I thought that I should tell you that I created a new SVG version of the Wikipedia logo, located here. It has a few problems, could you help me with it?  Tcrow777  talk  23:22, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That is why I called it "experimental", it is a work in progress. Did you not read the note or the to-do list on the Commons talk page where I pointed out those problems? Yes, I auto-traced it. I used Inkscape to edit it a litle.

I am not the first one to point out the inconsistencies between the main page logo and large PNG logo, see it's talk page on Commons.

So it seems we both already know the problems with the current logo and the SVG one. What can I do to help you? Nohat 04:25, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can you use Inkscape? I am still very new to it. Feel free to upload a new version of the SVG logo if you want to.  Tcrow777  talk  05:10, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You said "Second, the gradient across the sphere is implemented as a series of overlapping strips of slightly different shades of gray." But the PNG logo dark gray going into almost white, I thought that the SVG was supposed to do the same thing.  Tcrow777  talk  05:48, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You seem to be the man to contact when we need a logo, so here I go : the Haitian Creole Wikipedia has recently been renamed from "Wikipedia" to "Wikipedya". Would it be possible to change the logo to reflect this ? The text would be "Wikipedya - Ansiklopedi lib".

You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised.

Thanks for uploading Image:Wikipedia-banner.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 18:26, 3 October 2007 (UTC).

Thanks for uploading Image:Culogo web 60red.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion.

I've left a couple messages on the logo's discussion page, but maybe I should leave one here too.

Hallo Nohat, Last December you were so friendly to create the logo for our Saterfrisian Wikipedia: stq:Wikipedia-logo-stq.png.

Thanks for uploading Image:Eddie_Amador-House_Music.ogg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

I've been trying to get /ʌ/ into most words that are supposed to have it, but I still feel a little awkward saying them... especially Hull, Dull, Ultra-, Multi- I used to pronounce most /ʌl/ words with /ʊl/, but some with /əl/ (in my opinion, sounds somewhere in between). I don't think I ever used /ʌl/! I've heard a few instances of the Dull-Bull merger on the radio lately (e.g. the March of Dimes BellyAd Blue ad, "lullaby" is obviously pronounced /lʊləˌbaɪ/ in this ad).

I recall you were the first or among the first to suggest and promote using IPA here. If you've not been around, there has been a recent trend to use these ree-SPELL-ing KEEZ, and I wondered what you thought about it. I conjectured a set of principles all wikis should have for using it (IPA issues) - there are lot of criticisms and I seem to agree with a few of them, but the divergence is pretty evident by the above template's choice of an example:

Worcestershire (pronounced /ˈwʊstɚʃɚ/, WOOS-tər-shər)

The latter is of course just unaccepable, while the original of course seems to have certain orthographical issues.

I have noticed that the Arabic Wikipedia has changed the font in the logo. Could you please update it, being the poster of the file? http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%85%D9%84%D9%81:Wikipedia-logo-ar.png --Spaza-Bozo (talk) 19:35, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I hope you will take a look at the discussion here commons:Commons:Village_pump#Wikipedia_screenshots_and_licensing_issues and especially the part about the Wikipedia logo. I noticed that it was licensed as GFDL in 2004. It would be really nice if you could help me find the original logo. --MGA73 (talk) 18:17, 20 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nohat! I did an edition of a loaded image for you, and I put the portuguese wikipédia slogan, but I did it wrong. I wonder if you could edit a new version of the file to be able to use it on Lusophone wikipédia, because I really liked the picture.

Would you?

Hugs,

A tag has been placed on File:Con-58b.wav requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.  Magister Scienta^talk (16 November 2011) 04:00, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Nohat,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.11.206.39 (talk) 03:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I know, you're not holding the rights for the logo, but I currently would like to use the logo for my own wiki project (no, no Wikipedia project), by altering the colors and rearranging it with other components. However, where do I have to ask for permission? I'm only reading that the foundation holds the rights - but how should they be contacted for this purpose?
