Many thanks for the photo(s?) added to "William Arnold (settler)." This is my first article, and my first photos. A big thrill for a newcomer!Sarnold17 (talk) 00:34, 6 September 2010 (UTC)

Image captions
Hey there, nice work adding all those images! I just have one small request if I may.. do you think you could add captions to the images you add? Just doing that would greatly enhance an article. Keep up the good work. :) -- &oelig; &trade; 20:13, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Gunwale
"Originally the gunwale was the "Gun ridge" on a sailing warship. This represented the strengthening wale or structural band added to the design of the ship, at and above the level of a gun deck. It was designed to accommodate the stresses imposed by the use of artillery."

It may have got named due to artillery but the concept of a strenghtend member circling the top edge of the hull of a wood vessel pre-dates artillery. Just from the point of view of construction - a thicker and stronger timber was needed to prevent the hull flexing. The Viking long boats certainly exhibited this timber from a structural viewpoint and they mounted oars to propel the vessel on it.

It is perhaps also worth pointing out that the term now refers to the "area" of a modern boat that was represented by this member in the past but which is now simply the structural area of most monocoque moulded hulls.

Burgen
Hi Traveler, isn't it better/more accurate to have a list of Burgs (Burgen) on the Burg page instead of linking to a list of castles which are mostly Schlösser ? Unibond (talk) 18:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * My thinking is that the page Burg is a disambiguation page, listing the all meanings of the work Burg. As this word is not used in the English language for castle then it is not the place for a list of castles. As for the pages listed under List of castles in Germany, such as List of castles in Rhineland-Palatinate, they have about an equal mix of Burgen and Schlösser. I have thought about this in the past, whether castles should be separated from palaces, manor houses and forts. The problem is you cannot always go by the name (which can often be different in German and the accepted English) as to whether a building is a castle, a fortified house or a romantic palace; and sometimes the definition and interpretation is not too clear. I therefor came to the conclusion to leave the list as is with all the permutations. List of castles is maybe not the best, exact, title for the page but I have not thought of a good single noun that describes all of these types of buildings. Any suggestions?--Traveler100 (talk) 21:48, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Burg in German is a specific type of castle, so I think the definition should include that. Maybe create a new page "Burg (fortified castle)" with a list of Burgs (under the German def) and leave the existing list of castles (under the English def) as they are. Or is that going too far ? Unibond (talk) 13:51, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a need to sort this list out. I see two possibilities:-

1. Keep the list of castle articles with contents as is but rename to List of fortifications, country houses and palaces. Create some icons for type of building and add this to each entry.

2. Split into a number of separate articles, these being: Castles (medieval); palaces and country houses (neo-classic castles); forts: fortified towns, hill forts (Celtic); roman forts, modern (19th-21st century) fortifications.

--Traveler100 (talk) 09:25, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Both options sound good, my vote is for the second one. It reduces the size of the lists and doesn't need icons thus requires less work :-) Unibond (talk) 15:12, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Die-zeit-1s.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Die-zeit-1s.jpg. 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. Melesse (talk) 14:10, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

Image checker tool (page)
Okay, all done. The URL for this version is at http://toolserver.org/~jarry/imagecheckerpage/ - your queries become and. Obviously you will need to update the blacklists to improve the hit rate.

A couple of things to note: firstly, that I have made it share the previous blacklist as that seems to have been working at least reasonably; secondly, it has no way of differentiating between the main "listings" on a page and the "helper" links that accompany them. So it will see the line " Alan Ashton - Co-Founder, WordPerfect Corporation - need free image " as though both were articles it ought to be checking for images.

Hope it is of some use, - Jarry1250 [Humorous? Discuss.] 11:37, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
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)

You are really good at PD...
Which of these images would be considered as PD, and which would not? http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?t=101635 I would think they all would, due to age, but a couple of the most important have watermarks that would seem to indicate ownership. They would all seem useful to Wikipedia, if we can capture them.--Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 02:35, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * This is a difficult subject and I am not an expert on this, but here is my interpretation. If the photographs were published in Japan around the time of being taken (which it appears most are) then I think they are Public Domain. I believe copyright is 50 years in Japan but be careful, if it is attributed to a specific author then the 50 years is measured from the date of death of that person/author not from date of publication. If it is a German WWII picture published in Germany then at the time the copyright was for 10 years after publication. This was however superseded by a European Law in 1996 to 70 years. So you can have the ridicules situation that it was public domain but now is not!

