[edit] Sidebar redesign final vote!

It's that special, special time! No, grandma's not coming over. No, not time to clean out the fridge. It's sidebar redesign voting time! Yes, the community has narrowed it down to 3 different options, and a vote for the same old original sidebar is a choice one could vote for as well. Voting for multiple options is allowed, and discussion on the whole shebang is right there on the vote page itself.

You're probably getting this message because the sidebar fairy (JoeSmack for now) noticed you commented on the project at some time over on at Wikipedia talk:Village pump (proposals)/Sidebar redesign. Lovely. JoeSmack Talk 06:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent reversal of patent nonsense on prime numbers

Since the editor seemingly very recently acquired a brand new user, perhaps you could try to put a messag to User_talk:Laljag, stating I reverted your edit since it was nonsense, but welcome anyhow in an as friendly manner at possible :-) ? JoergenB 12:41, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Right; I should do this more often, but it gets quite tiresome after the hundredth revert. Granted, template messages like Template:Welcome have been created to make the work easier, but finding a template that fits the occasion is almost as much work as writing one. Fredrik Johansson 14:15, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] your revert

The images will look the same. And infoboxes are far more flexible. Are you familiar with infoboxes? --Jtir 12:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

You're just introducing unnecessary complexity and inconsistency. Please explain what you are going to use this extra flexibility for. Fredrik Johansson 12:15, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Text alignment can be controlled. I have centered some captions and left aligned others. The alignment may need some tweaking. Further, they eliminate clutter -- namely the small resize icon that indicates the image is a thumbnail. In some cases the result has been a smaller box, which saves screen space. Also they support titles above the boxes if editors feel those would be desirable. Have you looked at any of the edits I have made? --Jtir 12:24, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
If you don't like the size, icon and alignment, you can edit your own stylesheet to that end. I want image boxes in this article to look the way they do in other articles when I view them, thank you. Fredrik Johansson 12:40, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Most readers of the encyclopedia probably don't have your ability to edit stylesheets. What differences have you noticed after the changes I have made? --Jtir 12:56, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Another advantage to infoboxes is that images and captions can be stacked more densely, as this sandbox example shows. --Jtir 13:21, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stegosaurus

Hi Fredrik!

I'm planning to send Stegosaurus to Featured Article candidacy. The article failed its first nomination, but user:Casliber and I have been hard at work fixing stuff. As you're listed as a member of Wikipedia: WikiProject Dinosaurs (founder, actually), I figured I'd drop you a line and see if there was anything you thought should be added/removed/cited on the article before it is sent to FAC. We definitely want it to pass! :)

(Feel free to make any edits on the article itself, comment on the talk page, or leave a note on my talk page). Thanks for your time, Firsfron of Ronchester 19:32, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Doom mapformat screen.png

Hello, i would like to move this image on Commons, but screenshot with copyrighted content are not allowed in Commons. I would like to know if texture used are free ? and if no, do you think you can do the same picture with free content (i know FreeDoom replace all unfree content of Doom). Thanks a lot. fr:user:bayo 193.248.38.17 17:13, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I can do a free version, but not this instant. Fredrik Johansson 17:15, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks a lot, i can wait :) I already move Commons:Image:Doom_mapformat_map.png on Commons. Another little thing, it will be nice to release another screenshot (of Image:Doom mapformat screen.png) without comment, because it's more easy to translate english image without alterating the picture. 193.248.38.17 17:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] UK Roundabout

An image you are listed as having worked on is up for delisting as a featured picture: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/UK Roundabout delist. The image creator is gore from Wikipedia, but you apparently made the most recent version. One of the main criticisms is that the frame rate of the animation is poor and that a higher frame rate at the expense of file size would be beneficial. Would you care to comment, or can you make an improved version? --Dgies 04:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Graphics Lab

I saw your name listed on Wikiproject Illustration or the list of graphic artists, and I thought I'd let you know that a Graphics Lab has been created on EN. Based on the highly successful French and German graphics labs, it seeks to better organise and coordinate our graphic design and photo-editing efforts. Up until now, there has been no common space on EN where users could ask for maps, charts and other SVG files to be created. What's more, the Graphics Lab has discussion boards, tips, tools and links; in sum, a good common workspace. Come help us out! The infrastucture is already in place, and now we need participants. :) --Zantastik talk 00:49, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your edit to Talk:Lion

You don't seem to be an established vandal from what I can tell, but this sort of edit is totally inappropriate. Anything like that again will probably result in a ban. Richard001 03:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Goodness, sorry. I've been seeing a bit too much vandalism lately and I must have been a bit hasty. I thought you were a vandal using google as a reference :) Richard001 05:06, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading Image:Python-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.

Hey i was just browsing through the doom article and I noticed you took most of the screenshots featured on it. I've tried taking screens with the print screen button, but they always gome out muddled. How do you take yours? Reply on my talk page (not much there though) Arc88 21:55, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I'm Richard1990. I've adopted Wikitroid and I was just wondering if you would ever come back and edit it again. I've redone a lot with it, and now we need more articles. So come look at it sometime to see what it looks like now ok?--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 21:41, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image tag for Ron Rivest

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Ron Rivest.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ron Rivest.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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 files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 11:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Cbdorsett 11:33, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image question

Dear Fredrik; you say you currently edit very little, but allow my to post at your talk page. If the deletion backlogs on Commons continue to drag on as they currently are, you should have at least 2 months to deal with the issue.

An image you uploaded and tagged as taken by your dad, never got tagged with a license. I added a license to it -- GFDL-presumed -- but now I demand to get it properly certified or deleted, and have nominated the image for deletion. If you wish to respond, please do so here: commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Björnskalletjärn.jpg. Truly yours, Fred-J 22:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Lars Hörmander 1988.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Lars Hörmander 1988.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:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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. —Remember the dot (talk) 03:59, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Troy-poster.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Troy-poster.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 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too.

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Sandy Petersen.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Sandy Petersen.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media 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 media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. 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 media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media 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 description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media 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. —Remember the dot (talk) 19:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Template:Mainexperiment

A tag has been placed on Template:Mainexperiment requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{transclusionless}}</noinclude>).
