Kurt:

Thanks for respositioning the photos. Looks a lot better that way.

What is your interest in Gottschalk?

The Inner Circle
It was, as you mentioned, probably database lag. Try my little trick for purging the cache and it will probably work next time. It was in the history when I looked, no more mystery than that. The current page was an empty one, which I gather you made? Anyway, if you need any more help, just ask. gkhan 22:07, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

Image:Earl Hines.jpg
I have not deleted this image. That is truly odd. I suspect that something went wrong on the backend. If the image is free, would you mind reuploading? Burgundavia (✈ take a flight?) 06:19, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Audrey Hepburn
Re Audrey Hepburn image. I replaced it because I didn't think an encyclopedia should show children who come to use it for research a high-profile person smoking. Perhaps if you think it should remain then the article should include information on her addiction to tobacco and her numerous failed attempts to quit and how it killed her. Ted Wilkes 15:00, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you. There is no connection between Hepburn's photo and the other two. Hepburn's is an "ad" that at the time it was taken was part of life (her most memorable image is with the long cigarette holder) but we now know that stars influence children and cigarette ads have been banned in most countries. Hollywood's use of them in film is very controversial. I very much support inserting the other war etc. type photos. Thanks. Ted Wilkes 16:24, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) P.S. - I like your Quiz but failed them miserably!

User:KF/For future reference
Ah. Pearle was doing an automated sweep to change all instances of to. Your page was checked in detail because it contains the string. This should be just for compatibility with MediaWiki version 1.5, which will be installed on the Wikipedia servers in the coming weeks.

The reason this page was flagged for review was because its markup is relatively disorderly, compared to the typical article page, and Pearle was unable to automatically repair it. This makes perfect sense, since this page is not supposed to conform to the style guidelines for article pages. Pearle doesn't normally scan user pages for compliance with these guidelines, but yours was because of the msg: string. If you remove "msg:" from this page, it will no longer show up on future scans for this problem, whether it's Pearle that is doing them or someone else. If for some reason you would like to keep this string on your page, let me know, and I'll make a note to exclude this page on future checks. Sorry for the confusion, Beland 01:40, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Image of Anita Hill
The talk page implies that the image (Image:A Hill.jpg) cannot be used for commercial use which is not allowed under GFDL. Someone has apparently changed the template (after I originally applied it to the image in question) to denote that non-commercial uses images are now being considered for deletion. So, you will either have to find an image that can be used for commercial purposes, get permission for commercial use or eventually the image will be deleted. RedWolf 03:00, Jun 7, 2005 (UTC)

Read on
Sorry, my mistake. Edit in haste, etc. I didn't notice the second "See also", and at the time it seemed preferbale to "Read on". But I note that "Read on" is used very often in book articles, and it's fine with me.

List of people by name: Ste
OK, done. Part of the your misgivings about the task may have been just lack of practice with structuring principles that took me months to arrive at, but if you'll look, you'll see i've got a "secret" beyond that: some pages can't be organized well within this scheme, and have to be broken up. (And there are other tricks; trying to do breakups without templates is likely to drive you batty (if you're conscientious), and the substantial experimentation that it took to come up with the nested-template method was really worth it -- but still doesn't make it immediately intuitive, i expect.)

Thanks for adding all those names, and for pointing it out to me. If you want to ask questions about what i did in response to yr note, they'd be welcome. But i'd be glad to do the same sorts of things after any future fits of name adding that you find yourself called to. --Jerzy·t 01:29, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Gallagher
Having two lists of people named Gallagher is redundant, and it is easier to update one list than two. Saying the list was "deleted" is a bit misleading, as it was replaced with a link to a more complete list. All the information is still there. -R. fiend 14:35, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I'm in England. What is the weather/people/food like in Austria? Charlie123 14:22, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Please excuse my stupidity: of course the Wikipedia coverage is great. Don't take this personally, but I heard that the Chancellor (or other leader in Austria) was a Nazi officer during the Second World War. Is this true? If not then sorry for any offence. Charlie123 13:50, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Thanks for clearing that up. The book in which I read that was published in 1990, so was probably referring to Kurt Waldheim (the book was Neither Here Nor There by Bill Bryson about his trip through Europe, including Austria). It's quite funny. Thanks again. Charlie123 (Talk) 09:02, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Survey Notice on Mainpage
Hi KF,

