[edit] Image:Soviet Union flag large.png
Hello, welcome to Wikipedia. Well, we already have an image like that being used, called Image:Flag of the Soviet Union.png. Because of that, I am going to replace your image and have it deleted by WP:IFD. If you have any questions, let me know, please. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 02:10, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Olympic flags
The name of the flag image is less of a concern if you use Wikipedia:WikiProject Flag Template IOC templates for those flags. Note that for individual Olympics a specific template has to be used to point to that Olympic's page, due to most countries having no Olympic portal page and also so the correct flag for that era can be used. Although {{countryedit|CountryName}} can be used for general country setup there is no equivalent for individual years. So the first time a country is used in, for example, {{FlagIOC-1992|IOCCountryCode}} the values will have to be defined. (18:35, 25 July 2005 (UTC))

[edit] Revert of Iran flag
Hi there, any reason you reverted my new 
? —behdad (talk) 01:37, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
Whoops, I think I did that on accident. Sorry about that. You can go ahead and change it back, I didn't have any grounds for altering the image. --El Cid 04:20, 5 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Wanted to ask a favor
There's currently a dispute on the Ryu (Street Fighter) discussion page (and the Chun-Li one) regarding having trivia about ties between Ryu and Chun-Li posted. I've cited the sources that verify that some works include such ties, but Locke Cole is being unbelievably immature and calling both edits fancruft when he can't prove that claim (fancruft is detailed). Since you'd previously helped edit Chun-Li's page with information regrading this, I'd appreciate if you'd contribute a word or two on either discussion page about why the trivia should stay (if you feel that way). Thanks. --James26 12:48, 13 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Tokyo subway map
Your Tokyo subway map is nice! Any chance of multi-licensing it under Creative Commons by-sa, so it can be used on Wikitravel as well? And do you have the original vector graphics for the map? Jpatokal 04:10, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd like to help you out, but I'm really not sure on how to change the licensing on commons. If you could give some tips, I'll get rigt on it. And sorry, but I created the file originally in .png format using GIMP 2.0. El Cid 05:08, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Thanks for help with baseball team infobox
I just wanted to drop by and thank you for the constructive and refreshing way you handled my suggestion about the baseball infoboxes. I think that we can make it a cool template for international baseball. And you picked up the Template:Football kit methodology quickly--the Hanshin Tigers pinstripes look great!

| I, Rolando, hereby award you this Minor Barnstar for the great job you did with the infoboxes on the Japanese baseball teams (particularly the uniforms, which look fantastic). Rolando (talk) 15:51, 16 September 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] Unspecified source for Image:P-P-P-Powerbook.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:P-P-P-Powerbook.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Angr 11:54, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary
Would you consider releasing your recent edits to Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary into the Public Domain so I can use them on my own website. Thanks, 83.70.106.136 14:14, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- All of Wikipedia's text is licensed under the GFDL [1], individual editors can't decide how their edits are licensed. Of course, that means you can still use it on your website as long as you credit Wikipedia and don't put any restrictions on how it can be used. Go ahead and send me a link to your site when you put it on there, just for my own curiosity. El Cid 23:57, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi again. All editors to Wikipedia must license their contributions under the GFDL yes, however you still own the copyright to your text and you can do what you want with that copyright. Some editors will dual license (usually under a Creative Commons license) while other editors (like me) choose to release the copyright of their text and images altogether. So before you edited the Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary page all that text was in the public domain (as I wrote it). If you are willing to release your additions in to Public Domain all you need to do is:
- Say you are willing to do so on this talk page.
- Put {{User PD}} on your user page. (Note that this will release all your contributions into the Public Domain for as long as the template remains.)
- Add the text to the WikiKnowledge version or the article. This has the advantage that even though you would be releasing all rights to it, your name would show up in the page history. Here is a link to the article as you asked for it.
The Kodansha Kanji Learner's Dictionary has to be the best dictionary ever made. I find the skip system very easy to learn and use, and the dictionary contains so much information. I myself am currently working on a Japanese to English dictionary at WikiKnowledge. I didn't realize how much work would be involved when I started :). You're welcome to help out if you are so inclined.
Thanks, Gerard Foley 22:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
The Wikipedia:Multi-licensing guide explains this in more detail. Gerard Foley 22:49, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
- Ah, I'd seen templates like that, but I thought it only refered to things like user pages and stuff. Sounds good to me, I'll go ahead and add that to my user page, and state explicitly here that I release the KKLD edit and all other text edits into the Public Domain. I'll add the edit into Wikiknowledge now too. El Cid 00:17, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

- Thanks very much! I'll leave you to add the additions to the WikiKnowledge version of the article so you still get credit for it. Gerard Foley 01:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Moor link on your userpage
Hi, the link you have about your Moorish ancestry points to Moor, which is a disambiguation page. The page about the group of people called the Moors is at Moors. Also, Moorish redirects to Moors. I'd change it myself for you but that last user I did that for got mad. Brad T. Cordeiro 00:18, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
- Huh, must have changed since I added it. Thanks for the heads up, now people won't be any more confused by my fake ancestry than they might have been otherwise. ; ) El Cid 00:34, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
