[edit] License tagging for Image:Madge Lake North Shore.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Madge Lake North Shore.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. 17:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Frum

Hi. Thanks for your work on David Frum. However, I'm afraid I've just removed it from the article. My reasons are somewhat technical: the first sentence was sourced to blogs, and the gun control controversy stuff seemed too long. I'm sure we can fix both problems.

I've copied the text to Talk:David Frum. Please join in the discussion there. Maybe you can come up with a short version of the gun control stuff? If so, we'll put it back in the article. Cheers, CWC 12:41, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] B's Star

Hi Grant. Thanks for updating with this edit. I think we need to see the formula unpacked to leave it in. Could you post on the page or on talk? Cheers, Marskell 19:03, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

The original edit had a typo, with "1/10" rather than the correct "1/25", which someone else refined to "1/27". Since some people can see fainter stars than others, either value of 1/25 or 1/27 is acceptable. It can be derived with the formula given in the apparent magnitude page, which is linked, using that page's value of magitude 6 as the faintest star seen with the naked eye. I don't think it needs any other reference.

[edit] Frum and Taki

Hi. I'm not saying that we cannot cover Taki's attacks on David Frum in that article, I'm saying that we must not mention that attack without giving the background (which includes harassment of Frum's wife and an anti-semitic remark directed at Frum). Furthermore, that particular attack is particularly unencyclopedic: the first few words ("From what I've heard") give it away as a childish smear. WP:BLP and WP:NPOV require removal of such attacks. Please do not put it back without gaining consensus on Talk:David Frum first.

Personally, I don't see anything notable (or at all surprising) about someone like Frum being attacked from the left or the right, nor do I see anything notable about Taki's attacks on Frum, so I won't be working on writing up that background info. If you or anyone else writes up the context for Taki's attacks on Frum and finds one with a lot more substance, we can use it. Cheers, CWC 10:43, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] gallery

What browser doesn't properly display Wikipedia:Gallery tag, as you mentioned in this revert? This would be a serious bug, as the gallery tag is an establishd wikimedia tag extension, see m:Help:Images#Gallery tag, category, table of images and mw:Help:Images#Gallery of images. Could you be more specific please. --Qyd (talk) 17:22, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
