Thanks for uploading File:Jgp.gif and File:Jcbcover.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) 07:05, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Kindly don't censor; it's an opinion, and should be given whatever weight is appropriate. Doing so without precedent calls your neutrality into question, and ultimately, your judgement and whether you should recuse as an Abitrator as exhibiting undue bias against a legitimate defence.

I think the disagreement between you and Elen/Jclemens is one of interpretation of statistics :-) You're saying that something like a Springer encyclopedia (and a peer-reviewed journal) is WP:RS on average. What they are saying is that given the dispute at hand, they won't venture a guess as whether a particular paper is WP:RS or not, regardless where it was published. I left a longer comment on proposed decision talk page on the latter issue. There is probably a way to capture both points (you and Elen/Jclemens being both right about different things) into the decision. Tijfo098 ( talk) 16:37, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

E-mailed with a bit of what I've been working on. Djembayz ( talk) 23:31, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
I recently had an issue with another user who made a defamatory accusation. "Nazi apologist" was the specific terminology. Considering the number of times I've expressed hatred of the Nazis, and an exceptionally deep knowledge of exactly how evil the Germans were (I reject the nonsense that most of them "didn't know" or that the Wehrmacht were somehow relative "good guys."), this is absolutely unfounded. I also have anti Nazi activities that I can link here to prove my political position.
What can be done about this?

If there are genuine concerns regarding close paraphrasing that could be problematic (and I've checked and I've asked User:Hawkeye7 to verify already [where he found none]) and help resolve the issue of whether or not I actually did it as relevant to the Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Racepacket 2 and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Racepacket 2, I am more than happy to ask User:Hawkeye7 to scan and e-mail the relevant pages to you. (I'm not at home at the moment so I do not have access to the exact text myself.) Most of the sources are available on Google Books. I think there are only two books in question. I'd like to get that issue out of the way because it is annoying. I've already had one person verify it. No one has found any inappropiate paraphrasing with the publicly available texts and I'm rather annoyed that the accusation continues to be repeated with out anything to back it up. -- LauraHale ( talk) 21:21, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, John. While I appreciate the thought behind this edit, I'm afraid it doesn't work right. On articles where templates that use {{ Image label begin}} are transcluded, the view/talk/edit links use the article's BASEPAGENAME, not the template's.
Example: If I have a Template:Foo17 that uses the image label templates, and I transclude Template:Foo17 on the page Bar27, the links will go to Template:Bar27, Template talk:Bar27, and so on.
I didn't want to just revert your change, but it does need to either be removed or corrected. Thanks!

Hi the journal is fine but specific article is a translation into English of 1922 article (and not meant to be used as an academic source but rather as a study on Kasravi). [4]. The particular user Ebrahimi-Amir was aware of this as well since he made the same discussion in Persian Wikipedia and did the same editing with regards to numbers there until he was warned by admins. The 1922 article (English translation by Evan Siegel) might be useful on an article on Kasravi himself, but read the impression of Prof. Siegel which I have put in the discussion page. The other user was simply meatpuppetting based on this [5]. I already discussed the source once in the talkpage and none of the users who kept putting unsupportable numbers used the disucssion page..

I am concerned by your edit here. Of course it's fixable, but it is also unsourced and a WP:BLP which the community agreed over a year ago was no longer acceptable. Next time, by all means remove the speedy tag, or a standard WP:PROD, add as many cleanup tags as you want, but don't remove the WP:BLPPROD unless you are willing and able to supply a reference.

Thanks for uploading File:Andes U.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:37, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

I wrote to you as a concerned parent. My child has been harrassed by a user who has done this to others for several years. My child warned me that I would run up against deaf ears.
Sure enough, your administrator show that they lack the ethics to be an admministrator. They wipe out the complaint and ban me. They even remove my messages to a Wikimedia employee.
I hope you stand up against this really unethical behavior and bad service. This is the incivility that you wrote about in the Wall Street Journal several months ago.

Hi, in this edit, you include the logo for the 2009 version of the game in an article about the 2011 version of the game, using an edit summary that suggests that you rolled back the edit. Clearly, the removal of that logo is not vandalism, as firstly, the logo is plainly wrong (for more info, see this), secondly, the non-free logo did not have a fair-use rationale, something that is required per our WP:NFCC policy. As you claim here that Delta should do his research better, may I also ask you to properly check whether the edit that you are reverting results in a correct page, and not to use rollback when reverting edits which are not vandalism.

