== Citation Needed ==
Regarding the ones on the Actor Stereotypes Section, those "citation needed"s were completely unnecessary. You can check the wikipedia pages or any plot summaries or *watch those movies* to verify. There were also some movie entries that I myself have entered, but subsequently removed that were not really twists. [[User:Object404|Object404]] ([[User talk:Object404|talk]]) 18:29, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Please see [[Wikipedia:Citing sources]]. Saying "Watch the movie" is not a valid citation. Additionally, there are dozens of entries on the page that aren't verified even if one was to simply "watch the movie". For instance, nowhere in the movie 300 is it actually made explicitly clear that "299 die". You would need a source for that.

Also, keep in mind the article title: "List of plot twists". In order to justify each item's inclusion in the list, you need to cite a source that actually identifies it as a notable plot twist. For instance, Jesus dying in the Bible is not a "plot twist"; it's common knowledge, it's not a surprise to anyone, and it's the whole point of the New Testament. On Wikipedia you aren't allowed to use [[Wikipedia:No original research|original research]], so if you're going to make a claim that something is a plot twist and someone else disagrees, then you need to provide evidence for your assertion.

Additionally, you still need to ready [[Wikipedia:Verifiability]], because your continuing comments make it clear that you don't really have a good grasp of what citations are all about. For an example of good citations, just look at the References section of today's featured article. You'll notice how every assertion that isn't common knowledge is backed up by a reference. That's the whole point of an [[WP:ENC|encyclopedia]]: it's a tertiary source, summarizing the accounts of a variety of secondary sources. --[[User:Cyde|<font color="#ff66ff">'''Cyde Weys'''</font>]] 19:15, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

== [[Bocal]] ==

Since you seem so good at getting pictures and what not, I was wondering if you could get a more suitable image for the [[Bocal]] page. I just thought it should have an image, and the only one I found already on wikimedia was the one you uploaded of a tromboon. I was thrilled that someone had taken the time to upload an image of such an obscure subject.

:I'd be glad to. Bug me if you don't see me do one in the next week or so. You also might find a crop from the top image on the basson article to be somewhat useful, the image is high enough resolution that a crop of just the bocal should look okay... but a really good bocal image will also offer some scale. Perhaps I'll do an image of a bassoon bocal in use, close up, lips, reed, bocal, over a non-distracting backround. Sound good? In any case... I'll do a bunch and you can take your pick. Any ideas will be helpful.--[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 00:57, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

::::It's not even clear that it is under copyright, I've talked to all the right people... and no one can manage to give me straight answers about it. In particular it's not clear that anyone who could be the rightful copyright owner (the author or their assignee) is claiming that it is copyrighted. There are some people who are claiming that it is copyright but all are not the author or the asignee by their own admission. Furthermore, the symbol is a typographical character in unicode, and under US law typographical shapes are uncopyrightable. ... though that puts in a weird situation where one might conclude that anyone can free anything by making it a character, which is obviously bogus but there is no case law here to guide us. Also, we have the problem that the only suggested reason for copyrighting it (to prevent misuse) is completely bogus: Nothing in copyright law would prevent me from buying a ISA sign in a hardware store and hanging it up over my non-accessible toilet, because in doing so I will not have needed any of the rights reserved to a copyright holder. ... and finally we have a pretty reasonable replacement for our uses, which I agree moots the issue. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 00:48, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

:I did, but I didn't have a chance to implement them yet.. the server the loader was on was broken for a bit. There are some outstanding issues, that I need to address with you. One problem is I don't think VLC can be the preferred player over Application/Ogg support because VLC plugin is browser crashing for some Linux users. :( I think it's only older versions, but crashing the browser is bad enough that I'm worried about risking it. All the impacted people also seemed to have Application/Ogg support, so moving it first seemed like an okay work around. :( I'm also working on a new version that eliminates the toolserver dependence, since that has been a major source of reliability problems. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 00:50, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
::The annoyance with application/ogg is that you cannot make ANY assumptions about controls :( I guess that's where a "select your preferred player" configpanel could come in handy. --[[User:TheDJ|TheDJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 02:33, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I know. :( A preference thing will be needed for sure. Question: is it helpful with VLC to know file metadata in advance? For example cortado will resize to anything you give it, and the aspect locking doesn't work... so you really must know the width and height. I've written a cgi which will extract all the Ogg and file metadata. My intention is to adjust the tool so that it's all driven from the local javascript, fetching the metadata from this new tool (unless it can't reach the tool, in which case it will fall back neatly). I need to know if there is anything fun I should be grabbing for VLC. Thanks. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 05:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

== 'Coord' change requests ==

Welcome back. As I wrote in April:

:I've [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Coord/doc&diff=120561620&oldid=120476356 added a caution to the coord documentation], so that, in future, it shouldn't be changed and upset the database parsers. Please will you kindly check the wording, and add a link to a suitable page about that work, where future "change requests" can be discussed? Thank you.

[[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]] 14:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Speaking of which, is there a more general place to talk about "database parsing"? I understand concerns like this, but it is important to avoid constraining editors too much. We don't want to get into a situation where editors have to wait for responses from "database parsers", as that could be unbearably slow, much like submitting bugzilla requests to Wikimedia developers can be. Equally, the "database parsers" will have to accept that sometimes there will be big changes in the way Wikipedia does something (most often improving things here), and that sometimes they will have to change the way they parse the data, rather than asking for the status quo to be maintained. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] 15:27, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

ie. "tools which parse the raw Wikipedia database dumps" - where can Wikipedia editors read about this and add input? Also, Greg, are you aware of [[Wikipedia talk:Persondata#Persondata on a subpage]]? There, I pointed out that [[Wikipedia:Metadata]] was underused, and could be expanded to cover these issues. It doesn't cover geographical co-ords, for example. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] 15:31, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

