[edit] Process Explorer screenshot

Is there a reason the image is not a 1:1 bit ratio? I have the same software, and I'd be willing to update the screenshot. Or is there a legal problem here? Also, the value of the Summary item "Low resolution?" should be changed to true until further modification. The image: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Process_Explorer_Screenshot.png Rj.amdphreak (talk) 06:35, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

I didn't create the original image. The original image was probably significantly larger than it should of been, as it is non-free media. Wikipedia is using this image under the guidelines set for fair-use. Because it specifies that images be of a low resolution, I just resized this image through paint. So, basically, yes, there is a bit of a legal problem with it being of a larger resolution. As for the 1:1 ratio, when I resized it, it was probably already uneven, and I just decreased by it 60%-70% (I can't imagine it being much larger than that). Does that explain it?

[edit] Deletion of iJango

Dear Leonard,

I just noticed that my post for IJango has been removed. I also noticed your comments on my page Luiscolorado.

I would like to request a temporary undeletion of the article, but the procedure says that first I should contact the administrator. I'm not sure how to contact the administrator, so I am writing you first.

Two main reasons were posted for the deletion:

1. Irrelevance of the product. 2. It was being frequently edited by a "new" user and converted in an unacceptable article (blatant publicity).

I am not sure if the first argument - relevance - matters at all. iJango is a scam, and my main purpose was to expose it as such. I considered that this had a double merit: (1) document the existence of this scam, and (2) help people who was not sure if this was a real way to make money, or it was a scam.

About argument 2 -- constant attempts to "fix" the article -- I would say that that is an unfortunate side effect of the open collaboration environment of Wikipedia. Many other articles have been victims of vicious and repeated attacks, vandalism, malicious edits, etc., and that has not been a reason for deletion, but rather for protection.

At this point I am asking for your advice. I would like to have the article temporarily restored and restricted of any changes, to see its history after I created it, and then restore it or enhance it, and have it protected from malicious changes. However, maybe I should just put it in a list of known scams (I have not checked out yet if there is an article like that).

I don't remember creating an article that was deleted before, so I am asking you for your help to figure out the best way to handle this situation.

Thank you for your time, and I am looking forward to receiving your response.

Best wishes,

Luis —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luiscolorado (talk • contribs) 17:41, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

You can contact either User:X!, User:Mikaey, or User:Accounting4Taste, all admins who deleted the page at one time or another. They can recreate the page for you in userspace, which will allow you to fix, expand, or alter the article unmolested by anyone else. Hope this helps, Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 17:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] File:4 Seasons of Lonliness (Cover).jpg

Hello there, you marked File:4 Seasons of Lonliness (Cover).jpg as a duplicate for speedy delete, however this is the one in use. Do you want to switch to the other one, or delete the other one? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 12:04, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Because they are both of the same resolution, the decision I made as to which one was going to be marked as a duplicate was based upon which one had the full FUR (they both did) and then the title. The original image used in the article misspelled loneliness. I've added the {{non-free album cover}} to the other image, and changed the image on the article as well. Thanks for notifying me. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 14:34, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

I was changing the picture on my userpage today and decided to scroll down to see how you did the userboxes and must say that I am very appreciative of the notes you left in regards to their creation. :) Warmly, –Katerenka (talk • contribs) 03:17, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

You're very welcome. :) I like the choice of a background, and I'm glad the blue userboxes still work. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 03:19, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Raaaaaaaandy

Thanks for the Raaaaaaaandy redirect. I admit I want it because I forget how to spell his real name, which is not that hard; but there are plenty of sources on him that show this redirect, and I think it will serve readers who come to wikipedia for popular culture articles. Certainly it will be more convenient for me than having to go to google and type in Raaaaaaaandy, then copy and paste Aziz whatever. Yes, I know his name isn't that hard! --69.225.5.183 (talk) 05:15, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia serves the readers first and foremost. Hopefully there are no hard feelings about the initially declined status; you have to admit, it's a bit of a stretch, but you backed up your claims, so it's all good now. If you need anything else, ask. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 15:48, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh, my bad, and after this you still posted the David R. Smith article? Thanks. --69.225.5.183 (talk) 05:47, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 14:16, 16 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free image (File:AMW Wanted.jpg)

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aspects (talk) 18:47, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Editor review archived

Since it has been well over 30 days since you requested to be reviewed, I've gone ahead and archived your request as part of my effort to cleanup Editor Review. You may view your review here.

