[edit] Image upload broken?

In the last couple of days, I've tried repeatedly to upload (to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Upload) a couple of plain-vanilla JPEG images. No joy on either -- the current one returns a message that '.' is not an accepted image format. Yes, it says '.' Help?

In case anyone wants to try to duplicate this, try uploading this image (fair use of a book cover): http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/images/n28/n143506.jpg Title it "Telzey & Crest Cats", in case it works... <g> Pete Tillman 20:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

  • Macs tend to leave off file extensions which cause the system to think it doesn't have one. Another potential problem could be not the name of the file you upload, but the destination name. Try uploading without the ampersand in the name. - Mgm|(talk) 13:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
  • Why call it "Telzey & Crest Cats"? That's not what it says on the cover. - Mgm|(talk) 19:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Because that's what it is? Very nice art, by Bob Eggleton. Pete Tillman 21:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! Done: Telzey Amberdon. Now, if I could just figure out why it won't work for me.... Pete Tillman 21:04, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cory Doctorow

  • I saw your addition of the quote to this article. Are you aware of WikiQuote? - Mgm|(talk) 19:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A Song of Stone

Good work but I don't think we can use newsgroups as external links ([1]) --Guinnog 03:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Arizona Wilderness Areas

What a nice clean up of List of Arizona Wilderness Areas. (It wasn't easy putting some of the Arizona articles together). plus i've done some stuff in the Lower Colorado River Valley. Too bad I don't have weeks and months to actually Explore, and Climb, and Bird Watch, And Golf Course up and down the Lower Colorado River Valley ! (and all the money required). I just looked at the Pinaleno Mountains page. Wow, what a job done on that page. Michael in theSonoranDesert at Yuma(LCRV)(I went to the UofA in Tucson).. -Mmcannis 12:50, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Second topic(after looking at your page). I just created: Category:Historical people of U.S. natural history, and only attempted to put people there in one Effort. I added one person since, and it was related to Agassiz, Lake Agassiz, but the geologist Dana, came up whose book I always kept close by: the 17, 18, or 19 edition. You know of what I speak, and why I found his name in the 1800's. Any geology, or other types that are historical enuff, even in the past 30 years to go into this category? I put the Alvarez's in it because of the K-T layer. talk-to-you-later... --Mmcannis 13:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick second note. You sent a message to my User: Page: "User:Mmcannis". The message should have been sent to: User_talk: (the Discussion Page). --Mmcannis 23:05, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move request

Hi. I noticed you posted a move request at WP:RM, regarding Village of Oak Creek, Arizona. Unfortunately, due to a bad link on the requests page, your request was actually posted to an invisible sub-page. I've gone ahead and completed the move, since it seems to be an uncontroversial one, simply making the article consistent with other US cities.

I'm letting you know, because I deleted the subpage on which your request was posted, so that edit is now gone from your contribution history, which might seem strange if you were to look for it there. Cheers. -GTBacchus(talk) 03:45, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tucson

Hi, I'm sorry that I didn't reply to you sooner -- it's just one of those things that gets overlooked for a moment, then gets completely forgotten about! I'm sorry you moved out of Tucson before I knew you were here. Hope you're doing well elsewhere. Right now it's been COLD for the last month or so! A couple of real freezes, although not much snow in the mountains.... Best for the New Year! Hayford Peirce 18:09, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] L.C. Graton

Hello - I don't know the date, but Graton died in 1970. Cheers Geologyguy 01:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Pete Tillman 03:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Howel Williams

Glad to be of service :-) Good to meet another wiki geologist, and one who rubbed shoulders with one of the classics. I never met Williams, but sure became well aquainted with his Petrography text back about 1970 - still have my old copy. Cheers, Vsmith 03:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tony Barringer

I don't have anything on his personal life, let alone his genealogy. It's weird how no one seems to ask scientists about their personal lives, while we have more information than we would ever want on Movie Stars. BTW, I have made a project of making articles for everyone that has won a [[Logan Medal]. That's why I've added several famous geologists to your list. Clerks 20:02, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
