Russian language map in Ukraine

Hey, @ Spesh531~ I noticed that you created the Russian language map in Ukraine used on that respective article. I was wondering if you had a PDF of the 2001 census by any chance. I've tried accessing the census website, but the host seems down for some reason. Thank you! 148.8.132.8 ( talk) 20:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC) reply

I sadly do not have a PDF of the 2001 census. I "made" that map as a translation from the original map in Ukranian. Spesh531 ^{(talk, contrib., ext.)} 00:06, 13 October 2022 (UTC) reply

Thank you for your detailed additions to Timeline of Major League Baseball -- I added the (shockingly overlooked) basics of the Negro leagues last year but I didn't know enough to add anything more than the most sparse of details. Now you've made the article reflect the actual major leagues and not just what we used to think were the major leagues. It's a major contribution! -- Michael Scott Asato Cuthbert (talk) 15:50, 8 March 2023 (UTC) reply

Thanks! It definitely took a bit of research! I had to make up a spreadsheet just to help visually see year to year changes! There were roguhly 60 individual franchises that had to be added. I'm just happy that part of the article is up to date now.

I was messing around with adding the non-NL/AL teams to the timeline at the top (the late 1800s leagues, 1914-15 league and 1920-48 Negro Major leagues) but it turns out the timeline function has a maximum height that can't be breached! Anything more than 2000 pixels and the timeline breaks 🥴. So as much as I also wanted to expand the timeline, though I'm not sure I'll be able to, unless it were split into two tables which... eh I'm less than thrilled at that idea.

Hey, I noticed you created 50 MLB team map templates (such as Template:MLB Team Maps (1966–1967)), but you've not used them on any article. Unused templates eventually get sent to WP:TfD and deleted. Please actually use them where you intended to. Gonnym ( talk) 12:56, 11 March 2024 (UTC) reply

They were being used. I WP:BOLD added them to every MLB season page, until it was reverted. Discussions seemingly died out quickly, as I need to make sandbox's for other users to see how these templates can fit into articles. Spesh531 ^{(talk, contrib., ext.)} 13:52, 11 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Hi there, I made a number of fixes to the File:History of NATO enlargement.svg file on the Commons. I didn't touch the color or bodies of water though, I just went about fixing the validation errors I mentioned before and aligning the years and the year boxes, which hadn't lined up for a while, and had started getting slightly wider in 2009. There were also layers that were unnecessary if just put in a certain order, a remnant of File:Blank map of Europe (with disputed regions).svg. I do have one question, is the lack of a border between East Germany and the rest of Germany intentional or an oversight? I'm happy with it either way, but will fix if it's an oversight. And thanks again for leading the charge to get this to some consensus colors. -- Patrick Neil, _oѺ^∞/Talk 17:31, 18 March 2024 (UTC) reply

That was intentional! A hard border implies West and East Germany are still separate countries (at least it does to me). And thanks for fixing the validation errors (I guess the Blank Map of Europe needs to be re-validated? I'm unsure). And thanks for fixing the years! I had copied it over from a previous version (which one? I don't remember 🙃) and had only slightly adjusted the 3 in 2023, as it was coded differently than every other digit.

And it's no problem!! Spesh531 ^{(talk, contrib., ext.)} 14:15, 19 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Please refrain from adding total runs "tiebreakers" from MLB rivalry results templates. This tiebreaker is not sanctioned by MLB or either team involved in most cases (there are limited exceptions, such as the Lone Star Series which awards a trophy to the winning team including a stipulation for a total runs tiebreaker). This information should only be added with references showing the two specific teams officially recognize this as a tiebreaker. Frank Anchor 18:21, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Just an FYI - a broad consensus was reached a couple years ago that the Federal League standings, stats, etc., do belong on the 1914 and 1915 MLB articles, so it probably needs to be moved back. MLB officially recognizes the Federal League and counts its stats as part of player's MLB career stats. Further discussion here: /info/en/?search=Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Baseball/Archive_48#Federal_League_records_in_the_1914_%26_1915_Major_League_Baseball_season_pages

