:Hi Martin, when you go through the upload process there is a pretty good step by step guide.  however, i just discovered that it has not been completed with respect to the public domain content (drop down menu does not have correct options.  i will look into improving that option.  Meanwhile just look at the notes I added for the [http://en.citizendium.org/wiki?title=Image:Socrates_and_Plato.jpg&action=edit plato socrates picture].  I am unsure if I did it 100% correctly and there are a lot of gaps with respect to the background info on the picture.  It's a start though.

I contribute to citizendium as I got banned from wikipedia for disruptive editing. I still edit at wikipedia, and have tried with various aliases and proxies, but they always hunt me down. I don't understand their problem. Fortunately, citizendium is far more accommodating and allows me to write whatever i wish with no checks and balances. At least, no one has deleted any of my stuff yet. Chris Day 21:44, 3 November 2008 (UTC) OK, I admit it, thats all lies. :) I'll have to think a bit. Chris Day 21:46, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip!

That looks very useful.

Yes, thanks for the advice. Sorry we had that discussion on Greg's page, though. --Russell D. Jones 16:12, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Years

Hi Chris, I need your help with {{Years}}, such that it works properly via {{years}} for pagenames like 2006 and via {{years|1984}} for pagenames like 1984 (year). I think I am close but I do not see how to address the page name itself, and I have to go offline now. Thanks! --Daniel Mietchen 19:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

See the edit I just made. Does that fix it? Chris Day 19:51, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that was it - thanks. --Daniel Mietchen 20:10, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Morton National Park, and stuff

Chris, thanks for helping with the metadata pages. As you probably guessed, I was having a bug* of a day and kept getting interrupted.

Re Fitzroy Falls, that sure looks like it. Great photo, thanks!

Renaming images

Hi Chris, I noticed the typo in the name of Image:ComparitiveBrainSize.jpg but didn't see how to rename the file. Is there a way to do this without re-uploading it? Thanks, --Daniel Mietchen 20:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure you will have to upload the image again. Is that a problem? Chris Day 23:13, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Philosophy strategies

Thanks for your feedback, Chris.

BTW -in passing your fine images above! - can you tell me how I can upload the image (of Plato and Socrates) indicated as needing uploading on the Plato page? I'm not the creator or copyright owner, I undestand it is 'outside copyright' (it is also on WP Commons)? Any advice would be appreciated.

Hi Martin, when you go through the upload process there is a pretty good step by step guide. however, i just discovered that it has not been completed with respect to the public domain content (drop down menu does not have correct options. i will look into improving that option. Meanwhile just look at the notes I added for the plato socrates picture. I am unsure if I did it 100% correctly and there are a lot of gaps with respect to the background info on the picture. It's a start though. Chris Day 03:38, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
If I may add a commment, Wikimedia Commons images can indeed be uploaded into CZ ... but only if you can find or obtain the real name of the original uploader. The CZ file upload Wizard states that quite clearly. Hope this helps, Milton Beychok 03:57, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
