In case you overlooked my previous complaint...
I've been blocked by you for relevant that I have put up. You also use the phrase multiple vandalsim with me. I want someone to explain to me why putting a link to a site that is directly on point can be construed as vandalism. Most of the links are either samples of what the topic is or a more detailed explanation of the definition. Can you please explain this to me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike Teflon ( talk • contribs)
I just wanted to let you know that the licenses I added for the Mel Peachey pictures [1] were not intentionally false. I put them there with good intentions, but it seems as if they weren't appropriate. I just didn't want you think I was putting fake crap there to get away with the image. I've found a good enough image that doesn't have any negative ties, so it's good now. — Chad "1m" Mosher Email Talk Cont. 19:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I still don't quite understand what fair use rationale needs to be added to the images that I have uploaded. Could you explain please what can be added to prevent any more copyright violation messages and me being blocked from editing. Thank You. ( Shakirfan 22:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC))
Go to www.google.com and search for paris Hilton cartoon in Images and you will find those pics. So ha. Jtervin [VS] 02:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
P.S. who the hell are those people?!?! User:Jtervin 02:50, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Yea but they released it to the public and so it is OK to use it here. It is a promotioanl photo which is OK to use her. HAHA. Jtervin 04:43, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you but your the only administrator i've had any dealings with. On the above page, that I have been mostly responsible for editing, someone has added a "citation needed". It appears after the name of the personthe article is on and I was just wondering if it is really neccessary to provie proof of the guys name? Your input would be appreciated Basement12 15:40, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
No i don't think so, there was bit of confusion over various diferent Jonathon Goulds at one point but this was cleared up by the (game show presentr) addition. I shall remove it for now then, cheers for your help. Basement12 16:55, 16 August 2006 (UTC)
The album cover for FutureSex/LoveSounds IS in use. What are you doing? It's the album cover. It has the source as well. Please refrain from removing images without first checking it's usage. Stewiegfan 15:37, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

Dear Yamla,
How do I go about providing the fair use rationale when submitting photo's? Also, how do I archive. Thanks -- 7g7em7ini 00:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

My User Name is Mike Teflon - I have been adding some links from a commerical site. But they are not advertising. My site's primary purpose is to educate other attorneys. It is one of the leading sites on the Interent in this regard. Could you please look through the site it is at Miller & Zois. Thanks.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike Teflon ( talk • contribs)
No, it says normally to be avoided. Can we agree on this? If not, show me where it says it is specifically prohibited. I think this is completely unfair. You are taking down a link not available elsewhere on the web that would be of interest to users. Should this not be the test? Can you please tell me how I go about protesting this if you will not reconsider? Take a look at the topic. Take a look at the overall context. I'm sure you are a nice guy and, like you say, you can't pick up tone on the Internet. But I don't think you flip response is correct or fair to us or the readers of Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike Teflon ( talk • contribs)
The Wikilawyering comment is not appropriate. You can't call logic and reasoning Wiklawyering. It is not fair. You point to the "spirit" of the policies. I agree this is what should be controlling. Yet your initial comment makes no reference to "spirit" of the policies. Read the category. Look at the link. And then tell me it is inappropriate. I realize and appreciate the power you derive from all of this. But, in my humblest of opinions, it might not be the worst idea to allow the best interest of the readers to trump your desire to assert your power. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike Teflon ( talk • contribs)
Okay, and I'm not trying to make a federal case out of this. But I don't like being treated like some sort of spammer. Google something like sample deposition or sample interrogatories. We are first on the internet on these things. Why? Because we are the only law firm who offers this kind of stuff for free. So I'm trying to add some of this material into Wikipedia but only the stuff that I have screened to make sure there is no commerical message of any kind and that it is truly suitable for the topic at hand. You raising the spirt of the rules I think was appropriate - I am trying to operate within the spirit of the rules. And I feel like your knee jerk reaction is commerical website=spam. But in this case, it is far from it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mike Teflon ( talk • contribs)
Thanks. I don't know if we agree but I think at least we understand each other better. We spend a lot of time working on the educational content of our site. Believe me when I tell you we don't get business from it but we still continue to do it. I like spreading our education message everywhere I can because, I don't know, I just like doing it. (Probably the same reason you are on here on a Saturday night.) You tell me, Yamla, how do you want me to approach this medical malpractice complaint thing? Mike Teflon 01:00, 20 August 2006 (UTC) P.S. Thanks for the sign your name thing...
P.S.S - Look what I just did to contributory negligence. Tell me if you think it is helpful or not.
Could you help me out? Because while I appreciate what you suggest, I have no idea how to do it. By the way, take a few minutes and look around the Internet. The stuff we are making available no one else is making available. It is not that hard to do, but no one is doing it.
http://www.millerandzois.com/malpractice-complaint-medical.html This is the link to a sample medical malpractice complaint. Again, someone is looking to Wikipedia for medical malpractice information is looking for basic stuff. This is the legal document that initates any medical malpractice case. There a million (I exaggerate, of course) medical malpractice cases filed every year. Yet google "sample medical malpractice complaint." Besides ours, which is first search result, it is hard to find another one. We are really the only ones providing legal education of this sort using this medium. Thanks, Yamla. Mike Teflon 01:46, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Yep I did and I added in a quick comment. Thanks.

You posted the following to me earlier today
"Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in Jennifer Garner. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia."
First of all, the site in question is NOT a commercial one - the only advertising on it is that placed there by the host, Geocities, over which the site owner has no control.
Secondly, the site is NOT mine - So you're dead wrong on two points there. Check the update history of that page, and you'll find the link etc were originally added by another user, NOT by me... (And I don't think it's their site either) I was simply restoring content deleted by someone who's only purpose on Wikipedia seems to be deleting content they personally don't agree with.
Thirdly, I have now added a correctly-formatted reference to the embedded citation in question, as detailed in the official Wikipedia guidelines ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Embedded_Citations), rather than having the site listed in the external links section as previously. There are currently four embedded citations on this particular page, and only one with a correctly-formatted reference - the one I've just added. Surely, if this gets deleted as well, it's the person doing the deleting who's then in breach of the guidelines, isn't it, for removing correctly-formatted content?

Why did you delete my Tego link to his new album? And don't give me that B.S. about Advertisement! I see you have worked with magazines before I think you're abusing your power!! While I see you leave links to other websites that are in question. I 've personally talked to Tego's Atlantic reprsentative about this and I must say you're a racist!! Go ahead block me but I'ma write a article on Wikipedia !! Y'all all abuse you powers! —Preceding

Is there a reason why you removed the cover for 20 Years Old from the Janet Jackson videography page? Stewiegfan 08:02, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
I noticed that you put a speedy flag on the Rawlett High School article. After you tagged the article, I expanded it, so it's now an adequate stub, and I have therefore removed the speedy tag. In general, though, if an article is labelled as a stub, it's probably best not to speedy it as empty. Sometimes it's just as easy to expand it youself as to tag it for speedy deleton.

Acadamenorth is a POV pusher who engages in vandalism and harrassment. If he is unblocked he will reoffend. He will also find our he is unblocked almost immediately, from past experience. Absolutely any AOL user can be caught by the autoblock. I am in Philly with restroicted access so I will leave it to you. Maybe take it ot the noticeboard. I won't oppose an unblock, but it is frustrating -= I thought the recent changes were supposed to fix this problem. Just zis Guy you know? 18:09, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Yamla, I am having trouble deciding about the usage of an image at Wikipedia. I have described the situation at Talk:Bismillah Khan. Please see through the matter and give an opinion, since I see you are an expert in copyright-things :)-- Anupamsr 10:39, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Clearly, in this edit, it is shown that you had a slightly rude response to Bethicalyna. In the future, please try and be firm, but a little more friendlyness. It takes much more muscles to be rude than to be polite. Although you are an adminastor, and you can just unblock yourself if I were to even ask someone to block, it doesn't mean warnings won't be given away by me. Now, please be polite to my sister and any other Wikipedian, or else, they'll report to me (P.S, this is practice for being an adminastor, I'm doing this in deffence of my sister and practicing administration so I can develop more skills.) Thank you, happy reverting, blocking, and editing. Lindsay1980 22:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Yamla, I was wondering if you could do me a favour and send a message to Tcatron565 ( talk · contribs). At the moment I'm struggling to get through to him about some of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and how important it is to listen to other editors; he's been rather uncivil in his messages to me, and most recently he's chosen to ignore me completely (see, for example, [3]). I think that maybe he believes he's doing nothing wrong and I just have a "bee in my bonnet" (so to speak); if somebody else had a word with him, he might realise what I'm telling him is important. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 16:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla, another problem with a user, User:kadavul. He has added this picture [4] to Ajith Kumar's article and I did some research, since the picture looks kinda familiar.
Looks like the picture is taken from here: [5] and has been cropped. No indication that the picture is from the movie Paramasivan (2006) as Ajith Kumar looks slightly different in this movie. See here: [6]. Exact same picture has been uploaded by User:Kanna90. See his discussion page. Case of Sock puppetry? -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 16:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Excuse me but all my images have sources. You cannot put "no source" on the image when it does have a source. Please take out all the "no source information" I've added a source from where I found the picture on every image I've uploaded. -- StolenHearts511 03:17, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

KR is most famous for her Felicity tv show, so definitely links to & about Felicity tv show are appropriate. You also called them spam, but as I stated b4, they are links from the Felicity tv show page; so how are they spam? Wouldn't the links have been labelled spam & deleted from the Felicity tv show page as well if the links are/were in fact the spam u r labelling/calling them?
The links would be appropriate for Felicity because they deal directly with that t.v. show. Linking them in to a page about an actor who played a character on the show is inappropriate, however. Additionally, if these are the links I am thinking of, they require proprietary browser plugins which also make them inappropriate. -- Yamla 16:21, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Removing the tag that i did isn't considered vandalism thank you very much. If i was going around and removing it for no reason and doing to to all of them then its considered vandalism but i didnt. I removed the tag because it isn't needed, i have provided the url link of the site the picture is on. i had this arguement before with someone about this tag and i won it. As i stated before and i will state again if your gonna add the tag to just certain pictures then its not acceptible seeing as every single wrestlers profile has that tag, on nearly all the pictures. now unless you go around adding that tag to every single picture then i will not accept it on just that one picture, so you can stop picking on certain users which i have noticed cos your only adding that tag to pictures certain users have uploaded and not all of the users that have uploaded pictures using the tag.

Will you please get off my tail feather about this wikipedia rampage you are on. I have better things to do than: 1). Read your rants 2). Care 3). Engage in flame wars on this MMORPG, especially over a most petty, ridiculous issue regarding images.
Thanks for your contribution to the Windows Vista article. I have been struggling to get recent edits "accepted" on this article, although my latest contribution (which you added to) seems to have survived for the moment.

No problem with you requesting Fair use ... but could you be a little less strident about it!
the "Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded" is a little over the top since I have been asked for information on this once before (and added the requested info) and the image has bee uploaded since 22 June 2006, so the week limit seems a little redundant?
Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers
I have added a fair use justification ... Jaster 07:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
* You said "Thank you for clearing up the fair-use rationale for that image! Your effort is much appreciated!" Thanks Jaster 14:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I agree with point about the default tags - I find them a little overbaring and so I usually add my own comments with a more detailed reasoning and advice (where I can) Jaster 14:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Yamla, you removed the image used in the Afrikaners article. Would you please say why you did not see it as fair use? - Gemsbok1 09:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Are you actually referring to Image:Arrested Development - Rita.jpg? If you take a look at the image page itself, you'll see that there's no fair-use rationale provided for the Afrikaners article, thus we can't use it there. Remember, we are not permitted to use a copyrighted image without a detailed fair-use rationale. Additionally, it is a screenshot from a t.v. show; using it on Afrikaners would not be using it to illustrate the work or product in question, in the absence of free images that could serve such a purpose. So I do not believe any fair-use rationale could possibly be given for this image. I hope this clears things up. -- Yamla 14:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Can you please tell me how you want me to sort this problem? I found the image as part of a press pack to accompany the music video, which I assumed was allowed under "an image freely provided to promote an item, as in a promotional photo in a press packet", but as stated, I couldn't find a relevant title in the drop down menu. Thanks! HamishMacBeth 01:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla. The picture on Trisha Krishnan's article is now from the movie Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana. I provided a critical comment on the movie, so we can keep the picture. The pic is *not* from the movie Aaru anymore, as mentioned in Meeg's warning box. -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla, sorry, I'm a bit slow. Oookay, that picture is from the movie Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana or however it is spelled. In Trisha Krishnan's article, I wrote about that movie:
Does that not qualify as a "critical commentary on that particular movie"?
It's just - I took Eric Bana's article as a role model. The article is featured, so I guess it will do. It shows Eric Bana in a screenshot of The Mugget. The movie is mentioned thrice in the entire article:
Would this be better:
If this doesn't work (as it is almost the same as in Bana's article, I don't know what to do.
Best regards and thanks for your patience, -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity: why is it that Eric Bana's The-Nugget-pic isn't in that part of the article where the corresponding movie is discussed? I mean, shouldn't people be ultra-mega-pedantic (<- and that's not a bad think, I think) when it comes to featured articles?
Best regards and sleep well, -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
HI yamla, i've recently added in an image on trisha's page, I have found that it has been removed because it didn't have a correct copyright status. Can u pls give me links to how an example should be of a perfectly copyrighted pic.
i hav been around wiki for about 2 years now, i have previously go blocked for different reasons, mainly because of User:Anwar saadat who is now blocked. But he will be back soon...
this is probably my fifth account at wiki, and i haven't managed to get blocked this time, so if u can giv me gud example pic i can kee the same account, if not i'll get blocked again.
thank you for your patience Kadavul 10:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
user yamla wrote: "No evidence that Cola Cao has released this image under the GFDL"
argumentation of YY-bo: "no evidence that commercial manufacturers usually release images of their products under GDFL."
The edit action is arguable by the added signature Images:cola_cao. However, it can be removed easily, or upon request. If this action is correct, other imgages must be removed as well (see discussion of Images:Cola Cao, see article Red_Bull.
Compared to the Red_Bull article the edit is only argueable by the format conversion. The purpose of the image Cola_Cao is to documentate a product article. The data might be obvious for Joe Public (american slang), but who knows what people in foreign countries know about Cola Cao? The data might have documentary value for these individuals.
I am awaiting an explanation why the licensing was considered not valid; in relation to other articles on wikipedia. User:Yy-bo 13:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I am writing to you in function of your administrator status.
Can you please verify of the recent add to
Talk:Set_(mythology) is abusive,
because not related to the article, and needs to be removed?
Wikipedia is not censored, and such information may have a right of existence on wikipedia, but
people can not be urged to go into embarassing topics "on the fly" of browsing articles.
Wikipedia articles should respect the fact that they might be scrolled in the public.
Scroll of explicit information can arouse misunderstandings, which are not asked for.
Please let me know if the passage can be removed from the article discussion.
Probably it is just sufficient to argue that "wikipedia is not a generic discussion bbs".
I am writing to you because i am uncertain of doing the removal myself.

