Misplaced Pages

Tip of the moment... Power search Misplaced Pages using AutoWikiBrowser AutoWikiBrowser is a semi-automatic page loader and editor designed for working on large batches of Misplaced Pages pages. One of its tools, the database scanner, lets you do exhaustive searches of the encyclopedia's content. It can search article titles and article contents. The tool supports regex, so you have unlimited possibilities for search criteria. The tool works off-line, directly on a copy of the Misplaced Pages database that you have downloaded. It will find absolutely every occurrence of an entered search string, and return the names of all the articles that it comes across that contain it. Unfortunately, it only presents a maximum of 30,000 page names, at which point it will stop. So, the more specific the search criteria, the better.

Oklahoma Supreme Court Photo

I support your recent tagging of Image:Oklahoma Supreme Court-2006.jpg for speedy deletion for two reasons, (1) As you pointed out, the photo is apparently non-compliant with applicable Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines, (2) It is not an up-to-date photo of the "current" Oklahoma Supreme Court Justices, since at least of them depicted in the photo, Robert E. Lavender has since retired from the Court. --TommyBoy (talk) 09:54, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Image of Navistar MaxxPro MRAP up for deletion

Image:MRAP_Cat_1_navistar.jpg Although the above image is named as the Category 1 MRAP it is actually a rare photograph of the Category 2 MaxxPro MRAP (identifiable by it's third set of rear side glass - the much more common cat1 vehicle has just two). I believe that this image has value as a non-replaceable image as a means of differentiating between the category 1 and category 2 MaxxPro MRAPs. Please don't delete it.

William Weightman Photos

Hello. I see that you have noticed the mutliple William Weightman photos. I had a computer error and could not upload the photos correctly, causing this mishap. However, the photo Image:William Weightman (manufacturer).jpg is the one that I feel is the best of the group and should be left there while the other should be deleted. The computer problem should not send any viruses, so there is no need to panic. Thank you for notifying on this. Jughead.z(1) (talk) 00:52, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Inflammatory

Hi, Ricky.
In the meantime, the case is closed, but still, I'm asking you to abstain in future from giving the statements like you gave on the WP:ANI "My favorite is always when I end up having to block the original poster because they were the one initiating things".
You're an admin, you should stay neutral.
But with such statement (that looks more like chat on forums), it looked like you're suggesting that me (the one who reported the case) was the one that messed up. It looked like, "here's a bunch of us, let's bully this one".
You're an admin, don't allow such things to yourself. Don't allow others to pull you into something. Please, stay focused.
I remind you, it wasn't me who started sending messages around (related to Kosovo's independence) and taunting others with that. To remind you, he posted that on his userpage, then in the comment of edit on article Italia irredenta, and on my talkpage. I've never did such things (I'm not mocking to Serbs because of it, and I've never taunted anyone. Neither on my userpage, neither on other's talkpages).
You've never been involved (I've never seen you) in this particular matter, so it's not fair from you to judge "who initiated what".
At last, user Cherso crossed the line there. And it's so sad that he got away without a single warning like "Hey! You can't do that.". To make things worse, as I see, no admin told anything to Cherso because of it.
Looking forward for better mutual understanding, sincerely, Kubura (talk) 09:07, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Ricky. Thanks for your response.
I understand you. Fatigue is terrible thing, and many trolls/provokers are masters in "marketing and presentations" and hiding of their true nature. After the hours of battles with IP-vandals (and they are persistent, so the fight usually goes for days, weeks, months), it's hard for anyone (especially for admins, that have to stay calm on everything) to see clearly who is what.
Have a nice day, Kubura (talk) 09:24, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Non-free image removal

Fair enough.

I'll be more careful when finding images for things like that from now on.
What will the image page say on the portion where it indicates the legal/illegal use status (i.e., whether or not it's copyrighted) if it's safe to use on my userpage? That kind of always confused me a bit.
Just so I know for the future.

