User talk:KFP/Archive

Hi KFP/Archive, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for your contributions to the coolest online encyclopedia I know of =). I sure hope you stick around; we're always in need of more people to create new articles and improve the ones we already have. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines. First, write from a neutral point of view, second, be bold in editing pages, and third, use wikiquette. Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me at my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing ~~~~.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing! --Spangineer (háblame) 18:19, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)

Hello! Feel free to come to CAp UFRJ and help us get the page editing nice and beautiful![]s (by 200.179.240.10)

A minor edit is one which fixes minor things like spelling and grammar. Adding an item to a list is not a minor edit. Reub2000 17:07, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Thanks! I reviewed Wikipedia:Minor edit and it seems that I've been marking my edits as minor a bit too often. KFP 17:19, 19 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Could you please revisit Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Finnish Socialist Workers' Republic? The article has been rewritten and I don't want it deleted unnecessarily. AndyL 4 July 2005 05:33 (UTC)

You marked Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal as clsoed for voting, but you did not make a coresponding change on any of the many subpages where the voting is/was actually taking place. Those pages should probably be similarly marked. Are you resultign thsio proposal? DES 16:28, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

• I have not been actively involved with this proposal, I just happened to notice that the deadline had passed and updated the page accordingly. However, as I have nothing else to do at the moment, I think I'll tag the other pages as well. --KFP 16:39, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

Please present some kind of source for the updated population of Helsinki that you claim.

As Most sources i can google up says balues in the 970 - 980 thousand region and as helsnki's population movement is not at a big growth i am a bit sceptical about the figure.

A few months back there was someone who tried to frantically over and over up the numbers of inhabitants in the cities of Finland on wikipedia, so a source would be great to have.

Gillis 13:03, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I just decided to check the claim of 975,000 and added the population of Helsinki to those of Espoo, Vantaa and Kauniainen (I retrieved population stats from the cities' official websites at [1], [2], [3] and [4]). The sum was 986,531. I meant to present the sources but forgot... --KFP 08:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Guess I am still feeling my way around Wiki. Did you have some suggestions for editing this article?Thanks,Bmcclure

Ok, I have now made some edits that hopefully improve the article (see diff). --KFP 10:48, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Your Featured picture candidate has been promoted Your nomination for featured picture status, Image:Prokudin-Gorskii-19.jpg, gained a consensus of support, and has been promoted. If you would like to nominate another image, please do so at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates.

Thanks for the great nom! howcheng {chat} 06:12, 16 September 2006 (UTC)

This is to let you know the Featured Picture you uploaded and/or nominated Image:Prokudin-Gorskii-19.jpg is scheduled to be Picture of the day on November 16, 2006, when it will be featured on the Main Page. Congratulations!

Thanks for moving my picture from Greater Helsinki to Wikipedia:Damn it, Jim, I'm a Bad Joke, not Other Deleted Nonsense. The picture really is from the municipality border, although I admit it isn't apparent from the picture. JIP | Talk 07:17, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Even if the copyright owner granted permission for it to be used exclusively on wikipedia on actual wikipedia discussion pages? Doesn't that cut the muster, I mean its not copyvio. A mcmurray 01:47, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• Wikipedia permits fair use images in articles but featured picture candidates must be in the public domain or have a free license. --KFP (talk | contribs) 02:17, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

That's pretty ridiculous. The copyright owner gave permission to use it on wikipedia, just because everyone can't have it shouldn't exclude it. I am really beginning to not like Wikipedia at all. A mcmurray 02:19, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• Well, as Wikipedia is a free content project, we cannot accept images, text or other media that is licensed as "Wikipedia-only" (because such content is not free). --KFP (talk | contribs) 02:48, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I removed the nomination (though I don't believe the reasoning you provided is true--and this isn't a personal reflection upon you) because the photo is copyrighted and its copyright owner as well as myself don't really believe that Wikipedia should be able to demand that it be released under free license. Thanks for your input and such.A mcmurray 18:05, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• I understand that it may seem unreasonable that Wikipedia requires that images must have a license that allows creation of derivative work, commercial use and reuse by third parties. However, licenses that restrict such usage are incompatible with Wikipedia's copyright policy. --KFP (talk | contribs) 11:18, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

That's fine. Can't fight the power, at least in this case, I'll just find another image to nominate, btw are Wikimedia Commons images eligible, I suppose they must appear in a Wikipedia article huh? A mcmurray 18:25, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

• Yes, all Commons images should either be in the public domain or have a sufficiently free license (for example the GNU Free Documentation License or Creative Commons Attribution ShareAlike license). A good help page for evaluating potential featured picture candidates is at WP:WIAFP. --KFP (talk | contribs) 21:56, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

Aha, I'm with you now, KFP - sorry about that! I tend to immediately not delete commons images if people haven't updated the incoming links. I will have to check the tag more thoroughly. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. Proto::type 15:18, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Im somewhat puzzled as to why this image: [[5]] was not promoted, after all a marginal consensus of support was achieved. There were threee "support" and two "object" tags and one "comment, yet the article was not promoted even though the support tags represented public opinion. Could you please explain to me why it was not promoted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahadland1234 (talk • contribs).

