Template is being used

Template {{Israel Railways line}} serves a very specific purpose. If you wish to create a line diagram, start your own with another name. Why would you do that! Secondarywaltz (talk) 21:57, 17 April 2015 (UTC)

Very sorry, I wasn't aware of its use. Thanks for reverting. Mliu92 (talk) 01:16, 18 April 2015 (UTC)

I see where it's being transcluded now; would it help to add some commentary markup to keep other editors from potentially breaking the template again? I had something in mind like this:

<noinclude>
Do not modify this template. It is transcluded on Israel Railways 
station pages as part of the routebox.
</noinclude>

Hmm, appears to be the Outokompu flash smelting process – interesting, and I'm working on it. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 16:59, 22 July 2015 (UTC)

Looks good. May you please remove the (unnecessary) <tspan> elements, that I can translate the scheme with <switch> elements?--Kopiersperre (talk) 13:44, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! I've added the electrolysis process, have removed the extraneous <tspan> elements, and am working on a vector form for the flash smelting process. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:36, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

How does this look? Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:45, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Looks good. Thank you very much! I would like to learn, how you've done it with Inkscape. I can just change small things, but I can't vectorize.

What are green poles (in the EPA scheme)? And I'm lacking a good translation for calcine in German.--Kopiersperre (talk) 15:03, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

@Kopiersperre: Thanks! I like your oven picture.

I have some background with graphics (as an engineering student twenty years ago, I learned drafting, and later taught myself Adobe Illustrator to create some schematics for my thesis) but the Inkscape tutorial (unfortunately not in German) is a pretty solid introduction, and volunteering on the Graphics Lab has helped – even if I didn't finish the request before someone else took it up, just working on it taught me some valuable tricks.

According to wikipedia, green poles (specifically, the sap from freshly-cut tree wood) were used in the conversion process as an alternative reducing agent to remove oxygen.

Is Röstgut a good translation for calcine? I'm basing this from comparing the English with the Deutsch version of the same educational webpage from the Copper Institute.

Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:18, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

As using green poles is very historic – can I remove it? The "ore concentrates" influx after calcine should also be removed. In the original it's a bypass for ores, which need no roasting. Cheers --Kopiersperre (talk) 17:48, 30 July 2015 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, I removed green poles and the extra ore concentrates, tidied up the placement of some of the text as well. I also added "Röstgut" for calcine, but please make sure I did not break any of the German translation. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 16:03, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Thanks again. "Röstgut" is fine.

May I ask, how you ended up in editing Wikipedia articles?--Kopiersperre (talk) 18:14, 31 July 2015 (UTC)

Going back? The first browsers came out while I was an undergraduate, and one of the first things I read on the web was Philip Greenspun's Travels with Samantha – once I entered graduate school, that site inspired me into setting up my own website (now defunct, since it was a student account). One of the things I set up was a reference site for the Nikon F camera. Before the web I would devote what felt like hours tracking down library references and obscure books to dig up little bits of information on my first and favorite camera. I figured I had already labored to do the research, so why not share the fruits of that labor? I set up a small website which eventually attracted some traffic because there just wasn't that much information out there. Even today it's one of the external links on the Wikipedia article (I just checked, it's not an article that I've edited).

Fast-forward maybe ten years after that and I've got some free time at work, I start reading Wikipedia ... and reading ... and reading. This is the same sort of thing I was aiming for all those years ago: sharing information freely, only now Wikipedia has set up a real structure and tools to get quality work done. I started nibbling at Wikipedia editing here and there as I saw things that seemed very wrong, and that would lead to thoughts like "Well, this article is nice but it could be better if ..." or "Well, this is tagged with a 'citation needed' tag, maybe there's a news article ... ?"

Korean flags

As I saw your work on Korean flags at the graphics lab, I remembered an issue I posted at the german graphics lab last year that was not fulfilled completely:

• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Army (1992–1993).png Military
• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Army (1992–1993).svg Military (with writing)
• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Army Ground Force (1993-2023).svg Army
• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Army Ground Force (2012-2023).svg Army flag (with writing)
• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Navy (1993–2023).svg Navy
• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Navy (2012-2023).svg Naval ensign (with writing, harmonized)
• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Army Air Force.svg (1993-2023).svg Air Force
• 
  Flag of the Korean People's Army Air Force (2012-2023).svg Air Force ensign (with writing)

The flags of the army, [navy, was already done] and airforce lack the following text[1][2]:

   조국의 통일 독립과
   인민의 자유와 해방을 위하여.

The flag of the military does not exist yet as an SVG, it contains the following text:

   조국의통립과
   인민을위하여

Can you correct the flags?--Antemister (talk) 20:00, 13 September 2015 (UTC)

@Antemister: I've harmonized the size and writing style for the three branch-service flags. According to FOTW, the top line characters in the KPAN ensign are in navy blue, but I couldn't find a photographic reference to back it up. Changing the color of those characters is fairly simple, though.

