Andres C.

Welcome!

Hi, Andres C., Welcome to Wikipedia!

Hello, and welcome to the loony yet quite pleasing ranks of Wikipedians! My name is BorgHunter, one of very many zany Wikipedians around here, and let me be the first to welcome you here. Before getting too in-depth, you may want to read about the simplified ruleset. If you need help on how to title new articles check out the naming conventions, and for help on formatting the pages visit the manual of style. If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and the FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check the Village Pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or the Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal. And if you have any more questions after that, feel free to post them on my user talk page. And don't worry -- you may well have a bunch of questions after that avalanche of info I just threw at you. Yeah, Wikipedia has a bit of a culture and etiquette of its own, but you get used to it!

Additional tips

Here's some extra tips to help you get around in the 'pedia!

• If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
• You can sign your name using three tildes (~). If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.
• You may want to add yourself to the new user log.
• You should also consider (if you have not already) creating a user page for yourself, to tell us a bit about you. Don't worry if it's small at first -- most people tend to grow their user pages over a period of time, much like Wikipedia articles. Don't expect everything to happen all at once!
• If you ever think a page or image should be deleted, please list it at the votes for deletion page. There is also a votes for undeletion page if you want to retrieve something that you think should not have been deleted.
• If you're still entirely confused, or would like to get a better grasp of your wikipedia skills, and you have an IRC client (or don't mind getting one), check out the Bootcamp. It's not what it sounds like, but it is fun and can help you with your editing skills.
• If you're bored and want to find something to do, try the Random page button in the sidebar, or check out the Open Task message in the Community Portal.

Happy Wiki-ing.

Revision of Cenepa war article

I have checked into your receint modifications of the article referred to Cenepa war. Here are some highlights.

• Although war after World War II did not always included an official declaration of war (i.e.Korean War), were considered to as conventional warfare, and it would be proper to state on the article Cenepa conflict was an undeclared war.
• Task force, i was referring to as conscript force, and toll military draft during the war.
• Logistics; arms used by both sides, including, repeating rifles, machine guns, or any other kind of military equipment used by ground or airbone forces and Technology involved on this conflict.

It would be nice if rework for this article may include pictures.HappyApple 02:24, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Debated whether to put this in the talk page or not, but i did not know if you watch that page actively. Just thought i'd give you a heads up-Messhermit is at it againDragonlord kfb 16:25, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Accurate sources?

• Accurate sources? Have you provide links? or any other way to verify the books? Once again, I'm not gonna do that for you, it's your job. Regarding the last rv that you have done to the page, please take a look at my previous edition and you will realice that your so called Facts were not removed, but just separated in smaller paragraphs in order to make it easier to read. Messhermit 18:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
• So, according to you, I should ignore the fact that Jose Abelardo Quiñones is one of the main heroes of the PEruvian Air Force?
• The monument is a monument. It is dedicated for those who fought in the war. What other picture are you planning to put then? I have look for any other, but there is none. Messhermit 20:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

options a,b,c,d

I would choose option "d and a half". As a result of the treaty Ecuador received 5,000-plus km2 and Peru received 14,000 km2. Vivaperucarajo 20:33, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

= Mediation Case: Joe Scarborough

You have indicated that you are willing to accept an assignment as a mediator. I have assigned this case to you. If you don't want to take the case on, just say so at the bottom of the request, delegate it to someone else and update the case list accordingly. Before you begin the mediation please read the suggestions for mediators. You can also review earlier mediation cases to get an understanding for possible procedures. --Fasten 11:15, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Request for Mediation

Following Wikipedia's policy, I put the request in my own Talk Page. A request for mediation has been filed with the Mediation Committee that lists you as a party. The Mediation Committee requires that all parties listed in a mediation must be notified of the mediation. Please review the request at Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/History of the Ecuadorian-Peruvian territorial dispute, and indicate whether you agree or refuse to mediate. If you are unfamiliar with mediation, please refer to Wikipedia:Mediation. There are only seven days for everyone to agree, so please check as soon as possible.

POV

Andre, I went back and read my edit and I see your point. I attempted to make it sound a little more NPOV. I hope that it acceptable. I fear that calling out either the Ecuadorans or the Peruvians may be inflammatory. Cheers! --Scaife ^(Talk) Don't forget Hanlon's Razor 19:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Grr Wikipedia formatting stinks...

I dislike how things are organized on wikipedia talk pages sometimes. I just replied to a message that was posted LAST YEAR, thinking it was this year... <_< Oiy. All the Peru/Ecuador fights are confusing me because the format of everything is so horrible. What do you think? Pvt Mahoney 21:48, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Heh, don't worry. I wasn't deleting anything from your page that you needed. Someone posted a comment on your userpage instead of takepage, so I deleted it off your userpage. It had been there for about two weeks, so I didn't think it really contributed to your userpage anymore.

