Re: Trouble with image size...

The dimensions given are a maximum in either dimension, regardless of proportion, so vertically-oriented images will come out smaller than horizontally-oriented ones. I'm of the opinion that this, while inconvenient, is better than having widely inconsistent row heights (which would be the result if the height was not so sharply limited); it's not like the images really need to be well-viewable anyways, just recognizable enough to serve as icons.

As a practical point, perhaps the image could be rotated sideways? ;-) Kirill Lokshin 22:31, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support!

Se la face ay pale, la cause est... Se la face ay pale, la cause est... 23:42, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

If I'm a bit pale in the face now, it's because of the amazing support during my recent request for adminship and because of all those new shiny buttons. And if in the future my use of them should not always be perfect please don't hesitate to shout at me any time, sunset, noon or sunrise.

Vandalism???

Before accusing me of vandalism, please note that the Red Army invasion of Georgia cannot be merged with the entry which redirects back to the article. Thanks, --Kober 19:13, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Should we also rename Invasion of Poland (1939), Invasion of Yugoslavia, Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran and 2003 invasion of Iraq? Red Army invasion of Georgia is the name most frequently used in scholarly literature and I've provided dozens of sources for that. Invasion is invasion: It either happened or not. My sources say it happened and use exactly the word "invasion" to describe the event. If you have some sources claiming otherwise, please provide. See Talk:Red Army invasion of Georgia for more details. --Kober 19:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

You have a point, but I think that one should explain his/her reasoning when tagging the article. This sort of edit summary cannot be considered a valid argument, but rather a personal attack upon the author of the article. The article and its title are well-referenced, but still not so easily acceptable to some users who, unfortunately, still believe in Soviet-era myths about the "workers revolution in Georgia" and "brotherly aid provided by the Peasants and Workers Red Army." Best, --Kober 20:37, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Please also note POV and OR content of the Russian-Georgian war article and its pro-Georgian emphasis. Despite being Georgian, I would recommend to have it deleted. Thanks, Kober 20:48, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Stuff

Hi, Some time ago you put a {{POV}} tag to this article Occupation of Bessarabia by the Soviet Union, but you did not say anything about your reasons in the talk page. By now the article has seen some more clean-up from several good-faith users. Could, you, please, read the article again in the near future, and post your objections in the talk page. Thank you. :Dc76 06:45, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

If I am not misteken, you were one of the people that held on to the Moldovan census of 2004 and the Ukrainain census of 2001 as if your own life was at stake. You wanted to keep official data in the censa and you did not allow for users to state alternate sources and views (i.e. that Moldovans are in fact Romanians), exactly because you wanted to "cite census data only". We both know that is NOT the real reason but anyways...NOW you come to the Romanians article and claim that census data do not have to be used since they too have mistakes? This is a double-standard! Either we all agree (as a wiki. community) that census data will not be primary sources when estimating the population numbers or we all agree that they do - which is exactly the situation right now. But please do not push one POV in some articles and totally different norms and requirements in others.Dapiks 22:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Sources d'images

Tout d'abord, bonjour de la partie francophone de wikipedia, comme je suis pas sûr que tu traînes chez nous je te laisse une petite bafouille, ici. J'aurais besoin que tu renseignes au moins sur en:, la source pour quatre photos, à savoir :

• Image:Soviet civilians in a ruined Smolensk.jpg
• Image:A sapper searching for mines in Smolensk.jpg
• Image:Smolensk streets after liberation.jpg
• Image:Soviet civilians in a ruined Smolensk.jpg

En effet, celles-ci ont été copiées sur fr:, suite à la traduction de ton article sur la bataille de Smolensk. J'essaye de vider notre catégorie de domaine public URSS, et d'envoyer les photos sur commons, mais sans source, c'est le casse-pipe assuré. À l'occasion, jettes aussi, un oeil à http://victory.rusarchives.ru/, il ont une galerie assez intéressante, avec le nom des auteurs, mais j'arrive pas à deviner, si c'est libre de droits ;). Merci d'avance. fr:User:Bilou

