[edit] Article on Illinois State

Hello, I applaud your taking the time to edit the layout of the article to conform to the guidelines of city articles. I wonder why in doing so you did not improve the article by making the lead more concise. Is this something you are intending? The lead seems to go into details that could be moved to the body of the article.--Never give up! Never surrender! (talk) 03:52, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, thanks! I noticed that also about the lead paragraph, but didn't have the time to rewrite it. Any help is always appreciated! --Funandtrvl (talk) 04:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Your template edits

Hi, thanks for all your work updating banners and their documentation. But could you be a little more careful before making changes to the configuration of these banners, because some of them have been discussed at length in the past in order to find what the WikiProject actually wants. Your change to Template:WP Banksia for example, made significant changes which altered the behaviour of the banner. To be clear, no one could argue that correctly setting the ASSESSMENT_LINK or substcheck parameters could be controversial. That's routine maintenance to bring banners up to date. However we need to be careful when adding the full quality scale, for example, because we might not know what the project thinks about this. Anyway no big deal, and thanks again for your work. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 16:02, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Template talk:Infobox Company/Archive 7 edit

Hi, I'm not sure why you refactored this talk archive into archive 6. Archives which are too long are harder to navigate on slow browsers or Internet connections. Is there a particular reason for doing so? Thanks. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 17:41, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

I've adjusted the archive size down to 150k, from the normal 256k used for archive pages. I also use a dial-up connection several times a week and have not had any problems with reading 100-150k. Because archive #6 had only 32k in it, that is why the portion of archive #7 was combined with it. As I have experienced no problems with 100-150k on a dial-up, if someone is still having problems, they must not have a very powerful computer and certainly, they must be experiencing problems accessing any website, these days. --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:58, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Infobox WikiProject

Hi. We had a couple of edit conflicts while both working on that template. I hope that I didn't step on your toes there. I also hope that my explanation and solution makes sense. If not, feel free to discuss it more. We should probably use the {{In use}} template to help avoid future edit conflicts:

<noinclude>{{In use}} (Brief description of work) --~~~~
</noinclude>...

It can get kind of hairy and it's bad for the server when two people try to edit a commonly used template at the same time. Sorry about that. Have a good day! --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 21:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

No problem. Templating has kind of become my specialty here, mostly due to lots of trial and error and practice. Sometimes it's terribly frustrating. I used to spend hours trying to track down one missing brace or pound sign or an unescaped pipe symbol in table that was breaking things. Usually that kind of problem I can spot pretty quickly now, but the more complex the template, the worse it is to debug. If you ever need help with templates, feel free to ask me directly. :-) --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 21:12, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Please read my latest comments on the template talk page. I haven't tried the blank problem you mentioned, but I will do so now. Please try not to make any edits for a bit on it. I'm trying to work with you here. I don't want an admin (or anyone else, including you) to think that we are in an edit war. We aren't. We are just trying to accomplish the same goal, but flip-flopping our edits across each other, and that's not helping. Ok? --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 00:00, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

It seems fixed. 300px seems really big. Look at the Wikipedia logo at that size.

The Help:Images page recommends only 150px for the largest size. This matches what I'd read before for a recommended maximum size for people using mobile browsers and slow dial-up connections. Think we should set it to 150px instead? Editors can always choose to go larger using the imagesize parameter if they feel they must.

As far as removing bodystyle altogether, I don't think that's a good idea. It's designed for raw CSS code. You can try using that to override the width, and as long as you use "!important" with the width, there's a decent chance it might actually work. I don't think we should eliminate the ability to customize the CSS, nor do I think we should encourage people to try to override default settings. I put just enough info into the template instructions to maybe help people figure out how to do so, but not so much that they are likely to do it willy nilly without understanding the consequences (I hope). :-) Please try testing it out some more. Thanks for the sandbox example. It was helpful in testing. --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 01:05, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok. I'll do that right now, unless I see you added an In Use tag. --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 01:22, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: edit conflict - Thanks to your warning on my talk page I was able to catch it before committing my changes, thus no conflict. :-)

