Misplaced Pages

Latest revision as of 06:31, 16 December 2024

Merhaba Katpatuka, Ben de Wikipadia ile yeni tanistim. Cok faydali olabilecek bir uygulama... Maalesef ilk tecrubelerim cok ic acici degil. Kubra adli yonetici tarafindan erisimim engellendi. Fethullah Gulen hakkindaki makaleyi tarafsiz hale getirmeye calisiyordum. Erisimin serbest kalmasini gerceklestirmen mumkun mu? Tesekkurler... User:RGulerdem

Re:Unwanted reverts

Hi Katpatuka. I am sorry if I reverted your talk page. I am a member of Misplaced Pages:Esperanza and a Misplaced Pages:Administrator in the English Misplaced Pages and I reverted your talk page as I considered the actions of RGulerden as vandalism as there was a welcoming message from a member of the Welcoming comittee before him! Sorry if that disputed you! Cheers -- Szvest 04:33, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

tr:Mikrofilm

Erm... I hadn't checked, but it seems that the image in Microfilm was actually commons:Image:Microfiche.jpg (I just changed it for commons:Image:Microform-reader.jpeg). You might use that one as well (although it's also of a microfiche reader – you can see what a microfiche looks like just under the screen, its name – "Microform-reader" – is less embarrassing). ;-)

As for the difference between Microfilm and Microfiche, the simplest explanation lies in Microform: microfilms usually are reels, much like camera films, while microfiches are flat sheets, usually with 7 rows of 14 images, though the image you used is of a COM microfiche, with 15 rows of 18 images. EjpH 22:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, AFAICT, there's no image of a microfilm reader or of a microfilm reel yet on commons, that's correct. I have suggested in the French equivalent of tr:Vikipedi:Köy çeşmesi that someone takes a photograph of a microfilm reader and uploads it to commons. EjpH 08:43, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
I have also posted a request in Commons:Picture_requests#Microform. EjpH 15:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Help me out with a copyright tag

I found you as a random person I picked that has the native German speaker userbox. Could you look at commons:Template:NAUMANN, and tell me anything from www.biologie.uni-hamburg.de/b-online/birds/naumann.htm that relates to copyrights, authors, and publishing dates? There are many images on wikipedia that would benefit from the use of this template if I can confirm this template's claims are valid. Thanks. Kevin_b_er 06:13, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Mongolian toponymics

Hi! You recently made some edits to Mongolia-related articles. Please be a bit careful about redirecting stuff, as you did with Ih-Uul: Many toponymics in Mongolia are not unique, there are a number of places called Jargalant, several Tsagaan Nuurs, and heaps of places (mostly mountains, though) named Ih-Uul. I.e. in many cases, it is better to start a text search before creating a redirect, lest you create a redirect where a disambiguation page would be better. Best regards, Yaan (talk) 13:19, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Why "gol" instead of "Gol"?

In English "Gol" is a Mongolian river personal name part, so it is with the capital letter and next "river" is added. In Mongolian - no, because it means "river", grammatically necessary personal name part in Mongolian.

Or we will translate "Gol" as a "river" (like Orkhon river). Your option is a third, but never adopted in any discussion.Bogomolov.PL (talk) 14:00, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Offline sources of Mongolian toponyms

Several weeks ago I've got the complete set of Mongolian (2003 issue) topo maps (1:500 000, in Mongolian). I think it can be used as official(=relevant) source for the actual Mongolian toponyms. Romanization rules are: Misplaced Pages:Naming conventions (Mongolian), so Ih-Uul is not correct, but Ikh-Uul only. Bogomolov.PL (talk)

Offline sources are Copyright protected, so we can use them in a paper form, but scanning not for the private use is prohibited, sorry. But this is every map or atlas problem, you see. Bogomolov.PL (talk) 14:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Re. Ikh-Uul or Ih-Uul, usage of umlauts etc., this convention of course only applies within Misplaced Pages. Mongolians use a slightly different system for their passports, and a "scientific" transcription may look yet different. Of course on osm, you might opt to simply use cyrillic letters. The project looks indeed interesting, but I already spend too much time on WP. Regards, Yaan (talk) 15:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Tosontsengel

Hi. I think it is pointless to create two-entry dab pages. A hatnote on one page will take everything much easier and would lessen the clicks of the searchers. Best, --brewcrewer (yada, yada) 21:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

hydrological sources for China

I'm sorry, I could only give you four pdf files as below, it is all in Chinese characters. Usually I find the reservoir or lake in Google Earth manuelly. --Doctoroftcm (talk) 11:56, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

• 中国水库名称代码. Code for Chinese reservoirs
• 中国湖泊名称代码 Code for Chinese lakes
• 中国河流名称代码 Code for Chinese rivers
• 中国蓄滞洪区名称代码 Code for Chinese flood retarding basin

You can find the meaning of the codes in Chapter 3 in every file, I think you could use Google Translate or download a dictionary software like Youdao, Ciba. For example, AAA18006 is Xun River, the 1st character "A" means river("B" means reservoir); the 2nd character means first grade of river basin, "A" as River Amur; the 3rd character means second grade of river basin, "A" means the river inflow into River Amur directly; then the 4th & 5th characters are the serial numbers of first grade tributary; the 6th & 7th characters are second grade; the last number explain the category of the river, "6" means it is a tributary of another river.

