Orphaned non-free media (Image:WPS logo with script.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:WPS logo with script.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

on my edit

why the hell do you keep moaning about my van nistelrooy edit it is true and it has been proven by alot of tv pundits and football commentators i mean van nistelrooy did dive in the box and was given penalties that never should have stood and that is fact it has been proven it is not my personal view it is just a fact that i have brought to attention and you will not stop me getting this information across.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulwelbeck (talk • contribs) 14:10, July 11, 2008

van nistelrooy

I have now given factual information on van nistelroooy diving antics if you remove these quotes i will indeed report you to wikipedia for removing factual information —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulwelbeck (talk • contribs) 15:46, July 11, 2008

Hoodie article

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Hoodie, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. --Lemons&Limes (talk) 20:14, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, there is no "stray" reference to boys its a fact. As with the main link at the top of the page. If you look at the article with reference to that school; it is not part of the girls school uniform but is part of the boys'. Anyway I as many other have stated have rarely if, seen a female wear one. --Lemons&Limes (talk) 20:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Playing style

hey mosmof, the section of 'playing style' i wrote for Kaka is 90% not of my personal anaylsis. I see other players like Henry having a section of his style of play and why can't we have one for Kaka?! A writer has written a part for Kaka before so why so strict with this? I'm not insulting my favourite idol or anything. I just see that if other players do have a section on their style of play, why not Kaka who IS CONSIDERED the best player of 2007. unless you don't know anything about football then for once, you should know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zidanekaka (talk • contribs) 07:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Check user for Emetman, 207.237.137,37, 64.52.47.210

In addition to the comments I left on the Ronn Torossian talk page regarding Emetman and 207.237.137.37 likely being Torossian himself, please note that the third user has the exact same IP address as the exposed 5W sockpuppeteer on Failed Messiah (check out the original posts regarding 5W's impersonation on that blog for the full evidence). It may well be the same as User: Judae1, based on JTA's trace of an e-mail he sent them. It was my edit of 5W Public Relations that seemed to spark all of the back-and forth attempts to delete and restore the material regarding 5W's actions in the Jewish blogosphere. Thanks for checking on this, and I am satisfied with your reworking and updating of my contribution on the 5W page. I will correct one spelling error - the blogger's last name should be "Rosenberg". 76.230.156.206 (talk) 09:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

"Jesus" nickname for Ray Allen

I think you missed my point re: Ray Allen's nickname. I'm not questioning it's a fact, nor did i ever say it's not a fact - my edit summary said "unsourced, nn nickname". Which is to say, it's not sourced, it's not a particularly notable nickname (or I don't see any reliable source suggesting it is), and even if it's a notable nickname, I can't imagine why it would belong in the first paragraph. --Mosmof (talk) 23:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Would you like to try responding to messages and discussing things before reverting edits w/o citing policies or guidelines? --Mosmof (talk) 14:29, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

First of all, it is included in the List of basketball nicknames. Secondly, not I am responsible for deleting all the unsourced info, but you, because I didn't remove the nickname, and you try to make it look "tidy". Also, don't remove information from Kevin Garnett without a reason. The part which you said was unsorced, has actually two sources. ● 8~Hype ^@ 15:27, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

By the way, you ain't going to be able to do anything now about Ray Allen, as I have added a source. And now, please remove all the unsorced nicknames on other player's pages, such as Ben Wallace, a page you edited, but mysteriously didn't remove two unsorced nicknames on. ● 8~Hype ^@ 15:35, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Please don't delete sorced content from Kevin Garnett, as it is borderline vandalism. Thank you for your understanding. ● 8~Hype ^@ 19:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Also, please don't leave disingenuous edit summaries like you did in the Garnett article. You know why it was removed - you just disagree with the reasoning. --Mosmof (talk) 19:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

It is an unbounded cheek to allege that I know the reason for the removal of content. ● 8~Hype ^@ 19:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

And passive aggressiveness is borderline unWP:CIVIL. Please cite me a policy that says removing "sorced" content is vandalism. Removing sourced content without good reason is vandalism, sure, but removing sourced content in good faith and with good reason certainly is not. --Mosmof (talk) 19:34, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

