[edit] "Click"

I've noticed you have modified a bunch of the planet pages to include the phrase "Click for larger image" under the photos. While this is fine for those of us with graphical browsers, not everyone uses a mouse to view the Internet, nor does everyone even see images. I think a better solution would be to have a link that says "Larger version" or "Large photo." Links should make sense when extracted from the text and viewed alone; links that just say "click here" are hardware-biased and not helpful if you don't see the surrounding text or images. (Some blind people, for example, use programs that can read the links on a page. When a link says just "click here," they have no way of knowing what's behind that link.) --Bkell 20:58, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Actually, my suggestion is twofold. First, the word "click" should be changed to something less mouse-centric. Second, the text itself should be made a link, so that even folks who don't have image-viewing capabilities can see the details about the image if they want them. --Bkell 21:54, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Addendum: Actually, does Wikipedia do something with images automatically so people without image capabilities can see the image details? I don't actually know how it works. --Bkell 21:56, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Salt Lake 2002 photo

Hey, thanks for contributing the beautiful photo of the Olympic flame stand at the 2002 Winter Olympics! It made the page a factor 10 or so better IMNSHO :-) --Wernher 00:22, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Supercomputers

Thanks for the redirect and sorry for the embarassing mistake! Was working on the Dutch Wikipedia and got mixed up between the languages when checking for a similar article here. 129.105.186.193 04:16, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Table Tennis Picture

Hi Minesweeper,

I do appreciate your inclusion of the picture in the TT wiki, but I do have to say that you might be able to find a pic that better represents the speed and athleticism of the sport. Like: [1] :)

Please, don't use this jpg without first getting permission from Royce Wong. You can see the full set of pics at: http://www.usatt.org/tip_photo/031504.shtml

By the way, is that you?

[edit] Strange space in "Marshall Plan"

from the pump

Does anyone know why there is a large gap before the table in the "Marshall Plan expenditures" section of Marshall Plan? It appears in all the different skins. Is something clashing with the new software? --Minesweeper 01:19, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

The HTML indentation confused the new software. As a stop-gap, I've removed the indentation. In the longer term, the page should be migrated to the new table format. You should file a bug on this (hey, I'm sleepy!), although a fix may not be possible. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 01:31, 30 May 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Elliott Abrams

Hi, I just noticed your edits to Elliott Abrams. You converted many instances of US to U.S. I have done the opposite many times. I searched the help pages for some guidance and only came up with this: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (acronyms). It is no big deal, only I hate the idea of working at crosspurposes. -- Viajero 10:25, 6 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Game 6

The game 6 article referred to a single, specific game, not the 1986 World Series as a whole. You should revert the page to the way it was before, and if you like, create a link from the "1986 World Series" page to the "Game 6" page.

[edit] thanx

Mine, Very nice reformat at perfect game. Thank you much for it. ww 18:25, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Capitol photo

You overwrote a PD image of the capitol with a new one which you didn't provide source/copyright infromation for. Could you do so. image:Capitol.jpg. Ed g2s 15:43, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Please comment on Variable

Hi! As you are one of the people who has edited the article "Variable" recently, I would like to ask your advice. Taku and myself have a difference of opinion on a section of that article. If you have the time, could you take a look there and at Talk:Variable and provide your input? Thanks! --FOo 01:34, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] greetings

Hello. I found you from the history of the NVIDIA Corporation article and I noticed hat you study EE and CS. I am looking for worthy individuals who are interested in hardware technology, computer science and mathematics. If you are this kind of person, I would like to invite you in a non-Wikipedia project for the creation of CS and IT wikis. If you like this idea, please list your name in the User:Npc/List page. Thanks. Npc 12:14, 19 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Article Licensing

