15:27, 16 November 2012 Reaper Eternal (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Oli Ahmad under attack.jpg (F9: Media file copyright violation without fair use or credible claim of permission. http://news.priyo.com/politics/2011/11/24/al-men-attack-ldp-chief-oli-ah-43140.html)
Those pictures were taken by me with my own digital camera. I am the public relations officer of Dr. Oli Ahmad Bir Bikram, on whom the article is written and the pictures are of him. Copies of pictures taken by me are available with LDP (Liberal Democratic Party - Bangladesh) Office & can be accessed freely by any one interested. I have not reserved copyright of it. I'm guessing the author of the article you have sited probably got that picture from there or any other source who collected the copies. Since i took them pictures myself i am confused as to how i have infringed copyright by uploading them. please clarify & be so kind as to restore the upload.

Hey Reaper Eternal! I have a few questions. What do you think of my chances of being granted reviewer rights would be now ( contribs)? Also, do you go on IRC? If you do, what's your nick? Thanks! -- Plasma ( Talk) 22:22, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
Dear Sir your behavior is scandalous. Be little more polite and reasonable. Do you think you are a God? Just stay away from me OK? You impolite attitude can result contraction? You miss the point administrator has a duty. Stay from me away. You action is anyway too late and without ground. Be polite!-- Burham ( talk) 02:37, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Dear Sir, This time you REALY step out of reasonable attitude. Because you are acting so unbalanced I will not use word ASK. Just withdraw the block and will be OK. If not I promise you I will do all possible to BLOCK you. You know, an administrator can be block too, and only the two yours actions are enough to show you unreasonable aggressiveness. Nobody prevent you to act politely step by step and restrict a behavior of an editor. This is obvious that some people are too nervous and act emotionally - administrators are to teach them reasonable and peaceful behavior. However, you are acting in opposite to this mission. YOU JUST JUMP ON MY BACK; it cannot be accepted by any reasonable thinking person. Yours truly, BURHAM — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.16.241.130 ( talk) 22:25, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Vice President of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico should have been moved to Speaker pro tempore of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico but you accidentally moved it to Speaker of the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico.

Curious, why delete Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Shalom Yechiel because you're "Merging cases" without restoring it later? Did you simply forget to restore it, or do you think it best if the page remain deleted? I only learned this because of Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Chutznik, which was tagged for G8 speedy as a redirect to /Shalom Yechiel. Nyttend ( talk) 04:20, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

![]() Articles for creation is desperately short of reviewers! We are looking for urgent help, from experienced editors, in reviewing submissions in the pending submissions queue. Currently there are 2553 submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at our help desk.
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the
reviewing instructions and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{
AFC status}} or {{
AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.
Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated
reviewing script!

With reference to this, I considered doing the same, but decided to accept the decision of the first admin to get there, confident that within a short time of the block expiring the user would use up his rope and give more than enough justification for an indef.

Minor thing: when you revert someone else's AfD entry, as you did here, it would help the rest of us if you left an edit summary. Otherwise, some schmuck like me comes along, sees someone's input reverted, and then either reverts your revert automatically because there's no argument given for the revert, or has to spend the time figuring out what you already know. -- Nat Gertler ( talk) 20:38, 2 December 2012 (UTC)
I see you protected the article, and DGG contested a previous prod. However, while there are a lot of hits for the organization, they are all primarily stories from the same day about the same thing on different sites (bloggers ripping off Forbes' article, mostly), and nothing since. I'd AfD it, but there's so much socking involved that I'm sure the article would be recreated several times before we could salt it, although the idea of a protected redirect might not be a bad idea. Thoughts? MSJapan ( talk) 07:15, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Guild of Copy Editors
November 2012 backlog elimination drive wrap-up
Participation: Thanks to all who participated! Out of 38 people who signed up this drive, 33 copy-edited at least one article. Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. All the barnstars have now been distributed. Progress report: We achieved our primary goal of clearing November and December 2011 from the backlog. For the first time since the drives began, the backlog consists only of articles tagged in the current year. The total backlog at the end of the month was 2690 articles, down from 8323 when we started out over two years ago. We completed all 56 requests outstanding before November 2012 as well as eight of those made in November. Copy Edit of the Month: Voting is now over for the October 2012 competition, and prizes have been issued. The November 2012 contest is closed for submissions and open for voting. The December 2012 contest is now open for submissions. Everyone is welcome to submit entries and to vote. ![]() Coodinator election: The six-month term for our fourth tranche of Guild coordinators will expire at the end of December. Nominations are open for the fifth tranche of coordinators, who will serve from 1 January to 30 June 2013.

