Disambiguation link notification for December 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Merab Turkadze, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Image placement issue

Hi Marek,

This is my first time using the talk pages so I hope I'm doing it right... When reading the page on timber framing I noticed the image of Anne Hvides Gaard Svendborg was not placed right. It is an image from Denmark, beside a paragraph about British tradition. What's more, the image seems to disturb the last item of the bullet list above it. When I went to the edit page I noticed that in the source the image is in the right place. I've tried a number of ways to get it in the right place but sofar without success... Basically, I think the image should be placed just like the image of Idstein a little further down the page; a thumbnail on the left, just below a heading, with text flowing on the right. When comparing the two images I noticed one starting with File, the other with Image. Changing this did not change the layout. I noticed that the Danish image is below a heading 2 while the German image is below a heading 3. Changing the heading above the Danish image to heading 3 did not change the layout. Please have a look at this page. I can't figure out why this image is refusing to be positioned where it should. By the way, I'm using Firefox. It looks slightly better in IE but the images are still not placed the same way.

Thanks,

Help

I'm losing track. I assume you can view my talk page. If you can't, you'll have to tell me what to do so that you can.

You may see that I asked a question at the Teahouse. That's where the "problem" started. Although I signed my post with 4 tildes, the SineBot kicked in. I don't understand why. Then, I'm not sure what the responses I got mean. Taking it through, I assume that an editor simply decided that the article I was asking about wasn't sufficiently objective and put in the NPOV tag. I would have thought that, if an editor believes an article to be biased, he/she should look into it, identify both the original author and any other contributors, and then look to see the article amended. Not just tag it and leave it.

Then, if I want to have a conversation with the said editor, what is the protocol? Do I continue on the Teahouse page or go to the editor's talk page?

And I don't understand the advice given about my signature on the Special Preferences page. The advice given on the Special Preferences page seems to be at odds with the advice I was given.

And then the SineBot kicked in again! Is there some maximum space that is allowed before the 4 tildes are inserted?

I sort of wish I'd never asked the question now. It seems to have resulted in more problems than I was hoping to get resolved. But I have to get to the bottom of it now. Agent0060 12:51, 29 January 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Agent0060 (talkcontribs)

See what I mean? I put in the 4 tildes and it says it's unsigned!Agent0060 14:24, 29 January 2013 (UTC) — Precedingunsigned comment added by Agent0060 (talkcontribs)

(talk page stalker) The problem is that your signature contains no links. It must contain a link to any one or more of:
  • your user page [[User:Agent0060]] or [[User:Agent0060|Agent0060]]
  • your talk page [[User talk:Agent0060]] or [[User talk:Agent0060|talk]]

Remove interwiki links

I see there has been some reverted by people not aware of the situation - is there a link to the topic (a talk) that can be added to the edit summary to guide our editors to a page that explains whats going on?Moxy (talk) 23:32, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Moxy, thanks for your message. There is information on
AWB
, so that I do both at the same time. I'm not sure whether to add this to the edit summary though, (might make it a bit long-winded?)
Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 23:46, 14 February 2013 (UTC)

Good thinking. A very good idea. :-) -- Marek.69 talk 23:53, 14 February 2013 (UTC)
That proposal actually failed, so there's nothing preventing people from mass-removing links. That being said though, make sure that the links are in Wikidata before you delete them... --Rschen7754 00:27, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

I am checking that all of my edits work after removal. If not, I will simply self-revert. All good so far. -- Marek.69talk 00:51, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hello. It would be helpful to have a more detailed edit summary or some link to a detailed explanation and a centralized discussion. I was unaware of Wikidata and I must confess that my first reaction was "why is this idiot removing interwiki links?" I suspect I'm not the only one. Cheers, Pichpich (talk) 03:38, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi Pichpich Yes, I can understand that. The discussion does seem to be a bit fragmented. There is some explanation onthe wikimedia blog
Maybe an edit summary of Removing interwiki links - as from 13 Feb this data is handled by Wikidata site (www.wikidata.org)
What do you think?

Sorry to be thick and maybe a bit slow, but what is achieved by these edits? With an article like Manny Andruszewski, how am I now supposed to find the equivalent articles in other wikis? -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 13:53, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

They're still in the same place, in the "languages" box of the left margin. Unless editing the page, the only visible difference is that if a Wikidata page exists, there will be a "Edit links" bullet at the bottom right of that list, which takes you directly to the Wikidata page. --Redrose64 (talk) 14:02, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Thanks Deamonic Kangaroo, it looks like the Manny Andruszewski article does not yet work with Wikidata. I have been going through each of my edits post interwiki removal to check all is well and that's the first one which didn't work (you found it before me). -- Marek.69talk 14:11, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure why Wikidata did not have an entry for this particular article, but I've created one now, so it should work if the interwiki link is removed -- Marek.69 talk 14:22, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
All fine and dandy now. Thanks. -- Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 18:53, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

