SVG Images

On talk:Scalable Vector Graphics you mentioned commons:Category:SVG category of images. I'm unfamiliar with "commons" vs regular categories. Looking at the repository it seems that it is missing the image used on the Scalable Vector Graphics page itself (Image:Svg.svg). I went to Image:Svg.svg and tried to add the category of SVG but it created a new Category:SVG that is not the same as the commons category. Would appreciate if you could explain to me the difference and how to get that rectified. Thanks! Jeff schiller 15:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wade-Giles naming conventions

Greetings. Yes, Tung Ying-chieh is a more standard romanisation than Tung Ying-Chieh. Usually, in W-G, the second part of a hyphenated name isn't capitalised. So, we get Chinese names spelled as: Yang Lu-ch'an, Yang Chien-hou, Wu Chien-ch'üan, Wu Kung-i, etc. I've even seen T'ai-chi Ch'üan. A good example of this phenomenon in print using exactly these names (including Tung Ying-chieh) are any of the books by Douglas Wile, such as Yang Family Secret Transmissions ISBN 091205901X or Lost T'ai-chi Classics from the Late Ch'ing Dynasty ISBN 0791426548 as well as other translations he has done of Cheng Man-ch'ing's works.

Hi Zilla,

Wikimedia UK

I have no idea. What would being a member or trustee entail/imply? Does it mean I would have to give me real name and everything? :S --Mistress Selina Kyle 18:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To be a trustee you'd have to give your real name and address to Companies House, so it would be on the public record, as well as certain other information. It also carried with it certain legal obligations. Also certain people are disqualified from being company directors - eg undischarged bankrupts, those with a disqualification order against them. Being a member has far fewer legal implications. We would require your real name and an address, but we'd probably accept an email address rather than your postal address (though we haven't considered that yet). You'd also have to pay the membership subscription (price not yet determined, though likely to be at such a level that doesn't deter people because they're not as rich as Jimmy Wales!) and agree to pay an amount not exceeding £10 if required if the company wound up when you were a member or within one year of you ceasing to be a member. Mind you, there's no need to be either a trustee or a member to help out - you just need to have a few hours you're willing to spend regularly in the cause, jguk 18:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Tung Ying Kit video demo

Greetings! Someone recently added a link to a low quality video of the 1954 Wu vs Chen T'ai Chi vs. White Crane contest at the Wu Kung-i article. What you may find interesting about it is at the very beginning of the video there is some brief footage of Tung Ying-chieh (Tung Ying Kit in Cantonese) demonstrating some of his T'ai Chi forms. Tung was a close friend of Wu Kung-i, and was also was one of the panel of judges for the contest. I hope you find it interesting. --Fire Star 07:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Alex Dong is my teacher and I know Chip Ellis personally. Chip's website has many videos from the Tung archives. LoopZilla 09:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a daft coincidence. You and I both took shots of All Saints church, similar composition, from almost exactly the same position, one day apart (right).

Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 21% for major edits and 39% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 13:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beer categories

Hi LoopZilla. It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. The proposal has been supported by User:Syrthiss, and supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

Alexandria Quartet

Why do you think it's necessary for us to say that a work called a quartet - that is, four connected works - is a tetrology - that is, four connected works? - DavidWBrooks 10:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"The Alexandra Quartet" suggests how many volumes? Yes, it could be 4 but it could be one! See tetralogy. Gordo 15:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

License tagging for Image:Piglit3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Piglit3.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. 16:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Piglit3.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Piglit3.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Black Team

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Black Team, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Chrisp Street Tower Photo

Hi there.

I've recently used your photo of the Chrisp Street tower (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/ee/ChrispStreetTower1.jpg/180px-ChrispStreetTower1.jpg), in a magazine advert I've designed for the market. However at the time I didn't really think there would be a problem with using the photo (and hopefully there's not). I'd really be grateful if you could let me know if what I've done is OK. It's a bit late now as it's gone ahead for print but it would help to put my mind at ease.

Hope you can put a reply up soon.

