Could use your expertise

I thought I needed your assistance to re-format the Mourning Dove Page, and eliminate 12" of free space at the top before the text begins. However, when I didn't see any changes made by you yesterday, I went back in and figured it out for myself. It's perfect now. Thanks anyway, Pocketthis (talk) 16:26, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

I didn't see anything, it could be only your browser. I've swapped it with another image, so the first line of the description section doesn't wrap around it. —innotata 14:29, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

I don't know exactly when you checked it, but what it turned out to be was the "Video" was placed incorrectly and nothing would load above it. I moved it to the left side a bit lower on the page, and that fomatted the text back to normal. Thanks for the additional work you did. Take care. Pocketthis (talk) 18:28, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Hand-coding

Hey all :).

I'm dropping you a note because you've been involved in dealing with feedback from the Article Feedback Tool. To get a better handle on the overall quality of comments now that the tool has become a more established part of the reader experience, we're undertaking a round of hand coding - basically, taking a sample of feedback and marking each piece as inappropriate, helpful, so on - and would like anyone interested in improving the tool to participate :).

You can code as many or as few pieces of feedback as you want: this page should explain how to use the system, and there is a demo here. Once you're comfortable with the task, just drop me an email at okeyeswikimedia.org and I'll set you up with an account :).

If you'd like to chat with us about the research, or want live tutoring on the software, there will be an office hours session on Monday 17 December at 23:00 UTC in #wikimedia-office ^connect. Hope to see some of you there! Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 23:10, 14 December 2012 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Happy New Year!! Could you please explain me what is the advantage of changing my references style on birds, as you do ? (web.archive.org). Regards

Thank you. As far as archive links, these are added in case the original link breaks, as happens with the majority of websites eventually. It's good to add them to pretty much all places where this is possible. See Wikipedia:Link rot for more. —innotata 20:56, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

MHS Meetup 1/12/13

Thanks for RSVPing for the MHS Wikipedia Day meetup on Saturday at 12:30! We look forward to seeing you. If you're driving, tell the parking attendant that you're with Wikipedia and they'll have you sign in for free parking. When you get in the building, there will be signs directing you to the Irvine Room (1st floor, past the cafe). Meet us there to pick up your free lunch vouchers. We looking forward to seeing you Saturday! More info here Mhsrc (talk) 21:20, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Spanish Sparrow‎ (sections)

Hi. I'm based in the Handbook of the Bird of the World (HBW). They have the same structure (regarding the sections) of the Wikiproyect Birds. So, as you can guess, i'm pretty used to it. ;-) --Ornithodiez (talk) 23:17, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

There's no requirement for this, and we don't need to copy more technical sources in our more general coverage. As for the WikiProject birds convention, it's to put one of the two sections first and the other after, since both define what the subject is in different ways, and as written it makes specially more sense to put description first. —innotata 23:41, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Notification of discussion

A few months ago, you participated in a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Did you know about Gibraltar-related DYKs on the Main Page. I am proposing that the temporary restrictions on such DYKs, which were imposed in September 2012, should be lifted and have set out a case for doing so at Wikipedia talk:Did you know/Gibraltar-related DYKs. If you have a view on this, please comment at that page. Prioryman (talk) 22:08, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

File:"Winter Sports Week" poster (1924 Olympics).jpg

You added a tag saying that this isn't in the public domain per URAA. Could you clarify why you think so? According to Commons:File:1924WOlympicPoster.jpg, the artist is Auguste Matisse who is claimed to have died in 1931. As far as I can see (taking copyright war extensions into consideration), this poster was in the public domain in France on the URAA date because the artist died before 1937. It left the public domain in France a few months later, but that's irrelevant when determining the US copyright status. Is there any reason to assume that the country of origin isn't France and that the image was protected by copyright in the source country on the URAA date? --Stefan2 (talk) 13:46, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

You must be right, I was probably just following the copyright status given on the Commons description page. —innotata 15:40, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback deployment

Hey Innotata; I'm dropping you this note because you've used the article feedback tool in the last month or so. On Thursday and Friday the tool will be down for a major deployment; it should be up by Saturday, failing anything going wrong, and by Monday if something does :). Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 22:43, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Can you let me know what you want to access? or post at WP:RX so that other people can see your request. —innotata 17:31, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
