FISH image

Hi Nono64, you uploaded an "international version"

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:FISHtechniqueInt.JPG

of a FISH image, which is in the public domain ONLY in the United States. In other countries, including Germany, this image is NOT in the public domain and cannot be used without further permission. Your international "new" version now uses the GNU Free Documentation license, which requires an "author" to be acknowledged. You did not enter an author to that image, could you update that in the above link ? and, do you have permission to put the modified image under GFDL ? Sorry In have to be so pedantic, but I consider using the image in my PhD thesis, so the permission must be clear. Regards, Kevin —Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/89.53.52.132|89.53.52.132]] ([[User talk:89.53.52.132|talk]]) 22:36, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Kevin. The problem begins with the fact that the American image has been uploaded in "commons", which is a documentation source for other countries. My second step for "internationalization" of the image should have therefore never happened. If you have to find some picture of FISH technique to illustrate your thesis, I think the best way to avoid any problem is to find something else elsewhere. I'm not sure, in this circumstances, that I must take credit for the picture. Better wait and see. Friendly, Nono.

Disambiguation page style

Please note that the [[MOS:DAB|style for disambiguation pages]] differs to that for article pages, in particular "piped links" are not used. Thanks, [[User:Rich257|Rich257]] ([[User talk:Rich257|talk]]) 10:38, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I agree with that rule. The question is : in what article did I do wrong? nono

[[Image:Ambox warning_pn.svg|48px|left]] A tag has been placed on [[:A 80]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#G1|section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

Detail on [[University of Pau and Pays d'Adour]]

Hi Nono64. Your work on the article is appreciated. However, I am concerned that too much unnecessary detail is being added. If you look at articles on other universities around the world you will see that they do not usually say where every campus shop and canteen is located. Are you aware of Wikiproject Universities? There are experienced editors there who can help to get the page into shape. I'm leaving a message there. Best wishes.

Proposed deletion of [[N56]]

[[Image:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|48px|]] A [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] template has been added to the article [[N56]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion|criteria for inclusion]], and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "[[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|What Wikipedia is not]]" and [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia's deletion policy]]). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{tl|dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:N56|its talk page]].

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the [[WP:PROD|proposed deletion process]], the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]] or it can be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|Articles for Deletion]], where it may be deleted if [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] to delete is reached.

[[:Taznakhte]]

[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|left|48px|]]A tag has been placed on [[:Taznakhte]], requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under [[WP:CSD#A2|section A2 of the criteria for speedy deletion]], because the article appears to be a foreign language article that was copied and pasted from another [[Wikimedia]] project, or was [[m:transwiki|transwikied]] out to another project. {{#if:|The article seems to have been copied from or transwikied to <nowiki>[[<nowiki>{{{source}}}]]</nowiki>.|}}</nowiki> Please see [[Wikipedia:Translation]] to learn about requests for, and coordination of, translations from [[m:List of Wikipedias|foreign-language Wikipedias]] into English.

[[S-phrases]]

Hi Nono64. May I ask why you removed the brackets [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Template:(S1)&diff=230588635&oldid=175051250 here] and [http://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Template:(S2)&diff=230602262&oldid=175051429 here]? --[[User:Leyo|Leyo]] 03:11, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Was that an error? The rest of the S-Phrases codes don't have them. I thought I should remove them. If I was wrong I will put them back as soon as possible. [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 05:28, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

The S-phrases 1, 2, and 1/2 are the only ones with brackets. Thanks for undoing it. --[[User:Leyo|Leyo]] 09:39, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

I should have opened my eyes before moving the templates. I 'm currently trying to purge the redirect links to allow the servers to edit the right phrasings in the linked articles. Sorry for it all! [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 09:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC) but it doesn't work immediately. I will have to wait untill the servers do the task [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 09:52, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Road article moves

