I'm afraid I'm new and don't know what I'm doing. I read your link to no avail. Any chance you could briefly run me through why what I did is different from the format of the Pilot summary? Chris Hindle (talk) 04:28, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Tom Sayle

Having thought about the matter further, I have changed my mind. There doesn't seem to be any reason to keep the page, so I have deleted it. Sorry about the delay. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:14, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: List of Districts of England by Population Density

Hello Launchballer. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of List of Districts of England by Population Density, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: R3 is for "recently created" redirects, and this is 7 years old. There's a reason for that restriction; on old redirect may be linked to externally, and we have no way to check that. Also "redirects are cheap", deleting it doesn't save any space, and none of the reasons at WP:R#DELETE applies. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:17, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Refs?

Did you seriously think that your Wimbledon Chase article would be accepted with a complete absence of references - grid or otherwise? Pull your finger out and provide some external links then we can think about moving it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:08, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello Launchballer, Thank you for editing and fixing Em-Amen article.

The change that you made indicates she was born as Amy Reeder Hadley. Instead, Hadley is the name of her ex-husband...Naraht (talk) 18:11, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Everything Starts With an 'e' ‎

Hi. I have declined your two redirect speedies.The 2007 one is too old for a WP:CSD#R3 (the point of limiting that to new redirects is that over time external links in may have been created which it is better not to break) and your new one seems to me possibly useful. Generally, we are reluctant to deleted redirects unless they are actually confusing or harmful - see WP:RFD#HARMFUL. Regards, JohnCD (talk)

Your Signature

I was hoping I could convince you to tone down your signature as it nearly blinds me when it is on the page with your color scheme. WP:SIG#Appearance and color might be of interest to you in doing this. Thank you. — User:Technical 13   ( C • M • View signature as intended) 14:20, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

No, is the short answer to your request. There was a big uproar over my signature several years ago and it hasn't been changed since. If colour was an issue, it would have been mentioned at the time. And by the way, I suggest you address the glaring issues with your signature before you bollock me over mine.--Launchballer 14:37, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
My signature conforms to the standards that have been set. As I'm sure you have read on my talk page, I've had many discussions about it, and have in response to those made it conform to all of the guidelines set in WP:SIG. As far as your signature goes, it is COMPLETELY non-compliant to WCAG 2.0 AA(A) standards with a contrast ratio of 3.19 according to [1] (The only way that that checker says it could be compliant would be if the font size was 18pt or greater, which it is not). — User:Technical 13   ( C • M • View signature as intended) 15:59, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
I was asked on my talk page to come comment.
By my interpretation of WP:SIG, neither of your signatures are technically in violation, but both should be changed.
Launchballer, my reading of WP:SIG tells me that there's no hard-and-fast rule about contrast, but as a courtesy to others, you should, of your own accord, make it easier on others people's eyes.
Technical_13, while the max character count stated in WP:SIG only mentions code and not visible characters, your signature's visible length is excessive, and I'd give you the same advice as I did Launchballer: you should really change it of your own accord, despite being technically permitted to do what you're doing (and despite providing instructions for people to change how they view it should they have a problem with it -- which is not a solution). I could also do a little research to show you many discussions that ended with the decision that max character count for signatures actually pertains to the total including date/time stamp, which would put you significantly over. But I'm too lazy to do that.
To sum up, both your signatures are annoying to many people. You both know this and you should want to endeavor to avoid annoying people, rather than arguing over what the "rules" technically allow. Equazcion (talk) 17:07, 1 Apr 2013 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I agree with Equazcion. Jonathunder (talk) 01:25, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
  • Your issue with mine was length, so I was happy to shorten it in good faith. Now please adjust your color scheme Launch. It is blinding, which is both annoying and inconviencing. Thank you. — User:Technical 13   ( C • M • View signature as intended) 01:50, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
    • T13, please strongly consider dropping the "View signature as intended" completely. You'll gain far more respect from working with consensus than maintaining conflict for the sake of it. —Sladen (talk) 10:20, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
      • Having an extra link to something you feel passionate about is not only allowed, but an effect that I've seen administrators use to support/promote their WikiProjects and such. My signature is shorter with the extra link than it was with "Contributions" and "discussions" spelled out. My signature does no harm, it doesn't violate color requirements that say that anything that is like blinking or scrolling where as it causes undo pain or being forced to squint because it is too bright and there is too little of a contrast ratio is not allowed. That brightness in his signature physically hurts my eyes, and others as well from what I've read. — User:Technical 13   ( C • M • View signature as intended) 10:38, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