Werbowy.jpg

hi i tried too refrase the clame on fair use for the picture.Our goal is that the image stayes,were ever the image will apear in the article or how sily the arguments might hear.Please can you trie to brign more editors in the discussion,this is not about one photo but how we can bypass the deletionist in the future--Pixel ;-) 14:08, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Teresa wong.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Teresa wong.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Oden 13:22, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

The Novels WikiProject Newsletter: Issue VII - December 2006

The Novels WikiProject Newsletter Issue VII - December 2006
Project news The project Scope has been slightly expanded to include the shorter narrative prose fiction of Novelettes and Short stories. Due to the diligance of many editors we now have more than 5000 articles tagged as part of the project. Keeping the Novels announcements page up to date and fresh is in need of a volunteer who can keep an eye on it and keep it's content fresh and lively. Please let us know if you are able to help with this. It doesn't involve much, but it needs to be looked at regularly. Member news The project has currently 178 members, 9 joined & 1 leavers since the last newsletter at the start of November 2006. Other news Portal:Library and information science has been created and needs support and more input.	From the Members Welcome to the seventh issue of the Novels WikiProject's newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do. We would encourage all members to get more envolved and if you are wondering what with, please ask. Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk), Initiating Editor
Auto list news Plenty of work has been done on articles included in the "auto lists" in the last couple of months. Particluarly so for the NovelsInCompleteInfobox list, which is constantly being worked on by a number of editors and most of those missing "genre" entries and quite a number with missing "ISBN" entires have been dealt with. A re-run of this list is due soon, courtesy of user Eagle.
Collaboration of the Month The Collaboration of the Month is generally going well, although the input for November's was less than inspiring, perhaps we can do better with the next one. This months Collaboration has been selected by popular vote and is Waverley (novel) the historical drama by Sir Walter Scott.
Current debates A new policy proposal has been started and the various points are to be seen at Wikipedia:Speedy deletion criterion for unsourced articles, please take a look at these and comment. This is a vital subject and all editors should consider the implications. These are NOT active yet, but could have wide reaching consequences. Please contribute your views. We have a project structure that allows for the formation of special interest task forces (al la "WP:MILHIST".) This was mentioned last month and a few have indicated interest. This is useful for identifying groups of Novels editors who have a common interest. (i.e. Science fiction novels, Crime Novels, Children's novels, Classic literature, Russian novels etc.) Would there be interest out there in setting one or more of these up. Comments please to the General Forum. Currently I am considering starting with "Crime Novels" and "Russian Novels" to see what can be achieved.
Newsletter challenge Last months Lawrence Durrell's novel Clea challenge was met by Hurrah (talk · contribs), who was "very" quick off the mark. As with the previous months it is now a very small stub in need of "loving care". The first person to start the article is mentioned in the next newsletter. This month's article is paranoid fiction.

The Da Vinci Award

To Grafikm fr for his dedicated service to the Military History project and for building Grafikbot which has made our lives easier, I, R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine), do hereby award this token of recognition. Given this 11th day of December 2006

Well deserved, my friend:)--R.D.H. (Ghost In The Machine) 12:21, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Grafikm_fr's personal vendetta/WP:IUP

You said on my talk page: "Renata, this is at best a disgusting personal attack. As for Oden, his behaviour was criticized by several other users (including your servant), so making it sound like Ghirla's crusade is at best inadequate. As for Ghirla himself, well, at least he's creating content, not taking fun in destroying it in the name of grand yet hollow principles like "free content" and "yeah sure, you can take a free pic of this star, just ask her"."

My talk page is not a forum for your personal vendettas, do not use Wikipedia for your own personal agenda, instead try to find a way to assume good faith and to contribute in a positive way.

