The Messages

Re: Talk page blanking

I've responded on my talk page (as I generally do). And I'm pretty sure it's typical for a candidate's "apologists" to debate those in opposition, and vice versa, entirely without the candidate's endorsement or consent. Debate is intended, after all. (I have no real ties or attachment to that particular RfA, but any support or oppose vote should expect to be "rebutted" if someone takes objection. I won't debate you on your vote, but I wouldn't hold it against a candidate if people spring to his or her defense.) --Emufarmers^(T/C) 14:55, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Ryulong RFA

Hi Dlohcierekim... techinically I'm not supposed to be here... I was blocked for reverting a FALSE incest quote complete with bogus source that Ryulong fought very hard to uphold on the Jeremy Clarkson article. (ITS ALL IN THE HISTORY) It's a long story... but regardless... I was OPPOSITION vote 16 and my vote was deleted by #3 supporter within 90 seconds!!, MrLefty and my suspension was increased to TWO weeks instead of one, I believe, so that I'd miss the end vote. Ryulong, along with his ASDMIN bully friends have pretty much destroyed my enjoyment of the site. When I first discovered the FALSE quote, I deleted it citing that "IF YOURE GONNA SAY THAT JEREMY SAID THAT ALL OF USA PRACTICES INCEST, THEN YOU'LL NEED TO BACK IT UP" as it seems too controversial. He reverted me 3 or 4 times claiming that "jeremy could have easily said that"...(Im trying to make this short as possible)... he deleted it... I tried to open a topic on the JC talk page and he deleted my topic 6 times then had me blocked by his admin buddies for VANDALISM I think? Anyway... I told THIS story on the admin page where instead of being smug, rude and cocky, he apologised to me and removed the quote saying that it was a mistake. This was certainly not a mistake... he tried fervently to keep tha page innaccurate and I have been blocked for suspending him and have also had a valid vote thwarted.

I just thought that you should know about it because your OPPOSE reasons mentioned his COHORTS/COMRADES that make up their gang.

Although the page now is just how I think it should be(factual), I am now very concerned that this chap will be ADMIN. He and his admin bully buddies can make life miserable for a LOT of wikifolk. It's just not cool.

You know how the kid acts nice and sweet when the teacher is watching and then twists your nipple when the teacher is not looking... thats what this guy does.

When the edit war was going on, his gang suspended me and then he told me "I AM ACTUALLY LAUGHING OUT LOUD".

Is this a fake vote from MrLefty?---> [1]

Heres the one where they deleted my vote---> [2]

I'm sure you know that I have waged a small war against this editor, Ryulong using a number of IPs and ISPs, but that does not invalidate anything I have said here.

Please look into my claims... I haven't lied and I think that you will see that my claims are true. If you have any sway AT ALL... don't let this 18yr old testosterone fueled, egomaniac become ADMIN. He will abuse the tools and will only bring misery.

Is that normal to delete someone's topic from a discussion seven times? Seems unfair somehow. He has no powers yet, but abuses his knowledge over others.

Mate, I'm very sorry for the essay.

Thanks for reading.

Crime Expo SA

Thanks for your message, and for your post to the article's deletion page. I only became aware of it when it was being linked to in numerous inappropriate places. If the lack of consensus leads to it being kept, as looks likely, we'll need to keep a close watch on which articles are linked to it. I agree with your view that it is essentially a non-notable blog. I would add that it also seems to be a political soapbox. Ah well. --Guinnog 23:07, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

AgentSoo RfA

Hi Dlohcierekim, I just wanted to clarify my reasoning for the oppose stance on AgentSoo's RfA. I came across something I'd said to Jono posted by Jono on Soos talk page. I simply asked him about it as I wondered if Jono was giving him some trouble. Its was a move made out of genuine concern for Soo as I wondered if he was being talk page harassed and generally just wondered what was going on. Perhaps I was tired or not paying attention at the time but I didn't see it to be an 'In Joke', largely because it was made at my expense.

