[edit] Template:Infobox Network

Hi. I've restored your version of the code for the template header, so that it appears within the infobox--as is standard--rather than above it. This, and adding a couple optional info lines, has brought me to the limits of my coding ability. Request: Is it possible to further modify the code, so an editor has the option of employing the infobox without using a header at all? (See, for example, the use of Infobox Biography in Henry Cowell.) When I attempt this with Infobox Network (that is, either erasing the "name" line or leaving it blank, under any of the recent iterations of the header code), it leaves a little rogue vertical mark in the linespace above the logo image, insteading of eliminating the linespace altogether. (Test, for example, in Mutual Broadcasting System, the article I'm currently working on.) Thanks very much. Best, Dan—DCGeist 01:41, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Boddingtons.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Boddingtons.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] London Portal Quote

Is there any system which decides changes to the London Portal quote, or can anyone change it? --Wolf^talk 11:12, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greater Manchester dynamic map

Hi, I'm working on a fresh dynamic map. Are there any requirements for this (resolution, size, format etc) that you have so that it will be compatible?

Are their any preferences in colours and features? Do we want major roads/motorways and/or rivers included? Is there a standard? Hope you can help, Jhamez84 21:47, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

If you could give me some feedback for Image:Greater Manchester outline map v3.png as a possibility I would be very grateful.

I have the master copy which has each feature stored as a layer which have have instant colour changes or be made to disappear. Any issues, and I can easily address them for you. Thanks, Jhamez84 01:30, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Thank you for the feedback! The lines you refer to are actually motorways and not railways! That this wasn't clear straight away concerns me a little - but not sure exactly how to make the distinction clearer. If you have any ideas...? Glad you like it however. Jhamez84 08:33, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. I've just got back from a busy day so apologies for any delay. I'll spend some time this eve working on the suggestions you and the other users have made - they seem simple things to correct.

I'd be happy to produce some other maps yes! I'm not a proffessional map maker by anymeans, but have enough graphic design skill to put one together. Another user User:Ddstretch has raised a suggestion about changing the actual pointer, perhaps to something with a crosshair? Might be worth considering. I'll get back to you once I've looked at making the motorways a little clearer (I also forgot a stretch of motorway which exists in central Manchester which I need to include). Jhamez84 19:17, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Map is ready. Found at Image:Greater Manchester outline map.png. I think I've addressed all the issues now. Would love to see it in action next! Jhamez84 20:02, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

I'd be more than happy to help! With a bit of luck I will start it tomorrow for you. It would be nice if each city region's map was of a simillar style, but wouldn't want a monopoly on this!!! London's does need a little work like you say however - shouldn't take me too long. May even produce one for our third city (!)... Jhamez84 00:47, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Map redrawn and replaced on Wikicommons - any mistakes or issues, don't hesitate to contact me and I'll try to fix things! Hope the map is well received. Jhamez84 19:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I should add it is not as precise as the Greater Manchester map (where the urban areas are drawn tightly) as this not only effects the image size, but I've struggled to find quality source material with which to reference the exact urban boundaries - may be an issue, but see what you think first!

[edit] re: Old Trafford (cricket ground)

Hi, you recently closed a move-article request suggesting that you did not see consensus. While I agree that the page makes it extremely unclear that consensus has been reached, the issues concerned with the move were resolved as illustrated by the following diffs: diff 1 and diff 2. The previously conflicting parties - myself and User:TerriersFan - have been awaiting admin assistance in moving this page to its correct title of Old Trafford Cricket Ground for some time now, as illustrated by talk-page discussions (1, 2). We would appreciate it if you saved us the hastle of relisting just because of unclarities on the talk page.

Regards, DJR (T) 03:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Sure, no worries! I've performed the move. Kyle Barbour 22:41, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] St John's oxford user

Hi, I really like all the oxford college userboxes you've made. Would there be any chance of you making a St John's college one? Thanks, Will Trepur99 00:12, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your reversion of my Arctic Monkeys EP chronology changes

I'm curious why you reverted my changes ([1] and [2]) to the Arctic Monkeys EP pages. Is there some precedent for including singles in album chronologies? I can't recall ever having seen that anywhere else. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by PEJL (talk • contribs) 05:45, 15 March 2007 (UTC).

Quoting DJR's reply here: I'm not sure about precendent, but there has been a long established consensus that EPs are part of the singles chronology, not albums, at least in the case of Arctic Monkeys. DJR (T) 08:30, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I see. AFAICT EPs are part of album chronologies rather than singles chronologies for at least a vast majority of artists. (Like I said, I've never seen this before, and I've edited hundreds of album pages.) This may simply be because EPs use album infoboxes while singles don't. I'd suggest trying to get this anomaly formalized at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums as a valid option. --PEJL 13:24, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

The nature of EPs varies from artist to artist - many are indeed just short albums. However, releases such as Five Minutes with the Arctic Monkeys have much more in common with a single than an album, and hence the situation with Arctic Monkeys. I don't think there's any need for formalisation - I frankly think it is better left slightly open for interpretation. DJR (T) 18:51, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Greater Manchester infobox map

Hi, a new version of the Greater Manchester infobox map has been settled upon and uploaded. You've helped set the marker settings before, any chance you could help with Template:Location_map_Greater_Manchester? Hope you can, Jhamez84 11:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

You may also wish to pass comment at this deletion proposal page. Jhamez84 19:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

If you would like to participate, you can visit the project page, where you can join the project and see a list of open tasks and related articles. Thanks! Casper Gutman 15:35, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of unnecessary paragraphs from Tonbridge

Hi Djr xi, noticed you made an edit to the Tonbridge article just to remove some unnecessary line breaks. Just a warning that I've seen some editors get really shirty with people who edit articles just to do that, especially if it doesn't change the appearance of the article. I think it's because it adds unnecessary history to the article and puts extra load on the server, and some people on Wiki seem to just like jumping up and down in an angry manner a lot at the tiniest provocation - so be careful!
