Tiles
Antidrugue: I hope you don't mind, I really like your user page so I borrowed some of your templates. Let me know if there are any issues. Would you know where I can find more templates? Sweetnsourbkr 18:18, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem at all. By template, do you mean Userboxes ? Antidrugue 14:12, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

PNG size reduction?
I noticed you were able to reduce the filesize of this image by nearly 25% -- how did you do that? &mdash;ptk✰fgs
 * I simply optimized the color palette of the image, using The Gimp. Using the 256 most appropriate colors (instead of the default 16 millions), you can save quite a lot of space. Antidrugue 14:16, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 00:24, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Comparison of X Window System desktop environments
I noticed your major edit on the page Comparison_of_X_Window_System_desktop_environments. I had nearly written up the whole article without a spellchecker and I think you've done a fantastic job correcting a lot of errors. Thanks a lot for the same :) Did you use a spellchecker or a bot to do it? I also read your userpage and thought you might be interested in contributing more to the article. A whole article almost written solely by one person isn't a very good article- It tends to be biased :) Please leave your reply on my talk page -- Artagnon 17:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Date format
Hi,

I noticed that your summary to this edit was "Proper date format". In actual fact for wikilinked dates the date format is always given as the one chosen in one's user preferences; most of the world outside of North America uses date-first notation, however, so I generally use this for the benefit of users who aren't logged in. see WP:MOSDATE for details. Chris Cunningham 08:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, thank you for the explanation. I wasn't aware of that "user preferences" thing. I simply changed the date so it would be in accordance with the other OS articles. See you around. Antidrugue 00:08, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Adrian Bunk
Adrian Bunk, an article you created, has been nominated for deletion. We appreciate your contributions.

Thank you. -- mms 00:43, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Fair use disputed for Image:Zenwalk-logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Zenwalk-logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. 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 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.BetacommandBot 05:17, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
