File page NFCC concerns tag
Hi. Following on from this discussion I've made a few changes to the template in its sandbox. It now accepts the timestamps as the second unnamed parameter (always remember to close with  rather than just , which caused the problems you had before), and uses this for the Month-Year category as well as the 7 days calculation (only adding categories when in the   namespace). I've also tweaked the formatting, and given a link to the file uses section if no articles are given; feel free to alter this however you like. If the code seems ok to you, just copy it over from the sandbox (you only need to replace  at the bottom with  ), and let me know if you have any problems.

I was also wondering why you were transcluding this template through your userspace (i.e. )? Finally, this is a community project and while some instances may violate fair use, others just need a word or two as rationale to allow us to use them (and in doing so can make the project much better); make sure to try to come up with a rationale before simply tagging a bunch of pictures! See you around. -- xensyria T 15:32, 3 March 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. Di-no fair use rationale provides a similar functionality, including instructions to notify the uploader and in the relevant image captions; do we need both? -- xensyria T 16:15, 3 March 2013 (UTC)


 * My understanding is that Di-no fair use rationale is only for cases where a file does not have any rationale at all. The template I created is for cases where at least one rationale is lacking but a rationale might be present for another article. I pasted the code from the sandbox. Thank you for the changes to the template markup. Regarding your last point regarding adding a rationale before tagging, WP:NFCCE explicitly says it is the duty of the users who want to use non-free content to provide a rationale. If people think that should be changed, it can be discussed, but as long as WP:NFCC is policy, removing a use of a non-free file violating 10c is a valid step to perform. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  06:18, 4 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Glad to help, and I agree or I wouldn't have done so; my point really was that there are two ways to solve a missing rationale, and trying to add one (especially on files that already have at least one existing rationale to start from) tends to be the more constructive. -- xensyria T 13:50, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

Hypothetical types of stars
Dear Toshio Yamaguchi: It seems that your page Hypothetical types of stars is very similar to an existing article Hypothetical star. The recommendation from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomy is that you move any new information or references from the new article to the older article and then redirect your article title to that one so that there will only be one article. This makes sense to me, too. &mdash;Anne Delong (talk) 15:53, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of islands of the Federated States of Micronesia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Lalang (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Just in case you missed it...
I answered your question at VPT. I made a script to restore the orange message bar a day or two ago; I've been trying to get the word out, since so many people seem to miss it, but I keep feeling like I'm self-promoting. :) Anyway, as it says on VPT, the script is at User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/orangeBar.js; just put the line  into your common.js page and you should be good to go. Cheers! Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 20:02, 3 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Yepp, I saw your reply at VPT and already installed it. It seems to work, as your message triggered the orange bar. Very cool. Thank you. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  20:05, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

A big thank you...

Nightcore

 * User:Toshio Yamaguchi/Nightcore → Nightcore ([ move]) – I want to move the page from my userspace into mainspace. I am unable to do so myself because the page is salted. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  07:10, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Page Nightcore is salted because 8 previous attempts to create a page Nightcore have been deleted because the music band Nightcore is not notable. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 12:49, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I will check whether possibly more sources exist to establish notability. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  16:01, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Hunting for embedded outlines
While you are reading or browsing Wikipedia articles, please...

...keep a lookout for outlines embedded in articles.

I've run across a number of these over the years. One example is the Outline of fencing, which used to be part of the fencing article.

If you know about or spot any structured general topics lists in articles, please let me know (on my talk page).

Another thing you might find are articles that are comprised mostly of lists (without "Outline of" or "List of" being in the article's title). If you come across any of these, please report them to me on my talk page. I'd sure like to take a look at them.

Happy hunting.

I look forward to "hearing" from you (on my talk page). Sincerely, The Transhumanist 08:03, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Wascana Desktop Developer


The article Wascana Desktop Developer has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not notable. This is not a product, just a bundle assembled for convenience. Eclipse is a notable IDE, but this just bundles it with some other components. As such I don't know if there's any particular notability standard for it but it falls far short of the GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Theo's Little Bot 20
You and I share similar concerns with the proposal for this bot. I find it appalling that this boat proposal went three weeks without any notification to WT:NFC in any form. Had Stefan2 not asked for that to be done, it might have been approved without WT:NFC hearing of it. But, it's worse than that. Such a bot that fundamentally undermines the mission of this project can not be authorized without direct community input on a forum that appears on Centralized discussion. The bot approvals group has gone off the deep end on this one with virtually no consideration of the long term consequences of implementation of this bot. --Hammersoft (talk) 00:55, 4 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree that this should have been advertised at WT:NFC. It's not that I would never support such a bot, but this would require a change to policy first. Otherwise, approving the bot and then saying something like: "Oh, well, we have a bot whose activity is not compliant with policy, so lets change policy to enable this bot to continue" would pretty much subvert the whole principal of decision making through consensus. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  05:14, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Give Me a Ring Sometime
There are two non-free files. Should I remove two, one, or none? --George Ho (talk) 19:14, 2 August 2013 (UTC)


