Please leave a new message. |
I have two requests for people coming here:
- If you intend to revert to personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
- If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.
Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know I struck out your comment at the IP they were trying to fix this. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:27, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I don't follow. AFAICT the user removed an entire infobox; the only change was that single continuous removal. I'm not assuming bad faith here, but I also don't see any indication that this destructive edit was an attempt to fix anything. After re-reading the template I left I feel that it is a fitting notice for the situation. --Jeremyb 07:36, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

How long had you semi-protected it for? I had to delete it and of course on restoring it had to add the protection back. I set it for two weeks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 09:48, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
- I had set it indefinitely... its a repeated anon ip vandalism target, if someone needs to edit it, signing up or requesting on the talk page is no big deal. Users have never gone to WP:RFPP to request unprotection either ALKIVAR™ ☢ 20:39, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
Template:Infobox Airport/doc
In response to your comment on my talk page:
- I agree it would be nice for Google Earth to pick up the airport coordinates, but if we recommend people use "display=inline,title" then we are back to the format that a lot of people disliked, with the coordinates displayed at the top right of the page and again in the infobox. I see there was already an earlier discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Aviation/Infobox Airport#Google earth. Perhaps before recommending this in the documentation we should start a new discussion on that page or at Template talk:Infobox Airport? That discussion could include the possibility of removing the coordinates from the infobox and using
{{coord|...|display=title}}
instead. -- Zyxw 05:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
- I will follow up on that in a while. I have left some examples of airports at Template talk:Coord#Using display=inline. If there is an agreement to have the coordinates at the top of the page all that needs to be done is change the line in the box to "display=title". It will disappear for the box and appear at the top of the page, see User:CambridgeBayWeather/Airports with no infobox 01. That would be the best way and then all the changes could be done with AWB. CambridgeBayWeather 07:28, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I've been thinking about this and I agree the best solution is to display the coordinates in the title only. Since that appears directly above the infobox, displaying it again inside the infobox is redundant. It also makes for a cleaner look since the coordinates take up two lines in the infobox thanks to the new globe icon. I originally tried leaving the coordinates inside the infobox:
| coordinates = {{Coord|49|27|16|N|002|06|46|E|type:airport|display=title}}
However, that caused that coordinates to appear in the small font size of the infobox text (which is made even smaller because the title area text uses font-size:85%
):
- title when coord used inside infobox: Coordinates: 49°27′16″N 002°06′46″E / 49.45444°N 2.11278°E / 49.45444; 2.11278
- title when coord used outside infobox: Coordinates: 49°27′16″N 002°06′46″E / 49.45444°N 2.11278°E / 49.45444; 2.11278
Therefore, I believe the best solution is to move the {{Coord}} template outside the infobox. An abbreviated version of the template code from Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport follows:
{{Coord|49|27|16|N|002|06|46|E|type:airport|display=title}}
{{Infobox Airport
| name = Paris Beauvais Tillé Airport
| IATA = BVA
| ICAO = LFOB
| type = Public
| city-served = ]
| coordinates = <!--listed in title-->
... etc.
Of course, the coordinates parameter could also be left blank or omitted entirely. -- Zyxw 23:58, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
- Also, I forgot to mention that using a title-only {{Coord}} template inside the infobox causes an empty box to be displayed next to "Coordinates" (see this edit for an example). -- Zyxw 00:27, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
