The Military history WikiProject has started its 2012 project coordinator election process, where we will select a team of coordinators to organize the project over the coming year. If you would like to be considered as a candidate, please submit your nomination by 14 September. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact one of the current coordinators on their talk page.

Hi, Diannaa. I'm leaving this message to encourage you to consider adding your name to the list of coordinators currently being considered for the upcoming Military history Wikiproject coordinator election. It is my belief that you will make an outstanding coordinator for the milhist project, and would be a valuable and beneficial member to the milhist coordinator team. Of course it is ultimately your decision as to whether you will run or not, but know that as a librarian and a GOCE Coordinator Emeritus you have a very unique skill set that would be of extraordinary benefit to the team.
If you have any questions about the position or its duties/responsibilities please do not hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page or email. I would be happy to answer your question(s) as best I can. If you decide that you would rather not run then I will simple encourage you to vote when the option to do so is made available.
Yours very sincerely and respectfully,

Your Opinion is More Important than You Think Barnstar | ||
I can relate to that quite well, as I am coming off my own 12 month hiatus from the coordinator's circle. It is not per se hard work, but the work is both time consuming and tedious, so I can certainly understand a desire to pursue your own interests. Stay safe, and I will see you along the wiki-road. In the mean time, for your reply to my request and the polite turn down that accompanied it, I present you with the Your Opinion is More Important than You Think Barnstar.

"You can't redirect them to each other. There's no way for people to leave messages."
Do you have any clue of how to proceed with the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Heinrich Hoffmann Images? The uploader was just blocked as a result of a different discussion, so it may be difficult to obtain information from the uploader. Also, lots of other images uploaded by this user have a pre-1923 template without any source or evidence of publication. The user has uploaded lots of important images, but there is little information to prove the PD status and I'm not sure how to handle WP:NFCC#10a, or how to verify that WP:NFCC#2 or WP:NFCC#4 aren't violated. In the discussion at the military history project page, the user wrote that the images had been published "on postcards", but I'm not sure if this is specific enough. How do I verify this information? By checking all postcards published before 1923? -- Stefan2 ( talk) 12:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Every image uploaded by Bolekpolivka (114 images), Weissundblau (2 images), and Mariaflores1955 (454 images) and any further sockpuppets that we locate will have to be checked. The way to do this is to make a chart/spreadsheet because we will have to

Sorry for asking but I entered the following searching string "Ritterkreuz" at the ARC. It resulted in the following hit.
Portraits of Nazi Personalities, compiled 1930 - 1940 ARC Identifier 540165 / Local Identifier 242-HBA Photographs and other Graphic Materials from the General Services Administration. National Archives and Records Service. Office of the National Archives. (ca. 1949 - 1985) Still Picture Records Section, Special Media Archives Services Division, College Park, MD Series from Record Group 242: National Archives Collection of Foreign Records Seized, 1675 - 1958
if you then click on the Scope&Content tab it tells the following:
Portraits of members of the first Hitler government, NSDAP leaders and military figures, including Hitler, Lutze, Hess, Heydrich, Keitel, Goebbels, Huhnlein, Goring, Ribbentrop, Scholz Klink, Blomberg, Dropmuller, Oberlindober, Darre, von Helldorf, and others, and portraits of selected winners of the Ritterkreuz (Knight's Cross). A few photographs of medals and handbills are included.
How do I find out what images are included? MisterBee1966 ( talk) 19:27, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
FYI: I found another sockpuppet report: Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Mariaflores1955. Only IPs, so no file uploads. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 21:41, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
Just to tell you about a nice discovery: see this Flickr stream. It contains lots of photos of the same kind as the ones uploaded by Maria Flores and the text on the photos make it clear that the photos are taken from a printed source, likely postcards. I would say that any images found in that Flickr stream are fine as far as WP:NFCC#4 is concerned.
Diannaa, can you undelete the local copy of File:Adalbertprinceofbavaria.jpg? It's still copyrighted in Germany, so the Commons copy has to be deleted. This copy looks like a postcard, so the photo has definitely been published, but I'm not sure if we can decide that it was published before 1923. In either case, it proves that the photo was published, so it qualifies for fair use if nothing else. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 21:38, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa! As you know, I respect your copyediting skills and evaluation greatly, and I'm wondering if you could possibly take a glance at a little article I'm expanding ( Bill Stewart (television journalist)) and give me your opinion on it. I'm not completely done with it yet and am still researching and culling unreferenced tidbits; and I must admit a slight "COI". He was a friend of the family, I met him as a youngster and witnessed the horrible killing on the nightly news. I don't think this sort of graphic footage would be aired today on the nightly news, but as Cronkite explained at the time, "Because it is an important documentation of the savagery of the Nicaraguan war, we will show this ABC News videotape with a warning that parents might not want their children to view it."

