[edit] TI-89T Graph Info

Can you please give me details on the graph displayed on the caluclator in the image Image:Img003-1.png? Thanks. --Randy 02:51, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Hey. As you can see, I work out of a public IP most of the time, so I was blocked from putting up this response on your talk page. The graph is fairly simple; the details follow.

CONTOUR GRAPH OF 3D FUNCTION: $Z 2 = X 2 - Y 2$

VIEW ANGLE (in degrees): THETA [θ] = -90, PHI [Φ] = 0, PSI [ψ] = 0 (essentially, overhead [technically underside] view)

XMIN = -15, XMAX = 15, XGRID = 14

YMIN = -15, YMAX = 15, YGRID = 14

ZMIN = -15, ZMAX = 15

NCONTOUR (steps for contour plots) = 2

No grid lines or axes are shown, no labels, nothing.

If you are looking for other interesting graphs, I have a few polar graphs that look like buzzsaws and flowers (the objects are so different, but the equations are so similar). --Chromium 16:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Img003-1.png

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Img003-1.png. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading 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, consider checking 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Image legality questions page. Thank you. —User:ACupOfCoffee @ 08:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Backslashing proxy bans me? Honestly, this one is probably a mistake with my school, which uses a common proxy to route all traffic onto the internet (and filter bad pages), or possibly because I have had to change my browsing proxy settings recently. Whatever it is, I was not aware of a "backslashing proxy", or anything like this. I have to say, whatever the hell happened, I am sorry for it, but I cannot say that this is any reason to block me. Speaking freely, I have to say that the person who blocked me might have been a little overzealous on this occasion. Yes, that was a rebuke. Additionally, I want to say that I have received no talk page notification, which is to my understanding a necessity, freakofnurture.

Your rebuke is out of place, as you claim not to understand the issue I cannot see how you can deem the action to be over the top. We are here to write an encyclopaedia and part of the admin role is to protect the integrity of that. Some misconfigured (and potentially open proxies) mistakenly escape special characters (i.e. add a '\' in front of them). This covers numerous characters like ' or " or \. This has a cumulative effect. So you can see from your first edit here numerous \ have been added. From your second edit here the characters like ' have been escaped again and so have the \ it added in escaping the first lot, so you can see loads of \ everywhere. On your third edit here it's really getting out of hand. Hence the block to prevent you editing from that proxy messing up any and every page you edit. Block messages on talk pages are a courtesy but by no means mandatory, in this case I would say it would have been desirable. Since your edit here doesn't seem to have messed up the page I'll unblock you. --pgk^(talk) 21:20, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. And in return, I apologize. --Chromium

[edit] WikiProject Machinima

Thanks for joining WikiProject Machinima and for your compliments that you left on my talk page. I try to maintain a general interest across machinima, which can be difficult with a lot of productions out there (a lot of good ones as well as a lot of really bad ones). Thanks for getting the ball rolling on This Spartan Life; it's definitely an integral part of modern machinima. — TKD::Talk 00:56, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

No worries. A lot of Wikipedians start off with a single topic and branch out from there. WikiProject Machinima itself was formed after a bunch of us worked on promoting Red vs. Blue to FA status, so that we could apply what we learned in the process to other machinima articles. It's always good to have a broad range of interests represented within the project. — TKD::Talk 01:23, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. Not sure how many reliable sources there are for FTC. Hopefully, enough to sustain an article over the long-term. — TKD::Talk 02:10, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This Spartan Life images

"Non-commercial use only" or Wikipedia-only images are no longer allowed on Wikipedia (and haven't been for about a year and a half); they can be deleted at any time. You'll need to tag them as fair use ({{promotional}} or {{machinima-screenshot}}, as the case may be) and write up a detailed rationale as to why the image meets the fair-use criteria (see [alaso WP:IDP and other images in Category:Screenshots of machinima). — TKD::Talk 22:12, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

I changed the licenses to valid fair-use ones. I just wanted to make sure that you knew of the fair-use rules, because images for non-commercial use can be deleted by any administrator at any time. — TKD::Talk 23:38, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Damian.png)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Damian.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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.

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. — TKD::Talk 02:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] This Spartan Life talk page

I'm not seeing anything that I hadn't addressed on Talk:This Spartan Life. Is there specifically something you wanted my input on? — TKD::Talk 02:04, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

I had replied to that there. I wrote, "I don't think that it's totally verboten. Something trivial like placing screenshots side by side would probably be okay, but a collage probably wouldn't. I'm wondering: There probably is a shot of at least Damian and Fyb3roptik and/or Octobit together somewhere in the episodes, no?" Basically, you 're probably better off not compositing your own image together, if you can at all avoid it. — TKD::Talk 02:32, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

the idea came from Swatjester for the vandalism page. A s t r o B o y 00:24, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Fyb3roptik copy.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Fyb3roptik copy.gif. 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).

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Damianandoctobit.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Damianandoctobit.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Damian-octobit-halo-3-versions.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Damian-octobit-halo-3-versions.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:26, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
