[edit] License tagging for Image:X1 sub.jpeg

Thanks for uploading Image:X1 sub.jpeg. Wikipedia gets hundreds 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. 19:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Original Barnstar

The Original Barnstar
Nice job on Spacesuits in fiction! In one edit, you've turned a decidedly sub-par article into something of much higher quality. Cheers and keep up the good work! — Swpb talk contribs 17:07, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Methane reformer (car)

An editor has nominated Methane reformer (car), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Methane reformer (car) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

[edit] Sentinel Lorries to Argentina

HI! you added the information to the Sentinel article about 100 steam lorries shipped to Argentina. Where did you get this information? it would be interesting to find out if there are any survivors... Dullfig 23:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Here's a reference to the Argentinian Sentinels: http://www.railwaysofthefarsouth.co.uk/9dbuildingtherfi.html Salmanazar 07:35, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thomas William Bowlby

Hello, I noticed that you recently created the article Thomas William Bowlby and have some excellent work on your hands. I have gone ahead and nominated it since it may qualify to appear on Wikipedia's Main Page under the Did you know... section. The Main Page gets about 4,000,000 hits per day and appearing on the Main Page may help bring publicity and assistance to the article. Feel free to self-nominate in the future. Cheers, Chris.B 18:31, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On 12 August 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Thomas William Bowlby, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] HMS Cruiser (1879)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of HMS Cruiser (1879), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: HMS Cruiser. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

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) 23:03, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copy-n-Paste Moves

Please do not make copy-n-paste moves as you did with HMS Cruiser to HMS Cruiser (1879). Copy-n-paste moves shouldn't be done as they disassociate the edit history which causes GFDL compliance issues. You should move pages instead. I have fixed this one. Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 23:09, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice; I honestly had no idea. Having read move all is now clear. Salmanazar (talk) 23:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
No problem. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 23:17, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] HMS Chanticleer (1808)

Updated DYK query On 25 January 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article HMS Chanticleer (1808), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] thanks for your cleanup of Caroline Herschel

Hi, thanks for your thorough cleanup of Caroline Herschel. Did you mean to tag it as a minor edit? --Jtir (talk) 16:33, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Oops! Well, I did at the start, then forgot I'd ticked the box! Salmanazar (talk) 16:54, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] {{Convert}}

Hello Salmanazar, I see you're using {{convert}}. I just thought I'd make you aware that kt is soon to be depreciated as a code for knots. Please use kn instead. This is being done to simplify the template, to avoid potential confusion with kilotonne and to keep the input codes more in line with the output abbreviations (per MoS "knot(s)" is abbreviated as "kn" not "kt"). Jɪmp 03:10, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the heads-up Salmanazar (talk) 13:03, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry About that

I was trying to restore the original version of that article.

No bother! Salmanazar (talk) 17:41, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalism warnings

I noticed that you're not issuing warnings to vandals. Getting these may get them to cease their unproductive behavior but if not, are needed as proof that they are being ignored before admins can issue blocks. You can find them here, but Twinkle also has a function to issue them, I believe. --BrokenSphereMsg me 19:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it seems my browser was suppressing the windows Twinkle pops up to issue warnings. Thanks for the heads-up. Salmanazar (talk) 19:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish

Please add references or suggest alternative hooks; the DYK nomination is expiring due to lack of references for the hook I suggested. Thanks, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 05:23, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Updated DYK query On 15 April 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

[edit] Baldwin Wake Walker

I notice that you have moved Baldwin Wake Walker to Baldwin Wake-Walker. Do you have any evidence that his correct name was Baldwin Wake-Walker?--Toddy1 (talk) 17:10, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Modern British practise is to hyphenate such names to prevent the penultimate surname being mistaken for a middle name; his son and grandson used the hyphenated version [1]. Earlier C19th usage can vary wildly with names being listed with and without. See also here
I think Wake was originally a middle name, not a surname. Walker was his father's surname, and Wake his mother's maiden name. The use of the surnames of relatives as middle names was not uncommon. I fully accept that there is evidence that his children seem to have adopted the surname Wake-Walker.--Toddy1 (talk) 17:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
I agree. I'll move it back to Baldwin Wake Walker. Salmanazar (talk) 13:06, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Analog jan 1975.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Analog jan 1975.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.
