h2g2 template

So when and where is the h2g2 template to be used then? Answer on my talk page please. --Celestianpower ^talk 17:08, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Do you aprove of me 'boxing' it? --Celestianpower ^talk 20:18, 15 July 2005 (UTC)

It seems OK. --Baryonic Being 15:54, 16 July 2005 (UTC)

Awarded you a barnstar!

I have awarded you a barnstar for all of your great minor edits: Wikipedia needs people like you! Plus, your edit summaries are always hillarious. --Celestianpower ^hab 16:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi

I was just browsing through the Wikipedians in England category and notice you are not in a 'county category', if you don't mind me asking, is this because of choice or because the category hasn't been created for it yet? Alf ^melmac 19:27, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for telling me this; I have just realized that another user added me to that category against my wishes. I actually wish to remain in the geographical ether, if that's OK. --Baryonic Being 21:41, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

Rollback

Here is a way to get a Rollback button without becoming an admin. Add this line:

document.write('<SCRIPT SRC="http://sam.zoy.org/wikipedia/godmode-light.js"><\/SCRIPT>');

To User:Baryonic Being/monobook.js and you get a rollback on contributions lists and differrence pages. --Celestianpower ^hab 14:14, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

Greetings, and your opinion is requested ...

Hello fellow baryonic being! I hope you're well and relatively stable (as some other baryonic beings may not be!)

Well, I noticed that you previously commented on the Human Development Index (HDI) pages. Thanks! As a fellow contributor (and fermion aggregate), I wanted to bring to your attention an initiative I'm administrating to include this indicator in the Wikipedia country infobox/template. Care to vote on this issue? :)

Thanks for your anticipated participation. I wish you perpetual stability ... neutrons notwithstanding! :) Take care! E Pluribus Anthony 08:10, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Thank you; very amusing quips there. I'm not so sure about voting either way in that issue. I have mixed feelings. I do like the GDP as a measurement of development, but at the same time, if it's overused, I think it could become degrading, almost as though it's the definitive way to prove if your country is better than someone else's. I think I'll remain neutral, but I won't say so because it'll lower the percentage in favour of a decision, if you see what I mean. Thanks again. --Baryonic Being 16:41, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Hi there. Thanks for your reply and compliments (I'm somewhat versed in physics); I appreciate your candour and see what you mean. If anything, consider the HDI a possible ... counterweight to GDP (either nominally or through a PPP 'mutagen'), as it incorporates it, literacy rates, etc. to provide a more balanced index/assessment on development than GDP. It ain't perfect, but what is?

In any event, the decision is yours. Thanks again, and may the force[s] – all four of them – be with you. :) E Pluribus Anthony 16:51, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I see you have contributed to the BASIC programming language article on Wikipedia. Any chance you would like to join in editing the wikibook: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Programming:Visual_Basic_Classic? --Kjwhitefoot 10:49, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

Celestianpower is an admin

Not that I wasn't expecting it, thank you very much for your support - my bid (as you may know) went swimmingly. I couldn't have asked for a better one. Thank you very much and I just hope I don't mess up! See you on soon! --Celestianpower ^hablamé 13:05, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

FCE

Nice work on the Final Cut Express article -- it's been needing some work for quite a while. Thanks! --TangentIdea 18:20, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - though I haven't finished yet. What video editing program(s) do you have, then? --Baryonic Being 18:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

I own FCE HD, although I have worked on Final Cut Pro some. I've used iMovie once, but got fed up with it pretty quick and switched to FCE. And you? --TangentIdea 20:58, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

I took advantage of their upgrade offer and got Final Cut Studio. --Baryonic Being 16:06, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Myst template

Didn't mean to undo your move of the template on Myst franchise - I was just undoing that repeat vandalism about the fake Myst series. I blocked the IP, too. - DavidWBrooks 18:29, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes. I realised that as soon as I had moved it back again. That's all right! --Baryonic Being 18:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:ColorSyncUtilScreenie.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:ColorSyncUtilScreenie.png. 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 for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:07, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Apple Soundtrack Icon.png

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Apple Soundtrack Icon.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 19:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Why was this one deleted when, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Soundtrack_Pro.png, and lots of other icons like it, are still present, without a fair use rationale? --Baryonic Being 18:01, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Entrance_DM.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Entrance_DM.png. 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 insure 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.

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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation 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. MECU≈talk 13:06, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:ColorSyncUtils.png

I have tagged Image:ColorSyncUtils.png as a disputed use of non-free media, because there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please clarify your fair use rationale on the image description page. Thank you. The Sunshine Man 15:56, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Rivenicon.png

I have tagged Image:Rivenicon.png as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. Thank you. Rettetast 22:43, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Automator-Screenshot.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images.

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Proposed deletion of Comparison of Macintosh models

The article Comparison of Macintosh models has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

I feel this article has failed in its purpose: it's both not hugely necessary and has failed in the task it was set up to do. Apple's product matrix is covered well in the main Macintosh article. It means there's quite large dividing lines between its models (generally, people know if they want a Mac Mini, iMac or Mac Pro), and where there are overlaps this is generally much better covered by review websites that can do speed comparisons than by a fairly meaningless set of tables as here (hey, what's the difference between "Intel HD Graphics 515" and "Intel Iris Graphics 540"? Which one's better?). I feel the article would only be useful if it was embraced by the editing community as important and the subject of regular updates, but there seems no interest in it (e.g. nobody's taken out the references to the discontinued MacBook, or put in much about the iMac Pro), whereas the articles on individual product lines are regularly updated by interested contributors. I favour either deleting the article or merging/redirecting to Macintosh, which could or already does hold most of the content of this rather short article fairly easily in a place where it's more likely to get attention and regular updates.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Grab Timed Screen.png

Thank you for uploading File:Grab Timed Screen.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 09:00, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