Jennifer Morrison image is already in use by Wikipedia on the Allison Cameron page - ergo, if it's acceptable on one Wikipedia page, it's acceptable on all. 64.103.37.71 16:46, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Quick fair use question for you. Can the image in the info box in the article on Playboy be used there under the fair use guidelines? I don't think so because there isn't a discussion about that particular issue, but I'm a fair use idiot so I figured I'd ask someone who's more familiar with the FU guidelines. Thanks, Dismas| (talk) 02:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello again Yamla! I hope this message finds you well. I'm wondering if you can help me, someone keep undoing all my edits (just to piss me off?). He makes comments that I haven't added original content, which is true but only because I was only tidying up the article in question. What can I do about this person? He goes by the username "Drett" and keeps reversing the FightDemBack article that I just spent all afternoon tidying up (which is really annoying!). Thanks, -- Delos 10:13, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

I did not vandalize his page. He was a republican candidate for congree. Are you saying he wasn;t?!?! Even if he has severed ties... he was still a supporter of the republican party in the past and many of his activities are still in support of the republican party. I'll give you a good compaison. Tim Robbins has not been a supporter of the Democratic party for a long time. Yet, he is still considered a supporter of the party due to past actions and due to the fact many issues he speaks out about are in line with democratic causes. An even better example... Michael Moore often goes against the democratic party on issues, but he is said to have his own "wing" of the democratic party by many people in the media.

Hi, Yamla. Would you have the time and willingness to help with (what I think is) a very simple issue with the potential to become a bad thing? I'm trying to have the image Image:KeiraKnightley_PridePrejudice.jpg to have a fair use rationale attached to it (as it is tagged with {{ Promophoto}}, which requires one) but the best I could get from an interested user (after some reverts) was "This image will only be used for the Keira Knightley article". Do you think is this enough for a fair use rationale of a publicity photo of a living person? I believe we would benefict from a third opinion here, as the user has already cleary stated that he trully believes this rationale is enough. Thanks in advance. Best regards, -- Abu Badali 16:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

I dont agree with your message about spamming and I dont understand why you are happy to accept other links to other less qualified sites that contain fewer information about artists or even almost empty webpabes as imdb's biography of Christopher Uckermann that contains no information at all. Just because IMDB is self proclaimed the international movie database it doesnt mean their pages are accurate or complete. We have always contributed with wikipedia with valuable links and pictures, added not just by us, but by other wikipedia editors,and I think your warning message is completely agressive and unfair; It's like giving a present to someone and receiving a kick in the butt in return.

Hello, I am David. i understand my daughter is a member of Wikipedia, permission given by the mother (I had nothing to do with this) and I am not sure about what you are talking about. I don't know who Kristin Kreuk is but I'm not even sure if that's my daughter's image. She looks like that, but I've been out of her life lately (do to work). I'd like you to explain the situation of the image thing. -- David Pierre 01:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd noticed that 'SpecialSylvia' seems reminiscent of a couple of users who've been blocked lately, for example in the use of the fake 'new messages' tag on their page: pure circumstantial evidence, but according to their talk page they also share an IP address with one of those blocked users. I'd been keeping an eye on their page as a result, and recognised the Kristen Kreuk image immediately, though it took me a while to remember her name so I could track it down on Google: if they were going to use a fake image, they could have picked something less well-known... Mark Grant 01:33, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
BTW, someone claiming to be User:Bethicalyna, who was just banned, is posting from the same IP address used by someone claiming to be 'SpecialSylvia': see User talk:Alexbuirds, User talk:CyclePat and User talk:Schrandit.

I just got stung by a wasp and my Mother showed me how to cure it, as I am still stinging, my brain thought up of an idea for Wikipedia. I was thinking of WikiClasses/Administrating lessons. Kids or other people on Wikipedia who have just become an admin can get a private session with an admin and learn! Does that sound weird?

Hi, Yamla, I really need to ask you about OrphanBot. I noticed that there are many messages that were sent by OrphanBot.