Hi, your name was mentioned at Wikipedia_talk:RFA#Statistics_.28and_lies.3F.29, so I decided to stop by and see if you might be willing to answer a couple questions?
1. What motivates you to do a lot of deletions? Is it your primary manner of participation on Wikipedia or a smaller part of your overall work?
2. What sorts of things or interactions make your deletion work less pleasant? What sorts of changes or occurrences would make you less likely to perform the number of deletions you presently perform?
3. Do you have any suggestions on how the deletion process or conduct policies surrounding deletions could be improved to encourage greater admin participation?
Feel free to respond here or at WT:RFA, if you decide to respond. Thanks. MBisanz talk 15:55, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
The amount of deletions I do varies from month to month, as I tend to switch primary tasks quite often to help keep my interest level high. Deletions require a different mindset from writing or re-writing articles. It's a totally different kind of work requiring a different part of the brain. So when I am tired from writing, deletions are a good place to go. Mostly I work in file deletions. It's fun to work with images, especially the user-submitted photos. I started out working on non-controversial simple ones like F8s and F5s, and would leave and watch-list any I wasn't sure about, and then make a note of whether or not I agreed with how the closing admin handled the file. Over time I have become more and more familiar with our rules on freedom of panorama and fair use guidelines and copyright law, to the point where I started closing discussions at WP:PUF. Right now I am working on a case that involves copyright law, fair use, and Nazi Germany; I'm the perfect person for the job. Serendipitous. Since I have acquired a skill-set that allows me to do large numbers of deletions with few errors and few complaints from other users, it's more or less beholden on me to use those skills to help get the work done as best as possible. Another task I do sometimes is checking bot moves to the Commons; to do this task the checker has to be an admin on the sending wiki, so that they can look inside the deleted file and make sure everything arrived safely. There's presently over 61,000 transclusions of the {BotMoveToCommons} template, from all wikis. I have no idea how many of these are from our wiki. It's a simple task that's fun and easy to do, but only admins can do it, so I do it.
I think we have two kinds of admins: those who view it as a promotion, a way to level-up, a hat to collect. Then there's people who once they become an admin they realise that they are now one of the grownups in charge, and they are obliged to try to help in whatever ways best suit their temperament and skills (whether that be vandalism work, closing contentious discussions, or more gnomish stuff). So I think the best way to encourage admins to help out with deletions or any of the other admin tasks is to try to locate and elect the people who fit into the second category. How that would be done I'm not sure, as I am not very politically motivated. -- Dianna ( talk) 22:03, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dianna. I copy edited Tain, Shekhawati as part of the drive, and the article's creator has reverted the whole job with an edit summary saying "Reverting to the older and historically correct version". I think that my copy edit changed nothing of the history, and that this is a case of ownership. I don't like to interact with editors who do that sort of thing, especially as I'm not yet on an even keel about the wasted effort. Please would you take a look and see what is best to be done? By the way, User:Soulparadox has picked up on the re-inserted copyedit tag. I've sent them a heads up about this. Thanks, Simon. -- Stfg ( talk) 08:59, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,
I noticed that you deleted most of the notable
alumni on the article for the alternative school
Preshil, in Melbourne, Australia. I am challenging your deletion of these entries, as I believe that although those alumni may not have been properly source or have their own pages, within context, these alumni are actually very notable. As I could be considered a primary source on this issue, my view is that these entries should have been kept in the article while merely hidden from normal view.
I shall be re-instating these entries into said article (while keeping all relevant entries hidden until they can be properly sourced.

