Replacement of image in Slot Car entry

What was the rationale for your 22 Nov 2018 redesign of an image captioned "Typical Electric Circuit of a 1:24 or 1:32 Slot Car Track" in the Slot Car entry? D.Helber (talk) 17:18, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@D.Helber: I made a vector graphics version of the diagram, as that is the preferred format for diagrams such as these. Additionally, it does not contain any English text and was uploaded to Commons, so it may be used in other languages. Pbrks (talk) 18:23, 6 January 2020 (UTC)
I now see that there exists a vectorized version of your diagram that you made back in 2009. The file could (and probably should) be cleaned up and used in the article. Pbrks (talk) 18:27, 6 January 2020 (UTC)

@D.Helber: I've taken the liberty of fixing File:SlotcarElecCircuit.svg. Feel free to add it to the article. Pbrks (talk) 01:31, 7 January 2020 (UTC)

Pbrks, thank you so much for your help. I was not aware that text in illustrations should be in easily translated format, but it's an excellent idea. I have replaced the second version with your modified translatable SVG. D.Helber (talk) 19:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

A message from Brandon Downes

I've recently edited the Call of Duty League article to include the results from the leagues first weekend and it just doesnt look as clean as I want it, but being new I'm really not up to scratch with my coding so I was wondering if you could help. I saw that you did a bunch on Dallas Fuel but particularly in 2018 Dallas Fuel Season, I really like how the collapsible results look and I think it would be great to have in the results for the CDL too. Instead of people just seeing a 3-2 they can then see individual games within in a series. I just don't know how to go about creating a collapsible results box like that so if you could help that would be greatly appreciated! Brandon Downes (talk) 02:35, 30 January 2020 (UTC)

@Brandon Downes: Hello. The game logs are merited for team season pages, as they directly pertain to the article (like, as you noted, 2018 Dallas Fuel season). However, if I went through the effort of making them for CDL, I believe that they would likely get removed from the main CDL page, and the work would have been for naught. In fact, the article 2019 Overwatch League season had a schedule with results (this edit ), but it was removed not even 8 hours later. I'm not explicitly saying "no", but I'd like to get some input from other editors before creating them.
With that being said, there should be a season standings on the CDL page, and, if you would like, I can create a standings template that would be need to be updated after every event. As a side note, I also plan to make roster tables, such as the one you can find on the OWL team pages. Pbrks (talk) 04:37, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
No I completely understand getting input from other editors on the matter especially when I'm pretty new. With how new the league is we're just sort of in limbo as regards to whether it will happen for more seasons. I'm expecting it to, with organisations spending $25 million I doubt it only goes for one season but Masem suggested we wait until more seasons get confirmed until an individual season page is created. My idea for the collapsible results box will probably be best suited for when/if the individual season and individual team seasons are created. A standings template would be awesome if that's possible and team roster tables would look great compared to the standard ones I threw together. Thanks!--Brandon Downes (talk) 13:08, 30 January 2020 (UTC)
@Brandon Downes: I have no doubt that there will be more than one season (and, in my opinion, a 2020 CDL season page could/should exist now). Let me know if there's anything else you need! Pbrks (talk) 04:40, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
I think there should be too as it would really make it easier to track events. At the moment just the roster tables you said you were making and as soon as they're finished I'll get round to updating all the pages. Also currently waiting for the Royal Ravens page to make it through draft as some editor decided that out of all the team pages she would move that one back to draftspace. --Brandon Downes (talk) 04:48, 31 January 2020 (UTC)
@Brandon Downes: Yes. Take a look at {{
