Information before delation of images

For your information I am the author of these paintings (both 06 Bozji plodovi 70x50 akrilik copy.jpg and 06 Ljudi na izlozbi.jpg), and I consider myself an artist. So I would like your help to keep these images in wikipedia since I think I will be needing them in the future, as well as for some future references about my artwork. What should I do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prof saxx (talk • contribs) 08:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Danity Kane

Towards the end about Aubrey's sexuality and the Playboy spread, that wasn't in the interview, which means what's showing up here is false facts. True, Dawn did said that she's still surprise--but she wasn't talking about Aubrey's business. Why are you trying to mess up the girls careers with false info?

Your recent image tagging

You seem to have marked a number of images uploaded by User:Johnlemartirao as not having source information, despite the images being tagged as having been self-created. Do you have a reason for this? --Carnildo (talk) 21:34, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

deletion of numeriklab

Hello. I'm hoping I can get the content from the numeriklab page that was deleted. I'd like to edit it and resubmit if possible. For full disclosure: I am co-owner of numeriklab but I believe a wikipedia page is relevant given the fact that numeriklab wrote the theme song to NCIS. NCIS is a very popular procedural crime drama with it's own wikipedia page. Or if someone could write an entry for numeriklab to avoid any conflict of interest. Your help is appreciated, thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nn1200 (talk • contribs) 20:58, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

70.145.18.192

You recently responded to an abuse report regarding the IP address 70.145.18.192. After you blocked the address in question, this edit was made to the user's talk page. Given this user's long history of abuse with respect to other Wikipedia editors, I don't understand why this user hasn't been permanently banned from editing. -FeralDruid (talk) 18:21, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Ah, never mind. I just looked at the user's block log, and see an expiry of one year. That's effectively a perma-ban in Internet time. -FeralDruid (talk) 18:57, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Full protection on Virgin Killer

I also do not like to full protect controversial articles. However a case where you have a very determined person with sleeper accounts to get past semi-protection I think it is indeed the correct decision. The enforcement of policy and the protection of Wikipedia from censorship require it.

Full protection of a controversial article is not to be taken lightly. In this case consensus benefits from it more than it suffers because in its prior state consensus was being ignored by a pov pusher and in this new state the community can use {{editrequest}} on the talk page to make changes. Not perfect, but the best alternative. Chillum 03:34, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

The person doing this has found a loophole in the system. To the best of my knowledge, it is not possible to protect an image within a page, since the ability to edit the text will also allow the image to be changed. There is a case for looking at whether Wikipedia's software could be modified to prevent this from happening.--♦IanMacM♦ ^{(talk to me)} 08:55, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm not a vandal, skier dude

Hi Skier Dude, I didn’t vandalize anything. Everything I wrote about seizures and the Epilepsy Foundation is completely true and verifiable. Just because you may be unaware of something doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Read the text of Buck vs Bell, then read the 1948 United Nations Declaration of Human Rights, and then please let me know why everyone should not be outraged that Buck vs Bell is still the law of the land 61 years after the Declaration. The reason it is still on the books is so that millions of American citizens can be denied their Human Rights, which is, by definition, a crime against humanity. I’m not very tech-savvy; if I could find someone who is, we could change the world, make the world safe for people who had a seizure. Innocent PHYSICALLY sick people in America are dying with their hands in chains, strapped facedown on a gurney. I’ve been beaten up by paramedics a couple of times, and it’s all because of Buck vs Bell, a law that would make the Nazis proud. Read it, Skier Dude. Martin Luther King certainly was correct when he said that nothing in all the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity, nothing personal intended. Skier Dude, do you think that the Founders intended that a person who suffers a devastating physical attack should be subject to immediate arrest, torture, and execution? I don’t either, buddy, but due to Buck vs Bell, they are. I’m sorry if I broke the rules, but as hard as it may be for you to believe right now, there is an 82 year long and counting American genocide against people who have a seizure, and I’m trying to stop it. The Declaration says that EVERYONE EVERYWHERE has the right to recognition as a person before the law. Buck vs Bell is an obvious violation of International Law. If you would like to help me get it overturned, a hundred million people worldwide would be grateful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.96.173.125 (talk) 13:59, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Check it out, Skier Dude, thank-you

Hi Skier Dude, please read this exchange I had with the Epilepsy Foundation, and then let me know if you still think I'm a vandal, thank-you, Steve -   From:Meadows, Kimberli [1]

