Images for List of notable Yu-Gi-Oh! cards

Why do you keep reverting ("exactly looking at a past version, editing it, and saving it" as this version 15:00, 16 April 2007 is the exact same as this version 18:25, 16 April 2007) the edits to this article?

I don't mind that your adding new images, but the Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Red-Eyes Black Dragon images don't match the size of the other images on the page. Deltaneos 20:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

But those look WAY nicer. --98E 20:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Uh-huh! But why do you undo all other edits? Deltaneos 21:10, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know, I just don't know. --98E 21:12, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits to Kyle Broflovski

Please do not assume ownership of articles such as Kyle Broflovski. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. Smomo 14:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Thank you.

Please do not revert the image. Wikipedia endorses using the SVG format. JameiLei 14:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

See User talk:Tweeks Coffee for info about the reverting. --98E 14:48, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

We can all use technicalities to get around the 3RR, but the point remains, why do you believe this image is superior to the SVG one? Provide a plausible explanation, and I'm sure people would be willing to swap the images. Smomo 14:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

It's not really a big deal. We'll just use both images. --98E 14:55, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Your edit on List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes

Just to let you know, that was not crystal balling since it has a reference directing to a reliable source. It is also notable. Your edit was reverted by User:AMK152. Squirepants101 22:32, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Please don't do that..

It confuses the archival bot--VectorPotential^Talk 00:01, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

But it is April 19, isn't it? --98E 00:02, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

It's RefDeskBot's job to add the date header, by adding the header before the bot gets to it, it confuses the bot, and results in having April 19th appear twice--VectorPotential^Talk 00:03, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, okay. I get it. --98E 00:04, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Help me

I posted this at the help desk, but got no response, so I'm asking it here: Is Template:PD-release a free copyright tag? --98E 00:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)}}

Yes, you release your copyrights to the public domain. Real96 00:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! --98E 00:12, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

(longer response, edit conflict) Yes it is, it means that the copyright holder (creator) no longer holds any copyright or copyleft (like the GFDL) over their work. It can be used for any purpose in any place, including Wikipedia. If you are the creator of the image/sound, there is a different tag (I don't remember what its called). Its preferred (though not required) that free images are upoladed to Wikimedia commons. You would have to set up another account there first but its not hard. Images uploaded there can be used on any Wikimedia project. You may want to at least check there to make sure a similar image to what you plan to upload doesn't already exist there. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 00:16, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Image

I had to remove Image:50 Cent Performing.jpeg because it seems to be copyrighted from http://msnbcmedia.msn.com/j/msnbc/Components/Photos/060426/060426_50cent_vmed_1p.widec.jpg. If the image was taken by a member on a forum, please provide the website & a transcript that shows the owner's permission. Cheers. Spellcast 00:31, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

It's still there. BTW, it was in the media section of the forum from April 12-April 16, but isn't anymore. Sorry. --98E 00:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

But the exact website is http://www.rapworlds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2. --98E 00:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

May not be on as much.

I may not be on as much, as I have now registered to that forum I linked to. --98E 00:42, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

3RR block

You have been temporarily blocked for violation of the three-revert rule. Please feel free to return after the block expires, but also please make an effort to discuss your changes further in the future.

The duration of the block is 24 hours. Here are the reverts in question. Nishkid64 00:32, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

98E (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

---

Request reason:

I wasn't reverting. It's only reverting if you revert to the exact previous code, but first, I was using {{sprotected}}, and then I used {{sprotect}}, then kept substituting, so it isn't reverting. --98E 00:38, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Many edit warriors believe that to be the case -- they are, however, all wrong. Partial or similar reverts are still reverts. Wikilawyering usually doesn't work. Please re-read the three revert rule, talk page guidelines, and the dispute resolution process. I hate to be such a spoilsport, but edit warring is unfortunately very disruptive. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:59, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

---

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

You basically kept changing to the "big padlock" template in every edit you made. People said why the small one was better, but you repeatedly kept changing it to the big padlock. 3RR does not say you have to revert to the exact text previously there, and what you did was just like that anyway. Anyway, it was disruptive, and you kept changing it to your preference despite other editors changing it back to the correct state. Nishkid64 00:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

But you don't understand, Wikipedia is my life; if I'm blocked, I could literally have a heart attack! --98E 01:01, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Image problems

Some of the images you are uploading have apparently fraudulent sources and/or licenses. Please note that if you are caught doing this with any more images that you upload, you will be banned indefinitely from the Wikipedia. I'm talking about images such as Image:Nas2.PNG. Once again, these actions will not be tolerated and any more violations will result in an indefinite block. This is your only warning. --Yamla 01:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Please restore the Nas image, I'm his step-son, I took the picture of him, and the license is correct. No reason to removed correctly tagged images. --98E 01:44, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Help!

