New letters?

Now what? All the letters suddenly changed to an other type. Have I pressed some button and not noticing it? Is it only me or everybody? I don't like this new style. It is too small and it makes me tired. I actually dislike this very much. Want the old style back, was much much less difficult to read . Notice that when leaving a message is the old style. Hafspajen (talk) 19:31, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• News to me too, Hafspajen. I'm just a peon, no one asks me for my opinion. Drmies (talk) 19:45, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
  • It's a new thing they've done Misplaced Pages-wide (or at least for everyone who uses the Vector skin; I use Monobook, myself, which was unchanged). To get the old appearance back, put:

@media screen
div#content h1, div#content h2, div#content #firstHeading {
        font-family: sans-serif;
}

into your vector.css page, creating it if necessary. (Thanks for the code, Jackmcbarn!) Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 19:48, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Note that won't undo everything. It just uses the old font in headers again. Jackmcbarn (talk) 19:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• What do I use? What is "monobook"? What is this vector thing? Oh, to be young again, before Al Gore invented the internet. Drmies (talk) 20:32, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• Hafspajen, see "typography refresh". Drmies (talk) 19:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I will, because this new style is irritating. Not wide enough, to sharp, to thin, and it takes much more energy to read and concentrate. This not helpfull, no improvment att all, on the contrary. (sorry nothing personal) Hafspajen (talk) 19:52, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

I can tell you that my letters don't look like this at all, not the old or the new. https://www.mediawiki.org/File:OSXChrome_typography_refresh.png The font new looks like a bunch of insects creeping around. Hafspajen (talk) 20:09, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

NOW YOU ARE ASKED, MIES, IT IS VOTING GOING ON HERE TO GET BACK THE OLD FONT Misplaced Pages:Village pump (technical)Hafspajen (talk) 20:25, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Canvassing! Jeez. Writ Keeper ⚇♔ 20:26, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

(edit conflict)No I am not. I am not telling you what to do. Mies said he was not asked. I tell him he is asked, now. And if you have too high morals I can tell you that there are pretty many people there complaining. One more or less... Don't want Mies should feel he can't say a thing. By the way my head hurts from this new font, eh. Hafspajen (talk) 21:10, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

There's a benefit of serifs if you want to spell correctly. Anything that lets you tell capital I (9th letter of the alphabet) from lower-case l (12th letter), is a winner, in my view. Otherwise you might need to cut-and-paste from WP into a text editor to tell which is which. In this very sentence, you can't tell the difference between the two (eyes versus ells), since this sentence is presented as body text on the talk page. Body text is not yet reformed, it seems. In section headers you can now tell the two letters apart. EdJohnston (talk) 20:55, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Well said Ed. The worst aspect of wiki typeface for me. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:16, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• Drmies, I like serif fonts too, but clearly this is yet another WMF cock-up. (The Signpost says it was intended to improve readability - obviously it fails dismally in that regard.) In any case, I can't imagine why any of you use Vector, which hides everything I need when I'm on my laptop and can't get tildes or input 4-number codes for alt. chars. And looks sucky, too. Go to Preferences, hit Appearance, and switch back to MonoBook. I'd recommend that course of action at Village Pump (technical), but if that recommendation receives too much publicity they'll just take MonoBook away like they took a couple of other skins away, and are intent on taking our talk pages away and replacing them with some Facebook/Yahoo chaos. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:17, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• I always chuckle when I see someone saying "they didn't consult me", because they've been testing different iterations of this for over half a year, and over 8000 users on the English Misplaced Pages alone signed up for the beta version... Ed  21:26, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Ha! You're right! There's a "Beta" thing on top of this page, Ed! Actually, I selected that on my mobile device, where I didn't see any difference. Ed, you have to understand, dude, I don't know what it means. I'm going to reread this entire thread tonight, with a pipe and a snifter of brandy. Then I am going to look up "monobook" and "vector" and see if I can understand it. Then I am going to try and do what Writ Keeper jotted down and see what it means to me. But first there's dinner, dishes, baths, teeth brushing, reading, cleaning up kids' room, putting baby to bed, clean kitchen, and prep for work tomorrow. Drmies (talk) 23:19, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
    • You're fine, Drmies! The difference between Monobook and Vector is how the webpage looks to you. De.wikipedia still uses Monobook. If you're logged out, you'll see that. Then contrast it with the English Misplaced Pages while logged out. That's Vector. :-) Monobook was the English Misplaced Pages's default skin up to 2009 or so. Good luck with the chores and kid! Ed  03:42, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
      • Thanks Ed; I actually managed to figure some of that out myself. Actually, when I go IP slumming things look different--for instance, lines in the edit screen are double-spaced (my socks have the same problem). Chores are done, kids are in bed, yet again--until the next time. Drmies (talk) 02:00, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
• The text size and line height increased. Before, I constantly had to increase the font size to read. I can read Misplaced Pages much better now. Bgwhite (talk) 21:40, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

