[edit] Quendor Maps?

Savidan - I noticed you uploaded a map of Quendor called quendorglobe.jpg. Do you know where I can find an original of this? I see it's on the Encyclopedia Frobozzica, but I'd like to find the original source material if possible. Any ideas?

[edit] Congressional Softball

I posted a comment on the discussion page for congressional softball. Please let me know what you think. I am new at this, so I am not sure about communication protocols and such, gwis 15:35, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAR

Hi, Savidan. It's been several weeks since you nominated Papal conclave for review. Can you please follow up on FAR and let us know your thoughts on its progress? Thanks, Sandy 02:36, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] tfd for "distressing"

I couldn't find the comment section or the listing for tfd for template:distressing so I removed the tag on the template. If you still want to delete it, please revert my edit and place it on the tfd page. Thanks! --Tbeatty 06:53, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Leonardoflathead.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Leonardoflathead.jpg. 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. —Bkell (talk) 16:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TfD

Sorry. You're right. I was closing TfD noms after a nine hour shift at work, which by the way, was very bad. Add to that the fact that no one else closes TfDs regularly, (I have closed 70% of noms since July 12), mistakes are bound to occur. I'll re-list the TfD in today's nomination section. Thanks for the heads up, RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 17:52, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Penisphone.jpg

I uploaded this a long time ago and now that I look back on it, its a silly image that doesn't add much to an article which is prone to vandalism (I copyedited the article after having been drawn to IP vandalism there several times). Is there anything I can do to expedite its deletion, or should I just wait for the period to run itself. The image came for the Icelandic Phallological Museum website, if you prefer to keep the image, although I imagine its copyrighted but can't see what the fair use claim would be other than the generic ("there are no free images of the penis phone..."). Incidentally, the most common type of vandalism to this article is people adding themselves as either donors or employees. You recently removed links to some of these people, which is better than nothing, but really you should just revert their addition completely in the future, unless sourced. savidan(talk) (e@) 20:55, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

You can nominate the image for deletion, but that will also take a week, so probably the easiest thing to do is to just leave it alone. I just happened to wander by the article today, and I removed the links on the assumption that the names were accurate. I didn't look through the article's history or investigate the claim, because the article was really just a ten-second stop. —Bkell (talk) 21:02, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I guess IFD takes only five days, not seven as I thought. So if you want the image deleted two days sooner, you can nominate it there. In the meantime, you can just delete the image from the Icelandic Phallological Museum article. —Bkell (talk) 21:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.

[edit] AfD Nomination: George W. Bush Scotland bicycle accident

I've nominated the article George W. Bush Scotland bicycle accident for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but in this particular case I do not feel that George W. Bush Scotland bicycle accident satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/George W. Bush Scotland bicycle accident. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of George W. Bush Scotland bicycle accident during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

[edit] Pontifex Maximus

dear sir: thanks for fixing the photo. is this a standard in wikipedia? above and right? sorry about that, i'm still feeling my way in wikipedia when it comes to including photos. thanks again. oh, and if you ever come to a reference pertaining to pontifex maximus on the web, please expand the article or send me the http so i can use it. thanks very much.

I was thinking the same thing about the page, had only seen the trailer and wasn't going to do anything controversial so just made a redirect. A page move is the way forward though. Cheers. Driller thriller 21:32, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A cappella brouhaha

No worries. I understand why impulse to go for a mass deletion. Thanks for being gracious. Chart123 17:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

I accept the apology, but don't understand the decision to continue. The articles you listed are benign, in form and harmless. Why not spend 30 minutes contributing to Wikipedia constructively rather than destructively? There will be plenty of time in the future to delete articles that we don't think fit any longer. --SparqMan 19:57, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your note of apology, its rare to encounter that sort of politeness on WP. For what its worth, I think I can understand your motivation here a little. I looked at your userpage; I too for my sins have to spend a great deal of time on the sort of campus where at certain times of year a million a capella groups spring out of the ancient woodwork to sing last year's hits at unwary passers-by. Fall is coming, and every gracious colonnade and awe-inspiring staircase will be crowded with a bunch of kids in tuxedos harmonising happily at me. I dread it.

[edit] The Cups and Balls Museum

Since you will not respect my wishes not to be linked to your web site, I have changed my index page to one that will not lead anyone into the site.

Too bad you had to abuse my art and my web site like this.

Bill Palmer, MIMC

Okay. You have asked for it. I am reporting you to your ISP for an abusive link. I know I can do this. It's perfectly legal.

Until then, I warn you. If my bandwidth exceeds the maximum permitted and I can prove it is because of your link, I will bill you for the difference.

My site is my private property and I choose not to allow you to link to it.

