Hi,Thanks for leaving a message on my talk page about ]. I do want to note, that I disagree with your actions, because the bot hadn't edited in 2 days. Don't worry about unblocking it though, I came back just a while ago and at this point in time it seems as though wiki has changed for the worse. I will be retiring myself as well as retiring the bot. This isn't because of your actions alone, this is just everything combined which has been a pretty bad experience since coming back. Again thanks for your comment on my talk page, and I hope you have a wonderful day. ] (]) 02:26, 17 January 2013 (UTC) |

Wonder Woman/GA2
Hi Nyttend. I probably should have left a better edit summary or a hidden message. I cleared the deletion with the other contributor if that helps. Given the blatent abuse (creating a sockpuppet to pass an article you nominated at GA) I thought deleting the whole thing would be best and left a comment at Misplaced Pages talk:Good article nominations#Wonder Woman GA2 saying as much. Is there another speedy criteria that applies or will it have to go through an WP:mfd? I have seen less abusive sockpuppet reviews deleted before using WP:Deny as a reason, so maybe there can be a case here. AIRcorn (talk) 14:05, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Layout for Historic Districts
Greetings from Charleston, South Carolina! Thanks for your message in response to my formatting problems. I've been fishing around for some input, but I haven't had anyone firmly stake out a position on this yet. My neighborhood (Hampton Park Terrace) is on the National Register with about 200 buildings in it. The actual article on the neighborhood itself is just about one screen long, and I feel like a comprehensive gallery of all of the buildings at the bottom of the page would overwhelm the actual article itself from a layout position.
So, I started fooling around with collapsible galleries. I like the idea myself, but I haven't seen anyone else use one. I've gotten some feedback that materials should be opened as a default. Others have questioned whether that will bog down older computers. Others (me included) don't know whether a closed gallery loads any faster than an open gallery.
I also have been sitting on the fence about tables vs. galleries. It seems that MOST collections of NR historic districts use tables, but I'm not keen on that. I just don't like the massive amounts of white space that result. The situation would even be worse for Hampton Park Terrace since the district was nominated purely for its dense collection of homogenous early 20th architecture. There are no individual house names, for example, and there is not much text about each one. Galleries cannot be sorted, of course, but the more I think about it, the less I feel like that is really a very useful funciton. I mean, you could sort by address and date, but I really don't see people doing that very much.
Lastly, I'm wrestling with organizing things street-by-street or comprehensively. I'm can go back and forth on this. I kind of like the street-by-street idea. Hampton Park Terrace is not SO big that a comprehensive gallery would be unuseable, but it would be a lot to take in. And, I know that there are other very large districts that a street-by-street (or style-by-style or decade-by-decade) organization would be helpful inbreaking up massive amounts of info. To the extent, I end up using tables, I don't think there is much reason to do this. But, since galleries cannot be sorted, street-by-street galleries would essentially mimic at least one (of the two?) variables that a person might want to sort by, that is, address.
Any thoughts on all of this?
I'm sort of playing around with this on my Sandbox, here User:ProfReader/sandbox.
- I like the tables that you linked to a lot. I think the Vinegar Hill layout looks the best for my purposes, but I'm going to tweak some of the widths a bit. The one thing that I have no idea about is the use of color in the tables. I think I'm going to add a column to designate buildings as either Contributing or Non-contributing. Right now, I have that information (for non-contributing) in the Notes column of the mock-up tables that I was playing with. But, by breaking it out, it eats up a little more of the white space on the table and improves the functionality of the sorting by style. Here's my problem: I've never used colors in the table before, and I'm not sure how to do that. I see on yours that there seem to be some hidden code for what "Contributing Color" and "Notable Color" and things like that mean. I don't see where those terms are defined anywhere on your entries, so I assume there must be some master list somewhere that the coding just picks up on. But, where? If there is a National Register Project standard color scheme to designate the Contributing/Non-contributing status, I'd like to use it, but I have no idea where to go to find that color scheme laid out. Any advice?ProfReader (talk) 14:51, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Refund/merge
Here's my point. Let's take a hypothetical. The AFD for article x is 99 "delete" vs. 1 "merge to y". Article is deleted. Editor then requests refund of x, which is granted. Editor merges content to "y". Now, because of licensing issues, he argues that we have to keep the history of "x" available. Editor has now successfully bypassed the AFD result without going to DRV. The only method of preventing that is to not refund material if the intent is to merge it.—Kww(talk) 14:37, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

