Block of Hippo43

Fastily; Hippo43 (talk · contribs) has requested an unblock and more information about the conditions that warranted the block. Looking through his recent edits, I can't readily see what triggered an indefinite block for 'vandalism'. Is there a discussion somewhere about this I'm missing, or could you clarify the reasons around the block? Thanks! Kuru ^talk 16:59, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kuru. I blocked Hippo43 for WP:EW (slow motion), swearing in edit summaries, insulting people, not assuming good faith, ect. To be honest, that unblock request looks a tad bit like forum shopping to me. If you think an indef might have been a bit harsh, please feel free to go ahead and unblock/reduce block length for Hippo43 (honestly, I don't mind). But if you do, I'd recommend keeping a close eye on the editor. Their past history is suggestive of the fact that they will repeat same behavior if unblocked. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:19, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

Concur on the accumulation of aggressive editing, but blocking indef should be pretty rare for established editors and probably followed up with a notification/discussion at ANI. I have not been able to look through all of the history, but it looks like there are several dispute resolution steps that could be tried instead. No critique of your methods; you probably know I have a bad hair trigger myself. :) I've watch listed several talk pages of those involved with him to follow up. Kuru ^talk 01:58, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Follow up. It took him a day to bear out your prediction. Kuru ^talk 03:43, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

My Nostradamus moment of the day. Cheers. One thing though - once the block expires, please be sure to keep a watchful eye on User:Hippo43. Whether right after release of the block or in the near future, Hippo43 is very likely going to edit disruptively again. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 04:32, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Deleted images

File:Heraldic achievement of the Office of the Lord Lyon King of Arms by Alexander Liptak.png

Hello. You just deleted a couple coats of arms by Xanderliptak. He didn't request their deletion in good faith. See User talk:SchuminWeb#Deleted images. He tried before to get them speedied before, because their history shows that he originally uploaded them without the watermarks/credits plastered all over them. At the same time he upped replacements which are lower quality versions with watermarks. See example of one of the watermarked replacements. Another admin put these replacements for deletion on the basis the others (which you deleted) don't have the watermarks. So anyways, they weren't put up for deletion in good faith. Could you un-delete them?--Brianann MacAmhlaidh (talk) 10:30, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Additionally, if there is anything else that you can contribute to the discussion on my user talk page, please do. SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:31, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

To be frank, it looks like you guys are being trolled. I'll look into it. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:11, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I noticed you restored my images. I pulled the licensing on my images and asked that they be deleted. Actually, such a suggestion was echoed by SchuminWeb, but somewhere along the lines he decided to edit and repost the images and license them as if I had given permission. The images clearly have copyright issues at this point, and I would appreciate if you would delete them again. [tk] XANDERLIPTAK 12:24, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

My RFA →→→

Dear Fastily, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind vote on my request for adminship which failed with a final result of (40/19/12).

Thank you for your participation in my RfA which I withdrew after concerns of my knowledge of policy. Special thanks are owed to Coffee, who defended me throughout and whom I cannot thank enough for the nomination; to 2over0 for being supportive and helpful; to A Stop at Willoughby for the thorough, thoughtful and articulate support rationale; to IP69.226.103.13 for maintaining composure and for a pleasant interaction on my talk page and, last but not least, to Juliancolton who was good enough to close the RfA at my request and, frankly, because an editor whom I respect so much found the time to support me! If the need for more admins at the main page is still apparent in a few months, I may try again. Thank you all for a relatively drama-free RfA and for providing me with much material from which to learn from my mistakes. You're all welcome to drop by my talk page any time. God save the Queen Wiki! HJMitchell You rang? 18:08, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

InkHeart

Hey, thanks for your help with those pages. I suspect that the user Special:Contributions/Clara20 is yet another sock of InkHeart. Though it is possible that it is only a coincidence since all the pages are connected to the same actor, Clara20 has only edited pages previously edited by InkHeart and her socks. Clara20 also created a duplicate page of the actor that was frequented by InkHeart. Ωphois 19:18, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

And she is also using the anon Special:Contributions/69.159.197.246 to undo my reverts. Do you mind semi-protecting Hero (2009 TV series)‎, Iljimae‎, Time Between Dog and Wolf‎, J Style‎, My Jun, My Style‎, The King and the Clown‎, The 101st Proposal‎, and The Hotel Venus‎ to prevent further disruptions by her in those articles? Thanks. Ωphois 20:27, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

why do you keep on hurting me Ophois? I have been a pieceful editor here and you keep harrassing me. All I want to do is edit just like you yet you keep doing this. You have your Supernatural articles and I have left them alone, I gave you the Lee Jun Ki article yet you keep undoing my edits. What's your problem? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.159.197.246 (talk) 20:31, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

You attempted to create a duplicate article on the actor and then changed all the links to direct to your page. This is obviously an attempt to create your own version of the page without being noticed by other editors. Ωphois 20:34, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

