Hello Zscout, can you please make a SVG flag based on the Azerbaijan Air Forces flag? See here. We need one of higher quality. Please let me know if you can do it. Neftchi ( talk) 21:17, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
I noticed that the page on Singapore is still protected even though you said that unprotection would come early September ( see here). Has the "edit war" (as claimed in the protection log) died down, and if so, when are you going to unprotect it? FRE YWA 06:04, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Hey Zscout, Just wanted to drop by and see how's it going. Dont know if you watching my back but things have been pretty eventfull (scroll down) over the past few weeks/days; but i've been laying low for a while and ive been creating some articles and doing some copyediting etc. Hows it going with you?
PS: I may be wrong , but ive noticed you dont seem to be as active as much as you used to be; how come? (if you dont mind me asking) Goldblooded Return Fire 22:36, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

FYI, Singapore coat of arms is being reviewed at GAN and the review, which you can find here, has been put on hold. Malleus Fatuorum 14:59, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi Zscout370, I notice that you have been active on the
Libya article and have introduced and applied auto-confirmed user protection to the article. I have been editing there today and have encountered some quite spirited reversions and some lively abuse for performing edits there. I am not very impressed, in particular by the actions of one rather bombastic and belligerant individual. I have looked over some of his other contributions and I can see something of a pattern in his behaviour.
I have left an edit note on my last significant edit in that article:
I doubt it will have much effect as he seems inclined toward WP:GAME behaviour and will no doubt see anything contained within x as a challenge to hurl some more nonsense around and to block revert again. As you appear to have administrator status here perhaps you could keep an eye on the article for a while as I anticipate my recent edits to that article will be reverted by this editor within a quite narrow time frame. Thanks,-- Felix ( talk) 17:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
If it is of any interest my viewpoint on the use of the Seal of the National Transitional Council is that it should most certainly not appear in the Libya {{about|the country}} pane. Rather it should be presented somewhere suitably prominent in the article body in the normal px size. Somewhere in the 2011 revolution and interim government section appears appropriate. In National Transitional Council it should appear in the infobox as is. It does not appear in 2011 Libyan civil war at this time. It is not a seal, crest or coat of arms that has been executed under a constitution of Libya, even a provisional one as they do not yet have one, but they have stated clearly that they are undertaking the 'drafting' of one www.ntclibya.org/english/libya/
It is sometimes described as a "Constitution Declaration for governing during the transitional period". A constitution, a draft constitution and a "Constitution Declaration for governing" are quite different things. I am unsure of your views on all this but that roughly outlines my own assessment of it.-- Felix ( talk) 09:23, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi again, Kudzu1 ( talk), is block reverting my edits again. This is now 5 block reverts of active article editing in 24hrs. I have detailed the edit and my rational for the content on the talk page in response to Kudzu1. He seems to have personal issues concerning the recognition of the NTC and claims it is widely recognised as the government of Libya. I believe this may have been at the core of his complaints yesterday. I have asked him to cite or provide some sources to support his assertions that the NTC is the Govt of Libya but he has not done so. His current issue appears to have been clarified, it is that I am seeking " to cast aspersions on the widespread recognition of the NTC as Libya's legitimate government by the international community". I think he is trying to control the article, I can speculate a few reasons that may be driving this but I think the main issue here is that he is taking possession of the article, he is replacing correctly sourced and cited material with that that is incorrect and un cited, or just removing it. He did start editing rationally for a while yesterday and made a few quite normal and reasonable adjustments to the article. He has described himself as "an active member of WikiProject Libya and stated "I've been editing Wikipedia articles since 2005" and commented on my not being a regular editor on the article. Frankly I think he has ownership issues and article control issues, I have challenged him on this and he has denied it illustrating this by letting me know that significant changes had been made to the article "with no objection from me". He appear to be baiting, building strawmen and to be 'gaming' as described in WP:GAME. Judging by the way he started deriding me at the outset I assume he is baiting me with intent, regrettably he has been successful at doing that and managed to suck up hours of otherwise productive edit time. There is a long exchange at Talk:Libya-Federal Republic?. I have tried to disengage and just spell out the facts with him as it does not seem very productive, he is not responsive to request for supporting information to back his assertions. I have tried to find some sort of closure with him but is is not successful. I think he is trying to keep me busy so I do not change the article in a way that he does not sanction. I think he is just a pest, however his aim to prevent me editing that article is quite apparent. Frankly my opinion is that he is trying to lead me to an edit war so that he can claim 3RR breach, yet interestingly he has already performed 5 block reverts himself whilst I have been actively editing. Maybe you have some administrator skills to deal with this. -- Felix ( talk) 15:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I may not not remember it rightly, but I remember that: road signs, marks, symbols of quality, state decorations, medals, badges, emblems of cities or administrative units, official symbols, international marking, flags, state logos of the national organizations and international institutions are not subjects copyrighting law. Correct me if I'm wrong. So if Amnesty International is international organisation then its logo is not subject of copyrighting law? Boniek1988 ( talk) 23:54, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

