==Jeringozo==
It is not on the DRAE... but it is the word people use.

:"Jeringonza" is the word people use. A [http://www.googlefight.com/index.php?word1=Jeringonza&word2=Jeringozo Google Fight] confirms that. --[[User:Fibonacci|Fibonacci]] 22:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Jeringonza... I am from Buenos Aires, I am 43 now, and I have ''never'' heard it pronounced that way...

:I've lived in Colombia for more than 16 years, and have '''never''' heard "jeringozo". Mostly "jeringonza" and the occasional "jeringonzo". --[[User:Fibonacci|Fibonacci]] 22:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

I would not give DRAE authority over Argentine slang when (you can be sure that) every Argentine reference you can contact will tell you otherwise... [[User:Elpincha|elpincha]] 19:25, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

:I would not give Argentine slang authority over DRAE when (you can be sure that) jeringonza is spoken all over Latin America, not only in Argentina. --[[User:Fibonacci|Fibonacci]] 22:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

::I am not reverting. Just passed by here again to note that ''jeringonza'' means many different things... the second article on Google (where I lost the "fight") is [http://www.uv.mx/Popularte/Esp/scriptphp.php?sid=578 this], and I would exclude this result from a "fair" fight. To me, it is obvious that the Argentine usage was far more prevalent than the Colombian usage, and I'd even venture that Colombians got the name from Argentine movies. Since this cannot be proved, I defer to your changes. Cambio y fuera. [[User:Elpincha|elpincha]] 01:53, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

== Uniform tiling images ==

Hi, I appreciate the SVG replacements for my GIF tiling images. I'm not sure how you do the conversion. I'm interested in showing the 32 uniform colorings for the 11 uniform tilings, and don't want to keep uploading inferior images. I'm wondering if you could help?

Hi, I appreciate the SVG replacements for my GIF tiling images. I'm not sure how you do the conversion.

:Erm... manually? I do most of my [[SVG]] coding by hand, but [[Inkscape]] or [[Sodipodi]] could help a lot. You would still have to redraw the polygons by hand, though. --[[User:Fibonacci|Fibonacci]] 06:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

:: Thanks! The colors are unimportant. The pictures are grayscale, so a bit hard to see some maybe. The label shows a code, like 121212 means alternating two colors at a vertex. Or 1111 means one color, and 1234 mean four different colors around a vertex. Does that help? [[User:Tomruen|Tom Ruen]] 07:11, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

==Unspecified source for Image:NorthBorneoFlag2.png==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:NorthBorneoFlag2.png]]'''. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the [[copyright]] status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{tl|GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Fair use]], use a tag such as {{tlp|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 [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} this link].

== Dealers den ==

Hello,
I saw you were helping Argox with his Spanish translation of the article ''[[furry convention]]''. While reading (and correcting) the translation, I came across an ambiguous phrase which could be translated to Spanish in two ways with different meanings:
:''(...) a ''Dealers Den'' where art and [[comic book]] distributors and other [[merchant]]s can sell their wares for a fee''
So, does it mean that the merchants have to pay a fee to be allowed to sell, or that (as is usually the case) it's the merchants who charge a fee to the buyers?

Thanks in advance for your help, --[[User:Fibonacci|Fibonacci]] 11:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

:You have found a phrase that could be explained better in the article. In fact, '''both''' meanings are implied here. The Dealers Den is a place where dealers (either professional artists with lots of prints or framed works, or dealers of other people's art/comics/books/T-shirts/plush toys/fashion accessories) may rent a table from the convention, for a price - at [[Anthrocon]], anywhere from $75 for half a table (3 foot by 3 foot) to $525 for a square island (10 foot by 10 foot) [http://www.anthrocon.org/dealer]. They may then sell to the people who attend the convention.
:This contrasts with the Artists' Alley, which usually does ''not'' charge artists for space to sell - however, the space is much smaller (see the pictures in the article to compare), there is no guarantee that they will get it if there are too many people (some conventions are starting to sell small badges to get a good place for $10-$20), they must remain there most of the time to keep their place, and they must only sell their own work.
:Thank you for assisting Argox with the translation, and for your work against vandalism of the article. [[User:GreenReaper|GreenReaper]] 23:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