I hate it when two similar templates (in this case {{Infobox WikiProject}} and {{Project information}}) offer the same parameters, yet implement them completely differently. Argh! In {{Infobox WikiProject}}, the order of the userboxes is important, because each one tacks on a different prefix to the page (dumb, in my opinion). In {{Project information}}, there are the same three parameters, but they work as I would expect: allowing people to include up to three different userboxes and relying upon the editors to include the full path to the template. So it doubles my work to try to make the two templates compatible (I like compatability!). Going to be testing that now. I hope it's okay to keep using your sandbox. :-) --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 02:12, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

no problem, I didn't even realize there is another template for you to fix!! --Funandtrvl (talk) 02:19, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok. Done with my tweaking for now. How do you like it? I don't think it will break any current implementations, though I am going to go through the linked pages and verify that no infoboxes got horribly broken as a result. --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 03:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

it looks good, thanks for your work and expertise! --Funandtrvl (talk) 03:04, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out the lack of documentation for 'notice-extended'. I fixed that and did some more tweaking. I looked through about 100 different WikiProjects that used that template, and I discovered that people weren't very consistent in how they filled in parameters, so I tried to make the template smarter. It seems to cover pretty much every variation that editors seem to throw at it now. :-) It's a pain to support a) new features without breaking hundreds of older implementations, b) people who don't follow directions and do it their own way, and c) decisions reached by consensus in the past that don't seem to follow current methodologies (again without breaking them when you switch to the new defaults). It's kind of like a puzzle--a real challenge. But it was fun, too. Thanks for inspiring me! If you have anything else to suggest or fix, let me know. Have a good weekend. --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 08:58, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for all the cleanup on Template:Infobox WikiProject/doc. I'd swear that some of those mistakes were not in there when I finished editing, but I guess I was more tired than I thought. Good teamwork. :-) --Willscrlt (→“¡¿Talk?!”) 21:17, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] note on the {{Project information}} template

The Project information is designed as a part of a whole set of boxes that are designed to work together. It is used on the side panel of the various food and drink projects, the law project and some others. The {{Infobox WikiProject}} is an unrelated stand alone. --Jeremy (blah blah) 18:01, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Hi!

I don't understand this edition. Could you kindly explain me? Thanks. --Againme (talk) 18:12, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

It's just to populate the 'Automatically assessed' category from the WikiProject, using a bot. I think the article needs to be added to and improved in order not to be considered a stub article. --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:15, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Ohh... I thought that was about the tag being included by a bot or by a person... --Againme (talk) 19:02, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Portals

Thanks for the userbox work relating to Portals. :) Cirt (talk) 18:02, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome, just trying to cleanup, when I found the 2nd userbox out there, not categorized to the project! --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:04, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] MiszaBot's code

Please note that MiszaBot's code needs to be on separate lines to properly function. Make sure not to combine it onto a single line such as [1]. cheers, –xeno ^talk 22:36, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know, I also fixed the counter error, hopefully, it'll work now. --Funandtrvl (talk) 04:36, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dichotomies

I'm looking for opinions about whether certain articles should be in Category:Dichotomies. You have contributed on Category talk:Dichotomies, so perhaps you would like to view the current discussion and add your thoughts. Thanks. Johnuniq (talk) 03:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! --Funandtrvl (talk) 16:33, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Food and Drink Categories

Please stop. You are changing stuff and messing up the structure of the Food and Drink Category system that I have been fixing for the past month. --Jeremy (blah blah) 05:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to be so blunt, I wasn't trying to be rude, just get your attention. Thank you for the offer of help.

With the category system for food and drink I am arranging the categories so that we are not dealing with over-categorization. If you see any redlinks in the category system, that just means I have not gotten to that yet. We have made some moves over the past year, converting dead Projects to Taskforces, but we missed the categories and many legacy categories are left over such as the ones you were moving things into. (eg Category:WikiProject Cheeses which should have been replaced with Category:Cheeses Taskforce)

Also, I have come across several categorization notes that are good to know: There are several system symbols that Wikipedia used to denote projects (ω), templates (τ), stubs (μ) and Wiki-Reader (ρ), which you changed or just appended on to the entries. Also, the wikimedia software does not recognize anything after the first character in the name used, in other words [[Category:Foo|Example]] is treated the same way as [[Category:Foo|E]].

