File:Fukushima I by Digital Globe 2 cropped.jpg

Are you sure that File:Fukushima I by Digital Globe 2 cropped.jpg qualifies as CC and is allowed on Commons? The flicker page says "no derivative works" (the "=" sign underneath the photo, where it says "some rights reserved"), yours is obviously a derivative work. It would seem to me that it would need to be uploaded to Wikipedia under a Fair-use Rationale (FUR). 65.95.13.139 (talk) 00:40, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

I believe there's been an OTRS ticket on this, so I'd trust HJ on it. StrPby (talk) 01:35, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
The Commons page shows no OTRS box... something wrong with that if there's an OTRS ticket. 65.95.13.139 (talk) 02:21, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

semiprotection

HI, thanks for semiprotection of List of data recovery software . The same anon edit warrior is onto IsoBuster as well. I strongly suspect that it is a competitor and tries to delete others. He already managed to cause speedy deletion of CDRoller after several attempts to tag it (I don't care much about it, although I could have salvaged the article); but I hate to see how wikipedia is gamed. Can you semiprotect IsoBuster as well? Muslim lo Juheu (talk) 00:46, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

I see you protected Ermenikend

Hi HJ, apologies for bothering you directly instead of going the usual route.

As you have previously protected Ermenikend, could you please do so again? The situation has yet to improve significantly, and while it's not my place to suggest, I think a long-term (six months / year / indefinite) protection from I.P.s may be in order. For the record I've yet to edit the article (I won't take it personally if you check my I.P. against those that have) and have absolutely no preference in which version is used.

Oh, and no need for a talkback note :) Regards, A F K When Needed 17:56, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Tsitsernavank Monastery

Hi,

Regarding Tsitsernavank Monastery. As you can see there are already suggestions been posted in the discussion page for edit-warring in this article. Can you please take some measures (so that edit-warring will not begin again), I think it is not good to bother you every time for this article. Regards, --Verman1 (talk) 03:13, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

ANI

Hello, bored IP here. In reading ANI, I don't know if you saw this notification that there was an ANI discussion about you. It seemed odd you didn't clear it up at ANI, but maybe I'm out of line and you did take care of it elsewhere. If that's the case, kindly undo my edit to your talk page. FYI. --64.85.215.156 (talk) 16:28, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

I didn't respond at ANI because I was busy and I try to avoid that board if I can help it. It looks like it was a simple cock-up on my part. I was using a program that scans recent changes for vandalism and it looks like my assessment of your edit was mistaken. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 16:37, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
Oh I wasn't the IP you ran into, I was just a nosey bored IP who was reading ANI. Just wanted to make sure you knew why your ears were burning. But alas, I stuck my nose in your business and now I see you have things quite under control. No worries.... --64.85.215.156 (talk) 16:49, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Your refusal to revDelete

Hello. I am informing you of your refusal to revdelete a summary that was posted by user:Baseball Watcher. If ever again in the future you refuse to revdelete a comment like that, or any other edit that is clearly "grossly insulting material", I will report you to either Jimbo Wales or refer you to an investigation by the admin noticeboard or Arbcom. You know what I'm talking about. Thank you and yes I am a black editor. The offending material can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:HJ_Mitchell&offset=20110407145647&action=history MysticBluec43 (talk) 19:44, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Grow up dude. That word is used every day, it's a part of life. Besides, Wikipedia is not censored, except when it comes to gross personal attacks, or BLP violations.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 21:49, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Like I said, I'm not too concerned or else I would've reported it by now, but let me ask you something though, how would you like if I called you an offensive name? Would you like it if I just told "you to grow up"? Now you grow up and stop responding to posts that are of no concern to you.MysticBluec43 (talk) 23:14, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Why consider reporting it at all, then? Have you seen this article? And in response to your question, names don't bother me.   ArcAngel   (talk) ) 02:55, 12 April 2011 (UTC)
The use of revision deletion is strictly controlled by policy and that edit doesn't meet the deliberately very narrow criteria. The criterion is "grossly offensive, insulting or degrading", which means something so offensive that only admins should be able to see it and it specifically excludes simple vandalism, which is what the revision in question is.
As for reporting me, by all means, take it up with Jimbo, ArbCom, ANI or you can even call the police. They'll all tell you the same thing—that RevDel is performed or not performed at the discretion of the administrator. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 10:59, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

No I won't report that because frankly I think I'll be wasting my time with that. I'm doubtful anything would actually come of it, but I know damn well if I were to insult you by calling you a cunt, you would either revdelete it or ban my account. Cunt is no more or less offensive than the other word in question. I mean no harm in me posting this, I just wanted to show you in comparison a word of equal value. To ArcAngel, that article is not racist, the owner already said that.MysticBluec43 (talk) 14:56, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

You're right that I would block you. Probably permanently. But I wouldn't delete the revision because it wouldn't meet the criteria—it's not so disgusting that only admins should be able to see it. In general, it would have to be really disgusting libel for RevDel to be appropriate. By all means, ask any other admin. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 15:14, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

Alright sounds good, although the right thing to do in that situation is not to block me, it would be to warn me. Thank you for your response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MysticBluec43 (talk • contribs) 15:27, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

it's only for a week. I decided to put myself up for re-confimratiponconfirmation (see the banner on my main talk page). HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 17:49, 8 May 2011 (UTC)
Oppose Can't spell: "re-confimratipon" (Hmm, 100% edit summary usage, maybe change to tentative support.)
Yes I saw that. I looked at the RFA too. Seems you're likely to pass! (155/13/17) Has any one ever done this before.
- Well Do'h! SarekOfVulcan 2, but that was 3 hours after you.
Off topic, any word about TFOWR (talk · contribs)? 'Gone' 6 months+ now!

