A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Feat Factory, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No sources to support the notability of 'Fear Factory' if the British team do train their it might be notable but sources are needed.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

{{helpme}} I'm not great at formatting things here. Can someone please move my taekwondo userbox so it sits to the right of File:Taekwondo.svg. Thanks!!! C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 15:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll take a look. --  Chzz  ►  15:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I don't think it can be done. If the image is taken out of the infobox, it can't be put on the right - you can't have text-pic-infobox. If you try, the pic doesn't appear until the end of the infobox, underneath it.

Same problem if I try to put it on the left within the text, because it won't appear until after the infobox.

Can you clarify what you're trying to do? Is it because you think the infobox is too long, with the picture and the logo?

--  Chzz  ►  15:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Adding:

I've played around with the infobox template formatting, and the only way to get the 2 images side-by-side is by messging about with the code that is generated by the infobox template. That means not using the template directly, therefore if the template got updated this particular page would have to be changed manually. I don't think that's a good idea.

One proposed solution would be to use image editing to make a single image file that contains both the logo and the picture. That might be the best answer.

If I can help further, please leave me comments on my own talk page.

I have an outline of a lengthy and legitimate article at User:THF/Obama with not a single "nutball conspiracy theory" in it. I'll draft it off-wiki this weekend. I encourage editors to participate in this project by sending me sources (or perhaps fully drafted paragraphs) rather than battling at DRV or on the Talk:Obama page about intermediate stages.

I would like some assistance using the "Recent IP edits" function, as at the moment I cannot use the roll-back feature in a new tab/window - each time I attempt to revert vandalism I have to click "back" to return to the page, which as I'm sure you are all aware is extremely inefficient and defeats the object of the tools. I'm also unsure of how to use the warnings feature, and how to select different grades of warning template. Thanks, C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 07:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ok so the rollback function seems to be working quite nicely (although half the time it doesn't automatically click save :S). I still can't get the warnings to work.

I've had a shot at fixing this; the relative link might have confused the bot. Give it 24 hours to see if it works.

Hi

Re these unexplained reverts: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Deion is a dab page; Deioneus says "In Greek mythology, Deioneus (Greek: Δηιονεύς) or Deion (Greek: Δηίων) is a name attributed to the following individuals:"; I presumed the article name must be the more "usual" of the two? 58.8.15.66 (talk) 10:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deion is an acceptable alternative for Deioneus, thus you could argue there was no need for you to change it in the first place. That said, you are probably right, so if you wish to change them back again, I won't revert this time. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 10:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To CUTKD: Please understand how your situation looks to an uninvolved administrator. You uploaded photo's of the Olympics that, by virtue of their quality and proximity to the events themselves, it would be quite reasonable to presume were taken from the Press pit; there is no photography date or metainformation. In almost all cases where such characteristics as these are present, the upload is a copyright violation. If you're able to prove to the contrary, then please do so, and by all means, the block will be lifted; but it's unreasonable to "expect a full apology" from all involved when you haven't provided the required information in the first place.
