Witch's broom / mistletoe[edit]

Hi Estormiz- I saw Image:Witch_Broom_Oulu_2006_11_06.JPG and I think it looks much more like mistletoe. Do you agree that it might be that instead of witch's broom? --Eric my en.wp talk page 15:18, 9 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mistletoe is not native for Northern Finland (maybe not for all of Finland). But I am no botanist so I cannot be so sure of what it is. --Estormiz (talk) 18:18, 12 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm no expert on either, but I'm sure that is not witch's broom in the picture. I've seen a lot of mistletoe, and it looks exactly like mistletoe. I found one website that talks about mistletoe growing in city parks outside its natural range. Maybe that's what's happening in Oulu? --Eric my en.wp talk page 03:04, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Finnish wikipedia says that "verifiably there is one mistletoe growing in a garden in Parainen in Finland". The species of mistletoe in Parainen is Viscum album or in Finnish misteli. Parainen is in the south western part of Finland. Oulu is about 600 km up north from Parainen and only about 200 km from Arctic circle. So definitely it is not mistletoe. Witch's broom, especially Taphrina betulina, (btw in Finnish it is called tuulenpesä i.e. "Wind's nest") however is very common in Finland. --Estormiz (talk) 14:28, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I've learned something new. Those growths in the tree in Oulu just didn't look to me to be part of the tree--they seemed at first to be hanging. But I found another picture of a birch here with many growths, just like yours. I didn't realize there could be so many in one tree! Thanks for the info. I hope your days aren't too short up there now! --Eric my en.wp talk page 16:00, 15 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
We are approaching the polar night. Of course we never get there, but we get really close. I'm sure you can imagine the amount of Seasonal affective disorders going around here ;) --Estormiz (talk) 08:53, 23 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The renovated industrial building in Toppila[edit]

Thanks for uploading this: File:Toppila Former Pulpmill.jpg

Looks exciting. =) Not being an Oulu native, I've only seen the building in its current, renovated condition. Quite a change.

Got any other old photos from that same area? Uploading some photos taken from the harbour of Toppila when it actually still had some activity going on would also be great. --Methem (talk) 16:20, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

At the time (before digicameras) when all of the photographs had to be printed, I did not take many landscape pictures - at least not many without family or friends on the foreground :) Toppila harbour has not been in full use for so long that I have to say that I do not remember it as a real busy harbour. I've only got a faint memory of some ships in that harbour. Sorry. I will look through my old photo prints when I have more time, I might still have some pictures from Toppila and other places in 1980's or 1990's. -Estormiz (talk) 16:47, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. And yep, I guess it would require going like 30 years (or more?) back in time to see the harbour real busy.
I have seen some of the old photos taken by the late photographer Uuno Laukka, and they are pretty interesting (such as this one). I should take time to browse all of his Oulu photos in his online collection some day... --Methem (talk) 17:41, 4 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File:Oulu Stora Enso 2006 01 15.JPG[edit]

We wanted to let you know that we've used one of your pictures in a project of ours: http://litpics.tumblr.com/post/14374429662/lit-critical-miscellanies-vol-3-of-3-by-john

We created a computer program to generate random pairings of sentences from public domain texts and public domain / creative commons images. Some of the pictures we've selected come from the Wikipedia Commons. All the pictures we select ourselves, but the pairings and the text are random. Of these pairings that are generated, we only post the most interesting combinations.

We welcome any feedback about our site.

Thanks for sharing your pictures,

Comments * Needs perspective correction. Also a reddish CA on the roof. --Cccefalon 13:50, 27 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
* I agree to the CA problem. But a perspective correction would lead to massive distortions. The camera is obvisiously pointing upstairs so it is absolutely natural to see leaning verticals. A small composition issue: this symmetrical composed image is not perfectly symmetric, but this small issue should not lead to a decline. Only the CA is really disturbing. -- Smial 11:01, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I'm aware of that problem. PC cannot be applied everywhere, but as there is still some space at the top, it might be worth a try. If it is not working, it can be QI though, I won't be stubborn in that case. --Cccefalon 11:19, 28 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Rullalautailuaiheisia Oulu-kuvia?[edit]

Tervehdys.

Löytyisikö kuva-arkistosi Oulu-otosten joukosta mitään rullalautailuun "liittyvää"? Esimerkiksi katukuvia, joissa näkyy jokin kaupungissa olleista rullalautailurampeista tai muista vastaavista laitteista? Olen jostain ymmärtänyt, että Heinäpäässä ollut iso ramppi olisi aikaisemmin ollut muun muassa Raksilassa ja myös Pateniemessä, ja minua kiinnostaisivat esim. sen vaiheet.

Tämä viesti liittyy lähinnä henkilökohtaisiin intresseihini, mutta onhan tuollainen materiaali yhtä lailla tervetullutta myös Commonsiin (Skateboarding in Finland -luokan alle). Kiitos jo etukäteen, jos moisia kuvia löytyy.

