Canadian Dime - Error re 1967 Composition?

As of 31 Jan. 2013, I think that there is an error in the current Wikipedia entry for the Canadian dime ("Dime (Canadian Coin)"), with respect to the composition of the 1967 Canadian dime. This is the Canadian Centennial dime with a mackerel on the reverse.

The table states that the 1967 Canadian dime was minted with two compositions -- 80% silver, 20% copper and 50% silver, 50% copper. The Royal Canadian Mint web site states that all Canadian dimes from 1920 to 1967 were 80% silver, 20% copper. (accessed 31 Jan. 2013).

It is true that the 1967 Canadian quarter was made in two compositions, but apparently not the dime. 010114692a (talk) 16:01, 31 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have started deleting

red link names from the List of medallists article. SInce that is about 2/3 of the article I have limited myself to (1) artists from the United States, since I am more familiar with them, or (2) to artists who have no dates or references or anything after the name. I will also probably start some stubs just so that i don't seem like a total vandal. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 22:37, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, if I were you, whom I'm definitely not, I'd restored the info deleted and unlinked that which disturbs you, after all this is a free encyclopedia and nobody can tell you what to do, right ? Some would call it "common sense", yes, I guess that's the word. Krenakarore ^TK 14:12, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Are you willing to assure me that all the red linked medalists are in fact notable medalists? Or medalists at all? If you feel that they belong anyway, regardless of who the names might be, it's a free encyclopedia, put them back. And, as sort of a side note, to me, "common sense" is one of the 27 words or phrases that mean in my opinion. Carptrash (talk) 16:16, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your words reflect to me who you are. It's not what you say, it's how. I just called your attention to something that might have not struck your head. That's right, there are many who might not be considered notable at all. I just said you can do whatever. Common sense implies in not being regarded as dumb by the others once you know they know you can't deny the obvious. Krenakarore ^TK 19:59, 4 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Like "common sense" the word "obvious" is, to me, just another word for in my opinion because what is obvious to one person very often is not obvious at all to someone else. But I certainly do agree with you that my words reflect who I am, or at least I hope that they do. Carptrash (talk) 15:23, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see you got the message, that's cool, thanks. Krenakarore ^TK 02:17, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Dutch East India Company

Hello, I'm planning on creating an article for Coinage of the Dutch East India Company and wondered if anyone might be willing to give me a hand? It's not a subject, unfortunately, that I have much expertise on, but historically useful. All best, ---Brigade Piron (talk) 10:35, 19 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

See: Netherlands Indies gulden Krenakarore ^TK 15:15, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am familiar with the article in question, but (a) it does not cover the full scope of the topic, (b) it is only partially about the VOC occupation, most of it is about the Dutch period...---Brigade Piron (talk) 17:05, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wish I had time for a real endeavor like this. Make a stub please. Best Krenakarore ^TK 17:12, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Done! --Brigade Piron (talk) 13:47, 16 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RFC on images of currencies in "currency summary" articles

I've started an RFC at WT:NFC#RFC: Images in currency articles as to resolve a conflict in policy in the use of currency images in currency "summary" articles (and not affecting pages about specific individual denominations). I know that this issue has been discussed before but we need to correct one part of policy or another that would either allow or disallow mass use of non-free currency images. --MASEM (t) 03:37, 21 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Picture request

Hello, I'm looking for a decent picture of a silver 1 Franc coin of Leopold I (preferably dated 1833) for infobox of the article on the Belgian franc. Does anyone have one they can add? --Brigade Piron (talk) 13:48, 24 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you can contact User:Johann Wolfgang, one of the creators and mainteneurs of this WikiProject. His last edit dates from 2 January 2013, or you can also try Google Images and request permission. The same for Ebay, although I think you won't find such specific item there. Another thing would be to visit a numismatics shop and ask permission to photograph one coin both sides.

u currency sign

I'm working on MediCinema and an article mentioned a dontation of u410,000, but I'm unable to find the "u" currency symbol definition. Do you know what it means? Thanks!--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:23, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In a subsequent article the currency sign (for nearly the same amount of money) was ₤, so maybe the u was a typo. Since it was regarding a donation by The Royal British Legion, ₤ makes sense.--CaroleHenson (talk) 19:39, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Spanish peseta

I find it odd that the article for the old Spanish currency was moved to Peseta. For consistency purposes shouldn't all currencies be named with the country? 80.42.113.224 (talk) 08:02, 14 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Color and currency

Hi. Sorry I didn't drop a note here when I changed the project-page's background color (per MOS:COLOUR and MOS:ACCESS#Color). The new light-grey/silver (#c0c0c0) that ‎Krenakarore chose is a bit better than the old darker-grey/silver (#848482). I was primarily changing it for general accessibility (people with poor eyesight, who strain when there is a low contrast between the text-color and background-color), but for future reference the Wikiline tool is quite good for approximating the different forms of color-blindness.

Just FYI, I was originally at the page because I was looking/checking for background details, in regards to answering this question: WP:VPI#Currency Converter - Possibly someone here can improve on, or correct, my explanation. Thanks :) –Quiddity (talk) 17:10, 15 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is for everyone... and maybe we change the color again someday. You're welcome...:) ! Krenakarore ^TK 06:45, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I created this stub, though the page can be moved if the article name is incorrect.