The KPA flag will take a little more care, but I think I can handle it as well, although it will take me some time to trace the emblem. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:41, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

I found a vector source for the DPRK emblem, which made this approximately 1,000,000× faster than retracing a blurry GIF. That should complete all the requested flags. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 22:09, 14 September 2015 (UTC)

Thank you, now the images are correct, I'll nominate the original files for deletion then. Did you really start to vectorize the emblem?--Antemister (talk) 10:51, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

My workflow is generally to put up a raster copy and trace directly over that. I had the raster set up and ready to go, but then I thought I should check for a better (higher resolution) copy of the emblem, which is when I found the vector emblem on Commons – thankfully. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 13:30, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Actually, FOTW is the general source for flag information, but not the most reliable one. Original photos are much better ones, so you are right using the photos as reference. Can you speak/write Korean?--Antemister (talk) 21:00, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, and unfortunately, no, I have no Korean literacy. My wife can read Hangul but that's limited to being able to pronounce the words correctly, since it's a phonetic setup. The high-res photo has fairly stylized characters but I'm fairly confident the substitutes are correct. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 22:02, 15 September 2015 (UTC)

You do beautiful work!

Do you take requests?--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 05:55, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

@Kintetsubuffalo: Thanks! I'm looking at the Benin flag now and scratching my head a little – I need to figure out how to get a varying line thickness into Inkscape. Let me know what you have in mind, and leave some description on my talk page. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 16:52, 20 September 2015 (UTC)

File:38 inf div -vector.svg

Hey there,

First, let me say kudos for the vectorization of the 38th Division's Second World War flash. Secondly, a request. Looking at the three version's available on the Imperial War Museum's website, they appear to be much more yellow than the shade you have used. Is it possible you can amend the colour? Kind regards, EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 19:54, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

@EnigmaMcmxc: Thanks, I wasn't quite satisfied with the yellow either. I edited the file to be a bit 'richer' in color. At the moment it looks like Commons needs a little more time to process the change, but if it hasn't updated after a few hours, I'll re-upload the amended file. The old yellow color was (hex) value #f4cd71 as set by eyedropper against the cited IWM raster file, although that was a guess, since the fabric texture meant there's several shades of yellow to choose from. At the moment I'm going with value #fd3 as the new yellow color – basically this reduces the blue channel which makes the yellow less "gray". Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:04, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks very much for the change, it looks great! Kind regards EnigmaMcmxc (talk) 23:16, 8 December 2015 (UTC)

US Population Density Map

You created a pretty interesting map to display population density that currently appears on a couple of pages about state populations. I think that there is one minor issue with it though, it appears to have Colorado and Wyoming mixed up.

Jamo2008 (talk) 19:56, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for What's in Wikipedia graphic

I should have checked on the workshop page earlier. I spent much of today trying to get the right colors in place on my own, and came up with something almost as good as yours, without text of course. I guess I was 2 days late and a dollar short.

So it's great! I shouldn't ask for more. But if you want to make it even better, here's what I suggest.

• All the labels look quite busy and a bit confusing. Is it possible to put the labels for the subcats actually on top of the "books" in a low-key color similar to (lighter or darker) than the "books"?
• Could you lighten the cross-hatching for the sports so that you can see the colors underneath better?
• Perhaps there could be two lines coming from the label "Sport" one to the bios and one to "Society"
• The "GEO, W" green should probably be lighter
• The colors for "BDP, F" and "BLP, F" are very close making it hard to read - could you distinguish them better?
• The subcat labels could be shortened a bit to fit on top of the books better, e.g. 1990-, 1991+, East and West (for GEO), probably "Ed" instead of "SOC, E"
• The black lines outside of the bookcase could be removed.

As I said, it's great as it is, so I won't ask for more after this - I promise.

Thanks again,

Smallbones_(smalltalk) 05:28, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

@Smallbones: I don't mind the requests – this is an interesting request, and thanks for taking on the hard work of actually pulling the numbers together. Without the data, all the picture would be is a picture. I'll incorporate the comments, but it may take a little while – I'm traveling on business and may not have enough time in the evenings to work on it uninterrupted. I will get an updated version to you by the end of the week.

