Hi, Mr. Stradivarius. You're name is listed at Wikipedia:Translators available#Japanese-to-English. So I want to know if you have free time to help with a translation or if you are busy. There's a six-page interview in the book Guilty Gear Complete Bible Game Guide (公式攻略ファンブック ギルティ・ギア コンプリートバイブル) I would like to have translated. I have its scans, but I can also indicate a site to download it. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji ( talk) 01:58, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Hm, maybe I became a pain in the neck (I assume it because you're not replying my messages). But I'll try again. And, to facilitate your decision here are the images: [1], [2], [3]. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji ( talk) 16:44, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
Hey, hey I'm here again. :/ Not sure if you can help me but it is a quite more shorter this time.
From http://web.archive.org/web/20101129203132/http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/bartender/: 中川慎子プロデューサー コメント
マイガールの等身大の悩める青年から一転…、今回相葉さんには、ひたすらに!真っ直ぐに!自分の道を追い求める天才バーテンダーになっていただきます。 主人公・佐々倉溜は一言で言えば『絶対に裏切らない男』。
バーテンダーとしての技術はもちろん、お客の想いに必ず応えることを生きる糧にしている青年。
そんなところがライブなど様々なシーンで、ちぎれるぐらいに手をふってファンの皆さんの想いに精一杯応えようとする相葉さんの姿に重なりました。
自分が傷むことを厭わず、相手のためにやり遂げる、そんな相葉さんの熱さや真っ直ぐさが溜の吸引力につながっていくと確信しています。
Is that anything useful for Bartender (manga), especifically for the "Drama" subheader? Gabriel Yuji ( talk) 03:13, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Comment from Shinko Nakagawa:
This time Aihara-san will have a completely different role from the unexceptional, worried young man he played in "My Girl". He will play the part of a man who has dedicated himself to becoming a genius bartender, and he is determined not to let anything stand in his way. I would describe the main character, Ryū Sasakura, as a man who would never betray anyone.
It goes without saying that his bartending skills are top-notch. But he also also never fails to think of his customers' wants and needs; that is one of the principles that he lives by.
You can see that part of his character when he does live performances, and in many other situations besides. He always tries his very best for his fans, some of whom wave their hands at him so hard that it looks like they might fall off.
I'm confident that Aihara-san's passion and tenacity - his not being afraid to be hurt, and his always going the extra mile for others - will make Ryū a truly absorbing character.
Hey, it's me. A shorter one this time: "1970年に発表した『敗走記』がきっかけとなり、その3年後の1973年に書き下ろし作品として発表". I understood it was published as a novel in 1973 but what happened in 1970? Thanks in advance. Cheers, Gabriel Yuji ( talk) 19:27, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
I'm trying to learn Lua, and thought I might try to convert {{ UND}} to Lua.
My feeble initial steps are at:
https://test2.wikipedia.org/wiki/Module:Sandbox/Sphilbrick/UNDtest
My original, and main question is that I do not see how to get files, such as File:Yes check.svg included as part of the output. I'm sure it can be done, but I don't see the discussion in the manual
While working on this, it looks like it is going to be pretty ugly if all the text is in the table itself.
Is that the right way to do it, or should the text be in a separate file that gets read in?-- S Philbrick (Talk) 17:41, 19 July 2014 (UTC)
{{#invoke:Sandbox/Sphilbrick/UNDtest|response|u}}

♪ talk ♪ 01:27, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
Yep, that's a better way of doing it. I've standardised the indentation so that it's easier to see where the p.response function starts and ends. I've also put the key in lower case, so that you don't have to worry about matching both "afd" and "AFD", for example. And I've given an example of how you can use concatenation to make the code more readable - it's probably better to live with the slight overhead that concatenation causes in order to stop people having to scroll horizontally to read the response text. If you want to make that even more efficient, you could use mw.loadData to load the response strings from a submodule. That would mean that the concatenation would be done once per page, rather than once per #invoke. The only problem with that is that you can't substitute in variables directly with mw.loadData, because the data has to be the same for all the #invokes on a page. To solve that, you could do something like this:
-- In the data module:
return {
afd = 'the afd page is [[$1]]',
a = 'the userlocation is $2',
...
}
-- In the main module:
local data = mw.loadData('Module:Data module')
local response = datakey
response = mw.message.newRawMessage(response):params(afdpage, userlocation):plain() -- substitute the $1, $2 etc. parameters
return response
But, as I said, there is more than one way to do it. :) — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 05:08, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

The reason why I haven't become an admin is because one time I read on this site you have to be 18 to be an admin. I can't find it anymore but I remember seeing it.