I am with the Canadian HIV/AIDS Legal Network, and our page was deleted by you due to 'copyright infringement'. However, the text was copied directly from our website, indicating our mission, vision and values. We own all rights to our website, have made the information available to the public for anybody to copy, and would like our wikipedia page to be back up. Can you please get back to me about this?

Hi there. I see that you've done a fair bit on flags through the times, and wondered if you'd be able to help me out. I'm doing a bit of work on Flag of the Isle of Man (working in my sandbox) and wondered if you'd be able to create a construction sheet for the flag for me? It's a little (a lot) out of my comfort zone, and you seem to have good experience in the area. Any help with that, or advice for the rest of the article would be much appreciated.

Hi! Per Category_talk:Unclassified_Chemical_Structures#All_PNGs_Moved we are about to nominate more than 1.100 files for deletion (all the files in Category:Unclassified Chemical Structures).

In regards to Fantasy666, who Dave raised on your talkpage awhile ago, I was wondering what the correct course of action for dealing with the 30kb of CPUSH stuff they flooding the singapore page with (and that doesn't include the things they removed).

I noticed that in September, you restored the Marc Ecko page after it was deleted on claims that it was biased. I've since tried to clean up the article, yet User:Fastily deleted it again.

Seems you got "used" again, however Sock puppeteer User:GarnetAndBlack / User:129.252.69.40 ( stalker/ troll/ warrior) is back to reverting logos again on South Carolina athletics and tearing down on rival pages, the usual article WP:DE. I have been busy with family / funeral issues, but when I re-opened my account, saw the same behavior as last year-- can't deal with this guy anymore. I think last spring after Hammersoft's harassment, you blocked the mere IP for 6 months. Think it's time to put the "final nail" in the Sock master's User account this time. I filed a lengthy SPI, however the Arbitrators haven't had time to review it thoroughly yet. Think user is currently reverting items to trying and cover it up.

Concerning these logos user seems obsessed with (sly vandalism), I researched this: The wordmarks at that particular school are for academics, have more restrictions. There is no alternative for athletics. I called the number on the website. Man in charge of the logos was named "Tim Match." Left the results neatly for you on the page talks with the phone number.

Dear Zscout370,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,

Thanks for uploading File:Chernenko 1984.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 04:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Good Morning, Sir (Western Indonesian Time)
Before, I'm sorry to all my topic. But this is regarding my good name in wikipedia and in the Wikimedia Commons. Previously I also apologize to you, because it removes the sign removed, but the logo that I uploaded is correct. Because the logo is used by companies that exist in my country (Indonesia). So, I beg you. If there is an error in making the permit was published, I have changed. rather than opposite. Want to remove the logo on Wikimedia. I hope the future, this incident does not happen again. One more thing, why did I make any re-licensing. Why do I have to be blocked? I do not at fault. Please understandable if my English is wrong.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Rudnitsky-normand-pioneer.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Requesting Restoration of David R. Hawkins: I ran across this fellow and noticed his page was deleted on a PROD a couple of years ago but prior to that you had over-trurned your own deletion on this one. This doctor, author and lecturer is clearly known, even the most-brain dead of the over-zealous admins should be able to see that this guy is notable. He is anAmerican but even the German wiki has a decent sized article on him: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_R._Hawkins Iconoclast.Horizon ( talk) 05:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I have better things to write about than Hawkins. He may be notable enough for an article, I really don't know, but a lot of the things you put on my page don't help with WP:NOTE, from his mail order PhD to the " Physicians Recognition Award" which isn't a big deal at all. I don't know why you don't want to put the time in to find out what might meet our criteria and use that in your userpace, but if you don't, I can't see why you'd expect me to. Dougweller ( talk) 20:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Doug, I don't intend to make this a big issue, I do feel that there is some bias here on the part of the admins in the notes that I could find, arguing 'psuedo-science', but I bothered to look into this guy once he came into my awareness and it is very easy to see that he is not even in the "minor leagues" he has actually made in impact in multiple areas. And you keep berating his "mail-order PhD", yet the guy has his MD and is an American Medical Association (life time member along with 35+ other MEDICAL memberships not to mention his over a dozen books in multiple languages and lectures around the world.

