I have received no complaints from wikipedia administrators about my added photos in the List of The Sword of Truth characters characters. Apparently they were accepted because they are promotional pics, in low-resolution, cited, and followed all copyright guidelines when it comes to those types of photos. When I do get complaints from them personally, I will remove the photos myself and revert it to the last version. But for now, please don't touch the page while I contact the admin.

I am trying to extract the Uni1F600Emoticons (TrueType) font from U1F600 Emoticons.pdf (which is the decrypted version of the original Unicode chart U1F600). But FontForge abruptly shuts down the moment I select Uni1F600Emoticons font. While I can extract majority of the embedded fonts, there are some fonts like this one that FontForge fails to extract. I've installed all the dependencies of FontForge. See if you can extract the font, and if you can just send me the font. Is something wrong with FontForge or is it my installation?

A tag has been placed on File:Flag of the United Kingdom of Fiji 1871-1874.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your accusations of vandalism towards us are completely inappropriate.

22:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)The dick who is editing with policy is also editing out of policy, by being arrogant, lazy and fucking up the functionality of the Image Workshop. His worrying obsession with NFCC#9 is his excuse for being a twat. he is deliberately making the workshop non-functional. For the IW to work properly we have to be able to either see or be able to link to the image being requested. Now Mr Dick esq comes along, deletes both the image and the link making the request impossible to deal with unless we go looking for an invisible comment hidden in the source code of the request. In spite of being told of 2 methods of maintaining NFCC#9 compliance and maintaining IW functionality Hammersoft refuses to use them. One of the methods only involves putting a colon at the front of the link. But will Hammersoft do this? No, he has refused point blank. This I firmly definitely and firmly puts him in the "dick" category. His arrogance, his laziness, his Borg-like obsession with NFCC#9 and his truculence are disrupting a valuable resource with WP for no purpose. I would be grateful if you could copy and paste this as a response to his accusations at the incident board. Especially now you've effectively stopped me posting there. This is not an unblock request as I don't care one way or another, it's WP's loss if I can't sort out image requests for 24hrs, it's not my loss. This is a request though that Hammersoft either stays away from the IW or that he implements the methods we've informed him of. -- The Pink Oboe ( talk) 22:56, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
This was not a personal attack on anyone. Jimbo asked "what ever that means" about a comment I had made previously. I attempted to clear it up. Additionally, since when has describing someone's job a blocking offence? Now I realise you want to get in on the action, and blocks like this are invariably committed by a Johnny-come-lately admin, but I have done nothing wrong other than to apply some clarity about something I'd said earlier.
Decline reason:
This clearly a good block based on your recent personal attacks, as well as other disruptive and inappropriate behavior of late. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 18:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
Personal attacks, in the plural? I have not attacked anyone. I've responded in kind to attacks I received. As I said above neither I not the other editor wish to complain and neither of us have been offended by the comments. So please make it clear which 'attacks' am I alleged to have made? I called Jimbo a programmer and a money manager, are those descriptions now considered to be so heinous that a block is required? So please explain to me where this "history of attacks" is supposed to be?
48hrs for describing someone's job? Are you fucking joking? It's no wonder this project is circling the bowl.
Decline reason:

So let me get this straight? I have been blocked for 48hrs because I called Jimbo a programmer and a money manager. Is that correct? You seriously have to be taking the piss? If this isn't the worst of the wordt bad blocks I can't think of one. Calling him a cunt I can see, but a money manager?
Accept reason:
OK, I think 4 hrs is about right for calling Jimbo a programmer.

It's been "inappropriate" for two years, and do you know what, until now no-one has ever complained about it. The ones who understood the old reference merely giggled about it.

