King K. Rool new AfD
Hi Skynxnex, a deletion review for King K. Rool was conducted at the request of an editor. The consensus was that the original debate was correctly closed, however there is potential new information to consider. As a participant in the original AfD, I invite you to participate in the new AfD if you would like. The new AfD is located at Articles for deletion/King K. Rool (2nd nomination); please also see my comments at Deletion review/Log/2024 February 19. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 23:29, 5 March 2024 (UTC)

New Pages Patrol newsletter April 2024
Hello ,

Backlog update: The October drive reduced the article backlog from 11,626 to 7,609 and the redirect backlog from 16,985 to 6,431! Congratulations to, who led with over 2,300 points.

Following that, New Page Patrol organized another backlog drive for articles in January 2024. The January drive started with 13,650 articles and reduced the backlog to 7,430 articles. Congratulations to, who achieved first place with 1,340 points in this drive.

Looking at the graph, it seems like backlog drives are one of the only things keeping the backlog under control. Another backlog drive is being planned for May. Feel free to participate in the May backlog drive planning discussion.

It's worth noting that both queues are gradually increasing again and are nearing 14,034 articles and 22,540 redirects. We encourage you to keep contributing, even if it's just a single patrol per day. Your support is greatly appreciated!

2023 Awards won the 2023 cup with 17,761 article reviews last year - that's an average of nearly 50/day. There was one Platinum Award (10,000+ reviews), 2 Gold Awards (5000+ reviews), 6 Silver (2000+), 8 Bronze (1000+), 30 Iron (360+) and 70 more for the 100+ barnstar. led on redirect reviews by clearing 36,175 of them. For the full details, see the Awards page and the Hall of Fame. Congratulations everyone for their efforts in reviewing!

WMF work on PageTriage: The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers deployed the rewritten NewPagesFeed in October, and then gave the NewPagesFeed a slight visual facelift in November. This concludes most major work to Special:NewPagesFeed, and most major work by the WMF Moderator Tools team, who wrapped up their major work on PageTriage in October. The WMF Moderator Tools team and volunteer software developers will continue small work on PageTriage as time permits.

Recruitment: A couple of the coordinators have been inviting editors to become reviewers, via mass-messages to their talk pages. If you know someone who you'd think would make a good reviewer, then a personal invitation to them would be great. Additionally, if there are Wikiprojects that you are active on, then you can add a post there asking participants to join NPP. Please be careful not to double invite folks that have already been invited.

Reviewing tip: Reviewers who prefer to patrol new pages within their most familiar subjects can use the regularly updated NPP Browser tool.

Reminders:
 * You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Pages Patrol Discord.
 * Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.
 * To opt out of future mailings, please remove yourself here.

ev vehicles causing pot holes to increase
I think my assesment is accurate and carries some factual weight and should therefore be included ...instead EVs can do no wrong attitude many people have. there not the answer we need to reduce emissions and are floored in many ways this being one example 81.99.172.25 (talk) 04:56, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Sure but the short description of an article isn't the correct place to put such information. See WP:Short description. As for your third edit, Special:Diff/1218515384, I'm not sure if axle load should have that information, probably something about EVs in particular would be a better place, and it needs to be written in an encyclopedic style and should ideally be WP:SOURCED. Skynxnex (talk) 04:59, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * can you help me do this as I'm new to this and my writing isn't that good please!? 81.99.172.25 (talk) 05:09, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If you have good sources talking about this topic with evidence, consider modifying in a neutral way sections such as Electric car. Health and environmental effects of battery electric cars is the main article about the topic and it looks like it needs some attention. In particular, consider that Wikipedia has decided it's not a place to WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS (read that in particular).
 * You may like reading something like Help:Introduction or Help:Contents for more guidance about how to edit, both technically and our style. You can also start a WP:DISCUSSION on a particular article's talk page to proposal ideas to improve the article.
 * If you want a place where you may get more content-specific help than I'm able to give right now, consider trying the teahouse if you think you have a question that's easy to answer. Hope this helps. Skynxnex (talk) 05:23, 12 April 2024 (UTC)

