[edit] License tagging for Image:Suzlonlogo.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Suzlonlogo.gif. 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. 04:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] {{Renewable-energy-stub}} / Cat:Renewable energy stubs

Hey. You created this stub type out of process. New stubs must first be discussed at WP:WSS. I have listed your creation at the Discoveries page and a discussion will now take place there and possibly also at WP:SFD. Thanks. - crz crztalk 17:07, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Severn Barrage

Inwind, why did you remove the Severn Barrage from Category:Renewable energy ? Are you saying that tidal is now a renewable source? Fig 10:10, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bhagavad Gita

Hi Inwind, I can see what you were aiming at but I honestly think that in this case the picture looks better in the introduction with the Hindu Scriptures banner in the scriptures section for those who want to look further. Yours sincerely, Gouranga(UK) 11:34, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grigori Rasputin

Hi. I think you were trying to make a productive edit, but it looks like maybe in this change to Grigori Rasputin you may have ignored an edit conflict and accidentally reintroduced some vandalism. You might want to take a look at it (and at surrounding edits) and try to figure out what went wrong. (I'm fixing it.)

[edit] Re: United Kingdom

Hi Inwind, well I understand your reasons now but it is very wrong. You can rewrite some paragraph in summary style if you want to make article shorter but you can never remove valid reference. A) It doesn't make article shorter - only source code is shorter and it isn't really an issue - references and oher sources should not be counted into article lenght because they are not part of main text and so they don't make the actual reading take longer time. And B) references are needed to reference the text. If you want to verify a statement you are not going to go through the entire Wikipedia to see if it is cited somewhere else. I hope I clarified it a bit. Thank you.--Pethr 17:49, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Replying on other user' talk page is pretty common practice because you're notified about new message and you don't have to be so awfully carefull about watching user talk in your watchlist. But of course I don't mind or anything. Best --Pethr 22:55, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Finite Element Method

Hi. Note that Category:Finite Element Method should be instead Category:Finite element method, in lowercase, per Wikipedia style. You can reply here if you have comments. Cheers, Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 16:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Done Inwind 16:25, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. But you actually need to go and edit each article in Category:Finite Element Method to make it appear in Category:Finite element method. After that I can delete Category:Finite Element Method. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:09, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Seems a rather awkward process. I should hope that a script exists to do this automatically.Inwind 03:15, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Nope, unfortunately. Either you fix it, or somebody else will have to do it. I can write a bot to do this particular renaming, but writing and debugging such a program would take more time than doing it by hand. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:43, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tool

Hi, I was wondering what the point of your first first change in [1] is? It looks to me like having "This article is about a tool used as a piece of equipment. For the American progressive rock band, see Tool (band). For other uses, see Tool (disambiguation)." at the top of the article is a good idea, especially as looking at the disambiguation page, the band is likely to be the main "non-hammer" reason to go to the Tool page.

[edit] "g", not "k" in Danish|Dansk!!!

How come Danish|Dansk has a "g", not a "k" (for example Frankrig (not [[:da:Frankrik|Frankrik]]), Østrig (not [[:da:Østrik|Østrik]]), Bog (not [[:da:Bok|Bok]]), Bruger (not [[:da:Bruker|Bruker]])) and other examples!!! By Fiet Nam (22:50, Wednesday June 11, 2008 (UTC)), leave a message on my talk page!!!

[edit] North Sea

Due to your recent helpful edits to North Sea id appreciate your thoughts, comments, edits on my proposed summary of the currently very long history section available here User:Jieagles/North Sea History. Thanks Jieagles 22:40, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tall Ships

Hi Inwind, Tall Ships is a charitable endeavour, can you please refrain from deleteing all my work in such a malicious way. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.3.88.198 (talk) 17:22, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi 86.3.88.198, I suggest that you create an account with Wikipedia, to enable other users to contact you and explain what should be linked and what not. For the time being I suggest that you check carefully, whether the link you add provides important information related to the article. It is also highly recommended to use talk-pages like Talk:Tall ship before starting an edit war. Inwind 17:34, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of class C airports in the Canada

Should that be "List of class C airports in Canada" or "List of Class C airports in Canada" and do you have a reference? I looked but couldn't find anything. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 23:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HVAC and Mechanical Engineering

You said : Hi Pzavon, a number of engineering disciplines contribute to HVAC. The best place to add these categories is in category:HVAC. Some categories - like mechanical engineering - will become very big, if all related articles are included. Inwind (talk) 17:13, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pzavon"

Isn't that what categories are for? (i.e. What is the intrinsic objection to a category becomming very big?) Pzavon (talk) 03:56, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Werner Schröer

Hi, please have a look at the talk page of Werner Schröer Talk:Werner Schroer. I believe that German sources are a bit more reliable with respect to getting it right when it comes to the spelling of his last name. I therefore believe we should list him as Werner Schröer and not Werner Schroer. What do you think?MisterBee1966 (talk) 09:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Compression ignition

I have turned this page into a redirect to "Diesel engine", where the subject is already covered. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tesla's Birthplace

It is indeed unusual to state the birthplace of an individual with so much detail, but, if you take a look at the talk page, you'll see a very long and very bitter dispute over it. In this extraordinary case, I suggest we keep it as it is, since the long description is not factually incorrect after all, only a bit long, and this compromise has satisfied all sides. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frankman (talk • contribs) 23:31, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FICE

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article FICE, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of FICE.

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Inwind! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.

[edit] Little context in Category:Oil fields in the North Sea

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Oil fields in the North Sea, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Oil fields in the North Sea is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Oil fields in the North Sea, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

[edit] Pauline Rudd

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Pauline Rudd, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.counterbalance.net/bio/prudd-body.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:46, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Pauline Rudd

A tag has been placed on Pauline Rudd requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 18:47, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
