The following is a table:

Name A B C D
AAA 17 12 3 45
ABC 54 2 67 19
GHI 22 33 67 23
XYZ 34 97 8 28

and its wikitext:

{| class="wikitable" style="text-align:center"
! Name !! A !! B !! C !! D
|-
| AAA || 17 || 12 || 3 || 45
|-
| ABC || 54 || 2 || 67 || 19
|-
| GHI || 22 || 33 || 67 || 23
|-
| XYZ || 34 || 97 || 8 || 28
|}

How can I make the names automatically sorted by the values in column C, and two or more names having equal values as in the case of ABC and GHI sorted according to values in column D (with sortable table class, the user has to click on the arrows near the table headers to sort the values, thisis not done automatically, and if two or more values in column C are equal you cannot choose another column to sort the equal values)

You can't make a table automatically sort. The initial display will always be in the order as in the wikitext. You can change the order in the wikitext so the initial order is what you want it to be, like this:
Name A B C D
AAA 17 12 3 45
XYZ 34 97 8 28
ABC 54 2 67 19
GHI 22 33 67 23
I was assuming you want to sort columns C and D in descending order. If you meant ascending order, simply reverse the rows.
There is a way for a user to sort by two columns. Click the arrow in the column you want sorted first, then hold Shift and click the arrow in the column you want sorted second.
For more information, please see Help:Sorting. --Mysdaao talk 14:51, 31 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

How do I vertically-align tables in a nested table? For example:

1 2
3 4
1 2
3 4
1 2
3 4

Note that specifying valign="bottom" or style="vertical-align:bottom" as a parameter in the outer table does not vertically align the inner tables to the bottom of the outer table.

Also how do I set the height of a table row to be equal to that of two rows of undefined height, without having to define the height of that row in pixels, and without having to use rowspan? (something like style="height:2" or style="height:200%" does not work)

You need to individually style each containing row for the valign like so:
1 2
3 4
1 2
3 4
1 2
3 4
No way to do the other thing that I'm aware of, unfortunately; only way to set rows equal is to specify specifics. Isarra 04:45, 19 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi

Please take a look at WP:CSD. The above article meets critera G11 as advertising to be speedily deleted. There probably wont be a need for discussion. I have reverted your edit, however, please know that you did the right thing, I just thought I would let you know. MrLittleIrish (talk) © 15:54, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

I nominated the article for AFD because when I was looking at it, I didn't see a speedy or prod tag anywhere. Maybe, while I was doing the nomination, an edit conflict occured and the software removed the tag while trying to merge changes. jfd34 (talk) 16:05, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply
I understand fully what you mean, if you take a look at the link I sent to you earlier, you would have noticed that it qualified for a speedy. It did seem that I had made an edit while you were reading it, and you didn't notice the tag. Not to worry, these things happen. Keep up the good work. :) MrLittleIrish (talk) © 16:09, 24 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

  Hello. I noticed that you attempted to file a deletion discussion (on the article Children’s Using Smartphones: Good or Bad) but did not complete the process. Please note that, when listing an article for deletion, a discussion page needs to be made for other users to discuss whether to keep or delete the article. This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Note that if you are editing as an unregistered user, you cannot create a discussion page. Please consider registering an account or asking another user to help you complete the process at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Thank you. Best regards, Cindy(talk to me) 09:53, 25 April 2012 (UTC)Reply

How can this table be sorted numerically according to the numbers only (ignoring the letters after that). The {{sort}} or {{hs}} templates do not work, even with them the sorting mode is still alphabetic.
You can use the {{number table sorting}} (or {{nts}} for short) template for that. Like so:

123 as
−23 gg

−95 rrt

Re: Your edit request at Template talk:ESp

edit

I've moved your request to Template talk:EP; when a talk page is redirected, it's usually best to make the request at the target talk page instead of posting under the redirect where it is unlikely to be seen. In this particular case, it's even more appropriate to do this because the actual requested edit would be made to Template:EP and would affect both templates. Anomie 03:15, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Spike nicholson

