[edit] Modern Latin

You wrote:

  • something about contemporary uses of the Latin language for communication, which could be called neolatin or modern Latin, although those terms are often used to refer simply to Latin after a particular historical period (not necessarily in the present day); maybe particular neolatinists like Andrew Gollan, Hans Oerberg, Nancy Llewellyn, and Father Reginald Foster.

I would support this, but I suspect a lot of other Wikipedians will want to shoot it down. I've gotten away with it on la: because, well, it's obviously relevant there. See La:Auctores neolatini and La:Categoria:Auctores Neolatini for stuff on authors specifically. Having a paralel category on en: could help with things like this. --Iustinus 05:49, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Orkut

If you haven't run out of invites, could I get one? --Vizcarra 18:02, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Yup, it's by invitation. I've got an invite for google e-mail and I've got one, but I haven't got one for Orkut. --Vizcarra 02:55, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Check out the Babel-3 template

Hi Seth. You might want to take a look at the {{Babel-3}} template for the "Languages" section on your user page. It looks a little funky right now. Here's what your page would look like with the template:

Wikipedia:Babel

P.S. We actually hung out a couple times when I lived in Berkeley. I came over to S.F. and we went to Bolerium Books to look at an old Voltairine de Cleyre volume (I think it was The Worm Turns, or the posthumous collection of her writings). We also went to Grand View Park (I think it was that park at least). Mike Dillon 17:50, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Hey, thanks! Good to hear from you, Mike. Schoen 18:14, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Wannsee-room.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Wannsee-room.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}}.

Please signify the copyright information 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. Thank you. Admrb♉ltz (T | C) 00:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

I find it very ironic that this long explanation of licensing was given to Seth Schoen. Seth knows more about copyright issues than anyone else I've met personally. Made me laugh. Mike Dillon 01:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the tag from Seth's image so that it won't get deleted prematurely. Given his knowledge of copyright, I'm sure he will license his self-published images appropriately next time he has a chance, but I don't want to risk the images being deleted because he doesn't log in to check. Mike Dillon 03:03, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
I actually don't know what German copyright law would say about taking pictures in a museum of documents that are original works of the wartime Nazi government. However, I did finally apply GFDL tags to all my Wannsee pictures. Thanks for the reminders. Schoen 05:32, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks so much for the revision of the Itaipu article! It's much better now. -- VdSV9 14:09, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for translation

Thanks so much for your work on Referendum concerning the prohibition of the sale of firearms and ammunition. There is very little information available on this in English, and you've really done a valuable service in translating this.--Pharos 14:53, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