The file 中国河流名称代码 Code for Chinese rivers just collect the major river of China, a lot of little river are not in it. So You can't find the river flowing past 平都镇 in the file. I checked a Jiangxi Atlas, the river is the upstream of Lushui(泸水), a tributary of Heshui(zh:禾水), Chenshanhe(陈山河) is a tributary of Lushui(泸水), 牛吼江&六八河 are two names of one river(zh:灉水), which is a tributary of Heshui(禾水) too. You can ask User:Camphora, he is a native of Taihe, Ji'an. --Doctoroftcm (talk) 09:10, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

How do I creat File:Xinfengjiang Reservoir.svg: 1. find it in Google Maps, screenshot it and save as jpg file; 2.use Inkscape to transform to svg file.

File:Jiangxi Guangfeng.svg is transformed from File:Jiangxi Yiyang.svg, which created by User:Camphora.--Doctoroftcm (talk) 03:09, 16 October 2010 (UTC) Doctoroftcm (talk)

Conic sections.png

Hello. You had made a nice diagram about the conic sections which I use now in an article. But it has a mistaken element: the yellow line declines although the yellow plane is definitely horizontal, of course. Maybe you still have the original source for this image. At this case I ask you for making the correction to have the proper shape. Or if you don't have the liking to do this than I can edit the bitmap file. And one more proposition: the vertical axis of the cone also could be nice to see in the solid, too. Tschüss! - Orion 8 (talk) 19:22, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

All right, I'll call the original author. The declination is really not too much, but it has to cause the clear feeling in the visitor that this plane is perpendicular to the axis. Never mind, thank you for your response. Bye. - Orion 8 (talk) 22:27, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Linking OSM and Misplaced Pages

Hi there - I saw your interest in OSM. I've been thinking about how to make tagging of objects easier, and just put some code into a gadget, see mw:User:Bjohas/OSMgadget. The gadget inserts a section at the top of the page, and displays the result of an OSM search for wikidata and title. If nothing is found, you can use a direct link to OSM to try and spot the object manually. Not sure it's useful to you, but perhaps you'd like to try it. All the best wishes.

Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment.

Cut-and-paste moves

Hi Katpatuka,

When moving content between pages, please use either the move function to rename the page or follow the steps outlined at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. A cut-and-paste move, such as the one you performed from Quảng Bình District to Quang Bình District on 12 January 2018 breaks attribution and violates Misplaced Pages's copyright policy.

If you have any questions in general, or about a specific instance of moving content between pages, please do not hesitate to ask me at my talk page.

Best, -- Black Falcon 17:31, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

@Black Falcon: As far as I remember while looking at the history of both Quang Binh (hope you've studied both too) the name Quảng Bình District was wrongly created so I've just copy/pasted its content into the correct name Quang Bình District which existed (and was not created by me). I do not understand where copyright policy could be violated by doing so... --katpatuka (talk) 18:31, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

Your recollection is correct, and sorry, I should have offered a more specific link. Misplaced Pages:Copyrights#Reusing text within Misplaced Pages requires crediting the editors who contributed to a page's content when moving content from one page to another. In this case, you appropriately mentioned the source article Quảng Bình District in your edit summary. However, in a case such as this where one page redirects to the other, it is preferable to move the page using the 'Move' function so the page history is transferred automatically. I hope that helps. Cheers, -- Black Falcon 18:44, 29 September 2019 (UTC)

@Geographyinitiative: Thank you ;) --katpatuka (talk) 09:07, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

In the past two months, I have done some basic work on minor locations in the counties of Hotan Prefecture. I can't actually read Uyghur, so I would appreciate any review or check you would be willing to do of any of that material. Thanks for your time. Geographyinitiative (talk) 09:16, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@Geographyinitiative: Unfortunately I can neither read/speak Chinese nor Uighur ;) ...although I'm editing quite a bit in zh.wiki - but just because I stumble on so many issues while editing on osm --katpatuka (talk) 09:25, 17 January 2020 (UTC)

@Katpatuka: Let me know if you ever need some help. I can read Mandarin Chinese and can probably help with Classical and other Chinese varieties. Geographyinitiative (talk) 02:25, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

@Geographyinitiative: Thanks - I'd rather need someone who can read Tibetan :) --katpatuka (talk) 07:00, 19 January 2020 (UTC)

link: Guangzong Temple

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Alxa League, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Guangzong Temple. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Thanks for notification - I've corrected the link. --katpatuka (talk) 10:26, 27 November 2020 (UTC)

Speedy on Doruk, Mustafakemalpaşa

Hello Katpatuka -- Unfortunately I don't think there's any speedy category that encompasses this, even if it is wrong; you might try WP:Proposed deletion or obviously you could take it to WP:Articles for deletion. Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 20:36, 28 October 2022 (UTC)

@Espresso Addict: ok, thanks for the advice - I've added template:proposed deletion instead. --katpatuka (talk) 05:46, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
