Mountaineering and climbing
Great job on Dhaulagiri & Cho Oyu! Keep up the good work! --Menchi 05:40, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

I'm just in the process of renovating the List of climbing topics. You are a recent editor of that page, so feel free to revert my changes if you don't approve of them. Stewartadcock 23:24, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)

RedWolf: put a question for you on Talk:Altitude acclimatization -- hike395

I've written the bulk of an article about climbing equipment, currently at User:Stewartadcock/Climbing_equipment. Maybe you'd like to take a look and make some comments? I've got some photos to add at some point. Stewart Adcock 06:38, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Himalayas
Please please please, tell me you have some good Himalayan pics that you can add to articles. We have plenty of Europe and US mountain pictures, but almost nothing in Asia. Stan 07:04, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

 * I do have some nice pictures of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pumori, Imja Tse. However, I'm not sure yet if I want them to be put under GFDL. -- RedWolf, Nov 7/03 12:10am


 * There's little reason not to license them unless you're planning to make a living by selling copies of the pictures, and your income would be cut into by having copies available on the net. GFDL is just a license that permits use by WP and downstream publications, while you retain copyright and ownership and credit. In fact, WP is a great way to get a large audience for the photos; its traffic is comparable to Britannica Online now, and growing. I figure that at some point, photographers are going to be contributing pics just to get some greater visibility for their work! Stan 06:26, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)


 * What I've done is only put tiny (300 pixel wide) photos under the GFDL. I figure no harm done --- small photos like that have no commercial value. -- hike395 05:17, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)


 * Good idea, I might just do that. RedWolf 00:12, Dec 14, 2003 (UTC)

Album cover fair use
I'm guessing that is copyrighted. orthogonal 06:58, 19 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Used under Fair Use guidelines, as I replied to Orthogonal on his talk page on Nov 19. RedWolf 03:20, Nov 22, 2003 (UTC)

mount everest
I unprotected Mount Everest. Kingturtle 04:43, 20 Nov 2003 (UTC)

miscellaneous
Yes, your Black Rhino article is ready for primetime. I would move it now. --Jiang 03:57, 21 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hmm, a no-show on the Main page. RedWolf 03:18, Nov 22, 2003 (UTC)

There's a response over at Talk:Kubla Khan. Bryan

I want to let you know that disambiguating Canadian is completely unnecessary. The word automatically redirects to Canada anyway. kchishol1970


 * I was already aware of that. Disambiguation allows the Canadian redirect to be changed to a disambiguation page if need be in the future. For example, when I go into a bar, I usually say: "Give me a Canadian", which of course refers to the beer. RedWolf 00:10, Dec 14, 2003 (UTC)

Hey, RedWolf --- just curious: what do you mean by "dab" ? --- hike395 04:34, 31 Dec 2003 (UTC)
