Hi, thanks for your interest in and work on the article. I'm not to happy with the compression of the references, but soit. Listen, can you do that OS grid reference thing also for [[Stac Biorach]]? I honestly don't know what it is or how to do it, and perhaps you can see if there are any obvious errors in there. (I'm planning to work my way through the whole archipelago.)

::Hey Finavon, thanks again! Eh...I don't know what "GridReference" is, but I'll look it up... As for WP:ISLE, I don't know--I developed this fondness overnight for St Kilda, but I'll have a look when I get a minute. Right now, what I have for islands is a lot of love, not expertise. I hope you don't mind if I occasionally call in your help via your talkpage? Thanks again, [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 15:25, 9 February 2009 (UTC) |

:::Hey Finavon, I can't find the coordinates for Stac Levenish. I can see it on Google Maps, but I don't know how a location on the map delivers coordinates there. If you have a minute, I'd appreciate your help--and perhaps you can let your eagle's eye roam over the infobox on [[Stac Levenish]].

::::Thanks! I do think the images look a lot better now. The article simply needs more words, and that will be difficult--it's not often written about. Thanks again for your help! [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 22:04, 9 February 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:OK. Thanks. For information: |
|||
:To find the Grid Reference, I use the Ordnance Survey Get-a-map maps ("Map sources/GeoHack" page accessed from another GR or title coords); position the desired point in the centre of the frame and read off the GR. Once you have the GR, Coords can be read off a new "Map sources/GeoHack" page either as decimal degrees or DMS. |
|||
:"GridReference" is a parameter in the Scottish island Infobox - above where you entered the name. |
|||
I agree the citation templates are easier to fill in in vertical format, but (once entered) the article is easier to edit with them in horizontal format. [[User:Finavon|Finavon]] ([[User talk:Finavon#top|talk]]) 22:09, 9 February 2009 (UTC) |
|||
*I've added [[Stac Biorach]] and [[Stac Levenish]] to [[List_of_islands_of_Scotland#Smaller_offshore_islands]]; I hope I did so correctly--please check if you have a moment. The problem with horizontal references is that I find it difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff in edit mode... I'll play around again with the Grid Reference thing.

:They are in the right place. [[Stac Lee]] looks in need of a complete island infobox. That template has some basic documentation, but for some of its embedded functions, I admit my approach is trial and error. I think the comment on GridReference is frankly wrong - GR display is inline only. [[User:Finavon|Finavon]] ([[User talk:Finavon#top|talk]]) 22:47, 9 February 2009 (UTC) |

Hi, Your edit to [[James Hoey Craigie]] changing "<tt><nowiki>[[Scottish]]</nowiki></tt>" to "<tt><nowiki>[[Scotland|Scottish]]</nowiki></tt>" seems to be confusing a nationality with a nation. I have searched for style guidance, and that led me to [[Andy Murray]]'s page where there seems to have been a dispute about his nationality which has resolved to "<tt><nowiki>[[Scottish people|Scottish]]</nowiki></tt>". Isn't that a better link? [[User:Jim Craigie|Jim Craigie]] ([[User talk:Jim Craigie|talk]]) 12:47, 13 April 2009 (UTC) |

== Moving pictures to Commons == |

:Good question! I tend to use "<tt><nowiki>[[Scottish people|Scottish]]</nowiki></tt>" when referring to the national heritage. For an individual's ancestry I use "<tt><nowiki>[[Scotland|Scottish]]</nowiki></tt>". I am not completely clear why all nation adjectives are dabs, rather than a main page. You might get a better answer at [[:WP:WPDAB]]. |

Greetings. I know virtually nothing about the mechanism for moving images from English Wikipedia to Commons. Two pictures I uploaded to WP some time ago, [[:File:Mccormick_Hall_MIT.jpg]] and [[:File:Burton House MIT.jpg]], received notices they they were candidates to be moved to commons, and would I please verify that they are unencumbered and may be so moved. I followed the directions and gave my permission as best I knew how, but did nothing else. It now appears that one of them, Burton house, has been moved to Commons, apparently by you, but McCormick has not. If you are indeed the person who moved Burton, I wonder if you could do the same for McCormick. They are both fully released by me. Thank you.

