Do not move by copy paste

Please do not move pages by copying and pasting, as it loses the page's history. There is a "Move" function available and it is displayed with the other tools on all article pages. -- Cyrius|✎ 18:18, 4 Jun 2004 (UTC)

All skins should have the page move tool. If yours doesn't, that's a bug and should be reported as one.

As far as you using my alterations to monobook, they're available at User:Cyrius/monobook.css and User:Cyrius/monobook.js. I make no guarantees, warantees, and if it doesn't work I'm not going to help you. It's one of those "use at your own risk" sorts of things. -- Cyrius|✎ 16:09, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

how to pick a piece of the wikipedia

i've been searching this on the faqs. i'm writing a open software and want that in a certain moment it picks displyas information from pages in the wikipedia. i want to control it's appearance, and also add one image if there's one. so three questions:

1-where do i learn how to do it? is it a crawl? shall i use a simple bot or what?

2-well some images are copyrighted. i'm not making money of this soft, how do i know if i can use them?

3-in the end i want to link back to wikipedia. what precautions should i have to avoid bringing a horde of barbarians (i don't know who is using my soft but could be a bunch of crazy teens) who don't know anything about wiki?

thanks. i promise to move everything to the right section after. --Alexandre Van de Sande 16:44, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

I personally can't help you with the technical side, but I can tell you that image use shouldn't be a problem. The vast majority of our images are under the GFDL licence. Some are used with the concept of "fair use", and if we can get away with it, so should you. If you want to play it safe and not have fair-use images at all, then don't use them; they are clearly marked. If you know how to write bots, it should be easy to automate their exclusion.

I wouldn't worry about barbarian hordes. We get huge amounts of traffic from Google already. This isn't an lite thing. If people commit vandalism, we'll just revert it. — Chameleon Main/Talk/Images 17:08, 24 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Hi Avsa. I've moved the above from the village pump as it was time to clear the page. You might find it easier to download the database rather than crawl the site for the content. I would also advise you be wary about the images. Those released under the GFDL will contain a {{GFDL}} tag on the image description page. Others are marked fair use, and many are not tagged at all, so the copyright status is unknown. There is a separate download for images linked to from http://download.wikimedia.org/.

Oscar Niemeyer

Glad you liked the images. It's a nice article, and deserves some images. The site which had the public domain images had some more, in case you need them. Check the image pages for the link to the source. Search for Niemeyer, most of them are PD, others you have to ask the author. About Image:Work of Oscar Niemeyer.jpg: I wasn't quite sure which building that is, but found a similar image titled as Praça da Liberdade. Is this correct? Does this have an english translation? Thanks. And good luck with the featured article nomination. -- Chris 73 Talk 15:12, Aug 22, 2004 (UTC)

Wikitravellers in portuguese

I am searching for contributors to make a portuguese version of wikitravel ( a wiki travel guide)

wikitravel Language_version_policy

Wikitravel:Expeditions

The English Wikipedia is probably not the best place to look for contributors for the Portuguese Wikitravel. Have you tried the Travellers' pub on Wikitravel or the Esplanada on the Portuguese Wikipedia? Angela . 19:50, Sep 7, 2004 (UTC)

Setting up your own wiki

I have a website witch i only have access thru FTP. Is there a way to set up a personal wiki over there?

In fact I am not even trying to set up a real open wiki, but a personal wiki, to use the potential of ease of creating and maintanig pages..

Alexandre van de Sande 10 set 18:22 gmt-4

Alexandre, one person to ask is Anthony DiPierro, who has run his own wiki for some time. I know a number of others here do also, but I can't recall specifics right now (hopefully they identify themselves here or someone else remembers who it is and lists them). I imagine it will get pretty complicated, and it's probably best to discuss it in a talk page (yours or theirs) rather than here. Good luck! Jwrosenzweig 21:28, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Different Wiki software can be found on the article wiki software. Your website will need to support scripting languages for them to work. There is also MediaWiki, the Wiki that Wikipedia uses. I sometimes use it myself. Norm 23:21, 10 Sep 2004 (UTC)

If you want something that isn't as complicated as MediaWiki (which requires some SQL administration experience), try OddMuse. (Note to self: write article on OddMuse!) OddMuse supports free linking (i.e., [[article link]] instead of ArticleLink) and most other aspects of the MediaWiki syntax; it's just a giant Perl script, so it's simple to set up; it's mature and the EmacsWiki runs on it. One interesting application is disabling edits for non-priveleged users and then making yourself the only priveleged user. A little CSS to make the editing tools invisible and voila! A website that looks like a website, but is edited as a Wiki.

The website is http://www.oddmuse.org. If I ever run my website as a Wiki, that's what I'm going to use. --Ardonik.talk() 00:57, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)

There is a section at Wikibooks on how to start a wiki that you might find helpful. Angela . 02:26, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)

Excellent writeup on I am Cuba!

Fascinating... I had no idea! I hope you don't mind, but I've cleaned it up. It seems a bit unfinished, however. Are you going to keep going? If you are, I am quite happy to help with copyeditting. Perhaps we can collaborate on this one together and try to make it a featured article? - Ta bu shi da yu 12:43, 1 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Nice Garamond image!

