Does not exist symbol

 * (Touched up maths notation. Still lacking a symbol for "there does not exist".)

The standard way is $$\not\exists$$, I would suppose. \nexists would be the nicer-looking LaTeX, but Wikipedia can't handle that. $$\not\!\exists$$ (with a negative thin space) looks better. In any case, I'm happy to see someone else with a mathematical bent looking at the voting articles -- they need some help. CRGreathouse 19:59, 20 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Wow, quick answer! Thanks for the info on how to write the symbol. I gave up when neither  nor   worked. Mabye I should add this to my list of things that need to be fixed in MediaWiki (if I ever get in touch with the maintainers or get involved myself). —Bromskloss 21:01, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Fair use images in user space
Hello. I noticed the User:Bromskloss/Famous images page you created. Please keep in mind that all fair use images (which includes many of the images on that page) must comply with the fair use criteria. #9 of the criteria indicates that they are not supposed to be used outside of articles. I would suggest linking to the fair use images instead of displaying them. Thanks. Khatru2 06:29, 25 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Doh! Good point, I'm afraid. :-( It's a shame those cool images are tied down like that by not being free. I should probably get rid of the page altogether. It wasn't finished anyway and I didn't expect anyone to find it until I announced it somewhere! :-) So, it'll become, at best, a private collection now. Um, how do you delete a page? —Bromskloss 21:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * You can still keep the page if you put a colon in front of the fair use images to link to them, like this Image:Example.jpg . If you want to delete it, though, you can put the  template on the page. Khatru2 22:47, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but the point was to have a nice, graphic index of images – candy to the eye and easily browsable. Also, I find it a bit funny that userpages can't be deleted at will by their owners. —Bromskloss 17:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Perl script
Hey, I didn't want to play one-up on the computer reference desk -- but I think I have a much cleaner little filter that's easier to understand than the one mysid gave you: while (<>) { print; last if (/EndProlog/); }

while (<>) { $temp = "" if (/Gpdict begin/); $temp .= $_; }

print $temp;

Less general, perhaps. Print everything up to and including first EndProlog; print everything after and including last Gpdict begin. --jpgordon&#8711;&#8710;&#8711;&#8710; 06:31, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah, yes, very nice. I'm very happy I got such good help. —Bromskloss 10:10, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Crimson Skies
Hi, Bromskloss. Do you still remember about the game Crimson Skies that you mentioned to me? Well, I am wondering if the PC game for it...is it good? -- Zachary crimsonwolf  13:47, 25 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi! No, it's actually no good at all. I am just fascinated by it for the setting in which it plays out. It looks like the 30s or so, and the player is part of a group of some kind of air pirates (I love flight!). They use a zeppelin as base from and onto which they launch and land their airplanes. How cool! (Apparently, this has even been experimented with in real life.) The gameplay consists of fighting other pirate gangs and possibly the law enforcement as well. I seem to remember that the aircraft behaviour was very unrealistic, so unfortunately no good game. —Bromskloss 16:53, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Okay, then. I was thinking about getting it as a gift, but..oh well. Any recommendations? Aircraft games? -- Zachary crimsonwolf  13:32, 26 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I don't play much games so I don't even know what's out there these days. —Bromskloss 20:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Ok. Thanks, have a nice day! Cheers!!! -- Zachary crimsonwolf  13:13, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

There's some extensive answers to your question. I'm not sure many would have worn kippa in those days. --Dweller 11:23, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:JFKmotorcade.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:JFKmotorcade.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:16, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
