——————————————— Archive 2012 ——————————————— January Nomination for deletion of NATO Army warrant officer templates NATO Army warrant officer templates have been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Officer781 (talk) 08:41, 2 January 2012 (UTC) Warrant Officers of NATO As I now am convinced the warrant officer templates are worthy to keep, I think we need to put all the different countries' warrant officers all into the same category. Other than the countries which already have warrant officer templates, to aid in classifying warrant officers, these are the warrant officer ranks of the different countries: Adjudant ranks of Belgium, France (in which rank system also includes Major) and The Netherlands Офицерски кандидат ranks of Bulgaria Warrant Officer ranks of Canada and United Kingdom (this is quite obvious ;)) zászlós ranks of Hungary puskarininkis ranks of Lithuania praporščak ranks of Slovenia I apologize for the misconduct and look forward to the template revamp. Cheers,--Officer781 (talk) 06:41, 5 January 2012 (UTC) It is not really what I'd call "misconduct". :) It is just that in my experience friction leads to everyone being unhappy. I too apologize if I have been unnecessarily harsh. You have a vast amount of knowledge on ranks while I have the experience with templates. We can make this work and create something amazing. :) To be honest, I am unsure how we can compare ranks of countries in the absence of a STANAG or some other resource to guide us. We can however explain what each rank range means in terms of how they rank among that countries other ranks. Eventually the STANAG would catch up. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 20:21, 5 January 2012 (UTC) Ranks and Insignia of NATO templates Hi, I see you are rather involved with the template series. I am the original creator of these template and article series from about half a decade ago. I am pleased to see that there are people aside from me that give great care to these templates and articles. The original intention of the templates were to compare NATO ranks only but the use of the templates have increased. Italian Army ranks for example features the template outside of the templates original intention. Also the STANAG itself has been updated at least once since. Since the use of the template has increased I am thinking of renaming all "Ranks and Insignia of NATO" templates to "Ranks and Insignia" dropping the "of NATO" to expand its use to non-NATO countries and beyond. I also intend to generalize the template so that it is more robust and less complicated to use. I am thinking of a vertical style rather than horizontal.so that it is top towards bottom rather than sideways. Would you have objections to any of this? -- A Certain White Cat chi? 01:13, 5 January 2012 (UTC) I should agree with keeping the templates but do not agree with making single countries warrant officer page (ok, I do not agree with the English name "warrant officer" e.g. --> Warrant officer (Italy) simply because they are called Marshals (marescialli) and often confused and mistranslated as "warrant officers" probably due the comparisons among the ranks of the Italian and the British Armed Forces. By the way, as you probably know, Marshals in France and Germany are the highest ranks for generals, the NATO system is correct but the U.S. warrant officer are member of a special category who came from the NCOs. In Italy until 10 years ago, before the reformation was also possible to join the "officer" status for NCOs (ok, is still possible in a different way) but American warrant officer are the solely WO wich have a special status among the NATO countries cause they are not exactly officer (cause they don't receive a commission), and not longer NCOs. So we have always to remember that systems among countries are different and sometimes, someone is misunderstanding the fact that "comparison" is a thing, "translation" is another thing, just to be clear, let me remember the English translation of some naval ranks during the "age of sail" e.g. "ship-of-the-line captain" for the French "capitaine de vaisseau", or "ensign" for the Hungarian "zászló" (that as you know, for English speaking people is an officer, to the Hungarians they are member of zászlós category). --Nicola Romani (talk) 15:18, 6 January 2012 (UTC) If you have a different name, that is by all means fine by me. I do not really mind it being labeled either way. :) Warrant officers are a special rank that ranks above NCOs and below officers (and have some officer privileges) which is why they are special. Indeed system of countries differ significantly but I think a page could compare these ranks to show how they are different from each other. Each countries rank could indeed have a separate article explaining the history of the rank and what it does (like how US has a seperate article). I just put the templates in the main article page as a place holder to start the sections as writing those takes time. US Warrant Officers do not really have a special status in NATO as far as I can tell. The rank does not seem to have a NATO equivalence however. I could not find any info on WOs in the STANAG after glancing over it. Is this information written on a specific page? :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 20:08, 6 January 2012 (UTC) You are right, US Warrant officer do not have a NATO equivalence, the official NATO-STANAG 2116 I've