About commemorative coins of Ireland
Hi buddy, you will have to do a lot of work if you are planning to keep both articles (Commemorative coins of Ireland and Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Ireland)) updated as new Irish commemorative coins are minted. I think is a great work for the pound coins on the first article, since they will no longer be minted. However, for the euro part, I would suggest you put all your efforts in the second article, and create minimum information on the first one. Similar to what you've done at Euro gold and silver commemorative coins under Ireland. Just an opinion... Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:11, 10 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Kevin, you are putting a lot of efforts on these articles, and the results are impressive, thanks for contributing to the idea! I will re-view the Ireland article today for sure; I think there is some HTML proof that needs to be done, in order to improve the layout.  See the results (once you wake up), let me know what you think, and if applicable, let's do the rest for the France pages.
 * BTW, The Austria article was resolved as KEEP, so I will work on it as well to change the wordings to be completely in compliance. Miguel.mateo (talk) 22:54, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm up atm trying to finish the France pages, I thank you for re-viewing the code in the Ireland article cause I'm still quite new at the code.Kevin hipwell (talk) 22:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Layout question
Hi Kevin, did you get my note asking about the opinion of changing the width of all image cells to 330px so the coins look one next to the other? Is a lot of work for all the current articles, but I can automate it. And hey, congrats on Finalnd startup! As you can see I have almost no progress in Belgium due to all the work that I am still doing in Austria to remove the copyvio and create a lot of internal links. Miguel.mateo (talk) 22:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I have been looking at the Austria article because the width of the img cell is currently not restricted, i have noticed that IE Places the images next to one another and FF places images one above the other. I bring this up because it has allowed the ease for me to look at the article using both browsers and compare each version, as a result i have concluded that in my opinion having the images one above the other looks better. You may not agree with this opinion and I understand how much these articles mean to you however, before you decide to make any changes I recommend you try the above mentioned comparison if you have not yet done so.

I think your progress in Belgium is coming along nicely and your Austria article is well referenced, I fear I may have similar issues to your "Image copyright problem" because of the France pages being moved.

I am interested in knowing more about how you can automate changes, such a tool will come in very useful for adding such things as (mm) after coin diameter and (g) after weight, is this tool freely available for use or is it a specific program you have.Kevin hipwell (talk) 00:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * This is not a dictatorship, it is democracy, so let's leave it like you suggested. My main concerned is that long articles like Austria, there is so much whitespacing if the images are one on top of the other, but no big deal.  A compromise situation would be we do all articles like Austria, where IE shows the coins horizontally alligned and FF shows them vertically alligned.


 * I have a programming background, so to automate what I do is get the whole text of the page, pass it through one of the programs I can built and paste it back with all the changes. Not sure if there are tools out there to help you with what you suggested.


 * I will take a look at the France pages later and will let you know if there is anything that need to be done. Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:39, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

France images, potential copyright issue
Kevin, you will have the same issue since in the description of the images there is no reference to the real article where the images are used. In the Austria case, it was a simpler change description for all the images to the same description. For France it will be different, since there is at least seven articles. I would suggest you try talking to user:Carnildo, who helped me with the Austria problem, maybe he can help out. Good luck! Miguel.mateo (talk) 02:01, 17 April 2008 (UTC)


 * BTW, did you do anything about this issue? Just curious ... Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:43, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check


 * That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
 * That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Building references back to your articles.
Hi Kevin,

You've done a lot of progress men, without your help we would still have only Austria and a portion of Belgium :)

I was checking the stats of all the articles and there is a major gap between Austria and the others. I do not think that this is because there is more interest on Austria, but because I am building references back to Austrian page all over Wikipedia. Check my contributions, you will find odd pages that has nothing to do with numismatics, then check them out and you will see what I am talking about. I would suggest you to start doing the same, although a painful process, one a coin a day will do. You will notice how the stats of the articles will start increasing.

Thanks,Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:06, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Cheers! I will do that, I'm currently referencing the G&S (Ireland) article, after I will begin to use your reference back idea for that article. Thanks!!.Kevin hipwell (talk) 01:17, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * What I usually do is create references in the article to those extra pages, an immediately change those pages. Taht way I will not foget :) Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:36, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

you forgot to reference back to satellite :P Kevin hipwell (talk) 01:40, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Check the history if you want :) I did reference it, and create a reference in the Satellite page.  But yesterday somebody deleted it and they put a reason which agree, so I removed the reference to Satellite from the Austrian article, just  a few minutes ago, as 'revenge' Miguel.mateo (talk) 01:42, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

LOL!Kevin hipwell (talk) 01:43, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Time for me to learn from you
Kevin, Thanks for the compliment with the award, and now is time to pay back ;)
 * 1. How did you do the archiving? I did search but found nothing helpful ...
 * 2. Can anyone put any star to anyone? Any rules?  Just curious ...

Thanks again, Miguel

I used the "Move procedure" on this help-page to archive my talk pages.

I don't think there are any rules to the stars they're like userboxes but ones that you put on other peoples pages to give recognition of their work. A list of barnstars that you can give are on this page. Hope that helps.Kevin hipwell (talk) 10:02, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Spain)
Sorry about that, I was a bit quick off the line. I added the clean-up tag due to the lack of images, and the unwieldly look the open code gives to the article. Julesn84 (talk) 01:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
