[edit] Panama Canal

Hi, Thanks for your very useful contributions to the articles relating to the Panama Canal. Did you know that the main article is in peer review? Comments welcome. — Johantheghost 12:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I thought you might be interested to know that I've put Panama Canal up for FA status. Feel free to comment or vote. — Johantheghost 16:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Centennial Bridge, Panama

Thanks for adding the real opening date — do you have a source for that, so we could cite it? Cheers. — Johantheghost 12:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

"I thank you for your hard work in these pages about my country" — so you're from Panama? I love Panama! I sailed my boat through the canal, and into the San Blas islands, and had a few great months there — I wish I'd had more time to explore the country. I couldn't believe how friendly everyone was, even the port captain, agricultural inspector, and the migracion officers! Great place, and I hope I can get back there one day — I'm freezing in Scotland right now! — Johantheghost 19:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Day of the Martyrs

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as Martyrs' Day, but we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. Perhaps you would like to rewrite the article in your own words. For more information, take a look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Happy editing! -- Perfecto  05:05, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thumbnail sizes

Hi again, I notice you changed the thumbnail sizes in Bridge of the Americas. Until recently, I did the same thing myself, but it's actually bad style, and I am now removing all thumbnail sizes from the canal articles. Individual users can set their preferred thumbnail size in their preferences — go to "preferences", select "files", and select your preferrred size. The problem is that if you set the size in the article, then it overrides the user's preference, and they don't get the size they want. This should only be done if an image really needs to be displayed in a certain size. So, I'll take out the sizes, and if you want larger thumbnails, please change your preferences. Cheers! — Johantheghost 12:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Porto Bello

I noticed you corrected the spelling — how could I have missed that after the fantastic few days I had in Portobelo! Anyhow, I was just wondering — is "Porto Bello" the original, historic spelling? If so, would it be worth saying "... or Porto Bello, as it was known then", or something? Cheers. — Johantheghost 11:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

• I have always known it as Portobelo, I have seen it written as Porto Bello on foreign texts, but here it is always Portobelo. I happen to have a 2 volume book called "los viajes de Colón", its very interesting and i will write you a short translation of what they say about Portobelo so you can quote it or just read it: "On november 2, 1502 Columbus reached Portobelo. He named it like that because, as don Fernando - Columbus brother - says "its very big and so beautiful, with a small population. Its like a painting and its the most beautiful place I have ever seen"". The complete source is: Taviani, Paolo. Los viajes de Colón. Volume 2, page 299. Planeta-De Agostini Editorial. Barcelona, 1989. - Well, i couldn't agree more with Columbus, its really a beautiful port, as you know. I hope it can be developed someday as it deserves. Radioheadhst 03:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for that — I think I've been mislead by some of those foreign texts. It is absolutely a beautiful port! I got there in 2004, and just happened to be there for the driving out of the devils, which was fascinating. If you're interested, check out my pictures and log. Cheers! — Johantheghost 11:45, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vaya saludo!

Es increíble que un panameño esté por estos lares, digamos que usuarios como tú son los que necesitamos en es.wiki; tanto tú como yo estamos haciendo labores en paralelo, sería bueno al menos buscar un trabajo en dúo. Cualquiera cosa, dejame el mensaje en mi discusión en es.wiki. Un saludo de otro panameño. --Taichi 08:14, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Pues es triste que se haya liado eso, yo opino que debemos hacer el artículo en español, pero debemos primero hacerlo a partir de un borrador, pienso que el artículo en inglés minimiza los factores de oposición. Yo, siendote sincero me opongo al proyecto y soy del No, sin embargo, pienso que como deber hay que explicar ambos puntos de vista con el mismo nivel de objetividad. El único inconveniente es que no podré dedicar todo el día con el artículo, ahora tengo en mira destacar cuatro artículo en es.wiki, aunque como te dije puedo ayudarte cuando pueda y asistir en algunas cosas. Un saludo. --Taichi 01:31, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AYUDA

Pienso que como muchas personas yo ingrese a participar en Wikipedia muy animadamente, sin embargo me tope con una gran traba, los wikipedistas que se creen dueños del saber y esta web, yo soy un novato en wikipedia y las veces que he entrado me dedico mas a procurar ver como arreglo la web de una artista joven latina, que viene sobresaliendo en el mundo del espectaculo.

