User:Bertport

Hi, Future Perfect at Sunrise. Since you blocked twice my access to English wiki, I have no choice but contact you anonymously. Firstly, I want to express my deepest regret and disaffection for the two blockages. How could people jump to a judgement only by listening to one side's words? Don't you know the villain always sues his victim before he himself is prosecuted. It's User:Bertport who made the very first revert [1] at 00:19, 19 February 2010 while I, mainly with User:Clemensmarabu, had been contributing days to the article Tibet. I never see he does any constructive edit but only undoes others' contributions or stealthily stuffs his biased words.

I waited one week to finally edit the article, if you please have a look at what content is restored [2], you'll tell at once good from bad. Both sides' opinions are presented and historical events are scholarly argued, thus I wonder where come from the courage of Bertport to revert such an edit and his boldness to accuse others anticipately. Regards. -- LaGrandefr

Could you "semi-protect" the Istanbul article for the time being from anonymous users. It is constantly attacked and vandalized. I have never seen such constant onslaught on a city article.

Could you "semi-protect" the Istanbul article for the time being from anonymous users. It is constantly attacked and vandalized. I have checked the history of editions and I have never seen such constant referenceless changes and attacks on a city article in Wikipedia, I have never seen such constant onslaught on a city article, not even hotly contested Jerusalem comes close! Any contribution one makes is either changed with no explanation or erased altogether.

Even the climate section I (currently) last edited, has been previously constantly changed with no reason and attacked. Even this section seems to be a "hot political issue"!

I am a new user orginally from Turkish Wikipedia and try to base the editions I make on credible sources.

Thank you if you could protect this articles for more well meaning users for a while.

Macedonian grammar

Hello Future. I am curious about one thing and I decided to ask you since you may know more about EN Wiki then me. Is there any practice of making articles about tenses of the languages, such as Macedonian Present Simple? On MK Wiki, we have such things, one article per each grammatical tense and other gramm. features (here and here) even though they are not complete yet, but I do not know about here. I wanted to translate some of the Macedonian articles, but I am not sure whether it is acceptable according EN Wiki rules. Best,--MacedonianBoy (talk) 11:45, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

A topic like "X'ian present tense" would be too fine-grained, I think. What would it contain, beyond a single table of forms? What we do have for some languages are articles on the level of "X'ian morphology", or maximally "X'ian verb inflection". If you are going to work on anything like that, please be aware that grammar articles should ideally not just focus on paradigm tables, but contain substantial prose discussion explaining the typological characteristics of the forms, their diachronic background, comparison with related languages, dialect differences, competing linguistic analyses and the like. If it was merely tables, it could go to Wiktionary. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:51, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

I do not know whether you have seen the Macedonian articles, but basically there are three major section: how is made, form with tables and examples and usage. Sometimes there are other characteristics mentioned as well. --MacedonianBoy (talk) 12:00, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Canvassing

FWIW Codrinb was also canvassing on the Romanian Wikipedia last night [3]

Avem nevoie de opiniile voastre obiective legat de la articolul en:Dacian script vandalizat, rescris si propus pentru stergere. Varianta engleza en:Sinaia lead plates este si ea sub atac din toate directiile. E trist cand oamenii nu-si pot pastra obiectivitatea si controla agresivitatea.

English:

"We need your objective opinions regarding the [English Wikipedia] article Dacian script, vandalised, rewritten and proposed for deletion. The English version of Sinaia lead plates is also under attack from all directions. It's sad when people can't maintain objectivity and control their aggression."

Not sure throwing the word "objective" in there makes this request objective. Cheers. --Folantin (talk) 12:40, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Ugh. Well, I slapped an Arbmac warning on him earlier today, and if he continues, he might soon be ripe for WP:AE. Let's wait and see if he can pull himself together. Fut.Perf. ☼ 13:10, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Guys, I accept your criticism, however given this dialogue, please allow me the right to question your own objectivity and neutrality. However, leaving aside the recent conflict started by Anonimu, please take a close look at the entire change history of those two articles and tell me where I was wrong in my assessment of the situation. Thank you. --Codrin.B (talk) 16:39, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

Re: Replaceable fair use File:Megumi kanda.png

{Response to User_talk:Johnson487682#Replaceable_fair_use_File:Megumi_kanda.png)

Thank you for notifying me of this omission. I have contacted both the publisher of the source image and the MSO requesting permission to use this, or a similar, image. Johnson487682 (talk) 23:01, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for that. If you could get them to release the image for us, that would be great of course. Please keep in mind that in order for us to be able to use it under our free-content policies, we will need a release under a fully free license, such as CC-BY-SA, not just a permission for use on Wikipedia alone.

