[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:PS3XMBNew.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:PS3XMBNew.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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.

[edit] Re: Protection to user page

Hi, W Tanoto!

There are two types of protection:

full-protection prevents everyone, except admins from editing (you will not be able to edit your userpage if it is fully-protected.
Semi-protection prevents unregistered and newly registered users from editing (with this your can still edit your userpage)

Non-admins that wish to protect their user pages must request protection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection. You will need to tell them what type of protection you want (full or semi) and the reason you want your page to be protected. Here's the user page protection guidelines in case you want to read more about the guidelines for protecting user pages.

Good luck! Jecowa 19:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome

Hey, thanks for joining, welcome to the project. Imo eng 22:53, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you could help improve the Magelang article? It would be appreciated - welcome as well - Satu Suro 23:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for welcoming me. I actually joined by adding userbox a long time ago, but haven't add my name until yesterday. I'll see what I can do with Magelang article.--w_tanoto 05:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I also did Muntilan some time back - as my wife (Australian) lived high up the west side of Merapi about twenty years ago - and we made contact with some of the business persons there on Jl Pemuda... but thats a very long story Satu Suro 08:50, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Lol. My home is number 92A, Jalan Pemuda. It's empty now, as we moved to Jakarta 1994. Most of my relatives still lives there. My maternal grandma was buried in Muntilan, while my paternal grandparents are in Soropadan. BTW, there's a rather nice restaurant (although the place is ugly), called Mbok Kerto lol.--w_tanoto 08:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: rename IP address to user name

I accidentally edit Wikipedia when I'm logged out too. No, you can't change the IP addresses to your user name in an article's page history, and you can't add those IP edits to your contribution page. Some people will put links to their contributions under their IP address(es) on their user page so others can see the contributions they accidentally make while logged out. If you want to do this too, just add something like [[Special:Contributions/147.197.215.16|My contributions under 147.197.215.16]] to your user page. Let me know if you have anymore questions!

[edit] Re:Allah

So in Indonesian, it is correct to refer to Vishnu or Buddha as 'Allah'? Davidelit 12:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

'Dewa' is a Sanskrit word and is a cognate of Lithuanian 'Dievas' (God - used by Lithuanian Catholics). With respect to Hindu and other non-Abrahamic gods it's best to translate it as 'god' or 'deity' in English. 'Idol' would be regarded as offensive by polytheists.

[edit] Welcome to WikiProject Catholicism!

Again, welcome, and happy editing! --Davidelit 12:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fauzi Bowo

Hi W Tanoto. I reverted your changes to Fauzi Bowo because Sutiyoso is still governor until October 7, see: http://www.antara.co.id/arc/2007/8/16/kpu-tetapkan-fauzi-bowo-prianto-pemenang-pilkada-dki-2007/ and http://www.kompas.co.id/ver1/Pilkada/0708/16/220638.htm After that date, I will restore your infobox if you don't beat me to it :-).
PS I fixed the minor problem with this page so headings appear properly again. Regards Davidelit 12:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. Fauzi Bowo is now officially governor (God help us!), so I have restored your edits to his page. Regards Davidelit 09:46, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HD/BD comparison, first look studios

Do you really think First Look Studios counts as a major film studio? I think the list needs some trimming or a different title. --Ray andrew 13:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Im talking about the table on the comparison page, I'm going to trim it back a bit. --Ray andrew 13:28, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yoiks

I've just realised that because I "fixed" your page, previous pre-fix entries are listed as being my edits (including the Allah discussion)! Can't be helped, but please don't ask me what they mean... By the way, I meant to e-mail you, but you don't have an address registered. Might be interesting to get in touch - we are opposites nationwise :-) Regards. Davidelit 16:16, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citing sources in other languages

Please refer to Wikipedia's policy on this WP:REF, specifically:

"Because this is the English Wikipedia, English-language sources should be given whenever possible, and should always be used in preference to other language sources of equal calibre. However, do give references in other languages where appropriate. If quoting from a different language source, an English translation should be given with the original-language quote beside it." --Ray andrew 19:00, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't think google is considered a real translation, it has severe problems with complex wordings. --Ray andrew 19:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

