Thanks for adding the picture to the Worcester, Massachusetts article. It's an excellent addition. I expanded the caption to identify the building as City Hall, based on my memory and your edit summary. JamesMLane 15:28, 16 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I added one sentence on Lake Quinsigamond to the Worcester article, and someone else did a stub on the lake, but you've now written a magnificent article on it. Naturally, I couldn't resist editing it a little, but I didn't find any significant problems. Well done! JamesMLane 06:05, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting the Lake Quinsig article after me. I can't believe that I left so many mistakes in the article; its embarassing, really. Ah well, I suppose such things happen when you're editing late at night whilst half-asleep : ). I put a lot of research into that article, and I'm really proud at how it turned out. Thanks again! EagleOne 01:53, Jul 22, 2004 (UTC)

The effort you put into researching the article certainly showed. As for the typos, etc., I find that, as a general rule, even someone who's wide awake is ill-suited to proofread copy that he or she has written. The author knows what's supposed to be there, and human beings tend to see what they expect to see. That's one virtue of the "many eyeballs" on Misplaced Pages. I was honored to be the second set of eyeballs for such a fine article. JamesMLane 04:57, 22 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Captions

Many thanks for the help with the Calvin and Hobbes caption! I hope you don't mind I went in and made it a full sentence. (That seems to liven things up a bit and make it clearer for people who read the first paragraph and the captions only.) Thanks again! I'd sure appreciate your help with some other captions. -- ke4roh 10:12, Jul 23, 2004 (UTC)

The Humungous Image Tagging Project

Hi. You've helped with the Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Wiki Syntax, so I thought it worth alerting you to the latest and greatest of Misplaced Pages fixing project, User:Yann/Untagged Images, which is seeking to put copyright tags on all of the untagged images. There are probably, oh, thirty thousand or so to do (he said, reaching into the air for a large figure). But hey: they're images ... you'll get to see lots of random pretty pictures. That must be better than looking for at at and the the, non? You know you'll love it. best wishes --Tagishsimon (talk)

Image Tag Needed

Hi. This image uploaded by you needs an image tag Image:Worcester,MA,FranklinAndMain-June7,2004.jpg. Thanks Evil Monkey → Talk 06:50, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

Thanks for the catch. I've tagged it PD-self. -- EagleOne 19:55, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing

Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Misplaced Pages's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:

• Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
• Multi-Licensing Guide
• Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

Option 1

I agree to ] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

OR

Option 2

I agree to ] all my contributions to any ], county, or city article as described below:

{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace "{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}" with "{{MultiLicensePD}}". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

MB vs MiB

wrt Half-Life 2: one MB is a megabyte, or 1000 bytes. One MiB is a mebibyte, or 1024 bytes. In computing usually mebibytes are used, and thus this should be abbreviated MiB, not MB. The only exception I know of are harddisk sellers: they measure disk size in MB, not MiB, and therefore the disks are smaller than some users think. HTH, Jordi·✆ 12:42, 30 Dec 2004 (UTC)

With a name like yours...

you might be interested in - or at least mildly amused by - Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion/Eaglone Security Community. :) Samaritan 00:26, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hah! What a coincidence. No relation, believe me! Thanks for the heads up. EagleOne 03:18, Feb 8, 2005 (UTC)

Image tags

Thanks for cleaning up the polishpd and sovietpd tags. Those had been bugging me for a while. Consistency is good. – Quadell 20:17, Feb 14, 2005 (UTC)

Return of the Untagged Image project

You were kind enough to contribute to the Misplaced Pages:Untagged images project; I beg to draw your attention to part 2 of the project - there are about 12,000 more images in need of tagging. Any assistance you could provide would be most welcome. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

v artillery

yea, you can remove it, theres no use for it, it's old.--Zxcvbnm 14:16, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Image:Noria - Sylvia Drive.jpg

The image is not "a screenshot of a copyrighted movie or television program". It is however a screenshot of a game, being a frame of the video that plays during the song (it appears in the middle of Image:IIDX - Machine.jpg, between the falling notes on each side). --SPUI (talk) 00:34, 13 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Screenshot tag?

I've noticed that you've been removing this tag from images I've uploaded; is it a redudant tag now? If so, why does it still exist? Or had I just duplicated the message?--Cyberjunkie 02:43, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ah, I see you're the one who uploaded the 'Fromthetorrens' image. First, if you took this picture, let me congratulate you on your work. It's a really nice image, maybe even featured pic material. But it just doesn't look like a screenshot to me, so I removed the tag. If it is a screenshot,the feel free to re-add the tag, but please also add some information on the image's source.