Request reason:
What for using an analogy about someone farting. Or about someone using hyperbole? About someone shit-stirring? Oh yeah, they are heinous crimes. Enough for an indef? These are some strange notions you people have. Or is it that the word came down from on high via the back channels to scuttle me? I haven't attacked anyone, simple as that. I've had a few digs yes, but out and out attacks? No way. This is a stitch-up, no other word for it.
I should be a tad calmer in a week or so, once I've got my laptop repaired and I'm no longer pissed at the dogs, so how about commuting it to a week? If you wish me to change my username I will, how about Fred Shit as a suggestion? Prove that I'm Webhamster or take it out of the equation as blocking for a suspicion is very bad and suspect adminship. How would you like it if that behaviour became the law of the land?
Decline reason:
A little known fact about the blocking system is that it accepts multiple values for the block duration. You can be blocked with duration set to "Infinite", if there is no possibility that you will ever be unblocked. Instead, you've been blocked with duration set to "Indefinite", which means there is no set expiration - but that you can be unblocked if you show that you will not continue acting as you have been. So take your week, get your laptop repaired, calm down, have a cup of coffee, and relax. Then, without flipping out on admins or anyone else, show us that you can edit without throwing accusations and incivility everywhere. That's step one. Until you can do that, no one is going to listen to you, and no one is going to unblock you. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:09, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I've never understood the purpose of an indefinite block (or ban for that matter). If a user wants to keep editing then they merely create a new account, or have one ready for when the axe drops. And even if they get caught socking, again, what's the worst they can do? Oh yes, an indef. So my question is, why bother? Is a real bone fide adult going to be worried by time on the time-out chair? Is it a threat that works? I rather doubt it, so again why bother? the problem with political correctness is that it takes away all your ammunition. So again, why bother? As I said, I've never understood why. I also find the dichotomy amusing that the powers-that-be are worried about productive volunteers leaving in droves and not having enough replacements, yet simultaneously deliberately driving away productive editors because they have a few digs involving fart gags. A very strange methodology. My "civility" maybe suspect but you can't fault my productivity, both here and on commons. -- The Pink Oboe ( talk) 20:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
TPO: I was slightly tempted to unblock (and probably lose my admin bit), not because the block was unreasonable, but because Hochman's arrogant "Do not unblock without consulting me, or WP:ANI for a thorough discussion and consensus" bullshit really gets my goat. However, I just can't: in spite of the fact that there are some red herrings in the block rationale, the fact is, you've been acting in a way that is pretty much guaranteed to get you blocked, and so over the top that an unblock is simply not possible right now. I think UltraExactZZ is spot on here. I know I would recommend that much more than trying to outplay whack-a-sock with the admin corps.
POD: As far as warning and blocking Jimbo: I won't warn Jimbo, or block him, because it would not stick, would probably lose me my admin bit, and would make me look like an impotent fool. Of course Jimbo was disruptive and acted improperly, of course there will be no consequences. Those are the benefits of status, in every single on- and off-line society I have ever seen. If an artist calls a duke a fool, and the duke smacks him in the head, the artist gets put in jail. If a duke calls an artist a fool and the artist smacks him in the head, the artist still gets put in jail. I cannot change that. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 20:51, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

Why does the user name "The Pink Oboe" warrant a block ?
The Pink Oboe edits a lot about Pink Floyd.

Kiefer. Wolfowitz 22:10, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Mongo might like to know that he is indeed correct. The difference in time between my genuine very first edit and Webhamster's first edit was about 3 years. I started as an IP editor with a static IP, then changed ISPs where I had a dynamic IP, then came back to the original ISP and managed to get my old IP back as it hadn't been re-allocated and I've stayed with that IP ever since. I'm not going to give out my IP in public, but if a checkuser wants to check the IP I'm on right now with the very first edit of that IP address you'll find it was sometime in 2003 that I started editing here, and it was on the Goon Show article strangely enough.
Oh, whilst I'm here I'll ask a question. I need an account here now. Only want it for one purpose and one purpose only. I'm quite happy to be monitored, to agree to not edit any article other than for the one purpose. I'll promise to never edit anything in any of the non-article spaces (except my own talkpage of course). I'm quite happy to agree to whatever you like so long as I can fulfil the purpose. All I need the account for is the post processing of images/illustrations I upload at commons. For example I'm currently going through the US Army brigade shoulder sleeve insignias (a similar edit to the one Denis Bloodnok was copped for). Once the image is uploaded at commons it needs to be added (or swapped) to the appropriate article on WP. Now I could quite easily do it as a sock but sooner or later I would be caught and that's just a general waste of time for everyone. I could also get someone else to do it for me but that has problems of its own, not least of which is getting hold of someone to do it for me.
So do we have any suggestions? How about WebHamster making a comeback? -- The Pink Oboe ( talk) 02:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
TPO has identified himself as having suffered a stroke.
Some strokes result in conditions like Tourette's syndrome, some versions of which have involuntary swearing as well as facial or hand tics (e.g., "flipping the bird"). In such cases we should, besides the usual WP:AGF and good-willed tolerance of different linguistic sensibilities, be understanding of unusually colorful language ....
There but for fortune, Kiefer. Wolfowitz 08:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Contrarily, profanity is not the issue here, but abusing other editors is. WP:NOTCENSORED arguments aside, there is no reason we should tolerate repeated, unrepentant abuse toward other editors, and allowing exceptions for "I can't help it" is a road we are not going down. causa sui ( talk) 20:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Couldn't help but notice and comment on this discussion. Tourette's is a neurological condition that, when manifesting itself in a verbal manner, doesn't carry-over to written expression. The neurological mechanics that allow for written expression take place in a different part of the brain than verbal expression - the two are not intertwined. For anyone to excuse someone who has had a stroke as having "Tourette's" is wrong to begin with. To further excuse uncivil Wikipedia behavior by saying Tourette's is affecting the editor's ability to properly communicate in writing is plain ridiculous. Lhb1239 ( talk) 20:40, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
@Wolfowitz: You bring up the non sequitur of Tourette's as if it has some relevance to this discussion and then launch an ad hominem attack on me for "posturing" because I correctly pointed out Tourette's is irrelevant here? That's pretty funny stuff. Is there a cover charge or drink minimum for your stand up routine? Lhb1239 ( talk) 02:56, 18 November 2011 (UTC)