A formal LOCK has been placed on the website which contains erroneous data which I did not place. This needs to be undone, as it is a manipulation of control in regards to the historical context being discussed.
The entry that was done in the talk section was not done by myself. That is merely another editor obviously getting involved. One entry, by merely one individual, on a topic that is clearly sensitive to many, should not be abused in this manner. This discussion of Consensus cannot be resolved in an immediate fashion, or overnight without all parties coming to a conclusive agreement on exactly what should be said.
These accounts are taking control of a topic in an abusive way without abiding by policy and are stating policy without actually reading/abiding/understanding the policies they claim in their statements.
My edit, that contains fact as opposed to the erroneous data that existed, should not be removed and tossed aside in favor of the erroneous data.
Something at an Administrative level needs to be done about this. Editors that are not involved in the discussion, that have an established editing practice on other pages need to involved in a neutral manner with the data provided. M wikifacts ( talk) 13:33, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Just thought I'd bring this to your attention: While a lot of the banners that have taskfroces assess the quality on the same scale as the parent project. Some are a bit more complex. For example Template:WikiProject Trains has a custom class mask for the parent.

I believe the sentence about Zoe Quinn being harassed on the Zoe Quinn page should include the word "allegedly", as there seems to be no evidence that she was harassed. The closest thing to evidence she provided was a screen cap of two mean spirited comments about her made by anonymous users on some message board. However, the comments were about her, but not directed at her. So, while not flattering, they do not qualify as "harassment." If I were to go on a message board and post that Bill Gates is a douche bag, you would not say that I was harassing Bill Gates. In order to harass Bill Gates, I would have to actually contact him and call him a douche bag. Simply stating my opinion that he's a douche bag on a forum not directed at him, and that he isn't required to read, does not constitute "harassment."
As for the harassing phone calls that Quinn claims to have received, I can find no evidence for this whatsoever other than her word for it. She may or may not have received harassing phone calls, but, unless there is proof that she did, it's important to clarify that this is only an allegation.
This is why I believe that the sentence on the Zoe Quinn page that reads "In attempting to publish the game through Steam's Greenlight service, Quinn was the target of harassment both online and through sexually explicit phone calls." should be changed to say "In attempting to publish the game through Steam's Greenlight service, Quinn was ALLEGEDLY the target of harassment both online and through sexually explicit phone calls." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephf5 ( talk • contribs) 06:19, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
My name is Antonin and I am a bottom-liner with Occupy Toronto. I came across your name while reading the Talk page for Zoe Quinn. You seemed to know a lot about WP's protocols and standards.
I've been concerned for quite a while about the WP entry for Occupy Toronto and its accuracy. Just looking at the sources and citations, they don't seem to adhere to the type of standards you listed in the ZQ talk page. It's also missing tons of legit and verifiable sources like The Toronto Star, CBC, NOW Magazine, and many more.
I was wondering if at some point in the future (there's really no rush) you might help bring some depth and accuracy to the OT page.
I would of course be happy to help out but, full disclosure, I am a biased source. I lived at Occupy Toronto for 40 days and nights and I am still committed to the movement. If you Google "Antonin occupy toronto" you should get a pretty thorough idea of who I am and my level of involvement.
To be extra clear: I am not looking to make myself or anyone else look good. I would just like the page to be accurate and in keeping with Wikipedia's standards, for better or worse.
I can be reached at occupytofood@gmail.com. Thanks for your time.

I noticed you removed a section on Talk:Zoe Quinn under
WP:BLPTALK. However, BLPTALK specifically excludes content that is relating to content choices. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced and not related to making content choices should be removed, deleted, or oversighted, as appropriate.

I noticed that you refused to author a change to this article despite the fact a RFC section was conducted with the majority of the contributors were in favour of a change. I know the RFC is very very long with the main instigators being Keysanger and Eddy. However if you look at the contributions of user User:Eduardo Eddy Ramirez you will notice that this user is merely a single purpose account which attacks Keysanger on the article. That’s all this account has done and it’s possible that this user might be a sock-puppet. Furthermore the contiguous paragraph which the RFC aims to change uses a citation that links to a Biography of a famous Chilean Romance novelist which by no means is a history book or a valid source for this article. However User:Darkness Shines uses a large chunk of the RFC to defend this citation as legitimate. With the information I have given you I would very much like for you to change your view on this issue or even refer this matter to another administrator. Furthermore please look into the actions of user User:Eduardo Eddy Ramirez.

