2602:. That article introduces the "KAF 39000" but then appears to mistakenly refer to it as "KAF 3900" next before changing back to "KAF 39000" for the last two references. This may have been the source of the confusion. The size of the detector mentioned in that article appears to be slightly off. It states 36mm x 48mm (assuming the dimensions are the "active area") while the actual value of the active area is 36.8mm x 49mm. The actual value of the active area should be 1803.2 mm and the diagonal should be 61.28mm. The other derivative graphics also get these numbers wrong. I am convinced now that the images are in error and should be updated. I will post messages on their talk pages and perhaps even fix them myself if time allows. I'm pretty busy right now and may not get a chance for a few weeks though. Thanks again for your input. 2272:"This trip involved many fantastic contrasts. From the icy cold of the Poles (-50 C wind chill factor at the South Pole) to the blistering heat of Africa (+128 F / +54 C in Sudan). From stable democracies in Norway and Finland to Communist USSR in disarray to repressive African dictatorships. From the crowded and bustling streets of Cairo to the empty deserts in northern Africa to the Arctic wastelands. From the abject poverty of Sudan to the elegant and luxurious Blue Train in South Africa. From the shaft of a gold mine two miles below the Earth's surface to the South Pole, 10,000 feet above sea level." 2085:, one of the greatest documentaries of all time, ends up presenting a significant point of view regarding the causes of the war, as it is clearly written to emphasize the historical perspective that the war was caused by slavery. Significant disagreement exists among historians on that point - not that anyone doesn't believe slavery was part of it, but there are historians who feel that it is merely one part of a larger conflict. Does the fact that Burns' film took a clear position in this debate mean that it is "political tripe masquerading as a documentary?" 1382: 1541: 2384:

included in the opening paragraph? It was a cited fact, and I think that Westergaard's intentions in creating the cartoon should be indicated, while retaining the original cause of the offence. I'm happy to accept that such citations shouldn't go in the lead paragraph, but it seems strange, given that this arguably presents a more accurate version of events.

It says Willie was "trying to earn som baht to get out of the country" (baht is the currency of Thailand), and Modesty tells him to meet her at a certain Hotel on a certain street, and both are in Bangkok. (I don't have the book here and I can't remember the exact names, but Google finds them in Bangkok.) 1673:. Good luck. (Although I think this has already been discussed a couple of times, and the general consensus is that they (the editors who are most interested in maintaining the Richard Dawkins article) don't want it, perhaps because they think it reduces the seriousness of Richard Dawkins' message and the whole situation of religion and its good and bad influences. -- 3328:.

than for his dislike of creationism. I don't think it's crucial, but the prominence of his atheism, both in the book and elsewhere, seems like something worth putting in the lead. But if your idea of bringing it to the talk page is probably a good one, so I'll do that. Please, provide input if you've an opinion!

this mistake has been propagated. I believe the actual model number is KAF 39000 however the physical dimensions for that one are different than those quoted in the graphic. In any case, I have not found a KAF 3900 product from Kodak. Do you remember where you got the information from to build this image?

2527:

quotes you are the original uploader of the image to the English Knowledge. The file was subsequently transfered to Commons and several other images have been based upon it. I believe that the model number (and possibly also the physical dimensions) for the Kodak KAF 3900 sensor is a mistake and that

I have no idea. My editing of the lead of the Wikileaks article was simply due to a feeling that this situation was important enough to be included in the lead.

Well, his entire way of doing this does not strike me as constructive. A brand-new account and he's off and running with a mission, and no explanation attached to his edits. Also, the guideline page you refer to says "except when it is the first reference in an article". I still think he's doing more

I agree with you re: the bot attacking the Modesty Blaise novel article image. Those bots (who are in fact stupid in the literal sense of the word) have completely turned me off even uploading images, yet along putting in the time and effort to "save" the images. One thing you might want to watch out

2543:

Sorry, that was all several years ago, and I can't remember anything about it. The version I made was a raster graphic in PNG format, if I remember right. Then someone scanned it and made an SVG version from the scan (really dumb thing to do), then someone else made an SVG the proper way by entering

1942:

I saw 'vocal atheist' as something hopefully acceptable to both - those who dislike Dawkins see it as pejorative, while those who like see it as testament to his passionate defense of the concept. Personally, I thought he over-reached a very good point, but I'm inclined to like him, if nothing else

I certainly think your image has been extremely valuable to Knowledge, and that it will be even more valuable in an accurate vectorized form... since it will be easier to update in case some new sensor format comes out, and since the vector version can be printed at any size without loss of

948:

Anyway, the SVG has been manipulated and now it's been rasterized. So we started with a crisp and exact (as exact as possible) raster graphic and end up with another raster graphic that is less exact (two conversion have been done, and each conversion introduces some error), not crisp (look at yours

As you know, the CPA had a web-site during the period of 2003 and 2004. Transcripts and press releases were posted on this website. I was unaware those Orders were available to the public - not until some disgruntled Wikipedian began posting links to them. I wonder why there are problems with CPA

1927:

Thanks for your message. But rather than ask me I think you should take it up on the talk page of the article. There are several other editors whose influence over that article is much greater than mine, and if you and the others think "vocal atheist" is suitable, so be it. To me it sounds negative

1911:

I'd say vocal atheist is definitely accurate, but should it be in the lead and is there a better wording? Would you prefer something less grating, or leaving it out completely? Dawkins' vigorous defence and promotion of atheism is highly relevant to the page, but I was torn about adding it in the

I, too, am not interested in destruction. I wish there was a better dialog between Muslims and the rest of the world.

1214:

You're right, I tried to turn off the anti-aliasing in the rendered SVG, and it looked awful. The reason the rasterized version is needed (for now) is because, although SVG really is great, MediaWiki's support for some features is not. In particular, MediaWiki cannot render flowed multi-line text

Re this last edit. The cite is fine, and there is no doubt about Saigon, mentioned several places, but why state (unreffed) this bit about Bangkok. I've recently reread quite a bit, and haven't found any sign of O'Donnel mixing it up. Bangkok is only mentioned as where Garvin learned his skills.

958:

Well, as I said, I'll go back and fix the rectangle dimensions to make them exact! Secondly, anyone who wants a dimensionally accurate version of the image should be looking at the vector SVG version, not the PNG version, so the inexactitude of the PNG version seems not too important to me.
