[edit] Re: Admin

Thank you. I am most happy to accept it. :-) (although I'm afraid I have to accept it with conditions..) — Instantnood 06:40, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks again WP for your encouragement, although I have now decided to decline the nomination. :-D — Instantnood 17:28, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Editing problems

WP: there seems to be a problem with some of your edits, in that you are replacing symbols with codes for symbols. Among other effects this messes up formatting tags such as comment start and stop indicators (see your recent edits to The Beatles for example). Jgm 19:54, 7 October 2005 (UTC)

I notice you've tried to add an image to the flag of Hong Kong article [1] . Is that a wrong link? — Instantnood 13:22, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Swedish election 2006

I see you've added a comment to add the current positions of the parties in Parliament but that information is already in the article. Let me know what you were thinking... - Jord 14:51, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Lr_route.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Lr_route.png. 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 on Wikipedia 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. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 11:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merge

I noticed that you have placed a merge tag on SKY Network Television and Optus Fleet of Satellites. Could you please provide some reasons on either talk page. Evil Monkey - Hello 22:14, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

[edit] Hello, vandal!

Why did you vandalize the Los Angeles D-League page? I tried to put it back the way it was before you screwed it up, and it doesn't work. What's more, your clarity tag is all that shows up in the edit history. Thanks to you, it's a mess! YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE VANDAL! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by M.

[edit] User:Bartik removed your deletion tag from article Alan Freeman(Kalamazoo)

I'm not quite sure what's going on here. His first article, Alex Biles, looked okay but got speedied. He then made Alan Freeman(Kalamazoo), which you also tagged for speedy deletion, and which he got around by removing the tag. He then made AFree to support something written in his Alan Freeman article. He also added Alan Freeman to the article on Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Update: Both remaining articles were deleted by administrator Bkonrad. --Lantoka 02:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New Zealand Sign Language

Hi, I'm not sure whether your statement about NZSL being the first official sign language is entirely correct. I know that BSL has been officially recognised in the UK for quite a while, but I'm not sure on the exact details. --Avxxv 13:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reminder

When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

[edit] Use of {{stub}} is no longer recommended

Use of {{stub}} is no longer recommended

Hello,

Thank you for your stub submission. You may wish to note that it is preferable to use a stub template from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types instead of using simply {{stub}}, if you can.

Thanks! -- Where 03:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Chinese name for Seoul

I've reverted you deletion of 漢城 (Hànchéng) from Names of Asian cities in different languages. The Chinese term 漢城 (Hànchéng) for Seoul cannot yet be considered obsolete. While the Korean authorities declared several years ago that 首爾 (Shǒu’ěr) was their preferred translation, this request was reciprocated at official levels by Chinese and has not seen widespread adoption by the general public. (See Seoul article for some info). Although this situation might change in the future, the 漢城 (Hànchéng) is still the primary way many Chinese refer to the city. AjaxSmack 05:21, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] World Cup Sponsorship AfD

Hi, I just wanted to tell you that I’ve made some rather large additions to 2006 FIFA World Cup sponsorship and would appreciate if you could take a look at them and possibly reconsider your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2006 FIFA World Cup sponsorship. I thought it was a worthy topic, even though it had a wretched article, so I added information about revenue and the sponsorship process, the sponsor related controversies of this World Cup (tickets distribution, Budweiser in Germany, Mcdonalds at a sporting event), and took out the copyvios. Please take a look. Thanks! Vickser 19:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hoi polloi

Thanks for changing the quote style at hoi polloi. I was not aware of that kind of quote style, proving yet again that you can learn something new everyday. I also thank you for your comments about the article. I have changed the image format and moved the wiktionary box. They were both good suggestions. Best, Johntex\^talk 06:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SVG Format

How is it possible to save it as SVG? I can save it as PNG, but the thumbs are still JPEG (I guess) Anyway, please inform me how to do so, and how is it possible. -- Omernos 16:57, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

I got the same comment on my recent FAC. It should be noted by WP and those that push this - there is a significant difference between an SVG and a JPG or PNG. SVG is based on Vector graphics and computes the image using math. This is very different from a JPG or PNG that is based on Raster graphics or pixels. This is why SVG graphics resize without quality loss. This is all great if you have a vector graphics editor and want to recreate the images from scratch. You can not convert one to the other. I think opposing based on this makes no sense. It might be worth a comment if that. The PNG format does not always produce the smallest file size and in many cases JPG is a better option. It is even recommended that "only convert it to PNG if this reduces the file size without causing artifacts". See Wikipedia:How to reduce colors for saving a JPEG as PNG on how to convert for the best results. Again, this is a recommendation and should only be a comment. Converting JPG to PNG is not a huge deal. Forcing someone to create a new graphic in a completely different format (SVG) is nonsense. Morphh 23:51, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boy Scouts of America membership controversies

At the FAC discussion you asked "why is the ACLU logo there?". The short answer is that we were having a hard time finding images for the article, and the ACLU logo was one we could come up with. By you question, were you suggesting it should be moved to elsewhere in the article , or that we should remove it entirely? .. Anything to get your vote. --Alecmconroy 02:14, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Signature tip (or how to save two bites a page).

Many article titles are disambiguated with parenthetic qualifiers, like this: [[Self (psychology)]]. But when you want to include such a link in the body of an article, this would look rather awkward. So all you have to do is use the "pipe trick", like this: [[Self (psychology)|]]. Notice the "|" character stuck in there at the end of the link? That makes the link look like this: Self, without having to type the name of the link after the pipe!

This trick also works with namespaces, so that [[Wikipedia:Tip of the day|]] (again notice the pipe character) displays like this: Tip of the day.

[edit] Libya

Hello,

Regarding changing maps and the seal from jpeg to a suitable format on the Libya page, that has now been done. Could you now please reconsider your objection to the article being featured.

Thanks very much,

[edit] Question on your oppostion to the Bears FAC

What is SVG? What does the logo, helmet, and uniform being in SVG have anything to do with it being a feature article? --Happyman22 17:42, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Not one featured pro sports article uses SVG, but if you want me to use it I will, but they me how can I create an SVG image and where can I get the program. --Happyman22 15:12, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:BrandHK.PNG)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:BrandHK.PNG. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 19:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comment on Atomic Line Filter FAC

Hi, I've resolved the issue regarding SVG diagrams in the Atomic line filter FAC. Would you mind reevaluating? Phidauex 15:41, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ohio Wesleyan University

Quick question regarding the Ohio Wesleyan University. You left a very helpful comment regarding the page candidacy back in July. Since then, a lot of the issues that you mentioned have been improved on. Could you take a look and tell me what are some of the major areas that still need work and what work exactly? I'd greatly appreciate it! WikiprojectOWU 18:44, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Collusion between business and government AfD

Just to let you know, I've put Collusion between business and government up for deletion. You can contribute to the discussion here: AfD discussion if you like. - Richfife 06:18, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ohio Wesleyan page

3 months ago you noted some problems with the content and formating on the page. I am working with user:Bluedog423 on improving some of its formatting and content. Could you provide your opinion on outstanding issues in case of a future FA nomination? Your time is greatly appreciated! Any help is greatly appreciate it! WikiprojectOWU 03:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
