Tables

Captions aren't mandatory, as such, but they're generally a good idea so that the reader understands what the table is for. Bearcat (talk) 07:04, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I generally like them better with a title caption whenever possible, but it's ultimately up to editor discretion — there's no requirement either way. As long as the purpose and meaning of the table is explained somehow, just do whatever makes more sense to you — there's no right or wrong. Bearcat (talk) 17:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tables

As far as I can tell, tables are not discussed by the Manual of Style, and the only style guideline merely discusses when tables should and shouldn't be used. Unless I've overlooked something, it's my opinion that there's not any sort of mandatory rule of style to be followed with regard to tables. —Scott5114 [EXACT CHANGE ONLY] 07:06, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh lost my longer message to you in a cut and paste mess up. Not sure about Western Sahara as it is connected to Morocco but I think a series on banking or the stock market in each of the African countries is possible - Banking in Uganda etc. If we could develop each one along the lines of Template:Economy of Ghana I think it will start to take shape. It is a lot of work for sure, but it is an area that need covering and an important one at that but will be done gradually and the templates are the first step to connect them together.

National Vagina Day and V-Day

Hello, I am sorry to say that I am not familiar with the subject of V-Day or National Vagina Day but you could always add NVD to the V-Day article, saying "on February 14, V-Day organizes an event in order to inform society of violence against women..." or something like that.

Translation

Hi there, you wrote: "Hi, can you please translate what is written here below the three separate images". The lower part of the image uploaded by you shows an engraving of famous German medieval painter Albrecht Dürer, titled "Ritter, Tod und Teufel" (to be translated as "The Knight, Death, and the Devil").

  • Gefährlich leben = living dangerously
  • translation of the part between: Dürer's famous engraving "The Knight, Death, and the Devil" praises the heroic human, who in constant contact with death strongly clings to live, and leads the demon in his own chest into the fight against a world full of devils."
  • Bereitsein ist alles = to be ready (for something) is everything


The Nazis created a variation of this Dürer engraving title, to be used in their non-smoking campaign: "The Knight against Death and Devil". "Tabak und Krebs" = "Tobacco and cancer". The lobster (crab) on the upper image fits because the German word "Krebs" can mean "cancer" or "crab". "Propaganda Musika" = "propaganda with music" (Musika is a poetic variation of the word Musik - music). "So appetitlich frisch" (written with long s where appropriate) means "so appetizingly fresh".--Ratzer (talk) 09:28, 20 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't really know. It definitely depends on the circumstances, but it might be an idea to bring it up at Wikipedia talk:Featured article candidates; I'm sure someone there will either be able to tell you if a given topic is one that might not need images, or give you some suggestions on what to add or what you should look for in an image. FA discussions don't give much weight to concerns that aren't 'actionable', so if there genuinely are no image possibilities for an otherwise FA-worthy article, I would imagine - not being an FA reviewer myself - that the article would probably pass. But you'll probably get a better answer at the FAC talk page. -- Vary | Talk 15:38, 24 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nazi anti-tobacco images

I am flattered that you contacted me over this, but I doubt I can be of much help, since my knowlege of image protocols is non-existent - I am frequently in trouble over my image choices, constantly having to delete, etc. For what it's worth, in my opinion your first image is central to the article and should be retained if at all possible. The second is less essential and the article wouldn't suffer much fron its loss. I see from the talkpage that you have heavyweights such as Awadewit and Elcobbola in on the discussion, and I would be much guided by them. Hope this helps (though I doubt it does - sorry).

My only concern about your edit is that it reads "Jewish Terrorism" and then "Palestinian Political Violence". Either Jewish Terrorism should be merged into "Jewish Political Violence" or "Palestinian Political Violence" should be moved to "Palestinian Terrorism." Besides that, I don't see a big problem with its inclusion. If it were included, I would rather see the article be reorganized such that there is a section on organized crime, a section on general crime, and then a section on terrorism/political violence. That sort of reorganization should probably happen anyways. Tiger Khan (talk) 18:05, 28 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Child abuse image

Hi

I removed the image you added to Child abuse, but my edit summary was too quick and short, so I thought I'd say hello and explain.

The image was a photo of the result of general violence; although a child was hurt, it does not illustrate the topic of child abuse, it illustrates war or rioting.

But more importantly, I think the topic of child abuse is too broad to be depicted with an image; by using an image it can distract, or divert the attention from the important concepts in the text, lots of which can't be shown because they are psychological/emotional/developmental, etc.

Maybe you don't agree, but I wanted to offer my thoughts on it beyond a cursory edit summary,.

Have a good one...

