You gonna be around on the meetup time?

just asking Satu Suro 06:37, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

It would be very civilising - to have a context where a family friendly environment would be required - possibly your enfant might want to be nominated the mascot/patron/spokesperson/chair/ of the wa wikipedia group? - it would certainly put us in the media possibility of coverage beyond the usual boring 10th birthday type stuff :) Satu Suro 07:32, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

We once had an infant (enfant) as the mascot of our softball team. We won every game she attended, so I can't see how it went bad. Cheers. --kelapstick^(bainuu) 12:06, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Christian Baracat

Hi, thanks for getting back to me on this, it is much appreciated. Basically I work with him and whilst you are correct that there is nothing negative about him in the article, the fact is that he does not want this Wikipedia page to exist. Whilst I know it is not up to him, he has only 5 caps for Germany, obtained when he was still quite young, and he is genuinely frustrated that someone has set up this page without even bothering to contact him. I genuinely wonder how many people visit his page, and whilst, as you say, rugby internationals may well be worthy of being on Wikipedia, this is the German rugby team and not England, France, NZ, etc, and it would be really very much appreciated if you could delete this page. Please consider making this an exception. Try and understand a young guy's feelings. The rugby world will not be worse off for this, I am sure, and I speak as a fan of both rugby and Wikipedia.

Thanks for this and happy to discuss further if you want. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robccfc (talk • contribs) 18:04, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, we will do what you say. I don't mean to demean the German rugby team, but even he was amazed to find himself on the page. I'm not sure Toby Flood or George Gregan would have had the same reaction!I know we all have online personalities which we can't do much about, but I guess he thought Wikipedia was more popular and, yes, perhaps he feared some people would vandalise it, I don't know.

Thanks anyway! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Robccfc (talk • contribs) 23:42, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

Lakes

I saw something recently - cannot remember - will have to search Satu Suro 00:15, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Speer and rugby

I have seen this mentioned in passing in a couple of places, usually as a tertiary source. I haven't tracked down a decent one for a reference, nor have I found out which level he got to (certainly not national AFAIK).

A quick internet search (not the best search for references in my view) brings up the following from The good Nazi: the life and lies of Albert Speer By Dan Van der Vat:

"He became a better than average all-round sportsman, taking up not only skiiing and mountaineering (local opportunities abounded), but also rugby football, a rare pastime in Germany, but on offer in his Heidelberg school."

I've no idea if "school" is being used here in the American sense of "university", but I'd doubt it. I also wonder if he only ever played in Heidelberg.

Not unnaturally, most of the books on Speer concentrate on his relationship with Hitler. Speer's own Inside the Third Reich, which is his autobiography is much the same - self-justification in the wake of what happened, pen portraits of leading Nazis, plus his cultural and political views... without too much about his early life.

I've actually been considering writing something about Che Guevara and rugby union, but it's really hard finding material for that.--MacRusgail (talk) 18:55, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Much the same problem with El Che. He got his early nickname "Fuser" from his rugby playing.--MacRusgail (talk) 16:36, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Landesliga Bayern

Here are the sources for promotion playoff in for each of the Bezirke:

I could not download the promotion info, but this is some information:

You can get information for the different bezirke from the Bayern FA site and go to each of the regional home page (Oberfranken & Oberpfalz pages are above) by scroll on Der BFV for the bezirke. Click on Amtliches, then Herren and Aufsteig/Absteig Entscheidung. There are promotion regulations for the Bezirksligen and the lower levels. I hope that helps. Raul17 (talk) 15:25, 25 July 2011 (UTC)

Glad I could help. I wish I can find the promotion/relegation for 2012-13! With 15 Bezirksligen, I am guessing that each Landesligen will relegate three clubs, but I can not find if the Landesliga had qualifying matches for the slots above the direct relegation zones before Bezirksoberligen were created. I am sure that tradition of a qualifying playoff will continue: five 4-team groups (each group with a 14th placed Landesliga club & three Bizirksliga runners-up); in the 1st round, two teams pair off with the two winners advancing to the 2nd round for promotion. I think that is more fair than the old system limiting two or three Bezirksoberliga to a regional Landesliga. It is more like the Spanish Tercera División promotion playoffs to Segunda División B. Raul17 (talk) 06:45, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I am sure that they will use playoff method above, but they can also a blind draw. The 1st round has clubs drawn in ten pairins with winners advancing to the 2nd round for promotion. The negative is that the LL clubs could play each other at some point in the playoff. With the group playoff, all five LL clubs have a chance re-qualify; with the exception of the Landesliga Mitte playoff, the LL club played the loser of the runners-up playoff. You can group clubs by regions. I think that will be unlikely because that might mean placing clubs from stronger regions together and weakening the leagues.