The unrelated stuff at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Bormalagurski is about raw sockpuppetry, and the allegation is mainly a violation of WP:MEAT. We know that the Serbian Youth League has members who live in various parts of Canada. I thought it would be clear enough, but I guess not. Can you please reassess the case with that in mind? -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 09:00, 3 December 2012 (UTC)
Reaper, I trust you see now how we have a problem. *sigh* -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:27, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
Permit me also to verify one more thing explicitly: did you see the timeline at the previous SPI discussion that I wrote with the timestamp "07:37, 24 August 2012 (UTC)"? There's other evidence in the old discussion that was closed on procedural grounds. With the evidence presented by PRODUCER in the last report, topped off by the "List of all of UrbanVillager's edits in article-space with context added by bobrayner", where bobrayner linked every single edit by the UrbanVillager account to Boris Malagurski i.e. User:Bormalagurski and his other clones, where is the disconnect? How does that not constitute arriving on Wikipedia solely to support one other editor, Bormalagurski? -- Joy [shallot] ( talk) 10:45, 4 December 2012 (UTC)

Hi, I'm writing in regards to your decision at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Rotsmasher/Archive. I was advised by an editor to post directly to your talkpage about this. I'm not clear on how can you say that Rotmsmasher and Golfbravoeacho are very different given the examples that I have shown within the case? If you look at the initial case I provided, there are numerous links of exactly how these users are similar. If you look at the history of the account, there are obvious similarities. One further point - given Rotsmashers long-standing edit warring of this thread and Golfbravoecho's recent edits, do you seriously believe that Rotsmasher has just walked away from this and is no longer editing the page? Given that there are three COI editors with myself being one, a gripe site owner with COI being identified as the second and Golfbravoecho is the only remaining non-neutral editor. I think it is clear from the page history that Rotsmasher would not just leave this article. Hardlygone ( talk) 10:12, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

You deleted the article I submitted for creation and appeared to call it "vandalism". If so I ask that you justify labeling my efforts as "vandalism". The article was a good faith representation of the usage of the term "mangina" in the collection of hundreds of websites called the manosphere which is viewed by millions of users around the world collectively. Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Mangina. I'm quite certain I was neutral and represented the manospheres usage without expressing any opinion for or against usage of the term.

If it wasn't clear that I did not make those changes to my submission you're referring to as "complete nonsense", I will tell you again now. I did not make any of those changes to the submission you're referring to. The article I submitted contained none of that text you quoted above. I defend my documentation of the term "mangina", though I accept that it may need to be expanded, and I ask that you remove the label of "vandalism" if you have attached that to either me or my post.

Thanks for protecting my userpage. That said, unless there's a policy against it, or you're worried I'm costing the project serious RCP resources, would you mind unprotecting it? My philosophy's always been that if it keeps the trolls out of mainspace, they can call me a faggot all they want till they get themselves blocked. I chuckle, stalk their contribs until an admin steps in, and add a few tallies to my vandalism userbox. I've also had a few times where I couldn't tell if an editor was vandalizing or just incompetent, and some all-caps changes to my page answered my question very easily, and led me and the blocking admins to cut them a lot less slack.
(I see no reason to lift the move-protection, though, for the record. Someone who gets stopped from moving my page will, I imagine, just vandalize it instead.) — Francophonie&Androphilie( Je vous invite à me parler) 22:51, 9 December 2012 (UTC)

Why have you removed a reference from a sourced book, readily commercially available and a screen grab from the actual movie From Russia With Love, which proves the editing of the page was correct and then locked the page to protect your removal of these legitimate sources?

At State of Palestine an editor made a bold change into the "Statehood for the purposes of the UN Charter" section, that I reverted and we engaged in a discussion combined with parallel edits of the live section. Unfortunately the edits seem to be non-converging, so I restored the status quo asked the other editor to first discuss and then edit, but he repeatedly pushes his changes in the live article ( last). Please restore the section (not the whole article) to its status quo version so that we can discuss instead of edit-war. Japinderum ( talk) 10:15, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
Hi,
Thanks for protecting
NATO bombing of Yugoslavia. This should give us some respite from VJ-Yugo socks for a while. However, they've followed me to
