Olá. Deixei-lhe uma mensagem em pt:Usuário Discussão:Saoshyant. Cumprimentos. --Dpc01 02:46, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Signature

Sure, I'd be happy to. I assume you mean my current signature (Cielomobile talk / contribs) and not my old one (Cielomobile minor7b5). Either way, you just have to change the text a little bit. Here's the code:

-- [[User: Cielomobile|Ci]][[User:Cielomobile/Esperanza|<font color="green">e</font>]][[user:Cielomobile|lomobile]] <sup>[[User talk:Cielomobile|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Cielomobile|contribs]]</sup>

You'll want to copy and paste that into your signature in "My preferences" and check the "Raw Signature" box. I'm a member of Esperanza, so the bit in the middle with the green is produced by that code. What you'll probably want is something like this:

-- [[User:Saoshyant|Saoshyant]] <sup>[[User_talk:Saoshyant|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Saoshyant|contribs]]</sup>

That would produce this: -- Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs}

So just copy and past that last bit of code into your signature and check the raw signature box, and you're good to go. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 16:32, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

You're very welcome. As for the use of the "font" tag, that's the way Esperanza recommended to do it on their page (somewhere at Wikipedia:Esperanza, so unless there's a good reason not to use it, I'll just leave it as is. Thanks though! -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 00:14, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Signature

Olá. Obrigado por contactares. Espero que não te importes que eu use português, mas já criei hábito em usar essa língua para comunicar com outros utilizadores portugueses. Se preferires, claro, posso mudar para inglês. Relativamente às sugestões em relação à minha assinatura, não compreendi especificamente o que de errado há com ela. Quando a criei baseei-me nas assinaturas de outros utilizadores, aplicando código bastante comum. Também não consigo detectar broken html. Utilizo três browsers (Netscape, Firefox e IE) e também não verifico nenhum problema na visualização da assinatura. Desconheço porém se occorerão eventualmente problemas com browsers para Mac. De qualquer forma desde que estabeleci a assinatura não fiz intenções de alterar o seu aspecto posteriormente. Estou aberto a alterações ao seu código, desde que produzam exactamente a mesma assinatura. Obrigado pela atenção. :-) Cumprimentos.--Húsönd 16:23, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Compreendo. Seria possível criares-me uma réplica da minha assinatura com o código válido? Se a visualização da assinatura ficar igual, naturalmente não terei qualquer problema em mudar a sintaxe. A propósito, comandos como o font são comuns não apenas em assinaturas. Vou ver se encontro um sítio adequado para comunicar a mais utilizadores este problema. Obrigado. Cumprimentos.--Húsönd 17:15, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Obrigado por forneceres o código. No entanto, a assinatura que ele produz revela-se muito diferente (cores diferentes, e aparece sublinhada). :-/ A ideia do template não parece má. Sugiro também que exponhas a situação em Wikipedia talk:Sign your posts on talk pages, onde poderá ser directamente discutida com outros utilizadores e eventualmente incluída nas alíneas do guia de assinatura. Cumprimentos.--Húsönd 21:52, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Já suspeitava que visualizássemos a assinatura que criaste de maneiras diferentes. Fiz upload de um screenshot (aqui) para que possas verificar como a visualizo. É raríssimo eu usar o Internet Explorer, pelas mesmas razões que tu não o usas. Uso quase sempre o Firefox ou o Netscape, e em ambos a assinatura que criaste aparece assim. Mais estranho, vejo que modificaste a assinatura do utilizador Asterion mas a dele aparentemente fica igualzinha. Não sei portanto que raio se passa com a minha. :-( De qualquer forma vou tentar modificar o código que providenciaste para ver se acerto com ela. Obrigado. --Húsönd 16:12, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your welcome and your comments about my userpage. I have completely reformatted it - I was wondering if it was better for you now? SergeantBolt (t,c) 21:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

My signature

Can you think of any possible technical problems caused by my signature? Thanks, Asterion^talk 00:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

The font and small tags are invalid in XHTML, which is what Wikipedia uses. Don't make Wikipedia an invalid whore :) --Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} 20:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, testing new one now. Please check it up. --Asterion^talk 20:54, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Pretty good. Thanks a lot for making the change.--Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves/Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} 09:29, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

You guessed it - Signature

Firstly, thanks for your note on my talk regarding the use of <font>, and the problems it creates. I acted upon your suggestion, however I'm posting to double-check the slight modification to the code you suggested hasn't made this whole action defunct.

