Sorry but the Nephrotoma quadrifaria is very common in Cantabria; and less common but present, in the rest of all Cantabrian Sea coast and the nord of Castilla y León
all in Iberian peninsula.
I have many quality photographs (of many different times) of this tipulidae here.
In consecuence, your date about the distribution of the Nephrotoma quadrifaria, is not exact.
Oopsy. The old whisperback-welcome page switcheroo thing. Please remove it if you like. Of course, it does have the hypnotic spinny thing. :)

From our past communications, since you're interested in food list articles, I've been working on the
List of soups article periodically to improve it. Feel free to contribute if you have the time. This article is in pretty good shape, but could use more specific descriptions of the soups, and likely some expansion to include entries that are not currently in the article. At any rate, if you're interested, please feel free to
be bold to help improve the article! Northamerica1000(talk)06:25, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Suggesting a Commons deletion?
Hello Anna, this image distribution is extremely poor, more or less useless really, so my feeling is that it should probably be deleted altogether. I am not sure even the photo lab could convert it into something useful. The distribution of this marine species as shown extends at least 100 miles inland! What do you think should be done with it?

Okay. I think the best plan is to simply upload a newer version. I can grab a slice of

This is the old version of the red fuzz map. The red line seems not to hug the coast. Could you describe how you would like it to appear? Also, Snek is pretty good with Gimp and may be someone to ask. I'll point out this thread to him.
Anna Frodesiak (

00:35, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
Hello again Anna and thanks for taking my question so seriously! I don't know whether we want to create a proper version of this map from scratch properly right now, as it could be a lot of work. It's not as if we are currently trying to get GA or FA status for this article Semicassis granulata. I came across it during routine clean up.
And if we did make a map, this would be the first marine map we have created, so we would want if possible to set it up in such a way that we could use the same system for future marine distribution maps.
This snail has been recorded live from low tide level to 94 m in depth, so it lives in coastal areas and not in the deep sea. But it does not live on land, as is apparently shown in the red fuzzy map!
If we tried to make a map, it would need to include Bermuda as a sort of out-runner. I would not try to show the individual countries from which the species has been recorded, but it might be good to try to indicate the general areas correctly.
Invertzoo (
talk)
13:31, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
The species has been recorded in the literature from:
SVG distribution map of Semicassis granulata showing incorrectly deep sea also.
Hello, I was asked for comment so here it is: Maps should be in SVG because such files are easily to modify. For marine species it is very easy to create distribution map, because you will partially hide the blue rectangle behind the grey continent. (For creating SVG distribution maps of terrestrial species it would be useful and necessary (at least for me) to get a blank SVG file with an "ocean layer".) I do not know how to create the distribution map in coastal areas relatively easily. I suppose that it should be possible to make it quite easily; we should ask someone who is very familiar with Inkscape. Moreover I am not sure if there exist any way how to show distribution area to 94 m in depth precisely. --

Sure! Have you photographed city and district halls of Haikou and schools in Haikou? I could see if I can find street addresses, in case you haven't photographed those yet. Another idea is a shot of the old Hainan building shown at
File:Hainan Airlines headquarters.jpg but of the whole building, instead of focusing on a particular area. Also google maps said there is Haikou Chengxi Middle School, Haizheng School, and Qiongshan Overseas Chinese Middle School (海口市琼山华侨中学) at Fengxiang East Road, Qiongshan, Haikou, Hainan, China

If you give me google map coordinates for any location and I will go there and take the photo. If you know the school name but not the coords, I will do my best to find it or have an assistant do so.
The photo at
File:Hainan_Airlines_headquarters.jpg was taken by me. They are about to demolish that whole building. It is gutted. Would you still like the photo?
I can get various court building photos, and have already uploaded some other provincial court buildings. I don't know where the city hall is, but I can find that. Again, any coords of locations you want would be great.
I'm keen on any photos of Haikou. This city is changing so fast that today's photos are tomorrow's history. I even started articles for marinas that only have 2 boats. I know that in 5 years they will be packed and look totally different. One day, these pics will look great in the history section of the articles. Cheers,

Comment from a random passerby: I think
Quantitative computed tomography is better because "QCT" is a three letter acronym which might easily be used for other things. (A quick google turns up lots of other things called "QCT" and I think at least two of them pass
WP:N). So, it's probably best for
QCT to be a redirect to the full name, and some day somebody will build it into a disambiguation page instead.

