OiNK Image

Sorry for the late response. The original design was by a user on Oink, but the large one on Wikipedia was made by me. I remade it since the original design was small. So I guess you can do whatever you want with it. Not sure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cubfan789 (talk • contribs) 04:45, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh. I just wondered if the original creator released it under any free license? Otherwise I can't exactly upload it, except as fair use. › (☎∆✎) 06:54, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

the arpeggio!!!!

Hi, I'm Andy and I really..really like the arpeggio and I made a wikipedia account just to talk about it. Im not sure how I came across the page, but im a frequent wikipedia user and I really like the sample to the point where I used google to find any kind of similar sounds and I could not find one. I was wondering if you made a whole song or just those 30 seconds, and if you did, if I could get it to download because it was amazing, or if you know any classical groups similar to your creation. I really appreciate the sample and hope you can help me out!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by AndarooDude (talk • contribs) 03:02, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I've been thinking of finishing the piece, but right now that's all there is to it. Perhaps in the near future. › (☎∆✎) 10:38, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

Seitseminen National Park

What is the fauna of this park? (talk) 14:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

I will add a section about it soon! › (☎∆✎) 14:28, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Vector image request

I noticed you created the list-class icon (). I was wondering if you could change the color of the B-class icon () to match the color of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team Assessment's color (which is #c8fb7b). I tried contacting Sir Iain, but he hasn't responded for a while. Thanks, Xnux the Echidna 13:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Done. › (☎∆✎) 07:33, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Any chance you could create an icon for templates? The color they use is pink. Let me know. Thanks! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 01:25, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Flag of Macedonia (Greece)

Hej hej, do you know who designed or enacted the flag of Macedonia (Greece) and when? Or know anything about this flag. Feel free to email me on the topic as well or write in my talk page. Tnx a lot. Moi moi. (Toci (talk) 18:36, 25 June 2008 (UTC))

There's info about the flag at Flags of the World. › (☎∆✎) 07:37, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

fast request from Photo Editor in Washington, DC

July 1, 2008

Dear Mysid,

Please forward your email address and reply asap/immediately to Hollmarsh1@aol.com.

I found your improved drawing of the map of Biafra at http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Biafra.svg while doing photo research for a textbook publisher on a project. I thought your image might be appropriate for inclusion in a literature curriculum.

I am specifically seeking to confirm that you are the creator of this improved illustration, based on the original work of Željko Heimer (who I am in touch with). I seek your permission to possibly publish it within the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License Version 1.2 and any other applicable laws.

With your permission, we will credit you for your work in the image's permanent description page. Please explicitly state the credit line you require, for example, Courtesy Mysid.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience. We are in a hurry to confirm the images that will be used.

Thank you,

Holly Marshall Photo Researcher for Pearson Digital Learning Group Washington, D.C.

Hello

Hello! :) Thanks for adding yourself to the "Wikipedians interested in feminism" category. I just wanted to say that you might be interested in this, if not that's okay. Happy editing! --Grrrlriot (talk) 00:32, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! It surely looks interesting. I'll consider joining. :-) › (☎∆✎) 05:33, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Great! :) Just sign your name under "Participants", if you decide to join. Thanks! -- (♠ ♣ ♦) 17:28, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Just did that ^^ › (☎∆✎) 20:03, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Great! :) Thanks! Have a nice day. -- (♠ ♣ ♦ ♥ †) 20:16, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Chromosome images

Hello,

I noticed the chromosome ideogram images you have created, such as Image:Chromosome 2.svg. I just wanted to say that although the NIH website displays these ideograms sideways with the short arm (p) on the left and the long arm (q) to the right, it is almost universally accepted that when chromosome ideograms are displayed in a vertical manner, as you have done, the shorter (p) arm is at the top. I understand that the orientation of the text labels makes this impractical for these particular images, but this convention for displaying the p arm at the top is so well established that it is used as a standardisation to aid those who need to learn to recognise the banding patterns under the microscope. I cannot offer anything better, but I would suggest that maybe they should be displayed in a sideways orientation which at least avoids the up-side-down situation. The images make a great contribution to the chromosome articles. Jaypc (talk) 13:13, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction. I'll see what I can do about it ASAP! › (☎∆✎) 13:15, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

