[edit] Johnny Cash template

Hey, on the Cash template, I just wanted to ask you whether it's possible to do two things:

1. To align the title of the template to the center so that it corresponds with what's below it;
2. To change the title's background to the color that can be seen on the current version of the template.

If you don't mind, I snagged the version of the template you created and added a few albums to the chronology, with minor changes in the title. The two problems described above are the only thing that keeps me from substituting my version for yours. Thanks in advance, Cromag 22:46, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Done; included your changes as well. I'm working out the technicalities for making sections open by default. Pomte 22:35, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

This thing looks incredible and very professional now. Thanks a lot. Cromag 23:17, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Nice job Alcuin 21:28, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] category link

Hi - I fixed your category link in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of songwriters discussion. Small thing but a handy trick to know. Cheers - Bpmullins | Talk 19:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Pomte,

Template talk:World War II#Optimize layout...?

Have left my thanks for your input to the above and a new version of the template; any feedback appreciated!  Yours, David Kernow (talk) 04:02, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I replied to your comment there. A.J.A. 20:10, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Ken Andrews and Tool (Band)

Please note: Ken Andrews did not work on Tool's music video for "Hush." We will note the change again. Regardless, Ken Andrews requested the source of the problem be corrected. Wikipedia is the only site listing this information and in turn, other online sources and publications are incorrectly noting this information.

Also, Dinosaur Fight Records owns the copyright of Ken's new biography. We provided the biography to Big Hassle, as they are handling print publicity for Ken's new album, 'Secrets of the Lost Satellite'. However, we were cited for copyright violation, when in fact we own this written material.

These comments were also submitted to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org.

[edit] Year Zero

Just wanted to say thanks for all the help with the article :). It's much appreciated. I think we may be able to get Year Zero to Good Article status or better with work. --Brandt Luke Zorn 22:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Just wait until the leak or the release, knowing how NIN fans are with rabid interpretations. Don't worry about over-referencing statements, it helps tone the speculative stench down. If you are bored, consider adding or replacing the current image with this one, which seems to be the best group shot. The images on the mini-site contain only 1-2 people each. Pomte 22:13, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I replaced the image and the other one is tagged for deletion now. Again, thanks for the help! --Brandt Luke Zorn 23:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] To me, gunslinger!

Hey, thanks for signing up at the Dark Tower WikiProject. As you probably noticed, it is still brand new and we have not placed the project notice on any articles yet. If you have any suggestions for additions or improvements to any of the project pages, please don't hesitate to make changes or discuss them on the project talk page. Long days and pleasant nights. --Mus Musculus 02:56, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure about WikiProject hierarchies, but I have come across pages that the project could be listed under: Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory/Culture/Literature, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fictional series. I'm surprised there isn't a more general WikiProject Stephen King, not that I have found, though I wouldn't be able to contribute to that anyway. Long days and pleasant nights, Pomte 03:13, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A discussion you might be interested in

I've noticed you've had issues about the Tekken template, and how a user refuses to allow an article in it. I've created a template discussion here: Template talk:CVG Navigation. Feel free to comment there. RobJ1981 06:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I started replying but then I realized that someone has probably made the same points before and unfortunately, I don't have time to go through the mass of WT:CVG and engage in such a debate right now. Regards, Pomte 09:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sir Charles Asgill, 2nd Baronet image

Well, I have, I think, uploaded a photograph of Captain Charles Asgill (2nd Baronet) which I have taken myself of an engraving which I purchased myself - surely this gives me the right to use the picture doesn't it? I mean, I PURCHASED the picture!! I have absolutely no idea how to link it to the article I wrote. Are you able to find the photograph and link it in the proper place on the article?

[edit] CitR

Thanks for the responce! I'm gonna go and delete it now 'cause I sorta feel stupid. heh

[edit] Re: Lists of country-related topics

Yes, I am aware that everything in the category related to this should probably go. I'm not a regular on AfD so I don't really know what best to do. I feel a bulk nomination of them all at once would be a mistake, for the same reasons as I enumerated in the Brazil list AfD. Furthermore I found this AfD after a bit of digging. It was kept because of the precedent of the other articles existing. With the deletion of the Brazil list, the precedent is now the other way. If someone else does a bulk nomination, I'm sure to participate in the debate; but I'm not sure I feel comfortable with doing that nomination (partly as my admin status might confuse matters). If you want to nominate it go ahead, if you want me to do so I will do in the manner I think is best (I'm thinking about that). Hope that helps.--Nilfanion (talk) 12:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Done! Thanks for the heads up. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 04:16, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD: Denialism

In your official comment, you say 'Deny', but in the edit comments, you say "Delete". Are you saying that the article deletion is denied, or was one or the other a typo? --Otheus 13:20, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I mean Delete, just a bad pun. –Pomte 17:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

No man, not a bad pun. Just that I'm taking WP way too seriously. :) Thanks for the (belated) laugh! --Otheus 18:17, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

As in, it wasn't recorded in the studio, but in his basement? Or does it count as a compilation? –Pomte 15:51, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Compilation. The previous post was me not logged in.Mr Cool 23:07, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