* I think 54 is decent for someone that has been actively editing just six weeks, and you have ignored the dozens of other edits I have invested in my userspace drafts. — User:Technical 13   ( C • M • View signature as intended) 11:05, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Of those 54 edits, 12 are from 2011, and 9 are from 2012. Please consider making the signature change (of your own accord), and focusing on useful contributions. —Sladen (talk) 11:11, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
That still ignores the 20 userspace drafts, 124 WP:VPT, 18 WP:Help desk, 19 WP:TH, and numerous requested template fixes from requests on those boards. I'm done discussing it here and will file a formal complaint with the appropriate administrators/arbitrators group because his signature is in violation of "As some users have vision problems, be sparing with color. If you insist on using different colors in your signature, please ensure that the result will be readable by people with color blindness, defective color vision, and other visual disabilities." that requires him to be sparing with colors and ensure the results will be readable, which he was not and the result is not. — User:Technical 13   ( C • M • View signature as intended) 11:45, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Launchballer - I don't know how long you've had your signature (apparently I've commented on it in the past...), or how long WP:SIG has had the requirement on colour contrast. But it appears (taking Technical_13's word for it, as the ratio calculator isn't working for me) your signature doesn't meet the current guideline. This says As some users have vision problems, be sparing with color. If you insist on using different colors in your signature, please ensure that the result will be readable by people with color blindness, defective color vision, and other visual disabilities, and in the footnote to that mentions 5:1 for the contrast. If you've had this scheme for a while, maybe it's time for a new one? Rd232 talk 23:10, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Wow. I had absolutely no idea this thread was that long. I was busy editing article space at the time - an example which certain users may wish to follow. A refreshment of the discussion can be found here and here.
As you will see, the current signature was created by an administrator, after considerable discussion, after a complaint (minor issues tend not to be reported), so to complain further about it is insulting to Xeno, the administrator who created it. As far as I'm concerned, this is the same ruckus that was kicked up almost four years ago so it falls foul of WP:STICK and with all due respect I'm not being told what I can and can't do regarding my signature by someone who had the most messed up signature I've ever seen in my five or so years of editing Wikis (it still isn't much better).--Launchballer 00:28, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
I have been editing somewhat longer than that, using the default signature the whole time with no difficulty. Perhaps you might try it? Jonathunder (talk) 00:47, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Actually, this is a solution to it. I find the boilerplate signature, well, boilerplate - it says nothing about me.--Launchballer 00:49, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
The problem with Launchballer's signature in 2009, including attitude.
Launchballer, I have good vision but even I find your signature difficult to read. Rockwell Extra Bold renders very poorly at default size; the "un" squishes together, the "h" looks extremely similar to the "b", and the "e" looks something like the "a", or possibly "o". If I did have impaired visual acuity it would almost certainly be impossible to read. Please change it. Regarding As far as I'm concerned, this is the same ruckus that was kicked up almost four years ago, well, in the sense that you still have a disruptive signature in one way or another, yes, it is still the same problem. — Hex (❝?!❞) 12:22, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

(Then why wouldn't they have mentioned it then?) Anyway, is this better?--Launchballer 13:23, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

