Wow, what a turn of events over the last 7 months. Does the current Hello World source code look familiar to you? http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=C%2B%2B&oldid=126469503. I was harassed, insulted, and even banned for trying to improve the quality of the C++ article with this exact code 7 months ago, and now that it is finally accepted as the standard, where is the apology? Where is the citation? It's nice to see that the world is now better informed, but it's disappointing that Wikipedia's mantra that everybody can contribute is a sham, as clearly the only thing that matters when it comes to making a change is who has higher status in the community. I think an apology is in order. -Norvig —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.168.95.70 ( talk) 18:59, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

You might want to keep an eye on User:Msoldi. He uploaded Image:Headstrong_Deluxe.jpg, which I feel pretty strongly is a hoax (note that the Photoshopper couldn't even keep all the letters lined up in the word "special"). He hasn't answered me about the source of the image, so there isn't a way to tell if he is the hoaxer or just another hoaxed. I've already nominated the image for deletion, and cleaned up references to the "deluxe" edition of Headstrong. Kww 03:23, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
This is something i've never seen before; over the last month or so, there has been an on again/off again revert war between two IP's (while, 2 users.

Unfortunately a few weeks or so ago I let myself get dragged into an edit war at Kristal Marshall over whether or not she was actually released from WWE, and so subsequently on World Wrestling Entertainment roster as well where I violated WP:3RR and I am extremely ashamed and embarrassed by these actions. However, shortly after being reported the page was locked and I came up with a compromise all sides agreed upon. But again, I am extremely ashamed and embarrassed by what I did, so standing for adminship at this time I just don't think is in the cards. Perhaps in a few months (December/January?) But thank you very much for thinking of me as someone you could trust to hold the mop, I really appreciate and am honored by that. Bmg916 Speak 17:14, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Remove screenshots but do not delete images which are owned by that site. I dodn't waste weeks of time for nothing ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 13:27, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Right I've just speedied about 10 or so images which are questionable as they are either screenshots or promotional shots the remaining are legitimate. This site is owned by Caledonian publishing , a company worth $100 millions of dollars . They employ an agency of photogtaphers based in Mumbai which deal primarily with the Bollywood film industry. Excluding screenshots and obvious promo photos this agreement is valid

Just wondering then how you think they get images on their site within hours ours of an event. I have often seen images posted on there before anybody else and amazingly quickly after an event on a regular basis, and often notice they don't have one or two images of some events but often appear to have at least twenty of all different sorts of angles which if they were copywrighted images I very much doubt they would be able to get hold of them so quickly and indeed so many different images of the same event. Is it really so impossible that this site does employ photographers but they do use additional screenshots or promophotos for support? They stated they have offices in India including Mumbai.
I have no use for that image, and honestly I don't even remember why I uploaded it in the first place. Please go ahead and delete it. Sorry for any trouble.-- jonrev 04:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I reverted you, because what the anon IP had added was actually correct - the code had been incorrect for a while and he was fixing it. The "return 0;" is obviously needed.

Hello Yamla!
As I saw, you are also reverting vandalism on Bipasha Basu's article. One user, User:Riaeagan keeps on adding fangush to the page, trivia section, unnecessary statements (ie "she was kissing one guy..."), controversies which seem to be rather gossip, and mostly unreliable sources (which caused to me many problems in the past). I've warned him thrice, but that's impossible. I ask for your intervention. Thanks, Shahid • Talk2me 07:14, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I've got a feeling the above user could be a sock of someone. He seems to of got use to Wikipedia pretty quickly considering he's made a handful of major edits. This was his first edit, in which he inserted a huge amount of text (which was in fact useful) along with a handful of references. He's since done a handful of other very useful edits. It might be a reformed sock, but I was just surprised seeing as he seemigly has gotten use of Wiki so quickly. As you know many of the past wrestling socks round here, is it a possibility this is a sock of a former user coming back here as a "reformed" user? Thanks, Dav nel 03 22:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I see that you have indefinitely blocked User:Nikkul for uploading images with false licenses. From what I can gather from the image description pages and the linked pages at flickr, he indeed asked the authors to release the images under licenses compatible with Wikipedia, and at least some of them actually changed the licensing. (The problem seems to be that the upload dialogue only lists the 3.0 versions of Creative Commons licenses, not the older 2.0 versions, and that's why the image description pages show the wrong licenses.) In particular:
And so on. I believe there is no reason to assume bad faith from the user, and that he should be unblocked (and asked to manually check and correct the licenses in image description pages when he uploades more images). Similarly, the images that have been uploaded should have their licensing corrected; they shouldn't be deleted. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 16:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey Yamla. Can you give some input on your above block? You have stated that if the user can explain his actions, he should use {{ unblock}}, which he has done. Would you be supportive of an unblock, accompanied with a warning that it may be reinstated if he continues violating policy? Anthøny 18:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Yamla, I dont get why this page needs to be deleted. An assistant director in a movie as big as Om Shanti Om deserves mention, right. I know some details about his early life too, but due to lack of citings, I have removed them. However, why the article needs to be deleted totally, I dont know.

