Talk:Rhianna Pratchett

Intellectual property rights
Whilst the sixth paragraph in the Telegraph interview mentions Terry's intent to leave the rights to Rhianna, it goes on to clarify that this was done through the creation of Narrativia, of which she is a director. Therefore I would propose that the introduction of this article be amended to reflect the fact that Narrativia controls the intellectual property. Weaselandalf (talk) 10:34, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Making Terry Pratchett a Featured Article
This is a call to arms to make the Terry Pratchett article a Featured Article. It will greatly help the cause if all the side articles that link from it are of a reasonable standard. Terry Pratchett has around 40 side articles (ie the ones relating to his work) - I don't think they are all expected to be GA (Good Article) standard for TP to become featured, but certain basic elements will be looked at for sure.

A full list of the sub articles is here on the TP talk page: I'm posting this comment on the talk pages of each article on the list. Editors reading may also like to help with the TP article too?

The main issue, especially with smaller articles, is often a finding reasonable amount of citations, and prose can sometimes be a little POV too. Coverage of the topic is probably less important, but of course it needs to be reasonably good. --Matt Lewis (talk) 14:55, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Prince of Persia
She asked (see history entry 14:26, 18 July 2008) not to get credit for Prince of Persia. Since people is probably going to keep adding it otherwise, I added the credit formulation from IMDb.--Per Abrahamsen (talk) 17:28, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Image
This article uses a really unflattering picture of her - her eyes are closed and she looks like she's about to sneeze. Surely there's a better one available? Xereeto (talk) 16:10, 3 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, all pictures currently available are from GDC 2016 and look pretty much the same, see here. File:Raid on Rise - Narrative Creation on 'Rise of The Tomb Raider' - GDC 2016 (25728700401).jpg is the only one where she has her eyes open but the rest of her is kinda eclipsed and the image is blurry. If you can find any better ones, by all means add them. Regards So  Why  16:49, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

How is that image fair use if no source is given? Fair use would also be the use of a small part of the original. That image is fairly high resolution and is thus not just a small part of the original. --mav 07:47, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hey, back off, all right? If you want to write about Japanese underwear, that's your deal. Otherwise, fix it, forget it and leave me the hell out of it. Next time you have something to say, make it polite. If researching Japanese skivvies wouldn't have hurt me, a bit of civility wouldn't have hurt you. - Lucky 6.9 20:48, 31 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Hi zanimum,

Weren't you involved with the distribution of the last press release? I would love to get some feedback about that experience from you, before the upcoming 1,000,000 article press release goes out.

Hi, Zanimum. The above article, and another listing a real estate development in Ontario, are both now on VfD. They both appear to be real estate listings. If this is a misunderstanding, please let us know. Geogre 19:33, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Content guidelines
I made a minor edit to your new article on Romeo! Please consider reviewing the guidelines concerning establishing context, stating the obvious and writing articles that won't date quickly. Thanks for your contributions. Kbh3rd 18:42, 17 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * Okay, so maybe I was being ambiguous, not saying the year or country of production, in this stub. But you've just made the article into an absolute piece of misinformation. The series is not Canadian, it's by Nickelodeon. And the series debuted in 2003, not 2004. Sometimes lack of information makes an article better than one with info. -- user:zanimum

Latin
Hi Zanimum, I don't know if you'll be checking the Latin wikipedia, but I left a message there - I'll repeat it here. I was wondering about your Sesame Street article there...did you machine-translate that, or something? It's definitely not Latin. I don't think it's particularly helpful to add articles like that, since they are pretty much impossible to fix. Adam Bishop 03:33, 19 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Sesame Park
Hi. I'll have to go back and check what I wrote, but I'm certain I saw an installment of Sesame Park on CBC about 6 months ago. True, it is no longer listed (I just checked the latest TV Guide) so maybe the cancellation was as of 2004? I know I've seen Sesame Park several times on CBC since 2002. Perhaps it was a local broadcast, but I don't think CBC stations do that sort of thing. Cheers! 23skidoo 23:00, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Road Runner anon
Hi. I just got a note from you regarding vandalism on User talk:67.52.108.20 which I use here at work sometimes to edit anonymously, time allowing. That causes me some great concern and I assure you it wasn't me. Do you recall what the problem was? If someone else is messing around on this site via this proxy, rest assured I'll sign in every time from here. Thanks. - Lucky 6.9 16:40, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)
 * 1) Hi Lucky, Looking through my "contributions" list, at that point, there was a whole big debacule going on at the Gay Nigger Association of America page. However, as I didn't put my default "Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, merely reporting on the world" statement on the page, it wouldn't be that. I think it was just some nonsense new page, and the level of the warning was simply because of the IPs history. I do believe you, that it wasn't you. Really, until someone on the same range does something else vandalous, there's no real reason to stop editing unsigned in.  --  user:zanimum

Psychiatric categories
I am currently going through with a major reoganisation of psychiatric categories along the lines of WikiProject Psychopathology/Review. Some do not have articles on the name but they do have subcategories and articles in them etc. Unfortunately I created the Organic disorder category and then discovered there was already a Memory disorder category which will do for that group. Please delete it. I am also creating orphans by creating new categories and moving the articles to that from the old categories. I don't know a better way of doing that. --CloudSurfer 18:30, 7 Oct 2004 (UTC)

I personally agree with several of Jeronimo's objections. If there is a seperate article on something, at least list the bare facts, just linking isn't enough.