September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

If the photographer was 30 years old in 1890 and died at the age of 90 (which would be in 1950), it is just 62 years after "life of author." The term is ambiguous, but per the template definition refers to the death-year. For unknown photographers, seems unlikely any photo will benefit from the tag, since we are talking of a potential 170 or 180 years in the past here. Yeah, the whole thing is a pain.

Samofi's latest message at his own talk page was so devoid of common sense that it left me astonished. Frankly, this is precisely the sort of behaviour which makes the English Wikipedia an unpleasant place to work. First of all, he isn't only banned from editing Wikipedia for an indefinite duration, but there is even a topic ban he is placed under, which prohibits him making any contributions in Wikipedia that pertains to Hungarian and/or Slovakian ethnic and national disputes, likewise for an indefinite duration [8].
In case, he were to receive an unblock given him for an indefinite duration, and in addition; he were to manage to even convince the Arbitration Comitee about the fact that his topic ban that covers his only one interesting field in Wikipedia should be lifted, he would still be unable to make useful contributions in Wikipedia because of his poor command of English. As a native speaker of English, you can also recognize that none of his sentences is written in grammatically correct English.
I admire anyone who is prepared to edit articles in the areas of the Balkans or Middle East or Hungarian ethnic disputes; you will run into these kinds of people over and over again, which makes it difficult to get any work accomplished, and turns what should be a fun hobby into a bad experience. I'm sorry to hear that you did not get a reply to your email to the Arbitration Committee. It's true that a moderator reviews them all and only some are forwarded along, but even so, they receive hundreds of emails every single day, and it's possible yours did not get the attention it deserved. Unfortunately there's no way to address Samofi's comments about your editing or get him to apologise; there's no way to force an apology out of anyone or get them to admit they were wrong, even if they're not blocked. But I can assure you that people who want to find out about you will not pay any attention to what people like him say, but will form their own opinions based on your actions. — Dianna ( talk) 14:34, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I thought that id included a ref. What actually happened was that after he had snapped the amp of poison in his mouth, the doctor told the soldier that was present to get a ladder, a bucket and some warm water. The doctor then took some of the paint from the ceiling in the room they were in, knowing that most paint in those days contained soft distemper, he administered it Himmler by putting a hose down his throat and with a funnel attached to the other end, he poured the mixture of distemper and water into him to try and neautralise the poison. Obviously, it didnt work! Il find the source and put it back in when I get chance. Markdarrly ( talk) 13:55, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

The current version is a copyright violation according to Commons:COM:ART#Photograph of an old sculpture found on the Internet, or in a book, unless you can show that it is an ancient photo. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 18:43, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've just popped in to see if DennisBrown has been able to bang heads together and I saw your note re: the ArbCom issue. You'll find similar stuff for me and RegentsPark, while SpacemanSpiff has indicated on my talk page that they too are most likely going. There is at least one other who has withdrawn but I forget who it is right now. And DennisBrown has suggested on User talk:Boing! said Zebedee that he knows of more likely withdrawals. I am tempted actually to create Category:Wikipedians who are not a Wikipedian but it will, of course, be seen as disruptive. I am hating this, and Indian articles are already getting quite hit hard (probably because the word will have got out on Orkut) but there is a principle at stake and whether it relates to Malleus Fatuorum or someone else is not particularly relevant.
Obviously, I do not expect you to comment. This is just FYI. - Sitush ( talk) 20:18, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
In September 2012, there were 3,193 editors who made 100 or more edits to English Wikipedia. According to Stephen Zhang, 24% of former editors surveyed apparently left due to the unpleasant atmosphere on the site. So what is it about this list of 13 that is inherently more important than the figure you get if you marry those two observations together, even when applying an unrealistically conservative reduction based on the amount of those leavers who probably define 'unpleasant' as 'not WP:CIV'.