I have moved your University of Würzburg survey, 2005 survey notice from the main page to the recent changes page, with your interests taken into consideration. Hopefully you will not mind this. If you wish to make further changes to the notice, it can be done via Recentchanges. :)

Quiz images

Can you add image tags to your quiz images, Image:Qu1.jpg to Image:Qu14.jpg, please? Gdr 22:38, 2005 May 9 (UTC)


 * Hi, you asked me to add image tags to my quiz images, Image:Qu1.jpg to Image:Qu14.jpg. Let me assure you that all the images are Wikipedia images (and thus are tagged elsewhere): I just renamed them and uploaded them a second time. If I added descriptions I'd be likely to give away the solutions to the questions.


 * If you do not find this answer satisfactory please contact me again.


 * Best wishes,  13:05, May 11, 2005 (UTC)


 * Yes, I understand they are copies of other images. It would be nice if you could add a note to each image along the lines of "This image is a copy of another image from Wikipedia, used in User:KF's quiz" together with the original licence. The presence of or  or whatever won't give away the answer. Gdr 13:10, 2005 May 11 (UTC)


 * Okay, I'll do that -- not today, but as soon as possible.  13:13, May 11, 2005 (UTC)


 * Done.  10:20, May 26, 2005 (UTC)


 * Thank you! Gdr 10:36, 2005 May 26 (UTC)

Note that the license for Image:Qu14.jpg requires that you attribute the creator, and you also have to give the URL where the photo was originally published. The upshot is that for this photo, at least, you can't hide where it's used. I love the quiz, by the way! dbenbenn | talk 03:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Liptauer
Hi KF. Do you still have the original version of Image:Liptauer.JPG? It would be wonderful if you could upload it (with the same file name). Images here generally don't have decorative borders. Thanks, dbenbenn | talk 03:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)


 * By the way, you might be interested in the Wikimedia Commons, a central repository of images. With the image category scheme there, you can upload a bunch of images there, but only use one or two in an article here.  dbenbenn | talk 03:22, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Naming conventions
Please see Naming_conventions and Naming conventions (films) before you move things. I moved pages to comform to the current naming convention, so please don't move them back. Thanks. --Ajshm 09:10, 17 August 2005 (UTC)


 * I must say I agree with you that it has created lots of possibly unnecessary work and a huge backlog. Last week I went through Category:Films by country (save American films) and 2000-2008 in Category:Films by year and it has been a rather sisyphean task. I don't intent to continue, I have better things to do, let others worry about it. =P --Ajshm 11:29, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome back. I probably get so many comments because I make so many controversial admin edits. :) Zoe 22:46, August 23, 2005 (UTC)

Leave the fraulein article alone.

205.188.117.14

Instead of your blocking the fraulein article, why don't we try to come up with some sort of wording that we both can agree on? Well I acknowledge that the term has declined in popularity, I feel that saying that the term is "hardly every used" is a bit extreem. The spirt it Wikipedia is to arrive at a compromise, not to block a page because of an edit war.

205.188.117.14


 * Thank you for your message. Of course I am prepared to discuss the contents of the Fräulein article&mdash;the best place to do so would of course be Talk:Fräulein, which has not been protected. However, repeatedly deleting my user and talk pages in a futile attempt to harm me is not going to help. Say what you have to say on that talk page&mdash;and I'm talking about arguments here, not insults&mdash;and wait for others to respond. All the best,  08:09, August 31, 2005 (UTC)

Aida
Hey, KF... I like your new article about the Aida cafe chain, kinda like the Starbucks of Austria. :) I was just thinking about translating the articles for Cafe Central and Cafe Pruckel when I saw you put the photos of Pruckel up on the Viennese cafe page. It all makes me want to visit Vienna the more. Maybe we should coordinate our cafe writing. Best, Tfine80 01:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Actually, I'm not really a huge coffee drinker myself and I only translated the original article from the German Wikipedia. But I think the Vienna cafe culture is fascinating, especially in its fin-de-siecle incarnation. I think what I like most is the idea of a social center that does not revolve around beer or cocktail drinking -- just as I'm intrigued by the Austrian Heurigen and the Arab sheesha bars around where I live.


 * I've never been to Austria, but I did live in Frankfurt am Main in Germany for three months during university... However, playing around on Wikipedia has really driven my interest in Vienna and Austria all the more. I'll certainly have to go someday now.


 * So I'm going to try to translate some of the other cafe articles -- maybe you could take some pictures if you are ever in the area. Did you make the interior picture from Aida today or very recently? Best, Tfine80 22:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Please check your images
I noticed that you have some images in the category Category:Images with unknown source. Due to the vast number of images in this category (12000+), and the fact that, lacking a source, they present considerable copyright uncertanty, Jimbo has stated, and added to the Criteria for Speedy Deletion, "Images in category "Images with unknown source" or "Images with unknown copyright status" which have been in the category for more than 7 days, regardless of when uploaded." This means the images can, and will, be deleted with no notice. To see a list of all the images you've uploaded(at least, under this username), review the upload log. You might also find User:Pearle/by-author-Category:Images_with_unknown_source.txt to be useful(search for your username). If you have any questions, please let me know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 06:43, 27 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for getting back to me. Well, your contributions list can be sorted by namespace, and the resulting list of Images can be examined.  Here are some of the ones that seem to me to be lacking sources: Image:Romy Schneider is Sissi.JPG, Image:Francis Joseph & Otto.JPG, Image:Zita.jpg, Image:Jürgens 1962.jpg, Image:Jürgens 2000's.jpg, Image:Dollfuß radio.jpg.  There are lots more.  It would be really helpful if you could go through the list, and make sure that all the film-screenshots are tagged (as film-screenshot), and they all list(in the image description page, not just as one of the pages they are included in) the film they came from, that all the photos you have taken are all tagged with PD-user|KF (assuming that's what you want to license them under), and that none of them have the unverified or no source or no license tags on them.  If you want help in doing this, let me know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 22:17, 27 September 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:The Persuaders.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:The Persuaders.jpg. I notice it currently doesn't have an image copyright tag, so its copyright status is therefore unclear. Please add a tag to let us know its copyright status. (If you created/took the picture then you can use to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use  .)  If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know on the image description page where you got the images and I'll tag them for you. Otherwise, see Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged imaged will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. you need to say from what film the screenshot was taken, what year the film was released and whether the screenshot is from DVD, Video, TV, web etc. Arnie587 23:41, 27 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi Arnie587. Thanks for your message, but isn't it a wee bit weird? There is the film-screenshot tag next to the image, the page is called The Persuaders (surprisingly, it's a screenshot from The Persuaders!), and on top of that you add or whatever and write all of the above? What next? Best wishes, and consider taking a break!    00:02, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi as well as the tag you need to say on the image page from what film the screenshot was taken, what year the film was released and whether the screenshot is from DVD, Video, TV, web etc. Arnie587 00:07, 28 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Says who? And do you realize that this image was uploaded ages ago and anybody could have a guess at the data you mentioned? What is your intention? To delete the image?   00:10, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi the 1st bit of the message is automated I added my own bit (you need to say from what film the screenshot was taken) JesseW mentions it in the message above (and they all list(in the image description page, not just as one of the pages they are included in) the film they came from) I read somewhere else you should state the media from which the screenshot was taken I'll try and find it and post it. If you add more info to your images it looks like you have taken more care and are not just uploading images from google and they are less likely to be marked as suspect (Ive just found a ton of promo or copyright images tagged as screenshot with no description or source. Cheers Arnie587 00:19, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Budapest train stations
Dear KF, I have no chance to travel to Budapest in the near future, so I have to accept that you shot that photo at the Keleti. What I think confused me that the ticket hall on is much less frequently used than the underground one next to the stairs, and is very similar to the one at the Nyugati station. Sorry for the inconvenience I caused, I reverted all my edits. --Yves d&#39;Esprit 20:21, 26 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi, and thanks for your message. Last summer I arrived at Budapest Ferihegy International Airport with Wizzair, took a taxi to the city, had to spend the night there and then, early next morning, walked all the way to Keleti station. Although I arrived there in time for the 7 o'clock train to Vienna in the end I missed it because I was redirected from the ticket counters you mention (near the underground) to that old ticket hall, seemingly the only place where international tickets are sold. Buying, and paying for, the ticket was a very complicated affair, I almost missed the next train as well, and then it was a slow one via Sopron. I had to change trains twice (the 7 o'clock would have been a direct one). I finally arrived in Vienna late in the afternoon. That was the absurd final leg of my journey, and that's why I'll always remember Keleti train station.

