Lemony Snicket

edit

Thanks for uploading the new Olaf pic. Can you tell me where you found it? I've been looking all over for it.

Also, I really appreciate you posting the Brett Helquist pics, but there shouldn't be more than one pic in a profile. Since yours is better, I kept them in the profile while moving the movie pic in the article.--CyberGhostface 20:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

need book data

edit

About Image:Beatrice.jpg You claim it's the cover of a book. Can yo provide data (otherwise it's an unsourced image and should be deleted within a few days). Book title, isbn , amazon url, etc anything that can identify the book and verify the cover belongs to it. -- ( drini's page ) 06:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

More Lemony Snicket

edit

Hi--

I've removed the Beatrice picture as I don't recall that ever been explicitly identified as her.

Also, I removed the 'Later Appearences' from the template as its not really necessary. I mean, for comicbook characters we just list their first appearence, and not every single one after that.

But I do want to thank you for contributing what you have done. I especially like the new Olaf and Fiona pictures.--CyberGhostface 01:06, 18 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Me again. I don't think its really worth noting that Olaf has white color in one media and gray in the other, so I reverted it. If there was a notable difference in appearence (like say he had blond or red hair) there should be a change, but since he's pretty much close to the way he is in the book in terms of appearence I think it should the stay the way it is.--CyberGhostface 11:42, 20 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

Islamic Wikiproject Award

edit

Would you be so kind as to go to the discussion about the Islamic Wikiproject Award? This has been a proposal that has lingered for donkey's yonks. I think the image is acceptable as a WP:PUA, but don't think the image is in line with most of the images at Wikipedia:Wikiproject awards. The design is not well supported, and right before I was going to archive the debate for lack of support, someone else moved it to the Wikiproject awards page.

The current discussion is going on here: Wikipedia:Barnstar_and_award_proposals/New_Proposals#Another_image. Your input is appreciated. --evrik 10:48, 18 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Your excellent work on Azazel

edit

Thank you so much for all the work you've been doing to Azazel—you've really made some quality edits and it's really a pleasure for me to see another editor on Wikipedia being a productive member of the community. I only have one small quibble, though—you ought to consider using the "Show preview" button rather than saving a dozen edits changing only a couple of things. This would enable other users to more easily track the changes committed to the page by one user, and it cuts down on cluttered edit histories. Also, you might consider using edit summaries so that other users can have a quick reference to the substance of your edits. These are really only procedural matters; your edits are terrific. Thank you! --Makaristos 01:29, 8 January 2007 (UTC)Reply

I removed the edits you added to the Hebrew Bible/Rabbinic Literature section to the Talk page for the article. The reason is that this material doesn't appear to be a summary of the Hebrew Bible or Rabbinic Literature at all, it seems to be expository commentary that appears to actually come from one or more commentators or secondary sources. It's very important that our encyclopedia be reliable and not create a risk of misattributing material from one source as coming from another. I've put the material on the article's Talk page. If you'd like to you are welcome to re-add this material in a section which properly identifies its origin, e.g. "in Contemporary Biblical Criticism" or similar, as long as you supply reliable sources for it. I recommend using footnote-style sourcing for each claim made. Note that claims such as a particular interpretation is "most probable" etc. are particuarly problematic per WP:SOAP, and should generally be attributed as a particular individual's claim if made.

Fair use rationale for Image:CarmelitaSpats.jpg

edit
 

Image:CarmelitaSpats.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:05, 2 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Units

edit

Hello... thanks for adding Imperial unit conversions to the Moon article. However, please make sure that the metric units remain first in order, as per the custom with scientific articles. (This avoids the need for someone to come in and clean it up afterwards.) As well, the "&nbsp" code should be left intact as it helps to keep units and their respective values together on a line.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Helquist Snicket.jpg)

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Helquist Snicket.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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.

Prairie hare

edit
 

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Prairie hare, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: White-tailed Jackrabbit. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot 00:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Reply

commons:Category:Branches

edit

Hi, The Man in Question :). I noticed you were doing some work on commons adding pix to this category, and was wondering what your intention is with this. I ask only because there are likely to be tens of thousands of images of branches on commons, which means the category probably won't be particularly useful. Do you have a particular goal in mind for collecting these images?

Please rest assured that any effort to help organize commons is appreciated... I just wonder if you might consider helping to organize on a more narrowly defined subject :). --SB_Johnny | talk 23:26, 20 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I see. In the future, you might want to just create gallery pages on commons for that sort of thing, rather than categories. Keep in mind that categories run a bit differently on commons, because you can have an awful lot of images (or other files) that treat the same subject. Assuming that there probably are (say) 20k images with branches in them, the category will necessarily be either incomplete or unbrowseable, if you see what I mean. I just don't want you to spend energy doing that when there are so many other things that need folks to help us with :). --SB_Johnny | talk 22:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Regarding some plant page moves

edit

Hi there! I saw some of your contributions that showed up the WP:PLANTS assessment logs that show page moves. I moved them back to the scientific names per the flora naming convention, which prefers scientific names for article titles over common names, unless they meet the exceptions given.

