User talk:GeneralPatton/Archive3

Dear Wikipedia !

For my university dissertation I search all over the world for COLOR photos about Hungarian politicians bevor 1945, and I have found one of those here!!

It is: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/e1/U-boat_1_HitlerHortyPuttk.jpg ("Hitler and Regent Miklós Horthy of Hungary observing Kriegsmarine U-Boat maneuvers in 1938.")

I would know: - From WHERE is it ? (book, institut etc.)gu - Are there perhaps OTHER color photos too, where this photo can be found ?

Thank You: Tibor (Hungary) - tibi@lectio.jak.pkke.hu

Congratulations, Sir!

Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia | explains it all ® 05:08, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Congratulations. Cribcage 06:21, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Admin Candidacy

Hello, I saw that you raised some objections to my candidacy for admin. I just wanted to let you know that I attempted to discuss what I felt might have been your concern here. Thank you for your time, and I'd be happy to answer any further questions you may have. Páll 09:13, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

RFC pages on VfD

Should RFC pages be placed on VfD to be deleted? I'm considering removing Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Slrubenstein, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Jwrosenzweig and Wikipedia:Requests for comment/John Kenney from WP:VFD. Each of them was listed by CheeseDreams. Your comments on whether I should do this would be appreciated. - Ta bu shi da yu 03:43, 10 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Image tag

Hi! Thanks for uploading the following images:

• Image:EK 1class.png
• Image:EK 2class.png

I notice they currently don't have an image copyright tag. Could you add one to each to let us know its copyright status?

You can use {{gfdl}} if you wish to release your own work under the GNU Free Documentation License, {{PD-self}} if you wish to release your own work to the public domain, {{fairuse}} if you claim fair use of someone else's work, and so on. Click here for a list of the various tags.

If you don't know what any of this means, just let me know at my talk page where you got the image from, and I'll tag it for you. Thanks so much. Denni☯ 03:47, 2004 Dec 16 (UTC)

P.S. You can help tag other images at Wikipedia:Untagged_Images. Thanks again.

Charles Darwin

User:Fastfission and others have been on a crusade to delete the mention of Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln sharing a birthday. I have remained civil but others have been flaming. FastFission posted a biased comment on RfC which I have made neutral (I hope). Would you be interested in supporting my side? If so, please start at Talk:Charles_Darwin#Summary. Of course, that's my side, but the other side is strongly represented in the rest of the Talk page.Thanks Vincent 04:35, 19 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Hello GeneralPatton!

I wonder if you have any knowledge on the economy of the SFRY, if so im trying to setup a good article on the economy of SFRY, but since i was born late in that country, and dont live there now, i dont have much information.

Vojvodina

Sir!

I have noticed your involvement with the Kosovo article. I am not sure about your interest in the Vojvodina article, but I'm having a bit of a problem there. There is a user who's not discussing, but has reverted his own version three times on the last calendar day (27/12/2004). Could you advice me on how to handle this, or perhaps have a look at it yourself? Thanks! --Najroda 01:14, 28 Dec 2004 (UTC)

fac notice

On Dec 7 you left a fac notice on Talk:Special relativity but I can't find any corresponding entry on Wikipedia:Featured article candidates. Should the fac noticed be removed? 217.94.146.56 11:34, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the link (Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Special relativity). Having seen the discussion there (especially Cadwgan Gedrych) it's probably wise not to feature this article. (Not because of the article ... ) 217.94.146.56 16:16, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Please tag images of yours

Your uploaded images linked to at Shuttle Buran currently don't have any image copyright tags. Wikipedia needs its images tagged to be able to use them in the future. You may want to release it under the GFDL with {{GFDL}}, into the public domain with {{PD}}, or claim fair use with {{fairuse}}. See this for more. 119 19:47, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Image:Hadrian 01.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Hadrian 01.jpg. Please leave a note on that page about where you got the image because of copyright law. If you have any questions, just leave a message on my talk page. --Ellmist 14:49, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Image:Von_Weichs_colorportrait.jpg

