Happy New Year!Happy new year and looking forward the flourishment of the wikiproject numismatics articles! - Timur lenk 10:47, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
非洲货币中央银行 ListHi, I started a list of African central banks at my zh user page in case you are interested. It is also accessible from User:McTrixie interwiki. Feel free to edit it. Be bold. It will probably be a zh article within a week.....on a related note, are you productive in numismatics on zh? My Chinese language introduction to the list will be of stub quality. --McTrixie/Mr Accountable 00:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC) Kyrgyz SomSure, I'll transfer the images there, along with the Kyrgyz PD template. Cheers. Óðinn 06:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
Move of Banknotes of SwitzerlandHi, as you have probably seen, I have reverted your move of Banknotes of Switzerland to Paper money of the Swiss franc. Firstly, I think such move should be mentioned on the article's talk page beforehand (at least to mention that a discussion is going on somewhere else); secondly, Wikipedia:WikiProject Numismatics/Style#Articles and categories about a country.27s coins and banknotes recommends the present title at the moment. Last but not least, the main article on the topic in Wikipedia is Banknote, and Paper money is a redirection to it —— it is probably good to be consistent.

My userpageOh, been meaning to ask you, can you look at my user page and see if you can find why my barnstars arn't lining up horizontally. They used to. I tried reverting why back, but didn't work. ?? Joe I 02:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Clearsee Wikipedia:Useful styles. The "clear" style guarantees a previous image or floated table/infobox can't shove the template to the side. It's practically standard for infoboxes, but many creators of 'boxes don't actually know about this property, and so don't use. I spent a lot of time adding it to templates. Circeus 14:25, 11 January 2007 (UTC) Canadian NumismaticsHello ChoChoPK. Your suggestion is very good. Regrettably, I am not sure how to do this. I am very new to Wikipedia and my computer expertise is very limited. If you could tell me how to do this, I will gladly do this. I feel that your suggestion would lead to better efficiency. Maple Leaf 01:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC) AwardHuh huh =) thank you! I only wish that I can finish all the clean up so that I can move on to truly adding more content. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:37, 12 January 2007 (UTC) Controlling huh?I spent quite a bit of time creating the image header for the article on the Spanish peso, only to have you to delete it within 24 hours under the guise that is was "unencyclopedic" -- whatever that means. So what was so terrible about it? And when do such unilateral decisions on your part become vandalism? Maybe the best solution is to go through your contributions and give you some of your own medicine. Coinman62 03:08, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Your position would be solid if you could cite to a Wikipedia rule which states that "an image with all plain text should be truly just text," as I can find nothing in Wikipedia's policies which state that. I also beg to differ that "editing mercilessly" is the same thing as deletion. Again, fair warning, I have already been going through your contributions and find that some of your images (direct scans of currency) might violate the laws of some jurisdictions. So just fair warning, what goes around comes around. Coinman62 20:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Chochopk: I have responded to your most recent entry on the deletions page. Coinman62 14:25, 22 January 2007 (UTC) Colon sign correctionI like your meticulousness! Too bad the colon sign doesn't show on many computers. You do know that the cent sign is often used as a substitute. DBlomgren 13:06, 17 January 2007 (UTC) Currency unit stubsI think it is brilliant idea to separate the currency units from the rest of the stub articles. It appears that you're going through this alphabetically. I just have one question. There are some at Category:Currency unit stubs in the A's and B's. Did you miss them? or you have something else in mind? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:43, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Tzdiff-EuropeThose two maps you made are fantastic. I've always had the idea of doing something like this, but real life has prevented me from doing so. I fully support adding them to real articles without any reservation. Btw, have you thought about making a similar map for the world? --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 16:20, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hidden text in WikipediaOkay, Chochopk, I will take you up on your offer to help. Is there a code that editors can use to place hidden text on the edit page -- for the purpose of notifying other editors why I did something -- but which will remain hidden from view on the article page? I thought there is such a code, but I cannot find it in Wikipedia help. Thanks,Coinman62 14:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC) Changes to "peso" article and "Spanish dollar" articleThanks, Chochopk, for your advice on the hidden text. It worked great. A friend of mine is one of the most respected numismatists in the entire world, and I consulted with him today about the "peso" article and the "Spanish dollar." He offered quite a bit of assistance and suggested some resources. So I made some clarifications on those two pages, based upon his advice and what the published resources said. You might take a look at the changes and see if they are consistent with your knowledge of the two subjects. Coinman62 20:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: Time-relative USDI agree with the move of that content that you described. If you go to that site, it is a calculator where you can enter 1980 and 1.00, then enter a target equivalent year. The resulting web page will show the amount of money you needed in that year to have 1.00 of buying power (in the US) in 1980. You could do any two dates, not just 1980 and another year, but 1980 is traditionally used for comparisons of US Dollar worth, in my experience.Jerry lavoie 23:29, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
Fair use images aren't allowed in user pagesYou will need to remove the image fair use image Image:Taichung City flag.gif from your user page. Rule #9 of the fair use rules doesn't allow them in the user namespace. BTW: Your currency images are in the gray area. You might want to ask what to do about them at the policy portion of the Village Pump. Please let me know what they tell you or send me a link to the section that you ask in.