Please help me in the creation Ucodelite Article
Can you Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk) 15:36, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @Mehzabin P S Alvi, I'm not sure how much help I can be. I think the advice in Articles for deletion/Ucodelite (2nd nomination) is basically correct. In my quick searches, I'm just not seeing any sign of WP:significant coverage in WP:reliable sources of Ucodelite. Without that, English Wikipedia has collectively decided software products shouldn't be included in the encyclopedia. Assuming it is deleted this time, it will be much more difficult for a future article if (not when) there is coverage of it. The way forward would be to find sources that meet our requirements (please make sure you read and understand them) and then create a well-sourced, non-overly promotional article and submit it via AFC. If the AFC is declined, don't try to force it into the article space.
 * If you want to contribute to Wikipedia, I'd suggest find another topics on which to improve existing articles. Something like Community portal or Task Center may be helpful. Happy editing. Skynxnex (talk) 16:38, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your response.
 * I'm reaching out because there is a software program named CodeLite that can be easily confused with another program called Ucodelite. I wanted to clarify that these are two distinct software products with different features. Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk) 17:03, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * My inquiry stems from encountering software called "CodeLite" documented on Wikipedia. I couldn't locate any information regarding "Ucodelite." Given the similar naming convention, I wanted to confirm if these are distinct software programs with unique features Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk) 17:05, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * @Mehzabin P S Alvi They seem to be totally unrelated, yes. In my experience in the tech-sphere for products at this level, the difference between CodeLite and Ucodelite is enough to avoid most confusion on Wiki. Questions about overall confusion is outside of the realm of what might be addressed on Wiki. Skynxnex (talk) 17:07, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * They are related both are IDE's Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk) 17:24, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If you're thinking Wikipedia should include Ucodelite stuff, go for it! Just make sure it's all good quality and fits the Wikipedia mold. Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk) 17:29, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * And i'm tired of getting declined or deleted Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk) 17:32, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries if that's not your thing. Thanks for the suggestions! Mehzabin P S Alvi (talk) 17:34, 18 April 2024 (UTC)

Fort Worth, Texas
I ask myself quite calmly why the pure truth is deleted, because what is ‘promotional content’ if you write factually, unemotionally and consisting only of the truth in the article of ‘Fort Worth’ to the section ‘Media’ that the word mark ‘The Fort Worth Press’ has been secured and the former daily newspaper ‘The Fort Worth Press’ has been revived and is published daily in 5 languages, around the clock, seven days a week? Well, you have to have a lot of authority of your own and consider yourself important if you suppress the truth, dear ‘’‘Skynxnex’‘’ you should think about that in peace, because the truth should not be suppressed and to use a flimsy reason ‘inappropriate advertising’, well that is factually and calmly said, a bad style! I recommend that you take an unemotional look here and convince yourself of the truth: https://www.TheFortWorthPress.com — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.187.114.241 (talk • contribs) 10:47, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Hey, a website using the name of the previous newspaper would probably be WP:DUE a brief mention if you can find a decent source actually talking about. Looking back at what you added, just needs to be not overlinked (that is, you wiki linked words like clock, which we don't normally do here) and simpler description. Skynxnex (talk) 10:59, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Good evening from Europe Skynxnex! Well, I think YAHOO FINANCE is a serious document, so here is just one article of many: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/fort-worth-press-reports-legal-194700775.html
 * Yes, and it may be right, maybe you don't link everything, but it can't be a shame either and you're not right about one thing, it's not just an ‘old newspaper’ that has been revived, it's also the trademark rights ‘The Fort Worth Press’ - YOU can see them here = https://euipo.europa.eu/eSearch/#details/trademarks/018929834 -- so it's still a pity that the addition to the article and the WO is ONLY ABOUT KNOWLEDGE, was simply deleted! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:8106:23:d00:6858:23a8:8b23:5b37 (talk • contribs) 16:37, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hey, I suggest reading Signatures and perhaps signing up for an account.
 * For Fort Worth, feel free to suggest language on Talk:Fort Worth, Texas and other editors can help (or maybe the WP:Teahouse). I'm not an expert on there and I'm not stopping you from re-adding something improved. I'll say that Yahoo! link you just shared looks like basically a press release/ad for the website so isn't really a reliable source (Yahoo has those in some of their sections). Skynxnex (talk) 17:27, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * But will ask since it seems like you've added similar content about Heit and newspaper brands he's acquired in quite a few articles. I'd suggest reading WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide to make sure you're complying with the rules here. Skynxnex (talk) 17:31, 11 May 2024 (UTC)

Fixed?
Hey there, I got your email. Would you check to see if that solved the problem you asked about? Joyous! Noise! 14:21, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

 * @Joyous! Yes, I think it probably does well enough. The rest will fade into the mist. Thanks. Skynxnex (talk) 14:24, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

