The welcome may be belated, but the cookies are still warm!
Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, Physeters! I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may still benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:
I notice you have a fancy signature (which looks cool). But I'm wondering-- do you have a way of typing in four tildes (four of these-- "~") to make your fancy signature then automatically appear?
Or do you have another short-cut way to do it?
Or do you have to always cut and paste in the code for your fancy signature each time?
Hi @Chesapeake77! I do have a way of adding my signature by typing four tildes. The way to change it from the automatic signature is very simple. What you need to do is, navigate to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences, and scroll down until you see "Signature". Copy your signature's html code into the text box and check "Treat the above as wiki markup" and then press save. This will make your tilde signature the custom signature you've designed as long as it 255 characters or shorter (yours is 215 characters in length, so in theory, you could add even more to you signature if you like). By the way, I think your signature looks very nice! Physeters✉
Oh, and I forgot, if you want the signature to show up on other wikimedia websites, you have to update your signature in the same manner as laid out above on each website. So for example, if you wanted to update it on Wikimedia Commons, you would go to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences and do the same as instructed above for Wikipedia.

Thanks so very much for taking the time to explain this! :)
And thanks for the compliment on my sig!
I hope it's OK that I copied all of this to my Sandbox, just in case you want to clear things off over here at some point.
@Chesapeake77 You are very welcome. It is perfectly fine to keep a copy of this correspondence, though I don't intend to blank this section any time soon. Please let me know when you get it all working! Physeters✉ 06:50, 20 April 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Just an FYI, but it is generally best practice to strike out your comments once they are outdated or if you are correcting an error once anyone has commented in reply. The change you made at the Vex/Heraldry Wikiproject isn't problematic, but it can cause unnecessary drama at more contentious forums. BTW, my suggestion still stands: you have a physical flag; that should be your lodestar in vectorizing. VanIsaac, MPLLcontWpWS 03:42, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for the advice @Vanisaac. I will strike out outdated comments going forward. As to which flag to use, I am going to give it a couple of more days to see where consensus falls, but more likely than not, I will end up going with your suggestion. Physeters✉ 05:13, 2 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]

You could add those 2 new files for the Russian Invasion article in on the article's Talk page, and then one of the article editors can place them into the needed sections. ErnestKrause (talk) 21:01, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Nice going on those animated files. They should be in the article now. ErnestKrause (talk) 22:09, 12 June 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You had previously mentioned that there might be issues with the animation map for Phase Two of the invasion when July came around. After thinking about this, it seems like there may be a way to extend the life of the animation map by changing over to an every second day strategy, since the progress of the invasion has been rather slow geographically speaking. That might extend the size capacity of the animation map for another month or two. Any thoughts? ErnestKrause (talk) 14:30, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@ErnestKrause That could be possible. However, we would need to ask the people at the main Ukraine War article how they feel about this change. We have until July 18th to come up with a solution, and it is still possible that a natural breaking point will develop. I know some people say that the fall of Sievierodonetsk and Lysychansk represents the end of the second stage of the war, so is it possible that we could break the animation there? Physeters✉ 18:47, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Latest intelligence report from Avril Haines is to expect the long duration conflict to continue. It might be an idea to wait until the end of this week to see if new target cities are invaded by Russian troops, and then either do the 'every-second-day' animation map, or to post it as an option on the Talk page at the article. Which version of this sounds best to you? ErnestKrause (talk) 22:27, 3 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I will give it another week, and if no natural break occurs, or the article is not divided into a third stage, I will propose the every other day animation on the main article.. Physeters✉ 03:16, 4 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Its Sunday afternoon and there are no objections to the proposal on the Talk page; it looks like it should be good to go forward with the file replacement as stated whenever you are ready for it. ErnestKrause (talk) 17:42, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yep. If no objections are raised, I will switch to every other day on July 19th, the day after the every day version will stop working. Thanks for the good idea! Physeters✉ 19:58, 10 July 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That was a nice map cropping for Phase 3 of the Invasion; I'm wondering if it might be useful to do an update before the end of September for those interested in this new phase of the invasion. It looks like you are getting close to 500 edits at Wikipedia, and that means that you'll be extended confirmed and be able to do these edits on your own as well. Let me know if end of September is possible for you on this animation map. ErnestKrause (talk) 18:21, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@ErnestKrause I tend to update the animations every 10 days or so, so I'll update them this weekend. Physeters✉ 19:05, 23 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@ErnestKrause Done! I've added the frames up to September 25th for all applicable animations. Physeters✉ 05:09, 26 September 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Any chance that you could do a guest appearance at the invasion page and update that nice Phase 3 map animation that you make 2-3 months ago; there seems to activity in Kherson lately. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:38, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sure, I'll work on it along with the other animations this week. I had kind of forgotten about it, as it was a fully protected file for a while, but that seems to have been lifted. Physeters✉ 20:23, 5 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
On my screen I'm not seeing anything in the animation after Sept 25? You did update the caption, though I'm not seeing the animation up to Dec 1st which you seemed to refer to. ErnestKrause (talk) 17:29, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@ErnestKrause I updated it to November 1st yesterday and it seems to display on my end. I suggest you clear your cache, as sometimes my device displays the cached old version of a file instead of the new one. Physeters✉ 19:50, 6 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've tried it from another computer an it looks ok up to Nov 1st; could it be expanded at some point to get it up to December? There ha apparently been activity in Kherson which only occurred after Nov. 1. Nice going on getting it up to Nov. 1 in the meantime. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:14, 7 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@ErnestKrause I've added the frames to the fifth of December, but it seems that it has encountered the same problem as before with the other animation. I guess I'll just switch it to every other day? Physeters✉ 23:58, 7 December 2022 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That animation map currently seems locked on the start date in September, with all animation currently being suppressed for some reason. I'm supporting you for going ahead with the 'every other day' approach, and then updating the caption there to December. I'll try to support you on making the changes.