Notability of Open Knowledge Foundation

A tag has been placed on Open Knowledge Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Greatestrowerever (talk) 11:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC) --Greatestrowerever (talk) 11:47, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beer category decision

As you took part in the last Great Beer Cat Discussion, I thought you might be interested in this one: A discussion has been opened on changes that have been made to the existing Beer category system. The changes reverse the decision made by the Project in April 2006. The changes were based on agreement by only two people, and by a discussion that took place outside the Beer Project. There may be some merit in the changes, and to prevent future conflict it is important that there is some discussion of the matter.

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Wikimedia UK v2.0

Hello! Thanks for showing an interest in Wikimedia UK v2.0. Formation of the company is currently underway under the official name "Wiki UK Limited", and we are hoping to start accepting membership in the near future. We have been drawing up a set of membership guidelines, determining what membership levels we'll have (we plan on starting off with just standard Membership, formerly known as Guarantor Membership, with supporting membership / friends scheme coming later), who can apply for membership (everyone), what information we'll collect on the application form, why applications may be rejected, and data retention. Your input on all of this would be appreciated. We're especially after the community's thoughts on what the membership fee should be. Please leave a message on the talk page with your thoughts.

Also, we're currently setting up a monthly newsletter to keep everyone informed about the to-be-Chapter's progress. If you would like to receive this newsletter, please put your username down on this page.

Wiki UK Ltd Membership applications now invited!

Hello,

It gives me great pleasure to announce that Wiki UK Limited is now inviting membership applications! You can download the application form in PDF format from meta:Image:Wiki_UK_Ltd_membership_application_form.pdf

Information is given on the form about membership fees (£12/year standard, £6 for concessions); these need to be paid by cheque initially, although we hope to accept other forms of payment in the future. Applications should be submitted to me at the address given on the form. If you have any queries about the application process, please let me know.

We will formally start accepting members once we have a bank account, as we cannot process membership fees until that time. We will be submitting our application for a bank account in the very near future, and we hope to have this set up by the end of December at the latest.

Thank you for your support so far; I look forward to receiving your membership application.

Project RedLink Recovery

Hi Gordon, I thought I'd drop by and add a random red link. Is Coventry Cross notable enough to create an article? I can't think why it would be. If so it would need disambiguating, as the redirect you added is not the one intended for the link at William Hollyes. Cheers, Fayenatic (talk) 18:03, 26 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimania Oxford bid

Some time ago you indicated your support of the Oxford 2010 Wikimania Bid, and it was recieved with much gratitude. I now ask if you could could help support our bid by contributing to the bid page that is located at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids/Oxford. Now is the critical period for work to continue on the bid as the official bidding period has now started and the jury has been formed.

I do not ask for huge swathes of time, just enough that with eveyrone working on this, it can be completed in time to the high standard required in a bid. For the bid page, an excellent source of information is the travel wiki article on the City of Oxford which is found at: http://wikitravel.org/en/Oxford. The chance of bringing Wikimania to the UK is the best so far and i expect the best chance for many years. With a fresh and stong UK chapter we have an amazing opportunity to put ourselves on the map. If you have any questions, please mail them to the Wikimedia UK mailing list, email me or post a message on my my talk page and i will answer as quickly as possible.

I look forward to working with you on the bid page. Many Thanks. Seddσn ^talk 15:10, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 03:39, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Nicholas Breach

The article Nicholas Breach has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:N: No secondary coverage on web, none at all in GNews. Possible through Google Books to verify his claim for being a major photographic contributor to one, probably both books, but that doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:ARTIST.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. j⚛e decker ^talk 21:20, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Leon Redler

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Leon Redler requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. WORM MЯOW 12:49, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UK Community Notice - IRC meeting

Dear Wikipedian,

This is the first of what will hopefully be a regular notice to help bring together the UK community so that you can be involved in some amazing things. To kick things off, there will be a UK community IRC meeting at 1800 UTC, December 7, 2010 to discuss the future growth and developement of Wikimedia UK. Without huge community support and involvement, the chapter cannot be successful and to get the most out of it, get involved.

For information on the community IRC meeting please go here

More to come about:

Wikipedia 10th Anniversary Events
1st Annual UK Wiki-conference
Trustee interest meeting - an event for those community members with even just a fleeting interest in becoming trustees of Wikimedia UK.

