Hello and welcome. If you're wondering about the '''403''' in the signature, it's the number of my featured credits.
{{quotation|'''Frequently asked questions:'''<br>
1) Would you teach me to restore images?
:*Absolutely. Helping you learn is my pleasure and priority.
2) Would my photograph pass ]?
:*Please ask at ].
3) Would you create a map, vectorize an image, or something like that?
:*Please go to ].
4) I don't want to learn to restore images, but I want ''you'' to restore stuff for me.
:*Please supply an uncompressed TIFF or PNG file of 10 MB or larger. And offer to do something for me.
5) I thought you restored images in ten minutes with a couple of Photoshop plugins?
:*False assumption. The fastest ] writers turn out good articles at about the same speed as I restore images. Takes comparable effort. <small>Actually, ] and ] say they're faster.</small>
6) What can I do in return?
:*I have written ]; how about you improve one of them and we conominate at ]? Then you answer all the manual of style objections. ;)
7) I have a random problem. Would you please drop everything and solve it?
:*This is not Misplaced Pages's complaints department. Please go to ]. He's equally ineffective but his page auto-archives.
8) You screwed up.
:*Please explain where and how and I'll try to set things right. And please entertain the outside possibility that it wasn't intentional evil.
9) Are you a troll?
:*No, but my ] is.
10) When are you going to ask for ] ops again?
:*Actually I have admin ops at three other WMF projects. On this site my user talk has 77 archives and needs a FAQ. If people here could ask me for unblocks I'd never get any work done.}}

::No worries.
::I like the image design very much, although I've come to realize it can be interpreted in various ways depending on the assumptions and insights brought to it by the viewer. For example it can be seen as depicting Misplaced Pages as symbolically balancing out the world's bananas. But the meaning isn't clear and seems elusive to me with some of the many possible interpretations being negative. This makes the image even more intriguing if somewhat "dangerous".

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Misplaced Pages. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki.

== April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive ==

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the ] is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

* tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
* adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
* updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
* creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of ], and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up ].

== Arbitration motion regarding Durova ==
Durova, quite frankly series of edits is unacceptable. Specifically, where you say; "''He renews the obnoxious suggestion that the Arbitration Committee should hold a woman culpable because a sitebanned editor once sold underwear with her portrait on it.''" - Either add evidence where MZMcBride has specifically stated that women should be held accountable because of a sitebanned editors specific actions (and by evidence, I don't mean just speculation - I mean where he's actually stated what you're suggesting) or remove it immediately. ''']<sup>See ] or ]</sup>''' 23:54, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
:Your post appears to demand evidence for an assertion I did not make. I am willing to provide diffs for the assertion I actually made. It would take a little while. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 00:01, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::You clearly did make an assertion in the quote which I gave you; specifically MZMcBride's "suggestion that the Arbitration Committee should hold a woman culpable because a sitebanned editor once sold underwear with her portrait on it." Please remove it until you are willing to provide diffs to back it up. If it's going to take a while, then take it down until that point. I think 30 minutes is a fair amount of time to decide what you're going to do, else I'll be forced to remove it myself. ''']<sup>See ] or ]</sup>''' 00:04, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
:::Ryan, the decision is already made. I was always willing to provide diffs. The only unclarity was your demand "add evidence where MZMcBride has specifically stated that ''women'' should be held accountable because of a sitebanned editors specific actions". He never made a general statement about women, nor did I claim that he did. Several posts that he made from January 12 onward do carry a disturbing tendency, and I have observed no post from him that is inconsistent with the tendency: the pattern is consistent in one instance and it is reasonable to inquire whether he would repeat it in others. I was gathering diffs while you posted and will return to that task as soon as this reply is complete. Due to their cumulative nature and the fact that both MZMcBride and I are prolific editors, a half hour deadline for the completion of this task is not feasible. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 00:15, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::::Fair enough, I've had no other option but to refactor your comment myself. 30 minutes was a reasonable time frame for you to decide that you wouldn't have enough time to find diffs and remove it yourself. ''']<sup>See ] or ]</sup>''' 00:23, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
:::::Ryan, each time you post here consumes time away from actually fulfilling your demand. It is difficult to fulfill your request swiftly for reasons already explained. An additional challenge is that your statements appear to shift ground with each post. You stated, "I think 30 minutes is a fair amount of time to decide what you're going to do". I promptly replied that I had indeed decided. If you had instead demanded that whether or not it was feasible to actually carry out that intention within half an hour I must refactor promptly or you would do so, then I would have refactored. Instead a substantial portion of that half hour was consumed in parsing your demands, you have refactored (which gives the appearance that I have been uncooperative), and as a result of your action I see little alternative to entering something as evidence which I would have preferred to have resolved less formally. It is more than a little surprising to see this; in four years I have never had an interaction with an arbitration clerk unfold this way before. If you can see a way to turn the heat down on this, please advise. But if this is the sort of clerking you do then I hope that such stringency is evenhanded. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 00:37, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::::::"a half hour deadline for the completion of this task is not feasible." - To me, that's stating that you are unwilling to comply. Perhaps I was a little quick in the actual refactoring, but I read your last comment to mean "I'm not going to be able to find diffs and I'm not willing to refactor" - Please accept my apologies if this was not the case (as you're stating now). I would suggest that if you have evidence of this, you send it directly to the committee by email - I'm not sure there is anyway that you could present such evidence on-wiki without heat being turned up to the max. ''']<sup>See ] or ]</sup>''' 00:42, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
(unintdent) Not unwillingness; inability. It's a matter of collecting diffs across two prolific edit histories and multiple pages. I have half a dozen quotes in a text editor now and am beginning to craft a statement. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses; one of my weak points is multitasking. I am endeavoring to comply with your request as fast as possible. It's late afternoon in my time zone, though, and in a short while I will need to leave the computer to fix dinner. If all goes smoothly I may be able to post an early draft before then. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 00:49, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

