[edit] Listing images for deletion

When you list an image on Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion you have to inform the uploader by adding a message to their talk page. You can use {{subst:idw|Image:Image name.ext}} (replace "Image name.ext" with the name of the image or media). --Thanks Nv8200p (talk) 21:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Oh thanks. I didn't know that. P.S. Some of the articles created by me were deleted without letting me know. What was it different? --minghong 05:54, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Windows Picture and Fax Viewer

Thank you so much for your good editing of he subject page. I appreciate it. If you see other improvements, please feel free. Phil ^talk 20:45, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Past tense in English

With complex predicate (not sure it's called this way, but it doesn't matter), only the first verb is changed to reflect the tense. E.g. "I saw him come" (as in Daniel 8:7), but never "I saw him came"; "you saw him go" (as in Acts 1:11), but never "you saw him went". --tyomitch 03:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

P.S. and past tense of rise is rose, not rised, anyway ;-)

Oops. Thanks for fixing that. :-) --minghong 06:20, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] SQL isn't relational

It seems (like most people, don't worry, vendors are working hard to misinform us) that you didn't get my point in renaming and splitting relational into SQL and relational. SQL isn't relational at all, have never been and never will be. Once it even tried too, but it gave up since at least ISO SQL:2003. AFAIK only FirstSQL still tries to reach relational sanity, and to what extent is doubtful.

So it is just a question of putting references like 'SQL aren't here anymore' and tidying up the rest. Feel free, I won't be able to tackle this right now.

-- LeandroGFCDutra 17:10, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

You are quite right, ORDBMS should be fixed and renamed. Just that I can't do it today... will do tomorrow God willing, and if you don't do that first.

-- LeandroGFCDutra 02:18, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Visual Basic Classic wikibook

I see you have contributed to the StarBasic article on Wikipedia. Any chance you would like to join in editing the wikibook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Visual_Basic_Classic? --Kjwhitefoot 11:07, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Oops, did I? Probably… but I didn't know VB actually. Sorry. I'm a C++/JS/PHP/Java programmer. :-P --minghong 14:21, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] More SQL worries

Just a heads up, I've started the process of restoring SDBMS to RDBMS, as that is what the world uses, and anything else would be confusing to people who use Wikipedia. :) Feel free to pitch in and correct /revert anything that needs it. I moved the hyper-technically correct RDBMS to "truly relational database management systems" and put up move requests on the relevant pages as I cannot move them back without ruining the history. Turnstep 15:55, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Good. I'll try to help when I'm free. --minghong 01:35, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] XUL

Regarding the endless reverts: I got only involved when I caught your comment (it's more a Mozilla thing). I don't believe you are aware of the evolution of XUL, its role in both Mozilla and especially in FF and how the new FF toolkit was the death knell for the Seamonkey suite. Either way, you seem to have more time than I do - so suite yourself. Jbetak 05:59, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Blue screen of death/Red screen of death

Hello. The merge of articles is disputed. I much appreciate your opnion, thanks. --Mateusc 02:17, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Looks like this debate has sort of turned into a mess, so if nobody objects, I'm going to try mediating. Can you come and comment at Talk:Blue screen of death#Foo Screen of Death merge? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:55, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review/Yuan (surname)

I've put the article Yuan (surname), up for peer review (see Wikipedia:Peer review/Yuan (surname)). I hope to make it a model for expanding other Chinese surname articles. Since you've contributed to the Chinese surname article, I would really appreciate your suggestions. Yu Ninjie 21:57, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Seems very nice. Even better than the corresponsing zh article… --minghong 23:55, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Browser Count

Sorry!!! I judged only by the date - I neglected to read the article. I thought you just confused days with version. Thanks for reverting it! — MATHWIZ2020 ^{TALK | CONTRIBS} 21:04, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

It's ok. --minghong 04:45, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] HK Disneyland Resort/香港迪士尼樂園度假區

I reverted your edit from 香港迪士尼樂園度假區 --> 香港迪士尼度假區 for the following reason:

香港迪士尼樂園度假區 is the name used by HK Disneyland themselves.

Do a Google search for the two -- a search for "香港迪士尼樂園度假區" reveals the Disney website, a search for 香港迪士尼度假區 shows up with the article in Chinese Wikipedia.

