Orphaned non-free media (Image:CNN-globe-logo 400x121px.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:CNN-globe-logo 400x121px.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Historic locations, how to describe, policy?

Hi, thanks for stopping by: I've made several edits recently on historical event / people pages. Particularly with reference to Wales - people often say things like (paraphrasing)"Gruffudd_ap_Cynan landed in St.Davids in the South of Wales". Well at that times Wales didn't exist. So instead I've written it as just being "to the South" of Gwynedd and that it's in modern day Pembrokeshire, South Wales. I feel I should really qualify that though, they might rewrite the counties next year and the entry would then be wrong - there must be a general policy on this? So what is the right way to edit these things??

Maybe WP:PLACES will help. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 01:32, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, Wikipedia:PLACES#Counties_of_Britain doesn't really help much. Nor does the talk - it seems to say use the current county names and that historic names can be mentinoed bracketed. That's fine, but we're going back to times where there wasn't really any central administration. Anyone else want to chip in?

That would seem to work to me - something like "Whats-his-face landed south of modern-day Footown, Barcounty, known then as Foobar" - if Foobar didn't exist even back then, just leave that bit out. If things change, we can update them, that's one of the good things about not having Wikipedia on paper. Hope this helps. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 22:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 13:52, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Boxer rebellion translation

Hi there, the banner reads: "欽令義和團糧臺", which translates literally as: "By Imperial Order -- The Righteous and Harmonious Society -- Office in charge of Grains."

I retained the "Boxer" and the "Commisariat" from the previous version, which translated the banner as "Boxer Commissariat". My translation was "By Imperial Order - Boxer Supply Commissariat".

My translation was a compromise between the older version, which was inaccurate though it conveyed the idea, with the literal and accurate translation. I retained "Boxer" because that's the common name for the group in English (and not "The Righteous and Harmonious Society"). The "Commissariat" is I guess as good as any as a translation for a rank with no exact or even determinable equivalent in English.

Please feel free to edit the translation as you see fit. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 03:20, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
