Flagicons

Regarding the flagicons, they are legitimately used on election templates to differentiate templates of different countries when used on the same page, and as such are the standard for all those templates.

In addition, the whole flagicon thing is almost entirely down to just two users, only one of which continues with the crusade. I'm not for overlooking wiki policy, but if there's any one that deserves ignoring because it doesn't reflect mainstream consensus, it's this one. пﮟოьεԻ 57 15:45, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but they appeared to be blind reverts, as they removed useful changes other than adding the flagicon (e.g. linking to an existing article on politics).[1] Apologies if you also meant to reinstate the redlink. пﮟოьεԻ 57 16:53, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
FWIW: Flagicons can be removed from view by css. Agathoclea (talk) 15:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
These templates link in the flagicon to the country, so I don't know how it will look (and work) if the flag is switched off. But as I said on the corresponding talk page, it's not my problem. Sebastian scha. (talk) 17:12, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Verbindungsbahn (Stuttgart)

I saw your addition to the Verbindungsbahn (Stuttgart) article to do with the lack of references. Here is my question: Since the article is tagged in the discussion page as a translation from the German article, and this German article has references (if only 2), does that suffice, and mean that this article can stand alone without repeating the references, or should the references seen in the German article be carried forward into the translated article? I am totally open to suggestions - is there a page that explains this issue? Thank you! Concertmusic (talk) 16:34, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your answer on my talk page. I have added the references used in the German article, and have changed the template to {{refimprove}} . One additional question: I think one could assume that the article is largely based on the one item listed in the Literature section, based on the fact that the book appears to be about the Verbindungsbahn, and has 226 pages. However, this is not stated anywhere. If the facts as stated cannot be researched further, and the book seems to be out-of-print, I would still argue that the article should be kept, as it appears to provide useful, if unreferenced information. What are your thoughts? Concertmusic (talk) 19:00, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Temporary injunction and your use of my monobook script

Hi Sebastian,

I am pleased to see that you have used my monobook script in the past; I hope you've found it useful.

This is to let you know that ArbCom has announced a temporary injunction against the "mass delinking of dates". You can still delink dates on an occasional basis; however, you may wish to be cautious and use the script only for its non-date functions until the issue is resolved by an RFC poll. You may wish to express your view on autoformatting and date linking in the RFC at: Wikipedia:Date_formatting_and_linking_poll.
