Okay well never knew fan sites couldnt be added,dont own any here by the way.
Atul83 05:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
I am well aware of what the content of the external links section should contain, having read WP:EL already. Under WP:EL it states: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate, marking the link as such. All of the articles I added such links to are articles with many fansites. I added a link to one major fansite and marked it as one.
Oh, and I'm not a newbie. 70.48.166.140 19:09, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
A better reason for speedys (like the one you had on Don kretch) is WP:CSD#A7 (what I deleted it under). Just thought you might want to know for future reference). —— Eagle ( ask me for help) 22:51, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
As you said in your message to me regarding this topic, the image does not appear on the site, this is not entirely true, yes it does not appear on www.dancingwithsara.com but it does appear on a subpage:
http://www.dancingwithsara.com/MeetSara/tabid/57/Default.aspx
I have changed the image information to reflect that, is it now settled?
Faris b 23:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, but I'm not up on all these terms and such, if it's not promotional, what would you call it then? Can you at least try to work with me on this instead of poo pooing everything when I try to help? No offense intended. What would you call it? Music sample or something rather? Sara Evans doesn't have any photo gallery on any of her sites, so I figured that was a promo image in a way.
Faris b 23:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Fine, I understand your're angle now, but I'm sure your familiar with the user Ebegoun, he's been blocked at least twice for uploading images all the time, I've had talks with him and he won't listen, personally, I was fine with the old, old image that's been on the page forever but he keeps putting current ones that he's finding on google and listing several sites as the copyright holders when they aren't, I did this in an attempt to at least find one correct image and have it stay that way, as he keeps doing this and I'm tired of seeing the page with 1 pic for a few days then it's gone the next, I did this in an attempt to stop all these deletes from happening.
Also, why do we even need to fuss with all these liscensings? It's for an encyclopedia so why do we need it? It's not like we're priting out the images and selling them so why does it affect that site?
I though so, so why not block Ebegoun permanently? He doesn't strike me as the type to learn from past mistakes.
Ok, well, that's complicated I'm sure, but why does Wiki want to burn DVD's with images and sell them? That sounds kind of odd to me.
Faris b 23:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Ok, well, how many more blocks does he have left before the last one? Just wondering.
Really? Just about everyone has internet these days it seems, who are these who don't have it? So, is it a DVD of just images or complete off line web pages?
Faris b 23:48, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

infinite monkey theorem has been officially proven. Chimps really can get somewhere on Wikipedia.
With new buttons come great responsibility, and I'll try my best to live up to your expectations. If you need assistance with something, don't hesitate to swing by my talk page or email me (trust me, I do respond :)). The same goes for any complaints or comments in regard to my administrative actions. Remember, I'm here for you.

How was that image unacceptable? It was tagged as a publicity photo. Nqnpipnr 02:57, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Hmm, I didn't notice that on the photo's source site. My mistake. I'll look into it more clearly next time. Nqnpipnr 20:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Well, Poseidon cost $160 million and made $60 million [1]...so that would be considered a flop, no? Ohyeahmormons 17:32, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for bringing that to my attention Yamla, but I must admit I don't quite understand the reason why the "promo" tag doesn't cover this image. Yes, it isn't in a press kit, but it is used to promote the sale of the costume on probably a dozen or more websites, and therefore seems to conform to "advertising" in my opinion. I did provide a link to one of these websites, which I think does qualify as providing evidence of its source. I would appreciate it if you could clarify this issue. Thanks again. -- Grandpafootsoldier 17:52, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
I don't have time to provide a fair use rationale for the image, school keeps me way to busy, so I just deleted it. -- light darkness ( talk) 18:11, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
There was no reason to revert my edit to this image. It didn't have a fair use rational, and was flagged as such, so I added part of the equation using the character-artwork template. Just because someone edits Wikipedia sans username does not mean they are not familiar with its policies, are "testing", or vandalizing. 71.240.9.37 22:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I notice you have had recent difficulty with Viogfernos blanking warnings. I've opened an RFC regarding him here which you may wish to comment on. It deals mainly with incivility and mislabelling others' edits as vandalism. I don't know exactly how this works, whether I'm supposed to contact everyone who might have a problem with him... but I figured you might be interested. Thanks, Fuzzypeg ☻ 01:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
Hey Yamla! Thanxs for the heads-up. I added an additional source for the image, along with a small rational. I do not have the official copyright information, but I believe that the image is a promotional image. If you need me to add anything else, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. Have fun editing! =D Jumping cheese Contact 21:56, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
And that is my question, And what about pictures from your own computer like pictures you edit how can you source them seeing as they come from you computer and all, and same goes for your camera how can you source pictures you take??? Eemo crash
TV Squad is no more commercial of a website than several other links listed in the 'External links' section of the House (TV Series) page. TV Squad provides detailed reviews of every episode of House, so I truly believe this to be a service to fans of the show. I'll bring it up in the Talk page for House.
I did not blank the image from the Shakira page, someone entered a dead link to an image that does not exist, I simply removed the dead link from that page. Should I refrain from removing dead links from now on? Also, you could go about it a different way of informing me that I made a mistake than a threatening post, it was a simple mistake that I deleted the second image, I am EXTREMLY sorry for ANY inconvenience that I may have POSSIBLY caused ANYONE in the world that used Wikipedia from my menial trivial mistake Ejfetters 01:11, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Would you prefer I post a screen capture within the article? I know they say "wikipedia is not censored", but I don't think it's right to assault the casual user with adult imagery, without some warning first. Wahkeenah 08:35, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
My thinking in adding that pic to her page is that, since we do not have any other pics to show for, why not just display that one for the time being? It's a full body shot and gives the page some color, looks nice and it was her signature movie. LG-犬夜叉 19:57, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Did you block me last 24 hours?? I didn´t see this message in this period. What are you talking about? There are zillions of images here without any sources or copyrights or fair use racionales, zillions. Why me? Mine have the proper tags. In some of it there isn't fair use rationales because its use are obvious. (Well, more than a half images I see here don´t have a fair use rationale too, and that images ARE there) You asked me before about information of two images, I responded what you asked me, you said nothing about it, I thought it was satisfactory. What´s the problem now?
As I rode about the proceeding ways for administrators here, you can't block users this way, wasn´t it an abuse? (did you read it?)You just blocked me but said nothing before it and said nothing after my last message to you. Could you please be more specific and less harsh?? What images are you talking about? Thank you. Machocarioca 07:18, 10 September 2006 (UTC)machocarioca
Help needed, plenty: I need help in identifying a proper image tag for this image, so that I can keep it on the talk page, but I can also describe the copyright status properly. Aditya Kabir 08:29, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Explanation offered, humbly: I have also noticed that you have been tracking some of the images I uploaded. All I can request is - please, show me the way to put proper tags to images, and put images at proper places. Understand that my only objective is to put more image contents to some of the stuff I know about. There is not intention to clutter WP with uselessness. Aditya Kabir 15:14, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:KristannaLoken2.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Hi, Yamla. I noticed you're aware of User:Machocarioca's behaviour lately. I have been removing screenshots he adds to movies articles to (according to him) make them look better. But he keeps reverting it. I'm at one reversion to violate the three reversion rule in the articles Shakespeare in Love, As Good as It Gets and Good Will Hunting. Currently, only Shakespeare in Love needs a reversion as it has two random screenshots floating around the text. If it's not ask you too much, I'd like you to turn your attention to these articles (and, of course, apply your own judgement and not mine on them).
I regret having accepted to chat in Portugues with this user's as it's now hader to my to quote his ideas about unfree image use.
Thanks in advance for your attention, and soory if I disturbing you too much. Best regards, -- Abu Badali 03:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

That's that we have a policy against picture gallery links. But could you tell me where that is? PedanticallySpeaking 17:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm. Im guessing you are new to this.
The source: from their music video. Which is fairplay. Rationale: most artists featured on this site have a photo. so i added a fair use image.
Please refrain from vandalising further sites, as this causes problems for other users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soladee ( talk • contribs)

I agree.....but what about the pictures of me i had on my user page?
actually they were..... 0111 22:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I've posted input on many diverse issues and my input was mostly good, but sometimes bad..For bad input I expect to be penalised.. fair one.
It annoys me however to see the good input from many users deleted and to be replaced by the most biased unqualified cant...Which is allowed to stand, even though it is against the guidelines that you purport to uphold here.
If you want examples you can have them.
Should it be your intention to alienate users here, who are capable and willing to provide valuable input, simply on the basis of the fact that they may not be be familar - down to the last details, with the "rules and regulations"- Then I must take this opportunity to congratulate you.
You will also forgive me for saying that your moderation Yamla, seems to have more to do with your own desire to express your personal self importance, than to address the relevant issues in hand.
You may now use your considerable powers to punish me for expressing my opinion on the failure of the moderation here to either have a clear consistent procedural concept, or to be capable of following and implementing their own rules and regulations.-- Nighthawkx15 23:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Nighthawk

About Galactic Civilizations 2 and your erasing my improvements
Dear Yamla: I'm sure I'm not doing this in the proper format but just wanted to leave you a note about your reversal of my additions to the Galactic Civilizations 2 page. What happened to the 'Good Faith' revision policy I keep seeing? I revised the page in good faith and made TWO changes.
The first was to link to a website (civfantics.com, which is NOT mine as you incorrectly assumed and has a wiki page of its own) that has a good forum where gamers discuss gameplay issues, strategy, problems, and similar topics. I was trying to help. If this is against policy, I understand, but maybe you could have actually followed the link and seen it led to a legitimately helpful site. The site I linked to is also a link from the galciv.com homepage as linked on the wiki page too.
My second change was deleted, unfairly, without reason except apparently guilt by association. Can you tell me why you deleted it? The criticisms section referenced problems with the original game issue and talked them being fixed in the beta 1.1 bug fix. The game is currently two fixes past that, on the 1.3 version. I didn't erase the criticism, just mentioned the newer update. WHY DID YOU ERASE THIS CHANGE???
I'm going to re-change my second modification back. Please either leave it alone or give me a reason I shouldn't mention the most current bug fix that is available.
Remember 'Good Faith'? That's me, and I hope you show it too. :)
User: 71.82.13.210 deleted, as in the contents, of Footmen Frenzy. See if you can block him. I've already asked you once, but I think I have the so called "duty" just to report again for the hell of it. Thanks -- Adam Wang 21:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

My edits to the Elephant page have been repeatedly reverted, even though they are important. Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report has tried to get users to make false statements on the Elephant page, and it is important that others are aware of this so they can correct vandelism. People interested in the worldwide status of Elephants want to know whether their population has increased or decreased and whether certain individauls are spreading rumors about them
206.172.38.200 is the IP for the Lambton-Kent District School board, or at least I think it is. It might only be for a certain part of the area or only for St. Clair Secondary School. I know this because all of the computers in the school have the same IP, and are all blocked from editing, unless I'm logged on. I, personally, am not sure whether Schools should actually be allowed to ever edit Wikipedia, as they are full of jerks who think this is just some site. I just wanted to let you know.

