Hi BlindEagle, I really liked your entry on guard llamas (although the subject as such first makes you think of a joke). Very welcome to Wikipedia! You seem familiar with how it works around here, but I'll throw a couple of links at you anyway. Maybe you'll find one or two of them useful, at one time or another.

Don't hesitate to ask me questions on my talk page. I might not be able to answer everything, but hopefully I should know where to look for the answers... // Habj 18:18, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to wait so long to respond... my main focus is on Swedish Wikipedia (and I would certainly not call myself trilingual, my French is terrible. I understand some in writing though, so I figured that would be enough for the most basic level of knowing anything of a language...
Regarding the photos. It mainly comes down on who owns the copyrignt of the photos; most often, this is the photographer. If you took them yourself, you can decide to release them under a free license and put them on wikipedia, also enabling use of them on other places. If you do not want to do that, or if you do not own the pictures... well. Maybe, maybe it passes under the clause of "fair use". I am not good at these things, I really can not tell. We can always check with someone more knowledgeable about this specifically American twist in copyright laws. The best thing would be though, if you have some photos you have taken yourself. Even if they are of lower quality, it is much preferred. // Habj 23:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guard llamas

Hey Rboesen, it's unnecessary to link to guard llamas as they are not used in Wales and England where the lleyn sheep reside predominantly. Jack 13:06, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Reverting to older version of a page

It is really very easy: you click on the "history" tab, pick up the version you want by clicking the date and timepoint of that version, then click "edit" and save the page. // habj 09:12, 8 September 2006 (UTC)


[edit] merino

I think it is wrong to link to guard llamma as they are not used extensivly to guard stock; in Australia Maremma_Sheepdog dogs and Alpacas are sometimes used. But I am not going to start an edit war over it. You decide which is more important wikipedia or the promotion of llammas Charles Esson 21:15, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

This is much better than an edit war. USA represents 0.7% of the worlds wool production, 0.3% of the merino production. I wonder if llammas work? We use Maremma's they definitely do, they bond to the sheep and they protect them well. It is my view Alpaca's don't, but that is something I would never write in an Encylopedia.

[edit] Re: Change User Name

Is there a way to change one's user name here? Thanx. Rboesen 16:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

You can request username changes at Wikipedia:Changing username. Thanks – Qxz 16:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:66.244.91.174

Hi BlindEagle, thanks for helping out with Cold fusion as you did with the recent edit by User:66.244.91.174. Just a heads up that I tweaked your comment on that user's talk page in case the user's edit really was meant in good faith. Ronnotel 15:26, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Strange final warning notice

I noticed that you warned User talk:207.156.197.1 over here for their edits to Zeus... but I looked at the Zeus log -- I don't see where that edit was made. Perhaps you can direct me to their vandalism? MrMacMan 15:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I guess I was looking for specifically where the 207.156 IP made their vandalism. I see where you reverted the IPs 164.116., here when you reverted 198.237. and here where you reverted 140.211. But I don't see where the person you gave the warning to made edits. Can if you can show me some a diff I would thank you immeasurably. MrMacMan 18:25, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah like I said you reverted the edits of of IP address 140.211.69.11 then you warned the IP address 207.156.197.1. You might have warned the wrong IP address. MrMacMan 19:10, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bhutan pine

I notice that you reverted my edit of this article on the name. Your reversion is to an assertion about the name Bhutan pine, that 'this name is now avoided...'. Well, you may avoid this name, but I don't. It is common names we are talking about, and if you are trying to prescribe which ones people should use, then that is not only pointless, but goes against the principle of an encyclopaedia. Imc 15:42, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply, glad that's cleared up. Imc 16:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the welcome

A lot of those links I'd already found by myself, but there are several that are new and look useful after a cursory examination. I've done a few minor edits before, but I finally decided to make myself an 'official' user.LifeIsArt 20:14, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Llama_sex.jpeg

The legitimacy of the source was questioned by two other editors and the uploader is no longer active to verify his claim. -Nv8200p talk 22:19, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

--Atilladrjb 06:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)I redirected William Boyd to Will Boyd. Cause his proper name is William James Boyd but his common name is Will Boyd. Like William Jefferson Clinton's Bill Clinton. Can you write William Clinton? No. Please change it, or let me change.

[edit] Karakul Sheep

I think saying that "black servant" is a translation of "karakul" is more of a Turkish play on words than anything else. I'm going to revert. Thanks for pointing this out (It's also the name of a lake in Tajikistan, btw). Twalls 20:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
