The Zacconis

Greetings! Thanks for letting me know about the two articles on Zacconi. I'm not sure where that "Lucovico" spelling came from, but the article was a copy of the one in the Catholic encyclopedia. I verified that everything that was accurate was in the other, and redirected it. Happy editing! Antandrus (talk) 14:51, 18 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Star Trek/Doctor Who userboxes

Hi - I read your vote on the template deletion page. As far as I can see, the new template allows you to specify which series you are a fan of, so you end up with an identical userbox, and placed in the category for that specific series. Before I vote, I guess I'm wondering if you saw something I missed. Thanks! --Brian Olsen 18:56, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! That's exactly what I wanted to see before I cast my own vote. --Brian Olsen 20:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JPD's RfA

Thanks, RedZebra, for your support at my RfA, which finished with a tally of 94/1/0. I hope I live up to the confidence you have shown in me in my activities as an administrator. JPD (talk) 16:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Thanks!

Lol, no problem. We all make mistakes! - Ashadeofgrey 20:50, 16 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Hey RedZebra, thank you for supporting my recent RfA. It finished with an amazing final tally of 160/4/1. I really appreciate your support. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 10:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 66/11/5. I learned quite a bit during the process, and I expect to be learning a lot more in the days ahead. I will be taking things slowly (and doing a lot of re-reading), but I hope you will let me know if there is anything I can do to improve in my new capacity. -- Merope ^Talk 13:43, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The anon

Being a citizen of the EU ,(not aware if you are also) I know that, rightly or wrongly, it does not recognise that state as Republic of Macedonia, but as Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. So, in the articles that have to do with EU, I found it improper not to follow the official policy.

Thanks for the note. The answer can be found here. --RedZebra 09:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Juraj Dalmatinac

You are missing something -- it wasn't me who removed POV tag, but just cleared up some simple vandalism. I also think that the article sucks. It's a subject of warring between User:Dijxtra and User:GiorgioOrsini/User:Giovanni Giove, and I only watch it with half eye. Duja► 07:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Giorgio Orsini now
Hi RedZebra :-) Would you mind if I reduce your !vote in the move request to "Per Evv's arguments below" only, and move the related comment to the "Discussion" section below (or to do it yourself if you prefer so) ? I believe this would help to keep the discussion more focused. If you wish to reply to this comment, please leave me any response in this talk page. I will see it :-) - Best regards, Evv 22:57, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thany you, RedZebra. I moved it (diff.). If at any moment you want to have the comment back in its original place, don't hesitate to move it at will :-) Best regards, Evv 21:57, 10 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Military of Somaliland

Hi RedZebra, previously you helped me wikify the Constitution of Somaliland, and I need your help. An anonymous user has expanded an article that is part of the Somaliland articles, it is called Military of Somaliland. I would like you to section it and wikify it. Thanks Abdullah Geelah 16:14, 30 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Map

Hello RedZebra, I noticed you made a nice map for the article Visegrád Group. Could I ask you to make a similar one for Weimar Triangle? Appleseed (Talk) 21:28, 21 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's excellent. Thank you very much. Appleseed (Talk) 23:12, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RedZebra, I just noticed that Corsica isn't highlighted. Would you mind updating the map? Appleseed (Talk) 16:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Politics of Somaliand

Hi RedZebra, can you wikify the cabinet section on the Politics of Somaliland —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abdullah Geelah (talk • contribs) 19:01, 9 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Aagh!

Yikes, I just took a look at your edit history, thanks for those maps, but I have a point to make - PLEASE DON'T USE JPEG! JPG anti-aliases making the maps hard to edit and ugly, which is exactly why the maps are in PNG in the first place, to prevent just that. JPEG is for photos, PNG and SVG is for illustrations (pictures that aren't photos). Thanks, and sorry if I sound scary. :) +Hexagon1 ^(t) 11:37, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Louise Lambrichs.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Louise Lambrichs.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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.BetacommandBot 05:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Replaceable fair use Image:Louise_Lambrichs.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:Louise_Lambrichs.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-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 this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 12:48, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bruno Kreisky Award

Hallo! I'm writing in reference to this article. It's all only to rewrite. Look at the de Wiki and compare list of rewarded people / organisations beteen en and de Wiki articles. This is biennial award, so why there are years such as 2005 -> 2006 etc. If you can, please, fix it and complete it. Best regards. Triskaidekafil (talk) 22:47, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello RedZebra! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 50 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
