Thanks for pointing this out! Hope the tag on the image clarifies it, let me know if not, Mark Richards 17:39, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks, its a fabulous place! Mark Richards 18:43, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yes, I use it. There's a link to it on my user page. I don't know why the link doesn't show up on the image page. Fredrik | talk 15:36, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

By the way, your image tagging efforts are impressive. Keep up the good work. Fredrik | talk 15:39, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

cultural and historical background of Jesus

I appreciate your comment on the talk-page of this article. If you look at the article history you will see that I have been working on the article most of the day -- and I have provided a list of sources as well. It seemed clear to me that the version by FT2 (that CheeseDreams refers to) was written to be preliminary, and called out for more substance. Yet, I fear CheeseDreams will automatically revert any work I do, no matter what .... Slrubenstein

Want to check the historical/cultural jesus article and comment how its looking? FT2 06:46, Nov 20, 2004 (UTC)

Image tagging

Thanks for noticing the work on image tagging -- I was just looking for something to do.  :) Can't promise I'll do it every day, or right away, but I'll try to spend a little time on it every now and then. (And thanks for the pointers to the templates...I was customizing my message to the perceived Wiki experience and good intentions of the contributor, but I can see over time templates will be useful.) Haven't seen any feature candidates yet, but I hope to! I did throw a couple of duplicates over to IFD -- hope I did that correctly. Also, at the beginning, I was concentrating more on getting the tags in than on paying attention to whether they were used in an article or not. What should we do with orphaned images, if we can't quickly find a parent article for them? What do I do if I find an empty image description page -- upload history and description, but no picture? I deleted the page of the one that I found, but it occurred to me afterwards that there might be a process to follow for these. Thanks for your help, [[User:CatherineMunro|Catherine\^talk]] 17:07, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I think I got it from another Wikipedian's website, but I have no idea what copyright tag to use in this case. [[User:Mike Storm|Mike∞Storm]] 17:38, 20 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Endorsement

Thanks! :) Ambi 05:09, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Also thanks! And that is a cool seal of approval! I've dubbed it the QuaintQuadellQuality Seal of Approval ;-) -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 05:40, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Ditto above! ;) [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality (hopefully!)]] 16:02, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Thank you, but i don't see your endorsement on the endorsement page [1] There has been some back and forthing over the format, ao you edit might have got lost in the meantime. Pehaps you'd be so kind as to put it back in? Theresa Knott (Tart, knees hot) 09:51, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing out this error. I apologize on behalf of those who introduced this error.

At 00:04, 22 Nov 2004, user Gzornenplatz changed the page to the last version which had all of the endorsements on one page.

Unfortunately, he was not careful enough to merge all of the most recent versions of the subpages at that moment, so a merge process took place for the next several hours. If you made your change after Gzornenplatz change, it was temporarily lost, although another pass was done to recover any such changes after the merge was completed.

However, if you made a change to your endorsements subpage after the last pass to check on the correctness of the merge was made, it was also lost.

If anyone finds any other discrepancies that were introduced during the merge process, and feels put upon to fix it themselves, I will happily fix it for them, quickly and without complaint.

I see that you have already fixed the lost changes on your subpage, and I apologize that you spent your valuable time fixing that mistake.

It may be a lost cause, but I truly believe a central "public square" where interested voters can post their endorsements is worth the effort. If it proves futile because of user issues, (or perhaps even technical issues!) so be it, but I strongly believed in at least trying to make it work.

Thank you. --DV 14:49, 22 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Dante for ArbCom

Hi, thanks for considering me. I've participated in only two mediations thus far. The first was between Sam Spade and Bryan Derksen (old reference page here) and was a success. The second was between VV, KB, and Gzornenplatz (referenced here) and was a failure. The reason I'm currently taking a break from the Mediation Committee is partly because of my displeasure with the Arbitration Committee's mishandling (IMO) of said mediation and how it should be involved in a case which they subsequently accepted (see here for the relevant arbitration page). I appreciate your consideration. Feel free to ask anything else you feel appropriate. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 20:28, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)

Webster, Wisconsin

Hi, not that it's any big deal, but if you're going to change what was a primary topic disambiguation into an equal disambiguation, please update links to the old primary topic. FWIW, my opinion is that in Wisconsin, cities and villages should always have primary topic status over towns with the same name. Towns are a minor civil division, an administrative subdivision of the land in a county, sort of the default local government for areas where there is no incorporated municipality. Towns are by and large not very well known outside of the immediate area, generally serving a population spread over a relatively large geographic area. Villages on the other hand have a distinct localized presence and serve a relatively densely concentrated population. You can find villages on most general-purpose atlases, while towns typically only appear in more specialized maps. Try Mapquest and see which Webster you can get directions to. There is no "locality" for the town to provide directions to--it is a geographic area. So, except for a small number of towns in urbanized areas, I think incorporated municipalities like cities and villages should have primary topic status over any towns that might have the same name (and while there might be many towns with the same name--with only one exception, there is only one city or village that has any particular name). But, like I said, it's not a big deal and I've stopped caring too terribly much about the place articles in Wisconsin since the way the articles were created by Rambot initially lends itself precisely to this sort of confusion. older≠wiser 16:04, Nov 23, 2004 (UTC)

Had to leave a note

Your response to Xed concerning Theresa Knott in which you provided several anagrams was priceless. I'm still laughing. Thanks for bringing a little much-needed levity to Wikipedia's own version of Decision 2004. Best wishes, Jwrosenzweig 22:32, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Tagging images

You're welcome. As for questions - i've found some images from NASA tagged (on upload) with "{{NASA}}", i guess that's fine ? Or should they be retagged with image specific tag "{{PD-USGov-NASA}}" (with the side benefit of being properly categorized by this) ? - JohnyDog 23:37, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Image Copyrights

Oh joy! I keep getting questions and comments regarding the several skyline and skyscraper images I've uploaded, one of them from you. Here's the thing, though: Most of these images are replacements of older ones I had uploaded, but had then found to be copyrighted. I just used basic Google image search to find all replacement images. When I found an image I liked, I would look all over the website it was on to make sure there were no copyrights. Stupid me, though, I made a second mistake and forgot to write down all the sources. So now I have all these uploaded images without sources and nothing but my own personal assurance that they are indeed not copyrighted. I've been trying to avoid this issue for weeks now, but I fear that they might start deleting the pictures if I don't do something quick. What would you suggest, since you seemed so interested in their sources yourself? Any advice would be much appreciated. MattSal 03:51, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

I had the same confusion when I first started thinking about contributing photographs to Wikipedia, so perhaps I can add a few helpful comments in this case now that I've researched this issue. I've posted a reply on MattSal's user talk page. --DV 06:48, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Thank you for the suggestions, but I don't think I'll address the situation today, nor will I finish it soon. I'll probably start by looking for all the images' original sources and dig deeper to see if I can get permission from the copyright holder. If that doesn't work, then I'll just have to delete them or find replacements. Thanks, MattSal 23:48, Nov 24, 2004 (UTC)

Use of the word terrorist

Hi. The "fight" on the Septemer 11 attacks article is back on again. This time, it's over wether the phrase "freedom fighters" (in addition to the word "terrorist") should be removed! I would also say that any results from a straw poll should ensure that US citizens should be excluded from voting as they are most likely to be biased/brainwashed. :) --Rebroad 15:29, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)

S&S Massacre page

No problem; it was Jayjg's suggestion, actually. Thank you for bravely trying to defuse such a long-running edit war; hopefully, this whole thing can be sorted out. Now that I've seen Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/HistoryBuffEr and Jayjg, I'm vaguely aware that there's more to the HistoryBuffer-Jayjg conflict than can be seen here... - Mustafaa 00:36, 26 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Pig-like animal

Hi Quadell. Nice photos! I think that it is a species of "Facóquero" (in Spanish) or Warthog (Phacochoerus) http://images.google.com/images?q=Phacochoerus. And... Can you giveme your opinion about http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/COM:VP#Naming_of_animal_gallery_pages --Pybalo

Jerri Whittington

I've decided to remove Jerri Whittington from the template and save the item for later, as there were older items that needed to be featured, before they became too old and unusable. I do however have the Long-tailed Broadbill in the list because I needed something with a picture. Feel free to change it to something less stubby with a picture if you can find it. [[User:MacGyverMagic|Mgm|^(talk)]] 11:09, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

Farmers market

You are completely right and I apologize: I did not understand what wiki commons was. I hope you won't mind my replacing your picture of the market in Lhasa with mine of the market in Petropavlovsk because I prefer it and mine was there first. But if you feel strongly that your picture is better than mine, I'm more than flexible and open to change. You only need ask. Please feel free. ;) Vincent 11:57, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

PS OK, OK, OK, I apologize again: I'm a bit of a sarcastic SOB, but we really should be friends. We have so much in common. We both posted real pictures of ourselves, for instance. We mirror each other in other ways. You're a Buddhist living in a Christian nation while I'm a (nominal) Christian living in a Buddhist one. Cheers Vincent 12:01, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hornbill

The first image is definitely a male Wrinkled Hornbill. I think the second is the same species, maybe a female or an immature male, but I have no source yetto confirm this. jimfbleak 21:14, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Winnemem Wintu

I would like to know what happened to the page entitled Winnemem Wintu.

