Correction to Quicksilver Times page

edit

Greetings,

Data point: the editor named was Paul Terence Becker. He could correctly be called Paul Becker Jr., as his father's first name was Paul, but Terry went by Terry and is probably best -- and most accurately -- styled as Terry Becker. Feel free to query me if you have additional questions.

Abusing multiple accounts: TRATTOOO


Decline reason: Thank you for reporting this sockpuppet acount. I would be happy to correct the problem by blocking it directly. If you have any other unblocked accounts, you don't need to request their blocking- just refrain from using them. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:08, 20 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Fafhrdrn1154 (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I am not Trattooo, if by "multiple accounts" FisherQueen means that Trattooo appears to have posted in the past from some of the same (or similar) IP addresses as some I have used. Trattooo to appears to be a local individual here in New York City who may have abused Wikipedia accounts while logging in through some more or less public IP addresses which I sometimes use as well (the New York Public Library, where I am posting from now, and a cybercafe-type place nearby where "Trattooo" has caused a Wikipedia block of all the rentable machines). The specific IP address I asked to have unblocked uses dynamic IP addressing from Verizon, and evidently (this is a presumption on my part) must overlap some dynamic IP address used by Trattooo in the past.

Trattooo appears to be a freelance writer and self-proclaimed ethicist (!) who lives here in New York City and logs in to Wikipedia and other places to post quotations from his own works, perhaps in an effort at self-promotion. I don't have any desire to be involved in this person's battles with Wikipedia admins in any way, and I am puzzled that my request for an unblock of an IP address (range?) led to my personal account being blocked.

Accept reason:

I see no evidence at all that you are TRATTOOO. Your editing history seems to have no similarity to TRATTOOO's. Everything seems to me consistent with what you say, so I have unblocked you and granted you IP block exemption. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:19, 22 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

  • You may have meant to request an unblock of an IP range, but what you actually did was request an unblock of this account (which at the time was not blocked), giving "Abusing multiple accounts: TRATTOOO" as your reason for unblocking. It looked very much like a mishandled attempt to request an unblock for TRATTOOO, which made no sense unless you were the same person. I guess that this was an innocent mistake, and I would simply unblock you if it were not for one doubt in my mind. Since you have an account which was not blocked, you should have been able to edit, so why were you trying to request an unblock for an IP range? If you can give a satisfactory answer to that then it will probably be reasonable to unblock you. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:54, 21 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I don't know if this account is a sock or not, but the IP he was editing from when he requested unblock is hardblocked, so he would not be able to edit even if he was logged in. I am unfamiliar with TRATTOOO. Still, from a purely technical aspect, I see no obvious evidence that this account is a sockpuppet. J.delanoygabsadds 02:10, 22 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
I appreciate your attention to this unblock request. I may well have bungled the original request to unblock the IP range; there was a text which read (more or less) "cut and paste this in your user page to request an unblock," and I did so. I was in fact unable to edit from this machine even when logged in. Fafhrdrn1154 (talk) 17:16, 22 January 2011 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned non-free image File:Freezing wraparound.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Freezing wraparound.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. 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 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 "file" 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 "File" from the dropdown box. 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.

License tagging for File:Young magazine 03 10 2014 cover.jpg

edit

Thanks for uploading File:Young magazine 03 10 2014 cover.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 22:05, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Replaceable fair use File:Still from "They Won't Forget" showing Lana Turner.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:Still from "They Won't Forget" showing Lana Turner.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the file description page and add the text {{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}} below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing <your reason> with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
  2. On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. xplicit 08:03, 28 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