Me parecio lindo poder colocar una biografia de ella, pero mi colaboracion primero llevo el irrelevante, no si el arte sea irrelevante o es irrelevante porque es una propuesta de un extraño... bueno en fin , luego de irrelevante paso a copy nose que? pero de alli le quitaron ese calñificativo y paso a votacion para borrado ???? whath??? y mas contrariado cuando dicen que pse puede editar bien para que no sea eliminado, porque no usan el tiempo en corregior los trabajos malos en vez de usarlo para crear foros y otros? porque no le dicen a uno como corregir los trabajos????

Luego veo quienes solicitan el borrado, al parecer gente que les gusta les llamen duquesa, excelencia, divinidad??? queeeee, esta es una pagina que pretende revolucionar la educacion??? hacer que persista el por siempre las cosas que deben de serlo??? no me parece que sea el criterio usado el mejor ç, usted como uno de los lideres por favor ayude para que existan estos cambios en la conducta de los administradores, bibliotecarios y en fin

Bueno sino nuevamente perdi el tiempo aca en este reino de brujas, condes, duquesas y reyes del saber :(

Ahhhhh mi contribucion fue sobre Mia Rauz

[edit] Re:Ayuda

Bueno, tanto como uno de los "líderes" de wikipedia no creo, pero la verdad no puedo opinar sin ver cual fue el artículo que produjo todo tu enojo, he buscado y no encuentro nada sobre Mia Rauz en wikipedia en inglés, es que ya fue borrado? Como ves cada artículo tiene una sección de discusión donde se puede argumentar todo lo que quieras a favor de un artículo y el propósito de todos es mejorar los artículos colaborando. Saludos y espero me mandes el enlace de la página del artículo si existe todavía. Radioheadhst 21:45, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] El Síndrome

Vi que estabas editando en el artículo en español referente a la sustancia dietilenglicol, para que tengas idea desde hace unos días creé el artículo en español es:Síndrome de parálisis e insuficiencia renal aguda, pero como veo que eres médico me podrías ayudar a mejorar el tema, dado que mi única fuente son los periódicos. Un saludo. --Taichi 05:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Panama Canal images

Hi,

Your images at Panama Canal expansion proposal will need to be listed for deletion. Unfortunately the permission you got from the webmaster just says it's OK for Wikipedia to use the images with attribution. This is very different from the acceptable usage, "The copyright holder allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that PanCanal.com is indicated as the source."

Basically these images need to be marked with the "permission" tag which unfortunately means they'll be deleted, as such images are not allowed on Wikipedia.

If you could ask the PanCanal.com webmaster to release the images in an unrestricted fashion - that is, *anyone*, not just Wikipedia, is allowed to use the images, as long as attribution is given - then we'd be in the clear.

Thanks - Tempshill 19:21, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I agree it'd be a shame to delete the images; that's why I'm asking you to get a more clear letter of permission, so they can be kept. The webmaster's statement you cited is vague: "we have no problem that you use the information from our Web site, as long as you indicate it as the source." Are you claiming that by "you", the webmaster meant to say "the entire world"? Or were you representing yourself as a Wikipedia editor in the conversation? I have assumed the latter is more probable. Thanks - Tempshill 19:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that'd be another good angle - possibly you or another editor could simply look up the law to see if works of the Panamanian government belong to the public domain, as is true in the US; and also of course someone would have to verify whether those maps and graphs are "works of the Panamanian government". (They might be works of a separate corporation the government set up, or something, and exempt from such a law.) Tempshill 20:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