He replied basically telling me 'no he couldn't/didn't want to explain'. So I took the time to research it and after a fair bit of reading around realised it was a somewhat dubious 'in-joke' made at my expense. But I've seen worse out there, I agree - not in itself a reason for an oppose stance. However, what I felt did constitute the oppose was the genreally unhelpful attitude and the "its none of your buissness why should I tell you" attitude he displayed. I didn't feel that was very becoming of an administrator. I took some fairly considerable time to read about and it meant that was time I wasn't editing or making diagrams for wikipedia.

My oppose is not a strong one but I feel this specific user would benefit from some more time editing and perhaps some 'more humility on user talk pages' as FrancisTyers put it. Some of the best admins i've come across are the ones who had to fight skin and bone over their RfA because of some dubious past incidents and I think this coupled with the [Skull symbolism] issues puts soo in this category. I do honestly believe in a few months he could make a great admin, but just not right now. I hope this better explains my position, thanks. --WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 01:03, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I just wanted to contact you and clairfy my position as my initial explanation of my oppose was weak and I came across User talk:Agentsoo#Joke--RfA and felt I really ought to explain myself better as it wasn't the 'twat' comments themself that was the reasoning for my oppose, but rather the underlying attitude. Thanks. --WikipedianProlific^(Talk) 01:14, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

possible copy right problem

Image:Imgp0479 - lions club 800x600.jpg This is a picture someone took of a Lions_Clubs_International logo. As a Lion, I know LCIF enforces the copyright on its logo. It charges money for pins and other items containing the logo. I would recommend checking with LCIF about this. :) Dlohcierekim 21:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

I may be wrong but, as of my understanding, pictures of logos are almost the same of logos themselves. The first image may be marked as {{logo}} and used when in accordance with WP:FAIR. The second one is in Commons, where unfree images are not accepted. Maybe you should raise the question there. I believe there's a possibility the image is discarded. --Abu Badali 01:31, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

I guess their clam to notability would be the fact that they had a recording contract with the same label ("The Legendary" Sun Studio "Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll") as Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison and Johnny Cash had. If you think I need more notability let me know, I will work on it.

See my original nomination for the questions and answers. The Wookieepedian 21:21, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Your Vote Reasoning (RfA Thadman 2)

"Strong oppose based on lack of needed experience editing and talking with other editors. The bit in nom about being "forced to withdraw" on prior RfA shows a lack of understanding of how Wikipedia works. Constructive critique-- Needs many more AfD and RCPatrol related edits to handle most pressing of admin tasks. Needs many more article edits to establish that he understands Wikipedia policies. Needs many more user and article talk edits to show he has the critical thinking skill to be an admin. Claims expertise on copyright, but I find no related edits in last 500. Does not need admin tools to Wikify. I did find ~280 AMA related entries in edit summaries. Wikipedia is about building an Encyclopedia. Please come back when you have broader experience. Cheers :)"

Just my opinion, but another person's written nomination generally shouldn't count against the nominee's RfA. I also wish to ask why admins must have wide experience in your view. Does an exceptional RC specialist have to been active in AfD in order for adminship in your book? --Wslack (talk) 00:42, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. I did not consider that nominees could request corrections on their nomination, that's my bad, and I don't dispute that the language isn't good. My question on broadness isn't about consensus: That's easily seen in those two links. My question is about your personal wish for it, and your reasoning as per my question above. I also think that the word "Need" instead of "you might want" in constructive Critisism is rather oxymoronic, but that's just my thing.

Do you find my reason for support naive? --Wslack (talk) 01:31, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

JtKeifer's RfA

Hi Dlohcierekim,

I think you've done everything you can. I agree its a terrible mess and needs to be closed soon to prevent further damage to JtKeifer and Wikipedia. I don't know what he could have been thinking, but this was all bound to come out. A bad situation all round. I don't have further advise. I suspect it will be close by one of our excellent 'bcrats soon. If it goes on too long I may snowball it myself, but would much rather it be done properly by a 'bcrat.

Image mess

Oh, there are tons of things to do. OrphanBot handles new images pretty well, but there is a load of stinking crap uploaded a year or so ago. I would go to Category:Fair use images and choose something I like. For example, there should be no images/pages in that main category, only sub-categories. So a more specific tag is needed for all those hundreds of images tagged with {{fairuse}}. Then I would make sure all those fair use images have an (1) adequate description (what is in the image and who made it), (2) source (most likely it should be a website), (3) low resolution (usually that means under 300x300px), (4) fair use rationale (I would have a heart attack if at least one of them had), is (5) actually used in some article, and is (6) actually necessary and useful.