G'day D - we had a bit of a mini-interaction over at the request for comment about biographies a short while ago, and I thought I'd pop by to see if you could shed a wee bit more light on comment? It came across to me as a bit grumpy (fair enough) - but I'm keen to learn more about how you're feeling, and what you've learned - I think it's a fair interpretation of that comment that you feel / know that I've bungled somehow in my 'freelance attempts' (did you intend that to sound pejorative? It sort of comes across that way) - I'm a big supporter of the powerhouse museum down here, though really haven't had much to do with them (sharing a nice lunch with ] and the powerhouse folk is about it - I missed the 'backstage pass' sadly) - if your comment was more grump than substance than that's cool, otherwise I'm interested in what you meant..... ] (]) 01:54, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
:My feelings needn't worry you. There is an old saying that people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Inappropriate accusations of misbehavior often originate from those whose consciences are not clear: a child who skips class accuses sick schoolmates of malingering, etc. It's good practice to make one's own disclosures proactively when suggesting that other editors may have withheld information. That only takes a few extra words and eliminates the risk of confusion. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 02:21, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
::hmmmm... I think I may have lost you? I just can't really make sense of your reply! I get the first bit (that I needn't worry about your feelings) but the rest, whilst I can generally sort of agree with you, I find hard to see how it applies to my post above? What I'm trying to ask is a) whether or not you intended to be a pejorative (grumpy / rude etc.) and (more importantly) b) what you meant by referring to my (meagre) contacts with the powerhouse folk - it sounded like you were aware of harm / confusion / damage that I'd been part of? You also mentioned 'accusation' above, and in the original post, and that's escaping me too, I'm afraid - because I'm occasionally quite slow at this sort of thing, would you mind filling in the blank 'I feel that you accused me of _____________' I'm sure we can clear this up :-) ] (]) 02:40, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

This is to let you know that your most recent evidence submission, as well as related evidence talk page sections, have been copied and moved to the Arbitration Committee private wiki. This is done to respect the rights of both parties involved. The nature and characterization of your evidence is such that neither party should feel obliged to discuss the issue in a heavily-watched public forum. Should you have further evidence along these lines, you are encouraged to submit it by email to the Arbitration Committee, and a copy will be shared with MZMcBride. Likewise, any evidence he submits to the Committee on this subject will be shared with you. ] (]) 03:58, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

:May the Committee's deliberations reflect that the submission was posted under extreme time pressure per an explicit demand from the case clerk, and that I had voluntarily redacted sensitive names although the case clerk had not requested redaction. I respectfully request that the slurs upon my integrity and character be likewise moved to the Committee's private wiki, since you prevent me from using publicly available information to rebut them. This handling has been very one sided: the attacks accumulated for weeks without any response from the arbitrators or clerks; it is only the defense that is concealed. Twenty-six diffs substantiated everything in that evidence submission. I have made no personal attacks and have violated no policy. I have no reason to be ashamed.
:There are sixteen other arbitrators who are welcome to handle this matter. I repeat for the fourth time, Risker, the request that you recuse from anything having to do with me. <font face="Verdana">]</font><sup>'']''</sup> 04:19, 27 January 2010 (UTC)

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

For the Milhist co-ordinators, AustralianRupert and MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

File source problem with File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif

Thank you for uploading File:Clapboard farmhouse in Florida 1911.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Misplaced Pages. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a list of your uploads. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. mattbr 07:07, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
