Vandalism reversions of Down syndrome

How do you get to them so fast? Do you ride your watchlist super-hard or is there some kind of special software that's alerting you when it changes?--Kchase T 03:41, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Queen Beatrix.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Queen Beatrix.PNG. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oden 01:09, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:DYK

It's quite backlogged and unless updated soon several otherewise acceptable entries will probably be unused. savidan^{(talk) (e@)} 22:13, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On December 18, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Teh Heathen Chinee, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Great to see you back and about in DYK again Brian! Blnguyen (bananabucket) 08:11, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DNA molecule glitch

Hi, your rotating DNA molecule has flashing glitch in the image; see: History of the molecule. Please fix if you can. Thanks: --Sadi Carnot 14:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not seeing that glitch on my side. If you download the file to your computer and view it in your browser, do you see the glitch? It could be due to resizing. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-12-18 15:15Z

I don't think it is resizing issues, it is even blimping, every 3 seconds, on the file page: Image:ADN animation.gif. Ask someone else if they see the blibs. All the other movement images I see work fine. --Sadi Carnot 15:23, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It’s been blipping for about a month or so now. It was working fine when I started the history of the molecule article on 09/19/06. I use Yahoo, but I don’t know how to run that type of image off of my desktop; what type of program would I use? --Sadi Carnot 16:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see the glitch reported by Sadi Carnot at 9 second intervals after 2/3 of a rotation. When I download the file at http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/ADN_animation.gif, I got only 83 frames and an error message when I opened the file saying some of the file may be missing. Downloading at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:ADN_animation.gif, I got all 120 frames. It looks like some sort of server software problem, probably should be reported if others can verify this behavior, but will get a low priority since it doesn't affect the display of the file on an article page.

Bestiarii

If the information is from the reference sources, then the tags to verify sources can be removed, that's fine.

Bear in mind though, when a reference source is generically cited, it can be hard for others to verify contents and to be sure which facts in the article are genuinely in that source, and which are added by later editors and need separate verification. In that case it's better to footnote individual facts, and note them in the footnote as from that source, which allows clarity which statements are verified, which are not, in future.

The style issues, of course, are separate, "Execution" is more encyclopedic a term.

I've therefore gone back to the article, and re-edited to allow for that information. FT2 ^{(Talk | email)} 16:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

a request from User: Vaoverland

Hi! I have been working on Wikipedia: WikiProject Virginia and several other projects with User: No1lakersfan most of this past year. He is now a high school senior hoping to gain admittance to one of Virginia's public university for the Fall 2007 semester. Following advice, he has done maintenance and reference adding work, as well spending time on articles. He is a good collaborator and I believe he would enhance our efforts with WP as an administrator and use the additional tools and powers wisely. Since you know me from our past communications, I wanted to request that you consider entering a vote, hopefully in support, if you agree with my judgment and recommendation at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/No1lakersfan 2.

Please feel free to communicate with me on my Talk page at User talk: Vaoverland if you have any questions or reservations. Best wishes for a safe and happy holiday season. Thanks, Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia Vaoverland 22:21, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unspecified source for Image:500zorkmid.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:500zorkmid.gif. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 17:28, 1 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ISO 8601 signature

How do you get your signature to work? I copied the code from your monobook.js, but when I save it, it replaces {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}-{{subst:CURRENTDAY2}} {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}Z with 2007-01-04 01:19Z , making my signature permanently have that date. Help? -- BBlackmoor ^(talk) 01:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply. Like I said, I did copy the signature block from your monobook.js to mine. However, when I save it, it replaces {{subst:CURRENTYEAR}}-{{subst:CURRENTMONTH}}-{{subst:CURRENTDAY2}} {{subst:CURRENTTIME}}Z with the current date, making my signature permanently have that date. -- -- BBlackmoor ^(talk) 20:23, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's working! I greatly appreciate your time and patience. Thank you. -- BBlackmoor ^(talk) • 2007-01-08 03:58Z
