Howdy. Please take a closer look at the speedy criteria for images. If two files are identical but have different filetypes (i.e. JPG and PNG) then the undesired type is explicitly not a CSD and must be deleted through the WP:IFD process instead. Cheers, android79 01:54, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

LoL. Wikipedia bureaucracy owns! /Slarre 01:58, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
Funny you should say that. IIRC, I'm the one who suggested the "different file types = not speedy" rule, and now it's biting me in the ass. I untagged about 30 of them earlier today. android79 02:00, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Invasion of Iraq

What about all the Iraqis are pissed off at the US because of the war? It was certainly not a "liberation". --Hottentot

Pissed because the US removed the bloodthirsty massmurdering dictator Saddam Hussein? Please... /Slarre 02:33, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
No, because it's obvious that the US's motive for invading Iraq was oil, and that the US lied about their reasons for invading Iraq. Furthermore, conditions for the Iraqi people have definitely not improved since Saddam was deposed. Most of them have no electricity and running water. --Hottentot
OMG, moonbat detected! /Slarre 02:42, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
How about Ignorance detected? --Hottentot
Please do not restore your cat on Galloway, Chirac, etc. It is pretty clear that the cat is going to be deleted. AlistairMcMillan 15:22, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Then discuss this at the correct please instead of engaging in edit wars. /Slarre 15:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Three Revert Rule

Please be aware of the three revert rule. AlistairMcMillan 15:44, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

I have not reverted more than three times, just as many times as you did. /Slarre 15:45, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
I wasn't accusing you of breaking the rule. I was just making sure you were aware of it, so that you don't break it. AlistairMcMillan 15:47, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Help with Translation!?

Can you help translate this for me to swedish? Many thanks in advance!

The first railroad line in Albania was built in 1948 linking Tiranë with Durrës on the coast and Elbasan in the interior. The main ports are Durrës, Vlorë, Shëngjin, and Sarandë.

Albania has a somewhat limited telephone network. There is a fairly extensive broadcasting service, however, and television programming began in 1971. Newspaper circulation is quite limited. There is a state university at Tiranë.

[edit] EPS>SVG

Hello! What do you type in pstoedit (at the command line) in order to convert from eps to svg? /Slarre 18:59, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello. pstoedit uses plugins to convert to different target formats. Run pstoedit -help to see if there are any SVG plugins available on your install. On my Debian Linux system, I have the "plot-svg" plugin which converts to SVG output via GNU's libplot. This is available by installing the libpstoedit0 Debian package. You can then run pstoedit -f plot-svg inputfile.eps outputfile.svg .
Note that this implementation isn't perfect, the SVG output generated required some hand-tuning in the attempts I have made. If you have any problems, let me know and I would be glad to help out. --ChrisRuvolo (t) 19:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Author articles

Hi, I have noticed that you have recently been creating a number of articles were the content is of the form: X is a Y author. Please consider adding a little more information to each of these articles because as they stand each is a valid candidate for speedy deletion under criteria A7 (An article about a real person, group of people, band, or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject). Adding one or two sentences to each article indicating why these authors are notable (published books, literary awards, ...) is all that is required to overcome this problem. --Allen3 talk 02:36, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Boström and spelling mistakes?

Hej! I've been translating the Boström article that you requested a while ago and ran into this sentence: Hans övriga intressen bestod i ett stärkt försvar vilket yttrade sig i från hans sida på ett stärkt sjöförsvar och ett starkt motstånd mot upphävande av indelningsverket. Is stärkt right or should that be starkt? While I've never run across stärkt försvar, it's not unlikely that it just comes from not reading too much Swedish anymore. I've though about translating the sentence like this: In addition, he was interested in a strong defence, which he considered to have manifested itself as a strong marine defence, and a strong opposition to the abolition of the Swedish allotment system. How does that sound? -Yupik 20:51, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Nice to see someone translating this article. The word "stärkt" in Swedish means "strengthened", although I think "strong" would work here as well. /Slarre 21:38, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
I think I've been reading too much German lately, as I figured it should be förstärkt or starkt, but not stärkt. Pretty interesting article and a challenge to translate as I have to constantly be looking up the terms for things like "allotment system"! Hopefully I'll be able to work on the ones left over over time, too. Plus, I've been translating other related articles (Ludvig Almqvist). Feel free to check out the translations and copyedit them! -Yupik 22:31, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
Nice! I'll check them out. /Slarre 22:39, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Far use policy

Hi. I think you have misunderstood Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy item #9.

