Cordoba Metro

Dear Moebiusuibeom-en I have recently created this article and I was wondering if you could help me to improve it. Please let me know! Regards --Fercho85 (talk) 07:16, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Transportation

Dear Moebiusuibeom-en since you wrote to me in english I will talk to you in the same language.. Firstly I personally agree with you in changing Metro to Underground, nonetheless the term was not wrong, regarding the term tram I think it is better to change it by light rail since tram is "a railborne vehicle, lighter than a train, designed for the transport of passengers (and/or, very occasionally, freight) within, close to, or between villages, towns and/or cities, primarily on streets" whereas light rail "is a form of urban rail public transportation that generally has a lower capacity and lower speed than heavy rail and metro systems" Finally I will reorder the pictures if you don't agree please let me know.. --Fercho85 (talk) 21:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

TAVe

Estimado amigo, el articulo "Buenos Aires-Rosario-Córdoba high-speed railway" no tiene nada que ver con la linea TAVe Mar del Plata asi que parafrase tu valiosa informacion en una sección aparte dentro del articulo: "The Mar del Plata connection", Saludos ~ Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 23:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Fercho85 04:18, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

List of Puerto Rico railroads

I'm just dropping by to let you know I agree with the merge between List of Puerto Rico railroads and Rail transport in Puerto Rico. Feel free to do it yourself, I doubt they'll be any objections. Peace. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 12:18, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Article Assessment

Dear Mtmelendez, in reference to San Juan-Caguas Rail article which has been rated as a “Start-Class” on the quality scale, I believe article should be re-examined and re-rated to “GA” or “B” at least for the reason that great lengths to provide the correct information have been applied, direct contact with Alstom and High Rest images have been provided by them and all References available have been included and even contact with the Mayor's office in Caguas. I do agree that some minor editing may be needed.

The “importance scale” rating may also need to be relabeled since this project is of the outmost importance on an island where “Urban Sprawl” is rapidly dwindling the island's countryside and mass transportation has been proven to improve the environment. Please let me know your thoughts. Sincerely Moebiusuibeom-en 15:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Response

Hey, Moebiusuibeom-en. Sorry for responding so late, I hadn't noticed your comment on your talk page. ~ I've read the San Juan-Caguas Rail and I agree with you in part that the article is better than Start class, so I've re-assessed it as B. However, I can't assess it as GA until it passes as a Good Article (see WP:GA), it's policy and we can't do anything about that.

As for the importance, I know that this assessment is a controversial issue. I assessed it as Low because it is a planned construction project that is basically notable within most parts of Puerto Rico and in closely-related rail transport groups, but not say outside of such focus groups. This is different to the Tren Urbano, which has been subject to stories because it services the metro area of Puerto Rico, was very expensive, and used $1 billion in federal funds. However, you can change the assessment if you really think that its undeserving, but please be advised that consensus has been reached as to the importance scale of articles. So for example, don't assess it as Top or High, because that class is reserved for the most important articles and topics of Puerto Rico, such as Puerto Rico, History of Puerto Rico, Transportation in Puerto Rico, etc.

P.S. I'm trying to elevate the Rail transport in Puerto Rico to GA class by copy-editing and adding references to important info, and I could really use your help. I see you've added sourced info to sections which I deleted because I couldn't find any. Drop me a message to see how we can collaborate, ok? - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 15:37, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Mtmelendez, thanks for looking over San Juan-Caguas Rail, agree 100%.

In regards to Rail transport in Puerto Rico, I've got lots of references, most of it in books in boxes (there aren't many thought), gladly I would help, it'll take some time, there is some changes that could be done immediately, shortly I'll take a look at Article which "could easily be reclassified", but we must keep it real though, the Bayamon train in the park I believe is dead and should be eliminated, Trolleys of San Juan are not mentioned anywhere and I've got info that I'm preparing.

I've recategorized Tren Urbano as you've noticed, if it's incorrect or if i make any mistakes feel free to comment. – Sincerely – Moebiusuibeom-en 14:54, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Awesome. The Rail transport in Puerto Rico article really needs "hard" sources (i.e. sources from printed books), because it basically uses sources from the internet, and those can change at any time. If you could add hard sources, it could really improve it.

Yes, I saw the Tren Urbano article. I removed certain categories because they were redundant (i.e. we don't need to categorize as rapid transit, when rapid transit in the US is already included). I also included more specific sub-categories for public transport and subways. If you want more info on what I did, check out Wikipedia:Categorization.

Hey, you may want to join the WikiProject Puerto Rico. Its a community within Wikipedia composed of editors interested in editing Puerto Rican articles. Check it out! - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 04:07, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

HI Mtmelendez, I'm willing to help, my aim is to put Puerto Rico on an international level!, join the WikiProject Puerto Rico may be next, love your island, Cheers _ Moebiusuibeom-en 04:35, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Muchas gracias

Gracias por tu trabajo...ya veo que por ahora eres el unico interesado en mejorar las paginas de informacion sobre Rep Dom...Ando buscando wikipedians para que ayuden pero no encuentro muchos...Gracias Por tus cambios..EdwinCasadoBaez 01:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Thanks for the help out...yeah i am trying hard but is just that i dont have enough sources to find info about santiago. I am trying to get some dominican people to help me develop this article because i think am not able to develop alone...thanks for your help..i really appreciate!And i'm sorry that i added those categories without having info about them..I just copied the standards from WP:Cities EdwinCasadoBaez 06:42, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Other languages in Cataño, Puerto Rico

Nope. The lenguage links go to real articles. However, I have noticed vandalism in other articles by linking to other language articles which are not related to the original english article, like linking the English Luis A. Ferre article with the Spanish Constitution of Puerto Rico article. The English Luis A. Ferre article should only be linked to the Spanish Luis A. Ferre article. Be on the lookout for those. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 16:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

• Response - I don't think there's any policy on the order in which the languages should be listed. I believe the best route is to list them by order of which will users be looking for, which is probably the Spanish one. SO, to answer your question, Puerto Rico related articles should probably list Spanish as the first alternate language link in an article. But that's my personal opinion. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 23:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

The convention is to list interwikis alphabetically. Joelito (talk) 02:53, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, I learn something new every day. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 04:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Redirecting: It's very simple.

