Might as well, indeed. I think I didn't fully realize these were tables before >__> Circeus (talk) 00:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Medals Table
Hello Chris. It's been a while. I see that you ranked the countries by total medals rather than by golds. No problems. I'm just switching no. 15 and 16 (if I can remember how). Someone added 1938 for Estonia. Probably correct, I missed that one. Stavol2 (talk) 15:08, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! (Vandal catching)
Thank you for catching the vandalism of the William Lyman Underwood page so quickly! I only check every week or so since the two pages I watch are rather obscure imho. --Wmjames (talk) 22:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
1989 Ski Comment
Perhaps you can check the language. I didn't find any better english word than jump....Stavol2 (talk) 22:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
For spotting the update needed on my user page and updating it. :-)) Mjroots (talk) 06:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Ribbons
Well, you don't ask much, do you? Just kidding - I'll try to have the ribbons done later tonight or tomorrow. I'll post on your talk page when they're ready for use. Hersfold (t/a/c) 17:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- No problem, actually I've just finished them. I do have one question, though - the WikiSmile isn't really an award, so I'm not really sure if it needs a ribbon. I'm more than happy to design one if you wish, it'll probably be a yellow-black striped thing, I just wanted to point that out.
- As for the rest, here are the links, which will be blue shortly - I just have to upload the lot. Since it fit with the general DYK theme, I also designed a ribbon for the DYK Medal, in case you're interested. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:39, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, they're all uploaded - if the links aren't blue yet, they will be in a few minutes; the server appears to be a tad slow today. Did you want a ribbon for the WikiSmile? Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:48, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks much - it's a pleasure to do this, and I'm honored that you requested my services. Hersfold (t/a/c) 21:59, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks

Thanks for your help
Thanks for your help on the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships reversion on the medal table. There is an IP user from Russia who is trying to change the Soviet Union and merge it with Russia though they do not seem to understand. Again, thanks. Chris (talk) 14:13, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- You're most welcome. Actually, I reverted it because I saw User:Sceptre revert the same editors edit a few minutes before I made my revert. But I'm glad I could help. I'm sure you will see me around, I live to fight vandalism. Steve Crossin (talk) 14:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the note, Chris! A friend of mine got me interested in Palau, I'm fascinated by his seeming ability to reach people, even across lines that are usually so politicized. Hopefully I'll have the chance to hear him speak this summer. It's a shame about your photo, I actually liked the fact that it showed the JT (gives a sense of the scale of the event), but I guess it would be tough to establish whether the ministry claims copyright over that. (Seems very unlikely, but possible I suppose.) Anyway, thanks for the note, glad somebody noticed the article! -Pete (talk) 01:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
Copyright problems with Image:Luis Palau - Conyers.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Luis Palau - Conyers.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Chris (talk) 22:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Chris
- Unfortunately, I would agree that it is a copyright violation. The problem is not that you didn't license it properly. The problem is that you took a picture of the image on the screen. The jumbotron is broadcasting an image of the proceedings. That broadcast presumably would be copyrighted (by default even if not stated). So you have made a derivative of their broadcast. I assume that they never gave you license to make a derivative of their work, so you technically would be making a copyright violation of their work. If I were you, I would remove the image from the article and have it speedy deleted as the author (add {{db-author}} to the image). I wish that I could tell you something different so we could keep the image!
- Thanks for you help on the Kulwicki GA. I'm glad you see some fruits from your labor! Royalbroil 23:49, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- I love Natalie Grant's song "Held", especially the meaning behind it. Too bad you can't upload her image here from this same reason. Fortunately there's already a very good image. Royalbroil 03:46, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
1989 FIS Ski comment
Chris. The last part of this remark indicates that not all competitors made the first jump. If so, the whole competition would have been cancelled. May I suggest this correction: "The second round of jumping was cancelled to strong winds, so the results were taken only from the first round." Perhaps it seems strange that I wish to correct something that I asked you to correct, but the meaning got a bit confusing. Hope you'll agree. Thank you.Stavol2 (talk) 07:31, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Oswego Lake
You recently made this edit on Oswego Lake. Perhaps you're thinking the caption is intended to say when the photo was taken? I'm pretty sure it is meant to say when Lakewood Bay and Oswego Lake were connected. —EncMstr 23:50, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: Thanks for the revert
No problem. It's what anti-vandal tools are for, after all. Thanks for the feedback! Anturiaethwr (talk) 16:49, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
thanks for the welcome chris
Thanks for the welcome chris. I hope to be here awhile. Wsvlqc (talk) 03:09, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Skeleton 48
Both are listed in alternative sources. Wudarski lists both [1] and Kuranda is also listed by the Austrian Olympic committee [2]. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 13:29, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Do you have a ref that Kuranda and Fischbacher did not start? All listed refs show them as DNF. Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 15:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I do not know, but when the given refs show DNF, maybe it is better to write in the articles that they DNF and not DNS. The main reason why I would prefer this is, that it is dangerous to write DNS - so these articles can be deleted very easily... Kind regards Doma-w (talk) 15:45, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists.
