Honey Prairie Fire edit

Gallery in the lede edit

Hello. Please stop arranging images for a while. I suggest you wait to see what others think. It is very unusual to be arranging images the way that you are doing. I, personally, don't really like it very much, and I suspect others may feel the same way. No offence intended. Maybe gather an opinion or two before changing too many articles.

Disambiguation link notification edit

Hi. In 17 Leporis, you recently added a link to the disambiguation page Orion (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. For more information, see the FAQ or drop a line at the DPL WikiProject.

No meteors in ISS video clip Aurora_Australis_2.ogv edit

Hello Originalwana. On 12 October 2011 you added a video clip (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a2/Aurora_Australis_2.ogv) to the article Meteoroid, and claiming in the caption that: A few shooting stars can be seen in this video from the ISS. After some investigation of this claim, I am certain that what you are calling shooting stars are in fact the passage of other satellites. In addition, there are no such claims of meteor trails made on the original source page from where you appear to have obtained this clip. While it is unquestionably an excellent piece of video footage, I think that unless you are able to substantiate your claim that it contains any unambiguous meteor trails, the clip best be removed from the Meteoroid article. Cheers. Peter b (talk) 05:08, 23 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the response you left on my user talk page about this. Just a suggestion - you uploaded a great still photo which would be ideal in the lead section...

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Binary star revisions edit

I'm not too sure it's a great idea to collect separate images into a "multiple images" template. I used to do that myself, because it clearly makes things look a lot better on a computer monitor, but now I avoid it when I can. The reason is the very large fraction of Wikipedia users who access the site via their smart phones. Multiple images are harder for smart phone users to visualize properly. Test the site on your own phone. Thanks! Stigmatella aurantiaca (talk) 19:15, 7 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Next-Generation Transit Survey edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Next-Generation Transit Survey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.ngtransits.org/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

GPM pictures/vid edit

Greetings! I wanted to let you know I undid your revision to Global Precipitation Measurement- your edit certainly appeared to be in good faith, but adding a gallery caused all the images/graphics on the page to bunch up right under the table of contents...to be honest, the resulting page didn't look very good. It looks like you tried to add a graphic, and put them all in a gallery- IMHO, the text/graphic balance looks okay (not awesome, but okay) as is- does the new graphic substantially add to quality of the article?

I definitely appreciate your efforts to improve the article- Earth observation missions seem to get little love here on Wikipedia. There's probably ways to continue to improve the content and layout of this article- keep trying! Cheers! Skyraider1 (talk) 17:15, 4 October 2015 (UTC)Reply

Ways to improve Batagaika crater edit

Hi, I'm Jamesbushell.au. Originalwana, thanks for creating Batagaika crater!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Fascinating item. You could really make a good wiki article about this. Perhaps even one that could go onto the Do You Know box on the main page.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse. Jamesbushell.au (talk) 23:51, 3 August 2016 (UTC)Reply
