More photos for aces

{{PD-SDASM}} Hello,

For whatever obscure whim, I returned to Flickr and found another bunch of World War I pilots. If you would care to insert these into articles, here's the list:

Fritz Beckhardt = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091917878/in/photostream/

Josef Mai = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091917544/in/photostream/

Hantlemann is third from left @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091917470/in/photostream/

Gustav Dorr = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091911985/in/photostream/

Heinrich Kroll = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091911761/in/photostream/

Oskar Hennrich = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091911397/in/photostream/ Karl Bolle = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091911101/in/photostream/

Otto Schmidt = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091911075/in/photostream/

Erik Thomas = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091916220/in/photostream/

Adolf von Tutschek = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091910225/in/photostream/

Otto Parschau = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091910211/in/photostream/

Friedrich von Roeth = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091915434/in/photostream/

Hans Muller (later Hans Garrelt) = http://www.theaerodrome.com/aces/germany/muller1.php

Rudolf Berthold = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091913128/in/photostream/

Hans Berr = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091907755/in/photostream/

Hans von Adam = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091907583/in/photostream/

Hans-Joachim Buddecke (in Ottoman uniform) = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091907541/in/photostream/

Friedrich Manschott = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091912652/in/photostream/

Karl Allmenroeder = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091912566/in/photostream/

Karl Thom = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091907169/in/photostream/

Gustav Leffers = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091912402/in/photostream/

Max Ritter von Mueller = http://www.flickr.com/photos/sdasmarchives/8091907019/in/photostream/

Incidentally, Beckhardt's photo was misidentified as Hermann Gilly, so I removed it from the Gilly article. However, as Gilly never flew a Siemens-Schuckert D.IIInor had a personal insignia of a swastika, it is obviously a (poor) photo of Beckhardt.

I hope you will post these, as I seem to be moderately hopeless at the task.

File:Boelckeo.JPG

Please remember that you are "indefinitely prohibited from uploading images or other media files to the English Misplaced Pages." (from your Misplaced Pages:Editing restrictions). Your upload of a new version of File:Boelckeo.JPG is a violation of that restriction. Fram (talk) 14:58, 19 November 2013 (UTC)

Take it to Arbitration, I do not see adjusting the contrast of an existing image as a violation. Thank you for your concern. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:20, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

I have no ambition to get you blocked for this. I don't think it is a smart move to test the boundaries of your restrictions though. Doing such things too often or too blatantly will get you blocked again, and for a longer time, and also reduce your chances of getting the restrictions lifted or modified. Fram (talk) 15:32, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Arbitration enforcement is not meant to be a punishment, it is designed to remedy a specific problem, which was uploading questionable content. If content is already vetted, and I adjust the contrast, it is not a violation of that restriction. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:37, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

No, our policies are meant to prevent copyright violations. Restrictions are meant to save people the effort of having to check every edit an editor makes to see whether it violates our policies. "You are not allowed to upload questionable content" (or "to link to copyright violations", and so on) are policies which apply to everyone. "You are not allowed to upload any files" is a restriction which is much more strict, and which only applies to you. Claiming that if an upload (or article creation, or whatever) doesn't violate our policies, it should be allowed, is ignoring your restrictions. Fram (talk) 15:45, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Then take it to arbitration, so it can be made clearer. I can see that it is bothering you greatly, so have it cleared up. I do not see it as a potential copyright violation. You certainly are the Javert of Misplaced Pages. So please take it to arbitration. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:57, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Please keep your personal attacks to yourself. If I thought this was a copyright violation, you would have been at arbitration enforcement. I said that it was a restriction violation. I can't help you if you can't see the difference between those two. Fram (talk) 22:23, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

You also see personal attacks when there are none ... --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 05:47, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Comparing people to fictional characters who are described in the novel as "a fanatic" and " was to be pitied, as is every ignorant man who triumphs." and by critics as "He is "one of the most tragic legalists in Western literature" and "the consummate legalist"." is a personal attack. That " finds himself unable to reconcile his life's work pursuing criminals with the nobility and justice shown him by the man he thought was a criminal, and takes his own life by jumping off a bridge into the river Seine." (as our article describes it) only makes it worse. Fram (talk) 08:00, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

