Image CopyRight

Hey, I got an automated message from you about a picture I uploaded months ago... I have no idea where I got it, probably using google image. The thing is that as I just said, I have no idea on where it came from, so I have no copyrights to add to it, what should I do?

Some boxes "saved" by vote, others Speedy Deleted?

Hi. Thought I'd check in with you again. As per our nice Feb. 12 discussion re: the status of the Template:User_anti-fascism userbox, I see it just "survived" a keep/delete vote. Fine, but I'm a bit annoyed, not by the content (about which I could care less) but because the "pro" was deleted rather quickly, and the anti-Marxism boxes were deleted quickly. The pro-Marxist boxes...well, they never faced a TfD vote at all and survive intact. I'm detecting a rather one-sided and selective pattern of deletions here. Why is that? You said deletions were rather slow, but not slow enough to "save" selective boxes. I think I need more education on this topic to be better informed. Nhprman 03:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Ted Wilkes's contribution to the Jim Duffy article

Just for your information. To my mind, User:Ted Wilkes is frequently gaming the system. He did this several times in the past. Most people may remember his mud-throwing campaign against arbcom member Fred Bauder. There is much evidence that he is identical with multi-hardbanned User:DW. For a summary of facts supporting this view, see [2]. Wilkes was blocked for one week by administrator Jtdirl. His contribution to the Jim Duffy article seems to be his personal reaction.

TfD

...debates last 7 days rather than AfD's 5, remember. You seem to have closed some of Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 March 4 nearly 24 hours early. Thanks. -User:Splash^talk 19:30, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, they were me. I just couldn't stay logged in for some reason. Well, 11 March hasn't finished yet, so the very last TfDs probably still shouldn't be closed. I would think that using the UTC timestamp is the way it's always done, so I think some of them were closed a few hours early, but some of them basically an entire day ahead of schedule. E.g. the one at the top of the list shouldn't have been closed until a time in the vicinity of 23:54 UTC on 11th March - about 50 minutes' from now. A few hours is no big deal, but nearly 24 hours is a little too much probably. -Splash^talk 23:10, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

NCAA Tourneys

These edits represent a first cut at tournament pages, and my main goal in creating them was to get something online before the (presumable) rush of people visiting the

. I'll try to switch over to your templates in the near future, but as I mentioned before, flexibility is the main issue. I don't know if the wiki template syntax supports it, but it would be nice if unspecified cells in a 16 team bracket were just left blank. This would allow for byes. Also, before 1979, there were no seeds.

Which bots remove whitespace that they deem unnecessary? I'm surprised that there are bots like this, as it seems needlessly destructive... --Dantheox 21:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

panthers fight song edit

My thought on putting that text back into the article that you removed is that mentioning that other teams having fight songs shows that it's part of a treasured NFL tradition, and that the Panthers wanted to start with something traditional that could become part of the fabric of the team.

Sadly, it was not to be (much to the chagrin of few hard-core Panthers fans). SpikeJones 04:17, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikifying NCAA Tournament Brackets

I've moved the

page to your {{4TeamBracket}} and {{16TeamBracket}} templates, and will be updating the remaining 64 team tournaments (1985-2004) soon. A few thoughts on the brackets:

• They could easily be more compact vertically. There's a lot of whitespace between the team name and the black line below it. This looks especially funky in the first round. I'm aware that this is probably an issue with the way brackets are implemented using tables, but it should be fixed if at all possible.
• Would it be possible to implement byes using metatemplates? If it's possible, would it be advisable? My thinking is that if "RD1-team05" and "RD1-team06" are left unspecified, then the gridlines for that game in the bracket would be colored white. Using some combination of metatemplates like
  Template:booland
  would presumably do the trick.
• Was there any particular reason you chose not to include a line for the bracket winner? There's enough information there to deduce who won, sure, but it's so satisfying to see that one team on a line all their own...

--Dantheox 00:19, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The new tournament brackets are a tremendous improvement. Great work! --Dantheox 17:54, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps a better way to do byes would be to include a "display" parameter for each first round game. With the default value, it has no effect, but if a value like "display:none" or maybe "#ffffff" is passed in, then it simply blanks out the cell. It looks as though your table layout would be mostly amenable to this -- the only display problem I can see that would be created is with the long vertical strips between each round. In the presence of a bye, these strips would still need to be there, only they would have half their current height (since there would only be one game leading into the next round, not two). This could be achieved by splitting the "rowspan=4" cell into two "rowspan=2" cells. Does this make sense? I'd be willing to make some of these changes, but I have a feeling you'd be able to do it more easily. --Dantheox 18:17, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Sure, that's fine. Out of curiosity, is there a standard way to test templates? By their nature, it seems like they need to be submitted before they can be tested from another page... --Dantheox 22:51, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Moving a page

I noticed that the page Red cedar redirects to Redcedar, which is clearly misspelled (should be two words). I wasnt able to change it since the correct spelling was already a page ( Red cedar, the redirect). Could you fix this? Or if you could tell me how, I will.

