Hey Bobamnertiopsis

I'm sending you this because you've made quite a few edits to the template namespace in the past couple of months. If I've got this wrong, or if I haven't but you're not interested in my request, don't worry; this is the only notice I'm sending out on the subject :).

So, as you know (or should know - we sent out a centralnotice and several watchlist notices) we're planning to deploy the VisualEditor on Monday, 1 July, as the default editor. For those of us who prefer markup editing, fear not; we'll still be able to use the markup editor, which isn't going anywhere.

What's important here, though, is that the VisualEditor features an interactive template inspector; you click an icon on a template and it shows you the parameters, the contents of those fields, and human-readable parameter names, along with descriptions of what each parameter does. Personally, I find this pretty awesome, and from Monday it's going to be heavily used, since, as said, the VisualEditor will become the default.

The thing that generates the human-readable names and descriptions is a small JSON data structure, loaded through an extension called TemplateData. I'm reaching out to you in the hopes that you'd be willing and able to put some time into adding TemplateData to high-profile templates. It's pretty easy to understand (heck, if I can write it, anyone can) and you can find a guide here, along with a list of prominent templates, although I suspect we can all hazard a guess as to high-profile templates that would benefit from this. Hopefully you're willing to give it a try; the more TemplateData sections get added, the better the interface can be. If you run into any problems, drop a note on the Feedback page.

Thanks, Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 21:46, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

So that you are aware, the guidelines for ITN nominations require that existing articles have a recommended 5 new sentences of prose, with at least three new sourses. Your nomination would need some expansion of each article. You might be able to do so by looking for comments by notable astronomers or TV scientists. μηδείς (talk) 22:20, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

On 4 July 2013, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Styx (moon), which you recently nominated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page.

Hello, Bobamnertiopsis. Can you possibly help me update Minneapolis to 2013? I read two articles in MinnPost (1 and 2), and all the comments, which just sound like edit warring to me, but they are of interest for the city's long term outlook. I think the Minneapolis article, as part of an encyclopedia, is all right to cling to the past, but there's not much I can do for the present and future because I'm so old now. For starters I replaced the photo of Prince (who the article says is the city's most famous musical progeny, and I still think he is) with one of Doomtree. I noticed you uploaded a photo of Dessa so maybe you could write the caption, maybe to include RhymeSayers? -SusanLesch (talk) 15:25, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

I see the validity of constant updates to an article such as Minneapolis, but it's definitely not worth replacing Prince's picture. He is, as you say, our city's most famous musical progeny. What we've got going on at the Minneapolis article now, both Prince and Dessa/Doomtree (members of Minneapolis's next generation of musical pioneers) strikes a good balance between history and present/future. Anyway, even if MSP are rebranding themselves, it's not exactly our job to respond immediately. You've built a really fantastic article up and, while minor tweaks are always called for, I think it's really strong as-is pretty much. But, for sure, I'll do my best to keep up with the Minneapolis page and do what I can to keep it up to date. Thanks for engaging me on this! BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 22:24, 28 July 2013 (UTC)

I responded at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Minneapolis_mayoral_election,_2013. Ended up reverting it back to the table, and adding more edits. IMO, go ahead and collect your pictures, another large edit would THEN be a good idea.

Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis_mayoral_election,_2013#Results ,

it's from a section we're both looking at... Is there a quick and non-tedious way to make a table to be PARTIALLY Sortable? i.e.: Just the name and vote count columns for example, WITHOUT having to edit each and every row of the table. LP-mn (talk) 21:15, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

I'll take a look at it. I think there is but I'm pretty miserable with the intricacies of tables. BobAmnertiopsis∴_ChatMe! 21:35, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

A suggestion if I may: One of us needs to split the results table at Minneapolis_mayoral_election,_2013#Results. I suggest rounds 1 to 13, then 14 to 27-ish or so, and so on, so that the table(s) will fit on a landscape-oriented piece of 8.5x11 inch paper. I've already posted a similar suggestion to User:LightSoup as well as with User:Guyb123321.

Just wanted to say thanks for categorizing it. I was not sure if it would fall under education as it's a fraternity and obviously associated with the local university in Dresden but on the other hand not an educational "institution" itself. As you might notice, the page was written by a few Germans, a Half-Canadian, a Half-Englishman and me (German in the US). If you have good input regarding the language, please feel free to edit the page. There's not many English pages on the old school fraternities (which are quite a bit different from what I got to know here in the US, though limited to the ones in Cleveland, Boulder and the Twin Cities where I spend(spent) some time every now and then).

Hallo from Minneapolis! Always glad to meet people who know the Twin Cities. With Good Article categorization, you have to assume that everything will fall under one of the categories and education is definitely the best fit for a fraternity, especially an old school one with rhetoric and everything. As far as pre-GAN notes go, there are a couple of paragraphs that don't have any inline citations in them and to pass GA, they're going to need sources. I'll see if I can read through the page for copyediting and stuff. Thanks for your good work! (And don't worry about the bot...it should be just fine.)

My name is Mikey Saugstad, and I'm excited for your seminar tonight! Misaugstad (talk) 16:50, 31 March 2014 (UTC)

On 12 April 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article 2048 (video game), which you recently nominated. The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/2048 (video game). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hey!

So for many many reasons this week has been really hectic for me... I'm going to try and get stuff written for the Raymond article before 6 today, but we'll see what happens... Hopefully I should be able to move forward with the rest of the class and just take a couple notes on what I need to do after finishing my article. Just figured you should have a heads up, plus this was an excuse to relearn how to use talk pages... By the way am I supposed to create a new section or is it more like one section per person?

update: I'm having trouble finding books that could even be helpful when I do a book search, plus the link you put on the wiki site wasn't helpful for Raymond either, unfortuantely :(

Hi, @Misaugstad: Don't worry! We'll be doing infboxes and pictures and everything else I covered in my email last week, so as long as you come to class with a picture of Raymond, you should be fine. I'll look around for more resources and put links to stuff on your sandbox. I would have thought, I guess, that there'd be more info on Raymond, but it's weirdly difficult to find, isn't it? Huh.

Hey @Bobamnertiopsis:, so I searched pretty hard for more material on Raymond. I'm up to about 1k characters but the only other information that I could find was from a College Prowler book, should I assume that that isn't a reliable source? Or should I because it's just basic facts about the dorm? Also, your book was in my mailbox this week! So don't worry, it isn't lost. Misaugstad (talk) 01:51, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello! Your submission of Template:Did you know nominations/Lathrop House (Vassar College) at the Did You Know nominations page is not complete; see step 3 of the nomination procedure. If you do not want to continue with the nomination, tag the nomination page with {{db-g7}}, or ask a DYK admin. Thank you. DYKHousekeepingBot (talk) 21:53, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

On 3 June 2014, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lathrop House (Vassar College), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that despite Frederick Law Olmsted's wishes, Francis Allen had Vassar College's Lathrop House built directly north of Strong House?

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.
