[edit] License tagging for Image:KISSmorph.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:KISSmorph.gif. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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:

[edit] Re: Helpme

{{helpme}}

Please help me get all of my wikiboxes into one nice chart. Also, please help me make the Latin Alphabet box look as nice as the Cyrillic one.

I've just edited your user page, was that how you wanted it? Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 07:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
That's awesome! Could you make the Latin text white?

[edit] tagging of Stefan_Guteklint for clean up

Regarding this edit, the rfc template on Wikipedia isn't a request for cleanup, the Wikipedia process is explained here. I reverted your change to the article.

I've also removed the entry from the Requests for Cleanup page on Wiktionary, as the article doesn't exist on that system. --Versageek 21:49, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:English orthography -- pronunciation of "hour" versus "our"

--------------------------------

Hello Davidleeroth. I noticed your message on the talk page of the English Orthography article. I wrote a response on the talk page of that article. I'll include it here (along with your original message) for your convenience.

Your original message:

I am a native speaker of English, and I pronounce these words VERY differently. In fact, most people I speak with pronounce them differently. I pronounce hour so it rhymes with cower. I pronounce Our like "R" or "are". I think the article was mistaken when it said that hour and our are pronounced the same. I *think* that it meant to say that "our" and "are" are pronounced similarly. I'm sorry for not knowing the IPA alphabet. Davidleeroth 07:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

My response:

To Davidleeroth: I'm American and I see your point. I decided to look a little further into this and this is what I found. Both pronunciations of "our" is acceptable in American English. One pronunciation is the one that rhymes with "are" and the other pronunciation is the one that rhymes with "hour." I've listed these links to Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary for reference: http://m-w.com/dictionary/our and http://m-w.com/dictionary/hour Take care. 61.229.104.25 18:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
