Hello, this is IP75. Please leave a message at the sound of the tone. IP75 23:54, 8 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I asked the tech dudes, and apparently it is impossible to give autoconfirmed status early. Again, I'm really sorry that I stopped you from editing that page, but in light of the recent controversy surrounding him, I don't think I can unprotect it. Gah, I don't know what to do.

Bill Ayers photo

I responded to your query on my talk page Erudy (talk) 01:32, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Erudy- I want to commend you for your effort on obtaining the photos of Bill Ayers. I think that you informed him of the photo's release to the pubic domain in your email and he responded in the affirmative in his rely: "Hey--- I couldn't find the photo submission page, but these are both mine, one at the U, one with my grand daughter. Use them if you want to. Best, Bill". Please obtain an explicit statement if necessary. Thanks, IP75 (talk) 19:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IP75, no that's not an explicit enough statement. I reject those kinds of statements at OTRS all the time. howcheng {chat} 19:45, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Erudy- I just wanted to know if you have requested and received the required release statement from Bill Ayers. I asked Howcheng how it should be worded and he said somthing like "Yes, I agree to release these to the public domain." I would be happy to follow up on this if you would like me to. Please advise, IP75 (talk) 22:22, 14 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is the email I sent to Mr Ayers the night of 14 October:

Dear Professor Ayers,

Thank you very much for your help! As you can see here, your photo has been posted to your article. Unfortunately, this is only temporary unless you explicitly affirm that you own the image and release it into the public domain. Wikipedia strives to use only free content, and in the case of images this means that they are only accepted when they have been clearly donated to the public domain. Basically, I've been told by administrators that our exchange (below) wasn't clear enough for legal purposes. To be absolutely in the clear, and to keep the current photo from being removed from the article, we need a affirmation that you

1) Are the owner of the work

2) Release it in to the public domain, where it can be used for any purpose, including commercial and derivative uses

Again I'd like to thank you for your contributions and assistance to our project, and apologize for having to bother you over this legal fine print. This sort of thing can be a bit frustrating to work through, but it does help maintain the integrity of the project.

Sincerely,

Wikipedia editor Erudy

As of this time, I have not yet received an email back.Erudy (talk) 01:31, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Erudy- Very nice email. I think the way you dealt with this was just right. I hope we get a response. IP75 (talk) 03:42, 15 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Received email response from Ayers.

Done

Your feedback is appreciated - Sarah Palin - NPOV?

Thanks much for the heads-up about the public image article. Please stop over at the main article and cast your vote as to whether that article is biased or neutral. Thanks, LamaLoLeshLa (talk) 03:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's biased. After the election her page was whitewashed!

here. Thanks. $\sim$ Justmeherenow ( ) 19:18, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Controversy after the RNC spent $150,000 on Palin's wardrobe.

Notable occupations: "Fisherwoman" in the infobox? Jmhn, you promised you would not drink and edit :) IP75 (talk) 21:54, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

From the 40+ talk page archives:

I believe it was removed from the 'Personal life' section along with her penchant for moose burgers. I also support the inclusion of Palin's 'running' in marathons and away from the media :) The detail in the former version made it a little hagiographic. IP75 (talk) 23:13, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

No doubt, of course, testimony to my continuing desire to canonize Saint Sarah! :) Fcreid (talk) 23:16, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey, look at her. She needed some new clothes! What's the big deal? :) IP75 (talk) 15:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering where my ferrets disappeared to! She is brave, though... my wife wouldn't be caught dead in the furs I purchased many years ago when such things were considered in vogue (for fear of being drenched in pig's blood! :) Fcreid (talk) 15:51, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Full Protection

Fully agree with your comments on the Admin board about full protection. Despite fairly regular differences in opinion and the occasional flat-out fight, we have settled into an effective methodology on Sarah Palin that seems to work and satisfy the majority of contributors. By the same token, I can see the rationale in applying a policy universally to all four articles to preclude any perception of preference, e.g. we wouldn't want to have McCain fully-protected and Obama semi-protected just prior to an election. Let's hope they decide to restore the semi-protection status of all candidate articles. Fcreid (talk) 10:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of content from Innocence of Muslims

Thank you for that. I have been doing a general edit for clarity and accuracy as well as formatting inline citations and checking RS. I objected to the mention of this video, as it is not from anyone associated with the actual production and we were giving a spotlight on something that I felt did not meet notability. I am trying to move slowly enough as to not crowd editing. I fully support the exclusion of that content!--Amadscientist (talk) 08:56, 23 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-{{unblock reviewed |1=Hello Fuzheado I was trying to use the following comment: [[5]] I had made on January 14, to use in the current discussion. I noticed I had a typo where I repeated the word 'be' twice and tried to fix it before adding it to the current discussion. Due to a spinal cord injury, I edit with two numb fingers and a few days ago switched to the visual editor to see if it would make editing easier, but I am just getting used to it and I must have saved the edit by mistake. Their was no edit warring from an 11 day old archived thread. I was tired and made a simple error. I replied to the editor who left a message on my talk page. It's a sad day when an editor of over 12 years on this account and around 2 years editing as an IP with physical limitations and a clean log, is accused of edit warring and blocked. I'm requesting that the block be removed, any comments on my talk page be removed and my log kept clean by noting this as a simple error. Thank you, IP75 (talk) 10:09 am, Today (UTC−5) |accept = I will assume good faith and also assume this is a lesson learned, and I'll unblock right away. The rest of what you are requesting is outside the scope of my powers or our standard policies. And for the record, neither I nor {{u|Acroterion}} nor {{u|Slatersteven}} accused you of "edit warring" – it was regarding disruptive editing. So we had no way to know whether it was a compromised account, an editing error, or malicious intent. The most important part was to prevent the blanking and disruption immediately. Thanks.

-:Then why did you make other changes (such as "Skip to bottom" TO "skiptotoc")? this did not reset the page to any previous version? You did far more than just blank the page.[[User:Slatersteven|Slatersteven]] ([[User talk:Slatersteven|talk]]) 15:28, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
-::[[User:Slatersteven|Slatersteven]] , As I mentioned above, a few days ago I enabled a click to edit feature and enabled the visual editor in my preferences. I remember clicking on "skiptotoc" to find my edit but do not know if that did anything. I am just learning about these features and really do not know what happened.

-:Just as a piece of general advice (I don't intend to handle the unblock request), it's often the best thing to reply that you won't do the same thing that happened in the block again. Saying you made a mistake is fine, but reiterating that it won't happen again is better.

-::@'[[User:Lee Vilenski|Lee Vilenski]] Hi Lee, I associate you with [[User:Barkeep49|Barkeep49]]. His RfA was the first that I participated in and I had a very strong feeling that he would be a great Admin due to his integrity, knowledge, humility and sense of fairness. Participating in his successful RfA was very gratifying. I also voted for his Arb nomination last December. Thank you for your advise and obviously I don't intend to make mistakes but everyone does. In the future, I will not edit just after waking up around 5 am PST and will disable the click to edit feature I recently enabled.