Mines

Thanks. I can't really take any credit as I just adapted it from {{Infobox airport}}. One side benefit was that several articles had the coordinates missing template but had a location map with the coordinates. So I managed to clear a few of those as well. I still have to edit the template to remove the old map system, I left it for now so they didn't break, so put in what you are interested in. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 22:07, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

There are just under 400 articles using the mine infobox and less than 100 using the gold mine. Using AWB helps but there is still quite a bit of manual editing. It really saves time in opening the article for editing. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 22:20, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like mines up here. I think that should be fairly simple. A new section with multiple openings and closings and leave the current open/close in place for mines that only opened and closed once. The option would be to choose one or the other. Would you want the header to say 1st opening' and 1st closure up to 10 with the last one being Final closure. Or would closing be a better word. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 22:57, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

ahah the open/shut em game with the mines must be a nightmare to adequately explain - good to see there is a template like box thingo that can cope - considering the pundits at the moment saying there could be some few shuts happening in the next 6 months due to the US $ and its terrible status Satu Suro 01:12, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Done and without having to change anything else. See the test cases here. Would have done it earlier but I had to help with the house cleaning. @SatuSuro, it was due to the Hudson's Bay Company. @Calistemon, BHP Billiton were up here for a while now in our direct area at the Hope Bay site, Hope Bay Aerodrome, is Newmont Mining Corporation. Strangely enough there was an editorial I saw not long ago comparing residence mines like Polaris mine and Nanisivik over the 3 weeks in 2 weeks out mines. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 04:07, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Been there and done that. Now it's the daughter-in-law who sorts it out. She waits till her husband (my son) is gone and then gets me to help with it. He still thinks that house cleaning and rearranging is something for discussion. I just say OK and then ask for detailed instructions. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 10:32, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Just wondering but should all gold mines use the specific {{Infobox gold mine}} rather than the generic {{Infobox mine}}? I just noticed that none of the gold mines in the Northwest Territories seem to be using it. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 12:58, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Are you aware of any way to autocollapse the Infobox mine and Infobox gold mine, having a look at the work I was doing on Fort Knox, and is present in may other articles, If the lead of the article is not massive (three paragraphs) the infobox is too big to fit above the second section, and presses everything to the left (I do have a rather large monitor). Anyway, any pictures don't get added to the sections, the are pressed to the bottom, and it looks like shite. The big thing the infobox is good for, at an isntant, is the map and image (IMO), if we could reduce everything else to hidded (like templates) and default to those two pieces, that might make it the articles more visually apealing.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 17:29, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

We could set a, variable autocolapse or something, then adjust it to suit the article size. The templates are not that exhaustive that we couldn't manually adjust, or we might apply for a bot to change it I suppose if it were more than I anticipate. Looks like I will be in Perth around 25 September for a few days, maybe 2-4.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 11:00, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

This process is much more painful when you are in one country, and your spouse is in another, with all the documents you need to gather...It would be helpful if we had a scanner at home still.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 09:16, 22 October 2011 (UTC)

German football task force

There is nothing preventing the German football group from being equally subsidiary to WP:GERMANY, WP:MUNICH or WP:FOOTY. I only moved it to its current title because all the other national football task forces are located as subpages of WP:FOOTY. You're right that I perhaps should have mentioned the proposal on the project talk page, but there has been a lengthy discussion of the matter at WT:FOOTY for a good few weeks now. If you're that opposed to the move, by all means move it back and we can have a proper discussion, but as things stand not much has really changed. After all, assessment of German football articles was already done using Template:WikiProject Football. – Pee Jay 00:00, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

It is true that the German group differed from the Persepolis debacle in a great many ways, but how different are you from WP:ArF? The Argentine group also has its own portal and covers an entire country's worth of football, just like the German group. Same goes for the Australian project and all of the other countries that exist quite happily as task forces. Like I said, if you feel that strongly about it, go ahead and revert the move, but I very much doubt that consensus at WT:FOOTY will change just for the German group. – Pee Jay 00:09, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Are you intentionally ignoring my suggestion? If you want to move it back, do so and we will discuss the Project's future. – Pee Jay 00:24, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

OK, but in the interests of fairness, I suggest that you mention the discussion at WP:FOOTY. – Pee Jay 00:29, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Good on you for being the bigger man then. – Pee Jay 09:37, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Oh god, not the "iz it becoz i iz black" argument. If you would care to read the discussion at WT:NLF, you would notice that that discussion is about the name of the potential new task force; obviously, given the fact that I was starting the discussion, it made sense to give them another chance to object. However, in the case of the German football group, the new name was obvious, given that there is a precedent for country-wide football task forces; therefore, in that regard, there was no need to start a discussion. There was clearly an argument for seeking more opinions about whether the move should be made at all, but that discussion is happening now, so what are you complaining about? As I have said multiple times, if you really want to, you can move the pages back! – Pee Jay 10:05, 31 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello, you contacted me because you have nominated the File:SKV-Wappen.png on commons for deletion. But this file isn't non-free content.

The non-invitation of rescuers who were not employed by Government

Do you have any references about Marcel Gleffe and other "private rescuers" of refugees not being invited to Norway's Government's event in Oslo Spektrum, a few weeks after the massacre. Gleffe and the other rescuers were not invited (allegedly because the Government could not locate any of the rescuers that were not employed by local rescue services.)

The people invited to the event included medical personell, police and politicians. I am not sure if survivors were invited.--155.55.60.112 (talk) 10:34, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

DYK Nom

Care to do one on Fort Knox Gold Mine, Kupol Gold Mine, and Round Mountain Gold Mine? Those three should be over 1,500 characters (I think).--kelapstick^(bainuu) 04:58, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hmmmm, could go for two or three seperate DYKs

Fort Knox - Staked in 1913, first pour in 1996
Round Mountain - not much interesting, maybe it's expansion is opposed by NGOs, but that isn't very interesting eitehr
Kupol - refered to as "one of the world's most isolated gold mines"

When is the next Perth meetup, I get into town on the 7th.--kelapstick^(bainuu) 05:37, 9 December 2011 (UTC)

Hi Calistemon

Understand the reasons behind the links process violation.

I still think there should be one or two links avialable for readers to find further information

Is there a process I could still go thru
