WikiProject London
Hi,
We are having an update of participation at WikiProject London and are asking contributors to bold their names if they are still contributing to London-related projects. Inactive members will be removed at the end of the month. Thanks for participating, COME ON ENGLAND! DJR

Long talk page
Greetings! Your talk page is getting a bit long in the tooth - please consider archiving your talk page (or ask me and I'll archive it for you). Cheers! BD2412 T 00:21, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

WP:Lon major tasks
- Hi again - I'm not sure if you have the WikiProject on your watchlist or not - if not then I would recommend adding it. In any case, we have two "Major tasks" currently operational - if you could help in the implementation of either it would be much appreciated. Regards, DJR (talk) 14:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
Dates question
Hello, I noticed you recently made many small edits to the Requiem (Fauré) article, including wikifying all the dates. Thanks. I'm relatively new to wikipedia, so I'm not sure what the standard is, but I remember reading the WIkipedia:Manual of Style section on Wikilinking, which included the following advice: "Not every year listed in an article needs to be wikilinked. Ask yourself: will clicking on the year bring any useful information to the reader?" To me, it seems a bit overkill to link them all, but I'm interested in your take on it. I'm also unfamiliar with the language information you entered. Perhaps you could enlighten me about that or point me to an appropriate page. – MarkBuckles 19:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for not treating me like WoW. I am editing in tabs 90% of the time with Google toolbar. GangstaEB (sliding logs~dive logs) 13:33, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
As a matter of interest, what does Firefox's Google Toolbar give you that the Google / search engine box at the top of the window not give you?
- Spell checker. --GangstaEB (sliding logs~dive logs) 13:37, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
London infobox flag (again)
Please help me out here: Template talk:Infobox London place#Flag_again. A row is brewing over using the City of London flag for this infobox. If memory serves, you supported its inclusion before. Thanks. Mrsteviec 05:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
A new tfd discussion has been started because usage guidelines have been added on the template page and because the {tfd} notice was missing for most of the duration of the last discussion. Please review the recently-created usage guidelines before casting your vote. Although my delete vote remained unchanged, I would appreciate your renewed input in this discussion whether or not you agree. savidan(talk) (e@) 23:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi
Just letting WikiProject Buffyverse members know that the article 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer' has recently been nominated as a candidate to become a featured article. Should it become a featured article, it will be possible for the article to appear on the Wikipedia main page on March 10th 2007, the 10th anniversary of Buffy (the premiere, "Welcome to the Hellmouth" aired March 10th 1997).
Any feedback you can offer to improve the article and/or to either object or support the nomination would be wonderful:

I noticed that you edited someone else's comment for clarity, spelling or grammar. As a rule, refrain from editing others' comments without their permission. Though it may appear helpful to correct typing errors, grammar, etc., please do not go out of your way to bring talk pages to publishing standards, since it is not terribly productive and will tend to irritate the users whose comments you are correcting. For more details, see Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines. Thanks, Extraordinary Machine 22:48, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
The new/alt image for 9tail Fox is great - it's not like there's any real difference, after all. More importantly, you've turned the JCG page into a fantastical cover-filled library of his works. It's brilliant. You've wikilinked all the books, though, and most don't have articles.... shall I get to work? ;)
I've been meaning to write articles for the rest of his stuff for a while now. I'll do Stamping Butterflies and redRobe (as much as I can remember of them) if you rewrite my horrible, horrible edit on Jon's writing style to make it fit for human eyes - deal? Tyrhinis 18:08, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

- Mark redRobe one down, five to go. Once I've finished Labyrinth I'll re-read Stamping Butterflies and get an article for that going. Tyrhinis 23:30, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Dashes ?
I noticed that you changed ndashes to - in Wimund. Is that right ? I read the dashes page as saying that page numbers or years, closed ranges, should be like 10&ndash20. The 1134x1140 things shouldn't really be dashes, it's normal, but lazy, to use that to say "sometime between 1134 and 1140" as 1134x means "after 1134" and x1140 "before 1140". Probably should be written out longform in most cases. Anyway, thanks for reminding me that I never did finish rewriting either Wimund or Harald Maddadsson, so I'd better get to work !

Since you have were involved with discussion before at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Buffy the Vampire Slayer, you might appreciate knowing that the nomination for the Buffy article has been restared at the same wiki page. I am letting everyone know who might not be aware (whether they were for or against the article becoming featured). Cheers – Buffyverse 22:24, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Unspecified source for Image:Black Man cover (Amazon).jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Black Man cover (Amazon).jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Awyong Jeffrey Mordecai Salleh 01:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
The copyright status is not in question at all and is quite clearly stated on the image page itself. See your Talk: page for a reply but please try paying more attention before querying image status in future. — OwenBlacker 17:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Lord's prayer
Hi, OwenBlacker!
I put back a couple of words explaining an example in Norn language. I believe that it is better not to assume that the enwiki readers from all over the world must know to what Lord's prayer refers. This is a minor matter; if you disagree and remove the explanation again, I'll leave the article as you wish. JoergenB 18:43, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Use of octante in Swiss French
Hi there, I have finally replied to your request on my talk page about the supposed use of octante in Swiss French in the talk page of the article, and for the reasons mentioned in my comment, I removed it from the article again – no offense intended!

