Hi Diannaa,
Thank you for granting a 2 week semi-protection for Vehicle registration plates of Malaysia. It is much appreciated, however inadequate it may be. :] The IP-user has not responded yet, but I will let you know if things get out of hand again in the near future.

It says that File:Coneycombodns.png is up for deletion because it doesn't have any licence. However, it also says that it was copied from Wikipedia. Does it have a licence on Wikipedia? -- Stefan2 ( talk) 22:36, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

FYI, I wanted to notify you of a change I made to MediaWiki:Deletedtext for image deletions since I know this will affect you ... I don't know if there's anyone other than you and me that are doing a whole heckuva lot of these. 65.92.180.137 ( talk · contribs) has taken to adding Wikiproject tags to images nominated for deletion, which, when you're trying to delete a large number of images gives you pointless extra mouseclicks. I have changed MediaWiki:Deletedtext so that if you are deleting an image, it does not initially hide the transcluded talk page text. That saves the mouse click of needing to either visit the talk page or show it before clicking delete. -- B ( talk) 13:25, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I've been going through
Category:Wikipedia files missing permission as of 24 March 2013 and I'm finding some of the tags you've made to not be in the spirit of
WP:F11. Some examples:
[5]: Uploader claims copyright, you link to an external website which uses the image in your tag. Should go to
WP:PUF.
[6]: Uploader claims copyright. I have no idea why you tagged this.
[7]: Uploader claims copyright, you link to an external website which uses the image in your tag. Should go to
WP:PUF.
[8]: Uploader claims copyright, notes it's a "Drawing made from measurements in my laboratory". States it was published in a book, so could probably be sent to
WP:PUF.
Anyway, you get the idea. I don't think you should be tagging things with "no permission" that should be sent to
WP:PUF for discussion. Thanks. --

Hi, Diannaa.
With respect to File:Bulgarian Telecommunications Company logo.jpg, an extended discussion here reached a consensus that having one of the previous logos was acceptable. Would you mind restoring it to the Vivacom article in the "Mobile and fixed phone services" section? I mean, the consensus was that the image didn't fail the non-free content criteria. Diego ( talk) 23:39, 6 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa! I was hoping you could help me with a little issue I came across. I was wikifying this article when I noticed its use of "military time", or whatever it's called. I think it's a bit confusing to the reader, especially when reading quickly. Is there a standard way of styling these times, or is it ok to leave them as they currently are? Please advise, and thank you for your help. Regards, FoCuSandLeArN ( talk) 01:40, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Monterey Bay Area Council CSP.png. 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 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Hazard-Bot ( talk) 04:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

Hey there. I randomly found Arctic Spas in the copy-edit backlog, and I just... um... did stuff to it. It ended up being more of a major rewrite/wikification/reference-hunt than a copy-edit, but I did copy-edit it, and I was wondering if you could take a look and see what you think about that (i.e. can I take the tag off'n it, please).

