Jeringozo
It is not on the DRAE... but it is the word people use.


 * "Jeringonza" is the word people use. A Google Fight confirms that. --Fibonacci 22:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Jeringonza... I am from Buenos Aires, I am 43 now, and I have never heard it pronounced that way...


 * I've lived in Colombia for more than 16 years, and have never heard "jeringozo". Mostly "jeringonza" and the occasional "jeringonzo". --Fibonacci 22:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I would not give DRAE authority over Argentine slang when (you can be sure that) every Argentine reference you can contact will tell you otherwise... elpincha 19:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I would not give Argentine slang authority over DRAE when (you can be sure that) jeringonza is spoken all over Latin America, not only in Argentina. --Fibonacci 22:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I am not reverting. Just passed by here again to note that jeringonza means many different things... the second article on Google (where I lost the "fight") is this, and I would exclude this result from a "fair" fight. To me, it is obvious that the Argentine usage was far more prevalent than the Colombian usage, and I'd even venture that Colombians got the name from Argentine movies. Since this cannot be proved, I defer to your changes. Cambio y fuera. elpincha 01:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Uniform tiling images
Hi, I appreciate the SVG replacements for my GIF tiling images. I'm not sure how you do the conversion. I'm interested in showing the 32 uniform colorings for the 11 uniform tilings, and don't want to keep uploading inferior images. I'm wondering if you could help? I uploaded temporary image from a book, showing he 32 patterns: Image:Uniform_tile_colorings_draft.png Tom Ruen 01:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I appreciate the SVG replacements for my GIF tiling images. I'm not sure how you do the conversion.


 * Erm... manually? I do most of my SVG coding by hand, but Inkscape or Sodipodi could help a lot. You would still have to redraw the polygons by hand, though. --Fibonacci 06:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

 * Sure. I'll start classes tomorrow so I'll probably be a bit busy, but sure I can help. --Fibonacci 06:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I uploaded temporary image from a book, showing he 32 patterns: Image:Uniform_tile_colorings_draft.png Tom Ruen 01:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Downloaded. But could you please explain me a bit about those colourings? I don't think the image is clear enough by itself. --Fibonacci 06:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! The colors are unimportant. The pictures are grayscale, so a bit hard to see some maybe. The label shows a code, like 121212 means alternating two colors at a vertex. Or 1111 means one color, and 1234 mean four different colors around a vertex. Does that help? Tom Ruen 07:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I think I do understand. You want me to do an image like this, only with all the possible colourings? --Fibonacci 03:30, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:NorthBorneoFlag2.png
Thanks for uploading Image:NorthBorneoFlag2.png. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Angr 12:01, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

BIP
The group does not appear to be notable enough for their own article; in any event, if they were, the proper title would be something like "BIP (band)". &mdash;tregoweth (talk) 21:34, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Dealers den
Hello, I saw you were helping Argox with his Spanish translation of the article furry convention. While reading (and correcting) the translation, I came across an ambiguous phrase which could be translated to Spanish in two ways with different meanings:
 * (...) a Dealers Den where art and comic book distributors and other merchants can sell their wares for a fee

So, does it mean that the merchants have to pay a fee to be allowed to sell, or that (as is usually the case) it's the merchants who charge a fee to the buyers?

Thanks in advance for your help, --Fibonacci 11:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * You have found a phrase that could be explained better in the article. In fact, both meanings are implied here. The Dealers Den is a place where dealers (either professional artists with lots of prints or framed works, or dealers of other people's art/comics/books/T-shirts/plush toys/fashion accessories) may rent a table from the convention, for a price - at Anthrocon, anywhere from $75 for half a table (3 foot by 3 foot) to $525 for a square island (10 foot by 10 foot) . They may then sell to the people who attend the convention.
 * This contrasts with the Artists' Alley, which usually does not charge artists for space to sell - however, the space is much smaller (see the pictures in the article to compare), there is no guarantee that they will get it if there are too many people (some conventions are starting to sell small badges to get a good place for $10-$20), they must remain there most of the time to keep their place, and they must only sell their own work.
 * Thank you for assisting Argox with the translation, and for your work against vandalism of the article. GreenReaper 23:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, since the second meaning is implied by default, I finally decided to translate only the first one to Spanish. Thank you for your help. --Fibonacci 18:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Delamo concept.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Delamo concept.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image 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 image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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. Chowbok  ☠  01:46, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Untagged image
An image you uploaded, Image:Yukon coa.png, was tagged with the coatofarms copyright tag. This tag was deleted because it does not actually specify the copyright status of the image. The image may need a more accurate copyright tag, or it may need to be deleted. If the image portrays a seal or emblem, it should be tagged as seal. If you have any questions, ask them at Media copyright questions. -- 14:13, 30 December 2006 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrphanBot (talk • contribs)

