Mottos

Thanks for fixing that. I should have looked myself - I know how fiddly wiki formatting can be sometimes. Confusing Manifestation 03:42, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh, and I'm a bit of a formatting purist myself, so while minor I wouldn't call it "nitpicking" ;) Confusing Manifestation 03:51, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

C:DOS RUN

Tewy, has this motto got enough support votes yet? How many does it need? HarrisonB Speak! 03:58, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

• Ok, I think it can be approved now, it has been around for almost three months. HarrisonB Speak! 08:36, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Blue Tang Photo?

I made a cursor file out of the image Image:Blue_tang_(Paracanthurus_hepatus)_01.jpg. I would love to share it, but the GNU license simply makes that too difficult. Would you allow me to share it freely with just an attribution or a link or in some other way? If so, to whom should I attribute the image? drkslvr8@yahoo.com --129.237.95.21 (talk) 18:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. I must have missed that on the image page. --129.237.95.21 (talk) 03:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Featured sounds

I noticed that you have participated in Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates in the past. There are now two candidates and the project appears to be abandoned. If you could look at the candidates and vote it would be appreciated. Zginder ^{(talk) (Contrib)} 18:26, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

pipefish

Tewy, I would like to use the photo of the pipefish. I will use it in teaching material on environmental education that will be provided to teachers free of charge and be available for free on the internet. I need a high-res copy. This will be printed way more than 100 times. I need your permission to do this. Please e-mail Thank you --Ciwmboee (talk) 17:03, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Motto of the day

Hello, I notice you're using one of the {{motd}} templates, run by Wikipedia:Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 01:45, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

We would like to use your image of the Golden Gate Bridge for advertising - would this be possible?

Where've you been

Haven't seen you for a very long time. How you doing? bibliomaniac15 04:02, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

I've been fine. Just been as my page says, busy in real life. :-) --Tewy 19:52, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Silverton Photo

Your overview photo of Silverton Colorado is absolutely gorgeous. I have visited Silverton 3 times over the years and it's so hard to get a great shot of an entire city as you did with this one. I am very interested in using this photo on my family colorado vacation website. I obviously want to give credit where credit is due and I am interested in what information you would like included in the credit other than the standard? Obviously I'm new to this wikipedia thing but thank you so much, StephanieBfueler737 (talk) 12:50, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
