== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Princess Michael]] ==

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|48px|]]

The article [[:Princess Michael]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:

Well, something needs to be done to the page, because it renders over the text in IE for me now (which was why I was trying to fix it in the first place). So you can see what is happening, I have placed images of what I see [http://www.concentric.net/~ccet446/pgimage.htm here] (''warning: big images''). I am using IE 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.050301-1526. [[User:CoyneT|CoyneT]] [[User_talk:CoyneT|^talk]] 28 June 2005 19:26 (UTC)

<blockquote>[[Princess Michael of Kent]] is clearly [[wp:primary]]. Delete per [[WP:2DABS]].</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

Additional note: Maybe it just has to do with width/maxwidth. I am told by something I read that maxwidth:60% doesn't work; what I had tried was reversing them, so that width was a percentage and that maxwidth was set in pixels. Just FYI; maybe it will help. [[User:CoyneT|CoyneT]] [[User_talk:CoyneT|^talk]] 28 June 2005 19:29 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Princess Michael|the article's talk page]].

:More: The problem I am seeing seems to be "skins" related. If I'm on "Classic" skin (to which I somehow wound up configured), the bottom block is rendered over the text, otherwise not. It looks okay if I'm configured for Monobook. [[User:CoyneT|CoyneT]] [[User_talk:CoyneT|^talk]] 29 June 2005 21:27 (UTC)

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> --[[User:Neve-selbert|Nev&eacute;]][[Special:Contributions/Neve-selbert|&ndash;]][[User talk:Neve-selbert|selbert]] 18:01, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

Would you mind checking out [[Talk:FOX News]] and helping us in our conflict?

{{Ivmbox|Hello, Rdsmith4. Voting in the '''[[WP:ACE2017|2017 Arbitration Committee elections]]''' is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December.

==[[John W. Garrett]] Infobox==

The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the [[Wikipedia:Arbitration|Wikipedia arbitration process]]. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Policy|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you insist on keeping the infobox, then please do something about the grotesque image distortion that the box causes...and also the problem of the horizontal rule that bisects it.

What's the point of the infobox, anyway? It's not like a species taxobox that displays information that would be cumbersome to put into the text. The infobox information goes easily into a biography. I prefer a simple picture with a caption. The infobox makes the image look like a reflection in a fun house mirror. User:12.227.131.190 30 JUN 05

If you wish to participate in the 2017 election, please review [[Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2017/Candidates|the candidates]] and submit your choices on the '''[[Special:SecurePoll/vote/400|voting page]]'''. [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 18:42, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

Okay, you (or somebody) fixed the horizonal rule problem. Now, what about the stretched image?

*I have intentionally stayed away from that debate and the voting in it, thus I wouldn't consider myself an involved party in the dispute. The issue is a somewhat larger one - Netoholic has a tendency of ignoring consensus and unilaterally imposing his own view on templates. This was discussed in a lengthy talk I had with him and Kim Bruning about a week ago (at the end of which, Kim blocked him for revert warring). Unfortunately, Kim has since resigned from Neto's mentorship; but Netoholic has lately been doing precisely those things that got him into the RFAr injunction in the first place.

== You have been removed from [[Wikipedia:Local Embassy]] due to inactivity ==

==Re: {{tl|stub}}==

Hi - sorry if my reversion seemed a bit peremptory, but there wasn't really space in the edit summary to explain. Your edit was to stop a link to wikispace in a template - normally a good move. However, in the case of this particular template it is - as noted at the top of its talk page - maintained by [[WP:WSS]] in an attempt to bring some sort of order to Wikipedia. Since the aim of that project is to reduce the use of the simple generic stub template, it makes more sense to have the very short explanation as to better templates that can be used than not to. Much of the talk in the template's talk pages is also related to the wording, and there seems to be a fair degree of consensus as to having some sort of message saying "place a more precise stub message" - the link is the most obvious way. In fact, your last message on the talk pages, about a month ago, was answered by someone suggesting that the link would probably attract more editors - not a bad thing.

'''Hi Rdsmith4!''' You're receiving this notification because you were previously listed at [[Wikipedia:Local Embassy]], but you haven't made any edits to the English Wikipedia in over 6 months.

