Hey there Chris. Looks like you've noticed. I'll be hanging around Commons, so you can bring up any further requests there. I'm trying to wrap up things right now, so I may respond to further queries, requests, or notices till then. I will no longer be able to work with fair use images, unless you are willing to receive them by email. I will also bring along my IRC channel, so you can log on it and see if I'm online. Good luck with what you do here and see you at Commons! --ZooFari 23:13, 1 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've amended the file as you suggested, and in case you feel you have to step warily, no you don't :). I don't know the subject matter and you've only given a vague description of what you need so I have no problem incorporating changes. As an FYI, my usual method in the real world is to give a client, initially, my understanding of what they want, the process moves on from there with the end result rarely looking like my initial attempt. So I'm all for hearing your views on what it is you want. If I can do it I will, if I can't I'll tell you and if I disagree I'll tell you. What you should know is that, considering I'm a designer, I can't draw worth s**t! So usually I make do with cannibalising more creative artist's work and adding my basic art to make a composite. Anway, I've made the changes and made an alternative. Over to you :) --Fred the Oyster (talk) 11:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just wondering if you'd like to check back on progress. I've done both, and I was hoping for some feedback.

Btw, no hard feelings about that silliness from a few weeks ago. I understand I tend to get defensive and stubborn about my opinions; but then again who doesn't? :P Either way, cheers.

p.s. I totally found out about the graphics lab after lurking your talk page, and I must say that I'm glad I did. -Cam^T|C 14:22, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Are prefectures larger in cities in just scale, or in government/social activities? Or both? -Cam^T|C 04:07, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Prefectures can be thought of like US states, Canadian provinces or UK counties. Some are really large in area but underpopulated (Hokkaido, Shimane... like Montana or Saskatchewan, some are really small but densely populated (Kagawa, where I live, is the smallest prefecture but has a million people). Osaka, which is small but huge at once, serves its own city/prefecture functions. How do you mean scale? --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 12:27, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I mean in terms of general landscape. Would a prefecture on average be larger than, say, New York City, or Jacksonville? -Cam^T|C 18:40, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Also, I get a feeling you may enjoy this game. :P

Chris, take a look now. I think I've fixed the issue with the purpose statement in the fair use rationale. Something changed in the software and the older form of the "log fur" tag is now not showing the 'purpose' statement. I replaced both the tags with one using what must be a newer design. If you think it needs two tags, you might use the new "log fur" tag I used as a guide and add another. I had three notices from Melesse on images I had uploaded a while ago and I found that replacing the tags fixed the "purposes" statement issue.Geoff ^{Who, me?} 12:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You've added a {{rewrite}} to Jewish haiku. Would you please add a note to the article's talk page outlining briefly your concerns, so that interested editors may address them. Thanks --Yumegusa (talk) 16:00, 14 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I think DASHbot removes those images because of this bit. I know you like to keep your talk page the way you like to have it, but still if DASHbot removes something it would be better if you could drop a note on a talk page before undoing it, to explain why you plan to do so. Cheers, SGGH ^ping! 15:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, I was promoted by the ANI threat raised about this, for your perusal. SGGH ^ping! 16:00, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I read it, I understood it though it is a policy I disagree with, I got it, there was nothing to respond to. I don't have to answer or justify every whine that gets posted on my page, nor do I have to answer when a user gets butthurt and posts an ANI about me for a simple removal on my own talkpage. Anyone who comes here sees that at the top. Some users I just get a vibe about, and my hunches usually prove correct. I don't have the time, I'm busy doing other things, say for instance, writing articles, cleaning up after vandalism, working for a living, having a real life...

That being said, I've worked with you many times before, I like and respect you, so I do owe you a note explaining why I don't owe a note elsewhere. Threat is exactly right-ANI is an awful big stick to wave at such a small gnat, and that user should be embarrassed that their ego is so easily bruised. Ridiculous. Thanks for the heads-up and the concern. --Chris (クリス • フィッチュ) (talk) 16:11, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

