First of all, I want to thank you for the support you've given me, as well as the assistance you've offered in the past. In my recent successful RfA, I promised to be opened to recall with specific terms similar to User:TParis/Recall. Before I make any edits that require the mop, I wanted to cement my own recall process, including a list of editors who can specifically call for the recall of my administrative rights. Due to my high level of respect for you and your opinion, I wanted to know if I could include you on said list. Thanks, -- TLSuda ( talk) 20:58, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Diannaa, It seems like at least some of the issue here may lie with a misunderstanding of map-making and the sources of data that are freely available to cartographers. There are several outlets for aerial imagery now available free of use for almost any map-making purpose. One of the most widely-used is from the ESRI basemap service. That is what I used; the aerial imagery is freely available for any non-for-profit purpose. When loading this layer, the specific license information states "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 United States License." Two main sources of aerial imagery in the United States are NASA and the USGS, and because they are are U.S. government entities, that data is considered public domain. On a related note, many of the layers (roads, elevation data, political boundaries) used to create the original map could have similar licenses and usage restrictions, which makes it seem odd that the level of scrutiny was not the same.
What suggestions would you have so that I can re-upload the image and not run into this issue? If the background imagery was no longer included but no other changes were made, would you no longer take issue? W Scott Lincoln 19:03, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
I guess I am not sure what you are referring to. I went to the contributions, found where I had made the original post in the list, and then just edited the section. After I posted my reply, it looked fine to me, just how I normally see replies on other talk pages. I guess elaborate if I am missing something. In regards to the elevation map, I think there is still a misunderstanding. It's not from a web page with a download-able image but instead from a basemap service which ties into the ESRI ArcGIS software. It is a matter of turning on a layer in the software and it retrieves the basemap imagery. I believe this is the terms of use summary available online for the World Imagery basemap service that ArcGIS uses: http://downloads2.esri.com/ArcGISOnline/docs/tou_summary.pdf I didn't find mention of the license I mentioned above, although like I said that is what the software tells me when I click on the metadata for that service. I also was not aware that "non-commercial share alike" was not an allowable license for wikipedia; I think I've even picked it a few times for other images I've uploaded. If the background imagery was no longer included but no other changes were made, would you no longer take issue? W Scott Lincoln 18:54, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Your image File:Jacobs Creek Flood Aug 2003 COMET.jpg on the Commons is not properly licensed for use on this site, as it specifies non-commercial and educational uses only, so I have nominated it for deletion. Your other uploads are okay.
I recently made an article regarding Johann Kielmansegg, however I created the arcticle under the name "Johann Kielmansegg" and not "Johann von Kielmansegg". Could you maybe add the "von" into the article? I would be very grateful, friend.
- Jonas Vinther
No, it should just be "Johann von Kielmansegg". Thank you so much friend.

You protected the page just after the editor causing all the problems took a one week holiday to avoid a ban. Not really necessary now that has happened ---- Snowded TALK 06:32, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello! I was stalking some talk pages and found User:Diannaa/Copyright. I like the WP:AGF wording and WP:CRY-like philosophy, and how detailed you were in your explaining what to do in those situations. Inspired, I made two templates, Template:Uw-copyright-org and Template:Uw-copyright-img. I modified the messages some and added a few options. So that now makes three templates I have created by shamelessly stealing your work. Again, I hope you don't mind, and obviously feel free to add to the templates as you see fit :) Cheers! — MusikAnimal talk 17:13, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

File:Sabro, Korsvejskolen, logo.jpg
I'm tired of you keep trying to get the "Sabro Korsvejskolen Logo" picture deleted. Stop doing that, I made that picture myself, so please stop!
- Jonas Vinther
The logo is a modified version of the logo available on the school's website. You should not say it is your own work unless you are the original creator of the artwork that is incorporated into the logo. If you are in fact the creator and copyright holder of the artwork and wish to release the image under a fair use license, please follow the instructions at WP:consent to get an OTRS ticket in place on the file. If you are not the creator of the artwork, or you do not wish to release the image under license, please reverse your edit, as this will result in the image being kept. Sorry, this misunderstanding is my fault. I thought you would understand what I was doing and why, and therefore I did not explain it to you. -- Diannaa ( talk) 19:51, 6 March 2014 (UTC)(UTC)
Ohh I see. Well, sorry about that then.

