Your requested diagram for Evolution of the eye

File:Diagram of eye evolution.jpg

Hello. I noticed you put a request for a diagram of evolutionary stages of the eye on WP:RP a couple of weeks back. Well, I decided to flex my illustrative muscles and put together something that I hope meets the requirements of the article. It's similar in some respects to the Strickberger image you linked to in the request, but I kept it quite simple for the sake of clarity. Of course, I'm no biologist, so if there are any mistakes I've made, or any improvements you can suggest, I'll revise the image to make it suitable. ~ Matticus78 16:40, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, wow. That is absolutely perfect, and absolutely gorgeous. Simple and clear, but informative, is indeed ideal, and you've pulled off the combination expertly. o_o; It's even better than the source images in question, as its use of color makes the parts stand out much better for viewers. Thank you so much!!! The only possible issue I can see is finding the ideal way to make the image large enough in Evolution of the eye to clearly see the text; perhaps we should even consider cutting the image into six pieces and placing them throughout the "stages of eye evolution" section so that enough space is given to showcase each stage and more fully appreciate the detail of the job you did. :D Great work! -Silence 17:11, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Matticus78 I have decided to put two of my articles on my website to en.wikipedia.org so that more people may benefit from them. These are named "oil and gas exploration in turkey" and "geology of turkey". I have put a back-links to the original article so that people can browse through the my web-site for more related articles. However, I received an error message stating possibility of copyright infringement. I am the writer of these articles sot there is not a case of copyright infringement. I kindly request you to remove this warning and enable the pages. Thank you for helping run such a great service! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lifia (talk • contribs)

Hello Again Matticus78!
My article titled Geology of Turkey is now reinstantiated but Oil & Gas Exploration in Turkey is not. Can you reinstantiate it as well? --Lifia 16:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's now up to the administrator who closes the report to reinstate the article - unfortunately, it is not my place to do this. If they are satisfied with your licensing claim on the article source, they will reinstate the article in a few days. Sorry for any delay, but the claims have to be checked out and all.
Also, please don't overwrite comments on talk pages when you write a new reply; leave any existing comments so that the thread of the discussion can be followed easily. Thank you. ~Matticus TC 00:12, 30 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todd Kelly

Hi Matticus, I just wanted to let you know that I changed the Todd Kelly copyvio tag to a speedy copyvio. It was created in the last 48 hours and both versions of it were copyright violations so it doesn't need to be listed at Copyright Problems. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 09:56, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is that how CSD A8 works? I've always been under the impression from the wording of it that it could only apply to a "commercial content provider [...] directly engaged in making money off the content" (e.g. something directly copied from Encarta, for example, or a news service selling their content to other providers) - in other words, there to get a potentially liable article off Wikipedia as quickly as possible - while something pulled from a free, publicly-accessible site that is simply promoting something went under the usual {{copyvio}} process. If I'm wrong about that, I'll know for future reference though. ~Matticus TC 11:05, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've never had a problem with articles I've tagged for speedy copyvio. The Todd Kelly article was deleted an hour ago. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 11:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy

I noticed that we nominated the page Arsebear for speedy deletion literally within seconds of each other! --David Mestel(Talk) 09:44, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not surprising - an article with a title like that is bound to attract an NP Patroller's attention! "Arsebear"...honestly! ~Matticus TC 09:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
True, true. --David Mestel(Talk) 09:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
hi i noticed that you have cancelled the speedy deletion template used for a permanent banned user. you can follow the discussion here (Kinkeshi). please undo you revert as this article is actually part of a multiple articles deletion action. thanks JP Belmondo 00:10, 8 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

moving articles

Thank you for the notice, I never noticed that 'Move' tab before. ReverendG 01:02, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
