[edit] AD in years

Hi, I was just looking at the Treaty of Mersen article and noticed you added "AD" after all the years. Do you think that's really necessary? From what I've seen, I don't think other articles of this time period do the same -Lensovet 00:57, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

I thought that it would be better to include it at the time, as it less ambigous to include "AD" for years with less than four digits. But I don't have a strong preference and don't mind if you want to remove it again... -- Marcika 01:13, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Southern California

I looked over your edit to Southern California. That was a good job of cleaning up the article. Thanks for contributing. -Willmcw 08:12, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] NJ Road Stub

Here is my very uncreative, basic idea on what you could use for the NJ road stub image (you posted something about it on WP:NJ.

[edit] Chatham high school

Thanks for doing the disambig + rename for Chatham High school, i was just thinking about doing that myself. It's a shame that for some time the CHS link from chatham pointed to the Australian school though!

So often, if you see a blue link, you assume every thing is OK. In reality, you can often be pointing to a disambiguation page or to just the plain wrong page, as was the case with Chatham High School. Alansohn 21:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I assumed the Geolinks template was an unintended copy from another article, but I see it is centered on the HS. I reinserted the template. Alansohn 16:48, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of traffic circles in New Jersey

Hi, I'm currently going through the list to clean it up a bit, and I came across the Main & Spruce streets circle in Ramsey. I'm taking it out for now, because it doesn't even look like a true circle, in part because it seems that you can go straight on Main St without ever actually going around the circle. If I'm wrong let me know, but I think that in that case we will need to reword that a bit. lensovet 23:03, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

You're right. I had remembered the circle, so I added it, and then a few days later I realized it wasn't a true circle, but I forgot to remove it. Sorry/thanks. //MrD9 22:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Making SVGs

hi, just saw the new map you put up on BART, I'm just curious how exactly you did it? Did you just trace over the "official" map, or something else? Cool. lensovet 21:28, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

The hard work was done by Finlay McWalter (t·c) in his development of the Caltrain map. I took his coast outline and symbols and drew new route lines over it. I used the official BART map as a guide, but it was a bit more freehand. Inkscape's smoothing features and some vertex editing were needed. Inkscape is a great tool, it works quite well. I'm glad you like the results. Thanks. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 03:41, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] County road signs

commons:Category:Florida County Road shields has a number that I made for Florida, using the Roadgeek fonts and the MUTCD specs. --SPUI (T - C) 14:46, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

It's a bit too off, especially the way it says New Jersey. If you want me to make a specific one, I can do it - but I'm trying to stay away from SVGs until bug 5463 is fixed. --SPUI (T - C) 23:59, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Jersey Transit stations

Agreed. I think that there was an edit conflict on the Gladstone Branch, which left some of the stations unchanged due to my oversight in trying to include all of the changes. I agree 100% that the format should be [[Murray Hill (NJT station)]], not [[Murray Hill Station) as had been used. Let me know if I can help with this effort. I've already done most of the Pascack Valley Line using this standard. Alansohn 02:28, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NJT rail template

Good idea on the NJT rail template. There are huge gaps in the listing of NJT stations, and it may be worthwhile to pursue this as part of WP:NJCOTW and ask folks to pick a line or group of stations and fill in the holes. I've worked on the Pascack Valley Line, and we could pick a station or two as a model for others to be created. Theanks again for grabbing this bull by the horns. Alansohn 01:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Got your message on the NJT Rail Line template. In order to use it on those NCS Broad Street stations, I added redirect pages pointing all references to "XXXXX (NJT station)" to "XXXXX (NCS station)". I understand your concern about the confusion this seems to create. That Broad Street line is the only line that I will know to any degree at all. It is the line that I will use regularly when it opens.

The biggest problem is going to be on the stretch of the MNE from Hackettstown to Denville. I'd love it if your template could handle two colors as well as two pdir and ndir station listings.