That is happy news. I feel just the opposite, for some reason. Hafspajen (talk) 22:07, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Hafspajen, if there is any consolation, it's that it could have been worse. I was using the typography refresh beta option until they decided that all pages should only be 750px wide (some number in the 700s, can't remember the exact number). One half of my web browser was white space. I'm praying to any deity I can think for this not to happen permanently. Bgwhite (talk) 22:40, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

Bless you my child. Hafspajen (talk) 22:45, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• (Answering question above what vector, what mono) Mies, where is your little window with Search - is it to your left, (under the Main page, current events, Random article and so on) if you are on a talk page? If it is to the left, you are using Preferences Mono.. . If it is above to your right, you are using preferences Vector. In this case you will notice that your letters became smaller, thinner and .. well you know. If not, check out a page on commons. Any page. They use this new font for letters already. This is the way it looks like like for half or more of the wiki right now. Hafspajen (talk) 23:34, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

.Or simply look here, whatewer you use - you will see see here how it looks like for most people now.

Went back to mono, by the way. Hafspajen (talk) 23:38, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• So, MonoBook and all those things are names of "skins". I got it. Yngvadottir, that MonoBook looks familiar. I probably had that at some point. But this Vector has all the buttons in familiar places, and I'd rather have a bunch of those admin things as pull-down menus than as separate little tabs. I wish I could have a serif font, though. Haf, for me these letters are too skinny. Drmies (talk) 01:10, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

• Well, Mies, that was exactly what I was talking about in the last five hours. It makes you feel like if you would see blue dogs, when they looked just fine before. Hafspajen (talk) 01:24, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

• Don't exaggerate. It's just a dog in a blue sweater. FWIW, I didn't see no dogs at all, just little sticks. Oh, I tried Writ Keeper's magic code. Didn't do anything. Drmies (talk) 01:29, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, same here. No difference. Hafspajen (talk) 01:33, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

sv-WP

I noticed that you had been blocked on sv-WP, which is one of the most provincial WPs around, as you undoubtedly have noticed (Swedish word of the day: "inkrökt"). Now you know why I'm not active there. Thomas.W 20:40, 3 April 2014 (UTC) (I'm back, yet not back, because WP will be on the back burner for the foreseeable future...)

• Thomas, I didn't even get angry since I was already unblocked by the time I noticed, so I am not too upset about it. There was some back-and-forthing over that block, and the treatment of Hafspajen--well, I suppose they can run things the way they want to, that's their right. The results are clear: their editors come over here, and I for one am very appreciative of that, haha, since they're a welcome addition to the team. I don't have much to contribute anyway since I can't write Swedish worth a damn, and yes, "provincial" is the proper way to describe it--but to each his own. I'm just kind of saddened about this attitude; I'd love for all of us to get along a little bit better. But again, the end result is that we have pretty decent coverage of Swedish topics, given how few Swedes we have here; the ones that we have are good, and have made cross-cultural friendships. DYK that Hafspajen and I wrote up a Danish topic? Danish? Now how is that for cross-boundary cooperation? Anyway, thanks for your note. I hope we'll see you around more often--and good luck with your exam/wedding/pregnancy/new house/potty training/driver's license/fishing expedition or whatever is occupying you in real life. Drmies (talk) 23:13, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
• I don't know, Mies if you noticed that our other article we did (Gardens of N) got hit on DYK like 16490 times or so. (18,615 hits between Apr 1, 2014 – Apr 3, 2014 ) - Big time. Hafspajen (talk) 23:50, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Well, the blocking admin resigned about 48 hours after the block: m:Steward_requests/Permissions/2014-03#MagnusA.40svwiki They even blocked sv:User:Translation Notification Bot. But sadly, as messed up as enwiki can be, it's actually fairly well run compared to a lot of other wikis... --Rschen7754 23:31, 3 April 2014 (UTC)
    • But Rschen, I don't want anyone to resign. Just to play nice. Drmies (talk) 00:08, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
      • Yeah... it's astounding that Wikimedia hasn't fallen apart yet. --Rschen7754 03:57, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
        • (A minor Scandinavian question)- were 18th century Norwegian-Swedish bibles printed in some variant of Fraktur font? I was perusing one yesterday- I thought at first it was German- notes in the front (which gave me an approximate date) were written by someone called Olaf Andersen- or was it some obscure Schleswig-Holstein dialect? Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 08:44, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Swedish bibles were printed in Fraktur during the 18th century, as can be seen from this image, and the same goes AFAIK for Danish-Norwegian bibles. Thomas.W 09:04, 4 April 2014 (UTC)-