I really like the Garamond comparison! I have two questions:

Did you intend to license it under GPL? The relationship between GPL and GFDL is unclear, so Wikipedia prefers GFDL images. GPL applied to images really doesn't make much sense, since they're not "software".
Could you make the files you used to create it available (excluding the fonts, of course)? That would facilitate future editing of the image (see User:Chmod007/Alternate_version_proposal for a draft of a policy / guideline on this. Comments welcome!) — David Remahl 05:49, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC)

shaun blair

I stumbled upon Wikipedia tonight by doing a random search for a topic mentioned in my friend's e-mail.

I am very happy to have encountered what seems to be a meeting place for thinkers across the world. Having been out of college for several years now, I find myself searching for intellectual discussions. I also love to write & hope to contribute as motivation inspires me.

I work a lot of hours so I don't know how much I will be contributing to the site, but people like you are making it very valuable resource. You should keep contributing because you seem to really support what the site is about. Your article choices seem to be varied and interesting and that's what makes a good encyclopedia -- or wikipedia. And the way you invite others to participate in what you've provided is great.

Thanks for your contributions and happy wikiwiki. Shauney

Alexandre Van de Sande to shaun blair

Well thanks a lot.

I understand what you mean by "searching for intellectual discussions". I personally think wikipedia is the most intelligent thing invented in the last a hundred years, and the most influential potential since the invention of freedom of speech.

When I want to know about a topic (even something that has recently happened), and want to read a unbiased, complete report about the subject, I come here.

Rare are persons who've got free time today, but I do suggest you to come by wikipedia often. Remember that you do not need to write a complete article to contribute, I have had many positive when editing an article to write one or two sentences, or simply to rewrite something.

Wikipedia is a work of love from those who love knowledge to the rest of the world.

Image resizing

Hi. About the resizing of images: you listed your images as frame, i.e. [[Image:MyImage.jpg|frame|CAPTION]]. This frame displays all images in the original size without a border around, and the caption is the tool tip. If you want to resize the images, either remove the frame tag and add a size 200px or so, to get a resized image without frame, and the caption will be the tooltip, or add thumb to get a default size thumbnail with a frame, which can also be made non-default size using 200px or so. See Wikipedia:Picture tutorial and Wikipedia:Extended image syntax. I took the liberty of thumbnailing one image on your user page to show you, hope you dont mind, and of course you can change it back anytime, its your page after all -- Chris 73 Talk 23:42, Nov 16, 2004 (UTC)

Image copyright tag?

Howdy! I'm here because of the Humungous Image Tagging Project, and I'm curious about the copyright status of an image you uploaded. The picture in question is Image:14-bis-wth-air-ballon-aid.jpg, and it doesn't currently have an image copyright tag on it. If you could tag it with something to let us know what the copyright is, that would be great. A couple of common tags are {{gfdl}}, if you made the picture and release it under the GFDL, or {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use. For a full page of these, you can go to the image copyright tags page. If none of this makes sense, you can leave a message describing the coypright status on my talk page, and I'll tag it for you. Thanks much! ^_^ --Sparky the Seventh Chaos 00:03, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

Image:Stand on the rain.jpg

Image:Stand on the rain.jpg lacks information on its copyright status. Perhaps you could change that. For example, if you'd like to license it under the GNU Free Documentation License 1.2, just add "{{GFDL 1.2}}". —Vespristiano 00:10, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

if you knew quebec rock scene

you would not make such arse comment on Cobaye Molotov sa you don't even bothered to chec anything else than google. come here in montreal and you'll see, not every band can afford to record and upload music here, and recognition outside quebec(4milion french people surrounded by 400 millions english people that dont care about french music) is quite impossible verify before you tell me its the "wrong way guys", you are the wrong way in that

It is a pity you did not leave a way for me o answer you Thierry, as you also misunderstood me. I by no ways am trying to diminish the importance of your band in quebec, but you have to understand that my vote in wikipedia for removing any cobaye molotov reference was about wikipedia not your band. Wikipedia is a large internet encyclopedia that needs to be able to check it's sources by anyone, and you've wrote an article whose veracity could not be checked. I live in Rio de Janeiro, and for me, the difference betwen a band whose songs I cannot hear and a non-existent band is none. That's wikipedia, not the world. Allow me to share my views about the world. And about the world of music.

Outside wikipedia I am a design student surrounded by friends who have great music bands. Creative, talented, but who cannot grow up because in rio de janeiro we are surrounded by 160 million brazilian who dont care about music in portuguese. According to brazilian law, only the first 600 top selling artist are able to gain any money due to copyright. And most of them are on the scene for 30 years and won't let any space for new upcoming bands.

But why should you care about the media. What I wanted to tell you is that you do not need them, you 've got the internet. Read about Creative commons and how some guys are making a whole revolution in the way you hear music. Search for Irate, and gnomoradio and see how some guys are creating new ways to make small artists find its listeners. Join this music revolution.

Man, you really don't want an article in wikipedia, it's useless for you. Make a blog, it's free. Make your music avaiable to everyone, it's free.