- I've just posted a rather long comment on this issue over at Template talk:Infobox Airport#Moving coordinates out of the infobox. -- Zyxw 08:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
Article assessment - Coronation Gulf
Hi. My method of thinking (being not too knowledgeable on the topic) when it comes to rating importance is to imagine that someone's come to my place and told me that he's going on a general Canadian quiz show, and that he'll give me half his winnings if I spend the day teaching him a much about what Misplaced Pages knows about Canada as possible. So the "top" things are the things I would cover first (Canada itself etc.) "high" would be the next things etc. "Low" would be the things that I wouldn't be likely to cover during the day. From what you've told me, it sounds like in terms of waterways or the north, the Gulf is very important but in the overall scheme of Canada, maybe not as much. Having said that, however, I'm more concerned about getting these articles assessed, and of course I cannot be an expert in everything. If you feel that something is more important than I have given it credit for, please change it and correct and my ignorance! Although having the article unassessed is the worst possible scenario, having a worthwhile article ignored because I tagged it of "low" priority is almost as bad! Cheers, CP 16:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
Lise Simms et al.
I believe the semi-protection template is a good tool to use against dynamic IPs. We can do nothing, and then just about every day revert the changes. Sometimes we can revert within minutes, other times it has been almost a day before someone reverted the edits. Blocking the IP usually doesn't help because the user only makes a limited number of posts, and then will be back with another IP in a day (sometimes under a day). Another option would be to block an IP range, but that is quite an extreme action that could affect thousands of innocent new users. The last option is to semi-protect, which protects the article. I believe these articles have been under attack for too long, and something needed to be done to protect them. Just look at the page histories, this has been going on for over half a year. It's hard to pick out the productive edits from the page history with all the IP edits and reverts. But, as you point out, there is a down side with semi-protection. The IP user could return, and move on to other articles where we may not catch them at first. So, I stand by my semi-protection as a measure to protect the articles, not as a measure to punish the IP user. If you disagree, feel free to unprotect the articles, and I won't revert you because I understand where you are coming from (and I won't be offended or anything). In the mean time, I'll research tools which can show edits from IP ranges in order to see if the IP returns to other articles.-Andrew c 17:33, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Creating a template for an HTML form using the "post" method
The page referenced in your question contains a form using the "post" method which sends the form input (i.e. the 4-letter aerodrome ID) via HTTP. Sometimes these forms will also work via the "get" method which passes the form input via the URL. An easy way to find out is to save the HTML source to your computer and edit it. First add <base href=" ">
(with the original URL inside the quotes) at the top of the page so relative links (i.e. "/cgi-bin/Fore-obs/metar.cgi") will link to the original web site. Then search for <form
and change method="post"
to method="get"
(some pages will have more than one form, in this particular case the line we want is <form method="get" action="/cgi-bin/Fore-obs/metar.cgi"
). Now open the edited page in your browser, fill in the form input and click submit. If it works, the resulting page contains the URL that will need to be used in the Misplaced Pages template. In this case, the resulting URL was: http://www.flightplanning.navcanada.ca/cgi-bin/Fore-obs/metar.cgi?NoSession=NS_Inconnu&format=raw&Langue=anglais&Region=can&Stations=CYUL&Location=
and since "&Location=" can be dropped from the URL, the code for your template would be: http://www.flightplanning.navcanada.ca/cgi-bin/Fore-obs/metar.cgi?NoSession=NS_Inconnu&format=raw&Langue=anglais&Region=can&Stations={{{1}}}

