Dear KZ -- I have really been fascinated by your fantastic User:Kzrulzuall/Talk Header. I was hoping that I could use this as a template for my own talk header which would look like this. Is it possible I could use your header as a template for a header of my own? I'm not sure if this was custom made by you or if you could allow me to use a large portion of the code for a very similar looking one, so if you could get back to me I would be very grateful. (in the meantime I'm going to leave it off my talk page incase you will not allow me). MrMacMan 02:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

TV show screen shot fair use
Well the fair use of a television show is that you are allowed to use it on the article of the show in question.
Would you be so kind as to show me where it says that? I'd like to read that in more detail. If the subject of the show and the article in question is the same (e.g. John Edward) it seems to me that fair use would cover that usage in Wikipedia. Thanks! Dreadlocke☥ 06:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
"I made a mistake"? That's not very helpful - I need a little more infomation than that. To the way I read it, the part of that tag that says "or program and its contents" means the contents of the show, a major component of which is "John Edward", the host and subject of the show - it's a show about what he does. That seems to cover fair use of a screenshot in the article on Edward. This is what I need clarified. Dreadlocke☥ 19:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The thing is that it is still classified as fair use. That's the problem. It still wouldn't be classified as irreplaceable. You could put it on as the main image but i have a feeling it might be removed. --KZ Talk •Contribs 00:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, but what's the purpose of that when nothing is really irreplacable? I mean it's irreplacable as far as anything in my posession and I don't think anyone is going to come up with some personal shot of Edward. In the meantime, our encyclopedia is losing out on adding interesting shots that might cause our article's attraction of readers to go up a notch or two. Guess I could write Edward's people and ask for a publicity shot, but with the negativve nature of our article - I don't think I'd even try to ask them. So I guess the article will go pictureless as far as a header goes. Shame. Dreadlocke☥ 03:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