I would like to to restore the deleted File:Cavallaro.jpg. I was unaware that it had been tagged for a lack of documentation. — Eurodog ( talk) 21:28, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
[2], [3], etc. What are the implications? Is this a good thing... or a really good thing? I am intrigued by this, and am curious what the stance of the WMF will be. Any thoughts? Doc talk 06:18, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Hey, can you replace this sentence "These claims are criticized by Russian historians like Oleg Rzheshevsky, who stated that such descriptions of the Red Army are similar to the images instilled by Nazi propaganda" with "Yelena Senyavskaya and other Russian historians have criticized such statements and argue that while such crimes occurred, they were not widespread"?
Or add the second one as one of two options?
Looking at it again, I think the second sentence is better.
Also, can you link this section
[4], so that it is clear that there is enough support for the Russian view in sources and it is not just based on one historian. -
YMB29 (
talk) 22:09, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Also, I think it should be mentioned that the issue is NPOV and WP:ASF in particular. - YMB29 ( talk) 22:13, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
Regarding the opinion you gave for the RfC
[6], if your intention really was to help resolve the dispute, it seems that you missed the points I was making about wiki policies.
A well sourced statement still has to be attributed, unless it is an undisputed fact (see
WP:ASF).
For the other part, it does not matter that you think that "Russian historians who try to minimize the scope of the problem are trying to cover it up". The issue is representing all significant views (
WP:NPOV), not what you or others think the truth is (see
WP:TRUTH). -

Hi Diannaa, I uploaded this file of fair use cover art to go in Richard Cobb. I thought this was appropriate because of WP:NFC#UUI ("if the cover itself is the subject of sourced discussion in the article, it may be appropriate if placed inline next to the commentary") but it's been flagged because the file rationale states that it will "serve as the primary means of visual identification at the top of the article dedicated to the work in question". Should I remove the image, or can it be fixed? Thanks in advance for your help. SteveStrummer ( talk) 19:41, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I got from Associazione4stormo the picture of Leonardo Ferrulli and - as I was not able to uploaded it - I asked Bzuk to upload it for me. The Association told me it can be quoted as a public domain picture, and so I uploaded it in the List of WW2 flying aces... is it ok? Could you help me to upload other pictures from the associazione4stormo, in the next future, as Bzuk seems to be too busy at the moment?

Hi Diannaa :-) I joined the March GOCE drive, my first ever, glad to be part of it! and thought i found a good and virtuous target - Sociological_theory_of_diffusion from Dec 2012. I made a little start but am feeling I bit off more than I can chew, as in in feels like a more significant research job is needed not just copy-editing. I could just abandon the effort, but I'd love to know if am I judging right or have I got the wrong sense? And actually, now I've found Diffusion_of_innovation and wonder if they need to be merged (way beyond my experience level!!) - Could you advise? Many thanks!

Good morning, Bonjour,
My name is Marc DANIEL, 52, I live in LOYAT, MORBIHAN, BRITTANY, FRANCE.
The Free French SAS are forgotten in operation Overlord. 900 Free French SAS in England, 3rd and 4th SAS battalions in the British SAS brigade. Operation Fortitude in the North of France, operation Overlord in Normandy and operations Dingson, Samwest, Cooney in Brittany. About The French SAS, you can see the film : bataillon du ciel (sky's battalion) 1947 from the Joseph Kessel's novel. Remember the film, the longest day : 2 Free French SAS with 1 woman by night on the railroad, from operation Cooney.
I put pages in operation Overlord from the Henry Corta's book, "les bérets rouges" (1952). I will see pages in his other book "Qui ose gagne" (who dares wins), 1997. Henry Corta was my father's friend during summer 1944 in Brittany. 90.84.144.198 ( talk) 07:43, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. I do not believe that there is are any copyright or presumptive paraphrasing issues, as you have posted. Eurodog ( talk) 04:30, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Diannaa
I reviewed your edit in File:Rosetta Stone.png and I am afraid I find it running afoul of both copyright and WP:NFCC. First, as a non-free image, you need to supply a source. True, I had earlier downsized the image and it didn't have a good source, but it was not an original upload. (One human can only fix so many problem as a time.) But yours was an original upload and the burden of the source lies with the contributor.
Second, WP:NFCC#3 requires images not to be uploaded any bigger than they are actually needed, so that high-resolution image (500 × 212) was overkill. 64 × 64 is enough.