I personally feel that Template:Screenshot is an obsolete tag, now that we have 5 subject-specific tags (film-, game-, software-, web- and wikipedia-screenshot). I've made it my mission to recategorize the images in Category:Fair use screenshots with the appropriate subject tag; that's how I stumbled upon your image.

Generally, if you have a tag (such as screenshot, promophoto, etc.) then you don't ned to include the fairuse tag. Otherwise, as you have said, you're just duplicating the message. – EagleOne 03:15, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

No, I'm not due any credit for the picture. Unfortunately, getting about to take photographs is not something I've managed to accomplish, so the best I can contribute is screenshots. I had labelled them screenshot, because they are screenshots of television broadcasts. I also labelled them free use because at the time I uploaded them, there was an ambiguity about what a screenshot was - at least that's what I recall. However, I note your point that, as screenshots, I should have recorded the image source. I will attempt to set about doing so in the near-future.--Cyberjunkie 04:21, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Actually, perhaps a Template:television-screenshot could be created to eliminate any vagueness, and confirm Template:Screenshot as a redundant label.--Cyberjunkie 04:27, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Template:film-screenshot already covers television sources, not just feature films as the name would imply. — EagleOne\ 05:13, Mar 20, 2005 (UTC)

Okay, I'll use that one then. Thankyou.--Cyberjunkie 05:20, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

House article

Good edits on the House M.D. article .. just wondering, do you know what's wrong with the image there? It's not displaying but I checked the image file and it looks ok? ---FoodMarket 14:06, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Not sure... it looks like this was one of the images affected by the hardware failure. It seems stranmge that some images were knocked offline by this failure, but others weren't. Oh well, I guess we'll find out more about this failure in the coming days. — EagleOne\ 16:43, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Your image has been listed for deletion.

Your image (Image:EliVance.jpg) has been listed in Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion, it is an (orphan), and has been replaced by a large image with a better naming convention (Image:HalfLife2 EliVance.jpg). Head to the page to have your say if you intend to keep the image. ++ 25 20:59, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC) ++

SocEur template

G'day, EagleOne, thanks for the message. I'm still very new at this, so I'd appreciate any advice.

I emailed the webmaster specifically to ask permission for WikiPedia, and it was granted-with-credit in his reply (that's why it won't be found on the website!). I don't know whether the site-owner would have said "okay" if I'd asked for them for commercial use, but I can ask.

But while I'm leaving messages, I have a question. I've used SocEur templates for Christian Vieri and Radhi Jaidi. When I finished uploading the first image (C Vieri) I emailed the soccer-europe owner to ask him if he considered that sufficient. As you can see if you visit the Vieri entry, he did not, and he added a copyright notice to the caption. I don't know if copyright notices in captions is permissable on WikiPedia.

If so, (and if it isn't a non-commercial licence), I'll add a note to the template telling people using the images to put a copyright notice in the caption as well. If not, I'll have to delete the images that're there.

Cheers, --MarkGallagher 01:36, 30 July 2005 (UTC)

Ok, I see. Generally we do not allow images by permission only, as those tend to have restrictions on commercial use. In keeping with the "💕" theme, the higher-ups recently anounced a ban on non-commercial use images; if these images turn out to be non-comm-use, then we'll have to delete them and find free alternatives.

Yes, copyright notices are acceptable in photo captions. It is all about how you interpret the "with atrribution" part of the license; some require a notice just on the image description page, other require a notice with every use (that is, whenever the pic is used in an article). If you intend to upload many more images from this site, then I suggest modifying the template to include a copyright notice, a la "Image copyright (©) http://soccer-europe.com/".

While we're on the subject of modifying templates, may I suggest that you put a link to the license in the template itself? You could put the text on your user_talk page (or a subpage). Just make sure to get the webmaster's permission to post the email online before you do so; he/she may not want to have their personal correspondence available for everyone to see!

Happy editing, — EagleOne\ 23:43, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the welcome! Worcesterite looks like such a crazy word when you see it in print! - orioneight (talk) 01:43, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Worcester, Massachusetts - external links

Before we get into an edit war over external links (which, by the way, I modified to those I believe are actually relevant to the article), there are some questions that I need answered to convince me that the links that I eliminated should be in the Worcester article:

1. If the links are available in other articles, what special significance do they have concerning Worcester (and hence justify their need to be in the Worcester article)? Merely providing more publicity for a particular organization by placing it in several articles is a very bad reason for I don't believe Misplaced Pages should be a link farm (a search engine can easily do the job).
2. Do the links have information about Worcester overall that isn't/can't be covered by the article itself?

