Oh, one more thing. I saw that you uploaded a picture of yourself at Image:Colin.gif. That's great, but images uploaded to Wikipedia have to have licenses regarding their copyright status. Take a look at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for some ideas. I'd say one of {{GFDL-self}} or {{PD-self}} would be your best bet. Technically it should be the photographer, not the subject of the photograph, to do this, but I for one am not fussy about the difference. If you could go back the picture, click "edit this page", and slap a tag on it, that would be great. Technically, images without tags can be deleted at any time (though in practice you do usually get a warning first). --Angr (tɔk) 11:09, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tests should go on the sandbox

Hi! I noticed you edited the misc reference desk to test some wiki code or whatever. Well, we have the Wikipedia:Sandbox for these purposes, and please, from now on test on that page. You might also want to create your own sandbox to try certain tags and formatting for later use. ☢ Ҡieff 08:29, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request of translation

Hello, Mr. Givnan. I still make sentences from the website called 田代まさし波瀾万丈伝 on Masashi Tashiro's article but I have trouble because I'm unable to edit it in clean English. I would like you to correct and add it from the website. There's his detailed biography in this website! Would you help me if you are OK, please? And, there are sections called "Success", "Criminal charges" etc. You may change it to more appropriate name in his article. For example, I made section called "Early life" on his article but please change its name appropriately if you think you had better change it. In addition, would you write translation from "Haran-Banjoden" website as detailed and perfectly as possible? and I'm very very glad if you create and improve his article because you can understand German, French, Latin, Russian and Mandarin. Please answer to me. --Hatto 02:14, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reference Desk

Did you get my response at Wikipedia:Reference_desk/Language#Japanese_Question? I'm not a professional interpreter myself (yet), though I have had a few stints and I might do some more in the future. I'd like to know if it helped you or not.  freshofftheufoΓΛĿЌ  15:15, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
