Hi, just seen that you reverted my edit to the Template:8TeamBracket template. I can't see where WP:ENGVAR comes into it, is there a regional variant that uses "Finals" for a single final match anywhere? - fchd 12:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the explanation on my talk page. I thought I had a reasonable knowledge of US Sport (or "Sports"!), and can't remember coming across the use of "finals". I just thought it was a mistake. I certainly knew the use of the term "Bracket" in the name of the template was US English. Now I know, I can do as you suggested, and where necessary, use the RD3 parameter. Incidentally, in my work, I use "Quarter Finals" as two words, but "Semi-Finals" as one hyphenated word! - fchd 07:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Banner
Is there any way to get rid of the new messages banner? It's getting annoying and IT WON'T GO AWAY 71.99.83.251 18:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
- Of course you realize that it gets turned on everytime someone other than yourself makes an edit to your discussion page, even if that edit is only minor. And editing as an anonymous IP address instead of creating an account may make the problem even worse because some IP addresses change periodically, and may be shared by several users. Therefore, you may get messages that are not intended for you.
- On the other hand, if you did create an account, you would be able to customize the appearance and behavior of this website so the banner would be less annoying. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 18:45, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

request undeletion
This image which was supposedly on commons is not on commons. The version there is different, with the face blurred. It looks awful, and since there's no legal reason why the english wiki, hosted in the USA, needs to use the blurred version. For the reason of the difference, see Image talk:Family Forum march supporter.jpg#Version on Commons and bear in mind that WJBscribe is a lawyer (although is of course not dispensing "legal advice" here, but does know what he's talking about). The commons version is great for the wikis that need it, but we don't need it and it reduces the quality here. — coelacan — 04:39, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I know this is a newbie question, but that's the kind of question a newbie asks ... I've been trying to use the template, e.g. in Joe Girardi, and the lists of clubs and of highlights seem to left-justify. Would you mind advising me, please, on how to centre? (And, of course, I'd appreciate your pov on the aesthetic value thereof!) Thanks much --AndrewHowse 16:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- See Babe Ruth and the the other articles that use that template. "teams" and "highlights" are suppose to be bulleted lists. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 20:46, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

SR 37 is not a freeway before the White Slough. Plus, your attempt to combine the sections is not the way WP:USRD does it. We keep those sections separate, since there is a need to distinguish between at-grade and limited-access. V60 VTalk · VDemolitions 20:46, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

After adding the San Francisco government articles to the SF template, I was thinking of adding a row for prominent events in SF history (The Mission, the Gold Rush, the two Pretty Big Ones, the Longshore Strike, the Freeway Revolt, the Moscone/Milk assassinations, etc.), but I think it might make the template a bit too cluttered. What do you think of a separate sub-navigation bar for San Francisco history that would have room enough to incorporate smaller things like Black Bart, Fatty Arbuckle, Zodiac, the Zebra murders, Patty Hearst, 101 California, and pretty much everything up to Fajitagate? There are articles on all this stuff and more floating around on Wikipedia and just begging to be joined together somehow. --Dynaflow 23:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- I would prefer a separate template, similar to Template:US history. There are already 81 articles listed in Category:History of San Francisco. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:45, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, let me think about how this could be structured... --Dynaflow 03:38, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keeping with the style of the City and County of San Francisco template, I've tentatively come up with this: Template:History of San Francisco. It's not filled in, by any means, and items will need to be rearranged within the categories once all the relevant articles have been marshalled together. What do you think about the categorizations? Can you think of anything that I migt have missed, better category names, etc.?--Dynaflow 06:05, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

The Stanley Cup
I noticed the pics you replaced. However, I have a question about the Glen Wesley one in the lead. Won't it be more effective (and to me, look better), if we cropped out Wesley and left only the Stanley Cup? Evilclown93 13:14, 9 April 2007 (UTC) Look here.
- You seem to have missed the whole point of that ongoing copyright debate concerning images that just depict sports trophies i.e. whether an image of just the Stanley Cup is actually fair use: a two-dimensional representation of a copyrighted sculpture, statue or any other three-dimensional work of art, and thus is a derivative work of art, and per US Copyright Act of 1976, § 106(2) who owns copyright of the original has the exclusive right to authorize derivative works. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not image expert by any standard, but is the Stanley Cup copyrighted? Does a picture taken of it qualify as copyvio. For example, if I went to the HHOF, and snapped a picture of it, how will that qualify? Evilclown93 17:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- That is the the primary debate: whether the Stanley Cup is copyrighted. It looks like those who are pushing this deletion issued are taking the "better safe than sorry approach" i.e., if they do not have proof that it is free, then they want to deleted. See this deletion discussion concerning Commons:Image:StanleyCup.jpg, which I myself uploaded. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 17:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- And as a matter of fact, a user went to the HHOF a few years ago and took Image:Hhof stanley cup.jpg. And of course, that was put up for deletion as well. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 17:36, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

