User talk:Akumiszcza

There is no fixed rule, but users with a low edit counts are usually not included in votes. If you would be at wikipedia more often, you would know about this (and your vote would have been counted). Similar applies to other votes. Anonyous users definitely cannot vote, too. -- Chris 73 Talk 11:13, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

Hi and welcome - nice bird images you've added. jimfbleak 17:31, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Your userpage does not exist, so...

Hi Akumiszcza, I've noticed that you currently don't have a userpage. This makes your name appear as a redlink when signing talk pages, or when seen in Special:Recentchanges or the edit history of a page. One simple solution, if you don't want to create a userpage, is to edit your userpage and insert the following:

#REDIRECT [[User talk:Akumiszcza]]

This will make your userpage a redirect to your talk page. If you ever want to create a user page, follow this link:

Spelling

I notice you made some changes to Palenque -- thanks for the spelling corrections, but I wonder if the corrections were done mechanically? Either way, your changes introduced a mistake. The plural of Relief (in the sence of a sculpture) is indeed "reliefs", not "relieves" as you changed it to. Hope this helps, Cheers, -- Infrogmation 12:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Tree Sparrow

Please do not Americanise my spelling, particularly in an article about a European bird species. jimfbleak 14:02, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

no problem, many spell checkers use US spelling, jimfbleak 19:23, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Image Gallery at Jicin

Hi, I can see you changed the images in Jičín article into Wikipedia's gallery tag. I didn't want to use this tag as I find it unsatisfactory, as you can't set the size of thumbnails. I find the default size to be too small, you don't see much of the images and thus have to click on every one to see them. I know that using the float left thumbnails isn't perfect, but the size I used (256px) is big enough to see what the images depict without clicking on them. So I'd prefer returning to the previous state (not perfect) and wait until you can set thumbnial size in the gallery tag. Caroig 11:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've changed back to previous version. I agree with you that the photos are too small, but there are also some problems with current solution: the photos take often too much place (on 1024x768 its 3 rows of quite big photos, around 1/3 of the whole article height) and the placing depends much on the resolution of the screen. Wouldn't it be better to attach only 1 - 3 photos here and make a link to the gallery in wiki commons? Or to place some of the photos in the text, not below? --Akumiszcza 13:33, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As I wrote previously, I don't see this solution ideal either. I use resolution 1280x1024, and in this layout I get just three pictures in a row as well, and it doesn't look that nice. In the previous version, which was my work (and my pictures), there was that column of the images on the right side, but it only looks nice if the text is long enough (Moravian-Silesian Region), and then you can even try to align the pictures with the corresponding text. When time allows, I should write more to the article on Jicin, and then I would use the right column probably. I tried this bottom image layout on the article on Plasy and as the text there is rather short (I'll try to write more too) you just get one page of information with no need of scrolling (at 1280x1024). BTW, your snap of Jicin is wonderfull. --Caroig 15:58, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Page moving

Please see Help:Renaming (moving) a page. Pages should be moved with the move button not with a cut and past. Philip Baird Shearer 28 June 2005 08:51 (UTC)

As to Gdańsk - ask Piotrus, I'm sure he'll be happy to help. Halibutt June 28, 2005 11:53 (UTC)

Redirects

Hi. Please check your recent creation of redirects. I don't think Balstogė or Białystok are commonly used. To delete them, replace the redirect with {{del}}, add a comment (i.e. typo in article name) and someone will delete it. Thanks -- Chris 73 Talk June 28, 2005 11:40 (UTC)

I did not create those redirects, just edited them. But Ok, I'll try to make them deleted. --Akumiszcza 28 June 2005 11:42 (UTC)

Oh, sorry, my mistake. Thanks. -- Chris 73 Talk June 28, 2005 12:07 (UTC)

Gdansk->Gdańsk

To preserve history of edits, it's better to move the page instead of copy the paste. However, if there alraedy is an article with old name (for example, a redirect) it must be deleted, beacuse move function works only if there is no page with the target name. As I am an admin, I will be happy to move stuff, just list exactly what should be moved to where, and make sure there are no objections at talk. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 28 June 2005 19:39 (UTC)

Yes I know all that now. The problem with Gdańsk and Gdansk seems to be more complicated now, though. There is a discussion (illogical one, IMHO) going on whether to change its name or not. --Akumiszcza 28 June 2005 19:45 (UTC)

Italian Sparrow

Thank you for uploading your photo of sparrow from Crete! In regard to the article, I've fixed the linking of Crete, but I don't see anything contradictory. It just says that the birds there look like Italian Sparrows, and that the Handbook of the Birds of the World recognises them as such—which some others do, while most sources are more careful. (I'll add more detail later, but I'd like to do so when it can be very well researched.) —innotata 21:23, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Oberg, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Phobos and Soyuz. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

DYK for James Oberg

On 23 September 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article James Oberg, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that according to James Oberg, most UFO sightings can be explained by super-high plumes, space dandruff or twilight shadowing? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/James Oberg. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, James Oberg), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

File:Psychology Gone Wrong. The Dark Sides of Science and Therapy.jpg

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. See User:RonBot for info on how to not get these messages.

Nomination of Rename method for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Rename method is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rename method until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 12:34, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

ReferenceExpander

Just a friendly heads-up in case you weren't already aware, since it's installed on your common.js: Careless use of ReferenceExpander has caused serious problems. It's currently at MFD, and a large cleanup project is underway to repair the citations damaged by the script. I and several other users have !voted that the script be deleted or disabled, and I wouldn't recommend using it at all unless you thoroughly check every reference it modifies against the previous revision. If you're interested in a more detailed explanation of the script's issues, Folly Mox has provided an excellent summary at the MFD. — SamX [talk · contribs] 05:05, 1 June 2023 (UTC)
