Easter Bunny
[edit]Please do not think I am criticising your Easter Bunny photo from a photographic perspective. I agree with you that it is not featured image material, but I would like you to know that I have looked at your userpage images, and I think you have a terrific eye. You have more than a few pictures that you could rightfully submit for consideration. Go for it! Denni☯ 02:49, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)

[edit]Hello
Your Calabash.jpg image, Image:Calabash.jpg seems to have disappeared. Do you know what happened to it?

Hmm... the Image:Calabash.jpg page is still there. I've set a redirect on it to Image:Calebasse.jpg.

The reason I have nominated this is because it duplicates an image on Wikipedia Commons, so it is redundant on Wikipedia. Steve block talk 11:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Featured Picture Habanero photo
[edit]
- Congratulations on your Featured Picture Habanero photo (right). Interestingly, your Featured Picture Habanero photo looks very much like a famous wood carving of a man huddled into an almost cube shape. Looking at your Habanero photo, the man's head is the dark orange portion near the stem. You can see his ear reflecting the light. His back makes up the left side of the Habanero. His right arm is folded between his back and his right leg. His face is hidden in his hands by his right leg. His feet are crossed and he is resting on his bottom. The green stem may say something about the portability (controllability?) of a man huddling into himself against grief or sadness. I wanted to add your Habanero photo in a Wikipedia article next to an artwork showing a huddled man, but could not find the huddled man photo. This is not the wood carving I am thinking of, but its close and does look like your Habanero photo: link. -- Jreferee 18:25, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, just thought I would let you know that your picture of the Habanero is being discussed at Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Habanero delist. The topic of the discussion is if it should remain a feature picture. HighInBC (Need help? Ask me) 19:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for your notes. I agree with the delist request. Its one of my oldes images I ever uploaded and does not meet the FPC criteria anymore. I'll create a better image sometime. -- Regards, Aka 11:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

"PopUp" info for Global Search
[edit]Hi - I just came across your Global Search; it was mentioned on Wikipedia:Tools/Navigation popups. I thought it would be nice if PopUps showed an excerpt for external links, as it does for articles. Perhaps this can be done? A quick fix would be to create GlobalSearch and put in "This site allows for searching all major Wikipedia sites for articles with the given name, which is useful for building links between these Wikipedias." along with a link. --BenTremblay 22:40, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Page History Statistics
[edit]Regarding [1], could you please make your script support GET requests in addition to POST (see HTTP#Request_methods). I was going to replace the old wikimedia history statistics website in Voice of All's monobook with yours. However, with your website, I cannot retrieve individual article histories by typing it into the URL. Could you make it so that I can type an article title in the URL? This will allow me to make the necessary changes to User:Voice_of_All/History/monobook.js. I'm not too familiar with all this stuff, so I asked a friend to explain the whole thing to me, and I hope I've explained my problem to you. Thanks and if you have any questions, please contact me. Nishkid64 (talk) 19:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- It already supports GET requests. Just use something like http://vs.aka-online.de/cgi-bin/wppagehiststat.pl?lang=en&page=Test. -- Aka 20:11, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
- Oh okay. Thanks for the quick reply. I will make the appropriate fixes in the monobook now. Nishkid64 (talk) 20:30, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Aka's Page History Stats Tool
[edit]Is it possible to modify Aka's Page History Stats Tool so that the "unique editors" indication provides a percentage of IP addresses editing the article. Instead of reading "405 (158 IP addresses)", it would read "405 (158 (39%) IP addresses). Also, for the User Statistics, is it possible to list the total number of edits that user has on Wikipedia? I use Aka's Page History Stats Tool (along with wikirage.com) alot in my page protection work (to contact those with the most edits to a page and suggest that they review the page I just protected). I also use it alot in notifying those with the most interest in the article about a pending XfD. I've used it to give out awards to those contributing to help pages and policy pages and I've used Aka's Page History Stats Tool to post the template:maintained talk page template to those articles that have the most edits. Thanks for such a great tool. -- Jreferee (Talk) 17:26, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
- I'll include the percentage of IP addresses editing the article with the next update. The other change is currently nearly impossible to implement, but I plan to move this tool to the toolserver somewhere in the future. Then it can access the toolserver database and find out these things too. -- Aka 14:24, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

There you can find out more about project and utilize the forums etc. As a recipient I would request that you create yourself a profile and add five of your very best images (not necessarily 5 FP's - just five photos you think are your best) to the Guild Gallery. If you don't do this within 14 days of recieving this award I'll assume you'd rather I do it on your behalf. |

A request
[edit]Hi Aka, I love your page history checker, and have used it a lot. Just one request: would you consider keeping the English WP at the top of the list, so that we don't have to scroll down?

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference
[edit]Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.
On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer have them marked as minor by default.
For established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you are familiar with the contents of WP:MINOR, and believe that it is still beneficial to the encyclopedia to have all your edits marked as such by default, then this discussion will give you the details you need to continue with this functionality indefinitely. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.
Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 18:55, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

YAMP
[edit]Hast Du YAMP mal jenseits der Version 3.3 weiter entwickelt? Die CDDB-Funktion aktualisiert? --Manorainjan 13:07, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Nein, die letzte Version 3.3 ist sicherlich auch schon 25 Jahre alt und ich habe keine Ahnung, ob die auf aktuellen Windows-Versionen überhaupt noch läuft. Das Programm war mal relativ populär, aber das ist eben schon ewig her. Ich habe nicht vor, da noch irgendetwas dran zu machen. -- Gruß, Aka (talk) 13:22, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Schade. Auf meinem Win7Pro läuft es einwandfrei. Lediglich bei Versuch CDDB abzufragen friert es ein. Du könntest doch im einfachsten Falle eine Version 3.4 machen, in der die CDDB-Funktion einfach nicht aktivierbar ist. Freedb --Manorainjan 14:59, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
- Wenn das mit vertretbarem Aufwand gehen würde, würde ich dir gerne helfen. Aber: das Programm ist mit einer Uraltversion von Delphi programmiert (Version 2, wenn ich mich richtig erinnere), die es schon lange nicht mehr gibt. Um das mit einer aktuellen, 25 Jahre neueren Version übersetzen zu können, sind vermutlich mehr als nur ein paar Anpassungen notwendig. -- Gruß, Aka (talk) 15:05, 5 May 2021 (UTC)