Firstly, I will like to thank you for finding a solution through Wikipedia's rules. I have to say however (and this might be silly) but we do now see that you have posted my picture, and therefore, I lose the "credit" for my contribution. As stated, this might be silly, however I did in part purchase the medals for the Wikipedia article and I was proud in the fact that I was the one who could help all users see all three versions of the medal. Is there a possibility that my name be restored on the file of the image please.
Thank you kindly. Ctjj.stevenson ( talk) 20:33, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
I see that you rotated this image. What do you think of the copyright status? It says that the image was taken in Chicago in the United States, but it has GPS EXIF coordinates indicating a location in India, so it would seem that someone took a photo in Chicago, transported a paper copy to India and then took a photo of the photo in India. That is, we have a photo of a photo. This doesn't have to mean anything: the photo is from 1995 so it was probably not taken using a digital camera and the uploader might own the original negative, using a camera instead of a scanner for digitalising the image, but it looks a bit weird with Indian GPS coordinates for a photo taken in the United States. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 20:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, thank you for looking at my user page User:Theurbanlink you removed my Hot 500 Yahoo! graphic which was directly from my user profile on Yahoo! I do not totally understand why it was removed or how to provide copyright information other than what was provided but I would like to. The rules references you provided just confused me a bit more. I used the graphic directly from my contributor's page on Yahoo!, I cleared the use of the screenshot with my superiors at Yahoo! and was advised by them that I SHOULD use the award graphic from my profile to add on my Wikipedia User Page. Could I please have some clearer guidance on how to use that piece...I am not all that experienced yet with Wikipedia but very much want to learn from experienced editors...thank you for your time Theurbanlink ( talk) 19:55, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, I just saw that you already had a brush with the above user, and judging from the content of his/her edits, I'm pretty sure that it's a sock of the recently banned EPM/Yamaha Spirit editor. Moreover, some similar IP edits map to Tyneside, the location of the infamous and indeffed GeordieWikiEditor. Perhaps there's a way to fast-track an SPI, seeing that this user is already wreaking havoc with several entries? Malljaja ( talk) 20:28, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Could you check this file? It was deleted as F4 in 2008. Two days ago, the original uploader created a file information page containing nothing but a licence tag. Does this address the issue which caused the F4 deletion? -- Stefan2 ( talk) 12:40, 13 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello. Now that you have protected the article, would you mind rolling back the Online counseling article to the last version by Darkness Shines or me (they are the same), though leaving the protection, of course. The IP violated 3RR (again) and reverted a fourth time within a few hour span. I don't want to run afoul of 3RR myself, so I can't just do it myself. Also, the IP seems to be taking "revenge" by reverting consensus edits I made at Online Therapy Institute, and since the IP has violated 3RR at least 3 separate times in the last few days, and was disruptive at the page protection NB, would you consider blocking, too? Thanks and happy editing! Novaseminary ( talk) 20:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, you blocked this editor for two weeks a little while back. Looks like nothing has been learned, as the IP has received two warnings today already and has just once again deliberately inserted factual errors at the above article. Hwy43 ( talk) 22:43, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa. This IP above, as you know, has repeatedly being warned on its inappropriate behavior and as result was blocked by you several times for personal attacks, ahead of time.

Hi Dianna, I added the back scan of the entire photo in the area with the cropped photos because that is the only place I could find to add it. You can see it fits the dimensions of the original file not the cropped files. Hopefully this will close the discussion and the photo will be approved as public domain now since no copyright is placed. Further, credit to Talbot Photography (the film processor) was already given and no copyright or photographer is listed on the back or front of the photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.13.136 ( talk) 06:44, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much for cleaning this up and adding as keep:) In reference to your other message about adding a higher resolution of the front, I kept it at a lower resolution so that the lines that the theatre company put on the front for their hand crop job for the picture board would be less visible. Otherwise there are penciled lines that are quite visible and look bad; you can still see them if you look closely at the curent scan of the picture in addition to the scratches which are visible. I think the resolution is still quite good and the picture looks good. Do you think it looks bad? I made the resolution of the back very high so all markings could be read clearly and no additional questions would be raised.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hans100 ( talk • contribs)
Can I get you to take a look at WP:AN#NFCR ? Thanks, Werieth ( talk) 13:54, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
It's all somewhat of a side issue. Perhaps.
But I can't tell from the user page of Niemti that he is the same as any of these confirmed puppets of his (including the IPs).
Furthermore, when I click on HanzoHattori, I learn that he is a blocked and banned user -- with soft a redirect to Niemti ... I don't understand how, if they are the same (is that what the redirect means), one is blocked and banned while the other is editing. Obviously I'm missing something.
If he is currently an indef blocked or banned user, even if that dates back to 2008 that would be relevant today.
Nor does either page lead one to see Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of HanzoHattori.
And in addition, at least one of his suspected sock IPs is also a suspected sockpuppet of Elspeth Monro, AtlanticDeep, and Magic elephant -- which in aggregate connect to 15 more puppets. I've only checked one -- I'm not sure how widespread this goes.
And none of that is readily apparent on his (and perhaps other relevant) user pages.
So, I'm confused. If he is blocked, how is he editing? And should all of this be transparent on his user page? Thanks.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 15:26, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you tagged this for deletion under f7 as replaceable "The building is extant and there's no reason a free image could not be created", from what I can find online it isn't due to complete until 2015 and what there is so far it doesn't show the final outline yet. Once complete I agree it becomes a replaceable image but until such time as a free image would show pretty much the completed structure I'm inclined to think that the FUR as it is, is valid.

