[edit] NOAA template

The national oceanic and atmospheric association is a government source that I use, I want a template similar to the NPS template, but for NOAA sourced text. Thanks! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.101.70.244 (talk • contribs).

Uh, the template could say something like "Information on this page was copied from a government source and is in the public domain" which pretty much what the NPS template is. It's just the NPS template has a picture of the NPS symbol, so it's slightly deceptive to use it, it makes it seem like it comes from the national parks system.

[edit] Proposed Move

Apololgies in advance if this already exists (of if there's a reason it doesn't) but I think a template for discussing a proposed move on the article's talk page (without going to Wikipedia: requested moves)would be extremely useful. Wikipedia requested moves is for controversial moves or moves that require assistance. I think something following the merge template ("It has been suggested that is article be moved to X. Discuss." ) would suffice in many non-controversial situations. Lee Bailey 11:51, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

See the existing {{move}} and {{moveoptions}} templates. --CBDunkerson 16:20, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry if I was unclear. Both existing templates mention that the discussion has been noted on "Wikipedia:requested moves". Wikipedia policy doesn't seem to demand that except in disputed cases. I was hoing for a variant for discussion that takes place on the article's own page. Lee Bailey 16:56, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

I made a change to the wording of Template:Moveoptions so that it can be used as the sort of 'prompt for move discussions' you are suggesting. --CBDunkerson 19:18, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I missed this until now. So, thanks! It's a minor thing, but I think the option may help to keep certain controversial move discussions civil. -- Lee Bailey 00:38, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charmed Template

It would be nice if u can make a charmed (tv show) template...i really want it...it can be in any colors...please!!

Hi. See the existing Template:Charmed and Template:Infobox Charmed Character. --CBDunkerson 17:09, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Notice for users creating articles about themselves

A template would be nice for putting on users' talk pages when an article they have created is clearly about themselves (such as their user name matching the article's name), which has been marked for deletion as a non-notable bio. It could say something like "Your article at (wherever) has been marked for deletion, as the subject does not appear to have notabily required to have an article. Based on your username, it appears this article is about you. Such information should be kept within your user page, at (page), and you are welcome to write about yourself there." -Goldom 莨夊ｩｱ 謚慕ｨｿ 00:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Author template

What ho! I think we need a generic template for authors. I propose the template have the following fields:

• A photo of the author (centered), with
• A space for a caption beneath that.
• The date and location of the author's birth, and
• The date and location of his death (if applicable.)
• His dates active (i.e., from the time he publishes his first work to the time he publishes his last.)
• His nationality.
• Any pseudonyms used.
• The genre of the main body of his work.
• His most notable works.
• Any philosophies, schools of thought, literary movements, etc. the author was a member of.
• Any awards or honours bestowed upon him.

As you can see, I've rather a specific idea about how this should look. I'd program this myself if my html didn't suck so badly. Well, I think this would be a good idea, anyways. Anyone up for it? -- The Noble Age of Steam, 17:53, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