It says: "Fair use images should be used only in the article namespace". The article namespace means all those articles that do not start with "User:", "Talk:", "Template", etc. I don't see why you have to remove fair use images from articles such as Riksdag. Could you please explain your reasoning?

Fred-Chess 23:02, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Fair use logos can only be used to describe the article in question. See User:Durin/Removal of fair use images for more info. It is also a standard policy in enwiki to use colors instead of logos in lists related to political parties/election results. /Slarre 23:23, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arvid Lindman

Hi. I've translated sv:Arvid Lindman to Arvid Lindman now. Just so you know. Will most likely translate a few more of the pages that translation are requested for, don't remember if you had requested any of those, or if it was only this, but anyway. --Spreetin 21:33, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Looks very good. /Slarre 22:02, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Maps

Hi, can you please stop unilaterally changing the maps in all those articles some of us actually like them and should be given the opportunity to defend our views on the matter. Self-appointed arbiters only cause edit wars.--Tekleni 20:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Ditto!--Eupator 20:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
"Self-appointed arbiters" Aha! I guess that's why it's ok for you to revert to your version. /Slarre 20:47, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

They jumped all over me for not liking their taste in maps too, you are not alone. The Country the article is about should be proudly in the center of the map, the old maps should stay!--Hamparzoum 20:51, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problems with images that you have uploaded (twice) in the Harold Pinter page (Current one was tagged for speedy deletion: see the image page)

Both images that you placed in that article have the same problem. There are no rationales provided relating to fair use for either image. They are copyrighted images and neither in the public domain nor actually within fair use (as per your apparent claims on those images' pages). The more recently-taken (Nobel Prize) photo is better quality and more recent, but it is not within fair use, and there is no fair use rationale given for it (by you and/or the original uploader), just as there is no rationale given for fair use for any of the relatively-current photos of Pinter that you or others have taken from the BBC.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Harold Pinter.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Harold Pinter.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 lacking such an explanation will 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. NYScholar 08:48, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ataturk

Don't even start.. There are tons of archives on the top right corner, if you want more background info on the concensus reached, please check them.. And check the templates on top of the talk page as well. On the other hand, if you find any impartial information or source proving his participation in anything, please bring them in. Maybe he did not participate in them and that's why it is not mentioned, has that thought occurred to you my fellow?? We have been going over this for months now with many passers-by dropping in and asking the same questions and over and over and over again.. Funny thing is, nobody can bring in any sources. It is like Groundhog Day, it seems to start all over again :)) Baristarim 16:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I second this thought. Please read over the most recent archives of the Ataturk Talk page. If indeed you have any information regarding credible assertions that Ataturk played a part in either the Armenian or Assyrian genocide please refer to such so that the issue might be further evaluated. I'm pretty familiar with most of the activities surounding the Armenian Genocide (though perhaps less so in the Assyrian case) and I am also very familiar with Ataturk's activities during this period as well as preceeding such and after and I am not aware of anything that directly links Ataturk to the Armenian genocide. If one examines his activities during this period you sill see that he performed almost exclusively as a professional military officer and was not involved in any way in establishing state policy or carrying it out - beyond his duties as on officer in the Ottoman/Turkish army. While the army did slaughter conscripted Armenian men and did attack certain Armenian towns and villages it was not the principle means of enacted the Armenian Genocide nor arre there any reports that I am aware of of Ataturk taking part in any actions against Armenian civilians or Armenian conscripts during this period. By all accounts Ataturk was appauled by the severity and in-humaness of the CUP directed actions against the Armenians during this time.--THOTH 16:28, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I was attempting some humor, so don't take it the wrong way :) As AW said below, we had a very looon debate about this after the page got protected for edit-warring on this precise issue, and it just got unprotected yesterday, we put in the concensus version that was agreed on the talk page after a looong debate, and it had to be semi-protected again couple of hours ago because of random anon vandalism and edit-warring. So, we r a bit touchy :) But you are more than welcome to drop in and participate in the debate: many users would like that article to succeed in a GA review and an eventual FA review, so we need to cover all grounds with good references.. But just keep in mind that there is a live debate. Don't say I didn't warn you :)Baristarim 16:25, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ataturk

