[edit] Removal of article

Mr. Lasher, I did not remove your article. The Wikipedia admins did, as per the policies in effect on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. We welcome all interested parties to edit the Wikipedia, but I would like to strongly recommend that, as relatively new users, you and your associates please familiarize yourself with the site's policies and guidelines so as to avoid further disputes. Thank you, Girolamo Savonarola 22:57, 26 March 2006 (UTC)


Welcome!

[edit] Signature

When you edit an article you don't sign them. Just sign your comments on talk pages and things like that. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:35, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Another tip on adding things to categories. First find the article, in this case Panama Limited does not exist but Panama Limited (Amtrak) does and is a redirect to City of New Orleans. Now the Panama Limited and Panama Limited (Amtrak) may be the same or they may be different, I have no idea. So you can click on Panama Limited and either make a redirect or start a new article. A redirect is made by putting in #REDIRECT [[City of New Orleans]]. If you create the article and want to put it in a category, then at the bottom you would add [[Category:Named passenger trains of the United States]] and it will automatically be added to the correct category. Have fun. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:56, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] adding user name to Wikipedians in New South Wales.

Can someone show me how to do this. The page which states 'To add yourself ...' is confusing, so I do not know where on my userpage to add the into. Thanks.--Jslasher 01:29, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

It's done. As you add more stuff to your user page you should try and keep the category at the bottom. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 06:02, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing out articles

Hi, I did a quick check on one of the labels you mentioned and it didn't exist, the best thing that I can suggest is to create just one of those articles... then watch the categories for deletion page, if an article is to be deleted there is usually a keep/delete vote actually on the articles discussion page, it is there that you can argue for or against an article staying. Good luck Nick Boulevard 17:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 3-strip overlap

Feel free to correct me here, but isn't the overlap in the actual projected image somewhat imperfect? I think on your site there are tech specs about this. Let me ask, since maybe I'm misunderstanding - "Between Match Lines" and "Perforation Overlap" - what are these definitions of? Anyway, look forward to hearing your response! Thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 09:00, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Just to get the workprints issue out of the way, I'm not too keen to rely on the prints, since they can easily be prone to many environmental and aging factors that can change the measurements if used as a first source. The machinery and technical papers tend to be more reliable, with prints as a secondary source to verify the info.
In either case, here's what I've found. Sorry for the odd formatting, but it's easier than re-wrapping all the lines.
<<Page 25 Paragraph 5 “Kinopanorama specifications”>> 
The specifications for Kinopanorama are different than those for Cinerama and Cinemiracle.  The following 
specifications are estimates based upon careful examination and measurements of Kinopanorama frame samples, 
along with data collected from other sources.  For the sake of clarity, the complete specifications for Kinopanorama 
are as follows, with corrections and clarifications added as needed:  Camera and Negative:  Film(s): 3 x 35mm; 
Lenses: Interchangeable lens sets of 3 x 27mm, 35mm, 50mm, 75mm, and 100mm; Effective overall useable camera 
aperture width perf-to-perf 3 x 35mm: 71.72 mm (2.824"); Distance between matchlines: 23.8 mm (0.912"); 
Overlap from adjacent perfs for each film: 2.2 mm (0.087"); Camera aperture height for each film: 28.0 mm 
(1.102"); Camera aperture width for each film (runs into perfs): 25.5 mm (1.004"); Effective aspect ratio of camera 
exposed area (runs into perfs): 2.57 x 1; Effective aspect ratio of useable camera exposed area: 2.56 x 1; Perfs per 
frame: 6; Camera perf style: Kodak Standard (KS); Linear camera film speed: 140.625 ft. per min.; Useable 
horizontal angular visual field to be used for projected image: 146, 116, 80, 56, or 38 degrees;  Useable vertical 
angular visual field to be used for projected image: 55, 44, 30, 21, or 14 degrees; Individual camera horizontal 
angular visual field to be used for projected image: 50, 40, 27, 19, or 13 degrees.  Release print:  Film(s): 3 x 35mm; 
Projected image height for each film: 27.5 mm (1.083"); Projected image width for each film: 24.8 mm (0.976"); 
Effective overall maximum projectable aperture width: 2.801"; Effective overall maximum projectable aperture 
aspect ratio: 2.59 x 1; Perfs per frame: 6; Projector perf style: Kodak Standard (KS); Projector speed: 25 frames per 
second; Projector linear film speed: 140.625 ft. per min. except for the films photographed in Sovscope which were 
135 ft. per min.; Screen curvature: 146 degrees or 120 degrees or 90 degrees; Sound system: 35mm interlocked 
magnetic; Soundtrack reproducer linear speed: Same as projector; Sound format: Discrete stereophonic; 
Soundtracks: Nine; Recorded soundtrack width (each track): 1.6 mm (0.063"); Soundtrack reproducer head width 
(each track): 1.25 mm (0.050"); Adjacent soundtrack center-to-center spacing: 3.15 mm (0.124"); Outer soundtrack 
center-to-center spacing to adjacent soundtrack: 7.05 mm (0.2775"); Soundtrack assignments to speaker channels 
(normal): 1 - Left, 2 - Left Center, 3 - Center, 4 - Right Center, 5 - Right, 6 - Right wall surround, 7 - Back wall 
surround; 8 - Left wall surround; 9 - Above (ceiling) surround.  Note that the Kinopanorama soundtrack 8 is 
positioned where the Cinerama soundtrack 7 is located so that Cinerama movies may be presented on 
Kinopanorama equipment without special sound patching except for prints that used Cinerama’s special effect 
sound configuration.  Kinopanorama soundtrack 7 was located outside of the perfs adjacent to soundtrack 8, and 
soundtrack 9 was located outside of the perfs adjacent to soundtrack 1.
That's from "Wide Screen Movies" Corrections, which is an essential resource. I've just copied it and placed it here, so give me a minute to read it, too! :) Girolamo Savonarola 09:20, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Why don't you ask Martin Hart if he'd be interested in the workprint stills and the copies of the Kinopanorama info? I'm certain he'd be far more eager and capable of making sense of it fairly quickly considering his immense background with 3-panel processes. Don't get me wrong, I'm interested, but I feel that he'd be a far better resource. Girolamo Savonarola 09:45, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Corrections to Tech Specs on Kinopanorama Website.

