Yes, this is a nice illustration. I'd love to have a look of the code; is it possible for you to mail it to me? — Sverdrup 21:05, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I understand completely. I will be interested in May again, though. :-) — Sverdrup 11:41, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I'm interested in the C program too! Do you now know wether you can disclose the code?

Also, would it be possible to remove the condition from the image page, and instead make it GFDL? The GFDL does not disallow use as homework, but it requires attribution and reproduction of the license, so I don't think it could be used to cheat with. ;-) -- David Remahl 01:06, 21 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Seconded. As you've made the image yourself, I think putting conditions on its use may disallow its uploading to Wikipedia. I know that we all license our text contributions the same way as a condition of submitting them to the project; the only reason there's such a hubbub with graphics is because it's harder to attribute them. It's a really nice diagram; I'd like to see it GFDL'd. (And, as the comment above mine states, it's still against the GFDL to use it unattributed in coursework or homework.) grendel|khan 18:51, 2004 Dec 21 (UTC)

Hi Dmn

thanks for your comment. I was thinking exactly the same about the Fever photo. I was actually thinking about adding the international one and leaving the US one there also. Hadn't thought about deleting it. Running out of time now though. May get to it.

Split

I wasn't sure whether to split Stockport. (unlike say, Wigan, where the case is quite clear that it should be split). Generally I have been splitting articles about districts and towns, unless the district is only slightly larger than the town. I have also been taking into account local identity (as gleaned from webpages), and the way the urban area looks on a map.

If someone who lived in Bramhall was going shopping in Stockport town centre, would they say "I'm going to Stockport?" Would they consider themselves as living in Stockport (as opposed to the borough of Stockport)? If places like Cheadle and Bramhall have no separate identity other than as areas of Stockport, then that's fine, we can keep the article merged. Morwen 11:41, May 6, 2004 (UTC)

Complaint from Chris Martin

What on earth is your problem?

Will you please leave the contributions alone.

I really don't see what it has to do with you - why not just let the people who want to comment on my work alone?

--Chris Martin 17:07, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Rude

In reply to your message, yes, I considered you to be exceptionally rude in removing the sections about my work, especially those pieces added by my colleagues from around the world. I can only presume that you failed to read the "Discussion" section, where I explained the situation. I have now had to explain to a number of humiliated people that the removal of their considered contributions was not due to any inadequacy on their part but solely to your presumptive and astonishingly arrogant decision unilaterally to withdraw their work. In future please have the good grace to check your facts and investigate the situation with a little more thoroughness and a lot more humility.

White Line death

Hi Dmn,

I see you don't like White Lines at the top of articles — which is fine with me (not that they bother me much either, the seem like pretty harmless creatures). I just thought to suggest moving [:category] tags from the top to the bottom whilst you were at it — if you felt so inclined. In the first few days of categories, it was recommended to put the tags at the top, but it is no longer necessary and they are better off at the bottom. -- Solipsist 18:52, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Malicious Deletion Attempt

Hello. Sorry for the imposition, but I thought you might be interested to note that an article you supported in the past on vfd has been listed again under malicious circumstances - the 3rd such attempt in 7 months. Please feel free to review the discussion and cast your vote as you feel appropriate: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Atlantium --Gene_poole 10:37, 10 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Khor Virap

Hey, I just got an edit conflict while writing the Khor Virap article, and I noticed you uploaded a picture of Yerevan while looking through your pages. I was wondering if you have any more photos of locations in Armenia, as I'm slowly adding articles on varios places there (I recently wrote Haghpat and Sanahin for example), and was hoping to find a good source for photos. --Aramgutang 14:36, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

VampWillow

Hi thanks for your message. If you feel that the above sysop's deletion of Empire of Atlantium is a serious matter, then I am happy to support any action you take to draw it to attention. I am not too familiar with such processes, and I am not otherwise familiar with this sysop, so I don't know if she has a history of non-consensus deletions of this nature. I note that the most virulent of those who voted against the article on VfD are all voting to keep it deleted, without addressing the non-consesus nature of the deletion itself, so perhaps if you are aware of others who might be concerned by the matter you could bring it to their attention and encourage them to vote to undelete.--Gene_poole 23:07, 18 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Sockpuppet vandalism

Hi again. I've just noticed that someone has created a sockpuppet Natryn to vandalise the Empire of Atlantium article, which has now been forwarded to my user page and nominated for speedy deletion. Do you know how to reverse this? You can see the edit history of the sockpuppet here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=Natryn --Gene_poole 23:57, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Yes I know you're not a sysop - I just thought you might have a better idea than me how to reverse sophisticated vandalism of this nature :-) I agree the article is better placed under Atlantium - I think that's actually how it was originally. Obviously there are a few people out there who really seem to be on some sort of personal crusade against this article for some reason, so if you can help me keep an eye on things it would be appreciated. --Gene_poole 00:14, 20 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the vandalism listing, and for taking an informed and responsible approach to a "controversial" subject. If people spent half as much time writing real articles as they do getting worked up trying to expunge facts they disagree with Wikipedia would be heaven!