Your suggestion: <span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;">'''[[User:Daniel.Bryant|Daniel]][[Special:Random|.]][[User talk:Daniel.Bryant|Bryant]]'''</span>, which produces Daniel.Bryant

My amendment: <span style="font-family: sans-serif;">'''[[User:Daniel.Bryant|Daniel]][[Special:Random|.]][[User talk:Daniel.Bryant|Bryant]]'''</span>, which produces Daniel.Bryant

As you can see, there is a considerable difference - the second creates an exact copy of my original signature (Sans Serif, the font I use on my personal templates/pages etc.), however the first is the font Tahoma.

The main reason for posting was to double-check that the modification I made to the code you suggested hasn't made my changes pointless. Please respond on my talk page. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 09:03, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

RE: Hey, I'm wondering if...

Hi, sorry about the late reply - I've been very busy in real life.

I'm afraid that I can't spare any time at the moment. I'm right in the middle of GCSEs and revising like mad! I only have time to make some contributions, which for the time being will only be going to Wikipedia. Again, I'm sorry - but good luck with your project!

Deletion of Template:Uncyclopedia

Hello there. I deleted the page a long time ago, back in July 2005. It was voted for deletion on templates for deletion[1]. The template was recreated, and voted for deletion again in January 2006 (see: Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 January 11).

Since recreation of deleted pages is a criteria for speedy deletion (see WP:CSD), if you have a good reason for creating a new template under that name, you'll have to refer to Wikipedia:Undeletion policy. Hope that helps! If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to leave a note on my talk page. -Frazzydee|✍ 15:12, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Template:Uncyclopedia

Hi,

I didn't delete the template, but the talk page. The talk page recently came up for Deletion Review, and its deletion/protection was endorsed unanimously. When the Wikipedia community decides to delete/protect a talk page, it is obvious that the main artice/page is thoroughly rejected. In Uncyclopedia's case, the reason for this is simple: While Wikipedia supports "inter-wikiness", it also cares very much about its professional reputation. Links/references to Uncyclopedia, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and its like are seen by many in the community as damaging to Wikipedia's academic respectability. I have no personal opinion on this matter, but it is clear this is what consensus has declared at the AfDs/DRV of Unc. and En. Dramatica, as well as the ArbCom case involving ED.

If you were to bring the template to deletion review now, the case would probably be summarily closed, because we just finished with the talk page two days ago. You could wait a month and bring the case back for a new DRV, but I strongly suspect that the consensus on this matter wouldn't change. The community doesn't seem to want this template, for the reason aforementioned. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:16, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

You're absolutely right that admins shouldn't make consensus alone; we don't. Both XfD and Deletion Review are open to all Wikipedians. Once decisions are made, we janitors carry them out. Although consensus can always change, if experiences teaches me that it is very unlikely to change, I'll let folks know my opinion. As I say, you are welcome to list the matter at DRV, where any Wikipedian may comment, but I wouldn't expect success, because a widespread consensus (among admins and non-admins) seems to disfavor it. We janitors do sometimes mention Uncyclopedia in our vandalism notices, though, for precisely the reason you suggest. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:48, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I deleted it in line with the debate at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 January 11#Template:Uncyclopedia. It was also previously discussed in Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/July_2005#Template:Uncyclopedia. Basically, it was felt to be unnecessary and inappropriate. After all, there's no reason why Wikipedia articles should finish off with a self-deprecating joke. If someone is looking for humour, they can just head directly to Uncyclopedia. If the project here is to be taken seriously, then it can't have parody all over itself! Uncyclopedia is also not a Wikimedia project, so it's essentially free advertising for a small 3rd party website. Therefore your recent creation got deleted in line with those previous debates. -Splash - tk 18:40, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

