Tables

Thanks for performing the conversion to tables at List of snack foods! Northamerica1000^(talk) 17:01, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Happy to do it. Which is next for table conversion? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:03, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Check out the Convert to table format section at the checklist I created and take your pick! Northamerica1000^(talk) 17:07, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm looking at List of dishes using coconut milk. How should I handle it? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 17:10, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Well, if it isn't too much fuss, I'd just convert all to tables. Oftentimes Google Books can provide sources that exist beyond just recipes, particularly for historic and cultural dishes. Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:12, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

No fuss at all. I will get started. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:13, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Actually, doesn't the origin column mean we don't need lots of separate tables? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:17, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello again: Since it's organized by origin, I'd do the tables by section, like at List of snack foods, and omit the origin section. No need to repeat the same locations repeatedly. Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:24, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Okay. Should I omit the origin column entirely. List of dishes using coconut milk#Indian section is the only one that might need it, but that info could go into the description column. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 18:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

The List of dishes using coconut milk#Indian section is a tricky one, because there are several dishes that are within subtopics of general Indian cuisine. Maybe an origin section in the table for this section would be functional. I'll leave it to your discretion! Northamerica1000^(talk) 18:32, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Update: I've alphabetized everything at List of dishes using coconut milk in each section. Northamerica1000^(talk) 19:58, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Update: I converted the first section in the article. I noticed that you have added the Inuse template, so I'll stay off the article while you're working on it! Cheers, Northamerica1000^(talk) 20:05, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Done. I didn't do the India section because it doesn't really contain dishes, so I don't know how to handle it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for donating your time to improve the encyclopedia. The List of dishes using coconut milk#Indian section may very well be just fine the way it is! Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:32, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Food list articles

		The Barnstar of Collaboration
		Thanks so much for all of your work and collaboration on the various food list articles located at my checklist of food articles. It is greatly appreciated! Best regards, Northamerica1000(talk) 20:23, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Thank you kindly!! Actually, I'm doing the easy stuff. You're doing the legwork and the organization. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:38, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

New section added to list

I've added a new section at the food article checklist, titled Missing descriptions. Northamerica1000^(talk) 22:28, 4 April 2013 (UTC)

Very useful, thank you. I hope it's okay, but I swapped in pink because I couldn't see the bold. The code, as you see, is just

| style="background:pink;" at the far left. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:09, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Scotsman - logo 01.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:The Scotsman - logo 01.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:49, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Table at Bats of Canada

Hi there. I noticed you updated the table at Bats of Canada. It's certainly a visual improvement over how I had previously styled it, but it introduces a problem. Readers with red-green colour blindness will not be able to interpret it, and have no other way of obtaining that information from the table. I was thinking that instead we could use check and cross marks, such as File:True.svg and File:False.svg. I think this would retain the visual distinctiveness you introduced, while ensuring that the colour blind can also read the table. What do you think? Mindmatrix 15:42, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Clever bunny. :) I never considered that. Now, best of boths worlds. Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:06, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

I left a bolder set in the history, but I just compared both side by side, and I think your set is easiest on the eyes and on the brain in terms of colour separation. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:08, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and nice job on the article!! :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 22:12, 5 April 2013 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) I reverted to the other set since I think it's more prevalent on the wiki and thus more consistent, and I also took out the crosses to make it less cluttered. Feel free to revert either change if either of you don't think it's an improvement. wctaiwan (talk) 04:02, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Small potatoes but maybe the red offers necessary contrast, and exemplifies the "nots". Anna Frodesiak (talk) 09:47, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I'm happy with either; both are better than the "Yes" and "No" I had originally used. Mindmatrix 10:00, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok. I still lean toward showing the red. There's a visual balance in both colours being present. It's almost a neutrality thing. Showing where they're not is equally important to where there are. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 10:08, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Alright, ticks and crosses it is, then. wctaiwan (talk) 11:22, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

How about little pics of jalapenos and frogs? I could take a picture of Struggles (my frog), although he's not very green. He's a pleasant olive colour. I asked if it would be okay with him and he said "berrrrb-berrrrb" which is frog for "I ordered a caterpillar half an hour ago. What kind of joint are you running?"

Protocol for user who repeatedly deletes article?

Hi, I hope this is the correct place to ask this question, but a link to your talk page was on the site. If the wrong place, please advise as to where I should address this issue. A new user has twice deleted a biographical article Harold S. Koplewicz in the past two days and replaced it with a personal promotional piece provided by the article subject. I and another user have started new talk threads related to this to initiate a discussion with that user but our communication is ignored by the user. Any ideas? Pennphdabd (talk) 04:40, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

It seems like you're in a dialogue with him, so I will let you resolve things. Let me know if it doesn't work out. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:20, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I have filed a noticeboard request for assistance at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard#Harold_S._Koplewicz, since this article violates several BLP standards, and is being edited by three identities which exist only to edit articles on this one topic over an extended period of time.