• Hi! Featured picture promotion usually requires a two-thirds supermajority and four or more supporting votes. In this case, the image had only three supporting votes and a simple majority after twelve days of discussion. You may renominate the image at WP:FPC if you feel that the candidate received too little attention. --KFP (talk | contribs) 16:24, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Can i be cheeky and ask you to do that for me, becuase im too stupid. I just think its a really good picture and deserves to be featured. Could i by any chance get your views on whether it should be Featured, maybe you can help me get it on the front page :-P Ahadland 22:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes, I can do the renomination for you. I'm not sure if the image will pass as it is not as sharp or detailed as many other featured picture candidates. However, consensus may find this lack of image quality acceptable because the subject is unique and getting a better photo may be very difficult. --KFP (talk | contribs) 00:58, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
    • Thank you very much for helping with the re-nomination —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ahadland1234 (talk • contribs).
• Okay, here it is. --KFP (talk | contribs) 13:33, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Is the consensus good enough to make the picture featured yet? Ahadland 21:57, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Nope, the nom has to be listed for at least seven days. --KFP (talk | contribs) 22:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

This article is relevant to support the lore of Microsoft and events in the company's history with its employees. It is considered a milestone in employee morale, and is not a term invented by a small group. It is widely know amongst 70,000 employees. Please consider removing the proposal for deletion. If necessary I will create a Lisa Brummel page and include this item. Let me know what you think. Thanks. Marktalkington 12:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that vandalism. You got to it before I could fix it, but not before I tagged a page with it. I have to admit, though, that it seems like a good idea...In any case, should we at least soft-protect those templates? --Mdwyer 19:57, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

• Yes, I agree. These warnings are high-risk templates and I'll request protection for them. I will also go through the user talk namespace edits between 19:45 and 19:50 to see if anyone else used this template during that time. --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

I already requested for vandalism4 specifically and left a note with the uw project. There's a discussion there already about wx to semi-protect or not. I hope they'll sprotect immediately and worry about the rest later. --Mdwyer 20:09, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi! First off, thanks for your hard work at WP:PSP. I joined recently and have been trying to help with organizational stuff.

I noticed that you recently re-sorted the WP:PSP member list alphabetically. It's not a very big deal, but I think we can actually present more information by listing members chronologically, as it was. This way, viewers can get a rough idea of when each member joined, which would be extremely difficult by parsing through edit histories. In contrast, organizing the list alphabetically removes this information and doesn't seem to add much.

Also, I believe that chronological member lists are more common, especially for projects of this size. I don't think that there is any actual guideline regarding this, however.

Instead of reverting your edit and possibly creating a misunderstanding, I wanted to bring this up with you first. Any thoughts or preferences?

Thanks,-Fadookie ^Talk 08:53, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

• Hi! That's okay with me, I'll restore the chronological order. Cheers! --KFP (talk | contribs) 15:47, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi there,

Thanks for the move! I was actually busy creating Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Bangladesh as a copy of WikiProject History of Bangladesh in an attempt to help User:Aditya Kabir (who posted {{helpme}}) figure out why the {{todo}} template didn't work as expected, planning to {{db-author}} the original page, because I wasn't certain whether it is possible to move from mainspace to another namespace; but now I know. I ran into an edit conflict when you moved the page, which confused the crap out of me, but all seems okay now. :)

One question: Do you think the redirect from WikiProject History of Bangladesh to Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Bangladesh should stay, or rather not?

Thanks. —Xhantar^Talk 12:10, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• Heh, I was following the {{helpme}} request, too. :) The cross namespace redirect should probably be deleted, I'll tag it. --KFP (talk | contribs) 12:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

• Cool, thanks! I see the WikiProject History of Bangladesh/to do subpage wasn't moved as well, which was my other question—"does moving a page include any subpages it might have?" Guess not, but I've manually created Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Bangladesh/to do anyway and will {{db-author}} the other, with Aditya Kabir's consent, so that's fine. —Xhantar^Talk 12:46, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for moving Wikipedia:WikiProject History of Bangladesh. I am new at this and, with all the good intentions, I might need enormous amount of help. Thanks, man, thanks a lot. Aditya Kabir 12:11, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

I've always had problems with Someguy0830 since 2005. Personally, I think that he is very selfish when it comes to editing the Naruto articles. He likes them only the way he wants them. Example: I wanted to add a certain signature technique to Orochimaru (Naruto), but he says 'no that signature technique is in the "anime only"' (japanese animation show, not the japanese comic). Since when are we only going by the manga comics and not the show? He says that it isn't notable enough even though it is used a grand total of three times in the animation show, just as the Hidden Shadow Snake (on Orochimaru's list) is used three times. I've had other problems with him, but can you help us settle this first? Power level (Dragon Ball) 22:06, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

After the first matter is taken care of, can you help me solve this matter as well? I'll be back later! Power level (Dragon Ball) 22:26, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

• Well, I suggest that you try to resolve the dispute by explaing your thoughts at Talk:Orochimaru (Naruto) and Talk:Kakashi Hatake and discussing the disputed edits with Someguy0830 and other involved editors there and hopefully you will reach an understanding. I cannot really "take sides" in this argument as I am not at all familiar with Naruto. Let me know if you cannot reach a consensus through discussion or if you have further questions.

Greetings,

Thanks for answering my call for help regarding the link to the audio file of Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. However, problems persist! When I click "play in browser", the music begins quite promptly, but is broken into small fragments (about one-half second each), many of them repeated as if on an old, scratched vinyl record...with silences of similar duration between fragments. Sometimes the music will "backtrack" a few bars, and eventually grinds to a halt within the first small section.