I noticed that you left a final warning on User talk:Cholga. I'm curious as to why you left so severe a warning when this was a user's first vandalism warning. While the edits were certainly unconstructive, I don't know that they warranted a {{ test4}}, especially given that the edits were to an article's talk page and he/she had no previous vandalism warnings. The user has made a few mistakes (posting a message on a user page instead of a talk page; bordering on violating WP:CIVIL in an AFD discussion) but those shouldn't affect the vandalism warning process. Could you enlighten me, please? -- Merope Talk 19:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

With regards to Terminatrix.jpg image, I never uploaded it. It was uploaded by User:Iam. I simply just used the picture on Kristanna Loken's profile.
I feel this is unfair considering i never upload the image, surely shouldn't the person who uploaded the picture be blocked, not myself. If I knew there was problems i wouldn't have used it. I was only trying to update a page.
Can I just have you discussed the copyright situation with User:Iam who originally uploaded the image or is it only me who was punished for using a picture that I had no idea of the copyright issues as I never uploaded to Wikipedia?
I did not see your responds to me at Abu Badali talk page [2] before changing the copyright, if I did I would have known that was not the correct copyright and would have removed it. Regards Mallaccaos 20 September 2006

Hi, Yamla. I'm here again to ask for your help in communicating to User:Dionyseus (remember the last time?). He have been for some reverting, withouth much discussion, my editions to:
After noticing that communication through edit summaries was not taking us anywhere, I've left him some messages, explaining my views on the issues. But he prefered to blank my messages from his talk page with the Edit Summary: "rv to last version by Ivan. Abu's messages aren't welcomed in my talk page.". And after that, went on to rv my editions to these four articles.
Now I noticed he has also reverted my (image related) editions to Johnny Depp [3] (use of screenshot to illustrate actor), Hudson Leick [4] (use of image with a long history of improper licensing) and even Wikipedia:Fair use [5] (reverting my reversion).
Maybe a message from you would be more "welcomed" on his talk page. And of course, as the other times, I understand you will use your own judgment in each of the cases, and I'll not simply expect you to agree with me in all my opinions. What's really important here is to stop the edit war.
Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, -- Abu Badali 13:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Nice job being totally wrong about my edit to House, MD -- It's not my Web site I linked to, and it's not spam. That Web site is useful as an external link, cataloguing all the music used on the series by episode and scene.

Hi Yamla, I've noticed that you've been asking for sources and fair use rationales etc, so I'm thinking if you can't answer my question..... I don't know who can. There are several images in Nelson Eddy that are down as being GFDL but very obviously are promophotos/music sheets. Whatever they are, I'm sure they're not GFDL. What would be the correct tag to put on them to get them reviewed and/or deleted? I've looked everywhere I can think of but can't find anything I could use, and I'm sure I've seen such a tag used somewhere in the past. Thanks for any help you can give me. Cheers Rossrs 16:14, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
(In response to comment on my talk page)
Might I ask what images have been problematic -- and moreover, what recent addition triggered this?? I know of only one instance ( Image:WCCO Logo (2006).gif) where I was the original uploader and lacked essential information. In other instances, the images would have been deleted anyway, (e.g., Image:Marybell.gif). The only reason I was editing them was to remove things such as excessive borders, drop shadows or paddding -- I can't add source information if I am not the user who provided the image. Thank you.

Hi, I noticed you removed the image of Hudgens' new album from the article. It was used down below under "Career" and placed by the paragraph that talked about the album. I thought that covered fair use? Since it was used directly in the paragraph where it was talked about? Mad Jack 22:24, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate the herculian effort you put into keeping the WP nice, clean and fair, as is probaly amply rewarded by the many citations and awards you have recieved, not to mention the thank you notes. But, it would be more appreciable, I think, if this effort was nice, clean and fair on the people submits stuff (in this case I'm talking about myself).
I have noticed that you have removed all of the Jazmin pictures, got the all of the portraits deleted (not knowing the WP policies clearly I couldn't do much about it, but I'd still say that sometimes the policies may require a bti of explanation, not just pointing to a labyrinthyne policy page). And, now same has happened to the DVD covers, under the rationale you have provided ("License requires detailed fair-use rationale, not provided.").
Now, I would like to forward a few words on that:
Yours sincerely - Aditya Kabir 14:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC) - please, reply on my talk page.
I'm sorry, I actually didn't mean to delete the warnings. I wasn't trying to be mean, and I'm sorry if I came off as rude.
I was actually wondering how I could delete files I uploaded without proper copyrights? (I'm referring to the two I was warned about - Aishwarya Rai) Sinbihaeyo 16:16, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Atul83 13:48, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Test Yamla, I notice that you have problems with a couple of my recent edits. In fact, I'm beginning to think you have some kind of personal problem with me. Firstly, I edited the Thandie Newton article to include the FACT that her mother is a princess. This does not come from my original research. It is a widely reported fact. I am happy to provide a citation, in fact citations are all over the internet and in pretty much every interview she has ever done. But why are you acting like this is some kind of obscure item that I made up? Also, regarding Precious Williams, this woman is one of the best known journalists in England - as I said in my edit, far more noteable than Baz Bamigboye and others you have chosen not to delete! The book that she contributed a short story IS on Amazon and if you had really done a search on Amazon, you would have seen it. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Sensibility-Romances-Lives-Single/dp/0743483030/sr=8-3/qid=1159311819/ref=sr_1_3/102-3202160-7576906?ie=UTF8&s=books
And here is just one of the articles that cites Thandie being the daughter of a Zimbabwean Shona Princess http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2005/08/05/bfthandie05.xml Igbogirl 23:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Can you provide some citations for us, confirming that Baz Bamigboye has "received multiple independent reviews of or awards." I have searched everywhere and could find none. I asked around, nobody I know has even heard of him apart from one journalist friend in England who says she once read an article he wrote for the Daily Mail and that it was "drivel". So, please provide citations. Ciao —Preceding unsigned comment added by Igbogirl ( talk • contribs)

Yamala,
I am unclear why it is not okay to post links to my video websites, blastro, yallwire, and roxwel, on music artist pages. All my sites have quality news and videos regarding these artists. MTV runs ads on their site, yet their links don't seem to be "SPAM". Can you please explain how my site is not a valid resource for information/video for these artists. I have read wikipedia's guidelines and I am still unclear. I appreciate your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.44.118.175 ( talk • contribs)

I wondered why you removed these links as "Spam" from The Fray page:
The First one is The Fray's Official Myspace which people can hear music from. The second is a very imfomative fansite, from which a lot of the original artical information came from (including the information on Movement and Reason) as well as the webmaster (me...which is why I am asking) checks all the information on The Fray articles to make sure they are completly accurate. So I'm wonering why it was labeled Spam.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frayawaytheedges ( talk • contribs)
Also could you tell me how do I reference to a webpage?
And how does one cite primary information? I know the guys of The Fray, so all the information I have to add is what they have told me directly and I don't know how to cite that to prove it's authenticity.
I wasn't reverting you. I started editing the old version before and I guess the software merged it together oddly. I was fixing the way the ip had added the picture (with the frame). Sorry about that. The picture should go and I should have checked the history. Broken Segue 20:30, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey iam an alumini of that college and helped with some pics for the creation of the website. Dont write anything as u like because you have the freedom. I dont know whats wrong with you and stop threatening me. I dont like talking to a guy repeatedly whom i dont know.

Hi even the college doesnt have the proper copyright for those pictures and its a collective effort from us. Its not like a georgetown university or a cambridge university where the college has everything copyrighted. I have a question: why are you so concerned about me uploading my college pictures ? Iam sure there are lots of other people duplicating. Go and correct them. And iam writing this once again, dont bother me. If this goes on, iam going to say bye to wikipedia and you know thats it is a loss to the community. This is the last reply for you.. Bye wikipedia .
Good Bye and good luck

In a previous discussion on your page, I was looking for directions on what to do about the Jazmin picture that got removed from the article page. If they remain orphaned for a long time, they'll get removed from WP altogether. I still think we can put them back to the page, and remove the complains against them. And, I am still waiting for your answer. Currently I am under the impression that you are not as quick in providing directions as you are in removing pictures. Please, let's start talking reasons now. - Aditya Kabir 13:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC) - please, reply on my talk page.
Earlier you wrote that you need some more time to respond to my questions and arguments (see previous discussion). But, since then 10 days have passed, and you have answered to 24 other talks. I posted again, and you prefer to ignore it again, and move on to other talks. How much longer would it take for you to come up with an answer? Please, let me know at least that.
Obviously I can put the pictures back and put the argument I forwarded on the discussion pages for the images. But, I am afraid some ruthless and insensitive editor may again put them out.
Do I do what I think is best?
And, may be put the images back where they were?
Or, do I wait endlessly for you to respond?
And, may be get the orphaned images deleted?
You flaunt complex policies at my face and I ask for directions. You keep silent and I do my own research through the policies and precedence on WP, and you again keep silent. Just because you have been here longer, is more active and have won stars and a management position you can't do this to people. Democracy doesn't work that way. I am really frustrated now. Yours sincerely Aditya Kabir 07:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC) - please, reply on my talk page.
So, finally the images got deleted.
And, you still haven't answered.
I have nothing to say to you.
I hope your attitude doesn't go universal.