Deletionist campaign

Hi there. As someone who has displayed a fairly rational and objective attitude towards micronation articles in the past I thought you might be interested to note that the rabid deletionist lobby is on the march against them again.

The latest target is New Utopia, which although a poorly written article in its current form concerns a subject that is eminently encyclopaedic, being the latest in a long line of libertarian "new country projects" (and therefore representative of a notable social/historic phenomenon), being the subject of dozens of international press and TV stories, as well as the subject of a widely-known US Securities & Investment Commission investigation for fraud.

You might want to take a look at the VfD and respond accordingly.

For future reference you might also want to note the articles in the Micronations Category, in order to keep an eye on its contents; I’ve been adding a number of well-researched, illustrated, fully referenced articles to this category in recent months, but there are moves afoot thanks to a highly suspect ongoing arbitration of process to have me banned completely from writing anything at all about micronations on the basis that as the founder of one, anything I write is somehow self-promotional and/or controversial. --Gene_poole 22:16, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Wikipedia:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Wikipedia fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 1000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Mao

Please justify "more standard" introduction. I assert that the text you removed is the standard introduction to the game. New players should not even be informed that they will not be told the rules; the first penalty many players get is for asking about the rules.

The complete, correct, spoken introduction given to a new player consists of the words: "The only rule I can tell you is this one." All other information comes by way of example and experience.

Now, my bias is against such cruel games, and I am only too willing to have an article on Mao that discloses all the little nasty tricks played on victims. However, NPOV requires some even-handedness, and I see on the Talk page that some feel no explanation is appropriate. It seems clear to me that the correct WP introduction is therefore the correct spoken introduction. I considered moving the spoiler template to the very top of the page, but even the presence of the spoiler template gives away an important clue, since new players do not even realize they are being taken for a ride, or that any information is secret. The cryptic statement sets the tone for an entire game of paranoid intrigue (indeed, very like life under Communism during times of political campaign).

Is something gained by sanding this down to some universal blandness?

I like to reach concensus with editors of other opinions, so I ask you to support your version. Otherwise, kindly revert the edit, and take a penalty card. :) — Xiong (talk) 02:00, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)

Please support your statement that the text you have written into the article is standard. — Xiong (talk) 02:12, 2005 Mar 25 (UTC)

Looking through the history, you appear to the be source of the statement that Mao was popular in Cambridge in 1975. Do you have any evidence for this? As far as I am aware, Mao was unknown in Cambridge immediately prior to the 1992-1993 academic year. Bluap 16:08, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Eurovision 2005

Hi, I just reverted your change. The significance of the 'Big 4'; UK, Spain, France and Germany being on the bottom of the table is as they automaticaly qualify for the contest, and contribute most of the budget of the EBU, therefore adding another other countries who didn't do well to the list is inappropriate. --Neo 12:19, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

The Message

I didn't send it, and I still stand by that statement. Neutral administrators are investigating (ie, not you, your bias for your friend is understandable and obvious). I'm as confused as you are about all of this, simply because I didn't send it, by the way David is putting it across suggests he genuinely feels he received it from my account. A number of 'theories' have been suggested by others, including the possibility of forging the message, and somebody else sending it other than me. And, I will be up for RfA again, and I trust you won't troll me about something I didn't write again - RfA isn't about personal grudges, its about ability as an administrator. Its clear that your biased. Hedley 14:19, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• I, of course, realise that. I'm sure that, if I lacked the abilities, I wouldn't of received so many support votes. I wouldn't of nominated myself if I wasn't ready. Hedley 14:38, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hello, just a quick note to say thank you for voting, even though you were not convinced of my experience. Already things have changed. I feel empowered, yes, but not in the "oooh cool delete button!" way I was kind of expecting. Already I feel the weight of the responsibility I have now been entrusted with, a weight that will no doubt reduce given time. Perhaps I am ready for it, or perhaps, as you say, I am not. I hope that in the coming weeks and months I can prove you wrong, but no matter what I thank you for giving your honest opinion, it is really important to me. Thank you. :) Garrett^Talk 10:58, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

I didn't notice your other questions when I replied last night! The 1885-1959 results are from the two books in the references section, which can be found in most libraries, and the problem with getting it to FA status is the lack of electoral commentary (especially in the early years), Regards, Joolz 13:31, 23 July 2005 (UTC)

Comment attrib for disambiguation

Hi, I know you mean well, but would it be too much to ask you to change slightly your comment attrib for disambiguation? Using a bodily reference like that just isn't appropriate for the subject matter of all the articles you are editing, for example, Biblical subjects; in other words I'd just as soon not see it; and hopefully you are not trying deliberately to be offensive.