[edit] Pius XII and the Appalling Image

Hi Savidan, I think we should go into a moderated mediation. I stated several times my opinion about why this image of a cardinal steping on a jew should not be in Wikipedia. Since you did not answer even to one of my points and kept on behaving like a dictator concerning this article of Pius XII , I do not believe that a non - moderated discussion with you is going to bring about anything. I'm really sorry, but in my eyes your behavior and also this appalling image are violating Wikipedia-Standards. I shall contact an admin now. --UAltmann 11:08, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I've removed the image. I am not taking sides as to its suitability. However legally we cannot use that image on that article under fair use. To qualify for fair use the image would have to be directly relevant. That would only be the case for certain in an article about the artist. It probably would qualify (though it would be a somewhat grey area) in an article on the Concordat. It would not qualify however for articles like Pius XII, the Holocaust, etc. The reason is that in each of those cases the link is indirect. Pius doesn't feature in the image. The link is indirect: a member of Pius's hierarchy -> a Vatican policy -> the Pope. That is too indirect under fair use to allow usage. Similarly as it does not directly show an image of the Holocaust it would not qualify under fair use to be on the Holocaust page. The bottom line really with fair use is that the image must be direct, vitally relevant and there must be no alternative. As the article is not about the image or the artist it fails fair use and if used on that article would get WP into legal trouble. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 01:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Even then, as a work of art, and with an unclear representation of its possible subject, I suspect it would fall foul of fair use. The bottom line really is that as it is not a photograph of an event, but rather an (unclear) artistic representation, it probably would fail fair use for any article on Pius. I think the only guaranteed place where it would be OK would be in a page on the artist. It probably would be OK on a Concordat page. WP follows a very cautious interpretation of fair use (to cautious IMHO). I very much doubt if it would qualify under WP rules even (just about) OK under fair use. My gut feeling is that it fails both. FearÉIREANN\(caint) 01:47, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

This page appears to have been semi-protected for over a week. You were correct to respond in this manner to vandalism from multiple sources, but perhaps it is time to open the article up again. savidan(talk) (e@) 12:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I've unprotected it now. Just to let you know, the better place to request unprotection would have been at the WP:RFPP page in the requests for unprotection section, because you will get a much quicker response there. —Mets501 (talk) 18:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bobov

Hi Savidan; I'm giving you the courtesy of letting you know. There is an internal dispute who is the legitimate successor to the previous Rebbe of Bobov; and obviously every side wants Wikipedia to represent their POV. Fortunately for almost a year we've been able to keep all the articles that mention this dispute with relatively NPOV; all this with the help of many Wikipedians who are keeping a watchful eye on it. So if we put a cleanup tag on one page we need to do the same on the other page which really says the same thing but reversed. Therefore I'm removing the cleanup tag. Thanks for your understanding.

[edit] September Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Barnstar Brigade
Here in Wikipedia there are hundreds of wikipedians whose work and efforts go unappreciated. One occasionally comes across editors who have thousands of good edits, but because they may not get around as much as others, their contributions and hard work often go unnoticed. As Esperanzians we can help to make people feel appreciated, be it by some kind words or the awarding of a Barnstar. This is where the Barnstar Brigade comes in. The object of this program is to seek out the people which deserve a Barnstar, and help them feel appreciated. With your help, we can recognize more dedicated editors!
What's New?
September elections are upon us! Anyone wishing to be a part of the Advisory Council may list themselves as a candidate from 18 September until 24 September, with the voting taking place from 25 September to 30 September. Those who wish to help with the election staff should also list themselves!
Appreciation Week, a program currently in development, now has its own subpage! Share your good ideas on how to make it awesome there!
The Esperanza front page has been redesigned! Many thanks to all who worked hard on it.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. The proposals page has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  2. Since the program in development Appretiaion week is getting lots of good ideas, it now has its own subpage.
  3. The September 2006 Council elections will open for nominations on 18 September 2006. The voting will run from 25 September 2006 until 30 September 2006. If you wish to be a candidate or a member of the elections staff, please list yourself!
  4. The new Esperanza front page design has but put up - many thanks to all who worked on it!
  5. TangoTango has written a script for a bot that will list new members of Esperanza, which will help those who welcome new Esperanzains greatly!

If you are still active, please consider tending to any new requests that may appear on Category:AMA Requests for Assistance.

[edit] Tony Snow image

Do you have something more neutral for Iraq Study Group Report? -- Kendrick7 17:58, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

My original instinct was I wasn't going to make a fuss unless someone else brought it up, but someone else did. I can see that at a later phase of the article, this image could be used to illustrate a section relating to the media/white house tensions, were these to be such a section (you could add one, even a few sentences, and put the image there). But, it's somewhat overwhelming the way things are now, know what I mean? -- Kendrick7 18:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Helmsshcoker.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Helmsshcoker.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. Yamla 21:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!)
Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach.

Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
What's New?
The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one!
A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  • The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived.
  • There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia.
  • The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested!
  • In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias.
  • A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted!
  • Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello.

