Non-free images at the GL

I appreciate the vector versions are on Commons, but the non-vectors are marked as non-free on Wikipedia, so cannot be displayed on this page. The formatting is hardly ideal, but this is a minor concern in comparison to the copyright one. I hope this is clear, but I'm happy to discuss the matter further if necessary. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 20:08, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

First you vandalize and then you discuss? What kind of attitude is this? These two logos are eligible to be moved to Commons and not non-free. --Leyo 23:36, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

Accusing me of vandalism is inappropriate, as you know. However, if you visit the three logos in question (File:Uis_logo_trans.png, File:HWL_MID_lock_up_E-R.jpg, File:Small_saicblue.png), they are all marked as copyrighted. Whether or not these logos are truly simple enough to be on Commons is not something I can comment on, not being an expert, but nonetheless we should not simply ignore the tags while they remain here on Wikipedia. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 06:42, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Not an expert, but also not giving a damn about the assessment of a local and Commons admin? --Leyo 02:42, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

If an admin wants to change the status of the file on Wikipedia, then by all means remove the tag. As it stands, those three are copyrighted logos on Wikipedia, so cannot be displayed. I am simply following policy to the letter. I do not understand how my actions have caused so much distress. NikNaks _{talk - gallery} 06:48, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

I undid your unneeded edit for the last time. These three free logos have been deleted since free vector versions exist. --Leyo 07:34, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

New workshop

Hey there. Please take a look at this proposal to start a new workshop in the graphic lab. Please add your views on this. Roshan220195 (talk) 15:17, 4 July 2012 (UTC)

Format for birds for identification

When you look at the WP talk page you will see that there is a structure for Birds for identification, which has been established for a long time. There is no need for the images to be visible. Lots of images go to the page for identification and so they can not all be visible all of the time. Snowman (talk) 15:05, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

It seems to be your structure according to what I found in the archive. --Leyo 15:33, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

It is the structure that is used most of the time by editors who edit bird articles. Snowman (talk) 17:39, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Scale rows in Chironius laurenti

Hey, since you have access to the paper can you confirm the "2 to 10 scale rows in males and 2 to 6 in females" description of Chironius laurenti by Reptilebase in Dixon et al.? It seems to be contradictory to the 12 scale rows midbody maximum also mentioned. I have a suspicion it refers to a specific part of the body, perhaps the head or tail, or perhaps it's an average.

Also as an aside, I discovered a description of C. laurenti before it was described by Dixon et al. in "The Snake Assemblage of the Pantanal at Poconé, Western Brazil: Faunal Composition and Ecological Summary (Strussmann & Sazima, 1993)". The authors were similarly unable to identify it as it was as of yet, an unknown species. -- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 18:22, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it says that on page 142 (section Diagnosis). It also says that C. laurenti is the only Chironius species with a combination of 12 scale rows at midbody, divided anal plate, 163–181 ventrals, 32–36 maxillary teeth […] --Leyo 18:46, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Ok thanks. Should be fine the way it is then.-- OBSIDIAN†SOUL 18:53, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 25

Hi. When you recently edited Chironius laurenti, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Dorsum (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

IUPAC polymer definitions

Hi Leyo, I see you've already been advising User:Rogerchiorns on Commons images, so I thought you might be interested to know that the IUPAC polymer folk would like to work with us on Wikipedia polymer terms - please see this post. I will insist that they source their image files and post them all on Commons, as you recommended. Comments welcome! Cheers, Walkerma (talk) 14:17, 8 September 2012 (UTC)

Template:IsLocal

Re:Template:IsLocal

Is it possible to get it to work with files like File:Cobalt ray-tracing, high-end coffee tamper.jpg? (without file on enwiki, but with filepage)? Bulwersator (talk) 07:27, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

The problem is that Template:ParmPart does not like commas and similar. The local page is not a problem (see e.g. File:2004-tsunami.jpg). --Leyo 11:05, 15 September 2012 (UTC)

Fixed. --Leyo 18:56, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

WP Chemicals in the Signpost

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Chemicals for a Signpost article. This is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 05:51, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

File:Hmd-reaction.PNG

Got an opinion about this? A different image exists under the same name on Commons, but if I've understood things correctly, both files are supposed to show the same thing. However, both the English and the Japanese articles contain lots of chemical terms which say very little to me; it's possible I've misunderstood something. Since the images are a bit different, does it mean that one of them is wrong, or do they show two different valid representations of the same thing? Also, do we really need both images? Ideally, the files would, of course, be in SVG format instead of PNG. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:08, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Both show the same thing and are of low quality. I suggest to bring the issue to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Chemistry, because enzyme reactions is not my topic. --Leyo 13:22, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

OK, I've tried there. --Stefan2 (talk) 13:55, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

File:Kirkjubaejarklaustur 1.jpg

Could you figure out whether this was copied to Commons or not? The source is claimed to be de:Datei:Kirkjubaejarklaustur.jpg, but that file has been deleted. If I've understood things right, it was deleted because it's available on Commons as File:Libellepaarung1.jpg, but that's clearly a different file. --Stefan2 (talk) 10:37, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

The file on Commons is File:KirkjubaejarklausturFloor.jpg. See also this version. --Leyo 09:26, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

old/new Likay article

Hallo Leyo, ich habe als Semesterprojekt meiner Thailaendischen Universitaet einen Wikipediaartikel ueber Likay (in Englisch) verfassen muessen und bin jetzt damit fertig. Irgendwie hab ich davor nicht gesehen, dass es bereits einen solchen Artikel gab und dieser geloescht wurde. Deshalb wollte ich mich erkundigen, weshalb der Artikel geloescht wurde?