Sorry about that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mauri.carrasco (talk • contribs) 01:55, 2 February 2007 --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 05:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Question regarding coin captionsHi Chochopk. You surely must be a very nice person to have tolerated me and my questions. I have another one. On the page of Louis XIV of France [1], someone keeps changing my Latin transcription of the coin from italics to regular text. The Wikipedia:Manual of Style (text formatting) states, “Wikipedia prefers italics for phrases in other languages and for isolated foreign words that do not yet have common use in the English language.” [2]. So originally, I italicized the Latin. (I should add that this is also a standard rule in English grammar.) Even though I quoted the WP Manual using hidden text, some Wikipedia editors (the most recent was "Wetman") have reverted the edit and changed it to smaller case, and he said that it was not a proper use of the Wikipedia rule because the coin was not itself italicized. (The explanation seemed unreasonable to me because you would hardly ever find a foreign language italicized in the original.) So I was wondering whether I was correct or am I wrong? If I am correct, what do you suggest? Is there someone in Wikipedia authority (such as an administrator) who can decide the issue? Perhaps this might explain some of my frustrations from a couple of weeks ago. Coinman62 14:19, 2 February 2007 (UTC) Images of Australian banknotesHi, Thanks you for providing clearer images. Can I ask you to identify the replaced image, and add
{{subst:ncd|Image:Filename.png}}
to the old image page, where "Image:Filename.png" is the new name. This way, the admin can delete the old image and reduce clutter on Wikipedia. Thank you. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 23:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
ThanksChochopk, well, you really are a very nice person and quite an accomplished editor. The coin box and caption that you created are beautiful. A few days ago, you provided me with the code to create this style of box, but I had not realized that the separator will probably discourage some unnecessary edits. I submitted the edit containing your suggestion on the Louis XIV article. Many, many thanks. I am now feeling quite guilty for having thrown such a fit, but hopefully, you also now understand why I had become so frustrated. :-( Coinman62 02:35, 3 February 2007 (UTC) Half dollar v.s. 50 cent coinHi, I notice 158.125.9.4 moved Half dollar to 50 cent coin. I'm wondering if it was you. IMHO, I think the old version is better. The reason is that not necessarily all the 50 cent are half dollar. Half euro is 50 cents. And and not all the half dollar is a coin. 50 Zimbabwean cents is a note. There exits a 50 cents article. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 22:22, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Jagex on RSYou asked why I deleted the Jagex link from the RS page. Disambiguation pages are navigation aids, and the only links on that page should be ones directly related to the letters "RS". The WP:MOSDAB gives some guidelines, the most applicable being that we try to link one link per line, and place it on the left. In this case, there's no need to link Jagex because we already link RuneScape, which is the link that is directly related to "RS". If you have more questions about why I made that edit, shoot. Have a good weekend! - grubber 05:45, 4 February 2007 (UTC) Hungarian moneyHey ChoChopk. Infos on korona and pengo Hungarian Korona (1st part)
Treaty of Sain-Germaine, part IX, Article 2061. Within two months of the coming into force of the present Treaty, each one of the States to which territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy is transferred, and each one of the States arising from the dismemberment of that Monarchy, including Austria and the present Hungary, shall, if it has not already done so, stamp with the stamp of its own Government the currency notes of the Austro-Hungarian Bank existing in its territory. 2. Within twelve months of the coming into force of the present Treaty, each one of the States to which territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy is transferred, and each one of the States arising from the dismemberment of that Monarchy, including Austria and the present Hungary, shall replace, as it may think fit, the stamped notes referred to above by its own or a new currency. 3. The Governments of such States as have already converted the currency notes of the Austro-Hungarian Bank by stamping or by the issue of their own or a new currency, and in carrying out this operation have withdrawn, without stamping them, a portion or all of the currency notes circulating in their territory, shall either stamp the notes so withdrawn or hold them at the disposal of the Reparation Commission. 4. Within fourteen months of the coming into force of the present Treaty, those Governments which have replaced notes of the bank by their own or new currency, in accordance with the provisions of this Article, shall transfer to the Reparation Commission all the notes, stamped or unstamped, of the bank which have been withdrawn in the course of this replacement. 