White gold change
Hello. I'm trying to add a new article about the "White Gold: War in Paradise" game. So here's what I suggest :
- Make "White Gold" redirect to "White gold"
- Move the "White Gold" content to "White Gold (movie)", I already created that page
- Add a pointer to the new article in the disambiguation page

Each of the new regional/clan administrations are redrawing their own subdivisions, but I don't know of any maps available.

The reason I deleted that sentence with the link from the Waddy Wachtel page was because it has absolutely nothing to do with the man's phenomenal musical career. Is Misplaced Pages becoming a gossip column? Would it be acceptable to include the names of everyone a musician has slept with as well? It's just silly.

I saw your reply at Misplaced Pages:Village pump (miscellaneous) and that you are using IE7. Just out of interest can you see the syllabics in the section header or do you get little boxes? The thing is I installed IE7 at work and can no longer edit syllabics with IE or Maxthon. Firefox is fine though. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:04, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- I prefer using Firefox. It does a better job of displaying fancy Unicode characters like these. That said, IE7 on Windows Vista does not seem to have a problem with it (Vista's out-of-the-box Unicode coverage is significantly more complete than XP's). I'm sure there are free fonts out there that would enable you to view these characters on IE7 on XP, perhaps with some help from Template:Unicode. —Remember the dot 08:09, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll give it try when I get back to work. I'm at home now and after I saw what IE7 did to the syllabics I didn't bother changing over, so I can see them fine. Someone turned on the automatic updates on the work computers and it caused several problems. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:14, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- Well, as far as automatic updates, you should understand that by disabling them you are making your computer(s) far less secure and several times decreasing their performance as well. For example, IE6 does not handle a certain kind of PNG transparency properly, so on Misplaced Pages we have to use a JavaScript workaround that slows IE6 down a bit. IE7 does not have this problem and should actually go a bit faster than IE6, on top of the benefit of significantly improved security features in IE7 compared to IE6. Other Windows updates that you're missing out on are the regular security updates. In short, these help keep your computer's security one step ahead of hackers/malicious users, and failing to install them would leave your computer vulnerable to attack. —Remember the dot 08:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Politics templates
Hi - I gave the current system a fair bit of thought before going ahead with it, but, honestly, what I ended up doing was dictated a lot by what I couldn't do; i.e. I actually tried to make a collapsible navbox sidebar with all the federal and provincial links, but after numerous tries, was unsuccessful. Hence, I split it in two so as to at least make the one long one into two shorter ones.
If you know how to make the navbox collapsible, do you think what I originally wanted to do would work? Or do you think two is still better? Further, I don't really understand what you mean to achieve by making an "infobox" that consists only of a map. --G2bambino 18:18, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Overlinking vandal
I have noticed that you have dealt with the overlinking vandal for a long time. I've tried page protection, but that isn't a feasible option on the long term, and runs the risk of the vandal moving to new articles unnoticed. So I am coming to you know to see what you would think of a month long range block of 216.76.248.xxx. It seems like all of the IPs come from this range, and I haven't seen any productive edits from the same range. Uninvolved new users affected by the range block can always request an account or an unblock. At a time I thought this was a little drastic, but the page histories of these articles have been destroyed by this user, and they sure are persistent and haven't gone away after months. What do you think? I'm copying this message to User:Acalamari as well.-Andrew c 22:34, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I believe I have set the range block. I have also posted a notice at AN. Here is what I did, I looked at mw:Help:Range blocks and determined what was the right CIDR suffix. Since the anon all had 216.76.248.xxx all in common, I only wanted to block the last 3 digits (0-255). SO the chart tells me I want /24 to be the suffix. So in the block form, I input 216.76.248.0/24. Does that make sense? Hope this helps, and thanks for your input.-Andrew c 23:19, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Do you like logical thinking?
The major problem with wikipedia is that people can take an argument right out from their ass and neither them or the majority of other users sees anything wrong with it.
If wikipedia should have any credibility any argument post should follow the rules of logic and argumentation. If not that user should be informed of the rules of logic and argumentation and get a warning.
Any other kind of arguments will lower the standards of wikipedia severly (as it is today).
I can totally agree that I didn't follow the proper procedures but you have to realize the major problem here. And that problem is that most of the people here don't know the proper way to argument. As in the Zeitgeist movie matter most users that voted for a Delete were using invalid arguments. Many of the users that voted for a keep also did that. Using an logical fallacy is like claming 1+1=7. You can't do that.
I also agree that I didn't express myself very well in the Zeitgeist discussion but I was so astonished by the poor level of discussion.
This have to change if wikipedia should have any credibility at all.

North Geomagnetic Pole
Hi! I read that you were the last person to edit the article "North Magnetic Pole". The paragraph about the North Geomagnetic Pole--that really needs some help. I'm pretty bright, but I didn't get the second line in, about the difference between the two.
It says:
- As a first-order approximation, the Earth's magnetic field can be modelled as a simple dipole (like a bar magnet), tilted about 11° with respect to the Earth's rotation axis and centered at the Earth's centre.
The lay reader will have no idea what a first-order approximation is. I assume it means simply put. Is there a template for that kind of thing, something that mentions the use of jargon?
- The residuals form the nondipole field.
The residuals of what? It doesn't, to me, seem to make sense, but it may actually make sense--I wouldn't know. But to the average reader, it seems like an odd construction.
- The North and South Geomagnetic Poles are the antipodal points where the axis of this theoretical dipole intersects the Earth's surface. If the Earth's magnetic field were a perfect dipole then the field lines would be vertical at the Geomagnetic Poles, and they would therefore coincide with the Magnetic Poles. However, the approximation is in fact far from perfect, so in reality the Magnetic and Geomagnetic Poles lie some distance apart.
I think I'm getting it, a bit, at least, but it seems to need some expansion.
Re: Grenville College
Woops, the second paragraph seemed legit at first glance... my bad! The edit that led me there was the one removing the wikitable. -- lucasbfr 10:37, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

American Zeitgeist
Are you sure that deletion was correct? I understand there was an AfD two years ago, but the movie has been released, now has an IMDb page, has won awards, and has a legitimate homepage: http://www.americanzeitgeist.com/index.html. It's a different film from 'Zeitgeist the Movie', which was also AfD'd. http://www.zeitgeistmovie.com. Anchoress 04:15, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Re:COI
I was serious when I asked what on the Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest says you can't defend something that you don't want deleted. The thing is that whatever is saying that need to be fixed. I have seen multiple AfD's where the original editor has argued for keep. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:16, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thankyou for your comment. As I was saying on the template deletion page, I wanted to stay out of it because Swatjester seems to have some kind of vendetta out against me and the article rescue squadron, but with his posting in the template deletion, I also had to.