Hi Zach: It's me Eric_Soong from nationalanthems.us. Recently I was working on rendering Manchu script into SVG for the infobox of Manchukuo as it could not display properly without the font Mongolian Baiti. I was about to create a category in Wikimedia Commons, but unfortunately I mis-clicked the wrong tab in my browser. I was wondering that if you could kindly help me to delete it if possible. I have also nominated that page for speedy deletion and I'll thank you in advance.

ZScout, I see that you once restored this article after you yourself deleted it. It was recently stripped of content and sent to AfD and subsequently deleted. I was curious as to what is the proper forum to discuss this author/lecturer as notable beyond this point, as I seem to have overstated the notability position to the point the page is protected. I am not a fan of the author or his works but I do believe notability was shown with reliable independent source, and that people should be made aware of his works for better or for worse. I would at least like to discuss the issue in the proper forum.
If you could point me in the right direction I would much appreciate that. Thanx Iconoclast.Horizon ( talk) 00:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:37, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.-- Dom497 ( talk) 15:26, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Zach, I believe the Paypal solicitation on your userpage is inappropriate and should be removed permanently. In looking at its history, I see that it's been removed more than once by other editors and then restored by you. I also found an old discussion about it at WP:EAR (a strange forum to discuss it), including User:Nuclear Warfare's apparent agreement with you that there's nothing wrong with it. I respectfully disagree with you and NW on this issue. Although I have been unable to find any specific policy prohibiting it, nonetheless, I think most admins would agree with me that no editor should be permitted to solicit money on Wikipedia, but particularly not an admin.
Please let me know your thoughts and whether you're willing to remove it. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:20, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

I think what is there can be salvaged and expanded. Oddly enough the list of brothers and list of chapters are in better shape. The history that was pulled for Copyvio can be rewritten, I think. This includes why Alpha Tau Omega was chosen, which I definitely think belongs in the article (I'd say that for any GLO that has that information as public). BTW, I'd like to find referencable information as to when ATO became open to Jews and/or Negros, but I don't think that information belongs in the article at this length (undue weight), but when it gets ready for FA at the length of Alpha Phi Alpha article. I think Baird's and the Palm may be useful references, though the Palm would be viewed as Primary. Naraht ( talk) 17:38, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013! Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year. Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, with the help of many dedicated Wikipedians! |

Thanks for uploading File:Kloof High School Insignia.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 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. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:10, 14 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

Hello! A
GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days! In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00. At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge. |
Hello! Just a friendly reminder that the
GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on December 31, 2013! If you know anyone outside of the WikiProject that may be interested, feel free to invite them to the drive! |

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!
TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.
As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges.

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello! For some time now I've been working with wikidata, adding Latin-script versions of names for towns, villages and train stations in Belarus. The first step was to import romanized names in 2007 version from be/be-old Wikipedias, then I transformed them into current system, used by wikipedia, and now im adding them to Wikidata. Good example is Vialikaje Sialo (Q20466539). You can see English label and Property:P5412. I decided to add the list of my edits to the project, it might be used somewhere else. Wikipedia:WikiProject Belarus/Villages and stations. 23k edits will be ready (probably) by tomorrow. Would be nice if someone else will track and check it, because sometimes it looks weird (especially when its Ь). 2007-version is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Belarus/Villages_and_stations/2017, the plan is to add it as aliases to wikidata, but for now, my computer is way to slow. -- Andrei ( talk) 05:53, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Thanks for uploading File:Coat of arms of Canada.svg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi, In History of that file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roundel_of_Japan.svg You wrote that the "white border is 1/15th" of the whole roundel. As I understand it, when the whole roundel (with white border) has a diameter 15 mm, then the white border width should be 1 mm, right? So that means the red circle should have a diameter 13 mm, right? I've downloaded this SVG file, I've opened it in InkScape and the red circle has 12,750 mm in diameter not 13 mm. 88.156.87.29 ( talk) 00:27, 2 February 2024 (UTC)

