A WikiCookie for you. Congratulations! - Mark 11:07, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I absolutely love the red cricket image of yours. Did you actually take this image, if so, where did you find this insect? Do you happen to know what species it is? Many thanks! – Clockwork Soul 17:38, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your reply, and for showing me all of your uploaded pictures. every one of them are quite stunning (Amguid crater, wow!).jpg. You and your husband obviously live a very active and interesting life!

I understand your feelings about barnstars in particular, and I agree that i's unfair that many very deserving people never get awarded a barnstar, which is one of the reasons I had for creating the Kindness Campaign. One of the foci we have there is to encourage people to notice when others make a major effort and recognize that effort appropriately, whether it be by a nice note on their talk page, or giving them a barnstar. At the moment, the emphasis is on the latter in the hopes that everybody that deserves one should get one, but it doesn't have to be that way. In the end, all I really want to do is help out morale a bit by making people feel appreciated (in fact, we would love if you dropped by if you had any suggestions we could use).

As for your WikiThanks, I'm not sure how that happened... one person gave me a big one as a big thanks, and other people just sort of picked up on it. As you can see, I've separated them out because they really aren't barnstars, and aren't meant to be. I've even been thinking of removing them from the page anyway because they're not entirely approproiate there, so I have no problem removing them.

Oh, there's one more thing I would to ask you: I've been considering joining the Mediation Committee, and I would like some advice from a veteran. Did you find it rewarding before you joined the board? What percentage of your WikiTime did you find spending on mediation? Many thanks. :)

Autofellatio

Hi, could you explain why the use of the word "copyrighted" means so much to you here in the context of autofellatio 2? The Berne convention is clear: all documents are copyrighted. All of the documents and pictures on Wikipedia and Wikimedia and everywhere else is copyrighted. Except those whose authors have been dead for over 100 years or something. So does "copyrighted" mean something more to you than the rights of an originator under the Bere convention? --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:44, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

By the way, it is funny but I found the insect pictures on this page quite challenging. I suppose I got a taste of how awful it is for some people to see a penis or a vagina. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:46, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Edit summary

Hello. Thought I would drop you another note to first let you know that User:Sannse is throwing your Wikimedia Board member credential around on my talk page in a way I would find embarrasing if I was you, especially since Sannse is complaining about something you never contacted me about. Second, given Sannse's repeated complaints, I thought I would explain that it is extra important to add an edit summary for controversial changes such as your edit to autofellatio: [1]. Wikipedia:Edit summary: "Even a short summary is better than no summary. Accurate summaries help people decide whether it is worthwhile for them to check a change." Thanks. Hyacinth 21:08, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

CP

I think some people have that usage in English, too, but I discourage it because it seems to imply falsely that other things are not under copyright.

I can see the beauty in your "Grillon1" picture, but it does still give me the heeby jeebies.

Your logos are beautiful. I think I'll use one of them on my user page. --Tony Sidaway|Talk

Five-and-a-half

(Regarding my edit)

LOL I had no idea... the five-and-a-half was completely a joke.

That took a while for me to understand... But no, I hadn't even heard of you before this. Funny how that works though! -Grick 06:36, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations, in any case. :) -Grick 06:59, Apr 2, 2005 (UTC)

Image deletion

Nearly nobody seems to like to discuss the current image deletion policy. See my messages here, here, here, here, and here. Only three persons have responded to my messages. What do I do to ensure nobody deletes not-so-bad-quality non-redundant non-copyvio images? -- Paddu 07:23, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hello Anthere. In that same vein, I left a question for you at Wikipedia_talk:Images_and_media_for_deletion/Unverified_orphans#Still_unverified_untaggued_orphans. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 20:44, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

Mediation committee

Hello, Anthere. I hope everything is well. I just wanted to give you a head-up that I took your advice and requested that I be allowed to join the Mediation Committee. Hopefully, they'll decide that they can use me. Many thanks again for the advice, Clockwork Soul 18:40, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC).

Thank you

Thank you for your support on Wikipedia:Mediation Committee. :) – Clockwork Soul 01:29, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Req. for your work on Sony v Universal

I think Sony Corp. v. Universal City Studios could make a great featured article. It doesn't quite meet the requirements yet, but it could with a little work. In light of the debates and cases about digital piracy and the obligations of hardware/software creators, the affirmation/modification/elimination of the Sony precedent is a key issue for the future of information technology.

