Hey mr. I asked you about converting an old Kurdistan flag to a svg flag, don't know what you answered, cause i dont find my "question" in your page anymore, so will you be so kind and convert this one for us. File:Http://ku.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wêne:Alai-kurdistan.gif from http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/ku/d/d6/Alai-kurdistan.gif, because they are using the wrong flag in the english section. thanks again Metino84 (talk) 23:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Denelson83,
Firstly I am brand new to Wikipedia so please accept my sincerest apology if this comment is in the wrong place, posted in the wrong manner or otherwise not how it "should be done" I found that getting a comment to you as author of a certain file is not as easy here as it is when messing about with facebook!
I am a navigating officer on a UK registered platform supply vessel (PSV). My comment is regarding your file for flag Hotel which is used on a number of other pages relating to flags, maritime pilots and pilot vessels. The flag is depicted as being red and white, split vertically (colours side by side) where in fact flag Hotel is split horizontally (white on top of red). I felt I should point this out in the interests of accuracy.
Please dont take my word for it, I am 100% sure that if you check this information against the international code of signals, or indeed look at any pilot boat with the H flag hoisted you will find that I am correct.
Please feel free to somehow move this text to a more appropriate place if I have used the wrong method to get this message to you.
Thanks and best regards,
Anigmalistic, UK.

Hello again. Thank you for your reply. When I received it I angrily grabbed the International Code of Signals from the bridge of the ship I am on intending on getting a reference that would prove my argument. I will leave you to imagine the sinking feeling I felt as I opened the book to Appendix 2, page 172 (Table of signalling flags) and found flag hotel to be exactly as you described.
My apologies for doubting you, and you can rest assured that the rogue "This is a pilot boat" flag that had made its way on board our ship under the guise of flag Hotel is being replaced.