I'm currently blocked for a misunderstanding, but I need to see the deletion log of File:Nas2.PNG. Can someone link to it for me? --98E 01:49, 20 April 2007 (UTC)}}

Sorry, only administrators can do that. Real96 01:53, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

(edit conflict) Deletion log as requested. In the future, you can go to Special:Log and then put in the name of the page. You don't need to be an admin to see the log. Mr.Z-mantalk¢ 01:54, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I was confused, I thought he wanted to see the image. Real96 01:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

More help, please!

helpme|How do I edit my userpage while blocked? I need to update something on it. --98E 01:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

When you are blocked, you can't edit any article or page. See WP:BLOCK. Real96 02:02, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Restore

Please restore the Nas image. Its licensing was correct, I did take the picture myself. --98E 02:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

April 1, 1997 tagged for speedy deletion

An article that you have been involved in editing, April 1, 1997, has been tagged for speedy deletion and deleted. Just thought I'd inform you. RazorICE 03:23, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Restore it

It would really help if you restored the Nas image seeing as it was correctly tagged.

Why can't you restore it? --98E 19:09, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

When?

When will the Nas image be restored? --98E 21:57, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about the edit to your userpage

I am sorry about the removal of an image from your userpage, but the uploader of one of your images lied about the photo being copyrighted but copyright owner allows free use. The source website stated that all rights were reserved, making the copyright tag invalid and therefore a copyright violation on the part of the uploader. Jesse Viviano 03:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry, I understand. --98E 01:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Sailor Mouth

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Talk:Sailor Mouth. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content which gains a consensus among editors. Please read Wikipedia:Profanity. In original Wikipedia content, a profanity should either appear in its full form or not at all; words should never be bowdlerized by replacing letters in the word with dashes, asterisks, or other symbols. Squirepants101 22:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

But, I see no reason at all to hate children. --98E 22:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Talk:Sailor Mouth, you will be blocked from editing. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 23:43, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

But I need to have him answer my question first! --98E 00:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Reversion of your icon changes

Hi, I have reverted your changes to the uw- series of warning templates. These templates and their icons have been discussed at length within both Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace and the project that was responsible for their formation Wikipedia:WikiProject user warnings. Any changes that are carried out to these warnings are usually done to all the warnings, to maintain a harmonised system. Before making any further changes to these templates may I suggest that you please discuss them in one of the projects I mentioned above. If you need any help or further clarification please don't hesitate to give me a shout. Cheers ^Khukri 07:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

You do not "own" talk page headings. Period.

Re: "But did I or did I not create the header? Since I did, I have a right to have it the way I want." No, you do not. This is not The WELL, and there is no "You Own Your Own Words" policy here. Please read WP:TALK and WP:REFACTOR among other guidelines, and learn more about how Wikipedia works before engaging in any more revert wars over trivia (or anything for that matter) and making any more proclamations about Wikipedia and its rules. Given the number of dire warnings you have already received above, I strongly suggest that you rethink your approach to Wikipedia, or you are likely to be blocked from editing. I trust that you are in fact a good faith editor, not an intentional vandal, but you are stepping on toes. Our maxim "Be Bold" does not mean be reckless or overly-insistent on your perceived "rights". — SMcCandlish [talk] [cont] ‹(-¿-)› 03:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

But changing my header is editing my comment, which is against the rules unless you're replying. If you aren't willing to follow the rules about other people's comments, please don't reply to them. --98E 22:19, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy delete?

Why does my category need to be speedy deleted? There are many images here that relate to Crash Bandicoot, and they need to be categorized under that category.

