User talk:Jerem43/Archive 8

Actroid addition
Look, we are discussing that very thin in discussion. The image you are adding is indeed free, but it has absolutely no citable connection to the article - it is giving weight to a very tiny portion of the episode in question, and is deleterious to a greater understanding of the article. might I ask you to please refrain from re-adding the image until the discussion is complete in article talk? It might very well be resolved that any mention of the robots' models is simply a grand pile of rubbish. Unless you have solid, cited information that states that the robot models were intrinsic to an understanding of the episode, let's discuss the mater. Okay? - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  04:31, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

CfD nomination of Category:Foodservice navbox templates
I have nominated foodservice navbox templates for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:00, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Dr Pepper jingle
I appreciate your efforts in cleaning up articles. I don't think, however, it is necessary (or even a good idea) to clean up the grammar in jingle lyrics. "Wouldn't you like to be a pepper" is not sung "Would not you like to be a pepper". Sing it out loud and listen to how it sounds. :) Ward3001 (talk) 15:42, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

List of Indonesian dishes
Hi, Jeremy, if you can spare a moment, would you step in a discussion on the talk page? Yesterday, I moved the article from [List of Indonesian cuisine]] to the current title, and add a table with images for each entry. That was to make the title consistent with other food-list articles. However one editor objects my editing, so since you're knowledgeable of MoS for cuisine articles, could you give your input there? Thanks.--Caspian blue 04:53, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks!, you demonstrated the difference between dishes and cuisine very well that I did not clearly grasp. I hope this small dispute end by your meditation. :) --Caspian blue 05:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Food and drink
I beg your pardon. There were several categories with red-links that I repaired, several 'catmore1' red-links that I repaired and more that I don't need to detail here. If you could tell me what needs to be done, I'm more than willing to help you out, but you are going to have to change your tone to a more collaborative one. --Funandtrvl (talk) 05:34, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I forgive you. :)
 * On WPFOOD, there are 10 task forces, are there anymore F&D projects that were deprecated and are now only a taskforce that still have categories to clean up? Which ones are still being used, like WP Ice Cream (or not)?
 * One more problem I spotted, Category:Food and drink articles needing photo is currently empty, because the project template doesn't have a parameter set to fill it, like "needs-photo". Is the project still wanting to use this category and parameter (which would need to added), or isn't it better to use "req photo" template, which seems to be used more often? Anyways, it's late, so I'm signing off now. Please let me know what 'task' I can do for the project that would be of help. Thanks. --Funandtrvl (talk) 06:20, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the cookies and milk, always the best snack food!! --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:22, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * One more question, most WPs and several of the WPFood children use Category:WikiProject Food and drink articles. I'm suggesting that the "by quality, importance", etc. get placed into this category, and sorted under "Articles" in the main cat. It cuts the clutter on the main cat page. I'd be happy to do this, just wanted to advise you! --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:41, 8 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello again! Just wanted to alert you to a very helpful shortcut for tagging talk pages. If the "namespace" of the talk page is one of the following: Category, File (previously Image), Portal, Project or Template, the WPBM template now reads that "namespace" and automatically categorizes the talk page correctly and efficiently for quality and importance. See: Thus, you don't need to add the parameter class to WPFOOD, the work is done for you, like magic. :) --Funandtrvl (talk) 01:03, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Question-What is the status of WP:SPIRITS? It is listed on this template: Food projects as a child project, but it isn't under any F&D WP categories or linked to WPFOOD, is it? Just wondering why it's not listed, when the other child projects are. Can you fill me in on the story? --Funandtrvl (talk) 03:50, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Concerning Category:Drink infobox templates, I believe there is a problem here with your revert. The parent category that should be referenced in this situation is Category:Infobox templates. The Category:Drink infobox templates is not categorized anywhere under Category:Infobox templates; however, Category:Food infobox templates is listed as a sub-category. It would follow that the drink infobox templates cat. should either be placed as a sub-category of the food infobox templates cat. or directly into Category:Society and social science infobox templates, otherwise it can't be specifically located as an "infobox" category.
