[edit] Kyberia De Jinni Alternamentos Ad Encyclopædiam Dicet

Look man, I will only ask this once. I'd apprecate if you'd stop editing my contributions. Your only reason for it is that I word things differently than you, big deal, I don't care. I hope you don't lose sleep over lame stuff like this, editing wars are really annoying. Cyberia23 07:01, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Actually I think I came on a bit strong, I'm not pissed off. My complaint was, when it comes to words I italicize and periods I place, you seem to be nitpicking what I do by changing it behind my back, and that is what is annoying to me. So I'm was asking you to stop changing my formatting.
Yes I'm aware of editing rules, yes I know anyone can change anything. Yes I'm completely cool with that. However I feel the formatting guidelines are wrong, and I suspected that you are going out of your way just to make sure I'm corrected at every turn. So all I'm saying is, if you make a change to something of mine that I don't think warrants an edit, I will change it back as many times as I have to. It may lead to an editing war, where one or both of us could get kicked off Wikipedia for it, or ends when one of us gives up and gets over it.
I asked Wikipedia about the problem of "U.S.S. vs USS" but I don't think they will be changing the system on that. Sad, but so be it I guess, however, they are just GUIDELINES not rules set in stone, so you won't be drawn and quartered for violating them.
I don't have a problem with you personally, I don't even know you, and I don't have a problem with or your contributions to articles, your inputs are good as well. However, you mentioned you don't like calling Classic Trek "Star Trek: The Original Series" because thats not what it's real name. Well in recent years since Next Gen and other Trek series followed, classic trek is commonly refered to as "The Original Series". You might as well spell it all out instead of saying "TOS" which I think is being lazy. You have to write the whole thing out for the link anyway, might as well keep it. As Spock might say, the logic seems flawed.
Anyway, Have a nice Thanksgiving Cyberia23 20:25, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Jinni Thomas De Libris In America Consultat

Reference question: I see you added this to Avoirdupois. "The British colonies in North America, however, adopted the system as it was". Can you help me know what system of pounds was used in 1827 in New England, specifically upstate New York? Thanks. Tom - Talk 16:14, Dec 2, 2004 (UTC)

I think this says definitely avoirdupois for the common New England settler. Am I right?
"Since the troy pound was smaller than the commercial pound units used in most of Europe, medieval English merchants often used a larger pound called the "mercantile" pound (libra mercatoria). This unit contained 15 troy ounces, so it weighed 7200 grains. This unit seemed about the right size to merchants, but its division into 15 parts, rather than 12 or 16, was very inconvenient. Around 1300 the mercantile pound was replaced in English commerce by the 16-ounce avoirdupois pound. This is the pound unit still in common use in the U.S. and Britain. Modeled on a common Italian pound unit of the late thirteenth century, the avoirdupois pound weighs exactly 7000 grains. The avoirdupois ounce, 1/16 pound, is divided further into 16 drams.
"Unfortunately, the two English ounce units don't agree: the avoirdupois ounce is 7000/16 = 437.5 grains while the troy ounce is 5760/12 = 480 grains. Conversion between troy and avoirdupois units is so awkward, no one wanted to do it. The troy system quickly became highly specialized, used only for precious metals and for pharmaceuticals, while the avoirdupois pound was used for everything else." http://www.unc.edu/~rowlett/units/custom.html

[edit] Ramus-Homo De Jinnis Custodia Exscribendi Quaeret

Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to...

  1. ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
  2. ...all articles...

using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. So far over 90% of people who have responded have done this.

Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff. So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} template (or {{MultiLicensePD}} for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2
I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:
{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace {{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}} with {{MultiLicensePD}}. If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know at my talk page what you think. It's important to know, even if you choose to do anything so I don't keep asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk) 14:31, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Hi - I made a list of users who've been around long enough to have made lots of edits but aren't admins.

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Yoshimi battles the pink robots dvd cd cover.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Yoshimi battles the pink robots dvd cd cover.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of NX class starship

An editor has nominated NX class starship, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NX class starship and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 16:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Borg cube ship over earth.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Borg cube ship over earth.jpg. 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) 04:17, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Oberth class starship.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Oberth class starship.jpg. 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. Ricky81682 (talk) 20:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Akira class starship.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Akira class starship.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. --EEMIV (talk) 18:04, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Isolinear optical chip

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Isolinear optical chip, 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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --EEMIV (talk) 16:58, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
