Cam Henderson Center

I have responded to your request for an image of the arena. It ain't the prettiest photo of the exterior (the parking garage from which an excellent photo could be taken is locked for the summer), but it shoudl work for demonstrative purposes. As far as an interior shot, I'll see what I can do when hoops season starts up next winter. Just remind me. youngamerican (talk) 19:32, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, it is much better than nothing. Thanks! -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 19:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: K's welcome

Tnx - I'll try it out soon.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 03:27, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

OK you two...I will try Ashlux's welcome to see how and why mine is now inferior. Heh. Kinda amusing to have ya discussing it. Of course anyone can simply copy it and make it their own as did Ash Lux. For some reason, when I used it, it did not come out the way I wanted it to...a sig was above it and not inside it. Then again, I am no programmer by ANY stretch of the imagination. Oh...and I am glad that others do value welcoming new members in with a good welcome. Thanks for doing that!!! I really believe it can make a difference in our community. Kukini 03:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It is weird it wasn't working, but it might have been the ParserFunctions (which are gone now). Apparently they can cause trouble if you subst them (but why it worked fine for me and others, I have no idea). If it is still a problem for you Kukini, use it on my talk page - maybe seeing what the results are will help. Your welcome looks great, of course. Very good job on it. -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It has been upgraded with your fix as well as one from another editor now. Thanks! I think I might look into adjusting its colors at some point as well. Kukini 13:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

In order to shorten the memory requirements, can we move the template into mainspace, for example as Template:WelcomeKA? Then we could use {{subst:Template:WelcomeKA}}.--Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:31, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Freenode link for WP:1.0

Hi Ashlux,

Thanks for adding a link to the freenode page from the WP:1.0 page, I was wondering where I could find that. However, the link doesn't work. Can you fix it? I'm assuming I don't need to register or anything just to read freenode, do I? Thanks, Walkerma 02:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

If you are running windows, probably the easiest thing to do is to install mIRC. There are other clients out there, but I think mIRC will automatically support the IRC protocol within IE (it doesn't seem to handle it by default in firefox though). If you still have troubles, let me know. -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 03:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info! Walkerma 00:45, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Oklahoma

I noticed that you added some of the Oklahoma-related pages I have created to WikiProject Oklahoma. Please feel free to check my User page's "List of Articles I Have Created" for other pages that may be of interest to WikiProject Oklahoma. --TommyBoy 06:21, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, that's a nice list of things I didn't already have on that list. Never hurts to put a few more OK-related articles in (at least my own) RC patrol. Keep up the good work too! =) -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:49, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

OK stub creation

I was trying to find something about the history of The Gayly Oklahoman, but could not. Thus it is currently a rather brief stub. Just trying to stay active in the wikiproject. Thanks for your ongoing help in the AZ one as well as your welcome message support and so forth. Kukini 13:07, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Your welcome. When my gf gets back from Italy, she said she has some sources that should help (OU's GLBT club has some of their papers that detail their history). -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Project Crossover?

Check this Oklahoma Native out: Ernest McFarland. I am amazed at how few Arizona Governors were actually born in Arizona. Kukini 03:34, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Yah, I went ahead and add the WP:WPOK banner to the talk page and added him to the related-changes page. Any idea just how many Arizona governors were born in the state? -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:18, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma

Your recent edit to Oklahoma City, Oklahoma was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot2 12:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

*sighs* Well, I was trying to add the bottom of the article that got cut off. Copy and pasted the bottom from a previous article as not to revert edits since the article was cut off, but when I hit save the page was entirely gone.  :-( Anyone got any suggestions? Maybe there are some browser issues with FF or something? -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Now that I look at it, my edit was fine, but the bot cleared the page. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Oklahoma_City%2C_Oklahoma&diff=next&oldid=57344059 -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 12:20, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Charles N. Haskell, which you recently nominated, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

James E. Edmondson

I noticed that you have previously edited the article on James E. Edmondson, and I was wondering if I could get your opinion on something. I have initiated a discussion on whether his daughter Sarah Edmondson should be mentioned in the article. See Talk:James E. Edmondson foe details and share any thoughs you have on the issue at that Talk page. --TommyBoy 16:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome template

Hi, I wanted to suggest that you merge your welcome template with the other 2, to prevent redundancy/duplication.

