Image Tagging Image:Mario.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Mario.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{
If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by going to "Your contributions" from your user page and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks so much. --Sherool (talk) 21:42, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Penultimate?
On the Mario Kart page, I noticed that you changed "next to last" back to "penultimate." I seriously doubt that a lot of people would know what penultimate means; I myself had to look it up to find out what it meant. I think it would just be a lot easier to say "next to last" instead of the fancier term. What do you think? Hbdragon88 20:39, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
To me, "next to last" sounds a bit long (as in a lot of words), or perhaps un-educated. Maybe it's different where you come from, but where I come from, while a six year old wouldn't know it, it isn't too much of a fancy term. Sorry this was so late in coming.

]F1 track maps
Hi The-. Thanks for fixing all those track maps in the F1 race reports - it's been on my "to do" list for a long time, but I just never got around to doing it. Thanks again. 02:16, 9 December 2009 (UTC)
1982 Austrian Grand Prix
Hi The-. I just wanted to say thanks/congratulations for the great job you did updating 1982 Austrian Grand Prix. Any chance you feel like doing the same for the other 600-or-so F1 race articles which don't have race reports and qualifying tables? :-) But seriously, keep up the good work.

Template:2013–14 Football League One table
Hi. I just wanted to let you know that in your edits at Template:2013–14 Football League One table you made a few mistakes. First of all you forgot to update the date at the bottom of the table as of when the matches was played. Secondly you did not move the entire {{fb cl team .... weight:bold;}}}}
row so the bolding got wrong on the team pages, since for example Crewe got the shortening for Sheffield United (SFU). I corrected it here. On the upside you did very good not moving the switches and you did update the helper template, which many forgets so keep up the good work. QED237 (talk) 14:19, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Places of birth and death in infoboxes
Hi The-, I noticed you have been making edits of the type here [1] and here, replacing country names with links to articles about specific earlier constitutional forms of the countries involved ("Germany" → "Nazi Germany" and "Greece" → "Kingdom of Greece" respectively). Can I ask you to please not make such edits? The purpose of these infobox fields is to answer the question "where?", not the question "under what political system?". We should give the reader the article that most easily identifies the place, and that is the top-level main article about the country, not a sub-article about a specific political phase of its history. Giving links to earlier historic states sometimes makes sense when countries have changed completely, but that is not the case here: "Greece" in 1854 was already "Greece" just as much as it is today, and "Germany" in 1945 was already the same "Germany" it is today. These are the same countries, merely under different political systems. Fut.Perf. ☼ 09:01, 30 October 2016 (UTC)

Historical election maps
Hello! I'm impressed with your work on council election result articles—I have Plymouth council elections on my watchlist and you've really done a lot to improve them. I was wondering where you got hold of shapefiles for historical ward boundaries? I've looked for them myself in the past but never had any luck. Ralbegen (talk) 19:11, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thanks, it's good to know my work is noticed and appreciated. Most of the old ward maps come from the Local Government Boundary Commision for England website. If you look through the archived reviews of ward boundaries that took place in the late 1990s/early 2000s they will show a map of the previously existing ward boundaries as well as the proposed new boundaries. Sometimes it will all be in the same document, and sometimes the old boundaries will be shown in a separate map. For the 2001 Plymouth review, it's the latter. Here is the Plymouth page and here is the map showing the pre-existing boundaries. Here is an example of where they are shown all in one.
- It is also possible to find some old ward maps on archived versions of council websites, for example here is a map of the same ward boundaries on an archived version of the Plymouth Council website. I used the other map though as it is more accurate. Full maps of the old county council boundaries are unfortunately not available on the LGBCE website, but they can sometimes be found on archived versions of the County Council website.
