Woah - that's a lot of code! - How to make a template

I noticed to be a lot of edits to the The Daily Show page and it's anchors' page. You added what looks like the format below. This is something yhat should be made a template. To make a template, lets call it the Daily Show template. You just type "Template:Daily Show" or "Template:The Daily Show" in the wikipedia search bar or follow this link: Template:Daily Show. To make the template, just cut and paste the html code into the page and click save. Then add the text {{Daily Show}} into the page code - like this: {{Daily Show}} (see code). It appeares like the first Template:Daily Show link until the template is made. See Wikipedia:Template messages for more info. Hope this helps. -Hyad 05:05, August 22, 2005 (UTC)

Hallelujah! Somebody finally tells me how to make the template! Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! :) --J L C Leung 08:50, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

lol - it was definitely a lot of html code. Here's another tip: you can click "Edit This Page" at the top of this page. While you are editing the webpage, you may notice that right below the "Save page" button at the bottom of the screen, there is a list of all the templates used on this page.

Did you copy & paste the template or make it from scratch?

~~I was wondering if you could answer me this: how come the {{Daily Show}} template always aligns itself at the bottom of the page and centers all the code below where the template was referenced?~~ I was asking "why does the template look strange?" The answer is that the table inside the template was not finished. Click here to see what I did to fix the template. It was pretty simple. -Hyad 07:10, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you just said...I'm still an amateur at all of this. :) If it's possible...and I'm not trying to be rude...but can you please repeat all of that in English? I looked once at your words and it put a giant ? on the top of my head! --J L C Leung 04:54, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

OK, fair enough. I've made the changes to what I wrote. Hopefully ,it is easier to read now. Below is a simple example of a table. This is to show you how to make a simple table which you can put in a template. See Wikipedia:How to use tables or Meta:Help:Table for more info. -Hyad 07:10, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket

Hi

I've seen you've made a number of cricket-related articles and wondered whether you were aware of Wikipedia:WikiProject Cricket. Please feel free to pop along and join, if you wish. It's essentially an area where cricket-loving Wikipedians let each other know what they're doing, find people to collaborate on cricket-related articles and generally improve the coverage of cricket on WP. Kind regards, jguk 11:18, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Crows Logo

I posted a new one, and is the same. However, it is a gif image, not a png image. Therefore, no 30px is needed. NoseNuggets 9:18 AM US EDT Sept 3 2005.

If you can somehow shrink the pic a little bit more, since it is still looking very awkward when left without a 30px tag...it is larger than all the other logos, and I don't want some other team's supporters crowing about why their team's logo is smaller than the Crows. I hope you will understand. --J L C Leung 23:23, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hi. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Happy editing! — Insta ntnood 12:36, 22 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney Swans

Hi JLC, I've seen your work over the last few weeks and I just wanted to bring up a couple of things.

I'm amazed at the breadth of your interest in Australian sport, particularly Australian rules. Do you have some connection with Australia?
In regard to the final placing of the Swans in 2005, the correct placing is "1", despite their third placing after the home-and-away rounds. In most Australian sports (certainly Australian football and the NRL), a team's placing is determined by its performance over the entire season, including finals. This is why the minor premiership (finishing first after the home-and-away series) is treated with such little fanfare even though it is perhaps more difficult to achieve than a good performance in September alone. It is also important as it is this number which determines the selection order in the various player drafts which will occur over the next few weeks - the Swans' first pick will be pick 19, not 17 (remembering that Carlton, Collingwood and Hawthorn all qualified for additional priority draft picks this year). The Swans pre-finals position of third is completely irrelevant, and if you had to insert a footnote every time there was a difference between a club's pre- and post-finals position in such a table the whole thing would be impossible to follow. Consider clubs such as Collingwood or Port Adelaide who regularly topped the ladder but failed to win the flag.
It seems to me that this sort of issue would be a good thing to resolve as an AFL Wikiproject, rather like Wikiproject Cricket. Perhaps we should look at starting one up? Seems that there are a few interested people around.

Anyway, keep up the great work! --The Brain of Morbius 06:36, 27 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I completely agree with The Brain about the the correct placing being 1, not 3, but it is the whole table that is incorrect in this regard, not just the 2005 result (see the 1996 result, for example). Where did you get those figures from, JLC? JPD 08:52, 30 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have no hand in creating the chart, actually... --J L C Leung 05:50, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Good point - sorry for assuming you did. JPD 14:47, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Adelaide.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Adelaide.gif. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Arnie587 01:47, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I...uh...didn't do that. Seriously, I didn't upload that logo...I just found it and used it, but I am sure that I did not upload it. --J L C Leung 09:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. I asked a question about your wording at Talk:2005 International Rules Series, and you haven't answered. I thought I'd just make sure you knew I'd asked. JPD (talk) 15:06, 18 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Jbob.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jbob.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Agnte 12:24, 20 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Australian rules football

G'day mate, I notice that you are a very avid Australian rules football fan, like me. Don't know if you've noticed, but I have gone to a lot of trouble in setting up WikiProject AFL, almost singlehandedly. I have made over 1,000 edits to AFL players and you can check that out by looking at Category:Australian rules footballers. I recommend that you join the WP:AFL as we need to get some more people involved in the greatest sport on Earth. Cheers, Rogerthat 04:02, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Invitation for WikiProject AFL still stands mate. R o gerthat ^Talk 02:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Morocca.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Morocca.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. - NYC JD (interrogatories) 20:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