I notice you've moved a lot of road articles recently, for no apparent reason (such as [[A14 road]] -> [[A14 road (England)]], even though the naming scheme is for Great Britain))-- I dont see any notice of intention on the article, it's talk page, on either [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK Roads]] or even [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Highways]]. Maybe it'd have been useful had you included the reasoning or result of a discussion about it in your edit summaries, that would've avoided a lot of confusion. -- [[User:Ratarsed|ratarsed]] ([[User talk:Ratarsed|talk]]) 08:11, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Oops! Yes, I will add comments now. In fact I tried to get a uniform presentation for road articles among countries, like in "A5 road (disambiguation)". [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 08:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Where was the decision made to do this? I know Wikipedia encourages people to be [[WP:BOLD]], but there are couple of [[WP:WikiProject]]s that already look after these articles, and I can't see any discussion on either... -- [[User:Ratarsed|ratarsed]] ([[User talk:Ratarsed|talk]]) 10:15, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Well yes! I have no excuses! I wasn't aware of the project implication. [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 10:20, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not move any more road articles, as you're breaking the schemes used by articles for different countries (e.g. you've turned [[A3 (Croatia)]], [[A7 (Croatia)]] and [[A11 (Croatia)]] into [[A3 highway (Croatia)]], [[A7 motorway (Croatia)]] and [[A11 (Croatia)]]). There are articles on English Wikipedia about Croatian highways, some expressways and some state routes, so this moving just adds to the confusion of the reader, not to mention that some countries use both terms "motorway" and "highway," but for different roads. If you want all the links to appear the same on disambiguation pages, use [[WP:PIPE|piped links]].

Great Britain

At the very least, you should have at least renamed them to "Axx road (Great Britain)" as the numbering scheme crosses the boundaries of the constituent nations. Also, as mentioned above, you should have consulted with the relevant Wikiprojects before such a substantial mass-renaming. Very poor. — [[User:MapsMan|MapsMan]] [ [[User_talk:MapsMan|talk]] | [[Special:Contributions/MapsMan|cont]] ] — 20:52, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Do you want me to do this? [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 06:50, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello. You have recently been making changes to numerous pages that list A5 (road) related specifically to Wales, including the Welsh Wikipedian's Noticeboard. Please stop these edits until further discussion can be achieved by Project Wales. I have already moved A5 road (Great Britain) to A5 road (United Kingdom). You have been working very hard making many changes, but it can be tricky when a number of projects are involved. Thanks.

Just wondering

Why did you bother to have separate sections for highways and motorways (like [[A4|here]] or [[A7|here]])? I thought these were different terms for the same thing. [[User:Admiral Norton|Admiral Norton]] ^{([[User talk:Admiral Norton|talk]])} 18:27, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

well, the orthography is not the same. In these sections, I tend to sort items in alphabetical order. But it doesn't imply there must be a sub-title "highways" to separate the type from the motorways, especially if, in these sections, there are only two items listed like in A4 and A7. If you want to merge the two, I don't bother. [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 05:57, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Roads

Hi. Why are you changing the links for British roads such as the [[A40 road]] to [[A40 road (Great Britain)]]. Only a few of the roads have GB in the title; as most have nothing what's the point? [[User:OllieFury|Ollie]] [[User talk:OllieFury|Fury]] _{[[Special:Contributions/OllieFury|Contribs]]} 16:13, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well I am currently disambiguating the small number "A roads" (A1, 2, 3, 4, ...). I don't know up to what number there will be a need to disambiguate. I guess at least the first 20 could have ambiguity problem, maybe the first 100 roads, and since I was correctiong the link of a small number road in your article, I have taken care of this link also. Am I clear? [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 16:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

So I take it that you intend to move all the British road pages from [[A40 road]] to [[A40 road (Great Britain)]] in line with other roads such as [[A40 road (Isle of Man)]]. That's fine with me. [[User:OllieFury|Ollie]] [[User talk:OllieFury|Fury]] _{[[Special:Contributions/OllieFury|Contribs]]} 16:52, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm just begining that job. I hope I will go that far. Thanks. [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 16:54, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

There seem to be a few issues with your recent edits. Those that I have picked up:

I think [[A road]] in UK road articles is better piped to [[Great Britain road numbering scheme]]., not a list. The list does not explain what an A road is.

It will take time for me to assert the extend of the damage. Give me a few days for I can search and correct in my history those bad linkings of my own. [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 22:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Your new page [[List of A roads systems]]
- is not a disambiguation page
- needs to clarify whether it is a list of lists or a list of road numbering systems/schemes. If it's the latter, the page needs to link to the articles which describe the systems.