::Well, since the second meaning is implied by default, I finally decided to translate only the first one to Spanish. Thank you for your help. --[[User:Fibonacci|Fibonacci]] 18:43, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

== Image:Delamo concept.png ==
Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Delamo concept.png]]'''. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]], but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our [[Wikipedia:Fair use criteria|first fair use criterion]] in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

# Go to [[:Image:Delamo concept.png|the image description page]] and edit it to add <code><nowiki>{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}</nowiki></code>, '''without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template'''.
# On [[Image talk:Delamo concept.png|the image discussion page]], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, [[Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission|requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license]], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria.

== [[Flag of the Department of Santander]] ==

Of course i would be happy to explain, The Flag of Santander was officially changed on [[September 1]], [[2006]], by means of the '''Decree 254 of 2006''' which states in Article 1 that "Modificar el artículo segundo del decreto 579 de 1972, en lo pertinente a las estrellas, el cual quedará así: LAS ESTRELLAS de plata son representación de los ocho (8) Núcleos de Desarrollo Provincial del Departamento de Santander."

This information IS in the [http://www.gobernaciondesantander.gov.co/santander/portal/modulos.php?name=contenido&file=contenido&func=con&codi=17&namecont=Emblemas Governorship site] you just have to look a lil closer, at the bottom of this page in the section that says "Archivos a Descargar" you can find the link to download this Decree "Decreto254_2006_Bandera" and you will see for yourself, and even though some images in the same overnorship page still have the 6 stas, there are also some others that now show the 8 stars, and actually, i just noticed that the [[Coat of arms of the Department of Santander]] has also changed, before it had six argent stars in a border field of gules on the upper part of the shield, but now it has eight, however, there is no Decree or explanation to support this fact, all i know is that the governorship now shows a shield with 8, which makes sense since if they changed the flag for the same reasons why not the COA. Should the coat of arms be changed?

As for FOTW, i cannot speak for them, nor i think the Department of Santander was thinking of contancting the site to change its symbols, and the site is not always 100% accurate.

Hope to have cleared any doubts. [[User:Mijotoba|mijotoba]] 15:34, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

==[[es:Colombia Británica]]/[[es:Columbia Británica]]==

Interesting; I"m from BC of course and I'm half-fluent in Spanish; in French of course it's colombie-brittannique (I never get how many t's and n's right) and I also speak some French (I'm 1/8 but learned it on my own).  Why it's interesting, knowing the history in my area and the provenance of the name - via the [[Columbia District]] and its partition in 1846 - is that the name derives, via the river, from the ''ship'', which was named after the "poetic name" for the US, Columbia (as in "Hail, Columbia!" and District of Columbia, of course].  Obviously the Spanish legacy concerning hte name follows the same pattern as how it came to be in English, i.e. derived from the river/ship; both of which in french are "Columbia", and the point of BC is it's the ''British'' sector of Columbia; some of our historians have referred to south of 49 as "Southern Columbia" (in the course of bewailing its loss).  Hmmm...not that it's going to change anyone in Quebec's or France's mind about it, but it's interesting to know that Spanish has the proper form of the name, and doesn't impose a hispanicism on the name the way French has; despite, again, that french gets the name of the river right.  The clincher will be, and I'm not sure, what the French name for the Columbia District is; the sense of that is "the district of the Columbia River" - how odd if it's ''la fleuve Columbia'' but ''le departement de la colombie'' - I think the HBC district-name in French might have been ''departement de Columbia'' (haven't fond a French usage of it yet; there's no Wiki article on the [[Columbia District]]) but certainly if it was, then ''Columbia-brittanique'' SHOULD be the right form.  Its Spanish equivalent apparently is in that language; but ''colombie-brittanique'' is so entrenched in French, particularly Canadian French, that despite the obvious error there's no hope of ever changing their minds.  Oh well.....just FYI and as a side-comment on your edit.....[[User:Skookum1|Skookum1]] 19:51, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi Fibonacci

I've been looking for scalable images of the Koch curve and the Koch snowlfake and found yours on Wikipedia. They're great, my machine wont download them, maybe because of the file type?