Hello, MS.

Hi, I saw you leave a comment on one of the pages I left a message on -- I'd appreciate a bit of guidance on how to decide if something merits an article or if it is better to merge. For the instance I am interested in, there's been a historical event where during a military operation to occupy a strip of land -- this lasted a couple weeks or so (I actually haven't checked the exact time frame yet). Anyway, there were acts of retribution. Unwarranted violence in exchange for unwarranted violence. Two localities are mentioned as places where such killings occurred. One historian scholar source was examined and found to lump all such killings into a single paragraph, mentioning the two localities (few days apart) with a joint number of casualties for the two. I believe the counter claim against merger, that the killings are written to have occurred a few days apart -- does not warrant two separate, yet pretty much identical articles. I'd appreciate your guidance on how Wikipedia deals with this matter. Regards. MarciulionisHOF ( talk) 20:38, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
I want to thank you for efforts to direct me in the right path. I have opened at WP:RSN and there appears to be clear consensus against using the comic-book in neutral voice of history.

Hi, "Editor B" chiming in here. MarculionisHOF, If different editors, based on different episodes, reach independently the same conclusion about some of your edits, then perhaps the problem is more with your edits (or the way you express things) than with those editors. For the record, "editor-B" (me) does know the difference between Palestininas and the Palestinian muqawama, but they fail to see where you make that distinction in your statement on your user page. Please don't spread incorrect information about other editors. As for the RSN discussion, it is quite clear that most of the early comments were incorrectly informed by your biased presentation of the situation, with one of the commenters dismissing the book it because he believed the source to be a novel, when it is clearly a work of non-fiction. In the discussion, multiple editors (including me, but also Kingsindian, GRuban and Nishidani) believe that it should be treated as a source, not the only source, perhaps not a completely neutral source, but not as just a comic that can be mentioned in a "in popular culture" section (your suggestion). There is no "clear consensus against using the comic-book in neutral voice of history." There is consensus that it should be balanced with other sources. Fram ( talk) 09:44, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

@ Mr. Stradivarius:, yes. There is a clear goal (no sanctions involved). As I explained to admin Bishonen here, I hope to have a quick way of dissolving situations where editors with less than perfect knowledge on the topic matter (myself included) make bad-faith assumptions, followed by allegations towards me (i.e. allegations that I am doing something with intent to smear Palestinians as antisemitic, which would certainly be outside the scope of the project). These allegations are misguided and a violation of WP:ARBPIA#Decorum. Editors should stick to content, not perceived intentions. MarciulionisHOF ( talk) 12:30, 2 October 2014 (UTC)
Hey, sorry to bother you with this, but you're the most recent editor of {{ Subject bar}} and template talk pages are often undersubscribed. I was looking at Radium in the mobile view and I noticed that the subject bar template doesn't render. It looks like the mobile CSS suppresses navboxes and because the subject bar declares itself to be a navbox, it won't show up. That sort of sucks for pages which use it in the "see also" section, because you get an empty section on mobile. To be clear I don't think this is your fault or that your change had anything to do with this (maybe it did, I didn't look :) ). I just figured I'd give someone a heads up who might know/care about it. Thanks. Protonk ( talk) 14:07, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

It appears we have a full-scale copyvio problem in List of DOS commands article. The entire article and all its revisions are the problem and what is not the result of copy & paste cannot survive a WP:CSD#G1 deletion on its own.
The problem is that the source from which the copyright violation has occurred is not on the web, but the documentation pages of MS-DOS and PC-DOS, so I can't use {{ Db-g12}}. I've taken screenshots of these pages on MS-DOS 6.22 and made them available for your perusal: [10]

Hi,
I have been involved/helped a user with developing tables (mainly league) but also group stage tables, when I now came across your module Module:League table. I looked to see where it was used and saw it was never used (created about a year ago), but it was linked to from an old discussion at your talkpage archieve and at Village Pump archive and then I remembered you came with idea of LUA table. That never happened (at least I thought so) and an other solution with switches was implemented instead to only display a part of a table for club season articles.
For some time ago after several league table discussions at football project an other user @ CRwikiCA: started creating an other LUA module at Module:Football table (now moved to Module:Sports table). It has been a lot of work and we have taken it to the football project on several occasions for consensus regarding layout and such. Now it is currently rated alpha and tested at some articles before taking it to footy for consensus to put into wider use.
Thought I should inform you since you seem to have good knowledge in LUA and has also started to implement a table-module. Perhaps the pages should be merged or something? And with your knowledge of LUA feel free to look at the code and see how it looks.

