WMS logo

Hey, just wanted to apologise for the orphaned WMS logo I uploaded, I'm still writing an article on the WMS at the moment, so it's best it goes down, thanks for tagging. I think I chose the wrong licence last time as well so it's all for the best. JebJoya 14:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Please delete it. I took the image, and then changed my mind about uploading it to the intended page. Thanks for your help. Rmj12345 01:32, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Redirecting Viman nagar

Decision to redirect Viman nagar to Pune Airport in wrong. There is lot that can be written about Viman Nagar locality, like it houses multinationals like IBM etc and Pune Airport, it is not about Pune Airport alone. And such information cannot be written in Airport article.

The image is not orphaned

Uh? It is not orphaned. Can't you read? It says it was obtained from the official school site. Which it was, and states in the summary. I will remove your notice and remove the tag from the image. Please do not waste my time again. Retiono Virginian 19:18, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

straight people don't advertise and put up signs that they are straight, why do homosexuals? we don't care - keep your sexual orientation to yourself. We don't need to know.

What?

I was given the deletion policy of the bowing image, why? (Go to my talk page to find out this weird subject that has arised.) It has fine quality and the image was taken by ME. ( Seong0980 10:07, 17 April 2007 (UTC) )

lol, but it has been added to an article, search 'bowing' the photo has been there for awhile now. ( Seong0980 13:23, 17 April 2007 (UTC) )

Okay.. I got it wrong no need to put caps on 'lol'. You need to chill. ( Seong0980 13:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC) )

Credits in Birman

My name is Claudia and I'm Italian, English Version of Wikipedia is different from Italian Version. I don't know how do a credit of my images. Can you explain to me with semplicity? For me is difficult on account of my bad English. Thank You. Claudia

Thank you for your answer, but I'm Claudia, the webmistress of website you saw. What must I do to use my images in wikipedia? Claudia

You reverted my edit on Image:Digg - Technology.png, but the image is being used in the Digg article. It was removed temporarily but I added it back to the main article. Thanks --Dr. WTF 21:20, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Edit comment

I'd say the comment was not nice. Not outright rude as such, but... anyway, here's the translation:

Sorry, honey, but this is out of the place. What's more, your remarks are neither relevant nor gentle. And they're at the most important arguments - bad, bad... Gay.

Cheers, //Halibutt 13:12, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Czesc sloneczko - the quality of tłumaczenia by Halibutt jest denna i śmieszna. Powiem więcej: to tłumaczenie jest do dupy.. Sorry, for the expression ale mi pensas ke vi devas lerni ĝin (as it is very common i może ci się spodoba. Wtręt is not a 'remark'. :D Cieszę się, że vi partoprenis la aferon de la belega zdjęcie.. Dodam na koniec: warto uczyć się języków obcych - English is such a funny language - it is not piękny; it is simple and that's why it is so common. :D You may treat it as atak osobisty. You're welcome! :D Bye! --Aldante 14:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Here you go with the (rough, as always) translation. This time the guy used Polish, English and poorly-written Esperanto, but I think I get the general meaning.

Hi, dear - the quality of Halibutt's translation is pathetic and phony. What's more, this translation sucks. Sorry, for the expression but I believe that you should know that (as it is very common and you might like it). Wtręt is not a 'remark'. :D I'm happy that you take part in the case of the great photo. Finally, one should learn foreign languages. English is such a funny language - it's not beautiful; it is simple and that's why it is so common. You may treat it as a personal attack.

The edit summary goes like this: I beg all Polish speakers pardon for the mistake - ciao bambino.

In all, I'm sorry for the guy and it seems he is a typical troll. A common practice is not to feed them - and I suggest you did just that. Really, it seems that trying to understand someone who doesn't want that is a waste of time - both yours and mine. //Halibutt 16:15, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Copying image to Commons

Hi. I noticed an image Image:Cape.teal.750pix.jpg that you had tagged for being moved to Commons. You can actually make that move yourself if you have a Commons account - it doesn't actually have to be transwikied. See [1] for the tool to use. Optionally, if you use Firefox, you can add importScript('User:Krimpet/CH2.js'); to your monobook.js to get a button that will show up on the image edit page that will automatically tag the Wikipedia image for deletion. --BigDT (416) 16:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Carhenge photos

Hi Gay Cdn. I noticed that you tagged two photographs I've taken for transfer to the WikiCommons (this one and this one). As it happens, both of these files are outdated and newer versions exist (here and here) that are both higher resolution and have EXIF information included (they are also the images referred to over at the Carhenge article itself). Anyway, I don't know how to properly stop the migration of the former images or transfer the latter ones instead. Hence me dropping by your talk page. If you could advise, that'd be great. Cheers! --Plumbago 12:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Re:Image:Sindh1.jpg listed for deletion

Dear Gay Cdn

i have add related image to topic.thanks for notifying me. Ciao Khalidkhoso 07:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

re:Orphaned image

It's about time someone noticed that. I can't think of any uses for it, so make it disappear quickly please. Sincerely, Sir intellegent - smartr tahn eaver!!!! 20:44, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

And it has been a lot longer (say, a couple of months) that it has been in an article. If you delete it and we need it again later (highly unlikely) I can upload it again (let me know if that is ok). In the mean time, the servers could use the free space. Sincerely, Sir intellegent - smartr tahn eaver!!!! 21:52, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Photo-0050 001.jpg

Hey ... you had tagged Image:Photo-0050 001.jpg as redundant to Image:Photo-0050.jpg. Image:Photo-0050.jpg was deleted a while back and believe me, it wasn't a fish. Is there a different image it is a duplicate of? Thanks. --BigDT 02:26, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Well what the heck ... never mind ... I figured it out. The tag said Image:0050.jpg. That's a different image. Never mind. --BigDT 02:27, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the "heads-up" but deleting that particular image would be a good thing. I replaced it with a better image long ago. Bzuk 12:03, 5 May 2007 (UTC).

Images on user pages

Hi there

I have noticed you have nominated a lot of images to WP:IFD from user pages. A debate on whether personal images should be allowed on user pages within WP:USER guidelines that you may be interested to add your opinion on is here: [2]. --tgheretford (talk) 13:29, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I don't know if you're an admin or not, but if you are, please delete this photo. If you're not, please get somebody to close the discussion and delete it. Thanks!--CJ King 23:40, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Saiunkoku_Monogatari_Episode19.jpg)

I got your robonote about the above image. I nominated it and its 20 siblings for SD given the latest reinterpretation of WP fair use policy. I am the main editor of the related articles. I don't see a reason to wait 7 days given the snowball's chance they will ever be used again. All the images I nominated were ones I uploaded. — Meersan 03:37, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi

I hadn't noticed that this image was now orphaned. I checked out the article I posted it in. The section it was a part of has been completelely removed as a result of an edit war and it doesn't look like that section is going to be restored. Without that section there's no reason this image should remain. You may delete it if you choose to. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Stephen Day Stephen Day 18:03, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
