This has got to be a joke of some sort. Izzy (talk)
It appears to be no joke. I have designed a new flag for Sussex and inserted in place of the old one. Izzy (talk) 22:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Geograph Images
I disagree with your revert on Seaford, East Sussex, which also wiped out the rest of my update, and the anon editor valid edits. You will see I have put those valid edits back. As far as I am aware the attribution goes on the image page Image:Seaford.jpg and there is no need to display it on the main article page. I have not seen any other articles where the photographers name appears. ++ MortimerCat (talk) 09:22, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- MortimerCat. Sorry if I was a little too hasty and indiscriminate - I should have conferred with you before doing anything. The Geograph Creative Commons Licence requires that uses of its images are attributed to the authors. The appearance of a Geograph image in an article is a discrete "use" and should strictly be attributed. In any event, if someone has been generous enough to make their work available for use then they should be recognised. Izzy (talk) 10:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- There was nothing wrong with reverting my changes if you felt that there was something was amiss. Thats why I re-reverted (if thats a word) but left the photographers attribute intact. I agree that the the picture needs to be attributed. My opinion is that this is done by the image page, reached by clicking on the photograph. I am not personally going to remove them again though, they do no harm on the main article. ++ MortimerCat (talk) 16:02, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for your contributions to Baccara over the last few days. Looking through your edit history, you've made many valuable edits, so I just thought I'd let you know that your work on Wikipedia is much appreciated ;) EyeSerenetalk 17:57, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
- EyeSerene. Thanks for the appreciation. I first came across Baccara last year when I was travelling in the bible belt and kept hearing Somewhere in Paradise on evangelical radio shows. The song stuck in my head and I had to find out more about it and the singers.Izzy (talk) 07:40, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
- Heh - my involvement was because I tagged the article as needing cleanup back in June 07, and was asked by its Spanish author to help out... which in all conscience I couldn't then refuse :P The sourcing still needs work, but it doesn't get much attention so your edits are very welcome!

Lord Moore image
Carnildo. The image is taken from Lord Moore's biography in the House of Lords website. It is covered by British Parliamentary copyright, see : http://www.parliament.uk/site_information/parliamentary_copyright.cfm
Note the following extract "All Parliamentary copyrights are reserved. The material listed may be reproduced without formal permission for the purposes of non-commercial research, private study and for criticism, review and news reporting provided that the material is appropriately attributed"
In particular "Use of parliamentary photographic images - The photographic images featured on this website are covered by Parliamentary copyright. They may be downloaded and reused without permission in any format for non-commercial use, including publication on a website ..."

Carnildo. In view of subsequent discussion and decision on Mitch, I think it is clear that the LordMoore image is OK for use in this article, and I have restored it. Please take the matter to the IFD forum if you still want to remove it. Izzy (talk) 12:49, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Please learn to indent
Isabela, can you please indent your posts on talk pages? Per Wikipedia:Indentation:
- ...it should be noted that the use of normal indentation threaded discussionon talk pages.
Thank you. Scolaire (talk) 18:06, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Scolaire. Indentations are not my strong point. Izzy (talk) 18:23, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Please read the above again. You need to make it your strong point. It is disruptive not to do it and I will not hesitate to ask for admin intervention if you continue to edit disruptively. Scolaire (talk) 18:31, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
Scolaire. What do you mean by "editing disruptively"?. In regard to this accusation, please explain yourself. Izzy (talk) 18:38, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- Read the quote again. Refusing to indent when you know how to do it is disruptive. It says right there in the quote that if other editors have been unable to persuade an individual to abide by the guideline, it may be enforced by administrative action. I have done my very best to persuade you. The next step will be to report you at the administrators' Noticeboard. Scolaire (talk) 22:15, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
- It doesn't have to go that far, I hope. Isabela, please read Wikipedia:Talk page formatting. Your lack of proper indentation is causing a bit of a headache and it makes it very, very difficult to figure out what you are responding to. Yes, that is a bit disruptive and it's easy to fix by the judicious insertion of colons. PLEASE read that guideline; we don't need any more acrimony and trouble on that talk page. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:42, 29 May 2014 (UTC)]
No acrimony and trouble from me. As regards the current issue on the Ian Gow article, please bring the matter to a close, one way or the other. It seems to me that there is a consensus in favour of referring to the car in which Gow was blown up. This is the same consensus as there was on previous occasions when the matter was raised. Izzy (talk) 18:29, 29 May 2014 (UTC)
Ian Gow
Izzy, I take your point re reverting my edit but the difficulty is that (a) if Ian Gow were alive the existing sentence would potentially be libelous. Hansard isn't a reliable source (other than as a source for what was actually said in Parliament) because of Parliamentary Privilege. I can't find any alternate sources that repeat the five pound allegation. There are a few (e.g. [1] and [2] that state that John Bodkin Adams was a constituent of Ian Gow, but none that illuminate the donations point. Your thoughts? Fiachra10003 (talk) 23:12, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
- Fiachra, the source cited is the official transcript of words spoken by Nicholas Soames in Parliament, being ".... Dr. Adams used to send our late friend [Gow] £5 at every general election for the Tory party fighting fund, which used to cause our late friend great embarrassment?". This indicates that the money was sent to Gow personally. I don't see why that could be libelous. My understanding of libel is that it occurs where you publish something about someone which is (a) untrue and (b) likely to cause that person loss in terms of money or social standing. I am pretty sure that Soames's report is true. Even if it isn't true and Gow were still alive then how could such a report (a constituent donating £5 to his election fund) cause Gow any loss?. Izzy (talk) 11:39, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
I am conscious that Nicholas Soames and Ian Gow knew each other socially, in and out of parliament, so Soames wouldn't have said it lightly (or in fact may have said it lightly, out of fun). But the present sentence says "His local supporters included the infamous John Bodkin Adams, who regularly donated to his election funds" .., not an
- Fiachra. OK, I accept what you say and have revised the text to give a fuller attribution to the information source. As an aside, Bodkin Adams was very well connected with the establishment in Eastbourne. The point relating to the donations is not the trivia that it might appear at first glance.Izzy (talk) 10:26, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
I see the change you made - thanks for putting up with my nitpicking. Fiachra10003 (talk) 17:18, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

