[edit] Tickle Cove Pond

If it was not a copyright violation, then it was still just source material, meaning it was not an article but solely song lyrics. There is a sister wikiproject, Wikisource, for such public-domain source material. It is fine to include selections of such song lyrics (or poetry, or whatever the subject of any such article happens to be), and even at times the entire work is included (though this is usually not considered the best way of handling such things, particualrly when there is little other information in the article), but there must be an article about the subject, which I encourage you to write. For some examples on how this is better done look at a few other articles on similar subjects (some I wrote are linked from my userpage, and looking at many of the Child Ballad articles should be helpful too). -R. fiend 06:45, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you, that does make more sense now. So something like a histoy of the song or a recap of the song is better? What about modern uses of the song? I've put up a couple of the Child Ballads myself, when I've run across references to them from other articles The Mermaid (Child Ballad) from The Mermaid (song) (I recreated the links and references from The Mermaid (Great Big Sea)(which now redirects to The Mermaid (song).) Since it was rather sloppy (not that mine is any better, but it's more on topic)). And Captain Wedderburn's Courtship from Turn (album). I'm going to go back and see what I can do to fix them up. Is there any way that I can mark them so they don't get deleted? Thanks Nekura 07:04, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AYBABTU

As an occasional editor of the AYBABTU article, I wanted you to know that someone has suggested that the transcript of the opening and closing dialog be deleted. Personally, I think this is ludicrous, but your support is needed to keep the information on Wikipedia. If you are in favor of keeping the text, as it is clearly used under fair use guidelines, please enter a KEEP vote on its AFD page. Thanks! --BRossow 05:25, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing "Antartic -> Antarctic" I tried to make sure they were all correct, I guess I missed one. I was wondering if you would like some help on this project?

Don't worry – new errors are appearing all the time, it's impossible to correct everything. As far as help is concerned, it's up to you; this is a fairly boring job, but at least it's easy and uncontroversial. If you are interested, add your name to Wikipedia:Typo to let the participants there know that you are intending to help.

You can find lists of the most common typos and spelling errors at Wikipedia:Lists of common misspellings. Note that these lists are of course incomplete and there will be many less common errors that do not appear on those pages - so feel free to extend them. You can also find my personal summary of corrections at User:Gurch/Spelling – I have checked all of these within the last month so (hopefully) there shouldn't be too many occurences of them. I will be searching for more misspellings beginning with 'A' and 'B' over the next few days. There are others doing a similar sort of thing; User:Fuhghettaboutit is on 'O' at the moment, and there is a section of Wikipedia:Typo where you can post major mass-corrections to let others know what you have checked – Gurch 18:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, just one other thing – remember to sign your posts on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~) – Gurch 18:42, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Charlotte Sometimes

Yeah, when I first saw the two articles, I thought that it was just a duplicate article. Then when I realized what the person (I guess you) was doing, I waited about an hour and after I didn't see anything deleted from the original page, that's when I started touching the articles. Until I got to the disambig pages, I didn't realize that you there. Sorry about that, I hate that when that happens too. I just found out about the {{inuse}} tag last week. Pretty nifty.--Esprit15d 20:50, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Aurora Ship.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Aurora Ship.png. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me, or ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. Sue Anne 08:28, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] TLC

I would strongly suggest that you move this article Tender loving care to the Wiktionary. Bejnar 18:21, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arc vs. curvature

Greetings Nekura! Your Arc (geometry) stub may have clarified a major question I've had. Where \kappa_1,\kappa_2\,\! are the principal curvatures and M=\frac{1}{\kappa_1},N=\frac{1}{\kappa_2}\,\! are their respective radii, the "curvature in the normal section" is defined as \kappa_1\cos(\alpha)^2+\kappa_2\sin(\alpha)^2=\frac{cos(\alpha)^2}{M}+\frac{sin(\alpha)^2}{N}\,\! (\alpha\,\! is geodetic azimuth). Would the "arc curvature" (right term?) be \sqrt{(\kappa_1\cos(\alpha))^2+(\kappa_2\sin(\alpha))^2}=\sqrt{\left(\frac{cos(\alpha)}{M}\right)^2+\left(\frac{sin(\alpha)}{N}\right)^2}\,\!? Thus the "radius of arc", or "arcradius" (I've thought "arcradius" was just another term for "radius of curvature"), would be \frac{1}{\sqrt{(\kappa_1\cos(\alpha))^2+(\kappa_2\sin(\alpha))^2}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\left(\frac{cos(\alpha)}{M}\right)^2+\left(\frac{sin(\alpha)}{N}\right)^2}}\,\!? Is/are there any website(s) that discuss this? Sites dealing with curvature ignore this particular relationship, and sites referencing "radius of arc" appear to be simplistically spherical in nature——I know arcradius can be extracted from the elliptical loxodromic formula (such as used by the FCC).
Arc (geometry) appears to be the ideal article for this discussion, and I'd like to get some decent sources, so that I don't have to get too involved in trying to indirectly verify the concept (such as showing how it is extractable from the FCC formula)! P=)  ~Kaimbridge~ 16:45, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, when using \kappa_1,\kappa_2\,\!, wouldn't it be considered 3D, since you are starting out with the two principal curvatures and combining them——or, since they are both at a single point (just facing differently), they are "0D", therefore not adding any dimensions? ~Kaimbridge~ 13:36, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for that little "TOCright" fix on Azurite! I was frustrated by the way the TOC looked, but had no idea how to fix it. --Terry Bollinger 01:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Disambiguation Talk Request

This is a form message being sent to all WikiProject Disambiguation participants. I recently left a proposed banner idea on the WikiProject Disambiguation talk page and I would appreciate any input you could provide. Before it can be approved or denied, I would prefer a lot of feedback from multiple participants in the project. So if you have the time please join in the discussion to help improve the WikiProject. Keep up the good work in link repair and thanks for your time. Nehrams2020 21:37, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help please

Dear Nekura

I have seen your name listed in film wiki project. And apparently you are interested in cinematic styles. Would you please take a look at the cinematic genres section at Abbas Kiarostami. I am not an expert and we want to make that section brief and compact and transfer irrelevant materials to other sections. Any helps or comments would be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time. Sangak 18:08, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Here is the original draft I wrote: [1] There have beem some changes by some users afterwards. However some poeple think the quality is decreasing while others think it is increasing. Any helps from Your side will be very welcome.Sangak 09:07, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