:Changing things is fine and good and needs to happen more often in more places, but changing them in ways which are actively hostile to users of the data is not. You speak of "database parsers" like they are all just third parties: but they [[User:Dschwen/WikiMiniAtlas|include us]] as well. In any case, I don't oppose changes, but they have to be made with consideration of users in mind, and we should use every change as an opportunity to make our data easier to use and more accurate. I think I was pretty clear before: I'm strongly opposed to any change to the geolocation templates which won't help us reduce the total number of templates. There is a lot of duplication and opportunity to make new templates which are supersets of the old, so there really is no excuse not to do so.[edit conflict]
:There isn't just one place where dump processing is discussed, thats like asking where article editing is discussed. :) People do all sorts of things with our data for all sorts of purposes, so there is no one place to discuss. As far as persondata goes, the biggest problem I see with it is that it is effectively invisible to both typical readers and editors. As such I would expect the reliability of the provided data to be fairly low. As far as putting it on a subpage, we should expect that it will make the reliability even worse, unless we start protecting that subpage (since the people watching the article won't be watching the subpage), worse, it would make it more difficult for automated tools to find it. If it is seperate from the article I'd rather see an additional associated namespace created, like a second talk namespace, which is autowatchlisted along with the articles. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 15:42, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

::"''There isn't just one place where dump processing is discussed''" - OK, I've used more general wording, accordingly. [[User:Pigsonthewing|Andy Mabbett]] 15:50, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

::Thanks for the link to [[User:Dschwen/WikiMiniAtlas]]. That is a great use of such data. It would be nice though if there were a list of such dump data processing applications so people became more aware of this sort of thing. If they wree more aware, they would be more likely to tread carefully. On the persondata level, there is basic biographical data about a person that is repeated in many different places. The birth and death dates are often in the article, an infobox, birth/death date categories, and a Persondata template. The name is in the article and in a Persondata template and in a DEFAULTSORT magic word and/or category piping sortkeys. There is a current effort to standardise the sortkeys using a bot. See [[Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/Polbot 3]] if anyone is interested. The latest discussion is at [[User:Carcharoth/Polbot3 trial run]] and its talk page.

I don't think, however, that marking those images as such is the proper approach, as their problems are of doubtful information, not appropriateness of fair use claim.

My primary application for that particular marker is keeping track of license-status tags which indicate "This has issues which prevent it from meeting our high standards for free content". Intersecting the set of images with tags marked by non-free media and the set of free license tags should result in a list of images with license problems, and tagging that tag should further that goal. ::shrugs:: It's not that important in this case, though, since that tag is not a stand-alone license tag. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 17:01, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

== Electronic door lock ==

Hi,
I noticed you added a video to the Electronic Door Lock page and personally believe that it doesn't really merit inclusion. Frankly I think it is unprofessional and uninformative, all it really boils down to is someone playing with a door handle. Do you have any video more suitable, i.e. with a soundtrack or more info? [[User:RaseaC|RaseaC]] 22:45, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
:It has a soundtrack, though there isn't much to hear, only the click of the lock and beeping as the code is entered. Were you looking for a voice over? Wikipedia exists in several hundred languages, if the video is without a voice over the same media can be used on all our projects, the moment a voice over is added the usability is decreased. There is a description on the image page for the video and the image page text will soon be displayed under the player for all videos.
:Could you please be a little more specific about how you think the video is lacking? The basic operation is demonstrated, the normally locked behavior of the keyed side and normally unlocked behavior of the unkeyed side, etc.. What more information are you expecting about a fairly simply device? Did you look at the image page? Without more information I'm at a loss. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 04:46, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
::Generally I think the video doesn't really add much to the article, just watching it it seems odd, I think mainly because of the lack of a soundtrack. Though you make a valid point about the various languages we cater for, because this is the English version it makes sense to include an english voice over. In itself I don't think the video explains the operation of the lock any more than the text description already included.[[User:RaseaC|RaseaC]] 23:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

:It really would benefit, I think, from a soundtrack. Would it be possible to cue different soundtracks to run over the video in the different language editions?--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] 23:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
::It would be trivial to just upload multiple copies of the video with different soundtracks, just like we sometimes do for images in multiple languages. The frequency of cracking pubescent voices in Spoken Wikipedia articles back when that was popular makes me dread the thought of videos with voice overdubs, but it would be easy enough to do for this. ;) Though given RaseaC's comment above I guess the video wouldn't be good enough even with it, so I probably won't ever bother fixing it. I'm in no special position to record a voice over, anyone else could do it... --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 04:09, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
:::I think even with a voice over the video wouldn't add much. My vote: remove it.[[User:RaseaC|RaseaC]] 18:02, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
::::I've placed the media up for deletion. [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Deletion_requests/Image:Electronic_lock_yl88_operation.ogg] --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 19:16, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
:::::From what has been written here (i.e. 2 to 1 the video needs a proper soundtrack), and because there is really no way (or reason in my opinion) for doing this, coupled with the fact that this discussion has all but stalled, can we agree that the video goes?

==WikiMedia Player problems==
Hi. The player is very good, but I just want to point out a couple problems (I'm "Using Java." on Mac OS X with Firefox, and this was based on watching a short movie): If you restart or reposition playback position (which also restarts), it re-downloads the media. And, when it loads for the first time, it doesn't show the playback-position-tracker. Finally, the speaker button to change volume doesn't work. I realize this is beta, and if you would like me to make any nicer (glass-like) buttons (like play, pause, and speaker) or any other graphics for the Player, just contact me on my talk page and I can upload SVGs. Keep up the good work! [[User:Althepal|Althepal]] 01:14, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
:Thank you for your feedback! The playback position bugs are because MediaWiki has no way to tell the player the length of the file before it is transferred. I asked one of the mediawiki devs for help with this months ago but they are too busy with other projects to work on video right now. I've cooked up a hack to get the length data but I haven't had a chance to make it part of the player yet. I will soon, and all the position selector issues should be gone. (I hope :) )
:The speaker button doesn't adjust the volume because it isn't a volume control, it's an indicator light that tells you that audio is enabled. This was first pointed out to me a week ago, and I agree that it is confusing. I have a new version of the player which simply removes it... but I don't want to put it live without testing, and testing across all supported configurations takes so much time that I don't want to do it until I have some other issues fixed.
:Right now I need to do some work to get the interface more uniform between multiple playback methods.
:The player won't improve unless people give me feedback like yours. Two weeks ago the 'volume button' comment would have been total news to me, so it really is important. Thank you. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 03:49, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

== WikiMedia Player ==

Hello,

your player is very useful and I find it nice, but I have a question: Playing [[Media:Anrufschranke Main-Weser-Bahn FFM-Berg.ogg|one of my videos]] (with Java), the player seems to crop it. So in this video, a part of the subtitles get lost. My video editing programm shows a field where subtitles probably can't be seen on a CRT television, but I didn't expect an ogg file to be shown there ;-)

Is this intended?

