[edit] Crimea Medal copyvio
Thanks for flagging that up. I migrated that content over from Crimean War medals earlier on today. I was pondering how (if at all) it could be used. Lucky I didn't get too far on with it!

Oh, I missed out on parametric determinism :) -- ALoan (Talk) 10:10, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Update to DYK
You just updated "Did You Know" after 7 hours. Don't items stay up for a full 24 hours? Or you update them at any time? Badagnani 10:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- The whole set gets replaced approximately every 6 hours (often a bit longer until someone notices). -- ALoan (Talk) 10:47, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Main page requests
Are you still following this? You might want to weigh in on the Filiocht question, at least. SandyGeorgia (Talk) 17:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] International College
No need to be agressive. I can tell you, from personal experience that International College is finer than schools such as Louis le Grand and Henri IV, them being as or more pretigious than la Sorbonne or Collège de France. You can remove the renowned part, but I can assure you than calling it "one of the most pretigious" is no POV. International College is the finest in the Middle-East, and from personal knowledge of other fine institutions, I can guarantee it is one of the finest in the world. Most of its graduates later attend Harvard, MIT and Berkeley and many similar American and European universities, and more than most high schools in the world. This does make it one of the finest and most prestigious. KlakSonnTalk 21:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
And thanks for fixing the article. KlakSonnTalk 21:38, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Pic5 cropped.jpg
Hello. I noticed that you deleted Image:Pic5 cropped.jpg, an image used for the TFA a few days ago. As far as I know, the cropped main page images are not deleted when they are still used in the TFA template (which randomly appear on the featured content page). Can you undelete this? --- RockMFR 22:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- Did I make a mistake? I was just cleaning up Category:Protected main page images. Most of the images there are tagged with {{c-uploaded}}, which have an instruction to delete them when they are off the Main Page, or {{m-protected}}, which just need to be unprotected. This one was tagged with {{m-cropped}}, which says "Administrators: please speedy delete this file once it is definitely off the Main Page". I just restored it to check, and then deleted it again. -- ALoan (Talk) 08:43, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- It's still used on Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 3, 2007. I'm a little confused on what is normally done with these crops, as the other TFA crops usually are not deleted. --- RockMFR 16:29, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Gee, you're giving me a headache now that we have such a problem of plenty. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
With the ones below, I make that 20 in 4 days (of which I wrote 5 :) -- ALoan (Talk) 09:14, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Pic5 cropped.jpg
Hello! When deleting a cropped image because it no longer appears on the main page, please replace any remaining transclusions (in this case, within Wikipedia:Today's featured article/April 3, 2007) with the uncropped version. Thanks! —David Levy 01:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
