Woo hoo! My first insult

Regarding your post at the Muhammad drawings article, there is no truth or freedom in those cartoons. Just insults and lies. That is why Muslims are angry at the cartoons and fools like you who support them.

Thank you for being so diplomatic. I can see how you must be an incredibly reasonable person. I guess the words to peacefully "agree to disagree" never came to mind have they? Insult me all you want but as you noticed I haven't taken your insult down now have I? This is the only reply I will write to you. Want to talk to me?

Mohammed cartoons

Regarding your statement on the Mohammed cartoons on the talk page:

This is nothing but a usual Europian hypocricy. Can you say, for example, 'Holocost is nothing but a propaganda!' in your country? Where is your 'freedom of speech'? Jews were killed or not, that is a different story. My point is you cannot even say it in your countries!...:Your point is wrong. Period. Check your talk page.

There's nothing hypocritical about this. Wikipedia is actually run out of the United States where free speech is alive and well. You are allowed to doubt the Holocaust or whatever and show cartoons of Mohammed. I hope this clears that up. --Cyde Weys 22:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That wasn't me. His signature was above his comment, sorry for the confusion. His talkpage is here Rgulerdem where I wrote the similar comment to him about it. Hitokirishinji 22:14, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that, the comments weren't formatted correctly and I saw two possible users who could've made that comment, evidently I picked incorrectly. Now that I think about it your username sounds more Japanese than Arab. --Cyde Weys 22:17, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Hitokirishinji. I just wanted to say that amid all of the mud slinging and stupidity from both sides of the Mohammed Cartoon argument, it was great to hear someone speaking sense for a change. Your 'The Holocaust did not happen?' bit hit the nail on the head. The Halo

On civility

I want to thank you for pointing out, on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jyllands-Posten_Muhammad_cartoons_controversy, that my statement "this is what's wrong with Wikipedia..." was itself not civil. Dmaftei 13:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you meant that sincerely.

Of course.Dmaftei 20:19, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Buddhism

Yeah, i totally agree. That's what attracted me to it in the first place. I hope you don't mind me asking, but are you a buddhist as well, or do you just have an interest in religion? Please feel free to decline to answer. I know a few people who don't like talking about religion. The Halo

I see. I only asked because you sounded like you knew about the sbject, which makes sense. The Halo 11:41 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Coloration of maps and charts

I'm red-green color blind, and would appreciate it if any map you made was not needlessly ambiguous to me. Dark red looks like black to me. Blue plus a little red looks blue to me. Blue plus a lot of red looks almost but not quite like dark blue. Light red looks red to me. As for the green, it's not normally a problem. There is a very narrow wavelengh band that looks green to normals and looks white to me. Almost all the time (grass, trees, crayons, clothing, etc) I see green just fine. However, the green in traffic lights looks dirty white to me. Thanks. WAS 4.250 20:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I see a map of the world with light blue oceans, dark blue US and other countries that "printed caricatures", 1000-5000 protestors marked by yellow in south Denmark, Syria and Lebonon marked by red indicating 5000-10000 protestors.

The rest I'm not sure about. I don't know what the thing in Saudi Arabia is about. I know they had a boycott, but others boycotted too. At first I thought south France was red like Syria and the zero to 500 color was that marking China etc. But after studying it for a while, now I think south France is the 500-1000 color and England is the 0-500 color. I'm not positive, but that last guess is my best guess; but it took a while to figure out.

Suggestion: I think widening the color bar on the chart would help color deficient people like me to "get it" with less struggle. I'm more than happy to help. Thanks for caring. WAS 4.250 14:50, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suggestions:

widen the color bar
add the color of China to the bar
as you indicated: other colors than the ones you used for France and Britain would help

Thanks again. WAS 4.250 08:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

China looks to me like what others call light gray (grey), and it looks like what others call light pink, and it looks like the green traffic lights. They all look the same to me. You could put the China "color" on the bar by putting in a section that you do the same "nothing" to it as you did China. Maybe put the bar ON china? WAS 4.250 17:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I once gave a beautiful silver colored card anniversary card to my wife, who remarked what a pretty pink it was. By turning the card at a steep angle so the coating on the surface of the card was all lined up, I could see some red. WAS 4.250 17:37, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the confusion. I was useing ther phrase "color of China" to represent what you now tell me is the color of the "uncolored" countries and just before that told me was grey/gray. Yes china's color looks the same to me as Russia etc. Sorry for not being more clear. WAS 4.250 20:55, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am looking forward to the map :) How is it going? If you have already published it, I apologize for bothering you, but I seem to have problems accessing some pages, like my login. DanielDemaret

The current map is fantastic! No complaints from me; the colors are clearly distinguishable; the intended meaning is conveyed as well as a map can; bravo; very well done. WAS 4.250 16:06, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re:vandalism

Hi - thanks for the message. To answer your first question, yes – it is possible to permanently ban an editor. However, your IP editor isn't a candidate for such a ban, at least not yet. There's a difference between a ban and a block; your IP editor has been blocked five times, the most recent being May 15, 2006 for 48 hours, but he hasn't been banned.

He's done some vandalizing today, but has apparently stopped for a while. Prior to today, he hadn't made any edits to Wikipedia since May 24. Unless he starts more aggressive kinds of abuse, he's not a candidate for a permanent ban right now because the blocks are having the desired effect, which is to get him to stop vandalizing.

If you see continuing vandalism, it's better to report it to admin intervention against vandalism than to me or another editor, because I may not see your message for several hours while they'll look into it right away. If I can answer any questions or provide more help, just let me know. Happy editing - BaseballBaby 22:09, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (File:RFU SGPS small.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:RFU SGPS small.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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:03, 12 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Library now offering accounts from Cochrane Collaboration (sign up!)

The Wikipedia Library (talk | edit)

Get free access to research!

...Support Open Access...

The Wikipedia Library gets Wikipedia editors free access to reliable sources that are behind paywalls. Because you are signed on as a medical editor, I thought you'd want to know about our most recent donation from Cochrane Collaboration.

Cochrane Collaboration is an independent medical nonprofit organization that conducts systematic reviews of randomized controlled trials of health-care interventions, which it then publishes in the Cochrane Library.
Cochrane has generously agreed to give free, full-access accounts to 100 medical editors. Individual access would otherwise cost between $300 and $800 per account.
If you are still active as a medical editor, come and sign up :)