Well spotted, sir! I looked back and forth for various strings, including "the Glasgow Shipping Company" (which I still can't find). I'm becoming very fond of this type of source because it's reader-friendly as well as free--but the search facility can be inexplicably unhelpful, though it sometimes works. Maybe I just haven't got the trick of how it works! Cheers, [[User:Bjenks|Bjenks]] ([[User talk:Bjenks|talk]]) 08:53, 5 September 2013 (UTC) |

Hi, are you aware of the {{tl|cite Miramar}} template which has been created to deal with this problem? [[User:Mjroots|Mjroots]] ([[User talk:Mjroots|talk]]) 20:41, 9 August 2009 (UTC) |
|||
:Not at all. I am away for the week-end and will have a proper look next week. In response to the suggestion to use RL as the definitive list, I suppose it has benefits over H-S. The latter is more widely known and I have a certain affection for his work. Both have limitations and errors, which we should find a way round. I feel I have not contributed much recently, especially in the discussion over the infobox. Your work is very much appreciated.

::Cheers! The beauty of using RL as a basis is - that it changes nothing at all. All we really need do is change the description at the top of the project page and maybe a short note at the foot (plus may be an explicit 'ref name=H-Smith' where that applies. As RL lists every island bar about three there is no need for any kind of 'modified for bridged and tidal islands' malarky, which is easy to say but potentially quite hard to explain in practice as you need a s/sheet to keep track of the differences. Its simply 'modified for more reliable island area estimates' or similar, which I think is pretty straightforward. I'll have a go at the table again over the next day or three with any luck and hope to catch up with you next week. Enjoy the weekend.

Anyway, the proper spelling is "Eilean Dà Ghallagain" (I'd capitalise the "d" myself as it means "two")--[[User:MacRusgail|MacRusgail]] ([[User talk:MacRusgail|talk]]) 00:03, 4 September 2009 (UTC) |

::For some reason accents go missing off Gàidhlig names in English articles etc, even the OS sometimes (but they're remedying that right now). Maybe English speakers are just unused to them. I would go for "Eilean Tràighe", but the one thing I'd say, is that "Tràighe" is sometimes an old fashioned genitive, it would usually be "Tràigh" now... ([http://www2.smo.uhi.ac.uk/gaidhlig/faclair/sbg/lorg.php?faclair=sbg&seorsa=Gaidhlig&tus_saor=on&facal=tr%C3%A0ighe&eis_saor=on&tairg=Lorg although one still in use amongst some Gaels]). Another genitive in common use is "tràghad" - but it's not worth bothering about that here. If the OS version retains the "e", go with that, because it's probably what people are going to know it by. Best to probably create redirects from [[Eilean Traighe]] and [[Eilean Traigh]] (not to mention [[Eilean Tràigh]]), because I find it's difficult to get the diacritics on a lot of computers. Probably most other folk do too. (I tend to cut and paste off MS Word!) |

::Another common mistake in English language pieces is to capitalise the "h" in "(na) h-", or write it as "h'" - "h'" does appear in some older stuff, but it's been out of real use for a long while, and the OS doesn't use it either. |

I see you got to [[Morrich More]] before me. The SNH seem clear that "Paterson Island" isn't one, although intriguingly I have a 1965 OS map of the area that suggests it was then.

|Scale of justice 2.svg|imagesize=40px}} |
|||
[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:Fuiay]] requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G12|section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be a blatant [[Wikipedia:Copyrights|copyright]] infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of ''information'', but not as a source of ''sentences''. This part is crucial: ''say it in your own words''. |

|||
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you ''must'' verify that externally by one of the processes explained at [[Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials]]. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission]]. You might want to look at [[Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] for more details, or ask a question [[Wikipedia:Help desk|here]]. |
|||
At [[Template:Infobox ship begin/Usage guide#Infobox ship image]] the preferred image size for {{tlx|Infobox ship image}} parameter {{para|Ship image size}} or {{para|image size}} is 300px. Because it seems silly to me to make editors set that size in every single ship infobox, I have changed the template to specify 300px as the default value. Editors are of course, free to override that setting it they decide to do so. For you, this means that you no longer need to add {{para|Ship image size|300px}} to the vast majority of {{tld|Infobox ship image}} templates. |
|||
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to '''the top of [[:Fuiay|the page that has been nominated for deletion]]''' (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on '''[[Talk:Fuiay|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. <!-- Template:Db-copyvio-notice --> <!-- Template:Db-csd-notice-custom --> [[User:Panyd|Panyd]]<sup>[[User talk:Panyd|The muffin is not subtle]]</sup> 17:20, 2 December 2009 (UTC) |

