Cytoplasm

Hi! You placed a merge box in the article called Cytoplasm, so I am still waiting if you add in some opinion why.--Juan de Vojníkov 15:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I've added a comment. Sorry it's late - I was away from the computer for a while. - tameeria 19:53, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

MCB Evaluation of HHV ICP0 article

Greetings! Thanks for your evaluation of the article HHV Infected Cell Polypeptide 0 (ICP0). You evaluated the article in April, and I have revised it considerable since. I wonder if you revisit the evaluation? ManVhv 21:21, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for Elbe Tunnel Comments

Your input was well appreciated and key to the advancement of my arguemnt. Ich wünsch dich ein Schön Weihnacht und Schön Neu Jahre. Danke, -MKLPTR, MKLPTR (talk) 10:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I felt the need to jump in because I'm a "Hamburger Deern" myself. The only times I've heard people referring to the tunnel as the "new" one is when they also mentioned the "old" one in the same conversation (which is called "Alter Elbtunnel" much more frequently than "St. Pauli Elbtunnel" btw, although the second version is the "official" name for it). Frohes Fest ebenfalls! - tameeria (talk) 16:28, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Sweet!! Eventually I want to move back to Deutscland FOREVER. My city of Choice would be Kiel, as I have a freind Arbeiten Für radio sender Delta Radio Aus Kiel (in Moin Moin Land). But if I had to live in a big city in Deutschland I would defenitly choose Hamburg. I have been all through the country and Hamburg and Ganze Nord-Deutschland (Niedersachsen, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Schleswig-Holstein and the Hansestädten Hamburg und Bremen) is far better and a great "Off the beaten path" perspective of Deutscland, that counters the OVERLY touristed Bayern (for what reason I do not know). For your pleasure I have provided a list of cities I have been to that shows you how well I can base my oppinions of (in a comparitive sense) Deutsch Städten and where my opinians of Deutschland could possibly come from:

   * Ansbach
   * Aschaffenburg
   * Bad Durkheim
   * Bad Hersfeld
   * Bamberg
   * Berchtesgaden
   * Berlin
   * Bonn
   * Boppard
   * Bremen
   * Bremerhaven
   * Köln
   * Dortmund
   * Dresden
   * Düsseldorf
   * Eckernförde
   * Eisenach 
   * Erfurt
   * Flensburg
   * Frankfurt
   * Füssen
   * Gießen
   * Göttingen
   * Hamburg
   * Hannover
   * Heidelberg
   * Idar-Oberstein
   * Kaiserslautern
   * Karlsruhe
   * Kassel
   * Kiel
   * Koblenz
   * Konstanz
   * Landstuhl
   * Leipzig
   * Mainz
   * Mannheim
   * München
   * Nürnberg
   * Pirmasens
   * Rostock
   * Saarbrücken
   * Sinsheim
   * Stuttgart
   * Suhl
   * Trier
   * Ulm
   * Wiesbaden
   * Wilhelmshaven
   * Würzburg
   * Zweibrücken

Hopfully this makes me at least more educated than some other Americans on the Deutsch land and people. Ich Hoffe du hast Urlab in Ganzen USA, Gleich ich hast Urlab in Ganze Deutschland. Aber ich in Deutschland Urlab nur Bei Auto. WAS? Du Fragt! Für voll Autobahn Spaß!! ;) Tschüß, Mike
MKLPTR (talk) 05:26, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

LOL - I have a feeling many Americans going to Germany are "Autobahntouristen" and end up going to Bavaria. I'm guessing it has to do with southern Germany having been the "US Zone" after WWII, so many people have a grandfather or father who was stationed there while serving in the army. Northern Germany was the "British Zone" and I've found that most Brits don't feel like visiting Germany very much. I guess it's too close and too similar. - tameeria (talk) 18:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

DYK

On 13 January, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article carnivorous alga, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Image:DarwinFig139.png

