Press Corps?

Hi PZFUN,

One of these days we *will* manage to meet up in New York. I notice you don't go anywhere without your camera; please consider adding yourself to the list of photogs at m:Press Corps, and adding events (games, festivals, rallies?) you're thinking about attending to the list of events there.

FA candidate

Hi. Can you, please, look at this article again? Was it improved (some more complicated info on international tension, on her death, etc. added)? I said more on its lead section on that article's FA candidate page. BTW your questions also were dealt with. Cmapm 09:02, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A complaint to a waitress can provide clues to solving the riddle of how to create a Simplified Ruleset. See if you can spot your contribution(s) :-)

Hmm, though mind you, come to think of it, its really subtle now. I could still do that a lot better.

Let me ponder on this.

Canal images

I moved the image of the canal crossings to make room for the pre-canal painting, which fits more topically in the 'history' section. Actually, I think the intro could probably be expanded somewhat, which would deal with all the format issues.--Pharos 18:18, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)


Thanks

Thank you for you message. I'll be more careful :)

I agree that there should be spaces between pinyin syllables. However, according to 'Basic rules for Hanyu pinyin Orthography' (Chinese national standard no. GB/T 16159-1996), pinyin syllables of geographical names, biographical names and er-ized words should be written connected.

Re: Your revert

Hi Páll. It is part of the names of the stations as at the entrances/exits. Adding the word station also helps differentiating station and line articles which share the same name. Thanks. — Instantnood 08:03, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Re: Page moves

Hello again. I understand you created most of the articles, but as I know the way of presentation has never been agreed upon. Some new articles on new lines or stations are created with another format. I agree we have to reach a consensus and standardised all the articles. Let's keep all articles as they are at the time being until a consensus is reached. There was actually already a discussion at the talk page of WP:HKWNB. — Instantnood 08:09, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

If I have not misunderstood you have agreed not to make further edit or change the titles during the discussion. Please keep the articles as they are, and please don't move [1] or revert them [2] [3] [4]. Many thanks. — Instantnood 08:40, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

I don't think the page moves and changes to the format of the bolded title in articles have anything to do with the previous ArbCom case that I was involved. And FYI, the case was closed without any decision or action taken. — Instantnood 10:22, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

Re: Notes

The notes have been on the pages for a really long time, and I'm just trying to keep them as they were while moving the lists to templates. I hope they did not scare you. :-D — Instantnood 23:28, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

The notes were not added by me, but I spent loads of efforts to keep them as they were while creating the templates. Would you mind discuss it before trashing them? Many thanks. — Instantnood 23:32, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
IMHO they provide useful and essential information that is not presented in the lists. Yes I made them more accurate and easier to read, and I helped rephrasing the notes, but I was not the one who started creating them. It'd better to discuss it at a common place with more people to participate, rather than a personal conversation between you and I. :-) — Instantnood 23:44, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

SA-geo-stub

Hi - I'm sorry about this, but I've just reverted the change you made to SA-geo-stub. Stub templates are meant to be as unobtrusive as possible, which is why none of them (not even {{stub}}) have boxes around them. The less space they take up, the better everyone seems to like it (there are frequent discussions about the general look of stub templates at Template talk:Stub and at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting).

History of South Africa and Apartheid articles

Hi -- Your work on the History of South Africa article is very impressive! I did a little work on the images -- hope it was helpful. In the FA discussion, User:Maveric149 has volunteered to move some of the apartheid material out of the history article and into the Apartheid article. I think that's the right thing to do. It will probably improve the apartheid article immeasurably, and maybe get it out of the revert-war rut that's apparently been taking up all the energy that could have gone into improving the article. Do you agree with this whole course of action? I've left a message on Maveric149's talk page offering to help. If you'd like to make this a group effort, maybe you could post there too.--Bcrowell 23:46, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Hey there, thanks for getting back to me. Of course, moving some content off the HSA article and into the apartheid one is fine! Looking forward to seeing the results." (from Pall, quoted from my own talk page)
Hi Pall -- I'd like to talk more about what we want to happen, before going ahead and doing a lot of extensive edits that might not have a consensus behind them. I'm posting on the HSA article's talk page to try to get a discussion going, and I'll also put a heads-up on the apartheid article's talk page.--Bcrowell 21:33, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Concerning the "bloody image" in the article "Hong Kong"

I don't know what the article looks like on your computer screen, but on my screen (resolution: 800×600 or 1024×768), I see a huge empty space under the heading "History", which is why I moved the so-called "bloody image". Did my edit really make the history section turn into a column two words wide on your computer and looks horrible? Riddle | Talk 09:57, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This is what the article looks like on my computer after your edit at 0940 : Image: Screenshot of the article 'Hong Kong' (0940, 21 Jun 2005; 1024 by 768).png (1024×768). Do you think that the empty space under the heading "History" is not a problem?

