Orphaned non-free image (Image:Acontrecourant.jpg)
Thanks for uploading Image:Acontrecourant.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:28, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server was sorely in need of some work, and I've substantially changed the article. Since you seem to have an interest in some of the other Windows Server articles, perhaps you might be kind enough to cast your eyes over this one and see what you think and if you have anything to add or any commentary to make? :) njan 19:38, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your edits! I did mean to {{cite}} those <ref>s, honest. ;) njan 18:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
- It's good, if bulky. Being configurably-compactable is neat! The Microsoft sub-template could use some work; it seems like a bin into which a bunch of their products and other corporate information is thrown. At risk of over complicate things, I might consider something like splitting this out into three subtemplates - Business products (Windows Server, System Center, etc), Consumer products (most of their hardware, Desktop Windows, Games, etc), and Corporate Organisation (clumsy title), with corporate/investor/organisation-type information. The Windows Server packages could do with a refresh, too, as could the summaries of the line on some of the article pages; they can come across as something of a mishmash, and rebrands like SpeechServer/LCS/OCS and System Center aren't terribly reflected (or represented at all in this template), and there are some important products missing.. good work. :) njan 19:09, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I need your help
Hey, I need your help on this dispute before I do anything stupid. Since you're an admin, you probably have better judgement. Do you think he should be reverting to his version before discussion is over? — Alex(U|C|E) 23:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry for the late reply, I wasn't online. When in a dispute first thing to do is to make sure no one keeps reverting to their own version. Talk it out first. So, whenever people are pushing their own version, get the article protected. Using WP:RFPP is probably a better option than requesting an admin because the admin might not be online at that time. But if you are sure that s/he is online, personal request will have a quicker response. Keep in mind that protection does not mean endorsement of that version, so if a wrong version is protected (which is always the case, depending on PoV :D) dont mean it cant be changed. If there has been a prior consensus, point that out in the request. The admin will decide if that version has merits to be the protected version. When the article is protected, discuss, preferably on the article talk page. If it does not seem to lead anywhere, call an RfC, invite others to comment and follow the dispute resolution procedure, as Jossi has said.
- Regarding the dispute, I am ill suited to make a comment, because I am hardly aware of the subject. But the point made by Kuban kazak (talk · contribs) about breaking consistency seems valid. You should probably invite other editors who contributed to the article to make a comment. Regards, and all the best. --soum talk 07:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- It is fairly similar to the Kiev/Kyiv dispute. As for talking it out, trying to talk it out with him doesn't really work. He goes into personal/national attacks during discussions. — Alex(U|C|E) 07:22, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... Somehow I'm leaning towards starting Wikipedia:Ukrainian language policy, this is the only language that seems to have those disputes on Wikipedia. You think I should do that? — Alex(U|C|E) 10:36, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- I am not sure calling it a policy this early is not a good idea. But yeah having something to guide in the case of disputes is definitely worth it. IMO, it should be a proposed guideline. I would also suggest you write a first draft in userspace, get a peer review and some support before moving it to the wikipedia namespace. --soum talk 10:45, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I wasn't going to post it to Wikipedia namespace right away. I might have some people from the WikiProject help me out. — Alex(U|C|E) 10:52, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds like a plan. :D You should definitely go for it. Even if nothing comes out, the discussion will be of great help in further disputes. Language disputes are pretty frustrating. You wont believe there has been a huge debate whether Jana Gana Mana (the Indian National Anthem, originally written in Classical Bengali, adopted as the national anthem of a country whose national language is Hindi) should be written in Hindi or Bengali. It cant get any more lame than this!!! :P --soum talk 10:58, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Heh. What are your suggestions for a name, though? :-) — Alex(U|C|E) 11:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, tough question. You can start with any name, it can be refined as content gets added. How about "Ukranian naming guideline"? --soum talk 11:10, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- I'll sleep on it. But I plan to cover more than just naming, maybe something along the lines of "Wikipedia:Ukrainian language guidelines". — Alex(U|C|E) 11:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- A generic name is probably better. :) --soum talk 11:20, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

- Well, one thing MediaWiki really hates is flowed text. Try not to use it that much, use regular text boxes. Also, remember to set the page size to the same as your drawing's size. I'm fixing it right now for you. By the way, it is best to save as Plain SVG. — Alex(U|C|E) 08:06, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I invented the word Teawaker myself and wrote the text (effectively quoted) myself. How can it be a copyright problem?

your idea sounds good
Your idea sounds fine. If anything like that happens, there are always details to work out, such as the exact name, etc. Do we want one per week? Or, if 3 months is too long, how about a slate of several people each month? Do we want minimum requirements so as not to disappoint editors (such as 250 quality edits, with the candidate or nominator determining himself/herself what is a "quality" edit. The candidate could always contend that 1,000 minor edits and no quality edits is worthy of recognition)VK35 19:04, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Dear Recipient,
'Somatic Movement Coach' is a professional title recognised through ISMETA (International Somatic Movement Education and Therapy Association) and through the United States of America Department of Labour.
ISMETA has a page on wikipedia so do other ISMETA recognised fields like FELDENKRAIS.
The article intends to advise the general public about this particular way of coaching within the Somatic Movement professional field.
Could you please advice what is needed to get the article approved?

Thank you for at least offering to undelete the image if I could get it released (I have the original, and if that happens I will just upload it to Commons). But really ... one week?

