re: Maps for the Rambot articles
I've been generating those individually by myself. There's nothing fancy to it; I just take the county maps which already existed (they were generated from a public domain source), and use a simple image-editing program to place the dots in the correct place based upon Mapquest maps. Once I'm able to buy my laptop back, I'll be at that project again full force. I'm hoping that should be within the next few weeks.

One thing about New England states, though, is that towns tend to be space-filling up there. I don't know if that's the case in Connecticut. If it is, something more in line with the Vermont town maps generated by User:Redjar (see, for instance Addison, Vermont) might be appropriate. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. I'm probably going to steer clear of doing New England town for a while because of precisely such complications. -- Seth Ilys 23:17, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

Auto diagrams
Thanks for the compliments on my auto diagrams! I have sort of gone nuts with the detail, which I am starting to regret, because now I'm not entirely sure how to clearly render that detail. After creating the engine block and pistons, I had to spend a couple more hours tweaking the model in order to show what's actually going on. That power steering unit is fairly complete, but damned if I know how to show the inside of it so that people can understand how it works. Anyhow, I'm glad you like them. There is an animation of Four-stroke cycle, by the way (linked next to the image captions). -- Wapcaplet 21:29, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

List of emergency special sessions of the United Nations General Assembly
Thanks for compiling this list! - I was planning on doing it myself, but you beat me to it :D. Did you manually research everything yourself? Or did you use a particular source? I am planning on doing on of these for the non-emergency special sessions - and eventually all of the standard sessions... I will be greatful for any advice. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 14:16, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Apprentice 2 vfd listings
Hi Plutor. About the separate listing for all the Apprentice 2 contestants, I did that since in the past there have been times when multiple articles were listed together and it caused problems -- people would say "Well, all except A and B" or "All but C" or "Only D" etc. Listing them separately causes its own hassles as you know. Oh well! Wile E. Heresiarch 05:08, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Dot project
I don't think I've ever mentioned this to you, but the source county images for the dot-project have all been multi-licensed by James F. and Wapcaplet into the CC-by license. I am asking all of the dot-project contributors to multi-license their dot-project images under this license as well, which just requires simple permission. Would you be agreeable to doing this? I will use the rambot to update the copyright tags in the same way that it updated the tags in the source county images. Thanks! – Ram-Man (comment) (talk)  21:31, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Map of Connecticut municipalities
Hi,

I'm currently working on this page: U.S. presidential election, 2004, in Connecticut. I wish I could create a map for electoral results at municipality level. Do you have a blank map of municipalities that I could edit ? Thank you.--Revas 21:26, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Ah-ni-ku-ta-ni
When you boldly moved this page, you broke the link from the pagfe to the AfD page. Pleasae fix the link or move it back, This is why pages on AfD are not usually moved until the AfD is over, i think. DES (talk) 16:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

I'm curious; what bad faith motivation, exactly, are you accusing me of holding? - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 17:29, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

First, I want to apologize for accusing you of a bad faith nomination here. It is a serious accusation, and on re-reading it, it's not really what I meant. I should have simply agreed with Starblind's opinion that the repeated nominations are getting a little disruptive to AFD and to the development of the article. Bad faith isn't really something that should be bandied around so callously - especially now that I've had a chance to look at your contributions and user page(s), I'm certain you have the best of intentions. I'm sorry that my disagreement was phrased so indelicately. -- Plutor 17:53, 1 November 2005 (UTC)

I moved this here, per my talkheader, to help keep conversations in one place. Hope you don't mind.

I had a feeling it was something like that, especially since it's easy to misunderstand someone's intent or tendencies just from looking at AFD. No harm done, of course. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 20:23, 1 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I'm glad you're understanding about my faux-pas. I was worried this was going to turn into.. er.. badness.  Incidentally (and maybe ironically), your user page inspired me to join AMW.  I overlook header boxes so frequently that I missed your talk header.  It's a good idea &mdash; I don't like the back-and-forth Talk standard on WP, either, since it makes it hard to follow threads.  I'm considering "being inspired" by that, too. -- Plutor 00:14, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Crossair-hb-akk.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Crossair-hb-akk.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles 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 fair use images 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.

Image:Danbury seal.png
Hello, Plutor. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:Danbury seal.png) was found at the following location: User:Plutor/New Milford (town), Connecticut. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg, so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or    media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 23:36, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:24 Hours in Cyberspace book cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:24 Hours in Cyberspace book cover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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 fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Unspecified source for Image:24 Hours in Cyberspace book cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:24 Hours in Cyberspace book cover.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, then 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, then 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-no-disclaimers 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 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 22:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.Betacommand (talk • contribs • Bot) 22:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Game of Harmony screenshot.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Game of Harmony screenshot.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it 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. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 19:09, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:Vitaminbox
A tag has been placed on Template:Vitaminbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.

If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it is substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (&lt;noinclude>&#123;{transclusionless}}&lt;/noinclude>).

RPI Wikipedia party
Hi there. I'm currently an undergraduate at RPI organizing a little Wikipedia get-together this Thursday from 2-6pm in the Nason classroom. The plan is to both introduce members of the RPI community who already contribute to Wikipedia, and also try and introduce more people to editing. I'm not sure if you're a student here, but if you're around you're welcome to come hang out. Check it out and let me know if you're interested. Thanks. -FrankTobia (talk) 16:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot (talk) 02:52, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hearst tower.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Hearst tower.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. , and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:
 * state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
 * add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Image source problem with File:US-CT-New Fairfield.png
Thank you for uploading File:US-CT-New Fairfield.png.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image".

In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

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

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Crossair-hb-akk.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Crossair-hb-akk.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content.

Proposed deletion of Isaac Asimov's Robot City


The article Isaac Asimov's Robot City has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Inadequate sourcing. GNG not met."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