• Thanks very much! I'm familiar (sort of) with the Geneva and King James blackletters- though I still manage to confuse them- this was a new one to me. I hear the German Misplaced Pages is going to use a Comic Sans version of Sutterlin.Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 09:17, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

• Oh, don't confuse those, Xanthomelanoussprog. The Puritans will have your head for it. It's funny, given the ubiquitous presence of the King James in the US (God spoke King James English, in case you didn't know), that those early Pilgrims had a very different bible since, ahem, they were trying to get away from said James. (Few people here realize that, in my experience.) Drmies (talk) 00:20, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

• I've noticed the same, the King James version is called the "original" by a particular subset of society. Then again, most pictures of him make him look more like a European rock star than a Jewish carpenter. Can we tag America with an {{original research}} tag? Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 00:34, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

• I've got a KJV of 1625, in which certain inhabitants of Seagrave have written their names (and household accounts). Some of them are buried in the churchyard I put them there- I hate people who use yellow underliner in books. Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 11:30, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Black edit summary

Your "bwaa ha ha" edit summary was entirely inappropriate. You are a middle-aged man, not a 12 year old boy, edit summaries are not for taking potshots at others for their off-wiki comments (which is what I assume this was about). It's a BLP of a public figure — and a prominent WP critic, which you might have noted if you didn't delete the article link — and when you're writing shit like "I'm going to delete this article one comma at a time" and get the subject worked up about the motivations of the anonymous admin with a machete, that's well over the line. It's a sensitive bio, that stuff shouldn't be happening. If you've got something to say to me about my off wiki comments, welcome to my user talk, or send me an email (my email addie is posted on my user page), or sign in and go after me off wiki. Any of those things are fine. No links here to keep the drama down, if you think I'm being too oblique I will happily provide a diff. best regards, —Tim /// Carrite (talk) 22:46, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• Oh, I know exactly what you're talking about, and you don't have to provide them with a diff, since I'm sure it's already been mulled over. It's a "sensitive" bio only because a couple of agitators made it one, and I don't give a flying fuck for what they think. You should know, as someone who used to be a good editor, that the criticism on "that" website of my editing the article is a bunch of crap. "Oh he must hate the guy". "Oh why doesn't he work on another article". "Oh it must be because he has a personal ax(e) to grind". Yeah, I'm a paid IBM operative trying to whitewash the company record.

  It seems that you're suggesting that the subject in question is in contact with you and some of those "others", and that's an interesting thought, one which we'll not pursue any further today. If those others could find it in their hearts and their gullets to attempt to edit constructively, or at least criticize constructively, without outing, insulting, and invading the privacy of editors they don't like, it would be a different matter. But I'll take the "middle-aged man" thing as a compliment, since I don't really can't put much stock in anything else you say. I like the gift as I like the giver, and I don't like the company you keep, or the fact that you seem to chime in with their choir. If the choir shuts up, then I have no quarrel. (There's a few there with half a conscience or more, and they know who they are, and I respect them and their opinion.) Thank you, Drmies (talk) 23:05, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

• Tim, I don't go after anyone. Drmies (talk) 23:06, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

To be absolutely clear, and to repeat what I've said before off-wiki which you may have missed — YES, he is in contact with me, adhering to Jimmy Wales' Bright Line like a disciple. That's how Wales' goofy doofy concept is supposed to work. People, particularly controversial public figures, have not only a right to monitor their own WP biographies — they would be completely foolish not to. If something goes haywire: I hear about it. If there's a new book out: I hear about it. If anything was wrong while I was rewriting it, factually wrong, I was corrected on it. Nobody told me what to write, but trust me that what I did write was carefully vetted. I'm pleased that you don't "go after" anyone. That has not been fully obvious to me and I will Assume Good Faith. Carrite (talk) 16:29, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

P.S. I'm still a "good Wikipedian." Please never forget. Carrite (talk) 16:38, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

You'll pardon me for being a little irked after reading all that crap about me, and those pretty desperate attempts to blacken my character. That's what bothers me about that company. I assume you have watched some of my edits, and you should know that, for instance, I rarely leave long, long lists of publications intact unless these are publications that have some proven notability, proven by reviews or so. I've edited articles on people that I actually know, and have pruned them the same way that I prune other articles: you are welcome to check my record, if you haven't already done so. Your subject is more than welcome to drop me a line; let there be no suggestion that they wouldn't know how to do that. And I don't know all the things you said off-wiki: I really have no interest in figuring out what other people say elsewhere. I am not a regular reader of Wikipediocracy or Misplaced Pages Review, and don't read it at all unless someone points me to something. Andreas has, for instance, and I'll follow those suggestions. Another kind and unfortunately banned soul pointed out "my" thread to me, and I read it without pleasure. I know that Afadsbad comments on that website, but that has no bearing on for instance the recent ANI thread about them, even though I vaguely remember disagreeing vehemently with something they said (don't even remember what it was). As for "good", you'll recall that I supported your RfA, perhaps. Anyway, if it wasn't clear, I got nothing against your subject or what they wrote about, but that company over there doesn't care for what I say or do, only for what they think they can deduct. Drmies (talk) 16:54, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Okay, well we'll just agree to differ then. Randy from Boise (talk) 05:43, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Just letting you know something new has come up. —Ryūlóng (琉竜) 06:40, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Children?

Drmies, you are the baby-expert. What am I supposed to do with an user who is six years old editing banking? Hafspajen (talk) 14:57, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Hwo knows... Any Korean page stalkers? Can anyone check if this museum really changed its name or it is just a joke? Or some missunderstanding. Hafspajen (talk) 19:00, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

• The website refers to Hansol Museum on one of its pages and SAN on the main page- I'm guessing that it has changed its name to SAN, and the website hasn't been completely updated. That long long list of "projects" doesn't look too notable- more like a builder's order book (c.f. Zaha Hadid's page- she's the architect who designed a stadium looking like a ) Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 22:07, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

AZ-Benfica

Hi there MIES, AL "here",

oddly enough, you were rooting for the "Portuguese" team, i was rooting for the Dutch team. Benfica played with TWO Portuguese players (one thing that utterly disgusts me in the football in my country, must be an agents and/or presidents "thing", i've seen teams in DIV3 with 15 foreign players - and i'm not the racist over here, i don't mind teams having 8-10 imports, the managers and those who back them up are, saying to a national player "fuck off", then bringing a foreign player of equal or inferior quality just because!). In a "funny" story, Rúben Amorim, one of two national players in Benfica, seriously injured himself; all said, i was careful enough not to say the match result, even though i think you know it by now.

In another horrible result for me, F.C. Porto beat Sevilla FC, the latter finished the game with MORE Portuguese players on the pitch than the former!!

P.S. This time no prima-donna attitude, it's solved as i've "trained my brain" into it for quite some time: am leaving for good as soon as the whistle blows to end the 2014 FIFA World Cup, had a good eight-year run and met some marvellous people, but 1 - have had it up to here (well you can see me, but i'm signalling the top of my head :)); 2 - sick and tired of the vandals; 3 - this is a neverending task, sometimes people die/retire from their field of expertise and their articles continue to be updated/vandalized; 4 - can't seem to meet most of the WP guidelines, not saying it's a terrible thing, just saying.

Kindest regards, whistle if you need anything in these three months --AL (talk) 17:42, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

assistance

Could you take a look at my post on ANI Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Similar_case, and the ongoing discussion at Talk:Firewall_(physics)#Quantum_theory.2C_by_Winterberg. I am at a loss of how to stop this guy from attacking me and the others who he thinks are in a WP:CABAL against him. The pages are already semid, and hes editing at the IP of a major university, so blocking him could cause a big disruption for the other students and staff. I suppose we could semi the talk page too, but I haven't seen that done often. Gaijin42 (talk) 20:09, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

• Not much I can do right except for blocking the most recent IP. A range block is an option, as is semi-protecting the talk pages. On the black hole talk page it's been going on a while, and I want to say RBI, but semi-protection is valid at this point. Consider looking through to see if there is a master account and maybe start an SPI? I know, that doesn't do much either, but a paper trail is always nice. Drmies (talk) 20:20, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
• I semi-protected both talk pages for a week. Keep me posted please. Drmies (talk) 20:21, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Bacon jams deletion

I was looking into Prodding The bacon jams. I fear if I did this, that your bacon cabal would wield their power and force me out of Misplaced Pages. Do you or one of your bacon cohorts want to determine if a Prod is necessary and place the Prod? If it is too difficult for you, I can do it. Bgwhite (talk) 04:49, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