		For all your work at the redirects project. Through all the times an IP has decided to create tens and tens of redirect requests at one time, you've continued to do great work, keep it up! GrooveDog • i'm groovy. 23:09, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much Mr. Dog. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 23:11, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Sunshadow

Meant to do this earlier in the day, and real life conspired to make me forget. Sorry!

Just a friendly heads up on Sunshadow. I've restored the article per a request at WP:REFUND -- as an expired prod, this is considered an uncontroversial restoration. However, I advised the editor who requested it that notability isn't obvious as it stands, and the article could easily end up at AfD. Proceed as you please. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:51, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Ah. Well, I'm currently busy, but unless it can be dramatically improved upon to meet notability standards, I'll probably take it to AfD. Thanks for notifying me. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 00:53, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

:) --Katerenka (talk) 05:30, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem. Out of curiosity, did you ever get my email? Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 05:32, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Not if you sent it between October 25th and a few days ago. Not sure what happened to my gmail account, but it decided to wipe itself clean. If you have a copy, I'd appreciate you sending it to the new email that I've enabled in my preferences (Yahoo this time). :) --Katerenka (talk) 05:34, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Sham you had to change. I'd choose gmail over yahoo any day. I'll type it back up. Expect an email in a few. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 05:35, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I agree, I miss a lot of the features and perks of gmail; yahoo is terrible. We'll see how this goes, though. I suppose if worse comes to worse, I can always use my university email. I'll be looking forward to your correspondence. :) --Katerenka (talk) 05:38, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

The Special:EmailUser page is giving me an error. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 05:46, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

I suppose that it helps to confirm your email address. ;) Should be fixed now. --Katerenka (talk) 05:48, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Sadly, nyet. It's still giving me an error. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 05:50, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Ugh. This is ridiculous. It works for me, hmm. I've sent you an email from it with my address. I'll try and figure out what's going on in the meantime. --Katerenka (talk) 05:52, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Responded. It's a bit tl;dr, and I might be gone by the time you respond. My apologies in advance if that is the case. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 06:04, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

No problem, I'm glad that the email I sent you arrived and will respond ASAP. :) --Kate (talk) 06:09, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] vandalism on katerenka's talk page

can you please explain how i vandalized the page? I didn't mean to, I just wanted to add a comment on her talk page. Zelysion (talk) 05:40, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Actually, I have made a severe error. I read through your initial message too quickly. The heading (all caps) and first few sentences made it seem like you were pronouncing her talk page as a page to be deleted. I reverted too quickly, and you have my most sincere apologies. She has responded on your talk page, so I hope what you need to say is said without disruption. Again, I am sorry. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 05:43, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

No worries. Just worried I did something wrong. You never know with all the rules on this site. =]

Thanks! Zelysion (talk) 05:50, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Very true. There are a lot of policies and guidelines. If you ever need help, feel free to ask. It's the least I can do. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 05:51, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Email

You have some. :) @Kate (talk) 09:38, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I noticed. :P Gmail is fun like that. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 09:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Must be nice. ;) @Kate (talk) 09:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the timely response. I wouldn't have much else to say besides repeating my initial email, so I'll just tell you that I read it, and thank you. :) Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 09:55, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Howzit man :-)

I'm just responding with regard to my uploading of images which I've been told don't have sufficient copyright information...

If I own the actual Parlotones music albums, and I scan the covers onto my computer, does that effectively give me ownership of the image?

As far as I know (and I've read through the booklet) the copyright on the album only applies to the music and not to the album art...

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realkingoftheuniverse (talk • contribs) 11:05, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

No, sorry. That's not exactly how it works. First, buying the album does not mean you hold the copyright. The publisher (or this case label) still holds the copyright to all the materials on the item: music, album art, etc. Second, the booklet may not list the copyright for the album art. It may be on the back somewhere; I'm not sure. But it's copyrighted nonetheless. Sorry. To understand how you can use the image, please look over WP:NFC, the policy on non-free content. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 01:23, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

:) I keep hoping they'll get bored and go away; hasn't happened yet, tho. @Kate (talk) 04:00, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

The user has been blocked already. Their boredom shouldn't be a problem anymore. :) Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 04:02, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Yep, and Ed was kind enough to semi my talk for 6 hours. Maybe they'll go play elsewhere. :) @Kate (talk) 04:11, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Hope so. The best, Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 04:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
