Say, can I get you to do two things? One, tag definitely-PD stamps like Image:Sherwin.jpg with ((PD-stamp)) and it will eventually get moved to commons (empire stamps are all crown copyright, so safely PD after 50 years), and categorize the less-certainly-PD stamps like Image:Duloz9.jpg into Category:Postage stamp images so we don't lose track of them. Stan (talk) 03:21, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
I have created a new template- Template:Stamp-PD-US-1923-abroad for stamps issued abroad before 1923 that are PD in the US. I did this because someone created Category:Images published abroad that are in the public domain in the United States which contains mostly 19th century photographs, and I wanted to separate out the pre-1923 stamps from the other images in that category. I also simultaneously created a new category Category:Stamp images published abroad that are in the public domain in the United States and included that in the template. I then made that a subcategory of Category:Postage stamp images because that was getting to be a large group of images. This eliminates the need to categorize such pre 1923 stamps with Category:Postage stamp images. Finally, I made Category:Stamp images published abroad that are in the public domain in the United States a subcategory of Category:Images published abroad that are in the public domain in the United States. If there are other things that need to be fixed, please let me know. Ecphora (talk) 14:33, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out that deletion! I almost certainly would have missed it otherwise.
My knowledge of Chinese characters is scant, but I can assure you that that is the correct place. Some of the initial characters are blocked out by trees on the right-hand side of the image, so it could be that whatever the anon IP address read was incomplete. I left a note on their talk page saying that in future that they should not simply delete something outright, but to at least put a "dubious" tag on it so that the issue can be clarified.
And just out of interest's sake, you might be interested in some of the other dino pics I shot while at that museum, which can be seen here: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Captmondo/gallery#Beijing_Museum_of_Natural_History_.28May_2008.29

A title of WikiProject Philately: Draft article for the American Philatelist was a namespace violation. I have moved the article to User:Ecphora/sandbox which is a perfectly good place for it.

The Hawaiian Missionaries were issued by the Kingdom of Hawaii, which wasn't a territory of the United States until at least 42 years later. It was an independent kingdom, recognized as such by England and France until its overthrow in 1893. A Provisional Government was then formed "to rule until annexation by the United States."Fconaway (talk) 04:05, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Sovereignty is a side issue, of course. However unjust the takeover of Hawaii was, it's unlikely that a small island nation such as Hawaii or Puerto Rico could have defied imperial strategy or Realpolitik at the end of the Nineteenth Century. The McKinley Tariff spelled doom for Hawaiian independence.
My real concern is that the postal history of Hawaii is getting lost in the shuffle. We have no article on that subject, although some of it is squeezed into the Hawaiian Missionaries article. The word "Hawaii" doesn't appear anywhere in the article on Postage stamps and postal history of the United States. "Kingdom of Hawaii" does not appear in the list of stamp issuing entities, although some 97 stamps were issued according to Gibbons. Hawaii was not a protectorate or territory until much later.

Thanks for your follow-up on my desperate and clueless Conch edit! I assume you're satisfied, as i am, that your fixes solved all my missteps. I have a section User:Jerzy#The Art of the Stub, and this has me thinking about User:Jerzy#My Most Successful Clueless Edits ... tho i suspect that i'm unaware of most of those.... Pleased to have crossed edits with you.
--Jerzy•t 16:04, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
The Conch article originally had the following sentence:
Some editor apparently didn't understand the word "extant" and changed it to "extinct" so the sentence read:
This, of course, is meaningless. Jerzy came along and tried to make sense of it and surmised that what was meant was that 65 species recently went extinct, which was a reasonable guess. He modified the sentence to read:
Unfortunately, this was incorrect and injected new confusion. Some searching on Google focusing on the "65 species" reference led to articles stating that 65 species of Strombidae are living. Some searching in the article's history then led to the discovery that "extinct" had originally read "extant". More authoritative articles indicated about 74 species are living. The sentence now reads:
It's just one of the basic rules of grammar. Don't worry about it, most people aren't very proficient at semicolon use since they're not very common these days. I had an English teacher in an honors-level college class tell us to not even bother with them since almost no one uses them properly anymore, lol.
But in case you're curious, here's the breakdown. An independent clause can be a full, stand-alone sentence by itself. A dependent clause cannot, and must be used in association with an independent clause. A semicolon can be used to join two independent clauses (though they can also be written as separate sentences), but a comma is used to join an independent clause and a dependent clause. So basically, if you can split it up into two sentences, you can use a semicolon. If you can't, use a comma instead. I can give you a few examples if you'd like, but I don't want to get all patronizing if you get it now, or figure that my teacher was right and that semicolons aren't worth the hassle, lol. --Icarus (Hi!) 02:15, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Mexico C195.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Hello there Ecphora! I noticed you reverted my edit regarding the "siphon" in the S. alatus image caption in the Strombus article. I feel some clarification on the subject is necessary. Though it may seem similar in shape to the siphons commonly observed in other gastropods (e. g. Volutidae), the Strombidae present an extensible snout (and this is indeed the correct anatomical term), which contains their radula. This structure, differently from a siphon, is not an extension of the animal's mantle, but an actual part of their head-foot. Strombidae do possess a siphon, an independant structure which is usually quite inconspicuous and directly associated with the mantle. I'm absolutely certain that the structure which may be observed in the S. alatus image in the article is the snout. For a very detailed and richly illustrated anatomical study of strombid gastropods, please see this reference: Simone (2005): Comparative Morphological study of representatives of the three families of Stromboidea and the Xenophoroidea (Mollusca, Caenogastropoda), with an assessment of their phylogeny --Daniel Cavallari (talk) 03:38, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