Since you've worked on the article in the past, feel free to take another look to bring it "up to code" for a nomination. Feco 21:07, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thx

Thank you for your answer. This morning all is running quite well - let's touch wood. --Otets 13:31, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Deadminship

I'm beginning to get disillusioned with certain admins and their behavior toward "trolls." I may consider being renominated at a later date, but that's very unlikely - not until we have a coherent and fast method to remove administrators' sysop powers. Thanks, ugen 64 14:34, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It always gets strong opposition, mainly from the sysops themselves. ugen 64 19:38, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You're welcome, Anthere. I'm not in a position to judge, but I'm quite sure your articles on FR are at least as good as ours on EN, if not better:-) Take care. David Cannon 23:29, 1 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Happy Mother's Day

It is Mother's Day here in the United States, and as a notable mommy on Wikipedia, I just wanted to extend warm wishes toward you. Happy Mother's Day! – Clockwork Soul 14:26, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation: Aesthetic Realism

Hello, Anthere. :) I'm very pleased to be part of the Mediation Committee, and I will lend a hand at Aesthetic Realism. I will have some difficulty over the next few days, though: this is finals week, and I'm scheduled for exams through Wednesday. – Clockwork Soul 05:19, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

hallo Florence - thank you very much and hallo to beautiful France (we are originally from northern Germany) - UK and students 68.46.71.104 21:34, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

hallo Florence - my students exercised as oceanographers, taking code from my space preparing for a German demonstration project on virtual university, the idea of Erik Moeller (user:eloquence) of the Wikiversity for online e-teaching and e-research and I offered my cooperation as teacher and my interactive virtual microscope for a course in Meeresbiologie and Biologie der Antarktis - for that project it is important to have reproducible credentials for the teachers. We also plan to move educational content from expensive university servers to the free project (in Germany we don't even have tuition in the University) - help us - or not - I really don't care if I am sysop or not, I have that all behind me - we try to help the NeXT generation - best greetings - keep up with your fine work Uwe Kils

African editors

Please, do tell! I'm fairly active around here, so I'd like to know more... dewet|™ 09:30, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I'm in the same boat as Jeandré; would love to attend, but costs are prohibitive. I'd be willing to help in any other way, though. dewet|™ 17:05, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

From South Africa, can I help with information for your report? — Jeandré, 2005-06-24t20:18z

Re: User talk:Jeandré#Africa report.

I've read about Wikimania, but can't afford to go. I figured I might be able to help with any questions for your paper. I talked to a Wikipedian at a meetup for another subject, but haven't been able to organize any local Wikimedia meets. Re "wikimedia projects visibility in Africa", see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_on_TV_and_radio#2004 (2004-12-11). — Jeandré, 2005-06-26t12:26z

I did see that the cheche photo was of you when I was looking for the version of the page used in the television program writeup, but I'd forgotten about it when I linked to it above.

I'm not sure what you mean in your second paragraph. — Jeandré, 2005-06-26t21:37z

Hi Anthere; I haven't heard anything from you since our last conversation, and I just wanted to check if you've received my email? dewet|™ 07:24, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Request for not using Malayalam Numerals

In Malayalam Wikipedia now we are using Malayalam Numerals. This is make reading harder even for Malayalies living in Kerala.

Malayalam Numerals are now only for academic interest. [Sadly] it is no longer taught even in Malayalam medium schools.

You could verify this by looking Malayam Medium Physics text book (eg Prefaces/Contents pdf). Even Malayalam text book (eg Prefaces/Contents pdf) do not use Malayalam Numerals.

Or see the popular Malayalam paper at Malayala-Manorama at http://www.pressdisplay.com/

So I request we should switch back to Latin numerals at http://ml.wikipedia.org and http://ml.wiktionary.org/ (may be after an voting process)

Thanks in advance, -Bijee 20:58, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Sitenotice

I have removed the French version of the notice you added, since:

A sitenotice in French on the English Wikipedia does not make sense.
Signing a site notice does not make sense.

