Want something to do? Your goal, if you choose to accept, is to copyedit Flag of Singapore. You have no limit on the number of tags and place them in the article as you see fit. Up to the task? If so, have at it my friends. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 02:02, 25 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations

The Barnstar of National Merit
Congratulations on getting "Flag of Singapore" to FA status, and thanks for your contributions to Singapore-related articles! (Perhaps "Coat of arms of Singapore" is next?) — JackLee, 13:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
this WikiAward was given to Zscout370 by JackLee –talk– on 13:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Noticed that I'm conferring a barnstar that you yourself created! Maybe you'd like to work on a Singapore Barnstar of National Merit. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 13:28, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

For the Singaporean Barnstar, what people have done is take the ribbon part and change it to the national flag. But this is very exciting news. 2 years of work and look at it now! Thanks! User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:45, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, you seem to be pretty handy with graphics, so I was thinking you might want to try doing that... — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 19:29, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I already have a list of articles I am working on. Flag of Japan is my next goal. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 19:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well done, Jacklee and Zscout370! Congratulations on Flag of Singapore attaining FA status! Also wishing both of you a happy new year! Jacklee, how is your PhD going? Would you have time to work with me (and others) on the 2010 National Day Project? A brilliant writer like you should have little problems getting Singapore in Malaysia to GA and OTD (and perhaps writing another DYK). You, too, deserve a barnstar, and I suggest that Zscout370 design a "Countering Systemic Bias Barnstar"! --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 04:22, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not familiar with how OTD works. Is it possible to nominate "Flag of Singapore" for OTD – for example, the date that the flag was officially adopted (3 December 1959, if I've read the article correctly)? — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 07:47, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
As an FA, Flag of Singapore easily meets the quality bar, but we would need to convince others that the official adoption of our flag is an event with "moderate to great historical significance". --J.L.W.S. The Special One (talk) 15:38, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, I see. Yes, that could be a problem. — Cheers, JackLee –talk– 17:36, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I was think of "Today's FA on August 9th." User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 18:48, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Flag of Singapore would be a great Main Page FA on 9 August! That was why we spent months making the article our 4th FA. Meanwhile, our independence (as detailed in Singapore in Malaysia) could be featured in OTD, while each of the four DYK updates would have a Singapore-related article (I could work on most of the DYKs). --J.L.W.S.

RFCN

Hi there! It seems the reports you added to WP:RFCN aren't appropriate for that page... I recommend you take a second look at the instructions at the top of the page before you add any more. Particularly make sure the user has continued to edit since the issue has been raised on their talk page. This ensures they have a chance to respond one-on-one before the larger community is drawn into the discussion; also we consider any username issue not a problem if the user has stopped editing. Keep in mind that WP:UAA is a significantly different process from WP:RFCN and the reports at the former are rarely transferable to the latter. Thanks, and happy editing! -kotra (talk) 04:08, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was following the instructions at the previous page, where it says take stuff RFCN when the user has been communicated to about the issue. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:11, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The full instructions says "Do not post the issue here unless they have refused to change their username or have continued to edit without reply." But if there are conflicting instructions, that is something we should fix. -kotra (talk) 04:20, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This is what I saw: "If the user has already been warned of their violation: Consider taking your request to RFCN, which is a forum for discussing possible violations after the user has already been notified and had a chance to discuss." User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:21, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. I think the problem is "...and had a chance to discuss" is open to interpretation. Personally I think 10 hours is not enough time to allow for a response, especially during the holiday season. But maybe you see it differently. In any case, the two pages don't match up exactly, so I'll start a discussion at WT:UAA. -kotra (talk) 04:29, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I personally think RFCN will allow for a wider discussion, but oh well, at least others know now. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:31, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re:File permission problem with File:Covered Carriage Truck BR 94300.png

Thanks, that's extremely irritating, but thank you for the info, I sent a message to the guy to ask permission. (By the way is there a page listing what all the different copyrights do in plain English?)--The Navigators (talk)-May British Rail Rest in Peace. 04:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Flag of the President of India.svg

Would you be able to add an image for this? I'd like to create an "other flags" section on the Flag of India article and if possible include this. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 04:11, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I can try. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:25, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, there's a link in List of Indian flags to this, but it looks like it was never uploaded. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 04:30, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When I checked the earlier history, it used to be gif. The file was deleted in 2007 because it came from a website that does not allow us to use their work commercially. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, that explains it. I just searched for files on the pedia, I didn't think of looking through the history. cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 04:49, 4 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wondering if you created the flag at commons (in List of Indian flags? It was uploaded today, but the elephant and scale are not the "correct" images...cheers. -SpacemanSpiff 06:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, I did make the image at Commons. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 06:07, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

File:Florida Atlantic University winged monogram.svg

Could you undelete? This logo consists of letters. — BQZip01 — talk 00:04, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And very ornate wings on the sides. Sorry, I just do not feel this image is public domain due to it being simple. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 00:07, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Ornamentation isn't copyrightable. It isn't PD due to being "simple", but to being "textual". Even if it is, it doesn't mean it doesn't have a fair use. This is also a contested deletion and should go through the deletion process. — BQZip01 — talk 23:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The only people who deleted and restored this image was me because I had a period of self doubt. However, from judging by the age of the logo (in the 2000's, so copyright is automatic) and while it does have the letters FAU, the letters were designed in a way that is not very simple. I am sorry, but I do not believe this image will be public domain. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 04:32, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Castlemaine Images

Hi there,

it's been a while since I edited Wikipedia. You left a message on my user page to the effect that you could restore some images from the Castlemaine page that had been deleted because of their uncertain copyright status.

I can confirm that the images were taken by me, and am happy to place them in the public domain. --Robert Merkel (talk) 10:49, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Alright! Thank you so much. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 17:08, 6 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