Hi there. If you have some verifiable sources about him and genocide, please discuss that on the article's talk page. We just had a long and contentious debate about it, so people are still probably a bit riled up - please be as reasonable as you can. Thanks. --AW 16:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Untagged image

An image you uploaded, Image:Swedish Navy.svg, was tagged with the {{coatofarms}} copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as {{seal}}. If you have any questions, ask them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. -- 08:17, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Livgardet.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Livgardet.png. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Hi. I have translated the Carl Swartz article if you'd like to check it out. Pikiwedian 07:48, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! It looks very good~indeed. /Slarre 16:59, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SVT's logotype

I just noticed that you changed the logotype back to the old one in the article on Sveriges Television. Please note that the logotype I changed to earlier today is the current and correct one used by SVT since 2006. The logotype you have supplied is the one that was in use from 2001 until last year. The size and style of the lettering has since been modified and nowadays almost always presented white on blue background. However, I can make an inverted version on a transparent background, if that's preferred. --Aatox 23:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok, sorry for the misunderstanding. An inverted logo on transparent background would be good. /Slarre 23:27, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Alright, I'll do that tomorrow. Or later today, I mean... --Aatox 23:29, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! :) /Slarre 23:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Sveriges Television logo.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Sveriges Television logo.svg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

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.

[edit] Image:Anders Wijkman.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Anders Wijkman.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link.

[edit] Location Maps

On the WikiProject Countries talk page, you had either explictly declared a general interest in the project, or had participated at a discussion that appears related to Location Maps for European countries.
New maps had been created by David Liuzzo, and are available for the countries of the European continent, and for countries of the European Union exist in two versions. From November 16, 2006 till January 31, 2007, a poll had tried to find a consensus for usage of 'old' or of which and where 'new' version maps. At its closing, 25 people had spoken in favor of either of the two presented usages of new versions but neither version had reached a consensus (12 and 13), and 18 had preferred old maps.
As this outcome cannot justify reverting of new maps that had become used for some countries, seconds before February 5, 2007 a survey started that will be closed at February 20, 2007 23:59:59. It should establish whether the new style maps may be applied as soon as some might become available for countries outside the European continent (or such to depend on future discussions), and also which new version should be applied for which countries.
Please note that since January 1, 2007 all new maps became updated by David Liuzzo (including a world locator, enlarged cut-out for small countries) and as of February 4, 2007 the restricted licence that had jeopardized their availability on Wikimedia Commons, became more free. The subsections on the talk page that had shown David Liuzzo's original maps, now show his most recent design.
Please read the discussion (also in other sections α, β, γ, δ, ε, ζ, η, θ) and in particular the arguments offered by the forementioned poll, while realizing some comments to have been made prior to updating the maps, and all prior to modifying the licences, before carefully reading the presentation of the currently open survey. You are invited to only then finally make up your mind and vote for only one option.
There mustnot be 'oppose' votes; if none of the options would be appreciated, you could vote for the option you might with some effort find least difficult to live with - rather like elections only allowing to vote for one of several candidates. Obviously, you are most welcome to leave a brief argumentation with your vote. Kind regards. — SomeHuman 7 Feb 2007 20:36 (UTC)

[edit] Riksdagsledamöter

Greetings, compatriot. We've met here on several occasions, I believe, but what brings me here now is that I notice you more often than what could be considered normal on my watchlist. Were I paranoid, I might think you were stalking me, but sane as I am I simply note that you share some of my interests. Therefore, and also considering your frequent appearance on Special:Recentchangeslinked/User:Jobjörn/Riksdagsledamöter, I was wondering if you would like to help out with my one-man wikiproject over at User:Jobjörn/Riksdagsledamöter?