The idea is that if for instance you go into any Australian film article that after reading the article you would immeditately have access to the entirety of Australian cinema and can look though actors, directors, producers, periods of film history created by the lists etc at the touch of a button. It attempts to rid of inconsistencies with links and remove alienation. THe same purpose for the Australian template is for the rest of the cinema industries and articles 80% of which don't have particularly great connection. Having a quicker and easier access to all knowledge -I thought this was one of the essences of wikipedia. If not then my idea of wikipedia is sorely mistaken and should perhaps leave. I would hope they attempt to make articles flow. I can see the arguemnt in American film articles for not using the template if they already have series templates but definately not the others ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"I've been expecting you"} 13:59, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] undertow disgustipated

your edit to Undertow (Tool album):

"During the track Disgustipated one can hear what sounds like a shotgun being loaded and then fired. The cocking sound is authentic, however the actual sound of the blast is really a sledge-hammer hitting a piano."

not exactly true see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BbqWPrqLaCo

just pointing it out because its a cool vid :D. theres 2 other parts to the studio videos on youtube if you are interested. El hombre de haha 03:58, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 400 ONT Hwys

I liked the way it was coded before your revision. I can understand why you'd want to condense it...but is there a way we could offer my version as a second option? It's in line with the rest of canada's freeway templates... RingtailedFox • Talk • Stalk 21:23, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

It's in line with the others because you made them that way :) I don't really care how the template looks, as long as it's easy to see where each link is and what it leads to in, and uses up relatively little vertical space. I don't know what you mean by your version as a second option, because it has to be one way or the other. Here are a bunch of comments/suggestions as I see them:

1. Don't link 400-Series Highways at the bottom when it's already linked in the titlebar.
2. In other templates such as {{NS 100 Hwys}}, don't link both 400-Series Highways and 400 Series Highways of Ontario. It can mislead the reader into thinking that those are separate things, when one is just a template for the other article. Link to the article only, since it includes the template.
3. Either decrease the font-size or increase the NavFrame width because the bottom See also lines wrap on a standard screen.
4. Is there a good reason to italicize the See also: and its links? It does imply minor status within the template, but the formatting is not proper.
5. A reader could be misled into thinking that clicking on the 400 or 401 or QEW images will lead to the highway article.
6. Rename 400-series highways (Ontario) to 400-series highways. There is no other article named 400-series highways, so the disambiguation is unnecessary.
7. It seems to me that the name should be lowercase; at least the news sources that refer to it agree. So avoid using redirects such as 400-Series Highways. Likewise for the other piped links: Ontario Provincial Highways is not a proper name. List of Ontario expressways was left intact for some reason; this should become Ontario expressways to abide by that convention.
8. Are you sure people browsing the 400-series articles will want to click to Quebec Autoroutes or the 100-series or the Interstate Highways which are unspecified to be American and not Canadian? I see the connection, but it's not a direct connection like every other link is.

With all that said though, it's up to you because I'm no expert on highways. So feel free to revert it, just don't include back Category:Highways with full control of access and no cross traffic in Canada because it is a parent category to Category:400-series highways in Ontario, so this already implies that every 400-series highway is limited access and has full control with no cross traffic. Furthermore being full-control and no-cross-traffic automatically means that they belong in Category:Limited-access roads in Canada so there's no need to include that either. Same deal with the Quebec Autoroutes if you don't disagree. Do all 100-series highways have full control of access and no cross traffic as well? If so, they should be categorized into one Category:100-series highways in Nova Scotia and then this category can reflect that. –Pomte 00:25, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to a WikiProject!

Hi Pomte,

I, hereby represent the whole team of WP:GHR, invite you to join us at WP:GHR! I had reviewed your contributions and have found that you are extremely proficient! Even though you have not joined our project, you have already joined in discussions and beginning editing. Before I forget, I have to mention the scope of the project. Well, WP:GHR is a project where we are trying to include all important roads (the regional roads, and the arteries, and the historically-significant ones) in the Golden Horseshoe (both inner ring and outer ring), that is, the area east to Peterborough, west to Waterloo, south to Port Colborne, and north to Gravenhurst. Well, you might think we are pretty boring because we are just creating articles for roads. Well, the truth is, we are not! We are currently expanding the project, so that we will no just include roads, but buildings, landmarks, communities, and et cetera. Nhl4hamilton is doing a good example of that. Also, we set up some Outreach department, and we are starting to work on newsletter, and template. Don't forget, the project is very young, only 3 months old!

As a part of WP:GHR, WE REALLY WANT YOU TO JOIN US!

[edit] pretty hate machine

Is the album cover not the ultimate authority? It seems pretty self-evident, no ? /Blaxthos 03:00, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough. It is my understanding that the proper title is with lowercase letters, as the primary source indicates. If it is simply due to typeface, I don't oppose changing it back. You think we have any way to find a print reference to phm from the band itself (maybe another album jacket or something)? /Blaxthos 03:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

It looks like you cleaned up a couple of places where I crossed out half a page. Thanks a lot. I'm a bit confused as to how that happened, though, because I referred to those pages later and didn't notice a thing. Also, it looks like many other people wrote right through the strike-through. I noticed that I was using <s/> instead of </s>, but it seems like it must have worked for a while and then stopped working. What do you make of it? Joeldl 09:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought it was weird too - pretty sure the rest of the page wasn't struck through before. But I was using a different browser (Firefox 2), which I guess parses for such mistakes to fix them. I've just now looked at the archived version from some other browsers (Firefox 1.5, IE 5.5 and Opera 9, not the most popular ones), and all of them show the entire text crossed out. No big deal though, it seems everyone else didn't see it, or didn't care to type in it without knowing how to fix it. –Pomte 09:25, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