5. All notes transferred to the Reparation Commission under the provisions of this Article shall be dealt with by that Commission in accordance with the provisions of the Annex hereto. 6. The Austro-Hungarian Bank shall be liquidated as from the day succeeding the day of the signature of this Treaty. 7. The liquidation shall be conducted by receivers specially appointed for that purpose by the Reparation Commission. In conducting the liquidation of the bank, the receivers shall follow the rules laid down in the Statutes or other valid instruments regulating the constitution of the bank, subject, however, to the special provisions of this Article. In the case of any doubt arising as to the interpretation of the rules concerning the liquidation of the bank, whether laid down in these Articles and Annexes or in the Statutes of the bank, the decision of the Reparation Commission or any arbitrator appointed by it for that purpose shall be final. 8. The currency notes issued by the bank subsequent to 27 October 1918 shall have a claim on the securities issued by the Austrian and Hungarian Governments, both former and existing, and deposited with the bank by those Governments as security for these notes, but they shall not have a claim on any other assets of the bank. 9. The currency notes issued by the bank on or prior to 27 October 1918, in so far as they are entitled to rank at all in conformity with this Article, shall all rank equally as claims against all the assets of the bank, other than the Austrian and Hungarian Government securities deposited as security for the various note issues. 10. The securities deposited by the Austrian and Hungarian Governments, both former and existing, with the bank as security for the currency notes issued on or prior to 27 October 1918, shall be cancelled in so far as they represent the notes converted in the territory of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy as it existed on 28 July 1914 by States to which territory of that Monarchy is transferred or by States arising from the dismemberment of that Monarchy, including Austria and the present Hungary. 11. The remainder of the securities deposited by the Austrian and Hungarian Governments, both former and existing, with the bank as security for the currency notes issued on or prior to 27 October 1918 shall be retained in force as security for, and in so far as they represent, the notes issued on or prior to 27 October 1918, which on 15 June 1919 were outside the limits of the former Austro-Hungarian Monarchy as it existed on 28 July 1914, that is to say, firstly, all notes of this description which are presented to the Reparation Commission in accordance with paragraph 4 of this Article, and secondly all notes of this description which may be held elsewhere and are presented to the receivers of the bank in accordance with the Annex hereto. 12. No claims on account of any other currency notes issued on or prior to 27 October 1918 shall rank either against the general assets of the bank or against the securities deposited by the Austrian and Hungarian Governments, both former and existing, as security for the notes, and any balance of such securities remaining after the amount of securities mentioned in paragraphs 10 and 11 has been calculated and deducted shall be cancelled. 13. All securities deposited by the Austrian and Hungarian Governments, both former and existing, with the bank as security for currency note issues and which are maintained in force shall be the obligations respectively of the Governments of Austria and the present Hungary only and not of any other States. 14. The holders of currency notes of the Austro-Hungarian Bank shall have no recourse against the Governments of Austria or the present Hungary or any other Government in respect of any loss which they may suffer as the result of the liquidation of the bank. Hungarian korona (2nd part)
Hungarian pengő
Hungarian forint
NotesAlthough the periods of the circulation of korona, pengő and forint overlap, the introduction and withdrawal is clearly enacted. So I suggest that korona was the currency of Hungary until 1926. dec. 31., pengő was the official currency between 1927. jan. 1. and 1946. julyí 31.; adópengő was a currency between 1946. jan. 1. and 1946. july 1. (however circulated only after the tax bills were issued); forint is the currency since 1946. aug. 1. The beginning date of the Hungarian korona is tricky. In the treaty, 1918. oct 27. is mentioned as a special day, but it is also true, that there were banknotes issued after this date which circulation was not restricted to the - still varying - territory of Hungary. The first such notes were the white moneis, which were printed in Budapest, however some of the successor and occupying states overstamped these as well, so recognized these as a legal currency on their territory. So at least the year is sure: it was 1919, when a Hungarian korona was separated from the common money, but it was rather a (chaotic) process than a well organized "step" in the Hungarian money history. Hope this helps. I am not here nowadays, have to work a lot. And when I have time, I rather translate articles for the Hungarian wiki. Any further question is welcome, just let me take my time to answer :-) Timur lenk 10:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC) NumismaticsHi there.