:It's a bug. It's known. I know how to fix it, I have to extract the size and pass it to the player. I've createdthe code to go extract the file metadata, but I have not had a chance to make the player use it yet. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll get the change done. If you are good with Javascript, you could help. Thanks for your message on the player, I really do need the feedback. Please don't hesitate to ask more questions in the future.

== WikiMiniAtlas ==

Hey Gregory, looks you are a celebrity now with you own David Shankbone portrait :-)

Anywho, I recently found out that the WikiMiniAtlas has been activated by default for every user on the Portugese and Italian Wikipedias. They curently generate 24000 mapviews/day (it:15000, pt:9000), which is pretty much no problem for the toolserver as far as I know, but shows that it has not gone unnoticed by the users.

Since you've been pushing forward the inclusion into commons' default profile I was wondering how you'd rate the chances of en.WP adopting it too? You know the code, its overhead is fairly low as long as the map isn't clicked. --[[User:Dschwen|Dschwen]] 08:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

:I'll try not to let my celebrity status go to my head. :)
:So, I think making the feature more public would be good. It is nearly free if no one clicks it and your lookup code is quit quick and efficient when people do.
:I have a small amount of concern that it may get used too much for the single backend server to handle if it's offered everywhere on Enwiki, however the current method of invocation is subtle enough that a complete overload isn't likely. We could try it and remove it if there are problems. Besides, the media player hasn't caused any problems and I would expect roughly similar load and use profiles. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 16:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

== Wikimediaplayer ==
Hi Greg, the Wikimediaplayer is really great. Perhaps you could look into a small thing: We have a lot of pronuciation files in commons, and when you click on them, you hear only the second half. I think it is because the Wikimediaplayer needs one or two seconds to load. Perhaps you could add a 1,5 second retardation to playback the file. Example: [[:Image:De-Dessau-Roßlau.ogg]]. Also, on some very short files the end appears to be cut off. Greetings, [[User:Longbow4u|Longbow4u]] 21:36, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

== Wikimediaplayer item descriptions/license ==
Thanks for your efforts with wiki media player. I have a tonne of video I've shot that I'd love to contribute to the commons/wikipedia. At the moment, I host it all on my own website (for example [http://www.ianandwendy.com/OtherTrips/UAE-Oman/UAE/ UAE Videos] in FLV format. I'm prepared to convert to OGG (despite the fact that OGG encoders for Windows users are very hard to use - I couldn't get VLC to encode to theora, and ffmpeg2theora is command line - Hello, we're in 2007, I try to avoid using the DOS prompt).

Anyways, I'd get over my OGG/Theora issues, but the "dealbreaker" for me right now is that for embedded video content using your java player, I have no way of providing more information for viewers - i.e. longer caption, license information, a link back to my website for more information/other videos/pictures.

FOr the moment, I'll continue fighting with page editors for including external links to my website for video content - but I know this is not the 'right' way to do this. Can you provide an estimate (ETA) on when
1) You will include the ability to include descriptions in the embedded video player
2) The player will be more formally adopted by wikipedia, so instead of a link to your page to get the player, it's a standardized wikipedia include.

Thanks again and please don't take my comments the wrong way - I really appreciate your efforts, I don't see anyone else doing this, and I think that media inclusion is the one remaining area that Encarta/Britannica smokes Wikipedia today.

== Request for feedback ==

Hi, I'm coming to you because I've seen you arguing against forcing people to write an individual fair use rationale when it's obvious that a particular use of an image is valid. If I'm not misinterpreting you, I think you feel that, for example, if a book cover is valid in an article about the book, the standard boilerplate tag for the book cover should suffice. I don't agree with you altogether, because I feel that insisting on a proper handwritten ''for every article an image is used in'' would help to prevent abuse, whereas having a boilerplate bookcover tag that automatically says it's fair use means that people can say, "Yeah, it's fair use. I'll put it into an article about this person, to illustrate the point that it was her favourite book when she was a child."

However, when you made the argument, I did wonder if I had on occasion been a bit too aggressive in deleting images from [[:Category:Images with no fair use rationale]]. For example, should a book cover which would qualify as valid fair use in an article about the book be deleted just because the uploader hasn't written a personalised fair use rationale? I don't know. For one thing, I feel that if someone isn't prepared to take the trouble to write a rationale for their upload, we shouldn't feel unduly guilty at deleting it, after giving the standard seven days &mdash; especially since images can be undeleted. And when I'm ploughing through a backlog of several hundred images awaiting deletion, I don't feel terribly compelled to stop and write a rationale myself, instead of trying to get through the next 199 untagged images. However, I could be wrong.

I'm here to ask your opinion on [[:Image:OneBahrainiDinar.jpg]]. I was doing a little deletion from the images for deletion category, and came across it. It seems to me that it could be a valid use of the image. I don't have the time or expertise to write a rationale. The person who uploaded it hasn't edited for over a month. And the article it's in ([[Bahraini dinar]]) has not been edited much recently. Just as a once off, instead of deleting, I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:OneBahrainiDinar.jpg&diff=155398152&oldid=153728293 removed the tags], and thought I'd ask for feedback for what I should do in general in cases like this. Removing the tags doesn't mean that a problematic image is going to be sneaked back in among the legitimate ones. If it needs to be deleted, I'll delete it myself tomorrow, without needing to replace it in a category for deletion. But I'd be interested in your opinion. Thanks.

