Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 15:15, 13 February 2012

Welcome to Jehochman's Talk Page Please feel free to put your feet on the coffee table, and speak candidly. Or for more better relaxation, stretch yourself luxuriously on the chaise longue in Bishzilla's Victorian parlour and mumble incoherently.

SOPA Initiative/Ideas nominated for deletion

Possibly unfree File:Gianolibrad'oro.gif

I'm not replying to your last comment on User talk:GiacomoReturned because he left this comment on my page (http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk%3ARonhjones&action=historysubmit&diff=475453244&oldid=475452524) and I'm not reverting it, because I'm not playing his games - I did consider changing to fair use, but he had already reverted that action twice before, so what was the point, he was insisting on it being a free image because it was 3D and not 2D.  Ronhjones  20:59, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't know all the intricacies, but it is a 3D image. The question is what it's a useful item, like a coffee mug with a logo, or a shirt. A book has no use other than it's copyrighted purpose. I'd feel a lot better under fair use. Jehochman 21:26, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

When does a 2D image become a 3D one - interesting argument - what about an oil painting that has texture because the paint has been put on with a spatula?

Anyway, I agree, fair use is typical for a book cover, but he obviously (for some reason) didn't want that. If I had accepted his argument when I read it, I would have moved it to commons, but I didn't and I'm certain it would have been deleted there.  Ronhjones  23:36, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

tldr

I have attempted to address concerns you raised on Jimbo talk. I hope it is sufficient? My76Strat (talk) 21:14, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

rude?

Don't get why is rude -- have asked ArbCom clerk (Salvio) to review. Nobody Ent 00:22, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Erm, I don't understand why it's rude either... Is there something I missed (not being a native speaker, there may be something rude I fail to notice)? Salvio 00:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

If you are ignorant of the history of that particular personal attack, you can contact me via email. I will not provide the details out in the open. Jehochman 02:08, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Or he can Google "Jimbo Wales tshirt Ebay". --Floquenbeam (talk) 02:14, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I did. I removed the comment again pending review, though I don't wish to edit war and it doesn't seem all that terrible to me. Jimbo Wales is WP:WELLKNOWN around here and I hope he's developed a sense of humor about these things, but the comment does seem kind of gratuitous and mean. - Wikidemon (talk) 02:51, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for explanation. Nobody Ent 03:21, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I mentioned this to Malleus. - Wikidemon (talk) 03:26, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Wikidemon: I think that this is the diff you meant to post. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 03:39, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

I thought it was possibly a little dodgy, but didn't want to delete it myself. Borderline-ish. (And I still want the hoodie, with a great big globe logo on the front ;P) Pesky (talk …stalk!) 08:15, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation everyone, it turns out I was indeed missing something and my fellow clerk removed the offending post. Cheers. Salvio 10:45, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Being Jimmy does not make one into a free-for-all target for personal attacks and irrelevant commentary. This isn't a case about Jimmy. His personal life has no place on Misplaced Pages, except for Jimmy Wales. Thank you all for sorting this out. Jehochman 11:59, 10 February 2012 (UTC)

Meowy

I think it would be worth giving you the heads-up, if you aren't already aware, that the block on Meowy (talk · contribs) has expired and the user has returned to editing. CT Cooper · talk 20:12, 11 February 2012 (UTC)

Then they are welcome to edit. Jehochman 03:12, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

He according to {{Gender}}. There were suspicions of socking until very recently, but none were blatant or proven. There are no edits so far since the block expiry that appear to be problematic, so I hope it stays that way. CT Cooper · talk 21:29, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Humor tag

Please undo that. I think Elen was serious. She posted in the meta-wiki RfC along the same lines as well. ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 14:43, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Her question can't possibly be serious. She must have been trolling us. Please let her come to me if she has any concerns about the tag. Jehochman 14:44, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I've notified Elen. Note that User:Maunus also thinks there's something in that RFC perhaps worth examining . ASCIIn2Bme (talk) 14:51, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

• I have removed the tag, and would ask Jehochman to ask me in future before presuming what I am thinking - advice every man ought to follow anyway when dealing with a woman (and that *is* humour). The reason for the post was that given the continuous barrage of accusations that Arbcom holds trials in secret, exonerates its friends, and sweeps everything under the carpet, I wanted to give a space to any third party who might ask "yes, but is there something in this." I don't think there is - I don't think Gwen Gale is a worse admin than anyone else - we all make errors of judgement, and do things in good faith that don't work out so well. Mbz1's life has been derailed by the way she reacted to a block on editing a website, not the block itself, let's be clear on this. But equally, there never was an RfC, there never was a massive Arbcom investigation. Everyone Mbz1 mailed it to looked at it and said "can't see it myself" and left it at that, often I suspect without emailing their response back to Mbz1. I just wondered if that was enough for the community. Evidently it was. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:15, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