It looks like someone listed it as a possible copyright violation, and the page got deleted. I think it probably shouldn't have been deleted, so I restored it. – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 00:35, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)

Don't forget about freedom of speech. I think it's okay particularly on a talk page. But clear vandalism is bad behaviour not speech, that should not be tolerated. Though, it's almost bad behaviour. -- Zondor 17:16, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Tables of images

Hi, sorry for the delay, but I've been out for three weeks and just came back. I've updated the table using the new database dump and all (I think) new tags, but they are too many to show them all, the table would come out about a mile long. :-) Alfio 20:57, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

HistoryBuffEr

Where did he violate the three revert rule? On the articles he's been editing lately (Yasser Arafat, Ariel Sharon, Rachel Corrie), it looks like he's barely managed to stay within the letter of the law while completely ignoring its spirit. —No-One Jones ^(m) 03:03, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Your Uncalled for Blocking

Quadell,

You have blocked HistoryBuffEr (and any IP used by HistoryBuffEr) without any justification. There was no 3RR violation as you claimed.

Abusing your sysop privileges for editing/personal disputes is a violation of rules. Please unblock this user immediately.

HistoryBuffEr 03:26, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC).

RfC Filed

Because you have not reversed your unjustified blocking and have ignored comments posted here, I have filed an RfC.

HistoryBuffEr 06:45, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Images Used

Hi Quadell,

just remove any images that don't have authority as I probably added them before aware of the restrictions if not mine.

While I think on...I have added three images for York (the city). They are my own photos but I don't know how to add the GNU free use whatever to them and they may get deleted. How do you add it or could you perhaps intervene please. There is a box below them stating that they might get deleted if I don't do something about them. Thanks very much in advance.

RFC

I don't think it was too big a deal, but personally I would have kept it there. Incidently, I don't disagree with your block of HistoryBuffEr. With the number of reversions he's done, he needs to cool it down a bit. And he needs to discuss his changes, if they are controversial. check the RFC he filed for my response, tell me if you think I was being fair. - Ta bu shi da yu 23:01, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Uploaded image

No, I don't. As I said in the summary, I was moving it from its place offsite (which at the time was meta.wikipedia.org--used to be, you had to upload to meta and link from there; there was no upload for en.wiki for awhile). Anyway, no, I don't think there was an upload summary on meta either; I added them to en.wiki whenever there were. Koyaanis Qatsi 21:49, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Free dog photos

Re: Blaikiewell Animal Sanctuary ; I can't identify any of the dogs for certain. The large grey jowley one could be a Neapolitan Mastiff--or not (maybe not hulky & jowly enough)--compare here ; the furry black one could be a Portuguese Water Dog--compare here -- or not. I don't know the breeds well enough to say for certain. I wonder whether Blaikiewell would answer queries to that effect? Elf | Talk 01:54, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Merge history

Aloha. I originally posted this on your request for assistance page, but that probably wasn't the right place. Basically, I mistakenly cut and pasted instead of having a sysop delete and move when I manually moved East Maui Volcano to Haleakala. On Talk:Haleakala user Marshman and I would like to merge the two page histories. I believe this would be done by deleting Haleakala, moving East Maui Volcano to Haleakala, then undeleting Haleakala, restoring deleted edits, and then reverting to the version before the move. I need a sysop to determine if this is the correct procedure, and if so, to implement this merge since I don't have admin rights. Can you help merge these page histories? If not, can you forward this request to someone who can? Thanks in advance. --Viriditas 09:37, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Thanks! Nice job, btw. --Viriditas 20:50, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Unpleasant people are everywhere - you can't avoid them. I've realized that the best we can do is not let them get to us. Of course, that makes them act more unpleasant! Working with flowers sounds wonderful. We should create a WikiProject just for people who want to take a break from Wikipedia unpleasantness and edit articles about uplifting, beautiful, and generally relaxing topics. Heh. --Viriditas 06:21, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Small White

I'd actually seen the pics, since this is one of the zillions of pages I watch -it's a nice array - perhaps there should be a link from butterfly to show metamorphosis if that's possible?

free flower images

first page, going by photo names which are mostly pretty obvious but here goes: (as previously stated, some are common names, and there may be several different varities w/same common name):

snowdrops, snowdrops, snowdrops, snowdrops, primrose, primrose, blue spring flower (I think this is a descr, not a name),ditto, ditto,"cot"--hmm, OK, not sure & the large version doesn't seem to exist, "flc" not sure, ditto,primula (primrose), forget-me-not,
daisy, tulip,
"pinkie"?, primrose,ditto,ditto,ditto,
rhododendron, ditto, "vase"?, violet (plant)s, ?,?, gorse, pennywort, celandine, buttercup, viola (plant)s, daisy, wood violet, strawberry,
"scot's pine" is probably Scots Pine (aka Scots Pine, Pinus sylvestris).