Yamla, Recently we have moved our site to a new domain and so I have been going through the Wiki pages that either cite our page or have links and updating it. In doing so I have changed the URL. In most if not all of the cases this has caused you to completely remove these as spam. Example would be the FLAC page. The site I run is informational and no $ is made from the site and so I dont understand why it is being viewed as spam after being on these Wiki pages for anywhere from 6 monthes to a year without any problems. Becuase the goal of our site is to inform existing and new users to lossless audio Wiki is a great place for the site to be linked. Just trying to understand. Thanks Windmiller 16:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Yamla, Right after I posted this I noticed your post on my page. Thanks for taking the time to explain, much appreciated! Its good to know that people like you are fighting splogs, spam, etc. on Wiki. I will certainly take your advice we well as being more selective about which pages I attempt to be linked from. I will try with only the ones where I have seen alot of users benefit from the link like the FLAC page. Again thanks for the clarification!!

Thanks for uploading Image:Jayne mansfield fuzzy bikini.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 15:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I saw you recently had a run in with User:Chadbryant. I had been having problems with a new editor, Twentyboy, who was filling article talk pages with chiy-chat. Looking through his contributions, I came across a link between these users:
I have a suspicion that after being blocked for a week for repeated violation of 3RR, Chad continued editing under the name twentyboy. My reasoning:
Now if you look at their contribs, you'll see that they're both editing the same articles, but never at the same time.
I went to ANI, and they told me to go to checkuser. So I did. I was told that this wasn't worthy of a checkuser, because 3RR blocks are not "community based blocks", whatever that means. This means I can't really prove they're the same, but the evidence seems pretty overwhelming.
Do you have any ideas as to what I should do? I agree that I'm reacting rather strongly, but I don't like to think that someone could get away with this, and I can't find the right place to report it. Being an admin, maybe you know of another place to report this. Thanks. yandman 07:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
It's cool. Thank you! I didn't even know you could make a sockpuppet until you told me about it. LoL! I certainly wouldn't ever try it. I don't even know how. Watch it though, you may tell someone with bad character about sockpuppets and he may learn how to do it. I certainly won't. I hope you don't mind if I erase my ranting as I don't want to make anyone look bad. :) 65.31.99.71 18:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, but would you mind keeping an eye on Twentyboy? He seems upset that I told him that his comment on The Undertaker's talk page was irrelevant, and that I told him ignoring critics isn't wise.

I refuse to get into further argument with Yandman. I thought Yamla, that you said he had said thank you or something but he is still harassing me. Not only has he got me blocked, but now he refuses to quit harassing me. Anyway, I'd much appreciate it if you would get the user to leave me alone. And the user TH has accused me of being upset with him for correcting him on a spelling error he made. I suggest to the two of you to leave it alone, leave me alone, and go about your business. Thankyou! Twentyboy 20:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I had never accused Twentyboy of being a sockpuppet, and he started getting really defensive about it. In my last edit on his talk page, I told him what I think. Could you please deal with him? I'm willing to drop it if he is, but he doesn't seem willing. Please help. Cheers. T H L 09:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

You're becoming a serious pest when it comes to these images. Back the fuck off. ( 64.12.116.70 19:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC))
Some of the images you have tagged for deletion have not necessarily needed to be tagged as such. I'm not saying all of them, but some of them have a clear fair-use rationale on them. Take Image:SpongeSeason 1.jpg for example: it is clearly a DVD cover, and it is marked as such, but you put a {{no rationale}} tag on it. I'm just asking you to be careful, as taking out fair-use images won't help anything. I'm not trying to be confrontational, just trying to point something out. - Patstuart 20:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
No, that is provided very clearly provided with the tags. That's the reason the tags exist. If it is not provided with a tag, or the tag is clearly wrong, then it may be deleted. But if the tag is clear, and the image fits the description, that is enough. Trust me on this one. - Patstuart 20:52, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, this is the best I can do: I'll first mention anecdotal evidence. I think anecdotal is important, because of the policy leaves any gray room, it's important to look at how it's been done in the past: Anecodotal:
Policy:
I'm not saying that if it's not obvious, or if there appears to be a bad tag, then not to provide the no rationale tag. But some of these are obvious, and I hope some of the policy and reasoning I've provided can help us agree on the issue. - Patstuart 21:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, every place I've contributed, everything reverted. I spent a lot of time making contributions and you went and reverted everything. A whole bunch of stuff. It looks like you may have just pressed an undo button of everything I did because there's no basis of reverting it. This stuff I'm looking at is not vandalism at all. Without getting all the information to figure out if I was a sockpuppet, you not only blocked me but reverted all of my edits to? I can't even go back and change it because I would be changing a lot of work other writers have done here at wikipedia too. And it would be like doing what you did to me, to others. No offense or anything, but a good administrator looks into a situation without taking sides. I've basically wasted a lot of time here because of all the reversions on top of being accused of being a sockpuppet. Still and all, nothing was done to the people who erroneously accused me of being a sockpuppet. I really wish there was a bit more justice here at wikipedia! 65.31.99.71 22:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

After you abruptly ended our last discussion on the legitimacy of my logo uploads, I see you've now gone after more recent uploads on the accusation that I'm still violating fair use policies.
You'll find the precedent is clear. On many popular articles, you'll find logos with the same or less source information provided:

Ok, thats cool (in regards to Jennifer Aniston pic) anyways could you please delete this image: Image:Aishwarya Rai CC.jpg. It is a duplicate image I uploaded. I orginally upload the image Image:Aishwarya Rai.jpg however there was a copyright vio image there and my image did not overwrite it even though it says it did. So then I uploaded the image Image:Aishwarya Rai CC.jpg to replace the copyright vio image on the Aishwarya Rai page. However the image Image:Aishwarya Rai.jpg is now replaced with the original one I uploaded, so Image:Aishwarya Rai CC.jpg is now obsolete. Thanks. Valoem talk 17:04, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Since when has this been about. Now i think this is a stupid thing to do. There is no free images of randy orton or many people. How are people going to know what people look like now if no picture is allow. Seriously wikipedia is starting to become a joke. Lil crazy thing 17:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
But no-one has released any iamges to use, so untill someone uploads one of there pictures personally to use then there isn't none. I know theres google but when you come to a page and see information on there you dont want to have to go throught google and search them just to see a picture. This policy is going over the top, if all these policies are coming to light then i think wikipedia should stop all uploading of images. I know you have nothing to do with it but i really feel wikipedia is starting to go to far, if this policy is going to be used then about 80% of pictures on wikipedia will go un-needingly. I have replace the tag on that picture to the one the other tag has said to put. Lil crazy thing 17:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Images break up pages and i find it so horrible to just look at a page full of text without nothign breaking it up. It maybe easy to do for someone who has personally taken a picture of him to upload, i have plenty of pictures from friends they have taken but they can't be used if i upload them as there not mine. Whoever owns wikipedia should suspend all uploading of images at this rate, cos that what this tag basically is, if it isnt free it wont be allowed and most pictures on here aren't free, go to all wrestlers pages and actors and singers etc etc and nearly all pictures arent free. i really think this is getting silly now with all these policies. Lil crazy thing 18:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
i have told you and told you and told you, there is NO free images of him on the internet UNTIL someone actually uploads one of there images they took then there is no free images, also please do not go around the pages and add this tag to just the pictures i've uploaded on the wrestlers pages. i have put the other tag on the page which it states to do when i believe a free iamge cannot be found and reading the other tag i think its very reasonable. Just because his a sort of public person doesnt mean its easy to get a free picture of him, because it isn't unless someone actually uplaods a picture and no one has so it isn't possible Lil crazy thing 14:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
So wikiepdia basically expects people to stalk famous people to get a free image. No where do it say what your saying, what your saying is your thoughts on it. There is no free images of Randy Orton therefore no free iamges can be uploaded or created at the moment because there is none, when a free image comes avalible then it gets change but there IS NONE. I'm also getting sick of you just adding this tag only to the wrestling images ive uploaded, you always do this, do you get some kick out of singling people out yet again cos that what your doing on the wrestling pages, just singling me out and my images and no one elses. I stick by what i say and i will continue to change that tag because that tag is to be put there when there is a dispute over an image, so i'm actually following what the tag says Lil crazy thing 15:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, I think that assertion is your POV, not a rule. This WP:FUC says clearly: Also, if the subject of the photograph still exists, a free photograph could be taken, even though it may be difficult. This is a recomendation, it´s not forbidden. There's no free image for Eva Green. And there's not a rule: "Upload image of living people under fair use is forbbiden". Right?
Fair Use rules are clear, as I know: Promotional material - for an image freely provided to promote an item. Well, the image is promoting Casino Royale and the character Vesper Lynd, performed by Eva Green, as in the caption. Otherwise, I couldn't understand your point. Before upload that image of Eva Green, I saw many (most) images of living people under fair use tag here, specially actors and actresses, some of them uploaded by administrators. Why aren't deleted? Could I say what you have done reverting the image was vandalism based in POV? Caravaggio31 07:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Caravaggio31

Yeah, but do you think that wwe.com always tells the truth??? They list Hulk Hogan as 6' 7", but in fact Hulk Hogan is 6' 4" or 6' 5" and they also say that The Big Show is over 7' 3" tall. That's nonsense.

Hi Yamla, would you mind rolling back [13]? I've reverted today's with popups, but it's rather slow, and from what I gather, you have a faster tool. Is there a way we can automatically remove any links to that site? User is a serial linkspammer, but was not given a final warning until today, so I've not listed him at wp:vandal. Yet. yandman 09:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Dear Yamla, you see, I've been editing this page for a film called Sainikudu. User:Thamizhan keeps reverting my edits without giving reasons. He removed them at first claiming POV but there was no POV at all. He then said the info there was unsourced. I've already provided citations, but he keeps doing it. Plus, his language during his edit summaries are really rude. Here are examples : [14] [15]. I'm really trying to avoid an edit war here so I'd really appreciate if you could have a word with him. Thanking you in advance. Hariharan91 17:25, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help, but I would be using the screenshots for profile pictures of Characters for films like Scream Trilogy, Terminator Trilogy, etc...

