BADSITES

Good essay. If you start to work on getting the WP:NPA policy changed, of work to change this in other ways, let me know and consider me on board. --David Shankbone 13:54, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Cliques

This is in response to your statement that Slim Virgin is "a powerful clique member".

There is a Clique, yes - a Conspiracy, a Cabal, a Hidden Cluster of Admins Communicating With Each Other Out Of The Public Eye Ooh Spooky Scary.

And you know what?

Slim isn't one of us.

Oh, she is an old-timer, I'll admit (and oh god, "three years ago" is "old times"?), and she's dropped by once or twice. But I'm a regular - I'm there almost daily - and in all that time I don't think I've seen her more than once. DS 02:05, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Well, the thing about cliques is that there can be more than one of them. You're obviously in a different clique from hers. *Dan T.* 02:07, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Amazing, and I thought all we regulars knew about Slim, SqueakBox 02:13, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, guess, it involves SV, alternate accounts, and lots more at AN/I !

Um... if we are going to play "Good Cop/Bad Cop" couldn't you at least have told me? I might have wanted to be "bad cop"! nb. I hereby confirm that this is (intended as) a humourous edit! ;~) LessHeard vanU 16:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Don Murphy

If you are referring to the Michael Moore thing then you should understand that this is a different case. Michael Moore didn't go around demanding personal information and the address of Ted Frank. Don Murphy goes around asking for those very things. I'm not worried about what Murphy will do, I'm worried about his fans, who may do anything to please him. You may say that that does nothing to damage Wikipedians, the information is already available to these fans; but you should understand that by allowing such a link, we are almost condoning the actions taken by Murphy. I won't remove it, but I'm certainly not happy it is there. Saturday ^Contribs 00:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

See also, WP: NPA External Links. On second thought, per that part of policy, I will remove the link. If you wish to put it back we can start a discussion on the talk page with a third party. Saturday ^Contribs 00:11, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I've put this on WP:VPP as I am tired of seeing this issue come up over and over. Mangoe 13:02, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Childrensdigest-1950-10.png

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Childrensdigest-1950-10.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 01:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Image source problem with Image:Afgnic.png

Image Copyright problem

This is an automated message from a robot. You have recently uploaded Image:Afgnic.png. 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, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 12:41, 7 September 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If you believe you received this message in error, please notify the bot's owner.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Seven-deadly-enemies-of-man.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Seven-deadly-enemies-of-man.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 05:20, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Defender 911's earlier comment:"Unnecessary".

“ Your concerns are understandable but this was totally out of line. If I'd wanted a diagnosis on my mental conditions, I would've asked! Please don't do this ever again! ”

--Defender 911 (Leave a message!) 01:04, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

He is right, you know. We aren't a hospital, and we aren't a therapy center. Maybe you should talk to him. If you can't, find someone who can get in contact with him. You might have driven him off. --The Wiki Loner (Let's chat!) 10:26, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Those comments were in response to this, where that user objected to me using "Obsessive-compulsiveness" as the headline of a comment where I criticized his behavior. I didn't "drive him off", however; he was soon banned. *Dan T.* 12:06, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Oh, you didn't? Why does it say then, and I quote "This user left Wikipedia" on his talk page? And please paste your response onto my talk page so I know you've responded; I will not watch your page. --The Wiki Loner (Let's chat!) 17:41, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, I removed your Rutabaga comment because I worry it might be accused of disrupting wikipedia to prove a point / might otherwise hurt your case. But it's totally up to you-- please feel free to add it back in if you're sure you want it. Alecmconroy 20:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC) (ps, it did make me chuckle)
