Little context in 1636 in sports
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on 1636 in sports, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because 1636 in sports is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting 1636 in sports, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Stratocracy
This is a message from the unregistered user who edited the Stratocracy page. The edit I made wasn't a test. The information in the section "Stratocracy in Fiction" was inaccurate. The page claimed that the manga/anime series Fullmetal Alchemist features a stratocracy, when in fact a reference was made to an alternate power structure in vol. 16. I accept that perhaps I should not have edited it without consulting someone, and apologize for the trouble. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.117.138.33 (talk) 05:34, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion tagging
Hi Yarnalgo, can you please be careful with your speedy deletion tagging? For example: Hope that helps. Somno (talk) 09:36, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This has content and context, it just doesn't say why the company is important.
 * This was not spam when you tagged it, but could have been tagged with no content because it just had one external link.
 * This has more than enough context to determine the article's subject, and could be prodded or taken to AFD if you think she's non-notable (as she may well be).


 * Thank you. I will try to be more careful in the future. -- Y ar na lg o talk to me 09:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  14:56, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you, I will be careful in my usage and only use it for obvious vandalism. -- Y ar na lg o talk to me 19:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

List of baseball parks in Toronto, Ontario
I would be glad to entertain suggestions on how to improve the appearance of that article, or list actually. Some have suggested using a table, but the variable length of the various data elements don't seem to fit that idea. That's why I'm using kind of an "outline" format. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 05:21, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

File:M777 Light Towed Howitzer 1.jpg
Just curious, why did you change the license tag on some of User:Jonathanmallard's images?-Andrew c [talk] 03:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Because he is a US Army soldier and the pictures were taken during his course of duty. That makes the pictures "work[s] prepared by an officer or employee of the U.S. government as part of that person's official duties" which puts the pictures in the public domain. The license on Flickr is irrelevant because of this. -- Y ar na lg o talk to me 06:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you have information that I do not? I think the key word in that tag is "official duties" and it isn't clear to me that Mr. Mallard is an Army photographer. I just assumed that these were personal photos taken in an unofficial capacity. I could be mistaken, but I just didn't have evidence to the contrary, which is why I'm contacting you :) To see if you have more information than me. Thanks!-Andrew c [talk] 13:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The way it has been previously explained to me, is that as long as he is taking the pictures while on his tour of duty, that constitutes as "part of that person's official duties." It doesn't really matter to me. You can revert the change if you want (on that picture, it wasn't even me who changed the license first). -- Y ar na lg o talk to me 20:22, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

DreamGYM
Hello, User DreamGYM is here. I wonder why my User Page was considered for deletion. I created the page to explain a bit about company that initially produced the articles. These articles have no direct connection to the company and do not sell any of its products. It was done on the User page, not as a main article. I was in discussion with another admin (Mindmatrix) about this page and articles. I thought that I'm not "spamming" the Wikipedia this way. Before putting a page together I checked pages about companies that I worked for and competitors pages. All seems to be fine for them. All they did for Wikipedia - just put user page about themselves with a link to their site - pure conflict of interests.

Well, my life did not start on Wikipedia as in paradise :) but I'm optimistic that it can be better.

Best regards, DreamGYM (talk) 03:58, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well an article like that in the article namespace would definitely be deleted because it is written like an advertisement. To tell you the truth, I'm not exactly sure if you are alowed to write the article in your user page but I was going on a very similar if not exact case where the page was deleted (User:Illusions Online Arabia FZ LLC). -- Y ar na lg o talk to me 06:00, 23 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your prompt answer. DreamGYM (talk) 10:45, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Any chance to remove warnings from my talk page? Thanks a lot, DreamGYM (talk) 20:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Scottish Lacrosse team
Thank you for your help with the Scottish lacrosse articles. I was amazed to see that there were none until recentluy, because of the long history of it here.