Sorry about that, guess I got distracted or something before I finished. I've restored it now. (Just so you know, the technical issue in question was that for some reason, if a longstanding article gets converted into a redirect Wikipedia's uncategorized article tools start picking it up as an uncategorized page even though they're obviously not supposed to, and so far deleting and restoring has been the only thing that actually works to clear the page off that list. It's a system bug, but it's one that hasn't gotten fixed yet despite the fact that I've filed a couple of requests now.) Bearcat ( talk) 01:09, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up.
I am going to check the discussion now.
I did not think the nominator -- the only person to comment, bothered to read my counter-arguments.
Oh, I see that even though only a short time has passed since what I thought was a courtesy heads-up the image has already been deelted. I was going to ask you to hold off on deletion until we discused this, because if that discussion did not convince me the image genuinely did not comply with policy I would proaably request deletion review.
One reason why a text description is insufficient -- many legal and human rights scholars asserted the USA removed multiple toes without anaesthetics. The image shows only a single toe was deleted. We are not allowed to contradict WP:Reliable sources. We are not allowed state "even though many experts assert the USA removed multiple toes without anaesthetics," only a single toe was removed.

DIANNAA, Today i am really impressed by your works, designs and contributions. Firstly while i am in Mr. Stradivarius user page, i came to know that the person is an administrator, when i was going through his admin nomination page, i found that u have asked a question regarding the nomination, then i visited ur user page, i was impressed when i saw that your name (DIANNAA) is written in blue floating font in the top of ur user page. I viewed the total user page and got partially impressed, when i visited ur talk page, i became totally impressed by the blue color box with borders carrying all the messages. I suddenly wished to send u a message.

Diannaa, I believe that Born2Cycle is " under a limited discussion ban at the discretion of an uninvolved admin when his behavior becomes counter productive to the discussion." I went to warn him on his talk page for his tendentiousness. Then when I looked at the page history, I saw that he was already warned by several others. He usually relies on Misabot ro archive his talk page, so his accelerated manual archiving of the existing thread seems to imply to me he is done listening. He is really pushing the boat out on this, and I think it's probably time to stop him if he doesn't do so of his own accord. Thanks, -- Ohconfucius ping / poke 13:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

I am puzzled about why (on 1 May 2013) you deleted the older revision of File:Suzi Quatro In the Spotlight album cover.jpg. The details are:
At about the same time you deleted an orphaned non-free revisions template with this edit: Diff of File:Suzi Quatro In the Spotlight album cover.jpg
It said:
The reason for my puzzlement is that the current revision of the file had, and still has, a disputed non-free use rationale and so does not appear to satisfy the non-free content criteria.

As I stated on ANI, I don't have a problem with that, even though I took a less aggressive view, but something should probably go in the article about the election and the party, although I suppose we could wait until the election is over and just put in the results. Any thoughts? Regards.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 15:35, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi! I took a look at your recent edits, and thought to point out that the full name and rank is needed at the 1st instance a specific person is mentioned. In all other instances only Surnames are used (per WP:SURNAME). That means no rank either in the repeated instances. I'm sorry if I was not clear right away.

Hello, Dianna! Since you're knowledgable about range blocks, I was wondering if you could help me out. Since at least 2010 the " Voice Cast Vandal" has been spreading blatant hoax edits. They have recently been sticking to one range: [9]. According to that only 256 IP addresses would be affected by a range block (no constructive edits from the range since last October, and every edit since then has been from this one vandal). Is this a good candidate for a range block? Are there educational institution tags I should be adding since they are school IPs? I appreciate any guidance you can give me here, as always. Cheers :) Doc talk 23:25, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, you asked me to notify you if the IP that had been stalking me came back. He did, 12.46.106.80 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) which is the second personal attack from that IP range, with others from 12.46.106.81 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS) and 12.46.106.79 ( talk · contribs · WHOIS). Evidently he works for Citizens Bank, as that IP address range is owned by them. It also appears that he has registered an account to avoid the block. Today Akimbo642 ( talk · contribs) changed my user page [10] with yet another personal attack.
Could you also remove the attacks from the history of Talk:BK Chicken Fries so he cannot revert them again to bring back his trolling?