==Radiation Symbol images==
On Commons, you contributed a magenta radiation warning symbol [[:Image:radiation warning symbol-US.svg]], which amazingly enough, is something less than 500 bytes.  Then someone had the one for [[:Image:Radiation warning symbol.svg|black on yellow]], which you substituted another one, and while theirs was 5K, yours was again only about 412 bytes.  However, yours was black with no background rather than black on yellow, so they reverted it.  I took your symbol, put a yellow square behind it, and it comes up 2 1/2K.  I looked at the file in Wordpad (fortunately SVG images are text rather than binary) and discovered Inkscape adds a lot of metadata which isn't really necessary for interpreting the image (or at least it isn't in this case), so I cut and pasted the rectangle as text from one to the other, and I come up with one that's 720 bytes, which is amazing, so I have replaced the previous one which was 5K.  I have also [[:Image:Radiation warning symbol2.svg|re-uploaded the one you did]] so that it is also available by itself.  

I have to admit that I was unaware of how much power the SVG specification has in terms of making images that can be much smaller (due to the capability for an image to replicate and rotate part of itself.)  I like SVG for its capacity to automatically resize as the image is shrunk or expanded, but I didn't realize how really versatile it is, or how a master of the specification such as your self can do amazing things with it.  [[User:Rfc1394|Paul Robinson (Rfc1394)]] 23:57, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

:The "useless metadata" (that is, useless for every program except [[Inkscape]] and perhaps [[Sodipodi]]) is one of the reasons I rarely use Inkscape, and code most of my SVG files by hand. If you want to learn more about the specification, I suggest reading http://www.w3.org/TR/SVG/ (not the whole contents, of course, but only the parts you want to use).
:Thank you for your message. --[[User:Fibonacci|Fibonacci]] 09:16, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
----
You're a better man than I am, Fib!  (Shades of ''[[Gunga Din]]'').  I like the idea and I might do some work like perhaps editing a file by hand and stripping unnecessary metadata but I don't have the math background to be able to do something like that! I couldn't even visualize how one does something like what you did or know how to get it properly inside the bounding box, and so on; I'd have to use a drawing program, at least to know what the commands need to be.  Which fortunately the SVG file format, being plain text, gives us the capability to do things like that.

I have gone through and replaced [[:Image:Radiation warning symbol 2.svg|another image]] which was identical to your black one only changing the color from black to a shade of orange, and the file size drops from 5K to less than ½K.  If you look at the metadata stored by Commons concerning who created or replaced a file, it is interesting that the original image goes from 5K to 2K on my first pass, then down so low that I don't think it's possible to do better than that.

What I think, for persons such as myself that I might use something like Inkscape to create an image and perhaps then optimize it by hand (similar to the way people hand-optimized programs before compilers got a whole lot better.)  Or perhaps make suggestions to the programmers who wrote it or look at the code to see about adding access to additional features.  Programs like that, and a new one I'm trying [[Blender]], have a steep to very steep learning curve, but once you can figure out how to use them, they can provide some amazing features.  But they really need work on the user interface, they're often puzzling to figure out.

There are [[:Image:Nuclear symbol.jpg|three]] [[:Image:Radioaktivita.svg|other]] [[:image:WMD-radiation.svg|images]] that I either want to convert from [[JPG]] (using the trace function in Inkscape) or if already as [[SVG]], try to do a reduction on similar to what you have done, and see what I can do to make them smaller, basically as an intellectual exercise.  I am going to look at the specification (which I have downloaded) because one of the things I am interested in is the replication feature (I think the XML keyword is "use" which allows a portion of the image to be duplicated somewhere else; this might be useful in some constructs.)

I mean, seriously, the practice of making these images smaller, it's the sort of thing that is fun to do to show one's prowess and capability, but, for most things hand-tuning is probably overkill.  Yes, trimming an image size by 90%, still leaving it editable and not changing its appearance is a good idea, but it's not like I'm going to notice the difference.  Let's see, my main hard drive has 39 GB free of 180GB.  The secondary external drive I have (to transfer files between computers and to store backup files like copies of my MP3s) has 185GB free out of 275GB. (Obviously, you can tell, I collect a lot of crap!)  In my case, It's not like I need the space, and files generally take a minimum of 4K anyway.  