And you wouldn't be under so many people's radars if you hadn't turned into a vandal when you couldn't have your way. Ωphois 20:36, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Do you have any heart Ophois cause if you did you would know how the he'll I felt. I am angry because I have worked so hard on his articles and tried to be quiet about it then suddenly everything that I have done him gets completely changed. Yes the multiple accounts was a mistake but I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't harrassed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.159.197.246 (talk) 20:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

InkHeart, it is not like you were blocked for the original events and have now been trying to make constructive edits. You used multiple accounts to harass users who opposed you, and have been avoiding blocks to make unconstructive edits over the past few months. Heck, you were blocked YESTERDAY for similar actions. So please don't try the sympathy card, as it is obviously just an act. Ωphois 20:51, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

I had an issue with InkHeart's sockpuppet, Belov, who pretty much reverted articles back to his/her edition, pretty much without discussion. Also, the Lee Jun Ki article doesn't belong to you, so you can't give someone it. ^N_P^e_e^e_r^b_v^s_e^s_z (Push) 21:16, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

Don't understand why Wide Area Multilateration was deleted

Hello Fastily. I am not sure why my page Wide Area Multilateration was deleted. I was informed that "This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article." The article simply describes a technology, much like other pages that describe technologies (see "Multilateration", "TCAS", "ADS-B"). It does not promote a company, product, group, service, or person. If it was deleted due to lack of references, please let me know as there are a number of additional ones that can be added. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.--Ludmilovna (talk) 20:07, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

WKRK-FM recent edit

hi- name of radio station in article is simply WKRK, not WKRK-FM; station has gone through some 13 callsign changes in its history (by far the most in cleveland market), so this isn't the first time a wikipedia article has been created for the station (see WXTM, WKRI, WXRK, etc.)-- the "-FM" suffix was added to differentiate between this station and another in north carolina, WKRK (AM), but i feel the more appropriate title is WKRK with "FM" in parantheses ("dash FM" is not part of the 4 letter callsign). sorry for the change, but i wasn't sure how to edits/changes to the article title-- i try to only make constructive edits in good faith. please change the article name in whatever manner is appropriate TheBlankingCompany79 (talk) 10:57, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

No worries, it's all good. Considering that the file is a Public Domain file, I'd suggest taking Xeno's recommendation. Upload the file at the Wikimedia Commons (commons:commons:Upload). This way the file will be available for use on different language Wikipedias/Wikimedia projects. Don't worry, you can use the file in the same manner as if you had uploaded the file directly to the English Wikipedia. Hope that helps to answer your question. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 10:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

File:IBM AIX 53.JPG

You have left a "fair use rational" message for me, but I'm certain that the rational supplied is already more than legally adequate. The image is a screenshot of a login session to an IBM AIX host, being used in the IBM AIX article. I created the image. It's doubtful whether IBM have any copyright claim on that image whatsoever; nevertheless following the guidelines for uploading screenshots of non-free software leads one to the "fair use" template. I suspect this is probably inappropriate in this case. I will change the copyright status to GFDL-self. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thparkth (talk • contribs) 21:54, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Re: File:IBM AIX 53.JPG

Sorry, but it's not clear that you have sufficient understanding of what we're discussing to offer advice. Of course IBM has "copyrighted the computer program" but this is not a computer program; it is an image of the output of a computer program - an image made by me. The file does not contain a "portion of the Windows OS". Again, I am the author of this image, and I have chosen to license it under the GFDL. I'm not sure how you can justify threatening to delete it as a "copyright violation". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thparkth (talk • contribs) 22:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

(Had requested an undelete, but I'm withdrawing it as simply not worth the hassle. I will re-upload with a fair use justification. This whole situation could have been avoided if you reacted with more patience and less anger. You might want to look up "de minimis" at some point though.)

File:Fetisov.jpg

I took it to WP:PUF but seriously think you should reconsider your decision, I went through his uploads and found all of his uploads to be copyright violations. He had uploaded images he found in online news articles, and it's obvious that this is the case here too even though I haven't been able to locate a link. Please use common sense and delete the file asap. Regards. —Krm500 ^{(Communicate!)} 03:42, 31 December 2009 (UTC)

I agree that File:Fetisov.jpg is a likely copyright violation. However, the file bears no watermarks, no attributions, and no overzealous claims of pd/gfdl/cc.

No worries.

ZooPro 05:43, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, this really depends on the Zoo's policies - copyright ownership has the potential to fall to either party or be split between both.

Admin coaching

Hi, I was perusing the admin coaching page to see if there was someone who could help me learn the ropes concerning image deletion and tagging. I was pleasantly surprised to find that you have no student at the moment and are likewise interested in the same arena. I don't have any aspirations to become an administrator, but I do want to become more helpful in cleaning up Wikipedia's large image repository, so hopefully that's not a deal-breaker. I've had to learn on my own as I've been working through the Category:Images with watermarks backlog, which has led me to dealing with {{ffd}}, {{npd}}, etc. as well as multiple additions to and comments on the various files for deletion logs. I am primarily interested in becoming more familiar with any tools to facilitate tagging and/or cleaning up images, adding relevant opinions to deletion discussions and locating areas/backlogs where a normal editor with wiki-knowledge and GIMP can help out.

