A little help when your free....

Hey they. Good luck with your RfA, I put in a good word ;) What I really came here to say (before the RfA box at the top of this page so rudely interrupted) was I wondered if you could give me some help. I wondered if there was any way to add a link to this to say 'If you would like this page re-assessed, please click here!' This would then automatically either:

The prefered option Edit this page to request re assessment (A new section would need to be added, but I can sort it). Or...
Put the page into a new category 'BBC Wikiproject Requests' which would then have sub sections like Wikipedia:WikiProject BBC/Requests.

Thinking about it, this idea could be expanded to add requests for expansion as well. I am not asking you to code it, as I am sure it is alot of work, and I should probably speak to some fellow Project members before it is implemented, but if you could tell me if it is possible, it would be really helpful :) If you feel like playing about with the idea, feel free to leave any code on a sub page of mine, or you user pages, but I am not expecting you to make anything if your busy/don't want to :P Thanks again, Tiddly-Tom 10:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Any code that would "automatically" do this (e.g., load the data and save it for you like popups or TW does) would have to be a javascript code which I can't write and people would have to install for it to work anyway. On the other hand, I can write a link similar to the ones I did previously that opens a "Requested Assessments" section on the page for editing. People would then have to manually enter the information and save it themselves. It'd be the same deal with the category, only that would be a tad more difficult to manage simply because it's a talk page and subject to being screwed around with constantly. I could add a "review" parameter to the talk page header, where if it's set to 1 or something add the page to that category and adds a note in the template. Let me know if this is what you were looking for - it won't take me that long to implement any of it, I just need to know what to do. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:27, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining :) I have just got back from being out, and have thought about it. I think the simplest thing (and probably the best) might be to edit the header to say please add x template below this box to request re assessment. This would then put the page into a category. I am going to try to make this myself (I really want to try to make something my self :P) But if (when :P) it breaks, I will drop you a line if that is ok? Is there anyway for when a page is added into the category, I get a message (very similar to 'You have a new message' message) to tell me someone has added a request? And on the {{helpme}} template, what does this mean: *{{#if:{{{1|{{{helptext|}}}}}}||Ask your question below.}} You can look at the [[Help:Contents|Help Contents]], ask at the [[WP:HD|Help desk]], or [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tangotango/nubio/ search the FAQ].

Thanks for your help, Tiddly-Tom 19:26, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey. I have been having a play around, what do you think of this? I know I haven't set up the CAT but I think I can sort that when I decide to use it. What are you first impresions? Is there anything I can do to make it more prettyfull? (I used the colours I did as they are the same as the BBC) Thanks Again, Tiddly-Tom 20:04, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking good! Once you get the cat set up, it should be ready to use. :-) Unfortunately, there is no way to get a "new requests" bar as you're looking for - I'd love to have one myself for a few pages, but I just don't think they exist.

The code in the helpme template allows someone to add their question within the template using either parameter 1 or helptext. So, {{helpme|I need help}} and {{helpme|helptext=I need help}} would both produce the same thing. If that's not added, the template just says "Ask your question below" like it usually does.

Thanks for explaining. I guess you could probly make the box appear for new message thing if you changed something in your monobook (or one of the pages like it) but it would require some proper programing, and I know very little :P Is there any where I could find someone who is good at it? (I dont know what the programing lanuage used is...} Thanks again for your help.

If you woundant mind talking a look here you might recognise something :P Do you mind? I have given you credit :P Also can you make the words My Userboxes a diffrent colour? You will see I have put some code in that says red, but it has not turned red, any idea why? Thanks again, Tiddly-Tom 18:20, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Aww, thanks. Don't worry about leaving me alone, that's what I'm here for. If I ever really don't have time to help, I'll let you know. :-) Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 23:54, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

General RfA Comments

You're welcome for the support. :) I hope your next RfA passes. Just listen to what the opposition said, and return to RfA in three months or so. Acalamari 01:44, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Good luck in the future. Nick mallory 01:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Ditto. As I said in the RfA, I'm sure you'll be a shoo-in in a few months. Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 01:52, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