1. Blank the page (i.e. use the edit feature, and delete everything in the page), but don't save yet...
2. Insert the name of the article which the page you're editing will redirect
3. Either use the #R button on the edit bar just above the edit box, or just type #REDIRECT ''Insert text'', placing the name of the article where Insert text is.
4. Save the page.

That's it. The most important thing to remember is that Redirects should not be taken lightly. If an article already exists, like List of Puerto Rico railroads, be sure to notify users in the talk page of your suggestion to eliminate the article and redirect it to a better one. Some users might not agree with you. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 04:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

New Section: “Trolley” de San Juan

The info you added to the Rail transport in Puerto Rico is good indeed, but remember to try and find sources. I know it's hard, I've been there myself. But there's bound to be something out there. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 01:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Santo Domingo

Well you have become one of my friends over here in wikipedia and i want you to do me a favor Moebiusuibeom!!!!can you please check the Santo Domingo Article and tell me your opinions! I think the article should be reviewd and be given B-Class!what do you say??EdwinCasadoBaez 05:37, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

San Juan, Puerto Rico

I see what you mean. I think some information in the section does belong there, including the different districts and some notable, though definitely not all, buildings and structures. The section should be divided between Natural geography and Districts (or communities, barrios, etc.). A good example is the Geography of Washington, D.C. article.

But the whole article is a mess, just like you said. It needs a lot of work. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 14:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

RE:Arturo Alfonso Schomburg

The reason that I prefer the first image placed to the right of the introductary paragraph is because I find that it would not distract the reader as it would if it was placed on the left. It could be placed on the left, there is no policy as to were an image can be placed, but I personally feel that the article should have as its starting point the paragraph and not the image.

That said , let me tell you that I am gald that you have joined us here in Wikipedia. We need more people like you to help keep Puerto Rico "en alto". If you ever need me for anything, do not hesitate to ask. Tony the Marine 03:45, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Moebiusuibeom-en...Replies

• About the Changes you made in Ciudad Colonial:

Well..First of all i think Your Changes were excellent in The Zona Colonial Page. I Believe you a great editor and I Have to give thanks to you for making the article more encyclopedia looking(As you may see, I don't have such a good vocabulary for Encyclopedias!) Thanks for helping me develop this Articles and posting those two images.

Regarding your question about the TEST you made in the Article i think it looks good and it could stay there if you want to(You can ask another wikipedian for his opinion too if you want!).

• your Questions

"Hey, did some "tweaking" here too, tried to fusion together Ciudad Colonial with Zona Colonial District since Ciudad Colonial is Articles Name and it's also UNESCO's name but apparently to the masses its known as Zona Colonial District, please clear me up on this subject and if changes i did don't make sense let me know, I've also re-rated articles since I believe they where truly underrated"... Well, I could say that Zona Colonial is a more familiar name for dominicans and tourist but that the more correct name is Ciudad Colonial(and this is how the goverment refers to it in most cases). Well anyways i Redirected both names into one Article so people could find it more easily.

• Re-Rating??

um!!by the way did you re-rated the Articles of Zona Colonial(Ciudad Colonial) and Santo Domingo???they seen to have the same rating as before because they had Start Class Already and i believe that the Santo Domingo article should be rated B-Class?shouldn't it?

• SANTO DOMINGO ARTICLE:

You told me to merge The Article Ciudad Trujillo Into Santo Domingo Which i already did in the beginning of the article...Should I make it separated or Leave the same way it is?.... And yeah am planning on putting a Music Section into the Santo Domingo Article when i have more Information and Sources! EdwinCasadoBaez 02:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: San Juan, Puerto Rico

Thanks, I have been kind of inspired while doing it and with the help of Tony the Marine I have formated and referenced it up a bit, a few more refs and a check for grammatical errors and it's going up as a GAC, if you see something you think needs some tweaks just let me know and I will fix it, Peace. -凶 17:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

gotcha – Moebiusuibeom-en 04:52, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Say by any chance are good at doing copy-edits? I think all the points have been attended exept that one, but I err...suck at doing those, if you are good a them can you take care of it? --凶 20:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok thanks, the page still has the nesesity of a peer review but we should try to have it at it's best by then, Peace. --凶 21:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

... I just found this while intending to post a message to MtMelendez:

Hello dear colleague, I think we got a problem, maybe I'm mistaken, you've mentioned me that a good article should have good references… "hard" sources (i.e. sources from printed books), because it basically uses sources from the internet, and those can change at any time. If you could add hard sources, it could really improve it., I truly believe this and go overboard getting "good hard evidence" for my contributions, well, did you take a look at San Juan, Puerto Rico, there are "64 References and counting", many of them are even "flaky", it looks like a time bomb, i know User: Dark Dragon Flame may have good intentions, but some may even consider this vandalism, check out what he has written to me User talk:Moebiusuibeom-en in reference to: User talk: Dark Dragon Flame; Re: San Juan, Puerto Rico, in other words, I have to inform him of any tweaks i may find and he will change them!

