The content that I removed from this page is already discussed in Khatri page. Punjabi Shaikh are a clan of Khatris tribe/caste and thier history is already discussed in detail. This page provides info on only Punjabi Shaikh clan while providing links to other pages. Siddiqui 16:56, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Acciaccatura notation.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Acciaccatura notation.png. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 03:05, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reverts

The article was reverted because another article was merged into it without proper consultation; I have restored the original article, and was reverting the merger (and was about to request the editor who originally merged to discuss the issue). Michaelsanders 16:09, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Brookgreen Gardens

Now take a look. Sectioned the pictures into different groups: Stone Sculptures, Metal Sculptures, Bontanical, Flowers, etc. > with then additional pages for the additional pictures. --Doug talk 16:31, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Abram Bowman Kolb

I removed content from Abram Bowman Kolb because of unitentional copyright violations. -- Loaves 22:26, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


[edit] San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus

You tagged the San Francisco Gay Men's Chorus page for clean up but I don't see any details provided. Please let me know what needs cleaning up. FYI, I am in the process of updating some of the links. Thank you MusicMen 21:51, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Your suggestions have been implemented and clean up tag removed. MusicMen 23:15, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the map.

Hey, just wanted to say thanks for making the SVG map. With some help from the technical village pump I figured out what the problem was, the image contained a (unused) reference to the original GIF image. For security reasons MediaWiki refuses to render images that contain any external links. I opened it up in a text editor, removed the reference and re-uploaded the image and now it works :) --Sherool (talk) 12:46, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Another map a little improved

FYI: Your Image:EuropeMajorReligions.png now exists as a slightly improved version at wikimedia commons. Rursus 19:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Molecular models

Hi Sbrools.

I noticed just today that you've been adding quite a few images of molecules to articles in WP. This is excellent! I'd like to introduce you to the Chemistry Wikiproject - perhaps you'd like to join. If so, you'd be very welcome.

I also add loads of molecular models to Wikipedia, and I have a few tips to share with you:

  • It looks like you're using Accelrys DS Visualizer to create your 3D images. How about using this colour palette? It's what most Wikipedia chemists are using, so it'd mean we all used the same colour scheme - good for readers, so they don't get confused.
  • In DS Visualizer, go Edit > Preferences > 3D Window > Lighting. There you can create rather nice lighting effects. In my experience, a good solid appearance is generated when I rotate the white light to the top left of the sphere, then add the darkest (bottommost) colour light and move it to the bottom right.
  • Again in DS Visualizer, always make sure hydrogen atoms are added. 3D models are not skeletal formulae! You can do this easily by pressing the add hydrogens button whose symbol is just an H. You can also get the (usually!) correct geometry and bond lengths by clicking the clean geometry button. This is really useful.
  • Consider adding your images directly to the Wikimedia Commons, where they can be used in all Wikimedia projects (Wikipedias of all languages, Wikibooks, etc.)

I look forward to adding some great images to chemistry articles with you

Cheers

Your images are looking amazing! Fantastic job. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help you in your quest to illustrate WP.
See you around

[edit] 3D Mols!

Hey man, thanks for doing 3D mols on the phenethylamines! Perhaps you could tackle a few of the tryptamines (5-MeO-DMT plz) next? Also, enjoy Boston in the fall!

[edit] 3D-pics

Nice job making 3-D chem structures for a bunch of psychedelics (ex. Dimethyltryptamine, the 2C family, etc.). Do you think you could make some for the rest of the chemicals of Shulgin's PiHKAL? It would be a great help. -Use the force (Talk * Contribs) 02:38, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3D images of inorganics

Hi SB,

To make lattices such as lithium iodide, you need information on its crystal structure.

One of the best places to download such information is here. Search for a mineral my name or chemical composition (type (Na,Cl)- to search for minerals containing only Na and Cl). You'll usually get several options. Choose carefully, because there are often crystal structures under extreme conditions there. If you're making an illustration for an article on stibnite, for example, you'll want to show the structure at room temperature and pressure. You won't want to choose the 1000 K, 20 GPa structure!

  • First check the file you have chosen is what you actually want - click View JMOL 3-D Structure
  • If you're happy with it, click Download CIF data to get the unit cell.
  • Open the .cif file in DS Visualizer - you'll see the unit cell marked out with grey lines
  • Render it as ball-and-stick or polyhedra
  • To make the lines of the unit cell disappear, press ctrl+D and select the cell tab - then click hide or something
  • To extend the structure in 1, 2 or 3 dimensions, open Structure > Crystal Cell > Edit Parameters > Preferences tab > View Range - A is the number of unit cells along the x-axis, B is the number along the y-axis and C along the z-axis
  • Voilà

There are also quite a few inorganics here, although these are not available as unit cells - they're just pseudo-molecules. You can't make them extend to dimensions of your choice.

[edit] Image:2C-B-3d-sticks.png

This image has NH2 group at position 4 where it should be Br. I have removed the image from 2C-B page. After the image has been drawn the way it should be feel free to putit back. - Boris 20:50, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3D pics

Nice job adding all those 3D pics for PiHKAL drugs, keep up the good work! -Use the force (Talk * Contribs) 00:59, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

What do you use to make the 3D pics? I use chemsketch but they do not like as nice. Morninggloryseed 03:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Some structural innacuracies

Hey, what's up. Just noticed the melatonin structure needs a tune up. The indole ring is missing is double bond between the 2 and 3 positions. they both just have an extra hydrogen atom makin 'em sp3 instead of sp2. In investigating this i noticed unfortunately that all of your indole/tryptamine based structures are innacurate in this regard. They are beautiful structures, and I've overlooked the errors for quite some time now. Just noticed and thought I'd let you know in case you'd like to correct. Check out the Indole page to see the full aromaticity of these structures. Do you use QuteMol to render these ? Peace, and nice work on populating these pages with 3d structures. Ccroberts 03:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Structure problems

Hi Sbrools, all your older tryptamine structures are wrong, they are in fact indolines. Also, all 2C-N, BOHD, sumatriptan, and melatonin structures. Image:5-MeO-DMT-3d-sticks.png is stretched. Please could you correct these or remove them. Please could you also check all your uploads for mistakes. Thanks, Cacycle 13:36, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Repeat... See previous comment Ccroberts( t · c · g ) 21:59, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
I'll try to get around to it, I'm kinda swamped right now. Sbrools (talk . contribs) 23:42, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey there. I don't mean to pile it on, but your 3D structure of naratriptan is missing the nitrogen in the indole ring :) Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 03:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
OK, looks great now. Thanks for the speedy action! Fvasconcellos (t·c) 03:26, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I've noticed some edits on pages relating to the Three Village Central School District. Did you go to any of these schools? Also I'm working to improve these articles so any information you have will be appreciated. P.S. I go to Murphy :D Compwhiz II(Talk)(Contribs) 19:07, 24 January 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Non-free use disputed for Image:AdultSwim.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:AdultSwim.svg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Collectonian (talk) 05:52, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