Featured article star image problem

Hello Avsa. I like your fractal star images, currently being used in the "Featured article" template. But the single "star point"

Hello Avsa, could you please merge the content of meta:Lilypond implementation into meta:Music markup and its discussion page and turn the other page into a redirect? I think it's better to concentrate discussion about this topic on a single page and meta:Music markup is already well developped (as well as the MediaWiki Lilypond patch, I hope). thank you :-) --Elian 19:20, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your message; I am interested in having Lilypond used in Wikipedia for a while (because I use it very often as a musician and music teacher) and so do appreciate your text and want it to be read by other french musicians (or interested in musical topics) working on Wikipedia. By the way, as I am not sure to have well understood, is it available right now on every wikipedias or is it still a project ? Pe.nataf

It exists, but not here. There are some wikis out there that use it right now, so the technology is ready. I want to push a discussion and a further vote to bring it to all wikimedia projects.--Alexandre Van de Sande 19:47, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Ocean map

Firstly, I must say that Image:Oceans.png looks lovely. I have just one potential nitpick; it looks to me like the body of water under the "Dead Sea" label is actually the Caspian Sea. The Dead Sea is very tiny and probably doesn't show up at all on that map. I'd fix it myself, but since I don't have access to your original Adobe files it'd be hard for me to match the text's style nicely. Bryan 06:01, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I hate to pester, but the oceans.png map still has errors on it (see Image talk:Oceans.png for details). Could you perhaps post the Adobe illustrator source file so one of us can fix it, if you don't have the time yourself? Bryan 07:24, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Images that you uploaded

You may or may not be aware that there is some development work being carried out at Wikipedia:Template standardisation. A number of the offerings there (including mine) make use of the barnstar images that you created for use with Featured Articles, etc. (Example.) Is it possible that you could create scaled-down versions of these images (to 50 px) for use in these templates? Cheers. Noisy | Talk 08:55, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for responding so quickly. As you guessed, scaling is no problem. However, if these images are to be used across many articles, then I think there is a concern that the image servers will be overloaded. I don't understand the technicalities, but if the icons were reproduced and stored at the smaller size (taking fewer bytes), then each download of the image would be less of a load. The comment was raised here. I think that as the scale is compressed, each image loses sharpness as well. Does this explain the problem? I understand about the loss of sharpness, but don't understand the wiki mechanics so well. Noisy | Talk 15:43, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)

Lightsabers

Hi Avsa,

While I understand why you moved the "Lightsabers in reality" to the top of the page I would disagree with the reasoning simply because I would believe that someone looking up Lightsabers on Wikipedia is more interested in the story behind them rather than their appearence on screen. Of course that is debateable however if you look at all the other articles on the various aspects of Star Wars (Category:Star_Wars) you'll see that they all place the subject in the Star Wars context before talking about their place in reality. Would you object if I moved the reality section back to the end of the article? -- Lochaber 10:23, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I answered your opinion on the talk:lightsabers. Try to talk about a page on the talk page, not on user's page, so everyone may join the conversation. It's ok to leave just a note on user's page as "hey, i got a question about lightsabers, take a look" --19:46, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Indeed, I would have moved the discussion to the talk page after you answered however since you re-ordered it unilaterally I thought it would be best to question the issue with you first because well, no-one had seen fit to make the change before so it was reasonable to assume that the wider community didn't have a problem with having the fictional part first. Anyway, I will continue discussion on the talk page. -- Lochaber 09:20, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(Comming from the history of the world page)

I too think that the image is very well made. However, to my eyes, Image:Map-of-human-migrations.jpg is much more difficult to understand than Image:Human mtDNA migration.png. Of course, now I've rotated the glove around in my head and flattened the countries, so I can tell what's what, but it's not immediately obvious. I wonder if the elegant feel of the map could be placed on a more standard globe projection such as the one in the second image? Or are projections centered on the equator no longer the standard? — Asbestos | Talk 17:10, 19 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the letters refer to the haplogroup of the population [1]

Thanks. All I did was change the brightness/contrast in The GIMP. I suggest you get it, and play around with it if you can. Its free, and cross platform. The image as it is has too dark greens and uses black for the main path. A contrast is needed between path and background - the background must shift a bit ligher.

Pic of the day

Hi Alexandre,

Just to let you know that your illustration Image:Oceans.png is up for Pic of the Day tomorrow. You can check and improve the associated caption at Wikipedia:Picture of the day/September 22, 2005. There is a little confusion on the current caption in that it discusses five oceans, whilst four are labelled in the diagram. However, the subsequent paragraphs in the Oceans article don't help to much as the subtle distinctions over the Southern Ocean and the Arctic Ocean gets a little too complicated to easily fit into the caption. -- Solipsist 06:33, 21 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your Image:Color_cones.png was a great help in understanding HLS color space. However, I think the H arrow points in the wrong direction. The arrow points from purple (H = 300°) through blue (H = 240°) to teal (H = 180°). It would be more accurate if either the arrow's direction was reversed or if the discs were flipped either horizontally or vertically. Parabolis
