Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
I notice you are in the middle of an edit war, and on the edge of 3RR and the inevitable block that will follow. It doesn't take a 4th revert in 24h to block, so I strongly suggest you refrain from reverting and try to just cover the dispute on the talk page for now. As you are 3 edits into 3RR, you have to consider this a final warning. Hopefully, you guys will just work it out without the need for a block. Thanks.

Hi DePiep. You recently made this change to the article Wars involving Israel, claiming that using blue instead of grey qualifies as POV-pushing. It is, however, normal to use color from flags or coats of arms in templates related to a specific country. For instance, see Template:Military ranks of Egypt, Template:Sierra Leone Civil War. Based on this, I don't think this constitutes POV-pushing. -- Mikrobølgeovn ( talk) 12:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi DePiep, following your addition of the history section to template:elementbox, I've been slowly adding the discovery details to the elements. You mentioned that I could contact you if I had the need to repeat the "Named by" heading more than a few times. It now seems like it will occur reasonably often so I was hoping you could add the parameters "Named by" and "Named date" to the infobox? - to appear in a single row before the comment row, as shown below:

Can you change the template so that the periodic table of links to the isotope pages is open when the template loads. After being redirected from the deleted page it took me about 1.5 minutes to find and open the link table. Also how about making the default load so that the "Periodic table templates and files" section is closed. Unless you think that most people coming to the template page are looking for that information. I can only speak for myself, but I loved using the " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_to_isotope_pages" as a link to the isotope pages. I feel like I used that over half the time. Of course I and most other people also arrive at an elements isotope page from the link in the isotope section of the main article for that chemical element. See " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium" the section "Isotopes and nucleosynthesis" and also the small table to the right "Most stable isotopes" When people are only looking up nuclear data for several different elements that periodic table in the "Index to Isotope Pages" was useful. It is still there in the template file, but harder to find. Thank you, Darian Jenkins — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.32.175.76 ( talk) 22:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I changed some of the shading at {{ Compact extended periodic table}} and then noticed your edit summary. You said you made the shade lighter for predicted properties. However, the table itself says a lighter shade for "predicted [element]", and that's what I changed it to. Predicted properties is a good idea, but our charts are shaded per whether an element has been discovered or not. (Unless things have changed?) — kwami ( talk) 20:23, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Hey DePiep... Just wanted to tell you the guys aren't that bad. They also think (seem to) be in favor of nice-looking things, but when it goes on the outside. In the inner zone... well, science men are so... their workplace may be trashed... but it's for the best for them as they know where's everything. They probably could organize into something like lettered archive... but it's easier for them to be trashed. You've said it right, they're used with it. It probably isn't the real best way, doesn't show the best of organization. But it's the way they like, they don't care. You are offering an innovation of which they don't see a point. Even if the idealized organization contains it. This is a workplace, and not a showcase anyway. (I'm holding a neutral point... I simply don't care about looks... It's not the point. It don't mean the thing should go trashed... I'm simply fine either way) Think both you and the others could be slightly more polite to the other side... To try at very least to look intellectually above the opponent. It's simply a piece of opinion. Let's just not discuss it...I only want your catfights to stop.
If you're feeling bad about it all... I will help you with an article if you want to write one. Just contact me. (Dunno what more I got to offer)

I deleted it because it was a good example of R2. Mainspace titles should never redirect to userspace titles. Meanwhile, as I told Martin, I believed the mainspace title to be a good candidate for an article at some point, so I left the links in place per the first sentence of WP:REDDEAL. Your idea of taking care of them would have been at variance with the guideline, and because the page is now back at the original title, your idea would have meant either that my edits would need reversion or that the page would be orphaned.

Absolutely take care of the | pipe after the param-name (otherwise the if-logic acts different). Eg. Armeniamn is added to the cat because it has param protoname= used. Adding to the documentation?

I'm sorry if the way I have dealt with this seems a bit heavy-handed, but having spent two days trying (and very nearly failing) to convince folks at WP:ITNC that we should post Hillsborough, I'm running on a bit of a short fuse. In the long term, I do think there should be an article on the Independent Panel, as I noted in my original edit summary. But this is not a usual stub situation, because there is already a well-developed summary of the panel's work within the Hillsborough article. Therefore, while the panel should have their own article one day, it shouldn't be created until there is enough content to significantly expand upon what could reasonably be included at the disaster article. In the meantime the best way to inform the reader is to send them to that section. I am certainly not contesting the panel's notability. Hope that helps. — WFC— FL wishlist 21:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi DePiep, you recently removed a deletion tag from Hillsborough Independent Panel. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted.

