Regions of Czechia at Commons

Hi! Please note that GFDL requires keeping a list of authors. I am really happy to see images which creation took a lot of my time, at Commons. However, an important mention af the authors and origin of data was not copied! It is absolutely necessary, otherwise they will be deleted. Please, add all needed information to all images you have uploaded as soon as possible. Thank you. Miraceti 09:24, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

OK, I'll see if I can do it with AWB. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 09:31, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Nope, apparently I can't. But I did it manually. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 09:46, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

If you write: "Source: CS.wikipedia.org", it is useless. The original image at cs will be deleted as soon as possible because it is at Commons. This is a common procedure. Link to a nonexisting image means that the image at Commons will be deleted because its licence cannot be checked.

And, GFDL does not say that a copylefted work should be accompanied with a link to the original work. It says that a list of major authors must be distributed with it. If you add only the link, it is a violation of GFDL!

Please, answer only at that place where discussion was initiated. That means here. Thanks. Miraceti 10:17, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Images have got corrected summaries now. Miraceti 11:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Request for Adminship

It is my regretful task to inform you that I have closed your request for adminship early as unlikely to achieve consensus. Please do not be discouraged; a number of users have had their first RfA end without consensus, but have been promoted overwhelmingly in a later request. Please continue to make outstanding contributions to Wikipedia, and consider requesting adminship again in the future. You may find Wikipedia:Guide to requests for adminship helpful in deciding when to consider running again. If I can be of any help to you, please do not hesitate to ask.

you hexagon are a funny man

like i said im not going anywhere....and it may be a massive waste of your time to try banning me as i know of 4 p[roxies that wikipedia still accepts and plus every time i connect i switch ip's anyhow so figure your self in efficient in the war against vandalism

Armking15 15:17, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Foolish little man. We can block IP ranges too, and the only reason you got away with the previous vandalism is because the CVU isn't very active at the moment. But as America hits dawn, it will all be over. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 15:20, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

Reguarding your email image.

The use of google's Gmail logo in it may make it a derivitave image of google's gmail image, which means its copyright goes to google. It then means its not a free image, which THEN means it can't be on your userpage. Could you consider replacing it with an image that uses components which are from free images? Sorry to be a bother.

Caron vote

I don't see what you are trying to accomplish other than annoying everyone, by replying to every single vote against the caron move with the same opinion. Your comments should be in the comments section, not clutter up the oppose votes. -- Jordi·✆ 13:37, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree with Jordi. It seems to me that there is no consensus to move the article from Caron to Háček but if you will look at the article you will see that I have tried to satisfy people by making the typographic use and the linguistic preferences more clear. Evertype 13:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

abbreviations

You wrote (bold emphasis added):

Hmm, didn't know it's abbreviated like that, but I still doubt anyone will type "CR" in an encyclopedia in an attempt to look at the county road article. But then again, we don't use the word county at all here in Australia, so I'm not certain. And while CR may usually stand for couty road in the US, this isn't the US Wikipedia, it is the English Wikipedia and it has to cater to acronyms used by English speakers everywhere. +Hexagon1 ^(t) 09:29, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

I agree wholeheartedly with your last statement, but it directly contradicts your actions. If this represents your actual philosophy with regards to disambiguation pages, why have you attempted (several times) to remove entries CR and/or redirect it to Czech Republic, rather than expanding it to include other possible meanings? — Jul. 20, '06 [14:49] <freak|talk>

I reverted because your edits deprived "English speakers everywhere" of easy access to several topics for which the abbreviation "CR" is commonly used, based on your inappropriate assumption that nobody would find such links useful. For me, when I think of "CR" I think of "county road", "carriage return", and "chromium", in that order, but that would not make it okay for me to remove entries I had no interest in, and I would never consider doing so, as removing entries reduces the usefulness of the page as a whole. If you want to put the countries Czech Republic and Costa Rica up at the top of the list, and change the order of the others, that's fine with me, but please don't remove items you don't like. — Jul. 21, '06 [13:27] <freak|talk>

Cactions bug

Thanks for your bug report. Despite being on holiday in sunny SoCal, I've managed to find time to make the following bugfixes:

• Hash/URL anchor symbol (#) bug replaced. No longer parsed through to history pages, etc.
• Caction links on redirected pages now point to the correct page (not the redirect page)

If you find any more, let me know, although I make no promises of fixing them while soaking up the sun! haz (user talk) 00:25, 23 July 2006
