I noticed that you suggested that the article on
Arthur J. Altmeyer could use some cleanup. I've been doing some work on the origins of the social security system in the United States. It might be helpful to have a more specific msg about what you think should be improved in that article. Best regards. Morris 13:37, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
Request for use of one of your photos
Hi Tagishsimon,
I work for Publications at Brunel University and I am currently putting together a course leaflet for an Master's course in Security and Intelligence Studies. We would love to be able to use you photo of the MI6 building on the front page, and I was wondering whether you would give your consent for this usage? I will, of course, include a credit for you within the leaflet.
If so, would you have a high resolution image that you could forward to me?
If you could contact me at jo.dooher@brunel.ac.uk, I would be very grateful!
Many thanks and kind regards,
Jo

Pr Punctuation: Thanks
Thanks for putting in the new batch in Project Punctuation! I hope you didn't have to type those in by hand, because I normally do it with an emacs script. ;) Brighterorange 14:27, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Overgrown stubs
Hi Tagishsimon,
If it was up to me I'd run the cleanup projects back to back and try to clean out as many stubs as possible. Unfortunately I can only run the cleanup project every time a new database dump (http://download.wikimedia.org) becomes available and this time its been over a month. Oh well; I'll have the new cleanup project set up just a few days after the next database dump becomes available. Thanks for your support though =) Triddle 18:33, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
I Need your help on 'Move Tsushima Islands' Issue
Hi! You appear to be an QUALIFIED interested disinterested bystander... I'm just making the rounds to everyone that has made their mark on Tsushima Islands which lead me to Fg2, (thence to then YOU! Congrats! Booby Prize, but I badly need some responsible People to help me mediate therein that are familiar with things Japanese... errr English! Sorry, but I infer that's still YOU!) in the last month trying to mediate this flaming revert war — I can use your help — Bring lots O water! (Better yet Beer) Frank
- This is the message I've been dropping on anyone on the Talk or Article pages since 13 May, I'd appreciate it if you can familarize yourself on the small article and stand-by to jump in on Tuesday with some cogent watersprays from a logical firehose! Thanks for the trouble -- the issue is trivial, (Is proper name plural or singular, Forsooth!) save there seem to be at least two teens in a war going well over three hundred edits in this one month sampling interval, over 70 edits in the past three days.
- I would appreciate a rational explaination (after you read my Comments in the subject dispute Talk:Tsushima Islands), of the arguement or arguments you consider vital and germane to the discusion and vote. Frankly, MOST all of you are being silly over nothing of particular importance, since both names can be redirected into the one used. I have left a comment concerning my contribution to the article, which contribution — seems to have triggered the current edit and revision wars. For that I apologize, but see the Comments on the vote. I am also taking the liberty of putting the vote section AFTER the Comments about same.
- Still, I have just spent over four hours of valuable spare time, and would welcome your thoughts after you read and understand the distinction I put forth between a governments termonology as a governing body and a geographical reference like an archepelego, which it certainly is.
- More to the point, I'd like to see your defense regarding your favorite POV of what I had to say viz a viz the mergest attitude of the senior editors and administrators that frequent the Wikipedia:VfD discussions. To my recollection, I don't recollect any of you hotheads in this dispute ever spending anytime thereon, possibly excepting Mel Etitis, but rarely even then.
- In any event, I'm neutral here, and have asked that the article be kept EDIT FREE for the next three days by placing The Inuse template into it — I'd copyedited over two and half hours before I suspended that effort the other night because this shameful fued was going on — proper English grammer does depend, unfortunately, on whether one uses the plural or the singular. I saved that on my hard drive, but I don't need to wade through yet another 70 edits to finish the job. As it is, this matter will probably double the time it takes for such a simple job.
- If you are local to Japan, some history of the canals or Sea-channel is certainly germane to the ongoing discussion, moreover, any cogent arguement you condsider being particularly telling needs to be clearly repeated in the current on going comments if you want them counted on in the vote.