Conflict at Orissa religious violence & Jobxavier

Otolemur, I seek council & perhaps assistance. As you may have noticed there is a bit of an edit war at

Orissa religious violence- I've been fighting to keep pro-Hindutva POV out of the article, and User:Bharatveer and User:Jobxavier
have been repeatedly reinserting it (and finding new POV bits to insert). Jobxavier is the worst offender, and, to be frank, his conduct leads me to desire to bring a RfC regarding him. You're more experienced than I, so I was wondering if firstly, you think this is the appropriate action; secondly, what to do about the requirement in Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment#Request_comment_on_users that "at least two editors must have contacted the user on their talk page, or the talk pages involved in the dispute, and tried but failed to resolve the problem"? I mean to say, I've contacted him; to a lesser extent User:vvarkey has contacted him, but with no difference to his conduct; moreover, how does one try to resolve the problem when, in essence, he just needs to stop? I guess my question is, has enough been done to satisfy this requirement as of yet, or do additional steps need to be taken? Finally, if you agree with the above, and if you're familiar with RfCs, would you care to help me out with this? Best regards, Gabrielthursday (talk) 08:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dragon Bridge images

Looking over whats there...

All 3 images are fine from the stand point of free use.

I'd leave the infobox one alone, since it's of the bridge proper.

As for the dragons...

I'd move Dragon Bridge.jpg (the detail of just the dragon) to the left side (so the dragon faces into the article) and just under the "Architecture" header. That section seems to be the primary place where the inclusion of the statues as a design element should be discussed.

And I'd lose Image:Zmajski most-Ljubljana.JPG. I'ts a good image, but unless there is a discussion about the design on the bulwark, it's redundant to the sculpture image. And it won;t be lost since it looks like it's included in the Commons gallery.

Soapbox

The reason there is soapboxing on the Masonic ritual AfD is because there is no difference in the material in this article from the material in the Freemasonry article aside from the Christian controversy section.

That makes it a negative advocacy problem, which is especially egregious because the criticisms leveled are generic and have nothing to do with anything in the article itself.

Eaglehawk was a mining boom town in the 1850's (the

Thanks for the vote of confidence at the AfD. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 07:08, 2 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I see that you were one of the participants in the recent AfD on the article Christianity and Judaism. That AfD recommended (in a snowball result) that the article be merged into Judeo-Christian. However, since the AfD concerns have been raised, most notably

  • Per
    Islam and Judaism
    .
  • The reason the article Judeo-Christian exists, as its own hatnote declares, is specifically to survey the history and use of that word-phrase -- which has its own controversy, and its own tale to tell. (See here where I've set things out in a bit more detail.) That story is a good fit for its own article, and will get completely lost if the contents of Christianity and Judaism get inappropriately dumped on top of it.

Having contacted the closing admin,

WP:CCC
the new consensus should be followed, rather than the AfD decision, without the need for a DRV or a new AfD.

Concerns about the proposed merge have also been expressed by

talk · contribs) and SkyWriter (talk · contribs
).

This post is therefore to let you know that that discussion is underway, at Talk:Christianity and Judaism#Overly speedy deletion, with a view to perhaps setting aside the AfD decision.

Of course, some significant issues were raised in the AfD about the article in its present form, so the best way forward is a question that needs some thought. Please feel welcome to come and participate! Jheald (talk) 07:50, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Boys in Red accident

Hi just a little answer to your question. Boys in Red was coined by numerous new organisations after the accident in reference to the players killed in the accident. A fund titled Boys in Red Fund was also settup following the accident in order to raise money for memorials to those killed. I figured since The Boys in Red seemed to be an almost universally accepted name for the accident in Canada that it seemed suitable as an article title on Wikipedia. Do you have suggestions for a better name? :) --Kuzwa (talk) 23:20, 9 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

Hello there. A few weeks back, you made what I felt was an insensitive reply to a post on the RefDesk and I replied to you with some rather impolite remarks of my own. In the time since then I've come to realize that while your reply might have been a little brusque, mine was extremely rude and completely uncalled for. I have also seen your many knowledgeable replies to other questions and I realize that I could have driven off a valuable contributor with a hasty edit of ill-chosen words.

An article you created is about to be deleted: Tools which can help you

The article you created,

Half_to_Death
is about to be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

  1. You can list the page up for deletion on
    Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page
    .
  2. You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here:
    Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User
    . But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
  3. When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of
    WP:Deletion debate acronyms
    which may support the page you created being kept.
    Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.
  4. You can merge the article into a larger article.

If your page is deleted, you still

have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 18:34, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply

Science fiction film of India

The article

because of the following concern:

"Science fiction film of India". It refers to a genre of films, which are not very popular in the country. The article has no sources saying that these are the only films ever made. In fact, a category or a template would be a much better option than keep an article, as some films have not received much of a notice and some have. If anyone wants to highlight the fact that xXx is a science fiction film, all they have to do is add the category or template to it. To put it short, this article has no significance to highlight a specific genre of films.
