I was asked by a user to convert a map I created in Illustrator CS2 from gif to SVG, and then upload it to the commons. I had some difficulty uploading the image, and for about a week, the medium resolution version on the image page was rendered very poorly (for some reason it looks ok now). All that strangeness aside, my question is how to embed a font into the SVG. I know I can convert the text to outlines using illustrator, but that seems to defeat the purpose of having selectable, editable SVG images. Any ideas what I am doing wrong, or are fonts not supported? And does anybody know why it took a week for the .png made from the SVG to look decent?-- Andrew c 17:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Today I see that the large amount of content on Molly had been moved to Molly (Disambiguation). Normally that kind of cleanup is a good thing, but the content of Molly was replaced with a barely notable current event (name of a cat being rescued from New York sewers). Looking through the editor's talk page and history I see that he seems to do this sort of blanket move a lot in perhaps non-helpful ways that has attracted question from other Wikipedians. Anyone have thoughts on this? Should I undo this rather strange move? -- Kickstart70- T- C 18:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

I have written a Wikipedia entry for Collin Brooks (broadcaster, author and journalist).
I uploaded an image (a picture of Collin Brooks, originally from my family archives as he was my grandfather) to Wikimedia but wasn't sure how to categorise its copyright status. I now see a message telling me that it will be removed within 7 days if I don't provide the copyright status.
Q1: How can I edit the copyright status Q2: What do I set it to bearing in mind the picture came originally from our family collection.
Answer:
Simply add the appropriate copyright tag. A list of tags can be found at WP:IT. In this case, I would suggest something like {{No rights reserved}} or {{GFDL-self}}. Make sure you also clearly state that the image comes from your family archive. If you have more questions, please let me know. -- Hetar 21:14, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

I also tried searching the list of recent deletions, but could not find it there. If it has been deleted it would be helpful to know why so that I can educate myself and submit articles that better fit your requirements. If I erred in the submission process, that would be helpful to know, too. Where should I look next? Many thanks for your help. Jayme Curtis 21:33, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
There are several censors/revisionists on Wikipedia who are determined to delete or gut anything they personally do not agree with or like. One of these is an editor named Demiurge whose relentless attempts at censorship, blocked only when he is caught red-handed by third party Wikipedians, continues unabated. Please review his attempts to delete my additions to the Tim Pat Coogan wikipage. Evidently he is not the only one.
Demiurge is an Irish censor and a Catholic apologist who has attempted to delete edits to pages as various as Ante Pavelic, Tim Pat Coogan, pre-Code (related, ironically, to movie censorship in the USA by the Catholic Church), Eamon de Valera (refugee policy during WWII), and many others. Is this individual going to be permitted to censor, delete, edit, sanitize, gut, or whatever he cares to do, with no one stopping him??? He has just blocked my sourced and cited additions to the Wikipage of Tim Pat Coogan (pls. check edit history).
I do not have my own computer so I am using a rental, but if you wish to contact me, please email me at karas_peter@yahoo.com (my friend's email address). I would like to receive a valid reason for his abusive attempts at censorship regarding his "pet" issues.
Thank You, 70.19.67.28 22:40, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
P.S.: This is a very black harbinger for Wikipedia, and its helplessness to block abusive editors, and certainly administrators (which Demiurge is not yet, fortunately, but he will certainly attempt to become one).

Hi I stay in India. I am afrequent user of Wikipedia. Just got an Idea of WikiMaps. I know it doesn't make sense to US folks. But In India roads are very unorganized and there is no proper method to navigate in unfamiliar places. GPS is not in reach of common man. There are hardly any GPS service providers May be two for a country of 1 Billion people. For now I feel wikifying the maps is a viable solution. As GPS and other thigs evolve these can be reused. There are very few commercial alternatives available But they are too expensive. First I thought I will start this project on my own. Later I realised technological and resource limitations. First thing is Contribution and support of people. Second is the Embedded Graphics tool Embedded in Web-browser to make Maps, I am not even sure if one exist some thing like that. So, What do you think. Any Suggestions.