- I will make sure this message goes to each contributor to the article the past month, so you are not being singled out. Now is the time to take a deep breath, for rational concise summaries, not all the arguing that is so wearisome in 66 printed pages - half a novelette, I'd guess! It's certainly a lot to ask your fellow editors to wade through on a minor issue.
- I will also personally be making sure that at least a dozen other Administrators I'm acquainted with take a look at the debate after the time below. I will in fact ask for twenty commitments, so be clear and respectful of our time!!!
- Thankyou for your time, attention, and good professional behaviour. I'll check the Talk state again no sooner than Monday around Noon (UTC), And ask the uninvolved others to do the same. PLEASE BE CONCISE. [[User:Fabartus| FrankB || TalktoMe]] 03:27, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Well that's my heads up, and appeal -- Hope you can help. I really don't have a dog in this fight! If you can alert a few others qualified on matters Japanese, or distinguishing English plurals from singulars, (sort of, sad to say) by all means, please do so!
Milestone statistics
Have a look at the discussion on the milestone page. User:Dcljr pretty much says what I would've said. 600.000 is simply not the next logical milestone. Oh, and the 1, 2, 5 pattern wasn't accidental, it was done on purpose. --Conti|✉ 18:56, Jun 19, 2005 (UTC)
Rohingya
I also have asked the original contributors to the page to remove the copyvio text, and rewrite the article. I have started Rohingya/Temp as a substitute, and would put the copyvio tag on the original article once I have enough content on the Temp page. Please take a look at Rohingya/Temp to see the proposed structure. The current contributors to the original page are quite hostile, and took part in 15 straight vandalism of the talk page and added obscene slurs there. Anyway, see the temp page and if possible change it. Thanks. --Ragib 22:51, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Furling.jpg copyvio
looks like fair use to me. i've looked at Wikipedia:Fair use and went down the list of questions, it's from a sail training organisation (#9 The image and source (if known) suggest it is intended for wide distribution (such as promotional images) and being used in an article about sail training (#10 placed in a relevant article and no larger than required for the web based article).
i'm new here so i might be wrong on this but don't you think that Wikipedia:Image_copyright_tags#Unfree_Images such as PUIdisputed might of been a more diplomatic way of initiating this conversation?
- have received permission for use from copyright holders, please advise as next step. -Seasee 17:20, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
little help
i've contacted the copyright holder and waiting to hear back from them.
i'm still new here so i'm a little confused about the proper procedure here, i've left messages on Talk:Furling.jpg which is advised on the template and on Image talk:Furling.jpg where i found your comment directing me to WP:PUI where i couldn't find a listing for it. finally after i discovered the message you left me on my talk did i try you here. where is the proper fourm to discuss this because i can't see how our conversation via our talk personal talk pages is going to resolve this issue.

navclass, alanvilliers
ok. the navclass is mine, i'll send you the raw file if you like. i'm using the fair use to protect the kids from improper use as i don't have a model release for them but guided discoveries does. if i have to, i'll change it to gfdl.
as for the alanvilliers image from the parma, it's not pd because he only died in 1982 and it's not listed in the National Maritime Museum catalog of images they own. i couldn't find specific use of nmm images in either wiki or nmm regarding non-commercial educational use so i chose that one. can you advise? -Seasee
Wikipedia:Auto-categorization/Wikipedia namespace
Unfortunately, it is rather inactive at the moment. I will come back to it in a few months, but for now I've de-listed it from the active fixup template. -- Beland 19:49, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Red link recovery project
Howdy, Topbanana here, back after an extended absence. I've decided to round up a few of my more useful reports into a project with the goal of converting as many "red links" (links to non-existant articles) into "blue links" (links to real articles). As you've been active in fixing similar things in the past, I thought I'd let you know in case you're interested in joining up. If not, I won't be offended - we've all got lots todo here :) - TB 11:39, 2005 Jun 23 (UTC)
