:Media photos are generally usable under fair use when they depict a distinctive event which is unlikely to be repeated. The lack of substitutes for the work is a major factor in whether fair use is acceptable or not. I stand by my original decision in this matter. ] (]) 12:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC) :Media photos are generally usable under fair use when they depict a distinctive event which is unlikely to be repeated.

Kelly Martin, I've added to this discussion with a solution that will hopefully please everyone, and be useful. When you have get a chance, please comment on that talk page. — xaosflux 02:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello again

If we're on one of your "lists" well... that's just fine with us. We're glad that you were able to attend Wikimania 2006 and wish that we could've been there.

Looking through the Flickr stuff that folks uploaded, your pics on the ArbCom at WM'06 do you justice (unlike some of the other pics floating around). The last time that we commented was for sure critical of your demeanor. That hasn't changed in either your comportment or our perception of it (you're tough but fair). But, no problem. When we first arrived, we were overwhelmed with the diversity hereabouts. The longer we hung around the more comfortable we became with our surrounding community of folks.

So Kelly Martin, the reason for this post is to say that you are brave indeed to stand for "office" while knowing full well that those who have a grudge against you will take this opportunity to strike out against you. We don't know for sure how we'll be voting but your courage is enviable. We wish you well and hope that we are never at odds with you *tremors abound* hereabouts . ;-) --hydnjo talk 03:31, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I've tried to get Kelly mad at me on a few occasions but all she ever does is "Moo" back at me, so I've given up in exasperation. Sometimes life just don't seem worth livin'. Barry Wells 21:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

User:MathStatWoman

I would like to seek your opinion. You have dealt with this user before, and you made a comment that you were tempted to try to block or ban her. She has continued to make personal attacks, create unencyclopedic pages, and generally create havoc in Misplaced Pages (including bad editing, poor markup, a lack of regard for policy, and inappropriate editing). Do you think it is time to consider banning this user? Chris53516 14:11, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Specifically, Chris may be referring to your sockpuppetry confirmation back in January (User_talk:MathStatWoman#Sockpuppetry). This user has recently become active again, with all the troubles Chris mentioned (including this recent article edit), to the point where even my Wiki-politics inertia may get overcome to consider an RfC or some sort of community involvement. I just wanted to check to make sure it would still be appropriate to refer to your January determination in discussions of this user. Thanks - David Oberst 19:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
I have nothing to either add or remove from my prior statement. Kelly Martin (talk) 01:20, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/MONGO

Hello,

An Arbitration case in which you commented has been opened: Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/MONGO. Please add evidence to the evidence sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/MONGO/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration/MONGO/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, Thatcher131 (talk) 13:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Sensitive IP addresses

On this page (linked from MediaWiki:Blockiptext) there is a request that the committee be immediately notified of blocks, but the committee page appears to have inadequate options on how best to contact the committee to get immediate attention. Not everyone will prefer to or be able to use the mailing list contact method. Can you suggest some other contact options that would work well for the committee (committee talk page?, contact a member?)? Thanks. NoSeptember 13:39, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

We discussed this at today's meeting. We will be creating a subpage on Meta for making these reports. Meta is enotif enabled, so making an edit there will notify by email people who are watching the page with email notifications enabled. Creating this page is on my agenda for today; hopefully I will get to it. Kelly Martin (talk) 15:36, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

CheckUser backlog

Hi there,

I'm sending this message out to the 6 active admin with CheckUser priveleges. Just wanted to let you all know that there is a lengthy backlog on the CheckUser page and it has not been checked since August 21, 2006. According to the CheckUser site, it says that user records expire within a week or so, so it would be great if one of you could go through it sometime soon. Thanks, --Palffy 20:15, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

DYK

Updated DYK query On 29 August, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Bubba (fish), which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Enjoyed reading the article. Many thanks for the contribution! -- Samir धर्म 08:23, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Kelly, this image has been tagged by you with {{Reviewedfairuse}}. The image is a media photo and normally not considered fair use under WP:FAIR#Counterexamples #5. Could you explain how this image qualifies for fair use? BigDT 12:03, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Media photos are generally usable under fair use when they depict a distinctive event which is unlikely to be repeated. The lack of substitutes for the work is a major factor in whether fair use is acceptable or not. I stand by my original decision in this matter. Kelly Martin (talk) 12:09, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:AGF

I feel a little dirty having to say this to you, but I must insist that you WP:AGF, that I believed the various forked article, were infact POV-forks that were unhelpful to the encyclopedia. If you review the not-revert that I initially did to the pooh article, you will note that I took steps to remove irrelevent and unencyclopedic information to the extent I could (). I look forward to work on the article with you. JBKramer 18:29, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
