Talkback
Arteyu ? Blame it on me !  10:16, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Coudl you finish this off for me?
Hey man, I started on a simple vectorization on File:Kvogur.jpg.

Could you do the figure the the bottom? I am not so good with curves. Connormah (talk) 00:20, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ✅ I also fixed the white line that appears in thumbs by performing union. In addition, I tweaked a couple notes to correctly align it as in the raster. Is the svg okay?  Zoo Fari  01:07, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy-AfD
I think it is possible to Speedy during an AfD. I've seen copyright infringements deleted before AfD ran its course (for pictures too). Is there a guideline stating otherwise? Hekerui (talk) 09:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, it specifically says it in the AfD tag. Unless the article is an attack page or copyvio, then the article should remain for further consensus. Even so, the article didn't qualify for your criteria, and it still needed consensus either way.  Zoo Fari  20:01, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It's just that I've been told the opposite by another established editor. Hekerui (talk) 20:12, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well that's according to the guidelines. Not so sure if the user you are talking about is experienced or not, but I guess maybe it was a copyvio, attack, or spam article?  Zoo Fari  20:16, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Featured pictures
Hoi, I am talking to three archives, two museums one archive that have a collection that is of a global importance. For them it is important to be recognised as having important work and to be part of the movement that brings content to the people. They are as a rule not willing to provide us with their high resolution scans but given the combination of high quality restorations AND the featured picture program they are willing to reconsider.. First for a subset of their collection and the future will tell where this will end.

This values picture program has no material benefits. It makes a ghetto of all the other material that is not digital photography by some enthusiaststs. The current climate is such that it is likely to interfere with our mission. I wonder if you realise this.. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 16:33, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Whilst I disagree, would you mind posting this in the main proposal page, if not already? Thanks,  Zoo Fari  20:45, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you realize who this is now, and what he's doing? He's perfectly serious and he knows his stuff.  Durova Charge! 23:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, you mentioned him earlier. Still invite him over to the proposal page (if not already).  Zoo Fari  16:09, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Huggle conflict
No problem, cheers, NorwegianBluetalk 20:58, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for letting the original nominators know about those delist noms. I would've done it, but I didn't want to take that immense joy from you! Also, no problem about what you wrote on my talk page. I'd meant to change that vote anyway; you should've left it :P Makeemlighter (talk) 07:26, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

ACC
According to current guidelines both requests 31044 and 31045 could have been created although they require a flagged user to create them. This is why they were denoted as such. It appears you do not have a firm grasp on the Guidelines for ACC. Please petition another Tool admin for reinstatement. Q T C 06:22, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * According to the guideline, the account can be created if the similar account is over a year old with inactivity. Not that it matters much anymore, I don't remember the account names. If it was as asserted, don't see why the similar button is there. Anyways, back to the old ways...  Zoo  Fari  06:34, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Similar is when the conflicting account is Not inactive. --  Tinu  Cherian  - 06:38, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but too late now.  Zoo Fari  06:41, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Testing
ZooFari, I was simply doing what the page wanted, I was testing the rollback feature with the test,and I used the links they gave for the test.--Cubs197 (talk) 01:54, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realized that immediately after hitting the button. I made a reply at your talk page.  Zoo Fari  01:55, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

That's OK, we all make mistakes! :) --Cubs197 (talk) 01:57, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Revisionist History
Sorry, even if you think it's negative, Tedisco still lost, and you can't change that by telling people not to be so negative. Rain City Blues (talk) 09:20, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There are still proper ways of describing such things. For example, you don't say that "he killed the president". You obviously say "he assassinated the president". Instead of saying "loser" you can say that he was defeated. A change in winner may also be better, as winner seems conceded. However, the negatives are what count. By the way, you are on the path to being reported for 3RR if you continue your revert war.  Zoo  Fari  16:34, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think you get to pick and choose like that. If a truly neutral point of view is desired, the same standards for negatives should apply to positives-they both count. If winner is an acceptable term, so is loser. Further, Conceded means gave up. I think you meant to say concieted, which means arrogant-although there is some irony in your usage of it.