How about indicating the source of this image? All images on Wikipedia should have a source. Just a license tag isn't sufficient. Especially not if you're claiming fair use. (Yes, I know, WWII image and so on... still, a source is needed!) Lupo 13:53, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I presume you have seen my note above, since you have edited since I posted it. Please do provide sources for the images you've uploaded. I just cannot understand why you seem to consistently ignore these requests (apparently I'm not the only one who's bugging you to do this...) You self-identify as a member of the Wikipedia:Forum for Encyclopedic Standards — don't they advocate to cite your sources? (I must admit that I haven't read the "encyclopedic standards" page.) Also, please note that international copyright law (the Berne Convention) requires proper attribution of sources when quoting. Using others' images is a form of quoting. Note also that sources are mandatory especially for fair use claims. So why not just follow the guidelines shown to you each time you upload an image? I must say I am at a loss as to how to get you to supply sources and have taken the liberty to ask others to comment on this at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Problematic image uploads.

Von Kleist

Hi. General Ewald von Kleist is sometimes given as Paul von Kleist (e.g. http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/GERkliest.htm) so it makes sense to host his page where I moved it to. Then Ewald von Kleist can host the disambiguation page. Ewald Heinrich von Kleist is still alive. He was prepared to make a sucide attack on Hitler by carrying live grenades and then leaping on the Fuehrer. An interesting fellow. Jooler 18:36, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi again. Regarding Ewald Georg von Kleist. I looked this guy up and his name is given in various forms so I decided to look at German Wikipedia and his article is at de:Ewald Jürgen Georg von Kleist, so I'm gonna go with this name. Jooler 23:01, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Hi. There was another one Ewald Christian von Kleist confusing matters. His dates are 1715-1759. Some sources give these dates for Ewald Georg von Kleist, but I think I have the correct dates for him now. Sure The Field Marshal at Paul Ewald von Kleist kind of makes sense, but don't you think dropping the Ludwig is a bit confusing. You are missing out one of his initials. If you do change it, please change the link on German Wikipedia. Jooler 23:52, 13 Jan 2005 (UTC)

If he were P.E.L. von Kleist, I wouldn't argue with you, but he is P.L.E. von Kleist, which you are proposing to turn into P.E. von Kleist. This is a bit like changing J.R.R Tolkien into R.R. Tolkien. Do you get my point? I think for the sake of clarity it's better to use the full name in this case, because it then avoids any ambiguity whatsoever. Actually some sources put the Ewald in brackets, so it may have been a nickname rather than what he was christened. Jooler 08:29, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Everyking

He's the subject of an RFAr currently. There's some dispute over the proposed decision, though; as a user who hasn't been involved in this dispute much, would you mind weighing in on the talk as to what punishment (if any) you feel is appropriate? In particular, there's been little discussion on the possibility of asking Everyking to reapply for adminship outside the circle of those who were deeply involved here; Reene, Mackensen and I all feel Everyking's conduct is unbecoming of an administrator, while naturally Everyking vehemently opposes us. It'd be a great help if you could share your opinion here. Thanks, and have a great day. Johnleemk | Talk 11:23, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

DU article

Is there a reason why the article:

• is so long
• quotes from the site at such length
• reads like an ad ?

Ollieplatt 01:35, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Suggested Reading re Ollieplatt

Hi, I see you've met Olliepratt. Thanks for the support.

I'm going to go read the article on Heinz Guderian (I already know who he was).

FYI:

Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration#Matters_currently_in_Arbitration

Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Libertas/Evidence

Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Libertas/Proposed_decision

Note that Ollieplatt has been deemed likely to be Libertas and about a dozen other user IDs by several Wikipedia developers who have presented technical evidence. The evidence page cites numerous examples of Ollieplatt engaging in disruptive editing and violations of wikipedia policies. The proposed decisions range up to a one year ban.

