[edit] Artigo de João Garcia

Oi Viva!

É bastante positivo que tenhas acrescido o artigo de João Garcia.
O que não é muito positivo é que seja quase literalmente uma tradução do artigo que fiz em português e que não refiras isso.

Bons futuros artigos,
fernando_vilarinho

p.s. se me responderes solicito que o faças na minha página da wikipedia portuguesa.

Viva!

Estive-me a informar melhor da politica da wikipedia pois sabendo que a licença GNU é uma licensa sobretudo de uso e de possibilidade/indução de introdução de alterações, sei bem que obriga sempre a fazer referência à fonte/autor(es) anterior. Na WP terias de citar a fonte no próprio artigo, mas como sabes a WI é das mais liberais (basta ver que eu nem estou registado e posso estar aqui a escrever o que nas outras não é possível) e como tal 'apenas' obrigam a citar (neste caso a parte do artigo em português) na parte do Edit. Podes conformar aqui : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:New_contributors%27_help_page#References_-_translation

E qt estares a aludir que a lista de montanhas escaladas da WP foi vista no artigo da WI isso não tem qualquer lógica pois eu baseei-me em material meu que tenho sobre João Garcia. Aliás, um texto constrói-se e é diferente de autor para autor, agora uma lista de montanhas escaladas é sempre igual, pois é factual, objectiva, pode é ter mais ou menos montanhas. Daqui a pouco vai aludir que eu me inspirei nas tuas vírgulas ou pontos finais!!

Na verdade tu admitistes que a biografia da WI foi uma tradução da biografia da WP e como tal pelas regras da WI tens de citar no Edit. Se não citares estás a desrespeitar as regras.

Cumprimentos,fernando_vilarinho

[edit] Image:European parliament names.jpg

Nice and useful photo. Is it Brussels or Strasbourg?--Michkalas 14:56, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your answer. I have used the photo next to a list of the official languages of the EU in the Greek Wikipedia el:Γλώσσες της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης. It fits nicely. --Michkalas 10:09, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Infobox

I have reverted the addition a few times of the new info box on U2. This is because it is not an improvement on the old one, in fact the reverse. It has no new functionality (none that is apparent anyway) and honestly, it looks childish. The previous version you just replaced looks much cleaner instead of having silly colour banding. Can you answer 2 questions: (1) on what grounds must it be changed (ie, what does "superceded mean in this case") (2) what advantage does it provide? --Merbabu 13:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] BJJ

After you previous comments I thought you might like to have a look at the new version. --Nate1481 13:54, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

The article looks much better now. Nice job! - Nmnogueira 23:15, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting animations

Hey,

You've uploaded a bunch of sorting animations - but they're all very confusing. Intersting - but confusing. Could you explain what those pictures are doing, because me and a couple of people were quite confused. Thanks. Fresheneesz 10:42, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi. The pictures show the sorting of a list of 100 randomly sorted numbers. The original list is in the form L(1)=1,L(2)=2,L(3)=3...L(N)=N, and is then randomly permuted, so you obtain a list like, for example, L(1)=31,L(2)=23,...L(N)=12, with the same N numbers. In the animations, the x-axis represents the indexes of the list, while y-axis represent the values of the elements of the list. This list is then sorted as shown in the animations, i a way that varies from algorithm to algorithm. They are similar to those uploaded by RolandH (e.g. Image:Sorting quicksort anim.gif), but without all the fancy arrows and the vertical bars (just the top dots). For the list mentioned earlier, the sorted list is represented by all elements placed over a diagonal line, because when the list is sorted, L(1)=1, L(2)=2,... L(N)=N.
I'm not sure I was clear, but if you have any further doubts feel free to ask. - Nmnogueira 12:20, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
I figured that was how it worked - but some of the images such as the one to the right don't seem to act that way. The dots seem to clump together - rather than change x position. Fresheneesz 02:13, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
You're right, the animation is wrong. I've been looking to the code that produced it and I think I know where the problem is, but I have to make some major changes to correct it. In the meanwhile the animation shouldn't be used, of course. Thank you for the remarks! - Nmnogueira 12:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorting algorithms

Love your animations on the majority of the comparison sort pages, and inspired by them (to give me something to do as well) I made a quick program that does the same thing for every kind of comparison sort listed. Shell sort/Comb Sort/Gnome sort and particularly the quite useless esoteric stooge sort would greatly benefit from your animations I feel, if you ever have any more spare time ;). Makes them much easier to visualize. I could try and make my animations look like yours, but I wouldn't do it without your consent first. It might also be worthwhile to try throwing on a comparison and swap count on the animations? Then again, don't know how meaningful it would be... other then revealing that selection sort makes fewer swaps then any other algorithm =/ Themania 06:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with you, it would be great to have more sorts with animations. Unfortunately, I'm not having much free time lately to do the animations. If you wish, I can give you the code to generate the images in Matlab so you can make similar images to other sorts, that would be great! About the swap count, I don't think the results would be meaningful, as most algorithms are studied mathematically for their performance not only on randomly swapped lists, but also in inversely sorted ones, partially sorted lists, etc. and for mean, best and worst-case scenario. Also, the performance of the algorithm varies with the implementation, and my implementations were made quickly just to obtain the animation, being terribly inefficient both computationally and in terms of memory :( - Nmnogueira 22:43, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Could you help me write this article?

Hello,

I was wondering if you would be willing to help me write either Seikichi_Iha or Shorin-ryu_Shido-kan. Tkjazzer 21:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I would love to help but I have no knowledge whatsoever of Karate... - Nmnogueira 23:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Hi5 logo.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Hi5 logo.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

[edit] Yeti Scalp image

Hello Numo,

My name is Simon Plotkin and I'm from a TV production company based in the UK. We're currently producing a TV documentary where we investigate the truth behind the yeti. I was wondering whether we might be able to use your photograph in the programme and, if so, what kind of attribution we'd need to give you. Please feel to email me on simon.plotkin@electricsky.com or calling me on 00 44 1273 224 258.

Many thanks,

[edit] Logo

Hey I like your logo (hee-hee). The contrast is much better in your version than my original, I want to chop out the surrounding white box. Have you tried that? Does it create fuzzy edges or lose clarity? Mekugi (talk) 09:00, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi! I followed your suggestion and the new version with transparent background looks as sharp as the original:
I think the new version should be used, especially with non-white backgrounds. Good idea! - Nmnogueira (talk) 19:04, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removed spacing

Hi Nmnogueira, why did you remove the spacing? at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Drill_bit&oldid=218412288#Well_drilling_bits

Look at the difference you made visually. With the spacing, the pic of the drill bit (with the description) is in between the lines above and below it. In the version without the spacing the pic extends down past the next sections line. It looks a lot more tidy and visually appealing with the spacing than without. Mudgineer (talk) 12:17, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I just edited it. Addind line breaks is not the right way to do that, because it ruins formatting for low size screens. Please see if you like it as it is, and change it if you wish so. Thanks for notincing. - Nmnogueira (talk) 16:04, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