| Your Wikimood meters inspired me to create my own scale related to stress, and for that you must have this. Two One Six Five Five (talk) 14:23, 8 December 2007 (UTC) |
Hello Denelson83
Thanks for your corrections on language and adjustments. Last few days so many alterations have been made that the part I had addes is changed quite a lot. I still have read it carefully, but some changes are not correct in my opinion. I'll treat them here.
1. meaning a measure of the precise time-of-day is very important
I do not consider this to be correct. Because once the relative distances are known. And that is before the location, the distances to the satellites or the time is known. All calculations can be done with the distances only. Time does not need to be involved at all. (Time differences are used for calculating the relative distances. But after that everything can be calculated in meters.)
2.but in four-dimensional spacetime,
Because all calculations can be done with distances allone, I would not call it four-dimensional spacetime, four-dimensional does give the suggestion of relativity concepts and Lorenz transformations. Allthough relativety plays a role it is not needed to explain the principle.
As said I still have to read everything carefully, but am thinking about the following. This is not worked out and I am typing while making it 'up'. The numbers still have to be worked out, so the numbers only are for illustration, as the placenames, because I still have to construct a nice example.
An example how GPS works using a more earth based example.
The following example is based on the surface of the earth and therefore 2D, but the principle is the same. A similar problem as the GPS problem is the following. You are in Great Britain, at an unknown town, but you know the distance from the town to Birminham is 100 km more than the distance to London. Also the distance to Bath is 30 km more than the distance to Londen. Where are you?
You could try to use Google earth to solve the problem. Offcourse the distance to Birmingham is 70 km more than the distance to Bath, but this does is not extra information.
How can this problem be solved.
1. Use google earth and with trial and error you can get closer and closer to the solution.
2. Set it up in an x,y grid (where distances are 'equal' in both directions), and use calculations to solve this problem. There are a number of algoritms for this. (An iteration with circles is possible, an iteration with hyperboles is possible, pseudo calculation is possible).
3. Take a car and a GPS and drive towards the direction that the distances are matching the problem. (This can be done theoretically in a computer as well, so you do not need a car).
4. Use a spreadsheat of 100 by 100 and use a grid to do the calculations. Make the spreadsheat so that you can move the coordinates and zoom in and zoom out.
If for example the given 0.0 is exactly at Greenich, Londen is at ..., Birmingham is at ... and Bath is at ..., with
This example can be extended to a 1D solution. Where only the relative distances to two towns is known, but you know that your are on the costline of Britain, so there are only two points that fit.
For the first example (London, Birmingham, Bath) there are actually two solutions, but I intend to set up the problem so that on solution falls within Britain and the other in the sea.
What is different in the example from a GPS. Satellites are moving, but for a single calculation they are considered to be at one point. An Extra salellite is needed because we live in a 3D world. Measuring is done by measuring the time between the signals. In the example the technique how to measure the distances to the towns is not given. Mathematically the problems are the same, with the town example (2D) it becomes hyperboles on the map where you are, in space (3D) they are hyperboloids.
If there are errors in measuring the distances, these can result in larger errors for your location. Having more towns will confirm you correct position and can give greater accuracy. Different Geometries will give different accuracies. As with GPS with the minimum number of satellites needed, there are always two solutions, but one can be discarded easely.
As said this will take some thinking of my side and some figuring out towns and distances so that they are correct. Crazy Software Productions 18:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
A real example : Three locations, Iron Bridge, Severn Bridge, London Tower Bridge.
Iron Bridge 52 37 38.48 N 2 29 7.54 W
Severn Bridge 51 34 20.66 N 2 41 30.20 W (117741.64 meters further than Iron Bridge from the location)
Tower Bridge 51 30 20.07 N 0 4 31.32 W (13644.40 meters further than Severn Bridge from theMetino84 (talk) 23:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC) location)
Question what is the location ?
I must honestly say, that I do not know how difficult it is to actually find the location using for example Google earth. Maybe another example is better ?
So something allong the line of this. As you can see this once the relative distances are known, time does not have to be involved. Crazy Software Productions 18:44, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Denelson83, you have uploaded the following version of the Bulgarian National flag, allegedly from the period 1878-1944:
![Flag of Bulgaria (1878-1944).svg]()
In fact this type wasn't Bulgarian National banner (also a State banner, because Bulgaria didn't have particular state type) in the period mentioned above. The Bulgarian National flag was described in the Tarnovo Constitution of 1879 as follows:
- Art. 23. The Bulgarian people's flag is three-coloured and consists of white, green and red colours, placed horizontally. (Source, Tarnovo Constitution of 1879, Juridical Encyclopedia, in Bulgarian.)
There wasn't a golden lion on red square in the upper corner. Such practice didn't exist even unofficially. According to the Bulgarian Heraldry and Vexillology Society the National flag consisted of only three coloured stripes, see here. However, according to the same organization there was an ensign with golden lion on red square in the upper corner in this period, but this was the Naval ensign of Bulgaria, see here. Therefore I want to ask you to replace this inaccurate version of the Bulgarian flag with the actual historical one:
![Flag of Bulgaria.svg]()
There are numerous historical articles in English Wikipedia, which show the Bulgarian Naval ensign instead of Bulgarian National flag, so I think this case is important. This replacement has been already done in the article Flag of Bulgaria.
Accept my greetings, Dimitar Navorski 03:05, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
- Please, excuse me for my mistake. I don't now how I could rename such kind of file. Is it possible for you to rename the first image as "Naval ensign of Bulgaria 1879-1944"? I'l be very thankful. - Dimitar Navorski 03:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

- I've uploaded the same image under its right name Naval Ensign of Bulgaria (1878-1944), but I'm new in Wikimedia Commons so I don't have the right to rename older files. - Dimitar Navorski 04:56, 15 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm not sure. I had the same thought about it looking odd without green, but the problem is that green typically means "go." All of the other colors are supposed to signify a problem, red for deletion, orange for content issues, etc. I'd suggest posting a message to Wikipedia talk:Template standardisation. Cheers. --MZMcBride 23:00, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Denelson83. You added 'id="colorcode"' to the white background div box that surrounds our examples at Wikipedia:Article message boxes. That id isn't listed at Wikipedia:Catalogue of CSS classes so I could not figure out what it is for. So I am curious for what purpose you added it?

Correcting wrong information that you put on wikipedia

Thanks for uploading Image:1000Hz.ogg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.
As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 02:40, 10 November 2007 (UTC).

