'''Albert Finney''' (born [[9 May]] [[1936]]) is a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[actor]]. He has received five [[Academy Awards]] nominations.
His most famous role was as [[Agatha Christie]]'s master detective [[Hercule Poirot]] in the 1974 film "Murder On The Orient Express." Finney was so effective in the role that he complained that it typecast him for a number of years. "People really do think I am 300 pounds with a French accent" he said.
==Himalayas==
Please please please, tell me you have some good Himalayan pics that you can add to articles. We have plenty of Europe and US mountain pictures, but almost nothing in Asia. [[User:Stan Shebs|Stan]] 07:04, 3 Nov 2003 (UTC)
He was born in [[Salford]], [[Manchester]], [[England]].
: image uploading is disabled, so this is a bit academic ... [[User:Mfc|mfc]] 21:33, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)
His first film was [[The Entertainer]] ([[1960]]), but his real breakthrough came with his portrayal of a disillusioned [[factory]] worker in [[Karel Reisz]]'s film of [[Alan Sillitoe]]'s ''[[Saturday Night and Sunday Morning]]''. This led to a series of "angry young man" roles in [[kitchen sink drama]]s, most notably [[1963]]'s ''[[Tom Jones (movie)|Tom Jones]]'' (for which he turned down the role of [[T. E. Lawrence]] in ''[[Lawrence of Arabia (film)|Lawrence of Arabia]]''). Albert Finney has often been called "A second Olivier".
:: I do have some nice pictures of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Ama Dablam, Cholatse, Pumori, Imja Tse. However, I'm not sure yet if I want them to be put under GFDL. -- RedWolf, Nov 7/03 12:10am
His [[television]] roles include the lead in [[Dennis Potter]]'s final two plays: ''[[Karaoke (play)|Karaoke]]'' and ''[[Cold Lazarus]]''. In the latter he played a frozen, disembodied head. His most recent [[Television|TV]] credit is the leading role in [[My Uncle Silas]], about a [[Cornwall|Cornish]] country gentleman, who's looking after his grand-nephew. It ran from [[2000]] until [[2002]], then again for a mini-series in [[2003]].
:There's little reason not to license them unless you're planning to make a living by selling copies of the pictures, and your income would be cut into by having copies available on the net. [[GFDL]] is just a license that permits use by WP and downstream publications, while you retain copyright and ownership and credit. In fact, WP is a great way to get a large audience for the photos; its traffic is comparable to Britannica Online now, and growing. I figure that at some point, photographers are going to be contributing pics just to get some greater visibility for their work! [[User:Stan Shebs|Stan]] 06:26, 7 Nov 2003 (UTC)
From [[1970]] to [[1978]], he was married to the [[France|French]] actress [[Anouk Aimée]].
::What I've done is only put tiny (300 pixel wide) photos under the [[GFDL]]. I figure no harm done --- small photos like that have no commercial value. -- [[User:Hike395|hike395]] 05:17, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)

== Kilimanjaro ==
Interested in climbing kili? Be sure to get a good guide. I climbed it in 1999 and had some trouble with a guide who didn't know the way (You need a guide by law to climb kili)
I wrote up my story of it if youre interested: [http://www.seabhcan.com/kili_files/kilistry.htm Kili Climbing Story]

:Hi. Interesting story of your climb. Sounds to me like that might have been the first time, not the 10th time for your "guide". We are considering the Machame or Rongai routes, the Marangu (Coca-cola route) was discarded a while back by us. I've done a lot of scrambling in my days and a bit of glacier travel. I'd give more consideration to some of the more demanding routes but the other person is not quite up to that. You sure didn't leave much time for acclimatization. I spent two nights in a tent at nearly 5100m in Nepal and while not easy I was comfortable after being above 4,000m for 9 days. RedWolf 04:10, Apr 24, 2004 (UTC)

::Ya. The guide was a bit of a chancer allright. There is a problem with kili guides in that most of the best known guide companies are based in kenya but Tanzanian law forbids kenyans from guiding on Kili. The kenyan companies will find you a tanzanian guide, but you really have to trust them to trust him. Tanzanians can guide on mount kenya, however. The Machame and Rongai routes aren't (If I'm remembering right - its been a number of years) much more than tough hikes, and I didn't have experience of anything more technical at the time. Also, 5100m in Nepal is far more difficult than the same height at the equator. Its to do with the Coriolis effect - the atmosphere is thicker at the equator and so the percentage of oxygen at a particular height is more. Good luck with your trip - and dont eat the salad!