Hi Diannaa, I (
Kevjonesin) have recently started editing images for Wiki(p/m)edia and am currently looking at...
(as you uploaded)
...which is flagged for watermark removal. Your upload comments indicate that you "Reduced size to comply with non-free content requirements". Do you still have a copy of the original larger resolution image? It would be much easier for me to edit full res and then 'reduce to comply' again after.
hmm... I was initially thinking of using a remove and refill technique. As I look at it, I'm getting a hunch that simple cropping may suffice. I'll give it a go, upload the result, and if you find it satisfactory please go ahead and remove the {{ Imagewatermark}} template from the file page. Otherwise, let me know where I may access a higher res image to work with. Thanks, -- Kevjonesin ( talk) 19:30, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi again, Diannaa...Would you walk me (and/or Torchiest and BDD) through updating your nifty progress graphs for the drives? The March graph is on Commons, but I don't know how to update it for the current drive. I know you're busy with other stuff, and if you would teach us how to fish that would be great :-).

(ec) May I suggest that the graphics be uploaded as vector-art instead of raster images? Excel or its cousin may not export SVG directly–I’m pretty sure the Calc module of Open Office can’t–but PDF can be used as an intermediate to open in a drawing program that does. Otherwise the next best format for subjects of this nature is an indexed-colour PNG; JPEG should be a last resort. @Dianna, if it turns out that Excel can’t open the Works native file, the latter may be able to export its data as an XLS, text or CSV file that will be compatible.— Odysseus1479 ( talk) 00:44, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know how you believe this edit has anything to do with those discussions. Nowhere in that tremendous tome of text from 2 months ago do I see a mention of the minuscule grammatical/style change of adding the word "during". Incidentally you left the part where I fixed the link. The way it's worded now is clunky, "Hitler was at the centre of Nazi Germany, World War II in Europe, and the Holocaust." I suppose he could be at the center of WW2, but he was at the center "during" it is also accurate.
I'm guessing there's some concern with a detailed parsing of the wording, that saying "during" somehow lessens Hitler's role. I certainly wasn't thinking along those lines, and 99.99% of the people who read it wouldn't either. I was just trying to make the sentence flow, which it doesn't right now. I don't feel that strongly about the edit. But you're edit summary enormously overstates the case. It's not a great lead as it is right now, from a stylistic point of view.

My concern is that I may be doing something simple in a roundabout way; when you have time, please take a look at my sandbox code and let me know how you set up side-by-side graphs for [[File:GOCE March 2013 drive progress graphs.JPG]].

I have read the book on the expulsions Orderly and Humane, by R.M. Douglas who uses American, British, Polish and Czech sources, as well the Red Cross documents, he does not rely on German sources. I highly recommend the book. The article Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–1950) really needs to be cleaned up. Orderly and Humane would be a valuable resource. You are a serious editor who is doing a lot of good work on Wikipedia. I could not do this job by myself but with your help I believe we could improve the article using Orderly and Humane I see you are a librarian so you should have no difficulty getting the book.

Hi Dianna, per two statements in the wiki entry for Waffen SS you will see(I've listed them below) that the Waffen SS wasn't a legal military unit (never incorporated in the German army and legally declared a criminal organization] and were simply an armed wing of the Nazi Party. If one looks at most definitions of Paramilitary, the Waffen SS would be prime example.
Per Wiki article on the Waffen SS: Adolf Hitler resisted integrating the Waffen-SS into the army, as it was to remain the armed wing of the Party and to become an elite police force once the war was won.[5]
At the post-war Nuremberg Trials the Waffen-SS was condemned as a criminal organization due to its essential connection to the Nazi Party and involvement in numerous war crimes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.122.43 ( talk) 03:24, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I've reverted the most recent changes to the article [22], because I don't think they're an improvement--at least one of the persistent motivations here has been piling on kudos to Hughes' last wife, and I find it in large part a COI problem. It's a continuation of concerns for which the user was previously blocked: addition of unsourced or original research, and a removal of sourced content, with an edit summary describing it as 'clean up.'

Category:Wikipedia files missing permission as of 24 March 2013 and I'm finding some of the tags you've made to not be in the spirit of
WP:F11. Some examples:
[5]: Uploader claims copyright, you link to an external website which uses the image in your tag. Should go to
WP:PUF.
[6]: Uploader claims copyright. I have no idea why you tagged this.
[7]: Uploader claims copyright, you link to an external website which uses the image in your tag. Should go to
WP:PUF.
[8]: Uploader claims copyright, notes it's a "Drawing made from measurements in my laboratory". States it was published in a book, so could probably be sent to
WP:PUF.
Anyway, you get the idea. I don't think you should be tagging things with "no permission" that should be sent to