== Percentage of biographies on Wikipedia ==

[http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2007-October/083309.html This] has to be my favourite mailing list thread ''ever'' ! :-) One minor point and some serious ones. The minor point: ''"If an article is *currently* a living person bio it *always was*."'' - unless, of course, the person was born after Wikipedia was created, and/or if the article was created before the person was born (both have happened). But that shouldn't affect those stats much. Now the serious points:
*(1) ''"I don't recall seeing any appeals to write bios to offset the rambot geostubs."'' - I think this is purely attributable to people liking to write about people.
*(2) ''"ideas that include the words "follow the category tree" are generally complete non-starters if you care about remotely sane results"'' - in fact, the category trees for birth and death years ([[:Category:Births by year]] and [[:Category:Deaths by year]]) are remarkably well-organised, and are the best way to generate lists of biographies and stats on biographies. Because of the "unknown birth/death year" categories, those categories pick up all people where the dates have been categorised. The other way, to use the talk page template {{tl|WPBiography}} has a few problems, as you noted, but that's a later point. I suspect there are still a fair number of biography articles that have neither birth/death year categories, {{tl|WPBiography}}, or [[:Category:Living people]]. Not large compared to the ones that are tagged, but still a fair number. Many are recently created articles that no-one has got around to cleaning up yet.
*(3) Robert Rohde came across the listas categories, which put together do give a sum of the articles with {{tl|WPBiography}}. He correctly got the sum of around 445,000 biography articles and the 22% figure. I think I came up with this 1 in 5 articles is a biography article stat a few months ago. Quite an amazing stat, I think.
*(4) You then (correctly) pointed out that this total is polluted by music group articles and album articles. ''Hopefully'', people still use the template parameter that identifies musicians. That populates [[:Category:Musicians work group articles]], which miht give you an idea of how badly polluted the list is. In general, the workgroups at [[:Category:Biography articles by work group]] will give you an idea of which types of articles are the culprit. I would hope, for example, that [[:Category:Sports and games work group articles]] only contains people, not teams, but I've never looked in detail.
*(5) ''"[WPBiography is] applied to talk pages which makes counting based on it more computationally expensive"'' - I would love to see a fully populated [[:Category:People]] (or whatever name is decided to be best), which would include all articles about people sorted correctly using DEFAULTSORT. This would extend what we already have at [[:Category:Living people]] over all biographical articles and would help disambiguation of people immensely. Part of the process here would involve using a clean WPBiography transclusion list to add this super-category to the articles (instead of the talk pages). Would you support a proposal like this, and would you have any advice on how to do it? (I think the first step would be to clean the list of what I call "group" articles and the redirects to albums). Part of the problem is that people tend to quail at tasks involving 450,000 articles (a fifth of Wikipedia). See [[WP:BOTREQ]] for a few current bot requests involving biographical articles.
I think that's enough for now. I think the general figure of 20% for biography articles is correct, but would love to confirm it somehow. Hope the above helps in some way. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] 00:39, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

== Propietary software ==

You wrote in an edit summary in removing {{t1|POV-section}}
:''It has gone months without explination for this tag on talk...'' [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Proprietary_software&diff=166082192&oldid=165671961]
I just added this tag because I came across the article and saw that the section was heavily biased. I don't see how time passing makes the tag any less worthwhile.

I'm reluctant to edit the section to remove the bias because I share its pro-free software bis. I might be able to make it sound better, but I think I wouldn't do a good job. But the section is biased, and someone needs to fix it. Until then the article should at least note its own slant. Would you please restore this tag?

Given the results of the living people query you did, I'd be curious if you could do a somewhat simpler query: All living people, as distributed by current age (since that's pretty tough to calculate, birth year would probably suffice).

== Purging or reloading - what's the difference? ==

Hi, I hope this isn't too dumb a question. I've just seen [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion&curid=13659986&diff=166818430&oldid=166767390 this] edit summary, and I'm wondering why purge would be needed on ''any'' page, if you can just reload. Why would a category page be different.? Thanks. [[User:ElinorD|ElinorD]] [[User talk:ElinorD|(talk)]] 20:16, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

:Normally, purging shouldn't be required anywhere. However, normal pages that contain templates with fancy parser functions dynamically change (such as ones with timers) will not reflect the new state until the page is edited, purged, or a template they transclude gets edited. This is an argument to avoid dynamic behavior in templates, since they won't work like you expect them to work.
:Category listings are dynamically generated every load for logged in users (like some special pages, watchlists, history, etc), so there is no need to purge them. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 20:45, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi G. I don't know if you can answer this, but if not, perhaps you can point me to someone who can. I'm wondering about the possible future capabilities of geonotices, specifically, being able to have a template make choices based upon the location of a user. This would make it possible to use different dialects for different regions. So for example a reference to a "fannypack" or "flashlight" in an article written by an American, would be displayed as a "bumpack" and "torch" for Australians. --[[WP:CI|&#x2611; ]]<b>[[User:Sam|Sam]]</b><font color="#CCCCFF">uelWantman</font> 15:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

This reminds me horribly of that other RfA that got messy when someone used checkuser stuff (though here the checkuser data was from a different project). The Tor one. Can't remember the name now. I'd suggest raising the issue at en, meta and Commons, and clarifying how cross-project checkuser information should be handled. I'm not entirely happy at what happened here either, and I think a lot of people will want the air cleared. I'd also suggest deferring to how Majorly wants to react to this, unless anyone wants to pursue this themselves. Personally, I think not resolving this now would be unfair to Majorly, Greg Maxwell, and those who participated at the RfA. There will always be doubt in some people's minds, and that does no-one any good. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] 14:15, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Personally I think this use of checkuser could characterised as abusive as it is abusing the community's trust.

[[User:Veesicle]] 14:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Factual observation: Note the user withdrew (at a point their renomination was looking very likely), and this appears to have been based solely upon the drama and upset of this one allegation. If the post was in fact ill-advised, then an RFA will have been derailed and a credible editor disheartened because of it. So the judgement that went into the decision how to interpret and handle any information, and inquiries by others whether it was interpreted fairly and in good faith, are genuine concerns.