Hey Zscout, Just wanted to drop by and see how's it going. Dont know if you watching my back but things have been pretty eventfull (scroll down) over the past few weeks/days; but i've been laying low for a while and ive been creating some articles and doing some copyediting etc. Hows it going with you?

Hi Zscout370, I notice that you have been active on the
Libya article and have introduced and applied auto-confirmed user protection to the article. I have been editing there today and have encountered some quite spirited reversions and some lively abuse for performing edits there. I am not very impressed, in particular by the actions of one rather bombastic and belligerant individual. I have looked over some of his other contributions and I can see something of a pattern in his behaviour.
I have left an edit note on my last significant edit in that article:
I doubt it will have much effect as he seems inclined toward WP:GAME behaviour and will no doubt see anything contained within x as a challenge to hurl some more nonsense around and to block revert again. As you appear to have administrator status here perhaps you could keep an eye on the article for a while as I anticipate my recent edits to that article will be reverted by this editor within a quite narrow time frame. Thanks,-- Felix ( talk) 17:06, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
If it is of any interest my viewpoint on the use of the Seal of the National Transitional Council is that it should most certainly not appear in the Libya {{about|the country}} pane. Rather it should be presented somewhere suitably prominent in the article body in the normal px size. Somewhere in the 2011 revolution and interim government section appears appropriate. In National Transitional Council it should appear in the infobox as is. It does not appear in 2011 Libyan civil war at this time. It is not a seal, crest or coat of arms that has been executed under a constitution of Libya, even a provisional one as they do not yet have one, but they have stated clearly that they are undertaking the 'drafting' of one www.ntclibya.org/english/libya/
It is sometimes described as a "Constitution Declaration for governing during the transitional period". A constitution, a draft constitution and a "Constitution Declaration for governing" are quite different things. I am unsure of your views on all this but that roughly outlines my own assessment of it.-- Felix ( talk) 09:23, 24 October 2011 (UTC)
Hi again, Kudzu1 ( talk), is block reverting my edits again. This is now 5 block reverts of active article editing in 24hrs. I have detailed the edit and my rational for the content on the talk page in response to Kudzu1. He seems to have personal issues concerning the recognition of the NTC and claims it is widely recognised as the government of Libya. I believe this may have been at the core of his complaints yesterday. I have asked him to cite or provide some sources to support his assertions that the NTC is the Govt of Libya but he has not done so. His current issue appears to have been clarified, it is that I am seeking " to cast aspersions on the widespread recognition of the NTC as Libya's legitimate government by the international community". I think he is trying to control the article, I can speculate a few reasons that may be driving this but I think the main issue here is that he is taking possession of the article, he is replacing correctly sourced and cited material with that that is incorrect and un cited, or just removing it. He did start editing rationally for a while yesterday and made a few quite normal and reasonable adjustments to the article. He has described himself as "an active member of WikiProject Libya and stated "I've been editing Wikipedia articles since 2005" and commented on my not being a regular editor on the article. Frankly I think he has ownership issues and article control issues, I have challenged him on this and he has denied it illustrating this by letting me know that significant changes had been made to the article "with no objection from me". He appear to be baiting, building strawmen and to be 'gaming' as described in WP:GAME. Judging by the way he started deriding me at the outset I assume he is baiting me with intent, regrettably he has been successful at doing that and managed to suck up hours of otherwise productive edit time. There is a long exchange at Talk:Libya-Federal Republic?. I have tried to disengage and just spell out the facts with him as it does not seem very productive, he is not responsive to request for supporting information to back his assertions. I have tried to find some sort of closure with him but is is not successful. I think he is trying to keep me busy so I do not change the article in a way that he does not sanction. I think he is just a pest, however his aim to prevent me editing that article is quite apparent. Frankly my opinion is that he is trying to lead me to an edit war so that he can claim 3RR breach, yet interestingly he has already performed 5 block reverts himself whilst I have been actively editing. Maybe you have some administrator skills to deal with this. -- Felix ( talk) 15:21, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