Reqphoto
Hi! I noticed this edit.

Reqphotos are justifiably duplicated in multiple talk pages. A photo can be used in multiple articles. Plus photo requests need exposure so that someone can complete the said requests. WhisperToMe (talk) 05:24, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The requests end up in the same Category but I can see your point on requesting it on different article talk pages. Please note thought that the option places is not required, this is just a holder category for other more specific sub-categories.--Traveler100 (talk) 06:02, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, so next time I don't have to include "Places". Are there more specific categories I could use instead of "Places"? WhisperToMe (talk) 06:48, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

reqphoto on Talk:2010 San Bruno pipeline explosion
I think consolidating metropolitan areas into specific reqphoto groups makes sense. The issue, as you wisely point out, is categorizing things and remaining consistent without creating new complications. Metropolitan-specific categories make sense to me, because the county sizes in these areas is smaller. Taking this into consideration, five counties could be within driving distance of a reqphoto in an urban area. I'll certainly support a Bay Area category with appropriate sub-categories and will add my voice into a broader community discussion if you want. Do you think this makes sense in terms of making reqphoto articles more visible in larger cities, etc? --Xaliqen (talk) 12:41, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

Corporate farming photo request
What are you looking for with the photo request that you did years ago? (geez, time sure flies!) Are you looking for an image of one of the large farming companies listed in the article? If so, there are plenty of images available. If you're looking for a picture of a large farm, I just took one of a large barn large enough for hundreds of cattle. There is no identification so hopefully there shouldn't be issues with someone being singled out with a term that could be considered negative. I'll watch your talk page for a reply.  Royal broil  04:41, 12 October 2010 (UTC)


 * I added the reqphoto as part of an action to move photo requests from a list page, that no longer exists, to the talk pages of the articles . I did not make the original request and it is very difficult from the list page history to identify who added it. I would suggest adding something you feel helps the article then remove the request from the talk page. If it is not what was being looked for then maybe the request will be added again with more detail.--Traveler100 (talk) 05:16, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Categories for Fictional things
Hi, I note that you removed Category:Fictional serial killers from Category:serial killers among others.

Any comment? - Fayenatic (talk) 15:56, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
 * I did this because I was using categories above to create lists of people, but ended up getting lists of film. So a list of criminals was including film actors. Would be useful to find a guideline on this topic.--Traveler100 (talk) 16:11, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Unnecessary removal of reqphoto request.
I have reverted your removal of the reqphoto request that I have added to the talk pages of some BLP's. The reqphoto is a visible talk page hatnote which adverts all causal users of a photo request. You are welcome to add the "needs-photo" note to the Biography project banner, but they are not equivalent in visibility to users. Thus its removal is actually detrimental to article improvement. The note on the Project Banner is too small and inconspicuous to actually be noticed other than by an active editor. QuAz GaA  18:20, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, I can see that the reqphoto banner is better than the WPBIo banner for bringing the request to peoples attention. I have refined the reqphoto information and moved it below the WPBio template which should be first on the page.--Traveler100 (talk) 19:13, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Thank you for refining my 'reqphoto' in User talk:Jack Greenmaven/Jackaroo Draft
I don't know how you found it! I see you have reviewer rights. I am wondering whether to move my User:Jack Greenmaven/Jackaroo Draft into WP and out of myspace. Could you review it for me please? I began by getting chided, as a rookie editor, for editing a disambiguation page; my talk page has the details.

I know there is a process for requesting review, but there is an issue about disambiguation, which I describe fully in User_talk:Woohookitty/Archive16, which is inhibiting me from going ahead with the move or formally requesting review.

I believe that my article should have 'prime topic' status. The disambiguation page jackaroo gives first place to information which I consider to be thinly veiled advertising for a motor vehicle and a light aircraft.