As concerns your attitude regarding Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, such a statement gives cause for concern, and compels a need to review your contributions in greater detail in order to ensure that any material you have contributed (like Image:Teresa wong.jpg) is not in violation of policy. --Oden 18:03, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Clarification: it has come to my attention that the review of an editor's contributions can be regarded by some as stalking. I would like to dispell this miconception.

Regarding "scrutiny of contributions", if a editor posted a comment stating that he disagrees with WP:V, WP:NOR, WP:NPOV or any of Wikipedia's other policies, that editor's contributions would certainly be subject to review. Why should WP:IUP and WP:FUC, which are also policies, be regarded in a different manner?

This is not only in relation to your comments, I am genuinely curious on why many editors feel that the image policy should be interpreted differently (more leniently) than any other of Wikipedia's policies? --Oden 17:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

On disappointment

Having people leave, or get blocked, or banned, doesn't help with writing an encyclopedia. Leave that kind of stuff to Ghirla's IRC fairies. There are plenty of editors who never would be missed, including the fairies one and all, but Halibutt isn't one of them. Yes, he could be more agreeable, more civil, less suspicious, et cetera, et cetera, but so could many of Wikipedia's more productive editors. I'm extremely sad to see Ghirla on a "break", that goes without saying. I'm not much happier to see the arbcom involved. However, one of the complaints about Ghirlaphobia was the use of "forum shopping", i.e. running off to PAIN/AN/ANI at the least provocation. That's more or less what we see here. If M.K. disagrees with my comments, xe can tell me so. All the best for 2007, Angus McLellan (Talk) 10:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Personal attacks and harassment by Baltic gang

I see that you too have been harassed by the "ethnofacist" POV pushers. I do not think any argument or logic will convince them, but try to hang on :-) -- Petri Krohn 00:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter: Issue XI - January 2007

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue XI - January 2007

Project news A set of five criteria for B-Class status has been introduced; new parameters are available in {{WPMILHIST}} to keep track of articles' progress with regard to these criteria. The implementation of the new naming convention for military units is continuing. The Nordic military history task force has been created. All task forces now have their own sets of assessment statistics, logs, and worklists available. {{Infobox War Faction}} has been created for use with factions participating in a war. A gallery of military related featured pictures has been compiled as part of the project's showcase. Several new category naming conventions have been introduced: All categories classifying military conflicts and operations by country (such as Category:Battles by country) have been changed to use "X involving Y" in place of "X of Y". For example, Category:Battles of France is now Category:Battles involving France. All categories classifying warfare by era (such as Category:Battles by era) have been changed to use "X of the Y era" in place of "Y X". For example, Category:Industrial battles is now Category:Battles of the Industrial era.

Novels newsletter : Issue IX - February 2007

The Novels WikiProject Newsletter Issue IX - February 2007
Project news The month has been a quiet one for the project with little obvious interaction, although editors have been very busy working on article improvement, recategorisation, and assessments. The Short story task force have been slowly adding staff and working mostly in the early stages to tag existing "short story" and "short story collection" articles. Member news The project has currently 204 members, 13 joined & 1 leavers since the last newsletter at the start of January 2007 Other news The Short story task force now has 6 participants, do join in if you have an interest. Also do let us know if other Task Forces could be established. Auto list news NovelsInCompleteInfobox worklist has been worked through, mainly due to the efforts of Jask99; it has now only the most difficult to complete. Please give it a look and if you can complete an infobox, please do. We should soon get a rerun with the latest article additions generated courtesy of user Eagle. Current debates East of Eden copyright infringements? is the latest debate that could do with input. Worklist "Projectified" List of literary works with eponymous heroes List of literary works with eponymous heroines These two lists have been culled from the main Wikipedia but others thought they would serve as a good worklist for the project to use as article hitlist, so they are here for your pleasure.

Along the way it got (correctly!) renamed to Fictional location. The first person to start the article is mentioned in the next newsletter. This month's article is P.D. James - A Taste for Death.
