Melbourne
Is there any particular reason you reverted the edit from 211.29.195.108? I only ask because the sentence you returned contains factual errors: specifically that changes to Triple J in the late '90s made it similar to stations like Nova ... the only problem is that Nova wasn't started until 2001. --BenM 08:05, 31 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah i probably just should have checked the sentance for errors before reverting the edit. I reverted it because i saw it as just deleting some information that could have been of some use, but yes again, i should have checked the facts of the actual sentance instead of just reverting it.


 * Alright, I might look into rewriting it a little more clearly later. --BenM 05:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

RE: Image:Brogden.JPG
After trawling through my hardrive, it appears I do not. I must have deleted the original after uploading it. However, I hope to be able to take more screenshots of Brogden and company in coming days - although it's becoming increasing difficult to do so. Happy editing, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 13:44, 1 September 2005 (UTC)


 * Looks like someone has just fixed the aspect ratio anyway. Swarve 06:57, 2 September 2005 (UTC)

TV Channel Boxes
Hi, your work to improve the infoboxes on the British TV channels is great, however I just want to let you know that over the next couple of weeks (or as soon as I can get round to it) these are going to be replaced with a new infobox Template:UK-ROI TV channel infobox, so I don't want to you to waste effort on something that will be be replaced imminently. catch ya about.

Hello. I notice you are prettying-up some tables which is cool. Can you add some space between the text and the table? Its just easier on the eye. Many thanks. Mrsteviec 10:20, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

SVG Maps
Hi, I have been looking into uploading my maps as SVG, but have been hessitant for a few reasons. I have had no dealings with SVG before and would want to properly understand the format first. I don't want all the non-visible parts of the file included in the upload, reference images, non-relavent data, etc. I did attempt to upload a test in compressed svg format the other day, but it didn't work. Martyman 20:57, 11 October 2005 (UTC)


 * The problem is that I think Illustrator will also include all the layers that I have turned off. I know this is how it behaves when you save to PDF format. For example, say I use a copyrighted image as a reference image. I would have it in a layer which is set invisible when I am exporting images for upload. As far as I can see If I save to SVG it will be included in the SVG file (in an invisible state) which would then make it illegal for me to then distribute the file. I would have to delete all non-desired content out of the Illustrator file every time I want to generate a new SVG file for upload. Martyman 02:43, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

BBC News logo
Would you be able to edit your svg image (Image:BBC-newslogo.svg) so that it has a default resolution greater than 300px? I'm sure it can be done, but I've not learnt SVG yet. If you can make that change then the image should work nicely with users' thumbnail settings, which can currently be set to up to 300px. With the image the way it is now, "thumb" will not render it any greater than 88px. --Throup (talk) 01:38, 23 October 2005 (UTC)


 * No worries! Swarve 02:10, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

London 2012 logo
Hi. May I ask why you are changing the PNG image of the London 2012 logo to your SVG version? I'm just wondering why as the SVG version has a light blue background which doesn't look as nice. violet/riga (t) 13:33, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I do understand the difference between the versions and the problems IE causes, but we should cater for the largest audience. If you could find a fix then that'd be great, otherwise I think it might be better to go back to the original PNG.  violet/riga (t) 11:37, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism of Gippsland Grammar School
All the vandalism is coming from a single IP; 202.76.131.2. This user has been blocked once before (on 18 October), and since then has persisted in vandalism. Maybe we should involve an administrator? -- Cnwb 23:46, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Done. I just followed the procedures listed here Administrator intervention against vandalism. --Cnwb 23:58, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

You recently made changes to the Dunedin article, but you should have reverted the massive vandalism by first. Then made the changes. WikiDon 17:50, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

Template:Infobox Aust school
Thank you for widening the "School Colours" line, but some school articles (such as Kedron SHS) still display the field on two lines. Do you know how to fix this? Thanks for your help! Brisvegas 06:29, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Aus Primetime Template
Hi can you please explain why you removed this 'spam' infobox from the HSV-7 page? Swarve 06:50, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
 * Hi Swarve. I guess I removed it as I was removing the tag from a number of TV shows. I didn't mean to take it down from Seven Network stations, and I believe I left it on several other stations. My apologies. --Bookandcoffee(Leave msg.) 07:00, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Portal formatting
Hello again! I recently set up the Christianity Wikiportal. The design is constantly changing and being updated. Another user helped with the layout by using different code to set it up, but in the process the green colour of the header boxes has changed to a blander light blue. Do you know how can I can make the title boxes go from the current colour scheme back to this one? I don't know where to insert the colour tags to change it back. Thanks in advance! Brisvegas 08:50, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
 * No worries - it has been fixed. :) Brisvegas 00:53, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

London 2012 SVG and Logo Template
I don't see how the template can be used with an SVG image. The template talks about using low resolution images of logos for copyright reasons. By definition a vector version of the logo cannot be low resolution. What do you think about this matter? David Newton 09:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

WikiProject AFL
G'day, just wondering if you'd like to join WikiProject AFL. There seems to be a lack of awareness that such a project exists due to the previous inactivity on this site. But it's here, and I hope you will join. Cheers, Rogerthat 07:17, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

WP A-League player project
Hi Swarve! I just wanted to let you know about the big WikiProject A-League 2005–06 player project. It is an attempt to bring the articles on every player who played in the A-League in 2005–06 up to standard. Check out the main page for the player project to get the full list of players as well as useful links and stats to help out. Hopefully we can get the full list done before the beginning of the 2006–07 season. Don't forget to update the counts (they will automatically update the status bar) as you go. Thanks!

