Hi, Egon:

I'm glad to see someone else is editing articles on South Korea! Just to let you know, there are a few articles already on some of the expressways in South Korea, but they are listed by name (for example, Gyeongbu Expressway, Gyeongin Expressway, and Honam Expressway). I changed the links on your Roads and Expressways in South Korea page from the route numbers to the route names, and redirected your Expressway No 1 article to the Gyeongbu Expressway article. I hope you don't mind. Of course, you can add material to the Gyeongbu Expressway article if you wish!

Yours, Sewing 00:04, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Image attribution
Interesting article on Order of The Cross Of Terra Mariana! Just one thing (sort of important): You must always attribute the sources of the images you uploaded here (e.g. Image:Maarjamahobetaht.jpg) That means a specific URL. Or a book if you scanned it. Or if you got it from another WP, say so. We do this to conform to our copyleft policies. Thanks for cooperating, and keep up your good writing! --Menchi 03:38, 29 Nov 2003 (UTC)


 * If you scanned from some book, you then should add that note ("Source: Eesti riiklikud teenetemärgid. Tallinn: SE & JS, 1998 . - 116 lk. : ill.ISBN 9985-854-11-X") to the image description pages. That's what the image description pages are for. (See also Image_use_policy) --Menchi 04:11, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Samcheok-shi's capital is called Samcheok-shi too?

Btw, sign your name with four simple tildes ( ~ ). Not Egon, which doesn't link to a user page or any page. --Menchi (Talk)ü| â 12:08, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hi again, Egon:

It's great to see your contributions on Korean subjects! If you have time, you might want to add all your new articles to List of Korea-related topics. It's okay if you don't: I can add them some time too.

Yours, Sewing 20:02, 8 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Hello. According to the Revised Romanization of South Korea, X&#24066; should be romanized into "X-si". I hope this helps you. --Nanshu 23:16, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Egon, please have a look at User talk:Mic for our discussion of articles about Estonian counties. Andres 14:32, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)

New articles vs. Existing articles
Hi, Egon: before adding articles, please check to see if the article already exists. For example, you created The Honam Expressway, but there was already a Honam Expressway article. Also, you created Gangneung-shi, but there was already a long article entitled Gangneung. In both cases, I merged your new material into the existing article. You can check the List of Korea-related topics to see if an article already exists. --Sewing 02:53, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Administrative divisions in South Korea
Hi again, Egon: Si (&#49884;; English: city) and Gun (&#44400;; English: county) are both divisions of Do (&#46020;). Si are often referred to just by their name, without Si at the end (like Gangneung, Cheongju, Jeonju, and Pohang). I think it's best for Si to have the article titles just be the name of the city, without Si. On the opening line of the article, you can write something like this:


 * Gangneung-si (...) is a city in Gangwon Province, South Korea....

For Gun--which are less often referred to in English--giving the full, official name (Cheorweon-gun, Goryeong-gun, ...) might make more sense.

Finally, you can check the article Administrative divisions of Korea, which outlines the administrative divisions in South Korea.

 * Hi, Egon! Now the only problem is that PNG-images are preferable. Is there any way to transform your images to PNG?


 * The Estonian Wikipedia has gone over to the new software. Now it is possible to uploads files there. Andres 22:50, 18 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Source for image
Could you give your source for Image:Gangneungs.jpg? It's been listed on possible copyright infringements, so if you do not I may have to sorrowfully delete it. Martin 01:14, 18 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Thanks
Just wanted to say thanks for your contributions to South Korea. Kokiri 22:11, 21 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Hi, Egon: I also want to thank you for your South Korea contributions. I hope I didn't push you away through too many complaints about style. Please continue to contribute--Wikipedia has too few editors who are interested in the country! --Sewing 18:31, 28 Feb 2004 (UTC)

Translation of the week
Tere! Do you want to participate in this progect? As you live in Korea you should translate this article fo Estonian. I know that you founded Tatarstani Vabariik. So, could you briefly translate the Kazan article to Estonian (Kasaan)? thanks.--Untifler 13:56, 12 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status? (You can use if you release it under the GNU Free Documentation License,  if you claim fair use, etc.) If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know where you got the imagesand I'll tag them for you. Thanks so much. [[User:Poccil|Peter O. (Talk, automation script)]] 23:46, Dec 9, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:


 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Image tag
Hi! Thanks for uploading the following image:


 * Image:Easternvirucounty.jpg

I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to let us know its copyright status?

You can use   if you wish to release your own work under the GNU Free Documentation License,    if you wish to release your own work to the public domain,    if you claim fair use of someone else's work, and so on. Click here for a list of the various tags.

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the image from, and I'll tag it for you. (And if you know exactly what this means and are really tired of the constant reminders, please excuse me. They will stop once the tagging project is complete.) Thanks so much. Denni &#9775; 23:14, 2004 Dec 18 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

WikiProject South Korean counties and cities
Hi, Egon! Thanks for your contributions to South Korean topics. If you have time, perhaps you would like to help out with WikiProject South Korean counties and cities. It's an initiative with the goal of massively improving our coverage of South Korean geography. Feel free to discuss or change anything on the project page, too, it's still rather unfinished. Cheers! -- Visviva 04:47, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Hoengseong.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hoengseong.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Renata 03:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Hoengseong.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hoengseong.jpg. 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:Yeongdong.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 00:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 00:43, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Yeongwol.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Yeongwol.jpg. 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.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and 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.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 00:44, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images 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.

Thanks for uploading Image:Hoengseong.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Yeongdong.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Yeongdong.jpg. 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.

Image:Eumseong.jpg
I have tagged Image:Eumseong.jpg as no rationale, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Use rationale examples. Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Egon. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Egon~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:40, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