There are, however, benefits if we continue to consider about using resources responsibly, say in the case of programmers (of which I have been one for 25 years): faster load times, smaller programs, and perhaps a better experience for the user. 

So, maybe it isn't technically necessary to fight for that extra byte (or rather, to get rid of the extra byte!)  But, as I pointed out, it's still a badge of honor to show how really technically proficient one can be, in ways that other people probably can't even imagine and might not even understand why it is something some people think about, and are proud of.

==Diacritics==

Please don't start replacing manually the diacritics of S-comma and T-comma. You are indeed right that those are the correct diacritics. But there are several reasons why we keep the wrong ones for now and why we'll do the replacements with a bot.

*The most important reason is that there are still many readers who see squares instead of S-comma and T-comma. For the others it's mostly a question of grafic detail, not of readability. We cannot force everyone to use updated OS's and browsers.
*The replacement should be performed in a very short time interval across the whole project, so as the search feature remains usable.
*The replacement has to be made in a specific order, so as to avoid broken internal links.

You may wish to take part in this talk: [[:ro:Discuţie Wikipedia:Corectarea diacriticelor]].

== Presidents of Colombia ==

Hello Fibanacci, I need a second opinion, I hope you can help me. I have been working on infoboxes for the [[Presidents of Colombia]], I have been encountering some problems as I go along. The [[Template:Infobox President]]s has a section for the order, and I am debating on whether to keep adding it or not, it is complicated since Colombia does not officially use any numeration for presidents like the United States does, so Alvaro Uribe is just the President of Colombia while George W Bush is the 43rd President of the United States, we can figure out which number is Uribe, but there are complications, since there were many [[Acting]] Presidents or [[Interim]] Presidents, not to mention [[Triumvirates]] or titles such as President of Congress in Charge of the Executive Power or Commander General of the Army in charge of the Executive, so, what do you think, should the practice of order numbers be used for Colombian Presidents, or just put, "President of Colombia" "President of the Grenadine Confederation" and so on?

Hello Fibonacci,

I am collaborating with Dr. Madelyn Flammia and Dr. Houman Sadri of the University of Central Florida in finding photographs to be use in a textbook they are developing titled Intercultural Communication &International Relations. Your image of the Muller-Lyer illusion found on the Wikipedia page [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:M%C3%BCller-Lyer_illusion.svg]] would fit well in their publication, and I was hoping I could have your permission to use it. The textbook is an academic publication and will be used for educational purposes. If you are willing to contribute your photograph, there is a simple permission form which needs to be filled out. Any assistance you can provide me for this project would be greatly appreciated, and I look forward to hearing back from you with your response.

Hi, Im wondering if you could help me with something,
After another user commented on the [[List of Presidents of Colombia]] on being too complicated to read and full of misleading information, which was true, it prompted me to take some action and attempt do some changes and clarifications, specially because its not just this page that has misleading, unclear information, but every page relating to one of our "presidents", their vice presidents, first ladies, government ministers, elections, and the general way Colombian history is told in wikipedia in relation to its leaders and constitutional stages, and by fixing this list it can provide a guideline to fix and edit the relating articles and help in the making of future ones. So after a lot of research I have made some adjustments focusing on the constitutional presidents, like it should be, in any case could you take the time to look over what I've done in [[User:Mijotoba/List of Presidents of Colombia]] and give me your [[User talk:Mijotoba/List of Presidents of Colombia|opinion, questions, and advice]], it's hard to find other users from the Colombian wikiproject who may be familiar with its crazy history, and I wanna make sure that Im getting enough feedback before I make the changes in the actual page.

Es de nuestro interés incluir la fotografía Yelow pitahaya, cuya imagen encontramos en Wikipedia. Esperamos su autorización, así como información de usted para la sección de biografías de los autores de las obras.

Le saludo cordialmente desde México.