I've "started" the Free the Rambot Articles Project which aims to get users to release all of their contributions to the U.S. state, county, and city articles under the CC-by-sa 1.0 and 2.0 license (at minimum) or into the public domain if they prefer. A secondary goal is to get those users to release ALL of their edits for ALL articles. I've personally chosen to multi-license all of the rambot and Ram-Man contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike License so that other projects, such as WikiTravel, can use our articles. I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all your contributions (or at minimum those on the geographic articles) so that we can keep most of the articles available under the multi-license. Many users use the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or even {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) on their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I understand, but I thought I'd at least ask, just in case, since the number of your edits is in the top 50 most. If you do want to do it, simply just copy and paste one of the above two templates into your user page and it will allow us to track those users who have done it. For example:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain (which many people do or don't like to do, see Wikipedia:Multi-licensing), you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}} -- Ram-Man 16:53, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Galilean satellites.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Galilean satellites.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use {{gfdl}} if you release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much, – Quadell (talk) (help)[[]] 17:37, Dec 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] PD-USGov Picture

Hello
In reply to your talkback. I would like to thank you for letting me know about the copyright status of that picture. I assumed because it is a picture of Kufuor and Bush but has no indication of the source. It would be fair as it is just a picture of two leaders. But because (And I again asumme) you are American, you would have a better knowledge of U.S fair use laws then me. I'll try to keep in mine what you have said :-) [[User:Squash|Squash (Talk)]] 21:28, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Political party color codes?

Hi! I understand you are the maker of the "fancy tables" for lists of office holders, like the one on List of Governors of California. The List of Governors of Mississippi was well-structured, it just needed conversion, so I did that. I was wondering tho, do you have a list of color codes for political parties and strange cases? B/c I came across a Union-Democrat, a provisional governor and a military governor. I figured out red=Republican, blue=Dems, yellow=Whigs, etc., by example, but I was wondering if there was guide. Thanks!! jengod 00:16, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] High Res Image of Barristers?

Hi Minesweeper: I need to get a high-res image of the Barrister photo in Wikipedia. I think you contributed it to Wikipedia.

I would love to use the Barrister photo for a project we are doing to assist US law students (who cannot get into an ABA school) to attend an English law school and would like to use the photo to show what Barristers look like.

It is under the entry: Barrister. Sincerely, Nigel Grant.

[edit] Email address for Nigel Grant (Barristers)

I am new to this so please don't snigger.

My email address is grantslaw@aol.com. I need that photo before the weekend if at all possible?

[edit] the issue of school articles

In November 2003, you participated in a VfD debate over Sunset High School (Portland). The debate was archived under Talk:Sunset High School (Portland). The issue over this article remains contested. moreover, there still does not exist a wikipedia policy (as far as i can tell) over what to do in regards to articles about specific U.S. public school. The article in question has been re-nominated for VfD at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Sunset High School (Portland). My hope is that a real consensus can come out of the debate, and a real policy can take shape. Take part if you are so willing. Kingturtle 02:13, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC) P.S. The history of the debate can also be reviewed and discussed at Are high schools encyclopedic?.

Thank you. —MetsBot 18:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jeb Bush

I noticed that you were one of the first to edit the Jeb Bush article a couple of years ago. There is currently a dispute over the article's neutrality, photographs and formatting. It would be great if you could give your opinion on the matter. Thanks much. --BaronLarf 18:34, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] expos/nationals debate

There is a major debate going on, and I wondered if you might want to chime in. The debate involves how to deal with franchise moves in baseball. The question is whether Montréal Expos should be its own article or if it should redirect to Washington Nationals. All other instances of franchise moves in MLB redirect the old team name to the new team name, and the history of the franchise is covered within the new team name (for MLB, NBA and NFL examples, see here. Some people are confused and think the Expos and the Nats are different teams. Some people don't want to upset Canadian readers.

Indeed, the Washington Nationals are not a new team - the Montreal Expos franchise has moved to Washington, and the old franchise name should redirect to the new franchise name, just like the 20+ instances of this occuring in Wikipedia. For example, Brooklyn Dodger history resides in the Los Angeles Dodgers article. New York Giants history, including the Shot Heard 'Round the World, resides in the San Francisco Giants article.