You have yet to state clearly (exluding edit summaries) why the content was removed. Adding content in good faith, which I do, is also not considered vandalism. Also, please don't leave abusive edit summaries like you did in Ray Allen. And please prove my "passive aggressiveness". ● 8~Hype ^@ 19:40, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Would you please stop being obtuse? In my initial edit, my edit summary read "m nn material from 1st par." I thought that would be clear, but if it wasn't, you were more than welcome to ask me - I'm obviously willing to explain and discuss my edits. And I'e tried to explain in Talk:Ray Allen how most nicknames are not notable or important enough for inclusion in first paragraph, and we've discussed this in Template talk:Infobox NBA Player in the past, so you claiming ignorance is surprising to say the least. Also, FYI, you have made your 3rd revert on Kevin Garnett, --Mosmof (talk) 19:48, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Would you understand an edit summary written like this: "g for 1st ff without tcp"? No. I didn't understand your reasoning, and you can't blindly assume that I understand it and have it in mind while reverting your edits. ● 8~Hype ^@ 20:01, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Shearer pic

Hey, what with the image now being "fair use", do we need to include some commentary on the image within the section? I don't really have that much knowledge of Fair Use policy, so I may be mistaken... - Toon⁰⁵ 16:18, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

question about deleted image

Greetings. On Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2008_August_15#Image:KABCDisneylandDeath.jpg, your stance was that the news screenshot image should be deleted (no argument here, I'm not asking for reinstatement). My question is what types of images could qualify for inclusion in the various Incidents articles such as Incidents at Disney parks? I know that there are various news-posted images of Fabio getting hit in the head by a goose while riding a coaster (which would certainly show the physical aftermath of that specific incident), but I'm assuming an image such as that would not be allowed to be included in WP due to copyright or other limitations. And since the Incidents topics don't have images of the incidents themselves, but rather the aftermath (it is a news-related topic, after all), it's rather difficult to find appropriate images to help bring the articles up to GA quality level, so I'm at a loss to determine what can be added. Thanks for your input in advance. SpikeJones (talk) 04:24, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you have neither confirmed nor denied anything I already thought. In other words, probably no images will be available for use in those articles. At least they're (almost entirely) well-cited articles. SpikeJones (talk) 12:48, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:JerryJohnston.jpg

Just to let you know that if an image is tagged with a license without proof (OTRS etc.) that it is released under that license, you can tag it as {{subst:npd|source=source quoted by the uploader}}. This is faster than PUI. Stifle (talk) 16:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi there MOSMOF, VASCO from PORTUGAL here,

I just want to say the following, regarding the José Luis Martí (Spanish footballer) wikipage: No need to apologize man, that was a five-star interference, jump in at any time.

I will also tip user http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Satori_Son informing him of the "project"'s completion.

From PORTUGAL, have a nice weekend,

5W Public Relations

Ugh...how have you dealt with this article for so long?! Thanks for reverting the last edit by Emetman. I'm prepping a 3RR report right now. Pinkadelica (talk) 02:13, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Content dispute? This is sockpuppetry and POV pushing at its finest. Have you ever taken this to ANI? I think with its history, more people should be aware of what these folk are doing. Pinkadelica (talk) 03:15, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

When you get a chance, could you weigh in on the talk page at the article? It has since been locked due to all the drama. I doubt we'll get much accomplished, but at least some admins are now aware of the situation. Pinkadelica (talk) 05:26, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

5W etc

No problem, I looked through some of your past troubles. As far as I am concerned once there is an established sock abuser, further abuse including repeating edits or edit patterns from the sock farm will just get blocked on sight. You don't need further use of check user for "obvious" cases. Let me or AN/I know if I miss any (but I will watch the article and pass through most days for a while). --BozMo talk 15:53, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