The worst part of it is that you go to a collegue's talk page to express this istead of communicating it to me. That aside no all references have to be from books, and there is no chance in hell that this will or can be considered vandalism. Second I never told you that you had to inform me, I told you if you needed help with anything to ask me. You were the one to leave me a message in my talk page saying "good work" instead of saying your concern with the refs, talk abou being hypocrite. -凶 07:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

I've responded to your concerns here. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 21:52, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey. I've read your response at User talk:Dark Dragon Flame, and I admire your sincerity. The best thing to do was to talk to Dark Dragon Flame directly and discuss and settle issues and questions directly. It avoids misunderstandings.

But don't sweat. These things happen all the time, and I've been in much worse situations than this believe me. We just keep going on. Your contributions are good and highly necessary, so I just hope we can just get on to editing. Paz. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 23:25, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh My bad

sorry!...i though the stations were already proposed according to some article i read...but probably it wasnt true..Anyways thanks for the editing!EdwinCasadoBaez 13:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Diplomacy

It seems to make sense considering that the Puerto Rico page doesn't have such a section at this moment, I already cleaned it up so it may be just a matter of copy and paste there, probably excluding the "sister cities". However a line mentioning the existense of such embassies should be placed somewhere in the page. -凶 17:03, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey Moeb. What about having a short mention on both articles (San Juan and Puerto Rico), and adding the referenced list to the Politics of Puerto Rico article? - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 11:14, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I learn something new everyday. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 14:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Solo se que no se nada?

That's interesting. Wasn't that a quote from Aristotles (I'm not good in spelling his name). I just happen to see you quote him in Mtmelendez' page and that is one of my favorite quotes.

Golden Mile, Puerto Rico

Yeah, I know what you mean. But I got a better idea... why not merge and include it as a section in the San Juan, Puerto Rico article? The Golden Mile won't have much more content except added pictures, and adding it to San Juan as a new section of Geography could improve its chances of becoming a GA. What do you think? - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 11:22, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I've given this some thought, and I came to the conclusion that maybe we should either merge Golden Mile with Hato Rey (since it is a subdivision) or merge both articles with Subdivisions of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Merging them with San Juan would make it bloated, and WP:MOS states that main articles should contain only generalized info in the main article's (San Juan's) subtopics (subdivisions), with links to the corresponding sub-articles. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 17:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Jardín Botánico

Yes, thanks. The article is shaping up nicely, and I appreciate your good work.

I happened across this, as I worked a bit on an article about the Botanical Garden in St. Vincent, as an example of British colonial "economic botany" projects. This work was done by the East India Company's military surgeons, such as Dr. Hugh Falconer in India and Dr. Young in St. Vincent; some of them were excellent scientists.

Regarding Schaffner's position: Of course, he may have left his position, but I wouldn't know about that.

San Juan, Puerto Rico

No problem. I thought the section was pretty good, and you did all the hard work finding the references and the pictures. I was just tidying up for future GA nomination.

Hey, did you hear? San Juan is now a GA! Check it out! - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 10:31, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

The best part has to be this the improvement is notable and it's satisfiying when hard work pays up, I will file a peer review request shortly to attend any issue remaining to have this article in shipping condition when it's nominated for Featured Article. -凶 13:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Definitely. Also worth mentioning: I recently nominated Rail transport in Puerto Rico for GA. Please keep a close eye in case a reviewer offers suggestions. I hope it can pass too. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 16:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

San Juan Botanical Garden

Remember that this article is about the garden, not the plants. And adding two much detail on such (like "striking") shouldn't be in an article, lest we get some arguments of POV from other users. Let's just try to include info on the Garden. But I do like the photo though. Where did you get it? Is it yours? - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 20:59, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I just reviewed the San Juan Botanical Garden article, making minor edits. I think the article is well written and sourced, but I feel it needs more info before nominating it for GA. Maybe include more information on its management, features, construction, plans, university uses, and such. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 21:19, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but remember that the article is about the Botanical garden, not about the whole subject of Botany. You may want to start an article on Botany in Puerto Rico, and merge info on the Botanical Garden as well as UPR studies on botany, and the flora of Puerto Rico. It's a big task, but it could be a great article. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 22:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

The revisions to this article on June 30th amount to a very hostile and deprecating or belittling review of the San Juan Botanical Garden.

San Juan's tables

Yo Moeb I have an idea for the tables, I will post it here when I finish coding it. -凶 17:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Demographic Distribution

According to the U.S.C.B.

File:CHART 2 .jpg

Excluding Rio Piedras

File:CHART 3 .jpg

Here it is, I think we should use this since it allows the reader to see the chart in full detail and it doesn't spread outside the "Demographics" sub section, what do you think? -凶 18:06, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

What has me worried is that they take up more than one section, in the past I was forced to make sure that images only took space in their respective section to pass FACs, that's why I think we should hide them, it's basically the usual JPG format inside a box and the tables can be seen in full detail. -凶 18:18, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I did a Test 1 to give a clearer idea of what I mean. -凶 18:34, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

I know, but I have been trough this before and believe me when reviewers don't have anything to bite off they follow image location and table format. -凶 18:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Yup, there is a [show] button at the side of both titles if you click there the tables come out in their full detailed size, perhaps a small line detailing how to show them might be useful. -凶 00:11, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Bizarre they should be visible, from what you tell me I think there might be something wrong with your cache, either way I will add a message for now and call it a day, we can see what happens with it tommorow. -凶 02:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

I am starting to think this is taking too much time, perhaps we should finish the other points in the Peer Review and comeback to it after they have been attended, in my opinion prose addition should take priority since it requires more work. -凶 22:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

A custom map would be great, a visible map is an important part of a article regarding a city. I will work with some prose on the sports section when I come back tonight, peace. -凶 19:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Not really, I just moved the "Notable residents" to there temporaly, my intention is to fuse it with a new section on "Arts and culture" where we can mention some notable artists and sportsmen and add the "see also" link on top. -凶 19:20, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Just busy

