Napoleon Emperor of France

I have set up a redirect to the already established napoleon article, this removed your speedy deletion template, I hope this is OK Christopher Pritchard (talk) 19:09, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Categories

{{helpme}}I'm wondering how you get italics to appear in categories like here Category:Channel_9_TV_stations_in_Canada. Is it also possible to change the name that appears in the categories as well. Thanks.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 06:32, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

When you wikilink to a category, you should place a colon in front of it (I just edited your request to fix it) so it doesn't add the current page to the category. To change how an article is sorted in categories I think you use the template:defaultsort thing. If that doesn't answer your question then add the "helpme" template again. Killiondude (talk) 07:46, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

The italics appear when an entry in a category is not a full page but just a redirect, for instance WNPI-TV's entry looks like:

 #REDIRECT ]
 ]

(channel 18 just redirects to channel 16) and would therefore appear italicised on the Channel 18 category page (WNPI 18 rebroadcasts NY flagship WPBS 16 into Ottawa). This much is done automatically; I don't know of any other means to force italicisation of a category entry. And defaultsort? I think that only affects where a page is listed within a category, but does not change the displayed name or text formatting. For instance, if an article on Tina Fey were tagged as ] the category page entry for the article would still display her name as "Tina Fey" but the listing would appear in the 'F' section within that category - useful mostly for biographies filed by surname. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 17:02, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

The only way to change how a title appears in the category is to place that category on a redirect from the alternate title instead of on the main article. For instance, Category:CBC Radio One programs is on the redirect at Radio Free Vestibule, rather than the target article The Vestibules, in order for that category to display the "Radio Free Vestibule" title. If you were to put that category onto the real article instead, there would be no way to make the category display any title other than "The Vestibules" no matter what you did with it. The same action of placing the category on the redirect also causes that title to display italicized; there's no other way to make that happen. Bearcat (talk) 23:04, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

TV stations

Just so you know, there's not really a lot of point in changing the reference to a city in a TV station's article so that it's pointing to a redirect to the same article instead of directly to the city's article. In new writing, you're certainly free to use shortcuts like Yorkton, SK instead of typing out the whole word "Saskatchewan", if that makes things easier and saves time for you — but if the article's already pointing to Yorkton, Saskatchewan, there's no value in changing the existing link to the SK redirect instead.

Defunct TV stations

It wasn't actually you that made the changes I was talking about WRT putting the rebroadcaster's call sign and information into the infoboxes; it was User:New World Man.

CFLA-TV should probably be considered defunct in the strict sense, but what makes that one a bit unusual is that while most of the others dropped their old call signs and became CBLT-6 or CBKT-4 or whatever, CFLA kept the same call sign. So technically the station never stopped broadcasting in the sense that CKNC-TV or CJFB-TV did; it just changed where its programming was coming from.

I'm going to have to look into the CBSET-1 thing a bit more closely; while its current presentation seems not right to me, I'm not sure what would be the best way to handle it. Bearcat (talk) 00:02, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

deleting quotes on Gateway Program page

once again you deleted a quote on this page without contributing to the discussion. There has been discussion about this issue and a consensus reached. Why are you ignoring the work of others and refusing to particpate in the discussion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by B5baxter (talk • contribs) 21:12, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

vandalism

My edit is not vandalism. You did not read my first edit summary. Cluebot reverted me. I did leave edit summary. Fordline (talk) 19:15, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Frequent Reverts

Emarsee, I want to add my concerns to the others expressed above that you are deleting and reverting too many changes without contributing to the discussion. I appreciate that you might think something is obvious or should be done another way, but you need to explain your changes so that others can decide to agree or disagree with you. I'm sure you must have some good reasons for many of your revisions and edits; you just need to explain them so that others don't mistake you for a vandal.

Orphaned non-free media (File:Cfjcnews.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Cfjcnews.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. 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 Misplaced Pages (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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" 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. BJBot (talk) 05:19, 30 March 2009 (UTC)

CKCK TV Edits

I made those edits because they are inaccurate and since I work at CKCK tv I have direct knowledge. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctvbryce (talk • contribs) 23:35, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Pacific Central Station

Please do NOT revert an article without first reading the edit summary or checking the post you put on my user page, which you state in your own user page that you would do. --69.123.112.18 (talk) 00:31, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

A-Channel logo

Hey Emarsee, just a quick note about the A-Channel logo edits to avoid any kind of edit war thing, I explained it in my reverts, but the logo didn't always have the "A" in black, most of the time it did, but that's only because most of the time they presented it against a black background. The black was not technically apart of the actual logo itself. So since it's not an actual part of the logo, then this is the better one to use. I can't think of a Canadian channel example of this but it's the same thing as AnimeCentral situation. musimax. (talk) 22:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

CKCK Changes

It all depends how you read that database. The height you enter is the EHAAT (estimated height above average terrain) the height I enter is the actual tower height.

As far a output power the 100kw may refer to the power level when mutliplied by the gain of the antenna array, the transmitter itself is only capeable of 50kw. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ctvbryce (talk • contribs) 18:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

RCSS article (again)

Believe it or not, the editor who was giving us problems a few months ago over the logo at the RCSS article, is back, demanding the opposite of what he demanded last time! He now wants us to say the new logo (generic type for both Superstore and Loblaws Superstore) is not used for Loblaws Superstore advertising, because it is not used on their flyers. Last time, he was arguing that the logo used on the website should be the determining factor. I checked, and the website is still using the generic logo for Loblaws Superstores in Ontario. Feeling like I'm about to beat my head against a wall again, I will try to discuss it with him, and no assistance is required yet, but please keep a watch on the article, Real Canadian Superstore, and the user, User talk:99.224.112.64. Thanks. --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 20:04, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I think it's the same person, isn't it? (A-Channel and RCSS edits) --A Knight Who Says Ni (talk) 23:02, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

		The Real Life Barnstar
		For your great work in possibly saving a life today. The RCMP were very grateful to get that info on the suicide threat. Toddst1 (talk) 23:47, 18 April 2009 (UTC) No problem, I hope the IP doesn't commit suicide and it all work out.  єmarsee  • Speak up! 00:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
