[edit] The Quadrature of the Parabola

Thanks for creating this article as it is a very useful source of information on the theorem. I was wondering why I had not seen it before, then realized that it was created on 13 August 2007. Here is a question: is Archimedes shown demonstrating the quadrature of the parabola on the 1983 Greek postage stamp in the article Archimedes? (the image is also at [1]). At one stage I was fairly sure of this, then had some doubts. --Ianmacm 17:49, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't look like any of the diagrams in the treatise—it seems to involve a triangle inscribed in a circle. Perhaps it's from one of Archimedes' other works? Jim 01:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Archimedes

I fully agree that the Greek numeral system was awkward for doing calculations, while Roman numerals are even worse. I have a problem ascribing (part of) the difficulty to the fact that the characters used for the numerals happened to be alphabetic. Someone who believes that might think that there is some inherent difficulty in calculating in hexadecimal, which uses both the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A through F. However, the problem is in not using a positional system – although it can be argued that the system had positional aspects, since one would not write, for example, βιʹ, but always ιβʹ; however, there was no notation for a missing position. Archimedes being the genius he was, I think it is actually quite possible he invented a convenient numeral system for private use.  --Lambiam 13:12, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Real Madrid" to "Real Madrid C.F."

Do you know how to rename an article? For instance, i think it would be better if "Real Madrid" title is replaced with "Real Madrid C.F." (Real Madrid Club de Football).--Hadrianos1990 10:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Pining.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Pining.jpg. 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. BetacommandBot 04:28, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Replaceable fair use Image:Eckert_video.JPG

Thanks for uploading Image:Eckert_video.JPG. I noticed the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Calliopejen1 15:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] In Pop Culture Proposal

Just letting you know I formally proposed the standards we talked about back in June on the Pong talk page. You can weigh in here. --Marty Goldberg 19:09, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barbie films and books

I added the films and book section as a way of showing how the original product created spinoffs. I thought your objection was the "List" format so I was working on rewriting it in prose. The films have made 700 million dollars, which I believe makes them a valid part of the article. Frog47 20:07, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Voting style

I always vote Yes or No, and at times Remark. I'll changed it as requested. Amazing work on the article to all those who contributed. Leranedo 07:10, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support vote at FAC. --♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I still don't think it passes WP:NFCC. The image is in the infobox of the article and basically used to identify how Freddie Starr looks. Nevertheless, the closing admin (not me of course) will decide. Garion96 (talk) 13:01, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of recordings with a prominent flanging effect

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of recordings with a prominent flanging effect, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of List of recordings with a prominent flanging effect. Oli Filth^(talk) 00:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of recordings with a prominent flanging effect

I have nominated List of recordings with a prominent flanging effect, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of recordings with a prominent flanging effect. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Oli Filth^(talk) 21:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Archimedes

The point is that the link "Ancient Greek" goes to the language, and does not refer to the culture of Ancient Greece. It could be said that A. was an "ancient Greek mathematician", but none of the articles on other ancient Greek mathematicians uses that terminology; it is clear enough from the context that this is not modern Greece.  --Lambiam 18:12, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Jay_Anson.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Jay_Anson.jpg. 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.

[edit] Vitruvius

This item desreves empahsis because Vitruvius is the main source of the Eureka story, by which the noble philosopher is remembered by most ordinary people. Perhaps people should also be more aware of V's own contributions to our knowledge of Greek and Roman technology and science! Peterlewis (talk) 10:07, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Nothing personal, but the normal rule of See also sections is to avoid repeating links already given in the article. Otherwise, Heron of Alexandria, Plutarch and numerous others could be given in the section. For the sake of consistency, Vitruvius does not need to be in the section. --♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 11:11, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Falafel

Just FYI - the whole reason the page is protected is that it was first a target of Jamiechef2 (talk · contribs) (see also checkuser, a POV vandal who was running around Wikipedia trying to "claim" various foods for "Palestinians" specifically and accuse "Israelis" of "stealing" them. This was obviously not conducive to good conduct, and even after the ban on that editor's various sockpuppets, Tiamut and Gilabrand went on edit warring (they seem to have moved in on Za'atar as a battleground too now, with Tiamut quoting sources that don't seem to say what she claims they say). This is most perplexing behavior and I agree very unfortunate, and I'm about to ask for sanctions against both of them as per the Israeli/Palestinian RfC to make them step aside and let new blood edit the article freshly. M1rth (talk) 15:32, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, this is not my specialist area and hopefully the page can be unprotected soon. In the meantime, the online game Falafel King at [2] is worth a look for some fun. --♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 15:39, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Youtube logo new.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Youtube logo new.jpg. 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) 11:35, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