Well, I wasn't sure until recently, and that can explain the problems. I have begun the article as a "list of A roads" and only wanted to list roads. But I changed the title as I could see there were some sort of categories or schemes existing within the roads listed. Anyway the artcle gives the (not lists) tables of roads, but it could be better placed in a section with a different title like "see also". [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 22:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

- I cannot see any evidence that A roads in Australia and Argentina are numbered according to the first letter of the "state" (no Australian states begin with A)

Well, me neither. I will check that too. Put it in commentary for the moment. You didn't mention Alaska. Do you think there is enough evidence to maintain that in the article?[[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 22:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Alaska looks OK, see [[Interstate Highways in Alaska]]. [[User:Mhockey|Mhockey]] ([[User talk:Mhockey|talk]]) 22:42, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Some of your new redirect pages do not seem to be supported by the content of the target articles, for example [[A1 highway (Australia)]], [[A1 highway (Bosnia and Herzegovina)]], [[A1 motorway (Serbia)]] - I have only checked a few

You may want to discuss on a talk page, e.g. [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Highways]], before proceeding. [[User:Mhockey|Mhockey]] ([[User talk:Mhockey|talk]]) 18:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I think I must have reused the links or phrasings of link of others users in these instances. Here too, I will need a few days to check it all! [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 22:12, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree with [[User:Mhockey]] here that you need to be discussing this far reaching strategy with some of the projects here. [[WP:UKGEO]] is another, in addition to [[WP:HWY]].

Hi Nono64. I notice your recent creation of [[Arrows A1]], [[Arrows A2]], etc as redirects to [[Arrows]].

Redirecting aircraft

Hi Nono64 - thanks for all the hard work you're doing on redirects and disambiguation.

One little request though – please don't redirect redlinks about specific aircraft models back to the general page on their manufacturer as you did at [[Slingsby Aviation]]. These redirects are not useful, since the articles on manufacturers generally don't contain more than a single sentence on particular models, and more frequently (as in this case) don't contain anything at all! Additionally, it creates problems for those of us maintaining and expanding Wikipedia's aircraft content.

Would you have any problem with my disabling the Slingsby redirects so we can restore the article?

Remember – redlinks are good – they help us grow. --[[User:Rlandmann|Rlandmann]] ([[User talk:Rlandmann|talk]]) 20:16, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Undiscussed tank moves

Hi, Nono64, I noticed you've been moving Soviet tank articles to include "tank" after the name. Is there a discussion that I've missed? I've moved the articles back to their previous names, as the moves don't seem to be necessary, and they weren't discussed. Regards, [[User:Parsecboy|Parsecboy]] ([[User talk:Parsecboy|talk]]) 13:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, if an article, or especially a set of articles has been stable for a long time, that indicates that there isn't a big consensus to change the situation, and there are probably a few editors who are watching the articles. If you make a well-stated proposal for moves and post it in a good place, you may find that it will be supported. But if you just show up and start moving around articles that others have already invested a lot of time in, you may not get a good reception. —[[User:Mzajac |Michael]] [[User talk:Mzajac |Z.]] 2008-11-22 17:24 z

T-34 in the German Wehrmacht

Hy, I noticed you put a question mark behind the T-34 in the [[17th Panzer Division (Germany)]] article. It wasn't that rare for the Wehrmacht to use captured tanks, especially when short of own ones. Under "Surviving vehicles" there is even a bit about such a tank in the [[T-34]] article. I fixed the link in the article to directly point to the [[T-34]] article rather then a disambiguation page. Anyway, have fun, hope this answers your question, [[User:EA210269|EA210269]] ([[User talk:EA210269|talk]]) 01:15, 27 November 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't sure about the point. [[User:Nono64|Nono64]] ([[User talk:Nono64#top|talk]]) 10:34, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Redirects

Just in case I can prevent you from doing this in the future: DO NOT MAKE REDIRECTS FROM ARTICLES TO DISAMBIGUATION PAGES, such as [[A1 Guadeloupe]] (which is one of many that I have now reversed). The redirect should go TO the best article about the topic. A person reading the disambiguation page, who clicks the link to an article for more information about the topic, should not then be given a link BACK to the disambiguation page. This is completely nonsensical. [[User:Propaniac|Propaniac]] ([[User talk:Propaniac|talk]]) 19:38, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
