Hi there, i have created a page Roopa D Moudgil and I am in contact with this person and this person has shared me the pictures via mail, so that i can upload them on this page. Moreover, same pictures, which this person shared with me, are already available on many news articles. If i upload these images on Wikipedia page and mark it as Ownwork. will these images be deleted? My one more question is since i have taken these images with the permission of D Roopa, where can i prove it under free work category? Because i want to share it under Free work and My own work
-- Kiranmadhu.e ( talk) 02:15, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
D Roopa shared her photos to me to upload them on Wikipedia's page. But those images shared with me are already published on some news articles. If I upload them, I know that Wikipedia will delete them because of copyright issues. So, how can I prove Wikipedia that I got these images from D Roopa? -- Kiranmadhu.e ( talk) 16:34, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
Hi, My article D Roopa has been speedy deleted, it all happened soon after I moved the page from D Roopa Moudgil to D Roopa IPS. Fact is earlier somebody had created page with the name D Roopa IPS, which was deleted due to some reasons, which I wasn't aware. So the page got deleted soon after I moved the page to D Roopa IPS.
I created new page yet again with the name D Roopa, even that has been deleted and is now it's in contest for deletion status. I request you to look at issues and rectify the problem. I have no idea why it has been deleted and what's going on
I made myself clear at the contested deletion page as to why it should not be deleted.--

Could you please make some articles about Teairra Marí, Brooke Valentine and Lyrica Anderson because I am really desperate to make articles about them but the Wikipedia admins protected the articles because there has been a series of sock puppetry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonsdebut8 ( talk • contribs) 02:24, 9 September 2017 (UTC)
You left a message on my talk page a long time ago . That is how I choose you for this. My user id is mcb133aco and when I am too lazy to login the IP is 184.97.245.52. On 20 Jan I made an edit to the USS Mifflin article as I thought it was written in a redundent manner. It was undone. I did not check for that at the time as I thought I may not have saved the edit(something I manage to do now and again). I redid the edit and had it undone. Now I checked. A user XPennsy22X had done that. I checked other edits I had done and XPennsy22X had undone one other with no stated reason. In addition, my user history prior to contact with XPennsy22X was deleted for the IP 184.97245.52. That was an administrative action and I believe Pennys22 is an administrator As to the other article undo, it was the article on the Seabees, specifically the paragraph on ANTARCTICA. I am a former Seabee that was in Antarctica and I happened to actually work on the Ice runway mentioned in the article. My edits made it read more correctly. I asked Pennsy22 why they returned the article to a state of less accuracy and why the redundacies in the USS Mifflin article? Which got me a SOCK PUPPIT complaint with Wikipedia. Now, a template has appeared at the top of the primary article I have worked on Naval Mobile Construction Battalion 133. It is for a legitimate concern of Wikipedia- bare URLs for citations. However, when I went to the other article I had added a reference and link on, the same template was at the top of the page. (the 4th Marine Division) So I checked the history and guess who left them? They are legit in themselves. I corrected 4 or 5 of those citations first thing this morning. When I came back they were gone like it had never been done So, then I did them all and they remain. But, my ability to upload images to Wiki Commons has been restricted for both my user ID and the IP stated. When I click on the upload tab the entire box disappears. So - your thoughts please. I expect you know exactly what to do and how to do it. When that other user mentioned me on their page I received an email stating that my ID had been mentioned on that user's page. So, I added the Xs to the other ID to negate however that notificataion process works as I think that other user is vindictive. I would rather find out from you that I have misjudged than to find out from them. If you check the 133 article history for the IP 185 you will see the deleted user history goes back to Sept 2015. Sorry to bother you with this and thank you for your time. It says to sign with tides. I do not see anyone has used them on your page so if I get wrong sorry.

