Hi

So I got your message. What do you want to talk about? Oh BTW that pic has never been on myspace. ick.!Courtney Akins

I want to talk to you about the photo and about other things.

First, the photo. The reason why I gave out those examples (myspace, other) is that this can shore up your claim of "I took this," since it is true that many Wikipedians have their own photos on here. My other suggestion with the photo is to "crop" out your friend, so we can show just you in the photo. This is mainly for privacy for the other girl, which could have been a reason why your photo was deleted. I tagged the photo in a way it will not be deleted now, but I want to hear you out.

Second, is your contributions to Wikipedia. Personally, I think you are a good person and can help Wikipedia in many areas. But I just think what happened is that your first edits as an editor was caught by other editors who think they do not want the information in. Trust me, it sucks, but it happens and I move on. What I want to suggest to you is find out what can you do to help Wikipedia and I will show you the way. Just work with me and thinkgs will be fine. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 00:49, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok no problem, thanks for the heads up hon! :)Courtney Akins 02:35, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem; if you need anything, just let me know. I am here to help you. :)

Mangerno

Hey there, I suggest you take a look at Mangerno (talk · contribs)'s recent contributions. He's quite clearly a sockpuppet of Template:Vanda being used to evade his indef block. He's currently being incredibly disruptive, a block would be appreciated if you agree. -- pm_shef 01:37, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to look into it more before I do anything. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 01:38, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have not been disruptive, I'm simply disagreeing with you on talk pages and removing the sockpuppet accusations from users that were absolved by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser#Return_of_VaughanWatch Mangerno 01:40, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I said before, even if JonnyCanuck gets unblocked, the JonniCanuck account will not be, since it is a confusing username and can be confused with JonnyCanuck. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 01:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks for looking into it, posts like the above are typical of VW socks, either way, for a user with less than 20 edits, he's far too familiar with the Vaughancruft and VaughanWatch issues. -- pm_shef 01:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I blocked Mangerno. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 01:46, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merci. -- pm_shef 01:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you...

The Graphic Designer's Barnstar

For giving us, your fellow editors, nice little ribbons to put on our user pages instead of the big stars. Many thanks! - LA @ 06:57, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 07:02, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hehe :) I prefer your design because it is simpler... and it's easier to create new ribbons with them :) -- Grafikm ^(AutoGRAF) 09:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Flickr pic

Maybe it should be used to substitute the "Flag of Canada flying in the wind" pic in the article, since there are two similar pics? It's a good idea to scour Flickr for CC images. feydey 09:30, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I chose this photo too is that it shows the four type of flags flown in Canada in the correct order. I'll upload it tomrorow. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 13:21, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: RFC

Sorry for the belated reply; I was away.

You're of course welcome to keep looking for a confirmation of that pre-1973 claim. (I'd love to see one that wasn't invalidated by the Russian copyright law of 1993, Russia joining the Berne Convention in 1995, and the URAA becoming effective in the U.S. on January 1, 1996. After all, pre-1973 would be very good for us. But I think it's just not true, given the overwhelming evidence pointing the other way.)

Probably more productive would be to focus now on how exactly to replace it. I have proposed to just use "life of author + 70 years" as the rule. Within Russia, January 1, 1954 seems to be a useable cut-off date that might be used on the Russian Wikipedia; but outside, 70 years p.m.a is the best I can come up with. (See this attempt and the corresponding talk page; which I wrote on Fred Chessplayer's request.) ("70 years p.m.a." of course usually means "70 years since publication/creation" for anonymous works and works of corporate ownership.) If you could help figure out what to do with e.g. the poster Fred Chessplayer mentioned (e.g. find some special exception we could use to keep such works; based on verifiable sources), that'd be great.

Note that the template should be deprecated/corrected/replaced both here and at the commons because if it is only done here, images that cannot be kept will just be migrated to the commons.

BTW, the same people who so vehemently opposed any change to that tag (and who did so in a manner that reminds me very strongly of hooliganism) have not done anything to back up the pre-1973 claim, and are still operating as a gang to oppose even rather clear cases. See e.g. here. Some of them also seem to be rather emotionally attached to that tag (see e.g. "So far I personally feel like go from the wiki if the tag will go").