@Smallbones: I had some downtime during the meetings today and I tweaked the picture slightly – please let me know what you think. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 22:11, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

@Mliu92: fantastic! As good as I could have imagined at the start. My only quibble is now the gray lines in the hatching for sports are a bit too hard to read. Maybe it should be black lines but thinner than in the 1st iteration. In any case, I'll use the current graphic proudly, my job is now to get the write-up to look so good. Thanks. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 00:07, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

@Smallbones: simple enough to fix! Let me know what you think. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 00:26, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Perfect! Great job! I couldn't ask for better. Thank you very much. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 02:23, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

Please see User talk:Jimbo Wales for 1 use of the graphic. I've tried to annotate the graph with percentages. I thought it was done, but I can't get it to show up. Playing around with purging now. Thanks again. Smallbones_(smalltalk) 19:12, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Minor edits

Hi Mliu92. I'm sure it was inadvertent, but I want to note that you marked this edit as a minor edit; it was not. In glancing over your recent edits, I see that almost all are marked as minor, even the substantive ones. I wonder if there's a technical glitch because, as far as I know, the ability to mark edits as minor by default no longer exists. Rivertorch^FIRE_WATER 18:43, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

@Rivertorch: thanks and sorry – I have a (self-deprecating) habit of marking nearly everything as a minor edit. Looking at Help:Minor edit, though, that's clearly not the intent of that checkbox, and I wasn't trying to avoid further review [nearly all of my edits are substantiated by links to newspapers or other sources]. I'll mark it appropriately in the future. Thanks again. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 18:58, 15 February 2017 (UTC)

Caltrain Express

Hey there, I saw your new article at Caltrain Express and just wanted to commend you for your incredible work in writing the article! If you get the chance, you should recommend it to WP:DYKN for more exposure on the front page! A topic like this has a wealth of trivia on which to draw from! Anyway, I was actually going to start a draft of Caltrain electrification in my sandbox, but seeing as you recently created this article, I wanted to run it by you first and ask if you were already working on a draft. Again, good work! --haha169 (talk) 04:27, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haha169: Thanks for the kind words and recommendation; I'll follow up with Did You Know at some point. As you suspected, I have a draft for electrification started as CalMod (I'm still doing research on the origins and have traced it as far back as CTX – originally, it looks like it was all one mega-project including DTX, which I'm also drafting. I had actually started DTX first, but then kept finding hints and intentions for the Downtown Extension dating back well over a century, and electrification is really just the latest wrinkle for that. Are you a Caltrain rider? It's part of my daily commute, which got me started thinking about the history of the service, so that's when I started my first article on local train service, which eventually became Dumbarton Rail Corridor.

Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 14:06, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I posted my draft up at Electrification of Caltrain and I welcome you to add whatever research you've found! It looks like CalMod is the overarching program for electrification, CTX, and DTX, among others, and could merit its own article as well. I am a Caltrain rider! Well, when I am in the Bay Area, at least, which is currently not often. But Caltrain is what got me really interested in public transportation issues wherever it is I currently am, so I give it credit for that. Goodness, I've never seen the Dumbarton Rail Corridor article before either, and that is truly a piece of work! How long did it take to put all that together? Thank you for all your hard work on this subject, and keep up the good work! --haha169 (talk) 14:15, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haha169: Your new article looks great! I think CalMod won't need its own article – I'll copy the new electrification article into my sandbox and edit it to add in CBOSS/PTC and some of the earlier history/planning; once I copy over the new edits, we could probably rename the new article to "Caltrain Modernization Program" as that's the official name of the project, which has two main sub-projects: PCEP (Peninsula Corridor Electrification) and CBOSS; CalMod even has its own logo. DRC was approximately three weeks, on and off, especially since some of the older information is getting buried in linkrot. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 14:42, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

I look forward to see how it looks! Are you sure CalMod wouldn't need its own article? If the scope were only electrification and CBOSS, then it could be merged with the electrification article; but your research sounds like the project also includes elements of CTX and DTX and others, and from there it can only get more complicated organization-wise. So it might be simpler to have a main CalMod overview article and separate, more detailed articles for the individual projects that have enough notability to merit them, which probably only excludes CBOSS. However, I'm just thinking aloud, this all depends on how your CalMod article turns out! Good luck!

Oh, and are you a graphic designer? The way you pump out those vector graphics - especially for Dumbarton Rail, are really impressive! --haha169 (talk) 15:04, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Just an amateur – I'm an engineer at my day job. My thought (not confirmed yet) is the FRA waiver to run EMUs over the electrified line depends on CBOSS. I need to read the waiver carefully. PTC was mandated in the wake of the 2008 Metrolink crash, and CBOSS was intended to be Caltrain's way to meet the PTC requirements. However, I think PCEP and CBOSS are inextricably linked through the FRA waiver: no CBOSS = no EMUs since the Peninsula Corridor still has Union Pacific freight trains running over it, and the lighter-weight EMUs aren't built as redundantly heavy as the existing diesel push/pull coaches for Caltrain. Also, since Caltrain has them lumped together I thought it should be in the same article. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:13, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haha169: I've blended our ledes together and adopted the main article history, check it out here. I'll continue to work on adding CBOSS details and expanding the 1992–2012 period. I may need to add another sub-section to describe the FRA waiver.