Your apology is more than accepted. I also admit I was a little (too) rough with the F bomb. I do not mean the picture I use for my page as an attack on good editors such as yourself IN ANY WAY (which I also saw later that you were a good sincere editor) and my apologies if you construed it as aggression. I use it to deter vandalism on my page (especially with them vandalizing it after I reverted hundreds of their edits in a row with stiki at one time), and it is specifically aimed toward those who do such. I had to have my page protected by Ged UK because of the vandalism it was getting.

I want to compliment you on your effort to correct the presentation of the Janet periodic table in a format that best represents the organization of the succession of accumulation processes that resulted in the creation of the atomic nuclei. You have also helped greatly to better understand the significant differences between it and the IUPAC table. I would also like to call to your attention a feature that can be shown in the Janet table that relates to the nuclear structure in that it further subdivides the element groups into smaller 2 element and 4 element subdivisions in accordance with my contribution on this subject matter in the article Talk:Charles Janet. This noted grouping organization process further indicates the existence of an organized process of nucleon accumulation as being in action during these chaotic atomic building periods. The subdivisions of the groups is also related to structural features of the atomic nuclei. WFPM ( talk) 00:08, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello DePiep. Could you try to get the {{ NavPeriodicTable}} to use "." for the superactinides that are ripped out of the main table instead of ".."?

Hi DePiep, you recently reworked the Graphics Lab header area. Fine job by the way. I take issue with a minor aspect however... the width of 80%. It seems unnecessary and at lower browser resolutions it causes the Eight Requests to bunch up. I can only guess that you did this so that the header stands out from the rest of the page a little, but I think it would be better at 95% or so. I would have taken the liberty of going through and making the changes myself, but out of courtesy figured I'd run it by you first. And seeing as you're the one who put it together, you would be more qualified than I to make the change... if you so agreed of course. – JBarta ( talk) 17:09, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
I set it to 80% because most of these pageheader boxes are 80%. See random this and this. This way the whoile column of boxes lines nice. Note that we cannot (easily) change the basic note bar width: that will stay 80%. So we'll get headers like this. I think there is a general idea about these pageheaders. On the other hand, the GL pages are not talkpages. That's all I know. I suggest you just try the 100% width, and see & hear the effect. You'll remember how chaotic the GL pages were a month ago, so from there everything is an improvement. - DePiep ( talk) 13:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, you seem to have been most active on Template:User iso15924 so I thought I'd come to you first. Out in the wild I'm seeing a lot of this template being used to indicate ability at languages rather than scripts - see User:Kkhemet for an example. I'm no template guru but I imagine it must be possible to test that the parameter1 has only 4 characters and no more or less, and return an error message with a link to the list of official 15924 codes if not? As a secondary thing, it would be good to suppress any categories if the parameter looks faulty, or assign such user pages to a maintenance category, to save people like me having to worry about yet more red-linked categories....

You asked on BabelStone's talk page about Han tu. If you're asking for unicode for the Chữ nho/chữ Hán character set it is just the same as traditional Chinese. In fact it is Chinese. If you mean the local chữ Nôm characters embedded in the Han tu article I'm afraid chữ Nôm is an unusual character set for locally adapted old Vietnamese-made characters that won't display without special font support. If you need any help, clarification, please give me a buzz. In ictu oculi ( talk) 00:41, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Hán tự (old-fashioned term), chữ Hán (modern usage), or just Hán, all refer to traditional Chinese characters, not to a character set peculiar to Vietnam.

