[edit] Very nice images, consider using Wikicommons

Hello and welcome, Mbz1. I noticed the image you added to Mirage and looked at some of your other images. They are very nice and show some great examples of unusual atmospheric optics. You may want to consider uploading them to the Wikimedia Commons where they can easily be used by wikipedias in other languages. I had uploaded a fairly large number of images here before somebody pointed that out... It was a bit of a pain to transfer them over, compared to simply uploading them to the commons to begin with. Here's a help page for moving ones already here. Images uploaded to the commons can be used by name as if they were on the EN wikipedia. I also recommend using a commons account name which is the same as your account here. If you have any questions, feel free to ask on my talk page. --Dfred 13:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply, glad to hear you're using the commons. And you did reply in the "right" place. Some people do choose to put a note on their own talk pages indicating they will reply locally rather than on the other person's talk page. --Dfred 12:28, 25 April 2007 (UTC)


[edit] re: toy dog revision

You're right, it wasn't vandalism. It wasn't appropriate for that article, so I removed it. But I shouldn't have called it vandalism. Jerazol 16:34, 28 May 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Mirages

A mirage?
A mirage?

You reverted my edits to the Mirage article citing the caption under the distorted picture of the sun (shown right) was incorrect, specifically that it was not a superior mirage. While I will admit I am not an expert on the topic, I am quite confident that it is not an inferior mirage, and according to the article, those are the only two types (with various sub-types under each). If they are not either, then there is no reason to place them within the mirage article. However, to me, it would appear to be a superior mirage because the lower, wider portion of the solar disk appears to be "shoved up", due to being refracted down at the atmospheric thermocline. -- atropos235 ✄ (blah blah, my past) 01:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Most of the animations and a few of the other images I removed from the main body because they were confusing as to what was being demonstrated. Because of the movement of the camera, it is difficult to trace the effect occurring, and so they end up being more of a distraction. -- atropos235 ✄ (blah blah, my past) 02:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC
