Deleted Image

[edit]

Hi, I recently uploaded an image (HZurich.jpg) twice in the past 6 weeks and both times it was categorized for speedy deletion. I have gotten permission to use the image and I forwarded the email I received from the image's owner to permissions-en@wikimedia.org as directed. Skier Dude (talk) categorized my image yesterday for speedy deletion and he recommended that I should contact an admin to verify the email and to have the image re-categorized. I've forwarded the email twice in the past two weeks awaiting re-categorization, but I have not heard nor seen anything about it. Can you look into it? Thanks.

Brisbane State High School

[edit]

Hi Daniel! Just curious about the removal of content from the article on Brisbane State High School and why you would consider the information unencyclopaedic. Also, in the section ref #2, it clearly states one of the teachers charged was from the school, but now I do see ref #1 says 'a' in front of it, but I believe (and could be gravely mistaken!) there is another reference somewhere that confirms it is this high school in fact. So I won't restore that information until I have properly referenced it. Cheers JRA_WestyQld2 Talk 01:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Questions

[edit]

What, cribbing from Hkelkar 2 and no mention of the "On notice" remedy? Shame, that one actually gave Brad pause (right before he used it). Hkelkar 2 and Durova had a lot in common, particularly the vexing question of private evidence and off-wiki actions. Interesting choices. Mackensen (talk) 23:52, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Arbcom-l

[edit]

For your understanding: I've never read much of the Ottava Rima case. I've been away, and I will not participate in deliberating the case; I was not actively browsing it. This section was only brought to my attention because of an email to arbcom-l, which pointed out how unhelpful the commentary was. ArbCom is already aware.

To prevent further conversation along those lines, I put it under a hat. Cool Hand Luke 00:04, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Surely jumping in and closing discussions when you haven't been actively following the case (and hence don't know the intricacies of it) is a technique fraught with danger, lest you act in a manner which is inconsistent with how the rest of the case has been managed to this point? But I digress. Daniel (talk) 00:22, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot imagine a case where dispute resolution would be aided by inviting debate about an incendiary comparison to a remote dispute involving a real named living person, who might not be pleased with the comparison himself. Don't do that again. Just don't. Thanks. Cool Hand Luke 00:30, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I hope this means that nothing "incendiary" will never be said about me in the future, as I am sure I will be similarly displeased. I will contact you should I ever need your assistance in archiving off any such discussions, because of course my real name is linked to this username prominently (more than can be said for most of the Arbitration Committee, a smidgen ironically). I trust I will have your support in ensuring that any similar "incendiary" remarks made towards me and others are archived and hidden, just as you did so here. Daniel (talk) 00:33, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If someone invites comparisons to you in a case about unrelated User:XYZ, it would be similarly inappropriate, yes. I would act upon that immediately. Cool Hand Luke 00:36, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Good to hear. I've filed it in the memory bank. Daniel (talk) 00:37, 25 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

need help finding the author of a Wiki page

[edit]

Hope I am doing this right.... Can I contact the author of a particular page? I think I found an omission in some statistics - but I do not want to assume my information is correct and make changes to the article. I would prefer the author have the opportunity to look at my information. The page is on Sugar, and I think the country of Guyana (South America) has been overlooked in the top 10 sugar production ranks. Guyana produced 273,317 tonnes of sugar in 2000, but I do not see them listed. My information comes from the Guyana Sugar Corporation's web page. (GuySuCo.com) I have tried to find information on the original contributor, but I am not having any luck, probably due to my lack of experience. I am far more used to being on the receiving end of information from Wikipedia and am a little surprised (and unsure) to find myself on the contributing end.

Season's greetings

[edit]
Thank you for being one of the people who has made 2009 such an interesting and enlightening year for me. It has certainly had its challenges, but also many highlights. I wish you peace and contentment in 2010, and a joyous holiday season to you and yours.


In honour of the season, I hope you will enjoy a little musical token. Your choice: traditional or cheeky.


Best, Risker (talk) 04:31, 25 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Participation at my RfA

[edit]
Thank you for taking the time to weigh in on my RfA. It was successful, in that the community's wish not to grant me the tools at this time was honored. I'm taking all the comments as constructive feedback and hope to become more valuable to the project as a result; I've also discovered several new areas in which to work. Because debating the merits of a candidate can be taxing on the heart and brain, I offer this kitten as a low-allergen, low-stress token of my appreciation. --otherlleft 14:18, 8 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
