Hello Kaizersoze,
Can you point me to where you got Simpsons images. I want to convert them to PNG format for better quality and smaller size. Thanks. --Berkut 04:19, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Msword.PNG

Hi. This is just to let you know that I've replaced a screenshot of MS Office Word 2003 that you uploaded (Image:Msword.PNG) with a similar one that is instead skinned under the default Windows XP skin. - Mark 03:31, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Photoelasticity

I saw that u made certain changes to the Photoelasticity article. I need some help. I need to complete the article but I need some images for that. Without images its quite tough to explain the fringe pattern and other principles of photoelasticity. I would be grateful if u could add some images(which come under fair use).TIAGaurav1146 18:36, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:North america basement rocks.png

You have your image marked as being a USGS image. Why do you think http://instruct.uwo.ca/earth-sci/300b-001/14strprv.gif is a USGS image? It is on a school web server. (SEWilco 06:42, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC))

Change my Marine Corps image in my userpage? You want me to put your new image instead? Say no more, it is done. Tony the Marine

[edit] Ukrainian portal for WP

Hi, I was noticing you contributing to Ukraine related articles for some time now. I am glad Ukrainian topics get more constructive editors. Recently, I helped Zscout370 a little bit with maintenance of the Russian Wikiportal he recently created. Browsing around I saw once more how little Ukraine is covered in WP compared to other countries and histories. Of course Russia is much bigger and much more in the news but still, the coverage of Ukrainian topics in WP needs to be expanded dramatically. Based on RU portal I created a draft version of Ukrainian portal at my user space. Please check it out at User:Irpen/uawp. Please do whatever you like with sections, layout, content, etc. In a couple of days I would like to have it exposed to the community, by moving it to Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Ukraine and placing it into a couple of major UA articles, like Ukraine, Ukrainian language, etc, similarly to what was done with Russia article. Hopefully, it will bring more exposure and editors to Ukrainian topics. In the meanwhile, please play with it in your free time. Also, I placed a link there to a warning for editors to be a little timid while still being bold in view of recent cases of, probably good willing, bud a little short-tempered novice editors who roamed in Ukrainian language, Ukraine and Kiev articles with changes of terminology that stirred up the hornet's nest. So I would be grateful for your contribution to the portal, if you have time. Thanks! Irpen 18:26, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Hi again, pls take a look at Wikipedia:Wikiportal/Ukraine/Ukraine-related Wikipedia notice board -Irpen 04:01, Jun 17, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Charts on Commons

Hello,

Sorry, but I was in holidays (and sorry for my very bad english).

Yes, I use Excel but for the creation of the png, I copy in Excel and paste in Illustrator. I create png since Illustrator. It is the better soluce I can find.

Bye.--Valérie75 14:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] PSU caps

Ouch, that's the most bad caps I've seen in one psu... I'm used to Deer ones where a couple start to pop, then the power supply melts down and catches fire before any more do.  :) Good photo for the article! Thanks, Bushytails 07:20, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Russia-Ukraine gas dispute

Greetings! I would like to point out that the way you rewrote "my version" of the article Russia-Ukraine gas dispute, well to be blunt you made it look like it's all Ukraine's fault, I think my version is much more neutral. I dont think Gazprom ask more for there gas cause Ukraine wanted to pay a different way. For me the intro as it is now is subtile Gazprom-propaganda (if not Russian propaganda). Since you suported the orange revolution I found your delitions a bit strange... BTW I really liked my holiday in Kiev (last year)! Mariah-Yulia 16:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:USPresSeal.png

Warning sign
This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:USPresSeal.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Spivak and Horshkov

Hi Berkut, there is a common misconception following from the dual citizenship issue. Ukraine, or any country for that matter, cannot effectively "not allow" dual citizenship because no country can prohibit other countries from granting citizenship and, at the same time, the conventions severely restrict cases when the country can involuntarily revoke its citizenship from the person. That person's acceptance of the foreign citizenship is not among the allowed reasons to withdraw the citizenship, be it for Ukraine or the US. What the country can do, and not RECOGNIZING the dual citizenship, like in case of Ukraine means just that, is that the country can refuse to treat its dual citizens as foreign nationals despite their having a foreign citizenship as the second one. That is it does not have to notify the foreign consulate in the case of arrest, it can refuse to recognize the foreign conscription as the valid reason of no-show in the national conscription, etc. The country can also refuse to grant its citizenship to the foreign nationals until their renounce their foreign citizenship. However, this does not make a dual citizenship an impossibility. The Ukrainian citizen accepting the foreign citizenship attains dual citizenship de-facto irrespective of the Ukrainian position of the issue. BTW, USA has a similar stance to Ukraine. Canada's and Israel's position on the dual citizenship is different as they extend the recognition of that to their nationals. This has little to do with "allowing" or not "allowing" and under no circumstances makes the D.C. impossible. --Irpen 08:23, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I found that I was only partially correct (see http://www.opm.gov/extra/investigate/IS-01.pdf). A country may withdraw its citizenship upon voluntarily acquisition of another one. However, this needs to be done (the action is not automatic) and it is rarely done. The basic idea that dual citizenship is possible even with countries that do not recognize it stands. More in the document I linked and a lot more on the web. --Irpen 09:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging for Image:Bx-coat.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Bx-coat.gif. However, the copyright tag you've used is deprecated or obsolete, and should not be used.

[edit] Table for Economy of Uruguay

I have no clue how to make tables, and since you created the table for Economy of Argentina, I thought I'd ask you to make a table for the Economy of Uruguay.

[edit] Thailand_coa.png

Although you were not the original uploader of this file, please be aware that the file name is inaccurate and is probably in violation of licensing terms. Thailand_coa.png is not Thailand's coat of arms. The real Tra Khrut should have sharp wing tips - the wingtips of Thailand_coa.png‎ are blunt. The real Khrut should have 7 external wing-tips per side - there are 9 wingtips in Thailand_coa.png‎. The real Khrut should be wearing wearing what looks like a high belt which connects to its necklace - the one in Thailand_coa.png‎ is only wearing a necklace. The fingertips of the real Khrut should be pointed directly at the apex of its Monthien (hat) at 45 and 225 degree angles - the one in Thailand_coa.png‎ has fingers that are horizontal. The tail design is distinctly different. The source attributed to Thailand_coa.png is a pay site (vector-images.com), and it seems that the bitmap demo image was copied from the site without requesting or receiving a license. This image should be immediately pulled from Wikipedia. Patiwat 18:27, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Berkut, I was about to upload a slightly edited version of Image:National-atlas-oregon.png, but I noticed that you had "optimized" it a few years back.