User:Kukini/Welcome just had a colour update, and I've suggested to Kukini that he should replace {{welcomeg}} with his version, as the only difference is the intro paragraph. As Kukini seems to have added an auto-signature, the colour scheme is the only difference between your two templates.

(So essentially, once (if) Kukini merges his template to {{welcomeg}}, I'm suggesting you both just redirect to that one.)

Hope that sounds good. :) --Quiddity·(talk) 18:08, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Please see further discussion/explanation at User talk:Kukini/Welcome#Hey ya'll. Thanks :) --Quiddity·(talk) 22:29, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

User:Ashlux/Userboxes/Libertarian

I see you created a user box for Libertarians. Which I think is great. Wouldnt it be better if you put (Libertarian Party US) instead of Libertarian. Dont get me wrong I think you did a great job. John R G 04:28, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome template suggestion

I saw and I liked - suggest enriching our welcome with the parts below. Note that leaving message needs to be personalize so it goes to the right page.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  01:04, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Heya, Washington Blade has been nominated for GA status. I noticed that you do quite a lot of reviewing, so would you mind taking this on? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 11:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll try to get to it sometime this weekend. It could sit on WP:GAC for a couple of weeks before anyone gets around to looking at it. -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 18:08, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Strawberry Panic! archived?

SP! became a GA before the review was started, so I've attempted to unarchive it, as the goal of the peer review was not a pre-GA lookover, but rather, a pre-FA lookover. I understand the main editor of the article wants to take it as far as he can - FA or bust! -Malkinann 21:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Oklahoma State Cowboys Wrestling

Thank you for your attempt to improve this article. You mentioned in your edit replacing the info box with one for a completely different sport, "I know it's CBB, but it works for what we need it for". I emphasized the we because it wasn't obvious who it was that you reached consensus with. For the time being, I've reverted it. If you feel the basketball box is more appropriate for a wrestling article or if there is an issue here I don't understand, please come back with your suggestion so the community can reach some sort of consensus. Johnn 7 12:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

A better option would be to just start a new infobox, but there's no need to maintain 2 infoboxes with virtually the same information :-) -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 13:55, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

That's a good idea. The box with info originally on the page is used in several other wrestling articles. Perhaps I'll look into making a formal infobox out of it today. Johnn 7 14:06, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Looks like i beat you to it, see {{Infobox College Wrestling Team}}. -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 17:12, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Other articles that need this template: Iowa Hawkeyes wrestling, Minnesota Golden Gophers wrestling, and North Dakota State Bison wrestling. -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 17:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

What is the difference between that template and {{Infobox college athletics}}? I could very easily make the fields in that template optional and so they won't show up if they are blank.↔NMajdan•talk 17:23, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

{{Infobox college athletics}} seems more pointed toward the athletic program as a whole whereas both {{Infobox CBB Team}} and {{Infobox College Wrestling Team}} are more specific to a team with variables such as national championships, final four appearance, current coach, etc. Neither sport is played in a stadium, but an arena. Things like mascot and fight song isn't really appropriate for a team's page (both basketball and wrestling templates have team colors, and I'm not sure there's a good reason for it and maybe should be removed). No doubt {{Infobox college athletics}} could be forced to be appropriate for wrestling, basketball, baseball, etc. but usually forcing numerous cases like this into a single template is not a good idea to keep them maintainable and usable. -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 19:48, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I always thought that if we could user one template/infobox for multiple applications, that was preferable. How often would these need to be "maintained?" I don't think the parameters will change. Maybe I'll try to work on a universal template in my spare time and see what I can come up with.↔NMajdan•talk 20:08, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