The professionals don't really seem to care; apparently none of the professional lawyers at the foundation's disposal (including Brad Patrick himself) is willing to investigate and/or take any action, as those people opposing a change (and apparently also quite a few others, in my reading of the RFC) call for.

All the best, Lupo 11:56, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem about the reply, at least you did. I am having some issues with finding the information myself, so I will try and see if I can talk to Russians that I know and figure this out. What I will personally do is that I will avoid using that template from now on, until we have better evidence, though I do admit that trying to research copyright law of foreign nations that don't exist anymore are a pain to do. I know that the website Marxist.org has printed up the copyright laws before of the USSR, but nothing mentioning the 1973 rule. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 13:24, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Flag of Egypt 1972.svg

I'm flattered that you took from commons:Image:Syria-flag-changes.svg , but unfortunately the golden hawk in that latter image was done by a very quick-and-dirty lo-res raster-to-vector conversion. It's basically adequate to its intended purpose in Image:Syria-flag-changes.svg , but when you magnify it in "Image:Flag of Egypt 1972.svg", it doesn't really hold up... AnonMoos 01:56, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'll fix it ASAP, but I have relatives over, so I have cannot pinpoint when. Thanks for the heads up User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:18, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gall Adelgid Deletions

Hi Zscout370, I have to say that i disagree with the removal of two images showing adelgid tree damage. Gall_Adelgid

These two images are produced by the canadian government, and yes, it is copyrighted. But the copyright belongs to the canadian government, therefore it can be used for public display when not for profit.

Moreover, these two particular images are excellent for the display of characteristics this article attempts to introduce. These images are unparalleled by other sources, which should give them more consideration. Consideration, especially because this topic is more obscure and the effect commonly mis-identified. Althought the photographer(s) cannot be directly credited, the watermark imbeded in the bottom left corner designates the copyright of the canadian government.

http://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Gall_Adelgid&action=history

for these reasons i have stated above, i would be inclined to return these images to the article until superior replacements can be found. After all, images are not as subjective as written descriptions of the specified physical phenomenae.

Cheers, Dan 06:35, 15 August 2006 (UTC) Dan 06:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dan, we had many images from the Canadian Government before. However, as you said, the images can be used for non-commercial/non-profit purposes. Well, those images have been "disallowed" on Wikipedia since May of 2005 by Jimbo Wales himself. So, since the images were non-commercial, we could not use them and have to be deleted on sight. I know you want to use the images, but because of rule changes beyond my control, I am not allowed to put them back in and I ask you not to upload the images again. What I can suggest is still link to the Government of Canada galleries at the bottom of the articles, but just not upload their photos onto Wikipedia. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Zach,

Why did Jimbo Whales "disallow" the canadian government images? It is because wikipedia is not a canadian entity or something like that?

Similar types of images from US government organisations are allowed though, right?

Dan 05:04, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Dan; it has nothing to do where they come from, it is about their "terms of use." Most US Government images are in the public domain while most of Canada's images are under Crown Copyright, which disallows commercial use. That decision is not targeted at the Canadian Government images only; many images under the non-commercial/non-profit requirements have been deleted or going to be deleted soon. It is not a bias against the Canadian Government at all. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 05:09, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Zack, Is this a loophole for internet material from BC gov?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crown_Copyright#In_Canada

The British Columbia Superior Courts notice reads:

The decisions of the Superior Courts are made available on the Internet for the purpose of public information and research. The material on the database/web site may be used without permission provided that the material is accurately reproduced and an acknowledgement of the source of the work is included. Copying of the materials, in whole or in part, for resale or other commercial purposes is strictly prohibited unless authorized by the Superior Courts.

That's what we get for having a foreign monarch. Legacy of lame; there is a monarchist league up here that goes to the press and whines whenever we don't kiss the queen's ass.

Dan 05:16, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Each website, and government, works different. The website where you got the pictures were under the non-commercial Crown copyright license, while stuff from the BC Government (in that case) are PD. But each government office can work differently, but I do not assume that the entire BC Government makes everything in the public domain.