{{Uncyclopedia}}

I speedy deleted this template as a recreation of previously deleted material at Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_January_11#Template:Uncyclopedia and Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/Deleted/July_2005#Template:Uncyclopedia. As it had been repeatedly recreated, I also SALTed it. Interwiki links are maintained at meta, and can be useful, there are tons of them, but their presence does not mean that this template is endorsed by the foundation. I've removed protection and redeleted this template; but you may want to build a case for it's recreation at its talk page and/or WP:VPM. Thanks, — xaosflux ^Talk 04:17, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

MIPS Assembly

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article MIPS Assembly, 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 Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:MIPS Assembly. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. – Mipadi 13:56, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi

Oh, hi :) I noticed your edits to the Vorbis article and I thought your username was familiar, but I didn't realize we had met at Hydrogenaudio. After I received your message, however, I remembered your avatar right away. Nice meeting you here. :) --Kjoonlee 10:07, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

XHTML and RDF

Saoshyant, I]m surprised to hear the XHTML did not validate with the RDF. Perhaps you did not declare the RDF namespace in the document. Once that’s declared it should be completely valid XML/XHTML/RDF. Also if you change the filename extension to .xhtml instead of .html, Konquorer should do the right thing with the RDF. That’s the way to process it as MIME type application/xhtml+xml when using a local file. As I said before, you should be able to use CSS to make sure the RDF is not displayed. --Cplot 15:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I looked at your file and it renders fine in Safari with a recent nightly build of the WebKit rendering engine. In the shipping version of WebKit, Safari indicates errors for all of your character entity references. My view is that those should be avoided with XML since unicode support will be better with XML processors than character entity reference support. But like I said, the recent builds of WebKit fixes this.

I think your code doesn’t validate because of a problem with the validator. I don’t see anything invalid in that code. I tried moving the rdf namespace declarations to the html element (just curious) and it still didn’t improve validation. BTW, the id attribute on the style element was technically invalid, in HTML 4.01, so I think there the validaor’s making a mistake. The errors related to the rdf and other namespaces are also problems with the validator however.

The problem you spoke about with Konquroer was reminiscent of problems I've seen with WebKit (which is based on KHTML) only when rednering as text/html. That"s why it sounded to me like KHTML is not processing the file as XML. I could be something else, but you might want to double check that somehow. I know with Safari it will move unrecognized elements out of the head and into the body unless the file is process as xml. Good luck with this. I like to see people finally pushing the envelope on XHTML. I tsounds to me like you]re not too concerned about IE support. If you are you could try serving as application/xml with the IE XSLT trick so IE will handle the XHTML properly. --Cplot 17:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Correction, I looked and it seems that the id attribute has been inadvertantly removed from the XHTML 1.1 DTD (it is in the XHTML 1.0 DTD). Again, I imagine those are errors in the DTD specification and that they didn’t intend to put it in there and take it back out again. --Cplot 18:06, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with the validator or the DTD. The document doesn’t validate because it isn’t valid. If you want it to validate, then you’ll have to write your own DTD which includes elements from the XHTML and RDF namespaces. It is a little pointless though, because even if the document validates, it still won’t be conformant.

Also, Konqueror treats XHTML as HTML when served with the correct XHTML MIME type. 82.40.253.242 11:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject Portugal

Hi, I saw your message on Linchers page. I've put together the {{maths rating}} template so I may be able to help. I had a brief look at the template it seems fine, are there any specific articles which you've rated but are not being classified. (you can reply here) --Salix alba (talk) 15:17, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Well, for one, I can't seem to have any article counted on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Portugal#Article_assessment. I assume it's an error on the Template I created to assess, but I'm not sure. It might also be an error on the stats.--Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 15:22, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

As Lincher says wait a day and see what happens. If problems persist drop us a note. --Salix alba (talk) 15:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Problem is, the problem's persiting for way longer than a day. The first articles to be assessed were almost two weeks ago...--Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 16:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Which article? One example would help in tracking down the problem. --Salix alba (talk) 16:39, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, Portugal for one. Or Portal:Portugal they are some of the first to have been tagged.--Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 16:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

The problem is the -related in the categories. Mathbot is succesfully creating Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Portugal-related articles by quality statistics but not Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Portugal articles by quality statistics. I've fixed the two pages which transcluded the statistics. --Salix alba (talk) 17:18, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Awesome! It works now. You have my grattitude.--Saoshyant ^{talk / contribs} (I don't like Wikipedophiles) 17:23, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

I'd like to and thanks for asking but I most likely won't. I've been feeling that Wikipedia is just not worth the trouble and I'm also not prepared to write articles or do a project just for someone with half a brain to come and change things with stupid comments and POVs.

