Aus Primetime Template

Hi can you please elaborate as to why you removed this infobox from the TVW-7? Swarve 06:53, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The template in question is related to Seven Network programming, hence it should go on the Seven Network page. I don't see the need in sticking that template on every single thing that remotely related to the Seven Network! If people were interesting in general Seven Network programming, they would go to the Seven Network page.

At times different states show different programming. TVW-7, for example, aired Telethon over Saturday and Sunday. Different states show different codes of football at different times. HSV-7 sometimes makes "Made in Melbourne" specials that air Sunday nights. Because of this programming difference the placement of the generic Seven Network programming template on individual metropolitan affiliates is misleading to readers from other countries who will take that template as a given fact for that state, when it isn't true.

While I cannot say that I supoprt the primetime template at all, at most it should only be used on the Seven Network page to show general network programming. Anything else is just absurd. The same applies for the Nine and Ten templates. DynaBlast 15:51, 14 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Australian tv ratings

Hi, I noticed you have been involved with making pages like List of Australian television ratings for My Restaurant Rules. Are you sure this is a good idea??? I can see you've already put a lot of work into it, but I just have to question how encyclopaedic this information is. Are people going to care, even in five years time? Who is it possibly useful to?

I see in Template:Aus ratings box you've got "by year" pages and also "by program" pages. The "by year" pages, I can just see the usefulness of. But the "by program"????? No way. Imagine if we have every program ever made in Australia with ratings going back every year to the year dot. It just seems like a huge amount of data for not much purpose. If stations want to keep this data to talk up/talk down their programs, that's their business. I don't see that it has a lot to do with WP.

Please have a think about this and reply on my Talk page. Thanks, pfctdayelise 01:27, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Also, a couple more things to talk about. If you are just copying data wholesale from a newspaper/ratings source, it is probably still (C) them and thus not GFDL. Also, you shouldn't use the station logos on pages like List of Australian television ratings for 2005. Fair use rationale is not that broad. Instead, you should link to the station's article. pfctdayelise 01:31, 18 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Request for edit summary

When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this:

The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature.

When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:00, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One more reason to put edit summaries: you removed prime for the list of mathematical topics, and I did not understand why you did that. I eventually figured it out by going to that page and see that it is disambig, but an edit summary would have explained that. :) Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:02, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I usually do, but I went and disambiged about 30 Prime's to their respective pages and couldn't be bothered putting in an edit summary for each one. Sorry for the confusion! DynaBlast 07:11, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Media:Bookman.png

Can you explain why did you replace the Bookman sample I created with a Palation sample at Image:Bookman.png? ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 02:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. I was u[pdating the sample for the infobox implemented at Bookman (typeface). The picture contained the Bookman typeface, but I accidentally wrote Palation in the summary (careless Copy & Paste) DynaBlast 03:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but yo also overwrote the sample image with all the glyphs that I created! I will need to re-upload it. Please upload your sample under another name such as Bookman_infobox.png. Thanks!≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 03:10, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps we could co-ordinate together on these infoboxes. It would be great if I could somehow include your glyph image into the table (though the Quick Fox sample text is now redundant). Perhaps something at the bottom of the infobox like...

'''Sample text'''
[[Image:typeface_sample]]
([[:Image:typeface_glyphs|See all glyphs]])

...which would form...

Sample text
Bookman sample text
(See all glyphs)

What do you think? DynaBlast 03:20, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That would work. Thanks. ≈ jossi ≈ t • @ 05:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Nine in a Box.png

I was wondering where you saw that this image by w00fa was released under the cc-by-sa license (which is how you've tagged it). - Mark 13:32, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I discussed the release of the image with the creator at the Media Spy forums via private messaging. He replied that it was fine to use the image. w00fa's profile at Media Spy lists contact information if you wish to discuss the licensing with him. DynaBlast 13:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I did just that, and w00fa confirmed this. Sorry for inconveniencing you, and keep up the good work. :) - Mark 14:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Nine Network logo.png

Are you sure though that this is really the new nine logo? ~ Trisreed my talk my contribs 06:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From what I hear it is the correct article. Aus.tv.history is a long running site, and has not made up false claims before. In addition, the logo is to be revealed on Monday, so I doubt any site would risk damaging such a long-standing reputation with an immature prank. Still, the logo may not be spot on (the shade of blue, whether or not the corners are rounded, etc) but I'm sure it will suffice until Monday.

I was originally going to just put the new logo under the Rebranding section, and leave the top logo the original until it can be confirmed. By the time I got to Wikipedia, both had already been done, and I dare say they will again if anyone tries to change it back. DynaBlast 07:05, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just created a svg version of the new logo, and marked your as redundant: Image:Nine Network.svg ~ Trisreed my talk my contribs 08:48, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No probs. DynaBlast 08:59, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just created a svg version of your Prime & GWN logos, too ~ Trisreed my talk my contribs 06:02, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

re:SVG font rendering

hello DynaBlast - Thanks for the tip on converting to paths before saving an SVG. I think I'll be able to do that in Illustrator, but, do you know if the image is still wikifiable at that point? Debivort 18:44, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Television licence area - Perth.png

Speedy deletion warning

Image:Television licence area - Perth.png has been listed at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant with Image:Television license area - Perth.svg.

New leaf anatomy image

Thanks for making the cleaner verion of the leaf anatomy image, but there are two things you missed. (1) The cells of the spongy layer should be in contact with each other, not free-floating. (2) There should be cuticle on the adaxial surface of the inner lining of the guard cells.

Look for the bit of orange cuticle on the lip of the stoma). Otherwise, it looks good. --EncycloPetey 03:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Typeface Image Changes

Just wanted to let you know that I was going through some typefaces and updating some sample images. One of them (Arial) was recently updated by you. My goal for these updates are to provide comparisons of the typeface at different point sizes, and to include some symbols and numbers for further study.

Since you appear to have updated several typeface images, it would be prudent if you and I (and all other typeface sample image contributors) could agree on a standard for the sample images. I have not the time to edit them all myself, nor the prerequisite boldness (considering that I am still a wikipedia noob). :-)

Have a nice day. Zab 08:22, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Desargues theorem.svg

Hi DynaBlast, I translated the labels in your picture to Dutch and flipped the diagram to make them fit better. Image:Stelling van Desargues.svg is the result. This is just to inform you, but if I missed anything, please let me know; this was my first time using Inkscape and I'm not very license-savvy either. Oliphaunt 11:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