--Methem (talk) 09:32, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Patelassa ja Raksilassa olen käynyt vain harvakseltaan kuvailemassa. Pikaisesti katsottuna ei ole osunut tuota ko. ramppia edes yleiskuviin Raksilan liikuntakeskuksesta. Pidän kuitenkin rampit mielessä kun selailen kuvia. Jos rampit on olleet graffitein koristeltuja niin uskoisin että olen voinut kuvan ottaakin. --Estormiz (talk) 15:43, 25 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

1277 in Europe -- (now) --> {{Europeyear|127|7}} but 1977 ----> {{Europeyear|197|7|1969|1970}}?--Threecharlie (talk) 01:57, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

in the template Template:Europeyear there must have been parameters 3 and 4 in the past, but after changes it only needs (and uses) two parameters - the first is the decade eg. 177 and the second is the year eg. 7. Parameters 1969 (the 3rd parameter) and 1970 (the 4th parameter) are ignored. --Estormiz (talk) 09:28, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Templates by year[edit]

Hi Estormiz. Thank you so much for all your work on templates, and generally on categories by year. And a special Tank You! for your correction of the template related to "Category:Continents by year". I tried there to make the best, but finally the result was worse. I asked to some admins to correct this template, but nobody did it. Really, what I have seen in so many categories, the most of the template by year doesn't work correctly. I.e. if the years are in the tousands, all it's ok; but if there are years of hundreds or of tens too, then the templates doesn't work correctly: the list of the years became a mess, where after the year 1599 comes year 1, and then 123, and then 14, and then 152, and... and.. and finally year 1600 and 1601. If there are also years before Christ, then the chaos is total! Some times I made order using the sortkey, but now I know that the correct way is to correct the template. If in the future I find templates that are defective, can I ask your help? Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 19:14, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DenghiùComm, I've been bothered by the same thing with the sorting of the categories. I am glad you have paid attention to the year categories also. If you find defective templates please do ask for help and I will try to fix them if I can. Best regards, --Estormiz (talk) 19:23, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much again! Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 20:06, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
P.S.: Just at this moment in Category:Buildings in Italy by year of completion I find the last 4 subcats not at your place. The template is correct. Why they are at the end of the list? Cheers, --DenghiùComm (talk) 20:13, 27 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Actually the 4 subcats were the only ones in the correct place, the other subcats have not been "refreshed" on the the new template. Saving the subcat without making any changes moves the sybcat in the right position. It seems to me that sometimes this is done by an automatic job but sometimes it won't happen without manual "touching" of the subcats. Estormiz (talk) 16:54, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template help[edit]

Hi Estormiz. Here I am...! ;-)) Can you heelp me in some templates?

Thank you very much if you can correct these situations. Of course only if you have time and if you feel like it...! Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 14:36, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected the Tunisia template by adding parameter lang=en in the date subtemplate, I also made the Template:iranestablishmentyear, but did not make the template for the Decades by month, maybe later. --Estormiz (talk) 15:31, 31 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Template help reprise[edit]

Hi, thanks for all your templates work. Can you help me (and, naturally, Commons) for find a good solution for a correct sequence of Category:30s plaques referencing years and Category:70s plaques referencing years in Category:Plaques referencing years by decade. :-)--Threecharlie (talk) 10:20, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I changed the template so that if the first parameter is 0 (zero), the first parameter from the category names will be removed. Also I added sorting for Category:Plaques referencing years by decade --Estormiz (talk) 11:55, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Christianity by year[edit]

Hi, we have the same probleem with Category:Christianity by year.--Threecharlie (talk) 12:39, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I corrected sorting of the category. Also there is no need to add third and forth parameters, eg. {{Christianityyear|145|6|1449|1460}}, since they are not used anymore. --Estormiz (talk) 16:50, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand...[edit]

Category:547 by topic vs Category:549 by topic... the same "mother category" type but the first is full and the other not...--Threecharlie (talk) 22:26, 19 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I saved the "Category:549 in religion" (without making any changes) and the save populated the topic category. I think this should have been done by an automatic job but I have noticed that some times the only way to get things right is to save the category-page again. --Estormiz (talk) 10:03, 20 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Estormiz. Do you know that in Category:Months in Europe works two different templates? E.g. Category:January 1862 in Europe and Category:January 1924 in Europe. I had a discussion with user Apalsola, and he told me that one of these template (the most used in this category) is a deprecated template. I think that deprecate template must be cancelled. What do you think? Best regards, --DenghiùComm (talk) 22:30, 22 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi DenghiùComm. There are many places that have got two or even more templates doing the same thing. It is much work to go through the pages using the deprecated templates and change the template used without ability to use external tools like Autowikibrowser or such. But I guess unused template could be asked to be removed when all the pages have been changed to the correct template. --Estormiz (talk) 08:34, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thank you for your answer. Cheers, --DenghiùComm (talk) 08:08, 25 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Church templates for Canada[edit]

Hi... I now create the {{CanadaChurchArc}} for the standard {{CanadaChurchArc|189|9}} but I cannot known the existence of "out-of-standard" {{CanadaYear|churches|190|8}} (the standard is {{CanadaChurchArc|190|8}}). Can you help me? Regards :-)--Threecharlie (talk) 19:36, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like the CanadaYear -template is quite sophisticated and it has been quite recently updated. It is also used in more categories than the new template not in quite many though. You might want to contact Skeezix1000 who is the creator of the CanadaYear -template, if you would like to have changes in the CanadaYear -template. --Estormiz (talk) 20:01, 22 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Skeezix1000 isn't an active user... I don't know if he can reed a "mine" POV. I stay in hopes.--Threecharlie (talk) 19:05, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The CanadaYear template is protected so if you would like to have changes in the template you will have to make an "Edit request" in the Talkpage of the template. I guess the main difference between the two templates is that the CanadaYear-template does not add a decade-category in the year category. Estormiz (talk) 19:18, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Estormiz! You deleted the "Category:Night by city|Rome" from "Category:Night in Rome". But it is not a redundant category, it is a parallel category.