I ran into a source that gives a set of distinguishable colors I'd like to use [12] but they're in a " Munsell color system" that is looking like a ridiculous hassle. Apparently in the halcyon days of the Internet these colors were actually colors, that could be understood and readily translated to RGB or any other format by a utility available from the site itself [13] but now they are said to be too ethereal to be known by hand or eye of man without paying money or getting a special time limited demo program, varying from machine to machine according to the gamma factor and who knows what else. There are little bits of shrapnel from people who seem not to have gotten the word [14] but I haven't found anything usable.
I think it would be great if this color convert module you've proposed were set up to handle these. But first I need to know how, and what the big malfunction is that has managed to scramble things so badly. Do you know anything about this? Wnt ( talk) 17:36, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Have one more look: Template:Periodic table (pnictogens)
Wouldn't it be better to shorten the legend by removing the colored boxes from them? Think it's pretty clear anyway what the colors mean.
Think that a shorter legend always equals "better."
Thanks for working on this template. I was going to get to that after I got through all the Unicode blocks (only 32 left!), but I'm glad someone else cares enough to clean it up as I upset the balance. Van Isaac WS Vex contribs 12:52, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
I come up with more ideas. Two for now. Want to know if it's worth doing and doable.
Look at rhenium. Any article will do, this one is a random example. Our element infoboxes are damn big. You have to scroll it so far down to see it end. The reason why I'm writing at all is that, well, it's problematic to add images into the first section, cause the infobox is still in there. Even sometimes the second section is affected. Brrrr. Is it okay? If not, can anything be done against that? Two-column infoboxes? Pop-up sections (like templates in the end of again, rhenium, but also others)? Anything?
Also, look once again at ununseptium. The pics are horrifyingly arranged. I mean, it looks pretty when it's 800x600, but there are people like me who use 1600x900 (say if you don't have access to 1600x900, I'll add some screenshots, they're so easy to make). I actually want to center one image (the island one), but if it's 800x600, it can be only 575 px wide, and when this is turned into 1600x900, there's empty space to the left and to the right from it, just as big as the pic itself. Is it treatable? I'll be fine with anything that makes the pics not so packed.
Sorry if I'm bothering you with the problems too much, you just seem like a Wikidesign god to me, so I help you make the world a little better, these are only those I have no solution for.

Holy crap, it's just gone surreal. JPaestpreornJeolhlna just edited the block article, and it appears correctly. The problem is that the template it trascludes is just a redirect back to the article.

Can you add the reference for the magnetic susceptibility to the Fluorine infobox? I tried doing it with a named ref, but it seemed to make something break (not sure what the rules are).
The ref is currently #23 and is in the section on atomic and molecular structure

DePiep, are you able to create a periodic table template that includes the group names as per, for example, this table? I would like to see what a table including group names would look like in html. If astatine is categorised as a metalloid, and this means losing the halogen category, then the loss is likely to be more palatable if the name of the halogens is still shown somewhere. Then we will have the extra beauty of our interesting colour categories + group names, in one neat table. Sandbh ( talk) 12:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

If you make a screenshot of the SF4 problem, I will look into it. I think you might be talking about a different image (SF4 is not near infobox, but down in compounds...do you mean alpha-fluorine?).

You seem to be behind much of the work related to {{ IPA soundbox}}. I made a rather drastic move by simply removing the parameters that allowed removal of file links, but it needed to be done.
You've done a great job making a lot of templates, but when it comes to sound files, you allowed the templates to edit out links to the audio file, something which should simply never be an available option. I would appreciate if you could help solve it. Have a look at Template talk:IPA soundbox and template talk:Infobox IPA.

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.
I notice you are in the middle of an edit war, and on the edge of 3RR and the inevitable block that will follow. It doesn't take a 4th revert in 24h to block, so I strongly suggest you refrain from reverting and try to just cover the dispute on the talk page for now. As you are 3 edits into 3RR, you have to consider this a final warning. Hopefully, you guys will just work it out without the need for a block. Thanks.

Hi DePiep. You recently made this change to the article Wars involving Israel, claiming that using blue instead of grey qualifies as POV-pushing. It is, however, normal to use color from flags or coats of arms in templates related to a specific country. For instance, see Template:Military ranks of Egypt, Template:Sierra Leone Civil War. Based on this, I don't think this constitutes POV-pushing. -- Mikrobølgeovn ( talk) 12:06, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi DePiep, following your addition of the history section to template:elementbox, I've been slowly adding the discovery details to the elements. You mentioned that I could contact you if I had the need to repeat the "Named by" heading more than a few times. It now seems like it will occur reasonably often so I was hoping you could add the parameters "Named by" and "Named date" to the infobox? - to appear in a single row before the comment row, as shown below:
Prediction: Person (date) Discovery: Person (date) First Isolation: Person (date) **Named by: Person (date)** Comment Label: Comment text

Can you change the template so that the periodic table of links to the isotope pages is open when the template loads. After being redirected from the deleted page it took me about 1.5 minutes to find and open the link table. Also how about making the default load so that the "Periodic table templates and files" section is closed. Unless you think that most people coming to the template page are looking for that information. I can only speak for myself, but I loved using the " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_to_isotope_pages" as a link to the isotope pages. I feel like I used that over half the time. Of course I and most other people also arrive at an elements isotope page from the link in the isotope section of the main article for that chemical element. See " http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beryllium" the section "Isotopes and nucleosynthesis" and also the small table to the right "Most stable isotopes" When people are only looking up nuclear data for several different elements that periodic table in the "Index to Isotope Pages" was useful. It is still there in the template file, but harder to find. Thank you, Darian Jenkins — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.32.175.76 ( talk) 22:47, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