If you have the time, maybe you could chime in on the conversation there, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Montréal Expos. Kingturtle 17:21, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] cult of stalin picture

[edit] Wiki, Futures

Your description of your 'wiki' experience is great. Thanks, I hope that you keep it posted. I figured such ‘burn-out’ could be a result of the increasing demands. Since I only ventured recently into editing (formerly, I used 'wiki' due to its convergence properties - or as you say, approaching a limit), I’m thinking that it’s too much fun (and time consuming – I’m tempering that by having goals such as referring to the pages that I edit in my papers). Notice that I have on my ‘todo’ to explain the ‘wiki’ nature that seems ‘axiomatic’ (quotes, since this is a non-mainstream use). Perhaps, we could discuss what ‘wiki’ is and can be (at least, in terms of what it represents for the future), at your leisure. jmswtlk 16:04, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Baseball on Wikicities

Hello Minesweeper, Googie Man here and I want to ask you something as a fellow baseball fan on Wikipedia. Jimbo and Angela have made a new webstie called Wikicities. This link in particular will take you to the baseball Wikicity. As you'll see it's similar to Wikipedia, but my hope is this will allow baseball fans to do more and different things, like reporting on games, in depth statistics, create mulitple pages for pictures, and whatever else baseball fans care to create. You've done great work on Wikipedia and I was hoping you could help get this baseball Wikicity off the ground. Please let me know what you think either at my talk page, or you can email me at terry@wikia.com. Thanks! Googie Man(Talk), 20:38, 5 January 2006 (UTC).

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

[edit] New Sports-Wiki

Hey Minesweeper. I can't believe you made so many edits! A couple of my couple of my friends modified the Mediawiki engine and built a sports-wiki that has some cool new features--blogging, voting, and the ability to post new articles. Everybody can vote on wiki-pages and the pages are sorted by the number of votes and comments a given other users. We think this system is cool because it allows people to post up their sports opinion or a sports news story and the best stories get filtered by other users to the front page of the wiki. Plus, we have a wiki, so that fellow sports fanatics can get together an build the largest sports encylopedia in the world.

Since we just started, we possess a tight nit community. We would love for you to check out the site and join our community. You could definetly make an imprint on a project that will profoundly impact sports media.

If your interested, I will send you the url. If your not, I apologize for wasting your time. --Awrigh01 04:13, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Redundant images to be deleted

Your images, Image:2003-blackout-before-small.jpg and Image:2003-blackout-after-small.jpg are redundant to your other images, Image:2003-blackout-before.jpg and Image:2003-blackout-after.jpg. You may know this by now, but the MediaWiki software automatically produces thumbnails for any size that an article author specifies, and for this reason we don't need reduced copies of images floating around Wikipedia. Just wanted to let you know. – TTD Mocha! Bark! (pawprints) 17:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed Georgia Move

As a past participant in the discussion on how to handle the Georgia pages, I thought you might be interested to know that there's a new attempt to reach consensus on the matter being addressed at Talk:Georgia (country)#Requested_Move_-_July_2006. Please come by and share your thoughts to help form a consensus. --Vengeful Cynic 03:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Permission to publish photograph

Dear Minesweeper,

I am currently assisting my professor, Dr. Vukan Vuchic of the University of Pennsylvania, in compiling material for a revised edition of his 1980 book, "Urban Public Transportation Systems and Technology". The original edition of this book has become a standard reference for both students and professionals in the transportation field, and we expect that the new edition will supplant the original in that capacity.

I am writing to you because I came across your photograph of Interstate 80 in San Francisco (found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:I-80_Eastshore_Fwy.jpg) and would like to request your permission to publish it in the forthcoming book with appropriate credit to you. If you agree to publication, I will send you a form to sign.

In order to publish the photograph, we will need a high-quality version of the photo. If you could provide us with a larger version of the photograph I would be most appreciative.

By granting permission to reprint your photograph, your work will appear in a book that will have a lasting presence among transportation professionals, academics and students.

If you would kindly send me a brief note to james.aslaksen@alumni.upenn.edu indicating your willingness and your name as you would like it to appear in the photograph caption, I will then reply with the necessary release form. I would like to mention that the final selection of photographs will be made once the editing of the manuscript is completed.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Best regards, James Aslaksen

Academic Assistant Dept. of Electrical & Systems Engineering School of Engineering & Applied Science University of Pennsylvania

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:TakeMeOutToTheBallGame.mid

Thanks for uploading Image:TakeMeOutToTheBallGame.mid. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may 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. -SCEhardT 03:48, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ben Nighthorse Campbell.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ben Nighthorse Campbell.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. 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. --Oden 17:32, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
