Sorry for wiping out your edits in the vandalism revert....--Stephan Schulz 10:27, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

No problem. It happens due to how we need to make reverts (submit old versions). :-) -- Jugalator 12:29, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] External links - The Caffeine Database

I thought external links were not supposed to point to blogs. Isn't that true? The Caffeine database while definitely a cool site is a blog. ehinkes 14:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Hm... I haven't found any discussion about that besides this, which didn't shed more light on blog links to me. :-) I'm not sure what's wrong with blog links myself, assuming they are as informative as a regular news article. What may be a more definite reason to not have that link to the Caffeine Databse though is that I just noticed that the facts is poorly referenced, if at all. :-/ That's clearly a listed item under the links to normally avoid section (i.e. "original research"). So yes, maybe remove that one and try to find better sources of information on these things. -- Jugalator 15:03, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey - I just came across this image - it is identified as having come from the fish and wildlife dept of the us - and I thought - man there has to be a story behind that. Do you know the story - and why they would public domain this kind of pic? Trödel 17:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hightraffic template

Actually, the hightraffic template is only for talk pages, so I've removed it from the article. It's already on the article talk page. Picaroon 22:23, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Official Guild Wars wiki license

Just a comment on your post at Talk:Guild Wars 2#Concept Art Copyright? ...
If you read the text of the copyright article on the official wiki, it shows that they use multiple licensing on their content. It shows that most user contributed content is GFDL, but it explicitly states that most game images and renders are NOT released under GFDL. --161.88.255.139 18:27, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, that's correct. I forgot the part about game renders etc. However, the textual content has to be under GFDL. Any content released under other licenses will be explicitly marked as such to avoid confusion. -- Northgrove 23:43, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Straw poll

You expressed opinions on the reordering of Cho Seung-hui's name. Please vote in the straw poll on renaming him in Wikipedia here. --Dynaflow 06:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Embargo

That comment on Gliese 581 was a desperate attempt to stop editors from violating ESO's embargo on their announcement. Not every editor even looks at the talk page. For the last seven hours or so, editors have been inserting news about Gliese 581c at an every increasing pace, while I've been deleting them, as per the email that user:Daniel.Bryant received from OTRS. (See my talk page for a copy of his message.) But, I now hereby resign from this Sisyphian task. People are adding stuff faster than I can hit the delete button. Vegasprof 22:55, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I understand your eager to maintain news embargos, however both sides need to follow the editing rules. -- Northgrove 22:59, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Interlingua page

Hi Northgrove,

I hope you are having a good day. While I appreciate your contributing to the Interlingua article, I'm a little confused as to the content of your contribution. I see that you've added language tags to most entries in the external links section. Most of these links already make the language clear through their labels, such as "The Finnish Interlingua organization" or "The full text of the Interlingua-English Dictionary". In other cases, a section head specifies the language. Still other times, an incorrect tag has been added. For example, a document in Interlingua has been tagged as Dutch. If you feel that these tags are needed, perhaps you could clarify. Cal 00:01, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

I just did it to standardize on the link naming. Some used an "in Interlingua" add-on, others didn't, and sometimes it wasn't clear out of the link name which language it was about. For example, the Swedish association was in Swedish, but some other article was in pure Interlingua. When there might be reason for confusion, it's also common elsewhere on Wikipedia to tag articles like this, like when there's mixed language content. Of course, if something got mistagged it should be repaired. I'm no regular contributor to the Interlingua article, so I'll leave it up to you guys what you turn of it or if you revert the change. Now you know why I did it anyway. :-) — Northgrove 00:10, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
I can see the value of that approach. The tags make it easy to see what the languages are. There are also Interlingua articles on English sites, and so on, so putting the languages in parentheses helps. Thanks for contributing :-) -- Cal 01:38, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (Image:X3-prerelease-screen.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:X3-prerelease-screen.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 21:48, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Lisamiskovsky.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Lisamiskovsky.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. bainer (talk) 16:26, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Windowsflp.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Windowsflp.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 03:07, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Alright, I have now attempted to address this case by providing a fair-use rationale. — Northgrove 14:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Question on mashups please:

Hi Northgrove,

I noticed you edited the mashup Wiki not too long ago, and that there was some dialogue about RSS feeds and screen scraping. I feel that there is a space here to elaborate on the enabling technologies that will facilitate future mashup functionality (as originally mentioned in the closing para of [1])

I've tried to summarise the term mashup enabler here draft Mashup Enabler page and I wandered if you'd be kind enough to have a look at it and help me improve it before golive.

Many thanks in advance. Cadwellian (talk) 18:15, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