I changed some of the shading at {{ Compact extended periodic table}} and then noticed your edit summary. You said you made the shade lighter for predicted properties. However, the table itself says a lighter shade for "predicted [element]", and that's what I changed it to. Predicted properties is a good idea, but our charts are shaded per whether an element has been discovered or not. (Unless things have changed?) — kwami ( talk) 20:23, 2 August 2012 (UTC)
Hey DePiep... Just wanted to tell you the guys aren't that bad. They also think (seem to) be in favor of nice-looking things, but when it goes on the outside. In the inner zone... well, science men are so... their workplace may be trashed... but it's for the best for them as they know where's everything. They probably could organize into something like lettered archive... but it's easier for them to be trashed. You've said it right, they're used with it. It probably isn't the real best way, doesn't show the best of organization. But it's the way they like, they don't care. You are offering an innovation of which they don't see a point. Even if the idealized organization contains it. This is a workplace, and not a showcase anyway. (I'm holding a neutral point... I simply don't care about looks... It's not the point. It don't mean the thing should go trashed... I'm simply fine either way) Think both you and the others could be slightly more polite to the other side... To try at very least to look intellectually above the opponent. It's simply a piece of opinion. Let's just not discuss it...I only want your catfights to stop.
If you're feeling bad about it all... I will help you with an article if you want to write one. Just contact me. (Dunno what more I got to offer)

I deleted it because it was a good example of R2. Mainspace titles should never redirect to userspace titles. Meanwhile, as I told Martin, I believed the mainspace title to be a good candidate for an article at some point, so I left the links in place per the first sentence of WP:REDDEAL. Your idea of taking care of them would have been at variance with the guideline, and because the page is now back at the original title, your idea would have meant either that my edits would need reversion or that the page would be orphaned.

. In this case: the returned value is the category adding, the 2nd return value (when not input at all) is empty. You can add another param to the list easily I'd say. Absolutely take care of the | pipe after the param-name (otherwise the if-logic acts different). Eg. Armeniamn is added to the cat because it has param protoname= used. Adding to the documentation?

I'm sorry if the way I have dealt with this seems a bit heavy-handed, but having spent two days trying (and very nearly failing) to convince folks at WP:ITNC that we should post Hillsborough, I'm running on a bit of a short fuse. In the long term, I do think there should be an article on the Independent Panel, as I noted in my original edit summary. But this is not a usual stub situation, because there is already a well-developed summary of the panel's work within the Hillsborough article. Therefore, while the panel should have their own article one day, it shouldn't be created until there is enough content to significantly expand upon what could reasonably be included at the disaster article. In the meantime the best way to inform the reader is to send them to that section. I am certainly not contesting the panel's notability. Hope that helps. — WFC— FL wishlist 21:37, 13 September 2012 (UTC)
Hi DePiep, you recently removed a deletion tag from Hillsborough Independent Panel. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove speedy deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the tag. Although the deletion proposal may be incorrect, removing the tag is not the correct way for you to contest the deletion, even if you are more experienced than the nominator. Instead, please use the talk page to explain why the page should not be deleted. Remember to be patient, there is no harm in waiting for another experienced user to review the deletion and judge what the right course of action is.

The current version has a huge mistake I failed to notice any earlier.

The easy way out would be simply saying it is in hartrees, but I'd love you to draw new lines to get an electronvolt picture. Say, with two eV being a difference detween the neighboring lines.

