No problem at all, my pleasure, regards SpitfireTally-ho! 16:45, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi again!
A while back, last year, you gave me permission to use your photo of the Pennsy-4483 2-10-0 loco in an article I'm writing for Live Steam magazine. Having studied the GNU license and finding it extremely complicated (requiring the entire license to be printed by the photo!), I would ask if it's OK to use a shorter credit line instead of the one we agreed upon, simply: "Photo by XXX" - XXX being your real name - I'm not printing it here for privacy reasons. Looking forward to your reply - --Janke | Talk 09:31, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I already got your real name in a message last year. Initials J.A.Y. Correct? (The article has been delayed, so it's a while ago... ;-) All the best, --Janke | Talk 18:21, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:51, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Pennsy Photo
At the moment, it looks like the "Decapod" article will be published in the November 2009 issue of Live Steam magazine. I have made a PDF of the two pages containing wikipedia material, and I've uploaded it to my website so you can have a look: Thanks once again for the permission to use the photo, and best regards from Finland! --Janke | Talk 13:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

File:Image_Place_Holder.png listed for deletion

Re: Advice
Hey. I've found that the best course of action during a dispute is to simply walk away and let others deal with it. It might help to offer apologies where appropriate, but depending on the situation, it might also be a good idea to simply avoid interaction with the other user(s). And yeah, a whiskey might help. :) Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. Regards, – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 20:38, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Buffalo Schools
Hello Shinerunner. Thanks for adding the message to the various school sections of the Buffalo, New York article. In my experience, however, a number of individuals actually believe certain schools to be within the city of Buffalo because they have a Buffalo ZIP code or their name has Buffalo in it. Some schools are literally right across the border, and most individuals are not familiar with exact municipal boundaries. I think either (1) referring editors to the list on the talk page or (2) perhaps placing directly in the article those schools which are not to be added would be more helpful. Please share your thoughts on the matter. Respectfully, --JBC3 (talk) 21:03, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You raise a number of points that I hadn't considered. If you think it's best the additions I made should be reverted. Would you wish to revert or do you want me to take care of it? It seems like the incorrect addition of schools, landmarks, etc. seems to be an ongoing problem with this article. Hopefully a solution can be found to help minimize the problems.Shinerunner (talk) 22:20, 27 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree, it seems to be an ongoing problem. Perhaps it would be good if I raised this concern on the talk page to get some additional input. I'll leave your additions there for now, because they are better than nothing and hopefully will help. Thanks! --JBC3 (talk) 00:13, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Not canvassing
Packaging is everything, so I decided to call this bit of canvassing "not canvassing". Thanks for the comment you addressed to me at WT:RFA; I follow that you're not trying to plug things up, you're trying to keep the conversation reality-based, and I appreciate that. Your position might or might not mean that you disagree with my 5 points at Wikipedia_talk:Rfa ... I'd be interested in your opinion, here, there or anywhere. - Dank (push to talk) 17:52, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Color
Okay, will do. You can't actually see the color until you've saved, so it's going to be trial and error. SlimVirgin talk| contribs 01:20, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * How about champagne?  SlimVirgin  talk| contribs 01:27, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. :) I added a few others (wheat, peach, beige), in case you prefer those, so feel free to revert now or in future. I was just trying to avoid the very yellow one because it was clashing. SlimVirgin  talk| contribs 01:33, 30 June 2009
