[edit] Nephew

Thanks for getting an Nephew page back up after the usual crowd of know-nothing US rednecks deleted it while I was off on my holidays.:) Mvh Sjc 11:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Wikipedia_in_webcomics

Thanks for correcting (deleting) my entry. I misunderstood the section heading, taking it to mean "Webcomics (i.e. entire collections of strips) that were not about WIkipedia, but mentioned it in passing". Wdfarmer 06:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Infosphere link

I saw your edit on the Into the Wild Green Yonder article, that you changed the article link from an interwiki link to an external domain. I originally forgot to check the history and assumed that someone was tired of the old domain (futurama.overt-ops.com) I assume someone have precision'ed the link. However, since that was not the case, and I did not feel like making a "ninja" edit to explain that in a new summary, I am explaining myself here. While some of our content may non-free (such as images from the show), our text content are released under a Creative Commons license, something which an encouraged part of an interwiki link.

Remember that in order for our wiki even to become an interwiki link, it must fulfil some requirements (as described here and here). Since it went through that due to (A) it had content of relevance to the Wikimedia Foundation, (B) it was regularity updated and had a moderate amount of content, (C) had CC license and non-profit and (D) did not (and does not) contain anything illegal, it can be considered a useful Interwiki link for anything Futurama related. Your summary suggests that it is not a Wikimedia site, which is true, but so isn't Wikia, and they are linked to quite often (through interwiki links), among other sites.

Consider this my defence for "reverting" your edit. --Svip^pong 00:19, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

The wiki in question carries the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 license. By the Wikimedia Foundation's standards, this is a non-free license (because it prohibits use of the work for commercial purposes).

Incidentally, I also have argued against interwiki linking (in articles) to Wikia wikis and all other non-Wikimedia sites. It just so happens that this case is more straightforward (due to the non-free license). —David Levy 18:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Where on Wikipedia does it say that it won't use interwiki links to non-free material? Where in the entire Wikimedia foundation is interwiking to non-free material against the rules? I have not seen these rules, and if these rules exist somewhere, I'd like to see them. Even if they are only guidelines. --Svip^pong 18:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not aware of any formal rules. But whenever the subject of interwiki linking to non-Wikimedia sites in articles is raised, the "supporting free content" argument is the commonly cited rationale for doing it (and even that lacks consensus). —David Levy 18:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] question

hey, you said you have access to the data for all the cars in gta4. i was wondering if you could somehow search that data and tell me if a car exists called an "e109". in a stategy guide it mentions that one of the girlfriends prefers this car, though at gtaforums.com no one has heard of it. please reply here. thanks! 202.156.66.110 (talk) 15:04, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I suggest you try this list: http://www.gta4.net/vehicles/. That list is generated from that specific file, if that car is not listed there, then the strategy guide is wrong. Sorry. --Svip^pong 20:08, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