Hello there - i see that back in 2011, you created the above article. Hopefully you can answer a few questions which may help improve WP... |
|||
* I found [https://www.facebook.com/FerriesOfSydney/photos/467229726773991 this pic] - do you know if it is indeed ''Columba''? |
|||
* Do you know if she was ever converted to screw propulsion? There doesn't appear to be any paddle in the linked pic. |
|||
* The facebook pic suggests a connection between the Sydney paddler ''[[PS Brighton]]''...do you know anything about this? |

== Categories == |
|||
Can't say I really agree with it but it is the established and I believe correct procedure but if a ship article is moved to a new name then the categories on the article should reflect the whole life of it's service under all names and not just the appropriate ones for that name ie the redirect categories are insufficient [[User:Lyndaship|Lyndaship]] ([[User talk:Lyndaship|talk]]) 14:16, 20 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:Is there another way to show the appropriate name in the category?: eg ''Saturn'' in Category:Caledonian MacBrayne rather than ''Orcadia''. She never operated for CalMac under the latter name. [[User:Finavon|Finavon]] ([[User talk:Finavon#top|talk]]) 14:24, 20 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::Not that I know of! That's the reason I don't agree with the policy. The counter argument is that somebody alighting on the ''Orcadia'' page from a ''Saturn'' link or directly will find the Caledonian MacBrayne category below to search for further ships of the company [[User:Lyndaship|Lyndaship]] ([[User talk:Lyndaship|talk]]) 14:29, 20 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
:::I conceed you know more about ship articles, but is this not an exception covered by "Sometimes a redirect is placed in an article category because the form of the redirected title is more appropriate to the context of that category" (from [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Categorizing_redirect_pages]])? The ship name at the time is appropriate to the operator/owner category. I used the ''Kilbrannan'' categoryisation as justification, but now see I put it there in 2012! In this case, the lists in [[Template:Caledonian_MacBrayne_ships]] allow someone to find further company ships. [[User:Finavon|Finavon]] ([[User talk:Finavon#top|talk]]) 14:54, 20 December 2023 (UTC) |
|||
::::I agree with what you have done but I thought it best to point out that I believed it's not iaw policy. I recall having this discussion before and my POV which accords with yours was shot down in flames. This convention is supported by the example of USS ''Bang'' in [[WP:SHIPS-CAT]]. The policy you quote at [[Wikipedia:Redirect#Categorizing_redirect_pages]] could be interpreted as when categories should (also) be added to a redirect. However [[WP:INCOMPATIBLE]] suggests to me that the category should only appear on the redirect in these cases. Having said that I'm not going to change what you've done or open a more general discussion [[User:Lyndaship|Lyndaship]] ([[User talk:Lyndaship|talk]]) 15:32, 20 December 2023 (UTC) |

Moving pictures to Commons
[edit]Greetings. I know virtually nothing about the mechanism for moving images from English Wikipedia to Commons. Two pictures I uploaded to WP some time ago, File:Mccormick_Hall_MIT.jpg and File:Burton House MIT.jpg, received notices they they were candidates to be moved to commons, and would I please verify that they are unencumbered and may be so moved. I followed the directions and gave my permission as best I knew how, but did nothing else. It now appears that one of them, Burton house, has been moved to Commons, apparently by you, but McCormick has not. If you are indeed the person who moved Burton, I wonder if you could do the same for McCormick. They are both fully released by me. Thank you. William Ackerman (talk) 23:05, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Loch Line
[edit]Well spotted, sir! I looked back and forth for various strings, including "the Glasgow Shipping Company" (which I still can't find). I'm becoming very fond of this type of source because it's reader-friendly as well as free--but the search facility can be inexplicably unhelpful, though it sometimes works. Maybe I just haven't got the trick of how it works! Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 08:53, 5 September 2013 (UTC)