Oh, I have a gadget that means I can't save the page without an edit summary, which is why I resort to "r", "c", "ce", "+" and "-" (and a few others) when I'm in a rush or making small changes. Yeah, it's been done before. I got the idea from Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/LessHeard vanU 2. I can't believe that was nearly two years ago.

No :( not a peep from TFOWR since before Christmas. Damn shame. He was one of the best. :( HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:59, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Indeed he seemed a good bloke. I try not to think about him as it reminds me of other people I have lost or lost contact with. It's hard not knowing. I fear he may be more than 'retired'. He didn't seem the sort to just 'stop' suddenly, with no warning and no word at all. - 220.101 talk\Contribs 10:00, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Well he did say he was overhwlemed with issues in RL and it seems he took quite a lengthy break a while ago, so he could just be burned out. I sent him an email yesterday. I'll let you know if hear back. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 21:24, 9 May 2011 (UTC)
Thanks, I appreciate it! I just want to know TFOWR is still 'around'. Welcome back to adminining(?) too! BTW there is a back-log at Category:Pages with missing references list, have fun !

A page that you deleted due to no references, now has references

Hi there, I noticed you deleted the Mo Sabri page. I saw that it was created before due to someone writing the article without any references to reputable sources that explained Sabri's notability. However, I have written a new article and have linked it to newspaper articles and other reliable sources. Can you please undelete the article and allow me to insert my new one? My username is Troydamonsta. Here is the link to the article I have created: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Troydamonsta/Mo_Sabri

This is the first time I am posting on talk so I apologize if I have done so incorrectly. Please let me know if you can undelete the article. Thank you for your time sir.

Troydamonsta (talk) 05:11, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi, there's really nothing in the deelted history worth salvaging. I've unprotected the title, though, so you can move or copy your draft there. The draft appears sufficient to escape speedy deletion, but I'm not sure the subject meets our general notability guideline or the criteria for notability of people so another editor might well nominate it for a deletion discussion in the future. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:07, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

hey buddy

Hi HJ. How you been? It's DC. We haven't chatted in a while. I never got back to your email, but I decided to get banned because I knew I'd never make it to be an admin. And honestly, that's the only reason I joined this site. I still once in a while on my blackberry, but I don't plan on coming back with a new account. Feel free to drop my a line on my old talk page, but don't bother emailing me, since I scrambled that password.

New user account to replace blocked account (StellarWiki)

Hi Harry,

I work in the marketing department of Stellar, an architecture, engineering and construction firm based in Jacksonville, Florida. Therefore, I have a conflict of interest as defined by Wikipedia regarding Stellar-related content. I'm here to contribute factual and verifiable information regarding Stellar.

You recently blocked the StellarWiki account because it violated Wikipedia’s policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website. I have now educated myself on Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and am committed to abiding by them. As such I created this new user account following the appropriate guidelines.

I also wanted to let you know that going forward my edits will be restricted to talk pages, and I will not engage in editing directly any Stellar-related page. Instead, I will volunteer information on the talk pages, and ask for Wikipedians' help. As such, any additional suggestions you have are more than welcome.

If you want to contact me, please leave a message on my talk page, or e-mail me at <redacted>.

Abortion freeze: non-consensus version

Dear HJ: The abortion article lede has enjoyed consensus support since 2006 despite periodic discussion. The current version was accompliched by blatan violation of the sanctions on the article. The disruptive editor ignored the consensus version and made repeated reverts to a version that clearly had no consensus support. Your freezing of the article as it is has rewarded the disruptive behavior. I hope you will revert it to the version before the disruption. I invite you to read here. 67.233.18.28 (talk) 21:25, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Template:Round16-AFLformat

Hello. I note that you dealt with a request by Mtiges to semi protect the template in the title and declined it. In the explanation, you said that you didn't see any difference between the edit by Mtiges and the edit by me. There is a difference - a big one. It is best demonstrated in the template's use on the Foxtel Cup page. I have left the template at Mtiges edit at present to show you the error. You can see that both Williamstown and Port Adelaide are not aligned with East Perth and Claremont respectively and it looks ugly. Now if you were to go back to the template and revert to my edit, you'll see that I fixed the problem. I really don't think Mtiges knows what he's doing reverting my edit and I told him to look again, but I've got a feeling he'll ignore me so I thought I would ask you to have a look and maybe you'll have better luck showing him what's he's done wrong. 124.181.73.144 (talk) 12:44, 28 June 2011 (UTC)

Update - Mtiges refuses to listen, claiming Firefox shows something different to IE. I have reverted his error myself now. I can not believe that such a difference would be viewable. 124.181.73.144 (talk) 22:42, 30 June 2011 (UTC)