I see that you rotated this image. What do you think of the copyright status? It says that the image was taken in Chicago in the United States, but it has GPS EXIF coordinates indicating a location in India, so it would seem that someone took a photo in Chicago, transported a paper copy to India and then took a photo of the photo in India. That is, we have a photo of a photo. This doesn't have to mean anything: the photo is from 1995 so it was probably not taken using a digital camera and the uploader might own the original negative, using a camera instead of a scanner for digitalising the image, but it looks a bit weird with Indian GPS coordinates for a photo taken in the United States. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 20:40, 11 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello Diannaa, thank you for looking at my user page User:Theurbanlink you removed my Hot 500 Yahoo! graphic which was directly from my user profile on Yahoo! I do not totally understand why it was removed or how to provide copyright information other than what was provided but I would like to. The rules references you provided just confused me a bit more. I used the graphic directly from my contributor's page on Yahoo!, I cleared the use of the screenshot with my superiors at Yahoo! and was advised by them that I SHOULD use the award graphic from my profile to add on my Wikipedia User Page. Could I please have some clearer guidance on how to use that piece...I am not all that experienced yet with Wikipedia but very much want to learn from experienced editors...thank you for your time Theurbanlink ( talk) 19:55, 12 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello Diannaa, I just saw that you already had a brush with the above user, and judging from the content of his/her edits, I'm pretty sure that it's a sock of the recently banned EPM/Yamaha Spirit editor. Moreover, some similar IP edits map to Tyneside, the location of the infamous and indeffed GeordieWikiEditor. Perhaps there's a way to fast-track an SPI, seeing that this user is already wreaking havoc with several entries? Malljaja ( talk) 20:28, 12 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Now that you have protected the article, would you mind rolling back the Online counseling article to the last version by Darkness Shines or me (they are the same), though leaving the protection, of course. The IP violated 3RR (again) and reverted a fourth time within a few hour span. I don't want to run afoul of 3RR myself, so I can't just do it myself. Also, the IP seems to be taking "revenge" by reverting consensus edits I made at Online Therapy Institute, and since the IP has violated 3RR at least 3 separate times in the last few days, and was disruptive at the page protection NB, would you consider blocking, too? Thanks and happy editing! Novaseminary ( talk) 20:46, 13 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dianna, I added the back scan of the entire photo in the area with the cropped photos because that is the only place I could find to add it. You can see it fits the dimensions of the original file not the cropped files. Hopefully this will close the discussion and the photo will be approved as public domain now since no copyright is placed. Further, credit to Talbot Photography (the film processor) was already given and no copyright or photographer is listed on the back or front of the photo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.174.13.136 ( talk) 06:44, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
Thank you so much for cleaning this up and adding as keep:) In reference to your other message about adding a higher resolution of the front, I kept it at a lower resolution so that the lines that the theatre company put on the front for their hand crop job for the picture board would be less visible. Otherwise there are penciled lines that are quite visible and look bad; you can still see them if you look closely at the curent scan of the picture in addition to the scratches which are visible. I think the resolution is still quite good and the picture looks good. Do you think it looks bad? I made the resolution of the back very high so all markings could be read clearly and no additional questions would be raised.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Hans100 ( talk • contribs)

It's all somewhat of a side issue. Perhaps.
But I can't tell from the user page of Niemti that he is the same as any of these confirmed puppets of his (including the IPs).
Furthermore, when I click on HanzoHattori, I learn that he is a blocked and banned user -- with soft a redirect to Niemti ... I don't understand how, if they are the same (is that what the redirect means), one is blocked and banned while the other is editing. Obviously I'm missing something.
If he is currently an indef blocked or banned user, even if that dates back to 2008 that would be relevant today.
Nor does either page lead one to see Category:Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of HanzoHattori.
And in addition, at least one of his suspected sock IPs is also a suspected sockpuppet of Elspeth Monro, AtlanticDeep, and Magic elephant -- which in aggregate connect to 15 more puppets. I've only checked one -- I'm not sure how widespread this goes.
And none of that is readily apparent on his (and perhaps other relevant) user pages.
So, I'm confused. If he is blocked, how is he editing? And should all of this be transparent on his user page? Thanks.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 15:26, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you tagged this for deletion under f7 as replaceable "The building is extant and there's no reason a free image could not be created", from what I can find online it isn't due to complete until 2015 and what there is so far it doesn't show the final outline yet.