- So, why can't Wikimedia ask the NHL about that? Or, if it is centred around Lord Stanley's descendants, won't copyright not apply, since it there really wasn't a rigid meaning in 1883? Evilclown93 17:57, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Stanley Cup Playoffs 2007
Thanks for removing the images that violated the wikipedia policy on the fair use of copyrighted images. I was unsure of whether I should remove this since it did not appear to qualify as fair use, and additionally, it did not appear elsewhere on the previous Stanley Cup Playoffs articles. I appreciate your work. Thanks again! --Sukh17 T • C • E 00:12, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I am curious how the layout of this page will evolve. The 2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs article was the first such one on Wikipedia; 2005 was the canceled season, and 2004 and before there were not enough users who were committed to such a topic. As you can see on Talk:2006 Stanley Cup Playoffs, there was much discussion on the design of the layout. I am a bit surprised that no one has yet attempted to do what was put on Ice hockey at the 2006 Winter Olympics — an actual table or template similar to Template:Footballbox.

- As stated on the selected anniversaries guidelines, births and deaths can only be used on centennials, etc. Since Charlie Chaplin was born in 1889, he would only be 118 years old. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Main
Hi there! I found some "selected anniversary" pages of last week that were still protected for being on the main page. I believe these should have been unprotected by now? >Radiant< 12:07, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, I would say that most of those 366 pages are still protected because nobody has bothered to unprotect them on a regular basis. Of course, many of these were protected and unprotected manually – before the main page vandalism on December 2006 as described here, here, here, and here led one admin to leave a message to the person who did unprotect them occasionally to stop doing it.
- This all led to what is now the "cascading protection" feature, but it also opened up another opportunity for vandalism. As described here, a vandal can transclude various articles on unprotected templates at 23:59 UTC, seconds before it falls under the main page. Once the clock strikes 0:00 UTC, these various articles will also automatically be cascade protected. See [3] for one example, and [4] and this page I had to delete for another. As a result, I try to protect the rotating main page templates for FA, SA, and POTD manually.
- I suppose, ever since the expiry time feature was implemented, I could use that. How does that sound? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 16:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Memorial
I was thinking - wouldn't it be nice to add the following:
to the main page of Wikipedia? Perhaps for the next few days? I got the idea from the following: Memory-Alpha which i frequently visit. We could change the message around a bit, but I was thinking the general idea of Wikipedia putting something up on the front page would be nice. PoeticXcontribs 06:42, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
- I cannot remember exactly where they are posted in the various archived discussions, but the only time I can recall seeing a message similar like that was after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake happened. But keep in mind that affected several countries. Even a suggestion after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 was shot down by some of the thousands of other users who do not live in the USA or those that complain that Wikipedia is "too USA-centric". Wikipedia is not a memorial. With all due respect, I personally would rather not go down a slippery slope where we post a "community's thoughts and prayers go out to the friends and families of the victims of X" every time a disaster or tragic event happens around the world. Best. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 13:29, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Interested in hosting a bot?
Since you're an admin on both Wikipedia and Commons, I wonder if you might be interested in hosting a MainPage image protection bot. As I see it, the bot would only need to put mprotected on MainPage images and then set a 24 hour protection at Commons. I'm not a programming person, so I couldn't do this myself, but I believe that this is something that could be done with relative ease. What do you think? Would you be interested in hosting a bot if we could get someone to write it? Should we put up something at Wikipedia:Bot requests? Thanks.--Pharos 07:26, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- A number of issues, not in any particular order:
- You may want to contact User:Dragons flight to see if he still has his source code for ProtectionBot, which he designed as a possible solution to protect main page templates and images. Although the comments on the RFA of ProtectionBot eventually led to User:Werdna writing the cascading protection feature, ProtectionBot did have the ability to upload images locally from Commons.
- Based on this discussion among others, there is a growing percentage of Commons users who would prefer that we stop directly protecting the commons version and exclusively use {{c-uploaded}}. Therefore, the ideal bot would have to actually save and upload images. Because of cascading protection on the main page, the bot does not really need to protect these.
- I know that at least one admin, User:David Levy, regularly likes to "m-crop" images on the FA and SA templates so they are almost perfect 100x100px squares. Should the bot be able to do that too, or should it protect the original version anyway just in case someone does not "m-crop" it?
- For images actually stored here on Wikipedia, I am not sure the bot really needs to add {{mprotected}} because of cascading protection. I cannot remember exactly where it is in the archived discussion, but I remember reading somewhere that you do not need to add a protection tag on every single page, template, or image that goes under a cascading protection. Therefore, I think the bot's only primary task would be to check if the image is either stored here on Wikipedia or on Commons.
- Finally, I am not sure I should host the bot because my computer is not on 24/7, due to various reasons. Either someone else should, or there should be clones (like how User:MartinBot is a clone of User:AntiVandalBot).

