[edit] Yemen

No I'm sorry I don't know much about Yemen, all I did was creating the article with information from the official Doha 2006 website. Cheers, SportsAddicted | discuss 00:42, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heck, now why didn't I see that before.......

Rebskii thanks for joining wikiproject dinosaurs - the next cab off the rank is Triceratops, which requires considerably more work than dippy I'm afraid. On the collaboration page there is a vote for which article everyone would get stuck into next. Group editing on these things is cool as it relly blows Writer's Block out of the way. cheers Cas Liber 20:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi RebSkii!

The template thingy you made looks really neat. I like how it summarises everything that's happening that's been happening lately. As Diplodocus has just reached Featured Article status, that part will need updating. Still, something like this could be really useful. Where do you think you'd like to put it? Firsfron of Ronchester 20:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I like the look of it too Cas Liber 20:19, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Malaysian medals

Hi Rebskii, thanks for contacting me. I'm not the world's leading expert in Malaysian success at the Asian Games, but having had a quick look over the net, I'd go with the Olympic Council of Asia website. I've seen a more references for two medals than I have for three. As long as you add a citation to the source you're using, I don't think you can go wrong. Hope that helps.

[edit] Malasia

Hi Rebskii! Thanks for your note. In my opinion, you should be bold. Remove the sentences, or better yet, modify them so they comply with Wikipedia's MOS and NPOV policy. Explain why you made the changes on the talk page, but only if you think these changes may be controversial. They don't seem controversial to me. Happy editing! :) Firsfron of Ronchester 18:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Triceratops

Hi RebSkii!

The issues you have raised at Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Triceratops have, as far as I can tell, been addressed or fixed (depending on the objection). If you have time, please take another look. Thanks for your comments. Best wishes, Firsfron of Ronchester 16:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi RebSkii!

What's wrong with "more erect horns"? I had toyed with the idea of changing the sentence to "His reasoning was that males had horns which were taller and more erect", but then that leaves the sentence like: "His reasoning was that males had horns which were taller and more erect and larger skulls, and females had smaller skulls with shorter, forward-facing horns." which seems awkward to me. Another option is "His reasoning was that males had larger skulls and horns which were taller and more erect, and females had smaller skulls with shorter, forward-facing horns." I'll switch it to whichever one you prefer. Any suggestions here? :) Firsfron of Ronchester 03:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey RebSkii,

Thanks for your note, as always. "More erect" seems ok, as it's used in this AAAS paper, in this Scientific American article, in this science abstract, as part of this science abstract, etc. "Less erect" also appears in this scientific paper, this Science News article, this paper, etc, etc. A google search for "less erect"+"science" gets over 9000 hits for the term. Unless I'm missing something, "less erect" is a valid usage. Firsfron of Ronchester 01:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

i appreciate your effort citing evidences to prove that my statements are misleading. i believe i'm the one missing something, since i stated that there is no such thing as "less erect". now, i'm objecting to the use of the term: erect. because if it can be more erect, it has to have some kind of a flaccid state. okay, my nose is erect, (it has a bone) but it can never be flaccid, if you get what i mean (so it can never be less erect or more erect it can only be broken :) ). i'm also objecting to the way this article's nomination was made. it is a part of a collaboration, it was peer reviewed, but, it has no good article status (which should have polished it). cheers! --RebSkii 16:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi RebSkii,

Thanks for your note. Articles which are Featured do not first have to have been Good Articles. The only requirements are listed at Wikipedia:Featured article criteria. I don't want to continue the discussion on "more/less erect", as I've included multiple links above which indicate it's a valid usage. If you can think of better terminology, feel free to update the page, as I trust your judgement. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 16:53, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

What about "horns in a more erect position"? That sounds a little bit better, but I thought I'd suggest it anyway... :) Spawn Man 22:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Olympic Rings image

Hey, just wanted to let you know that I've removed the Olympic Rings image from your page because we can't have a Fair Use image on a user page. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! tiZom_(2¢) 21:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, since you're actively involved in WikiProject Olympics, might I suggest the new userbox User:UBX/WikiProject Olympics? tiZom_(2¢) 21:29, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagalog basketball kit transparency

Hi there A couple of months ago you left a message for me regarding transparency problems in the Tagalog basketball kit template. I just read it, and after tracking down through several levels, I found the problem in the Superimpose template. Take a look here: Philippines National Basketball Team (in Tagalog!).

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Aiba logo.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Aiba logo.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Orry the pitcher.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Orry the pitcher.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) 20:08, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tagalog Wikipedia

Finally, Wikipedia is the 7^th most visited site in the Philippines. Then why is it that the Tagalog Wikipedia, the Wikipedia in your own language remains unknown to most of the Filipinos? The mission of this campaign is to change that. Will you join us?
