Souvlaki (2005 Castle Music re-issue) suggestion

Just a suggestion. Since Souvlaki (album) already includes the 2006 re-release, is there anything so special about Souvlaki (2005 Castle Music re-issue)? I think we should copy anything new over and make it a redirect. Respond on my talk page if you could. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 22:06, 21 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good suggestion. I went ahead and made the changes.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:31, 14 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

TNS

The reason was "-extlink with no specifically related bluelink". The TNS article, as with most wikipedia list articles, is only for pointers to actual wikipedia pages, and wikipedia is definitely not a directory of companies or other off-wiki items. Transaction Network Services is not an article (it's a redlink). DMacks (talk) 19:48, 11 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, there is no Wikipedia article about Transaction Network Services. So it makes sense not to include it in the acronyms.

Disambiguation link notification for December 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Adamantine (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Séléka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR references

Hi. I really don't understand what you mean by "joke edits" and "snarky cites". All the edits I've done to Séléka CPSK-CPJP-UFDR were in good faith, and none of them were quips. I can also assure you that I'm not annoyed. Besides, I never addded any references to that specific article. All of those were added by other people. Seeing as I don't see a proper reason to remove that reference, I reinserted it. —♦♦ AMBER^(ЯʘCK) 07:58, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your userpage

Hey, just passing by to mention that your userpage has a category "Infobox templates" that I thought wasn't supposed to be there. Not sure if this was on purpose or an accident. Yatalu (talk) 07:53, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use File:Jana McCall (self portrait).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Jana McCall (self portrait).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 22:38, 21 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Stefan2 I added File:Jana McCall, music artist, self portrait.jpg . Hopefully that's acceptable.

Dates

I noticed your edits at PuTTY where {{date}} was added. The template documentation includes This template should only be used internally in other templates. I do not think that template should be used in articles as it just clutters the wikitext. Is there a reason to use it? Johnuniq (talk) 01:10, 4 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Oh wow, I did not see that section of the {{date}} page. Thanks for letting me know. If I understand correctly then

This template should only be used internally in other templates.

would mean a {{date}} could be used inside, for example, a the use of a {{cite}} template. Is tha
t your understanding as well, Johnuniq?

JamesThomasMoon1979 04:24, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, a template might need to use {{date}}. It is hard to find examples, but there is one at Template:Educational assignment which includes:

{{date|{{{date}}}|{{{dateformat|}}}}}

I believe that usage is typical. There is a date parameter which someone can enter using any convenient format (1 April 2019 or April 1, 2019 or 2019-04-01 or more) and {{date}} will apply a specified format to that so the date is displayed in a standard way. There is no reason to use {{date}} in an article, and the clutter means it should not be so used. Johnuniq (talk) 05:12, 8 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the wrong usage from the PuTTY article.

It is hard to find examples

I use {{date}} in all {{cite}} templates (examples in my contributions).

Johnuniq, do you know offhand if there is an in-article template for a date? As a date will vary by the reader's calendar locale.

JamesThomasMoon1979 01:40, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Have you noticed that dates at Wikipeda are not in a template (except for sortable tables)? The documentation at {{cite web}} has examples showing the date, and nowhere does it say to put a date in a template. Dates from references are reported as written in the source. Generally timezones do not matter because the exact time something occurred is rarely of encyclopedic importance. When it does matter (say if reporting the time a tornado hit a particular location), the time is given with fixed text (no template) and the timezone as reported in reliable sources is included. Asking at WP:HELPDESK would confirm that you should not put dates in templates. In general, timestamps at Wikipedia are given in UTC although there are some scripts which a logged-in user can enable to translate UTC times to a local time. Dates should not vary according to a reader's locale. Johnuniq (talk) 05:10, 10 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