Hey! Sorry I haven't kept tabs, I've been really busy with work these past few days, and it looks like its going to get busier. I've logged on for a few minutes each day just to check recent changes, but yes, I have noticed 凶's and your work. The article is looking really good now. After answering the peer review suggestions, I would submit it to another peer review just to make sure it has everything (also, ask Joelito to review it, he's really good at that). Then, on to FA! - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 10:17, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Arts and Culture in San Juan

Ok here are some links [2] [3] [4] with some information that I will be working with when I return on Sunday (perhaps late Saturday), this in combination with "Notable Residents" might make a decent section, any ideas of more to add to said section? -凶 21:26, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

I have been attending some personal issues and I haven't seen today's newspaper, I will add the section tommorow when I have some free time perhaps then we can see what is missing from a better perspective. --凶 23:15, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok I have created a new section and posted it on User:Dark Dragon Flame/Sandbox, I decided to post it here so we can work it to perfection before posting it on the article. I think a sub section on the history of Music is a good idea but I have no sources for that information, perhaps Mtmelendez may have some info since he is especialized in history, anyways feel free to edit the section on my sand box as you seem fit to improve it,I will be back in a few hours to add some references to it, Peace. -凶 00:08, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

BTW, Image:Puerta de san juan-.jpg looks great where you added it, and the photo of the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico would be a great addition to the new section. -凶 00:16, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Check it out now, [5] I think it's good enought to replace "Notable Residents" as it is, what do you think? -凶 01:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, so you are tackling the music section? -凶 02:10, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

A section on tourism is a good idea, btw I have developed a "Economy" section wich I will add sometime during the day, after I reference it. --凶 07:34, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

I reverted to the revision when you added the "Tourism" section, all seems to be in place. When adding references some times if you leave the last part of the template as <ref> instead of </ref> it will eat the text, I don't know if this is the case but just letting you know -凶 19:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok I restored your additions to "Tourism" and added a new "Economy" section, where we stand the article can probably pass a Featured Article Candidature, I suggest you add the "Recreation and Parks" section and we ask someone to do some text cleanup and we nominate. As a side note would you be interested in improving Ponce? I am heading there when San Juan makes FA. -凶 23:01, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Tourism needs some expansion, I will copy Encarta's entry on this and leave it on my Sandbox please see if something can be useful, the reference is already being used on the page. I will not be available for a few days but I hope this helps, you can ask Joelito for a review as Mtmelendez suggested before. We definitely need a map. -凶 03:02, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Featured article

I thought this might interest you: El Hatillo Municipality, Miranda; to use as yet another example for San Juan, Puerto Rico. It's a featured article about a municipality in Venezuela. Although they are different cities, the layout and content might prove suitable for San Juan. Hope its useful. - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 02:39, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lucien-Achille_Mauzan.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lucien-Achille_Mauzan.jpg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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. 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. The Sunshine Man 17:42, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Two things

I like the list of Argentine people separated by topic; it seams much more usefull than the plain list. I'm still not sure about the purpose of the article anyway.

On the google his, if I got yo right, it would take a lot of work (or a good script) to make a ranking of those articles on google hits...

Main Page

Surprise! History of Puerto Rico has been selected for presentation on the Main Page for Monday, June 18, 2007 (tomorrow!). My congratulations to all editors who helped bring this important Puerto Rican topic to FA, especially to Joelito. But don't celebrate yet. There's two important things we should do:

1. Review the article. Since it became FA, it has received extensive edits from users, and therefore may need copy-editing and MOS-adjustments for presentation. Some users related to the Main Page-selection process have already made many edits, and we should continue their good work to make sure the article is pristine.
2. WATCH IT!! Given the Main Page's exposure (millions view it every day), FA articles which are presented there get viewed by many people, including vandals. Please watch the page carefully, reverting vandalism as you go. I've seen Main Page articles get overwhelmed with vandalism, and since many more people keep going to it on the Main Page, we don't want them to see a vandalized article. This is a 24 hour task (as long as its presented), and requires the collaboration of the entire Puerto Rico WikiProject.

Well, gente, take pride that on June 18, Puerto Rico's history will be presented on the grandest of pages in Wikipedia. Peace! - Mtmelendez ^{(Talk|UB|Home)} 10:18, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Almost there...

I have been working with information to expand the tourism section, it should be ready by today. We need a reference for the information about the San Juan Waterfront, I'm not sure if you added it but if you took info from somewhere and need me to format the references I will gladly do it. See you later Colega. -凶 07:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok I added the information to the tourism section in San Juan as promised. I was thinking that perhaps we should fuse the "Economy" and "Tourism" sections and create a new Economy and Tourism one, what do you think? -凶 22:20, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Lucien-Achille Mauzan.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lucien-Achille Mauzan.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.

History of Puerto Rico

PD means public domain. Please read Wikipedia:Public_domain#U.S._government_works regarding the use of stamps as free images. Specifically, it states that works of the U.S. Postal Service are subject to copyright.

Regarding the alignment of images I changed them back for two reasons:

1. having left and right-aligned images does not look good at all resolutions (especially left-aligned images).
2. personal preference. Usually esthetical issues are left to the original author's preferences.