While closely following your edits, I feel as tho' I am being schooled. Would you like me to edit some that appear on your list? I think that I'm a better editor today. And, after seeing your edits, I'm getting a better grasp on how to avoid issues. With respect to possible copyright concerns, possible presumptions, over-linking, and other excess concerns, urging me to do the edits might go a long way towards helping me intuitively steer clear of that sort of stuff going forward. And, I was wondering ... would be possible for me to fix things without the fanfare of comments on the talk page? They leave sort of permanent "Scarlett Letter" affect or a scar — on me and on the articles.
All contributors evolve. And, unlike painters and craftsmen — who also improve over time, but whose earlier works are unchangeable — we have the ability to revisit and improve earlier contributions. All of us, as peers, can help each other without being punitive, even if being punitive is unintentional. — Eurodog ( talk) 15:46, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
For websites, it's necessary to use the Wayback Machine to try to determine whether or not material from the source website was there before it was added to Wikipedia. If the web page was not archived prior to its being used as a source, we have no way of knowing if the editor copied from the website or the other way around. I have to make assumptions, based on the quality of the prose (its promotional tone, level of professionalism, and so on) to try to determine who copied from who. For the articles I've looked at so far, it's pretty impossible to determine whether there's any copyright violations or not, because either the sources are not available online, or no sources were provided at the time the material was added. Normally what happens next, is I remove or paraphrase the material under the assumption that it is indeed copyright material copied from elsewhere. But since there's no way to access the sources you used, that would mean performing re-writes of all your additions to all the articles still on the list. I haven't yet found enough sourced examples of your work that I can tell which is which so I am quickly running out of articles that I can confidently evaluate. Here's an example to illustrate: Gifted Rating Scales (diffs to be checked: (+1093), (+229), (+1218), (+429), (+553)). None of these additions provided a source, and none of the material appears to have been copied verbatim from the two sources provided in the article. So I quickly hit a brick wall - I have no idea where this material came from or whether or not it's a copyright violation.
I am going to ping @ Moonriddengirl: and @ Wizardman:; hopefully one of them can answer your two questions: (1) Can the step of leaving a message on the talk page be omitted? The user is finding it a badge of shame; (2) Can Eurodog help out with the clean-up, and if so, what should he do? Thanks. -- Diannaa ( talk) 19:24, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
I feel personally attacked by some editors accusations and the editors refusal to alter the Talk:European cuisine#To IIIraute section heading. I told Kutsuit that if he wants to address me personally, please to do so on my talk page - here & here. I have addressed the editor regarding his continuous edit warring at the article European cuisine here, before the editor started to address me personally on the article talk page - and I have even answered the editors agressive commentary. I think talk page headings should be addressed towards all editors. Your help is very much appreciated. -- IIIraute ( talk) 08:16, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
( talk page stalker). I haven't looked at the edit warring issue — I may do so later — but IIIraute is perfectly right that the header "To IIIraute" is inappropriate on an article talk page. As he says above, talkpage headers should in fact be addressed to all users, as pointed out in the talk page guidelines under the heading New topics and headings on talk pages: "Don't address other users in a heading: Headings invite all users to comment. Headings may be about specific edits but not specifically about the user." I've changed it. Bishonen | talk 10:33, 17 April 2014 (UTC).

Hello, Diannaa.
I have noticed a number of similarities between the edits of a blocked user called Andrewbf and a new editor called Pulum34. The latter editor has caused some disruption to a number of music genre pages, and has not answered communications. I am sorry to have troubled you, but obviously large numbers of us enjoy Wikipedia and take time to ensure its accuracy and it is disheartening when it is disrupted.