Could you comment please? And could you communicate via my talk page, as I want to keep the discussion in one place. --Greenmaven (talk) 19:25, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Reqphoto Location Categories
Hello. I noted that your edit here removed the viewable Sussex category from the Reqphoto. Will you be creating an East Sussex category? The reason I ask is that I pointed a photographer friend to this category and they asked whether that list could be broken down into counties. Is it feasible that I could create these categories myself? Are there administrative requirements for creating categories? - Dave Crosby (talk) 12:20, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * You can create the categories without administrator rights but I would recommend being familiar with the conventions so that it is not changed by others. For US States it is acceptable to breakdown into counties providing there are enough articles to justify it. For example see Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Alameda County, California. I would recommend go into edit of this page and copy/paste the syntax into new categories for North Carolina.--Traveler100 (talk) 15:39, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice, thanks. I'll start with those counties that have existing requests. - Dave Crosby (talk) 14:58, 30 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I have now noted that the category exists (East Sussex) but the text doesn't show in the Reqphoto box, is this normal? - Dave Crosby (talk) 12:37, 29 December 2010 (UTC)


 * The text stating the place only shows in the Reqphoto box when there is a category "Wikipedians in" for that place. Which there is for Sussex but not for East Sussex or West Sussex. I assume as some point the two counties where merged or visa versa the single county was split? Therefore the categories are not in sync. Which is the current correct situation?--Traveler100 (talk) 15:39, 29 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, I don't know the current situation re those counties, I was just puzzling over the behaviour of the template and "Wikipedians in" seems pretty logical thanks. - Dave Crosby (talk) 14:58, 30 December 2010 (UTC)

template on band articles
Thank you for taking the time to improve these articles, but the template should not be placed on articles about bands, such as Talk:Räserbajs and Talk:Krymplings. The template would be appropriate for an article about a specific person in a band (such as James Hetfield), but is not appropriate for an article about the band itself (such as Metallica). Again, thank you, and I apologize if this caused any confusion. - SudoGhost 03:38, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * There have been many discussions on this topic over years. The only consensus I have found is that groups are part of WikiProject Musicians.--Traveler100 (talk) 03:54, 21 July 2011 (UTC)
 * is not the same as .  A biography is a detailed description or account of someone's life, not a band's existence.  The issue that it's bringing up is that placing the  template on a band's talk page flags it under Category:Biography articles without living parameter.  A band cannot be living or dead.  The members of a band can be, but the band itself is not a living entity.  That's my only issue, is that it flags the article in that category, and I can't clear it by calling the band living or dead, because a band isn't described in that way, and many band articles do not say if the members of the band are all alive or dead. - SudoGhost 04:01, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

Question about Geo Coordinates
Im not sure how much you know about these but I had a question about geo coordinates I was hoping you might be able to answer. I would like to add a category and parameter to the WikiProject United States banner for needing coordinates. Do you know how to do this or have an example of a project that does this? --Kumioko (talk) 13:46, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Thoughts relating to list of castles in England
Hi! There are issues with reordering the List of castles in England and removing the lead. I have a suggestion you might consider as an alternative. In principle there could be an entirely new page, say List of medieval fortified sites in England. On the web is a freely downloadable comprehensive list, 4000+ sites. If the maintainer of the list were willing, copyright not an issue, then a subset of the data could be used to create the new page. As all detailed information would be omitted, the maintainer might consider this would not undermine his own site.

If the only fields were, to take an example:

Name			Arundel Castle, County			W. Sussex, Type			Motte and bailey, Condition		Intact, Confidence		Certain, (Pastscape) ID		11111111,

estimate 70-80 bytes per row, the complete list might be no bigger than the very largest existing lists on Wikipedia, but it could be whittled down by excluding some categories, such as military forts, or sites described as 'rejected'. Location data is available at Pastscape via the ID.

Someone would need to write a perl script or other little program to process the data electronically to create the new page.

In any case, a much more comprehensive list could be created if there were no images, and only an id instead of a reference url for each entry. The castles list includes non-medieval buildings, the medieval fortified sites list might include ecclesiastical buildings, town walls, etc. so the two lists could be seen as complementary.