In case this is not on your watchlist, I've nominated your photograph as a featured picture candidate. Thryduulf 00:41, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi KF, I couldn't tell if you were a little bit offended by my criticisms of the image; I just wanted to let you know that I really do like the picture quite a bit and that those issues (cropping, centering) were rather minor. Anyways, if you get a chance at some point, I think a lot of people would appreciate a higher resolution version, even if it doesn't become a Featured Picture. I know I would! •• MDD 4696  ( talk - contribs ) 16:35, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Can I say that while it is perfectly understandable for you to feel a bit defensive towards the comments on the featured picture page, I feel like they were criticisms of its suitability for being featured more than a criticism of the photo itself, and I don't think you need ask for everyone to stop commenting because you didn't submit it for that purpose. Of course, thats your choice, but we'd appreciate constructive efforts on your part as I think the majority of us feel the photo has plenty of potential Diliff 01:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi again, I don't think it was implied you were being desctructive merely because I said that we would appreciate constructive efforts. You're reading too far into what I said (or didn't say, I suppose). Basically, as was suggested/requested on the FPC page, the size of the photo is quite small and not ideally suited for FPC as is, but if a higher resolution scan could be provided, it may be far more likely to be approved. As for the question of whether a static image could be improved, perhaps you should look at the discussions on previous FPCs. We have a number of talented photoshoppers who have been able to, at times, improve the sharpness, colour tone and aesthetics of a photo without adding or subtracting anything significant from the subject matter. However, we can only work with the image that is provided and in its current state, many believe it is too small and low in resolution. My personal gut feel is that perhaps it is a little bright and would look more aesthetically pleasing when luminosity levels are adjusted. Once a higher resolution image was submitted, some edits could be floated around for discussion and a group consensus could be reached. This is all up to you and I'm not pressuring you into doing it - merely anwering the questions that you asked regarding what 'could' be done. This all may be academic if you don't have access to the original photo or a scanner capable of scanning it to a sufficient resolution. As a guide, we usually prefer images with a resolution of approximately 1000x1000 or better (obviously depending on the aspect ratio, but 1000 pixels per dimension is a good start). The more, the better, really. Diliff 19:42, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for taking the trouble to find and upload the original versions of the picture. Please could you add license tags to them please (presumably they're GFDL as that is how you licensed the cut-down version). I'd hate to see the images deleted again because of this. Thanks, Thryduulf 10:19, 7 December 2005 (UTC) Sorry to keep bothering you regarding this image, but a question has been asked at the FPC page for the image regarding the girl in the picture. Please could you confirm whether you are the parent/guardian of the girl (or have permission to upload the photo from the girl/her parent(s)/guardian(s)/some other way). Thanks. Thryduulf 10:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Sources for Stephen Dixon
Hello, good work on Stephen Dixon, and thanks for the contribution. However, you did not any references to the article. Keeping Wikipedia accurate and verifiable is very important, and as you might be aware there is currently a push to encourage editors to cite the sources they used when adding content. From what websites, books, or other places did you learn the information that you added to Stephen Dixon? Would it be possible for you to mention them in the article? You can simply add links, or see WP:CITET if you wish to review some of the different citation methods. Thanks! — BRIAN 0918 • 2005-12-4 21:18
 * All you would have to do is create a "References" section and list all the links you used in the creation of that article. -- BRIAN 0918  21:29, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * You can call it a "sources" section. The point is only to cite where your information came from. -- BRIAN 0918  21:38, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
 * We are not an academic institution. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia that anyone can edit, or vandalize, if they choose. This is why sources are important, to be able to verify the content on pages. You're making this out to be much too big of a deal. -- BRIAN 0918  22:51, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