Image does not violate fair use policy. Please cite the policy. The actress is the actress, regardless of roles. Bastiq▼e demandez 18:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Fair use means that an image, one image, may be used to illustrate an article in question. In the case of an actress, portrayal of a character if another, more free image is not available. Bastiq▼e demandez 18:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed you tagged Image:Accepted Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.jpg with {{ nrd}}. Is there a specific concern that you had? It is tagged with {{ cdcover}}, which itself contains a fair use rationale, namely, that the image is used "soley to illustrate the audio recording in question". With DVD covers, CD covers, etc, the rationale is usually considered to be obvious and the vast majority don't have anything above and beyond the tag. I looked at the page where this image is used and didn't see a problem with it. Is there a specific concern that you had? BigDT 21:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

You have got to be kidding me. Image:VanessaV.jpg is a copyrighted image, it is also, however, the cover art for V (Vanessa Hudgens album), where it was used explicitly for purposes of identification. The fair use rationale for cover albums - all cover albums - is spelled out in Template:Albumcover, the improper usage of this image would be to illustrate the artist Vanessa Hudgens on her article. Now I understand that you may be trying to impose a draconian standard of redundant rationales in album cover art images, but posting a warning that accuses me of violating Wikipedia policy on copyrights is a bit less polite than asking me to provide a more detailed rationale. It is also plain incorrect as Wikipedia fair use policy allows for the use of cover art images to identify and illustrate music albums. ˉˉ anetode ╦╩ 15:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Yamla, I know I havent been the best wiki editor, since I've been banned twice by you for image licensing, well that isnt intentional for I'm still trying to learn how to license, the wikipedia articles are helpful but confusing.It seems tho that you have a problem with the Stacy Ferguson page having a better, more recent default.We all know Fergie is known for her looks and how she doesn't care to mention that in her songs, My Humps and Fergalicious. So the picture for her page is very bad example of what many people know her for and just a old picture. I understand it cant be copyrighted and all but if you go to other peoples pages as for example, Danity Kane, and Kevin Federline, their pictures are either promotional or an album cover, when fans of fergie try to upload those, its reverted or changed, if they license it wrong i understand, but i put a promotional pic of her up and licened it under fair use images, just as the danity kane pic, mine was rev and i was banned for another day.it seems as if you either are hard on people trying to put a new pic up of her on there or just hard on newcomers period, you've discouaraged people to edit on here and i just think you need a better apporach, i mean come on, its a online encyclopedia, you have to shun people if they accidently put the wrong license under a picture, "OH HEAVENS!". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregxscene ( talk • contribs)

Hi,
I can understand you removing the link to the Railroads! forums but you are doing the viewers a disservice. These forums are one of the very few places where people can discuss the game and it is the only place where people can discuss it in a 'Sid Meier's Railroads! theme'. There is no official forum for the game and this forum is a source for technical help (the game has quite a few problems) and user created content. Firaxis themselves are -active- participants here too, helping with tracking down bugs. This forum is needed because there is no other place where they can get direct customer support. Please consider leaving the link in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.160.207.66 ( talk • contribs)
Okay, if everybody is leaving comments on "my" discussion page, how come each person's "own" page says they're on profile or vacation? That's not the point though. Suppose I'm tired of Wikipedia in general. Is there a procedure by which my account (assuming at least that much is "mine" since it's the login and username assigned to me) can be removed, and "my" discussion page wiped and closed? I'm pretty much fed up with inaccuracies, BS, spurious warnings, edit reverts, biased entry deletions, and the general malady of believing that maintaining a user edited website results in a better encyclopedia when in fact any fact that changes on a day to day basis isn't much of a fact at all.

I'd like to register some sort of formal complaint against you. How do I do this? Your behaviour today has been utterly over the top and a complete abuse of your position as an administrator. Blocking me was an explicitily punitive measure, undertaken in an extremely high-handed manner after only three good-faith attempts at an edit by me.

Hi Yamla, I was wondering if I could ask you about the new rules regarding images... I've read some of the pages regarding fair use, but I don't quite get it--what's up now sounds really flexible to me, and doesn't make sense. Is it legal to use screen captures from video? Is it legal to use an image that was used in promotion, i.e. an image used on a promotional poster for a record that was displayed in record stores? Thanks in advance for any tips!

I don't think anything I removed was a warning,either here, or here. I was going on this advice from an administrator saying I could remove anything I want. You say if I feel I am the victim of a personal attack, I should request an administrator's attention; I'd appreciate it if you looked into my case; it is incredibly clear from my talk page history, that DXRAW has been getting at me without reason ever since I joined. Please see the multitude of templates he posted here only days after I joined, and then his complete refusal to explain them here or here. Since our paths have not crossed on any article since, there is no reason that, over a month later, that he would be reading my talk page in the first place unless he just wanted to cause trouble.

I saw from this user talk page that you had blocked this address from editing Wikipedia in the past. I just reverted vandalism to the article on Abel Talamantez that occurred on October 19, just three days after another user (admin?) had posted a final warning about other vandalism. It sounds as if it may be time to block this one again. Lawikitejana 04:31, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

What is the official rule of thumb for an official myspace.com link on a bio of a person? In the past I put a link to Torrie Wilson's official myspace.com page on Torrie Wilson and you reverted it citing "Removed myspace link as per WP:EL". I finally accepted that and have in fact removed several myspace.com links myself citing the same reference from other pages.
Yesterday I removed one from Jenna Jameson and I got a message from Wikipedia user, AnonEMouse, stating, " Wikipedia:External links, it writes "Except where noted, this list does not override the list of what should be linked. For example, if the subject of an article has an official website, then it should be linked even if it contains factually inaccurate material." Therefore, the official Myspace site of the person the article is about should be linked."
Who is right? Thanks for your help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.16.198.77 ( talk • contribs)
This is a good question, what is Wikipedia's official stance towards myspace links? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laetnej ( talk • contribs)
My reading of the policy has always been that MySpace links are inappropriate unless the article specifically mentions the MySpace page itself. Even if they are official links. Rereading WP:EL, however, I'm not sure this is what is intended. There are really three possibilities. The first, I've already mentioned. The second would be that if the only official page about a person (or band) was the MySpace page, it may be acceptable then. The third would be that a MySpace link is appropriate whenever it is an official page. I'll try to see what the consensus is on the discussion page for WP:EL. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I'm sorry if I caused either of you any troubles. -- Yamla 19:47, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Yamla, we owe each other apolgies for last night. I admit I over reacted over this issue, but if you would've seen from my talk page, I had a banning dispute with Zoe earlier, and got really cheesed off. However, admittedly, you were trying to do your job, so you have my apologies for the abuses last night. But I think you owe me too for assuming I acted in bad faith, which I most sincerely didn't, neither did I see the messages you left in my talk page before you blocked me, so I was doubly annoyed.

Greetings Yamla. The reason I am writing to you is to notify you regarding film articles User:Thamizhan has created regarding the actor Madhavan. I've searched and searched the whole net but I've yet to find a single article which mentions these films. Also, I am an avid followers of websites regarding Hindi language films and Tamil language films and I have not seen an article on these websites which gives mention to these films. Examples of these articles are : Yaaravan Nalam, Hello Zindagi, Aaval and Ivan Yaaro. Also note that all these articles provide the same trivia, that is that these so called "films" are being shot at a budget of Rs. 30 million and these articles have been created on the same day. These articles have also been created in a mere gap of 13 minutes, which is bound to raise suspicion.
Also, the entire article regarding the actor in question, Madhavan, has not been written in a neutral point of view. All the images on this article shouldn't even be there as they infringe on copyrights. I implore you to look into this matter. Thank you. -- Visual planet 17:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
I assumed that since it was used at http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Seven_of_Nine, it was legitimate fair use. Mnpeter 20:12, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Hey, sorry I removed it. I honestly don't remember tagging it fair use and don't know why I did... I thought there weren't problems with uploading album covers...? Camcallister 00:07, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I uploaded the Ghilli image because it was a promotional image by the movie makers, and no other suitable image was availble in the public domain. If you see the images files of many other movies, only this rationality is used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Balajiviswanathan ( talk • contribs)
Rationale for "fair use" :
No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
Image is a promotional photograph, intended for wide distribution as publicity for the film.
Image is of considerably lower resolution than the original, and is used for informational purposes only. Its use does not detract from either the original photograph, or from the film itself.
Mate, He is at it again. [19] Is it possible to for some sort of block with his history [20] DXRAW 02:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I'm not going to take any direct action on this one. I think what's happening here is that DXDRAW is no longer assuming good faith. This is happening because Chadbryant has had a number of run-ins before, being blocked multiple times, and is blanking warnings from DXDRAW. Accusations of wikistalking don't help matters; leaving template warnings is not considered wikistalking. What I'd like to see is for both of you to ignore each other completely for 24 hours. Then for the next twenty four hours, the following: No template warnings from DXDRAW to Chadbryant but instead, if DXDRAW wants to leave a warning, leave a hand-written warning explaining what was done incorrectly and what you'd do differently in order not to get a warning. And Chadbryant to leave the message in tact, not blanked, and to assume that DXDRAW is correct and try to understand what he is saying. After that 24 hours are up, you are free to go about your business. What I hope this accomplishes is to sort of hit the reset button here. I'm not investigating further at this point because really, the best way to resolve conflicts like this is not to determine who is right, it's to step back a bit. I know in my experience, I've sometimes had to step back for a bit even though I knew I was in the right, and I've found it really does help matters. If you two would be willing to try something like this, please respond on my talk page indicating your agreement. This isn't something I'm going to enforce so please feel free to tell me to bug off. But I think it is worth a shot. -- Yamla 03:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
DXRAW needs to be informed that non-notable (and obscure) pro wrestling references are not encyclopedic, and that he can not intentionally mislead others by labeling their removal as "vandalism" or "blanking". - Chadbryant 03:40, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Boss, these pix were already uploaded on WP. What made them copyvio? Please, advise. - Aditya Kabir 18:03, 8 November 2006 (UTC) - please, answer to my talk page.
Please, answer. I am afraid of what you might do to me if I revert your last edit to the article. But, since the images on the gallery have a wide variety of licensing, I think you could remove some of the images, and let alone the gallery itself. Instead you used a blanket edit. Besides, I wonder - if there's something like a "copyvio gallery"? I have heard only of copyvio images. Please, answer. Your not answering has already been reaseon for much heartache for me (check for your silence and my inquiry and your silence and my heartache if you want). Please. Or, do I revert your edit in good faith? - Aditya Kabir 18:28, 8 November 2006 (UTC) - please, answer to my talk page.
Acknowledged. But, I think there are many screenshots on the articles in Category:Indian actors used beyond the scope of "identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents". That led me to believe that those can be used to "identify and depict a person". Sorry for the misunderstanding. But, a more stringent standard may be required to keep keep copyright violation (as well as misunderstanding) at bay. - Aditya Kabir 18:54, 8 November 2006 (UTC) - please, answer to my talk page, but please do not quote me whole.