 * Please explain your reasons for not including it in an "infobox" category. --Funandtrvl (talk) 05:09, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I realize that the TFs use the importance factors from the parent and the WPBM instructions say that the pass-thru isn't needed. However, if the pass-thru truly isn't needed, then why is the line "(marked as Top-importance)" not showing up for the Foodservice task force when it isn't passed thru, (see: ), but when it is passed-thru, that line is displayed, (see: )? Certainly, that pass-thru is triggering something?? --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * IMPORTANT-something is blanking out the /doc page on the main template for WPFOOD. I can't see right away what's doing it, could you take a look? --Funandtrvl (talk) 15:24, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Just noticed that it has a hidden cat Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded, I would suggest to use only 1 template example, with all the TFs displayed because with all the different banners display, I got lost halfway down the page. Some good examples: Template:WPBRAZIL, template:WPMILHIST.
 * More things to do--
 * 1) create cat:Coffee and tea articles (or something like it) and cat:WikiProject Bartending articles, add these to WPFOOD, so you can see which articles are tagged as such.
 * 2) Organize order of WPs and TFs on WPFOOD template to match hierarchy, i.e., cheeses, foodservice, herbs, then the other WPs in alpha. order, except for the relevant TFs that should immediately follow their WP. I can work on this, later on. --Funandtrvl (talk) 15:45, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Template:AbQ
Please see: Template talk:ArticlesByQuality, thanks. --Funandtrvl (talk) 16:06, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * When using the format parameter, is there a way to make the WP and Refresh buttons in bold font by default, like the other examples? Also, did you get the message above about the problems w/doc pg for t:wpfood? --Funandtrvl (talk) 16:48, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see the fixes for AbQ, although I'm still unsure about how to use it. :) Anyways, for the WPFOOD/doc page, I don't think that removing some of the banner display examples would defeat the purpose, in fact, it would make the instructions much easier to read and follow (in my humble opinion) and you wouldn't have to pg down 3-4 times to read it all. What you could do, is have one banner display with all the WPs and TFs listed, in the part to be transcluded, and keep all the other examples on the "banner" subpage, but within noninclude tags, and put a "see also" into the part to be transcluded, (e.g. "for further info/examples, see: (the banner pg)"). That way, it won't overwhelm the /doc pg and cause it to blank out. Just a suggestion! --Funandtrvl (talk) 17:08, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Edit summary typo
No, unfortunately, there isn't. If you leave a note somewhere about what your edit summary meant, that'll suffice; otherwise, I don't think anyone will really notice and/or take offense at it. One (talk) 20:51, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Burger King/sandbox article
With respect to the Burger King/sandbox article the guideline at WP:SUBPAGES does not allow it. Can you move it to Talk or User namespace? Cheers. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 00:32, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Need your help at WP:WINE
It looks like the project is missing the WikiProject Wine/Assessment page, and the corresponding ASSESSMENT_LINK in the Wine template. Do you have a "boiler-plate" form for Food and drink Assessment pages? Thanks. --Funandtrvl (talk) 19:41, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help! --Funandtrvl (talk) 01:32, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Portal:Wine
The big WINE word on top of the portal made the portal look messy, it doesn't look nice at all. Can you help me to change the it to other font type. Or maybe a simple PNG or SVG transparent image can be created to replace them. It looks really horrible.(X Arteyu ?  Blame it on me !  06:13, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Template:Project information
Need your help in fixing a few errors in the "cat" parameters on the Project information template. It doesn't work, not only because the instructions list "cat" as the parameter, and the actual para. is "category" (needs a 2nd choice to be put in); and it's not set up to link it to a category, like the "stub-cat" is above. Also, how is the "article" parameter supposed to work? It doesn't seem to link to anything either. Additionally, on the WPFOOD template /doc, when is the "wine" parameter able to be used, as it's still in the "don't use" section; however, the instructions have it in there and it does work, actually, which is only more confusing to any reader. Thanks! --Funandtrvl (talk) 01:49, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

