[edit] Don't forget the snippy comment

-- carol 18:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean? You mean about QI candidate picture? --Laitche 18:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I appreciate the strike out. Seriously. And, I do not even have to stretch my imagination that much to consider that the jade cup is the sarcastic comment but the strike out and the snippy comment about the rules should appear together in the archive, don't you think? -- carol 18:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I can't understand. "the strike out" means what? What is "the snippy comment"? And which rules? which archive? You mean QIs rules and archive? Sorry, I'm not so good at English then I can't see. --Laitche 19:05, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

"The jade cup" has something special meaning in English? --Laitche 19:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Jaded which was actually difficult for me to read as it is my native language and I know this term via context; I prefer the second of the two definitions provided and cringed (am still cringing, even) at the etymology. My first web site with my name on it had this word featured predominantly on the web page which I outlined my on again off again love affair with computers and also, one of the first two of GIMPs web site makers Adrian had his own little something with that word also -- which I don't know if that was before I communicated with him (via irc) or after. If you would like a third apology, I am very very sorry about the etymology of the word jaded. -- carol 12:13, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your explanation. Well, I'm not sure that I got it or not, anyway I don't mind then you never mind :) -- Laitche 14:04, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

• I fear that carol has mis-read the QIC page history, and thinks that you struck out her second oppose vote on "Clementines whole, peeled, half and sectioned", whereas it was User:Dschwen [1]. Maybe an appology will be forthcoming :-) --Tony Wills 19:56, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I see. Thanks Tony :) -- Laitche 20:06, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry that the jade cup seemed to fit with the drama at that discussion area! If you don't have a snippy comment about the whole ordeal here today by now, I can also be sorry about that. Two apologies for nothing in the first place. -- carol 21:44, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't mind. Never mind :) -- Laitche 22:17, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Houses in Shirakawa-go

Hi Laitche. You criticized that the description of Image:Shirakawa-go houses 2.jpg was not accurate. In my understanding, the souvenir shop is not different to other houses in Shirakawa-go (website), even though it is used as an souvenir shop now. But you are wright, I can't read Japanese and I might have tried to find better houses for a picture. However, this would not have been easy as there were people everywhere and also cars and pylons. You are highly welcome to specify or extend the description or add a Japanese version of the image description of the mentioned photograph (also for my other picture). --Leyo 11:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Leyo, That is not a criticism :) I thought the meaning of those phrases does not meet the image, that's just my opinion then I didn't oppose. I know what you mean, that is not easy to take a good picture at that place. I added some Japanese information to your images. -- Laitche 12:23, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for adding a Japanese description in both images. --Leyo 12:56, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Butterfly Reset

Dear Laitche, there where some concerns by Dori that i did mayor changes while fixing the posterization spoken by Laitche and Alvesgaspar. I did small changes in the lower right corner which is a tad lighter now. To make shure everything is going correctly i kindly asking you if you can vote again and would be very thankful.

[edit] 何がしたいのか…

ちょっと止めてもらえないですかね？意図してのことか気付いていないのか知りませんが。私のノートでアップロードに関してあなたが礼儀に言及した通り、こちらでも「礼儀」は重要かと思いますが。

Will you be trying to fix?→あなたは修正するつもりですか？

• （まだ随分修正箇所があるのに、それでも）修正するつもりですか？　と聞いたんです。

What's that distortion? Perspective? It's aim of this in, isn't it?→何のdistortionのことを言っているのか？パース？パースはこの写真での見せ方じゃない？

• それは分かってました。　パースと言えばパースですが、構図的な歪み（Image guidelinesのページに記載してあるDistortionsの事です。）が好きじゃなかったので。。。　写真の見せ方は撮る人の好みの問題と思いますので良い悪いは一概には言えないと思います。　それに、あの写真に反対はしてません。

「最低限の英語と弁えを覚えましょう」たったこれだけの事です。以後気をつけましょう。--Fukutaro 13:06, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sewing

