March 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Mark Roberts (Debunker) has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): googlepages\.com (links: http://911stories.googlepages.com/, http://911stories.googlepages.com/).

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:29, 20 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Talk page chat

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages such as Talk:The Spanish Inquisition (Monty Python) are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 13:14, 24 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Frank Frazetta self portrait.png

A tag has been placed on File:Frank Frazetta self portrait.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image licensed as "for non-commercial use only," "non-derivative use" or "used with permission," it has not been shown to comply with the limited standards for the use of non-free content. [1], and it was either uploaded on or after 2005-05-19, or is not used in any articles. If you agree with the deletion, there is no need to do anything. If, however, you believe that this image may be retained on Wikipedia under one of the permitted conditions then:

state clearly the source of the image. If it has been copied from elsewhere on the web you should provide links to: the image itself, the page which uses it and the page which contains the license conditions.
add the relevant copyright tag.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ww2censor (talk) 18:40, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Grímsvötn location map

Thanks for adding the location map to 2011 eruption of Grímsvötn. However without a caption it overlays the edit button on my PC (running Firefox). I just tried to fix it - unsucessfully, see History.--Lidos (talk) 18:45, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I made loc map a bit smaller to fix it.--RicHard-59 (talk) 19:50, 27 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Situation Room

Hi there! I wanted thank you for your contribution to The Situation Room (photograph) from a while back. Unfortunately, your edit as it was violated our plagiarism policies. I made the appropriate changes, but could you do you best to try to avoid that situation in the future? Thanks! NW (Talk) 19:48, 5 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Krokodil img pic

Howdy,

Thanks for the synthethis pic for krokodil! Two comments: firstly for some reason it wasn't displaying properly in chrome - whether that was a bug in mediawiki, chrome, or some subtley about SVGs I am not sure - in any case setting size to 700px seems to have fixed it for time being but would welcome feedback. Secondly, 'tis codeine, not codein

Cheers!

Hi, "Sodium thiopental.svg" has errors in valency and charge. Please correct it (PNG version is OK) or revert your changes in all wikis - I already did it in en and pl:wikis. This is a copy of my message in Commons. Regards, Michał Sobkowski (talk) 21:10, 31 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Morphine structure

Hi! Thanks for your additions to Benzylisoquinoline, but why did you replace an image of morphine with the correct 3D structure with a different one (also on Morphine)? Regards, ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 09:52, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It easier to compare image

to

than

. (my opinion ofcourse)--RicHard-59 (talk) 12:05, 7 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Agree, but I still think the chemistry section of the morphine article should show the correct structure, at least in addition to the traditional one. I have re-added the old image without removing yours; hope that's okay with you. --ἀνυπόδητος (talk) 15:58, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OK with me.--RicHard-59 (talk) 17:02, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification

Hi. When you recently edited Morphine, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Unsaturation and Dihydrofuran (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

18,19-Dehydrobuprenorphine

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of 18,19-Dehydrobuprenorphine, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=14070158.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

List of Opioids

Sure. I was thinking of creating a new pharmacology-oriented "opioidergics" template anyway, so when I do I'll give it a look-see. I'm a bit busy with revamping steroid hormone templates right now though so it might be a while. Also, I'm not a chemist so I should note that I might not be the best person for the job. I will go through and handle what I can though. In any case, have you considered asking User:Meodipt as well? el3ctr0nika (Talk | Contribs) 19:03, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Yeah some of the items in that "list of opioids" appear to be made up entries that are just extrapolations of existing compounds but may or may not have actually been made. I've generally left them up there as many obscure compounds that I was sure must be invented, have turned out to actually exist. However if you really can't find a reference anywhere, then they are likely fictitious and can be deleted from the list. Meodipt (talk) 22:31, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about how two images were created

Hello, I really like a lot of your image contributions! I have questions about two in particular:

Time zones in Mexico:

This says it was created with Inkscape, which doesn't fully answer the question because you probably started with a map of the Mexican states with just the boundaries. But you also have the boundaries within states, such as those near the US border which sync with the US (including daylight saving time), rather than syncing with the majority of the state.

I suppose it's two questions: First, where did you find a map of the Mexican states with timezone borders. Second, how did you fill with color? Perhaps Inkscape has a paint bucket tool, I haven't actually used it.

I'm asking here because this map (and many others, but yours is particularly nice) is not very accessible with my color vision deficit, deuteranomaly. I can't see all the different colors, they seem to be very similar reds and oranges. I would love to be able to remake it with blue and green (I don't think it has green yet, but I can't necessarily see). Darker green, which I won't confuse for red or yellow.

With time zone images, I often with the DST-observing regions would just crosshatch the two colors of the summer and winter time, which would cut down the total number of colors and be quite intuitive. That's veering off topic, but I've dreamt of being able to make these maps colorblind accessible.

Morphinan bridged ring structure:

What software did you even use to draw morphinan? It looks beautiful. I used to have ChemBioDraw, but I no longer do. But you even numbered the carbon atoms, which is great.

How do you draw organic chemistry structures, what software? Is it WYSIWYG like ChemBioDraw, or do you feed in SMILES structures and maybe tweak it, or what?

Thank you, please respond in a way that will give me an alert in the corner, I haven't had a Wikipedia discussion like this in ages and I've forgotten how this directed-but-public messaging works,

Fluoborate (talk) 13:32, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can you pls link the images. RicHard-59 (talk) 13:50, 10 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For both images i used Inkscape. File:Mexico time zones map en.svg: open original spanish File:Mexico time zones map.svg and translated it in english, and addded red borders. Edit: it is easy to change zone colors in Inkscape: Choose "Move-tool", click an area and choose suitable color. Area and edge can be changed.

File:Morphinan.svg: Normally i used some existing similar formula and edited it again with Inkscape.

If no suitable svg, loaded the image in Inkscape and used it as model. --RicHard-59 (talk) 07:21, 11 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