If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

Pena de muerte en Colombia
Vi que quitó a Colombia de la lista de paises que no usan la pena de muerte de User:Nightstallion/death penalty. El artículo 11 de la constitucion afirma: «El derecho a la vida es inviolable. No habrá pena de muerte». No hay pena de muerte en Colombia, o me equivoco? --– sampi ( talk • contrib • email ) 19:54, 4 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Estoy cofundido, hay varias partes de la lista. Una parte es de los paises que han abolido la pena de muerte, otra es de los paises en las que es legal y no la usan, y la ultima es paises en que es legal y la usan. Yo agregué a Colombia a la lista de paises donde la pena ha sido abolida. Talvez no entendí bien la lista, ¿se supone que los paises que no aplican la pena de muerte para nada no deben estar?--– sampi ( talk • contrib • email ) 20:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Flag of the Department of Santander
Of course i would be happy to explain, The Flag of Santander was officially changed on September 1, 2006, by means of the Decree 254 of 2006 which states in Article 1 that "Modificar el artículo segundo del decreto 579 de 1972, en lo pertinente a las estrellas, el cual quedará así: LAS ESTRELLAS de plata son representación de los ocho (8) Núcleos de Desarrollo Provincial del Departamento de Santander."

This information IS in the Governorship site you just have to look a lil closer, at the bottom of this page in the section that says "Archivos a Descargar" you can find the link to download this Decree "Decreto254_2006_Bandera" and you will see for yourself, and even though some images in the same overnorship page still have the 6 stas, there are also some others that now show the 8 stars, and actually, i just noticed that the Coat of arms of the Department of Santander has also changed, before it had six argent stars in a border field of gules on the upper part of the shield, but now it has eight, however, there is no Decree or explanation to support this fact, all i know is that the governorship now shows a shield with 8, which makes sense since if they changed the flag for the same reasons why not the COA. Should the coat of arms be changed?

As for FOTW, i cannot speak for them, nor i think the Department of Santander was thinking of contancting the site to change its symbols, and the site is not always 100% accurate.

Hope to have cleared any doubts. mijotoba 15:34, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Colombia Británica/Columbia Británica
Interesting; I"m from BC of course and I'm half-fluent in Spanish; in French of course it's colombie-brittannique (I never get how many t's and n's right) and I also speak some French (I'm 1/8 but learned it on my own). Why it's interesting, knowing the history in my area and the provenance of the name - via the Columbia District and its partition in 1846 - is that the name derives, via the river, from the ship, which was named after the "poetic name" for the US, Columbia (as in "Hail, Columbia!" and District of Columbia, of course].  Obviously the Spanish legacy concerning hte name follows the same pattern as how it came to be in English, i.e. derived from the river/ship; both of which in french are "Columbia", and the point of BC is it's the British sector of Columbia; some of our historians have referred to south of 49 as "Southern Columbia" (in the course of bewailing its loss). Hmmm...not that it's going to change anyone in Quebec's or France's mind about it, but it's interesting to know that Spanish has the proper form of the name, and doesn't impose a hispanicism on the name the way French has; despite, again, that french gets the name of the river right. The clincher will be, and I'm not sure, what the French name for the Columbia District is; the sense of that is "the district of the Columbia River" - how odd if it's la fleuve Columbia but le departement de la colombie - I think the HBC district-name in French might have been departement de Columbia (haven't fond a French usage of it yet; there's no Wiki article on the Columbia District) but certainly if it was, then Columbia-brittanique SHOULD be the right form. Its Spanish equivalent apparently is in that language; but colombie-brittanique is so entrenched in French, particularly Canadian French, that despite the obvious error there's no hope of ever changing their minds. Oh well.....just FYI and as a side-comment on your edit.....Skookum1 19:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Now that you've got that figure as an svg, it should be easy to fix to show the pattern better. It will show up best when the lines are about 50% duty cycle; i.e. line width equal to space. Dicklyon 23:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Hk22.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Hk22.png. 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.