Unless you want to file a reasonably-worded unblock request here, your continuing to edit this page appears to have no realistic purpose, other than creating drama.

A tag has been placed on File:Flag of the United Kingdom of Fiji 1871-1874.svg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}
) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the
the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Your accusations of vandalism towards us are completely inappropriate. In all articles relating to this band they are referred to as an "English (progressive) rock band", see e.g. the FEATURED ARTICLE The Dark Side of the Moon. Now one editor is trying to change some of these references to "British". He is the vandal, not us. Regards. 81.83.139.130 ( talk) 17:17, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I'm afraid I don't know a raster from a vector, and am not sure where to pop the request. I would welcome your assistance and give permission for you to edit my text as you see fit if you'd like to move it to the right place. It's the page 6 diagram of the station for the request I've made, the one with all the modules.
A separate smaller job, a piechart the same as you referred to, and an identical chart made from the information on page 9 of this document would be further down on my wishlist.
It's the diagram showing what the station will look like in 4 years that will last a long time and have the most application, and do the most good. Penyulap talk 02:39, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Regardless of that, I will be quite blunt, though. If there are any more examples of you knowingly violating the NFCC#9 policy and/or any more violations of civility such as those given at the WP:ANI discussion you will be blocked.

22:36, 12 October 2011 (UTC)The dick who is editing with policy is also editing out of policy, by being arrogant, lazy and fucking up the functionality of the Image Workshop. His worrying obsession with NFCC#9 is his excuse for being a twat. he is deliberately making the workshop non-functional. For the IW to work properly we have to be able to either see or be able to link to the image being requested. Now Mr Dick esq comes along, deletes both the image and the link making the request impossible to deal with unless we go looking for an invisible comment hidden in the source code of the request. In spite of being told of 2 methods of maintaining NFCC#9 compliance and maintaining IW functionality Hammersoft refuses to use them. One of the methods only involves putting a colon at the front of the link. But will Hammersoft do this? No, he has refused point blank. This I firmly definitely and firmly puts him in the "dick" category. His arrogance, his laziness, his Borg-like obsession with NFCC#9 and his truculence are disrupting a valuable resource with WP for no purpose. I would be grateful if you could copy and paste this as a response to his accusations at the incident board. Especially now you've effectively stopped me posting there. This is not an unblock request as I don't care one way or another, it's WP's loss if I can't sort out image requests for 24hrs, it's not my loss. This is a request though that Hammersoft either stays away from the IW or that he implements the methods we've informed him of. -- The Pink Oboe ( talk) 22:56, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
This was not a personal attack on anyone. Jimbo asked "what ever that means" about a comment I had made previously. I attempted to clear it up. Additionally, since when has describing someone's job a blocking offence? Now I realise you want to get in on the action, and blocks like this are invariably committed by a Johnny-come-lately admin, but I have done nothing wrong other than to apply some clarity about something I'd said earlier.
Decline reason:
This clearly a good block based on your recent personal attacks, as well as other disruptive and inappropriate behavior of late. -- Ed ( Edgar181) 18:22, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Request reason:
Personal attacks, in the plural? I have not attacked anyone. I've responded in kind to attacks I received. As I said above neither I not the other editor wish to complain and neither of us have been offended by the comments. So please make it clear which 'attacks' am I alleged to have made? I called Jimbo a programmer and a money manager, are those descriptions now considered to be so heinous that a block is required? So please explain to me where this "history of attacks" is supposed to be?
48hrs for describing someone's job? Are you fucking joking? It's no wonder this project is circling the bowl.
Decline reason:
You need to tone things down and accept that comments like this [5] are provoking and unhelpful when others have already questioned similar comments.

