Megastar

Hi Yamla, I am the one who changed the article on megastar to add Chiranjeevi from Indian Cinema. If you actually look Chiranjeevi up, there are many sources that cite him as "Megastar." I think he deserves to be on this article. If you could please put him there that would be great. Thank you.

In that case, please find a citation that meets WP:RS. Remember, blogs and such are not reliable. Thanks. --Yamla 03:39, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This user seems to be using wiki for self-advertising. How would you approach this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/38.104.124.14

User: Evil Sheep

I used to go to the school Evil Sheep goes to, which happens to the that of the article which was vandalised. Evil Dog derived his username from Evil Sheep, and presumably his account was still logged in once he came off the computer. I hope you can take what I said into consideration and perhaps think about revoking his block. - Dark Prime

ATL 2

There will be no ATL 2, so you can delete that.

Hi Yamla

Vandal

Hello, no time for an introduction, but User:Tjsynkral keeps blanking his talk page, despite being warned by me, and two other users, he also dropped a message on my page that seems like a threat. Could you please warn him? Brain40 [talk] [contributions]

Apology for posideon comment

Yamla

    I received your comment and I would like to apologise for this. I was trying to give people a perspective on how studio bosses forecast a movies commercial expectations. Any other comments that I make I will makesure there is 100% truth in what I type. I know your dedication to this site is extroadinary, whatever mistake/s I make I promise you they are not intentional mistakes.
                       Thank you and sorry again. 

USER: BRADYBANG

Hello friend, the link I added adds value for a techy but not sure for others who do administrative jobs. In the same section there are other four articles which are now outdated and also having biased informations. I wouls like you to add the same link after an evaluation to appropriate section of the page. I am an unbiased person towards both the languages and has got my fingers burnt by both languages. I am open for a discussion. Since I am a new person I don't know much about the formalities of wiki. I just saw the message be bold to edit in wiki page. Hence I did it. I would appretiate if you could include the same article on behalf of me or guide me to include the same. Thank You Jayaram Ganapathy

Thankssssss:-)

I finnaly understood and I am going to look for photos from tomorrow. I`m so happy we are friends, so happy. Now I understand alll. Thank you so much for your help. you`re the best. And I hope you forgive me for my previous conduct. By the way rhnks for the welcome. Thanks again. PreityFan.

Jackp = RaptorRobot = Angel2001??

Hi Yamla. I think I might have found another User:Jackp and User:RaptorRobot sock. Editing both Sydney and Hollywood articles (including Jack's standard Reese Witherspoon and Kubrick film articles). kind regards --Merbabu 14:30, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and he's been active on the Template:Toronto landmarks; first swapping it with Sydney's info, then blanking it. Jack sees Toronto and Sydney as rivals, and he has often made the opposite change to a Toronto page than he does for Sydney. Merbabu 14:34, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Best to pass this one along to WP:CHECK, I think. --Yamla 14:56, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to let you handle this one, I have told the IP that I have contacted you. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 15:46, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

I dont know what I did wrong or what was vandalism. I just put Donald trump as Lashley's manager because of WM23.

Superbowl controversy

I have a hard time understanding how I vandalized the controversy related to the Justin Timberlake/Janet Jackson article. I corrected the wrong and misleading information that was presented. The article mentioned that because Jackson was wearing a nipple ring ("nipple shield" as it states") that it somehow cause suspicion on the so-called accident. That is irrelevant and highly unjustifiable to make mention of. Lastly, I edited the part where it was written that "also, Janet took her time to cover up," That is NOT true. In the original airing, the commercials cut right after the 2 seconds her breast was exposed anyhow, so who is anyone to judge and make assumptions? Further more, there are plenty of still images that show Jackson cover herself up with people handing her a towel meanwhile Timberlake is just standing there. In his own words on Entertainment Tonight, he does mention that [they] were doing that. And that is why I edited those two lines. Its not "vandalism" it is correction.

please unblock lazio_gio

Sorry Yamla if I did not provide a reason within the required parameters, but if you look at my page I have provided numerous reasons for unblocking (namely I am not Vince B) Please just compare the edits. Thank you

Noticed you deleted the image, not entirely sure why, since I added a fair use rationale to it almost immediately after uploading. In addition, I'm sure I placed it on the Peep Show page and saved the changes, but that change seems to have vanished along with the image. Just wondering why the image was deleted, or if it was deleted before I had a chance to add the rationale (from the logs it shows a few hours before you deleted it, and I definately added the rationale within five mins) Hurball 19:56, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:FU. Fair-use images may not be used to depict a living person. No rationale is sufficient and this was a blatant copyright violation, being used in disregard for the image's license. --Yamla 15:06, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
How about I change the rationale to suit the character in question, not the actress? It was a screen from one episode of Peep Show, and therefore there will be a suitable rationale for it. Hurball 10:09, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you are using it to provide critical commentary on that particular episode of the t.v. show (that is, not simply for illustration), that would be fine. --Yamla 13:52, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't remove content from my talk page.