The file plays beautifully in "My Music", and I have installed all the necessary Java tools and oggcodecs to allow it play on Windows Media Player 10. (It also works if I use the "download and play directly" link on the "JOrbis Player Beta for Wikimedia" page...but the download takes more than an hour.) I have also read every Help Page I can find!!!

Is it possible that this system simply does not work on Dial-Up? (I live in the country, so there are few choices.) Or might my Java updates or oggcodecs be flawed downloads?

I should also mention that I use Firefox as my default browser. When I checked it with IE7 tonight, the old version of the page was still there, will the old audio link. After a bit of work, I was able to see the new version (which I believe you added). I tested it, on IE7, and had the same results there.

Is there not a system while will work for slow Internet connections?

Thanks for your time and attention. Prof.rick 07:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I can't test the "play in browser" feature right now as my browser doesn't support the JOrbisPlayer, but the file works fine if I download it and use my standalone audio player to listen to it. I think what you are experiencing may be a buffering problem related to the low bandwidth of the dial-up internet connection: The duration of the recording is about thirteen minutes, but downloading the 14 megabytes of data over dialup takes much longer which means that the modem cannot keep up with the audio stream.

I discussed Ottoman Empire history in Rumi page, but Rumi did not live in Ottoman Empire, so I think my discussion was at wrong place.Second, I answered "does anyone know when some of these reforms(Atatürk reforms) changed back?" question, but this is not about the content of that article, but a general question, I regret I have answered that question.

Oh, I just noticed that you used the {{PD-self}} image copyright tag (which states "I, the creator of this work, hereby release it into the public domain...") on the image page. That tag is for cases where the uploader and creator of the image are the same person. As for searching, Wikipedia doesn't actually have an effective search engine for images.

I found it almost accidentally from Wikimedia Commons, the Wikimedia Foundation's shared media repository. It is possible to search for images using Wiki's own search engine or an external one such as Google. This, however doesn't work as well as, for example, Flickr's image search. Commons also has image galleries and categories (example). --KFP (talk | contribs) 17:11, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Just curious, do you warn vandals, or discuss articles? I want to try to avoid editcountitis, but if that's the price to pay for ensuring that an RfA candidate passes - which brings me to the other question. Do you think you're ready for adminship? Xiner (talk, email) 00:52, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Xiner! I often warn or notify users when I revert inappropriate edits but not always, for example in cases where some time has passed after the reverted edit. Many of the unhelpful edits on Wikipedia come from shared computers/IP addresses (in schools, for example) and a message left on such an IP's talk page hours after the reverted edit was made is somewhat likely to be received by someone else than the intended person. I discuss articles on talk pages when appropriate, but not as often as some others as I rarely get into content disputes. As for adminship, I think I need a couple of weeks to look into a few things before being comfortable with an RfA. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 09:28, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I added the redlink to the Seas disambiguation page per WP:MOSDAB#Redlinks as I believe that an article on the company could and should be written. I may write the article myself if I find good sources, but right now I don't have those so I just put the redlink in as a bait. --KFP (talk | contribs) 09:33, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello KFP. I think you didn't gave enough time to the vote aforementioned. You stopped it just in the middle of it, when the last vote was around 8 hours before you stopped it. Also, there were more supporters than opposers, and the situation "Promoted"/"Not Promoted" can still be changed. Thank you, Tomer T 14:16, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I closed the nomination as it had been listed at WP:FPC for eight days and there was no consensus to promote it (vote count was 6.5 supports versus 5.5 opposes). Ideally, nominations should be closed after seven days but this is not always possible. If you disagree with the decision, you can ask for a second opinion at WT:FPC or renominate it later. Also, as compression artifacts were among the opposers' complaints, you could ask if Wpopp has an uncompressed version of the image. --KFP (talk | contribs) 14:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

The table on Mazharul Islam looks ugly to me. It's difficult to access, the size is intimidating, the last column that contains comments is way too wide, the projects coulmn or the second column doesn't project the projects strongly, and a grouping of the years may do it much good. Can you give a hand there? I have been advised by User:Real96 to take help from WP:TABLE, but since I am quite illiterate on this code thing it is not helping (I can steal codes from others fine, but writing or fixing it is way too scary for me). Cheers. Aditya Kabir 12:27, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I tweaked the table a bit. Do you think it is better now? --KFP (talk | contribs) 13:52, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I've been trying to do the following:

• Get the text in a slightly smaller size (not as small as the <small> code would generate, and all of it, not just the comments column)
• Get the column sizes fixed (so that the comments column doesn't become the widest column)
• Find out some way to make the projects in the projects column stand out more.
• Get the years on the first column grouped together (one wide row for a particular year flanked by 2/3 rows of individual projects).
• Put some more margin inside the cells.
• And, change the colors of the table a bit (though this part I have figured out I don't know the web color codes enough to do that)

Can you help me to tweak it around a bit more? Aditya Kabir 14:00, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

My Question Concerns: Adding A Link Within Another Link

This is my Original Question: Please, can anyone tell me the proper format to create a link within another link? (Or, is this even possible?) For example, let's say that I want the text to read exactly: Arnold (The Governator) Schwarzenegger. What is the proper linking format that would create this exact text so that it links to both the "Arnold Schwarzenegger" article and the "The Governator" article? Please help. Thanks a lot! (JosephASpadaro 05:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC))

This is a response that I received: Well, you could do Arnold (The Governator) Schwarzenegger as [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold]] [[(The Governator)]] [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Schwarzenegger]]. That's a little weird though. Max 16:54, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

