Cool. Or, maybe I should say, Hot! Now all it needs is for the black outline on the bulb (the glass part) to be replaced by yellow, the pic's background made "transparent", and then saved in PNG format. Then it'll be a bonafide icon. --Go for it! 18:11, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your new one is the best so far. The only thing I can think of to make it more realistic, not that a smiling light bulb is in any way based in reality, is to recolor the screw-in portion of the base to silver or gray (with black lines where the grooves are). Not the bottom cap though, those are usually black. Very good job. --Go for it! 10:49, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to being a cool emoticon for email, Larry the Lightbulb (or you could name him, if you like) is also a cool icon.

And, in answer to your question...

Tip of the day... Please read department instructions Some pages are active departments with their own set of instructions. It may be tempting to skip reading them and go straight to making edits or leaving messages. But this just clutters those pages and creates unnecessary steps for the volunteers of those departments. This happens a lot at the Reference Desk , because they didn't read the instructions at the top of the page. If you visit those pages, please take the time and read the instructions before making use of those helpful departments.

Can you provide a citation for "the designers claim that a misuser of the cipher will be cursed"? That's the oddball sort of trivia that ought to be backed up to prevent its removal as casual vandalism. Thanks! — Lomn Talk 15:51, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

Hello, i've noticed you welcome new users that haven't edited anything, perhaps you want to check this out? Cheers, Jesushaces

== well, ==

And I also think that a welcome message is nice, just wanted to point that section to you, since, unfortunately, many users don't edit anything, they just create accounts... On the other hand, perhaps a welcome message will be the thing they need to start editing ;) Anyhow, don't think I'm stalking you or anything, it's just that i'm using cryptoderk's VF and you showed up quite a lot, and since you didn't provide edit summs I decided to drop you a note. See you around, Jesushaces

But the stuff that was in the article before I came was even more inept! How does it make sense to restore it? Why not just So-Fix-It as you see it instead of reverting? And why did you take out the stub sort and other non-example-related changes? -

The Empty Child notes

Hello, just thought I had better explain why I removed the note (my edit summary may not have been terribly clear). I believe that the note I removed is of little merit as the two phones mentioned are different. As best as I can tell, and I admit I am far from an expert on Doctor Who trivia, the phone he used in World War III is a regular workable phone, whereas the one used in The Empty Child is not - it is implied to be part of the TARDIS's cloaking device. My problem with the note is that it appears to suggest to the layman that there is some form of continuity error, which I do not believe is the case. If my understanding of the matter is correct, the fact that he is surprised to hear a non-functioning phone ring, and is happy to use a functioning phone, makes sense. I also felt that the previous note dealt with the situation is sufficient detail.

I hope this clears up why I made the change, I'll leave it up to you to decide whether the note should be kept or not. Yours, Rje 15:28, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The basic story is that I traced a photograph of Jimbo (this one) in Adobe Illustrator, but you could also do the same thing in Inkscape if one wanted to (Inkscape is free -- I didn't have it at the time I made that one). It's a lot easier than it looks -- conceptually it just means you have to break an image into its bare minimum of conceptual elements, and then tracing them by hand (in a very abstract style) over the original. There are some tutorials floating around the web but I can't seem to find any great ones at just this moment. If you google "raster to vector illustrator tutorial" you'll get some results, though many of them are for auto-trace tools (which produce a different effect -- much more details, less abstract, and frankly not as good looking). I could also send you the original file (in whatever format will work for you) if you want to take a look at it and the different elements that went into it. --Fastfission 14:13, 20 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Ood.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{

Could you transcribe the section of DWM discussing the working titles? They kind of interest me. Thanks very much indeed.--Keycard ^(talk) 16:42, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. It's in the "TV Preview" section:

"This episode's original title was Chloe Webber Destroys the Earth!" laughs Matthew Graham, Fear Her scribe and co-creator/lead writer of BBC One's popular Life on Mars. "Russell [T Davies, Doctor Who's executive producer] thought it was the funniest thing he'd ever heard! He e-mails like he talks, so every now and then I'd get a message saying, 'Chloe Webber Destroys the Earth. Marvellous! Hooray! Bless you!' "

Perhaps because it wouldn't fit across TV screens, Chloe Webber Destroys the Earth didn't last. "Suddenly, out of the blue, Russell said it was a bit of a mouthful," says Matthew. "So then it became You're a Bad Girl, Chloe Webber — but of course that was still too long! I'd keep suggesting things and he'd say, 'No, that's not a Doctor Who title'. When I suggested Fear Her, he said he liked it, but it still wasn't quite a Doctor Who title. He said, 'Let's leave it, and see whether we forget about it or it still bugs us.' Because we then forgot about it, we decided it must work!"

Hope that sates your curiosity. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:39, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. On Image:Brescia astro clock.jpg, you said, "I took this photograph myself, and now choose to release it in to the "public-domain"." Because images need to have copyright tags in order to be properly categorized, I have added the {{PD-self}} tag based on your statement. Please check this image page and confirm that this tag correctly describes your wishes. If it does not, please select a different tag from Category:Image copyright tags. Thank you.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in
