Userbox of time
hello! i am aGastya living in India, and i wish to get an userbox for the current time. So how shall i create it as we are 5hr 30 min ahead of UTC? Thanks! aGastya 05:02, 9 February 2015 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgastyaC (talk • contribs)

The template I use acts oddly with the half-hour adjustment. For some reason, it seems to reverse the adjustment to UTC, but I was able to make it work like this:

Just enter your city name or whatever you want it to say in place of "your location" and that should work for you. LarryJeff (talk) 15:47, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you very much! It worked :) but i wonder why (-ve)? -aGastya  — Preceding unsigned comment added by AgastyaC (talk • contribs) 16:38, 9 February 2015 (UTC)

Minnesota Wild
The current season entry has been deleted from the team article infoboxes of all the teams that have either missed the 2015 playoffs or have been eliminated from 2015 playoffs. GoodDay (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. I don't follow hockey team articles closely, just happened across this one while looking up something semi-related. I disagree with removing the current season link just because the season is done for that team, for the reason stated in my edit summary, as well as the fact that many/most readers of the general team article would benefit from an easy link to the team's most recent season. However, if it's being done across the board and accepted by editors who follow this group of articles more closely than I, I'm not going to worry about it. Again, thanks for the info.

 * No prob. GoodDay (talk) 17:17, 8 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I've added Off-season links to the infoboxes of the teams-in-question. This should be more helpful for readers. GoodDay (talk) 17:42, 8 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Actually, I don't see that as particularly helpful. That's just linking to an article explaining the general concept of an off-season; it really doesn't relate to a particular team's article. But, I'm happy to wait and see what others think. LarryJeff (talk) 17:51, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
 * My changes over the last few weeks, have all been reverted by another WP:HOCKEY member. So, I guess the whole topic is now moot :( GoodDay (talk) 18:51, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Scenarios
Hello,

Thanks for doing a fantastic job on the Euro 2016 scenarios, and I want to let you know that Serbia is eliminated after CAS reversed the Serbian's decision and awarded it to Albania: UEFA_Euro_2016_qualifying_Group_I

I hope it's ok since I posted it on an external website whom I frequented: http://www.theawaystand.co.uk/community/topic/8024-international-football-discussion/?p=203698

 * Thanks for the update, I'll get to work updating that section. And thanks for the feedback, it's good to know others are getting something out of my work, even if we're not allowed to post the scenarios on the main articles anymore.


 * By the way, I would appreciate if you checked my update. I did it in a bit of a hurry. LarryJeff (talk) 20:50, 27 August 2015 (UTC)


 * It looks fantastic, thanks. I'll be sure to check it again a week before the next matchday to update the scenarios for Euros, cheers :) Hisakiwa21 (talk) 23:23, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Scenarios on your sandbox
Hello, LarryJeff. I found your page User:LarryJeff/sandbox/scenarios. It's very good information. Very interesting to read and analyse it. Thank you. But I found one mistake (in my opinion) in scenarios. 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage Group B. You wrote: Napoli win the group if they win and Benfica and Dynamo Kyiv draw. Is it correct? GAV80 (talk) 17:38, 29 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for catching that! I've corrected to read they will advance to round of 16 instead of win the group. LarryJeff (talk) 14:43, 1 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello, LarryJeff. Please, check that: 2016–17 UEFA Champions League group stage Group E. CSKA Moscow eliminated from Champions League and Europa League if they lose/draw and Bayer Leverkusen win/draw. GAV80 (talk) 18:29, 4 November 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks again! I fixed it, just had to change Bayer to Tottenham. LarryJeff (talk) 15:39, 7 November 2016 (UTC)
