Sure, the infobox contained 2 died criteria which was causing the death date and age to not show up. I hope that helps but please let me know if you need anything else--Kumioko (talk) 17:50, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not bad; you weren't stringent enough, though, in removing the string of tiny snippets from articles about them. That kind of thing is discouraged because of the obvious problems in selecting only the most favorable wording. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:53, 1 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The address is pretty much standard in an infobox. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:51, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I liked the article but I hope you don't mind my cleaning it up a bit. Be careful about leaving wide gaps in the text, which was happening due to the placement of the photo of the theater interior. By shifting it to the left, I was able to eliminate the unsightly stretch of whiteness that was dividing the article.

I also removed the image of one of the productions. Wikipedia rules about the use of images are very stringent, and admittedly I don't always understand them. I do know an image of a stage production or a screenshot is appropriate in the article about the play or film, but elsewhere it's considered unnecessary window-dressing and sooner or later is deleted.

I consolidated a couple of the sections and fixed all your references.

Good luck with your articles devoted to DC theatre. I'm sure they will be a welcome addition to Wikipedia. LiteraryMaven (talk • contrib) 19:54, 5 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ed, I'm glad you found the changes I made helpful. As far as standards defining the importance of an article, I honestly don't know if any exist. What I tend to do is look at the overall picture and ask myself, where does this article fit among all those that fall into its category, in this case theatre? If you consider everything that falls within the so-called "jurisdiction" of the theatre project, the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company ranks on the low side. However, I really wouldn't worry about how you've ranked anything. I have a feeling not too many people pay attention to this. The important thing is to make sure your facts are accurate and properly referenced and the article meets notability guidelines, which Woolly Mammoth certainly does. I hope you have fun with Wikipedia! LiteraryMaven (talk • contrib) 16:27, 6 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The two articles on your relatives are interesting. But I suggest you format them with inline citations, which is the standard. — Rlevse • Talk • 12:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks in advance

Answer You're missing the filename extension, the ".jpg" part.

The file is called, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company PWYC Line a panorama.jpg.

Therefore, you need;

[[Image:Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company PWYC Line a panorama.jpg|left|thumb|Woolly Mammoth PWYC Line]]

Which will display as shown here.

I am attempting my first edit of an article based exclusively on research with no personal knowledge.

The article is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_G._Leiser

I can only find a year of birth, date of death, and age. (Not date of birth)

in the Infobox Military Person i attempted to fudge the birth date using: died= October 17, 2009(2009-10-17) (aged 81)

This yielded the correct age and birth year but yielded the error: Missing required parameter 1=month! , 1927(1927-Missing required parameter 1=month!-00) – October 17, 2009 (aged 81). I assume this has to do with the fact I didn't list a month in the date of birth.

Is there anyway to get an appropriate infobox entry given birth year, death date, and age?

thanks in advance

ed

• Unfortunately, that particular infobox has to have the full date of birth. I would suggest that it is left commented out until the DoB can be found - the date of death is already in the article. -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 18:50, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have added the full date of birth.  Ilyushka88  talk  18:52, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

• Incidently, if you use material from af.mil (which is allowed, as it's in the Public Domain), it is a good idea to add {{Air Force}} in the references, as I have in the Louis G. Leiser article. The Air Force are OK with anyone using their material, but want to be acknowledged, which is what {{Air Force}} does!

I have been making contributions to the Synetic Theater (Arlington, Virginia) article.

I have entered "Current Season Productions" and "Recent Productions" sections. I have provided a single citation for each section. However when I locate the citation on the section name, the citation superscript shows up in the font of the section heading. Is there a way to reduce citation superscript size to the normal size? or is there a preferred location for section wide citations?

You probably should not put the note directly on the header. IN the text is preferred. Intelligentsium 04:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:WashingtonStageGuild logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box.

I have a picture taken in 1944 of Maj Edward Cragg being awarded 9 medals, including the DSC. Since it was taken in the SW Pacific, I assume it was taken by a AAF photographer and is public.

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter (Febrauary 2010)

The WikiProject Theatre Newsletter! Issue 5 - February 2010 Welcome to the latest WikiProject Theatre newsletter (the first in quite a while!) bringing you news of what's going on in the project, what progress we're making, and how you can get involved. Latest News All theatre articles currently tagged with a project banner have now been assessed for quality. There are still plenty to assess for importance, though - see the article assessment page for details. There is now a News section on the main project page, updated automatically to keep us informed of developments in theatre articles. Collaboration of the Month Theatre has been nominated as the next project collaboration. This could be an excellent opportunity to improve the quality of one of our most important articles - listed as one of Wikipedia's top 1000 most vital articles - but it needs a lot of work before it can be considered for even good article nomination! Stop by the collaboration page for tips on how to improve an article, to add your support, or to suggest alternative or future collaborations. Jobs you can do Any and all improvements to theatre-related articles will help the project, but if you're looking for something to do, have a look at the to-do list. Some current areas of priority are: Improving top-importance articles Prioritisation of unknown-importance articles Creation of requested article stubs If you are currently working on a particular topic or area of the project, and would like to muster some support from other editors, feel free to add tasks to the to-do list. Or even think about setting up an informal working group - create a project subpage to organise tasks in a central location. Remember you can always discuss ideas with others at the project talk page. New members The past month has seen Poisonborz, 15lsoucy, LaNaranja and Phaeton23 join us - welcome to you all! If you've been editing a theatre-related article recently and noticed another user helping you who also appears to have an interest for the subject of theatre, why not drop them a line and invite them over to the project? And finally... Don't forget to add the {{User WPTheatre}} userbox to your userpage, and {{WikiProject Theatre}} banner to article talk pages to spread the word about the project!

