Kappa Sigma, Nu Lambda Chapter

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles, as you did with Kappa Sigma, Nu Lambda Chapter. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Leuko 21:08, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

• apologies, I wasn't sure how to handle it - I thought I read that was what we were supposed to do. I deleted it and left to do something. By the time I came back the article was already gone. Please restore it so we can discuss further. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jgladding (talk • contribs) .

Please see my response here. Leuko 21:58, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

More time?

I don't understand why you object to the article being deleted too soon. Isn't it better to remove it quickly before anyone's put too much work in it? By long precedant, individual chapters of organizations like this don't get articles, and this particular article was a shining example of why this precedent exists. This is an encyclopedia, whereas you are apparently looking for a group yearbook. If you want to record your chapter's history, great, go ahead, but Wikipedia is not the place for it.

Greek Row

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Greek Row, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've indicated in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issue at Talk:Greek Row. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it will probably still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Unspecified source for Image:Jasonwilliams.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jasonwilliams.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mosmof 16:45, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

main page title

I heard a rumor that your wondering how to remove the main page title on a personal wiki. Anyways, Wikipedia (along with a bunch of other wikimedia prjects) do it through javascript in Mediawiki:Common.js. Anyways the line you need (I'm pulling this from n:Mediawiki:monobook.js as i'm more familiar with it over there) is

//BEGIN remove Main Page title

var mpTitle = "Main Page";
var isMainPage = (/(title=|\/wiki\/)([Tt]alk:|)[Mm]ain[ _][Pp]age/.test(document.location));
var isMainPageFront = (document.title.substr(0, document.title.lastIndexOf(" - ")) == mpTitle);
var isDiff = (document.location.search && (document.location.search.indexOf("diff=") != -1 || document.location.search.indexOf("oldid=") != -1));

if (isMainPage && isMainPageFront && !isDiff)
{
document.write('<style type="text/css">/*<![CDATA[*/ #lastmod, #siteSub, #contentSub, h1.firstHeading { display: none !important; } /*]]>*/</style>');
}

//END remove Main Page title

Add that to the end of your wiki's Mediawiki:monobook.js (or perhaps Mediawiki:common.js) and it should get rid of it. If you just want to get rid of it for you, add it to <URL of wiki>/wiki/special:mypage/monobook.js

hope that helps. Bawolff 01:37, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

P.S. that only works for js browsers (virtually every modern/semi-modern browser except for text browsers like lynx, however it almost always is better with a title in lynx anyways, so thats not really an issue. Some users also turn off java-script, so they would still see the title). Bawolff 01:40, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

your welcome, glad I could help. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. (in future, its probably not a good idea to ask on Talk:Main Page as that's actually the wrong place for this type of thing. technically right place would proablly be at the village pump under technical (potntially, not sure about that) or on the mediawiki mailing list/#mediawiki irc channel (on irc.freenode.net) or somewhere in mediawiki wiki) Bawolff 06:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

yes, well around here (wikinews) its a lot simpler. On wikipedia its complex due to the extreme amount of people there. they have to have lots of rules, or stuff would become over-run. Bawolff 09:00, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:California State University

Hi. I noticed you took out the line beaks and added bullet points in the new template design and was wondering why. Were the lists not rendering correctly at your screen resolution or something? --Dynaflow 23:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

you are correct, sir! It was breaking at all the wrong points. I was on IE7 at the time.

You must have your screen resolution set to 800x600 or something like that. I put the breaks back in, but in different spots. Take a look at it again and see if it's still screwing up. Also, if you could, see if Template:San Diego State University is doing the same thing. Thanks. --Dynaflow 07:21, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Looks great now. :)

Coolness. Thanks. --Dynaflow 18:15, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. I noticed you changed some more of the coding for the template, and I am wondering if the template was displaying wrong again, or if the change was just a matter of taste, or what? In the future, you may want to leave an edit summary so that editors who come after you can tell why you made a particular change without having to come directly to you each time and ask. This is especially important when editing templates, as they are displayed on many, many pages and must render correctly in each one. Also, since my templates are non-standard ones I made from modifying a couple of original designs I built from scratch, a display problem with one template may indicate a problem with many others (Template:California State University, for example, shares a lot of elements "under the hood" with Template:University of California, Berkeley, not to mention the design similarities with direct derivations like Template:University of Hawaii). In any case, let me know what the problem was and how the change you made fixed it so I can see if the same issue exists on my other navboxes. Thanks. --Dynaflow babble 21:16, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

[Addendum:] If the change you made was due to a display problem, would you mind telling me what operating-system/browser/screen-resolution combination you're using? --Dynaflow babble 21:38, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

The font was getting "chopped" at the top, I just fixed to a more html friendly code. I am using IE6. The U of Hawaii one has the same problem.

"Chopped" how? Like, the letters are overflowing the background field or something? Assuming you're using Windows XP or 2000, right click your desktop, go to "Properties," and check what your screen resolution is. It should be in the last tab in the menu box, if I remember correctly. I'm curious what's causing this, and I don't have a Windows machine handy to duplicate it. --Dynaflow babble 22:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

send me your email and I will send a screenshot.

I was about to remove the image that is not , in my opinion, relavant to Telex.
