I hope that you have a wonderful New Year. Dont forget to party like, well like its New years eve!!!!

.

please revert changes to mycomorphbox

Hello Shyam Bihari - thanks for trying to use the commons version of the icons in the mycomorphbox. However, substituting the commons name is causing non english words to appear on many pages. See for example amanita muscaria which now says "cap is plan or välvd." Can you please revert your recent burst of changes to these mushroom pages, or re-tool the template to fix the problem. I would suggest the former, all else being equal, because messing up that template would interfere with about 180 pages. Debivort 07:34, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Debivort, the images will have to be replaced by commons images. I do not seek any goodness in reverting the changes. I would say to make appropriate changes in the template to remove the non-english word. Could you make some changes in the template to solve this problem. I would request you for not reverting changes which will cause to restore the images which are already available on commons. Regards, Shyam ^(T/C) 07:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm dissapointed in your response. You are using a policy "commons images are preferable over en.wiki images" to excuse a bunch of edits that have reduced the quality of pages. And then you want me to mop up the changes by adapting the template. It would be more appropriate if either: 1) you reverted the changes and made the articles once again legible or 2) fixed the template yourself. I am currently on vacation and do not have the time to recode the template. So I will leave it in your hands whether or not you want to leave the articles in their current damaged condition. Debivort 08:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Shyam, Thanks for reverting the changes to the mycomorphbox, and the pages that transclude it. It looks like things are back to normal now. If it's any consolation - all the commons versions of the icons are still available for use on the other projects, which is really the goal of exporting images to the commons I suppose. Cheers, Debivort 06:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Daily image deletion subcategories

Hello, could you please tell me what the template for starting subcategories of Category:Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons is? It looks like it should be {{Images with the same name on Wikimedia Commons subcategory starter}}, but this template surprisingly doesn't exist. Conscious 16:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Now I have created the templates, and the links to create subcategories seem to work. Conscious 10:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replacing an image to add source information

Re: Image:BoyGeorge.jpg - an image you deleted -- I would like to request an undeletion, so I may add source information to the photo, as indicated.

Thank you!

Jenolen ^{speak it!} 22:38, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have undeleted the image as of now. Please add the source to the image as soon as possible. Adding fair use rationale (not necessary) would be appericiable. Regards, Shyam ^(T/C) 05:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IRA Volunteer

Have you actually read any of the discussions, arguments or REASONING given on this mediation page? You have made a decision but have changed your mind on the subject at least three times. Now you have made a decision without giving any reasons. I know why you haven’t given any reasons - it is because there is NO REASAON WHAT SO EVER not to allow members of IRA's be called by their rank of Volunteer - you are just trying to appease instead of actually making a logical decision. You really need to give some reasons for your proposed solution because it is totally ridiculous to split the various IRA's and ignore the rank of Volunteer in all IRA's - How the hell can you have various members of the current IRA have ranks such as - Army Council Officer, Chief of Staff, Quartermaster General, Commander etc etc but not have the most basic rank - it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever - I am probably going to leave wiki if you are aloud to get away with total crazyness like this - you are obviously ignorant of the issues at hand and are just trying to appease those making the most noise instead of making a correct decision Vintagekits 21:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shyam, I went out and took some photos of a grave stone of a local IRA man called Joseph MacManus that was killed during an ambush in 1992, in the photo you can see how the rank of Volunteer (and its Irish translate Oglach) was used - see here Image:MacManus Headstone Straight.jpg, I hope this assists --Vintagekits 22:09, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:E and H Plane PD-h-yagi.png

I have not been back to Wikipedia in a while. My diagram Image:E and H Plane PD-h-yagi.png certainly contains the following notice:

This diagram shows the E and H Planes for a horizontally polarized yagi antenna. Note that the E-Plane is horizontal and H-Plane is vertical. I, Konrad Roeder, created this image for Wikipedia, but have released it into the public domain.

