Hello and Welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. I see you created a featured picture nomination at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Trumpet 1, but it is not currently listed at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates. To list the nomination, add {{Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Trumpet 1}} to the top of the "Current nominations" list at WP:FPC. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! --KFP (talk | contribs) 23:23, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] answer to question

Hi Tomer, do you want to add my pics to the hebrew wikipedia? It's alright with me, just add a credit line - " Photo by beivushtang http://www.pbase.com/beivushtang "

[edit] Re: Fields of gold

The reason that photo wasn't promoted is that pictures need more than a simple majority of supporters to be promoted. They need a consensus, and while there is no single 'magic number' of supporters that allows you to make a decision, I tend to look for at least a two-thirds majority. This image only had a few more supporters than opposers, so I was unable to say that there was consensus to promote it. I hope that answers your question. Raven4x4x 22:38, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it does. Thank you for the informative and quick answer. Tomer T 23:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Images for medicine portal

Thank you for your nominations, I included both. :) NCurse work 07:51, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for including them :) If I'll see more suitable pictures I will nominate them. Tomer T 13:15, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Crabs at a market

Hi, I closed the nomination as it had been listed at WP:FPC for eight days and there was no consensus to promote it (vote count was 6.5 supports versus 5.5 opposes). Ideally, nominations should be closed after seven days but this is not always possible. If you disagree with the decision, you can ask for a second opinion at WT:FPC or renominate it later. Also, as compression artifacts were among the opposers' complaints, you could ask if Wpopp has an uncompressed version of the image. --KFP (talk | contribs) 14:54, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Row of Icicle

I have uploaded a untilted version of Image:Row of Icicle.jpg as Image:Row of Icicles 2.jpg if you want to nominate it. --Digon3 15:37, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, I have nominated it. Tomer T 16:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
You might want to nominate it as a new nomination, otherwise it will be gone in 2 days and no one will see it. --Digon3 16:58, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
OK, so I will nominate it after the current nomination will come to an end. Tomer T 17:11, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jordan FAC

The Michael Jordan FAC has been re-listed (which was probably a good idea). Thought you'd like to know, here's a quick link. Quadzilla99 14:57, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you Tomer T 17:14, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nominating Featured Article candidates

Tomer, before you nominate articles at FAC, you should probably inform the main editors and leave a note about what you're planning to do an the article's talk page. I'm the main author of Johannes Kepler, and I was kinda blind-sided by the nomination, which I didn't even notice for several days. The article was not complete, and had I not been on spring break with a lot of free time to work on it, the nomination would not have ended well. That said, thanks for doing that... it lit a fire under my ass, and it all worked out. Wikilove--ragesoss 17:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Western Chalukyas

Thank you for the support. I am proposing a name enhancement from "Western Chalukyas" to "Western Chalukya Empire" to give a better picture about the article. I am the user who nominated this article for FAC.Please comment.Dineshkannambadi 13:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

I don't oppose the name changing. Tomer T 15:36, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toronto Raptors FAC

Hi, I noticed you nominated the Raptors article as a FAC. While that is hugely appreciated, as I have contributed substantially to the article, I honestly feel it is not ready for a FAC --- yet! This is mostly because it is quite long at the moment, with the section on the 2006-07 season being disproportionately long. My intention was to create a separate article for the 2006-07 season once the current NBA season is over. I believe the 2006-07 season merits an independent article because it is and is going to be the most eventual Raptors season ever and there will be plenty of pictures for that too.

Therefore, I suspect many editors will quibble with the current structure of the article. What do you think? Thanks, Chensiyuan 14:39, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello Chensiyuan, thanks for commenting and updating me about that. I think you can ask for starting the vote later, after you will finish. And I also wanted to tell you that I put your article as a chosen one here. I also wanted to ask you: Why did you put Devil May Cry 2 in the GAs list on your user page? It is already a FA. Goodbye, Tomer T 16:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, Tomer T. I've noticed that you frequently nominate articles for FAC that you haven't been involved with. I was hoping, as a courtesy to the involved editors, that you could begin leaving talk page requests for feedback first, to give the editors an opportunity to indicate whether they think the article is ready for FAC ? It would help streamline the process, lessen the chances of failed facs, and make it less likely that editors will be blind-sided, perhaps at a time when they are too busy to see a nom through FAC. Regards, SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:52, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
By the way, Tomer, I also am hoping you've taken note of the instructions at WP:FAC, specifically "Nominators are expected to make an effort to address objections ... Please do not post more than one nomination at a time, as this may make it difficult to do justice to each." I noticed that you currently have three nominations at FAC (Compass and straightedge constructions, Alfred Russel Wallace and Toronto Raptors), but haven't participated in the discussion about any of these candidates. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 21:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
I left notes in some talk pages asking if the article is in FA status in the readers and writer's opinion, but I got no answers. So I decided to stop. Tomer T 10:03, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
I know you nominated the article, but you didn't state whether you supported the nomination. Manderiko 03:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
I thought I don't need to, because it's too obvious. Alright, I'll put my vote. Tomer T 09:17, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Whaling in the Faroe Islands FAC

Dear Tomer T, (I can see you've had this discussion before). While I think it is a great idea to link articles and awards I do not feel this is the most productive way to go about it. Seriously, please nominate for Good Article Candidacy or Peer Review before attempting FAC. The fact that it wasn't clear whether anyone was actively editing the article and you've only edited it once since the FAC began indicates that it had no chance of passing as you hadn't ensured there would be anyone to address objections.

Can you please nominate only after being actively involved in an article? cheers, Cas Liber | talk | contribs 09:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tim Duncan FAC

Hi, a bunch of us at Wikiproject NBA have been working on the Tim Duncan article and have nominated it for FAC. I remember you made some useful suggestions during the Toronto Raptors FAC. Feel free to leave comments at the FAC here. Thanks! Chensiyuan 13:42, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 2007/Week 42: Isaac Titsingh

Re: Isaac Titsingh in the Hebrew WIkipedia ≠ he:Isaac Titsingh ...?

Tomer T -- I stumbled across your name as I was looking into the background decision-making which preceded the choice of Isaac Titsingh as a plausible subject for the Metawiki's meta:Translation of the week.

When I tried to edit that recently translated English→Hebrew/Dutch→Hebrew "Isaac Titsingh" in Hebrew, I had some problems adding Afrikaans to the list of inter-Wiki links to corollary articles in languages other than Hebrew. Please, would you just check to see if everything appears to be as it should be? Thanks. --Ooperhoofd 18:43, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's fine. The list of inter-Wiki links was edited since then, and it's now according to our policy in Hebrew Wikipedia. Please notice that in Hebrew Wikipedia we put the link to en in the top of the list, and other wikis come after that, alphabetically. --Tomer T 22:32, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
