That image tagging idea

Slightly strange...any idea why that page is the target of an IP vandal?! Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 16:28, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

We are testing a Safari issue that presents itself with Twinkle. I'm really sorry, but the issue is incredibly specific to the way twinkle interacts, and this is the only way i can reproduce it. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:32, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Aaah. Sorry - erm, I think I may have listed it at WP:AIV... Erm, oops! Giles Bennett ^{(Talk, Contribs)} 16:37, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Well partly my mistake as well, i should have made not of this better. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:39, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Could you please provide a better explanation of what is going on with that page? It certainly looks like a lot of wasted effort is going on with repeated requests for its speedy deletion, which are immediately declined. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Twinkle/Bugs#TW-B-0089_.28open.29. I'm gonna attempt to make a private version of twinkle that places different templates on the page. The bug is proving so difficult to trace that this will most likely be a very long road to get to the bottom of it. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 17:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Abdullah Öcalan

What is the source of "no disclaimers in wikipedia"? - CarbonLifeForm (talk) 10:56, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmmmm. Merely a guideline. I wonder whether it should apply where there is a 419 scam going on. - CarbonLifeForm (talk) 11:15, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

No. But I received a 419 email referring me here this morning. The talkpage is less likely to be read, I think. - CarbonLifeForm (talk) 11:21, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I see most of the people in Category:Uncategorised Indian people need a template BD to sort them into alpha order. - CarbonLifeForm (talk) 12:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I also received the scam email this morning. I think a warning should definitely be placed on the main page, especially if it's just a guideline and as it's being used to "convince" people to fall for the scam. If you're going to fall for the scam, you're not very likely to read the talk page or dig into the article history and find a user talk page... btw what's the source for the guideline?--192.100.124.219 (talk) 11:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

A warning is no problem. I had a problem with the warning being part of the article content. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 11:34, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

I am new at adding pictures

Both photos MS-townview-sw.jpg and its thumbnail MS-townview-sw-tn.jpg were taken by me and I released them to the public domain when I uploaded them (unless I made a mistake). I do not understand how to fix the problem. Further, I would like the thumbnail to be on the main page Mirabello Sannitico and then the larger one to appear when you click on it? I want to add a photo essay but must learn how to work with the photos. I have been reading the help sections.

Dear DJ, I just want to drop a note to thank you so much for your help with the issue Tiddly Tom left on my talk page, regarding the March 1 day numbering. I was out sick, and you swooped in and not only figured out what was wrong, but fixed it so quickly! I don't think I would have even been able to figure out why the day numbering thing was off, so what a great job you did, thank you so very much! Ariel♥Gold 19:20, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

peer review

I was wondering if you could take some time out of your schedule to head over to the Heroes (TV series) talkpage and give us an honest peer review. The page has gone through some major changes in the last few months, and it would be fantastic if a prominent editor/contributor like yourself, could head over and give us at the Heroes Wikiproject some sound opinion and ideas on improvements for the page. We have all worked very hard at improving the page, and we need great outside, reliable and trustworthy users to come over and help us improve. I you are interested in joining the peer review discussion with other prominent users/contributors, much like yourself, please follow the link. Thank you very much for your help and your continued effort to improve Wikipedia and its quality!

Coments on the Help desk question 4.14

I thank you for your comments. I would ask weather you were able to read the article? If so, did you expand the image to its fullest about the "Airborne Chief" and read it? I realize it is but one published article, but it was, in its full length or truncated form, published not only in the August 1969 Green Beret Magazine but also in the Army Digest; the Stars and Stripes Newspaper, Far East edition; and I think the Army Times (not real sure about that last one) from the same time frame. Of course linking to those articles is not possible today, nor is the Washington Post blurb with the photo of Meyer from the first Smithsonian Folklife Festival. However the book 'Scrimshaw: Variations on a Theme' by Martha Bowen is available in very limited quantities at whaling museums and some book stores.

I read all the additional remarks and ask, why do I feel that the Article about Robert L Howard, MoH winner Vietnam 1969, same unit, same time frame as Meyer’s 3rd CIB and who has an Internet page which says about the same thing his Wiki article says has an acceptable article. He has but one CIB. Bob Howard was my boss back in the ‘80s in Germany and was constantly under scrutiny by more senior officers because he had "THE Medal". I heard his war stories and they were good. Or the Article on Meyer’s former commander Frederick C Weyand whose apparent claim to fame is that he made General Officer and made some comments about the Vietnam War to a reporter (Uncle Fred is still alive at almost 92, now that is notable). Yeah if it sounds like I am bitter it is because I am. I had hoped that my article would be there forever and spread some light on an individual who in his way rose from the ranks to officer, went back to the ranks only to be promoted again to officer, and to take a reduction in rank to just stay in the active Army and 'volunteered' to go to Vietnam (at 27 years in the Army, he didn’t have to). He would not have received the 3rd CIB if he had not been assigned to Special Forces, which was just the luck of the draw. The promotion to Colonel in the Army Reserve while in Vietnam was just happen stance, didn’t affect his active duty rank, but paid off in the end (retirement). I don’t know how, other than posting images of his award citations (38 individual (medals)(some obviously multiple times), 3 CIBs, 2 parachute badges and 6 unit awards) and his Form DD214 (record of service we all get when we leave active service), all of which is public record someplace – US National Archives, to satisfy the comments about proof. Where is this requirement for other military personnel biographies?

