Hi Jron, in response to your question, all the marble in the foyer comes from overseas. The gray/green marble in the collums is Italian (Chippolino?) the pink marble comes from Portugal, the white marble in the foyer floor is also Italian and the black Limestone on the floor with the geometric design is from Belgium.

Jjron, I noticed you recently made a lot of changes to Camel. On 3 September I added two images to the site and left a message on the talk page. Since I know nothing about camels, I was hoping someone would be able to do something with them. They are pictures of baby camels. I was hoping someone could look at them and see if there is something special or important in them. I was thinking the baby camels could be useful to a certain part of the article, maybe. But recently someone deleted the image gallery on the camel page, so I will provide the links to them. Image:Camels in Dubai 1.jpg and Image:Camels in Dubai 2.jpg. If this did not make sense, please go to the Camel discussion page and scroll down all the way to the bottom for the New Photos section. If you have any questions just leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Leitmanp 19:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Jjron, thank you very much. I saw the images and their locations, and I know that I could not have done as well as you did. I appreciate it. And as for the source of the images and the uploader: Imre Solt took the photos, not me; I (Leitmanp on Wikipedia English and LoverOfDubai on Wikimedia Commons) uploaded the images and asked for them to be added to the article. Once again, thank you!! -- Leitmanp 01:28, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Howdy - I did not delete the image, I only deleted a blank description page that existed on this project. Since the image is on commons, the page was not needed. As you noted, the image is still there. Unfortunately, the tool I use to delete images mistakenly commented out the image reference, which was my mistake.

Thanks Muhammad Mahdi Karim 17:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for the compliments.
As for the lack of images in wrestling articles, I'd say that most wrestling editors are simply fans and don't bring cameras to events. For the longest time, I didn't even think about using my photos in the articles.
There have been very few arguments over the number of images in articles. I know there was a discussion in the Randy Orton article over the number of them. My (unofficial) rule is that each picture should be unique and beneficial to a paticular section. I'd like to see an image of the wrestler in general (infobox), holding a title belt (for the championship section), a signature pose, and perhaps one or more highlighting various feuds.
However, it is generally agreed upon that an image, even of low quality, is better than no image at all, as long as it's free use.
Images are ordinary because that's all we got. Lighting is always an issue. It might be hard to get an image of a wrestler in motion due to the lighting, which is why most images are of them simply standing still.
I'll admit that I'm a bit protective of my images. If I see it replaced, I'm tempted to revert it. At the same time, overall quality is more important than personal opinion. One work around is to move the current infobox image down into the article, perhaps to highlight an era of his caree, and insert your image into the infobox. There's no harm in trying.
I'd imagine the issues with images taken at WWE events are the same as at other sporting events. And thus far, no one has minded. One day, they might, but until then, you just can't worry about it.
If you nominate a wrestling picture, of course you should let us know. We have big egos over there, as evident by our home page. If one gets through, we'll promote it like crazy.
Anyway, I hope that helps. Nice to talk to ya. Mshake3 18:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey do you think you can crop and replace the last image from Image:Triple H Entrance Sequence Melbourne 10.11.2007.jpg for the infobox image, since the original is not all that great. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I justed wanted to clear something up. Yes, I know that in the Leopard Tortoise candidate voting, I said Oppose with the reasoning "It looks like an average snapshot to me.", and that the user Tenio also opposed with pretty much the exact same reason. I want to let you know that Tenio is not a sockpuppet of mine, and here is some information on why I said "oppose".
User:Muhammad Mahdi Karim sent me a message after seeing my vote, asking me what I meant by "average shot". I wrote back with this:
"This is what i mean by an 'average shot'. I am a photographer, and I don't really find anything in the photo that would make it anything special from many others. The use of flash rid the turtle of any contrast and washed out the colors while created dark shadows under the shell. The composition is pretty average, all I can say about it is that you centered the turtle. It looks like you just relied on the auto settings on the camera and got lucky. All in all, it's a photo anyone could have taken."
It's also on his talk page. I don't have any personal grudge against Muhammed Mahdi Karim and Tenino's vote and reason is only coincidence.
Also on another note, I took bit of offense at your comment in the FPC when you said "It doesn't mean their votes don't count, just that they need to be treated with caution until they 'prove' themselves. -", because you are implying that my vote for some reason should carry less weight than an 'established' user's vote. I'm sorry if I haven't been editing wikipedia for too long, but I have been doing photography much longer than I have been contributing to wikipedia, and I have familiarized myself with the standards of wikipedia's Featured Pictures. I'm sure you and I can agree that is more than what can be said about some others who vote or try to contribute in the FPC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lipton sale ( talk • contribs) 04:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should
sign your posts by typing four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the
Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --

Ferrylodge ( talk) 16:25, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I saw your comments there and have a couple of questions.
I understand that established users have more credibility. But shouldn't the comment have stood or fallen on its merits? "Womans" is not a word, no matter whether the user who points it out is registered or noob. Not a matter of opinion, but fact. Check the dictionary. Incidentally, the archived not-promoted picture is still incorrect. It says "womens" without the needed apostrophe.
I looked at the FPC criteria as you suggested. They say an article should have a "good caption". Is a caption with a non-existent word a good caption? They don't say that grammar errors are not grounds for oppose, and this is more than a "grammar error", it's a non-existent word. Also, the vote didn't say "Oppose the picture as a FP". It said "Oppose caption". An alert that the caption needs to be changed regardless of the quality of the picture. Wouldn't it embarrass Wikipedia to make this a Featured Picture, or Picture of the Day, and have the world see that the "best" pictures of an "encyclopedia" have elementary language errors? 24.110.24.220 (currently at a different IP) 06:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Since I know nothing about camels, I was hoping someone would be able to do something with them. They are pictures of baby camels. I was hoping someone could look at them and see if there is something special or important in them. I was thinking the baby camels could be useful to a certain part of the article, maybe. But recently someone deleted the image gallery on the camel page, so I will provide the links to them. Image:Camels in Dubai 1.jpg and Image:Camels in Dubai 2.jpg. If this did not make sense, please go to the Camel discussion page and scroll down all the way to the bottom for the New Photos section. If you have any questions just leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Leitmanp 19:39, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Jjron, thank you very much. I saw the images and their locations, and I know that I could not have done as well as you did. I appreciate it. And as for the source of the images and the uploader: Imre Solt took the photos, not me; I (Leitmanp on Wikipedia English and LoverOfDubai on Wikimedia Commons) uploaded the images and asked for them to be added to the article. Once again, thank you!! -- Leitmanp 01:28, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sorry to disturb, but it seems I require your assistance once again. Please see the image . Do you think it can pass as fpc after a bit of noise reduction and tilt? Thanks Muhammad Mahdi Karim 16:40, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
There is a new extremely professional re-edit from my original RAW file by Richard Bartz, and I'd urge you to vote for this instead of my own imperfect Photoshop efforts. Thanks very much to Richard for the work he's put in. Please consider voting or amending your vote at: Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Projectile motion. -- MichaelMaggs 17:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Jiron. You really did a great job on the image!Thank you. About the nomination. I've decided to stay out of FP nominations and even FP votes for some time. At this moment I even cannot say for sure that I will ever come back to FP. Thank you again for working on the image. Best regards and many more great images.-- Mbz1 13:24, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Image:Barbed Wire, SC, Victoria, 15.9.2007.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Image:Barbed Wire, SC, Victoria, 15.9.2007.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Image:Barbed Wire, SC, Victoria, 15.9.2007.jpg, 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.