Hey, since your good on talk pages I have a question. If a user has comments on his/her talk page and they decide to delete them because their conversations are "finished", does that give them the right to delete all the comments? Or if a user who left comments previously, has now been blocked, can they delete those comments? I thought you could only archive comments not delete them, because just deleting them is page blanking. Thanks. -- Mikedk9109 (talk) 22:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
The edit summary for my removal of a comment left by " CraigMonroe" mentioned absolutely nothing about "vandalism" (see [22]). This user account is relatively new, yet is well-versed in Wikipedia, which combined with the account's claims and stance on editing issues is a clear sign that it is a sockpuppet/meatpuppet being employed by the camp of wrestling marks who have been Wikistalking me for much of the last two months. Please take the time to read what I have actually written before you pass judgement. - Chadbryant 02:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I am well aware of what the content of the external links section should contain, having read WP:EL already. Under WP:EL it states: On articles about topics with many fansites, including a link to one major fansite may be appropriate, marking the link as such. All of the articles I added such links to are articles with many fansites. I added a link to one major fansite and marked it as one.

As you said in your message to me regarding this topic, the image does not appear on the site, this is not entirely true, yes it does not appear on www.dancingwithsara.com but it does appear on a subpage:
http://www.dancingwithsara.com/MeetSara/tabid/57/Default.aspx
I have changed the image information to reflect that, is it now settled?
Faris b 23:22, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, but I'm not up on all these terms and such, if it's not promotional, what would you call it then? Can you at least try to work with me on this instead of poo pooing everything when I try to help? No offense intended. What would you call it? Music sample or something rather? Sara Evans doesn't have any photo gallery on any of her sites, so I figured that was a promo image in a way.
Faris b 23:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Fine, I understand your're angle now, but I'm sure your familiar with the user Ebegoun, he's been blocked at least twice for uploading images all the time, I've had talks with him and he won't listen, personally, I was fine with the old, old image that's been on the page forever but he keeps putting current ones that he's finding on google and listing several sites as the copyright holders when they aren't, I did this in an attempt to at least find one correct image and have it stay that way, as he keeps doing this and I'm tired of seeing the page with 1 pic for a few days then it's gone the next, I did this in an attempt to stop all these deletes from happening.
Also, why do we even need to fuss with all these liscensings? It's for an encyclopedia so why do we need it? It's not like we're priting out the images and selling them so why does it affect that site?
I though so, so why not block Ebegoun permanently? He doesn't strike me as the type to learn from past mistakes.
Ok, well, that's complicated I'm sure, but why does Wiki want to burn DVD's with images and sell them? That sounds kind of odd to me.
Faris b 23:43, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Ok, well, how many more blocks does he have left before the last one? Just wondering.
Really? Just about everyone has internet these days it seems, who are these who don't have it? So, is it a DVD of just images or complete off line web pages?

Thanks for bringing that to my attention Yamla, but I must admit I don't quite understand the reason why the "promo" tag doesn't cover this image. Yes, it isn't in a press kit, but it is used to promote the sale of the costume on probably a dozen or more websites, and therefore seems to conform to "advertising" in my opinion. I did provide a link to one of these websites, which I think does qualify as providing evidence of its source. I would appreciate it if you could clarify this issue. Thanks again. -- Grandpafootsoldier 17:52, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

There was no reason to revert my edit to this image. It didn't have a fair use rational, and was flagged as such, so I added part of the equation using the character-artwork template. Just because someone edits Wikipedia sans username does not mean they are not familiar with its policies, are "testing", or vandalizing. 71.240.9.37 22:28, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Yamla! Thanxs for the heads-up. I added an additional source for the image, along with a small rational.

TV Squad is no more commercial of a website than several other links listed in the 'External links' section of the House (TV Series) page.

I did not blank the image from the Shakira page, someone entered a dead link to an image that does not exist, I simply removed the dead link from that page. Should I refrain from removing dead links from now on?

In some of it there isn't fair use rationales because its use are obvious. (Well, more than a half images I see here don´t have a fair use rationale too, and that images ARE there) You asked me before about information of two images, I responded what you asked me, you said nothing about it, I thought it was satisfactory. What´s the problem now?
As I rode about the proceeding ways for administrators here, you can't block users this way, wasn´t it an abuse?

Thanks for uploading Image:KristannaLoken2.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use.

Hi, Yamla. I noticed you're aware of User:Machocarioca's behaviour lately. I have been removing screenshots he adds to movies articles to (according to him) make them look better. But he keeps reverting it. I'm at one reversion to violate the three reversion rule in the articles Shakespeare in Love, As Good as It Gets and Good Will Hunting. Currently, only Shakespeare in Love needs a reversion as it has two random screenshots floating around the text. If it's not ask you too much, I'd like you to turn your attention to these articles (and, of course, apply your own judgement and not mine on them).
I regret having accepted to chat in Portugues with this user's as it's now hader to my to quote his ideas about unfree image use.
Thanks in advance for your attention, and soory if I disturbing you too much. Best regards, -- Abu Badali 03:17, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
Since I couldn't find the copyright holder, I added fair use rationales to the image. Are these acceptable? =D Jumping cheese Contact 08:18, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

That's that we have a policy against picture gallery links. But could you tell me where that is? PedanticallySpeaking 17:18, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Hmmm. Im guessing you are new to this.
The source: from their music video. Which is fairplay. Rationale: most artists featured on this site have a photo. so i added a fair use image.
Please refrain from vandalising further sites, as this causes problems for other users. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soladee ( talk • contribs)

I agree.....but what about the pictures of me i had on my user page?
actually they were..... 0111 22:47, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
I've posted input on many diverse issues and my input was mostly good, but sometimes bad..For bad input I expect to be penalised.. fair one.
It annoys me however to see the good input from many users deleted and to be replaced by the most biased unqualified cant...Which is allowed to stand, even though it is against the guidelines that you purport to uphold here.
If you want examples you can have them.
Should it be your intention to alienate users here, who are capable and willing to provide valuable input, simply on the basis of the fact that they may not be be familar - down to the last details, with the "rules and regulations"- Then I must take this opportunity to congratulate you.
You will also forgive me for saying that your moderation Yamla, seems to have more to do with your own desire to express your personal self importance, than to address the relevant issues in hand.
You may now use your considerable powers to punish me for expressing my opinion on the failure of the moderation here to either have a clear consistent procedural concept, or to be capable of following and implementing their own rules and regulations.-- Nighthawkx15 23:49, 14 September 2006 (UTC)Nighthawk

Why did you delete the picture from Mila Kunis? There was an image in there a few days ago that got deleted for copyright violation.

About Galactic Civilizations 2 and your erasing my improvements
Dear Yamla: I'm sure I'm not doing this in the proper format but just wanted to leave you a note about your reversal of my additions to the Galactic Civilizations 2 page. What happened to the 'Good Faith' revision policy I keep seeing? I revised the page in good faith and made TWO changes.
The first was to link to a website (civfantics.com, which is NOT mine as you incorrectly assumed and has a wiki page of its own) that has a good forum where gamers discuss gameplay issues, strategy, problems, and similar topics. I was trying to help. If this is against policy, I understand, but maybe you could have actually followed the link and seen it led to a legitimately helpful site. The site I linked to is also a link from the galciv.com homepage as linked on the wiki page too.
My second change was deleted, unfairly, without reason except apparently guilt by association. Can you tell me why you deleted it? The criticisms section referenced problems with the original game issue and talked them being fixed in the beta 1.1 bug fix. The game is currently two fixes past that, on the 1.3 version. I didn't erase the criticism, just mentioned the newer update. WHY DID YOU ERASE THIS CHANGE???
I'm going to re-change my second modification back. Please either leave it alone or give me a reason I shouldn't mention the most current bug fix that is available.
Remember 'Good Faith'? That's me, and I hope you show it too. :)
User: 71.82.13.210 deleted, as in the contents, of Footmen Frenzy. See if you can block him. I've already asked you once, but I think I have the so called "duty" just to report again for the hell of it. Thanks -- Adam Wang 21:33, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

My edits to the Elephant page have been repeatedly reverted, even though they are important. Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report has tried to get users to make false statements on the Elephant page, and it is important that others are aware of this so they can correct vandelism. People interested in the worldwide status of Elephants want to know whether their population has increased or decreased and whether certain individauls are spreading rumors about them
206.172.38.200 is the IP for the Lambton-Kent District School board, or at least I think it is. It might only be for a certain part of the area or only for St. Clair Secondary School. I know this because all of the computers in the school have the same IP, and are all blocked from editing, unless I'm logged on. I, personally, am not sure whether Schools should actually be allowed to ever edit Wikipedia, as they are full of jerks who think this is just some site. I just wanted to let you know.

Yamla, I recently visited the Image:Asinac.JPG page and I've noticed that someone has replaced it back in the article. Does this mean it will still be deleted?