I was wondering if you could create articles on the mens and women's international teams, as well please. Many thanks.--MacRusgail (talk) 16:50, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

German windmills
Thanks for improving the various lists by adding images. Are you able to add the images to the corresponding German language articles or would it be better if I gave a shout to a German editor to do this? Mjroots (talk) 03:19, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I can probably do them too but right now I'm still working on the English lists. In the meantime you could have a German editor do them or just wait. -- Y ar na lg o talk to me 03:21, 17 April 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll wait. After all, there's no rush, is there? If you have any problems, give User:DeNiteshift a shout (de:Benutzer:Niteshift is his German user page), he speaks better English than his Babel suggests. Mjroots (talk) 03:30, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright sounds good. -- Y ar na lg o talk to me 03:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

CodeFixer and BR tags
I see you used the tool "CodeFixer" to just add two characters to the template current court case. This is your edit:

You changed from the wikimarkup  tag to the XHTML   tag. There's no consensus for doing such changes.

So which should we use? or ?

Let's examine this step by step:

1: Writing the XHTML code  without a blank is even against the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium, instead it should be written as   since then HTML parsers can understand it too. HTML parsers will simply regard  as a "br" with an unknown parameter "/", while they will regard "br/" as an unknown tag name. So we should definitely not teach people to write, but possibly.

2: The "HTML" codes we use here at Wikipedia are not XHTML markup nor are they HTML markup, instead they are "HTML wikimarkup", since MediaWiki processes them just like wikimarkup.

3: Wikipedia mainly uses wikimarkup. The reason for that is simple: Most people that edit Wikipedia are people who never have made a web page, so they know nothing about HTML, XHTML or CSS. So for them (and even for us old webmaster geeks) it is easier to use wikimarkup.

4: As far as I have seen the documentation for MediaWiki talks about "HTML in wikitext" and never mentions "XHTML in wikitext". Also up until recently all documentation listed  as the code for forced line breaks. But some time ago some XHTML enthusiasts went around and edited a lot of the help pages to show the  or even the.

So which should we use? or ?

Well, let's first ask another question: Which markup should we use for bold text?

I think we all know that the wikimarkup  is the recommended one. Mainly because it is simpler to use, especially for the majority of editors that don't know HTML and CSS.

The same goes for  vs. The HTML wikimarkup  is easier for the majority of editors to use, and it is shorter.

Sure, we have a "teaching opportunity" to teach people to use the, but there is a very high risk that they instead will use the   and that would be a bad thing. And believe it or not, many beginners have problems telling " " and " " apart. So they sometimes use the  or even  ...

So again, the  is easier for the majority of editors to use, and it is shorter.

MLL
Yarn, you posted a note at User talk:Smith03 about American vs British english. Are you talking about this edit? I think Smith's change of "colour->color" is appropriate based on the MLL -- similar to MLB -- being a US based league (i.e. using American english). Also, since the editor has been around for a long time, you may want to consider WP:DTTR. -Mitico (talk) 12:00, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh yea, and thanks for your tweaks and additions to the field lacrosse article! Mitico (talk) 12:02, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

I changed it to American English because the reference was to the old Rochester (American) team. thanks for your concern Smith03 (talk) 16:05, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

FFD for ArmyNavyLax2009.JPG
I commented at the FfD. The photo is credited to Army Athletic Communications. The athletic department of the United States Military Academy is part of the Department of the Army, and therefore its works are in the public domain. Strikehold (talk) 04:57, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Your right, I was thinking because it was on the Go Army athletics page (commercial site with copyright notice as I said; West Point main site does not have copyright notice b/c it is PD) that it was copyrighted. But since it has this attribution it is in the public domain as you said. Thanks and great job on the college team articles -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 05:09, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I probably should've linked directly to the page with the image and attribution instead of the gallery to eliminate any confusion. The (C) at the bottom of the site, I assume, was put there by privately contracted website developers. They may hold some rights over some things like the web design, but may not necessarily understand copyright law as it applies to the USG. Strikehold (talk) 05:25, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

