[edit] Hello

I just wanted to stop by and say I saw you hard at work adding interlanguage links to ru.wikipedia, and tell you that we appreciate your hard work. Thanks for taking the time to do it, and if I can be of any help to you with anything, please let me know. Essjay Talk • Contact 06:35, 14 April 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Template edits

While I appreciate what you are attempting to do with the galaxy and galaxy cluster templates, your recent changes to those templates does not seem to work well if references are used in the templates (as is commonly done in the galaxy articles). Could you please fix the problem for all templates? If you do not fix the problem by 26 Nov, I will revert your changes to the templates (although I would prefer to see the template work with your revisions). Thank you, Dr. Submillimeter 10:34, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I have ra_info and dec_info parameters already implemented in templates for such purpose. I'll go though all articles to fix the problem. Thanks. friendlystar 10:38, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I gave this some thought, and I am going to revert your changes to the galaxy and galaxy cluster templates for now. The previous system was working fine; including the references in the same template line as the data itself makes more sense than splitting the information in the templates. Moreover, no other quantities in the infoboxes are treated this way. However, I am willing to discuss this further at Wikipedia:WikiProject Astronomical objects. It would have been appropriate for you to discuss your template changes there first before Dr. Submillimeter 11:26, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

I read your comments on the WikiProject Astronomical objects page. Your changes now make more sense, although I still do not think that they should be implemented. Also, you should not have created Template:Galaxy demo. You should have created the template as a user page. You should ensure that the template is deleted when the template discussion is over. Finally, you should not have deleted the warning messages on your talk pages about uploaded material. The administrators will often scold people for taking such actions, and it may be grounds for having your account blocked. Dr. Submillimeter 14:55, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Dr. Submillimeter. Thank you for your replay, I didn't know that I can create operational template under user, will keep it in mind. I'll ensure that template deleted when discussion is over. I wanted to clean up this page for discussions and removed some non-critical (IMHO), but space consuming stuff, next time I'll be more careful, thanks for the advise. friendlystar 15:09, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Actually, I am not certain that templates themselves can be created in userspace, but you can create tables that look like templates. That would have been sufficient for the discussion. Thank you for being patient with this discussion, and thank you for being willing to discuss template changes with other users. Dr. Submillimeter 15:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Templates nominated for deletion

Hello. I have put some templates that you created up for deletion; please read the nomination in the "Astronomical coordinate templates" section of Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 January 7, and leave your comments. Thanks. Mike Peel 18:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikisky links.

Please remove your wikisky links. Wikisky is not a good enough external link, and even if it was, the bolding is out of place. -- Jeandré, 2007-01-09t19:39z

Which pages you mean? friendlystar 05:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Wherever you've placed the links, see Special:Contributions/Friendlystar. -- Jeandré, 2007-01-10t18:26z
I have to agree, I think that this overexposes wikisky.org and, inadvertently, promotes the site (also, by this extension, the bolding is problematic, and I'm seeing a few users who followed suit, bolding nasa links, and so on, which makes those pages look odd). The point, though, is that a reader can search any astronomical body in the map, so I'm not sure we need the ready-made links added to tens upon tens of these respective entries. Thus, I removed them. Sorry, it probably took you a while to sort & add them. Thank you. Best regards, El_C 03:33, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