My reading of that sequence is that Greg ''did'' contact Majorly privately, and only came public when he thought Majorly was threatening him (see the first and second diffs). It predicatably degenerated after that as sockpuppet accusations during RfAs generally do. Please do read the full thread for the context - it is oppose vote number 17. Cyde's oppose vote (number 20) also seems relevant as it seems to be referring to the same thing. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] 14:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Let's be clear here that gmaxwell ran the first checkuser to be ''helpful'' in order to clear Majorly of the accusation of editing the RFA template while logged out. The checkuser showed that Majorly had used that very IP recently on Commons. Majorly's response was (to paraphrase), "No that wasn't me. I never even use that IP range. Where do I complain about checkuser abuse." After a few minutes Majorly changed his tune to "Well, maybe it was me from my grandma's house but I don't remember." That's a far cry from ''ZOMG Checkuser Abuse!'' I don't know who ran what checks on which projects to determine that Majorly and Matthew were socks, but note that checking Admin candidate for sockpuppet use is quite a reasonable thing to do, even if it is not done routinely (as far as we know). [[User talk:Thatcher131|Thatcher131]] 15:33, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

:Thats right. In the past there had been some allegations of sockpuppetry by Majorly that I had, at least breifly, believed. I had since changed my mind but felt that I owed him some support when I saw he was being accused of logging out to revert war. So, I checked not Majorly on commons, but instead the IP that Majorly was insisting that he never used, fully expecting to go to the RFA and say "I'm a CU and did a quick check and it doesn't support that Majorly was that IP." ... but what I found was that Majorly WAS that IP. :( Rather than saying anything in public I went to Majorly and asked him to stop claiming that it wasn't him. His response was to threaten to report me for CU abuse if I told people about it. Had I checked my IRC logs first, I wouldn't have bothered to checkuser, Majorly frequently leaked his IP when logging into IRC, and that IP among many others was among them.
:After the threat, I felt that I was obligated to speak up in public about the connection between him and that IP edit. Shortly I went ahead and supported Majorly's RFA because I thought that the IP edit was an honest mistake.
:This whole mess resulted in additional investigation by myself and others throughout the day, which ultimately concluded in substantial evidence of the relationship between the Majorly and Matthew accounts. When I heard some people on IRC discussing speedy closing the RFA as a pass I thought it was important to make it known what I thought to be true. I regret the drama this has caused, but I expect it will be sorted out soon. --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] 16:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

== Deletion of List of people who have taken psychedelic drugs ==

Hi Gmaxwell,

you have recently removed the content from [[list of people who have taken psychedelic drugs]] and tagged it for deletion with the summary ''"BLP nightmare. Previously deleted, moved back in an abuse of a curtosy undelete and userfy"''. [[User talk:JzG|JzG]] then deleted the page under [[WP:CSD#G4|CSD G4]] (recreation of deleted material).

The page was not moved back ''"in an abuse of a curtosy undelete and userfy"''. The page was recreated and restored to pre-vandalism by me, not from the undeletion/userfication [[User:The wub|the wub]] made for [[User:Bhuston|Bill Huston]] (?). I have given a detailed explanation for the recreation on the article's talk page:
----
: This article has been speedy deleted (see [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of people who have taken psychedelic drugs|Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_people_who_have_taken_psychedelic_drugs]]) after the content has been completely replaced with a crippled version and the article has been moved from [[List of people who have taken psychedelic drugs]] to [[List of notable people who have taken psychedelic drugs]].

: The speedy deletion without adequate discussion was not justified, the arguments were either related to the crippled version and/or the changed title or do not justify the deletion of an article that merely needs additional, easy to find references. For many listed persons their article already elaborates on their psychedelic drug use.

: Therefore I have undeleted this article, see also [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Psychedelics, Dissociatives and Deliriants|Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Psychedelics,_Dissociatives_and_Deliriants]]. [[User:Cacycle|Cacycle]] 21:50, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
----
The recreation does not fall under [[WP:CSD#G4|CSD G4]] as the deletion discussion was about a substantially different article under a different name. Please see also the following related discussions: [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Psychedelics%2C Dissociatives and Deliriants#List of people who have taken psychedelic drugs]] and [[User talk:The wub#redux: List of notable people who have taken psychedelic drugs]].

I will therefore reinstate this article. Please do not delete it again without previous discussion and consensus, either on its talk page or in a formal and correct(!) AfD process.

== Issues of access rather copyright ==

I know you are better informed than I am about the variety of issues affecting free content. I was wondering if you have ever seen anything written from the free content perspective about "shrinkwrap licenses" (Chapter 12 under Title 17) in regards to "Terms of Service" which might restrict content that would not be restricted under the normal means of the Copyright Act? I came across this issue recently [https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12505562&postID=1128112719587268177 ''background''], but I can't believe someone in the free content arena hasn't already touched on this somewhere.

== Geonotice and importScriptURI ==

Hello again Gmaxwell,

Currently, the [[MediaWiki:Common.js/watchlist.js|code]] to import the geonotice script looks like this:
<pre style="overflow:scroll">
addOnloadHook((function (){document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/cgi-bin/geonotice.py"><\/script>')}));
</pre>

I got a [[User talk:Remember the dot#geonotice|comment]] on my talk page asking if we could use the built-in function importScriptURI to do this instead, thus simplifying the code and decreasing code duplication. The main difference is that importScriptURI adds scripts to the head of the page instead of the end of the body. Would this work for the geonotice script? —[[User:Remember the dot|Remember the dot]] <sup>([[User talk:Remember the dot|talk]])</sup> 01:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
:The other difference is that document.write should be avoided because it can cause problems like [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_common_phrases_in_various_languages&diff=prev&oldid=139363081 these]. --[[User:TheDJ|TheDJ]] ([[User talk:TheDJ|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/TheDJ|contribs]]) 08:54, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello Greg. Thanks for your recent comment in that thread. I agree that, unless the sighted version becomes the default for non-logged-in users, there is not much value in adopting the new system. A discussion may still be needed as to whether all articles should have flagged revisions. Having a limited trial (with only a few articles affected by flagged revisions) could still have some value. This might avoid the backlash observed at de.wiki. I would like to see 20,000 sighters on en.wiki, which might avoid the backlash.

I would be very happy if you or anybody could add more information there. The link to bittorrent is all right according to Wikipedia rules.

:::::It does appear that the movie is probably in the public domain. Thank you for the link to [[:commons:Commons:Licensing#Japan]].

I don't know who the hell you think you are, but don't you ever accuse me of harassment again. Retract your statement immediately. - [[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="#000080">auburn</font><font color="#CC5500">pilot</font>]] [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 02:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

:I make 7 edits and that equals harassment? Seriously, please be more careful in evaluating a situation before making wild accusations. I addressed two comments to Pilotguy on his talk page, and my other comments were responses to you and Beta. The only other comment I've directed at PG? On AN/I. Your accusations of harassment are completely unacceptable and unfounded. Again, I ask you to retract them immediately. - [[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="#000080">auburn</font><font color="#CC5500">pilot</font>]] [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 02:40, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

::I am truly sorry you believe I've defamed you. I do not know you and as such I am unable to judge your character. I'll repeat it again, for the record, I do not and have not believed you intended to cause any harm. However, I believed your repeated activity on Pilotguy's talk page was excessively hostile, that it was causing him undue distress, and that it would have caused me distress if it had been directed at me. You, and others, may perhaps perceive the situation differently. If it makes you feel less offended, please consider me to be a mistaken idiot.

