[edit] License tagging for Image:Eeblue3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Eeblue3.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 04:05, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Callum

I have taken the liberty of closing your request to delete the article Callum early. It's a problem which doesn't requeire deletion, since there is a legitimate version to revert it to. I have also removed vandalized revisions from the history, and the article is now protected so that only registered users can edit it. - Mike Rosoft 12:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Trains

Hello and welcome to the Trains WikiProject! Thank you for adding your name to our project membership list. Our goal is to build the most comprehensive and detailed guide to rail transport on Wikipedia. As a project member, you may add the project membership userbox to your user page if you wish.

If you haven't done so already, please add our main project page to your watchlist and take some time to review the Trains project manual of style where we have collected guidelines and suggestions on notability and style for a consistent representation of rail transport related material. If you're curious about where to start, we've gathered a few suggestions in the Trains project to do list. If you'd like to specialize in a particular area of study within rail transport, take a look at the current Trains project task forces.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask on the project talk page or on my talk page. Again, welcome and happy editing! Slambo (Speak) 16:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No worries

Thanks for your comment about the tables. I've just done the mother of all tables for the NZR DA class article. Update if you want. Cheers --Lholden 06:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NZR Manual of Style

Hi there,

As you are a regular editor of articles relating to New Zealand's railways, I thought I would bring my proposed NZR Manual of Style to your attention. I have created this Manual of Style after recent disputes made it clear to me that a formalised style system is necessary. I have sought to establish fair notability guidelines and to establish stylistic guidelines in line with the most common usage in reliable text sources on the topic. If you have any input, please leave a comment on my talk page. I am particularly interested in comment on the railway stations style section, where I state that New Zealand has railway stations, not train stations. This is likely to cause some issue if it is accepted: while the most major stations in the main centres are at "Railway Station", all other Auckland and Wellington stations with articles are at "Train Station" and some serious work on page moves would be required.

Have a good one! - Axver 10:08, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AFD nomination of Sadie

It appears in your nomination that you caught a version of the page that had been vandalized by an anonymous user. I think it just needs to be restored to an older verison. I did not revert the change to the article because of the on going AFD debate. I put the link to the older article on the AFD discussion. --Cyrus Andiron 18:17, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

  • Ugh, must of forgot to check the edit history page. Sorry. :) カラムTalk with me! 18:19, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted images

In answer to your question, yes, if you can provide a fair use rationale for an image, you can upload it again. The point (theoretically) is that these images need the rationale, not that they need to be deleted. --GentlemanGhost 14:59, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] bot

Betacommandbot seems to be using an outdated list to tag those train images, since they don't actually require a fair use rationale (they're considered freely available and in-line with our policies). I guess adding one won't hurt it, and it will keep the bot from leaving you messages until it's fixed. Sorry for the confusion. -- Ned Scott 03:40, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Err, oops, forget what I just said. Seems it was under fair use after all. -- Ned Scott 03:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WP:CVU status

The Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit project is under consideration to be moved to {{inactive}} and/or {{historical}} status. Another proposal is to delete or redirect the project.

[edit] Your userboxes lie...

You say you are from Lebanon in one userbox, but another one says you have never left the southern hemisphere. But Lebanon is in the Northern hempisphere! Smartyllama (talk) 19:49, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I'm lebanese, I don't actually come or ever have been to Lebanon. :) カラム 20:25, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Oh, but it still said you were from Lebanon. Which implies that you were born there. Smartyllama (talk) 23:19, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Mebibyte vs. Megabyte

GCFreak2, you recently made an edit to Random Access Memory and may be interested in participating in the formulation of new Wikipedia policy regarding computer terminology. The issue of using IEC terminology like “gibibyte” (v.s. “gigabyte”) is currently being discussed here on Talk:MOSNUM (as well as here, here, here, and here) on the same forum. Greg L (my talk) 01:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Straw poll vote on binary prefixes

I note that you voted on a proposed MOSNUM policy for Wikipedia to use the common binary prefixes like “kilobit” rather than the IEC prefixes (“kibibit”). Since you took an interest in the issue at that time, I thought it proper to let you know that the proposal has since morphed into a broader policy (MOSNUM #Follow current literature). A straw poll on whether the basic principle underlying that policy is sound is currently ongoing here at Talk MOSNUM #Straw poll. I hope you read the policy and vote as you see fit. Hope to see you there. Greg L (talk) 21:57, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
