Note that material earlier than July, 2007 has been archived to the appropriate page shown on the tabs above.

The purpose in moving my original user talk page was to allow new comments to come up first, and I could notice it faster than added comments. As I read comments, I'll move them to that page. Be sure you put a title in your item so I can know what it's generally about.

If you want to add something to the subject, please use the same title so I know what it's related to. Also, sign your entry with --~~~~ so I can send you a response if you want one.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Dido 200x200.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dido 200x200.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 03:30, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 22:07, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Old images on Wiktionary

Hello! I'm a Wiktionary administrator who's glad to see you're still active in Wikimedia. We're in the proces of clearing out the last 50 images and audio files on Wiktionary, and moving them all to Commons. Long, long ago (Jan 2004), you uploaded a couple of images on Wiktionary. Would you mind uploading these two to Commons?

• wikt:Image:Bang_icon_32x32.jpg
• wikt:Image:Smile_icon_32x32.jpg

When you do, please let me know so I may delete the versions on Wiktionary without losing any information. Also, if the file names have to change, please let me know what the new names are. I'd do this myself except that Commons has no migration tool that accomodates Wiktionary, so the image would appear under my name rather than yours, and I don't wish to take credit for your work. Thanks, --EncycloPetey 20:30, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

These icons have been uploaded to Commons, but as .png images. The references to them on the 3 pages of Wiktionary that used them have been edited to use the PNG images from Commons. The JPGs on Wiktionary may now be deleted. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 07:15, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! --EncycloPetey 07:16, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

bike permit

your edit http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AMeetup%2FDC_2&diff=145390244&oldid=145359840 isn't right - they haven't required permits in quite some time, just FYI. Aaronw 17:23, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

List of disco artists (L-Z)

I have reviewed and declined your request to delete the redirect List of disco artists (L-Z). If you click "what links here", all the main articles still point to the L-Z list, so the redirect is helpful in directing users who click links to the correct article location. If all of the links were changed, you'd have a better case for deletion. If you are still interested in pursuing the matter, please see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion.-Andrew c ^[talk] 23:00, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Mississippi River bridges

Thanks for creating the map. I moved it into {{Infobox bridge}} in those articles so the layout would look a little cleaner.

You're welcome; I'm using it as an 'excuse' to get more practice working with Inkscape. Yes, the articles do look cleaner with the map as part of the bridge infobox; in fact, I created another map to go further 'up' the current map and to add a few more bridges. So on the pages that the old map didn't cover (which didn't have the map), I put the map in, using the info from the pages you changed to know how to put the map in the infobox. In fact, if I had known the infobox supported a map I might have put it there first. But thanks, anyway. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 18:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

By the way, the Short Line Bridge over the Mississippi River is still open, though not in the greatest shape. CP Rail (or Minnesota Commercial Railway) made some repairs to the bridge after last summer's fireworks vandalism, and as far as I know, trains are using the bridge again. You might want to update the map. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 17:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Uh, the article for the Short Line Bridge says some parts of it have a 50-pound weight limit. I and my wheelchair weigh ten times that much, so I think that 'closed' is an adequate statement until the article is corrected. As long as the article claims the bridge is closed I don't see much point updating the image. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 18:01, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Template cleanup

A few templates you created, Template:AprilThuCalendar, Template:Area code 351 & 978, and Template:Area code Canada footer, have been marked for deletion as deprecated and orphaned templates. If, after 14 days, there have been no objections, the templates will be deleted. If you wish to object to their deletion, please list your objections here and feel free to remove the {{deprecated}} tag from the templates. If you feel the deletions are appropriate, no further action is necessary. Cheers. --MZMcBride 22:49, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

American films

Ah great idea for the films using the bold letter headers!! I thought I was having to do thes elists I created alone!!. Any work you can do will be more than appreciated ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 19:33, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

However creatong a Template:Film Record is a terrible idea and has messed up the 2006 tables. How are users editing supposed to know which column is which when editing???? It also messes up the page alignment - I would like to use the full width of the page thankyou like 2007. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 20:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Whilst your work them is great can we please stick to the standard tables just with your letter headers - the problem is is that using templates to contruct tables is a bad idea. One slight change to the template and the whole entire list of films will be affected and it makes editing them confusing and difficult. Can we stick to standard please but incorporate your letter divides? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 20:18, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