find and rescue
It's showing up on all the articles tagged for rescue as a big wonky error message. -- Banj e b oi   18:38, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * That is weird... Any idea why? I tried it out in my sandbox and it worked fine. -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 18:40, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I hate to be paranoid but everytime something "weird" happens it sadly points to someone who has issues with the Article Rescue Squad (sigh); the BLP sources template used our idea but had different coding. Hmmmm. I think it's someone's pointy way of saying they think rescue template only should be on the talkpage of an article but community consensus has maintained that mainpage usage is completely fine. -- Banj e  b oi   18:46, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Casebox
Yarnalgo, I've replied on this page: I've got another question when you're back; how do the titles work? For instance, I'm planning to have lots of different boxes which can be used across a number of pages; if I put in a page something like "< >" would that mean that the template page itself would be "Template:Casebox consideration"?  Wik idea  12:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Looking at the way that came up on the page (rather than in the edit page), I think I answered my own question!  Wik idea  12:22, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Gordon Gair
I see you added and then removed — just to let you know, the category does exist, but it's in the naming format. It should get moved to the "Sportspeople from Ontario" format, but it hasn't yet because all of the other Canadian sportspeople-by-province categories would have to get done at the same time. Hope that helps a bit. Bearcat (talk) 05:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Cool, thanks for the help. -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 05:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Sr. B
I removed the Sr. B from the template only because it seemed redundant at the time. I will make an article for the WCSLA next. A decent league out in BC. DMighton (talk) 19:27, 31 May 2009 (UTC)


 * It's only there because the OLA leagues are all called "OLA Level". So it's differentiate between the other OLA leagues. If you want to remove them that's fine with me. -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 19:33, 31 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Nah... don't worry about it... I just wanted to make more room... that was all. The OLA isn't all that creative about naming their leagues... lol.  DMighton (talk) 19:49, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

UK Supreme Court badge
Why have you replaced the version showing a flax leaf (which I believe is correct), with one that showing a shamrock (which is not)? Andrew Le Sueur (talk) 12:04, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry I did not realize it wasn't accurate. The svg version was made because of a request at Commons. I don't think the creator realized that it wasn't the right leaf. It should be changed back to the correct badge until the svg is fixed (I haven't checked to see if you have done this already yet). -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 22:29, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Do you mean used by the microformat? Yes, but only as a property of the "A" element; or if the URL is displayed on the page, as opposed to link text. Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 19:35, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay then. Sorry about that. -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 21:34, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Amanda O'Leary
Greetings, Yarnalgo. I have just reviewed your recent series of edits to the Amanda O'Leary article, to wit:

1. There is no express or implied prohibition on the use of nicknames in the Template:Persondata. In fact, not including common nicknames in the persondata when the article is titled under the subject's birth name makes no darn sense. The persondata template is meta data; it makes the page more readily searchable on the internet without having to include every variation on the subject's name within the article title or text. Try searching "Mandee O'Leary" or "Mandee Moore" on Google and it will highlight the metadata within the article.

2. Re-spacing the article every time you edit it is an annoyance, and it screws up the diff comparisons (this article has never had anything other than "standard spacing"). Standard spacing (i.e. single line spaces between paragraphs headers and other codes, two spaces after sentence-ending periods) is expressly permitted by the Wikipedia protocols and makes reading and editing of the code much easier and faster, especially for those of us with less than perfect vision. As a courtesy, please do not re-space this article.

3. The use of ndashes is expressly permitted by WP:MOS and is used almost uniformly throughout Wikipedia sports projects to make citation page spans (e.g., pp. 175–202), year spans (e.g., 1999–2002), win-loss records (e.g., 13–1) and game scores (e.g., 21–7) easier to read quickly. Every other University of Florida article is formatted this way across multiple sports, including those subject to the College Football, College Basketball, Baseball and Volleyball Wikipedia Projects, which all strongly prefer (and many actually enforce) the use of the ndash as described. Frankly, I doubt the Lacrosse WikiProject is any different to the extent anyone has actually considered formatting consistency.

4. I have restored those non-duplicative "See also" article links that are directly related to the article subject, with an explanatory notation, per the WP:SEEALSO guidelines. Several of those deleted by you were not duplicates of those links found in the body text of the article.

5. We are already working on a new University of Florida navbox, which will include clearer links to all Florida Gators sports teams and current coaches for use on all Florida Gators team and current coach pages. Most of this information was already included within the general University of Florida navbox you deleted. I would be grateful if you would not delete the new version of this navbox when it is ready. The primary readers of the Amanda O'Leary and Florida Gators lacrosse articles are University of Florida alumni and other Florida Gators fans. Deleting these navboxes just makes it harder for them to find other Gators sports articles when navigating Wikipedia.