Unilateral editing -- merging all MVP related titles to Man of the match without consensus
You did not even attempt to properly seek consensus before changing all those pages! This is a mess, and needs to be rectified. Please revert all your changes until such time as there is a proper discussion between multiple individuals. -- KirinX 05:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Huh? I did not see anyone remove the merge tag from Man of the Match? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 05:29, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I admit that I lost track of when I tagged it, and was not paying attention to the edit history. I apologise. Best. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 06:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- No big problem.. It's just that "MVP", "Man of the match", and all those individual awards pages are, in my opinion, for the most part legit in being individual articles. I agree many "MVP" pages should be featured as sections in the main MVP article, perhaps even the "Man of the match" playing a part in each respective article. But "man of the match" quite simply refers to a match, whereas MVPs are usually a full-season award, or an award for a very special series or game. I just feel that there should be overlap on this one, as it's not a clear-cut subject. Investigate the {{main}} template if you don't know what I'm talking about. Talk to you later, I imagine we will be conversing more about this, hopefully in a very constructive manner! :) -- KirinX 17:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: NFL Project
No problem (makes sense, too). Tomorrow, when I have more time, I plan on fixing/adding tags through all the categories you have listed on the project page (but I don't have the patience just yet to tackle the Category:Unassessed National Football League articles :). I also intend on tonight (in a few minutes) tagging/assessing Patriots player, season, coach, and other figure articles/stubs. Pats1 00:43, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Is there any way to modify the National Football League categories for a "List-Class National Football League Articles" category is created, and that with the template and category classes are added to the "National Football League articles by quality" category? For example, List of National Football League stadiums is assessed as a list but is still categorized as "Unnassessed." Pats1 15:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- The WikiProject tag is using the standard wikicode based on the standard quality scale classes that are listed on WP:COUNCIL/AFAQ#Quality scale. AFAIK, a seperate "List-Class" category has never been created and used in any other WikiProject, as all lists are treated, accessed, and graded like articles.

California State Route 1
Please explain your reasoning for re-adding such a long and detailed listing of local names back into the lead. You used this edit summary:
- (As per the guidelines of WP:R#What needs to be done on pages that are targets of redirects?, merging the "Segment names" section back to the lead intro section)
Are there such redirects, and if so, where are they? Wouldn't it be more logical to change them, than to violate the principles regarding WP:LEAD?
I would suggest changing the redirects, restoring the section, and then mentioning that section in the lead, according to the guidelines for the lead:
- State Route 1, often called Highway 1, is a state highway that runs along a large length of the Pacific coast of the U.S. State of California. Certain segments of the highway have their own (local) names. Highway 1 is famous for running by some of the most beautiful coastlines in the world, leading to its designation as an All-American Road.
How does that sound? If there are redirects that need changing, I'd be happy to help do it. -- Fyslee/talk 06:57, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Infobox: AFL
Hey, can you help me out at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Infobox_AFL. I'm trying to create AFL articles for all the years of their existence, but I can't perfect the box. Help? Thanks! Soxrock 23:28, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- Are you planning to split American Football League seasons into seperate articles or what? Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- And what about American Football League playoffs and American Football League All-Star games. Perhaps it would be better for you to create/split the AFL season articles first before I know exactly what should/should not be in the infobox. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Well, I'm starting with 1969 and working back to 1960, and I won't really get too much started tonight, but yes, I'm splitting them. Dang I wish that RemembertheAFL was here right now. Soxrock 23:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
- He has not used that account for several months now. He uses a different account now, but I cannot remember what it is at the moment. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 23:49, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

MainPage images
I'm not going to have access to a computer for the next couple of days, so I've c-uploaded May 27 and May 28 in advance. I haven't been able to touch the POTD, though, since you haven't selected these yet. Please keep an extra eye on things for me (for whatever POTD images you select and if the other MainPage images change). Thanks.--Pharos 12:32, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