I want to compliment you on your effort to correct the presentation of the Janet periodic table in a format that best represents the organization of the succession of accumulation processes that resulted in the creation of the atomic nuclei. You have also helped greatly to better understand the significant differences between it and the IUPAC table. I would also like to call to your attention a feature that can be shown in the Janet table that relates to the nuclear structure in that it further subdivides the element groups into smaller 2 element and 4 element subdivisions in accordance with my contribution on this subject matter in the article Talk:Charles Janet. This noted grouping organization process further indicates the existence of an organized process of nucleon accumulation as being in action during these chaotic atomic building periods. The subdivisions of the groups is also related to structural features of the atomic nuclei. WFPM ( talk) 00:08, 21 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello DePiep. Could you try to get the {{ NavPeriodicTable}} to use "." for the superactinides that are ripped out of the main table instead of ".."? When changing the periodic table I couldn't figure out how to change it to "." without completely messing up the alignment of the groups. Double sharp ( talk) 14:07, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Care to explain? The change in output was negligible, save for a massive cleanup of the main table (which used dead cells for positioning, something that was discouraged in 1997). Did I miss something? Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) ( talk) 02:07, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

You reverted an edit by Hyperionsteel at MEMRI which, though phrased boldly on his own, did reflect consensus among three editors that the body of criticism within the article should have some representation in lede and not appear, as Roscelese pur it, like "a business directory where everything must appear as promotional as possible". You termed Hyperionsteel's entry "weasel talk". Perhaps once I revert on behalf of the consensus, you can pop by and help us understand your reasoning and create an improved draft. I'd be grateful.

Hi DePiep, you recently reworked the Graphics Lab header area. Fine job by the way. I take issue with a minor aspect however... the width of 80%. It seems unnecessary and at lower browser resolutions it causes the Eight Requests to bunch up. I can only guess that you did this so that the header stands out from the rest of the page a little, but I think it would be better at 95% or so. I would have taken the liberty of going through and making the changes myself, but out of courtesy figured I'd run it by you first. And seeing as you're the one who put it together, you would be more qualified than I to make the change... if you so agreed of course. – JBarta ( talk) 17:09, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
I set it to 80% because most of these pageheader boxes are 80%. See random this and this. This way the whoile column of boxes lines nice. Note that we cannot (easily) change the basic note bar width: that will stay 80%. So we'll get headers like this. I think there is a general idea about these pageheaders. On the other hand, the GL pages are not talkpages. That's all I know. I suggest you just try the 100% width, and see & hear the effect. You'll remember how chaotic the GL pages were a month ago, so from there everything is an improvement. - DePiep ( talk) 13:37, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi, you seem to have been most active on Template:User iso15924 so I thought I'd come to you first. Out in the wild I'm seeing a lot of this template being used to indicate ability at languages rather than scripts - see User:Kkhemet for an example. I'm no template guru but I imagine it must be possible to test that the parameter1 has only 4 characters and no more or less, and return an error message with a link to the list of official 15924 codes if not? As a secondary thing, it would be good to suppress any categories if the parameter looks faulty, or assign such user pages to a maintenance category, to save people like me having to worry about yet more red-linked categories....

You asked on BabelStone's talk page about Han tu. If you're asking for unicode for the Chữ nho/chữ Hán character set it is just the same as traditional Chinese. In fact it is Chinese. If you mean the local chữ Nôm characters embedded in the Han tu article I'm afraid chữ Nôm is an unusual character set for locally adapted old Vietnamese-made characters that won't display without special font support. If you need any help, clarification, please give me a buzz. In ictu oculi ( talk) 00:41, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
Hán tự (old-fashioned term), chữ Hán (modern usage), or just Hán, all refer to traditional Chinese characters, not to a character set peculiar to Vietnam. Nom includes additional characters that are given in CJK Extension B, as explained here. Han-Nom is Han plus Nom. No, you don't need any special downloads. Kauffner ( talk) 14:21, 10 March 2013 (UTC)
I ran into a source that gives a set of distinguishable colors I'd like to use [12] but they're in a " Munsell color system" that is looking like a ridiculous hassle. Apparently in the halcyon days of the Internet these colors were actually colors, that could be understood and readily translated to RGB or any other format by a utility available from the site itself [13] but now they are said to be too ethereal to be known by hand or eye of man without paying money or getting a special time limited demo program, varying from machine to machine according to the gamma factor and who knows what else. There are little bits of shrapnel from people who seem not to have gotten the word [14] but I haven't found anything usable.
I think it would be great if this color convert module you've proposed were set up to handle these. But first I need to know how, and what the big malfunction is that has managed to scramble things so badly. Do you know anything about this? Wnt ( talk) 17:36, 20 March 2013 (UTC)
Have one more look: Template:Periodic table (pnictogens)
Wouldn't it be better to shorten the legend by removing the colored boxes from them? Think it's pretty clear anyway what the colors mean.
Think that a shorter legend always equals "better."
Thanks for working on this template. I was going to get to that after I got through all the Unicode blocks (only 32 left!), but I'm glad someone else cares enough to clean it up as I upset the balance. Van Isaac WS Vex contribs 12:52, 28 March 2013 (UTC)
I come up with more ideas. Two for now. Want to know if it's worth doing and doable.
Look at rhenium. Any article will do, this one is a random example. Our element infoboxes are damn big. You have to scroll it so far down to see it end. The reason why I'm writing at all is that, well, it's problematic to add images into the first section, cause the infobox is still in there. Even sometimes the second section is affected. Brrrr. Is it okay? If not, can anything be done against that? Two-column infoboxes? Pop-up sections (like templates in the end of again, rhenium, but also others)? Anything?
Also, look once again at ununseptium. The pics are horrifyingly arranged. I mean, it looks pretty when it's 800x600, but there are people like me who use 1600x900 (say if you don't have access to 1600x900, I'll add some screenshots, they're so easy to make). I actually want to center one image (the island one), but if it's 800x600, it can be only 575 px wide, and when this is turned into 1600x900, there's empty space to the left and to the right from it, just as big as the pic itself. Is it treatable? I'll be fine with anything that makes the pics not so packed.
Sorry if I'm bothering you with the problems too much, you just seem like a Wikidesign god to me, so I help you make the world a little better, these are only those I have no solution for.