This was my response to the response above: Thanks. Yes, I thought of that -- but it's certainly not an elegant way to achieve what I need. Furthermore, it's not quite accurate to have the text of the person's first name only (e.g., Arnold) link to his full name (e.g., Arnold Schwarzenegger). These types of nicknames happen all the time (e.g., Michael "Air" Jordan, Jesse "The Body" Ventura, etc.). I would think that there is an easy way to accomplish this. Any ideas? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 03:00, 16 March 2007 (UTC))

Sorry, I'm not aware of a practical means of placing a link inside another link. Adding one would also be confusing for most readers. Nicknames should generally not have separate articles: for example, The Governator exists simply as a redirect to the article Arnold Schwarzenegger. If it is necessary or important to include the nickname, it is probably best to go with the following format: [[Arnold Schwarzenegger|Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger]]. This produces the following: Arnold "The Governator" Schwarzenegger. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 01:30, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. I guess that Arnold Schwarzenegger was a poor example. I meant something more along the lines of this: Henry ("The Fonz") Winkler -- done so that it would create a link to both the article on Henry Winkler, the actor -- as well as a link to a separate article on the fictitious TV character "The Fonz." Or, other examples: Ralph ("The Karate Kid") Macchio ... Jackie ("The Honeymooners") Gleason. Things of that nature. Any suggestions? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 04:11, 24 March 2007 (UTC))

Hmm... I think you'll have to think of another way to convey the same information to the reader. Also, depending on context, use of nicknames may be a bit too informal for an encyclopedia article. --KFP (talk | contribs) 18:59, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Why are you mentioning nicknames again? I specifically stated that the Arnold Schwarzenegger example (with the nickname of "The Governator") was a poor choice for an example on my part. Then, I gave three more pertinent examples, none of which contain a nickname -- but, rather, a reference to the actor's work. So, you have me confused. Please clarify. Thanks! (JosephASpadaro 19:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC))

Oh, sorry. Can you give me an example of an article where you would like to use this kind of linking? --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:24, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

The articles would (generally) involve actors, acting, television, movies, etc., but not necessarily. For example, a sentence might read: "The May 12, 1975 issue of TV Guide featured Henry (The Fonz) Winkler on its cover." I would like that sentence to link to both articles: the article on the actor (Henry Winkler) and the article on his TV character (The Fonz). It would seem inappropriate to make a link from simply "Henry" to the "Henry Winkler" article. Another example: "The 1983 Best Actor Oscar was awarded to Jackie (The Honeymooners) Gleason." These are simply fictitious examples that I concocted. The point is a person's name is often split with a nickname or common reference that is sandwiched between the person's first and last name. Another example: The singer Don ("American Pie") McClean spoke at the college graduation. Any thoughts? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 23:36, 25 March 2007 (UTC))

I think it might be better to write something along the lines of "The 1983 Best Actor Oscar was awarded to Jackie Gleason for his performance in The Honeymooners" or "The May 12, 1975 issue of TV Guide featured Henry Winkler, best known for his portrayal of Arthur "The Fonz" Fonzarelli in Happy Days, on its cover". All depending on context, of course. --KFP (talk | contribs) 16:53, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. But, certainly, I am aware of how to rewrite the sentences in such a way that the nicknames/references are separated from being sandwiched in between the person's first and last names. That was not the issue. The issue is this - it is rather common to refer to someone in the following manner: Henry ("The Fonz") Winkler or Arnold (The Governator) Schwarzenegger or Jackie ("The Honeymooners") Gleason. Is it possible at all to create suitable links, using this exact verbiage style, to both pertinent articles (e.g., the Winkler article and the Fonz article)? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 02:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC))

Thanks for your input. I appreciate it. I never heard back from you, as of my last post. Still, I wanted to thank you for your help. Take care. (JosephASpadaro 01:58, 6 April 2007 (UTC))

Do you need to reduce the resolution (which makes it much harder to see the characters) on promotional images? and to what size. I'm not fully sure. gren グレン 13:54, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I rescaled the image per criteria 2 and 3 of WP:FU#Policy. I am not aware of a separate policy for promotional images. Also, the photo seems to be by Warner Bros but the website that is presented as the source for this image (the-leaky-cauldron.org) is a fansite that "is in no way affiliated with J.K. Rowling, Warner Bros. or any of its partners or affiliates within the Harry Potter franchise."

Hi. I want to mark an article for deletion *without logging in*. But without me logging in, Wikipedia won't create a page in the special forum for discussions of marked articles. I marked the article (John_Mauldin) for deletion anyway, but I'm limited to using the regular discussion page. I have used that discussion page to explain myself (see also http://www.johnmauldin.com, . The reason I don't want to have to log in is that I don't want to expose myself to the possibility of getting spammed at by the target of my protest. My worry is all the greater because the email I use for my Wikipedia account is different from the email where I've been getting spammed already. To conclude: how best can a Wikipedian mark an article for deletion on the ground that it serves a commercial purpose or on the ground that the person featured in the article is directly intruding in the lives of Wikipedians?

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, block anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion for more than 5 days (provided there's a consensus), protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;).

Hi, KFP, I don't mean to impose. The reason I am asking you specifically for help is that I was pleased with how you helped me previously when I posted a "cry for help" at my talk page.

