I blocked them for 2 hours, since they're a shared account. RickK 22:34, Apr 21, 2005 (UTC)

Hello. I was image tagging, when I came across image:Hacienda51.jpg. I was unable to determine the copyright status, so I tagged it as "unverified". Could you add a proper image copyright tag to it? Pictures without tags will eventually be deleted. Thanks, Datepalm17 10:58, 24 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Masturbation

Would you care to register an opinon on the Masturbation Talk page as to whether a full color photograph of male masturbation is suitable for that page? Thank you. Force10 22:47, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Response to welcome message

Thanks for the welcome message (to 67.51.137.39), but I'm already registered here as User:Exabyte. I just haven't been logging in lately. A note to avoid confusion: My IP changes almost every day (that's why it looks like I'm new here), so contributions made by this IP in the future are not necessarily by me.

Balian of Ibelin

Hi, I notice that you added the "cleanup" notice to Balian of Ibelin - I'm not sure why, but I guess everything always seems clearer to the author :) I've tried to clean it up a bit, and added some sources. Is it better now, or did you have some other concerns with it? Adam Bishop 14:36, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

AMA

Hello, TigerShark, and welcome to the AMA! I think that it's great that you signed up for the AMA (and yes, it's definitely still active). It's entirely up to you whether you add yourself to Misplaced Pages:AMA_Advocates_accepting_inquiries, and you may add yourself at any time, but you may want to get a little experience first. As for Alex756, I'm uncertain of the extend to which he contributes, but I can tell you that his contributions have been infrequent lately: he may be tied up with matters outside of the 'Pedia. – ClockworkSoul 15:21, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

I've given him a warning, which I always do except for the most egregious of vandals. If he doesn't respond, then I'll block him. RickK 22:38, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

Happy slapping

I thought that the quote from a happy slapper was relevant - sorry you didn't. Intrigue 22:08, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to the AMA

That is fine that you've added your info to the AMA members accepting inquiries, just make sure you tell people the extent of your experience here or elsewhere in helping people in these kinds of situations. If you have any questions or want to discuss any issues relating to your work as a advocate best to try to contact me via email, I am just swamped with work outside the wiki realm. — © Alex756 18:54, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

I wouldn't want to have to block so soon, but if he keeps it up it may be necessary. Everyking 00:36, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Image:Kagawong aerial.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Kagawong aerial.jpg. Its copyright status is unclear, so it may have to be deleted. Please leave a note on the image page about the source of the image. Thank you. --Admrboltz 4 July 2005 20:32 (UTC)

disambig link fix

Thanks, but be sure when you fix a disambiguation link like on Columbine High School massacre, you don't upper-case it. ("Meanwhile, a police deputy sheriff" was changed to "Meanwhile, a police Deputy Sheriff") Thanks :) --Golbez 19:13, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Human Rights Servey on Misplaced Pages (The final post of I_sterbinski)

Dear all,

Misplaced Pages was recently a subject of intensive research of an huge international human right organization. A team of people from different nationalities and ages were acting on Misplaced Pages for 20 days, investigating previously noted anomalities of Misplaced Pages free editing and forming a final report, which (between the others similar reports) will later be a guide to all future moves of the organization concerning Misplaced Pages. Acting under an account of a real person, their privacy is to be held private. Therefore, very few private information will be revealed.

Also, this is a result of the lack of final possition of the organization concerning Misplaced Pages and human rights, which was still not formed.

The team's final post on Misplaced Pages, where they explain their actions can be found on the following addresses:

http://en.wikipedia.org/User:I_sterbinski

http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Macedonia#Human_Rights_Servey_on_Wikipedia_.28The_final_post_of_I_sterbinski.29

The team would like to thank to all the persons who took part in the correspondence with us.

We also want to appologise for keeping our identity secret for a longer period.

