Orphaned non-free media (File:Freedom of the Hills 7th.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Freedom of the Hills 7th.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:03, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Mount McKinley B-class assessment

Hi, I was wondering if you could reassess Mount McKinley for B class for WikiProject Mountains, as I am working to get it to GA. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, HueSatLum 00:39, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

• Hi. I assessed this article twice before (2007 and 2010). I restored my previous assessment comments as they had been deleted on administrative grounds which I don't think it met. In any case, I have re-assessed it for 2013 and still can't quite give it B class. Hopefully my comments help you in improving this important topic. My biggest problem with it still is not having sufficient citations. May want to get a second opinion after further improvements just to get another person's perspective on article quality. RedWolf (talk) 21:12, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

OK, thanks for the review. I will get to work on your comments soon. HueSatLum 21:28, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

relief map vs RD map.....

good you're doing that, I've always been opposed to the use of RDs for geographic objects that are never classified that way.....a relief map where pushpins would work was not available before....Skookum1 (talk) 16:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

• I too never really liked use of the RD map but felt it was acceptable as an interim solution until the relief map came to fruition. RedWolf (talk) 20:43, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 9

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Waputik Mountains, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page George Dawson (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

bishop mtn dabs

that "British Columbia" dab was because of WPCANADA conventions, where the first instance or highest/most notable is dabbed by province first, then localities are used from there on in.....I'm fine with it, though, myself I prefer the specifity.Skookum1 (talk) 08:22, 17 June 2013 (UTC)

• I was tempted to use "North Shore Mountains" or "Coast Mountains" as the disambiguator (hmm, is that a word?) but since the other two were using the smaller subranges, I decided to make it consistent by using Fannin Range. I wasn't aware of the WPCanada conventions. RedWolf (talk) 04:58, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Uli Biaho may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "()"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it.

List of mountains by elevation

Hello, I'm Liz. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to List of mountains by elevation because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, you can use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 14:05, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

• Hi, If you looked closely at why I undid the previous edit, you would have seen the user simply copied the entire article and made a second copy of the list without the section headings. I really don't find this constructive, why do you? RedWolf (talk) 02:33, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Yes, my apologies, RedWolf. All I saw on STiki was that a large amount of text from a table was being deleted. It doesn't show that your act was a reversion of vandalism. Within an hour of my error, I was told by another user that I should never had reverted you, that you were a great Editor who did a lot of work on mountain topics. It was my mistake not to come to your Talk Page and remove this misplaced warning. I'm sorry. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 03:10, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Issues with user

I am having some issues with user:Dharmadhyaksha. We are having a debate/discussion about what in a certain article (Karna). However, he's been a little rude and dismissive, in my view violating wikipedia:No Personal Attacks and wikipedia:Etiquette. I think he should be given a warning for this behavior; I've unofficially warned him several times with no success. Am I being too sensitive, or does his attitude merit a warning?

You can follow our dialogue on the Karna talk page, the wikipedia DRN, and his talk page. Thanks. Pinkfloyd11 (talk) 17:31, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

Well... you don't have to warn me. I will consider myself sufficiently warned. I don't know how you are involved in it, but if you at all are, you might want to help your pleader a bit before i take him to ANI for the silly stuff he is doing around. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 17:39, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

• I do not know why I am being pulled into this discussion. I have never edited that article and do not believe I have ever even glanced at it until now. I have little interest in the subject matter and would not be able to aid in interpretations of source materials that seem to be one of the contentious issues from a quick look on the talk page. I will not be be making any edits/comments on this article (or its talk page). RedWolf (talk) 05:14, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Well... from the multiple reverts and unnecessarily long chunks of comments on talk page am sure it looks like "contentious" to many. But its hardly such; its a mythological character that won't rise from dead!! And its perfectly fine for you to not get into it. The user had already taken the issue on WP:DRN. §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {T/C} 06:21, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Is there a simplest possible way

Hello RedWolf, Your user page indicates a background in computer science and perhaps some knowledge of 3D data visualization. This is the Wikipedia table which would be nice to see as a 3D graph, can you think of any easy way? (x-axis is importance scale, y-axis is quality scale, and z-axis is the value from this table.) What is the simplest possible way?

BillMoyers (talk) 02:49, 15 December 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I am quite familiar with that table, looking at one a couple times a week for my main WikiProject. My knowledge of 3D data visualization techniques is however rather limited; it's just not in my areas of interest/expertise. Can't really be much help to you with that, sorry. I'd probably search the net to see if there's some free software out there that could help you with that but I've never had a need as yet for such software so cannot recommend any.
