If you are here to register a complaint regarding my edits, before doing so please note:
  1. There is a very clear policy regarding the use of non-free images. This policy is located at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content criteria
  2. Read this talk page and its archives before registering your complaint. It is likely someone has already registered a similar complaint, and that complaint will have been given an answer.
  3. Read the policy
  4. Check and make sure the image has a valid source
  5. Make sure that the image has a valid Fair use Rationale (A guide can be found here)
  6. I will not add rationales for you. As the uploader it is your responsibility, NOT mine.
  7. I do not want to see images deleted
  8. All images must comply with policy
  9. A generic template tag is NOT a valid fair use rationale.
  10. If you're here to whine and complain that But <place image name here> is just like my image and isn't tagged for deletion I will tag that image too, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Because of your repeated kindness and willingness to help others when nobody else will even know about it, I sincerely thank you. You've helped me build an army of... well, I'll just leave it there. :-D east.718 at 01:16, December 16, 2007

Your contribution

Hey, love your DANGER sign...may I borrow?

Anyway, I'm here about your recent contribution to WWII lists. This needs to be done in all the lists, so I was going to ask for a Bot request to do it. Are you doing this by hand? If so, please stop and prevent yourself from getting RSI :) However, your good intention and help is appreciated, cheers--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 00:41, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I have a find and replace js that allows me to mass fix them in about 30 seconds, Ill go ahead and fix the rest then. β 00:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
should be converted to the better format now. β 00:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
I placed a request for another issue in Bot requests that may be Misplaced Pages-wide if you want to have a look at that also.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 01:43, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Request for arbitration

I have filed a request for arbitration which involves you. Please see Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Betacommand_3. John254 17:45, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Take it for what it's worth, but my advice is to not bother replying there unless requested by the ArbCom, let others defend you. This looks to me like a frivolous complaint by someone with a grudge, based on the extremely POV language in the dispute. But do whatever you think is best. Kelly 19:12, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Conclusion of the AN thread

Per the consensus of the thread on WP:AN, the Sam Korn solution has gained community consensus. You are prohibited from running automated programs to make edits (or edits that appear to be automated), on either a bot account, or your main account. You are also placed under civility parole, and any edit which is seen as uncivil by an uninvolved administrator may lead to a block. Failure to comply with either of these restrictions will lead to a block of up to one week. These restrictions are in place until the community decide that the remedies are no longer appropriate.

Hey

Why did you call it vandalisim that I changed the wording in the warning? --81.1.105.183 (talk) 19:59, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

editing others comments on talk pages is vandalism. β 20:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
He's right, if someone else says it, you have no right to change it, even if you think your making it better/more accurate. We have WP:MFD for pages that blatantly cause problems. MBisanz 20:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