I'm somewhat mystified about the proper way to edit the User Page for an anonymous IP address that constantly being banned for vandalism, in particular User:205.213.111.51.
It seems none of the Wikipedia admins have been unable to figure out why this address is the source of so much vandalism.. and so I hope this User page will help provide details for the admins dealing with future vandalism from this proxy address.
I created this User page today since I'm a network administrator at one of the state organizations using this filter-proxy address, and I also added a reference to this user page, on its talk page.
However, when accessing Wikipedia through that address, it's highly unclear how someone who is being blocked would know to even find this user page for them. It says something like "your address
205.213.111.51 is being blocked from editing." But then when I click on the
205.213.111.51 it says "no such page exists, try searching for it." I then click on the search link provided and it takes me to a weird Special Page with no apparent path to the User page.
I tried to create a simple redirect from 205.213.111.51 to User:205.213.111.51 to provide a direct means of getting to the user page details, but someone put the redirect up for immediate deletion within minutes..
Is this one of the rare situations where a redirect to a User page is acceptable? The redirect would help people who are unknowingly coming through the proxy to find that User page about their filter-proxy address.
I've no idea how this should be handled.

However when I search for other articles the case doesn't seem to matter. For example, a search for "lightspeed media corporation" returns the article on "Lightspeed Media Corporation" but a search for "webcamcash" does not return the article on "WebcamCash".

Andrew Lost was made by me on March 4, 2006. Since then, a total of 5 people have edited it besides me ( Ambuj.Saxena; 142.109.45.57; RussBot; JoeBot; JoshuaZ). It links to a total of 4 places ( Time travel in fiction; My user page; J. C. Greenburg; here). I heard somewhere that it's bad to have an article with too little links, or an orphaned article.

There's been an edit war going on Whitney Houston for weeks in which one or more anonymous users blank out any reference to allegations of crack use by Houston. Only one of the edits has had a comment. There've been many attempts to draw the editors into a discussion on the talk page with no success.

Trying to follow instructions at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:User_Wikipedia/RC_patrollers to use that monobook shown there... but I've tried just about every way of doing it I can think of, and it comes out looking all wrong on my page. Like it loses all its formatting, and so doesn't work. The strangest thing is if I look at my page while not logged in, it looks fine. But once I do, it's all broken. You can see what I've tried in the history at User:Goldom/monobook.js, but it may look fine to others, since they aren't logged in as me. In fact, it even looks fine to me in the history.

I am trying to modify a table in an infobox template so that some of the rows can be optional. This is done in many info boxes. User:Notinasnaid/Temp shows the current attempt. You can see a #if in there. Unfortunately, when the line contains
! style="text-align:left;"
then, while the rest of the row disappears you are left with the actual text style="text-align:left;" in bold, escaping from the conditional. If this is changed to
| style="text-align:left;"
the text disappears, but that would be changing the design of the info box, which I am trying to avoid. Any clues? Indeed, I have struggled to find where the #if stuff is documented. Notinasnaid 12:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi! Just recently joined and would like to create some biology stubs. I looked at the requests page and noticed one of them was for 'intermediate filament protein' and there is already a 'intermediate filament' article. I created a page called 'intermediate filament protein' and redirected it to the other one, then deleted it from the request page. Was that right? My question- If someone requests something that's already there then do you always have to make a new page, even if they phrase something in an odd way that no-one else is likely to type in? If you know what they are meaning but there is already a page on it. Hope that makes sense :) Linberry 13:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)Linberry

HowTo: Have a pop-up link rather than a full href-like link?
Is there a way to insert a quick pop-up link so that a full link is avoided? This would be beneficial to people with a slow POTS modem.
Scenario with example:
I wasn't sure what
trolls meant. There was a link that obviously provided a definition, but clicking on it took me to a whole new page. Maybe I'm just pathetically lazy, but that was just too much trouble when a simple pop-up definition would have been preferred (to avoid the Back click).
I am aware that browser portability almost certainly applies.
BTW:
WinHelp is obsolete, but it was able to provide this capability for context sensitive help. I have participated in several open source software projects, and have not figured out how to get HtmlHelp to provide popup definitions for an application's documentation; so I realize it isn't a simple problem.

