Soy-milk fortification
_ _ In the WP Signpost for April 2nd, 2007, i noted your valuable role on the soy-milk fortification matter. But, to address your point more directly (and just in case you haven't already picked up the fact), your question about making food more "nutritious" misses an issue: vitamin D, while essential to health, differs from most vitamins in having an achievable lethal dosage. Before there were shells and bones, organisms developed mechanisms for excreting calcium compounds from their bodies, lest biological processes be disrupted by buildups of those compounds amounting to stony internal deposits. Vitamin D compounds promote retention of these dangerous compounds, in organisms that evolved calcium-based shells for protection and/or various rigid body structures useful for weapons and/or more vigorous locomotion systems. So vitamin D is a two-edged sword, with deficiencies of it permitting deterioration of the valuable hard structures, and excessive doses tending to damage other valuable, often crucial, body parts by calcification. _ _ Now, whether all that is involved in whatever gave rise to any fortification prohibitions that have existed, i don't pretend to know. But, as a speculation that is plausible to me, research on safety & effectiveness of Vit-D fortification, such as has presumably been done on Vit-D milk, presumably offers less benefit due to the much smaller population of potential consumers, and may be also harder and or more expensive to do for the same reason. And, e.g., it would probably be important to rule out such possibilities as soy-milk consumers varying more than milk consumers in their per-person consumption levels, or percentage absorption of Vit D from soy milk varying more (depending upon individual physiology) than does that from milk. --Jerzy•t 03:53, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Sexuality
I want to tell you that sexuality is not perfered, but oriented. When you say sexual preference, you are actually even insulting yourself saying that you choose to be straight, but you really are gay, if that somehow offends you.100110100 02:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Origami interface.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Origami interface.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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. L-- 00:11, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Book cover the right thing by scott waddle.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Book cover the right thing by scott waddle.jpg. 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. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --朝彦 (Asahiko) (talk) 07:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Attack
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on this page, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because the article is a page created primarily to disparage its subject or a biography of a living person that is controversial in tone and unsourced, where there is no neutral point of view version in the history to revert to. (CSD G10).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting the article, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate the article itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. CSDWarnBot (talk) 00:30, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Scour
A tag has been placed on Scour 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 company or corporation, 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 guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Toddst1 (talk) 16:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:32, 18 June 2010 (UTC)

Demosaicing images
Hi Toytoy.

I was just reading the "Demosaicing" which you contributed the original (non-png) Bayer filter sample images for. I'm interested how you managed to create these images. Did you use a RAW file and disable the demosaicing process? I really need to produce my own images from my camera in bayerised format (with no demosaicing). Do you know how I could do this?

Many thanks

Regards
