Image:Abdurrahman YALÇINKAYA.pngThanks for uploading Image:Abdurrahman YALÇINKAYA.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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.

Orphaned fair use imagesAs a result of the deletion of Comparative ranks and insignia of Star Trek, these images are now orphaned and subject to deletion in seven days unless used in a main namespace article. -- Durin 20:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC) Orphaned fair use image (Image:An IDF M109 self-propelled howitzer fires into Southern Lebanon.png)Thanks for uploading Image:An IDF M109 self-propelled howitzer fires into Southern Lebanon.png. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. MECU≈ talk 01:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC) Kurdish inhabited regionsPlease take a look at the notice that you placed at the head of Kurdish inhabited regions. The notice asks you not to depopulate the category. Seeing as this is a policy which you yourself have used in preparing the category for deletion, the category has now been repopulated. You are also reminded that this category is politically sensitive, and widespread deletions lack such sensitivity. Please let the deletion process run its course, and, if the decision is to delete the category, the links to it from articles may be removed by hand or by bot. As the policy is quite clear depopulating categories again will result in you being temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia. — Gareth Hughes 12:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Category:Religion in KurdistanCool Cat: I have some questions for you: How can you nominate a good category, like Category:Religion in Kurdistan for deletion within 22 minutes [1] after I created the category? Secondly, why didn't you have the courtesy to inform me (as the creator of this category) that you were nominating it for deletion? Finally, how on Earth can you say that the "Category is too specific and underpopulated" when many millions of people live in Kurdistan and most practice one religion or another? IZAK 12:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Cool Cat: Many regions in the world are "undefined" and over history they get redefined many times over, all usually depending on who wins the last war/s, so cut out the nonsense please. Do you know how many times Alsace-Lorraine has been "German-French-German-French etc"? Or that the Native Americans are historically marginalized in the USA even though they have the longest history in it? The point is that the existence and definition of ethnic/cultural/religious/geographic groups is not an exact science so to resort to false requests for "defined" this-and-that is not just missing the point but is clear-cut obfuscation that is proabably hiding a simple POV prejudice against a group, and in this case it's the Kurds, and my particular focus, the Kurdish Jews that I will not permit to get lost in the shuffling of the decks for no good purpose here. Finally, 22 minutes to nomnate for deletion a category devoted to "Religion in Kurdistan" merely because you think it's problematic is simply not a good enough enough excuse. You could have at least let me know in any case. Thanks. IZAK 14:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cool Cat: You persist in coming over to my talk page and warning me about "personal attacks" and "disruptions" yet I have no idea what you are talking about because you do not give me any examples of EXACTLY what you claim are "personal attacks" or "disruptions." So can you be so kind as to let me know what is bothering you and which of my statements you are referring to so that I can then understand your problems with what I am saying (is it my style, content, factual presentation, or what ? -- I have no idea where you are coming from) and so that I can treat you more gently and answer your allegations specifically. Thank you. IZAK 11:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Your Mediation Cabal case
Good morning ( GMT time); I'd just like to ask what course of action you would like to take as a result of inactivity on behalf of every other editor at the above case.

He's uploaded a number of images, for instance Image:Abuali Sino Avicenna.jpg, credited to a painter called "Immodinova C." and at the same time claimed to be released as "own work" - but his own real name as per his userpage doesn't match, he calls himself Ibrahimjon Rustamov there.

I do appreciate your attempt negotiate an agreement on categorization of Kurdish related articles, and I believe your attempt to find a solution through a mediation cabal is a good faith and mature way of dealing with such things. Thus, I am even more sorry not to have reacted. I have been too busy in outside-Wikipedia life lately, and as you might have noticed I have not even followed the debate.

I meant, that the general question is whether (1) there is an region, comprised of parts of several nations, that can be called Kurdistan.& if there is, whether it has geographic boundaries such that one can say a village is in it or not in it. , or, (2) if there is no multi-national region to which the name Kurdistan can be applied, whether there is one which can appropriately be called by some other name, and if there is such a region, whether it has geographic boundaries such that one can say a village is in it or not in it.

Actually, yes, but not with templates. You're a Commons admin, and I guess that would make you an expert on transwikying stuff to Commons. I've been trying to clean out the backlog of images needing copied, but it's a bit tedious. If Commons is down, can't upload. If Wikipedia is down, can't find images to download. If the toolserver is down, can't get Magnus's commonshelper to work (and too lazy to do it by hand). If the upload server is having a bad day - and that seems to be around half the times I try - no downloads. It feels like I must be being really dim here and that I'm missing something obvious. Is there an easier way to do things, particularly in terms of grabbing the images off Wikipedia? Thanks in advance, Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

April InformationA 'rude' Riva72Hello! I am sorry for disturbing you here at the English Wikipedia project but I was forced to do this by the Commons user WarX. He has completely blocked my access to the Commons with no sensible reason. I have to quote his reason written in Polish (sic!) which reads: papa Riva72, tylko kto cie teraz zrewertuje? I provide the translation here: 'ByeBye Riva72, who's gonna revert you now?'. In my opinion, he may have chosen Polish as not to be understood by the majority of the Commons users. I am not rude.. The actions of the Polish Wikipedians like WarX are rude. They are not the professionals. They 'do not like Riva72' euphemism :) and, as they cannot do otherwise, they 'revenge themselves' that way which is funny. Cool Cat, I ask you to unblock my access to the Commons (both ways).. I will not do any edits (if not forced to by crucial reasons..) and I will not upload any pictures to the Commons in the future. Tell me if it is possible to prohibit the Polish Wikipedia use the castle in Podhorce images.. It is important for the author of the photos and for me if they were not displayed with the Polish Wikipedia.. I have noticed this blockade by WarX while I was saving the following words at your Commons discussion page: I have placed these two images to be deleted. I have placed the proper template as the deletion request. The templates were 'taken' (the revert action by odder) with no explanation given. I see this user action as irrational or vicious. The National Bank of Ukraine holds the copyrights to the coins issued by them and, therefore, to the coins images. The presence of these images in the Commons is the obvious 'copyvio' case. I was not aware of the fact that the coin images are copyrighted by law while uploading these photos to the Commons. The photos in question: [8], [9]. -- Riva72 00:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC) I am sorry for these words and I thank you for understanding. Fortunately, I have this 'Riva 72' account at the English Wikipedia. Have a nice Sunday! -- Riva72 00:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. The war over the Castle in Podhorce began when I placed the following words under the article (which was written by me and edited only by me): The article is dedicated to Oksana, the lady who got me interested in the castle's history and who helped me to collect the resources and provided with photos of the castle. It was written in Polish nice and easy. I assumed it would be a nice accent to the article, a nice attribution to the author of the photos according to the licence provided. The dedication was an eyesore. Made people jealous? :) It was constantly removed. As far as I know no editor (publisher) removes the author's dedications because such action is a pure vandalism. Anyway, the history of the article and all discussions available there are very interesting.. Therefore, it is the most interesting and the most colourful article in the entire Polish Wikipedia section. :) The article on the castle is also the place where the Commons user Ejdzej showed his ignorance in a spectacular way as far as architecture details are concerned (for which he was blushing for a few days..). He simply made a fool of himself. That is again the argument to hate Riva72. :) The whole affair reminds me of Helen and the battle of Troy. :) You can read it and, therefore, judge yourself if Riva72 was trolling. There were none disruptive activities on the Polish Wikipedia on my part. :) Some Wikipedian administrators (mainly some Polish ones) are famous for 'closing mouths' of their discussion opponents in the forms of blockades when these "respectable" administrators run out of rational arguments. -- Riva72 00:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC) + -- Riva72 07:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

"Independent sources estimate 50,000 to more than 100,000 deaths; the Kurds claim about 182,000 people were killed. Amnesty International collected the names of more than 17,000 people who had "disappeared" during 1988. [2] The campaign has been characterized as genocidal in nature, notably before a court in The Hague. It is also characterized as gendercidal, because "battle-age" men were the primary targets, according to Human Rights Watch/Middle East (hereafter, HRW/ME)." If we can add this section to it. "This military operation, code-named the "Al-Anfal" campaign, resulted in the death of at least 180,000 people" Source: Humanitarian Intervention: the United Nations in an evolving world order - Page 183 by Sean D.

