Interest In Learning Restoration Practices

Durova, per your userpage I am reaching out to see what I can assist with in re: restoration of images or other documents that can be uploaded to Misplaced Pages/Wikimedia. I have no knowledge of this subject at the moment and am a fledgling user, so any information you have will be beneficial—necessary programs, practices and all the rest. Cheers!

April 2018 Milhist Backlog Drive

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

  • tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
  • adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
  • updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
  • creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

For the Milhist co-ordinators, AustralianRupert and MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 10:54, 27 March 2018 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:Hearst and Morgan.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Misplaced Pages may not meet the criteria required by Misplaced Pages:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Misplaced Pages:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.

ArbCom member Beeblebrox is on Wikipiodocracy with banned editors still going after and trying to out editors?: high placed trolls are still trolls

What is your real name Beeblebrox?

Where do you work?

Email me at MoscowAmerican@gmail.com if anyone knows.

One of the most powerful person on wikipedia, one of the top 20, Beeblebrox has been going after me personsally (IKIP - Travis Lee Bailey) for over 10 years: http://wikipediareview.com/index.php?showtopic=29268

Article Rescue Squadron article in which Beeblebrox has written : https://www.wikipediocracy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=11009

You have destroyed countless lives through your online bullying. Times up Beeblebrox. #timesupWikipedia

What you have been doing is harrassment, it is illegal. I am writing a letter to the wikipedia foundation for a settlement offer or I will sue Misplaced Pages in the state court in which it is registered. You have created a PR nightmare for Misplaced Pages Beeblebrox, because you bully people for YEARS. How many potential class action clients can come forward to testify if emotion distress? User:Diannaa and how she deletes every sentence is no different, she is just not as a dullard as you are to post on open forums.

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists

https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/blog/your-online-secrets/201409/internet-trolls-are-narcissists-psychopaths-and-sadists

How many good faith editors have you personally chased of Misplaced Pages to create your pathetic little imaginary fiefdom Beeblebrox?

--- Many Misplaced Pages admins are "tin pot dictators" The Charms of Misplaced Pages (Nicholson Baker) https://learning.hccs.edu/faculty/ioanna.panos/engl1301-1/unit-1/the-charms-of-wikipedia-nicholson-baker/view


Your pathetic rule and your ilk is built on a hose of cards Beeblebrox. You and your little clique have killed the dream of what Misplaced Pages once was. With Jimbos blessing in the Biography wars and USER:DIANNAA deleting sentences for "copyright violatons" --- So many of us have been stalked in real life and harrassed and had so much of our rearch work destroyed by you personally Beeblebrox.

"I know that Beeblebrox in particular (currently on ArbCom) has an obsessive hatred for us in particular and will do anything possible to prevent either of us from ever being welcomed back in any fashion. I really can't imagine a scenario in which either of us are actually unblocked but it would probably take something we'd be unwilling to go along with.

....

"Over a decade ago, Durova had cautioned me about how some mentally unstable editors might fixate on adversaries and even take their harassment off-wiki, which I have actually experienced. At this point, I don't think Misplaced Pages's worth it. Maybe, if you started your own Wiki or if I made you an admin on a Wikia wiki or something that I might still have admin abilities on, that could be an outlet? But as for actual Misplaced Pages, you have people like Beeblebrox and Reyk that even ten years on will still be obsessed with us. Granted, some of these people are inept, but others should not be underestimated in what they could do to disrupt people's lives where you really have to ask if it's worth the cost to deal with or if you're skilled cyberally to counter them? ...


Blowback in the form of peaceful revolution is a beautiful experience to personally take part in and to witness.
