Hi. The article I wrote is definitely not an essay. It is a article based upon data acquired from original sources as well as secondary sources, one of which is confidential. All theses sources in the article are referenced as per International Scientific Journals protocols exactly to avoid plagiarism. It is an attempt to explain why the harbour responds in the way it does and is the subject of an ongoing long term research project. The reason i wrote it as it is was to explain the locality and then why and what happened. When we look at what has happened in the harbour we have to take into the cortex the very wide geographical area that does have an impact on it. The article was written as part of the assessment for a Masters of Science part 1 (equivalent to a honours year) Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There are some things I need to clarify here because the course I am doing requiring the writing of an article for Wikipedia is the first course in a New Zealand university to do this. It is a coastal science course so we tend to think as scientists.
The university learning centre is interested in our feed back and experiences because we are seen as a pilot course. OK with regard to the primary data issue in my article. Some of the data was taken from the Lyttelton Port Company website which streams the tide gauge and meteorological data in real time from its website. To a scientist that is primary source data, but then it is also in the public domain once it is streamed online, so one could argue that it is then a secondary source and verifiable. Also the Port company website has a library on it's website of previous data collected. With regard to the seiche data, that is available on the Mulgor Consulting Ltd website and therefore verifiable as well. Again it is in the public domain. The report written by Mulgor Consulting Ltd for the Lyttelton Port Company was only classified confidential because of a section in the report that has no bearing upon the the science. All the other references were in the public domain, peer reviewed published articles in journals or available from the organisations named. If I had left out the fact that no work had been done on tsunami and seiching in rock walled inlets then possibly this wouldn't have been classified as original research.
It appears to me that there might be a difference in terminology here and how it is applied.
For the guidance of future students who will follow this path on this and subsequent courses could you please clarify how situations like this could be averted.
Thank you. Ngatimozart ( talk) 06:17, 2 April 2010 (UTC) Ngatimozart
Thanks. I probably have used synthesis in that I reached a conclusion from the data presented, which as scientists we are expected to do. I will take good note of this. Much appreciated. Ngatimozart ( talk) 00:09, 3 April 2010 (UTC)ngatimozart
I LIKE the new title. I was waaaaay too focused on having the words 'Rove Formation' be first; it didn't even occur to me to have those words later in the title!!
As you can no doubt tell, I haven't been working as consistently on the article as I could be. (I've been working on some new articles on my user page.)
Someone suggested there be more content to the lead. Do you agree? I've puzzled over how to add more relevant information. If you agree, should I be more descriptive in the second paragraph? (Right now that paragraph is more of a teaser.)
I need to make corrections from my last proofing, then recheck the categories and hyperlinks before going through a final proofing. Then, according to my list, I'm done.
With the new title my enthusiasm has been resparked; I'll work on those again.
Again, I appreciate your help and interest. Bettymnz4 ( talk) 03:32, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for uploading the new logo for us. We were wondering if it would be possible to use the SVG instead of the JPG? While we do not want people to download the logo for reuse, we realize that it is inevitable and we would prefer that it not be distorted when that happens. Also, there is a strange distortion that occurs in the JPG files in general. We haven't figured it out yet but you'll notice that the lines of text are not entirely clean in the JPG and look much nicer in the SVG. If you could please upload the SVG instead and use the SVG logo template, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hey I was trying to upload a picture for the Brooklyn Bridge Park webpage and you wrote that "Yes, site says images are copyrighted. Fair use does not apply here either." I work for the organization whose website it is and the photographer specifically told me I could post it on Wikipedia as long as she was credited.

for restoring the cropped version of the Scheyer pic. I think it is better in displaying the subject of the article, as it cuts out primarily some fans we don't need to see.

Hi, I have seen you highlighted copyright issues on images I have uploaded yesterday. I did my best, but I am quite new to Wikipedia, so I am sorry if I did not make things properly. However, I tried to improve picture usage, tag some as non-free fair use, substitute some other with product pictures already present on Wikimedia. I guess all pictures I decided not to use should be deleted, but I cannot do that, so can you take care of this?
If there is still something I can fix, please let me know, I am happy to learn.

