== Picture removal - Eaglet Circle ==


Thank you for taking time reviewing the pictures on the Orlyonok article. I do not see the reason for the sudden removal of the picture of the Eaglet Circle and would like to see detailed explanation. The short line you suplied ((F7: Violates non-free use policy: obviously false tag (not the topic of the article, not object of commentary); obviously replaceable)) does not fully furnish details, as it gives multiple reasons. If it violates the non-free use policy I can supply the proof for the non-free fair use; if its not the topic of the article, by reading the article you will find that it is a picture of eaglets standing in a circle (and singing a song, as a matter of fact, see (Eaglet Circle Traditions - Tradition of Songs); if it is obviously replaceable, I already stated in the talk on my page that once I obtain the license-free variants, these WILL be replaced. Again, this article HAS ALREADY been reviewed by the administration and staff of the camp and has been approved. If this does not sound convincing enough, I can forward direct email address for the person responsible for the public relationships who can further assist you with double-checking all the permissions and legal status of anything used in the article. Thank you, ] (]) 13:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


== Invitation to participate in a research ==
: The image was replaceable because an alternative image of kids standing in a circle could obviously be created. It doesn't matter if you have already found one; it is enough that such an alternative is conceivable. That's the ] failure. Normally this leads to deletion after a waiting time of 48 hours, but in this case the image was additionally subject to immediate deletion per ] because it also had a blatantly false description. You claimed in your rationale that it was being used as "object of discussion". The file upload form that you used for uploading it told you exactly what that means: "the image itself is the topic of discussion in the article. The discussion is about the photograph or painting as such, as a creative work, not just about the thing or person it shows". This was obviously not the case here. If you are in contact with the camp administration, you are very welcome to try and get images from them with a fully free license, but without that we won't be able to use them. ] ] 16:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


Hello,
:: Thank you for taking time explaining the rationale. I apologize for taking apart your post, but it merits some attention. "..it is enough that such an alternative is conceivable..." - I still fail to see the possible existence of a conceivable alternative being a viable basis for the sudden removal without warning. Permissions-wise, as stated (read EagletSam MyTalk), not only I have been in contact with the administration of the camp, I have already obtained the permission to use ANY pictures hosted on their site, logos, maps, etc, which I will gladly forward to the Wiki administration if need be (actually, I would much prefer Wiki and Orlyonok administration work it out directly, as I am not affiliated with Orlyonok, never worked for them, and live in the other hemisphere altogether). (FYI, I am already in the process of figuring out which photos fall within the "free" permissions; choosing the "non-free" was done out of respect for the copyrights of the official site "by default", and I am awaiting "official letter" from the administration explaining all the details of such; your actions are actually speeding up things that are planned to happen anyhow; I had to start with some kind of draft that I could present to the Orlyonok administration as a preview). But, logistics aside, I am still at loss how a genuine picture of a genuine Eaglet Circle standing while singing (and with a clearly visible Orlyonok sign, which IMHO, is one of the best pictures I could find) does not belong to the article discussing it within the Eaglet Culture section. If it does not belong within the Eaglet Circle paragraph itself and should have been moved to the Tradition of Songs section, than I would have done that, too, given some time, which I was not given. I apologize for re-using your post at the risk of being wrongly understood, but the "blatantly false description" in itself is the blatant false statement, since the photo's capture clearly read "Eaglet Circle"; if you refer to the uploaded file description, "The discussion is about the photograph or painting as such.." then it does not mean I do not try to understand what I am doing; it simply means a mistake has been made and should be corrected, which I would gladly do, given the chance you did not give me. I also see that other image in the article (the map of the camp) suddenly came under scrutiny and sense a pattern here, though, I WOULD LIKE to see some friendly and helpful discussion BEFORE anything is suddenly removed without my permission. All the links and references provided will be checked and thoroughly read. Respectfully, ] (]) 18:43, 5 July 2012 (UTC)


The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this ''''''.
::: Re: rmoving the logos of the individual camps within the Orlyonok - still awaiting a SOLID EXPLANATION, just like with the earlier sudden removal of the Eaglet Circle picture. This was not the "non-free image over-use", these are individual logos of the camps within the Orlyonok, officially created, officially approved. I am still at loss as to why WITHOUT WARNING stuff disappears from the article at such lightning speed and with such scant explanation. Trying hard to stay respectfully but dazed and confused ] (]) 19:37, 5 July 2012 (UTC) P.S. Still awaiting the basis for the "conceivable alternative" and to help you out, is it in the state of the CA only? In the United States of America? Worldwide or which country in particular? What are the provisions for seeing it as the legal basis for any actions? What is the court ruling establishing it? If there were none, what is the actual internal Wiki memo stating as such? By whom and to whom it was referring (which case in particular)? Who authorized its immediate put to action and by what power (which US court and in which location)? Until these and other provisions are met, I do not legally recognize "conceivable alternative" as being a solid evidence other than being just one particular occasion for this particular case (would like to see other comparable examples, links to other articles where this worked). If these are too much to answer, I can wait.