How exactly is the controversial incident section of the Davido article in violation of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons? WP:NPOV states that articles can be written from a neutral point of view. If one removes the content, they are favoring Davido and his camp. If Davido was in some sort of controversy, and that controversy was reported in the media, how can't it not be added to the article? How exactly is it poorly source. The references I used were Nigerian Entertainment Today, Punch, and Premium Times. Punch and Premium Times are Nigerian Newspapers, and Nigerian Entertainment Today is an entertainment Newspaper. Are you saying that quotations cannot be in an article at all? If that's the case, why do so many good articles have quotations in them? Versace1608 (Talk) 17:57, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa,
I don't know how closely you have been following the developments at Ronn Torossian. I just wanted to point out to you some posts by User:Judae1 at User_talk:Fred_Bauder#Ronn_Torossian. Judae1, as you may remember, is a senior executive at 5WPR, Torossian's PR firm, but has generally kept hands off that article after being reprimanded for conflict of interest. He has, since then, been a good citizen and has contributed to the pedia on a variety of topics. However, judging by the fractured syntax and sycophantic whining of the posts at Fred Bauder's talk page, the posts were not written by him but by our Janus-faced friend Babasalichai. I am referring not to the first post ("Fred, by merging the pages together"), but the second ("Can you suggest a route for appeal?"), which pretty clearly was written by a different author.
Perhaps you might want to warn Judae1 on the side that letting banned users access his account is a nono. Regards, -- Ravpapa ( talk) 06:05, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that when you were investigating all my edits on wikipedia, your comment on my edit on the article Covenant University was kindoff probable ... probably because you could not find any citation backing up my earlier claims in the controversy section I created. If you could take a look at my edit again here, you will notice that I actually added my citations to the External links section instead of the References section because at that time I did not really know the difference between the two. I guess another Wikipedian noticed my mistake and recreated the criticism section then transferred the links I added, to the References section. I just wanted to clear the air about that because I don't want to be viewed as a Wikipedian that adds libelous contents without citations to Wikipedia. Thanks.

Hey Dianna, could you take a look at one section of the Peer Review I have going on? User:Hamiltonstone started a PR and after much work, dropped off the radar. At the bottom of the review section I linked, you can see where I responded to him late on the 23rd. After a ping or two and a talk page message, I haven't gotten any responses. The other editors have finished with their PRs (it was a triple PR).

Hello Dianna
I am very new to figuring out how wikipedia works, its rules & regs. I do not know how to write you directly so I hope this is OK until I get set straight.
I thank you for protecting me last Dec 2013 from malicious libelous type words placed on my wikipage some one made up about me. Early on I did not know it was not kosher to place data about one self on one's own page. I since learned that is not good and went on to other aspects of rebuildign my life after being laid up four years seeking dual hip joint replacement surgery, then finally getting both replaced on same day in LA in 2009, then two more years healing from that.
Some one decided to place CGC "Controversy" on my page evidently some time ago. I just became aware a couple days ago. There is much more to this "story" than the few words so far placed there. This is malicious libelous as this firm CGC blocked me from defending myself on their talk boards after having posted just one defence. This was last November. The firm is a ponzi scheme fraud. The owner has threatened to sue me I am told by their outside counsel Mark Zaid, a Wash DC attorney.
I have many thousands of positive feedbacks in my eBay store BLBcomics from some 67 countries. I do not accept the concept one has to have all their merch 3rd party slabbed adding undue cost to a vintage comic book. They advertise do not trust a comic book being offered for sale unless it is slabbed in a plastic coffin by CGC.
Would some one inside Wikipedia please respond to me at (Redacted) ??
Or here, if I can find this page again.