 * PS- Have you figured out how to delete 26-50, if they're empty? I'd have to review the template instructions, but it's late, so maybe you've done it already? Thanks, have a nice holiday weekend (U.S.)?! --Funandtrvl (talk) 06:58, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for updating that! Noticed a red-link problem for the /Assessment page off the right panel at WP:F&D, you may need to fix the template again. Anyways, take care! --Funandtrvl (talk) 07:59, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello again, WPMIX needs its instructions updated to reflect the parameter for the "bar" TF/WP. Also, why so many spaces in the "small" syntax example? It looks better if you use only 1 space or less. Also, the words "bartending" and "mixed drinks" are both re-directs, maybe they should be piped? Just a suggestion! --Funandtrvl (talk) 08:22, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Also noted, how many WPMIX articles are tagged incorrectly with "focus=bar", like talk:Bartender? Is there an easy way to tell? --Funandtrvl (talk) 08:34, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Regarding Template:Food assessments, please check What Links Here first, or we'll be fixing red-links again on the WP TF pages. Thanks. --Funandtrvl (talk) 18:09, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem, thanks for pointing out the ghosted links. That is really weird!! :) --Funandtrvl (talk) 23:42, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Coca Cola Template
I am curious as to why you reverted the diambiguation edits made by myself and others on Template:Coca-Cola brands. Many of those links refer to completely irrelevant articles (such as Poms, an article on the British, and Alhambra, a Spanish tourist attraction). The WP policy you referred to in your edit summary is a redlink. Andyo2000 (talk) 04:51, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Disregard - found the policy, point taken. Andyo2000 (talk) 05:02, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Still, instead of simply undoing other editors' work, which represents their time and effort, perhaps you could have taken a moment to verify whether the links you were reverting to were valid articles. --R'n'B (call me Russ) 17:49, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

WPMIX & Bartending stub template
Can't seem to find a stub template for WP:BAR, could you point it out or make one up for us? Also, even though categories have been created for Bartending...needing attention, nding infobox, & with comments, etc., the WPMIX template doesn't seem to pass these thru and populate those categories w/o someone creating add'l "NOTE" parameters for the WPMIX template, like "bar-attention" or "bar-needs-infobox", isn't that true? --Funandtrvl (talk) 02:08, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Howdy all - Just a bit of clarification. Stub templates are not linked to or reserved for any particular WikiProject, thus bartending-stub is not meant for use in an assessment capacity, which seems to be what your project already has in WPMIX. I see that someone has restored the stub type without discussing it at WP:SFD, so I will have to post it over there for discussion. Please feel free to pitch in. Cheers, Pegship (talk) 22:12, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Template:WPFOOD
When looking at the WPFOOD template, the "pubs" TF parameter is missing from: Image_left, and the attention_cat, infobox_cat and comments_cat switches, and the needs-photo switch. Since it is listed in the Assessment_link section, shouldn't the "pubs" TF parameter be in the other places too? --Funandtrvl (talk) 16:06, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all your work on the WPFOOD template!! And the switches are just brilliant! You should have those added to the main WPBM template, like in the hook or customized section, or at the least, add the info to an advanced features section of the WPBM/doc page. I'm sure the rest of the projects that are interested in customizing their banners would greatly appreciate it! --Funandtrvl (talk) 21:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * One interesting observation at Talk:Drinking establishment, when several TF and WP tags are included in the WPFOOD template, it seems to default to the Beer portal and Beer articles needing attention. Is there a way to force it to go to Bartending articles needing attention, instead of the default Beer articles needing attention? Also, how will adding "drink=yes" change it? I assume one could add the WPMIX template with the bar parameter. Just wondering! --Funandtrvl (talk) 06:21, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Barkeeping and Stub category vs. stub class
Hi. You probably won't like the fact that I agreed with Grutness about stub-sorting and stub-class in bartending, mixed drinks, etc. The two are conceptually related (a short, incomplete article), but the definition of the two is different, how they are identified is different, and the purpose of each template is different. I won't rehash the details here, but I left my response on the discussion page. Thanks for alerting me. Regardless of any confusion over that, I wholeheartedly agree that the category should not be deleted. It's vital to helping to identify barkeeping stubs, which is of great interest to WP:BAR and WP:BARB. Without that, it would be very difficult to do our work. If others don't see that, and we see a lot of consensus building to delete, then let's at least work for a compromise of downmerging (really mixed drinks are more of a subset of bartending articles than vice versa) them into mixed drink stubs. I totally disagree with occupations being the end point of a post-deletion action. Might as well give up on trying to do anything with bartending stubs if that happens, and let them rot in stub purgatory. :-) Of course, I am being facetious, but it's probably not far from what would happen. The focus needs to be on the reasons for keeping the stub sorting template and category (since that's where the discussion is) due to its importance and how it is likely to (or already does) meet the criteria. Any added benefit that the WikiProjects may gain in relation toward assessment is simply a happy coincidence. The documentation seems like a trivial thing, but if people want something to gripe about, I'd say let them delete the docs as long as they keep the template. It would be better to have a few things tagged with the wrong stub tag by accident than dozens of them due to a poor decision reached through consensus. Have a good weekend! &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” ) 07:07, 30 May 2009 (UTC)