Hi, Yamla. I'm here again to ask for your help. This time, I believe I really need an Admin. Some user posted some copyrighted text on my talk page and I'm not really sure on what needs to be done. Should I simply remove it from the current version or is it necessary to to remove the specific page versions from history?
This was the edition in question.
Although the text is basically someones's resume, what may be considered ineligible for copyright, I'm really unconfortable with the text ending with "© 2003 by Richard Moskowitz, M. D.".
The user was probably unaware of the copyright implications of what he was doing.

Hey Yamla, just wanted to thank you for assuming good faith on the Katee Sackhoff page. I did save it direct, purposefully in that instance, for two reasons: 1. I was in a hurry and (more importantly) 2. I was changing it back so fast I assumed that it was before the photo would have been deleted (was thinking orphan rule for delete). While I do appreciate your fixing the page, I was wondering if it would have been (and thus for my future reference) possible to simply update the images comments? Anyway, thanks for realizing it was a simple error on my part. Lesson learned! ;-) VigilancePrime 04:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Hey Yamla,
It may seem like I have not linked that image to the page I got it from, but I have. If you read below you can see that it was lifted from the band's official page at allmusic.com. Thus, it is released to the site as a promotional image. I have read the fair use link you left on my page under images, and the image fits in the following categories:
Other promotional material. Posters, programs, billboards, ads. [14]
Publicity photos. [15]

Hello, Yamla, User:King Dracula keeps vandalising actor Surya's page: tried to talk to him (see here: [16]) but to no avail. He wouldn't answer. The article got worse when he started to edit it with several double mentions and a clumsy introduction. Also, he keeps adding co-stars and directors to the filmography. None of the featured article actor pages have those and there are generally not added. See for his edits here:
Could you talk to him?

No, it says normally to be avoided. Can we agree on this? If not, show me where it says it is specifically prohibited. I think this is completely unfair.

Can you please tell me how I go about protesting this if you will not reconsider? Take a look at the topic. Take a look at the overall context.

The Wikilawyering comment is not appropriate. You can't call logic and reasoning Wiklawyering. It is not fair. You point to the "spirit" of the policies. I agree this is what should be controlling. Yet your initial comment makes no reference to "spirit" of the policies. Read the category. Look at the link. And then tell me it is inappropriate.

Okay, and I'm not trying to make a federal case out of this. But I don't like being treated like some sort of spammer. Google something like sample deposition or sample interrogatories.

So I'm trying to add some of this material into Wikipedia but only the stuff that I have screened to make sure there is no commerical message of any kind and that it is truly suitable for the topic at hand. You raising the spirt of the rules I think was appropriate - I am trying to operate within the spirit of the rules. And I feel like your knee jerk reaction is commerical website=spam.

http://www.millerandzois.com/malpractice-complaint-medical.html This is the link to a sample medical malpractice complaint. Again, someone is looking to Wikipedia for medical malpractice information is looking for basic stuff. This is the legal document that initates any medical malpractice case.

Dear Yamla,
How do I go about providing the fair use rationale when submitting photo's? Also, how do I archive. Thanks -- 7g7em7ini 00:26, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
You posted the following to me earlier today
"Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in Jennifer Garner. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia."
First of all, the site in question is NOT a commercial one - the only advertising on it is that placed there by the host, Geocities, over which the site owner has no control.
Secondly, the site is NOT mine - So you're dead wrong on two points there. Check the update history of that page, and you'll find the link etc were originally added by another user, NOT by me... (And I don't think it's their site either) I was simply restoring content deleted by someone who's only purpose on Wikipedia seems to be deleting content they personally don't agree with.
Thirdly, I have now added a correctly-formatted reference to the embedded citation in question, as detailed in the official Wikipedia guidelines ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Embedded_Citations), rather than having the site listed in the external links section as previously. There are currently four embedded citations on this particular page, and only one with a correctly-formatted reference - the one I've just added. Surely, if this gets deleted as well, it's the person doing the deleting who's then in breach of the guidelines, isn't it, for removing correctly-formatted content?

Why did you delete my Tego link to his new album? And don't give me that B.S. about Advertisement! I see you have worked with magazines before I think you're abusing your power!! While I see you leave links to other websites that are in question. I 've personally talked to Tego's Atlantic reprsentative about this and I must say you're a racist!! Go ahead block me but I'ma write a article on Wikipedia !! Y'all all abuse you powers! —Preceding

I noticed that you put a speedy flag on the Rawlett High School article. After you tagged the article, I expanded it, so it's now an adequate stub, and I have therefore removed the speedy tag. In general, though, if an article is labelled as a stub, it's probably best not to speedy it as empty. Sometimes it's just as easy to expand it youself as to tag it for speedy deleton.

Acadamenorth is a POV pusher who engages in vandalism and harrassment. If he is unblocked he will reoffend. He will also find our he is unblocked almost immediately, from past experience. Absolutely any AOL user can be caught by the autoblock. I am in Philly with restroicted access so I will leave it to you. Maybe take it ot the noticeboard.