I have absolutely no idea how to receive any reply you may send. Meyerj (talk) 15:55, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Your request for adminship was unsuccessful

I am sorry to inform you that I have closed your RfA as unsuccessful. I hope you are not too disheartened and will take onboard the concerns raised by those opposing and will consider running again in the future when you feel you have addressed them. Best wishes, WjBscribe 23:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

A bit of a belated response by myself. I think those RfA thanks spam runs are a waste, so I will not employ them. Regardless, I am very grateful to everyone who supported me and to others for their constructive criticism. I am not surprised I failed. It was as much an experiment in wether an experienced user like me with a rather limited interest in doing admin work could get the tools as much as it was genuine interest by me to be able to more easily do the edits that I do. I know many people will want me to "learn" and then try again "real soon", but I don't think that is realistically going to happen. I have been asked to participate in AfD and to analyze and study CSD, but I really just do not care about those things. If that prevents me from becoming an admin, then so be it. Still, I enjoyed being there and trying the process. Thanks again to all those who participated and happy editing to all. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 12:42, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Fonts and superscript

Just a reminder, in case it falls off VPT before you can get back to it, Improving appearance of Wikipedia articles.... You seem to be our only current hope of this moving forward ;) -- Quiddity (talk) 23:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I'm neither a css-expert nor a wikicode maintainer nor an admin. I was just following this particular problem, and I try to nudge solutions along when I can ;) I guess it'd be best to re-raise the issue at VPT, and/or at MediaWiki talk:Common.css or similar?

My only question would be, have you tested it using a variety of fonts (particularly using any fonts that emphasize the original problem)? Screenshots of before&after might help too (I can whip some up tomorrow, if you don't beforehand).

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Prologo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Prologo.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 04:59, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

TEST - Speedy deletion of Portal:Some page - TEST

A tag has been placed on Portal:Some page, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. —Random832 14:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Per this, the discussion is good, but I could easily forsee everyone pasting their new ideas to the thread with included examples. I simply meant, the examples should be linked to, not included, as AzaTht, AlexSm, and myself have gone through a dozen revisions in the last 2 hours (over IRC) and having them all on that thread would be spammy.

No problem. Compared to the "actor"-version, I made one small change where I set the background to "inherit". This means it should now inherit the value instead of forcing one.

AfD nomination of January 2008 stock market volatility

An editor has nominated January 2008 stock market volatility, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/January 2008 stock market volatility (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks for the prompt reply. That pageview code is now history. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 20:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Cmbox double border lines

Hi the DJ. Based on your -1px suggestion at Template talk:Cmbox#Double border lines I did some more testing with the code for {{cmbox}}. And I think I came up with a pretty decent improvement. Take a look at that talk page. Thanks for pointing out that -1px can be used.

Bug 13 of Twinkle

Hi, it seems you recently ran into a known bug (#13) with Twinkle. This is the problem diff. In the interest of further tracking this issue, could you report what browser (version) you are using ? (Also, do you remember seeing an error, or having "slow/unstable" internetconnection that day?) Hopefully that will help is in finding the cause. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 17:57, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

• Im using Firefox 3 beta 5 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9b5) Gecko/2008032620 Firefox/3.0b5) / JRE 1.6.0, including the Adblock and NoScript addons (NoScript is disabled for Wikipedia). I have had some slow internet today, but that was before the bug snuck in. Perhaps it is unrelated, but i found that i tagged an incorrect article and closed the twinkle window while the tag was still in progress, causing a short display of Error 0. This error occurs more often, almost always when you try to click twinkle away when it seems to stall/ fail to tag. 9.9 out of 10 times this does not create any complication other then not tagging a page.

Status switcher

Hey TheDJ, I recently tried to install your status switcher, and ran into problems after bypassing my cache. Now, as long as I am logged in (and thus, the script is run), every time I try to view a page anywhere on Wikipedia, immediately after the page loads and displays, Internet Explorer complains about not being able to display the page, and it goes blank with a "page cannot be displayed" error. As a result, I can't do *anything* when I'm logged in. The browser I am using is IE 6, and I cannot turn off Javascript to temporarily get around this problem since I can't access the "Internet options" menu (I am accessing Wikipedia from a public library computer, and permissions are ...restrictive). If need be, you can send me an email to confirm that I really was the one who posted this message. Any help? —User:Dinoguy1000 as 66.116.2.79 (talk) 19:55, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

For anyone reading this now, the IP address above really was me, and the issue has been resolved (see also User talk:Dinoguy1000#Monobook issue). I hope TheDJ can get it working on IE, I'd really like a fast and simple status changer! =D —Dinoguy1000 16:13, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

geonotice

While you are at it. Can you fix geonotice in MediaWiki:Common.js/watchlist.js to use importScriptURI ? --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 23:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I can't tell if it would work right or not if we used importScriptURI because whenever I try to access the script, it just shows a blank page. I've left a note on its author's talk page asking if this could be done. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 01:23, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I added some more source information and used the Hubble Licensing. I hope that is enough to prevent deletion? --Pacifier (talk) 11:19, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
