Image:Map of the USA highlighting the Inland Empire.gif
The image seems to cause a problem with scaling. Any scaled size is not being displayed. —AldeBaer (c) 14:43, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, I thought you might know. Hm.. this is just a wild guess, but could it have something to do with the GIF format? Let me download the full image, convert it and upload it to the commons. If it doesn't work, I can delete it anytime. -- But first: Looking for copyright info, I noticed you claim to be the copyright holder. Just to rule out possible WP:COPYVIO: Did you really make the entire image yourself / obtain the copyright? —AldeBaer (c) 16:42, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * At the bottom of the image it says "U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE Economics and Statistics Administration U.S. Census Bureau" and "Prepared by the Geography Division (January 2005)". —AldeBaer (c) 16:45, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok, seems I had the right hunch about both issues: The image has been tagged with badgif and no source. —AldeBaer (c) 17:58, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Correction: Image:Map_of_the_USA_highlighting_New_Jersey.gif was tagged. Could you provide source information for Image:U.S. Counties.gif (which you uploaded) - it concerns all derivatives you made. Where did you find that image? —AldeBaer (c) 00:09, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. I just tried to convert the source Image:U.S. Counties.gif to PNG (Image:U.S. Counties.png), but it doesn't seem to work. I then tried converting from indexed colors to RGB, but it leads to a file of about 9 megabyte, and commons prefers file sizes up to some 4.7 megs. —AldeBaer (c) 12:50, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Map of Egypt restored
11-July-2007: The ID "User:Lanternix" (notified) was logged as overwriting an unsourced map image onto a map of Egypt developed by the American CIA, on 19-May-2007 at 1:09 a.m, which has been restored (after 52 days). Map image: Image:Egypt-region-map-cities.gif (view older versions to compare). -Wikid77 06:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Request help with article Ancient Egypt
As you are listed as a member of Wikiproject:AncientEgypt, I'd like to recruit your help in reviewing the article Ancient Egypt. The article is listed as top priority in the Wikiproject and as a vital article by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, but appears to have failed to meet Good Article criteria at its last nomination. The article is in need of some serious attention.

In the past week, I asked for (and got) the article to be semi-protected to protect against the constant barrage of vandalism. This protection lasts for two weeks. I also did a little clean-up, added a map and so on. I would like to see everyone in Wikiproject:AncientEgypt have the chance to add their input to Ancient Egypt, and get the article up to featured status as soon as possible. I believe the article is at least 80% of the way there, and some focused attention will bring it the rest of the way.

The most pressing concerns seem to be the culture/architecture section, and the achievements/unsolved problems sections. Also, the entire article, especially the achievements section, the sources, and external links need to be seriously checked for accuracy. These sections also require a little organization too.

Ancient Egypt ought to be the top priority of Wikiproject:AncientEgypt, and I look forward to working with everyone to get this article cleaned up and hopefully promoted to featured status. Thanks for your help, Jeff Dahl 03:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Patrick. WP:BAH was recently tagged as inactive, although, as I've been doing some BAH-related stuff, I removed the tag. Can we try and get it going again, or do we close it down?--Voxpuppet (talk • contribs) 12:44, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey, great work making those Oregon region maps--they will be very helpful. Unfortunately, I can't help but notice they're a little crooked. Any chance you could rotate them a bit? Katr67 (talk) 21:50, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

AIV reports
Thank you for making a report on Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a recent final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them to the AIV noticeboard again. GlassCobra 22:25, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Rpotd Problem
Just about all of the New York City images were deleted (which were any of the ones by Jbloun1). Templates from December 7th to December 29th were affected (except for templates for the 27th, 25th, 16th, 14th, 13th and the 12th). I'll do my best add an image of the same subject back. -- D tbohrer talk•contribs 04:01, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think it was something about copyvio and how Jbloun1 claimed to hold the copyright for images that were not his own. -- D tbohrer talk•contribs 22:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Invite To WikiProject Saskatchewan Commnunities & Neighbourhoods
I see even though you an American citizen that you have taken an interest in stuff outside of the United States and I would like to welcome you to WikiProject Saskatchewan. But now I would like to invite you to WP:SKCN. This project focuses on the cities, towns, villages, rural municipalities, and Indian reserves that would otherwise get the chance to be started as an article on Wikipedia. Since I noticed on your user page that you are into geography and a member of WikiProject Saskatchewan, I thought I would extend you an invite to WP:SKCN, the WikiProject I created. We look forward to welcoming you to the project if you decide to become a member. Mr. C.C. (talk) 19:25, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Random picture of the day
Hi, I have noticed that you have made many major edits to the Rpotd.

