[edit] Resolution Chart

NoClip, Are you the original author of this resolution chart? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Resolution_chart.svg

I have some questions about this chart, and the description... "It does not accuratly reflect the screen shape (aspect ratio) of these formats, which is always stretched or squeezed to 4:3 or 16:9. The table assumes an average vertical detail loss of .75x due to interlace. The actual loss is variable due to content, motion, opinion on acceptable levels of flicker, and possible success of deinterlacing. 1920x1080i is not included because all common use of 1080i is filtered to 1440 or less."

I don't understand why interlace artifacts are discussed or factored in to this chart. It would seem to be better to reference this as a separate discussion. The resolution of HDTV is identical for interlaced or progressive scan formats for the same signal type (1920x1080 or 1280x720).

I don't understand the justification for the statement "all common use of 1080i is filtered to 1440 or less". 1080i is defined by SMPTE 274M, and is broadcast in the US using ATSC. Neither of these specifications filter the horizontal resolution to 1440. Only HDV uses anamorphic pixels to record 1440x1080 as 1920x1080. Most of the broadcast 1080i material is shot and edited with full 1920x1080 resolution equipment.

This chart has been placed on many different wikipedia pages, and I am interested in working with the author(s) to improve it.

Thank you!

That particular chart is not mine. I tried to replace it but someone else re-replaced it with the current one. Noclip 20:52, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks... the origin remains a mystery! Tvaughan1 18:03, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SoaP

In my sandbox I reworked the article, moving most of the trivia section into a "parodies and references in popular culture section", leaving only three points in trivia. I moved the snake information up under the cast, and somewhat reworked the intro. I also removed the viral videos as well. Look this over and see if there are any other improvements that need to be made, and once that's done, I'll transfer it over to here. --Nehrams2020 00:54, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Looking over the reworked version, the main issues have been resolved. While it would pass in this form, my personal recommendation is to get rid of the first two trivia facts completely and to work the third one into the History section. Noclip 02:48, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
I transfered it over to the article if you would like to take another look. --Nehrams2020 19:02, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for assisting in the SoaP page and passing it. Can you also take a look at The Blues Brothers? I can work on it further today if there are any necessary improvements.

[edit] My secret

While I'd like to suggest it is all magic and raw talent, I have to give plenty of credit to the fact that I'm shooting with a 13 megapixel camera and high quality lenses, and quite often stitching 5-20 images together which (with up to 50% overlap to ensure that no part of the scene is missed) often resulting in images which are equivalent to about 50-100 megapixels. I usually downsample them by halving the dimensions and the image still typically results in an extremely high resolution image that is far sharper than an image would look straight out of a camera. That said, it all requires quite a lot of time and patience - more than a lot of people would be willing to give! Diliff | (Talk) (Contribs) 14:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hamburg vote

Noclip: I notice you voted "support" for the Hamburg picture. Don't you think you should move your “Support” to the beginning of your paragraph though (and move it hierarchically to the far left), or create a separate "support" vote? Thanks for your two cents to help call those "effete corps of impudent snobs" for what they are: "nattering nabobs of negativism". I loved the "Bah!" part. Like a fine wine, it provided a delicate finish with hints of aloof and dismissive. Greg L 23:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] White House image

Hi Noclip. thanks for writing me about the White House north portico image. I may have mispoke. The problem is more focus and clarity. the present picutre is in much better focus and shows more architectural detail. While I liked the appropriate spring time look to your pic it was very milky and did not show much detail. CApitol3 15:40, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Noclip. On my monitor, the image I placed there last night shows much more detail. I can see the dentils in the pediment, and more detail around the wiondows. CApitol3 20:37, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi (again) Noclip. At that size it looks wonderful! But what do you think when it is in hte size on hte article page? There it seemed less detailed to me. CApitol3 22

Hey Noclip, I almost forgot about it and then your WMATA map nomination reminded me. You are from DC, right?

I'm talking about the Buchenwald pic from the screwed up nomination a week ago. Just a thought. I don't know the propper procedure yet (whether you'd have to bring your own scanner, if you have to schedule a date, etc.) but I could help work it out if you'd be willing to do the legwork (and fingerwork for that matter :-) ). That is of course only if you really are on location. --Dschwen 22:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GAC backlog elimination drive

This form message is being sent to you either due to your membership with WikiProject Good Articles and/or your inclusion on the Wikipedia:Good article candidates/List of reviewers. A new drive has been started requesting that all members review at least one article (or more, if you wish!) within the next two weeks at GAC to help in removing the large backlog. This message is being sent to all members, and even members who have been recently reviewing articles. There are almost 130 members in this project and about 180 articles that currently need to be reviewed. If each member helps to review just one or two articles, the majority of the backlog will be cleared. Since the potential amount of reviewers may significantly increase, please make sure to add :{{GAReview}} underneath the article you are reviewing to ensure that only one person is reviewing each article. Additionally, the GA criteria may have been modified since your last review, so look over the criteria again to help you to determine if a candidate is GA-worthy.

Thanks for releasing the image into the public domain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.224.116.54 (talk) 18:43, 28 September 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:OpenOffice Windows.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:OpenOffice Windows.png. 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

[edit] I apologize

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Wikipedia under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.

I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.

Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:

Adam Bishop, Amarkov, Antandrus, AntiVandalBot, Bdj (Badlydrawnjeff), Conk 9, CanbekEsen, DLand, Downwards, Eagle 101, Ericbronder, Gogo Dodo, High on a tree, Hut 8.5, Interiot, Jayjg, Jrwallac, Kingboyk, Kuru, Noclip, Patrick Berry, PFHLai, PhantomS, Pollinator, Rachack, Ranma9617, Rx StrangeLove, SlimVirgin, Tfrogner, TommyBoy, Vary, Woohookitty, Zzuuzz, and some anonymous IPs. (I also reverted one edit myself after it went unnoticed for three weeks.)

Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.

If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Best regards, Shalom (Hello • Peace) 19:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Off Soundtrack Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Off Soundtrack Cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:13, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:The Dark Knight (2008) - Joker.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:The Dark Knight (2008) - Joker.jpg. 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 (talk) 03:22, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Informing past contributors of new TFD for Template:Maintained

As you were a contributor in the last TFD, I am letting you know that {{Maintained}} is again up for deletion. Please review the current version of the template and discuss it at the TFD. Thanks! — BRIAN0918 • 2008-01-30 17:48Z

[edit] Featured sounds

I noticed that you have participated in Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates in the past. There are now two candidates and the project appears to be abandoned. If you could look at the candidates and vote it would be appreciated. Zginder (talk) (Contrib) 00:48, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Union Station at Dusk.jpg

Hi. I was wondering why the latest revision of your Image:Union Station at Dusk.jpg is the smallest of the three? There is lost detail because of that. Also, what is the difference between the 2.3 MB version and the 2.5 MB version? Thanks. (Someone moved it to Commons but only the latest revision, i.e. the one with least detail). —Wknight94 (talk) 16:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
