[edit] Welcome

Hello Simon, welcome to Wikipedia. Thanks for all your contributions so far. Judging by your user page... you really should get that skin condition looked at!

You might find these links helpful in editing pages or creating new ones: Tutorial, How to edit a page, Naming conventions, Manual of Style. You should probably read our policies at some point too.

But don't feel you have to read every policy document before you do anything. Dive in, be bold in editing, and if you do anything wrong, someone will be quick to correct it and let you know (hopefully, politely!)

If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian. -- ALargeElk | Talk 10:15, 17 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Welcome to the 'pedia! Are you the same guy that used to edit at DMOZ? Ambivalenthysteria 08:46, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, that's me. How'd you notice me on here? I'm pretty new, but love the concept of this thing. I just hope I don't get too addicted like I did with DMOZ; eventually left that because it took up too much time. Did you have a different username on DMOZ? -- SimonEast 09:35, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I'm from Vic too, so I had some of the articles you edited on my watchlist, and recognised the username. I have the same name on DMOZ, but I've hardly edited in about six months. Ambivalenthysteria 11:08, 18 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Nice work with the photos! There's a lot of Melbourne articles in need of them. I need to get my digital camera back - I'd taken nice ones of Flinders Street Station and a couple of other places, and then my brother borrowed and wiped it, and still hasn't given it back. Ambivalenthysteria 10:02, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! Check my contributions to see what I've added (airport, Ashburton station, Swinburne Uni). Got more to come too. I've uploaded them all as "public domain" - I don't mind if they get copied. Is this the best copyright notice to use? — SimonEast 10:05, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)
That's the one. :) Ambivalenthysteria 10:06, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Melbourne articles

Hey there, I don't know if you've checked up on the WikiProject Melbourne recently, but a few of us have decided to adopt an article or two. The idea is to pick a lacking article and "be in charge" of it - do the research, writing, maybe even picture-taking. We're trying to build up the number of qualiy articles, instead of thinly-spread stubs. Don't feel you have to do anything :), but if you want, pick an article and add yourself to the list.

[edit] Universal Serial Bus

The reverts were accidental, I didn't even notice it until you mentioned it. I have reverted myself. The only edits I intended to do was to remove some <small> tags that were making some text too small to read. I think it may of been a problem with MediaWiki, it's been known to revert things accidentally sometimes. Norm 15:25, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Template:SimonEastPhoto

The "high resolution" bit is poorly phrased; I'd recomend changing "-for commercial use this may incur a small fee." to "-commercial use of the high resolution version (although not the version here) may incur a small fee.", or something of the like. Thanks,

[edit] Panorama photos

Hi Simon, I noticed your panorama image of Canberra from Telstra Tower on that page. I noticed the darkness on the sky varies. What software do you use for stitching? I thought I'd suggest to you that you try restitching the image with AutoStitch as I have had much better success with that program than I have for any other. -- Chuq 07:06, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Meetup in March

I see that you are listed as a participant in the WikiProject Melbourne. If you are a Melbourne resident I would appreciate your views on the suggested Meetup in March . Please give some indication of your interest, or otherwise, in the idea. Even a simple "No thanks" with your user name would be welcome and assist in assessing the level of support for a meetup. Thank you.. Cuddy Wifter 06:30, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Panorama of Canberra again

Hi Simon, as did Chuq, I noticed that there were some stitching faults with the panorama. I was wondering if you would be prepared to send me the originals as I may be able to re-stitch with better blending. If so, please leave me a message on my talk page or send me an email (go to my talk page and click on 'email this user' in the toolbox on the left). Thanks in advance.

[edit] AfD nomination of Russell Evans

An editor has nominated Russell Evans, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Russell Evans (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 11:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Brother Yun - The Heavenly Man.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Brother Yun - The Heavenly Man.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

This is an automated notice by FairuseBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. --23:52, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