BTW: I took the liberty of editing all references to future station articles in the Montclair-Boonton Line article to put them into "XXXX (NJT station)" format. --Temlakos 20:33, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

I like your latest upgrade. I liked it so much that I invented a new template, which I called NJT joint rail line, to handle situations in which the type-of-station for the first, previous, next, or last stations might differ. It allows, for example, a Newark City Subway station to link ahead to a New Jersey Transit station without having to redirect. I also added "metro", "mnrr", and "MNRR" as type tags pointing to Metro-North Railroad stations and categories. This will allow us to complete a set of linked pages all the way up the NJT Main/Metro-North Port Jervis lines and the Pascack Valley Line. --Temlakos 01:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I didn't take an opportunity to thank you for finally getting the NJT rail line template to work properly. By now I've used it to create stubs for all the stations along the Montclair-Boonton line. With that series, I have now added pages for all present and future stations that serve the trackage once owned by the Morris and Essex Railroad. (You might want to check out my article on the Short Hills Station. That station actually has an interesting history...) --Temlakos 20:19, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

What has SPUI done? The NJT rail line template no longer includes New Jersey Transit stations as a category--and I can't begin to read it! And why did he propose deleting the njt-sta template? --Temlakos 22:12, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Concerning the njt-sta template: Where do I go to vote against its deletion--and can we restore the category-inclusion feature to NJT line, or whatever SPUI moved it to? --Temlakos 22:44, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SVG

Sorry - I don't know. The best way might be to use two adjacent lines. --SPUI (T - C) 03:11, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template

{{NJT line}} needs fewer parameters to do the same thing. --SPUI (T - C) 20:35, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Putting categories in article templates is generally a bad thing, as it reduces flexibility. If, for instance, we were to make a Category:Morristown Line stations, there would be no way to remove those from the main cat. There is also no way to give sortkeys - for instance making New York Penn Station show up under N. It is simpler to use the existing category system. --SPUI (T - C) 06:05, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

I already added cats to every article - no need for you to do that. --SPUI (T - C) 17:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't make much difference...future stations will need it too and the whole point of the template is so that you don't spend your time doing such useless repetitive tasks. what's the grudge anyway man? come on. lensovet 18:01, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Please assume good faith, or I may start assuming bad faith on your part. I have been here for a long time and have seen the problems with these methods. --SPUI (T - C) 18:09, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moscow Metro

You signed Elk Salmon's name on the talk page. This is ridiculous!

[edit] Wayne-Route 23 (NJT station)

How, specifically, should I lay out an article on a proposed station? I intended my sections to reflect the NJT project notice, so that SPUI (and any other skeptic) could tell that this was an active project and not just--well, talk. You and I have done some good work together on these NJT station articles--so if you have a suggestion for how I can write a better article on a proposed station, I'd like to see it--specifically. --Temlakos 23:02, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Got it. You merged "See also" into "References." Our mutual associate did the same. It is a whole lot simpler. Next question: does the New Jersey Transit template belong in an NJT station article--or not? Our mutual acquaintance has been systematically removing them. Should he have done that? --Temlakos 23:06, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Our mutual acquaintance had threatened this article with deletion. This prompted me to find the NJT system-expansion project notice and to quote extensively from it, in case anyone had the slightest doubt that this project has gone beyond the talking stage. --Temlakos 23:42, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Centered text in centered images

(Ford Ranger EV). Thanks for the article cleanup. My spell check quit with a SW upgrade. By the way, I always center short title text in centered images - I think they both look and read much better that way. Do you have any special objections to this? (It looks fine in my browser - problems there?) Best wishes, Leonard G. 04:51, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I took a look at it now and you're right, it doesn't look that great. but to be honest, i think the image would be much better off if it was floated to the right and displayed as a thumbnail. Let me know what you think of that. lensovet 05:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Owing to the panoramic nature of the image most of the drama and detail would be lost if taken down to a few hundred pixels (in my opinion). Note that the image is not just the Ford - it is the line up of EVs and hybrids, and I think it is a fitting final image for the article. - Leonard G. 05:44, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

take a look at what I've done now; I actually moved it to the end of the section and applied wiki-style formatting to it. lensovet 05:53, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Nice. I would like to use this instead of thumbs where there is no significant text with the image, but cannot in general since the "px" has no sizing effect (as in Wrightspeed X1 article: "[[Image:WrightspeedOverview4881.jpg|frame|center|400px|<center></center>]]"). Do you have fix for this? (note that the Range EV pano is sized appropriatedly). Now how about the big text, and the appearance will almost identical to the original. ;-) Leonard G. 15:06, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spring Valley (Metro-North station)

