I've posted a few comments to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Proposed_deletion#Prod_for_templates_idea this], Thanks much for cluing me in. I don't really have the time now to address that idea's place in the overall scheme, but CBD and I exchange a lot of emails, and have few qualms on that proposal, but for the points I raised. Thanks as well for obviously being a good sport. I've been meaning to get here and smooth ruffled feathers I might have raised... I'm very focused on the big picture, and frankly the biggest need from my perspective is a list of guide kind of thing and proper categorization, so people can find the darn things without reinventing the wheel. See usage on {{Template list|lc|cl|ccl|cat|lcs}}, etc. (I see my newest creation {{tl|Template list}} needs a bug or two fixed! I think this is actual 'first use'. I'm just too darned busy trying to get ready for a formal Meta project page on {{tl|interwikitmp-grp}} that, some things are stacked back in other browser tabs/browsers unfinished! I really hate it when a chain of things brings me back to the same matter that hasn't been closed on one of the others. Arrrggghhh. Sometimes I makes me nuts--need to make haste more slowly, I thimk!) Template list does raise another point... nothing should be challengable until it's been around at least a month... maybe two. Some of us (Me, Mel Etitis, David Kernow for some sure one's) need to park wiki matters now and again for lengthy periods. Email notification, or an attempt to do such should be a Prod requirement too. Actually, I want such in all the Xfd's, save perhaps Afd... I've already discussed that cynical pragmatism in the draft Tfd changes I've got unfinished somewhere. At least I know I've also got that saved offline! Gotta run-- my snowblower's down, and the drive needs cleared. Best regards, and thanks again!

Problem with object flag in WPAstronomy template
I noticed that Talk:Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is listed in Category:B-Class Astronomical Objects articles even though "object=no" is in the WPAstronomy template. Could you check this and possibly fix it? It could be a bug in the WPAstronomy template. Thank you, Dr. Submillimeter 21:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- The template doesn't check the value that object is set to; it just checks whether it's been set. Mike Peel 22:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
- OK. This sounds like a feature instead of a bug. Dr. Submillimeter 15:21, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
Possible problem with Mathbot and special characters
Articles such as Valentin Ceauşescu and Włodzimierz Trzebiatowski have been removed from the physics article lists (see the log). They haven't been removed from the physics categories, from what I can see. Has Mathbot taken a disliking to them? Mike Peel 22:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
- I think I fixed that. Thanks a lot for the note! Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 21:41, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Mike,
- I have listed templates included on List of adjectival forms of place names on Templates for Deletion... Your input would be welcome.
Thanks for taking the trouble to inform me; have just left a note at TfD. Regards, David Kernow (talk) 11:44, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Whatever happened to simplicity and ease of use? Is it too much to ask for things to be done logically? Or even for templates to be useful? I don't think that just because something isn't broken, and isn't breaking something else, is enough to justify it being kept.
- Also, "modularity outweights editing convenience" seems nonsensical. Why would you make it modular except to make editing more convenient? Mike Peel 18:25, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry not to've acknowledged the above more promptly; I sense, though, it may've been directed more toward Fabartus. Anyway, just to let you know (1) I've added "Edit this table" links to the templates; and (2) I was suddenly reminded of the other motivation I'd had to create them, when I recently visited some country-related categories: there had been a fair amount of discussion at WP:CfD as to how such categories could/should be named consistently (e.g. whether or not adjectivals were used), so I'd intended to suggest that (some of) these templates could be included on relevant category pages – but only once I'd learned how to make them collapsed by default. I realise now that I lost sight of this idea, thus leaving them used in one place only. Since then I've become aware of a few ways to achieve this hiding/collapsing, so what do you reckon to the idea of including them on category pages...? Yours, David (talk) 01:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mike,
I'm sorry I made a mistake and corrected a mis-spelling of the word 'balloon' in another user's comments. I didn't mean to do any harm - I've only been playing with wikipedia for two days, and I simply made the correction without realising that it was a comment and not an article.
We're quite similar really. I did a Masters in physics with astrophysics, and am now finishing a PhD on the soft x-ray background of the Milky Way.
All the best with your PhD, I hope you have a better time of it than I'm having with mine.
Michelle Supper.
Thanks for the heads up!
