Historic U.S. Senators

[edit]

Love your work.

See the changes I've made to Weldon B. Heyburn… can you incorporate them into your "Senator Template"?

Mark Adler (markles) 03:34, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yeah I can see that's a better succession box. I'm not actually using that senator template much, since I've made javascript that can automatically do most of it for me, but I'll make sure to add that to the program, and I'll change the other articles I've done. --Mathwizard1232 03:42, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
One question, why does the US Senator box take which class they were in as a parameter, but then not display it? --Mathwizard1232 03:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The sad truth is that I haven't figured out how to impliment that parameter in the succession box. So I've started putting in the parameter in the hopes that eventually someone (maybe you?) will figure it out and then the data will be there. —Mark Adler (markles) 05:34, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Done. I figured I'd try doing that, turns out it was easy. But then I started adding it to all the pages that used the template, but didn't have it. That was an hour an a half. Anyhow, that's added in now, so I'm going to go sleep for a day. --Mathwizard1232 07:18, 17 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice to see someone else working on find-a-grave!

[edit]

I more or less stumbled into pruning the T series, at a time when I had time on my hands and a nervous tic that required use of a keyboard. I hope to finish the initial prune of T before running out of time.... wikipedia is nice in that it's got all these projects where you can work a little on them when you have time, and that little is actually somewhat useful..... --Alvestrand 22:54, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, it's cool being able to bounce around like that. I've been wandering around various lists that need doing, and this seemed like a good one. Easier than actually writing the articles. ;) --Mathwizard1232 00:39, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Congressional Districts

[edit]

There is a standard template for the Minnesota districts (see district 5) and I think that should be the template for the other states as well. I'll start working on them probably over my Spring Break next week. I don't know why people have shown so little interest in them thus far... You can respond here, I'm putting this on my watchlist. Grandmasterka 12:58, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, looks good. Right now I'm mostly looking at working on the code for mediawiki, once I get back to doing this actively I'll start adding to the other Minnesota districts. --Mathwizard1232 21:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

U.S. Senator template

[edit]

2 questions: 1.) What template should I use for a US Senator, a standard succession box or the U.S. Senator box.

2.) If I use the U.S. Senator box, what is the coding to make it worrk> Thanks in advance! American Patriot 1776 19:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I would use the U.S. Senator box. It's sort of personal preference, but it adds some parts to make it easier to show senator-specific information (what class (1,2,3) and who they served alongside (isn't applicable for other offices)). To make it work, you need {{start box}} at the beginning (only one for all boxes, if other sucession boxes, not needed). Then, the box is: {{U.S. Senator box| state=| before=[[]]| alongside=[[]], [[]]| after=[[]]| years=1969–1987| }} I think those parameters are fairly self-explanatory. If you want to see how to use them, ask me. At the end of the boxes, put {{end box}}. I think that covers it. Ask me if there's anything else. --Mathwizard1232 21:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks alot! American Patriot 1776 22:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SuggestBot code

[edit]

I was just going through and archiving SuggestBot's talk page and saw you made a request a long time ago to look at some code. It's written in Perl, and it is pretty heinous because it spent a couple of months continuously changing without a grand plan, so there are bits and pieces of random, unused stuff everywhere, and the documentation is somewhere between lacking and nonexistent. So unless you're up for looking at a bunch of crappy undocumented code, you might want to wait until v2.

Non-free rationale for File:Woodall.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Woodall.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:38, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