[edit] Incomplete nomination for deletion

You placed a deletion tag on {{legally frivolous}}, yet stated no reason and did not add the template to the TFD page. If this is still the situation when I next log in, I will assume this was an error and remove the tag. Robert A.West (Talk) 06:14, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I noticed right after I left this note. Well, that was one reason for waiting! I have put down my reasons to keep, but you've probably read them already in the old TFD. I trust you will not object if I let Famspear and a couple of others who use the template know about this nomination. Robert A.West (Talk) 06:28, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rings image request

I saw your screenshots from LOTR and I wish to request an multiple image. It is needed for The Return of the King: I'd like Saruman, the Witch-king and the Mouth of Sauron to emphasise the new villainous additions to the film in the Extended Edition. I'd be very thankful. Wiki-newbie 17:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Wait, sorry to nitpick, but I need the Witch-king in his particular EE scene. Wiki-newbie 19:09, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

That scene however is in the TE. What I want to emphasise is the EE's restoration of the villains in the film. In the article I describe how those scenes add some new context, and really I wish for WK with his fiery sword. I don't want to sound rude but I really appreciate your work. Just one fix and I'll upload the image, as well as provide a fair use rationale. Wiki-newbie 19:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

That isn't the fiery sword in the staff break scene however. It's the shot just before he reveals his chained mace to Eowyn. Wiki-newbie 19:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC) Thank you! Wiki-newbie 19:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Translation of Battle of Castelfidardo

Thought you might be interested - just completed the English translation of the French article on the Battle of Castelfidardo that you requested as a high priority translation over at the [Collaboration Project] back on 2nd September.

[edit] Dominic Savio

Dear Savidan,

Thanks for removing the Pope Pius XII image from the Dominic Savio article. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia. I had redone the article only yesterday and included that image without checking its copyright status. Your edit made me take another look at the pictures I had put into that article. I placed a public domain image of Pope Pius X where the Pope Pius XII image had been. I replaced the image of Pope Pius XI with another public domain image of him. So thank you for pointing this out. I had edited the article because someone had inserted two tags into it: 'disputed' and 'expert'. Now that I have edited it, I'm not sure if it would be proper etiquette to remove it myself. Should I wait for the person who put up the tags to remove them himself? If you have the time, would you please take a look at the article and decide if the article is now encyclopedic enough for the tags to be removed? Thanks for your time.

Yours,

Thanks for the reply. I have contacted the person who placed the tag in the article.

[edit] Re: Images with urls, etc

I believe the tag you are looking for is {{imagewatermark}} (or just the redirect {{watermark}}, it's generaly a bad thing, and outright not allowed in user-created images (credits go on the image page, not the image) --Sherool (talk) 09:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diocesan Infobox

To the Members of the WikiProject Catholicism

I have proposed at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Catholicism an infobox for Catholic Dioceses. I have not gotten any feedback on this proposal, so I’m culling feedback, advice, corrections, etc. for this. If you have the time, would you check out User:SkierRMH/Diocese_Infobox and give me some feedback! Thanks much!!

[edit] Please Take Responsiblity For Your Edits

Since the article is contentious, you should discuss your edits and attempt to reach consensus on the talk page instead of blindly editing the article without consensus. Wikipedia seeks to divulge all form of bias so that readers will not be mislead with false authority. If an article is wholly critical on Sathya Sai Baba, the reader has no was of assessing this (especially when the original article is in Dutch) unless it is stated neutrally and factually. The fact remains that the article in question is wholly critical on Sathya Sai Baba and this bias needs to be divulged. Withholding this bias is POV pushing. Please suggest an alternate wording on the take page and let us work on it together and try to obtain consensus. Thank you. SSS108 talk-email 20:20, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I've already posted on the talk page of the article and will continue this there. savidan(talk) (e@) 20:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sathya Sai Baba

Thank you for your contributions to Sathya Sai Baba. The article has been criticised for several of its editors (including myself) to have some sort of bias and that the article needs more editors (and "more eyes") who are able to maintain NPOV and improve the article with general standards of cleanup and maintenance. It is nice to see a fresh face so to speak, and hopefully you will be encouraged to help with the article as it is terribly contentious. ekantiK talk 01:24, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] DYK

Updated DYK query On December 11, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Hot House Flowers, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Hello Savidan and thanks for your contributions - There are a few more replies at WT:DYK - keep up the great work - Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that, I'm online from 23-8 usually, so I'll do the next shift. Thanks, Blnguyen (bananabucket) 00:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pseudoscience

Hello, I have been trying to find the Wikipedia position on pseudoscience (and inclusion of inaccurate information) that you mentioned here, but was unable to find it. Could you kindly point me to it, please? ekantiK talk 17:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Impact wrench

You mentioned on the DYK page that the article could use more sources, however both myself and another user have been unable to locate any. Since much of the article is a statement of what is currently used, the seemingly only reference for it would be links to the manufacturer's product pages, and wikipedia really shouldn't be a big collection of external links to commercial sites. Much of the article is also common knowledge, which seems difficult or impossible to find references for, and even after searching the patent archives for information on impact wrenches, the simpler mechanisms listed in the article are only mentioned as "prior art" or "known in the art." Do you have any suggestions of sources, or any specific parts of the article you feel need a reference? Thanks, Bushytails 23:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC).

Just to let you know, I replied on my talk page. Thanks again, Bushytails 00:14, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikilogos

I've noticed you're very involved here, you might be interested in my proposal for Wikipedia use logo variations created by members of the wiki community to mark national and international awareness days, Remembrance Days, notable anniversaries, and observance days. Please comment on Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)#Logo Variations and on my talk page. Thanks! FrummerThanThou 05:50, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
