Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wiki Syntax

message: I just went over some of the triple quote items, and a lot of them are missing quotes in the  template. What seems to happen is that the fields are bolded by the template itself. However, sometimes someone wants to give further information about the person in the field that should not be bolded. So people have been added closing triple quotes, which are being found as errors because the opening quotes come from the template. (Of course, there really is an error: the original closing quotes in the template become opening quotes without closing quotes.) I've been fixing these by adding   to the end of the field. (See  for an exmaple of this.) The   is because otherwise transclusion yields a string of six quotes which the wiki parser does not interpret as wanted, and the fields seem to have extreme whitespace characters truncated, so we have to use this.
Anyway, I'd like to encourage everyone to use this solution. If anybody thinks of another way to handle this that might be better, please mention it here. Eric119 05:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Eek, what a complicated mess the page authors have created! Hmmm... so to recap, the succession box authors have tried to be helpful by opening and closing the bolding, but the users have overridden that to close the bolding in order to have plain or italics text after the person's name - except they have stuffed it up, in that they haven't then closed their overidding, which means that the quotes are unbalanced. Given this, I don't know what else can be done other than what you have done; Maybe it would be marginally better if they had two succession box templates - one that works like the current one, and one that takes an extra argument for the stuff that the user wants in plain text or italics, which is just printed as-is on a new line after the name without any extra formatting. Then again, it might not be worth it, I'm honestly not sure. -- All the best, Nickj (t) 04:53, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

message: shouldn't Trindon Holiday be listed under special teams as "return specialist" since he doesn't actually play wide receiver? IIRC, he only had like 6 receptions in college and was used at WR probably only on about 20 plays his entire career. I'm doubting he'll suddenly become a WR now that he's in the NFL. Even though the Texans website lists him at WR, would they really put a 5 foot 5 150 lb guy at WR? RF23 (talk) 21:42, 28 April 2010 (UTC)

text: I Think it would make more sense to clarify between a WR or RB or whatever who happens to return kicks and a guy who just returns kicks. Or maybe it could be done similar to how the AFL roster templates are, where if a player plays more than one position, they are listed under "Multiple positions", but actually- that wouldn't work as well since not many NFL players play more than 1 position- unlike the AFL.

Talk:Melanoma

message: Hello  
I wanted to reach out regarding your recent edit on the Melanoma page. I noticed that you reverted my edit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Melanoma&oldid=prev&diff=1199500250 where I fixed an error. I just wanted to provide some additional arguments for why my edit should be considered.
Firstly, when the display-authors limitation is set in the main template "cs1 config", as it is on this page, it automatically applies to all citations on the page. This means that there is no need to set it again in each individual citation. In fact, doing so can cause issues and result in the page being placed in the "CS1 maint: overridden setting" category. My edit fixed this problem and removed the page from this category.
Furthermore, the page already has the "" setting in place. If there is a duplicate of this setting in each individual "" or at least one "", it will also result in the page being placed in the "CS1 maint: overridden setting" category. My edit ensured that there were no duplicates and removed the page from this category.
Overall, my edit was made with the intention of improving the page and ensuring that it adheres to Wikipedia's guidelines. I kindly ask that you consider restoring my edit.
Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

message: The article has been moved from :Category:Defunct record labels to :Category:Record labels disestablished in 2001.  However, while the Caravan of Dreams closed in 2001, the record label ceased  much earlier. Unfortunately, I can't provide an exact year, and even an approximation (e.g., no later than 1992) would be based on personal knowledge (i.e. original research).  I can tell you that by the mid- to late-1990s, Caravan of Dreams albums such as Ornette Coleman's In All Languages along with several Ronald Shannon Jackson records had been re-issued by Verve and Knitting Factory, respectively.  It is safe to say that the record label ended before, and not during, 2001.  So, I will move this back to the more general category. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 02:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

message: This page could use a good image
Benklaasen says: "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged into Vajra.". I don't think that's a good idea; a dorje is a physical object, and as such merits its own page in wikipedia.
:However, the same physical object was orginally called a vajra in Sanskrit - dorje is simply the Tibetan name of the same physical object. The historical background to the name and symbolism of the object are in the Vajra article. For example, the tradition in which the object itself is used is Vajrayana, not Dorjeyana. -Ekajati 16:39, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Forney, Texas

message: I believe that the religion section should be removed as it is comprised of a single sentence with no references and makes mention of only a single religion. It's a list of local churches. No other city pages for Kaufman county have a single sentence with its own section, especially one stating that they're a Christian city made up of Christian churches which could naturally be assumed. The information could be integrated somewhere else in the article. A whole sub-section is poor form unless there is more information that can be added.
On that note, the education section could be expanded. Such as adding the fact that the public library for the town is currently also the High School Library. This confuses visitors as well as new residents.Sovietsoldat (talk) 10:21, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

message: I stumbled on this article, and made some edits to achieve NPOV. In particular "rhetorical sleight-of-hand" is probably POV -- and unnecessary; readers can judge for themselves as the next paragraph is a quotation.
In my opinion the facts of the matter which lead to contention are these: (A) some people pay no income tax. (B) These people pay other taxes which are often significant. The original Journal article, and subsequent articles on the phenomenon, assert both (A) and not-(B) ("...Workers who pay little or no taxes...", and saying that 4% of income to income taxes implies 4% of income to taxes, both quoted in the article.)
The article covers lots of ground and is currently very good IMO.
