Infobox monastery
Thanks for the fix. Are you up to enabling pushpin maps too, similar to infobox church? I've added Wikiprojects to the talk page of the Certosa di San Giacomo article. Feel free to add, amend or correct as necessary. Mjroots (talk) 18:43, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * It's working now. Weirdly enough, the push pin map code I've lifted from Template:Infobox building (it seemed easier to understand) only works correctly with decimal latitudes and longitudes. Don't know what the problem is with degree lat. But it's a start. --Morn (talk) 19:32, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I noticed the lat/long problem on preview, so switched to decimal. I've swapped the map to the Kent one. Mjroots (talk) 19:38, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * ....aaand back to degrees. :-) Now it works miraculously. Perhaps the old, wrong map (where I had mistyped "long" as "lon") was cached by the server? --Morn (talk) 19:54, 15 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I've expanded the Tonbridge Priory article. Maybe you'd cast an eye over it. Mjroots (talk) 20:10, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I've been following your rapid progress via my watchlist. The economic material is interesting but perhaps a bit distracting in the general history section, as it doesn't connect very much with the political and religious history. I'd suggest creating a separate economic section. Here's a draft where the content is split into smaller sections: User:Morn/Drafts. --Morn (talk) 23:29, 16 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the delay in replying. If you think the article can be improved by the split, then be bold and do it. My main concern is that material should always be verifiable by references, even it that meand additional uses of an existing reference. Mjroots (talk) 09:04, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

Hey there
I create a lot of vector maps. I am curious, the map you did for Capri...how do you get the terrain in there? I am using Adobe Illustrator. Any tips are much appreciated. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjcaesar (talk • contribs) 06:13, 21 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I used the Python script on the page to create a shaded PNG relief image from NASA data and clipped that to the island outline in Inkscape. (Obviously, because it's such a tiny island, it's pretty easy to get the terrain alignment right, esp. if you use Google terrain view as a reference.) Actually, the script creates two PNGs: a shaded relief and an elevation map. Hope this helps! --Morn (talk) 11:26, 21 November 2010 (UTC)


 * So, the shade is not scalable? As it's a "placed" piece of artwork? That's my issue, I'd like to have something scalable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjcaesar (talk • contribs) 02:36, 23 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure what you mean by "not scalable". Of course you can move around and resize the shading PNG in Inkscape and in fact you have to do this to get it aligned properly to the coast outline. You can manipulate it like any other SVG element. Or am I missing something here? --Morn (talk) 07:08, 23 November 2010 (UTC)


 * P.S. You could trace the bitmap in Inkscape, but there's little reason to. I think if you inspect the SVGs you will find all shaded relief maps on Wikipedia use a blurred bitmap for the shading layer. That's just how it's done. --Morn (talk) 11:50, 23 November 2010 (UTC)


 * I was under the impression that a bitmap, being a raster image, would not scale like a vector image. That is to say, if I had a map and exported it out to a size larger than the size of the bitmap graphic which I am using to represent terrain, would it not lose some integrity? Pixelate? --Cjcaesar (talk) 07:18, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


 * PNGs in SVG files will not get pixelated but get interpolated, so they look blurry, but that isn't really a problem for terrain. After all, the elevation data has a limited resolution (say, one point every 30 m or so), so there's no fine detail in the data to begin with, especially for a small-area map like Capri. And the PNG layer in the Capri map you see is already upscaled by the SVG renderer from its actual resolution. The Python script gave me a bitmap at a resolution of 96x52 pixels for the Capri area, then I used cubic interpolation in Gimp to get a 1200x650 bitmap and finally the SVG renderer will do the rest of the necessary scaling (presumably using faster but inferior linear interpolation).


 * Of course you could do it like Google terrain view and first interpolate your elevation data (e.g. with kriging or spline interpolation methods) to create a fake high-resolution terrain. But that is more a question of data processing, not of vector vs bitmap. I.e., if you want your terrain to look very sharp, you somehow have to create a very dense elevation grid across your map area first. Whatever your data grid is determines how blurry the resulting terrain will look, but the scaling of the SVG itself will not make much of a difference. No matter how you embed the terrain layer, the scaling method in the SVG will not make the terrain look sharper when you scale it up. So there is some benefit in creating a larger bitmap for the SVG only because external scalers (such as Gimp) are better at faking high resolution from a low-resolution bitmap than simple linear interpolation. --Morn (talk) 12:33, 24 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I seem to have developed a decent system for rendering the bitmaps based on what you've said. My question now is alignment...do you find it easier to align pieces of a map at a time (the overlays, that is, broken into parts)? I have a feeling it would be easier to do it that way than trying to get one large terrain overlay to align correctly at all the various points. Mostly because the image and the vector are oriented differently (a) and of different resolutions (b).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cjcaesar (talk • contribs) 03:52, 25 November 2010 (UTC)


 * You can easily scale and rotate the bitmap in Inkscape until it fits the vector map. But if you think splitting the image into parts works better for you, I suppose that's also an option. Although I don't think I've seen the latter used in any WP SVG map so far. --Morn (talk) 07:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Certosa di San Giacomo
Hello Morn. What are now the first 3 sentences of Certosa di San Giacomo were added by you when you created the article. They are identical to 3 sentences in the book Capri Sights (Mobi Sights), which does not appear to be public domain. Can you please take a look at this? Thank you. --Rosiestep (talk) 17:43, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * That "book" seems to be cribbed from the Capri-related Wikipedia articles without attribution, so it's hardly surprising some sentences are identical. They are stealing from us. --Morn (talk) 21:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Yup, that's what it looks like; what a bummer. And now there's a bunch of additional articles on Capri that a few of us have created this week, which may get the same treatment down the road. Btw, thanks for adding those coords. --Rosiestep (talk) 16:11, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

How longtime Wikipedians can learn how to add content
Hi! I was going through Wikipedia_Signpost/2011-03-07/Deletion_controversy when I saw your comment about "many editors have little to contribute because every book they have ever read and every film they have ever seen is already covered. So because they cannot add anything of value, they become managers / policemen who concentrate on deleting material they do not like, sometimes under the thinnest of pretenses."