Hi Fibonacci,

Just to let you know that the Featured Picture [[:File:Missing square puzzle.svg]] is due to make an appearance as [[Wikipedia:Picture of the day|Picture of the Day]] on March 9, 2013. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at [[Template:POTD/2013-03-09]].&nbsp;—&nbsp;[[User:Crisco 1492|Crisco 1492]] ([[User talk:Crisco 1492|talk]]) 23:15, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

== French country gender map ==

Almost a year ago now, a user pointed out on the '''[[Grammatical gender]]''' article's Talk page (see [[Talk:Grammatical_gender#The_French_countries.27_genders_map.|'''here''']]) that there is a mistake in this map. The United Kingdom is called "le Royaume-Uni" in French, and is therefore ''masculine'' in French, not feminine, as it is marked. While I realize that "la Grande-Bretagne" is a proper name for "Great Britain" in French, it actually is not a proper name for the whole country, as "Great Britain" does not include Northern Ireland, whereas "the United Kingdom" does. If you look at [[:fr:Royaume-Uni|'''this article''']] you will see from the first paragraph alone that French is just as strict as English in making this distinction.

Since I haven't a clue how to edit svg files, do you think you could change that one country's colour to green to indicate the name's French gender?

There is another thing you might consider: The map hasn't been updated to show the South Sudan (masculine, of course).

Thanks. [[User:Kelisi|Kelisi]] ([[User talk:Kelisi|talk]]) 05:50, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Fibonacci, some island in your SVG version, like Puerto Rico, is grey, while in the PNG version https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Pays_masculin_feminin.png , it’s masculine. Why they don’t have color?
Also, some countries’ gender in two versions are different. For example, Trinidad and Tobago, in the SVG version, is feminine, while in the PNG version , it’s masculine; Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in the SVG version, is masculine, while in the PNG version, is feminine.
Which version is correct? And why they’re different?
Also, Canada’s Pelee Island in Lake Erie, in the PNG version, is feminine. Strange. Do you know why?
Thanks for reading and answering my questions. [[User:Georgezh9617|Georgezh9617]] ([[User talk:Georgezh9617|talk]]) 10:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

== Hello senior Fibonacci! ==

There is a interesting article I'd like to work on, but it's complicated and the article were deleted in multible times, even it's a possible and needed one! The Titel is „Nontologie" (German language) or „Nontology" in English speach. In my conception the non-ontologic kind of science is only fokused in all about nothing, nothingness etc pp in a fundamental way and understanding and not to confuse or false interpretation in nihilistic order. In my opinion „nothing" is realy important caused by the fact its not existing then between positiv and negativ sources and represents only a empty source. Remember : 0=1+(-1)!  Maybe there is a way to get you into the boat of pro nontologic philosophers or scientists to establish or support the idea of Nontology , boarder science and pseydo religious - we believe in nothing! May it's a way out for all atheists to have religious possibilities!? There so many aspects of nontology and also multible paths in literation and media's, fewed from many angles in art and philosophy, different cultures and worldviews! Would you help to work on this project and so finding a place for the Nontology in history of knowledge!? I very please for, let me know fast, I hope the best!

== Files for [[Nazi concentration camp badge#Table of camp inmate markings|nazi concentration camp badges]] have incorrect colours ==

The files for the badges for jewish [[:File:Red triangle jew.svg|political prisoners (red)]], [[:File:Green triangle jew.svg|criminals (green)]], [[:File:Blue triangle jew.svg|emigrants (blue)]], [[:File:Purple triangle jew.svg|Jehovah's Witnesses (purple)]] and [[:File:Black triangle jew.svg|asocials (black)]]  seem to be missing thier respective coloured triangles and are instead just two yellow triangles.

== Could you please relicense 2 flags of the Russian regions you made to CC0? ==

I know this page is abandoned but I'll take my chance.

See the discussion here: https://github.com/fonttools/region-flags/issues/58. We are working to cover 100% of regions in the world with flag images (later used for emojis), but we can only use public domain images.

Would you agree with relicensing 2 of your flags listed in the last comment there? If you'll refuse, I'll have to redraw them from scratch myself, and I am not a good artist. [[User:Carbon-Starlight|Carbon-Starlight]] ([[User talk:Carbon-Starlight|talk]]) 21:49, 5 July 2025 (UTC)
