Edit war on Surrealism
Greetings and welcome, I am sorry you are caught in the middle of an edit war on Surrealism, please don't take it personally. Stirling Newberry 03:15, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Edit reattribution
Hi; just a comment about your request for change of attribution of edits; you must currently open up separate accounts on the different language wikis. If you do that with the same email address in each, and probably same password, then, according to what I have read elsewehere, in a future software update they should all become one account for all wikis. I think it'll be easier for the developer if you first open up accounts on each wiki. Mozzerati 17:04, 2005 Feb 15 (UTC)

Chatsubo poste on Knot (disambiguation)
The page knot should link to ja:&. NOT the ja:&. My guess would be the Japanese preference for ja:& and & remaining separate because of keyboard entry issues. But you are right about & to knot_(disambiguation).:

The page & is more for a catch for the technical concept of knot or someone who used a machine translator. No one would use those characters for necktie for example. It woudn't be so bad realy, except for that third Kanji:

I just started Wiki And I'd have to spend more time to figure out their style on Wiki. I would presume that & would ultimately have be their disambiguous page, to their chagrin, due to Wiki-style on Inter-wiki links. If interlingua is the desired goal without a smart-hyper-text search.:

I've noticed that to be the biggest thorn in my side trying to go between languages and the present Inter-wiki style to Japanese. There are Three japanese character sets to write the same word in English, Four because a term can use all three at the same time, BUT you are allowed basically One link.:

It would be nice to do your suggestion in an ideal world, but that would mean a lot of coffee on their part.:

Personally, I was having it hard enough just doing the knot articles this week for german/japanese to english, there's a million variants and no 3 texas bowlines alike. If your question doesn't get answered by them give me a chat, I'll give a little more umph. I sort of need to use this as my litmus test. Schlüggell | Talk 05:32, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

About the article Compaq portable
I finally updated this. Read the reply on my own user_talk for full details. - Tonsofpcs 03:56, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your work on the BASICs!
Hi there, I just wanted to give you my kudos on the work you have done on the BASIC dialects. I take a particular interest in that stuff myself, and so I find it encouraging that there are several of us putting in an effort to categorize and describe the BASICs and their evolution. Later, we should perhaps establish a separate WikiProject for this work. Until then, keep up the good work! --Wernher 00:13, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Intresting Ayyavazhi Family
Hai Ae, there are intresting articles about Ayyavazhi, a new religion on both mythology and religiosity. Wikipedia is rich with this topic in English, but poor in other languages. Since french is a leading language in Wikipedia it is better to translate the contents on this AYYAVAZHI family to french. - Paul Raj

Double redirects
Hi, thanks for your comments on RussBot's double-redirect fixing. I will suspend this activity until I can resolve your concerns about the redirect templates. However, I'm not sure I understand exactly what needs to be done.
 * I noticed that whenever RussBot comes accross a double-redirect where the first redirect in the chain has a redirect template, the template is not changed appropriately whenever the redirect chain is collapsed. An example would be if the first redirect in the chain was and the next one was  . What should happen in this case is that when the chain is collapsed, the first redirect should be changed from  to  . If it is too much work to try and come up with a list of all possible changes for the redirect-template when collapsing redirect-chains, then RussBot should just erase the redirect-template.

OK, I see how that works with alternate language, but are you sure it is appropriate for all redirect-templates? Maybe it would just be better to review these manually.
 * Also, would it be possible for RussBot to skip redirects with the type ? Otherwise, when the page in question becomes an article, the links that were supposed to link to that article would end up linking to what the article redirected to when it was a redirect.

This one I'm not so sure about. What you have now is something like Foo that reads: and then Bar reads: What I think I should do is fix the misspelling on Foo but leave the template there, so it would read: This doesn't change any existing articles that link to Foo, so if Foo ever gets made into an article of its own the links to it will still be valid. Is that consistent with what you had in mind? --Russ Blau (talk) 15:06, 14 November 2005 (UTC)


 * At last, I have responded on your talk-page. Sorry baout the late response. Ae-a 19:53, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the screenshots
Thanks for taking the time for providing the screen shots for Atari BASIC. Really, if more people took the time that you have, the wiki would be widely illustrated. If you ever have the yen to take more screenshots, let me know, I have LOTS of suggestions for Atari-related articles I'm too lazy to illustrate myself. And happy new year!

Fair use rationale for Image:CompaqPortable.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:CompaqPortable.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Fair use and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Konstable 04:47, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:TippexWithFoamApplicator.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:TippexWithFoamApplicator.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast 21:51, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:ToshibaLibretto1100.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ToshibaLibretto1100.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 23:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
