Stretched table on the project page

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

The Project assessment table appears abnormally stretched in the project table for reasons I cannot find out from the code. Can someone help me find it?}} —Indian:BIO 05:51, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

he lost her but reverted all my edits & somehow that was everything

raise ur hands if you know about the 1989 secret messages. Evidently @Joseph Prasad: doesn’t think they exist.—♥ Kelvinsong talk 03:35, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Just because people know about it, does not mean it does not need to be sourced. Again, that would make it fan interpretation. -- Joseph Prasad (talk) 03:38, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

Kelvinsong, adding fancruft is against this encyclopedia's policies. Please stop edit warring Joseph Prasad on this. —Indian:BIO 05:03, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

I wasn’t edit warring? When I restored all the material @Joseph Prasad: removed, I put in like 4000 characters worth of references, which he just reverted. The only time I reverted without making any changes was to undo his revert bc it was on the basis that I didn’t cite anything which I in fact did if he bothered to read the diff…

Also secret messages are not fancruft—as has been addressed so many times, they are directly sourced from the album itself, and third party media outlets confirmed them. Not interpretations.—♥ Kelvinsong talk 14:25, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

IndianBio's comment was more of a general notice than anything else, Kelvin. Snuggums (talk / edits) 18:24, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

@Kelvinsong, Joseph Prasad, IndianBio, and SNUGGUMS: Oh my god, such idiots. "Fan interpretation". Yeah, right idiots. We have a reliable source here, and so stop quarreling. I'm adding that in with this source and bye. BTW it really is a secret message, holy hell. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs | guestbook) 09:29, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Question is File:TaylorSwiftWordmark2015.png actually PD-Textlogo? It’s not actually easily reproducible from the source font—♥ Kelvinsong talk 22:01, 15 March 2015 (UTC)

@Kelvinsong: Em, derived from TaylorSwift.com, as seen from the file description page?

Angels Smile

There is this song called "Angels Smile" created by Swifties, the fandom of Taylor Swift. I was just casually saying about creating an article of it on Twitter and the person who created the idea replied, asking if I had tried creating a Misplaced Pages article of the song. The song, as part of a project labelled "Swifties Charity Project" kicked off on October last year as part as a celebration to Taylor's birthday, stating Taylor as an inspiration to create this song, which took over 100 Swifties to make. The idea came from Twitter user (also a singer-songwriter known as Janey Quinn), whose profile is here, asked if I can create such an article. The many cons are that the song is not notable enough, it fails WP:NM and a piece of source came from BuzzFeed, but the whole thing was written by the user. Furthermore, the artist which is vaguely "Swifties", does not have an article on its own. It did not peak in charts, but peaked at iTunes charts (from the user's DM to me) that the song peaked at #6 in Vietnam. #40 in the Philippines, #65 in Thailand and #54 in United Kingdom. That's all. I thought that this idea is an interesting one, as all money collected will be donated to the Blood Cancer Research Foundation, but due to the lack of notability, I think the chances of having a lifespan for such an article would be close to zero. I think the idea is interesting as a whole, and the "reliable sources" thus can only be the Twitter users @JaneSwiftie and @SwiftiesCharity, as well as the Tumblr. I know that there is a high possibility that it will be rejected, but I'm trying to create such an article, not just for the sake of doing it, but for the sake of the fandom. I personally think this deserves an article, as such an unprecedented move should be noticed by the world. This isn't an advertisement, per WP:5. Thanks, Nahnah4 (talk | contribs | guestbook) 09:17, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

I think you've answered your own question: the song is not notable no matter which Misplaced Pages notability standard you check. Sources are strictly primary and have an inherent COI. An encyclopedia doesn't base its contents on emotional or personal feelings, but on basic standards for inclusion. As you describe it, the article will not survive here. If there's a Taylor Swift wikia somewhere, you might want to see about including it there. BlueMoonset (talk) 19:10, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

@BlueMoonset: Oh yeah, thanks! The Taylor Swift wikia! Prob gonna ask the guy who created this thing. Nahnah4 (talk | contribs | guestbook) 04:04, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Taylor's Feminism?

I was wondering if anyone had considered making a section for Taylor's feminist stance, since it is something she does promote and has developed as she has gotten older. Perhaps under her political views? She mentions it in quite a few interviews. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bnkelly333 (talk • contribs) 18:05, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
