Norwegian road signs

Moved from Wikipedia:Files for upload

Are you serious? I know it says not to edit archived discussions, but I just have to make some comments on this. The converted files have the exact issues I experienced, which is why I said SVG didn't work. The lines are not part of the images. It's the EPS to SVG method that simply does not work. The intricate shapes aren't accurate, so they leave gaps between them, as well as weird shapes on some arrows. Also, you didn't split any of the images into a, b, c, etc. The PNGs I provided are far superior, and would've given you far less work to simply upload. Scalable means next to nothing when the image turns out so inaccurate.

Anyway, after two months I don't give much of a damn any longer. Not that I don't appreciate the effort on your end, but I had made quite an effort as well, and this end result is thoroughly disappointing. I had already done what you did here, except that I'm not allowed to upload without registering. If the SVGs are replaced with the PNGs, someone else will have to edit the article. Not going to check here daily for another two months, sorry to say. 158.37.73.32 (talk) 23:01, 2 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I know that the convert has taken really long, but please don't bother me, since I'm in my exams and I hadn't found any time for tis task. I can still split the images, if you say me which one. I didn't do it, since these seemed for me one image/shield. The problem is with the svg, that there need to be only a small correction, which I'm thinking is okay as it is. Okay, 4 images (I already mentioned) have bigger display problems, although they are still enough to use. mabdul 23:43, 3 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

FYI I requested a job at Wikipedia:Graphic_Lab/Illustration_workshop#Norwegian_Road_signs. mabdul 11:23, 4 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. If they turn out to be repairable, that would be nice. I was just quite disappointed to see that your images turned out exactly as the ones I converted myself. I could've provided them 2 months ago, and I specifically mentioned that they turned out problematic in my original request. The issue is that right now, they display the signs worse than the PNGs I provided.

The splitting issue regards all images that depict multiple signs. I had split them for the PNG versions. 158.37.73.32 (talk) 17:39, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could you reupload the eps files for the Graphic Lab-team? I don't have them any more since my harddisk of my laptop the day before yesterday... mabdul 18:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, so I noticed something with the template you helped me with and I was wondering if you could help me out. It seems that the section parameter is dependent on there being either a previous or a next parameter, so what happens is that a header without a previous or next, but with a section, is showing nothing, see this,if you click on edit, you'll see that the seccion parameter is filled, but not showing on the page. - Theornamentalist (talk) 13:54, 13 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

I need help in expanding the templates as well as creating more of them. I will be mentioning a series of short comings and problems I have. I didn't want to bore you off with this info until you had the free time :).

A small history lesson, I apologize if you know all this already. My understanding of the complicated history of EU is limited but... Three significant events lead to the formation of EU. (More info is at Treaties of the European Union#Ratified_treaties which has a nice chart.)

Inner Six/Outer Seven era where a few of the post-ww2 era Western European countries formed a number of loosely related economic treaties. These were European Coal and Steel Community, European Economic Community, European Atomic Energy Community most notably.
European Communities was formed in 1 July 1967 with Merger Treaty. The above treaties were amended and merged. This isn't currently represented in the template as I am unsure what the best way is to handle the complex relationship.
With 1993-11-1 with Maastricht Treaty the EU we know today came into existence.

What I want the template to do is all I should do is provide it a date and it should pull the relevant membership info. In the case of France, EU field should show "I6" or "Inner Six" when a date after 1952 but before 1967 (dates of the treaties mentioned in 1 & 2 above) is given. It should return "EC" or "European Communities" for dates between 1967 and 1993 and show "EU" or "European Union" for dates after 1993.

As for the actual template done so far:

I created some documentation for the template: {{Membership/Sub/T/doc}} which should give a general idea. The templates actual use is probably a lot simpler than it looks.

Do also take a look at {{Membership/France}}. For France's historic relation with European Union consider the line:

  |EUorg={{{EUorg|EU}}}
  |EUpreorg={{{EUpreorg|EU/I6}}}

  |EU={{{EU|Show}}}
  |EUpre={{{EUpre|Show}}}

  |EUmembership={{{EUmembership|1993-11-1}}}
  |EUpremembership={{{EUpremembership|1952-07-23}}}

  |EUsup={{{EUsup|}}}

The reason why I have parameters like {{{EU|Show}}}, {{{EUsup|}}} is to allow people calling the template to pass values to the fields or hide the fields if needed.