Sorry, we edit conflicted. Here was a comment that I was planning on leaving: Yep, I also think the FTA waiver is the bit that would tie the CBOSS in with the electrification project. As for CalMod as a whole, is it just those two projects or does it also incorporate CTX and DTX? If it were just the latter two, the article could be left as is while incorporating CBOSS; but including CTX and DTX would probably merit a separate article, along with a longer history detailing how those projects came to be and became tied together under CalMod. The Caltrain article strangely has two sections on electrification. I originally wanted to target that article for improvement years ago but it was too daunting. --haha169 (talk) 15:35, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

The proposed article looks good! One thing, I think "Caltrain origins" might be better worded as "Background" and I'm not sure if years are necessary in the headings. After CBOSS is included in the history, design, and funding, this would make a good article! --haha169 (talk) 15:41, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

@Haha169: I agree with your proposals; the years are more of a crutch for me to establish a timeline. As far as I can tell, CalMod is limited strictly to CBOSS and PCEP. CTX was an earlier project and DTX is even earlier (there are newspaper articles from 1911 that speculated a downtown extension for SP was coming soon!). I see the nutshell history of Caltrain and these projects is this:

1. 1863: SF&SJ builds the line
2. 1870: SP purchases the line – this is kind of fuzzy, as it appears a SP-controlled company was the purchaser
3. 1907: Bayshore Cutoff opens, rerouting the line to the east side of San Bruno Mountain. Incidentally, the old right-of-way to San Bruno is being used by BART.
4. 1918: SP opens One Market Street headquarters; shape of the building leads people to speculate it will be the downtown terminal
5. 1950s: Speculation that BART to San Mateo will replace Peninsula Commute
6. 1977: SP wants to discontinue the service, California legislature passes AB1853 to subsidize tickets and keep it going
7. 1980: Caltrans takes over, contracts with SP for operation
8. 1984: Caltrans proposes DTX
9. 1992: PCJPB purchases the right of way, proposes electrification which will facilitate DTX
10. 2000: Caltrain discusses electrification projects with public
11. 2000–2004: CTX funded and built, ridership growth
12. 2005: Caltrain officials privately propose "Caltrain 2025" vision for the future, presented to PCJPB in 2006 and recommends EMUs
13. 201x?: FRA waiver for using EMUs, also includes PTC requirements based on Metrolink crash of 2008
14. 2011: Spectacular budget deficit means Caltrain considers dropping Baby Bullets; realizes without dedicated funding sources (PCJPB is funded by three county transit agencies: SFMTA, samTrans, VTA) and partnerships, no major projects will ever get off the ground
15. 2012: Blended system with CAHSR
16. 2015 and beyond: I think are well-covered now. I'll add more references and CBOSS content as I go.

So I'll continue to work on the expansion of the article, probably this weekend. DTX article at a later date ... Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:54, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

Wow, that's a hefty bit of research! Take your time to get the article off the ground, thanks and good luck! --haha169 (talk) 15:59, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

I just wanted to ask, does the $1.9b electrification price range include CBOSS as well? Additionally, I read Clem's analysis about differing platform heights with HSR and the purchase of custom dual height doors on the Stadler trains. Perhaps this is worth adding as well? I won't be available this weekend, but I'm just tossing these two ideas out for future additions. --haha169 (talk) 05:04, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure the $1.9b includes CBOSS, but that project has run well over budget so I'll have to dig up some sources for the total cost/budget. That will probably go into the still-evolving cost/funding section. Clem's blog has a lot to say about CBOSS in general and I'll be mining it when I go to write up the CBOSS section of the design, as well as the dual-height doors (unlike the European KISSes, the Caltrain KISS will feature four doors per side (!), two low and two high. SF deals with different platform heights with Muni by equipping those LRVs with steps that can be raised or lowered; the subway stops are all high platforms, but there's a good portion of street railway for those routes as well. It would seem to make sense that if (1) HSR is going to use high platforms and (2) Caltrain infrastructure should be interoperable with HSR then lifting/lowering set of stairs would be more appropriate to accommodate staggered rollout of high platforms at all Caltrain stations, rather than having a whole additional set of doors. In talking with Caltrain conductors, door malfunctions are the most common mode of failure (to be fair, we're talking about 20-30 year old equipment) and to double the number of potential failure points ... well, I'm just a rider, right?

