[edit] Hi Chile

Hi there, thanks for your msgs on my talk page. I've been a very lax wikipedian, haven't logged in for about six months. But now I'M BACK! Ive been dead busy, especially with some political work I had in the run-up to the general election. Talk soon. FrankP 1 July 2005 16:15 (UTC)

[edit] Wast Water

That's a great picture of Wast Water. Thanks for adding it! --David Edgar 12:11, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] copyright issue

Hi Chilepine. Could you have a look at your edit on Patterdale Terrier please? The majority of the text you added appears to be copied from rarebreed.com and so, unless you are the original author, this might be a copyright problem. Text added to Wikipedia must be your own work or free from copyright. Please can you let me know the situation in this case? Thanks -- sannse (talk) 22:49, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Chilepine - good work :) -- sannse (talk) 00:06, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sumac

Hi Chilepine - your addition of Rhus verniciflua is a bit of a tricky one; it is already included under the segregate genus Toxicodendron. Personally, I think Toxicodendron should be incorporated within Rhus (as it is not a genetically distinct genus), but I'm not too sure how well it would go down. It would also mean an awful lot of link editing on various other pages! Any thoughts yourself? - MPF 11:36, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks! - MPF 19:25, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Author of photos?

Hi Chilepine,

You've uploaded some marvelous photos! It looks like you're quite into hiking. The only problem is, some of them don't indicate who actually took the picture. I retagged Image:Hippeastrum.JPG as {{PD-self}} under the assumption that you took it, but there are others. If you like, I could retag them for you; just let me know.

Also, it looks like you've reduced the resolution of the images. If you still have the original high-resolution versions, it would be wonderful if you could upload them. Higher resolution is always better.

Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 01:10, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hello Dbenbenn

I'm glad you like the photos. The link 'PD-link' I have used does say it is released by the creator who is myself. I usually take images in 640 by 480 pixel resolution. If I take them in a high resolution I can only get a handful on the memory card. I may try taking a few high resolution images and upload them some time to see the benefits.

I think the main benefit would be for a hypothetical print edition of Wikipedia. Not really a big deal.

I guess it's a minor point, but the image description pages don't actually say that you are the creator. Is it okay if I add "This photograph was taken by User:Chilepine" to the ones that use PD-link, just to make it totally clear?

By the way, are you aware of the Wikimedia Commons? It's a sister project specifically for images. The benefit of putting images at the Commons is that all Wikipedias can use them. For example, da:Venus-Fluefanger (Dionaea muscipula) could use your photo of a Venus Flytrap. dbenbenn | talk 16:27, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me about Wikimedia Commons. I looked at it and it looks interesting. Also if you still want to change my copyright tags that is fine and would you use the PD-user|Chilepine tag now please. It is on Image:Johnson's Blue.jpg

cheers Chilepine 17:56, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Okay, done. Thanks for helping me clarify that. dbenbenn | talk 21:44, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:View of Wastwater from side of Great Gable.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:View of Wastwater from side of Great Gable.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Could you add a tag to let us know its copyright status? (If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. Thanks so much. --Nv8200p 18:28, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello! I noticed that you are a member of WikiProject Plants. Therefore you may be interested in supporting the nomination of Cactus to the Article Improvement Drive. There are woefully few plant articles among the featured articles. Furthermore, Cactus definitely deserves a better article. this is our chance! If you agree, you can suppost the nomination at the AID page. --Chino 05:16, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