Anyway, thanks much,
— TIMALDERSON | TALK | CONTRIBS —Preceding comment was added at 14:05, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Your Inquiry About My Posting of Images, From Cooman456 I just got them from the internet, but I'd imagine most are a free liscence. I don't really know how to leave comments, so maybe this is how to do it. But I want to make Misplaced Pages much more visual, and I feel it's important to do that, for the pictures on Misplaced Pages are lacking. Isn't most stuff on the internet free liscencing? Why do you have to break my balls when I'm trying to make Misplaced Pages a better place? I understand you're trying to make sure everything's legal, but please, let me keep my pictures up so Misplaced Pages can be better. This site needs to be more visual. I thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooman456 (talk • contribs) 18:11, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

And I have another question. Can you please tell whoever makes the page for the 1964, '68, '56, '52, and other presidential elections of the 20th century to stop putting people who didn't run on the candidates page? I'm tired of deleting these non-candidates. For example, Kennedy never ran for president in 1956. I thought he didn't, and I double checked, and he didn't. This is very sloppy on whatever person made this page. In the candidates gallery there are TONS and TONS of people who actually never ran, and this is not good for people who want to learn about the election. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cooman456 (talk • contribs) 18:20, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Your actions on Cemal Gursel article

Hi. I actually need your help for those Cemal Gursel related images' clarifications at the discussion board (/* WP:PUI */ )because I frankly did not see the problem. Because I am not well versed with Misplaced Pages and your concerns I am sure are very to the point, I just need your pointing out what exactly is the concern for those 3 images that appears to be in public domain freely. Thanks fo ryour consideration and guiding on this which I believe has been very useful to the article's quality as well. Could you let me know here or your talk page or the article discussion page?

Addendum: The following two images were processed by that administrator Ricky81682 with no appropriate license assurances and the questioning tags were vandalized by him while he abuses other article images with fictitious concerns and failing to rectify his mistakes despite good faith discussion attempts. More interestingly, he adds fictitous licenses at images put in wiki by other users in those specific images. Than he goes and removes PUI tags while he puts same tags in other’s work to damage. See below:

The same administrator Ricky81682 covered up the following vandalized sound file despite appropriate copyright tags at http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:CemalGursel1963.ogg. 14:15, 16 February 2008 Rettetast (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:CemalGursel1963.ogg" ‎ (Speedy deleted per (CSD G12), was a blatant copyright infringement. using TW) 14:15, 16 February 2008 (hist) (diff) Cemal Gürsel‎ (Removing instance of image CemalGursel1963.ogg that has been speedily deleted per (CSD G12); using TW) He erased all goodfaith discussion attempts at the above sound page including all of its log files to prevent traceability and responsibility.

He also continuously interferes in bad-faith with an obtrusive and predatory manner with the following files:

Image:ArmyGames.jpg clearly indicated “From his family album and personal collection” and it is also a government photo declared heritage. There should be no problem there. Making fair use claims does not negate against public domain. It seems extra but does not make abuse by an administrator OK.

Image:WithACadet.jpg indicates the same “From his family album and personal collection” as to the ownership of the copyright and further fair use statements are provided, which do not again negate against the image legitimacy.

Perhaps the absurdity of the abusive admin interaction becomes most obvious at the Image:Harb&istiklalmedal.JPG and all of its history with appropriate tags.

Please stop this nonsense. Discuss it at WP:PUI. The same problem goes for most of the images on the article, and these were not the first to be nominated for deletion.

I just noticed your shitty nonsense you gave at Cemal Gursel images. It appears that you are an asswipe. Your masturbative conduct belongs to your bathroom or the stable you grew up, not wikipedia. 72.74.116.197 (talk)!