An arbitration case involving you has been filed. Feel free to comment there. -- Cat chi? 13:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC) A questionHello! This is the last post for you from me both here and the Commons. I have this question: Can the author of the photo which is uploaded by her (or her representative) to the Commons under 'Creative Commons Attribution 2.5' licence prohibit one of the sections of the Wikipedia encyclopedia (the Polish Wikipedia section) to use the author's photo to illustrate an article available there? The author wants to inform about this in the permission section of the photo summary info box. I ask for a serious answer.. My question concerns the Podhorce castle images and the following note [15] which was reverted by the user called Ejdzej. Of course it may (maybe should) be shortened to the information that: The author of the photo prohibit the Polish Wikipedia to use her work which should be respected.. I consent to the three months blockade (which is still unjust) but we (the author and I who uploaded the pictures) still want to prohibit the Polish Wikipedia section to use the set of eight photos known as 'Caspod1-8.gif' to illustrate the seriously distorted article available at the Polish Wikipedia. For lots of other reasons, as well.. I would appreciate your answer. -- Riva72 17:14, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Please, explain me the reason for a one-year-blockade (at the Commons) which I was punished with a few minutes ago by the Commons user called WarX. The reason given by them is vandalizing image descriptions. This is a vicious action by the user because I have not vandalized any image decriptions.. I (as the author of the photos and the authorized person to do the upload as far as images called 'Caspod1-8.gif' are concerned and having the rights granted by law) changed the licences of some images from 'cc-by-sa-2.5' to 'cc-by-nd-2.5'. I inform that I have not changed the licences of the photos I wish to remain in the public domain and I state that I will not change this decision in the future. I request you for the explanation. I am sorry to disturb you and engage you in this matter but I was forced to do it. -- Riva72 00:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Riva72: To the user called Ejdzej: You are really a misleading person and not reliable what is a shame for the administrator.. as: Your upload of the [18] to the article on [19] was done on March 5,2007 - proof: [20]]. You voted to preserve the article on the castle in Podhorce on March 3, 2007 - proof: [21] - - no further comments - (213.199.192.60 15:07, 3 April 2007). Ejdzej: That's all true. - (A.J. 15:35, 3 April 2007). It is only the fragment of the discussion. I welcome you to read it all at: [22] -- Riva72 08:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)-- Riva72 08:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Cool Cat, I ask for your personal deletion of the photos I tagged yesterday. My other statements in this chapter remain unchanged. -- Riva72 08:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC) The photos which licence has changed: P.S. The user called Ejdzej violated the law and broke the previous 'cc-by-sa-2.5' licences given to these photos while he/she(?) blocked me for altering them, i.e. for making derivative works for which I again possess all the rights. He was even so rude and irrational to call the reason for my blockade: spoiling of images.. -- Riva72 08:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC) I am sorry I have to remind the "administrators" like the user called Ejdzej that according to the (Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 - legal code) it is allowed to create and reproduce Derivative Works. -- Riva72 09:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Nevertheless, please inform me how I can gently remove the photos (which were linked above) from the Commons depository. This will be my last action at the Commons and after that I would like you, Cool Cat, to remove my profile and my user page.. Thanks for understanding (and patience). -- Riva72 09:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC) According to the newest information by the user called Ejdzej (which name, by the way, sounds awfully..) posted at the Commons ANB discussion user-problems page I wish to inform that I have never trusted the users called Ejdzej and Warx. Besides - recently - I have lost my trust to the Commons and to the Wikipedia projects. I am strongly convinced that the projects ways are dirty.. -- Riva72 09:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Bear in mind that I had the right to change the licence types of some (if not all the photos uploaded by me) of these photos (mainly the photos called 'Caspod1-8.gif') as their previous licence cc-by-sa-2.5 was breached by the user called Ejdzej.. while blocking me and reverting the derative works of these photos.

I see that you are the user who started the article above. According to the statistics that the Turkish media has shown, the amount of people who participated this incredible rally is over a million. Moreover, some citizens have jeered at TRT because of reflecting the number as 10,000. So, is it possible to change the expression 'over 200,000' to 'over a million' (since there is a huge difference between them) ?.

protect your republic articlehi cool cat! you tagged the protect your republic rally article as a current event again. it's not a current event. as I said so in that article's talk page wether mr. erdogan should be the president or not is a current event, the rally is a past event. what is your rationale on tagging it? can you please elaborate on the article's talk page? thanks. best wishes. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.102.180.116 ( talk) 18:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC).
hi cool cat, I don't understand the rationale behind your excision of the phrase secularist-leaning from the articel. it was a very clear part. when you say something made the people suspicious it means it may have made the WHOLE people suspicious. I added the word some there as not everyone in Turkey is suspicious.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.102.180.116 ( talk • contribs)
hi Cool Cat, I yet again don't understate something, you removed the two citation needed templates I put on the article. They were perfectly suitable for that place as the allegations in that particular sentence were un-cited, as there were two separate allegations in oıne sentence I put two templates, yet you removed them. You could remove just one , the one at the middle of the sentence but you removed both. The section is still un-cited and if I put that template again I'm afraid you'll probably remove them again? Why did you remove them, is looking clearer more important than battling biased sentences? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.245.114.193 ( talk • contribs)

Castles in FranceTo User:Angusmclellan, User:Cool Cat, User:Jamie Mercer, User:Bluap, User:Postlebury, User:LukeHoC, User:Johnbod, User:Sam Blacketer I'm writing to you because you contributed to the discussion on Category:Castles in France, which resulted in the category being deleted, or redirected articles in that category. This decision, as I hope to show, was wrong and needs to be reversed. Please take the time to read the following and respond. Firstly, I should say that I did not take part in the discussion because I did not know it was taking place. (I was actually in France following the presidential election campaign and, ironically, taking photos of French castles!) My reasons for questioning the decision are: 1. As far as I can discover, the debate was not advertised on the Wikipedia:WikiProject France page, so that editors with a declared interest in topics related to France could be aware of it. 2. Similarly, no mention was made on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Castles page. It would have been sensible to at least mention the proposal in these projects and to seek advice. 3. The problem identified is very real. The French word château does not translate easily into English. It can mean a castle (in the usual English understanding of the word - a medieval, military defensive structure). It can mean palace/stately home/ mansion (and in fact, English speakers will frequently use the word château with that meaning). It can mean a vineyard, with or without a castle or palace attached. And, even more confusingly, the thousands of water towers in France are named château d'eau. 4. Even the French sometimes need clarification. In recent years, French language guide books have often described castles as châteaux-forts to distinguish them from the palaces. 5. Some months ago I came across a page in Wikipedia called List of castles in France ([ original]). This made the mistake of including article links solely because of the word château in the title; in fact only about half of the list were real castles - the rest were palaces etc and even some vineyards. I set about revising the list and along with other editors we managed to get the page as it appears now. We have gone on to add dozens more articles, particularly by translating pages from the French Wikipedia. All of these articles were categorised as Castles in France; any then categorised under Châteaux in France were moved over to Castles in France. The Châteaux in France category was left to be just for French palaces etc (i.e. what we as English speakers would call châteaux). 6. The Category:Castles by country lists 56 sub-categories and many of these are further divided (e.g. Castles in the United Kingdom is divided into Castles in England, Castles in Scotland, etc). The only country without a category concentrating on castles is France and this is a serious oversight. Anyone looking for details of castles in France now has to wade through a category that is not dedicated to castles! 7. The problems you identified with the original Category:Châteaux in France are real and need to be sorted, but this has been made worse by now lumping in all of the castle articles. Château de Puivert, for example, does not belong in the same category as Palace of Versailles, any more than Conisbrough Castle belongs with Buckingham Palace. I would be interested in your comments, particularly on how to give French castles the same category status as castles in Denmark, Spain, England and other countries. I have to say, the only way I can see that happening is to reinsate the Castles in France category as it was and for some work to be done on where the real problem lies - in the Châteaux in France category.

