| ::::Its hardly a one-time use, the "Zodiac vandal" has been doing that for at least a few weeks now. <font face="Broadway">]]</font> 19:02, 16 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
| You only provided one diff, so how was I to know that. But still, surely the appropriate action is to block that vandal, not to prevent everyone from using that image. ] (]) 19:03, 16 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
| :In fact, it appears he already ''has'' been blocked, and the vandalism you reference happened yesterday. Has there been further activity indicating that adding the image to the bad image list is necessary? ] (]) 19:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::The vandal uses a different IP every time. If someone has a legitimate use for the image they can ask for an exemption. The ] gets fairly frequent complaints about this (searching for "Zodiac" brings up 2 yesterday). There's at least one thread currently on both AN and ANI. (I found the image from the diff on the AN thread, apparently a different template was vandalized today). A search for tickets that contain "Zodiac" in the OTRS vandalism queue found about 50 complaints there in the last month. As for further activity, did you read my last comment at all? <font face="Broadway">]]</font> 19:12, 16 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
| ::] was today's vandal. <font face="Broadway">]]</font> 19:16, 16 August 2008 (UTC) | |||
| Yes, I did read your comment; did you read my response? This seems to be a unique situation. It's not an image of a penis that is being widely used to vandalise a variety of pages by a number of editors. It's simply that one particular vandal seems to favour this image as a kind of signature. Placing the image on the bad image list won't prevent the vandal from continuing to vandalise pages, but it will make it harder for others to use the image (particularly those who aren't familiar with the list and don't know how to ask for an exception). And there's nothing stopping him from simply choosing a different image to use -- there are several images of celtic crosses to choose from. Are we to block every single image? ] (]) 19:19, 16 August 2008 (UTC) | |||

| Hi there. Thanks for taking on the bot request for geolocating articles about places in the Arctic. We now have ]. Would you also be able to tag the pages?

| :You'll probably want to ask someone else for the tagging. There's plenty of bots already approved to do tagging. I can provide a list that can be loaded directly into AWB (which I believe is what most people use for project tagging). I started running the script about 13 hours ago, its now about 35% done.
