:::::::The policy is based on the assumption that free images of living persons, building and objects are possible to obtain. The articles should follow the Misplaced Pages's policy, and not your convictions, so the fact that you're "''not convinced that it is possible to obtain a freely-licensed equivalent''" is not that relevant (unless you have reasons to believe this a very special case and have not yet shared these reasons with us).
:::::::I surely "''can come up with an approach that doesn't involve a revert war''". The approach is to remove the image violating the policy and not readd it nor block the editor who readded it. Do you think it would work? --] 20:44, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

:::::::::Retract your bloking menace and the heat will cool down. So, will you block me if I remove the offending image? --] 21:37, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::::::There is no urgency to fix content issues like this in Misplaced Pages. Discuss things with a few people and wait for a consensus to emerge. Whether the image is up or not during the discussion is unlikely to affect the long term result - which is that free images will be used where possible. ] 21:45, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::::::The image use is against the policy and should be removed period. Quoting Jimbo Wales: "''In general, ordinary publicity photos of celebrities should not be used in Misplaced Pages unless they are released under a free license. (...) '''We are much better off to have no photo''' than to have a fair use or even "wikipedia only" photo.''" (emphasis mine). --] 22:15, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
I really don't see how the image is permitted under current guidelines. The purpose of the image is to illustrate the members of the band, something that is clearly replicable. <span style="font-family: Verdana;">] &bull; ]</span> 22:31, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
: My feeling is that we are moving towards Jimbo's view, but as he said in June, it was not yet policy. As people appreciate Misplaced Pages's role of encouraging the creation of free content, and as the gaps get filled, the policy will emerge. ] 07:15, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
:: As of the 9th of September, the following part of ]: "''An image of a living person that merely shows what they look like ... would almost certainly not be acceptable as fair use"''". <span style="font-family: Verdana;">] &bull; ]</span> 08:19, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
::: Changing the text of the policy page does not change policy. ] (]) 11:10, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
::::The ] has not been changed. It allways had "''No free equivalent is available or could be created...''" as the first criteria for claiming fair use. What was changed was the ], so that interpretations like your are no longer accepted. And this changed followed a IRC conversation with Jimbo Walles.
:::::Changing the text of the "clarification" doesn't alter policy, either. You still don't get it. ] (]) 13:53, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::That's right! You get it! Changing the text of the clarification doesn't alter policy. It just explains with more clearness what the policy has always said. --] 14:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
::::I ask you again, Keely Martin: Will you block me if I remove the offending image? --] 13:14, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::I might, if I think you have done so without gaining consensus for doing so. You need to, at least, discuss your removal on the article's talk page and use an edit summary that (a) explains your actions in detail and (b) invites further discussion on the talk page. And my name is "Kelly", not "Keely". ] (]) 13:53, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
::::::Your insistence in asking for a consensus on either on not to follow a policy does not makes sence. --] 14:46, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::My insistence in ensuring that a proposed interpretation of policy is supported by consensus very much makes sense. So does my insistence that you refrain from edit warring. ] (]) 15:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
:::::::: I don't think Kelly sees me as a friend, having hinted I should be banned in the past, but in this case I agree with Kelly's advice. If the policy is so clear, a discussion on Village Pump (Policy) should show a clear consensus, and a deletion by a third party not involved in the original dispute should follow in due course. If no one want to delete the image, this will show that people think the encyclopaedia is better with the image in, at least for the time being. Causing disruption while enforcing policy could well lead to a block. ] 17:04, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Tracking through ] and ], the request for the deletion and salting of this page appears to have come from you. The problem is that the page survived AFD just yesterday. The AFD decided that this was a notable enough person to deserve a page, and that, while the page needed special attention to keep it clear of ] violations, it should still exist. If this is an official ] action, then I understand. If not, then I am inclined to take this to WP:DR unless given a very good reason not to do so. - ] 21:16, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

