[edit] Citing sources

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I noticed that you added new information to Mariah Carey — we thank you for doing so, but in order to satisfy our verifiability policy policy, we need to know from which sources you got that information. Just adding a link to the article next to your addition would be all right, or you could put it in the article's discussion page. If you need any help, feel free to ask me at my talk page. Thanks!

[edit] Paris reversion

Hey, thanks for your message regarding my WP:VPRF-based reversion of your correct and proper edit. Firstly, thanks for letting me know and secondly apologies for making the error. I missed your edit summary, so all I went on was that it was an anon-IP edit removed a large section of an article. My mistake. Cheers for your patient response, good luck with future edits.

[edit] Cincinnati Population

When changing the population for Cincinnati can you please provide the citations for the links you are getting the data from. We have had some problems lately with the numbers and cites getting out of synch and it makes it easier to verify the changes if you provide your citations when you change it. Thanks pw 04:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

The page you linked has different density numbers than the ones you added. It is for Urban Areas and Urban Centers, which is a much larger area than just the Cincinnati city. But it DOES have sources, which it cites at the bottom, you just need to click them. As long as these numbers are just based on doing math on the page thats fine, in fact I'm curious as to why the template doesn't just calculate it, I wonder if thats possible. pw 12:19, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
I found some more info here: Template:Infobox city#Population infomation. The variable names you were correcting to are actually the old outdated names (the caps ones are deprecated in the table) and they actually have optional fields for metro density and urban density, so it could be split out. I read up on the template syntax, and performing the math in the template itself is an option as long as the proper data is present, I may take a crack at it this weekend. pw 17:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
Your recend edit (12/18) to the section contains bad grammar and incomplete sentences. Take another look and fix it please. Mfields1 (talk) 10:28, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Flag icons in album infoboxes

I've noticed that you've replaced country names in album infoboxes with flag icons. You may have seen this on other articles, but it's not part of the guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums; see also Wikipedia:Don't overuse flags for reasons why replacing the names of countries with the flags isn't a good idea. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 22:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Thatchick mariah.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thatchick mariah.jpg. 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).

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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 10:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject Germany Invitation

Hello, Tpetross! I'd like to call your attention to the WikiProject Germany and the German-speaking Wikipedians' notice board. I hope their links, sub-projects and discussions are interesting and even helpful to you. If not, I hope that new ones will be.
