[edit] Beyond Divbox

Replied to your comment on Template talk:Divbox#Content/Fact box. — Xiong熊talk* 2005 June 30 09:51 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Constellations

I see that you are listed as a contributor for this project. Because the project is incomplete, I would like to find out what the current plans are for the project. Much work is still needed, particularly for constellations in the southern sky. I believe we need to do the following:

  1. Complete the infobox for each constellation.
  2. Standardise the format for each constellation.

On my user page, I have posted a few ideas for standardisation and I would like some feedback. --  B.d.mills  (T, C)

[edit] Rondane

Hallo Sverdrup, da ich hier Deutsch schreiben darf, werde ich das mal machen. Deutsch fällt mir doch wesentlich leichter als Englisch. Ich habe den Artikel de:Rondane gerade nach Deutsch übersetzt. Vielleicht magst Du ihn Dir ja mal anschauen. Weshalb ich Dir schreibe: Noch fehlen die Bilder. Magst Du vielleicht Deine Bilder auf die Wikimedia-Commons hochladen? Ich könnte es zwar auch, aber ich finde es besser, wenn ich mich da nicht mit fremden Federn schmücke. Daher wollte ich es Dir überlassen, auch auf Commons der Hochlader zu sein. Danke, --Elwe 13:31, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Thankees!

Thank you so very much for your Wikipreview.html... That seems to be exactly what I'm looking for.  :) You might want to tell Pilaf about it, I'm sure he'd find it useful... Almafeta 10:44, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

You are welcome; it's really Pilaf's work all of it, the parser being the most important component. I've already told him about it. Please tell me about any problems/bugs there might be, though. It have not exactly tested it thoroughly. — Sverdrup 10:48, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Changing the Announcement and Goings-on page

Thank you for responding to my request to change the Wikipedia:Announcements and Wikipedia:Goings-on pages (see Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)#Announcements and Goings-on. But I would like your opinion about the steps needed to change the Goings-on page, its new design, and how to advertise it to the community. Thank you. CG 18:02, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bilder

Denna bild sv:Bild:User-Sverdrup-2004-04.jpg saknar källa och licens. Märk den gärna, då bilder utan märkning kan den komma att raderas. Mvh Elinnea 11:48, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

hej hej jag heter cooper gillan. jag är amerikansk, men jag har studerat svenska. jag skriver bara för att fråga dig om bilden på ikeas sida. var ligger butiken på bilden? det är en fint bild! jag var i jönköping i januari till maj. jag har en kompis som bor i kristianstad och jag har en skåne flag!! hoppas att allt är bra. hejdå. NPPyzixBlan 21:14, September 10, 2005 (UTC)

hej, tack för meddelandet. a, du tänkte rätt, bilden som du hade var bilden jag menade. jag frågade om den bara därför att jag tyckte att det var lite konstigt att se en ikea utan blå och gul, eller hur? jag har mycket ikea på min lägenhet, och det finns mycket ikea på mitt universitet. hej, tycker du om dungen? de är svensk och min kompis frågade mig en gång om jag kunde förstå texter, men....hehe, inte så mycket. jag försöker. jag har en amerikansk kompis som studerade på lunds universitet för tre år sedan, och hon älskade lund. men alla älskar sverige, eller hur?? tack och hejdå. NPPyzixBlan 23:27, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

Hej Sverdup Den fina rondanebilden på flakksfjellet, nu har jag försökt göra så att man kan se att det är jag som har tatt den, inte du, men jag fattar inte hur man gör. Inte för att det spelar någon roll eller så, rent licensmässigt är den din. Jag har abra fruktansvärt tråkigt och lång håltimme. // Sverdrup d.y

Jeje, jag har fixat det. On a related note, har jag 100Mbit anslutning nu XD. ❝Sverdrup❞ 14:44, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Martian longitude

In your edit summary to Olympus Mons, you said, "226 E?? there are only 180 of those, so the link doesn't work. Fixed to 134 W, verified that the link works and displays olympus mons in the applet." On Mars, longitude ranges from 0° to 360°--eastward or westward, depending on your mood. For instance, see Image:MarsTopoMap-PIA02031 modest.jpg

"You can now view the coordinates for Mars in two different systems: planetographic latitude with longitude increasing to the west, or planetocentric latitude with longitude increasing to the east. Both systems are approved for use on Mars by the International Astronomical Union (Seidelmann and others 2002).
"Planetographic latitude with west longitude is the system that has traditionally been used for Mars, and was previously the only system used on this web site. Planetocentric latitude with east longitude has been adopted for use by the USGS and other organizations for use in making future Mars maps and imagery (Duxbury and others 2002)."