Air episodes - JuhachiThere was much discussion in the past on the removal of these pages. Don't tell me you've forgotten the pages and pages of discussion on this.-- 十 八 22:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'll say this: I'd be more willing to accept an Air (anime) page provided that more info about the anime itself was included, such as what you said with how the anime was developed, or how it was criticized. DVD sales could also be included, and now that the anime has been licensed, the latter two may not be too hard to find, but then anime development may be difficult to find into on and to cite. Currently, there is nothing on this version to make it it's own article as all that info can be found on the main article under the Anime section, and the Story arcs section which seems much more relavent to cite its inclusion in the game rather than how it was distributed in the anime that came after it. I'm talking about precedent here, so the game should always come first. Moreover, I can see that you were accepting a bit of my cleanup strategies, such as with this revision, and going along with the merging to Sora (Air) and Potato (Air) into Yukito Kunisaki and Kano Kirishima, so I can see that we may be able to work together provided we reach a concensus. About {{ Air}}, I would much rather use one template, {{ Key}} to apply to all of Keys works in order to avoid redundancy and make it easier to navigate with a single template to edit rather than 6 (Key has 6 games now). The Key template once was organized according to series, seen here but I reorginized it to the current version because it looked better this was with how it is originized now. Also, to reduce clutter, this version was replaced by including Category:Kanon characters in the template, and the same could be done for the Air characters I believe. And then only Kanon and Air have enough articles to constitute organization by series, as Clannad alone only has 3 and the other 3 games only have a main article, and soundtracks since the other three don't even have anime adaptations to them. As for the proposal you just gave me on my talk page, it's a sound idea, but the only reason I wanted a 2 month postpone is because I am in college right now and I will have no time to really delve into this massive project until the summer. My belief is that if all of the articles were done at the same time (as in work on them in namespace and then copy/paste into article space when finished with all of them), users such as Ned Scott would not have much to work with in terms of the guidelines set out in WP:EPISODE. Right now, most are stubs without references, so he has enough info to warrent deletion.-- 十 八 23:33, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

This is probably a bad idea because it will not receive much traffic. Namely, people respond to RfCs in related subject areas after posting their own RfCs, and people watchlist RfCs in subject areas they are interested. This is much less likely to happen if RfCs are divided by function rather than subject area. For example, people who have more insight into issues about Kurdistan and who care enough to comment would be the people interested in politics and history. Also, such a specific page will likely have fewer RfCs in general, so fewer people coming to the page. — Centrx→ talk • 16:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

I think there are legitimate reasons for keeping this article mostly as it is. Each of the four "Kurdistans" (Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian and Turkish) have significantly differing post-Ottoman history and politics, and present somewhat different issues. There's more than enough content in both Turkish Kurdistan and Iraqi Kurdistan to justify the separate existence of those articles. Having said that, I think we could probably move some of the pre-1918 content in Turkish Kurdistan into the main Kurdistan article, along the lines of how Iraqi Kurdistan is structured. -- ChrisO 15:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
User sig substitutionsDo you not consider edits such as this an enormous waste of database and bandwidth resources? What is the point in many hundreds of edits to make what is simply a cosmetic change to a historical signature? Thanks/ wangi 19:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
"anyone sane would complain about their talk archives receiving this cleanup" - you're completely missing the point of what signatures are for. They are to identify and date your talk page contributions, nothing more. They are not a style statement. There's nothing wrong with the way they were, you're just wasting server resources to update to your latest "best sig ever" - it's pointless. Thanks/ wangi 07:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC) This is why we don't allow things like templates for sigs, because every time you changed the sig it would then have to update for each page.

The whole signature issueWhite Cat had a username change recently. He is changing his signatures to link from his old username to his new one, and fixing some sigs which had images (which is frowned upon). Some of these edits are on archived pages. Archived page guidelines say they shouldn't be edited; generally assumed to mean the comments should not be changed and new comments should not be added. Images are often removed from archives, or changed to other versions - what White Cat is doing is changing his sig. This change does not affect the discussion in any way (unless someone was speaking about the signature in particular). He has the right to change his sig, which is not a part of discussions on archived pages, just as others have the right to change theirs and to change images in archives and even to revert changes by others if they think they are inappropriate. However, attacking a user and blindly reverting everything, plus blocking him when he continues to make changes to his own signature, is quite uncalled for. If the issue is particular users not wanting their talk page archives edited, those users should revert the changes themselves - if White Cat changes them back then complaints from the user whose page White Cat edited are in order. Personally if his fix was reverted by someone else I would change it back, as UBeR did here. Blind reversions of other people's talk page archives by a different user just makes the page pop up once again on everyone's watchlist, and is annoying to those who did not mind the signature change to begin with. This is a signature, which within loose guidelines (not too long, not too large height-wise, preferably no images) is free for the user to create, change, design, modify, etc.. Archives should not be edited for the purpose of changing or adding to the discussion, but modifying something like a signature does not cause problems in most instances. If it does, reverting back to the old signature is fine, yes. Otherwise let White Cat fix his signature as he pleases; the only people getting hurt by this edit war and these discussions are the users who are getting angry and the people going out of their way to revert him. — Editor at Large (speak) 22:24, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free imagesOrphanedThanks for uploading the following images:
The image description pages currently specify that the images are non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the images are currently orphaned, meaning that they are not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the images were previously in an article, please go to those articles and see why they were removed. You may add them back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Aksibot 20:28, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring on Kurdistan Workers Party and User:QwlFirst, I would apologise again for not realising that the edit summary comments were a personal attack. If I had realised I would have blocked the editor for that violation, as well as the 3RR. I did not issue a block in this instance because, although 3RR was violated, User:Qwl was not continuing the revert war and the article had been "cleaned" of their edits. As blocking is preventative rather than punitive I saw no point in blocking an editor who was no longer making those edits, so I decided to issue a warning instead. I hope this explains my actions and non-actions. LessHeard vanU 19:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Iraq operationsThere are currently 3 Different lists of Iraq Operations; Iraqi coalition counter-insurgency operations(which is also somewhat POV), a chonological list and an alphabetical list. I have added a lot of operations to the alphabetical listing and have been updating it faithfully but I haven't updated the counter insurgency or the Chonological listing much. Before I do I recommend that we consider other methods. I figured out how to add a column sort function and added it to the Alphabetical listing. I recommend the other 2 articles be merged into the alphabetical listing and then we can rename the alphabetical listing to something more appropriate like Iraq Military Operations since 2003 perhaps. I added a blurb on the discussion page and recommended the merge for the chronological list and the counter insurgency operations page.

Could you please stop doing this? Things will probably get back to normal if you stop editing your signature in archive pages. That's what seems to be annoying so many otherwise fair-minded Wikipedians. It may seem like a small thing, and you may wonder what it has to do with them, but evidently your edits do cause a lot of drama and the drama rebounds on you and not on them. So in your own interests, although it may seem unfair, it is better to stop. -- Tony Sidaway 18:24, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

(unindent) Maps have long been categorized in map categories. We now have commons:Category:Maps of Kurdish-inhabited regions and commons:Category:Maps of Iraqi Kurdistan. I moved the images in the commons "Maps of Kurdistan" category to those 2 categories. The news media today uses "Kurdistan" to refer to w:Iraqi Kurdistan. See this Sept. 2, 2007 Chicago Tribune article:
So I think this category breakdown is clearer for the average reader of wikipedia and the news. And it avoids the confusion surrounding the old and new meanings of Kurdistan. See the geography section of w:Kurdistan. I believe wikipedia is supposed to lean toward the common names today. -- Timeshifter 17:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) There is no statement of endorsement. It is just a long-used, cross-border regional category. From the introduction of Category:Kurdistan that someone copied from the Kurdistan article:
Many category names cover controversial topics. There is no endorsement by wikipedia. Just like there is no endorsement implied by the names for many categories covering controversial issues. People have to read and make up their own minds. For example: and all the subcategories in the "by country" categories, etc. within these categories:

Image reviewThe idea might have some merit. However, a WikiProject is probably not the best way to go. What we're probably talking about here would be something along the lines of policy, not project. As such, it would probably be best to propose it at the Wikipedia:Village pump, possibly as a suggested policy guideline, with a page written out describing what you think the actions, qualifications, and limitations of the group would be. Be aware that a lot of people would react negatively to anything they perceive as being "beauracracy creep", and that this has a real chance of becoming that. Alternately, you might contact the people at Wikimedia Commons about setting up such a group there, as all free images are allegedly being tried to be deposited there anyway.

Eiffel towerOur article on the Eiffel tower suggests that these images are not copyrighted in the United States Eiffel Tower#_note-15. These byzantine country-specific copyright laws are still confusing for me - could you explain exactly what are the relevant issues for photos of "copyrighted buildings" and Wikimedia commons?

