Hi, you've written some good things about Panama here. Thanks for your work. I wanted to know if there is a panama group or something here, if so, I'd like to be part of it. We live in a little country that everyone seems to think is a city in Florida!

Keep up the good work. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Roboo.jack (talkcontribs) 12:50, 16 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Panama Canal

Hi, Thanks for your very useful contributions to the articles relating to the Panama Canal. Did you know that the main article is in peer review? Comments welcome. — Johantheghost 12:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I thought you might be interested to know that I've put Panama Canal up for FA status. Feel free to comment or vote. — Johantheghost 16:30, 2 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Centennial Bridge, Panama

Thanks for adding the real opening date — do you have a source for that, so we could cite it? Cheers. — Johantheghost 12:33, 31 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

"I thank you for your hard work in these pages about my country" — so you're from Panama? I love Panama! I sailed my boat through the canal, and into the San Blas islands, and had a few great months there — I wish I'd had more time to explore the country. I couldn't believe how friendly everyone was, even the port captain, agricultural inspector, and the migracion officers! Great place, and I hope I can get back there one day — I'm freezing in Scotland right now! — Johantheghost 19:08, 31 December 2005 (UTC)Reply

Thumbnail sizes

edit

Hi again, I notice you changed the thumbnail sizes in Bridge of the Americas. Until recently, I did the same thing myself, but it's actually bad style, and I am now removing all thumbnail sizes from the canal articles. Individual users can set their preferred thumbnail size in their preferences — go to "preferences", select "files", and select your preferrred size. The problem is that if you set the size in the article, then it overrides the user's preference, and they don't get the size they want. This should only be done if an image really needs to be displayed in a certain size. So, I'll take out the sizes, and if you want larger thumbnails, please change your preferences. Cheers! — Johantheghost 12:37, 1 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Porto Bello

edit

I noticed you corrected the spelling — how could I have missed that after the fantastic few days I had in Portobelo! Anyhow, I was just wondering — is "Porto Bello" the original, historic spelling? If so, would it be worth saying "... or Porto Bello, as it was known then", or something? Cheers. — Johantheghost 11:54, 4 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

  • I have always known it as Portobelo, I have seen it written as Porto Bello on foreign texts, but here it is always Portobelo. I happen to have a 2 volume book called "los viajes de Colón", its very interesting and i will write you a short translation of what they say about Portobelo so you can quote it or just read it: "On november 2, 1502 Columbus reached Portobelo. He named it like that because, as don Fernando - Columbus brother - says "its very big and so beautiful, with a small population. Its like a painting and its the most beautiful place I have ever seen"". The complete source is: Taviani, Paolo. Los viajes de Colón. Volume 2, page 299. Planeta-De Agostini Editorial. Barcelona, 1989. - Well, i couldn't agree more with Columbus, its really a beautiful port, as you know. I hope it can be developed someday as it deserves. Radioheadhst 03:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)Reply
  • Thanks for that — I think I've been mislead by some of those foreign texts. It is absolutely a beautiful port! I got there in 2004, and just happened to be there for the driving out of the devils, which was fascinating. If you're interested, check out my pictures and log.

Pues es triste que se haya liado eso, yo opino que debemos hacer el artículo en español, pero debemos primero hacerlo a partir de un borrador, pienso que el artículo en inglés minimiza los factores de oposición. Yo, siendote sincero me opongo al proyecto y soy del No, sin embargo, pienso que como deber hay que explicar ambos puntos de vista con el mismo nivel de objetividad. El único inconveniente es que no podré dedicar todo el día con el artículo, ahora tengo en mira destacar cuatro artículo en es.wiki, aunque como te dije puedo ayudarte cuando pueda y asistir en algunas cosas.

AYUDA

edit

Pienso que como muchas personas yo ingrese a participar en Wikipedia muy animadamente, sin embargo me tope con una gran traba, los wikipedistas que se creen dueños del saber y esta web, yo soy un novato en wikipedia y las veces que he entrado me dedico mas a procurar ver como arreglo la web de una artista joven latina, que viene sobresaliendo en el mundo del espectaculo.

Me parecio lindo poder colocar una biografia de ella, pero mi colaboracion primero llevo el irrelevante, no si el arte sea irrelevante o es irrelevante porque es una propuesta de un extraño... bueno en fin , luego de irrelevante paso a copy nose que? pero de alli le quitaron ese calñificativo y paso a votacion para borrado ???? whath??? y mas contrariado cuando dicen que pse puede editar bien para que no sea eliminado, porque no usan el tiempo en corregior los trabajos malos en vez de usarlo para crear foros y otros? porque no le dicen a uno como corregir los trabajos????

Luego veo quienes solicitan el borrado, al parecer gente que les gusta les llamen duquesa, excelencia, divinidad??? queeeee, esta es una pagina que pretende revolucionar la educacion??? hacer que persista el por siempre las cosas que deben de serlo??? no me parece que sea el criterio usado el mejor ç, usted como uno de los lideres por favor ayude para que existan estos cambios en la conducta de los administradores, bibliotecarios y en fin

Bueno sino nuevamente perdi el tiempo aca en este reino de brujas, condes, duquesas y reyes del saber :(

Bueno, tanto como uno de los "líderes" de wikipedia no creo, pero la verdad no puedo opinar sin ver cual fue el artículo que produjo todo tu enojo, he buscado y no encuentro nada sobre Mia Rauz en wikipedia en inglés, es que ya fue borrado?

Panama Canal images

edit

Hi,

Your images at Panama Canal expansion proposal will need to be listed for deletion. Unfortunately the permission you got from the webmaster just says it's OK for Wikipedia to use the images with attribution. This is very different from the acceptable usage, "The copyright holder allows anyone to use it for any purpose, provided that PanCanal.com is indicated as the source."

Basically these images need to be marked with the "permission" tag which unfortunately means they'll be deleted, as such images are not allowed on Wikipedia.

If you could ask the PanCanal.com webmaster to release the images in an unrestricted fashion - that is, *anyone*, not just Wikipedia, is allowed to use the images, as long as attribution is given - then we'd be in the clear.

Thanks - Tempshill 19:21, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

I agree it'd be a shame to delete the images; that's why I'm asking you to get a more clear letter of permission, so they can be kept. The webmaster's statement you cited is vague: "we have no problem that you use the information from our Web site, as long as you indicate it as the source." Are you claiming that by "you", the webmaster meant to say "the entire world"? Or were you representing yourself as a Wikipedia editor in the conversation? I have assumed the latter is more probable. Thanks - Tempshill 19:38, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply
Yes, that'd be another good angle - possibly you or another editor could simply look up the law to see if works of the Panamanian government belong to the public domain, as is true in the US; and also of course someone would have to verify whether those maps and graphs are "works of the Panamanian government". (They might be works of a separate corporation the government set up, or something, and exempt from such a law.) Tempshill 20:26, 23 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Image:Justine pasek.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading Image:Justine pasek.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Thanks for uploading Image:Planexpansion.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.

Fair use rationale for Image:Hn2.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hn2.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will 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.BetacommandBot 04:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

edit

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:49, 27 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