Note: Once you reply to this, alert me on my talk page, okay? --98E 00:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Look at the title of your category. --Haemo 00:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

OMG! I'll move it right away! --98E 00:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Snake image

Do you have a reason for constantly reverting the change of image for Snake Jailbird? The image you insist on using has many problems. Its tiny, it is not clear, Snake does not wear brown so it is not a good representation of the character, and most importantly it has no source whatsoever, meaning it cannot be used. The other image is all of these things. If you have a justified reason for changing the image please state so on my talk page. Gran² 20:04, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Nope, fair use image do need sources, in fact The Simpsons got taking to FAR because the images had no sources. Also the fact that he would originally have worn brown, means nothing. The fact is he doesn't now, meaning that the clearer image is alot better for the page. Also you still have no arguement for keeping an image which is clearly a lower quality. Why do you think your image is better is what I'm asking. Gran² 21:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

3RR on Homer Simpson

Hi there, I just thought I'd pop a quick message over here to ask you to take your disagreement on the mentioned article to its talk page. Revert warring damages the encyclopedia by creating an unstable source of information, please don't engage in it. I'm sure you already know but if you do continue to edit war then the normal outcome is a block. Thanks, Localzuk^(talk) 21:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Look at the diff's for my edits, and you will see that they're not exactly the same. --98E 21:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

May I just mention that to violate WP:3RR you the reverts don't have to be the same at all. I'm not sure what Localzuk was referring to (because I did not check your contributions), but I assume he meant reverting in part. I suggest you read up on the 3RR policies. Happy editing! --RazorICE 09:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

But why is that? If it's not exactly the past version, it shouldn't count because you're not making it the same as it was before. --98E 14:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I quote from WP:3RR:

"The three-revert rule (often referred to as 3RR) is a policy that applies to all Wikipedians, and is intended to prevent edit warring: An editor must not perform more than three reverts, in whole or in part, on a single page within a 24-hour period. A revert means undoing the actions of another editor, whether involving the same or different material each time."

Hope this clears it up for you! Feel free to inquire further, but I suggest you read the policy. --RazorICE 09:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

On ownership

I've reverted your removal of the "Request that the brackets don't link" section at Template talk:Fact. Quite simply, you don't own anything that you put there; just because someone didn't immediately do what you asked doesn't mean that you have the right to just up and remove the question. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Dude, just stop removing it. It isn't causing any problems, and you're coming across as exceedingly childish because of it. WP:3RR can still apply here; I really don't want to block you for something as stupid as repeatedly removing a section of a talk page, but you quite simply do not own anything you write. This is a collaborative environment. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:27, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

But it's my request. If I decide I don't want to keep it there anymore, it's none of your business. --98E 20:28, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Read WP:OWN. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:31, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

But why is my editing any of your business? --98E 20:39, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Because you're disrupting Wikipedia by ignoring its policies (WP:OWN and WP:3RR, specifically). If you weren't, I wouldn't be paying you any attention. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

But I'm not you, you're not me, so I'm actually none of your business. --98E 21:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Anyone who is ignoring Wikipedia policies is my business; administrators are tasked with the responsibility to help everything run smoothly. EVula // talk // ☯ // 21:46, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy keep

Hi and thanks for your input on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of one-off characters on South Park. I noticed you voted Speedy keepand I just thought I should mention that speedy keeps are only supposed to be used in very special cases (as described in WP:SK). Have a good day/ Pax:Vobiscum 10:51, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Need some help!

Is there an information template for video game screenshots? --98E 22:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright or just a regular template? Real96 22:31, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

What I mean is, I know there is a template for information on stuff you've created yourself, which can be found here, and there's a template for TV screenshots you took, which can be found here, but is there a similar template for video game screenshots? --98E 20:51, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm... I've been looking around a bit, and haven't managed to find one, yet. – Luna Santin (talk) 21:19, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Look at the question above, and answer it now that I've made myself more specific. --98E 21:08, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

You could have at least have done a search on a video game to find out the correct template for uploading such as Mario. The answer to your question is located here, in regards to copyright [2]. Real96 21:32, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

That's not how I meant it. --98E 21:33, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Image tagging for Image:PikachuMouse.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:PikachuMouse.PNG. The image has been identified as not specifying the source and creator of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the source and creator of the image on the image's description page, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided source information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Copyright problems with Image:Eminem.jpg

