Hi jjron,
Yeah that'd probably be OK (as long as it's better! :P), only thing I might say is that I actually took two new(ish) shots myself:

Hi Jjron,
I was sad to see you saying on the peer review page that you aren't planning on commenting on illustrations in the future. We are all volunteers, and researching and editing illustrations is a huge amount of work that takes a long time, but I also think it is very valuable. So, if you don't think it's worth your time, that's fine, but do know that the fact that you make detailed comments on illustrations is appreciated by at least one lazy, uninvolved observer! - Enuja ( talk) 21:13, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Jjron, I want to thank you for your help with promoting the Wayne Gretzky image. And I was also wondering if you could give your opinion about another hockey image; [3] This cropped image show two players ( Jonas Nordquist & Esa Pirnes) concentrating on the puck before a faceoff. I know the image only show part of the players but IMO there is no better way to illustrate a faceoff, so the image has a very high encyclopedic value IMO. Do you think an non cropped, better post processed, high resolution photo would stand a chance in a FPC? Best regards. -- Krm500 ( talk) 16:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
Jjron,
It is very possible that the narration on one slide flowed onto a second slide.But I have 35 slides and it is happening on all of them.
Although I have not set the size of the narration for each slide because I am not sure how to do it. Maybe it is set for a short narration and mine are too long and as you say flows to the next slide.
Thanks for the idea. 23:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC) 76.188.26.251 ( talk)

Hi there. In light of your comments on the FPC talkpage (before I, uh, kind of hijacked the thread), I think that you and I (and others, if I understand their comments correctly) have some similar ideas regarding a different level of recognition outside the featured picture mechanism. You mentioned that you already had put some thought into something along those lines - if you're looking for a sounding board or second opinion before putting it all out there on the FPC talkpage (or wherever), please consider me (and my talk page) available if you like. Based on the other comments in the thread, I think there's a real desire to get something else out there, though obviously there are some pitfalls we'd all like to avoid. If you don't have room on your plate for that kind of thing right now, I'll probably throw something out there on the FPC talkpage and see what the community feeling is. Cheers!

_________ JJron, I read someone's comments on my picture submission. He/she is probably right. I cannot go back to Las Vegas to retake the picture and as was stated, it may be a copyright violation (although I took this picture myself, there is no doubt about that). Maybe re-taking an image, which may appear somewhere else in the world constitutes copyright violation. In any case, I am tired of arguing any of the points. So there goes the "wow" effect.

I recently nominated a John Tenniel illustration as a featured picture candidate, but I've come to a bit of a problem. When I went to insert the FPC tag on the image page, I noticed that the file is still residing on Commons. What's the proper way to handle this? Do I just go to Commons and simply add the tag there? That's what makes sense to me, but what makes sense to me ain't always the way things get done!

stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.
Listen pal, I decided to message you myself. On two occasions you have critisised me. One for my wording, one for my opposition to an image. I had a perfectly good reason for opposing it. If im wrong, more people will support the image, and I will be out-voted. But that has not happened. In fact, most of the people who have added comments, have all been relatively similar to my point of view. But you only questioned my opinion. Why is this? Is there some reason why you have decided you dont like me or don't think my opinion is valid? You are getting close to the point of harrassment.
In the other case, you picked up the fact that I incorrectly worded my support. I believe that everyone understood what I meant, especially as I said "the new one without the leave." I have also, infact, recieved an email about this, where a member said he agreed with my reaction to you. Regards, Grant ← κεηηε∂γ ( talk) 09:37, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
On the current nom I validly pointed out that your Oppose - the only one on the nomination - was not a valid reason. I even quoted the Wikipedia:Featured picture criteria that you had clearly not understood. If you don't understand criteria, or don't understand the topic you are voting on (which you clearly don't here), then I'd suggest you stay away from that nomination. For crying out loud, how am I singling you out to be attacked when you are the only one that has opposed??? On the other nomination that you refer to I pointed out that your vote was not valid as it referred to an image that did not exist. Do you want your votes counted or not? I often close FPCs, and your vote simply would be discarded on that nom as it did not refer to a valid option. In fact I'd suggest you watch the Wikipedia:No personal attacks business yourself, as it is you that called me a fool, and you that has now attacked me on my userpage. Any of my comments have simply addressed your votes and pointed out that they are possibly not valid. If you don't wish people to comment on your votes, then don't make them. If you do make them, then make sure they're valid. -- jjron ( talk) 14:04, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, You commented on a photograph i had taken a while ago at peer review. Interestingly User:Adam.J.W.C. took that image and (poorly, in my view), photoshopped part of the subject out. Someone changed it back, he promptly reverted the edit with an edit summary containing "because no one wants to see the guy in the photograph". Promptly after that he replaced it with an image of his own. The prominient graffiti in this shot has been clearly photoshopped, taken from the image I photographed. In my view the image is inferior for the purposes of the article, and a person in the shot is a useful thing. I haven't made any contest to his edits yet. I am wondering about your opinion on the matter (the edits seem personally motivated), and if you know anything about Wikipedia policy on doctored images. Noodle snacks ( talk) 08:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
I haven't checked the second image shown here at fullsize for signs of photoshopping (other than to say that that 'face' graffiti is eerily similar), but if it is doctored then the same policy concerns would apply to it. Can I suggest that you both also need to be wary of the Wikipedia:Three-revert rule.A disadvantage of allowing original photographs to be uploaded is the possibility of editors using photo manipulation to distort the facts or position being illustrated by the photo. Manipulated images should be prominently noted as such. If the manipulation materially affects the encyclopedic value of the image, they should be posted to Wikipedia:Images for deletion.
Although most of the changes which you made to the Australian Synchrotron wiki entry were productive (thanks for the photos), it seems that you are a little overconfident with your accelerator physics.
In particular, replacing the synchrotron radiation link with a link to radiation was not particularly useful. The entire purpose of the $200M facility is to produce synchrotron radiation. It is best to maintain a link to the synchrotron radiation wiki-entry. Yes, synchrotron radiation is a form of radiation but the term synchrotron radiation chracterises it more accurately.
Also, the booster is a synchrotron, unlike the storage ring where niether the magnetic field or the electric fields are varied. (Please refer to the article synchrotron which provides an adequate description).

Hey, good job! We can only wait the day when the software allows for the original nom and delist noms to be automatically transcluded! Pstuart84 Talk 18:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I noticed you put "NB" and then the credit for the original picture that I cropped. What does "NB" stand for? Elephantissimo ( talk) 20:46, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Hmm I could have sworn it was the final stage but looks like you're right. I'll change description. Not sure if it's worth re uploading with the new name, but I might after the nom is closed (one less page to update!) -- Fir0002 06:23, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
Are you implying that frequency of occurrence makes a practice acceptable? It seems to me that leaving a comment citing the number of edits has a purpose. Why point it out if it's not meant to influence the readers of the debate? Clearly it is an attempt to suggest that the comments of a relatively new user are of less value, while providing no incite into the substance of the comment itself. Wikipedia is not an oligarchy. User:Fir0002 has nominated his own photo and is in this case shows a disregard for the opinions of other editors. Specifically, if you look at the comments he has left, they respond to the oppose !votes, with little substantive address of the reasons why his photos shouldn't be featured. He is neither acting in good faith, nor is he acting in a manner consistent with working towards consensus. He's not "Acknowledging differing principles and a willingness to reach consensus". I find it most unsettling that User:Fir0002 also seems to use wikipedia to promote his services as a photographer and explicitly requests financial support on his userpage. I'm trying to Act in Good Faith, but more and more his contributions seem to be spam. And as much as I can admire his skill and his contributions, he still appears to be a passive-aggressive bully. Anyway, can you really tell me that you think the composition is good in that image? Especially compared to User:Fir0002's other works, this is just okay, and definitely not wikipedia's best.

