Hi East. I've reviewed your switch to oppose. I must say I find this very worrying. In the past DHMO has had his RFA fail over something similar (releasing IRC logs). I've been very close to Giggy since both our early days on WP (he nominated me for adminship twice in fact). I have a lot of time for him. But I agree very much with your assessment that we cannot have admins who may release private information. I get the impression from your oppose that this release was not malicious, but equally not accidental. Maybe "without thinking it through" would be the summary?? I ask, as I respect your opinion a great deal, would this be your interpretation as well? I am trying to minimise the OMG drama that his RFA has already created by approaching you here rather than at the RFA. I'm possibly uncomfortable continuing to support, based on the words in your oppose, as privacy is of great importance to me. Pedro : Chat 12:22, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Please restore this image. It was removed from the infobox on WTSB because of a format change on that radio station. This image should have been moved to the history section.-- Rtphokie ( talk) 11:54, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Carnildo says you deleted two images from the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Joseph_Cormier that were posted by another WikipediA Administrator http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Earl_Andrew. Is there a hierarchal structure system among Administrators so one can overrule another without discussion?
One image showed the subject of the article wearing the gag "Fear of the Truth" over his mouth as he was beat up and removed from the Visitors Gallery of the Canadian House of Commons on the first day of televised debate in history. That would make it an image associated with history, in Canada at least.
Understanding WikipediA respects copyrite restrictions, the tag applied to the deleted images reads as follows:
Because the image is historically significant, the entire image is needed to identify the subject, properly convey the meaning and branding intended, and avoid tarnishing or misrepresenting the image. Low resolution?
The copy is of sufficient resolution for commentary and identification but lower resolution than the original. Copies made from it will be of inferior quality, unsuitable for uses that would compete with any commercial purpose of the photograph. Purpose of use
Identification and critical commentary in the article, a subject of public interest. It makes a significant contribution to the user's understanding of the article, which could not practically be conveyed by words alone. The image is placed next to the associated material discussing the work, to show the primary visual image associated with the work, and to help the user quickly identify the work and know they have found what they are looking for. Replaceable?
Because the image depicts a non-reproducible historic event, there is almost certainly no free equivalent. Any substitute that is not a derivative work would fail to convey the meaning intended, would tarnish or misrepresent its image, or would fail its purpose of identification or commentary. Other information Use of the historic image in the article complies with Wikipedia non-free content policy and fair use under United States copyright law as described above. The image meets general Wikipedia content requirements and is encyclopaedic.
It will take some time before the Article is so widely known by the public, there is a 0% probability any newspaper will want to claim copyvio considering the subject.
Will you please undo what you did until there is a free and fair discussion by users? If there is any tag that could be associated to the disputed images to stimulate discussion, do that. The Editors of the Ottawa Citizen have been aware of its images on the Article since they were posted by Earl Andrew.

Most casual observers wouldn't even notice this in the image, but in a fraction of a second, as the world turned, in the darkness of shadow of the Sun off his nose, started the words ""Fear of the Truth", but in the light the gag read "Ear The Truth"
The source was cited in the tag accompanying the faded 31 year old image, which isn't in the archives of the paper any longer, and also in the Reference section #5. What can be done now? Thanks for answering. Peace DoDaCanaDa ( talk) 16:32, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
Unfortunately, restoring those images isn't possible. The benchmark for our copyright policies isn't dependent on the price of the item in question or the probability that we'll get sued, it's whether it is completely free to use, redistribute and modify, while not maintaining the chain of copyright. Hosting such a high-resolution scan is akin to freely redistributing the article, which constitues a copyright violation. I can understand your concern about the article not being archived by the newspaper any more, but I was able to find it very fast in a pay-per-view database. As long as the article existed at one point, you should be fine with respect to sourcing. :) east.718 at 22:47, June 14, 2008

When removing an image, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Perhaps your edit was justified, but you did not provide an appropriate reason. Your reason was "CSD I6: No justification given for fair use for more than seven days)" The image is not copyrighted, and with the few images on Wikipedia already because of copyright restraints, we do NOT need more images taken down for the wrong reasons.

