[edit] SVG Images

On talk:Scalable Vector Graphics you mentioned commons:Category:SVG category of images. I'm unfamiliar with "commons" vs regular categories. Looking at the repository it seems that it is missing the image used on the Scalable Vector Graphics page itself (Image:Svg.svg). I went to Image:Svg.svg and tried to add the category of SVG but it created a new Category:SVG that is not the same as the commons category. Would appreciate if you could explain to me the difference and how to get that rectified. Thanks! Jeff schiller 15:07, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wade-Giles naming conventions

Greetings. Yes, Tung Ying-chieh is a more standard romanisation than Tung Ying-Chieh. Usually, in W-G, the second part of a hyphenated name isn't capitalised. So, we get Chinese names spelled as: Yang Lu-ch'an, Yang Chien-hou, Wu Chien-ch'üan, Wu Kung-i, etc. I've even seen T'ai-chi Ch'üan. A good example of this phenomenon in print using exactly these names (including Tung Ying-chieh) are any of the books by Douglas Wile, such as Yang Family Secret Transmissions ISBN 091205901X or Lost T'ai-chi Classics from the Late Ch'ing Dynasty ISBN 0791426548 as well as other translations he has done of Cheng Man-ch'ing's works.

[edit] University of Openness

Hi Zilla,

UO may be real, but is it notable? I assume it isn't anything I'd recognise as a university?

Regards, Ben Aveling 10:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Well, yes. See also "The University of the Third Age" also know as U3A. LoopZilla 11:08, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I took you off Harrow,_London on the assumption that you are not actually notable. If you are notable, then please divulge your real name, create an article about yourself and add yourself to Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles . Fplay 18:39, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't say I study it... I have done a few months. Want to go back (iwama stylee) soon tho! You are a T'ai Chi master then, old sacred one? - max rspct 13:27, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikimedia UK

I have no idea. What would being a member or trustee entail/imply? Does it mean I would have to give me real name and everything? :S --Mistress Selina Kyle 18:24, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

To be a trustee you'd have to give your real name and address to Companies House, so it would be on the public record, as well as certain other information. It also carried with it certain legal obligations. Also certain people are disqualified from being company directors - eg undischarged bankrupts, those with a disqualification order against them. Being a member has far fewer legal implications. We would require your real name and an address, but we'd probably accept an email address rather than your postal address (though we haven't considered that yet). You'd also have to pay the membership subscription (price not yet determined, though likely to be at such a level that doesn't deter people because they're not as rich as Jimmy Wales!) and agree to pay an amount not exceeding £10 if required if the company wound up when you were a member or within one year of you ceasing to be a member. Mind you, there's no need to be either a trustee or a member to help out - you just need to have a few hours you're willing to spend regularly in the cause, jguk 18:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Tung Ying Kit video demo

Greetings! Someone recently added a link to a low quality video of the 1954 Wu vs Chen T'ai Chi vs. White Crane contest at the Wu Kung-i article. What you may find interesting about it is at the very beginning of the video there is some brief footage of Tung Ying-chieh (Tung Ying Kit in Cantonese) demonstrating some of his T'ai Chi forms. Tung was a close friend of Wu Kung-i, and was also was one of the panel of judges for the contest. I hope you find it interesting. --Fire Star 07:51, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Alex Dong is my teacher and I know Chip Ellis personally. Chip's website has many videos from the Tung archives. LoopZilla 09:08, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] All Saints

Just a daft coincidence. You and I both took shots of All Saints church, similar composition, from almost exactly the same position, one day apart (right). I think yours looks better, mine is very heavily Photoshopped - it was very overcast on Saturday. But I've put mine up on the Commons anyway. It just amused me...

[edit] Request for edit summary

Hi. I am a bot, and I am writing to you with a request. I would like to ask you, if possible, to use edit summaries a bit more often when you contribute. The reason an edit summary is important is because it allows your fellow contributors to understand what you changed; you can think of it as the "Subject:" line in an email. For your information, your current edit summary usage is 21% for major edits and 39% for minor edits. (Based on the last 150 major and 150 minor edits in the article namespace.)

This is just a suggestion, and I hope that I did not appear impolite. You do not need to reply to this message, but if you would like to give me feedback, you can do so at the feedback page. Thank you, and happy edits, Mathbot 13:31, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Beer categories

Hi LoopZilla. It has been suggested by User:BrianSmithson that the Beer and brewery categories should be renamed. The proposal has been supported by User:Syrthiss, and supported and expanded by myself. The notion is that the regional categories should follow the format of "Beer and breweries in Africa" /Europe/Asia/North America/South America/Oceania. "Brewers and breweries" could also be renamed "Beer and breweries by region". And all the countries should also be renamed (and merged if needed) as, for example, "Beer and breweries of Germany", "Beer and breweries of Britain", "Beer and breweries of Poland". The word in each case would be beer rather than beers to allow for general articles on beer culture in each region as well as individual beers.

[edit] Ixus

Nice one! I've been slowly collecting all the models of Ixus I can - my wife lets me as long as I sell them afterwards ;-) If that's the original unaltered camera image, you should note that on the Commons page, 'cos it makes you look like an even 'l33t3r photographer - David Gerard 10:34, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Alexandria Quartet

Why do you think it's necessary for us to say that a work called a quartet - that is, four connected works - is a tetrology - that is, four connected works? - DavidWBrooks 10:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

"The Alexandra Quartet" suggests how many volumes? Yes, it could be 4 but it could be one! See tetralogy. Gordo 15:16, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll admit I'm stumped to think of anything labelled "quartet" that isn't four works. - DavidWBrooks 18:28, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

"Once upon a time, a quartet of string players, based in Alexandra, went on tour in London and around Europe..." - with that plot synopsis, somebody could write a decent book, or a trilogy!! Gordo 22:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. - DavidWBrooks 23:46, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

And we can all edit :-) Gordo 06:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

I saw Gerald Durrell speak once and got him to sign a copy of "My Family and Other Animals" - not quite as cool as your story! - DavidWBrooks 10:04, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Piglit3.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Piglit3.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 16:07, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