I got your message; I'm not presently in a position to carry that out, could you email WP:OVERSIGHT? 331dot (talk) 14:51, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Looks like you're all set? 331dot (talk) 14:51, 12 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @331dot I've emailed oversight. There ended up being multiple ones. Thanks for the assistance. Skynxnex (talk) 14:57, 12 May 2024 (UTC)

Hannah Ryder page reviewed
I received a wikipedia message that Hannah Ryder page has been reviewed. I got a message that it's moved to draftspaces from another usertalk. Gold Junior (talk) 08:38, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @Gold Junior, the reason I marked the page as review is purely a technical one: since it was nominated at WP:Articles for deletion, the community will decide if the page should be kept or not so I "reviewed" it so other WP:New page patrolers won't have to consider it. It looks like, yes, there was an earlier version of the article you created that was WP:Draftified and then deleted. I see you're taking part in the AFD discussion, which is good. I'd suggest that if you can find it, presenting the three "best" sources (so the ones most clearly independent of the subject, reliable, and in-depth) in the AFD. Let me know if you have any other questions. Skynxnex (talk) 12:50, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * someone has already presented multiple sources with coverage of the subject in the AFD. thanks Gold Junior (talk) 13:47, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * How do I declare I have no COI to do with this article? Gold Junior (talk) 14:32, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I'm not an expert on WP:conflict of interest matters. I'm not sure if there's anything productive to do during the duration of the AFD nomination, so discussion probably should primarily be there or on your talk page? I don't quite understand the timeline with the article now at AFD and the draftication/deletion of an article with the same title. Skynxnex (talk) 15:00, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * there was no consensus on the AFDDiscussion group on the Hannah Ryder article . it was relisted for clearer consensus and through discussion. what happens during and after this relist? thanks Gold Junior (talk) 07:20, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gold Junior Relisted AFDs are generally kept open for new discussion for 7 days (although can be closed by an experienced, uninvolved editor at any time of consensus is clear). AFDs are normally relisted up to three times. I'll note that it's expected that editors who !voted before the relist do not do so again after the relist. So I'd suggest WP:STRIKEing the literal "keep" in your most recent comment. It's fine to add additional comments as long as it doesn't reach what reasonable editors might see as WP:BLUDGEONing the AFD. Skynxnex (talk) 13:30, 21 May 2024 (UTC)
 * done the Strikethrough as you suggested. I'm waiting to see how it goes because Relisted Gold Junior (talk) 02:10, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * what happens if there is no participation in this relist as we await consensus??
 * have you read the edited article since the nomination? Obviously, the article is not deletable in its current form from the Wikipedia policy! Gold Junior (talk) 11:40, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * @Gold Junior It may be relisted again. But whenever an experienced closer (probably an WP:administrator at this point) decides they can read the consensus based on policy, they can close it (so decide if it should be kept, deleted, or no consensus, which means it's easier for another deletion discussion to occur in the future). I honestly have not looked at the article much; my impression is that it's bordering on the edge of notability.
 * And I'm not going to opine on COI or not, but the level of sustained attention you've given this article is normally a red flag. Article writing at Wikipedia can be hard and so it's normally best to get a bit more experience before you write one. I may or may not add anything to the AFD since I don't have a good grasp of what sources in this space are considered reliable. Skynxnex (talk) 13:14, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * the most attention should go to the merit of keeping or deleting, and the best place to look at is the edited article since nomination, the notability of this article since AFD . I just read about the unintended consequences of activating the relist process which neither keeps nor deletes a AFD article Gold Junior (talk) 14:54, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
 * an editor relisted the Articles for deletion/Hannah Ryder article. please read through the article and pass comments if you can. read sources too. Gold Junior (talk) 05:54, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

Very odd Westinghouse Electric Corporation move
Re User talk:Merv Mat, this user also moved Westinghouse Electric Corporation to CBS Corporation (1886-2000) without discussion or rational. It needs a revert. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 20:04, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

 * @Fountains of Bryn Mawr I don't disagree. I don't have that much knowledge of the exact history of CBS in that era but I think moving back (to revert) the page moves would be fine and if you don't feel comfortable doing that, there's a spot in the technical move request page to request such moves: Requested moves/Technical requests, as I'm not sure I'll choose to spend my time figuring out this particular thing. Skynxnex (talk) 20:10, 13 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks, filled out. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 21:08, 13 May 2024 (UTC)

Articles nominated for deletion
Hi mate, I noticed you put out three nominations for deletions on my articles on Sin Tae-song, Yu Kwang-jun, and Choe Ok-chol. Why?