On your summary for this meditation you commented that the parties seemed to resolve. On a seperate, but related MEDCAB case, User:Skaraoke quit any form of WP mediation, writing, "Since participation in these mediation processes is voluntary, I will not participate in any more of them." I probably wouldn't say we resolved any situation related to the requested mediation you closed. - Freechild 12:35, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Forgive me for the misunderstanding, but I meant to say that since one party refused to mediate voluntarily, that the case had to be closed. And I just don't see what the fuss is all about... I'm pretty sure that if you and him refrain from editing related articles, the case will be solved. If you can't come up with a compromise, maybe try a community enforceable mediation?--KZTalk• Contribs 22:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eric Hunt was a self described neo nazi, who tried to abduct Ellie Weizel. He posted that information on a white supremecist message board. What is wrong with that? I would really like to know. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.74.70.152 (talk) 09:03, 9 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Hunt is a Holocaust denier who in recent weeks traveled to Florida in an unsuccessful attempt to confront Wiesel at a conference there, said Lt. Dan Mahoney, head of special investigations for San Francisco police. Hunt began following Holocaust denial organizations after graduating from college, and although he used the Internet to spread his beliefs, authorities believe Hunt acted alone.
He appears to be what we call a lone wolf, Mahoney said.
Five days after Wiesel was attacked, a man identifying himself as Hunt posted a detailed account of the crime on several anti-Semitic and anti-Israel Web sites. That account matched a description of the attack police provided a few days later. In the online post, Hunt said he cornered Wiesel, the author of more than 40 books based on his Holocaust experiences, to force him into admitting that the Holocaust never occurred.
On Feb. 6, an author identifying himself as "Eric Hunt" posted an article on an anti-Zionist blog registered in Australia. It stated he wanted to get a "confession" out of the "'Pope of the Holocaust religion,' Elie Wiesel," by taking him to a room at the Argent Hotel.
He said he had been stalking Wiesel for weeks for the opportune time to approach him.
The author of the article attempts to discredit Wiesel's most famous book, "Night," published in 1958, which gives a haunting first-person account of life under Nazi rule in the concentration camps.
"I had planned to bring Wiesel to my hotel room where he would truthfully answer my questions regarding the fact that his non-fiction Holocaust memoir, Night, is almost entirely fictitious," the posting read.
The author said he expected to either get a "confession," flee or be arrested.71.74.70.152 09:30, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi - anon user and I had a disagreement on a content issue, but anon seems to have blow things all out of proportion and has accused me of "energetic hatred", "admantine nastyness", "insist on having it his own way" and even accused me of calling him names! None of this is accurate, and I suspect the anon is using personal attack mode to try and get his way with the content issue. At this point I have backed off and won't make any further edits, but I was hoping someone could help moderate a little before things get out of hand? In fact most of the anons edits are good, but I see some changes that need to be made, but every time I make a change I get attacked with some very strong language. -- Stbalbach 23:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what you want me to do, the guy is uncivil, rude and making personal attacks, it has shut down any discussion on the talk page. If I go back and try to "settle the issue" it will just escalate a bad situation, communications are shut down by his incivility. A one or two sentence reminder of WP's rules on civility on his talk page by an admin would probably do wonders to get him to act more professionally. Anyway, maybe the anon has "gone away" it's been a few days I'll try to make an edit again and see what happens. -- Stbalbach 15:06, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kipper
So, you filed your comments without bothering to read any of the talk? You demand sourcing, but if you had read the talk you would see that I clearly already provided extensive sourcing, and that what Stbalbach keeps insisting on with absolutely no sourcing at all, is simply wrong. Why must all my sourcing now be repeated "below the line"? Why is pointing out the high-handed and dismissive language of Stbalbach, which he started right from the beginning, and continues, worthy of a stern warning against me, but he is permitted to keep reverting my absolutely factually backed-up edits with nasty comments, and that's OK? The material is simply, factually untrue, even as currently edited by you, and is in fact a health hazard, but to preserve Stbalbach's hurt feelings I have to simple stop editing the page? I'm bewildered. I started making edits to a page I actually know quite a bit about professionally, with perfectly solid 3rd part sources, and I was taking all this Wikipedia philosophy seriously, and yet I am treated like an incompetent leper. Consider it "incivil" of me, but man oh man, does Wiki make people feel like this is all about some in-crowd and a lot of cliques of editors and administrators, and nothing to do with accuracy or competence in the field. I've read a lot of criticism of Wikipedia in the press and online, and I thought it was all crazy, but geez, you try to make an article about food less harmful to people's health and because some Medieval historian has suddenly made kippers his religion, having apparently never set foot in a kitchen, you get slammed by the "government" of Wikipedia. What a way to completely turn off anybody with any actual expertise, and no agenda or "cause" to push, from ever wanting to get involved with Wikipedia.24.168.4.15 23:45, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm just trying to find a compromise that suits you both. Copy and paste the sources from above if you wish, and I will try to figure out a way to end the dispute. Remember that this is affecting others too, not just you.

Forget it. This has opened my eyes to what Wikipedia truly is when it comes to a reliable information source. The reputation and the negative press Wikipedia has gotten I'm begeining to think is richly deserved. Stbalbach can do whatever he wants to the article, and so can you. This is my last visit in any way, shape or form to Wikipedia since clearly I won't be permitted to contribute and whatever information I can offer is clearly unwanted. I think you and Stbalbach better hope that liability law never allows somebody who gets hospitalized or worse with clostridium botulinum to sue you and Stbalbach because of what was presented as reliable on Wikipedia. I don't have the energy to fight for what is blackletter accepted uncontroversial information anywhere else in the world. Have a nice day.24.168.4.15 00:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Once you have answered the questions, you may post your nomination for discussion, or request that your nominator do so.

You reported 2 accounts with "homoerectus" names to AIV as sockpuppets of Homoerectus 3000. One of them only made a single edit fixing vandalism and the other had never edited.

If you no longer like your sig, then definitely change it for that reason. (The suggestion that the "look" of a sig would reflect an admin's potential just struck me as a bad reason to change by itself.) One more thing I wanted to mention, try to keep your nomination up until it expires, since there are a lot of editors who haven't voted yet but still may (or may not, but one doesn't know until time runs out).

Hi there. As the user that issued the warnings, I can say that they were justified. The warned user keeps vandalising, blanking articles, accusing me of being a sockpuppet, made a personal attack on me, and makes unjustifiable actions. These warnings are completely justified.

Your not an admin, maybe you should stop messing with people's talk pages and then when they edit them back accuse them of blanking their own talk page?
