== Re: Non-free rationale for File:STBoughBreaks.jpg ==


I uploaded that image years ago along with a bunch of others for various Star Trek episodes, and since then others have deleted and/or replaced my images because they think theirs were better and what not - I really don't care, but for this image I had a good rationale written for it that seemed satisfactory until someone else decided to change it on me. So again, I replaced the rationale with my original text - if it's not good enough then do whatever with it because I'm sick of babysitting things around when someone suddenly thinks it's not good enough. ] (]) 17:33, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

== Re: File:MIT ESG lizard mural with red lizard.jpg ==


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
What's the unambiguous copyright violation? This is a mural in a public space at MIT, and students in the ESG program consider these lizards to be their unofficial symbol. It was painted by a group of anonymous students as a group project at ESG some years back, so the creator is not available to ask for permission. I will try to get the ESG administrator's permission if you would find that satisfactory, but in any case, the photo we took represents only a small portion of the entire mural, and should therefore OK under "fair use."


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ] .

Hi Future Perfect at Sunrise. Cla68 removed the log of the warning you issued to Mors Martell from ]. Since he made the edit without any discussion anywhere on wikipedia, reversing an administrative decision, his edit appeared to me to be vandalism and I reverted it at such. If he wishes to challenge the arbcom motion concerning restoring edits of Echigo mole, he can do so, but he cannot stage a protest by vandalising arbcom pages. ] (]) 05:57, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

:@Mathsci: You are making it ''very'' difficult for people to continue providing support in this area. On the topic of R&I, and in regard to trolling from banned users, you are correct in principle, but evidence is mounting that you have no idea how to protect yourself or the community from abuse. Your behavior is indistinguishable from that of a person who thrives on conflict—what possible good could come from reverting an established editor (particularly on an arbitration page, and with a blatantly incorrect edit summary of "rvv"—see ]).

::The way of dealing with trolling in this case was simple. Firstly a report at wikiproject Open proxies. After one further edit from the proxy, the proxy was blocked for 2 years by Kuru. I then filed an SPI report "for the record". Reaper Eternal confirmed that the sockmaster was Echigo mole. Is that what you're objecting to? ] (]) 07:42, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

*A small correction also. The instruction to me logged on ] reads. "Mathsci is instructed to refrain from posting further enforcement requests '''regarding the interaction bans listed here on-wiki''' without prior private consultation and agreement from an uninvolved adminstrator familiar with the case." That evidently did not apply in this particular case. Nevertheless I still agree with your advice that, given the logged warning to Mors Martell (now back in place), there was no need in this case for an AE report. ] (]) 10:37, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


== Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research ==


Hello,
==peacock tag on ]==


I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].
Greetings, with regards the peacock tag on ] I assume this adds the comment - This article may contain wording that promotes the subject in a subjective manner without imparting real information. Please remove or replace such wording and instead of making proclamations about a subject's importance, use facts and attribution to demonstrate that importance. (January 2013) -


Take the survey ''''''.
Please can you clarify and advise as to how best update the article so as to satisfy this peacock tag. Are there specific sections that I should put into separate articles, what is your advice?
