User talk:Skenmy/Archive 2

Welcome back :)

Glad to see you back. :) DragonFire1024 08:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

I was away for a bit too...was only around for a day or 2 a week or so. DragonFire1024 09:05, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Linux install

Well, I certainly agree with you about version 1.4.1. of w:dyne:bolic, the startup sound certainly makes sure you're awake. 2.4.2 is much less "aggressive" with the startup, but missing the LiVES package I wanted to have a play with.

I've rambled about where I got stuck on my talk page, there's free space on my main disk - both an uninitialised primary partition free and another 87-odd Gb unallocated altogether. I'm stumped on how to get dyne:bolic to set up space in one of these areas for me to use. It has a dock feature so you can run it off HDD - and secure even though you still boot it from the CD. The various things I found googling all seemed to assume you had FAT32 and a need to do some fiddling to resize a partition, my primary partition is NTFS.

Can you help with this or should I ask elsewhere? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 20:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I made some progress on this, formatted my 2nd primary partition FAT32 once I found a program that didn't have the same problems as the built-in format. This allows me to use the "dock" functionality of dyne:bolic, but I'd actually like to be able to do a dual boot or have a grub/lilo boot floppy that'll allow me to pick Linux or Windows. (me goes looking for blank floppies - probably under an inch of dust). --Brian McNeil / ^talk 11:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Protection?

Surely this defeats the purpose of Wikinews. It is not like there is a spree of vandalism on the article. Its not fair that only the administrators *cough*cabal :) *cough* get to edit it. Ycanneh 21:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

It's only protected from moves, not from editing. Anyone can still edit it. —Zachary ^talk 21:03, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Press card

Your request for accreditation seems to be going well. User:Messedrocker used to prepare the press cards, and I think User:Cspurrier also has a template, but I got the template from Messedrocker so I could also make you one if you send me a suitable ID-kinda photo.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 14:28, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

With your new camera that shouldn't be too hard.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

You have a press card now?--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:24, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

So your dad made one or you got the Wikinews template press card from someone else? I'm glad to see you doing OR, especially with the recent voices for more OR and less of the rest.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:27, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Excellent, good luck and enjoy! I find it addicting so be warned . --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 20:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikiquote account

I have renamed the false Skenmy account at Wikiquote, and re-registered Skenmy. You do not have email enabled here, so I cannot presently send you the password, but will do so by whatever means can be securely arranged. ~ Kalki 21:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Photo opportunities

The Beeb offer tours, interested? --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:20, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

WN:HOTLINE

I just got around to listening to it. Glad someone listens to it more often then I do. Bawolff ☺☻ 22:08, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I want to update the hotline a bit and try and revive its' use. It's a fantastic way for people to contribute without writing, or whilst out in the field. --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 16:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I personally think that what it needs is an upload bot. It would monitor the mailing list, if there is a sound file longer then ten seconds, it rencodes as ogg, uploads to commons (with apropriate tags), and tags with the hotline template locally. Bawolff ☺☻ 21:08, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks. --SVTCobra 21:51, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

Big Weekend Image

Image:Radio 1 big weekend transmitter.jpg: any luck in establishing a license?--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 19:37, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Permission was obtained. Beleive it or not I just missed the guy on IRC - i'll get it CC-BY'ed if he agrees. Working on it :) --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 19:42, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Image is now CC-BY. Updating local image page. --Skenmy^{(t•c•w•i)} 20:32, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

redirect

Sorry for the late response. I understand that the redirect doesnt work in an interwiki way. It was just meant for a visual effect. I'll change it to a plain link. Thanks for the note :) Waldir 23:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Templates

I just signed up a couple of days ago and I am kind of confused. It isn't like Wikipedia where you can find the amount of edits you made and I can't add some of the templates I used in Wikipedia. LADodgersAngelsfan 03:38, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Baseball

In Wikipedeia I constantly update the Dodgers stats with Hornberry who recently created an account in Wikinews. Can we constantly make news about a single game the Dodgers played? Please? LADodgersAngelsfan 01:05, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Toolserveraccount

Hello Skenmy,
please send your real-name, your wikiname, your prefered login-name and the public part of your ssh-key to . We plan to create your account soon then. --DaB.

User talk:ArchiveBot#not marked bot edits. –Doldrums(talk) 10:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Not seen you about much, but sure you're busy with something. I've a couple of things archivebot could do that would be useful. Mainly to do with sources. The tasks to be performed are sorting newest to oldest; where possible reformatting dates - where not possible tagging so whoever actually archives has a note to look at the source and work out the actual date. Checking none of the sources where it recognises the date are later than the date on the article and if so tagging it.

Similar measures should be applied to the Related news section when present. --Brian McNeil / ^talk 09:47, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Skenmy. May I ask you try to clarify the licensing situation with regards to this image. It currently lacks details of its source and what licence it is available for use under as required by image policy. You note on the image page that you consider use of the image as fair use on your userpage however fair use is not valid outside the article namespace. How can we jusitfy using copyrighted images in such circumstances? Unless you are able to resolve this issue I would suggest you might wish to delete the image as it currently doesn't comply with our image policies. Regards. Adambro 21:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