You recently erased a users edit from my talk page. I would prefer you not remove anything from my talk page even if the editors are sockpuppets. I can take care of my own talk page and since it wasn't 'vandalism' there was no need to remove it. WP:DENY is not a policy or a guideline but an "essay". Thanks. Wikidudeman (talk) 22:15, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was vandalism. It was a comment from a banned vandal deliberately trying to stir up a conflict. --Yamla 15:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I've never seen any evidence it was from Verdict.Wikidudeman (talk) 21:16, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No, but I assure you that such evidence exists. I am prevented by privacy policy from showing you all the evidence we have. --Yamla 22:19, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Evidence exists but you can't show it to me? Wow, Image what would happen if a prosecutor said that in court? "I have evidence that this man is guilty but none of you can see it!" Supposedly this person uses Proxy IP's. If this is the case then you couldn't determine their identity that way. Which leaves only the commonality between their and Verdict's edits. The person only made a single edit and I saw absolutely no relation between their edits so that can't be evidence either. So where exactly does that leave us?Wikidudeman (talk) 22:32, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wikidudeman, please stop. Yamla is an administrator who can see deleted info that the public can't. Take it as it is, and move on, otherwise it's trolling. Thanks. Wikidan829 22:37, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please WP:AGF. I am assuming good faith with Yamla and not jumping to conclusions, please do the same towards me. If Yamla can see deleted edits then that would have nothing to do with Privacy policy.Wikidudeman (talk) 22:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a court. Administrators are not permitted to reveal all information they have, sometimes because of our privacy policy, sometimes because doing so would compromise the project. Verdict has a long history here and his modus operandi (excuse the spelling) is well established. We have performed numerous checkusers on this banned vandal, though the specific results are not open to the public. I wish I could tell you more but I'm afraid I cannot do so. --Yamla 22:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If he's using Proxy's then what good would a user check do? You can tell me that without violating privacy policy. "Modus operandi" means mode of operation, I.E. habits. This would have nothing to do with a check user but to do with the said users actual posts. The said user had only 1 post and it wasn't enough to determine anything. This means that either there are posts that he made that aren't visible or were deleted from the database somehow or his being banned as s sock of Verdict had nothing to do with the content of his posts. If it's the former then that has nothing to do with privacy policy and if the latter then nothing to do with anything.Wikidudeman (talk) 22:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I cannot discuss this with you any further. If you are concerned that my action here was inappropriate, please find an administrator you trust and have them contact me. I will explain the situation to the administrator and this would allow me to avoid violating privacy and disclosing how I knew this user was Verdict without placing Wikipedia in danger of further vandalism from this user. --Yamla 22:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
So you're halting all discussions here as you did on the talk page of Brock Lesnar? I see. I asked questions who's answers wouldn't violate Wikipedia's privacy policy but it seems you're unwilling to answer them either. Wikidudeman (talk) 22:57, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If your goal is to verify that my actions were appropriate, I have provided you a means to do so. --Yamla 22:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TheReferencingGod

Is there any reason to believe that TheReferencingGod (talk · contribs) is the same person as User:Davnel03 who has been blocked indefinitely? Burntsauce 20:25, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. They appear to edit the same sort of articles. That is, wrestling articles (and possibly, car racing articles). However, this alone is not sufficient to show this account is an abusive sockpuppet. What made you think of Davnel03? --Yamla 20:29, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please see IP reference here and here. Cheers Wikidan829 20:33, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hhhmm. Given the similarity of edits, it seems reasonable to believe that TheReferencingGod (talk · contribs) is indeed the blocked vandal, Davnel03 (talk · contribs). I'll see what he has to say. --Yamla 20:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Forget it, I've looked into the contribution history in more detail. Clearly an abusive sockpuppet, blocking and reverting all contributions. --Yamla 20:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yamla - I appreciate your response regarding best practices for external links. The site I tried to add as an external link is a site which contributes to the college cheerleading community. Can you help me understand if it is innappropriate for it to be included as an external link, or is it the goal of the page to only define what constitutes cheerleading?

Please do understand that the link was added in good faith and not intended to bilk the system.

Thanks for your time.

Thank you!

Thank you for reverting my user page!Arnon Chaffin (Talk) 13:01, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

With all due respect, he should remain blocked. He was impersonating other people in an attempt to get an article deleted. He was trying to get Barats and Bereta deleted by claiming to be part of the duo. As noted above, I asked him to prove he was who he claimed to be. He left this post on their message forum as "MrBarats". That is his first post on that forum. The actual Barats appears to post as "Barats" as can be seen here. Additionally, here he claimed to be Barats just as in that forum post, but in your his first edit he claimed to be Bereta. Troll. IrishGuy talk 19:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP: FU explanation

Thank you for catching my mistake. Upon reviewing the Fair Use guidelines, I realize that I did not truly understand it. Is it because I posted a picture of an actress in her role on her personal page and is therefore out of context despite a caption that says that it was Katherine Heigl as Isobel "Izzie" Stevens from the show Grey's Anatomy? Darthjarek 08:11, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speaking on behalf of user: Bucketpronouncedbouquet

This user was blocked from making contributions to wikipedia. Speaking on the users behalf I’d like to say that he has made valid contributions to wikipedia articles such as that of “Billy Sharp” and “Colin Kazim Richards”, hence I believe that, although he has made some violating contributions such as to “Keeping Up Appearances”, he is truly sorry, and promises it will not happen again. In reality, his positive and valid contributions outweigh the violating contribution made. Thank you, Chris C. Nichols.

