You're welcome. Honestly I don't know how to make your user talk page show up as part of the signature. Perhaps there is something in the help section. Take care. Once again, welcome.

No worries, I think I got it. Leftis t 05:03, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's weird, it works fine on other pages. Leftist 05:10, 8 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Abortion map colours

Thanks! I already edited the map from its original version to be more colour blind-friendly (it was originally done in pinks and purples). The current version uses orange, green, blue, dark blue, red, brown, and grey. I used VisCheck, and half of these appear as olive or khaki (i.e. brown), so the only thing to do seems to be to adjust the levels of the colours and hope that there is enough contrast between the "browns" for colourblind viewers. I darkened the orange and brown, so, hopefully, there will be greater contrast between the olive colours (brown and red) and the khaki colours (green and orange). If not, maybe recommend some specific tones which contrast well for you. -Kyd 22:44, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad that the revised colour scheme works for you. Thanks for helping to make the map more universally viewable! -Kyd 13:50, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flag of Fiji

I've put something on my talk page for you to read. The version you saw today is the version I created after Kookaburra said the colour was not correct—it was previously the same sky blue used on the RAF ensign/Civil Air Ensign/Tuvalu, which I think is the correct version of Pantone549C to use—take a look here to see what the Sky Blue looked like before the change.

Do you think then the flag should be reverted to the other version of Sky Blue--consistent with the other Sky Blues on Wikipedia, as shown in the link above? Greentubing 02:20, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is now a lengthy thread at Commons:Image talk:Flag of Fiji.svg. Greentubing 09:29, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I have no inside knowledge on the exact hue of blue on this flag, other than that it's a bright skyblue as on the flag of Luxembourg. // Big Adamsky • BA's talk page 16:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

hi, got to say that i'm not really a fan of the sky blue in this version. Having lived in Fiji for most of my life, and also worked for some time for the RAAF, i'm convinced that the skyblues in the fiji flag and the commonwealth air ensigns are the same. --Xorkl000 02:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nordic Cross Flag

Hi there. I have reverted your change in alphabetical order, since I believe the collation rules of the English version of the Latin alphabet should be used here. Most people who are unfamiliar with the Scandinavian languages will look under a when searching for å, just like þ is generally seen as a variant form of t by those who are not aware of its proper place in the Icelandic alphabet. Hope you don't mind this! =] Regards // Big Adamsky • BA's talk page 13:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