Earlier today I uploaded the File Lansburgh Theatre Washington DC.jpg for use in the Shakespeare Theatre Company article. It is a 5x7 portrait image, and upon further consideration of it's appearance in the article, I decided that a 5x5 image would be more appropriate. I have recropped the original image but cannot find a way to replace the uploaded image. Is it possible to upload a new version of an image, or must I upload it as a new image?

I would like to move the page Shakespeare Theatre Company to Shakespeare Theatre Company (Washington, D.C.)

The reasons are 1) there are many Shakespeare related theatres and Companies in the world and the Washington one should be distinguished from others 2) The new name would conform to the naming convention of the other theater pages associated with Washington DC region such as:

   * Arena Stage (Washington, D.C.)    * Studio Theatre (Washington D.C.)    * National Theatre (Washington, D.C.)    * Lincoln Theatre (Washington, D.C.) 

I have posted the suggestion on Talk:Shakespeare Theatre Company

questions:

1) How long should I wait for comments on Talk:Shakespeare Theatre Company before moving the page

2) Are there any other steps I should take before moving the page

ed

Ecragg (talk) 21:43, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why not got for a requested move - then there is less likelihood of complaining later - a comment on an article talk page may not be seen for a while, but a requested move ends up in a list that plenty of editors browse, and you may get more comments. The move stays in place for a fixed time, then it gets moved (if the consensus is to move). See WP:RM, leave me a note if you struggle to set it up.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 21:52, 19 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Quick cut and paste for you...

Create a section at the bottom of the talk page of the page you want to be moved. It should be formatted like this:

Good Evening

I have been going over editing instructions and am unable to find a way to do two things:

1) adjust the line spacing (so that lists would not have so much white space between individual lines)

2) merge vertically two cells in a table (so that a first table entry can apply to two or more rows of the table)

Are these tasks doable?

Thanks

ed

Ecragg (talk) 23:26, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Anything is possible :-)

Lists[edit]

For lists, normally we use an asterisk (*) at the start of all lines;

*Apple *Banana *Sausage 

...produces...

That makes a 'standard list'.

If you wanted less white-space than that, then it could be done - using a span tag, or smaller font; but all those things would result in a 'non-standard' layout, and might cause Usability problems.

But, yes; anything can be done; whether it should be done is another matter.

<span style="line-height: 1px;"> Apple  Banana  Sausage </span> </div> 

...produces...

...but using that type of thing in an article would be a bad idea. For one thing, it'd appear differently in different browsers.

Tables[edit]

To span columns, you use 'colspan'.

{|  ! First header ! Second header |- | First column | Second column |- | colspan="2" | Spanning both columns |}

...produces...

For more info on that, see Help:Table.

Please use another {{helpme}} if that doesn't answer. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  00:06, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. Oh, bugger; you meant rows, not columns? Same thing, more or less, with 'rowspan';

{|  ! First header ! Second header |- | First column | Second column |- | rowspan="2" | Sausage | Banana |- |Apple |}

...produces...

1. At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
2. To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
3. To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.

Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)

Hi, thanks for your note. I see what you mean about wanting to give readers a sense of the company. Hmmm, I put "Classic Theater" to give an overview of the whole section, and also because the first paragraph following the header stated their "mission of classic theater". Then there was a list of directors, before getting to the listing of productions in recent seasons and artists. Maybe "Mission and Productions" to cover both aspects? Isn't it a given that they are doing "Theatrical Works"? It's up to you. Excellent article and ambition to cover Washington theater companies.Parkwells (talk) 17:18, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:22, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H. R. 4982 A Petition For Universal Suffrage Susan B. Anthony petition for remission of fine Alexander Hamilton's commission to take rank as Colonel 1Credit goes to Prosody, Theornamentalist, Inductiveload, Digipoke, George Orwell III, Kathleen.wright5, BirgitteSB, and Zhaladshar Tools Archives.gov grabber (Slakr) Future plans Major image contribution The National Archives has hundreds of thousands of digitized documents in its holdings. We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Sorry, I don't edit much right now as I've deployed to Afghanistan. As for your "TAC officer" question, the answer is that it is short for "Tactical Officer", which is a traditional title from years gone by. It is highly likely that someone thought of a nifty acroymn out of TAC, and might even use it in briefings to parents since everything in the Army is supposed to have a meaning, but the reality is that for probably more than 100 years it has just been shorthand for "Tactical". --  Ahodges7   ^talk 23:30, 27 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good Evening.

http://www.issawiki.org/wiki/index.php?title=Angelo_Miele_%28emeritus%29,_Argentina,_United_States contains information on a Dr Angelo Miele, a professor emeritus at Rice University. I think this information should be in Wikipedia, and if it were, I would expand on it.

What would be the easiest way to incorporate this info into a Wikipedia article or should I just plan to write an article from scratch?

ed

Ecragg (talk) 02:05, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting one. The text at issawiki (which, whilst a wiki that apparently uses Wikimedia software, does not appear to be related to the Wikipedia project) is released under the Creative Commons Public Domain licence, which is no longer in use - I'm not sure it would be entirely compatible with Wikipedia's licensing anyway, so I'd recommend writing from scratch. The source used at issawiki (this one) has loads of info, but you'll need one or two more references to get the article past the notability threshold. Hope this helps.

Thanks for uploading File:American Shakespeare Center logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:35, 5 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Shakespeare Theatre Company may have broken the syntax by modifying 2 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 23:55, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