Clearly, I created the image and released it into the public domain. So I'm having a difficulty in understanding the copyright issue you have. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kgrr (talk • contribs) 02:26, 4 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Hey Shyam! Thanks for the review. I've been quite busy these last two days and haven't been able to attend to them. Will surely get to them by this weekend. Regards, --thunderboltz^(Deepu) 15:28, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

IRA Volunteer use

Hi Shyam, I'd just like to point out that User:Vintagekits is posting the following to certain users on their talk page, hence the large number of "disagrees" we are seeing:

"Go to this page, an Indian guy is being forced by Loyalists and West Brit who are demanding that the rank of Volunteer is banned for describing the rank of members of the IRA – if you do not voice your opinion on this then they are going to get away with this bull Vintagekits 22:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)"

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Padraig3uk"

Surely this amounts to: 1. Several personal attacks (see West Brit); 2. Canvassing; 3. Not assuming good faith (I doubt any of us are 'loyalists' or 'West Brits', and he is implying that your nationality has something to do with your decision). 88.107.5.213 15:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC) (Logica)[reply]

1. Since when is it a personal attack to be a West Brit or Loyalist? 2. Canvassing? I sent it to editors already involved in the discussion! 3. I always assume good faith --Vintagekits 15:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Loyalists and West Brits? Indian Guy? I don't see any need for this kind of sectarianism and racism on wiki. I think some action needs to be taken against Vintagekits here, which is a pity as he has been fair enough to deal with in the past but he has overstepped the mark Weggie 16:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stop trying to stir up trouble Weggie! Shyam is Indian and a Guy - what is the problem with that? Stop trying to cause trouble --Vintagekits 16:51, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Please stop editing-war on my talk page. I had already said to Vintagekits, not to campaign for the mediation cabal. It is really a serious problem. I would say all of you to get cooled down. I would say to Vintagekits to assume good faith on others. Regards, Shyam ^(T/C) 16:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree, and when Shyam asked me not to inform anyone else - I assumed good faith and did so at his request --Vintagekits 17:08, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image:JellyfishAtMBA.jpg (this is broken despite a redirect)

Greetings:

While I appreciate your moving the image to Commons, adding the proper binomial name, and updating my user page by fixing the sidebar image, you missed a second display of this in my gallery of weekly images. I attempted to add a redirect from the old name Image:JellyfishAtMBA.jpg but this failed. Perhaps this is a deficiency in the server software. As you have deleted the original, I assume that you have administrator status and will know who to contact in on the WP technical side. Try:Image:JellyfishAtMBA.jpg, this is the redirect and it is broken. The broken image at right will lead to an upload page. This is inconsistant behaviour from the server. Also adding a comment to the redirect page causes the full size image to be displayed on the redirect page! (not tested to see if this fixes the redirect problem)

Best wishes, - Leonard G. 05:43, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Odd table

Hello Shyam, do you happen to be any good with strange wikitables? I'm pretty advanced but I have got one that even I can't change what I need to change.--WilsBadKarma ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 07:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ok here is what I'm dealing with. The list that I'm using the table on is List of United States Navy ratings. I'm using a template for each rating Template:Military_list. The template is a variation of Template:Episode list that I created, it's a table used for Television episodes. Anyway the problem I'm having is with the Military list template I want to put a colored line or spacer in between each rating in all the tables that it produces. I can add one if I put a <br> in between each template set on the list page it will display a blue line but it's huge and I want it smaller. I have screwed around with this thing for three days now and can't seem to fix it. If you happen to see how to fix the problem I would appreciate it. --WilsBadKarma ^{(Talk/Contribs)} 22:39, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can I use the image?

May i add that this user has been harassing me in Armenian and flooding my page with messages when i asked him to stop. Nareklm 07:55, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you remove http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ararat3.jpg ? Ararat arev 07:58, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My Indian friend :) We use to be together in the kingdom of Mitanni. You had Indra there :) We the "Aryans" were together during Mitanni's kingdom, and from that point you and Persians migrated to your lands. Ararat arev 08:02, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
