Trivia sections

Hi Terrainman, thank you very much for your edits, I'm impressed! I noticed you added a trivia section to Troika Games. Such sections are typically not made on Wikipedia as they can attract a lot of unsourced anecdotes. Just something to keep in mind — thanks again! Nyakase (talk 🐈‍⬛‍ she/her) 14:37, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks very much. I couldn't resist adding that bit of trivia I'm afraid, I'll refrain from doing it in the future or adding more to it haha 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 14:46, 16 November 2024 (UTC)

So, on beer...

Hi Terrainman,

I just had to revert your edits on some beer-related articles. It is not correct to remove the word 'beer' from the lead, as any type of beer, be it lager, Italian grape ale, barrel-aged pastry stout, spontaneously fermented lambic, you name it, is first a beer. There is no 'family' of fermentation types, i.e., lagers or ales. That some beers are bottom fermented and others are top fermented doesn't say anything, really. Not about its style, alcohol percentage, country or region of origin, taste, hoppiness, etc. What was a good addition was adding porter and stout to the article on ale, so thank you for that! Usually I'd start a talk page discussion, but since you made several beer-related edits, I just left you a message. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 05:29, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Oh sorry, left a message on your talk page as well! I take your point that ale vs lager may not be the overarching catergories I thought they were, I like the view that beers can be catergorised into the two major catergories of top and bottom fermented but perhaps that's just me being too particular. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 05:35, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

{tpc} Hi! Please keep discussion in one place, I've copy-pasted your response here. You can reply here, if you like.

If was about to hit save and saw you posted here. Maybe the articles on lagers will need some editing too, because that's clunky as well. Any type of lager is also a beer first. And I am not saying you shouldn't mention the word ale or top-fermented, but it's predominantly a beer, right? So instead of taking that word out, it's best to expand its meaning of a particular beer style, i.e., "a beer that is an ale", "a bottom-fermented dark beer". soetermans. ^{↑↑↓↓←→←→ B A TALK} 05:51, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

I'm trying to think of a way of including the fact it is a ale without it sounding odd, since just stitching on 'x is a kind of ale' after it has been described as a beer is weird. You could say 'x is a style of beer, specifically an ale,' perhaps... 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 05:58, 27 November 2024 (UTC)

Space Race images

I saw that you were keeping images that are in violation of WP:MOS guidelines (mainly MOS:LAYOUT, precisely MOS:LAYIM and MOS:SANDWICH) in Space Race, especially when the number of images in the article are excessive (your revert brought the amount of images in the article to over 40). The importance of an image does NOT give it immunity to MOS guidelines, though some of the images you claimed were 'top importance' like Venera 13's image aren't really important (do we really need another old image of Venus's surface from a space probe that did not capture the first image of Venus?) and the 'Big Joe' rock (what's so 'important' about a nicknamed rock that doesn't have its own article?) on Mars, not to mention that you readded an image (Space Shuttle Atlantis and Mir) that is already used earlier in the lead! Your reverts are not improving the article and are actually making it worse. Your are free to replace the images with the ones you believe are the most important, but please refrain from adding more. There are more than enough images and we do not need any more. _ZZ^Z'S 05:17, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi, let's work together to improve the ordering of the images for a better layout. This is a long article, I'm not sure the number of images is excessive after your initial edits; but thank-you for trimming it down, I agree fully that those initial images you removed were less important.

The Venera 13 image is the first colour photograph of Venus. But I take your point, that one is not top importance but more high importance. The 'big joe' rock image, again, is one of the first images of mars that isn't a black and white image of the ground/footpad. The big joe rock part is not the 'point' of the image being there. I don't think two images of the first photos of Mars and Venus ever taken is excessive. Nor the Moon. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 05:23, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I now see why you'd keep the coloured images of the planet's surface. However, I do not believe that would be a priority during the space race, not to mention the lack of room for such images to be included without causing stacking problems and/or sandwiching the text. Honestly, I'd suggest removing them IF they cannot be included without violating MOS guidelines. Also, if there are so many images that the text is being sandwiched and is causing stacking problems, it's a pretty big sign that you have too many images (even the guideline says it; from MOS:LAYIM, If "stacked" images in one section spill over into the next section at 1024×768 screen resolution, there may be too many images in that section.) _ZZ^Z'S 05:40, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Thank-you for pointing me to the stacking guideline. In 1024x768 I don't currently see any stacking in the article however. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 05:49, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

I do in my browser. Are you sure you set it to the right dimensions? _ZZ^Z'S 05:56, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

Yes I was in 1024x768, could you specify where you see overflow/stacking? 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 05:56, 10 December 2024 (UTC)

"not to mention that you readded an image (Space Shuttle Atlantis and Mir) that is already used earlier in the lead! Your reverts are not improving the article and are actually making it worse"

Please remember to WP:AFG.

The image being a collage of images in the lead does not mean it cannot be used later, especially in this context. 𝙏𝙚𝙧𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙣𝙢𝙖𝙣地形人 (talk) 05:27, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
