Mr. Bigglesworth, nice white cat?♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
Just whatever is the standard font I think, size 22 emboldened. I think its has to be png, but jpg might work try it. BTW i would be deeply honored if you would add a cartoon Blofeld of File:Dr. Evil4.jpg bald guy with a grey Nehru suit like Dr. Evil as a picture on your cafe wall.. Naturally he'd be holding Mr. Bigglesworth♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
No idea about scales, sorry...♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:05, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
Sorry to be a bother. I've made the images (46), and am now ready to upload. A couple of questions:
Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:35, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Just copy the parameters and license of the images i've already uploaded. In the commons click other when loading just type hh hh kp blaa in each parameter to upload then paste in the copied details and overide it, that's what I do♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:40, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello Anna,
Since I wrote the content on the Access China Travel website, it isn't really a copyright infringement is it? If it is, I can rewrite it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottshangguan (talk • contribs) 07:11, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Why was my addition to the Chinese Cuisine article vandalism? I added new information about different types of Chinese cuisine including information on different foods that were categorized based on people's economic and cultural standings. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scottshangguan (talk • contribs) 07:16, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello Anna,
I'm a bit confused I guess. Why did you say I added unconstructive content? I thought the information was constructive and interesting. It added information on Chinese culture that most people don't know.
I read the article you suggested I read and I still don't see what the problem is, or what I'm doing wrong. I am the copyright holder for the information I posted. It said that I can say that in the article's "Talk page", but I don't see one. I see "My talk" on the top of the page, but that's all.

Hi Anna
Thanks for your message. This is the first time I've drafted a page for Wikipedia so it's all been quite a steep learning curve, very enjoyable though. I'm just waited for permission to use the logo of the company the article is based upon - I posted a request. I also gather that uploading is more straightforward after four days and ten edits. That last condition is the most onerous as I've probably only done about five edits in as many years, all before I had a login account, but I'll see what I can do! Dickiedean (talk) 17:54, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
I have all of them and I will place them in a category for you
Hi Anna
I received this message from Sven Manguard (below). Do you think I should upload the article without the logo, and hopefully add it later?
• The image, as a logo, would be uploaded as a fair use image. Fair use images must be used in at least one article (pages that do not have a prefix), and cannot be used in the user space (pages that start with "user:"). When your article moves into the article space, please come back and ask for this again, in the mean time, I have to decline this. I'll put it on hold for 48 hours in case you're ready to move it to the namespace now, however if you're not, then this will have to wait. This isn't a "no" this is a "not yet". Sven Manguard Wha? 17:20, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your kind compliments! Regards 92.15.135.9 (talk) 15:19, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
:No problem. Actually, I see you've added it. You also probably noticed that I formatted it a bit. It's fine with or without image. I am still concerned about notability. It is entirely possible that it gets nominated for deletion. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:22, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Hey, just a happy reminder to make sure that you are regularly checking in on your mentees work for JMU'S Technical editing class, Sadads (talk) 11:13, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi Anna, I tried to upload a picture to 'wikimedia commons' had some 'license' errors displayed. I had sent an email to LC Sistem CEO and he replied to me by email, giving authority to publish the photo to wikimedia commons. I put in the 'pending' link but still it gave me the same license error. What more can I do? I thought that if I upload the photo first to Wikimedia Commons then I could do the edit on the wheelbarrow page with with the image link. Looking forward to hearing your suggestions on how to upload the image. Cheers, Joejoev (talk) 15:56, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Just thought you might be interested in the question I just asked at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions#Possible change in licensing at the Atlas of Canada/Natural Resources Canada. It appears that you can get the map with or without the feature highlighted and with an arrow pointing to the feature. I used Ennadai Lake which shows without the highlight but if you click on the link on the right that also says Ennadai Lake the highlight will appear. Playing with the features under the "legend" tab also changes the maps look. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 16:14, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Hello Anna, Would like to hear back from you regarding my Nepalese Sherpa article. Thanks Laughing Cabbage (talk) 04:08, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of allergies is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of allergies until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good 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 template from the top of the article. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 06:09, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
As I stated at User talk:Eugen Simion 14 over 2011 East Honshu earthquake (basically an article on the same thing), I would suggest working on any article in a sandbox for now. Having an article that only says "an earthquake of X strength hppened on Y" is useless. When more info is known, then it can have an article. Until then there's nothing wrong with a redirect to the aftershock section of the main article. StrPby (talk) 10:38, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Also, as a matter of clarity, I hope I'm not coming across as aggressive. I'm more than happy to discuss this civilly, as we are right now, on our talk pages. I make this comment as I'm getting a sense that you feel my approach has been rude by doing things first before contacting you (which is how I operate; usually the note I leave is as a courtesy), and I appreciate not everyone likes this method. StrPby (talk) 11:11, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
Anna, I need help and I don't know where to turn. You may be interested in helping, but if not you may have some good suggestions.
I have watched the Joseph Campbell article for several years because his work has been very meaningful in my life. Recently a new editor added a great amount of new information that was poorly thought-out, contained numerous grammatical mistakes, and perhaps was not even accurate. A Campbell expert has watched that article for years and I thought he'd step right in and take care of it, but that did not happen - I now think he is ill or something... So I did try to talk to the editor on the talk page and finally did try to edit his stuff. It was all very time-consuming and frustrating. He is a nice person and "gets" Campbell to some extent, but to put the thoughts of such a genius as Campbell in a Wikipedia article would take, I think, an expert - not someone who has read a few books and fell in love, so as to speak.
Anyway, after much discussion he suddenly removed his work and I thought that was the end of it. But now, to my surprise (and dismay) he has posted a new proposed addition on my talk page asking for my opinion. Would you have time to read his post on my talk page and let me know what you think I should do? If you are interested you may also read the old discussion on the talk page.
Thanks, Gandy
BTW Anna, I have written one article: Granite, Colorado! Gandydancer (talk) 16:48, 11 April 2011 (UTC)