Koch curve images
Hi Fibonacci

I've been looking for scalable images of the Koch curve and the Koch snowlfake and found yours on Wikipedia. They're great, my machine wont download them, maybe because of the file type? I wondered if you could maybe supply them as vector EPS files? Then I'm sure I could open them on my Mac using Illustrator...that would be fantastic! Thanks

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ubuntu Logo.svg. 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. Tcrow777 talk  05:52, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of PySoulseek (software)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on PySoulseek (software), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because PySoulseek (software) is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting PySoulseek (software), please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Radiation Symbol images
On Commons, you contributed a magenta radiation warning symbol Image:radiation warning symbol-US.svg, which amazingly enough, is something less than 500 bytes. Then someone had the one for black on yellow, which you substituted another one, and while theirs was 5K, yours was again only about 412 bytes. However, yours was black with no background rather than black on yellow, so they reverted it. I took your symbol, put a yellow square behind it, and it comes up 2 1/2K. I looked at the file in Wordpad (fortunately SVG images are text rather than binary) and discovered Inkscape adds a lot of metadata which isn't really necessary for interpreting the image (or at least it isn't in this case), so I cut and pasted the rectangle as text from one to the other, and I come up with one that's 720 bytes, which is amazing, so I have replaced the previous one which was 5K. I have also re-uploaded the one you did so that it is also available by itself.

I have to admit that I was unaware of how much power the SVG specification has in terms of making images that can be much smaller (due to the capability for an image to replicate and rotate part of itself.) I like SVG for its capacity to automatically resize as the image is shrunk or expanded, but I didn't realize how really versatile it is, or how a master of the specification such as your self can do amazing things with it. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 23:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)


 * The "useless metadata" (that is, useless for every program except Inkscape and perhaps Sodipodi) is one of the reasons I rarely use Inkscape, and code most of my SVG files by hand. If you want to learn more about the specification, I suggest reading http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/ (not the whole contents, of course, but only the parts you want to use).
 * Thank you for your message. --Fibonacci 09:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

You're a better man than I am, Fib! (Shades of Gunga Din). I like the idea and I might do some work like perhaps editing a file by hand and stripping unnecessary metadata but I don't have the math background to be able to do something like that! I couldn't even visualize how one does something like what you did or know how to get it properly inside the bounding box, and so on; I'd have to use a drawing program, at least to know what the commands need to be. Which fortunately the SVG file format, being plain text, gives us the capability to do things like that.

I have gone through and replaced another image which was identical to your black one only changing the color from black to a shade of orange, and the file size drops from 5K to less than ½K. If you look at the metadata stored by Commons concerning who created or replaced a file, it is interesting that the original image goes from 5K to 2K on my first pass, then down so low that I don't think it's possible to do better than that.

What I think, for persons such as myself that I might use something like Inkscape to create an image and perhaps then optimize it by hand (similar to the way people hand-optimized programs before compilers got a whole lot better.) Or perhaps make suggestions to the programmers who wrote it or look at the code to see about adding access to additional features. Programs like that, and a new one I'm trying Blender, have a steep to very steep learning curve, but once you can figure out how to use them, they can provide some amazing features. But they really need work on the user interface, they're often puzzling to figure out.

There are three other images that I either want to convert from JPG (using the trace function in Inkscape) or if already as SVG, try to do a reduction on similar to what you have done, and see what I can do to make them smaller, basically as an intellectual exercise. I am going to look at the specification (which I have downloaded) because one of the things I am interested in is the replication feature (I think the XML keyword is "use" which allows a portion of the image to be duplicated somewhere else; this might be useful in some constructs.)

I mean, seriously, the practice of making these images smaller, it's the sort of thing that is fun to do to show one's prowess and capability, but, for most things hand-tuning is probably overkill. Yes, trimming an image size by 90%, still leaving it editable and not changing its appearance is a good idea, but it's not like I'm going to notice the difference. Let's see, my main hard drive has 39 GB free of 180GB. The secondary external drive I have (to transfer files between computers and to store backup files like copies of my MP3s) has 185GB free out of 275GB. (Obviously, you can tell, I collect a lot of crap!) In my case, It's not like I need the space, and files generally take a minimum of 4K anyway.

There are, however, benefits if we continue to consider about using resources responsibly, say in the case of programmers (of which I have been one for 25 years): faster load times, smaller programs, and perhaps a better experience for the user.