On a final note I must agree that you have done an excellent job on PR-related articles. Please remember that I have ample experience in Wikipedia and its processes/procedures and my decisions reflect that. Regards. Joelito (talk) 13:54, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

San Juan FAC

Ok I decided to be bold and I will nominated San Juan as a Featured Article Candidate later today, the peer review has already been attended and archived, in the past I have followed this pattern when raising pages to Featured Article and so far my personal believe is that this is the best way to raise the pages to this status because unlike a Peer Review in FACs there is a massive ammount of people reviewing the articles and willing to help improve it, thanks for all the work you have done in this article and I think we along Mtmelendez make a good team capable of raising all of the remaining articles about Puerto Rico's municipalities if we have the time and focus on doing so, cheers. -凶 10:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Jardin Botanico, been a while since I been there nice calm place as far as I remember. I think that my focus will be on the articles about the municipalities per se but as usual I might be able to work several pages at the same time (for example I have been working with Ejercito Popular Boricua and Héctor Lavoe while working San Juan) and my next goal is Ponce, my logic lies in if we raise the articles about these big cities with a long history and details first the work might flow better when raising the remaining pages as in No dejes para mañana lo que puedes hacer hoy. Now I think Milla de Oro should be merged in Hato Rey and so on. As for the coffee it may be a little hard at this moment, I am moving with my girlfriend to Orlando to study in the campus of La Universidad del Turabo located there on July 1st, so you can imagine how busy we have been with all the packing for the moving, this is the main reason for my limited time here lately and the reason behind why I nominated San Juan for FAC this fast. I will be contributing from a hotel next week until we locate to our new house, but I will hopefully make it back to the island by christmas to visit the family. -凶 20:44, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah Boricua Popular Army is extreme that's the reason I picked it up, for some reason people don't like fixing controversial articles, I really don't care about politics but cleaning that page up was a challenge and I took it. We will see what happens with the mile, the article could probably grow but Hato Rey looks so thin... Be back tommorow, cheers.-凶 05:34, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Dissapointed

It is I who am disappointed in your behavior. Humbleness will get you farther than "have you seen what the articles we're working on looked like three months ago, A MESS, please consult anyone,". I could say the same about the articles I have worked on but I don't.

Have you consider that it was you who should have discussed the changes to the article before performing them not I? The article was promoted to FA with the images aligned to the right after all. Again, I am very dissapointed in your behavior. Joelito (talk) 00:59, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Look closely to the right of the image at http://www.flickr.com/photos/sminor/212752825/ under "Additional information" and you will see a link with the words "Some rights reserved." If you click on that link, you will see that the license the photographer chose does not allow commercial use. This is a non-free image by Wikipedia policy and should be deleted. -Nv8200p talk 21:31, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

But WIkipedia is trying to create free content that anyone can use, non-profit or commercial. If the photographer will change the license that would be great. If the image gets deleted before he changes his license, you can always re-upload the image. -Nv8200p talk 02:21, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

San Fernando, Buenos Aires

Don't know why you de-wikified San Fernando, Buenos Aires without a proper comment, so it had to be reverted. We are trying to wikify articles. Would you care to explain your reasoning behind the edit? (BTW, cool username). Happy wiking! -- Alexf^{(Talk/Contribs)} 19:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alexf, most partidos of Greater Buenos Aires have individual cities and towns and i'm working on filling in "quality data" for several Cities in Buenos Aires Province and categorising them as "Cities in Buenos Aires Province". I'm also filling in Barios of Buenos Aires city amongst other articles, regards Moebiusuibeom-en (talk) 19:13, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Licensing advice

Hello again. First, let me thank you for putting in the effort to get this image for WP - it's a great photo. Second, let me apologize for how tricky the process is - copyright is complex, so the process is unfortunately complex too.

I understand that you received permission from ALSTOM via email. However, the current response you have from ALSTOM is probably not specific enough. It sounds like they would agree to license the image under the "cc-by-sa-3.0" license. So, my suggestion is to email them again and ask if they will agree to license the image under "cc-by-sa-3.0" - the link to the actual license is here, if they want to read exactly what it means. I think it's basically the legal version of what they have already agreed to. After that, I recommend emailing a copy of your request and ALSTOM's response to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, so there is a permanent record of the permission.--Kubigula (talk) 20:53, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Urquiza Line

Hi Moebiusuibeom, There's nothing wrong with your English - I only wish my Spanish was as good!

I have been thinking about setting up separate articles for each of the B.A. suburban railway lines: Linea Belgrano Sur/Norte, Linea San Martin, Linea Mitre, Linea Roca and, of course, Linea Urquiza, which you have just done. I have included a description of these lines in the articles relating to the companies which operate these lines: Metrovias, Metropolitano and TBA, and am planning to move this information to the new articles.

Do you happen to know when the name 'Linea Urquiza' first came into use for describing the B.A. suburban section of the rail network that used to be operated by FC General Urquiza? - was it after privatisation in the 1990s?

Keep up the good work. Best Regards David(Talk • Contribs) 13:14, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Moebiusuibeom, Your input is much appreciated!! It would be great if you could add maps to the 6 new Linea xx (Buenos Aires) articles. I don't understand the whole question of copyright very well so I have avoided so far getting involved with pictures. Yes I used 'Linea', rather than 'Line', because that is part of the official name in Argentina. Incidentally I missed the accent from the 'i' in Linea in all 6 new articles by mistake as I'm sure you've already noticed!! In the case of the Linea Mitre (Buenos Aires) I notice that you have added the Retiro - Rosario- Santa Fe service. Is this strictly part of the Linea Mitre service?? I thought Linea Mitre refers only to the BA suburban services. David(Talk • Contribs) 01:02, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on your new map of BA Rail services - an excellent piece of work which must have taken you a long time. I would have been in touch sooner but I have been away on holiday for the last 2 weeks. Can you make the names of the various lines into links to the relevant article? Keep up the good work. Best regards David(Talk • Contribs) 13:44, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

