Tokyo Joe article

There is a modern telling of the story of a Japanese gangster by the name of "Tokyo Joe" that was made in 2008. In anticipation of an article on the film in the future, I differentiated the earlier 1949 production. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC).

Ukrainian scouting

Hi Chris,

Sorry for replying so late - I've been on some cycling trips with the wife, which brought me into areas with patchy to non-existent OSM coverage, so I've been working on OSM - reviewing GPS and video data etc.

Tomorrow's the last day of my holiday, so I'll see how far I get with the Ukrainian scout logos, but they all some of them look doable. Just keep bugging me and I'll get around to the Ruthenian logo, the YMCA logo and maybe later the Luhansk logo. --Slashme (talk) 16:20, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

I've done the truncated logo. It seem from their flag and the patches that I could see on LiveJournal that the "shiny look" of the jpg logo isn't part of the actual logo, but an embellishment, so I left it out. --Slashme (talk) 15:39, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

reqphoto

Please note that when requesting photographs of people you can add the parameter needs-photo = yes to the {{WPBiography}} template. Also for people from Japan you can use the person-photo=yes parameter in the {{WikiProject Japan}} template.--Traveler100 (talk) 09:04, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

International Catholic Conference of Scouting

Can you take a look at User:Phips/workshop/? I used the information I could find, but there is still information missing.-Phips (talk) 00:57, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

IFC

Hey Chris, sorry for huge delays in your image requests. I've been extremely busy and had time to do only small things. Anyways, I came across File:Asociación de Guías de Cuba.png and was wondering what needs to be blue and orange. I have an SVG made ready to be colored. Also, I'm unable to transfer the images back to Misplaced Pages. You need a fair use rational and upload them here the same as you would with other images. --ZooFari 02:59, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Hawaii

Chris, this is not haw.wikipedia.org. In the same way when I go to the article on Moscow (http://en.wikipedia.org/Moscow) the native Cyrillic (Москва) spelling is used once (for reference) and then Moscow is spelled in English for the rest of the article, this goes with neither every other article where the names of the location are spelled in the language that article is geared towards. By spelling Hawaii in HAWAI'IAN you are adding inconstancy to[REDACTED] and this goes against the style guide which requires wiki to be neutral. The State of Hawaii was incorporated into the USA with its English spelling, not its Hawai'ian. If you find this to be vandalizing I suggest you change the other 99% of en.wikipedia.org (to include any of Japan) and spell all cities, places, locations in their native language to be neutral. I have no problem if you wish to write the the same page in Hawai'ian on haw.wikipedia.org but as I said, this is en.wikipedia.org. Also see http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Naming_conventions_%28use_English%29, especially paragraph number four 81.187.27.117 (talk) 14:34, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

It wasn't the macronization I was objecting to, it was removal of a large portion of text related to a sitting president, thus of interest in a very small article. I removed the hagiography. You would have more clout for your changes if you register or sign in. IPs who remove chunks look like vandals and POV pushers. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 15:48, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

New image

I have made this SVG to replace this old raster. Let me know if that works. Also, is the transparent parts supposed to be white? BTW, I will be dedicating my time this weekend for your requests. You will be able to view statistics here (to be created...). --ZooFari 22:17, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

This one I will send the better old photo to help. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 03:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

For this image, that was the best I could do. It is too low in quality for SVG, and I could only make the background opaque at my level of experience. Feel free to revert. --ZooFari 23:23, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you! --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 03:38, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

As for this and this, what exactly do you want me to do? Vectorize? I noticed that the source comes from SVGs by other editors. --ZooFari 03:58, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

They exist as better SVGs on Commons, now that I have fixed the licensing, you can use the same licensing to copy them to the en:wiki. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 04:04, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Ah. Are the file names okay? --ZooFari 04:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Yep, we've renamed all Scout images to match their articles. Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 04:19, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Since both images are under the same file name at Commons, I'm unable to upload them under that name. I assume you want the ones at Commons deleted? If so, I could get an admin right away to do this for me. --ZooFari 04:29, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

If you can, please! --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 16:40, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

 Done. --ZooFari 17:03, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I'll be spending some time on more requests tomorrow and this weekend. --ZooFari 03:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Not sure if you're aware - User Beao uploaded another version over the one I created earlier - uncropped, but with the writing on the blackboard removed. -- DMS (talk) 21:16, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

