Russell Oberlin

Any idea what the source was for November 26 as his date of death (originally I believe posted by an anonymous user)? I find this date (as well as others) elsewhere online too, but New York Times said "on Friday," which would have been Nov. 25. The Guardian, perhaps based on the Times obit, also has 25 November. But no one else seems to. Thanks! Hosenrollen (talk) 05:28, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

Jim O'Brien (athlete)

Happy New Year Connormah! I haven't forgotten about the most recent note on my page and I'm almost caught up on everything I had to do first. In the meantime, I thought I'd throw one your way: Jim O'Brien (athlete). I think that he may be James Vincent O'Brien, born July 24, 1925 but have yet to prove it or determine if he's alive or deceased. Thought I'd pass it over in case you had better luck than me. Canadian Paul 20:55, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

@Canadian Paul: - thanks so much, and same to you. I'll hopefully take a look when I get the chance! Connormah (talk) 00:33, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi,

Regarding this edit – the most accurate logo can be extracted from NHL's or the Kings' websites. I also would like to know how to extract a logo and make it into .svg format. I looked at various guides around the internet, but they're unclear. Thanks in advance. – Sabbatino (talk) 12:01, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

@Sabbatino: - Sure, no problem - if you have any vector graphics software such as Adobe Illustrator or Inkscape (though not 100% sure about the latter), you should be able to open up a .PDF version of wherever you can find a vector version of the official logo and extract it and save it. Sometimes it can be tricky though, as sometimes raster versions are also embedded in PDFs. If you can zoom in without losing quality though that's usually the sign that it's a vector version that should hopefully be able to be used. It's pretty much as easy as opening up the PDF and isolating the logo from the rest of the contents and saving it separately then. Connormah (talk) 16:55, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
Tried Inkscape, but as I said – the tutorials that I found are not clear. However, I found some other tutorial that is clearer and will try it. Thanks for your guidance. – Sabbatino (talk) 10:23, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
@Sabbatino: - looks like you've gotten it figured out. Thanks for the help with these! Connormah (talk) 00:33, 6 January 2017 (UTC)

Number of four-star positions being reduced

Thought this might interest you. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2017 that was signed into law will be reducing the total number of four-star positions by five as per Sec. 910 of the bill. Neovu79 (talk) 01:46, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

Query

Hi! I'm currently trying to clear out the auto-populated maintenance category Category:Pages using death year and age template with unknown parameters. User:Connormah/Cornelius Gallagher (Canadian politician) is currently showing up on the list, but I didn't want to edit it without your permission.

Would you mind if I edited your userspace page in order to change the dya template? If you'd prefer to do it yourself, the unknown parameter seems to be the day of death; the template can only accept "Year of death|Year of birth|Month of death (optional)". Changing {{death year and age|1932|1854|12|31}} to {{death year and age|1932|1854}} in the infobox should remove your sandbox from the maintenance category. Please let me know if that's okay.

Reduce SVG size

I asked about it here, but that user advised me to ask you. Is there a way to reduce the size of SVG in Illustrator (let's say from 510x510 to 250x250)? I searched about it on various websites, but can't seem to find it anywhere. – Sabbatino (talk) 13:11, 26 January 2017 (UTC)

March Madness 2017

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

For the Milhist co-ordinators. Regards, AustralianRupert (talk) & MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 07:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Pete Ferry

Hey Connormah, I hope the new year is treating you well. A user recently sourced Pete Ferry's full name as John V. Ferry, and I'm thinking that it's probably John Victor Ferry, born 1914, died 1971 in Edmonton. See this and this. Thoughts? Canadian Paul 18:37, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Jack Pattillo

Hello, Connormah,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether Jack Pattillo should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Pattillo .

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.

Thanks,

-- Aunva6talk - contribs 00:27, 3 May 2017 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Tom Tank Conrad.png

 

Thanks for uploading File:Tom Tank Conrad.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 06:44, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Invitation to Admin confidence survey

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

For the Anti-harassment tools team, SPoore (WMF), Community Advocate, Community health initiative (talk) 20:56, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi Connor,

When you respond to requests from the RfPP page, can you please leave a note to say that you've done so? Otherwise, someone (in this case, me) needs to go over the requests again to check what you've done. You can either use the drop-down list in the edit window when you edit a section of the RfPP page (just copy and paste the appropriate message), or responseHelper to do this. Thanks.

WikiProject Canada 10,000 Challenge submissions

The 10,000 Challenge of WikiProject Canada will soon be reaching its first-anniversary. Please consider submitting any Canada-related articles you have created or improved since November 2016. Please try to ensure that all entries are sourced with formatted citations and no unsourced claims.

You may submit articles using this link for convenience. Thank-you, and please spread the word to those you know who might be interested in joining this effort to improve the quality of Canada-related articles. – Reidgreg (talk) 18:13, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ron Tusler, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Harrison, Wisconsin (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.

Proposed deletion of Jean Bougie

 

The article Jean Bougie has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This was an amateur player who was loaned to the Montreal Canadiens for one game. He was not a player of note in any highest amateur league at the time, either. Therefore, he does not pass the presumed notability standard of WP:NHOCKEY and does not have general notability WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
