How do I add images to the featured candidate list?
Janke, thanks again for your help and feedback. I have uploaded higher resolution versions of each of my images, and corrected the color balance on one of them (seen at right). If you could point me towards a tutorial on how to add images to the featured picture candidates list, I'll nominate one of them and see how it goes. Otherwise feel free to nominate your favorite. Sincerely, moondigger 00:02, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Hello. I just dropped in to say a nice and beautiful hello to you. I am using the Image:Animhorse.gif on my page for the time being. The "horse" is giving me inspiration. Regards. --Bhadani 16:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Unverified information in Helsinki?
Exactly which information is unverified in Helsinki? You should post a list on the talk page. J I P | Talk 11:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That applies to Hanko, Finland as well. Please comment on talk before tagging again, thanks. --Janke | Talk 15:25, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Er, it wasn't that I spotted any false information, just that I tend to add that tag if I don't see any references, in order to encourage people to do so. Sorry if I didn't use the tag properly. Skinnyweed 17:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Janke,

Thanks for removing the link and adding the reference to storyboard. I will try to add some detail to the article. Leaders100 17:02, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Janke, I've closed the wavecut platform nomination as a "Not Promoted" - tough decisiong but I based it off this discussion. Do you mind if I delete your edit? It is not used anywhere else apart from the nomination page. Thanks, --Fir0002 08:46, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Filmmaking
Hey, I decided to finally get together and try to start a WikiProject for Filmmaking. Currently the temporary page is User:Girolamo Savonarola/wikiproject until I have a few more editors - enough to justify making it into a proper Project. Anyhow, just wanted to invite you to participate, and of course offer any comments you may have on the project. Thanks! (PS - don't forget to sign here as well.)

Sweden-Finland
Wow, I love your miniature train and I want one! Didnt know you could get them that big :) I just wanted to point out that the use of the term Sweden-Finland is according to my experience at least not regarded as "justified" and is at least not common among historians. Many historians regard "Denmark-Norway" and "Sweden" as good descriptions of the differences between the two entities (Denmark, Norway, Iceland) and (Sweden, Finland). Have a nice day. Inge 16:45, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I would probably love building one as well. I don,t think it's dead wrong, but as the article says it can be misleading when used togeather with Denmark-Norway. Maybe you can just do this: Sweden, on the apropriate links in the chart.

Nomination for Delisting (Animated Horse)
Hello. Very recently I was pointed out to the "courtesy call" of informing the original nominator if his/her image is being nominated for delisting. I admit, I was somewhat aware of the practice, but I seemed to miss the boldfaced notice saying that it was necessary. At the time of the nominations, I was also very busy and unable to continue perusing Wikipedia. Just now I read the comments under the subject's page and the FPC Discussion page and I felt obliged to respond. In no way were my inactions intentional and I apologise for the delay in my responding and the inconvenience it catalysed. Thank You. -- AJ24 01:52, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

"Animhorse" image has been nominated for Replacement
The "Animhorse" image, in which you nominated for FP status on "1 January 2006", has been nominated for Replacement. Please visit the Nominations section of the Featured Pictures Candidates page to address concerns and comments that may arise. Reminder: The image is solely being nominated for replacement and may not be. Thank You. -- AJ24 20:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

image edit request
Hey Janke,

Hope all is well with you! I wanted to ask a small favor - might you be able to revise Image:35mmareas.gif? Apparently the edition of the ASC manual which was used to compile the info on the 35 mm film page had a typo - it should be .866 not .864 for one of the camera aperture dimensions. I wouldn't normally request this, but I'm trying to push the article to FA at the moment. Many thanks in advance! Girolamo Savonarola 12:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your Curta image
I just dropped in to say hello to you, and to thank you for one of your photographs. I have placed your image of a partially dissassmbled Curta on the CurtaTesting page of the curta.org Wiki Wiki site. Regards -- Jack -- 20:18, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Upsampling
Janke -- You can e-mail me by going to my userpage or talk page and clicking the "E-mail this user" link in the toolbox on the left side of the screen. My e-mail address is registered, so the link should work. In any case, I'd be happy to take a stab at upsampling, but what has to be done in this particular case may be beyond the capabilities of the tools I have at my disposal. A crop from a 2 megapixel image just sounds like too little starting information to me. Of course if the editor likes the image, she might choose to go with it anyway. -- Moondigger 13:41, 28 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, I tried various methods and the two third-party tools I have at my disposal. This is the best one, though personally I don't think it's magazine-cover quality.  I didn't sharpen it because sharpening should be done as the last step prior to printing, and should be tailored to the print process being used.  (I have no idea what that particular magazine's sharpening requirements are.) Download it here:   Good luck. -- Moondigger 00:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Congratulations, Janke! It's a nice photo -- I'm glad the resolution and upsampling met the magazine's needs.  Let me know when the issue comes out; I'll look for a copy.  -- Moondigger 22:13, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

SVG is preferred (re. Image:Diagram of eye evolution.jpg)
Good job, but... If you could provide this image in the scalable SVG format, I'd be happy to propose it for Featured Picture status. --Janke | Talk 11:16, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow - I'm flattered that someone wants to nominate my diagram for Featured Pictures! I'll look into re-exporting it from my original files, but it'll take a few days. As the notes on the image mention, some of the finishing was done in Photoshop (which doesn't support saving as SVG), so I'll have to tweak the drawing in CorelDRAW and export as an SVG from there. I'll let you know when I've uploaded the new version. ~Matticus TC 09:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've finally got around to changing the diagram to an SVG (I've altered the layout and colouration a bit too). I had a hard time dealing with CorelDRAW's semi-broken SVG export feature, though I've finally got something usable out of it. The text still seems to be a bit of a problem, as the captions were meant to be in Times italic and the labels in Arial Narrow - I've tried almost every export option but it refuses to have two styles of text in the image. The only foolproof workaround I've found is to export the text as curves, but this balloons the file size about eight-fold. Still, it doesn't look too bad in its current form. It's at Image:Diagram of eye evolution.svg, so let me know what you think. ~Matticus TC 20:48, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