Let me know what you think, and if admin coaching is the wrong tact, maybe you could just point me to some resources I should know about or give me some feedback on my contributions every now and again so I can become a better wikignome. Thanks, — Bility (talk) 06:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Would you consider reviewing the block on 71.77.20.26 (talk)? I believe this user started out with good intentions (removing what he considered questionable unsourced content), and think a series of misunderstandings led him down a path that led to the block and later block extension. It might be productive to re-enable talk page access and open a dialog that (with some coaching) might lead o reinstatement of editing privileges. You never know where a great future editor might come from. This one has clearly gotten off to a bad start. It's entirely up to you. Thanks. -- Tom N (tcncv) talk/contrib 08:37, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tcncv. You're welcome to return talk page access to the 71.77.20.26 (talk) if you're willing to discuss with them, but I think it's only fair to warn you that past behavior strongly suggests that a civil discussion with the IP editor will be unlikely. However, I request that the IP remain blocked until an agreement is reached/the IP understands why they were blocked or the block expires. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 11:03, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Possible Sockpuppetry

During recent edits patrol this morning, I noticed User:Peterjenka (self promotional userpage of self published young author), and then a mention of deleted article Peter Jenka on User talk:Bonnie Nagy, with further comments by Ms. Nagy that would lead me to believe that both Peter Jenkas are one and the same. Could you compare the text of the userpage, with that of the deleted article, to see if there is a likelihood of common authorship and/or possible sockpuppetry? WuhWuzDat 16:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi Wuhwuzdat. I took a look and there is convincing evidence to suggest sockpuppetry. The text of the deleted article, Peter Jenka, is as follows:

Peter Jenka (born May 11, 1995 in Prague, Czech Republic) is a young Czech, English writing novelist.
He debuted in his 14 with the first part of ELDERION [1] SAGA, Birth of a King published in November 2009.

The first line of the article, closely resembles the first line of User:Peterjenka here. Apart from the edits User:Bonnie Nagy made to List of fantasy novels, the similarity between User:Peterjenka and Peter Jenka is enough to justify filing a case at WP:SPI. I would block now (WP:DUCK), but to avoid getting caught in some weird coincidence, I think it'd be best to have a checkuser look at this first. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:16, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Pictures

Hi, I got your notice about the pictures I uploaded on my talk page. Do you have any suggestions on finding copyright for pictures taken with the PrtSc button from Youtube?

InkHeart

Lol, she's back again at Special:Contributions/202.181.170.231 and Special:Contributions/82.138.98.35 removing maintenance tags. After you block this one, do you mind semi-protecting those pages? Ωphois 19:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Jeez, someone's very persistent. If you ever come across any other InkHeart socks, please don't hesitate to report them here. I'll be sure to deal with them ASAP. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:56, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

User talk:Victoriousm has resumed editing

Did you clear the autoblock? It seems to have gone away, without expiring. Autoblocks are mysterious. EdJohnston (talk) 19:41, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

No I haven't unblocked anyone in the last few days. That's very strange. I guess there might not have been an autoblock after all? -FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:59, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

The link [2] used to work, but doesn't any more. I think they are trying to prevent the editor's IP from being generally visible. However, you can occasionally see an entry in the block log of the admin who did the unblocking. (Showing only the autoblock number but nothing else). Assuming you can guess the unblocking admin.

Adding a Picture

I would like to license my pictures through the GNU Free Documentation License (GNU FDL or simply GFDL), but I have absolutely no idea how to do that. They are my pictures, pictures that I have taken myself, and I am the sole owner. I have tried to license them through Wikipedia's suggestions, and have gotten confused and gave it up.

The Wikipedia instructions do not say how to license my owned pictures. They just describe what's available in the process.

I need step-by-step directions to the process, not descriptions of the directions.

Can you tell me how to do the GNU Free Documentation License easily and without complication, please? Simply the "go here, click here, type in this, insert that, etc" Csneed (talk) 20:36, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Certainly! Add this text "{{GFDL-self}}" anywhere on the description page(s) of the file(s) you wish to license as GFDL. And that's all there is to it. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:50, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

A question about your image deletion tagging.

May I ask you why tagging images with lack of description that do not seem to be violating any rule is neccessary. I mean many of those images are appropriately tagged with lack-of-description templates and I do not see why some of them seem to be 'original research' which I assume (sorry if I am wrong) "OR" is supposed to mean. What do you mean also by UE and LQ? I am sure that many of these have explanations and so are deletion templates really neccessary?Regards, FM [ talk to me | show contributions ]  20:38, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
