[edit] Re: Category:Cricketers
Thanks for your message, Portnadler. I'm not sure what the right answer is though. Can I suggest you ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Cricket? I'm sure some people there will have an opinion. Stephen Turner (Talk) 17:50, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brown
There was a new article title Ernest S. Brown that looked like a school report or something, with some confusion over the name, so I put a merge on it. But it was actually copyvio of a Brown biography from another site, so it got deleted. Thanks for pointing that out; I removed the merge tag.--ragesoss 20:03, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Ernest_William_Brown.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Ernest_William_Brown.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).
The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.
Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator.
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you have questions about copyright tagging of images, post on Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags or User talk:Carnildo/images. 04:26, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism on Retrograde (disambiguation)
I presume the current contents of Retrograde (disambiguation) are work in progress. If so, I'll leave it to you to remove the vandalism. --Portnadler 10:07, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- I removed the vandalism but no, I hadn't actually intended that to be a work in progress. The Rod (☎ Smith) 17:57, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Foucault pendulum
Hi Portnadler,
I have noticed that you take an interest in planetary mechanics and the subject of precession.
I have recently completed a major addition to the Foucault pendulum article. The information that I added has been published in peer reviewed articles, but since the information that I have added is relatively unknown, some people may be surprised by what they read.
Can you please check out the article? Best case scenario would be that your finding is that the information is correct, that newtonian mechanices has been applied correctly, and that you endorse the article. Worst case scenario would be that you disagree with my additions. I'll take my chances, I want to get some action going. --Cleonis | Talk 09:59, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From 2006 Atlantic hurricane season
[edit] Should Zeta be here?
There seems to be something of an edit war going on about whether Tropical Storm Zeta (2005) should be included here. IMHO, it was part of the 2005 season, so it shouldn't. However, a compromise might be to have a placeholder with a link to the 2005 Atlantic hurricane season on this page. --Portnadler 09:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- Please look at the archives. We've had this discussion for AGES, and consensus is that a small section remains. I've removed the section at the main talk page and archived it because there is no need to re-ignite the whole stink. – Chacor 10:35, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
- This is true. It got bad enough that it was added to WP:LAME. There is a constant fear that it could reignite anytime a new member joins in to the tropical cyclone wikiproject. Semantic arguments are the worst. Thegreatdr 21:05, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Zola Budd
Hi, I believe from the history page that you sourced the picture for the article on Zola Budd.
I attempted to find the original on the www.iaaf.org website to see if it too was corrupted (see my comments here), but I was unable to find it.
Would you mind assisting?

[edit] Wine Project activity
This is a friendly note to let you know that you have been moved to the Inactive members page of the Wine Project. Users are moved to this page when two months have passed without any Wikipedia activity or 3 months have passed without any contribution to a wine related article. The intent of the Participant list is to function as a resource for other editors wishing to get in contact with wine project members for comments or question on Wikipedia's wine article. The goal of this process is to try and maintain the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wine/Participants as current and up to date as possible with active and contributing members. Please note that this is not intended to be a negative reflection on your Wikipedia or wine related contribution and it is well known that sometimes outside life can take editors away from Wikipedia for some time. You will always be welcomed to rejoined the Wine Project should you feel that the time is right. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me on my talk or on the Wine Project talk page. Best wishes. AgneCheese/Wine 22:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Zola budd86a.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Zola budd86a.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
- On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Polly (Parrot) 14:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
