WP:COPYREQ - best page to point people to re OTRS on images and especially Requesting copyright permission.

Advice: no shouting.

== Pointless ==  Please read this. ~

My rationale for using MiszaBot.

Useful: special:myPage &middot; &#123;{spa|username}} (apparently must be substed) to denounce SPAs at AfD, etc.

NTSAMR - the &ldquo;nothing to tell about myself really&rdquo; persistent spammer.

Student projects: the right way - Namibia and a not so good way - Hangzhou. In the latter, check the contribs history of Year 1 Class 1 to see what I mean.

If you see a vandal at work, slap test on to the culprit's Talk page as the first action. Simply realising that they are being watched may be enough to put them off.

Use a leading colon to create a link to a Category table instead of placing the article in that category. Thus: Category:Images of the Geograph British Isles project.

Likewise, use a leading colon to link to an image description page instead of putting the image into the article. Thus: File:Haworth houses.JPG. Similarly for other language links: nl:Wikings.

See How to edit a page for links to Special: pages.

Text can be small or   big.

&lt;span style="white-space: nowrap"> is useful to avoid breaking up something like 2013 Oct 24.

Template xt creates pretty green text like this.

Offline reports is a page I had difficulty finding - it is not in Special:Specialpages nor in Special:Statistics.

My Commons contribs. Now licensing own images with commons:user:RHaworth/mylic. &#123;{self|cc-by-sa-3.0|GFDL|migration=redundant}} was recommended for own images but always to the Commons!

0.00001&deg; of latitude ≈ 1 metre anywhere. 0.00001&deg; of longitude ≈ 1 metre on the equator and ≈ 0.68 metre in UK. 0.000015&deg; of longitude ≈ 1 metre in UK. So four decimal places of lat or long is ample for Wikipedia purposes.

For people still using Babylonian mathematics: 1" of latitude ≈ 31 metres anywhere. 1" of longitude ≈ 31 metres on the equator and ≈ 20 metres in UK. So using whole numbers of arcseconds is ample for Wikipedia purposes.

Hull
Compiler of the Hull list had never seen the official list. Check of split CG's:


 * Official name - Hull names


 * Knebworth - Stevenage & Ware
 * Iver - Slough, Staines & Uxbridge
 * Markyate - Luton & Hemel Hempstead
 * Colney Heath - Hatfield & St Albans
 * Stourbridge - Dudley and Kidderminster

Also Hull has:


 * 1761 Mendip s/b Temple Cloud
 * 1491 Cholsey not Nettlebed or Henley-on-Thames

Loveden is very interesting

Conversion scripts
Conversion? The maths, although tedious, is only algebra and trigonometry. Work your way through this lot:
 * Introduction - includes link to a spreadsheet
 * convert.c - both way conversions. This converted very easily into oscoor_a.htm (see next link) so would probably convert to other scripts equally easily
 * that template:OS coord calls - converts Grid Refs to lat/long. Includes links to more C code at York and the Ordnance Survey guide to conversion
 * Egil's code for what template:coord calls - transversemercator.php is the one of interest. Ie. converts lat/long to Grid Refs
 * Ordnance Survey spreadsheet - I have never got into this to understand it
 * Geotools - an open source Java GIS toolkit - only 5 Mbytes of source code for you to study - if you speak Java
 * My Furl may contain other stuff

Since you like to position your dots precisely, you need to be aware that "coord" and "OS coord" are both likely to give 140 metre discrepancies between their coordinates and those used in other places, eg. multimap - see note in this paragraph.

lad
It is sung by The Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph Porter, KCB (First Lord of the Admiralty) with the female chorus of the First Lord's sisters, cousins and aunts echoing the last lines of each verse. (It is almost as though Gilbert anticipated that the operetta would become very popular with amateur companies - such a chorus can provide parts for all females in the company who have not been given a named part and can accommodate all ages!) In the first production George Grossmith played Sir Joseph.

The song viciously satirises William Henry Smith.

zopa
What does the Zopa symbol mean?

This shows you whether your offer is in or out of the Zopa – the zone of possible agreement. If your offer is higher than the rate accepted by the last 5 borrowers in that market, then you are out of the Zopa. If your offer is lower than the highest rate accepted by the last 5 borrowers, you are in the Zopa. Being in the Zopa will mean your money gets lent out as fast as possible.

Woolly thinking
You shot yourself in the foot by creating Thomas wooltorton and I assumed that Geogre's Law applied. Also, a specific rejection at Articles for creation/2006-08-21 did not help.

Now why not try again. Create Thomas Wooltorton which already has one incoming link. Flesh the article out a bit more with simple things like his date of birth!, a couple of external links and a category. You will probably find that it sticks without any problem. -- RHaworth 18:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Established
The criterion for being an "established" Wikipedian appears to be: at least 150 mainspace edits. See this for example.

Available mentors
To find an available mentor, click the arrows at the top of the first column (Number of mentees) to order the mentors by how many mentees they already have. That will make it easier to find mentors with available slots.

Browser comparison
How does browser handle a link to a PDF?

But note that some websites may frustrate this. For example, this page    sends an HTTP header of "Content-Disposition: attachment;filename=John Barlow.pdf" which forces Opera to try and save it. Firefox offers the choice of open with Adobe Reader or save it.
