[edit] Sofixit template breakage

Thanks for trying to improve the {{sofixit}} template. However, by adding an extra parameter you broke the template for many current inclusions that worked fine previously (including, I might add, my own). I've fixed the template now, but please be more cautious when editing widely used templates, and consider how a template is currently being used (That is, "don't break backwards compatibility" in coder speak). Also you might want to have a look at what changes I made so you can do the same in future. —Pengo 23:20, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MK template

Just wanted to let you know that Template:Mortal Kombat character is one of the best looking and functioning templates I've seen on Wikipedia so far. EVula 15:50, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Locke Cole

This arbitration case is closed, and the result has been published at the link above.

Delivered in my capacity as clerk to the Arbitration Committee. I take no part in making these decisions. --Tony Sidaway 10:36, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commons:Image:Flag of Washington.svg

The flag of Washington at Commons has been listed for deletion. As requested on your talk page at Commons, I'm telling you here. --Geopgeop 19:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:BDR-101 01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:BDR-101 01.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a free image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 17:30, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

Please don't upload Image:BDR-101 01.jpg again. Thanks. Edward 14:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Having not been provided a valid reason for why this image shouldn't be on Wikipedia, you'll forgive me if I ignore your request. On a side note, you should know that there was no consensus to delete the image. Unless Wikipedia stopped working on consensus while I was away, it's deletion was in error. —Locke Cole • t • c 04:56, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm actually sort of back from a self-declared quit from Wikipedia. But thanks for the welcome. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 03:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Welcome back! --Ligulem 01:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 18:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back! I was on an extended Wikibreak when you left—was sorry to see that you'd left when I came back. —Doug Bell ^talk 09:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Doug. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 16:16, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blu-ray data layer ref

Well, I tried. I'm not sure what you found lacking about the reference I put in [1]. At the bottom of page 2 it has a (low quality, I admit) diagram of showing the positions of data layers in HD DVD, Blu-ray, etc. The BD data layer resides 0.1mm under the surface, whereas DVD and HD DVD layers are at the center of the 1.2mm thick disc. Am I missing the point somehow? Spiel496 07:17, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I was looking for a reference for the statement that the reason the BDA opted to avoid using a caddy was because HD DVD didn't require one. —Locke Cole • t • c 14:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template magic

[example deleted]

Of course these are simple examples for what I want to do, but the basic idea is there. There are templates that are called from about 130 pages some of which are lists of information about the other 125 pages. The data passed to the four templates is basically the same (well 3 of the templates use subsets of the data used in the 4th template). It would be nice to have one place to edit all this data. I would appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction for documentation (if you know of something that could help solve this problem. Thx in adv --Trödel 22:16, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

FYI, User talk:Ligulem was able to provide me with a potential solution --Trödel 17:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad you got it sorted out. =) Sorry for the slow response. —Locke Cole • t • c 18:46, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Article in need of cleanup - please assist if you can

[edit] re: Newscast Schedule and Personalities Removal from Station Articles

True this isn't a TV listing or a station website, but duly noted newscast schedules and personalities listings should be listed in television station articles and there are other people who visit this site, who think that showing newscast information and a list of station personalities gives people a sense of what the station is.—Locke Cole • t • c 15:53, 26 January 2007 (UTC) Was not logged in as Locke Cole; see 156.110.24.142 (talk • contribs)

No, there's a consensus against such information. Please see Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Television Stations for more. Even more importantly, WP:NOT is explicit about this. 1.7.3: Wikipedia is not a TV guide: "For example, an article on a radio station generally should not list upcoming events, current promotions, phone numbers, schedules, programme lists, etc., although mention of major events or promotions may be acceptable." Seriously, if someone wants the programming schedule they can go to the provided URL. --Fang Aili ^talk 00:00, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Not sure if someone logged in as you, but see here for what transpired. The comment came from an IP. If my above comments don't apply do you, I apologize. --Fang Aili ^talk 00:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

No, that was not written by me. It's disturbing that someone would impersonate me though. —Locke Cole • t • c 23:14, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Saturday Night Slam Masters (title screen).png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Saturday Night Slam Masters (title screen).png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Jim Nobles

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Jim Nobles, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Hi

Hadn't noticed you were back until now. It's good to see you. --CBD 22:35, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, nice to see the red link go away. —Doug Bell ^talk 01:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, good to see you (and others, of course) didn't disappear while I was away. =) —Locke Cole • t • c 04:06, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Userboxtop

You added a CSS id="userboxes" to Template:Userboxtop a long time ago [2]. Another editor has pointed out that this can break XHTML validation if there are two elements with the same id, and suggested removing the id. Do you remember why you added it? Please comment on Template talk:Userboxtop . CMummert · talk 05:55, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