i can see you have never taught in a japanese university.... the grading system is s (90 and above) a (80-89) b (70-79) c (60-69) d (under 60- failure)
there are other classifications, e not enough information to give a grade and never came to class (i need to check my grade sheets later to tell you exactly what is written)...
also, there are two ways I have experienced to give grades. one is a number, so the actual average is registered and the other is entering the letter grade, so regardless of an 89 or 80 point average, both students receive the same grade.
my students recently told me no student fails in grade school (is held back a grade) or can skip a grade (if tested superior).... (which is why I was researching this point)....
there are some universities giving a grade by academic year and not by semester.

Is that anything useful for Bartender (manga), especifically for the "Drama" subheader? Gabriel Yuji ( talk) 03:13, 7 July 2014 (UTC)
Comment from Shinko Nakagawa:
This time Aihara-san will have a completely different role from the unexceptional, worried young man he played in "My Girl". He will play the part of a man who has dedicated himself to becoming a genius bartender, and he is determined not to let anything stand in his way. I would describe the main character, Ryū Sasakura, as a man who would never betray anyone.
It goes without saying that his bartending skills are top-notch. But he also also never fails to think of his customers' wants and needs; that is one of the principles that he lives by.
You can see that part of his character when he does live performances, and in many other situations besides. He always tries his very best for his fans, some of whom wave their hands at him so hard that it looks like they might fall off.
I'm confident that Aihara-san's passion and tenacity - his not being afraid to be hurt, and his always going the extra mile for others - will make Ryū a truly absorbing character.

I'm trying to learn Lua, and thought I might try to convert {{ UND}} to Lua.
My feeble initial steps are at:

My original, and main question is that I do not see how to get files, such as File:Yes check.svg included as part of the output. I'm sure it can be done, but I don't see the discussion in the manual
While working on this, it looks like it is going to be pretty ugly if all the text is in the table itself.

Yep, that's a better way of doing it. I've standardised the indentation so that it's easier to see where the p.response function starts and ends. I've also put the key in lower case, so that you don't have to worry about matching both "afd" and "AFD", for example. And I've given an example of how you can use concatenation to make the code more readable - it's probably better to live with the slight overhead that concatenation causes in order to stop people having to scroll horizontally to read the response text. If you want to make that even more efficient, you could use mw.loadData to load the response strings from a submodule. That would mean that the concatenation would be done once per page, rather than once per #invoke. The only problem with that is that you can't substitute in variables directly with mw.loadData, because the data has to be the same for all the #invokes on a page. To solve that, you could do something like this:
-- In the data module:
return {
afd = 'the afd page is [[$1]]',
a = 'the userlocation is $2',
...
}
-- In the main module:
local data = mw.loadData('Module:Data module')
local response = datakey
response = mw.message.newRawMessage(response):params(afdpage, userlocation):plain() -- substitute the $1, $2 etc. parameters
return response
But, as I said, there is more than one way to do it. :) — Mr. Stradivarius ♪ talk ♪ 05:08, 21 July 2014 (UTC)

A formal LOCK has been placed on the website which contains erroneous data which I did not place. This needs to be undone, as it is a manipulation of control in regards to the historical context being discussed.
The entry that was done in the talk section was not done by myself. That is merely another editor obviously getting involved. One entry, by merely one individual, on a topic that is clearly sensitive to many, should not be abused in this manner. This discussion of Consensus cannot be resolved in an immediate fashion, or overnight without all parties coming to a conclusive agreement on exactly what should be said.
These accounts are taking control of a topic in an abusive way without abiding by policy and are stating policy without actually reading/abiding/understanding the policies they claim in their statements.
My edit, that contains fact as opposed to the erroneous data that existed, should not be removed and tossed aside in favor of the erroneous data.
Something at an Administrative level needs to be done about this. Editors that are not involved in the discussion, that have an established editing practice on other pages need to involved in a neutral manner with the data provided. M wikifacts ( talk) 13:33, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

{{pp-move-vandalism}}
would become {{pp|vandalism|action=move}}
. The one existing protection template that cannot be produced with {{
pp}} is {{
pp-move-indef}} - we didn't implement it in the module as all it does is add categories. Also, you can now use {{

Dear Mr. Stradivarius, Thank you for your advice related to my edit request on the EDF Talk page. I believe I have provide the information you requested, albeit a bit delayed.