edit

Just a heads-up — a page like Spike nicholson doesn't need to go to AFD. That can just be speedy deleted as vandalism. Ten Pound Hammer(What did I screw up now?) 06:11, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Going to add to this. In cases where it's an attack page, you can use the {{db-attack}} template. But tread carefully when you do this. For the purpose, review WP:CSD before you pull the speedy trigger. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 06:41, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
When I saw the article it didn't look like an attack page, it was not entirely negative in tone. Also when I was trying to Google search it showed that there is a real person named "Spike Nicholson" so it is not a hoax either. Maybe it got deleted just because another article with a similar name, Spike Nicholson was tagged as an attack page.jfd34 (talk) 07:29, 5 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
In these cases, it's best to refer to WP:ATTACK for guidelines on what constitutes an attack page around here. The general rule is this, that I've noticed: while there is a line, if the point of the article is only to disparage somebody, then nuke it from orbit. This was pretty much the case with this article. To note, I don't think you've done anything wrong - this just sounds a little like you weren't sure what our own baselines were, so you applied your own. No biggie. =) --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:57, 6 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Foreign articles

edit

At WP:PNT/T there is a useful set of templates to give new users who input articles in foreign languages. Many of them are bilingual, like {{contrib-pl1}}, which is useful where the newbie may not understand English at all. That wasn't actually an A2, because it wasn't a copy of pl:Historia Ziemi, but A10 was good enough. One other point - where you are giving a message to a newbie who has not had any messages before, it is always worth starting with {{welcome}} or one of the other welcome templates, which give some useful links to help them learn about WP.

Help needed (5)

{{help me}} This is an excerpt from User:Jfd34/common.css, used for the styling of diffs:

table.diff {border-collapse:separate; border-spacing:4px}
td.diff-marker {font-weight:400 !important; color:#009900; width:3% !important; text-align:center}
td.diff-deletedline {width:52% !important; background-color:#FFE9E9; padding:4px; border-style:solid; border-width:2px 2px 2px 5px; border-color:#E20000; 
                     border-radius:0px}
td.diff-addedline {width:52% !important; background-color:#E9FFE9; padding:4px; border-style:solid; border-width:2px 5px 2px 2px; border-color:#00E200; 
                   border-radius:0px}
td.diff-context {width:52% !important; background-color:#F0F0FF; padding:4px; border-style:solid; border-width:2px 3px 2px 3px; border-color:#9696A4; 
                 border-radius:0px}

td.diff-addedline .diffchange {background-color:#FFC900; border-radius:0px !important}
td.diff-deletedline .diffchange {background-color:#FFFF25; border-radius:0px !important}

Then I blanked User:Jfd34/sandbox and viewed a diff of it, the result was something like this, despite the width setting (I am just giving you a rough representation of how I saw the diff):

{{User sandbox}}
<!-- EDIT BELOW THIS LINE -->

How can the problem be fixed (i.e. the column widths made equal)? jfd34 (talk) 14:57, 8 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Jfd34. I do not have an answer for you but I am closing this request for help, as it is obviously not eliciting an answer, although open for two days. This is not surprising as getting help on a request like this one is limited to a relatively small number of users who monitor the category and so a request requiring highly specialized knowledge, such as yours, is better posted to a targeted forum, or for crowd sourcing, somewhere general but looked at by a much higher number of people. For the first, you might try the village pump technical and for the latter, I'd try the help desk. I'd do the help desk first because it's for questions just like yours, even if it doesn't draw the same concentration of coding gurus as the pump.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 01:53, 11 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Template:Limited overs matches

Hey man, your changes to Template:Limited overs matches has resulted in the formatting of the template fucking up when the "result" parameter is left blank. Here is an example I've copied over from West Indian cricket team in England in 2012:

Is there any way you can fix this? – PeeJay 12:59, 10 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

To explain, the venue information should not be bold or italicised and there should not be an apostrophe above it. – PeeJay 13:00, 10 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
Fixed. Used the #if: function for result rather than a normal optional parameter, and used HTML markup for the bolding of the result.

