Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 23:30, 4 November 2006

see user_talk:Attilios/Archives

What's your map priority?

Attilios, of all the maps in User:Attilios/Map which would you like reworked first? I like the Livonia one, myself, but you no doubt are looking for some before others. It generally takes me a week or 2 for a map, so don't expect anything soon (unfortunately). And I may not be able to get to them all. MapMaster 19:22, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Two questions:

• In what article will the new Livonia map be used? I like to try to tailor each map to an article (or articles) and use the same names as used in the article etc.
• What is the source of that map I am reworking? I like to include my sources on the Misplaced Pages Commons page.

Thanks, MapMaster 23:48, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I'm done with the map and I think it turned out well! I also found quite a large number of articles that could use the map. I would be happy to translate it into Italian (or any language) if I had the help. Hope you like it. As you may know from my other maps, I am not able to include all the detail of the paper maps, primarily due to the lack of resolution available onscreen. Let me know of any errors or improvements.

Fastifex

I'm sorry to here he's gone: I was really hoping to resolve this. Luckily he was being cooperative -- which is more than you can say about a lot of people involved with this kind of stuff! It's unfortunate that he hasn't been around, as he did contribute many helpful and constructive edits; hopefully if he comes back he'll look over WP:STYLE and work it into his subsequent contributions. Best regards, — Editor at Large 01:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Il mio inglese

Hai ragione fa schifo e quello che mi riesce suona davvero scolastico :) Non concordo però con te nel rimuovere tutte le mie ultime aggiunte in Gaetano Bedini .. alcune cose si capivano benissimo .. come tra l'altro la rimozione della "genealogia episcopale" e della "successione espiscopale" --Genovese 07:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

The Pizza Tapes

Thanks for the edits to The Pizza Tapes. It looks better than it did before. Half of what you did I forgot to do, and the other half I forgot about. Looks better now, even though I spent a lot of time on it (and even taught myself how to make music sample in .ogg formatting) there's still little bits here and there. Thanks again.

Paris Commune Flag

Atilios,

Sorry to revert your flag "move" on the French communes templates, but the pretext for your change was all wrong - there are no "standards" on Wiki. I do understand that the flag "down there" has yet to be adopted elsewhere, but please give it a chance. I'm just getting used to it myself. In fact, this solution seems much less awkward than putting the flag in the template, and there's something to say to the discression of its placement... if you have a better suggestion please suggest it, but until then please give the "new design" (and he who made it) a chance. Thanks and again apologies. THEPROMENADER 22:29, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:IpertensioneVecc.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:IpertensioneVecc.jpg. Misplaced Pages gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Misplaced Pages, 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:

• Misplaced Pages:Image use policy
• Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags

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 Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. 10:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Fortichiari

Hi and sorry for the delayed reply. I've rephrased and moved some stuff around in the process, but hopefully have not altered the meaning. Keep in touch. Dahn 15:50, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

No prob. I'm glad to help. Dahn 19:52, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:1FW 190-D9 2 giallo Copyright Giovanni Paulli.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:1FW 190-D9 2 giallo Copyright Giovanni Paulli.jpg, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in its not being deleted. Thank you. ericg ✈ 17:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC) ericg ✈ 17:54, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Copyrighted images, especially with restrictive licenses like 'must display copyright and url', don't allow readers of the wikipedia to reuse them in other works as fully PD images do. It's a nice image, but somebody could easily make a free version of it without any restrictions, and we've got plenty of Fw 190 pictures as it stands. If it was released into the public domain by the creator, then there would be no problem, but instead he's granted wikipedia exceptionally limited rights to display it. ericg ✈ 16:18, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Panarjedde

You bet he is involved in edit wars. And the worst part about his edit war with me is that he had no recent history on those pages. Kingjeff 22:35, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't think you're going to get a response from this guy. He's deleted your message and he doesn't archive from what I know. Kingjeff 15:24, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

He's been at his little tricks again. Check Addhoc talk page. Kingjeff 18:44, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Attilios! One request

I refer to the edit by WmLGann, 13:49, 27 October 2006 in the article Coimbatore

I am particularly concerned with the following edits:

No. 1

"is one of the major industrial cities in South India" to

"is an industrial city in South India. "

No. 2

"It is the second largest city in Tamil Nadu after Chennai and the fourth largest city in South India." to

"It has the second largest population in Tamil Nadu after Chennai and the fourth largest in South India."

The objective of both the edits is not clear.

Coimbatore is one of the largest industrial cities in India. The annual export alone, from this region is over US$ 1 billion. . The city is well known for its heavy industrial activity.

Coming to edit No. 2, a city when being sorted among the largest cities, is usually sorted based on the population. The highest populated city in any country is the biggest city in that country. In that case, though the edit by WmLGann is not miscommunicating, it does not make any sense or it does not improve the article in any way.

So I kindly request you to revert it.

The Incredulity of Saint Thomas (Caravaggio)

I was surprised to see this tagged for speedy deletion. The speedy tagger claims that it is taken from this page at the Web Gallery of Art site. I notice that you have posted this page. I think you should be given a chance to weigh in before the page is deleted. Perhaps your text is actually the original and the Web Gallery of Art has taken the text from Misplaced Pages?

Your edit on Rome's infobox

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --Nehwyn 22:44, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

A reply has been posted to your comment on my talk page. --Nehwyn 23:50, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Arborea

You asked a while back about biographies of its rulers. I cannot find any information. Do you know of sources I could search for? Srnec 05:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Modica

Ciao, mi rendo conto che il mio inglese non è il massimo ma allora potremmo unire la mia conoscenza della storia di Modica alla tua competenza linguistica? In fondo il mio, sebbene "poor", è un inglese comprensibile e, quel che più conta, le informazioni che vorrei inserire sono della massima correttezza, neutrali e aggiornate su opere di storici di grido, non certo di pseudo scrittorucoli di paese... Attendo risposta, grazie!

WikiProject Italy

Is there a WikiProject Italy? It might be helpful for your situation. Kingjeff 03:28, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Would you be interested in start the project with me? We could see if there are more interested. Kingjeff 22:44, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Here is the location of the proposed page. Maybe you could also help out with Austrian WikiProject. Kingjeff 23:37, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject Italy/Naples

Sure, I could do that. What would I do that I don't already do? Jeffmatt 06:23, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

AMA case

Hi, I'm going to be your advocate for the AMA case. Addhoc 16:02, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Panarjedde

I found the term that could get Panarjedde banned. "Gaming the system" means the use of Misplaced Pages rules to thwart Misplaced Pages policy. In his case, he reverted 13 times on different articles in a few hours. Even though it technically isn't against the rules to revert more then 3 times on different articles, it goes against the spirit of the rule. So this is a possibility to get him banned.
