keep your choices open

I can understand why you may want to take a wikibreak, even an indefinite one, but please do not permanently close this and your options to return one day. Slrubenstein | Talk 00:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

The wikibreak was slightly shorter than anticipated :) In fact, I was asleep during most of it, safe from wikidrama. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 08:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi

Hope to see you back soon. All the best, Verbal chat 06:28, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

You made the right decision

Glad you decided to stay. This would have been a great loss to Misplaced Pages.--Ramdrake (talk) 11:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I haven't been active on Misplaced Pages much lately and I don't know what happened in the recent incident but I'm glad you're still around. Cheers. --Folantin (talk) 10:25, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks. I wish you all the best in your future edits to wikipedia. Cheers, Mathsci (talk) 01:09, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

The sky is blue

By the way, your recent comments regarding a certain editor were appropriate and made me happy.OrangeMarlin 22:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. BTW I very much appreciated your discussion with MastCell and Calisber. Best wishes, Mathsci (talk) 22:43, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I've been told to stay out of it. I'm sitting on my hands. However, there is so much going on I could just laugh.OrangeMarlin 00:29, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Photo-montage for Marseille

Hello, could you explain why the photo-montage is "completely unsuitable for template" ? Thank you for precisions. Cordially, En-bateau (talk) 03:20, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Bonjour, En-bateau ! Unfortunately your collage has been put up for deletion, presumably because of some copyright issues in compiling the image. When you used the flickr images, did you check the copyright types? BTW, bienvenu à l'encyclopédie anglophone ! (Je vois que tu utilises le même pseudo sur la wikipédie française.) Mathsci (talk) 03:47, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

The deletion page on wikimedia commons is here. I think that the two flickr license types are apparently incompatible (view down boulevard d'Athènes and view of Notre-Dame-de-la-Garde). Mathsci (talk) 03:55, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the answer ! But I don't understand. The two photographs are originally from http://www.flickr.com/photos/nicsuzor/345924229/sizes/o/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/20661491@N04/2149566044/sizes/o/ and I thought that Commons accepts CC-BY and CC-BY-SA licences. Could you explain to me what the problem is ? Thank you for your patience, Cordially, En-bateau (talk) 19:21, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Bonsoir. There are 2 different categories for flickr that can be put on WP, "attribution license" and "attribution-sharealike license" (the first and last here). Apparently it's not permitted to mix the two licenses in a collage. I liked your collage for other French cities more than the one for Marseille. Some time back I searched the two categories on flickr, but the really nice pictures (eg night-time shots of Cours Julien) were unfortunately not in this category. It might be time to have another look. A bientot, Mathsci (talk) 19:29, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

All right. In the future, if you have free pictures that you like, tell me and I will make a better montage. Maybe it could be more efficient if I ask to people what they want to see in the montage for their city before make it... Cordially, En-bateau (talk) 19:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