There's this contributor who's English is so bad and who's regard for facts is so careless that I would like to have their IP address blocked. At the least, I would like someone in authority to talk to them. I do not like to call this person a vandal because their intentions are honorable and their postings do not demean people. This person edits the article, History of Portugal. They like to post in flurries of brief edits. And they are unregistered. I have already reverted their first flurry and justified myself in the article's Discussion page. What do you suggest I do now? Thanks. Hurmata 23:38, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Discussion is mostly the best way to resolve disagreements over editing. In this case it may be difficult to get in contact with the editor in question as he/she is editing anonymously, but Talk:History of Portugal is a good place to post concerns (as you already did). An alternative place is the IP's talk page at User talk:213.22.20.21 but messages left there may be received by someone else than the intended recipient. I also encourage you to be bold in improving the article and fixing errors there. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 16:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if sysadmins are aware but this IP (along with four or five others) act as proxy addresses for the entire NHS in the UK - tens of thousands of users. Thanks again AulaTPN 11:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, the IP addresses of logged-in users are not shown to admins. Autoblocks are 24 hour blocks of the blocked user's IP address and are automatically set by the MediaWiki software in an attempt to prevent further disruption. Thus blocking a vandalism-only account sometimes causes collateral damage. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Autoblock. Sorry for the inconvenience. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 11:59, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah I completely understand but if the vandal was already identified as a registered user then I'm wondering why the sysop simply didn't autoblock the account? AulaTPN 07:31, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

If we only blocked specific accounts, the blocked user could keep disrupting Wikipedia by simply logging out or switching to another account and it could be very difficult to keep track of the disruption. Mostly blocks of IP addresses do not cause collateral damage (some shared IP addresses are exempted from autoblocks) but regrettably "mostly" does not mean "always". --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:06, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi, KFP. I noticed that you protected this image as it is in main page. Could you please tell me the reason why the image on main pages should be protected? Anyways, Please reply in my talk page. Cheers! Daniel5127 | Talk 06:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Main page images, as well as everything else that appears on the main page are protected because of their high visibility. If they were not protected, they would very likely be vandalised, that is, someone would upload a different file (a shock image, for example) over the correct image. This would result in said shock image appearing on the main page instead of the intended picture. I hope this explains the protection. --KFP (talk | contribs) 13:38, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

The United States Mint will not object to use of the obverse or reverse design of the Lincoln "Memorial Reverse" Cent, "Indian Head/Buffalo" Nickel, Pre-2004 Jefferson/Monticello Nickel, Winged Liberty/Mercury Dime, Roosevelt Dime, Pre-1999 Washington/Eagle Quarter-Dollar, Bicentennial Quarter-Dollar, Kennedy Half-Dollar, Kennedy Bicentennial Half-Dollar, Eisenhower Bicentennial Dollar or Susan B. Anthony Dollar coins (each, a "Covered Coin" and collectively, "Covered Coins"), subject to the following conditions:

...

*PLEASE NOTE: This policy does not cover use of the design of any coin not specifically defined above as a Covered Coin. For example, it does not cover the Golden Dollar coin featuring Sacagawea, or coins issued under the 50 State Quarters® Program (which has its own design use policy) or the Westward Journey Nickel Series™. It also does not cover the name or other trademarks of the United States Mint, nor does it cover publicity rights. It does not grant any waiver, release, or written permission of the Director under 18 U.S.C. § 709i or 31 U.S.C. § 333ii.

This policy does not confer any personal right or cause of action, and does not relieve any party from any other duty or obligation.

By the US Mints policy, while the Buffalo Nickel is okay, the Buffalo Gold Coin might be pushing it or outright breaking it. By chance, does Wikipedia have free Legal Services that might help clear this up?--293.xx.xxx.xx 05:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi. To put an image on your user page, you have to upload the image via Special:Upload and release it under a free license. If you own the rights to the image, you can select a free license of your choosing from the "Licensing" drop-down list.

The box is in the "watchlist" section of Special:Preferences.

The empty En-Wikipedia image page for this file was deleted per CSD I2 after the featured picture nomination was closed so it fell victim to this software bug then.

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Audio-Technica, by RJASE1, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Audio-Technica seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Audio-Technica, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Audio-Technica itself.

I am unsure how to classify this image, [[Image:Cat dude.jpeg]]. It is a standard LOLCat image that I use on my userpage (via a contents page). Ownership of these images is almost always impossible to determine, which is why I originally tagged it as {{Non-free unsure}}. It was tagged for deletion as being in possible violation of Creative Commons. Since it is a common image, I tagged it as such. Still, it was tagged for deletion and retagged {{Non-free unsure}} and I am back to confused.

If you know what an LOLCat image would be classified under, template-wise, please let me know, I would greatly appericate it, because I like the little dude and I think that is all of us one time or another after a long night of editing.

Hi! As you know I am writing at present the history of the Finnish Orthodox Church. I happen tohave some nice pictures of buildings and persons related to the Orthodox Church (as I am formally a member of it). I asked a friend of mine to put the picture of an old icon depicting St. Sergius and St. Herman of Valaam, in the article. My friend has never earlier done this and he is as totally ignorant, as I am, about Wikimedia Commons and of the process of putting a picture into an article. I have some 10-20 years ago cut the picture of the icon in question from some brochure, ( which one, I have totally forgotten ), about Valaam monastery. The icon is probably painted in the 19th century or early 20th century because of the fact that it is painted in the "degenerate" style i.e. a style that stopped around WW II. In that style icon painters tried to paint according to the rules of ordinary paintings. The picture was there for two days, and vanished there-after. When I click on the empty place where the picture used to be, I get just frightened by all the orders and demands put on me. By the way, I had to open an account in Wikimedia Commons in order to get the picture placed in the article. I use in Commons the same pseudonym as in Wikipedia. As to copyrights, icons arenever signed.