First division new name K League Classic and Second division new name K League.. - Hypeo is don't used. So new category is needed. I created Category South Korea Professinal Football League, like Category:Japan Professional Football League In Korean Misplaced Pages, New category is creatd. "대한민국 프로 축구 리그" This is same meaning "South Korea Professinal Football League"
Why don't delete Category:Japan Professional Football League? Why only attack Category:South Korea Professinal Football League?
Do you check up my contributions? I am korean and I am a big fan of korean football. Do you think that I vandal on wikepedia page about korean football. I am very busy person but I really love korean football so I contributed on korean football page in wikepedia. You are foreigner and you don't know south korean football status. Why interrupt contributions about korean football?
Think as if you were in my place. Can you write korea? Can you edit korean wikepedia and debate with koreans. Can you do cotributo to korean football on korean or english wikepida. You are native english speaker. But English is not my mother tongue. So I can't explain in detail and can't debate English speaker. But I have accurate information about south korean football than any foreingers. So..Please please beleive me. Category K-League is not needed anymore and have to change.
I am very busy person and editing is just hobby. I give up contribution because of you. Keep wrong Category K-League forever on wikepdia. Congratulaions! You win...... Footwiks (talk)

German Colored Tail Owl
Hallo Nyttend,
you regretted to delete German Colored Tail Owl and redirected it to Königsberg Coloured Head Tumbler. The redirect results from a very bad translation. As you may see Owl pigeons and Tumbler pigeons are two totally different groups of pigeon breeds. The redirect is misleading. I am not able to find a better fitting one. The breed of the Old German Owl has varieties with colored tail feathers, but I have never heard of a German Colored Tail Owl (or a Template:Lang-de). Please delete the redirect. Best regards --PigeonIP (talk) 12:40, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Category:LGBT Scientists
You denied the speedy of it here, saying that it is "Obviously not a repost, and the contents are different as well". How is it not a repost when it was discussed and deleted here? The description "This category lists scientists who are, or are known to have been, gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender." does not address any of the problems that caused it to be deleted, either. Nymf talk to me 18:43, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers for the reply. I have to ask, how do you know that the contents are different now? While it is by all means a good faith creation, I believe the problems that was raised previously still exists. The criteria for inclusion is still only that you have to be a scientist and LGBT, and the majority seems to be just that. I will bring it to CFD instead. Nymf talk to me 20:00, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

License tag
Either revert your edit at File:Camp 7, Guantanamo, via google -a.jpg or add a required license tag to this image. You have removed the deletion tag twice now without addressing its concern at all. Fair use rationale templates do not constitute as license tags, and your application of WP:BURO to copyright-related content is beyond misguided. — ξ 00:55, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- "Do not follow an overly strict interpretation of the letter of policy without consideration for the principles of policies". The purpose of copyright tags is to identify the copyright status of a file. Since pages only qualify for F4 speedy if they "lack the necessary licensing information to verify copyright status", and since "Administrators should check the upload summary, file information page, and the image itself for a source before deleting under this criterion", this image does not qualify under F4 and shouldn't be tagged as if it does, since an admin who follows the criterion's instructions will easily be able to verify copyright status. Nyttend (talk) 02:29, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- I find it hilariously ironic that you cite a policy to refute another, especially with one like BURO. Clearly, the image use policy should be followed strictly as it deals with a serious matter like copyright and fair use laws. What exactly would be the point of non-free license tags if fair use rationale templates were enough? Honestly. That makes absolutely no sense. If you have no plans to revert yourself or to add a license tag, I will request more eyes on the matter over at WP:ANI. — ξ 23:20, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- The point of these templates is to make it easier for people and bots who work with these images: people who aren't familiar enough with them to understand the licensing situation and bots that don't know how to read. Would you give me equal complaints if I removed such a template from an image whose description page contained the text "cc-by-sa" without a template? Or what about an image that had a source statement in the metadata but not on the description page? Also, you may want to go to the US Code, which makes no such requirements; this use of this image is equally fair or not-fair regardless of the presence of a simple fair use template or rationale, and because we only use them because of internal policies, it's absurd to be bureaucratic about it. It would be appreciated if you decided not to press charges against me for removing an speedy deletion template on a page that doesn't qualify for it, or spend a few minutes figuring out which one is appropriate (time that I don't have; there are too many different nonfree templates for me to keep track of them), or even just wait a few days, and the image will be deleted at FFD. Nyttend (talk) 23:35, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
- The image currently violates WP:NFCC#10b, which requires a licence tag for non-free images. Free images might not need a licence tag (if the licence information still is available somewhere), but it's still better to have a tag. However, the image is currently up for deletion at WP:FFD, and it seems more sensible to let the discussion end there before trying to apply speedy deletion criteria. --Stefan2 (talk) 20:47, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- You may have noticed that I already voted in the FFD, and all that I've done was removing a speedy deletion tag that didn't apply; I'm not arguing that it passes every point on a checklist. Nyttend (talk) 21:13, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
- The image currently violates WP:NFCC#10b, which requires a licence tag for non-free images.