Sorry about all the discussion about the William Adolphe Beugeareux painting. If it doesn't pass because of the confusion, I promise to renom it. Nice work on the last version, by the way, though I'm still inclined to tweak saturation up a tad. Adam Cuerden 14:45, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Your rose is beautiful but a bit too dark. What do you think of this version? - Alvesgaspar 08:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I thought so too, but I think the white part(the flower) of the nomination version is the best. Although, even now I think the background is too dark, but I didn't want to light up only the background then I didn't do so. Thanks for your opinion. :) -- Laitche 15:46, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FPC nominations names

May y ask you to give exactly the image name to the FP nominations, instead of some other name? It makes closing much easier! -- Alvesgaspar 20:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• I'm always naming exactly the image name to the FP nominations like as this page. I'm just changing the title of the section, like this => [[:Image:Rose Geranium.jpg|Pelargonium graveolens]]. Then you can close the nomination by same way as other nominations. :) -- Laitche 21:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
• Anyway, thanks for closing FP nominations every day. :) -- Laitche 22:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

• • The problem is I cannot copy the image name directly from the FPC list, I have to open the picture file (or the nomination section) to see its correct name. Not really serious, but makes the closing process longer and more prone to error -- Alvesgaspar 15:35, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Okay, I got it. I will stop changing the title of the section. :) -- Laitche 15:49, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Request to translate Valued Image project launch announcement to Japanese

Hi Laitche, I am contacting you because you are a native Japanese speaking user, which I have great respect for. I do not know if you have heard of or in any way followed the development of the Valued images project since the beginning of the year? We are now making the final preparations to go on the air on June 1, 2008 0:00 UTC. Our preparations can be followed here: Commons talk:Valued images candidates. Among several to-dos we would like to make an announcement on the most major sister projects, among these the Japanese Wikipedia. I was wondering if you could help us out with a translation to Japanese? And if not, try to delegate the task to another native Japanese users. Thanks in advance, -- Lycaon 22:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

• Hi Lycaon, I'm asking to my friend. If she couldn't I will try. -- Laitche 05:34, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

• OK, I have thanked her there. Cheers, -- Slaunger 19:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi again. The time is now right to publicize the announcement on ja.wikipedia on the village pump, FPC talk and graphics lab talk pages (I do not know if ja hass all of these). Is that something you could do for us? If you do not feel like it or do not have the time, could you delegate the task to another user. Please, report back here. -- Slaunger 23:24, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

Dashimaki(the yellow one), Mackerel(the roast fish), Rice, Tofu(the white cubes) with soy sauce and toppings(Negi and Katsuobushi), Tsukemono(cucumber and pickling melon and turnip), Green tea, toothpicks, I guess the black cup is miso soup.

[edit] Russian offices in Japan

Hi Laitche, I have a somewhat unusual request for assistance which you may be able to help with, maybe not. On English Wikipedia, I am working on an article/list of Diplomatic missions of Russia and I am in need of photos of:

• Embassy of the Russian Federation in Japan, 1-1, Azabudai; 2-chome, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan, 106-0041
• Consulate General of the Russian Federation, Toyonaka-shi, Nishi Midorigaoka 1-2-2, Osaka-fu, Japan, 560-0005
• Consulate General of the Russian Federation, FAI-BIRU, 1-20-5, SASAGUCHI, Niigata, Japan, 950
• Consulate General of the Russian Federation, 826, Nishi 12-chome Minami 14-jo, Chuoku, Sapporo, Japan, 064-0914

Might you be in the position to be able to help with photos of these missions? Or perhaps you can point me towards someone who may be able to help with these photos? Any assistance you can give would be appreciated. Cheers --Russavia (talk) 04:16, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

• Sorry I can't. I am very busy recently and those places are very far from the place where I live in. -- Laitche (talk) 05:36, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Valued image nomination

Hi there. It doesn't have to be your own pic, it doesn't even have to be the work of a Commoner (unlike QI candidates). As soon as a Commons picture fulfils the criteria, it can be nominated. Regards, --Eusebius (talk) 09:36, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

• OK, I will renominate it. -- Laitche (talk) 10:50, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
