re: Maps for the Rambot articles. I've been generating those individually by myself. There's nothing fancy to it; I just take the county maps which already existed (they were generated from a public domain source), and use a simple image-editing program to place the dots in the correct place based upon Mapquest maps. Once I'm able to buy my laptop back, I'll be at that project again full force. I'm hoping that should be within the next few weeks.
One thing about New England states, though, is that towns tend to be space-filling up there. I don't know if that's the case in Connecticut. If it is, something more in line with the Vermont town maps generated by User:Redjar (see, for instance Addison, Vermont) might be appropriate. Feel free to ask if you have any more questions. I'm probably going to steer clear of doing New England town for a while because of precisely such complications. -- Seth Ilys 23:17, 1 May 2004 (UTC)

Might you please consider adding yourself to Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Cartographers - Gaz 13:39, 10 May 2004 (UTC)
Thanks for the compliments on my auto diagrams! I have sort of gone nuts with the detail, which I am starting to regret, because now I'm not entirely sure how to clearly render that detail. After creating the engine block and pistons, I had to spend a couple more hours tweaking the model in order to show what's actually going on. That power steering unit is fairly complete, but damned if I know how to show the inside of it so that people can understand how it works. Anyhow, I'm glad you like them. There is an animation of Four-stroke cycle, by the way (linked next to the image captions). -- Wapcaplet 21:29, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

List of emergency special sessions of the United Nations General Assembly
Thanks for compiling this list! - I was planning on doing it myself, but you beat me to it :D. Did you manually research everything yourself? Or did you use a particular source? I am planning on doing on of these for the non-emergency special sessions - and eventually all of the standard sessions... I will be greatful for any advice. --[[User:OldakQuill|Oldak Quill]] 14:16, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
Apprentice 2 vfd listings
Hi Plutor. About the separate listing for all the Apprentice 2 contestants, I did that since in the past there have been times when multiple articles were listed together and it caused problems -- people would say "Well, all except A and B" or "All but C" or "Only D" etc. Listing them separately causes its own hassles as you know. Oh well! <shrug> Wile E. Heresiarch 05:08, 25 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Dot project
I don't think I've ever mentioned this to you, but the source county images for the dot-project have all been multi-licensed by James F. and Wapcaplet into the CC-by license. I am asking all of the dot-project contributors to multi-license their dot-project images under this license as well, which just requires simple permission. Would you be agreeable to doing this? I will use the rambot to update the copyright tags in the same way that it updated the tags in the source county images. Thanks! – Ram-Man (comment (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=User_talk:Ram-Man&action=edit§ion=new)) (talk)[[]] 21:31, Dec 16, 2004 (UTC)

Greetings. I just started the Wikipedia:Image recreation requests project, and I thought you might be interested. Your help would be greatly appreciated. (I got your name from the list at Wikipedia:Wikipedians/Cartographers.) Best regards, – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 03:20, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)
