All in info bar
Hi all of Tyler Thaxton's Life is in the info bar could that please be removed 173.65.20.25 (talk) 00:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)Tt2274


 * We don't have an article called Tyler Thaxton. In all politeness, what are you talking about? FloBo   A boat that can float!   (watch me float!)  05:27, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * There was an article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyler_Thaxton but it was deleted, not very long ago. Presumably, the OP saw it before it was deleted and had some concerns.  I think only admins can see deleted pages, so I don't know what the exact problem was.  RudolfRed (talk) 05:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * The article was deleted 2 hours after the request was filed. Unfortunately, that was 3 hours too early for me. FloBo   A boat that can float!   (watch me float!)  12:59, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I saw the article in question, which was nominated as CSD A7 at the time. It seemed to be a 13-year-old singer biography with limited information. I certainly did not see an excessive amount of personal information compared to a typical biography stub. There was an unintelligible file link in the infobox as well, though after a quick peek I gathered that no image was ever uploaded. Suffice to say, this has been taken care of:
 * 02:18, 9 August 2012 (UTC) Fuhghettaboutit deleted page Tyler Thaxton (A7: Article about a real person, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject)
 * So hopefully that clears up the confusion. Given the preceding, I'm going to mark this one as resolved. BigNate37(T) 15:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Help
Is there an infobox for "task forces" rather than "WikiProjects". Thanks! TBrandley 01:06, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * AFAIK Infoboxes are use in articles, not Project or Task force pages. Roger (talk) 07:27, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd think he meant userboxes instead. FloBo   A boat that can float!   (watch me float!)  12:37, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I mean't there is a Infobox WikiProject, and I'm wondering if there is an Infobox task force, or something similar. TBrandley 16:15, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't understand the purpose. You can surely just include a simple infobox? You don't need to borrow the style, just use your own creativity. Regards.--Kürbis (✔) 18:30, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure what you mean but I suspect you are using "Infobox" incorrectly. Please link to what you call "Infobox WikiProject" and then maybe we can guess what you want for task forces. The Infobox WikiProject is WikiProject Infoboxes but I don't see how that relates to your posts. I wonder whether you are referring to WikiProject banners like WikiProject Television which has many task force parameters. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:56, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

National Historic Fleet Core Collection
HSL 102 of the RAF as shown is NOT a motor torpedoe boat but MTB102 of the Royal Navy is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.38.63 (talk) 01:32, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * National Historic Fleet, Core Collection seems to be the article in question here. http://www.historicboatcharter.co.uk/raf-hsl-102/history.html and http://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/register/525/hsl-102 refer to the boat as a High Speed Launch. I am not familiar with the terminology and Wikipedia currently doesn't have an article on High Speed Launch. We have British Power Boat Company Type Two 63 ft HSL, if that is of help to someone else. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 13:37, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

How to use a first-letter-lowercase Username
MY CORRECT USERNAME IS ibicdlcod. Ibicdlcod (talk) 06:14, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * I have added the template lowercase title to your user and user talk page. This does not change what your actual user name is, but is does change the display of it at those two pages. Now go to your preferences, scroll down the the signature area on the first page that comes up, place the following code into the field next to Signature:

ibicdlcod (talk)
 * Now tick the box below that that says "Treat the above as wiki markup." Now, when you sign your name it will also display in lowercase. You cannot change your account name to actually begin with a lowercase letter because of a software restriction (the same is true of article titles). Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 06:27, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * (edit conflict) Go to your preferences and put the following in the custom signature box: ibicdlcod (talk) . Check the "treat above as wiki markup" box. This will make your signature display as this: ibicdlcod (talk). Add lowercase title to your user page and/or your talk page to lowercase your username in those titles. The name is capitalized as a limitation of the software. - Purplewowies (talk) 06:31, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

I sent a message on a bot talk. A bot archived it before any answer. Then, I sent a message on the relative user talk page. As before, a bot archived it before there was any answer. What to do in order to receive an answer?--Nickanc (talk) 10:10, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * You could leave an extra (fake) timestamp, such as "10:10, 19 August 2012 (UTC)", which would then prevent the bot from archiving it until (in this case) 19 August + the amount of days set by the bot config. benzband  ( talk ) 10:15, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Width of Infobox tennis biography template
I'd like to request an increase in the width of this template, something similar to the Golf equivalent (see Ellsworth Vines' page for both, and the difference in width between them) in order to hopefully prevent some of the actual field text on the left-hand side (e.g. 'career prize money', 'current ranking', 'australian open') from running over onto 2 lines. This happens on many players' pages, e.g. Roger Federer, Fred Stolle, John Isner and Jérôme Golmard, whereas the infoboxes presumably should look relatively clutter free/stay on one line ala David Nalbandian, Denis Istomin, Marat Safin and Alexander Popp. This would greatly improve the presentation of such pages and make the infoboxes more efficient and easier to read... would this be possible? I have posted this at WikiProject Tennis also. Thanks. Asmazif (talk) 12:35, 9 August 2012 (GMT)