Request reason:
So let me get this straight? I have been blocked for 48hrs because I called Jimbo a programmer and a money manager. Is that correct? You seriously have to be taking the piss? If this isn't the worst of the wordt bad blocks I can't think of one. Calling him a cunt I can see, but a money manager?
Accept reason:
OK, I think 4 hrs is about right for calling Jimbo a programmer. The evidence from Steve Schulz's talkpage suggests that telling someone to go procreate can be meant humorously (unless I suppose you are a nun), but please try to avoid doing it again until Friday.

Request reason:
Oh yeah this is a righteous indef by a drive-by admin, yeah right. No proof I am who you say I am. Checkuser was requested yesterday and declined as there was little evidence. You're supposed to block AFTER the proof has arrived, unless of course this is some power play thing. My username? Inappropriate? It's been "inappropriate" for two years, and do you know what, until now no-one has ever complained about it. The ones who understood the old reference merely giggled about it. So all in all this is a right-royal stitch up. Indef my arse.

Request reason:
What for using an analogy about someone farting. Or about someone using hyperbole? About someone shit-stirring? Oh yeah, they are heinous crimes. Enough for an indef? These are some strange notions you people have. Or is it that the word came down from on high via the back channels to scuttle me? I haven't attacked anyone, simple as that. I've had a few digs yes, but out and out attacks? No way. This is a stitch-up, no other word for it.
I should be a tad calmer in a week or so, once I've got my laptop repaired and I'm no longer pissed at the dogs, so how about commuting it to a week? If you wish me to change my username I will, how about Fred Shit as a suggestion? Prove that I'm Webhamster or take it out of the equation as blocking for a suspicion is very bad and suspect adminship. How would you like it if that behaviour became the law of the land?
Decline reason:
A little known fact about the blocking system is that it accepts multiple values for the block duration. You can be blocked with duration set to "Infinite", if there is no possibility that you will ever be unblocked. Instead, you've been blocked with duration set to "Indefinite", which means there is no set expiration - but that you can be unblocked if you show that you will not continue acting as you have been. So take your week, get your laptop repaired, calm down, have a cup of coffee, and relax. Then, without flipping out on admins or anyone else, show us that you can edit without throwing accusations and incivility everywhere. That's step one. Until you can do that, no one is going to listen to you, and no one is going to unblock you. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:09, 16 November 2011 (UTC)