it is clear that user: MplsNarco is a sockpuppet user of User: Ckatz. Today, I made a criticism about the conduct of Chatz at the Judge Judy talk page. MplsNarcothen made several comments backing up Ckatzchatspy. They both have a similar edit history. Here is Ckatz's [ [47]] edit history here is user: MplsNarco [ [48]]. They both tend to go to random pages trying to revise articles and leave edit summaries behind. It might be helpful to also note that user: MplsNarco hasn't made a contribution since October 17 and only now decides to make a contribution in support of Chatz nearly 2 month later, agreeing with everything he says directly after I make this edit [ [49]] only because Chatz clearly is taking owner ship of that article 198.150.96.50 ( talk) 02:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Original: With anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering either disabled or reduced, low-end and even some high end graphics cards, such as NVIDIA's 7300 GT and ATI's X800 will perform respectably at relatively low resolutions (ie. 1024x768), even with all other visual options maximized.

Also, I thought that I had cleared the images used on the page but it appears that they have been deleted. Is there anything I can do about the images that I haven't already done?
Theres absolutely no proof to state that the website doesn't own the images it claims to. Even the promotional pictures etc are owned by the disclosed media company which Devendra privately cited that distributes the images to many of the Bollywood related websites and of which the Bollywood blog is formally attatched to. It is clear to me the Bollywood blog has a legal license to distribute these images together with that media corporation and wikipedia is entitled to continue to use the images - but we should stay away from screenshots and posters. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 13:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there anything at all we can do to educate these folks aside from constant vigilance and reversion? Now that there is really a deluxe version of the Ashley Tisdale Headstrong (album), the hoax version of the cover is back [50], too. Articles now include references to a CD single of her version of Last Christmas, and include a CD cover, too. Only problem is, I can find no substantiation of the existence of the CD single, and the image seems to be taken from the Itunes digital download. So far as I know, I can't call that image a "cover", and there is no fair use policy that would permit it to be included. If I didn't wear a buzz-cut, I'd be tearing my hair out.

The fact that James Spader is the voice-over for the Acura commercials is certainly notable. Forsooth, one other Wikipedian had already inquired about it, and a Google search indicates wide interest in knowing whether he is the voice-over. IMDB must be a reliable source, because if it is not, we should delete most of the article, since references 1-5 and 10 are already IMDB. Why didn't you delete all of that content, as well?

Would you have time to have a look at User talk:Metsguy234#Blocked? I should have left a note on the talk page earlier for the benefit of any admins reviewing an unblock request. I'm not asking for a review of the declining of the unblock request, but I am effectively pointing out a different reason for an unblock. Probably best to let Neil respond when he logs back on, but I thought you should be made aware of all this. Do you think you could leave a note saying you are (or were) aware of the other discussion or not? It's up to you whether to get more involved and offer an opinion, but I'd like some reassurance that you investigated further rather than declining on a technicality.

