[edit] HKWNB, HKCOTW, Current events

Hiya. Thanks for your contributions to some Hong Kong-related articles. You might be interested to take a look at HK wikipedians' notice board, HK Collaboration of the Week and Current events in Hong Kong and Macao. Enjoy! :-D — Jerry Crimson Mann 28 June 2005 07:50 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimania 2006

This is a reminder to all that there will be a meeting of Vancouver area Wikipedians on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2005 at 1:00 p.m. for all interested persons. We will meet in McDonald's at 897 Granville St. and Smithe in downtown Vancouver. This site was chosen simply because its central location and easy recognizability would make it easier for people who have never seen each other to find each other. Please feel free to bring additional interested people.

There are two questions to be discussed:

  1. Is there any interest for starting a Vancouver (or BC) chapter of Wikipedia?
  2. Is there enough interest and ability to make a Vancouver bid for Wikimania 2006?

[edit] Wikimedia Canada

Hi there! I'd like to invite you to explore Wikimedia Canada, and create a list of people interested in forming a local chapter for our nation. A local chapter will help promote and improve the organization, within our great nation. We'd also like to encourage everyone to suggest projects for our national chapter to participate in. Hope to see you there!--DarkEvil 17:11, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Vancouver and the GVRD

To all WikiProject Vancouver participants: A question has been raised in the WikiProject discussion about whether the entire GVRD should be covered by WP Vancouver. I'd love to hear your input on this on the discussion page because I think it is a possibility despite the amount of workload involved.

Also, don't forget that there is a Yahoo Group for WP Vancouver [1] if you want to be involved in a possible Vancouver meetup. Thanks. :) --Buchanan-Hermit™..CONTRIBS..SPEAK!. 21:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] West Vancouver

Can you think of anything that we're really missing on that article. I've contacted a historian at the archives about some early history and possibly historical photos (as well as copyright status on them) so I shall see what I can find there. I'm trying to find a solid solid source on the amount of land bought in the Lions Gate Bridge deal, I have seen varying figures. Thanks for your additions by the way, they look great :) -- Tawker 01:40, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kent-Meridian High School

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kent-Meridian High School, I just thought you'd like to know that the consensus for High School articles now appears to be swinging back in favor of deletion. So this may indicate the beginning of another campaign to remove most High School articles. Your opinion on the AfD article would be appreciated. It might be helpful if a notability standard for High Schools could be agreed upon. Thank you. — RJH (talk) 16:40, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Miniicq.JPG)

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Miniicq.JPG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. 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.

If you have uploaded other fair use 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 12:58, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vancouver move

Regarding the requested move, wouldn't the reason you stated be a vote to oppose the change then? -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 05:28, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, it says "Vancouver to Vancouver, British Columbia" and "Vancouver (disambiguation) to Vancouver". From what I understand... Vancouver (dab) will be moved to Vancouver, and the current Vancouver article would move to Vancouver, British Columbia. Therefore, if you're looking for Vancouver (the Canadian city), you will need to type in "Vancouver, British Columbia" and not "Vancouver." I hope I didn't confuse it further for you. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 05:52, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
No problem. Glad to help. -→Buchanan-Hermit™/?! 06:03, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Luckyluke, Thanks for helping me build the VFS wiki site. This is my first time creating a Wiki page. I wanted to say I prefer the wording used by Saxifrage for the 20th Anniversary section. Also, the location section has been removed. Most schools have a Location section. Can you please revert back to the version with the Location section, please? Thanks!

[edit] Image:Twinstogether.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Twinstogether.png. 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. 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 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. --Chowbok ☠ 22:58, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:IMG 0534.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:IMG 0534.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}. If you have not already done so, please also include the source of the image. In many cases this will be the website where you found it.

Please specify the copyright information and source on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu Badali 15:17, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Scienceworld.jpg

You tagged this as GFDL-presumed, which is supposed to mean that you believe the uploader is the creator. However, I don't think this is the case with this image. There is no reason to assume that it's either GFDL or free for non-commercial use (as you wrote on the image description page). As such, I've listed it at WP:PUI.

[edit] Info in Urine Therapy article

Hi, LuckyLuke:

If I understand the page history correctly, you have made a lot of contributions to the Urine Therapy page, one of which is the comment (added on November 10th) about urine containing "metabolites of corticosteriods" and this being a possible explanation for its beneficial action and the warning about its dire side effects.

I wonder where you have obtained this information, or whether it is your own conclusion. I must confess that I am extremely dubious about these ideas, for the following reasons:

1) As I understand it, the total solid content of urine is about 5%, the other 95% being water. Of this 5%, about half is urea. Therefore, all other substances in urine constitute just 2.5%. I assume this is by weight, since solids (salts, stc) are not usually measured by volume.

Supposing that a user of urine therapy drank, say, 50 ml of urine in the morning. This would weigh about 50g, so the total solid content, excluding the urea, would be 2.5% of this, which is about 1.25g. Of course, only a minute fraction of this would be the metabolites of corticosteroids.

According to the doses of corticosteroids indicated in reference 5 in the urine therapy article, this is a very low dose ("medium" doses are quoted as 10-20 g/day).

So I don't see how the doses of these substances received via the urine could really be effective, and more to the point, I really don't see how they would be expected to cause the problems suggested, of adrenal cortex dysfunction and early aging.

2) In any case, if I understand it correctly, we are talking here about "metabolites" of corticosteroids, which I take to be the remnants of corticosteroids after they have been broken down by the body's metabolism. In other words, there are no corticosteroids in the urine, only the remnants that remain after their destruction. So both arguments, the hypothetical explanation of how urine therapy works and the proposed side effects, seem invalid.

I look forward to seeing your comments on this.

Regards, --PeterC.en 19:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
