Hello :) Did you get any feedback if it is a RS or not? It would be a shame if it isn't because it is quite comprehensive, but I don't want to reference anything further to it if it is not considered RS, be it races or info on cyclists' articles. Mattsnow81 (Talk) 22:19, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can follow the discussion here. It seems to be tricky... I would tend to accepting it, but I cannot make that decision myself. Zwerg Nase (talk) 10:54, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I added my grain of salt. An IP writes the Tour de France stages, he is a very good writer, but lacks the reference fiber. I try to help him, but he is not talkative. Oh well. Are you watching the Tour a bit? Mattsnow81 (Talk) 17:36, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I do, four spectecular stages so far, weren't they? And so deserved for Martin today! Zwerg Nase (talk) 17:41, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes! Although I like Sagan a lot, I was happy for Martin, what power to resist to the bunch like that! I hope Sagan wins a stage this year, but don't worry, if he does and I write it on his article, I'll be very encyclopedic. Have a great Tour and don't forget to ring my bell if there's anything, I edit everyday. I'm sorry I dropped out a bit of the TDS work, as I said I put too much pressure on myself. I put 3 edits on it this morning lol Mattsnow81 (Talk) 17:48, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I was glad to see that :) Zwerg Nase (talk) 18:11, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just put a few small ones in. Is there any chances the article will be a GA? If too much reconstruction is still needed, I'll go to something else. Besides, I think the seventh day is today right? Mattsnow81 (Talk) 18:29, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I still need to take a closer look at all the changes, but I believe it is not far from GA. With all the work being done, don't mind the seven days. Zwerg Nase (talk) 18:35, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll hunt some time gaps at the end of the stages, those we'll never find a ref for and stamp them out. Mattsnow81 (Talk) 18:37, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New batch of pics taken today just came in from a French wikifriend, they are just awesome as you can see! Now onto categorizing all that stuff :P Mattsnow81 (Talk) 21:37, 7 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's a whole lotta photos! And a well deserved red number for Nibali, he really made the stage with his attacks. Zwerg Nase (talk) 09:24, 8 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Cyclingquotes-wise, my remarks to them on Twitter seem to have touched the mark, as they now say: POSTED by Emil Axelgaard or identify some new writers. This Axelgaard is a great connoisseur I've been told in private messages, but also a pricky boss. Anyway, it would be useful to use them for the 2015 Tour. Mattsnow81 (Talk) 05:00, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That is good news, the more sources the better :) So, Froome seems unbeatable this year doesn't he? Zwerg Nase (talk) 07:07, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We'll see tomorrow, first mountaintop finish! Bummer for Basso though, he announced he has testicular cancer :( Mattsnow81 (Talk) 16:17, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am sure that is not the Armstrong succession he had in mind in 2006... Zwerg Nase (talk) 16:21, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No :( This Tour has been pretty exciting so far, can't wait for the mountains. Look at Sagan's results! Pity he didn't take a victory. Maybe on one of those lumpy stages looming... Mattsnow81 (Talk) 17:29, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm too much of a Degenkolb supporter to hope for Sagan victories ;) Zwerg Nase (talk) 18:17, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

LOL This is a declaration of war! Mattsnow81 (Talk) 18:45, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking as a historian, you sure that declaring war is the best idea when it's Slovakia against Germany ;) Zwerg Nase (talk) 19:49, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in the French part of Canada, Quebec hahaha. Well that is not much better lol Mattsnow81 (Talk) 20:03, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Quebec? That's cute ;) Zwerg Nase (talk) 20:04, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you get our only tank, we'll defend with war beavers and moose! Mattsnow81 (Talk) 20:19, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Die immerwährende Krise? Sca (talk) 17:26, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Abwarten und Tee trinken. ich bin da recht entspannt... Zwerg Nase (talk) 17:31, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you Germans with your €23 billion (milliarden) trade surplus shouldn't mind paying Greek pensioners to sit in the Aegean sun and play dominoes. Someone has to do it. Sca (talk) 21:34, 13 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Better use to money to have me sit in the sun! (Only there's no sun to be seen in Berlin...) Zwerg Nase (talk) 12:42, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I see what you mean. Vielleicht scheint Morgen die Sonne wieder. ( – Werner Stelly). Sca (talk) 14:33, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Sca: Funny, you were practically looking at me through that webcam Zwerg Nase (talk) 15:53, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm, you work at ... GHI? Sca (talk) 15:55, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What's that? :D No, I work at Humboldt University of Berlin. Zwerg Nase (talk) 15:56, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As a ... Dozent? Sca (talk) 16:05, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jeez, I wish. I am a student assistant in the administration ;) Zwerg Nase (talk) 16:06, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Trotzdem bin ich neidisch. Give my regards to Unter den Linden – or whatever Lokal you frequent. Sca (talk) 16:22, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

"What you are doing is searching for a good table for one article that technically suits not everyone but your preferred way of display, which is obviously mobile devices."

While it's true that I work to accommodate mobile users, when have any of my edits ever prioritised mobile users over desktop users to the point where the desktop version is rendered unusable or broken?

Never. There is a long-standing consensus that, where possible, mobile, desktop and tablet users should be equally accommodated. If this is not possible, desktop users get priority, but for the most part, it is usually pretty easy to make both work. Given that I always check the functionality of my edits on the desktop site after making them and have never had a problem, I fail to understand how my edits prioritise mobiles over desktops.

I understand that you have troubles when using Firefox. I would suggest that you go to VPT; when I can use a desktop, Firefox is my browser of choice, and I have never had a problem with it. Prisonermonkeys (talk) 12:36, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, you were the driving force behind the change in tables for this season, is that correct? The fact is: They do not accommodate mobile and desktop equally. The new ones don't work with Firefox while the old ones did work in mobile browsers, with the slight problem that the borders are quite light. I did go to VPT and they told me that the decision to move away from wikitables in the first place was not smart. I agree with that. If anything, we should switch back to the old wikitables and have them fixed at VPT for mobile view. That way, everyone would be happy. Zwerg Nase (talk) 12:41, 14 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article 2015 Austrian Grand Prix you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

The article Senatus consultum ultimum you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Senatus consultum ultimum for things which need to be addressed.

Just letting you know that I've just nominated 2015 Tour de France for GA. Me and Matt, along with others, have been working on it over the duration of the race. Of course I don't expect you to take it on, but since you have done the last few cycling GANs I thought I'd give you the heads up. BaldBoris 01:48, 27 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