Oh My Goddess! episodesFYI, I have closed the discussion and redirected all of the episodes, but not the "movie". Please accept this outcome. If you do find reasonable sources to establish notability of specific episodes you are of course free to resurrect those articles and add the sources. If you do so, please also work towards a less plot-summary, in-universe format. Thank you. -- Jack Merridew 09:57, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

A bot came along and "fixed" the double redirect, and I reverted, and then another bot, belonging to you, apparently, came along and "fixed" it again, and I reverted. The page titled pattern-avoiding permutation is labeled a "redirect with possibilities", using the standard template. If it ever becomes are article, it would be inappropriate for pattern-avoiding permutations to redirect to anything else. Michael Hardy 16:36, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale
Thanks for uploading the images. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description pages 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 non-free media 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. Ejfetters 19:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC) Replace script

Thanks for uploading the images. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Wikipedia and LanguagesGreetings Cat! I couldn't help but notice from your user page that you "make tons of edits" to a number of language wikipedia's for which you don't seem to have knowledge of the language. Could you tell me how this works? The only reason I ask is that I think that wikipedia might be a good tool to learn new languages. Also, if you don't mind asking, what do you mean by that phrase at the top of your user page, the one that has aiur? Pocopocopocopoco 03:02, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

October InformationCommentHello, sorry to bother you--I'm a pretty casual wiki user, and while I'm distressed about TTN's edits, I'm not familiar enough with wiki's structure to be certain where I should be addressing my concerns. I posted here, a couple of minutes after a post you just made, and have seen your comments on this topic elsewhere. I was wondering if there are any other pages where I should cross-post what I wrote on the noticeboard, to assure that it's seen by whoever might be in a position to address it. Thanks for any help you can offer. 24.90.146.245 11:20, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

The redirect page titled ML Inequality currently reads as above. To change the second link to "estimation lemma" makes no sense at all. Please don't do that. Michael Hardy 17:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I've never seen a clearer case of unwillingness to understand. Please look at what the page says. Look at the profoundly stupid form in which your bot left the page. Look at my edit that fixed the problem. My edit is consistent with the policies you cite, so you should have no objection to it on those grounds. On the other hand your edit obviously defeats a purpose that helps Wikipedia. "Softredirect" is for a different purpose. Michael Hardy 23:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I disbelieve your statement that your bot's absurd edit is required by that page. Damage done by your bot IS your problem. Why do you ask what the purpose is? The purpose is obvious. Don't come to me citing policies that say different things from what you claim they say. I have no problem with fixing double redirects; if that's ALL your bot did I'd have no problem with it. But it did something else. Michael Hardy 23:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not fighting mediawiki; you're fighting common sense. You say "That is a double redirect as far as mediawiki is concerned". That defies common sense. Policies exist for a reason. And if you're against even that kind of so-called "double redirect", why didn't you just remove the link, so the words would appear there with no link, instead of replacing it with something absurd and incomprehensible? Michael Hardy 03:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Porthos-frengi.jpg)Thanks for uploading Image:Porthos-frengi.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

It was in 1995, not 1994. All of the sources on the page say so. So do news archive reports...I think you have some incorrect information. PBP 20:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, you are incorrect. See [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], and every news source from 1995, all of which state that Turkey went into northern Iraq in 1995. I started the article using sources from 1995. And yet you bring up a single source from a non-news site that says it took place in 1994. It's my five sources (and I could go on) versus your one. PBP 22:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Here: http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/1995_cr/s950328-turkey.htm . Convinced yet? This is a congressional record from 1995. PBP 22:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Here are two more sources that conclusively prove the incursion was in 1995: [62] [63]. Please do not drag this out any further...this is a rather trivial issue, yes, but you seem unwilling to accept the truth. I have provided seven sources that say "Operation Steel" was in 1995, yet you provide one source that says it was in 1994. No other source refers to such an operation in 1994, therefore your source is mistaken. It's like saying the Iraq war started in 2002 instead of 2003. It's not reality. Please accept that the incursion was in 1995, or I will get an admin's intervention in this matter, and they will with certainty side with me. Please. PBP 02:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
You are being dicussed on ANISee this. Viridae Talk 03:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC) Duplicity and WikipediaThe method you employed for having those categories deleted (by misrepresenting the time they had been empty) is unacceptable. The merits of "Kurdistan" nonwithstanding, you employed deletion templates in such a way as to perform an "end run" on consensus by essentially tricking someone into deleting them under false pretenses. A user with your experience should know better, and this type of action is simply not proper. This, in conjunction with the many other dramas you've been the center of over the past two years is making it difficult for me to assume that you're consistently editing in good faith or using good judgment. Reconsider the means you're employing to edit the project, this can't continue. - CHAIRBOY ( ☎) 13:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Chris ConleyI see that you are a commons admin.

It is highly likely that this user is a reincarnation of User:R:128.40.76.3 — and others. So my request to you is to look into the possibility that commons is now hosting a copyvio.

Help!I gave you the sources from which the images were "borrowed". Please explain to me how copying images created by another website is not sufficiently obvious to require their speedy deletion. While you're at it, you could also explain to me how simply removing SD tags is preferable to replacing them with the proper tag, as I am careful to do at en.wiki. Because if I happen to be correct that these are copyvios, your conduct is preventing them from being reviewed by others and keeping them here.

All of the comments on the mediation page and on the disputed talk pages refer to Coolcat. It may be appropriate to delete these old mediation requests as useless cruft, but altering their contents is misleading and pointless. This has been discussed on ANI, and you were told to stop making these changes. — Centrx→ talk • 15:52, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Dropping the matter includes you stopping. — Centrx→ talk • 16:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
There is nothing private about the name "Cool Cat", your new username is directly associated with "Cool Cat" in several places, and your actions have increased those associations. You are lying. — Centrx→ talk • 16:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
The only way changing text on Wikipedia would protect your privacy is if that text itself contained personal information, such as if your old username were your real name. If someone had personal information about Cool Cat, they hold that personal information and can act upon it regardless of whether you change your username on Wikipedia. If there is some personal information associated with the name "Cool Cat" which you do not want to be discovered by Wikipedia editors who interact with "White Cat", then the way to prevent that is to create a wholly new username severed from connection with "Cool Cat". Otherwise, anyone can easily look at the old contribs of your user and see your old username--and those contribs are much more obvious because of your signature changes,--not to mention that you list your old usernames directly on User:White Cat. — Centrx→ talk • 16:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
You need to "throw away" your contributions in order to prevent "great rl risk", which is your present justification for altering archives. If there is no real risk, then you have no justification. We courtesy-blank rather than move AfDs that contain a person's real name and hateful or personal information against his will, so I don't see why we would move a page that contains no personal information and that was created by the person himself. — Centrx→ talk • 17:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I do not care if you leave Wikipedia, and creating a new username does not require you to leave Wikipedia. Simply, if there is real risk the way to prevent it while continuing to use Wikipedia is to create a new username that is not associated with your old usernames. Potentially libellous or privileged statements pertaining to a person's real name are more serious than no such statements pertaining to an anonym. — Centrx→ talk • 17:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

your comments regarding episode articles on the admin boardAfter becoming embroiled in the seedy underbelly of Wikipolitics following TTN's attempt to merge all Angel episodes, I was starting to become discouraged from editing. What initially attracted me to Wikipedia was the idea that working together, we can incrementally create a great article - but some experienced editors on the discussion that followed made it sound as though official policy was merge/delete everything except GAs. I just wanted to say that I think you've outlined your position very well on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Episodes, basically articulating everything I wanted to say about the spirit of Wikipedia but didn't know how.

Q ImagesHi, I wanted to bring up another similar issue with the images on the Q (Star Trek) page. There are 2 fair use images there of the same subject now, and quite frankly, I prefer your image because it captures the subject in a more common appearance throughout the series, in the red Starfleet uniform, rather than the God image in the infobox. However, I do think the God image has a better full face view. Wondering if we can't find an image in the red uniform with more of a complete face view to replace them both. I looked at memory alpha, and there was one, but it was from early TNG seasons, and I think it would be better if we got a more current one, from later TNG seasons, or even Voyager.