And my comment was actually confusion ^_^;; I misread the date, thinking it was from this recent rev-war, but realized it was from way back in October... Oopsies. I deleted it after I realized that I was basing that statement on outdated information. Pvt Mahoney 23:15, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I understand what you are talking about, but its in mediation right now, so we don't need more advertising to solve the issue at hand. If anything, more people who join in may cause more issues. Pvt Mahoney 03:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

I have added the section back. Pvt Mahoney 03:28, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

squidward vandalism

The IP address in question was used for "squidward" vandalism. If this IP address is a permanent address corresponding to a specific computer used by you, that computer has probably been hacked and is being used as a zombie computer, part of a botnet under the control of the "squidward" vandal. However, if it's a dynamic IP address assigned by your ISP, it's likely that the IP address was used by someone else's computer and the problem is not with your computer.

Military history WikiProject Newsletter, Issue I

The Military history WikiProject Newsletter Issue I - March 2006
Project news An independent military history peer review has been created for the benefit of the project. A number of articles have already been reviewed, receiving significantly more feedback within the project than they did on the generic peer review page. The project's Collaboration of the Fortnight got off to a great start with Ferdinand Foch and is now focusing on the military history of Spain. Two new task forces—dealing with warfare during classical antiquity and the Middle Ages—have been created. An effort to build a catalogue of high-quality maps for use in military history articles is now underway. The newly-formed translation department is looking for volunteers to help with translating featured articles from other-language Wikipedias.	From the Coordinators Welcome to the inaugural issue of the Military history WikiProject's newsletter! We hope that this new format will help members—especially those who may be unable to keep up with some of the rapid developments that tend to occur—find new groups and programs within the project that they may wish to participate in. Please consider this inital issue to be a prototype; as always, any comments and suggestions are quite welcome, and will help us improve the newsletter in the coming months. Kirill Lokshin, Lead Coordinator
Current proposals Proposed guidelines for categories of military people are currently being discussed. A number of issues have already been resolved, but the proposed scheme is still in draft form and further input would be very welcome.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit

Hello,

An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Messhermit/Workshop.

Apology

I did not mean to come down on you. I have been trying to mediate on the Falkland Islands page for a month or so now, and everytime it seems it settles down, another argument erupts. You comments were not inflammatory, and would probably have been useful earlier in the discussion. So I apologize if my comment seemed rude -- I really didn't mean it that way. -- Gnetwerker 20:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Stalking

This is the only official warning that I am giving to you. Stop following me trough all my editions in both Wikipedia:EN and Wikipedia:ES. What you are doing can be labeled as stalking and could lead you to serious consequences here in Wikipedia. If you proceed with this deviant behavior, I will start actions against your person. This is a serious issue and a clear attempt by your part to take this dispute to a personal level. Messhermit 03:52, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps you have not read what wikistalking is? All your user contributions are public for a reason. As for your warnings, I suggest you to take immediate action. I will post this threat of yours in your Talk Page and in the ArbCom Evidence page. Andrés 04:15, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

1. I have just stated what I believe was "deviant behavior" against my person. That is, I will accept that you use this as evidence against my person due to the fact that I did not use any form of language that can be declare "offensive".
2. Moving aside from the personal issues between the two of us, I believe that if we want to solve this problem once and for all we must discuss this without letting our personal views (that is, nationalism or grudges against each other) to interfere.
3. I'm ready and willing to discuss in a civilized way the main disputes regarding the Ecuadorian-Peruvian topics. However, I must insist once again that it only has to involve the two of us. Having already too many people in this discussion is confusing sometimes.
4. By this, I am not asking to put aside the RFA against my person. That is still another issue that some important people in Wikipedia must decide, not us.
5. I will be waiting a reply. If you are willing to work with me, that is fine. If not, I guess that this whole thing can go on forever, which I do not desire. Messhermit 19:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Sources

I believe you're correct that some sources are not appropriate in Wikipedia. For example, a blog would not be considered a good source, and that particular source that came from a message posted on a mailing list probably has the same standing as a blog. Neurodivergent 00:53, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Wow, I wouldn't have guessed you thought you were "borderline" Asperger. It's pretty common these days, but still, it's an interesting coincidence. When I first read about Asperger's, it was pretty clear to me I was one, but I had my doubts until my son was diagnosed HFA. Neurodivergent 03:56, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Mirage F.1

Hi Emt147. As the Mirage F.1 article lacks images, I began to include pictures from my own collection. I did think about putting the one you saw today inside the infobox, but I decided otherwise as the image gets too small. I'll post one or two more which are perhaps better suited to be put inside the box. Regards. Andrés C. 00:21, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

You don't want the images to be much bigger than 250 px anyway. Remember, 250 px is small if your monitor is at a high resolution. If you are at a library or low-income facility/country and your monitor is at 640x480, a 250 px photo will take up half the page. This is less of a problem when the adjacent text is narrow (i.e. specs) so the 3-views have been in the 350 px range, but it gets oppressive if it squishes all the text. There are no hard guidelines but use your best judgement. - Emt147 ^Burninate! 07:44, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

IP

Quoting:

I strongly believe that the IP address 147.70.124.109 was used by Messhermit.