Rodgers and Hammerstein was listed as a candidate for the Collaboration of the week recently. Unfortunately, the nomination dropped out. I have renominated it on the Biography Collaboration of the week however - come and support the nomination there!--Fenice 16:37, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Threats

Exactly what did I do to you for you to use threaten to leave wikpedia if I become an admin? --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 18:58, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

I simply read your contributions. For example, I can't imagine many sysops being happy with the opening paragraph of the Mehmet Ali Talat article - you seemed to be content to leave it with a different kind of POV. Dmn / Դմն 19:29, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

I really dont understand you. I dont remember contributing to the article you accuse me of POV. IN fact I had to check when and what edit I made. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 17:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I treat articles that are vandalised wikipedia bot. I have a bot that detects vadalism. Several of the recent admins and admin candidates were using my bot, and still do. I really do not see your reasoning. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 17:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I also do not see why WP:SUCKS exists in my VfA page. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 17:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I realise you "hate" me for some odd reason, I would greatly apriciate if you explained your reasoning. For me you are just a random user that I dont even remember working with/against/wharever --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 17:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

Also please respond or place a note in my talk page so I know you have responded. --Cool Cat ^{My Talk} 17:11, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

I am happy to remove it, but I thought that removing things from talk pages was seen as somehow bad form? I am not going to have the wrath of Wikipedia down on me if I remove images from my discussion page, am I? Telsa 23:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Any thoughts? Telsa 18:43, 18 August 2005 (UTC)

I'm still happy to remove it; but still wanting reassurance that it's not a bad thing..? --Telsa 16:22, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Wiki-polotics thread

I hereby dispute the alleged aggressiveness of my RfA comments. I suggest User:Cool Cat should look at the dignified way I acted during my own one. I hereby also assert my belief that it is the right for any wikipedia user to vote in RfA without comment or apparent logical comment. Dmn € Դմն 23:58, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

Can you please elaborate? Why are you threatening to leave wikipedia if I become an admin? --Cool Cat ^Talk 00:19, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I do not wish nor see the need to elaborate on this. I'm surprised you saw the need to create this page - Do you think it will help you when/if you re-apply? I strongly suggest you concentrate on editing articles. Dmn € Դմն 00:45, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I do have a need to know why you will take extreme mesures if I become an admin. I would apriciate any explanation because as far as I care you are a random person opposing me. --Cool Cat ^Talk 12:17, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Lada Keyring1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Lada Keyring1.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{gfdl}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{fairuse}}.) See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. - Physchim62 (talk) 17:55, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Image copyright problem RE: Image:Smiling-child.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Smiling-child.jpg. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law. We need you to specify two things on the image description page:

• The copyright holder, and
• The copyright status

The copyright holder is usually the creator. If the creator was paid to make this image, then their employer may be the copyright holder. If several people collaborated, then there may be more than one copyright holder. If you created this image, then you are the copyright holder.

Because of the large number of images on Wikipedia, we've sorted them using image copyright tags. Just find the right tag corresponding to the copyright status of this image, and paste it onto the image description page like this: {{TAGHERE}}.

There are 3 basic ways to licence an image on Wikipedia:

• An open content licence
• Public Domain
• Fair Use

• The copyright holder gets the best protection of their work by licencing it under an open content license such as the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike licence. If you have the express permission of the copyright holder to licence their work under the above licence, use the image copyright tag: {{cc-by-sa-2.5}}. The GNU Free Documentation License is another option. Again, if you have the express permission of the copyright holder, use the tag {{GFDL}}.

• The copyright holder can also release their work into the public domain. See here for examples.

• Images from certain sources are automatically released into the public domain. This is true for the United States, where the Wikimedia servers are located. (See here for images from the government of the USA and here for other governments.) However, not all governments release their work into the public domain. One exception is the UK (see here for images from the UK government). Non-free licence governments are listed here.

• Also, in some cases, an image is copyrighted but allowed on Wikipedia because of fair use. To see a) if this image qualifies, and b) if so, how to tag it, see Wikipedia:Fair use.

For more information, see Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Please remember that untagged images are likely to be deleted.

If you have uploaded other images without including copyright tags, please go back and tag them. Also, please tag all images that you upload in the future.

If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. Thanks again. --SCEhardT 05:44, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

WikiFun Question 11

In Wikifun, Round 11, question 11, the question says;
These people have something in common. Give me their names and their appropriate additional word(s).

I don't understand what you mean by the bolded phrase. Their title perhaps? Their middle name? I don't know. Do I have to bribe you for the answer? :-) «LordViD» 19:42, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

When you work out what the connection, the appropriate extra words will become obvious. Dmn 20:19, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

I knew you'd say that....Thanks anyways. «LordViD» 20:36, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

Image:Khor Virap model.jpg has been listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded, Image:Khor Virap model.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Image:Wikifun11_q5.jpg

Sorry but Wikimedia policy does now allow fair use images outside of the main namespace (articles!). The image is in use on a wikipedia name space community page, so it doesn't qualify. --Gmaxwell 07:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