If you really do know how to translate japanese then perhaps you can give this a look [1]. But really everyone thinks the google translation is totally wrong. --Ray andrew 19:15, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry I cant read Japanese, and if you cant either then I don't think we should try to extract meaning out of junk like:"spherical aberration revision becomes necessary on drive side". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ray andrew (talk • contribs) 19:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question about the 51 gig HD DVD website

http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.watch.impress.co.jp%2Fav%2Fdocs%2F20071004%2Fdvd1.htm&langpair=ja%7Cen&hl=en&ie=UTF8

Thanks for providing this reference, but I can not find the "51 gig HD-DVD will not work in current players" comment. Which paragraph # is it in? Thanks. :-) - Theaveng 08:43, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Inviting

I saw that you were inviting people to join WP:BLU. I think that is a good idea and I am going to work in my sandbox to make a message for invitations.--Playstationdude 18:36, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

I made it. It is now on WP:BLU.--Playstationdude 19:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Panasonic is main Blu-ray supporter?

"Note to previous edit by somebody: Panasonic has more involvement in BD than Sony, so you can't say Sony is the backbone"

Really? First I've ever heard that. Do you have citations for that? Thanks. - Theaveng 19:11, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kingham Hill

Hi. The article looks a lot better now. I couldn't see what Severn House had to do with the orignal sentence! When I was in Greenwich, the school was boys-only ;-) TinyMark 14:59, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

Didn't really take notice. Sorry. --Esanchez_{(Talk 2 me or Sign here)} 22:42, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] HD DVD in Japanese

Oh I see... I was not aware of this... But because the format war is a "Japanese" format war, I thought a Japanese newspaper would be better than Engadget cite. Let's see how it goes.... Thanks...Mugunth^{(ping me!!!,contribs)} 01:33, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] High-definition templates

Hi. I got the feeling that {{High-definition}} and the template you started, {{HighDefinitionMedia}}, could be merged, so what do you make of (the first template on) Template:High-definition media? Thanks, Sardanaphalus (talk) 21:36, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Given the latest HD DVD news, perhaps it's best to wait a while! Sardanaphalus (talk) 12:05, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] overcat

please - there is no need to duplicate cats as at cardinal julius art - the ones added are part of the ones already there - cheers Satu Suro 00:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Nah no big deal - its just the ones you had added were already covered - it would be better to have more detail in the article than the categories! cheers Satu Suro 00:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC) WP Indonesia wise a very very big problem at the moment is migration of articles and editors from the wikipedia indonesia project with some rather serious quality issues - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestantism_in_Indonesia for me is an example of what should not happen - using other wp arts as sources is a total misunderstanding of the whole english project WP:RS as well as limited inggeris with some disastrous quality control issues :( Satu Suro 00:28, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Embassy of Italy to the Holy See

Please read WP:MoS again. It states, "An article on a topic that has strong ties to a particular English-speaking nation uses the appropriate variety of English for that nation." The EU is not a nation. Neither Italy nor the Holy See are "English-speaking" nations. I've restored the spelling variety used by the first major contributor of Embassy of Italy to the Holy See. Thanks. Gentgeen (talk) 05:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moved "non-overlapping" Format War thread

Thanks for pointing out I posted in the wrong article. To avoid further confusion, I've taken the liberty of erasing from "Format War" and re-posting in "Comparison", but that meant erasing your original note of support. I hope that's ok and that you'll re-post it, as well. Barte (talk) 15:40, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mark Speight

[edit] Thanks from Islander

After having so, so many people adding the as of yet unconfirmed 'death' of Mark Speight to Wikipedia, and then arguing with me when I remove it, it's a breath of fresh air to see someone add it in good faith, and then remove it themselves once in possession of all the facts. I thank you :). _Talk Islander 19:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Funeral

I added a mention of the funeral before reading your prior "should we add this?" question on the talkpage. Please do be bold in adding sourced information like that yourself. POV bit: I think it's a crying shame that Speight's gone - let alone his appeal to kids, I'm 48 and even at this advanced age I found his enthusiasm a gateway to appreciating art.