Hi Diannaa. I recently edited the Death section of the Ben Wilson (basketball) article to reduce the text to just that supportable by the source. Overnight, an editor has undone my change (via a number of edits) to restore the text. The new source is 'ESPN 30 for 30 film "Benji"'. I obviously prefer my version since it is supported by a secondary source, however I thought I'd ask you if the new text is okay to remain in WP (since it might be a true reflection of the film's information)? I haven't seen the film, so I will have to withdraw from trying to keep the article in-line with policy (which will hand it back into what is obviously a collaboration of fans/friends). If you think the information is fine, since we probably should AGF that it is based on the film, then no problems. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. Cheers.

Hi! When adding {{ db-f5}} to an image, also remember to add a date. Otherwise, the image will remain in the category Category:Orphaned non-free use Wikipedia files as of unknown date 2012 forever. The easiest way to tag a file is to use {{ subst:orfud}}. I see that you added the template to File:Windows 8 start screen.png without a date. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 00:38, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Also, about F8, please check the following files again:
Some revisions of those files exist on Commons under the same name. Things may be a bit confusing with overwritten files. Since F8 only applies to the revisions which have been copied over to Commons, it sometimes means deleting only the current revision (but not the old one), or only the old revision (but not the current one). However, File:Chasamsofer.JPG has been overwritten on both projects, which may be an issue: it might be better to have it split up on Commons first. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 23:39, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi Dianna. Would you be kind enough to take a quick look at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 October 4#Sailing classification where some redirects are proposed for deletion. I've identified three more in the same family, and have asked there whether I can add these or must start a new entry. Adding to the existing entry is preferable if permitted, since the same set of issues arise in all the cases and it would avoid rehearsing all the same arguments twice over (the proposal is contended). The initiator ( User:BDD) has signalled no objection, but I'd like to be sure it's allowed before doing it. Thanks. Simon -- Stfg ( talk) 17:46, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa. I'm leaving this message to encourage you to consider adding your name to the list of coordinators currently being considered for the upcoming Military history Wikiproject coordinator election. It is my belief that you will make an outstanding coordinator for the milhist project, and would be a valuable and beneficial member to the milhist coordinator team. Of course it is ultimately your decision as to whether you will run or not, but know that as a librarian and a GOCE Coordinator Emeritus you have a very unique skill set that would be of extraordinary benefit to the team.
If you have any questions about the position or its duties/responsibilities please do not hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page or email. I would be happy to answer your question(s) as best I can. If you decide that you would rather not run then I will simple encourage you to vote when the option to do so is made available.

"You can't redirect them to each other. There's no way for people to leave messages."
Do you have any clue of how to proceed with the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history#Heinrich Hoffmann Images? The uploader was just blocked as a result of a different discussion, so it may be difficult to obtain information from the uploader. Also, lots of other images uploaded by this user have a pre-1923 template without any source or evidence of publication. The user has uploaded lots of important images, but there is little information to prove the PD status and I'm not sure how to handle WP:NFCC#10a, or how to verify that WP:NFCC#2 or WP:NFCC#4 aren't violated. In the discussion at the military history project page, the user wrote that the images had been published "on postcards", but I'm not sure if this is specific enough. How do I verify this information? By checking all postcards published before 1923? -- Stefan2 ( talk) 12:20, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Sorry for asking but I entered the following searching string "Ritterkreuz" at the ARC. It resulted in the following hit.
Portraits of Nazi Personalities, compiled 1930 - 1940 ARC Identifier 540165 / Local Identifier 242-HBA Photographs and other Graphic Materials from the General Services Administration. National Archives and Records Service. Office of the National Archives. (ca. 1949 - 1985) Still Picture Records Section, Special Media Archives Services Division, College Park, MD Series from Record Group 242: National Archives Collection of Foreign Records Seized, 1675 - 1958
if you then click on the Scope&Content tab it tells the following:
Portraits of members of the first Hitler government, NSDAP leaders and military figures, including Hitler, Lutze, Hess, Heydrich, Keitel, Goebbels, Huhnlein, Goring, Ribbentrop, Scholz Klink, Blomberg, Dropmuller, Oberlindober, Darre, von Helldorf, and others, and portraits of selected winners of the Ritterkreuz (Knight's Cross). A few photographs of medals and handbills are included.