List of names in English with non-intuitive pronunciations

edit

Hi. You've started to put some serious work in this article. About 4% on your way, I thought I catch you before it gets too frustrating when whole chunks get reverted. Perhaps you want to discuss what you're planning to do on the talk page before going on. Primarily, I'm concerned with your changes of the second pronunciation indication to what I figure after some digging is the idiosyncratic American Heritage Dictionary's way of spelling pronunciation. The current situation is that the IPA text is there to provide the standard/precise indication, followed by something that helps any English-speaking person to immediately deduce how to say the word. Most people will be as unfamiliar with the AHD alphabet as with IPA, making it just redundant. For example " Blackley, Manchester/ˈbleɪkli/ (“blakely”) " is going to be more helpful than " Blackley, Manchester/ˈbleɪkli/; (blākʹlē) ". Afasmit (talk) 16:00, 25 November 2007 (UTC) Reply

A Mhan, Ciamar a tha sibh? Ceart ma tha... I'm not sure what your intention was in changing the Gaelic and OI on the Banshee and Bean Nighe pages, but you introduced some bizarre errors. I am concerned that you not only made these changes (do you have any Gaelic?), but that you even moved pages to some odd names. Please do not introduce these changes or page moves again without seeking consensus on the talk page, specifically from those who have Gaelic.

No, they are not correct in any of the modern Gaelics, which are what we are using in the articles.

Squamish/Skwxwu7mesh changes

edit

I'm reserving judgement on much of your recent edits to these articles; it's in the case of your excision of material from the table of villages on the main Skwxwu7mesh page that I take exception to. Quoi-quoi / Whoi whoi or whatever it is you've leftis NOT the only English variant; there are at least six, maybe ten, over the time of years since teh placename first became known otuside indigenous speakers; likwise the variants of Snauq which you decided weren't good enough. In all such lists/tables in Wiki with "alternate names" there's no call for only ONE alternate name/adaptation; you seem to ahve taken the position that only teh ones YOU know of, or approve of, are correct. That's POV, and it's also deletion of materials - plus some completely unnecessary bolding which at the moment, as it's dinnertime, I'm in no mood to take out but will advise you that unstylistic edits combined with questionable content edits are not a good sign that your edits were in good faith; you seem o have an agenda. Please respect the contributinos of other editors and do not delete materials without consultation on the talkpage - in this case a discussion which would have inevitably led to its refusal, as you have no good reason why the otehr alternative names should not be there - and the bolding of only the English versions of the names is in itself questionable; but such boldings wouldnt' even be welcome if it was the Skwxwu7mesh names column. I haven't reviewedd your other extensive edits t o this area, and msut presume you have some kind of interest in the Squamish, given your apparent (presumptive) knowledge of what's right and what's not. Your changes to lead sentences in certain articles, by thew ay, are likely to start edit wars; your use of the Sqamish link (which if not a disambig goes to the District of Squamish, according to wiki nameguidelines) was ill-advised and somewhat confrontational.....Skookum1 (talk) 21:10, 9 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hello The Man in Question! I was going to leave a message for you but I've seen my friend Skookum1 already has. I'm going to do my best to be as diplomatic as I can with courtesy and respect for people whom I'm hoping I can collaborate with on Wikipedia. The last time (when I first came here) me and this one guy bumped heads a lot, but now work together on a lot of articles. But I guess that's beside the point.
I noticed all the edits you've made and stopped looking at them individually after I seen a few. I agree with Skookum that I can only assume you have some kind of agenda. We would like to know what it is. Most of the edits, like name changes, were ill advices and are annoying for contributors who have worked on those pages. Like Skookum said, discussion is needed for changes like that. A few of your edits were strange, like Schenks and Schètx̱w. There was a few edits that I actually liked and forgot to do myself, so thanks for doing that for me. haha. Anyways, I would like to encourage you to take your idea's and thoughts to the discussion page of those articles and research more into what your changes. Not extensively, but ask around maybe? In any case, thanks for helping out in your contributions and I hope we can work together on making good wikipedia articles. OldManRivers (talk) 06:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of Image:Jesusinjosephus.jpg

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Image:Jesusinjosephus.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I8 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is available as a bit-for-bit identical copy on the Wikimedia Commons under the same name, or all references to the image on Wikipedia have been updated to point to the title used at Commons.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Jesusinjosephus.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Sdrtirs (talk) 16:22, 29 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

I know the article needs a great deal of work to bring it up to Wikipedian standards - but making a whole lot of unexplained changes only increases the confusion. I object especially to the name change for which I see little support in the historical texts. If you wish, maybe we could work together to improve the article???? Please let me know what you are attempting to do with it. Sincerely, John Hill (talk) 22:57, 2 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
