About Philippine Governemnt Seals

Hello Future Perfect at Sunrise,

I was wondering if I could get your advice. See I was browsing city and town articles when I spotted some of their official seal's summary in the source description said's Own Work and also the author claimed by a user. I want to seek your advice. Is this really possible? ---- BrianZhukov 14:53, 3 July 2011 (UTC+8)

Image licensing

Dear Future Perfect, Anthony Nguyen is my name and that is my photo, however Moo-Hyun Kim is the director of the hospital in question and I am an employee of his. The image for the first file is his property, and he has asked me to upload it. Unfortunately he is not very computer literate, and I'm pretty sure he would be unable to do it. I'm unsure of how to license it appropriately. The other two flagged images are also hospital property, but we are unsure of how to get permission to use them. Please advise if possible.

- Anthony

Alright, I added the copyright information for the image.

The warning can now be removed. Thank you for notifying me. --Rrrr5 (talk) 06:49, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

OK, now it should be all fixed. --Rrrr5 (talk) 07:15, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Reason to Delete Pankajpachauri.jpg file =

May I know, why you remove Pankajpachauri.jpg , as you mention wrong tag. I have mention right tag, please perform revert to Pankajpachauri.jpg file. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gokulchandola (talk • contribs)

According to our rules, you cannot use a copyrighted (non-free) TV screenshot to serve as a portrait in an article. The tag you added is only for screenshots that are used to support critical commentary on the program itself, in articles about TV series, movies etc. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:03, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

infoboxes

If you think an article would not profit from an infobox, could you change the tag from 'yes' to 'no'? If you delete it, they'll just get tagged again. — kwami (talk) 10:45, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Ah, okay, fair enough. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

I've been going through and adding infoboxes (scores of Chinese-dialect articles, for example, where they're quite useful), but in some cases I don't know if they're warranted, and in some I simply don't care. But the 'box-needed' category only had 3 articles, so I took all articles tagged for WP languages/linguistics that did not, threw out those that did not deal with varieties of language, and tagged most of the rest. Since that's over 400 articles, I didn't go through them all individually, and as I said, I'm not always sure, so I tried to err on the side of inclusion. Since I'll probably repeat this every once in a while to catch new poorly formatted language articles, having an explicit 'no' is helpful.

If you're ever bored, there's a whole list of 'em waiting for a second opinion! — kwami (talk) 12:04, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that list. I was just going back through a few that I cared about, more or less, starting with the Greek ones. Since infoboxes must burn in Hell, you'd probably find me on the skeptical side of things in some more cases. Fut.Perf. ☼ 12:16, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Notice

This is to inform you that the consensus of the discussion in the Parthian Empire's talk page was to mention possibly in the description of the picture. No matter how many users were for it or against it. But the result was that. Therefore changing the words and of course worse than that deleting the image completely and threatening me to be blocked in the edit summary is against the wikipedia's rules and by doing such a thing, you are abusing the power of your adminship.

Another time you abused your power was when you completely removed the House of Suren's crest while I was trying to prove it by different sources. You posted me a warning message in my talk page which was not good for that situation. Simply because I was not edit waring , I wasn't simply reverting you, any time I was in with a new source. and finally I did not edit the article more than 3 times in a 24 hour period. In fact ( contact ) 17:51, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

It is quite simple: You need reliable sources for any claim you make; you have not brought any, for either of the two issues. As long as you have no sources, these claims stay out of the article. You are welcome to bring them back if and when you find reliable sources. A reliable source for a matter of archaeology, like this, is an academic specialist publication in the field of archaelogy. Anything less than that simply won't do. And no, a claim made in a bunch of non-reliable sources does not translate into a "possibly" in Misplaced Pages; it translates into no mention at all.

And yes, of course you were edit-warring, and no, I didn't say anything about using my admin status, so stop making nonsensical accusations about "abusing my power". Fut.Perf. ☼ 20:47, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

1- Just to clarify it, when there is a consensus about something among users in wikipedia, if after a while a user wants to change it, he/she should first discuss it and in case make a new consensus before making any changes. (something that you did not do in this case)

You have reverted a consensus without any prior discussion.

In this case a user who changes the consensus should be reverted.

2- Who is going to decide whether a source is reliable or not ? you ?!

Let me once again remind you that I was not edit warring, I have never done such a thing and I won't do it in the future. simply because it's against the rules in here. As I have said before I was putting back the crest each time with a new source. It was you who keeps deleting the sourced material from the article (edit warring).

In fact ( contact ) 22:57, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Still not a reliable source. That's an amateur website that quotes Misplaced Pages among its own sources, for crying out loud. You really need to get off Google, and get into a library. Fut.Perf. ☼ 04:48, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

No, It does not mention Misplaced Pages as a source for the Parthia/Parthian section. In fact ( contact ) 10:51, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Any work that uses Misplaced Pages as a source for anything is automatically unreliable as a whole. Serious academics don't use Misplaced Pages as a source. Fut.Perf. ☼ 10:53, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

• Forgive me to ask you this question, But I am really starting to think that you are Wikihounding me. You are opposing me everywhere ! Please tell me I am wrong. Because I am really starting to panic. In fact ( contact ) 09:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

With all respect

Stop harassing my edits, if you don't like my re-assessments I recommend you to a) Stop assuming I don't read the articles, b) read the quality scale (of all the projects) and c)(Re)request an assessment to the relevant projects if you disagree with my judgment. Do not reply to me. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 17:49, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, I re-assessed your page without checking it correctly, that's you wanted to hear? Fine. Now, you are the admin, and "I don't want to be blocked", so, congratulations, do the assess by yourself I'm not going to do them because my judgement is wrong and I want to let down the editors of the pages I've re-assessed with "your article is a start-class, I'm laughing about it. I hope you have help from somebody else because in more than one year of doing this I have found no one assessing pages. And for Sata, you want it simple: two unsourced sections, more unsourced information elsewhere, and randomly this is a C-class article. And again, if you don't like Sata assess click here and list it. Tbhotch. Grammatically incorrect? Correct it! See terms and conditions. 18:18, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Archaic Greek alphabets

Hello! Your submission of Archaic Greek alphabets at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Nothing major, just a couple of paras need citations. The hook does not accord to the rigid DYK rules, but it is OK by me. Nice article. BabelStone (talk) 23:42, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

BTW, I've replied re images vs Unicode on my talk page. BabelStone (talk) 23:44, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and why is it semi-protected? That can't be right can it? BabelStone (talk) 23:46, 24 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for all your help with this one. About the semiprotection, like all Greek alphabet topics, it's been a target of disruption from User:Wikinger. We could try unprotecting it, but I'm not very optimistic. Fut.Perf. ☼ 07:23, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

One more thing on that DYK nomination... --Orlady (talk) 11:59, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

More on Izadso

Wishing to thank you once again for your assistance in sorting out the whole Kühntop mess, I just wanted to let you know that Izadso has asked to be unblocked; I have informed that I'd be willing to consider it, provided he accept some conditions. I have listed them here. If you wish to chime in, your comments would be appreciated! Salvio 10:58, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up, good job. Fut.Perf. ☼ 11:25, 25 September 2011 (UTC)

Revdel/account block needed asap

Can you assist? Someone appears to have revealed their WP password - see this. Thanks. - Sitush (talk) 09:54, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