Changing an svg flag you created
|
I added some maritime flags to the Sail Racing Rules page. Some of them,
for example, don't have the 1 pixel border around them which makes them difficult to read in table form and against the light blue background but others, like
do. Can I change the image or would you rather do it? Some of the flags you created have a "pencil line border" as it were, and some don't and I think the border is preferred for the International maritime signal flag set. I'm asking since you created them and I haven't done any editing in commons before. If I do edit, do I just upload over the old? Thanks. HeadSnap (talk) 21:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
That's great. I didn't know about the border option for images so I'll update the images on the page accordingly. Sure saves time recreating the images. HeadSnap (talk) 00:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Army PM GPS DAGR page not 404 for me

Hey there. I restored your edit to DAGR since the link still works for me. Not sure what could be wrong. Can you try it again? - Davandron | Talk 18:35, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Hey again, just wanted to coordinate with you on two things
- I removed the thumbnail size on the waas service area image because of a feature built into the wikipedia software. Each person can define the size they want thumbnails rendered at based on the size of their display screen (24" lcd or 3.5" iphone). But when a thumbnail size is defined in the article (i.e. "300px") the renderer will ignore the user's settings and display at that size. People can always click to view full size. I hope this is OK by you.
- I saw that you added the old WAAS logo back in. I'd actually removed that in the past because, as far as I can tell, they no longer use that logo. The image itself was pretty small and I tried to find a bigger one but couldn't. Now I could be completely wrong but...
- Could you do some searching and, if you find it's still used, change the image out for a higher resolution one? If not, how about we remove it?
Thanks and I really appreciate your contributions! - Davandron | Talk 14:58, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:M6 Logo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia: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.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 22:13, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

In response to this edit summary -- you have it right. :) A queen regnant is the ruling body, rather than just the wife of the guy who rules; a queen consort is only called "queen" by virtue of being married to the king. (It's not clear, but Endymion is probably a king consort. I guess their political power might be more evenly-balanced than that, but it seems unlikely.) --Masamage ♫ 01:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
I'm new to wiki; let's see if I can leave a message here! This is the basic concept, but I have no idea where to get references: After an EMP event, my horse and buggy will still work, my truck might work, and my computer will probably be fried. There is some ISO testing in cages for electronics certification in Farady cages with sparks and arcs, but I don't think anyone has tried a buggy or the plethora of other essential devices that could be rated. Some are really big! Will the city's water plant still work? That is usually the first thing that one tries to restore, because the hospital does not work without water. This assumes an ordianry (not EMP) disaster observation (Kansas ice storm), where one expects the hospital to shift over to a generator while one deals with the crisis. Perhaps the Rand Corporation (Dr. Strangelove) has already produced a report, but I doubt that we can see it or reference it. Nukeh (talk) 14:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Lib-can.png
|
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Lib-can.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia: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.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 00:15, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:Radio_Canada_International.png as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

Need Assistance to Repost an Article Flagged For Speedy Deletion
|
Denelson83,
I am brand new with Wikipedia. On February 8, 2008, I posted an article for Reid Supply Company that had too many external links, was flagged as advertising and was speedily deleted before I understood how to use it. I corrected the problem with the Reid Supply Company submission and am ready to resubmit. How do I re-submit the information?
I tagged the submission with the "hangon" tag, but must have accidentally overwrote the new submission. I tried contacting KurtRaschke who originally flagged my article for deletion, but have not received a response since early February. Your contact information was also associated with the speedy deletion, so I am now contacting you.
Please let me know what I need to do to "unblock" Reid Supply Company and repost a more Wikipedia-friendly submission.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Thanks and A Few More Questions
|
Denelson83,
Thank you for the tip about resubmitting the Reid Supply Company article. I'll give it a try when I'm finished editing it. I tried to resubmit it before, but I got the message "You are editing a deleted page" warning.
Where can I find the code to create a company block like on the W.W. Grainger page? My article is complete, but I would like to have a company block with internal links (Slogan, Year, Type) and external link to our web site. I would also like to know how to create the section headers (See Also, References, External Links). I have been searching on Wikipedia, but haven't been able to find the information I'm looking for.
Thank you for your assistance.
Gpalmer7 (talk) 18:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)GPalmer7
Denelson83,
OK, about this conflict of interest thing....how do you suppose Grainger, MSC, McMaster-Carr or any other company gets their information with propriary logos on Wikipedia? You can't tell me that the general public out of the goodness of their hearts are going to do company research, pull propietary logos and information and post it on Wiki. If they didn't post the information themselves, they hired and paid a third party to do it. From what I've heard, that's how the game is played.
Reid Supply Company has been in business for 60 years and I was trying to present that information on Wiki. I made the initial mistake of having the original article more of a marketing piece instead of information. I re-wrote it with facts, no marketing copy. If I can't post information about Reid Supply, can I send you the information as an unbiased person and you post it? I can assure you that the information is accurate.

Hi. I'm just wondering in what way is that dab dubious in any way? Panamax is a brand of generic pain relief medication popular within the Asia/Pacific region (ie. Australia). Given that referencing a dab is nothing short of ridiculous, I'd like to know how a user searching for the effects of "Panamax" (let's assume they don't understand "paracetomol") is going to get there from a page about shipping widths? Dab'ing brands when another article by the same name exists is not uncommon. If you feel that this is a rather irrelevant dab, then please be more specific in an edit summary than a term such as "dubious" - expand on your reasoning. Thanks. SMC (talk) 12:48, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
I've been out of the loop for a couple of weeks, but I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly for sending you into that buzz-saw. When I asked you to post that request for me, I did it because I was afraid that a newbie non-admin posting such a request might not be taken as seriously. I did not realize that Alkivar apparently still bears the unconditional and unquestioning support of a number of senior admins on Wikipedia. Based on the policy statement from WP:USER which I cut-and-pasted into the MFD, I could not comprehend how anyone would begrudge me my request to remove the most pointedly offensive parts. As I said, I was unaware, and I'm sorry. Bullzeye (Ring for Service) 01:28, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on ZIP:00601, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because ZIP:00601 is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting ZIP:00601, please affix the template {{hangon}} 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. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 02:01, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Image:BCMap-doton-Victoria.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} 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 [[ Talk:Image:BCMap-doton-Victoria.png|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hey chief, I'd like to enlist your aid in helping me make Collectonian understand that Hitoshi Doi and Fansview are reliable sources for the edits she's marked as "vandalism" of mine. If you could take a look over there, I'd appreciate it. I'd certainly like someone who is a administrator to weigh in since she's being quite tendentious all over wikipedia of late. Kyaa the Catlord (talk) 08:11, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- If you are gonna ask for help, don't freaking lie about it. I did not mark it as vandalism, I asked you to discuss it on the talk page to show why you feel it meets WP:RS when the site itself does not give any such indication it does. Instead, you just reverted with no summary and ran around whining about it. Its a GA article, you don't want to prove the sources are reliable, fine, let go to GAR or delisting. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 08:14, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, because supplemental citations for a reliably sourced statement that support the original citation's statement should be challenged and tagged on sight. And, for the record, I guess you did not label me a vandal. I read that incorrectly and I apologize. I still question your action in reverting my edit and continue to state that the sources are reliable. Kyaa the Catlord (talk) 12:57, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Can you explain your actions here? They seem clearly strange.
- Two idiot editors were engaged in a lame content dispute about image positioning. They were clearly edit waring. Both were blocked for a week. G2bambino (talk · contribs) and PrinceOfCanada (talk · contribs)
- The matter was discussed on ANI [1]
- You unblock ONE of the [participants.http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=block&page=User%3APrinceOfCanada] # 03:47, 24 September 2008 Tiptoety (Talk | contribs) blocked "G2bambino (Talk | contribs)" (account creation blocked) with an expiry time of 1 week (Disruptive editing: right back at it with User:PrinceOfCanada on Monarchy of Canada)the next day (fair enough)
- You protect the article 08:01, 25 September 2008 Denelson83 (Talk | contribs) m (Protected Monarchy of Canada: Edit warring / Content dispute ([edit=sysop] (indefinite) [move=sysop] (indefinite))) Why? The edit war has (by your own reckoning) stopped. Indeed one of the participants remains blocked
- You then edit the protected article back to the version preferred by PrinceofCanada [2] - because in your (content judgement) that version is "correct".
Why did you unblock ONE participant? (actually I've no big problem with that) Why did you protect an article if the edit waring had stopped? And why did you edit a protected article - one you had protected - to the version preferred by the editor you unblocked? And what is the justification for keeping the article protected at the version you preffer? See also m:The Wrong Version. Oh, just for the record, I've never had an interest in the content of the article - and don't care about the lame edit war over images itself.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 08:01, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
I have been discussing this situation with PrinceOfCanada on IRC. I can give you the transcript of my conversation with him if you wish.
He claims his edits were following the Manual of Style, which I consider to be "the ultimate consensus".
Also, I didn't unblock G2bambino because he stated that he had left Wikipedia (m:Right to vanish). However, he is now unblocked as well.
-- Denelson83 08:17, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- You still needlessly protected an article, and then edited it. I think whether it was MOS was precisely the content dispute - so basically one side persuaded the protecting admin "on IRC" to revert a protected article to his version. Have you any idea how bad this looks?--Scott MacDonald (talk) 09:14, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
-
- Okay. So how am I supposed to handle this type of situation again in the future? PrinceOfCanada asked on #wikipedia, which is where I normally hang out, if an admin could help him with a problem he needed solved. I was apparently the only admin paying attention there. -- Denelson83 09:22, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
-
-
- Firstly don't protect an article unless there is a live edit war (and I suggest you unprotect it now). Once you've acted as an admin and protected an article, then it stays at the protected version until the dispute is resolved through normal dispute resolution. Never edit a protected article, unless to remove a clear BLP violation. Once you've acted as an admin, you need to stay aloof from content issues. If you want to take sides in the content disputes, then you must not use admin tools. You need to decide whether to help as an admin or as an editor - not both. If Prince is correct, then dispute resolution is where he needs to go. As I say, I've no particular problem with the unblocking, although you should probably have noted in in the ANI discussion.--Scott MacDonald (talk) 09:29, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- Already done. The article is no longer protected. -- Denelson83 09:41, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- I also strongly disagree with your unblock, and would have liked to have at least known about it. Please understand that the block was not simply to protect that one article but to protect a whole range of articles that were being disrupted by G2bambino along with PrinceOfCanada, and simply protecting that article is not going to solve this long standing dispute. Also, only unblocking one half of the participants really tells one that their actions are acceptable but the others are not when they both equally edit warred. Either way, I will not wheel war but I would like to note my disagreement with your unblock. Tiptoety talk 15:34, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
- I'd also like to say that you've left the article in PrinceOfCanada's preferred version, which is non-neutral. You may agree with PoC's position, but your discussion with him remains out of the public sphere, leaving your views unknown, and we are guided to maintain the status quo while disputed edits are being discussed; there was a consensus on that page before the dispute began. Rest assured that returning it to that point does not restore the version I want; I'm now well aware that what sat before was incorrect per WP:MOS, but will leave it alone until we can decide on exactly what to do. --G2bambino (talk) 15:43, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Copyright problem: List of television stations in North America by media market