- The point of these templates is to make it easier for people and bots who work with these images: people who aren't familiar enough with them to understand the licensing situation and bots that don't know how to read. Would you give me equal complaints if I removed such a template from an image whose description page contained the text "cc-by-sa" without a template? Or what about an image that had a source statement in the metadata but not on the description page? Also, you may want to go to the US Code, which makes no such requirements; this use of this image is equally fair or not-fair regardless of the presence of a simple fair use template or rationale, and because we only use them because of internal policies, it's absurd to be bureaucratic about it. It would be appreciated if you decided not to press charges against me for removing an speedy deletion template on a page that doesn't qualify for it, or spend a few minutes figuring out which one is appropriate (time that I don't have; there are too many different nonfree templates for me to keep track of them), or even just wait a few days, and the image will be deleted at FFD.

- I find it hilariously ironic that you cite a policy to refute another, especially with one like BURO. Clearly, the image use policy should be followed strictly as it deals with a serious matter like copyright and fair use laws. What exactly would be the point of non-free license tags if fair use rationale templates were enough? Honestly. That makes absolutely no sense. If you have no plans to revert yourself or to add a license tag, I will request more eyes on the matter over at WP:ANI. — ξ 23:20, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Help with User:Eduscapes
ttend, I need your help with User:Eduscapes. She is a college professor and a librarian, and has a history group interested in contributing to Misplaced Pages. Unfortunately she is in Utah, where we do NOT have a WP:GLAM satellite. Could you please contact her and get her on foot? —Ahnoneemoos (talk) 03:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)
Thank you
For your post here...the conspiracy enthusiasts have been posting repeatedly at that page & at its Article Feedback since the article was created. Shearonink (talk) 19:17, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi! With this edit, you restored the Category:Indian Hindus on the above page. Isn't there a rule for cited self-identification for such categories to be added on biography pages? Regards, Lovy Singhal (talk) 18:11, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
DYK for Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Mound
On 14 January 2013, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Mound, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a prehistoric mound is located on the U.S. Air Force's Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Wright-Patterson Air Force Base Mound. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

NRIS NRHP header
Hi Nyttend, I noticed this edit. Every header that used to have a reference in the old style list still has that in the new system, it was converted. That's why there is a NRISref field in there. What you know did is just broken. What I would suggest is to add a default if NRISref is not set. Multichill (talk) 07:21, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- Reverted. Now I'm confused; see National Register of Historic Places listings in McCracken County, Kentucky, where I added <ref name=nris /> and get a big "Cite error" warning. Why is it doing that if the reference is still there; and more importantly, why do our lists only cite NPS for the recent listings link (This National Park Service list is complete...) if that reference is still there? Nyttend (talk) 13:00, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
- I hope to take a look at it later this week. Let's see if I can get this to work in a sandbox. Multichill (talk) 21:44, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Z Densetsu: Owarinaki Kakumei
Hi! Could you look at it: Template:Did you know nominations/Z Densetsu: Owarinaki Kakumei. I added a sentence about transformation belts. Sorry for the delay,. I explained it there. I searched the net, but I didn't find any general sentences, so I could write anything meaningful. Since Anosola seemed to be knowledgeable about the subject, I wanted him to write a couple of sentences. --Moscow Connection (talk) 16:04, 16 January 2013 (UTC)
CrimsonBot
Hi,Thanks for leaving a message on my talk page about User:CrimsonBot. I do want to note, that I disagree with your actions, because the bot hadn't edited in 2 days. Don't worry about unblocking it though, I came back just a while ago and at this point in time it seems as though wiki has changed for the worse. I will be retiring myself as well as retiring the bot. This isn't because of your actions alone, this is just everything combined which has been a pretty bad experience since coming back. Again thanks for your comment on my talk page, and I hope you have a wonderful day. CrimsonBlue (talk) 02:26, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