== Blue skies ==

You said (somewhere): ''"We do not ask for sources for "The sky is blue"'' - actually, the sky is often red, orange, and yellow, pink and purple, and even with green flashes, when the sun is setting or rising. Sometimes the sky is black as well, if you include the night sky. I can prove this with images just as you can for a blue sky. :-) I had a great set of references somewhere that someone did about showing the sky is blue, along with quotes such as "flying into the wild blue yonder". In fact, there are references, metaphorical or otherwise, to skies of practically every colour. So the "sky is blue" being obvious is not a great example. [[User:Carcharoth|Carcharoth]] ([[User talk:Carcharoth|talk]]) 15:30, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
:Never the less, "The sky and water often appear blue." and an almost uncountable number of parallel statements occur in Wikipedia with neither a cite or a demand for one. I'll leave your impressively literalistic reply without further commentary. :) --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] ([[User talk:Gmaxwell#top|talk]]) 18:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

==Orphaned non-free media (Image:TV Theme - Pingu.ogg)==
[[Image:Ambox warning blue.svg|25px]] Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:TV Theme - Pingu.ogg]]'''. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a [[WP:FU|claim of fair use]]. However, it is currently [[Wikipedia:Orphan|orphaned]], meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. [[WP:BOLD|You may add it back]] if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see [[Wikipedia:Non-free content#Policy|our policy for non-free media]]).

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 "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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.

== WikiMedia Player problem ==

Hi, there seems to be a problem with the WikiMedia Player. For example, the video [http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/commonsJOrbisPlayer.php?path=BÜ_TSB_ZSP_Video.ogg here] can't be played (it also affects files without special german characters). The player says ''using java'' and under the video field ''failed opening <nowiki>http://tools.wikimedia.de:6870/wikipedia/commons</nowiki>...''. I'm wondering because I thought the Java-player at [[:Image:BÜ TSB ZSP Video.ogg]] is the same one, but there it works fine.

==Fair use rationale for Image:Agony_amiga_title_sample.ogg==
[[Image:Ambox warning pn.svg|70px|left]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to [[:Image:Agony_amiga_title_sample.ogg]]. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found [[WP:FURG|here]].

Please go to [[:Image:Agony_amiga_title_sample.ogg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure 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 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 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/{{PAGENAME}}|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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

'''WHAT'''
[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan|Wikis Take Manhattan]] is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and
[http://www.livablestreets.com/streetswiki/ StreetsWiki] articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.

'''LAST YEAR'S EVENT'''

*[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Spring 2008]] (a description of the results, and the uploading party)
*[[:Commons:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Gallery]] (our cool gallery)

'''WINNINGS?'''
Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator [[Jimmy Wales]] at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!

'''WHEN'''
The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

'''WHO'''
All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

'''REGISTER'''
The proper place to register your team is [https://freeculture.wufoo.com/forms/wikis-take-manhattan/ here]. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

'''WHERE'''
Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

*[http://www.livablestreets.com/projects/wikis_take_manhattan/project-home Wikis Take Manhattan page at The Open Planning Project]

:349 W. 12th St. #3

==Geonotice request==
There is a request for a New Zealand-wide notification of an Auckland meetup at [[Wikipedia:Geonotice#Wikipedia:Meetup/Auckland_4]]. Simon Lyall may already have emailed you about this. We had a significant number of people who responded to the geonotice for the last Auckland meetup, but also some known editors who didn't get the message because most New Zealand ISPs are not regionally based, so a nationwide notification would seem to make sense this time. Auckland has almost one-third of the national population.-<font face="cursive" color="#808080">[[User talk:gadfium|gadfium]]</font> 07:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration]] into the newly formed [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media]] has met with general support at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files]]. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested.
Conversation about redirecting those projects is located [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Images_and_Media#Redirect_proposal|here]]. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in.

== quiet chat away from the noise ==

G'day Greg - hope you're good :-) - I thought I'd swing by to see if there was any merit in a quiet chat away from the noise on the various noticeboard pages - In the whole DG broo ha ha, do you not perceive a tension between DG's rather agressive (needless and polarising to a degree, in my view) actions towards others (to the point where folk like Durova feel [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Arbitration_Committee/Audit_Subcommittee&diff=329302793&oldid=329302759 it's appropriate to remove links to his blog]) and the use of rather privileged and private lines of communication resulting in a sloppy use of the oversight tool (would it really be against policy for me to repost the comments? do you really think it's 'better' that we 'hide' them in this way?) - for me the test of equal and fair treatment (desirable) is 'would others be treated in this way?' - I don't think so, and that's a shame.

Further - I don't think David Gerard has acted with appropriate decorum in public fora in relation to his access to higher level permission, and to remove from the public record the fact that the en arbitration committee passed a motion in a similar vein is in danger of having a rather chilling effect, no? Aspects of this incident strike me as rather hypocritical. [[User:Privatemusings|Privatemusings]] ([[User talk:Privatemusings|talk]]) 01:01, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