I believe the sentence about Zoe Quinn being harassed on the Zoe Quinn page should include the word "allegedly", as there seems to be no evidence that she was harassed. The closest thing to evidence she provided was a screen cap of two mean spirited comments about her made by anonymous users on some message board. However, the comments were about her, but not directed at her. So, while not flattering, they do not qualify as "harassment." If I were to go on a message board and post that Bill Gates is a douche bag, you would not say that I was harassing Bill Gates. In order to harass Bill Gates, I would have to actually contact him and call him a douche bag. Simply stating my opinion that he's a douche bag on a forum not directed at him, and that he isn't required to read, does not constitute "harassment."
As for the harassing phone calls that Quinn claims to have received, I can find no evidence for this whatsoever other than her word for it. She may or may not have received harassing phone calls, but, unless there is proof that she did, it's important to clarify that this is only an allegation.
This is why I believe that the sentence on the Zoe Quinn page that reads "In attempting to publish the game through Steam's Greenlight service, Quinn was the target of harassment both online and through sexually explicit phone calls." should be changed to say "In attempting to publish the game through Steam's Greenlight service, Quinn was ALLEGEDLY the target of harassment both online and through sexually explicit phone calls." — Preceding unsigned comment added by Josephf5 ( talk • contribs) 06:19, 19 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello,
My name is Antonin and I am a bottom-liner with Occupy Toronto. I came across your name while reading the Talk page for Zoe Quinn. You seemed to know a lot about WP's protocols and standards.
I've been concerned for quite a while about the WP entry for Occupy Toronto and its accuracy. Just looking at the sources and citations, they don't seem to adhere to the type of standards you listed in the ZQ talk page. It's also missing tons of legit and verifiable sources like The Toronto Star, CBC, NOW Magazine, and many more.
I was wondering if at some point in the future (there's really no rush) you might help bring some depth and accuracy to the OT page.
I would of course be happy to help out but, full disclosure, I am a biased source. I lived at Occupy Toronto for 40 days and nights and I am still committed to the movement. If you Google "Antonin occupy toronto" you should get a pretty thorough idea of who I am and my level of involvement.
To be extra clear: I am not looking to make myself or anyone else look good. I would just like the page to be accurate and in keeping with Wikipedia's standards, for better or worse.
I can be reached at occupytofood@gmail.com. Thanks for your time.

WP:BLPTALK. However, BLPTALK specifically excludes content that is relating to content choices. Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced and not related to making content choices should be removed, deleted, or oversighted, as appropriate.
Please consider looking over the talk page post and consider whether it was about content choices. If not, then I endorse the removal. If it is, then I would support its addendum back on the talk page.

I noticed that you refused to author a change to this article despite the fact a RFC section was conducted with the majority of the contributors were in favour of a change. I know the RFC is very very long with the main instigators being Keysanger and Eddy. However if you look at the contributions of user User:Eduardo Eddy Ramirez you will notice that this user is merely a single purpose account which attacks Keysanger on the article. That’s all this account has done and it’s possible that this user might be a sock-puppet. Furthermore the contiguous paragraph which the RFC aims to change uses a citation that links to a Biography of a famous Chilean Romance novelist which by no means is a history book or a valid source for this article. However User:Darkness Shines uses a large chunk of the RFC to defend this citation as legitimate. With the information I have given you I would very much like for you to change your view on this issue or even refer this matter to another administrator. Furthermore please look into the actions of user User:Eduardo Eddy Ramirez. I will not name the editor but user Eddy resembles a current editor which has been topic banned indefinitely on Latin American history in addition considers Darkness Shines a "friend". 202.67.124.213 ( talk) 10:12, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you leave a comment on one of the pages I left a message on -- I'd appreciate a bit of guidance on how to decide if something merits an article or if it is better to merge. For the instance I am interested in, there's been a historical event where during a military operation to occupy a strip of land -- this lasted a couple weeks or so (I actually haven't checked the exact time frame yet). Anyway, there were acts of retribution. Unwarranted violence in exchange for unwarranted violence. Two localities are mentioned as places where such killings occurred. One historian scholar source was examined and found to lump all such killings into a single paragraph, mentioning the two localities (few days apart) with a joint number of casualties for the two. I believe the counter claim against merger, that the killings are written to have occurred a few days apart -- does not warrant two separate, yet pretty much identical articles. I'd appreciate your guidance on how Wikipedia deals with this matter. Regards. MarciulionisHOF ( talk) 20:38, 20 September 2014 (UTC)
I want to thank you for efforts to direct me in the right path. I have opened at WP:RSN and there appears to be clear consensus against using the comic-book in neutral voice of history.

