This edit is probably a spambot
[edit]
I'd like to split the West Side - I'm thinking about moving Wicker Park, Ukrainian Village, Logan Square, and Bucktown to their own article. Any recommendations for what such an article might be called? I've seen "West Town" used as a designation before, but I'm not sure what that's supposed to cover. (Thought I'd ask your opinion because of the Innertown/Tuman's reference on the Talk page.) (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 17:20, 12 August 2007 (EDT)
- West Town works, or at least it used to. Thing is that West Town would also include everything north of Grand avenue and everything east of Humbolt Park (the park), so it's a slightly bigger chunk. I think it could be argued that it's a better chunk to cut out though, since you can include the small Wishbone and Betty's. -- (WT-en) Mark 18:59, 12 August 2007 (EDT)

[edit]Thanks! In all my wikidays, that's the first barnstar I've received, a moment of pride. (WT-en) Gorilla Jones 18:19, 5 September 2007 (EDT)

Hotels in Paris
[edit]Hello. I was visiting the wikipedia articles on Paris because i will visit the town and i llok for a hotel. Thus i discovered your wonderful looking maps which you created on the parisian arrondissements. Allow me one question: what criterias have you chosen when you mapped the hotels, restaurants etc.? --85.179.103.77 17:07, 9 November 2007 (EST)
- Just whatever was in the guide at the time. I'm in the process of switching to OpenStreetMap which will allow us to keep it up-to-date easier. -- (WT-en) Mark 14:22, 21 March 2008 (EDT)
Thanks
[edit]Thanks for the info. I read the phone numbers help page and I guess I had a hard time disiphering it. From now on I'll make sure to use the tips you gave me. (WT-en) CarsonR
Data dumps
[edit]Hi Mark, I remember seeing long ago that you grabbed regular copies of Wikivoyage content for back up. Are you still doing this? And if so, are you doing it for all language versions? Since IB won't release its data dumps (or even respond to questions of why they won't), I do occasionally have nightmares of massive amounts of work being lost! --(WT-en) Peter Talk 00:38, 26 August 2008 (EDT)
COTM - Copenhagen
[edit]Hey Mark, please take a look over at the Collaboration of Month Nomination page, and the Copenhagen entry. Also I'd really like some comments whether you'd be willing (and able) to help with lending a hand with your expertise on importing data from openstreetmap.org... Kind regards - (WT-en) Sertmann 17:38, 6 November 2008 (EST)

Hello Mark,
I would like to use this map for some articles of Wikipedia, but I see some little things to change :
- The Centre Georges Pompidou in not at the good place
- 3. La Défense
- 4. Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris
- 5. Panthéon
- 6. Cimetière du Père-Lachaise
Thank you in advance (WT-en) Rigoureux 09:01, 12 September 2011 (EDT)

Do you want to hold on to Paris/Maps? It's been nominated for deletion. --Peter Talk 20:41, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for asking, but no, I'm not really attached. It was for a wiki travel press product that seemed like a really good idea but came too late to save the company. -- MarkJaroski (talk) 21:20, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
Mark, it might have slipped your attention but the initial checkuser vote was stopped due to formal reasons. Therefore you need to vote again. Would be great if you could vote once again for Inas. Regards, jan (talk) 19:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
Main Page
[edit]Hi! I just wanted to say thanks very much for volunteering to have a look at the proposed new Main Page's scaling issues. It's really kind of you to offer to help and I really appreciate it. :) --Nicholasjf21 (talk) 20:35, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
- Hopefully I can actually do something useful. It's not guaranteed. :) -- MarkJaroski (talk) 10:27, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I don't suppose there's anything I can do to help with the carousel for the new Main Page? I am bit useless, but if you've any menial jobs, I'm more than happy to do them! Thanks again! :) --Nicholasjf21 (talk) 20:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
Mobile Main Page
[edit]Thank you so much for your stellar work on the new Main Page - it's looking fantastic! Could there be a way to make the mobile page's imagemap scale as well? Thanks!!! :) --Nick (talk) 18:04, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
- I was thinking it would be best to have a truly mobile version with a completely different stylesheet, as with Wikipedia, no? -- Mark (talk) 18:55, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
- If that were possible, that would be great! --Nick (talk) 19:13, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
- Not only is it possible, it already exists. We just have to adjust our main page design to accommodate it. -- Mark (talk) 19:33, 25 March 2013 (UTC)
- If that were possible, that would be great! --Nick (talk) 19:13, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

Banner text alignment
[edit]Hey Mark, would it be feasible to add a parameter that would control vertical position of the text (valign?). The direction parameter takes care of most issues, but there are frequent requests to move the text lower, for example regarding the text placement on the Udupi banner. --Peter Talk 20:42, 26 March 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mark, i hope you are fine. I just wanted to inform you that user W.Frank has nominated Lausanne for de-starification. As you did a superb job on it, you are maybe interested to start action in keeping the level of the article to the new star criterias. There are some formatting issuses and the new policies (frontlinking) etc. need to be reflected in writing. Best regards, jan (talk) 11:50, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
- If you read Talk:Lausanne#Increasing_the_maps.27_visibility Mark, you will see that Globe-trotter suggested that a de-star nomination had to be filed. Since you may still live in Lausanne, we'd really appreciate your help with updating listings and making the maps better. Formatting, etc is strictly secondary since anyone can do that (and have, indeed, already started). By the way my Rufname is Frank so I much prefer to be called that (there's a BIG clue in my signature and Frank is certainly much shorter than "user W.Frank"...) --W. Franke-mailtalk 20:32, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
- Well, the Lausanne page certainly is out of date. I think most of the text is from 2005-2006, with a few maintenance edits since. I wouldn't argue with de-starring. Hopefully I can find some time to work on it soon. -- Mark (talk) 07:13, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks, Mark - it's really appreciated! --W. Franke-mailtalk 12:06, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
- Hello Mark, I just wanted to remind you of the Lausanne article. If you're living there you're probably the best person to have a look at it and update whatever is needed. ϒpsilon (talk) 16:37, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

Category:Pages_with_broken_file_links
[edit]Hoi Mark, i hope you are doing fine. Currently several editors try to clean the broken links. Some of you sub talkpages are listed due to old broken links to wts. I don't want to clean such things on your talk page. Would you please take care of it? Thank you and best regards, jan (talk) 08:14, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Mark, yes you got them all! Thank you for your effort, we still have some 700 broken links, so it will take a while to clean all other pages. Best regards, jan (talk) 05:58, 26 September 2013 (UTC)

How we will see unregistered users
[edit]Hi!
You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.
When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.
Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.
If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.
We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.
Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

Administrator status (Official Notice)
[edit]Thanks for your service as a Wikivoyage administrator. As you may be aware, our Wikivoyage:Administrators policy indicates that administrators who have not edited on the English Wikivoyage in over two years should have their administrator flags removed. This is for account security purposes, not a reflection of a loss of trust or any disappointment.
As such, we will be removing your administrator flag on December 1, 2015. Should you wish to retain your status, simply come on back and make an edit! That resets the clock. And if you ever decide to return to Wikivoyage as an active editor, your administrator flag can be restored by request.
If you have any questions or concerns, let me know.
Your removal is along with several other admins as discussed here.
