Signature query

Hello, sorry not to have gotten back to you about Marco Polo, but I was never able to find his signature online. I wondered if perhaps you might be able to help me out with extracting this signature [1] for the entry of Daniel Coit Gilman? Many thanks -- again! Best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 04:12, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

No rush. I really appreciate your help. Best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 04:15, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Darn, you are fast! That looks spectacular, actually. MarmadukePercy (talk) 04:40, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Note

Hi there Connormah. I wanted to talk about this revert. While it is correct in this case, as this was a highly debated FA (many lengthy FACs over it), your edit summary concerns me a bit. Featured articles are certainly not perfect, and they should not be. That's why we have FAR ;). Just wanted to make sure you knew that, :) ceranthor 19:31, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

No, I agree with it. I just wanted to let you know that FAs are certainly not perfect. ceranthor 19:36, 26 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you.

Another signature query

Hi, this one might seem kind of dumb, but can you extract a signature from an image this small? I was hoping to get a signature for the elusive General Joseph Martin of Virginia. [2] Many thanks for having a look. MarmadukePercy (talk) 05:49, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Hm, is there any possibility of a better image of the signature? I can certainly do it, but I don't think this image will work, as the detail level is very low. Thanks. Connormah (talk | contribs) 05:20, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, thanks, that's what I was afraid of. I will look for a better image in the Library of Congress archive, although there might not be one. Thanks for letting me know. MarmadukePercy (talk) 05:27, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

No problem, thanks. Connormah (talk | contribs) 05:30, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

This one is a little bit larger [3], and I might be able to grab a bigger version using screenshot from the Library of Congress files. Just thought I'd run it by you. Thanks again. MarmadukePercy (talk) 19:55, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

Another signature request

Hello again. I wondered if you might be able to grab a signature from this letter from photographer and lawyer Col.

Best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 11:16, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

And one more. :-) I wondered if this image is large enough to pull the signature of Nicholas Gilman? [5] Gilman was subsequently a signer of the United States Constitution. Thanks again and have a lovely weekend. All best, MarmadukePercy (talk) 18:08, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

That's really great that you're working to upload SVG version of logos, however it would be appericated if you could add {{SVG-Logo}} to them as well. Don't worry about previous uploads I'll take care of those and other SVG logos later. FinalRapture - † ☪ 23:39, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Hosni Mubarak photo

hello, apparently we seem to have a problem with the previous mentioned topic, i keep updating it with the latest photo and you keep reverting my edit. i have added the sources and copyright info to the image that were missing, also i've started a discussion about it with wikipedian suggestions welcomed, is this a fair enough middle-ground solution? your opinion is valued, awaiting your reply

Ezz zombie (talk) 20:52, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, stating that the permission is non-restricted isn't going to cut it. We either need an email sent to OTRS, or something on the webpage the image was from to state it's non-restricted use.

Cook Arms, Thanks

Thanks for weighing in on this matter! Your comments are greatly appreciated. Its really turned into a tempest in a teacup. I'm not familiar enough with a lot of WP rules to debate these things very well. I simply don't understand what the problem is. The individual who doesn't like the work appears to believe that because it is not a reproduction of the original artist's interpretation of the blazon text, it is somehow invalid (original, a cheap copy, whatever). That is very much against the nature of heraldry. A rendering which fits the text is always valid. If there is anything I can say or do to improve the situation please let me know. Thanks again for helping. A1 Aardvark (talk) 00:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your most recent comment. It is a bit nerve-wracking having your work judged so harshly. I appreciate the encouragement. I note he has put it up on the OR message board. What should I do about that? How will I know the outcome of the deletion request? I am facing a similar one over here and still haven't heard anything about its outcome. (It's been two months!) http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ann_Meekitjuk_Hanson_Arms.svg

Victoria CoA (again) & Another Request

Sorry I have been MIA for a while, I have been really busy lately:

1) The Victoria COA, if you really wanted it, I could make it for you. But my objection to making it, was that when I finish with it, I will have to upload it under a non-free license because in Canada (unlike in the UK), the work of the heraldic authority is not free. This is the case for the Coat of Arms of Canada which is still under copy-write. The COA of the city of Victoria (a wonderful city BTW, I visited in 2007, had tea at the Empress), was granted in 2005. So even a representation of the blazon could still violate the Canadian Heraldic Authority's license, This I am not wiling to do. Even if it was uploaded into the english Wikipedia under a non-free license (like fair use), there is still a chance of it getting deleted. Again that I am not willing to try, one of my worst fears since I started doing artworks was the possibility of one of my works (which I often spend weeks on) getting deleted by some eagle-eyed copywrite-nazi admin, that is why I often stick to historical, rather than more modern subjects. But if you insist, then I will keep it in my list.