Hello. You have tagged File:Joshua Sobol Ghetto 1989 lo res.jpg as needing an even lower resolution, having already been reduced from the 300 scan to 72 pixels per inch. Please point me to the criteria that specifies the required resolution. Many thanks, DionysosProteus ( talk) 16:30, 13 April 2010 (UTC)
With respect, I would rather follow a Wikipedia policy that the personal preferences of particular editors. 72 pixels per inches is a standard lo-res resolution, from what I can gather, the dimensions following from the size of the original object in the real world, so that seems to me to be the most appropriate, in lieu of specific guidance from the project stating otherwise. If you are aware of such criteria, please point me towards it. DionysosProteus ( talk) 18:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Hate to bother you, but there is a user I am slightly concerned about, the one who started the page Nitin Kumar Gupta. He uploaded this image, which is unsourced, and added it to the page James Cameron (inexplicably). I removed it from James Cameron, but now the image is floating around, and I'm not sure it deserves inclusion. As you may have guessed if you've seen my userpage, I am a little green at this stuff.

Thank you for your note regarding the lack of copyright tags on these images that I uploaded today. This rank newcomer to working with images would appreciate some help in rectifying that issue; as noted in the descriptions, I took the photos myself, and I'm claiming no copyright in them, but when I uploaded them the system offered me no opportunity to place a tag, and a quick glance at the only instructions I can find promises another tail-chasing exercise like what I went through a year or so back trying to determine what to do about a "needs wikification" tag somebody slapped without further comment on an article I'd written. (On that happy occasion, after a couple of hours of tracking through one Wikipedia "help" page after another, I learned that "to wikify" means "to wikify." Hip, hip, hooray.) Ultimately, I'd like to put the images into an article about the pre-WW II Netherlands military, but how to accomplish that is also eluding me, so any practical guidance you can offer would be most appreciated.

Regarding the deletion of Kidstart article, the reason i am placing this article is due to the amount of discussions on KidStart in reputable parenting forums such as Babyworld, Babycentre, Mumsnet, Netmums, Bounty and Emma's Diary. Also when i search in google with 'kidstart' there is a number of relevant links that show Kidstart (.co.uk) NOT the Canadian company as you have suggested. Perhaps this is a google country/regional difference ?? Please try the search again, via google.co.uk.

It's a baptism by fire, but I'm learning a lot, so I might as well enjoy it, eh? You Wiki editors and admins all do so much work, and you have to take so much flak for it. You're putting me through the paces, but the truth is, you've all been a big help. I'm sure you can't tell me the answer to this, but I wish I knew how to stop thinking of the article as mine, when I know, after I've published it on Wiki, it's not mine any more. What's that? Wiki Nest Syndrome? ;> Wmoran9550 ( talk) 05:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Great. I've contacted the owner of the pics and asked him to select one or more of the free licenses that Wiki will accept. I told him I could put the proper tags on the pics provided I had his written permission to do so. I know that's correct as a matter of agency law. I hope that also follows the Wiki rules.

On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

Hi. The article I wrote is definitely not an essay. It is a article based upon data acquired from original sources as well as secondary sources, one of which is confidential. All theses sources in the article are referenced as per International Scientific Journals protocols exactly to avoid plagiarism. It is an attempt to explain why the harbour responds in the way it does and is the subject of an ongoing long term research project. The reason i wrote it as it is was to explain the locality and then why and what happened. When we look at what has happened in the harbour we have to take into the cortex the very wide geographical area that does have an impact on it. The article was written as part of the assessment for a Masters of Science part 1 (equivalent to a honours year) Any suggestions you might have would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

