Ok, can you please help me tag these since they were recomended for deletion, they are not in any way taken without consent, but given to me by their authors personally. Files concerned are in FK FAP article as well as Priboj City Stadium article. I tried to fix them, but obviously I do not have enough experience. This is a very important info for me as well as FK FAP. I reside in the United States, but I have direct contact with the club.

RE:Karen Kondazian

Hi, Can her head shot be used? Also, Is there any way to put the picture up or do they all have to be free use. Since Karen does own the pictures...I could ask if she wants to do this.

I'm all set. I resubmitted the picture as free use.

Rada Cutlery Page

You deemed it as unambiguous advertising. I was simply giving the general information about the company. Any advice or help would be appreciated. Along with this, I have added credible references to Rada Mfg Co. page. I wanted your input on the Rada Cutlery page as these two are two different divisons.

Thanks, KightIa

Some Important News about Operation Jackpot

Hello Fut.Perf. at Sunrise, I have studied a number of books and internet Website of Pakistan Defence Forum and Indian Defence Forum and also I read the book of of Mr.Sezan Mahmud OPERATION JACKPOT. Every where I noticed the fact that Mongla Operation was conducted by only 24 commandos and they blown six ships on 15th August 1971.I am seeking permission from you to edit this part.Other wise Misplaced Pages shall display wrong information. Best Regards, Flugalarm

Banned User Socks

While I appreciate the advice, I assume it comes with a confirmed SPI on the IP you blocked? Or was it blocked as an open proxy? (I had no reason to check prior to my response.) But no offence intended, its a bit pointless asking me to do something I am unable to confirm beforehand as I have no idea who the IP was, and am subsequently unable to communicate with them as you have already blocked the IP. A simple message 'This IP has been blocked as a sock of X' would have sufficed. Unless its your advice I dont converse with random IP's who show up at my talkpage at all? Because thats not going to happen. Either way as you have read the exchange you know I have no intention of getting involved in someone elses obsession. My advice to the (unknown) IP can be equally applied to almost everyone else at that AE thread. The deceitful and manipulative nature of some of the allegations there are amazing in their tenacity. I would rather put my arm in a rabid dogs mouth than get involved with that on-wiki. Since you seem to be looking into it however - take a very close look at the timings of the events. I am available via email if you want further opinion. Only in death does duty end (talk) 15:12, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Are you Chinese, why you edit my hometown page? Wuxi County

(talk page stalker) Please note that you do not own any articles on Misplaced Pages. Misplaced Pages is the encyclopedia anyone can edit, however your recent image uploads and edits show that you might not be familiar with the rules and guidelines of Misplaced Pages. You should read our guidelines on WP:Galleries. And first of all we need evidence that the multiple images you recently uploaded to Misplaced Pages have really been taken by you (see your user talk page). De728631 (talk) 21:12, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Bnncff: I removed those images from the gallery because it is inappropriate on Misplaced Pages and unencyclopedic to have pictures of identifiable private individuals displayed in this way, especially the one to which you added a highly insulting caption. (I'm not sure if you understand the implications of the term "Hoi polloi" in English.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:22, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

See what is hoi polloikongshengxin (talk) 21:36, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Ah, it's as I thought, a problem with your command of English. I know what that term means, but evidently you don't understand it fully. The phrase is almost invariably used in a pejorative sense. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:40, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

That's what I got from www.dictionary.com I believe that is PROPER ENGLISH...or you are speaking a slang in your own English dialect. And If identifiable private individuals displayed, how about the picture of HOI POLLOI? One Old Man, one child, they are private individuals too. And indeed Chongqing girls are the most beautiful girls in the whole China, U can ask this question from any Chinese, Then prove I am not telling a lie!kongshengxin (talk) 21:44, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

No, it is not proper English to call people "hoi polloi". It is highly insulting, implying an attitude of upper-class arrogance against working class people. Also, independently of the caption, it is still inappropriate for Misplaced Pages to have photographs of random, identifiable non-notable private individuals displayed in articles about geographical places as if they were landmarks. That page is not your private photo gallery were you can have pictures of your girlfriend or whoever that young lady is. Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:50, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