The {{{EUorg|EU}}} determines what template will be called when the "EUmembership" needs to be shown. It actually calls {{Membership/Sub/Flag/EU}}. This is the EU we know as it came to existence/effect in 1993. The {{{EUpreorg|EU/I6}}} determines what template will be called for the "EUpremembership". It actually calls {{Membership/Sub/Flag/EU/I6}} in my work. As mentioned above the "European Communities" Pre-EU era isn't shown in this current template structure which is wrong. I6 ceased to exist (more or less) with the merger treaty I believe. The complication is that EU has two "pre-era"s. I was thinking of using a switch (somehow) but then waited to hear what you think. More detailed info of EU;s expansion is at Enlargement of the European Union#Detail.

The structure is a lot simpler for other organizations where membership is merely joining the organization and pre-membership is the time period where countries prepare for the membership.

The other issue is when countries leave organizations or end up getting suspended. For instance Fiji left the commonwealth after joining and then rejoined but has been suspended twice so far. Or France left NATO's military wing until recently. Such cases aren't handled either. Might I add the complicated membership of UN security council temporary membership where countries join for 2 years only multiple times with gaps.

One last thing I want to handle is the dates when countries came to existence or ceased to exist. If someone tries to pass the date 1950s to check the membership info for say Estonia they should be receiving a message saying the country did not exist as a sovereign country. Or if someone tries to link to Czechoslovakia by passing a date in 2000s they should get a warning that the country no longer exists. Likewise a NATO membership for 1930s (before NATO existed) or membership for organizations like Western Union, Warsaw Pact in 2010s should return an error as these organizations ceased to exist.

So these are the problems that require template coding. I'd like to know what you think. I want to maintain a one (or more) template structure as I think having all these relationships in one template would generate a template that is far far too complicated particularly when it needs to be updated.

Dysprosium Software

Sirs, I quote from Hitler and similar entities, "Now, the only way that remains for us is to use military force. We do not talk anymore." At last, you used the military power against my reasoning? Were you too busy to continue? This job of Wikipaedia is a hobby to promote knowledge of humans to objects that exist not a military endeavour. Sirs, Wikipaedia is declining in being reliable due to ever increasing use of militarism in it rather than knowledge seeking. How one can become sure that he is getting correct knowledge if he cannot become engaged in a peaceful dispute? I do not answer doubts you put forward since you blocked my way, abusing your position. You are confusing real objects with predicaments. That is all. I cannot fight back with the flood of confused people.

Sorry for telling now the following sentences: at the moment your article is deleted, but there is (maybe) a way to get it back. Go to Wikipedia:Deletion review and read it carefully (also the other requests for knowing what to write), and then request a review of the deleted article. Leave a Template:talkback (similar I left at your page) at the pages from the deleting admins at User talk:Causa sui and User talk:Fastily to the delete review. Hopefully they will revise the deletion. mabdul 23:49, 15 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Template:WikiProject Formula One

Hi Mabdul. Thanks for the changes you made. Unfortunately, they haven't really addressed the issue I was raising, which is that if you specify the "class" parameter as "redirect", "category", "template", "disambig", "file" or "portal", but don't specify a value for the "importance" parameter, the page is included in both Category:NA-importance Formula One articles and Category:Unknown-importance Formula One articles. As an example: {{WikiProject Formula One|class=template}} puts the article into Category:Template-Class Formula One articles, Category:NA-importance Formula One articles and Category:Unknown-importance Formula One articles. I think the original intention was that if you specified "class" as "template" (or "category", "disambig", etc), then the article would automatically be included in Category:NA-importance Formula One articles without you having to specify a value for "importance". Note that if you do specify a value for "importance" then everything is fine, i.e. {{WikiProject Formula One|class=template|importance=NA}} puts the article into just Category:Template-Class Formula One articles and Category:NA-importance Formula One articles. But I thought if it was simple to fix the template so you didn't have to specify the importance value for these class types then that was worthwhile doing.

