Thanks for uploading File:Stephen Powers VAIN gallery graffiti wall in Belltown, Seattle.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 03:38, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos. |

If you don't agree, the place to take this issue is Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style. See if others agree that the guidelines should change to treat metre and litre as the new standard, even on articles using US English. Cite your evidence. Maybe everyone will support it and the guidelines will shift. It's fine with me either way. I'm happy as long as we're following the guidelines and not wasting time on trivialities. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 05:28, 14 February 2019 (UTC)

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.
Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. RSVP through this Facebook event link.

I previously added Former Kaiser and frazier brander to former brands on the Chrysler corporation, if so the Maxwell, the former Nash Hudson and rambler shouldn't be on there then since they were long merged into rambler and AMC, which contradicts you reasoning of removing the Kaiser frazer brands, also the Automotive HAll of fame lists the succession order on Henry J Kaiser's Bio [1] car and driver, ( https://www.caranddriver.com/features/a15075157/a-history-of-jeeps-corporate-parents-they-all-die-feature/) As as the case with Maxwell, Nash-Rambler and Hudson I believe as a successor Brand to Post 1970 AMC they should be listed as a former Brand. Also the kaiser V* became the Amc v8 so they are form to amc. [2]

Hello, an editor has recently been adding cylinder etc. to infobox engine parameters. E.g. here. I've always been under the impression that the shorter form was used in the majority of cases but there does not seem to be anything in the project conventions about it. It's only a minor point really, but has there been any prior discussion about this. Thanks. Best regards, Eagleash ( talk) 17:44, 25 May 2019 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited GY6 engine, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Scooter ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hi, I am a newcomer editor of Wikipedia. I appreciate your collaborative spirit of helping others in becoming experts on editing Wikipedia articles. You said, "I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Lane splitting have been undone because they appeared to be promotional." Here, the use of the verb "appear" is misleading because the behavioral rules that are described in the quoted reference are important for people with interest in knowing more about the phenomenon of motorcycle lane-sharing. Furthermore, the study was done in Latin-America and provides empirical evidence about the phenomenon in that region. Although the reference belongs to the list of my scientific publications, I can not understand why it still appears as promotional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Juanccorrean ( talk • contribs) 19:43, 7 July 2019 (UTC)
Persistently re-adding citations, links or other content that multiple other editors have said is promotional is likely to violate the COI guidelines and lead to a block. I would suggest going to Talk:Lane splitting -- an the talk pages of the other articles you are edit warring on -- and explaining why you think the citations are helpful. Do not re-add them to articles yourself. If there is consensus to add them, another editor can do it.
It is much easier to edit Wikipedia if you choose topics where you don't have a personal stake, but if you are going to continue to try to add citations of your own works, please suggest them on talk pages. You should also consider the guidelines at WP:SCHOLARSHIP. Many academic works are considered primary sources and are not desirable on Wikipedia. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 19:57, 7 July 2019 (UTC)

Hi Dennis, a user created /info/en/?search=Mafi_roll_trailer (possibly) in good faith. Mafi is a brand name of roll trailer. It would be perfectly valid to have that content under the catch-all term of roll trailer as it is a common piece of machinery at ports and doesn't appear to be covered under types of trailers (the user has bluelinked it here with the brand name: /info/en/?search=Trailer_(vehicle)). I've put a maintenance template there but it needs an editor/admin to look at it and determine whether it should be deleted and reformed sans brand names. Is this something you can help with?

Hi Dennis. I'm having an issue with another editor who thinks it's a good idea to insert whitespace and other stuff to try to control image placement and layout. Obviously I disagree, with concerns about the universality of this "manual layout" across different browsers and user preferences. I thought this was strongly discouraged, but I can't find the relevant guideline. Are you aware of whether and where this is codified? - Bri.public ( talk) 15:47, 22 August 2019 (UTC)
WP:OVERSECTION "Between sections, there should be a single blank line; multiple blank lines in the edit window create too much white space in the article. There is no need to include a blank line between a heading and sub-heading." Also: Help:Pictures#Forcing a break "Do not force page design just so that it looks pretty on your display."
Also, forcing image sizes is bad because... WP:IMAGESIZE "Except with very good reason, do not use px (e.g. |thumb|300px), which forces a fixed image width. In most cases upright=scaling factor should be used, thereby respecting the user's base preference"... and Wikipedia:Extended image syntax "only where absolutely necessary, users' preferences may be disregarded and the size of the image fixed by specifying a size in pixels". and MOS:IMGSIZE "Where a smaller or larger image is appropriate, use |upright=scaling factor"... " an image coded 275px—presumably to make it wider than most images on a particular page—is actually rendered smaller than most images if the user has changed his base width to 300px. In contrast, upright responds gracefully to changes in the user's base width, maintaining the relative size of images in any given article by enlarging or reducing all of them proportionately." -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 16:13, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

|upright
instead of |193x193px
. The only reason the first images are the same width is if the user has set their default thumbnail size to 220px at
193x193px at
Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering. But if they set it to 300px or more, then
File:Polish POWs shot by Wehrmacht 1939.jpg will be smaller than the other images. Users who choose a thumb width of less than 220px will see larger than the rest of the images. The only way to get a consistent, graceful result is to use |upright
or |upright=0.8
, |upright=1.2
, or whatever, to scale images proportionately. All the other vertical images, like
File:Dwight D. Eisenhower, official photo portrait, May 29, 1959.jpg or
File:Bundesarchiv Bild 101I-179-1575-08, Ioannina, Deportation von Juden.jpg need to use |upright
too.If images look too small or too big on your display, you should adjust that at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-rendering, not by forcing pixel width on images, tables, columns, etc. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 16:37, 22 August 2019 (UTC)

