User talk:Hyad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia!

Here are some tips to help you get started:

If you haven't already, please add your name to the new user log to let others know a little about yourself. Read the Tutorial, and feel free to experiment in the Sandbox. Eventually, you might want to read the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. If you need help, post a question at the Help Desk or ask me on my talk page. To sign your name on a talk page, please finish your comments with ~~~~ (four tildes). The wiki will insert a link to your userpage and the timestamp. Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

(Note: I cut and pasted this - it seems alot of people do that - either that or everyone is being brainwashed by aliens to think the same thing.) -Hyad 04:51, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Daily Radar

Sorry, this is a case where I have never heard of this company in the first place. Dyl July 5, 2005 19:52 (UTC)

That's OK, it doesn't matter too much. In the future, hopefully enough people will join wikipedia, so atleast one of them knows more about Daily Radar than I do. :) -Hyad July 5, 2005 21:02 (UTC)

[edit] Please fix Pearle to recognize Template:Future game

Yup, a few people pointed that out. I did manage to fix it and test it on the few remaining articles in that category which hadn't already been frobbed. Thanks for your attention to detail. -- Beland 02:17, 12 August 2005 (UTC)

Ok. At least Pearle is better than some other bots that convert American to English [1]. -Hyad 02:30, August 12, 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Listing criteria for software pages

As we have so many Lists of software and Software comparisons, would it be worth setting up a single page somewhere where people can discuss a consistant policy on what to add? Or is there already such a page? Ojw 17:17, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Oh, I don't know if there is such a page already - you might want to talk on the Category:Software comparison page. If you are refering to my edits on the Comparison of bitmap graphics editors, then you could discuss stuff there or have it on my talk page. I was only trying to make sure the Comparison of bitmap graphics editors doesn't become a List of bitmap graphics editors. I really love the the page - cause I want to get into editing photos myself - but there seemed to be too many choses and not enough descriptions. That leaves the average person looking at the page very confused about what is a good photo editor they can use. (BTW, I commented out the old links - I did not delete them - in case you want to be able to put some of them back onto that page.) The Comparison of handheld gaming consoles is a good example of what a comparison page should be like. -Hyad 22:09, August 19, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] MGS4's expected release date

Regarding your edit to the Metal Gear Solid 4 page (and question in the history):

Since Metal Gear Solid, each game has been released three years apart. MGS in late 1998, MGS2 in late 2001, then MGS3 in late 2004. The next game's expected to follow the pattern; nothing official's been given by Konami regarding the release yet, but it is true that MGS4 is "expected to be released in late 2007." - DoubleCross 17:02, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Steve Oedekerk image

Hi, can you provide the source and copyright details for the Image:Steve.gif you worked on. Thanks. Jay 12:22, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I've added the image to Wikipedia:Copyright problems. Also User:Whiskey909 is not a regular contributor. User's only contributions are two images. Jay 05:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] There is a free software portal

Hi, I just saw your comment on that talk page of the free software article about starting a portal. I started a free software portal about 2 weeks ago, but I've got busy and haven't developed it much. Here it is: Portal:Free_software. It needs a lot of work :-) Gronky 01:50, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Java Programming/Spring framework is pretty snappy!

I just finished reading your wikibooks entry on Spring framework and thought it was pretty good! It was nice and succinct. I have been tinkering with it at work for the past two weeks and am convinced that along with Eclipse, Visual Editor, and Hibernate via Spring Framework, that building well architected applications is easier than ever before. I also linked to it from my own web page. --Gregturn 23:50, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Production of a Beloved Community

That's a fantastic find, I've got to read that tonight! -- Zanimum 20:45, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spring framework

Thanks for the quick Spring introduction. I'm diving into Spring now after a long stint away from Java and it was nice to be able to run through a quick tutorial, get a real result, and see why it was all worthwhile. Inanutshellus 22:00, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Wow! this is pretty neat. I was going through the recommended book for Spring, but could not find a simple enough example. This makes the idea of using Spring framework very clear for a beginner like me. vichlu

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Ed_Bradley_2.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Ed_Bradley_2.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 06:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Shyam (T/C) 06:50, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Duplo logo.gif listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Duplo logo.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

Thank you. —PNG crusade bot (feedback) 22:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Duplo logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Duplo logo.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 05:06, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