To start with, WP:TRIVIA is a guideline. You've only cited an essay. Further, you might actually try reading the essay you've cited as a defense for the restoration of that content: Wikipedia:"In_popular_culture"_content#Good_and_bad_popular_culture_references. More specifically:
When trying to decide if a pop culture reference is appropriate to an article, ask yourself the following:
If you can't answer "yes" to at least one of these, you're just adding trivia. Get all three and you're possibly adding valuable content.
Can you answer yes to all 3 of those for each and every item you restored? I don't think so. In fact all but one are unsourced and that's only to a primary source. There is also no evidence of #3 in any of those that you restored since they're all unsourced, same with #1. So unless you can even begin to answer those 3 questions on an individual basis and provide citations they don't belong in the article. These are nothing more than name-drops of the subject. wikipedia is not a list of every time a subject has been name-dropped in a book, TV, or song.--Crossmr (talk) 07:38, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
You first removed the link from the section and said it had "nothing to do with Free franks", which I found sort of amazing as the link had numerous examples and brief commentary on the items. After restoring the link and pointing out that it had much to do with Free franks, you reassert the claim, no explanation, and remark that I should take some advice sometime. The remark was uncalled for and certainly inappropriate as I often take advice. If there is a real issue here, kindly bring it to my attention. Now here's some advice.

A tag has been placed on File:Burelage.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a non-free file with a clearly invalid licensing tag; or it otherwise fails some part of the non-free content criteria. If you can find a valid tag that expresses why the file can be used under the fair use guidelines, please replace the current tag with that tag. If no such tag exists, please add the ((non-free fair use in|article name that the file is used in)) tag, along with a brief explanation of why this constitutes fair use of the file. If the file has been deleted, you can re-upload it, but please ensure you place the correct tag on it.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay.

Hey bunkie. Seriously, I am sick of Wikipedians looting my research, posting it without ANY citation and stealing my web-traffic. That list is formatted identically to my discography but is much newer than my list. It can therefore be easily inferred that it was stolen from me.

Last October User:Jax 0677 started this template Template:Postage stamps of the United States (plus some others one of which has already been deleted) but, I think mainly due to his lack of philatelic knowledge and how to construct complex templates, it remains a real mess with terrible structure and essentially useless with links just thrown around any old way.

I was going through this article and see you added the reference "Source" but with no actual source. Did you have a source for this statement or were you actually intending to just add a ((citation needed)) template because you did not have one? Do we even know where this story came from. I'll now turn it into a cn request. ww2censor (talk) 10:32, 19 August 2019 (UTC)

Back in 2008 with this edit you added the term splits to the lede with the reference "L. N. Williams, Fundamentals of Philately". I don't have that book but do have The International Encyclopædic Dictionary of Philately where the term does not appear and an extensive online search does not verify the term either. Are you certain this term is in the reference given and if so is it possible to refine the citation with a full citation template providing the page number too? I know it was a long time ago but non the less I personally question the use of this term without better verification. ww2censor (talk) 10:24, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
Yes. Fundamentals of Philately, p. 19, discusses bisects "and other divisions such as quarters and eights." It then states "The comprehensive term is 'splits'." If you search "splits" in the American Philatelic Research Library online catalog, there are about a dozen articles with the word in their titles. I will add the page reference.

The article Art Deco stamps has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No usage of secondary sources that demonstrate Art Deco stamps themselves are a subject of significant commentary beyond stamps of the contemporary time period, etc.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated))
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated))
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs talk 18:41, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Art Deco stamps until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

I had a look at the article you mentioned but without registering I cannot see the whole article. However, on a first glance of what is visible I get the impression this is not written in an encyclopaedic style to pass muster here. You could always post it as a draft and see how it is reviewed but I doubt the topic itself is notable enough. Thanks though for your work on the art deco stamps article. ww2censor (talk) 16:44, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
((Di-replaceable non-free use disputed|<your reason>))
below the original replaceable non-free use template, replacing <your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
