Hey, welcome to Wikipedia. I've noticed several edits of yours, including I believe VfD, so this is kind of embarassingly belated, but I thought I'd get in a plug for Wikipedia:Help desk, just in case you need anything. Yours, Meelar 23:24, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Thanks very much - I made an edit on VfD just now that you mentioned it but hadn't earlier - at least I think I hadn't - if so, let me know what it was b/c that reference confused me a bit. :) --Krupo 23:36, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

I could have sworn that I saw your name there. My mistake, I guess. Anyway, welcome once again, and sorry for the confusion. Yours, Meelar 23:49, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the greetings anyway. :) --Krupo 23:52, 5 May 2004 (UTC)

Hi! I'm glad you're contributing to the votes for deletion page. If you click on the "add to this deletion debate" link under the topic you want to vote on, it helps keep the comments in order and reduces edit conflicts. Otherwise, welcome, and I hope you hang around for a while. --Ben Brockert 00:40, May 6, 2004 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the pointer, I'll be more careful with the link I use next time. :) --Krupo 00:51, 6 May 2004 (UTC)

Awesome. Nice addition to Clapping. Think it should be safe from the deletionists now? :-) — Wikisux 04:20, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I've had a fairly successful history of making edits that helped stave off VfD's (see alt.tv.simpsons <grin>. Krupo 14:00, Jun 5, 2004 (UTC)

Elections Canada has the results up for all of the ridings. It's my understanding that the parliamentary results are final, unless I'm mistaken, though I'd understand that the popular results probably aren't absolute. --DMG413 03:53, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Polish Green Party

Hi, you added an entry for the Polish Green Party, Zieloni -- could you enhance the stub a bit more? -- till we ☼☽ | Talk 17:46, 29 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] RCM/U of T

Hi there. Yes, I see what you mean. I changed "Other" in the article to "Other Academic Units" to emphasize that they are still a part of U of T. Maybe if we have an extra "Other" section (maybe just called "Other") or a "Facts" section saying that the Conservatory is on the U of T campus, but is not actually a part of the University. As for the McMaster stuff, I would put that in the history section. What do you think? Darkcore 20:51, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Done, thanks.

[[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (talk)]] 20:43, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] LOL.

That would be ironic. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (talk)]] 20:45, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Individual Savings Account

Ironically, ING also calls their savings account the same thing - does this deserve any mention? Krupo 21:04, Sep 5, 2004 (UTC)

There is no irony. The only thing they have which is called an individual savings account (ISA) is a cash ISA exactally as described in the article and most companies call their ISA an ISA (why call a spade anything but a spade?) Dainamo 17:11, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Perhaps the banks I used to deal with are unlike ING so I'm just unused to it. :) Krupo 02:12, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Chrétien edit

Good point on the Chrétien article (re: talking out of both sides of his mouth). You've added some nuance to a pretty crude piece. HistoryBA 17:19, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian_twenty_dollar_bill

I don't know what that discussion is about. I don't know what the laws are in Canada, but in the US, it's illegal to take photos of US money and post them places -- it's considered counterfeiting. RickK 04:43, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

Also, there may be copyright issues, euro banknotes for example have © BCE ECB EZB EKT EKP 2002 printed on them. zoney ▓   ▒ talk 11:19, 7 Sep 2004 (UTC)
    • Interesting! Especially since Canadian_dollar already has imagery of Canadian coins... hmm... Ironically, the information from [1] seems to pertain more to coinage than banknotes! The Bank of Canada, on the other hand, has the goods. [2] They have specimens posted online, with the word SPECIMEN superimposed on the images. The site does mention this, however: Copyright © 1995-2004, Bank of Canada. Permission is granted to reproduce or cite portions herein, if proper attribution is given to the Bank of Canada. Does that make it fair game to use the images on their site if credit is given? Krupo 02:28, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)
      • Page dedicated to the topic at hand found: here. The earlier note seems to imply that it would be okay to go ahead and use copies of the images on the bank of Canada site. Also interesting, this exception: It is not necessary to request the Bank's permission to use bank note images for film or video purposes, provided that the images are intended to show a general indication of currency, and that there is no danger that the images could be misused. I wonder if this applies to websites? However, it's probably better to play it safe - will e-mail them to ask for formal permission to use the images on Wikipedia. Krupo 02:50, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Tadeusz Mazowiecki

Hi there. It was late at night when I finally finished that article so there must've been some typos, but when I read it now I couldn't find any. Did you correct all of them? [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 22:12, Sep 8, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the corrections. It's high time I started looking for some on-line spellcheck.. Cheers and have a nice trip. [[User:Halibutt|Halibutt]] 18:14, Sep 10, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Seniomeritocracy

Observation: the way seniors currently get more representation by virtue of the fact that they turn out to vote in larger numbers implies that at least a Seniocracy exists; in addition, if statistics correlate education with voter turnouts, then this 'hypothetical' concept actually exists in reality, albeit to a limited and unintentional degree. This observation holds true, of course, only in democracies where voting isn't mandatory. The Australians, from what I understand, enforce mandatory turnouts, which would logically turn this back into a purely hypothetical scenario.

I wonder if any of these observations would actually make sense in the article itself? Krupo 04:32, Sep 29, 2004 (UTC)

  • Please, do add your observations to the article, and as many others as you think. I am sure there will be other wikipedians editing what we all write there. I think that the more we write, the better.--AAAAA 04:36, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] H-92

Thanks - I'm very excited about Wikipedia's potential as an aviation encyclopedia and like to nurture it as much as possible! --Rlandmann 05:03, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Database error

Yeah, it must have been a database error. Try asking on the Village Pump. [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (talk)]] 20:52, Sep 30, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Good quick work on SMAC

Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri is now looking like a distinctly-better-than-average article. And I see you have numerous other good-quality contributions under your belt. Keep it up!
Robin Patterson 04:47, 26 Oct 2004 (UTC)

  • thanks - doing those edits made me reinstall the game and quickly take over the world again. Krupo 03:49, Oct 27, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Montinia

Hi, thanks for the heads up. You can always list copyright violations at Copyright problems. RickK 07:08, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

  • thanks, I'll keep that link handy. Krupo 21:59, Oct 28, 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Old a.t.s.-er

Yup, I'm an old poster from years back. I still do the online fan thing at NoHomers.net. - Andrew Levine 08:35, 3 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Question: How do you take a screen shot in Alpha Centauri?

[edit] SMAC

Well I tried taking a Screen Shot by pressing Print Screen, but it doesn't work. So I installed a Screen Shot taking program, but when I take a screen shot the colors look really wierd, please help if you can.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:AlphaCentauriGameCD.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:AlphaCentauriGameCD.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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. « ₣M₣ » 15:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
