Hello. Could you take a look at this user's activity? S/he keeps inserting misplaced and/or unreferenced POV-pushing claims to articles about Greek music: specifically in bouzouki ("in ancient Greece, the instrument was known as trichordo or Pandoura") and makam ( see the lame edit-warring). Even if s/he is not a sockpuppet of Plouton2 (see the relevant discussion in my talk-page), s/he should be blocked solely on the grounds of her/him being disruptive and having unacceptably poor command of English. Maybe we also need to semi-protect these articles from being edited to prevent this vandalism. -- Omnipaedista ( talk) 15:26, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear Fellow,
A few days back, while reviewing some submitted pages for creation by an editor, I rejected them for being non-notable. The editor asked for some guidance regarding the decline and was provided to him (on my talk page).
Today, I checked the pages to see if the editor has made some modifications or not; and I was surprised to see all the pages being moved to the article space i.e., accepted. Going to the history of the articles, I found that the editor (author of the articles) had himself moved all the pages to the article space by accepting them.
Is this thing allowed at Wikipedia?? Can an author/editor himself approve his own page?? I did not nominate it for speedy deletion because I just wanted to make sure if I was right about this. I am providing links to some of these articles, kindly check them out yourself. XK8ER ( talk) is the author/editor of the articles.
Here is the list:

Given our history, including the two recent bad blocks which were reversed, it is clear that you are unable to interact with me in an unbiased manner. While I think that you abused your admin tools in both instances and failed to live up to your responsibilities by refusing to ask for a block review on ANI, I am not going to pursue it. You are a biased and involved admin when it comes to anything involving me. Under no circumstances should you be using your tools in any matter in which I am heavily involved. I think this should be obvious at this point, even to you, but I wanted to make sure that you are aware of how I see things so that you are not surprised later on. Thanks.

Hi, can you please advise whether League of Nations mandate comes under WP:ARBPIA? This article is wider than the Israel-Palestine conflict, but all the problems that occur there are in relation to the Palestine mandate. In my opinion it applies, but as an 'involved' administrator I need a second opinion. If you agree that ARBPIA applies, please also deliver the standard ARBPIA "warning" to User talk:FireJeff or tell me that I'm allowed to (I've never been clear about that). Replying here is lovely. Thanks. Zero talk 12:42, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Not sure if this is where I should post - but I put a great deal of care into updating an article called 'Tom Walkinshaw Racing' which you have just made a careless edit of. I was wondering if you could explain the reasoning behind the edit? The chronological order of the cars is out of place and it no longer makes any sense. The previous table was much better.

Or maybe better "who is a vandal?" Could you please have a look at this ? User:Masri145 reverts a very mainstream edit with such an edit summary, accusing the previous contributor of vandalism. I am interested here because I had made a similar edit myself before them and have never thought my edit had "vandalism" in it. Therefore, I take this as as a personal attack. (BTW I have a very strong feeling the said user name and user:23x2 are either used by the same person or are acting in a co-ordinated way in articles regarding Turks, Greeks and the island of Cyprus. Other than having similar POVs they edit at the same time and go to vacations at the same time...) In short I accuse them to have a not acceptable relationship in WP (sockpuppetry, meat sock, canvassing, whatsoever) and am ready to apologize if I am wrong. All the best. -- E4024 ( talk) 20:13, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
My apologies for replacing the photo, I didn't know that just by uploading something with the same name as a prior file that it would replace it (how does one even check for that?) Anyhow, I've resubmitted an OTRS email to ensure the copyright release of that photo is still received. Is there a way of double-checking photo names so this doesn't happen again? Jeremy112233 ( talk) 22:56, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:Richard Alpert.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 00:05, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Hello! I saw your message regarding the photo I included in the article " The Substitute". I am very sorry for not including viable explanations and information regarding the photo.

I didn't see your comment to a similar effect until I drafted my proposal, which has been spinning round my head for months, at WP:VPP#Image use policy.

Hello, is it possible to change the licensing on this photo so it does not get deleted? I was not sure where the copyright on this photo falls under, as I took it myself, but could find no option for performance photographs.
Hello Fut.Perf., I have edited my blog with a Copyright and Attributions disclaimer on the left hand side underneath the user image: http://cigsphotography.blogspot.com/
Hello. You recently deleted 4 images that I uploaded. I wanted to see if you could help me. I obviously did something wrong with the way I uploaded them. I have permission to use these images. I got the permission, in writing VIA e-mail from the company that owns the images. How should I go about uploading these images? I thought that "logo" was the best category to put them under (I was wrong) and I didn't mean to mark them as non-replaceable. All of this was done through the upload wizard.
Again, I would beg your assistance. I want to be a helpful contributor and follow the rules. I DO have permission to use these images, I just don't know how to cite them I guess.

Dear Sir,
With due respect, I would like to draw your attention to the following fact that about a couple of months ago I have created an Article on Wikipedia with the Title: Stefan Brunnhuber. The link to the Wikipedia Article is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Brunnhuber. On that Article, I have uploaded some images. All of them were deleted by you. One of the image was named as Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. The Link to the image file is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. Mr. Stefan Brunnhuber has personally contacted Wikipedia through Email and the Wikipedia Authority has approved the image called Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg with the Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. So, shall I re-post the image on WIKIMEDIA Common? Or is there anything else that you can suggest me to do. I would eagerly wait for your reply.
I, therefore, hope that you would be kind enough to give me a solution about the problem and oblige me thereby.
I remain, Yours Sincerely, Sourov00.

Back during the Beatles RfC closure discussion you repeatedly threatened to block me over my alteration of two quotes several days prior to your first threat. Well, the first quote, from Schinder and Schwartz was changed to Big "T", the original source uses lowercase. As for the other, a spoken quote from Harrison, during the mediation closure discussion you said: "Again: if these are meant to be renderings of originally spoken utterances from Lennon, there is no problem at all – anybody is free to spell them in whichever way they like", well that's exactly what the second quote was, a clumsy, unsourced quote to something Harrison said according to Ingham. Therefore, your block would have been unjustified, stale and since you were clearly involved in the dispute, inappropriate. I think an apology is in order.

I uploaded that image years ago along with a bunch of others for various Star Trek episodes, and since then others have deleted and/or replaced my images because they think theirs were better and what not - I really don't care, but for this image I had a good rationale written for it that seemed satisfactory until someone else decided to change it on me. So again, I replaced the rationale with my original text - if it's not good enough then do whatever with it because I'm sick of babysitting things around when someone suddenly thinks it's not good enough.

Hi Future Perfect at Sunrise. Cla68 removed the log of the warning you issued to Mors Martell from WP:ARBR&I. Since he made the edit without any discussion anywhere on wikipedia, reversing an administrative decision, his edit appeared to me to be vandalism and I reverted it at such.

An editor who you have previously warned under WP:ARBMAC is now up for discussion at WP:AE#Maurice07. The complaint is one of nationalistic edit warring on topics related to Greece and Turkey. See also a report at AN/EW that was closed by forwarding it to AE. There was also a previous ANI from September 2012 in which he was blocked for revert warring about the placement of Turkey in Europe in a series of articles about diplomatic missions.

