Hey CBHA

Hope I didn't mess your editing. Didn't realise you are there too. Please change anything you like. Can you get a ref for that link for the word they both used them both using the word? Makes it interesting and time-related. I came across it in the entertainment refdesk. :) Julia Rossi (talk) 03:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

PS Just saw the meaning of your initials – hope that doesn't mean you gave up acting! Julia Rossi (talk) 03:49, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

That's where I saw it (and opportunistically used it <cringe>). It's an interesting thing, socially grown/shared words. I saw your addition to the article and wondered if "Crossing the Bar" was related to Tennyson's poem and if, since you know what the play is about, you might like to start a stub about it? hint hint My best wishes for a key role to find you – in plenty of time. Best :) Julia Rossi (talk) 04:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Don Nigro

The playwright has an article that makes him notable, and there's an article One-act play with a short list of examples, so in the name of not letting flatulence get a bigger billing, why not? (IMHO of course) I'm amused by what people say for the sake of saying something and that excerpt is funny. Is there a script you can reference? Julia Rossi (talk) 05:29, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for your friendly note, CBHA. My pleasure, :) Julia Rossi (talk) 05:29, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

By concidence, today's picture of the day[1] is the Lotus, ironically from an Australian botanic garden. Howzat?!  :) Julia Rossi (talk) 05:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

How did you do it

How did you undo that block of edits on the 2008 Canadian parliamentary dispute? I always want to learn new editing techniques. Thanks in advance, --Clausewitz01 (talk) 14:00, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the guide, I will play around on my page and in the sandbox before I try it. --Clausewitz01 (talk) 23:19, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Greetings

Happy Christmas from Australia!

Happy Christmas, CBHA. May you find time to refresh yourself, and may you continue to enjoy wiki-ing in 2009 ~ from Julia R. o<| =)

His absence

Hi CBHA, hope you're on a wikibreak, holidaying or caught up in the industry. In any event, hope you're well and back soon, cheers, :) Julia Rossi (talk) 09:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

¡CBHA! I'm relieved you came back to tell the tale because your adventure (and the story of Old Joe) has made my day. How did the likes of Hemingway and all get by when spanish is so tricky? A happy and successful año nuevo to you also, =) Julia Rossi (talk) 23:43, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

PS, ironically the theatrical lobby card in POD begs for a caption: "Julia Rossi gently persuades CBHA to tell her where he's been..." ;) Julia Rossi (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Fairuse/Free use on the Main Page

Hi CBHA, Wikipedia has a slightly stricter interpretation of the more generic US Fair use law. If you look at the fairuse guidelines as well as WP:Non-free content criteria you can see the rules for use of non-free images on Wikipedia. They should not be used in articles if there is a free equivalent and they shouldn't be in any namespace other than the article space (ie in templates, portals, WP: pages). It would only serve as decoration and as we have a valid free-use image for the ITN section on the main page, there is no need to replace it. It is a longstanding convention here on Wikipedia that only free images should be used on the Main Page and I've tried to explain the reasoning behind that above. Regards, Woody (talk) 16:59, 5 May 2011 (UTC)

No problem, happy to help. Yep, you've got it there with your last paragraph: only fair-use images cannot be used for decorative purposes. IE images that we don't own the copyright for cannot be used as mere decoration, they must have a clear rationale to be there and offer significant educational benefit to the reader. Free-use images can be used as much as you like and in any namespace you like.

It is a shame because that image is a great image but we don't have any legal right to use it under the strict interpretation of fair-use that Wikipedia enforces. Woody (talk) 18:07, 5 May 2011 (UTC)
