User talk:Stefsaks

Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Stefsaks! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or place helpme on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! User:Marek69. 14:36, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Milkis.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Milkis.gif. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 15:29, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Chelandium
Hello! I have reverted your changes for two reasons: one, you simply dumped info onto the page, effectively making it contain two separate articles. Two, the info you added was either redundant (already included) or largely wrong. There is no direct line of descent linking the dromon and chelandion to the triremes, for instance; modern views regard the dromon an evolution of the liburnian, which was a quite different ship type. Also, the name was not in use in Antiquity, AFAIK. It only appears in sources in the 8th century. The "one book" I have cited is actually the premier scholarly and modern source on the Byzantine navy and its ships for the period 600-1204. It cannot be compared to the websites you gave. If you disagree on specific points, I'll be happy to discuss these on the article's talk page. Please also provide reliable and verifiable sources. Best regards, Constantine  ✍  00:11, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