I understand Choe Ok-chol's due to there not being much information on his page but so is the case for many North Korean footballers. Sin Tae-song and Yu Kwang-jun had enough sources in correspondence to the DPRK's secrecy and I did my best to dig up as much info I can find. Why were those two nominated for deletion? C18ver (talk) 05:16, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

 * Hi @C18ver, I only marked the pages as "reviewed" as a technical action so they would be removed from the WP:New pages patrol feed since they've been nominated at AFD so the community will review them now (see WP:NPPDEL to be specific).
 * I believe that nominated those articles for deletion. I'd suggest perhaps reading How to save an article nominated for deletion and then engaging on the AFDs. Skynxnex (talk) 05:26, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Cheers mate, thanks for the clarification. Have a good day. C18ver (talk) 05:32, 21 June 2024 (UTC)

Thank you
Just noticed you added my nomination of an AfD to a bunch of sorting lists - I don't really know how to edit Wikipedia that well and wouldn't have known how to do that, so that was a big help, thanks. JustAPoliticsNerd (talk) 04:01, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

@Skynxnex Are you an administrator on Wikipedia by any chance? Bzik2324 (talk) 23:39, 26 June 2024 (UTC)

Spam in Honest Tea
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Honest Tea, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Honest Tea, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to  in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.

For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:48, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Hello Torsten !

Does PP3 works on Mac OS ?

Hello there, welcome to the 'pedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. If you need pointers on how we title pages visit Naming conventions or how to format them visit our manual of style. If you have any other questions about the project then check out Help or add a question to the Village pump. Cheers! --maveric149

I'm a h2g2 veteran and I'm afraid that that will remain my primary site. (By the way, today h2g2 has published a new entry about Wikipedia on its home page!)

I want to contribute to Wikipedia nevertheless: I want to draw the maps for the celestial constellations. However, in contrast to h2g2, Wikipedia contains a lot more information, and it seems to be more accurate, too. So as a reader, I look forward to using Wikipedia.

I've already looked around a bit and think that I've understood the system by and large. But thank you for your welcome message!

 * You are welcome! I like the images you have created. But the placement in the articles is causing trouble for people with lower resolution screens. Specifically the image and the table overlap. Would 250 or 300 pixel wide images be too small? If not then the images could even be placed in the tables (see sainfoin, lithium, United States and Pluto (planet) for examples). --mav

Actually I was playing around with Sagittarius with the current image and it really doesn't seem to be that bad at lower res. --mav

Well it wasn't the greatest image downsizing I've done but I reduced the width of the Sagittarius image to 300 px. See the Image use policy for why it is a good idea not to have images too wide. --mav

 * Although I was aware of this problem before I began with the charts, it is indeed a serious one. I had read Wikipedia's image policy very carefully and I thought that 400px are an upper limit but okay.  By and large the problem is either Wikipedia's HTML or the browser, because the two elements mustn't overlap, but a horizontal scrollbar should be used. -- Torsten Bronger 16:23 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)

 * Horizontal scroll bars are evil and should be avoided like the plague. Many studies have shown that web surfers hate to horizontally scroll and textbooks on web design state that you should hardly ever force a user to use their horizontal scroll bar. So that is not a solution. Resizing the images to a width of 300px and putting them in the table will make everything work for everybody. --mav 00:30 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)

 * A horizontal scollbar is surely not optimal. But I would be forced to reduce information density if I scaled them down.  At least for some of them, you cannot just make them smaller.  By the way, I was not responsible for the positioning of the graphics next to the table.  I think it would be better to accept a less nice layout instead of less detail. -- Torsten Bronger 10:15 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)

 * I agree with Bronger. Unlike the images of the flowers or animals, a map needs details. So I think resizing the maps is not the best option. A simple solution is to reposition the maps.
 * My opinion is based on the scaled down version of Sagittarius by mav, which doesn't look too good because the map is resized "physically". How about you upload a new generated and scaled down map of Sagittarius and see if it would be better, Bronger? --Lorenzarius 11:31 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)

 * [Please call me Torsten :] I can produce a map that is smaller but with labels of the same size. But this would mean that I have to delete some nebulae, and it is already *very tight* with the grey constellation labels.  This is not critical on all but some of the maps.  I will make new maps smaller whenever possible.  Most upcoming constellations are small anyway.