Greetings! Saw your Kilimanjaro post on the user page. I was just wondering if you've made any plant to this end, and had any ideas on the timeframe and such for the climb? I'm most definitely interested, sounds like it would be fun. [[User:Metlin|Metlin]] 12:22, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)

==Offline report update==
Howdy. I noticed that you've updated [[Wikipedia:Offline reports/Is this really a stub?]] and wanted to ask if you used a [[User:Topbanana/Reports/Scripts/Create Link Analysis Database|Link Analysis Database]], and if so did you experience any problems? I'd appreciate any feedback you have. - [[User:Topbanana|TB]] 10:48, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
:Hi. Yes, I built a Link Analysis Database under Mac OS X. The database load took just over one hour and running the analysis script took about 2 hours I believe. Your comment say the analysis script takes 10 hours to run which makes me wonder a bit if I did everything correctly (I'm attributing it to faster system speed at the moment). The result count for the above report seemed to be comparable to what was there before. I just looked at the script run and noticed a few issues: extract_links.sql did not run. I guess I should re-run the analyze - what do you do to clear out the previous analyze run? Manually drop all the tables?
:I didn't really run into any significant issues. I did write a quick C program to generate the extract scripts although I don't quite understand the deal with adjusting the "pos". One question I have is what do you do when you want to load a fresh database dump? Create a new database or just truncate/drop the existing tables? [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 17:07, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
:: Glad to hear it worked - the script ''should'' take 1-2 hours to run on a modern PC, the 10 hours thing looked to me to be a bug in the MySQL optimiser, it was just plain refusing to use a perfectly good index. The 'pos' column is there to handle the lack of iterators (for, while, repeat etc) in MySQL 4.1 - a nasty hack that should vanish along with the need for the repetative 'extract_xxx.sql' scripts when version 5 arrives. To rebuild, I create a new database and start afresh each time. Any problems please do shout. - [[User:Topbanana|TB]] 18:54, Aug 6, 2004 (UTC)
== Article Licensing ==
Hi, I've [[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|started a drive]] to get users to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all of their contributions that they've made to either (1) all U.S. state, county, and city articles or (2) all articles, using the [[Creative Commons]] Attribution-Share Alike (''CC-by-sa'') v1.0 and v2.0 [[Creative Commons License|License]]s or into the [[public ___domain]] if they prefer. The ''CC-by-sa'' license is a true free documentation license that is similar to Wikipedia's license, the [[GFDL]], but it allows '''other projects''', such as [[WikiTravel]], to use our articles. Since you are among the [[Wikipedia:List_of_Wikipedians_by_number_of_edits|top 1000]] Wikipedians by edits, I was wondering if you would be willing to multi-license all of your contributions or at ''minimum'' those on the geographic articles. Over 90% of people asked have agreed. For More Information:
*[[User talk:Ram-Man#Multi-Licensing FAQ|Multi-Licensing FAQ]] - Lots of questions answered
*[[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|Multi-Licensing Guide]]
*[[User:rambot#Free the Rambot Articles project|Free the Rambot Articles Project]]
To allow us to track those users who muli-license their contributions, many users copy and paste the "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" template into their user page, but there are other options at [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User namespace#Licensing Templates|Template messages/User namespace]]. The following examples could also copied and pasted into your user page:
:'''Option 1'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions, with the exception of my user pages, as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
'''OR'''
:'''Option 2'''
:<nowiki>I agree to [[Wikipedia:Multi-licensing|multi-license]] all my contributions to any [[U.S. state]], county, or city article as described below:</nowiki>
:<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>
Or if you wanted to place your work into the public ___domain, you could replace "'''<nowiki>{{DualLicenseWithCC-BySA-Dual}}</nowiki>'''" with "'''<nowiki>{{MultiLicensePD}}</nowiki>'''". If you only prefer using the [[GFDL]], I would like to know that too. ''Please let me know'' what you think at my '''[[User talk:Ram-Man|talk page]]'''. It's important to know either way so no one keeps asking.

