Desysop request

Hey Bish, done that, added some of the other bits back (rollback, edit patrol etc), but just wanted to let you know you're no longer an admin and you didn't leave under a cloud. At least, not a Wiki-cloud. Hope all is well with you, happy new year, take care. The Rambling Man (talk) 20:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

• Is everything OK, Bish? If you need a break from adminship, no worries, of course, but wanted to check on you. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 01:29, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

• Mrs Bishonen is quite well, but (like myself) tired of some of the antics taking place here lately. In her (hopefully short) absence, I have been placed in charge of this page - I think it a pity she chose to throw her admin tools away rather than hand them over to someone wise who would have made good use of them - I can think of several people I would block if she had given them to me, but there you are - too late now. During her absence, I have been asked to remove all bots, stupid comments and posts from people I dislike. Good evening to you all.

Perhaps if you would have given her jewels and valuables back that you "retained", she would have let you have the tools? Maybe she thought that you wouldn't give those back either.

Thank you for the news, Your Ladyship. Herr Läufer shall wait for Frau Bishonen's return. Heimstern Läufer (talk) 05:27, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Why throw them away if you are just taking a break?—cyberpower (Talk to Me)(Contributions) 14:12, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Bish can ask for the bit back whenever. The Rambling Man (talk) 14:17, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Bear in mind that Bish will still be recovering from the serious health problem she had before Christmas. These things take longer than you think they will (like builders really) and it can get you quite down if you're *still* not 100%. I'm sure a break will be good, and she'll be back before Lady Catherine has auctioned the furniture. Elen of the Roads (talk) 14:37, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

until spring

Bishonen, the flowers are hibernating, too, awaiting your return. Nobody Ent 03:57, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Bishonen! One of your evil menagerie recently thanked me for fixing their pic. I hope this means Bishzilla won't try to eat me some time in the near future. That task is best left to my parents' elderly corgi.--Shirt58 (talk) 11:03, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Best Wishes

Hope all is well and wishing you a Happy and Prosperous New Year (Prospero Año Nuevo as we sometime-Spanish say). Get Well Soon/Speedy Recovery is offered also as applicable. ML (Much Love as we sometime-Scientologists say). Your friend --Lyncs (talk) 18:32, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

File source problem with File:William Congreve.png

Thank you for uploading File:William Congreve.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- ТимофейЛееСуда. 02:14, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

It's by Sir Godfrey Kneller (d. 1723), and as a reproduction of a three hundred year old painting, is in public domain in the U.S. by any sensible interpretation of policy.

If policy fundamentalists insist on deleting the little image, since Bish is absent and none of us know which website she got it from in 2004 (long before the current copyright paranoia began to spread like GMO kudzu) we can certainly switch to this one.

There are several versions of that image floating around, but I've added a source to this one, so it should be fine. Nikkimaria (talk) 02:58, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

No worries, the reference version is only used in an old userspace draft. Nobody Ent 03:00, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi Bishonen. You participated in the discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:User pages#Simulating the MediaWiki interface (joke banners redux). I have started an RfC about the issue: Misplaced Pages talk:User pages#RfC: Should "new messages" banner hoaxes be prohibited?. Cunard (talk) 05:12, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