— Davenbelle 01:37, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

re:

I know he's also using User:64.170.195.250, here's one of his "contributions" [1]. Ollie's probably the man behind that IP because when I blocked it, I got e-mails from him asking me to unblock him. GeneralPatton 01:44, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I'm sure the arbitrators would be interested in this. Please considerposting this to the above evidence page. Thanks. — Davenbelle 01:49, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

p.s. Ollieplatt just got blocked over Democratic Underground. Thanks for your participation. Now I can go read the piece on Heinz Guderian. — Davenbelle 02:06, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)

3 revert rule and abuse by the moderators | possible right extremist abuse

Possibly the issues raised in the above link are interesting for you: in essence User:Toytoy is arguing that it is inapropriate and POV to call David Irving a holocaust denier on Bombing of Dresden in World War II, I am arguing that is is NPOV and cogent to that article, and we should be aware of the political context of relating holocaust denial and the bombing, a matter especially sensitive in view of Sunday's memorial. ---- Charles Stewart 13:00, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Energia images

Greetings. I was image tagging, when I came across Image:Energia 1986 01.jpg, Image:Energia pad 01.jpg, and Image:Energia 1986 02.jpg. I was unable to determine the copyright status. Could you add proper image copyright tags to them? Pictures without tags will eventually be deleted. Thanks, – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 03:01, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

Edit block for Hitler

Whyc has this article been blocked from editing by User:GeneralPatton with no explanation here. What is the problem? When will it be resolved? Please can we have a debate so this article can again be opened up. --Squiquifox 17:27, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC) Also why did you reedit this article after putting the restriction notice on it in breach of Wikipedia:Protected page policy? Also should you have put the restriction notice? given you have been involved in the editorial dispute, again against policy--Squiquifox 17:37, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

ok. i'll do comment on my changes in more detail from now on. I am rather new to editing in wikipedia, so excuse me if i don't know some stuff. ben 10:51, Feb 12, 2005 (UTC)

You definitely ought to take it easy, this is a particularly controversial article, so patience. GeneralPatton 14:26, 12 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Is this not involvement? I would like to see another administrator involved in this case? --Squiquifox 18:13, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

the problem is you did not tell us why you have restricted the article - leaving us to guess. Also editing the photo clearly had nothing to do with the dispute, but it looks as if you are saying others cannot edit but I can, even if this is not your intention. Please can you explain yourself at Talk:Adolf Hitler. Those of us not involved in the dispute but may want to edit in other ways at least have the right of an explanation. Also when do you intend to remove the restriction notice?--Squiquifox 19:01, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I have looked and do appreciate the problem. I am not disputing your motives for putting the restriction notice on the arrticle, just the way it was done without reference to other editors; i.e. by explaining what you did at Talk:Adolf Hitler. While I appreciate your responding to my messages, I would prefer to see something in the Talk page, including how long the restriction will last.--Squiquifox 20:54, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Block of Adolf Hitler

Hi GeneralPatton, I have no problems with any of your actions surrounding your protecting the article Adolf Hitler. However I think whenever an article is protected, it is best if an explanation is given on the talk page of that article. I have posted the following on Talk:Adolf Hitler:

Although I think the block was probably warranted, I would appreciate an explanation here as to what the situation is with regard to the block. Specifically the reasons for the block, and when and under what circumstances the block will be lifted. I think it is always helpful to explain these things on the talk page whenever a block occurs. Thanks. Paul August ☎ 17:27, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

Would you mind responding there? (In addition, you can, of course, if you like, also make a more personal response either here or on my talk page ;-) Thanks. Paul August ☎ 17:47, Feb 15, 2005 (UTC)

Gene Poole is back

I don't think the issues we had three to six months ago with Gene Poole will be a problem today, since the three revert rule now has teeth in it and the remove personal attacks policy has been formulated. In the old days, Gene Poole could not remove a personal attack directed against him without getting in to a revert war. These days, that is no longer the case, and, indeed, I removed a personal attack directed against him on the Talk:Empire of Atlantium/archive page. I think the new policies have greatly improved things, and I don't think the old wars will be around still. Samboy 20:48, 23 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Temporary blocking request

I work for a non-profit and am writing a high school curriculum on war crimes tribunals that includes an exercise regarding Otto Skorzeny's 150th Brigade. I'd love to use the black and white image you uploaded of Skorzeny, but can you tell me who owns the copyright, or at least where you got the image from?

