Deeyah

Hi Kelly, I got your message regarding File:Deeyah Khan.jpg. This picture is not my creation but I got the permission. But what kind of document I should provide to you and how should I do that, to let this picture stay and possibly shared on other Wikipedia pages in other languages- Regard--Jogibaba (talk) 17:26, 2 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi kelly, I had sent an email about the file I uploaded. I was replied that the email I sent for the permission was from UN official and not from the photographer who is the author or owner of the file. Now Deeyah's picture is tagged like this.

"An email has been received by the Volunteer Response Team (OTRS) concerning this file, and can be read as ticket 2015100810021979 by users with an OTRS account. However, the message was not sufficient to confirm permission for this page/file. This may, among other reasons, be because there was no explicit release under a free license, the statement of permission is from the subject of the photo rather than the photographer, or the email address that the permission came from is not associated with the location where the content was originally published. For an update on the issue, please contact the user who added this template to the page, or contact OTRS volunteers at their noticeboard."

I contacted Deeyah and she contacted UN official and they replied her

Dear Deeyah,

This is correct in general terms, but photos taken during HRC sessions by a photographer hired by UN, belong to the UN. Therefore, the UN gives the permission for the free use, which is the case with your picture. Hope this helps and clarifies the issue. All the best, D.

(I have hidden the telephone and email ID s here of the peoples concerned)

I don't know how to forward this email with the same conversation I was having with Wikipedia official, so I sent it as a separate email, I got a reply on 13 October with a new ticket which is like this.

"Thank you for your email. This is an automatically generated response to inform you that your message has been received.

I haven't heard anything since then, can you please, help to sort this matter. Regards--Jogibaba (talk) 15:57, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Jogibaba - there's nothing else you need to do, the OTRS team will process the permission. Kelly hi! 23:19, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of image

Hi Kelly. You left a message on my talk page about deleting File:unknown sculpture 2.jpg. I've no objections to its deletion - when I uploaded it I didn't know Lithuania had no freedom of panorama and had no idea when it was created or by whom. It's still on here, even though it was a speedy and is orphaned. I'll tag it with db-author. Sincerely, Novickas (talk) 22:00, 25 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Heritage at Risk References

Hi Kelly, The list is your sandbox is a good start & formats etc I put on wiki can be copied & developed as much as content. Historic England have revamped the site & the link you gasve gives me the same error message. Can you see http://risk.historicengland.org.uk/register.aspx?id=1237012&rt=0&pn=1&st=a&ctype=all&crit=Sweetworthy? I got there by going to http://risk.historicengland.org.uk/register.aspx and putting in a keyword for the site eg Sweetworthy. The other alternative is to use the regional lists (Not working for me today). NB some which were on the at risk register a few years ago have been removed if the condition of the site has improved.— Rod talk 17:32, 28 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of scheduled monuments in South Kesteven, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ancaster (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.

Thanks for your cleanup efforts

The Canadian Ginger Ale Award
Please accept this refreshing and wholesome toast to your recent cleanup efforts. Though we may someday have to use WP:REFUND to retrieve the bios of those Canadian actors who become major stars, I'm relieved to see we'll have a few less BLPs about non-notable people for ongoing patrol and maintenance. Djembayz (talk) 20:41, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neelix

I noticed you nominated a whole lot of Neelix's articles for deletion. I didn't follow the thread about him after the first day, but the issue looked to be creating mass inappropriate redirects -- and he is and will be paying for it, to be sure. But what was not at issue were the articles he created (unless I missed something). I don't think a particular bad behavior, long-term as it might be, grants free license to engage in what would in every other case be considered WP:WIKIHOUNDING. I'm not saying all of these topics are notable, but none of them, as far as I can see, are remotely connected to the redirect problem. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:17, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Rhododendrites - this is a separate problem with Neelix, who seems to have developed a fixation with Tara Teng and developed a whole universe of article around her and and her cause, which is human trafficking. See for instance, Iris Thomsen, which is a BLP created apparently just to coatrack in some Teng material. Or see for instance this material he placed in another completely unrelated BLP to praise Teng. He also seems to created a whole walled garden of articles about minor associates of Teng and minor figures involved with her philanthropic interests in Canada. Kelly hi! 22:22, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Well that's disappointing. Glancing at the AfD log for today I did actually first think that someone had their sights on human rights/women's rights organizations before noticing Neelix was the more likely common denominator. End result is still a bummer, but going through them does make sense. (Thanks for spending time cleaning up, by the way). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 22:33, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
An unbelievable fixation with Teng, beyond creepy actually. I've just trimmed extensively. He even created an article on a local dance business seemingly just to link it off Teng. Legacypac (talk) 07:10, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