John, with all respect and collegiality, I really think you need to slow down and reassess what you are doing. I've been reviewing your edits over time with respect to non-free imageas and I am seeing a considerable number of errors. I'm not trying to find fault with you, but rather get an understanding of your experience level and knowledge with respect to NFCC issues. Also, I am not here to berate you about your behavior towards Δ.
As the most recent example (I see examples dating back to 2007), you reinstated File:JHudson-AndIAmTellingYou-2006.ogg to Dreamgirls (film) with this edit, and subsequently modified the file's description page to add "soundtrack for Dreamgirls (film)." ( [7]). WP:NFCC #10c requires a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item. Yet, on the image description page of this file, there's a generic non-free rationale that is not targeted towards any article, much less to Dreamgirls (film). As is, the image should be removed from all three instances in which it is used as there is no separate, specific non-free use rationale at all.
I am not accusing you of anything; I am merely pointing out, using this example, what appears to be a significant lack of understanding of our NFCC policy, NFC guideline, and common practices (as discussed). In looking at the edit history of WT:NFC, prior to today's editions I've not been able to find any edits by you to that page over the last 10,000 edits, and that takes us back over three years. NFCC policy, compliance, and enforcement is a highly complex environment. A huge number of editors have undertaken efforts to attempt to streamline things, explain things, make it easier, etc. Believe me, we've tried. Wikipedia:Fixing non-free image problems is the most recent example. But, it's not helping either, as I expected (posted elsewhere I thought it wouldn't help, but worth trying).
I encourage you to take a breath, step back, and re-evaluate what it is you are doing with respect to this issue. You are a newcomer to it. I understand it looks well out of whack, highly distorted, and nonsensical. That's the reality of the NFCC world here. We try and try and try to make it less so, but despite years of effort by probably hundreds of editors, we've not made much headway in making this any easier. Going after Δ isn't the way through this. If you have concerns about NFCC enforcement, then by all means please post them to WT:NFC and we'll explain them to you and/or gladly listen to your suggestions. A fresh voice is always welcome.

Thank you for uploading File:Sharpville-massacre.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

I can't believe you guys are voting with out even knowing what the current situation is, let alone the background issues. As demonstrated by the fact that Elen seems to believe that Sydney Bluegum is topic banned from the article space and no-one has corrected this miss-assumption. Sydney Bluegum was never topic banned, which is stated on the main case page. What have you guys read? In proposed remedies section article and subject scope, the feeling that I have been unhelpful just shows how much you guys are not aware of. I have offered valid suggestions of different titles, I found the references and quotes for alternative title suggested here 65-75 entries (except for arborsculpture Slowart did that) please note pooktre is not listed. I even suggested tree shaping article to be merge with pleaching on the workshop page. I know you guys are busy but if you are voting at the very least you should read the different pages that are part of the arbitration. The workshop page shows that some of the editors not listed in the proposal decision are behaving badly or clearly advocating for arborsculpture. Please take the time to read the pages pertaining to this case. I've post this on all the listed admins' talk pages as it seems some of the pages of this arbitration are not being read I'm not sure that you would see this otherwise.

If you are a potential arbitrator on the matter, it might best that you don't take a look at the request for assistance I recieved at User_talk:Geofferybard#Please.2C_take_a_look but perhaps you can make a referal; alternatively, I would be grateful if you could take a look at what I was presented with and suggest how this issue should be dealt with.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "

Thanks for uploading File:Jgp.gif and File:Jcbcover.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.

I think the disagreement between you and Elen/Jclemens is one of interpretation of statistics :-) You're saying that something like a Springer encyclopedia (and a peer-reviewed journal) is WP:RS on average. What they are saying is that given the dispute at hand, they won't venture a guess as whether a particular paper is WP:RS or not, regardless where it was published. I left a longer comment on proposed decision talk page on the latter issue.

I recently had an issue with another user who made a defamatory accusation. "Nazi apologist" was the specific terminology. Considering the number of times I've expressed hatred of the Nazis, and an exceptionally deep knowledge of exactly how evil the Germans were (I reject the nonsense that most of them "didn't know" or that the Wehrmacht were somehow relative "good guys."), this is absolutely unfounded. I also have anti Nazi activities that I can link here to prove my political position.