I like the maps though. I wonder if it makes sense to include the maps side by side above the standings, like on the 2022 article, two maps side by side at the same width. Jhn31 ( talk) 02:05, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Jhn31 Ah, yeah that makes. I'll start a discussion back up. I definitely jumped the gun on that 😅. There's the fact that the seven Negro Major Leagues of 1920–1948 were not a part of the MLB pages, and that MLB's website for the 1914 & 1915 seasons do not show Federal League stats and standings, even though sites such as Baseball Reference do consider those leagues in the same regard as the Federal League. There's recognizing a league as major league tier, and then there's whether it's recognized as a part of the organization known as "Major League Baseball".

Regarding the maps, I originally had the maps side-by-side with standings. I've been recently inspired by the Major League Soccer season pages to have that Teams section (as can be seen in the pre-1925 season pages at the moment) and have the maps next to that. The maps-next-to-standings idea work only pre-1969. Once you get into the division era, it becomes more and more awkward to have the maps next to the standings, especially from 1994–present. Spesh531 ^{(talk, contrib., ext.)} 02:26, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Ah you know what! I see the Federal League is only in the stats on MLB's website but does not have show the Federal League's standings or schedule, while they do not show anything for the 7 Negro Major Leagues. Spesh531 ^{(talk, contrib., ext.)} 02:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Personally, I think every season page should include every league considered to be "Major" by MLB and sites like Baseball Reference but the Wikipedia community of baseball editors has been mostly against bringing the Negro Leagues in for 1920 through 1948 for whatever reason. Jhn31 ( talk) 02:37, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I'm personally of the belief that we should follow one of the two extremes:

• MLB season pages should strictly be for the NL and AL (and in fact, the 1901 & 1902 pages should be separate NL & AL pages à la AFL & NFL 1967–1969 seasons even though Super Bowl I-III took place these seasons), as any proper cooperation between the AL and NL didn't begin until 1903 with the National Agreement.
• All leagues 1876–present that are considered major league should be included on season pages à la baseball-reference.com. Granted, I'd be tempted to make a distinction where any pre-1903 seasons are "1### Major league baseball season", where only the first word is capitalized since the all-caps "Major League Baseball" refers to the proper organization.

To make things even more confusing, MLB celebrates 1869 as the inaugural Major League season (even though its website is only dedicated to go back to 1901), a year that pre-dates even the 1871–1875 NA, which has its major league status in question. I personally like the first extreme, as it has season pages dedicated to leagues as they existed at the time. Spesh531 ^{(talk, contrib., ext.)} 03:09, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I actually had another suggestion for the maps, and this is a bit ticky-tack, but I think the yellow and orange are kinda hard to distinguish. What would you think about using:

• American League
  • Red - single division
  • Violet/Yellow - West/East
  • Violet/Red/Yellow - West/Central/East
• National League
  • Blue - single division
  • Cyan/Green - West/East
  • Cyan/Blue/Green - West/Central/East

Jhn31 ( talk) 02:40, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I'm not married to any color scheme! I was simply following the color scheme from the map here (while yes, I made that SVG file, it was based on a PNG file that I did not make). I think the theme the original map maker was going for was warm colors=American League, cool colors=National League. I personally like that myself (but it could very well be my familiarity with it). I like the idea of there being continuity in the color scheme that you have here (where the single division and West/East colors are all different), though I'm not really thrilled with Cyan and Green, as it I think it leads to the same issues as Yellow and Orange. I'm currently trying to get the orange button to be slightly less yellow, so before anyone goes and makes changes to the dozens of labeled maps, maybe the slight adjustment will help and the status quo could be maintained. Spesh531 ^{(talk, contrib., ext.)} 03:55, 20 April 2024 (UTC) reply

I don't feel that strongly about the colors either, but I'm just trying to think what the six most easily distinguished colors would be, probably RBG/CMY. I propose something like this for the alignment of maps and standings. The drawback is that it would require separate templates for each league, not MLB as a whole.