posted above is complete, no more pages, thats all NATO write about. I think we should work on a sandbox ;-) what do you think? --Nicola Romani (talk) 20:34, 6 January 2012 (UTC) Sure. I will have more time on wiki-editing in February though. :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 09:32, 8 January 2012 (UTC) RfC: What to do with respect to the copyright of countries with which the US does not have copyright relations? This RfC discussing the above issue may be of interest to you. Dpmuk (talk) 16:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC) Willeborg von Wertheim is a self redirect Are you sure you wanted to link to this? -- A Certain White Cat chi? 17:30, 13 January 2012 (UTC) What I really wanted was to make the link to Willeborg von Wertheim in the article Gottfried von Hohenlohe into a red link as there is no Wikipedia article on Willeborg von Wertheim. As it was before it redirected to Wertheim and that is a disambiguation page. What I really wanted to do is get rid of the redirect at Willeborg von Wertheim. I thought what I tried might work. If you know how to get rid of a redirect or have another suggestion, I'd love to know. Thank you. SchreiberBike (talk) 19:11, 13 January 2012 (UTC) The redirect can be deleted or a stub article can be created. I do not know anything about the topic though. Redirecting the page to itself is just confusing to the reader though. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 12:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC) Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion I have AFDed WP:Dick at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion. This is a courtesy as you are the earliest known contributer that I can ascertain. Tom Pippens (talk) 19:21, 14 January 2012 (UTC) Thank you for notifying me. I posted a comment on the discussion page. As I mentioned on my post... While I do not oppose or support the deletion of the redirect in question, I do feel the chosen median is the wrong one. MFD would be more suitable. Also with the availability of m:Dick I ponder if the deletion of the redirect would have any impact beyond creating scores of redlinks in archives. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 20:56, 14 January 2012 (UTC) Disambiguation link notification Hi. When you recently edited Marmara blackout of 2012, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Kocaeli (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 11:03, 15 January 2012 (UTC) Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan I am trying very hard to get this incident on the main page as ITN element. It is very hard to do this when people keep removing the section I am linking to. :( Sorry I am quite frustrated by the constant removals at these articles as same content was quickly removed from Taliban article as well. It is very bad practice to have list of attacks. I honestly do not care how many people get killed in attacks. I care more about the details. Each attack should be a detailed section or an entirely separate article. Do we need 6 sources? Yes because each has different detail. I was hoping people who are more knowledgeable on the topic would expand using them. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 22:34, 22 January 2012 (UTC) if we need 6 article then cite the relevant detail from eaach article to the relevant portion. tagging them all at the end maked it look redundant. Further, we cant list each and every attacks details and it would be WP:UNDUE on just one. However, if you want to expand each section (and a secin cant be just 1 para/sentence) then that would be neutral.(Lihaas (talk) 22:48, 22 January 2012 (UTC)). Please do not talk to me in Wikipolicy-talk. As long as there is adequate amount of secondary sources, any topic can be escalated into a full article. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 22:54, 22 January 2012 (UTC) Dont think that article would pass a deletion discussion butyou can try it. Nevertheless, the sources should not be lumped onto the end and we still cant havejust 1 section while others are listed.(Lihaas (talk) 22:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC)). Have you ever heard of commenting? You can comment out citation you find "excessive". We CAN have just a single section, what prompted you to think otherwise? That incident has over 500 sources reporting it and 50 more reporting it again after the release of video. Mind you this is just English sources. Had I had the time I would expand that section all the way into a full article. I do not see anyone nominating such an article where 15 people got executed up for deletion like that. Also please consider archiving your talk page. It has over 200 sections. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 23:07, 22 January 2012 (UTC) You can try that but its not likely to pass a deletion discussion and it is UNDUE to mention just 1 incident when there are others that killed more and are more notable. I reiterate, cite the relevant info from each article to each bit and dont just throw them all on the end;. Also kindly dont refactor my talk page. Policy exists for a reason. regardless of who likes it or not.(Lihaas (talk) 23:13, 22 January 2012 (UTC)). What policy governs your talk page? -- A Certain White Cat chi? 05:59, 23 January 2012 (UTC) Username changed at ro.wiki See ro:Wikipedia:Schimbarea_numelui_de_utilizator#White Cat → とある白い猫.