After coming to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bridget Perrier, I have to say I'm skeptical you're doing the due diligence of WP:BEFORE. Many of these nominations are made within 1-3 minutes of each other, which isn't enough time to evaluate the sources and look for more. I've only looked at maybe a dozen of those you've nominated, of the [40-50?] total, and none I've seen look to be flagrant violations of content policies. Some may be overly promotional in tone, include undue details, etc. but those are cleanup issues. As far as notability, many appear to be borderline and certainly some should probably be deleted, but these aren't the product of a some blocked sock puppet or [previously] banned user (I don't know where things stand with that re: the redirect situation) such that they can be summarily dismissed without proper consideration and WP:BEFORE. I don't know if you're still going, but please stop for now. None of these are emergencies and participation is already spread too thin such that the people who are going to comment most are those that will do so also without proper consideration (which takes time). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:21, 9 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kelly, please help start this article. Thank you very much. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.15.236.160 (talk) 22:37, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two more notes

Two more notes, in addition to my thread up above:

  • Neelix has hijacked the Category:Sex worker activists, which obviously is for people trying to legalize prostitution (it even says so on the category page), but Neelix turned that on its head and changed the definition: [2] and edit-warred over it [3]. He had added the category to dozens of his articles. I just now removed the cat from those articles -- see my recent edit history, they're all in a clump with more or less the same edit summary about cat removal. I'm letting you know because many of these articles are non-notable trumped-up facades like the others, and you may not catch them in your net because several of them are not in Canada. Softlavender (talk) 10:30, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I don't have time for this and since you're using Twinkle it's easy for you. Softlavender (talk) 10:30, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh man. Thank you Softlavender, I will take a look. Kelly hi! 11:17, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you see the irony in telling him to 'man up' and accusing him of being 'delicate' while arguing against sexism. Alakzi (talk) 11:50, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Neelix/Teng

The Original Barnstar
Thanks for your work in tearing apart the walled garden that Neelix built as part of his obsession with Tara Teng, including the many AfDs you filed.  — Scott • talk 12:32, 10 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Arbitration case accepted

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Neelix. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Neelix/Evidence. Please add your evidence by November 17, 2015, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Neelix/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration.

Walled garden

On ANI you wrote that "the Tara Teng walled garden has been bulldozed", but that is far from the case when it comes to the walled empire or walled galaxy that Neelix has created on the overarching subjects of his own advocacy/POV (as detailed in the WO article) and all of the minimally notable side articles he created in order to make blue-links in those articles in order to make them look either wiki-notable or worthy of GA/FA. It's going to take months if not years to ferret out (and determine the notability of) all of the side articles Neelix created on all of those subjects. Are you going to be continuing your efforts, or will others need to take up the slack? (The articles in my two threads above on this talk page are emblematic but just the tip of the iceberg.) Cheers, Softlavender (talk) 07:34, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Softlavender - I'm taking a break from it for a little while but will likely go back to revisit. I was working on lists of monuments in Lincolnshire (just did this one); I'll go back at look at some more of Neelix's stuff later though. Kelly hi! 11:15, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
All right thanks for the info, and thanks very very much for the work you did on all of this. Enjoy yourself, and happy editing! Softlavender (talk) 11:23, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Softlavender - I most likely will be posting evidence soon in the ArbCom case though. The articles you showed me are definitely evidence of advocacy. Kelly hi! 11:53, 11 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Images I uploaded that are missing evidence of permission

Hi Kelly, there are several images I uploaded a long time ago that have been tagged because the evidence of permission is apparently missing. When I uploaded these, I requested permission from the original authors/uploaders via email. I know now that this is not sufficient enough. However, all of the images that are from Palestine Remembered have since been released into the public domain. I will change the licensing information for these images to the following GNU license: PalestineRemembered. --Al Ameer (talk) 19:31, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Al Ameer son - ah, thank you. If you fix the license I will be happy to move them to Commons. Kelly hi! 19:34, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, but apparently the PalestineRemembered license only exists in the commons. Should I create Template:PalestineRemembered by simply copying the contents of Commons' PalestineRemembered license?
Al Ameer son, I have the files on my watchlist, so I will see when you add the license and immediately move them. Kelly hi! 19:38, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Sounds good. --Al Ameer (talk) 19:38, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fyi

The odds are high you know about this, but on the slight chance you didn't, you do now.--S Philbrick(Talk) 21:35, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oops, I see you already posted at ANI, so my first guess was correct :) --S Philbrick(Talk) 21:56, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Kelly, regarding your question on the licensing tag for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Karnataka-Lokayukta-Report-on-Illegal-Mining.pdf it is a public domain document (http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/archive/00736/Report_on_the_refer_736286a.pdf) came in almost every newspapers. But I have not edited Wikipedia for a long time. So, although it is public domain source, I am not planning add anything with the licensing tag as it will take too much time for me to do it since I have not done it for a while. So, if is going to be deleted because I have not acted, that is OK, I am fine with that. I have not looked at my additions and modifications for a long time. Thanks. ~~
