Pure vandalism by IPs

Pure vandalism by IPs, as with , warrants a much longer block than 15 minutes. The reason for short blocks with IPs is if the IP changes. 15 minute blocks were only ever appropriate for AOL because of its proxy system. 24 hours is the more usual block time for IP vandalism. —Centrx→talk • 05:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I selected the wrong setting, thanks for catching that. HighInBC 05:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay. I just thought you might have been being too timid or following some absurdly minute block length progression. —Centrx→talk • 06:29, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I am a patient man, but not that patient. HighInBC 15:26, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Sword of Christ

• This conversation is in reference to HighInBC 20:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I meant to indef block him. No idea what happened for it to fail. - Mgm| 19:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

• I knew I blocked him. (see here). No idea why it isn't showing up when you look at the block log on the blocking page. - Mgm| 19:37, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Hmm just a database oddity, thanks. HighInBC 20:10, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

chess piece photo, again

• This conversation is in reference to Image:JaquesCookStaunton.jpg HighInBC 01:18, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I have been corresponding to the owner of the image of the chess pieces that I uploaded and you deleted. I told him about the three things needed. He was OK with the first two, but unsure about #3 (permission to use in any manner). Now he is OK with that too, if he gets credit. Since giving credit is one of the rights that can be reserved, I think it now all OK. If you think it is OK, I'll upload it again. (or you can undelete it, right?) Bubba73 (talk), 21:23, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

That sounds perfect, you can put a copy of the your coorespondence on the talk page for reference, and for a license choose Creative Commons Attribution. Once uploaded, put the person's name under the license like this Attribute to: <name>. And all should be good.

Thank you for liberating that wonderfull image. HighInBC 21:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Can I take email addresses out of the messages, for privacy? Bubba73 (talk), 21:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

You can take yours out. The person releasing the rights need to be contactable. If you want to keep his addess a secret, you can send the permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and they will post a message on the image saying it is confirmed. Just mention on the image page that permission was sent to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. The information will be kept confidential per Misplaced Pages's Privacy Policy(link at very bottom of page). HighInBC 21:35, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've done that. I sent the permission correspondence to that adress. I selected GFPL or something like that. If I had selected that it was OK for educational use but not commercial use, would that have been OK? Bubba73 (talk), 22:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

If you had selected a restriction to commercial use then it would be deleted. That option is only there because we want contributors to be choose the correct one instead of choosing another one becuase the real on is not on the list. Keep up the good work. HighInBC 22:21, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I re-added the images to the articles it was on before. HighInBC 22:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Marc Lepine & User talk:66.82.9.61

• This conversation is in reference to HighInBC 01:17, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your note at User talk:66.82.9.61, I probably was a little harsh, but to be honest, I was trying to be (I am deliberately referencing our last encounter, with User:Ring modulator ;)...The need for diffs comment is totally accurate however and received -- I should have provided diffs. However, if you look at the history, vandal warnings might have been more appropriate, except, as its a dynamic IP I didn't want to just post a textbook-style warning and not have it received by the right editor. My involvement in the issue was as a result of a "help me" posted on a new users' page and when I evaluated the situation, I really felt like strong words and actions were appropriate. The page is currently semi-protected after my request WP:RPP, which I think is also appropriate. Please feel free to bang me a note if there's a way you think I could have handled the situation better -- I'm trying to tread the fine line between AGF and "stop this nonsense right now!". Cheers Dina 21:46, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

So sorry, I was ambiguos in my statement. I was not refering to you very valid comments, but was talking to the user about the comment left on your talk page. Sorry about the misunderstanding, I have made a mention of this on the IP's talk page too to avoid further misunderstanding. HighInBC 21:57, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

oooooh, got it. Well, I didn't provide diffs either, so its a fair cop for me as well. I was a little confused, but I have it now. Thanks! You seem to have my back quite a lot, and I appreciate it. Dina 22:13, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Part of keeping the place clean means being unpopular, gotta look out for the good one's. HighInBC 22:14, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

It was actually your actions in the little User:Ring modulator kerfuffal (Happy thanksgiving! (neighbor to the north who doesn't celebrate the holiday...it was rather funny to wake up on a holiday to his addition to my talk page -- it made me laugh out loud) that made me support your RFA. I feel we're on the same page, so I hope that if you ever do have an issue with something I do or say, you'll know that I take it seriously and bring it to me directly. LOL, as a bit of constructive critcism, you do need to learn to "thread" a bit better ;) Dina 22:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

That got a laugh out of me, yes I should have put up a header and mabye refered directly to the person, that is for certain. Oh, and we do have a Canadian Thanksgiving, just on a different day. HighInBC 22:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I think I like your holiday better, ours is so conflicted. Though I know we share ancestry/responsibility when it comes to screwing the native peoples' of this land. I re-edited the above to be more clear -- that was a big reason I supported your RFA, I thought you handled the whole thing really well. Dina 22:33, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Last change

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but please stop threatening to ban me. Perhaps you need to look at my conversation with riana_dzasta as you may be talking about something that's been cleared up already. Or maybe the drugs are just affecting your brain. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.216.188.161 (talk • contribs) 17:23, December 1, 2006 (UTC)

I am refering to this, please do not vandalize pages. HighInBC 01:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for noticing. You should assume good faith; while my choices may not all be correct I'm trying to improve this source of public knowledge, like most everyone else here. 71.216.188.161 01:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

We should both assume good faith, you are very right. HighInBC 01:49, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Apologies for that little situation. I'm not even sure where the anon found the banned template, but I think he understands now. The edit to your page was most definitely vandalism, the ohter one I'm not so sure about. Confusing, it all is. riana_dzasta 16:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I have a few guesses at how the anon found the banned template, but I will assume good faith instead. hehe. HighInBC 16:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

D'oh! riana_dzasta 18:14, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

lol, Misplaced Pages makes me laugh more than any other website. HighInBC 18:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

88.218.32.232 (talk · contribs)

The IP who left the comment on my talk page was User:Mywayyy, who dislikes me because I got him banned. However, because he's been editing in the same disruptive manner since he was blocked, the only thing I can do is revert & block. Khoikhoi 06:00, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Sounds like a good plan. HighInBC 14:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: Royal Theatre (Victoria)

Thanks for the pic Ryan. No hurry with the other one(s), perhaps when You do go there, then take several pics (see Vancouver International Airport), and remember a bird view photo is a must ;-) . Also if You like then put them straight to commons? Again thanks, feydey 17:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Ya I should put them on commons instead. HighInBC 17:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Image:Orion_Nebula_-_Hubble_2006_mosaic_18000.jpg

FYI, a Commons user repeatedly tagged the Orion images as "non-commercial", based on the default terms associated with ESA Hubble images; he didn't seem to accept the argument that ESA's website says it's copyright-free. Since the tag would have qualified it for speedy deletion, I moved it to Deletion requests to get the question more deliberate consideration. --Davepape 17:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I have given my opinion on this, thanks for saving such a valuable image from speedy deletion. HighInBC 17:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism of my user page

Please do not vandalize my user page. I am also a BC resident and I am sick of all you damn potheads. If I was in power I'd round you all up and shoot you like to horrible animals you are. I'd make Hitler & Stalin look like cartoon characters!

Fuck you, you worthless peice of shit.
