Re: Rollback - Sorreltail
Is there any particular reason why? I can't use my rollback powers just to favour one person's edits over another's. 20:01, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

Book Covers
Hi Whitestorm! Hope everything is OK with you. We haven't talked in quite a while; lately my internet time is usually limited to the early afternoons (after I come home from school and before I start studying or leave again); but I guess we can catch each other on IRC in the weekend. In any case, I'd like to congratulate you for the position as PC leader and I hope that soon things will run at full power there; remember when I told that you that you would be good at it. ;)

Actually, I'm sending this message to write about the book cover renaming since I saw you concluded the PB policy vote yesterday. I apologise if what I write is trivial or is something you already figured out; but you know about my passion for PB, and that's why I try to make sure that everything goes perfectly. :)

The policy has passed and this means that now we must rename all book covers. The problem is that only admins can move files. What we can do is to tag all files with the rename template, for instance. A sysop will check the tagged files when able and see to them.

Yes, it will be an arduous work, taking in account that there are hundreds of files. I will do the tagging myself when I'll have time for it (if you agree), and will also make sure that each file is in the correct category; I guess you now have enough on your shoulders sorting out PC. :) I don't know when a sysop will be available to actually rename all those files (seeing that all they are away / busy), but at least we get the ball rolling. After the files are renamed, the Galleries must be recreated with the newly named files... which will be another hard task. However, since the filenames will follow a pattern, I might be able create a template that will automatically find and reinsert all files in all galleries; I'll see to it when we'll get there.

One more thing... feature articles (including for PC). If we decide to select new FAs for October, the discussions should start right away. However, as the FAs missed almost the whole of September, my opinion is to leave them for another month instead of choosing new ones now. The advantage is that they will get appropriate exposure and we will have time to prepare properly for nominating and selecting new ones; the disadvantage is that we miss another month (after already missing August) of pushing articles towards gold. What is your opinion?

Kind regards and hope to hear from you soon. 12:08, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

I have outlined the basic functions for a template that does not require any arguments; instead uses IFEXIST functions and links to two data modules to create a gallery with all available covers for a certain book (since the names will follow a pattern, it is possible to do this). It will have the same (or similar - I'm thinking of adding some visual tweaks) appearance as the current galleries, but the foreign books will be ordered by publication date, not randomly like it is now; and the date, publisher and reference (where required) will appear below each cover (For this reason, we should not start the file tagging yet; I first have to sort out the data on the publications). I will send you a link if I have something drafted.

Thanks for your reply, and... well, it's no secret (and can be seen from my activity in the last months) that PB has been my favorite project for months. I have several other ideas to take PB (and the wiki itself) to the next level, and I would like to discuss them with you some day. For the same reason, I will probably withdraw my offer to lead PW... given my current free time, I would like to focus only on things I love, and for me that is definitely PB.

Kind regards, 19:26, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hi Whitestorm and thanks for your answer. It's not that I think I would be a bad PW leader, but I enjoy PB more. I will see if I can accommodate both in my free time. In any case, it seems that Gray will be back in early October (he has an exam session now).

Just some more short remarks about the project (I cannot help getting involved when PB is concerned, I really hope you don't mind). :) When you tag a file for renaming, mind the extension (e.g. a JPG file cannot be renamed to PNG like suggested here). The policy page should be updated with the new procedures that passed the vote; as this can be done only by admins, you should notify them. Also, maybe add a news item to the PB page about it, so new files could be uploaded with the correct names. I made an extensive search some time ago and found several covers we don't have yet; I will upload those already with the new names. Furthermore, I updated the Concerns on the main page.

Early congrats for your birthday, and all the best. :) Kind regards, 12:01, September 22, 2010 (UTC)