If anything, the name of the article on Chinese Wikipedia should be changed.

香港迪士尼樂園度假區

If you disagree, please leave a message on my talk page. Thanks =)

[edit] Firefox Myths

I changed the "Firefox Myths" link in the Firefox topic from [1] to [2], mainly in an attempt to calm the revert war and provide an educational article. However, I'm not all concerned about it now. If you want to remove it entirely (i.e. from its current home, "Criticisms of Mozilla Firefox"), feel free to.

1. If you are an admin, please remove your name from the list.
2. If you are currently interested in being considered for adminship, please be sure your name is in bold; if you are opposed to being considered for adminship, please cross out your name (but do not delete it, as it will automatically be re-added in the next page update).
3. Please check to see if you are in the right category for classification by number of edits.

Thank you, and have a wiki wiki day! BDAbramson T 03:39, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trying to fix my erroneous Cfd

I've nominated the deletion of Category:User kon for deletion review. Since you created the corresponding template, your opinions on this will be greatly appreciated. -- Omniplex 18:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category merge tag

Hi there. I just noticed the merge tag you put on Category:Natural hazards and Category:Natural disasters. I've started a discussion at Category talk:Natural hazards, if you would like to comment. Thanks. Carcharoth 08:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Template:User girlfriend

Hi, I notice that you are using Template:User girlfriend, which has been moved to {{User:UBX/girlfriend}}. The link currently being used on your page is a cross-namespace redirect and will probably not last. It may be advisable to change the link. Thanks. —Mira 01:15, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Instead of changing all those users pages, why don't we move the user box templates to where they are? --minghong 03:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It's part of the German solution to move some user templates to user namespace. — Instantnood 13:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

Please be reminded to modify the articles linking to a redirect after you've turned it into a disambiguation page [3] (see special:contributions/Sai Kung). In case the change is controversial, please consider bringing the matter to the talk page first. Thanks. — Instantnood 13:53, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] CfR procedures

Re [4] [5] [6] [7] - Please don't move the content of a category until its CfR nomination is passed. — Instantnood 14:59, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Nobody is saying you are or aren't stupid. You depopulated category:Sai Kung before you filed the CfR nomination. The normal procedure is to preserve the status quo until the CfR nomination is passed. The CfR decision will then be implemented by a bot. — Instantnood 16:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

What do you mean by " Just go ahead "? I apologise if you feel like offended. — Instantnood 16:31, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

I've instead put up a question at WP:CfD. By the way, you've moved, for instance, the Hung Shing Temple article, but the temple is on the Kau Sai Chau. — Instantnood 16:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Welcome. :-) — Instantnood 17:19, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Computer software notepad.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Computer software notepad.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. YellowDot 01:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Mashimaro.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Mashimaro.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. YellowDot 03:46, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Mainland-China map

Thank you for bringing up the issue. But I think I will just let it be, and will not do any modifications to the map. This is because of two reasons:

1. I am very busy in my school work, and I got something more meaningful and rewarding to do at school.
2. The maps of China are full of politics. I don't want to have anything to do with them any more.

Anyway, thank you for bringing up the issue.

[edit] Star Ferry Pier

I noticed you spilt off the section about the "old" Star Ferry pier into another article which you named Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier. I do not entirely agree with this move on several counts:

• There are now too many articles on Ferry piers which are too similar and thus potentially confusing. I feel they would have been better within the Star Ferry Pier article, which I have now renamed Star Ferry Pier, Central.
• The distinction of the Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier from the Star Ferry Pier in Central is too artificial
• Edinburgh Place Ferry Pier as a name is still ambiguous, as this would include Queen's Pier, and have been covered by the Central Ferry Piers article
• I feel that the changes in navigation as a result of the new page had not been properly thought through and executed, leaving behind something quite messy with the pages that were linked to it. The change in the terms of references required changes to the redirects, many of whcih I have now modified.

I will leave the articles for the moment, and see how they will develop. However, I do forsee re-merging the article may result in the most coherent encyclopaedic article. FYI, Star Ferry Pier now redirects back to Star Ferry. Ohconfucius 14:52, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed.