Cricket graphs

Hi, I saw your interest in WP:CRIC/GR. I created this page and it did well, since the sudden departure of EdChem, it is currently defunct. Can you help revive the project, with a new shine, we could achieve an important goal for our cricketer articles. Please, extra999 (talk) 16:49, 29 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

I am working on the ODI graphs of AB de Villiers. Because I do them with Inkscape (not with MS Excel) it would take a long time as I have to manually caluclate the coordinates based on the data, with Windows Calculator. It would be usually about 2-3 days per graph, but it could be more for cricketers who have played a lot of innings. jfd34 (talk) 17:26, 29 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
But why is it that you have to do it with Inkscape, it a rather timetaking, tiresome job. We can use Excel. extra999 (talk) 02:54, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply
 
Because Excel does not support SVG, which is the recommended file format for non-photographic images such as graphs and diagrams. See the image on the right to see how SVG is better than JPEG or PNG and you can see the article on SVG for some more advantages.
However, we do need resolutions in cricket graphs, given that it has enough resolution ans since png supports transparency, we can do it with Excel, like EdChem did. extra999 (talk) 04:11, 30 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Can you so the test graph for AB? I have tweaked his stats section and it needs a test graph. Thanks, extra999 (talk) 05:01, 2 June 2012 (UTC)Reply

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Prof.p.n.okeke contibution to space science and Technology in Nigeria requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Pakistan vs. Bangladesh

edit

Not only is that "information" outdated and obsolete, it uses the wrong tense, and potentially sets a precedent where all possible outcomes must be included even when the match is long concluded. Axl ¤ [Talk] 12:09, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Corrected tense. jfd34 (talk) 12:11, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

Talk on World T20

edit

Hi, Sorry I deleted the out-of-date section on Talk:2012_ICC_World_Twenty20 where someone was asking about positioning the qualifiers in the groups. When I deleted it, I had an idea that if was not the right thing. Even though it is useless information now, I guess it should be archived not deleted. I do not know how to archive a section, sorry. You can delete this message after you have read it. Mr splosh (talk) 12:22, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

The talk page is not long enough to be archived right now. jfd34 (talk) 16:40, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
OK. Thanks for the reply. Mr splosh (talk) 17:22, 26 September 2012 (UTC)Reply


Super Eights - are they E & F or 1 & 2 ?
edit

You corrected someones change where they renamed E&F to 1&2. But you quoted the link http://www.espncricinfo.com/world-twenty20-2010/engine/series/412671.html?view=pointstable which was the 2010 edition. It seems like on cricinfo for 2012 they are calling it 1 & 2 http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc-world-twenty20-2012/engine/series/531597.html?view=pointstable See also http://www.iccworldtwenty20.com/standings/mens-standings where they call them 1 & 2 Mr splosh (talk) 09:39, 29 September 2012 (UTC)Reply

They are already corrected. jfd34 (talk) 13:52, 30 September 2012 (UTC)Reply
Yes, Good. On a different note, sorry I had to undo your latest minor addition to the page ('match in progress') because I had to include it in a multiple-undo to revert persistent vandalism by another user.

Re this edit

edit

Its not a huge deal, but I would argue against this. It is extremely unlikely that two bots would have the same username, just different cases. What is far more likely is that a user may add {{bots}} to a page, and not get the exact case of the bot's username correct. It makes much more sense to be case-insenstive, simply because there will never be a case where such a conflict would arise. --Chris 17:07, 30 November 2012 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free media (File:Microsoft PowerPoint Icon.png)

edit

  Thanks for uploading File:Microsoft PowerPoint Icon.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) 04:13, 31 December 2012 (UTC)Reply

IPLRecordsUpdateBot

edit

Can the bot also update other IPL lists like List of Indian Premier League centuries and List of Delhi Daredevils cricketers? And the country for West Indian players in User:IPLRecordsUpdateBot/Source/translate.php should be West Indies and not Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, etc. ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 15:54, 8 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

The flags of Trinidad and Tobago, Jamaica, etc. are the ones used in the current article, so I have used them. If they all have to be changed to West Indies, discuss on the article's talk page. jfd34 (talk) 16:35, 8 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
There is no need to discuss anything. WP:CRIC#STYLE already says,"When listing the national team of players, if they are from a country in the West Indies, West Indies (rather than e.g., Guyana) should be used." Also can this bot update other IPL lists or do we need a different one for those? ♛♚★Vaibhav Jain★♚♛ Talk Email 10:55, 9 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
One thning I forgot to mention: for the partnership records including the players' final scores or contributions is not possible due to technical limitations. Also the following will not be taken care of by the bot: Result summary, Tied matches, Series records (all subsections), Fastest centuries, List of hat-tricks and Man of the Match awards. jfd34 (talk) 13:48, 9 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Looks like the bot needs the confirmed user right to continue - I have asked an admin to grant the same. jfd34 (talk) 14:52, 9 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