As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well.

As you requested, the daughter page was merged into the main article as the info really belongs to the main article. Now, what should I do? I proposed the daughter article up to deletion. Is that what I have to do? Shahid • Talk2me 13:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Terra PrimeA
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Terra Prime, suggesting that it be deleted according to the
proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the on the large margins of the Iranian peoplesThe estimates vary. Not in all countries censuses are taken in which ethnicity is asked, so for an elaborate discussion on numbers you should go to the demographics of those countries mentioned. I myself have named a few sources for my edits the Soviet census of 1989 and ethnologue, all the other numbers are based on sources too. Margins are large because we are dealing with estimates in a large number of countries.

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not.

Image:Abdurrahman YALÇINKAYA.pngThanks for uploading Image:Abdurrahman YALÇINKAYA.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives 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.

MECU≈ talk 01:13, 9 January 2007 (UTC) Kurdish inhabited regionsPlease take a look at the notice that you placed at the head of Kurdish inhabited regions. The notice asks you not to depopulate the category. Seeing as this is a policy which you yourself have used in preparing the category for deletion, the category has now been repopulated. You are also reminded that this category is politically sensitive, and widespread deletions lack such sensitivity. Please let the deletion process run its course, and, if the decision is to delete the category, the links to it from articles may be removed by hand or by bot. As the policy is quite clear depopulating categories again will result in you being temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia. — Gareth Hughes 12:19, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Category:Religion in KurdistanCool Cat: I have some questions for you: How can you nominate a good category, like Category:Religion in Kurdistan for deletion within 22 minutes [1] after I created the category? Secondly, why didn't you have the courtesy to inform me (as the creator of this category) that you were nominating it for deletion? Finally, how on Earth can you say that the "Category is too specific and underpopulated" when many millions of people live in Kurdistan and most practice one religion or another? IZAK 12:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Cool Cat: Many regions in the world are "undefined" and over history they get redefined many times over, all usually depending on who wins the last war/s, so cut out the nonsense please. Do you know how many times Alsace-Lorraine has been "German-French-German-French etc"? Or that the Native Americans are historically marginalized in the USA even though they have the longest history in it? The point is that the existence and definition of ethnic/cultural/religious/geographic groups is not an exact science so to resort to false requests for "defined" this-and-that is not just missing the point but is clear-cut obfuscation that is proabably hiding a simple POV prejudice against a group, and in this case it's the Kurds, and my particular focus, the Kurdish Jews that I will not permit to get lost in the shuffling of the decks for no good purpose here. Finally, 22 minutes to nomnate for deletion a category devoted to "Religion in Kurdistan" merely because you think it's problematic is simply not a good enough enough excuse. You could have at least let me know in any case. Thanks. IZAK 14:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cool Cat: You persist in coming over to my talk page and warning me about "personal attacks" and "disruptions" yet I have no idea what you are talking about because you do not give me any examples of EXACTLY what you claim are "personal attacks" or "disruptions."

I meant, that the general question is whether (1) there is an region, comprised of parts of several nations, that can be called Kurdistan.& if there is, whether it has geographic boundaries such that one can say a village is in it or not in it. , or, (2) if there is no multi-national region to which the name Kurdistan can be applied, whether there is one which can appropriately be called by some other name, and if there is such a region, whether it has geographic boundaries such that one can say a village is in it or not in it.

Actually, yes, but not with templates. You're a Commons admin, and I guess that would make you an expert on transwikying stuff to Commons. I've been trying to clean out the backlog of images needing copied, but it's a bit tedious. If Commons is down, can't upload. If Wikipedia is down, can't find images to download. If the toolserver is down, can't get Magnus's commonshelper to work (and too lazy to do it by hand). If the upload server is having a bad day - and that seems to be around half the times I try - no downloads. It feels like I must be being really dim here and that I'm missing something obvious. Is there an easier way to do things, particularly in terms of grabbing the images off Wikipedia? Thanks in advance, Angus McLellan (Talk) 16:27, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

April InformationA 'rude' Riva72Hello! I am sorry for disturbing you here at the English Wikipedia project but I was forced to do this by the Commons user WarX. He has completely blocked my access to the Commons with no sensible reason. I have to quote his reason written in Polish (sic!) which reads: papa Riva72, tylko kto cie teraz zrewertuje? I provide the translation here: 'ByeBye Riva72, who's gonna revert you now?'. In my opinion, he may have chosen Polish as not to be understood by the majority of the Commons users. I am not rude.. The actions of the Polish Wikipedians like WarX are rude. They are not the professionals. They 'do not like Riva72' euphemism :) and, as they cannot do otherwise, they 'revenge themselves' that way which is funny. Cool Cat, I ask you to unblock my access to the Commons (both ways).. I will not do any edits (if not forced to by crucial reasons..) and I will not upload any pictures to the Commons in the future. Tell me if it is possible to prohibit the Polish Wikipedia use the castle in Podhorce images.. It is important for the author of the photos and for me if they were not displayed with the Polish Wikipedia.. I have noticed this blockade by WarX while I was saving the following words at your Commons discussion page: I have placed these two images to be deleted. I have placed the proper template as the deletion request. The templates were 'taken' (the revert action by odder) with no explanation given. I see this user action as irrational or vicious. The National Bank of Ukraine holds the copyrights to the coins issued by them and, therefore, to the coins images. The presence of these images in the Commons is the obvious 'copyvio' case. I was not aware of the fact that the coin images are copyrighted by law while uploading these photos to the Commons. The photos in question: [8], [9]. -- Riva72 00:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC) I am sorry for these words and I thank you for understanding. Fortunately, I have this 'Riva 72' account at the English Wikipedia. Have a nice Sunday! -- Riva72 00:27, 1 April 2007 (UTC) P.S. The war over the Castle in Podhorce began when I placed the following words under the article (which was written by me and edited only by me): The article is dedicated to Oksana, the lady who got me interested in the castle's history and who helped me to collect the resources and provided with photos of the castle. It was written in Polish nice and easy. I assumed it would be a nice accent to the article, a nice attribution to the author of the photos according to the licence provided. The dedication was an eyesore. Made people jealous? :) It was constantly removed. As far as I know no editor (publisher) removes the author's dedications because such action is a pure vandalism. Anyway, the history of the article and all discussions available there are very interesting.. Therefore, it is the most interesting and the most colourful article in the entire Polish Wikipedia section. :) The article on the castle is also the place where the Commons user Ejdzej showed his ignorance in a spectacular way as far as architecture details are concerned (for which he was blushing for a few days..). He simply made a fool of himself. That is again the argument to hate Riva72. :) The whole affair reminds me of Helen and the battle of Troy. :) You can read it and, therefore, judge yourself if Riva72 was trolling. There were none disruptive activities on the Polish Wikipedia on my part. :) Some Wikipedian administrators (mainly some Polish ones) are famous for 'closing mouths' of their discussion opponents in the forms of blockades when these "respectable" administrators run out of rational arguments. -- Riva72 00:54, 1 April 2007 (UTC) + -- Riva72 07:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Amnesty International collected the names of more than 17,000 people who had "disappeared" during 1988. [2] The campaign has been characterized as genocidal in nature, notably before a court in The Hague. It is also characterized as gendercidal, because "battle-age" men were the primary targets, according to Human Rights Watch/Middle East (hereafter, HRW/ME)." If we can add this section to it. "This military operation, code-named the "Al-Anfal" campaign, resulted in the death of at least 180,000 people" Source: Humanitarian Intervention: the United Nations in an evolving world order - Page 183 by Sean D.

An arbitration case involving you has been filed. Feel free to comment there. -- Cat chi? 13:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC) A questionHello! This is the last post for you from me both here and the Commons. I have this question: Can the author of the photo which is uploaded by her (or her representative) to the Commons under 'Creative Commons Attribution 2.5' licence prohibit one of the sections of the Wikipedia encyclopedia (the Polish Wikipedia section) to use the author's photo to illustrate an article available there? The author wants to inform about this in the permission section of the photo summary info box. I ask for a serious answer.. My question concerns the Podhorce castle images and the following note [15] which was reverted by the user called Ejdzej. Of course it may (maybe should) be shortened to the information that: The author of the photo prohibit the Polish Wikipedia to use her work which should be respected.. I consent to the three months blockade (which is still unjust) but we (the author and I who uploaded the pictures) still want to prohibit the Polish Wikipedia section to use the set of eight photos known as 'Caspod1-8.gif' to illustrate the seriously distorted article available at the Polish Wikipedia.

