• How to write a great article
• Discover what's going on in the Wikimedia community

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Green Giant (talk) 09:38, 10 August 2014 (UTC)Reply[reply]

What are edits like this and this for? It appears to cause the vertically-aligned Manchu/Mongol text to overflow out of the infobox table cell in which it's contained and overlap the cells below it. Similarly, when you do it in running text (as here) it causes the lower parts of the vertically-aligned text to overlap the rest of the same paragraph. The better solution for running text is to avoid putting vertically-laid-out-strings in the middle of lines of horizontal text, and to rotate whichever one would be least jarring for the reader to see rotated (what is done e.g. in all Chinese-language books about Mongolian or Manchu); in infobox table cells it seems like the least-bad solution is to let the line-height be, even if that leads to absurdly-tall lines. 58.176.246.42 (talk) 03:04, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, for the first two edits, they looks proper to me, they are not overflow out of the infobox table cell, tested on the current version of Chrome and Firefox. For the third edit, I just put some CSS properties to reduce the height of vertically-aligned text, to reduce the gap between horizontal lines. Using the max-height property in these articles is to make them happy on some browsers which do not support vertical layout. BTW which font do you used for looking them? --Great Brightstar (talk) 03:24, 2 March 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello. I maintain multilingual Wikimedia charts showing roadmaps to the various planes of the Unicode Standard.
I've seen your edits periodically and was wondering if you'd be interested in providing a Chinese translation for the roadmaps.
The specifics are at User:Drmccreedy/roadmap_multilingual.
There is a old Chinese roadmap to the BMP at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roadmap_to_Unicode_BMP-zh.svg but it's very out-of-date and I'd like to support Chinese in the multilingual charts instead.
The Chinese Unicode page currently uses the English version.
Thank you for any help you can offer. DRMcCreedy (talk) 03:59, 31 July 2016 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Please download and test the latest release of Tangut Yinchuan as it now supports vertical text layout. The latest version of BabelStone Han also supports vertical text layout. BabelStone (talk) 15:19, 19 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@BabelStone: OK, Tangut Yinchuan performanced better now. --Great Brightstar (talk) 13:28, 20 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

But I found one problem is, when I try Tangut Yinchuan, every glyphs looks larger than Chinese font within vertical texts. --Great Brightstar (talk) 13:32, 20 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Can you show me a screenshot? Perhaps you need to adjust the point sizes of the Chinese and Tangut fonts so they are the same. BabelStone (talk) 13:40, 20 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@BabelStone: Oh yeah, I just modified ((tangut/sandbox)) and then I found the problem. Here is my screenshot: [1] --Great Brightstar (talk) 02:44, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

If you want to match Bushell's original table of Tangut characters you need to use a Ming/Song Chinese font at a smaller point size than the Tangut font, so that the Tangut characters are primary and the Chinese characters are secondary. At present your sandbox looks the opposite of what Bushell intended, with small Tangut characters that appear to be secondary to the Chinese characters. You may be able to achieve the right effect by reducing the point size of the Chinese font and/or increasing the point size of the Tangut font, and at the same time increasing the line gap of the Chinese font, but I think it will be very hard to get it just right. I still think that the best solution is to use a table with invisible horizontal cell lines. BabelStone (talk) 09:38, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@BabelStone: I don’t think so, I feel surprised for this phonomenon because I have compared with Tangut N4694 font, which looks well aligned with Chinese on there. --Great Brightstar (talk) 10:36, 21 March 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

@BabelStone: I know what’s wrong with it, the EM size have been set to 1024, if you reduce it into 1000 then they would be looks better when used along with CJK text in vertical layout. When I compared with Tangut N4694 font I found the problem. -- Great Brightstar (talk) 14:45, 9 June 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

That's not a problem with Tangut Yinchuan. In TrueType fonts the em size is usually either 1024 or 2048. Maybe you should try using it with a CJK font that has a 1024 em size. Anyhow, I'm not going to change the em size of Tangut Yinchuan. BabelStone (talk) 15:49, 9 June 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hello

It appears you are online. I am currently reverting several of your unexplained edits that, no matter how I look at, seems to be having fun with syntax. The net result is that you add a second link that edits version number pages.

Would you mind explaining it?