On behalf of The Wikipedia Library team -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 06:58, 27 September 2019 (UTC)
Hi Dennis. Just wondering what you think of the design of this graphic. The way it displays volume as an area seems intriguing but it took me a minute to "get it". Is there a better way that you know of to present this? - Bri.public ( talk) 22:14, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
I guess my rule of thumb is that it's great if you can get a graph in a flash, like at Languages of the United States. It's only giving you a small amount of information. One dimension. When you start adding layers of meaning, and adding dimensions, a graph can pack more information into a small space. For me an ideal graph gives you a rough idea at a glance, and the longer you look at it, you glean more. So at Sinking of the RMS Titanic#Casualties and survivors, the base colors -- blues, greens, yellows -- give you a rough picture of the population. Looking closer, you see a light blue and a dark blue, giving you more detail. You have to zoom into full magnification to find relatively small data values, like number of first class children surviving. The treemap at Vehicle#Types of vehicles does that too -- at a glance you see the big volume models are a bike, a motorcycle and a car. But if you zoom all the way into the lower right, there is information, only one pixel wide, accurately comparing the most common plane, jet, and helicopter models. It's hard to see, but that's the point.
If I can get the raw data I could make one like the Volkswagen graph using line-width, of the bitcoin graph, just to compare. But I think it's basically fine. At a glance you see the rise and fall of the stock price, and you see it crashed when some huge transactions happened. The fact that it might demand more time to fully understand all of it is fine in my book, because it rewards your time and effort with more information. The reason I've fought so much with the Elections Prject over these color-graded maps like those at the top of 2016 United States presidential election in Alabama , and every other state election article, is that you can stare at them for as long as you want, but your knowledge of detail never increases. It's so difficult to figure out which percentage goes with which shade of blue in File:United States presidential election in Alabama, 2016.svg say, Montgomery and Dallas county, that you have no idea exactly how many votes that is. It's fixable with a different type of treemap, such as suggested at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Elections and Referendums/Archive 11#RfC on type of treemap, or by putting pie graphs on top of county maps, as done here 2016 United States presidential election in Michigan. All of these take the reader a minute to get their bearings, but some are worth your mental effort and some remain as fuzzy as when you first saw it. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 23:04, 7 October 2019 (UTC)
I'm not a Bitcoin expert but I think it's OK to create a table of dates and transactions, and it's OK to make a graph of it that doesn't draw any surprising conclusions. The example we have here actual was published in other sources, so the "interpretation" involved in creating this visualization isn't original research, it's attributable to secondary sources.
I don't know how you extract this info from the ledger. Never looked into it. -- Dennis Bratland ( talk) 01:22, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
If you know the address then anybody with access to the ledger (which is basically anyone on the Internet) can look up related transactions. And there are web services to do this, e.g. [4] ☆ Bri ( talk) 02:21, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest |
![]() |
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Your recent editing history at Erica C.

To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi Dennis,
I thought I should take this to your talk page because I assume you meant well in your reply at Articles for deletion/Erica C. Barnett, but I thought maybe we could have a reasonable discussion. I honestly did not intend my edits to be construed as disruptive, so if you feel the tags were erroneously added, you may remove them and bring the discussion to the applicable article talk page. I'd just appreciate it if you could clarify for me why we need to have 2, 3, or even 4 reliable sources which prove such basic details as, "person X was a journalist," "person Y started website A with person Z," etc. That's all I meant by adding those tags.
Hoping we can resolve this amicably as I appreciate your contributions to the discussions and your editing.
Best,

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
You make an interesting point yes I would accept that as possibly being true, except for the fact that the real point is that there can't possibly be a citation for a known fact. The article itself before I even got to it and which you have left in your wisdom, states that it was commissioned by a monuments committee, was sculpted to be a monument, was erected as a monument, and stood as a monument in "Czechoslovak Socialist Republic." The citation could be this Wikipedia page itself because it's Wikipedia page would you say is fine says that it was always a monument. So the question is what do you want me to do I think correct your mistake? Where does one find a citation for water is wet? And if you don't understand that commentary I am very sad for you. Also there's a very long diatribe that has nothing to do with the statue that you keep on leaving in there. It's a diatribe against Putin and Russian aggression in the modern era which has absolutely nothing to do with this topic yet you keep on putting it back in. it's pro-ukraine the current government Ukraine which has nothing to do with this article or the monument, is openly fascist and white nationalist. are you purposely trying to keep an unrelated diatribe in the middle of this article just to support white nationalism in Ukraine?
