User talk:Lunchboxhero

Hello Lunchboxhero, welcome to Wikipedia.

I noticed your comment at Talk:Ferdinand Tönnies. You are right. I don't know what I was thinking when I took the links out. Thanks for putting them back in. I look forward to seeing your articles on them.

Here are some useful links in case you haven't already found them;

If you have any questions, see the help pages or add a question to the village pump. Angela 17:42, 9 Sep 2003 (EDT)

Critical theory vs. social theory
Sorry, I'm not that informed about social theory. From what I read in you entry on the sociology page, it looked much like an entry about critical theory would look, so I thought that one was a subset of the other. Frankfurt school should be linked somewhere on the sociology page, maybe there is a better place. -- till we *) 17:34, Sep 13, 2003 (UTC)

Gouti
Thank you for bringing my attention to this. He's doing the same thing on the French Wikipedia too! w:fr:Special:Contributions/64.219.196.194. I have told them about it, and listed the page on VfD here.

I see you added Woodlawn to Chicago as a neighborhood. While there is a nearby town with that name, I don't think that there is a neighborhood by that name in the city itself. Also, the link you created leads to an ambiguous page. JMD 03:41, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)

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

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


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

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

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

Community maps
Hi, I'm working on the image tagging project and I've come across a few map of yours like woodlawn.png, that have no copyright infomration. If you made them and want to put them in the public domain or licence them for use under the GFDL, could you please tag them with one of the following or , I've marked them as unverified for the time being. Thanks --nixie 01:24, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Symbolwiki
I noticed you had an edit on the symbolwiki article. The concept of symbolwiki is dear to my heart. Thankfully, such a symbol system already exists, though has very little internet presence thus far. However, it is not defunct, just no font. Check out Blissymbolics if you get a chance. --Mlandau 05:55, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Vegetable oils
I like the additions to the vegetable oils article, but could you provide some sources, please? Thanks! Waitak 07:28, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

I'm interested in seeing the sources too. For example, where did you find the number that there are 11B L of WVO created every year? Nickhj

I merged content from Waste Vegetable Oil, but have no references for that information.

Thank you for starting the article. It has been on my list for quite some time.--Rockero 00:11, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:You Got to Move 1985.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:You Got to Move 1985.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any 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. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Image source problem with Image:Word is Out 1977.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Word is Out 1977.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, 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, 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 tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 03:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

CfD nomination of Category:Wiki
I have nominated wiki for merging into wikis. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. The Evil Spartan (talk) 08:52, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

book sources
There a problem with the code for your booksources.jpg page--it goes by default to a commercial bookseller. the books sources page was set up specifically to avoid that. See the talk page there, and my comment at Wikipedia talk:Spam. You should be able to fix it easily enough. So should I, but better that you do it. DGG (talk) 00:49, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

ISBN lookup
My ISBN lookup suddenly isn't working (it's been fine for six months, and in the last day or so it's broke). I go to the default Wikipedia Booksources page every time. I've tried clearing my cache, with no luck. Any idea what's wrong? My monobook.js is here. Cheers! – Scartol  •  Tok  01:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * At least two other people have the same problem—see User talk:Lunchboxhero/monobook.js. --zenohockey (talk) 05:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * And one more: Village pump (technical). --zenohockey (talk) 05:38, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed the problem, see User talk:Lunchboxhero/monobook.js.

Lunchboxhero (talk) 03:58, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Just a pointer, that I've added a new subthread at User talk:Lunchboxhero/monobook.js (plus it seems to still not be working?). Thanks. :) -- Quiddity (talk) 01:25, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

It's working just fine for me now, and I wanted to thank you for working on this handy little tool. Have a donut. Scartol •  Tok  01:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

adding js pages under your profile
I noticed you added a script externISBN.js under your profile. The path is User:Lunchboxhero/externISBN.js. How did you do that? thanks, Harry DarkStarHarry (talk) 17:34, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Same way you create any page in wikipedia, go to to the URL. If you wanted to do something similar, go to User:DarkStarHarry/script.js

Lunchboxhero (talk) 14:46, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Help with JavaScript debugging?
I have a script similar to your externISBN script at this location -> User:DarkStarHarry/externMapCoords.js It takes coordinates and redirects them to the Mapping website of the user's choice.

The monobook contains these two lines:

var map_source_URL = "http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=MAGICNUMBER&spn=0.1,0.1&t=m&q=MAGICNUMBER";

importScript('User:DarkStarHarry/externMapCoords.js');

Can you help me debug? I'm stumped.

thanks, Harry DarkStarHarry (talk) 19:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

ISBN associate
Hi. I was wondering if you ever got a reply (or further info) about User talk:Jimbo Wales/Archive 47? Perhaps offwiki? I was just updating a thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject User scripts/Scripts/Set Book Source, and wondering. Thanks. -- Quiddity (talk) 20:20, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Nope. I don't think I ever caught his attention on his talk page. Lunchboxhero (talk) 02:19, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Better compatibility with other languages
Hi!

I was wondering if you could change the test wich is made by your script externISBN.js so that it works also for other Wikimedia wikis (not only English).

Currently it tests the href against the regex  to know if a link is a ISBN link.

Looking at the source code of a link at pt.wikibooks I see a code like this So, maybe the script could test if the class of a link has mw-magiclink-isbn and then extract the ISBN from the end of the href... What do you think? Helder (talk) 02:03, 12 May 2010 (UTC)


 * I think this is a great idea, and I already coded up something that will work here: User:Lunchboxhero/externISBNtest.js. Unfortunately, the very common cite book template doesn't use the mw-magiclink-isbn class in the ISBN links it produces. If you get the authors of that template to fix this, I'll push the version of my script that does what you want.

File copyright problem with File:Ajsasrimpact.png
Thank you for uploading File:Ajsasrimpact.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log].

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 09:48, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Woodlawn.png
Thank you for uploading File:Woodlawn.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 14:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:20, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Non-Free rationale for File:Ivanillich.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Ivanillich.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under Non-Free content criteria but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a Non-Free rationale.

If you have uploaded other Non-Free media, consider checking that you have specified the Non-Free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:52, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for your help
Please take a look at project:WikiProject User scripts/Requests. I do not understand much JavaScript but I managed to achieve half of what I wanted. Maybe you may help me to implement the whole idea. Best regards and greetings from Munich Germany.