I fixed many problems which were related to the wikify tag. But I do not want to remove the copyedit tag at the moment. Maybe ask at the WP:Help Desk or in the IRC for a review.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion.

It seems the URL for the image page got update and the thumbnail in the file history got updated, but the reference URL for the actual image didn't get updated, meaning the page didn't get updated. If there is something I can do to fix the situation I'd be happy to do that.

{{db-copypaste}} vs {{histmerge}}

I think your using the wrong template to request histmerges. {{db-copypaste}} requests that the article be deleted to make way for a clean page move, and does not request a histmerge. If carried out as defined on the template, the newer page will be deleted, and the old one moved over it, with no merge. That will cause the edits since the copy paste move to be lost. Instead you should request a histmerge using {tl|histmerge}}. Monty ₈₄₅ 14:40, 3 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

since you have not added ANY word to that "article", I dont know how this article is about. How about adding some sentences and finding some references? mabdul 10:37, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I did not get the meaning of ANY word Asmita yendralwar (talk | contribs) 08:30, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I said: you requested us for reviewing a blank article (draft), so you might expand the actual draft and I'm willing to rereview it. But at the moment, there is nothing to review since the article draft is empty and since I don't know what Btowc is, nor the reader knows it. mabdul 20:35, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nothus Miserum

Mabdul:

Thank you for your review of my recent submission: Nothus Miserum.

I understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a dictionary.

When I began to draft my submission, I looked for a model within Wikipedia that could serve as an example of an acceptable submission. I found Modus Operandi, a Latin phrase used in police jargon.

I do see that Modus Operandi appears in Wiktionary as well, with a link stating "Wikipedia has an article on Modus Operandi."

I plan to resubmit my entry to Wiktionary, again following Modus Operandi, and hope for better results.

However, I am having difficulty finding the entry point to the submission path for Wiktionary.

Can you direct me?

Thanks for your consideration.

Hello, I was asked to comment by mabdul. In addition to what mabdul said about Wikipedia not being a dictionary, judging from a Google search and the fact that your source is a blog post you wrote, it would appear that the phrase was originally coined by you. Wikipedia is not a place to publish original thought, so it's unlikely you'd ever be able to make that article. Please write about other encyclopedic topics instead. (Incidentally, Modus operandi is an acceptable article because it goes into detail beyond just the definition, but as your subject does not appear to be a pre-existing, widely used phrase, this is largely irrelevant.) wctaiwan (talk) 12:06, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of xxxterm

All references to Wikipedia policies You provided are about the web content. Do You really see no difference between the web browser and the sites You browse with it? Your page states You've written the articles about several proof-of-concept web browsers including Agora, so You might have noticed this difference before. So what the hell is going on?

I know, the notablity of most software for Unix-like can be disputed, but why abusing the speedy deletion if there is a proper AfD process if You suspect xxxterm to be not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Czarkoff (talk • contribs) 12:00, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I know that tagging it with webcontent might not be correct, but there is no better tagging under A7 in WP:TWINKLE. As you already noticed, that I'm really aware of the notability of web browsers. Please check the Agora article and others I wrote or am writing (like the User:Mabdul/Microsoft Mobile Explorer), all are referenced at least with some independent references and thus proved notability. You have only added one reference and this is primary source. mabdul 12:18, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please check the history of the xxxterm article, it was written just yesterday night. I didn't have time yet to add references. May be You first add refertences and only then write the text they would prove, I do it the opposite way. Anyway, thanks for not deleting the article instantly. — Dmitrij D. Czarkoff (talk) 18:49, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No I didn't checked the history. But that's the reason why there are WP:Userspace draft and an article wizard to create and improve the article so good that notability is shown. mabdul 19:31, 13 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Mabdul, and thank you for helping . I have tried to fix the problem of missing references, but am struggling with some of it and generally having a hard time finding my way around wikipedia. But I will persist! My main question: what happens after I have made the requested changes? How will I know if my edits have solved the concerns? Also What is the process by which the feedback comments are removed from the beginning of my article? Again, I am thankful to you for helping.Averyhart (talk) 03:32, 16 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.