Thanks for blocking User talk:Benniguy. I was hoping that once confronted with a coherent list of why the block and subsequent mayhem occurred the person behind this might actually start behaving rationally. I was wrong. I must get some shorter-acting AGF pills. Do you know of any way of getting this stopped, or at least reduced in volume, by some (as it were, this being Wikipedia) "higher authority"? WP:RBI is all very well, but the "I" part of that is, as I'm sure you'll understand, not that easy. It's also getting to the point where paranoia is setting in - I'm starting to think perfectly reasonable requests for assistance from editors are yet another elephant trap from this unpleasant vandal, and I don't like that happening. Do you know of any way of passing complaints to abuse@whoever, for example ("whoever" being an ISP or whatever other organisation is hosting them? I realise that, this being the Internet and this being Wikipedia a level of vandalism is to be expected, but this surely is getting to the stage, and is burning enough effort on here, that something needs to be done to try to stop it more permanently than just a block on a sock account will.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding policy, but I don't believe so. Fair use images are used throughout the project, including on featured articles, to identify fictional characters. The Friends images do just that. Also, the fair use policy does not require critical commentary on the image itself, but the subject it is identifying. This is no different from a company logo. A Character's bio is the critical commentary, and one image to identify the subject of an article is acceptable. A list of characters would be different. - auburnpilot talk 15:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Is username length a reason for the block?

Now I am growing irritated because of this. I do not want to create another account because that's technically a sockpuppet. Please look at my user talk page for the original request for an unblock about 6 months ago. Is it possible, after this extensive period of time, to unblock me finally so that I can continue to contribute with my user name? Please respond because I have waited a long time as you had initially instructed me to do. I am sorry for whatever mistake I made originally but I want to be able to continue working with my original name, Zarbon.

Wow, what a turn of events over the last 7 months. Does the current Hello World source code look familiar to you? http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=C%2B%2B&oldid=126469503. I was harassed, insulted, and even banned for trying to improve the quality of the C++ article with this exact code 7 months ago, and now that it is finally accepted as the standard, where is the apology? Where is the citation? It's nice to see that the world is now better informed, but it's disappointing that Wikipedia's mantra that everybody can contribute is a sham, as clearly the only thing that matters when it comes to making a change is who has higher status in the community.

Just wondering then how you think they get images on their site within hours ours of an event. I have often seen images posted on there before anybody else and amazingly quickly after an event on a regular basis, and often notice they don't have one or two images of some events but often appear to have at least twenty of all different sorts of angles which if they were copywrighted images I very much doubt they would be able to get hold of them so quickly and indeed so many different images of the same event. Is it really so impossible that this site does employ photographers but they do use additional screenshots or promophotos for support? They stated they have offices in India including Mumbai.
I have no use for that image, and honestly I don't even remember why I uploaded it in the first place. Please go ahead and delete it. Sorry for any trouble.-- jonrev 04:11, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

I've got a feeling the above user could be a sock of someone. He seems to of got use to Wikipedia pretty quickly considering he's made a handful of major edits. This was his first edit, in which he inserted a huge amount of text (which was in fact useful) along with a handful of references. He's since done a handful of other very useful edits. It might be a reformed sock, but I was just surprised seeing as he seemigly has gotten use of Wiki so quickly. As you know many of the past wrestling socks round here, is it a possibility this is a sock of a former user coming back here as a "reformed" user? Thanks, Dav nel 03 22:06, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

I see that you have indefinitely blocked User:Nikkul for uploading images with false licenses. From what I can gather from the image description pages and the linked pages at flickr, he indeed asked the authors to release the images under licenses compatible with Wikipedia, and at least some of them actually changed the licensing. (The problem seems to be that the upload dialogue only lists the 3.0 versions of Creative Commons licenses, not the older 2.0 versions, and that's why the image description pages show the wrong licenses.) In particular:
And so on. I believe there is no reason to assume bad faith from the user, and that he should be unblocked (and asked to manually check and correct the licenses in image description pages when he uploades more images). Similarly, the images that have been uploaded should have their licensing corrected; they shouldn't be deleted. - Mike Rosoft ( talk) 16:36, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
Hey Yamla. Can you give some input on your above block? You have stated that if the user can explain his actions, he should use {{ unblock}}, which he has done.