I'm not sure about the copyright status, but looking at the information I've given you, what do you think? Thanks alot! Polo246 02:50, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you left a final warning on User talk:Cholga. I'm curious as to why you left so severe a warning when this was a user's first vandalism warning. While the edits were certainly unconstructive, I don't know that they warranted a {{ test4}}, especially given that the edits were to an article's talk page and he/she had no previous vandalism warnings. The user has made a few mistakes (posting a message on a user page instead of a talk page; bordering on violating WP:CIVIL in an AFD discussion) but those shouldn't affect the vandalism warning process. Could you enlighten me, please? -- Merope Talk 19:26, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

With regards to Terminatrix.jpg image, I never uploaded it. It was uploaded by User:Iam. I simply just used the picture on Kristanna Loken's profile.
I feel this is unfair considering i never upload the image, surely shouldn't the person who uploaded the picture be blocked, not myself. If I knew there was problems i wouldn't have used it. I was only trying to update a page.
Can I just have you discussed the copyright situation with User:Iam who originally uploaded the image or is it only me who was punished for using a picture that I had no idea of the copyright issues as I never uploaded to Wikipedia?
I did not see your responds to me at Abu Badali talk page [2] before changing the copyright, if I did I would have known that was not the correct copyright and would have removed it. Regards Mallaccaos 20 September 2006

Hi, Yamla. I'm here again to ask for your help in communicating to User:Dionyseus (remember the last time?). He have been for some reverting, withouth much discussion, my editions to:
After noticing that communication through edit summaries was not taking us anywhere, I've left him some messages, explaining my views on the issues. But he prefered to blank my messages from his talk page with the Edit Summary: "rv to last version by Ivan. Abu's messages aren't welcomed in my talk page.". And after that, went on to rv my editions to these four articles.
Now I noticed he has also reverted my (image related) editions to Johnny Depp [3] (use of screenshot to illustrate actor), Hudson Leick [4] (use of image with a long history of improper licensing) and even Wikipedia:Fair use [5] (reverting my reversion).
Maybe a message from you would be more "welcomed" on his talk page. And of course, as the other times, I understand you will use your own judgment in each of the cases, and I'll not simply expect you to agree with me in all my opinions. What's really important here is to stop the edit war.
Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards, -- Abu Badali 13:41, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Nice job being totally wrong about my edit to House, MD -- It's not my Web site I linked to, and it's not spam. That Web site is useful as an external link, cataloguing all the music used on the series by episode and scene. And by the way, I am one of the original editors to that article, and have probably added more text to that article than anyone on Wikipedia. So looks like you were wrong on all counts. 69.142.21.24 19:27, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

Hi Yamla, I've noticed that you've been asking for sources and fair use rationales etc, so I'm thinking if you can't answer my question..... I don't know who can. There are several images in Nelson Eddy that are down as being GFDL but very obviously are promophotos/music sheets. Whatever they are, I'm sure they're not GFDL. What would be the correct tag to put on them to get them reviewed and/or deleted? I've looked everywhere I can think of but can't find anything I could use, and I'm sure I've seen such a tag used somewhere in the past. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Might I ask what images have been problematic -- and moreover, what recent addition triggered this?? I know of only one instance ( Image:WCCO Logo (2006).gif) where I was the original uploader and lacked essential information. In other instances, the images would have been deleted anyway, (e.g., Image:Marybell.gif). The only reason I was editing them was to remove things such as excessive borders, drop shadows or paddding -- I can't add source information if I am not the user who provided the image. Thank you.

I appreciate the herculian effort you put into keeping the WP nice, clean and fair, as is probaly amply rewarded by the many citations and awards you have recieved, not to mention the thank you notes. But, it would be more appreciable, I think, if this effort was nice, clean and fair on the people submits stuff (in this case I'm talking about myself).
I have noticed that you have removed all of the Jazmin pictures, got the all of the portraits deleted (not knowing the WP policies clearly I couldn't do much about it, but I'd still say that sometimes the policies may require a bti of explanation, not just pointing to a labyrinthyne policy page). And, now same has happened to the DVD covers, under the rationale you have provided ("License requires detailed fair-use rationale, not provided.").
Now, I would like to forward a few words on that:
Yours sincerely - Aditya Kabir 14:53, 25 September 2006 (UTC) - please, reply on my talk page.
I'm sorry, I actually didn't mean to delete the warnings. I wasn't trying to be mean, and I'm sorry if I came off as rude.

Test Yamla, I notice that you have problems with a couple of my recent edits. In fact, I'm beginning to think you have some kind of personal problem with me. Firstly, I edited the Thandie Newton article to include the FACT that her mother is a princess. This does not come from my original research. It is a widely reported fact. I am happy to provide a citation, in fact citations are all over the internet and in pretty much every interview she has ever done. But why are you acting like this is some kind of obscure item that I made up? Also, regarding Precious Williams, this woman is one of the best known journalists in England - as I said in my edit, far more noteable than Baz Bamigboye and others you have chosen not to delete! The book that she contributed a short story IS on Amazon and if you had really done a search on Amazon, you would have seen it. Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Sex-Sensibility-Romances-Lives-Single/dp/0743483030/sr=8-3/qid=1159311819/ref=sr_1_3/102-3202160-7576906?ie=UTF8&s=books
And here is just one of the articles that cites Thandie being the daughter of a Zimbabwean Shona Princess http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2005/08/05/bfthandie05.xml Igbogirl 23:13, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
Can you provide some citations for us, confirming that Baz Bamigboye has "received multiple independent reviews of or awards." I have searched everywhere and could find none. I asked around, nobody I know has even heard of him apart from one journalist friend in England who says she once read an article he wrote for the Daily Mail and that it was "drivel". So, please provide citations. Ciao —Preceding unsigned comment added by Igbogirl ( talk • contribs)

Yamala,
I am unclear why it is not okay to post links to my video websites, blastro, yallwire, and roxwel, on music artist pages. All my sites have quality news and videos regarding these artists. MTV runs ads on their site, yet their links don't seem to be "SPAM". Can you please explain how my site is not a valid resource for information/video for these artists. I have read wikipedia's guidelines and I am still unclear. I appreciate your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.44.118.175 ( talk • contribs)

I wondered why you removed these links as "Spam" from The Fray page:
The First one is The Fray's Official Myspace which people can hear music from. The second is a very imfomative fansite, from which a lot of the original artical information came from (including the information on Movement and Reason) as well as the webmaster (me...which is why I am asking) checks all the information on The Fray articles to make sure they are completly accurate. So I'm wonering why it was labeled Spam.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frayawaytheedges ( talk • contribs)
Also could you tell me how do I reference to a webpage?
And how does one cite primary information? I know the guys of The Fray, so all the information I have to add is what they have told me directly and I don't know how to cite that to prove it's authenticity.
I wasn't reverting you. I started editing the old version before and I guess the software merged it together oddly. I was fixing the way the ip had added the picture (with the frame). Sorry about that. The picture should go and I should have checked the history. Broken Segue 20:30, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Its not like a georgetown university or a cambridge university where the college has everything copyrighted. I have a question: why are you so concerned about me uploading my college pictures ? Iam sure there are lots of other people duplicating. Go and correct them. And iam writing this once again, dont bother me. If this goes on, iam going to say bye to wikipedia and you know thats it is a loss to the community. This is the last reply for you.. Bye wikipedia .
Good Bye and good luck

I had them up before, but someone took them off. So I added them back. The article is constantly being vandalized and being edited poorly by unregistered users. If I did the wrong tag, then could you put the correct ones on? -Frank- 21:07, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Oh, I didn't know that. Thank you for the help. -Frank- 21:11, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
You previously blocked this user on Sept 27th for 48 hours. Since he has returned on Sept 29th he has made several nonsense edits and some blankings I am in the course of reverting. Perhaps you would consider re-blocking him for a longer period. -- Rrburke 23:12, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
In a previous discussion on your page, I was looking for directions on what to do about the Jazmin picture that got removed from the article page. If they remain orphaned for a long time, they'll get removed from WP altogether. I still think we can put them back to the page, and remove the complains against them. And, I am still waiting for your answer. Currently I am under the impression that you are not as quick in providing directions as you are in removing pictures. Please, let's start talking reasons now. - Aditya Kabir 13:43, 5 October 2006 (UTC) - please, reply on my talk page.
Earlier you wrote that you need some more time to respond to my questions and arguments (see previous discussion). But, since then 10 days have passed, and you have answered to 24 other talks. I posted again, and you prefer to ignore it again, and move on to other talks. How much longer would it take for you to come up with an answer? Please, let me know at least that.
Obviously I can put the pictures back and put the argument I forwarded on the discussion pages for the images. But, I am afraid some ruthless and insensitive editor may again put them out.
Do I do what I think is best?
And, may be put the images back where they were?
Or, do I wait endlessly for you to respond?
And, may be get the orphaned images deleted?
You flaunt complex policies at my face and I ask for directions. You keep silent and I do my own research through the policies and precedence on WP, and you again keep silent. Just because you have been here longer, is more active and have won stars and a management position you can't do this to people. Democracy doesn't work that way. I am really frustrated now. Yours sincerely Aditya Kabir 07:56, 6 October 2006 (UTC) - please, reply on my talk page.
So, finally the images got deleted.
And, you still haven't answered.
I have nothing to say to you.
I hope your attitude doesn't go universal.
Your sincerely Aditya Kabir 16:24, 10 October 2006 (UTC) (I'm not asking again to reply on my talk page, I know for sure you'll never reply.)
Yamla, Recently we have moved our site to a new domain and so I have been going through the Wiki pages that either cite our page or have links and updating it. In doing so I have changed the URL. In most if not all of the cases this has caused you to completely remove these as spam. Example would be the FLAC page. The site I run is informational and no $ is made from the site and so I dont understand why it is being viewed as spam after being on these Wiki pages for anywhere from 6 monthes to a year without any problems. Becuase the goal of our site is to inform existing and new users to lossless audio Wiki is a great place for the site to be linked. Just trying to understand. Thanks Windmiller 16:08, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Yamla, Right after I posted this I noticed your post on my page. Thanks for taking the time to explain, much appreciated! Its good to know that people like you are fighting splogs, spam, etc. on Wiki. I will certainly take your advice we well as being more selective about which pages I attempt to be linked from. I will try with only the ones where I have seen alot of users benefit from the link like the FLAC page. Again thanks for the clarification!!

Thanks for uploading Image:Jayne mansfield fuzzy bikini.jpg. I notice the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this file yourself, then there needs to be a justification explaining why we have the right to use it on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you did not create the file yourself, then you need to specify where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.
If the file also doesn't have a copyright tag, then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{ GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{ Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yamla 15:16, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

I'm getting sick of this user, his is doing the exact same thing that you felt the need to block me for twice! yet nothing is ever done to him. This picture [8] does not include all the stuff you demarded i put on it, i have even put a tag on it saying and he reverts it and doesnt add nothing, and no-one says anything yet when i done it i got blocked. This user was blocked because of breaking the 3RR and yet the second it ended his back to making the same edits. His saying this picture isn't allowed [9] yet you said it was competely fine now, so this user is basically saying his right and your wrong.

