[edit] Survey Invitation

Hi there, I am a research student from the National University of Singapore and I wish to invite you to do an online survey about Wikipedia. To compensate you for your time, I am offering a reward of USD$10, either to you or as a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. For more information, please go to the research home page. Thank you. --WikiInquirer 22:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)^{talk to me}

[edit] RE: Added sections

In response to your comments on the NASA Budget discussion page that you posted in July 2006, please review the Wikipage once again and feel free to provide any comments or further suggestions for improvement. Regards, ~JS~ WSpaceport 17:06, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Crail logo.png. 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).

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. BetacommandBot 03:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Leon Sumbitches aka Brian Wheat

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Leon Sumbitches aka Brian Wheat, by Golfhaus, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Leon Sumbitches aka Brian Wheat is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Leon Sumbitches aka Brian Wheat, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Leon Sumbitches aka Brian Wheat itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 16:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:OPENSTEP Desktop.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:OPENSTEP Desktop.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.BetacommandBot 05:06, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] CMYK color model

Back in '04 you said you did some research in adding some conversion equations to this article. But you didn't note your source. You think you can find it? I'm consider just throwing out the conversion equations, but if there's a source then they can probably stay. Dicklyon 02:04, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:OPENSTEP_Mail_application.jpg

I have tagged Image:OPENSTEP_Mail_application.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. ElinorD (talk) 19:37, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:OPENSTEP Workspace Manager.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:OPENSTEP Workspace Manager.jpg. 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. BetacommandBot 01:59, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia Category System

I am a graduate student in scientific computing at stanford (icme.stanford.edu). You username came up on some of the early category pages. We are trying to understand a little bit about the history of categories so that we can accurately discuss them in a research paper. If you would be willing to help us out that would be fantastic. I can be reached at my wikipedia name @stanford.edu. Thanks for your time. Jkozdon 00:23, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Sophie_Panopoulos.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Sophie_Panopoulos.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 21:42, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:OPENSTEP_Grab_icon.jpg

I have tagged Image:OPENSTEP_Grab_icon.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Rette tast 22:18, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of MathWorld

A tag has been placed on MathWorld, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion G11.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. DMcMPO11AAUK/Talk/Contribs 08:51, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of MathWorld

MathWorld, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

[edit] Tone scale

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Tone scale, 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 Tone scale. Cirt (talk) 14:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Tone scale

I have nominated Tone scale, an article you created, for deletion.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:OPENSTEP Chess.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:OPENSTEP Chess.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.BetacommandBot (talk) 15:56, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hello

I've seen your important contributions for the article Recurrence relation. I'm looking for the general (non-iterative) non-trigonometric expression for the exact trigonometric constants of the form: $\begin{align}\cos \frac{\pi}{2^n}\end{align}$ , when n is natural (and is not given in advance). Do you know of any such general (non-iterative) non-trigonometric expression? (note that any exponential-expression-over-the-imaginaries is also excluded since it's trivially equivalent to a real-trigonometric expression).

Let me explain: if we choose n=1 then the term $\begin{align}\cos \frac{\pi}{2^n}\end{align}$ becomes "0", which is a simple (non-trigonometric) constant. If we choose n=2 then the term $\begin{align}\cos \frac{\pi}{2^n}\end{align}$ becomes $\begin{align}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\end{align}$ , which is again a non-trigonometric expression. etc. etc. Generally, for every natural n, the term $\begin{align}\cos \frac{\pi}{2^n}\end{align}$ becomes a non-trigonometric expression. However, when n is not given in advance, then the very expression $\begin{align}\cos \frac{\pi}{2^n}\end{align}$ per se - is a trigonometric expression. I'm looking for the general (non-iterative) non-trigonometric expression equivalent to $\begin{align}\cos \frac{\pi}{2^n}\end{align}$ , when n is not given in advance. If not for the cosine - then for the sine or the tangent or the cotangent.

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Gericault Insane.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Gericault Insane.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 03:57, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Could you help me to fix my not-so-great looking image at commons:Image:AMS Euler sample.png?

Hey there,

You made a wonderful example of the AMS Euler TeX font over at commons:Image:AMS Euler sample.png, which I really liked. After a look at it, I realized that there was a mathematical error, so I fixed it, but as I don't have your understanding of how to create a png image from a LaTeX file I wound up with a not-so-great looking version. Would you be willing to tell me how you created the png image so that I can improve it? I've searched around on google, tried convert, but I just can't get it to work. Thanks so much, Kyle Barbour 01:01, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Never mind! I figured out a (kludgey) way of getting this done, so we're all set. Thanks! Kyle Barbour 11:23, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