Your bot status will be removed on 1 Feb, 2012 (UTC). --Devunt (talk) 09:58, 29 January 2012 (UTC) Taking it down a notch Hi, I too was harassed by a user (for years) so I can sympathies with your frustration with the site - probably better than most. I understand my opposition to your proposal upsets you. I am not commenting at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights in opposition to your proposal to upset you. My remarks are entirely based on issues commons and I dealt with back in 2006. I was among the people who was most displeased with the removal of so many decent images, particularly images from the Soviet space program. Unfortunately it is a matter of how copyright law works in practice which is very different from any other law. That said I hope to work with you because you clearly are a motivated wikipedian and I hope our disagreement doesn't reduce your motivation. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 14:29, 30 January 2012 (UTC) No offense is taken! I have no issue with your voicing your opinion. That's what makes WP good and America so great (not sure exactly where you are from, but WP works within the states, so we at least take advantage of its freedom). Just because we disagree doesn't mean we can't get along. Buffs (talk) 15:24, 30 January 2012 (UTC) That is good to hear. Constant harassment can lead to a lot of stress so I was not sure if I was adding to it - something I want to avoid. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 19:06, 30 January 2012 (UTC) Nope. No issues. You are expressing your ideas in a public forum and you aren't being disrespectful, so I see no issues here. I may disagree with you or think your ideas are wrong/off-base, but that doesn't mean you can't express them. As a matter of fact, I took an oath to protect those freedoms. Buffs (talk) 20:42, 30 January 2012 (UTC) February The giraffe of copyright discussion Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience at Wikipedia talk:Copyrights, and for keeping (mostly) a cool head throughout. I too learned a lot about various international copyright laws and treaties through the hard knocks of Wikipedia subtleties. We all want to have as many free images as possible, but we all want to avoid having to remove works (or, worse, discard derivatives of works) that later turn out to be protected. Nothing hurts free-culture projects like ours as much as the recopyrighting of previously public-domain works. (I grieve for Golan v. Holder.) This is a legitimately difficult conundrum, and I hope we as a community get it right. All the best, – Quadell (talk) 16:50, 2 February 2012 (UTC) Nomination for deletion of Template:Ranks and insignia of NATO/Army/Generic Template:Ranks and insignia of NATO/Army/Generic has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 07:31, 8 February 2012 (UTC) Have you ever designed or worked on a template or series of templates that use nested parser functions? They do not have to show up under what links here to be used. The template was deleted for the sake of getting it deleted despite my objection. I cannot always quit everything else I am doing just to comment on something as trivial as a tfd so I am quite puzzled at the speed of the deletion. What was the hurry? First step for the re-evaluation of ALL ranks and insignia templates is the discussion phase. I need input from people on how is the best way to represent the ranks. Second phase is the programming/design phase of template. This can go back and forth of course. You can see part of that discussion phase on my talk page and I am waiting for these people to comment. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 16:40, 17 February 2012 (UTC) No, I'm sorry, I did not understand what you are doing with "nested parser functions". I vaguely recall what that is from college computer courses decades ago. I also don't understand how it has not been working since 2005. I would have changed my !vote if I could see some simple explanation. I looked over the link you gave and didn't see an explanation, just people agreeing some other templates were OK. I do agree that the TfD was closed too soon, but I can guess the closing admin didn't see answers as well. Can you add a standard blurb or a link to each of these templates showing they are all part of a bigger project? Can you include a link to where people are disscussing it? In any case, when you have it working, you can recreate the template. Have the closing admin userfy it for you. I am sorry if this has upset you. Richard-of-Earth (talk) 20:08, 17 February 2012 (UTC) I am not upset, just trying to understand whats going on :). I typically stay away from xfd discussions so I am unsure how they function as of late. mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions is a series of commands between nested {{ }} that are difficult to read and write. It complicates coding if it is userified as then you have even more redundant repetitious text. It would also cost me a lot of time to de-userify the template as the code would be shared with some templates currently in use in template space and others would be in my userspace. Why is it necessary to userify it? I would be happy if you could create blurb explaining that the templates are a part of the series and apply it to the templates. I do not know what to write in it to be honest. To be fair I have not spent too much time on the rank templates until as of late as there really wasn't much of a need. It only covered the NATO countries of the time which was