 * "Will said what I was trying to say but I did not properly word it." LOL. That's because I think I used about 10× as many words. At least some of them (you'd think) would be the right ones to use. :-) Thanks for alerting me to this discussion. It's kind of a FUBAR sort of a situation having (apparently) never been properly proposed, then deleted, then recreated (again without discussion), so there's no telling how this might turn out in the end. Whatever happens, we'll make it all work in the end. I really need to get back to editing on Bartending, and then Grutness and others would see how I used it in the past. Too bad that real life is getting in the way of my editing. Oh, wait. Real life is what pays my Internet bill. Dang. :-D &mdash; Will scrlt ( “Talk” ) 12:33, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Template:Alcoholic beverages
In this reversion of my edit you say that "This template appears on many stubs and the way you rewrote it overwhelms them". Could you cite a few examples please so I can see what you mean? Thanks. TimR (talk) 09:45, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Historic places in Framingham, Massachusetts
I've redirected this page to the Essex County NRHP list for the following reasons: Furthermore, these are probably the same reasons that other editors have redirected it. Please do not continue to revert this move: there's no good policy-based reason to keep it as is. Nyttend (talk) 04:07, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There's no need to list the NRHP sites here, since there's a list of them elsewhere.
 * Virtually no content (i.e. other than tables, templates, See Alsos, etc.) appears on this page other than NRHP data.
 * There's no apparent criterion for inclusion on this page, except for the National Register status that guarantees their being listed elsewhere.
 * As a settlement over 350 years old, the number of places that could be deemed "historic" is truly vast, but no definition of "historic" — let alone a reliable source to say why other sites aren't historic — is given by this page.
 * Consequently, the entire list — again, aside from the forking NRHP data — is dependent on your point of view, thus violating a core policy. Why is the civic league building included, but not the building across the street?
 * Moreover, the page has absolutely no context: we're not told what Framingham is, or where it is, or what register we're talking about, etc.

Ok, I'm so sorry. Otourly and me didn't know that a rounded template was already exist. Please, excuse me for my modifications. But Otourly and me prefer when the corners are rounded in portals.