A tag has been placed on Image:Brolga-1-Healesville,-Vic,-3.1.2008.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Brolga-1-Healesville,-Vic,-3.1.2008.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi John,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture Image:Brolga-1-Healesville,-Vic,-3.1.2008 edit.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on August 15, 2008. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2008-08-15. howcheng { chat} 23:41, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, i saw you added {{ NoCommons}} some time ago to the pic page. I'm just curious, why do you want it to still be available here? diego_pmc ( talk) 17:47, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Jjron. This is about Image:German instrument of surrender1a.jpg. I know little about speedy deletion criteria for images, but I looked at this one to see if I could close it. You have tagged it as a {{ missing image}}, which I understand means 'corrupt or empty.' Since the image is clearly there, and I can view a resized thumbnail, what do you see as the problem with it? EdJohnston ( talk) 15:03, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey jjron, could you take a look at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Keizersgracht in Amsterdam. Most if not all of the supporters seem new to the project. Thanks, Muhammad (talk) 11:43, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for cleaning up after LordSunday and helping clear the backlog and preserving my sanity in the process - things that probably wouldn't have been done (properly) for yonks if you didn't. MER-C 13:12, 29 August 2008 (UTC) |
Just a heads up: I intend to change the order in which new FPs are added to WP:GO to the newest being on top, perhaps this Sunday. It was a lot easier to code. I did my first run with the program on Sunday - there were a few minor issues which I fixed. It's still very sketchy and only I can use it at the moment, but it covers steps 3, 4, 7, 8 (and soon 1, 2, 10 and 11) of the promotion procedure. MER-C 10:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
That's really weird. I can't remember whether I ran the program for that edit or stopped it earlier. This was an automated edit (I'll start tagging them as such once it's ready for public use). I will be testing all of next week. MER-C 11:03, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

G'day,
I was just curious as to how you got inside the synchrotron building in order to photograph it? Was it something like the telescope I photographed the other day (turn up and ask the person in charge to take a photograph)?

I recently proposed thet Wikipedia adopt its own Valued image department. Images with Valued status on Wikipedia would be highly encyclopedic images that succesfuly illustrated a point. I proposed the idea at the village Pump, only to find that you had already not only done so yourself, but had drawn up a rough draft for the project. I also see that, after the success of Valued Images on Commons, the project has fallen to the wayside. I believe that your idea gas great potential, but that it needs a kick start to get it going.
I think its time to be
bold. I would be more than willing to help get the project off the ground. What do you think?

Re: One of the risks of putting things up at FPC is that people may oppose them. Opposes that make sense are often very useful; re-editing or withdrawing a nom., etc. is something I've done plenty of times. This particular discussion is odd for several reasons. One of the ones I hesitate to post is that a discussion rarely reaches this length without a single comment on the content. Do you think everyone who's posted spent 32 minutes watching the documentary? Durova Charge! 09:21, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
This Wikipedia Valued pictures project sets out to identify and encourage users' efforts in providing valuable images of high encyclopedic value, and to build up a resource for editors from other Wikimedia projects seeking such educational images for use online. The project also provides recognition to contributors who have made an effort to contribute enyclopedic images of difficult subjects which are very hard or nigh on impossible to obtain. The project will run alongside the existing Wikipedia Featured pictures and Picture peer review projects.
Please visit Valued picture candidates to nominate an image, or to help review the nominations. Anyone with an account on Wikipedia is welcome to nominate images, and also to take part in the open review process.
The Wikipedia valued picture project has opened for nominations. Please feel free to nominate an image at WP:VPC today! |
Elucidate ( parlez à moi) Ici pour humor 17:00, 1 November 2008 (UTC) Thanks for everything. Lets hope this works out ;)
The VP seal is no longer in use. I have requested a new design. It was used in the old version of the page I subst'd onto your page and a number of other user talk pages. It is no longer used on any of the VP pages. I think I might extend the time period for the project, though. The tenth of November is rather soon, and I'm not sure we will have got enough input from other users. I think I'll move the opening date to the first of December. I'm also really busy at the moment, so it might be best if the project start-up were postponed. Elucidate ( parlez à moi) Ici pour humor 17:42, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Muhammad (talk) 09:41, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
Acts like drinking alcohol, consuming pork are Haraam (forbidden) for all Muslims of all ages. We are told that after the performance of a successful hajj, all the sins of the believer are wiped away and that he is "like a new born baby". Thus, many people believe, that after hajj, they should not commit sins as they have been given a second chance. However, performance of the forbidden acts before hajj, or delaying hajj itself are grave sins. From what I know, all sects of Islam agree with this, so the old man must have been misinformed or used faulty logic to justify his thinking. Thanks for informing me. Could you please share the name of the book? Regards Muhammad (talk) 07:02, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
