Outing[edit]

I have removed your comment from Talk:Symi due to your use of a personal name in referring to another editor. Whether you are or are not correct about the identity of this individual, this is called "outing", and it is strictly forbidden on Wikipedia. Please see Wikipedia:Outing#Posting of personal information. You are welcome to make your comment again, but you must only refer to Wikipedia's contributors by names that they have chosen to use within the project. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:24, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I just wanted to note that your effort to remove a misplaced comment also deleted a valid comment at the bottom, here. I have restored the text. Perhaps you should consider moving the misplaced comment rather than deleting it. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:18, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind. I'm working it out. It wasn't placed in the middle of a comment, but the comment that preceded it was unsigned. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:22, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That was what I had meant, wher he had placed the comment made it look like it was part of the previous one. It still feels like it has been inserted into the discussion and disturbs the flow and would rather all his comments had appeared at the end.--Symiakos (talk) 14:35, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Threading conversations is not uncommon. The timestamp clarifies when the comment appeared, although it is a bit odd to reply to a comment that it is over a year old. Incidentally, the owner of the Symicat account has agreed to restrict it to his use only and has been unblocked. He or she has been advised that evidence of further sharing will result in a permanent block. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 14:37, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It may help if you could time & user stamp the few lines by "SymiLover" that followed El Greco's comment and preceded Domenica's one, as it appears that this is part of Domenica's post. As you say, it is a little odd to edit a comment more than a year old, and especially when no actual reference is made to what was in the thread, and just to put up a link to another site.--Symiakos (talk) 15:01, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. I'll track it down. You're right about the appearance of it being one; I had not noticed there were two. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 15:03, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:YachtAinSymi.jpg[edit]

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:YachtAinSymi.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-enwikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-enwikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ww2censor (talk) 18:30, 17 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Content noticeboard[edit]

You have a new message at WP:Content_noticeboard#Symi.2C_the_Greek_Island_of. Drmies (talk) 13:50, 19 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My talk page[edit]

I have responded to the latest notes at my talk page with some suggestions for both of you. I also wanted to point out to you, specifically, that terms like "libel" are best avoided, as explained in the policy Wikipedia:No legal threats, as they may mislead onlookers into believing that you intend to pursue legal action. It is Wikipedia's policy that if you indicate or suggest you intend to pursue legal action against another Wikipedian for actions that have taken place on Wikipedia, you may not continue editing here until the matter is resolved. The No legal threats policy I've linked suggests other ways to discuss misleading or wrong statements. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:24, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As Symiachos IS, he says, pursuing legal action against me (For the moment, while the comments that SymiCat denies making are part of a criminal investigation, I would like them to remain. Even though they are distressing, they are valuable evidence.--Symiakos (talk) 23:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Moonriddengirl#Personal_attack ), does this now mean that neither of us will be able to edit for the time being?Symicat (talk) 08:45, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Administrator's Noticeboard[edit]

I have raised the question of proper handling of the conflict between you and User:Symicat at the Administrator's noticeboard for incidents. Until it is archived, the listing can be found here. You are welcome to provide input there that may be helpful in resolving the matter, but please be sure to remain civil and to stay on topic. Conversation there should focus on the best means for Wikipedia to address this matter. Thank you. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 13:06, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Symiakos. Symicat has agreed to abstain from editing the Symi article: I am therefore willing to agree not to make any edits to the Symi page, or accept a ban, until the matter between Symiachos and myself is resolved elsewhere. If you are willing to make the same promise, I think the matter could be closed. Part of the deal should be that you will not comment on or interact with Symicat for the same period. EdJohnston (talk) 15:44, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's fine, Ed. I trust that similar conditions apply to SymiCat.--Symiakos (talk) 08:24, 28 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