AFD repaired
Thanks for the requested restoration of AFD text someone inadvertently deleted . But did you fix it by cutting and pasting, which I know is not done in some instances (like merges) because of attribution history problems, or was there some other slicker way of doing it via admin buttons? Thanks. Edison 19:49, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Any vadalism here?
100's upon 100's of constructive edits. Then, after removing material placed on a talk page by an impersonator account, I got tagged as a sock then blocked. You're usually and I use the term lightly, level headed on here, so I thought you should take a look at those contribs. Whats the point of tagging a constructive editor as a sock puppet? Wouldn't it be easier on everyone to just let the account edit as much as he/she wants, until/unless they make vandalism edits or personal attacks? Thats what makes the most sense to me. Oh well, I have a different account up and running, and if that gets tagged, I'll have another one. I just want an account for the watchlist, if that wasn't a feature, I would just edit by IP. Oh well, cheers. Do you know if Quartet or Yankees is from Toronto? Thanks. 75.5.179.42 21:33, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- How is this edit constructive? "You don't just remove it because you have a stick up your ass. Don't let me catch you doing that again." These are constructive edits? Misplaced Pages policies, and in particular the No Personal Attacks policy are put in place for just this reason. The fact is you're a blocked user who intentionally evaded a block. You were blocked for 6 months in April for repeated personal attacks on numerous editors. A responsible Wikipedian with concern for this project would learn from being blocked and respect the decisions of the admin who enacted the block on your account (and note that numerous admins have blocked you - not one or two, making "admin abuse" a fruitless argument on your part). Yet, you continued to edit blatantly with total disregard for the community, especially the administrators of this community, and continue, even recently to attack other editors on their talk pages and through abusive edit summaries. This is not acceptable behaviour, and this is why I will continue to tag your accounts. It's a matter of principle (that and I don't appreciate being called homophobic slurs). For every constructive edit you've made to this project, there are just as many attacks on other users (Spellcast, myself) and administrators (Chaser, Ohnoitsjamie, CambridgeBayWeather). This is simply not acceptable. --Quartet 22:05, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Dr. Luke record producer
I'm not sure why the Trivia section needed to be removed. If it needs to be removed then I think it should be cleaned up more. I think what you did for the Lady Sovereign song is great but for the Kelly Clarkson it should be clarified. I will attempt clarify the Kelly songs.
If you feel I have made a mistake just get me back. I thank you for you concern and trying to make this best as it can be. Thanks again..

wikipedia contributions
Dear Cambridgeweather: I added an external link to the white tiger wikipedia to a website concerning white lions because it is a related topic, and also because their was already an internal link to the wikipedia article on white lions from the white tiger article. Also I did source things which I added to the Michael Coren wikipedia article. For example I stated that he has alternately claimed that his family "escaped" Poland shortly before the Holocaust and that they emigrated from Poland in the 1890s. That was all sourced and it was still removed. I gave the exact date on which he made the Tom Cruise remark, that Tom Cruise is not "an Oscar Wilde pussy", on his TV show, and that was still removed. He has compared Paul Martin and Pierre Trudeau to Hitler, on his TV show. That was also removed. He said that his father could not attend his wedding because he could'nt enter a catholic church without becoming ill, on Credo on Vision TV. That was also removed. The Michael Coren wikipedia article seems like a white wash. The article in which Michael Coren compared, or equated homosexuality to bestiality and necrophilia, appeared in the Sun, and was also sourced. Everything has been sourced. Michael Coren objected to the deportation of neo-Nazi Ernst Zundel on his TV show. He voiced his objection to masturbation on his TV show. Take care.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk • contribs)
Nunamiut & Nunatamiut
Hello. Referencing your comment on my Talk Page:
- I was aware of the similarity in names and that both nomadic tribes were caribou hunters, but, like you, I couldn't find any web site that linked the two. Regarding Nunatamiut, I couldn't find significant information about them in their pre-Uummarmiut days. Regarding Nunamiut, I think it could use a disambiguation page for a different reason: check out Inupiat which makes a statement that Nunamiut is a generic term for inland Inupiaq caribou hunters, something I didn't put in the Nunamiut article as I was referencing a particular people living in the Anaktuvuk Pass region.Rosiestephenson 04:57, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
- I just noticed that the Nunavut Territory's inhabitants are called "Nunavummiut" - again similar but different.Rosiestephenson 06:03, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for explaining this - the references were to a page which I believe is useful information,ie How to check accuracy & to calibrate a thermometer. yes the purpose of the site is for a business but we pride ourselves in providing useful info which has no commercial bias. if you read the articles that are linked the content is only educational. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luckylouis (talk • contribs) 04:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