-- Hi Bronger, have you one of these very nice constellation map for Crux? -- looxix 21:09 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)

 * If a new constellation is finished according to the project template, please add it to the list at WikiProject Constellations because we all watch this page. Then I upload a map as soon as I can. --Torsten Bronger
 * Thanks, looxix 19:58 Apr 8, 2003 (UTC)

Nice Maps!

The colours you've chosen are obvious and clear. I especially like the grey constellation names and the yellow border, which are sorta transparent and hence doesn't interfere with the stars. And on a white background? I must say I was amazed at first, and it fits with the white WP background so well. Do you enter all the star coordination manually? How long does it take to make one map? Or do you make several simultaneously? (Because I see other constellations cut-off.) --Menchi 18:55 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

 * Thank you for the encouragement! All sky coordinates come from free Internet databases.  One map takes 10--30 minutes.  They are not created simultaneously, however the program lets me use a global style that I thus don't have to re-create every single time (colours etc).  What does 'cut-off' mean? -- Torsten Bronger 20:28 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

 * "Cut-off" means that part of a picture is missing, like a knife cut it off. I'm referring that one one constellation map, there are several neighbour constellations shown only partly, like all regional maps. --Menchi 20:40 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

 * I think I now understand: You suggested that I had created one huge bitmap and cut it into pieces? I didn't do this for several reasons:
 * Labels may be destroyed.
 * Every map projection leads to distortions that can be reduced only by keeping the map area small.
 * I want the north--south direction be vertical always.
 * The constellation names would have to be copied to several positions.
 * I want to have the possibility to use individual scales for the constellations.
 * Some faint constellations need enlarged star circles or other special treatment.
 * Additionally, one map per constellation is approximately the same work. -- Torsten Bronger 21:19 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

 * One big map would be interesting to look at, but that wasn't my suggestion. I mentioned "cut-off" because I thought you created all the constellations simultaneously, hence leaving the neighbour constellations cut-off. But now you mentioned the big map, it does sound like a good idea, since astronomy guidebooks and textbooks have them, usually in a circle. But since you can't make them now, it's alright. --Menchi 21:28 May 8, 2003 (UTC)

 * But what is the alternative to cut-off neighbour constellations?

 * For a constellation-specific map, I don't it is impossible! I'm not asking you to prevent cutting off. Maybe this idiom is badly coined, but it mostly doesn't have negative connotation. --Menchi 03:30 May 9, 2003 (UTC)

 * The alternative would be to have a map of, say, Virgo that *only* showed the stars actually in Virgo. But I like what you're doing now. Given a rectangular map, I like to see *all* the stars in that rectangular area -- even the ones that are technically part of some other constellation.

 * Thank you for the maps. Thank you for making PP3 http://pp3.sourceforge.net/ open-source. --DavidCary 01:55, 23 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Copyright
On your picture of the Lepus (constellation) you state a copyright claim. You fail to say that it it GFDL and as such I do not know if I can use it for nl:wikipedia. Thanks, GerardM 06:23, 3 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * I must say that I am a little bit irritated by all the trouble that this innocent (and explicitly allowed by Wikipedia) "copyright Torsten Bronger" causes, since you are not the first who asks. Copyright and licence are two very different things, the first being more or less insignificant, depending on the latter.

 * To answer your question: Obviously I am the copyright holder and I uploaded the image. If you want to upload, you have to mark the GFDL checkbox.  So the legal status of all my star maps is the GFDL.  Please understand that I won't go through all 88 maps again to make it explicit.

 * By the way you are invited to substitute Dutch counterparts for all Latin and English names on the maps in the (equally free) souce file of the map in order to create a real Dutch counterpart. – Torsten Bronger 07:47, 4 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * Well, on the upload page is written: Specify the licence of the file. Add if the file is licenced under the GNU FDL,  if it is in the public domain, etc. See Image copyright tags for more of these. This information should really be placed on the Image-Page otherwise it's not clear to the reader if the uploader has really read the text on the upload page ... and with that it's also not clear if the uploader understood the problem with the licences ... And yes, of course it ok to explicitly state your copyright of the pictures - that's a thing I understand ... :-) -- Schusch 16:38, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * But this is very new. When I uploaded my images, I had to check explicitly the "GFDL" checkbox, so this licence applies to all images uploaded before a certain date unless specified otherwise.  Wikipedia should add this note automatically for older images, I really have not the time to do it. – Torsten Bronger 18:02, 30 Apr 2004 (UTC)

 * ah, ok, I only know this from the german site - and there I'm used to it for months ... what I do next if I don't see the licence information ... I take a look on the user-page perhaps you post a short message there? Something like: all my images posted here are GFDL or something like this? Greetings, -- Schusch 10:50, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

 * I think it is sensible to consider the GFDL the default licence on Wikipedia.