Hi, I saw you recently had a run in with User:Chadbryant. I had been having problems with a new editor, Twentyboy, who was filling article talk pages with chiy-chat. Looking through his contributions, I came across a link between these users:
I have a suspicion that after being blocked for a week for repeated violation of 3RR, Chad continued editing under the name twentyboy. My reasoning:
Now if you look at their contribs, you'll see that they're both editing the same articles, but never at the same time.
I went to ANI, and they told me to go to checkuser. So I did. I was told that this wasn't worthy of a checkuser, because 3RR blocks are not "community based blocks", whatever that means. This means I can't really prove they're the same, but the evidence seems pretty overwhelming.
Do you have any ideas as to what I should do? I agree that I'm reacting rather strongly, but I don't like to think that someone could get away with this, and I can't find the right place to report it. Being an admin, maybe you know of another place to report this. Thanks. yandman 07:36, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
It's cool. Thank you! I didn't even know you could make a sockpuppet until you told me about it. LoL! I certainly wouldn't ever try it. I don't even know how. Watch it though, you may tell someone with bad character about sockpuppets and he may learn how to do it. I certainly won't. I hope you don't mind if I erase my ranting as I don't want to make anyone look bad. :) 65.31.99.71 18:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you, but would you mind keeping an eye on Twentyboy? He seems upset that I told him that his comment on The Undertaker's talk page was irrelevant, and that I told him ignoring critics isn't wise. You reverted all of the attacks that he made, but I would like to keep him from vandalizing some of the pages I'm working on. If you can it would be much appreciated. Cheers T H L 19:03, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
I refuse to get into further argument with Yandman. I thought Yamla, that you said he had said thank you or something but he is still harassing me. Not only has he got me blocked, but now he refuses to quit harassing me. Anyway, I'd much appreciate it if you would get the user to leave me alone. And the user TH has accused me of being upset with him for correcting him on a spelling error he made. I suggest to the two of you to leave it alone, leave me alone, and go about your business. Thankyou! Twentyboy 20:34, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
Alright, I had never accused Twentyboy of being a sockpuppet, and he started getting really defensive about it. In my last edit on his talk page, I told him what I think. Could you please deal with him? I'm willing to drop it if he is, but he doesn't seem willing. Please help. Cheers. T H L 09:21, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

You're becoming a serious pest when it comes to these images. Back the fuck off. ( 64.12.116.70 19:04, 13 October 2006 (UTC))
Some of the images you have tagged for deletion have not necessarily needed to be tagged as such. I'm not saying all of them, but some of them have a clear fair-use rationale on them. Take Image:SpongeSeason 1.jpg for example: it is clearly a DVD cover, and it is marked as such, but you put a {{no rationale}} tag on it. I'm just asking you to be careful, as taking out fair-use images won't help anything. I'm not trying to be confrontational, just trying to point something out. - Patstuart 20:45, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
No, that is provided very clearly provided with the tags. That's the reason the tags exist. If it is not provided with a tag, or the tag is clearly wrong, then it may be deleted. But if the tag is clear, and the image fits the description, that is enough. Trust me on this one. - Patstuart 20:52, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, this is the best I can do: I'll first mention anecdotal evidence. I think anecdotal is important, because of the policy leaves any gray room, it's important to look at how it's been done in the past: Anecodotal:
Policy:
I'm not saying that if it's not obvious, or if there appears to be a bad tag, then not to provide the no rationale tag. But some of these are obvious, and I hope some of the policy and reasoning I've provided can help us agree on the issue. - Patstuart 21:20, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, every place I've contributed, everything reverted. I spent a lot of time making contributions and you went and reverted everything. A whole bunch of stuff. It looks like you may have just pressed an undo button of everything I did because there's no basis of reverting it. This stuff I'm looking at is not vandalism at all. Without getting all the information to figure out if I was a sockpuppet, you not only blocked me but reverted all of my edits to? I can't even go back and change it because I would be changing a lot of work other writers have done here at wikipedia too. And it would be like doing what you did to me, to others. No offense or anything, but a good administrator looks into a situation without taking sides. I've basically wasted a lot of time here because of all the reversions on top of being accused of being a sockpuppet. Still and all, nothing was done to the people who erroneously accused me of being a sockpuppet. I really wish there was a bit more justice here at wikipedia! 65.31.99.71 22:19, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Since when has this been about. Now i think this is a stupid thing to do. There is no free images of randy orton or many people. How are people going to know what people look like now if no picture is allow. Seriously wikipedia is starting to become a joke. Lil crazy thing 17:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
But no-one has released any iamges to use, so untill someone uploads one of there pictures personally to use then there isn't none. I know theres google but when you come to a page and see information on there you dont want to have to go throught google and search them just to see a picture. This policy is going over the top, if all these policies are coming to light then i think wikipedia should stop all uploading of images. I know you have nothing to do with it but i really feel wikipedia is starting to go to far, if this policy is going to be used then about 80% of pictures on wikipedia will go un-needingly. I have replace the tag on that picture to the one the other tag has said to put. Lil crazy thing 17:54, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Images break up pages and i find it so horrible to just look at a page full of text without nothign breaking it up. It maybe easy to do for someone who has personally taken a picture of him to upload, i have plenty of pictures from friends they have taken but they can't be used if i upload them as there not mine. Whoever owns wikipedia should suspend all uploading of images at this rate, cos that what this tag basically is, if it isnt free it wont be allowed and most pictures on here aren't free, go to all wrestlers pages and actors and singers etc etc and nearly all pictures arent free. i really think this is getting silly now with all these policies. Lil crazy thing 18:02, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
i have told you and told you and told you, there is NO free images of him on the internet UNTIL someone actually uploads one of there images they took then there is no free images, also please do not go around the pages and add this tag to just the pictures i've uploaded on the wrestlers pages. i have put the other tag on the page which it states to do when i believe a free iamge cannot be found and reading the other tag i think its very reasonable. Just because his a sort of public person doesnt mean its easy to get a free picture of him, because it isn't unless someone actually uplaods a picture and no one has so it isn't possible Lil crazy thing 14:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
So wikiepdia basically expects people to stalk famous people to get a free image. No where do it say what your saying, what your saying is your thoughts on it. There is no free images of Randy Orton therefore no free iamges can be uploaded or created at the moment because there is none, when a free image comes avalible then it gets change but there IS NONE. I'm also getting sick of you just adding this tag only to the wrestling images ive uploaded, you always do this, do you get some kick out of singling people out yet again cos that what your doing on the wrestling pages, just singling me out and my images and no one elses. I stick by what i say and i will continue to change that tag because that tag is to be put there when there is a dispute over an image, so i'm actually following what the tag says Lil crazy thing 15:06, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, I think that assertion is your POV, not a rule. This WP:FUC says clearly: Also, if the subject of the photograph still exists, a free photograph could be taken, even though it may be difficult. This is a recomendation, it´s not forbidden. There's no free image for Eva Green. And there's not a rule: "Upload image of living people under fair use is forbbiden". Right?
Fair Use rules are clear, as I know: Promotional material - for an image freely provided to promote an item. Well, the image is promoting Casino Royale and the character Vesper Lynd, performed by Eva Green, as in the caption. Otherwise, I couldn't understand your point. Before upload that image of Eva Green, I saw many (most) images of living people under fair use tag here, specially actors and actresses, some of them uploaded by administrators. Why aren't deleted? Could I say what you have done reverting the image was vandalism based in POV? Caravaggio31 07:01, 20 October 2006 (UTC)Caravaggio31

Hi Yamla, would you mind rolling back [13]? I've reverted today's with popups, but it's rather slow, and from what I gather, you have a faster tool. Is there a way we can automatically remove any links to that site? User is a serial linkspammer, but was not given a final warning until today, so I've not listed him at wp:vandal. Yet. yandman 09:50, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
Dear Yamla, you see, I've been editing this page for a film called Sainikudu. User:Thamizhan keeps reverting my edits without giving reasons. He removed them at first claiming POV but there was no POV at all. He then said the info there was unsourced. I've already provided citations, but he keeps doing it. Plus, his language during his edit summaries are really rude. Here are examples : [14] [15]. I'm really trying to avoid an edit war here so I'd really appreciate if you could have a word with him.

I don't believe there is going to be a problem then, as long as the pictures are used for a character profile, not an actors, and i give full details of copyright then? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.65.121.103 ( talk • contribs)
But Ciara is known by only her first name! There are also other persons (like Madonna, Prince...) in the category "People known by single-name pseudonyms". Well, maybe there should be a category for the people known by only their first name like Ciara?

