[edit] Userboxes

I'm really impressed with the quantity and quality of the userboxes you've been creating. And what a diverse range of subjects! Keep up the good work! -- JediLofty User | Talk 10:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm having fun. Once I learned how to do them I just added my own tastes to them. As you can tell I have a range of interests, from the serious to the completely inane! --One Salient Oversight 11:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox

Thanks for your new userbox! I like it, and supports it. --Beyond silence 15:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

OSO, thanks for your concern but in fact I am not a vegetarian. On the contrary, I eat large quantities of just about anything! Colin MacLaurin 12:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
I'd love to OSO, thanks for the invite.... unfortunately I live in Brizzy and can't make it down for that time frame. ~cries in corner~ --Jquarry 09:06, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Neil, I see that you do not have the email feature enabled, so I'll post this here even though it's not technically for the purposes of creating an encyclopedia :) Just a few thoughts to finish up some good conversation. Please check out the article progressive Adventist - it is almost solely my work. I am absolutely convinced that such-minded people do not receive the attention their notability and numbers deserve, either internally or externally to the church. So far two people that I know of have highly appreciated this article. I have written many other articles, a list of which is on my Contributions subpage.

I appreciated your opinion on the Branch Davidians - they were a messed up group, a splinter group of another splinter group (Davidians or Shepherd's Rod), and from a public relations POV the church was wise to disassociate itself with them long ago. At the same time, many people do believe the FBI (was it?) handled the situation very poorly. The first time I heard their role criticised was by a friend who is into conspiracy theories, and so I dismissed it as a crack-pot anti-government conspiracy theory. Now, it seems that many sane, educated people do believe the FBI made some serious blunders. There were some good articles and posts on my favourite blog - a non-Adventist evangelical book and review from another such, with a response and followup forum discussion.

I didn't have as much to say about the culture of the Middle East as you or Ashé, but it is a fascinating and extremely relevant topic, and I look forward to learning more. I am very interested in learning more about the charismatic/Pentecostal movement. My experience of them has really only been with Hillsong Church, and a few such friends who also attend Avondale College. I have attended ordinary worship services a couple of times, one live recording, and Men's Conference 2006 and Hillsong Conference 2006 (I wrote the article). I had a very positive experience at both conferences. I may be overreacting to an attitude prevalent amongst more conservative Adventists - many are highly suspicious of other church groups, particularly Catholics and Pentecostals. Perhaps I am too positive of them. Either way I would appreciate your opinion. I plan to write a published, real-world article about the 2006 and 2007 (coming soon) Conferences. What can you tell me about Ps and Cs?

I mentioned this article, which is a crucial report IMO: “Left Behind” - Is Representation of Religion in the U.S. Media Skewed? (brief blog with a link to the actual report). I am not an opponent of conservative Christianity as a whole - I am a conservative Christian myself in many ways, but reject the common "boxed" portrayal by the media as narrow-minded, unintelligent, dogmatic etc. Reporting on conservative leaders far out of proportion can only by harmful to Christians and others.

Here is Category:Former Seventh-day Adventists, which I created, albeit somewhat against my conscience! I wrote Dale Ratzlaff and Robert Brinsmead, and added most of the others myself. Actually many of the additions are uncited, and I would not complain if a stricter Wikipedian were to remove them from the category.

Cheers and good to meet you, Colin MacLaurin 02:40, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

That was a big post, and not technically for the purposes of creating an encyclopedia. However I would still appreciate your comments, OSO. Please reply on my talk page. Colin MacLaurin 16:31, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Peter Jensen pic

Hi! I frankly don't know why I gave it a CC license. Maybe I read the options and thought that was the one that seemed to fit. I presumed It was OK to use it as it was freely available through Anglican Media.

What license should it have? Should it be deleted and uploaded differently? Can you fix it? I'm not good at this sort of stuff!

