Photograph request

Hello, Hasteur. I found your username on the Dallas County photographers page. The Ebola virus outbreak in the United States page, now averaging 25,000 views per day, could use a picture of the Presbyterian Hospital of Dallas. If possible, could you stop by the hospital and take a picture, from the same location as this one? It would be much appreciated by the thousands of editors and readers alike. There is no risk of contracting Ebola from taking this photograph :) BlueAg09 (Talk) 22:58, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

@BlueAg09: does it need to be the same view? Hasteur (talk) 23:52, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Doesn't have to be the same view, but as long as the emergency room and Texas Health Presbyterian sign are showing. Daytime shot would be ideal. BlueAg09 (Talk) 23:54, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

It's sunset right now and I'm almost there. Will try right now. Hasteur (talk) 23:57, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

@BlueAg09: they have the emergency wing cordoned off. I'll upload once I get home and let you decide if you want to keep it. This hospital is the same one as "Dallas Memorial" in the old Dallas tv series. As a resident of the area I can verify it. If a better pic is needed I'll try Sunday when I'm around agai.

@BlueAg09: Yeah, even I'm embarrased at the picture. [1] It's far too grainy/ugly and taken on my camera phone. I'll go back Sunday and get a daytime photo. Hasteur (talk) 00:48, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Some baklava for you!

Thank you for the image for Ebola virus cases in the United States. Well done. SW3 5DL (talk) 03:16, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello Hasteur:
Thanks for all of your contributions to Wikipedia and especially for going above and beyond the call of Wiki duty in photographing Texas Presbyterian Hospital for the U.S. Ebola virus article. Well done you. Have a fun Halloween!

• Bearian Thank you for that completely useless comment. I didn't challenge is notability, I challenged the lack of verifiable information from independent reliable sources. All the sources are the college he is the regent of (which has a vested interest in making him notable), Colleges he's guest taught at (which has a vested interest in making him notable) or his political campaign (which has a vested interest in making him notable).

Thank you. As my students would say, you made me LOL. I'll see what I can do to fix the issue that you've identified. Bearian (talk) 17:27, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Note

I'm not going to get involved in that case mess, but I will say that I created the page as a matter of clerking. As far as the enforcement page is concerned, that was created at the behest of Dreadstar, an enforcing administrator, mirroring a similar page used for the Obama GS.

Arbitration Committee Elections December 2014/Candidates/Technical 13/Questions

Hello Hasteur,

I'm writing to inform you that I have removed your second question from Technical 13's question page. Your question appears to be a rewording of the first question and is written in a pointed fashion. Please note that candidates are not required to answer any questions and may remove them at their own discretion. I would strongly encourage you to not re-insert your question, as this can be considered to be disruptive editing and may result in a block of your account to prevent further disruption. I would appreciate your cooperation so that such actions are not needed. Best, Mike V • Talk 02:14, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Mike V So we're now supressing the right to ask questions of the candidates? I invite you to undo your removal of my 3rd question. If T13 is not "strong" enough to answer the question and to fall behind bullshit dodging the quesiton, he shouldn't be fucking running. I will post all 3 attempts on the "Discuss the candidates" page as clearly you and T13 are colluding to supress a valid question (including it's rephrases). Furthermore I see that you are involved with AFC (one of T13's "shining stars") which makes you somewhat involved in "protecting him". I invite you to undo your removal of the question. If T13 doesn't answer my pointed comment then it clearly shows to writers of the guides how "capable" he is of handling the Grade-A drama that is incumbent on an Arbitrator. Hasteur (talk) 02:46, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

I believe that you are misrepresenting my concerns. You are not suppressed from asking questions, however, you are not permitted to ask them in a disruptive fashion. If Technical 13 chooses to not answer a question, that is his own choice. To quote the from the question subpage, "Candidates are advised to answer each of these questions completely but concisely. Candidates may refuse to answer any questions that they do not wish to, with the understanding, however, that not answering a question may be perceived negatively by the community." You have raised your concerns with your first question and at this point it is up to the members of the community to decide on how the situation should be considered. My interaction with Technical 13 is quite minimal and I must assert that your claims of me being an involved individual/colluding with Technical 13 are incorrect. I am not able to restore your revision at this time and I welcome an uninvolved administrator to review my actions. Mike V • Talk 03:42, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

@Mike V: So I'm not allowed to ask T13 a question about why he's pretending the question never existed? Fine. I've screamed Admin Abuse at the "Discuss the candidate" section. We'll see what the guide writers think. But you have won yourself a place on my blacklist for any future appointments you are going to lobby for. Hasteur (talk) 03:52, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi,

Firstly thank you for taking the time to review my article. It was declined because of Copyright infringement apparently, however I wrote the entire article myself with my own words from beginning to end, I didn't copy and paste ANY other material, so I am not sure what I can do to correct this.

I spent a lot of time trying to write the best possible and most informative article with as many references as possible. Please let me know what I can do to get it published.

Many thanks!! Musicmusiques (talk) 14:44, 25 November 2014 (UTC)