Thank you very much, Dianna. Am only trying to do this wiki thing properly and have made unintentional mistakes along the way. I feel very honored in the first place there is a wiki page about a very little bit about my history inside the world of comics.
I have had a long road back recovering from being very damaged as a passenger in a van accident back in 1973. As a result I take Dilantin twice a day to combat lowered electricity levels in my brain. A lot of mistakes were made during my descent 2005-2012 which I have been working hard since turning the corner healing the last couple years at fixing best I can.
CGC and their ilk minions never cease the attacks as I point out the ponzi scheeme they truly are. Back in summer 2007 that firm damaged in their HQ in Florida a valuable All Star #8 (first Wonder Woman 1941) as well as All Star Comics #7 and refused to make good on it. I do not have the funds to hire a Florida attorney.
With Steve Geppi's personal blessings by his firm Gemstone's specific invitation Oct 1996 I have been co-teaching the origins of the comic strip book in America dating back to 1842 to the rest of the comics world inside the pages of Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide for 17 years in a row now since OPG #27 1997 along with numerous articles in magazine re same. Am in the credit/acknowledgements in over 200 books by others on comics as these authors seek clarification on what their own books are covering. Seven more again just this year 2014 alone. Exploring and dealing same is a way of life for me for over 40 years now.
I was out of it for over half a decade in mind numbing pain 2005-2012 which I am trying to fix errors I accidentally made. I deal with short term memory loss as a result which is why I have to take the Dilantin. if I do not within a couple days I revert back in to a fog which is beyond difficult trying to deal with. Again, thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlowinNTheWind ( talk • contribs) 16:04, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Diannaa, It seems like at least some of the issue here may lie with a misunderstanding of map-making and the sources of data that are freely available to cartographers. There are several outlets for aerial imagery now available free of use for almost any map-making purpose. One of the most widely-used is from the ESRI basemap service. That is what I used; the aerial imagery is freely available for any non-for-profit purpose. When loading this layer, the specific license information states "Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.0 United States License." Two main sources of aerial imagery in the United States are NASA and the USGS, and because they are are U.S. government entities, that data is considered public domain. On a related note, many of the layers (roads, elevation data, political boundaries) used to create the original map could have similar licenses and usage restrictions, which makes it seem odd that the level of scrutiny was not the same.
What suggestions would you have so that I can re-upload the image and not run into this issue? If the background imagery was no longer included but no other changes were made, would you no longer take issue? W Scott Lincoln 19:03, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
I guess I am not sure what you are referring to. I went to the contributions, found where I had made the original post in the list, and then just edited the section. After I posted my reply, it looked fine to me, just how I normally see replies on other talk pages. I guess elaborate if I am missing something. In regards to the elevation map, I think there is still a misunderstanding. It's not from a web page with a download-able image but instead from a basemap service which ties into the ESRI ArcGIS software. It is a matter of turning on a layer in the software and it retrieves the basemap imagery. I believe this is the terms of use summary available online for the World Imagery basemap service that ArcGIS uses: http://downloads2.esri.com/ArcGISOnline/docs/tou_summary.pdf I didn't find mention of the license I mentioned above, although like I said that is what the software tells me when I click on the metadata for that service. I also was not aware that "non-commercial share alike" was not an allowable license for wikipedia; I think I've even picked it a few times for other images I've uploaded. If the background imagery was no longer included but no other changes were made, would you no longer take issue? W Scott Lincoln 18:54, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
Your image File:Jacobs Creek Flood Aug 2003 COMET.jpg on the Commons is not properly licensed for use on this site, as it specifies non-commercial and educational uses only, so I have nominated it for deletion. Your other uploads are okay.

Hey, can you replace this sentence "These claims are criticized by Russian historians like Oleg Rzheshevsky, who stated that such descriptions of the Red Army are similar to the images instilled by Nazi propaganda" with "Yelena Senyavskaya and other Russian historians have criticized such statements and argue that while such crimes occurred, they were not widespread"?
Or add the second one as one of two options?
Looking at it again, I think the second sentence is better.
Also, can you link this section

[6], if your intention really was to help resolve the dispute, it seems that you missed the points I was making about wiki policies.
A well sourced statement still has to be attributed, unless it is an undisputed fact (see
WP:ASF).
For the other part, it does not matter that you think that "Russian historians who try to minimize the scope of the problem are trying to cover it up". The issue is representing all significant views (
WP:NPOV), not what you or others think the truth is (see

Hi Diannaa :-) I joined the March GOCE drive, my first ever, glad to be part of it! and thought i found a good and virtuous target - Sociological_theory_of_diffusion from Dec 2012. I made a little start but am feeling I bit off more than I can chew, as in in feels like a more significant research job is needed not just copy-editing. I could just abandon the effort, but I'd love to know if am I judging right or have I got the wrong sense? And actually, now I've found Diffusion_of_innovation and wonder if they need to be merged (way beyond my experience level!!) - Could you advise? Many thanks!