Beautiful Quote
So you know, that's a fantastic quote in the recent Guardian article. It's "like a sausage: you might like the taste of it, but you don't necessarily want to see how it's made". Curious... did the quote make it's debut for the article, or did it arise from a discussion? -- user:zanimum

I read your message on the Spanish Wikipedia asking for photos of South America. I live in Argentina, but sadly I don't own a camera yet and probably won't anytime before the first issue of Wikijunior gets ready. I do, however, have a few very nice photos of Bolivia and north of Argentina taken by a friend of mine in a recent trip. A few of them are already uploaded to Wikipedia and you can see them here. The ones of the statue of Che Guevara might be a little too political for the project, but I'm sure you'll like the ones from the Cerro de Siete Colores and perhaps there could be an use for those of the kid. I can upload more pictures if you find them worthy. Please reply. Pilaf 03:19, 7 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Duke Of Wellington's Regiment
I've been uploading some images to the page and noted that the image of the cap badge has somehow been put in an info box with details from further down the page, which is a good effect. How do you create these boxes and how do I edit the one that is there already there, as the first line 'Official name' needs to be moved down below the image as it keeps poping up on the right hand side of it.

Salve, Zanimum! There's a vandal at work on Richard Nixon, to wit, User:207.74.115.22.

 * Not really a bunch, but enough I guess. They're at User:Pilaf/Pictures. Haven't got too many responses on the other Village Pumps, likely due to machine translated messages. Then again, there is a fair amount of French speaker that have listed themselves as being interested, so presume that's how they found out. And oy! That user page is confusing at first glance! --  user:zanimum

Main page vandal block
It would probably be better if you shortened that IP block to something more in terms of weeks, since we have no way of knowing how many people use it to access Wikipedia or when it will change hands.

In keeping with the policy of NPOV, it is important to note on the Apollo page that what is written there is not uncontested fact (and not burried somewhere deep in the article either). I think it is fair to have a warning on the top of the page. Trollminator 18:56, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Cosplay pictures
Please, please stop putting cosplay pictures into articles where they are not appropriate. I remember the lengthy discussions relating to the leotard article; now you have added a similar image to the maid article. Can you tell me why you consider these images to be appropriate illustrations for these articles? -- The Anome 12:38, Nov 28, 2004 (UTC)
 * Why aren't these appropriate? For starters, there are no other images of maids available for us to use, so far as I know. Would you not agree that something is better than nothing? Also, when we have many other opportunities to get images of villains and mad scientists, through the marvel of screen captures, we end up with two cartoons. Not only that, but these cartoons are deemed "featured" by the Wikipedia community. -- user:zanimum

My impression of you was limited to a vague "been around a long time, and reasonably active". You've changed that in one fell swoop.
 * Adding to a WP article an ext lk p't-ing to your own column on a pop-under-ing site is not a minor edit
 * Failing to remove that lk when you knew it had stopped being a "regular" column is irresponsible, and also serves to further impeach your good intentions.
 * If you're really only in your first term of "Advertising and Graphic Design", your fate is not sealed, but it is already time to be thinking about whether you want to be an art director, and of the kind that your colleagues
 * feed with raw meat,
 * keep the client from meeting, and
 * justify with "his stuff always looks great; never mind whether it means anything."

 * Nearly all childless, single, teenage kid-TV enthusiasts are incompetent to write under the heading "Family Entertainment"; the incompetent ones include all those who don't realize that the competent ones need to specifically address that credibility problem.

 * Go to Google. Type "children's television" in. And if you think that's solely from the extra links Wikipedia provides, it's been this way since a month or two before that edit. I get absolutely no profit from this column, I solely volunteer.
 * When I signed up with Suite, the pop-unders weren't there. Frankly, there were very few ads at all.
 * As for the lack of new content, give me a break. Ignoring my school work, I've been too busy contributing to Wikipedia, and retrofitting my newly adopted Academy Awards column.
 * Also, it seems to me that you're giving me the blame for being public about my other activities. Before a few weeks ago, I would have been "safe" from you, as my personal info was limited.
 * What is your problem anyway about the whole "oohhh... you're going to fail!" stuff? Other than a run on sentence, I can't see anything wrong with the syntax of my bio. Even if there was, you are among five people to see the page since the start of the month. Frankly, those others are likely web crawlers. People don't really care about who's giving them the information.
 * The point is, my articles on Wikipedia and Suite101 are factually accurate, and decisively opinionated. I'm not a media fluff-ball like most other family ent outlets. Dr Toy will give anything the stamp of approval, so her name can be touted in press releases and on the video jacket. I give an honest, unbiased opinion that's rare in the preschool DVD field. This has counted for a lot, and quotes from my article have often been used on the manufacturer's websites. --  user:zanimum

Article Licensing
Hi, I've started the Free the Rambot Articles Project which has the goals of getting users to multi-license all of their contributions that they've made to... using the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike (CC-by-sa) version 1.0 and 2.0 Licenses or into the public domain if they prefer. The CC-by-sa license is a true free documentation license that is similar to the GFDL (which every contribution made to Wikipedia is licensed under), but it allows other projects, such as WikiTravel, to use our articles (See the Multi-licensing Guide for more information). Since you are among the top 1000 most active Wikipedians, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at minimum those on the geographic articles.
 * 1) ...all U.S. state, county, and city articles...
 * 2) ...all articles...

 * Nutshell: Wikipedia articles can be shared with any other GFDL project but open/free projects using the incompatible Creative Commons Licenses (e.g. WikiTravel) can't use our stuff and we can't use theirs. It is important to us that other free projects can use our stuff.  So we use their licenses too.

To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the   template (or    for public domain) into their user page, but there are other templates for 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 at my talk page what you think. -- Ram-Man 21:27, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure how you would like things dumbed down. What was the confusing part?  I'm not sure how else to explain this. -- Ram-Man 21:54, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)

 * I understood it, but up until you posted this message, I, and most other Wikipedians didn't know that you could dual license articles, and suddenly we have to respond to how we would like them licensed. Possibly a gentler introduction would have been better. I dunno. -- user:zanimum

A Request
Over at Culture of the United Kingdom one of the main things that is stopping us from putting it forward as a featured article candidate is the fact that the art section is so small (one small paragraph). You have listed yourself on List of Wikipedians by fields of interest as someone with an interest in art. Would you be able to pop over there at some point and help us to expand the section please? Many thanks. -- Graham ☺ | Talk 11:53, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Your "tarantula"
The picture you put on the tarantula article is a very attractive picture, but it is not a picture of a tarantula. It's a picture of a jumping spiders -- creatures that I've been in love with for the last 50 years. Somebody else had already removed it before I saw it. Where did you get the picture? We may be able to use it on the "Jumping Spider" article somehow, especially if I can figure out the species. (Too bad the view of the upper surface of the abdomen is not clearer, but you've got a beautiful shot of the head. Jumping spiders are the only ones I know of that seem to be aware that somebody is looking at them, and they like to look back. They seem to be as curious about us as we are about them.

Kiki
If you remember back a little bit, you were kind enough to test the idea of Kiki with nine kids. You said they were interested in her, as long as she were intelligent. Since then, Kiki has developed into a character that appears on ever few pages in the books, and occasionally interviews real-life scientists, politicians, artists, dancers, zookeepers, what ever relates to the book. These people will be shown in cartoon form, in their work environments. For example, I'm hoping to have "Kiki" interview a NASA scientist or astronaut, or some sort of astronomer, for the debut Solar System issue. Would you be able to run this new role for Kiki past the kids you talked to before, and see if this interests them? The character is in trouble of being eliminated by criticism from other users. -- user:zanimum
 * Point me at the discussion please? Pedant 18:52, 2004 Dec 6 (UTC)

AMA
What do you know about the AMA? Is it caput, or is it still actually functioning? -- user:zanimum
 * Zani, good question about the AMA -- based on the activity at their requests for assistance page (I forget the name exactly, but it's linked to from WP:AMA) I think it's crawling along at a snail's pace. It would appear that someone called Keith Tyler (I don't know him) is handling most of what few requests arrive.  I imagine that it, like the harmonious editing club and dozens of other voluntary associations here, didn't have sufficient gravity to keep itself together.  Perhaps it will revive one day.  I think it was little used, though, for the basic reason that most people who need help with dispute resolution have already decided who they will trust to give them answers, and so they don't go looking for an "organization" to provide help.  The few I ever saw go to the AMA mistakenly seemed to believe that they were acquiring a mediator (and one who would be favorable to them) -- most of them seemed to abandon AMA assistance once they discovered the "actual" dispute resolution procedure.  Sorry for the long answer.  Did you ask for any particular reason, by the way, or just curiosity? :-) Jwrosenzweig 21:25, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
 * Thanks JW, I was curious because you and I had run the inaugural (and possibly only ever) election for the AMAs. Do you think there should still be an election, being six months after the initial one? --  user:zanimum

Wikisource logo
Heya. I saw your logo for wikisource, very impresive.

It seems like the only real problem with it is the square edges required for the sea. I was wondering, have you considered playing around with a circular background for the sea? Depending on aspect ratios etc, I thought that might look okay. Another idea is to try to draw the sourceberg with an overhead view and use a circular ocean. There's a bit of liberty for creative freedom in that idea as well. CXI 14:55, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Deleting images (Cox's Bazar)
Please do not delete my thumbnails without asking, they are often special sharpened thumbnails, or palletted PNG's. ed g2s  •  talk  20:25, 17 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * Please don't bother picking your bones with me. I was only deleting images that others had listed for speedy deletion. It was in a list of thumbnails that a user had listed, all of which were useless, except for your apparently. If you can refer me to the name of the image that I deleted, I'd be more than happy to look in the logs to see who listed it for deletion. --  user:zanimum

 * If images are listed for deletion (and especially speedy deletion), it is your responsibility to check them out as an admin if you take it upon yourself to delete then as the process is irreversible. But now worries in this case, no harm done. ed g2s  •  talk  02:42, 20 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Vfd: Simple questions that require simple answers
I am asking simple questions, and I dont get an answer from you. What is the voters population? In order for a Vfd poll to be a valid one, what is the minimum number of voters (as population percentage) that has to cast a vote on it? What is your decision method when you extract the decision from the poll? 2/3 majority? simple majority? other? Finnaly as long as you take a decision, how long this decision is valid and cannot be reversed? I am expecting simple answers from you, in order to stop proposing my own answers to those questions .Vfd policy is a total mess! How I calculate my results? I dont know yet. I have read majority rule, average rule, quadratic rule e.t.c. and I am trying to find out. Iasson 09:50, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * Look. We're just like any other democracy here. You hold a vote, basically just an election. If only 0.0001% of the population turns up, so be it. They vote, they decide who's the victor. We can't force anyone to vote. I think I heard there's almost 100,000 registered users on Wikipedia, but there's really only 1,000 or so users that have edited in the last month. VfD should be a simple procedure, based on a normal majority. xx users said delete, yy users said keep. If xx is greater than yy, delete the article, if yy is greater, delete. --  user:zanimum

Hi, the referenced image has you listed as the uploader, and it's tagged fair use. NBC's license on that image is:
 * Copyright ? 2004 NBC, Inc. All rights reserved. Permission is hereby granted for use of the photo herein depicting the NBC program solely for editorial purposes in newspapers and periodicals to promote the NBC program only and for no other purpose.

...so, using it here is a little on the iffy side. If you have a good fair use justification handy, could you add one? If not, we do have a substitute fair use image for Ashlee Simpson so it's not the end of the world. Thanks. iMeowbot~Mw 18:08, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Warning vandals
When reverting a page or template, especially "inthenews", make sure that you put a (without the astericks) on it. If it's something that affects the main page, I personally go straight for or higher. -- user:zanimum
 * There wasn't much point, since I'd blocked the IP immediately after reverting. I think the rather prominent notice saying "IF YOU VANDALISE THIS TEMPLATE, YOU WILL BE ***BLOCKED*** IMMEDIATELY" at the top of Template:In the news is warning enough. Proteus (Talk) 17:51, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Johnny Carson image
Apologies for reverting your image changes to the Johnny Carson article without checking to see if the original image had been tagged. I uploaded it (before he died), and thought I had tagged it, but didn't. The only thing I was thinking was, "Why did this guy replace the image with one of arguably lower quality?" I didn't bother to check if I'd tagged the image. The original image is a screenshot of an image from MPTV.net as it appeared on IMDB.com. Looking at MPTV's web page, the terms for use are pretty restrictive, and there's no mention of fair use. Then again, I'm not sure where you could find a better picture of him. "Unique" images qualify as fair use, I think. Do you think it should remain in the article? Not necessarily at the top, but anywhere. --Chrysaor 21:58, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

 * I think we're fine keeping this picture. The only reason I took issue with it was that it was on the front page. Until anyone else goes out of their way to hunt down less that allowable pictures, we should try and keep it. To my knowledge, fair use covers promotional images, screen captures (thus uncontrolable by the creator), and news photos in extreme cases, as they are one-time moments of high-signifcance that simply can't be recreated. In the last circumstance, you have the slim chance of nulling commerical photography's copyrights. Since this photo was recreatable (we had 4 years to get our own picture of Johnny), I think we don't have a hope on this argument. --  user:zanimum

Stylized Sourceberg
It appears that the stylized "Sourceberg" logo at Wikisource is at least partially your design. The matter has progressed to the point where it looks like we will be having a final vote between that and the "Stack of books". Could you please indicate on your Wikisource user page that you are in part the designer of that proposed logo, and that you are willing to transfer all your rights if any under copyright and trademark law to the Wikimedia Foundation if it is finally chosen. Eclecticology 21:07, 2005 Feb 21 (UTC)
 * I note that you have not yet responded to the above request. Although the original Sourceberg design was produced before you became involved your variation is sufficiently different to possibly carry additional rights.  As long as the question of these rights remains unresolved your version cannot be accepted as the Wikisource logo.  If you do not respond within a reasonable time this will be interpreted as an indication that you do not intend to transfer those rights, and that you have withdrawn your proposals.

Alvin and the Chipmunks
Hey...do you happen to know the original release dates for the records in the discography? The ones providd (I'm asuming they're from Amazon.com are for CD rereleases of old albums (for exampl, The Chipmunks Sing the Beatles is obviously a reissue of a 1960s release). I'm going to move the discography to the talk page for right now, so that we can find the correct release dates (years are fine). Just give me a minute to finish up a couple of other edits, and I will start looking up the info--SOMEbody on the internet has to have a complete Chipmunks discography. --b. Touch 23:22, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, the dates are from Amazon. You never know, the Beatles release could actually have been new. Goodluck trying to find the content, the Chipmunk fanbase is more into fanfics and fan art than info. -- user:zanimum
 * I did find a few helpful links. I sourced info from, , and .  No need to wikilink; I doubt anyone's going to write an article for each of these albums. --b. Touch 00:24, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I guess I'm willing to work with LockeShocke on the cover design; there are quite a few things Wikimedia needs to iron once and for all, to keep designs consistant, between issues and languages.

 * Sure thing. Ideas for new navigation: icons and page-navigation along the bottom; those were thrown together for WQ-1 and are one of the most-seen parts of the quarto; we should make them really nice.  Thoughts on how to structure  entire pages, beyond (instead of) a full-page colored border; ways to make excellent section headers for each part of the Quarto, rather than using Wikitext [since we're not using auto-tocs, anyway]...

PD images?
Hi Zanium, I noticed that for some images you have cropped, (such as ), you have slapped a PD tag on them and say that you "release it into the public domain". But you just cannot DO that. You did not create the content, you just created a derivative work over which you probably have no rights. You should probably go back to each of these and put a suitable tag on them, presumably the same as for the originals, and provide also a link to the original images....

More issues with images
I think you need to slow down on uploading images and learn more about copyrights and appropriate usage, because you are doing things that are just not kosher.

For example, you took a picture of a werewolf mask and claimed the copyright owner released it under license... except the problem there is that taking a picture of a copyrighted work -- in this case, a mask -- does not give you a copyright on the image itself. You'd have copyright to the part you did that was artistic, but the original mask copyright is owned by that creator, and you can't use it without their permission.

And, for the love of god, stop putting pics of some model in cheesey costumes onto a bunch of article pages (for example, Pixie) as they are really bad. DreamGuy 20:58, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

 * The photographer of the werewolf expressed his willingness to me that it could be under any license, as long as it was credited to him as being the creator of the image. Until you have actual substitutes for "cheesy" costumes, something is better than nothing. --  user:zanimum

the image still sucks, which is why people keep deleting it. Gabrielsimon 01:56, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

Having nothing is far, far better than something totally inappropriate for the article. And these images you are uploading are pretty sad even by typical fanwank standards. Wikipedia standards are much higher than that. DreamGuy 05:45, May 21, 2005 (UTC)

that lastest one got removed becuase it was from a movie, and hence, would be copyright violation if it was used. Gabrielsimon 13:21, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

Integrated Letters Sketch on Wikisource
Amazing. I didn't think that anyone would actually get around to doing it! I should really learn how to use vector art software.

I really don't want to sound like commanding or anything because it was really, really nice of you to do the art, but you asked me what I think, and here goes:

 * The variations of shadowing on the two arrows are supposed to both be on the top. This is because there is supposed to be a "kinda-hard-to-see" W in the picture. Refer to source sketch if you don't know what I'm talking about.
 * The color schemes are... interesting. I'm not sure exactly what colors we should use, but I'm fairly sure that purple/pink is not the way to go. ;-P
 * The WikiSource title should be underneath the picture.

These points are by no means commands to make you do it, after all, you've got your own bid in the logo contest (heh, guess I should thank you even more). What program did you use to put these together? — Ambush Commander (Talk) 00:01, July 16, 2005 (UTC)

The bible
Firstly let me say that I am sorry to have to bother you.

Secondly, I wish to let you know that a recent VFD that you took part in has closed. The result was that 32 people voted to keep all individual bible verses as seperate articles, and 34 voted that they shouldn't (2 abstensions, and 3 votes for both). This is considered by standard policy not to be a consensus decision (although the closing admin stated that it was a consensus to keep them).

Thirdly, the subject has now been put to a survey, so that it may remain open until there is a clear consensus for what appears to be a difficult issue to resolve. You may wish to take part in this survey, and record a similar vote to the one you made at the VFD there. The survey is available at Bible verses.

Beck grant
Hello Zanimum,

I see you are active on the wikijunior project. I have just gotten involved with Solar system. It has reached the point where it needs
 * Fact Checking
 * Editing for grade-level, FUN, and length.

I thought that if I knew more about the purpose of the book(let) I could do a better job.

I am trying to find out
 * Who the Beck Foundation is (I can't find ANY information about it)
 * Why it wants these booklets
 * What kind of acceptance criteria they might have for the finished project.

I thought it might be good to see the original grant proposal, which I have been unable to find.

Do you know any of this stuff? Do you know anyone who does know?

Thanks! Wikibooks:User:SV Resolution

table formats for Governor of the Falkland Islands
Hi Zanimum. I see you're changing the borders of the tables in Governor of the Falkland Islands. Do you mind explaining why you also removed the column headings? I think it needs either the column headings, or a – between the two years instead of them being in two columns. --Scott Davis Talk 00:20, 30 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I've returned the headings. I had thought it was just unnecessary code, not actual display headings. --  user:zanimum
 * No problems. I didn't just revert it in case you were in the middle of some bigger change. Thanks. --Scott Davis Talk 14:53, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

Bringing Wikipedia to Toronto
I've been working on a bid to bring Wikimania 2006 to Toronto. I have contacted KMDI, an institute at the University of Toronto. They are very interested in partnering with us, and can get us a full range of U of T facilities for free. With this offer I think there is a very good chance of bringing Wikimania 2006 to Toronto. The only thing we currently lack are people willing to help out. I'm willing to do much of the work, but for the time being I am in Ottawa and having some people on the ground in Toronto will be necessary. We also need a number of people willing to assist at the actual event, likely the first weekend of August 2006. If you are interested in helping out sign up at Wikimania 2006/Toronto. Preliminary bids from various cities need to be made by Sept. 30, 2005, at which point a committee will choose which city gets to host the event. The number of people willing to help will certainly be an important consideration. - SimonP 16:21, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

re: Wikinews
Hi Zanimum - you wrote: ''Just a few bits of advice for Wikinews articles... Start fresh in telling the reader what's what-- the headline is not the first sentence of the aritcle. Also, make sure to include all details. If it weren't for the sources, I wouldn't know where Don Brash was even from. Speaking of sources, please properly cite them, so others don't have to look it up and correct it for you, it saves us all time.''
 * I have no idea what this is about. I've only twice written wikinews articles - the last was on June 21st, and was to do with the evacuation of the town of Takaka, in New Zealand's South Island (as shown here) - and neither of these stories mentioned Don Brash. Also, as a part-time journalist, I know very well that the headline is not the first sentence of an article, which is why I never use it as such, and - as far as I can tell - cite my sources well. Grutness...  wha?  00:46, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Oh? The history of the article NZ opposition leader admits to Fundamentalist links states that 202.180.83.6 is the creator of the article. On user_talk:202.180.83.6, it's you that say thanks for CGorman's welcome, message, and refer people to your Wikipedia talk page. I guess there's someone geographically near to you that contributed the aritcle. --  user:zanimum
 * There are quite a large number of users with that addres. I've had no account blocked because of one anon at that address who uses it for vandalism on Wikipedia (it's very embarrassing for an admin to be blocked!). No - with the exception of the first edit or two I made on Wikinws, all my edits there have been with the same username as I use here (in fact, it says so further down the page you pointed me at, here). My first Wikinews story was from with that anon address, (on March 28) but that was also the last date I used it. Grutness...  wha?  12:13, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Articles up for deletion
Hi Zanimum. I wanted to inform you that I've nominated some of your past articles for deletion - I feel it's the fair thing to do. Most of them were created in early 2004. Please note that I wasn't targetting you specifically, I just don't think these kinds of articles are appropriate for Wikipedia. Here's the full list:

 * Articles for deletion/The Manors of Wellington Crown, Brampton, Ontario - residential development in Brampton

Tom Waring

Thomas Waring (12 October 1906 – 20 December 1980) was an English professional association footballer. Nicknamed "Pongo" after a famous cartoon of the time called Pongo the Pup, Waring is one of Aston Villa's all-time great centre forwards. In his career, he scored 243 league goals in 363 matches over 12 seasons for 5 different clubs.

Early life
Thomas Waring was born on 12 October 1906 at 4 Chapel Place in Higher Tranmere. He was the third child (out of 4) of Henry Arthur and Charlotte Waring. The Waring family lived at 15 Walker Place, which was a ten-minute walk from Tranmere Rovers' ground.

Career
Tom played for quite a few junior teams in the Tranmere area before catching the eye of the legendary Rovers scout Jack Lee. Lee offered Waring a place in the Tranmere reserves and a casual job helping out on matchdays. Tom would sell cigarettes and chocolate to the fans in the stands as well as help in preparing the ground for matches before he was handed a professional contract. He signed for Tranmere in 1926 at the relatively late age of 20 and made his debut on August 29, 1927 away to Rotherham United. He scored 23 goals in 24 games, including 6 goals in an 11–1 victory against Durham City in January 1928 which brought him to the attention of First Division clubs. He moved to Aston Villa for £4,700 in 1928.

Aston Villa
A crowd of 23,000 saw him play on his Villa debut in a reserve game against local rivals Birmingham City, in which he scored a first half hat-trick.

His 226 appearances for Villa yielded 167 goals, including 10 hat-tricks and a club record 49 league goals in the 1930–31 season, 50 goals in all competitions. He is considered an Aston Villa legend, a reputation buoyed by his likeable personality as discussed by Villa's captain of the day, Billy Walker. In Walker's autobiography, he wrote:

"There were no rules for Pongo. Nobody knew what time he would turn up for training—ten o'clock, eleven o'clock, twelve o'clock, it made no odds. Nobody on the staff could do anything with him although I think I can claim, as the captain in his days, to be the only person able to handle him. He was a funny lad indeed. We started the weeks training on Tuesday mornings and every Tuesday he followed a habit which he could never break. He would go round all the refreshment bars on the ground and finish off the lemonade customers, storing the remains in the bottles! Then he would start a little of his training—but that seldom lasted very long."

The Birmingham Daily Gazette described Pongo in his heyday at Villa: "Over 6ft tall and tough as teak, his goal dashes were electrifying and if he could not get adequate service from his wings he went out and got the ball himself. He would streak his way through opposing defences, and then turn around grinning all over his face!"

During the time of Eric Cantona's altercation with a fan, an Olton pensioner stated that Waring - "Picked the ball up then he jumped into the crowd and gave him a thump"

Whilst playing football, Waring also worked for The Hercules Motor and Cycle Company in Aston.

Later clubs
In November 1935, Waring went to Barnsley, angering many Villa fans and prompting 5,000 of them to call for his return to the club. After a spell at Barnsley, Waring also played for Wolverhampton Wanderers, Tranmere Rovers (for a second time), Accrington Stanley, Bath City, Ellesmere Port Town, Graysons, Birkenhead Docks and Harrowby. He guested for New Brighton in 1939–40, and after the war he returned for a second spell with Ellesmere Port Town.

International career
Waring was also capped five times by England, scoring four goals between 1931 and 1932.

Death
Waring died in December 1980 at the age of 74. His ashes were scattered in the Holte End goal mouth before a game against Stoke City.

Flockmeal
Never mind humility. If you want to become a Wikipedian, you will find out how to fix Flockmeal's page and do it. Hint - there is a tab marked history at the top of the page.

There is no such thing as being too careful. In fact the reverse is true on Wiki - be bold - everything can be reverted. If Flockmeal gets to his page before you do, he will not mind - you have left a note - that is the important thing.

About the only thing that needs thinking about twice is moving pages.

Here is a tip I got when I started: You can ask for speedy deletion of mistake article if you're the only contributor. (Replace 'reason' with reason!) There are a few other notes to myself at the top of my talk page that you may find useful.

Talk:Lake Okeechobee

Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment
This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 23 August 2021 and 10 December 2021. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Wittlj. Peer reviewers: Maddyvotypka, Fernandesi.

Above undated message substituted from Template:Dashboard.wikiedu.org assignment by PrimeBOT (talk) 02:08, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

Fix Dates
As of 5/25/09, under the section Hurricanes, it says: "In 1934 the Great Miami Hurricane hit the Lake Okeechobee area, killing approximately 300 people. Two years later in 1928, . . . ."

Shark River
Where is the Shark River? I can't find it on my Delorme atlas.

 * It is one of the flow channels of the Everglades. There is a Natl. Park interp. center there, so it is well known - Marshman 04:00, 2 Dec 2004 (UTC)

 * DeLorme Page 117, C3, and Page 120, B1 - Aerobird 14:54, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

 * The Shark_River_(Florida) is further south near the south end of the Everglades. The Shark river takes its water from the Shark River Slough which is one of the main flow channels (as mentioned by Marshman) in the Everglades, and takes its name from the river it flows into.  One of the entrances into Everglades National Park, on the Tamiami Trail is known as the Shark Valley entrance as it goes out into this slough.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aapold (talk • contribs) 20:08, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Florida Trail
This section was cleaned up after some discussion on this talk page.

Third-largest lake?
It seems that the Great Salt Lake is larger than Lake Okeechobee. Should this article be changed to "fourth-largest lake", or "third-largest freshwater lake"? —Bkell 17:32, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
 * I'd say you are right - Marshman 04:10, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

I think the area of the lake is incorrect by a decimal place. The article currently says that its area is over 4,000 square miles, that can not be right. It must be around 400 and 500 square miles. Can someone fix this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.94.204.9 (talk) 10:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Death Count
Thanks for making the changes in numbers of persons killed so clear. The previous revision made simply by changing a number was not acceptable only because there was no way to verify it was not just a vandalization of the article's original text. Of course, citing sources should have been in there from the beginning, but your rewriteg now brings the text up to a high standard and allows the reader some opportunity to verify elsewhere if desired - Marshman 19:06, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
 * welcome Thepcnerd 05:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

Pronounciation
The pronounciation of the lake's name should be provided. 69.137.220.238 01:17, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

 * "oh key chobe e" - now if someone would convert that to a proper pronunciation. Thepcnerd 02:25, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

"oh ka cho bee" is another possible pronunciation.

Was this the lake mentioned in The X-Files TV show?
I am wondering if this is the lake mentioned in the FOX TV show The X-Files. --Emana 01:07, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes it was mentioned in Episod 3 of Season 1 "Conduit as the location of the abduction of a teenage girl. It was also referred to as an UFO hotspot in the episode. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.29.160.175 (talk) 18:48, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

WRONG!!!! First of all, Conduit is Episode 4 of Season 1. Second of all, the Lake in the Episode is Lake Okoboji in Sioux City, Iowa. Shame on you Wikipedia. A friend and fellow x-files fanatic is moving near Lake Okeechobee and this post got me so excited I decided to re watch the episode only to be hugely disappointed! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.120.4.251 (talk) 01:44, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Wildlife
What lives in the lake? Fish? Reptiles? How polluted is the lake?

Many fish live in the lake such as Bluegill, Largemouth Bass and Crappie. The American Alligator is very common. A lot of birds live around the lake as well including the Great Blue Heron, Bald Eagle, Osprey and Turkey Vulture. Aapold (talk) 18:32, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Copyvio
Removed the history section as a probable copyvio. -anon

 * Hey ass, how about you bring it up on the talk page before removing large chunks of content? I put that content there and the material is public domain. Eli lilly 17:32, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

 * I thought copyvios were supposed to be removed first, and discussed later. In any case, why do you think the material is public domain? -anon

 * Where did you get the "remove first, discuss later" idea? The wikipedia copyrights page clearly indicates the steps that should be taken and none of them are along the lines of the action you took.  I contacted the SFWMD prior to posting the content to ensure that it is in the public domain and the material was listed with the necessary citation and link as recommended in the wikipedia copyright guidelines.  However, I am not going to get into an edit war, so I will not add the content back again. Eli lilly 23:40, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

fish?
Are there fish?

ya it is a lake after all ...

drought
Its because we're converting to Africa's weather pattern. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.41.155.8 (talk) 12:55, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Max and Average depth
I think that the max and average depth should be changed considering that the lake has been drained so that the army corps of engineers work on restoring the dike. I will leave it up to ya'll since im new to editing pages and don't want to screw stuff up - RareLine (talk) 17:31, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

I think max and average depth should be revisited. 12 feet is far lower than maximum. This chart: http://w3.saj.usace.army.mil/h2o/plots/okehp.pdf from the US Army Corps of Engineers reports recently the level has been nearly 16 feet. At the moment, the level is almost 14 feet averaged to over 13 feet. -- Synthetoonz 14:15, 10 June 2013 (UTC) "Lake level" is from sea level, not lake bottom! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:6C4:204:BEBC:31AD:5640:8247:935D (talk) 14:18, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Date of formation
I don't know the geological timescale of the Florida peninsula, but the "6,000 years ago when the ocean waters receded" timeline seems odd since the Everglades page says that human habitation in the area dates back 15,000 years. the 6,000 year date sounds like a young-earth creationist position to me, not a scientific or geological perspective. Would someone care to correct this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.111.236.135 (talk) 16:12, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

"Relatively Shallow"
It seems severely understated to describe a lake with a Maximum depth of 12 feet and an Average depth of 9 feet as big as Okeechobee as "Relatively shallow". This language needs to be revised. HaroldWilson'sWar (talk) 02:17, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

Dike threatened by Hurricane Irma
Governor Scott stated on CNN, Sept 8 2017, that he had been assured that the southern dike, Herbert Hoover Dike, was not at risk with no discussion of the "what if" scenario should the dike fail. This threat need better coverage in the article for proper risk assessment. Also, the source for the assurances should be a part of the record.

Adding a Limnology Section
I am in the early stages of creating a Limnology section for this page. I am still compiling sources that I will use but so far have collected these:

- Hiscock, Jeffrey G., C. Scott Thourot, and Joyce Zhang. "Phosphorus budget—land use relationships for the northern Lake Okeechobee watershed, Florida." Ecological Engineering 21.1 (2003): 63-74.

- Havens, Karl E., and Dale E. Gawlik. "Lake Okeechobee conceptual ecological model." Wetlands 25.4 (2005): 908-925.

- James, R. Thomas, et al. "Nitrogen dynamics in Lake Okeechobee: forms, functions, and changes." Hydrobiologia 669.1 (2011): 199-212.

-Beaver, John R., et al. "Extreme weather events influence the phytoplankton community structure in a large lowland subtropical lake (Lake Okeechobee, Florida, USA)." Hydrobiologia 709.1 (2013): 213-226.

I will still find more sources or may decide not to use these but I wanted to make my general intentions known. If anyone has suggested sources/information or sees any conflicting issues with these source, I would appreciate the advice. Wittlj (talk) 17:41, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

 * Welcome! The article will certainly benefit from such an addition. If you need any help in formatting citations or otherwise dealing with the Wikipedia:Manual of style, I will be happy to help. - Donald Albury 19:15, 17 September 2021 (UTC)

Reassessment needed
This is no way a start-class article. Is there some way we can get this reassessed to reflect all the work that's been put in? Kazamzam (talk) 15:10, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Any editor can enter an assessment for an article. I don't pay attention to such rankings. I look at articles in terms how they can be improved, and whether I want to spend time improving the article. - Donald Albury 18:10, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

8th Largest Natural Freshwater Lake
The intro to this article mentions that Lake Okeechobee is the 10th largest natural freshwater lake in the US, but clicking the link to the page of largest U.S. lakes shows that it’s the 10th largest overall. However, the Great Salt Lake is #8 and is not freshwater, and Lake Oahe is #9 but is manmade.

The introduction should be changed to either indicate Lake Okeechobee is the 8th largest natural freshwater lake, or simply the 10th largest lake in the U.S. Kevinsja (talk) 16:11, 5 January 2024 (UTC)

Category:Jack the Ripper

Jack the Ripper is the pseudonym given to a serial killer active in the Whitechapel area of London, England in the second half of 1888. The name is taken from a letter by someone claiming to be the murderer, published at the time of the killings. While numerous suspects have been advanced as the likely perpetrator, Jack the Ripper's identity has not been determined.

Escribitionist

An escribitionist is a person who keeps a diary or journal via electronic means, and in particular, publishes their entries on the World Wide Web. The word was coined in June 1999 by Erin Venema, an online diarist, in the course of a discussion on a mailing list for web journalers. At issue was how to distinguish web journal authors from keepers of traditional paper-and-ink diaries.

The word comes from a combination of the English word "exhibitionist" and the Spanish word "escribir", meaning "to write". (The latter is cognate to the English "scribe"; both come from the Latin scribere.) It also evokes the marketing gimmick of using the letter "e" as a prefix to imply a link to technology and electronics, although that was not intended.

Coined before the widespread use of weblogs, the word escribitionist is often used to distinguish diary keepers on the web from weblog authors, whose writing often involve far more diverse styles, perspectives and subjects than those used in personal journals. While a weblog author may engage in journaling, or reporting, or political commentary, an escribitionist is focused on personal experiences and reflection.

Hey,

I'm just another guy helpin out.

Currently, I am fully employed. Pay's ok. (I can feed myself basically!) I rarely get to do anything here in wikipedia. But I drop by once a while, especially when the boss ain't looking. Hahahahaaha. I just want to bring in another open mind regarding matters of POVs.

The last thing I want to say is that Wikipedia is great and still getting better. Thanks.

Ainaro is a town in East Timor, the capital of the Ainaro suco, the Ainaro administrative post and the Ainaro Municipality, and is located in the southwest part of the country. The town of Ainaro is located 78 km south of Dili, the national capital.

Destruction of Ainaro
During the Indonesian occupation from 1975 to 1999, Ainaro was home to a large contingent of Indonesian military (TNI)-backed pro-Indonesia militias in the months leading up to the 30 August 1999 referendum on independence. As a result, it suffered near-total devastation during the TNI orchestrated scorched earth operation with more than 95 percent of its buildings destroyed.

Climate
Ainaro's climate lies on the border between a tropical savanna climate (Köppen Aw) and a tropical monsoon climate (Am). Compared to Dili, Ainaro receives about two-and-a-half times more annual rainfall because it lies on the windward side of the southeastern trade winds, which especially during the first half of Dili's dry season give moisture to the southeastern side of Timor whilst the northern side is dry.

Reichmann family

The Reichmann family is a Jewish-Canadian family best known for their property empire built through the Olympia and York company.

At the family's peak, their combined wealth was estimated at $13 billion making them the fourth-richest family in the world. The family's fortunes eventually waned, particularly with the ill-fated Canary Wharf development, which saw the family business file for bankruptcy in 1992 with debts of $20 billion. The family's wealth partially recovered, reaching roughly $2.3 billion in 2018.

History
The Reichman(n)s were originally from the small town of Beled, Hungary, but the ambitious Samuel Reichmann moved the family to Vienna, Austria, in 1928 where he became a successful merchant. He and his wife Renée had six children:
 * Eva Reichmann (married name Heller; 1923–1984)
 * Edward Reichmann (1925–2005)
 * Louis Reichmann (1927–2005)
 * Albert Reichmann (1929–2022)
 * Paul Reichmann (1930–2013)
 * Ralph Reichmann (b. 1933)
 * Ezriel Reichmann (b.1938)

During the Second World War, the family fled first to Paris, France, and then to the neutral city of Tangier, Morocco, in the 1950s. There, Samuel became a prominent business leader specializing in the currency trade. Renée became a renowned humanitarian aiding victims of the Holocaust, arranging food parcels to be delivered through the Spanish Red Cross to concentration camps such as Theresienstadt and Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Despite the financial success of life in Tangier the family left to avoid the turbulence of Moroccan independence from the French protectorate. Eva settled in London while Edward went to Montreal. There, in 1955, he founded Olympia Flooring and Tile Company to import tiles from Europe. Edward described Montreal fondly, with its large Jewish population and opportunity for profits; soon the rest of the family followed him to Canada in 1956.

Louis joined Edward in Montreal while Albert, Paul, and Ralph settled in Toronto, where they first expanded Edward's tile business but then moved into construction and property development. Samuel was the leader of this business that became known as York Developments. Albert and Paul played a secondary but central role, while Ralph remained in charge of the tile business. In the late 1960s, Edward's Montreal business was faltering and on the verge of collapse. He was only saved from ruin by a bail-out from his younger brothers in Toronto. Embarrassed at this turn of events Edward left Canada for Israel.

In 1969, the family incorporated Olympia & York (O&Y), a privately-held real-estate company entirely controlled by the family; in 1976, the company began operations in the US.

Over time, through successful projects in Toronto and New York, O&Y became the largest property development and management firm in the world in the 1980s, and the Reichmanns one of the world's richest families. (At the family's peak, their combined wealth was estimated at $13bn, making them the fourth-richest family on the planet.) Holdings of O&Y included First Canadian Place, the World Financial Centre in Manhattan, and Canary Wharf in London. In 1980, they bought English Property Corp, one of the largest British developers. In 1981, they bought Abitibi-Price Inc, the world's largest newspaper producer, for $502 million; and in 1985, they acquired the majority interest in Gulf Canada Resources, in the second-largest takeover in Canadian history.

Throughout this time, the family remained strongly committed to their Haredi Judaism.

In the early 1990s, the business empire and family's fortune was brought low by the Canary Wharf project in London. In 1987, British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who had seen the transformation of the World Financial Centre, enlisted Paul to transform the docklands of Canary Wharf into a financial powerhouse. This project proved catastrophic, as banks were reluctant to move three miles east of the City of London. By 1992, O&Y declared bankruptcy in the biggest corporate failure of all time—with debts of $20bn—and the Reichmann fortune was greatly reduced.

In 1997, Albert's son Philip Reichmann and Paul’s son-in-law Frank Hauer relaunched the company as O&Y Properties Inc. and bought back First Canadian Place. Reichmann and Hauer sold their company in 2005. Since then, the family has continued to be involved in tiles and stone, retirement care, and real-estate development deals around the world.
