Re: Tom Cruise

Original here.

He was part of an in-show promo for Gives Back. I thought I still had it on DVR but apparently not. It was a black-and-white promo that also featured Antonio Banderas amongst others. - Dudesleeper · Talk 00:22, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Response here.

It was the results episode. I wasn't the person who first added Cruise to the article, so either two of us are hallucinating, or... he actually appeared. Kind of hard to believe, I know... - Dudesleeper · Talk 00:29, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Elimination Chart! - Thanks so much!

Hi MissMJ. You've done a great job at formatting the table. You've fixed all of the problems that I was having trouble fixing with and it's basically just how I wanted it too look like. I think the main problem in the chart is that there are soo many contestants; if there is any change it requires all the position of the contestants on the table to change. You seem very skilled with tables, I just find Wiki Tables very complicated at times to understand while editing. I think there should be some additional program that converts something like an Microsoft Excel spreadsheet table into a Wikipedia table with ease. Again, thanks soo much. You're a star! -- Bhavesh.Chauhan ^{Message Me | Contribs} 03:05, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Punctuation

I noticed you were doing some punctuation editing on several articles with song names. I just wanted to point out that for song names, the punctuation goes outside of the quotes. See Wikipedia:WikiProject_Music/MUSTARD#Punctuation and User:Wasted_Time_R for more info. JYi 23:13, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Could you help me?

There are several users who insist on putting non-free use pictures into the Jordin Sparks article. It's a very clear policy violation (I have the reasons on the Sparks talk page). I'm about to take the picture out. But I'm also about to go to bed. If you could monitor it, I'd be most appreciative. Thanks. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 15:56, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. :) Yeah it's a tricky one. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 01:48, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of San Francisco 49ers

The article San Francisco 49ers you nominated as a good article has failed , see Talk:San Francisco 49ers for reasons why the nomination failed. If or when these points have been taken care of, you may apply for a new nomination of said article. If you oppose this decision, you may ask for a review.

Assessment of SFBA articles

First of all thanks for your continuing assessment of SFBA articles. This assessment work is an important function. May i suggest that some of the articles you are rating "start" may be more advanced than your ratings indicate. For example, the article The Marine Mammal Center is a clear "B" and arguably a candidate for "GA". Please read the SFBA articles Antioch Bridge, Alice Waters and Albany Hill, all of which are "start" class rated and properly so. You may also want to review the guidelines for the various classes. Note particularly the breadth of coverage, well-written criteria, extent of referencing and use of photos. If you have any questions i should be happy to discuss this matter. Once again, thanks for your energy in pursuit of this important task. Best regards. Anlace 01:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

AI deletion debate

See Here. Trying to delete articles for Scarnato, Glocksen, Sligh, Rogers and Edwards. Input appreciated. Hopefully at some point, the every-4-month-AI-AfD-votes will cease. :) --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 09:19, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Response here.

Honestly, I don't think you need to be versed in the guidelines and processes. Just whether you think they should be kept or not. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 05:39, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Dance

Nigel named 4 alternates. :) added them. Btw, we have charts of dances, partners, etc on Sabra, Neil, Lacey and Danny. Not sure if we need others or not. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 06:57, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

My guess is that Cedric isn't being brought along because of being at Debbie Allen's school. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 06:58, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

The one deleting the AI pictures

User is User:Cinemaniac86. Left him a message. Apparently he thinks that showing pictures shows "favoritism". --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 16:03, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Could you do me a favor?

Please watchlist Josiah Leming. It's got "fancruft" written all over it. I'm not even sure he is notable enough for an article. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 11:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Response here.

I think the argument against deletion is going to be that he's been covered extensively by the national media. Not saying I agree with it but the keep people will say that he passes WP:MUSIC due to that. That's why I was hesitant to put it up. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 15:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Oi. We deserve combat pay. :) Every year, same stuff. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 15:31, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Response here.

I put Josiah Leming up for deletion. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 04:04, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey

		The Graphic Designer's Barnstar
		For converting a crapload of files to .svg when I needed it. —  scetoaux (T|C) 19:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

		The Special Barnstar
		For being so cheerful, helpful and technically awesome at Graphics Lab. Dhatfield (talk) 14:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

This should probably be a Barnstar of Good Humour, but we can't have an ugly Barnstar on a Wikigraphists page :) Nice to be able to learn from a pro. Dhatfield (talk) 14:04, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Graphics lab scan

My problem with the picture of the U.S. representative is that I only know how to make the scanner create PDFs (my job is simply scanning books to preserve the texts as PDFs, and this was done over lunch break), and my only image program, period, is Paint. The only way I knew to create the image that you see as complete was to do Print Screen with Acrobat displaying the picture of all the ministers, and then to copy/paste the bits of image (in Paint) onto each other to get the complete picture. I don't know what else to do, short of sending you the file itself. If you'd be willing, please use the E-mail this user for me, and I'll reply with the PDF attached (434KB); if you aren't, please leave a note to that effect on my talk page. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 04:21, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Response here.