Holy crap, it's just gone surreal. JPaestpreornJeolhlna just edited the block article, and it appears correctly. The problem is that the template it trascludes is just a redirect back to the article. I literally have no idea how this is even possible, and as far as I can tell, the unicode chart information has been pulled out thin air. Van Isaac WS Vex contribs 00:25, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Can you add the reference for the magnetic susceptibility to the Fluorine infobox? I tried doing it with a named ref, but it seemed to make something break (not sure what the rules are).
The ref is currently #23 and is in the section on atomic and molecular structure
"Cheng, H.; Fowler, D. E.; Henderson, P. B.; Hobbs, J. P.; Pascaloni, M. R. (1999). "On the magnetic susceptibility of fluorine". Journal of Physical Chemistry A 103 (15): 2861–2866. doi:10.1021/jp9844720."
DePiep, are you able to create a periodic table template that includes the group names as per, for example, this table? I would like to see what a table including group names would look like in html. If astatine is categorised as a metalloid, and this means losing the halogen category, then the loss is likely to be more palatable if the name of the halogens is still shown somewhere. Then we will have the extra beauty of our interesting colour categories + group names, in one neat table. Sandbh ( talk) 12:26, 16 May 2013 (UTC)
1. First thank you for your good humor and friendliness.
2. What was your concern with the width of SF4 image? (displays fine for me)
3. Can you cut the electron image from the infobox? I am fine with it in general, but in this article, I already have a similar (better) drawing in article text. Plus we have the electron configuration. And it is big. Just ends up being crufty.
(thanks in advance. I appreciate all your tabular tendancies!)

Haha. You are much kinder than the norm on Wiki. It's really not a huge deal. Doesn't bug me that much. I just thought since I already have a large, better image in discussion, like to save the space in the infobox. honest, it does not bug me to keep it though.
If you make a screenshot of the SF4 problem, I will look into it. I think you might be talking about a different image (SF4 is not near infobox, but down in compounds...do you mean alpha-fluorine?). Also, I can't tell if the display is glitching up for you or you just don't like the way I intended it. So screenie please. ;-)

You seem to be behind much of the work related to {{ IPA soundbox}}. I made a rather drastic move by simply removing the parameters that allowed removal of file links, but it needed to be done.
You've done a great job making a lot of templates, but when it comes to sound files, you allowed the templates to edit out links to the audio file, something which should simply never be an available option. I would appreciate if you could help solve it. Have a look at Template talk:IPA soundbox and template talk:Infobox IPA.

For the list, I was advised in a similar thing to use mw.loadData subpage: it loads that table once per page for multi use. Might look like Module:Citation/CS1/Whitelist, but this IPAsym needs a many-to-one structure (the #switch). - DePiep ( talk) 10:04, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I will get in touch with our Outreach task and clarify the copyright status with the Observatory's management. IMHO, we could release it. Nevertheless, I have been scanning a lot of pages of large companies like IBM, Apple, Microsoft etc. and it is unclear to me why the situation shouldn't be the same with my logo I made for the Observatory. It is composed of shapes, text etc. and therefore isn't directly considered as a work of art etc. etc. I also don't see why we would try to restrict its usage (I am a senior member of the Pierre Auger Collaboration) and any guidance on how to properly release it would be most welcome.
