Adoption[edit]

I would like to adopt you. Chubbennaitor 18:41, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, I'd accept your adoption with no problems, if you know licensing well enough! Diti (talk to the penguin) 19:28, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain what licensing you're on about. Chubbennaitor 20:18, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I was talking about uploading copyrighted pictures, I don't know Fair Use at all. Diti (talk to the penguin) 21:23, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah now the fair use images are images uploaded but the uploader doesn't want to reveal them publicly. Chubbennaitor 18:02, 21 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I eventually asked Diligent Terrier to adopt me because of, between others, his knowledge of MediaWiki's ParserFunctions. Thank you for your attention, and good luck. Diti (talk to the penguin) 11:17, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I wouldn't be any hope now. I'm not here for the next two years. Chubbennaitor 19:07, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Adoption[edit]

You are now adopted, per your request on my talk page. - Diligent Terrier (and friends) 21:08, 25 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I might ask you questions very soon. Diti (talk to the penguin) 10:42, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Request[edit]

Hi, could you remove the flag image from your signature? See Wikipedia:Signatures#Images for all the reasons against using images in signatures. Garion96 (talk) 02:21, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done, it was brought because of SUL. It's fixed now. :) Diti (talk to the penguin) 08:24, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Garion96 (talk) 09:13, 7 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Joyeux nouvel an![edit]

File:Hands and more.gif

Hi Diti,
although I'm able to READ French ~ as well as EN, I switch over to en when writing:
My not very young brain seems to "store" these two languages in "completely different departments," which means that I have serious troubles to switch from en (which I recently, say ~40 years, use by far more often than my fr, which I learned a while ago by far more better than en [8:4 years ;]) to fr when writing.

For a beginning:
I wish you (and your family) a Happy_New_Year, and, to have a good time, and also with your "bachot".

Question:
I do have troubles to translate (mostly even: to understand) "argot". Would you be willing to help? I'll pass by soon.
Best, [w.] 11:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! =3

Damn, I just have the time to send you a quick reply... I'll do it quick, sorry! :(

Well, I think I know the reasons when you're asking for that translation... I took time to find out the English equivalent to this word! :p

Well, argot means... slang! Happy new year! ^v^ Diti (talk to the penguin) 23:25, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Undeletion[edit]

I undeleted File:Crabeatuk.jpg (log) as per your request. I'm not sure why there is no image on the page (perhaps because four years have passed since it was deleted?) — Athaenara ✉ 09:44, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes old images are permanently lost on Wikipedia, and cannot be undeleted. Jay (talk) 09:53, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

JULY 2010[edit]

Salut Diti'! It's great to see your concern for the quality of our articles as you did to Worcestershire Sauce. However, please remember that this is is the English Wikipedia, and as such, articles about English subjects are best illustrated with original English images. Merci! --Kudpung (talk) 15:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! As you can see on the previous photo that was in the article (and is on it now, as you reverted the changes), its description page says the following: “Worcestershire sauce, as sold in Netherlands (2009)”. As you could see on my photo, it is the exact same product (because I bought it on import), except it is of packshot quality. I won’t revert you back because it is my photo and I wouldn’t be neutral by doing so, but I just wanted to point out the fact that an English photo or a French photo shouldn’t be treated differently when they illustrate the exact same English article. Bye! Diti the penguin — 16:12, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So much more reason why your edit might not have been such a good idea. But don't be disheartened - keep up the good work et si jamais il y a qqch que tu ne comprends pas, n'hésite pas à me demander :) --Kudpung (talk) 16:27, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I still don’t understand… You want me to come to the United Kingdom, buy the same product, and take the same photo of it? Diti the penguin — 16:36, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Laisse tomber ;) --Kudpung (talk) 16:38, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"The user is French and quite new and may not quite understand".[edit]

		The Anti-Flame Barnstar
		A new record has been set this day for pieces of comically patronising nonsense. For your calm reaction to grotesquely xenophobic condescension, I award you this barnstar Alistair Stevenson (talk) 21:14, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you… I have to admit I have been (and still am) shocked by this situation and the kind of messages I received. I thank you for having taken your time to award me this barnstar, as well as for your concern. Take care. Diti the penguin — 22:10, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Take care to understand that that the comments I have made in good faith that suggest that you may not have understood, are taken out of context by Alistair who has a clear history of such commenting, This his is another deliberate attempt of his to cover for his eceedindingly abusive comments to other authors. He has already been asked by several other editors to avoid situations that might foster further unpleasantness.--Kudpung (talk) 01:23, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, thank you for your concern, I read his talk page and he has indeed something to feel guilty about. However, I still agree about what he said, because those are my feelings exactly. Diti the penguin — 02:54, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Brontë[edit]

Hi Diti, I wonder if you would like to have a look at this translation I made of this very long Brontë article from the French Wikipedia at the request of an administrator. Although I am bilingual French-English, there were some turns of phrase that I was not sure about due to the occasionally unuusual use of French, or doubtful syntax. It would be great if you could find the time to look it over for us. The original French Wiki article is [[1]], and my rough draft before it was copyedited and posted to mainspace and the discussions about it are here. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 01:36, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh my, that is a really long article for sure! I will try to give it a look if I have time and motivation the next days. Diti the penguin — 02:56, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Core policies[edit]

Hi Diti, perhaps you could remove what you have on your user page. It violates one of our core policies. Thanks.--Kudpung (talk) 22:06, 11 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly unfree File:Arecibo naic big.gif[edit]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Arecibo naic big.gif, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed.

Can my IP address be whitelisted?[edit]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Diti (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I wanted to revert this edit, and found out the IP range of my ISP OVH Télécom (sub-company of OVH), 2001:41D0:0:0:0:0:0:0/32 , has been blocked by Elockid. May I be whitelisted? Also, I would like to note that this very IP range block is possibly unwanted. Thanks! Diti the penguin — 19:22, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It appears that the original block has been narrowed, and set to anon only - so it shouldn't cause you any further problems. You can also find information on obtaining an IP Block Exemption at WP:IPEC. SQL ^{Query me!} 03:17, 11 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
