[edit] Too many Licenses?

Do i have to put information on the licenses I want on my work on my home page? And how many different licenses are there at Wikipedia?

NickC · Talk 15:32, July 13, 2005 (BST)

Nick: No, you don't have to; if you put nothing, it will automatically be released under the GFDL because all Wikipedia pages are released under the GFDL unless otherwise noted. You can look here for a list of licensing templates you can add to your page. In the lefthand column will be something that looks like this: {{licensename}}. Pick out the license you want, copy that text (with the {{}} part) and insert it on your page where you want it (you can click the "preview" button at the bottom of the edit box to see how it looks before you save.)
But, again, you don't have to put anything; some of us do just because 1) we like having things on our userpages, or 2) we want to be extra-clear. If you have any more questions, you can ask me at my talk page (I see comments on my talk page faster because I get an alert whenever an edit is made there). -- Essjay · Talk 14:37, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anon Edits

Nick, an anonymous editor just made a change to you user page; did you get logged out accidentally, or was this someone else. If it was you, you may be having the same problem as some other editors are, and you can go to "preferences" at the very top of the page and click "keep me logged in across sessions" to fix it. If it wasn't you, let me know and I'll warn the anon not to make changes to userpages without permission. -- Essjay · Talk 15:41, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

It was me, sorry about that. I am using Mozilla FireFox 1.0.4. -- NickC · Talk 16:48, July 13, 2005 (BST)

That's okay, it happens all the time. I just wanted to make sure before I went and warned the IP. You're doing good work, keep it up! -- Essjay · Talk 15:54, July 13, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Changing my Username

When I change my username, could u repost the first topic and the license topics again please? (They were really helpful!). Thanks.

No problem, just drop by my page and leave me a note telling me what your new username is. (By the way, why do you want a new username?) -- Essjay · Talk 09:03, July 14, 2005 (UTC)

It's too long :) - -- NickC · Talk 10:09, July 14, 2005 (BST)

I see. You might want to check out Wikipedia:Changing username too. -- Essjay · Talk 09:19, July 14, 2005 (UTC)
    • My new username is now Nick_C · Talk 11:56, July 14, 2005 (BST)

[edit] 2005 USA-Race

DNS stands for when a car does not take a a race start. Makes sense. By having Ret listed that mean the driver has actually started in that race and will count a race starts towards the driver race start tally.. The formation lap does not count as a lap at all as it is not added towards the race classification. For when does a driver 'start' a Grand Prix? To my mind he does so only if he is on the grid when the flag drops or light goes green at the final start. Should a driver have failed to compete the formation lap, for instance (as was the case with Prost at Imola in 1991), he cannot truly be said to have started the race. In the case of restarted events such as the British GP in 1986, poor Jacques Laffite certainly did start the race, but this was declared null and void and he was not presented to take the restart, which is the only one that counts. For true official race results is best to get them off www.forix.com as they receive their race results from the officials. Yes I know formula1.com is official but not 100% official in statistics. If you decide to leave it as Ret then you must give all the drivers a race start count!

I have spend hours in researching and asking many F1 statistician who are famous and know more on Grand Prix. All the statisian I have contacted and got back told me it is actually DNS not Ret, they also have mention the formula1.com is not very accurate with their race results. The formula1.com is incorrect as listing as ret instead of DNS for 2005-USA. This were the responses from the following people. Renowned F1 statistians, like David Hayhoe or Autosport's Peter Higham agree that all Michelin drivers were DNS in 2005-USA, but consider a RET if a driver didn't made a re-start, for example. That was the common view in the past - no contemporary source listed Lauda as a DNS in 1976-Germany - and they simply ignore the current "null and void" FIA rule. I totally agree to change it as DNS not Ret as they didn't take part on the first lap.

Here is a intersting fact. Button will start his 100th race start in the 2005-China race. But according to wikipedia when doing the math by adding all Button race starts it would be his 101st race start in China as Button has been listed as Ret instead of DNS for this year 2005-USA race. Does this make sense to you. That means wikipedia will have an extra race start for all the drivers who have no started in the 2005 USA race have an extra race start which wouldn't be official to the drivers stats.

I am trying to help you all to have accurate data on Formula 1 on wikipedia. I DO beleive the formula1.com site doesn't not give out accurate race classifications. As I have been involved with FORIX and autosport.com for many years as my job is to look for incorrect data on their server. Andreas 04 October 09:36


[edit] Featured article for December 25th

I noticed you have listed yourself in Category:Atheist Wikipedians. That said, you will probably be interested in my suggested featured article for December 25th: Omnipotence paradox. The other suggestion being supported by others for that date is Christmas, although Raul654 has historically been against featuring articles on the same day as their anniversary/holiday. — BRIAN0918 • 2005-11-28 08:28

The cleanup taskforce has been asked to look at Afro-Asian Club Competition. It lacks context but it seems to be football/soccer.

I'll have a look at it, should be done in two days. - Nick C 17:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 41% for major edits and 59% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 17 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 18:30, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Urgent!

Nick, please go to this page ASAP, as the Olympic conventions pages have been nominated for deletion! I trust that you like them a lot and from your edits, you are not willing to lose all of the work you put in. I urge you to vote "Keep", as 3 weeks of work are about to go down the drain! Thanks.