I get distasted! I guess you are a female...Jealous...And the picture of Hoi Polloi is the working classkongshengxin (talk) 22:01, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Well, you happen to be mistaken about a number of things here. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:02, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

I tell u the truth the others pictures I ask someone else to upload for me, it is from the same website www.cqwuxi.cn, if the author knows his or her pictures on the wikipedia, he or she would like to happy one week!kongshengxin (talk) 22:06, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Request regarding Berlin Victory Parade of 1945

At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Archive_114#Wrong_commons_description.3F_1946_Allied_Victory_Parade_in_Berlin you mentioned you found some German sources confirming that another parade took place there in 1946. Could I ask you to add at least a short referenced sentence to the 1945 parade article stating that fact? I don't read German, and I can't find any English source for that. Thanks! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:00, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I can certainly check the sources for you, but I'm sure you are more qualified than I when it comes to turning that into an actual wording that makes sense in the context of your article. Unfortunately I can only see Google snippets of most of the sources. I guess this one is the best, but what I can see on p.303 is just that "units of all four allied powers" paraded on the Charlottenburger Chaussee, in front of the Brandenburg Gate, on the first anniversary of the German surrender on 8 May 1946. (The context seems to imply that this illustrates a state of affairs that was soon to change, probably referring to the later role of the Gate as a symbol of the Cold War rift between the allies, but I can't see the rest of the text.) this one has some interesting stuff about the photographer of that photo series, a "Jewish photographer Abraham Pisarek", who is said to have also created many other important historical photographs in Berlin at the time, among them the iconic photograph of the handshake between Wilhelm Pieck and Otto Grotewohl during the cration of the SED. This source also confirms that the 8 May 1946 parade was connected to the inauguration of the Soviet War Memorial (Tiergarten). That's basically all I have at this point. Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:59, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I have added a sentence based on your findings here; feel free to adjust it. Also, if you could add a page number to the second source, it would be great. Thanks! --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 01:24, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Enforcement

. You know, Mathsci posted comments in my section, instead of responding in his section as he's supposed to. So, he probably should have been blocked for disruption for not following board procedures. The problem is that you had already posted a response in my section, so he probably felt it was ok for him to do so. So, it's partly your fault that that thread turned into an impromtu debate because you didn't follow the rules. Now, I should be able to post a comment in my section without it being hatted or reverted, as you just did. I'm going to go back and leave a few sentences giving my opinion on recent events. Mathsci is free to respond and have the last word in his section and things can proceed with the enforcement request normally. If you could please refrain from intervention that makes things worse or contributes to an escalation, and as long as both me and him are following the rules, then there shouldn't be a problem. Thank you. Cla68 (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

This has very little to do with the formalities of who posts in what section. It has very much to do with people's obsessive inability to just shut the fuck up when their participation in something is obviously not helpful. I'm disappointed; I had really expected you to behave with a bit more maturity. Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:25, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

I certainly understand your frustration with Mathsci's conduct, but suggesting that he be blocked for posting in the wrong section is excessive. However, Future also shouldn't have removed your comment at AE.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 04:38, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Based on something you said on the enforcement page, and Future's comment above, plus Mathsci's post below, something clicked in my mind while I was out on my daily run about what actually took place here, and his posting in my section is evidence of it. I will post someting on the enforcement page as soon as I have time to get the diffs together. Cla68 (talk) 04:55, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

You are named in an Arbcom request

Just a question

Wouldn't it best if we really wanted Cla and Mathsci to indeed leave each other alone, that the one way interaction ban be made mutual? From everything that Mathsci's posing in there, think he needs to step back and put down the stick just like Cla needs to.. SirFozzie (talk) 06:02, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Well, I'd say to test that we first need to see how he behaves if and when he is finally left alone. If he misuses that then, we can still add something to the sanctions. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:08, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