You do seem to me to be a somewhat fanatical legalist. Fanatical in watching my every edit. Legalistic in declaring that altering the contrast of an existing image is a violation of the ban and that restoring someone else's edit is a copyright violation. You are looking for a "gotcha" moment to get me permanently blocked, I would say the moniker is apt. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 03:16, 5 December 2013 (UTC)

"Died on birthday" lists

Hi Richard, I'm trying to work on the MfD backlog. Are you intending to maintain User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )/List of people who died on their birthdays as well as User:Richard Arthur Norton (1958- )/Death on Birthday? Also pinging Buddy431, whose User:Buddy431/List of people who died on their birthdays is at MfD but may be inactive. Obviously, if the intent is to try such a list in mainspace again, it makes sense to maintain one of these lists collaboratively. If the intent is to keep them in userspace indefinitely, I'm afraid I have to agree that the pages should be deleted. --BDD (talk) 21:08, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

I was migrating raw data from "List" to "Death" and I am not sure I finished all the data. I will work on it more and delete the ones migrated from the old list and then have just one version. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:19, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. This may be worth mentioning at the MfD. --BDD (talk) 21:31, 8 January 2015 (UTC)

Arbcom amendment request

Your amendment request has been declined by the committee.

AFD Catherine Uhlmyer & Adella Wotherspoon

I see that these articles you created have been around for a while, but unfortunately I don't think they meet the WP:ONEEVENT criteria for notability and have nominated them both for deletion at: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Catherine Uhlmyer. AHeneen (talk) 18:51, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

polo player userpage

Can you please add in-line references for the early life and personal life sections?Zigzig20s (talk) 22:03, 20 February 2015 (UTC)

OK I've moved it. Good job. Do let me know if you want to work on other polo players (especially more recent ones?).Zigzig20s (talk) 21:46, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring. Thank you. – Robin Hood  21:42, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

Fiona Graham

Hi Richard, re: the report on RfPP, you've been reverting a lot to restore that birth year. It might be best to leave it out until a wider consensus forms, especially as it might be the subject removing it, and you don't know which year is correct. Best, Sarah (SV) 02:29, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Can you cite some actual Misplaced Pages policy that says 5 - 1 = 0? You are using the fallacy of false equivalency as your argument. The subjects of articles do not get to override Misplaced Pages policy. They want the publicity of being in Misplaced Pages and also want to be the editors and remove what they do not like. You cannot have it both ways. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 03:11, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Incomplete longevity claims

I think you're thinking of the content at Longevity myths or List of people reported to have lived beyond 130 (I don't know why 130). If the content was fleshed out (mythology, rumors, issues with inability to determine time properly) with actual secondary sources, I think the "incomplete" content could be merged into the myths article. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:40, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

Malcolm Orme Little

Yes. I checked with Laffaye. "Malcolm Little, 9th Lancers."Zigzig20s (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Added Lawley as well, for which Laffaye is explicit. The one I am unsure about is Thomas Hone for now.Zigzig20s (talk) 21:57, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you. If you'd like to expand Tommy Biddle, feel free to do so btw.Zigzig20s (talk) 23:40, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Are you interested in helping me out with more recent polo players like Nina Clarkin as well please? Also, it looks like Tommy Biddle's father also went by the same name, which is very confusing.Zigzig20s (talk) 17:52, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:W. C. Fields (ca. 1940).jpg

Thanks for uploading File:W. C. Fields (ca. 1940).jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:27, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Orson Desaix Munn I, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Posthumous (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

JDR Parkway

Hi Richard. I was in discussion with several other users about the naming of the John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Parkway and we all agreed that no comma might be better, though I also agree that our naming convention should match offical naming done by the entities that manage things. You may wish to add discussion at Talk:John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Memorial Parkway and/or at the MOS discussion.--MONGO 01:26, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Programmability of Colossus computer

Back in November 2012 you changed the description in the lead of this article from "was at all programmable" to "was programmable". I wasn't entirely happy with that, but let it be whilst I investigated further. Colossus is described by some as programmable, by others as "semi-programmable", and some deny that it was programmable in any modern sense. The way that it was set up to perform a particular task was by operating switches and plugging on a patch panel. I therefore plan to return to the "at all" wording and hope that you won't disagree. --TedColes (talk) 09:32, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

As written I have no idea what "at all programmable" means. It just sounds like poor grammar. Can't you think of a way to phrase it where it has some meaning to someone who is not involved with the debate. Can't you just say "programmable". --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:36, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