I am engaged in an edit war with another user on this page. I am hoping for an admin with some knowledge of cinema to protect the page and settle the debate (I emphatically believe I am in the right), or failing that, just someone to protect the page and end the edit war whilst I attempt to persuade the other user.

Good morning, Bonjour,
My name is Marc DANIEL, 52, I live in LOYAT, MORBIHAN, BRITTANY, FRANCE.
The Free French SAS are forgotten in operation Overlord. 900 Free French SAS in England, 3rd and 4th SAS battalions in the British SAS brigade. Operation Fortitude in the North of France, operation Overlord in Normandy and operations Dingson, Samwest, Cooney in Brittany. About The French SAS, you can see the film : bataillon du ciel (sky's battalion) 1947 from the Joseph Kessel's novel. Remember the film, the longest day : 2 Free French SAS with 1 woman by night on the railroad, from operation Cooney.
I put pages in operation Overlord from the Henry Corta's book, "les bérets rouges" (1952). I will see pages in his other book "Qui ose gagne" (who dares wins), 1997. Henry Corta was my father's friend during summer 1944 in Brittany. 90.84.144.198 ( talk) 07:43, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Diannaa. I do not believe that there is are any copyright or presumptive paraphrasing issues, as you have posted. Eurodog ( talk) 04:30, 15 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Diannaa
I reviewed your edit in File:Rosetta Stone.png and I am afraid I find it running afoul of both copyright and WP:NFCC. First, as a non-free image, you need to supply a source. True, I had earlier downsized the image and it didn't have a good source, but it was not an original upload. (One human can only fix so many problem as a time.) But yours was an original upload and the burden of the source lies with the contributor.
Second, WP:NFCC#3 requires images not to be uploaded any bigger than they are actually needed, so that high-resolution image (500 × 212) was overkill. 64 × 64 is enough.

While closely following your edits, I feel as tho' I am being schooled. Would you like me to edit some that appear on your list? I think that I'm a better editor today. And, after seeing your edits, I'm getting a better grasp on how to avoid issues. With respect to possible copyright concerns, possible presumptions, over-linking, and other excess concerns, urging me to do the edits might go a long way towards helping me intuitively steer clear of that sort of stuff going forward. And, I was wondering ... would be possible for me to fix things without the fanfare of comments on the talk page? They leave sort of permanent "Scarlett Letter" affect or a scar — on me and on the articles.
All contributors evolve. And, unlike painters and craftsmen — who also improve over time, but whose earlier works are unchangeable — we have the ability to revisit and improve earlier contributions. All of us, as peers, can help each other without being punitive, even if being punitive is unintentional. — Eurodog ( talk) 15:46, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
For websites, it's necessary to use the Wayback Machine to try to determine whether or not material from the source website was there before it was added to Wikipedia. If the web page was not archived prior to its being used as a source, we have no way of knowing if the editor copied from the website or the other way around. I have to make assumptions, based on the quality of the prose (its promotional tone, level of professionalism, and so on) to try to determine who copied from who. For the articles I've looked at so far, it's pretty impossible to determine whether there's any copyright violations or not, because either the sources are not available online, or no sources were provided at the time the material was added. Normally what happens next, is I remove or paraphrase the material under the assumption that it is indeed copyright material copied from elsewhere. But since there's no way to access the sources you used, that would mean performing re-writes of all your additions to all the articles still on the list. I haven't yet found enough sourced examples of your work that I can tell which is which so I am quickly running out of articles that I can confidently evaluate. Here's an example to illustrate: Gifted Rating Scales (diffs to be checked: (+1093), (+229), (+1218), (+429), (+553)). None of these additions provided a source, and none of the material appears to have been copied verbatim from the two sources provided in the article. So I quickly hit a brick wall - I have no idea where this material came from or whether or not it's a copyright violation.
I am going to ping @ Moonriddengirl: and @ Wizardman:; hopefully one of them can answer your two questions: (1) Can the step of leaving a message on the talk page be omitted? The user is finding it a badge of shame; (2) Can Eurodog help out with the clean-up, and if so, what should he do? Thanks. -- Diannaa ( talk) 19:24, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
I feel personally attacked by some editors accusations and the editors refusal to alter the Talk:European cuisine#To IIIraute section heading. I told Kutsuit that if he wants to address me personally, please to do so on my talk page - here & here. I have addressed the editor regarding his continuous edit warring at the article European cuisine here, before the editor started to address me personally on the article talk page - and I have even answered the editors agressive commentary. I think talk page headings should be addressed towards all editors. Your help is very much appreciated. -- IIIraute ( talk) 08:16, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
( talk page stalker). I haven't looked at the edit warring issue — I may do so later — but IIIraute is perfectly right that the header "To IIIraute" is inappropriate on an article talk page. As he says above, talkpage headers should in fact be addressed to all users, as pointed out in the talk page guidelines under the heading New topics and headings on talk pages: "Don't address other users in a heading: Headings invite all users to comment. Headings may be about specific edits but not specifically about the user." I've changed it. Bishonen | talk 10:33, 17 April 2014 (UTC).