In short, both points are good and will go into the Cost/Budget and Rolling Stock sections, respectively. I've briefly updated the history with what I dug up on the 1992 and 1998 electrification reports. I also found the EIR (2004/2009) which will probably go into the design section. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 13:49, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Great work on the history section! There are certain parts that I feel are quite technical and might fit better into the "design" section, under their own subheader as previous designs. You delve deeply into the details of the 1998 Rapid Rail Study and the collision mitigation, for example, both of which I believe are better suited for design. Let me know what you think! --haha169 (talk) 05:33, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, I appreciate the feedback and I'll be the first to admit I tend to get wrapped up in technical details (as an engineer ...). I've updated the draft but won't update the main article (otherwise I might lose those details) until I get the "Design" section under better control (right now it's just a bunch of sketchy information). Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:52, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

No worries! Just giving you the heads up, and again, great work! If you don't mind, I might do some re-organization in the coming week if I have time.--haha169 (talk) 05:05, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks again, and please do not hold back any changes for my sake as the design section will take a bit of time to rework. I'll keep plugging away at it in the meantime. The history section is done (except for the planned move of some 92/98/06 content to Design. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 21:09, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

Hey, just a heads up, but I'm afraid that the article is just getting too long. The WP:SIZE guideline says, "Articles that cover particularly technical subjects should, in general, be shorter than articles on less technical subjects. While expert readers of such articles may accept complexity and length provided the article is well written, the general reader requires clarity and conciseness. There are times when a long or very long article is unavoidable, though its complexity should be minimized. Readability is a key criterion." Now, this is just a guideline, but there are parts of the history section that I believe is simply too detailed. Much can be moved to the design section, but other parts, such as the discussion on the Atherton hold-out rule, is simply too detailed. A list of the six firms that qualified to bid for PCEP is not necessary, just the number and the winner. Things like that.

I want to reiterate that I really appreciate all the hard work and research that you have put into this article. But at over 80KB, this article is really too big for its limited scope, and what we are striving for is readability for a general audience, and these blocks of text kind of hinder that. --haha169 (talk) 14:56, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Update I've gone ahead and trimmed the article and moved some elements from history into design. I don't believe I removed anything critical, but if I did, please feel free to add it back in! Please let me know if there is any disagreement over the restructuring. --haha169 (talk) 16:22, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

@Haha169: Thanks again for the attention and I do appreciate the editing. As I've said before, as an engineer I'm all about technical details and trivia so I lose sight of the big picture, and I've never studied the Manual of Style in detail, so I wasn't aware of the size guidelines.

I'll work my ever-evolving draft to parallel the existing article and let me know what else I should move into the Design section. At the moment I'm block copy-and-pasting the technical detail into Design: Evolution with some minor edits to make the relocated details hang together. That means that sub-section is 90% complete, but the remainder of "Design" is still very rough. Should I stop adding to the "Design" section completely? If it's overall article length that's an issue, there's still quite a bit of content that could be added to "Design" and I'll discontinue work; on the other hand, if a slimmer "History" is okay, then I'll continue working to add to "Design" instead. My thought is: lede (summary length; if it's interesting, the reader will go on to History); history (social history, reduced technical content; if interested, the reader will go on to Design); design (technical details for the very interested reader).

Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 16:29, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Personally, I think design is where it is okay to get more in-depth (but not too much so). In the end, Wikipedia is a general resource encyclopedia. This essay, while not an official rule, presents a pretty good case for what should be included. In the end, what you want to add is up to you, but just consider that "readers might lose interest when a portion of an article goes into too much detail on one specific aspect" and if what you're adding might contribute to that.

So no, don't stop adding to "Design" completely. Please continue adding, but keep the length and overly detailed elements at bay. --haha169 (talk) 17:15, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks! That is an excellent essay and I understand where my personal preferences could result in an overly-long article which would be interesting to a (very) limited audience. I've carried through a few more edits to the live article to reduce some irrelevant/redundant details and may add a paragraph or two on PCEP infrastructure in the near future (talking about the need for a longer overtake based on the CHSRA "blended plan" and some technical details on electrification structures and substations), but I'm happy with the article as it stands now. Thanks for your edits and guidance, again. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 17:49, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for understanding and for your continued edits! I agree that the design section might need a mention on overtake tracks. Good luck! :) --haha169 (talk) 02:26, 7 April 2017 (UTC)

Regarding the new "PCEP" section in "Design" there are several elements that are already directly mentioned in the section directly above. My suggestion would be to is to add Point Lick, the 130-140 miles of overhead contact wires, and the sentence on barriers into the relevant areas of the first paragraph of "Design", and omit the rest of the first paragraph (as it is either repeat information or quite detailed) and spinoff the second paragraph into a separate section on overtake tracks...although remember that the scope of this article is the modernization project, not the HSR compatibility project, so we shouldn't dive too much into detail about the latter.