こんいちわ！I see you are a strong vandal fighter, so I am sure this was just a click on the wrong version, as you were probably trying to restore your last version. It's been reverted already. Keep up the good work (you are almost at WP:100K)!  7  03:20, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just to let you know that I would like to remove Image:South_African_Scout_Association_2009.png which you uploaded for inclusion on the South African Scout Association page. I hope I can provide some context that will convince you to remove it. I was at one point closely involved in the discussions around the emblem (email me if you would like me to give specific details of my role - I prefer not to post them here). This logo was created by a website called ScoutWeb South Africa, which was the main Scouting website in South Africa at the time, but was initially not official, and had its own branding. Eventually the site became official and was rebranded with the official South African Scout Association logo. Since it was never the official (or even unofficial) national logo of the South African Scout Association, its relevance is questionable, and it also fails the fair use criteria for a Scout Association logo, which says "The image is placed in the infobox at the top of the article discussing South African Scout Association, a subject of public interest. The significance of the logo is to help the reader identify the organization, assure the readers that they have reached the right article containing critical commentary about the organization, and illustrate the organization's intended branding message in a way that words alone could not convey." None of that is accurate. I hope that this will be enough to persuade you? Zaian (talk) 20:07, 13 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for your note. —Mono·nomic 23:38, 16 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris. Thanks for helping to fight vandalism here at Wikipedia. However, I notice that several of the recent reports you have made at WP:AIV have been declined. Please be sure that there is recent activity from the IP and that they have been warned before you report them. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:38, 19 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kintetsu. I noticed your edit on Sexy Battle Girls‎ (Surprise! That's on my watchlist!) I'm not so sure that "We are the Pink School" is not notable. I've come across the name quite a bit in my readings, but I haven't really looked into it to see what exactly it is. I think Jasper Sharp may have something to say about it in his book on Pink film. I'll check it, and see if I can establish a few notices of the event by reliable secondary sources. If so, hope you don't mind if I put it back in. (I doubt I'll be starting an article on it soon, but I suspect it may have "notability" enough to support one.) Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 16:48, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem-- I'll check your concerns anyway. At least we'll get a citation explaining what it is... The caps thing-- that's a Japanese/English deal. I'll fix them when I restore it. Cheers! Dekkappai (talk) 17:15, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, there's another problem with it: Even without looking through the Sharp book I find enough, I think, to source "We Are the Pink School"'s notability. Problem is, I can't find a reliable mention of this film being shown at the event... The editor who put it in originally is Japanese and works for the US company which released the film on DVD here, so I don't doubt it is true. But I can't even see it mentioned on the DVD cover, so I guess we'll just leave it out for now. Even without the showing at the event, the film's "notability" will be easy enough to prove if it ever gets challenged... How has Takamatsu been treating you? Dekkappai (talk) 19:59, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ah... Seoul, Pusan, Kyeongju, Buyeo, Kongju... ;-) I lived in Korea, but visited Japan when I could-- Tokyo, Fukuoka... Would love to live there some day, but that's out of the question at least until our son is grown. My wife's a very Japan-friendly Korean, so she's all for living there some day too. Maybe... Very glad to hear you're having a good experience there-- I remember recommending Gaijin Pot (or whatever it's called) to you when you were trying to get there. Regards. Dekkappai (talk) 00:32, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Right. Working at the eikaiwa (hagwon in Korea) is always risky, but it's a way to live in the counry. And I had a few bad experience with individual Koreans there, but I wouldn't judge my opinion of the whole country based on those-- I'd have to forget all the extreme kindness and generosity I encountered there too to do that... I find "Japan-friendly Korean" usually means a Korean who has actually met a Japanese person or two, as opposed to having just learned about them from the movies, history books, and assorted propaganda ;) College-aged idealists were the worst Japan-haters, the older people I met, who actually lived under the occupation had a more realistic "some good/some bad" attitude, and were always happy to practice Japanese with a foreigner... My wife's family had contact with Japan even when the relations were officially "closed". Dekkappai (talk) 02:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be fair-minded and I hope I don't have a warped sense of history. But as far as I can see, the ultra-left launched a major bombing campaign in Argentina, that would not go unnoticed in today's media.

Just kidding :-) Hey, I was wondering about the content from Aeon (eikaiwa) and GEOS (eikaiwa) that is duplicated across the Kiyoshi Aki and Tsuneo Kusunoki articles -- specifically, the paragraphs describing the history of AMVIC and the split into two companies. Do you think it would be more consistent to keep the text in the school articles, and then in the personal articles, replace it with one of those "See xxx" links? It would make it easier to keep it consistent when things change. Simon-in-sagamihara (talk) 01:28, 25 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for deleting a BLP vio here. If you wonder why your edits have disappeared, it's because I deleted the page and restored it without that whole sequence of edits, so that the personal information is no longer visible even in the history. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 13:31, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Chris, I've noticed a couple of your AIV reports on IP vandals where the IP has had no warnings in a long time, and also that you report them as IP only accounts. IP addresses can't be vandal-only accounts by definition, and don't get blocked as such, and the warnings have to be recent (the one you reported above was last warned April 6). Just for your into. Regards, SGGH ^ping! 14:43, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good afternoon. I closed the AFD for this redirect on a procedural basis, since redirects are usually best discussed at Redirects for Discussion.

Hi,
I've only blocked the latest of the block-evading IPs, it's unlikely that he will return to any of his prior IPs. I would recommend that you request semi protection of the related articles if he returns.