6. After the date of birth and living person categories, categories are generally listed alphabetically in the absence of a clear hierarchy or priority order per FAQ/Categorization. Most Wikipedia article categories are listed alphabetically because no objective hierarchy or priority order can be established.

You have made very helpful substantive additions to these articles in the past, notably including information and improvements regarding Coach O'Leary's personal life, family, Hall of Fame membership, etc. These constructive edits are always welcome additions. Reformatting non-substantive elements of the article per your personal tastes is an enormous waste of your time and my time, especially when one of the stated goals of my project is to impose uniform formatting per WP:MOS on all of our Florida Gators article, and other Wiki sports projects are doing their best to enforce those same uniform formatting standards. If necessary, I will pursue this with an administrator and/or Wiki mediation or arbitration not because I want to, but because our project cannot spend its time trying to reconcile non-standard formatting of individual editors (even if they are leaders of other projects) with their own tastes.

If you would like to discuss these matters further, I am more than willing to discuss them with you. You may e-mail me through the link on the tool box infobox (at left) on my user page. Please consider what I have taken the time to explain above before reformatting the article again. Thanks. Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 01:07, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * (2) I really apologize about the spacing thing and I will try not to change that again (I use Auto Ed which does it automatically and sometimes I just forget how disruptive to the page layout and diff it can be). (1) Per WP:PDATA, "The optional  field is used to list other common (usually international) forms of the person name, but not simply abbreviated versions of the full name." That is what I was working off but if you feel it is necessary to include her nicknames that is fine. (3) As far as the endashes go, I did not replace any. It may have appeared that way in the code because I replaced the HTML entities  with the Unicode character  which looks close to a hyphen  in the code. There is no official ruling on which one to use over the other but the general preference is the Unicode characters because they are easier to read in code and use less bytes (if you want to use the entities that's fine; I don't feel that strongly either way). (4–6) I really did not mean any harm and I have read what you've written and understand it. Thanks. -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 01:49, 4 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your consideration, Yarnalgo. I really do appreciate your lacrosse knowledge and your expertise with lacrosse-specific references.  I am an adopted Gator by transfer and later graduate studies at Florida, having attended UVA for two years first.  My first-year UVA roommate was a high-school All-American at a well-known Baltimore area prep school, and he was my introduction to lacrosse.  When we finish cleaning up our Florida Gators sports articles later this year, I would love to help you with your project's priority articles.


 * BTW, if we have missed any obvious lacrosse reference resources in either the O'Leary or Gators team articles, I would be very grateful if you would add them to the articles or let me know where to find them. The on-line lacrosse history and statistics references are still a whole new universe to me, and I am certain we Gators lacrosse newbies are missing some of the good stuff that's out there.  Thanks again.  Dirtlawyer1 (talk) 16:52, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

 * The template doesn't wrap by design so just add line breaks manually. As far as the websites, I went through every article that uses that parameter and updated them and then added a note to the doc. -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 08:15, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Now the default website is example.com Instead of just an omitted line.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:41, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Almost all other sports have standardized widths that force line breaks. See most athletes in other sports and the general NCAA athlete such as User:TonyTheTiger/sandbox/Scott Bacigalupo.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 06:03, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Added a fixed width and fixed the website. -- Yarnalgo  talk to me 22:04, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Please revisit Kevin Lowe (lacrosse) and see how odd it looks that everything is indented half way across. Can you reformat to be more like the aforementioned infoboxes for other sports.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 22:27, 21 August 2010 (UTC)

Robert H. Scott
i was just looking at the above page,that on the man who was my college lacrosse coach. i must say i am mystified by the calculations that yielded the 'percentages' listed in his record. they are so far off that i wonder if i'm understanding what they represent. the 1974 season, for example, is described as 12 and 2, giving a percentage of .467. by my calculation that gives a winning percentage of .857. another season is described as 8 and 0, yet the percentage is not 1.000. i see no trace of vandalism. what am i missing?Toyokuni3 (talk) 23:38, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Kodiaks lax.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Kodiaks lax.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.