less than what it is today as even NATO expanded. Also the template structure is used to compare non NATO nations on several occasions. The idea to develop a generic template to better structure rank templates came about recently. While I have not edited all of the individual templates I have been discussing this with people recently. The discussion revolves around how to express the templates. Questions such as "Should the ranks be listed vertically or horizontally" need to be answered first before I attempt to code the template. Unfortunately that discussion is developing slowly as I had been busy with real-world affairs since December. I hope this explains the points you raised. :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 09:53, 18 February 2012 (UTC) I see, however, to all apperances the template was broken and unused since 2005. Fastily (talk · contribs) deleted it and will gladly usefy it for you. (Create a copy in you user pages.) Here ia a link to the TfD. When you are ready to finish coding it, I'm sure you can just recreate the template with no controversy. Good luck with it. :) Richard-of-Earth (talk) 16:17, 18 February 2012 (UTC) The thing is coding is that much difficult when it is outside of the template namespace. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 17:13, 18 February 2012 (UTC) AfD for Chronology_of_diplomatic_recognitions_and_relations_of_South_Sudan You participated in a related discussion before. The current one is here. Japinderum (talk) 11:51, 9 February 2012 (UTC) NATO map Back in December you suggested that we replace the cumbersome map/table setup on the NATO article with a hide/show structure. Today, I put up a new table with maps that try to accomplish this. If you have any comments, I've continued the discussion on the talk page. Thanks for the idea!-- Patrick, oѺ∞ 07:02, 16 February 2012 (UTC) I replied to your post. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 19:55, 16 February 2012 (UTC) Username change at tl.wiki Your username at tl.wiki is now User:とある白い猫 per your request. --Bluemask (talk) 00:36, 20 February 2012 (UTC) Your user name change request & bot flag request for タチコマ robot @ fiwiki Hi, Your user name change request at fiwiki: White Cat → とある白い猫  Done.

Afghanistan does have a copyright law it turns out. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 01:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC) Apparently you missed the line right above the "Copy Right" note: "Following conditions will apply when Afghanistan becomes a signatory of international copyright agreements" Buffs (talk) 02:24, 5 March 2012 (UTC) I added that line actually. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 02:51, 5 March 2012 (UTC) Wikipedia:International membership templates What happened about these? Are we still stuck at hitting the transclusion limit? If yes, could I give fixing it a shot? If this too is yes, could you explain what is done by which subtemplate  ? PS:If you remember, some time ago I'd tried to make a script for creating the country-wise templates. I've succeeded :D Its at User:Siddhartha Ghai/MTC.js. Right now, its only for creation, not editing already existing templates; it doesn't support demembership or different kinds of membership or "countrylink". But it works (and it shouldn't be hard to add support for the rest of this stuff). Oh, and since its "Experimental" as of now, it only edits my sandbox. That can easily be changed to edit the subtemplates instead if you think its good enough to use. Regards--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 19:45, 7 March 2012 (UTC) I haven't given up on the idea. I probably need to find a way to make the templates simpler. It is unlikely that devs will increase the transclusion count. I'd be happy to resume working on them now that I am not alone :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 20:57, 7 March 2012 (UTC) Two questions remaining: What are the intended input parameters to be supported when the templates are actually used? How do we want the templates to be used? Was it supposed to be something like {{Membership|United States|Mexico|Antarctica|Sealand}} to produce the table with these countries? And how is it supposed to remove certain organisations from the table while retaining others (meaning remove some columns and show others) Asking these since I believe the current subtemplates are too bulky and can be significantly cut down upon. However, since I don't know what you had in mind when creating these and what the params in the already-created 100+ country-wise templates are for, I can't really think of how to make these leaner.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 22:41, 7 March 2012 (UTC) Point to Note for Moving Files Hello とある白い猫, need to inform you that when you rename the media files, be sure to tag the previous non required files for deletion as they are unnecessary. For example, files like this [1] need to be tagged for deletion and general maintenance And also, those files which are on use on a Wikipedia articles and other namespace needs to the corrected accordingly. Just moving files does not make the work done fully. Thank you. TheGeneralUser (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2012 (UTC) I normally do not move images with questionable copyright status or are undergoing a deletion review. For the specific example I do not see the problem. I was going to update every entry for the images actually. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 20:40, 15 March 2012 (UTC) Template:Ranks and insignia of NATO/Generic Hi, although you moved your page to Template:Ranks and insignia of NATO/Generic, it does not look as if it is working. I see this: !{{{Grade}}} |- NATO Grade France Poland Great Britain United States OF-10 (e) Maréchal de France Maréchal de France Marszałek Polski Marszałek Polski Field Marshal Field Marshal General of the Army General of the Army So I suggest that you move it back to the sandbox name and fix it first, otherwise it will be deleted again. At least put a no include comment to say what it is and how it is used. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:33, 17 March 2012 (UTC) I cannot develop parser functions in my userspace. I am TYPING the code now. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 12:35, 17 March 2012 (UTC) I have completed one grade: Template:Ranks and insignia of NATO/Generic/Army/OF-10 feel free to take a look. I have also added notes to other templates per your request. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 13:13, 17 March 2012 (UTC) So I hope you like the updated template :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 16:11, 18 March 2012 (UTC) Looking better. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:19, 18 March 2012 (UTC) I hope it is getting even better. :) I cannot thank you enough for making this possible as there was little possibility if I did not have the original code. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 10:49, 21 March 2012 (UTC) One suggestion for the (Edit) link is to reduce this to [e] and make it small, as 99.99% of people who read will not actually want to edit it. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 04:18, 22 March 2012 (UTC) I have made that very modification yesterday per your request. It indeed looks far better. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 09:22, 23 March 2012 (UTC) Ranks NATO Grade United States OF-10 (e) General of the Army General of the Army OF-9 (e) General General OF-8 (e) Lieutenant General Lieutenant General OF-7 (e) Major General Major General OF-6 (e) Brigadier General Brigadier General OF-5 (e) Colonel Colonel OF-4 (e) Lieutenant Colonel Lieutenant Colonel OF-3 (e) Major Major OF-2 (e) Captain Captain OF-1 (e) First Lieutenant First Lieutenant Second Lieutenant Second Lieutenant OF-D (e) Officer Candidate Officer Candidate Student Officer (e) Officer Cadet Officer Cadet OR-9 (e) Sergeant Major of the Army Sergeant Major of the Army Command Sergeant Major Command Sergeant Major Sergeant Major Sergeant Major OR-8 (e) First Sergeant First Sergeant Master Sergeant Master Sergeant OR-7 (e) Sergeant First Class Sergeant First Class OR-6 (e) Staff Sergeant Staff Sergeant OR-5 (e) Sergeant Sergeant OR-4 (e) Corporal Corporal Specialist Specialist OR-3 (e) Private First Class Private First Class OR-2 (e) Private Private OR-1 (e) Private Private NATO Grade France Great Britain OF-5 (e) Colonel Colonel [[File:|50x70px|center|Colonel]]Colonel What is the advantage of putting countries at top versus ranks? Either way they go off the page, but with countries it seems to be even worse. Or is this just a secondary change, more important being the compartmentalisation, breaking it into changeable chunks? Theoretically it seems the same template could be used to go in either directions with some well-placed styling and parsers, anyhow, though it could get a little messy on the code end. Did you have any plans for this? Just don't tell me it's already implemented or I might die from the amazement or something. Completely unrelatedly, I have to ask - what's with the 12s in your signature? — Isarra (talk) 08:12, 21 March 2012 (UTC) The first challenge of phasing out currently used system is standardizing the data. Top-down presentation of ranks is more natural to express hierarchical structure. The linked template is the master page for army ranks where one can see all of them in bulk allowing easier review to find problems. Also for use in articles sideways representation can be too expensive. I have attempted to demonstrate the modular possibility of the proposed template system. Mind you a lot of work is pending the completetiion of the master table and move/svgification of existing insignia which would simplify code allowing even more options. The /12 is the year. :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 09:11, 21 March 2012 (UTC) Or you could talk about a single rank group like here. It is modular. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 10:38, 21 March 2012 (UTC) Aiight, yeah, that's sensible. The modularity apparently indeed does allow for considerable flexibility, so very nice on that account. What about pages where the lot are used, however? Is there any way to make that work, or is just using everything on one page kind of silly anyway? Seems silly, anyway. And what do you mean by sideways being expensive? — Isarra (talk) 19:34, 21 March 2012 (UTC) Sideways ends up taking too much space (width) even if you only display a single country. I intend to implement a h-bar to deal with the overflowing issue at some point. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 19:36, 21 March 2012 (UTC) Ah, good plan. You do this a lot, then? — Isarra (talk) 23:27, 21 March 2012 (UTC) I work with templates a lot, yes. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 23:57, 21 March 2012 (UTC) BAGBot: Your bot request タチコマ robot (12) Someone has marked Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/タチコマ robot (12) as needing your input.

