[edit] 3D-Binary File of the Logo ?

Hi, i would like to animate your Logo (3D). I can reconstruct the whole Sphere, but if there's a Binary-File (3D Studio, Cinema4D, OpenFX, Povray ...) - would be nice to use. At last - where can i upload the Result and the related 3D-Data at the end ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.190.185.90 (talk) 15:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ceb-wp logo

Hi,

I would like to request a change of the text of the ceb-wp logo to "Wikipedya, ang gawasnong ensiklopedya" because the correct spelling is "ensiklopedya", not "ensayklopedya" as in the last version. See also my post @ meta. Thanks! --Bentong Isles 14:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Can I incorporate your logo?

I'd like to incorporate the Wikipedia logo into an icon, if that's alright. I'd like to put sunglasses on it to indicate privacy on Wikipedia for the user group {{User pro-anon}}. I think that putting the sunglasses which are currently the icon over the globe would really convey the message. What's more, I already made it. I want to get your OK before uploading it, though. Thanks. P.S. One of your cats shares my last name. -Justin Force 23:28, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Be my guest, thought it's really not my decision. The Wikimedia Foundation owns all rights to the logo now. Cool last name. Nohat 04:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagalog Wikipedia article

Hello. Can you please kindly assist me in placing a Tagalog Wikipedia logo thumbnail for the Tagalog Wikipedia article. Would really appreciate it really if it comes from the original creator of the Wikipedia logo. Many thanks.Dragonbite 23:15, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixed logo

I saw the article at [1] about errors in the logo, and though I would give fixing them a quick try. What do you think about meta:Image:Wikipedia-logo_thue.png? I just hand pixel edited the logo to resemble the correct version suggested by the New York Times article. Thue | talk 12:12, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

What errors (I was unable to access the NY times article)? Both logos look the same to me, I even noticed an error on the fixed image that is not on the other one.  Tcrow777  talk  00:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
The Japanese chars just to the right of the top middle needed a vertical line on the first char. And the sanskrit char on the leftmost piece in the middle row was wrong (according to the NYT). The NYT article was available with free registration when I posted the initial comment, but is now only available if you pay for access. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thue (talk • contribs) 20:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oromo Wikipedia logo

Hi, would it be possible for you to create a version of the WP logo for the Oromo Wikipedia? The text, as I was informed by the local admin (see om:User_talk:Johannes_Rohr#Reply) would be: Wikipedia, Encylopedia Billisaa

[edit] Font for Korean logo

Hi, thank you for all your logos :) Can I ask you which font you used for the Korean Wikipedia logo? Link: Image:Wikipedia-logo-ko.png I suspect Apple Gothic (judging from your use of Hoefler Text) but I'm not sure, because Apple Gothic doesn't support bold natively. --Kjoonlee 00:15, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UBX

I am a newbie at English Wikipedia, and I saw you had been here for 4 years. I would like you to help me out with linguistics userboxes, such as "a full understanding of the [[Cyrillic Alphabet", an "advanced understanding of the Hebrew abjad, and a "full understanding of the IPA". The only languages I know are listed on my Babel boxes, but I know the full Cyrillic, Hebrew, and International Phonetic Alphabets, and would like those userboxes. I also need other help, because I only joined yesterday, and I am already a Recent changes patroller, and have helped to block User:Teletubbiesaresexy.

[edit] New SVG logo

I thought that I should tell you that I created a new SVG version of the Wikipedia logo, located here. It has a few problems, could you help me with it?  Tcrow777  talk  23:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