{{Euro topics}}Forgive me, but this template is awful. It is far too big, and with far too many topics to be a proper navigational aid. The only relevant section of it to the title is the first, the general topics related to the Euro and Eurozone. There should be seperate navigational templates for the coins (which there was before people took it upon themselves to alter), and for the various other currencies. I for one object to the article about the pound sterling (not the "British Pound" as it is incorrectly labelled) being classed as a "Euro related topic". Hammersfan 15/02/07, 18.10 GMT
List of central banksAs an editor who has been so keen to improve the list, guess you'd perhaps be interested to take a look at user:Huaiwei's recent edits. :-) He insisted the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Monetary Authority of Macao to be listed under the People's Bank of China, and insisted to spell Macao in Monetary Authority of Macao different from its official name as according to the official website. — Instantnood 18:01, 17 February 2007 (UTC) Canadian currencyHi Chochopk. Thank you for the information regarding sources. With regards to the Canadian currency edits, I will check on it later this week and I will advise you as to whether the edits were accurate or not. Have a good day. Maple Leaf 16:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC) Two dollars billI noticed you've used as an example of omitting the plural from the names of coins and banknotes "2 dollar bill". I agree that one hears this but I'm not convined it has any foundation in correct English, British or American. The Concise OED does not list dollar as having an irregular plural. In particular, I'm uncomfortable about applying this notion to examples such as eyrir/aurar without a good linguistic foundation. I know it's a bit pedantic but I have been thinking about this as I've been writing and I reckon we ought to decide what's right before we write too many more articles.
Canadian currency follow-upHi Chochopk. I verified Canadian dollar and the facts about the penny in the coinage section were fairly accurate. I was able to locate source material to justify the comments. With regards to Canadian coinage, the claims about the fifty-cent coin in the Urban Legends section seems a little far fetched. Certain parts of the section have now been sourced appropriately while others are going to require citations. Maple Leaf 21:45, 20 February 2007 (UTC) Irish poundThanks for breaking the deadlock over this page. There's more to go in but perhaps you could suggest where to put information about the Irish banknotes issued between 1826 and 1928 denominated in sterling? I'd be happy to put them in this article but any other suggestions would be welcome.
MultipostingCheck out WP:MULTI -- multiposting, as you did here, isn't ideal. A great place to propose such a change to copyright templates would be on WP:VPR, since all of those posts on TFD will cause people to have to respond to you individually each time, or just post identical replies to your identical concerns, which is a waste of time. I would request that you remove identical postings, or merely refer people to a discussion that you might start on WP:VPR. Thanks so much! GracenotesT § 02:27, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Belarusian currencyI checked with the national laws to make sure that currency was included in the copyright free zone. Yes, the currency is free of copyright. However, as one of the main editors on Belarusian topics, I really think the images serve a better purpose on the Commons and better to use a Commons category instead of one on English Wikipedia. Another thing, if the image exists at the Commons, I would really suggest not putting the copyright tag on the en.wikipedia display of the image. That will make it seem like the image is here, instead of the Commons. Thanks for your attention to this matter. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 05:35, 27 February 2007 (UTC) Suggestions to the denomination lineup of the United States dollar10-25-50 seems as useful to me as 10-20-50, I don't see how one is better than the other. They both involve a step of 1:2 and a step of 1:2½. Though, admittedly, it is a peculiar historical vestige that we have 25 in coins, but 2 and 20 in bills. (Though there was once a $2½ gold coin) Inflation is inevitable. Eventually, 10¢ will become the smallest unit of account. That will leave 25¢ in an awkward position. While that is a point, a similar problem arises with 10-20-50. Supposing that the half-dollar becomes more widely used, we'd have .01-.05.-.10-.25-.50 then .05-.10-.25-.50, then .25-.50, then .50. Under a 10-20-50 system, we'd have .01-.05.-.10-.20-.50; .05-.10-.20-.50; .10-.20-.50; .50 In both cases, a point arises where two coins have to dropped at the same time, and the value of the smallest coin jumps fivefold. The nickle and dime in a system like the present one, or the dime and "fifth" in yours. Replacing the quarter with a fifth would be an awkward transitional period, with two coins of such very similar value. By the way, do you know that the presidential $1 coin is the first coin to have Arabic numeral? Incorrect, actually. A number of early US coins had numerals on them. For example, early 19th century dimes had "10 c." written on them. I'd also suggest polymer instead of paper for banknotes. And perhaps a $200 or even $500 bill. Nik42 07:44, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

THANX!!!!!! :D BEATLES RULE!!! go fonz! 00:08, 22 March 2007 (UTC) Philippine peso/pisoHi, you've been moving articles like Philippine peso to Philippine piso, etc. You cited Wikipedia:WikiProject_Numismatics/Style as the reason for moving, but at that page I found "If the currency is listed at ISO 4217, use the name given there". At ISO 4217, the currency is listed as Philippine Peso. So, why move it to piso? I'm from the Philippines... "peso" is the English term, "piso" is the Filipino term (both English and Filipino and official languages). Hope we can clear things up, thanks. TheCoffee 04:37, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
So... we can move Philippine piso -> Philippine peso? It just feels much more natural to me. TheCoffee 10:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Currencies related to the euroHi, could you rethink your judgement about "strengthening" of the Hungarian forint and Slovak koruna? Hungarian forint and Slovak koruna have been "weakening" because the same amount of these 2 currencies is now worth LESS euro. 252.9 Ft/€ -> 282 Ft/€ means LESS euro/Ft...

