I've had it with the Wikipedia. You work hard to make an article good and someone reverts it or deletes your work over some minor oversight without giving any notice. EVEN WHEN MY PERSONAL EMAIL IS DISPLAYED ON MY TALK PAGE. Then, even though it is clear that some mistake was made, it is damned difficult to get it fixed as most admins will automatically side with another admin on principle alone regardless of the merits of my argument, regardless of the rules and policies in place.

Then, I realized, it is way more fun to vandalize and troll the wiki.

Congratulations Guys, you just created a super troll / super vandal

I have a question for you about User:Musamies. How many files/articles has User:Musamies deleted? Here is a hint, https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/w/index.php?title=Special:ListUsers&action=view&limit=1&username=Musamies — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.252.21.147 (talk) 14:06, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About email and images

[edit]

First, I'll repeat what I said at WP:ANI...

The primary form of communication between users here is by talk pages, not email. That's why you see a big honking orange bar that says "you have new messages" when somebody posts to your talk page. It's not reasonable to stick an email address on your user or talk page and expect users to open up an external email client to communicate with you about your on-wiki activities because that's what your talk page is for. On your images, they weren't deleted due to a "minor technicality". Wikipedia is a "free encyclopedia" and aside from some very strict exceptions we can only use images with a "free license" and the vast majority of images found on Panoramio don't qualify.

Further note on the email issue. If you go to "my preferences/user profile" and check "E-mail me when my user talk page is changed" then you will get an automated message whenever someone posts a message to your talk page but you will have to read your talk page to see it. Nobody is going to send email to some email address you post on your user or talk page when they wish to communicate with you about your on-wiki activities. That's not the way we do things here.

Further note on the issue of your photos. Assuming that you are this user, even though you own the copyright to these photos, we still can't use them as long as they have the default license which is "all rights reserved". However, if you change the license to CC-BY-SA which you can do on Panoramio, then you can upload them free and clear to Wikipedia. However, it's best to upload them to Wikimedia Commons so they can be used on any Wikimedia project (including Wikipedias in other languages) not just here. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 21:37, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

License

[edit]

The license to all this editors work was revoked and can no longer be used on Wikipedia, also the panaramio account and the google accounts associated with the photos were deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.194.243.174 (talk) 05:54, 22 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