I added the information as the template suggested, but... You and I are both pretty experienced editors. If, after reading my response, you really think that image is inappropriate, why not just delete it? Let's see if we can't find a better image together? I think my reasoning will hold the image, but if you still think it's problematic, just delete it, there's no reason for tagging and debate. I am sure that together we can find a solution that satifies your concerns, and still gets an image into the article. How about it?

On this one, there is copyright information missing? Can you specify? I uploaded that one a very long time ago, but I remember searching pretty hard for a free source. Can you tell me what is missing? I'm using that image in an article on my own userspace, so if it turns out we have to delete it I'll probably replace it with my own artwork.

. I reviewed all the active AfDs on WP:MMA and the page on WT:MMA and only Paralympiakos, Sepulwiki, PortlandOregon97217 support your interpretation of WP:NMMA.
I can't speak for the other two, but I for sure am not a sockpuppet/meatpuppet of wilddawg. From what I understand he is somewhere on the east coast, and I'm on the west coast. I fully invite you to verify this yourself with all the checkuser tools and whatnot. Anyway, I would just like to say that the three mentioned + wilddawg represents about half of the regular posters over at the mma wikiproject. Yet at an afd the four of us seem to get stomped out and accused of just making up notability guidelines and not conforming to consensus reached at WP:MMATIER. You can't say that four people who are semi-active at applicable project don't matter when applying "consensus" reached in a subsection of the mma wikiproject. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if consensus could be reached at an afd. So why can't WP:mmatier be adjusted via the talk at an afd based on four seperate peoples imput? I'm not saying thats a reason to keep articles. I'm just saying That is not logical. I could go on and on... Anyway, I'm just saying that Wilddawg was not alone in his frustration. I'm sure you are aware the two of us were outed by some unknown assailant. So at the least there is someone out there who wants to silence us, and over trivial matters. of course you could say "if it is trivial then why are you writing about it?"? Well, because someone from this project posted my real name at the least. I figured I might as well say a word about a like minded individual who has a different than mine main area of editing interest on Wikipedia (I guess formats and such). Thanks for reading.

? Thanks,Hello, I need a help for No-FoP situations for buildings issue. A month ago User:Stefan2 said at commons discussion, "English Wikipedia may choose to host images which aren't acceptable on Commons and still refer to the images as "free". For example, English Wikipedia has templates such as ...... and Template:FoP-USonly which are used for images which are very often not acceptable on Commons." However, Current WP:NFC page does not clearly say about this issue, as this statement: "Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. This includes non-free promotional images." I think the statement needs to be rewritten since some countries do not recognize Freedom of Panorama for buildings (but US does), and if Template:FoP-USonly is a valid license tag, please consider suggesting that image uploaders should upload no-FoP building photos to English Wikipedia, not to Commons, and rewriting File upload wizard page to educate the uploaders. -- Puramyun31 ( talk) 16:35, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey, this just to question you as to why user: Harishrawat11 was blocked indefinitely. I have seen his edits and reviewed some of his articles and I am appalled by the fact that his account has been blocked indefinitely because his edits are exemplary and he is also part of various WikiProjects and Portals... I wish to make an honest request to you to please revert the block and allow this editor to return to Wikipedia... It seems that he has spent a lot of time editing Wikipedia articles... He quotes proper references, has created good articles, has good editing scrutiny and his contributions are noteworthy...I completely understand that user: Blamecivil95 is but of course a sock puppet of user: Vrghs Jacob, not to mention I am also a staunch supporter of removal of damaging sock puppets, and Harishrawat11's edits are similar, but without consequential proof I believe that you were wrong to block his account... And so although you may consider this to be and example of meat puppeting, which it isn't, I honestly request you from one editor to another to revert this block... It is my personal opinion, not that I ask you to treat this as a testimony,this user does not appear to be a sock puppet... The rest I leave to you... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajayupai95 ( talk • contribs)
Dear Future Perfect at Sunrise, although I do not wish to fuel this topic any further and start a heated debate, I must let you know that Directorate of Income Tax Intelligence and Criminal Investigation, in my opinon is a child article that he had to create because he saw the need for it. I believe that he knew it was blocked because after a close scrutiny of what he has done before the creation of the article i found that he had asked user:SpacemanSpiff whether he could create it, I would like you to check this user's talk page if you can. The article is not botched up from govt websites as first of all there is no government website with the info. I think you are wrong in your judgement her because he only referred to Law Enforcement in India information.I would say the calling of this editor as a serial copyright violator uncalled for and wrong because there are only a handful of articles of this editor's that have been found to have violated copyrights. I seriously do not wish to extend this conversation and get into a fight about it... If your decision is going to remain unchanging then so be it, but you should know that I feel that this editor deserves another chance... Ajayupai95 ( talk) 12:54, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, just want to ask why all the photos under the Bam Aquino entry were deleted right away. I am not yet finished editing the tags for each image because of the very slow connection. Just want to ask if I have violated any rules or guidelines regarding images? Please guide me since it has been a long time since I used the wiki platform and I am not very familiar with new rules regarding uploading and citing images and copyrights. Our group own the images and we are just enriching Bam Aquino's page so would you be kind to guide us if what's the best license tag to use? Also, is there a way to get back the images and it's descriptions and I promise to use the proper tag already. Pleas advise. Thanks! Huit08 ( talk)

Hi FPAS You deleted files for copyright vio. I had a similar discussion with RHayworth yesterday. This is becoming very tedious. I own the files. Please reinstate. FYI: every image on the Anatolian and Kangal page that has been uploaded by myself, also exists in various forms on other websites and forums. I did not mind to share my images on wiki because the files are already in the public domain. However, because an administrator sees the images exist elsewhere on the www and immediately deletes, the situation is becoming that I have to make public my identity in order to verify there is no copyright vio as I own the images and written content.

Not quite.
In conclusion, I find that if there is a good reason, under WP:NFC, to include an image of the packaging, it should be a photograph. I don't know if such issues have been discussed elsewhere, but there seems to be ample precedent for including that sort of photograph (e.g. here, here, here). Incidentally, I notice that you apparently also avoided using a photograph of the actual product (the individual mints), using a exaggeratedly simple line drawing instead. This is unnecessary, because the mints themselves are most certainly not copyrightable creative works, so a free photograph of them is clearly possible. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:40, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a little confused with the recent deletions of the "Being Human (series X)" articles. I would assume that someone would have first tagged them as copyvios before you deleted them. I was just wondering if you could please tell me the parts of these articles that were copyright infringements? It's just the articles were formed from existing information in Being Human (TV series) and List of Being Human episodes with the addition of citations where applicable (I know this was definitely the case with Being Human (series 1) because I made it). If the content was a copyvio then why haven't those articles had any attention? I find it odd because Dannybaby1234 ( talk · contribs) created a series of articles in the form of "Being Human (UK series X)" articles just hours before the originals were deleted.