I've flipped all the chromosome images upside down now, as seen in the thumbnail on the right. I hope they are correct! By the way, I've left several chromosomes completely undrawn, for example Image:Chr-21.jpeg, because I didn't know what the dashed part is supposed to be. Would you happen to have any ideas as to how to depict it? Thanks. › (☎∆✎) 08:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Topographic Maps: if need more...

Hello, I seen you Image:Topographic_map_of_Cape_Verde-en.svg, really nice. You say you made your maps following User:Bamse style.
I seen that Legend seems to follow Sting's conventions (the leader when we talk about SVG topographic maps on wikipedia), if you not yet did it, you can take a look at his gallery of upload and at his recent convention proposal : Image:Maps_template-fr.svg. This conventional colors, icons, fonts, are proposed to uniformize our maps. You can also look at Sémhur's gallery, he is more specialised into historico-topographic SVG maps. I also notice that User:JaneVannin plan to translate some Sting's SVG topographic tutorials.
We (mainly French and German wiki-cartographers) are also trying to set up global map convention, that's still really slow, but your advices are welcome : we need more advice to build a legitimate consensus. See: Commons_talk:Project_Mapmaking_Wiki_Standards. Euh... J'ai fais le tour de la question. Je te poste ca, a toi de voir ce qui te sera utile. Bonne route. Yug 10:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:ΜTorrent icon.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:ΜTorrent icon.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:Cefaclor structure.svg

Hi Mysid, there seem to be a few extra methyl groups in this structure—see Image:Cefaclor.svg :) I've replaced it in the cefaclor article, but if you have time to fix your version, please do! Best, Fvasconcellos (t·c) 19:01, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the correction! Now that there is a correct version around, I think my version is really redundant. › (☎∆✎) 10:55, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:Flag of NATO.svg

It seems you are the real creator and therefore the copyright owner for the image Image:Flag of NATO.svg. Why do you label it as Non-Free? The images at the NATO web site are poor quality bitmaps, not the SVG file you created from scratch. Perhaps you may give it a free license and add the {{Insignia}} template to cover possible restrictions of use. Sv1xv (talk) 08:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

There was a lengthy discussion about this. Some people claimed that NATO owns the copyright to the flag, and as my SVG is merely a derivative work of the bitmaps on their page, it can only be used under fair use. › (☎∆✎) 20:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

I started a discussion on Wikimedia Commons about the subject Commons talk:Licensing. It seems some people on Commons get paranoid about copyright issues. I don't believe your SVG file is a copyright violation because it is original creative work from scratch (a compass sign, four arcs, four lines on a blue filed) and you don't use any elements from the bitmap. NATO's restrictions on the use of their flag is covered by "insignia". Sv1xv (talk) 05:08, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

It's great to see it's being discussed again... but I doubt it will reach a different conclusion. See Commons:Deletion requests/Image:Flag of NATO.svg. › (☎∆✎) 20:35, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I am also disappointed with some copyrigt-related discussions on Commons. It seems that a bunch of elderly admins and users enjoy addopting extreme pro-copyright views and use them to abuse other users. I could name User:Superm401 and User:Rama as such. It seems they don't really care about the issue, they just try to score some points agains other users. Sv1xv (talk) 07:53, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

They seemed to be right on this matter, though. › (☎∆✎) 19:06, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I still don't see it. I don't know how Commons is really run behind the scenes, but I am disappointed. Sv1xv (talk) 19:33, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Atmosphere layers

Hey Mysid, Let's do it. Atmosphere Layer's Put on the turkish version.ok .lady. I see you.--88.234.92.74 (talk) 09:19, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

You can translate the SVG; I don't know Turkish at all. › (☎∆✎) 20:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