I removed the image simply because I wanted another user to upload a better image with the caption is not detailed and needs to represent Jauregui in a better way. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 05:27, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
The image is pourly sourced and cited and the caption isn't necessary I'm asking for users to upload new different image or a better the image was better not this one and no harm is being done. I simply stated in my edit for another user to upload a better picture. Making changes that's not vandalism or being disruptive it's making changes. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 23:22, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm asking for someone to upload the image that's why I put it my comment section asking for others to do so. I'm fine with an image on her page just not that image. I just updated a response in my comment section about the picture. The image before was fine and then was changed to this one .. on other hand what's wrong with not having a picture? I find this image too small and the caption is too busy quote ("my opinion in general but also the image is poorly edited"). I'm not advanced in uploading images I'm giving it other user's chances to so because some have knowledge of how to so that's all. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 23:32, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
That's fine and in all respects I'll leave the image up for discussion and at bay for other users to debate and not alter having it being left alone. Although, do consider my suggestions as all users have opinions, ideas and says on different things about editing and all ideas are welcomed and used for free expression. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 23:47, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
My apologies about asking a user with copyright violations problems I was unaware of the user's history I did took in advance to ask other users as well one's that have great citation and comment feedback in their talk page about edits on articles. The article Lauren Jauregui has an impactful support team something I'm really impressed in that's good other articles need that support system and some do not. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 00:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm liking the image File:Lauren Jauregui performing.jpg anyone in favor? I recommend we use this image in replace. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 00:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, I want to create page with the name D Roopa Moudgil. The thing is this page was created by somebody in July 2016, but this was deleted soon after the creation due to some reasons. It seems to me that this page was deleted as there were no much credible sources or references were available on the internet at that point of time and also this person was not so popular too at that point of time.
This person, who is a very brave and honest woman IPS officer in India, was suddenly in the news all over India in July 2017, as she did a commendable job by earthing the irregularities at jails and she became very popular after that incident.
When i created this page in August 2017 with the same name and with all credible sources and references, this page again got speedy deleted and it was showing the old page (july 2016) as a reason for deletion. The fact is I was not aware of its earlier deletion before creating this page. Please help me to retrieve the page or creating the new page.

I see you rejected the copy edits I made to Dribbble. I left all citations for changes made so not sure why these were rejected. Also, the company is not HQ in Salem, MA, the user count is wrong and the CEO is not event included here. Dan Cederholm and Rich Thornett founded the site but are no longer involved. How can I work with you to correct these errors? I'm happy to post updates in draft form so you can review prior. My goal is to correct inaccurate information, not promote the brand.

Hi, I don't think we've crossed paths before but I've recently being trying to gather some statistics on potential new RfA candidates, and yours seem to be pretty good. A nice mix of content to maintenance skills, excellent performance at AfD (eg: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Baxter (entrepreneur) where you helped turn around a discussion heading for "delete" into one that ended in "keep"), no problems with CSD, alert with copyvios and a strong contributor to FfD which is an area we don't have many admins specialising in. I think you could make good use of the tools, and I've had a pretty successful run of getting candidates through recently. What do you think? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:33, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Dear Mr./Mrs. Whpq,
I am NetHelper, a fellow Wikipedia member. I was surprised to learn that the Wikipedia article for Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony had the exact same text as this website( https://www.gustav-mahler.eu/index.php/werken/95-symphony-no-9/858-movement-3-rondo-burleske-allegro-assai-sehr-trotzig), and I believe that copying and pasting from other sources may be a violation of the copyright policy, furthermore it is detrimental to the quality of the article. Could we work together to solve this issue? I am at your disposal to send you the text that I believe has been copied and pasted from the source.
Regards,

Why did you delete my user/Dustin Blades?
So copyrighted images are not fair use, but wikipedia uses company names to gain value to their own website? So you delete my page because I am small and am a nobody on the internet? I did a great job in explaining who I am, and what business I started? You took what I was doing was advertising? Is all links from wikipedia nofollow? Then what is the problem? Because I am not facebook? What was I gaining from this? Wikipedia is One sided. I expect this to be deleted and unanswered as it does not fit into your criteria. updated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustin Blades ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

I find this image too small and the caption is too busy quote ("my opinion in general but also the image is poorly edited"). I'm not advanced in uploading images I'm giving it other user's chances to so because some have knowledge of how to so that's all. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 23:32, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
That's fine and in all respects I'll leave the image up for discussion and at bay for other users to debate and not alter having it being left alone. Although, do consider my suggestions as all users have opinions, ideas and says on different things about editing and all ideas are welcomed and used for free expression. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 23:47, 19 September 2017 (UTC)
My apologies about asking a user with copyright violations problems I was unaware of the user's history I did took in advance to ask other users as well one's that have great citation and comment feedback in their talk page about edits on articles. The article Lauren Jauregui has an impactful support team something I'm really impressed in that's good other articles need that support system and some do not. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 00:13, 20 September 2017 (UTC)
I'm liking the image File:Lauren Jauregui performing.jpg anyone in favor? I recommend we use this image in replace. Welcometothenewmillenium ( talk) 00:39, 20 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello. I see that you made multiple nominations, including eleven at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2017 October 25. I appreciate your efforts. However, I wonder whether you realize that WP:PROD has extended to pages under file namespace for months per RfC discussion. You can use Twinkle to PROD a file or manually use {{ subst:prod}} on any file. Thanks. -- George Ho ( talk) 06:47, 26 October 2017 (UTC)

