I received a notification that this photo *File:Kristina Vaculik & Elena Davydova.jpg was going to be deleted. It is a personal photo given to me by the mother of the subject to put on web re daughter. Can you unrestrict? I have asked her to send in a consent but she is away and not sure if I have given her the correct instrucitons.

ankhmorpork again

user ankhmorpork is edit warring on dhimmi-page again. he is also gaming my 1-rr restriction.[1]

RE:Karen Kondazian

Hi, Can her head shot be used? Also, Is there any way to put the picture up or do they all have to be free use. Since Karen does own the pictures...I could ask if she wants to do this.

I'm all set. I resubmitted the picture as free use.

Sockpuppet advice requested

KlickitatGlacier (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) is an obvious sockpuppet; his most recent post indicates that he's almost certainly one of the banned users from Wikipediocracy [2]. I don't know who the sockmaster is, though I suspect it's probably User:Vigilant or User:Thekohser. Any suggestions? Prioryman (talk) 17:21, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Euzen

After two long blocks he still can't stop himself. From users patrolling articles related to the Albanian nation to the French General prooves rubbish the coffe-table books accusation. Having to constantly report him only to have him back a few weeks later is getting rather tiresome.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 20:11, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Btw do you want to try to rewrite Serbs, Montenegrins and Bosnians in the Greek Revolution (1821) before I take it to AfD? Essentially, it is a compilation of all the theories he's been POV pushing for the last couple of years[3]--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 22:11, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Why it should be "put to rest"

What did you mean when you said "Please put this to rest now."? It will "rest" at "Tenedos". Chrisrus (talk) 14:38, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Well, yes, for the time being, I guess so. Your point being? Fut.Perf. ☼ 14:48, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

So you are in favor of it "resting" there? You are against the move? Are you trying to get us all to drop it and walk away, leaving it at Tenedos? Chrisrus (talk) 14:55, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

What does my opinion have to do with anything? Personally, I'm actually quite sympathetic to the case for a move, but what matters here is that, given the current state of the debate, simply having one poll immediately after the other for months on end is not going to resolve anything. Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:03, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Please provide me a link or links to guidelines or policies or whatever explaining why blocking that request for comment was the right thing to do. Thanks! Chrisrus (talk) 00:57, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Try WP:DEADHORSE, for a start. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:10, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

WP:DEADHORSE. It is clear to you that the time has come for us to walk away and admit defeat. It is clear that we have lost. This is your point. So you are, in fact, trying to get us all to drop it and walk away, leaving it at Tenedos. They have won, in your informed opinion. Is that correct? Chrisrus (talk) 09:55, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

I'm not saying they have "won"; I'm saying the debate is obviously stuck, and you're not going to get it unstuck by repeating the same thing all over again for the third time in a row. I can understand you find the situation unsatisfying; sometimes Wikipedia processes do get bogged down on the "wrong" solution, and sometimes it is simply necessary to leave them there for a while; those are the facts. If you want to hear my ideas about how this could actually be brought forward, see the latest thread on the talk page. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:03, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

So your purpose was to leave things in "the 'wrong' solution" for awhile. In this case, it is necessary to leave things there for a while. This is "good". Is that correct? And how is this advice as to how to bring this forward, why does this not contradict your "deadhorse" advice? Chrisrus (talk) 15:50, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Requesting rollback permission

Dear Fut. Perf.:

I am requesting WP:RBK permission. I often patrol changes and sometimes see the need to rollback. What more information would you like me to provide? Thanks for your consideration. Argos'Dad 15:22, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Done :-) Use it wisely. I suppose you are familiar with rollback policy, right? Fut.Perf. ☼ 15:29, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I am familiar with the policy. Argos'Dad 16:36, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Unblock request of Sadiq Khan.M

User:Sadiq Khan.M, whom you block a month or so ago for copyright violations, might be ready to return to the community. His latest unblock request seems to suggest that he's - finally - got it. I'm putting the unblock on hold whilst awaiting commentary from you and/or Boing, given the history on the page I don't want to unblock him unilaterally myself. Cheers, Yunshui 雲‍水 10:16, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't thrilled with the quality of his non-image contributions either, but if you feel he's honestly got the message now about how copyright works, I guess we might give it another try. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:37, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

He's loose - I assume you'll be keeping an eye on his edits as well, please feel free to reblock if you see him stem out of line again. Yunshui 雲‍水 12:00, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Bizarre

Are you really still bearing a grudge after failing to get the picture of HMS Conqueror deleted? Really man let it go, its was FOUR years ago. Wee Curry Monster talk 16:13, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

No, actually, I am not bearing you a grudge. That is exactly why I, personally, would feel completely at ease acting as an uninvolved administrator with respect to your disputes over the Falklands – about which, I swear, I am as unbiased as can be. Fut.Perf. ☼ 16:21, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

It would appear to me that you do. Twice now you've weighed in suggesting sanctions against me, when it is readily apparent to everyone else I'm not the problem. Once I would have dismissed as an error of judgement as I did sincerely consider you as fair, now I am far from convinced. Wee Curry Monster talk 17:22, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Not sure if you saw... I left you a message at File talk:Trinity Christian School (New Jersey) New Gym.jpg. I would appreciate it if you would address your concerns there. More information about the image is at the talk page. Dplcrnj (talk) 17:23, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

For helping us keep the peace and for being a voice of reason at a heated mediation. ~ GabeMc ^{(talk|contribs)} 21:10, 23 September 2012 (UTC)

Silly versions in Greece article

I had a reason to be silly: I was editing a silly edit in a rush. (Let one person less read this in WP, hurry... :-) Thanks for your handling of the POV pushing. I liked your edit more than mine. Best. --E4024 (talk) 17:14, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