:You are, no doubt unintentionally, repeating falsehoods here: David didn't act "in relation to his access to higher level permission" at all. I think I argued this pretty clearly on the drama-page. As far as his overall behaviour goes, I don't oppose people stating that it has been inappropriate, though I'm not sure I agree: I think Wikimedians randomly either hold people to standards far higher than would exist even in professional circles, or in other cases hold them to basically no standard at all. I guess that reasonable people can disagree about which of these modes is being applied.
:Perhaps it would be helpful for me to restate the events as I understand them, keeping in mind that I'm not fact-checking these claims as I make them, much of it is going on very rusty memory, some of it is outright hearsay and a little speculation, but it's what I believe to be true. Once you know what I believe to be true, perhaps we can communicate more effectively.
:In Feburary 2006 there was some shenanigans referred to as "Australian Politics Vandal" where a group of distinct people were involved in what appeared to be a coordinated PR/whitewashing campaign which also involved a great many sock accounts. The shenanigans particularly centred around an article about a vexatious public figure. I believe Ambi was the primary investigator in this case(?), but the investigation also involved several other high-profile Wikipedians, including David. Several accounts involved in apparent whitewashing and sockpuppetry were blocked. I believe some people (including David) were of the opinion that the edits were made by people in the employ of or at the direction of the aforementioned public figure, and while this was never confirmed by hard evidence, it appeared consistent with the behaviour as well as activities credited to him in other fora. I do not personally have the information required to assess the validity of these claims.
:Fast forward to current time. Someone on Twitter pointed to new shenanigans on the article about the public figure. David responded "mr [public figure] has some history on wikipedia. (i did the sockpuppet investigation.)". This is the entirety of the Twitter interaction.
:The subject discovered that tweet and emailed David with a 'better watch your back' kind of threat. David posted the entire email verbatim, adding only "[public figure] appears to be a waste of skin." as the subject, and a comment at the end: "p.s.: if you don't want your months-long-running Wikipedia shenanigans remembered, it helps not to have done them. Oops, too late.". This is all that David stated.
:At no point was any information obtained through the use of elevated rights disclosed in this exchange.
:The arbcom requested David engage them in dialog via his talk page. David responded that he'd be willing for the community to review his behaviour, but had no interest in participating what he perceived to be a closed-room political flogging. (Sorry, I'd link to it rather than fuddling it out from memory but it's oversighted).
:Rather than beginning a public discussion of his behaviour, as David requested, the arbcom chose to issue a completed and approved ruling as a fait accompli. The ruling stated as fact that David abused privileged checkuser information.
:As people became aware of this ruling, some expressed concern that its handling appeared to be highly irregular, and abuse of privileged access was not at all supported by the available facts. My initial impression was that if the claim was not true that it was defamatory, and that as David is a professional sysadmin it would likely be materially harmful to him. Discussion with other checkusers appeared to result in broad agreement that there was no abuse of checkuser in this case.
:In conversations that I am not privy to, I understand that others also raised this same concern. (Even prior to any complaint by David.) I understand that the decision was further backed up by causes of action not specifically stated in the arbcom finding. For example, David's satiric piece [http://notnews.today.com/2009/06/01/church-of-susan-boyle-banned-from-wikipedia/] on the Scientology decision (David believes the decision was executed poorly) published off-site was cited as an example of David bringing the project into disrepute and as justification for the removal of his rights.
:Some people formed the opinion that the claims of privileged information abuse were merely a pretext to bring action, when the real cause was some mixture of concerns about David's civility, irritation at his criticism of arbcom, and basically political reasons with David being aligned with the "old guard" rather than the current power base. I understand that Godwin joined in only after the argument had already begun, adding his support along with the others who were basically taking the position "this is a petty political game, revoke his rights if you wish—you have that authority—but don't state that he misused private data".
:Eventually the arbcom was convinced that the misuse allegation was ill-considered and agreed to remove it. By that point substantial, but apparently selective, fragments of the discussion were leaked to the The Register. (Not exactly a part of the press which we would expect to treat anyone, especially David, fairly).
:Considering the increasing attention, the revisions making the false claim were hidden until a better statement could be written. My own admittedly uncharitable view is that a proper statement cannot be produced quickly because the arbcom has become so highly politicized that all its members are very concerned about the end result reflecting badly on them. The statement which unjustly accused David was a cut and dried one; no one would expect someone who did something like that to retain rights. A more fair statement regarding the arbcom's disapproval of his decorum is going to make some people ask if the severity of the response was really justified by his actions, and if the remedy were not instead a retaliation for his criticisms. The Wikipedia community is, in my view, unlikely to find the honest explanation satisfying. "Because we think he's bad for the project" is an explanation the community will only tolerate when used against people with no political power. I could agree completely with a "less than ideal decorum" while vigourously opposing any action more than a "we'd really rather you play the bigger man more often". The difficulty in producing a politically safe statement is magnified enormously by consideration of the small risk that people will release contradicting emails.
:I always think it's better to not oversight things. I have a history of being a loud advocate of transparency (e.g. making the suppressed edits visible in the edit history) and minimal oversight use. I'll ask for the removed comments to all be restored once a final finding has issued. I think it's important that the site not preserve the ability to selectively link to misleading statements in the history, especially ones made by the apparent authorities... but there is no need to cloud the historical record unnecessarily (FWIW).


:As I stated, this is just what I think is so— Some I know to be true, but some is just speculation. Perhaps you can point out where your understanding and mine differ and we can come to an understanding (perhaps just an agreement to disagree). --[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] ([[User talk:Gmaxwell#top|talk]]) 02:57, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

::It seems to me that you are saying that David didn't act inappropriately for a checkuser, because his public statement that he knew from a sockpuppet investigation that a public figure (PF) had edited Wikipedia inappropriately was not completely true. You seem to say that he never gained any actual information on PF through checkuser access. I am guessing perhaps that the consensus position ran that checkuser was not abused in regard to PF since it wasn't even used on PF. Claiming that PF edited Wikipedia inappropriately with false confidence while pointing to privileged access is less than ideal behavior in checkuser. Less than permissible in my book. Granted I agree with your criticisms of the other side as well. They obviously had decided (or at least mostly) David was unsuitable for checkuser prior to this incident and waited for the best opportunity to botch it up. But I hate to see Arbom shooting their own foot off again being spun into David was right. Which I realize you haven't quite said yourself, but your PR towards this is coming close enough to make it worth mentioning. David was inappropriate (and foolish) to throw his privileged access around to lend a claim that was merely an educated guess more weight. Arbcom was inappropriate (and foolish) to rush in as they did rather to let their normal bureaucracy insulate both them and David from the decision to lower his access levels. I have never been happy with the way privileged access was winked at and nodded towards to substantiate gossip. I have never seen you as one to do that, even in times and place were this was certainly the exception more than rule. So I assume that you must feel similarly. Provoke everyone to crucify Arbcom for what mistakes it made if you like. But please don't encourage people to dismiss the message in this that mixing confidential access with gossip can not be tolerated. It has taken us so very long to get to the point where there is anyone who can preach that message without being snickered at a hypocrite. Please don't shoot that message down just because it wasn't articulated as well as it could been. I don't think you need me to lay out the whole picture of how such gossip drives opacity.--<i><font color="#9966FF">[[User:BirgitteSB|Birgitte]]</font><font color="#CC99CC" size="2">SB</font></i> 05:45, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

