If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. NW (Talk) 18:45, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The article only states "(dubbed "Climategate" in the media)". Their is not a section as to the Etymology, yet there is over 2 million hits on Google. NFCC #1&8 states, "significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding." The screenshot clearly illustrates the media (FOX News) using of the phrase. So if there is no written section about the media "dubbing" the Incident it can only be represented by a photo, how are we to get one that is for free/fair use (Note: that almost half of the ref used in the article use the word climategate). As far as Contextual significance [2] Climategate became very controversial and garnered lots of media coverage, a screenshot of that term in news coverage would likely be appropriate.--Duchamps_comb MFA 22:33, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You have just re-uploaded File:Climategate.jpg, which was speedily deleted on 30 November 2009 as a blatant copyright violation. Please do not do this again, as repeated copyright violations are likely to lead to an automatic indefinite block. -- ChrisO (talk) 18:47, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi can you tell me why the file Climategate.jpg had a copyright violation? I took the screen shot myself. Also can you tell me why you speedy deletion the file? File added on 18:37, 23 July 2010 [3] deleted on 18:50, 23 July 2010 [4] looks like the file lasted a whole 13 minutes? --Duchamps_comb MFA 19:29, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll explain this for you. There is a long policy page at Wikipedia:Non-free content and a set of criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria which you should read but I'll give you the gist of them.

Fair use images are permitted on Wikipedia but only in certain very limited circumstances. In the case of television screen shots, they are acceptable for critical commentary about television. An example might be a screenshot from a particular TV show, which is used in an article about that show. However, the usual presumption is against using any fair use images where a free alternative might be available. In the case of your Climategate.jpg image, it failed

WP:NFCC#1, any information can be given in text." NuclearWarfare deleted it under the same rationale, but he could just as easily have deleted it as a re-created version of a previously deleted file. Restoring deleted copyright violations is strictly not allowed. -- ChrisO (talk) 19:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply

ChrisO I was not seeking your answer. Please do not post again on my talk page regarding this issue as you seem to be on a

hounding and stalking me. You comments will thus only fall on deaf ears. I will await NW's answer as well as other admins who would like to answer.--Duchamps_comb MFA 21:04, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply

I'm sorry you feel that way and I apologise if I've given you that impression. I'm simply trying to give you some advice and pointers to Wikipedia policy, since I've been involved for many years in dealing with copyright issues on Wikipedia. I don't think NW or any other admin would be likely to tell you any differently. -- ChrisO (talk) 21:39, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with ChrisO's original statement of 19:52, 23 July 2010 (UTC). You may wish to ask User:Stifle or User:Fastily for a third opinion, both those admins have been uninvolved entirely with climate change as far as I know and also work in NFCC enforcement.

Hello. I'm writing to let you know that I found

I see something other than direct quotes as the problem. These two sentences are a direct copy of the New York Times article:

One of the most gripping and, increasingly, controversial television images of the violence was a scene of two Korean merchants firing pistols repeatedly from a military stance. The image seemed to speak of race war, and of vigilantes taking the law into their own hands.

We must use our own words. I see that there's a history of copyright problems with your additions. Thanks for your invitation to work on the article but I must say that I'm not interested in helping out there. I'm only interested in keeping the articles tidy and to build this encyclopedia by the book. Can you please re-write the problem areas using your own words?

Is the Korean armed resistance during 1992 L.A. riot necessary? It's covered in the riot's article.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Second Revolution flag until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Yaksar (let's chat) 01:07, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

• The article was renominated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Second Revolution flag (2nd nomination) and I closed it. However, I don't see that you were notified of the second nomination, so I've undone the deletion, for now. Mandsford 16:18, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've brought the discussion to Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 March 28. Mandsford 16:48, 28 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Based on that outcome, it's back on the table at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2011 March 30. Mandsford 20:48, 30 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've modified your Obama-related topic ban, as discussed at the AN thread you initiated. Your topic ban from all articles and discussions related to Barack Obama will expire 1 April 2015. Due to repeated near-identical unban requests, showing a lack of understanding of the problem, you are limited to one unban appeal per year. To avoid a Catch-22, this decision to limit unban appeals can be appealed directly to ArbCom at

Hi Du - please don't edit anything in to the article about Pieczenik that you don't reliably source. I'm reverting your latest set of edits, because any contentious claims absolutely require sourcing (and those are contentious claims, because both me and the other people looking at the AfD have failed to find any evidence for them and doubt their veracity.) Please edit it in if you can find any confirmation that he *did* work for the state department in that capacity or that the clancy characters were in fact based off of him, but only if you can cite it to a reliable source that is intellectually independent of Pieczenik.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Deathsythe (talk) 12:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

For two weeks. I strongly considered making indefinite. There is nothing at all acceptable about this edit. NW (Talk) 00:12, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I would like to ask to be unblocked. I did push the flagpole a bit on 12-11-11. However I received an indefinite block on 12-27-11 for making ONE SINGLE edit (on a protected page with 1R) so I don't think i am a menace to the wiki project. I took a long break to even post this reply. I think NuclearWarfare may have over acted a bit. If you look at my history I'm really not such a jerk but I do sometimes get passionate about politics. I intend if unblocked to not make edits to the

Climategate

page again unless approved first on the talk page. I will also take criticism as to how to be a better editor, and play better with others.

Request reason:

Hi It's been almost a year I was wondering If I could join the project again?

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

What's changed since the last unblock request? MastCell ^Talk 18:23, 27 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• What can change if I am blocked and cannot edit? I'm really not a fan of psycoanalisis/talk therapy. If you have a point or question please be direct. --Duchamps_comb MFA 16:15, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • I thought that was pretty direct. You were blocked after a prolonged pattern of disruptive and hyper-partisan editing. Why should we expect anything different from you if you're unblocked now? MastCell ^Talk 18:02, 28 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
    • As usual no matter what you do or don't do it will all be used against you; the Wiki-Gods are vengeful and very passive aggressive. I addressed the reason for an unblock the first time around. All you guys want to do is play (head) games and use what ever I say or don't say against me (as usual). [6]] This place is a joke with its Liberal bias just like the mainstream media, Jimmy Wales even said this place is mob rule. -- Mastcell let me now answer your question, I have learned that you cannot fight the machine, you cannot go against a cabale, you cannot have a minority pov on any article (or even a single edit). Thus why even try to edit political pages? Their protected by government alphabet agencies anyway. So I would try to stick to martial arts pages and un-eventful editing, because anything else just gets you on the radar of asshats with their own agenda to protect and administrators with buttons to punish you with. I hope my direct speech in this matter is not considered in violation of the Patriot Act. --Duchamps_comb MFA 01:00, 4 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