==GNAA==

::Begging your pardon, are you being serious about the last bit? Do you intend to continue listing this article on VFD every six months? That sounds an awful lot like intentional disruption to me.

: I've only listed that article on VfD once, and I would not have done so if I'd known its recent history at the time. However I don't think it's unreasonable to list borderline articles like this, as long as it's at reasonable intervals. It's been over six months so I was fine with the nomination and, on procedural grounds, felt that what was evidently a good faith nomination should be honored.

Because of your inactivity, you have been removed from the list. If you would like to resubscribe, you can do so at any time by visiting [[Wikipedia:Local Embassy]].

: On disruption, well I don't think different individuals not in a conspiracy VfDing an article infrequently would amount to disruption, although the trolls may attempt to disrupt the discussion. If you get problems on #wikipedia just put it into moderated mode. If you get server problems complain to the people who run the server until they boot the trolls. --[[User:Tony Sidaway|Tony Sidaway]]|[[User talk:Tony Sidaway|Talk]] 8 July 2005 20:45 (UTC)

The file [[:File:Renaultf1 cropped.jpg]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:

From research I think its true to say that Renault's participation in F1 was as Renault Sport from 1975 (creation of Renault Sport) to 1997? Do you know if that's right? Then with the purchase of [[Benetton Formula|Benetton]] Renault F1 was run as a distinct division (that I'm pretty sure of). As such I think it would be correct to change those links that refer to the 2000-Present team to Renault F1 and leave those that refer to the period up to 1997 as Renault Sport. Any thoughts?

You may have noticed *mega sigh* that yet another user has dragged up the ''lets rename [[Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom]]'' farce, only 9 days after the ''last'' vote ended. (What next? A vote every day on the issue next?) I have proposed instead this vote on [[Talk:Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom]] page:

'''''That Wikipedia stop wasting time on endless revoting on this goddamned issue and ban votes on this issue from this page for at least six months.'''''

Thanks to the comment above by [[User:Mark83|Mark83]], I've just noticed all the F1 pictures that you've added to your gallery.

== Waldorf-Astoria ==

Begging your pardon, but why did you write "no, it's a double hyphen" while replacing my equal sign (a perfectly good approximation) with a single hyphen (which is entirely incorrect)? I'm a bit confused. &mdash; [[User:Rdsmith4|Dan]] | [[User talk:Rdsmith4|Talk]] 00:05, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

: While double hyphen and equality sign look similar, they have a very different semantics. The first is a variant of the single hyphen, and is a punctuation mark, the second is a mathematical symbol, and indicates equality. So, it's not correct to replace one with the other. Similarly, it would be incorrect to replace ''a'' with Cyrillic ''а'' (azъ), or ''o'' with Greek ''ο'' (omicron), even if they look the same. -- [[User:Naive cynic|Naive cynic]] 00:26, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

== Merge of Sexual characteristics ==

Hi. You have commented on the talk page for [[Sexual characteristics]] that you feel the article should be merged with [[sex]]. I respectfully ask that you re-consider. Ignoring how often the term is used in connection to primary and secondary characteristics, it is widely used on its own [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=%22sexual+characteristics%22+-primary+-secondary&btnG=Search]. Also, keep in mind that [[User:AlexR]] has been using the sex-related articles to push a POV that involves the concept of [[heteronormativity]], and the merge with sex that he suggested appears to be a bid to justify any mention of sexual characteristics pointing a user to that article. His primary concerns to date with my edits to Sexaual characteristics (which I expanded from a stub he created) have been the non-human-centric view and the removal of the heteronormativity link. Sadly, I'm a proponent of the theory of heteronormativity, but I'm trying to be NPOV here.

Would you please, re-read what I wrote (the edit that was reverted, and which lives at [[User:Harmil/Sexual characteristics]]), and see if you think that ''that'' version deserves to be summarily redirected to a footnote in a general article about which hundreds, if not thousands of books have been written.

== consecutive parantheticals ==

At this [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jimmy_Wales&diff=22014911&oldid=22014854 link], you say:

:two consecutive parantheticals is quite awkward, and this one is easily avoidable

AFAIK, a nickname ought to be placed in parantheticals, i.e. Jimbo is placed after Jimmy Donal Wales this way Jimmy Donal Wales (also known as Jimbo). It makes it easy-to-understand.