I noticed you reverted the photo, so - since Beao's version has much better colour tone - I cropped it and lightened the subject, and have uploaded that version. Feel free to revert if you have a preference for one of the other versions. Regards -- DMS (talk) 05:05, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

re: fact tag at Lincoln Park High School (Chicago, Illinois)

こんにちは (I hope I have that correct)

I recently noted that you added a fact tag to this article, specifically to the sentence claiming that this school is located in Chicago. I use citation tags constantly, normally to tag extraordinary claims or claims that appear to be dubious. This was the first time that I saw a citation request for information that (from my perspective) did not give the appearance to be dubious or controversial. However, I admit it is possible that I am misinterpreting what you are requesting. Could you please clarify what you would like to have confirmed by citation, and I will do my best to find a reliable source to confirm this.

"history merge"

I would have shown you the page about history merging, but I noticed that you aren't an admin, so you can't follow any of the instructions there. :-) It's only for fixing cut-and-paste moves, and articles that are merged (in the normal sense of the word) shouldn't be history merged, especially if there are lots of overlapping edits. When you're doing a straight merge of an article, it's sufficient to say "merging text to/from <article name>" in the edit summary. Having said that, I'd be happy to check out any of the pages you wanted history merged. Graham87 11:36, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Kintetsubuffalo! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 6 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 18 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Scouting and Guiding in small islands in Oceania

Hi Chris, it is good that you have moved the Tokelau and Niue articles to Scouting and Guiding in Tokelau and Scouting and Guiding on Niue. I have been looking at these myself and was going to do the move if I could find some information on Guides. These articles are totally unsourced. I have looked hard and I can find no source that Scouting and Guiding on these islands is run by the New Zealand associations. There is no mention on their web sites. I have no evidence that Scouting and Guiding even currently exists on these Islands. The same goes for other Islands. The Scouting and Guiding in Oceania template points Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands and Norfolk Island to Scouting and Guiding in Australia, but that article does not mention them. There is a mention on Scouts Australia and there should perhaps be one on Girl Guides Australia. However, I am fairly sure that there are no Scouts or Guides currently on these islands. Another case is Pitcairn Islands where the template points to The Scout Association but that article in this section does not explicitly mention Pitcairn Island. I am not sure again whether there are actually Scouts or Guides there. It is a worthy aim to comprehensively cover Scouting and Guiding everywhere, but we are floundering around with no sources. We need to address these issues. The hard line would be to delete all articles and links from the template in cases where we have no sources. If we can find poor sources that indicate the connection to Australia, New Zealand or UK, the links should point there, but the Tokelau and Niue articles should be redirects. Where is the best place to discuss these issues? Should I move this discussion to the Scouting Project talk page? --Bduke (Discussion) 21:10, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

American spelling

As a heads up regarding your edit to the Cheddar cheese article, WP:ENGVAR is explicitly applied to an entire article, not to individual sections. "Each article should consistently use the same conventions of spelling, grammar, and punctuation. For example, these should not be used in the same article: center and centre; color and colour..." --McGeddon (talk) 17:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Großdeutschland vs. Grossdeutschland

Well, I'm confused now. Shouldn't it be like in German orthography reform of 1996 ? I have been taught on German language lessons to use ss than ß, so I thought it's correct version, Sir Lothar (talk) 17:03, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Starfleet insignia

Chris, even if he did make them himself, that only makes them derivative works and still non-free. You can't sneak round copyright merely by copying a copyrighted item or image yourself (for obvious reasons). BTW, I do apologise if my previous edit summaries came off as snarky, I do have a tendency to be a bit grumpy about that sort of thing. Cheers, Black Kite 22:12, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

All right, why do we keep going through these edit wars on the Starfleet ranks every few months. Can you someone show me anywhere that the items in these images are copyrighted? Can you both help me find a way to make this right so that the article can have some images in it? Thanks! --Flans44 (talk) 05:44, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey Chris, do you mind having a look at my talk page for this? These braids are from things other than Star Trek. Not sure that Paramount owns them. Thanks. --Flans44 (talk) 22:12, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

GG badge images

Could you point me in the direction of an image where I can see what the trefoil 'spine' looks like so I can replicate it better. The 3rd hand dodgy trace was why I thought it was a cross that hadn't been traced well. With the manual retrace I did it's far easier for me to change separate components now. Once I know what it looks like properly I'll be able to replicate it better. What I'll do as well is when I've finished I'll upload a 'blank' so it can be used and adapted by someone else if you come up with any more. --Fred the Oyster (talk) 18:09, 19 February 2010 (UTC)