An image that you uploaded, Image:Eminem.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Muchness 21:45, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

I explained it there, thanks for notifying me. --98E 21:54, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, if you have obtained permission from the image's copyright holder (i.e., the Associated Press) to use the image under a GFDL-compatible license, please make a note of that fact on the image's page, and send a copy of your correspondence to "permissions-en AT wikimedia DOT org". Otherwise this copyright image's use on Wikipedia is subject to Wikipedia's policies regarding copyrights and fair use. --Muchness 22:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, since this is an AP photo, it will almost automatically fail fair use criteria #2, as the use of the photo on Wikipedia does replace its market role, as AP makes money selling photos to newspapers and magazines. Ytny (talk) 13:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Double Redirects

When moving pages, please remember to fix any double redirects. These can create slow, unpleasant experiences for the reader, waste server resources, and make the navigational structure of the site confusing. Thank you. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 20:31, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Oh, so you mean, I look at what links to a page, and it is a double redirect page, I fix it by making it link to the correct title? --98E 20:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

If you mean, when you look at "what links here" and it looks like:

←Article

The following pages link to Article

• new page location(A) (redirect page)

• old page location(B) (redirect page)

...Old page would be double redirect. In your case, if you move a page(B) that is a redirect to location (A), the old page(B) needs to redirect to point at the target of the new page (wherever B points to). This is probably confusing and incoherent, so ask me on my talk if you have any other questions. If not, Happy Editing! SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 23:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Note to my fellow Wikipedians

I think you've noticed that I have fair use images on my page. Well, they normally wouldn't be allowed, but seeing as they all have fair use rationales, they can be used anywhere. Please don't remove them. --98E 23:20, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

It does not matter whether they have fair use rationales or not. WP:NONFREE#Policy specifically states that non-free images should not be used on any other namespace, besides the article namespace. To prove it, here is an excerpt from the policy:

Non-free images may be used only in the article namespace. They should never be used on templates (including stub templates and navigation boxes) or on user pages. To prevent an image category from displaying thumbnails, add to it. They should be linked, not inlined, from talk pages when they are the topic of discussion. This is because it is the policy of the Wikimedia Foundation to allow an unfree image only if no free alternative exists and only if it significantly improves the article it is included on. All other uses, even if legal under the fair use clauses of copyright law, should be avoided to keep the use of unfree images to a minimum. Exceptions can be made on a case-by-case basis if there is a broad consensus that doing so is necessary to the goal of creating a free encyclopedia (like the gallery of Category:Replaceable fair use images, which is needed to help people find images to replace).

You are not excluded from this policy. Squirepants101 23:32, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

Then if you're going to remove them, please do so here as well. --98E 23:34, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I have asked Cat's Tuxedo on whether I can remove the images. I am waiting for a reply. Squirepants101 00:01, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} On the Stan Marsh article, there was a revision that said he was 12, which is obviously not true, but can someone link to the revision for me? --98E 00:31, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. What you need to do is browse through article's history until you find it. It gives you a handy comparison, two pages at a time, and you can hit the little arrows for "older edits" and "newer edits" to scroll through it. Good luck! Nerwen 00:34, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Category:South Park images‎

See Category:Wikipedia non-free content criteria exemptions and Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. It's a category with only non-free content images. Therefore the nogallery has to be on there. Do not revert it again. Garion96 (talk) 22:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Despite the fact that no gallery makes it look horrible. --98E 22:21, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

It's not an article so it's okay it it looks horrible. :) It's just to collect the different images together, not really to make it into a gallery. Garion96 (talk) 22:26, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

I am reverting your edit

You need to provide a rationale for reverting my photo to the inferior first version. I am reverting your edit. I notice from your talk page that you seem to be engaging in a consistent pattern of violating Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Please keep in mind that users who consistently engage in such behavior will be blocked. Take a look at what happened to the last user I encountered who stubbornly refused to conform his conduct to Wikipedia policy. --Coolcaesar 20:50, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

The first one looks better. --98E 21:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

In what way? I took the second one specifically because the first one was washed out by the sunlight (it had recently rained) and because the sign configuration at Loyola Corners is a nonstandard configuration (the CROSS TRAFFIC DOES NOT STOP sign is usually right next to the stop sign, not at the base). The second picture is more standard, compact, easier to read, and better saturated (keep in mind that most people will see ONLY the thumbnail in the Stop sign article).