Reason not to delete:

This band had inactive links from other wikipedia pages prior to its creation. Their was clearly a demmand for greater information about these artists prior to the creation of this page. Some of these requested links were in place long before this author had any affiliation with wikipedia

It is signed to a record label that is among the first to adhere to a new, unusual, and influential business model. (Collective Self Release Label) It is potentially an important new concept in

This page is currently in "stub" form, and will continue to be fleshed out in order to be a truly useful recourse.

This band, along with several other marked for speedy deletion are nationally distributed AND are known and (in most cases) influential within their respective underground music scenes.

Please allow this, and other appropriate new pages to be fleshed-out. I have no direct Commercial interest in any of the earmarked band or artist pages. Although this Author is closely related to those involved in this creative new bussiness model and underground phenomenon, I am not directly affiliated with any of the bands marked for deletions.

I appologize for MY deletion of the "speedy deletion" tag. It's still my first day on Wikipedia, and I didn't know that it was considered vandalism. I assumed the posting of such a tag was some innocent mistake on the poster's part, and I deleted it myself.

Please remove this tag, so that this page may be further fleshed out and go on to become a valuable resource to those interested in new and important music, as well as economic shifts and innovations whithin the music business.

Thanks.

Don't take it personally; but even if bands have interviews with local magazines or myspaces, they still get deleted. Sorry. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 21:36, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ahleuchatistas

It appears that you authorized the deletion of a band that has had a Wiki entry for some time.

In your haste to delete a few new entries concerning related bands, you personally managed to delete a band that has been considered relevant enough to remain on Wikipedia for sometime.

I was not the original creator of this entry. I only updated a link. I corrected the formatting for the Friendly Bears link on this page, as it was not linked with proper syntax. I regret that this drew your ire enough to see it fit to delete a page that has already proven its worth on this site.

Please rectify this situation, and consider what you are removing a little longer before you hit that delete button.

Fossiltooth 23:05, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit to that article did not draw my attention over to it; it was in a backlog of articles that should have been deleted using the "speedy deletion" criteria. I was just cleaning out the category. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 23:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Suppression of Purple Rain pix

You're were very quick to remove a picture of a front cover of a defunct magazine, carrying the picture of an event that has been suppressed by the South African government and people like yourself, no doubt? Why don't you try moving stuff to the talk page before deleting? You could at least be considerate of those operating without ADSL in Internet Cafe's in the third world!Ethnopunk 09:41, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Wikipedia:Fair use#Acceptable uses#Images policy on images especially cover art.Ethnopunk 09:48, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The images were not tagged with fair use, but were tagged with a license that forbade commercial use or were for Wikipedia only. Those images have been disallowed by Jimbo since May of 2005 and told to delete on sight if new ones appear after the date of May 15th, 2005. Whoever uploaded the pictures used one of the above tags, making it eligable for speedy deletion. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:07, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Islamic Wikiproject Award

Would you be so kind as to go to the discussion about the Islamic Wikiproject Award? This has been a proposal that has lingered for donkey's yonks. I think the image is acceptable as a WP:PUA, but don't think the image is in line with most of the images at Wikipedia:Wikiproject awards. The design is not well supported, and right before I was going to archive the debate for lack of support, someone else moved it to the Wikiproject awards page.

The current discussion is going on here: Wikipedia:Barnstar_and_award_proposals/New_Proposals#Another_image. Your input is appreciated. --evrik 10:47, 18 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:PD-USSR

Any advances? Some people seem to think the debate were over... the template's claim is still completely unsourced. What's your take on this? Lupo 08:41, 22 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I could not find anything other than student papers or law opinions that were already stated. I think that we should still go with what has been confirmed so far by law, make that into a template like {{PD-USSR-confirmed}} and tag known images with it, so we can see what scope we are under. I know I probably uploaded pictures using that above license that should be tossed, so if you think they are not PD-USSR, just go ahead and let me know what needs to be tossed.

