Hello. Nice work on the York Minster astronomical clock. It's still there, and as you describe. I've always wondered exactly what all the dials meant! Best wishes. --RobertG ♬ talk 10:27, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Robert - I need to work on the text a bit, but at least the clock's still there! Cormullion 11:05, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I assume you have Tor Soernes' book in English, but can you tell me where you obtained it and how much it cost? I would like to order it. Thanks.Schwilgue 15:07, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

no I haven't sorry - I've only got Geared to the Stars by Henry King... Cormullion 16:11, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, I will search in the history who added that reference. King's book is nice, but not everything in it is accurate, I have been told.Schwilgue 17:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Clocks-from-metropolis.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Clocks-from-metropolis.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation 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. Thirdship (talk) 08:22, 1 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Yes it's a still from a film, I can't see any other rationale other than - how else would you include it? I've spent 15 minutes reading the various wikipedia articles about adding a 'fair-use rationale' and I'm now much more confused than before. It's too complicated! I really don't have enough time to learn it all properly, so the image had better be deleted until I've time to do it properly. :( Cormullion (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TWELV

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article TWELV, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of TWELV. B.

St Mark's Clock in Venice

In the article concerning the St Mark's Clock in Venice, in a part added by you, I read: "The signs of the zodiac are in anticlockwise order around the inner zodiac dial: the zodiac wheel rotates clockwise with the hour hand but slips back slightly with each rotation, so that the hour hand slowly passes through each zodiac sign in the course of the year."

I think it must be " ..... but slips forward slightly with each rotation ....." i.e. the zodiac wheel rotates faster than de hour hand.

Can you agree?

Willy Leenders (Flanders in Belgium) willy.leenders@pandora.be 14:39, 9 april 2008 (UTC)

Hi! You're right, I think the effect is that the zodiac wheel goes round very slightly faster than the hour hand, so the net result is for them to get out of step, the hour hand creeps slowly anticlockwise round the zodiac. Cormullion (talk) 17:45, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Vostok 24 Hour Watch (photograph)

Hi Cormullion, do you know what model the watch you have is? Not only could we indicate it on the "24 hour analog dial" article, but I'm also very interested in finding one for myself! Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanderlewis (talk • contribs) 21:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know the model, and there's no numbers on the back or anything - but I bought this in 2001, and they were described then as "the old model", so could be hard to find now... :( Cormullion (talk) 18:00, 21 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Clocks-from-metropolis.png

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Clocks-from-metropolis.png. 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).

PLEASE NOTE:

I am a bot, and will therefore will not be able to answer your questions.

I will remove the request for deletion if the file is used once again.

If you recieved this notice after the image is deleted, and you want to restore the image, click here to file an un-delete request.

To opt out of these bot messages, add {{bots|deny=DASHBot}} to somewhere on your talk page.

Thank you. DASHBot (talk) 10:00, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
