Talk:Lunokhod programme

Does anyone have a problem with this being locked while it's on the /. front page? It was being edited to add goatsex links, mention slashdot trolling phenomena and generally make the project look horrible. Pakaran. 23:14, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
Not a problem - given the history and temporary prominence I'd have protected it as well. Wonder which of our user pages will be the first one hit in a frustrated followup?:) Jamesday 23:30, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I thought it was quite interesting that all the edits seemed to be the work of one person. When I saw a Wikipedia article on the front page of Slashdot, I expected to find nothing but ruins at the other end for weeks.Sbonds 04:48, 12 Feb 2004 (UTC)
I'm unprotecting and monitoring this page for a while out of curiosity. If anyone wants to take over when I go home let me know, else I'll reprotect. silsor 00:02, Feb 11, 2004 (UTC)
I'll do it for awhile. Pakaran. 00:04, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- I'm going home now. silsor 00:57, Feb 11, 2004 (UTC)
My apologies for the troubles. I posted the article to slashdot, never imagining the troubles it could/would cause here. (w)
- Don't apologize - we love publicity about the project, but naturally we don't like vandalism! :) Dysprosia 04:26, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the mention! Don't worry about us dealing with vandalism - we're well prepared to handle it, with lots of eyes and technical solutions in reserve if we find it happening fast enough that humans can't keep up.:) Jamesday 04:31, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
James, what did you mean by "switch to image markup which doesn't result in a completely invisible image"? As far as I can see, the [[image:Lunokhod.jpg|right|]] markup is the proper format for displaying it like that and I could see the image just fine on the rendered page. Bryan 04:36, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
The |right| markup produces <div style="floatright"> which is defined in the stylesheet as
div.floatright { float: right; margin: 0 0 1em 1em; }
James replaced it with <div style="float:right;width:250px;margin:0 0 1em 1em">
so I don't know why it would be invisible. silsor 04:39, Feb 11, 2004 (UTC)
- Well, I guess I'll revert for the time being, then; if there's something wrong with the div style Wikipedia is producing then it's an issue that I guess will have to be corrected by the developers. Bryan 04:50, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
What I meant was that the image was completely invisible in IE4, just as if it wasn't there at all. Not a trace of it anywhere on the page. Looks OK in IE5 and 6 as well as Mozilla but invisible isn't good. The replacement I did avoids whatever in the css style is causing the problem. Jamesday 06:42, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
- As far as I'm aware, the wiki markup I'm using here is intended to be the "wave of the future" for Wikipedia; it's the hot new thing for floating images. If there's a problem with how IE4 displays it, I think that should be marked down as a bug report. Bryan 06:47, 11 Feb 2004 (UTC)