Howdy - I did not delete the image, I only deleted a blank description page that existed on this project. Since the image is on commons, the page was not needed. As you noted, the image is still there. Unfortunately, the tool I use to delete images mistakenly commented out the image reference, which was my mistake. For that, I apologize. -- Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 17:56, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Muhammad Mahdi Karim 17:26, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi, and thanks for the compliments.
As for the lack of images in wrestling articles, I'd say that most wrestling editors are simply fans and don't bring cameras to events. For the longest time, I didn't even think about using my photos in the articles.
There have been very few arguments over the number of images in articles. I know there was a discussion in the Randy Orton article over the number of them. My (unofficial) rule is that each picture should be unique and beneficial to a paticular section. I'd like to see an image of the wrestler in general (infobox), holding a title belt (for the championship section), a signature pose, and perhaps one or more highlighting various feuds.
However, it is generally agreed upon that an image, even of low quality, is better than no image at all, as long as it's free use.
Images are ordinary because that's all we got. Lighting is always an issue. It might be hard to get an image of a wrestler in motion due to the lighting, which is why most images are of them simply standing still.
I'll admit that I'm a bit protective of my images. If I see it replaced, I'm tempted to revert it. At the same time, overall quality is more important than personal opinion. One work around is to move the current infobox image down into the article, perhaps to highlight an era of his caree, and insert your image into the infobox. There's no harm in trying.
I'd imagine the issues with images taken at WWE events are the same as at other sporting events. And thus far, no one has minded. One day, they might, but until then, you just can't worry about it.
If you nominate a wrestling picture, of course you should let us know. We have big egos over there, as evident by our home page. If one gets through, we'll promote it like crazy.
Anyway, I hope that helps. Nice to talk to ya. Mshake3 18:04, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey do you think you can crop and replace the last image from Image:Triple H Entrance Sequence Melbourne 10.11.2007.jpg for the infobox image, since the original is not all that great. -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 03:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I justed wanted to clear something up. Yes, I know that in the Leopard Tortoise candidate voting, I said Oppose with the reasoning "It looks like an average snapshot to me.", and that the user Tenio also opposed with pretty much the exact same reason. I want to let you know that Tenio is not a sockpuppet of mine, and here is some information on why I said "oppose".
User:Muhammad Mahdi Karim sent me a message after seeing my vote, asking me what I meant by "average shot". I wrote back with this:
"This is what i mean by an 'average shot'. I am a photographer, and I don't really find anything in the photo that would make it anything special from many others. The use of flash rid the turtle of any contrast and washed out the colors while created dark shadows under the shell. The composition is pretty average, all I can say about it is that you centered the turtle. It looks like you just relied on the auto settings on the camera and got lucky. All in all, it's a photo anyone could have taken."
It's also on his talk page. I don't have any personal grudge against Muhammed Mahdi Karim and Tenino's vote and reason is only coincidence.
Also on another note, I took bit of offense at your comment in the FPC when you said "It doesn't mean their votes don't count, just that they need to be treated with caution until they 'prove' themselves. -", because you are implying that my vote for some reason should carry less weight than an 'established' user's vote. I'm sorry if I haven't been editing wikipedia for too long, but I have been doing photography much longer than I have been contributing to wikipedia, and I have familiarized myself with the standards of wikipedia's Featured Pictures. I'm sure you and I can agree that is more than what can be said about some others who vote or try to contribute in the FPC. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lipton sale ( talk • contribs) 04:37, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Jjron,
I like your edit of my photo—you can definitely see the details much better versus the original. I still would feel odd nominating the photo myself, but if you're willing to nominate it, that'd be great! Thank very much you for your help.

Martin made wrote a bit of code for me in my monobook.js so that I've now got a Top of Page link at the bottom of the side bar (very useful for long pages like FPC). Let me know if you want it too - note it only works in FF (not sure about IE 7 tho) --

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to
talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should
sign your posts by typing four
tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the
Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --

Hi, thanks for reviewing the featured picture nomination that I submitted. I never nominated a picture before. Could you please tell me whether the original NASA picture has enough pixels, and if so can it be uploaded to Wikipedia/Wikimedia without losing the pixels? The original NASA picture is here. Thanks. Ferrylodge ( talk) 16:25, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
I saw your comments there and have a couple of questions.
I understand that established users have more credibility. But shouldn't the comment have stood or fallen on its merits? "Womans" is not a word, no matter whether the user who points it out is registered or noob. Not a matter of opinion, but fact. Check the dictionary. Incidentally, the archived not-promoted picture is still incorrect. It says "womens" without the needed apostrophe.
I looked at the FPC criteria as you suggested. They say an article should have a "good caption". Is a caption with a non-existent word a good caption? They don't say that grammar errors are not grounds for oppose, and this is more than a "grammar error", it's a non-existent word. Also, the vote didn't say "Oppose the picture as a FP". It said "Oppose caption". An alert that the caption needs to be changed regardless of the quality of the picture. Wouldn't it embarrass Wikipedia to make this a Featured Picture, or Picture of the Day, and have the world see that the "best" pictures of an "encyclopedia" have elementary language errors? 24.110.24.220 (currently at a different IP) 06:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