== Geo-stubs ==
Hi RedWolf -
I've been busy moving generic geo-stubs into their subcategories (Africa-geo-stub, UK-geo-stub, etc). Seems that every time I move a few from the category, you move a few new ones in (particularly African ones). Can I ask you to please put them into their subcategories? Cheers, [[User:Grutness| Grutness]]|<sup>[[User_talk:Grutness|hello?]]</sup> [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]] 03:15, 17 Jan 2005 (UTC)
:Usually happens when I change <nowiki>{{stub}}</nowiki>. Africa? Perhaps Antartica. I don't see a stub category for that continent. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 03:20, Jan 17, 2005 (UTC)
::Most recent one I dealt with was [[Amguid crater]], in Algeria. [[User:Grutness| Grutness]]|<sup>[[User_talk:Grutness|hello?]]</sup> [[Image:Grutness.jpg|25px|]]
:::Oh yea, forgot I had done some cleanup on Algeria. I wasn't really aware that the geo-stub has been split itself. Now that I know I'll start to use the more specific ones. Perhaps there should still be one for Antarctica? [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 01:46, Jan 18, 2005 (UTC)
::Thanks - you're right, there probably should be an Antarctica one. At the moment I'm looking through generic geo-stubs seeing what countries/regions have the most stubs. Antarctica and Indonesia look like the two most likely to need their own sections next - each have about 100. Geo-stub still exists as a category, but there were over 4000 stubs in there - far too many to wade through for a quick look. I'm trying to get it down to about 1000 with the rest bundled away into subcategories, some of which have been around for a while, but most of which were virtually empty. All the ones that currently exist are listed in a table at the top of [[:Category:Geography stubs]].

== Mountain pics ==
Thanks for uploading so many ''great'' mountain pics to Wikipedia! Is it much of burden to carry a good camera with you when you're mountain climbing? I've never climbed anything bigger than a hill, but I imagine any extra weight - especially the fragile kind - would be unwelcome.
I'm glad your wikistress is going down a bit. All the best! – [[User:Quadell|Quadell]] <sup>([[User_talk:Quadell|talk]]) ([[User:Quadell/Request for assistance|help]])</sup> 21:16, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
:Yea, you definitely try to keep the weight down as much as possible. In the mountains, it's always best to be prepared, so carrying emergency items is a pain weight wise but I can live with that. Until one has to carry several litres of water in their pack for hours, does one realize how heavy water really is. As for the camera, I used to take a metal body Mamiya with a metal body telephoto lens for many years. I finally switched to a lightweight Canon Rebel and telephoto lens and definitely noticed the difference.
:It helps to reduce stress when one finally gets bit of nice weather in the winter. While Atlantic Canada and NE USA were dealing with snow on the weekend, we finally had a nice sunny day with temps rising to near freezing (that's mild for us at this time of year).

== User IDs ==
Even if all you have is User IDs and you can't get the name, it would still be very useful to have the list of images grouped by User ID.

:Big problem overall here. I only download the current revision of the database so after tagging images, the current revision no longer contains the original uploader id.

