[edit] BCC Fun Facts

Hi there. I saw that you fleshed out the BCC article. I think you would have to re-write the "Fun Facts" section, because as it is, it's probably a copyright violation of http://www.bcc.ctc.edu/40years/fun_facts/ . Regards, Fleminra 00:32, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guatemala Portal

Hi. I was browsing and came across Portal:Guatemala, which you created some time ago. Are you still interested in building and maintaining it? If not, I could ask on the community portal for someone to help it out, and can make it look nice without much effort by myself, although updates will be sparse as I don't have time to maintain lots of portals. (Portal:Latin America keeps me busy.) If you would like to build it (even if you don't want to continually maintain it) and would like help, feel free to ask. --Estrellador* 13:12, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Sure. I can direct you to the help sections dealing with portals; however, they are not great, IMHO. Do you have any specific questions? If you want an easy way of creating good-looking stuff without learning the code, just copy off the featured portals (see for example what I have just done on the intro to the portal, which was stolen off Portal:Australia.) I have fixed up the formatting, which should hopefully help you input things into the boxes.

Here are some helpful links; however, you may have found them already:

(P.S. From experience, I have found that if there is a formatting problem, 99/100 times it is because there are not enough tags (either that or not enough

tags) :-).

[edit] Grigori Perelman

I see no reason to doubt his Jewish heritage, but someone else keeps adding that. I already said myself on the talk page that I think it is probably an unneccessary distraction. ---CH 22:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

THanks for your comments. I agree with you I don't have a problem putting his heritage in the article but there's no references whatsoever. Thanks. --alfiboy 17:54, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
(Note: moved from user talk page archive (!!!!) by myself ---CH 03:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC))

I don't know why you added this comment to one of my user talk archive pages, and I only noticed it by accident. I assume you somehow overlooked the header I added to all of these pointing out that these are archive pages and asking users not to edit them (I have already had to request page protection of one because of vandalism)...

In any case I declared quite clearly (as I thought) on Talk:Grigori Perelman that I am too disgusted with fanatics who wish to hijack that article to further their personal political agendas to continue my efforts to improve it. ---CH 03:29, 25 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Capt.dfec6e5578e947dfaf98bdbd83d15624.species survivor flbk101.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Capt.dfec6e5578e947dfaf98bdbd83d15624.species survivor flbk101.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. —Angr 10:37, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
