Dear colleague, I have now two new renditions of the Austrian State flag with eagle. The so-called heraldic and the so-called artistic version - both are used in Austria due to conflicting interpretations of the Coat of Arms of Austria by two competing flag factories. The one that sells the "artistic" or "grey" version is a bit cheaper and therefore wins more tenders. The other one produces the heraldically correct flag with the truly black eagle for the army and other agencies.
In both cases THE TONGUE of the eagle must be shown just below the red stripe in the WHITE field. This, unfortunately, is not the case in the Wikipedia. I would be very glad if you could take note of this situation and put the correct svg version(s) into Wikipedia. They can be downloaded from
http://oktogon.at/laender/laender.htm
Please be so kind and let me have your opinion on that - I would be very obliged if this long lasting problem could be finally solved

You're probably aware of this already, but macha is not a mispelling. It's actually the Hepburn version of the Japanese word (まっちゃ in hiragana). David.Monniaux 09:58, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I can see why you changed the redirect, but did you look at the brief article which was originally there? certainly, the term "natural religion" isn't normally used in the context of natural theology. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 12:12, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Well, the term "natural religion" seems to have been invented by the creator of the article (a personal essay or original research), which is why I made it a redirect. My worry is that you've retrieved some of the original research for the disambiguation. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:24, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
No — natural theology claims that one can come to know supernatural truths through reason, while this person is talking about a non-supernaturalist religion. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:32, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
That flag is nowhere to be seen in the Middle East, because nobody calls themselves "Aramean". That flag has not been adopted by anybody, nor the Syriac Orthodox Church. It is only flyed by some Syriac Orthodox members in Sweden and Germany. Chaldean 16:59, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
If you use this tag, the image will not get deleted. Use it in conjunction with ((Db-noncom)) to get rid of the offending flag if it was uploaded after May 19, 2005, and there is no fair use assertion. Jesse Viviano 06:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi, just wanted to say thanks for your work on Korea-related articles (most recently tidying and tagging various cuisine-related articles). We'd be delighted if you'd care to join us at Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea, where we've just been getting ready to start a "Cuisine Working Group," and maybe sometime soon a linguistics working group too. In any event, happy editing! Hope to see you around. Cheers, -- Visviva 13:49, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks a lot for your photo of Jang Yeong Sil's statue! I went through a lot of troubles & failed. (Wikimachine 23:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC))
Hi Himarasam, could you put on the fair use tag then? I can't seem to find it & I'm not quite sure how the justification works. But I'm glad that you're interested in having as many pics as possible. That's my goal too. Only reason why I put it on deletion process was that, well, I was reminded of its unknown copyright status & also I thought that in order to put it onto Wikipedia Commons it had to be perfect in terms of copyright data. (Wikimachine 04:27, 17 November 2006 (UTC))
As I did in Ahn Eaktae, I'm in process of hand-drawing Kim Okgyun in order to avoid copyright infringement. Could you delay the transfer to Wikipedia Commons for a sec? How about 2 days? Thanks. (Wikimachine 04:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC))
Hi there! I honestly don't remember uploading this image, though I've uploaded so many that I cannot be sure. At any rate, I have no objections if you remove it. Cheers! David Cannon 08:37, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Absolutely. Permission's granted. If you want me to add a copyright message on the image's page, just let me know what the appropriate wiki code is. (I don't hang around here as much as I used to... and have lost track of what tags to add to images for appropriate usage rights!) - MykReeve T·C 12:26, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
As I see that you are very involved with the graphic side of Wikipedia, perhaps you would be able and willing to advise me on how to transfer imgages from the Indonesian Wikipedia to the English one. Specifically, I have recently created a page for Poncke Princen, the former Dutch colonial soldier who went over to the Indonesian rebels in 1949, and I would like to put there his picture from the Indonesian page [1]. So far, I did not suceed, and would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks! Adam keller 17:22, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
I would argue that it is instead a structured list, and think it (and other flag galleries like it) belong in Wikipedia, not in the Commons. Granted, this would be a much stronger article if more city flags had articles written for them, but I think having lists of flags like this actually encourages the writing of such articles. But I think removing such graphical lists from Wikipedia would actually result in the loss of a valuable information resource, representing considerable collective editorial effort. --ScottMainwaring 15:15, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Himasaram-
Hello. My name is Nic Hill and I'm directing a documentary film about Wikipedia. I am following Jimmy Wales around the world and documenting the movement. I'm traveling to India with Jimmy in late February but I'll be in Seoul from feb 17th to feb 19th. I see you are living is Seoul. I was wondering if you would be interested in meeting up when we come to town? or if you know any Korean Wikipedians who might be interested... Any language is ok. So far we have filmed at Wikimania 2006, Tokyo, and Hong Kong.
Please take a look at our movie trailer... http://www.underdogpictures.com/wikidoc/wikienter.htm
Thank you for your time. Please contact me if you are interested in being a part of this documentary film.