Plan 9 and Ogg

A good place to find Plan 9 software is contrib index in the Plan 9 wiki, in particular cnielsen ported various ogg tools: http://plan9.bell-labs.com/wiki/plan9/Contrib_index/index.html#CNIELSEN --Lost Goblin 17:07, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I the players were ported earlier by someone else, just googling around I found this: [2], I also know people that uses jukefs (see juke(7)) with ogg files and I think flac files too. In any case you are probably best off asking the 9fans list for details. --Lost Goblin 15:24, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Ogg technology on BeOS/Haiku

Hey, apologies for not getting back at you sooner. You wondered whether Ogg technologies are supported.

The commercial application SoundPlay (http://www.xs4all.nl/~marcone/soundplay.html) has had support for Ogg Vorbis for many years.

I do not use Haiku myself but I do use Zeta, which turns out to be the ogg.extractor from Haiku. Furthermore, the system contains its own libogg.so which could have already been in BeOS before Be, Inc. went bankrupt. Furthermore, the VideoLan Client (VLC) has its own libogg.so and an additional libogg_plugin.so, SoundPlay also comes with its own libogg.so. Seen the similarities in code I have strong reason to believe that libogg.so was already provided in earlier versions of BeOS, although you will need to confirm this with someone who knows more about this.

Other than being able to confirm that Zeta and Haiku have support for Ogg Vorbis, I cannot guarantee that the other Ogg technologies are supported although I believe FLAC is.

Here is a little screenshot. The other search results (middle window) have to do with "logging". http://members.chello.nl/s.groen/screen_ogg.gif Eddyspeeder 00:53, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Template:Spoken Wikipedia boilerplate

Hi - Regarding your change to this template (does -> may), I'm a bit confused. How could a spoken version of a given date reflect subsequent edits to the article's text? -SCEhardT 04:47, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Nope, didn't revert the edit. I guess what I was saying is if the text has been edited then the spoken version does not reflect the changes. I don't really see how a spoken version could ever reflect subsequent edits (your point seems to be that the article may not have been edited, which is different). Basically I think using "does" will cause less confusion for people not familiar with the whole process (they won't be left wondering whether or not new changes are reflected in the spoken version.) However, it's not really a big deal so I'll leave it to you to decide whether to change it back or not :-)

I don't know when I'll have time to work on a spoken article, but I'll consider doing Vorbis when I get a chance. -SCEhardT 22:36, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

User boxes?

Hi, I saw you created a couple userboxes, how do you do it? I'd like to make an anti-trivia one --AW 18:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

user oops does not work on sub pages

I have a subpage for user boxes, not sure how many others do, but I found that I had to subst the user oops template and add the link to my talk page manually, since the {{PAGENAME}} function returned User_Talk:Jonaboff/UBX (a page that does not exist). Simply replacing {{PAGENAME}} with {{BASEPAGENAME}} will not affect the use of the template on user pages, but will allow use on first level sub pages.

Subst'ing the template was ok for me, but may not be for users less familiar with wiki mark-up.

I would have made the changes myself, but I thought this was the most polite thing to do.

Thanks, -- Jonaboff_talk 13:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I have changed the template, and have also added usage instructions to the template page. I have done the same to the other 3 versions.

20:24, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

I like your talk page... can I 'borrow' some ideas?

I am just enquiring as to whether you would mind me 'borrowing' the banner from the top of your talk page and the method of archival from your talk page.

Are they original ideas, or did you borrow them from someone else?

I also think that the "hidden comment method" should be included on Wikipedia:How to archive a talk page, as I think it is a simple, efficient and effective method. Unless you have objections I will go ahead and do this.