RfA
Izzy, are you going to strike your vote at the RfA? It would be better for that to happen than for someone to do it for you.--Bbb23 (talk) 01:13, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
No Bbb23, I will not strike my vote. Any election where a candidate attracts >99% support is questionable. In this case it suggests to me a particular pattern of editing by the candidate. I have been a WP editor for over 10 years and I believe that this is the first time I have ever contributed to an Rfa debate. I expect my contribution and vote to be taken seriously and left in place. Izzy (talk) 10:28, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
- At a minimum your attitude is disappointing for an "experienced" user. More bluntly, it's disruptive. However, given your sporadic contributions to the project in recent times, I'm not taking any action. However, consider this a warning that similar kinds of disruption in the future may result in blocks.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:20, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
people here think you are not allowed to have an opinion they disagree with Libby Kane (talk)
Appreciated Libby. Much of the comment on my vote looks like pure harassment. Izzy (talk) 10:54, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
So long as you let my vote stand then I guess there is no problem Bbb23. But please note my comment immediately above concerning harassment and have a think about it. Thankyou Libby and Feminist for your support. Izzy (talk) 17:48, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
- Here's my thing. I looked at your userpage and thought "ah great, here's somebody who can help me clean up Sompting Abbotts Preparatory School, beef up Haremere Hall to cite more then three sources, or - if I'm really lucky - kick me up the backside to make West Pier a featured article". Then I saw "oppose - there must be something wrong with him" and winced. I used to work with a guy who had a speech impediment; nice guy, just I had to concentrate to understand what he said. How do you think he'd react if you said "there must be something wrong with you" to his face? Please don't do that again. As for "Any election where a candidate attracts >99% support is questionable." - it could just mean that lots and lots of people have seen the user around and really think he deserves the admin tools - see Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Megalibrarygirl for example. There's no grand conspiracy theory behind this and we don't sit behind closed doors in dark robes around pentagrams. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 18:39, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
As I said before, so long as my vote stands then there is no problem Ritchie333. A >99% support rate may indicate a great Wikipedian. It may also indicate a pattern of safe and bland edits - and a 'special purpose account'. I am not implying any wrongdoing and anyone is welcome to make bland edits or set up a special purpose account if they so wish. If any person offers themselves for election then they have to accept comments about themselves which are both negative and positive. I thankyou for your note which I recognise is both polite and reasoned. Izzy (talk) 18:59, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
- As you may have seen, the closing bureaucrat struck your vote as "in bad faith". Personally I think the difference between 253 support / 3 oppose versus 253 support / 2 oppose is trivial, but that's the decision that has been made. I would recommend reading Wikipedia:Advice for RfA voters carefully before you participate in RfA again. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 23:22, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Free speech on WP
I apologize if being perceived as disturbing, and, please, feel free to remove this any time.
I felt urged to come here to express my strong disagreement with calling your opposing !vote "silly", "disruptive(", ")nonsense", intended for a "for a quick laugh", "frivolous", "not ... legitimate", and finally, with utmost bureaucratic emphasis "not in good faith". Additionally to this overt offenses I denounce the behind the scenes exhortation to strike your !vote.
Sadly, voices defending freedom of speech are rare, not from the highest ranks and drowned out by those who prefer ridiculing Miklejohn, and this when confronted with evenly strongly reasoned support-!votes. Just to be explicit: I agree with your motivations to oppose, not with the !vote per se.
If all of this would not get increasingly characteristic for the Wikipedia: Silencing non-mainstreamed opinions. Cheers, Purgy (talk) 09:08, 27 January 2019 (UTC)
Your support is appreciated, Purgy . As indicated in the previous thread I had a rational reason for my oppose vote on the Rfa in question. Striking that vote is clearly an oppressive act.