Ah, don't worry about the DPI: the scanner can do up to 600, and (although I might not have done it that large, since the computer didn't always like that big) it was either done at that size or at 400. And if there's something that really needs to be reworked, I still have freedom (indeed, the duty!) to access the original of the picture, so I could re-scan it if necessary. Nyttend (talk) 12:11, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Award

Why thank you :) Yeah I need a break. I'll concentrate I'll Dance for awhile, which is much less maintainence. With Idol, it's the never ending debates over the same issues that gets to me. How many times do we need to debate the bottom 2/3 thing? --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 06:39, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Image:Europe map Napoleon 1811.png

Original here.

I'm sorry, I don't still have it. I can't even remember what sources I used to create that image. Sorry :o( — OwenBlacker (Talk) 22:45, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the conversation, it shouldn't be too difficult to add the cities, though — if you can find a modern map of Europe that has the cities marked, you can use semi-transparent layers to pinpoint the cities relatively easily. Gimme a yell if you need me to help with that (or to do it ;o) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 22:48, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Response here.

Aaah, I see what you mean. Sorry, I don'have any of the source materials any more; that was created a hard-drive crash or two ago… :o( — OwenBlacker (Talk) 07:19, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Bonjour, une carte a été faite, elle est dans la demande :) Cancelos (talk) 12:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain something to me?

(without taking too much of your time!)

I posted a question on the WikiProject Maps talk page - someone replied, but didn't answer my question in any way! S/He offered an example of a "PDF map", but nothing that helps me understand what makes a map a "PDF map". Can you tell me, or point me to where I can find out? Thanks a lot - Martha (talk) 23:04, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Response here.

Thanks for speedy response! which goes a long way towards telling me what's going on. I still have a question or two though. I think my problem is with the phrase "PDF map". I've made pdf files from word processing documents, and from graphics files. If I were trying to do a map and put it into PDF format, I would first save the map as a .jpg or .tif or .gif or .png file, then put that into pdf. Is that original graphic file what would be saved as an .svg file? or is there an intermediate stage - what you described as manually (or automatically) tracing it? Does "tracing it" imply turning it into a line drawing - like a character in a font, which as I understand it is composed of points connected with Bezier curves? (Maybe my question is not about maps at all, but about different kinds of graphics! Right now I'm guessing that the image needs to be a vector image - either because it was originally created as such, or because it's been turned into one by "tracing".) Feel free to give me quite a short answer - even a reference would do - because this is really "just" a matter of Curiosity to me - I doubt very much that I'm about to get into maps in that way! though I did produce the map on the Dospat Dam page. - Martha (talk) 03:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Response here.

Thanks again! Sounds to me as if it'd be more correct to refer to such a map as a "vector image" rather than a "pdf map" - the pdf doesn't care what type of image it contains... - Martha (talk) 03:09, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Claude

Hi MissMJ: I really like the work you did on the map. It is quite nice and very helpful for anyone reading the La Badarian narrative. I was not familiar myself with a lot of the cities on the map beforehand so future readers won't have a problem now. I was wondering if you were still working on the map? I am not familiar with SVG, so I don't know if it is a source file in which other editors can improve it themselves or if it is a compressed gif kind of thing. Either way I just wanted to thank you for your work so far and see if you were working on it, maybe trying to figure out how to draw paths in SVG format or something. Best, Manhattan Samurai (talk) 22:26, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi MissMJ: I'm not sure what has happened to you, but it was excellent work you did and I was just wondering if you were going to be the one to continue to work on it? I hope you haven't read the La Badarian narrative and freaked out. It is a risky piece of writing, but highly original and entertaining (to some). Anyhow, I have recently added the map to the article Dining Late with Claude La Badarian as well as a color scheme to the list of letters. I hope you are well and wish you the best of luck in whatever endeavors you are currently working on. Sincerely, Manhattan Samurai (talk) 03:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Your translated maps of the island of Saint-Martin

This is a copy of the message I left on your discussion page on Commons.

Good afternoon.
I saw you translated two of my maps of the island of Saint-Martin (File:Saint-Martin_map_detailed-en.svg and File:Saint-Martin_map_simple_en.svg) and I'm glad of that.
Unfortunately, to create my two maps I've drawn few years ago I used old paper maps of the French Institut Géographique National which are still under copyright, so this means that our four maps represent derivative works without permission. Because of this I will ask their deletion in a few days and give you this notification in order for you to have the time to save a copy of your maps in your computer, if you want.
I'm preparing completely new versions of them, using this time free data and of better quality. They will be shortly available on Commons and I will notify it to you when they are.
Sorry for the mess. Greetings. Sting-fr (talk) 18:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

For now I'd say no. The issue is that people can seem legitimate but still may not be. There are some validation tools out there but still. A couple of lawsuits out there swirling around this issue. For now I'd say no but it might be more reliable in the future. --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 04:08, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Well

Regarding this, my only quibble is that Katee was announced as the top girl. It might be helpful to find a way to get that into the chart. No "place" per se but she was obviously ahead of Courtney. --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 04:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Response here.

Yes and someday I'll be on So You Can Think You Can Dance. :) At least Dance is consistent and never announces places outside of the winner. --User:Woohookitty ^{Diamming fool!} 04:32, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
