[edit] Copyright violation in Frank McKinney

[edit] Order of entries on dab pages

Regarding this edit, note that the Manual of Style prescribes that disambiguation pages should be organized such that more commonly used entries come before less commonly used ones. For Siemens this means that the SI unit comes first, and that links to the company come before links to the family.--Srleffler 02:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

All right, good to know, but that's what I thought as well. I thought that Siemens AG was more popular than the SI units. For the general public, that is. ---Majestic- 02:48, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
Not sure. I generally rank SI units first on the grounds that they are very broadly used, but this isn't a particularly common SI unit, and Siemens is a pretty big company. I changed the organization of the page again, in a way that makes it less important which is the most common. The unit and the company now appear first, above all other entries. The problem was really that the page shouldn't have had section headings to begin with. Per the MoS, disambig pages should only have section headings if they have more than about 30 entries.--Srleffler 03:34, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Helsinki - Notable natives

Hi, i like the table you put in, but i had placed the people in order of birth, which you removed. I corrected this but just meant to point out for further edits. --Gillis 10:41, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't remove the order when I put them into a table, I put them in alphabetical order on July 25, as you can see. However, I added a note inside the code to tell others to keep the list in order of birth. ---Majestic- 10:52, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rail Simulator edits

I noticed that you reverted my edit to Rail Simulator that removed the Features section. While technically there isn't a POV to the section, it has a tone resembling an advertisement, and your inclusion and reinstatement of the section has left me with a suspicion that you are an employee of Kuju. Just keep that in mind when writing more for the article. Thanks. C. M. Harris 22:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

No, I have nothing to do with Kuju Entertainment or Electronic Arts whatsoever. Some of those "new features" were new to me when another wikipedian added to it. What you did wrong was that you didn't tell why you removed that section, you should always say the reason if you remove something. Now see the "new features" section at the Flight Simulator X article, isn't that an advertisement too? They are very similar in content, only the FSX article has 4 times the "advertisement content" of the KRS article. You should remove those as well, because one of those editors might be a Microsoft employee. ---Majestic- 23:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
That's actually a good idea. C. M. Harris 22:25, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fidel Castro references and footnotes

Why did you remove the two-column code ( <div class="references-small" style="-moz-column-count:2; column-count:2;"> ) from the article? You didn't give any reason. There are so many reference links that it would be better to list them in two columns. Works in Firefox, but not in IE6. ---Majestic- 14:07, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Eh, to be honest it was to make it easier to spot double refs. The references doesn't show when you preview; so I had to save it. And theeen, I forgot to edit it back. :O As such, it wasn't intended. Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 20:10, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:GoreBush.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:GoreBush.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Sports now?

Hi. I see you changed "Sports 4 color graphic" to "Sports now 4 color graphic" in the Flight sim history article. To my ear "Sports 4 color" or "Now sports 4 colors" work but "Sports now 4 color" ehe... doesn’t. I'm not English myself but I once had a Finn (you're finnish right?) in class and he sometimes arranged words oddly like that. What grammatical rules are you going by?--Anss123 21:44, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Half-Life 2 logo

I reverted your edit to Half-Life 2, in which you added the game logo. As I said in the edit summary, the logo does not help in identifying the article, as the box art already does. Logos are OK, but are only really used when the cover art has not been released. Thunderbrand 02:12, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Panasonic.JPG

This is still a better logo to use. While the motto "ideas for life", introduced in 2003, is likely to change next week or next year, the name of the company and its typeface is much more longstanding and also more historically important. —Centrx→talk • 13:39, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I am wary also of Image:Mslogohistorical.png. It is a different image, with a green background that was presumably a part of their branding. Please be more careful about replacing "redundant" images. —Centrx→talk • 13:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I'm fine with the Panasonic.JPG, but as far as the Microsoft logo goes, the green logo was a scan of cover of manual (and therefore of poor quality), and it was not part of their branding. It was the colour of the manual that this color scheme was chosen. ---Majestic- 13:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I deleted the now-B&W-replaced Panasonic JPG. The Microsoft article has a specific mention of the greenness of the old Microsoft logo, and even if it were not part of the official pristine logo or all the logos used, it is somewhat important. —Centrx→talk • 14:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I was mostly concerned about the green being a part of the history of the logo. Although, the original still might be better as being more accurate. For example, the SVG now doesn't have the (R) or (C) or whatever that mark is in the lower right, and the special O letter appears to have different dimensions than the original; perhaps it may have a greater height than the other letters. Even with correction, this is the sort of problem that arises; though it is not as bad as, say, replacing a photo with a ray-traced copy. —Centrx→talk • 15:34, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
This is the original version of the png logo uploaded here. This is a comparison of the two O's. You can't say much about a logo which is only 200 pixels wide and scanned from the 80's software manual. ---Majestic- 15:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
I understand. I have no strong objections to it; with the green it is fine. —Centrx→talk • 16:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Sony Ericsson logo.svg

Hi. Great improvement (transparency-wise). However would you consider uploading a lower resolution version, around the size used in the infobox? The tag you added reads "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of logos...qualifies as fair use". Thanks, Mark83 18:08, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much. That is still very good quality and a suitable size. I have to confess I'm not sure about "print quality" and fair use, I'm just confident that the updated version must be low enough resolution to qualify for fairuse. Mark83 18:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I noticed you used

AWB to removed a [
] I put into St. Brigid's Church article. The problem is, I notice, that the "categories" tend to run into the "references" of my articles on certain computers. The [
] puts a stop to this. Aside from your taking out my break which reintroduces the problem, how to solve it? --DavidShankBone 02:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AWB over-use

Please slow down using AWB and check out the rules of use of the software, thanks.--Andeh 04:38, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you missed this rule?
  • Avoid making insignificant minor edits such as only adding or removing some white space, moving a stub tag, converting some HTML to Unicode, removing underscores from links (unless they are bad links), or something equally trivial. This is because it wastes resources and clogs up watch lists.
—Mets501 (talk) 12:07, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

You seem to have edited every single Finland-stub with AWB. At least every one I have made. There's nothing wrong with that, I just find that many routine minor edits funny. JIP | Talk 17:49, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fasta Aland

Hi,

I created the Fasta Aland article. How do you add stub templates? Nicholassharland 14:59, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

You just add {{stub}} or more topic oriented stub, like {{Finland-stub}} to the end of the article. Here's a list of different stub templates to use. ---Majestic- 23:23, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Perfect. Thanks. Nicholassharland 15:10, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image tagging for Image:NFS-cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:NFS-cover.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Metallica logo.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Metallica logo.svg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --Durin 13:48, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

It was deleted from the article because it didn't work (appear on the page) when it was set to 150 pixels wide. It works if it's 125 or 175 pixels wide (these are what I tried). So it's on the article page again. ---Majestic- 13:43, 16 November 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Microsoft - Where do you want to go today.svg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Microsoft - Where do you want to go today.svg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. JDtalk 22:02, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nominated The Organisation for deletion

This article is premature at best. There are no real references, the only citation is a vague interview in which the producer don't even name the villain, a villain or mention "The Organisation" (or even "a organisation"). There is no mention of "The Organisation" in Casino Royale (2006 film) and its existence is only vaguely hinted at. Vague hints do not make for Wikipedia articles. It seems that this article is purely original research (violates Wikipedia:No original research policy). I am nominating this article for deletion. Its unnecessary and hints of the organisation Mr. White works for can be adequetely discussed in the Casino Royale article. You can contest the deletion move but there is really nothing solid to base an entire article on. --Eqdoktor 15:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nokia N80 Internet Edition

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Nokia N80 Internet Edition, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Nokia N80 Internet Edition. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