Island fever
[edit]I fear I am boring you but I have finished the analysis of RL's tables and the main issues are all in the last headings on the talk page, especially 'Unresolved issues' and 'Comments...'. Ben MacDui 08:27, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
- Not at all. I am away for the week-end and will have a proper look next week. In response to the suggestion to use RL as the definitive list, I suppose it has benefits over H-S. The latter is more widely known and I have a certain affection for his work. Both have limitations and errors, which we should find a way round. I feel I have not contributed much recently, especially in the discussion over the infobox. Your work is very much appreciated. Finavon (talk) 15:44, 20 September 2013 (UTC)
- Cheers! The beauty of using RL as a basis is - that it changes nothing at all. All we really need do is change the description at the top of the project page and maybe a short note at the foot (plus may be an explicit 'ref name=H-Smith' where that applies. As RL lists every island bar about three there is no need for any kind of 'modified for bridged and tidal islands' malarky, which is easy to say but potentially quite hard to explain in practice as you need a s/sheet to keep track of the differences. Its simply 'modified for more reliable island area estimates' or similar, which I think is pretty straightforward. I'll have a go at the table again over the next day or three with any luck and hope to catch up with you next week. Enjoy the weekend. Ben MacDui 18:05, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

infobox ship image size
[edit]At Template:Infobox ship begin/Usage guide#Infobox ship image the preferred image size for {{Infobox ship image}}
parameter |Ship image size=
or |image size=
is 300px. Because it seems silly to me to make editors set that size in every single ship infobox, I have changed the template to specify 300px as the default value. Editors are of course, free to override that setting it they decide to do so. For you, this means that you no longer need to add |Ship image size=300px
to the vast majority of {{Infobox ship image}}
templates.

[edit]ArbCom 2021 Elections voter message
[edit]Hello there - i see that back in 2011, you created the above article. Hopefully you can answer a few questions which may help improve WP...
- I found this pic - do you know if it is indeed Columba?
- Do you know if she was ever converted to screw propulsion? There doesn't appear to be any paddle in the linked pic.
- The facebook pic suggests a connection between the Sydney paddler PS Brighton...do you know anything about this?
regards, --Merbabu (talk) 21:00, 19 December 2021 (UTC)
- [1] appears a reliable source confirming the identity.
- no evidence of conversion - just re-boilered in 1900.
- no idea about a connection with PS Brighton.

Categories
[edit]Can't say I really agree with it but it is the established and I believe correct procedure but if a ship article is moved to a new name then the categories on the article should reflect the whole life of it's service under all names and not just the appropriate ones for that name ie the redirect categories are insufficient Lyndaship (talk) 14:16, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Is there another way to show the appropriate name in the category?: eg Saturn in Category:Caledonian MacBrayne rather than Orcadia. She never operated for CalMac under the latter name. Finavon (talk) 14:24, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Not that I know of! That's the reason I don't agree with the policy. The counter argument is that somebody alighting on the Orcadia page from a Saturn link or directly will find the Caledonian MacBrayne category below to search for further ships of the company Lyndaship (talk) 14:29, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- I conceed you know more about ship articles, but is this not an exception covered by "Sometimes a redirect is placed in an article category because the form of the redirected title is more appropriate to the context of that category" (from Wikipedia:Redirect#Categorizing_redirect_pages)? The ship name at the time is appropriate to the operator/owner category. I used the Kilbrannan categoryisation as justification, but now see I put it there in 2012! In this case, the lists in Template:Caledonian_MacBrayne_ships allow someone to find further company ships. Finavon (talk) 14:54, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- I agree with what you have done but I thought it best to point out that I believed it's not iaw policy. I recall having this discussion before and my POV which accords with yours was shot down in flames. This convention is supported by the example of USS Bang in WP:SHIPS-CAT. The policy you quote at Wikipedia:Redirect#Categorizing_redirect_pages could be interpreted as when categories should (also) be added to a redirect. However WP:INCOMPATIBLE suggests to me that the category should only appear on the redirect in these cases. Having said that I'm not going to change what you've done or open a more general discussion Lyndaship (talk) 15:32, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks. Happy with that. Finavon (talk) 08:20, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