Hogi Yogi
Hi. :) Thanks for catching the copyright concerns with this article. I'm thinking, though, that you may have misunderstood the use of the "temporary" page recommended by the template. It is for starting an article from scratch, not for pasting the current contents of the article, including the copyvio. The point is that the copyvio must be removed, and sometimes this requires deleting the article and replacing it with new content. If the copyvio is in the temp article, it would need to be deleted, too. In this case, I haven't finished investigating, but I believe I can find a clean version in the article's history to revert to, deleting all subsequent. Otherwise, I may be able to write a new stub. I'm afraid, though, that the version you placed at Talk:Hogi Yogi/Temp has had to be deleted because it contained copyrighted text. Thanks again for noting the issue so that it might be addressed. --Moonriddengirl (talk)

Your skills are needed!
Hey Jeremy! You've helped the Wine Project out so much before, I figured we could use some of your technical coding & organizational skills. It seems that issues relating to winery articles are becoming more and more frequent. (Take a look at WT:WINE where something relating to a winery article accounts for nearly 80% of the page). I think it would be very useful to the project to have a centralized WikiProject Wine/Winery Article Noticeboard with sections for WP:COI, WP:POV/WP:ADVERT, on going disputes/edit wars and notability issues. In the case of COI, POV and edit war issues, this can serve as a "watch/to do list" for project members to watchlist the articles and take clean up action if needed. In the case of notability, project members would have a centralized location to discuss if it should be prodded, AfD or if can be improved. Maybe it should include the WikiProject Deletion sorting/Wine transclusion for winery AfDs. It would be helpful to have template on the Wine Project Talk Page that would be updated with the number of winery articles in each "issues" section (COI/POV/Disputes/Notability) to keep project members informed of the "backlog" of winery issues at the noticeboard. What do you think? Is this something that you would have the time or interest in taking a crack at? AgneCheese/Wine 06:51, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your feedback on the Tropicana Products page and the grade in the WikiProject Food and drink category.

Momo (food)
Hi, I need your help in sorting out an issue about external links to recipes in the article Momo (food). Please look here.

 * Steak sandwich
 * Cheesesteak
 * Italian beef
 * French dip

Thanks for your support. I'm just curious where you think this fits in. BillyTFried (talk) 19:14, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

 HA! Nice garbage can pic! But I wouldn't exactly call any of this quality food. Greesey fried chopped fatty steak and Cheese Wiz? It's certainly not fine dining. But anyway, my concern is that a French Dip is actually considered a Roast Beef sandwich, rather than a Steak sandwich. And you know more about food than me, but I am not sure if there is a substantial difference, or even if the meat used is really genuine "Roast Beef". But if Roast Beef sandwiches do fall under Steak Sandwiches, then I would think that would include the type that Arby's and Roy Rogers Restaurants sell as well as French Dips, No? Presently there is no article for Roast beef sandwich at all. BillyTFried (talk) 20:35, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Cincy chili
I've always been a big fan of our work to fast food articles and your tips on new BK items, but I have to respectfully disagree on the "merge" suggestion on Cincy chili. I agree with the massive de-crapification that you've done to the article, but it needs cleanup and sourcing from someone with access to adequate sources.

Heck, I'm half-tempted to send you a can so you can taste the difference yourself. :)  young  american  (wtf?) 00:36, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Adoption Project
Jeremy, I added some importance classes to the Adoption Stats table. But now it shows up too large on the Adoption project page. Could you show me how to reduce its size in the panel view? Thanks.

Jeremy, please do not change the scheme for assessments. It has been adopted from the Mil. History project and is useful. Please undelete the pages you requested for speedy delete. Thanks.Tobit2 (talk) 16:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again Jeremy for enhancing the project. As for the A, B, and C, and Start articles criteria: more specific criteria were adopted to make assessment easier. The standard criteria are much too general, making consistent assessment more difficult. Perhaps the team working on the overall standards for Wikipedia would like to consider the specific criteria adopted here. I can raise the issue on their Talk page.Tobit2 (talk) 15:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Listing merger proposals

