[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Europe

Hi, welcome to WP Europe, glad to have you on board. I see you've put an article up for peer-review. Just wondering if you have dropped a note with Wikipedia:WikiProject Bosnia and Herzegovina. Yes it does exist, I didn't think it did at first which is why there are still some bits of the BiH taskforce around. It is perfectly okay for you to use the European peer review though, it is open to all European-related articles, but you might get a more in-depth responce from members of the BiH project. Good luck though, and again: welcome :). - J Logan t: 19:32, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Question

Oo, well I think if it is "free" then it should be okay, but like images we can't just have permission to use on Wikipedia but for all third parties (pref. under GNU licence). However regardless, with text it is easy to get around the whole issue with a quick copyedit, I'll help with that if you want as I have an interest in the topic. - J Logan t: 07:09, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Totally, no copyright on information, just the prose. Shouldn't be much of a problem to rewrite it unless there is an awful lot. If you do find there is too much information, just do the basics and leave the link there and people can expand it over time. - J Logan t: 08:47, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, should be no problem turning them into stubs, hardly got any information. I don't have the time to help right now, but I'll help out as soona s I can on starting the pages up. But I'd suggest a second source be found to fatten them out a bit, I think Amnesty have some good pages. - J Logan t: 16:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About the film "thruth in numbers: the wikipedia story"

Hello U5K0

I created the article about the film on the French language edition on last May and till today nobody has contested its existence. You talk about the strictness of the English Wikipedia's guidelines, but actually I'm not completely sure. Maybe we've keep it on the French version just because there isn't so much people contributing on our project compared to the English one. So I think the more the community is important and the more the chances having people contesting articles or statements are higher. Maybe I'm wrong and maybe you're right, I admit this subjects are questionable.

But as for your article (I mean the article you created, I know it's not actually yours), maybe we can move it to the Wikipedia namespace till the day the film will become famous enough to be on the main namespace (I think it will happen some days before its release, when television and radio stations will talk about it). That's what I did for OmegaWiki which is not yet enough notable to be in the main namespace. 16@r 13:33, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I can do do it for you right now. 16@r 13:44, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Truth in numbers, etc.: Please don't create links from the article space into internal wikipedia's namespaces. `'Míkka 18:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately Wikipedia:Truth in Numbers: The Wikipedia Story does not have enough independent reputable references, so I canot tell you whether it may be made into "real" article. Please keep in mind that blogs, wikis, forums, YouTube, personal websites, etc. do not count towards independent wikipedia:reliable sources. Plus there is a rule Wikpedia is not a crystal ball, and to describe a future event it must be ironclad planned (e.g., releases by major film sturios) or generate significant buzz. The wikipedia story is hardly notable yet, judging by mere 157 unique google hits. In other words, the text does not address the objections stated during the deletion. Anyway, as you may decide this is my opinion only. The place for broad disussisons of the restoration of deleted articles is WP:DRV. `'Míkka 21:56, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re:Truth in numbers article assesment

Hi. The article is pretty good, except for a few things. Parts of it need to be a tad more NPOV. Also, youtube links and other wiki-sites should not be in the refs. Also, I'd prefer a description rather than a directly copy-and-pasted caption for each segment of the video. It would also be a good idea to include a template on the top that this is a sandbox article rather than a full-fledged real article. It'd be good if we got more people to collabrate. Luckily, that video that is displayed at the top on some computers informs people about the documentary. Unfortuneately, a lot of people might only be searching in mainspace and might not find it as easily. I'd suggest a Requests for Feedback to help you get more opinions about how good the article is. I may have been on Wikipedia for more than a year now, but I've still got a lot of learning to do as well. Thanks. ~AH1(TCU) 00:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ESA images

I did it in the easiest way, when I uploaded the image I select any policy and later edit the image to choose the correct one (that you can find in the ESA website or editing the image and coping the codes). Onsly 05:28, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
