[edit] Noah Webster

Jooler has made an incorrect claim. Please see: User:Cultural_Freedom/FAQ#Noah_Webster. He is correct, however, about the importance of following Wipipedia's guidelines on spelling. --Cultural Freedom 2006-07-21 16:03 (UTC)

[edit] Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit

hello Kajmal :-)

I was looking through articles tagged as Stub when I saw Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit. Is Reverse Osmosis Water Purification Unit a term used exclusively by the US Armed Forces? Couldn't it be a generic term? A unit that is used for Reverse_osmosis#Drinking_water_purification? I don't know much about it, but I remember studying something about it in high-school. :-) Cheers and Happy editing! --anirudh 14:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

that clarifies things..thanks... :) mm........wots these numbers mean? (AFSC: 3E451) .. Happy editing! :-) -06:34, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Brainwave!!!! check AFSC!!! ... so you are a Civil Engineer? And a journeyman...and you know a Germanic language... Is that correct? Not complete tho, is it? what does the 4 mean? Air Force Specialty Code says Career Field Subdivision (Numerical, different for each career field)... and what does that imply? How do we know which Germanic language? --anirudh 14:07, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Interesting... :-) Happy editing... --05:56, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Bdsm-emblem.gif

I see that the image is back, and this time marked as Copyrighted, and Quagmyr has irrevocably released all rights. I just spoke with him an email not long ago, and asked him to do just that, and he declined, allowing only limited usage. Could you please document Quagmyr's release, so that the image doesn't get deleted again? I will send him a quick note also to check that he is okay with this. Atom 21:03, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

So sorry, I know that you, and others feel that it can't be copyrighted, but that isn't the issue. This is Wikipedia. Wikipedia respects intellectual property. A copyright is claimed. It is someone elses battle on whether that is true or not. Atom 01:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Indeed. If you were to make your own image, your own creative work, similar, but different than Quagmyr's image, upload it and offer it into the public domain, there would be nothing anyone could do about it. The existing image's primary difference from the ancient triskelion symbol is that the "legs" rotate in the opposite direction to the standard triskelion design (counter-clockwise), that he has added "holes" (not dots), and that this is unique, and has a representative meaning ("the holes represent the incompleteness of any individual within the BDSM context"), and that it is encircled, and that it has distinctive colors not associated with any triskelion graphic or symbol. And so, it is artistically unique, different, and original authorship.

If your design goes in the same direction as the ancient design (clockwise), and does not have holes (perhaps nothing, or perhaps "dots", not holes, and different coloration, then not only would it be a different and unique design, but anyone claiming it was would indeed, have to say how it was different from the non-copyrightable ancient triskelion symbol. Either way, you would succeed. Atom 02:01, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