VanTucky ^(talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing! Good luck on any future RFA, and thanks for your courtesy!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

On this occasion, your request for adminship was not successful. I hope that you will continue your useful contributions to Wikipedia and may consider standing again in future. Remember, many of the editors who did object are just keen to see you gain some more experience. Warofdreams talk 02:38, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Just echoing what the others have said. You seem to be a fine Wikipedian, and I'm sorry I couldn't offer my support this time around. Assuming you keep up your for-the-most-part fine work, I look forward to supporting you in the future. Good luck! :) faithless (^speak) 02:45, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Echoing the others as well; while some RfAs I'm happy to oppose, I felt very bad opposing yours as you are a damn good editor — iridescent (talk to me!) 12:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I, too, felt bad on opposing your RfA, but I really do think you need a bit more time and experience to put yourself behind the scandal de Bertrand Russell. BTW, I happen to disagree with him on that book. At some point, you should get yourself some information about how Russell helped invent the computer -- he also co-authored the Principia Mathematica, which introduced Boolean Algebra to search engines. Please do not give up! Bearian 13:39, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

I was pretty much sure your RFA would succeed, too bad. You'll be a great admin someday, though! Cheers,Je t Lover (Report a mistake) 03:06, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

SVG Format

Hi Hersfold,

Image format policy lies in a dusty old rarely edited paragraph on Image use policy. (A curious place to locate such an important policy I think). It doesn't even have its own sub-heading, but rather falls under item 9 of the first section "Rules of Thumb". It says: "Use JPEG format for photographic images; SVG format for icons, logos, drawings, maps, flags, and such; PNG format for software screenshots and when only a raster image is available; GIF format for inline animations; and Ogg/Theora for video. Do not use Windows BMP format images." We may have a more exhaustive guide/list elsewhere but that is basically the jist of it. In short to summarise:

Photos: JPEG
Anything/Everything which can be done as a vector: SVG
Screenshots: PNG
Diagrams (and anything which can't be done as a vector): PNG
Animations: GIF

Although I do have to remind you that SVGs make my eyes want to bleed ;) Hope this helps, thanks for the kind comments. WikipedianProlific ^(Talk) 21:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem, oh he may also find graphics tutorials helpful, it has a fairly useful list of links. Now that you've brought it to my attention, we really should give format policy its own page. Perhaps I'll try to petition the artwork old guard to see if we can move it somewhere more sensible and expand on it. WikipedianProlific ^(Talk) 21:21, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:Thanks

You're very welcome! I hope you are successful next time. If you take on board the points raised by voters on this RfA, I'm sure you'll do much better next time around. Lra drama 08:41, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Bindows

Thanks for your quick reply. I read the consulting pages. The articles I submitted comply with all of them. My question is why do wiki editors systematically delete articles about Bindows, and any reference to Bindows in the "Ajax Framework" article?

Bindows is the pioneer Ajax framework, and one of the market leaders with thousands of users, worldwide. Bindows is an innovative, unique, and one of the richest and most complete Ajax frameworks. In addition it is the only framework with full support for accessibility for the visually impaired (Section-508 of the US law ) in Ajax environment. The link, a technical article, and a short description are being consistently deleted by you.

Not listing Bindows in an Ajax JavaScript article, while listing other frameworks (not as rich, less advanced, less popular, etc.) is misleading and discriminatory. All my requests for explanation have not been answered. You have my email and I welcome an explanation from you.

Please be consistent and fair: use the same standards - below is a list of similar products, listed in wikipedia, using similar type of content. Either delete those as well, or undelete Bindows.

jQuery, Prototype, Yahoo! UI Library, Dojo Toolkit, qooxdoo, Clean AJAX, Ext (javascript library), Spry framework, Script.aculo.us.

