User/user talk

change

Just by the way, I really like the way you designed your user/user talk pages. :) Good work here. Welcome from me! TheAE talk 04:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! I'm so happy that this Wikipedia isn't as stringent with template regulation and modification. I feel my ideas are more appreciated here since nobody's complaining... obentomusubi 04:42, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
I HATE it, you should tag it with {{UserQD}}, no I'm just kidding, it looks really nice, good work.-- Chris†ianMan16 t c r 04:48, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Haha, thanks. I'm currently designing a Babel template for my userpage. If you guys need ANY help with template work AT ALL, or if you find any bugs in my code, please let me know. I think I'll stick around a bit for right now. obentomusubi 04:50, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Just curious but do you really need that message at the top in more than one language?-- † CM16 t c r 22:42, 4 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
I assumed since Simple English is for ESL people and little children, if there are Spanish speakers that browse it who speak Spanish or French, they'd be able to read it in their first language. obentomusubi 01:21, 5 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Icons

change

Just to let you know, most icons have a width of 15 pixels and a height of 15 pixels. Cheers, Razorflame 16:31, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thanks. In fact, would you mind if it was bumped up to 16 pixels? It doesn't matter either way, though. :) obentomusubi 16:32, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Read my reply on Wikipedia:Simple talk first. Razorflame 16:32, 3 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Question

change

Hi there. Could you please not mess with the Infobox Planet template? It is currently used by over 1,000 articles, and if the changes you make could possibly screw it up (not saying that they will), then it would screw it up on over 1,000 articles. Hope this makes sense to you. Cheers, Razorflame 02:46, 5 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Of course it does. I'm in the process of designing an alternate template design and I will propose it on its talk page. obentomusubi 03:11, 5 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Ok. I will look forward to seeing it on the talk page, then. Cheers, Razorflame 03:37, 5 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Template:Infobox Hurricane

change

Hi. Regarding this, that change makes the template a bit too wide. Would you mind making it smaller? Thanks, –Juliancolton (talk) 02:08, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Temp bot flag

change

Hello, I have given you the bot flag temporarily to prevent flooding up RC. Give me or other 'crats a poke when you are done. Cheers, Chenzw  Talk  10:01, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hello, what exactly does this mean? I'll tag one more page, then I'll sign off for the night. :) obentomusubi 10:02, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
When you have the bot flag, your edits won't show up in recent changes. Since you are going off, then I will remove it so others can see you the next day. ;) Chenzw  Talk  10:04, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

DYK icon

change

Is it really necessary to put a DYK icon on pages which were used on DYK? We already put notice of it on their talk page. Reaching DYK shouldn't be displayed like that like we would for GA or VGAs in my opinion. Either way (talk) 12:45, 8 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

your sig

change

maybae you should edit you sig to look like this, I think it looks better....you choice though (I don't know if you'll see the special font):

I, too, think it looks cooler. Thanks for the suggestion! obentomusubi 04:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Your edits to Romania

change

Hi there. Please not that I am not trying to bite you at all; its just that I noticed some edits that you made which have undone some of the work that I have done to this article to make it become a VGA:

  1. This edit made use of the convert template. If you would read the talk page, you will note that the figures that it shows are too precise for our Wikipedia. Also, in the difference after it, this, you unlinked the Mures River, which is one of the most important rivers in Romania. If you could, it would be nice if you could relink that link (unless it is already linked elsewhere in the article.
  2. In addition, in this edit, you unlinked two more extremely important links: Michael I of Romania and Nicolae Ceauşescu. Both are very important people in the History of Romania. If they are linked elsewhere in the article, then sorry for pointing this out. You also unlinked Northern Transylvania, which doesn't harm anything by being linked.

Great job with the edits you made, it just took me a while to see that you really did make an astounding difference to that article :). Great work!

  Congratulations: You have been given a Barnstar!

For your work on Romania, I hereby award you this barnstar! Razorflame 04:59, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Wikiproject France

change

Hey, thanks for joining. It's not quite up and running, so feel free to add things to it. Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 17:45, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

No problem. I'm in love with the French language. obentomusubi 17:46, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Good, I speak french ;-) Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 17:48, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Nice! I actually have not had any formal training in French. I learned to write some by reading the French Wikipedia. obentomusubi 17:49, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Good. Hope to see you editing french articles then! Yotcmdr =talk to the commander= 17:50, 9 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Collaboration

change

Me too, anyway, lets get our hands in the mass. Probably more info, and a cool background as I said, peach or khaki. Could you explain me the basics and together we can mould it up.  ←Kalajan→  17:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

It's a beauty it is.  ←Kalajan→  10:23, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Nothing really, only, when you explain
  • bold
  • italic...

It dosen't come out level, and maybe we should add a link I'll give you in a sec.  ←Kalajan→  16:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

There.  ←Kalajan→  16:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Not really. New users don't have to become experts in one read. They'd be dead before finishing it! Should we sign our names into it? For more credit ;·)  ←Kalajan→  16:34, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Oh, perhaps it's mine. Once I accidently pressed Ctrl and scrolled down at the same time, my screen went all big. But I thought I fixed it. *Shrugs*  ←Kalajan→  16:38, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
So how do you do that {{text}} thing then?  ←Kalajan→  16:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Oh right. See you around! Ps. Shouldn't it be added to the welcoming templates page?  ←Kalajan→  16:45, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply
Well I already left a message.  ←Kalajan→  17:06, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hey

Great job! I really like it. SimonKSK 21:21, 11 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Thank you! obentomusubi 00:17, 12 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

Template changes

change

Regarding this, could you please discuss major changes to widely-used changes before implementing them? –Juliancolton (talk) 00:31, 18 February 2009 (UTC)Reply

GA/VGA templates

change

I've noticed you working on the GA and VGA talk page templates. I wonder if you could explain your rationale in adding promoters and proposers to the template. Is there a need for this? Either way (talk) 02:16, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

First off, I didn't care for the aesthetic (tmbox). Second, it gives some insight into the process and who was involved in its becoming a (very) good article. obentomusubi 02:19, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
I wasn't questioning the aesthetic change, I was just asking about adding those two components in particular. Can't we just link to the promotion discussion rather than having that? That's what happens at En Wiki, for example, with Featured Articles. Either way (talk) 02:23, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
I can do both for you. :) obentomusubi 02:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Archiving votes

change

Please don't archive votes until several hours after the closure of the vote. You need to give people more time to see the closure of the vote before you archive it. I would recommend waiting at least 12 hours before archiving votes. Thanks, Razorflame 07:28, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sorry! My edits are in good faith. I didn't know. obentomusubi 07:29, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
I know your edits were in good faith. I was just letting you know. Cheers, Razorflame 07:30, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply