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, such as List of television stations in North America by media market, but we regretfully cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from either web sites or printed material. This article appears to be a copy from Nielsen Market Research, and therefore a copyright violation. The copyrighted text has been or will soon be deleted.
If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

It may also be necessary for the text be modified to have an encyclopedic tone and to follow Wikipedia article layout. For more information on Wikipedia's policies, see Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
If you would like to begin working on a new version of the article you may do so at Talk:List of television stations in North America by media market/Temp. Leave a note at Talk:List of television stations in North America by media market saying you have done so and an administrator will move the new article into place once the issue is resolved. Thank you, and please feel welcome to continue contributing to Wikipedia. Happy editing! User:2008Olympianchitchatseemywork 02:02, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
The "superfluous markup" you removed is needed on the Wikimedia Commons side to link back to the Wikipedia articles explaining the height and backness values. If it's removed on this side, the difference should be documented in the comment at the top so it can be preserved in future edits. Since it doesn't hurt anything to keep it, though, I figured it was best to leave as much as possible identical. Would you mind reverting this edit?

Proposed deletion of AM Radio (band)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article AM Radio (band), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- non notable band
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi,
Good job putting the coordonates on this article. I had to change back the coordonates of Lac Castor as there was an error in the call letters that confused you. Lac castor is CWMB (north of Quebec City at 48N 70W) and Marion Bridge is CXMB (on Cape Breton at 45 N 60W). I cleared that confusion too. Keep the good work.

File source problem with File:Vanisle.png

If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:37, 13 January 2009 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 (talk) 16:37, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

These are a list of protected templates, on which the commons auto tag applied to other Image licensing tags (such as to PD-Self) would be desirable,
- {{Cc-by}},

Some image stemplates media have been omitted because of specfic details, making an auto-tag unwise. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:03, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah! Promote Commons. Unfortunatly this will overflow Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons. Not all of these images can be copied to Commons right away, the images first need to be checked for proper author and source. Maybe create another category to seperate these images from images tagged with {{Copy to Wikimedia Commons}}? multichill (talk) 13:35, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Move to commons auto tag -
|
OK
Following some disscusions , the issue with {{self}} are solved...
However, there are some cleanup issues that need to be done because of some goings on during the discussions..
i) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:CommonsEncouraged&oldid=265274253 needs to be restored to be the live version of that template.
ii) http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Self/sandbox&oldid=265691710 should become the live version of self.
iii) Instances of Self using an additonal |commons= at the end will need to be converted because of the 'fix', which was to allow for example {{GFDL|commons=<param>}} to be passed to {{self}} instead of just GFDL as at present.
Once these changes are made , the migration from manual {{move to commons}} tagging , should expect for a few specfic licenses/ cases be completed :)
- )
Hopefully this should reduce the number of 'free' images on enwiki that should be on Commons :)
Leave a note on my talk page, if you have questions, or when the above edits are done :) Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:22, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Consensus?
Hello, I see that on January 20 you made edits to numerous templates by adding the {{CommonsEncouraged}} tag without any consensus to do so. We now have incorrectly licensed imaged not only being tagged with "Images from works of this type are candidates to be copied to the Wikimedia Commons using the Transwiki process." but also being added to Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons. Please consider reverting all of your changes until there has been a community discussion on this change. As this seems to have been been done with Sfan00 IMG I am posting a message on their page as well. Thank you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 15:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
NOTE: see User talk:Neurolysis and User talk:Sfan00 IMG for discussion(s). Also I did not see the ""Templates for commons move 'auto-tag'" thread above, however there is no consensus to make the change there. Soundvisions1 (talk) 16:51, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you unilaterally changed the timezones in timeline of spaceflight articles. When making changes like this, particularly if they affect this many pages, they really should be discussed first.

WWVB and "on time marker"
|
I'm pretty sure I'm right, so I want ahead and reverted your changes, but your input is still appreciated. Technically, the "on time marker" is an instant, not a second; it's the instant of the leading (falling) edge of the :00 marker bit. (Think of someone saying "start the countdown on my mark... mark!") See http://tf.nist.gov/stations/wwvbtimecode.htm and its arrow to "On time point A." Thus it's a bad name for the leading marker bit, as it's just similar enough to be confusing. Just below the diagram, though, there's a list of time code bits:
- 1 PPM frame reference markers
- Binary-coded decimal year and time-of-year code word (31 bits)
- 6 PPM position identifier markers (P0 thru P5)
That suggests to me that "frame reference marker" is an official name for the leading bit. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 00:10, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
- I'd also like to question this edit. Do you really think that's a better explanation of the DST bits? While the DST1/DST2 definition isn't the same phrasing that NIST uses, it is equivalent and seems extremely unambiguous. This is a stylistic matter, not a factual one, so I'm not going to start an edit war over it, but I'm not sure that's an improvement. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
-
- Er, what do you mean "as of 00:00Z today" and "as of 24:00Z today" don't make any sense? Could you explain in more detail; they seem perfectly sensible (not to mention simple, clear, and absolutely unambiguous) to me. Um... Are you perhaps unfamiliar with the ISO 8601 time format I'm using for clarity and conciseness? 00:00Z means the beginning of the day, Zulu (UTC) time. 24:00Z means the end of the day. Bit 58 is set if and only if DST is in effect at the beginning of the day. Bit 57 is set if and only if DST is in effect at the end of the day. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:52, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Also, what the **** do you have against this edit, which you also reverted? 71.41.210.146 (talk) 07:58, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Okay, call me confused. The separate bits definition very much does match the definition in the graphic. If you say that it doen't match, could you give an example situation when they would produce different results? I agree the words don't match, but that's the point: two equivalent definitions let the reader pick whichever they prefer. And ISO 8601 is the standard for writing dates and times unambiguously. As Date and time notation documents, the only formal standard that differs is RFC2822; RFC2445 and RFC3339 both use ISO 8601-compatible syntax. (Date and time notation by country varies greatly in year-month-day ordering, but not much in time notation.) It's extremely widely used, particularly by people working with precision timekeeping — who are also the people who care about the WWVB signal format. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 08:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

"Changing .fr back to .fx: Swine flu hasn't been reported in French Guiana or French Polynesia or New Caledonia or Saint-Pierre et Miquelon yet" Nor has it been reported in Alaska and Hawaii, yet other users insisted on including those. If we are going to include exclaves of one country that is marked on the map, we should include exclaves of all the countries marked on the map. Also, you are incorrect, as ".fr" does not include French Polynesia or New Caledonia or St Pierre et Miquelon. It only includes those areas which are part of France - which includes French Guiana, Reunion, Martinique, and Guadeloupe. So either put back .fr, or remove Alaska and Hawaii.

Orphaned non-free media (File:KHQ-TV.png)

Thanks for uploading File:KHQ-TV.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 03:55, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Why is PRN 08 not listed in article, List of GPS satellite launches
|
Hello Denelson83
The Yuma Almanac for week 521, found at http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/gps/almanacs.htm says that PRN 08 is in orbit and healthy. yet I find it nowhere in List of GPS satellite launches . What is the reason for this? RHB100 (talk) 21:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
OK, Thank you for your response. This has made it possible to update the table in the GPS article Timeline and Modernization section RHB100 (talk) 02:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Do you have a reference to back up this edit? I have not seen anything indicating that there will be another Delta IV launch this year after WGS-3 in September and that the Block IIF satellites would not launch until next year. As you should know, all additions should be properly sourced to reliable sources, so please rectify this omission. -MBK004 21:32, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Even if WGS-3 wasn't going to be launched first, that date would be impossible. A Delta IV takes about three months to process. Given a WGS launch on 30 September, that would give 22 days for turnaround, which is out of the question (and WGS looks likely to slip into October anyway). --GW… 22:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi Denelson
I notice I just infringed your copyright by using your
image with the parameter |link=, which renders it unlinked to the image page, like
, thus probably not fulfilling your GFDL/CC-BY-SA attribution request.
It's being used thusly at the Wikipedia:Article wizard2.0 ff., by way of a template, and since it's used on buttons where newbie editors are supposed to click without ending up at the image page, it really needs to be linked to the target page.
This leaves me with two options, to get myself off the hook: I either replace the image on the buttons with one that has no attribution requirements, or I convince you to waive your attribution requirement, either for that template or completely. :)
Since yours is really the most beautiful right-pointed arrow and I would very much like to keep using it, would you consider the second option and spare me painting my own arrow? :)
Thanks for thinking about it, and no worries if you decide to stick with your original license.

PS I made some (actually quite a bit of) additions to the Departure Bay article you started. Tell me what you think.
- About the Ferries "weasel" wording. I wasn't sure how to change it. I would consider "similar" to be a bit misleading in the opposite direction, because, of the little bit of (off computer) BC Ferries history I've read, it was actually meant to be different (due to the labour difficulties at the time and the nature of the service). Would you be okay if I added "alternative to," as that drops the value judgment (as your "similar") does, but does not imply that the structure / intent of the Crown corp. was meant to be "similar" to the private corps? Other ideas?

SVG version of File:Flgraphic.png

In September 2008, you requested an SVG version of File:Flgraphic.png. I made such a version today with Inkspace and Emacs. The PNG file is 29365 bytes; the SVG is 39326 bytes but gzip compresses it to 5685. Before uploading this, I'd like to verify the licence. The PNG has been tagged as being in the public domain in the United States, but what does that mean for me in the EU? Was the picture published by the US government and when?

Hi Denelson83,
May I ask why you keep removing my text added to the wiki Marine VHF page? I have done extensive testing of marine VHFs and am an authority in the field in the US. The comments I added are not spam, they are up to date additions to the otherwise fairly antiquated wiki page. I mean, common on, the radio photo featured is over five years old. That is simply an eternity in the marine electronics area. I'd post a good recent radio photo, but am not sure how to do. Nor do I want everything I do ripped down because you think it is spam. I think the links out to my site add significant material for those interested in this subject matter.