There are some things I need to clarify here because the course I am doing requiring the writing of an article for Wikipedia is the first course in a New Zealand university to do this. It is a coastal science course so we tend to think as scientists.
The university learning centre is interested in our feed back and experiences because we are seen as a pilot course. OK with regard to the primary data issue in my article. Some of the data was taken from the Lyttelton Port Company website which streams the tide gauge and meteorological data in real time from its website. To a scientist that is primary source data, but then it is also in the public domain once it is streamed online, so one could argue that it is then a secondary source and verifiable. Also the Port company website has a library on it's website of previous data collected. With regard to the seiche data, that is available on the Mulgor Consulting Ltd website and therefore verifiable as well. Again it is in the public domain. The report written by Mulgor Consulting Ltd for the Lyttelton Port Company was only classified confidential because of a section in the report that has no bearing upon the the science. All the other references were in the public domain, peer reviewed published articles in journals or available from the organisations named. If I had left out the fact that no work had been done on tsunami and seiching in rock walled inlets then possibly this wouldn't have been classified as original research.
It appears to me that there might be a difference in terminology here and how it is applied.
For the guidance of future students who will follow this path on this and subsequent courses could you please clarify how situations like this could be averted.
Thank you. Ngatimozart ( talk) 06:17, 2 April 2010 (UTC) Ngatimozart

I LIKE the new title. I was waaaaay too focused on having the words 'Rove Formation' be first; it didn't even occur to me to have those words later in the title!!
As you can no doubt tell, I haven't been working as consistently on the article as I could be. (I've been working on some new articles on my user page.)
Someone suggested there be more content to the lead. Do you agree? I've puzzled over how to add more relevant information. If you agree, should I be more descriptive in the second paragraph? (Right now that paragraph is more of a teaser.)
I need to make corrections from my last proofing, then recheck the categories and hyperlinks before going through a final proofing. Then, according to my list, I'm done.
With the new title my enthusiasm has been resparked; I'll work on those again.
Again, I appreciate your help and interest. Bettymnz4 ( talk) 03:32, 3 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for uploading the new logo for us. We were wondering if it would be possible to use the SVG instead of the JPG? While we do not want people to download the logo for reuse, we realize that it is inevitable and we would prefer that it not be distorted when that happens. Also, there is a strange distortion that occurs in the JPG files in general. We haven't figured it out yet but you'll notice that the lines of text are not entirely clean in the JPG and look much nicer in the SVG. If you could please upload the SVG instead and use the SVG logo template, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, I have seen you highlighted copyright issues on images I have uploaded yesterday. I did my best, but I am quite new to Wikipedia, so I am sorry if I did not make things properly. However, I tried to improve picture usage, tag some as non-free fair use, substitute some other with product pictures already present on Wikimedia. I guess all pictures I decided not to use should be deleted, but I cannot do that, so can you take care of this?

Hello. You have tagged File:Joshua Sobol Ghetto 1989 lo res.jpg as needing an even lower resolution, having already been reduced from the 300 scan to 72 pixels per inch.

With respect, I would rather follow a Wikipedia policy that the personal preferences of particular editors. 72 pixels per inches is a standard lo-res resolution, from what I can gather, the dimensions following from the size of the original object in the real world, so that seems to me to be the most appropriate, in lieu of specific guidance from the project stating otherwise. If you are aware of such criteria, please point me towards it. DionysosProteus ( talk) 18:02, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your note regarding the lack of copyright tags on these images that I uploaded today. This rank newcomer to working with images would appreciate some help in rectifying that issue; as noted in the descriptions, I took the photos myself, and I'm claiming no copyright in them, but when I uploaded them the system offered me no opportunity to place a tag, and a quick glance at the only instructions I can find promises another tail-chasing exercise like what I went through a year or so back trying to determine what to do about a "needs wikification" tag somebody slapped without further comment on an article I'd written. (On that happy occasion, after a couple of hours of tracking through one Wikipedia "help" page after another, I learned that "to wikify" means "to wikify." Hip, hip, hooray.) Ultimately, I'd like to put the images into an article about the pre-WW II Netherlands military, but how to accomplish that is also eluding me, so any practical guidance you can offer would be most appreciated.

Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology, Thiruvananthapuram should be moved to Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology. However the proposed title already exists as a redirect. I would request you to delete the redirect page and move the article to the proposed page, since it is the correct name of the institute as per the website, see here. Thanks! -- JovianEye ( talk) 20:42, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

More specifically, thank you for your support. "Long overdue" is a nice compliment and I am thankful that you are appreciative of my work. Thanks!

