Doshpuluur Image[edit]

Hi. Yes, the image is released under GFDL. I uploaded it to commons:Image:Doshpuluur.png. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with best practices for linking it in the article. --Stacey Doljack Borsody 05:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Copy/paste vs. move[edit]

Thanks for letting me know about the proper way to move a mislableled article! I went back through my edit history and found three other instances where I think I did the same thing:

07:31, 18 December 2005 (hist) (diff) m The Weinstein Co. (redirect to The Weinstein Company) (top)

19:13, 15 September 2005 (hist) (diff) m CRACK (redir to Project Prevention) (top)

21:37, 23 January 2005 (hist) (diff) Electrolysis (cosmetology) (redirect to Electrology) (top)

Sorry about that! Jokestress 14:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

C-uploaded[edit]

Hi, thanks for your message on my talkpage. Downloading and uploading takes a lot of time - Using c-uploaded gets it uploaded fast and adding m-protect protects it. I don't see a problem with it. btw, I couldn't find any documentation on how to use these templates on their talkpages. Can you reply if there are some links that talk of the right way of doing it? Thanks, --Gurubrahma 19:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Transit strike[edit]

I cannot fathom how this story is not worthy for the main page. It would also enhance the status of our article which could be a good source of information. Tfine80 22:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Pharos, just wanted to thank you for using my picture "in the news" on the main page. Aside from shameless self-promotion, I also agree with you guys that the shutdown of the world's largest transit system is clearly newsworthy. --Howrealisreal 23:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks[edit]

Thank you very much for adding the pd photo to the Céline Dion article, greatly appreciated. Hopefully, this will quell the only objection in the article's FAC. Thanks again. Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 00:59, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect redirect[edit]

For some reason someone put in a redirect so that Mohammed Nour redirects to Rally for Democracy and Liberty. I'd like to start the Mohammed Nour, but I don't know how to remove the redirect. Is there a tutorial? KI 16:12, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. KI 21:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You, But One Last Question[edit]

I appreciate your helpness and I am sorry for my mistakes. My one final question is, if I have some extra data that I got from some where, how do I write down my source?

Once again, thanks! Wikizach 23:56, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Kwanzaa[edit]

Sorry! I was following a previous revert you made to the same anon. Feel free to undo my revert or to come up with better wording. Thanks! Owen× ☎ 05:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Warning removed. Owen× ☎ 06:02, 27 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Admin Nomination[edit]

I would really like you to nominate me to be an administrator. I have lots of expierence and I have used Wikipedia for all my researching.

I would really appreciate if you did!.

Signitures[edit]

How do you make those really interesting (and cool) signitures when you do the ~ things?

possible Sky Ride copyvio[edit]

Hi, I saw you changed the DYK pic away from the Sky Ride one and then back again. Do you think that pic has copyvio problems? I know now that not all LOC pics are copyvio free but I thought when I uploaded it that one was. I may well be mistaken though, any advice gratefully received. Warmest regards. PS I like your talk archive names, great touch! 00:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:FrancisGuise.jpg[edit]

Hello -- shouldnt the pd tag on this image (which is currently on the front page) be one of the more specific ones, such as {{PD-art}}? --Admrboltz (T | C) 08:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of the recent commons change ;) Im a commoner. --Admrboltz (T | C) 08:46, 7 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its me again[edit]

The joys of midnight realy only being 4 PM... Image:BattleofNewOrleans2.jpg on the front page... I went to the site that the source is from, and it states the credit is due to NARA, so i think a more appropriate image would be {{PD-USGov-NARA}}. --Admrboltz (T | C) 00:08, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Noted, thanks :) --Admrboltz (T | C) 15:47, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'Burglarize'[edit]

Burglarize doesn't exist outside the US, and since the Main Page is not US‐specific, a real word like burgle should be used. Burglarize sounds about as dumb as agentification would to mean becoming an FBI agent! I urge you to reconsider your reversion. Nicholas 13:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Felt is certainly a US topic and "burglarize" isn't going to confuse anyone. Let's not talk about "real words" here; all words are real. Anyway, if you look in your dictionary burgle is actually a messy back-formation from burglar. So there. Don't be such a grumpy prescriptivist!--Pharos 13:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Mark Felt is certainly a US topic" — I'm not complaining against its use in W. Mark Felt, but on the supposedly dialect‐neutral Main Page.
"all words are real" — but only a small subset of those are present in the English language.
"burgle is actually a messy back-formation from burglar" — didn't know that (nor can I verify the claim as I haven't an etymological dictionary).
"Don't be such a grumpy prescriptivist" — I'm not grumpy at all, I asked nicely for you to reconsider a reversion you made. Perhaps it is you who is the grumpy one? And describing 'burglarize' as not a real word (which is correct in all my experiences) is not being prescriptivist at all, not that there's anything bad about either extreme. My point was that it is not a neutral term. Perhaps if burgle is unacceptable State‐side, a different word can be found? Nicholas 14:16, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry if the joking nature of this comment wasn't obvious. I certainly didn't mean to call you "grumpy" in a negative way- this may be another dialect thing, but in my experience this word almost always has a humorous connotation. As to Main Page content, I don't know if we're going for "neutrality" as much as widest understandability, and I would guess "burglarize" is probably more understandable to "burgle" users than vice versa. If you still think burglarize is unacceptable, we could always go with "break into".--Pharos 14:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Alas it was not obvious! To me at least, grumpy is quite negative, usually applied to senior members of society who lack social consideration, or tact. See Victor Meldrew. And I might postulate that 'burglarize' is a messy forward‐formation ;-) I like your suggestion of break into and have made the change. Thank you for meeting me in the middle. It's marks a pleasant change when common ground can be found. Nicholas 15:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the toilet[edit]

The picture you kindly supplied for Self-parody isn't quite what I had in mind… but I'm smiling. —JerryFriedman 03:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Einstein[edit]

Hi, thanks for the change in the copyright wording. I usually add mprotect only after it makes it to the main page. btw, can you have a look at Special:Contributions/Eacinva - he has made 3 edits to date, all on image talk and about copyrights. --Gurubrahma 06:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOC images[edit]

Hi. I think you've got a point. But what will be with other PD images that doesn't fit to the PD-US-LOC ? - Darwinek 10:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK. Maybe "Category:Library of Congress-verified PD images" would be better. I think we should also state somewhere how to maintain with images downloaded from LOC. - Darwinek 16:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New FSA/OWI template[edit]

Thanks for creating the new template. I had given some thought to doing it myself but hadn't yet got around to finding out the procedure. I didn't like the LOC template because the LOC is just the repository. Tagging the images as USDA was a little off the mark, too, because of the OWI connection. FSA/OWI constitutes a unique collection, like HABS. Good work! User:Cuppysfriend 17:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestion: Let me suggest using this famous FSA photo as the icon for the FSA/OWI template: Image:Lange-MigrantMother02.jpg. User:Cuppysfriend 18:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOC images[edit]

Hello. Would you like to take my help with relocating these LOC images? Btw. creating FSA image copyright tag was a great move. - Darwinek 11:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

192.195.225.6[edit]

It's unfortunate that that IP returned to making highspeed vandalism like that; I unblocked it because I was informed that a legitimate user was being prevented from editing, so it's annoying that someone would immediately take advantage of my actions like that. :( Mo0[talk] 14:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
