Regarding the article about my father - Barq Kadapavi

Hi Mr David Fuchs,

Hope you are doing great at your end. MR David, Barq Kadapavi is my father, who was an internationally renowned Urdu language poet. I have written something about his work and life, please find that article over here "https://sites.google.com/site/barqkadapavi". I humbly request you to allow me to add this content to the great Wikipedia resource.

FAC graphics

Just to let you know, graphics, as in  Done  Doing... and/or  Not done are not generally permitted at WP:FAC, since they slow the load time of an already very long page. Regards, WackyWace converse | contribs 13:42, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

  • I'm not sure that is actually true. The done/not done images are vector images, rendered at 18px. They are fetched once from the server (~4.5kb) and populated by the browser wherever the image shows up. WP:REFUND is an undoubtedly smaller page than FAC but the done/not-done images there don't seem to impact the load time. Maybe I'm missing some element to it. Protonk (talk) 14:19, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
  • I don't really know. In the 'Supporting and opposing' section on WP:FAC, it reads: "use of graphics or templates including graphics (such as {{done}} and {{not done}}) is discouraged, as they slow down the page load time." I'm not a technical expert, so I would say that it probably doesn't affect the page load time that much, but I felt it appropriate to notify the user. Regards, WackyWace converse | contribs 16:49, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

competition

Hi there. Im looking to have a writing competition held in September and I am looking for a couple people to help me with their thoughts and ideas. I have had some input on the competition and have had several chats with people outside the wikipedia talk pages and I have decided to keep the competition limited to the following restraints: 1. Judges and competitors are separate and there has to be a finite list of them. 2. The competition should range from a few days to no more than 2 weeks, depending on the theme. Not a year long competition and not multiple stages. 3. The theme will be either creating ONE new article, expanding a stub, illustrating a large article with no pictures, editing an article in crisis or something similar to these ideas. If its successful we can have more competitions with other themes. 4. My general idea (but this needs serious development) is to have each article judged two or three times. The top ten are then announced as finalists and every judge then reviews those articles and the top three are announced. 4. Simple is good. Decide theme, decide rules, find people, define judges, define scoring criteria, assign topic or stub or whatever, come up with a way to discourage other users from working on the page (by far most difficult part requiring a lot of ingenuity and good ideas). Judge. Sounds simpler than it really is doesn´t it? 5. Keep it informal, simple and fun. 6. Find a name for it. Wanna help me with this? I´ll set up a new page and hope to build a team of three people to make this happen. Shabidoo | Talk 18:23, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Images

Hey David. You're a chap who's good with images, are you any good at removing backgrounds? I've got a couple character images I want to use in some infoboxes with that effective PNG transparency, but I'm struggling with ditching the background. The background and the characters are a similar hue and it just confuses the tools I'm using. Would you be willing to give them a look over and see what you can do? -- Sabre (talk) 01:04, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I've emailed them to you. Thanks! -- Sabre (talk) 10:05, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
Ok. I bet they're using those sort of backgrounds just to stop us doing just this sort of stuff! SC2 went well, finished it up just few days ago. Everything I could have asked for, really. Now I just need to start finding dev sources and bits to salvage the nose-dive the article's gone into since release. -- Sabre (talk) 12:22, 18 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello David, I've just been looking through my work, and it reminds me that I was rather miffed by your comments at GA review, and our failure to reply to User_talk:David_Fuchs/Archive_32#Talk:I.27d_Do_Anything_for_Love_.28But_I_Won.27t_Do_That.29.2FGA1 The JPStalk to me 11:00, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

I don't disagree with your assessment; the article was, and still is, not in the best of health. I was just a little upset, and still am, I guess (although I haven't been thinking about it continuously since February) that, a) I'd spent a couple of hours of my time addressing your concerns for them to be met with a dismissive summary, and, b) you didn't have the courtesy to reply to my follow-up message.

Duke Nukem Forever

Please explain to me why you find it necessary to delete sections from the Duke Nukem article, including a reception lead I added as per WP for balanced lead sections. The section for press coverage is important and needed to show its impact for its development time on the gaming industry, and on top of this you are adding details such as Unreal Engine 2, when clearly the latest screenshots released show Unreal Engine 3 footage.

We can keep the discussion here so we don't bounce back and forth (I'm watching your page for your response).

Other Wikipedia Hide/Show seems to work fine for me, but the space in the infobox is very limited compared to the context of the ones that work okay for me.

Dave, to allay your fears, I am neither a crank nor a luddite. I have, in a previous incarnation, been a research and reference librarian and have used templated cataloguing for MARC records for over 25 years. The problem in Wikiwonderland stems from both the poorly formatted citation templates and a lack of understanding as to what to input into the associated template paramaters. On the other hand, I have been an photographer, graphic artist, author, editor and filmmaker for over 30 years (my time usually devoted to creative pursuits in off-hours). I have also written for movies as a screenwriter, served as a technical advisor and director on two documentaries, as well as writing movie reviews. My avocation is as an aviation historian and my books have revolved around the topic of aviation lore and history, hence my interest in a perfunctory way, regarding The Rocketeer (film). In the past, I had served as a Film Project Coordinator alongside many other long-time editors in the group. I choose to leave the position because I felt that the numerous disputes and constant bickering over inconsequential issues was sapping my energy and time. I purposely left The Rocketeer article off my watchlist for precisely those reasons. Take a look at the article in a week or so, after I have given it a go-over; I will endeavour not to jeopardize its FA status. FWiW (note that I write in Canadianisms...)