Please, explain me the reason for a one-year-blockade (at the Commons) which I was punished with a few minutes ago by the Commons user called WarX. The reason given by them is vandalizing image descriptions. This is a vicious action by the user because I have not vandalized any image decriptions.. I (as the author of the photos and the authorized person to do the upload as far as images called 'Caspod1-8.gif' are concerned and having the rights granted by law) changed the licences of some images from 'cc-by-sa-2.5' to 'cc-by-nd-2.5'. I inform that I have not changed the licences of the photos I wish to remain in the public domain and I state that I will not change this decision in the future. I request you for the explanation. I am sorry to disturb you and engage you in this matter but I was forced to do it. -- Riva72 00:29, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Riva72: To the user called Ejdzej: You are really a misleading person and not reliable what is a shame for the administrator.. as: Your upload of the [18] to the article on [19] was done on March 5,2007 - proof: [20]]. You voted to preserve the article on the castle in Podhorce on March 3, 2007 - proof: [21] - - no further comments - (213.199.192.60 15:07, 3 April 2007). Ejdzej: That's all true. - (A.J. 15:35, 3 April 2007). It is only the fragment of the discussion. I welcome you to read it all at: [22] -- Riva72 08:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)-- Riva72 08:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Cool Cat, I ask for your personal deletion of the photos I tagged yesterday. My other statements in this chapter remain unchanged. -- Riva72 08:39, 4 April 2007 (UTC) The photos which licence has changed: P.S. The user called Ejdzej violated the law and broke the previous 'cc-by-sa-2.5' licences given to these photos while he/she(?) blocked me for altering them, i.e. for making derivative works for which I again possess all the rights. He was even so rude and irrational to call the reason for my blockade: spoiling of images.. -- Riva72 08:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC) I am sorry I have to remind the "administrators" like the user called Ejdzej that according to the (Attribution-ShareAlike 2.5 - legal code) it is allowed to create and reproduce Derivative Works. -- Riva72 09:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
Nevertheless, please inform me how I can gently remove the photos (which were linked above) from the Commons depository. This will be my last action at the Commons and after that I would like you, Cool Cat, to remove my profile and my user page.. Thanks for understanding (and patience). -- Riva72 09:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC) According to the newest information by the user called Ejdzej (which name, by the way, sounds awfully..) posted at the Commons ANB discussion user-problems page I wish to inform that I have never trusted the users called Ejdzej and Warx. Besides - recently - I have lost my trust to the Commons and to the Wikipedia projects. I am strongly convinced that the projects ways are dirty.. -- Riva72 09:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Bear in mind that I had the right to change the licence types of some (if not all the photos uploaded by me) of these photos (mainly the photos called 'Caspod1-8.gif') as their previous licence cc-by-sa-2.5 was breached by the user called Ejdzej.. while blocking me and reverting the derative works of these photos.

hi cool cat, I don't understand the rationale behind your excision of the phrase secularist-leaning from the articel. it was a very clear part. when you say something made the people suspicious it means it may have made the WHOLE people suspicious.

hi Cool Cat, I yet again don't understate something, you removed the two citation needed templates I put on the article.

You could remove just one , the one at the middle of the sentence but you removed both. The section is still un-cited and if I put that template again I'm afraid you'll probably remove them again? Why did you remove them, is looking clearer more important than battling biased sentences? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.245.114.193 ( talk • contribs)

Castles in FranceTo User:Angusmclellan, User:Cool Cat, User:Jamie Mercer, User:Bluap, User:Postlebury, User:LukeHoC, User:Johnbod, User:Sam Blacketer I'm writing to you because you contributed to the discussion on Category:Castles in France, which resulted in the category being deleted, or redirected articles in that category. This decision, as I hope to show, was wrong and needs to be reversed. Please take the time to read the following and respond. Firstly, I should say that I did not take part in the discussion because I did not know it was taking place. (I was actually in France following the presidential election campaign and, ironically, taking photos of French castles!) My reasons for questioning the decision are: 1. As far as I can discover, the debate was not advertised on the Wikipedia:WikiProject France page, so that editors with a declared interest in topics related to France could be aware of it. 2. Similarly, no mention was made on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Castles page. It would have been sensible to at least mention the proposal in these projects and to seek advice. 3. The problem identified is very real. The French word château does not translate easily into English. It can mean a castle (in the usual English understanding of the word - a medieval, military defensive structure). It can mean palace/stately home/ mansion (and in fact, English speakers will frequently use the word château with that meaning). It can mean a vineyard, with or without a castle or palace attached. And, even more confusingly, the thousands of water towers in France are named château d'eau. 4. Even the French sometimes need clarification. In recent years, French language guide books have often described castles as châteaux-forts to distinguish them from the palaces. 5. Some months ago I came across a page in Wikipedia called List of castles in France ([ original]). This made the mistake of including article links solely because of the word château in the title; in fact only about half of the list were real castles - the rest were palaces etc and even some vineyards. I set about revising the list and along with other editors we managed to get the page as it appears now. We have gone on to add dozens more articles, particularly by translating pages from the French Wikipedia. All of these articles were categorised as Castles in France; any then categorised under Châteaux in France were moved over to Castles in France. The Châteaux in France category was left to be just for French palaces etc (i.e. what we as English speakers would call châteaux). 6. The Category:Castles by country lists 56 sub-categories and many of these are further divided (e.g. Castles in the United Kingdom is divided into Castles in England, Castles in Scotland, etc). The only country without a category concentrating on castles is France and this is a serious oversight. Anyone looking for details of castles in France now has to wade through a category that is not dedicated to castles! 7. The problems you identified with the original Category:Châteaux in France are real and need to be sorted, but this has been made worse by now lumping in all of the castle articles. Château de Puivert, for example, does not belong in the same category as Palace of Versailles, any more than Conisbrough Castle belongs with Buckingham Palace. I would be interested in your comments, particularly on how to give French castles the same category status as castles in Denmark, Spain, England and other countries. I have to say, the only way I can see that happening is to reinsate the Castles in France category as it was and for some work to be done on where the real problem lies - in the Châteaux in France category.

Air episodes - JuhachiThere was much discussion in the past on the removal of these pages. Don't tell me you've forgotten the pages and pages of discussion on this.-- 十 八 22:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I'll say this: I'd be more willing to accept an Air (anime) page provided that more info about the anime itself was included, such as what you said with how the anime was developed, or how it was criticized. DVD sales could also be included, and now that the anime has been licensed, the latter two may not be too hard to find, but then anime development may be difficult to find into on and to cite. Currently, there is nothing on this version to make it it's own article as all that info can be found on the main article under the Anime section, and the Story arcs section which seems much more relavent to cite its inclusion in the game rather than how it was distributed in the anime that came after it. I'm talking about precedent here, so the game should always come first. Moreover, I can see that you were accepting a bit of my cleanup strategies, such as with this revision, and going along with the merging to Sora (Air) and Potato (Air) into Yukito Kunisaki and Kano Kirishima, so I can see that we may be able to work together provided we reach a concensus. About {{ Air}}, I would much rather use one template, {{ Key}} to apply to all of Keys works in order to avoid redundancy and make it easier to navigate with a single template to edit rather than 6 (Key has 6 games now). The Key template once was organized according to series, seen here but I reorginized it to the current version because it looked better this was with how it is originized now. Also, to reduce clutter, this version was replaced by including Category:Kanon characters in the template, and the same could be done for the Air characters I believe. And then only Kanon and Air have enough articles to constitute organization by series, as Clannad alone only has 3 and the other 3 games only have a main article, and soundtracks since the other three don't even have anime adaptations to them. As for the proposal you just gave me on my talk page, it's a sound idea, but the only reason I wanted a 2 month postpone is because I am in college right now and I will have no time to really delve into this massive project until the summer. My belief is that if all of the articles were done at the same time (as in work on them in namespace and then copy/paste into article space when finished with all of them), users such as Ned Scott would not have much to work with in terms of the guidelines set out in WP:EPISODE. Right now, most are stubs without references, so he has enough info to warrent deletion.-- 十 八 23:33, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