Again I apologize for the abruptness of my first note, I hope you don't hold it against me.--Jeremy (blah blah) 06:26, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

The F&D Project is very complicated in its structure, here it is: WP:Food (parent)

→ WP:Cheeses (TF)

→ WP:Herbs (TF)

→ WP:Foodservice (TF)

→ WP:Wine (Child WP)

→ WP:Beer (Child WP)

→ WP:Pubs (Beer TF)

→ WP:Mixed Drinks (Child)

→ WP:Bartending (Mix drinks Child WP)

→ WP:Ice Cream (Child WP, possibly dead)

I have checked the other projects' categories and they all seem to be in proper order. My major project right now is recategorizing all of the Food and Drink templates which is turning into a major job. The Drink side is done, but the Food side is a complete mess. There are so many templates that have yet to be classified it is taking some time to get them all together. In the past week I have found almost 300 user templates that have never been classified and still need to be tagged. 8-P --Jeremy (blah blah) 06:56, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

		You can't have cookies without milk!

[edit] Category structure for food

Hey, I just want you to know that with almost all of the portals, projects and taskforces that the categories they sit in are already a subset of the main WikiProject Food and Drink category. Basically it is a pyramid of categories with the Food and Drink cat at the Apex. You don't need to add the Food and Drink cat to those child pages because their individual cat is already part of the parent cat. --Jeremy (blah blah) 19:35, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re: WP:VANDAL

Heh, I was just in the process of pinging them when I got your message. To be fair, I think they've got a point - but the article should be created first. It's a major page, and should be as straightforward as possible. Cheers, This flag once was red^propaganda_deeds 22:41, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SPIRITS

The project is fairly recent, less than six months old. It just hasn't been fully integrated yet. --Jeremy (blah blah) 03:51, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey, just wanted to drop by and say thanks for the work you're doing to WP:SPIRITS -- Cabe6403 ^{(Talk•Sign)} 02:07, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Revert

The parent cat of Category:Drink templates is a sub cat of Category:Food and drink templates which is in included in Category:Society and social science templates. How ever If you wish to cross reference it with Category:Society and social science infobox templates do so. I did not see the whole name you had put when I reverted. --Jeremy (blah blah) 05:22, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] {{WikiProject Food and drink}}

Thanks for the changes. However, the task forces do not have their own assessments - they use the parent projects assessments. --Jeremy (blah blah) 18:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Mayhaps it is a left over from when they were independent projects. The pages may still be left over from when they had their own assessments. --Jeremy (blah blah) 20:56, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

It happened when I edited the documentation page to reflect the changes to the template and display all of the various options. I have tried to fix it but have not been able to get it to display right. Maybe taking the small options out may work, but that sort of defeats the purpose of the page. Also on AbQ, I edited the documentation to clarify the behavioral issues you are asking about. You will have to edit the specific style sheet that defines the toc style for that to work. --Jeremy (blah blah) 16:53, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] May 23

The Wine project never signed off the usage of the {{WikiProject Food and drink}} template on articles. Until they say yes. It has to stay under the do not use area. --Jeremy (blah blah) 02:36, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Also, on drink related pages, if you hit them with the project tag, please use {{WikiProject Food and drink|drink=yes}} to assign it drink oriented information such as the Drink Portal. --Jeremy (blah blah) 07:43, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] May 27

I have gone through the template and added all missing instances of the missing various additional tags and added them in. There is still allot more to do and I will be working on it tomorrow. --Jeremy (blah blah) 19:05, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Dichotomies2

A week ago I invited you to consider a disagreement regarding whether certain articles should be in Category:Dichotomies, and you kindly visited the talk page. I can see now that the discussion lacked focus and you would have needed an hour to work out what it was all about. It would be great if you would visit Category talk:Dichotomies#Examples where I have listed 24 articles in the Dichotomies category, and comment on some of them: yes certain articles should be in the category, or no certain articles should not be in the category. I would recommend just listing some article numbers and saying what you think about them, but of course if you want to make comments on each individual article that would be good too. Thanks.