That gallery...
I have asked that user to remove the gallery. However, as this user is editing only sporadically, I'm less than confident that he or she will comply with my request. I'll keep an eye on it. (BTW, in reference to the "Recht am eigenen Bild": I wasn't trying to be a legalistic nitpicker, and I certainly didn't want to offend you. But it's precisely this kind of (ab-)uses that made me raise the point.) Lupo 13:09, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Could you please remove the image gallery at User:Nymph/girls? In combination with your user name (think nymphet) it is most unfortunate. Lupo 13:02, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps I should rephrase my comment -- although some users may disapprove of a gallery of young girls by a user with the name "Nymph", he is not insinuating or endorsing illegal activity. As such, I feel that he is within his own right to maintain or remove the gallery at his own will. &#126; MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 05:49, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * No need for personal attacks; I didn't think I'd be seen as butting in. I only meant to point out that an image gallery of girls is not in-and-of-itself distasteful. &#126; MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 05:42, 11 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I've rephrased my comment on User talk:Nymph. Also, I'm not sure if you were offended at my leaving a comment on the user page, or at the substance of my comment. I saw my comment as being a response to a discussion, much like what you left in response to Lupo's comment. &#126; MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 05:53, 11 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi KF. Sorry to leave multiple comments, but your note on my talk page just really bothers me. I don't want to be viewed as a pedophile, and I don't want you or anyone else thinking I'm a sicko. I knew that I was stepping into delicate territory when I left that comment on Nymph's talk page, but I stand by my claim that he has the right to display that gallery. I was not using his talk page to communicate strictly with him, but to present my viewpoint in contrast to yours and Lupo's. Perhaps that is a misuse of his discussion page, and if it is, I apologize (although I don't believe it was, I will research it furthur to be sure). Perhaps there is a better spot to discuss the content of his user page? In any case, please respond and let me know what you think. Hopefully what I've just written clears things up, but if it doesn't, I want to make sure that I've been able to explain myself. &#126; MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 06:37, 11 December 2005 (UTC)


 * Hi again, and thanks for your three messages. It seems to me that you see this matter far too legistically, and that alone is what made me slightly mad. To continue viewing things from that angle, everyone in their right mind will agree that you, just as any other contributor, have all the right in the world to add what you added to someone's talk page. Of course there is no "misuse" whatsoever. Similarly, everyone will agree that a collection of harmless images does not violate any laws, rules, regulations or whatever.


 * This is exactly what requests are all about: You ask someone to do something for you, while at the same time you know you are not entitled to that help or service. Just as on a crowded train: You ask someone to give up their seat for you. If they refuse, there is nothing you can do about it, whether their refusal seems justified or not. Or imagine a phone-in radio show: You call the station and request a particular song to be played, but if they choose not to there is no way you could sue them. IANAL, but it seems obvious that a request is not a contract where two parties agree to do something for their mutual benefit.


 * This is where you as the third party come in. Imagine yourself as another person on that crowded train standing next to the one asking someone if they may sit down. Before either can react, you tell them that the one who is sitting has no legal obligation to give up their seat and, by doing so, encourage them to remain seated. I don't imagine you do that sort of thing when you are using public means of transport.


 * Again, this is not a question of having a right; it's a question of exercising it or deliberately refraining from doing so. It is a moral rather than a legal question. It is to do with conventions in our society, not laws.


 * And by the way, I have yet to come across any paedophiles here at Wikipedia.


 * Have a nice Sunday, and all the best, &lt;KF&gt; 12:17, 11 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean, and I apologize. I think now that I was out of place. &#126; MDD4696 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Your edit is what made me notice the blue link. :) I will try to rewrite the article and will keep working on the topic. I did Café Josty from Berlin a few weeks ago. What other cafes are deserving of articles? It might be interesting also to write about some lost, historical ones -- perhaps mentioned in the book -- that aren't lucrative businesses today. I don't really enjoy writing articles that can function as advertising for other people... ;) Tfine80 21:57, 13 December 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject:Novels
Is this project dormant at the moment? I'd be interested in getting it started again, although my goal is slightly different - getting more articles on novels and novelists filled out with content is a higher priority to me than standardizing formats, although the latter goal is important as well. I'd like to hear your thoughts and whether you had any interest the first time around. Thanks. | Klaw ¡digame! 15:56, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
 * That looks good to me. I put my entry on What_I_am_reading_at_the_moment to get that page started. I also agree wholeheartedly with your priorities list. I think perhaps a "suggested reading" list that includes novels that either have no entries or have stubs would be useful as well - sort of an informal, rolling list of books. I'll put my name on the project page as well as a member. Keep me posted. | Klaw ¡digame! 23:27, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Tatara deletion
Hi! It looked to be a copyvio'd text dump, complete with an interview. As far as the deletion itself is concerned, I used a new tool another user wrote that speeds up the deletion process somewhat. Hope this helps. :) - Lucky 6.9 02:24, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