How exactly is the controversial incident section of the Davido article in violation of Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons? WP:NPOV states that articles can be written from a neutral point of view. If one removes the content, they are favoring Davido and his camp. If Davido was in some sort of controversy, and that controversy was reported in the media, how can't it not be added to the article? How exactly is it poorly source. The references I used were Nigerian Entertainment Today, Punch, and Premium Times. Punch and Premium Times are Nigerian Newspapers, and Nigerian Entertainment Today is an entertainment Newspaper. Are you saying that quotations cannot be in an article at all? If that's the case, why do so many good articles have quotations in them? Versace1608 (Talk) 17:57, 21 April 2014 (UTC)

Judae1, as you may remember, is a senior executive at 5WPR, Torossian's PR firm, but has generally kept hands off that article after being reprimanded for conflict of interest. He has, since then, been a good citizen and has contributed to the pedia on a variety of topics. However, judging by the fractured syntax and sycophantic whining of the posts at Fred Bauder's talk page, the posts were not written by him but by our Janus-faced friend Babasalichai. I am referring not to the first post ("Fred, by merging the pages together"), but the second ("Can you suggest a route for appeal?"), which pretty clearly was written by a different author.
Perhaps you might want to warn Judae1 on the side that letting banned users access his account is a nono. Regards, -- Ravpapa ( talk) 06:05, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed that when you were investigating all my edits on wikipedia, your comment on my edit on the article Covenant University was kindoff probable ... probably because you could not find any citation backing up my earlier claims in the controversy section I created. If you could take a look at my edit again here, you will notice that I actually added my citations to the External links section instead of the References section because at that time I did not really know the difference between the two. I guess another Wikipedian noticed my mistake and recreated the criticism section then transferred the links I added, to the References section. I just wanted to clear the air about that because I don't want to be viewed as a Wikipedian that adds libelous contents without citations to Wikipedia. Thanks.