Clearly, in this edit, it is shown that you had a slightly rude response to Bethicalyna. In the future, please try and be firm, but a little more friendlyness. It takes much more muscles to be rude than to be polite. Although you are an adminastor, and you can just unblock yourself if I were to even ask someone to block, it doesn't mean warnings won't be given away by me. Now, please be polite to my sister and any other Wikipedian, or else, they'll report to me (P.S, this is practice for being an adminastor, I'm doing this in deffence of my sister and practicing administration so I can develop more skills.) Thank you, happy reverting, blocking, and editing. Lindsay1980 22:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi Yamla, I was wondering if you could do me a favour and send a message to Tcatron565 ( talk · contribs). At the moment I'm struggling to get through to him about some of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and how important it is to listen to other editors; he's been rather uncivil in his messages to me, and most recently he's chosen to ignore me completely (see, for example, [3]). I think that maybe he believes he's doing nothing wrong and I just have a "bee in my bonnet" (so to speak); if somebody else had a word with him, he might realise what I'm telling him is important. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 16:59, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla, another problem with a user, User:kadavul. He has added this picture [4] to Ajith Kumar's article and I did some research, since the picture looks kinda familiar.
Looks like the picture is taken from here: [5] and has been cropped. No indication that the picture is from the movie Paramasivan (2006) as Ajith Kumar looks slightly different in this movie. See here: [6]. Exact same picture has been uploaded by User:Kanna90. See his discussion page. Case of Sock puppetry? -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 16:56, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Removing the tag that i did isn't considered vandalism thank you very much. If i was going around and removing it for no reason and doing to to all of them then its considered vandalism but i didnt. I removed the tag because it isn't needed, i have provided the url link of the site the picture is on. i had this arguement before with someone about this tag and i won it. As i stated before and i will state again if your gonna add the tag to just certain pictures then its not acceptible seeing as every single wrestlers profile has that tag, on nearly all the pictures. now unless you go around adding that tag to every single picture then i will not accept it on just that one picture, so you can stop picking on certain users which i have noticed cos your only adding that tag to pictures certain users have uploaded and not all of the users that have uploaded pictures using the tag.

No problem with you requesting Fair use ... but could you be a little less strident about it!
the "Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been uploaded" is a little over the top since I have been asked for information on this once before (and added the requested info) and the image has bee uploaded since 22 June 2006, so the week limit seems a little redundant?
Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers
I have added a fair use justification ... Jaster 07:27, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Yamla, you removed the image used in the Afrikaners article. Would you please say why you did not see it as fair use? - Gemsbok1 09:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Are you actually referring to Image:Arrested Development - Rita.jpg? If you take a look at the image page itself, you'll see that there's no fair-use rationale provided for the Afrikaners article, thus we can't use it there. Remember, we are not permitted to use a copyrighted image without a detailed fair-use rationale. Additionally, it is a screenshot from a t.v. show; using it on Afrikaners would not be using it to illustrate the work or product in question, in the absence of free images that could serve such a purpose. So I do not believe any fair-use rationale could possibly be given for this image. I hope this clears things up. -- Yamla 14:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Can you please tell me how you want me to sort this problem? I found the image as part of a press pack to accompany the music video, which I assumed was allowed under "an image freely provided to promote an item, as in a promotional photo in a press packet", but as stated, I couldn't find a relevant title in the drop down menu. Thanks! HamishMacBeth 01:40, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla. The picture on Trisha Krishnan's article is now from the movie Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana. I provided a critical comment on the movie, so we can keep the picture. The pic is *not* from the movie Aaru anymore, as mentioned in Meeg's warning box. -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla, sorry, I'm a bit slow. Oookay, that picture is from the movie Nuvvostanante Nenoddantana or however it is spelled. In Trisha Krishnan's article, I wrote about that movie:
Does that not qualify as a "critical commentary on that particular movie"?
It's just - I took Eric Bana's article as a role model. The article is featured, so I guess it will do. It shows Eric Bana in a screenshot of The Mugget. The movie is mentioned thrice in the entire article:
Would this be better:
If this doesn't work (as it is almost the same as in Bana's article, I don't know what to do.
Best regards and thanks for your patience, -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity: why is it that Eric Bana's The-Nugget-pic isn't in that part of the article where the corresponding movie is discussed? I mean, shouldn't people be ultra-mega-pedantic (<- and that's not a bad think, I think) when it comes to featured articles?
Best regards and sleep well, -- Plumcouch Talk2Me 22:59, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
HI yamla, i've recently added in an image on trisha's page, I have found that it has been removed because it didn't have a correct copyright status. Can u pls give me links to how an example should be of a perfectly copyrighted pic.
i hav been around wiki for about 2 years now, i have previously go blocked for different reasons, mainly because of User:Anwar saadat who is now blocked. But he will be back soon...
this is probably my fifth account at wiki, and i haven't managed to get blocked this time, so if u can giv me gud example pic i can kee the same account, if not i'll get blocked again.
thank you for your patience Kadavul 10:24, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
user yamla wrote: "No evidence that Cola Cao has released this image under the GFDL"
argumentation of YY-bo: "no evidence that commercial manufacturers usually release images of their products under GDFL."
The edit action is arguable by the added signature Images:cola_cao. However, it can be removed easily, or upon request. If this action is correct, other imgages must be removed as well (see discussion of Images:Cola Cao, see article Red_Bull.
Compared to the Red_Bull article the edit is only argueable by the format conversion. The purpose of the image Cola_Cao is to documentate a product article. The data might be obvious for Joe Public (american slang), but who knows what people in foreign countries know about Cola Cao? The data might have documentary value for these individuals.
I am awaiting an explanation why the licensing was considered not valid; in relation to other articles on wikipedia. User:Yy-bo 13:49, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I am writing to you in function of your administrator status.
Can you please verify of the recent add to
Talk:Set_(mythology) is abusive,
because not related to the article, and needs to be removed?
Wikipedia is not censored, and such information may have a right of existence on wikipedia, but
people can not be urged to go into embarassing topics "on the fly" of browsing articles.
Wikipedia articles should respect the fact that they might be scrolled in the public.
Scroll of explicit information can arouse misunderstandings, which are not asked for.
Please let me know if the passage can be removed from the article discussion.
Probably it is just sufficient to argue that "wikipedia is not a generic discussion bbs".
I am writing to you because i am uncertain of doing the removal myself.

