[edit] Phi vs.varphi

Is there a way, instead, to make phi in sans-serif to look like "regular" phi? The standard symbol for latitude is regular phi (see Vincenty's formula (PDF)). ~Kaimbridge~19:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Moved it to my talk page: See my reply. ~Kaimbridge~15:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pseudo-devices

Hi Kbolino! I see you didn't like my contribution to Device node#Pseudo-devices. Could you tell which standard of Unix-likeness you are applying there? Even if all systems don't happen to have /dev/tty... and /dev/pty... they are still important and commonly-used as far as I know [1]. --TuukkaH 06:28, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About your change to Template:Communism2

I reverted your change of the image to the *.svg version of the Hammer and Sickle. I felt that the one I had before is more "even" looking and is more pure than just the way it appeared on the Soviet Union flag. This template represents Communism; not the Soviet Union! --NicAgent 00:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Mozilla-cokie.png

Hi. Thanks for uploading a new version of this image. I fully agree that the HTTP cookie article is better with the image from the newer and currently more used browser. However, it seems to me that the name Image:Mozilla-cokie.png is misleading for this image. Can I ask you to re-upload it as something like Image:Firefox-cokie.png (and change HTTP cookie to point to it?) I guess the old image could be possibly of some use (maybe in the Mozilla article, or somewhere else). Thank you. - Liberatore(T) 18:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are you an Icon maker?

I need a new User Box Due to the fact I was looking at the history of the Wikipedia "Icon"-article page today, I was on your User Page. I thought I'd contact you because I'd like to find someone to make a new User Box. Personally, I have no experience or expertise/knowledge for attempting to make one myself (not an artist at all).

I'd like to see a User Box for: "users who enjoy Cross-Country Skiing" As you may guess, these are pastimes that some of us in the North enjoy, and I believe there would be others with User Pages who also enjoy this recreation/sport [2] and might put the Box on their page.

Thanks for considering my request. Joel Russ 16:17, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Windows XP

Windows XP is discontinued and in the Extended Support phase of Microsoft's lifecycle. Its successor Windows Vista has been released and is now Microsoft's current version of windows. Windows XP was released on October 25, 2001 and as of 2006, five years old. Microsoft states on its lifecycle web page [3] that it offers a minimum of ten years support five years mainstream support, and five years of extended support. Windows XP has reached the seasoned age of five years and is therefor in the extended support phase. |64.126.42.123 01:40, 21 September 2006 (UTC)


Just an FYI, this anon IP has been causing problems for a couple of months; for quite a while he was changing the History of Windows template to indicate that Windows CE 6.0 was released,[4] and doing other things like inappropriate changing captions on images[5][6], repeatedly trying to argue that Windows 2000 hasn't been discontinued,[7] (and he linked to a page from prior to Windows XP's release as their sole proof that Windows 2000 is not discontinued, see Talk:Windows 2000), likewise with Windows 95[8], Windows 98 is abandonware?[9], and so on. Not a single useful contribution yet, so far as I can tell! -/- Warren 20:12, 21 September 2006 (UTC)