2) As for Captain Cook's arms, I would gladly try my hands at it (but like all my assurances now, will take time, so many unfinished requests....). But I am a little apprehensive because I think by doing so I would undermine the original user/artist's arguments which I completely and wholeheartedly agree with (after reading the entire discussion). The Arms are great, and to me heraldically correct. The shield itself is a perfectly acceptable representation, some people use just the crest to identify themselves (in this case the scary flying arm holding the Union Jack), or even just a badge. So the other user's claims (indeed his threat to have the image deleted) is quite unjustified. If his objections were artistic (such as the look on faces similarity to this and that), then he should say so and then show himself as being absolutely ignorant about heraldry and his opinions on the matter- delicately ignored. Despite this I understand why the user would have 'objections', heraldry is a weird and fruitless artistic science that is difficult for outsiders to understand, especially with its rules and traditions. I have had this kind of criticism before, and expect much more in the future. So, unwilling to appease the user with the wrong arguments, I am don't feel very comfortable to just step in and undermine the original user/artist- for principle's sake. Only when the argument dies down and the image is kept and the artist victorious, then will I feel comfortable enough to undermine him with a better and full version of my own (I do enjoy doing that). Sodacan (talk) 13:44, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Connormah, I hadn't seen your request for arms for John A. MacDonald until now. I know sodacan's work is much better than mine, and I would be pleased if he did a more professional version of anything I've hacked away at, but I just wanted to make sure you'd seen the arms I had put on MacDonald's page. Anyway, just checking. Cheers. A1 Aardvark (talk) 04:13, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I've seen the version, it looks great, and I have no problem with it, but I think a fuller version would be better if possible. Keep up the great work, Aardvark, however. It's, I'm sure appreciated by lots. Connormah (talk | contribs) 04:17, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement. A1 Aardvark (talk) 04:21, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Anytime. If I may ask, is there any possibility of seeing any more Canadian Prime Minister Coat of Arms (or have you done them all already?)? Connormah (talk | contribs) 04:23, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

I've done these ones:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Canadian_Prime_Ministers_Arms_by_A1_Aardvark

I found the few blazons that there are at:

http://www.heraldry.ca/main.php

I do not have the ability to create the two I have not already produced.

When sodacan's versions of the arms are done, will mine be deleted off the common as redundant? Or do they stay on there and only come off the wikipedia page? Just curious. I enjoy putting the arms together, but they do take quite a bit of work and I'd hate to be creating them only to have them all completely supplanted a year or two later. All of the arms I've done are categorised (roughly) on my commons userpage. A1 Aardvark (talk) 04:35, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Nope, they'll stay, but they'll probably get replaced on the respective person's page, but I could add a link to yours on the 'Other Versions' field at Commons. Sounds good, thanks again. Connormah (talk | contribs) 20:38, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

My apologies also. Edit summaries leave only so much room to try to state what is going on. Another apology is due because I am a techno ignoramus. I do not know how to clear my cache. If this is something easy to do could you please leave me a message on how to do it. If, on the other hand, it is a bit involved don't worry about using up your time on trying to educate me about something that I am sure is easy for most everyone. At this moment I am still seeing both signatures but if it is cleaned up for you I won't worry about it. It is nice to know that Roald's page has a diligent editor like you protecting it. Cheers and happy editing. MarnetteD | Talk 19:39, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the info that worked slick as a whistle. I had a feeling that it was going to be something easy to do. If you haven't seen The Last Place on Earth I can recommend it. It is the first thing that I ever saw that gave the Norwegians equal time onscreen with the Brits and it helped me to get a sense of who each of them was. I think that The Red Tent is also worth a look. I don't know that it has much to tell a viewer about Amundsen but there is one scene that I really like. Hardy Krüger as Lundborg is having a conversation with Sean Connery's Amundsen;

L-The book was a touch theatrical
A-For whom would I have been performing?
L-For yourself
A-But that is not theatrical, that's necessary. The trick is to choose a good part.

I think that may sum up Connery's career on film better than the reams of interviews and film critic's columns that I have read over the years. If you've already seen these, or if you see them and wind up disliking them, I can only apologize for taking up your time. Thanks again for everything. MarnetteD | Talk 21:30, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Bronislaw Komorowski Image

I had received 2 photos by email from the Candidate Committee (after request), then I sent a long explanation of licensing and needed agreement from copyright holder. I was waiting for an OTRS agreement, but without result. Because it's an important photo, a I called to press office of Candidate Committee for 5 times, where I've received answer that press office knows the case and had passed on higher (to more prior person), but it's still not settled down. After fifth call I've lost my hope, and I'm waiting for lucky agreement or file deletion. I want to mention that I've settled photos from 5 other candidates with agreements.

