adoption request

Hi LaraLove - I request to be adopted. I am very new here, but I would like to do a lot of things, including write FAs and DYKs, but I don't want to cause any problems and I want to understand the policies here. If you have the time, please do consider my request. Btw, I did ask user:Gnangarra first, but in terms of respect, you are by no means a second choice. V i s n a v a 16:22, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

My apologies, but due to some urgent work I must do right away, I must withdraw my request for now. Thank you for your indulgence, V i s n a v a 16:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me out with something, no one seems to be any help around here. Thank you and have a wonderful day...... (Even the one that adopted me doesn't seem to be around......)

Rianon Burnet 20:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Actually it's more of I would like it if you could do something for me if that is ok?????? If that is not aloud than ok......

Rianon Burnet 21:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm about to go to work. What did you need? Lara❤Love 21:19, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Um, Actually I figured out my problem through a different approach, but I do have a new question that maybe you might have the answere too.. I was going through the articles that need help and I stumbled upon Coffee and Tea,, But when I click it, nothing showed up but an empty box to where I could type. Does that mean that the page was yet to be made and if so is it a comparison between Coffee and Tea? Sorry lots of questions so little time..... But if you can get back to me then I can get started on making that page......!!!! thank you and have a wonderful day,,, God Bless.....

P.S. Sorry about yesterday, I was having a bad day and I may have been a little rud or sarcastic, very sorry....... :(

Rianon Burnet 16:16, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you are right, that would of been my next question, and why it was empty..... I searched both and found both.... Thank you for getting back to me so quickly.. I really apreciate it. I was wondering the same thing you where about it.... By the way, how does my page look??? (out of subject)

Rianon Burnet 16:26, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, The green I did not do but pretty much everything else. I was wondering do you know how to fix my title, it seems to move almost everytime I log on!! ???? Thank you and have a wonderful day,, God Bless....

Hi, How are you, ok about my header, I don't truly understand how to get it, and it also seems that the person who adopted me fell off of the face of the earth. So I'm afraid that I'll loose all of my information... What can I do? Thanks and I hope that you have a wonderful day, be safe and God Bless........

Rianon Burnet 14:34, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I posted a comment So we will see if he gets back to me......... thank you and God bless...

Gaddafi Clark Köchler Photograph - AGAIN

Resolved

LaraLove, you will recall that you you recently speed-deleted the image Qadhafi-clark-koechler.jpg which I had uploaded, under a mistaken statement of reason. You later restored the image with a comment that someone had disagreed with my original fair use rationale. In response, I provided an updated, different and detailed fair use rationale, as well as a copyright tag, as you had suggested. Less than 48 hours after your restoration of the image, it was again "speed-deleted" by a trigger-happy 19-year-old without any comment who clearly hadn't taken the trouble to understand fair use, and offered no comments invalidating my reasons. Unfortunately, the current Wikipedia software is set up such that obliterating the image also obliterates the painstaking documentation of its relevance etc.

I would be grateful if you could restore the image, in light of a thorough and robust understanding of the fair use doctrine. As I stated earlier, the whole point of fair use - as stated in the federal cases announcing this legal doctrine - is precisely that we MUST NOT allow a mechanical understanding of copyright to swallow up our freedom of speech. For this reason, a robust and considered understanding of fair use, rather than reflective "speed-deletion", is required.

I would appreciate it if you could restore the image again. Thank you. WikiFlier (talk) 19:34, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

No. Sorry. There's probably a reason that different people keep tagging it and deleting it. And it's not a conspiracy. Your image depicts three living individuals. It does not add any context that cannot be expressed in text, therefore it fails fair use guidelines. I'm not restoring it again. And please add new posts to the bottom of the page. Lara❤Love 14:42, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

(1) I didn't say this is a conspiracy - on the contrary, I appealed to you in the hope that you would exercise independent judgment.

(2) You are confusing "fair use" with replaceability. Since you came out and deleted the image (which you correctly later restored), and then came out claiming that the fair use rationale was invalid, it is incumbent on you to at least read and UNDERSTAND the entire fair use article, NOT merely some one-paragraph short-cut illustration. As I have explained before, fair use is an OVERLAY over what you think of as "copyright".

(3) No doubt you are tired of this debate, and I don't expect you to change your mind (and get other admins mad at you). But please do us all a favor and read and understand what fair use really means before you "speed-delete" any more images on grounds of "insufficient" fair use. Blue-eyed "good will" is no excuse when you are in fact doing the dirty work of on-line censors. There are people hard at work (look at the page history!) trying to silence criticism and destroy evidence of their ties with murderous dictators like Muammar Gaddafi. Will you help them? (You do know about the Bulgarian nurses, right? Your disappointed correspondent, WikiFlier (talk) 06:04, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe the image has a lot of relevance on the article. Just as I stated (I believe) in the edit summary, the image does not illustrate anything that cannot be expressed in words. The image is copyrighted. It should not be used under fair use unless doing so explicitly improves the article in a way that words cannot. I don't believe it satisfies that.

RE: User talk pages

Resolved

Hello, thank you for your comments. I realize this, but could you please clarify who that was? I remember there was one user I reverted, but he was blocked. Another one was an IP address, and I heard they cannot do that. Thanks for telling me. Happy editing! Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 21:56, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for letting me know! Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 03:45, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Resolved

I apologize for causing you so much trouble with the space related images that were moved to commons under a different name. I only realized after a couple of days that this was not an automated replacement process such as Commonsdelinker is capable of. If I had realized earlier, i would have fixed the inclusions myself when adding ncd. A proces to automatically fix all inclusions to the new name after review by an admin is definitely something that should be considered though I think. It has really alleviated much of the workload on the commons admins. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 04:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

It's not a problem. It's quite, uncontroversial work. :) I have thought about asking for a bot to do it. Perhaps that's something I should get on. Thanks for your message, though. :) Lara❤Love 04:07, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I think Metsbot could easily do it with some code taken from Commonsdelinker if needed. If you want to do it, that's fine of course but it seems like such a repetitive task. I'd go crazy myself --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 04:22, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

protection

Resolved

I've added the retired notice and redirected my user page to my talk page. Since you're apparently active, would you mind protecing my user and talk page?--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 04:32, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Already did it. Look forward to a request to undo it. Lara❤Love 04:33, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, and would you please also protected the redirect page (My userpage)? It's not a big deal if it's left unprotected.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 04:35, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Wow! You're fast! Thanks a lot!--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 04:36, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm speedy like Gonzales. Enjoy your retirement... or, better yet, break. Lara❤Love 04:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

I let Redux know that it's already been done.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk) 21:26, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

User:Godsnotreal

Resolved

May I ask why user:Godsnotreal was blocked indefinitely for having an inappropriate username? If the name user:Godisreal would also receive a block, I would have less of a problem - but I think both sides of the argument are equally inflammatory and equally impossible to prove 100 per cent. If not, then I am concerned that the name has been blocked. Thanks Whitstable (talk) 20:58, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I notice user:Godisreal appeared to be blocked at some stage. Perhaps I should have used the more apt comparison of a user name relating to the existence of Santa! Whitstable (talk) 21:01, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