Just to tell you about a nice discovery: see this Flickr stream. It contains lots of photos of the same kind as the ones uploaded by Maria Flores and the text on the photos make it clear that the photos are taken from a printed source, likely postcards. I would say that any images found in that Flickr stream are fine as far as WP:NFCC#4 is concerned.
Diannaa, can you undelete the local copy of File:Adalbertprinceofbavaria.jpg? It's still copyrighted in Germany, so the Commons copy has to be deleted. This copy looks like a postcard, so the photo has definitely been published, but I'm not sure if we can decide that it was published before 1923. In either case, it proves that the photo was published, so it qualifies for fair use if nothing else. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 21:38, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa! As you know, I respect your copyediting skills and evaluation greatly, and I'm wondering if you could possibly take a glance at a little article I'm expanding ( Bill Stewart (television journalist)) and give me your opinion on it. I'm not completely done with it yet and am still researching and culling unreferenced tidbits; and I must admit a slight "COI". He was a friend of the family, I met him as a youngster and witnessed the horrible killing on the nightly news. I don't think this sort of graphic footage would be aired today on the nightly news, but as Cronkite explained at the time, "Because it is an important documentation of the savagery of the Nicaraguan war, we will show this ABC News videotape with a warning that parents might not want their children to view it."

Hi, your name was mentioned at Wikipedia_talk:RFA#Statistics_.28and_lies.3F.29, so I decided to stop by and see if you might be willing to answer a couple questions?
1. What motivates you to do a lot of deletions? Is it your primary manner of participation on Wikipedia or a smaller part of your overall work?
2. What sorts of things or interactions make your deletion work less pleasant? What sorts of changes or occurrences would make you less likely to perform the number of deletions you presently perform?
3. Do you have any suggestions on how the deletion process or conduct policies surrounding deletions could be improved to encourage greater admin participation?
Feel free to respond here or at WT:RFA, if you decide to respond. Thanks. MBisanz talk 15:55, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
The amount of deletions I do varies from month to month, as I tend to switch primary tasks quite often to help keep my interest level high. Deletions require a different mindset from writing or re-writing articles. It's a totally different kind of work requiring a different part of the brain. So when I am tired from writing, deletions are a good place to go. Mostly I work in file deletions. It's fun to work with images, especially the user-submitted photos. I started out working on non-controversial simple ones like F8s and F5s, and would leave and watch-list any I wasn't sure about, and then make a note of whether or not I agreed with how the closing admin handled the file. Over time I have become more and more familiar with our rules on freedom of panorama and fair use guidelines and copyright law, to the point where I started closing discussions at WP:PUF. Right now I am working on a case that involves copyright law, fair use, and Nazi Germany; I'm the perfect person for the job. Serendipitous. Since I have acquired a skill-set that allows me to do large numbers of deletions with few errors and few complaints from other users, it's more or less beholden on me to use those skills to help get the work done as best as possible. Another task I do sometimes is checking bot moves to the Commons; to do this task the checker has to be an admin on the sending wiki, so that they can look inside the deleted file and make sure everything arrived safely. There's presently over 61,000 transclusions of the {BotMoveToCommons} template, from all wikis. I have no idea how many of these are from our wiki. It's a simple task that's fun and easy to do, but only admins can do it, so I do it.
I think we have two kinds of admins: those who view it as a promotion, a way to level-up, a hat to collect. Then there's people who once they become an admin they realise that they are now one of the grownups in charge, and they are obliged to try to help in whatever ways best suit their temperament and skills (whether that be vandalism work, closing contentious discussions, or more gnomish stuff). So I think the best way to encourage admins to help out with deletions or any of the other admin tasks is to try to locate and elect the people who fit into the second category. How that would be done I'm not sure, as I am not very politically motivated. -- Dianna ( talk) 22:03, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,
I noticed that you deleted most of the notable
alumni on the article for the alternative school
Preshil, in Melbourne, Australia. I am challenging your deletion of these entries, as I believe that although those alumni may not have been properly source or have their own pages, within context, these alumni are actually very notable. As I could be considered a primary source on this issue, my view is that these entries should have been kept in the article while merely hidden from normal view.
I shall be re-instating these entries into said article (while keeping all relevant entries hidden until they can be properly sourced.