RE:Placebox

Hi, It could be posiible to add a map of the province/greater buenos aires (like they have on dutch wikipedia) but I dont know how to do it. It just needs the map adding into the placebox parameters and linking so that it displays the pushpin according to the coordinates in the placebox. I'll raise the issue with User:Blofeld of SPECTRE since he did the work on adding the map of Argentina to the placebox in the first place. Kind regards, English peasant 16:21, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The national map should stay but another map of the location of the city on the province would help certainly. Many settlements have two maps -one national and one provincial to improve understanding ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 16:27, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Would it be possible to auto generate the other maps using the coordinates in the placebox? In the same way that the national map is generated. If it is I'd fully support your proposal. I would say that the Greater Buenos Aires map could probably just supersede the provincial map for places in Greater Buenos Aires in order to avoid map overkill and it would be great to include pushpin provincial maps for the other provinces too English peasant 19:39, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi,could you point me to the discussion about the Argentina placebox, I haven't seen anything said at all for 12 days. BLOFELD and I made it clear that it would be OK to make modifications to the placebox, but you didn't respond, how is that discussion/analysis? You can change it now if you like, I don't know how to make maps so I can't do it and BLOFELD is busy, although maybe he would do it for you if you ask him nicely. Also please read Wikipedia:Category#Cycles_should_usually_be_avoided, English peasant 02:01, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

It is a shame if you think removing the infobox is a good idea. There is a drive to add an infobox settlement to every place and a locator map and I believe i speak for may others think they are a very useful asset to articles. I;m afraid as you are in Argentina you're not thinking globally and that many people across the world find it useful to see where it is located in the country, rather than yourself where it is likely to be localised -but I agree a more specific provincial locator iwould be useful but not if it means removing the other. All I can say is the infobox MUST NOT be removed on any article as this is considered vandalism but we can see about creating provincial locator maps in addition. If you think the infobox is too big, you can alter the size of the map anyway which reduces it. You would need to create something like Template:Location map Buenos Aires Province if you would like a pushpin regionally too, to make it work. Other than this I think it would be a good solution to find a map which displays the provincial boundaries within the country. If you see Callao in Peru I believe that sort of map kills two birds with one stone so to speak. Regards ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 12:36, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes the reason why we didn't use the image you see on the right was because it doesn't work -it places towns out in the Atlantic unfortunately. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 12:59, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

They use this one on Dutch wiki Image:Buenos aires province.png, They also have this one Image:Buenos Aires outline map.svg for Greater Buenos Aires. I am requesting that they be added as additional parameters to the settlement box. Additionally I would appreciate it if you refrained from accusing me of vandalism, I have added the settlement box to hundreds of other places without any complaints and I will eventually get round to doing all the settlements in Buenos Aires Province, Partido Cabeceras first, then the rest. It is better if we try and remain calm over content disputes rather than insulting each other. Regards English peasant 13:38, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

All places within Greater Buenos Aires will soo have the map you see on Tigre. Replacing it with a better one (something like the one on this article) should be easy. 1 edit to the location map template will change the map in all the placeboxes using the current one. If you think you can design it go ahead, but remember it has to be properly scaled or the pushpin wont work properly. Also see the two maps in use in the province of Bs As on Monte Hermoso. English peasant 21:50, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I've started to create the provincial maps which I think solve some of the issues concerned ealrier, The thing is people who don;t live in Argentina often don't know where the provinces are and a national location mark puts the article in its geograpical place. I would advise against creating a new map unless it is based on official latitude and longitude grids where they would be compatible with the infobox and pin pointer. I don't like the see infoboxes too big either but the edits the peasant and I made earlier I think are a step in the right direction ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 21:58, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I don';t know if you are aware but I;ve created locator maps for over a hundred countries worldwide see User:Blofeld of SPECTRE/Missing locator maps. Most of them are very consistent with the usage of maps for each country, but unfortunately the Argentine one didn't work so we had to use a different one. If you compare the existing national one with dutch wikipedia you;ll see it is a big improvement over that. Personally I'd rather use the map per standard as on the above right but as I said it wasn't compatible with the pin ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 22:03, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Image:Garita del Morro.jpg

A tag has been placed on Image:Garita del Morro.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [8], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

• state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.

Argentine Railway Maps

I am looking forward to seeing the promised railway maps! Best wishes David(Talk • Contribs) 10:08, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Your maps are very neat. How do you produce them? For maps of BA suburban services I am happy with regular spacing of stations although maps with the proper scaled distances between stations will obviously convey more information. Eventually I would like to include maps of all the major British and French-owned companies where the distances are large and should, I think, be scaled. Best regards.David(Talk • Contribs) 16:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Please watch out for this kind of error. It's "its", not "it's", which is a contraction for the long form "it is". ("It is" means Eso es and "its" means su). Regards. --Damifb (talk) 11:52, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Fusion

Hi Moebiusuibeom-en, If I understand the discussion correctly the question is whether Linea Urquiza and F.C. Urquiza should have separate articles. My understanding is that Linea Urquiza is the urban portion of the former F.C.Urquiza and is still used as a name to refer to this service. I believe F.C.Urquiza is a name which went out of use after privatisation? If you live in Argentina you will be in a better position to know than me. I believe it's better to retain 2 separate articles. I am looking forward to seeing your maps. Best regards David(Talk • Contribs) 10:35, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Rail transport in Argentina

Hi there! I am not an admin, but I can tell you that writing an article after clicking "Edit this page" atop a redirect article is encouraged under WP:BOLD (more words in my talk page) - Go for it!... and happy writing. B.Wind (talk) 01:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I realize that creating an article from a redirect can be a bit tricky, since to get back to the redirect in order to edit you need to go via the "redirected from <article name>" notice which will be at the top of the article you are redirected to. OK, I have probably confused you even more now, so to make it simple, just click here and you will be ready to create an article for "Rail transport in Argentina". Good luck, and happy editing! :-) Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:26, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you, Sjakkalle. I knew I was forgetting something there. After the first dozen or so of these, it's easy to do this without thinking... and I plead "guilty as charged." B.Wind (talk) 00:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Image:Estacion-Saldias.jpg