Hello, I noticed you added this pic to the page on Darwin's book, but it seems to come from Darwin Online, with which we were recently engaged in a copyright issue. See Commons:Commons:Deletion requests/Images from Darwin Online. Also, please try to upload free (e.g. PD) images there, not at Wikipedia. Thanks. Richard001 (talk) 21:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the alert. I was going to upload additional pictures, but I guess I'll hold off on that then. It would be odd for these images to be copyrighted though because 1) Darwin has been dead for 125 years, 2) they were originally published back in 1880, and 3) to the best of my knowledge faithful reproductions such as a scan from a book are not copyrightable. Maybe UK copyright on this is different from US copyright though and I am by no means an expert on copyright law. Through our library I could check out the 1898 version of the book published by D. Appleton, New York and maybe scan myself from there. But that strikes me as a rather ridiculous exercise in wasting my time on something that shouldn't be an issue in my opinion. - tameeria (talk) 22:19, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Yep, such is the way of things. Apparently the UK allows scans to be copyrighted in some (not very clear cut) cases. They say they've done a bit of touch-up work on the scans, so that constitutes 'labour', which is considered as well as 'creative' aspects in the UK, so I believe. I don't think that is considered in other countries though. It looks like the safest path is just to scan everything ourselves, which is tiresome, but at least we can make it PD. Would be nice if we had a Charles Darwin WikiProject here; collaborating on getting scans up from his major works would be one possible goal for such a project.

I suppose I should nominate it for deletion then, along with any others from Darwin Online that are on en.wiki. Are there any others? I can't find any by searching the image namespace, but then I can't find yours either so I'm not sure the search is too reliable. Richard001 (talk) 01:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I have only uploaded this one image so far. I'll inquire with the library tomorrow to see about checking out the book (1898 US edition) to replace it with a scan of my own. It just seems totally silly. If "touch-ups" confer eligibility to claim copyright, can I do so, too? After all, I've 1) cropped the image, 2) converted it from color to black&white, 3) changed the contrast, 4) used the eraser to get rid of some lettering showing through from the back side of the page, and 5) converted it to a different file format. I wouldn't dare to claim copyright for such "work" and I hadn't done it if I wasn't convinced it was public domain to start with. - tameeria (talk) 01:35, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I think you would have to come for the UK to do that, but if you did maybe. However, I think because it is only on en.wiki and not Commons, and only says 'PD in the US', I think it is safe. Of course, it would be ideal to have fully PD scans and at Commons. Richard001 (talk) 07:07, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Claiming copyright on scans of public domain works strikes me as ridiculous enough that I went ahead and put a hold on the book. The library has to get it from another university close by but if everything works out as planned I should be able to get it tomorrow afternoon. I was just looking for a PD illustration for the article on nyctinasty but if I do get my hands on the book, I can scan more than just one figure of course. I have to see what the book's condition is and how the scanning goes, but what else might we want/need from it? In the meantime, the whole book including all figures is also available on Google Books if images taken from Darwin Online need to be replaced, although the Google scans are lower resolution/quality. I'm hoping to do some higher resolution scans of the images we might want. - tameeria (talk) 17:37, 7 February 2008 (UTC) - Addendum: Project Gutenberg seems to fully agree that scanning and touch-ups do not confer a new copyright, but again their evaluation is based on US copyright law. - tameeria (talk) 17:59, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Carnivorous alga

It has come to my attention that you have reinstated Carnivorous alga despite the consensus not to move Predatory dinoflagellate back to Carnivorous alga. I believe your purpose was to circumvent the page-move decision, which warrants review of Wikipedia:Content forking. Recreating the old page is equivalent to moving it back, just with both moved pages intact. --♦♦♦Vlmastra♦♦♦ (talk) 21:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I split out the media use of the term, which actually was your suggestion so I assumed there was consensus to do this. Why the heck did you suggest the split in the first place if this wasn't your intention? What was your intent behind it? If you were baiting me into doing it so you can cry "content fork" - quite frankly I don't appreciate it at all. And I fail to see how these two articles could be content forks as they are now quite different from each other. - tameeria (talk) 18:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