''An image is redundant only if it has exactly the same name on Commons. Your deletion caused a redlink! If you delete again, please avoid this pitfall by checking and changing all file links. Thanks -- --Janke | Talk 21:14, 2 October 2006 (UTC)''


 * yeah, i'm really really sorry about that. It was the first time i had done image deletions, and i think i did that to a few pics before i realized how i was effing things up and began making sure to verify that everything was still linking properly.  It won't happen again, and i really am really sorry.  unfortunately i have no real way of telling which ones i screwed up until it gets brought to my attention . ..
 * the pic name at commons is multiplane camera.jpg, so i'll go ahead and fix those links. Sorry for the extra work this has caused you.  -- he  ah  00:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Monitors
Thanks, and yes my laptop monitor is admittedly a little limited at times, though I have calibrated it about as well as I can.

I can see the change in Edit 2, and usually can see any changes, but I simply cannot see your edit at all (I mean I literally cannot see the picture, not that I can't see the changes). I don't know why, but it won't load, even when I go to the image page itself. --jjron 08:16, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

FPC - Zabriskie Point Panorama
I was wondering if you wouldn't mind looking at Featured picture candidates/Zabriskie Point Panorama again. The image is in FPC limbo awaiting more imput. I have created an edit that adjusted the levels and correcting some stitching errors. I'm not sure if that is enough to convey the feeling of the place, but your imput would still be greatly valued.

Oh, come on
Don't be so down on breasts. They are beautiful. Hah, but seriously, I am in awe when gazing at the photograph and I feel that it is better than a vast majority of the pictures on Wikipedia. It really is attention grabbing and is definitely an extraordinary photograph within its topic and within the entire Wikipedia project. It is certainly a prime example of one of the best photographs Wikipedia has to offer! Wikipediarul e s 2221 07:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Image:Giraffewithbaby.jpg
Hello Janke, thank you very much for your courteous reply. Unfortunately I don't think I can find a higher quality image than this one, as the friend of mine who took this travels extensively and I don't see her much. However, I do believe the quality is still reasonably good, and the picture's subject is of such high quality, that this fact overrides any quality concerns.

Danke, Janke!
Thank you for your kind words on my user page. I lived in an apartment house with a gentleman whose native language is Estonian. Thus was my interest in the Finno-Ugric languages and their corresponding cultures piqued. As a teacher of English to speakers of other languages, I am used to 'deciphering' ( if that is indeed the word) what non-native speakers or writers of English 'meant' to say. And, quite frankly, I expected a Finn to treat my input with respect and intelligence, and I have not been disappointed.Writtenright 01:21, 27 December 2006 (UTC)Writtenright

Featured picture candidates/First color photo
During the promotion discussion I contacted the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation to inquire whether the image up for promotion is the best version they know of, or whether it would be able to feature a better copy. I got this response today: University of Edinburgh                        School of Physics - Image of Maxwell's tartan ribbon   --- Thank you for your enquiry about the source of the Wikipedia image of the tartan ribbon in the shape of a rosette. That version, with the tails of the rosette pointing upwards, is most closely matched by the photograph in Marischal College, Aberdeen. I have found out from Dr John S Reid, Aberdeen University, that - so far as he is aware - the Wikipedia one is not derived from the Marischal College one. The one we prefer to show is the one in the 1961 Scientific American. It is in a centenary commemorative paper by Ralph Evans, who had the cooperation of Kodak Labs in doing a re-run of the Maxwell method using copies of Maxwell's actual lantern slides. His version has the ribbon tails pointing downwards. More importantly, it shows how they could not get the three images to overlap precisely, and parts of the image have the colours separated out, rainbow-like. We do not know the orientation that Maxwell chose for the Royal Institution discourse in March 1861. The Wikipedia version - no rainbowing - is like a digitally enhanced copy of the Evans/Kodak one, but the quality could be improved. By coincidence, a Professor Curtin in Maryland, USA, hopes to put a representation of Maxwell's technique using copies of Maxwell's lantern slides on to his website. We have sent him (on a CD) copies of the set of lantern slides which we have at 14 India Street. He will have quite a lot of work to do on them to get suitably enhanced copies to do his web exercise: to get all three images exactly the same size and all background flaws removed. I shall keep you informed of his progress. He may be interested in making his result available via Wikipedia. I have NOT asked him about that possibility. If he is interested, I shall, of course, send him copies of our email messages; but that might well be some weeks from now. With best wishes. Richard C Dougal Dr R C Dougal; Trustee, James Clerk Maxwell Foundation; It contains a lot of ifs and buts, so I propose we stick with the current consensus and keep the current version featured until the potential new version materializes and we actually get free license to feature it. I doubt we will be able to get the 1961 Scientific American version under a free license. Take care, trialsanderrors 20:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Great, if we could get hold of a better scan! Then, you'd just overwrite the old one, and it will stay a featured picture without need for re-nominating. BTW, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think SciAm can hold a copyright of the image, since it is just a reproduction of the old plates... --Janke | Talk 09:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I would think it depends on how much (creative) effort they put into creating the new version. In this case it might make the difference. For us it simply boils down to whether they claim to have the copyright, because we are not in the position to challenge it. ~ trialsanderrors
