[edit] DFS and ADFS

Great contribution!!!

Could you add a Template:infobox_filesystem to them with the information you have.

Could you send me an e-mail? Thanks

You know, I do not believe that the help page on templates could be any less absurd and meaningless if anyone tried. And with a total lack of useful examples it's just about impossible to tell what they're on about. The template system is harder to understand than the DFS itself.
I'll try finding a working page with an example on and lift their code.

NTFS and HFS_Plus should be enough understoodable examples. — Claunia 23:20, 12 December 2005 (UTC)
I went for HFS (being a Mac user :) — --Ghiraddje 23:28, 12 December 2005 (UTC)


Hey, I noticed you added to the camptown article. I am not very active in wikipedia and don't know everything yet but I think there might have been some misunderstanding. A 'camptown' in Lesotho is not the name of a city but a type of city. Camptown is the word Basotho use instead of capital to desognate their main cities. The way I see the article now, it looks as if camptown is a city in Lesotho and not a type of city. Jeff.t.mcdonald 04:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

The problem was that the Camptown Races page had a link to "Camptown" in a sentence describing it as Camptown, PA. The link went to a Lesotho page, which was obviously wrong. You're welcome to correct the text of the disambiguation page to what you think I should have written. The article title of "Camptown, Lesotho" however, is exactly the way I found it. The Camptown page was a redirect to it, and I repurposed it as a disambiguation page since Lesotho doesn't have the only camptowns. Ghiraddje 11:48, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Well, I tried to fix it but it still looks funny. (Kind of like saying 'state capital, California' vs. explaining Sacramento is a state capital) I realize now you are not the one that redirected it and I am not sure how to change it so, I guess I will just let it be. Anyway, thanks for the tip. Jeff.t.mcdonald 16:29, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
OK, I've renamed the page to Camptown (Lesotho) which is more consistent with the meaning. Ghiraddje 20:10, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Looks great! Jeff.t.mcdonald 15:21, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Winamp with mp3Cue.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Winamp with mp3Cue.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. BetacommandBot 01:39, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Mp3DirectCut_app_icon.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mp3DirectCut_app_icon.png. 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. 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. Rettetast 22:09, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BBC Master bad pic

Sorry, I only get the pic at Flickr, I don't took it. It's a bigger shame (IMHO) that, with thousands of BBC Master users in UK, no one put a better pic in Creative Commons. There are great pics of BBCs at Flickr, but all copyrighted. In the Portuguese Wikipedia, the pic is merely illustrative and by no means derogatory of BBC Master or its users: a few people (if any) will understand what is written in the screen.

I don't know much about CC and I can't tell you if the photo can be modified. In such a case, I think that you can crop the pic and the problem has gone...

Sorry for my bad English ;)

Ah, I hoped it was yours ... pity. I've taken photos of my own BBC Micro for other things but the quality isn't quite up to Wikipedia standards (my camera sucks) and I gave away my last Master years ago. The photo on Flickr captured the screen very well -- his or her camera has wonderful dynamic range, something mine truly does not.
I'll leave them a message via Flickr and see what they say. Thanks.