--Amandajm 12:23, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I think the CC license was what I stuck on it because I read the list and when I had downloaded it from Anglican Media, it said that it was a promotional pic that could be used with acknowledgement. So the source needs to be acknowledged. Do you think I should give Anglican Media a ring to find out? They are monitoring the website that it has been used on, so will know it is there. --Amandajm 06:51, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't worry about it. I've already emailed them and I got an email back yesterday saying they will contact me shortly about it. I'll see if I can get either a change in licence (to a CC one) or at least a statement allowing the pics to be used more freely on Wikipedia. The reason this is important is because I created the userbox User:UBX/Sydney Anglicans which featured the cropped pic of Peter Jensen. Images that are copyrighted and determined to be "fair use" can't be used on userboxes or people's pages. Even though the images are essentially promotional in nature they still can't be used for any other purpose. It's tough, I know, but I was able to get special permission from Xiph.Org Foundation to use their logo on the userbox User:UBX/Ogg Vorbis so all may not be lost.

--One Salient Oversight 10:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I'm sorry that I left a message on your User page. I do stupid things like that on a remarkably regular basis. I keep reminding myself of Mr Bean... particularly having just seen the latest.... oh, this is waffle... ...if you've emailed Anglican Media then it will probably be sorted out quite easily. If not, I'm in Sydney ... --Amandajm 10:56, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for finding the new image of Richard Nixon. It's much better than the one it replaces. If you can find a tight head shot of George H.W. Bush or Jimmy Carter, feel free to make similar improvements to the userbox. Karl Hahn (T) (C) 13:32, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Userbox obsession is good

Hi - good to meet you (briefly) at the Sydney meetup.

If you ever want to use your (if I understood you correctly) obsessive userbox habit for a good cause, consider paying a visit to Appropedia:Help:Userboxes - they will serve an important role in the networking on the site, but I've been focused elsewhere, and we haven't had anyone take up the task.

No pressure, but if you were ever in the mood to help (or even had suggestions) it would be fantastic. Thanks --Chriswaterguy talk 14:51, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

I'll have a go. Got to get to bed now. --One Salient Oversight 14:54, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You may be able to help me with the coding...

Hey again! Do you know how to introduce a variable into a userbox? (e.g. This user's hometown is (Town Name Here)). How do you code it so that a variable coded into the Userbox link e.g.{{User:Example/ubx/ubxexample|Variable text}} comes up there?  MichaelHenley (Page-Talk-Contribs) 08:33, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I actually found your userbox when you edited one of mine, the User:Mtmelendez/Userboxes/No Globalization, which you greatly improved. I'll see if I can find more suitable pictures for the State vs. Nation UB, although they seem fine for the time being. - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 12:25, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Asterix wiki

Hi. I think your Asterix wiki is quite nice. I'm not going to vote, simply because I don't know how much time I could have in there. I noticed you can't wait. Well, I'm just going to suggest that you visit the irc channel http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Wikia_IRC_channel and get a live answere. I myself can't wait for my imdb wiki wich seems to be going well in it's request page. Good luck --Steinninn 00:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I will be able to help:

  • I can write articles

[edit] On the Unfulfilled Christian Prophecy article

Do you want to maybe work on it together now that it's been redirected, since many people seem to support that the material might be useful, perhaps as a new article? I can't help very much right now, because school is almost over and i'm still doing exams, but once exams are out after next tuesday, I was thinking that maybe we could work on the article under a user subpage with a much better title, and make it so the original purpose of it actually shines out clearly in a manner which would defend itself from drastic changes in purpose. After next tuesday, I think i'll have large amounts of free time on my hands, and i'd be very interested in helping put this article together in a proper manner. Homestarmy 23:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EU Userboxes

I've made a userbox to replace your collection of userboxes that tell specific countries to join the EU. It uses parameters and parser functions.

{{User:The Userboxer/Userboxes/JoinEU}} creates

This user wants all of Europe to join
the European Union.


That one is an example of how it would look if no parameter was defined. However, one parameter, the country, would make it like this:

{{Sweden}} creates

This user wants Sweden
to join the the European Union.


This template effectively deprecates all of your join-EU templates. Sorry. If you have any questions, drop me a line. The UserboxerComplain/ubx 15:20, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

This user wants the Jewish Autonomous Oblast
to join the the European Union.

[edit] Request

Hi, I was wondering if you could change the wikipedia meetup, Newcastle to a wikipedia meet up in Tyne and Wear, not forgetting the city of Sunderland, just to ease it out a little. Telcourbanio Care for a talk? 21:03, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Ownership of Userboxes

I understand what you're saying. I know all that about ownership of userspace, but the problem is that I never got an edit summary nor an explanation on my talk page as to what was done and why. I don't care if anyone edits my userboxes, I just like an explanation why they did, or if they don't like the way it looks, to tell me on my talk page.

