Diagrams at Surround sound

Can you explain to me why you are replacing my SVG diagrams at Surround sound with pseudo-SVG files that are 150 times larger, in some cases do not render on the Wikimedia servers, and are not in fact SVGs at all but simply embedded bitmaps? I'm reverting to the small versions that display properly until then. Cheers, Stannered 11:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yorxs Answer: I simply fixed errors in the diagrams, the most important factor for those researching an article. Explained in detail below.

1. The diagram you replaced for Pro-Logic is just flat out wrong, it was not visually accurate to the way pro-logic outputs sound, i.e. missing the center channel. 2. The remaining diagrams you replaced were of poor graphic quality. 3. All of the graphics you replaced looked inconsistant as if they were from different sources, I made them look uniform as the original author of these graphics intended.

I would appreciate it if you were more careful when updating others artwork, as you introduced an error into the article unnecessarily.

1: Could you not have simply asked me to tweak my graphic? I would have done so instantly. I'm sorry, couldn't you have done the same?

2: Are you saying my diagrams were of poor graphic quality, or the ones I was replacing were? The new graphics looked inferior to the graphics you were replacing.

3: You made them look uniform, but at the expense of having real SVG versions. Sorry, I used Adobe Illustrator to make these, not sure why you think they are not real SVG files.

I'm now going to CAREFULLY go and tweak existing images on the page to create new SVGs for the inconsistent images (including your 460K monstrosity). Hope it makes you happy. Stannered 09:32, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Could you please check for me that they are correct this time, and let me know if not? Stannered 09:44, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yorxs Response: Looks great, just so we are clear, I want to work with you not against you. I feel the new set of changes are an all around improvement.

Speedy deletion nomination of COLONNADE MALL

A tag has been placed on COLONNADE MALL requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

September 2016

Your recent editing history at Shooting of Terence Crutcher shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