Anna - Does Wikipedia's revision control system have any conflict avoidance or resolution facilities? I.e., what happens if multiple people are editing an article at the same time? Didn't see anything about this in Editing info or FAQs. I know editing a section is better than editing the whole article, but don't know if more than one person could edit the same section without the 2nd person being notified that it was already being edited, or if saving will warn you if a save has been done since you started your edit.
(
talk page stalker) Your last guess is correct--if someone saved an edit while you were making changes and the software couldn't automatically combine the two sets of changes, you'll be presented with a screen on which you're asked to manually merge the changes. See
Help:Edit conflict for details. And those changes can indeed be marked as minor edits--you did not change the substance or meaning of the article, but rather corrected minor errors in grammar. Don't worry too much about whether you're correctly marking something as minor--so long as your classification isn't ridiculous and you're not deliberately passing off a potentially contentious change as a minor edit, it's fine. :)

On
24 October 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bagel head, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the bagel head is a type of extreme body modification? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at
Template:Did you know nominations/Bagel head. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (
here's how,
quick check) and it will be added 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.
I see. I often encounter boxes with missing parameters or that are just twitchy, and that's a pretty solid fix. Now, if someone could help with infoboxes for ports and stadiums, that would be great. Those can be really buggy when it comes to adding images.

Thank you very much indeed. It is my hope that some can be turned away from the dark side.
I am trying to upload an image file, but I getting an error displayed on the top of the file upload page, saying 'Sorry, in order to upload files on the English Wikipedia, you need to have a confirmed account. Normally, your account will become confirmed automatically once you have made 10 edits and four days have passed since you created it.'.
I just wanted to confirm that the 10 edits required for this could be of the same page or different pages. Also, is there frequency limit for this (that is, the edits should not be made within one single day).
Yes, I have the image with me. Also it is available online. Actually I am trying to add the logo and some images on my company's wiki page. It is available under copyright, so I have no intentions to make it publicly available for any use. — Preceding

Okay. As for the logo, it must be added to an article that already exists in the mainspace, and it must be small, and you need to use the right license. If the article exists, tell me the website source and I can do it for you.
If you want to upload other images, like photographs, for use in the article, then I think they will need to become public domain, sort of. Others can download them and reuse them, but they have to credit you. Okay?

If you're new to the process,
articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on
how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
That's okay. No apology necessary. Maybe it should be deleted. I don't know. There seems to be quite a few others at
Category:Proposed airlines. I figured that if that cat exists, it could be okay. Also, I read
WP:TOOSOON and that seemed okay. Sometimes I don't mind barebones articles because then others come along and add info as it comes in. Anyway, thanks for being so nice about it. And really, zap it if you think that's best. :)

Well, I think that you can move it to your sandbox or expand it. Actually, taking a look at it, it has enough sources to be kept until more information is available (it seems to meet GNG). I guess you are right about TOOSOON but sometimes that guideline is not enough in cases like this (in my opinion, it has received too much coverage). If you need any help into expanding it, you may receive help from the
WikiProject Airlines. I can help you formatting the sources if you need. Regards. —

I saved a copy at a sandbox upon seeing the AfD. I figured it would be deleted for sure.
Did you mean: "...in my opinion, it has not received too much coverage..."?
I may indeed bug the airlines project. They could have some inside scoop from industry sites I don't know about.
I notice that some of the other proposed airlines really bombed and now we have a few articles that could be AfD fodder. Fuzhou Airlines will almost certainly be realized though. When George Soros puts up cash, it usually flies. Also, the airlines will get 300+ million USD, so that sort of helps merit a stub right away.
As for refs, I will run reflinks eventually. I usually hold off on it during expansion to reduce clutter. Also, the urls are pretty stable. But thanks for the offer.
Hehe I meant that for being a still-to-be-properly-established airline, it received a reasonable quantity of coverage. You're welcome :). If you ever need help, send me a message at my main account,
User:Hahc21. Regards. —
ṞṈ™17:12, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
Yes, not bad coverage. It's pretty big cash, and a venture by one of the big airlines in China. I expect quite a bit more media coverage soon. Thanks for the offer of help. I will bug you as soon as anything goes pear-shaped. Best wishes. Anna Frodesiak (

(

File copyright problem with File:Nanjing Normal University - logo01.jpg
Thank you for uploading
File:Nanjing Normal University - logo01.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright and licensing status. Wikipedia takes
copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can verify that it has an acceptable license status and a verifiable source. Please add this information by editing the
image description page. You may refer to the image use policy to learn what files you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. The page on copyright tags may help you to find the correct tag to use for your file. If the file is already gone, you can still make a
request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please also check any other files you may have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is
a list of your uploads.
Oh really? Well, there's a particular editor at IRC who told me rubbish, and that editor is going to get a jolly good hiding. :) Thank you very much for the info and taking the time to explain. I will remember and apply it next time. Best wishes,

To be fair, the deletion did not happen until some 48 minutes after the creation of the article, and it does IMHO qualify as a CSD A7 article. Nevertheless, I have restored it, at your request, in the hope that the author may improve it. --

You were absolutely right to have deleted it. Snek01 should have done more to stabilize it before walking. The only reason I contested it was because of the creator. He knows the malacology field well, so likely knows something about Schepman that's notable. Either he'll expand it and show his notability, or, maybe it'll turn out that Schepman was just a huge windbag, and I will A7 or PROD the stub myself. Many thanks. :)