Best regards,
Codename Lisa (talk) 13:44, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm so sorry that I will apologize to you. With recent notifications I found what's wrong with me. Now I found ((Infobox software)) has a parameter to create the edit link if the infobox space including multiple version number and dates, but I have not notice the introduction for this parameter in the template documentation, until I scroll to TemplateData. But anyway, I made up for it in there. --Great Brightstar (talk) 13:59, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Well, to be honest your biggest mistake was having not written an edit summary. Still, I am glad this dispute in the template namespace ended better than many others. Thanks. —Codename Lisa (talk) 14:08, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I'm decided to try to add further introduction for this. --Great Brightstar (talk) 14:12, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Is it possible to add a parameter in ((LSR))/((LPR)) to cancel the edit link? --Great Brightstar (talk) 14:39, 15 December 2017 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You had to ask that, didn't you? :) The biggest problem with LSR and LPR is that it is impossible to touch them without serious repercussions. They are used in too many places, and not all of them are infobox places. People have come to trust on what they do. (And by God, I hate them; they are so woefully poor in design. Did you know that the |article= actually has nothing to do with the article's name?) The correct way to replace them is to create new replace them and gradually phase them in. I am talking about carefully designed replacements that anyone would love.

The problem with this approach is that it simply needs so much man-hours of work and the payoff is negligible. And failing to finish it puts us in the same situation that the RSS-Atom competition warned up about.

Hi Great Brightstar,

I just noticed that you are still active on the page Template:Script/Hebrew but did not respond to my talk page comment. Can you please have a look? Basically you made some changes which put a monospaces font at the top of the priority queue, which should probably be changed to a serif font.

Hi Great Brightstar

We're working to measure the value of Wikipedia in economic terms. We want to ask you some questions about how you value being able to edit Wikipedia.

Our survey should take about 10-15 minutes of your time. We hope that you will enjoy it and find the questions interesting. All answers will be kept strictly confidential and will be anonymized before the aggregate results are published. Regretfully, we can only accept responses from people who live in the US due to restrictions in our grant-based funding.

As a reward for your participation, we will randomly pick 1 out of every 5 participants and give them $25 worth of goods of their choice from the Wikipedia store (e.g. Wikipedia themed t-shirts). Note that we can only reward you if you are based in the US.

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

Hi, I noticed that you're the one making the most edits to the template to make traditional Mongolian script vertical. I'm also a user on Fanon wiki, and I made a fictional nation based off proto-Mongols. I want to use Mongolian script vertically to made it more immersive, but it's proven difficult to import the MongolUnicode template, and even the Fanon Wiki user I asked to help wasn't able to do it. I was wondering if you could try and see if you could import the template to Fanon Wiki for myself and others to use. --SkyGuy94 (talk) 02:25, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi. Following this 6-month old discussion which resulted in a consensus to merge Template:Football squad player and Template:Football squad player2, we made a redesign RfC to decide HOW the resulting template should look (which ended over 3 months ago). Now, we have implemented some changes to Football squad player (which are now live). However, there are a couple of issues:

1. One of the results of the RfC was that it would be ideal to show two columns on the PC version, and a single column on mobile version (this is how is should look like on PC, and this is how is should look like on mobile)
2. It seems that Fs player2 doesn't use a "Fs player2 start", "mid", or "end", rather a wikitable, which complicates things (see this, for example)
3. Finally there is Template:Fs player2 sort. If we redirected fs start and end2 to the main ones, the table would work, but the headings would be out of order (e.g. the nationality of the players appears in the last column). ((fs player)) needs to be reworked to able to accept both the normal input and the parameters used in ((Fs player2 sort)).

Do you think these issues can be solved? @Number 57 and I discussed this at @Frietjes's talk page, and she told us to check with you (see discussion on her talk page). Nehme₁₄₉₉ (talk) 23:12, 18 August 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

To correct point 2, fs player2 does have start and end templates, but on some articles, editors have used Wikitable starts and endings instead. And if it avoids duplication, I am currently having a conversation with another editor about the split view on my talk page, with a couple of 'almost' versions produced (one in the sandbox and one in my userspace).

Thanks for uploading File:John F. McDonnell.gif. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia.

Hi,

You have uploaded some non-free images of a living person. Almost all such images are not compliant with Wikipedia's guidelines for non-free content. In particular, it contravenes policy point 1 which covers replaceability. From the guidelines, "Non-free content should not be used when a freely licensed file that serves the same purpose can reasonably be expected to be uploaded, as is the case for almost all portraits of living people." Please don't upload any more non-free images of living people. They will just be deleted. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 00:56, 2 December 2020 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Could you help with some flags at the new article "List of religious flags of Vietnam" if you have the time and will to do so? I know that you have a lot more Chinese calligraphic fonts that I have and with the Vietnamese family flags I used the fonts I had available to me which I think might not be the most faithful, plus a lot of the flags are just illustrations from other sources that could be replaced with SVG's. Also perhaps you would be able to find a couple of flags I missed. ;-) --Donald Trung (talk) 19:03, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

At the website Lyrics.vn I found the lyrics of the second national anthem of the Empire of Vietnam, they are in the public domain and could be found here:

I think that this could be added to the Empire of Vietnam article, but I haven't been able to find a contemporary primary or secondary source that actually uses these lyrics, but this would be a good place to start. Also, I don't have any experience writing about national anthems but I know that you do, so perhaps you could do more with this information than I can at present. --Donald Trung (talk) 19:09, 13 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I've also discovered the lyrics is published at this page, but I don't know is there any other sources I can be found and read. And I saw even Vietnamese Wikimedia only vi:Hùng Lân described the use of this song. Anyway, if you want to create an article for this, I think you can first try to translate vi:Tiến về Sài Gòn to get the experience, then you can create new article under the Draft namespace until you're sure the article can be published. -- Great Brightstar (talk) 08:51, 14 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I found an article mentioned this, it looks like a news report to me: Ban Hx Ngàn Khơi Mở Nhạc Hội ‘vn Minh Châu Trời Đông’

I also found vi:Đại Việt Quốc dân Đảng also mentioned as this:

Việc giải tán Đại Việt Quốc dân Đảng đã làm các đảng viên Đại Việt mất khả năng tham chính. Trước chiến thắng của Việt Minh trong cuộc Tổng tuyển cử, ngày 15 tháng 12 năm 1945, Đại Việt Quốc dân đảng cùng với Việt Nam Quốc dân-đảng (lãnh tụ là Vũ Hồng Khanh) và Đại Việt Dân Chính-Đảng (lãnh tụ là Nguyễn Tường Tam) thành lập Mặt trận Quốc dân Đảng Việt Nam để chống lại "phe Cộng sản". Cờ hiệu của Đại Việt là lá cờ nền đỏ, tròng xanh, sao trắng và ca khúc "Việt Nam Minh châu trời đông" của Hùng Lân được dùng chung cho cả Mặt trận.

I can't believe that I didn't comment on this before, those stamps have two (2) inscriptions not in two (2) different scripts, but in two (2) different languages, one being Vernacular Vietnamese and the other being Classical Chinese. Classical Chinese was the official language of all Chinese cultural countries until sometime after World War II and despite over half of the Vietnamese language being Chinese the grammar works different, hence you get in Japanese (which likewise is mostly just Chinese) "越南帝國" (Etsunan Teikoku) but in Vietnamese "帝國越南" (Đế quốc Việt Nam), this isn't a script difference but a linguistic one. Of course, Classical Chinese was still formally used during the Empire of Vietnam period although it had a comparatively small role compared to earlier periods (this was because the Bảo Đại Emperor was educated in France and a new generation of French and French-style educated mandarins rose to prominence during his reign period), I haven't changed anything to those edits because they are correct, but the Hán in the article isn't simply a different script it is actual Chinese (because in Chinese the grammatically correct way of saying the "Empire of Vietnam" would be "Việt Nam Đế quốc"). I hope that this clears up things. --Donald Trung (talk) 09:23, 29 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

OK, I got the idea for fix. Thank you. BTW I feel something weird, because I saw the stamps having the St Edward's Crown at the top. -- Great Brightstar (talk) 17:26, 29 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Oh God, I didn't notice those St Edward's Crowns before. I don't own any philantelic books and I don't actively collect stamps so I can't confirm if the Japanese might have imported some Malayan or North Bornean designs, but it is also possible that these are fantasies. Again, I don't know much about postage stamps but this does require some further research as it doesn't make much sense to have the St Edward's Crown on a stamp of a Japanese puppet in a former French territory. --Donald Trung (talk) 17:34, 29 September 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]

This is very interesting. Unfortunately, I have no ideas about this work neither in school curriculum nor in media coverage. I wonder about the authorship and craftsmanship of this anthology (?) of letters. I mean who were the authors, and did they claim their works to be nonfiction?

Hi Great Brightstar. If you're going to be replacing non-vector versions of non-free logo files with vector versions and using the template ((Vector version available)) when you do, please make use of the parameter |nonfree= so that the non-vector version being replaced is not displayed within the VVA template. Not using |nonfree= causes the vector version to be flagged as a WP:NFCC#9 violation by a bot, which then has to be reviewed by a human file reviewer. The are instructions how to use this parameter on the template's documentation page, but basically all you need to do is set it to "yes" (i.e. |nonfree=yes). -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:49, 19 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Thanks, I've already moved "|- style="text-align:center;"" into a relevant template, so remove this line wouldn't affect content now.

Thanks for uploading File:Solaris 9 logo.png. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

Thank you for uploading File:Joby Aviation Logo.svg. However, it is currently missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

An article you recently created, Armorial of Latvia, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hi Brightstar

Firstly thanks so much for making this template, its extremely useful, I'm trying to use it for Help pages (honestly it would really help with layout) but I'm having an issue. I need to to allow a caption but for the frame to be invisible, rather than grey with a line. I've tried to use frameless, however this hides the caption. Is there some way of doing this?

Thanks again

Thanks for uploading File:Seimas logo.svg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text ((Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>)) below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kys5g (talk) 11:00, 26 January 2024 (UTC)Reply[reply]
