Disambiguation link notification for December 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Merab Turkadze, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia (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.

Image placement issue

Hi Marek,

This is my first time using the talk pages so I hope I'm doing it right... When reading the page on timber framing I noticed the image of Anne Hvides Gaard Svendborg was not placed right. It is an image from Denmark, beside a paragraph about British tradition. What's more, the image seems to disturb the last item of the bullet list above it. When I went to the edit page I noticed that in the source the image is in the right place. I've tried a number of ways to get it in the right place but sofar without success... Basically, I think the image should be placed just like the image of Idstein a little further down the page; a thumbnail on the left, just below a heading, with text flowing on the right. When comparing the two images I noticed one starting with File, the other with Image. Changing this did not change the layout. I noticed that the Danish image is below a heading 2 while the German image is below a heading 3. Changing the heading above the Danish image to heading 3 did not change the layout. Please have a look at this page. I can't figure out why this image is refusing to be positioned where it should. By the way, I'm using Firefox. It looks slightly better in IE but the images are still not placed the same way.

Thanks,

(talk page stalker) There's a long stack of right-aligned images, and some of these are pushed downward by those above them. Images are always displayed in the same order that they occur in the source, so when a left-aligned image is in the source after a right-aligned image which has been pushed downward, it will also be displaced downward. In general, the upper edge of a left-aligned image displaced in this manner will be no higher than the upper edge of the immediately-preceding right-aligned image. It's a known problem, for which there are several solutions. For example, some of the images which are currently right-aligned could be moved to the left, which will allow others to move up the page; less-important images can be removed; or (best) more text can be added. More at MOS:IMAGELOCATION. --Redrose64 (talk) 12:35, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick answer. That explains it. I've moved the images around a bit on the page so it display properly now. Rvallenduuk (talk) 18:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance Redrose :-) -- Marek.69 ^talk 02:01, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Barnstars will be awarded to anyone who copy edits at least one article, and special awards will be given to the top five in the following categories: "Number of articles", "Number of words", "Number of articles of over 5,000 words", "Number of articles tagged in January, February, and March 2012", and "Longest article". We hope to see you there! – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

Translation request

Hi Marek, happy New Year. :-) Could I ask you a favour? I'm nominating Icelandic Phallological Museum for Today's Featured Article but would like to increase its score. It's only 5 languages off being a "widely covered" topic. Would you mind translating the stub article at User:Prioryman/Icelandic Phallological Museum summary for the Polish wiki?

Help

I'm losing track. I assume you can view my talk page. If you can't, you'll have to tell me what to do so that you can.

You may see that I asked a question at the Teahouse. That's where the "problem" started. Although I signed my post with 4 tildes, the SineBot kicked in. I don't understand why. Then, I'm not sure what the responses I got mean. Taking it through, I assume that an editor simply decided that the article I was asking about wasn't sufficiently objective and put in the NPOV tag. I would have thought that, if an editor believes an article to be biased, he/she should look into it, identify both the original author and any other contributors, and then look to see the article amended. Not just tag it and leave it.

Then, if I want to have a conversation with the said editor, what is the protocol? Do I continue on the Teahouse page or go to the editor's talk page?

And I don't understand the advice given about my signature on the Special Preferences page. The advice given on the Special Preferences page seems to be at odds with the advice I was given.

And then the SineBot kicked in again! Is there some maximum space that is allowed before the 4 tildes are inserted?

I sort of wish I'd never asked the question now. It seems to have resulted in more problems than I was hoping to get resolved. But I have to get to the bottom of it now. Agent0060 12:51, 29 January 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agent0060 (talk • contribs)