On Vladislav Jonima, some users are questioning the representation of a quote from Oliver Schmitt. They don't possess even the elementary knowledge that is necessary to evaluate German-language sources and yet they reverted me. The quote in question is
...erscheint ein Angehöriger eines alten ethnisch albanischen Adelsgeschlechts, Vladislav Jonima, als Zupan, später als „Graf von Dioclea und Küstenalbanien" Vladislav Jonima, als Zupan, später als „Graf von Dioclea und Küstenalbanien". Der slawische Vorname und die Stellung dieses vornehmen Albaners in einem slawisch dominierten Staat zeigt die enge Verbindung beider ethnischer Elemente, deren Oberschicht im Mittlerlater miteinander verschmolzen war.
,which I represented as "Oliver Jens Schmitt regards his position in Slavic state and (Slavic) name, despite his non-Slavic (Albanian) ethnicity as a sign of close relations between the nobilities of the two groups in the region." and which was reverted to "Swiss historian Oliver Jens Schmitt notes that his name (Slavic), and his position in a Slavic state, is evidence of both Serbian and Albanian element in northern Albania." -- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 14:09, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear Future Perfect at Sunrise,
I know--and respect--the fact that you probably lead a busy real life outside wikipedia and that as an Administrator here, you presumably get targetted by vandalism. On the matter at hand, I ask for a little common sense on some of these Voyager images. I am not perfect and I did not contest your removal of this image file which probably wasn't a good one for this Voyager article. But it seems as if you almost have an agenda to Delete all the Voyager images on their wikipedia articles even when you haven't seen the Voyager shows. My question is three-fold? How do you know that an image is inappropriate for the show if you haven't seen it? An image might convey a critical aspect of the show--which you might consider unimportant but other Trek fans who have seen the shows consider significant. Secondly, why is it that when you remove an image from an article that I uploaded, I don't get a notification on my talkpage? User Miyagawa did this to about 2 or 3 images and I got a notification on my talkpage. (I agreed with Miyagawa and asked that the images be deleted--after he gave his reasons why the images were not important to the article--but that's just courtesy.)
Finally, the Non-Free review was supposed to be a discussion of images to be singled out for deletion but as I said, you seem to want to delete ALL of the images mentioned for discussion here before the discussion is over? Is that how wikipedia works. How many good people could wikipedia lose if there has been no agreement? I gave some reasons why some images should be kept and I ask if you will 1. either offer your suggestion to keep any images or 2. agree to keep some images. If I was an Admin (and I am not) I might be open to allowing the use of a few images that were borderline important if I was deleting 25-30 others that are junk. But since you are not a Star Trek fan, how could a Trekkie on wikipedia know that you would treat them fairly here if they upload an image for a show which they have seen but which you haven't?
PS: On the 29th century timeship image, I decided to ask for an uploader's own delete after both your and and Masem's comments at NFC. The Voyager producers did not talk about the timeship's technical features. Thank You, -- Artene50 ( talk) 20:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

But whatever, TDA has now brought it up at AN anyway, it's not getting much traction there either, and I have been hoping to find some time off this stuff to do something nice and peaceful for a change, so anybody who continues to fight about socks and blocks on my talkpage will be made to help me copyedit mensural notation as a punishment (and listen to at least one mass by Ockeghem while doing it, to make the punishment worse.)

Hi, if I remember correctly, you deal with Armenia-Azerbaijan stuff (for your sins). I'm getting a little frustrated at some rather blatant tendentious editing I've found. The nomination of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armenian Congress of Eastern Armenians seems obvious bad faith to me but it was immediately greeted with lots of "delete" votes by Azerbaijani and Turkish nationalist editors who are clearly tag-teaming. I do the detective work, find out this did indeed exist according to academic sources and is simply an alternative name for Armenian National Congress (1917). Therefore the page should be a redirect. Neutral editors agree with me. Yet the AfD simply gets relisted as no consensus.
The nominator Konullu ( talk · contribs) is an obvious sock puppet master with a blatant anti-Armenian agenda who often edits logged-out to avoid ARBAA2 sanctions (he's been warned here [28]) and vote-stack using socks. I've put him up for an WP:SPI investigation here [29]. Seems like beyond WP:DUCK to me. But SPI is a ghost town nowadays and nothing has come of it yet.
Maybe I don't have the patience for Wikipedia any more, but this blatant tendentiousness and tag-teaming annoys me.
Anyhow, I'll understand if you don't want to deal with this, and if that's the case maybe I'll try Sandstein instead. Cheers. -- Folantin ( talk) 09:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Maniots, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Tsakonian and Dorian ( 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.

Are you the editor that created Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard? If so Kudos. It is much nicer than before. While I usually use the Commons upload Wizard, I've been uploading logos recently, so I've been using the Wikipedia version.
I did run into one snag today. I tried uploading a file, filled out a complete non-free rationale, and clicked upload. No error message but no upload. Tried several times before I finally figured out the problem. The company sent me an image with extension .png, but it was really a .jpg. The upload Wizard won't upload it, which is fine, but it didn't tell me that there was a problem, so it was only by accident that I figured it out (I tried deleting the file form my local drive, and it popped up a warning.)
I hope it would be easy to add a warning. If you aren't the creator, do you know who is?-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 21:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello there! I have added several more authors now and I just got Katicic views from a friend. I used to have some photocopies from Brixhe and Panayotou's work, but they are long gone and lost after I moved. I was wondering if you have any way to get a snapshot of their contribution somehow? It is still the most quoted work until now and it would be priceless for the article.
I believe we're getting closer having a complete set of sources to make an undisputable and balanced article.
Also, I am wondering if you're involved into any other Ancient languages articles on wikipedia?

Hello. I'm writing to you because you seem to know how to handle people like this. I've been running up against User:Franek K., who is a single-purpose account that has been inserting his Silesian nationalist POV all over various articles touching on the Slavic languages. Most recently this is leading to an edit war of sorts in Slavic languages, where he is going against a consensus of 3 or 4 editors, including a number (me, Volunteer Marek, Joris V) who have been active on a large number of linguistics-related pages. His m.o. is tendentious editing, abuse of the concepts of neutrality/verifiability/original research and consistent personal attacks against people disagreeing with him. It's getting very old but I have no idea how to handle this because I usually work on areas that engender less controversy. Benwing ( talk) 11:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Future Perfect, I hope all's been well. I have a question about image use for you, a topic I know you deal with every once in a while because I see people complaining about your deletions here. I have a cache of scanned and downloaded images of papyri on my computer, and I've only ever uploaded images that I've scanned from publications before 1923. But then I see files like this, with the public domain rationale being that the scribe died more than 70 years ago. Does that hold water? I ask because there is an image that I would like to use that originated from the Oxyrhynchus Papyri website (as did the file I just linked), but there is a copyright notice there which reads:
Unless otherwise stated, all digital images of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri are © the Imaging Papyri Project, University of Oxford. The papyri themselves are owned by the Egypt Exploration Society, London. Images of them may be used for teaching and research purposes, but should not be published without the prior consent of the Imaging Papyri Project and the Egypt Exploration Society. Other digital images are © the Imaging Papyri Project, University of Oxford. If you are aware of any inadvertent misattribution or copyright infringement on our part, please tell us without delay.
I'd love your thoughts on this, because I can't tell if the rationale for that one papyrus is just completely disingenuous, or if the Oxyrhynchus Papyri copyright claim is just a claim without grounds. davidiad { t } 18:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I feel bad that I have immediately been labelled "tendentious" per the statement I made at AN/I following yours. Either way, all that was being typed out while the other noticeboard thread was being created. I know that the material I posted is not the kind of thing sought on that page but there is more to editing than simply assuming "my source is better than his" hence the reason we have agreement, resolution and consensus. To that end, I outlined the entire exchange which tomorrow celebrates one year since making its first appearance. See not only how I am one of three editors to approve a revision contested by one person only inside a year, but that no valid argument has ever been given for an absolute blanking. Redacting/copyediting maybe but blanking, certainly not. Please see the list before concluding who is tendentious and whether Boomerang is necessary [41]. Thank you.