In general, if you are going to interfere with other Wikipedia users' edits, you need to be able to articulate a coherent, detailed rationale rather than a blank statement of personal opinion like "it looks better." --Coolcaesar 21:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

{{uw-block3}}

Hey, I reverted your change again, as you said you'd notified but hadn't. could you discuss the change first at either WT:UTM or WT:UW as I put in the my edit summary before making the changes again please. These templates have been discussed at some length and whilst changes and improvements are appreciated, changes without edit summary can be seen to be unhelpful and confusing. Cheers ^Khukri 21:22, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

See the talk page, I did say it there. --98E 21:24, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Yep I saw that afterwards my mistake. The non-shiny one looks better. and wording change are your opinion. I've asked you to discuss the changes first but your not interested in waiting for a discussion. I'm not interested in getting into WP:3RR here, so I am going to leave a notice on WP:ANI for someone outside to have a look at it, as I'm not going to revert for a third time without reason. ^Khukri 21:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Khukri. I have reverted your change for now and suggest awaiting a broader consensus to change the image. --Guinnog 21:53, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

A note related to this edit summary, that revert still counts towards 3RR, as the effect of your edit was to revert to the previous version. If you revert again, you will likely be blocked. - auburnpilot talk 21:56, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Why should it count if it doesn't have the same content? Then it's hella not a revert, despite that being in the 3RR, because it makes no sense. --98E 21:58, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

It absolutely makes sense. You intentionally reverted to a previous version in order to restore your content and only added additional material because you believed that would save you from a block. That is clearly a revert. - auburnpilot talk 22:02, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Please...... leave it in it's orginal state ....for now.... put on post on WP:UTM why you think it should be changed and take it from there. ^Khukri 22:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Then answer my question. --98E 22:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Notice

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for violating the three revert rule. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

You've been warned several times by users, and you insist on arguing with everyone. I highly recommend you read the policies that users are citing; your responses indicate an ignorance of their exact content. EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:04, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

Okay, I admit it. That was a violation. If you will just please unblock me, I promise to never revert anything again. --98E 22:03, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The block is valid. You ignored requests to stop and deliberately tried to game the system here. — Finlay McWalter - Talk 22:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Userpage edit request

In the "Free use images I like" section of my userpage, can someone add this image? Remember to size it at 152px. --98E 22:30, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

No, because fair use images can't be used on userspace. Real96 22:35, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Read the damn image page! The image is free, Trey Parker uplaoded it to Commons, and released it under a free license! --98E 22:36, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Stay cool, its done. Have a nice day. SmileToday☺(talk to me , My edits) 22:37, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! --98E 22:39, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Civilty is important. If you keep acting uncivil, the duration of your block may be elongated by an administrator. Real96 22:45, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

And one other note, please do not use the help request template in order to have people make edits for you during your block. This is highly inappropriate. - auburnpilot talk 22:47, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Blocked indefinitely

You have been indefinitely blocked for trolling, copyright violation, and impersonation. Picaroon (Talk) 22:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Request reason:

Impersonation? I never use extra accounts. If you see other accounts from this IP, they're used by the other people in my house. By copyright violation, if you mean about the Eminem image I uploaded that got deleted, I did have permission from the website I obtained it from. And could you show me some examples of trolling? --98E 23:01, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Greetings. After careful review of your public contributions and the private IP evidence I have determined beyond a reasonable doubt that you created an account on Wikimedia Commons claiming to be Trey Parker in order to circumvent our copyright related rules. This behavior is against our stated policy and the established moral code of our community. We take copyright seriously and the freedom and legality of our collection is important to us. As such, your request to be unblocked has been denied.—Gmaxwell 23:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following code, substituting {{subst:Decline reason here}} with a specific rationale. Leaving the decline reason unchanged will result in display of a default reason, explaining why the request was declined.

{{unblock reviewed |1=I am related to Trey and he created an account there today. I have a strange relationship with many famous people. Please re-consider. --[[User:98E|98E]] 23:34, 2 May 2007 (UTC) |decline = {{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following, substituting Accept reason here with your rationale:
