Wiknic date change?
Hello, I proposed a date change for the Summer Wiknic. In March of this year you scheduled 22 June to be the date for your local Wiknic event.

I wished to move this because I with others are planning a national day for LGBT related editing, as June is designated by the US government as LGBT Pride Month and many other organizations have LGBT events this month. I am writing to you because of the schedule conflict with Wiki Loves Pride at the same time as the Wiknic, and to say that I proposed a change of date till July for the Wiknic which would affect you and your plans to be part of a national event on that day. You are under no obligation to change your date, and indeed, the national Wiknic date does not have to be changed if people do not want it, but if dates are flexible, then I would prefer the Wiknic moved till later so that I can attend both the WLP event and the Wiknic.

I proposed that the Wiknic be moved to July from now on, leaving June for LGBT events. July is designated by US industry as "National Picnic Month" and also there will be 4th of July events in the United States every year. I stated all this also on WP:WIKNIC's talk page.

Thoughts? Thanks a lot for organizing a Wiknic. Sorry about the late notice for this schedule change. I hope that what I am doing is not rudely disruptive. Right now, your event is the only scheduled Wiknic event, so you are the only person I am telling right now.  Blue Rasberry  (talk)  12:02, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Rose cultivars - assessment?
Hello Buaidh, I did some 'assessments' of rose cultivars for the WikiProject Horticulture and Gardening in the last few days, but while I did read the guidelines, I'd really like somebody to check them/help me to learn when a rose cultivar has enough information to be moved from stub to start or class C. Can you help or do you know who could? Oh - probably not really important, but my interest in roses comes more or less solely from taken responsibility for the category Rosa on commons - I don't know anything about growing the plants.

14,252 ft is correct, not 14,252. ft
Hello. Would you mind removing the stops/dots (.) you have added to many North American peak's elevations and prominence? Or I could go through them and do it as well? Besides it being a WP:MOSNUM thing, nobody puts stops/dots between the numeral and the unit that I am aware. Thank you. -- Racer X11 Talk to me Stalk me  00:40, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * The decimal points are there for a very specific reason. Template:Infobox mountain uses Template:Convert to convert units.  By default, Template:Convert rounds results when the input contains trailing zeros.  Adding a decimal point to an input integer stops this rounding.  For example:


 * yields 14000 ft
 * yields 14000. ft


 * I think Template:Infobox mountain should be modified to inhibit this rounding, although that may have unintended consequences. In the mean time, I add decimal points to input elevations and prominences.  Do you agree?   Buaidh  18:08, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

See also clutter
Your recent additions to the see also sections of various Colorado mountain articles seems excessive (example: Ute Mountain). Seems most of those have little relevance to Ute Mtn which is rather far from the Rockies. Plus the "see also" link to a category ... Anyway, has this all been discussed somewhere that I've missed? I tend to chop such excess when I see it, so would appreciate knowing if I'm out of line. Vsmith (talk) 22:44, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I've been using a standard See also section for all of the Colorado summit articles. The intent is to show what resources are available.  Since the See also section follows the main body of the article, I don't think this really contributes to distracting clutter.  As you observed, only some of this section is directly applicable to any given peak.  You can certainly modify these sections as you see fit.  Yours aye,  Buaidh  14:36, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Idea for improvement of Template:User humility
Hello Buaidh,

I use Template:User humility as a handy way to monitor both the growth of the English Wikipedia and my own small and insignificant count of articles created (themselves likely unnoticed and insignificant).

From the talk page Template talk:User humility it appears that you have contributed improvements to this handy user box, so I am going to go ahead and suggest an additional improvement here:

Just like an entirely different user box with 'Autopatrolled rights' can be used on the English Wikipedia, but for an indication of such rights on a different language Wikipedia, I think it could help User pages describe the users, if the humility box could take an additional, optional parameter to indicate the count of created articles, the total articles and their fraction for a language different from English. The non-trivial part for this to work would seem to be getting the total article count for that other language.

For example on the Danish Wikipedia my article creation count is a quarter of my English count, but due to the Danish Wikipedia being much smaller my 'humility' fraction there is still 6 times higher (yet still utterly insignificant - and the articles themselves likely even more so).

If this is not the right place to make this suggestion, then I would appreciate some help in where to go next.

Thanks - and with humility, Lklundin (talk) 15:02, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Colorado communities
I noticed a change to Burlington, Colorado and communites in the same county. Was there some type of change that came along to make these changes. I thought we are suppose to use the COMMON NAME, instead of the legal name. The name at the top of the infobox should match the title of the article. The format of the article names in USA is already fixed per old discussions. • Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 19:35, 24 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Template:Infobox settlement uses the official name of the settlement unless it is missing, otherwise it uses the article title. Articles about municipalities should use the common name as the article title and the official name of the municipality as the infobox title.  Yours aye,  Buaidh  21:12, 24 December 2014 (UTC)


 * Lots of articles set the infobox field "settlement_type" to "City" (or Town or whatever), thus the word city is shown twice at the top of the box, which is redundant and looks kind of silly. I have to run, I'll be back later.  •  Sbmeirow  •  Talk  • 21:19, 24 December 2014 (UTC)


 * In Colorado, settlement_type will be one of the following:

 * Home Rule Municipality
 * Statutory City
 * Statutory Town
 * Territorial Charter Municipality
 * Unincorporated Census Designated Place
 * Unincorporated Community
 * Other states and countries will have other municipal designations. Yours aye,  Buaidh  21:33, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