1. I demand to know why you did not protest the vandalism that IP 84.71.145.217 [1] did to the Paquisha War article, since it deleted 1 important source. Also, the fact that the IP is not located in Ecuador does not imply that you "may not" be the author of those actions.
2. "I strongly believe" that you were behind those modifications, since you are applying this same principle against my person. Messhermit 14:34, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Hello. While I have voted in your case, I am currently not an active arbitrator. If you have any need to contact an arbitrator about your case, please check the list of active arbitrators at WP:AC. Thanks. Dmcdevit·t 17:00, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Flag of Ecuador

Greetings Andres.

I'm a bit confused, but you might be able to help me out. I checked with the flag of Ecuador which states that the official size ratio of the Ecuadorian flag is 1:2 The image I used had exactly this ratio. Is this information incorrect? Flags of the World also mentions the 1:2 ratio. [2] The image you are using has a size ratio of 2:3

My knowledge about South America is extremely rusty, but I think I once read something about the size having to do with making the flag easier to distinguish from the one of Colombia, but I'm no expert on the matter. Regards. Valentinian ^(talk) 21:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, it was very interesting. No need to apologize: I am the one asking the stupid questions, remember? I've read a bit about the issue since yesterday, and I've found a few pieces of information, but they seems to make the picture more muddy.

The Flag of the World page (I know it is not an ideal source):

"On September 26, 1860, Gabriel Garcia Moreno, Supreme Chief of Government, decreed the flag change to its present (and ancient) colours, adopting the ratio 1:2 which differentiates Ecuador flag to that of Colombia (which would adopt the same distribution of its tricolori the following year)." [3] Does the note about 1860 seem familiar at all? The post looks like it was made by a person with a Spanish name, but unfortunately no nationality or source is listed.

I've tried the webpage of the Ecuadorian embassy in Stockholm, Sweden: [4]; no specification and they use a third ratio. The Embassy of Ecuador in the United States uses a fourth (3:5) [5] I've also tried the interwiki versions of Flag of Ecuador and the Dutch version lists these ratios: "Civil flag" (1:2), Merchant flag (on ships) (2:3), Naval flag (2:3) and Presidential flag (1:1). The images seem to have been drawn by User:Huhsunqu from Peru, but no source is listed. The official images I can find of Ecuadorian presidents definitely didn't show a flag with a 1:1 ratio.

Btw, before we started communicating, I'd been replacing a redundant image (Image:Flag of Ecuador (state).svg) with Image:Flag of Ecuador.svg, but both of them use the 1:2 ratio and are vitually identical - nevertheless I somewhat regret doing so now. If no proper specification exists, then by all means use the image you feel is the most correct. Remember that we have both {{Ecuador-stub}}, {{Ecuador-geo-stub}}, and {{Ecuador-geo-stub}} For some time, Ive been considering a stub template for Ecuadorian politicians as well and in fact we have enough material, but unfortunately it will cut down the "people" category too much, so I've put that plan on hold for the time being.

Anyway, this has been a nice opportunity to learn a bit about your country which I knew next to nothing about. Ecuador certainly looks like a beautiful place (but I can't really imagine living in a country with mountains.) Best regards and sorry for cluttering up your user page. Valentinian ^(talk) 00:05, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the info. Interesting story and the pictures look pretty. What I meant was: the highest point in Ecuador is: c. 6,267 m Geography_of_Ecuador#Elevation_extremes. The highest point in Denmark is 171 meters - so Denmark is as flat as a pancake. But Danes refer to a point of c. 147 meters as Himmelbjerget (= Sky Mountain) da:Himmelbjerget. Virtually all of Denmark is farmland (although the land in Western Jutland is too sandy to grow grain so they grow potatoes). We have a few forests (12% or so), which have basically all been replanted, since they were all cut down before 1800. And you may call your country small, but it is more than six times larger than mine. Happy editing. Valentinian ^(talk) 09:48, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

Image permission problem with Image:Zamora Santiago.JPG

Image Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading Image:Zamora Santiago.JPG. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the image (or other media file) agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the GFDL or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the image to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the image has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

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, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included. 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 provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Images lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 07:06, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