Table sorting broken?
On the page Gymnastics_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics_–_Women's_rhythmic_individual_all-around, there is an almost empty table; only two columns are partly filled. I can still sort by the two partially filled columns. But why does the sorting by hoop not work? I have to click on the next (empty) column of clubs to sort by hoop: --134.102.219.116 (talk) 12:34, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I'm pretty sure it's because both ball and hoop span two columns. The table will sort by the very top columns. Those headers would need to be removed or incorporated into the columns below them. It's a shame since it makes the table less clear but there isn't any way round it that I know of and I've asked the same question myself before. Valenciano (talk) 12:38, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Unless you think people will want to be sorting by penalty points, you could maybe change it so that there's only one column for each discipline, with a heading such as Ball (score / penalty) and entries in the form "26.625 / xxxx". Deor (talk) 13:23, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

CBS Morning Problem
In currently, CBS morning newscasts is called CBS This Morning, but I notice a problem. When I linked to CBS Morning or CBS Morning Show, it redirect to The Early Show, the former morning programme on CBS. And no pages have information of history of CBS morning shows in 1970s.-- John Chen (Talk-Contib.) RA 14:25, 9 August 2012 (UTC)
 * If a redirect seems to be obviously better pointing somewhere else, you may edit its target yourself. For example when clicking on CBS Morning, you end up at The Early Show and right under where it says "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", you should see "(Redirected from )". If you click the link in the "Redirected from..." line, it will take you directly to the redirect page which you may then edit and change the target. However you should first check the "What links here" page for any redirect you intend to change; if most of the incoming links mean The Early Show, then perhaps you should just add a hatnote to The Early Show. Something like, which produces "CBS Morning" and "CBS Morning Show" redirect here. For the other CBS morning show, see CBS This Morning." If you're not sure at all what to do, you're welcome to nominate the problematic redirects for discussion at Redirects for discussion, and more redirect savvy editors will take it from there. To summarize:
 * Check Special:WhatLinksHere/CBS Morning and Special:WhatLinksHere/CBS Morning Show. If you're certain CBS Morning and CBS Morning Show should point at CBS This Morning, go ahead and change them accordingly and fix any incoming links that should instead point at The Early Show.
 * If you see that there is a large majority of incoming links for those redirects that mean The Early Show, consider using the {{subst:redirect2}} template to alert readers who were looking for CBS This Morning.
 * If you aren't comfortable making the decision, list the redirects for discussion at RfD. See WP:RFD.

Proper Name Appearing in Lowercase
I created an article with the header as the person's first and last name. The first name is capitalized, but the last name is all lowercase. How do I fix it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmbrown000 (talk • contribs) 14:43, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * You can WP:MOVE the article. But, you have to be autoconfirmed (account with at least 10 edits and 4 days old) to move pages, so I have done it for you: Rick page is now located at Rick Page. benzband  ( talk ) 14:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Heroes Welcome UK
Hi, I just need a little clarification, some time ago Wikipedia suggested that I should try and link the Heroes Welcome Article to other relating and connecting wikipedia articles, and this is something I have been doing as and when an opportunity arises.(you can probably track these?). Yesterday I added a section to the Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box article (it seemed the most appropriate way of adding the piece) headed inspiring communities. I believed this article to be very relevant bearing in mind the well reported association between the Mariah Mundi series of books and the Heroes Welcome story. I noticed this morning that this new section was removed by one of the originating writers who seem to go under the same name as the film production company. This action seems to go against the wikipedia principle, could you advice me? Many thanksFwe506 (talk) 14:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Have you asked User:Emotionpictures why they reverted your edits?--ukexpat (talk) 15:18, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Not sure how to do that, but as I suspect its the film company PR dept that have formulated the Mariah Mundi piece then they may not want an association to the Heroes Welcome article. many thanks anyway Fwe506 (talk) 16:11, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi after some thinking ... I think we are now sorted! Many thanks!Fwe506 (talk) 17:41, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