This is what it looks like after my edit at 0742: Image:Screenshot of the article 'Hong Kong' (0742, 21 Jun 2005; 1024 by 768).png

By the way, what is your screen resolution? Riddle | Talk 10:28, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I see you have added more images to the article. If this is an attempt to solve the viewing problem, I can tell you it does not work. The article looks almost the same as before, with two more images below the "Old Hong Kong" image. If you insist that those images should be aligned to the right, maybe you can try moving them downward (on my computer, this solves the dead space problem). Riddle | Talk 01:50, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Btw, does your self-nomination count as one vote? -- Jerry Crimson Mann 1 July 2005 19:47 (UTC)

You added two links to the following sentence: " Hong Kong has one of the world's least restricted economies, and is the world's 10th largest trading entity and 11th largest banking centre. "

I clicked the links, and those pages say Hong Kong is the 10th largest exporter of service, instead of tradiing entity, and 11th largest stock market, as oppose to banking. Is there any other information to justify trading is the 10th, and banking is 11th? — Instantnood July 4, 2005 20:51 (UTC)

portals

I think the portal would make more sense at the top of the article because they are like cover pages. It doesn't make sense to read the portal after you have read the entire article. What do you think? PeregrineAY June 30, 2005 09:12 (UTC)

  • As yours is the remaining opposition vote on this FAC, I'd ask that you speak now if you have any specific POV issues. I would be only too happy to address your concerns, so please feel free to jot down quotes from the article that you feel are POV (either on my talk page, the FAC, or the article talk page) and I'll address them accordingly.

South African dialling codes

If you reply, please write here, not on my talk page. A thread split between talk pages is very difficult to follow.

Excellent work producing List of South African calling codes - well done. Re my changes to it:

  • My knowledge of South Africa is not good enough to tell whether Giyani or Valezia (for example) is the larger. So some of the rows may need some reorganisation.
  • I was glad to see how many blue links appeared but I have not checked all for ambiguity. Certainly George needs dealing with.

Regarding the separate "0xx (South Africa Calling Code)" articles and Template:South Africa Calling Code. Here I am much more dubious:

  • The titles are bad, they should be: "South African area code zz" (without a leading zero)
  • They are contrary to policy. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Area codes. Articles for the North American area codes are usually justified - each one covers a larger area and they have a complex histories of splits and overlays. None of these apply to South Africa.

We could start a new deletion policy debate for them but my recommendation is: stop now, don't create any more - just work on merging the list into South African Telephone Numbering Plan.

Incidentally, why is 5363 De Aar singled out for inclusion? There are many other four digit codes that could be included.

Once again, well done for starting the list. -- RHaworth 2005 July 5 13:51 (UTC)

Oh dear. I have now found out that your article was a fork. -- RHaworth 2005 July 5 14:33 (UTC)

Suburbs

Unless you intend to expand them, why not create those Johannesburg suburbs as a list (and redirecting the names to it) rather than separate pages? People would still be able to make a page if they want to add info. --IByte 7 July 2005 20:23 (UTC)

  • OK, fine if you expand them. --IByte 7 July 2005 20:30 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Hong Kong/archive1

Pàll, are you busy? It looks to me like the FAC vote could use some attention, it could roll off any time, presumably. Three people are still objecting it's too long, from before we shortened it. I've written to Harro5 and Phoenix2 to point out that it's shorter now. (I'd rather not write to Nichalp, the third voter, for reasons of my own.) And two voters, Piotrus and me, have left minor objections to the Lead section (too short, no history in it), and undertaken to support if that is addressed. That's two opposes that wouldn't cost much to turn into supports. I'm not familiar enough with the article to revise the Lead myself, I guess. Bishonen | talk 16:12, 10 July 2005 (UTC)

In The News

Hi. You recently edited the In The News section of the Main Page with an edit summary of "It launched at midnight in every timezone, not syncronous with the UK", speaking in relation to the latest Harry Potter book. This is incorrect. As far as I know, the book only launched at midnight local time in the regions where the book is a Scholastic edition. Elsewhere, including Australia (where I live), the book went on sale at the precise moment it did in the United Kingdom, which meant a brisk early release of 7am (Perth time). - Mark 11:37, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Champagne Castle

Hi. Can you explain why you moved Champagne Castle to Champagne Castle, KwaZulu-Natal? The naming conventions being used by WikiProject Mountains is not to use the convention in use for inhabited locations. Is there another Champagne Castle that you know about? The project convention for disambiguating mountains is to put the province/state (rarely the country) in parenthesis rather than use the comma notation which implies a location inhabited by people.

Vandalism of History of South Africa in the apartheid era went undetected.

Hi -- I just noticed that some wholesale vandalism of the History of South Africa in the apartheid era a couple of days ago went undetected until today. An anon replaced the entire text of the article with the old text of the Apartheid article, including the bit about "diaspora Jews." Since this seems to have slipped under everyone's radar (including mine), and I don't know who has History of South Africa in the apartheid era on their watchlist, I thought I'd give you a heads up. --Bcrowell 18:27, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

You were a bit late on the Montreal street name style question, but only inasmuch as there's already been a policy written up by Montrealais that seems to have left everyone else involved satisfied so far. There's discussion of it at the very bottom of the discussion -- I've added a TOC there so it's clearer. I suspect the policy would satisfy you as well since your concerns sound similar to what mine were -- could you take a look and see if the policy mostly satisfies? — mendel ☎ 23:01, August 5, 2005 (UTC)

Stop!

We do not put references to featured articles into the articles themselves. It is metadata that belongs on the talk page. →Raul654 01:24, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

There is however the slightly odd situation in that we are now showing little stars next to the interwiki language links for an article where that article is featured on another language wiki, yet we don't indicate the status for the language you are actually reading. See for example the comet article which has five stars for FeaturedArticle status in other languages and a page full of notices on the talk page.
Perhaps the solution is to allow self interwikis so that the {{Link FA}} template can be used on a dummy English language link for an article on the English wiki.-- Solipsist 11:43, 18 October 2
