[edit] welcome

Thanks for joining our slightly slow moving project! Do you work at Collideascope? I used to work with Steve and MA when Steve was at Citadel, ages ago. I moved the article of the moment to the one you suggested, it will be a long haul to make that turkey work! As my mother-in-law says, pitter patter, lets get at 'er!WayeMason 02:33, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Formatting my contributions

Thanks for the help with the Halifax demographics. I feel the content changes are valuable, but I feel like such a goof when the result *looks* worse afterward. Thanks for cleaning it up a bit! AshleyMorton 14:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image:Red dragon thing.gif

The image Image:Red dragon thing.gif is clearly a derivative work of Image:Dalhousie coat of arms.png. As such, the original holder of the copyrights to the latter image retains rights on the former. I've retagged the former (and OrphanBot picked up on it) appropriately. If you have questions about this, I'd be happy to answer. All the best, --Durin 18:11, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help with RFC

Hello fellow Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nova_Scotia member. I have recently lodged a Request for Comments on the Talk:Halifax, Nova Scotia page. I and several other editors have had a running dispute with user Lonewolf BC. The RFC is This is a dispute about whether it is accurate to continue to refer to the area of or approximately coinciding with the boundaries of the City of Halifax, which became a part of the rural/urban Halifax Regional Municipality in 1996, as a city.

Basically, as I say on the RFC, we all agree that this is no longer a City, but to use former City's boundaries when describing the current urban area as a "city" (note the lower case) is at best arbitrary and at worst a fabrication. The city is now a continuous area that wraps the harbour, from Portuguese Cove (outside of the city of Halifax to the west and south) to Cole Harbour (outside of the former City of Dartmouth to the east). People now refer to the entire urban area of Halifax Regional Municipality as 'the city' and 'Halifax'.

Anyway, the bottom line is at least five people have tried to change the wording of the intro since January, and every time this one user changes it back. I have tried to come up with compromise wording, and he won't dialog. Right now wikipedia says HRM and Halifax are the capital of Nova Scotia. This article is now factually incorrect, in my opinion, and I need your help, please chime in. WayeMason 23:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Xev-Seeberg.jpg copyright

Hi, OldCommentator, I was just through and saw Image:Xev-Seeberg.jpg. I was wondering you managed to get a GFDL on that image, since almost all the Lexx images are purely copyrighted screenshots. If you got them to agree to freely license their images, it would be good to know. If so, could you explain it on image talk page. Thanks! -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:07, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Zev3.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Zev3.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. 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 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. Rettetast 21:50, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