Thank you for removing the dud entries under Sweden. Are you in a position to provide positive references for other names to prove that they are Jewish? There are very few editors with enough knowledge of Swedish to do so.--Runcorn 23:16, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Yeah, I'm keeping the list and Category:Swedish Jews on my watchlist since there seem to be some editors with a will to label certain people as Jewish without providing any sources.

I saw you had done Swedish-American relations so maybe you can figure this out. Maybe I missed something very obvious but I can't think what's wrong. --Pudeo (Talk) 19:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The image seems to work fine for me. /Slarre 04:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
So for me now, the file name showed as a red link for the whole day eventhough I had refressed it completely. So some database bugs, no probs then. --Pudeo (Talk) 18:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Congratulations!

You succeeded in abbreviating four out of four words in an edit summary, a remarkable achievement indeed! ;) Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 00:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, thanks! :) /Slarre 00:22, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] POV dispute over at Carl Bildt

Hi Slarre. I thought I'd drop a note notifying you of the fact that I've removed all contested statements from the Carl Bildt article and initiated a discussion at Talk:Carl Bildt#POV dispute. Please drop by and have your say. Sincerely, Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 01:25, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Very interesting...

...your babelfish. I agree with you about everything but beliving in God. See it:Utente:Checco. But tell me one thing... a person like you, in Sweden... what Swedih party do you find closer to your (and my) political ideas? --Checco 21:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I would probably say that the Liberal (People's) Party is the closest to my views, even if they have started to get a bit too social liberal lately. The Centre Party (the old agrarian party) is also getting more and more liberal which is interesting, even if they still have some anti-liberal views such as support for the EU Common Agricultural Policy and other things. /Slarre 21:41, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Is Sweden a terrible place for a libertarian like you? Obviously I'm joking... --Checco 22:19, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Sweden is just fine :) /Slarre 22:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
See you... next time answer me in my user talk, thak you. Very pleased of having met you. --Checco 22:51, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userboxes

I worked a little bit with my userpage, userboxes and categories. If you want you can check to see if it is all right. My idea was that all these userboxes make the user automatically member of the related category. I also used and changed two userboxes taken from your userpage (see User:Checco/Userboxes/USA and User:Checco/Userboxes/Israel). I hope you won't be annoyed about it. Sorry also for my bad English. --Checco 12:22, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hehe, of course not! I'll add those templates to my page too. /Slarre 23:43, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TGGWS

Weasel / biased. I agree. But which *way* do you think its biased? William M. Connolley 23:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

The intro is clearly biased against the film, describing it in a pejorative way with words like "controversial" etc. The intro mentions that it argues against "prominent scientific" (however, there are many other prominent scientists who agree that there is not enough evidence of man-made global warming). The intro also states that the film "has been criticised", however it does not mention by WHOM (weasel words). If so much criticism should be mentioned in the intro, then it should also be mentioned that the film also has been received prais by others. Putting only negative criticism in the intro goes against WP:NPOV. /Slarre 23:35, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh OK, yes there are plenty who think like that. Personally I think the intro is biased in favour of the film, which should be described as propaganda. I only asked because it was impossible to tell from the tag you added which way you were thinking - did you somehow assume no-one could think it biased in favour? William M.

[edit] Template:Politics of Sweden

Sigh... I'd suggest that make a vectorized version of the official version of the Swedish CoA, instead of revering my edits. I don't agree that the "version" of CoA, which you are promoting is official. Just because it's not against the legal recommendation, it's not official. Camptown 17:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

It's the official version. The version that you're preposing is over 100 years old and not used anymore. /Slarre 17:31, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
Yet the only official in the public domain. If you disagree, you should create an EXACT copy of what is used right now, and no home made crap. Camptown 17:42, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
