[edit] Ubuntu icon
I reverted back to the PNG version. The SVG version scales improperly in 50x50 px (the heads look REALLY big). Plus, the colors are the same as the ones in the copyrighted Ubuntu logo; my PNG version purposefully avoids this (though, I admit, at the expense of aesthetics; that red is awful). Also, your logo's heads are on the outside like Canonical's. I'm not saying you must move the heads inside like I did but still do some more things to avoid copyright infringement. I think consistent SVG Ubuntu/Xubuntu/Goobuntu/etc. logos would be good, but make sure the copyright police don't get mad. My PNG version got accused of being a copyright violation. I think my rebuttal is on the image's talk page. It could come in handy when making copy-safe SVG Ubuntu icons.
Also, if you decide to convert my images to SVG without modification, they must be placed in the public domain as per Bridgeman_Art_Library_v._Corel_Corp. ;)

- That's fine. I placed my copyright rationale on the userbox talk page, in accordance with your doing so. I recognize that the colors are largely the same, but I believe that I threw in one or two others. I'll work on modifying them from Canonical's some more. --Linus(contact me) 03:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Supersymmetry
Hi Linus: I did give the SuSy article a pretty thorough going-over back in February, but since I am not an expert in the field, I don't consider that to be "attention from an expert". From what I can see, the article is in reasonably good shape right now. -- Xerxes 14:28, 26 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Top quark
That information is correct; the top quark does not hadronize. This fact was first noted in the paper Production and decay properties of ultra-heavy quarks by Bigi, et al. in 1986. They say:
- If the lifetimes [of ultra-heavy quarks] become much shorter than the typical strong interaction time scale ΛQCD−1 ~ 10−23 s, then open-flavor hadrons and quarkonium bound states cannot be formed any more.
-- Xerxes 22:10, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Higgs boson consensus vote
There is currently a vote on the Higgs boson talk page over whether or not to merge the pop culture references article with the main article. I noticed you've previously contributed to the debate, so your vote would be helpful in establishing a consensus (or, perhaps, a vote of "no consensus", in which case the problem will be referred to AfD). Thanks! -DMurphy 21:35, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Narnia
Hello, I noticed that you edited an article related to, or expressed interest in The Chronicles of Narnia.

[edit] WikiProject Narnia (again)

[edit] (Cars) Tires, not antennae
I'm relatively certain that the cars in Cars generally use their tires as hands, not their antennae. I'm going to change this, but feel free to make a case that I am wrong (if you have one!). Hey, my warranty didn't run out after all! 16:54, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
- Actually, they used BOTH. -- Jason Palpatine 21:05, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Ziocon
Hi Linus, I noticed your comment on the talk page of the Ziocon article. I have nominated it for speedy deletion, because a.) that is not a widely used term and b.) the article is merely an attack page on those who support Israel.--Carabinieri 02:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
Greetings, everyone,
If you looked at my userpage recently, you may have seen some obscene content. This was vandalism, and I just caught it. Thanks! MacGuy(contact me) 02:39, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging articles
I am just wondering which articles I should tag
and where in the article I should put the tag. Thank You. Sodaplayer talk contributions 04:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject: Free Software
Hello, I noticed that you've tagged several articles with the {{WPFS}} template. The template should go on the article's Talk page, not on the main article page. Thanks! -- dcclark (talk) 18:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Free Software IRC Channel?
I think we should have an IRC chan. It should be on Freenode because Wikipedia uses freenode for IRC chans. I'll register it. It's called #wpfs . Click Here to go to it! Wikinerd2000 13:37, February 17, 2007 (UTC)

Give me your nick on freenode and i'll give you Auto OP privliages. I got auto voice on my chan because the chans moderated, so if any "uncouth" users do anything... just devoice em for awhile, then temp ban then ban.
[edit] Wikiproject Free Software
Thanks for the notification! I went ahead and joined, and look forward to helping! P3net 05:48, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re:#wpfs
No problemo! You've been added to the chan with access level 49!
[edit] Distinction between Free-Software and Open-Source
Hi Linus -- I'm a little bit particular about the distinctions between the terms "free software" and "open source." I actually come down on the "open source" side of things. Perhaps if you guys are willing to expand your scope and name of the project to "The Free/Open Source Software Project," I'd be more than happy to join. Thanks for the invitation, though.

[edit] ccPublisher
There is no article on ccPublisher. "ccPublisher" currently redirects to Creative Commons, and that article has no information about ccPublisher. Gronky 21:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. BTW, I'm glad to see WP:WPFS doing well. It's a necessary project but I never had the time to try starting it myself. I still don't have time to join, as I'm trying to get Portal:Free software to featured status right now, but I'm trying to help WPFS by mentioning it on the portal and on some talk pages relevent to free software. It still hasn't gained enough momentum whereby it would be self sustaining if the current contributors took a break, but hopefully it will get there. (I'm not sure that Portal:Free_software has gotten to that point yet either.) Good luck. Gronky 21:54, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Conservapedia refugees
Hey, if you ever feel the need to commiserate with other refugees from conservapedia we have set up a little space on the internet so we can share in our common frustration. Most of the more intelligent and rational editors have come on by, if no one has passed the link on to you I would love it if you would come by and offer your perspective. There are several active editors that don't really want to be "outed" yet so I avoid posting the link to pubicly accessible spots because a few of the SYSOPS have shown a propensity for trolling user pages on wikipedia looking for dirt. E-mail me at touloutm@mcmaster.ca and I will pass the link on directly. Tmtoulouse 17:19, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- I have exactly the same thing to say. Commiserations on being overcome by the sheer wave of bigotry that is that site. It's lonely there now. Wikinterpreter

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Safari RSS 2.0.4.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Safari RSS 2.0.4.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ilse@ 13:30, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
