Hey Cac, thanks for the preload - that's awesome. I didn't even know about that feature! [[User:Pretzels|'''P<span style="font-size:0.9em;">retzels</span>''']]<sup>[[User talk:Pretzels|Talk!]]</sup> 19:22, 27 September 2009 (UTC) |

:Yeah, I was going through the templates; are you planning on creating a new footer for the Sing post? I was going through the code and found that, with a few parse functions, you could cut all the parameters — which would, well, automate everything. I think you understand that BASEPAGENAME and SUBPAGENAME can be included into the called template. As for the date, you could use the #time function, such that <nowiki>{{#time: Y-m-d|{{#titleparts:{{PAGENAME}}|1|2}} -7 days}}</nowiki>; this would return last issue's date and you could insert that into the url. Ultimately, and of course, you could keep the parameters are "overrides". I could write it all in if you want, I promise not to break anything. ;) [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] ([[User talk:ChyranandChloe#top|talk]]) 19:40, 27 September 2009 (UTC) |

::I'm happy for you to experiment - although it's important that older editions are not affected, so bear that in mind. Also, not every signpost is exactly 7 days apart, hence why next/prev dates are manually specified. It's also best to propose major changes on [[Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost]] first, so as not to confuse contributors and readers. Something I'd be interested to set up would be a redirect, or maybe just a noinclude header in the preload; currently after leaving a comment you get dumped on the talk page. You should add yourself under Design & templates on our [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/Newsroom#Regular_responsibilities|Regular responsibilities]] table, your parser/template/wikimarkup knowledge is awesome and it'd great to have you help out on a regular basis!

::*I could actually do with your help. I'm setting up a task list with multiple statuses for upcoming ''Signpost'' issues; it's currently at [[User:Pretzels/Signpost-tasks]].

:Well, the idea I had was "assuming defaults" if no values were entered, but those pages that use those templates are maintained by a small group of editors, so I guess that it's probably not necessary. Can the page be redirected back? I'm not sure, I don't think so, [[mw:Manual:Parameters to index.php]]. I've cleaned up your code and added a parse functions, unused rows will not display.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pretzels/Signpost-tasks/Task-set&diff=316987176&oldid=316962531][http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Pretzels/Signpost-tasks/Task&diff=316986877&oldid=316953459] I don't know if I want to be a back up or have regular responsibilities; I've got other responsibilities.

== tobacco == |
|||
Hiya CaC, |
|||
It is not a big deal, but my observations on tobacco harvesting come from personal experience. This is not a field in which I study, so I cannot give you sources off hand. Nonetheless, I note that the paragraph from which I cited has no references. Nitpicking perhaps, but there are a lot of migrant workers, and rural Kentuckians that might take issue with being called "single piece farm equipment". The only machinery I have seen involved in cultivation are setters (also used for peppers and other crops), and wagons, both of which are pulled by tractors. Pretty primitive and labor intensive process in general. |
|||
Anyway, I appreciate that you have posted an informative general piece on tobacco. Just thought I would throw my two cents in. |
|||
Cheers, |

You must feel pretty strongly about this. I'm sorry that I sort of blew you off in my last comment,[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Global_warming&action=historysubmit&diff=328754816&oldid=328753016] but please explain. In addition to global temperature peaks, you mentioned bias from the IPCC. [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] ([[User talk:ChyranandChloe|talk]]) 06:02, 2 December 2009 (UTC) |
|||
I don't feel as strongly as I might have come off. However, after reading the edit you made to the talk page, I can't help but believe you think I'm trying to disprove global warming in general, or something. About the IPCC bias, it's mostly their use of CRU data. While they haven't exactly had the chance to seriously address the fact that they drew conclusions in part on fudged or unreliable data, I get a nagging suspicion that they're going to do the intelligent thing and throw out all CRU input as a way to demonstrate neutrality. The IPCC does not necessarily need to change its conclusions to remain neutral, but it certainly must change its premises - that being, that CRU is reliable. I mean, citing a scientific source that admits to have fudged data about a current scientific issue is like citing Fox News on conservatism.