 * I've made bad experiences with image licence questions on German Wikipedia. Since then I know that all Wikipedias have not really understood the implications of their licences.  They even admit this.  We can add licences as we wish, but in court we woudn't get a leg to stand on.  The whole system bases on trust and hope rather than written licence statements I'm afraid.  – Torsten Bronger 10:15, 2 May 2004 (UTC)

Germans
I've for long (a year, actually) been itched by the way Wikipedia-links are done with often sloppy distinctions between nationality, citizenship and ethnicity (with regard to persons) and also between nations and countries. This is particularly obvious in the case of people or entities that are denoted as German. A link to the Federal Republic of Germany is often outright unhistorical and wrong, but this has until now been the most usual.

Therefore I'm considering an article on Germans, which I've started at User:Ruhrjung/Germans. I would wish to avoid lots of edit wars. In particular, I would not wish to see the current disputes over German-Polish matters automatically extend also to this article, why I kindly ask you for comments now, in advance, in order to try to find wordings acceptable to as many as possible of concerned wikipedians.

I look forward to your comments at User talk:Ruhrjung/Germans. --Ruhrjung 23:34, 14 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Constellations
Hi, Nachbar (in globalen Dimensionen - ich sitze an der Uni Köln:-)

Also, wenn ich mir automatisch verkleinertes Bild und die von Dir generierte Version nebeneinander angucke:

Die Farben sind beim automatisch generierten Bild etwas blasser, und die Schrift ist ein wenig ausgefranst (was die blaue Schrift IMHO aber lesbarer macht als im "_small"-Bild). Dafür ist die Bedienung für den Benutzer einheitlicher, Bild und Thumbnail müssen nicht synchron gehalten werden (falls sich am "großen" Bild mal was ändert), und -vor allem- der "larger version"-Link ist weg, der mich aus unerfindlichen Gründen wahnsinnig stört (überall in der wikipedia).

Im Fall der "constellations" stimme ich Dir zu, dass das Thumbnail-Layout ein wenig stört, aber da es sowieso keine "echte" Bildunterschrift gibt, könnte man das ja so lösen wie in obrigem Beispiel.

Ach ja, hast Du mal probiert, ob die automatischen thumbnails besser werden, wenn die "Vorlage" um Einiges größer ist? --Magnus Manske 11:06, Jun 24, 2004 (UTC)

 * Hallöchen! Zunächst einmal muß ein ein Feature ja nicht nutzen bloß weil es da ist – es muß immer gut begründet sein.  Wir (d.h. das Constellation-Projekt) sehen hier zwei Probleme: Zum einen diesen Verwasch-Effekt, der ursprünglich auch bei den manuellen Thumbnails aufgetreten ist und mit einem Extra-Scharfzeichner herausgefiltert wurde; und zum anderen die zusätzliche Breite, die durch das automatische Thumbnail schlicht verschwendet wird.  Es war ohnehin schon eine Feilscherei, die Thumbnails auf die Größe zu bekommen.  Jetzt gibt es Seiten, die in meinem Browser mit Überlappungen dargestellt werden, weil die Breite nicht reicht.

 * Ein Thumbnail ohne Rähmchen ist unakzeptabel, weil dann der Leser nicht weiß, daß es auch eine größere Fassung gibt. Andere Bereiche der Wikipedia sehen das offenbar anders (sonst gäbe es diese Syntax ja nicht), aber i.a. wird (in meinen Augen zurecht) davon auch kein Gebrauch gemacht.

 * Was die Lesbarkeit angeht, wird sie durch das Scharfzeichnen definitiv erhöht. Es mag nicht so butterweich aussehen, aber ich beginne mit wachsendem Abstand eher Probleme mit dem automatischen Bild zu bekommen.

 * Eine Vergrößerung der Vorlage würde nichts bringen, weil der Verkleinerungs-Algorithmus sehr schnell auf immer dasselbe Thumbnail konvergiert.

