Email edit

I received your email. This is your "user talk page". If you were asking me to clarify something then I don't understand your question. RJFJR (talk) 04:27, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for creating my User Talk page. I was puzzled in my email because I vaguely remembered I already had one - I understand now that was in the German edition of Wikipedia, though. It is called "Benutzer Diskussion:Strasburger" there. I also have the accompanying German "user page", called "Benutzer:Strasburger" but don't have the English equivalent yet ("User:Strasburger"). Should I create one? I could copy all the stuff from my German version. It might be better, though, to avoid having multiple personalities. Is there a way to cross-link these pages? What would you recommend? --Strasburger (talk) 09:39, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

You can create a user page, it's optional. You could put a link on your user page on the English Wikipedia that links to your German page with link to user page on the German Wikipedia using a piped reference and the interwiki prefix de:. RJFJR (talk) 16:11, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I have done that. However, the link does not show up (same syntax as your's). What happened? --Strasburger (talk) 17:01, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Weird. It must have something to do with a difference between talk pages and non-talk pages. I fixed by using [[:de:Benutzer:Strasburger|my user page on the German Wikipedia]] (i.e. I added the leading colon.) If you are really curious you could ask at village pump technical, they will probably know about this. RJFJR (talk) 18:06, 12 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the fix

Orphaned non-free image File:Traquair 1938 Clinical Perimetry Chpt 1 p 4.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Traquair 1938 Clinical Perimetry Chpt 1 p 4.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 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).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 21:55, 7 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Traquair 1938 Clinical Perimetry Chpt 1 p 4.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Traquair 1938 Clinical Perimetry Chpt 1 p 4.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item 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 creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media 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 the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Steel1943 (talk) 21:56, 7 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

ArbCom elections are now open! edit

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Category:Optical illusions edit

Hello:
I notice you reverted my edit here, with the comment "The discussion is on the talk page for Optical illusions".
That really isn't good enough: The template, which is for notifying renaming requests has a prominent link to "this categories entry at the categories for discussion page". If the request is to mean anything you need to post a rationale for it at the CfD page, not just assume everyone will know what you mean. And currently, as the main article for the category is still at Optical illusion, and categories and their main articles should match, a category move is unlikely to succeed without the other taking place first. So I would suggest you a). post a rationale for this move at CfD and take your chances, or b). delete the template until the article rename issue is resolved. Regards, Moonraker12 (talk) 15:09, 21 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

Fair enough. The renaming of the article should indeed be the first step. I undid my revert. Strasburger (talk) 14:07, 27 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

PS: As the renaming discussion at Talk:Optical Illusion doesn't seem to be going anywhere, perhaps you should consider opening a Move Request at WP:RM; though if you do you will need a rationale that circumvents WP:COMMONNAME, which at present weighs heavily against it. Regards, Moonraker12 (talk) 15:12, 21 September 2016 (UTC)Reply

One (partial) reason why the discussion stopped could be that everybody working on the subject was at the ECVP. Anyway, I will not push the matter for the moment because the article has numerous serious issues that can be (and should be) addressed first. It is not just that citations are missing (as indicated) and there should be a warning to that end for the reader (but I do not know what template would do that). Currently I am compiling a list of what should be done. As to WP:COMMONNAME", the reasoning will be that "Ambiguous[6] or inaccurate names for the article subject, as determined in reliable sources, are often avoided even though they may be more frequently used by reliable sources", pointing to the scientific literature on the subject.