Re: Help with student image uploads

Thanks for the help and clarification. I'll talk to the students and recommend they take a photo next time they visit their hometowns for addition to Wikipedia. I don't know if I can explain the public domain stuff well enough for them to understand and translate for the copyright holders and have them release the images into the public domain or at least under proper licensing. Working across language and culture barriers certainly has its drawbacks.

We'll have our final class tomorrow and I'll be sure not to make the same error with the next session of students. I really appreciate you messaging my talk page as well so that I can help them understand your message.

They've been using their user pages as a personal sandbox to work out the kinks in their pages before having them go "live" as it were, but I'll make sure the images get taken down from there as well.

Things have sure changed since I started working with Wikipedia back in 2002 as User:kimberlyhogg. I'm excited to be involved again and that it's grown so much.

Hello There,

I have just uploaded this subject image and have added the website link to the description. Kindly tell me wot would be the appropriate license tag for this image.

Regards,

Tinasinster (talk) 16:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I'm afraid there is no appropriate license tag for it. Such images simply cannot be used. The only ways you can include a portrait of an actor is if you go meet them and take a photograph of them yourself, or you contact a photographer who owns such an image and persuade them to release it under a free license, such as CC-BY-SA. Perhaps if you are lucky you might get such an image from the actor's managers. But you cannot just take one from a website; it has to be explicitly declared free for everybody's use by its owners. Please don't upload any further images now, until you are certain you have really understood our image use policy. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:08, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

Cultural edit-warring advice?

Given your experience at handling edit warring and WP:BATTLE problems tied to cultural disputes, can you make some recommendations on how to handle the multi-article edit-warring and disputes around Nagorno-Karabakh Republic? I recently ran across it at Culture of Nagorno-Karabakh, and noticed a related dispute at Wikipedia:Wikiquette_alerts#Uncivil_comments_by_Xebulon that involves the same editors. --Ronz (talk) 19:09, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

I'll just keep an eye on it and see how it plays out. If it gets worse, I'll bring it up on ANI. --Ronz (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

User:Custovic

I was about to post an ANI notice on this guy ... he came back after a two-year break, and most of his uploads have been copyvios. And he's been doing it on Commons too ... this image is an exact copy of this. I'm thisclose to reporting him--should I still? Blueboy96 22:28, 11 January 2011 (UTC)

User:Saguamundi

Hello FP. You imposed a 1RR/day restriction under WP:ARBMAC at User_talk:Saguamundi#Warning. Did you understand this 1RR as applying to *all* his edits or only to his edits of Balkan-related articles? Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:25, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Changing CSD eligibility for older content

I've put a proposal on the Village Pump about this. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:50, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

Semi urgent

It seems these were tagged for no-license, but for some reason the uploader never got informed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:MClub.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mountain-view-tarrazu-near-quepos-costa-rica-pacific-coast.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:View-quepos-coast-from-tarrazu-mountains-pito-costa-rica.jpg

Ideally the deletion clock needs a reset. Thanks in advance

Sfan00 IMG (talk) 17:19, 13 January 2011 (UTC)

About number one I wouldn't bother, that seems to have been a serial copyvio uploader anyway, so I wouldn't expect any useful info from them. About the Costa Rica photos, it seems to be a series that are plausibly all genuine own work by the uploader and genuinely intended for free release, but he didn't do the description pages consistently. In some cases he said "own work, public domain", in other cases he just said "own work" and somebody else later supplied the "public domain" for them, in yet others he didn't say anything, but it's all evidently uploaded with the same intention and comes from the same camera. It's not quite by the book, but I'd personally find it justifiable to just put in the missing declarations for him as he clearly intended. It's probably not much worth waiting for input from the uploader himself – he had sufficient notifications about other items in the series, and didn't respond to those either.

Republic of Korçë

Republic of Korçë is an article created by User:Antidiskriminator and its quality is very low. Can something be done to rewrite it? He has quoted Albanian and French sources despite the lack of language knowledge, while almost all of the article is copy/pasted from other articles he has written like Bulgarian occupation of Albania.--— ZjarriRrethues — ^talk 10:55, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Your ten-day block of NinaGreen

Today's block of NinaGreen is stated to be on the grounds of "tendentious editing at Shakespeare authorship controversy and related pages". I do not agree that NinaGreen's editing of those pages is tendentious, and the block also seems likely to prejudice the outcome of a due process which you are aware of. Also, should you not be leaving some explanation of your block on NinaGreen's talk page?

I have noticed from the above section headed "RfAR" that you are on playful terms with Bishonen, who is heavily involved in this matter and whose lack of respect towards NinaGreen and others (including myself) seems remarkable. Given that, there seems to me to be a problem with the perception of your intervention. Moonraker2 (talk) 22:51, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

If Nina wants, I can lift the block and add a longer one myself. I hardly know Bishonen or Future Perfect at Sunrise, but as an administrator, I have found their analysis to be spot on. NW (Talk) 04:37, 16 January 2011 (UTC)