Well, what shall I do? I feel I am pretty troublesome and a burden to you. Lastly: - Thank you for the archive! Tellervo 09:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I understand Wikipedia's need to be self-governed by directors and for information to be verifiable. However, by deleting the upcoming, growing, and independent, Wikipedia is subjugating anything new and not allowing progress. The finger jousting page was not an advertising or spam attempt at gaining some hits. I did not start that entry or even really work on it. That entry was made by fans of the sport. When the people discussing the entry prior to you deleting were discussing sources, you didn't even bother to look on the WFJF's Media Coverage page: http://www.fingerjoust.com/media/coverage.htm. Those are all good sources and are well documented. We have radio spotlights, podcasts, newspapers, television, and all that. Just because the sport is new and rather smallish now, does not mean it should not be in the Wikipedia. We're a bonafide organization just like the sport which has been around for about thirty years in different forms. The sport is quite well known just by different places around the United States and Great Britain. We're philanthropic and just made a donation to the local Muscular Dystrophy Association chapter. I understand that you all will probably stand by your decision (even though the discussion in the deletion page was split), I believe the deletion was uncalled for and a well done refurbishing of the webpage would have been well deserved. After the sport continues to grow in prominence this year, I think you guys will realize that you should have just left the entry in instead of having to go make a new one eventually. Thank you for your time. - The Lord of the Joust

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Nice to get your answer about adminship! I know admins have some special tools for their job, but I know nothing more about them. What kind of a bucket & so on? I am not aiming foradminship, so a general description is quite enough. Are you studying or teaching engineering??

This time I should like to ask you for a tutorial about how to put images into an article. In Wikimedia Commons there is a nice picture of the interior of the Uspenski Cathedral ("Altar-raum Uspenski Cathedral in Helsinki"). I think it would look nice in the article about the Finnish Orthodox Church, as a tunnelmakuva somewhere lower after that pretty uninspiring but quite informing piece about the dioceses of Finland. I have dabbled in trying to get it up to Wikipedia, but just ended up realizing it is too though stuff for me.

The other picture I should like to put into Wikipedia is a picture of Marshal C.G.E. Mannerheimin his youth as a Russian officer in the Chevalier Guard. I happen to have a good one in Veijo Meri's biography on him (Suomen Marsalkka C.G. Mannerheim, 1990). The picture is ofcourse over70 years old, but is there some other limitations for using it? ( One "limitation" might be thepatriotic flavour of the article, - other editors may dislike to be reminded of his years in the Russian army and his loyalty to the Romanovs.) Hoping you are well and content with your life! --Tellervo 17:58, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello again. Admin tools mostly have to do with keeping Wikipedia clean and dealing with user conduct issues. The tools most often used are deletion and undeletion, blocking and unblocking and page protection and unprotection. Deletion is for pages that Wikipedia is for one reason or another better off without, blocking is to protect Wikipedia and its users from disruptive editors and page protection is mostly for dealing with certain types of vandalism or edit warring. Admins can also view deleted pages and images without undeleting them and edit the MediaWiki namespace to change the site interface and such. There are some other, less commonly used tools as well and some that require a different access level.

As for images, the simplest way is to type

[[File:Bad Title Example.png|thumb|right|Caption goes here.]]

to the place in the article where you want the image to appear. In this case "Image:Example.png" is the file name and "Caption goes here." is the caption of the image. This will produce the image shown on the right.

If the Mannerheim image is in the public domain or freely licensed, you are free to upload it on Wikipedia using the "Upload file" link in the toolbox on the left or at Wikimedia Commons. I hope this helps... And no, I'm not studying or teaching engineering. I do study business related things, though. --KFP (talk | contribs) 17:01, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello KFP! Thank you for the instruction on how to put an image in the article! If you have time, please, visit "History of the Finnish Orthodox Church" and tell me what went wrong with the "tunnelmakuva" from the Uspensky Cathedral? Greetings! --Tellervo 11:21, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, there is a typographical error in the filename on Wikimedia Commons. It says "uspenki" when it should be "uspenski". I changed the Wikipedia page to reflect this mistyping. It is also possible to reupload the file under a new filename. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 18:58, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you again KFP! What a curious error in Wikimedia Commons! Btw do you know a good copy editor? Cheers! --Tellervo 09:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

This is already being discussed on WP:AN. -- Ned Scott 06:14, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, your idea to have a meetup in Helsinki. It would really be nice to see in reality what is behind all these pseudonymes' with whom we are corresponding, got angry with, wanting to say thank you to..... and so on. Any place and almost any time is OK for me. --Tellervo (talk) 17:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

In the past I received wonderful help from you on coding, and that wasn't always directly related to the project itself. I am turning to you again for help with something that relates to my userspace. I have a chart on my homapage here, under the heading "I ♥ the smell of napalm in the morning", that describes which superhero I resemble. The whole idea is copied from another Wikipedian. But, I can't get the chart to integrate with the page. I put it in one place, and it shows up in another, and in the process italicizes some text uselessly. It also refuses to become smaller. I would have redone the chart if I knew how. Can you do something about it? No matter how small, it will be most appreciated. Please? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 16:55, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. It already gives me a good feeling to think that you cared enough to take a look. Well... I have put the codes for the chart where I want it to appear (on the right side just below the section "I love the smell of napalm in the morning"). If you open the section you'll see the codes sitting there. But, I guess, it's written in HTML and isn't fitting into the Wikicode world. Any layout would be fine, as long the bar chart remains a bar chart (with percentage labels), and the rest of the information doesn't vanish (including the link). Would you believe that I couldn't figure even that little? Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 16:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I hoped I would have forgot all about it by now. I tried to fiddle with the codes a bit myself, eventually gave up, removing it completely. I was nice and funny. But, I think I have a better idea for the home page, as in more directly related to the Wikipedia. And, I am so very honored that you went back to the page to lend a hand. Thanks, dear, really.