RFA Comment

Your edits to your original answer to Q10 are a little confusing as they now stand. Perhaps you could make it clear you edited your answer in response to MC10's response. I know you said so down in the discussion area, but someone reading Q10 first (which they would, starting from the top of the page) wouldn't know that until (and unless) they read the discussion section. Normally, of course, a strikeout would convey the idea of a later edit, but I don't think there's anything to strike out here. Perhaps an italicized note somewhere, or even a response to MC10's response saying something like "you're right; clarified above" with a diff would do the trick? Otherwise, it makes the response seem a little off, when in reality it was quite generous toward your candidacy; there was no requirement to put a suitable spin on the wording you inadvertently placed originally.  Frank  |  talk  14:22, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Apologies, I was typing too fast when I answered, I'm thankful MC10 pointed that out, I did mean to answer that way. I'll, however, note it. Connormah (talk | contribs) 15:51, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Late RfA Co-Nomination

You have my full support, the other users in my opinion are being biased, and bluntly, lemmings if they can't elaborate as to why they should oppose your adminship. Nonetheless good luck mate! Fridae'§Doom | Talk to me 07:10, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Your RfA

Hi Connormah. I'm sorry to inform you I've closed your RfA as no consensus. It was a borderline case, so I encourage you to take note of the opposition, continue editing as you have been, and consider standing again in a few months. If you have any questions, please contact me. Best of luck. —Anonymous Dissident^Talk 11:07, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Definitely borderline, I think AD could have closed it either way; my RFA was 94-24-3 and passed, so that's how close you were. Give it 3 or 4 months and then try again, and gee whiz be more careful about those questions next time.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:14, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I can't say I'm not disappointed, but the closure was a fair one as it was in the discretion zone. The concerns of the opposition are generally resolvable, so you should pass if you try again in a few months. CT Cooper · talk 11:31, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

As one of your supporters may I also offer my condolences; needless to say, this was a very close Rfa indeed. Normally I'd suggest a six month wait - but like the closing 'crat, as well as Wehwalt and CT Cooper, I think you should consider trying again sooner than that, perhaps as quickly as mid-fall if you have taken on the issues your opposers have raised and you feel confident you have addessed them. Above all do not be discouraged! You had considerable support, so take comfort in the endorsement of a substantial majority of the !voting community. With best wishes, Jusdafax 13:29, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I think you'll make it easily next time, if you take this two-cent advice: look over what the voters wanted, decide what you do and don't want to do, and talk about it openly ... now would be a good time since people will be wandering by your talk page with encouragement and condolences. For instance, if you're sure you never want to do CSD, say that, and see if people are cool with that ... they might be, or they might say "well, at least we'd like for you to demonstrate that you know how to A10 BLP violations" or something. Best of luck. - Dank (push to talk) 14:21, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Just one of those wanderers with words of encouragement. It was close, very close, and shouldnt be too hard to address the oppositions concerns, Hope to see you run once again soon as mentioned above.Ottawa4ever (talk) 15:09, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Thanks guys. I'll try again in a couple months after having addressed some concerns (BLP, sourcing mostly). I would, though, like to maintain my Wikignome editing style, as I said previously, content building is just not a strength, and I don't feel that comfortable doing so. I will also maintain my disinterest in participating at AfD and CSD, but as Dank stated above, I would be able to delete the obvious attack page if it comes by me. Hopefully it works out next time, I was really hoping to get the extra bit and help out in the areas I listed, but, I guess there's always next time. Connormah^talk 15:28, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

I think you're the latest victim of BLP madness and it was so close that I'm sure half the b'crats would have closed it as successful. In any case, you'll make it next time especially if you take the time to reference the articles which sunk your RfA. I simply hope you won't be bitter about the rejection. Best, Pichpich (talk) 15:34, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Well I expressed my own feeling on the matter in the RfA, perhaps more strongly than was absolutely necessary. Keep up the good work you do, source those BLPs (if some turn out to be unsourceable and you decide you want them gone, let me know and I'll zap them) then start thinking abut #3 in September. If you wanted me to nominate again, I'd be honoured, but either way, I'll do everything I can to help you through. My talk page is always open if you need anything. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:13, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi,commiserations from me too. That has to of been the closest RFA I can remember. I'm sure as long as you continue for another three months you'll be fine next time. ϢereSpielChequers 22:17, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

Ha, you should have seen Kww 3, it went to a crat chat and the crats could not agree so it failed.--Wehwalt (talk) 22:41, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

• I'll agree with the above. Close, correctable, and I feel a group of editors were trying to make a point and you got in the middle of it. Hobit (talk) 01:51, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Condolences, but on the plus side the rationales on the Oppose side look readily correctable. Look forward to your next RfA. Barring any catastrophes I'll be supporting you again. Throwaway85 (talk) 02:57, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Just some random comments from someone who watched the circus (I really thought the format of the RFA itself got a bit nuts) from beginning to end and didn't have the heart to vote oppose (I nearly did at the end) - take from this what you will:

Try not to overcomplicate things; if you not sure of a question TELL THE TRUTH - don't guess! People just want to know if they can trust you to correct your own mistakes i.e. if you accidently screw up will you be mature about it and admit you were wrong rather then repeating the same mistake over and over, or worse - wheel warring. Policies change constantly, especially CSD. For example, in your last RFA when someone asked you the A7 questions you basically tanked it, you basically did the same with the block questions this time - it indicates to people that you won't even take the time to read the policy before using the tool. Remember, there are over 1000 admins, if you ever are unsure of something or used your tools that are borderline on the policies they need to be confident that you will ask for help rather then someone looking finding a year later that you indef blocked a IP for example. Never badger the oppose voters - it takes enough time for some people just to decide to vote; if you really feel the need to comment make sure you are mature and polite and all that, after all they might have went and reviewed your edits and such, and that's thier time they spent. Again, this is sort of what people mean when they say it's "no big deal". RN 05:20, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

• I commented last week on my talk page that I would be willing to nominate in around 4-6 months if your work continued to stay at a high quality. The offer still stands, so feel free to poke me near the end of the year if you want me to take a look. NW (Talk) 15:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Request

Any chance you could clean up File:Statueskeleton.png for me, and also get rid of the text at the bottom? I'm having trouble with it. Many thanks. As you can see, Statue of Liberty is the current project.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:03, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Sure, I'll be on it. Connormah^talk 17:44, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

I did the best I could, here you go! Cheers. Connormah^talk 19:27, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks. Can you crop the text? It does no good, as a screen is not to scale!--Wehwalt (talk) 20:21, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Photos

I doubt you'll find anything of Morrow, since his rise to prominence was awfully close to that "first published before 1923" threshold. Seems like I found one of John L. Helm once, but I don't remember where. I'll save it if I find it again.

By the way, the one you uploaded of Goebel apparently didn't pass muster for someone. It got questioned at my FA nom of Kentucky gubernatorial election, 1899. It's also included in William O'Connell Bradley, which I hope to take to FAC soon, so if you can see if you could address the concerns, I'd appreciate it. Otherwise, I'll have to change the Goebel image in the Bradley article. Acdixon ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 13:41, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I was fortunate to find the Taylor image, and like you, had looked for quite some time. Not sure how that particular book eluded me during all my work on the Goebel article years ago. I don't think either of the two for Morrow would suffice as portraits, but it's possible they could fit into the article somewhere. If the watermark can be removed from the Morehead image, it should replace the current one, as the author and date of creation are listed as unknown.

Long names

Hi, it's been common practice to use the long names for Canadian politicians. As you will see, the overwhelming majority of Canadian politicians have their full names in the infobox. I'm trying to keep things consistent among Canadian politicians, and this is not the case now. Either fix all 1000 politicians, or revert my edits back, for consistency. :P -- Earl Andrew - talk 21:58, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

It's still not consistent among Prime Ministers. For example, Paul Martin, Pierre Trudeau and John Diefenbaker all still have their long names or in the case of Trudeau, a longer name than the article title. -- Earl Andrew - talk 00:37, 24 July 2010 (UTC)

Golden Team

Thank you for your input on the matter, I'm aware the article is now in the public domain. With all due sincerity as far as the article is concerned, outside editors "need" to read 3 books to fully cite the article, which I have tried to eloquently to put to light. I want to fully finish and conclude the article and then I will have no qualms about other editors weaving their sublimating editorial magic over it. But for them to do that, I hold that they read 3 books which I have done. The article is 75% concluded, and I'm awaiting the arrival of a hardcopy 4th book from Amazon.com to shed new light on the topical subject matter -- as I've always extracted my information from valid legitimate sources. Thank you for you attention. -- talk —Preceding undated comment added 08:02, 25 July 2010 (UTC).

Thank you for the response, and I understand your concerns, but please be aware of the tag that the article has on top - it's quite clear that the article has multiple style issues. I see you've mentioned taking care of the inline citations, but please know that the tone that the article is written in may not be appropriate for Wikipedia - it should just state facts, and be written from a neutral point of view. Some editors (including myself) have taken some time to copyedit the article to have it conform with Wikipedia's basic style guidelines, which just requires basic rewording (no new facts/removal of facts). Thank you for your contributions, but, in the future, please don't drive away editors who try to improve the article with saying things like "please stop editing the article immediately", and so on. Thanks. Also, please take the time to sign your posts on talk pages by typing 4 tildes after what you write ~~~~. It really helps in the sense that we know whose comment it is, and the time it was left. Thanks again. Connormah^talk 15:15, 25 July 2010 (UTC)