I have added the Werdnabot template to my page and set up an /archive subpage, although nothing has, as yet, been moved as my talk page has not been in use for very long.

Thanks, Jonaboff_talk

20:42, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

After some 30 seconds of deliberation, I decided to make my own talk page banner, although I am still interested in using the archive method. I may stick to the Werdnabot method anyway, so that my archive is searchable and can be linked to (why I want this, I don't quite know) but either way I think its simplicity would benefit other users so would like to add it to the How-to.

Thanks, Jonaboff_talk

RE: Help on Ogg

Thank you for the help. What I ended up doing was simply using RealPlayer to open these files instead of Windows Media Player. I want to be able to use the ogg files, here on wikipedia, without having to open a window and then drop them in. I'd much rather just be able to click on the ogg, here, and have them come up in, and that was accomplished through making RealPlayer my default for these kind of files. Is it possible to do this with Windows Media Player, though (i.e. simply opening ogg from Wikipedia and having them play in the player)? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Criticalthinker (talk • contribs) 20:39, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

José Manuel Durão Barroso

Hi! I am tagging and am trying to rate EU-related articles and I participate at WikiProject:European Union. I saw at the talk page of the article on Barroso that you have assessed it as A-class. I believe, considering the criteria and the process required even for a Good Article status, it is highly impossible that this article qualifies for A-class. For instance, though an important part of information seems to be there, there are no citations, the lead needs expansion, it is not updated, generally it is a short article for an ex-prime minister and a current President of the European Commission. In fact, it wouldn't be advisable to nominate it as candidate for GA status, before a lot of work has been done. I believe it is a B-class article (See the WP:EU/Assessment) and, if you don't disagree, I would like to change its rating. --Michkalas 21:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. Well, that was my personal opinion, I do not represent WP:EU. Improving an article beyond B-class is quite time consuming and demands some particular research for the subject. Rating an article it doesn't mean that all the possibly needed work has to be made by the same person. Anyway, maybe it is a good idea to submit the article to peer review or to WP:GA for a third opinion. Though the article is quite informative, it is probably overestimated. --Michkalas 16:23, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

You're right, <font> is not supported by the XHTML Strict doctype, but it is perfectly valid under Transitional/Frameset, and as Wikipedia uses Transitional, there's no problem ^_^

If you are in a hurry then you could contact Wikipedia:Bot requests and somebody with a bot would do the tagging for you. Happy editing, STTW (talk) 16:19, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I am also one of the key players for WP:FR, same here no barnstars :-( Should have joined WP:PCP, project with over 120 members to get recognition :-) BTW you may contact User:ST47 he/she will do the tagging for you as my computer will be intermittently online during the next two weeks.

Thanks for the message. It reminded me about the fact I kept that Userbox. I think I'm understanding how to format in Wikilanguage and the way Wikipedia works. Thank you though. Petrelg 21:38, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Age category

Hello! If you are receiving this message, that means that your user page is in a specific year category. Per a recent user-category per deletion, all specific year categories are to be deleted. If you wish to continue using year categories, you have two options:

• Using an age group category, such as Category:Wikipedians in their 30s
• Using a decade category, such as Category:Wikipedians born in the 1970s.

If you wish, you may do both. Hopefully, this change in categorization will be quick and painless. Happy editing! --An automated message from MessedRobot 13:11, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Quinta das Lágrimas

OI. preciso da tua opiniao aqui Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Quinta_das_Lágrimas as razoes sao obvias....alem disso o artigo da censura tem bastantes mais referencias...achas que ja sobe 1 ponto na escala? Galf 20:50, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Quinta das Lágrimas

