Heads up re RCC

Just as a heads up, Brandt is trawling the photos on commons for names of participants; you may want to blur the name tags before you upload any more — iridescent 22:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I dont know who "Brandt" is, (who is he?) but the way you mention is, I assume its a bad thing. I've had a talk with Cary Bass about not identifying people on commons - but in the case of RCC - I can't do much. With the number of pictures I'm uploading - I'm not bothering with any editing what so ever. I think everyone at RCC realizes that there name tags are readable on commons. Regardless, if I can sneak it in - I'll notify people that if they really don't want to be ID'd - they need to work with the pictures on commons (not that they can futz up the old versions). Thanks for the notice - always glad people are giving me a heads up. --ShakataGaNai ^Talk 23:04, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I can't really explain Daniel Brandt as linking to anything about him will come under WP:BADSITES — easiest thing to do is Google the name. Basically runs an "editor outing site" which (among other things) tries to post photos of names & addresses of editors & admins here. — iridescent 23:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Ok. I've got some info from #commons about the topic. I'll announce things here shortly and see what people think. We may end up deleting all the pictures from the category & restarting. Thanks for the heads up. Keep me apprised if anything changes. --ShakataGaNai ^Talk 23:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Also. I've been informed that there really isn't anyone here that "he" would be interested in. Most of the people aren't wikipedians, let alone en.wp admins. Either that or its nothing new. So I'm not going to worry about it. But again, I appreciate the heads up, and keep me up to date. --ShakataGaNai ^Talk 23:57, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
