Help~

Hello DD from what I read from your user page I knew you're an expert in political geography. I'd like to know if you'd be interested to help mediate the months-long disagreement between user:Huaiwei and I around the status of Hong Kong and Macao, at talk pages like talk:lists of office holders, talk:telephone numbering plan, talk:list of airports in the PRC, talk:list of companies in the PRC, talk:economy of the PRC, talk:list of dependent territories, Universitas 21, etc.? — Instantnood 08:19, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the above messages and sorry for my belated reply. The flag image of the then Image:Cx flag.gif file actually came from the Flags of the World (FOTW) website (http://www.fotw.net). As I found that the same image has already been in existence in other image pages, I agree that the Image:Cx flag.gif file be deleted from the database. (DD Ting 20 April 2006, 07:46 (UTC)

Some examples of the use of Czechia

All but one examples are silly, please remove them (the only relavant text by Horova is already there). Let me ask you a question. What is a single word name of Hong Kong? ... is there none? ... then why must be there a single word name for the Czech Republic? Cepek 09:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:Um!rbhj.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Um!rbhj.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 09:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Reverting

Any time you revert something, you are responsible for re-adding all the things since the revert that are not "revertworthy". I don't know why you made that big revert at all, but whatever the reason is, you have many things to account for aside from it (such as my corrections to the footnotes style putting punctuation before the footnote, not after.  OZLAWYER  talk  14:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Melilla.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Melilla.gif. 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.