I'm trying to link to an image available in Wikipedia Commons. The problem is that an image with the same name (Herschel.jpg) also exists in Wikipedia itself. Is there any way to override the default behavior of using a local image if present and only going to Commons if no local image is present? What makes this particularly annoying is that the local image is marked for deletion in the near future due to its licensing. ThreeBlindMice 01:57, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for all the advice. Just to close this out I figure I'd post that what I ended up doing. I found the source of the original image that I wanted to use from Commons and uploaded it again with a more descriptive (and hence less likely to collide with another image) name. I then changed the six or seven other language wikipedias to use the new image name (mainly for consistencies sake). As per Mgm's suggestion I made sure that the new upload had the same source and copyright information as the original image (also added a link back to the original image and provided a comment as to why the same image now exists twice). Hopefully I didn't go against any established Wikipedia or Wikepedia Commons rules. ThreeBlindMice 04:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi all,
I'm in the middle of trying to clean up Create/Recreate: the 3rd Millennial Culture (a currently-advertorial article about a transhumanist-advocacy book) and I've reached the conclusion that when I'm done it'll need moving to fit the naming conventions (as it currently includes the subtitle in the article name). However, the proper title of the book appears to be "CREATE/RECREATE" (judging by this mirror of the publisher's webpage selling it, which has a copy of the cover too), all caps. I've done a quick test to determine that the lower-casing is not a software limitation, but I can't find anything in the manual of style and naming conventions pages about whether we should slavishly follow the original capitalisation in titles. My gut instinct is that all-caps is ugly and shouty, but I just thought I'd get some more opinions. -- Bth 08:57, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

I noticed TV producer David Peckinpah was listed on the Recent deaths page, so I looked at his own page and noticed some strong insults, including David Peckinpah is the property of Satan and David Peckinpah is an agent of evil.
This seems wrong to me. Is this kind of extreme criticism allowed as long as the statements are actually quotes taken from the internet? One of the quotes appears to be taken from a chatroom. Where do the Wiki guidelines draw the line as to who can be quoted in an article?
(The article is clearly biased against Peckinpah as well, but it was the use of obscure quotes as sly insults that bothered me).

I had some difficulty uploading the image, and for about a week, the medium resolution version on the image page was rendered very poorly (for some reason it looks ok now). All that strangeness aside, my question is how to embed a font into the SVG. I know I can convert the text to outlines using illustrator, but that seems to defeat the purpose of having selectable, editable SVG images.

I uploaded an image (a picture of Collin Brooks, originally from my family archives as he was my grandfather) to Wikimedia but wasn't sure how to categorise its copyright status. I now see a message telling me that it will be removed within 7 days if I don't provide the copyright status.
Q1: How can I edit the copyright status Q2: What do I set it to bearing in mind the picture came originally from our family collection.
Answer:
Simply add the appropriate copyright tag. A list of tags can be found at WP:IT. In this case, I would suggest something like {{No rights reserved}} or {{GFDL-self}}. Make sure you also clearly state that the image comes from your family archive. If you have more questions, please let me know. -- Hetar 21:14, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

There are several censors/revisionists on Wikipedia who are determined to delete or gut anything they personally do not agree with or like. One of these is an editor named Demiurge whose relentless attempts at censorship, blocked only when he is caught red-handed by third party Wikipedians, continues unabated. Please review his attempts to delete my additions to the Tim Pat Coogan wikipage. Evidently he is not the only one.
Demiurge is an Irish censor and a Catholic apologist who has attempted to delete edits to pages as various as Ante Pavelic, Tim Pat Coogan, pre-Code (related, ironically, to movie censorship in the USA by the Catholic Church), Eamon de Valera (refugee policy during WWII), and many others. Is this individual going to be permitted to censor, delete, edit, sanitize, gut, or whatever he cares to do, with no one stopping him??? He has just blocked my sourced and cited additions to the Wikipage of Tim Pat Coogan (pls. check edit history).
I do not have my own computer so I am using a rental, but if you wish to contact me, please email me at karas_peter@yahoo.com (my friend's email address). I would like to receive a valid reason for his abusive attempts at censorship regarding his "pet" issues.
Thank You, 70.19.67.28 22:40, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
P.S.: This is a very black harbinger for Wikipedia, and its helplessness to block abusive editors, and certainly administrators (which Demiurge is not yet, fortunately, but he will certainly attempt to become one).