needs photo tagging
I see you are adding needs photo on talk pages. You are doing it slightly incorrect. The "needs-photo" parameter should never go into the Biogrophy banner anymore. Technically, is shouldn't go in any banner as it has been replaced by the "Image requested" parameter. It is redundant to add both as both do the same thing, but "Image requested" is more powerful. I can't remember all the correct wording that goes into Image requested, say for Thoroughbred racing. So, I leave the needs photo in the banners I can't remember. When a photo gets added, most people just see the Image requested and remove that. There is a category for articles that have photos, but still have needs-photo. It was backed up to over 2,000 until somebody cleared it out a couple months back. Bgwhite (talk) 21:03, 7 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I was not aware that "need-photo" had actually been made redundant. I generally first add it to the Biography banner but then with another bot re-edit pages with a more precise Image Requested tag. It is just too complex to do in one step. I could however edit my original method and set the different categories based on the people sub category. --Traveler100 (talk) 05:41, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Note the AWD you are using is removing "need-photo" but just adding the Image Requested template without any parameters. For example if you take "need-photo" out of a Biography banner that is also tagged with musician-work-group=yes it should also add musicians parameter to the Image requested banner (and so forth for all the other sub groups). I soend a long time removing the 10000 articles in the top category, this will just fill it up again--Traveler100 (talk) 06:02, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * AWB is not removing "need photo" and adding Image Requested. Unfortunately, it is done manually by me.  We both learned something new today. Of course I need to forget something to add it to my small brain... forget wedding anniversary.  I will set the proper request for Image Request when I add it. Bgwhite (talk) 07:18, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I have worked out how to change one of my bots to remove yes from the needs-photo parameter and insert an Image request template. I could start it running but it will edit over 10000 talk pages.--Traveler100 (talk) 09:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)


 * We meet again . I've come across your bot for the first time today.  Good idea for the bot, it is needed.  Traditionally, I've seen the Request Image banner at the bottom of the WikiProject Banners.  However, when I looked WP:TPL, it doesn't mention where it should go.  I'll leave the question on where it goes on the discussion page so we can see what the official stance is.  Second, your bot is beating me... I haven't added the appropriate work-group to the Biography Banner, so you bot is just tagging the photo group as "people".  It dawned on my after a few talk pages went by that I should narrow people to sportspeople, musicians or artists and entertainers.  Sorry for letting some go thru.  I'll be more diligent to adding the proper category. Bgwhite (talk) 06:23, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Image requested categories
I've just glanced at the categories on Wikipedia Photos Requested on people of Texas and Wikipedia Photos Requested on people of Hawaii. I'm assuming this exists on others. It's sorting by first name, rather than the "Default sort" or "Listas" criteria.--Maile66 (talk) 15:21, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I assume we would have to edit something in the Image Requested template to change the sort order. Could you provide details how this works?--Traveler100 (talk) 15:44, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know. I've posed the question here: Template talk:Image requested--Maile66 (talk) 19:38, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Image problem
Hi, thanks for fixes to image requests on Talk pages. Any idea how to fix Mihály Lombard de Szentábrahám and Johann Stobäus+ Johann Christian Schöttgen, from hu.Wik and de.Wik respectively? In ictu oculi (talk) 03:46, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately it is not possible to references directly images on another Wikipedia language site. The best way to solve this problem is to copy the images to Wikimedia Commons  then you can reference them on any Wikipedia language site. You can either do this manually by first downloading to your machine then uploading to commons or there are a few tools to do this. The tools take a bit of effort to get working the first time but do in the long run save you a lot of typing of text detailing what you have transfered and from where. Details here: Moving files to the Commons .--Traveler100 (talk) 05:57, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll have a crack at it. In ictu oculi (talk) 01:36, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Many thanks, the tool worked well with the two de. images. The tool didn't recognise the (insuffucient?) licenses on the hu. image http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Szentabrahami.jpg. I've tried to copy it manually, adding PD-old and PD-US as it's an 1861 (or earlier) image. But I didn't do the scan myself, the original hu.User did. Any further pointers you have much appreciated.

Reqphoto
Hi! About http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Condor_Flugdienst&diff=458247282&oldid=458082810

Usually when a place is a suburb of a larger city, I put it in the "reqphoto" of the category of the larger city. I.E. if a photo is in the Los Angeles area, even if it's not in the city limits. Since Kelsterbach, Hesse is by Frankfurt Airport, I put it in the Frankfurt reqphoto category WhisperToMe (talk) 08:09, 9 November 2011 (UTC)


 * I notice that you do this. However you often select a category that does not exist, therefore no one will ever see it, so I move them to an existing category. You could create the category for Frankfurt but there is little point. There are only a few requests for that area; generally we only create new categories when there are a reasonable number (over 50). --Traveler100 (talk) 08:18, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * In this particular instance, though Category:Wikipedians in Frankfurt does exist - Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Frankfurt does not exist, but I pick categories based on whether the "Wikipedians in X" category exists, not whether the "Wikipedia requested photographs in X" exists WhisperToMe (talk) 08:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * yes but Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Frankfurt does not. People read and bots scan Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Germany.--Traveler100 (talk) 08:26, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
 * In that case, I just created the Frankfurt category. Since Frankfurt is a major business and commercial area (Plus there are several things at Frankfurt Airport itself that I requested), if there aren't 50< requests for that area, then there can easily be more WhisperToMe (talk) 08:29, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Banshee.jpg