• 'preciate the note, Bgwhite. We should call in the de facto head ham of the bacon project, Kelapstick. Neither he nor I wrote the article, so chances are it's neither good nor funny. I found nothing remotely interesting, tasty, or notable about the article, though being funded by Kickstarter usually means instant notability. Then again, if anyone can turn bacon into a GA, it's Cirt. Drmies (talk) 05:17, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
  • Prodded. Beware of the evil talkpage stalkers. Bishonen | talk 07:00, 5 April 2014 (UTC).
    • Bishonen, I hate to see the hail and brimstone that befalls you. You Prodded without approval from Kelapstick and the rest of the bacon cabal. It is probably for the best as it would be to difficult and traumatic for one of them to do it. Bgwhite (talk) 07:05, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I foresee ending up on AfD in the bloody bacon battle of the century. Why do I do these things to myself? Because Twinkle makes prod beguilingly easy? Yes. Bishonen | talk 07:12, 5 April 2014 (UTC).
        • I'd love to help out in a collaborative effort with somebody else, but I've got a lot of other quality improvement projects going on these days related to freedom of speech and censorship. — Cirt (talk) 09:03, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
          • Those aren't really different topics though; freedom of speech is central to any bacon-centred philosophy. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 09:58, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
            • Keep Obviously notable and I like it. Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 10:12, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

To answer Bishonen's rhetorical PROD question, we don't need it any times at all, neither in Bacon jam nor separately. Joint is simply not notable. A mention in an article in het lokale sufferdje (can you translate that, Yngvadottir?) do not add up to notability, usually. Drmies (talk) 15:41, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Look, let's not pig out here, I don't want to go into a whole hog AfD. I wasn't planning on chewing the fat on this one, but it looks like I have address these Pork barrel articles. My first question is there a reason that {{db-corp}} is not applicable? Is mention in a local (Philadelphia) food and restaurant website an indication of importance? My judgement is obscured by my view of the prairies. There is so much to see, nothing is in the way, here is an example of the landscape __________ . My first instinct is to remove the PROD per WP:BACON, but I may have a COI. --kelapstick 13:06, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

• I contributed a small additional reference and some further info from one of the existing ones. However, searching more widely led me (via this) to Cronut®, whose title is remarkable. I will hold off on moving it to plain old Cronut in case there's been a policy change I've missed. Or in case someone else is hungrier for the ... glory than I am.

  • Being the power hungry fella that I am, I moved it, not because of policy, but because ® looks stupid. I have also removed all the places it showed up from the body of the article. I did read on the news ticker on whatever news program was on this morning (I can't remember exactly, but cut me some slack, it was 4:30 am) that they were closed because of a mouse infestation. --kelapstick 15:20, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

      • I left a note for the trademark-contributing editor. FYI, the MOS policy is at MOS:TMRULES. Thanks for moving it, K-stick; that was the proper thing to do. Drmies (talk) 15:34, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Ahem, anyone noticed the article Bacon jam? Hafspajen (talk) 15:54, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Notice it? Ahem, take a look at the history, Hafspajen. Bishonen | talk 16:30, 5 April 2014 (UTC).

I only like very crispy, almost burned, bacon -- I've noticed they don't make a crispy variety of bacon jam, so you can delete all bacon jam. Dougweller (talk) 15:57, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Being a bacon connoisseur, I prepare bacon in a number of fashions. Crispy for sandwiches, slow smoked over hickory coals for horderves, medium pot cooked for a ham-like flavor perfect as a main dish, diced and fast fried for Texas style fried rice (with scallions), etc. I've yet to try chocolate covered bacon but I want to.

HHuh. Bacon and ice-cream with picles? Hafspajen (talk) 16:12, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Dennis, I am shocked that you haven't tried chocolate-covered. I have made it at least twice, the last time I did I sprinkled maple bacon sea salt on top. It was great. As I explained to Drmies once before, all you need is to get some Baker's Chocolate (I prefer semi-sweet) to coat it with, it is all too simple. I may pour it over next time rather than completely coating it, leaving a higher bacon:chocolate ratio. --kelapstick 16:14, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Ah, yes, Chocolate-covered bacon. A DYK from 2009, from the good old days, K-stick, when CoM was spurring us on every second. Glad to see my ganache-covered bacon is still in there. Word to the wise: don't use ganache. Drmies (talk) 18:11, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

They sell it at fairs and festivals here, but I just haven't been at the right place at the right time. The wife and I honestly fry up blocks of bacon softly and keep in the fridge, to quick microwave and use as garnish for sandiches, a quick meal, etc. There is always cooked and raw bacon in the fridge. I don't eat tons of it at a time, but I eat it different ways almost daily....Hmmm, that's weird, why is my left arm numb?... Dennis Brown | 2¢ | WER 16:17, 5 April 2014 (UTC)

Just go slow on the Viagra, Dennis. We do want to retain you. Drmies (talk) 18:13, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
