[edit] Edit request on 9 January 2012

The founding date for the Nu Iota chapter of Phi Beta Sigma is 1980. It was the 1st Greek Organization on the campus of UNCP. 166.137.15.138 (talk) 06:00, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Think you're on the wrong page, friend. — Bility (talk) 16:50, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] <includeonly>

Please, give a link where the absence of <includeonly> makes troubles. In any case, do not make bulk rollbacks (restore <includeonly> if it is needed). Incnis Mrsi (talk) 20:48, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

I reverted your whole edit because the version produced the wrong outcome. Your es was not inviting to spend time on details. -DePiep (talk) 23:05, 9 February 2012 (UTC)
"Wrong outcome" are two words which mean nothing. Report perceivable problems, not just revert one's work because it is not perfect. May be you will gain some respect this way, even if reverting will precede a discussion. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 08:53, 10 February 2012 (UTC)
You did not read both my sentences, did you? -DePiep (talk) 10:46, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Proposal in the sandbox

I have prepared a proposal in the {{punctuation marks/sandbox}}. Please take a look at {{punctuation marks/testcases}} (new sandbox version is lefthand side) to check for any strange effects (Windows IE?).

Major change: the new box with the three variants now is a complete subtemplate box to make it more manageable. Also changed: some effects with the big symbol. Any comments? -DePiep (talk) 17:26, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

YesY Done Moved into live. -DePiep (talk) 08:52, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Variants: layout suggestions

Hi,

1. I think it would look better if the row for variants (when included) was always made 100% of the width of the box. At the moment, there can be a blank gap at the end, as illustrated below, which looks like something has gone wrong:

2. If no captions are provided then I think it would be better to suppress the row altogether than have empty grey boxes like this:

I collapsed the examples, and signed your edit. -DePiep (talk) 20:18, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
Good suggestions, I thought of them at first try. Not an easy thing though, so I left them. -DePiep (talk) 20:20, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

We could split {{Currency mark}}. -DePiep (talk) 20:21, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

[edit] DUMB BUNNY ALERT! --- stoopid question ahead

Hello, Punctuation Fans:

I've looked through the template and captions, and through the "Talk" page and archives, but no soap.

What does the vertical line to the left of the punctuation mark, shown in the large main image, represent? Does it represent a preceding space, a preceding letter, the edge of the computer screen for all I know? The coma is shown at the bottom of the vertical line with just a smidge of the tail projecting below it; the ampersand projects a little above the vertical line at the top of the mark and well above at the bottom; the is tee aligns with the top of the vertical line; the dagger and twice-as-menacing double dagger aggressively project both above and below the vertical line; the underscore is presented totally below the vertical line and tucked slight under it. It's just not clear to me what that dang vertical line means! And I'm so easily confused! Thank you for helping me understand this matter, Wordreader (talk) 21:20, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