Your Reply

I appreciate your saying so, but you have to admit the coincidence in our initial encounters on Wiki and your interest in my firm since July. That said, I will leave it alone. I cannot edit that page because on that issue in particular, the COI can be seen as fairly high and truth be known, I don't see that issue as meriting the largest paragraph or the most ink - so to speak. This firm has been around for five years and has many accomplishments and even other clashes in the media. The Agri issue, aside from mention in the NY Times as part of the kosher/Jewish fight over the company, never got major press for the issue itself. It was exciting for the Jewish papers and for the trades that enjoy lashing at 5W, but MOSMOF, sockpuppeting on blogs is not a 5W invention (See John Mackay's Blog), nor does/will it end with 5W and most objective journalists knew that(Businessweek story on PR Firms being used for just that). It may be of interest to note that a writer for a quasi-entertainment-social blog that has a particular interest in my firm's CEO was at PR Week prior to this stint. The history goes back and the subjective coverage 5W gets there has to be seen in context. As for PRSA, well, when your CEO spends time writing and commenting on why the others are outmoded, what will a society of "colleagues" say - even about a practice that is more common that people may let on.

That said, there are many issues there that were not and could not be covered in the media, so a skewed version was put out there. Fact is, if you, JTA, Shmarya or anyone else actually wanted to spend money, they'd find that "207.237.137.37" is not and never was my home or office or anywhere I have access to.

I have always edited on Wikipedia with my name and affiliations. As a result, I opened myself up to COI attacks on articles in which I have no interest other than in the topic or personality. That is the ironic joke of some of the do-gooders on Wikipedia who think they are so wise. If I change my user name, no one would know, but I use it and all that I do is in question and editors can increase their edit counts with funky tags like COI and the like to seem as if they are diligent Wikipedians.

I hope to encounter you again under better circumstances. Juda S. Engelmayer (talk) 13:31, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Your comment on "Possibly unfree Image:11482i6.jpg"

"An image that you uploaded or altered, Image:11482i6.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree images because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the image's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the image description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Mosmof (talk) 23:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)"

I respectfully disagree with this assessment based on the following: - Copyright laws around the world do not discriminate between different forms of expression; ie. rules apply to the work regardless whether it is a picture or written words. - "Publications" from Thai government (or any government) can be of both written words and images; if Thai law specifically states that images are copyrighted separately than written words, it would have said so. - Thai government website which the image originated from has no indication that image contents are copyrighted separately than written contents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rgl168 (talk • contribs) 17:21, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Redirect

Hi there MOSMOF, VASCO here,

Is has happened again, and the first time you helped me.

There are two PIER (Spanish footballer) articles. The first has VIRTUALLY NOTHING (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_(footballer)) and the second, the one i edited is more or less complete (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pier_Luigi_Cherubino). Could you please (as i dont know how) remove one of them (the one that reads PIER (FOOTBALLER), keeping PIER LUIGI CHERUBINO)?

Thank you very much in advance,

From PORTUGAL, VASCO AMARAL - --217.129.67.28 (talk) 19:51, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about the persistent edits. I just now found the article you're talking about. Thing is, I checked out the WPS website several times before reverting, and those articles weren't there (they are now, and they're dated several days ago). I also googled the name and came up with nothing. Someone must be asleep at the switch on the WPS site. WeatherManNX01 (talk) 19:33, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

And naturally, as soon as I wrote that, I found the press release, buried in the "Team News" section. It is dated today, though. WeatherManNX01 (talk) 19:35, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

We'll all in strung-out shape, but stay frosty and alert

You've put up with most of the 5WPR abuse, but even used in jest, "flack" is considered disparaging. Getting under people's skin is just another tactic to distract attention from adhering to Wikipedia policy and instead try to turn the edits into personal vendettas or discrimination against 5W. And the heading isn't meant to be taken too seriously...just part of a quote from Aliens -my favorite movie. Flowanda | Talk 19:05, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Your comments make much better sense to me now. I didn't want you to think I was criticizing you, especially since you've been the target of most of the personal attacks without responding in kind. The talk page is at a point where these same complaints just need to reference earlier discussions, and I didn't want people not wanting to read through the extensive talk page history to assume acrimony where there is none.