A tag has been placed on File:Banshee.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

BAB 61 junction list
I thought you should know that I created a sandbox where I intend to recreate an RJL-compliant version of the A61 junction list. –Fredddie™ 00:44, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes this looks good. But I see there are templates created by others also for Autobahns, before investing too much time you may want to confer with people at WikiProject Germany/Transportation. --Traveler100 (talk) 08:24, 28 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming you're talking about the list at Autobahn infobox template. From what I can tell, the German Transport project is mostly inactive; most of the notices on the talk page were created from U.S. Roads members. –Fredddie™ 16:46, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Image needed template
Greetings, I just noticed that you were removing the image needed=yes parameter from a lot of WikiProject templates and replacing it with the Image needed template. Is there a point to this it seems a bit unnecessary since they both do the same thing. --Kumioko (talk) 12:20, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * A number of reasons. Firstly there a re a number of semi-automatic and automatic bots that work better with the Image requested template than project specific image request parameters. It also provides a quick way of fixing the fact that Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the United States was starting to fill up with duplicates of requests that are in child sub-categories. It also has the additional advantages of fixing the Louisville error and moving requests for photographs of people to the more specific categories. --Traveler100 (talk) 13:04, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok some of that sorta makes sense. I'm still trying to figure out how to best correct the issue of duplicate requests issue although I don't personally think its a problem if an image is counted in multiple places (i.e. Kansas City, MO; Kansas City, KS & United States). The same is going to be true of the Image needed template if you say multiple things (such as in=Kansas City, Mo; in2=Kansas City, KS; in3=United States). In regards to the Louisville error thats a byproduct of the admins protecting that and every other bleeping template so that I have to take a knee and kiss the ring to get it modified. If I had access I could fix a lot of these problems in minutes instead of days or weeks. I could really rant for paragraphs about that but it is what it is. --Kumioko (talk) 18:37, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
 * I just noticed you made a couple changes to the code for Template:WikiProject United States in the sandbox. Which is perfectly fine. My only concern is that we should ensure that if there is no subproject/taskforce parameter (i.e. just the WPUS banner) then it still goes in the US Needs image category. I believe that the code you are addnig will ignore needs image if there is no subproject/taskforce parameter set. Not 100% sure though. --Kumioko (talk) 18:59, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The forst tests I made look like this case is covered but I will do some more checks. Not finished yet with added all the cases. --Traveler100 (talk) 19:42, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'm glad you figured out how to make it work. --Kumioko (talk) 19:58, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Video compression merge
I find fault with your merge of Video compression into Data compression I request that you revert the merge so that it can be discussed and, if there's consensus done without losing history or information. --Kvng (talk) 17:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Video compression was a substantial article but there were no changes made to Data compression so I'm not sure this can be characterized as a merge.
 * 2) You redirected Talk:Video compression. I think we normally like to keep the talk page intact.
 * 3) There was no prior discussion of the merge.
 * I did not merge the articles. This was something done in November by someone else. I redirected the talk page as the article no longer was there and the template on the page no longer relevant. The content can always be read through the history. I see your point on not being discussed beforehand though. --Traveler100 (talk) 18:09, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
 * OK. I presume I have misread the histories. I will have another look when I get a chance and then try to clean it up if necessary. --Kvng (talk) 15:55, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Needs image question
I'm not sure who to ask this question too so I thought I would start with you and maybe you could answer or point me in the right direction. I am in the process of identifying all the articles in WPUS that need images and so far there are a lot. Before I go dumping tags to 25, 000+ articles and balloon the needs image categories though is there any rules that say that we shouldn't add it to articles without images in certain circumstances.

