[edit] Wikiversity:Censorship
I added some background on Wikiversity talk:Censorship in response to your request for clarity on my talk page. I'm curious as to why you're interested in that particular page and not others such as Wikiversity:Consensus. --CQ 14:16, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
[edit] image license info

- Thanks, I hadn't spotted that, I was just working on trying to reduce the number of uncategorised files. I'm not sure whether it would be appropriate to copy that information to the relevant files or leave that for the uploader to do. Adambro 13:00, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
On a related note, I have a bot maintaining User:Mu301Bot/Candidates_for_speedy_deletion and User:Mu301Bot/Contested candidates for deletion which allows me to watchlist when pages are added or removed from those categories. I also tagged all of the CC-NC licensed files. There are a lot, and the uploader has not been very responsive. --mikeu talk 13:07, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] No license for image
Hi,
I recently uploaded a PDF image that I am using for a reference. You sent me a message that said the image would be removed if I didn't provide copyright information. The image is my own work and I don't have any issues with anyone else looking at it or using it. I think I added the necessary permissions to teh file but since this is the first time I have done this I am not sure. Please take a look at the page an let me know if I have satisfied the Wiki requirements for posting an image. The file name was Graph1.pdf.
Thanks, Joe Gaddone 01:19, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] civility stuff
Hiya. Not to in any way imply that you're the "bad dog in the fight", but comments like "I'm not going to waste my time trying to satisfy your appetite..." (on RFD) don't really help to raise the level of discourse.
If you think it's a waste of time responding to him, it's probably better to just not respond. --SB_Johnny talk 19:14, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
- I don't intend to beyond what I have said and I hope that it now clear to him. Adambro 19:28, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Since you seem to be the only active sysop at the moment...
I'd like to give you a heads up about U7a (talk | email | contribs | stats). I've tagged all his created pages for speedy deletion; this user's usual behavior is to spam a wiki with a bunch of unrelated pages, which is what he's done here. sulutil:U7a will show some of his blocked accounts (though the toolserver is a little wonky), but I can verify that he's blocked on en.wikiquote, en.wiki, en.wiktionary, and ru.wiki. His edits here are the same as his edits on enwiki and en.wikiquote (the latter is where I first ran into him, as I blocked him there after noticing his patterns and verifying his deleted contributions on enwiki).
So, anyway, it's Wikiversity's problem to deal with now. ;) EVula // talk // 19:39, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- Adambro, why you delete my information about high techenologies?? Alexander Kalinins Lazars son 20:38, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- Please give me some time to appropriately review your contributions. Adambro 20:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks for restoring, Adambro. i just put an information about the new technologies, i dont advertise any name or any company. let a reader to know what is under developing now:) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by U7a (talk • contribs) 16:49, 10 October 2009 (UTC)
- If you note on User:U7a's userpage, there's a section about the "Wifi universal card". This is a topic that has been deleted from both Wikiquote and Wikipedia. The content of both deleted pages is identical to what he has on his user page. As to not advertising any name or company, he's advertising (in a generic sense) products that he's developing. The enwiki talk page for "Wifi card" was "please leave this article, you cant find it anywhere else. its a new innovation:)", while he's also the author of the deleted enwiki page w:en:Alexander Kalinins Lazars son which was very spammish ("... could be interested in partnership with a group of developers"), and the talk page was " is a little biographie about me to explain to a reader what iam always working on technological ideas even if i dont say anything." Also created was w:en:Management on demand, which started off with "Electronic price labels - found by Alexander Kalinin Lazars son in 2004 year."

- Thanks for your assistance with this. It took a little bit of time for me to understand the situation. Normally people just post a load of links when they are trying to promote something. As you've explained, it is clear having looked at all these pages and understanding the context, that they don't seem to be genuine attempts to make educational resources. As such, I've deleted the pages as being beyond the scope of the project. Adambro 10:26, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Changes to tabbed portal template
Hi Adambro,
You may have noticed I have changed the following back to how they were previously:
Problem: the links on the tabs on Portal:FLOSS4Science stopped working.
Is there a way the collection of templates could be adjusted to serve both of our needs?
For example, a clearer way to add tabs without affecting other portals?
Thanks - K 15:29, 13 November 2009 (UTC)
- I'm afraid I'm not really familiar with these templates. My only involvement was to revert some vandalism that recently occurred. The widths seem to have been changed by Duydude. I get the impression from a quick look at these templates that they could probably be improved to enable them to be used more widely in different situations but I suspect it would take a reasonable length of time to achieve.
