Hello, my name is Michael Tsikerdekis[1][2], currently involved as a student in full time academic research at Masaryk University. I am writing to you to kindly invite you to participate in an online survey about interface and online collaboration on Wikipedia. The survey has been reviewed and approved by the Wikimedia Foundation Research Committee.
I am contacting you because you were randomly selected from a list of active editors. The survey should take about 7 to 10 minutes to complete, and it is very straightforward.
Wikipedia is an open project by nature. Let’s create new knowledge for everyone! :-)
To take part in the survey please follow the link: tsikerdekis.wuwcorp.com/pr/survey/?user=36550209 (HTTPS).
Best Regards, --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 12:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
PS: The results from the research will become available online for everyone and will be published in an open access journal.
UPDATE: This is the second and final notification for participating in this study. Your help is essential for having concrete results and knowledge that we all can share. I would like to thank you for your time and as always for any questions, comments or ideas do not hesitate to contact me. PS: As a thank you for your efforts and participation in Wikipedia Research you will receive a Research Participation Barnstar after the end of the study. --Michael Tsikerdekis (talk) 19:23, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
Meant to say thanks for updating that subpage - I've got the dates for the ((Burmese elections)) and will hopefully finish them off today. Number 57 09:24, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
I think you need to explain why the normal conventions concerning "arms of sovereignty" or "arms of dominion" would not apply (especially since Bokassa was so closely imitating all things connected with traditional European royalty) -- though "arms of sovereignty" actually appear outside Europe (e.g. Japan). AnonMoos (talk) 22:22, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
Just a quick question - you noted there were elections every 3 years after 1862 - if this is the case, there was an election in 1916, and then the first one we have an article for was only two years later in 1918? Just want to be sure before I add the dates to the template. Cheers, Number 57 20:29, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
Hallo Antemister. This map[3] needs some changes: The countries whit more than one capital at present (in red), need to add Swaziland. In the countries whit more than one capital in the past (in light red) need to add China, Germany and Libya, and would have to change Philippines and the former Serbia and Montenegro. Thanks and regards. MauriManya (talk) 13:51, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi!
My name is Victor and I'm a storyteller with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. I'm chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who make and use Wikipedia have so much to share.
I'd very much like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project, or if you know anyone with whom I should speak.
Thank you for your time,
Victor Grigas

Sorry I haven't been around much lately - have some personal issues to deal with at the moment, so not really able to give this my full attention. I've seen that you've been doing a lot of work though - very impressive. I hope I'll be able to start again properly in a couple of weeks' time - apologies for the delay. Is there somewhere where I can access all the historic SYBs? Number 57 13:41, 6 May 2012 (UTC)

Here's the second batch of SYB files: [4]. See Italy for 1925 Libya. I didn't see any maps listed for 1935 and I got a server error when I tried to load the 1927 Arabia map. GabrielF (talk) 04:04, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Is there any chance you could provide a translation of the changes proposed to articles 66 and 112 of the constitution (text here)?

Dear Antemister, unfortunately I will not be of much help on the subject of the old Natal Legislature.
I wish I knew more of this but my areas of historical knowledge are only the figures and institutions of the old Cape liberal tradition. I am sure that there are histories and maybe even the full texts archived online on the Natal parliament, but I would not be confident enough of my knowledge to write on the topic. Abu Shawka (talk) 07:23, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Hi Antemister,
I've emailed you a link to the South Arabia map. I'm happy to report that Palgrave did upload it although they never replied to my email about the issue. I'll try to get the rest of the SYB stuff to you this week.

Hi Antemister, I think there are two problems with the CAA logo User:MDragunov uploaded on your request. First, there is no proper source given. Where exactly did you copy this image from? The link you gave is not sufficient to solve that question, so please add the correct one. Then, here you will find a discussion about which color the official CAA logo had. In my opinion, there is no reference that it was dark blue (if you have a deeper insight, please comment on that matter), so that it might look like a good idea to keep the neutral black one. Best regards --FoxyOrange (talk) 11:04, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

I'm pretty new to this so I couldn't find any email to you. Please explain for me how to find it and in some way send me the file and I will look at it before I tell you if I can do it, thanks. Goran tek-en (talk) 19:14, 29 November 2013 (UTC)
Besides that, WP lacks a depiction of the royal flag. The only difference between the national flags is the fact the the fringe covers also the left sife.--Antemister (talk) 12:06, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
and then you have to send me the high resolution you have and I will look at it. --Goran tek-en (talk) 12:19, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Sent you an eMail.--Antemister (talk) 12:37, 8 December 2013 (UTC)
Really excellent drawing of the fringe! Concerning the structures inside: The 1877 and the royal flag have partly different ones than the 1914 one, but here, both ones show the 1914 variants. This is some thing that should be corrected, too.--Antemister (talk) 22:59, 16 December 2013 (UTC)
Well done! The main problem of the flags were the fringes, but also the interior was very accurate, as the uploader did not have a proper source. Now it looks much better. At the moment, I see only two slight differences between the source and your version: 1) the tructure inside the wheel, and the color of the green border inside the fringe, which should have the same color shade as the green structures.--Antemister (talk) 23:00, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

I have made changed to the interior of 1914-1962 also as it didn't look like the material you sent me.
I do need you to send me the link from where the pdf came so I can add that to the images. --Goran tek-en (talk) 18:54, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
Well done, now there are really accurate vector files of these images! No, I cannot send you a link. I received that article from Mr. Fabretto after a direct request. Add as source:
Then please replace the CC-license template by ((PD-India)), as the files are more than 60 years. Two minor issues remain: 1) In case it is possible, use black instead of grey for the wheel and the structure, as in the source. 2) For the Royal and the 1877 flag, one spoke ist missing in the wheel.--Antemister (talk) 22:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)
OK, black is the standard color for contours. Black seems to be to dark for the little structures, but appriote for the wheel. In the early versions, its substructure was rather invisible for if you did not zoom in (now the situation is at least improved). But I am not an expert for that issue. In any case, you should use the same color as in File:Flag of Sikkim monarchy.svg, looks better in a gallery.--Antemister (talk) 13:14, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
No, it's not about "another color scheme". Using grey for the contours of the structures is a good idea, do not change that. But I assume that if using black as contours of the wheel, the visibility of its structure will be improved (assume that, as I have not seen it). But if you want to keep grey here, you should also change the countours in File:Flag of Sikkim monarchy.svg to grey. In case of such an complicated image, it is hard to know any details in advance. One has to see draft versions, and then suggest changes to them. In fact, you do not need to change any color sheme, but only the color of contours.--Antemister (talk) 18:19, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
The Vexilla Italica does have also an image of this flag, which shows a different wheel.--Antemister (talk) 13:40, 22 December 2013 (UTC)
Antemister (talk | contribs) . .
Vexilla Italica is the journal were the article I sent you was published. Once again you've drawn a very good rendition of the image, upload it. The problem is here the fact that you cannot draw a perfect image, as the article also does have only reconstructions. But you have made what was possible from that circumstances. From my point of view, the task is completed - hope I can come once again to you if I have such a request.--Antemister (talk) 21:26, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi Antemister! I'll be free in a few days from now so i'll try to see if i can translate the book's sections for you, however i cannot guarantee that i can because i have several new articles, some of which i created, which are lining up for me to complete :P But if i can't translate for you, i'll show you some other Vietnamese English wiki editors that can translate for you.

Hi Antemister. Thank you for your correction in the Russian Wikipedia (the Khmer Rouge flag image), but in fact the insertion of a new image with the previous caption retained created a mismatch between the image and the caption, so I had to correct it once I noticed. The black-red flag with a white cross that you removed was known to be used once and only once, and namely on the footage of Khmer Rouge troups entering Phnom Penh in April 1975, while there are no other known examples of its use - this is exactly what the caption in Russian said. I saw comments that the flag actually belonged not to Khmer Rouge but to a different faction that was shortly eliminated by them (http://the-burningissue.blogspot.ca/2012/02/mankhmer-rouge-who-killed-one-million.html). --Dmitri Lytov (talk) 17:40, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
Hello Antemister. I have finally got round to registering as a reader at the British Library, and visited for the first time today (I recently started a job near the Library, so I can go after work quite easily). I have updated the Bahamas section of our previous work (now at Wikipedia:WikiProject Elections and Referendums/Elections and referendums), and will try and go through the list and get the books you highlighted as potential sources. If you have any others you want me to look at, add the to the page. Cheers, Number 57 20:29, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the opportunity to work on the DPRK military flags. When pulling up a high-resolution source it appears we have the incorrect characters for the bottom of the flag, as sourced from Flags of the World. It currently reads:
I see the first two characters in the third grouping are not the same, and should instead be:
Google Translate tells me the first version reads "for the freedom and liberation of the people", whereas the proposed version changes that to "for the freedom and happiness of the people." Unfortunately, the flags are hung in such a way to obscure the first half of the phrase, and I am unable to confirm the rest. I will update the images accordingly.
Also, FotW states the naval ensign should have a fouled anchor (anchor with entwined rope) atop the emblem, but the picture does not indicate this clearly. An alternate source (possibly from the same media event?) indicates there is indeed a fouled anchor. The text at the top of the flag also appears to be blue-colored in this picture, so I'll update the naval ensign image.
