Talk:Solar eclipse of July 20, 1944

Thanks for creating these solar eclipse pages - however, it looks like there have been a few cut and paste cock-ups. I am unsure what is correct info and what isn't in the infobox - the pic doesn't seem to show the right eclipse, the name in the infobox is wrong and I don't know about the other info, whether it refers to the 20 July 44 or 9 July 45 eclipse. It needs your attention! Thanks. 86.152.23.37 (talk) 13:42, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

WikiProjects Moon and Mars activity

Hello there! As part of an effort to determine how many active editors are present in the space-related WikiProjects, some changes have been made to the lists of members of WikiProject Moon (here) and Mars (here). If you still consider yourself to be an active editor either of these projects, it would be appreciated if you would please edit the list so that your name is not struck out - thus a clearer idea of the number of active editors can be determined. Many thanks in advance!

File permission problem with File:Solar eclipse 2099Sep14 Map usa.png

Thanks for uploading File:Solar eclipse 2099Sep14 Map usa.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the 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 CC-BY-SA 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-enwikimedia.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 take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.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:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File 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 created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. (just trying to do what's in the best interest of Wikipedia here) TimL (talk) 18:09, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

For when you get back

Solar eclipse of November 25, 2011 is listed as a stub. What would make it not a stub? This is a special case as it is not very notable, (I think there are other stubs of more significant eclipses and I have the same question for those as well). What makes a article on an individual solar eclipse not a stub? Especially eclipses such as this one which probably no one will ever see. If I were in new Zealand a sunset eclipse would be very interesting to me and that is in the article, but I can't see what can be done to these "stubs" to "de-stubify" them. I actually see them as legitimate well referenced articles rather than stubs. They usually have multiple charts for cross-referencing (thanks to you!) and an animation showing coverage among other details. Thanks. --TimL (talk) 11:14, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Lunar eclipse chart close-2018jul27.png

A tag has been placed on File:Lunar eclipse chart close-2018jul27.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sorry, I don't see much difference, and more work than I care about. SockPuppetForTomruen (talk) 21:51, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

I saw a rowspan that was off and was causing an improper border-rendering. And so I looked, and split it all into discrete tables instead of pairs bugged together. There were what, 56 tables? Not something I'm going to pursue. Happy editing, Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-1 (talk) 22:53, 15 October 2011 (UTC)

File copyright problem with File:Solar eclipse Sep 14 2099 over North America.png

Thank you for uploading File:Solar eclipse Sep 14 2099 over North America.png. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Ramaksoud2000 (talk) 21:42, 17 December 2011 (UTC)

Johnson duals

To make a dual for a polyhedron, you need to define a center. The center is obvious if the original has at least D or C_h symmetry, or if the vertices all lie on a sphere; not so obvious otherwise. Otherwise, ideally, there ought to be a notation about how the center was chosen (mean of the vertices? center of mass assuming constant density?) and conceding that the dual shown is only one of a family of equally legitimate duals. In my humble opinion. —Tamfang (talk) 00:28, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of spherical symmetry groups, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rotation group (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Hermit.org Rewrite

Hi, I'm writing to you because of the huge effort you've put in to eclipses -- for which thanks -- and because you've referenced hermit.org for many of them, particularly referencing lists of Saros eclipses.

I'm the maintainer of hermit.org, and I've just completed a site move and huge rewrite. The site is way better organised and a lot more efficient now; it's all in PHP, and all the URLs are "clean" (no implementation exposed).

Unfortunately, this means that all the Saros links have changed. Instead of this:

http://www.hermit.org/eclipse/gen_stats.cgi?mode=query&page=full&qtype=type&body=L&saros=132

we now have this:

http://moonblink.info/Eclipse/when/lunsaros/132

I've added a redirect rule to the hermit.org site, which should redirect all the CGI queries for Saros pages to the new-style link on moonblink.info. As far as I can see, this works, and since it returns a 301 code, I'm hoping that some automated link-rewriter will kick in and actually fix the links. (I think Wikipedia has such things, judging by bot activity on my site.)

So, I just thought I'd let you know, since this impacts what you've been doing. Hopefully the new addresses will be stable for a LONG time. Let me know if you need any other rewrite rules.

Cheers, johantheghost (talk) 16:17, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Johan, thanks for the update. I don't do scripting on Wikipedia, but it might be possible. The trick I've used is templates that hide the full URL, and so if the pages are moved to a different site, they can be changed in the template. I'll look what you have now when I get a chance. Hand-changing might not be so bad. Tom Ruen (talk) 17:56, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