Lastly, there is a discrepancy that needs to be fixed. Is the electrification project 49mi or 51mi? --haha169 (talk) 12:05, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

I took a swing at consolidating the information in the "design" section. The FEIR indicates electrification extends somewhat south of Tamien (Figure 2-1), whereas the UP agreement indicates PCEP ends at San Jose (Tamien, milepost 49.2). The UP agreement does mention CP Lick (milepost 51.4) as the end of the PCJPB-owned right-of-way, and that Caltrain will not pursue electrification south of CP Lick, so that's how I came up with 51 miles.

Great work on synthesizing the two parts together! I ask about this inconsistency because the lead says 49 and design says 51 and they need to be the same. I have changed the lead to reflect the 51 miles from this source. Again, thanks for all your hard work! --haha169 (talk) 14:20, 9 April 2017 (UTC)

Flags of former Belgian municipalities

Hello! I have seen that you found out what the flag of Laeken was and was wondering where you found the flag of a former municipality, do you know where to find more? Greetings, Frostpunk (talk) 23:27, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

@Frostpunk: The flag of Laeken was described as a request from the Graphics Lab; I did not have any other source to go on. By the time I picked up the request, another person had proposed colors, so it was a simple matter of making a 3:4 rectangle divided in thirds horizontally. In general, Flags of the World has the best resources/dedicated research on municipal flags, but I'm not sure if they would have flags of former municipalities.

Station abbreviations in List of Caltrain stations

Hey there, I really liked the upgrades you made to the list! I just have one question, why did you put the column for station abbreviations in? Even if they are official, I've never encountered them before in real life, so I was wondering what importance it brings to the list? --haha169 (talk) 06:44, 26 January 2018 (UTC)

@Haha169: When the Caltrain twitter account publishes status updates (for instance, after accidents occur on the line), they tend to use the three-letter abbreviations to communicate. See, for instance this update from 5:25 pm on January 25, 2018, which gives trains affected, the direction they're traveling, current locations, and deviation from published schedule. The three-letter abbreviations are not what I always expect and do not conform with other abbreviations used locally (for instance, the Google Bus on US 101 to Mountain View will advertise itself as "GBUS TO MTV"; Caltrain calls it MVW instead) so I thought there was some value in including the abbreviations.

Proposed deletion of File:Flower Drum Song (1961 film soundtrack).jpg

The file File:Flower Drum Song (1961 film soundtrack).jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Flower Drum Song (film)#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:16, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Thank you. I support deletion of the file. Although the album is potentially notable enough to warrant a standalone article, per WP:NALBUM it appears there is insufficient material to separate the album from the larger article on the film. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:41, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

VTA Light Rail

Are they serious? They're discontinuing service on the Purple branch entirely, and no through service to downtown on either of the northern branches? That seems like a great way to discourage ridership. (No criticism to you, though - you're doing an excellent job adding the proposals to the article!) Pi.1415926535 (talk) 18:14, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

History of VTA light rail corridor construction, 1987-2005+

@Pi.1415926535: It's motivating me to go ride the Almaden Shuttle sometime before it disappears, but they've threatened it multiple times in the past. The beauty of a SVG map is it enables many different variations with relatively low investment, time-wise. I think that after they opened Tasman West they had always intended to run the top stroke of the T as one line, and Tasman-Santa Teresa as another. My personal geography is - I live near SFO and commute to South Bay via Caltrain, then bike in from Sunnyvale. If it's raining, I can transfer to VTA at Mtn View and ride my bike to work from either Great America/Levi's Stadium or Component within 10-20 minutes (VTA routing is WEIRD), but I can also ride from Caltrain/Santa Clara in the same amount of time, so VTA just isn't a great option for me unless I'm visiting my parents (which means riding to Cottle), and even then, I'd almost rather ride my bike from Diridon just to avoid the downtown crush on VTA.

But yeah, one source I read (from 2009) stated it cost $500K/year to run the Alamaden Shuttle without counting depreciation, and VTA's trying to close a $20M budget gap in 2019, which makes Almaden an easy target. Of the systems I ride on a regular basis, VTA light rail is far less crowded than Muni or Caltrain, and the initiative is supposed to provide more frequent service to denser areas (both population and jobs), which seems like a reasonable goal, but Santa Clara County isn't that dense to begin with. Unfortunately, the VTA light rail system was originally planned in the complete opposite manner (built along sparse corridors in order to attract businesses and homes, which is only now starting to come true), is saddled with speed restrictions in downtown San Jose (where the trains basically run on the sidewalks), and VTA is learning, as samTrans did twenty years ago, that BART extensions are neither inexpensive nor on-schedule. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 20:40, 4 March 2019 (UTC)

Hmm, I can see the financial case for mothballing the shuttle line, though I'm inclined to think it'd make much more sense to run it through to downtown as the 2010 plan proposed. Practically, abandoning a rail service tends to be difficult - it's very easy bait for lawsuits. But VTA seems to have no sense whatsoever how to build a useful light rail system - they're going after the ridiculous Capitol extension rather than far more obvious corridors.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!