If there are genuine concerns regarding close paraphrasing that could be problematic (and I've checked and I've asked User:Hawkeye7 to verify already [where he found none]) and help resolve the issue of whether or not I actually did it as relevant to the Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Racepacket 2 and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Racepacket 2, I am more than happy to ask User:Hawkeye7 to scan and e-mail the relevant pages to you. (I'm not at home at the moment so I do not have access to the exact text myself.) Most of the sources are available on Google Books. I think there are only two books in question. I'd like to get that issue out of the way because it is annoying. I've already had one person verify it. No one has found any inappropiate paraphrasing with the publicly available texts and I'm rather annoyed that the accusation continues to be repeated with out anything to back it up. -- LauraHale ( talk) 21:21, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, John. While I appreciate the thought behind this edit, I'm afraid it doesn't work right. On articles where templates that use {{ Image label begin}} are transcluded, the view/talk/edit links use the article's BASEPAGENAME, not the template's.
Example: If I have a Template:Foo17 that uses the image label templates, and I transclude Template:Foo17 on the page Bar27, the links will go to Template:Bar27, Template talk:Bar27, and so on.

Hi the journal is fine but specific article is a translation into English of 1922 article (and not meant to be used as an academic source but rather as a study on Kasravi). [4]. The particular user Ebrahimi-Amir was aware of this as well since he made the same discussion in Persian Wikipedia and did the same editing with regards to numbers there until he was warned by admins. The 1922 article (English translation by Evan Siegel) might be useful on an article on Kasravi himself, but read the impression of Prof. Siegel which I have put in the discussion page. The other user was simply meatpuppetting based on this [5]. I already discussed the source once in the talkpage and none of the users who kept putting unsupportable numbers used the disucssion page..

I am concerned by your edit here. Of course it's fixable, but it is also unsourced and a WP:BLP which the community agreed over a year ago was no longer acceptable. Next time, by all means remove the speedy tag, or a standard WP:PROD, add as many cleanup tags as you want, but don't remove the WP:BLPPROD unless you are willing and able to supply a reference. Arbs should know better. The-Pope ( talk) 15:56, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:Andes U.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Courcelles 03:37, 7 May 2011 (UTC)

Sure enough, your administrator show that they lack the ethics to be an admministrator. They wipe out the complaint and ban me. They even remove my messages to a Wikimedia employee.
I hope you stand up against this really unethical behavior and bad service. This is the incivility that you wrote about in the Wall Street Journal several months ago.

Hi, in this edit, you include the logo for the 2009 version of the game in an article about the 2011 version of the game, using an edit summary that suggests that you rolled back the edit. Clearly, the removal of that logo is not vandalism, as firstly, the logo is plainly wrong (for more info, see this), secondly, the non-free logo did not have a fair-use rationale, something that is required per our WP:NFCC policy. As you claim here that Delta should do his research better, may I also ask you to properly check whether the edit that you are reverting results in a correct page, and not to use rollback when reverting edits which are not vandalism. Thank you. -- Dirk Beetstra T C 13:27, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

John, with all respect and collegiality, I really think you need to slow down and reassess what you are doing. I've been reviewing your edits over time with respect to non-free imageas and I am seeing a considerable number of errors. I'm not trying to find fault with you, but rather get an understanding of your experience level and knowledge with respect to NFCC issues. Also, I am not here to berate you about your behavior towards Δ.
As the most recent example (I see examples dating back to 2007), you reinstated File:JHudson-AndIAmTellingYou-2006.ogg to Dreamgirls (film) with this edit, and subsequently modified the file's description page to add "soundtrack for Dreamgirls (film)." ( [7]). WP:NFCC #10c requires a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item. Yet, on the image description page of this file, there's a generic non-free rationale that is not targeted towards any article, much less to Dreamgirls (film). As is, the image should be removed from all three instances in which it is used as there is no separate, specific non-free use rationale at all.
I am not accusing you of anything; I am merely pointing out, using this example, what appears to be a significant lack of understanding of our NFCC policy, NFC guideline, and common practices (as discussed). In looking at the edit history of WT:NFC, prior to today's editions I've not been able to find any edits by you to that page over the last 10,000 edits, and that takes us back over three years. NFCC policy, compliance, and enforcement is a highly complex environment. A huge number of editors have undertaken efforts to attempt to streamline things, explain things, make it easier, etc. Believe me, we've tried. Wikipedia:Fixing non-free image problems is the most recent example. But, it's not helping either, as I expected (posted elsewhere I thought it wouldn't help, but worth trying).
I encourage you to take a breath, step back, and re-evaluate what it is you are doing with respect to this issue. You are a newcomer to it. I understand it looks well out of whack, highly distorted, and nonsensical. That's the reality of the NFCC world here. We try and try and try to make it less so, but despite years of effort by probably hundreds of editors, we've not made much headway in making this any easier. Going after Δ isn't the way through this. If you have concerns about NFCC enforcement, then by all means please post them to WT:NFC and we'll explain them to you and/or gladly listen to your suggestions. A fresh voice is always welcome.

