User:Red Pooka

Ok, I just installed Firefox 2.0, I come to look at my userpage... AGH! It's all messed up! All of the box things have round corners, not normal 90 degree corners! And what's up with all of the images not having backgrounds anymore?! HALP!!! --RedPooka 19:28, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Never mind, I've got it fixed. :) I uploaded a plethora of those images (with actual backgrounds, notice they have grey and white backgrounds like you see in sucky Internet Explorer, and that the code that is causing the round corners is

-moz-border-radius: 20px;

so I am just removing that bit from eveyrthing. Thanks anyways. :) --RedPooka 04:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:RichardPark-intl.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:RichardPark-intl.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will 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. Khatru2 09:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

BEEP! The dryer is done, you can put your pants back on. =) Thanks for the chuckle and support with my RfA. My nomination succeeded. It's an honor to join the admin ranks and I can only hope that I do as good of a job as you. Thanks again! =) -- Gogo Dodo 05:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

panorama

I like your GM Place photo (and I think I may even know someone in the photo!) and I noticed your "hours of stitching" comment. I'm wondering what software you used because it looks pretty seamless. I've been using the "photomerge" in photoshop, but there are still visible seams even if they're relatively inobtrusive (e.g., in the big panorama on the Vancouver page - skies are especially a pain in the butt). I did download some new software but haven't gotten around to trying it out yet because new computer things always cost me way more time than I can afford - so I thought I might pick your brain first. Thanks, Bobanny 07:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, well. The flaws are only evident in the big version though - the thumbnail on the article looks great for illustrating the subject and for adding a little splash of burgundy onto a mostly water-and-sky blue page and that Salvador Dali warble is kind of fun too. It's probably an impossible subject to get much better because of the light/dark extremes without expensive equipment, and flashes are meant for living rooms, not hockey arenas. But if you've got to choose, go for sharpness next time, since colour can be corrected after the fact.Bobanny 10:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Redirect

Hi. I've noticed a redirect pointing to a page in your user space (The Jersey (short film)). Redirects such as these are discouraged except temporarily after moving a page to user space. The reason for this is that either the redirect is an potential legitimate article title – in which case it should not point to a user page because they are generally considered to be "owned" by that user, not freely editable by everyone as articles should be – or it is an inappropriate article title, in which case it shouldn't exist at all. If not, please delete the redirect. If the user page is intended to be an article, please move it out of user space to a suitable title. Redirects to user pages may be speedy deleted at any time under the criteria for speedy deletion, so it may disappear at some point anyway. Thanks – Gurch 11:19, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I would like to complain about you, you are abusing your power

Hi Buchanan,

Can you help me? I need to lodge a complaint against a fellow wiki editor. This wiki editor goes out of his way to take disciplinary actions against other wiki editors, all the while while flagrantly abusing the wiki policies.

To wit while you banned my username since you erroneously believe that "point of view" is solely a wiki term, and you are not threatening to block me, now we can all see that you are clearly using your wiki page as a myspace page and/or a blog. Check out the comments above: "ooh! I hope you did well on your exams! OMG BUnnies!" And things like that.

This is contradictory to wiki policy and I ask you to remove all of your myspace/blogging content.

And can you please explain to me how to lodge a complaint against you? And stay cool, and let's see if you can do that without threatening to have my wiki editing privileges revoked. 71.39.78.68 01:18, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Same vandal going after Gordon Campbell again...

Hey. 24.108.184.26 (talk · contribs) appears to be back vandalising the Gordon Campbell page again. Maybe a longer length of a ban is in order this time? :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 06:35, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. Go figure. I love how this article gets constant alcohol references when it is pretty much a "dead horse." Oh. I am going to miss BC politics soon. :: Colin Keigher (Talk) 08:14, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Yan Stastny is Canadian

Yes, Yan Stastny does play for Team USA. But the flag is to show what nationality he is, not for who he plays for. He is from Quebec. He has to play for USA because he was raised in St. Louis and can not play for Canada because he didn't live or play there long enough. Please keep it as shown. Cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dotcanada (talk • contribs) 19:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

See: [2] and [3]. Particularly item II.B.5: Dual Citizenship. Basically, he has both Canadian and U.S. citizenship and he CHOSE to play internationally as an American in the USA Hockey governed USHL and in IIHF tournaments. Essentially he pledged his American nationality to the hockey world, hence the US flag on Bruins roster. IIHF national team eligibility is complicated, but I've never stumbled upon any requirement regarding length of residence. If you stand by that statement, please back it up with a reference.

Request per your listing in Category:Wikipedia administrators who will provide copies of deleted articles

Can you check the deleted history of Wong Shun Leung and see if it is comparable/the same as the current articel? The current page at that name is a horrible mess (Although its being cleaned up) and if it was deleted before, it might be worth deleting again. Thanx. 68.39.174.238 15:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Sam Sullivan

I've noticed that you removed 'His Worship' off his image caption. By the Styles of address of Canada[4], a mayor is to be addressed as 'His/Her Worship' while he/she is in office.

Please do not put your religious beliefs onto my edits and I've reverted your change