|||
:No, not at all. I was following Mikenorton's lead wondering whether you've read FAQ 3 or were listening. [[Talk:Global warming#Just a suggestion: mention Climategate in the skepticism section|This]] is a much better proposal, although, if I may critique, the "<citation(s) here>" literally tells me: you're too lazy to do the research, or too opinionated to hold a good faith discussion. This isn't anything personal, it's just that I've seen ''a lot'' of proposals like this before, and I know what the old-time editors are looking for. Beyond that, it's wording, but your probably sick of my two cents on this, right? Yeah, the [http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/ CRU]'s stigmatized, but you got remember that [http://vortex.nsstc.uah.edu/data/msu/t2lt/tltglhmam_5.2 NASA] and [ftp://ftp.ssmi.com/msu/monthly_time_series/rss_monthly_msu_amsu_channel_tls_anomalies_land_and_ocean_v03_0.txt NOAA] keep independent data sets. You mentioned fudged data, please explain, I mean where did you get that? Besides the point, your proposal has merit. Right now the talk page's too polarized for good faith, do you want to move it here? I can look at it, and when the talk page cools down I can help you git through.

::The main reason I put <citation here> in a few places is because if I put in actual reference tags, MediaWiki would've freaked out and told the viewer of the article that the code is malformed, and I didn't want to clutter the page with exact wiki code.

Hi CaC, you didn't reply at my TP, did you read my comment? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Global_warming#Missing_information_about_Climategate_consensus Here] is an example of what I find irritating.

== Your valued opinion on section naming == |
|||
We [[Wikipedia_talk:Layout/Archive_6#Footer_titles_and_contents|spoke before]] |
|||
about the subject of how to name sections. |
|||
I find myself without a decent debate to my |
|||
recent insight about naming article sections in general. |
|||
During our past discussion, and having read and your links pertaining to that discussion, |
|||
I found your analytical skills to be respectable. |
|||
Would you please consider the merit of this idea for Wikipedia: |
|||
* For articles whose subject may include many competing products, section names should not ''normally'' contain the products names. Such sections might be better named more permanently. Any link to any section may become more structural than even [[WP:categories|categories]] or [[WP:outlines|outlines]], because changing a section name later can become more difficult than changing the structural elements in a category or outline. Notability guidelines do not directly limit the content of articles, and structuring by product name encourages size, tempts [[WP:COI]], and may increase bias and zealous editing in such articles. |
|||
After all, WP Layout and WP MOS share similar concerns, |
|||
and I note you and WhatAmIdoing are regulars at WP Layout discussions. |
|||
Care to join this [[Wikipedia_talk:MOS#Section_names_should_not_normally_contain_trademarked_products|MOS discussion]]? |
|||
Thanks anyway. — [[User:Cpiral|<font color="#00C000">Cp</font><font color="#80C000">i</font><font color="#C08000">r</font><font color="#C00000">al</font>]][[User talk:Cpiral|<font color="#2820F0"><u>Cpiral</u></font>]] 20:36, 11 December 2009 (UTC) |

:I'm sorry, but I'm busy right now. This is a quick analysis, but this is what I see.<ol><li>Editors ask how, how do I determine whether products names would be an appropriate header? Spend more time defining a criteria, you've got "normally"; maybe "reasonable", "notable", "in non-controversial cases" (negated appropriated, of course).</li><li>"might be" is weak. The guideline needs to be clear and sure. Strive to break it down to one word: "is".

Sentence three "Any link to any section may[..]" seems kind of ambiguous and [[Abstract object|abstract]], try to be [[concrete objects|concrete]]. I think you might also be able to (1) omit it or (2) propose it separately.</li><li>Like the previous, the last half of the last sentence is probably unnecessary. It sounds like your trying to ''defend'' the guideline. In disputes, guidelines and polices are used as [[appeals to authority]]. They expect guidelines to be already well thought-out, and in no need of further explanation. Or if they do need explanation, its better to have them come to the discussion and have it clearly drawn out. Of course it's probably not worth a total omission. A new practice I've seen is putting those defenses in a <nowiki><ref></nowiki>.</li></ol>This is what I can give you, if its not enough, feel free to ask again.