Image does not violate fair use policy. Please cite the policy. The actress is the actress, regardless of roles. Bastiq▼e demandez 18:15, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Fair use means that an image, one image, may be used to illustrate an article in question. In the case of an actress, portrayal of a character if another, more free image is not available. Bastiq▼e demandez 18:19, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed you tagged Image:Accepted Original Motion Picture Soundtrack.jpg with {{ nrd}}. Is there a specific concern that you had? It is tagged with {{ cdcover}}, which itself contains a fair use rationale, namely, that the image is used "soley to illustrate the audio recording in question". With DVD covers, CD covers, etc, the rationale is usually considered to be obvious and the vast majority don't have anything above and beyond the tag. I looked at the page where this image is used and didn't see a problem with it. Is there a specific concern that you had? BigDT 21:09, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

You have got to be kidding me. Image:VanessaV.jpg is a copyrighted image, it is also, however, the cover art for V (Vanessa Hudgens album), where it was used explicitly for purposes of identification. The fair use rationale for cover albums - all cover albums - is spelled out in Template:Albumcover, the improper usage of this image would be to illustrate the artist Vanessa Hudgens on her article. Now I understand that you may be trying to impose a draconian standard of redundant rationales in album cover art images, but posting a warning that accuses me of violating Wikipedia policy on copyrights is a bit less polite than asking me to provide a more detailed rationale. It is also plain incorrect as Wikipedia fair use policy allows for the use of cover art images to identify and illustrate music albums. ˉˉ anetode ╦╩ 15:57, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Yamla, I know I havent been the best wiki editor, since I've been banned twice by you for image licensing, well that isnt intentional for I'm still trying to learn how to license, the wikipedia articles are helpful but confusing.It seems tho that you have a problem with the Stacy Ferguson page having a better, more recent default.We all know Fergie is known for her looks and how she doesn't care to mention that in her songs, My Humps and Fergalicious. So the picture for her page is very bad example of what many people know her for and just a old picture. I understand it cant be copyrighted and all but if you go to other peoples pages as for example, Danity Kane, and Kevin Federline, their pictures are either promotional or an album cover, when fans of fergie try to upload those, its reverted or changed, if they license it wrong i understand, but i put a promotional pic of her up and licened it under fair use images, just as the danity kane pic, mine was rev and i was banned for another day.it seems as if you either are hard on people trying to put a new pic up of her on there or just hard on newcomers period, you've discouaraged people to edit on here and i just think you need a better apporach, i mean come on, its a online encyclopedia, you have to shun people if they accidently put the wrong license under a picture, "OH HEAVENS!". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gregxscene ( talk • contribs)

Hi,
I can understand you removing the link to the Railroads! forums but you are doing the viewers a disservice. These forums are one of the very few places where people can discuss the game and it is the only place where people can discuss it in a 'Sid Meier's Railroads! theme'. There is no official forum for the game and this forum is a source for technical help (the game has quite a few problems) and user created content. Firaxis themselves are -active- participants here too, helping with tracking down bugs. This forum is needed because there is no other place where they can get direct customer support. Please consider leaving the link in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.160.207.66 ( talk • contribs)
Okay, if everybody is leaving comments on "my" discussion page, how come each person's "own" page says they're on profile or vacation? That's not the point though. Suppose I'm tired of Wikipedia in general. Is there a procedure by which my account (assuming at least that much is "mine" since it's the login and username assigned to me) can be removed, and "my" discussion page wiped and closed? I'm pretty much fed up with inaccuracies, BS, spurious warnings, edit reverts, biased entry deletions, and the general malady of believing that maintaining a user edited website results in a better encyclopedia when in fact any fact that changes on a day to day basis isn't much of a fact at all.

I'd like to register some sort of formal complaint against you. How do I do this? Your behaviour today has been utterly over the top and a complete abuse of your position as an administrator. Blocking me was an explicitily punitive measure, undertaken in an extremely high-handed manner after only three good-faith attempts at an edit by me.

Hi Yamla, I was wondering if I could ask you about the new rules regarding images... I've read some of the pages regarding fair use, but I don't quite get it--what's up now sounds really flexible to me, and doesn't make sense. Is it legal to use screen captures from video? Is it legal to use an image that was used in promotion, i.e. an image used on a promotional poster for a record that was displayed in record stores? Thanks in advance for any tips!

I don't think anything I removed was a warning,either here, or here. I was going on this advice from an administrator saying I could remove anything I want. You say if I feel I am the victim of a personal attack, I should request an administrator's attention; I'd appreciate it if you looked into my case; it is incredibly clear from my talk page history, that DXRAW has been getting at me without reason ever since I joined. Please see the multitude of templates he posted here only days after I joined, and then his complete refusal to explain them here or here. Since our paths have not crossed on any article since, there is no reason that, over a month later, that he would be reading my talk page in the first place unless he just wanted to cause trouble.

What is the official rule of thumb for an official myspace.com link on a bio of a person? In the past I put a link to Torrie Wilson's official myspace.com page on Torrie Wilson and you reverted it citing "Removed myspace link as per WP:EL". I finally accepted that and have in fact removed several myspace.com links myself citing the same reference from other pages.
Yesterday I removed one from Jenna Jameson and I got a message from Wikipedia user, AnonEMouse, stating, " Wikipedia:External links, it writes "Except where noted, this list does not override the list of what should be linked. For example, if the subject of an article has an official website, then it should be linked even if it contains factually inaccurate material." Therefore, the official Myspace site of the person the article is about should be linked."

This is a good question, what is Wikipedia's official stance towards myspace links? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laetnej ( talk • contribs)
My reading of the policy has always been that MySpace links are inappropriate unless the article specifically mentions the MySpace page itself. Even if they are official links. Rereading WP:EL, however, I'm not sure this is what is intended. There are really three possibilities. The first, I've already mentioned. The second would be that if the only official page about a person (or band) was the MySpace page, it may be acceptable then. The third would be that a MySpace link is appropriate whenever it is an official page. I'll try to see what the consensus is on the discussion page for WP:EL. Thanks for bringing this to my attention and I'm sorry if I caused either of you any troubles. -- Yamla 19:47, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Greetings Yamla. The reason I am writing to you is to notify you regarding film articles User:Thamizhan has created regarding the actor Madhavan. I've searched and searched the whole net but I've yet to find a single article which mentions these films. Also, I am an avid followers of websites regarding Hindi language films and Tamil language films and I have not seen an article on these websites which gives mention to these films. Examples of these articles are : Yaaravan Nalam, Hello Zindagi, Aaval and Ivan Yaaro. Also note that all these articles provide the same trivia, that is that these so called "films" are being shot at a budget of Rs. 30 million and these articles have been created on the same day. These articles have also been created in a mere gap of 13 minutes, which is bound to raise suspicion.
Also, the entire article regarding the actor in question, Madhavan, has not been written in a neutral point of view. All the images on this article shouldn't even be there as they infringe on copyrights. I implore you to look into this matter. Thank you. -- Visual planet 17:51, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

I uploaded the Ghilli image because it was a promotional image by the movie makers, and no other suitable image was availble in the public domain. If you see the images files of many other movies, only this rationality is used. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Balajiviswanathan ( talk • contribs)
Rationale for "fair use" :
No free or public domain images have been located for this film.
Image is a promotional photograph, intended for wide distribution as publicity for the film.
Image is of considerably lower resolution than the original, and is used for informational purposes only. Its use does not detract from either the original photograph, or from the film itself.
Mate, He is at it again. [19] Is it possible to for some sort of block with his history [20] DXRAW 02:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I'm not going to take any direct action on this one. I think what's happening here is that DXDRAW is no longer assuming good faith. This is happening because Chadbryant has had a number of run-ins before, being blocked multiple times, and is blanking warnings from DXDRAW. Accusations of wikistalking don't help matters; leaving template warnings is not considered wikistalking. What I'd like to see is for both of you to ignore each other completely for 24 hours. Then for the next twenty four hours, the following: No template warnings from DXDRAW to Chadbryant but instead, if DXDRAW wants to leave a warning, leave a hand-written warning explaining what was done incorrectly and what you'd do differently in order not to get a warning. And Chadbryant to leave the message in tact, not blanked, and to assume that DXDRAW is correct and try to understand what he is saying. After that 24 hours are up, you are free to go about your business. What I hope this accomplishes is to sort of hit the reset button here. I'm not investigating further at this point because really, the best way to resolve conflicts like this is not to determine who is right, it's to step back a bit. I know in my experience, I've sometimes had to step back for a bit even though I knew I was in the right, and I've found it really does help matters. If you two would be willing to try something like this, please respond on my talk page indicating your agreement. This isn't something I'm going to enforce so please feel free to tell me to bug off. But I think it is worth a shot. -- Yamla 03:21, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Please, answer. I am afraid of what you might do to me if I revert your last edit to the article. But, since the images on the gallery have a wide variety of licensing, I think you could remove some of the images, and let alone the gallery itself. Instead you used a blanket edit. Besides, I wonder - if there's something like a "copyvio gallery"? I have heard only of copyvio images. Please, answer.

Acknowledged. But, I think there are many screenshots on the articles in Category:Indian actors used beyond the scope of "identification and critical commentary on the film and its contents". That led me to believe that those can be used to "identify and depict a person". Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Please give me your e-mail address, I've got serious problems. I need to contact you privatly. XXMad99ManXx 19:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
I just got on to help you with these images, so that at least pictures I uploaded would not become bothers. But, it seems you have again quickly deleted one more of the pictures I uploaded without even nofitying me. What went wrong? - Aditya Kabir 20:14, 8 November 2006 (UTC) - -- please, answer to my talk page
Hey, since your good on talk pages I have a question. If a user has comments on his/her talk page and they decide to delete them because their conversations are "finished", does that give them the right to delete all the comments? Or if a user who left comments previously, has now been blocked, can they delete those comments? I thought you could only archive comments not delete them, because just deleting them is page blanking. Thanks. -- Mikedk9109 (talk) 22:17, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
The edit summary for my removal of a comment left by " CraigMonroe" mentioned absolutely nothing about "vandalism" (see [22]). This user account is relatively new, yet is well-versed in Wikipedia, which combined with the account's claims and stance on editing issues is a clear sign that it is a sockpuppet/meatpuppet being employed by the camp of wrestling marks who have been Wikistalking me for much of the last two months. Please take the time to read what I have actually written before you pass judgement. - Chadbryant 02:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I have the Promotional image tags in there, is that what you meant? I don't understand what other tags I'm supposed to add on it. Thanks. ( Bishusui 04:21, 9 November 2006 (UTC))
I cannot contact you privately because there is a problem, you see. Here, I gave you a link [23] and please give me advices. There has to be another way to contact you privately. XXMad99ManXx 10:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
I saw you reverted an edit to my talk page. Why can't I remove it? I didn't think it was a warning. Is there a rule against removing anything from a talk page? Thanks. CraigMonroe 15:01, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Well, thanks for your comprehension. If there are any further problems, I'll log myself in again. XXMad99ManXx 17:41, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Do you think you can tell me how to upload images such as album covers, photos, etc.? I read the instructions and they are confusing. Thanks. Admc2006 19:17, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
Why did you delete the Just Another Rich Kid page? I'm a New York artist who should be included on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwcourtney ( talk • contribs)
I was wondering, as you seem to be experienced at Wiking. How is someone blocked. There is a specific page that is close to me that is being constanly vandalised, and I feel certain people should not be able to access th page. Can you help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Longbranch ( talk • contribs)
I'm not allowed to edit at my hom because it says my ip adress is blocked, please reply back soon. DustinWayne
How is this page not advertising? I dont see the distinction here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_Life_of_Words —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kwcourtney ( talk • contribs)
