Dozenal multiplication table

Hi Double sharp,

is there still some need / interest in the dozenal multiplication table you requested in the WP:GL? It was archived to Wikipedia:Graphics Lab/Illustration workshop/Archive/May 2013#Dozenal multiplication table lately. NikNaks an me put quite some effort in it and as far as I can tell we were mainly done to the point deciding whether to use NikNaks version with SVG graphics or my proposal using CSS which looks better but might not work on some old browsers.

Regards, --Patrick87 (talk) 03:16, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm still (very) interested in this.

I really like your solution, but I'd personally still prefer lousy SVGs that work for everyone to nice CSS that doesn't work for everyone. Especially since these are numbers, and it's rather important to be able to distinguish 12 (decimal 22) from 12 (decimal 14)! (Also, they're also not aligned, like the SVGs, with the Pitman digits having a baseline lower than the normal decimal digits; interestingly, NikNaks' SVGs seem to align better on IE9 and IE10...)

We do also need a blue version of 3, but since that's quite possible with SVGs, I'd still prefer SVGs for this purpose. Double sharp (talk) 03:22, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Actually vertical alignment differs from browser to browser, so it will never look correct in all browsers (until one really does a huge amount of CSS hacking and I'm not sure if that's even allowed by the MediaWiki software). That's also independent of whether we are using CSS numbers or SVG graphics, alignment is inconsistent in both cases as I noticed during testing.

Is there anything left to do with NikNaks SVGs? The Arial versions looked quite good if I remember correctly. --Patrick87 (talk) 03:31, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Would prefer Arial (it looks the best and the most homogeneous with our other numbers). We just need a blue 3. Double sharp (talk) 03:34, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into it tomorrow. --Patrick87 (talk) 05:53, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to improve the positioning a little bit and created the colored versions. See User:Patrick87/multiplication table. There seems to be a caching issue right now, however, so the black numbers are not shown correctly. The blue numbers look as they will look eventually. --Patrick87 (talk) 17:44, 2 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks great (IE10). Double sharp (talk) 02:31, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

OK, great. So let's hope the caching problem is fixed soon. Let me now if anything is left to do. --Patrick87 (talk) 02:38, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Before you proceed changing the group name as you announced, pls take a look at my response at Template talk:periodic table. -DePiep (talk) 15:05, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Seen and replied. Double sharp (talk) 15:09, 3 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Will look, thx. I only came here because it looked like you might go on right away; otherwise, I know, there would not be this need. -DePiep (talk)

Disambiguation link notification for June 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of musical symbols, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Longa (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Poor notation

Look at the image you uploaded at the bottom of Two hundred fifty-sixth note. It has a key signature in the treble clef with flats on A, E, and A. The first flat should be on B. Is this a common error?? Georgia guy (talk) 14:05, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It is on B, it's just positioned much too low. Considering all the other howlers I've seen with key signatures, this one is pretty minor (at least the intention is obvious). Double sharp (talk) 16:04, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sextuple time

You said you were going to make sextuple time into its own article, but you didn't. Georgia guy (talk) 13:55, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whoa. This is a first; I'm being chased by someone else on Wikipedia to create an article. :-)

To answer your question, I've been rather busy throughout the past few days and so the article will have to wait a bit. Double sharp (talk) 13:58, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Created at sextuple meter. Double sharp (talk) 14:16, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there!

	Hey there!
	Hi Double sharp, I'm from the team behind Wikipedia VI: The Last Editor! We could use your help to get the sixth Wikipedia movie going. You see, our writing team came down with a severe case of writer's block, and we thought that getting fresh voices could help the team get the movie really going. Don't feel bad if you can't help out, and happy editing!

I will try to help somewhat. Double sharp (talk) 15:26, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Double sharp (talk) 10:44, 1 July 2013 (UTC)[reply] Welcome. --70.181.68.226 (talk) 01:08, 2 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]WikiCup 2013 June newsletterWe are down to our final 16: the 2013 semi-finals are upon us. A score of 321 was required to survive round 3, further cementing this as the most competitive WikiCup yet; round 3 was survived in 2012 with 243 points, in 2011 with 76 points and in 2010 with 250 points. The change may in part be to do with the fact that more articles are now awarded bonus points, in addition to more competitive play. Reaching the final has, in the past, required 573 points (2012, a 135% increase on the score needed to reach round 4), 150 points (2011, a 97% increase) and 417 points (2010, a 72% increase). This round has seen over a third of participants claiming points for featured articles (with seven users claiming for multiple featured articles) and most users have also gained bonus points. However, the majority of points continue to come from good articles, followed by did you know articles. In this round, every content type was utilised by at least one user, proving that the WikiCup brings together content contributors from all corners of the project. Round 3 saw a number of contributions of note. Figureskatingfan (submissions) claimed the first featured topic points in this year's competition for her excellent work on topics related to Maya Angelou, the noted American author and poet. We have also continued to see high-importance articles improved as part of the competition: Ealdgyth (submissions) was awarded a thoroughly well-earned 560 points for her featured article Middle Ages and 102 points for her good article Battle of Hastings. Good articles James Chadwick and Stanislaw Ulam netted Hawkeye7 (submissions) 102 and 72 points respectively, while 72 points were awarded to Piotrus (submissions) for each of Władysław Sikorski and Emilia Plater, both recently promoted to good article status. Collaborative efforts between WikiCup participants have continued, with, for example, Casliber (submissions) and Sasata (submissions) being awarded 180 points each for their featured article on Boletus luridus. A rules reminder: content promoted between rounds can be claimed in the round after the break, but not the round before. The case in point is content promoted on the 29/30 June, which may be claimed in this round. If you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. We are currently seeing concern about the amount of time people have to wait for reviews, especially at GAC- if you want to help out with the WikiCup, please do your bit to reduce the review backlogs! Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!
