[edit] Battle of Dyrrhachium (1081)

I have noticed old "mistake" in image Byzantiumforecrusades.PNG and you are last editor of this image so.... Serbia during this time do not exist and name need to be changes with Kingdom of Duklja or only Duklja. Hungary has annexed Croatia which will happen only in 1102 but this is greater problem which can wait +-20 years is not important). --Rjecina (talk) 19:44, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Not important. Only now I have noticed that this is crusader map on which everything is wrong. Borders of Seljuk Sultanate is from 1087, borders of Serbia is from 1265, borders of Byzantium are from 1087 and borders of Hungary is after 1102.--Rjecina (talk) 19:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TCM

Bevor Du dir so viel Arbeit machst mit etwas was doch sehr fraglich ist, wäre es mE angebracht, die Autoren auf der Diskussionsseite anzusprechen. Ich halte Deine Änderung (Großschreibung in teilweise Kleinschreibung) für unangebracht und möchte Dich hiermit um Rückänderung bitten. Vielleicht erbarmt sich aber auch jemand und wartet nicht auf Deine Re-Tat. Übrigens: Retat ist besser retard (manchmal).--Heinz-A.Woerding 14:26, 3. Sep. 2008 (CEST)

Ich finde nicht, dass das Ändern eines Großbuchstabens in einen Kleinbuchstaben "so viel Arbeit" war. Wenn das rückgängig zu machen nicht im Bereich der Möglichkeiten deutscher Wikipedianer liegt, ist es wirklich nicht sehr gut um die deutsche Wikipedia bestellt. — Timwi (talk) 12:31, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Translation

Hi, I'm 20-dude and I speak Spanish and English is my second language (which I love so much that I only edit the English wikipedia, haha). I was wondering if you could do me a little favor... Can you translate me this to English:

Ilch van der sar, guten tugan ier das track doitch gross volks dan bruten.

Thanks beforehand! And remember, if Spanish ever gives you troble, I'll be happy to return you the favor.--20-dude (talk) 01:32, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I don't even know what langauge that is supposed to be. It's certainly not German. It also doesn't yield any Google results, so I'm inclined to think it's probably gibberish. — Timwi (talk) 13:13, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

I thought so. I had the impression it has parts of German and parts of English. I think it is most probably bad German from somebody whose main language is Spanish, whose second language is English and has certain notion of German. It might also be confussing or coded on purpose. But you'd be the expert, what do you think? Do you have any idea of what is this person trying to say?--20-dude (talk) 22:06, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

As I said, I think it's gibberish. It does not mean anything. He's not trying to say anything, he's just trying to set you off on a fruitless and pointless search for a meaning that doesn't exist. — Timwi (talk) 18:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

That makes a lot of sense, actually. Thanks you a lot. --20-dude (talk) 02:08, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Place des Quinconces

Hast du Quellen, die belegen, dass der "Parade Square" in Warschau größer ist als der Place des Quinconces? Den Parade Square findet man nämlich nicht einmal im Artikel Warschau, geschweige denn steht dort, dass sich der größte Platz Europas in Warschau befände.

[edit] Fair use rationale for File:King of the Zoo (1).png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:King of the Zoo (1).png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file 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 '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 media 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. Jay32183 (talk) 00:24, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image permission problem with Image:CPIDL Russian - skol'ko.ogg

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:CPIDL Russian - skol'ko.ogg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, 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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Jay32183 (talk) 09:14, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Zurab & Kennedy photo

Hi. I notice you uploaded File:Eunice-zurab.jpg (also availible on Commons as File:Eunice Kennedy Zurab.Tsereli.jpg) some years ago. Nice photo! I see you got email permission-- would you still have that? If so, would you be able to email a copy to Wikipedia:OTRS or Commons:OTRS so it could be on the record? If not, do you still have contact info so that could be requested from whoever you emailed before? Also, if you have any additional info such as the date of the photo, and/or who the photographer was, it would be appreciated if you could add it. Thanks! Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 04:42, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