I hope to have this issue resolved before it escalates. Pentawing 06:23, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

I must admit I acted rather rashly when I reverted your edits. Your deletions seem to be consistent with the Ext. links sections of other city articles. I won't contest the links that you deleted. — EagleOne\ 16:33, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

King of the Hill

Thanks for the contribution on King of the Hill over at wikiquote. I totally overlooked the "fitty". Sometimes it is hard to make out what Cotton is saying.--Guitarist6987876 20:26, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Tags on Image:ViewCVS.png

Hello. I'm a bit confused as to why you have replaced the existing {{software-screenshot}} with {{mac-software-screenshot}} and {{web-screenshot}}.

The second one I can sort of understand, but the screenshot is not of a website. It is of a piece of software that just happens to have a web interface.

The first one I don't understand at all. Ignoring the fact that you've tagged it again as a type of software despite the web tag, what makes you think this is Mac software? --TheParanoidOne 11:29, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi ParanoidOne, I tagged that image with mac-software-screenshot primarily because of the two interface elements at the bottom of the screen: the listbox and the button. Generally I tag any webpage screenshot with both the web-screenshot and software-screenshot tags, unless it contains absolutely no interface elements (including scrollbars, status bars, tabs, menubars, toolbars, etc.). When we license an image, we have to take into account everything in the image, including the look and feel of the software interface elements.

Why specifically mac-software-screenshot, you ask? Because the look-and-feel of the interface elements in the image is reminiscent of Mac OS X, thus the mac-specific tag. — EagleOne\ 18:42, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

OK. So for the first point, perhaps a {{web-software-screenshot}} template might be appropriate for software that only has a web interface. Saves having to use two templates which a) cause clutter and b) aren't quite correct.

For the second point, that classification method seems illogical to me. The software itself is not running on an a mac as far as I know. Most likely it's some form of unix (Sourceforge would have more information). The screenshot itself was not taken on a mac. It's a screenshot of Opera on Windows and just happens to have a mac-like skin applied. Tagging things based purely on appearance just doesn't seem right to me. I understand that {{screenshot}} is being deprecated, but what's wrong with just {{software-screenshot}}? I'm going to revert the changes for the moment, and suggest the creation of web-software-screenshot at the Image copyright tags page. --TheParanoidOne 20:53, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Source needed for Image:Stockxchng internet browsers.jpg

Hi, I tagged this image as {{no source}}. The summary says that it is from stock.xchng, but that itsn't enough. Could you provide a source URL for this image so that I can reclassify it? Thanks, — EagleOne\ 04:01, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, I've added the tag. -- user:zanimum

Source for Image:Blairjsmithfuneral.jpg

Hi -- Unfortunately I don't have the source. I was not the person who originally uploaded the file; as I recall I only reverted it when somebody vandalized it somehow. Greyfedora 02:59, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Apologies for deleting comment

I just wanted to give my sincerest apologies for doing something absolutely retarded. (I assume the reason was when I saved my added comment as a text file of a whole section on another computer and then copy and pasted the text after clicking "edit this page" instead of "Edit" beside the section. Of course, I just had to be ignorant enough to not realize the chunk of text missing at the top before I clicked the "Save Page" and then clicked the X at the top-right almost instantly, certainly before I had a chance to see what was missing.) I hope you don't feel that reading this was a waste, but if you do, you can bitch at me and I'll never do it again. --70.25.168.90 06:23, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Not a problem. Just be a little more careful next time. — EagleOne\ 22:31, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

Pulled that pic from starwars.com Encyclopeida. Seems to be copyrighted, but as you long as you mention where it came from it seems to be fine.

Hi, I uploaded that image over a year and a half ago (may 2004) and cannot recall where I got it from. My apologies & have a happy new year :)--Rangi 10:27, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Low value links

Hi David, a few days ago you reverted my edit to this page. I did nothing but delete the low-value links per the MoS. Why did you revert my edit? — EagleOne\ 17:52, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

I disagree that year links are low value. dml 22:29, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Year links, as a general rule, add very little information to an article. As such, I will continue to remove them wherever I find them (except for full date links). However, I do not want to get into an edit war over this, so I will leave the A&P article alone. — EagleOne\ 21:04, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Vote for naming convention

I noticed that you added a comment to a defunct poll. I have reverted your changes to the poll though your comments and votes are appreciated at the ongoing poll. Thanks, --Reflex Reaction (talk)• 18:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

My apologies. The MoS directed me to the archived poll, and I didn't stop to read through the entire page before I made my edits. Thank you for pointing me to the right page. — EagleOne\ 18:35, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
