Skittles Lover

Hi Yamla.I am not a sock puppet of whoever that other user was but anyway thank you for welecoming me to wikipedia. --Skittles Lover 00:41, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Marking of 202.156.6.54 as a sock

Diff: [1]

How can a shared IP be a sockpuppet of any one registered user? I don't understand. That is the shared IP used by all Starhub cable modem users in Singapore. I have reverted your change because of this. Kimchi.sg 14:39, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RE:Image problems

I have now successfully (as far as I can tell) applied approriate copyright to the following:

I'm hoping to add these back to Paris Hilton, but I didn't know if you could maybe point out anything else that may be needed before I go ahead and add them all back; as I don't want them to just be removed again.

Cheers. :)

Edgovan20 and sockpuppets

I think you have more than enough evidence to take this user's account away from him and block him permanently. Personal attacks galore, repeated edits against consensus opinion, inappropriate use of sockpuppets, vandalism, and a refusal to take the responsibilities of Wikipedia editing seriously. There's no point in playing his silly game anymore. If you want to take action I'll support you fully. \ Fnarf999 \ talk \ contribs \ 18:26, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fnarf, like anyone takes notice of what you think. oh how rude of me, i forgot to say hello. Edgovan20

Thanks

MySpace

I still need a clear statement about MySpace images...Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 16:07, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I try my best to provide fair use rationale for them. Thus far I have left the logo-tagged pictures intact because the tag speaks for itself and I couldn't find any rationales added to other logos by browsing about 50 of them on Wikipedia. I have finished with 20 of my pictures already. Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 16:26, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for this revert: [2]. --mtz206 (talk) 16:53, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image deletions

Hi there. I've just noticed that Image:Arwen2Work.jpg and Image:Arwen sword-2.png have been deleted. I can't rememeber what these images looked like or which articles they were in. Can you help? Also, do you have a link to the WP:IfD page about these images? It would help if the entry in the deletion logs had a link to the WP:IfD archive (if there is one). Also, when I scanned the history of Wikipedia:WikiProject Middle-earth/Images I initially thought that you had only removed them from the gallery, rather than putting them through IfD (I don't have these images on my watchlist). It would be easier for me to see that they have been deleted if you leave the dead link there, and then a blank box will show up. Thanks. Carcharoth 17:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. These images were blatant copyright violations with no provided fair-use rationale. They were noted as fairusedisputed and the original uploader was notified. No fair use rationale was provided and so I speedily deleted them as they were copyright violations. They were both movie screenshots. Sorry for causing you hassle. --Yamla 17:35, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not really a hassle. What would be a hassle is if you don't have a way of telling me what articles those images were used in. Can you do this? Carcharoth 17:42, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
These images were used in the articles on Liv Tyler and Arwen. --Yamla 17:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. OK. I had figured out the Arwen page (obviously), but forgot about the Liv Tyler one. Do you think you could leave a message on the article talk pages next time, not just in the page history? Thanks. Carcharoth 17:46, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I will try to do so in the future unless removing a blatantly inappropriate image (e.g. one not even of the subject at hand), or if removing vast quantities of images uploaded by a person blatantly violating copyright and fair-use. Here, I'm talking about someone who uploads a hundred images of American Idol contestants, for example. But as a general rule, I will try to leave a message on the discussion page. In fact, I'll try to do so a week prior to the scheduled deletion as well so the OrphanBot doesn't interfere with the notification. Do you happen to recall the tag you can add to an image's use on an article page to note that it is in danger of being deleted? Do you think that would suffice? --Yamla 17:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh sure, with hundreds of copyvio uploads, I understand. But for individual images, it would be nice to get warning on the article talk page. It is very common for people not to keep an eye on the image pages, though they should really... As for the tag, try Category:Wikipedia_maintenance_templates, or something similar. I'll have a quick look there myself. And its fine to keep the discussion here. We shouldn't be much longer anyway. Carcharoth 17:55, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The best I could find was Template:Unverifiedimage and Template:Nonfreeimage - that last one looks quite handy! Carcharoth 17:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think the tag I'm looking for is something like {{unverified}} or something. I'll take a look the next time I need to add it to an image. And yes, you bring up good points. Looks like we are in agreement. Have a great weekend! --Yamla 17:58, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Miss Ciara (talk · contribs)

