Hello. Nice work on the York Minster astronomical clock. It's still there, and as you describe. I've always wondered exactly what all the dials meant! Best wishes. --RobertG ♬ talk 10:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Robert - I need to work on the text a bit, but at least the clock's still there! Cormullion 11:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I assume you have Tor Soernes' book in English, but can you tell me where you obtained it and how much it cost? I would like to order it. Thanks.Schwilgue 15:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

no I haven't sorry - I've only got Geared to the Stars by Henry King... Cormullion 16:11, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I will search in the history who added that reference. King's book is nice, but not everything in it is accurate, I have been told.Schwilgue 17:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Clocks-from-metropolis.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Clocks-from-metropolis.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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 Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Thirdship (talk) 08:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Yes it's a still from a film, I can't see any other rationale other than - how else would you include it? I've spent 15 minutes reading the various wikipedia articles about adding a 'fair-use rationale' and I'm now much more confused than before. It's too complicated! I really don't have enough time to learn it all properly, so the image had better be deleted until I've time to do it properly. :( Cormullion (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TWELV

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article TWELV, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of TWELV. B.

[edit] St Mark's Clock in Venice

In the article concerning the St Mark's Clock in Venice, in a part added by you, I read: "The signs of the zodiac are in anticlockwise order around the inner zodiac dial: the zodiac wheel rotates clockwise with the hour hand but slips back slightly with each rotation, so that the hour hand slowly passes through each zodiac sign in the course of the year."

I think it must be " ..... but slips forward slightly with each rotation ....." i.e. the zodiac wheel rotates faster than de hour hand.

Can you agree?