February 2013

Hi Pratyya Ghosh, thank you for leaving me a Level 1 Vandalism Warning. :-)
My edit to the Macedonia (Greece) article as you can see was to remove interwiki links.
I left an edit summary of removal of interwiki links - these are now handled by the Wikidata site (www.wikidata.org). You are most likely unaware, but Interwiki links are no longer neccessary on the en-Wikipedia as this is now being handled by Wikidata.org and this article's interwikis are stored now.
There is more information on this subject in the discussion and links above
If you check the revision as edited by me, you will notice that the interwikis are still there and are working.
I'm sorry if I caused you any confusion, and hope this clears the matter up.
Kind Regards -- Marek.69 talk 14:33, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
Pratyya Ghosh, as I have explained the reasoning behind my edit, which was clearly not an act of vandalism, would you mind deleting the above uw-vandalism1 template. Best Regards -- Marek.69 talk 15:30, 15 February 2013 (UTC)
I've removed. Thanks for your asking. And seriously I'm extremely sorry for this. I've made this un-knowingly. So again I'm sorry.--Pratyya (Hello!) 15:44, 15 February 2013 (UTC)

Boleslaw Chrobry

Hi, Marek:

I think that Boleslaw Chrobry is the most appropriate even in English, because, as you might know (I assume you speak Polish) in Polish tradition we use Boleslaw Chrobrym or just Chrobry. It was most likely used when he was still alive and most definitely Gall Anonim used that. I checked in a very good database JSTOR: search for "Boleslaw Chrobry" (in quotation marks to search for the whole phraze) gave me 115 results, "Boleslaw I Chrobry" 12 results, "Boleslaw I the Brave" 4 results and "Boleslaw the Brave" 25. Also Boleslaw the Brave might be confused with his grandson Boleslaw Smialy. I propose to stay with the ancient Chrobry (most contemporary Pols don't even know the meaning). To stay consistent I can change it to Boleslaw Chrobry - if you accept, I don[t want to start a Wiki-war :-)

Best,

Andy — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vitalis Visus (talkcontribs) 00:40, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Wikilink questions

Hi Marek- I saw your changes to my wikilinks on Mont Saint-Michel. I thought I was doing them correctly. Does wp prefer we omit the underscores in url titles (when they will not be seen)? And do we prefer words where only part of the letters are hyperlinked (e.g. [[Armorica]]n to [[Armorica|Armorican]])? That doesn't look as clean to me as having the whole word hyperlinked. Eric talk 15:10, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Eric, thank you for your message. :-)
I've been using
AWB primarily to do spell checking, but it also has other 'fixes'. Both modifications you refer to are part of the default settings of the program, described as 'apply general fixes
'.
These fixes are described in
WP:LINKSTYLE
.
I'm guessing the removal of underscore is probably aesthetic, just to make the link look clearer, but there may be some technical reason as well, I'm not sure(?)
I hope this helps :-)
Kind Regards Marek.69 talk 19:39, 7 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Marek- Thanks for getting back to me. So the bot is set to prefer partially hyperlinked words as well? Eric talk 20:04, 7 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Marek, I appreciate the welcome your left me. I like your user page. I notice you volunteered at the 2012 London Olympics. I was a volunteer in London for the summer games, working on the computer systems in the Stadium. It looks like you did driving. A friend of mine, Mark Finnegan, was a volunteer driver, the world is always full of coincidences. I am still new to editing so am learning as I go along and if I get stuck on anything I will remember your offer of help. Thanks. GR8DAN (talk) 13:07, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi GR8DAN, thank you for your message. You're quite right, I was a volunteer gamesmaker at the London 2012 Olympic & Paralympic Games.
I worked most of the time for the Transport department, but also for Event Services and Mobility, so I worked quite a few shifts as a driver. I don't recall a Mark Finnegan, but its entirely possible we worked together at some point, considering the large number of volunteers that there was, and the short amount of time we had for introductions. :-)
I wish you very happy editing on Wikipedia, and if there is anything I can help with, please do not hesitate to ask.
Kind Regards Marek.69 talk 19:43, 9 March 2013 (UTC)

Re: Brainless idiot

I didn't call you or anyone else a brainless idiot. In fact, the comment wasn't even aimed at you specifically. There were multiple references to this or that tweet in conjunction with moving the article, and comments on the Pope Francis talk page were obviously being posted in such haste that move proponents weren't even reading through the multiple parallel discussion threads. Moreover, Twitter accounts do get hijacked, and even when they haven't been, one can't be sure that the person whose name is associated with a Twitter account is the celebrity one thinks it might be. Although you took it for a personal affront; it was not intended that way. In effect, I was pulling the emergency brake on a runaway train. My apology if you felt offended. — QuicksilverT@ 23:47, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
