[edit] WP:MOSPOKER

H - Thank you for all your work on standardizing articles and on the manual of style for poker. I do need to raise one gripe with you. When you add the manual of style label to the top of a page, it says that those guidelines have achieved a consensus among relevant wikipedians. You included a guideline which I had objected to at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Poker without attempting to see if there was consensus to include it (the pronoun guideline). I'm presuming that this was an oversight. In the future, please try to be sure that everything you are adding in fact has consensus. Thanks. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 18:34, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Indeed it was an oversight. I was merely trying to copy what had been drafted in that talk page into a full set of guidelines, and was not attemping to impose my opinion against the general concensus. I will be more careful in the future, thank you for correcting this. --Hpesoj00 21:08, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
No problems. Thanks for your understanding. --best, kevin [kzollman][talk] 21:47, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] suit icons

Hi,

I noticed you changed the coding for the suit icons in Poker probability (Texas Hold 'em). Unfortunately, the icons you used don't render on my Mac (10.4, with Firefox 2)

Not sure what is the issue, but if the icons show up correctly on most browsers but lack color, I'd say that's a fair sight better than having color, but having them render improperly in some browsers.

Can you shed any light on this issue? -Pete 23:07, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Pete. These characters are standard Unicode (U+2662 to U+2665, see List of Unicode characters) characters (I incorrectly referred to them as ascii in my modification notes), and should be able to be rendered in any browser supporting the Unicode standard. Check that Unicode is selected in the "View"/"Character Encoding" menu of Firefox, most of the other encodings don't support these characters (they render something like ♣,). If this doesn't fix your problem then you will probably have to ask someone who knows specifically about characters sets in Firefox.
What I do know however is that the Unicode symbols are used on every other poker-related page that I have seen on Wikipedia, and that it is a problem with the browser if they cannot be rendered, not with Wikipedia itself. --Hpesoj00 13:06, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