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
:::: Sorry, these are too many questions to answer all. Please understand that this kind of image patrolling is very much a routine matter; we get hundreds of images uploaded daily, and I review, and often delete, dozens of them every day.

The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .
::::: I respect your time and expect the same in return. I, too, a have full-time work, family, various obligations and multitude of volunteer work in addition to editing article. In no way I imply I have more work to do or trying waste your or anyone's time, but expect that this can be settled in civilized and logical matter. I have read through all the links you supplied in addition to other pages serving the point. Respectfully, ] (]) 20:50, 5 July 2012 (UTC) P.S. I was not born in the US and grew up elsewhere, and have problems figuring out what "common sense" would be; in short, I need to be told what exactly things like "conceivable alternative" supposed to mean to an average american/canadian. While it may be obvious and simple, it is not, in my case. Thank you ] (]) 00:44, 6 July 2012 (UTC)


Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
:::::: It's really much simpler than you make it sound. Somebody, for instance a staff member or visitor at the camp, could make a new photograph and publish it under a free license. As long as that is possible, we will not use a non-free alternative. I'm not sure how I could explain it any better than this; if you find this difficult to follow, I'll just have to ask you to accept that this is how the policy of this project works, and to move on. ] ] 07:11, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

== Historiographer ==

I like to make clear that I do not support, nor even accept overlooking of racial slurs on Misplaced Pages. They may be used elsewhere, but I support the community sense that they have no place here. If I appeared to be supporting Historiographer, it is simply that I thought there was a plausible case that the words might have been misunderstood. I now know that you are well-acquainted with the history (which was not presented in the original ANI thread, so I defer to your more detailed understanding of the background. I still support the concept of escalating blocks, and think a 3month block following a 72 hour block is a jump too far. I haven't had the "pleasure" of dealing with any of the Korean-Japanese spats, so my view may not be the same as if I had that experience.

On 9 July 2011 you issued to ]. Probably as a result, the user abandoned that account, and started editing as ] instead.

You recently issued , perhaps without realizing that it was the same contributor. If you check the new account's user talk page history (which has been blanked several times), you'll see that the user has persisted, right up to the present day, in uploading non-free images with missing or incomplete copyright information or fair use rationales, and also related problematic behaviour such as adding unreferenced biographical content, posting a number of copyvio articles, removing speedy deletion templates, and removing copyvio templates. He doesn't appear to have ever responded to the scores of warnings posted on his talk pages, except to periodically remove them.

== ] and block ==


== Reverts ==
<s>I've left a message at YRC's talk page, and I would ask you reconsider the unblock request. He did say that he doesn't want to harass, his last post was over an hour and a half before the block, and he has actually shown a great deal of progress in his attitude and communications. For disclosure, I am his mentor and his progress can be seen at ] where he has voluntarily worked in articles with a self-imposed 1RR and has held to it. I personally feel that a warning would have been the better solution and I was disappointed that it wasn't tried first. Magog was within policy in blocking him, but that doesn't mean it is the best solution. That he politely claims that Magog was involved while also making it clear he will not harass shouldn't affect his unblock request, as blocking doesn't remove his right to express an opinion. If we want problem editors to fix their own problems, then we should meet them half way when they show they are trying hard to do so, and YRC has been spending a great deal of time and effort to fix his communications issues. We should not treat him as if he hasn't. Obviously, I have a bias as I'm mentoring him, but I'm not as colored by this as I am the fact that I've gotten to know YRC and I sincerely think that reconsidering and lifting the block based on his existing statements is more likely to prevent disruption, reduce frustration, and allow him to return to the good work he does here. I wouldn't blame you if you made it clear that he would be wise to extend his self-imposed 1RR to talk space, and that he should contact his mentor about correcting the issues that led to this block. What he did was dumb, but not 1 week block dumb, in my opinion. For the record, he has not contacted me or asked me to interfere in any way in this matter. Another editor pointed me to it, but I had just walked in the door and likely would have found it anyway. ] - ] ] 20:20, 7 July 2012 (UTC)</s>

Hello fellow Wikipedians, due to changed circumstances in my private and professional life I am currently hovering somewhere in between "busy in real life and may not respond quickly to inquiries" and "semi-retired".

Invitation to participate in a research

Hello,

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Misplaced Pages, and what affects administrator retention.

Reverts

If I come across one of their additions to RSN would it be helpful if I pinged you? -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 20:50, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks, but I guess it's enough to get them reverted promptly – if they then start revert-warring it back in, there should be enough admin eyeballs on that page to push the block button eventually, right? It doesn't have to be always me. That person is a pest (I suppose you're familiar with their LTA entry?), thanks for helping deal with them. Fut.Perf. ☼ 23:00, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
I looked it up after their recent posts, I'll keep an eye out for them. -- LCU ActivelyDisinterested «@» °∆t° 23:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)
