July 2014

Hello, I'm Petrb. An edit you recently made to Write-in candidate seemed to be a test and has been removed. If you want more practice editing, the sandbox is the best place to do so. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Petrb (talk) 19:57, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

No, this was not a test. GoLatvia (talk) 19:59, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Yes it was a bug in sw I create, forget this. Petrb (talk) 20:01, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

File:Duck curve with duck.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for the calculation of the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Section headings

Hello GoLatvia. Just to let you know "Preliminary results" is a standard heading in articles when the results are incomplete – see 2019 Solomon Islands general election#Preliminary results. Cheers, Number 57 11:19, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

This is not an issue that is worth arguing over because eventually the word "preliminary" will drop. So if you insist on having that word in the section title during the days while the votes are being counted, I won't edit-war over that. GoLatvia (talk) 12:12, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

I wasn't here to argue, just to let you know that this is how things are normally done. I don't think there's anything to argue over. Number 57 12:22, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

Israeli election seat figures

Please read this liveblog which shows that New Right have not won seats (particularly the 12:46 update (four hours after the latest CEC website update). Cheers, Number 57 15:05, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

I don't want to edit-war with you, because in the next day or two things will settle, but you cannot display the New Right with 3.26% of the vote below the threshold. Regardless, please restore the text "Parties listed below did not pass the electoral threshold of 3.25%" for the thershold line. That should not be controversial. GoLatvia (talk) 15:52, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

I agree it's a mess. I was thinking about removing figures from the percentage column temporarily, but assumed someone would reinstate it as it would look empty. If you agree that's a decent temporary solution, please go ahead and do that.

I don't think that text is necessary, and it isn't included in other results tables (see 2015 or 2013). Number 57 15:57, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

The text adds clarity as to what the line means. I am puzzled as to why you object to it. GoLatvia (talk) 15:58, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

It's unnecessary, and isn't used in other articles. Please stop adding it – respect WP:BRD and start a discussion on the talk page if it is really an issue. Thanks, Number 57 15:34, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

This is the WP:BRD discussion, and your argument of WP:OTHERSTUFFDOESNTEXIST doesn't quite cut it. We can add this description to the other articles. Please stop edit warring. GoLatvia (talk) 15:37, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

We don't need to add this to other articles, as it's simply unnecessary. Number 57 15:40, 18 April 2019 (UTC)
