Trigonometric identity[edit]

Hello. Your edit to this article prompts this tip: conventionally one capitalizes the first letter of a section heading in Wikipedia, but later letters in the section heading are not capitalized merely because they're in a section heading, but are capitalized only if there's some other reason to do so. Thus "Exponential forms" with a lower-case "f" is the standard. Michael Hardy 22:16, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Cedric Berthelin[edit]

Thank you for your clarification in this area.. I'm slowly finding Soccerbase harder and harder to trust when it comes to matters like this. Keeping teams up-to-date is becoming a more and more difficult task with so much conflicting information. I used to be able to keep up with these things rather well, but find myself slipping as of late. Bobo192|Edits

Using Inkscape[edit]

Well for that particular diagram I think it wasn't too tough, since Inkscape provides a star tool, which I think can also produce regular polygons. For diagrams such as this I'd use a vector graphics editor myself (rather than a bitmap graphics editor like the Gimp), and I like Inkscape. Illustrator is meant to be good, although I've never used it much. Good luck! L upin 20:36, 5 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I know nothing about Inkscape; I have some very powerful tools on my desktop which I understand well and use daily. If you want some specific help creating graphics of any kind, please contact me. — Xiong 熊 talk * 15:17, 2005 August 7 (UTC)

User Page[edit]

Suggest you consider adding to your user page. You may not yet be sure what you want to put there; check out other members' user pages for ideas. You might start with a photo of yourself, with or without your favorite animal or plant.

Members without user pages appear, in some sense, as if they did not exist. — Xiong 熊 talk * 15:20, 2005 August 7 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:MillwallFC.gif[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:MillwallFC.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. -- Carnildo 15:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Emb crystal palace.gif)[edit]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Emb crystal palace.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that your image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If your image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why your image was deleted. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 13:47, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Palace1970sbadge.jpg[edit]

Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:04, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alert[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

UK Covid-19 Registration stats[edit]

Greg, I believe you keep the weekly ONS figures up to date on the UK Covid page. But you haven't included the figures for Scotland and Northern Ireland (NRS and PHA). I've been accumulating those figures over the past weeks and could update that columns but didn't want to do it without checking with you. Alternatively if you email me I could send you a spreadsheet with all the values and the links. Chris55 (talk) 17:10, 8 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris55:, I noticed the most recent set of ONS deaths are out here [1] on the tab 'Covid-19 - E&W comparisons' column E. Do you want to add them to the data that you have and update the table? Greg321 (talk) 20:35, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, well done Greg! I looked this morning and couldn't find the complete spreadsheet at all. (I note this page says "Corrections".) I've now got all the data: the NI figures are getting harder to track down but I've finally found the PDF on the NISRA site, so I can do it. The NRS figures are published on Wednesday but last week's covered up to 3 May. Chris55 (talk) 21:23, 12 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris55: Brilliant. I am planning to update the whole of the cases side of the table as this has been lost since the government changed how it presented the data. So hopefully we can get the table looking sensible again. Greg321 (talk) 10:19, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it was harder than I thought since ONS had found a few new very early cases so that all the cumulative totals were wrong; and more. But I do think that table is over-complicated. Wouldn't the English regions data be better moved over to the England Covid pages (it's a nighmare on a mobile)? Perhaps I should raise this on the template page talk. Chris55 (talk) 10:47, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chris55: Yes, lets put it on there, it is a mess at the moment. I think @Jopal22: and @TedEdwards: will have opinions on it too. Greg321 (talk) 13:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hope you don't mind, but I moved the conversation to the UK COVID talk page and replied there 18:16, 13 May 2020 (UTC)