Nice going. Its remarkable how the front line appears not have moved much in the last 2 months. ErnestKrause (talk) 16:10, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Yeah. When I started editing the Ukraine map back in May, the front would move noticeably most days of the week. Now, even on days where there is an update, the change in control is so small that it is almost undetectable, especially in the gif. Physeters✉ 21:33, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
@ErnestKrause I just updated the cropped animation up to February 24th, but it has again hit the rendering limit, even though I already switched it to every other day. What do you think I should do? I could switch it to every three days. Do you have any ideas? Thanks! Physeters✉ 05:00, 26 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Actually, I'm thinking that every third day should be fine, since the frontlines have not really changed that much over the last 2-3 months. Sounds good. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Great! I'll switch it to every third day this evening. Physeters✉ 21:30, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
It's not been updated since February 2023; any chance that you could take a look when its convenient? ErnestKrause (talk) 15:25, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Sure, I'll work on it this week. I am painfully aware of the fact that I have not updated the gif, and must've become quite an annoyance to you, for which I apologize. Physeters✉ 20:20, 16 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
There's no rush on this. Possibly you could get to it later this month or next month? Maybe you waiting for the resolution of Bakhmut before editing this. ErnestKrause (talk) 15:06, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I actually started making the new frames yesterday. Do you want me to hold off until the end of the Battle of Bakhmut? Physeters✉ 18:22, 23 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
By the end of the month or at the end of the Battle should work, which ever comes first. Does that work for your planning? ErnestKrause (talk) 15:30, 24 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Either of those would work, but I could also update it today if you like. Physeters✉ 17:27, 24 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Then there's every reason to go forward at this time; try to update the captions for updated dates as best you can in the captions. Cheers. ErnestKrause (talk) 23:05, 24 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Done! On your second point, do you mean that I should change the dates in the legends of the gifs themselves, or that I should change their descriptions in the map gallery. Physeters✉ 19:34, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I've updated the animation map caption to cover up to 24 April 2023 now. Nice going. ErnestKrause (talk) 21:23, 25 April 2023 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Blaze Wolf was:
This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:
in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
Make sure you add references that meet these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.
The comment the reviewer left was:
The first 3 sources are primary and don't establish notability. The 4th source seems to be routine coverage and not in-depth. The 5th source is account walled (I need an account to read it) so I'm unable to view it.
Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.
If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Chester County Hospital and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.

I'm not quite sure I understand what you're trying to say, but that is probably because of poor translation. As far as I know, Russian forces control around 99% of Luhansk Oblast, with Ukraine controlling a few small villages along the border with Donetsk & Kharkiv Oblasts. Russia has advanced around Kreminna in the past couple of days. Is that what you are referring to, or are you trying to say that since the Russian media says that they have full control of Luhansk, that it must be true/false?

Hi, Physeters! I saw you made an SVG of the flag of Lawrence County, PA and you did a great job for just having a grainy image from CFW Flags to work with!
However, that flag they list on CFW is not accurate: the proportions are wrong, the colors aren't quite right, and they mistook the gold fringe around the flag as part of the design.
I live in Lawrence County. I asked the commissioners about the county flag and I was able to get a photo of it. I was hoping that, at some point, you could redo the SVG you made of the Lawrence County flag using this photo I took.
The flag is an off-center, green shape of the county on a white background. In total there are 7 colors: white, green, gold, black, tan, gray, and sky blue. The lighting is bad but all the elements in the circle that look gray are actually white, except the wheat is gray, not white. The tan on the dirt half and between the gold wheat rays match. And the font on the bottom looks like Arial.
Once it's completed, could you put the image on the Lawrence County page in the flag section of the infobox, please?
Thanks,
