Francis, I'm running into an issue with a couple of IP trolls, one in Washington, one in Germany. Since they edit the same pages and say the same things, they are perhaps friends...I don't know. But the Germany IP, ], is starting to take all of my portraits and rename them. They have done so with ], ], ], ], et. al. In their Commons descriptions, they mention that they are "removing the self-promotion of the editor." They also aren't giving the required attribution that is stipulated in the licensing. I spent 60-80 hours at Tribeca photographing, uploading and editing these photographs, that to have my work undone by someone with some kind of anti-me agenda is very frustrating and I could use some help. I have also been frustrated with Misplaced Pages in general lately, and some of the things I have witnessed happening on here, and have contemplated leaving. This kind of effort when I have spent so much time, money and patience to make improvements and provide some of the most difficult images to obtain will seal the deal. I won't even finish the projects I have started. I'm simply getting too burned out. I'm asking for some help. --] 20:08, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Warning! Inflammatory nationalist rhetoric may be removed at any time without notification.

... the third party's weapon is not a self loading rifle but his ability without force or threats to persuade both sides to avoid violence and settle their differences by peaceful means ... - The Peacekeeper's Handbook

To be unpopular with both sides at the same time is probably the best pointer to the fact that one is performing one's duties correctly and with impartiality. - The Peacekeeper's Handbook

I archive my talk page when it gets longer than is preferable. You should too!

Stop! Engage brain! Are you looking for the Macedonian Wikipedians' notice board?

GDFL license

Hi, I really can't understand why do you put possibly unfree images tag on the images which have been published clearly under GDFL. --Sa.vakilian(t-c) 14:33, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Who is "disputing" the copyright status of these images, and under what reason?

Almost all images from the Iran-Iraq war era belong to paramilitary Baseeji organizations and/or Iranian govt agencies. And they are not protected under US copyright laws, as stipulated in the United States Copyright office Circuilar 38. I can provide email addresses for you to verify that the images are currently circulated by IRNA, IRIB, and other govt agencies.--Zereshk 18:36, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

If I recall, I got my copy from a publication by ستاد تبلیغات جنگ تحمیلی (Setad-i Tablighat-i Jang-i Tahmili) which does not exist anymore.
All the pictures of Iran-Iraq war which you have disputed, are now Public Domain. Nobody owns them.
As proof, you can find the same exact pictures appearing (and claimed by) multiple websites:
Those are the facts. The rest is your decision.--Zereshk 23:26, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Francis, I'm running into an issue with a couple of IP trolls, one in Washington, one in Germany. Since they edit the same pages and say the same things, they are perhaps friends...I don't know. But the Germany IP, User:84.178.254.52, is starting to take all of my portraits and rename them. They have done so with Michael Apted, Patricia Neal, Woody Harrelson, Brett Ratner, et. al. In their Commons descriptions, they mention that they are "removing the self-promotion of the editor." They also aren't giving the required attribution that is stipulated in the licensing. I spent 60-80 hours at Tribeca photographing, uploading and editing these photographs, that to have my work undone by someone with some kind of anti-me agenda is very frustrating and I could use some help. I have also been frustrated with Misplaced Pages in general lately, and some of the things I have witnessed happening on here, and have contemplated leaving. This kind of effort when I have spent so much time, money and patience to make improvements and provide some of the most difficult images to obtain will seal the deal.