God. The woman who took the photo is being a real bitch about it. Says she's afraid she won't make any money (her huge portfolio of celebrity, fashion and advertising photos notwithstanding) if she starts doing that. So I'm looking at some other ones.
Of course, I have offered to start an article about her (she easily meets WP:N; she's done a lot of celebrity photography) if that changes her mind. I may even do that if she keeps saying no (which will, of course, affect what sources I use ... hello LEXIS! Wonder what I might find there). Daniel Case 04:14, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Article merges (Windows Server domain into Active Directory)
I think the Windows Server domain article as it stands is rather odd, and should ideally be merged as indicated above. Thoughts? (Merge talk) njan 19:42, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- I've been thinking about this subect, too. The thing is, Windows Server domains in NT 3 and 4 have nothing to do with Active Directory, and Active Directory Application Mode has nothing to do with Windows Server domains. Another approach would be to rename "Windows Server domain" to "Windows NT domain" and focus the article on the earlier domain model.
- On the same subject, maybe we should also be looking at merging the various articles on domain controllers and FSMOs and that kind of thing. -/- Warren 19:23, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Something needs to be done with them, for sure, and Soumyash's comments on the talk page do have a certain logic to them - actually, there is no NT Domain Article, something I hadn't realised. I think refactoring the Windows Server domain article as an NT Domain article and positioning it to sit alongside the Active Directory article as a companion isn't a bad idea.
- I'm less sure about some of those. I think some articles, like the FSMO one, benefit from being independent. The Domain Controller article certainly seems a little stub-like and should either be fleshed out or merged. njan 19:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Separating NT domains out seems like a good idea. And Active Directory is used for a lot of things, may be separating out the various roles might help go deeper into each. As for domain controllers, well, there were primary domain controllers and backup controllers, but that got deprecated. Now read only controllers are back again. So, it can have significant stuff. I will try to chalk out a layout for the series of articles, and put it up for discussion. --soum talk 10:03, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
Leopard Article
I have posted my apologies for not clearly reading your comments and reading more into them than there actually was. I offered further commentary on the talk page over there. Cheers. Nja247 (talk • contribs) 21:12, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
- Accepted. :) --soum talk 08:44, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Re:A translation issue
"mahakuma" is probably "block". Not sure about "kachhari", it may be something like "court", as in court of law, or, as in court of kings or zamindars.--Dwaipayan (talk) 04:48, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- Let me correct this: a Mahakuma (মহকুমা) is a subdivision of a district. [2]. A Kachari কাছারি is a court of justice, a law court; a magistrate's court, a kachhari, a cutcherry; an office; a zamindar's (জমিদারের) or a feudal lord's court and office. [3]. Please refer to the online Samsad Bangla dictionary. Thanks. --Ragib 07:31, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
British Association for immediate Care
i note that you deleted this (while i was overhauling it to make it in to a wikipedia appropriate article). It's been created by a newbie, and whilst in desperate need of attention from an experienced editor (which i was in the process of doing), it was a valid article, on a notable charity operating in the UK. I have recreated it for this reason, and i hope you can see that it is an appropriate subject. Any comments welcome on my talk page. Regards Owain.davies 14:13, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
- thanks for that, i'll beat it in to shape over the next few days! Owain.davies 18:46, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

2007 in music and IP 61.94.xxx.xxx
Hello again, Soumyasch ... I have asked PeaceNT (talk · contribs) to protect 2007 in music for the same reason that they protected 2008 in music last night ... the anon. vandal from Jakarta is back:
- 61.94.192.85 (talk · contribs)
- 61.94.193.201 (talk · contribs)
- 61.5.92.136 (talk · contribs)
The first two are in the "companion" range we identified that was Too Large to block, and the third is from the range that was temporarily blocked.
Frack me for even bothering to check up on this again after last night! :-) Happy Editing! —72.75.70.147 (talk · contribs) 07:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Not sure if this was a mistake or not, but in your one month block, you didn't turn on account creation blocked, so the vandal could create a new account right now. --(Review Me) R ParlateContribs@ (Let's Go Yankees!) 13:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
Amazon page
I do not like the fact that you attempted to censor my valid point re Xena and Hercules. If one can write about Wonderwoman as part of modern literature then why cann't TV series be also. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davinashetty (talk • contribs)
My userpage
BTW, can you protect my userpage from creation, as I really don't want one and before it was a source of vandalism. Thanks! --Evilclown93(talk) 11:55, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey...
No administrators have commented yet... Not sure what to do about it. — Alex(U|C|E) 14:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
- Same for the WP:RFP request... — Alex(U|C|E) 14:40, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
Just so you know, I'm not trying to push you to help, I just have no idea what to do myself. — Alex(U|C|E) 05:37, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks! You think I should go ahead and go for WP:RFC? Or should I wait? — Alex(U|C|E) 05:58, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- The mediator went on a break, so I moved it up to MedCom. I'm not sure, I'm thinking about giving the guy (Kuban kazak) a second chance, but I have a feeling he'll just go on restoring his revisions of articles. — Alex(U|C|E) 06:02, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, thanks for the advice. I'll see what he does today/tomorrow. If he continues, RfC it is. — Alex(U|C|E) 06:08, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
Reed Tucker
Whats up with deleting the Reed Tucker page? He is actually a real guy. He's the useless producer of the Lazlow Show. (lazlow dot com)
While the biography is a little comedic it does have truth to it.
The name is also used in GTA3 but he is real. He just used his own name as the character name. But the page is definately no hoax. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.59.182.170 (talk • contribs)
