[edit] CSS Tallahassee

Sorry for the delay! I've added it to the ship box-- a quick list of these is on my to-do page, which will let you be one click away from editing them.... plange 21:55, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 1690/pilgrims userbox

Your user box says: "Noles1984 descendants were Pilgrims landing in Ipswich in 1690" Don't you mean ancestors? Or are you like 350 years old? :) Cburnett 23:22, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chalk Maple

Are you sure that's a Chalk Maple? IMO it looks more like a Red Maple (which also grows in that part of Florida). There are some pictures of the leaves here, and most of them look different from your picture. I may be wrong however - some of them do look rather similar to yours. --Schzmo 19:01, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, if the bark looks like that, you probably are right. Do you know the flower color? If they're red, it's a Red Maple; if they're green/yellow, then it most likely is a Chalk Maple. --Schzmo 19:24, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I was just about to make the same note! The pic is unfortunately Red Maple, not Chalk Maple (which is very closely related to, and barely distinguishable from, Sugar Maple). As a PS - "Image compressed by 60% to save Wikipedia space" - this isn't necessary, space is not a problem, it is better to upload the full resolution. - MPF 21:33, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Follow-up ... saw the notes on Schzmo's talk page; on comparing the leaf shape with other photos, the character to look for is not how pointed the leaf is (this is variable), but how many serrations there are on the sides of the lobes; Chalk Maple (as in the Duke.edu pic) has just one or two teeth on the side, whereas Red Maple, and your scan, shows several small teeth. Sorry, it is definitely Red Maple! - MPF 21:39, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! I reckon it is worth re-uploading the pic with a new name, as we don't have a decent Red Maple leaf pic (see commons:Acer rubrum, which is the best place to put pics so they can be used on all the other wikipedias as well) - MPF 21:48, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
On pic size - generally, people with dial-up etc will only look at the thumbnails in the page; the full-size pic can be a megabyte or five without affecting this, so large image files aren't a problem (that's one of the nice things about wikipedia!) - MPF 22:50, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi again! - it does; if you click on a pic, unless the pic is small, you'll find the pic on the image description page is still reduced, with a clickable line under the pic which says "Download high resolution version (2848x2136, 1537 KB)" (or whatever the full size of the pic is). You can set yourself what size image the image description page shows; go to "my preferences" (link next to your talk page link), go to "Files", and there you'll be offered a drop-down box "Limit images on image description pages to:", with the default setting at 800×600px, but you can set it as low as 320×240px if you want to; this will allow you to see pics at a much lower resolution and kilobytage. Hope this helps! - MPF 20:59, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Since you're the expert on Florida history...

...is there anything you'd change about Cascades Park (Tallahassee)? —Keenan Pepper 05:18, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

That's a good article. I added two images a postcard and a drawing for interest OK?... surely there needs to be an image for the upcoming rebirth. I also added one single line saying: "The Florida State Capital now stands where this waterfall and pond once were." As for being an expert? I'm really only interested in Leon Co. and surounding counties and towns. I just get curious about things and then look for photos at the Florida Photographic Collection then Google that subject or information within the description to see if I can get more. There's so much more to do. What else have you seen that I've created? I'd be interested. "Go Noles!" -Chuck, Noles1984 14:33, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the images. I asked my sister to take some photos with her digital camera, which should complement the historical images nicely. And you're definitely the expert; your contributions are ridiculously extensive, so don't even argue. =P —Keenan Pepper 15:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry about the quick image deletion

I presume you just re-uploaded it. Assuming the new information you provided is OK, there's no more problem. Non-comercial only images have been not allowed here for more than a year; it's more than time for us to stamp on them quickly... JesseW, the juggling janitor 19:11, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Newport, Florida

I'll tackle the Newport, Florida article today. From what I've seen, 3 seperate articles can come from this. Noles1984 12:44, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Yay, thanks for your help. -- Beland 05:58, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tallahassee

I didn't copy it, I moved it. The previous location that it appeared at was in the main article space, which isn't the right place for something that's a sandbox. So I moved it to the Talk: namespace, but if you prefer, you can make this sort of stuff a subpage in your user namespace instead. --Michael Snow 16:26, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jane Goodall Environmental Middle School

Hello! You have restored the National Geographic video cover with Jane Goodall's picture on it i the article on Jane Goodall Environmental Middle School. Unfortunately this is directly against the fair use policy (see counterexaple # 9). Also, the copyright tag leaves no room for interpretation, saying "It is believed that the use of low-resolution images of videotape covers to illustrate the videotape in question qualifies as fair use". I will remove the image again. Please don't put it back. Dr Zak 16:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures of Doak Campbell Stadium

Hello, some time ago you upladed a couple of images of Doak Campbell Stadium from the Seminoles website. I have orphaned those as any local fan could go and take pictures of the stadium interior at a game. The {{promophoto}} tag specifically says that such pictures are only suitable "where the image is unrepeatable". Regards Dr Zak 17:09, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Invitation to new WikiProject

Sorry to disturb, but am wishing to take a moment of your time for something I hope will be of interest. I'd like to invite you to join a new WikiProject I've started, WikiProject National Register of Historic Places. Should you feel so inclined, please feel free to join. And spread the word to any other interested parties.  :) -Ebyabe 19:29, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Doak Campbell Stadium.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Doak Campbell Stadium.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}}
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

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. ccwaters 19:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Star Metro01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Star Metro01.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.

If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 22:25, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. —Chowbok ☠ 16:44, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Commonwealth Cup (Virginia)

I nominated this article for deletion not because the content was bad, but because it was redundant to the Commonwealth Cup page. I moved a bit of the information over there, but enately they are the same. Jazznutuva 10:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Nominatng was a good move. I incorporated the style of info box or table found on previous Commonwealth page which I think looks cleaner, just my opinion. Adjusted the title color to white since it was somewhat hidden in the grey (black text). Moved the photo up.

Question do you know how the template for UVA (Commonwealth Cup) and Jefferson-Eppes Trophy article/page bottom) is done. That's a mystery and I'd like to create one for FSU. Thanks. Noles1984 16:12, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure... it took me a while to figure this out too... I actually created the UVA one... follow this link {{University of Virginia}}... to add this template to the page you just simply add {{University of Virginia}} to the bottom of the page but it's only a template. If you have any other questions check out Help:Template or write me back... I'll gone for a few days, but I'll answer as soon as I get back. Jazznutuva 22:21, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