Yamla, I dont get why this page needs to be deleted. An assistant director in a movie as big as Om Shanti Om deserves mention, right.

it is clear that user: MplsNarco is a sockpuppet user of User: Ckatz. Today, I made a criticism about the conduct of Chatz at the Judge Judy talk page. MplsNarcothen made several comments backing up Ckatzchatspy. They both have a similar edit history. Here is Ckatz's [ [47]] edit history here is user: MplsNarco [ [48]]. They both tend to go to random pages trying to revise articles and leave edit summaries behind. It might be helpful to also note that user: MplsNarco hasn't made a contribution since October 17 and only now decides to make a contribution in support of Chatz nearly 2 month later, agreeing with everything he says directly after I make this edit [ [49]] only because Chatz clearly is taking owner ship of that article 198.150.96.50 ( talk) 02:35, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Original: With anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering either disabled or reduced, low-end and even some high end graphics cards, such as NVIDIA's 7300 GT and ATI's X800 will perform respectably at relatively low resolutions (ie. 1024x768), even with all other visual options maximized.

I'm just going to reword the one and only description that could be considered a violation. Will I be able to edit the page or is it being held for administrator approval? Also, I thought that I had cleared the images used on the page but it appears that they have been deleted. Is there anything I can do about the images that I haven't already done?
Theres absolutely no proof to state that the website doesn't own the images it claims to. Even the promotional pictures etc are owned by the disclosed media company which Devendra privately cited that distributes the images to many of the Bollywood related websites and of which the Bollywood blog is formally attatched to. It is clear to me the Bollywood blog has a legal license to distribute these images together with that media corporation and wikipedia is entitled to continue to use the images - but we should stay away from screenshots and posters. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Talk"? 13:57, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there anything at all we can do to educate these folks aside from constant vigilance and reversion? Now that there is really a deluxe version of the Ashley Tisdale Headstrong (album), the hoax version of the cover is back [50], too. Articles now include references to a CD single of her version of Last Christmas, and include a CD cover, too. Only problem is, I can find no substantiation of the existence of the CD single, and the image seems to be taken from the Itunes digital download. So far as I know, I can't call that image a "cover", and there is no fair use policy that would permit it to be included. If I didn't wear a buzz-cut, I'd be tearing my hair out.

The fact that James Spader is the voice-over for the Acura commercials is certainly notable. Forsooth, one other Wikipedian had already inquired about it, and a Google search indicates wide interest in knowing whether he is the voice-over. IMDB must be a reliable source, because if it is not, we should delete most of the article, since references 1-5 and 10 are already IMDB. Why didn't you delete all of that content, as well?
At any rate, Spader's involvement in the Acura commercials deserves to be noted, even if it's not in a trivia section. Magnetic Rag ( talk) 21:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Probably best to let Neil respond when he logs back on, but I thought you should be made aware of all this. Do you think you could leave a note saying you are (or were) aware of the other discussion or not?

Thanks for blocking User talk:Benniguy. I was hoping that once confronted with a coherent list of why the block and subsequent mayhem occurred the person behind this might actually start behaving rationally. I was wrong. I must get some shorter-acting AGF pills. Do you know of any way of getting this stopped, or at least reduced in volume, by some (as it were, this being Wikipedia) "higher authority"? WP:RBI is all very well, but the "I" part of that is, as I'm sure you'll understand, not that easy. It's also getting to the point where paranoia is setting in - I'm starting to think perfectly reasonable requests for assistance from editors are yet another elephant trap from this unpleasant vandal, and I don't like that happening. Do you know of any way of passing complaints to abuse@whoever, for example ("whoever" being an ISP or whatever other organisation is hosting them? I realise that, this being the Internet and this being Wikipedia a level of vandalism is to be expected, but this surely is getting to the stage, and is burning enough effort on here, that something needs to be done to try to stop it more permanently than just a block on a sock account will.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding policy, but I don't believe so. Fair use images are used throughout the project, including on featured articles, to identify fictional characters. The Friends images do just that. Also, the fair use policy does not require critical commentary on the image itself, but the subject it is identifying. This is no different from a company logo. A Character's bio is the critical commentary, and one image to identify the subject of an article is acceptable. A list of characters would be different. - auburnpilot talk 15:42, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