This is probably a bad idea because it will not receive much traffic. Namely, people respond to RfCs in related subject areas after posting their own RfCs, and people watchlist RfCs in subject areas they are interested. This is much less likely to happen if RfCs are divided by function rather than subject area. For example, people who have more insight into issues about Kurdistan and who care enough to comment would be the people interested in politics and history. Also, such a specific page will likely have fewer RfCs in general, so fewer people coming to the page. — Centrx→ talk • 16:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

ThanksThanks for the BarnSakura. :) - Malkinann 02:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC) Turkish KurdistanI've had a bit of time to think about this now. I think there are legitimate reasons for keeping this article mostly as it is. Each of the four "Kurdistans" (Iraqi, Iranian, Syrian and Turkish) have significantly differing post-Ottoman history and politics, and present somewhat different issues. There's more than enough content in both Turkish Kurdistan and Iraqi Kurdistan to justify the separate existence of those articles. Having said that, I think we could probably move some of the pre-1918 content in Turkish Kurdistan into the main Kurdistan article, along the lines of how Iraqi Kurdistan is structured. -- ChrisO 15:35, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
User sig substitutionsDo you not consider edits such as this an enormous waste of database and bandwidth resources? What is the point in many hundreds of edits to make what is simply a cosmetic change to a historical signature? Thanks/ wangi 19:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
"anyone sane would complain about their talk archives receiving this cleanup" - you're completely missing the point of what signatures are for. They are to identify and date your talk page contributions, nothing more. They are not a style statement. There's nothing wrong with the way they were, you're just wasting server resources to update to your latest "best sig ever" - it's pointless. Thanks/ wangi 07:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC) This is why we don't allow things like templates for sigs, because every time you changed the sig it would then have to update for each page. I'm surprised this got approved. Mass edits for a stylistic sig change is not something you're supposed to do. -- Ned Scott 09:50, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

The whole signature issueWhite Cat had a username change recently. He is changing his signatures to link from his old username to his new one, and fixing some sigs which had images (which is frowned upon). Some of these edits are on archived pages. Archived page guidelines say they shouldn't be edited; generally assumed to mean the comments should not be changed and new comments should not be added. Images are often removed from archives, or changed to other versions - what White Cat is doing is changing his sig. This change does not affect the discussion in any way (unless someone was speaking about the signature in particular). He has the right to change his sig, which is not a part of discussions on archived pages, just as others have the right to change theirs and to change images in archives and even to revert changes by others if they think they are inappropriate. However, attacking a user and blindly reverting everything, plus blocking him when he continues to make changes to his own signature, is quite uncalled for. If the issue is particular users not wanting their talk page archives edited, those users should revert the changes themselves - if White Cat changes them back then complaints from the user whose page White Cat edited are in order. Personally if his fix was reverted by someone else I would change it back, as UBeR did here. Blind reversions of other people's talk page archives by a different user just makes the page pop up once again on everyone's watchlist, and is annoying to those who did not mind the signature change to begin with. This is a signature, which within loose guidelines (not too long, not too large height-wise, preferably no images) is free for the user to create, change, design, modify, etc.. Archives should not be edited for the purpose of changing or adding to the discussion, but modifying something like a signature does not cause problems in most instances. If it does, reverting back to the old signature is fine, yes. Otherwise let White Cat fix his signature as he pleases; the only people getting hurt by this edit war and these discussions are the users who are getting angry and the people going out of their way to revert him. — Editor at Large (speak) 22:24, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Edit warring on Kurdistan Workers Party and User:QwlFirst, I would apologise again for not realising that the edit summary comments were a personal attack. If I had realised I would have blocked the editor for that violation, as well as the 3RR. I did not issue a block in this instance because, although 3RR was violated, User:Qwl was not continuing the revert war and the article had been "cleaned" of their edits. As blocking is preventative rather than punitive I saw no point in blocking an editor who was no longer making those edits, so I decided to issue a warning instead. I hope this explains my actions and non-actions. LessHeard vanU 19:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Iraq operationsThere are currently 3 Different lists of Iraq Operations; Iraqi coalition counter-insurgency operations(which is also somewhat POV), a chonological list and an alphabetical list. I have added a lot of operations to the alphabetical listing and have been updating it faithfully but I haven't updated the counter insurgency or the Chonological listing much. Before I do I recommend that we consider other methods. I figured out how to add a column sort function and added it to the Alphabetical listing. I recommend the other 2 articles be merged into the alphabetical listing and then we can rename the alphabetical listing to something more appropriate like Iraq Military Operations since 2003 perhaps. I added a blurb on the discussion page and recommended the merge for the chronological list and the counter insurgency operations page.

Thanks for uploading Image:Star_Trek-First_Contact-Phoenix.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Videmus Omnia Talk 02:55, 20 August 2007 (UTC) Fair use rationale for
Thanks for uploading or contributing to the above images. I notice the image 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. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description pages and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. 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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

September InformationImage:Kurdish Kingdoms of Corduene-Sophene.jpgThe stuff you removed ( [52]) was swearing in Turkish. "Not land, you'll get arm sized dick". Thought you would want to know. Also why are you categorizing images from commons on en.wiki? (Your categorization is a bit controversial even if you did not intend this btw) -- Cat chi? 10:54, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) It is really not important to me either way. Feel free to categorize the Kurdistan-related maps in whatever way you want. I was following the previous naming precedents in the related articles. I did not participate in those discussions. I was just categorizing maps. From Kurdistan (disambiguation): Kurdistan may refer to:
It seems that in English "Kurdistan" means the whole region. But I could be wrong. But I will not object to any categorization scheme you come up with concerning those maps. Just go ahead and do it.-- Timeshifter 13:22, 3 September 2007 (UTC) I just noticed this wikipedia category: Category:Kurdish inhabited regions. I have an idea...-- Timeshifter 13:59, 3 September 2007 (UTC) I emptied the "Maps of Kurdistan" category, and recategorized the maps to Category:Maps of Kurdish-inhabited regions. At least this way I am not inventing anything out of thin air; since there already existed Category:Kurdish inhabited regions.-- Timeshifter 14:08, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) Maps have long been categorized in map categories. We now have commons:Category:Maps of Kurdish-inhabited regions and commons:Category:Maps of Iraqi Kurdistan. I moved the images in the commons "Maps of Kurdistan" category to those 2 categories. The news media today uses "Kurdistan" to refer to w:Iraqi Kurdistan. See this Sept. 2, 2007 Chicago Tribune article:
So I think this category breakdown is clearer for the average reader of wikipedia and the news. And it avoids the confusion surrounding the old and new meanings of Kurdistan. See the geography section of w:Kurdistan. I believe wikipedia is supposed to lean toward the common names today. -- Timeshifter 17:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
(unindent) There is no statement of endorsement. It is just a long-used, cross-border regional category. From the introduction of Category:Kurdistan that someone copied from the Kurdistan article:
Many category names cover controversial topics. There is no endorsement by wikipedia. Just like there is no endorsement implied by the names for many categories covering controversial issues. People have to read and make up their own minds. For example: and all the subcategories in the "by country" categories, etc. within these categories:

Image reviewThe idea might have some merit. However, a WikiProject is probably not the best way to go. What we're probably talking about here would be something along the lines of policy, not project. As such, it would probably be best to propose it at the Wikipedia:Village pump, possibly as a suggested policy guideline, with a page written out describing what you think the actions, qualifications, and limitations of the group would be. Be aware that a lot of people would react negatively to anything they perceive as being "beauracracy creep", and that this has a real chance of becoming that. Alternately, you might contact the people at Wikimedia Commons about setting up such a group there, as all free images are allegedly being tried to be deposited there anyway.

The redirect page titled ML Inequality currently reads as above. To change the second link to "estimation lemma" makes no sense at all. Please don't do that. Michael Hardy 17:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I've never seen a clearer case of unwillingness to understand. Please look at what the page says. Look at the profoundly stupid form in which your bot left the page. Look at my edit that fixed the problem. My edit is consistent with the policies you cite, so you should have no objection to it on those grounds. On the other hand your edit obviously defeats a purpose that helps Wikipedia. "Softredirect" is for a different purpose. Michael Hardy 23:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I disbelieve your statement that your bot's absurd edit is required by that page. Damage done by your bot IS your problem. Why do you ask what the purpose is? The purpose is obvious. Don't come to me citing policies that say different things from what you claim they say. I have no problem with fixing double redirects; if that's ALL your bot did I'd have no problem with it. But it did something else. Michael Hardy 23:31, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm not fighting mediawiki; you're fighting common sense. You say "That is a double redirect as far as mediawiki is concerned". That defies common sense. Policies exist for a reason. And if you're against even that kind of so-called "double redirect", why didn't you just remove the link, so the words would appear there with no link, instead of replacing it with something absurd and incomprehensible?

