Hi, thanks for helping update FNBDT->SCIP. The best way to rename pages is with the "move" command (in the top toolbar), rather than cutting and pasting. The reason is that the history gets lost if you cut and paste (it's OK now, I've gone and fixed it). — Matt Crypto 13:48, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, still new at wiki. --Terry 11:49, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vinson

Hey Matt, so for each piece of gear under the Vinson family, SCIP family, ANDVT, etc. should I add them each to the list? if so that list will grow rather big. Just wondering since I am still a noob here. --Terry 17:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

My thoughts are that, at least for the time being, the cipher machines "navbox" can cope with a link to each separate article that we have on cipher machines. There might come a time where we have so many articles that the box becomes ridiculously unwieldy (moreover, I hope that happens!); we might contemplate trimming it at that point, and losing the individual VINSON articles would make sense. I think it's probably OK for the short-term, though. — Matt Crypto 17:54, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Ok, sounds good. I plan to add little by little as I get time. Also, do we need a SEE ALSO with the Nav bar having the same links? --Terry 18:39, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Yeah, maybe not...although in the KY-58 article, it gives the KY-57 link more prominence (it could otherwise be easily missed in the mass of other links in the navbox). Good work on finding the PD picture, by the way. — Matt Crypto 20:56, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
Thanks, I have plenty more to come. Helps being on the Navy's Secure Voice team. --Terry 00:49, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Virginia Beach

Thanks for the help. I try to keep an eye on articles of this type and we can always improve them, eh? P.S. We could use an article on Ft. Story. I can't find much information, though. I did write one on Cape Henry. Mark in Virginia Vaoverland 01:36, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

Yea, keeping an eye out myself. As I get time I update what I can, should be able to find plenty on Ft. Story.

You might also keep an eye out for anything on "Wash Woods" near Back Bay, one of the Lost counties, cities and towns of Virginia. Mark in Historic Triangle, Vaoverland 20:17, September 7, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Utopia (online game)

Thanks for revising the Utopia (online game) changes I made, you made it sound so much better.

I'd like to explain that while "the leading Utopia fansite" wording for the Utopia Temple description may sound biased, I used it because I've yet to see another (rivaling) Utopia fan site that is more popular, provides more gameplay information, tools, interviews with the Utopia admin, or has even 10% of their (UT's) number of registered users.

Hey, I hoped I helped make it a little clearer. I am not a great writer myself. As for the "leading"; I always try and not saying leading, number 1, top, etc. because that can be seen as objective and relative to some individuals while others may argue it sucks. Personally, I agree with you that it is the leading fansite of all the sites and if you were to "re-add" "leading" with something in Utopia:Talk explaining it I promise to leave it as is. But I would ask to see if there was not another way to put it, like saying "A large Utopia fansite" or "The most used" or "The Utopia fansite with the largest userbase" which can be supported by empirical (sp?) numbers. Again though, if you re-add "Leading" I wont bitch. --Terry 14:34, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
Nah don't worry about it, I see where you're coming from and it's really not -that- big of a deal. Thanks for your input. --Starfriend 16:49:19, 2005-09-08 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Yes, sadly. If you dig around, you'll see that many Metro stations ave their own entry. Dottore So 17:48, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nostalgia

Wow, Terry. I just clicked on your user page after seeing your name in the GordonWatts RfA discussion. I just wanted to tell you that the photo you've got there of that KY-58 brought back a flood of memories for me. If you ever get the desire to make a whole line of articles on crypto devices, let me know so that I can help out. Cheers, Fernando Rizo T/C 20:02, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep looking on my Contribs, you will see that I have already started adding crypto articles and updating ones that are already on here. I have been slack in the last week or so as I am plowing through the wiki world here and trying to figure out the ins and outs of it. Very massive and amazing it is.

Just thought I'd say that I thought it was good of you to try and keep the bad feelings down over there. Keep up the good work. --Blackcap | talk 06:28, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, I did not see the point on the bickering to continue on. Terry T | @ | C 11:12, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bogdanov talk page spiraling into chaos

maybe that's a little hyperbole, but i doubt there is any movement toward consensus. i, for one, have become even more convinced that the Bogdanoff's, their sock puppets, or fans, are fundamentally dishonest people and there is no way a factual and accurate article will be accepted by them. Terry, did you maybe get yourself into a little mess?

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Svm_medal.jpg

Warning sign
This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Svm_medal.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --OrphanBot 10:23, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:KY-58.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:KY-58.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 19:17, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