Although the corrections suggested by Girolamo were accurate at the time, and, replaced those previously on the www.kinopanorama.biz website, they have since been called into question by Mr Dan Sherlock, from whom some of the original information was extracted by Girolamo.--Jslasher 04:29, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Attention Birthday Committee Members!

I just have a few general announcements to make to all members of the Birthday Commitee:
  • First, I will be going on a Wikibreak from June 13 to Semptember 10. I really hate being gone for that long, and have to choose someone else to run the committee for those few months. I've asked Mr. Turcotte, and he agreed to it, and knows who to ask next if he changes his mind.
  • Second, I've decided to make some membership requirements. They're pretty easy to comply to, so pretty much anyone who asks will get in. New members now need 100 edits, to have not been blocked at all over the last 3 months, and to not have been blocked for anymore than 48 hours total since joining the site.
  • Third, if you still haven't posted your birthday on the project page, please do so.
  • Fourth, if you'd like to make some new "Happy Birthday Templates," feel free to do so, but I'd like to see and approve/disapprove of all of them first. I'll probably say yes to all of them, though.
  • Fifth, the WP:BDC project page needs to be cleaned-up a little. I'll get working on that, but if anyone else has changes they want to make, feel free.
  • Finally, we need a new template to welcome new members with. If I have time, I'll do it. Please use the name "Template:Birthday Welcome" for it.

[edit] New Birthday Committee Bulletin Format

Birthday Committee Bulletin Board

I just have a few announcements.

  • A new sub-discussion page has been formed to discuss the possibility of a change to the membership requirements. I am aware that while I think that they should be raised, others feel that there shouldn't even be any. Please post your opinion on Wikipedia talk:Birthday Committee/Membership Requirements Steveo2 11:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Please see the BDC Talk Page for more news, including the possibility of a merger with Esperanza. Steveo2 11:19, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
  • While Steveo2 is gone, I will take his place as Current Leader. If you have any comments, ideas, or any questions feel free to contact me. Mr. Turcottetalk
  • We added a second First Edit Day Template a few weeks ago. We have also added four Happy Adminship templates in the past few days as well. Be sure to wish users a First Edit Birthday and Adminship anniversary. The users and their dates can be found on the Esperanza Calendar on the Project Page. Enjoy. Thistheman
  • Many thanks to Draicone for adding headers to our Birthday Committee pages. They look wonderful! Thistheman
  • Remember the rules for new birthday templates. You only need my approval if the template is drastically different from the ones already existing. (Just to be clear, I realize I have no right to dictate which templates you can make and keep. However, only the ones I approve will appear on the Wikipedia:Birthday Committee page.) While Steveo2 is gone you have to get my approval. Mr. Turcottetalk
  • If you'd like, you may post on this bulletin board. It's found on Template:BDC Bulletin 1. You may use it to suggest new policy changes, or anything else you think is too important to only go on the talk page. Sign all announcements that you add. Mr. Turcottetalk
  • Everyone is doing an excellent job wishing people a happy birthday and getting the word of our committee out. Thanks everyone! You can check which Wikipedians have been wished a Happy Birthday here. Mr. Turcottetalk
  • As we reach 140 members wished by committee members, I'd like to point out that we're only limited by the number of people listing their birthday on the Esparanza calendar. So shouldn't we focus on encouraging users to add their important dates, so that our 15 odd members (and any new ones, like me!) have enough work to go round? --Draicone (talk) 14:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Imre

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Imre, 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:Imre. 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.
