You're telling me this link is giving you a 404 error? I can see the article using that link. Morbidthoughts (talk) 06:15, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

My bad. I have a stupid Greasemonkey script that was bypassing the web archive. I apologize. --Damiens.rf 16:43, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

I have replied noting that the admin has done everything ok. let me know if there are any questions you have. MWOAP (talk) 17:28, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Reverting to his preferred version before protecting and starting a talk page discussion was not "everything ok", regardless of the merits of his version. --Damiens.rf 18:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Please note that the admin could not avoid this because of new content between the stable and bad versions. He took a neutral stance. --MWOAP (talk) 19:21, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

I respectfully disagree. The admin did not take a neutral instance. He reverted to a version he authored and have been revert-warring to keep. --Damiens.rf 19:26, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Damiens.rf. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Wikipedia:Wikiquette alerts regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Tony the Marine (talk) 02:07, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Wikibreak? You'll be back in some weeks and I'll welcome you back with a link to this very post. Wikipedia:Don't feed the divas. I wish you a Happy New Year. --Damiens.rf 05:15, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Newbie's involvement

Hello, Damiens.rf. I just wanted to ask you why are you being so rude to others on wikipedia? All users on wikipedia are to be polite and helpful to each other and you lack that. Like Tony Marine said, you are involved in a open case and we need your reply. Thanks,--GeneralCheese 04:43, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

"All users on wikipedia are to be polite and helpful to each other and you lack that", sure. --Damiens.rf 04:47, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Why do you do that?--GeneralCheese 05:10, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Please, be specific. You just popped up on my user page accusing me of rudeness following a complaint from someone that have called me a "Fascist" in one occasion. This is a project to make the bulk of human knowledge freely available. When you try to misuse it to promote Puerto_Rico's comrades you'll face some problems. Nothing new. --Damiens.rf 05:19, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Im not gonna overflow your talkpage so go here [1].--GeneralCheese 08:55, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been temporarily blocked from editing Wikipedia as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated.

As you continue to be rude, insulting, hound people, and be unresponsive to the communitie's concerns, take this one week break to think about the issues. Hopefully you'll realize what caused this to pass and won't do it again. Just a few recent examples: [2], WQ thread, and driving away a longtime productive user. Wiki is a consensus based environment and your behavior is highly counterproductive to that. — Rlevse • Talk • 18:09, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

This is not the first time you do a punitive block to me. How will this week off resolve any of the problems you see? Also, don't worry about the "longtime productive user". He'll be back maybe before your block expires. That's just the usual drama. --Damiens.rf 20:13, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

A few more recent examples: [3], [4], [5] — Rlevse • Talk • 18:15, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

It is not punitive. Myself and others have told you that you need to stop this behavior. Since you fail to heed that, this block is preventing such behavior for the near term and hopefully you'll use that time to realize you need to mend the ways you insult and hound other users. — Rlevse • Talk • 20:17, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

If I promise I will hold my thong, avoid commenting about any editor (and just report - and never reply - whenever an editor comment on me), would you unblock me? If I fail, you can block me for, like, 12 days. Deal?

Of course, if unblocked, I will continue my image cleaning operations (just without saying nothing about no user!). If the problem is actually my nominations, and not my behavior, then this negotiation would no be interesting for you. --Damiens.rf 20:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)--Damiens.rf 20:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Ok, nevermind. I guess I understand what the problem actually is. --Damiens.rf 03:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

block

Damien,

I hope you take this time to reflect upon why it has happened. You work is vital to the project, as vital as that of any active editor. But even the best work can be undone by not understanding the need for civility. Also, try to understand that ultimately all policies are irrelevant: there is only building an encyclopedia. Protecting the project from legal action in terms of copyright cannot be done at the expense of building relevant content, however uninteresting it is to you personally.--24.47.111.41 (talk) 19:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Damien, all you needed to do was just respond to the case that was open and behave, that's all i asked. But i got an update that you continued your rude behavior, so thats just to let you know, that you deserved to be blocked. Now like everyone else said, take these 7 days to think about what you did and how to react with other wikipedians. Cheers,--GeneralCheese 21:04, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

