Thanks for adding a history section to the Okanagan article, it really filled it out! Roleypolinde 17:43, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome. It was part of a project for my Geography of BC course. I thought I might as well add it here. RadRafe 17:49, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Same School?

Hey RadRafe, I noticed you go to UNBC. As a matter of fact, I go there as well. Isn't that a coincidence?

Hey, neat! Care to add yourself to the list of Wikipedians by alma mater? Oh, and other lists, if you want. —RadRafe

Santorini

You recently removed maps "until the infringement issue is resolved". Since there is no mention of such an issue at the Talk:Santorini page, would you post a sentence or so with a hyperlink to discussion of infringement? Thank you. (Copy to Talk:Santorini) --Wetman 8 July 2005 16:10 (UTC)

At issue was the map image itself, File:Santorini map.gif, which had a copyvio notice on it. The notice says the image shouldn't be used in any articles, so I removed it from Santorini. The image has since been deleted, apparently, so I can see why you were concerned. —RadRafe 9 July 2005 09:31 (UTC)

iMac peer review

Hi there, RadRafe

I see that you've contributed to the Apple computer article. I've recently edited the iMac article and put it up for peer review; but beyond owning an iMac, and loving it, I have little in-depth knowledge on the topic, historically or technically. I wonder whether you have time to read it and add your critical comments at the peer review page? Tony 08:36, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Peak oil

Thank you for helping to expand {{Peak oil}} by adding a link to Out of Gas. Unfortunately, that is a red link. Currently, Category:Peak oil books lists only three books. There are many books about Peak oil, but it appears only three of them have articles on Wikipedia yet. The author of Out of Gas is David Goodstein, who does have an article on Wikipedia. Unless you plan to write an article for Out of Gas, I would prefer not to add red links to the Peak oil template. A more useful link would be to add David Goodstein to the "People" group of the template; then people could actually get some information from the link about this author and his work. Let me know what you think. --Teratornis (talk) 22:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I added David Goodstein to {{Peak oil}} since we have an article on him, and I commented out the red link to Out of Gas. I will check out a copy from my local library and see if I can start an article for that book, and then add the (working) link back to the template. --Teratornis (talk) 22:25, 1 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:UNBC Coat of Arms.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:UNBC Coat of Arms.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:55, 3 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Industrial design and Design Portal

I recently posted the following text on Wikipedia regarding the creation of a new Visual arts/Technology-related project in Wikipedia:

WikiProject Industrial design is a Wikipedian community that aims to better organize information in articles related to Industrial design (also called Product design).

If I'm cor-rec-to, there are about 1850 articles on Industrial design in Wikipedia...

At least, it's more than for Typography, and there IS a Typography WikiProject...

And it's more than the Fashion WikiProject with 482 articles...

There is also an Urban studies and planning project and a Video games portal so...

Now you can also see a proposal for the Design Portal. (that portal would be for Industrial design AND Graphic design/Interior design)

Please support this initiative,
-- Alain R 3 4 5

Stanislav Petrov

Hi, You have been involved in editing the article about Stanislav Petrov in the past. Following a discussion about splitting biographical data about the man involved from the article of the incident, I have been bold and made a cut at the changes required however I wanted to invite you to have a look at my edits on Stanislav Petrov and 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident and make any changes you think are required. Thanks! --Deadly∀ssassin 23:37, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
