Cats

Are you going to do more work on animal breeds? I can help out after things calm down in October or so. Aleta Curry 00:43, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Reference maker

Mary, do you use something like this to make references? I think there are others, but this is the one that I use. D. Matt Innis 03:04, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

Matt do I fill in the blanks (drop boxes) and this tool will automatically make the references for me? Please explain. I guess I am stuck in the CZ continuum where I will never escape. :-) Currently, I am doing as Milt advised and watching the article about John Mack evolve. Also, I checked Rational Wiki and discovered the Reuben sandwich article is of note with that wiki. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Enjoy the linky dink:[1] Mary Ash 21:52, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Government photos

Mary, thank you for your comments. However they are not fully representative of the facts. The original photographer must be attributed in all cases. Please see the comments on my talk page. --Chris Key 18:06, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Important: I am not an administrator nor an official on Citizendium

I am copying this here from my talk page as I think it is very urgent that you realise this.
I think it is very important that I clarify something. I am not an administrator on Citizendium. You may have seen the word 'Administrator' under my name on the forum, this is because I have administrative permissions on the forums in order to perform certain technical functions.
If you wish to contact an official on the site, I would suggest either contacting Larry Sanger who is the Editor-in-Chief (sanger@citizendium.org), unless the matter refers to an issue with the behaviour of a Citizen. In the latter case you should contact the Constabulary (constables@citizendium.org). For a legal or copyright issue such as this the Editor-in-Chief is the correct person to email. --Chris Key 19:58, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

Image:Russian Blue 001.gif was uploaded from Commons without correct real name of author

Left

The subject image was uploaded from Wikimedia Commons, using the pseudonym "Russkis" as the author. As can be seen here, the pseudonym of the original creator is MGA7. Looking at his user page discloses that he lives in Denmark and his first forename (given name) is Michael ... but his surname is not disclosed. I have posted a message on his user talk page here, asking him if he would give me his real surname and I am awaiting a response. If he should fail to respond or responds negatively, then regretfully the image will need to be removed from Citizendium. Milton Beychok 06:08, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

II honestly don't know if it is a potential cause of worry, but by leaving that note you have put your real name, your email address, and your IP address all together for all the Wikipedia vandals to have a look at (the IP address was filled in automatically for you when you commented over there without using the four tildes). Like I say, I am not computer-proficient enough to know if that is a security worry for you. David Finn 08:52, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