There is a line where it can be too coarse-grained to be useful and maintainable (a gigantic infobox for colleges, sports teams, newspapers, ...) and where it can be too fine-grained to be practical (seperate infoboxes for *everything*). Combining {{Infobox CBB Team}} and {{Infobox College Wrestling Team}} with {{Infobox college athletics}} is most certainly too course-grained. Men's and women's college basketball are related enough that having a single infobox for them makes sense. Here's a partial list of infoboxes you are proposing combining into one huge infobox: {{NLL Team Infobox}}, {{Infobox CBB Team}}, {{Infobox College Wrestling Team}}, baseball (I can't find a template, but LSU Tigers baseball has something similar), {{NCAAFootballSchool}}, {{MLL Team Infobox}}, {{Infobox Swim team}}, {{AFL team}}, {{NFLE team}}, {{NBADL team}}, {{NBA team}}, {{Infobox National football team}}, {{Infobox Football club}}, {{Cycling team infobox}}, {{Minor league team}}, ... In my opinion, each of those are likely sufficiently different to warrant their own infobox (About the only thing each of those infoboxes have in common is a name). -- Ash Lux ^{(talk | contribs)} 21:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

No, I do not intend on combining all those into one. The only reason I say these three (athletics, CBB, Wrestling) could be one is because their layout is already very similar. I went ahead and took a stab at combining the three. Take a look at User:Nmajdan/Template1. And the coding is still pretty much the same. I made all the fields optional; I added a couple fields to the main area that the CBB and Wrestling infoboxes had that the Athletics one did not (coach, capacity), and added the parts at the bottom inside a simple switch statement. Still very easy to maintain.↔NMajdan•talk 21:40, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I opened up a discussion concerning the new template at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football#Need opinion on a couple templates. Please feel free to share your opinion.↔NMajdan•talk 14:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Wikiproject Oklahoma Newsletter

Greetings! This is a random delivery of the WikiProject Oklahoma newsletter, the "WikiOkie Reporter":

The WikiOkie Reporter WikiProject Oklahoma's Newsletter Issue 1 - September 2007 Discuss this newsletter	Your second or third stop for WikiProject Oklahoma News Sign up to receive this newsletter Oklahoma Portal Current article statistics
WikiProject Oklahoma releases new newsletter September 2007 brings a new face to WikiProject Oklahoma: a newsletter. As in all of Wikipedia, the new WikiOkie Reporter (tenative name) is intended to be a collaborative effort among editors. Anyone can edit it: this month's newsletter is placed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Oklahoma/newsletter/aug07, but next month's will be placed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Oklahoma/newsletter/oct07, with the following month at /newsletter/nov07, and so on. While this month's article's were initially written by User:Okiefromokla, it is hoped other editors will be excited to contribute to articles, content, layout, and ideas. This is a completely new child of WikiProject Oklahoma, and it should reflect the collaborative work of everyone who's bored and has nothing to do for a few minutes. As such, anything can be discussed here: anything - layout, color scheme, pictures, content, etc. The behind-the-scenes workings for the WikiOkie Reporter will be simple: anyone wishing to receive the newsletter in their talk page may place their name at sign-up list, but they are more than free to remove their name from the same list at any time. Anyone wishing to discuss ideas or anything at all related to the newsletter may look no further than here: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Oklahoma/newsletter/talk. Several WikiProjects already have ongoing newsletters, including Wikipedia: WikiProject North Dakota, from which WikiProject Oklahoma's newsletter has been based. For the time being, Okiefromokla will assume distribution responsibilities for the newsletter, maintaining the template, and writing articles from scratch if other editors have not done so by the 1st of the month. Promotions on the rise For many Wikipedians, summer is a time to kick back, relax, and make an occasional minor edit to their favorite few pages. Not so in WikiProject Oklahoma. Between May 12 and September, editors have been busily working on Oklahoma, Tulsa, and Woody Guthrie, and all three have been promoted. Prior to May, there were only seven Featured or Good articles in WikiProject Oklahoma. On May 12, Tulsa was promoted from B-class to FA class after a few months of extensive editing. Its primary editors were User:Nmajdan, User:SandyGeorgia, User:Okiefromokla, and a handful of others. On August 25, Oklahoma was promoted from B-class to FA class after a month-long blitz. User:Okiefromokla, User: SandyGeorgia, and several anonymous IPs contributed heavily to the article. On June 13, 2007, Woody Guthrie was promoted from B-Class to GA class after two failed attempts at promotion. User:Dannygutters, User:Gaff, User:Maenpong, and a handful of others contributed most to the article.
This month's task: Assess articles! Check out all these unassessed articles to help out!
The WikiProject Oklahoma newsletter is a work in progress so please share your ideas about how the newsletter can be improved. If you no longer wish to receive this newsletter, please remove your name from the sign-up list.