Eu nem sou mto "apagadista" mas aquilo parece mais um spin que qquer outra coisa, o fulano que o criou tb fez ediçoes nos artigos que lá ligam, tudo numa manha e depois desapareceu. Eu n conheço o sitio, mas alem das "lendas" escapa-me porque é que é notavel...Em relaçao ao wiki pt.........eu so nao disse o mesmo que tu, pq quando eu me fiz o reparo que o artigo da censura, sendo FA em PT caiu para B e isso n abona muito em relaçao aos criterios que eles usam. e acrescentei "tem floreados a mais" e "parece que saiu direitinho do livro" aparentemente o Manuel Anastacio tomou isso pessoalmente e exigiu um pedido de desculpas porque ele jamais copiaria algo e bla bla bla....e partiu para o ataque. se quiseres ver, a discução esta na esplanada em PT. A razao de eu não contibuir em PT é a mesma que a tua. Não me está a apetecer ter discuções com gente que nunca aprendeu que n se escreve como se fala, que "gajo" e "chateado" não se podem usar nos exames de portugues. quando se lê paulo coelho (que eu n gosto, mas pronto) sabe-se que se esta a ler portugues, quando se le a wikipedia, tem-se a sençaçao que ou se esta a ler o script de uma novela brasileira ou se esta a ler um script do José Hermano Saraiva ("Foi Neste Preciso Local...." ele já tem artigo? one wonders). mas eu achei por bem n importunar mais as donzelas e quando ele acrescentou as referencias (depois de eu pedir, claro) saltei fora.a discução original está [aqui] se tiveres pachorra (que no meu tempo era outra palavra que n ficava bem nos exames...)

You left a message on my talk page. I get most of everything I think, except sources. What's a reliable source and all that. The main article I want to write would be about Connie Briscoe, but if there's information I know because I'm related to her, is that Original Research? And if it is, how would I find it elsewhere? I'm also not sure if interviews are imparial. --Millancad 20:53, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Portal:Portugal

Olá Saoshyant. Resolvi finalmente listar-me para a manutenção do portal. Visto ninguém se ter oposto à implementação do sistema do portal basco para rotação de conteúdo seleccionado , vou seguir em frente com a proposta. Porém, gostaria que desses uma olhada ao formato desse sistema e confirmares se concordas. Tem funcionado muito bem nesse portal. Mas vai precisar sempre da participação de pelo menos dois utilizadores para o conteúdo ser seleccionado. Por isso, gostaria também de saber se estarias disposto a participar (tanto a propor artigos/imagens/biografias para o portal, como a dar a tua opinião sobre conteúdo que outros utilizadores sugiram para selecção). Abraço. Húsönd 13:53, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, não há qualquer problema se a tua participação for esporádica. O sistema de rotação basco estipula que qualquer sugestão para o conteúdo do portal tem que ser apoiada por pelo menos mais um utilizador (além do nomeador) para poder ser seleccionada. Assim, basta que de vez em quando visites a página das sugestões e digas se concordas ou não que o conteúdo seja seleccionado (tal como acontece aqui). Abraço, Húsönd 23:45, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

thank you!

Saoshyant article

References Ivo, you and I are going to disagree about the usefulness of the {{unreferenced}} tag - it was created precisely for articles like this. Rather than inserting a {{fact}} tag after every statement, this denotes that the article at large has no sourced statements. As for why I didn't go find sources for the article, that would simply be too much of a hassle for me. I would like to know about the topic, which is why I read the Wikipedia article in the first place, but it would be nice if Wikipedians directed me to their sources as well. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 18:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Patricia tavares.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Patricia tavares.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:14, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

The Xiph logo

Hi, I'm some guy. Okay not just any guy: a guy in Xiph, the makers of Vorbis, Ogg, etc. Anyway, just noticed you uploaded our logo here and that's a big no no for us. You used the rationale of our Wiki license (CC BY 3.0) but that doesn't apply to the logo. Listen, I'm not here to badmout you, but I don't have time to solve this, get with the mods, ask for deletion, proper reason, etc. I would appreciate if you would help me out. I understand you are using the logo for advocating the use of Vorbis and that's awesome; we really need people to help us promoting our formats, but try to avoid to use the Xiph own logo as that is trademarked. We have a free-logo, though, that you can use for this purpose: it's the one we use for Spread Open Media and it's released on the Public Domain. You can find it on Wikimeda Commons under the Category Spread Open Media. I personally like this blue version, which I'm not sure I ever got to upload to Commons. If you care about this issue, reply on my user page or e-mail me, whatever you prefer.--Ivo Emanuel Gonçalves ^{talk / contribs} (join WP:PT) 04:10, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for contacting me. I have requested "speedy deletion" of this image file by adding {{Db-imgcopyvio}} to the licensure section of Image:Xiph.org.gif. Usually speedied images are removed within a few hours.