Freundliche Gruesse, Dinkkk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinkkk (talk • contribs) 08:28, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Es scheint nichts gelöscht worden zu sein. Dein Entwurf ist unter User:Dinkkk/sandbox weiterhin verfügbar und auch Likay wurde nicht gelöscht.

Bitte schau dir mal Help:References an. --Leyo 11:07, 25 November 2012 (UTC)

Kopexil article

Leyo, regarding the Kopexil deletion nomination reversal: I have tried extensively, but been unable to find a reliable resource (ie. not associated with Kumar organics) that indicates kopexil and aminexil are the same medication. Could you please advise when you have a brief moment? Ramwithaxe talk 22:05, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

There is no reason for deleting the article, even if there is no proof of therapeutic effect. It is an actual chemical that has been used (see refs in article). BTW: There is some information on the wordmark Aminexil. --Leyo 00:19, 22 December 2012 (UTC)

Zurich article

I am curious why you reverted my edit removing the reference to Züri as Swiss German for Zurich? Your edit simply said Correct Term in Swiss German. I've made arguments otherwise, including the obvious ones in the edit description when I removed it. You did not address the argument. Reversion is not helpful, and lacks a proper reference. It is hard not take offense to this since zero effort was made to address the issues brought forward for why it is inappropriate to put Züri at the top as a Swiss German name in the global sense. The standard is that a proper reference is required for information included in Wikipedia. This is an English Wiki. Referencing another, flawed, Wiki article in another language hardly qualifies. If you are familiar with dialect, then you would know that pronunciations can differ greatly between different regions. How then would one propose to assert a global Swiss German pronunciation? Or spelling? I know for a fact that Züri is not used in other areas, Graubunden being one. I also know that Zürich would be used in dialect if for instance you were referening a section of the city, such as Zürich-Schwamendingen would typically become Zürich-Schwämmi. There is no reason it couldn't be Züri-Schwämmi. In fact, it would have to be if Zuri was the proper Swiss German. I really don't understand why it is so offensive to deal with this issue in the proper context in the text, making it plain that it is Züri dialect in addition? Please address the issue. If I'm wrong, if Zürich is hochtdeutsch, and you have a reference for that, I'd be very grateful to have the information. If I see no appropriate response to these issues in the near future, I will again delete the reference to Züri at the top of the article and expect not to have to deal with continual reversions for no justifiable reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.73.150.55 (talk) 21:00, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Don't be silly. A reference (in the lead) for such an obvious fact is superfluous. Don't you know Züritipp, Züri schlaflos, Züri Fäscht, TeleZüri or Züri-Slangikon? --Leyo 21:52, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

And you are the arbiter of right and wrong? How reasonable of you. I've given examples of WHY I think you are wrong. You refuse to address them DIRECTLY, and then add spurious NOISE with examples that are specious, given that at NO POINT have I denied the rampant use of the term Zuri. I've even referenced the importance of addressing the term PROPERLY and in slightly more depth than currently. That you can find examples of the term being used in no way contradicts the arguments put forward above. So perhaps YOU should stop being silly before this degenerates from a discussion to something else. I am reverting to my original edit. If you or anyone else changes it back without a justification that amounts to more than an argument of just-because, that will be 3. At which point my edit stands until a consensus is agreed. I had a reasoned argument for making my original edit. I've seen no counter-argument from anyone yet. That is not how this is supposed to go. Which begs the question of why you interjected yourself into the original discussion since you've added nothing new or constructive. Perhaps recruited to the cause? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.60.228.142 (talk) 12:35, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Please sign your comments and stop trolling. --Leyo 13:06, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting something here, I'm not so familiar with all the Wikipedia structures. If I'm correct, you have reverted my edit and accused me of vandalism? I'd like to make sure I'm not jumping to conclusions about your actions on my edit and confusing them with any other edits you may have made before I proceed with my response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.60.228.142 (talk) 08:57, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Please make an actual argument, rather than just an ad hominem. So far we have silly, and troll. What will you add next? How long till you call me Hitler? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.60.228.142 (talk) 08:46, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

You deleted the page Taylor Thompson, character on All My Children

All My Children is back as an internet soap on hulu.com, new fans are interested in the history of the show and previous fans from the televised version of the show want to research things that they missed or may have forgotten. Please restore the page and any other All My Children pages or characters that have been deleted. Thank you! 71.165.193.251 (talk) 02:33, 22 May 2013 (UTC)Karen May 21, 2013