Please unarchive Kevin Macdonald

A user's behavior is the subject of a Wikiqutte board complaint here as well as discussion on AN/I. thanks! Boodlesthecat (talk) 04:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Thre is no consensus on AN/I, just a unilateral declaration by one admin who responded with an obnoxious ? "shut the hell up" The rest of the discussion is by the anti-Semitic editor himself. Explain "consensus" there? I would appreciate it if you would clarify there is no consensus, a false claim which is unfairly biasing my Wikiquette board complaint. Boodlesthecat (talk) 04:22, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Why are you and others covering up for flagrant violations of Misplaced Pages policy and a vicious anti-Semite? And threatening to block me for complaining about vicious, anti-semitic attacks against me? And making false claims of "consensus?" I don;t get it. Explain please.

Thanks

Thanks, VartanM failed to tell me about it and didn't even discuss it with me, even though I tried to discuss things with him on his talk page. He seems to have an intent to exterminate me from wikipedia, but I'll WP:AFG and hope he's just trying to be an upstanding wikipedian. Thanks again for the warning, I replied to defend myself, but I think I wrote a little too much, so I apologize for that (tried to bold so I won't waste your time). — § _Arsenic99_ 20:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Obviously it's supposed to be the original upload, as looking at the Percy Clark article would have suggested! Thanks for pointing it out to me. Andrew nixon (talk) 07:04, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. FYI: —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slrubenstein (talk • contribs) 11:29, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

By the way, I have found no pattern at all in what articles she choses to (silly) edit - if you look at her contributions, you will see a wide range, and she seldome makes more than one edit to any given article. If she reverts to her childish behavior, through a sock or another IP, the only way to know it is her is that the edit consists on one inane and unsourced statement. Hard to track down. Slrubenstein | Talk 15:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, it's me, Colleenthegreat. I do have the ability to renew my IP address, but promise that I do not intend to use this right now (aside from this comment). I have not yet created an alternate account, or done editing on another IP address (besides this comment), and am willing to wait before doing anything. I've written a long comment on my talk page explaining why I said what I did about bypassing the block. Please note that I did not intend to create a sockpuppet to use alongside other accounts, but merely to create another account alltogether and not again use User:Colleenthegreat. Creating another account appeared to be the only option I had, as I have had a long and hard learning process in understanding policy and after I made one questionable proposal to talk:jesus, slrubenstein took at look at my contributions (and my learning process) and assumed bad faith, prompting him to block me for a month without warning and after he had jumped to conclusions without doing much research into my actions. I just don't want this to happen again, so I think it's better to evoke my right to dissapear and create a new account so that others will not be able to use my good-faith contributions (and learning curve) against me in the future.

You can try to read the very long comment on my talk page where I pointed out why I believe I have been treated without WP:AGF, and you will see the reasoning why I chose to post a comment saying that I do not feel I should respect the block. It is obvious that I had no true ability to contest the block or defend myself, despite apologizing, explaining my handicaps, and expressing that I now understand our policies; it seems no matter what I said, slrubenstein's assumptions would take precedence, and I have already contested the block twice without much creedence given to me. Again, I don't intend to create sockpuppets, just a new account; But I have not done so and am considering not doing it if there is a chance that I can be treated fairly. I have explained about and apologized for all of slrubenstien's accusations (see User talk:Colleenthegreat), so if that could be mentioned on the noticeboard, it would be appreciated. Again, I do not intend to bypass the block by editing with an IP address (or alternate account) again unless I am still treated unfairly and not given a true chance to contest my block. Sorry for making this comment. 71.153.182.56 (talk) 19:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Proposal RE: User:Mikkalai's vow of silence

You are a previous participant in the discussion at WP:AN/I about User:Mikkalai's vow of silence. This is to inform you, that I have made a proposal for resolution for the issue. I am informing all of the users who participated, so this is not an attempt to WP:CANVAS support for any particular position.

The proposal can be found at: Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Proposed resolution (Mikkalai vow of silence) Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 02:05, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Can you tell me why you altered my copy-in to a hidden window in this diff? It seems to me it makes it harder for me to get a response regarding the sockpuppetry and the broken WP:SSP creation link that way.