So, maybe it isn't technically necessary to fight for that extra byte (or rather, to get rid of the extra byte!) But, as I pointed out, it's still a badge of honor to show how really technically proficient one can be, in ways that other people probably can't even imagine and might not even understand why it is something some people think about, and are proud of.

Diacritics
Please don't start replacing manually the diacritics of S-comma and T-comma. You are indeed right that those are the correct diacritics. But there are several reasons why we keep the wrong ones for now and why we'll do the replacements with a bot.


 * The most important reason is that there are still many readers who see squares instead of S-comma and T-comma. For the others it's mostly a question of grafic detail, not of readability. We cannot force everyone to use updated OS's and browsers.
 * The replacement should be performed in a very short time interval across the whole project, so as the search feature remains usable.
 * The replacement has to be made in a specific order, so as to avoid broken internal links.

You may wish to take part in this talk: ro:Discuţie Wikipedia:Corectarea diacriticelor.

At the Romanian Wikipedia, users who have the comma versions of Ş and Ţ on their keyboards can keep those settings and still contribute with the cedilla versions by using a gadget, ro:Wikipedia:Unelte/Scripturi/Auto-diacritice, available in the preferences. — Adi Japan 06:35, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

SVG reducing help
I tried my hand at trying to reduce some of our SVG flag images by manually typing out reduced code in notepad. The flag I tried doing was Singapore. My earlier results was at Image:Sgtest.svg, but I am always having the problem with the stars. Every time I tried to add the stars using the simple code, Wikimedia and Inkscape think the image is corrupt and won't open/upload it. Since I know you do this pretty well, can you tell me what I am doing wrong or add the stars for me? Thanks. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:06, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Presidents of Colombia
Hello Fibanacci, I need a second opinion, I hope you can help me. I have been working on infoboxes for the Presidents of Colombia, I have been encountering some problems as I go along. The Template:Infobox Presidents has a section for the order, and I am debating on whether to keep adding it or not, it is complicated since Colombia does not officially use any numeration for presidents like the United States does, so Alvaro Uribe is just the President of Colombia while George W Bush is the 43rd President of the United States, we can figure out which number is Uribe, but there are complications, since there were many Acting Presidents or Interim Presidents, not to mention Triumvirates or titles such as President of Congress in Charge of the Executive Power or Commander General of the Army in charge of the Executive, so, what do you think, should the practice of order numbers be used for Colombian Presidents, or just put, "President of Colombia" "President of the Grenadine Confederation" and so on? mijotoba (talk) 04:49, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Copyright Müller-Lyer Drawing & Necker Cube?
Hello Fibonacci, I have a question about the Necker cube and Müller-Lyer images that you put on Wikipedia: I want to use these (or similar images) in a paper I want to publish in a philosophy journal. Since I've never done this before, I have no clue how the copyright works. Maybe you can help me out - either by pointing me to some website with information on this topic or telling me directly whether I can simply use images of the Necker cube and the Müller-Lyer Illusion. Thanks, Evamschmidt (talk) 12:43, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Muller-Lyer illusion
Hello Fibonacci,

I am collaborating with Dr. Madelyn Flammia and Dr. Houman Sadri of the University of Central Florida in finding photographs to be use in a textbook they are developing titled Intercultural Communication &International Relations. Your image of the Muller-Lyer illusion found on the Wikipedia page would fit well in their publication, and I was hoping I could have your permission to use it. The textbook is an academic publication and will be used for educational purposes. If you are willing to contribute your photograph, there is a simple permission form which needs to be filled out. Any assistance you can provide me for this project would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to hearing back from you with your response.

Hola, Fibonacci. Veo que también eres uniandino. Quisiera pedirte apoyo para la mejora del artículo de nuestra universidad en la Wikipedia en español hasta llevarlo a artículo destacado. ¿Que te parece? Actualmente estoy trabajando en aquí. Luego, podriamos traducirlo y mejorarlo también en la wiki en inglés. Locos epraix ~ Beastepraix 22:24, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

File:Greatseal.png needs authorship information.
Dear uploader:

The media file you uploaded as File:Greatseal.png appears to be missing information as to its authorship (and or source), or if you did provide such information, it is confusing for others trying to make use of the image.

It would be appreciated if you would consider updating the file description page, to make the authorship of the media clearer.

Although some images may not need author information in obvious cases, (such where an applicable source is provided),authorship information aids users of the image, and helps ensure that appropriate credit is given (a requirement of some licenses).

