[edit] Re:When to use flags
Athletes in the Olympics are to represent their countries and to compete under their countries' flags, so having flags next to their names is approprate. The Olympics are political in nature. However, the national flag has no bearing or relevance on the population of a city. When we list countries there, we do so mainly for geographic and not political reference. --Jiang 06:58, 27 Aug 2004 (UTC)
[edit] About the world city page
Hi Rascalb:
Sorry, but I'm reverting your additions to the "World city" page. If you look at the extremely tortured history page and the discussion page, you'll see that trolls have repeatedly vandalized all lower levels of the full copy of the GaWC list on the "World city" page practically every day for almost four months.
Randwicked took most of the list off the page to bring such nonsense to a stop, and I suspect most people who keep this page on their watchlist have acquiesced in his decision because we're all sick and tired of reverting vandalism on the page.
Of course, if you're willing to patrol the page every day to guard against such vandalism, then feel free to revert back my reversion and then add a notice of your intent to the discussion page.

[edit] Image Tagging Image:Pauley perrette.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Pauley perrette.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then 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 media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 16:43, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spelling error
With regards to Image:1952 wolympics logo.png, I assume this is a recreation done by yourself. It is really nice, but there is a spelling error. It says "VINTRLEKER"; it should be "VINTERLEKER". Is it possible for you to change this? -- Egil 12:15, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