::Call me silly, but does this offer actually mean anything? If you were to resign adminship, it'd be yours again as soon as you asked for it back, would it not? ] ] 21:07, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
* '''Virtual''': Via Zoom ( on Eventbrite for link)
:::Don't worry. The only way I'd ask for any of my rights back is if I were asked to do so by Jimbo, Brad or Danny -- any of whom is in the position of assigning those rights to me anyway, community consent or not -- or if any of the five people who demanded my resignation withdrew their demand at some later date. ] (]) 21:14, 19 September 2006 (UTC)
===Bishonen's response===
Hi, Kelly. I'd like to understand your offer a bit better. Are you by inference asking for anything in return from Giano? Like, if Geogre and I end up ''not'' requesting that you resign your rights, then he, Giano, must stop going on about it? I put it on Geogre and me, because it's pretty obvious that the two unnamed admins could be found--even apart from the fact that you're a controversial figure, I'd bet two admins who wanted us to leave could be found for any one of us. Secondly, what rights? It seems to me that your most important rights are quite informal, and held only by the perception of the community and the sufferance of the arbcom—in other words, that they're not something you ''can'' resign. Your giving up CheckUser or oversight rights would hardly benefit the project.
<br>What I would like is for you to stop speaking for the project and for the arbcom, as you do (seem to do) by general perception, and by what I think you have called your "gravitas" as former arbitrator. I would like that because I don't like your contempt and your dismissiveness—no, ''not'' just towards the ill-informed and fickle, but, as witnessed in the <s>current</s> prematurely archived WP:AN discussion, towards excellent contributors such as Geogre ("part of the problem, not of the solution"—then I'd really like to know who ''is'' part of the solution) and Giano (who, disgusting fellow that he is, "spews forth" featured article "material" (qué? "material"? is that different and worse than spewing forth featured articles?) and lots, lots more, ad nauseam. And "them". They who are not "us". I honestly don't care if you ''feel'' the contempt or not. Maybe you don't. It doesn't matter.
<br>You do have special rights, even though not of a kind you can easily give up. It's misleading to say that the position of "Arbitrator Emeritus" entails no rights. Former arbitrators are members of the arbs' mailing list, and read and post freely to it. The arbs' IRC channel is open to them. These seem to me important rights, which bring the power of knowledge: you know what is said in internal arbcom discussions, and you take part in them (or so I presume—at least you can if you want). But I don't see how you can very well give up that power; it's for the arbcom (or Jimbo?) to decide who is and isn't welcome in these fora. ''I would like '''them''' to reconsider this non-transparent, behind-the-scenes power that tradition gives you '''as well as all other former arbitrators.''''' That's my preference. But, as long as this is merely (and I think a bit inappropriately) about you, well, would you consider voluntarily swearing off the High Cabal mailing list and irc channel?
<br>Less loftily, there's the question of the admin tools. I'm on the fence about them--I have some reservations about your use of them, and specifically about your block of MONGO in June (and your unimpressive defence of that block now—if you like, I can elaborate this point). But desysoppings really are sledgehammers, and I need to both think and research a bit more, and hopefully get help from Geogre's input. It would be very helpful from my point of view—though I don't mean to try to "clerk" the response to your invitation here—if ] came in as one of the other two admins, as I believe he knows much more about the adminship issue than I do, and would be able to show whether the MONGO affair was a one-off (though I still think quite bad) lapse of judgement, or one in a series. ] | ] 18:05, 20 September 2006 (UTC).

::::Your analogy is not at all apt. A police officer pursues someone already engaging in a type of behavior, but it is not the officer's actions that causes the crime (presumably, or else we wouldn't bother having police officers...but that's a whole other argument). The implication Friday appears to be trying to make is that Ms. Martin has a tendency to cause offense by her actions, and thus helping to cause the drama (I'm interpreting what someone else wrote, I don't know her or her work well enough to be able to make an informed stand on this). These are clearly two different cause/effect models, however both demonstrate correlation, which I believe is what Friday was going for as supporting evidence to his/her/its thoughts (as presumed by my interpretation). I'd also say that your effort at an analogy is partly disingenuous, as it could be taken as subtley implying that Ms. Martin's relationship to those she has had dramatic dealings with is as the relationship between a police officer and criminals. That is, you are granting presumed "moral high ground" as it were to one party, while condemning the other. When does a police officer pursue someone? When the officer believes the person has committed a crime. She most certainly does have a prerogative, but that does not make her infallible, nor does it make others inherently wrong. ] 20:02, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

If you happen to be around, would you take a look at Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification and Amendment#Pardon request: Guanaco, MarkSweep, et al? I don't have any plans of becoming an administrator, and you probably won't see this, but there it is. —Guanaco 08:45, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
