[edit] Image Halsema

Hi! I saw you changed the image of Halsema with a GDFL licensed one. I don't mean to attack your photography skills, but I don't think this picture is very beautiful, especially compared to for instance the Wouter Bos or Jan Marijnissen pictures, which are professional publicity shots. I'd prefer to put a professional shot (with its "this is copyrighted"-problems) in the infobox and move your photograph down. Can you live with that? C mon 23:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Sure, go ahead. --Erwin85 10:03, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scratchpad

Hi! As others might find your list helpful as well, I added it to to Wikipedia:WikiProject Lakes/Articles/all. Hope you don't mind. -- User:Docu

No problem, glad I could help. --Erwin85 21:40, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Kees_Vendrik

Hi! I've written the Kees Vendrik-article and I'm looking for illustrations. I saw you contributed a photo of him for the commons. I don't know how to transfer this image here in a way that the link between the image on the commons and here is clear. Could you transfer it? Thanks in advance! C mon 14:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I don't understand what you mean. You can use an image on Commons the same way you would use a local image, i.e. [[Image:Kees Vendrik.jpg]] would result in the image. --Erwin85 11:40, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! I did know that! C mon 12:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Automated message to bot owners

As a result of discussion on the village pump and mailing list, bots are now allowed to edit up to 15 times per minute. The following is the new text regarding bot edit rates from Wikipedia:Bot Policy:

Until new bots are accepted they should wait 30-60 seconds between edits, so as to not clog the recent changes list and user watchlists. After being accepted and a bureaucrat has marked them as a bot, they can edit at a much faster pace. Bots doing non-urgent tasks should edit approximately once every ten seconds, while bots who would benefit from faster editing may edit approximately once every every four seconds.

Also, to eliminate the need to spam the bot talk pages, please add Wikipedia:Bot owners' noticeboard to your watchlist. Future messages which affect bot owners will be posted there. Thank you. --Mets501 02:35, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lake Madawaska

I notice a link from a Scratchpad in your userspace to Lake Madawaska. I just wanted to let you know that the page has moved to Madawaska Lake, because there is another lake in Ontario, Canada that is officially called Lake Madawaska, while the lake descibed in that article is officially known as Madawaska Lake. I don't know which you will want to link to, so I've left your link unchanged. - Cafemusique 18:46, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

That was really old stuff on my scratchpad so I removed the contents. Thanks anyway for notifying me! --Erwin85 19:40, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