I'm just a casual Wikipedia user, but I was looking at the article for Moviemistakes.com and under Membership it mentions that the site costs $10 and includes the quotes Well, what are you waiting for? Join! and It's worth every penny. It also includes a link to the sign-up page for Moviemistakes.com.
I'm not familiar with Wikipedia's policy on this type of (subtle) advertising, but common sense tells me it must be against their rules. Is there somewhere I should report this, or could one of the experienced users here deal with it? 172.135.29.182 20:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Are there options that would allow the uploading of a graph from a science book illustrating the authors' data? Specifically, it's a tree of human population genetics ( viewable here). Since it doesn't diminish the value of the authors' copyright, can fair-use be asserted?

Hi I stay in India. I am afrequent user of Wikipedia. Just got an Idea of WikiMaps. I know it doesn't make sense to US folks. But In India roads are very unorganized and there is no proper method to navigate in unfamiliar places. GPS is not in reach of common man. There are hardly any GPS service providers May be two for a country of 1 Billion people. For now I feel wikifying the maps is a viable solution. As GPS and other thigs evolve these can be reused. There are very few commercial alternatives available But they are too expensive. First I thought I will start this project on my own. Later I realised technological and resource limitations. First thing is Contribution and support of people. Second is the Embedded Graphics tool Embedded in Web-browser to make Maps, I am not even sure if one exist some thing like that. So, What do you think. Any Suggestions.

I'm somewhat mystified about the proper way to edit the User Page for an anonymous IP address that constantly being banned for vandalism, in particular User:205.213.111.51.
It seems none of the Wikipedia admins have been unable to figure out why this address is the source of so much vandalism.. and so I hope this User page will help provide details for the admins dealing with future vandalism from this proxy address.
I created this User page today since I'm a network administrator at one of the state organizations using this filter-proxy address, and I also added a reference to this user page, on its talk page.
However, when accessing Wikipedia through that address, it's highly unclear how someone who is being blocked would know to even find this user page for them. It says something like "your address
205.213.111.51 is being blocked from editing." But then when I click on the
205.213.111.51 it says "no such page exists, try searching for it." I then click on the search link provided and it takes me to a weird Special Page with no apparent path to the User page.
I tried to create a simple redirect from 205.213.111.51 to User:205.213.111.51 to provide a direct means of getting to the user page details, but someone put the redirect up for immediate deletion within minutes..
Is this one of the rare situations where a redirect to a User page is acceptable? The redirect would help people who are unknowingly coming through the proxy to find that User page about their filter-proxy address.
I've no idea how this should be handled.

However when I search for other articles the case doesn't seem to matter. For example, a search for "lightspeed media corporation" returns the article on "Lightspeed Media Corporation" but a search for "webcamcash" does not return the article on "WebcamCash".

then, while the rest of the row disappears you are left with the actual text style="text-align:left;" in bold, escaping from the conditional. If this is changed to

the text disappears, but that would be changing the design of the info box, which I am trying to avoid. Any clues? Indeed, I have struggled to find where the #if stuff is documented. Notinasnaid 12:02, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

I created a page called 'intermediate filament protein' and redirected it to the other one, then deleted it from the request page. Was that right?

HowTo: Have a pop-up link rather than a full href-like link?
Is there a way to insert a quick pop-up link so that a full link is avoided? This would be beneficial to people with a slow POTS modem.
Scenario with example:
I wasn't sure what
trolls meant. There was a link that obviously provided a definition, but clicking on it took me to a whole new page. Maybe I'm just pathetically lazy, but that was just too much trouble when a simple pop-up definition would have been preferred (to avoid the Back click).
I am aware that browser portability almost certainly applies.
BTW:
WinHelp is obsolete, but it was able to provide this capability for context sensitive help. I have participated in several open source software projects, and have not figured out how to get HtmlHelp to provide popup definitions for an application's documentation; so I realize it isn't a simple problem.