:::No. I do not hold the position that his statement was untrue. I don't know if it was or not, it doesn't seem implausible. I do believe that David thinks it is true, and based on his experience I would generally trust his judgement. Moreover, David merely stated that the PF was involved in funny business in the past. Based on the disclosures of the blocked puppet operators I think at a minimum 'involved' isn't too outrageous a claim even if it were true that the PF wasn't directing or participating in these actions.
:::I do say that David didn't gain information on PF through checkuser access, or at a minimum any information that he had access too was never disclosed in public (keep in mind, this was in 2006, I don't keep copies of CU obtained data, I doubt David still has any PI to disclose). David didn't make the claim to have performed checkuser or any make any claim about private information in this incident. "Sockpuppetry investigation" may have somehow become equal to private information for some folks here, but thats not what the words mean to me and to many other people. We can and frequently do reach reasonable and fairly confident conclusions about sock-puppetry in the absence of personally identifiable information. *Non-private information* is the essential element of a sockpuppetry investigation, we always consult the actual claims and behaviours regardless of what CU outputs.
:::On the other hand— I would agree with the position that David waved his *authority*, not really the authority of being a member of the wikimedia-bureaucracy as that is pretty much meaningless to the outside world, but the authority of being an old timer with experience in /this very matter/. The authority he used is of the same kind that every single expirenced editor has, and that no one can really take away.... plus a little of his PR profile based authority, which the arbcom can't remove. Was the use of that authority here an abuse? If he knew the claim was wrong I'd say it was. But it isn't like David has an interest in these persons separate from his belief related to past activities on Wikipedia. I don't think I could call it abusive. But it was certainly ill-advised, if for no other reason that the trouble which ultimately resulted. As a general principle it's probably in advised to pick any fight you can avoid. Then again, following that principle to it's logical conclusion would leave a lot of bad stuff uncorrected. I'd feel very different if I knew of any reason that David would be after this person which were unrelated to his (believed) behaviour on Wikipedia. I.e. if David had any way to personally profit by intentionally being unfair, dishonest, or otherwise capricious.
:::Was David's claim, based on public information, an unreasonable and unfair one to make? Should I have less trust in his judgement on such matters? I'm fairly confident that no one has done that particular investigation. I think all we know is that in 2006 no one was absolutely sure. Is it wrong to suggest that someone was up to funny business if you're not absolutely sure? If so there are a lot of people that we need to unblock.
:::In this matter I have been mostly concerned about the serious allegation of private-info abuse. If the arbcom and, by extension, the community wants to make a statement about the conduct here I wouldn't say much about it even if I were convinced that such a statement were wrong. I do find any of the points you raised about the proper use of authority to be objectionable, even though I'm not sure exactly how I think they should best be applied here.
:::Okay. Out of battery and this is tl;dr enough as is... Thank you for taking the time to read my message and your thoughtful response.--[[User:Gmaxwell|Gmaxwell]] ([[User talk:Gmaxwell#top|talk]]) 02:28, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/O RLY?

[[File:Redaktor Wikipedia 600px.png|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "<tt>reviewer<tt>" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Teal" face="Tahoma">'''HJ&nbsp;Mitchell'''</font>]] &#124; [[User talk:HJ Mitchell|<font color="Navy" face= "Times New Roman">Penny for your thoughts? </font>]] 00:00, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

Yup, sorry - was using new 'pending revisions' process and didn't realize it would go through before having a chance to add a summary.

== Other Sites That Took Part in the Anti-SOPA Protest? ==

At least [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more&oldid=472521559 this version] of "Wikipedia:SOPA initiative/Learn more" claims:

:"The English Wikipedia joined thousands of other web sites in protesting SOPA and PIPA by blacking out its own content for 24 hours."

In the "Responses" section of "Wikipedia talk:SOPA initiative/Learn more", [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more&oldid=473125049 you have written]:

:"Learn more should mention or link to a list of other sites that blacked out. Someone reading this page alone would have no idea that thousands of other sites blacked out too."

Several days ago, I put some effort into trying to find out what kind of sites protested at the same time. The only concrete examples, which I found on a BBC news webpage, were Reddit and Boing Boing. While I do (based on my current limited knowledge of SOPA) support the blackout action the English-language wikipedia took, I would love to learn more about those "thousands of other web sites" that nobody seems to name anywhere. Could you perhaps link a list? Not necessarily a "complete" one -- listing something like 250 most notable sites would probably give a good enough overview. As it is now, without any background info, I think the "thousands of sites" claim sounds propagandistic, or may easily be interpreted that way.

I understand that you might not be able to fill my request. Whatever the case, thank you kindly for reading it. – [[User:Jippe|Jippe]] ([[User talk:Jippe|talk]]) 19:25, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to '''[[:File:Strom Thurmond 1948 Speech Clip.ogg]]'''. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under [[WP:NFCC|non-free content criteria]], but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to [[:File:Strom Thurmond 1948 Speech Clip.ogg|the file description page]], and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|non-free rationale]].

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "[[Special:Contributions/Gmaxwell|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 [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If the file is already gone, you can still make a [[Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion|request for undeletion]] and ask for a chance to fix the problem.<!-- Template:You can request undeletion --> If you have any questions, please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

Join us for a full Sunday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Center for Jewish History]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to Women in Jewish History.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required.

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

A training session on editing Wikipedia will be held at 12:30 pm. Experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand to assist throughout the day. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

Light refreshments will be provided.

Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Museum of Modern Art]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists.

The ''WikiArte'' (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.

Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio.

The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|Art+Feminism]].

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

Revision as of 07:52, 28 December 2016

I prefer to keep discussions unfragmented.
  • If I post on your talk page, I will notice any replies posted there.
  • Unless you request otherwise, I will reply here to comments made here.
  • I will usually post a brief note on your talk page to let you know that I have replied, unless your talk page instructs me otherwise.
  • If you write a reply to me here, I may decide to move your text back to your talk page in an effort to keep the thread in one place.
  • If you are just pointing out something written to me elsewhere, edit here.
  • Such pointers are useful if you've written to a comment I made many days ago.
  • I refactor my talk page, so
  • To see older messages please view the history.