Regarding the deletion of Kidstart article, the reason i am placing this article is due to the amount of discussions on KidStart in reputable parenting forums such as Babyworld, Babycentre, Mumsnet, Netmums, Bounty and Emma's Diary. Also when i search in google with 'kidstart' there is a number of relevant links that show Kidstart (.co.uk) NOT the Canadian company as you have suggested. Perhaps this is a google country/regional difference ?? Please try the search again, via google.co.uk.

I am happy to amend any of the text if you feel this would make the article more valid, and i appreciate your guidance in this matter.
thank you
I have made amendments as per your suggestions, please review and let me know if there is anything more I need to do/amend.

I found the source.

RE: All eight of them. Your instructions were followed and proof of permission of the copyright owner was sent to the email distro. I went back to the source on MySpace and asked them to explicitly agree to a Creative Commons license, but it is a toss up on whether that will happen since someone with zero interest in copyright law has now been asked the same question two different ways.
If you need a reference about this message, they are all over my talk page (which I saw no need to create).

Thank you for your copyright concerns with the referenced media file. I have put a fair use rationale on the media description page. If you feel the rationale provides an insufficient explanation, at least in Wikipedian terms, as to why the media is not replaceable, please let me know before taking any steps toward deletion.

Greetings Fetchcomms, I need your help on something. Some of the street that I have created are nominated for Deletion. What can I do to slow down and improve the article? ( Jordan S. Wilson ( talk) 20:37, 29 April 2010 (UTC))
Hey! I saw you added the page for Jahja Sultan, son of Mehmed III and brother of Ahmed I. What is your source and do you have any more information about him and his dynasty? I have been unable to discover anything more about him anywhere.

Thanks for tidying up the footnotes in the Alex Day article. They're much better. But now I have to figure out how to get the right license on the photos I used. It's a baptism by fire, but I'm learning a lot, so I might as well enjoy it, eh? You Wiki editors and admins all do so much work, and you have to take so much flak for it. You're putting me through the paces, but the truth is, you've all been a big help. I'm sure you can't tell me the answer to this, but I wish I knew how to stop thinking of the article as mine, when I know, after I've published it on Wiki, it's not mine any more. What's that? Wiki Nest Syndrome? ;> Wmoran9550 ( talk) 05:05, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Great. I've contacted the owner of the pics and asked him to select one or more of the free licenses that Wiki will accept. I told him I could put the proper tags on the pics provided I had his written permission to do so. I know that's correct as a matter of agency law. I hope that also follows the Wiki rules. Thanks for your help. Wmoran9550 ( talk) 20:12, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Got it. Sounds easy enough. Thanks again. Wmoran9550 ( talk) 05:20, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
![]() | On 1 May, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Florence of Worcester, which you recently nominated. If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
On behalf of my co-coordinator Wizardman, I'd like to especially thank you for your efforts over this past month's GAN backlog elimination drive. It has been nothing short of a complete success, which hopefully results in more expedient good article reviews, increasing users' confidence in the good article nomination processes. Even if you made just a small contribution, it still helped contribute to the success of this drive. Here is what we have accomplished this last month in this drive.
For those who have accomplished certain objectives in the drive, awards will be coming shortly. Again, thank you for your help in the drive, and I hope you continue to help review GA nominations and overall improve the quality of articles here on Wikipedia. |

..is this a well-referenced and NPOV article? It was created another time (not by me) but almost as an advertisement and was deleted (and we all know the mess about BLPs..). I have to add a few more sources and then I'd like to publish it. Can you give me your opinion? :) Cheers -- Jargon ๏̯͡๏) 23:01, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Otherwise, it seems fine about NPOV, and the referencing isn't too shabby either. • ɔ ʃ → 23:19, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
The RCA logos in this image are presently only about 150 x 150 px. If that is "high resolution" then I hate to think what low must look like. How small do they have to be? Jeh ( talk) 02:30, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