Hello, East718. I've noticed that 718 Bot has been removing the {{ ShouldBePNG}} tag from some images lately, such as Image:100th year logo.jpg, with the explanation "Removing tag; PNG conversion would be inefficient". I am not sure exactly what criteria are used to make this decision, but the explanation leads me to believe that the bot is converting the JPEG image directly to a PNG and discovering that the resulting PNG has a larger file size. This situation should not be surprising; JPEG compression results in the introduction of compression artifacts in the image, and these artifacts are preserved if the JPEG is converted to a PNG, which results in poor PNG compression performance. The {{ShouldBePNG}} tag is most certainly not requesting that the JPEG be converted to a PNG; it is requesting a PNG substitute for the image, one which has never gone through the process of JPEG compression. A clean, never-JPEG-compressed version of Image:100th year logo.jpg would almost certainly result in a PNG with a much smaller file size than the existing JPEG (and no compression artifacts); but there will be no improvement in either image quality or file size if the JPEG itself is simply converted to a PNG.
If 718 Bot is removing the {{ShouldBePNG}} tag from JPEG images based solely on the fact that converting the JPEG to a PNG results in a PNG which is larger than the original JPEG, then this is faulty reasoning, and I would appreciate it if you would correct this behavior. — Bkell ( talk) 07:56, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Can you do me a favour and help him to understand what 3RR means. He is a veteran editor. He just needs a 'sledgehammer' remonder of what the 3RR policy is. Thanks and have a nice day.

East 718
Being new to Wikipedia, I have no friends or allies yet. By the tags attached to the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Joseph_Cormier is under attack. Hopefully you will weigh in with an opinion on these images an Administrator deleted within minutes of seeing the article. They were originally posted by another Administrator with the tag he deemed appropriate, and who created the article. He has not been available for some time. When two Administrators have a diametrically opposed POV, then consensus is built by other users offering an opinion. Unfortunately no one reading the article can see the images to offer an opinion. The Administrator who placed the tags and deleted them wrote they made Cormier look too good and were not neutral. A dispute tag is attached to both images so every opinion in the Discussion counts. Should they be restored or deleted?

You might be interested to see this image I would like to see posted to the Article having permission from Maclean's Magazine to do so. Permissions has not replied.