Hello,

Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!

From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.

If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.

Thank you!

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Ping Yuen

Excellent work! Are you planning to submit it for DYK by any chance? If not, do you mind if I do?

Regards, HaeB (talk) 13:42, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

@HaeB: Thanks! I typically do not do any of the admin stuff like DYK or GA review, so please feel free to do so. I do respond to review/edit requests, though, like for Talk:Golden Dragon massacre. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 14:46, 20 April 2020 (UTC)

Done. By the way, while I think the History section is a great read, it might risk veering into WP:SYNTH territory in some spots - it's best to cite sources that make a direct connection to the article's subject. Regards, HaeB (talk) 15:18, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks - I wanted to give a little background on why it was significant (Chinatown has always [and still has] an unfair reputation as a filthy place, with overcrowding and disease), but the two preamble paragraphs before the first level-3 header under History could be removed without impacting the article. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:26, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

Thanks so much for checking my Ping Yuen photo uploads ;)

Since you wrote about the murals in the article, would you be able to identify the ones shown on these two shots? It certainly looks like some zodiac animals and wise people, but I wasn't able to confirm online that these are indeed by Josie Grant. (Note that West Ping Yuen has a lot more murals on the back side.)

PS: I wonder if Edmunddantes might have some historical photos related to Ping Yuen.

Regards, HaeB (talk) 07:47, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@HaeB: All three of those photos are part of Bok Sen by Josie Grant. I believe the only murals that are visible on WPY and EPY are by Grant. She had a mural on CPY as well but that was painted over in the late 90s by accident, so the only mural on CPY is the one by Mar. I like the Pixel camera as well – now on my third generation (Pixel 1, 2, and 3XL). I wish there were a better/more automated perspective control function like HugIn but Snapseed does a credible job. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 14:45, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Thanks - the style certainly looks similar. But in that case, it seems that something at Ping Yuen#Public art needs updating, because it says that Bok Sen ... is outside the fence, and the murals on the three photos linked above are all behind the fence.

Point taken about perspective control. I'm trying to limit the time spent on post-processing (which has helped with so far keeping my new year's resolution for 2020 to upload at least one photo per week from my huge backlog ...). But I'm already using GIMP on desktop occasionally for e.g. rotation and color correction, will take a look at its perspective control tool as well.

Regards, HaeB (talk) 15:32, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

My favorite "Chinatown" lenses are super-wide/PC lenses (PC-Nikkor 28/4, Nikkor 18/4). During the lockdown I also dug up my ancient Nikkor 15/5.6 and hopefully I'll have a chance to get up there again. I still need a better image for Chinese Hospital. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 15:40, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Also I'm sure you're aware of it, but note there are potential copyright issues with photographing murals in the US due to freedom of panorama rules. Works installed between 1925 and 1978 (Grant's murals on WPY) probably fall under an exception, since there is no informational plaque claiming authorship, but they have been restored several times since 1978, so I'm not sure. Grant's later mural on EPY can't be reproduced, as it was painted well after 1978. I learned about this after uploading a number of Banksy murals in SF that are on flickr to Commons.

Non-free rationale for File:Flag of the Commonwealth of Nations (1976).svg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Flag of the Commonwealth of Nations (1976).svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Replaceable fair use File:Irene Yah-Ling Sun (2017).png

Thanks for uploading File:Irene Yah-Ling Sun (2017).png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.

I will keep working on AstroWorld as it intersects neatly with several interests of mine (Randall Duell [designed my "local" park, California's Great America], theme parks in general, transportation, vanished architecture) - I will definitely use some of the sources you added on the article's talk page. For me, I'd like to get a little more historical detail from ~1975 through 2005 into this article, as it kind of jumps between those two years. Incidentally, I think we've bumped into each other mostly over art in San Francisco - I expanded Dragon Gate (San Francisco) recently with a little more history. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 19:25, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Mliu92, Yes! I've been enjoying your additions to Dragon Gate (San Francisco), and I hope you have this on your Good article radar as well. I'm glad you're finding early history information for Six Flags AstroWorld. Most of what was there before was based on more recent online sources; the early history content make the section more well-rounded and interesting. I'm still concerned about some of the question marks and blank cells, but I know this is a work in progress. I mean no offense, I'm just trying to keep the entry most appropriately sourced, given the very poor quality before the recent overhaul. Again, I'm thrilled to see your work on this entry and others, keep up the great work! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 19:39, 13 July 2021 (UTC)

Woohoo, the AstroWorld nom finally got picked up! ---Another Believer _(Talk) 15:36, 2 December 2021 (UTC)

Yay! Looking forward to supporting edits for this page. Weird that folks keep trying to tie the AstroWorld festival (which shares the name only; as far as I can tell the actual venue is one of the Reliant Stadium parking lots, not the vacant field/parking where AW used to be) into this article when there's already a standalone article for that particular tragedy.