—wwoods 17:56, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification! Unfortunately the link didn't work (the link to the kvaleberg map sources) with 226° E, so we had to change it. I hope it's no big deal as both sets of coordinates describe the same spot, with different but accepted standards. — Sverdrup 11:02, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

Sorry about that ... LeRoi was right, some red categories ought to stay that way. -- ProveIt (talk) 15:40, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Allright, I hear that. I don't have much to add then I guess :) I just wanted to make sure everybody could make new category schemes, regardless of what we already have (well not totally regardless perhaps). ❝Sverdrup❞ 15:43, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] long articles

Thank you for your comments. I am, of course, not trying to own articles, and am well aware of the "editing mercilessly" policy. I was thinking merely of maintaining internal stability in an article while I am in the white-hot throes of creation. It was only a hypothetical question anyway!--Anthony.bradbury 20:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Soil

Know you will be interested in this. The current content is very USA centric, but can be managed. The project would certainly benefit from your international perspective. -- Paleorthid 06:23, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Economy of Africa

Hi, you were a contributor to this article, which is on the verge of being delisted as a FA. Can you return to help? Urgently requires inline citations and enhanced information in a few places. It's been copy-edited nicely by Peirigill. Tony 04:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks ..

.. for your endorsement. It's going to be a tough election (16 candidates and one seat), but I think it's worth a shot. :-)--Eloquence* 11:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Double redirect

Hello, your page m:User:Sverdrup2/monobook.css at Meta is listed as a double redirect. Can you please change it from #REDIRECT User:Sverdrup/monobook.css to #REDIRECT User:Sverdrup/oldcss .

[edit] baseball color line

In this edit, you wrote

"any club including one or more colored persons."

Whom were you quoting? Please see talk:baseball color line. Apparently your information contradicts information added later, and the article has been that way for a long time. Michael Hardy 02:12, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

That's a hard question! I can't remember, but I have searched around now; I can find something like that quoted at [1], where it says "any club which may be composed of one or more colored persons." I can't say for sure if this was my original source and/or if I modified the quote. I don't think the truth of the statement is at risk, but finding sources is always good (as we think now two years later. Sourcing statements wasn't practice at all in 2004). ❝Sverdrup❞ 15:36, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] commons:Image:Cyclohexane-structure3.png

Hello, i just move this image on Commons. Some french user want to create http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Cyclohexane.PNG but there are a stupid license incompatibility. What do you think about releasing your image in both GFDL and CC-BY-SA-2.5. Have you a Commons account ? And can you update the image description with it ? Thanks a lot. Please say me what you want to do. ~ fr:user:bayo 193.248.39.8 00:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I fixed that. I marked it as PD on commons, since that sounds like the simplest solution for now. ❝Sverdrup❞ 19:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)q

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:U-Svdp.png

Thank you for uploading Image:U-Svdp.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Shyam (T/C) 10:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New glider image

Hello, Sverdrup! What do you think of replacing Image:GameOfLife.GIF with Image:Animated glider emblem.gif on the pages where it's used, and then being able to "retire" (i.e., delete) GameOfLife.GIF? (As you can tell, I like to keep things simple. :) --Quuxplusone 07:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Well I shouldn't be the deciding factor here, but I think your image is much better, particularly for use in articles. While perhaps not as clear, my "clipped" version is a bit confusing. You can delete the old one if you want to, but I see there is one use of it here too: User:Green meklar/Userboxes. Regards, ❝Sverdrup❞ 15:23, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rondane

Hi Sverdrup! I just wanted to tell you that I'm translating the article Rondane National Park, and I'm going to postulate it at featured articles. You can see it here.