OK, now, does this help at all? Elf | Talk 19:58, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

The pine photo actually shows Lodgepole Pine, not Scots Pine, despite the name on the website - MPF 14:25, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Political spectrum

Could I ask you to take a glance at Talk:Political_spectrum#POV? I feel that User:Silverback is simply trying to insert political POV into the article, but I don't see any point to me just reverting him repeatedly. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:51, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

Flower idents

Hi Quadell - same thing; some botanists (including the author of the book I was looking in) treat Persicaria as part of a broader interpretation of Polygonum. Go with Persicaria if that already has its own wiki page - MPF 14:19, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Just had a look, I see Persicaria bistorta is also listed on the Polygonum page as Polygonum bistorta (as a red link) . . . looks like I'll have to do some tidying up there; there's several other species listed there that are often treated in seperate genera now :-) - MPF 14:41, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Your Repeated Unwarranted Blocking

Quadell,

You have blocked HistoryBuffEr (and any IP used by HistoryBuffEr) without any justification again.

I appreciate your close attention to my posts, but this is getting ridiculous. Despite the extensive discussion of your previous unwarranted blocking just days ago, you've made the same mistake again, only one day after the RfC closed.

I did not violate the 3RR, my posts were different.

I do not need to remind you that abusing your sysop privileges for personal disputes is a violation of rules.

Please unblock this user immediately.

HistoryBuffEr 19:31, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

P.S. If you insist on enforcing your own 3RR "standard" that any edit is a revert, there is plenty of work for you. Check edit history of your friends.

Replied on your talk. – Quadell ^{(talk) (help)}[[]] 19:49, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)

A Request for Arbitration has been filed

Quadell, I have just filed a Request for Arbitration against you regarding your repeated unwarranted blocking, see [2].

HistoryBuffEr 21:09, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Not unwarranted. HistoryBuffEr did a sneaky revert, where he added additional information but included the disputed information in that edit. See User:Ta bu shi da yu/Sandbox. - Ta bu shi da yu 01:27, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I'm just letting you know that I've unblocked HistoryBuffer, because as far as I can see, he didn't violate the three revert rule in the first place. There were four edits on Ariel Sharon, but one of them was directly after one of his reverts, and I don't think can reasonably be classed as one. If I've missed anything, though, please feel free to let me know. Ambi 07:24, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Aloha, Ambi. HistoryBuffEr reverted Ariel Sharon four times. One of his more recent tactics is to revert and update in the same edit, in order to avoid people noticing his reverts. This happens to be one of those times. HistoryBuffEr reverted Ferkelparade, and in the same edit, updated the revert. You can see for yourself in the links below. It's one thing to update the page, and it's another to revert the page and update it in the same post. The former is clearly not a revert, whereas the latter is always a revert, no matter how much he tries to hide it. --Viriditas 08:03, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

I totally agree with this assesment. HistoryBuffEr needs to be blocked, and straight away. - Ta bu shi da yu 08:11, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Speedy deletions

I was just adding a function to my automation script for transwikiing pages to other wikis. At first the URLs to the speedy-deletion notices were ill-formed.

Re: Image:Galicia.jpg

You asked me if I knew the copyright status of Image:Galicia.jpg which I got from the Romanian wiki. The original, ro:Imagine:Galitia.jpg does not seem to have any information concerning its origin. However, a Google Image search for "Galicia map" turns up this website which seems to contain the larger map that it came from. [[User:Livajo|力伟|☺]] 16:22, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)

By hand. I don't know how to create a bot (wish I did, though). [[User:Neutrality|Neutrality/^talk]] 02:25, Dec 8, 2004 (UTC)

Image deletion debate and privacy

Thanks for letting me know about Image:Nevada-Tan.jpg. Because we have had two related privacy issues come up in a short time, I am thinking it might be good to have a page about handling privacy issues or maybe publishing ethics in general. Maurreen 06:06, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

A lot of issues and pages are overlapping in my mind. I started a related but broader discussion at Wikipedia needs special standards. Maurreen 08:00, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

talk page history merges

Just realized that you were the one that handled merging all the Template_talk: pages I had marked. Thanks, that really helped cleanup some leftover issues from when the Template namespace was first created. -- Netoholic @ 18:02, 2004 Dec 8 (UTC)
