Uusimaa

Hi Thorri, I've reverted your edits to Uusimaa. What exactly were you trying to do with it? - ulayiti (talk) 20:39, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, I thought that we should have the article about Uusimaa under the name Uusimaa, not Uusimaa (region), and that the disambiguation page should be, appropriately, Uusimaa (disambiguation). I have a special interest on this subject because I live in Uusimaa. So it's a native's thing.

But, alas, I didn't have the time to do the article. The Finnish version of the article is under the name Uusimaa and I don't know who the heck decided to make Uusimaa as the disambiguation page, since there is only one Uusimaa (!). It doesn't make sense! Besides, the historical province is called Nylandia.

I hope I made my point clear to you. --Thorri 11:00 10 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Reverting vandalism

When you see a page has been vandalized, you can use the page history to revert to an earlier revision. See Misplaced Pages:Revert for details on how to do it. --cesarb 17:46, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

John Lesesne DeWitt

OK, you tagged my bio on John Lesesne DeWitt, but you did not leave any specifics on what you wanted cleaned up. If you are going to tag articles, you should be diligent enough to say what it is that needs fixing.

Uusimaa

Joo toi Uusimaa kuuluu kyl Misplaced Pages:Requested movesiin eikä tonne afd:hen. Ainakin sen takia et tolle mikä siellä nyt on pitää tehä history merge Uusimaa (disambiguation)in kanssa, koska cut&paste siirsit sen aikanaan. - Bobet 14:19, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

• Ahaa, en tiennytkään et "requested moves" on ees olemas! No, kait se pitää sitten sinne pistää. Äh, miten täst tuli näin monimutkasta... :-/ --Thorri 14:27, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Enigma

Hi there Thorri, I just saw your recent edits at the Enigma disambig page a while ago. Just to let you know, according to Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (disambiguation pages), it states that wikilinked entries should not be masked. In addition, italics are not needed in some cases, please see Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style (titles) for more info. So, that means your edits has to be reverted. Sorry about that... =\ --Andylkl 12:41, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Mariehamnvaakuna.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mariehamnvaakuna.jpg. The image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. 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 Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, contact Carnildo.

template:user fsm

I'm calling out a posse, to fight for freedom of choice, to fight all those who think that only their opinion's right, template:user fsm was speedy deleted by an administrator without any cause or even discussion, I'm therefore putting it up for undeletion since people have put a jihad out against opinions in userboxes. As you were one of many people using the template, I'm trying to rally you into the posse. If you think the template should be returned to active status, put in a vote at Misplaced Pages:Deletion_review/Userbox_debates#template:user_fsm. Janizary 04:26, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
