I think the image should be reverse(top-below) according to Chinese tradition. see Bagua. And File:Voute_celeste_chinoise-xiu28xiang4.png also have this problem.--Keyi 00:48, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Mysid! I've submitted Simone de Beauvoir Prize at the Did you know nominations page. They liked the hook but there is still some issues regarding length of the article. Since the Simone de Beauvoir Prize is a Feminist related article and since you are active in that field, I thought you might want to help us, expanding the article as soon as possible so it could qualify to be on the first page of en.wikipedia. btw here is the. Thanks --Kaaveh (talk) 11:46, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll see what I can do to improve it. ›mys id (☎∆✎) 13:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for tracking down and fixing the issue with the Ring Rail Line article and its map! —Sladen (talk) 18:15, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. The video is freely available on You tube at this link.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RM9o4VnfHJU So I think the file is free under fair use. —Preceding unsigned comment added by M.aly (talk • contribs) 11:48, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Regarding your Conscription map of the world
I would like to point out that Indonesia does not exercise conscription. The citation from this source states 18 years of age for selective compulsory and voluntary military service;. This means that by law the government has the right to draft people to the military selectively, but this is not practised at this present time as there is no need for it. I hope you would update the map, thanks. -- Hamster   X  17:45, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi :-) I am Evgeniy :-) Thank you very much, for NeXT vectorized logo :-) I am happy :-) I love NeXT Computers and NeXTSTEP/ GNUstep, Objective-C, ..., SunMicrosystems, AIX, IRIX, GNU/Linux, QNX, *BSD :-) and MacOS/X, but its not original NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP really, sorry for this. All the best for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Xemv (talk • contribs) 14:43, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Kuinka voit?
It's been a while. I've been too inactive around here to have any clue what's going on. Sooo...what's new in the 'pedia lately?

Cheers,  21655  ταλκ / 01ҁ 20:55, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

PS: You're Aspergian as well? PPS: In case you forgot, we used to chat a lot on IRC.
 * Hi! Voin ihan hyvin. I don't think there's much new, I've just been editing casually and adding SVGs. Well, the license is about to change from GFDL to a GFDL/CC-BY-SA double license. PS. Yes. PPS. I didn't forget. ›mys id (☎∆✎) 17:09, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Same here. I've only been doing the occasional correction or grammar fix, as I'm taking a nice long anti-vandal break.
 * GFDL confuses me; CC makes more sense to me. But wait, is it just your files or WP as a whole?
 * Good that you didn't forget! Heheheh. We should keep in touch, definitely. I'll email you later.
 * Cheers,  21655  ταλκ / 01ҁ 17:21, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * PS: So am I. I suppose that explains, to some extent, our perfect English, huh? XD
 * PPS: Wow, you know Swedish as well? Do they teach that in Finland? (Also, did you get my email?)
 * Yes, Swedish is an official language of Finland (see Languages of Finland and Finland Swedish). It's part of the compulsory curriculum in all schools. ›<font color="#ff1ee7">mys <font color="#a21eff">id (☎∆✎) 18:50, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, interesting. I wonder why Norway's languages aren't shared as well. And for that matter, there are two types of Norwegian!
 * Reading adventure ahoy, I suppose.  21655  ταλκ / 01ҁ 19:39, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It's WP as a whole; currently the text is under GFDL, it will change to GFDL+CC. The files will, I suppose, stay under whatever license they're released. (Yes, I got your email and added you on MSN.) ›<font color="#ff1ee7">mys <font color="#a21eff">id (☎∆✎) 23:19, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Can you point me to the news article or proposal where this was decided? I want to see for myself why exactly they're doing it. (Good, good, but I just found out the problem: we live seven hours apart, and I leave school at 3:00...best to use email, eh?)  21655  ταλκ / 01ҁ 18:09, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Found it. I have a strange habit of not noticing giant banners like those. (PS: I just translated "Voin ihan hyvin" in Google. I got the gist of the result, but I didn't know Engrish could result from languages other than Japanese!)  21655  ταλκ / 01ҁ 17:19, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

topro webcam in linux
Hello, Mysid.

I just read your post here and since I happen to have the same webcam (and started using Linux recently), I thought I'd ask you whether you got any progress on that. If you want some help/motivation on the reverse-engineering thing, I'd be glad to help! --Waldir talk 21:02, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm sorry I didn't get any progress at all. I finally opened the webcam to look for info about the chipset and such – I managed to short something and the webcam was destroyed for good... Next time I'll look for drivers before buying. :) ›<font color="#ff1ee7">mys <font color="#a21eff">id (☎∆✎) 19:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * If it was like mine, it didn't cost much anyway :) Still, with experiencies like this, one can help but admire guys like Michel Xhaard :D --Waldir talk 21:50, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it cost about €10. (I even wrote to Topro about the specs for the chipset, twice, but they wouldn't reply.) ›<font color="#ff1ee7">mys <font color="#a21eff">id (☎∆✎) 21:56, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I would like to use your great File:Topographic map of Svalbard.svg (after some minor changes) on web site of my vessel - please tell me how should I attribute you - as "user Mysid @ Wikimedia Commons" or by name (what name?)? Best regards Upior polnocy (talk) 07:28, 20 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello.
Hello, Mysid, great work on vectorizing flags, and such. I have one little request here for you. Could you vectorize the flag below, use a brighter shade of yellow for the middle field, and upload it to Commons for me? Thanks in advance. Any problems, let me know.

File:Burnaby, BC flag.jpg


 * Is there any info about its license? And what is it based on? ›<font color="#ff1ee7">mys <font color="#a21eff">id (☎∆✎) 22:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It is PD, from what I know. What do you mean by 'based on'? Connormah (talk) 22:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sadly, Canadian municipal flags are usually copyrighted and I can't make a freely licensed derivative work of such an image. By "based on" I meant a source stating that it is indeed PD. ›<font color="#ff1ee7">mys <font color="#a21eff">id (☎∆✎) 12:37, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you not make a copyrighted derivative? Connormah (talk) 16:45, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * As stated in Commons:Derivative works, "Unless you have authorization from the copyright holder [--] do not upload works derived from other copyrighted works onto Commons, or they will be deleted.". (I could, of course, upload it on Wikipedia under fair use.) ›<font color="#ff1ee7">mys <font color="#a21eff">id (☎∆✎) 18:50, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you do that? It'd be just plain awesome. Connormah (talk) 21:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
 * So, what's the deal? Connormah (talk) 04:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Mysid. There is a problem with your structure (letters display incorrectly). Can you please upload a new version? Thanks. --Leyo 15:13, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I just found new information. In this map, Chile have a compulsory military system But Chile dosen't have a enforcing conscription. It's Voluntary.

 ->18-45 years of age for voluntary male and female military service, although the right to compulsory recruitment is retained; service obligation - 12 months for Army, 22 months for Navy and Air Force (2008) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.117.114.168 (talk) 13:18, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