Greetings. Due of our past history, and your habit of not wishing to discuss matters before you act, I felt it necessary to take our issues to the ANI, as you obviously see from above. I just wanted to add that this is not personal in any way. We've never really engaged outside of the SAQ. I just think you have been singling out just one side of the room for bans and other discretionary sanctions, while turning a blind eye to the bullies. As such, I just don't believe you are acting fair. Smatprt ( talk) 23:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
It is a generally accepted practice that renewed warnings are not necessary in cases of repeated sanctions for the same type of behaviour. If you've been sanctioned before, you are supposed to be aware of what kinds of behaviour to avoid. You clearly knew that your actions were again being viewed – at least by your opponents – as disruptive. I appreciate that you yourself obviously do not feel they were, just as you evidently did not think so when you were sanctioned last year, nor the year before that. Still, those prior sanctions were imposed and upheld. The question is not whether you knew you were being disruptive; the question is whether you had a reason to think your behaviour now was substantially different from your behaviour back then, prior to to the previous bans. To me, it seems fairly obvious that it was not. Can you honestly claim it was? Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Smatprt, as is typical for you, you either failed to comprehend the policies you linked to, or you are trying to misrepresent them to your advantage.
The first guideline you linked to concerns blocks, not bans. IOW, if you violate the topic ban, you will be subject to being blocked. The second guideline you referred to states "Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to the decision authorizing sanctions; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines." Nothing is specified about who should execute that warning, and in fact you were given the required warning by me, exactly nine days before you were again topic-banned.
Hope this helps. Tom Reedy ( talk) 18:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Did you wrote two lies in one sentence? And a threat ofcourse.
This area didn't seem quiet peacefull why I was away.
Your main purpose doesn't seem that it is to keep it quiet. It's propably to keep it near your opinion as you did in Baba mountain], where ecxept of the turn back, you also erased from the encyclopedia, the Greek name of the mountain, like it is only in one country, not considering that it is a mount between two countries. And you didn't see also my question about two articles with same subject Talk:Baba Mountain Varnous. You didn't care about that? What is your concern actually?
And you threat me because I was banned before(!!!??!). Is this has something to add in the conversation? Is it helpful to improove encyclopedia? No. It is just a threat like, "let this area to me and don't even dare to get close". Is this co-operation you suggest?
About "Republic of Macedonia" disambiguation, I explained well, I think. What don't you understand? The only thing remains is to put a reliable source. I am trying to find one in English. Until then, I agree with your turn back. It is just a Macedonian rebel of the Republican party of Greece in 1916 and was called like this by journalists of that era. This is just a fact. I just wanted to add it because it gives the reader a better opportunity when he is seeking something. User:Pyraechmes Chrusts 19:22, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
First of all, is it possible for a mount in the heart of
Macedonia (region) to have a "Macedonian side" and consequently a "non Macedonian side"? You mean the Macedonian side of Greece or the Macedonian side of "Republic of Macedonia"?
About the "Republic of Macedonia" disambiguation, I explained it in the page I created. If that wasn't enough I am willing to answer more questions. But, I think everyone understood what exactly the disambiguation was?
You are right when you say that you didn't find evidence (at least in English) for the Republic of macedonia that established in 1916. I couldn't find my self either. Don't be prejudiced because no other said this before. Greeks don't know history at all. And also, it is impossible for a Greek (even an academic) to search the newspapers of that era. Because most of them, just don't care.
For the Varnous or Varnoundas mountain, I didn't make a search first. And i didn't see the other article Varnous. I saw it later. I will unite them sometime when I have more time. But, that is not a reason not to mention the Greek name at all. Although, I know that Skopjans call it more often with the second Greek name Pelister (Greek Peristeri), as I have visited Monastiri (Bitola) many times. Baba name is a Turkish name. Skopjans adopted it because thay didn't want to adopt a Greek name for the mountain. But the local people still call it Peristeri/Pelister (in both countries).
For all the rest you are right.

I welcome reviews of references and collaboration towards perfection - that is what Wikipedia is about. Your dyspepsia related to this page is, however, a disservice. And, quite the contrary, Fut Per at Sunrise, I have worked very hard to incorporate diverse references pertinent to the global clinical conversation in various aspects, as well as an inter-disciplinary approach. Human development is my area of academic study, involving a full range of science & arts. Though not a programmer, my Wikipedia scholarship offerings are solid.
My agenda is to build a page where theoretical and visual education provide current sources, encourage more research, and serve as a community education resource.
Your accusation of tenditious is perhaps more a reflection of your personal opinion of the topic, as my references are quality. I have contributed to Wikipedia for over 6 years, and even been awarded for my contributions, despite my lack of advanced technical skills which involve many edits per session and difficulties at times with image uploading. -- KellyPhD ( talk) 06:49, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
P.S. I saw the stub you made - wow, kind of ugly, after all that good work. Hope the review proves expedient and helpful.
Though Lotus Birth is an area of particular personal scholarship, I have also contributed to many other pages: Asana, Guru, Shakti, Rishi, Yogi, Yogini, Doula, Home Birth, Midwifery, etc. For several years I also helped protect pages from blatantly illegal, profit-oriented linkage and marketing verbage that continually crops up on the Cord Blood Bank related pages.
You may be an editor, and you are obviously more technically advanced than I, but your dyspepsia is not conducive to community or collaboration. The lotus birth page has received very little help until now, when you notice I've added a ton of stuff due to the current mass media surge on the topic. Rather than contribute, or question, you make it a stub? This isn't just about the topic, it's about an emotional reaction to the topic and/or the visuals, obviously. -- KellyPhD ( talk) 07:00, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
So, I just looked at your page and saw that you are a real Admin. Would you please inform as to whether my references are being reviewed at all, as was suggested in your original post? The reverted version, contains much less current data, so the page now lacks several pertinent current evidence-based journal citations, journalist article links, and inter-disciplinary sources.

We noticed though that when you edited Lotus birth, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Umbilicus ( 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.

Your position requires practicing objectivity, which in turn particularly applies to refraining from personal attacks. I trust your comment @ Piotrus' RfA "2" was not meant for me. As far as I can tell from the proceedings, apparently, to support is to conspire, to oppose is to protect WP. Please keep your future comments limited to the RfA candidate. There are dozens of editors supporting Piotrus having nothing to do with "coteries". VєсrumЬа ► TALK 13:46, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Hello, FP, in lingustics, what is the name of the phenomenon of "strengthening" words/phrases which have become so phonologically reduced that they're ambiguous or hard to hear? e.g. French aujourd'hui 'on the day of today' for hui /ɥi/ (< presumably from Latin hodie 'this day'), or "est-ce que c'est" /eskəse/ 'is it that it is' for "est-ce" /es/ 'is it'.