Why do you think this user needs to change her user name? Please do not bite the newbies. - ulayiti (talk) 13:25, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:USERNAME. Wikipedia does not allow names of well-known living people. Miss Ciara has specifically claimed she has chosen her name as she is a fan of Miss Ciara. --Yamla 13:28, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you take this to Wikipedia:Requests for comment/User names if you have such a problem with it. I don't see any reason why someone would mistake this user with Ciara, especially as her user name is not 'Ciara'. Besides, it's only a first name - disallowing this would be enough to ban most first names from being used as user names (especially if 'well known' is interpreted as loosely as you just have). - ulayiti (talk) 13:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fair enough, though I thought it was a pretty clear-cut case. While Ciara's full name is well known, she is not professionally known as anything other than "Ciara". Similarly, Madonna's full name is known but she is also only known by her first name. We would not allow someone to be known as Madonna on the Wikipedia. I assumed "Miss Ciara" would fall into this same category. --Yamla 13:42, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, no problem. If the user name had been just 'Ciara', then I'd have thought it borderline, but 'Miss Ciara' is all right by me. Also, the WP:USERNAME criterion requires the person to be 'well known', and I'd interpret that slightly differently - Madonna would not be an acceptable user name, but Ciara is hardly as 'well known' as Madonna. - ulayiti (talk) 13:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. It looks like we have everything worked out. My apology to Miss Ciara was meant to be sincere, though, and if you think it sounds like I am hedging a little bit much, please do let me know. --Yamla 14:00, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I Know

I know what your talking about. But, I was thinking to hold off all the personal info until my book was published. So that's what I was going to do today! Thanks for the concern. Tcatron565 13:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Processing

I've done with 70% of the work. I've "invented" some fair use for the MySpace picture Image:Julio G.jpg, please have a look at it and tell me what you think. And here's a list of pictures I don't want to use any more.

Can you give me an advice on how the heck I can get a full and correct list about my uploads? Edit counter comes up with many errors...Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 19:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You deserve an apology

Well Yamla and others, I am sorry for my disruptiveness
Although I still think I changed the redhead pic with good reason
Now I intend to use Wikipedia properly
Knowing this, will you give me a break?
Every 5 minutes I seem to get picked on here
Remember what I said please.
So, as I said I will make good changes here from here on.

Edgovan20

Thanks for write your comments when delete my link. I dont kow very much about wikipedia. I hope make one big website with pictures and videos. No problem, Thank you

User:Gemini531

Hi Yamla. I happened across Gemini's user page, and was intrigued by the "kid" userbox. I didn't even know there were people under 14 on wikipedia (14 is an arbitrary number here). It seems to me like you're being a bit harsh with her. Or were, maybe. I'm not sure if you're still watching her actions or not. She's a kid. Just give her some leniency, eh?

IP addresses

Would you please STOP blocking IP addresses as many people in a large region may use the same IP address. I know when I sign on I have obtained the same IP address and you have blocked it because of another using that same IP dial up address did something.

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Yamla for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Vandalism, fourth unique block Your IP address is 67.72.98.86. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.72.98.87 (talk • contribs)

This IP address shows no signs of ever actually being blocked by me. What most likely happened here is an autoblock, i.e. a block of a user, not an IP. However, I can find no evidence that this IP address was autoblocked, either, though it may still be true. In any case, there's no real justification here to stop blocking people who vandalise Wikipedia, particularly those IP addresses not marked as shared, and even if there was, this would be a policy change and should go through the appropriate channels. --Yamla 14:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like you blocked it for 6 weeks: [3]. (The IP address mentioned in the above comment, not the IP that the comment was left from). --mtz206 (talk) 14:13, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ahhh. Thanks, Mtz206. That said, given that it was the fifth unique block (and sixth overall) with a previous block of a full month, given that the IP is not marked as shared, and given the large amount of vandalism originating from that address, the block was justified. The user can request an unblock by placing {{unblock|My reason for unblock here}} on the page. --Yamla 14:31, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair Use Pictures

I think I am finished with labelling the pictures with accurate fair-use rationales. Can you please check them and let me know if I am really over it? Lajbi Holla @ meWho's the boss? 19:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