No, that is not better. It fails the colour contrast guidelines and the text almost illegible at my normal screen resolution of 125%. At 100% resolution the letters fade into invisibility. The colors do not meet the color contrast guidelines; people with vision problems relating to contrast will not be able to read your name, and people with color blindness will not be able to see it at all. -- Dianna (talk) 14:11, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Is this better?--Launchballer 14:14, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
It meets the contrast guidelines and looks okay at 125%, but at 100% the letters all start to meld together, becoming illegible. How about Launchballer ? Can everyone see that okay? -- Dianna (talk) 14:31, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
If you don't mind me asking, could I have a screendump of it melding together at 100%?--Launchballer 14:59, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Here's how it looks for me, with the problems I described above: — Hex (❝?!❞) 15:50, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
To me, that clearly reads as "Launchballer". I don't see any problems with it.--Launchballer 16:00, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
Plainly you do not have any vision problems then. It needs to be legible to all users, not just those with good vision. -- Dianna (talk) 18:30, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
The problem described by Hex may be related to how Rockwell Extra Bold is supported by Windows XP. On Ubuntu the text is quite readable.
Now, on other issues, is it OK if I immortalize this disagreement in the list of Wikipedia:Lamest edit wars. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 19:40, 4 April 2013 (UTC)
You have a point, the machine on which I'm experiencing the issue (for one reason or another) is running XP. I haven't had a chance to check it on my usual Win7 box. That said, a lot of people still use XP, so the problem shouldn't be ignored. — Hex (❝?!❞) 09:46, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
As Hex said, even XP is still used, the grammar School where I was until last year even had Win2000/NT. I would say that it would be best to let the font out, on linux (Open Suse with KDE GUI) it seems like the font isnt even used, which looks way better than with the fon on my Win7. and as on my comment after the outdent (My1xT is insecure Account of My1) a combination of fixing the colors and killing the font would be best...
No, Petri, that would not be OK as there isn't any sort of edit war here, lame or otherwise. Jonathunder (talk) 20:59, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Well I think the blue on yellow is even worse than red on cyan... an a bit darker blue and a brighter yellow, but stronger than Dianna suggested, a bit like Launchballer is that ok???

Re: Scottsdale Mall

If you just want to create a disambiguation page for the mall, I don't think that you need the articles to be undeleted for that, since the clarification for each entry would be along the lines of ", in <insert place here>", or something terse like that. Though, at least per some discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scottsdale Centre Mall, there may be disagreement as to whether at least one instance of "Scottsdale Mall" warrants even a mention in a broader article on its corresponding town—in which case, we wouldn't have an entry for that particular mall, per WP:DABRELATED ("Do not include articles unless the term being disambiguated is actually described in the target article.").

Note that I myself have no opinion on whether the malls actually should or shouldn't be mentioned, since those deletion discussions occurred a few years ago and things may have changed; I'm just stating a potential caveat that I see.

If, after considering this, you still think it'd be useful to have those articles undeleted, you should make a request at Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion. I was inactive on Wikipedia for some years and, due to inactivity, am no longer an administrator, so I wouldn't be able to do the undeletion myself. —TKD [talk][c] 13:37, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

FYI

Just wanted to let you know Slowking4 removed a bunch of messages from their talk page [3]. While they are obviously entitled to do so per the guidelines, the way this was done so here seems a bit poor as they removed messages it appears you are replying to without making this clear so it may now seem that you are replying to things you may only be partially doing. Just wanted to let you know in case you wish to clarify or remove your message. Cheers. Nil Einne (talk) 13:55, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

I saw it, but I wasn't entirely sure what to make of it. I suppose it's within guidelines, so I don't see what harm it could do.--Launchballer 14:17, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Removing a category

Hello. Why did you make this edit to {{User wikipedia/Administrator someday}}?--Rockfang (talk) 00:55, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Ok. I don't think that the above edit removed the template from any category. I think your edit changed the userbox so it doesn't put users into the category. If I'm correct, do you mind if I revert that edit?--Rockfang (talk) 06:51, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Herb Rooney

Hello, Launchballer. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Herb Rooney, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

  1. edit the page
  2. remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
  3. save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

New York, New York Hotel and Casino

Well, that is based on how the company brands it. This also matches how many casinos are disambiguated. What other option are you thinking of? Vegaswikian (talk) 20:05, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Not saying that is the correct name, just that it is in line with established conventions. For the record, the article is actually at New York-New York Hotel and Casino. I believe that at one time this was branded with the dash in the name, that no longer appears to be the case. If you go to their web site, the tab at the top currently uses 'Las Vegas Hotel - New York-New York Hotel & Casino' but that is not what is on the logo. Several of the building reference sites use 'New York-New York' or 'New York-New York Hotel and Casino' or some variation. So again what other option are you thinking of? Vegaswikian (talk) 21:12, 4 June 2013 (UTC)
New York, New York is the name of a city and the primary use for that title. It can not and should not be the name for the article on the hotel and casino. Vegaswikian (talk) 21:41, 4 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi, please don't delete dead links. Often it is possible for techies to fix them or use Wayback machine to correct the link. That's why a deadlink tag is added. It's better to show the address for the original resource or replace the ref with one that works. Thanks Span (talk) 14:14, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