Wikiajax 01:04, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

The reason the references you were adding were being removed is because they were blatantly promotional. When you add content to Wikipedia, it needs to be completely neutral, not biased for or against the subject. The articles you referenced such as jQuery are neutral. If they mention the features of the product, it's not done in a way that could be seen as advertising. When you were adding references to Bindows, it sounded as though you were trying to convince people to use or buy the product. For example, here you kept talking about the accessibility of Bindows as though it were a new feature on a car you were buying (ok, maybe not, but that should help you get the idea). I know you provided a reference to your claims, but the reference you provided was directly related to Bindows. You need to find a source independent of Bindows, such as a news article or other form of Reliable Source that can attest to that information in a clearly unbiased manner so that it can be easily verified.

While we're on this subject, could I ask if you're in any way involved with the Bindows project? Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 01:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about creating that page. I'm somewhat new here, and I didn't realize I had created the page. Thanks for deleting it! --Jomskylark 15:47, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Cleaning out Category:Women in comics.

Re [1] re "middle" edit

I'm cleaning up from the end of the list, so I suggested anyone else start in the middle so there's no edit conflicts. The edit summary "I'" was me accidentally pressing Enter after ' because they're next to each other on my keyboard, I was going to write "I'm cleaning up from the end of the list". -- Jeandré, 2007-09-17t11:00z

GEORGE GREGORY BUTTIGIEG

Dear Hersfold I am new to Wiki and appreciate your offering to help when necessary. I put in the entry GEORGE GREGORY BUTTIGIEG and I cannot understand why it may be deleted as it is completely genuine. If photocopies, photos....are necessary please illuminate me as well as HOW to send them to Wiki. I appreciate your not cancelling the entry but I cannot bbegin to understand what it lacks for credibility. Guess I should have put nothing in!! Good luck in your studies. I am a univ. lecturer myself and I appreciate the effort you need. Regards and thanks again. CYRUS OF ANTIOCH

Sure, I'm glad to help. The concern expressed isn't that we don't believe you, it's more that someone doesn't believe Dr. Buttigieg is notable, which there could be some debate about. Since this is an encyclopedia, there are certain requirements people have to meet in order to have an article here. I think your article has met them, but someone else doesn't, which is why we're discussing the thing before simply deleting it. We do appreciate your contributions - please don't think you're not welcome here. This happens very frequently, however, and unfortunately it does tend to hit new contributors most often. If you ever need help with anything, please let me know - I'd be more than happy to explain uploading images to you at another time if you wish, but unfortunately I have to run right now. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 17:00, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to say thanks for the Edline correction. I was still trying to figure out where I was supposed to post the question when you got back to me... thank goodness for your quick eye! :) Michael 02:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. The Help Desk probably was the right place - the only other appropriate location I can think of would have been the article's talk page, but that probably wouldn't have gotten a response for several weeks, at best. I do agree, sometimes it is hard to figure out just where to go, but the Help Desk is a good default. If you're not in the right place, we'll tell you where to go from there. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 02:29, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Your speedy deletion tag on Glack GAC page.

Hi I just noticed your tag on the Glack GAC page. Just to let you know I added an argument against deletion on the talk page and I'd appreciate it of you reconsidered deleting it. Thanks. Derry Boi 22:38, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

I already have, it looks like you weren't done writing it yet. Sorry for the misunderstanding, but may I suggest in the future you write the article on a subpage and move it to the mainspace when it's ready to go? That gives you more time to fix typos and such before it goes up on search engines and the like as well. Good luck with the article, and happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 22:40, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

OK thanks for sorting that out. And thanks for the advice, I'll take it into consideration for future articles. Derry Boi 22:45, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

AfD Duplicate Mayhem

Nice job removing the duplicate entry on today's AfD. It's a pity, then, that the server let me remove the other one in such a way as to suggest that the one you'd removed was still there! Seems to all be fixed now, at least. Confusing Manifestation 04:57, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

No problem, sorry for the confusing lack of an edit conflict there. Quite odd. What I want to know is how we ended up with two entries in the first place. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 04:59, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, quite odd, that. I suspect that given the entry was moved in this diff, then a server hiccup similar to the one that hit us could explain the duplication. Still very, very odd. Confusing Manifestation 05:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:AFC

Thank you for taking care of the "mphaphuli cycad reserve" submission. Granted, it was submitted by the same IP that submitted the previous duplicate "Thathe Vondo Forest" item, (declined as highly POV - promotional tone) and while the reserve is verifiable, it doesn't seem at all notable, and I don't think that the precedence of "places are notable" extends to wildlife reserves or parks. I could find no WP:RS sources referring to it at all. Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for making the decision. ^Ariel♥Gold 15:20, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

It just sounded like an advert to me anyway. Including directions on how to get to location X isn't exactly encyclopedic. I'm sure we'll have an article on it eventually, as "places are notable" does (for better or, more often, worse) seem to be general consensus, but it's not getting created by me unless it's neutral. ;-) See you around AFC.

