If you're here to respond to a comment I posted on your talk page, feel free to reply on your talk page so the question and answer are together. I tend to watch talk pages I've posted comments to for a few weeks after my initial post. If you leave me a message, I'll respond here unless you ask me to reply somewhere else. --Risker (talk) 00:15, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Beware! This user's talk page is monitored by talk page watchers. Some of them even talk back.

Useful things for me to remember or I will never find them again, plus archive links

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Column-generating template families

The templates listed here are not interchangeable. For example, using {{col-float}} with {{col-end}} instead of {{col-float-end}} would leave a <div>...</div> open, potentially harming any subsequent formatting.

Column templates
Type Family Handles wiki
table code? Responsive/
mobile suited Start template Column divider End template

Float "col-float" Yes Yes {{col-float}} {{col-float-break}} {{col-float-end}}

"columns-start" Yes Yes {{columns-start}} {{column}} {{columns-end}}

Columns "div col" Yes Yes {{div col}} – {{div col end}}

"columns-list" No Yes {{columns-list}} (wraps div col) – –

Flexbox "flex columns" No Yes {{flex columns}} – –

Table "col" Yes No {{col-begin}},
{{col-begin-fixed}} or
{{col-begin-small}} {{col-break}} or
{{col-2}} .. {{col-5}} {{col-end}}

Can template handle the basic wiki markup {| | || |- |} used to create tables? If not, special templates that produce these elements (such as {{(!}}, {{!}}, {{!!}}, {{!-}}, {{!)}})—or HTML tags (<table>...</table>, <tr>...</tr>, etc.)—need to be used instead.

My talk page is also my "to-do" list

No really, I do read all my messages in a timely manner. I also archive fairly regularly once the subject of the message has been resolved. I keep things on my talk page until they've been addressed, so stuff tends to be out of date order. Consider the top half of this page my to-do list. Some things just take time.

Ping

Oh hullo. I have emailed the mailing list at arbcom-llists.wikimedia.org. (You don't have a listed email at the page Misplaced Pages:Arbitration Committee). The message awaits moderator approval. My apologies for forgetting the password on the other one. --OSPAWAPOSP II (talk) 22:01, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I think we received it, but I will check again when I am at my other workstation. You can also email me by clicking "email this user" from this page. Risker (talk) 18:54, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi OSPAWPOSP, I have reviewed the archives, and I don't believe we did receive your email. I have responded here but will also leave a message on this page. I am going to be away for a bit, so please don't email me. Instead, go to User:Arbitration Committee and click on "email this user" on the left side of the page. You'll get an email screen, and when you click send, it will go directly to the Arbitration Committee email address. We don't want to miss hearing about your concern. Risker (talk) 04:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Both out of sincere gratitude and my love of self-referential humor: thank you for you self-labeled "Pollyanna" post. I too agree that these sorts of events expose ways our system can (and will) be improved, and I'm glad that optimism is shared by someone who knows Misplaced Pages well. --Alecmconroy (talk) 06:28, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, also, for trying to calm the storm. –xeno 18:29, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, both of you, for dropping by. It's reassuring to know that every once in a while somebody hears my voice in the wilderness. :-) Risker (talk) 18:57, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Just a note

take a moment to recognise another editor who's made a difference today, or perhaps made a thought-provoking comment. You do some damn fine work around here. It's a pleasure and an honor to have met you. All my best. — Ched : ? 20:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

diff ;) — Ched : ? 20:24, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Ched, your kind words mean a lot to me, and I appreciate that you've picked up the torch and run with it. Good on you. :-) Risker (talk) 04:26, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Break
A former arbitrator told me once that too much dispute resolution was soul-destroying. I'm going to be spending a short time clearing off my real-world desks and replenishing my soul, soothing my hopeful heart. I'd started to this a few weeks ago and got rudely interrupted, so I'm going to try this again. It may take me a while to respond to any messages left here, and the same for any emails.

Any time for another article review?

I've just re-written space debris and I was wondering if I might get your eyes on it? It's long... Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:18, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I heard a rumor that some folks like hats ...

Some people need "hats" for what they do. Putting out fires can be difficult

As you may have missed your big opportunity... I award you cupcakes anyway!!! You deserve them - for all you do, for all you endure. KillerChihuahuaAdvice 23:25, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Cupcakes on one side of the page, beefcake on the other. What more could a girl ask for? Thanks to both of you! Risker (talk) 04:23, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Cupcakes???

Sneaks in looking to get a snack Oh hi, Risker! Enjoying your break? :) SirFozzie (talk) 04:27, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Leave my cupcakes alone, SirFozzie. And, so far, it hasn't been much of a break. I step away for a minute and, well... Risker (talk) 04:31, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
