Looks like it ended up needing protection after all. At least it's a protected redirect to super bowl as I intended instead of a null page with a deletion flag. NYC Guru (talk) 02:47, 20 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

A tag has been placed on File:2004StanleyCupPlayoffs.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Hi, I created a talk page item at Talk:Super Bowl LVII#Lead section regarding one of your edits and would be grateful if you could share your thoughts. Best regards. --Jameboy (talk) 22:23, 17 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Hearing that Santa Clara hosting the milestone SB60, now's the time to protect the SB61 -> Super Bowl redir for a couple of years. It's up to you, though. NYC Guru (talk) 09:45, 7 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

See WP:PREEMPTIVE. That generally discourages me from making the first move, especially when there are already notices that Draft:Super Bowl LXI currently exists. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 04:38, 8 July 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for sharing WP:USRD/STDS in your edit summary, its very helpful. Greetings from Hollywood Blvd :)  // Timothy :: talk  08:28, 16 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Regarding this edit reordering images. I agree images ideally should be appropriately placed to where that specific item is discussed in the article. However, there are other considerations. Arguably the most important is readability on small screens. If all the images are moved to the front of the article, in order to be rendered on small screens they have to be stacked and the text squeezed to impossibly small margins. I did not revert, and don't plan to. But just a friendly reminder for placing images in the future that Wikipedia has to be readable by both the rich guy with dual 52" monitors and the poor man on a 640x480,3rd hand, 9" VGA monitor. I'd argue it's more important to cater to the latter than the former. (And incidentally, this is the exact complaint I made about the new Vector skin. Not everybody has a 52" monitor an oodles of space to waste. Dave (talk) 04:36, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

I also thought about removing one or both of those aerial images altogether. When you view them on small screens and mobile devices as you said, some people probably could barely see where the freeway runs if they did not know what spot to look for. Zzyzx11 (talk) 11:49, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Yeah, when I'm working on an article, especially one I plan to submit to GAC or similar review process, I try to at least once in a blue moon view it on a a small screen (or deliberately shrink the resolution of a big screen). If the page can't render without squeezed prose or image stacking, delete an image or two. Specific to Foothill Freeway, I did that just before leaving the above message. there's plenty of room towards the bottom of the article to support more images even on my 14" netbook, but space is already tight towards the top of the article with all the infoboxes and tables. I think we're ok for now, but I don't think the Route Description or Introduction sections can support any more images. Cheers. Dave (talk) 22:55, 19 March 2023 (UTC)Reply

Though I'd rather all the 'Monarchy of...' pages were deleted from the 'See also' section, of the British royal family page (as supposedly, each has their own royal family). I noticed in adding the others, you forgot one. GoodDay (talk) 22:47, 24 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Forgot Belize, but now I have noticed that this was related to the recent edit war over there regarding the 'Canadian' royal family, and therefore reverted all. Cheers. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:05, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for uploading File:NFL50th.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. IagoQnsi (talk) 01:54, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for moving it to C:File:NFL 50th anniversary logo.png on the Wikimedia Commons, claiming that it is a {{PD-textlogo}} instead. Keep in mind however that some of these image moves have been controversial, with editors debating on the degree as to whether these previously-claimed non-free images actually qualify as PD-textlogos, and nominating them for deletion on C:Commons:Deletion requests on a case-by-case basis. Thanks. Zzyzx11 (talk) 14:28, 1 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Hey, I noticed your comment at Talk:Apple, and wanted to make just a small note - the article estimates domestication of apples at 10,000 years ago. Divided by 30 years, that's 333 generations; by 18 years, that's 555 generations. While it's plausible that humans also ate them before domestication, I wouldn't go so far to say it's thousands of generations :) --Joy (talk) 08:33, 23 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

I admit that I did not initially do such a calculation, and "thousand generations" just popped into my head :) Zzyzx11 (talk) 08:33, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply

The article List of streets in Los Angeles has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

the content is that of a navigation box or category page, not an article

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:01, 4 October 2024 (UTC)Reply