Hi KFP,
I was under the impression that I'd blocked User:213.48.73.89 but it seems that he can still edit (or is it that he can only edit his talkpage?). Could you please explain? ( Sorry for the noob question - my first block ;))Thanks, --Fir0002 09:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Hey Fir0002! Yes, the block should be working just fine but blocked users can still edit their own talk pages (so they can request unblocking) unless they are protected. Said talk pages can be protected in case of abuse. Congratulations on your first block! And it only took you about a year and a half of being an admin to get around to it! :p --KFP (talk | contribs) 18:35, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for blocking this user for Spamdexing. Checking the edit history of the five articles he spammed I noted identical spamming to the very same articles from user:58.187.22.214 had been reverted a few hours earlier this morning. I suspect it may be the same user, as those 5 spamming edits are the only edits on that IP account. Would it be worth blocking it as a spamming account. Richard Harvey (talk) 12:33, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:WP Bangladesh, the project banner, unrolls a set of edit instructions. If you put "stub" as the class parameter and "yes" as the geography parameter it comes out. The instructions used to be very cumbersome (and, after my dabbling, looks silly). You can take a look at it on Talk:Bagherpara Upazila. I was trying to get a collapsible set of instructions like Template:Film. Unfortunately, that one doesn't have any parameters to fill and comes always ready with the banner. Can you lend a hand there?

I haven't been able to learn the codes yet (I don't think I'll be learning ever, technologically handicapped as I am). Sorry to bother you again. But, I have no one else to turn to with these kind of problems. I hope you'd understand. If you are too busy or something, please, let me know. I'll just revert whatever I was trying to do. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 10:49, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello... busy? I thought I'd post a re-request. As soon as this is fixed, I can start using the template. The ungainly size and all are preventing me from doing that right now (who'd prefer to find this ugly looking, or the previous ugly looking, large template, really). Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 00:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Happy New Year. It would be very nice if you could get someone who can fix it. I have a feeling that this good idea of a template may eventually have to go, because of its cumbersome looks. So much ugliness on the talk page may be demoralizing. Cheers. Aditya^{(talk • contribs)} 17:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:High Resolution Solar Spectrum.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:High Resolution Solar Spectrum.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:High Resolution Solar Spectrum.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Hi, you recently fully protected this page. This does not allow the user to do as instructed by the admin whom conditional unblock to the user. It also prevents users such as myself guiding this user. I would ask you to reconsider the protection. Thanks, Tiddly-Tom 10:22, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. The user was blocked indefinitely for making no constructive edits to Wikipedia. After the block he continued to troll on his talk page. I can undo the protection for now but... Hmm. --KFP (talk | contribs) 19:24, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

He was also given a conditional unblock. Normal I would have not become involved, but recently I have assisted User:05kinjac to receive an unblock. He now is keen to learn policy and I think he will make a quality editor. I enjoyed helping kinjac, and hoped I could do the same for this user. I was a little annoyed when I found out that I couldn't, and that he could never be unblocked. I did not want a potentially good editor being scared away by this. I have left a message on his talk page and hopefully he will see it soon and want to start contributing constructively to wikipedia. If he continues to show no signs that he will change, I would not mind for the protection to be replaced. Thank you for your help in this matter, Tiddly-Tom 19:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:WEB shows the criteria the article needs to meet. Until the proper sources are added to meet one of those, a claim is just a claim and not backed up. No editor can easily verify it off the article. Significant independent coverage by third parties or evidence of winning a notable award needs to be presented on the page. A claim of largest X, or X amount of users, sourced or otherwise, doesn't satisfy WP:WEB.--Crossmr (talk) 21:53, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... Perhaps. I don't know much about the site nor am I very interested in it. Perhaps someone else will dig up more reliable sources for it. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 22:18, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello! I'd like to see a caption that explains why this image is considered to be such a very exceptional example of high culture. Show, don't tell! And yes, the troll is quite impressive. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 20:48, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi KFP!

I think I have unwittingly created a situation, where nobody dares to propose some nice pub orrestaurant with moderate prices and a relaxed atmosphere by suggesting Cafe´Strindberg and Fazer as meeting places. I am not at all stiff and elitistic, and I regret proposing those two, though I would not mind meeting in them.But I may be wrong, and the planned meetup has broken down out of other reasons. That is sad, asI would have liked to meet other editors. --Tellervo (talk) 08:26, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tellervo! Don't worry, they're good options, I haven't commented anything recently as I'm not sure about a possible date and such... If we look for a restaurant type setting for the meetup, something like Tori might be a good option and if it is to be something more pub-like, Kaisla or something similar might be good. But I don't know! There are dozens of options. :) --KFP (talk | contribs) 17:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! Please improve the ITN blurb on the detentions. Currently the blurb just essentially states that "two people were detained somewhere". Such things happen constantly (probably thousands of times every day) and the blurb doesn't really indicate why it is a notable event. Also, Wikipedia's coverage of it seems to be limited to one paragraph in the article MY Steve Irwin. I'm not really convinced that the U.S. politician thing is "ITN-worthy" either but I must say that the blurb for it makes a far clearer assertion of notability than this one.