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Porthos-frengi.jpg)Thanks for uploading Image:Porthos-frengi.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

It was in 1995, not 1994. All of the sources on the page say so. So do news archive reports...I think you have some incorrect information. PBP 20:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, you are incorrect. See [56], [57], [58], [59], [60], and every news source from 1995, all of which state that Turkey went into northern Iraq in 1995. I started the article using sources from 1995. And yet you bring up a single source from a non-news site that says it took place in 1994. It's my five sources (and I could go on) versus your one. PBP 22:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Here: http://www.fas.org/irp/congress/1995_cr/s950328-turkey.htm . Convinced yet? This is a congressional record from 1995. PBP 22:59, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Here are two more sources that conclusively prove the incursion was in 1995: [62] [63]. Please do not drag this out any further...this is a rather trivial issue, yes, but you seem unwilling to accept the truth. I have provided seven sources that say "Operation Steel" was in 1995, yet you provide one source that says it was in 1994. No other source refers to such an operation in 1994, therefore your source is mistaken. It's like saying the Iraq war started in 2002 instead of 2003. It's not reality. Please accept that the incursion was in 1995, or I will get an admin's intervention in this matter, and they will with certainty side with me. Please. PBP 02:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
You are being dicussed on ANISee this. Viridae Talk 03:35, 12 October 2007 (UTC) Duplicity and WikipediaThe method you employed for having those categories deleted (by misrepresenting the time they had been empty) is unacceptable. The merits of "Kurdistan" nonwithstanding, you employed deletion templates in such a way as to perform an "end run" on consensus by essentially tricking someone into deleting them under false pretenses. A user with your experience should know better, and this type of action is simply not proper. This, in conjunction with the many other dramas you've been the center of over the past two years is making it difficult for me to assume that you're consistently editing in good faith or using good judgment. Reconsider the means you're employing to edit the project, this can't continue. - CHAIRBOY ( ☎) 13:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

While you're at it, you could also explain to me how simply removing SD tags is preferable to replacing them with the proper tag, as I am careful to do at en.wiki.

All of the comments on the mediation page and on the disputed talk pages refer to Coolcat. It may be appropriate to delete these old mediation requests as useless cruft, but altering their contents is misleading and pointless. This has been discussed on ANI, and you were told to stop making these changes. — Centrx→ talk • 15:52, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
Dropping the matter includes you stopping. — Centrx→ talk • 16:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
There is nothing private about the name "Cool Cat", your new username is directly associated with "Cool Cat" in several places, and your actions have increased those associations. You are lying. — Centrx→ talk • 16:23, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
The only way changing text on Wikipedia would protect your privacy is if that text itself contained personal information, such as if your old username were your real name. If someone had personal information about Cool Cat, they hold that personal information and can act upon it regardless of whether you change your username on Wikipedia. If there is some personal information associated with the name "Cool Cat" which you do not want to be discovered by Wikipedia editors who interact with "White Cat", then the way to prevent that is to create a wholly new username severed from connection with "Cool Cat". Otherwise, anyone can easily look at the old contribs of your user and see your old username--and those contribs are much more obvious because of your signature changes,--not to mention that you list your old usernames directly on User:White Cat. — Centrx→ talk • 16:43, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
You need to "throw away" your contributions in order to prevent "great rl risk", which is your present justification for altering archives. If there is no real risk, then you have no justification. We courtesy-blank rather than move AfDs that contain a person's real name and hateful or personal information against his will, so I don't see why we would move a page that contains no personal information and that was created by the person himself. — Centrx→ talk • 17:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
I do not care if you leave Wikipedia, and creating a new username does not require you to leave Wikipedia. Simply, if there is real risk the way to prevent it while continuing to use Wikipedia is to create a new username that is not associated with your old usernames. Potentially libellous or privileged statements pertaining to a person's real name are more serious than no such statements pertaining to an anonym. — Centrx→ talk • 17:17, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

I thought I should ask your permission before doing so. Please let me know if this is all right with you. Fullmetal2887 ( discuss me) 02:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
your comments regarding episode articles on the admin boardAfter becoming embroiled in the seedy underbelly of Wikipolitics following TTN's attempt to merge all Angel episodes, I was starting to become discouraged from editing. What initially attracted me to Wikipedia was the idea that working together, we can incrementally create a great article - but some experienced editors on the discussion that followed made it sound as though official policy was merge/delete everything except GAs. I just wanted to say that I think you've outlined your position very well on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Episodes, basically articulating everything I wanted to say about the spirit of Wikipedia but didn't know how. So thanks. Kweeket 21:58, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

What would be your position in creating a sub-page and moving the birth date and name related information (including the images from commons) to this article and give a short summary and a link to that article. In-favor of this move is the current size of the article and there will be separate "talk" page for this very controversial issue. There are couple threads in the main article, and it seems this repeats every couple months. -- Rateslines 17:52, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Your extensive addition gave the perfect beginning. It had citations, normal text development... So and so.. Hope we can do the same type of analysis for other controversial, but important, "Personal" issues. I was even thinking putting a family tree (graphical) under this new sub-article, but they will all take time. This is not my full my time job. :-)) His family background has been controversial for many years. I sincerely believe the value of this page. I'm not rejecting the point of reliable sources. I think it is time. -- Rateslines 00:47, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Q ImagesHi, I wanted to bring up another similar issue with the images on the Q (Star Trek) page. There are 2 fair use images there of the same subject now, and quite frankly, I prefer your image because it captures the subject in a more common appearance throughout the series, in the red Starfleet uniform, rather than the God image in the infobox. However, I do think the God image has a better full face view. Wondering if we can't find an image in the red uniform with more of a complete face view to replace them both. I looked at memory alpha, and there was one, but it was from early TNG seasons, and I think it would be better if we got a more current one, from later TNG seasons, or even Voyager.

Notification of Request for Arbitration "TTN, part Deux"I've requested Arbitration regarding TTN's numerous edits to TV and other fiction articles, and included you as an "involved party" in the request. The request can be found at Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#TTN.2C_part_Deux, and you should add a statement to the section somewhere under mine.

Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ WP:LOTD) 17:30, 15 November 2007 (UTC) Smile

It might piss the arbitrators off a bit, and the last thing you want is to not be able to weigh in if and when the case is accepted. (Or have your opinion discounted because "that dude doesn't know when to stop") Besides, you gotta save something for the actual case page itself. :P -- Y|yukichigai ( ramble argue check) 09:12, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

As we did for last year's election, we are again compiling a Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table. This table contains a column "Portfolio" for links that display candidates' pertinent skills. I will be going through each candidate's statements and gradually populate the column, but this may take some time. Please feel free to add some links in the form [link|c] if you feel it shows conflict resolution skills, or [link|o] otherwise. It would also be helpful if you can check if the information about you is correct. My motivation is that as a voter, I don't want to just rely on a candidate's words, but also see their actions. Moreover, I believe a portfolio of "model cases" to remember in difficult situations can be useful for each candidate, as well. I believe that conflict resolution skills are most pertinent to the position, but if you want to highlight other skills, please feel free to use a new letter and add it to Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee Elections December 2007/Summary table#Columns of this table. — Sebastian 05:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello! Back in time you had added a merge template to the Preity Zinta article and its daughter article. As you requested, the daughter page was merged into the main article as the info really belongs to the main article. Now, what should I do? I proposed the daughter article up to deletion. Is that what I have to do? Shahid • Talk2me 13:50, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Not in all countries censuses are taken in which ethnicity is asked, so for an elaborate discussion on numbers you should go to the demographics of those countries mentioned. I myself have named a few sources for my edits the Soviet census of 1989 and ethnologue, all the other numbers are based on sources too. Margins are large because we are dealing with estimates in a large number of countries.

The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.
