Hey, Numerator. Greetings from Passaic, NJ. Do remove the picture from your signature per WP:SIG. It puts an unnecessary strain on our servers, delays page loading, and is generally annoying. Thanks. - CrazyRussiantalk/contribs/email20:57, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen on Wikipedia how you've edited images (usually pictures of Bibles) to adjust the perspective, for example the image of the Revised Standard Version.
I've uploaded four or five Bible book pictures, and they look like they need their perspective adjusted too. Which program do you use to do it?
To answer your question, I use Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8 to adjust the perspective. About, the images you uploaded, would you please list them here. Thank you. —Black and WhiteUSERTALKCONTRIBS01:00, 7 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I'm not too familiar with all of the Wikipedia markup, but the images are:
Wow, thanks, they look more professional now. I especially like Image:The Message- The Bible in Contemporary Language (2002).jpg. By the way, is there a reason why you converted Image:Strongs.JPG into a PNG file with transparency? I assume there is a technical benefit (that I'm not aware of), but I noticed that it's now increased the file size by a factor of eight.
Secondly, is there a reason why some Bible pages (not just on the pages we've worked on but others) have very large image thumbnails but others are smaller? Do you know if anyone has ever talked about making a standard template for Bible pages?
You may also want to join WikiProject Bible (WP:BIBLE) to discuss your thoughts on Biblical articles. I might join. You can express your ideas and draw this issue under light in a larger WikiProject, WikiProject Christianity.
Hi. Just a note. Per the math style manual, HTML formulas are acceptable, and even may be preferrable if LaTEX formulas end up as PNG images inline. So while it is good that you TEXified slope, it may not be a good idea to spend a lot of time of converting existing math articles to LaTeX, not until MathML is adopted anyway. Just thought I would let you know. :) You can reply here if you have comments. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 22:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the comment. I replaced the formula with TEX because it would have then looked uniform. I thought that some TEX here and some HTML there would look disorganized; so, I made them all into TEX as organized and best as possible. —Black and WhiteUSERTALKCONTRIBS22:21, 15 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please look at MSN Encarta and Britannica before using the word "encyclopedic" so carelessly. Both of them call their article "United States," because they follow the same policy as Wikipedia—they use the most common name of something for the article name. Also, please read the official text of the U.S. Constitution [1]; it uses United States about 50 times to refer to the United States of America. --Coolcaesar03:42, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, looking back to the policy, I was going to consider to change my vote. However, next time, please leave this comment on the page the vote takes place, so that it may benefit other voters. —BlackandWhite (TALKCONTRIBS) 01:39, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for uploading Image:JPEG_artifacts_in_Image-Dubrovnik_edit.jpg.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