Could you please provide a link to the place where the author explicitly releases the image under CC 3.0 and GFDL? J Milburn (talk) 16:58, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid that permission for use on Wikipedia is not enough- the copyright holder will have to release it into the public domain or under a license Wikipedia counts as free. This is so that content is free for others than just Wikipedia to use. Could you possibly contact the uploader and request that it is released? J Milburn (talk) 17:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

If he emails you releasing the images, you can forward the email to OTRS, as explained here. If the copyright holder wants the image only to appear on Wikipedia, no where else, then I am afraid we cannot accept it, as we aim to have content that others can freely use. Is it alright if I delete the image until you have express permission, or do you think you will be able to get a reply pretty quickly? (On another note, I am aware how awkward requesting images is- it took me days of chatter to get the images on Connie Talbot released...) J Milburn (talk) 18:13, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

If push came to shove and it all ended up in court, they probably would be. In the mean time, it doesn't do much for Wikipedia's image and goals to have content against its policies lying around! Thanks for dealing with it, I'm sure OTRS will handle it from here. J Milburn (talk) 20:00, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's no problem! See you around J Milburn (talk) 20:48, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Mauzan-Sublimes .jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Mauzan-Sublimes .jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hi

I noticed your edits on the articles on the Ford Falcons. Would you be able to look over the article on the Argentinian version for me and check there are no obvious errors or things that should be mentioned but aren't? I rewrote much of the article some time ago, relying on a combination of machine-translated sources and puzzling out more difficult words and phrases so it could certainly use some attention from a native speaker. Thanks -- Nevard 13:55, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I've added the disambig to the Aussie model. I'm afraid it was easiest for me to understand the cosmetic and superficial technical information (engine volume, etc) so that's why the bulk of the history is made up of that. I'm sure there's a lot of stuff on mechanical changes (tougher suspension, etc) that I missed. Some freely licensed photos would be good too but I doubt I could make myself understood to the people who've taken them. Nevard (talk) 05:40, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Hmm, thanks for the heads-up on that. I'd only seen the Spanish version before. The Italian and Lithuanian Wikipedias seems to be the only other language versions that use the disambig/model name pages we have going. I'd agree that a good summary article is probably the way to move forward rather than a couple of links on a disambig page, and the German article does look quite good. I think I might look at starting on one later tonight. Nevard (talk) 00:23, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Auto Union 1000

Thanks for adding some information about the car in Latin America. Interesting information.

However, I do not understand why you have hreaded up the info box with a picture of a DKW 3=6. The cars are similar but not identical, and the two major external differences - the name and the arrangement of the front - are the principal differences. Both of which are clear in this picture taken from the front. The picture you have selected is perfectly fine but it, surely, is of the wrong car. And you have left in the 'gallery' section at least one picture of the 'right' car.

But I did not (not yet...) switch them back in case you have a good reason for switching the images as you did! Please share any thoughts. Thanks Regards Charles01 (talk) 08:51, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I like that one - the one with the little Dutch flag on the front grill. Actually I like the one with the extra lights too, because I think it's a slightly better focused, less distorted by the widening of the lens angle and and maybe a more unusual / interesting color and taken from a slightly better angle. And the eye-lids - sad or not - are the sort of things people used put on their cars in the 1960s at least here in Europe. But I suppose they do look a bit weird to the modern eye, and I don't see the point of them unless it was to correct some obscure propensity to dazzle which couldn't be corrected by the reflector within the lamp unit.... Not my area of expertise.

I guess I don't really have too strong an opinion either way between these two pictures. But please don't, on my account, hold off replacing the DKW picture with one of them!

Where am I from? I'm born in and living in England, though I've lived in other places between times. I've never been to South America, but my grandfather was born in Chile to which his grandfather had emigrated (from Michigan or maybe Wisconsin) 1857 to build railroads. (I think he was a surveyor, so the man with the pencil rather than the man with a shovel: he was quite plump and seems to have eaten too much sugar.) I guess that's my South American connection, but not a very recent one and it doesn't mean I can understand much Spanish. Regards Charles01 (talk) 14:52, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

I answered you on my user page on the little DKW / Auto Unions from the 1950s. Though I don't think I have provided any very compelling reaction on your comments! Regards Charles01 (talk) 17:55, 14 December 2008 (UTC)

La Trochita page photo captions

You wrote that "Rewording captions as "dumped" is misleading, great efforts are being taken to keep this extensive long narrow gauge steam in working order witch i have witnessed!"

I don't doubt that you are sincere in your support for La Trochita, but your lack of familiarity with steam loco operation and maintenance has lead you to make a number of remarks that are incorrect, which is why I altered the captions.

There's nothing misleading about describing the two Henschels at Nahuel Pan as being dumped, for that's what they are. That's how professional steam railwaymen - which is what I am - describe engines that are no longer operable, and have little likelihood of being returned to traffic, which is the case for these two locos.

While you are correct to a point about engines being "cannibalised" for parts to keep other running, you've a made a number of assumptions which are incorrect.

Locos get withdrawn from service because they have major defects, and then they are stripped for parts afterwards. They aren't withdrawn if they are operable just to supply parts for other locos. Both the Nahuel Pan Henschels have boilers that are beyond economic repair - that they have been stripped of usable parts is secondary to that fact.

Your other mistaken assumption is that steam loco maintenance involves buying-in parts from the manufacturer or an aftermarket supplier. But this is usually not the case. One of the great advantages of steam over diesel is that most components are not proprietary, and can be made by tradesmen with relatively simple facilities and limited resources. What I saw at El Maiten was a good example of this. My observation of the workshop staff and facilities there is that they are quite capable of fabricating the sorts of small parts needed to keep the remaining engines in service for a few years more, such as rod and bearing brasses, piston rings, cylinder and valve chest liners, crosshead slippers, and the like.

