Changing image names

Hi Starwiz! In answer to your question, images cannot be moved/renamed. You will need to save the image to your computer, change the name, then re-upload the file with the new file name. After that you can tag the old one with the "images for speedy deletion" template -- copy {{isd|New image name}} into the image's description page, and an admin will delete it when they get the chance. Cheers! — Catherine\^talk 16:41, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

That was much more complicated than it should have been. Oh well; thanks again for your help! Starwiz 00:59, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)

Agreed, but the software does impose some limitations on us. Anyway, I reported it as a bug (hoping for a more helpful error message at least), and got an amazingly quick response from our very busy developers -- they've removed the "move" tab from pages in the "Image:" namespace altogether! Still not going to be helpful for people scratching their heads and wondering "how do I rename this?", but it's something. Anyway, please let me know if you have any other questions, 'cos I enjoy being helpful... — Catherine\^talk 06:08, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Yes, you're doing the talk pages correctly, and yes, it's a little confusing. :) Better talk facilities are one of the things on many people's "wish lists" but there's a lot of debate about the how.

I've added a bit to the Editing FAQ about renaming an image; you can peruse the rest of the sprawling FAQ here. (Type the shortcut "WP:FAQ" into the search box to get there quickly; there are lots of shortcuts to other popular pages too -- see Wikipedia:WP for a (yeesh, also sprawling) list. :)

I've had a look over your contributions, and you're doing great work! Please keep it up, we need more good young minds around here... I did AP English and AP Calculus myself way back in history, so I have some idea how much work it takes to succeed in all of those classes, and as a junior, too! Looking forward to seeing a lot more of you around here -- keep learning and pretty soon you'll be an admin yourself. — Catherine\^talk 01:55, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Style issue in Einstein's Puzzle

The wording of the version in the article is a direct quotation of the original publication of this puzzle. For more details, please see the Talk page. Canon 11:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see. I was under the mistaken impression that the original wording ended after "Now, who drinks water? Who owns the zebra?". I guess I should have checked that link. I've reverted my change and tried to clarify things. Let me know if you think it's better this way. --Starwiz 15:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think changing the heading to "original puzzle" and adding a section for clarifications is a very good idea and will help people who don't read the Talk page and yet are curious about why the puzzle differs from the version they first saw. Well done! Canon 04:11, 3 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for fixing Twenty One (game show). I hadn't noticed noticed the problem. Algae 14:34, 5 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moment of inertia

Hey, yea I think its probably a good idea to keep the energy part there, although it does take up quite a bit of space. A derivation for the torque equation would be useful too, but that might be even longer. It might help to actually create a separate page for those derivations (somewhere like moment of inertia/derivations). But it looks pretty good. Fresheneesz 20:20, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

FSU Young Scholars Program

You expressed thoughts about whether the above-referenced program is encyclopedic. As I couldn't find anything on this, I started a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (policy). I'd appreciate your thoughts. --JChap 03:31, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, that edit comment was meant to question whether a partial list of where the YSP graduates are going to college is encyclopedic. YSP isn't a scholarship (as you wrote on the Village pump) so much as it is a summer program. I'd be happy to elaborate on the Village pump, but I wasn't sure you wanted me to answer with regards to summer programs rather than scholarships. The closest notability guidelines I can find are those for schools; they're pretty inclusive, I think. I think the fact that the program is mentioned among only a handful of other summer programs on an MIT blog (the link is in the article) suggests that the program is as notable as, say, CTY, even though it's much smaller. What do you think? --Starwiz 03:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunate revert

I reverted a recent edit to Calvin and Hobbes for what may have been an accidental partial page blanking. A good chunk of the end of the article, including valid sections and other language links were lost in a recent edit you made. Please go back and try again to make your intended changes. Kevin_b_er 01:23, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How strange! This happened to me recently on another page, too. I don't think I could have accidentally deleted all that text; I only edited the first line. Do you have any idea how this might be happening? Maybe I'm closing my tabs too quickly in Firefox? Starwiz 01:26, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Firefox may have an issue with very large editboxes when you move tabs around. User:Quadratic found this to be the case when I noticed him doing it. He came back one day and reported an idea he had on what firefox was doing. link to a section on my talk page If I can help you or quadratic figure this out, the firefox developers can be informed of this and it can be fixed in the next minor release. Kevin_b_er 01:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It broke again. I think I did the edit that you intended to do, delinking "sardonic" Kevin_b_er 01:36, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it's definitely not happening beacuse I closed the tab, because I watched the edit page reload the article. I may still have moved some tabs, though. I'll check it out in my sandbox. It cut it off at the exact same spot in the article! I don't get it. Starwiz 01:44, 17 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging for Image:Pine View School seal.svg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pine View School seal.svg. However, the copyright tag you've used is deprecated or obsolete, and should not be used. This could be because the tag is inaccurate or misleading, or because it does not adequately specify the copyright status of the image. For a list of copyright tags that are in current use, see the "Public domain", "Free license", and "Fair use" sections of Wikipedia:Image copyright tags.

Newsweek, Elite Publics

I changed the link for the 21 public elites to the list on the Newsweek website. No disrespect meant to Pine View School, just seems to be a more direct reference. Regards--Ryanjo 03:14, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gah! I copy-and-pasted the wrong link! Thanks for catching that one. --Starwiz 03:24, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Isaac Asimov

Hi Starwiz; I just wanted to let you know I reverted a change you made to Isaac Asimov. I left a note on the talk page but I wanted to drop you a note here since I hate to revert a good-faith edit without a conversation. Please change back to your version if you think it's supported; I've explained my reasoning on Talk:Isaac Asimov#Recommended reading order. Thanks. Mike Christie 15:13, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. Looking back at my edit, I realize I was going way too fast. I skipped the word "order" and saw "for recommended reading, see the Foundation series". Part of what messed me up may have been the hyphenated "reading-order", which I've now changed. Having taken a closer look, it seems that the link is actually to the reading order Asimov himself recommended, so I've altered the sentence to reflect that. Thanks for the note. Starwiz 19:16, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sequoia

I did some research on the family ring vs. fairy ring you brought up on the sequoia talk page and just wanted to let you know what I found. (Here's a link to the article I cited [1]). I thought your edit was good and added transparency as you indicated. Based on the research I decided to revert the page--let me know if you find any more info or if you think I was off base. Thanks.

Template:Planet_Infobox/Mercury

The new Mercury symbol doesn't seem to be showing up in this infobox. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 19:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's been my experience that the SVGs sometimes take some time before they're displayed. There may be an easy fix for this, but I don't know what it is. (It probably has to do with image caching; I never encounter the problem when I change low-visibility pages.) Please let me know if you come up with anything approaching a solution! Starwiz 19:28, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know why, but it had something to do with the size. I resized to 20px, and it showed up. I tried to resize back to 25px, and it was blank again. _└ ^OzLawyer / _talk ^┐ 22:25, 30 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:FoxTrot_banner.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:FoxTrot_banner.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bigr Tex 20:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Picasa Web Albums galleries.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Picasa Web Albums galleries.png. 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).

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.

Redirect of IronForge

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on IronForge, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because IronForge is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting IronForge, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Hi Justin, inspired by your picture of the Clark Center, I clicked a photo of the building at night (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Clark_Center_at_Night.jpg).