I have had a long play with this and come up with something that works. You might want to adjust the final size of the Georgia font to get the two fonts to line up exactly.
I am not entirely happy with my solution, because I do not know why the new version is working and the old wasn't. The original did have a rectangle object in the XML which seemed to cover all the text. I removed this in the XML editor but it still didn't work. I also noted that the Georgia text was actually two parts (the letter "a" and the rest of the text); changing this made no difference. In the end I removed all your original text and put new text in. This seemed to fix it. The only thing I can see is that the Inkscape said the original text was "linked flowed text" whilst the new text is just "text". I do not know what the difference is.
There are a couple of other things I discovered:
Whilst inkscape displayed the original correctly neither Wikipeida (which seems to convert it to PNG), Internet Explorer (opening the file directly from my local disk) or GIMP (which converts it to a bitmap) seemed to be able to display it correctly. Suggesting Inkscape might be the culprit (or at least doing something fancy not supported elsewhere).
The new version looks about right in Wikipedia (with both fonts being the same length). However, in Inkscape the line of Georgia text is distinctly longer. This time the problem looks to be Wikipedia as opening the file directly in IE or GLIPS Graffiti Editor both produce exactly what Inkscape shows.
As Wikipedia seems to be rendering the images to PNG I will try and see if the render engine is available to download. This will at least avoid the need to keep uploading the files to Wikipedia to see if they work.
Have had a quick look round and text in SVG does seem to be a problem. Batik seems to offer a fairly full SVG implementation and refuses to open the original SVG images because of the flow element. I can't find what Wikipedia is using to convert the images but Batik is mentioned as a possible method to convert from SVG to PNG (which is what Wikipdia seems to do). Looking a W3C there is version 1.1 of SVG which doesn't mention Flowing text. Version 1.2 (which is still draft) does have flowing text. My best guess is that Inkscape has implemented the draft version 1.2 but most other packages haven't. The trick seems to be to draw text in Inkscape either by just clicking where you want the tick (rather than streching out a text box) or drawing the text and selecting Text-Unflow from the menus. Then test it in Batik. --MarkS (talk) 20:34, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
I have a suggestion for the WikiProject, and I am coming to you because I do not understand the format of the suggestion mechanism. Please paste the following paragraphs in the appropriate location:
I would like to propose creating a list of related articles like we have at WikiProject Wisconsin and WikiProject NASCAR. I prefer the NASCAR way because it is easier to navigate to the correct talk pages.
I have experience in helping setup Wikipedia:WikiProject IROC, and I would be happy to help out this new WikiProject in the same capacity. I have am authorized to use an AWB, which has proven effective on mundane tasks, especially double redirects. -Royalbroil20:04, 13 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading Image:Matthew West.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.
For more information on using images, see the following pages:
This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 22:11, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed that you have reverted most of my heading edits for the India Pentecostal Church of God article. Under the level 1 heading, "Expansion internationally", there is a level 2 heading called North America. What doesn't make sense is why isn't the level 2 heading "IPC North American Family Conference" under "North America"? Also, the level 3 heading "United States" should be under "North America" and not "IPC North American Family Conference". Lastly, because the Eastern and Midwest Region is in the United States, it would only make sense that the level 2 headings "Eastern Region" and "Midwest Region" should be under "United States".
What I tried to do was only to correct a few mistakes that were made (for example: ===Eastern Region==; several heading where like that), not knowing whether you meant those headings as level 1, 2 or 3. If you compare the versions, you will know exactly what I mean.
Now it flows better. It does make sense. Appreciate what you do.
By the way:
THE FOLLOWING IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF IPC ARTICLE ARE NOT VERIFIABLE OR FACT BASED, JUST SOMEONE'S OPINION...NEED TO BE REMOVED.
(However, the percentage of Christians in its mother state, Kerala has declined from 25% to 18% of total population making it the third largest religion in Kerala. The Pentecostal movement largely converted most of its members from Catholicism, Mar Thoma, Jacobitism and Eastern Orthodox. Due to the large rate of conversion in Kerala and throughout India, many opposing parties blame the organization for disrupting the local cultures of villages and tampering with ages-old customs, such as marriage traditions.) 74.103.8.3313:14, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, 74.103.8.33. I did see my errors in the headings (added an extra equal sign a few times). About the paragraph, I will try to look into it. Also, this article needs citations, although it's kind of hard to get websites; however, I know there are books on it. —BlackandWhite (TALKCONTRIBS) 19:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I unfortunately had to remove the image that you added to his article. The flickr contributor has the photograph tagged as Non-commercial, which is not allowed in Wikipedia. The flickr contributor also has the photograph tagged No derivatives, which is also not allowed in Wikipedia. I don't make the rules. I tagged the image for speedy deletion.

If you created this media file and want to use it on Wikipedia, you may re-upload it (or amend the image description if it has not yet been deleted) and use the license {{GFDL-self}} to license it under the GFDL, or {{cc-by-sa-2.5}} to license it under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike license, or use {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain.
If you did not create this media file but want to use it on Wikipedia, there are two ways to proceed. First, you may choose one of the fair use tags from this list if you believe one of those fair use rationales applies to this file. Second, you may want to contact the copyright holder and request that they make the media available under a free license.
The reason that your image is listed is because the cover of the book is copyrighted like every other part of the book, so it is a type of copyfraud (not to be read as a deliberate attempt at copyfraud on anyone's part). It is not listed because of your licensing. In other words, the image never should have been uploaded because you can't upload images of the cover of a copyrighted book. Royalbroil04:20, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Look at the licensing on the other image in the article (Image:Title Page to RSV.jpg. It has a fair use license. You should change the licensing on your image to that license. Both images need to have a fair use rationale added to them or they should be listed for deletion. Please add the rationale for both so they don't have to be deleted. Royalbroil04:25, 18 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I'm the guy that actually started it, but I haven't done much on Wikipedia for months. I am glad that the project is getting bigger and I think that is largely in part of your participation in the project. For that, I want to thank you. Concerning the issue, I do have one important network in the New York/New Jersey area: Star 99.1 (www.star991fm). You can get their station log to www.yes.com/#WAWZ .

After discussion, all of the Christian music WikiProjects have been rolled into a single WikiProject with taskforces. WikiProject CCM has become a task force. I didn't place the blue infobox, but I subst'ed it because of an error. Royalbroil01:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's nice to see the various Christian music projects merging. I'm not as dedicated as I previously was with working on Wikipedia, but I'll gladly help whenever I'm on. Black and White (talk) 21:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on File:Times New Roman versus Georgia.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

is missing a description and/or other details on its image description page. If possible, please add this information. This will help other editors make better use of the image, and it will be more informative to readers.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F6 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.