And there's a ton more "See also"s that could be added. I have done the first 40 listings under "Schepman". He is a seminal figure and should be worth a

I also posted on some other pertinent places around Wikipedia. It would be good to get someone who really knew the subject. My seashell knowledge and collection is rather limited. As to the windbag, I think he is filled with

I think the creator
User:Snek01 is the best person for the job. As for the expansion, you did a fine job. Schepman, known to those he bored the hell out of as "Gassy Marinus", would have been proud. You know, there's actually an

It's better for sure. These paragraphs are still copy paste:
"The Alumni Association has..."
"M/s. Infosys Foundation has constructed ..."
"Cobalt Skies includes ...
"The annual Intra college Fest called “CHRYSALIS” ..."
The whole Notable alumni' section of people is copy paste.
Also, in case you didn't know, spaces are normally used with punctuation marks.
Instead of this:
I like bunnies(rabbits).They are not only cute,but friendly too.
Try this:
I like bunnies (rabbits). They are not only cute, but friendly too.
Im not really sure what you mean by that Anna. Ive changed the language as much as i can and its considerably different from the source and some of those paragraphs have been written entirely by me. Please make the changes as u feel right.

Thank you very much. Sorry to make a fuss. There are really only two big, serious things at Wikipedia: copyright matters and making claims about living people. Both can cause legal problems.
Anyway, I hope you continue to edit. Please don't be put off by this first experience. The best way to write content is to copy paste the source to editing software on your computer, and then write a new paragraph below it, using facts from it. Trying to just take a paragraph and change a few words is really risky, and ends up in more work in the end.
I will keep that in mind.Thanks for helping me out. One more doubt..If i want to upload a photo of a place or a person i dont actually own or have a copyright to, then how should i go about it? — Preceding

You must get permission. See
User:Anna Frodesiak/OTRS. That's pretty much self-explanatory. If the person sends in that email, then it's fine, otherwise the image isn't allowed. Sometimes, rarely, an image is from a site that says something like "All images at this website are public domain. Go ahead. Use them!" But, that is very, very rare. Usually, the bottom of the website will have "Copyright."

Kelly, I also made a suggestion on your user page. Apparently somebody didn't like your prior content (whatever that was). But If you put on the header that it is your userpage and not an encyclopedia article, I would think that objection would go away. But I am no
WP:administrator, so my opinion will not buy you immunity. It's like dealing with a representative of the
IRS, which reserves the right to tell you that you have no right to rely upon their advice. User pages are ordinarily deemed to be the 'property' of the user, and it is ordinarily left to them to edit and figure it out. Without interference from anybody. 7&6=thirteen (

I'm unclear exactly what you are challenging regarding Amanda Todd's date of birth. The date November 27, 1996, would not normally require a citation because it is multiply sourced and in particular by her family remembrance page.
However a contributor on the Talk Page has pointed out there is a conflict inherent in a Huffington Post blog he quotes and it is therefore incumbent on us to provide a citation. I provided her family remembrance page but you reverted that claiming it was not an RS. Well, essentially it's a self-publicised source ("blog"), actually a little more than that but let it pass, but not all blogs are autonatically not RS. For example
James Blunt's date of birth is cited from a blog.
But if we accept this challenge then we can't accept November as the month of her birth.
On the other hand if we brush aside the challenge with a "whack" of references to November as you do, then the challenge to the multiply sourced November 27 is also brushed away and we do not need a citation.
I intend to make a RfC and would appreciate your remarks as a start editor first. Prhaps you could confirm at the same time whether you are fundamentally opposed to giving her full date of birth. Why is adding the day of the month such a big deal? Are you seriously challenging the date November 27, 1996?
Cheers Anna. Tahnaks. I've now been sent an impecccable RS from
Find a Grave as I note on the Talk page and I do hope this stelles all this. I much admired your start, and indeed ErrantX's input. Best.

For
this. Regardless of anyone's view of the matter in question, regardless of the outcome of the MfD, regardless of whether or not you were successful in your request for Sally Season to remove the names from her userpage, no one can deny that your message to her was the friendliest, most diplomatic thing anyone could have said. I am thoroughly impressed with just how well you worded your message and how friendly you came across. I think if the US had had you on hand at the time, we could have probably avoided the
Cuban Missile Crisis. If only every Wikipedian had the attitude that you have when it comes to talking with others (and, I admit, I couldn't hope to be as diplomatic as you). – RichardBB08:41, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

I think misreading "Season" as "Susan" is an easy mistake to make. I should have also added "charming and amusing tangents" to that barnstar: that little skeleton joke had me chuckling at my desk -- as did your tangent about voodoo dolls on Sally's talk page. – RichardBB09:52, 2 November 2012 (UTC)