Thanks. - Nick C 14:57, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

You know that you're a lucky man, because this is 2 templates for the price of one for you:

(see examples quickly done on the talks of these templates). The one you must use for old championships is the second one. Khardan 22:00, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Hope I didn't waste much of your time. Is it also possible for you to add a Third Place playyoff box to the templates, as out of the 6 major tournaments that have at least 12-16 participants, 4 have a third place playoff, and with the European Championship and OFC Nations Cup, I can leave the box blank. - Nick C 18:38, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
For you, you can use these templates ones:

and use it like this:

[edit] Snooker pages

Thanks for the compliments! I was just watching the snooker and thought that the progression of the championships deserved a bit of preservation on WP!

Nice work adding in the qualification results for 2006 and full results for 2003! Once they are all finished it should be a useful handy resource for finding out who's where's and when's on past world championships. SFC9394 15:22, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Good call on starting this up again. I found it myself the other day, and was just about to suggest reviving it, but you've beaten me to it.

[edit] VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:57, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Ana Mirjana Racanovic.jpg

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ana Mirjana Racanovic.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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.

The F1 portal (in which I assume you have some degree of interest, as your name is listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One) is intended to have a regular rotation of a 'featured article'.

Thanks for uploading Image:Vukcevic s01.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

[edit] Selected articles on Portal:F1

Hello again.

I dropped notes round a while back to those who have listed themselves at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Formula_One to ask for suggestions for selected articles on portal:Formula One. There was a pretty good response, both in terms of how it might work and of articles suggested. Damon Hill came out with the most support and was brought up to Good Article standard after a lot of work by Skully Collins and others before going on as the F1 portal selected article a couple of weeks ago. It is now at Featured Article Candidates as a Featured Article candidate (why not drop by and see if you can help polish it further?).

Several people who responded to the original request suggested that a monthly or bi-weekly 'Selected Article' could act as a catalyst for an improvement drive to get more articles up to a higher standard. Although it wasn't quite what I had in mind when I started, this seemed to work pretty well for the Damon Hill article, so I've drafted up a process for doing this more regularly. See Portal_talk:Formula_One/Management_of_selected_articles for details. Essentially the suggestion is that we vote for an article to improve every couple of weeks and at the end of the improvement process the article goes on the portal as the new 'Selected Article'. I'd be grateful for any comments on how this might work - I'm sure some of you are more familiar with things 'Wiki' than me - as well as your votes for the next candidate (by 16 July).

You may also want to help with the article Gilles Villeneuve, which was the next most popular after Damon Hill. The idea is to try and get it up to GA standard by 16 July and then put it on the portal as the 'Selected Article'. I hope you can help! 4u1e 18:15, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce

I added Doping at the Tour de France to your desk because you have expressed an interest in sports related articles. Please look at it and if you are not itnerested leave a note on my talk page and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 21:52, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 16TeamBracket-Compact

These bracket templates are computer generated, so it's easy enough to make new ones. See Template:16TeamBracket-Compact. --Dantheox 17:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'll get on that. May I ask which tennis tournaments you're going to be using these templates for? I think {{8TeamBracket}} and {{16TeamBracket}} work fine for the grand slams. If you're interested in tennis brackets, see my proposal on Portal talk:Tennis to create brackets for historical grand slams. I'm working on a new, tennis-centric bracket template for that purpose. --Dantheox 17:32, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
Done and done. --Dantheox 17:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce

I added North Queensland Cowboys to your desk. It's an Australian rugby team (not exactly your specialty, I know, but you probably know more than most and there aren't that many taskforce members with interest in sports who are active). As always, after you take a look accept or let me know and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 04:12, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup taskforce

I added the tennis player Sabine Appelmans to your desk. Please look at it and either accept or let me know and I'll reassign it. Thank you. RJFJR 03:15, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eurovision Song Contest

Hi. I have submitted the main Eurovision article for Peer Review, hoping to get it up to Featured standard. If you have any comments and contributions, please let me know. Thanks. EuroSong talk 15:27, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup Taskforce

Does North Queensland Cowboys look cleaned up enough to close or should hte project be kept open for more work? RJFJR 19:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hi, and welcome to the Countries WikiProject! As you may have guessed, we're a group of editors working to improve Wikipedia's coverage of counties.


There are a variety of interesting things to do within the project; you're free to participate however much—or little—you like:

  • Starting some new articles? See some model pages such as Cambodia!
  • Want to know how good our articles are? The assessment department is working on rating the quality of every country article in Wikipedia.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask another fellow member, and we'll be happy to help you. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around! Shy1520 10:26, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caribbean Nations Cup 2007 tie breaker

Hello!

Are you sure the tie breaker is head-to-head results? Do you have an official source for this? In group D, the last two results were: Jamaica - Haiti 2 - 0 and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines - Saint Lucia 8 - 0. Haiti, Jamaica and Saint Vincent are tied with 6 points each. If head-to-head is used between the 3 teams, you have:

1. Haiti 3p (4 - 2) 2. Jamaica 3p (3 - 2) 3. Saint Vincet 3p (2 - 5)

Haiti and Jamaica advance.

If goal difference is used:

1. Haiti 6p (11-3) 2. Saint Vincent 6p (10-5) 3. Jamaica 6p (7-2) 4. Saint Lucia 0 (1-19)

Haiti and Saint Vincent go through.

  • I think you are right, I got the tie break rules from the CONCACAF website, here. - Nick C 17:13, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
