(SimEarth)

I like your article on SNES SimEarth. I do suggest you make a local copy of the wikitext, since it's obvious you put alot of time into it. You may be able to recycle some of the content into other articles.

Redirects

Hey there, Stovetop. I noticed that you were trying to make TO-92 a redirect to TO92. The way to do that is to make the entire text of the article:

 #REDIRECT [[name of the article you're redirecting to]]

Thanks for your contributions! Fernando Rizo T/C 00:10, 29 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:Lymphocyte.gif

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Lymphocyte.gif. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Matt 23:44, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Elcapval.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Elcapval.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. -- Longhair 10:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: SimCity 3000 screenshot

My apologies if the image stirs up emotions. The reason the towers are included is that SimCity 3000 is the only game in the series to have featured the buildings and their presence should be evidenced. The image also serves to compare the towers' height against other buildings in-game. In a way, it's also a personal tribute to the victims of 9/11, and I definitely wish not to offend anyone who has been greatly affected by this tragedy. I know how traumatic this could be, but the game and its contents were released two years before the attacks (this city itself has not been modified since July 2001), so I don't see how the tower's existence alone is objectable. Sorry again. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 18:59, 16 November 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

I don't have a problem with it. I was just concerned for others. Stovetopcookies 23:55, 17 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, under normal circumstances, the image won't require modifications, although I'm beginning to believe the whole city itself may resemble a portion of Manhattan (which is definitely unintended), and may have an undesired impression to certain quarters. I'll see what I can do, although the towers may be re-added but portrayed in a less suggestive manner. Besides, I have been thinking about including a city with more slopes anyway, in line with Image:SimCity2000 Windows In-Game Screenshot.png and Image:Maturecity.jpg. Thanks for the input. ╫ ２５ ^{◀RingADing▶} 16:16, 18 November 2006 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Units

Kibibytes (KiB) and mebibytes (MiB) are valid units. They are the accepted units for Wikipedia for expressing things such as processor cache. They are not spelling mistakes, and do not need to be changed. — Aluvus ^t/c 01:27, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you making things complicated? The unit is kilobyte, abbreviated as kB and represents 1,024 bytes. It has held that definition since the 1950's and isn't going to change because you want it to.Stovetopcookies 02:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The use of IEC units was not my choice. But it is the standard that has been generally agreed on by Wikipedia editors. There is a little bit on this at WP:MOSNUM. Changing the units as "spelling mistakes" is both inaccurate and counter-productive, and people will simply revert your changes. If you disagree with the use of KiB and MiB, then take it up on a talk page instead of arbitrarily changing articles. I am not overly fond of the IEC units, but am in favor of consistency. — Aluvus ^t/c 04:05, 11 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As it says, both units are acceptible, and so I will continue to use the traditional and correct ones. Just because a few orginazations have adopted it for their own purposed does not mean they have become the new standard. Wikipedia should remain unbiased and therefore use the units that have been in use since the conception of computers in the sense as they are being described, not since 1999 when a few groups of people decided to put their own twists on things. I will continue to make corrections to improve Wikipedia as I see fit, as that is what it is all about. Stovetopcookies 01:52, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you dislike the IEC units, then by all means build a consensus to not use them; consensus is ostensibly a major goal of Wikipedia. But changing a small portion of articles will only confuse readers, and is not a good idea. — Aluvus ^t/c 08:19, 13 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to know who made the decision to arbitrarily use these IEC units, as they are not standard units by any definition and for the most part, unheardof outside this community. Stovetopcookies 17:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Datadyne.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Datadyne.gif. 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 orphaned, meaning that it is 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 under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Thank you for the consideration. I had drawn the logo a long time ago and have seen that since then, they have merged the DataDyne artcile into the Perfect Dark game article so it seems the link to the logo is lost. Perhaps I can take an in-game photo of it and upload it. Stovetopcookies 20:56, 12 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"Please sign your posts, people"

Yeah, on the Zelda enemies, page, you cut into one of my comments to "remind me" to sign my post - which I already had, not two lines down.

Please read the section before complaining about other editors, because you might make yourself look ignorant.

And for goodness sake, don't post a comment just to bitch about people "not signing".KrytenKoro 09:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Zelda mm.JPG

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

Okay I did everything I was told to do. I apologize once again because I did not realize there was so much involved in uploading a photo.

Fair use rationale for Image:Jujubes.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jujubes.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