Please reply in your User_Talk page.

Sincerely,

Colin

:Well, there's certainly no standard, since many articles place nicknames in quotation marks and some place them in commas (i.e. "Joseph Q. MacDuff, commonly known as Jo-Jo, ..."). In general, paranthetical statements are to be avoided in writing, and two in a row is particularly bad form, so I see no particular reason not to place the nickname in quotation marks. &mdash; [[User:Rdsmith4|Dan]] | [[User talk:Rdsmith4|Talk]] 14:33, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

== TOC ==

Hi Rd, just as a matter of interest (because it's not a huge deal to me), did you unprotect [[Daniel Pipes]] and then remove the TOCright? If you did, is there a reason for not wanting it to be like that? I've noticed you've removed a couple today, but I'm not familiar with whether they're regarded as a bad thing. Cheers, [[User:SlimVirgin|SlimVirgin]] ^{<font color="Purple">[[User_talk:SlimVirgin|(talk)]]</font>} 23:13, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

:Thanks for your reply, Dan. I suppose I wonder why it matters that the standard appearance is changed. Here's where I like to use TOC right (though not always; it depends on the length of the intro and second section): sometimes it's impossible to find a useable image for the right-hand top of the page where the subject is looking at the camera or toward the text. It's a fairly standard rule in publishing that faces should look toward the text or straight ahead, but never away from the text, because it's known that readers' eyes are drawn in the direction faces are pointing. If you can only find a pic with the face looking to the right (as you look at it, or to the left from the subject's point of view), then that image has to go on the left or it looks odd. With the image on the left, the top left side of the page becomes too heavy looking with the TOC on the left too. On those occasions, TOCright is very useful; as on [[Ludwig Wittgenstein]], for example, which is an example of a photograph that looked really strange on the right side as it meant he was looking right off the page. I don't know whether these are exceptions you'd be prepared to give some consideration to.

Hi, I noticed you uploaded [[:Image:Ian Fleming.jpg]] in 2004 and I'm wondering if you can perhaps give me an idea of where you might have gotten it so that I can add rationale for it. I added the image to ''[[Thunderball]]'' (a long time ago) because a good portion of the article discusses a lawsuit involving Fleming; however, because ''Thunderball'' is on FAC, some editors are requesting that we require rationale for all images used. I believe this image is fair-to-use, but am not sure of the source and therefore not entirely sure how to claim why it is fairuse. It may be public ___domain, I honestly don't know. This whole "rationale" business is all new to me so I really don't know what to write for this instance. Any help you may be able to give to me would be much appreciated though.

Problem with that is that it doesnt use the full with. The intro is a double column that centers differently than the lower category section. -[[User:Stevertigo|St]]|[[User_talk:Stevertigo|eve]] 22:38, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

You just placed a vandalism warning on this IPs talk page, but deleted all the previous ones that were there. Was that on purpose? [[User:OwenX|Owen&times;]] [[User talk:OwenX|<big>&#9742;</big>]] 01:33, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

== Popups tool ==

Congratulations on being made a bureaucrat! I thought you might like to know of a javascript tool that may help in your editing by giving easy access to many admin features. It's described at [[Wikipedia:Tools#Navigation_popups]]. The quick version of the installation procedure for admins is paste the following into [[User:{{PAGENAME}}/monobook.js]]:

<pre>

// [[User:Lupin/popups.js]] - please include this line

document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="'

+ 'http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Lupin/popups.js'

+ '&action=raw&ctype=text/javascript&dontcountme=s"></script>');

popupAdminLinks=true;

</pre>

Give it a try and [[User_talk:Lupin|let me know]] if you find any glitches or have suggestions for improvements! [[User:Lupin|L]][[User talk:Lupin|upin]] 02:29, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

== [[User:Korath/blockip.js|blockip.js]] ==

You asked me some months ago to make [[User:Korath/blockip.js|blockip.js]] work when editing user pages. This has been done. &mdash;[[User:Korath|Korath]] ([[User talk:Korath|Talk]]) 02:36, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