Hector Santiago Photo

Hi there. Basically I saw a source online (similar to this but not this actual one) that indicated its origin as stated on the image page. I considered the press angle but given that he was only a spec-4 and the shot's composition I didn't think that likely. I'll spend some time in the next days and find the online source with some provenance again - google images can be very frustrating. - Peripitus (Talk) 21:11, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Your mass deleting files uploaded by User:Marine 69-71

I just thought you should know I added the folloing comment to the talk page of the file deletion workspace page. I work primarily on US military biographical articles, especially Medal of Honor recipients and I have noticed a huge number of files coming up recommended for deletion by a single user User:Damiensrf. Upon further review it appears that nearly all of the files that this user is focusiing their attention on belong to one user, User:Marine 69-71. Due to the sheer volume of files that this user has submitted for deletion many of them are being automatically deleted because knowone argues them and given that he is submitting dozens a day I simply don't have the time to go through each and every one of them to argue points for or against. Although there are some that I agree should probably be deleted there are many that I do not. Since it appears to me that this Damiens user is using this file deletion process as a means to attack the Marine 69-71 user I refuse to vote either way on any of them and I recommend that Damiens be limited to files not uploaded by Marine 69-71. --Kumioko (talk) 21:44, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I have no knowledge of or opinion of interaction between Damiens.rf and Marine 69-71. However, if there is some history there, is that a reason not to submit articles and or files for deletion if they otherwise might meet deletion criteria? If someone is mass-deleting without checking individual files, wouldn't you want to check with that person? And, unless I'm reading the logs wrong, hasn't Marine 69-71 deleted a bunch of them in the past?  Frank  |  talk  22:16, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I'm crossposting this from the Files for Deletion talk - I've skimmed through some of the images that User:Damiens.rf has put up for deletion, and the ones that I have looked at seem to be legitimate concerns about the copyright status of the images. I don't see that they are frivolous or abusive complaints. If I saw that most of the images reported by User:Damiens.rf were fraudulent or erroneous claims, then I could see your complaint. Which ones do you think should stay on wikipedia because their copyright status is properly documented? I could help out, but I didn't see anything blatant. I think a good use of your time would be, especially since you have an interest in US military articles, to defend those images that you believe to have a reasonable claim to staying on wikipedia, rather than just opting out of the process altogether and complaining here. The project page says this "To quote the non-free content criteria, 'it is the duty of users seeking to include or retain content to provide a valid rationale; those seeking to remove or delete it are not required to show that one cannot be created — see burden of proof.' " - Chromatikoma (talk) 22:30, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Posting valid IFDs is not a pass to ignore legit community concerns and wikihound users by following them around. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:24, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Medal of Honor and award citations

Please do not delete the award citations from the articles, especially from the Medal of Honor recipient articles. Although I believe that your edits are well intentioned it is acceptable, appropriate and IMPORTANT to have the actual citation available on the article. I am going to go back through and revert any that I find but please stop doing it. Additionally, I noticed that you again are targetting only those articles that were relating to puerto rican recipients and have been worked on by User:Marine 69-71. Whatever problem you have with this user or with puerto ricans, I recommend you let it go or I will be forced to request that you be, at least temporarily, blocked from editing.--Kumioko (talk) 22:00, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

Please, consider using Wikisource (or nothing at all). Encyclopedic articles are not supposed to be homages to the subjects covered, and those articles were turned into that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Damiens.rf (talk • contribs)

Wikisource is not the only valid reference. What makes MOH recipients notable is the MOH and reporting it's wording is homage, but legit article info. — Rlevse • Talk • 03:23, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Ok, At first I considered that the edits you were making were well intentioned, but now I think you are being argumentative. I asked you not to remove teh citations and yet you did it anyway. I have again reverted those articles back to their previous state before you vandalized them. Please stop doing this because you are distracting me from real edits. I will be asking for you to be blocked from editing for a period of a week. Maybe they will and maybe they won't but that is what I am going to request. --Kumioko (talk) 04:02, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