Best regards,

Aleksandar, Biljana, Asparuh, Christos, Valjon, Michael and Ana Luiza

Sheela-na-Gig photograph

Hi TigerShark, I translated the English Sheela-na-Gig article into German last week. As I don't have a nice photo of a sheela and don't know much about copyright things I would like to ask you whether I could use the photo you inserted in the English article. That would be very nice. I would of course insert a reference as to it being your property. Best wishes, Netzrack.N 26. September 2005, 9:50 CEST

In this case, the anon was correct. (I know, given his/her/its questionable history, you were right to be suspicious.) --Nlu 03:13, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

62.177.137.37's edits at Tree

Hi TigerShark - just a brief comment, your reverting was correct, but 62.177.137.37's edits weren't vandalism, they were an innocent, though misguided attempt to alphabeticise the interwikis, without realising that e.g. "fi" lists under S for Suomi - MPF 14:30, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Eddie and his suspected socks

Cheers for helping out. I'm on my third revert at User:Lets Go Yankees, so would you mind? NSLE _{(讨论+extra)} 00:43, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

POV "Vandalism"

Please be careful not to label changes "vandalism" unless it's obvious that's what's happening. You reverted my changes to the article death on November 19, and cited POV Vandalism. I had explained my reasons for the changes on the talk page, and none of them had to do with my personal opinions. I had been trying to come to a solution on whether to call abortion "death" that would satisfy most people, regardless of their perspectives. In addition, if we're going to include abortions as death, then I don't see why miscarriages don't also count as death. There was no ill intent, nor was it POV (I'm not an animal-rights activst).

I checked the page Misplaced Pages Vandalism, and definitely nothing I wrote consisted of vandalism according to the definitions given. Under "What vandalism is not," the worst you could say would be that it was a NPOV violation, or maybe a mildy bold edit, though I don't think it was either.

I don't vandalize articles. Please be more careful before you write anything that sounds like an accusation. I've left the article on death the way you wanted it.24.64.223.203 08:18, 28 November 2005 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters

Any chance I might convince you to rethink your oppose vote? Or anything I can indicate that might help. The RfC that Grue cites is over 8 months ago (and I do not believe I ever acted egregiously on it; at most flippantly)... is that really a good criteria? Something prior to 95% of my WP edits?

Maybe you're right about "over eager". I wasn't even expecting the nomination. But given that I accepted it, I want it to succeed rather than fail. And I guess I must confess to being a little put off by people not only citing a small number of edits from 8-9 months ago, but mischaracterizing them too, as "evidence of misbehavior". I'm not entirely without ego on this. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 01:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Image:SheelaNaGig.jpg

Hi! Where did you get this picture? You see, I want to add a description to the image in the article. It reminds me of those at Kilpeck Church. Is this a copy? An original in a museum? Did you take the picture yourself? Shinobu 00:30, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:TigerSharkYesterday.JPG

This image may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:TigerSharkYesterday.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Misplaced Pages (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{fairusein|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Misplaced Pages:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. The same counts for Image:TigerSharkYesterday3.JPG and Image:TigerSharkYesterday2.JPG. Garion1000 00:51, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

For your kind support of my Rfa, which passed. If you should ever have any complaints about my admin actions, please let me know. Also, should you ever need my help with anything, please do not hesitate to ask! Thanks again! All the best Banez 17:06, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Dear AMA Member,

You are entitled to vote in the AMA Coordinator election, set to begin at midnight on 3 February 2006. Please see the pages on the election and its candidates and the procedure and policy and cast a vote by e-mail!

My RFA

Hi TigerShark, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). If you voted in support of my request, thank you! If you decided to oppose me at this time, then I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Misplaced Pages may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Proto t c 10:48, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

LOL. You were quicker with the revert

It's always funny to think that you have reverted it and then notice somebody else's name ;) Dr Debug (Talk) 22:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Sean Combs

Well thank you for your message about my 'experimenting', unfortunately it seems you have misunderstood my actions; I was not experimenting or testing anything, I was simply trying to improve the encyclopedia. You see, I thought it was a bit unecessary to have a message on a page titled "Sean Combs" about other uses of the word "Diddy", particularly when "Diddy" has its own page and does not redirect to the "Sean Combs" page. If you don't mind, I would like to reinstate my changes. If you have any other problems feel free to discuss them with me.

You really did it now!!! (you're in trouble)

I'm just joking :-D. I recently started seeing all the vandalism you are reverting. So I thought you deserved this barnstar! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 23:57, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