Thanks for the catch (and moving the article and reverting my edit)! I was on a roll on the NJT stations and forget that Spring Valley was a MNRR station, unlinke Pearl River and Nanuet, even though I've been to the stations and read the article 100 times. That's why we have watch lists, to double check edits by other people. Alansohn 03:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] References vs. Sources

Sorry for the delay. I've usually seen (and used) references used as a section listing footnotes in the <ref> </ref> format. Sources would be a section listing external references in magazines, articles or external links, that don't apply to a specific section of the article. Alansohn 03:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] How do you suggest I post in Apple related categories?

I am an authorized Apple reseller and am one of only about 3-4 known U.S. based companies actively shipping globally to buyers in Europe, Asia, Latin America, etc. I provide an incredibly valuable service to my buyers, ship via FedEx International Priority, and sell more than $2 million in Apple products/year through my website, eBay, Amazon, price indexing sites, CPC advertising, etc. I posted a link in your entry for the iPod Mini that stated we ship globally and offer the very few remaining Apple iPods with full warranties to any buyer around the globe. Do you not think it worthwhile to offer these to buyers overseas who chance upon the Wiki for iPod Minis? They cannot/are not allowed to buy them through the Apple.com domain if they are outside the U.S. and Canada. I find it unfair to list Apple.com as a domain (they sell stuff - they are a commercial enterprise and that is what the post is about - a commercial product) or external link, but not offer an alternative to the 5.7 billion people living outside North America who cannot buy from the Apple.com website. Many countries throughout the world are not on Apple's direct sales list, and hence are charged double (or more) the retail price. I generally mark my iPods for sale @ U.S. retail plus international express shipping. That's it. I'm very proud of the business I maintain and honor and respect my buyers.

I'd like to be able to amicably find a way to reference myself (and even other competitors - I have no qualms about having someone else's link out there) as a viable option and let the reader determine if I'm a viable source through email/phone, references, etc. If I'm not even included in a Wiki, they're left trying to sift through countless scammers, etc. to find a legitimate way to buy an iPod without losing a fortune or being defrauded.

I previously worked for eBay Trust and Safety (2 years). I did fraud prevention and saw that the count on eBay for iPod listings was/is about 6-8x as many scammers without iPods (for every one that is legitimate).

Please let me know if you feel it's worth mentioning in any way that there are still viable suppliers of iPod minis with Apple warranties that ship these to buyers for a very good price.

Chet Ranger President, US to UK dealusmaximus.com

[edit] template njt-sta

spui, i'm reallly curious, why are you so bent on making this template "useful" for substing? Take a look at Wikipedia:Template_substitution#Arguments_for_substitution and let me know which one of those bullet points is applicable to the template. I'm not seeing one. lensovet 00:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

In a way "Using certain templates hides wikitext from newcomers, which prevents them from learning how to use it." applies. If we use templates for what should be a simple link, we get scope creep of a sort, in that noobs see these templates and want to make their own, and soon we have templates for every possible link type, and what we have is much more complicated than simple linking. But really it's just easier to deal with simple links than with a template like this. --SPUI (T - C) 00:27, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

eh, but then at arguments against substitution we also have

• A substituted template can add a lot of wiki-code or HTML to the article, harming accessibility for the less technically-inclined.
• Substituting templates prevents newcomers from learning to use templates, and prevents users from finding their documentation.

personally, I don't see the need for substing for three main reasons:

1. Without substing, we can have shorthand types and designations. We can also have a default value for the type, i.e. don't specify a type, and then station is automatically made into NJT
2. Not substing guarantees that the links will always look the same and will always link to the same article name format
3. Errors/typos are easier to fix, because you fix them in one place only, in contrast to (two places in) piped links

Regardless, I think that there is neither a strong case, based on "guidelines", as to whether or not we should subst. Therefore, I'd judge it on the usability merits. The way I see it, there's plenty to gain in terms of usability for the Non-substed version, and very little, if anything, for the substed one.