A floating [4] is absolutely useless unless it links somewhere and on popups, which omits proper references, appears as [#] and looks like a test. I call them burqed links because all you can see is some number-sized slot in the middle of two covers; at the end of the day, this isn't The Prisoner. This is Wikipedia. We do not identify references as numbers, we use their names. Although having said that, what is this Wayback machine that can be used to format dead links?--Launchballer 14:42, 8 June 2013 (UTC)
A wayback machine is a webservice which archives Websites from before so you can look on them in an earlier state
here's an example [5] this shows Google at its beginning where it looked rather plain, and you also can use this to "revive" dead links...

Speedy deletion nomination of Per Marin Tvengsberg

I have also tagged it for deletion because it doesn't credibly indicate the important/significance of the subject not least the fact that it borders patent nonsense. If you wish to start an article, please draft it in user-space. Oh, and per WP:SIG, your signature must link to either your user page, your user talk page or, for some reason that I do not fully understand, your contributions.--Launchballer 20:02, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

Better. We regard patent nonsense as anything which contains no encyclopedic content whatsoever.--Launchballer 20:08, 15 June 2013 (UTC)


I have made the user page as you asked me to. Encyclopedia is a type of reference work – a compendium holding a summary of information from either all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Can you please take a look at http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Slash_and_burn. When you use the word whatsoever, is that an exact description or an ironic phrase contending irritated feelings. If the last, how have I irritated you? It has not been my intent.--Svedjebruk (talk) 20:20, 15 June 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Svedjebruk (talk • contribs) --Svedjebruk (talk) 20:54, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

That's on WikiSource, which isn't Wikipedia and unfortunately I've never so much as even set foot on that site, so I can't judge inclusion standards there - although if that's acceptable there, that's probably why. As far as I'm concerned, there is very little, if any, encyclopaedic content in that article hence my usage of the word whatsoever. Generally, when people say userspace they mean subpages such as those at User:Launchballer#Subpages.--Launchballer 20:51, 15 June 2013 (UTC)

There are more and more references to Per Martin Tvengsberg and his books on Wikipedia and more to come. Just to give you a few examples of encyclopedic content, take a look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_agriculture, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_age, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikings. References to Per Martin Tvengsberg and his books. But if Wikipedia is better off without info about him I have no strong feelings about this.

Pugsley

You tagged User:Launchballer/Broken Complex for deletion with {{delete|Founder …}} which concealed the fact that you were proposing deletion. A simple {{db-u1}} would have been better - we don't need to know why you want it deleted. While we are on the subject of deletion …

I really am sorry to dampen your youthful enthusiasm by sending Conrad Pugsley to AfD. What clinched it for me was when someone mentioned John Gladden in the pub the other day - Google search. The blue Marlin is still on his roof - streetview. Now I would rate John Gladden as more notable in Norbury than Conrad Pugsley is Sutton. John made it to a few national sources but he does not have a Wikipedia article. OK, other stuff exists is never an argument for inclusion so, conversely, "other stuff does not exist" is never an argument for deletion which is why I have not cited Gladden in the AfD nomination. (If the AfD decides Pugsley is notable then you could try an article for Gladden and I will supply a photo of the marlin.) — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:57, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

I tend to explain myself when I'm requesting deletion of an article which wasn't started by me (I requested the deleted text by the deleting administrator), because I feel like I'm flicking two fingers up at the restoring administrator. Anyway, Gladden (in my opinion) would only have one event to his name (albeit a 798lb one, how did that get up there?) whereas Pugsley has several, ranging from having a controversial sculpture of him produced to surviving a court case. He's undergoing another for failure to pay his rent (he changed his name to something ludicrous) but I'll let the press report that, and the other users decide the fate of the AfC. I've replied there.--Launchballer 20:31, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
