Image Tagging Image:Location1stslovakia.png

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Location1stslovakia.png. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image 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 "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. cohesion★talk 19:33, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Antares

Where did you get your source for the change you made? Antares' diameter is over 900 million km, not 600 million. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-02-23 19:45

my astronomy Encyclopædia says it is about 600. True, the book is a bit dated (15 years, hmm, it is older than I thought), but my attention was drawn by differences between Polish and Italian wikipedias and the English one - Polish and Italian both claim 624×10⁶ km. I googled a bit, but I am hitting copies of english wikipedia everywhere so it is difficult to arrive at an authoritative source. And also by 1 E11 m entry. Anyway, English entry says "slightly more than the distance from the Sun to Mars", which is 228×10⁶ km. Huh. Italian wiki says "more or less the diametre of Jupiter's orbit" - which is 1556×10⁶ km. German says 624. Dutch wiki says something like "330 times the diametre of Sun", which would give about 460×10⁶ km. Spanish says "624×10⁶ km, a distance comparable to the distance of Mars' orbit from Sun". So if you have an authoritative up-to-date source, please clean up the mess, at least in the English wiki :-) rado 17:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

nasa.gov says the diameter is about 700 times the Sun's diameter, putting it at over 900 million km. — ₀₉₁₈^BRIAN • 2006-02-25 18:23

That page is from 1998 - anyway, measuring the size from apparent disc resolution is IMHO not very precise, certainly not to 1% uncertainty, as the 9.24 value suggests. Unless a better source appears, I am going to change the value to "over 9×10⁸ km". rado 20:54, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Galaksija and ZX Spectrum Audio

Actually you are not correct about the changes you recently made to the article. The only difference in that regard between ZX Spectrum and Galaksija is that ZX Spectrum had a built-in beeper and Galaksija did not have it in plans (one could add it though). Other than that, Spectrum's "MIC" and "EAR" connectors are dual-function cassette+audio ports, just like a single DIN is in Galaksija.

I will try to reword.

--Aleksandar Šušnjar 19:53, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I am not quite sure about the ZX Spectrum (my memory is failing, and I had just a clone), and the EAR and MIC were not equivalent - one of them drove both cassette and audio, one of them drove only cassette (or vice versa?). rado 20:47, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from user page

I have moved the following message here from your user page (placed there 10 May). Cheers, K issL 12:11, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rado, I chose you because your contributions suggested wide familiarity with Czech - Slovak languages.

I'm a poor and aging scholar from England much concerned with the theory of democracy.

I came across the article below and I think it is of great interest to me, but no one I know speaks the language and I cannot afford professional translation services.

Would you be willing to translate it for me?

In return I can offer very little except to explain how the Impossibility Theorems, with their implied attacks on democracy and rights are... well. in brief, totally wrong.

In the Cold War academics from both sides saw the theorems as having their uses. So 'torn between' as people in your country were, there may well have been some 'uses' of the theorems by foreign academics there at sensitive times. HARARE, 28. března] - Předák zimbabwského opozičního Hnutí za demokratickou změnu (MDC) Morgan Tsvangirai byl ve středu zatčen při razii, kterou policejní síly podnikly v sídle strany v hlavním městě Harare. Informovala o tom agentura Reuters.

Morgan TsvangiraiPodle generálního sekretáře strany Tendaie Bitiho bylo zadrženo ještě několik dalších představitelů hnutí.

"(Tsvangirai) byl zatčen," potvrdil Biti. Podle dalšího člena hnutí Eliphase Mukonoweshura byl Tsvangirai spolu s několika dalšími příslušníky MDC naložen do policejního antonu a pravděpodobně vzat do vazby. "Místo jejich pobytu zatím neznáme, nevíme ani, zda byli obviněni," dodal Mukonoweshuro.

Policejní jednotky předtím podle agenturních zpráv obklíčily sídlo strany v centru Harare a znemožnily komukoliv přístup do budovy.

Tsvangirai byl 13. března hospitalizován spolu s dalšími bezmála padesáti opozičními vůdci, kteří byli o dva dny dříve zatčeni na protivládním mítinku a při výsleších podrobeni mučení. Nemocnici opustil na kolečkovém křesle 16. března. Zřejmou vládní zvůli odsoudili přední světoví politici i organizace, včetně generálního tajemníka OSN, vysoké komisařky pro lidská práva Louise Arbourové, britského premiéra Tonyho Blaira nebo amerického prezidenta George Bushe.

Právě Spojené státy nejvíce volají po uvalení dalších sankcí na vládu Roberta Mugabeho, kterému je připisována hlavní zodpovědnost za potlačování svobod v této jihoafrické zemi, ale i za její katastrofální hospodářský stav. Třiaosmdesátiletý kontroverzní vůdce, který stojí v čele Zimbabwe od roku 1980, však ze současné neutěšené situace viní opoziční síly v zemi a západní státy, které je podporují.

K dalšímu ostrému zásahu Mugabeho režimu proti opozici dochází ve chvíli, kdy se do tanzanské metropole Dáresalámu sjíždějí představitelé 14 zemí sdružených ve Společenství pro rozvoj jižní Afriky (SADC) ke schůzce, která se má zabývat i nynější krizí v Zimbabwe. [TISCALI/ČTK] My email address is idamacintyre@btinternet.com. I live in Leicester in England and I'm in the phone book.

This is an awful lot to ask but can you help?

Best wishes,

Mac, (Dr. I. MacIntyre)