The Metro
Hi Simon! I didn't know you were on Wikipedia! First of all - thanks a million for the photos, they're really great for the Metro articles on stations. Secondly, I will upload the original size for the Titan photo. For most of them, I've tried to get the original size, maybe I just clicked the wrong button for that one [UPDATE: Apparently Flickr takes you automatically to the large size, not the original, when you click on a photo]. In any case, thanks for telling me about this. The Politehnica photo will be uploaded soon. And the Athaeneum one is also beautiful. Cheers, Ronline ✉ 12:49, 13 June 2006 (UTC) - PS: Where in Australia are you from? I spent a part of my childhood in Australia and was there (Sydney) at the start of this year. Loved it. How are you finding Romania?


 * Yes, I spent most of my time in Sydney, even though I did make a short trip to Canberra and Melbourne (I stayed at my friends' place in Syndal; there is a pretty large Romanian community there), and various places in NSW. I'm actually not from Bucharest, but from Oradea, near the Hungarian border, so I guess we're both from regional centres :) How long are you staying in Romania for? [[Image:Flag of Europe.svg|20px]][[Image:Flag of Romania.svg|20px]] Ronline ✉ 13:41, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, I have to go offline very soon, so the quickest I'll be able to upload them will be tomorrow. If you're able to upload them before then, it would be great. Otherwise, I'll get around to doing it. Cheers, [[Image:Flag of Europe.svg|20px]][[Image:Flag of Romania.svg|20px]] Ronline ✉ 13:51, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Expansion of WP:A-League
Hi ,

Just thought I'd let you know there is currently a proposal to expand WikiProject A-League to include all areas of football/soccer in Australia, including the NSL, A-League, Socceroos, state leagues and more. A more formal proposal page can be found here. Please indicate whether you support the idea or not at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject A-League, and also add your 2c about what the new project should be called. Cheers! – AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 04:09, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:ArmandVanHelden-Home, Sydney.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ArmandVanHelden-Home, Sydney.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self 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 uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --RobthTalk 04:33, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Your edit to Melbourne article
Just want to give you a heads-up that the China wiki-link was being directed to People's Republic of China instead of China for a reason -- the China article talks about Chinese civilization and not the country, so a disambiguated link is needed -- People's Republic of China for the country mostly known as "China" and Republic of China for the country mostly known as "Taiwan" (similarly, the Taiwan article talks about the island rather than the country). Hopefully this is useful. :) -→Buchanan-Hermit™ /?! 04:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

geocoords
Hi :) Thanks for your edits to Hawthorn East, they did improve the article considerably (it's on my watchlist of problem articles because of the hyperbole that seems to creep in at the drop of a hat). One note though - the geocoords at the bottom in external links are pretty much standard across all suburb articles nationwide. The script for that actually places the coords at the top right - so when they go, they take the top right ones with them. Orderinchaos 09:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Your edit summary for M3 Line
Hiding an insult in your edit summary by choosing to make it in Romanian is neither particularly clever or appreciated. Further, it is outside the collaborative spirit of the project. You might not like that sources are required by WP:V, but the recourse you have is to argue for a change to that policy, not to put down those who try to improve the project in any way. Beyond that, your choice to make your attack a bigoted one by making an ad hominem attack against my nationality casts a particularly negative shadow on your actions.

Replaceable fair use Image:ArmandVanHelden-Home,_Sydney.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:ArmandVanHelden-Home,_Sydney.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image 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 the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 7 days after this notification, per our Fair Use policy.

Fair use rationale for Image:MelbVictory-logo.svg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:MelbVictory-logo.svg. 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. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image source problem with Image:Alcatel.png
This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Alcatel.png. 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, 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, 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 tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags.

Speedy deletion of Template:Melbourne Line Infobox
A tag has been placed on Template:Melbourne Line Infobox 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.

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>).

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Fcuk.png
Thanks for uploading Image:Fcuk.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 21:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Carey Aquatic
A tag has been placed on Carey Aquatic requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a club, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guidelines for people and for organizations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:The-australian-masthead-new.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:The-australian-masthead-new.png. 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).

File source problem with File:Cocacolaverkauf.jpg
Thank you for uploading File:Cocacolaverkauf.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, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Non-free rationale for File:CarltonDraught.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:CarltonDraught.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
