Thats a great article!!!! One thing though you forgot to mention one of Cambodia's most famous painters Vann Nath who survived S21. Incidentally I created the Cambodian clothing article. Feel free to expand it. Great! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 19:23, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

== EDIT WAR ==

User Opinoso don´t respond to my messages about stop deleting a sourced and researched image I provided for the article Rio de Janeiro. He just stated on the history page that the picture is not aestethically good to the article, and "anyway, old flags are not important". He is in an edit war with me, he just erases the picture, showing a biased judgement. And, worst, he deleted my messages asking for him to stop deleting the image I provided.

Missing image Image:Snowy Plover.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Snowy Plover.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Snowy Plover.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Snowy Plover.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Request

Hello Calliopejen1. I have a request. Could you look at this image: [[1]]. The uploader claims that it is a "PD" of John Melendez, but to me it seems suspicious. It isn't even sourced and the article has been subjected to POV's in the past. I think that it is a good candidate for deletion. If so, I was wondering if you would do the honors since I'm not very good at the deletion process thing. Cheers! Tony the Marine (talk) 01:26, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request review

Hi, could you check whether the fair use rationale for this image is complaint with site policy? Image:Tunnels uncovered in Rafah.jpg It's been marked for speedy and contested; I'm mentoring the editor who uploaded it. Help would be appreciated. Durova^Charge! 20:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Climate chart

Hi. I noticed your edits to the climate chart template (shrinking the box). It's fine that the box is smaller, but the template is now broken for places with wet winters, because the temperature bars cover the tops of precipitation bars completely. In short, there was a good reason for the columns being so wide. I will revert your edits for now, and you can try shrinking the template without breaking it if you wish. Regards, Zocky | picture popups 16:22, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I just figured out that you did much more than that. Nice work. Can we get the blue columns back to double the width of red columns so the template works correctly? Zocky | picture popups 16:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Amis

Hi Calliopejen1: Do you know how to do a good crop of a photograph? I added a portrait of Martin Amis to the Martin Amis article, but it has a lot of extra stuff around his head. Nice stuff but takes away the focus from his facial features. Could you help me in any way?-Dwindle dwindle (talk) 01:06, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Tom Pyne.jpg

Greetings, At 06:36, 12 October 2007 you deleted Image:Tom Pyne.jpg with the rational of "replaceable image of a living person: a free image without the mayor's medallion would be perfectly adequate". I have spoken to the Media and Public Relations manager of Cairns City Council and he has agreed to release the image to the Public Domain - Just like he did for Image:Kevin Byrne.jpg. Can you please restore the image so I can change the tag? Fosnez (talk) 15:48, 15 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photo quizz of sort ?

Hey Calliopejen, long time :) I hope you gonna go out of your wikibreak soon because I think you're greatly missed on the Fashion WikiProject. Anyways, I just saw your post on the project's discussion page about those pictures from flickr that you needed to put names on, well I added a few of them. Just wanted to tell you that. Hope to hear from you soon! Thiste (talk) 04:43, 20 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request

Hello my old friend Calliopejen1, I have a request. I would like you to check the images added to List of Puerto Ricans by another editor. Since you seem to be more aware of the policies in regard to images. If you consider that they should not placed there, please do the right thing. Thank you .

Orphaned non-free media (Image:THEWAVE.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:THEWAVE.JPG. 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) 19:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mali

Hi, I noticed that you added Mali to the articles that you helped to clean up. However, I haven't seen you really active in cleaning the article up or researching the article for GA. I am wondering why you added the article to your "articles you have accomplished" even if you didn't do any prior work on it. My plan is after getting Burundi GA to work on this article for FA. I don't readily know what your plans are. Can you please enlighten me what your plans are? miranda 21:49, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I did not know that. Sorry. miranda 22:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WJCU1.jpg

I am not sure I completely understand why you tagged the photo wjcu1.jog for deletion. What exactly is freely licensed media and where it could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information? Also, if the subject agrees to make wjcu1.jpg freely licenced, is there a way I should tag it as such, to avoid deletion? Radioinfoguy (talk) 23:00, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for the quick reply. The photographer is the one that gave me the photo and I just spoke to him and have his permission to use it. Is there a tag I should use, to identify that I have the photographer's permission? Radioinfoguy (talk) 23:25, 27 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of image: Ahad's Sphere - why???

You say it was a copyright violation, when that image has been floating around in the public domain for yonks. Who owns the copyright? Uranometria (talk) 19:10, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MJ pictures

Hi there, I was reading your user page and I noticed that you like to find free pictures. You are an angle with wings. As I'm sure you have seen from the Michael Jackson article, picture wise it's very boring, but it's all we have (I have checked commons). The article's pictures are not balanced. For example, we have no pictures of Jackson before the 1980's. We have 3 pictures of Jackson in the 1980's, 1 in the 1990's (which is actually just a fair use music video pic) and 1 from the 2000's. Another consideration, we have no picture of Jackson performing live (that's really important). Another thing we could do with is more pictures that clearly show Jackson's vitiligo, although these are rare Gems to get hold of. Would this be something you could help with? I particularity feel that Jackson's 90's and live image is seriously sub standard. — Realist² (Speak) 21:14, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the detailed reply. From the freely licensed pictures these 4 would be helpful (not just solely for the MJ article either):

http://www.flickr.com/photos/provoost/214007159/

http://www.flickr.com/photos/click-see/25803643/

As for searching through the 18,000 pictures, I did do an in depth look a while back but because I have no understanding of picture policy I never really knew what I was looking for. Unless there was a big flag screaming "I'M FREE, I'M FREE, TAKE ME, TAKE ME" I just ignored them. So those 4 pictures would be wonderful, after that it's a case of giving those 1000's of pictures a looking through, most of those have NOTHING to do with him lol. — Realist² (Speak) 22:48, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, I have no idea, there were many of those statues made all over Europe, in promotion of the album. Some were permanent installations, others were up for the promotion period of the record and some where floated down famous rivers. Obviously I would favor the picture without the McDonalds sign, its a nicer closer up with better coloring. — Realist² (Speak) 01:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Infact that statue has really good lighting, you should nominate it as a featured picture, it's a beautiful piece IMHO.— Realist² (Speak) 01:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello Jen, so you go to Harvard, very impressive. You really must be close to perfect in real life, you should be proud of yourself, in the future to be a Harvard graduate, wow! And to be doing law, geez that is something. A bit too much for me :P In all seriousness, can you take a look at this article which was created yesterday (my time zone) and see if it belongs in the pedia? I really do think it can be speedied, whats your opinion? I just cant think of the right criteria. Thanks, all the best with your studies.

Human trafficking in Suriname

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Human trafficking in Suriname, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/country,,,ANNUALREPORT,SUR,4562d94e2,484f9a3e32,0.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Niger and Economy of Niger

Please be careful when making such large edits. Economy of Niger now has a huge amount of duplication which must be corrected. Also, is there any reason Niger should contain no content about the economy other than an internal link? There may well be some Wikipedia directive that I have not seen on this, and I would appriciate your guidance on this. But the logical end of such moves is that national articles (such as Niger) would contain no content apart from internal links to the topics covered elsewhere. I'm not trying to be difficult here, but please do note that this huge and seemingly indisriminate edit creates much work for those of us who are trying to maintain this article. Thanks, T L Miles (talk) 13:40, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