Erwin Rommel

What is sneaky about the part ? Also what context do you attribute to the quotes ? Since fact of Rommel's presence in Poland as commander of Hitler's personal security isn't disputed nor are the quotes disputed why do you keep deleting them ? So far it looks like whitewashing Rommel. PS:I added the same topic in the talk since edit page doesn't list my previous post--Molobo 00:50, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

It seems(Looking at Guderian and Rommel edits of yours) that you are interested in hiding their misdeeds during the war and promoting a rather whitewashed view of those officers ? Correct me if I am wrong.--Molobo 09:50, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Also you didn't answer my questions.Since you don't argue that the quotes aren't true and Rommel's presence in Poland isn't disputed what is the reason for your deletation of them.The same with Guderian case of taking away property from Polish owners ?--Molobo 09:53, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi, Patton! I don't recommend engaging in an argument war with Molobo, since he is blinded by his nationalist views and never, ever cares abour reaching agreements on his POVs. He is currently on a self appointed anti-german crusade, deleting information from nearly every imaginable german topic and staining article with POVs. I already have alerted admins of this and actions will most likely be taken shortly. Meanwhile, allow me to thank you for your valuable contributions to the Erwin Rommel article, and I encourage you to remain vigilant against more possible edits by molobo in his usual POV, disrespectful of others' opinions and anti-german fashion. Let me know if I can be of assistance, and nice to meet you! -- Cadorna 11:00, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Two comments from Cadorna : http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=German_1st_Mountain_Division&action=history "(Removed extreme POV - you call Yad Vashem "trustworthy"??? Oh COME ON!!)" http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=12th_SS_Panzer_Division_Hitlerjugend&action=history "(Serious sources only, please - using www.jewishlibrary.org as a source on this matter is like quoting the KKK on the Black Power article)" Do you symphatise with his views ? --Molobo 16:47, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Greetings, GeneralPatton. Regarding your comment on my Talk Page, the answer is yes, gladly. I also take this chance to say that, being Jewish myself, I don't find Cadorna's comments insulting in any way, I tend to believe they are intended to provide examples of what can be considered unneutral sources on sensitive issues. Shauri 17:18, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

As I said, count me in. I'm kinda unexperienced at the arbitration procedures, tho, so I'd suggest that you instrument the steps; I'll be glad to provide my testimony whenever needed. Hugs, Shauri 19:40, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

NPOV and writing style

Good, but NPOV means Neutral Point Of View. Do you think that whitewashing Nazis now is neutral indeed ? Which of my edits do you consider POVish then ? --Lysy ^(talk) 15:42, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

I am not accusing you of bad will, just ask you to consider that where there are more than one, often contradictory, points of view, the neutral one should be taking all of them into account. To some extent at least. --Lysy ^(talk) 15:58, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

Why did you erase war crimes of Waffen SS Wiking?

And restored that it had no war crimes record ? They killed Jews in Lwow area(source was given) --Molobo 14:43, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

Hey Gen.Patton

Thanks for the heads-up with what has been going on. I've attempted to be reasonable and rebuff his claims (see User_talk:Molobo#.27.27Right_wing_propaganda.27.27, if he doesn't stop his frequent POV edits, then I think that a arbcom would be the only way to go.

Personal attacks

Hi, general. I would like to ask you for some advice, becaue I was insulted personally by millosh in the talk page about Bosnian language. User Millosh first came and deleted some parts from the article, then he called me a few times fascist and liar. I will quote him:

• You (said that you) are a fascist. I am sure that I know better dialectoloty of dialects which are spoken by Bosniaks, as well as phonology of Bosnian language then Bosniak Dado (he is an architect, I am a linguist). --millosh (talk (sr:)) 23:19, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

• And it is clear that you are a fascist... --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• You are 100% lier. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:58, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• Again, you are giving proofs that you are a fascist. And, please, tell me who is "Serb linguist" here? --millosh (talk (sr:)) 18:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

• So, you are saying that your fascistic behaviour is OK? --millosh (talk (sr:)) 20:08, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

So should I just ignore him, or there is a policy for these attacks. And this is not the first time, he is very rude, and he repates those insults all the time as a pressure, for implementing serb ideas in the articles. Thanks in advance.Emir Arven 20:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you very much, for your advice. I have also collected other insults from that user and other hard-core nationalists (for instance in Srebrenica massacre article), so I would like to inform Wikimedia, because that user is going to star local Wikimedia for Serbia, and it would be a shame for Wikimedia to have people who deny genocide proved by ICTY.Emir Arven 16:51, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

And what about fascistic behaviour on this Wikipedia?