For instance you sleect edit on tha tables expecting to see the tables and you see just a {{{{{1}}}}}. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 20:23, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Can we keep it like American films of 1993 ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^{"Expecting you?" Contribs} 20:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of 31st century

31st century, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions. However, an editor does not feel that 31st century satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in the nomination space (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and the Wikipedia deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/31st century and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You are free to edit the content of 31st century during the discussion but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion discussion. Thank you. Rambutan (talk) 16:43, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

List of North American area codes now a disambiguation page

List of North American area codes was moved to List of NANP area codes and turned into a disambiguation page. That editor didn't fix any of those links so there are now a few hundred ambiguous links left pointing at this page. As many of these links were added by you (e.g. here) I thought you might be interested. Unfortunately, instead of being part of a template these links are plain old links, so there's no easy fix.

Conflict exchange

Hi, I tagged this as vandalism since I could find no sources - however you clearly are an exchange expert so it may in fact be original research. Needs some sources either way. Regards

Texas area codes

I noticed on this map [1] showed Cottle county and others to have area code 940. I'm certain that Cottle county and others nearby have the 817 area code, though I'm not sure about where one starts and the other ends, but this map [2] may be a little closer to what it really is. Brian Pearson 00:57, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Looking at this entry on Whitepages.com shows that Cottle County is in area code 806. I looked at the area code 940 page and Cottle county is not present there. In fact, that's probably where I got the list of counties for each area code. Nor does Whitepages show Cottle county in area code 817. So I'm not sure what the problem is. The map is not perfect, it's a rough drawing for approximation purposes (I am working on a better one but it's not ready yet), which is why the printed list of cities and counties is supposed to be definitive in case the map is slightly off. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 02:53, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Area Codes

I noticed some maps of area codes from you, do you have a map for all area codes, or just certain ones? Ctjf83 13:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Response please? Ctjf83 00:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Excuse the delay in not responding, I did see your first message but I got sidetracked by other issues. I have one for the whole country, which I haven't completely checked for accuracy. I've been busy with some other things. I have since discovered a (blank) map covering the U.S. and Canada (not just the U.S.) so I'm considering moving my map to that one as a base for the complete map. If you're interested I can let you have a copy subject to the understanding it might have errors or omissions. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 01:58, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'm just mostly concerned with my area code map, and neighboring ones..specificly 563,319,309..and I guess every Iowa one would be good too 515, 712, and 641...or are u sayin u just have them all listed, and i would have to make my own map? Ctjf83 02:23, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

There is a map of Iowa now available, Image:Area code IA.svg, check out the page for Area code 712 for an example. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 03:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the notification, although all I really did to List of Iowa area codes was some copyediting. I agree that that's the way it should be done. Also, the new map looks excellent. Good work! :-) · Tygrrr^·talk· 22:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

4F

The strangest thing just happened. I was reverting some vandalism, nothing too strange about that unfortunately, but the article itself, 4F, just seemed like a piece of garbage about a band that did not even seem to exist. The article was pure idiot nonsense. So, I tagged it db-band, and was just about to place a notice for same on the article creator's page, which according to the article history, was you. But, looking at your userpage, your list of contributions, etc., you did not seem the sort to create such an idiotic article. So, I looked back at the edit history, and found that MirokuX7 had hijacked what was by now a redirect to the Selective Service System article and turned it into the putrid mess I just a few moments ago restored to its status as a redirect. It never ceases to amaze me, the stunts people will pull. I thought you might it interesting. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 04:08, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I did think it rather strange that there was not an article about the "4F" designation 'til this year, but sometimes things happen that way. I will be keeping an eye on it, and the mischievous individual who altered it. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 14:41, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

{{cy}}

Hmm... I created both templates... forgive me, but I have no idea what the use is of the new cy template. Kennewick, Washington doesn't really take longer to write than {{subst:cy|Kennewick|Washington}} ... so could you explain the new use? (My userpage was the only use of cy for the obvious reason that it's always substituted... I've found it to be a helpful redirect, personally.) Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 05:06, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Slider widget.png