I don't know how to restore the images to the article so a reader might offer an opinion, and any help you or another can provide will be appreciated. DoDaCanaDa ( talk) 20:52, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
"Hostage" was the last word he said perched on a bus shelter roof, as police got up and grabbed his megaphone. He was arrested for shouting, causing a disturbance, convicted and fined $250. He appealed without a lawyer to the Supreme Court of Canada.[16][17][18] is exactly factual, prophetic and important, referenced and in Court documents. The world is in fact being held hostage to the War on terrorism subsequent to the prophecy. What further verification is required? Since I discovered the article April 19, approximately 2500 views were registered to the page from an average of 60 views a month for the two years previous. According to Wikipedia because they did not object is considered consent to the way it read. This paragraph from the article is significantly important and prophetic. "In 1981, Cormier hitchhiked from Ottawa to Whitehorse, Yukon to draw attention to Revelation 19:11 [2]. Newspapers across the country chronicled his journey, and twenty years later the world was stunned to witness 9/11 as described in Revelation 18. There was an off site link so a user could read directly 19:11 and 9/11 from Revelation themselves. Even the references were deleted. This is certainly controversial, and some people can not and will not accept the facts. This could have been edited to be more encyclopedic in style rather than deleted. I am a newbie, and the editors are respected members and Administrators of the Wikipedia community. Do I have any options left? DoDaCanaDa ( talk) 11:11, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
I having have been attempting to get permission to post supporting information to the article. This is a moot point now since the two editors primarily responsible for removing everything congratulated themselves for their great work. I got permission from MacLean's to print what they wrote on me in 1981 and that's an orphaned image now because the reference is removed. The trip made national attention. I am particularly surprised to see they left this in, "In 1986, to complete his Canada-wide mission, he hitchhiked East to Quebec and the Maritimes.[7][8][9][10] By itself it makes no sense without this: In 1981, Cormier hitchhiked from Ottawa to Whitehorse, Yukon to draw attention to Revelation 19:11 [2]. Newspapers across the country chronicled his journey, and twenty years later the world was stunned to witness 9/11 as described in Revelation 18. That year he was shocked to learn of the development and deployment of the neutron bomb by the good guys in world evolution. He considers the concept of the device to be demonic and anti-human, exposing the power that brought it into existence for what it is. The nuclear device does not explode a fiery blast to destroy the loot, but unleashes enhanced dirty radiation so that the people die a slow, tortuous death. That has come home to roost with the fears these days of terrorists building a crude dirty bomb.[7][8][9][ and removed the references so I can't post the Maclean's piece. I haven't come to any definitive conclusion yet, but from my POV, every attempt was made to suppress any information that the prophet is ordained, not self proclaimed. They could have removed the more controversial part of the sentence but kept mention of the trip and references. Notice how I have been advocating change long before McCain and Obama, but at least it's now at the top of the agenda. They even removed that statement that used to be in the politics section, They also removed the commonly know fact and statement Government corruption became the issue in the following elections and Canada has had minority government under both Liberals and Conservatives since then. The need for Change is now at the top of the agenda. He received 91 votes. Discussion: ' 97 Election Campaign literature It's taken 11 years, and I'm happy to see it at the top of the agenda, more so than the mainstream population. Seeing it gives me hope.
Please read this discussion carefully on the page of the other Administrator who took part in the decimation rightly or wrongly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ground_Zero#19:11_.26_9.2F11 These are facts even if I can't verify them for now. One man against the system these days can certainly be compared to the contest between David and Goliath. The Star of David is very interesting if you really look at it. I was surprised to discover the plaque of the architect who designed the Canadian House of Commons near the Library is that Star. It is so simple in symbolism. It depicts two pyramids with one inverted. If humanity adhered to God's principles and build accordingly, we would have a stable system like the upright pyramid. Doing it by the global Babylonian system these 3600 years, our infrastructure is the inverse pyramid, and when it topples, will the masses be prepared? I have always believed, like in the Bible story of Jonah, the people will change if they really understood what was at stake. When I discovered the article, I thought God finally opened a way for the information to be made public and stimulate discussion. This door has effectively been closed. From my POV it's the continuation of the spirit of the letter in my probation of 1977. It is not God who will destroy the system. We don't need his help doing a good job of it ourselves.

On this image the caption read, 'People unhappy with police' I think the image verifies the reality. It was changed to, 'Cormier being arrested' which isn't even the reality. A week earlier I spent 5 days in maximum security and I didn't want to spend another weekend there, so I agreed to stop speaking. I was telling the people what happened in the police car, saying, "I'll be back!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:2nd_Police_Warning_4_God%27s_Emissary_1.jpg The image was even reduced in size from the original posting so a viewer cannot examine each face in detail, posting this misleading statement No higher resolution available.

