Quick Question

How do you find the color codes for backgrounds, like the one here? --The New Mikemoral^talk_contribs 01:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

See List of colors and use the hex triplet codes. Have fun experimenting and let me know if you need help :) --Eustress (talk) 03:42, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Userbox for GA reviews

The userbox {{User Good Articles reviewed}} has been updated so that it can now link to a page in your user subspace where you keep track of all your GA reviews, if you have such a page. This can be done by adding a | and then the name of your user subpage (or subsection of your regular user page) wherever you have the template called. For example, on my user page I am using

{{User Good Articles reviewed|6|User:Rjanag/GA reviews}}

which displays as

This user has reviewed 6 Good Article nominations on Wikipedia.

There is more information on how to do this at Template:User Good Articles reviewed.

Note: If you are not interested in doing this, you don't have to do anything; the template will still work for you exactly as it does now.

Is there a way I can flag my talk page so that people don't jump in and revert while I'm testing? You just warned User talk:76.212.6.30 which I'm using to pretend I'm a vandal. (I'm trying to understand how Twinkle works for multiple reverts). --Marc Kupper|talk 00:53, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

After you test edit add this line DO NOT REVERT THIS IS A PRETEND VANDAL!, or something similar and click on the edit toolbar insert hidden comment (the "x," paper, and pencil) after highlighting the text.

Thanks for the follow up answer on IP notification. What happened I had a couple of windows open, each set up with a different IP address. I lost track of which was which, was trying to "warn" one of the windows and did not get the expected warning notification as I was looking at the wrong window. The Twinkle manual does not give advice on how to deal with a chain of vandal edits and so I was trying to figure that out. --Marc Kupper|talk 07:09, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

F*INK

Hi
A friendly notice regarding your SD tag on F*INK: Please note that journals aren't covered by A7, and that ownership by a person with an article here is an indication of importance.
Also, please do never tag an article that has any potential at all for A7 two minutes after creation. This is really very Wikipedia:BITEy. We do want articles about notable topics here, we do want editors writing them here.
Tagging so early is desirable with copyvios and BLP violations, and acceptable with some criteria, and even fine with your typical schoolboy article where you are convinced that it can't possibly be notable. A journal that has been around for over a decade really deserves some leeway. If there is any realistic possibility that a topic might be notable, hold your A7 tags back for a while please.
Thanks for your consideration, Amalthea 14:35, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Farid Suleman

Now working on Farid Suleman. I'll try to get it up to a C, if not B.  :) -download | sign! 04:02, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I will ask someone else to evaluate when you are finished. --MikemoralSock (talk) 04:45, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Here is a link to picture of Suleman I found. I hope you would not mind uploading it. --MikemoralSock (talk) 05:05, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, I got it. --MikemoralSock (talk) 06:01, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

God, I can't find anything about Farid Suleman's personal information. It was hard even finding his age! Any suggestions? -download | sign! 17:55, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

No. I would suggest a Google/AOL/Yahoo! search, but I'm sure you've done at least on of those. Also, would you say this {{Non-free fair use in}} is the correct non-free fair use license? --MikemoralSock (talk) 18:23, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Are you willing to go through Citadel customer service? --MikemoralSock (talk) 00:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I've done many Google and Live searchs with different parameters and can't really find anything about Suleman's childhood. I've checked out their website, but it seems like they don't have anything I could use there. I would be glad to send a customer service request but it seems like the only option is writing to them. -_- -download | sign! 01:35, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Writing them would be much appreciated. Strange how no information can be found on Suleman... --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 01:38, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I will definately try to get more information on Suleman; although he's the CEO of Citadel, he doesn't seem very prominent. -download | sign! 01:43, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

But I guess it's worth a shot. I will try to contact Citadel as well. Have you found where Suleman lives? --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 01:46, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

I'll try contacting them as well. No, I haven't found out where he lives, but I'll try to get more info. -download | sign! 01:48, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Morning coffee, HotCat

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Hi. Category "Software" is not a search keyword, but the top of the software category tree. There are only a few articles that belong in that category; all articles re an implementation such as Morning coffee are in subcategories. Thanks, 69.106.242.20 (talk) 14:17, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Jacob Aaron Westervelt

{{User:ClueBot III/ArchiveNow}} Hi :)... I finally moved the article to the public space. But I dont know if this was a good idea. It seems the article still was full of mistakes. And concerning the DYK: another user (Chamal) said, that it's a little too late to go for a DYK, because it's only for articles created or expanded in the last 5 days (I dont know if this is also in case that the article was in a Sandbox). He suggested that I go for WP:GAN. But I dont know if I shall do that myself. If someone else thinks, that this is worth it... then its ok.--Rectilinium'♥' 20:50, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

So, I'll take another look at it, and if I think it is Good Article-ready, I will consider nominating it. --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 22:45, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

:)... ok. Chamal finally said, that I may nominate it for DYK, and that I shall nominate it for GA afterwards. I'll make the DYK-nomination now... --Rectilinium'♥' 08:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

DYK Jacob Aaron Westervelt

Thank you for supporting the DYK-nomination for the Jacob Aaron Westervelt-article. What do you think about the "hook" I suggested? --Rectilinium'♥' 23:11, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Well, based on the Simple English Wikipedia's DYK, the hook is somewhat bland, however, it is still okay. --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 16:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Probably someone could propose a better one, but I think the first suggestion was even more bland than mine (that actually was suggested by a scottish administrator)...--Rectilinium'♥' 18:34, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Who is that? Also, how do you like my userpage redesign? --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 20:23, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

I like your new design, especially the grey frame.

The name of the user who helped me with the hook was Garden. I actually planned to nominate the article myself, and I wrote three hooks, but they were too long, and I was not sure which one I should choose. So I wrote an email to Garden (because he is an active DYK admin participant) and I asked him for his opinion. He shortened one of my suggestions and thats the sentence I finally published.--Rectilinium'♥' 21:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Ah, fogot Garden is Scottish. Thanks. Do you want the code for the frame? I'll leave on the mentor page. --The New Mikemoral ♪♫ 21:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for File:Reason washing machine.gif}

Thank you for uploading File:Reason washing machine.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.
