[edit] Robert Shakespeare

When you make a redirect you need to check and see where it's going. In this case it went to Robbie Shakespeare which is also a redirect. That makes a double redirect and they don't work. So you need to create the redirect to point to Sly and Robbie. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 11:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Birthdate?

I'm assuming you mean my birthdate when you say "birth". I like to keep my user page short and relevant to Wikipedia, it's about my contributions, not me. I'm also a little bit worried about crazy people who like to stalk administrators :) -Obli (Talk)? 22:16, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] birth

why not add your birth date to your userpage? --Ysangkok 08:41, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

I'd rather not, as I do already reveal a large amount of personal information on my userpage, and want to avoid setting myself up for identity theft. -- Zanimum 17:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] NowCommons

Just notifying you that the Image:Antonow An-2 COLT.png that you have marked with {{nowcommons}} didn't exist on Wikipedia. In fact, you have created its description page. This is not what the template is for. Also, {{NowCommonsThis}} should be used when the names are the same. Conscious 10:40, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orbit graph

copy of the same message from commons)

Hi, thank you for redrawing one of my graphs! Could you tell me how you did it? Have you used the original file or have you re-created it from scratch? My orbit svg are (a poor) by-product of my program and I never got around to improve the svg generated. Given the number of existing (and to be) graphs I would like, with your permission, to include this transformation in future graphs if feasible. Eurocommuter 17:40, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. Well, it is an excellent hand-work!
If you’re interested, I explained partly the reasons why it is such a bad svg (1 pixel line for orbits) on my page on commons in answer to another puzzled editor. I will try Bezier or direct elliptical best-fit approximation but by writing a transformer. There’s also Batik from (a Java2D->SVG generator) I haven’t tried but I’m afraid the results will also as bad given the complexity of the 3D orbit, the complexity people do not realise immediately (spheres partly hiding or being hidden by the orbits for example).
I believe that resulting SVG should be transformed by collapsing multiple <line> elements into elliptic arcs, programmatically, using approximation. To a large extend it is a wasted effort anyway, as currently wikipedia transforms svg->png (so the user will not see the scaling benefits of svg) not to mention their limited svg implementation: no links, no animation, no colour gradient on arbitrary paths,…).
Thanks and see you around Eurocommuter 22:21, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Sas flight 751 crash.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sas flight 751 crash.jpg. The image description 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.

[edit] Picture Needed SVG

I noticed you made the SVG for Diagram Needed. Please see... Image talk:PictureNeeded.gif. --Anthony5429 05:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - I see you fixed a header in my discussion page. Yep - I went ahead and made the new SVG. I used yours as a model! 87'// 1'//. 4 |=3||0'// |337 --Anthony5429 20:24, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :) Glad you like it! -- Renesis (talk) 22:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your question at Template talk:UserWUSTL

I responded on the talk page. If you have any suggestions, they are appreciated. Kindly, Lmbstl 02:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the short tutorial! I have made the changes you suggested. --Lmbstl 09:03, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Fvwm_family.png

You tagged this image for deleteion, even though i've labeled it as GFDL. You also added welcome text to my talk page, even though i've been registered over a year longer than you, I assume this is because you are using some sort of bot, so I'm just letting you know that this was a mistake, in case you want to correct your scripts. Thanks! -- taviso 22:27, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

GFDL-Self tag has only existed since 2005, the image you're complaining that I tagged incorrectly was uploaded in 2004, so reading your welcome message wouldnt have helped much. I'm not sure why you're being so rude about it, but whatever, i've changed it. -- taviso 21:50, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Gentoo on ps3.jpg...

I'm not the uploader, but it puzzles me why you added the "no source" tag when there's a license on it ("cc-by"). And while I can't guarantee the fact that Whitesanjuro created it, it looks pretty likely. — CJewell (talk to me) 12:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello - I was just browsing my user page and noticed that User:Ysangkok gave me a copypasta welcome and notification of deleting my image. When I uploaded the image, I'm almost certain I freed it into the public domain, as it was a picture that I took and uploaded myself (e.g. I own the copyright). The only difference between the image that was deleted and the source image is that I cropped the version I uploaded. I think it would be nice to have a non-YDL image back in the PS3 Linux article, since that picture is just a splash screen and doesn't even lead one to believe that the display showing it is connected to a PS3. I don't have the authority to un-delete the image, so I am requesting that whoever deleted it restore it if possible or allow me re-upload it. Please advise Whitesanjuro 01:36, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SmackBot and puctuation

Yes, it moves superscripted refs to after the punctuation. This article used them in a different way, as if they were in line text, which didn't work. Fixed up now I believe. Rich Farmbrough, 23:35 24 March 2007 (GMT).