Please, look at Talk:Bosnian language as well as reverts with a lot of bad faith, xenophobia, agression... Those were not personal attacs. If someone says that someone else "must not edit articles because (s)he belongs to some nation/ethicity/etc.", it is fascism. As well as if someone says something which is not truth, this person is lier. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 04:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

This is not true. I didn't say that. My comment was that I don't see how Serb linguist opinions are relevant in the article about Bosnian language, because there is a sentence which says: "Bosniak language" (which is not official name of the language, it is I repaet Bosnian-ISO-639) is prescribed name in Serbian language. How is this relevant. Please quote me when I "said" that "someone must not edit the articles because he belongs to some nationa".Emir Arven 16:45, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

You said: "I dont see, how anything is relevant regarding Serb comments about Bosnian language!Emir Arven 20:32, 1 October 2005 (UTC)" -- and this is the first personal attack on the page based on you xenophobia because: --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Lets go one by one. First of all you didn't prove your saying: "If someone says that someone else "must not edit articles because (s)he belongs to some nation/ethicity/etc." I never said smth like that. Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Second, you quoted me when I answerd to your comment (this is your comment): "The information "what SR. and HR nationalists think and like" is not relevant inside of the article about Bosnian language. More relevant story is said before (about what do think RS and Serbian authorities as well as what do think Serbian and Croatian linguists)." Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Then I said that I dont see how any opinion (made by either linguists or nationlists that are in the article as information) from Serbia is relevant, because Serb policy toward Bosnia, Bosniaks and Bosnian language (I showed you some statements) is hostile and it will be until Serbian governmet stops to give financial support to War Criminals and until Serbia arrests the biggest war criminals Ratko Mladic and Radovan Karadzic.Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

If you don't realize what is the difference between Serbian nationalists and Serbian linguists -- you have a real problem with xenophobia. This is a fascism. And if you continue with fascism, I would ask for permanent ban for you on all Wikipedias. Fascists are not welcome here. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 15:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

You want to scare me? As Ratko Mladić or Slobodan Milošević did? Go on!! Feal free!!! I would be gled!!!! And it is pathetic. I got all information that I needed. Your administrators in Sebian Wikipedia dont respect ICTY as Milosevic do, they are calling it, political etc. Serbian intellectuals including linguists say that ICTY is irrelevant, so how is their opinion relevant at all if they are ridiculing international institutions?! And Wikimedia will decide, not you, if I send all insults, denyings of Genocide in Srebrenica and simmilar vandalism!!! You are the one who insults, and you will be the one who will get permanet ban. Many Serbian/Serb intellectuals (including linguists) are nationalists, do you want me to quote them? And finaly read what fascism is: A bunch of Muslim males a.k.a. future terrorists, were killed in Yugoslavia in order to prevent further Muslim atrocities such as the World Trade Center attacks. Unfortunately this was the only large-scale massacre of Muslims commited before the United States stuck its nose in and helped defeat Serbia, thus permitting the further development of Muslim extremismwhich ultimately led to multiple terrorist attacks against the United States.Ironic, yes? [2] ---Emir Arven 18:41, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

And to answer to your saying:"If you don't realize what is the difference between Serbian nationalists and Serbian linguists -- you have a real problem with xenophobia." I dont care what is the difference between Serbian linguists/nationalists/or war criminals. I just dont see the importance to put their opinions abot the language that is not their mother tongue language, and I dont see the importance to put their "prescribed" name for the language that they dont speak and that I speak. Emir Arven 18:39, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

You only suppose that I am a Serb and I am not. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

The fact is that you are administrator in Serbian Wikipedia and your mother tongue language is Serbian, your name is a Serb name, and you can call yourself a Man of the Earth, if you feel so, but that doesnt change your insults, and is not rellevant for above discussion.Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, it is relevant for the discussion because this is one more personal attack from your side: You told that I have bad intentions against this article because I am a Serb and you don't know who I am. This is fascism. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 15:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