I will look for free replacement images at Wikipedia Commons some time later.

I regret this error and hope it has not damaged your image in any way. / edg ☺ ☭ 06:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

The explanation at Image:XiphophorusLogoSVG.svg indicates there was going to be a discussion about the possibility of freely licensing the logo (note that it's generally accepted that a free copyright license would not interfere with your trademark); did that discussion ever happen? —Random832 16:58, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Patricia tavares.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Patricia tavares.jpg. 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) 21:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Accusations

On Talk:Theora you called me "a supporter of MPEG-4" and accused me of having an "agenda". Almost a month after I asked for your source for such claims, you've provided none. Consider this a friendly 2-week warning. If you're not going to respond to at least clarify, I will remove the accusation in your statement. I've given you plenty of time because of the holidays, but rest assured, I don't take libel lightly. Rcooley (talk) 01:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

How did you determine what my IP address was? What is the specific IP address you've assumed is mine? What "open source application" involving MPEG-4 do you refer to? Could you point to the specific edit you assume is mine? If you've really just made an honest mistake, and aren't trying to smear me, I'd like to find the cause.

Madeira

The reason for the creation of all the work groups of the Africa WikiProject is that thoae areas are physically in Africa, but they are currently politically tied to other countries. I have no reason to believe that those territories are likely to declare independence anytime soon, but the possibility exists. Therefore, the separate work groups were created as subprojects of both Africa and their "parent" countries. In many cases, editors familiar with Africa will be better informed on some of the aspects of these regions, in fields like geology, wildlife, etc., and in those cases the ties to Africa are useful. Otherwise, in terms of political matters and some history, the ties to the parent state are useful. The current categorization of the Madeira work group also automatically places assessed articles in subcategories of the appropriate Portugal articles by quality and importance categories as well, so that the articles will appear on both project's assessment statistics charts. This format permits eventually both a greater focus on the overseas territories than they have often to date received while maintaining the ties to both parent projects. Actually, such work groups have been created for all the overseas territories of European states. It does create a bit more complexity, but it deals with complex matters like overseas territories. As I finish the various recognized content sections, the content there will be added to the similar sections of both parent projects as well, thus allowing both projects to at least potentially help improve or maintain the most important content, as well as all the other articles. Basically, it is somewhat following the model of the Military history and other similar projects, which often use the same set up. John Carter (talk) 14:03, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Portugal project banner

It didn't already have it. I tried to nest it on a talkpage and it didn't work, so I added it in. I then checked the history as I thought it was extremely odd that it didn't have it and it turns out Dbachmann removed it with these three edits, presumably as a copy and paste since it says that the template is transcluded 100,000 times (it isn't). Currently, as far as I am aware, there is no redundancy in the coding and everything is back to normal. Regards. Woody (talk) 23:44, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Help with Ogg Vorbis file downsizing?

Greetings.

I am attempting to upload some video to Wikipedia for an article I am currently working on. I have uploaded the video in the proper .ogv format but the bitrate and size are too large. While I have been able to properly edit down the length of the video and even the quality to a lower level I cannot seem to find a way to decrease the dimension of the file to something smaller like 320x240. As it stands now the file is currently about 3 times that size and not acceptable to be included in an article due to the demanding connection it would require. The program I am attempting to use is ffmpeg2theora which features several useful commands but lacks Oggresize for its latest version. If you can provide any assistance I would be grateful and if you need any more details regarding my problem I would be all too happy to provide them. Thank you. say anybob 05:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC) User_talk:anybob

Can't really help you aside suggesting you keep tweaking with the settings in ffmpeg2theora. The advanced settings leave a lot of room to reduce quality in minor places the eye barely notices but that do help reducing the file size. You can also reduce the audio bitrate to about 128kbps or less without noticing that drastic a reduction on the audio quality.--Ivo ^{talk / contribs} (join Project Portugal) 15:23, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
