[edit]>Hallo, zou jij deze afbeelding ook in de nederlandse wikipedia willen uploaden?
- Nee, ik heb het niet zo met de NL Wikipedia - te veel eigenwijze administrators... Je kunt de foto zelf ophalen van http://members.home.nl/jbmeijer/d27.htm en uploaden. MH 13:46, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Question about font
[edit]Hi Gurch, i`m making banners for the Dutch Wikipedia and I wanted to ask you what font you used on this banner:
.
I have made a dutch version of this banner, you can see it at nl:Afbeelding:WikiBanner-voorbeeld.gif. FANSTAR 17:42, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- The font is Gill Sans (the font used by the Wikimedia Foundation) – Gurch 21:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- And what version of it did you use? FANSTAR 21:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- The version that comes with Microsoft Office ... though I don't think there's any significant difference – Gurch 21:35, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
- And what version of it did you use? FANSTAR 21:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
(reduce indent) You can use GIMP (free software) to make banners. That's what I usually use. Miranda 01:09, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- I use PSP FANSTAR 08:02, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I saw your creation of banners on the nl project, and I am very excited that the banners have spread to other languages. Unfortunately due to the copyright issues, fair use, such as this are in violation of usage of the picture. For the ads, we generally use free use images (such as GFDL located on Wikimedia Commons or on public domain related sites). Thanks. Miranda 01:08, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- Those are free images from commons. FANSTAR 08:03, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
- My apologies. Didn't see the source of the image. Miranda 11:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:Now or Never (album).jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Now or Never (album).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
PLEASE NOTE:
- I am a bot, and will therefore not be able to answer your questions.
- I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used in an article once again.
- If you receive this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.
- To opt out of these bot messages, add
{{bots|deny=DASHBot}}to your talk page. - If you believe the bot has made an error, please turn it off here and leave a message on my owner's talk page.
Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 05:36, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Edits
[edit]Hiya, I came across your recent edit at Rotterdam and noticed that whilst it corrected some issues, it also introduced some new errors, for example:
- built in 1898 → built-in 1898
- its port → it's port
- The Anglo-Dutch P&O Nedlloyd was bought by the Danish giant corporation 'AP Moller Maersk' in 2005 → The Danish giant corporation bought the Anglo-Dutch P&O Nedlloyd 'AP Moller Maersk' in 2005
- Rotterdam has its own annual international → Rotterdam has it's own annual international
I've corrected these errors but since I saw the same sort of thing going on on other pages eg Amsterdam, Dolmen and Hillary Clinton I thought I'd better drop you a line about it, since it would be worth reviewing the edits you made. Mujinga (talk) 13:51, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

BRFA activity by month Welcome to the eighth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Maintainers disappeared to parts unknown... bots awakening from the slumber of æons... hundreds of thousands of short descriptions... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. Our last issue was in August 2019, so there's quite a bit of catching up to do. Due to the vast quantity of things that have happened, the next few issues will only cover a few months at a time. This month, we'll go from September 2019 through the end of the year. I won't bore you with further introductions — instead, I'll bore you with a newsletter about bots. Overall

BRFA activity by month Welcome to the ninth issue of the English Wikipedia's Bots Newsletter, your source for all things bot. Vicious bot-on-bot edit warring... superseded tasks... policy proposals... these stories, and more, are brought to you by Wikipedia's most distinguished newsletter about bots. After a long hiatus between August 2019 and December 2021, there's quite a bit of ground to cover. Due to the vastness, I decided in December to split the coverage up into a few installments that covered six months each. Some people thought this was a good idea, since covering an entire year in a single issue would make it unmanageably large. Others thought this was stupid, since they were getting talk page messages about crap from almost three years ago. Ultimately, the question of whether each issue covers six months or a year is only relevant for a couple more of them, and then the problem will be behind us forever. Of course, you can also look on the bright side – we are making progress, and this issue will only be about crap from almost two years ago. Today we will pick up where we left off in December, and go through the first half of 2020. Overall January 2020 Yeah, you're not gonna be able to get away with this anymore.
