[edit] suggestion for coilgun pic

-second frame: the first coil turns on and the bullet moves

-third frame: the second coil turns on and the bullet moves farther

etc.

thanks for listning to my comment

Ilikefood 00:12, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, I did that now. See Image:Coilgun animation.gif. What do you think? --ZeroOne (talk | @) 22:47, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

It looks really good! Ilikefood 21:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. :) --ZeroOne (talk | @) 21:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy delete on two images

I saw your proposed speedy delete on the two images I was working on. Can you simply upload a new version of the file (over the old one)?

My intention was to have x1, x2, ... x9 to be numbered squares, in order to show things like corresponding squares. Are you preparing replacement files? Bubba73 (talk), 01:19, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I already replaced them — see images with the same names in Commons. --ZeroOne 01:26, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Barnstar

		The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar
		For soing some work for me concerning the chess template. Bubba73 (talk), 03:30, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Notice

An article that you have been involved in editing, Seven day roguelike, has been listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Seven day roguelike. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Lankybugger 19:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Zero Hour - Generals Challenge.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Zero Hour - Generals Challenge.jpg. 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. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Bruno

I apologize, I ended up putting it in the wrong place; the warehouses were designed by him. Kiasma was designed by Holl (probably everyone knows that, it was advertised so much :D) I guess I should have gone to sleep yesterday a lot earlier than I did :) -Yupik 08:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Haha, no problem. :) I figured something like that happened. Luckily I spotted it quickly. I ended up translating the Bruno-article from Finnish Wikipedia, too. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 12:14, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Jehp! :D And thanks for translating the Granholm article; now there's one less red link in the Haapamäki railway station article! -Yupik 12:16, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finnish translations

Hello! As you have done some of the Finnish translations, I just thought I'd let you know I'm trying to gather them all in one place at (Wikipedia:Translation/*/Lang/fi) to make them easier to add, find and take care of. Thank you for your contributions! -Yupik 20:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Straw poll on free software categorization of POV-Ray

Since you previously changed the categorization of POV-Ray, can you please comment int Talk:POV-Ray#Free_software_categorization_straw_poll Karnesky 22:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Done... Seriously though, it's not that big a deal, how to categorize an article! --ZeroOne (talk | @) 23:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for commenting. I think you possibly misunderstood the choices & I clarified them. I agree it probably isn't a big deal, but can sympathize with those who want precision and accuracy in categories and in the categorization of articles ;-) --Karnesky 23:30, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair-use image removed from your user page

Hello, ZeroOne. I've removed Image:Gobblet.jpg from your user page, as it is a copyrighted, unlicensed image that is being used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. Unfortunately, by Wikipedia policies, no fair-use images can be used on user pages; please see the ninth item of the Wikipedia fair-use policy and Wikipedia:Removal of fair use images. This image has not been deleted from any articles. If you have any questions, please let me know. —Bkell (talk) 05:51, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:User php

Why did you move these templates into userspace? Was there a TfD on them recently, or did you just take it upon yourself to move them? Mike Dillon 03:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I just took it upon myself to move them. Read more at Wikipedia:Userbox migration. They've really got nothing to do with Wikipedia so userboxes have slowly been moved from the template namespace to user namespace. There are automatic bots that fix your broken userboxes afterwards in a short notice. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 11:50, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

That's not true. MediaWiki is written in PHP and being able to find active contributors who can understand the MediaWiki software is helpful in figuring out whether something is a software bug or something that can be fixed on-wiki. Similarly, SQL, HTML, JavaScript, and CSS are also relevant. Mike Dillon 15:06, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Then why are there userboxes like {{User sql-0}} and {{User js-0}}? They certainly won't help you find active contributors who can understand the MediaWiki software. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 16:23, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I think the zero templates were made for consistency with the language templates. I agree that the level-zero templates aren't very useful for any of the cases they're used in, but I don't think it's a big deal. The categories associated with all level-0 templates except for Template:User en-0 were recently deleted at WP:UCFD. Mike Dillon 18:46, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Programming-related userboxes are actually listed at Wikipedia:Userboxes/Programming, not Wikipedia:Userboxes/Wikipedia, so I think they count into the merging process. At least a couple of other boxes besides PHP have already been migrated into someone's user namespace. --ZeroOne (talk | @) 19:47, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