That is why I called it "experimental", it is a work in progress. Did you not read the note or the to-do list on the Commons talk page where I pointed out those problems? Yes, I auto-traced it. I used Inkscape to edit it a litle.
I am not the first one to point out the inconsistencies between the main page logo and large PNG logo, see it's talk page on Commons.
 Tcrow777  talk  04:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
So it seems we both already know the problems with the current logo and the SVG one. What can I do to help you? Nohat 04:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
Can you use Inkscape? I am still very new to it. Feel free to upload a new version of the SVG logo if you want to.  Tcrow777  talk  05:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
You said "Second, the gradient across the sphere is implemented as a series of overlapping strips of slightly different shades of gray." But the PNG logo dark gray going into almost white, I thought that the SVG was supposed to do the same thing.  Tcrow777  talk  05:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
I do not think that was a very smart question. I have next to no experience with Vector Graphics.  Tcrow777  talk  00:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Do you think that I should get assistance from a VG-3 user?  Tcrow777  talk  01:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Missing accents

If you compare this image with the logo used on the en.wp main page, there are differences:

(capital short I)
Ω
(capital Omega)		 Ώ
(capital Omega with Tonos)

 Tcrow777  talk  23:40, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I think that one international logo with different characters with additional translated text added below it would be better.  Tcrow777  talk  05:15, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo for Haitian Creole Wikipedia

Hello Nohat !

You seem to be the man to contact when we need a logo, so here I go : the Haitian Creole Wikipedia has recently been renamed from "Wikipedia" to "Wikipedya". Would it be possible to change the logo to reflect this ? The text would be "Wikipedya - Ansiklopedi lib".

Thanks ! le Korrigan →bla 08:32, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Catalan dialect examples

A {{prod}} template has been added to the article Catalan dialect examples, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you endorse deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please tag it with {{db-author}}. Fram 09:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image source problem with Image:Wikipedia-banner.png

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Wikipedia-banner.png. 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, 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, 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:Non-free content, 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 18:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 18:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Pleonastic

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Pleonastic, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Pleonastic seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Pleonastic, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Culogo web 60red.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Culogo web 60red.gif. 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. Zedla (talk) 00:36, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting of IPA symbols in edit tools

Hi Nohat, I saw at Noetica's page that you are in the know about the tool box in the edit panel. Would it be possible to sort the IPA symbols the same way as the page help:IPA. As they are now, I always have great trouble finding the one I need. The sorting sequence in the help file is not ideal, but much easier to use. −Woodstone (talk) 08:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Nohat. Thanks for your recent pointer at our discussion of markup for the hard space.

Right now we have to host the discussion at a subpage of a userpage, because anywhere else it's too hard to keep order and focus. But later we want to take this to a much wider forum, and gain the necessary consent of the wider WP community.

Your advice and assistance would be much appreciated!

[edit] Speedy deletion of Image:Con-34b.wav

A tag has been placed on Image:Con-34b.wav requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi! I am promoting wikipesca.com. It will have the same "substrate" as wikipedia.com but focused on "fishing" and fish lovers to the spanish speaking community. "pesca" means to fish in spanish.

My question is that, if you could do a wikipesca, wikifishing logo. Sketch concept brieffing: "wikipedia globus, instead puzzle pieces fish, and on the top a fisher" The logo will be under wikilincence ready to use for futher other wikifishing initiatives.

[edit] Can you fix the Wikipedia logo?

I've left a couple messages on the logo's discussion page, but maybe I should leave one here too. The problem is that the devanagari script puzzle piece in the logo has been pretty badly mangled by whatever software generated it. It's almost like a little poster child of the Western World's inability to deal properly with indic text. It's embarrassing. I'd be happy to fix it myself if I knew how the image was generated, but I don't. If it can't be fixed, could a new logo be created with no attempt at devanagari at all?

[edit] Saterfrisian logo

Hallo Nohat, Last December you were so friendly to create the logo for our Saterfrisian Wikipedia: stq:Wikipedia-logo-stq.png. At that time, however, it was not brought by our helpers to the top of the left column, so it can only be found at our page stq: In between we are approaching 400(!) real articles and we found it time now to have the logo moved to its right place. Now, however, some people are complaining about the text Ju fräie Enzyklopädie being unclear. Indeed you can’t read it very good. So we would be very thankfull if you could find a way to make it a little more “bold”. --Pyt (talk) 14:05, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
