[edit] Hillary

I lost patience and semi-protected for a day. That should stop most of the nonsense. Feel free to remove if you think it over the top. -- Mattinbgn\talk 00:01, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] MESSENGER image of Mercury

  • You have protected this image which is on the front page. However, the credits for this image are incorrect, and I cannot modify them. Could you please do it. Quote from the MESSENGER web site :

"MESSENGER images are generally available for non-commercial educational and public information purposes, so long as their use does not convey NASA's, the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory's or Carnegie Institution of Washington's implicit or explicit endorsement of any goods or services.

[edit] Protected image

I'm deleting the protected images that used to be on the main page, and I'm wondering about the status of Image:Aug11 01.jpg. It looks like you might have restored the image to the English Wikipedia after it was deleted, so I left it alone. Please delete it from the English Wikipedia if it needs to be deleted. You don't need to let me know either way or respond to my message. Royalbroil 06:39, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jaguar Mark VII

Dear Evil Monkey

I was thinking to kick off an article in English language wiki on the Jaguar Mark VII which was a heavy sports sedan, redolant of its period, launched in England in at the London Motor Show (which I think means October) in 1950. I saw a message that an earlier article on this car was deleted in 2005. As far as I can make out, it was deleted because the only thing that anyone had bothered to write, was ****. But there is sometimes more to these things than meets the eye. So:

You were involved in the deletion. Do you remember if it was deleted because (1) the subject was deemed inappropriate or (2) because whatever had been written was lousy or (3) something else?

Thanks for any clues you can provide on this. Best wishes Charles01 (talk) 19:36, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Wow -- must go back to when I was first made an admin. Anyway, looking at what was deleted, there would be no problem starting a new article. It was just deleted because the only edit was nonsense. Evil Monkey - Hello 22:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] JEFF BERWICK INFORMATION/BIRTHDATE

I have recieved comments on "my deliberate addition of infactual information" on Jeff Berwick - more specifically his birthdate... originally showing 1975 - actual would be 1970.

You are looking for factual information.. unfortunately I cannot provide any writings as "proof" but alas, the saying "50% of what you read is false, the othe 50% is just not true" applies here...

1) On "gradbook" he is listed as graduating in 1988 2) I was a schoolmate who also graduated in 1988 - same school (Paul Kane High - St albert, alberta). And were pretty decent friends from grades 7 thru 9. 3) I played organized hockey with him - we were on the same team for a year arouund 1983/84. Based on Hockey being an age/group sport he HAS to be within my agegroup. Otherwise He would have been 9 playing with 14/15 year olds. (note: he would have been a 13 year old high school graduate - that would be remembered by all of us grads in 1988 - if it were true.) 4) His younger brother was the only survivor of 3 in a tragic car accident in 1989 on the way to West Edmonton Mall. it was his younger brother's graduating year.

simple math here...

Thanks

[edit] Burmese script

What a cool cat! Yes to Queen, no to Pink Floyd (except for Learning to Fly), sorry. I am told you have skill with the Burmese font and upload graphics in it. May I prevail upon you for help? Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 18:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your quick response! What I need is asinthint, the Scout Motto: "Ever Ready" or "Always Prepared". The characters are kind of small and grainy at Image:WAGGGS-Burma Girl Guides badge.jpg, but with your knowledge you should be able to pick them out. Thanks once again! Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 20:56, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
I hope that's not too tall an order. :) Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 00:53, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
After having a look at it, it is beyond my limited skill. I was used to ones where the text was pretty obvious or the characters were actually available. In fact I could really only identify one of two characters. I don't actually have any real knowledge of the Burmese language or script, just like to create SVG images :-) Sorry, I couldn't be more help. Evil Monkey - Hello 01:40, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, the script in Padauk is: "tqifoif." Hope you can do it. Thanks. Wagaung (talk)

[edit] Can you help me?

I was reading the wikipedia article on the Lockheed AC-130 gunship article and it was mentioned that in popular culture, it featured heavily in the transformers movie. However I could not help but notice the fact that it was featured in Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was omitted.

[edit] List of Florida State University alumni

Hello, Evil Monkey. I recently ran across the FSU alumni article and noticed the many un-documented entries. Since the talk page had nothing on it, I attempted to start a discussion of the perceived problem, but only got feedback from one other user, who felt the article was fine.

I just reviewed the history of the talk page, though, and found a previous discussion of the topic, which had been deleted (by the same user who was happy with the article).

I've now replaced the earlier discussion, and added a tag to the article. Perhaps you would like to check it out for possible further discussion or improvements. Tim Ross (talk) 21:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