Sample bracket with byes

I've tweaked your Template:4TeamBracket to allow byes using the "color:white" method I described above. Sample template at User:Dantheox/4TeamBracketByes and a demo at User:Dantheox/Bracket Byes. Basic idea: there are two new parameters, "RD1-game1" and "RD1-game2". If they aren't specified, then it's just your four team bracket. If they're set to "white", then the corresponding game is completely whited out. Let me know what you think... "display:none" may have been a better way to do this, but "color:white" seems to work, too. How difficult would it be to integrate this into Template:16TeamBracket? --Dantheox 05:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

You certainly are ahead of me -- the three round bracket looks great! Just from an elegance/permanent solution point of view, I think the Template:Qif approach is better, even if it does use a controversial feature of Wikipedia. Tossing in an extra parameter with a strange, implementation-dependent value goes against every bone in my comp-sci body... and plus, if there's ever a less-controversial way to do the template than with Qif, it would be simple to just convert a single template page, rather than changing every tournament page. If you also make a 16-team version of this bracket, I'll get going on automatically updating the historical brackets. --Dantheox 06:36, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

My script to generate brackets for each year now works with your 3RoundBracket-Byes and (hopefully soon to be created-) 4RoundBracket-Byes. See

1957 NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Tournament. Thanks for all the great template work. And btw, did you find the new bracket design on some other site or is it original? --Dantheox

07:50, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

The {{4RoundBracket-Byes}} template would only be used in 1979-1984, so it's not that high priority. The three round bracket with byes covered pretty much everything. I noticed that User:Jodel's brackets had a Bronze Medal Match. This would be fantastically useful for the NCAA brackets, both for the two round bracket (a national third place game was played until 1981) and the three round bracket (a regional third place game was played until ~1975). This third place game would be a great candidate for {{Qif}}-ing --Dantheox 16:43, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

After having quickly scanned the article, it seems to be okay (if you check my track record I am a hard ass when it comes to GA) and one minor blip is not enough for failure (it is however a main component of denying promotion, often alongside a wealth of grammar issues). I am reviewing this thoroughly, and shall make a decision whether to keep the article or abide your decision.

It's great that you are helping with the GA process, but you need to review the entire article and way the positives and negatives, further helpful reading may be

That was really the only negative I saw on the article. Since it is a main component of denying promotion, shouldn't it still be removed? Or am I too harsh?

Tom DeLay image

I asked the author of the fixed up image Image:TomDeLay.jpg to fix the distortion issue you brought up. He did. Would you consider your vote on the IFD page? - Hbdragon88 05:54, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

• Looking at both side by side, I currently see nothing that would make me change my mind. But then perhaps the original PNG was a little distorted to begin with. Maybe we should look for something else. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 07:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, we gotta find something...there are two copies on Wikipedia and three copies on Commons. I'd like to reduce that number to just one. I've tagged two Commons versions so far... - Hbdragon88 07:47, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

He is Risen

Jesus Christ is risen today, Alleluia!
our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!
who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!
suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
our salvation have procured, Alleluia!
now above the sky he's King, Alleluia!

where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Question about formatting in the Sandbox??

Thanks Zzyzx11, for noticing that I hadn't vandalized the page. You are perceptive. I HATE vandalism, believe me. I'm a new kid on the block.Good advice though about summarizing the edits. I should have at least mentioned that I left something on the Discussion page regarding why I removed that paragraph about the CATCH II (by the way what is CATCH I???). I removed it because something kept going wrong with the formatting when I tried to give

Catch II

its own heading. I simply removed the piece after much frustration and hid it on the talk page.

SO HERE'S MY QUESTION: WHY WOULDN'T IT FORMAT PROPERLY??? IS THIS WHAT YOU MEAN BY USING THE SANDBOX??? WILL THIS FIX THE FORMATTING PROBLEMS I ENCOUNTER.

If you reverted the article back to its previous version before I edited, you of course noticed the terrible format that occurred. How did you fix the problem? I looked at the history page, and it looks like all you did was add a colon :....

Thanks again. And if you're also a Steeler fan, then you are AWESOME.Christian Roess 18:53, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