Republic of China (Taiwan)
|
Hello, The Republic of China (Taiwan) is forced to compete under Chinese Taipei as its designated title. However, I believe it's not just my freedom of speech, but along with the 23 million Republic of China citizens and any loyal supporters of the ROC and Taiwan. In 2009, the ROC (Taiwan) hosted two international sports events: the 2009 Kaohsiung World Games and the 2009 Taipei Deaflympics. Both times, the President of the ROC opened the games as the President of the ROC (not as Chinese Taipei). The IOC requests that the ROC (Taiwan) use the title Chinese Taipei for international sports events and NOC committees. The Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee respects the IOC decision (which is truly the pressure from the PRC and their disgustful acts of bullying)and follows the policies (i.e. using the Chinese Taipei Olympic flag, using the Chinese Taipei title, and using the Republic of China Flag anthem to sub for the National Anthem of the ROC); however, citizens, the government, and etc. don't belong or fall under the direction of the IOC. Thus, the ROC government and its citizens have the complete right to use the title the Republic of China (Taiwan) and to bring in our national flag into these sporting events, and so anybody else. There is also confusion between the PRC (Communist mainland) and the ROC (Taiwan) for most foreigners and westerners. The title and explanation of the usage of "Chinese Taipei" is usually altered to imply that the ROC (Taiwan) belongs to the PRC (mainland). For example, the Mandarin translation of "Chinese Taipei": in the mainland would be 中國臺北 (Zhōngguó Táiběi), but the correct translation in the ROC (Taiwan) and internationally should be 中華臺北 (Zhōnghuá Táiběi). As a Chinese/Taiwanese-Canadian living in Vancouver, I'm hoping that you can respect the freedom of speech and human rights by allowing the "Republic of China (Taiwan) - competes as Chinese Taipei" or similar to be the title of the ROC under the Participating Nations for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics article. Thank you! - Anonymous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.210.66 (talk) 07:58, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

WWV time code format diagram
|
What is the reference for the -15dB and -30dB levels of 100Hz?
The various PDFs I've found at the NIST site, for example http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/1383.pdf (Jan 2002) and http://tf.nist.gov/general/pdf/1969.pdf (Jan 2005), speak only of "75% modulation". There is no indication that there is any 100 Hz in the red periods in your diagram.
Nevertheless, a sonogram of a recent capture of WWV does show that 100 Hz is continuous through the second interval. The only time I see it absent is during the minute marker.
The not-quite-"off" state seems, though, to be 20 dB below the "on" state rather than 15.
I understand that this was changed at one point, but I'm pretty sure it was prior to 2002. Jeh (talk) 07:19, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

They are all now in the Public Domain in Canada. The copyright lapsed on January 1, 2010. See File:Trans-Canada Highway shield.svg for the explanation. Imzadi1979 (talk) 07:02, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the correction but I am still working on the table. Could you hold off for a bit so our edits don't cross? Jeh (talk) 03:32, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, done now. Thanks again, I had fixed other errors but had not caught that one! Jeh (talk) 03:56, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing the colors in the new WWV (radio station) table. I was thinking about them myself. Now to do the minute chart similarly. 71.41.210.146 (talk) 21:40, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

I came across File:Same.ogg, and was curious if you could tell me the tools / process you used to create it. TonyYarusso (talk) 03:29, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks! I was thinking about bring this to FL quality, and then realized it didn't have a clickable map yet. Nice work! Jujutacular T · C 04:20, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Denelson83
I'd like to invite you to participate in the discussion held in Template talk:SVG-Logo#Edit request from FleetCommand, 27 June 2010 regarding your recent edit. Would you please kindly report in? Thanks.

Heya! I was wondering how you made a Specific Area Message Encoding signal... and if you'd be willing to make one for me for my shoutcast radio feed... with how the past three weekends have triggered tornado warnings, i think it would be a smart idea for me to have one. :)

Hi Denelson!
It seems that this file is not describing the sound /œ/ (as stated on its description page, and on Commons categories), but the sound /ø/.
As you are able to speak French, you would be welcome to discuss that with us on wikt:fr:Wiktionnaire:Wikidémie/juillet 2010#Sons représentant /œ/ et /ø/ dans Annexe:Prononciation/français#Tableau de l’API (on the french Wiktionary).
Really it's a good thing to record pronunciations, and I'm not in mind of discouraging to do it. But if there is a mistake we should correct it, to make Wikimedia projects more accurate. Thanks in advance for your help. --GaAs (d) 18:10, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
- The result is still not satisfactory. More precisely, for what I hear,