Sorry about that, guess I got distracted or something before I finished. I've restored it now. (Just so you know, the technical issue in question was that for some reason, if a longstanding article gets converted into a redirect Wikipedia's uncategorized article tools start picking it up as an uncategorized page even though they're obviously not supposed to, and so far deleting and restoring has been the only thing that actually works to clear the page off that list. It's a system bug, but it's one that hasn't gotten fixed yet despite the fact that I've filed a couple of requests now.) Bearcat ( talk) 01:09, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up.
I am going to check the discussion now.
I did not think the nominator -- the only person to comment, bothered to read my counter-arguments.
Oh, I see that even though only a short time has passed since what I thought was a courtesy heads-up the image has already been deelted. I was going to ask you to hold off on deletion until we discused this, because if that discussion did not convince me the image genuinely did not comply with policy I would proaably request deletion review.
One reason why a text description is insufficient -- many legal and human rights scholars asserted the USA removed multiple toes without anaesthetics. The image shows only a single toe was deleted. We are not allowed to contradict WP:Reliable sources. We are not allowed state "even though many experts assert the USA removed multiple toes without anaesthetics," only a single toe was removed.

Firstly while i am in Mr. Stradivarius user page, i came to know that the person is an administrator, when i was going through his admin nomination page, i found that u have asked a question regarding the nomination, then i visited ur user page, i was impressed when i saw that your name (DIANNAA) is written in blue floating font in the top of ur user page. I viewed the total user page and got partially impressed, when i visited ur talk page, i became totally impressed by the blue color box with borders carrying all the messages. I suddenly wished to send u a message.

Diannaa, I believe that Born2Cycle is " under a limited discussion ban at the discretion of an uninvolved admin when his behavior becomes counter productive to the discussion." I went to warn him on his talk page for his tendentiousness. Then when I looked at the page history, I saw that he was already warned by several others. He usually relies on Misabot ro archive his talk page, so his accelerated manual archiving of the existing thread seems to imply to me he is done listening. He is really pushing the boat out on this, and I think it's probably time to stop him if he doesn't do so of his own accord. Thanks, -- Ohconfucius ping / poke 13:37, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Dianna! Since you're knowledgable about range blocks, I was wondering if you could help me out. Since at least 2010 the " Voice Cast Vandal" has been spreading blatant hoax edits. They have recently been sticking to one range: [9]. According to that only 256 IP addresses would be affected by a range block (no constructive edits from the range since last October, and every edit since then has been from this one vandal). Is this a good candidate for a range block? Are there educational institution tags I should be adding since they are school IPs? I appreciate any guidance you can give me here, as always.

Hi Diannaa, I (

...which is flagged for watermark removal. Your upload comments indicate that you "Reduced size to comply with non-free content requirements". Do you still have a copy of the original larger resolution image? It would be much easier for me to edit full res and then 'reduce to comply' again after.
hmm... I was initially thinking of using a remove and refill technique. As I look at it, I'm getting a hunch that simple cropping may suffice. I'll give it a go, upload the result, and if you find it satisfactory please go ahead and remove the {{ Imagewatermark}} template from the file page.

(ec) May I suggest that the graphics be uploaded as vector-art instead of raster images? Excel or its cousin may not export SVG directly–I’m pretty sure the Calc module of Open Office can’t–but PDF can be used as an intermediate to open in a drawing program that does. Otherwise the next best format for subjects of this nature is an indexed-colour PNG; JPEG should be a last resort. @Dianna, if it turns out that Excel can’t open the Works native file, the latter may be able to export its data as an XLS, text or CSV file that will be compatible.— Odysseus1479 ( talk) 00:44, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

I don't know how you believe this edit has anything to do with those discussions. Nowhere in that tremendous tome of text from 2 months ago do I see a mention of the minuscule grammatical/style change of adding the word "during". Incidentally you left the part where I fixed the link. The way it's worded now is clunky, "Hitler was at the centre of Nazi Germany, World War II in Europe, and the Holocaust." I suppose he could be at the center of WW2, but he was at the center "during" it is also accurate.
I'm guessing there's some concern with a detailed parsing of the wording, that saying "during" somehow lessens Hitler's role. I certainly wasn't thinking along those lines, and 99.99% of the people who read it wouldn't either. I was just trying to make the sentence flow, which it doesn't right now. I don't feel that strongly about the edit. But you're edit summary enormously overstates the case. It's not a great lead as it is right now, from a stylistic point of view.