I did not vandalize his page. He was a republican candidate for congree. Are you saying he wasn;t?!?! Even if he has severed ties... he was still a supporter of the republican party in the past and many of his activities are still in support of the republican party. I'll give you a good compaison. Tim Robbins has not been a supporter of the Democratic party for a long time. Yet, he is still considered a supporter of the party due to past actions and due to the fact many issues he speaks out about are in line with democratic causes. An even better example... Michael Moore often goes against the democratic party on issues, but he is said to have his own "wing" of the democratic party by many people in the media.

Hi, Yamla. Would you have the time and willingness to help with (what I think is) a very simple issue with the potential to become a bad thing? I'm trying to have the image Image:KeiraKnightley_PridePrejudice.jpg to have a fair use rationale attached to it (as it is tagged with {{ Promophoto}}, which requires one) but the best I could get from an interested user (after some reverts) was "This image will only be used for the Keira Knightley article". Do you think is this enough for a fair use rationale of a publicity photo of a living person? I believe we would benefict from a third opinion here, as the user has already cleary stated that he trully believes this rationale is enough. Thanks in advance.

I dont agree with your message about spamming and I dont understand why you are happy to accept other links to other less qualified sites that contain fewer information about artists or even almost empty webpabes as imdb's biography of Christopher Uckermann that contains no information at all. Just because IMDB is self proclaimed the international movie database it doesnt mean their pages are accurate or complete. We have always contributed with wikipedia with valuable links and pictures, added not just by us, but by other wikipedia editors,and I think your warning message is completely agressive and unfair; It's like giving a present to someone and receiving a kick in the butt in return.

Hello, I am David. i understand my daughter is a member of Wikipedia, permission given by the mother (I had nothing to do with this) and I am not sure about what you are talking about. I don't know who Kristin Kreuk is but I'm not even sure if that's my daughter's image. She looks like that, but I've been out of her life lately (do to work). I'd like you to explain the situation of the image thing. -- David Pierre 01:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd noticed that 'SpecialSylvia' seems reminiscent of a couple of users who've been blocked lately, for example in the use of the fake 'new messages' tag on their page: pure circumstantial evidence, but according to their talk page they also share an IP address with one of those blocked users. I'd been keeping an eye on their page as a result, and recognised the Kristen Kreuk image immediately, though it took me a while to remember her name so I could track it down on Google: if they were going to use a fake image, they could have picked something less well-known...

Okay, but you have it all wrong! I just don't want people questioning me because that's what admins do, and I want to help expand articles instead of talking about my troubled life on Wikipedia. I was creating a subpage called warnings for admins and me. Thanks! -- Sylvia 20:02, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
I just got stung by a wasp and my Mother showed me how to cure it, as I am still stinging, my brain thought up of an idea for Wikipedia. I was thinking of WikiClasses/Administrating lessons. Kids or other people on Wikipedia who have just become an admin can get a private session with an admin and learn! Does that sound weird? Just voice you're opinion and then I'll ask Jimbo. -- Sylvia 21:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Yamla, User:Prettyw0man and User:Prettywoman2010 have been messing up with this [13]. See file history at the bottom. I'm fairly sure it`s bthe same user and warned him/her about copyright violations, but to no avail. Maybe you could have a kind word with him/her?

