Template or markup for scansion?
Hello, IIMH. Because of this discussion I've begun thinking about how verse scansion on Misplaced Pages might be improved. One possibility is implementing the scansion within a template or markup. (This has to do with requiring monospace, but <tt></tt> seemingly not working properly with line-initial spaces, plus an aesthetic dislike by some for the gray-box formatting.) My sense is that the line-initial-space style (as I used in the discussion) may well be the easiest and best method, but I don't want to ignore other possibilities (and maybe there are others existing that I'm not aware of). Might you (or someone you know) be willing to discuss pros, cons, abilities, limitations with me in the future? This is certainly not in a "work order" phase yet... just spitballing. Thanks much.

- Er I'm not sure I can really help you, being neither a template expert nor an English Literature expert. I was just looking for an automated solution from BOTREQ (to save having to do it myself) to change the markup of sonnets as a whole; I don't really know anything about syllable marks. If you are looking for a technically-minded Wikipedian, Anomie (talk · contribs) is one of the best I've encountered personally; or you could look in Category:Wikipedia_bot_owners, Category:User_template_coder-3 (and up to
-5), or similar. For English Lit experts, I suggest searching WikiProject member lists. Sorry! It Is Me Here 12:59, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Avicennasis
It has been pointed out in the !votes and I had a similar thought when I read it, that your nomination statement is a bit misleading. Your statement makes it appear that Avicennasis has been actively editing since 2006; however, active edits did not begin until 2010. Would you care to discuss it with Avicennasis and strike/modify your nomination accordingly? Ryan Vesey Review me! 19:03, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- Oh, sorry; that's what you get for doing research with POPUPS, I suppose! Is the etiquette normally to edit the nomination like you would an article, or to leave the old wording there, but struck through? It Is Me Here 22:37, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- I haven't seen a similar event, but I am almost certain that striking would be uncontroversial while replacing the text would cause some problems. If you did just replace it, editors who already commented on it would cause confusion. Personally I would leave a note using
<small></small>right after the sentence about when editing began, clearing the issue up. Ryan Vesey Review me! 22:48, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

- Odd--you don't know how to read someone's edit history or how to start an RfA, but you're really good at getting a request for arbitration going. Great work. Drmies (talk) 22:25, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- Drmies, it makes sense to focus on recent edit history rather than the earliest and I think your comment was unnecessary. Lets let this entire thing drop now. Ryan Vesey Review me! 22:31, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- Recent edit history is that MF is gone. So I don't think my comment was unnecessary, no. We have an administrator here with less than 10,000 edits assisting in driving away an editor who has done ten times that. Why would I drop this? We have hypocrisy all around ("obnoxious assholery", anyone?), at least two admins starting ANI and AE threads, and for what? "Disruption"? That was not disruption. It is me here, you have done us all a disservice. Drmies (talk) 22:40, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- Malleus will be back, pointing fingers solves no problems. The ANI thread has been closed, and I don't think the AE thread will come to much. Ryan Vesey Review me! 22:45, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- So you say. And in the meantime we all look like morons, esp. the three admins who are pushing that AE, but by extension me too. Drmies (talk) 22:49, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
