User:Russavia/Top

Can you help?!?

I am in constant need of photos for various articles I am working on, and I am in dire need of the following photos from around the globe. So I turn to the community in the hope that someone out there is able to take the photos that I require.

If you can help with photos of any of these subjects, please upload them to Commons, and then post a short message with a link to the photos on my English Misplaced Pages talk page.

In the event you don't have a Commons log-in, you can email them to me at russavia.wikipedia@gmail.com and advise which licence you would like to licence them under, and I can do the uploading, categorisation, etc.

I have provided as much detail on what I require, including addresses, links to online maps, and photos of the subject that I am unable to upload to Commons, in order for photographers to identify the subject I require.

More info at User:Russavia/Required photos

Notes

Come back

Please change your mind and come back. Laissez faire, it doesn't matter. Do get involved again.

P.S.: I started to upload the images you suggested to Commons, and also started to include them in a number of articles.

Collect

Re : interesting. Collect has made similar implausible claims of uninvolvement elsewhere William M. Connolley (talk) 17:36, 8 October 2011 (UTC)

Oh yeah, it's a joke. Everytime I see "uninvolved Collect" I piss myself laughing, because it actually indicates that he is knee deep involved. Such as at the AE request, how on earth can he say he is "uninvolved" when he also actively edit warred in removing the POV tag, tried claiming neutrality on the issue, which of course got some bemused comments from other editors. Collect is neither uninvolved or neutral in most things. I have never really bumped into Collect before, and from using wikistalk we had only ever edited around about 6 articles which were the same...and never at the same time, but rather long periods apart. But yet, there "uninvolved" and "neutral" Collect is, at almost every dispute discussion involving myself, making his uninvolved and neutral comments to try and have me sanctioned. So I share your disdain for such behaviour, even moreso when the editor outright lies at a 3RR report and an amendment request involving myself, and pushes for me to be sanctioned and/or banned (refer to the last 2 weeks). Frankly, I have no time for such dishonest editors, and they will themselves get banned before too long because of that dishonesty. Glad I'm not the only one who see this. Good luck with your request too. Russavia 18:10, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
Your edit of Collect's statement to make him 'involved' seems to be a violation of WP:TPG. Since WP:AE is an admin board, I can't rule out that you might be blocked for modifying someone else's statement. When an editor states that they are 'uninvolved,' it is simply a claim by the person making it. You can interpret their statement with whatever grain of salt you think best. You would normally be free to rebut Collect's statement in your own section, but you can't do so anymore since the report is closed. To avoid problems, I suggest that you revert your own edit to the closed report. Your use of the word 'lies' above also seems to be a personal attack. Please be circumspect about your own behavior if you want to participate in discussions about others' behavior at AE. EdJohnston (talk) 20:03, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Please do not edit other people's statements..

Like you just did at RfArb/A: It's impolite, combative, and in the long run of things, fairly useless to the Arbitrators. See this discussion thread on more Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration/Requests#Statement_by_uninvolved.... Thanks. SirFozzie (talk) 19:34, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

Refer to User_talk:Russavia#Collect right above here. It is dishonest of an editor to claim to be uninvolved, particular in a thread which is discussing topic bans on two editors in which Collect was more than a willing participant in edit warring, plastering notices on people's talk pages warning them of 3RR, when he was edit warring, and ignoring talk page discussions. It is now becoming a running joke. It may not be of any use to Arbitrators, but it of use to the general community who might be otherwise clueless as to an editor's level of involvement. But hey, if you say it is combative, I won't do it in future. I have removed all pages, except for those in my userspace from my watchlist, am no longer keeping any major tabs on discussions, with the exception of the clarification request, so I thank you for the link; I will post a comment over there.