You showed your intentions when you came and deleted a whole paragraph, as vandals do. Everyone can see the date of you change.Emir Arven 18:08, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

You are saying that all Serb linguists are irrelevant (including me, because you think that I am a Serb) to talk about Bosnian language because of the position of one group of linguists. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Read above comments few more times, I have already explained.Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

This means that I should not (must not) write anything about Bosnian language here. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

And who says that? If I said, you are free to quote me? Go on! I am waiting...Emir Arven 17:53, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

First, should not != must not (make up your mind), Second I didnt mean that. You came on the article, and your first step was to remove a whole paragraph without explaining. I have already explained that I was talking about Serb opinions about Bosnian language in the article, not about Serb edits on the article. Serbs are not experts for Bosnian language, in the past they were denying existence of Bosnian language, Bosniaks (calling them Turks, "deuce of Asia" etc), now they "prescribed" different name for Bosnian language.Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

The whole paragraph which has clear nationalist intentions. But, not only them: you are giving a lot of attention to Croatian and Serbian nationalists with the second sentence. Also, that paragraph should be changed, still. "Post-war" should be defined in the time. But, your intention is to present that all Serbs and all Croats are against Bosniaks. And this is fascism, too. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 15:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

And what about first part of so called "controversy" section. What intention is that? For Bosniaks it is nationalistic intention that we had been seeing in the past 15 years, including burning mosques in Belgrade in 2004. Very xenophobic.Emir Arven 17:53, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

The second personal attack on the page was also yours: "The second of all is that Millosh's intention as a Serb, is to destroy this article as many Serbs before him tried.Emir Arven 20:24, 1 October 2005 (UTC)". You are saying again that I am a Serb and that I am trying to destroy this article (which is not truth) "because Millosh is a Serb". This is not only fascism, but this is also a personal attack according to my hypotetic nationality. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

As I said your first step was removing a whole paragraph and the rest of your comment is silly .Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

And, again, at this page, you wrote the same personal attack against my hypotetical nationality: You think that I am a Serb and you are saying that only because you think that I am a Serb I should not write inside of that article (i.e. Bosnian language). --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

I am not saying that. Quote me or read my comments more carefully! Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Also, you don't want to read what did I write (long time ago): I am not against your language name. One of the basic human rights of anyone is to call her/his language as (s)he wants. (This means that I am pro for naming your nation language as "Bosanski" in Serbian.) But, you are not a person who is relevant to make such decision (as well as I am not). As well as Bosnian and Serbian are two different languages and if Bosniaks decide, they can call Serbian as Jupiterian in their own language. --millosh (talk (sr:)) 17:17, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

My language is already standardized by IS0-639 as Bosnian (Bosanski), and political actions that come from Serbia are just their shame. And GeneralPaton, I am sorry that I used your talk page for this silly discussion.Emir Arven 18:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes, Bosnian in English, bosanski (with small letter at the beginning!) in Bosnian and bosnjacki in Croatian and Serbian standars. Or you are trying to say that you are working on standardization of Croatian and Serbian languages? (And, again, I told that I am against it.) --millosh (talk (sr:)) 15:23, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

That is the whole point of the story! How is it importan to put this in the article? That was my only question! Maybe we should put in Chinese, Japanese or in for instance some other Slavic languages. There are already interwiki links to other wikipedias, and anyone can see what is the transcription of Bosnian language in other languages.Emir Arven 17:53, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

Serb vandalism again

Hi, general. I just have to say that I cannot understand Serb nationalists, who devoted their life to spread lies, and propaganda. It is very slow process to go to "Request for arbitration" and there is another nationalist that should be warn to behave, Nikola Smolenski, who keeps deleting some parts of the article Republika Srpska, like this:

On October 4, 2005, the Special Serb Government Working Group of Republika Srpska reported that 25,083 people were involved in the massacre including 19,473 members of various Bosnian Serb armed forces that actively gave orders or directly took part in the massacre. They have identified 17,074 by name.[3]

Also he keeps renaming Bosnian language into Bosniak language, which is incorrect information, because there is just Bosnian language in ISO-639 standard, and in English. (This is a special Serb policy toward Bosnian language, some kind of denying Bosnian language spreading incorrect information.) Well, I didn't have other options since that nationalist is really, really aggressive and keeps reverting or deleting some parts from the article.Emir Arven 18:35, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Images for Deletion

Hi. Regarding images you have uploaded: Image:1010 1 800x500-CX1.jpg, Image:2010 3 small 800x500.jpg, Image:1101 small 800x500.jpg and Image:001 small 800x500.jpg.