If you created this media yourself, please consider explicitly including your user name, for which: will produce an appropriate expansion,

or the own template..

If you have any questions please see Help:Image page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:54, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Swiss flag
Hi. There are currently two different versions of the Swiss flag used across the English wikipedia, so I started a discussion at WT:CH to see if there is one better version that we could use consistently.

penny for your thoughts?
Hi, Im wondering if you could help me with something, After another user commented on the List of Presidents of Colombia on being too complicated to read and full of misleading information, which was true, it prompted me to take some action and attempt do some changes and clarifications, specially because its not just this page that has misleading, unclear information, but every page relating to one of our "presidents", their vice presidents, first ladies, government ministers, elections, and the general way Colombian history is told in wikipedia in relation to its leaders and constitutional stages, and by fixing this list it can provide a guideline to fix and edit the relating articles and help in the making of future ones. So after a lot of research I have made some adjustments focusing on the constitutional presidents, like it should be, in any case could you take the time to look over what I've done in User:Mijotoba/List of Presidents of Colombia and give me your opinion, questions, and advice, it's hard to find other users from the Colombian wikiproject who may be familiar with its crazy history, and I wanna make sure that Im getting enough feedback before I make the changes in the actual page. Thanks. mijotoba (talk) 01:46, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Yellow pitaya y libro acerca de las pitahayas
Estimado Fibonacci:

En la Universidad Autónoma Chapingo, de México, estamos preparando el libro Las pitahayas en las artes plásticas, la historia y la literatura, que incluirá 200 obras de 120 artistas visuales de todo el mundo. Es un esfuerzo por difundir esta planta que es nativa de América.

Es de nuestro interés incluir la fotografía Yelow pitahaya, cuya imagen encontramos en Wikipedia. Esperamos su autorización, así como información de usted para la sección de biografías de los autores de las obras.

Le saludo cordialmente desde México. Adolfo Rodríguez Canto pitahaya@gmail.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.155.9.244 (talk) 14:27, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

French country gender map
Almost a year ago now, a user pointed out on the Grammatical gender article's Talk page (see here) that there is a mistake in this map. The United Kingdom is called "le Royaume-Uni" in French, and is therefore masculine in French, not feminine, as it is marked. While I realize that "la Grande-Bretagne" is a proper name for "Great Britain" in French, it actually is not a proper name for the whole country, as "Great Britain" does not include Northern Ireland, whereas "the United Kingdom" does. If you look at this article you will see from the first paragraph alone that French is just as strict as English in making this distinction.

Since I haven't a clue how to edit svg files, do you think you could change that one country's colour to green to indicate the name's French gender?

There is another thing you might consider: The map hasn't been updated to show the South Sudan (masculine, of course).

Thanks. Kelisi (talk) 05:50, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Fibonacci, some island in your SVG version, like Puerto Rico, is grey, while in the PNG version https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pays_masculin_feminin.png, it’s masculine. Why they don’t have color? Also, some countries’ gender in two versions are different. For example, Trinidad and Tobago, in the SVG version, is feminine, while in the PNG version, it’s masculine; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in the SVG version, is masculine, while in the PNG version, is feminine. Which version is correct? And why they’re different? Also, Canada’s Pelee Island in Lake Erie, in the PNG version, is feminine. Strange. Do you know why? Thanks for reading and answering my questions. Georgezh9617 (talk) 10:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello senior Fibonacci!
There is a interesting article I'd like to work on, but it's complicated and the article were deleted in multible times, even it's a possible and needed one! The Titel is „Nontologie" (German language) or „Nontology" in English speach. In my conception the non-ontologic kind of science is only fokused in all about nothing, nothingness etc pp in a fundamental way and understanding and not to confuse or false interpretation in nihilistic order. In my opinion „nothing" is realy important caused by the fact its not existing then between positiv and negativ sources and represents only a empty source. Remember : 0=1+(-1)! Maybe there is a way to get you into the boat of pro nontologic philosophers or scientists to establish or support the idea of Nontology, boarder science and pseydo religious - we believe in nothing! May it's a way out for all atheists to have religious possibilities!? There so many aspects of nontology and also multible paths in literation and media's, fewed from many angles in art and philosophy, different cultures and worldviews! Would you help to work on this project and so finding a place for the Nontology in history of knowledge!? I very please for, let me know fast, I hope the best!
