[edit] NO ILLEGAL PHOTOGRAPHY!

Here's that link to the crazy lady freaking out: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-901817593001531987&q=illegal+photography&pl=true She seriously screams for four and half minutes before they shut off the camera. Make sure to keep the speakers/headphone loud to hear what the people in the background are saying. Share with your friends! Useless Fodder 20:06, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Happy Easter/Zombie Jesus Day. Hope you're having fun. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Useless Fodder (talk • contribs) .

[edit] 3-views

Please do not include the {{3-view}} template. It's meant as a {{subst:subst:subst:}} only. ericg ✈ 00:38, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

PLEASE STOP. You did not adequately test 300px, and that code (not 300px) is being pasted into the entries you're editing. I'm fixing this with {#if:} now, but hold on until I'm done. I'm having to follow you around and clean up. ericg ✈ 00:53, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Both 300px and {#if:} don't work properly if substituted. They affect the size, but the code remains and it's super sloppy. However, we can't have hundreds of template calls for something as simple as a 3-view image - that'll get the template nazis on our asses again for sure. You'll have to be content with manually controlling the size. I'm removing the size code from the template. ericg ✈ 01:04, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old Skool Esperanzial note

Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower ^háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox consensus

I started a consensus thread on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft for the infobox. Please chime in. I also re-nom'ed myself for RfA. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 17:35, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation of a phrase

You ask if there is a reasonable Latin translation for "People are dumb, persons are smart." Well, that is a terribly subtle turn of phrase, and no immediate equivalent springs to mind. I'm sure something equally clever could be hammered out if I thought about it, but these days I'm not sure I can put enough energy into the task to help you. I will let you know if I come up with anything, and if someone else gives you a translation let me know. --Iustinus 17:54, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox missile

The output is really messy if you use alt units unless you enforce specific column widths or a very large image. Writing main units (alt units) is a much simpler solution. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 18:18, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aircraft specification(s)

AzaToth's bot has been renaming "airtemp" to "aircraft specification" (singular) in the articles. I asked him to hold... is "aircraft specifications" (plural) ready? Can we make the singular a redirect to the plural? You might want to drop him a note on his user talk page. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 02:53, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Aircraft infobox

I've reverted your redirect from Aircraft infobox to Infobox aircraft. Please note that the Aircraft infobox template is used as part of the Crash infobox, as seen in Aeromexico Flight 498 and others. There may be multiple aircraft involved in a crash, hence the need for multiple incarnations of the aircraft infobox, rather than just filling in the blanks for one aircraft in the crash template. The emphasis here is on identifying the particular aircraft, including tail number, model, airline etc.

When you made a redirect, it screwed up all the aircraft crash articles. Luckily this was easily fixed. You may wish to check your work if you have done anything similar recently.

Of course, any changes to the crash and aircraft templates to make them better would be appreciated. I whipped them up by copy and paste and bang them into shape, and I'm quite sure that they could be worked on! --Jumbo 04:50, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Thank You!

Thanks Ingoolemo,

I am honored by your support in my recent successful request for adminship. As an administrator, I am your servant, ready to help however I can. (In your case, since you've had the tools longer than I, my best use might be menial labor!) My talk page is always open; should you need anything, or should you see me making a mistake -- probably a common occurrence -- please do let me know. I will depend on the good sense of the community to keep me from making a complete fool of myself! :) In gratitude, Xoloz 16:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox problem

I reverted Infobox Aircraft to the <table> tag because {| creates an extra linebreak in conjunction with the WP:Air header comment (just one of those inexplicable Wiki quirks). Our options are either to keep the table tag which will not tolerate expr within it or to edit all pages using the infobox so the box code starts on the same like as the WP:Air header comment (boring but very easy with AWB). - Emt147 ^Burninate! 00:53, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to the Military history WikiProject!

Hi, and welcome to the Military history WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to military history.

A few features that you might find helpful:

• Our navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
• The announcement and open task box is updated quite regularly. You can watch it if you're interested; or, you can add it directly to your user page by including {{WPMILHIST Announcements}} there.
• The project has a monthly newsletter; it will normally be delivered as a link, but several other formats are available.

There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

• Starting some new articles? Our article structure guidelines outline some things to include.
• Interested in working on a more complete article? The military history peer review and collaboration departments would welcome your help!
• Interested in a particular area of military history? We have a number of task forces that focus on specific nations or periods.
• Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every military history article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask one of the project coordinators, or any experienced member of the project, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Kirill Lokshin 00:34, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] MediaWiki:Standard.js

(please do not use your threads system on my talk page)

You do know that editing that file does nothing, right? Only monobook-derived skins have these editable JavaScript files (see Wikipedia:Catalogue of CSS classes for the list). --cesarb 03:43, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I find your comments rather surprising. Do you mean to say that those pages exist for no real purpose? Ingoolemo ^talk 04:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

That page exists only because someone else who also thought it would work created it. It is kept because, when (and if) the developers decide to add support for it, it'll work as expected. --cesarb 05:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower ^háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Id tag.. brillant.

Re: [1]. Why not put a tag around the entire text so people who don't want to see it can hide the whole thing? No need to sync threads. :) --Gmaxwell 03:22, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Actually, such an id tag already exists. MediaWiki:Newarticletext begins with <div class="plainlinks" id="newarticletext">, so if you really feel the need not to see it, you can add #newarticletext {display: none;} to your personal CSS to make it invisible.

Learning suppressing all the warning notices has been a nice trick to learn, because by now I know the policies well enough that they just take up space.

Thanks for the suggestion anyway. Ingoolemo ^talk 22:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