I found the source of the original image that I wanted to use from Commons and uploaded it again with a more descriptive (and hence less likely to collide with another image) name. I then changed the six or seven other language wikipedias to use the new image name (mainly for consistencies sake). As per Mgm's suggestion I made sure that the new upload had the same source and copyright information as the original image (also added a link back to the original image and provided a comment as to why the same image now exists twice). Hopefully I didn't go against any established Wikipedia or Wikepedia Commons rules. ThreeBlindMice 04:08, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Does anyone know if there is any RSS feeds available for the things on the front page (ie This day in history, featured article, that type of thing), and if not, are there any plans to implement such a thing?

Hi all,
I'm in the middle of trying to clean up Create/Recreate: the 3rd Millennial Culture (a currently-advertorial article about a transhumanist-advocacy book) and I've reached the conclusion that when I'm done it'll need moving to fit the naming conventions (as it currently includes the subtitle in the article name). However, the proper title of the book appears to be "CREATE/RECREATE" (judging by this mirror of the publisher's webpage selling it, which has a copy of the cover too), all caps. I've done a quick test to determine that the lower-casing is not a software limitation, but I can't find anything in the manual of style and naming conventions pages about whether we should slavishly follow the original capitalisation in titles. My gut instinct is that all-caps is ugly and shouty, but I just thought I'd get some more opinions. -- Bth 08:57, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Dear Sir
I had applied for (Rs.15,000) Share (Physical) Certificates (500 x 30) in number through balloting. And with the Grace of Almighty Allah my name appeared in the list of successful candidates. But unfortunately, when I contact my Allied Bank Limited, Naval Complex Branch, Islamabad officials told me that they have received Certificates of successful candidates but there was no envelop received in my name by the Bank as yet.
What should I do and whom I should contact to recover my Certificates.
Yours sincerely

I have been working for several hours putting up an article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clean_Living_Movements and making various changes.

I noticed TV producer David Peckinpah was listed on the Recent deaths page, so I looked at his own page and noticed some strong insults, including David Peckinpah is the property of Satan and David Peckinpah is an agent of evil.
This seems wrong to me. Is this kind of extreme criticism allowed as long as the statements are actually quotes taken from the internet? One of the quotes appears to be taken from a chatroom. Where do the Wiki guidelines draw the line as to who can be quoted in an article?
(The article is clearly biased against Peckinpah as well, but it was the use of obscure quotes as sly insults that bothered me).

What was the 1.1-millionth article? Whatever it was, it was just created today at approximately 12:35 PM Central time.
Now, for statistics- It took ~54 days, 19 hours, and 26 minutes to add 100,000 articles to Wikipedia (from March 2nd to April 26th.) At this rate, we will hit 2,000,000 on approximately September 3, 2007. -- Shultz IV 22:09, 26 April 2006 (UTC)

A lot of my scripts have suddenly stopped working - except popups. Topaz's status changer and a couple of scripts for automatically nominating articles for deletion and leaving {{ test}} messages on people's pages have both disappeared. I've reverted back to the last version that was working properly all day, and tried the usual purging the cache, but nothing doing. Anyone have any ideas what went wrong? -- Sam Blanning (talk) 23:31, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
Where would I pose a question or make a recommendation about the policy for inclusion in a wide range of categories?

In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Compiler_optimizations I'm ready to add an article, but I can't see how to edit the contents page so as to place a link to the page-to-be. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by NickyMcLean ( talk • contribs) 04:40, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. Via your advice the deed is done: a link to the Lazy Evaluation page appeared by the expedient of editing that page to declare a "come from" the compiler optimisations page, and behold! The compiler optimisations page was changed! Whee!

Hi. I have been reading the section of collaborative software and wanted to enter our company's name there, in the section on commercial or proprietary software. ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_collaborative_software)
I attempted to enter a listing, with a link to the website (since I wasn't sure if I could create a page on the software in Wikipedia) and it was removed twice.
I read your policy on "vanity pages", and it seems to me that this is a legitimate use -- to list various collaborative software, and I would like to have our software listed there.
Please tell me how to go about this, and I don't want to hear "Have someone else do it who is not related to the company." It looks pretty clear to me that others with interest have entered information for some of these products. I am perfectly happy to maintain a balanced POV.
Is it true that a link on this list of software should go to another page in Wikipedia? Is it OK for me to create that page, if I set up an account? -- 71.198.23.88 18:32, 27 April 2006 (UTC)Jon Kennedy