P.S. As for noobs, I doubt too many would use it anyway. lensovet 00:50, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

And I don't see the need to subst either - just type the link normally. But if you are going to use the template, either subst or make it possible for others to subst. --SPUI (T - C) 00:51, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

man, what is this? you don't see the need to subst, yet you edit the template to make it substable! where's the logic? If you don't see the need to subst, then leave the template alone and let me use it as I wish. at least me and temalakos will be fine with it.lensovet 01:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't see the need to subst in its current form because others can subst. --SPUI (T - C) 01:40, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Because we should not be using templates for simple links. --SPUI (T - C) 01:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Duh, there's a big difference between a template that's placed in the article and one that's only called by others. --SPUI (T - C) 02:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

—Let's do a poll on the fact that Bush is an African American and has black skin? If the majority said "yes" would you accept the results? I think you would not and would point to WP:NOR (i.e. you would say that this is original research). I am doing the same thing (i.e. calling table 2 original research).

Hope that's comprehensible! —lensovet–talk – 22:35, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chatham Borough, New Jersey

I saw you listed the ongoing dispute at Talk:Chatham Borough, New Jersey on Wikipedia:Third opinion. I also saw that on Talk:Chatham Borough, New Jersey you accused another of pushing a "pro-boro, anti-facts agenda." Please refrain from such incivility, as it violates one of Wikipedia's etiquette policies, WP:CIVIL. I recognize that this was in response to that user's personal attacks, in which he called you "pathetic and unprofessional," but this does not excuse your own comments. I have contacted the anonymous user on his/her talkpage. I asked him/her to refrain from calling your edits vandalism or making personal attacks.

As this dispute has devolved from a content dispute to violations of etiquette, I suggest you and the anonymous user pursue mediation at Wikipedia:Mediation Committee. For a broad look at resolving disputes, see Wikipedia:Resolving disputes. If you find yourself in need of a fair and balanced administrator, I suggest you contact Academic Challenger on his talk page.

If you have any questions, you may contact me on my talkpage. I apologize if I seem condescending, as you seem to have been editing Wikipedia far longer than I have. I am only citing policies I feel are relevant in this case, and I do not presume you are unfamiliar with them. Regards, KazakhPol 04:22, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

I would assume Wikipedia:Naming conventions applies here... if you can quote part of that policy to support your point, revert to your version. If he reverts back, ask an administator to warn him about WP:POINT. I really think this has escalated to the point at which a third opinion would achieve little.

If this is incorrect, please point out a specific example so i can correct it, both on the page and in my mind. ThanksRickyCourtney 02:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Its necessary when you look at the big picture... I created pages for the Metro's Transitway's and their stations (of which the orange line is a part of.) It will make more since if you check out the pages for the Harbor Transitway or El Monte Busway, and their station pages 37th Street (LACMTA station) or Los Angeles County-USC Medical Center (LACMTA station) RickyCourtney 02:37, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BART

I have left a message for you at Talk:Bay_Area_Rapid_Transit#Ticket_Gates_Photo. - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 18:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Number 13 looks good. To be honest, I think 13 is too low and 14 is too high, but 13 is much better than the image currently in the article. - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 19:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I did notice in some of your long-exposure images that you didn't use a tripod. I have the opposite problem; I have a nice tripod but no digital camera. Looking forward to seeing that image up on wikipedia. - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 23:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

The new pics look good. I think the bottom one needs to be rotated slightly to the right. Keep up the good work. - Zepheus <ツィフィアス> 08:19, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