::In '''chapter two''', [[WP:Naming conventions]] gets a ''Section titles'' part. Cpiral and company gather all the section naming material from ''Layout'' and ''Manual of Style'' and have fun with the {{tl|naming conventions|title=Specific-topic guidelines}} template. |
|||
::There is no coherent naming guideline for section titles, yet section naming is just as structural to an encyclopedia as are its outline and its categories. This is because the name of a section determines: |
|||
::* the outline of the article; |
|||
::* the growth pattern of the article; |
|||
::* the articles that spin-off of the [[W:WP:SS|summary article]] when it outgrows itself; |
|||
::* the link precision of inter-article links made by editors who only go by titles, and not content. |
|||
::There is no ''what links here'' for sections and so currently we have at [[W:WP:MOS#Section management]]: |
|||
:::* When linking to a section, as a courtesy, go to that article's section and leave an editor's note to remind others that the title is linked. List the names of the linking articles, so that if the title is altered, others can fix the links without having to perform exhaustive searches. |
|||

::::<code><nowiki> ==Evolutionary implications<!--This section is linked from [[Richard Dawkins]] and [[Daniel Dennett]]-->== </nowiki></code> |

== Help with [[dermatology]]-related content == |
|||
I am looking for more help at the [[WP:DERM|dermatology task force]], particularly with our new [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/Dermatology_task_force/Missing_articles|Bolognia push 2009!]]? Perhaps you would you be able to help us? I could send you the login information for the Bolognia push if you are interested? ---[[User:Kilbad|kilbad]] ([[User talk:Kilbad|talk]]) 14:24, 12 December 2009 (UTC) |

==Page move== |
|||
C+C, could you please undo your move of "Public opinion on climate change" to "Public opinion on global warming," pending further discussion? I could give reasons for keeping the current name here but think the discussion would be better on the article talk page.

:So sorry, no one replied in [[Talk:Public opinion on climate change#Scope?]], and since everyone's active today I assumed you all knew. Revert's done. [[User:ChyranandChloe|ChyranandChloe]] ([[User talk:ChyranandChloe#top|talk]]) 01:33, 24 December 2009 (UTC) |

== Thank YOU == |

Dear ChyranandChloe: Thank you so much for archiving the discussion page of the usability wiki. It is much much easier to go through the discussion topics after the page had been archived. I have been wondering who did it and just encountered your comment. Please pardon my belated "thank you" note. --[[User:Shuhari|Shuhari]] ([[User talk:Shuhari|talk]]) 00:27, 7 January 2010 (UTC) |

== Global Warming == |
|||
Please could you use edit summaries on reverts such as [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Global_warming&action=historysubmit&diff=337079013&oldid=337077824] on articles on Probation? However obvious the revert is to you and edit summary helps stop escalation into edit war --[[User:BozMo|BozMo]] [[user talk:BozMo|talk]] 07:43, 11 January 2010 (UTC) |
|||
: Edit summaries are good. But in this case it is hard to criticise C&C because the added text is so obviously unacceptable to anyone familiar with the topic [[User:William M. Connolley|William M. Connolley]] ([[User talk:William M. Connolley|talk]]) 10:20, 11 January 2010 (UTC) |
|||
::That particular addition was not "obviously unacceptable". In fact, some part of the discussion Prof Latif (of the "renowned Leibniz Institute at Germany’s Kiel University") has entered into is necessary to the article if it's not to look partial and uniformative. It would be much more useful to remind editors that it is rude and unhelpful to re-factor the TalkPage comments of others and that they should refrain from passing comments on other editors. [[User:MalcolmMcDonald|MalcolmMcDonald]] ([[User talk:MalcolmMcDonald|talk]]) 12:18, 17 January 2010 (UTC) |

==Incivility== |
|||
If I haven't formatted something properly please feel free to fix it. Editing Wikipedia is a collaborative exercise. Also, please refrain from disparaging my comments and characterizing my concerns about William Connolly's abusive incivility, COI issues, and improper refactoring of other editors comments as a "rant". That isn't constructive. [[User:ChildofMidnight|ChildofMidnight]] ([[User talk:ChildofMidnight|talk]]) 21:43, 24 January 2010 (UTC) |

Hi CandC, I noticed you created this template. I had a question about one of the parameter explanations that I left on the talk page [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:Cnote2/doc here]. Could I inconvenience you for a moment to clarify this for me?
