Hey Snorre, welcome back. A lot has changed since December 2001 (I think that's when you last contributed -- our software isn't very good at measuring such large timescales). Not that I'd know because I wasn't here in December 2001. Anyway, I hope you manage to find your way around. If you have any questions, ask on the souped up, streamlined Wikipedia:Village pump. By the way most people put their contributions on either their user page, or a subpage of their user page, say User:Snorre/Contributions, rather than their talk page. -- Tim Starling 07:56, Oct 22, 2003 (UTC)

Thanx mate, So what then is this talk-thing for? I just jotted down something here, since it was easily accessible (link up on top-right whereever I go..)

It's for talking to users. Whenever someone changes your talk page, a "you have new messages" link appears at the top of any page you view. Sometimes people reply to such comments on the same page, but often they reply on the other user's talk page. It's generally considered rude these days to alter another person's user page, except to revert vandalism.

OK, kewl.. I might 'get' all of this after a while.

Are you from Lake Macquarie? What part? -- Tim Starling 07:51, Oct 23, 2003 (UTC)

Im originally from Stavanger, Norway, but came to Newcastle to attend University of Newcastle (NSW) apx 3 years ago. I was an avid participant (Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays) in Yacht Races out of LMYC up until January this year when a friend moved his boat to the newly established Newcastle Cruising Yacht Club which is just down the road from where I currently reside..

Cool. I'm from Morisset originally, at the southwest side of the lake. Lake Macquarie is certainly a nice place for sailing -- there's lots of room but it's relatively calm. So are you enjoying Australia? -- Tim Starling 05:22, Oct 25, 2003 (UTC)

Sure am. Got a lovely GF and am currently in the process of applying for permanent residency (better hurry, before they throw me out..)

Hi, ship articles like USS Amsterdam are really just fancy disambiggers, plus we have articles like US Navy and USS Independence (CVL-22) that already have the extlinks, so I removed them from the Amsterdam page. Stan 17:08, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)

Hi Stan, Thanx for fixing up the USSAmsterdam article, I just fixed it up myself and would have done what U have done if I noticed the wiki articles. Thanx for letting me know too... Sorry I didnt post this reply on your site, but I were'nt allowed (Connection closed by server?) Cheers, -Antwelm 13:31, 2003 Nov 5 (UTC)

Hi. What's the license of this image: Image:Newcastle australia.jpg? GFDL? --Jonik 21:02, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I have not decided what license any of my pictures here are going to be under.. (C) will suffice for now :)

If anyone wants to use them outside of Wikipedia, I would like to be notified about its intended use, and we take it from there.

---Antwelm -Antwelm 04:16, 2005 Jan 11 (UTC)

I do not agree, with the best will in the world, that (C) will suffice for now. One rationale of wikipedia is that it is possible to replicate it through the GFDL or other open licences. You cannot at one and the same time support that but be equivical about the licence terms on your copyrighted image: that will - again with the best well - merely lead to the deletion of the image, since having content of unverified copyright/licence poses a legal risk to wikipedia. There are lots of different licences: go wild at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags ... please. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

Roger that. My images are hereby published acording to Template:Cc-by-2.0 -Antwelm 14:45, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)

Hi, I'm just responding to the note you left on my talk page regarding Image:Nobbys head.jpg and the fact that I tagged it as GFDL. In this case, it was not a mistake. All contributions to wikipedia are licenced under the GFDL (See: Wikipedia:Copyrights). In the case of images we have to make exceptions because most images are not owned by the people who contribute them; those images which are owned by the contributor are assumed to be GFDL unless this is explicitly stated otherwise (See: Wikipedia:Untagged images). As an extension, the fact that your image was marked (C) does not indicate the licence status of the image, merely that you own the rights to it (which is why I thought I could assume GFDL). For example, I can own an image and mark it (C) Lommer and publish it under the GFDL. So all in all, I'm sorry that your image got caught up in this and I hope that this explanation can smooth whatever feathers I've ruffled. -Lommer | ^talk 20:56, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