- I can't date the map; the boundaries of each province are as they were on joining the Kingdom of France. Take a look at the image description page for more information. — OwenBlacker 13:06, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Anglicisation
If you would like to bitch about it, please do... here. It would also be kind if you could contact any others you think would be bothered by an (already widespread) single-handed word-to-word 'translation' of hundreds of articles. Many of these were simple 'word swaps' without an added provision of the extra context needed for an English comprehension of the not-so-common definition of the English word - there is a fair amount of correction to be done, one way or another.
Thanks, best,

Join us in the "Terminator" Article discussion page...please...
If you are still a member of Wikipedia, please join user:TomTheHand and myself in a discussion of which terms should apply to the Cyberdyne Systems Model 101 Infiltration Unit in its various forms.
To be as neutral as possible, I will relate the views of TomTheHand as well as my own, as accurately as posible:
Tom believes that the term "Android" should apply to all of the incarnations of the Model 101, from Endoskeleton all the way up to the gestalts of flesh-and-blood and the combat chassis played by Arnold in the movies. He furthermore believes that the term "cyborg" does not apply to any of the Terminator's forms.
Thanos777 -myself -thinks that the Terminator is worthy of multiple appelations depending on which configuration (read: Type/Series) the Model 101 is configured as.
That is to say, I believe that the "Base" Model 101, just the endoskeleton with no cosmetic enhancements, is best defined as either a Humanoid Robot, Anthropomorphic Robot, or simply a Robot.
When the Model 101 is outfitted as a Type/Series 600, the endoskeleton covered by rubber skin, I believe that the Terminator is then most correctly classified as an "android."
And finally, when the Model 101 is equipped as a Type/Series 800/850, the endoskeleton with the living flesh-and-blood covering, I believe that the most correct term for the creatre is "cyborg."
Again, I respectfully ask you to come back to the "Terminator" Article and lend your input; those of us who are there in the Article's discussion page are engaging in a lot of back-and-forth regarding the different terms and the disagreements as to when they should be used.
Hope to "see" you there soon!!!
Can you help me out?
Hiya. I saw your name on the LGBT translators list and wondered if you might be able to help me. An article I wrote, Philippe Servaty, has been threatened with deletion. I have one week to get strong refs for it, so it doesn't fail WP:BLP. Can you look at it, and if you find it interesting maybe find some French/Belgian stories that can be used to support it? Thanks of you can help. Jeffpw 15:38, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
The Times-Picayune masthead
Just replying to your query about the flags that appear on the front page scan that accompanies The Times-Picayune article. Curious myself, I looked into it and found that the two-flag combo appears to be a Hurricane warning signal (at least in the United States). It doesn't appear to be one of the International maritime signal flags as I first expected. Just thought I'd let you know what I discovered. -Tobogganoggin talk 22:05, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Why the change of "archaic" to "archaeic"? I don't see any reason to have changed the dialect per Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style#National_varieties_of_English, but I didn't review the pages on each letter to see if there was an overwhelming use of British spellings there. *Mishatx*-In\Out 04:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm not worried about it so much that I'll revert it back – I was just wondering if you'd seen something in the articles or knew something about the articles that indicated I needed to stop at the vowel store and pick up some extra a's, e's, o's and u's before editing them. *Mishatx*-In\Out 20:09, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to WikiProject Former countries
Welcome, OwenBlacker, to the Former countries WikiProject! Please direct any questions about the project to its talk page. If you create new articles on a former territory, please tag their talk page with our project template {{WPFC}}. A few features that you might find helpful:
- The project's Navigation box points to most of the pages in the project that might be of use to you.
- Most of the important discussions related to the project take place on the project's main talk page; you may find it useful to watchlist it.
- If you wish to use the template {{Infobox Former Country}}, please read the instructions before you get started
- There are three other projects that this project is heavily involved with. You are welcome to join them as well:
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me or any of the more experienced members of the project, and we'll be very happy to help you. Again, welcome, and thank you for joining this project! 52 Pickup 21:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Former Country guidelines
I just saw the infobox you did for Livonian Brothers of the Sword. Placing the language tags in the title is something I hadn't seen before. I like it. For multiple languages, it makes sense. - 52 Pickup 14:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
- Putting your language abilities on the members page is also a good idea. If you have any other ideas about the running of the project, just jump in. I'm pretty much running WPFC on my own and I can do with any help that I can get. Also, if you're looking for the WPFC userbox, it's at {{User WPFC}} - 52 Pickup 19:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the offer. At the moment, there are two major things that need to be done:
- Checking that the infoboxes are correctly used. Many people who use the Former Country/Subdivision infoboxes are not WPFC members and are not generally up-to-date regarding their usage. Many use incomplete syntax, and very few read the instructions. Just making sure that the infoboxes are used according to our evolving guidelines (italics in the title, short history text, leaders correctly displayed, etc.) goes a long way in making sure that others learn how to do things properly.
- Tagging and assessing articles. Over 1000 articles are now tagged with the {{WPFC}} banner, but most of them are unassessed. Assessing articles takes time, so I can only do so many on my own. See the banner page and the WPFC assessment page for more information.
- If you can help with either of these two things, that would be great. - 52 Pickup 19:07, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Black Man cover (Amazon).jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Black Man cover (Amazon).jpg. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

