Kana and Romanaization

Dear Chris-san, could you please read User_talk:WhisperToMe#an alternative romanization? It is about Kana spelling reform. I hope it will throw some light on the recurrent questions of Romanization systems of the Japanese Language.--Kmns tsw (talk) 11:29, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Afd on Alonso R. del Portillo

Not sure if you remember me from Cuba Boy Scout article helpRogelio Pina Estrada, but could you look over this article and give your imput. Thanks Callelinea (talk) 23:39, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Translation request

Image:--1999sudangg save for top text.jpg Unfortunately not. The text on the bottom is سودان (Sudan) but for the text on the top, you might see someone else. Sorry :-( --ANONYMOUSPUSSY 06:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Even if it was a dialect, I could tell you what is written, as they all use the same script - but it is written mediocrly (if this word even exists) --ANONYMOUSPUSSY 06:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
By finding good sources for articles, and finding people who might be interested? --ANONYMOUSPUSSY 06:18, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to comment on article naming you

I have decided to write, in my own good time, an article about certain "recent experiences" related to Wikipedia, the nature of which are, or should be, well known to you. This article shall name you, under your moniker, "Kintetsubuffalo."

In the interest of fairness, I shall provide you with a copy of this article, prior to publication, for the purpose of feedback, provided: that you disclose, to me, your true name (I remind you that my true name is known to you). You might wish to do this through a "non-public" channel; if so, then e-mail me and I will send you my mailing address. You might also wish to request that I keep your true name confidential; if so, then I shall honor that request.

I shall consider the fact of your "non-response" to this invitation as subject for "fair comment" in the article. Ldemery (talk) 18:50, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Main page nomination for Manzanar

With the 39th Annual Manzanar Pilgrimage coming up on April 26, I have nominated Manzanar to be on Wikipedia's main page on that date. Please add your support for that at Today's featured article requests -- Gmatsuda (talk)

The nomination was removed intially because there can only be five nominations on that page, but it's back, so if you are so incllined, please offer your support. Thanks! -- Gmatsuda (talk) 21:07, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Arabic Request

Hey - I can't quite make out some of the letters so I'm afraid I can't type it out in Arabic for you. Sorry! Aelfthrytha (talk) 22:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Xinjiang protests

That'd be great. I have a ton of homework due, so I have to limit my wiki-time. Start off with looking at the sources I used for the Mutallip Hajim. Also take a look at the NY times article:

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/03/world/asia/03china.html?scp=1&sq=hotan&st=nyt

There seems to be 3 issues involved: Mutallip Hajim's death, a ban on head scarfs, and perhaps sympathy with the Tibet protests, but it appears the primary motives are local. David Straub (talk) 12:40, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Good job. Thanks for doing it. David Straub (talk) 01:12, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Burma Girl Guides Badge

Hello Chris. It says asinthint, the same scout motto: "Ever Ready" or "Always Prepared". Wagaung (talk) 15:10, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Erm, sorry to write here - I do not know any other way to contact you. It is, if I am not wrong, "A-sin-thint" - which means Ready or prepared. I hope it helps. Uthantofburma (talk) 13:57, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I agree. It's not asin athint as I'd said about the scout motto before, so I stand corrected. This appears to be the motto since it's on the badge. Sorry, I can't render it into Burmese script here either. Ask Hintha - hope he's okay and available to help. Wagaung (talk) 16:10, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I just found out Evil Monkey had also uploaded the script in graphic svg files for many an article. Wagaung (talk) 16:30, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Just to add myself to this conversation. It has been a while since I made those little SVG images. Been a hard drive format since then but I should be able to work out how to do it again. Basically they are just created in Inkscape using the Padauk font. The only difficulty I have sometimes is working out what the correct character is. What would you like recreated as a SVG? Evil Monkey - Hello 20:49, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Took me a while to make out the text. It means "ready or prepared" as Wagaung and Uthantofburma said. Hybernator (talk) 04:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Cris, here is the JPG file link for Asinthint in Burmese: [1]. Sorry I do not know how to make or convert to SVG though.--Kyaw 2003 (talk) 03:25, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry Cris, this is in Googlepage so hope there is no pop up or spams. [2]. --Kyaw 2003 (talk) 14:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
Brilliant Chris, well done! Wagaung (talk) 19:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Wow - its great! Sorry - I'm awfully busy so I cannot help much. Cheers n thanks very much for the effort! Uthantofburma (talk) 05:04, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

The finished badge looks great.Hybernator (talk) 23:21, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

It's good Cris. Thank you indeed, you've been one great driving force in WikiprojectMyanmar. --Kyaw 2003 (talk) 22:56, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Harajuku