Any reason why you want to nominate me all of a sudden? -- A Certain White Cat chi? 10:55, 5 May 2012 (UTC) I saw you come up in Recent Changes and reviewed your edits, and thought that you were ready. :) --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 10:59, 5 May 2012 (UTC) As you wish. I am not confident that it would pass though. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 12:56, 5 May 2012 (UTC) Tom, if you are going ahead with this (I am neutral on whether it's a good idea or not), I strongly suggest that you also review the proposed candidate's past enwiki RfAs, and prepare a rationale as to how exactly - in detail - the proposed candidate's recent edits prove that they have addressed whatever the concerns were in the previous RfAs. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 13:02, 5 May 2012 (UTC) I share the concern. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 14:41, 5 May 2012 (UTC) I could not find the RfA links. Are there any? --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 17:16, 5 May 2012 (UTC) I'm not really sure I'm neutral, I think it's not a great idea (no offense whatsoever to A Certain White Cat). Tom, one of the first interactions we had was you leaving me a message on my talk page asking if I wanted you to nominate me for admin. It struck me as very odd because I really didn't know you and was pretty confident you really didn't know about me (as an editor). Since that time I've seen you ask a couple dozen different people if they wanted you to nominate them. I believe that each has said no. One of the big reasons, and I could be off base - perhaps it's just me, is that when and if I'm ever nominated, I want it to be because someone with experience in Wikipedia has seen things that I've done, noticed my interactions with others, seen my participation in AfD, NPP, CSD, AN, etc. and come to the conclusion that I'd be a good admin. I believe that would make the nomination much more meaningful for me, and for those that are going to evaluate me. To be blunt, I want to be nominated eventually by someone whose opinion I respect, and who has the respect of the community. I don't know A Certain White Cat from adam, and I'm sure they are terrific as an editor, but please take the advice given above and know the person you are nominating. I would hate to see an RfA go badly by a poorly conceived nomination just because an RfA nomination is on your 'to do' list. As always, just my 2 cents. Wikipelli Talk 18:55, 5 May 2012 (UTC) Withdrawn my idea of the RFA per finding the past RfA's and old user accounts. --Tomtomn00 (talk • contributions) 19:01, 5 May 2012 (UTC) Your account at :slwiki I have renamed you to sl:Uporabnik:とある白い猫 on :slwiki, you should reconnect that account to SUL now. I had to move the existing user とある白い猫 out of the way (now sl:Uporabnik:とある白い猫 (doubled) because you visited the wiki while logged in elsewhere and it created a new account automatically. — Yerpo Eh? 17:41, 19 May 2012 (UTC) Counter-Vandalism Unit in the Signpost The WikiProject Report would like to focus on the Counter-Vandalism Unit for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 04:46, 27 May 2012 (UTC) Certainly. However I am rather busy until Friday. Would it be a problem if I were to answer the questions after that point. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 13:16, 27 May 2012 (UTC) That's fine. The interview is scheduled to be published June 11. -Mabeenot (talk) 14:52, 27 May 2012 (UTC) By the way is there any special reason why you want to interview me? The questions appear a bit generic because CVU grew out of my userspace. I am not complaining, just trying to establish what you want to know. :) -- A Certain White Cat chi? 18:12, 27 May 2012 (UTC) I've invited several contributors from CVU to participate in the interview, which is why the questions are geared toward the many facets of the project. I wanted to make sure you were part of the interview since you started the CVU. I hope you'll be able to share with us why you started the CVU, some of the challenges associated with building it, and how it has grown. -Mabeenot (talk) 22:22, 27 May 2012 (UTC) I'd be very interested. I'll try to see what I can do. I am unsure if this is what you are looking for though as the questions on the signpost page are a bit too generic for me to answer to the questions you poised here. Could you perhaps come up with questions specifically for me like the ones you asked here? This can be an interview for the following week's signpost if you like. perhaps a follow-up to this weeks signpost. What do you think? -- A Certain White Cat chi? 00:19, 28 May 2012 (UTC) Your motivation for starting the project can be your answer to the first question, since you didn't really have to join the project like everyone else. I've added an open-ended question at the end where you can share other thoughts. Unfortunately, we have other projects scheduled for the following weeks, so we can't dedicate more than one week to a given project. -Mabeenot (talk) 01:34, 28 May 2012 (UTC) Template:Membership I was not notified of this deletion. I am rather shocked that months of work was deleted over such minor comments by few IPs. Please restore these templates. I have already filed a deletion review at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2012 May 25#Template:Membership -- A Certain White Cat chi? 20:10, 25 May 2012 (UTC) Is there a particular reason why you didn't try Step 1? This almost certainly could have been resolved quickly. Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:35, 27 May 2012 (UTC) I thought I was following procedure... :/ I don't deal with deletions undeletions normally. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 23:41, 27 May 2012 (UTC) No problem, we can always drag the whole thing out for a week. Your point about the IP not following the "recommended procedure" since you were not notified carries quite a bit of weight with me, although doesn't with others since it is only a recommendation. Whenever I find that to be the case, my standard response is to relist the discussion, no matter how many other editors have voiced an opinion. I am also more than happy to have my bot do a regexp search and replace to help fix the templates if the final resolution is to userfy. Thanks! Plastikspork ―Œ(talk) 23:48, 27 May 2012 (UTC) Users aren't required to be notified, I know this. I just strongly feel the deletion discussion was inadequate. A regex would be difficult to construct since it is countless templates within templates among parser functions. If you can pull it off, be my guest but I think it is wasted energy. It also complicates my ability to improve. It is certainly not a standard practice to dump hundreds of templates on userspace just because 2-3 users wish it. I think they are being unreasonable and complicating my ability to develop this template further for no good reason. They have not expressed any reason why the pages cannot be in template namespace aside from a pollution remark. Also I think the template can be used on infoboxes without the code development since it is one transclusion per page. This wasn't something I was thinking before the deletion discussion since I was too focused on large lists with multiple transclusions rather than a single transclusion. The main obstacle is I need assistance in gathering membership dates for individual countries. This is easy for 1 country but when you deal with ~200 it becomes a chore. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 00:10, 28 May 2012 (UTC) June Non-free rationale for File:Zero Hour (ENT episode).jpg Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Zero Hour (ENT episode).jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale. If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Creating a documentation page explaining to non-techy people how to use a template is part of making a template. If you can't document your work, you're not a good template writer, in my opinion. (In fact, I just voted delete at TfD on a different template on the basis of having no idea what the template is for and that documentation could have changed my vote.) Please produce documentation for you template. 184.76.26.102 (talk) 12:31, 3 July 2012 (UTC) Hi, thank you for your interest. The problem currently is that the template series is incomplete. Gathering membership info for every country in the world is a time consuming task and even with help I was able to cover only about half of the countries. I will provide a documentation once the template is complete. It is not fully tested yet and usage can change (be simplified) in the finished product. Also the template is waiting for a MediaWiki update (MediaWikiwiki:Lua scripting/MediaWikiwiki:Extension:Scribunto) to resolve some of the shortcomings currently faced. I hope to spend more time on this template in the coming weeks. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 14:40, 3 July 2012 (UTC) Hey, I created two testcases for the new system ({{Membership/Argentina.}} and {{Membership/France.}}). You can see them in action at User:Siddhartha Ghai/Sandbox(see the history). The system supports checking for organization existence and creating the header columns appropriately, checking for country existence and showing the appropriate message (same as before). It supports normal membership and demembership, and also supports leaving the organization and rejoining it. Membership levels are currently supported only for UN (membership, temporary UNSC membership and permanent UNSC membership). Levels for other organizations can be easily added (as soon as we can figure out the hierarchy). Technically, the system is faring better than the current system as far as the Preprocessor node count, Post-expand include size, and Template argument size or expansion depth are concerned. Comparison: PPLimit Reports Country Old system New system Only UN membership levels supported UN and NATO membership levels supported France <!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 2127/1000000 Post-expand include size: 30650/2048000 bytes Template argument size: 6952/2048000 bytes Highest expansion depth: 38/40 Expensive parser function count: 0/500 --> <!