From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hi, PEHowland, good work on removing the vandalism from War. In the future, though, you should check the page history; we nearly lost most of the introduction there. Melchoir 06:05, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Radars

Thanks for articles the radars from Pardubice. While I have absolutely no clue about the technology details the general info looks all OK (I am from nearby). Pavel Vozenilek 09:31, 24 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Request for edit summary

Thank you for your contributions. And I have a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries more often when you contribute. An edit summary helps others understand what you changed when checking the watchlist or the recent changes, and often times complements studying the diff. Think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. I hope you don't mind. :) Cheers – Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 02:54, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information about Ilmari Karonen's edit

Hi,

Don't feel offended by Ilmari Karonen's edit of your user page. All he did was mark the template of User atheist by one that said the page no longer existed. Now as this one is no longer valid, you should stop using this template. For your benefit, I am deleting it from your user page.

I would suggest you to go through the following article: assume good faith.

Also, I feel that in the future, you might find this article useful: Hanlon's Razor.

Cheers,

Actually, I didn't even do that. I fixed the User evol-4 box that had also been deleted, but I (my script, actually) missed the atheist box. Sorry about that. I would've fixed that one too if I'd noticed that it had been deleted. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 12:40, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Your atheist userbox has been restore and substed. Have a nice day. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 14:40, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Ah OK, I understand. I missed that fact your script had fixed a deleted Evolution userbox and instead saw a load of "deleted page" stuff instead, which coincidentally appeared due to the deletion of the Atheist template at the same time. Thanks for your efforts. Paul 20:07, 21 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Image Tagging Image:SilurianMorris.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SilurianMorris.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sherool (talk) 22:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

I created the content, so I have tagged the image appropriately. Thanks for the heads up. Paul 17:38, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia_talk:Censorship

A watered-down version of the proposed policy against censorship is now open for voting. Will you kindly review the policy and make your opinions known? Thank you very much. Loom91 12:16, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Kolchuga

Hi Paul, You are sure the formula: d=130(\sqrt{hr(km)}+\sqrt{ht(km)}) that you indicated in Kolchuga passive sensor article is correct for any type of transmitter receiver pair. Can you give some references for it? Thanks. --Feel 22:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:ElmarOliveira1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:ElmarOliveira1.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 (talk) 19:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