Where they WILL have a problem in the future is sourcing new boilers when they need replacing. El Maiten is not equipped to fabricate new boilers, they are only set up for minor repairs or overhauls. No amount of cannibalising other engines will help in that situation.

All the best,

gallery widths

Hi. I've seen your recent edits to Draisine, particularly the adjustment to the gallery.

Can I just alert you to the fact that a value of 6 will extend a gallery beyond the width of a standard 1024x768 monitor? For the user to see the image, the page will need to be scrolled sideways. I think users will find this annoying. A value of '5' will give a wider gallery with standard image sizes, without causing this problem.

I will adjust the width at Draisine when I proof-read the page later. Regards -- EdJogg (talk) 09:31, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

• Estación H. Yrigoyen - Falta. Está ubicada donde figuran en este mapa las letras del nombre de la estación "Buenos Aires" del Belgrano Sur. O sea entre Constitución y Avellaneda, del lado de Capital.

• Estación Zeballos - Error ortográfico. Figura como "Zebballos".

• Estación Vucetich - Cerrada para transporte de pasajeros. Ha quedado abandonada, pero UGOFE no la ha descatalogado, así que supongo que conviene dejarla en el mapa.

• Estación Don Bosco - Falta. Entre Wilde y Bernal. Aquí: -34.703379°, -58.296016°.

Vías muertas:

Mira... estuve revisando y todo lo que tienes marcado como "Otros servicios", son vías muertas. A saber:

• La vía que unía Haedo y Caseros.

• Las dos que van más allá de González Catán, tanto en dirección hacia 20 de Junio como hacia Canning. Éste último dicen que llegaba hasta Km 88 en La Plata. Abandonado, le habrían levantado el cambio de vías. Por tanto es totalmente inaccesible.

• De Alejandro Korn hacia San Vicente. Ramal clausurado.

• De Ringuelet a Coronel Brandsen - Por ahí pasaba 'El Platense', un tren que unía La Plata con Mar del Plata. Cuando cesó el servicio quedó abandonado.

• Más allá de la Estación Marinos del Crucero Gral. Belgrano (hacia Km. 38, Romero, etc.), es vía muerta.

• El ramal que salía del Urquiza en la estación Rubén Darío

Puedes conseguir más información sobre ramales clausurados en éste foro: http://www.forotransportes.com/showthread.php?t=235

Si para la nueva version te interesa incluir una categoría de vías muertas, me avisas. Puedo investigar, calcarlas del Google Earth y enviarte el archivo. Hay varias vías muertas... Por ejemplo, toda una línea de (ex)estaciones desde Avellaneda hacia el sur (Fernandez, Mte. Chingolo, Pasco, etc). Y desde cerca de Villa Elisa hasta Punta Lara.

No da tener que estar entrando a Wikipedia a mirar si me escribieron. No suelo mirar mi talk page seguido. Y usted que hace por acá? Cavenaghi9 (talk) 03:58, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Y? Como le ha ido el viaje? Tireme un mail cuando pueda, para saber a que dirección puedo pasarle un par de archivos kml? Cavenaghi9 (talk) 05:25, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Railbus and railcar

Help me understand why you have removed a significant amount of material on the railbus from the railcar article? Have you transferred it elsewhere? AFAIK there is no universal hard and fast distinction between the two; the terms are nowadays used interchangeably in some quarters. I think it would be helpful if you put the text back and opened a discussion on the talk page about the changes. --Bermicourt (talk) 06:22, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Capital MetroRail

Yes, I'm aware that the Texan system is using Stadler main-line stock. The term 'tram-train' was adopted through discussion on the article's talk page, as the best way to characterise the system's combination of existing railways with on-street running, not as a description of the vehicles themselves (though modern European trains do bear a stronger resemblance to trams than to anything that the U.S. government would allow to run under heavy-rail rules). In this case, it's really only a question of the direction from which you're approaching the dividing line. I've modified the wording slightly to avoid any potential confusion.

I'm glad you like the maps! My current focus is on an improved version of the Vancouver SkyTrain map to coincide with the opening of the Canada Line. David Arthur (talk) 20:38, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

File:Estacion-Saldias.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:Estacion-Saldias.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion 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. Alpertron (talk) 19:18, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

I deleted this file until you can send the permission into OTRS. It would be better if you could get the version of the photo that does not have the copyright text on it. When you get permission sent in, just write in the email that the image has been deleted and ask for them to undelete it. Or you can ask on my talk page. kmccoy (talk) 13:19, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

Westwood rim

Nice picture! -AndrewDressel (talk) 15:48, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, one or two rim cross sections would make nice additions to the bicycle wheel article. -AndrewDressel (talk) 16:02, 2 March 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Geniol .jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Geniol .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).

PLEASE NOTE:

• I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
• I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
• If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
• To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to your talk page.
• If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 00:00, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Sprint Rims

Holy Smokes! Thanks for commenting out my comment that "One manufacturer calling their rims "sprint" doesn't make all tubular rims "sprint" rims." I never meant for that to go into the article. I must have been crazy tired to mistake the article for the edit summary. -AndrewDressel (talk) 13:08, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

"Tubs", eh? How do they refer to just one? "Hand me that tubs, would you?" As for "tubular rims", check out this sentence from the Park Tool Website "The tubular is then glued to a special rim, called a tubular rim." Finally, I would not mess with the spelling of "tyre" or "tire" with a ten-foot pole. (I realize upon rereading this that it may sound sarcastic, critical, or harsh. I completely do not mean it that way. I am enjoying learning about this stuff.) -AndrewDressel (talk) 23:23, 23 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:File 48105 42974.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:File 48105 42974.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:58, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:File 48105 42974.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:File 48105 42974.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. FASTILY_sock^(TALK) 06:27, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