 * In Tabellen ist das Verwenden von Thumnails in meinen Augen einfach nur Bequemlichkeit. Es sieht schlecht aus und vergeudet Platz.  Ich finde es ausdrücklich gut, daß du dich des Tabellenlayouts angenommen hast, aber dennoch würde ich es mit demselben Nachdruck begrüßen, wenn du die alten Thumnails wieder restaurieren würdest.

 * Vielen Dank! Viele Grüße, – Torsten Bronger 15:21, 24 Jun 2004 (UTC)

constellation maps for fr.wikipedia
Hi Torsten, I have a few correction for PP3's translations-fr.sed, how do you prefer that I send it to you? Also, have you still a copy of the version of the wiki.pp3 that you used to generated the maps in french?

All constellation but 3, have now a decent article with the maps included. Thanks again. -- Looxix 19:32, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

More constellation map translations
Hello Torsten,I'm sorry if this is stated somewhere obvious that I missed, but what is the quickest way for me to translate your constellation maps into another language (Hebrew in my case)? You can respond here or on my talk page. --Eitheladar 12:29, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Oops, Hebrew is a problem because I don't know how to cope with it in TeX. I know that there is a TeX variant called XeT for right-to-left scripts, but I've never used it, and in the worst case all constallations are mirrored.  ;-)  Well, I'll give it a try in the next days. – Torsten Bronger 14:14, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)

 * Thanks! But perhaps I can try handling it myself, if you just point me to the necessary packages and operations for 'normal' languages. I have no experience in PP3, but I have had experience in converting software to Hebrew... is this possible? --Eitheladar 14:42, 21 Jul 2004 (UTC)
 * Anything new with this? I don't expect you spent time on this issue, but how about my suggestion above? Just point me in the general direction and I'll give it a try. --Eitheladar 08:45, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * You have to learn how to typeset Hebrew with LaTeX. I know that it's possible, but I don't know how.  Then I will extend PP3 (or create a special version of it) that calls the right-to-left variant of TeX.  Finally, you have to substitute Hebrew translations for all names on the maps. – Torsten Bronger 10:42, 6 Sep 2004 (UTC)

--Diberri | Talk 23:36, Aug 31, 2004 (UTC)

 * All maps that I uploaded are licenced under the terms of the GFDL, otherwise I wouldn't have uploaded them, since this is the licence on Wikipedia. Please understand that I'm not prepared to go through 200 maps for adding the GDFL note.  When I uploaded them, there was a GDFL checkbox so that an explicit note was not necessary.  Now apparently Wikipedia's rules have changed, but that's not my problem, sorry.  Maybe someone can write a bot that adds the notices. – Torsten Bronger 17:22, 1 Sep 2004 (UTC)

 * The rules haven't changed, per se, but because many users have been uploading non-GFDL-compliant images, this is the best option to help ensure the integrity of the site. I absolutely understand your point, and I share your frustration about the redundancy of adding a GFDL note to all your images. There's currently a team of folks, myself included, adding tags to untagged images. Now that I know you've explicitly released your maps under the GFDL, I'll feel free to add the GFDL tags myself (perhaps using a bot, as you suggest). Do you happen to have a list of all images you've uploaded to Wikipedia? --Diberri | Talk 17:48, Sep 1, 2004 (UTC)

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started a drive to get users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) v1.0 and v2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the GFDL, but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles. Since you are among the top 2000 Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
 * Multi-Licensing FAQ - Lots of questions answered
 * Multi-Licensing Guide
 * Free the Rambot Articles Project

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the " " template into their user page, but there are other options at Template messages/User namespace. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:

 * Option 1
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:

OR
 * Option 2
 * I agree to multi-license all my contributions to any U.S. state, county, or city article as described below:

Or if you wanted to place your work into the public domain, you could replace " " with "  ". If you only prefer using the GFDL, I would like to know that too. Please let me know what you think at my talk page. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking. -- Ram-Man (comment| talk)

Sagittarius constellation map
Hi Torsten.

I'm working on the Numbers project and have enjoyed looking over the constellation maps you've created. However, the file Image:Sagittarius constellation map.png seems to be misbehaving. I'm able to load it outside Wikipedia using Quicktime, but on a page it just comes up blank. Any ideas?

Thanks, Denni ☯ 18:32, 2004 Dec 30 (UTC)

Aquila constellation map
First of all, congratulations for your great work on mapping the constellations. I add this comment to let you know I think I have found a mistake in one of them, namely in the Aquila constellation map. Its brightest star, Altair, is written as Atair (I think).