I have nominated them for deletion, as they lack a source, are not used on any articles and are non-commercial only. Regards, // Fred-Chess 23:41, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Republika Srpska

General, if you have time could you please intervene at Republika Srpska article. There is some serious edit war taking place along with quite rediculous commentaries by certain individuals thriving on nationalism, vandalism and personal attacks. Thanks--Dado 22:13, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

I see that Dado contacted you, but I just want to warn you that he is the one who spreading nationalism. I explained this on the Republika Srpska talk page. Please read that if you want to deal with this issue. PANONIAN 01:45, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Halibutt

Since you have supported me during my RfA, I wonder if you could review and comment on the RfA for Halibutt, the first person I have nominated myself. There seem to be a heated debate and votes of experienced, unbiased editors would be appreciated. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus ^Talk 17:14, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. WikiThanks.

I would like to express my thanks to all the people who took part in my (failed) RfA voting. I was both surprised and delighted about the amount of support votes and all the kind words! I was also surprised by the amount of people who stated clearly that they do care, be it by voting in for or against my candidacy. That's what Wiki community is about and I'm really pleased to see that it works.
As my RfA voting failed with 71% support, I don't plan to reapply for adminship any more. However, I hope I might still be of some help to the community. Cheers! Halibutt 05:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:Jodl 01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Jodl 01.jpg. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use {{GFDL}} to release it under the GFDL. If you can claim fair use use {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or {{fairuse}}. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too.

Situation of administrator abuse

Hi, I'm in a potentially awkward position with an Administrator. I have read the Wiki pages on dispute resolution but I'm still not sure how to proceed.

The Admin ContiE has a personal grudge against me for reasons I do not fully understand. He has been this way since I began frequenting wikipedia.

I have done work improving the furvert article. He has basically gone on a crusade against any edit I make. He controls every furry category article and several others ruthlessly. He is an iron fist and bans anyone he edit wars with. I had uploaded pictures and he deleted them with no talking. He seems to believe I am every person he has had an edit war against. He is always using personal attacks, calling me troll without reason. I uploaded them again and he voted them for deleted, but to his surprise the person who runs the images, thank you Nv8200p, found they were acceptable once I tagged them properly. Just recently he removed both the images without himself discussing it in the talk page (unless he was the same person who discussed only one) with the edit here [4] Then ContiE assumed bad faith, added his constant insult of troll in the talk page. It appears on a completed different wiki, a comedy one in all things, somebody else stole my username and I believe this was Conti himself and uploaded them. ContiE showed it as his reason. While vandalism like his, I would revert and mention it, he would ban me permanently if I undid his edit. That is why I am asking admins for help. He holds a couple of accounts on wikipedia and I think they are administrators so I have to be careful who I tell about this. Arights 06:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Rommel France 1940.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Rommel France 1940.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Unspecified source for Image:Guderian Wenck color 002.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Guderian Wenck color 002.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, 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. 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 specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Wikipedia:Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 16:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Garion96 (talk) 16:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Image:Me262_bw_01.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Me262_bw_01.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Yonatan ^talk 07:32, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:Me_262a_color2.jpg as {{replaceable fair use}}. If you wish to dispute this assertion, please add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}} to the image description page and a comment explaining your reasoning to the the image talk page. Yonatan ^talk 07:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:GaleazzoCiano01.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:GaleazzoCiano01.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 10:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Non-free use disputed for Image:Mobius.jpg

This file may be deleted.

Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 00:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Dietrich in color 01.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Dietrich in color 01.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will 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. Skier Dude (talk 03:44, 18 September 2010 (UTC)