==Mt Damavand image and others==
The image is fairuse, merely because I know the photographer, and I wish his name to be given credit for. I'm doing this because I dont want other websites to take these images, and claim copyrights for them, without even using the photographer's name, which seems to be the case already. Afshain Bakhtiari works for Iran's Cultural Heritage Organzation, an official Iranian government organization that publishes such images for publicity purposes. I have done photography for them as well, and I can tell you that they are not concerned with Copyright issues, especially for non-proprietary reasons, like this Encyclopedia. They only care about the dissemination of Iran's proper image, especially outside Iran's borders.
I also saw copies of this picture on the web. However, Afshin is the photographer of this picture, and therefore all other images you see on the web are copies of this. I scanned this particular image from a hard copy myself that I have at my resource. That is why the colors seem a bit sharper than those on the web.
In fact, The Iranian Cultural Heritage Organization gives you these images for free, if they know you will use them for academic purposes. Which I gather this is. Isnt it?--[[User:Zereshk|Zereshk]] 20:46, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:Hi. If re-writing a copyvio, please use the temporary page as indicated in the copyvio text. Updating the original article text causes more work for administrators because the copyvio must still be deleted from the article's history. By using the Temp page for the re-write, the original article with the copyvio in it's history can be deleted and the Temp re-write can replace it. In that way, no copyvio in the history. It just makes life easier for admins if the copyvio process is followed as explained. Nothing really get messed up but the page history doesn't accurately reflect the article's edit history. That's why I copied it to the talk page before deleting it. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 04:08, Mar 6, 2005 (UTC)

You said for [[:Image:Finnmark kart.png]]: ''Images moved to Commons cannot be speedy deleted.'' I have uploaded an improved version of this image (and 18 related images) to the commons. Do I need to go through the ifd process for these? Sounds a wee bit silly, if you ask me. After all, I uploaded these myself.
We may soon be in the situation where we will have around 100 coats of arms for [[Municipalities of Norway]] which will be obsoleted by better images on the commons. Does all of there 100 images need to go through ifd? -- [[User:Egil|Egil]] 07:24, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:just list them all together on ifd with one discription of why they are obsolete and let them be deleted if noone objects. the problem we had was people were copying images to commons and speedying them here and we were losing source information in the process.

:Hi. To move a category, one creates a category by the new name and then changes the category of the articles in the old category to the new one. The move of articles is typically done by bots but can be done manually as well. Go ahead and create the new category yourself and populate it.

== GIF version of PNG not a speedy deletion candidate? ==
Hi RedWolf. I noticed you didn't think [[:Image:C-moe.gif]] was a candidate for speedy deletion.

:Technically "all the bits are the same" is not true when different image formats are involved.

== Korean Ceramics vs Pottery ==
I noticed you changed a category on the Korean Pottery page from Korean Ceramics to Pottery. This has been a subject of discussion with the Korean contributors who are apparently just beginning a long series of articles on clay products and history. They seem to strenuously object to the word pottery being applied to any clay object other than wheel produced work. And they insist that ceramics is the only term for Korean ware.
Another contributor and I have been writing them notes, trying to convince them that we are not vandalizing their work by changing the titles and categories to help people find their emerging articles. If you would look at the Pottery discussion, the Korean Pottery discussion and the Korean user's discussion pages( [[POofYS]] ), you will get a whiff of this apparent cultural misunderstanding. I've tried to assure them that once they get their articles into Wiki - we'll construct a clay oriented tree which will deal with some/all of their concerns. In the meantime -- I am going to add their Korean Ceramics category back and keep the Pottery one as well. Anything you can do to smooth these fussy waters would be good - as we would benefit from good Korean information on this subject. Comments welcome. [[User:WBardwin|WBardwin]] 07:31, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
:Thanks for responding. The Korean people (junior government functionaries, I think) will strenuously object when they come back -- usually at several day intervals. I think they might be responsible for a number of other sketchy Korean articles as well. I'm relatively new and I don't check the deletion questions. And I'm afraid they don't understand Wiki enough to even know there is a voting mechanism. If we can keep it for them, I think it would be better in the long run.

::Well, I'm not going to create it again myself. If it does get created again, the correct name would be [[:Category:Ceramics of Korea]] to follow convention of avoiding the adjective form which causes issues. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 07:49, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)

Red Wolf, wait up: this sneaky little rat Albanau redirected the [[Origin of Albanians]] article to this blank page, and now the blank page is being deleted. The article Origin of Albanians was a legitimate article. [[User:Decius|Decius]] 08:53, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
This is vandalism of the First Order, and this calls for [[User:Albanau]] to be banned. [[User:Decius|Decius]] 08:54, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
See the bottom of [[User talk: Cyrius]] also, where Albanau's previous actions are discussed. [[User:Decius|Decius]] 08:56, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)