You're destroying all my work! It's hard to believe that what you are doing is anything other than destructive, under cover of doing the right thing. Officious behaviour, acting like a sort of policeman. It's everything I hate about Wikipedia. Beryl reid fan ( talk) 14:51, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I want to apologise. I think I must have been feeling rather touchy when I reacted like that. Or rather, overreacted like that. Sometimes working on Wikipedia can put me into a strange space. I realise you are only doing your job. Beryl reid fan ( talk) 23:58, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi there, I want to create page with the name D Roopa Moudgil. The thing is this page was created by somebody in July 2016, but this was deleted soon after the creation due to some reasons. It seems to me that this page was deleted as there were no much credible sources or references were available on the internet at that point of time and also this person was not so popular too at that point of time.
This person, who is a very brave and honest woman IPS officer in India, was suddenly in the news all over India in July 2017, as she did a commendable job by earthing the irregularities at jails and she became very popular after that incident.
When i created this page in August 2017 with the same name and with all credible sources and references, this page again got speedy deleted and it was showing the old page (july 2016) as a reason for deletion. The fact is I was not aware of its earlier deletion before creating this page. Please help me to retrieve the page or creating the new page.

I see you rejected the copy edits I made to Dribbble. I left all citations for changes made so not sure why these were rejected. Also, the company is not HQ in Salem, MA, the user count is wrong and the CEO is not event included here. Dan Cederholm and Rich Thornett founded the site but are no longer involved. How can I work with you to correct these errors? I'm happy to post updates in draft form so you can review prior. My goal is to correct inaccurate information, not promote the brand.

Hi, I don't think we've crossed paths before but I've recently being trying to gather some statistics on potential new RfA candidates, and yours seem to be pretty good. A nice mix of content to maintenance skills, excellent performance at AfD (eg: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Baxter (entrepreneur) where you helped turn around a discussion heading for "delete" into one that ended in "keep"), no problems with CSD, alert with copyvios and a strong contributor to FfD which is an area we don't have many admins specialising in. I think you could make good use of the tools, and I've had a pretty successful run of getting candidates through recently. What do you think? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 21:33, 2 April 2018 (UTC)

Dear Mr./Mrs. Whpq,
I am NetHelper, a fellow Wikipedia member. I was surprised to learn that the Wikipedia article for Gustav Mahler's 9th Symphony had the exact same text as this website( https://www.gustav-mahler.eu/index.php/werken/95-symphony-no-9/858-movement-3-rondo-burleske-allegro-assai-sehr-trotzig), and I believe that copying and pasting from other sources may be a violation of the copyright policy, furthermore it is detrimental to the quality of the article. Could we work together to solve this issue? I am at your disposal to send you the text that I believe has been copied and pasted from the source.
Regards,
NetHelper — Preceding unsigned comment added by NetHelper ( talk • contribs) 05:20, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

The uploader has shared the following content in the description of the video;
Copyright Disclaimer Under Section 107 of the Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Fair use is a use permitted by copyright statute that might otherwise be infringing. Non-profit, educational or personal use tips the balance in favor of fair use."

Why did you delete my user/Dustin Blades?
So copyrighted images are not fair use, but wikipedia uses company names to gain value to their own website? So you delete my page because I am small and am a nobody on the internet? I did a great job in explaining who I am, and what business I started? You took what I was doing was advertising? Is all links from wikipedia nofollow? Then what is the problem? Because I am not facebook? What was I gaining from this? Wikipedia is One sided. I expect this to be deleted and unanswered as it does not fit into your criteria. updated — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustin Blades ( talk • contribs) 18:08, 12 May 2018 (UTC)

Could you please explain to me why you are proposing all of my uploaded images for deletion. All of which have been previously reviewed (except "theWGBnfld.jpg") by other administrators. I do not understand why now they are violating copywrite laws and other Wikipedia violations and not before. It feels as thought I have been targeted and attacked. This calls for explanation.