Proposed merges and question on Capicola vs. Coppa
Ok, I'll check them out. (proposed merges) By the way, on Wikipedia Capicola and Coppa are treated as synonymous, but I am still finding places that actually serve them as two different things. On the talk page for it I posted a photo I took a while back where they actually explain the difference, and now I ran into another place the other day and I took a pic you can see here. I can only imagine the places serving them are writing on their boards exactly what is says on the package it comes in, but I dunno if that means much. I think at the very least the article should address this is some way. What are your thoughts? Thanks. BillyTFried (talk) 19:09, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Message regarding Natick Collection
Well then you might as well add "The" to the Shoppers World article, that is also a name of a mall yet that title isn't "The Shoppers World".

You should also read up on the policies, it is NOT commercial advertising, it is proper English grammar.

I am a university student studying English and I have asked my professor regarding this issue, he says that the article "The" should NOT proceed a proper noun such as this one. It is a name of a mall and adding the article "The" isn't correct.

Like my professor told me, you wouldn't add the article "The" to store names, movie theatres, et cetera, so why would you for a mall? When we start saying "Let's go to THE AMC" or "Let's go to THE Sears" or "Let's go to THE Shopper's World" or "Let's go to THE Stop & Shop", then you can add the "The" but until then, please follow proper English grammar and drop the article, or add "The" to the hundreds of thousands of other Wiki pages for stores, malls, et cetera. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.76.13.99 (talk) 22:51, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * English is not a highly structured language like French, it is a living language that has certain peculiarities that are not present in other language. It is perfectly okay to make a grammatically correct statement like this: I am going to catch the new Harry Potter movie over at the AMC in Framingham, then go home an throw a steak on the grill that I bought at the Stop & Shop on Old Connecticut Path. So yes, you can use an article in describing proper names. You would never use a "the" with Shoppers' world because of the nature of the name in question. There is no adjective in the name, it is a possessive name Shoppers '  and its object of possession World. As I state below, in this instance Natick isn't a noun, but an adjective modifying the noun Collection. It is similar to the term red Ford where red isn't a noun but a modifier of the word Ford.


 * This is a stylistic guideline, not a rule as you are trying to say. As such, trying to change this format just because you don't like that particular style is bad form. Further, the three major newspapers in the region, The Boston Globe, The Boston Herald and The MetroWest Daily News, all use this guideline in their articles about the subject and I will defer to their knowledge of the English language over that of a WPI college student.


 * --Jeremy (blah blah • I did it!) 03:40, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Saw this discussion linked through your RFA and I just wanted to clarify, it's not exactly accurate to suggest that French is not a "living language". While it has a simplistic reputation for being "highly structured", French (and almost every other language) is just as living and rapidly-changing as English.
 * As for the article dispute.... either one is acceptable. Personally I think "the Natick Collection" sounds better, but on the other hand the mall itself just uses "Natick Collection". Boston Business Journal uses "the"  and the Boston Globe doesn't ; it's really just an issue of personal preference. r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 15:53, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for that, my whole point has been that it is a preference and there is no need to change the grammar to the version he prefers based the company's version. My original point to him was based on our policies about common names and business adspeak. I should have been more tactful about it. The other thing is I have found that the Globe uses both. The business section uses the article while the MetroWest section doesn't, I guess whomever is editing makes the difference. I understand the French is a living language as well, but unlike English, we don't have a governmental body that sets the standards for English. Additionally, the French standards body is a bit of an Anglophobe, taking English adopted words and substituting their own version just because the adopted word is English in origin.

Stub template image sizing
I'm confused about the reverts here and here. While WP:STUB says icons should preferably [be] no more than about 40px in size, it does not mandate that as a minimum: asbox specifically sets 40x30 to allow for wider images to be 40px without causing tall images to force the template to be abnormally tall. The tool stub template is now over 70px tall, for instance. Unless you're following some deeper guideline here, these should both be reverted until such point as better images are found which don't require a big step-up in the template line height because the images are in portrait aspect.