Thanks for uploading File:Karen Demirchyan 1.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 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

you said that you were going to revert "all edits" i do on the nazi germany article without looking what they were about, can you please create a slightly diffrent version with good grammar? the church part is not really accurate because some churches were banned and the rest were reconstructed to follow nazi ideology and besides dont forget that it was me who inserted the word Gleichschaltung into the article in the first place Peterzor ( talk) 08:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
I have read the book on the expulsions Orderly and Humane, by R.M. Douglas who uses American, British, Polish and Czech sources, as well the Red Cross documents, he does not rely on German sources. I highly recommend the book. The article Flight and expulsion of Germans (1944–1950) really needs to be cleaned up. Orderly and Humane would be a valuable resource. You are a serious editor who is doing a lot of good work on Wikipedia. I could not do this job by myself but with your help I believe we could improve the article using Orderly and Humane I see you are a librarian so you should have no difficulty getting the book.

Your project sound interesting, but I am gonna do Wannsee Conference and Oskar Schindler first, for sure. And I will do Adolf Eichmann if I win some prize money in the Core Contest, as books will have to be bought. The main biography (Cesarani) is not available in the whole effing province. What I am looking for is articles that I perceive to be important, which are receiving a lot of page views, for which good sources can be found. At least three books are needed to bring an article up to GA standards. I have one on Schindler coming in on ILL, so I will be picking away at Wannsee until it arrives. -- Dianna ( talk) 01:00, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Well to be honest, in general I find Wikipedia to be a waste of time. After 7 years I am considering throwing in the towel. -- Woogie10w ( talk) 01:28, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Congrats,
I have tagged you in "Those users helped me the most" section in my User page while padding it. Your name is tagged as "Diannaa", please check my user page. Himanis Das talk 12:03, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
Point 9 here is based on your edit here. Would you like to be credited somehow? Bishonen | talk 13:54, 22 May 2013 (UTC).
please read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Nazi_Germany#Republic that was not "current consensus" please read the editors opinion in that section. JWULTRABLIZZARD is the olny user who wants "republic" to be removed while Rjensen seems to agree on a remark without supporting neither and all other users talk about "I think either wording would be fine" (Diannaa), "I also believe that either way is sufficient" (Kierzek) and Moxy who disagrees with nazi germany to be described as a republic so most most users here are against calling Nazi Germany a republic, also i posted the this text on the nazi germany talkpage Peterzor ( talk) 16:04, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi again Dianna, thanks for the c/e on the Albanian SS division article! Regards, Peacemaker67 ( send... over) 23:05, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
Well, really everyone's headache. As I figured, he's gone back to Verizon Wireless IPs; and I'll just bet I know where he is for this Memorial Day weekend. edit is 100% pure, classic Voice Cast Vandal. Same targets as well, then he rushes to "cross-reference". I shut him down instantly, but will go to you or AIV (if you're not around) should he make one more edit from that IP. He likely has abandoned it after seeing me. Ugh. Doc talk 02:48, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa, could you restore the image, because I see there is an anonymous IP who change the file name to some silly edit before. Thank you. — иz нίpнόp ʜᴇʟᴘ! 07:44, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Dianna, per two statements in the wiki entry for Waffen SS you will see(I've listed them below) that the Waffen SS wasn't a legal military unit (never incorporated in the German army and legally declared a criminal organization] and were simply an armed wing of the Nazi Party. If one looks at most definitions of Paramilitary, the Waffen SS would be prime example.
Per Wiki article on the Waffen SS: Adolf Hitler resisted integrating the Waffen-SS into the army, as it was to remain the armed wing of the Party and to become an elite police force once the war was won.[5]
At the post-war Nuremberg Trials the Waffen-SS was condemned as a criminal organization due to its essential connection to the Nazi Party and involvement in numerous war crimes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.122.43 ( talk) 03:24, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa, I've reverted the most recent changes to the article [22], because I don't think they're an improvement--at least one of the persistent motivations here has been piling on kudos to Hughes' last wife, and I find it in large part a COI problem. It's a continuation of concerns for which the user was previously blocked: addition of unsourced or original research, and a removal of sourced content, with an edit summary describing it as 'clean up.' Since you've engaged in the article and its talk page, your thoughts would be appreciated, especially if you think I'm amiss in part or whole. Thanks, JNW ( talk) 13:13, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
