[edit] Images

Hey. Thanks for the work you've done on Scrubs. When you upload images, you need to provide teh source on the image description page, along with a fair use rationale. I have done Image:My Choosiest Choice of All.jpg. Cheers. The JPStalk to me 23:39, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Possible copyvio

Hi, there. I have been recently deleting a chain of copyvio episode summaries about the Scrubs (TV series) when I came across My Screw Up. Most of the content I've found has been from www.tv.com or www.scrubs-tv.com, but I cannot find a source of the information on the article you created. Could you please confirm that you created the episode summary yourself? Or if not, could you explain what the source is? Thanks. Cowman109Talk 18:48, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Cowman109! So somebody's finally taking care of all the copyvios Thricecube inserted into the Scrubs episodes... well, I can tell you that I wrote the plot summary for "My Screw Up" myself, as I did for most of the episode articles I created. I will try to restore these versions now that the Thricecube copyvio stuff has been removed. Thanks for you clean-up!

Alright, thanks (and sorry for the late response :P). Cowman109Talk 03:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Information Removal

Hi there., i see that you've removed info about Scrat., as far as many people agree., Scrat almost died in Ice Age: The Meltdown and he is one of the popular characters in Ice Age series.

-- CS Shyam Sundar 10:23, 7 August 2006 (IST)
Well, in IMHO, Scrat "almost died" about a dozen times in the two movies, and I think the sentence "His character has proved enormously successful and many have credited him as the most popular character of the franchise." at the beginning of the article says everything we need to know about his popularity. We don't have to repeat this in the trivia section. -- Imladros 10:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] R.C. Young talk page

The talk page is not the place to debate the living-person's Wikipedia policy. I realize that you disagree with this policy, which is your right; in that case, please find the appropriate page to debate it and attempt to have it changed.

Also, you must assume good faith in all of your work on Wikipedia.

Finally, I am not Mr. Young. Attempting to unmask Wikipedia editors and/or falsely claim that editors are particular people is an extremely serious violation of Wikipedia policies.

Thus, you are now in violation of three separate, highly important, official Wikipedia policies. If you do not agree with these policies, then by all means do everything in your power to change them through the proper routes, rather than merely continuing to violate them. John Bryson 19:16, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

For first, I do absolutely not disagree with Wikipedia's living-persons policy. That policy is to protect living persons from unfair and wrong statements being made against them. This is just not what this case is about. It is about a person manipulting the talk page so that the sourced accusations made by Alabamaboy against Berenise are not shown any more.
And I can assure you that I do assume absolutely no good faith in the changes: Obviously Mr. Young or someone working for him or willing to do him favors has manipulated this article, and I still say that all readers have the right to know that, because this person has violated what Wikipedia is all about. (And don't even try to mess with me about that point, Alabamaboy's research is totally convincing!)
I also assume absolutely no good faith in your actions, "User:John Bryson" (whose only WP edits is the continuing removal of the accusations from the talk page). I am sure that you are the same person that is behind the changes we're talking about, and that person does show great interest in making Mr. Young look good on Wikipedia. So don't try to turn me into the one doing harm to this project! -- Imladros 20:09, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Dear "Imladros"--forgive me, but I am not a very accomplished Wikipedian. To whom do I report Robert Clark Young for Wikipedia violations? He has archived the talk page on his site so that none of the discussions are visible, re-edited, and deleted sources Under the name "Professor Ron Hill" (a name from our shared undergraduate days), he fully deleted information about me and my forthcoming book on my grandfather Johnny Indrisano's Wikipedia page. My book has already appeared in publication as my MFA thesis and contains important biographical information about my grandfather. I have since restored the information. Bob has a very personal grudge against me and I do not feel it is right that he is basically able to manipulate whatever article he wants on Wikipedia with the administration doing nothing about it. username: Mountainwriter, 13:25 a,m., March 11, 2007

[edit] Image swapping

On the page for Parn of Record of Lodoss War, you have swapped an existing image of Parn "pic-parn.jpg" with "parn-rolw.jpg." Is there any reason you have done this, as they are the exact same file? Because of your unnecessary edit, you have orphaned the original uploaded picture with the same picture that you have merely re-uploaded. -Emhilradim 11:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

As you can see in the edit history of Pic-parn.jpg I tried to change the original picture into the one it is today. But at that time the change simply didn't have any effect, the image kept being the old one even after a second edit. Couldn't make heads or tails of that so I (indeed) re-uploaded the image under a new name, Parn rolw.jpg, confident that an eager editor would sooner or later delete the orphaned one. As for the image, I just chose a version without sword hanging in the air to make it look a little less RPG-Sourcebook-like. Really no evil intentions here ;-) -- Imladros 14:02, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