Hi, Yamla, I really need to ask you about OrphanBot. I noticed that there are many messages that were sent by OrphanBot. Sometimes, User complains about OrphanBot that OrphanBot keeps sending messages. Does OrphanBot's message represents for tagging of image? Or Perhaps Images are unsourced? Just Curious. Please, reply in my talk page. Daniel's page ☎ 03:38, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Yamla I noticed yesterday that you tagged this image with a fair use dispute tag. I added the source from where I got this image and added a bit of a rationale. Could you please explain what needs to added to it if it is not detailed or is it OK the way it is. Shakirfan 14:26, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
I stopped adding names to the list of Hollywood Democrats the second after you first wrote to me. Also, I noticed that there are many unsourced statements regarding the list of Hollywood Republicans. Thanks to your message to me, I have learned from my mistakes and, thusforth, have become a better Wikipedian. Thank you and good luck in your work as an administrator for Wikipedia.
Hi, Yamla. I'm here again to ask for your help. This time, I believe I really need an Admin. Some user posted some copyrighted text on my talk page and I'm not really sure on what needs to be done. Should I simply remove it from the current version or is it necessary to to remove the specific page versions from history?
This was the edition in question.
Although the text is basically someones's resume, what may be considered ineligible for copyright, I'm really unconfortable with the text ending with "© 2003 by Richard Moskowitz, M. D.".
The user was probably unaware of the copyright implications of what he was doing.
Thanks in advance, and sorry for disturbing you again. Best regards, -- Abu Badali 21:12, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

The Vandal with IP: User:199.97.121.99 is vandalizing again. He's vandalized before. Can you temporarily/permanently block him? Thanks for the help on the manatee thing. -- Adam Wang 01:48, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
The user Wahkeenah has posted a link, that you deleted from the Exit To Eden (film) article, into the Exit to Eden Talk pages (in an attempted circumvention I would guess). I removed it and they complained that it was against Wikipedia rules to do that. I'm concerned they're going to be a problem again so I would like to know where to find more info on the policies about this. x 03:13, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Hey Yamla, just wanted to thank you for assuming good faith on the Katee Sackhoff page. I did save it direct, purposefully in that instance, for two reasons: 1. I was in a hurry and (more importantly) 2. I was changing it back so fast I assumed that it was before the photo would have been deleted (was thinking orphan rule for delete). While I do appreciate your fixing the page, I was wondering if it would have been (and thus for my future reference) possible to simply update the images comments? Anyway, thanks for realizing it was a simple error on my part. Lesson learned! ;-) VigilancePrime 04:37, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Yamla! A couple days ago I saw that user Cute 1 4 u was blocked. Recently, a girl called GhettoGirl wrote to Quasyboy saying that Cute 1 4 u had an account at Wikiquote. Is she allowed to do that? Sorry if it seems I'm "tattle-tailing". Just tell me if I am. loulou 16:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for the clarification on the external links/'link spam' on the cerebral palsy and medical malpractice pages. I have no qualms with you removing the links ofcourse, however there are other commercial links listed (of our competitors), which is why I had assumed policy had changed since they were also listed. See askthelawdoc.com on the cerebral palsy page. Specifically advertising "lifetime benefits". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.70.213.195 ( talk • contribs) 21:31, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
I never had anyone remove an image from my userspace before. I think it's kinda your responsibility now to find me a comprably ridculous pic to replace it. you can't leave it blank. have you no aesthetic? I understand rules, but you'v interrupted the cosmic flow. good luck, cuz I can't imagine anything funnier than that pic right now. k zz * 22:07, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
Can you please find a good and recent picture of Sara Evans with detailed copyright info because there is currently no picture because you revoked mine
Sorry I didn't mean to "vandalize" her page Although I don't really think what i did was really vandalism I just got mixed up with Jennifer Love Hewitt and Sarah Michelle Guellar. Geez. They somewhat look alike.

Hey Yamla,
It may seem like I have not linked that image to the page I got it from, but I have. If you read below you can see that it was lifted from the band's official page at allmusic.com. Thus, it is released to the site as a promotional image. I have read the fair use link you left on my page under images, and the image fits in the following categories:
Other promotional material. Posters, programs, billboards, ads. [14]
Publicity photos. [15]

Hello, Yamla, User:King Dracula keeps vandalising actor Surya's page: tried to talk to him (see here: [16]) but to no avail. He wouldn't answer. The article got worse when he started to edit it with several double mentions and a clumsy introduction. Also, he keeps adding co-stars and directors to the filmography. None of the featured article actor pages have those and there are generally not added. See for his edits here:
Could you talk to him?

Hi Yamla, just a quick note to tell you I've blocked User:Yamlà, who appears to be an impostor of yours (they copied your user page and user talk page to their own verbatim). Cheers, Tangot a ngo 12:31, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