I may not not remember it rightly, but I remember that: road signs, marks, symbols of quality, state decorations, medals, badges, emblems of cities or administrative units, official symbols, international marking, flags, state logos of the national organizations and international institutions are not subjects copyrighting law. Correct me if I'm wrong. So if Amnesty International is international organisation then its logo is not subject of copyrighting law? Boniek1988 ( talk) 23:54, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi there. I see that you've done a fair bit on flags through the times, and wondered if you'd be able to help me out. I'm doing a bit of work on Flag of the Isle of Man (working in my sandbox) and wondered if you'd be able to create a construction sheet for the flag for me? It's a little (a lot) out of my comfort zone, and you seem to have good experience in the area. Any help with that, or advice for the rest of the article would be much appreciated.

Hi! Per Category_talk:Unclassified_Chemical_Structures#All_PNGs_Moved we are about to nominate more than 1.100 files for deletion (all the files in Category:Unclassified Chemical Structures).

In regards to Fantasy666, who Dave raised on your talkpage awhile ago, I was wondering what the correct course of action for dealing with the 30kb of CPUSH stuff they flooding the singapore page with (and that doesn't include the things they removed).

Seems you got "used" again, however Sock puppeteer User:GarnetAndBlack / User:129.252.69.40 ( stalker/ troll/ warrior) is back to reverting logos again on South Carolina athletics and tearing down on rival pages, the usual article WP:DE. I have been busy with family / funeral issues, but when I re-opened my account, saw the same behavior as last year-- can't deal with this guy anymore. I think last spring after Hammersoft's harassment, you blocked the mere IP for 6 months. Think it's time to put the "final nail" in the Sock master's User account this time. I filed a lengthy SPI, however the Arbitrators haven't had time to review it thoroughly yet. Think user is currently reverting items to trying and cover it up.

Dear Zscout370,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of the Kursk submarine dead is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of the Kursk submarine dead until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Robofish ( talk) 00:13, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Chernenko 1984.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude ( talk) 04:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)

Previously I also apologize to you, because it removes the sign removed, but the logo that I uploaded is correct. Because the logo is used by companies that exist in my country (Indonesia). So, I beg you. If there is an error in making the permit was published, I have changed. rather than opposite. Want to remove the logo on Wikimedia. I hope the future, this incident does not happen again. One more thing, why did I make any re-licensing. Why do I have to be blocked? I do not at fault. Please understandable if my English is wrong.
Yours sincerely,

