Sorry for all the spammed g12s, but they were clear copyvio. Im sure its going to piss that guy off, even pure copy and paste thats a lot of work. Soorry to create all the work for you too :) Gaijin42 (talk) 18:56, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Gaijin42. Thanks for your alertness in detecting this problem. Could I suggest that in cases like this, rather than having Twinkle post the standard message for each article, it's better to post just one standard Twinkle message and then list the additional files or articles underneath. You can still nominate using Twinkle; just tick the box to not notify the creator (except for the first nom), and then add a list of the remaining nominated material below the first message. This avoids posting a huge wall of text on the user's talk page that they are unlikely to read or understand. An example of how to do this is here. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:03, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I was not aware of that feature, but you are right, that would be a better option. I will do that in the future. (Although hopefully I don't have to mass nominate often) Gaijin42 (talk) 19:05, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Well now we've got a mess on our hands, because it looks like (according to his post at Talk:Kyiv Drawing School) the ultimate source of the material is not http://www.encyclopediaofukraine.com/, but http://www.history.org.ua/, which is available under a Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported (CC BY-SA 3.0) license. I am going to have to undelete all these pages and apologise to the editor. -- Diannaa (talk) 19:14, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I would not be so sure. The text is EXACTLY from the encyclopediaofukraine.com if it was translated by them, the translation would still by copyright, and according to http://encyclopediaofukraine.com/info.asp they seem to be compiling their content based on a printed encyclopedia (Encyclopedia of Ukraine (University of Toronto Press, 1984-93)) which itself would be copyrighted. Gaijin42 (talk) 19:27, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I am sure now (regardless of the status of the original prose in Ukranian) that these translations are copyright, and I will not be able to undelete these articles after all. Thanks for your good advice and help., -- Diannaa (talk) 19:39, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, I got from Associazione4stormo the picture of Leonardo Ferrulli and - as I was not able to uploaded it - I asked Bzuk to upload it for me. The Association told me it can be quoted as a public domain picture, and so I uploaded it in the List of WW2 flying aces... is it ok? Could you help me to upload other pictures from the associazione4stormo, in the next future, as Bzuk seems to be too busy at the moment?
Thanks
--Gian piero milanetti (talk) 07:32, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- There's no indication on the source website that any of these pictures are public domain. Please don't upload any more of them unless you are familiar with our fair use rules and copyright law and know what license templates to use. I only did the one image to keep it from getting deleted and have my own projects to pursue, so I am not interested in helping any further. -- Diannaa (talk) 15:12, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Operation Overlord, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Caisson and Dungeness (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.

Hi Diannaa :-)
I joined the March GOCE drive, my first ever, glad to be part of it! and thought i found a good and virtuous target - Sociological_theory_of_diffusion from Dec 2012. I made a little start but am feeling I bit off more than I can chew, as in in feels like a more significant research job is needed not just copy-editing. I could just abandon the effort, but I'd love to know if am I judging right or have I got the wrong sense? And actually, now I've found Diffusion_of_innovation and wonder if they need to be merged (way beyond my experience level!!) - Could you advise? Many thanks! Depthdiver (talk) 18:02, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi Depthdiver. Might I suggest that if you feel that what the article needs is beyond the scope of copy editing and requires input from an expert in the field, you can remove the copy edit tag and add {{Expert-subject}} instead. On the talk page, you can add {{GOCEreviewed}} to show that you assessed the article and determined that the issues with the article go beyond what copy editing alone can resolve. The issue of merging the two articles is probably best left to the experts. But you can add {{merge}} templates to the two articles if you like, and even try to get a discussion going if you have the time. If you put a lot of effort into the page and wish to get credit for the drive, please use the word count only for the section that you worked on and make a note of what you did on your tally sheet. Thank you for your interest in helping out with copy edits. -- Diannaa (talk) 18:26, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- ah, great, thanks and for your quick response - though I feel a little insecure about my judgement cause I'm just getting into copyediting - can I get someone else to check the call I'm making - or is just ok and I should be bold, since the expert tag will hopefully bring someone along who can help? Depthdiver (talk) 22:45, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I dunno, the subject matter is not my strong point, I cannot say. If you'd like a second opinion on what to do, please feel free to ask another coordinator. -- Diannaa (talk) 22:48, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Heydrich had a Jewish grandparent and there was no "investigation." He used his raw power to "direct" a finding he had no Jewish ancestry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArdenHathaway (talk • contribs) 06:12, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

- @Doc9871: go to Preferences→Gadgets→Advanced and check "Allow /16, /24 and /27 – /32 CIDR ranges on Special:Contributions forms (uses API), as well as wildcard prefix searches, e.g., "Splark*"." Works
great. Actually I had to change the "From year (and earlier)" field to 2015 or it missed the more recent edits, -- Diannaa (talk) 21:58, 20 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What I thought it was going to be the timeconsuming GAN from hell considering the subject, which was why I delayed it until I find the time to fully review it, turned out to be a pleasant read with hardly any errors preventing it for GA status.

Hi,
I am engaged in an edit war with another user on this page. I am hoping for an admin with some knowledge of cinema to protect the page and settle the debate (I emphatically believe I am in the right), or failing that, just someone to protect the page and end the edit war whilst I attempt to persuade the other user. I have contacted two others about this, so I am sorry if the issue has been taken care of before you receive this.
Best Wishes
MasonBanks (talk) 23:28, 15 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi MasonBanks. Admins can't both help you settle the content issue plus use admin-tools on the same article. It's one or the other, not both. The other user has not edited for around 12 hours so I see no urgent reason to protect the article. Requests for page protection are usually posted at WP:RFPP. -- Diannaa (talk) 01:25, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
- I have good reason to believe that that user is simply busy and will revert when they wake/next visit. If I had to choose I would choose admin powers. I will move my request to the relevant area. MasonBanks (talk) 01:30, 16 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, Bonjour,
My name is Marc DANIEL, 52, I live in LOYAT, MORBIHAN, BRITTANY, FRANCE.
The Free French SAS are forgotten in operation Overlord. 900 Free French SAS in England, 3rd and 4th SAS battalions in the British SAS brigade. Operation Fortitude in the North of France, operation Overlord in Normandy and operations Dingson, Samwest, Cooney in Brittany. About The French SAS, you can see the film : bataillon du ciel (sky's battalion) 1947 from the Joseph Kessel's novel. Remember the film, the longest day : 2 Free French SAS with 1 woman by night on the railroad, from operation Cooney.
I put pages in operation Overlord from the Henry Corta's book, "les bérets rouges" (1952). I will see pages in his other book "Qui ose gagne" (who dares wins), 1997. Henry Corta was my father's friend during summer 1944 in Brittany.

After you blocked Bokopongvandaal (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), the last six edits in the user's contributions have offensive edit summaries.

- Hi Eyesnore. These edit summaries are not offensive enough in my opinion to warrant revision deletion, just the typical rants you will often get while fighting vandalism. -- Diannaa (talk) 01:19, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