Hello! I have written some comments at the talk page to an article which you have previously seen and edited; would you like to add to them somewhat? In my view the article is above that of a Start class; we will need a couple of opinions in addition to mine own to get it there. See what you think; here is the talk page - comments would be great. Thanks! - D-Katana 15:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Look, I no longer give a damn about images I import. You want to delete them, then go right ahead! Dean Thomas
Hi Himasaram - I'm a little perplexed as to why you added a "no source" template to Image:NZflag_proposal-dignan.gif. I uploaded a copy of this flag at the request of another editor, and gave it the standard gfdl-self template to indicate that I had created the image myself. I am James Dignan, the designer of this flag. I don't think Wikipedia needs to worry too much about copyright on this one. Grutness...wha? 09:55, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
Dear Himasaram, this upcoming Wikidocmentary film article is currently under discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review on today, because a recent decision to retain it on Wikipedia has been appealed and it is in progress in reaching an ultimate consensus. You may wish to support for restoration by contributing it to the review. Since you had involved into it in regards to this upcoming Wikidocumentary film by Nic Hill, so please do help out and try not to hesitate to voice out your advocated opinion! Otherwise without you commenting about it, this article would never had existed. Pole Heinz Tower 14:49, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cohesion, I noticed that you removed the ((NowCommons)) tag from Gallery of flags with animals; now, how do you suggest we should notify readers/editors that an article has been transwikied to Commons? Regards, Himasaram 02:54, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
I think I've gotten Image:Ryukyu Islands flag 1875-1879 cs.svg to render correctly now. Thanks for letting me know about the issue! -Nameneko 06:04, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Your restoration of the flag icons to this article precipitated another edit war about the applicability of the Northern Ireland flag which, as you may know, has no official status. I've removed them again and I am asking you not to restore them. More generally, this sort of use of flag icons seems to add no encyclopedic value but merely to be a decoration, and a divisive and inaccurate sort of decoration at that. See WP:FLAGCRUFT for an attempt to rationalise how we use flags in Wikipedia. Best wishes, --John 19:58, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
...and it's an essay I happen to agree with. :) I personally can't stand those little flag icons, I think they are needless clutter and look kind of amateurish. (There are exceptions, for example I have no problem with using flags to denote the combatants in a military event infobox.) But in the case of biography infoboxes, I think they're unnecessary. K. Lásztocska Review me? 13:48, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Bäste Himasaram! Thanks so much for creating the file Flag_of_Latvian_SSR_1919.svg! However, in order to make it more historically accurate, I'd request that you revise it the read "LSPR" or "LZPR" in the top corner. The image by Mark Sensen on http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/su-lv_h.html is based on an article in English that transliterates "ССРЛ" as the initials of "Sotsialisticheskaia sovetskatia respublika Latvii", i.e. the Russian translation of "LSPR" and "Latwijas Socialistiska (sometimes also spelt at this time: Zocialistiska) Padomju Republika" from article 30 of the original Latvian version of the constitution. Compare the flag photos further down on this same website, or the image at http://www.worldstatesmen.org/Latvia.htm . If you could make this relatively simple amendment, I'd be very pleased. Also, you knew of anyone willing to make an SVG of the state emblem depicted at http://www.crwflags.com/fotw/flags/su-lv_h.html (also described in art. 30 of the LSPR constitution), that would be greatly appreciated as well! — Zalktis 16:49, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Himansaram
I noticed your edit to the First Schleswig War article describing the blue-white-red flag of Schleswig-Holstein as not contemporary. AFAIK, the same tricolour was used by the secessionist administration during the 1848-50 war. See also: [2] (section: Civil flag / Landesflagge). I also heard it referred to as such when Queen Margrethe visited Schleswig many years ago, but if you know of any other flag used by this administration, I'm all ears. Btw, have you checked the Prussian flag? It was the only image I could find that matched the painting shown on Battle of Jasmund, but it doesn't seem to be supported by ((Country data Prussia)). Happy editing. Valentinian T / C 07:26, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Hi Himasram, you may have noticed my recent work on the country data templates, using a new documentation system. I'd appreciate any comments you have, since you are currently frequently working on those templates. Thanks, Andrwsc 23:08, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Rule 48.3 PCT currently only mentions eight languages of publication. To my understanding adding Portuguese and Korean is only a proposal. Am I wrong? Thanks. --Edcolins 14:14, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your contribution on Korean related article. However, when you create articles, you don't provide sources for its validity such as Mudo. If you don't provide any source, it doesn't merit its existence. please add information or citation if you think it should be in Wikipeia. Thanks--Appletrees (talk) 21:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading Image:Barbro Holmberg.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 20:58, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Prince George BC-flag.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:21, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I saw your ID on WikiProject as well as your edits to the SK Broadband page so I thought you might be interested in a debate at Template Talk on the topic of merging Infobox Korean Film into the generic Infobox Film category, deleting the Hangul/hanja/RR/MR information, or keeping it separate (as it currently is). I would appreciate it if you to contribute your thoughts or at least glance over it. The more people looking/thinking about it will give us better ideas as to what should be decided. Thank you. ₪RicknAsia₪ 08:47, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 04:49, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

WP:ONEOTHER DAB, adequately handled by hatnote at Don de Dieu.
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.