All is not lost, my friend. If you'd like, merely recreate the article in your own words less the interview transcript. It's just that something that looks as much as a cut-and-paste as this did would have been picked off by another admin before long anyway. Good luck! - Lucky 6.9 02:35, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Actually, articles about gaming websites are generally "shot on sight," especially when it's about one as new as this. They rarely if ever survive AfD. There's more over at WP:NOT. I appreciate your concern, though. - Lucky 6.9 02:49, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Flor de Caña
No problem, bro! Im always here to help shall you need heklp on anything else. Don't hesitate!

The person who wrote the article seems to be a native Spanish speaker, like me. From experience I can tell you that, although 15 years in the good ol' USA have helped me polish my English and my knowledge of the slangs, before I came here, I used to say things in English the same way in which I'd say them in Spanish, thinking they still would make sense in English..(lol) This seems to be the article writer's case, although I have to admit, his addition was a valuable one; I for one had never heard of that brand.

Thank you once again and God bless you!

Sincerely yours, Antonio Generation W(ikipedia) Martin

New drama
Yes, you're right, I have been a bit haphazard about it. I started adding this section when I was working on the 17th century and I noticed that most of the literature was, in fact, plays. So rather than writing (play) after the titles, I started creating a new section. But I didn't immediately start adding them to the later years. More recently I've been looking at the lists of dramatists and plays and adding the plays that are actually mentioned somewhere within wikipedia. I've done most of the best-known ones, but there are still quite a few around.

I think the "new books" sections were originally created by someone from a list of old novels and melodramas, as the ones for the older years are distinctly less well-known than the ones listed under recent years. Because I'd created drama sections, I thought maybe separate sections for poetry and non-fiction would also be a good idea, and less confusing for users, so where I've spotted non-fiction and poetry in among the "new books" sections, I've moved it to a section of its own. There didn't seem to be much activity on those pages, so I felt it would be a good thing to lead the way. (I did something similar with the sections on the "years in music" pages a while ago.) So if you'd like to jump in, please feel free. Deb 17:47, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

I just want to inform you that the article List of anti-heroes was deleted today after being listed on VfD. I am not sure if you knew it was listed or not, or if you care or not. I felt, since you had participated as a contributor on the article that you should know. If you want to know more about the status of the now deleted article, I have made a post in Deletion review.

Responses
Hello! Thanks for your message on my talk page.


 * 1) Well, I guess at least for me, I check the entire page history myself, even if it's a really long history or blatant vandalism. There were a few times where I got tricked by a few sneaky vandals. I remember there was someplace on Wikipedia I read which recommended this practice, but I cannot find it at the moment.
 * Oh, I see! I mistakenly thought you wrote the article!
 * 1) Yes, you're right, the article was never deleted.
 * 2) I had no idea you were a sysop, so with this incorrect assumption, it meant you could not undelete pages.

In fact, it seems you have been here for a long time - is this the first time I have been on your talk page? I'm very glad to have met you :-) --HappyCamper 18:43, 7 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi again! I agree with you to some extent too :-) -- for me, I find the most rewarding part of Wikipedia is writing about topics I am familiar with (see the templates on my user page to get an idea of my current interests), and also helping out new users. This page is quite fun to maintain, and so is this one - many of the participants on these pages end up being good contributors, I find. Anyway, nice meeting you, and I'll see you around! --HappyCamper 00:27, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

