Thanks for uploading that image, it's very fascinating. Is that what Chariklo actually looks like, or were you doing it by imagination? If it's round like that I wonder if it'll be classified as a dwarf planet.
Anyway, thanks! --IdLoveOne 18:37, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the comment and sorry for the long wait for a reply. It was actually from my imagination; the best pictures of Chariklo are only small dots of white or yellow, so I decided I'd just think something up. It Isn't that round, but it is pretty round. About the dwarf planet thing, I don't think it has achieved a hydrostatic equilibrium, but I don't see why not... --Interchange88 10:23, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Nasa_sedna_art.jpg. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the copyright status of the image because the source is incomplete. Please consider clarifying the exact source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself. Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page or me at my talkpage. Thank you. MECU≈talk 20:02, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I don't think I ever thanked you for uploading this! Do you have any knowledge of if or when they're going to do a flyby of a centaur? --IdLoveOne (talk) 20:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello Interchange88;
Roentgenium111 has noticed that your diagram for 10199 Chariklo is off by a factor of two. It should be closer to 130km. We were wondering if you could re-edit it for us? But as a positive the current version is as a great diagram showing what the radius of a typical small dwarf planet like 38628 Huya would look like compared to Pluto and the Moon. Perhaps you could make a new Chariklo diagram and label the old diagram to say "small dwarf planet (225 km, mean radius). -- Kheider (talk) 15:23, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello! The page you edited here is an archive of the reference desk. It's kept for historical purposes. When you have a question, you should ask at Wikipedia:Reference desk, in the appropriate category.

Regarding your map of the Akkadian Empire at Akkadian_Empire_Map.gif
There are a few errors and changes that I can suggest.
Firstly the area of the Akkadian Empire is incorrect.
Akkad was probably further south than you have shown. It is currently believed to bhave been close to Sippar.
Secondly the territories added by Sargon was the area you have shown byt the previous state was not the Akkadian Empire, but in fact the Empire of Lugalzagessi of Umma whose Empire Sargon took over. It was the states of Southern Iraq only and did not extend as far north as Nineveh. Thirdly Sargon's empire extended as far as Magan (probably the copper mines of Oman), which are excluded from the map. You might like to add Dimun (Bahrein) which was an important entrepot for trade with Melluhha (probably the Indus Valley). Cyptus was probably called Kaptara (if that does not refer to the Cretians (Keftiu)).
Hope this helps

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 01:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi, you undid an edit by Davex1000 (talk · contribs) at Facebook because that article is set to the new review status. I unded edits by the same user at Criticism of Facebook, which does not have similar protection. I am on my lunchbreak and have to go back to work soon, so cannot keep watch over that page for much longer; would you be able to engage with the user and show him the error of his ways? -- roleplayer 12:10, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for reverting that edit at the List of Greek mythological figures article. I accidentally clicked accept when I shouldn't have (I'm still new to the review feature). Shannon! talk 20:29, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
Hello. I removed a reference from the article that was broken and causing a cite error. When I tracked down what had caused the error I found that you had deleted a number of "faulty refs". I wonder, since you obviously can understand russian, did you ever consider translatingthe origional {{book|author=Г. Л. Холявский.|chapter=Энциклопедия танков}} to whatever the english Wp version would be? It might be {{Cite book}} or something similar. I added {{cn}} in all the places that you removed the refs, if you cannot add new sources, maybe someone else will. Thanks. 24.34.148.49 (talk) 07:06, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi. As you recently commented in the straw poll regarding the ongoing usage and trial of Pending changes, this is to notify you that there is an interim straw poll with regard to keeping the tool switched on or switching it off while improvements are worked on and due for release on November 9, 2010. This new poll is only in regard to this issue and sets no precedent for any future usage. Your input on this issue is greatly appreciated. Off2riorob (talk) 23:36, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Afg Op Mtn Storm.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from or who created it. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