I missed the {{afd}} for List_of_alleged_al-Qaeda_members.My notes contain lots of sources for who has been alleged to have been members of al-Qaeda, that comply with WP:BLP.

If you userified this list to User:Geo Swan/Review/List_of_alleged_al-Qaeda_members, and I pruned the ones without BLP-compliant references, and supplied BLP-compliant references for the remainder, would you agree that it would then be appropriate to move it back into article space?

If you userified it for me, would you want to look at it, and give it an endorsement, prior to moving it back to article space? Or do you think this would require a DRV?

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Absoluuttinen_nollapiste_-_Seitsemäs_sinetti.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure 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 you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Hello, KFP,
I just came over to the Espoo article when I found out someone was writng about the shooting here. I had edited 2009 Espoo shopping mall shooting a bit when I found there was another article Ibrahim Shkupolli on the suspect.
I thought they should be at least merged, and User:Piano non troppo has put notability tags on both of them. The suspect has apparently suicided so unless they find more bodies (6 so far), it seems to be the end of the affair, and the other articles may not be notable enough for retention. I was thinking maybe the Espoo article would now be the best place for the shooting to stay? ps. It's 'next year' where I am so happy New Year!

There is a discussion going on whether the name of that German church body can be translated or not (it appears like this on the english pages of this church's homepage). One user changed the name of this Church (actually a federation of several Lutheran, United and Reformed churches) and it's regional member churches to the German form because he says their names can't get translated. so the article on the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Bavaria now appears under its German name because he says the "concept" can't be translated into English.

Hello! Since you participated in The MfD, you might be interested in participating in the Deletion Review, as well.

Please can you respond to the outstanding issues, discussed on my profile, following your unwarranted and arbitrary deletion of this article. Thanks Andrewjlockley (talk) 14:20, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello. As I said, I believe WP:BLP applies even though the person was not named in the last revision(s) of the article (particularly as it appeared to be about a child). A single blog post (even if it's by a journalist affiliated with a major newspaper) is not enough in this type of case. Also, as I said earlier, you can request undeletion at deletion review. Some somewhat similar Internet memes that concern living people certainly do meet Wikipedia's policies for inclusion but this article does not, I think. --KFP (contact | edits) 23:25, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Also, in case you didn't see it, the proposed deletion reason was "This article does not seem to be noteworthy. It reads like it sets a legal precedent. When in reality it is about a Press Complaints Commission ruling. The PCC being a regulatory body for British printed newspapers and magazines, and not a court of law. The "Implications of the case" section is nonsense too. The PCC ruling does not have any implications for future privacy cases since the PCC is not a court of law, and does not hear such privacy cases. If someone wanted to stop a newspaper printing some pictures then they would need a court injunction." This was not the reason for the deletion but you should probably take it into consideration when/if requesting an undeletion. Apart from that, the approach of the article to the issue seemed to be ok per se, but more substantial sourcing is definitely needed. --KFP (contact | edits) 23:43, 10 September 2010 (UTC)

Eh? I'm not in the help channel yesterday. Why would you thought that it was me? Someone uses my name in the help channel and did something malicious? Arteyu ? _{Blame it on me !} 19:41, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks for fixing my blunder with the reference missing the equals sign! seaotter6Seaotter6 (talk) 20:09, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

You're welcome, and you're also welcome to Wikipedia! Ask away if you have any further questions. Happy editing! --KFP (contact | edits) 17:29, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I suppose I should've timed this message at 10:10:10 too, but frankly, I can't be arsed. You know how it is.

Did you know... that tenten in Japaense writing are a little wiggly thing, a bit like a quotation-mark, which makes e.g. "ka" (か) into "ga" (が) or "fu" (ふ) into "bu" (ぶ) ?

So, take time out to have a bit of a giggle.

All the best, and 10-10 'till we do it again.  Chzz  ►  08:49, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

1. Count Of Angoulême (1st of Taillefer Branch) c866- c886, Vulgrin/Wulgrin (I),
2. Count Of Angoulême (2nd of Taillefer Branch) c886- c916, Hilduin/Alduin/Audoin (I), son of Wulgrin (I)
3. Count Of Angoulême (3rd of Taillefer Branch) c916- c945, William/Guillaume (II) aka William "Taillefer" I, son of Hilduin/Alduin/Audoin (I) [also first time Taellefer is used)

19. Countess Of Angoulême (19th of Taillefer Branch) c1202-c1220, Isabella aka Isabella "Taillefer", daughter of Aymer,
    1. Count Of Angoulême (1st Of The Lusignan Branch) c1220-cont, Hugh X (Of, De, D') Lusignan, Wife of above Isabella of Angoulême

not all the soures are in 100% agreement, but they are relatively close (some skip mminor holdings, other jilt the "count" around a bit). This is the best median ground barring a professional historian specializing in the time/families/titles getting involved.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.91.236.145 (talk) 08:15, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Signing my comment, now that I have a Wiki account, which is now also noted in the concerned pages talk page.Collision-Shift (talk) 02:40, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

• Hi there Collision-Shift. Thanks for the research and welcome to Wikipedia! I recommend that you be bold and make the necessary changes to the list of counts.