September 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Out of 41 people who signed up this drive, 28 copy-edited at least one article. Thanks to all who participated! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing July, August, September and October 2011 from the backlog. This means that, for the first time since the drives began, the backlog is less than a year. At least 677 tagged articles were copy edited, although 365 new ones were added during the month. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2341 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 54 requests outstanding before September 2012 as well as eight of those made in September. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the August 2012 competition, and prizes will be issued soon. The September 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The October 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. – Your drive coordinators: Stfg, Allens, and Torchiest.

If the photographer was 30 years old in 1890 and died at the age of 90 (which would be in 1950), it is just 62 years after "life of author." The term is ambiguous, but per the template definition refers to the death-year. For unknown photographers, seems unlikely any photo will benefit from the tag, since we are talking of a potential 170 or 180 years in the past here. Yeah, the whole thing is a pain.

Samofi's latest message at his own talk page was so devoid of common sense that it left me astonished. Frankly, this is precisely the sort of behaviour which makes the English Wikipedia an unpleasant place to work. First of all, he isn't only banned from editing Wikipedia for an indefinite duration, but there is even a topic ban he is placed under, which prohibits him making any contributions in Wikipedia that pertains to Hungarian and/or Slovakian ethnic and national disputes, likewise for an indefinite duration [8].
In case, he were to receive an unblock given him for an indefinite duration, and in addition; he were to manage to even convince the Arbitration Comitee about the fact that his topic ban that covers his only one interesting field in Wikipedia should be lifted, he would still be unable to make useful contributions in Wikipedia because of his poor command of English. As a native speaker of English, you can also recognize that none of his sentences is written in grammatically correct English.
I admire anyone who is prepared to edit articles in the areas of the Balkans or Middle East or Hungarian ethnic disputes; you will run into these kinds of people over and over again, which makes it difficult to get any work accomplished, and turns what should be a fun hobby into a bad experience. I'm sorry to hear that you did not get a reply to your email to the Arbitration Committee. It's true that a moderator reviews them all and only some are forwarded along, but even so, they receive hundreds of emails every single day, and it's possible yours did not get the attention it deserved. Unfortunately there's no way to address Samofi's comments about your editing or get him to apologise; there's no way to force an apology out of anyone or get them to admit they were wrong, even if they're not blocked. But I can assure you that people who want to find out about you will not pay any attention to what people like him say, but will form their own opinions based on your actions. — Dianna ( talk) 14:34, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
I thought that id included a ref. What actually happened was that after he had snapped the amp of poison in his mouth, the doctor told the soldier that was present to get a ladder, a bucket and some warm water. The doctor then took some of the paint from the ceiling in the room they were in, knowing that most paint in those days contained soft distemper, he administered it Himmler by putting a hose down his throat and with a funnel attached to the other end, he poured the mixture of distemper and water into him to try and neautralise the poison. Obviously, it didnt work! Il find the source and put it back in when I get chance. Markdarrly ( talk) 13:55, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, you previously deleted the image page of File:Full Body Burden book jacket image.jpg because it was not present on any article pages. The article page on which it was present was rejected and I was advised to post that information onto another existing page, Kristen Iversen, which I did. But the book info bar for which the image was originally intended is now image-less. Can you please reinstate the image page so the book info bar is more complete on the page Kristen Iversen? Thank you. Brotherbees ( talk) 20:30, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the help on the Pinto article. There may be some overzealous editing there on the crime issues (putting both incidents in the lead and in special sections). Sorry for the edit conflict. Cheers!-- — Keithbob • Talk • 18:01, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Erich von Manstein, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Namur ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Sir, first of all "Hi" and "Good evening" sir. I have placed the "Orphaned non-free revisions" template in one of the two image files since 20 days ago, i have uploaded to English Wikipedia's Telugu Film Article. But no response from any admin. But after requesting, One admin named "WOSLinker" had deleted one of the images "Orphaned non-free revision" with striking it. I want the total deletion with disappearence of the "previous revisions" for both the images sir. So, i am kindly requesting you to delete the "Orphaned non-free revisions" in the below images sir. Thanking you in advance sir.

