Durova, I think I got all the copyvio images on en:wiki. I don't have a huge amount of image experience, but I think File:Best-one.JPG is fine. Am I correct? (The other two uploaded images appear to be taken by user in question.) -- Flyguy649 talk 19:24, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Regarding "it appears to have had an opposite effect on Unitanode somehow. If something similar happens in future perhaps someone else could offer the olive branch?": Yes, having someone else do it in similar situations in the future would probably be a good idea. I seem to recall some ill will between the two of you. If my memory is correct, then in general, if someone who you know is annoyed with you is upset, coming in and trying to give them advice, however well intentioned, is guaranteed to come off as patronizing and passive aggressive, and will make things worse 99 times out of 100. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 05:47, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal was started on the 22nd Feb, and it runs for 28 days. Please note that the existing CDA proposal was (in the end) run as something of a working compromise, so CDA is still largely being floated as an idea.
Also note that, although the RfC is in 'poll format' (Support, Oppose, and Neutral, with Comments underneath), this RfC is still essentially a 'Request for Comment'. Currently, similar comments on CDA's value are being made under all three polls.
Whatever you vote, your vote is welcome!

Hi Lise,
Just to let you know that the Featured Picture File:Coles Phillips2 Life.jpg is due to make an appearance as Picture of the Day on March 5, 2010. If you get a chance, you can check and improve the caption at Template:POTD/2010-03-05. howcheng { chat} 17:25, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

I watch RFA, interesting reading. But I felt the desire to come out from my cave and speak on this. I understand the debates do get heated. I do assure you, that our most heaviest debaters, do not translate into respondents who don't give their best as implied here and here. He handles his tickets admirably. I would hate to not be able to argue a point vigorously just because I'm a respondent. Please consider the chilling effect of such implications. I understand that you have the best intentions when it comes to this project, and I respect all the work you have done here, and with our images. Just something to think about when debating. Very respectfully, NonvocalScream ( talk) 06:10, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
I got my hands of one exemplar of the french newspaper "L'Illustration" 1858 edition.
This contains the collected press releases for the first part of 1858.
Half of the pages are drawn images that should be Public Domain now, the rest are text pages.
I started uploading the pages here
commons:Category:L'Illustration_1858
If you are interested into working on a few pages and having better versions, you should ask while I still have the book in my hands as I borrowed it from my neighbour.

I don't really know, The book contains about 440 pages which means about 220 pages with illustration, there is some sort of poster near page 50 (3x2 pages poster) but it seems pretty much damaged as it was torned out in two, the rest looks ok exluding a few marks. I did the following processing on the page I uploaded: jpeg taken by the camera (4000x3000) -> level -> redress the border as much as I can -> crop -> save to png. For the text only page, I tried a more aggressive approach with retinex filter/level setting the white point in the gray part and saving as grayscale png. I guess I could upload all the original jpeg somewhere if you want to have a look on the overall available images. My camera can shoot in raw mode, but the jpeg usually looks better as they are postprocessed finely in the usual cases, I still have the book for now, so I can retake specific pages correctly if needed, including a panoramic approach for better details if this is really needed. esby ( talk) 17:41, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Hi Durova, Joe Perez here. I understand that you've been doing research into my editing on Wikipedia! If I were in your shoes, knowing what you knew, I might very well have made the same call. I don't blame you in the least for highlighting the issues that you did in your block of my account, and hope you will comment or review my appeal of the block at this time. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.35.121.164 ( talk) 03:00, 6 March 2010 (UTC)
I meant to come here and explain this earlier, but I'm in the middle of a bit of a tourney on pokerStars. When I said "attempted closure" I meant no offense to you; (and in fact pretty much endorsed the closure, and thought about re-wrapping it in the tan-colored box, but I think someone yelled at my last time I closed a civility-laden ANI thread) - I was merely trying to make it clear that the thread (unwrapped from the purple garb by another person) started prior to our comments which sat peculiarly at the top if it. – xeno talk 05:33, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Hey Durova. I only recently learned about the Triple Crown, and if I'm understanding it correctly, I've done the nomination correct. However, I was hoping you could look at it and make sure I didn't do it wrong, if you wouldn't mind. Thanks! — Hun ter Ka hn 03:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi Durova,
I like your
namesake by the way; I've seen the Soviet film about her.
If I eventually need to have a user officially warned, or blocked, as the case may be, what is the official procedure for making any request of that kind?
Thanks for advising me about the stewards. Much appreciated,
