Teika formatting

Remember Fujiwara no Teika? Well, I'm trying to get those nice little boxes you set up to be in the center instead of left-aligning (I've asked around, and people find center aligning better, apparently), but I can't figure out how- the relevant code already says "center". --maru (talk) contribs 05:57, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Aye aye, done. :) --Cat out 08:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Template:Nihongo

What damage are we taling about? --Cat out 23:49, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I think all articles in question should be modified to be more compatible with my change. Taking care of repetive usage is the point of templates. --Cat out 23:51, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

It's late, I'll explain tomorrow. Basically all the articles used the template with "it is known as !"$%£ in Japanese" and you changed it to "it is known as Japanese:!"$%£ in Japanese". Yeah. Highway 23:51, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I see. Still I think "it is known in japanese" is unnecesary. We can just use the format I came up with. --Cat out 23:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Your change does not work into good English. It is very difficult to make a defunct label work into context. And it isn't your template, all edits are equal. Highway 23:53, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I am going to fucking sleep. I will deal with this tomorrow. Please leave it until I can sort this out. Highway 23:53, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

There is no one forcing you to respond immidiately. When I post on a talk page I expect people to respond at the most convinient time to them. Please be civil.

My change works fine with english. I have been using that syntax on a very large number of articles. Take a look at List of Oh My Goddess episodes and all linked episode pages (aside from ovas).

Any template I create or make significant change becomes "my template" in a conversation for easy referance. Saying "my" is much more conviniant than repetively typing out the templats name. This doesnt mean I own them of course.

Fine, I'm sorry it was 1am and I was tired. Is there any way we can come to a compromise? Could we have to separate templates? It's just completely fecked up articles that use paragraphs. Highway 10:55, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, we can rewrite every paragraph to make them better. I vote for that option. All I want is whats best for wikipedia. The syntax I propose has been the standard I observed.

We do not have to follow either suggestion. I just feel a sentence is redundent when its talking about the japanese meaning in a lenghty tone which could also be achieved with one word: (Japanese: )

--Cat out 14:16, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

All that does is trap editors into having rewrite a sentence a particular way because of it. Now you can have Japanese shoved at the front of another template, but please at least leave one that still functions fine alone to at least preserve the thousands of articles it would damage. Highway 14:19, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Ok, lets get one thing straight. I am not trying to disrupt wikipedia nor trapping anyone. Your hostile attitide is starting to bother me.

It is possible to rewrite the 'thousands of articles' with a bot in a few seconds so thats not an issue either. So there is no damage.

So what is the issue, that I dont understand.

I also do not see a single article my modification "breaks" --Cat out 15:41, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

User:Heja helweda

I think you have had some experience with this user adding information that is not properly sourced. I would appreciate it if you could have a look at Talk:History_of_the_Kurds#Zoroaster_and_Yazidis where he is trying to add this rather large paragraph based on this article on "findarticles.com" which in my opinion is not academic at all, article is full of "I think"s and the author has made up conclusions which I think should not be put on Misplaced Pages.

Perhaps I am wrong here, but I read that Jimbo insists that for anything disputable there has to be SOLID and VERIFABLE sources, not what "Sheikh Dawresh Kalesh" (Google search = 0) would say and how the author has claimed that it is infact, true!..

Anyway you might also want to check out Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Cool_Cat.27s_disruption_of_Kurdish_categorization_efforts.

blocked

I have blocked you for 48 hours for violating the ArbCom ruling about disruptive edits in Kurd-related areas as brought up recently on AN/I. Take the time to cool off, and come back more receptive to community consensus please. -lethe 13:54, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Ban on kurd-related editing

As your mentor, I'm letting Lethe's block stand, and I'm taking the step of banning you from editing, creating or nominating for deletion any articles, categories or templates related to the kurds. This is for an initial period of one week to be extended indefinitely if the other two mentors agree.

This ban doesn't restrict your use of related talk pages. --Tony Sidaway 05:08, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
