Hi, you were wondering why DYK gets so long sometimes. I kind of outlined this at WT:DYK#Column balance on Main Page. Basically, at the screen resolution I was editing at when I did the update, it looked fine -- the columns were balanced. At a different resolution, the columns look off (I've noticed this difference between my work and home computers, for instance). Alternatively, ITN gets shortened and the left column ends up being too long (such as happened today in this edit, which happened after I added in an extra DYK tidbit to balance out the layout. I just wanted you to know so that you wouldn't think we DYK people were trying to put in more than our fair share. :) howcheng { chat} 06:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Note that on the bottom of the NASA webpage that you pulled this image from ( here) there is a link to the original authors ( here) at the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. The image is also credited to them (NASA/CXC), which means it is their work. Their image use policy ( here) clearly states "The images on this web site may be used for non-commercial educational and public information purposes", means it can't be used on the Commons. Thanks. -- Tom ( talk - email) 21:11, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey. Make sure you upload to the correct filename when updating DYK. You uploaded Image:Santa Lutgarda-Goya.jpg, but Image:Santa Lutgarda-Goya.JPG is the image that is actually being used. Be careful :) --- RockMFR 06:12, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JolsonStamp.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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. — Angr/ talk 20:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

On May 7th of this year, at 14:37, the user page User:Dr Spam (MD) was created. Within a period of 48 hours, User:Dr Spam (MD) had placed approximately 55 barnstars on user pages and user talk pages. Many recipients doubted the sincerity of the sentiments behind these barnstars, in part because of the comments placed by Dr Spam on the barnstars. A sampling of the reasons that Dr. Spam offered for presenting barnstars to editors:
Occasionally Dr. Spam's comments did appear sincere (if vague), but a review of the record indicates that sincere-appearing comments were generally generated during a massive cut-and-paste session. There were also many barnstars presented with no comments at all, and even more that User:Dr Spam (MD) presented without signing his name to indicate from whom the award was coming.
In response, once this pattern of apparent insincerity was established, a few experienced editors asked Dr. Spam to desist from barnstar spamming, in the belief that randomly awarding barnstars devalues the entire barnstar program. (Indeed, so random was the placement of barnstars, that some were even placed on wiki accounts that had not been active for over a year.) Dr. Spam has now stopped, presumably recognizing that his efforts were not appreciated by the majority of editors.
Most of the barnstars placed by Dr. Spam during his May campaign have been voluntarily removed by the editors on whose pages they were placed. You are receiving this notice because Dr. Spam's barnstar still remains on your page. If you feel that Dr. Spam's barnstar spamming was a form of mockery, you may choose to remove it yourself. But if the way this barnstar was "awarded" does not bother you, you are of course free to keep it on your page. After all, it is your page. This notification was simply for your information.

Just a note to say that you're not usually supposed to update the template with articles that you've written or nominated. In particular this article has significant technical glitches which I'm currently trying to fix. Regards, Espresso Addict 02:23, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi PFHlai, Thanks for the nomination and your support. I did some correction as suggested. However, the article still needs to be looked at for grammar and misspelling (English is not my mother tongue) from a third party if you want it to put it forward on DYK. Furthermore this Mabinlin protein pages need a picture (Mabinlin 2 via the protein databsed). Unfortunately, I've no possibility to do it myself. So if you know someone within the Biochem bubble who would be able to do it, I would be grateful. CU. S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sensonet ( talk • contribs) 10:52, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Wikipedia under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.
I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.
Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:
Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.
If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Perhaps you noticed that I accidentally nominated the same article you did Muslim Agricultural Revolution one day later. The author and I have been discussing it and thinks we should work on hooks together as he likes mine too and suggests it for at least an alternate hook. Of course the nomination is yours, but the correct day is October 21, going by his article history. This gives him one more day of eligibility too, not that he will need it. So how about it? We could move the article to the correct day and use both hooks like the author wants. We could work on other hooks too. How about it? Regards, -- Mattisse 22:13, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