Just to clarify, once I tag these things I am going to go back through and start working on fixing them. I'm not talking about adding the stupid this male biography needs an photo image, but some are sports team related and we could add a team logo, some are government related and we could add an image of the agency logo, etc. Of course this won't apply in every case but I think it will work for some. --Kumioko (talk) 16:57, 21 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Well there are no rules about not making a request. There are number on what type of image you can use when it comes to copyright but that is an issue when placing not requesting. The only thing I would say is, would adding a request increase the chance of an image being added? I assume you will be adding the request to the WPUS template, in which case we need to make sure all the categories are correct and we do not get duplicate request in parent categories for the same article. Will also need to watch how many in each category. A category with 10 requests is not worth creating but one with 1000s is also a hindrance to finding images. --Traveler100 (talk) 18:00, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, unfortunately I don't know exactly how may will fall into each category yet but we can refine them once they get there or as the categories start to fill up I think. On a related note. I noticed you are adding some more code to the template. Just wondering about something. If multiple task forces are active will it display the image on each of them or only one? --Kumioko (talk) 18:23, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * If I understand it correctly it should add to multiple categories. What I am try to avoid is not to have parent child duplicates. So say, FBI and Arizona should put requests in both categories but Louisiana and New Orleans should only have image request in New Orleans. --Traveler100 (talk) 19:35, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks, that makes sense. --Kumioko (talk) 21:22, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

Needs image catgories marked for deletion
Greetings, I noticed that you moved and submitted for deletion several needs image categories relating to some of the Projects supported by WikiProject United States. I realize that for the moment some of these are empty or contain few articles but over the next couple of months they are going to be needed and its very likely that we will just be recreating them. I have a bot request currently pending approval to identify, among other things, the articles in WPUS without images. Additionally I have a listings totalling about 71, 000 pages (about 44, 000 are articles) that are currently not tagged for one of the supported projects. For example, there will be at least 200 in Eastern washington once the run is done. Not all of the 44, 000 need images of course but many do. --Kumioko (talk) 14:55, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * I have moved, although most added, to Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the United States so that requests to do with USA are all in one location as well as under subject matter. Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Eastern Washington I think should be deleted because there is never gong to be many and currently there are only a couple of 100 in the Washington State category. Same with Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in the New Hampshire Mountains. If we get close to a 1000 in a category then it should be split. Too many categories is also difficult to manage though. If a category does get large then yes sub-categories should be made, but note the convention for the USA is to go to counties not regions. --Traveler100 (talk) 17:32, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, I had thought that having a seperate category for each Project/Subproject/taskforce would be easier to manage but its fine with me either way. --Kumioko (talk) 18:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * The challenge is to try an organise in a way for those who can address the request rather than by who makes the request. I think we will evolve the categories as you start to create the lists. BTW, how do you check if an article has an image or not? --Traveler100 (talk) 18:44, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * OK sounds good. Basically I skip the article if it contains .bmp, .jpg, .svg and I added #redrect after you mentioned that. I have also noticed there are a couple of Infboxes that have an Image built into them but I haven't factored those out yet. I have also identified a couple more that I need to add of tif, tiff, Jpeg and png. There are apparantly a few more possibles such as xcf, pdf, mid, ogg, ogv, djvu, and oga but I'm not sure if I should be factoring those out. Several of these are not images per say but media files. Currently, I am concentrating on only articles that don't have any images whatsoever but that doesn't mean its a good one. They might just be a picture of a headstone or the stupid needs image male or the like. --Kumioko (talk) 19:28, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Do you also check and ignore talk pages that already have and its derivatives? Also if other WikiProject templates are on the talk page that these do not have a more specific needs-photo or photo-needed parameter ( for example  imageneeded and in parameters)? --Traveler100 (talk) 06:34, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply. No not normally. Just because WikiProject computing has the needs image doesn't mean it pertains to the WPUS project and vice versa. Thats why I had thought that using in categories specific to WikiProjects might make it easier to associate what the image was needed for. Without setting the needs-image parameter for the WikiProject I don't know if there is anyway to know if the image is needed for the project or something else. Of course we can still use the Image needed template but I think that the needs image parameter for the project still has a purpose. --Kumioko (talk) 19:12, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Question about the layout of images
I just had a question about how things are layed out in the image namespace and I was hoping you might know the answer. I have been working on cleaning up some image issues and have noticed quite a few things that could/shoudl be cleaned up. For example is there anything like Talk page layout that breaks down what order things should appear in within the File namespace. I have seen all sorts of different layouts and there doesn't appear to be any standard that I can see. --Kumioko (talk) 19:16, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect artwork of Buenaspis
Hello, I'm responsible for the recent expansion of the Buenaspis article. You now have included theKleptothule rasmusseni.jpg artwork. I decided before not to include it, because it shows 4 thorax segments in Buenaspis, where there should be 6. That is also the reason why I made the drawing that is now in the taxobox.
