The change you made to the very first sentence in the intro of the Web standards article was OK, but the paragraph itself was not plagiarized. The site you found copied its lede from that of the Wikipedia article. I wrote this content myself in 2006, after discussion with another editor whose name I don't recall. We were both concerned about the article being abused for advocacy. I had wanted the article to emphasize the breadth of technical standards that fall under the description "web standards", and he wanted to make sure the Firefox-era "web standards movement" was adequately acknowledged. In fact there was a separate stub about it for a while, but I think it got deleted in favor of just someday adding more content to the web standards article. Also I was particularly concerned about the way the term "Web standards" had been hijacked a bit by advocates with somewhat naïve views of how these 'standards' came to exist, what effects they're intended to have, and what the standards bodies are & how they operate, so I try to make sure the article avoids things like what you tried to add, which could be viewed as advocacy. Feel free to discuss further on Talk:Web standards. — mjb ( talk) 06:31, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

In reference to this image contribution [1] (it was a long time ago), the panel is in black-and-white, and you say in the rationale that no better alternative could possibly exist.
But I know of a colored version of this image that you may or may not want to replace it with. Here's the link to it: click here
Was your image intended to be black-and-white to refer to as it appeared in newspapers? Do you want to replace it with a color version? Or do you even care?
Please contact me on my User Talk page. I'll remember the dot. -- CornfieldMannequin ( talk) 20:02, 8 January 2009 (UTC)
Alright, I got it uploaded. Take a look: click here.
Can you tell me if I shouldn't have done this? Do you like it?-- User:CornfieldMannequin ( talk) 19:45, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I am not "just starting out." I have been a designated User for a year.
Secondly, I see very little difference between the JPG and PNG format of the image. I suppose you uploaded your version because you saw a difference. Many images are under this format. JPG is easy to load, comes with many computers, and I use it all the time. With PNG I have to load up a custom image viewer to view them on my computer.
I put a Free-Use rationale on the image because I had edited the dialog (so it no longer began with "And," much like yours) and the panel was cropped from the original. I felt the obligation to file it like that because it wasn't a direct screenshot.
Anyway, if you want to convert it ( Click for original) go ahead. You seem like a very professional three-or-more-year editor.
(Oh, and I'm sorry that I orphaned your image (See Above).) Please help! And don't forget to contact me on my User talk page this time. You left your "constructive criticism" on your own page.
Sorry about any trouble. -- CornfieldMannequin ( talk) 23:06, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, what I really wanted was turning 2009 into 09 i.e. a right part of a string, but I guess I could do a check if the year is less than 10 and then pad also. Thanks! -- Stefan talk 03:39, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello. I am coming from the Manx wikipedia where we are having a little bit of a problem with the navboxes at the bottom of articles. We have been trying for quite a while now to enable the hide/show (collapse/expand) functions in the navigation boxes. I was wondering, if you had a chance, would it be possible to take a look at it or advise me about where I could find that information out. Your help would be very much appreciated. Kind regards, -- MacTire02 ( talk) 20:32, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I am trying to the a similar page of Wikipedia:Upload page to the one you have created for tr wikipedia. As you ca see from this page. It is almost finished but unfortunately I could not understand the working system of the pages like this one. I would like to learn how I can adapt the turkish ones to tr wiki? I tried to copy these pages but unfortunately they did not work. Could you please help me on this subject? If not, do you know who should I get in contact with? Thanks a lot for your answer upon the matter. -- Manco Capac ( talk) 14:52, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Dot. Since you are the one who added Category:All disambiguation pages to the {{ dmbox}}, and that has now come under discussion, I thought you would be interested. See the discussion over at Template talk:Dmbox#Category:All disambiguation pages.

A while back I uploaded the color-duplicate of your image and, as you pointed out, the image was flawed. I realize that it should have been a PNG format, and I do notice the offset pixels in my image. So I was wondering if you could try re-uploading the original color image yourself. Because when I right-click on the picture to save it on my computer, the only options I get for saving it is in a Bitmap file or in a GIF file. I heard GIFs lose some color information, and I figured Bitmaps were not much better.
Long story short, I want to delete my image and my image page, but I do not know how I could do that.
I was hoping that maybe you could tell me how, or you could do it, or you could replace it if you were up to it. Please send me some feedback. I'll be looking on this Talk Page for a response, like you mentioned awhile back. -- CornfieldMannequin ( talk) 22:06, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi. First of all thanks for the clue. The problem were the Turkish letters and after removing them the pages worked well. May I ask you another question for this pages? In the english version the licens tags of the selected type of the entry is filtered during the upload page opening process and only the related licens tags appear in the list box. Do you know how this system works? I would like to adapt this to tr wiki. Thanks for your kind answer. -- Manco Capac ( talk) 09:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Why are you making edits like this that replace a concise template with a boatload of parserfunctions? -- NE2 02:12, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