Ok so you piqued my interest . . . What are these "problems concerning young users" you all have been having?Courtney Akins 03:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some administrators and other users have a problem with young users in general for reasons out of either fear or safety. Given how a good portion of admins have children or younger brothers or sisters, they probably have a higher awareness than I do (as a single, male, Wikipedian with no children running around). Some have been concerned about the actions the young users are doing, such as hooking-up with older people or talking about sexual subjects. Given how we cannot verify a user's age, we could be watching a crime in progress. This second concern bothers me the most, since this is the same kind of issues that got MySpace into a lot of trouble and caused a complete overhaul of that website. Here, given how much attention we got in the last year, could cause similar issues and perhaps more overhauls to WP. While I would not mind answering questions to the police if this does happen, but just the thought of doing that not only worries me, but I am worried about how WP will look after it. Plus, on a personal note, I am known at my college for being the Wikipedia-admin, and I feel kinda ashamed when I see people "Hey, look at what is going on at Lolicon!" or "Watch out for them pedos!" I got that a lot when I was in the Scouts, and I do not want this merry-go-round again. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 03:23, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Theta Beta Potata PUNK HOUSE Deletion Review

Theta Beta Potata

This article was first started by me and was deleted back in May '06. I was reading the punk house article and saw that the link for the TBP article was no longer red so I clicked on it and there was an article back up, started by another user. I dont know who started it because, it was deleted soon after I saw it. The decision made in the "Article for Deletion" debate should be reconsidered. The article is about a punk house not a fratenal organization. It seems that the debate, run by User:ChrisB and results were reported by User:Mailer Diablo. I will post this on their talk pages. This is the first time I have requested a deletion review so please let me know what else I need to do. If there is anything. I am on wikipedia frequently and I want to learn. Thanks.

Re: User:! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! LOL SNRUBBED FOO' - Query

Hi Zscout370. I wonder if you could help me? Sometime back on wikipedia, I am not sure if you remember or not, we had the Slobodan Milosevic vandal... the pattern of how that vandal used to vandalise a page is extremely similar to the way User.!!!!! (etc, and the rest of it) set up his talk page. The picture of Hitler, interspersed with obscene messages, and a picture of genitalia. The caption on the hitler pic was done the same way as the caption on the image of Slobodan, and the page was laid out in a similar manner. Is there anyway to check that a user / account may be a sockpuppet of another previous user?

I am sure the possibility exists that this one may have come back to exact his revenge on WP. The Slobodan Milosevic vandal was banned from Wikipedia and Simple.Wikipedia back around the time Slobodan Milosevic died. I will get a date for you, but could this theory be checked by an admin / sysop or someone with checkuser, please? Thor Malmjursson 11:21, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I would not worry about it, honestly, since Slobodan died months ago, and IIRC, Checkuser evidence that old might not work. User:Zscout370 ^{(Return Fire)} 18:42, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Png question

Hi Zscout370, I saw that you created a number of files in png format, and wanted to ask your help to create a few more. The task is to generate two png files portraying the # of students in Ukraine studying Ukrainian, Russian and a slate of other languages. I have the exact numbers and percentages with verifiable/authoritative sources. My problem is lack of expertise in the png area. If you have the time and are willing, it would be great if you could help with this. Here is an example of a png file that will give you an idea of what I have in mind: Image:English dialects1997.png

To name a couple, the png images would be of great benefit on Ukrainian language and Ukrainization articles.--Riurik 00:54, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You know best. Thanks for the quick response. Here is the data:

Table 1: Would show percentages or numbers of students studying in Ukrainian, Russian, and Other languages. Due to "other" category being less than 1%, a second table with a language breakdown for "other" would have to be made.

Ukrainian 4,500,000 (Ukrainian 67.55%) Russian 2,100,000 (Russian 31.52%) Others 60,900 (Others .92%)

Table 2: Would show percentages or numbers (probably #?) for Romanian 27,000; Hungarian 20,000; Moldovan 6,500; Crimean-Tatar 6,000; and Polish 1,400

The Total # of students is 6,660,900 (UA/RU/Rom/Hun/Mol/CrTatar/Pol)

My comments on Courtney's page are as follows:

You narrowly escaped an indef block. You have a chance to make sound edits to show your good faith. Instead you choose to participate in the most sensitive area currently on wiki, where there has been a lot of upset.[1][2] Your comments can only serve to inflame the wound. This is an extremely bad move on your part. If you go near that debate again, wherever it's taking place, I will block you. I will let Lar deal with anything else. If you want to take proper advantage of the community's good faith, you have the opportunity to make sensible contributions to edits. If you feel people are ganging up on you,[3] it's because you're annoying people, as soon as you get the chance. It's your choice.