It has been nominated for deletion (at least the template part of it.)

Since I am no longer maintaining it, would it be OK for all of the pages to go into your userspace so we can get it out of template space?

Or do you have any other comments for the TfD?

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks, GM 18:40, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, where do you want me to put the pages? User:Presidentman/potd/Blah? GM 22:03, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

RPOTD
OK, I have created a script to make the moves easier. You just click a link and the move is completed automatically, with the move summary and all.

I can't do the 397 moves myself, so I am just requesting a little help.

The way this works is that I have this page, here that lists all of the pages, and links to the auto-move page. Then, the auto-move script automatically fills in everything and clicks the button. But, that takes browser and server resources, so I am asking if you can help balance the load.

All you need to do is go to your monobook.js and enter: . Then, when you click the "Move" link on the page linked to above, it will automatically complete the move. Also, remember you must clear your browser's cache "Shift + Reload" or "Ctrl + Reload".

For now, I will take the first 50, so you can leave those. I will come back later to do more, so if you do want to help out, then please tell me which ones you plan on doing in your first run so we can coordinate the moves.

You don't have to do this, it would just be nice to be able to balance out the nearly 400 moves.

P.S. When you are done with the script, REMOVE IT FROM YOUR MONOBOOK. It is a MAJOR security risk (because anyone with an external link could force you to move a page.)

Thanks, --GM 19:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Please also note that the best way to do this is to click the middle button on all of the move links to open them in new tabs. (The scrollbar actually functions as another button.) --GM 19:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Nickelodeon Newsletter - September 2008


Nicktropolis a GA candidate The article Nicktropolis is currently a GA candidate. It was nominated on August 14, 2008, and, as of press, is still pending a review. You can review the article, just be neutral when you do. Here's the important links:


 * Article
 * Talk page
 * Good article nominee page

New look You may have noticed some changes around the home page (and the newsletter). WP:NICK is getting a face lift, and so are most aspects of it.

Jonathan and Macy are working on this so far, but we'd love your help! If our code has an issue, or you think a new bit of code will make it look better, feel free to work with it!

Collaboration of the Month Our next collaboration depends on the pending GA review of Nicktropolis.


 * If there are problems Nicktropolis (per review)
 * Fix these problems ASAP.


 * When these are done, or if Nicktropolis goes GA
 * Work on improving Nickelodeon's article

Archives We made a new page just so we can archive these newsletters. Go to WikiProject Nickelodeon/Newsletter. I felt that was a bit lengthy, so I made a shortcut just for it. It's WP:NICK/NEWS. I created that so, if our delivery boy fails, you can still access the newsletter.

Editor's note on the hiatus The newsletter went on hiatus for around 3 months because I took a wikibreak to get away from all the drama on Wikipedia. Let me tell you, though: I'm back, and I feel better than ever. So don't expect me to put the newsletter on hiatus for a long while. —Jon How's the weather? - talk about me behind my back 00:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

WP:NICK Newsletter — Holiday 2008


 November/December 2008



Holiday issue?!

We know you're going to be busy this holiday seasons, from ordering iPods to unboxing them. So we've decided to combine two newsletters into one: the Nickelodeon WikiProject's Holiday Newsletter. Hope you enjoy it! Member roll call

If you were a member of WP:NICK before the relaunch, please, please, please add your name to the member list! We need as much help as we can get! We currently have 5 members, down from a previous 40+. We know some of you are still here!

Happy holidays!

I hope all of you have a safe and fun holiday season, so get outside, enjoy the sunshine while it lasts! (in the Northern Hemisphere) For our Southern Hemisphere folks, get outside, and enjoy the sunshine, since it's spring/summer there! RfC on Nick.com closed

We now have the answer on what to do with this long-lasting dispute. The community has decided to split the Nick.com section into its own article. For this reason, I have opened a sandbox here. Let's get moving so we can fix this quickly!

Slight layout changes

We have made a few layout changes, some of which are temporary. You'll notice, compared to last month's issue, that there was an image in this column. It is now gone temporarily for the holiday (double) issue. Also, we have removed the box with the delivery notice to make it less flashy (and there were div issues, if you're techie). Article of the month

Note: This is a double issue, so we will not have an article of the month this time around. Sorry!

Have a good holiday season; see you next year!