Lack of (2), (4), and (5) are speedy deletion criteria. See rules on speedy deleting images points 4, 5 & 6. Without (1) you most likely will not have a source and a rationale. (3) is a violation of fair use claim and there are three things to do: a) list image on WP:IfD (don't really know if that's gonna work), b) resize the image and upload a smaller version, c) tag image with {{Fair use reduce}} and hope someone else will do it for you. (6) is common sense. I would listen to what Jimbo had to say at Wikimania, here, and realize that fair use should be used only when really badly needed. So for example, Image:Accom2.jpg is not really needed - it's a freaking dorm room. You can make 10000's such images yourself and they are going to be free. Image:2004gopconventionlaurabush.jpg is also not really needed. There are 1000's of PD images on White House website, why use fair use?

So, did I scare you enough? :) Renata 23:32, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and I forgot (7) make sure that fair use images are used in appropriate articles. That includes checking against any other namespaces (e.g. Durin in on a quest to remove all fair use images from user space). For example, under fair use Playboy cover cannot be really used to illustrate a model. I know that everyone is doing it and if you try to do something about it you are gonna be yieled at, loud & strong. Specific example: Image:Teutonic order charge.jpg cannot be used in Teutonic Knights. It can only be used in author or game article. Renata 00:00, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok, let's see what we have here:

• Image:175 sami omar alhussayen.jpg -> tag is ok, (3) resolution is ok, (4) rationale is ok (not great, but ok; rationale should be article-specific; see my changes), it is (5) used in one article and it (7) seems reasonable use (it's the guy's article). So far so good. The (2) source is a different matter: it gives a general link to the website, but does not link to a specific page where the image was found. That's not good. I did a quick goole image search and came up with direct link and updated image description. The image is also missing (1) description, which I added and which is not that vital. The image is (6) needed. There only 3 other images of this guy on the net and he is important in Sept. 11 timeline. Conclusion: no basis for speedy deletion. It cites source in a wrong manner, but still cites. No real basis for any kind of other deletion. It's important pic and fair use claim is fine. As always, there are several things to improve.
  • Amendment: The image was improved between your post on my talk and the time I saw it. [3]

• Image:13C chemical shifts.gif -> again, improved before I saw it. But no doubt it should be deleted once easy timeline is done. Replace with free alternative, but don't forget to cite your original source.

• Image:17June1953DemonstratorsInBerlin.jpg -> it's a historically significant photo. I would make some effort to save it. See, you gotta use your judgement sometimes. For example, I am much more intolerant to fair use violations on various celebrity photos (where commercial interest is VERY high) than on some old historical photos not-quite-yet-in-the-public-domain. The image just needs its tag updated to {{HistoricPhoto}} and rationale written. Wanna try? ;) Renata 13:26, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Paradigm V, an online business network currently in production, is estimated to be a lead contendor to sites such as LinkedIn and Open BC.

Re:Fair use rationale for Image:Agartala gi1.jpg

Re: Article on Mercy's Mark Quartet

How did I do on fixing it? If I sufficiently established its significance in its genre, might you be able to consider removing the speedy deletion tag?

If Wikipedia does not desire articles on the prominent groups in the Southern Gospel genre, then I can find other venues for my research efforts. But if establishing significance within the field of Southern Gospel is adequate, I trust that I have done it with this article. How is it? Daniel J. Mount 13:54, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Largo, Florida Map Mar 6,1925.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Largo, Florida Map Mar 6,1925.jpg. The image description page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages 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 fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

It just asks for a fair use rationale explaining why you think it is fair use. Just explain why it is important, why no free alternatives could be obtained and what exactly it ilustrates. Renata 11:27, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

No not really. See these examples. (sorry for the briefness). Renata 13:00, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

welcome tag and signing

Hi there. The {{welcomeg}} tag doesn't need the four tildes (~~~~) signature. It automatically adds it! Also:

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. - CobaltBlueTony 16:06, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reminder!  :) Dlohcierekim 16:12, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
