Global warming controversy

Hi, the removed graph in the Global warming controversy article did not add any value to the article but was simply repeating what was already said in the text. In this context it pretty much looks like a piece of propaganda, so why keeping it in the article? Will remove it. cheers--Czalex 17:22, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

I didn't produce the graph or add it to the article, so I don't really have a view on it, but I'll copy your comments to Talk:Global warming controversy so that other editors can give their view. Prioryman (talk) 21:07, 3 September 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tom Cruise, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Vanity Fair (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Fortress of Mimoyecques

Well done, I've passed the article. There are a couple small issues with refs that should be cleared up soon though, I left a note on the GA review. Good work! Mark Arsten (talk) 17:10, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Gibraltar National Day

Yes it's our National Day, and what a day it's been! :D --Gibmetal 77^{talk 2 me} 22:13, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Ah, congratulations! I noticed that one of the Olympic or Paralympic Team GB athletes was waving a Gibraltarian flag, too. Prioryman (talk) 22:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Is the {{GFDL-with-disclaimers}} tag valid here? I see that it wasn't added by you but by a different user. --Stefan2 (talk) 09:09, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of that but I don't have any objection to the use of that tag. Does it need to be migrated to a different tag or something? Prioryman (talk) 12:22, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

I moved over the file to Commons at File:Cabinet War Rooms.jpg. I forgot about one thing: files licensed as GFDL before 2008 (or so) were automatically relicensed ("migrated") from GFDL to CC-BY-SA at some point. I am not sure if the above confirmation of the licence means that the file was licensed as GFDL in 2004 or if it means that it was licensed as such today, so I set the file to "migration=review" on Commons. If you approve relicensing, could you click here and change "migration=review" to "migration=relicense"? If you don't approve relicensing, please change it to "migration=ineligible" instead.

There is also the "subject to disclaimers" part. If you don't mind removing the disclaimer, you could also change "GFDL-en" into a plain "GFDL". I'm not sure if you've heard of the GFDL disclaimer issue, but in a nutshell, someone made the mistake of adding the words "Subject to disclaimer" to the GFDL template a few years ago. See WP:FIXGFDL if you are interested in the background. --Stefan2 (talk) 17:49, 13 September 2012 (UTC)

Suggestion

Hi Prioryman, just a suggestion--feel free to disregard/ignore, but I'd recommend that you stop posting on Jimbo's talk page about the current Gibraltar business (and other topics related to Wikipediocracy). There are a lot of trolls and socks running around, and it's probably best to avoid them. If you continue to discuss the issue, please avoid comments like this, whether accurate or not, probably won't lead to a change of behavior on the other user's part. Mark Arsten (talk) 22:24, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

What do you suggest doing about the socks? They're pretty obvious, aren't they? Prioryman (talk) 22:48, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

I'd just ping an admin about it and ask them to take action. I don't have much experience dealing with sock-blocks, I think Dennis Brown is good with that. Mark Arsten (talk) 23:32, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