I wonder if there is a way to teach these longtime editors brainstorming and research skills, so they can add something of value and show people how to do it. One can use Google Books and other research avenues to gather information needed to write the article or at least start a stub. WhisperToMe (talk) 09:19, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Brainstorming and research without excitement about the subject can be drudgery too, so I'm not sure that would solve anything. Instead of bitchy deletionist bureaucrats, we would then have bitchy Google Books researchers. :-)
 * The best advice to them would be to spend less time on WP and read an obscure book instead, or learn a language, or take up an unusual hobby. Then when they have found something they are truly excited about, they should write about it on Wikipedia or share photos or videos on Commons. What these people need in their lives IMO is a little intellectual excitement and curiosity. And for that you have to take some time off from Wikipedia and do something else entirely, then come back with the results. --Morn (talk) 22:00, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 * That's also a good idea. I get ideas from reading newspaper articles on the internet, and in my areas of interest newspaper articles are good sources, so I often use the very articles I read as sources on Wikipedia. WhisperToMe (talk) 23:00, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Europe 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Europe/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Germany, Italy, the Benelux countries, Iberian Peninsula, Romania, Slovenia etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for Europe and your specialist country like WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every country of Europe, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any country sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to! Thank you. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:09, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Sharp PC-E500S keys
Hi Morn, since you obviously have a Sharp PC-E500S in front of you, does it have rubber keys (like the PC-E500) or plastic keys (like some other models in the series)? Various Japanese sites claim it was introduced in 1989 already, some other sources seem to indicate 1993, but at least some of the Western manuals are dated 1995. Do you know the date of introduction (or: did you buy your unit before 1995)? Thanks. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 17:17, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Hallo Matthias! Die Knöpfe sind aus hartem Plastik. Der E500S kam im Frühjahr 1995 heraus; meinen habe ich anscheinend im Mai '95 gekauft. Soweit ich mich erinnere habe ich extra noch ein paar Wochen abgewartet, weil der E500S zwar schon im 1995er-Sharp-Prospekt war, aber noch nicht in den Geschäften erhältlich. (Besagter Prospekt liegt hier sogar noch in meiner Gebrauchsanleitung). --Morn (talk) 17:48, 2 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Prima, danke! 1995 paßt auch gut zu meiner Erinnerung - wobei ich selbst keinen E500S hatte. Das würde allerdings bedeuten, daß der E500S das letzte Modell dieser Serie war und in Japan ein halbes Dutzend anderer E500-Varianten schon vorher erschienen, darunter auch welche mit 64 KB RAM...
 * Wie auch immer, ich trag das mal in den Artikel ein.

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Piano portal


A tag has been placed on Category:Piano portal requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Liz Read!

Suggested project edit: chess animation, Through the Looking-Glass
Hello Morn, I've appreciated your chess animations added at Poole versus HAL 9000, the Immortal Game, and elsewhere. Another article which might benefit from your treatment is Through the Looking-Glass, one of the Alice in Wonderland books, which uses a chess motif.

The story corresponds to a composition with specific moves, as explained at the article (I've been editing it recently). However as it's a fantasy story, certain rules are ignored: White makes several consecutive moves, while Black (Red) makes none. An animation would be an especially good visual aid for a reader in a situation like this, to quickly underline that the composition is "fantastical", and doesn't strictly follow all the rules. Some animations of the conceit can be found on the internet, but of course we don't want to use those directly for copyright/aesthetic reasons.

One possible issue is that the "Chess" subsection might be visually cramped by two images (there's an existing still image of the original composition, which I tend to think ought to stay). A project to consider. Kind regards, MinnesotanUser (talk) 03:26, 17 May 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem, I have added an animation of the moves given by Downey. That paragraph did not contain an image yet, so it fits nicely. Creating the file was a little more difficult because python-chess and SCID only allow legal moves, but I found a solution by using a sequence of board positions instead. --Morn (talk) 14:34, 17 May 2021 (UTC)

Appreciation for Chess Animation Script
Hello Morn, I would like to take this opportunity to appreciate your work with the Python scripts for Chess Animation in various articles. I came across your work on the Opera Game article and found it informative. I have made your script available on GitHub, with some minor modifications, link here. I am hoping it is okay to be shared publicly on GitHub. PS: Good job done on making it work in case of Through the Looking-Glass, I must say. Amit Dash (talk) 11:21, 4 June 2021 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, Amit! And thanks for the barnstar too. :-) Yes, of course you can share the script. Like the images, it is CC0-licensed, so you can do anything you want with it. --Morn (talk) 09:01, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
