Apologies

I would like to take this quick moment to apologise to a long list of people, for it appears that almost everyone I've ever sent or received email to/from has received an invite from me to join twitter -- I gave it access to gmail and now I have gone from inadvertently trolling the interwebz to inadvertently spamming the interwebz. I just keep going from strength to strength don't I. Soz, Russavia (talk) 00:16, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus

User:Simfan34, I noticed that you have written an article on Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus; fantastic stuff! And glad to see an image I've uploaded is part of that article. Just letting you know that you might like to substitute the photo in the infobox (and at DYK) with File:Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Minister of Health, Ethiopia, speaking at the London Summit on Family Planning (7556214304) (cropped).jpg.

Comment on The Signpost "In Brief"

I will note that in the "In Brief" section of the Signpost this week, User:The ed17 states:

due to Russavia's refusal to give a definitive positive or negative answer when asked in multiple locations if he inspired the image's creation.

The reason I have not given a definitive answer is numerous.

1. There has not been an ounce of good faith shown towards me? Even Newyorkbrad's initial topic ban was based upon a notion of non-existent disputes on Commons which he was unable to link to (but which he obviously assumed was a dispute by reading Jayen466's posts on Wikipediocracy).
2. The people who have asked have not been extending good faith towards myself, so why should I answer such queries? This goes to most things on this project; when there is no good faith extended, why should I answer such questions?
3. I am now topic banned on this project, and hence am unable to discuss the images in question? Basically I am not able to defend myself on this project; this has occurred in another area where I am actively portrayed as a racist because of another article I created, but am unable to defend myself against such things.
4. For anyone familiar with the subject and the notions of copyright will know why it was suggested.

If anyone who wants to assume good faith wants to ask these questions of me, then please go ahead. I will also response to Spartaz' assumption of bad faith in relation to my "can of worms" comment -- again, anyone who thinks logically and is able to look into the future will understand why this comment was made.

So, ye of good faith, fire away and ask any questions you like. Russavia (talk) 03:07, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

User:Newyorkbrad I need to ask you a question, and I need you to be honest and transparent (I don't expect much honesty and transparency around here these days, so perhaps this will be a welcome change). You stated when you imposed the Jimmy topic ban that it was because of disputes between the two of us. When asked about this, you stated it was common knowledge of these disputes and called my questioning of your assertion "disingenuous". When asked to present those disagreements, you suggested to search on Commons for them. Which I presented at User_talk:Russavia/Archive_27#Special_BLP_enforcement_restriction. The first was asking Jimmy for OTRS permission for an image he uploaded (which I, myself, confirmed by way of OTRS that it was a copyright violation). The second was granting Jimmy the file mover right (hardly something one would do with someone they are in dispute with...and for which I privately got berated for by numerous Commonists). The third was encouraging Jimmy to lend moral support to making problematic images on Commons easier to report. Just where is the dispute? But most importantly, you are being given grief at User_talk:Newyorkbrad#Regarding_Wikipediocracy. I do not believe you are a regular poster there (if at all), but you yourself have admitted on numerous occasions that you do read it, and given that you have been unable to show me just where the disputes are, can you please confirm that you saw a post by Jayen466 on that site, in which he linked to a discussion on Commons and on his en.wp talk page, and somehow came to the conclusion that it was a dispute, rather than simply a discussion. If this is not the case, given that you have stated that these disagreements on Commons are common knowledge, can you please provide specific links to Commons which contain these so-called disputes. I only hope that they aren't any of the 3 cases that I have presented, as there isn't a single dispute amongst them. Russavia (talk) 06:07, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

I've protected your talk page for one month. Once that protection expires, if you continue to use your talk page to do the same sort of stuff for which you were blocked in the first place, I will amend your block by indefinitely revoking your TP access. Enough is enough. AGK 06:12, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Files which should not be on this project

This ridiculous indefinite block means that I am not able to deal with copyright violations and other problematic files on this project.
