I have been working on the page "merino". Something or someone called error has updated the Etymology and added >references< to the reference list, this now generates a cite error 5. I don't know what to do to fix it.

It was missing a backslash - the code should be <references />. It's now fixed. Cheers, Tangotango 07:47, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image Prj geom

The text in your image "Prj geom" should read "The lines have intersected"; there is a typo! Dam; thanks for letting me know Charles Esson 11:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Nice work on the image. Hgilbert 18:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC) Thanks Charles Esson 11:08, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guard llama

Guard llamas are used quite a bit in the US. It's unfortunate that they're not used more in Austrailia and the UK. However, merino is raised in Texas and guard llamas are used there as well. Thanks for your comment. Rboesen 17:14, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

We actually promote llamas as a peaceable alternative to minor predator issues. If you have the lone coyote or dog, a guard llama does a good job of scaring them away. However, it is all show. Llamas are not aggressive by nature. They are inexpensive to keep as they basically can eat and stay on the same vet schedule as sheep. Let's face it, if you have wolves or other pack animals menacing your sheep, the best thing to do is to permamently remove the problem.Rboesen 14:42, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
The question is; should you be promoting them using a link in the merino article.
It is not promotion since it is a fact that they are used with merino flocks throughout the US. Rboesen 13:52, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] == Mulesing is now WP:ACOTF ==

[edit] Link on Microsoft Office Open XML talk page

If you would have read the page you could have seem you readded a link that is already in two earlier comment on the same day you added them. Feel free to discuss the link there where the discussion has started and don't add the same discussion over and over just to spammor thwe same link. Adding the same link over and over seems pure linkspam.hAl 20:36, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Office Open XML

Hi, I've only just downloaded VP and I'm still trying to get to grips with it. Sorry for any inconvenience caused == Kneale 09:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Please make all the changes that you made originally. Leave a message on my talk page so I know you've got this Kneale 10:06, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merino

I can certainly add that information. It may take me a while to dig it out. But, I think I can find it. --BlindEagletalk~contribs 12:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:General floating point frac.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:General floating point frac.PNG. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 23:09, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Australian Cashmere Goat

{helpme}

I have altered the copyright notice of the page in question, I now need an administrator to remove the tag.

This refers to Australian Cashmere Goat and http://acga.org.au/goatnotes/A002.php (just a note to for myself). I have removed the copyvio notice, thanks for the GFDL licence on your website :-) --Commander Keane 06:52, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unspecified source for Image:BID_general_format.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:BID_general_format.PNG. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. 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 tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 01:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Nv8200p talk 01:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

  • The image happpens to be wrong and I have to put effort into fixing it up (which I will do, because when I start something I finish it). As for the stuff above, no, there are limits, I am not going back because of changed policy. If you have people that want to delete the work of others, then my view is go for it, I am not putting effort into stopping it.

[edit] SVG tagging

Hello,

I have gone and tagged all your PNGs which were of a diagramattic nature with {{svg}}. This categorises them such that future editors can redraw them in svg. The idea of SVG is to allow for reproduction of diagrams at any size level without loss of quality. If you are making future diagrams you can make very nice images easily using vector programs such as Inkscape (free/open source) or Adobe Illustrator (proprietary). Me? I use inkscape and find its nice and easy to make purty pictures. If you don't feel like figuring out SVG, keep 'em PNGs coming. Thanks User A1 15:15, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
