The hardest thing is to start an article. The start version usually serves as a base for the rest of the evolution course of the article.

Gunnmap, User:Aaaarg, and Map recommendation[edit]

Hello, since user:Aaaarg seems abscent from Wikipedia, can you introduce a little this interesting application (Gunnmap) :

  1. Where to download ? -> answer/the link http://gunn.co.nz/map/GunnMap.air is empty.
  2. Is it easy to use ? -> answer, need it special skills, software, Linux/Window ?
  3. are the sources free and available ? -> Link: http://gunn.co.nz/map/ AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I just cry one hour when I discovered that I can't save the final product ; Available: I think Arthur was making this also to promote his website and father business. Don't care: I perfectly agree to support the business of people making a such amazing and generous job ! But I note that he will probably not share the code (for a such huge and hight quality work, I honestly can't request him to free his code). So, his current soft displaying to much parametres/possibilities, we (/I? O.o) will have to give him many feedback/request to get the option "Make gradiant map according to Wikipedia standard".

I finnally found myself more information than expected. The most important now seem to know : do you still have an GunnMap.air file ? User:Yug 08:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi everyone, sorry for my absence.

You can get the offline version from http://gunn.co.nz/map/GunnMap.air.zip The offline version allows you to save the maps in PNG and SVG form. Note that currently the generated SVGs can only be read by a small number of apps. I should be able to fix this in a later version. Last time I checked Wikimedia was able to handle them okay, however I would still recommend PNGs.

The app requires Adobe AIR. There are Mac OS and Windows versions which can be download from http://get.adobe.com/air/ . There is also a Linux alpha available at http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/air/ .

I'm currently planning another version with an improved interface and some new features, so feel free to give me suggestions or requests.

Hi, if you're going to tag places like Houtman Abrolhos or Pedra Branca, which were named by the Dutch but are nonetheless names of Portuguese origin, would you mind moving that template to a more accurate title? Hesperian 06:24, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, The Dutch didn't name Cape Leeuwin; they didn't even find it. A Dutch ship called the Leeuwin met with the south west of Australia, and thereafter that land was named "Leeuwin's Landt" by the Dutch. But it was Matthew Flinders who discovered the Cape itself, and named it Cape Leeuwin. This is only going to work if you figure out a precise definition, give the template a title and heading that conforms to that definition, and then only tag articles that meet your definition. Hesperian 06:34, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And I'm not at all certain about Dirk Hartog Island either. Hartog himself named it "Eendrachtlandt". I don't know who renamed it in Hartog's honour; it could have been Vlamingh (Dutch), Freycinet (French), Dampier (English) or even King (English). I doubt Nuytsland too. That's at least two, maybe four errors out of six for Western Australia alone. The more I look into this the more it bothers me. Please stop and have a good long think about it. Hesperian 06:43, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Chiming in, I agree with Hesperian. Your article Australian places with Dutch names‎ is probably a good place to expand on the etymology of these names, but a template without a lead and inclusion criteria has the potential to be misleading. As it reads now, the template is factually wrong as above and may need to be deleted. It could simply be replaced by a ==See also== entry. The article is good and useful by the way and could be expanded. Moondyne 08:21, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
yes I wasn't sure what to do about some of them, there were a few grey areas. There are a few where there is a feature which is named after the old general name for the area used by the Dutch, like Cape Leeuwin/Leeuwin's Landt as you mentioned. What if the template was limited to places named by the Dutch which are still in use, and the Portuguese names were noted? --Roke 09:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Another problem still remaining is some place names have little resemblance to the name given eg. Rottnest Island. Apparently, that is an Anglicisation of "Eyland Rottenest"—the Dutch did not give it the current in-use name. Moondyne 12:25, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Mulanggari, Australian Capital Territory. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mulanggari, Australian Capital Territory. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Non-free rationale for File:Melbourne cup Makybe Diva 2005.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Melbourne cup Makybe Diva 2005.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Map of the Territories of Dynasties in China – Thanks![edit]

The Mapmaker's Barnstar
For the animated Territories of Dynasties in China (gif), used in the article "History of China."


User:Roke, I believe you are the creator of the map listed above. If you ever find your way back here, I just wanted to thank you for it.

I have always thought how helpful maps of this sort would be, for every country. And voilà, here is a wonderful example, an excellent tool for learners of all levels. The map makes it easy to grasp the change over time as regions were consolidated into empires (for better or worse) under powerful warrior kings, and also to understand the fluidity of borders over time. If only all learning were made so pleasant and easy – thank you for taking the time to assemble and label all those maps! Peacedance (talk)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page, where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

File permission problem with File:Spui nyc subway map 1224px.png[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Spui nyc subway map 1224px.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

2019 US Banknote Contest[edit]

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.


If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