I can find no account with that name. Are you sure you have the spelling, capitalisation, and spacing correct? --Yamla 13:53, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I did not intentionally "vandalize" Keri Russell's page. All of the news reports that I saw about her having a baby were dated June 19 and made no mention of the date the baby was born. Therefore I assumed the baby was born June 19. Upon further investigation I see that it was born June 9, and I had made a mistake, but it was NOT intentional vandalism.

There was already a citation for the June 9 birthdate attached right to that sentence. You changed the date so that it no longer matched the citation, without providing a reliable source indicating your new date. Before making such changes again, please see WP:V, WP:RS, and WP:CITE, all of which you violated. --Yamla 14:07, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can I replace it with another image?  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 15:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, provided the replacement has accurate source information and is freely licensed. --Yamla 16:06, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Need your help, Yamla. Urgent

  • Yamla, a problem is going on at the EJ Wells and Samantha Brady article. User:Antigone28 refuses to go by the Wikipedia policy of heading articles, and has even lashed out at me with name-calling on my talk page, when I was only bettering the article.

Help me out with this, Yamla, when you can. Flyer22 18:24, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. --Yamla 18:39, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yamla - I was just going through the recent edits on the EJ Wells and Samantha Brady article and I noticed you removed both fan site links that I had included. I read the policy you referenced and I understand why one of them was removed (it requires registration) but the other page is actually just a generic EJ and Sami reference page that I created that does not require registration. It simply provides some useful info such as addresses for fans to write to and it also has some links to completed fan campaigns. I felt that this would be of interest to people who had an interest in the EJ Wells and Samantha Brady article. I am going to add back in that one link but if I've missed something in one of the policies you cited, please let me know. Thanks! Radiantbutterfly 23:48, 20 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:COI prohibits linking to your own site. Additionally, Wikipedia does not really want external links unless they are to official sites. See WP:EL and WP:SPAM. --Yamla 00:43, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sri 1988

Hi Yamla. As soon as your block on Sri 1988 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) expired, he uploaded a very suspicious image, Image:LA Skyline.JPG. He added it to the city infobox on Los Angeles, California even though there are ample free images available, and tagged it with {{Non-free television screenshot}} even though it's clearly not a TV screenshot. (I suspect it's a scan of an L.A. postcard.) I have tagged the image as disputed and warned the user accordingly. szyslak 12:26, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I should also mention that he added the image to the Los Angeles article using the IP 59.92.62.47 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). szyslak 12:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Block

It wouldn't be annoying if there wasn't another party that warranted a block, and the blocking admin even attempted to warn the user. The prior "relationship" with that user on the Dragon Ball Task Force also bugs me, as well as a very POV reason for blocking (continuing an argument - in which the other user was assisting in continuing it pretty well). - A Link to the Past (talk) 17:50, 21 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

i was just using the information from IMDB — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.185.217 (talkcontribs)

Drinking habit of chimps

Can you advise on whether this was an appropriate adding for the vegetarian page please.

Yamla - problem with user. Can you help?

Hi! I'm having a problem with a user editing the EJ Wells and Samantha Brady page in a manner that does not respect the neutrality of the article. There is a particular debate raging over a scene on the soap and I have addressed the controversy in a separate section but user Myolo (I'm sorry, I don't know how to link to Myolo's user page) insists on editing the article by referring to the controversial scene as something that not everyone agrees it was. I won't get into specifics but if you read the controversy section of the article, you will understand the issue.

No official comment has been made by the soap executives during any interviews regarding the writers' intentions in the scene - fictional dialog is not, in my opinion, proof of anything and given that the debate is still very heated among fans of the soap, I think the article needs to remain neutral and not refer to the incident in such a specific way. The way I have written it does not make a statement one way or another - it is vague and allows for update if the show's executives choose to clarify the issue.

I would appreciate any help you can give me with this because I'm getting tired of re-editing the page. Thanks!! Radiantbutterfly 13:39, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Likely sockpuppet

I'm starting to believe that TheManWhoLaughs is a sock of TheClownPrinceofCrime. "TaTa" given at the end of each message, see TheManWhoLaughs' and TheClownPrinceofCrime's, is really a giveaway. TheManWhoLaughs has just lefted the same borderline harrassing and intimidating comments at my talk page that ClownPrinceofCrime had done before he was blocked.