I am absolutely aghast at the way the AFL zealots on Wikipedia are renaming every page that has anything to do with Association football in Australia with the word "soccer'> The term is not official and is not the name of the code. It is an insult. And the results such as at Song Jin-Hyung are farcical where the cats make it look as though he plays two sports. Is there any way this can be rolled back.

Thank you so much for the extremely thoughtful and helpful welcome. I really appreciated it. PurpleMint ( talk) 08:25, 28 July 2011 (UTC) |
Five votes to close, none opposed, and you add a new finding of fact? Not cool.-- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:19, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

The hold on editing has been taken off without explanation, to my knowledge, as of this moment, without justification.

The one who took this off the edit hold did so without reading the talk page.

This is about Haplogroup J1c3d (Y-DNA)? I think you should talk to the fine folk at Wikipedia:WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology and Wikipedia:WikiProject Evolutionary biology. -- John Vandenberg ( chat) 01:35, 3 August 2011 (UTC)
[14] Now there's a change to my user page I don't remember asking for. Not even sure where on Wikipedia I've mentioned which city I live in. -- Richmeister talk 16:58, 3 August 2011 (UTC)

On 12 August 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Amanda Fraser, which you recently nominated. The fact was ... that three-time Paralympian Amanda Fraser (pictured) has won medals in both athletics and swimming? If you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Thanks for adding this article. DYK needs you. Victuallers ( talk) 08:03, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to
File:Integrative and Comparative Biology 46 6.gif. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under
non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to
the file description page, and edit it to include a
non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "
my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a
request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

You may remember a recent Arbcom decision in which editors were requested to agree on an appropriate name for the article currently at Tree shaping. There has been a careful discussion on the subject, followed by an RfM which was hastily closed as 'No action' by involved administrator SilkTork. Was this what was envisaged by Arbcom? Perhaps you could take a look and give your opinion. Martin Hogbin ( talk) 22:43, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Please see this discussion. I believe your recent action at the BLP case evidence page is out of order, out of process or out of something else. I don't disagree with the aim, but the method seems strictly against basic principles that the rest of us have to abide by at Wikipedia. Cheers. Griswaldo ( talk) 12:48, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear John Vandenberg. Can you please remove the following unsubstantiated claims from User:Prioryman's evidence at the Cirt-Jayen case evidence page? The last two bullet points are what concern me. They make several claims about Jayen's motivations without providing any diffs, links or other evidence. For reference:
Here is the link [15]. Thank you for your concern with keeping the evidence page clean of unsubstantiated claims that could be construed as personal attacks. Cheers. Griswaldo ( talk) 20:34, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
FYI, I should have asked Hersfold this and I came here out of frustration with how certain things are being handled (not frustration with Hersfold). I apologize for that. I'm going to back away for a while as I notice my levels of frustration rising and its not good for anyone. Cheers. Griswaldo ( talk) 21:18, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot for suggesting me to Siska for the Lontar Foundation program; it appears to be a good learning experience and will assist Wikipedia quite a bit. Crisco 1492 ( talk) 01:40, 20 August 2011 (UTC) |
I can't seem to figure out why my delsort tool is not working for me anymore. I currently work in Firefox, can you help me out? Eagles 24/7 (C) 05:26, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