Your long-unnoticed question to me
About 18 months ago you asked a question at Talk:List of people by name: Ande about the heading "Anderso", which i became aware of only in the last few hours. Do you still have the same question? It deserved an answer then, and if you have a question about it now, it deserves one now. Sorry for the delay! --Jerzy•t 00:26, 10 January 2006 (UTC) "Curious or furious", i like that, and i doubt i've ever managed its like auf Deutsch; it's embarrassing being around real bilinguals. Whichever applied, it was a good question to ask, and in no sense a dumb question; i didn't arrive at my current answer analytically, but by trying out less compulsive, uh, detailed or gründliche approaches, and watching what editors making additions did near them, in response to them. I suspect "Anderso" is close to being the "other side of the coin" re List of people by name: name Ho, tho i resist being quite that analytical. But i'm rattling on. Thanks. --Jerzy•t 01:21, 10 January 2006 (UTC) I meant to reassure you abt the user who reiterated your question: i checked contribs, and they had maybe a dozen contribs total, in the course of a day or three, so it seems unlikely they are waiting for a response. (Of course, i may have bit a newbie, who went away as a result.) --Jerzy•t 03:05, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Test.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Test.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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.

<blockquote style="padding: 1em; border: 2px dotted orange;"> Hi, and thanks for your multiple messages. I've said this at least a hundred times in answer to queries such as yours, and okay, I'm going to say it again: (1) I uploaded the images you are referring to back in 2002. In those days, Wikipedia tags had not yet been invented, and no one was asked to cite any sources. If there had been any such requirements, I would have fulfilled them to the best of my knowledge. (2) In the course of the following years, I tried to update the image descriptions by adding the appropriate tags, but as the text within these image tags is continuously being changed the descriptions again and again turned out to be inadequate. For example, an image such as Image:Haider in Carinthia.jpg, a promotional photo (I even said so in the caption on the Jörg Haider page) taken from the FPÖ web site&mdash;back then, Haider is no longer a member of the FPÖ&mdash;, has been able to pass for a fair use image for more than three years; now suddenly all this is no longer valid. But what on earth could I do about it now? (3) A photographer from Vienna, Conny de Beauclair, has a web site with thousands of his own images from the last 20 years. He seems to enjoy the wide circulation of his (free) images, and I e-mailed him just to make sure. I uploaded three of his pictures for Wikipedia, two of which&mdash;Waris Dirie's and Franz Antel's&mdash;have again been removed, the former as a "possible (?!?) copyright violation", the latter without any comment. The third one is Kurt Waldheim's, which, all of a sudden, is contentious, too. Again: What can I do other than stop uploading images altogether? (4) I very much appreciate the idea of a collaborative effort, but my idea does not include working against each other. This has been happening for years now, especially on the actors' and actresses' pages: User A (me, for example) uploads a "safe" image (an old publicity still&mdash;for example of Lauren Bacall&mdash;or a screenshot), and then User B (in many cases a newbie) comes along, deletes the image and replaces it with a "better" picture, which is copyrighted and removed again within days. In the meantime, the original picture is gone of course and can no longer be retrieved. (5) The past has shown that I never seem to be able to choose the "right" tag for an image I uploaded, so I'm not going to try again. If you can't find a tag yourself and you think it's necessary or if it makes you happy, please delete all those images. &lt;KF&gt; 09:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Image:Haider in Carinthia.jpg
 * Image:K Waldheim.jpg
 * Image:Miller&Monroe.jpg
 * I'm sorry that you feel harassed about images, but whether it's by me or someone else, these images will be brought up to current standards. It's just like an article, it's not just uploaded and forgotten about. So here's some tips on how you can better deal with other images. Remember if you bring all the images you uploaded to current standards, then you won't have people bothering you about it.
 * For point 2), I've updated that image with the {promophoto} tag and put the source of the image on the image description page. If you had done this yourself instead of just leaving a message on my talk page, you could better avoid having people ask you again about that image in the future.
 * For point 3), I asked you to provide a fair use rationale on the image description page (note that this is expected of all fair use images now), I've provided the rationale and removed the disputed tag, in the future, it's better to put the rationales on the image pages so that people reviewing images for copyvio see the rationale.
 * For point 4), I'm sorry that you feel that I'm working against you. Keep in mind that wikipedia is a dynamic and changing site. Not only do the articles change over time (the images you upload today may be replaced in the future with better ones) but also the policy is changing. I think that the best approach is to consider all contributions to be temporary, and to not be attached to anything. If you need help with tagging other images (or anything else on WP), feel free to let me know and I'll try to help as much as I can. Thanks for your contributions, Matt 16:03, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Thanks for contacting me. Actually, I am sick and tired of getting the kind of message you sent me (just look at my talk page!), of the type which seems to be churned out without any consideration for the individual image it is being applied to.