The article Operation Mountain Storm (Afghanistan) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Anotherclown (talk) 06:19, 3 December 2010 (UTC)
I don't know what you mean. As I see it, it looks just fine--it's well-organized, contains too much information to make a merge feasible, and contains plenty of appropriate references to the source material, which serve to establish its importance. I think your deletion proposal was a solution in search of a problem that did not actually exist. Húrin Thalion (talk) 18:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
I've temporarily removed this map from the List of metro systems, as your map is missing the systems in Canada. It's a great map, so I'd love to see it included, but missing a country needs a fix. oknazevad (talk) 19:37, 1 January 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you could find all the resources for modifying SVGs here. I will not be able to keep the map updated since I will be busy next week. It would be great if someone else adopts the map by changing colours when needed, it shouldn't take more than 1 minute. -- Rafy talk 14:56, 27 February 2011 (UTC)
I do not believe the map you just placed gives the right idea. It is true that Misurata and Zawiya are constantly under attack, but those attacks are repelled and protesters are only gaining defectors and keeping control of the city, thus it should be marked red, under protester control. Please consider =D Zenithfel (talk) 02:14, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for joining the Russian History task force! You have chosen a truly gorgeous topic, the First Russian circumnavigation. That expedition included an unusually large number of notable events and people (sometimes quite funny people). I'll try to help developing the article, though currently I'm mostly busy with other tasks. GreyHood Talk 23:20, 1 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi Interchange88, just wanted to let you know that I have added the autopatrolled right to your account, as you have created numerous, valid articles. This feature should have little to no effect on your editing, and is simply intended to reduce the workload on new page patrollers. For more information on the patroller right, see Wikipedia:Autopatrolled. Feel free to leave me a message if you have any questions. Happy editing!

On 4 April 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Siege of Nöteborg (1702), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that after receiving a letter during the 1702 Siege of Nöteborg, Peter the Great offered the defending officers' wives safe passage, if they took their husbands with them? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

The article J.J. Racaza has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Jac16888 Talk 17:08, 12 June 2011 (UTC)

Hi Interchange, I recently stumbled across the article on "Global Cities" where you thankfully provided a graphic. Though I was wondering what the city in the North of Kazakhstan should be. Turns out Almaty, which lies on the Kazakh southern border instead. Probably a typo when entering the latitude? Anyway, it looks strange, since there is basically nothing where the dot is. Maybe you can correct it when you find the time? Thanks. --Ulkomaalainen (talk) 09:08, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Do you have any "Swedish sources" stating that 440 men participated in the defence of the fortress? Do you have any sources listing the Russian TOTAL losses throughout the whole siege? Those already claimed is from the assault only. And why do you keep to removing the adds I'm making? Even though I'm giving you sources you keep deleting them and that's not very "free encyclopedia" Imonoz (talk) 15:24, 25 August 2012 (UTC)
• Random style edits - completely unnecessary in most cases; you must be more consistent with numbering and date styles (i.e. "5 October"/"5th of October"/"October 5"). Also keep in mind tone and grammar. • About Torgils Knuttson - okay (watch tone) • Date edits: also largely unnecessary, although I'm not going to change them back because I'm afraid i'd mess them up. • It is, in fact, a "four-day" wait, not "four-days" (although you could say "four days' ") • More bad style edits — why would you deliberately make the grammar worse? Also, number over ten are written in numerals.
I do appreciate the date changes, and thanks for reminding me of this article. I hadn't reviewed it in more than a year, and there were a lot of people (probably from Russia or Sweden) who weren't exactly in full command of English when they decided to contribute to this article.
I'll tell you the truth: I used mostly Russian sources in this article because there are almost no English-language (British, American, etc.) sources, and I am fluent in Russian, not Swedish, so it's easier for me to understand them. I'm going to leave the article to you; I can tell you have an interest in getting down to the facts. Perhaps we could make a section called, "Differing accounts" that say some of the differences in Russian/Swedish sources?
