Photo requests

Do you do photo requests? The Air Nostrum head office is at Avda. Comarques del País Valenciá, 2. 46930 Quart de Poblet, Valencia - Would you mind photographing it and posting the picture on Wikipedia? This could be the building viewed from the air. Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 04:00, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't live in Valencia these days. May be back to visit family but I don't know when. I could ask them to make the photo (I've some that lives in Xirivella) but don't know when. Valenciano (talk) 22:27, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

google search: "gain control over council" 2 results "gain control over the council" 4430 results.--Jordiferrer (talk) 11:41, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm afraid you've wasted your time with that search. I could instantly have told you that "gain control over council" is incorrect while "gain control over the council" is correct but that's not what you're reverting here. You're changing "gain control over Barcelona City council" to "gain control over the Barcelona City Council." This is not correct as Barcelona City Council is what is called a zero article situation in English.

Quote: "No article is needed for most places consisting of just the name of a person, or the name of a person/place followed by a noun examples Harrods, Macys, McDonald's, Lloyds Bank, St. Paul's Cathedral, Buckingham Palace, Kennedy Airport, Waterloo Station, Cambridge University, etc." Reference here. Barcelona City Council is exactly that: a place (Barcelona) followed by a noun (city council) and therefore it doesn't take the definite article.

DYK for 1980 Ispaster attack

Multi-member seats

Hi - I quite agree with you. Where there are two or perhaps three representatives, it is possible to list them all - as, for example in

Gordon Hewart's succession in Leicester. For more, it's not really practical to list them all, and it's inaccurate to pick out just one. I had a brief exchange with Padraig at User talk:Padraig#Thomas Moles about this three years ago, but I haven't seen any further developments. In case of a by-election, there's usually a clear succession, but it's uncommon for someone's service to both begin and end with a by-election. The method of using party names, as seen in the Dessie Ellis article, makes some sense, but then as the party was not previously represented, his predecessor should surely be "none", not a randomly chosen TD from another party.

kudos on the nice edits, but can we get sourced?Lihaas (talk) 16:59, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Won't be a problem. This official site is up, although the deadline for nominating candidates is around 18 April and thereafter will be published in national and local press. Valenciano (talk) 22:19, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at the band's website, http://www.submittosuggestion.com/fr_home.cfm, I didn't think that was an attack but a non-notable biography..... (It's worth a look - and looking closer now I've found the article was a copyvio into the bargain. Click on the pic of King Bong.) Better to tag as attack even if it turns out not to be than to miss one, though. If it comes back, check it against the site for copyvio... Peridon (talk) 10:13, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was the drug dealer and pimp bit that made me label it as an attack. Valenciano (talk) 10:17, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

In some quarters, those are compliments... 8-) Peridon (talk) 10:26, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, yeah. It did cross my mind that he styled himself that way but the article had as you said many problems, most of it gibberish, a copyvio and unsourced stuff calling someone a pimp ain't that encyclopedic. Valenciano (talk) 10:28, 26 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well it's not a valid A7 simply because it's not in article space. It's probably nearer

Don't worry about it, I made exactly the same mistakes in the past and it's often not obvious. You can read

Yeah, I'll take care of that. The Times had a fantastic map that shows areas by census tract. http://projects.nytimes.com/census/2010/map Hegewisch is Census Tract 5501 and part of 5502. I think it actually breaks down to being 45% Caucasian now. I'll edit the infobox. FactsAndHonesty (talk) 07:46, 10 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you will see that if we use the team names, they do not always fit in the space provided. Using match numbers is far tidier and follows the custom UEFA used for the 2nd qualifying round draw. I don't know why they didn't number the matches for the 3rd qualifying round draw, but that is beside the point. –

Hello Valenciano. I have unblocked JesseRafe on the condition that he refrain from making further comments regarding your previous statements at the AfD. While I am sure you had no ill intent with your comments there, I can see both his point of view and yours regarding the "Hispanic newspaper endorsing one of their own" statement, and I hope that you will both agree to put the matter to rest at this point. Please let me know if you have any questions. 28bytes (talk) 04:57, 14 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For more information, please see NPP Survey. Global message delivery 13:46, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the insights on the Dave Kaptain deletion discussion. I gave my opinion on triviality while you gave yours on significant coverage. The points of view from both the far sides of the continuum are certainly worthy of discussion. It's just that I choose the middle ground. PolicarpioM (talk) 09:11, 2 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the messge. I think overall here there are problems with

WP:POLITICIAN is not sufficiently clear cut on that and therefore such deletion debates generally have inconsistent outcomes depending on who shows up on the day. Generally Mayors of US cities tend to get kept while Mayors of cities in other countries are less likely to survive. I personally feel it would be better to have general articles in cases like this on the local government in the place in question which would cover the Mayor in context rather than having articles on Mayors-of-whichever-place-has-enough-people-with-free-time-and-internet-access-to-edit-here. In this case I think it's fairly ridiculous that a Mayor of a Chicago suburb of 107k gets an article when in the past Mayors of cities of 350k plus have gone. There is an inconsistency here that needs addressing. Valenciano (talk) 23:49, 8 November 2011 (UTC)[reply

If I may chime in here, I agree with Valenciano. Mayors are "local elected officials" under

WP:POLITICIAN, let me know and I will weigh in. --MelanieN (talk) 16:05, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply

I think Valenciano's concerns are valid and reasonable as stated above. I'll support Valenciano and MelanieN on these issues at WP:POLITICIAN and hopefully, in future AfDs regarding mayors. We need to find a common ground though on what is routine news coverage on politicians. PolicarpioM (talk) 06:25, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've reverted the changes I did to the party vote share boxes regarding the templates, so the sort function will work now as intended. Instead, I've added some self-made maps showing the percentage of the popular vote that each party won in the different provinces, to be vore visually appealing to the eye. Since it also shows those provinces that were won with absolute majority, the sort function now is much more effective for those who want to contrast the data with the map. Impru20 (talk) 21:20, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great work. My only problem with the changes you made to the table was on sorting grounds. But if you can find a way to make it more visually appealing but still sortable, that would be good. Valenciano (talk) 13:58, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Did it. Just colored the percentage differences either green or red, depending whether they increase or decrease, respectively. The result is more visually appealing (it's much easier to difference between the decreasing percentages and the increasing ones) while also retaining the sort function. Simple, but effective. For now I've done just those in the 2011 article, but I'm moving on to do the same in the 2008 one.

By the way, the party vote share per province concept gave me the idea of also adding the seats each party won in each province, which has been done through a simple graphic, which includes all parties. Again, I just did it for 2011. However, I will work on a 2008 graphic once I'm done with the party vote share boxes. Regards. Impru20 (talk) 17:40, 19 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