I am the reviewer at Talk:Coat of arms of Singapore/GA3 and the article is now on hold.-- TonyTheTiger ( T/ C/ BIO/ WP:CHICAGO/ WP:FOUR) 14:45, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Thanks, I did pull the vector of the coat of arms from our style guide and was planning to do the same with the flag and other symbols when I actually got around to editing the article. I really appreciate the offer and the support on the KKPsi FAC and will let you know if I could use some help with the vectors! Fraternally, Sycamore ( talk) 02:27, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, I got a file deletion note from you since the image is now available on Commons. For future reference, you don't need to open a formal deletion discussion in such cases. Just put {{ nowcommons}} on the Wikipedia file page and the page will be speedily deleted. Regards, De728631 ( talk) 18:15, 25 June 2012 (UTC)
I can't believe you have deleted all the pictures I have uploaded. I had to spend lot of time to gather and prepare them (labeling, resizing, converting format, etc) for uploading into the page. At least you could have informed me before deleting them so that I can put the source as well as other things. Teferi Kebebew ( talk) 15:45, 4 July 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Rudnitsky-normand-pioneer.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG ( talk) 10:01, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
Requesting Restoration of David R. Hawkins: I ran across this fellow and noticed his page was deleted on a PROD a couple of years ago but prior to that you had over-trurned your own deletion on this one. This doctor, author and lecturer is clearly known, even the most-brain dead of the over-zealous admins should be able to see that this guy is notable. He is anAmerican but even the German wiki has a decent sized article on him: http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_R._Hawkins Iconoclast.Horizon ( talk) 05:17, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
I have better things to write about than Hawkins. He may be notable enough for an article, I really don't know, but a lot of the things you put on my page don't help with WP:NOTE, from his mail order PhD to the " Physicians Recognition Award" which isn't a big deal at all. I don't know why you don't want to put the time in to find out what might meet our criteria and use that in your userpace, but if you don't, I can't see why you'd expect me to. Dougweller ( talk) 20:27, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Doug, I don't intend to make this a big issue, I do feel that there is some bias here on the part of the admins in the notes that I could find, arguing 'psuedo-science', but I bothered to look into this guy once he came into my awareness and it is very easy to see that he is not even in the "minor leagues" he has actually made in impact in multiple areas. And you keep berating his "mail-order PhD", yet the guy has his MD and is an American Medical Association (life time member along with 35+ other MEDICAL memberships not to mention his over a dozen books in multiple languages and lectures around the world. Seriously this is just skewed and overly obtuse on your part, to argue points like Columbia as his school and "Physicians Recognition", when the man has been on national TV and Founded the first zen center in the US. Asinine! Iconoclast.Horizon ( talk) 21:09, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi Zach: It's me Eric_Soong from nationalanthems.us. Recently I was working on rendering Manchu script into SVG for the infobox of Manchukuo as it could not display properly without the font Mongolian Baiti. I was about to create a category in Wikimedia Commons, but unfortunately I mis-clicked the wrong tab in my browser. I was wondering that if you could kindly help me to delete it if possible. I have also nominated that page for speedy deletion and I'll thank you in advance.

ZScout, I see that you once restored this article after you yourself deleted it. It was recently stripped of content and sent to AfD and subsequently deleted. I was curious as to what is the proper forum to discuss this author/lecturer as notable beyond this point, as I seem to have overstated the notability position to the point the page is protected. I am not a fan of the author or his works but I do believe notability was shown with reliable independent source, and that people should be made aware of his works for better or for worse. I would at least like to discuss the issue in the proper forum.
If you could point me in the right direction I would much appreciate that. Thanx Iconoclast.Horizon ( talk) 00:02, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello. There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

Hello, you are receiving this message because you are currently a participant of WikiProject Good articles. Since the creation of the WikiProject, over 200 user's have joined to help review good article nominations and contribute to other sections of the WikiProject. Over the years, several of these users have stopped reviewing articles and/or have become inactive with the project but are still listed as participates. In order to improve communications with other participants and get newsletters sent out faster (newsletters will begin to be sent out monthly starting in October) all participants that are no longer active with the WikiProject will be removed from the participants list.
If you are still interested in being a participant for this WikiProject, please sign your user name here and please help review some articles so we can reduce the size of the backlog. If you are no longer interested, you do not need to sign your name anywhere and your name will be removed from the participants list after the deadline. Remember that even if you are not interested at this time, you can always re-add your name to the list whenever you want. The deadline to sign your name on the page above will be November 1, 2012. Thank-you. 13:37, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Sorry for having to send out a second message but a user has brought to my attention that a point mentioned in the first message should be clarified. If user's don't sign on this page, they will be moved to an "Inactive Participants" list rather then be being removed from the entire WikiProject. Sorry for any confusion.-- Dom497 ( talk) 15:26, 22 September 2012 (UTC)
Zach, I believe the Paypal solicitation on your userpage is inappropriate and should be removed permanently. In looking at its history, I see that it's been removed more than once by other editors and then restored by you. I also found an old discussion about it at WP:EAR (a strange forum to discuss it), including User:Nuclear Warfare's apparent agreement with you that there's nothing wrong with it. I respectfully disagree with you and NW on this issue. Although I have been unable to find any specific policy prohibiting it, nonetheless, I think most admins would agree with me that no editor should be permitted to solicit money on Wikipedia, but particularly not an admin.
Please let me know your thoughts and whether you're willing to remove it. Thanks.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 16:20, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

