Yes. I'm in the latest Firefox. I don't remember if I checked it in IE too. It definitely looks different. I don't know why. I'll have to check the HTML code that it puts out. &mdash; BRIAN 0918 &bull; 2006-06-14 02:56

Thanks for the cats! {**purrrrrrr**}
Oh, it's so nice to see someone helping with (or even evidence of having looked at :-) the rather rudimentary new page I put up yesterday. It was made more difficult by the fact that I only had the Hebrew edition at hand, which meant I had to translate or transliterate everything, besides confirming names (people, institutions) for internal links. Still, it was worth it -- I'd just gotten so tired of seeing the Encyclopaedia of the Holocaust as a redlink every time I typed it in a reference or "further reading" citation. Next week at the library, I'll fill in what's missing.

Meanwhile, I really appreciate your adding categories. That's something with which I have, as yet, only limited familiarity. Something else for my "Wikipedia Editing 101" list... ''Thanks! -- Deborahjay 13:45, 16 June 2006 (UTC)''

New York towns
How do you suggest sorting out and all the similar pages? --SPUI (T - C) 07:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Great job misrepresenting my position - I'm not saying we should "pretend the towns and villages are the same thing". I think the articles should start off "Foo is a town in New York, containing a village with the same name." There would be a section about the census stats, separated by town and village. There would be general information about the town and village, some talking about both and some about one or the other.

A possible alternate solution would be to move the village to the undisambiguated title, as it is typically the center of population of the town. Then we at least have a default to link to. But the current "solution" just doesn't work. --SPUI (T - C) 07:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

However, the village is a lot smaller in area and has a defined "town center". Is there a New York WikiProject? --SPUI (T - C) 08:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Merge of Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Lowell Tucker
Hey Pharos, just wanted to ask for your clarification on Talk:Kristian Menchaca. You said Yes, I see now reason they shouldn't be merged into Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Lowell Tucker. Did you mean "I see no reason"? "Now" instead of "no" seems to change the meaning of the sentence, so I wanted to be clear. Thanks! TomTheHand 13:46, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey Pharos, long time no type. It seems our paths have crossed again over at Talk:South Brooklyn. Just wanted to thank you for stepping in and helping me mediate. Take care. --Howrealisreal 14:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Image:Unisphere-cc.jpg
Hi. I have tagged the following photos as no source:
 * Image:Grand Army Plaza Victory.jpg
 * Image:Grand Army Plaza Herald.jpg
 * Image:Image-Grand Army Plaza Herald experimental.jpg
 * Image:Image-Grand Army Plaza Herald 2.jpg

Unless the artist has been dead for 70 years, one may not photograph a piece of art and use a free license. Please see Commons:Derivative works. Do you know the name (or the date of death) of the artist? Kjetil_r 02:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi again, I notice that you have removed the “no source” templates. You write that thay are “public monuments”, but AFAIK, the US copyright law only divides between architecture and art. Public architecture is ok to photograph, public art is not (there are many pieces of public art in the US up for deletion now at COM:DEL, see also User:Alx/Sandbox#USA). I can agree to that The Unisphere may be architecture and thus ok, but these four images can not IMO be called architecture.
 * You also write that “nothing created before 1923 in the US is copyrighted” - if so, you should anyway state the name of the artist and the year that the statue was created. Kjetil_r 13:04, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Belt regions of the United States
Do you have sources for your rewrite of the intro, specifically the part saying that the usage was first for agrictulre (e.g., cotton belt) rather than sociological (e.g., Bible belt)? I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious about what historian might have studied this. - DavidWBrooks 14:10, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Populist Party of Maryland.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Populist Party of Maryland.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. —Bkell (talk) 01:25, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Giovanni da Verrazzzzzzano
The problem is that "Verrazano" is wrong, and sounds ridiculous to an Italian... and Verrazzano was Italian, isn't he? Shakespeare was called "Scespirio" in Italy some times ago, but nobody uses this forms today.... Probably the article must be moved to Giovanni da Verrazzano. Please don't remove the redirects I've done. Let me know and good work! --Attilios 09:00, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What is you say is reasonable. But I've found THE source that will definitively confirm my view... if you check Encyclopedia Britannica, you will find the navigator called exactly as Giovanni da Verrazzano, while the bridge is effectively cited as Verrazano. So probably the form by which he is best known is one, but the correct one is different also in English. Let me know. --Attilios 09:10, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This Encyclopedia is written in English, but it is not the Encyclopedia of English-speaking people. That's a subtle difference... "Verazano" may be the most common variant for people of English mother tongue (but I doubt that is true only for US-Canada people who knows the famous bridge), but for ALL other users in the world using this encyclopedia as reference we must give them the "correct" version. --Attilios 10:04, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Folk school
Hi. Thanks for your answer. As I did so you suggested --15:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC), could you please check out the text ; I'm aware of a en-3 only level about my fluency. I also tried a sentence there but I'm quite sure it's not properly written so I daren't publish it in that form. Yet, the idea is there (it is highlighted in bold caps).

Regards,

The Lilliputian.

re:DYK
Yes, but he did it in a rather... strange way, so I had to revert.  Grue  17:32, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Language template
Hi Pharos. Are you aware of Brian0918 and Raul's renewed attempt to cut languages from the Main Page language template? There is a discussion at Talk:Main Page that you might want to add your thoughts to. Best, Tfine80 15:37, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Pharos of Alexandria1.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Pharos of Alexandria1.jpg. 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. BigDT 00:56, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Forgotten biographies bounty
I think that the recently promoted Theramenes qualifies for the George Psalmanazar Prize bounty that you offered. A German biography of the subject was published in 1949, but I believe that no other biographies have been written. Let me know if it meets the criteria. --RobthTalk 19:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

just a note
Hi Pharos, I've gotten re-involved in updating items on the Main Page recently and have been thinking "Doesn't Pharos normally do all this stuff?" So I come by to see why you've been slacking off so horribly and see that I am just out of the loop. ;) I hope that you are enjoying your break and come back refreshed.  - BanyanTree 16:14, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