Photos for WikiProject Breakfast

Hi. Thank you for joining WikiProject Breaktast. As you stated on our article, you can provide images of Chinese breakfast upon request? That would be wonderful, as there are many articles within our scope that greatly need those. Specifically, if possible of course, could you provide us with photos of traditional Chinese breakfast, as well as photos of breakfast cereal in China? Thank you very much, and I am looking forward to your response. Coolboygcp (talk) 19:12, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Sure. Could you say what images we need? Also, I don't know anyone who eats cereal, and nobody eats it in public. Would an image of supermarket shelves full of cereals be okay? Mostly, these products are oats and other such grains to which one adds hot water. Would there be label copyright issues? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 19:27, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes there would be label copyright issues. Please do not expect Coolboygcp to assess or describe the label copyright issues to you. Several images uploaded as part of this project have been deleted for copyright violation already, within the last few days. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 20:51, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh dear. I had been wondering about that. Here are some images from from my Commons uploads:

• File:Er guo tou 1.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
• File:Jelly snack from China.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
• File:Yili Group milk 1 litre tetra pack.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)
• File:Great Wall Wine bottle 01.jpg (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Should I speedy them? Can they exist as non-free at enwp? I'm so sorry. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:13, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

I have dealt with the same issue prior. The commons photos should be deleted immediately, and uploaded onto Wikipedia as non-free images, also when filling out he copyright information for the images, list your sources, the company who makes the products depicted in the images, and what article(s) they will be in. I don't really know Demiurge well, and I doubt he knows me well either. I have had images deleted due to copyright violations in the past, but have since uploaded non-free images correctly, and they have not been deleted.

I will speedy all 4 at once, keeping copies on my computer.

I will not upload them as non-free to enwp right now. If it's like a logo, it must be low resolution, and for a specific article to identify the company. So, a logo image should do, and there is no justification for them being at enwp. That's my guess until I get info to the contrary. Best to err on the side of caution. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:23, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Regarding the images, photos of cereal on shelves is perfectly fine. Also, if you could get some photos of traditional Chinese breakfasts, that would be great as well. Additionally, photos of Chinese Nesquik is greatly needed as well. There would be copyright concerns regarding cereal and products thst are in the packaging, however, as long as you follow the correct process for non-free images use yoy should be perfectly alright. Thank you for everything, and I hope that you can take some photos for this WikiProject so we can improve the quality of articles within then scope of our WikiProject, as well as Wikipedia at large. Coolboygcp (talk) 23:25, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Products on shelves, I must assume, have the same restrictions and discussed above. Again, that's my guess until I get info to the contrary.

Out of curiosity, I see now that you are quite new. How do you know all of this about images? Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:23, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Update

After a discussion at IRC, it seems that images of products on store shelves is dodgy. If you can show me some policies that allow it, fine. Until then, I won't touch it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:14, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

And as you can see, all 4 images are now deleted. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:15, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello Anna: Check out Commons:De minimis for more information about copyright-protected logos, labels, etc. as per Wikimedia Commons' official policy. Regarding non-free content on Wikipedia, check out (if you haven't already seen them) Wikipedia:Non-free content and Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. Basically, Commons forbids non-free content unless it is de minimis, but non-free content is allowable on Wikipedia as long as the guidelines and policies are followed. Northamerica1000^(talk) 04:01, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Exactly, this was my point exactly, thank you Northamerica1000. Additionally, I am not quite new. This account is almost two years old, and I have other accounts that are much older.Coolboygcp (talk) 09:38, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Coolboygcp: Yes, okay. I'm walking away from this one.

Northamerica1000: Thanks for the De minimis info. That was useful, and fits with common sense. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 23:36, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

		Editor of the Week
		Your ongoing efforts to improve the encyclopedia have not gone unnoticed: You have been selected as Editor of the Week, for her wide variety of fantastic contributions and her consistent voice of reason in her peer interactions. Thank you for the great contributions! (courtesy of the Wikipedia Editor Retention Project)

• User:Dennis Brown submitted the following nomination:
  • I nominate Anna Frodesiak (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) as Editor of the Week after watching her in action as both an editor, and as a voice of reason. She doesn't jump in the limelight, yet she can be found in virtually every area of Wikipedia, from fighting vandals, gnoming with articles to put a little extra polish on them. She has almost 60,000 contribs, and has created 1407 articles at Wikipedia (enough to choke up Soxred93's tools for listing all of them) She epitomizes the helpful generalist gnome at Wikipedia, someone who will jump into any area and offer to help, cleaning up then moving on. In short, she helps put a lot of polish on Wikipedia in ways that truly benefit the reader, as well as serves as a moderating voice in many discussions. In short, I think she is exactly the type of person that deserves acknowledgement for all her hard work. Dennis Brown - 2¢ © Join WER