The DYK next update had 3 expired noms. There are already about 20 noms expiring today. By placing expired noms (who do not qualify), we are rejecting those that do qualify.
To remedy that, I've replaced one expired hook with an unexpired one written by the same editor. Perhaps, we should have a few more hooks so that the editors of the December 22 hooks do not get cheated.
The biggest problem is that DYK does not get updated on time. Hard working hook editors are the losers. Actually, WP is the loser because people become discouraged if there good article and hook is not selected. Archtransit ( talk) 16:53, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent tagging of Calcite sea with the edit comment The current reference style is NOT consistent with the rest of Wikipedia is quite absurd. The article is far better referenced than 90+ percent of Wikipedia and Wikipedia referencing is totally inconsistent or absent. Harvard referencing, properly used, is perfectly acceptable. Please spend your time fixing real problems of referencing rather than slapping irrelevant tags on well referenced new articles. Vsmith ( talk) 15:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the 2004 anniversary of the Mars mission. Could this appear next year, which will be the 5th anniversary. The 4th is quite recent. In its place, I put a 1993 event, which will be the 15th anniversary of a tragic attack by a Pakistani madman who shot 5 people at the CIA, murdering two of them. This 15th anniversary will be a special and solemn day. Mrs.EasterBunny ( talk) 20:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
From T:DYK/N: My prose count was 1478 characters, which falls just short of the 1500-char requirement, which is the reason I originally removed it. I'll leave it to the discretion of whoever adds the hooks next whether or not being 98.5% of the way to 1500b is acceptable. Wizardman 22:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Since you're on a wikiholiday, I don't know if this is much use. But... You commented on monotonehell's previous proposal for ITN reform. Given recent events which have highlighted the continual problems with ITN, I've taken it, made a few modifications and I'm trying to bring it back. It's currently at User:Nil Einne/ITN reform and any comments or thoughts are appreciated. Also, although I put this on a subpage of my user page, I don't consider this my proposal and would appreciate any help in pushing this along particularly given it's a wide ranging proposal that is likely to take a very long time to get anywhere. I primarily put it there so I could work on it without creating confusion. Also, I thought it might be helpful to avoid a mad rush of people commenting so I'm just informing a few people at first Nil Einne ( talk) 08:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you were wondering why DYK gets so long sometimes. I kind of outlined this at WT:DYK#Column balance on Main Page. Basically, at the screen resolution I was editing at when I did the update, it looked fine -- the columns were balanced. At a different resolution, the columns look off (I've noticed this difference between my work and home computers, for instance). Alternatively, ITN gets shortened and the left column ends up being too long (such as happened today in this edit, which happened after I added in an extra DYK tidbit to balance out the layout. I just wanted you to know so that you wouldn't think we DYK people were trying to put in more than our fair share. :) howcheng { chat} 06:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The image is also credited to them (NASA/CXC), which means it is their work.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:JolsonStamp.gif. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
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. — Angr/ talk 20:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

On May 7th of this year, at 14:37, the user page User:Dr Spam (MD) was created. Within a period of 48 hours, User:Dr Spam (MD) had placed approximately 55 barnstars on user pages and user talk pages. Many recipients doubted the sincerity of the sentiments behind these barnstars, in part because of the comments placed by Dr Spam on the barnstars. A sampling of the reasons that Dr. Spam offered for presenting barnstars to editors:
Occasionally Dr. Spam's comments did appear sincere (if vague), but a review of the record indicates that sincere-appearing comments were generally generated during a massive cut-and-paste session. There were also many barnstars presented with no comments at all, and even more that User:Dr Spam (MD) presented without signing his name to indicate from whom the award was coming.
In response, once this pattern of apparent insincerity was established, a few experienced editors asked Dr. Spam to desist from barnstar spamming, in the belief that randomly awarding barnstars devalues the entire barnstar program. (Indeed, so random was the placement of barnstars, that some were even placed on wiki accounts that had not been active for over a year.) Dr. Spam has now stopped, presumably recognizing that his efforts were not appreciated by the majority of editors.
Most of the barnstars placed by Dr. Spam during his May campaign have been voluntarily removed by the editors on whose pages they were placed. You are receiving this notice because Dr. Spam's barnstar still remains on your page. If you feel that Dr. Spam's barnstar spamming was a form of mockery, you may choose to remove it yourself. But if the way this barnstar was "awarded" does not bother you, you are of course free to keep it on your page. After all, it is your page. This notification was simply for your information.