From my POV the mainstream is the mainstream because they do not challenge authority, wanting to live in their only little secure part of this world undisturbed, not taking a stand or having an opinion on anything controversial . Paraphrasing the words of Christ in Matthew 13 he says, These people having eyes, will not see; and having ears, will not hear, so they will understand in their heart, and be converted and healed. He goes even further in Revelation 3 saying, I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot: I would prefer you were cold or hot. So then because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue you out of my mouth. Because you say, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and don't know that you are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked... He's talking to those Christians who say they believe in him. These are the words that came before Billy Graham's edited speech at his San Diego crusade referenced here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ground_Zero#19:11_.26_9.2F11. I don't know how it could be cited or referenced, but I think Billy Graham was acknowledged as the undisputed leader of America's version of Christianity. With leadership that misread the scriptures like that, it's possible the US could find itself in very deep doodoo which it is these days. I shudder to imagine what it will be like when the inverse pyramid does topple with so many loose guns around. I see it coming in the near time. Previously the article reported the time I worked for the Foundation Company of Canada on the Distant Early Warning Line. This was removed along with favorite Bible verses selected to give a broad overview. One verse read: A man devises his ways, but the Lord directs his steps. I've wondered if I was directed to work that job only to be able to say in the article, " The foundation is laid, but the warning line is no longer distant and it's getting late." I'm trying for a soft landing not a hard crash. DoDaCanaDa ( talk) 13:04, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi East, do you have any objections if I undelete this? It looks like it was orphaned because someone messed with the filename on the I Wanna Love You article here. That edit has been corrected, and the image appears to be legitimate otherwise. Take care. -- Bongwarrior ( talk) 10:05, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
This edit could be seen as defamatory, and if the user is successful in reversing this indef block, the longer this message remains on the page, the more tainted the username becomes. I urge you to reword this message. Best, Jeffpw ( talk) 10:11, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Hello, can you please copy and paste here the history log of Image:Kastoria1.jpg deleted by you on 04:31, 26 March 2008. I am concerned, because you deleted it for reason of Image lacking sources or licensing information for more than seven days while this same image several months before this on 18:08, 28 October 2007 was transferred from EN WP to BG WP under GFDL with attribution to User:Makedonas, and the transfer was made by one very respected user of my community who is well aware of licenses and such stuff. I am worried, what has happened in the meanwhile between October 2007 and March 2008. Please, answer to me here, I watch your talk. Thank you in advance. → Spiritia 22:13, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've been removing compression artifacts from Category:Images_in_lossless_format_with_lossy_compression_artifacts. I've noticed that some of the images that have been tagged with {{ artifacts}} don't actually have any artifacts. For example, this image:
had no artifacts as a GIF image, and so has no artifacts as a PNG.
Does your Bot automatically add the {{ artifacts}} tag? If so, is there anyway to validate the presence of artifacts before it adds the tag?

Thank you so much for your words of comfort at this dreadful time. Isaac is here with me at home, and will stay here for the condolence viewing calls until the funeral on Thursday. It gives me comfort to have him so close until we are definitely and finally parted.
Your words and thoughts mean the world to me, and give me the courage to face the coming time alone. Thank G*d for my job. I will be back at work next Monday, which will help to distract me from everything which has happened. Jeffpw ( talk) 14:54, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Hey East718. You mentioned your fondness for edit warriors. I have just found one. Check out Stra2caster ( talk · contribs). He has been edit warring a poor quality image (his own personal upload, go figure) into several articles where it is not wanted and goes against previous discussion. I informed him of the errors of his ways and linked him to wp:3rr and all but... the result was this anti-civil personal attack on my talk page. Note that the user also edits as IP 76.64.121.7 and has used many different IPs from the same range over the past several weeks. Rotten IP editors! :D . Can you intervene and help him to see the light. Better yet... can you have an admin over at Commons delete the fuzzy pic completely so that we won't have to worry about it anymore? Thanks and have a nice day! Libs ( talk) 15:20, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, as always for all your help. BTW... an editor you laid a 1 week block on for being an rv warrior... Mr. Johan Rachmaninov has returned from his 1 week block and is already reverting some of the pages that got him blocked in the first place. No 3RR breaks yet. But, when (notice I said when and not if) he does... should I sound the alarm straight to you on him. He was a pretty prolific rv specialist that was getting away with a lot before he got nabbed. My bets are that he goes back to the same ol' habits. My actual bet it that Johan is really an new account created from the fingers of permanently blocked User:Scipo... but I haven't nailed that one shut yet. Give me time though and I will find "the Rach's" true identity (I always do y'know :D) Thanks again and have a nice day! Libs ( talk) 04:26, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
