=={{user|777a}}==
Hi, I noticed you've reverted a few edits by this user. I've run into this editor before under the guises of {{User|A67}} and {{User|A87}} who was banned for consistently uploading images without source information, and then repeatedly restoring them to articles from which they had been removed by orphanbot. I'm sure this is the same person as the account was created the day of or day after the previous accounts were permanently blocked.

This is just a "heads up" but also a request to keep an eye on them. They clearly have a lot to offer the project, but I can't fathom why they feel the need to proceed in such a disruptive manner. In some ways, actions like these are worse than vandalism, because at least that's funny and obvious and easy to revert, but something like this is a lot harder, and they keep re-registering under new accounts. What is so mind boggling is that they are going through a lot of effort to actually contribute, yet they seem to be unaware of just how hard they are making things for themselves and editors like me who try to keep some semblance of sanity in this place. Perhaps their first language isn't English, so hence don't understand the warnings being given, but I doubt it, given the coherence of their contributions. I am really baffled by this.

References Section

Hi, Could you please specifiy what you mean? A reference box, at the bottom of the page like in Romanian Land Forces or do you mean something else? noclador 20:58, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. Valentinian T / C 21:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the accolades Valentinian :-) I'll do a Ref section within this weekend. I know about the 3RR Rule... I think we could apply it now to user Gon4z, as he has done 5 reverts on each of the two articles Albanian Land Forces Command and the Military of Albania within the last 24 hours. I myself try to stay clear of this rule too- right now user MacGyverMagic, MrMacMan and I split the revert work between us three to keep under the 3RR limit. Also I contacted DAJ and administrator sven-steffen arndt from the German Wikipedia. DAJ is one of the German Military projects most active members and he wrote most the German article about the Albanian Military Albanische Streitkräfte. As user Gon4z writes he "can keep duing this (reverts) all day" I guess we need to find a solution, that will stop him,... although I doubt there is anything to stop him, as he even does not read the discussion posts we write. I emailed yesterday the NATO liaison office in Tirana, the General Staff of the Albanian Armed Forces and the Albanian Ministry of Defence, asking them to provide us with up to date information to post on Wikipedia. Today I received an answer from the NATO Liaison Office in Tirana: Lieutenant Evangelos Kokkalis, from OF - 1 (HE-A) NHQTi / PIO wrote, that I request “information which (he) doesn't have the authority to provide (me) with.” But he gave us 2 big compliments for the work we are doing :-)
So, now we will just have to wait for the answer of the Albanian General Staff, as all other sources Gon4z does not accept, as he saw all these numbers on Albanian TV on April 17th (first version) or got them all from his Albanian Army Colonel uncle “second version”…
Anyway- enough for today, I will do a bit more work on the Chilean Army tonight and start working on Croatia in the next days. best regards noclador 21:47, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Danish actors

I have created a number and will create many articles on dnaish films and actor swhich are on danish wikipedia. Some need translation . Please translate the danish ones in Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation thankyou . Hope you are well ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 14:06, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm fine, but I don't have the time to go through a ton of articles, and I don't think other Danes here have that amount of time either. Please don't do this. Valentinian T / C 15:48, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Who said anything about tons of articles there are only a few. You disappoint me that your project cannot be bothered to help on my articles related to Denmark. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 11:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

As for saying that me creating articles like Otto Brandenburg which clearly have so much potential "please don't do this" I find that very ungrateful and quite offesnsive that my efforts are not appreciated ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 12:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

For instance what is the problem with e.g Buster Larsen? ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 12:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Yes, they are only a few at the moment, but you are known for making a very large number of articles in a very short time, and da:Kategori:Danske skuespillere is very big, so I don't wish to see a situation with 200 Danish articles getting deleted. I don't own WP:DK but I am the most active member, and to the best of my knowledge the most active Danish editors are all somewhat strapped for time. Would I like to see a bigger number of Danish editors and more active ones? I would, but the number of hands is currently rather small - and this has been the case for a very long time.

Unspecified source for Image:Ostad Elahi 1.jpg

I don't thnk the image tag is correctly placed. Please check. DenizTC 15:48, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Nicely spotted all three images of him seem to be incorrectly tagged. However, Iran's copyright law seems rather liberal, so I presume {{PD-Iran}} applies since this person was a publicly known figure. I've replied on your talk page. Valentinian T / C 08:27, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
But the source seems to be a ostadelahi.com website, which is NYC-based [1]. Do the US laws apply or the Iranian ones (or the ones less/more restrictive)? DenizTC 21:56, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I hadn't noticed that intricacy. My guess would be that Iranian law prevails. In U.S. law, the scanning process doesn't give an additional copyright. I've asked a U.S. editor to take a look. If I remember correctly, he knows more about images than me. Regards. Valentinian T / C 22:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Elahi never left Iran, so when the photograph was taken in Iran, Iran laws are followed (since that is where the photo is taken). Since it has been over 30 years since the photograph was taken in Iran, the copyright has expired and PD-Iran is the correct tag. User:Zscout370 (Return Fire) 23:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for the help. Valentinian T / C 23:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Abdullah al-Ruzami and Yahia Badreddin al Houthi

Thanks for stub-sorting Abdullah al-Ruzami and Yahia Badreddin al Houthi, articles which I recently started. Perspicacite 21:29, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. Good luck with them and welcome to Wikipedia. Valentinian T / C 12:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Valentinian. An automated process has found and removed an image or media file tagged as nonfree media, and thus is being used under fair use that was in your userspace. The image (Image:DK-Minoritetspartiet-logo.jpg) was found at the following location: User:Valentinian/Sandbox. This image or media was attempted to be removed per criterion number 9 of our non-free content policy. The image or media was replaced with Image:NonFreeImageRemoved.svg , so your formatting of your userpage should be fine. Please find a free image or media to replace it with, and or remove the image from your userspace. User:Gnome (Bot)-talk 00:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It is a link, it is not used on the page, so fair use is not an issue here, bot. Have a nice day. Valentinian T / C 01:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Serbia-politician-stub and Algeria-politician-stub

Just wanted to let you know that I just found some unstubbed short Serbian politician articles and the count is now up to 67. I also, Algeria-politician-stub has 40 and is upmerged.--Thomas.macmillan 04:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I don't see a reason to wait with the category, so I've created Category:Serbian politician stubs right away. Valentinian T / C 09:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Chechen people

I will certainly change the parent cat. I was guessing what it would be based on the permcat's parents, but I'm really glad you checked on it. Cheers, Her Pegship (tis herself) 22:33, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