--cesarb 29 June 2005 11:52 (UTC)

I just noticed you reverted yourself almost at the same time, and your revert went first ☺. --cesarb 29 June 2005 11:55 (UTC)

I immediately reverted what I did. It was a mistake in pasting between windows. Of course it makes no sense. The problem is not all projects have a valid sitenotice right now, it requires to be sysop to edit it and it takes so much time to switch oneself sysop on each project one at a time, that I lazyly pasted the message in village pumps for sysops to change their site notice. I just messed between windows. I hope you will accept my words when I say it was a mistake. Anthere

It's obvious it was a mistake; otherwise, it wouldn't make sense ;-) --cesarb 29 June 2005 12:04 (UTC)

Sami costume image

Do you possibly know where the people in Image:Costumes Saami.jpg, or rather the costumes, come from? From the caps/hats I would guess somewhere in Finland, but that is only a guess. /Habj 29 June 2005 23:41 (UTC)

Thank you! I added some info to the image at Commons. /Habj 1 July 2005 18:19 (UTC)

Hi Anthere! Just to let you know that I've just voted - for you - and hope you make it:-) David Cannon 30 June 2005 13:55 (UTC)

Project journalism

Dear Anthere, I just wanted to let you know that some editors, including me, have undertaken a new project, at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Journalism. I know you yourself might not have time or interst in this, but I thought you'd be a good person to let know about it and perhaps you might mention it to others to help bring a more intnertional point of view and some good editorial talent. Hope you're having a good summer. My best, Calicocat 20:04, 11 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Congratulations!

Looking forward to another 2 years with you ;-). Seriously, well done, and I hope we can work together productively in the future.--Eloquence * 04:42, July 12, 2005 (UTC)

Congratulations and best wishes, Anthere -- you've done excellent work since long before I showed up roughly two years ago, and I'm glad to know you'll continue in your role on the Board. Have a pleasant summer, Jwrosenzweig 23:40, 12 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Your Wikimania paper

HI, I sent this as an email message, but it bounced back for some reason, so I'm copying it to your talk page:

I recently came across the abstract of your Wikimania paper on 'How to get Wikimedia into the developing world', and thought I would email you to see if you have a full text version available. I am writing my MA dissertation entitled 'Wikipedia: hypertext, the virtual community and the democratisation of knowledge' and would like to cite you in a section of the paper, as I am writing about how the Wikipedia is a community which constantly discusses itself.

If you're interested, I edit under the username Will Lakeman, and I have a sub-page detailing my research. I decided to make my ideas available for comment for other Wikipedia editors, and hope to makethe dissertation available at some point.

Thanks illWill 20:28, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Saint Anthere

Hi Anthere:

I'm very sorry to bother you, I know you're very busy; I've been pressured to drop off this note. As background, a while back I wrote a "Church of Wikipedia" parody, and it has apparently caught on with other editors: Wikipedia:Catholic Church of Wikipedia. They declared me the "WikiPope," and as such, I'm obliged come and interrupt your day so you'll know that you've been declared a saint. Also, you are hereby awarded this Saint's Barnstar. Please feel free to join in with the joke if you would like to do so and can find the time.

More importantly, always know in all sincerity, that we appreciate your efforts greatly. -- Essjay • Talk 07:23, August 18, 2005 (UTC)

Human Rights Servey on Wikipedia (The final post of I_sterbinski)

Dear all,

Wikipedia was recently a subject of intensive research of an huge international human right organization. A team of people from different nationalities and ages were acting on Wikipedia for 20 days, investigating previously noted anomalities of Wikipedia free editing and forming a final report, which (between the others similar reports) will later be a guide to all future moves of the organization concerning Wikipedia. Acting under an account of a real person, their privacy is to be held private. Therefore, very few private information will be revealed.

Also, this is a result of the lack of final possition of the organization concerning Wikipedia and human rights, which was still not formed.

The team's final post on Wikipedia, where they explain their actions can be found on the following addresses:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:I_sterbinski

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Macedonia#Human_Rights_Servey_on_Wikipedia_.28The_final_post_of_I_sterbinski.29

The team would like to thank to all the persons who took part in the correspondence with us.

We also want to appologise for keeping our identity secret for a longer period.

Best regards,

Aleksandar, Biljana, Asparuh, Christos, Valjon, Michael and Ana Luiza
