Image copyright problem with Image:Baustistasoler.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Baustistasoler.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Misplaced Pages takes copyright very seriously.

Duplicate images uploaded

Thanks for uploading Image:Baustistasoler2.jpg. A machine-controlled robot account noticed that you also uploaded the same image under the name Image:Baustistasoler.jpg. The copy called Image:Baustistasoler.jpg has been marked for speedy deletion since it is redundant. If this sounds okay to you, there is no need for you to take any action.

"Wags"

Hi Tris. I've retracted User:Thingg's warnings for "vandalism" which were probably issued over a cultural misunderstanding. As far I know, "wag" isn't a well known term outside the United Kingdom. For example, in Australia, calling someone a wag carries derogatory connotations that someone is immature or uneducated (wiktionary:wag). So before you continue mass-tagging biographies as "WAGs", I suggest you bring it up at Misplaced Pages:Categories for discussion first because the confusion you may cause might outweigh the merits to creating such a category. --  Netsnipe   ►  17:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. Major, MAJOR my bad on that one. I'm really sorry about that. Please accept my sincere apologies. Thingg 17:39, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for apologising. As long as there's no trace left on my account of having "vandalised" a page, even though I haven't, then that's fine. Tris2000 (talk) 17:43, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, well, I'm not really familiar with British soccer. (I live in the United States and the only meaning of WAG that I knew of was purely derogatory) Just a word of advice though, this kind of talk page comments are probably not a good thing to write per WP:CIVIL. Thingg 18:35, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough, but calling me a "vandal" when I'm not is not particularly civil either. Anyway, let's draw a line under it now shall we?Tris2000 (talk) 08:01, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to apologize for my last comment. That was uncalled for on my part. Cheers! Thingg 02:56, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

Any chance you could pop over to Misplaced Pages:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2008_June_6 to offer some support on this issue again? I've brought it up for discussion as per recommendations, but there does not appear to be a single Brit on that discussion area, and they are all saying delete because it's trivial. Tris2000 (talk) 10:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Try raising the issue at Misplaced Pages:UK Wikipedians' notice board. --  Netsnipe  ►  10:12, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - have done so!Tris2000 (talk) 10:23, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thrush

I think your additions to the Thrush page are at the wrong article. All the European Thrushes are in the genus Turdus, so the food etc should be there, since it doesn't apply to the many other genera, or more likely at Song Thrush, since most other species don't migrate to the Mediterranean countries. Also note that you could add {{es icon}} Template:Es icon to the Spanish refs jimfbleak (talk) 15:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Jimfbleak: I had wanted to put it in Turdidae, but that redirects to Thrush (bird) which is why I got a bit confused. I have now found a page on the EU website, which refers to Valencians hunting thrush using parany (birdlime), but then goes on to mention the four members of the Turdus family that Valencians can hunt. See: Case C-79/03 which mentions the word "thrush" without referring to the four types on many occasions. I will therefore bow down to your knowledge on where exactly it should go... I'll add the {{es icon}} Template:Es icon as well. Tris2000 (talk) 15:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Further to my last comment, I have now added that EU page into the subsection, and await your recommendation regarding where it should be moved to. My guess is, although redwing and other birds are also permitted game in Valencia using birdlime, I think it should go under songthrush if not under thrush. Tris2000 (talk) 15:39, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I've moved it to Song Thrush, by far the most likely. Since that's a featured article, is it possible to have better refs for the cuisine section than the on-line recipes? Failing that, they need to be formatted using citeweb. I've move the icon to the front again for consistency with the existing refs

Thanks - I don't have access to any other recipe resources other than the on-line ones, so perhaps won't bother linking to them... anyone wanting to find out can always Google it if possible. Thanks for doing this. I'll add the EU article as well, as it's a very informative one. It disappeared between your and my edits. Tris2000 (talk) 15:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Please ignore, just realised you've moved the EU article ref across as well. :-) Tris2000 (talk) 15:58, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for doing this, Jimfbleak. Since this is obviously a topic you have an interest in, do you have any idea why on birdlime there is that strange Cyclopaedia reference above my references? And any way of stopping it starting with "1" and then restarting "1" again? It's actually a pretty badly put together article that will need some tidying up at a later date, methinks. Tris2000 (talk) 16:13, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

I've fixed the hoopoe bit and the stay number, I think the cyclopaedia bit can go when it's tidied up. jimfbleak (talk) 18:29, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Your comment @ Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Sam Tyler

Hello, I'd just like to say that I agree with everything you said and it was very well put forward, also thanks for helping to keep the articles rather than delete, it should have never been put up for deletion. Thanks, ] (] · ])☺ 14:50, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome! Sometimes I really do wonder why people nominate articles like this for deletion when there's so much obvious rubbish such as hoax pages and personal pages that do warrant deletion. This is a clear contender for inclusion and I'd be surprised now if Gene or Sam will be deleted/merged, although not sure whether the will allow the others to stay as well! I hope so.