You can see more about this here. The vote is not expected to be a thriller or anything; the Project only wishes to get rid of a redundant template.
Basically, I am afraid you should visit the Project's talk page more often; there are several issues that need to be dealt with. Right now it seems to be forgotten by almost all members of the Project.
Also, there is a working version of the /Guidelines subpage at User:The Duke of Waltham/SBS and any input, either a good idea or a simple comment, would be greatly appreciated.
Have a nice day.

Infobox at Holy Roman Empire
Hi, Owen. I reverted some of the formatting changes you made to the infobox, namely the <br> and additions to the beginning and ending dates. The changes did not have the effect you intended in all browsers, due to the variety of window sizes in which people view the page. (When I visited the page, for instance, "Confederation of the Rhine" ended up on three lines instead of the two you intended.) I appreciate your additions of the small Latin and German language codes. – Rob C. alias Alarob 22:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
I tried to add an automatic status_text for Reichsstädte, but I can't get it to work. Any chance you could add this functionality for me, please? — OwenBlacker 14:36, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Done. Let me know if you find any bugs. - 52 Pickup 15:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, specifying HRE in the text might be a good idea. I have one suggestion: please do not place the infobox on articles for modern cities (eg. Wangen im Allgäu). Apart from having multiple infoboxes on the one page (always to be avoided) it makes it unclear what the article is actually talking about. It is always best to create separate articles for these former city-states (eg Free City of Lübeck, Free City of Frankfurt) - 52 Pickup 15:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, d'you think? I was adding it to the History section of each Free Imperial City, with relatively brief information (much more brief than I usually add), to provide some historical context, where there's not really enough information to create a stub about the original Reichsstadt. Do you think that's too untidy?
- Certainly, where there's an article about the Reichsstadt itself, I'd put it there (see Bishop of Sion, for example), but where there is no such article, I quite like a smaller version of the infobox appearing in the History section — particularly given that it then adds the appropriate categories without cluttering up the categorisation area at the end of the article.
- Can I not persuade you on this? :o) — OwenBlacker 15:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I'm not the one that needs to be persuaded. I don't really mind either way, but there are many others who see multiple infoboxes as a problem. There is a huge problem with this regarding biographical articles (now that's a real minefield). Also, see WP:ATC. In the case of what you are doing, I have no problem with it - so long as it isn't too obstructive (so no problem if the article has enough content aside from the infoboxes) - but some people miht object and these extra infoboxes may be removed. So be careful. - 52 Pickup 16:02, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I just wanted to say thanks for your comment at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2007 April 30#Various EU Currency pictures! You perfectly expressed my own feelings on this matter, so... thank you! :) – Schneelocke 11:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. This copyright paranoia is driving editors away from Wikipedia and, frankly, is really pissing me off. Though thank me more if I actually get round to sorting out the EU currency images properly, eh? ;o) — OwenBlacker 11:13, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, it is, and that bugs me a lot as well. What also bugs me are people who delete images but then don't even bother to clean up the article namespace afterwards (here is an example I just came across); there really is no excuse for that, in my opinion. It's just sloppiness, and it also exhibits the same "I don't care" attitude that's also visible in the lack of concern for whether aggressively deleting images on flimsy grounds might discourage or outright drive away people who would otherwise have become valuable contributors.
- Ah well, sorry for the mini-rant. :) Mmm, somebody who knows a bit more about SVG or can find his way around Inkscape (I've tried in the past, but without any real success) really should make a "Say YES to fair use" banner, similar to the "Say NO" version that already exists on Commons. c.c – Schneelocke 11:25, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- Absolutely. And no worries about the mini-rant; I couldn't agree more. — OwenBlacker 11:26, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

- Better now? Maybe you should play a little bit with the wave – I’m still not really contently thereby but I must go to work now...
Euro Coins
A quick word of caution though: apparently some people over at Wikimedia Commons have been infected with the same copyright paranoia as here on en:Wikipedia. The {{Money-EU}} template and others like it have been threatened with deletion and some coin images have been deleted. I strongly suspect that the coin images have been deleted due to licensing problems, yet €2 commemorative coin Vatican City 2004.jpg (for example, and how I came back to this subject) is still there.
In my opinion, the links from the ECB (here and here(PDF)) are pretty clear and using the {{Money-EU}} template should satisfy even the most ardent deletionist.