This is a light warning to your vandalism to this article. The article is filled with POV and unreliable references which will be reported. 220.253.28.41 (talk) 05:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

If you really believe this about the article, IP, explain yourself persuasively on its talk page and get agreement before making your deletions. And be sure not to make baseless allegations of "vandalism". -- Hoary (talk) 05:59, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

SICH

Hello I found this article, maybe it is interesting for you. http://www.day.kiev.ua/185445/ It contains interesting information on a camp called “Lysonia”. Take a look.-Phips (talk) 21:01, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Kintetsubuffalo, you added a {{PD-old-50}} licensing template to the above image. How do you know when the author died as no information on the author was submitted? Polly (Parrot) 22:05, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Pertaining to 'April2008'

I don't think that wikipedia is an apprpoiate forum for people of ANY ethnicity to spew out hatred of my country.The Japanese American internment was racist and wrong but maybe you should study up on the barbarities of Imperial Japan to get a comparison.Try Rape of Nanking .Please do not threaten me anymore about banning or blocking.Perhaps a more appropriate forum for the statement that 'America should be ashamed' would be www.democraticunderground.comSaltforkgunman (talk) 04:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Pope Gelasius I

First off, I am not trying to underhandedly remove the status of a pope that has been identified previously as Kabyle. That is why I am asking for input and good documentation for his background. I have looked, and not found anything outside of blogs that have substantiated that he was ethnically Kabyle. Any help is appreciated! Thanks, Stealthound (talk) 04:45, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Rhodesian Bush War to Second Chimurenga name change?

There's currently some discussion going on the talk page Talk:Rhodesian Bush War. One user has proposed changing the name of the article Rhodesian Bush War to second Chimurenga. There appears to be some support and some opposition. Sf46 (talk) 11:34, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Kyrgyzstan

Did you live there? I'm going this summer and I've got insane amounts of questions / would like any general advice. Hit me back on my talk page if you're free to help. Aelfthrytha (talk) 19:00, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

US State Dept / CDC have some hysterical pronouncements about malaria and everyone going to Kyrg needing to take anti-malarials. Sounds wacky to me. What do you think? Aelfthrytha (talk) 05:30, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

WilliePhua.jpg

Hi kintetsbuffalo, I must thank you for "saving" Williephua image, by updating it with the right license format. I must admit i have alot to learn on this aspect, if i want to continue my passions putting up the right images for my articles. To end, i wonder how does one know, what is the right license to use with each image - other than my own photographs that is? Once again, I thank you for your help! -- Marcuslim (talk) 01:53, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome. I am not sure there is a system to know the right license. What I do is find a similar image on a related topic, then I custom fit the text for the image in question. Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 01:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Marcuslim"

Finding a similar image on a related topic?I'm not sure what that means. Can you elaborate a bit more, if it's convenient for you? -- Marcuslim (talk) 02:03, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Onna bugeisha

I would appreciate your opinion over a matter I have raised at Talk:Onna bugeisha. Needless to say I have concerns over whether there should even be an article on this. John Smith's (talk) 11:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Cliff House

Living up here in Denver, I have never heard of it. But I'll take your word for it, and restore it to the article. Any idea about a Hot Springs Pool mentioned in the intro as being the largest outdoor hot sprongs pool? It sounds to me like the one at Glenwood Springs. Plazak (talk) 21:48, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Army Fortresses in Japan proper

Thank you for your interest in List of Army Fortresses in Japan. Please review Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Army Fortresses in Japan proper I have made an attempt to find references for the article and could find nothing to support the assertions made. Consensus is leading to keep and improve, but I am not seeing where improve is an option. If I am mistaken and there are references available please add them to the article.

West Indies Flag

I just downloaded the new verion of InkScape and it's screwin with my cpu when I try to save things. I'll see if I can get someone to upload it for me. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 19:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, InkScape still isn't working, but I got the file there. Hope that works. §hep • ¡Talk to me! 17:34, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Scouting logos

Finally started! I just uploaded Image:Wosm-guinea.jpg. Unfortunately there is no Logo of The Scout Association of Malawi on the new WOSM poster which was on sale during the WSJ; Score seems to have only the old version on stock, but I'm not sure about this. In the next time I'll organizations'check the entries if more uploads are necessary. --jergen (talk) 16:12, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Further remarks:

The new poster is certainly not authorative: It contains a number of errors and was outdated even during the WSJ. --jergen (talk) 17:21, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Automatic tracing

I use Inkscape, if you know the basics of using it I could tell you how to trace bitmaps, there is also a manual there by the way, cheers -- Cradel 21:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Illustrated London News

I have access to the archives of most issues of the ILN, tell me if you need anything from them and I can probably get a high-res scan. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 07:28, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

You were asking about one on the Graphics Lab. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 23:19, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
