Keeping Stuff Clean[edit]

I prefer to keep my talk page nice and clean. Feel free to drop me a note if you need to talk to me, just don't expect me to be saving any long conversations here after a matter is resolved. Thanks. Doctorzuber 21:39, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Water Pressure[edit]

Doc, have you considered incorporating some of this stuff Hydrodynamics Education into the water pressure page. Readers would gain a much better understanding I think. Also this is releavant. --Arhm

I'm familiar with Kandaak's work on water pressure. I should probably add a link to that page somewhere although I think as things are it accurately represents the same information in my own way. --Doctorzuber 07:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

-Saw you're having issues with the image uploading - as far as I can tell (had the same problem like an hour ago) replacing the uploaded image uploads the new file but leaves the original image. You're probably best off uploading the file from scratch again. --[[User:Retro|Retro]] 23:18, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

-: Thanks for the tip, I'm hoping someone with the power to delete can just come along and nuke all that for me. There's no need to leave images with junk from my desktop stuck on it laying around here.  [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 23:24, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
-:: Following your tip I have uploaded it under Buzzard_Bait_2 which is now working. Hopefully an Admin or somebody can clean up the mess I left. Sorry! [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 23:38, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

-::: Next time, don't bother creating a new file.  Your old file would have worked fine; in fact, deleting the file doesn't actually remove the images from the server.  They are there permanently.  Only the most recent image revision is what will be displayed when you link to an image, the rest is just a history (like an article history). --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 23:55, 4 April 2010 (UTC)
-:::: I was trying to replace the file that has my desktop on it, that's really not necessary to have here. And in your edit you've done away with the version I wanted to keep, and left me back with the one I want to get rid of. *sigh* [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 23:59, 4 April 2010 (UTC)

-::::: It's showing up properly for me.  DFWiki forces caches on images for 1 year, so you have to manually bypass the browser to show the proper image.  Otherwise, it'll just show the image you uploaded first.  IE, working as intended, you just needed to force refresh your browser.  Next time, don't rant at an admin, usually not a wise course of action ;) --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 02:23, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
-:::::: Clear Cache huh? That may have been the source of my problem right from the start then. When I came back I saw the correct image with your post here, although I did have to force a refresh to see the correct image when I clicked on it. Thanks much for helping me resolve this issue. Feel free to nuke my comments back off your page now that this is all resolved.

-:::::: I also have a few questions just so I understand things a bit better around here. I was assuming admins do actually have the ability to truly delete things, or am I wrong in that? I also notice your guide says a filesize limit of 64 megs, which is absurdly large really, What is a reasonable filesize that is not going to get anybody angry with me around here? If there's anything else I should probably know about using files here It'd be nice to know to avoid causing more mischief around here. Thanks again.[[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 03:22, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
-::::::: All good.  I am the only person with the ability to actually permanently delete an image, as that requires direct server access to accomplish.  However, it's usually more trouble than it's worth.  Other admins can delete the image pages, which effectively bars access to those images, but if you know the image URI, then you can continue to access it (even old revisions); however, said image will no longer be resizeable or processable using the mediaWiki software.  The limit is set to 64mb just because it's so ridiculously large that noone should reasonably run into that limit.  I have, however, been surprised before.  Don't worry about image sizes, I have plenty of operational space allocated for the wiki. --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 03:27, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
-:::::::: Good to know, thanks for your time, sorry for causing such a fuss. [[User:Doctorzuber|Doctorzuber]] 03:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
-::::::::: No problem, and no fuss caused ;) --[[User:Briess|Briess]] 03:31, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