Subject: Your Emails Regarding Buck vs Bell - According to the head of our Legal and Government Relations team, Buck v Bell was effectively overturned many years ago – and that subsequent case law giving women the right to choose replaces this position on mandatory sterilization by the state. The last state laws that allowed mandatory or forced sterilization of people with epilepsy or other conditions were repealed in the 1980s, and federal courts have also said around that time that no federal funds could be used to perform involuntary sterilizations. No mandatory sterilizations have occurred for many years. The Epilepsy Foundation’s legal advocacy committee was a part of the effort to overturn these laws. The Epilepsy Foundation is of course an independent charitable organization, not related to the federal government in any manner. Sincerely, Kimberli Meadows Kimberli A. Meadows Senior Director, Media and Public Relations Epilepsy Foundation 301-918-3747 www.epilepsyfoundation.org The head of your legal and government relations team is in error. Buck vs Bell has never been overturned. Buck vs Bell is the law of the land, cited as case law on a routine basis, an evil conspiracy of silence, as the head of your legal affairs dept.well knows. Ask Chief Justice Roberts, he'll tell you. Of course they don't sterilize people anymore, that would be too obvious. They don't burn people at the stake anymore either, now they taser them, lot of progress there, huh, but I am still a legal imbecile, 'incompetent" to make decisions regarding my life and my liberty, and a "danger to society." A person who had a seizure is no more dangerous than a person who had a heart attack is, ever. Like I said, send me millions of dollars from the steady stream of referrals you get from the Surgeon General and see if I can come up with something better in FIFTY years than "um excuse me, could you please only handcuff me in the front instead of behind my back when I'm already blue and choking and every muscle in my body feels like it just got hit by a train?" Read the 1948 United Nations Declaration of Human Rights Ms. Meadows, and then tell me why you don't spend all day long every day talking about the violations of it that the Surgeon General routinely commits 24/7. If you wanted to end discrimination, you would quit asking for the right to be handcuffed, and start demanding our natural right to equal treatment in public accommodations, as spelled out under the Civil Rights Act of 1875. The Epilepsy Foundation is of course not an independent charitable organization, it is a branch office of the Surgeon General. Tell your legal affairs head that a lot of dead people who had a seizure could explain to him the difference between "effectively " overturned and overturned, but they are of course, dead because of you, and don't talk to me as if I am some sort of an imbecile, ok? Have you ever had a paramedic's knee in your chest shouting senseless orders when you're already blue and choking, Ms. Meadows? Well I have and it is of course not very pleasant. It’s 2009, Epilepsy Foundation. Your not allowed to do this anymore: “911, what is your emergency? This guy is having a seizure!! Oh my God he’s turning blue, I think he’s going to die!!! (6 paramedics come busting in.) “WHO’S THE PRESIDENT? WHAT’S YOUR ADDRESS? WHO’S THE PRESIDENT? Human being says, “please leave me be. There is no cure. Please let me sleep. I’m so tired my head hurts so bad, I haven’t had a bad one like this in a long time please just let me sleep. I would rather get an mri at the clinic tomorrow for $500 than a $25,000 hospital bill please. please I’m so tired please let me sleep. (Paramedics put their knees in the person’s chest or back) YOU’RE NOT GOING ANYWHERE EXCEPT WITH US! DO YOU THINK WE’RE GOING TO HAVE TO BAKER ACT HIM? HE’S RESISTING!!! STOP RESISTING!! STOP RESISTING!!! WHO’S THE PRESIDENT? GET THE DEPUTIES IN HERE NOW! HE’S RESISTING!! WHO’S THE PRESIDENT??” From: Meadows, Kimberli [2] Sent: Monday, January 26, 2009 1:39 PM

(Skinner vs Oklahoma is often erroneously attributed as overturning Buck vs Bell, but Skinner vs Oklahoma referred only to prison inmates, and was not an overturning of Buck vs Bell.)

paroxetine

You protected paroxetine for a month because of "vandalism". Can you tell me which sentences you consider vandalism? There were links to valid references. The subject is controversial, but not the references or the statements. If you read through the talk page, you will find there are a number of people on both sides of this issue.

I'm sorry that you don't think that to not hurt and kill people is unimportant, Skier Dude. Also, I thought an encyclopedia meant a forum for knowledge, and that is what I'm trying to give. Have a nice day.

You did not answer my question. Why did you lock a page for an entire month without reading the discussion page?

Thanks

Thank you for the semiprotect on respiratory system. The page attracts a lot of high school attention of the destructive kind and that scares away serious editors of the academic kind. I see you set it to expire april 1 (odd that, ski season is not quite over yet ;-)) You might want to make it permanent because the high school attention is not likely to go away.
