[edit] New userboxes

Per the terms of the German userbox solution new userboxes should not be created in template space. Please read up on the current practices. That page has instructions on how to properly create userfied userboxes. --Cyde Weys 20:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NTL/Telewest channel numbers on TV channel pages

I noticed you changed the infobox on the Five (TV) page to read: NTL Telewest linking to seperate articles NTL and Telewest. On the Five Life and Five US page it is formatted as NTL Telewest linking to one article called NTL Telewest which redirects to NTL. Meanwhile the majority of pages have seperate entries for each platform (and some still have the old NTL channel numbers before last month's reshuffle as I only managed to get as far as ~200 when I went through the list and haven't completed the task). Which do you think is better, to list NTL and Telwest channel numbers as though they are one platform, seperate platforms on the same line, or seperate platforms on seperate lines? - Lee Stanley 14:09, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I think NTL and Telewest should be on the same line, as two platforms when the channel has the same EPG number, since there isn't an NTL Telewest article (as you said NTL Telewest redirects to NTL). However if NTL and Telewest have different EPG numbers for a channel I think they sould be on seperate lines.--Dell9300 14:26, 10 October 2006 (UTC) (copied)

There shouldn't be any cases where the channel number is different on NTL and Telewest, as they have changed both NTL EPGs to match the Telewest one. I'm happy with your suggestion, and will copy this conversation to Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_British_TV_channels and see if they agree over there before we go and change every infobox. Also, you can reply on your own talkpage as I have it on my watchlist :) - Lee Stanley 14:56, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I noticed you changed another infobox this evening, so I highlighted my above comment. - Lee Stanley 17:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry!--Dell9300 17:20, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

It's OK. Just that the discussion for that infobox belongs there with the default template. So it's only fair. I think it likely they will agree, in which case I would be happy to help you with the task. - Lee Stanley 17:37, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

We can do this now. Do you want to start at 101 and work forwards, and I'll start at the top end of the EPG and work backwards? - Lee Stanley 17:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine. --Dell9300 16:35, 14 October 2006 (UTC)]

How far have you got? I have done as far as 533: NASN, but there are a lot of gaps where the articles don't exist or haven't been seperated from a worldwide article yet, so that equates to 35 edits. - Lee Stanley 18:49, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Just to add to that, I've been sent a document detailing where some channels don't match EPG number, and which ones are only on one platform, so I'll go through those and mark on the relevant talk page that that's the case. - Lee Stanley 21:18, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:MagnumPI S4.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:MagnumPI S4.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:08, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editors that don't provide an edit summary tend to look like vandals

I have noticed you commonly don't enter an edit summary as you didn't when you edited Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories (see this edit). This causes me problems. When I patrol for vandalism, I use the summary to make a preliminary decision on whether or not the post is a vandal edit or not. If the summary is present (or at least a section header, the part inside the /* */), I commonly decide the edit is legit and move on.

However, if no edit summary is available, I typically resort to loading the diff for the edit. This takes time. For that reason, if your edits are all valid, I ask that you provide edit summaries. For more on how to enter an edit summary, please read Help:Edit summary.

Incidentally, it is not just me that appreciate having edit summaries. When you omit your summary, you may be telling various bots that you are vandalizing pages. For this reason, please consider providing that summary. It is very important. You can enter that summary via the edit summary box on edit pages (as shown below).

For more tips on how to avoid being mistaken for a vandal, please visit Steps You Can Take to Avoid Being Thought of as a Vandal.

While you do enter summaries about half the time, that is half the time you skip that very important step. Will (Talk - contribs) 23:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bionic Woman episode list

Please explain on the Talk page for The Bionic Woman why you deleted the episode list. If an episode list article has been created, that's fine, but a link should have been created. I have reverted that change. Also, as noted in the above note to you, please include in any edit summaries you do a brief explanationr regarding the reasoning, otherwise unexplained changes -- such as the one I'm writing to you about -- are likely to be reverted without question. Additional -- I see you have in fact included such a link. This misunderstanding is the reasson why you shoud always include an edit summary. Cheers. 23skidoo 19:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