WatchlistBotFirst, it tags categories (starting at Category:Numismatics, it goes through the hierarchy, and I say yes/no) -- this is where I messed up when I first started, since Numismatics was the first project I tagged, and I ended up tagging extra categories. Plus, the exonumia distinction makes things a bit more complicated. Most other projects I've tagged have gone much more smoothly. Then, it tags all articles in tagged categories, without me having to confirm. So, once the categories are right, I can re-run it to tag all new articles very easily. I can give you more detail if you want, or you can see the source (I think you mentioned once that you're a programmer?)

Cast Chinese CoinsSo how do I put the Preface/Introduction/Foreword pre-amble after the Contents like in every other normal book or article? DavidDavidhartill 07:31, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
I now realise that the arrangements for writing in Wikipedia are not normal, so I will not waste any more time on formatting, and get on with the article. Thanks, David coinsSeems you know a lot about coins, since you identified my uploaded image of 50 schilling as not bimetallic.. whatever that means.. i just got the coin and have no idea what it was made of or why it was made.. I have access to several other variations of the 50 schilling coin which i can make pictures of if you wish. Also, your to-do list has this: "Original 12 + Slovenia * Upload the images of national sides to Commons. Raise ncd on the png copies on en." Does this mean, you need pictures of coins or bank notes from Slovenia? i may be able to provide them to you, assemble a list of which you need and message me. Jernejl 11:00, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, my error about 50 schilling, i've pictured and uploaded another variant of 50 schilling here, can you add it to the schilling article? the new template you added where you moved the picture is totally weird and i have no idea how to add a row of two cells to it..: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:50schilling_2.jpg I'm from Slovenia, so i still got many coins and some bank notes of the Tolar, and a good cameraphone, so the quality of pictures is pretty good.

Rubber Export Coupons from the states of Malaysia and SingaporeThese strongly resemble banknotes in terms of their design, so articles should be created under these titles;

Potential help with a tricky link template?Hi Chochopk, I was wondering if I could ask your advice/help with an external link template. Do you have any idea on a possible workaround? I find this a bit tricky... but maybe you could help with your experience. Thank you... Also OK if you can't do it or don't have time, that's OK. I used to live in Seattle as well, went to UW in the 1990s. Hope you enjoy it there!
Sorry I couldn't get back to you in time. I've been very busy lately. It did solve your problem. There are other work-arounds, but yours is the simplest. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 18:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Thank you! ...curious what these are, but it works now I guess. --Carboxen 03:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC) Currency navbox adoptionHey Chochopk, could you help me to implement the wonderful currency navboxes to the Hungarian wikipedia? I tried something, but it can be seen on the result that I am not an expert... The templates use many other templates which again use many other... Thanx in advance, Timur lenk 09:54, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I've been busy lately. I don't see any big problem with the continental boxes. But I would convert Sablon:Magyarpénznem to a horizontal format. There are some site-wide improvement that can be made regarding a generic nav box. But that will involve an admin for java script improvement. That being said, I will probably continue being busy in the near future. What specific functionality would you live to see improved on the continental nav boxes? Or do you want improvement on other nav boxes? I'll try to find some time if I can. --ChoChoPK (球球PK) (talk | contrib) 18:54, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Thank you for that.Chopchopk, thank you for that tip about moving a page. - (British Commonwealth Numismatics 07:58, 27 March 2007 (UTC)) I had a look at that page Help:Moving a page, but it wasn't any help, as it mentions about the 'move' tab at the top of the page, which is actually not present. I think someone needs to update that page as well. - (British Commonwealth Numismatics 08:07, 27 March 2007 (UTC)) Operating system & Windows.Chopchopk,I am using Internet Explorer 7 and Windows 2000 XP on my computer. - (British Commonwealth Numismatics 08:12, 27 March 2007 (UTC)) |
