thread_title:  Picture 

message: This is a request for help from someone with more ParserFunctions-fu than I: I just copied over a bunch of code from  that splits the class category we currently lump together as "NA" into categories for Redirect-class, Template-class, Category-class, Disambig-class, etc.  Unfortunately, I don't understand the code well enough to get the banner to display "this is not an article and does not need assessment" when any of these classes are selected.  It's fairly standard practice, and is done on TWP and other WikiProject banners, I'm just not qualified to identify which parts of the code can be copied.  Thanks in advance!  —CComMack (t–c) 18:38, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Replacing "NA"-class with more specific classes 

message: I have been working on . My main aim was to change the template so that it would list any articles tagged for both WikiProject Philadelphia and WikiProject Pennsylvania. I have had some success, but the work is incomplete. It seems that the template DOES jointly list quality, but does not list importance for both. See Talk:Curtis Publishing Company for an example. Can you recommend a programmer I can work with to fix this?
BTW ... I have also asked CComMack, SatyrTN, Maniwar the same question. All the best, --evrik (talk) 21:07, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Transition altitude

message: An article on this topic existed at Transition Altitude (note the caps). I copied the text over from there onto this page, ovewriting the existing article as the other one seemed to have better style. To be just, here is the previous version of this article:
 Transition altitude is the altitude above which aircraft set their altimeter to standard pressure (29.92 in/Hg).  This allows them to have a single setting  while cruising, rather than constantly adjusting to local conditions.  In the United States, the transition altitude is FL180 (18,000ft about MSL at standard pressure).   Altitudes above the transition altitude are expressed as Flight Levels and abbreviated FLxxx, in hundreds of feet above Mean Sea Level at standard pressure.  Below the transition altitude, altitude is above field level au current pressure and expressed as the whole number of feet (as in 17,000 - one-seven thousand).
When the altimeter reads below standard pressure, FL180 is not available, as  spacing between 17,000 and FL180 is in reality less than 1000ft.''

Talk:Politics of Rhodesia

message: David. You have amended the text concerning the electoral rolls to read :
The most significant 1969 modifications were that the B roll and cross voting were both abolished. Instead, the constituencies were reformed so that there were 50 elected by white voters, and 8 elected by African voters 
Are you sure that is entirely correct?. If you look at the link to Rhodesian election results and go to the 1970 and 1974 elections, there is reference to A and B roll seats. Also, I know that some people of colour were on the main A roll. 
That source contains the following statement relevant to post 1970 Rhodesian elections :
The elections were held with two rolls. The "A" roll represented constituencies with largely European [White] populations. Blacks and other minorities could compete in elections for "A" roll seats, but stringent qualification requirements effectively excluded most of these groups. The "B" roll generally represented constituencies with largely non-white populations.

Talk:Erastus Corning 2nd

message: There seems to be conflicing information on how many years Corning was mayor. The Albany County biography says he was elected in 1941. Since inaugurations are held on January 1 after the election, this would indicate that he took office in 1942 and was hence mayor for 41 years. This is cooborated by the Political Graveyard, which says he was mayor from 1942-1983. However, the list of mayors says that his term started in 1941, which would mean that he was mayor for 42 years. Paul Grondahl's book (and its review on Amazon.com) also state that he was mayor for 42 years. This situation is complicated by the fact that Frank Harris served as mayor in 1944-45 during Corning's military service. So, what should we say in Wikipedia articles? Some articles have said 41, some have said 42, and others have said "over 40." Articles this impacts include Erastus Corning 2nd, List of mayors of Albany, New York, Albany, New York, and Erastus Corning Tower. --Albany NY 04:16, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As I stated in the discussion on the list of mayors of Albany, New York page-  the acting mayor Frank Harris should not be counted as serving a term as mayor, he was ACTING mayor for a reason.  Congress passed a law allowing mayors to serve in the military without losing their position, so as far as Congress was concerned Corning continued as mayor and was still referred to as such.  Just as when a President or Governor goes under for surgery and the lt governor or vice president becomes acting president/acting governor we dont go adding them to the lists of that office each and every time.  Camelbinky 03:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

text: To have at the bottom of the page that he was succeeded by Frank Harris and then succeeded Frank Harris to be mayor again is wrong. Frank Harris was only an acting-mayor while Corning was in the military, Corning was still the mayor at the time, he never lost the post, as I mentioned before it was a federal law designed to encourage politicians to not avoid the draft and to stir up cities to be patriotic.Camelbinky (talk) 12:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

message: ISTR reading somewhere that "school" developed from an O.F. word "Escole" in this way, but I can find no reference. Anyone know? Grutness...wha? 01:01, 13 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, but escole developed from Latin schola via prothesis, so it's possible the English word was influenced by the Latin original. A better example would be Latin Hispania > Old French Espaigne (or something) > English Spain or Latin historia > O.F. estorie > English story. However, even here there are apheretic variants Spania and storia in Late Latin (cf. modern Italian Spagna and storia), so maybe it's clearer to use Late Latin rather than English as a clear example of apheresis. +Angr 05:37, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Personal information

message: I am a tad confused about the wording of this proposal. It is included that  Personal information can include, but is not limited to names, birthdays, telephone numbers, and social security numbers. I agree whole heartedly with the telephones, social security number and I would add personal/home addresses to the list. However, names & birthdays? I'm mostly thinking in terms of articles about celebrities and listing there original name and birth date. A celebrity could argue that such information is hurtful to their career "image"--like knowing their true age. I'm certainly not advocating a Wiki-Paparazzi, but I do think such information (provided it's verifiable as you noted) do offer value to an article that doesn't cross a personal information/potential damage line.Agne27 05:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