Enough for now. You've convinced me that you're willing to work on the article, but I think it still needs a bit more information about the school - right now it's acting as a bit of a coatrack. I'll check back in a couple days to see how it's going, but I've removed the prod template for now. Good luck with it, and happy editing. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 22:49, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Helpme response

The thing is, I am getting linked to their talkpage (they are in hertfordshire) everytime they vandalise wikipedia, even though I am always logged in when I edit, and the only IP's that relate to me are in london. Meateater 17:24, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not really sure why that's happening. Which IP address is this? Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 18:18, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Tove Jensen

He there, thanks for your input; however, having followed the link to the PDF, there's no indication of which court (if any) is being transcribed. So I tend to err on the cautious side, so I reverted. I asked him to hang fire at 18:11 while I put a helpme up. He reverted at 18:12, a little quick in my view. Any ideas? We still have no source for these transcripts. --Rodhullandemu 18:36, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Well.... having actually looked at the documents now (Sorry, I was just going off the discussion in my last reply), there's not really enough there to justify that it is public domain. However, since the text isn't being included in the article, it is somewhat irrelevant to argue the point of Public Domain or not. I do agree that the sources are of questionable reliability, though, and have marked it as such in the article. Hopefully someone will be able to provide some more reliable documents - with the amount of information blanked out, it's very hard to tell if the cited documents are genuine and could have easily been forged. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 18:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

My worries exactly; I've no doubt the editor is in good faith, but he seems keen to get this into the article. I'll keep a watch on the page. Thanks again. --Rodhullandemu 18:54, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure, glad to help. Let me know if you need me to swing by again. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 18:57, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

How absent minded I am...

I got another project heaped on me. By myself. This hit the front page of Digg too long ago, and I was delighted to find that the developer had made it an open source project.

After downloaded the source and peeking about for a bit, I decided that this was too complicated to do without some kind of chart. I thought back and remembered a piece freeware that was meant for this purpose, but I had never managed to install correctly.

As you can likely anticipate, I did find the freeware, I did download it, it did install correctly, and I happily began making my first cracks at a map for the program.

Zip forward two hours. I am sweaty, caffeine saturated, and totally engrossed in a map that now has maybe 200 different nodes. I take a break to change the music on iTunes, and while I'm switching between applications, I notice speedydeletiontable.ai sitting on my desktop.

I raced back to the chart maker and pulled up the export options. What options did I find? Image file, PDF, Postscript, SVG, Web page, and more.

Looking back now, I can't imagine what I was thinking in the first place. Adobe Illustrator? For a complex chart?

I've completed more in the past half hour than I have in one week with AI.

Problem though, I can't email you. I keep getting bounce backs whenever I hit reply. Do you have an email outside your current locations intranet?

Later, A ud a c i t o r^{(t $\bullet$ c)} 05:11, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

That's quite strange. You can try my Gmail account, which I'll email to you (don't really want it posted on Wikipedia, it's sort of an emergency account and the less spam the better).

I'm afraid I'm a bit in the dark as to your project - unless I missed something, you never actually specified what it was. Sounds interesting, though. I've been spending most of the day (from 1:30 PM to about 12:30 AM) fighting with my computer, Ubuntu to work on my system and agree to share the hard drive with Windows XP. So far I think I've at least got them all on speaking terms, however a friendship between the Ubuntu and the rest of the computer doesn't seem to be possible in the near future.

Good to hear you've made some progress, though - looking forward to taking a look at it. :-) Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 05:23, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