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Slider widget.png. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Liftarn 14:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

State Flags on Radio Market Templates

Hello, just wanted to let you know that while we appericate you adding the animated flags to the radio market templates, they are techincally not allowed and have been removed. The only flags allowed are like these and they are only to be used on pages about states, the towns in them, etc. Radio templates pretty much stay as they are. Now, if you would like to try and incorporate the little flags, please post on WP:WPRS, WP:VP and WP:AN and get consensus there. I doubt that will happen (most admin allow those tiny flags like above on city/state pages) but it is worth a shot.

Good job, though, on being bold with your edits. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 14:33, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Bad fair use of Image:Leeroy Jenkins.png

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Leeroy Jenkins.png, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Leeroy Jenkins.png is an image with a clearly invalid fair use tag; or it is an image that fails some part of the non-free content criteria and the uploader has been given 48 hours' notification (for images uploaded after 2006-07-13) or seven days' notification (for images uploaded before that date). (CSD I7).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Leeroy Jenkins.png, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page.

Radiation Symbol images

On Commons, you contributed a magenta radiation warning symbol Image:radiation warning symbol-US.svg, which amazingly enough, is something less than 500 bytes. Then someone had the one for black on yellow, which you substituted another one, and while theirs was 5K, yours was again only about 412 bytes. However, yours was black with no background rather than black on yellow, so they reverted it. I took your symbol, put a yellow square behind it, and it comes up 2 1/2K. I looked at the file in Wordpad (fortunately SVG images are text rather than binary) and discovered Inkscape adds a lot of metadata which isn't really necessary for interpreting the image (or at least it isn't in this case), so I cut and pasted the rectangle as text from one to the other, and I come up with one that's 720 bytes, which is amazing, so I have replaced the previous one which was 5K. I have also re-uploaded the one you did so that it is also available by itself.

I have to admit that I was unaware of how much power the SVG specification has in terms of making images that can be much smaller (due to the capability for an image to replicate and rotate part of itself.) I like SVG for its capacity to automatically resize as the image is shrunk or expanded, but I didn't realize how really versatile it is, or how a master of the specification such as your self can do amazing things with it. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 23:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

The "useless metadata" (that is, useless for every program except Inkscape and perhaps Sodipodi) is one of the reasons I rarely use Inkscape, and code most of my SVG files by hand. If you want to learn more about the specification, I suggest reading http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/ (not the whole contents, of course, but only the parts you want to use).

Thank you for your message. --Fibonacci 09:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Jack Webb 250.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jack Webb 250.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:32, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:PLUS_Logo_60x40.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:PLUS_Logo_60x40.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 ensure 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 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. Project FMF (talk) 23:21, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:UL_100x50.jpg

Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Cream skimming

Paul, I'm concerned that this article comes across as an excuse to level charges at a specific company, or at least takes a particular point of view. Furthermore, we need some verification that the specific phrase "cream skimming" is notable and in common usage. I think you can fix this, but it does need fixing. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:50, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, the sourcing is getting better — I think you were posting more as I was posting my original message. It might help if you could find an additional source from sme sort of news media, especially one that specifically uses the phrase "cream skimming." But you seem to be headed in the right direction. Just watch the POV. Hey, you've been around WP even longer than I have, so you know the drill. (By the way, the tabs deal you have at the top of this page is neat! Is that a script or something I can grab?) - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 17:56, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. By the way, I just saw the phrase used in the School vouchers article (see the "opponents" section), so you might want to work that in. Also found this in reference to health insurance: [3] I think we can now safely establish that the phrase is in widespread use. I don't have time to work this stuff in myself - gotta go back to work. BTW, thanks for the tabs info. A new project for me to work on! - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:01, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Help needed

I have used the codes on Wikipedia:Tutorial/TabsHeader to create Wikipedia:WikiProject Bangladesh/Deshipidian tabs. But, I can't get the edit tag to show along with headers on the pages I used it in. Can you help? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 17:12, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