Hi, "Editor B" chiming in here. MarculionisHOF, If different editors, based on different episodes, reach independently the same conclusion about some of your edits, then perhaps the problem is more with your edits (or the way you express things) than with those editors. For the record, "editor-B" (me) does know the difference between Palestininas and the Palestinian muqawama, but they fail to see where you make that distinction in your statement on your user page. Please don't spread incorrect information about other editors. As for the RSN discussion, it is quite clear that most of the early comments were incorrectly informed by your biased presentation of the situation, with one of the commenters dismissing the book it because he believed the source to be a novel, when it is clearly a work of non-fiction. In the discussion, multiple editors (including me, but also Kingsindian, GRuban and Nishidani) believe that it should be treated as a source, not the only source, perhaps not a completely neutral source, but not as just a comic that can be mentioned in a "in popular culture" section (your suggestion). There is no "clear consensus against using the comic-book in neutral voice of history." There is consensus that it should be balanced with other sources. Fram ( talk) 09:44, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, sorry to bother you with this, but you're the most recent editor of {{ Subject bar}} and template talk pages are often undersubscribed. I was looking at Radium in the mobile view and I noticed that the subject bar template doesn't render. It looks like the mobile CSS suppresses navboxes and because the subject bar declares itself to be a navbox, it won't show up. That sort of sucks for pages which use it in the "see also" section, because you get an empty section on mobile. To be clear I don't think this is your fault or that your change had anything to do with this (maybe it did, I didn't look :) ).

Hi,
I have been involved/helped a user with developing tables (mainly league) but also group stage tables, when I now came across your module Module:League table. I looked to see where it was used and saw it was never used (created about a year ago), but it was linked to from an old discussion at your talkpage archieve and at Village Pump archive and then I remembered you came with idea of LUA table. That never happened (at least I thought so) and an other solution with switches was implemented instead to only display a part of a table for club season articles.
For some time ago after several league table discussions at football project an other user @ CRwikiCA: started creating an other LUA module at Module:Football table (now moved to Module:Sports table). It has been a lot of work and we have taken it to the football project on several occasions for consensus regarding layout and such. Now it is currently rated alpha and tested at some articles before taking it to footy for consensus to put into wider use.
Thought I should inform you since you seem to have good knowledge in LUA and has also started to implement a table-module. Perhaps the pages should be merged or something? And with your knowledge of LUA feel free to look at the code and see how it looks.

Hello again: Is it possible to use the templates that call modules to reassign parameters before passing them onto the modules – i.e. if, for example, {{ hlist}} was used as {{hlist |itemstyle=(styling) |item1 |item2 |etc}}, it would pass the itemstyle to Module:List as item_style..?

For doing tricky CSS fixing in {{ Infobox}}, you deserve some pie! — hike395 ( talk) 04:04, 1 November 2014 (UTC) |
i can see you have never taught in a japanese university.... the grading system is s (90 and above) a (80-89) b (70-79) c (60-69) d (under 60- failure)
there are other classifications, e not enough information to give a grade and never came to class (i need to check my grade sheets later to tell you exactly what is written)...
also, there are two ways I have experienced to give grades. one is a number, so the actual average is registered and the other is entering the letter grade, so regardless of an 89 or 80 point average, both students receive the same grade.
my students recently told me no student fails in grade school (is held back a grade) or can skip a grade (if tested superior).... (which is why I was researching this point)....
there are some universities giving a grade by academic year and not by semester.
if you have any questions, feel free to ask. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 126.254.74.143 ( talk) 13:52, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
Hey Strad, I hate to bother you, but in your opinion, was my behavior at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Jackmcbarn poor? Because fellow editors have accused me of "badgering" and "lambasting". Today I expressed my commitment to stop arguing completely at RfA. I feel like others do the same as me, but don't get the accusations I do. I just feel discouraged. I don't want to leave WP, but I just feel like everywhere there are people who misunderstand (and after the discussion, possibly despise) me for arguing. Is there anything wrong with just arguing? Anything I should change about what I say? Thanks, -- AmaryllisGardener talk 21:22, 11 November 2014 (UTC)