 * Only yesterday some silly joker removed the source information that had been provided by me from the Ellen Glasgow image. When I uploaded that picture years ago, I even wrote an e-mail to ask for permission, and got it. What more do you want me to do?


 * This is not the first time this has happened to me&mdash;see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Test.jpg&action=history and User_talk:Admrboltz/Archive2; so please bear in mind that there isn't just the blatant vandalism on the Hitler, Israel, LDS and Angelina Jolie pages but also the more subtle one with which, for whatever reason, intellectually challenged people kill their time.


 * All the best, &lt;KF&gt; 22:43, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't know whether to feel good that you were able to revert the image description, or stupid for not checking the image history more closely. While I am often intellectually challenged ;) my guess is that unless you put a tag on it,  Ellen Glasgow image will show up in some future untagged image list.  I don't know if copyrighted will do the trick or not.  While the tag is deprecated, the image should be grandfathered by the upload date.  Does putting the gist of your exchange with the image source/owner on the image talk page make any sense?  Maybe not. Churningly yours, Dethomas 23:01, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, I'm at a loss here. "Older images with this template ("copyrighted") will be considered for deletion" it says, so there isn't any point in using that tag. I hardly ever choose the right one it seems. On the other hand, there must be thousands of images similar to that of Ellen Glasgow on Wikipedia pages which get away with their tags. I'll have a look around and see what the choices are, but I'm not promising anything. Bye for now, &lt;KF&gt; 23:12, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Intensity (disambiguation)
Sorry for the confusion. What I was alluding to in my edit comment was that the previous edit wasn't in accord with the style guide because it had piped the link to intensity (novel) to the ambiguous "Intensity", and had a period at the end of the entry. I didn't simply revert&mdash;I did keep the change in the link to Dean Koontz. Removing the red link while I was at it was a judgement call. The novel is ten years old. If someone hasn't made a page on it by now, it may well not be notable enough to merit a page of its own.

To answer your other questions:
 * I don't know that you aren't confident that an article could be written on that novel. If you do feel that way, add the link back. I won't remove it again. I probably wouldn't have removed it the first time if the format of the entry was otherwise OK. It was more of a "while I'm at it" thing. If you do add it back, either put it in unpiped, or use " Intensity (novel) ". The latter keeps the display in the form of the actual page name, but uses piping just to get the title of the book in italics.
 * Users looking for an article on the novel should not use a red link on a disambiguation page as evidence that it doesn't exist yet! I assume you have checked all the possibilities, but you may create the link today and next week someone might create the article Intensity (book). People looking at the disambiguation page would then be misled to think that the article doesn't exist yet. This isn't a big deal&mdash;it's just that a red link is not clearly better than just having a link to the author's article, since if an article is created, it's likely to be linked from there.--Srleffler 01:33, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Moved page
Hello. I recently moved the "List of American poets" to List of poets from the United States, to avoid the US-centric idea that "US" and "America" are synonymous. I am a US citizen, so the move was a disinterested one, not a judgmental one. Perhaps you might want to link to the current page on your "For future reference" subpage, instead of a redirect which may be eventually deleted. Happy editing! --Cromwellt|Talk 01:42, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

John Lobb
Hi, I saw that you put a picture in the article Shoe and I wonder if you would know where I can find info (and pictures) on the shoemakers John Lobb? From the official page? Or...?--Bjankuloski06en 05:56, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Hester Prynne.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Hester Prynne.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified 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 media 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 qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then 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 media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, 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 unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. feydey 00:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading...
..and getting back to me with a nice answer, after reading I'd concur with Matt's answer on this. It's a pitty those old uploads of Yours don't have sources. I hope You understand that un-sourced images will be deleted from WP eventually. Well, ce la vie, feydey 19:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
