Doshpuluur Image

Hi. Yes, the image is released under GFDL. I uploaded it to commons:Image:Doshpuluur.png. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with best practices for linking it in the article. --Stacey Doljack Borsody 05:35, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Copy/paste vs. move

Thanks for letting me know about the proper way to move a mislableled article! I went back through my edit history and found three other instances where I think I did the same thing:

07:31, 18 December 2005 (hist) (diff) m The Weinstein Co. (redirect to The Weinstein Company) (top)

19:13, 15 September 2005 (hist) (diff) m CRACK (redir to Project Prevention) (top)

21:37, 23 January 2005 (hist) (diff) Electrolysis (cosmetology) (redirect to Electrology) (top)

Sorry about that! Jokestress 14:50, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

C-uploaded

Hi, thanks for your message on my talkpage. Downloading and uploading takes a lot of time - Using c-uploaded gets it uploaded fast and adding m-protect protects it. I don't see a problem with it. btw, I couldn't find any documentation on how to use these templates on their talkpages. Can you reply if there are some links that talk of the right way of doing it? Thanks, --Gurubrahma 19:45, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Transit strike

I cannot fathom how this story is not worthy for the main page. It would also enhance the status of our article which could be a good source of information. Tfine80 22:14, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey Pharos, just wanted to thank you for using my picture "in the news" on the main page. Aside from shameless self-promotion, I also agree with you guys that the shutdown of the world's largest transit system is clearly newsworthy. --Howrealisreal 23:45, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you very much for adding the pd photo to the Céline Dion article, greatly appreciated. Hopefully, this will quell the only objection in the article's FAC. Thanks again. Oran e (t) (c) (e-mail) 00:59, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

Incorrect redirect

For some reason someone put in a redirect so that Mohammed Nour redirects to Rally for Democracy and Liberty. I'd like to start the Mohammed Nour, but I don't know how to remove the redirect. Is there a tutorial? KI 16:12, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. KI 21:00, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank You, But One Last Question

I appreciate your helpness and I am sorry for my mistakes. My one final question is, if I have some extra data that I got from some where, how do I write down my source?

Once again, thanks! Wikizach 23:56, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Re: Kwanzaa

Sorry! I was following a previous revert you made to the same anon. Feel free to undo my revert or to come up with better wording. Thanks! Owen× ☎ 05:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

I would really appreciate if you did!.

Signitures

How do you make those really interesting (and cool) signitures when you do the ~ things?

possible Sky Ride copyvio

Hi, I saw you changed the DYK pic away from the Sky Ride one and then back again. Do you think that pic has copyvio problems? I know now that not all LOC pics are copyvio free but I thought when I uploaded it that one was. I may well be mistaken though, any advice gratefully received. Warmest regards. PS I like your talk archive names, great touch! 00:37, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:FrancisGuise.jpg

Hello -- shouldnt the pd tag on this image (which is currently on the front page) be one of the more specific ones, such as {{PD-art}}? --Admrboltz (T | C) 08:35, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

I am aware of the recent commons change ;) Im a commoner. --Admrboltz (T | C) 08:46, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Its me again

The joys of midnight realy only being 4 PM... Image:BattleofNewOrleans2.jpg on the front page... I went to the site that the source is from, and it states the credit is due to NARA, so i think a more appropriate image would be {{PD-USGov-NARA}}. --Admrboltz (T | C) 00:08, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Noted, thanks :) --Admrboltz (T | C) 15:47, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

'Burglarize'

Burglarize doesn't exist outside the US, and since the Main Page is not US‐specific, a real word like burgle should be used. Burglarize sounds about as dumb as agentification would to mean becoming an FBI agent! I urge you to reconsider your reversion. Nicholas 13:26, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Mark Felt is certainly a US topic and "burglarize" isn't going to confuse anyone. Let's not talk about "real words" here; all words are real. Anyway, if you look in your dictionary burgle is actually a messy back-formation from burglar. So there. Don't be such a grumpy prescriptivist!--Pharos 13:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

"Mark Felt is certainly a US topic" — I'm not complaining against its use in W. Mark Felt, but on the supposedly dialect‐neutral Main Page.
"all words are real" — but only a small subset of those are present in the English language.
"burgle is actually a messy back-formation from burglar" — didn't know that (nor can I verify the claim as I haven't an etymological dictionary).
"Don't be such a grumpy prescriptivist" — I'm not grumpy at all, I asked nicely for you to reconsider a reversion you made. Perhaps it is you who is the grumpy one? And describing 'burglarize' as not a real word (which is correct in all my experiences) is not being prescriptivist at all, not that there's anything bad about either extreme. My point was that it is not a neutral term. Perhaps if burgle is unacceptable State‐side, a different word can be found? Nicholas 14:16, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry if the joking nature of this comment wasn't obvious. I certainly didn't mean to call you "grumpy" in a negative way- this may be another dialect thing, but in my experience this word almost always has a humorous connotation. As to Main Page content, I don't know if we're going for "neutrality" as much as widest understandability, and I would guess "burglarize" is probably more understandable to "burgle" users than vice versa. If you still think burglarize is unacceptable, we could always go with "break into".--Pharos 14:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Alas it was not obvious! To me at least, grumpy is quite negative, usually applied to senior members of society who lack social consideration, or tact. See Victor Meldrew. And I might postulate that 'burglarize' is a messy forward‐formation ;-) I like your suggestion of break into and have made the change. Thank you for meeting me in the middle. It's marks a pleasant change when common ground can be found. Nicholas 15:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the toilet

The picture you kindly supplied for Self-parody isn't quite what I had in mind… but I'm smiling. —JerryFriedman 03:06, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Einstein

Hi, thanks for the change in the copyright wording. I usually add mprotect only after it makes it to the main page. btw, can you have a look at Special:Contributions/Eacinva - he has made 3 edits to date, all on image talk and about copyrights. --Gurubrahma 06:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

LOC images

Hi. I think you've got a point. But what will be with other PD images that doesn't fit to the PD-US-LOC ? - Darwinek 10:13, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

OK. Maybe "Category:Library of Congress-verified PD images" would be better. I think we should also state somewhere how to maintain with images downloaded from LOC. - Darwinek 16:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

New FSA/OWI template

Thanks for creating the new template. I had given some thought to doing it myself but hadn't yet got around to finding out the procedure. I didn't like the LOC template because the LOC is just the repository. Tagging the images as USDA was a little off the mark, too, because of the OWI connection. FSA/OWI constitutes a unique collection, like HABS. Good work! User:Cuppysfriend 17:01, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

• Suggestion: Let me suggest using this famous FSA photo as the icon for the FSA/OWI template: Image:Lange-MigrantMother02.jpg. User:Cuppysfriend 18:45, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

LOC images

Hello. Would you like to take my help with relocating these LOC images? Btw. creating FSA image copyright tag was a great move. - Darwinek 11:30, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

It's unfortunate that that IP returned to making highspeed vandalism like that; I unblocked it because I was informed that a legitimate user was being prevented from editing, so it's annoying that someone would immediately take advantage of my actions like that. :( Mo0[talk] 14:38, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