I've never understood the purpose of an indefinite block (or ban for that matter). If a user wants to keep editing then they merely create a new account, or have one ready for when the axe drops. And even if they get caught socking, again, what's the worst they can do? Oh yes, an indef. So my question is, why bother? Is a real bone fide adult going to be worried by time on the time-out chair? Is it a threat that works? I rather doubt it, so again why bother? the problem with political correctness is that it takes away all your ammunition. So again, why bother? As I said, I've never understood why. I also find the dichotomy amusing that the powers-that-be are worried about productive volunteers leaving in droves and not having enough replacements, yet simultaneously deliberately driving away productive editors because they have a few digs involving fart gags. A very strange methodology. My "civility" maybe suspect but you can't fault my productivity, both here and on commons. -- The Pink Oboe ( talk) 20:32, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
TPO: I was slightly tempted to unblock (and probably lose my admin bit), not because the block was unreasonable, but because Hochman's arrogant "Do not unblock without consulting me, or WP:ANI for a thorough discussion and consensus" bullshit really gets my goat. However, I just can't: in spite of the fact that there are some red herrings in the block rationale, the fact is, you've been acting in a way that is pretty much guaranteed to get you blocked, and so over the top that an unblock is simply not possible right now. I think UltraExactZZ is spot on here. I know I would recommend that much more than trying to outplay whack-a-sock with the admin corps.
POD: As far as warning and blocking Jimbo: I won't warn Jimbo, or block him, because it would not stick, would probably lose me my admin bit, and would make me look like an impotent fool. Of course Jimbo was disruptive and acted improperly, of course there will be no consequences. Those are the benefits of status, in every single on- and off-line society I have ever seen. If an artist calls a duke a fool, and the duke smacks him in the head, the artist gets put in jail. If a duke calls an artist a fool and the artist smacks him in the head, the artist still gets put in jail. I cannot change that. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 20:51, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Hi Jechoman!
Why does the user name "The Pink Oboe" warrant a block ?
The Pink Oboe edits a lot about Pink Floyd.
Before worrying about a phallic joke, consider looking at pictures of oboes. The reed would be abnormally small, and the rest would be very, very strange.
Kiefer. Wolfowitz 22:10, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
Mongo might like to know that he is indeed correct. The difference in time between my genuine very first edit and Webhamster's first edit was about 3 years. I started as an IP editor with a static IP, then changed ISPs where I had a dynamic IP, then came back to the original ISP and managed to get my old IP back as it hadn't been re-allocated and I've stayed with that IP ever since. I'm not going to give out my IP in public, but if a checkuser wants to check the IP I'm on right now with the very first edit of that IP address you'll find it was sometime in 2003 that I started editing here, and it was on the Goon Show article strangely enough.
Oh, whilst I'm here I'll ask a question. I need an account here now. Only want it for one purpose and one purpose only. I'm quite happy to be monitored, to agree to not edit any article other than for the one purpose. I'll promise to never edit anything in any of the non-article spaces (except my own talkpage of course). I'm quite happy to agree to whatever you like so long as I can fulfil the purpose. All I need the account for is the post processing of images/illustrations I upload at commons. For example I'm currently going through the US Army brigade shoulder sleeve insignias (a similar edit to the one Denis Bloodnok was copped for). Once the image is uploaded at commons it needs to be added (or swapped) to the appropriate article on WP. Now I could quite easily do it as a sock but sooner or later I would be caught and that's just a general waste of time for everyone. I could also get someone else to do it for me but that has problems of its own, not least of which is getting hold of someone to do it for me.
So do we have any suggestions? How about WebHamster making a comeback? -- The Pink Oboe ( talk) 02:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
TPO has identified himself as having suffered a stroke.
Some strokes result in conditions like Tourette's syndrome, some versions of which have involuntary swearing as well as facial or hand tics (e.g., "flipping the bird"). In such cases we should, besides the usual WP:AGF and good-willed tolerance of different linguistic sensibilities, be understanding of unusually colorful language ....
There but for fortune, Kiefer. Wolfowitz 08:21, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Contrarily, profanity is not the issue here, but abusing other editors is. WP:NOTCENSORED arguments aside, there is no reason we should tolerate repeated, unrepentant abuse toward other editors, and allowing exceptions for "I can't help it" is a road we are not going down. causa sui ( talk) 20:22, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
Couldn't help but notice and comment on this discussion. Tourette's is a neurological condition that, when manifesting itself in a verbal manner, doesn't carry-over to written expression. The neurological mechanics that allow for written expression take place in a different part of the brain than verbal expression - the two are not intertwined. For anyone to excuse someone who has had a stroke as having "Tourette's" is wrong to begin with. To further excuse uncivil Wikipedia behavior by saying Tourette's is affecting the editor's ability to properly communicate in writing is plain ridiculous. Lhb1239 ( talk) 20:40, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
@Wolfowitz: You bring up the non sequitur of Tourette's as if it has some relevance to this discussion and then launch an ad hominem attack on me for "posturing" because I correctly pointed out Tourette's is irrelevant here? That's pretty funny stuff. Is there a cover charge or drink minimum for your stand up routine? Lhb1239 ( talk) 02:56, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
To Pink Oboe; this account has been blocked indefinitely, and this is unlikely to change except through the formal unbock request process. Please see Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks for how to do this.
Unless you want to file a reasonably-worded unblock request here, your continuing to edit this page appears to have no realistic purpose, other than creating drama. If you merely want to use this page to complain about your block and other editors, without any future prospect of being able to contribute to the encylopedia, I can't see any reason for you to continue to be able to edit this page. -- The Anome ( talk) 21:45, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