Hey Dianna, could you take a look at one section of the Peer Review I have going on? User:Hamiltonstone started a PR and after much work, dropped off the radar. At the bottom of the review section I linked, you can see where I responded to him late on the 23rd. After a ping or two and a talk page message, I haven't gotten any responses. The other editors have finished with their PRs (it was a triple PR).
I was wondering if you could give what Hamiltonstone was requesting and my response a look-see and see if I am finished. I am hoping to get this thing to FAC soon. Thanks in advance. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 15:44, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
Since two of the three PRs on the page are complete, could you close the full PR page for me, please? The PR instructions say I can myself, but it is discouraged. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 16:11, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kirk Sommer-which now it seems to be closed or something not sure how to get rid of this-I did put the deletion tag on after it that it was discussed-but yep didn't realize it do that on it. Well at least I now know what happenes when you put an AFD tag on a page that was once deleted! Wgolf ( talk) 03:31, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi again, Diannaa. Its been a long time since I became inactive. Anyway, can you please keep an eye to the user I linked on the title of this message. I've suspected that this is not the only sock puppet account of Boboy9. I've seen another account and IP addresses, which considers that they're contributing on one article which is DZUR (recently movedthe original to DZUR (defunct) article. I've try to reverting it, but it keeps saying that it has a spam content on it. Please help and thanks again. Hamham31 Heke! KushKush! 06:16, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
I doubt he has many computers and cell phones that edit warring all day. Most recently account Special:Contributions/Laratadelaciudad. Just want to know his location and ID. 183.171.177.37 ( talk) 08:28, 28 April 2014 (UTC)
Hello Dianna
I am very new to figuring out how wikipedia works, its rules & regs. I do not know how to write you directly so I hope this is OK until I get set straight.
I thank you for protecting me last Dec 2013 from malicious libelous type words placed on my wikipage some one made up about me. Early on I did not know it was not kosher to place data about one self on one's own page. I since learned that is not good and went on to other aspects of rebuildign my life after being laid up four years seeking dual hip joint replacement surgery, then finally getting both replaced on same day in LA in 2009, then two more years healing from that.
Some one decided to place CGC "Controversy" on my page evidently some time ago. I just became aware a couple days ago. There is much more to this "story" than the few words so far placed there. This is malicious libelous as this firm CGC blocked me from defending myself on their talk boards after having posted just one defence. This was last November. The firm is a ponzi scheme fraud. The owner has threatened to sue me I am told by their outside counsel Mark Zaid, a Wash DC attorney.
I have many thousands of positive feedbacks in my eBay store BLBcomics from some 67 countries. I do not accept the concept one has to have all their merch 3rd party slabbed adding undue cost to a vintage comic book. They advertise do not trust a comic book being offered for sale unless it is slabbed in a plastic coffin by CGC.
Would some one inside Wikipedia please respond to me at (Redacted) ??
Or here, if I can find this page again.

Thank you very much, Dianna. Am only trying to do this wiki thing properly and have made unintentional mistakes along the way. I feel very honored in the first place there is a wiki page about a very little bit about my history inside the world of comics.
I have had a long road back recovering from being very damaged as a passenger in a van accident back in 1973. As a result I take Dilantin twice a day to combat lowered electricity levels in my brain. A lot of mistakes were made during my descent 2005-2012 which I have been working hard since turning the corner healing the last couple years at fixing best I can.
CGC and their ilk minions never cease the attacks as I point out the ponzi scheeme they truly are. Back in summer 2007 that firm damaged in their HQ in Florida a valuable All Star #8 (first Wonder Woman 1941) as well as All Star Comics #7 and refused to make good on it. I do not have the funds to hire a Florida attorney.
With Steve Geppi's personal blessings by his firm Gemstone's specific invitation Oct 1996 I have been co-teaching the origins of the comic strip book in America dating back to 1842 to the rest of the comics world inside the pages of Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide for 17 years in a row now since OPG #27 1997 along with numerous articles in magazine re same. Am in the credit/acknowledgements in over 200 books by others on comics as these authors seek clarification on what their own books are covering. Seven more again just this year 2014 alone. Exploring and dealing same is a way of life for me for over 40 years now.
I was out of it for over half a decade in mind numbing pain 2005-2012 which I am trying to fix errors I accidentally made. I deal with short term memory loss as a result which is why I have to take the Dilantin. if I do not within a couple days I revert back in to a fog which is beyond difficult trying to deal with. Again, thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by BlowinNTheWind ( talk • contribs) 16:04, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Hitler's use of psychological projection is described in detail in Langer's secret OSS report. I'm not sure why you removed it?, Langer's report is already cited deeper in the article. Jonas Vinther ( talk) 14:16, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi Diannaa. Could you please move First World problem to First World problems. Cheers! Jonas Vinther ( talk) 11:50, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Hi, I would like my userpage RoseAurora {{ db-author}} removed because I'm going to use this account anymore, and I won't log in that much