I think what is there can be salvaged and expanded. Oddly enough the list of brothers and list of chapters are in better shape. The history that was pulled for Copyvio can be rewritten, I think. This includes why Alpha Tau Omega was chosen, which I definitely think belongs in the article (I'd say that for any GLO that has that information as public). BTW, I'd like to find referencable information as to when ATO became open to Jews and/or Negros, but I don't think that information belongs in the article at this length (undue weight), but when it gets ready for FA at the length of Alpha Phi Alpha article. I think Baird's and the Palm may be useful references, though the Palm would be viewed as Primary. Naraht ( talk) 17:38, 27 November 2012 (UTC)

Best wishes for the New Year! | ||
Wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013! Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year. Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, with the help of many dedicated Wikipedians! |

Thanks for uploading File:Kloof High School Insignia.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 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.

Hello! Now, some of you might be wondering why there is a Good article icon with a bunch of stars around (to the right). The answer? WikiProject Good articles will be launching a Recruitment Centre very soon! The centre will allow all users to be taught how to review Good article nominations by experts just like you! However, in order for the Recruitment Centre to open in the first place, we need some volunteers:
If you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact me. I look forward to seeing this program bring new reviewers to the Good article community and all the positive things it will bring along.

Hello! A
GAN Backlog Drive will begin in less than 4 days! In past Backlog Drives, the goal was to reduce the backlog of Good article nominations. In the upcoming drive, another goal will be added - raising as much money as we can for the Wikimedia Foundation. How will this work? Well, its pretty simple. Any user interested in donating can submit a pledge at the Backlog Drive page (linked above). The pledge should mention the amount of money the user is willing to donate per review. For example, if a user pledges 5 cents per review and 100 nominations are reviewed, the total donation amount is $5.00. At the time this message was sent out, two users have submitted pledges for a total of 8 cents per review. All pledges, no matter how much money, are greatly appreciated. Also, in no way is this saying you must make a pledge. |
Hello! Just a friendly reminder that the
GAN Backlog Drive has begun and will end on December 31, 2013! If you know anyone outside of the WikiProject that may be interested, feel free to invite them to the drive! |

It's that time again! Starting on March 1, there will be another GAN Backlog Drive! There will be several changes compared to previous drives:
Also, something that I thought I would share with all of you is that we raised $20.88 (USD) for the WMF in the December 2013 drive. It may not sound like a lot but considering that that was raised just because we reviewed articles, I would say that's pretty good! With that success, pledges can be made for the upcoming drive if you wish.
More info regarding the drive and full descriptions regarding the changes to this drive can be found on the the drive page. If you have any questions, feel free to leave a message on the drive talk page.
I look forward to your participation and hope that because of it, some day the backlog will be gone!

Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!
TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.
As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Hello! For some time now I've been working with wikidata, adding Latin-script versions of names for towns, villages and train stations in Belarus. The first step was to import romanized names in 2007 version from be/be-old Wikipedias, then I transformed them into current system, used by wikipedia, and now im adding them to Wikidata. Good example is Vialikaje Sialo (Q20466539). You can see English label and Property:P5412. I decided to add the list of my edits to the project, it might be used somewhere else. Wikipedia:WikiProject Belarus/Villages and stations. 23k edits will be ready (probably) by tomorrow. Would be nice if someone else will track and check it, because sometimes it looks weird (especially when its Ь). 2007-version is here: Wikipedia:WikiProject_Belarus/Villages_and_stations/2017, the plan is to add it as aliases to wikidata, but for now, my computer is way to slow. -- Andrei ( talk) 05:53, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

Thanks for uploading File:Majulah Singapura Phoon Yew Tien 20 November 2000.ogg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Thanks for uploading File:Coat of arms of Canada.svg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
{{
Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Hi, In History of that file https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Roundel_of_Japan.svg You wrote that the "white border is 1/15th" of the whole roundel. As I understand it, when the whole roundel (with white border) has a diameter 15 mm, then the white border width should be 1 mm, right? So that means the red circle should have a diameter 13 mm, right? I've downloaded this SVG file, I've opened it in InkScape and the red circle has 12,750 mm in diameter not 13 mm. 88.156.87.29 ( talk) 00:27, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