I didn't notice this until now. Why did you only delete one revision of this file although both were nominated (although for different reasons)? The current version is a copyright violation according to Commons:COM:ART#Photograph of an old sculpture found on the Internet, or in a book, unless you can show that it is an ancient photo. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 18:43, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I've just popped in to see if DennisBrown has been able to bang heads together and I saw your note re: the ArbCom issue. You'll find similar stuff for me and RegentsPark, while SpacemanSpiff has indicated on my talk page that they too are most likely going. There is at least one other who has withdrawn but I forget who it is right now. And DennisBrown has suggested on User talk:Boing! said Zebedee that he knows of more likely withdrawals. I am tempted actually to create Category:Wikipedians who are not a Wikipedian but it will, of course, be seen as disruptive. I am hating this, and Indian articles are already getting quite hit hard (probably because the word will have got out on Orkut) but there is a principle at stake and whether it relates to Malleus Fatuorum or someone else is not particularly relevant.
Obviously, I do not expect you to comment. This is just FYI. - Sitush ( talk) 20:18, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
In September 2012, there were 3,193 editors who made 100 or more edits to English Wikipedia. According to Stephen Zhang, 24% of former editors surveyed apparently left due to the unpleasant atmosphere on the site. So what is it about this list of 13 that is inherently more important than the figure you get if you marry those two observations together, even when applying an unrealistically conservative reduction based on the amount of those leavers who probably define 'unpleasant' as 'not WP:CIV'.

Hi Diannaa. I recently edited the Death section of the Ben Wilson (basketball) article to reduce the text to just that supportable by the source. Overnight, an editor has undone my change (via a number of edits) to restore the text. The new source is 'ESPN 30 for 30 film "Benji"'. I obviously prefer my version since it is supported by a secondary source, however I thought I'd ask you if the new text is okay to remain in WP (since it might be a true reflection of the film's information)? I haven't seen the film, so I will have to withdraw from trying to keep the article in-line with policy (which will hand it back into what is obviously a collaboration of fans/friends). If you think the information is fine, since we probably should AGF that it is based on the film, then no problems. Thanks in advance for any guidance you can provide. Cheers.

Hello Diannaa! I don't think this is necessary but its been days after your last response to confirm if we read and understood File mover and File names in the requests for permissions for file mover rights. Can you visit and review our response? There are still two Wikipedians left. Thank you so much! Regards, Mediran talk| contribs 23:12, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Hi! When adding {{ db-f5}} to an image, also remember to add a date. Otherwise, the image will remain in the category Category:Orphaned non-free use Wikipedia files as of unknown date 2012 forever. The easiest way to tag a file is to use {{ subst:orfud}}. I see that you added the template to File:Windows 8 start screen.png without a date. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 00:38, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
Also, about F8, please check the following files again:
Some revisions of those files exist on Commons under the same name. Things may be a bit confusing with overwritten files. Since F8 only applies to the revisions which have been copied over to Commons, it sometimes means deleting only the current revision (but not the old one), or only the old revision (but not the current one). However, File:Chasamsofer.JPG has been overwritten on both projects, which may be an issue: it might be better to have it split up on Commons first. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 23:39, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello! madam. How are you? One small request from me. Please delete the below posted images non-free revisons. I think i am the only one, asking you this type of requests again and again. Because no response for weeks together for my recent addition of the orphaned templates from any admin. Thanks for the previous deletions and accepting my requests. Now also i am expecting your help. Please madam. Thank you for reading this with patience.
Have a nice day madam.

Hi Dianna. Would you be kind enough to take a quick look at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2012 October 4#Sailing classification where some redirects are proposed for deletion. I've identified three more in the same family, and have asked there whether I can add these or must start a new entry. Adding to the existing entry is preferable if permitted, since the same set of issues arise in all the cases and it would avoid rehearsing all the same arguments twice over (the proposal is contended). The initiator ( User:BDD) has signalled no objection, but I'd like to be sure it's allowed before doing it. Thanks. Simon -- Stfg ( talk) 17:46, 27 October 2012 (UTC)
