Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that recently you carried out a copy and paste page move from Jimmy Cumbes.

Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. — madman bum and angel 19:57, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

I meant to give you this when I did the review...
I was well impressed with the work of the editors when I did the Manchester GA Review. So..

Fun and Awesomeness
Hey Onnaghar! Yes so far so good. I've been doing some copy edits on a number of articles, and havn't had any conflicts yet! (An accomplishment!) Hopefully things continue to go smoothly. -Campanile 00:44, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Rock Machine I Love You (sampler)
Hi, I've just seen your comment on the above page. I'm currently working, when time permits, through all the samplers I'm aware of, and adopting the convention that to avoid confusion with similarly titled albums, these pages should have the album title followed by "(sampler)". "Fill Your Head With Rock", for example is both a sampler and a 2005 album by Kim Mitchell. I'll be adding redirects & dabs when necessary. Cheers --Rodhullandemu 23:50, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Manchester
It is a nice picture but I think it is maybe a bit dark and isn't really a landmark in Manchester. We have been struggling to choose a pic for the infobox for some time now and the previous one was one I took from the top floor of the Free Trade Hall in my hotel room. I think we should start another discussion about what really says Manchester more than anything. I can take pics anytime as I am in Manchester every day now but I only have a 3.2MP digital camera or a 2MP camera phone. Any thoughts on where would be the greatest place to take a picture in Manchester? └and-rew┘┌talk┐ 16:38, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- Is that image by Aidan taken from a publicly accessable location in Old Trafford? I think if it was landscape it would look pretty nice and would include the City Tower in it though I am not sure if you will be able to see the half painted side from there? I recently stayed in the Piccadilly Jarvis hotel in one of the refurbished rooms on the top floor and had great views of Piccadilly gardens here. If we used the gardens image I think it would be too much like the Birmingham infobox though. └and-rew┘┌talk┐ 16:55, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
License of xkcd comics
Hello Onnaghar, you have uploaded two xkcd comics, Image:The Problem with Wikipedia.png and Image:Wikiprotest.png. Their license is "Creative Commons Attribution 2.5". On the homepage of xkcd however, Randall Munroe releases them under the "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial 2.5" license which is not acceptable for use on Wikipedia, because commercial use is forbidden. The FAQ also explains, that you need a permission for commercial use which is incompatible with free licenses such as CC-BY-2.5. So here's my question: Did you ask for permission about those images and did Randall Munroe really agreed to release them under "Creative Commons Attribution 2.5"? I personally asked him via Email and on the forum of xkcd to release some comics under a less restrictive license, but unfortunately I did not get any response. It'd be great to have some 'real free' xkcd images so that Wikipedias without fair use can also profit (like my german article about xkcd). Thanks you in advance --Church of emacs 17:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- I uploaded the Image:The Problem with Wikipedia.png image and released it under the 2.5 license which you mentioned. The other image "WikiProtest" or something, I didn't upload, that was by Mike33. I presumed the license he uploaded the image under was correct, and so I assumed the same license information and details as it. I'm sorry if this causes any sort of confusion, but that is why the image GFDL may be incorrect. Thanks for your time. Onnaghar talk ! ctrb 18:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- I moved your note on my talkpage here so that we don't divide the discussion into two pieces. Thanks for letting me know that the second picture wasn't uploaded by you... I will contact Mike33 soon, though it seems that he claims to have asked Randall Munroe. You said, you "released" Image:The Problem with Wikipedia.png under the "Creative Commons Attribution 2.5". However, only the author and copyright owner, Randall Munroe can do that. Without his approval, the license does not change from CC-BY-Noncommercial to CC-BY with commercial use permitted. --Church of emacs 19:02, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, I understand. However, please note the image Mike33 uploaded was the first. Onnaghar talk ! ctrb 15:04, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- I changed the license to 'fair use', see Image:The Problem with Wikipedia.png. --Church of emacs 15:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
DH RfA
If a question is optional, I think it should remain just that. You can't call him rude and unpredictable just because he chooses not to answer it. Asking someone about dinner is not really optional, is it? If you don't answer, then you are ignoring the person, which is rude. But consider it in another light, if I were to say Onnaghar, this is totally optional, but do you mind giving me your opinion on religion? If you didn't answer, I wouldn't consider you rude, nor unpredictable. After all, it was your option to abstain. Perhaps you can see where I was coming from when I inserted my unnecessary sarcasm. And don't let my behavior influence how you vote at RfA. It is much better to have an opinion spark a discussion then to simply stamp another pile-on oppose. Your opinion is valued, even by me, even if I don't agree. the_undertow talk 23:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
- I actually think your argument was fine, just not my cup of tea. Besides, it wasn't your oppose that brought out the jackass in me, it was the entire RfA which was a giant circus. I suppose I simply added to the freakshow. Keep doing what you are doing. You are doing fine. Carry on. the_undertow talk 23:45, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Your edit
Of course you can buddy! lol. I reverted it because you said that Wales and Scotland are included in the UK. Because they are included, there's no need to add them to the chart section seeing as the UK charts consist of England's, Wales's, Scotland's and Northern Ireland's chart results. If you wanted to add the Republic of Ireland, that'd be fine as it's not included in the UK. Peace,

Edit: Taken from the page on Wikipedia about the United Kingdom: "The United Kingdom is a parliamentary democracy and a constitutional monarchy comprising four constituent countries — England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales" —Preceding unsigned comment added by ViperBlade (talk • contribs) 21:12, 28 September 2007 (UTC) Oh, my bad. I assumed you had done them seeing as your name was on the last edit section. Peace,

Thanks for reminding me about a 'to do' job. All the population templates are now updated to 2006 figures.--Keith Edkins ( Talk ) 19:02, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Manchester B&S Template
Hey, your new template for buildings and structures in Manchester is great but it does not contain the MEN Arena. I just wondered if you thought it should be in lowrise, major complexes or sports venues as it fits all of them? Thanks. └and-rew┘┌talk┐ 18:46, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
