Your nomination of Apple, Inc

edit

I've declined/removed your "Good Article" nomination for Apple, Inc. The Good Article process is intended to be a review of an article that has seen work by one or more editors to make sure it meets sourcing, style and prose guidelines. I notice you have not edited the article at all, and that no other editor has recently put extensive work into it. Looking at the article itself there are major issues with the prose and sourcing that would need to be addressed before a Good Article review. --Errant (chat!) 14:51, 31 October 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited U.S. Route 221 in South Carolina, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Georgia (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.

Orphaned non-free media (File:WCW Hardcore Championship.png)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:WCW Hardcore Championship.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:09, 20 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

Non-free rationale for File:PaladinsLogo.svg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:PaladinsLogo.svg. 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.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

edit

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Bowl game stat tables

edit

What would you think about going back to the wikitables for bowl game stats rather than the template? I do think the template is nice for some things, but having to set specific column widths just so that the text doesn't wrap is getting tedious, whereas just setting the wikitables to float left and right eliminates that problem. I don't want to singlehandedly revert all of your edits adding the templates, so I want to get your opinion, and I'm pinging Dmoore5556, who has also helped with adding stats, for his. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 00:46, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I'd be okay with that. Alternatively, could we separate the two templates onto separate lines like we did last year? Cg2916 (talk) 04:56, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I could also add an option to the templates to float. Cg2916 (talk) 05:35, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

I personally like the look better if they're on the same line; do you have a preference between the two? I like the idea of being able to float the templates, as that would effectively solve the problem; is there a way you could do it as a parameter rather than just having the stats one always float left and the stat leaders one always float right (as that would probably mess up articles that already use them)? Thanks. PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 15:38, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
I can easily do that. Sorry about the hassle. Cg2916 (talk) 18:20, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
I've added a Float parameter to both tables. I've used it on the 2019 Celebration Bowl. Let me know what you think. Cg2916 (talk) 18:35, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
That looks great! No need to apologize, thanks for the help! PCN02WPS (talk | contribs) 19:37, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
Nice work, thank you both. I'll review pages for bowl games already played this year to check/update use of float. Dmoore5556 (talk) 20:10, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
It looks like a trailing "clear" directive is needed (I see one included in the noted 2019 Celebration Bowl page), else content that follows starts in the 'gutter' between the two boxes. Is that known/intentional behavior? Just checking. Thanks. Dmoore5556 (talk) 20:17, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
I placed a suggestion in the documentations to use a clear after one of the templates, but decided against placing one in one of the actual templates for more layout flexibility and future-proofing (if it were ever removed, it would mess up previously-made pages). Cg2916 (talk) 20:20, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
OK, got it, thank you. I'll include that, as I update this year's completed bowls. Dmoore5556 (talk) 20:21, 23 December 2019 (UTC)Reply