Help on offer
Anyone got a particular task they would like done / help doing? benzband ( talk ) 14:47, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * What do you have in mind? If you'd like to help with fixing NFCC issues that would be very much appreciated. If you are interested, let me know and I can explain further what you can do. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 14:55, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Sure! I've never looked into that area before though ;) benzband  ( talk ) 14:58, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * It's an area not many editors want to work in, because discussions about this can result in A LOT of heat :) To explain a bit more, the Wikimedia Foundation adopted a resolution that allows Wikimedia projects (including the English Wikipedia) to adopt a policy to use copyrighted material, such as images, under a claim of fair use. (No, you don't have to be a lawyer to work in that area :) ). This policy for the English Wikipedia is Non-free content criteria. There are LOTS of copyrighted images (generally called non-free images) which need to be reviewed for whether their use on Wikipedia is valid under fair use (actually under the non-free content criteria). We have WAAAY too few people working on this. Non-free files with suspicious fair use claims or other problems are discussed at non-free content review. There are some automatically generated reports that can detect some of the images and files with problems regarding the non-free content policy. I am one of only a handful of editors (I believe) working through these reports, identify the problems with a specific file / article and outline those problems for discussion at non-free content review. Then a consensus can be reached on whether a particular use of a file is appropriate or not. So if you are interested, just let me know. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 15:17, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I should also mention that this is a monotonous and practically never ending task and you won't get lots of barnstars or other shiny things for it. If you work there, there's always something to do. :) -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 15:29, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * If that's not something you want to do, you can also take a look at Category:Wikipedia backlog. There are many other backlogs that also need attention. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 15:49, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * I often do "monotonous and practically never ending task(s)". The way i deal with it is doing a bit of one, then switch to another for a bit, and so on (see my userpage for a list of things to do :D ). So i should find non-free files that are in violation of WP:NFCC and discuss them at NFCR? Where can i find the bot report to start my search? benzband  ( talk ) 19:05, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * There are two reports. The first one is located at Database reports/Non-free files missing a rationale and is generated by a bot which updates the report daily. The other one (which I am using) is run on the toolserver and can be found here. The toolserver report is not being updated very often, and some of the top violations have already been resolved. The latest use I reported to NFCR was 2008 Toyota/Save Mart 350. Everything below should still be unreported/unresolved as of this post. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 22:45, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay thanks! benzband  ( talk ) 22:52, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

 * I fixed it. When you want to edit a reference, you have to look where the reference number appears in the article text. In this case, it's after the second sentence between ref tags, looking like . You have to figure out, where the reference is located in the Wiki code and edit that part.

Wikipedia Hong Kong
Yesterday I updated the Hong Kong Tramways page on Wikipedia UK, but when I went to do the same on the Hong Kong site I find that I can't get access to edit, can someone tell me why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.39.54.191 (talk) 15:37, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * There is no Hong Kong Wikipedia, but there is a Chinese Wikipedia. If the article does not exist there, go ahead and create it!--ukexpat (talk) 15:50, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * If you are referring to the Hong Kong page here at the English Wikipedia, then the reason you cannot edit it is because it is protected by a mechanism called semi-protection. People editing under an IP cannot edit such pages, only people who are logged in and have an account that is autoconfirmed can edit such pages. Creating an account is free and provides some other benefits, but is not required as long as you don't want to edit semi-protected pages. Registering an account also provides some other benefits, which are outlined at Why create an account?. If you don't want to register an account, you can propose the update at Talk:Hong Kong. -- Toshio Yamaguchi (tlk−ctb) 15:59, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * OK, I've gone on to the Chinese Wikipedia Hong Kong Tramways page with my account open and I still can't edit the reference section, why not? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lurdenlaw (talk • contribs) 18:21, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * You will have to ask that at the Chinese Wikipedia Help Desk.--ukexpat (talk) 18:39, 9 August 2012 (UTC)


 * But if the Chinese WP uses the same mechanism for references as the English, the references are actually defined where they are used in the article, not in the References section. See WP:Referencing for beginners. --ColinFine (talk) 18:57, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

If that's the case, perhaps you can describe what you're going for and we can suggest how to do it using the markup described at Template:Userbox. BigNate37(T) 18:44, 9 August 2012 (UTC)

 * In Great Britain at the 1980 Summer Olympics, I read "The UK government allowed its athletes to choose whether to compete". Isn't that what almost every country does, for every Olympics? I think it means that the UK did not send an official team, but its athletes competed without an official UK affiliation. Maybe someone who understands this stuff could add a footnote to List_of_Olympic_medalists_in_athletics_(men)? Maproom (talk) 07:50, 10 August 2012 (UTC)