 * File:Cheers cast 1982 bw.jpg should be removed for violating NFCC#8. That image is unnecessary, as the cast doesn't need to be portrayed in that section. File:Cheers premiere ad tv guide 1982.jpg is probably okay, as it is essentially the same as cover art and thus acceptable under WP:NFCI#1. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  20:56, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

 * File:Cheers cast with George Wendt.jpeg should be removed for violating NFCC#8. Showing the cast in that section using a non-free image is unnecessary. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  17:33, 3 August 2013 (UTC)
 * And Cheers (season 4) and Cheers (season 5)? --George Ho (talk) 00:09, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

 * I see in this edit you changed the broken link to a working one. It might be worth keeping the archived link as well as  . The archived link is an archive of the original URL, which is now dead and the Wayback Machine doesn't have an archive of the currently working link. I don't know whether usually an archived version of a link is kept that is dead, but where another working version still exists. I personally would add   as the   parameter and   as the   parameter. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  19:38, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Sanzhi Ufo Houses.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Sanzhi Ufo Houses.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Werieth (talk) 16:24, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Script issues
The servers are being weird right now. I'm pretty sure I fixed everything with the script, but there might be issues with javascript loading old versions of the script or not loading the script it at all intermittently. I'll be testing this later today, when the server issues will hopefully be cleared up, and confirm that my changes are acting as expected. equazcion  →  14:35, 12 Nov 2013 (UTC)

Classes of natural numbers
I think Classes of natural numbers is getting too big. I suggest splitting out Figurate numbers. PrimeHunter (talk) 13:31, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
 * While I agree that the template is relatively big, I would like to keep the two templates at least connected in some way. In order to reduce the 'visual' size when the template is uncollapsed, the section listing the figurate numbers could be made collapsible by wrapping the content into some kind of collapsible template or the whole number classes template could be changed to use Navbox with collapsible groups. Another option is of course to simply link Figurate numbers in the figurate numbers section in Classes of natural numbers per your suggestion. Which do you prefer? --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  14:11, 17 November 2013 (UTC)


 * We could do Classes of natural numbers/sandbox but if we make a subgroup then why stop there and not include Divisor classes and Prime number classes as subgroups? PrimeHunter (talk) 14:42, 17 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Including Prime number classes would result in a number of double entries, however. This could be resolved by moving entries such as Fermat number to the better fitting category, of course (for example, removing it from Prime number classes and just leaving it in Classes of natural numbers). I think the prime number classes subgroup should only contain those classes, where all numbers are prime (for example it would include classes like super-prime, but not, say, Cullen number). --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  15:37, 17 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Actually after a second thought merging both templates into a single one might be the best option, though I think we should decide on some criteria for grouping the entries (for example I think the name Possessing a specific set of other numbers I specified in Classes of natural numbers is not a very good name for a subgroup). In my opinion we should create a new template and first define an appropriate set of subgroups/categories and then add all entries from Classes of natural numbers and Prime number classes to it. I know this will result in a large navbox and your original rationale for the split is the size of the navbox. However, is a large navbox inherently problematic? I assume Navbox with collapsible groups exists in part for such cases. It could be designed such that the categories/subgroups are visible when uncollapsing the navbox, but the entries are initially collapsed. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  22:10, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

RE: Nightcore
Hi, thank you replying me. I think nightcore can't make it to wiki too (5 years later maybe?) Anyway, I found an alternative. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nightcore/ But the editorship in KYM is actually quite autocracy, only I am editing so far. Would you like to join editing? There are too much stuff to be added.

Bot to detect WP:NFCCP failures?
Hi, I was hoping that you would have contributed to Media copyright questions/Archive/2013/December but it got archived.

Is such a bot possible? Besides the issue that I raised on that thread, it should also detect cases where a page is moved but the FURs are left alone. I've recently made - the page  more than two months ago and the redirect was  the following day, yet the consequent WP:NFCCP failure went undetected until today, when I was checking the image to see if  satisfied WP:NFCCP (it didn't). -- Red rose64 (talk) 19:56, 7 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, as ww2censor said, I thought about such a bot as well (see discussions here, here, here, here and here). I think it would be technically possible if there is someone who can and wants to code such a bot (I don't know whether I could do it myself, I can program myself, but mainly in C++ and I am not sure whether that language is the best choice to code a bot or not. I think many bots on Wikipedia are written in Python, but I am not experienced in writing Python code). --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  09:34, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Do you think I should send it to WP:BOTREQ then? -- Red rose64 (talk) 13:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'd be more than happy if someone over there took up the request. --  Toshio   Yamaguchi  21:08, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