 * Rain City Blues, please do not edit my archives, copy them to my main talk page, or any other mess, as noted on the template at the top. I had a hard time finding your post and restoring it. Anyways, here is my reply: No, I meant conceded. Yes, the "winner" conceded the "loser". It is not an option of desire, and I would say "winner" is also inappropriate. Perhaps you should read WP:Tone.  Zoo Fari  17:13, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That article talks about using a formal tone, not on putting a positive spin on things. Rain City Blues (talk) 22:53, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that you can only use positives. I complained about your usage in negatives (and the redundancy). If you insist we should put attack-looking phrases on the article, then you can discuss at the talk page. You can complain to me, Wadester16, Rillian, or anyone you assert to be "Revisionist history", but you will just receive more complains than good.  Zoo Fari  03:46, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Rain City Blues, your edits were not productive. It is not professional to use the term "loser" for one that did not win an election. This has nothing to do with politics. What you are spouting is all politics.  wadester 16  04:33, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Maybe?
I know this is could be extremely difficult/impossible, but I figured I'd try. I've been trying to find the city seal of Troy, New York (as opposed to the marketing logo, which is extremely easy to find). I've never found it online, but I was able to snap a photo of it. What are the chances that a photograph of a seal can lead to an SVG of a seal? If not, by all means feel free to say no or impossible.  wadester 16  16:52, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Of coarse. Did you know most graphics start off by a drawing, then scanned, and then vectoring? That's how I do my "characters". If you want me to vectorize it, not sure if I can do it, as I never vectored a seal, but if you want I'll give it a try :-)  Zoo Fari  16:59, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Doesn't need to be a vector. Just work whatever magic you can dream of and I'll appreciate whatever you come up with. (First off, a circular crop and lowering of the blue levels are a must :-D)  wadester 16  17:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. I left the background blank (as I assumed that's what you meant by "lowering the blue levels"). The graphic is not fully accurate, as it would require fundamental work, but it is close to perfect. The dotted border inset is probably not as accurate as wanted, but the difference isn't huge. So, how do you like it?  Zoo Fari  22:13, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Toyota concept vehicles, 1970-1979
I made a basic lede. Bearian (talk) 01:01, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent.  Zoo Fari  01:03, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: FPC
''I'd say nominate there too, but I opposed with no further suggestion. Maybe that means anything to you...''

Actually, that means a lot to me. It means a lot to me that you did not suggest the VP route. For that, I thank you. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:26, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you, TomStar81. I will try to keep the pressure limited :-)  Zoo Fari  01:31, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

SVG Edit
Can you edit this to make the colors more... obviously different? Can dark blue really be dark blue, etc.? hehe. Then can you list me the colors (i.e. #ffffff or whatever). Thank you much!  wadester 16  03:11, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Would you like to keep the 3D style? And yeah, hehe.  Zoo Fari  03:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yea, I think the original editor did a nice job with the 3D.  wadester 16  03:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you going to use color blocks or names of the colors in the article? Because the only required change is the dark blue (and red) if the color blocks are used. Other than that, the colors won't be obvious when using the color blocks.  Zoo Fari  03:22, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You read my mind: I'm using colorboxes. I'd say the yellows need some work too. It should be obvious without the key.  wadester 16  03:25, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and upload right over the current version. Will be annoying to replace it in articles.  wadester 16  03:29, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Here it comes... (wait less than 1 minute)  Zoo Fari  03:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks great. Now I need the color codes.  wadester 16  03:34, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Dark blue- 0500b7
 * Light blue- 80ccf1
 * Purple (or pink I suppose)- e687de
 * Yellow- fffa27
 * Orange- f7af20
 * Green- 06a74e
 * Grey- d5e2c2
 * Red- ef3a3f

