Orphaned non-free media (Image:Emmabook.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Emmabook.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 19:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello Booyabazooka, I have granted rollback rights to your account. The reason for this is that, after a review of some of your contributions, I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended use of reverting vandalism: I do not believe you will abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Image copyright problem with Image:Garbage disposal diagram.svg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:Garbage disposal diagram.svg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 05:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Image help

Hi - Is there any chance you could create a version of Image:Monty_tree.svg that's conditional on the location of the car, rather than the user's pick? Something like this:

Initial car placement / | \ / | \ 1/3 / 1/3 | 1/3 \ / | \ Car / | \ location: Door 1 Door 2 Door 3 | | | 1| 1| 1| Player | | | picks: Door 1 Door 1 Door 1 /\ | | 1/2 / \ 1/2 1| 1| / \ | | Host / \ | | opens: Door 2 Door 3 Door 3 Door 2 Total probability: 1/6 1/6 1/3 1/3

Stay: car car goat goat

Switch: goat goat car car

Tree listing the probability of every possible outcome (given the player initially picks door 1)

I'm responding to Wikipedia:Featured article review/Monty Hall problem and have found references that present a decision tree, but they pretty much all select on the doors and car location rather than car/goatA/goatB. I'd actually like to replace the Solution section with the one at Monty Hall problem/draft#Solution, and replace the conditional probability table with this decision tree (with a reference). No big hurry, but if you think you can get to this in a week or two please let me know. Thanks. -- Rick Block (talk) 14:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, if you think you might be able to do this let's talk first. I think we might actually want a horizontal arrangement rather than vertical. I'll work on an ASCII graphics version with this orientation in the next day or two. -- Rick Block (talk) 16:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure I agree with your proposed version. The best mathematical statement is a concise one, and yours seems unnecessary long-winded. It requires a WLOG argument (albeit a trivial one) to justify the contestant always choosing door 1. More importantly, though, it seems harder to understand the "host opens" step, because it isn't as obvious to see what is behind the door that the contestant chose (and why there is only one choice for the door the host can open in branches 2 and 3). I also feel that it's important to distinguish the two goats. That said, I'd be happy to oblige in making a new probability tree (and my opinion isn't particularly strong anyway). Although, have you tried editing it yourself? It might be easier for you just open up Inkscape and play with the svg yourself rather than bothering with all of these ascii mockups. ~ Booya ^Bazooka 17:55, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I've downloaded Inkscape and it doesn't seem to work tremendously well on my Mac (I tried using it on Goose's images in the table in the Solution section and basically gave up - these are simpler so I'll give it another shot). Regarding the image itself, the ASCII mockups are no problem at all. I've been considering whether an ASCII art version might actually be better since there is text in it, so if it's an image there has to be a unique image per language (do you have an opinion on this?). The current version requires distinguishable goats which I think is a negative since some presentations of the problem use empty doors for the non-winning ones, and (more importantly) is not at all amenable to a conditional analysis given which of the two doors the host opens. I want to use this diagram to illustrate the difference between the unconditional answer (2/3 win by switching for all players in general) vs. the conditional answer (given which door the host opens, there's a 1/6 win by staying and a 1/3 win by switching, so again a 2/3 win by switching). The difference between these is extremely relevant mathematically (they don't have to be the same), and the diagram provides a way to address this point. Oh, and BTW, the reference I'm using for the diagram shows the selection on doors rather than using distinguishable goats (and references is the main complaint at the FAR). -- Rick Block (talk) 18:48, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

See image:Monty tree door1.svg - or in context on the draft page at Monty Hall problem/draft#Solution. -- Rick Block (talk) 17:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Colour icons

Would it be at all possible to make an aqua/green-blue version of the square colour icons like http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Color_icon_orange.png ? Lady BlahDeBlah (talk) 14:30, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

It would be quite trivial to change the colors. Check out Image:Color icon blue.svg, and look at the svg source. If you're comfortable with hex colors, all you need is a text editor. Otherwise, I recommend Inkscape for SVG editing. ~ Booya ^Bazooka 04:44, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Um...yeah. My computer is being fixed and I'm on a public terminal, and I haven't the foggiest on what to do, my editing skills being limited to Paint...I'm sure it is easy, but could you give me a little more info on what to do? Lady BlahDeBlah (talk) 16:12, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, someone change this image to a different image, i'm not familliare of how to revert to the original one.[[User:Sensonet|Sensonet]] (talk) 09:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC) Sorry, someone reverted it.Sensonet (talk) 09:15, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