Dear Fellow,
A few days back, while reviewing some submitted pages for creation by an editor, I rejected them for being non-notable. The editor asked for some guidance regarding the decline and was provided to him (on my talk page).
Today, I checked the pages to see if the editor has made some modifications or not; and I was surprised to see all the pages being moved to the article space i.e., accepted. Going to the history of the articles, I found that the editor (author of the articles) had himself moved all the pages to the article space by accepting them.
Is this thing allowed at Wikipedia?? Can an author/editor himself approve his own page?? I did not nominate it for speedy deletion because I just wanted to make sure if I was right about this. I am providing links to some of these articles, kindly check them out yourself. XK8ER ( talk) is the author/editor of the articles.

Given our history, including the two recent bad blocks which were reversed, it is clear that you are unable to interact with me in an unbiased manner. While I think that you abused your admin tools in both instances and failed to live up to your responsibilities by refusing to ask for a block review on ANI, I am not going to pursue it. You are a biased and involved admin when it comes to anything involving me. Under no circumstances should you be using your tools in any matter in which I am heavily involved.

Or maybe better "who is a vandal?" Could you please have a look at this ? User:Masri145 reverts a very mainstream edit with such an edit summary, accusing the previous contributor of vandalism. I am interested here because I had made a similar edit myself before them and have never thought my edit had "vandalism" in it. Therefore, I take this as as a personal attack. (BTW I have a very strong feeling the said user name and user:23x2 are either used by the same person or are acting in a co-ordinated way in articles regarding Turks, Greeks and the island of Cyprus. Other than having similar POVs they edit at the same time and go to vacations at the same time...)

Thanks for uploading File:Richard Alpert.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Hello, is it possible to change the licensing on this photo so it does not get deleted? I was not sure where the copyright on this photo falls under, as I took it myself, but could find no option for performance photographs.
Hello Fut.Perf., I have edited my blog with a Copyright and Attributions disclaimer on the left hand side underneath the user image: http://cigsphotography.blogspot.com/
Hello. You recently deleted 4 images that I uploaded. I wanted to see if you could help me. I obviously did something wrong with the way I uploaded them. I have permission to use these images. I got the permission, in writing VIA e-mail from the company that owns the images. How should I go about uploading these images? I thought that "logo" was the best category to put them under (I was wrong) and I didn't mean to mark them as non-replaceable. All of this was done through the upload wizard.
Again, I would beg your assistance. I want to be a helpful contributor and follow the rules. I DO have permission to use these images, I just don't know how to cite them I guess.

Dear Sir,
With due respect, I would like to draw your attention to the following fact that about a couple of months ago I have created an Article on Wikipedia with the Title: Stefan Brunnhuber. The link to the Wikipedia Article is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan_Brunnhuber. On that Article, I have uploaded some images. All of them were deleted by you. One of the image was named as Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. The Link to the image file is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. Mr. Stefan Brunnhuber has personally contacted Wikipedia through Email and the Wikipedia Authority has approved the image called Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg with the Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Stefan_Brunnhuber.jpg. So, shall I re-post the image on WIKIMEDIA Common? Or is there anything else that you can suggest me to do. I would eagerly wait for your reply.
I, therefore, hope that you would be kind enough to give me a solution about the problem and oblige me thereby.
I remain, Yours Sincerely, Sourov00.

Back during the Beatles RfC closure discussion you repeatedly threatened to block me over my alteration of two quotes several days prior to your first threat. Well, the first quote, from Schinder and Schwartz was changed to Big "T", the original source uses lowercase. As for the other, a spoken quote from Harrison, during the mediation closure discussion you said: "Again: if these are meant to be renderings of originally spoken utterances from Lennon, there is no problem at all – anybody is free to spell them in whichever way they like", well that's exactly what the second quote was, a clumsy, unsourced quote to something Harrison said according to Ingham. Therefore, your block would have been unjustified, stale and since you were clearly involved in the dispute, inappropriate. I think an apology is in order.

I uploaded that image years ago along with a bunch of others for various Star Trek episodes, and since then others have deleted and/or replaced my images because they think theirs were better and what not - I really don't care, but for this image I had a good rationale written for it that seemed satisfactory until someone else decided to change it on me.

Hi Future Perfect at Sunrise. Cla68 removed the log of the warning you issued to Mors Martell from WP:ARBR&I.

I added the information as the template suggested, but... You and I are both pretty experienced editors. If, after reading my response, you really think that image is inappropriate, why not just delete it? Let's see if we can't find a better image together? I think my reasoning will hold the image, but if you still think it's problematic, just delete it, there's no reason for tagging and debate. I am sure that together we can find a solution that satifies your concerns, and still gets an image into the article. How about it? Joint Wiki-mission? :) -- Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 20:07, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
On this one, there is copyright information missing? Can you specify? I uploaded that one a very long time ago, but I remember searching pretty hard for a free source. Can you tell me what is missing? I'm using that image in an article on my own userspace, so if it turns out we have to delete it I'll probably replace it with my own artwork. (I'll take a public domain tombstone and carve my own funny epitaph into it) Still, I'd like to use the real one, so if you can please specify exactly what I need for it, i'll swing into action. -- Sue Rangell ✍ ✉ 19:37, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

. I reviewed all the active AfDs on WP:MMA and the page on WT:MMA and only Paralympiakos, Sepulwiki, PortlandOregon97217 support your interpretation of WP:NMMA.
I can't speak for the other two, but I for sure am not a sockpuppet/meatpuppet of wilddawg. From what I understand he is somewhere on the east coast, and I'm on the west coast. I fully invite you to verify this yourself with all the checkuser tools and whatnot. Anyway, I would just like to say that the three mentioned + wilddawg represents about half of the regular posters over at the mma wikiproject. Yet at an afd the four of us seem to get stomped out and accused of just making up notability guidelines and not conforming to consensus reached at WP:MMATIER. You can't say that four people who are semi-active at applicable project don't matter when applying "consensus" reached in a subsection of the mma wikiproject. I'm not sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if consensus could be reached at an afd. So why can't WP:mmatier be adjusted via the talk at an afd based on four seperate peoples imput? I'm not saying thats a reason to keep articles. I'm just saying That is not logical. I could go on and on... Anyway, I'm just saying that Wilddawg was not alone in his frustration. I'm sure you are aware the two of us were outed by some unknown assailant. So at the least there is someone out there who wants to silence us, and over trivial matters. of course you could say "if it is trivial then why are you writing about it?"? Well, because someone from this project posted my real name at the least. I figured I might as well say a word about a like minded individual who has a different than mine main area of editing interest on Wikipedia (I guess formats and such). Thanks for reading.

? Thanks,Hello, I need a help for No-FoP situations for buildings issue. A month ago User:Stefan2 said at commons discussion, "English Wikipedia may choose to host images which aren't acceptable on Commons and still refer to the images as "free". For example, English Wikipedia has templates such as ...... and Template:FoP-USonly which are used for images which are very often not acceptable on Commons." However, Current WP:NFC page does not clearly say about this issue, as this statement: "Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing; provided that taking a new free picture as a replacement (which is almost always considered possible) would serve the same encyclopedic purpose as the non-free image. This includes non-free promotional images." I think the statement needs to be rewritten since some countries do not recognize Freedom of Panorama for buildings (but US does), and if Template:FoP-USonly is a valid license tag, please consider suggesting that image uploaders should upload no-FoP building photos to English Wikipedia, not to Commons, and rewriting File upload wizard page to educate the uploaders. -- Puramyun31 ( talk) 16:35, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

Hey, this just to question you as to why user: Harishrawat11 was blocked indefinitely. I have seen his edits and reviewed some of his articles and I am appalled by the fact that his account has been blocked indefinitely because his edits are exemplary and he is also part of various WikiProjects and Portals... I wish to make an honest request to you to please revert the block and allow this editor to return to Wikipedia... It seems that he has spent a lot of time editing Wikipedia articles... He quotes proper references, has created good articles, has good editing scrutiny and his contributions are noteworthy...I completely understand that user: Blamecivil95 is but of course a sock puppet of user: Vrghs Jacob, not to mention I am also a staunch supporter of removal of damaging sock puppets, and Harishrawat11's edits are similar, but without consequential proof I believe that you were wrong to block his account... And so although you may consider this to be and example of meat puppeting, which it isn't, I honestly request you from one editor to another to revert this block... It is my personal opinion, not that I ask you to treat this as a testimony,this user does not appear to be a sock puppet...

Dear Future Perfect at Sunrise, although I do not wish to fuel this topic any further and start a heated debate, I must let you know that Directorate of Income Tax Intelligence and Criminal Investigation, in my opinon is a child article that he had to create because he saw the need for it. I believe that he knew it was blocked because after a close scrutiny of what he has done before the creation of the article i found that he had asked user:SpacemanSpiff whether he could create it, I would like you to check this user's talk page if you can. The article is not botched up from govt websites as first of all there is no government website with the info. I think you are wrong in your judgement her because he only referred to Law Enforcement in India information.I would say the calling of this editor as a serial copyright violator uncalled for and wrong because there are only a handful of articles of this editor's that have been found to have violated copyrights. I seriously do not wish to extend this conversation and get into a fight about it...

Hi FPAS You deleted files for copyright vio. I had a similar discussion with RHayworth yesterday. This is becoming very tedious. I own the files. Please reinstate. FYI: every image on the Anatolian and Kangal page that has been uploaded by myself, also exists in various forms on other websites and forums. I did not mind to share my images on wiki because the files are already in the public domain. However, because an administrator sees the images exist elsewhere on the www and immediately deletes, the situation is becoming that I have to make public my identity in order to verify there is no copyright vio as I own the images and written content.

Not quite.
In conclusion, I find that if there is a good reason, under WP:NFC, to include an image of the packaging, it should be a photograph. I don't know if such issues have been discussed elsewhere, but there seems to be ample precedent for including that sort of photograph (e.g. here, here, here). Incidentally, I notice that you apparently also avoided using a photograph of the actual product (the individual mints), using a exaggeratedly simple line drawing instead. This is unnecessary, because the mints themselves are most certainly not copyrightable creative works, so a free photograph of them is clearly possible. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:40, 2 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I'm a little confused with the recent deletions of the "Being Human (series X)" articles. I would assume that someone would have first tagged them as copyvios before you deleted them. I was just wondering if you could please tell me the parts of these articles that were copyright infringements? It's just the articles were formed from existing information in Being Human (TV series) and List of Being Human episodes with the addition of citations where applicable (I know this was definitely the case with Being Human (series 1) because I made it). If the content was a copyvio then why haven't those articles had any attention? I find it odd because Dannybaby1234 ( talk · contribs) created a series of articles in the form of "Being Human (UK series X)" articles just hours before the originals were deleted.

On Vladislav Jonima, some users are questioning the representation of a quote from Oliver Schmitt. They don't possess even the elementary knowledge that is necessary to evaluate German-language sources and yet they reverted me. The quote in question is
...erscheint ein Angehöriger eines alten ethnisch albanischen Adelsgeschlechts, Vladislav Jonima, als Zupan, später als „Graf von Dioclea und Küstenalbanien" Vladislav Jonima, als Zupan, später als „Graf von Dioclea und Küstenalbanien". Der slawische Vorname und die Stellung dieses vornehmen Albaners in einem slawisch dominierten Staat zeigt die enge Verbindung beider ethnischer Elemente, deren Oberschicht im Mittlerlater miteinander verschmolzen war.
,which I represented as "Oliver Jens Schmitt regards his position in Slavic state and (Slavic) name, despite his non-Slavic (Albanian) ethnicity as a sign of close relations between the nobilities of the two groups in the region." and which was reverted to "Swiss historian Oliver Jens Schmitt notes that his name (Slavic), and his position in a Slavic state, is evidence of both Serbian and Albanian element in northern Albania." -- — ZjarriRrethues — talk 14:09, 4 February 2013 (UTC)

Dear Future Perfect at Sunrise,
I know--and respect--the fact that you probably lead a busy real life outside wikipedia and that as an Administrator here, you presumably get targetted by vandalism. On the matter at hand, I ask for a little common sense on some of these Voyager images. I am not perfect and I did not contest your removal of this image file which probably wasn't a good one for this Voyager article. But it seems as if you almost have an agenda to Delete all the Voyager images on their wikipedia articles even when you haven't seen the Voyager shows. My question is three-fold? How do you know that an image is inappropriate for the show if you haven't seen it? An image might convey a critical aspect of the show--which you might consider unimportant but other Trek fans who have seen the shows consider significant. Secondly, why is it that when you remove an image from an article that I uploaded, I don't get a notification on my talkpage? User Miyagawa did this to about 2 or 3 images and I got a notification on my talkpage. (I agreed with Miyagawa and asked that the images be deleted--after he gave his reasons why the images were not important to the article--but that's just courtesy.)
Finally, the Non-Free review was supposed to be a discussion of images to be singled out for deletion but as I said, you seem to want to delete ALL of the images mentioned for discussion here before the discussion is over? Is that how wikipedia works. How many good people could wikipedia lose if there has been no agreement? I gave some reasons why some images should be kept and I ask if you will 1. either offer your suggestion to keep any images or 2. agree to keep some images. If I was an Admin (and I am not) I might be open to allowing the use of a few images that were borderline important if I was deleting 25-30 others that are junk. But since you are not a Star Trek fan, how could a Trekkie on wikipedia know that you would treat them fairly here if they upload an image for a show which they have seen but which you haven't?
PS: On the 29th century timeship image, I decided to ask for an uploader's own delete after both your and and Masem's comments at NFC. The Voyager producers did not talk about the timeship's technical features. Thank You, -- Artene50 ( talk) 20:44, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Oh people. I would really have hoped I could just ignore this stuff and wait for it to go away. I wouldn't normally have rejected TDA's approach to me in such a matter, but then, Mathsci's objection is not entirely unreasonable either (it was after all in a thread in which M. had previously been talking with me, and on matter that directly involved M. much more than it did T.) But whatever, TDA has now brought it up at AN anyway, it's not getting much traction there either, and I have been hoping to find some time off this stuff to do something nice and peaceful for a change, so anybody who continues to fight about socks and blocks on my talkpage will be made to help me copyedit mensural notation as a punishment (and listen to at least one mass by Ockeghem while doing it, to make the punishment worse.)

Hi, if I remember correctly, you deal with Armenia-Azerbaijan stuff (for your sins). I'm getting a little frustrated at some rather blatant tendentious editing I've found. The nomination of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armenian Congress of Eastern Armenians seems obvious bad faith to me but it was immediately greeted with lots of "delete" votes by Azerbaijani and Turkish nationalist editors who are clearly tag-teaming. I do the detective work, find out this did indeed exist according to academic sources and is simply an alternative name for Armenian National Congress (1917). Therefore the page should be a redirect. Neutral editors agree with me. Yet the AfD simply gets relisted as no consensus.
The nominator Konullu ( talk · contribs) is an obvious sock puppet master with a blatant anti-Armenian agenda who often edits logged-out to avoid ARBAA2 sanctions (he's been warned here [28]) and vote-stack using socks. I've put him up for an WP:SPI investigation here [29]. Seems like beyond WP:DUCK to me. But SPI is a ghost town nowadays and nothing has come of it yet.
Maybe I don't have the patience for Wikipedia any more, but this blatant tendentiousness and tag-teaming annoys me.
Anyhow, I'll understand if you don't want to deal with this, and if that's the case maybe I'll try Sandstein instead. Cheers. -- Folantin ( talk) 09:11, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Are you the editor that created Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard? If so Kudos. It is much nicer than before. While I usually use the Commons upload Wizard, I've been uploading logos recently, so I've been using the Wikipedia version.
I did run into one snag today. I tried uploading a file, filled out a complete non-free rationale, and clicked upload. No error message but no upload. Tried several times before I finally figured out the problem. The company sent me an image with extension .png, but it was really a .jpg. The upload Wizard won't upload it, which is fine, but it didn't tell me that there was a problem, so it was only by accident that I figured it out (I tried deleting the file form my local drive, and it popped up a warning.)
I hope it would be easy to add a warning. If you aren't the creator, do you know who is?-- SPhilbrick (Talk) 21:04, 2 March 2013 (UTC)
Hello there! I have added several more authors now and I just got Katicic views from a friend. I used to have some photocopies from Brixhe and Panayotou's work, but they are long gone and lost after I moved. I was wondering if you have any way to get a snapshot of their contribution somehow? It is still the most quoted work until now and it would be priceless for the article.
I believe we're getting closer having a complete set of sources to make an undisputable and balanced article.
Also, I am wondering if you're involved into any other Ancient languages articles on wikipedia?

Hello. I'm writing to you because you seem to know how to handle people like this. I've been running up against User:Franek K., who is a single-purpose account that has been inserting his Silesian nationalist POV all over various articles touching on the Slavic languages. Most recently this is leading to an edit war of sorts in Slavic languages, where he is going against a consensus of 3 or 4 editors, including a number (me, Volunteer Marek, Joris V) who have been active on a large number of linguistics-related pages. His m.o. is tendentious editing, abuse of the concepts of neutrality/verifiability/original research and consistent personal attacks against people disagreeing with him. It's getting very old but I have no idea how to handle this because I usually work on areas that engender less controversy. Benwing ( talk) 11:58, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Hi Future Perfect, I hope all's been well. I have a question about image use for you, a topic I know you deal with every once in a while because I see people complaining about your deletions here. I have a cache of scanned and downloaded images of papyri on my computer, and I've only ever uploaded images that I've scanned from publications before 1923. But then I see files like this, with the public domain rationale being that the scribe died more than 70 years ago. Does that hold water? I ask because there is an image that I would like to use that originated from the Oxyrhynchus Papyri website (as did the file I just linked), but there is a copyright notice there which reads:
Unless otherwise stated, all digital images of the Oxyrhynchus Papyri are © the Imaging Papyri Project, University of Oxford. The papyri themselves are owned by the Egypt Exploration Society, London. Images of them may be used for teaching and research purposes, but should not be published without the prior consent of the Imaging Papyri Project and the Egypt Exploration Society. Other digital images are © the Imaging Papyri Project, University of Oxford. If you are aware of any inadvertent misattribution or copyright infringement on our part, please tell us without delay.
I'd love your thoughts on this, because I can't tell if the rationale for that one papyrus is just completely disingenuous, or if the Oxyrhynchus Papyri copyright claim is just a claim without grounds. davidiad { t } 18:17, 16 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello. I feel bad that I have immediately been labelled "tendentious" per the statement I made at AN/I following yours. Either way, all that was being typed out while the other noticeboard thread was being created. I know that the material I posted is not the kind of thing sought on that page but there is more to editing than simply assuming "my source is better than his" hence the reason we have agreement, resolution and consensus. To that end, I outlined the entire exchange which tomorrow celebrates one year since making its first appearance. See not only how I am one of three editors to approve a revision contested by one person only inside a year, but that no valid argument has ever been given for an absolute blanking. Redacting/copyediting maybe but blanking, certainly not. Please see the list before concluding who is tendentious and whether Boomerang is necessary [41]. Thank you.

Greetings. Due of our past history, and your habit of not wishing to discuss matters before you act, I felt it necessary to take our issues to the ANI, as you obviously see from above. I just wanted to add that this is not personal in any way. We've never really engaged outside of the SAQ. I just think you have been singling out just one side of the room for bans and other discretionary sanctions, while turning a blind eye to the bullies. As such, I just don't believe you are acting fair. Smatprt ( talk) 23:14, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
It is a generally accepted practice that renewed warnings are not necessary in cases of repeated sanctions for the same type of behaviour. If you've been sanctioned before, you are supposed to be aware of what kinds of behaviour to avoid. You clearly knew that your actions were again being viewed – at least by your opponents – as disruptive. I appreciate that you yourself obviously do not feel they were, just as you evidently did not think so when you were sanctioned last year, nor the year before that. Still, those prior sanctions were imposed and upheld. The question is not whether you knew you were being disruptive; the question is whether you had a reason to think your behaviour now was substantially different from your behaviour back then, prior to to the previous bans. To me, it seems fairly obvious that it was not. Can you honestly claim it was? Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:43, 19 April 2013 (UTC)
Smatprt, as is typical for you, you either failed to comprehend the policies you linked to, or you are trying to misrepresent them to your advantage.
The first guideline you linked to concerns blocks, not bans. IOW, if you violate the topic ban, you will be subject to being blocked. The second guideline you referred to states "Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to the decision authorizing sanctions; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines." Nothing is specified about who should execute that warning, and in fact you were given the required warning by me, exactly nine days before you were again topic-banned.
Hope this helps. Tom Reedy ( talk) 18:32, 20 April 2013 (UTC)

