56th (West Essex) Regiment of Foot
Hi, I just reviewed this article you have been working on for GA and I'm afraid I had to fail it as it simply isn't cited well enough. I have left a full review on the talk page, but I wanted to say that I do like what you have done with the article so far and all the best for continuing the good work.--Jackyd101 23:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Image licenses
Sorry about the bad licensing job I did on the images I uploaded, I have read a lot about copyright and now have a much better Idea of the right way to licenses Images, I do not have as much time for Wikipedia now that school is out for me, but This week I will try and go back and fix the Images. Do not want to get Wikipedia in trouble. Thanks Max ╦╩ 00:53, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Waterfowl
For some reason I can't edit your Ducks question on the Reference Desk (whatever I do, it keeps taking me to random other parts of the page), so I've come here instead - hope you don't mind.

I had a look at your other photos and I'm even more sure now that this is a young moorhen. For a little while, I was half-wondering if it might be a young spotted crake, but that would be markedly smaller than a moorhen and would probably be showing more distinctly barred plumage. If it had been, you'd be pretty lucky as they're rare in Britain.

I can't explain the size differences with certainty, but I'd be inclined to think that it's because the downy plumage is much thicker and fluffier than the adult feathers. A lot of birds have juveniles which appear larger than the adults for this reason - they're bulkier because of their feathers even though they're not fully grown. Moorhens are roughly pigeon-sized, which looks about right from these photos. Thanks for coming back with more pictures; the more views, the more chance of an accurate ID. I hope I've been a bit of help - if you like, drop me a line on my talk page next time you leave a question like this on the refdesk; I don't check it all that often and it's easy to miss things. All the best, --YFB ¿  00:22, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

I've replied on my talkpage. Sorry for the delay in replying; in the middle of my finals. Don't worry about sending me messages, though - it's nice to have something non-work-related to think about. Cheers, --YFB ¿  20:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Good Article (GA) review
Just wanted to make sure that you knew that Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 was placed on hold under GA review. The comments are on the talk page. After five days I'll come back and re-review the article. CLA 11:22, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Dunedin (ship)
FYI Posted following on article talk page: -

"Am responsible for the SS - I do not claim to be an expert on shipping, although I suspect things are not quite as straight forward as may at first be thought. I copied SS with reservations but uncertain of boundaries of the use from primary reference: A lasting Legacy — A 125 year history of New Zealand Farming since the first Frozen Meat Shipment, Ed. Colin Williscroft PMP, NZ Rural Press Limited, Auckland, 2007. This had more material about the ship than other sources, and authors had first hand experience of the (modern) shipping industry. I note a breif google search for SS Dunedin turns up a number of pages which name the ship as SS Dunedin. (http://www.meatnz.co.nz/main.cfm?id=105&lid=8, http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/BU0705/S00479.htm, http://www.foodweek.com.au/main-features-page.aspx?articleType=ArticleView&articleId=179, for example) However 'SS' was not used in the two other references I sued to cross check facts, which were written by historians rather than sailors. I note the vessel had a steam engine on board - for the compressor - but to the best of my knowledge this could never be used to propel her. Winstonwolfe 00:47, 3 June 2007 (UTC)"

Will leave sorting it in more capable hands than mine :-) Winstonwolfe 00:54, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of "4th AKKA WKC 2006" page
Hello,

I noticed that you have deleted my article titled "4th AKKA WKC 2006". Appreciate if you could let me know the reason. I still not able to figure out what policy it could have violated. AKKA is a 501(c)3 organization and the article about it is a tribute to hundreds of volunteers who worked tirelessly to conduct one of the greatest conferences in US. I sincerely hope that the article will be put back in its original form.

Thanks Sanjay Rao (sanjaysr)

Could you clarify whether your comment was KEEP at Articles for deletion/Plot of Les Misérables
Hi Shingray,

I thought you made a sound point in your comment at the deletion discussion. If you want that comment considered as a "!vote" it would help to put Keep (or possibly something else) at the beginning of it because the closing administrator, especially faced with such a huge deletion discussion, is likely to miss it. Although !votes aren't decided on a majority basis, it still helps to clarify. Please consider making your comment clearer for the harried administrator faced with the daunting task of reading through that discussion. Thanks! Noroton 05:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Lindsay Ashford
Just thought you might want to know, as you seemed appalled by the state of his bio, that the entry is probably partially autobiographical. Some comments in the first AfD for this entry seem to support this. He appears to be regarded by many as a spokesperson for the current Pro-pedophile activism movement, and to be known to and/or admired by some other current or former Wikipedia editors. Deletion of the unsourced information is still the right thing to do, and it is good that it was reported and fixed. -Jmh123 06:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Your opinion welcome at deletion review for Plot of Les Mis
After Articles for deletion/Plot of Les Misérables closed as a deletion, I'm challenging the way the closing administrator acted as in violation of Wikipedia rules. Your participation is welcome at that discussion, Deletion review/Log/2007 July 14. Please keep in mind that only arguments related to either new information or to how Wikipedia rules were violated or not violated in closing the discussion will be considered. It isn't a replay of the original AfD. I'm familiar with WP:CANVASSING and I am alerting everyone who participated in that discussion to the deletion review. I won't contact anyone again on this topic, and I apologize if you consider this note distracting. Noroton 04:46, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Image placeholders
You're the uploader of Image:Replace this image male.svg and its female counterpart. Is there any chance you could create a third, generic one for objects, buildings, animals and so on? 81.157.31.61 01:29, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * If you give me a SVG (or even just a PNG) file, sure, I can get the mechanical process working. However, I don't have the capacity to create the images; all those were uploaded by me from work by others, so I'd need that step done by someone else. Shimgray | talk | 01:33, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Ah, okay. Who created the current ones? 81.157.31.61 01:35, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Editor at Large did female, I think, but who originally did male is lost in the mists of time (possibly Geni?). image1, the neuter, was Vystrix Nexoth. There's also Image:Replace this imageb.svg - buildings - which was Geni. Shimgray | talk | 01:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I've gone to Geni. Also, these placeholders really should be categorised. I would do it myself but can't create the category. (Category:Free image placeholders?) 81.157.31.61 01:52, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
 * [[Image:No free image (camera).svg|thumb|100px]]
 * already exists filesize a bit bigger than I would like mind. The reason I haven't already put something like this in place is that I'd rather stick with specific ones and get wikiprojects to manage them. Oh and the male head is taken from commons:Image:Pioneer_plaque.svg.Geni 02:06, 5 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, we can always take it down or replace it with more specific ones in future. I'll knock together a new fromuser page for it in the next couple of days, thanks. Shimgray | talk | 00:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, up and running at Image:Replace this image.svg


 * Please do not use the existing upload page.Geni 06:31, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Eh? I don't follow. I'm using the same mechanism as the other fromowner images are - is there some kind of actual problem with this? Shimgray | talk | 14:13, 9 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes it results in the images haveing the wrong template on them. You will also find that the building image does not go to the same place as the people images. I've started fixing it but you need to move User:Geni/fogen to MediaWiki:Uploadtext/fogen and User:Geni/fogenl to MediaWiki:Licenses/fogen. Once you have done that I can fix remaining issues and you can undo your changes to MediaWiki:Uploadtext/fromowner.Geni 18:35, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Okey got that fixed just need to wait for the chnages to propergate.Geni 21:06, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