✅. How's that? Anything else?  Zoo Fari  03:41, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Awesome.  wadester 16  04:03, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you update the colors here and here? I think it is the same SVG.  Zoo Fari  04:15, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Will do. On an unrelated note, can you change the date below Greene County to 1800? There's an error there.  wadester 16  05:00, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * . Let me know if you need anything else,  Zoo Fari  05:05, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Thankfully, that table was a template. :-)  wadester 16  05:06, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep. It makes things easier... :-)  Zoo Fari  05:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Portal:Mantodea
No problem. I'm glad to see more people are interested in portals and Wikispecies. If you want to get your feet wet in Wikispecies, feel free to join our community and I'll give you some guidance. It's actually easier than you think, since we rely heavily on templates. OhanaUnitedTalk page 20:08, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:pano software
Yeah the canon software is pretty useless when it comes to stitching. If you are working with a few images, Autostitch is a good option. It is free and automatically creates 2 dimensions panos. For many images though, it usually crashes (mine first crashed at 55 images). [www.autopano.net Autopano] is the final, completed version of autostitch. It detects panoramas automatically from a folder of images and has other inbuilt functions but it costs a lot. I use PTgui which has more manual control and options. I suggest you give them all a go and choose what suits you. --Muhammad (talk) 21:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, thank you much. I'll give em a shot :-)  Zoo Fari  22:17, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hugin is an open source PTGui clone if you are feeling cheap. It isn't quite as good though. Pretty sure Muhammad uses CombineZP as I do, (or the earlier version, combineZM). Noodle snacks (talk) 06:54, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Combine ZM is pretty good and usually gives perfect results when used with images taken using a tripod. I have read some reviews claiming Helicon Focus to be superior but I found it more difficult to use and it yielded poorer results. If you are thinking about focus stack, you may also want to read about Mirror lock up as this is usually important for long exposure shots. --Muhammad (talk) 16:14, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I installed the trial version of Helicon, but I don't like the way you choose files. I'll try Combine ZM. It has been a while since I did macro photography (way long before I joined Wikipedia) but my lens weren't good anymore. Luckily I obtained new ones...  Zoo Fari  19:52, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Betta splendens
Great image of mating bettas, thanks for adding it to the article. The article receives so many trash edits, I'm glad to see one that actually adds value! FYI, the main image of the red and blue veiltail used to be my fish (he is dead now, moment of silence...), many of the images that were on the page when I found it were horrible, so I made some new ones. Anyway, happy editing. -- ErgoSum • talk • trib  22:47, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the comments, I was finally able to reproduce my bettas. Sorry about your fish :( Best wishes if you get another one :-)  Zoo Fari  23:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Nagasaki Bombing
Editors do not close requests which they were heavily involved in. This goes for all processes on wikipedia. Such actions bring projects like FPC in disrepute. Do not do this again. I have brought this up on the FPC talk page. Sedd&sigma;n talk|WikimediaUK 00:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I have a problem!
Hello, ZooFari, I hope you remember me! I am your adoptee, G.phanisrinivas. See this, User_talk:G.phanisrinivas/Archive_2 if you can't remember me. I had actually forgotten that I am an adoptee of some person! After a very long time, I am writing to you. I have practiced creating templates from past one month and I have become quite good in it! I have also practiced Parser Functions and how to use them in templates.

I have created two templates which use a lot of parsers in them:
 * G.phanisrinivas/Welcome
 * G.phanisrinivas/Archive

Please read their documentations, test them in sandboxes and tell me if I am correct with them. I find them working alright. Suggest any corrections and changes.

I am undergoing an username change and I will soon be known as Srinivas, and not G.phanisrinivas!

Reply here and notify me by tb. -- Srini vas G P hani 04:25, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, course I remember you! Good to hear from you. I'll check the templates tonight, but I spotted one minor typo. Thankyou is supposed to be Thank you.  Zoo Fari  04:31, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh! Yes! I will change it. Good that you remember me. You had notified me by tb, like this:

 * If you want your signature to be included within the box of talkback, you will have to do it like this:
 * And...are you always online?? Whenever I leave you a message, you reply within seconds! -- Srini vas G P hani 04:40, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You sure became an expert fast! Yeah, I usually use Twinkle for the TB template, but didn't know it had that parameter. I spotted another problem. The heading you provided does not give the value to the welcomer. It has it on your name. I'll see if I can work out a solution. BTW, yeah, I usually stick around waiting for something to come up :-)  Zoo Fari  04:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha! Okay!
 * I have also enabled Twinkle, but I don't know how to notify users using tb with twinkle! I have read the doc and found nothing like that! Can you help me? -- Srini vas G P hani 05:01, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Woops! Sorry, I meant Friendly. It allows you to place tb messages and also welcoming.  Zoo Fari  05:05, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep! now I know hoe to do that with Friendly! Thanks! -- Srini vas G P hani 05:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep! now I know hoe to do that with Friendly! Thanks! -- Srini vas G P hani 05:08, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Talkback Notification Gadget
I have created a new gadget to notify users with the tb template at my user talk page: User talk:G.phanisrinivas. It automatically adds the section name and tb along with my username. Isn't it nice? -- Srini vas G P hani 05:30, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, is that supposed to happen (look below)?  Zoo Fari  05:33, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes! It works like this only! -- Srini vas G P hani 05:36, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * That's great! However, it seems intended for you only. Do you think you can make one that will post the tb on your talk page saying that you have new messages here?  Zoo Fari  05:40, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't understand what you meant by that! Can you explain it more clearly? -- Srini vas G P hani 05:45, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure. If you want to send a tb to a user, you use your gadget (since it sends the tb message to the user you type in). But I was thinking of something like this (I'll use myself as an example): I reply here, but don't have Friendly enabled, so I want to notify you. Since I don't have friendly enabled, I can't send you a tb. How 'bout making a gadget that when I type my username, it will post the tb post on your talk page. Sorry if I'm not explaining so well.  Zoo Fari  05:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know such syntax but I will try obtaining such one! Also see User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate which is a template for online or offline. I have used it on my talk page. It is really nice. -- Srini vas G P hani 06:04, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Eww, I actually needed one of those. I'll post one of those temps in my page soon... thanks for the recommendation!  Zoo Fari  06:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello!
Hello again, ZooFari! I am G.phanisrinivas. I was in a hurry previously and I had to vanish from wikipedia immediately. Now, coming to the point, as I had already told you that I am undergoing a username change. My username has been changed and from now on...I will be known as Srinivas. -- Sri niv  as  09:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey. I had to leave immediately as well (it was like 1AM here). OK, I'll keep that username in mind :-)  Zoo Fari  17:43, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1 AM?? So, you must be living somewhere near hmmm.... North America! Well, you didn't notify that you left a message here. I don't watch other user talk's pages. Anyway, how were the templates I had said before? Did you check them? -- Sri niv  as  05:27, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I live in Nevada, USA. Oops, forgot to modify you. Did you make the fixes to the template I mentioned you yesterday? I'll go ahead and make a glance now....  Zoo Fari  05:30, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I made changes you said. I live in Mumbai, India. -- Sri niv  as  05:32, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The climate must be nice over there... It gets too hot here (I live in a desert). Anyways, the template still reads "I'm Srinivas" when I put the template on another's user talk. Can that be fixed?  Zoo Fari  05:37, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Maybe, we must talk at the the IRC Channel! Follow the link, type ZooFari in the box and click connect. Sorry if it is confusing. -- Sri niv  as  05:48, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Frequent Power-cuts
Sorry to annoy you yesterday at the IRC channel but there was an unexpected power cut in Mumbai due to thunderstorms and lightnings. I am taking a semi-wikibreak from Monday onwards due to school. I may also take a complete wikibreak very soon due to examinations. If any suggestions about the template, please change the template and notify it to me. If you would like to move it to the template namespace, you can, but notify it to me after you do. -- Sri niv  as  03:42, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Will do, and good luck!  Zoo Fari  03:43, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * ZooFari! You haven't notified to me using that I have a new message here. Don't forget to notify users that they have new message here! It is so easy and shortcut method with Friendly and you don't do that also! -- Sri  niv  as  08:17, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * And what is all that stupid stuff you have at ZooFari/Unrevealed!!! -- Sri niv  as  08:23, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I wish I had a script that would notify you automatically ;-). That page is just miscellaneous old stuff.  Zoo Fari  12:35, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * And you have developed a very nice userpage but the background grey color is not nice. -- Sri niv  as  13:53, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm still working on it. I've been lazy to choose the lightest color for background and still need to change the gold font in my regular page.  Zoo Fari  14:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Work! Work! After all, you are a graphic designer!if free, come to IRC. I will be here but no guarantee now. There maybe a powercut anytime! :)-- Sri niv  as  14:03, 20 June 2009 (UTC)