Non-free use disputed for Image:RWTH-logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:RWTH-logo.png. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at 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 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. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image.  Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 23:53, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Centaurus map: Alpha Centauri
Hi! Thank you for your hard work uploading pp3 star maps for each Constellation.

In the case of Centaurus, you've used an obscure name (as far as my assessment goes) for Alpha Centauri. It is usually referred to as Rigil Kentaurus, or perhaps, Rigil Kent.

Would you be able to generate the map again with one of those names? Many thanks.

a question
dear Torsten Bronger,

I would very much like to add your map of the constellation hydra,that i found at wikimedia commons, to the cover of my forthcoming book - is that ok to you? I would of course refer to you in the way you prefer.

if you agree at all: the publisher needs 300dpi, if possible could you send me such a format?

that would be great! thank you / Karen Vintges — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.39.22.136 (talk) 14:57, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

"Ears" missing in your File:Lepus constellation map.png
In File:Lepus constellation map.png and the file derived from it used in R Leporis (File:R Leporis.png), I noticed that the diagram doesn't have the two lines, slightly tilted from vertical, going from one point in the top right corner to two stars; these lines, representing the ears of the Hare, were present in the images in the Lepus article (File:Lepus IAU.svg and File:LepusCC.jpg). Is there a reason for this lack in your image? Should it be fixed?

There were also two vertical lines that were present in the other images but not in yours, but since your diagram (the sideways H) links all these stars just as well as the more box-like diagrams that have more lines, I don't think that's a major problem.

Due to my real-life limitations, I probably won't be able to follow up on this, so if there is a reason why the "ear" lines shouldn't be drawn, would you please make a note of it in at least your image? Doing so in the other images would also be helpful. However, if you discover the "ear" lines should be there, please consider either uploading a new version of the image or to make a note in the images' body text explaining that this should be done.

I do prefer the clarity of your image. ☺ Thanks for all your hard work over so much time! —Geekdiva (talk) 12:09, 7 April 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:RWTH-logo.png
Thank you for uploading File:RWTH-logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The Greek letter theta in constellation maps
First of all thank you very much for all the constellation maps - they are great.

Only one thing annoys me. The use of the small greek letter theta in the cursive form ϑ (U+03D1 GREEK THETA SYMBOL) instead of the normal form θ (U+03B8 GREEK SMALL LETTER THETA). On Bayer's own maps of the constellations he used θ to name the stars after his own Bayer designation to name stars.

In Wikipedia articles mention stars using the Bayer designation use θ for theta and not ϑ. So it is confusing when the constellation maps shows another letter for the "theta" stars. Agerskov (talk) 23:21, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard.

Furry article
Nightwatch,

Hi. I noticed your recent edit to the Furry article. Several of the groups mentioned in the paragraph you removed aren't technically furries, but they're often grouped with furries in popular perception, and I think that an (accurate) mention in the article wouldn't be out of place. You're certainly welcome to remove material you think the article's better off without. It'd be helpful when you make deletions to an article to leave a copy of the material on the talk page, though, along with a short note about why it was deleted.

Have fun,

The secret is so well-hidden (not to mention illogical) that most guides overlook it! I might edit the RTZ article more soon: I was surprised to see that there was so little information there on a surprisingly good, if practically unplayable with a hint book, game.

Wyoming Incident
I deleted the "Wyoming Incident" section on the Broadcast signal intrusion page, mostly on account of the fact that all of the Internet-available information seems to be originating from one not-very-reputable source (i.e. the Google Video page), not to mention that there are a lot of "facts" about the video that don't add up. But the whole story is interesting; if you have some additional sources, I'd like to hear about them. Just don't be offended by me removing your edit. Thunderbunny 20:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Arcanine-059.png)
Thanks for uploading Image:Arcanine-059.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 00:35, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Hits brothers
A tag has been placed on Hits brothers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Furret. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Furret~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 00:04, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 13:04, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia! And, thanks for contributing the national anthem of Iran. I hope you don't mind that I changed the title to something recongnizable to our English readers. I also put the English translation of the lyrics first. --Uncle Ed 00:19 Mar 26, 2003 (UTC)

We don't include user information in the article space. If you want to keep working here, please keep your personal information where it belongs. -- Zoe

 * ...unless they're famous like Sheldon Rampton, in which case they get an article plus a user page. The difference is: anyone may edit the article, but by custom no one but the user generally edits the user page. --Uncle Ed

Good call on Breckinridge! You bested the Columbia Encyclopedia there. - Hephaestos 02:06 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