London Wikimedia Fundraiser

Good evening! This is a friendly message from Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry, inviting you to the London Wikimedia Fundraising party on 19th December 2010, in approximately one week. This party is being held at an artistic London venue with room for approximately 300 people, and is being funded by Ed Saperia, a non-Wikipedian who has a reputation for holding exclusive events all over London. This year, he wants to help Wikipedia, and is subsidising a charity event for us. We're keen to get as many Wikimedians coming as possible, and we already have approximately 200 guests, including members of the press, and some mystery guests! More details can be found at http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London - expect an Eigenharp, a mulled wine hot tub, a free hog roast, a haybale amphitheatre and more. If you're interested in coming - and we'd love to have you - please go to the ten.wikipedia page and follow the link to the Facebook event. Signing up on Facebook will add you to the party guestlist. Entry fee is a heavily subsidised £5 and entry is restricted to over 18s. It promises to be a 10th birthday party to remember! If you have any questions, please email me at chasemewiki at gmail.com.

Hope we'll see you there, (and apologies for the talk page spam) - Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:22, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Millennium Mills

It's nice to see the Millennium Mills article created. I have been gearing up to it for about one year now, writing and uploading photos to commons (see User:France3470/sandbox9) although haven't quite managed to get to it yet. I have been researching the site quite extensively for a while now and have been working on a userspace article which encompasses most of this research. I just thought I would let you know some of the things I'm planning; it would be great to collaborate and share our knowledge of the site. I also live in London. At the moment I have plans to move my userspace draft, after a bit more editing to Grain Milling at the Royal Victoria Dock or a title along those lines. I should be able to finally get around to this sometime in the coming weeks, I have simply been unable to find the time required before. This article will (hopefully) include detailed information about all five flour mills formally at the site and their history. Since there is now an article on Millennium Mills, which I always thought could easily warrant it's own article, some of the information can perhaps be merged there. Would love to hear your thoughts, France3470 (talk) 15:29, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I replied to the above on my own talk page.

Let's go for a WP:DYK! Did you know

...that the Millennium Mills survived the Silvertown explosion and two world wars, was the last flour mill to cease operations in London docklands?
...that the Millennium Mills was the last flour mill to cease operations in London docklands?
...that the Millennium Mills is the last of the flour mills in London's docklands that once processed most of the UK's grain?

I think only the last of the above is currently cited from a sufficiently reliable source. Jarre's concert would be more interesting but I cannot find a direct citation mentioning the Mills in WP:RS. I drafted the above suggestions earlier but we may be able to source a better hook using the citations in France's page. - Fayenatic (talk) 17:18, 16 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nice work: I will continue to work on the article Gordo (talk) 14:03, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

DYK for Millennium Mills

On 24 June 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Millennium Mills, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Millennium Mills, a derelict icon of London's post-industrial docklands, is a favourite destination of thrill-seeking Urban Explorers? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of File:The Cutty Sark 2005-01-24.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:The Cutty Sark 2005-01-24.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi Gordon,

Good to see you've signed up for the event! It's running over four days, and you're welcome to attend any or all; we're hoping to be working on it more or less continually through the period.

The two specific things we do have scheduled are a group of students from SOAS on the Wednesday afternoon (about 3pm, I think) and a smaller group of MA students from UCL on Thursday morning (about 10am). We'll be quite busy at these points, but if you're interested in helping novice contributors learn to use Wikipedia, this would be a good time to come along.

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to The Red Shoes (1948 film) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

In 2013, Korean Pop Singer IU, in her lead single "Red Shoes 분홍신)" from the third album "Modern Times", referenced the plot in her music video.<ref>[http://www.

Invitation to help at training editathon at the Royal Society - March 25th

Hi, Would you be interested in helping new editors at this event - Wikipedia:WikiProject Royal Society/Diversity in Science Edit-a-thon, Royal Society, March 25, 2014? The whole event lasts from 2-9pm, but the key periods for helpers are about 2.45-5.20 and 6.60-9.00 pm, when they are all actually editing. An extra hand at any parts of these periods would be very useful. If you can make it, please sign up at the event page, & I will need your name for reception (can be kept private if that's an issue). Nice cake & sandwiches! Alternatively, if you can think of any other Wikipedians who might be able to do it, please pass on, or let me have your suggestions. Thanks, Johnbod or Wiki at Royal Society John (talk) 15:50, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Lou Lewis

Hello LoopZilla,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Lou Lewis for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Fenix down (talk) 12:36, 2 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
