Creating a page[edit]

Thanks for the kitten. I love kittens. In case you wonder, PrimeHunter refers to searching primes and not killing defenseless animals.

Click on User:Blythe Spirit, write anything in the edit box (it must not be empty) and click Save page. Articles and all other pages can be created in the same way. See Wikipedia:User pages for what you may have on your user page. PrimeHunter (talk) 09:57, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You did it right but it's easier to use the "New section" tab to start a new talk page section. This also makes an automatic edit summary. You don't write edit summaries yet but that's common for new users. I see you created your user page and got renamed at Commons. You can unify the accounts at Special:MergeAccount.

René Bazinet Photos[edit]

Please read the license terms that are attached to the photos. Specifically:

You are free:

to share – to copy, distribute and transmit the work
to remix – to adapt the work

And: "The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms." The only way to prevent this is to ask for the removal of your photos from Commons. Otherwise, anyone is free to do what the want with the photos, without your permission. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:38, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please read our no legal threats policy. Implying that you will take any kind of legal action will get you blocked from editing. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:45, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

July 2015[edit]

Your recent editing history at René Bazinet shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you get reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

I gave an explanation on your "talk" comment page. So, why do you continue to revert the photos, when they are mine and I understandably don't want them used to represent another's text? Blythe Spirit (talk) 13:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You gave up your rights to control how the photos are used. I've posted about your situation here. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 13:56, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's the problem I spoke of, Neil, as I was unaware that I gave up my rights to them when I added the images to Wikimedia and the administrator, "John of Reading," who notified me that the absence of published references - to verify my previous comprehensive profile - tried to help me have them removed, to no avail, about a year ago. Can you help me do so, please? Blythe Spirit (talk) 14:02, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you post to the page I linked to above. Here it is again. here --NeilN ^{talk to me} 14:08, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, Neil, thanks. I did so, right under your comment and sent the latest image poster a message, too. Is there any way you can delete the images from the Bazinet page, to put a sort of moratorium on the situation, in the meantime? Blythe Spirit (talk) 14:20, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No, sorry, I can't. I suggest you wait a couple days until the situation resolves itself, one way or the other. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 14:42, 26 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

September 2015[edit]

Give it a rest now please, Blythe Spirit, or as I warned at talk:René Bazinet I will start wielding my block hammer under WP:PA and WP:HARRASS. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 05:29, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As you wish, I am perfectly content to leave it as it now is, Kudpung. Thank you for your kind indulgence. Blythe Spirit (talk) 06:15, 6 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Now that the furor has died out I wish to clarify things, Kudpung, due to my chagrin over what I consider the warning you gave me and which I believe the member Parenchyma18 should have been given, instead. After I was done pleading my case, regarding what I felt the proper date-of-birth representation should be depicted as, directly below my illustrated photo - on the René Bazinet page, Parenchyma18 joined Wikipedia expressly to launch a personal indictment designed specifically to discredit me on René's “talk” page.

This is a fact, which I was understandably outraged by and I found your subsequent dismissive assessment of the overall circumstances, quite irresponsible. I believe if the situation were reversed and had happened to you you’d have felt the same way. Parenchyma18 - a person whom I had previously rejected on Facebook - is simply a sycophantic fan of his, who has visited René on a few occasions and who was just trying to get revenge. I can supply her name if you so desire. I conducted a photo shoot, with René - back in 2002, from which I chose three images that were uploaded to Wikimedia. They all, including the one that currently adorns his page, are proof of my having known him.

Although he and I no longer communicate, due to events that are irrelevant to this matter and are none of anyone’s concern, here, we do have mutual friends. These friends have attempted to persuade him to make his Facebook listed date-of-birth accessible to the public, so that his 'photo box' information can be amended according to Wiki published material criteria. All other issues are superfluous and I am vexed by the general outcry that occurred as a result of my merely standing up for myself, while endeavoring to expose an inappropriate, offensive assault on my character, by Parenchyma18. Her attack was entirely unwarranted served no constructive purpose and violated Wikipedia’s rules of conduct, as it was purely an act of malicious mischief meant to bait and malign me.

I hope this explanation is comprehensible to you and that you'll consider it carefully. I'd greatly appreciate an apology for the insult I was subjected to by being given a warning against harassment and personal attack(s), which was unjustified in view of all the above. Thank you once again for your kind indulgence... Blythe Spirit (talk) 23:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