[edit] Commercial use of Image:154273498 f53dff1b41 o d.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:154273498 f53dff1b41 o d.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:154273498 f53dff1b41 o d.jpg is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only" or "used with permission for use on Wikipedia only" which was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19 or is not used in any articles (CSD I3).

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.

If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.

If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:154273498 f53dff1b41 o d.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. If you have any questions about what to do next or why your image was nominated for speedy deletion please ask at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:35, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steve Gilliard and Daily Kos

I became aware of this AfD in response to an ANI report, noticed this link, and noticed you posted there. I have no real interest in the AFD or individual in question (i.e. if it is kept or deleted) but you might want to post there again and let them know that showing up to the debate per the request in that post will very likely have no appreciable effect on the outcome; it just makes more work for the closing admin to wade through numerous opinions from new editors that are not supported. In short, they are probably hurting their chances more than helping them. I'd tell them myself, but I don't particularly feel like going through the trouble of making an account to do so. If you want, you can just cut and past this message over... just as long as they understand I don't speak in any official capacity here, it's just a suggestion from an admin.--Isotope23 14:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Thank you RE Gilliard

Thank you for starting Steve's article and your help through the AfD process. I was devastated by the news of Steve's death, but it has actually been heartening over the past few days to read so many accounts from people like you who were touched by Steve and admired and respected the incredible work he did. He was one of a kind. He will be greatly missed. Thanks again for your help in protecting his memory. Ankles 21:47, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding edits to Lawrence Tierney

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia, One Salient Oversight! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule suicidegirls\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. Please read Wikipedia's external links guidelines for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks!

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:Use finney charles.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Use finney charles.jpg. 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, then 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, then 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:Fair use, 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 06:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Boivie 06:59, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:Hillsong.jpg

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Hillsong.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. —♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 16:39, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Hillsong2.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hillsong2.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. Malkinann 06:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:154273498 f53dff1b41 o d.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Remember the dot (talk) 03:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use disputed for Image:Like a daydream.ogg

Thanks for uploading Image:Like a daydream.ogg. 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 02:30, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Brazil_06.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Brazil_06.jpg. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Garion96 (talk) 21:17, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Perfect Time.ogg

Thank you for uploading Image:Perfect Time.ogg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content.

Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Pillar of fire.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

[edit] G'day

G'day esteemed person who has expressed interest in Sydney based meetups at this page (I hope that's the correct wording for the formal greeting!!). You may have heard that Australia is to have its very own 'chapter' of the Wikimedia Foundation - and further, there's a meeting coming up to discuss / enact the chapter's incorporation (details here). I'm afraid that I don't know too much about the details of what this entails, other than having a private hope that we might get a secret handshake, and maybe cheap coffee at wikimania (this is a poor attempt at humour - I'm sure that the Chapter's do great work, and it's a good thing that Australia is to have one).

If you're interested in meeting up this weekend (the set date is the 20th) - or later, then please do head over here and sign up, or make a comment at the talk page... the drive to create the chapter has largely come from another town in Australia that I'm afraid I haven't actually heard much about.. and anything they can do.... right? - cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 11:11, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Drinks and a wiki chat?

G'day sydneysider - fancy a 'not quite a meetup but a few drinks' sort of thing? - We can chat about the new aussie chapter, the price of eggs and have our very own 2020 Wiki Summit! - or just sink a couple of cold ones and gass bag about the good 'ol days of wiki, when an editor could get some repsect (not a typo)! I've suggested something here so take a look and sign up if you're up for it... cheers, Privatemusings (talk) 02:28, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Space1999_01.jpg

I have tagged Image:Space1999_01.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 22:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] tree kill

I think it is because when you add CO2 to water, it becomes acidic.. so the soil may be too acidic for trees? I'm not 100% sure. hike395 (talk) 02:47, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

The USGS says it is because of a lack of O2 at the roots. Check out http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/fs172-9 hike395 (talk) 02:50, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

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

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:GraduateSpider.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. Ricky81682 (talk) 07:52, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