[edit] Marsiglia 1807

Hello, may I ask one thing first of all excuse my English, I am an Italian citizen, I live in the province of Bari doing research on some of my relatives emigrated to the United States of America they lived in Addison, but after contacting the Joint communiqué ce years I have moved elsewhere. I want to know if the county of Du Page County has records of birth marriage and death of the village of Addison, because 'I would like to know the various dates concerning my relatives. I am Italian could send me the certificates including payment. Hello, answer. Greetings from Italy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsiglia 1807 (talk • contribs) 10:38, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for having responded I would ask for the certificates as I can get the money to Du Page County Clerk. In your opinion can be sent out even if I am not an American citizen. Answer and sorry for disturbing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Marsiglia 1807 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] WP:Wine assessment page

Thanks for the heads up. I created one at Wikipedia:WikiProject Wine/Assessment, I just used the Wikipedia:WikiProject Food and drink/Assessment page as a template. --Jeremy (blah blah) 01:00, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] {{Project information}}

I fixed the category issue in the template, just was a typo from when I created it oh so long ago...

--Jeremy (blah blah) 02:20, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] {{Numbered subpages}}

According to Happy-melon the template parser functions cannot be modified to allow variables such as picture length etc. The solution? {{25 Numbered subpages}} & {{75 Numbered subpages}}. Kludgy, but workable. --Jeremy (blah blah) 07:01, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] {{WikiProject Mixed Drinks}}

The focus=bar is a leftover from the pre-{{WPBannerMeta}} template, those should all be changed to bar=yes. That would be a good bot task. --Jeremy (blah blah) 08:49, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] {{Food assessments}}

Those are ghosts in the machine, they do not exist - I checked. I went through and removed all instances of the template before I put the {{speedy}} on it. For some reason any page that had the template transcluded is still registering as linking to the page.

Look for yourself, do a search on the pages and see. --Jeremy (blah blah) 20:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] {{WikiProject Mixed Drinks}} pt. 2

I figured out how to create a pass through for the various fields. You will need to ad the following switches to accommodate the task forces:

 |ATTENTION_CAT    = {{#switch:yes
                       |{{{bar|}}}  = Bartending articles needing attention
                       |Mixed drinks articles needing attention}}

 |INFOBOX_CAT      = {{#switch:yes
                       |{{{bar|}}}  = Bartending articles needing infobox
                       |Mixed drinks articles needing infobox}}

 |COMMENTS_CAT     = {{#switch:yes
                       |{{{bar|}}}  = Bartending articles with comments
                       |Mixed drinks articles with comments}}

 |NOTE_1_CAT       = {{#switch:yes
                       |{{{bar|}}}  = Wikipedia requested photographs of bartending
                                      -or- Bartending articles needing photos
                       |Wikipedia requested photographs of mixed drinks
                        -or- Mixed drinks needing photos (depends on cat)

As you can see I used the Mixed Drinks Project as an example, but this can be done on any WPBannerMeta template.

[edit] {{Bartending-stub}}

This is the stub for the bartending article. It was deleted some time ago. I have asked the deleting admin to restore it.--Jeremy (blah blah) 08:43, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] deleting stuff

Hello: The reason the delete was declined earlier was that the redirect was hanging around for a long time. If it is there for a long time it is likely to end up in article histories (in this case project page or template histories). When you attempt a non controversial speedy delete, you will need to provide a justification as to why it is non controversial, because it is not always obvious, and the administrator has to check for edit warring and vandalism. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 22:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Redirect of Intertropical Convergence Zone yesterday

Was a six month window for comments on the ITCZ talk page not enough? I'm surprised it wasn't. Thegreatdr (talk) 15:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

That's not the point, it's a controversial move and should have been handled as much. Besides, it needs its own article anyways, just because it needs to be updated or expanded to explain the differences between it and MT, doesn't mean it should be redirected. After all, NOAA has a whole page on it, why shouldn't W? --Funandtrvl (talk) 16:52, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

After exploring the situation more, I think they do need to remain separate. If there had only been feedback with the ITCZ talk page, the redirect could have been avoided. The SPCZ article is already cross referenced with both ITCZ and monsoon trough (looks like I did so 2 1/2 years ago when I expanded out the SPCZ article initially). I've added a wikilink for monsoon trough into the lead of the ITCZ article, and added a section concerning the different names for certain ITCZ portions into the ITCZ article.

[edit] Convert template on AF447

FYI a lot of the units in miles (abbrev mi) are actually nautical miles, which is a significantly different unit and is flagged as "nmi" to the convert template. This diff might put a bit of context around which are actually in nautical miles. Thanks/wangi (talk) 21:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, can you fix that for me? I was intending to ck the measurements with the sources, but hadn't gotten to it yet. I see someone caught it already! --Funandtrvl (talk) 21:36, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to, but lacking enough time just now to do it right. I noticed the issue earlier today with that IP's edit and actually started them but a load of real life got in the way. Could you flag up the issue on the article talk page so hopefully somebody could pick it up? Thanks/wangi (talk) 21:40, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Gardening

Hi Funandtrvl, I saw some of your edits in the gardening portal, and thought you might be interested in contributing to a gardening wiki project (outside of wikipedia). It uses the same mediawiki script, but the goal is to have every single garden plant in the world, with articles focusing solely on the gardeners perspective and how to grow it. In other words, description, zones, sun/water requirements, cultivation, propagation, cultivars, pests/diseases, anything else relevant, and of course photos. A huge undertaking that is already pretty substantial in size, but which needs tons of help with additional information, categorization, text cleanup, etc. Wikipedia of course is not a how-to, so you can't actually go into detail on how to grow the plant, but http://www.plants.am is there exactly for that. Anyway, if you have any questions, let me know, but I really hope I'll see you over there too! --RaffiKojian (talk) 02:49, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Would you be interested in it? MBisanz ^talk 23:15, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for thinking of me, I really appreciate it; however, at this time, I may not have the personal time that is truly required to devote to the Wikipedia project, as one would expect an adminstrator to do. Secondly, I haven't had a chance to thoroughly review the complete set of WP policies and guidelines or previous cases of RfA's that were successful and not. --Funandtrvl (talk) 17:02, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Okey, I understand. Thanks for all your work and if your mind ever changes, ping me. MBisanz ^talk 17:05, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Cat class

Hi, did you know that {{cat class}} automatically adds the categories, so your edit here was unnecessary?

PS, regarding the above, I would likely support you in the future as well but I don't think you've been actively editing for a full year yet, and you've probably got more things to learn. So I think you made the right decision to decline at this time :) — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 09:18, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

You're quite right, I got it completely the wrong way round. I feel a bit stupid now. Anyway, keep up the good work; it's good to have you around. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:02, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Travel literature

wow great work here. Thanks so much StarM 02:56, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

 :) You made me feel less guilty about not having done what I intended since I watchlisted it forever and a day ago. Did indeed have a good 4th - escaped the City for a bit, which is always wonderful. You? StarM 03:43, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem!! You know I'm not a lover of the 4th holiday, my neighbors were setting off firecrackers (really big ones that could qualify for the Capitol 4th) that kept me up until 3am, and they're still blowing them up today too! So, I'm still catching up on my sleep, and I think it's safe to venture outside now w/o risk of a firecracker whizzing by!! :) --Funandtrvl (talk) 03:48, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh yuck! I was in Rochester, New York and timing worked out as I saw the weekly High Falls fireworks, followed by those set off by the city and ultimately the ones at the Rochester Red Wings game, which I attended. I imagine if I'd been home, NYC, I'd have had some od the same fireworks issues you mention. Hope you catch up on sleep soon! StarM 12:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Non-article Canada-related pages

C3 was not the correct tag simply because the template in the category was a legitimate one and the category was legitimately empty. I looked into a bit more and realised there is no chance of the category ever being re-populated so I deleted it under housekeeping. Regards, Woody (talk) 19:13, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

{{db-empty}} or {{db-housekeeping}} with a quick statement saying that the cat is a remnant of category change and is surplus to requirements. Regards, Woody (talk) 19:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
