I'm confused. Have I offended you in some way? Why were you messing around with my user page? Isomorphic 23:21, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Photos

Hi, thanks for uploading and free licencing some great photos! Might I suggest uploading some of your photos to the Wikimedia Commons if you havn't considered doing so yet? It's usefull for making extra galleries or categories when we have more useful photos of a subject than are usually included in one article, and also the photos can be accessed to be used in other Wikimedia projects, such as the Wikipedias in other languages. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 03:02, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

How is this image Fair use and GFDL?Geni 20:00, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

From before 1900.

"Fair use" and "GFDL" are quite different, so it can't be both. And public domain due to age is still a third thing. It is your responsibility to determine the status of any image you upload and mark it appropriately; if there's something you have trouble figuring out, ask. Cheers, -- Infrogmation 23:45, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

-It's Fair Use. GFDL is an error.

Hey. I saw your photo here and loved it, but found it a bit dark on my computer, so I took the liberty of downloading and brightening it up (with some more contrast as well) on my own computer. This is my first time editing an image, so please go and check to make sure I did it right and all; also, if you prefer the original file that is of course your choice especially since you are the photographer. Thanks! Ben Tibbetts 02:32, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

-Thank you. You did a nice job with it. RichardMarcJ

[edit] Dealing with vandalism

Hi, Richard. To answer your question,

Excuse me, but what happened to the article[ about Dave (film)]? This is deplorable vandalism. How do we fix this? RichardMarcJ 01:59, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
  1. Click on the Page history button.
  2. Click on one of the (last) buttons to see the changes made in that edit; you can then step forward or backward from there if it's not the one you want. Or you can click on one of the (cur[rent]) buttons to see the cumulative effect of all edits after that one.
  3. Then go back to the history page and click on the time&date link to the last good version of the article.
  4. Click on Edit this page—you'll see a warning that "You are editing a prior version of this page."
  5. Put something like "reverting vandalism" in the edit summary, and hit Save page. Voila!—the page has been restored.

(Admins also have a shortcut procedure for reverting all the edits made by the last editor.)

[edit] Vesuvius

There is a superb night-time picture of Mount Vesuvius taken by you in the Mount Vesuvius article, which gives a realistic feel to how the mountain looks at night. However, the caption describes it as being taken from Napoli. I am confused about this because there is no water between Vesuvius and Naples, and the view is looking at the mountain from the other side. E.g. if you look at the picture at http://www.nzherald.co.nz/section/7/story.cfm?c_id=7&objectid=10366883, which is of the volcano photographed from Naples, the taller cone of Vesuvius is on the right hand side of the smaller peak of the wall of the Somma caldera; in your picture the cone is to the left of the Somma Caldera wall. My guess is that it was taken from the Sorrento Peninsula. I have changed the caption accordingly, if it is incorrect then please change it back. Best wishes, Jll 23:50, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks very much for taking the time to explain the caption. Best wishes, Jll 09:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