Recent work on Transportation Technology Center

Hello, thank you for your contributions here. I noticed your recent edits on the TTCI wiki and could use your support. The Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) Transportation Technology Center (TTC) is a federal facility, whereas Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI) is a research and engineering organization separate from but currently headquartered at the FRA TTC. TTCI is the current contracted custodian of the FRA TTC, though ENSCO will assume custody in late 2022. A disambiguation is necessary, and it seems best to pull the existing content from the TTCI wiki page onto a dedicated FRA TTC wiki page.

Ah, I understand. I've made some edits to the Transportation Technology Center, Inc. page that clarify the relationship and hopefully provides a roadmap to have information copied into a Transportation Technology Center page instead. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 22:15, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Jorts the cat (2022).jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Jorts the cat (2022).jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. — Mhawk10 (talk) 20:22, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Rivian Amazon Custom EDV.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Rivian Amazon Custom EDV.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy.

Titan submersible

Against one of your recent edits you have commented "Took mass out, as it does not accurately reflect displacement. Rush commented that using carbon fiber allowed OceanGate to eliminate the use of syntactic foam for buoyancy, so the displacement is presumably greater than the stated mass". Firstly, 10,432kg is Titan's mass (or weight, colloquially speaking). Changing it to displacement was an error. The only data in this regard come from OceanGate's own specification sheet, which gives Titan's weight (or mass, scientifically) as 10,432kg. There are no citable data regarding Titan's submerged displacement. Secondly, you've said "the displacement is presumably greater than the stated mass". While this is emminently desirable for a surface ship/boat, it's an extremely undesirable characteristic for a submersible. How would it ever submerge? 2A00:23EE:2120:27FF:1010:6E3A:FC2D:C806 (talk) 00:44, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

@2A00:23EE:2120:27FF:1010:6E3A:FC2D:C806 There does not appear to be an infobox entry for mass, so I've commented the value out for now. Most metal-hulled submersibles are covered with foam to maintain positive buoyancy and carry ballast to descend, then release the ballast to ascend. the only difference for Titan was it did not require additional foam, as I understand it and as cited in the 2019 Smithsonian article: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/worlds-first-deep-diving-submarine-plans-tourists-see-titanic-180972179/ Pogue stated that Titan carried lead pipes as ballast. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 00:59, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Even with ballast, it appears that buoyancy was close to neutral. It is mentioned that Rush had to drive the vertical thrusters to overcome buoyancy during his first solo dive in 2018. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 01:02, 28 June 2023 (UTC)

Hi Mliu92, thanks again for your recent batch of Pixel images. I noticed that File:Google Pixel 8 Pro back (Obsidian).svg has a much darker "G" logo that is quite hard to make out unless you zoom in. It's also much darker than File:Google Pixel 8 back (Obsidian).svg, File:Google Pixel 7 Pro back (Obsidian).svg, and File:Google Pixel 6 Pro back (Stormy Black).svg. Could you kindly adjust the brightness? Thanks! InfiniteNexus (talk) 19:02, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

On a related note, could you also create images for the Pixel Watch 2? The colors are up on the article now. Since the design is pretty much identical to the first-gen and the colors are pretty much the same, really the only image we need is that of the new Polished Silver + Bay color.

Speedy deletion nomination of Southern Pacific 4451

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Southern Pacific 4451 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion discussion, at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Southern Pacific 4451. When a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after a discussion, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Caltrain Modernization Program

With the first electric trains entering revenue service this Sunday, and full conversion to electric service by late September, Caltrain Modernization Program could probably use an update. The design section is mostly in the future tense, and there's a few specific statements that are out of date. Since you got it to GA, would you be able to do the updates sometime in the next few weeks? Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:46, 10 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks again for the awesome Pixel graphics! That was fast — I haven't even had time to finish setting up the articles! InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:21, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Lillian Alling and dog on Telegraph Trail.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Lillian Alling and dog on Telegraph Trail.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of non-free use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
2. On the file's talk page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 21 September 2024 (UTC)

Update map

Hi! As the creator of File:SD Trolley with Blue Line Extension.svg, would you mind updating the file to show the new Copper Line, which has replaced Green and Orange lines service between El Cajon and Santee? Thank you! OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 01:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know -- the file has been updated with the Copper Line. It has been more than ten years since I lived in San Diego so I haven't been keeping up. Cheers, Mliu92 (talk) 14:09, 1 October 2024 (UTC)

No problem! Thank you for updating the map file! OrdinaryScarlett (talk) 17:59, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