Hi PFHlai, Thanks for the nomination and your support. I did some correction as suggested. However, the article still needs to be looked at for grammar and misspelling (English is not my mother tongue) from a third party if you want it to put it forward on DYK. Furthermore this Mabinlin protein pages need a picture (Mabinlin 2 via the protein databsed). Unfortunately, I've no possibility to do it myself. So if you know someone within the Biochem bubble who would be able to do it, I would be grateful. CU. S. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sensonet ( talk • contribs) 10:52, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Wikipedia under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.
I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.
Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:
Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.
If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Perhaps you noticed that I accidentally nominated the same article you did Muslim Agricultural Revolution one day later. The author and I have been discussing it and thinks we should work on hooks together as he likes mine too and suggests it for at least an alternate hook. Of course the nomination is yours, but the correct day is October 21, going by his article history. This gives him one more day of eligibility too, not that he will need it. So how about it? We could move the article to the correct day and use both hooks like the author wants. We could work on other hooks too. How about it? Regards, -- Mattisse 22:13, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for nominating the article I started about St Mary's Church, Eastham for DYK. Sadly, both hooks have proved to be based on unreliable evidence. I have amended the article and withdrawn the nomination. But many thanks to you all the same! Peter I. Vardy ( talk) 14:25, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well... I'm notifying myself about my own DYK nom again. Sigh... My streak of 25 consecutive days of having at least 1 nom on MainPage had to end on Christmas Day. Oh, well... :-( Time to start a new streak, I guess... -- PFHLai ( talk) 01:55, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

Here I am, notifying myself about my own noms again.... Oh, well.... -- PFHLai ( talk) 00:31, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
The DYK next update had 3 expired noms. There are already about 20 noms expiring today. By placing expired noms (who do not qualify), we are rejecting those that do qualify.
To remedy that, I've replaced one expired hook with an unexpired one written by the same editor. Perhaps, we should have a few more hooks so that the editors of the December 22 hooks do not get cheated.
The biggest problem is that DYK does not get updated on time. Hard working hook editors are the losers. Actually, WP is the loser because people become discouraged if there good article and hook is not selected. Archtransit ( talk) 16:53, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent tagging of Calcite sea with the edit comment The current reference style is NOT consistent with the rest of Wikipedia is quite absurd. The article is far better referenced than 90+ percent of Wikipedia and Wikipedia referencing is totally inconsistent or absent. Harvard referencing, properly used, is perfectly acceptable. Please spend your time fixing real problems of referencing rather than slapping irrelevant tags on well referenced new articles. Vsmith ( talk) 15:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

I have removed the 2004 anniversary of the Mars mission. Could this appear next year, which will be the 5th anniversary. The 4th is quite recent. In its place, I put a 1993 event, which will be the 15th anniversary of a tragic attack by a Pakistani madman who shot 5 people at the CIA, murdering two of them. This 15th anniversary will be a special and solemn day. Mrs.EasterBunny ( talk) 20:12, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
From T:DYK/N: My prose count was 1478 characters, which falls just short of the 1500-char requirement, which is the reason I originally removed it. I'll leave it to the discretion of whoever adds the hooks next whether or not being 98.5% of the way to 1500b is acceptable. Wizardman 22:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Since you're on a wikiholiday, I don't know if this is much use. But... You commented on monotonehell's previous proposal for ITN reform. Given recent events which have highlighted the continual problems with ITN, I've taken it, made a few modifications and I'm trying to bring it back. It's currently at User:Nil Einne/ITN reform and any comments or thoughts are appreciated. Also, although I put this on a subpage of my user page, I don't consider this my proposal and would appreciate any help in pushing this along particularly given it's a wide ranging proposal that is likely to take a very long time to get anywhere. I primarily put it there so I could work on it without creating confusion. Also, I thought it might be helpful to avoid a mad rush of people commenting so I'm just informing a few people at first Nil Einne ( talk) 08:40, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