Did you wrote two lies in one sentence? And a threat ofcourse.
This area didn't seem quiet peacefull why I was away.
Your main purpose doesn't seem that it is to keep it quiet. It's propably to keep it near your opinion as you did in Baba mountain], where ecxept of the turn back, you also erased from the encyclopedia, the Greek name of the mountain, like it is only in one country, not considering that it is a mount between two countries. And you didn't see also my question about two articles with same subject Talk:Baba Mountain Varnous. You didn't care about that? What is your concern actually?
And you threat me because I was banned before(!!!??!). Is this has something to add in the conversation? Is it helpful to improove encyclopedia? No. It is just a threat like, "let this area to me and don't even dare to get close". Is this co-operation you suggest?
About "Republic of Macedonia" disambiguation, I explained well, I think. What don't you understand? The only thing remains is to put a reliable source. I am trying to find one in English. Until then, I agree with your turn back. It is just a Macedonian rebel of the Republican party of Greece in 1916 and was called like this by journalists of that era. This is just a fact. I just wanted to add it because it gives the reader a better opportunity when he is seeking something. User:Pyraechmes Chrusts 19:22, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
First of all, is it possible for a mount in the heart of
Macedonia (region) to have a "Macedonian side" and consequently a "non Macedonian side"? You mean the Macedonian side of Greece or the Macedonian side of "Republic of Macedonia"?
About the "Republic of Macedonia" disambiguation, I explained it in the page I created. If that wasn't enough I am willing to answer more questions. But, I think everyone understood what exactly the disambiguation was?
You are right when you say that you didn't find evidence (at least in English) for the Republic of macedonia that established in 1916. I couldn't find my self either. Don't be prejudiced because no other said this before. Greeks don't know history at all. And also, it is impossible for a Greek (even an academic) to search the newspapers of that era. Because most of them, just don't care.
For the Varnous or Varnoundas mountain, I didn't make a search first. And i didn't see the other article Varnous. I saw it later. I will unite them sometime when I have more time. But, that is not a reason not to mention the Greek name at all. Although, I know that Skopjans call it more often with the second Greek name Pelister (Greek Peristeri), as I have visited Monastiri (Bitola) many times. Baba name is a Turkish name. Skopjans adopted it because thay didn't want to adopt a Greek name for the mountain. But the local people still call it Peristeri/Pelister (in both countries).
For all the rest you are right.

I fail to see how your flagging the uploaded image of Elizabeth Colbert Busch fails a fair use. It is the PR campaign photo from her campaign site, being used in the article about her. Lestatdelc ( talk) 22:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Hey Future Perfect at Sunrise :). Just a note that the Article Feedback Tool, Version 5 has now been re-enabled. Let us know on the talkpage if you spot any bugs. Thanks! Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 00:50, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
I had stated a new section on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:K._P._Yohannan by the heading Cleaning up the controversy section. If I am violating any norms please let me know and remove the section. Benedictdilton ( talk) 20:04, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
Can you provide me a reason why that file has deleted? that was a fair use. I had provided the statement that the owner don't have any problem and the image was deleted without a notice > > ??????????
Thank you for leaving comments at my RfA. This is just a friendly notice that I have replied to them. Regardless of your vote, and your decision to continue this conversation or not, I appreciate you taking your time to vote in the the first place.

I welcome reviews of references and collaboration towards perfection - that is what Wikipedia is about. Your dyspepsia related to this page is, however, a disservice. And, quite the contrary, Fut Per at Sunrise, I have worked very hard to incorporate diverse references pertinent to the global clinical conversation in various aspects, as well as an inter-disciplinary approach. Human development is my area of academic study, involving a full range of science & arts. Though not a programmer, my Wikipedia scholarship offerings are solid.
My agenda is to build a page where theoretical and visual education provide current sources, encourage more research, and serve as a community education resource.
Your accusation of tenditious is perhaps more a reflection of your personal opinion of the topic, as my references are quality. I have contributed to Wikipedia for over 6 years, and even been awarded for my contributions, despite my lack of advanced technical skills which involve many edits per session and difficulties at times with image uploading. -- KellyPhD ( talk) 06:49, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
P.S. I saw the stub you made - wow, kind of ugly, after all that good work. Hope the review proves expedient and helpful.
Though Lotus Birth is an area of particular personal scholarship, I have also contributed to many other pages: Asana, Guru, Shakti, Rishi, Yogi, Yogini, Doula, Home Birth, Midwifery, etc. For several years I also helped protect pages from blatantly illegal, profit-oriented linkage and marketing verbage that continually crops up on the Cord Blood Bank related pages.
You may be an editor, and you are obviously more technically advanced than I, but your dyspepsia is not conducive to community or collaboration. The lotus birth page has received very little help until now, when you notice I've added a ton of stuff due to the current mass media surge on the topic. Rather than contribute, or question, you make it a stub? This isn't just about the topic, it's about an emotional reaction to the topic and/or the visuals, obviously. -- KellyPhD ( talk) 07:00, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
So, I just looked at your page and saw that you are a real Admin. Would you please inform as to whether my references are being reviewed at all, as was suggested in your original post? The reverted version, contains much less current data, so the page now lacks several pertinent current evidence-based journal citations, journalist article links, and inter-disciplinary sources. I am not a Wikipedia technical expert, but I do contribute sound references. -- KellyPhD ( talk) 07:34, 26 April 2013 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lotus birth, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Umbilicus ( 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.

Your position requires practicing objectivity, which in turn particularly applies to refraining from personal attacks. I trust your comment @ Piotrus' RfA "2" was not meant for me. As far as I can tell from the proceedings, apparently, to support is to conspire, to oppose is to protect WP. Please keep your future comments limited to the RfA candidate. There are dozens of editors supporting Piotrus having nothing to do with "coteries". VєсrumЬа ► TALK 13:46, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Would you mind closing this discussion and protecting William Shakespeare's life, which seems to be attracting a lot of IP vandalism? Thanks. Tom Reedy ( talk) 20:56, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi. This time disrupting the Mors Martell SPI case and trolling on Dougweller's talk page as Icelandic cuisine ( talk + · tag · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log · CA · CheckUser( log) · investigate · cuwiki). Please could you block their account. Also please could somebody block the 10 or more sock accounts of Echigo mole identified at the SPI page? Thanks in advance, Mathsci ( talk) 17:26, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for blocking four more of the socks. Echigo mole has started trolling on his own SPI report page (his silly game of making a new SPI/CU on two named accounts who are obviously nor him, together with a a variety of anonymous IPs) using Nutritious nut the last of the following set of accounts already confirmed by checkuser as him:
Please could you block these accounts? Thanks in advance. Mathsci ( talk) 22:17, 20 April 2013 (UTC)
Hello, FP, in lingustics, what is the name of the phenomenon of "strengthening" words/phrases which have become so phonologically reduced that they're ambiguous or hard to hear? e.g. French aujourd'hui 'on the day of today' for hui /ɥi/ (< presumably from Latin hodie 'this day'), or "est-ce que c'est" /eskəse/ 'is it that it is' for "est-ce" /es/ 'is it'. Thanks. -- Macrakis ( talk) 19:38, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
I haven't been editing for several months because of being busy. I clearly posted this on my talk page. Now I'm getting harassing and insulting emails from somebody in the MMA project, LlamaAl (jamilfutbol@yahoo.es). I can't figure out how to report it so an admin can do something about it. Can you help me out? Willdawg111 ( talk) 08:59, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
Instead of requesting that a non-free image be deleted on the grounds that a free replacement exists, why don't you just upload the free replacement? DavidBrooksPokorny ( talk) 15:32, 12 May 2013 (UTC)