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 919/1000000 Post-expand include size: 7688/2048000 bytes Template argument size: 779/2048000 bytes Highest expansion depth: 16/40 Expensive parser function count: 0/500 --> <!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 1119/1000000 Post-expand include size: 12080/2048000 bytes Template argument size: 1663/2048000 bytes Highest expansion depth: 19/40 Expensive parser function count: 0/500 --> Argentina <!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 2040/1000000 Post-expand include size: 19541/2048000 bytes Template argument size: 5216/2048000 bytes Highest expansion depth: 32/40 Expensive parser function count: 0/500 --> <!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 1630/1000000 Post-expand include size: 5662/2048000 bytes Template argument size: 1492/2048000 bytes Highest expansion depth: 29/40 Expensive parser function count: 0/500 --> <!-- NewPP limit report Preprocessor node count: 1876/1000000 Post-expand include size: 11210/2048000 bytes Template argument size: 2468/2048000 bytes Highest expansion depth: 29/40 Expensive parser function count: 0/500 --> Note:When these reports were taken, the new system templates didn't really show the flags (since the templates were created with a dot at the end, the flag templates were called with a dot at the end too. Hence, the flag wasn't rendered.); but I think that wouldn't cause any significant increase in the PPlimit report. However, as the membership levels system is added for other organizations, the limits may increase significantly. The display of the templates should be easily changeable in the new system, with maintainance of several display options together also being possible. Views?--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 11:51, 6 July 2012 (UTC) Update: Added support for the following NATO membership levels: Full member, partnership for peace, individual partnership action, mediterranean dialogue, istanbul cooperation initiative, membership action plan, contact countries.--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 13:13, 6 July 2012 (UTC) A country can have "partnership for peace", "membership action plan", and "individual partnership action" together. The latter two are just more intensified relationships. Overall looks good. We will see if it works nicely once everything is converted. There is one thing I do not understand. How does non-permanent membership of UNSC is handled? -- A Certain White Cat chi? 18:48, 6 July 2012 (UTC) Actually we can forget about "membership action plan", and "individual partnership action" for now. It is complicated enough as is. I like your system. I can apply it to all pages if you have a regex for me. I suck at regex. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 05:48, 7 July 2012 (UTC) Sorry about now. Will continue tomorrow. See User:Siddhartha Ghai/Sandbox for the current situation. You've added the #default=9999 before all other options. Per, mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Default, this has to be at the end. If its at the top, the templates will always return the default value. So, please move the default to the bottom. Also, (even though we've already decided this once), we need to decide on an appropriate parameter name for the data templates. They also contain the start and end dates, so org is not perfect. I don't mind having org if you've added it for all data templates. Just let me know whatever parameter name you choose so that I can fix the template calls in the design templates to call the data templates with that parameter name. Once this is done, the three data templates France, Brazil and Argentina should work and User:Siddhartha Ghai/Sandbox should show them properly. Regards--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 20:43, 8 July 2012 (UTC) Also, about handling alternative naming for countries (like Taiwan and Chinese Taipei, PRC and China, Brunei Darussalam and Brunei) is going to be easy, the CountryLink and CountryName parameters can be removed. All that would need to be done is that data container redirects have to be created, e.g from Template:Membership/Data/Brunei to Template:Membership/Data/Brunei Darussalam. Regards--Siddhartha Ghai (talk) 21:12, 8 July 2012 (UTC) I have moved the #default parameter to the bottom. I picked {{{org|}}} in an irc discussion with you hastily. :) I can rename it to whatever you desire. I can also rename existing parameters and am merely waiting you to let me know the final version of the names are. :) I had removed the country link and country name parameters already. Indeed redirects can solve the problem mostly. I am thinking ideally we do not want "China" to redirect so that user has to specify which "China" to avoid controversy. There could be other situations like this too. -- A Certain White Cat chi? 17:58, 9 July 2012 (UTC) Escape from Dr. Blofeld's lab Hey, have you escaped from Dr. Blofeld's lab? 96.50.22.205 (talk) 17:22, 17 July 2012 (UTC) Apperently no. 96.50.22.205 (talk) 18:18, 17 July 2012 (UTC) IP linked to your userpage Hi I though you would want to know about this edit.

I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone.
