[edit] Deletion of Image:DS9DVD1-7.jpg

I put Image:DS9DVD1-7.jpg up for deletion since I found a larger image (also from amazon...not sure how you didn't stuble across it) and made the name less cryptic. Cburnett 03:33, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

I just wanted to save disk space, my actual image is yours but reduced in Photoshop to your specified 280px which I find esthetically pleasing after all, good team work (thanks for doing TNG) --Astrowob 03:35, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Disk space is pretty much a non-issue from what I read. It's primarily the processing and memory (most of the pages are cached in memory) that are in short supply. Though I try to keep things reasonable, 35 KB vs. 15 KB isn't worth fretting over. Cburnett 03:37, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

Ok weel if the bigger image looks better I see no problem putting it then (I would just worry about the loading time for slow modems). I did TOS, but with a 280px since I had alredy made the image, but there is also the full picture in backup if you prefer.

Well, having two images (one original and one scaled) means you're taking up more space than if you just had the original. :) Also, if you scale an image down (ala [[Image:TOSDVD1-3.jpg|280px]] then the user only downloads a scaled version (it's not the full image scaled in your browser....it's an actual scaled image. It's really, um, pointless to scale down images (unless they're amazingly huge) since WP automagically keeps cached the smaller, auto-generated images. Cburnett 03:54, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

Ok thanks, I didn't know that, used to be a webmaster and to worry about my page being more than 30kb (in the 90s) cheers ;) --Astrowob 03:59, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] papal infobox

why did you change the infobox for popes without agreement? The one in place was widely liked. The one you replaced it with is dreadful? FearÉIREANN 21:31, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Could you indicate what change you say I did? I did put some infoboxes on may popes page, but I only put the Template:Infobox pope that was disponible at the time I put them. I DID NOT alter the Template:Infobox pope at ANY TIME therefore if someone wanted to make changes to it all the popes page would change (except the first few I did which were with the complete code of the infobox instead of the template following what had been done on other pages). So, before accusing me of anything like this could you at least accuse with a good description of what you are accusing me? --Astrowob 14:31, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

My humbliest apologies, Astro. I have having technical difficulty accessing some pages. In the absence of access to here I presumed that a superior box was being replaced by a new inferior template. Once I stopped getting the error messages (God I hate wikipedia error messages!) I saw that I was wrong. I intended to withdraw my comments but forgot. It was only when I was lying in bed that I realised I had not paid my planned visit back to your page. My sincere apologies, FearÉIREANN 19:26, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

FYI - I really liked the new Pope Infobox so I have proposed that it be used for all religious leades on Infobox policy. There have been no objections so far (since Friday). If that continues I plan on helping to update the articles for the new Infobox. If you have comments, concerns please discuss there Trödel|talk 17:37, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A request for assistance

Would you support the concept of moving the Earhart "myths" to a separate page or article? The reason for my suggesting this is that the main article should be an accurate and scholarly work while the speculation and conspiracy theories surrounding the disappearance of Amelia Earhart are interesting, they belong in a unique section. Most researchers, as you know, discount the many theories and speculation that has arisen in the years following her last flight. Go onto the Earhart discussion page and register your vote/comments...and a Happy New Year to you as well. Bzuk 03:02 3 January 2007 (UTC).
