See: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard&diff=prev&oldid=245039180 The relevant tag to be removed from the entries in the DR mentioned that are struck thru would be :- <nowiki> {{delete|reason=During enquires into the status of Rail Alphabet and BR double arrows logo, an e-mail back from the National Archives, raised concern that the Transport typeface and certain related materials might not be Crown Copyright (with respect to additional design rights), despite them appearing on a large number of road signs in the UK, and being practically ubiquitous. This nomination is thus on the precautionary principle unless someone higher up then me is willing to to get an official OTRS from the Department of Transport and National Archives. |subpage=Files in Category:SVG road signs in the UK|year=2017|month=May|day=22}}

I don't think this picture is allowed on Wikipedia since this has been taken off of Instagram. It doesn't say anywhere on her Instagram that the pictures she uploads are ok for reuse or anything. Plum3600 (talk) 17:52, 8 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Question edit

Hello, I'd just need to know : is there a problem with this ticket ? Thanks, JJ Georges (talk) 08:13, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Not that I'm aware of. I handled a related OTRS ticket and have been keeping an eye on the -en article. I saw the {{Otrs pending}} tag, found the ticket, and updated the page. Primefac (talk) 11:54, 25 September 2017 (UTC)Reply

Neptune's Trident edit

Neptune's Trident is topic banned from editing GamerGate topics "broadly construed". He was previously blocked for two months per AE request for violating that topic ban, including editing en:Vox Day. He has again violated that topic ban in this edit.

Old grudges? edit

How's life, Primefac? So, it has come to my attention—

Okay, before you ask, no, I don't roam Wikipedia with my blocked account. I have created a new account on Wikipedia, in total violation of WP:EVADE, and I am happily editing with it. Find me, if you can.

So, it has come to my attention, that the new way of blocking people on English Wikipedia is accusing them of being Codename Lisa's sockpuppet. And the latest victim was called "following dreams". But just out of curiosity, when you wrote "the digging up of curious old grudges", what exactly did you mean? Fleet Command (talk) 12:26, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply

Interesting that you darken my metaphoric doorstep when I neither blocked nor made the comment you quote. Hell, I didn't even know Lisa was socking until Flowing was blocked. Primefac (talk) 13:48, 31 October 2019 (UTC)Reply
Because you filed the SPI report. The natural conclusion is that you of everyone else, believed the accusations were true. Just FYI, Codename Lisa was never "socking"; I know her in real life. When she left, she left for good. She and most people won't come picking up whatever imaginary old grudges after one year and five months, especially since Codename Lisa wouldn't hold them in the first place. Fleet Command (talk) 05:38, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
I filed the report because I didn't believe it, but I've also been around long enough to know that supposed socks should be reported. If this is a smear campaign, then it started long before I filed the paperwork. Primefac (talk) 09:48, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply
Very well. I suppose I will NOT know the answer to my question by lingering here any longer. But you filled the paperwork wrongly; the burden of proof is on the accuser. You just encouraged your colleagues to choose the easy course of action instead of the right one. (Forget what I said. It's not your fault; at least, not your fault alone. Some of us have long forgotten who is the enemy and why we do what we do. Or why we have WP:IAR and WP:GAME. Sorry for bothering you. On the plus side, I think our boy Flowing Dreams is cured of celebrity worship for ever.) Fleet Command (talk) 13:38, 1 November 2019 (UTC)Reply

Your eye may be helpful edit

Hi, I have pinged you at COM:VP#Mass DR of sexuality WLC about an account exhibiting the same behaviours that had them banned on en.wp, noting here as pings don't always work after reindenting discussion. Your view may be useful. Thanks -- (talk) 21:19, 29 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

Not really sure what you'd like me to comment on; there definitely appears to be an implication that you and the mysterious list-sender are the same person, but at the same time it could just as easily be read "someone said X on the list, and Users A and B used the same argument on COM" which doesn't really make a connection. It's borderline, and it's what WLC does best, but since I'm not an admin here I don't think I can go much further than that. Primefac (talk) 15:27, 30 January 2020 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for the compliment? You misread the discussion, though. The mailing list author is against what they call the "faux anti-censorship trope" of claiming a file is "in use" to reject deletion attempts. Fae uses the "in use" argument frequently (and incorrectly). There is not even a "Users A and B used the same argument on COM" connection.

Copyright violation...? edit

You state I am violating a copyright because the image was FOUND ON A WEBSITE!!!!

On a conflict of interest edit

This in regards to my ban So here is the chronology of events in regards to what has been going on Relevant Links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Arabid_slavery https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:IAskWhatIsTrue https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_talk:Arabid_slavery https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Arabid_slavery&action=history https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Arabid_slavery&oldid=1124882050 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Elias_Ziade#Your_submission_at_Articles_for_creation:_Arabid_slavery_(December_2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#Draft:Arabid_Slavery

Chronology event 1: Editor IAskWhatIsTrue  begins a multi-day project of drafting a new article with sound sources and up to the standards of wikipedia Draft: Arabid Slavery 

Chronology even 2 An editor known as elias called stumbles upon the new draft (mentioned elias explains how elias came to find the draft here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Elias_Ziade). elias, the conflict of interest editor decides , with a conflict of interst, to go and add false info box claiming the sources were invalid or bad, that the info was a "hoax" even though it was an article on a clear historical phenomenon being drafted (in edit here:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:Arabid_slavery&oldid=1124882050) . All of this was untrue. The sources upon investigation one will find are SOUND VALID up to wikipedia standard sources and refers to information were a large bulk already appears on wikipedia for example the articles on josephus, vespasian, ect A conflict of interest is defined as the following A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s personal interests – family, friendships, financial, or social factors – could compromise his or her judgment, decisions, or actions in some other responsibility. Okay so elias here has individual person interests - his brothers and relatives are all arabid- they trace their ancestry back to all arbaids- their friends are arbaid- social factors their race is arabid- So go into the history of the arbaid slavery draft, you’ll see all their decision behvairo in step 2 chronology of events and later action were not in the interests of building an encyclopedia (link), it was in the interests of his race ( arabid family, arabid, race, arabid friends, arabid ethnicity, ect. Are arabid) and NOT to build an encyclopedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Here_to_build_an_encyclopedia)or what is in the broad interests of the wikipedia users the population ect. - the goal was to sabotage the publication of the article in the hopes that it would not get published

Chronology event 3: IAskWhatIsTrue realizes that elias might become a persistent vandlalizer or disruptive editor, in which IAsKWhatIsTrue’s suspicions turned out correct ( see step 4 of the chronology of events here) So IasKWhatIsTrue, not knowing about the conflict of interest noticeboard existed (cause IAskWhatIsTrue is a new user), went into the drafted talk page (where he was and is the only real writer of this draft) to make clear to future people stumbling upon the page that Elias had gone in and done via a conflict of interest vandalizing or, where eliases claims are completely unfounded that there was bad sources, confusion, hoax, ect. Rather the concept of arabid slavery is well-documented throughout time and on many, many wikipedi apages which is proven via many internal links on the drafted - thus obviously the subject of the article commonsense is no hoax
Chronology event 4: A day or two later, elias reliazes that IAskWhatHasTrue has gone and deleted elias’s vandalizing and hoax infobox. So Elias re-adds a new hoax info box, again in the same spirit of vandalism and conflict of interst . Then subsequently elias decides to submit the article for approval, in the hopes that the article would get flagged. the hopes of elias in adding that infobox and submitting it is so that a reviewer might try to delete or somehow flag the article, ect- in other words to cause trouble on wikipedia Elias’s true intentions was to get the draft flagged, possibly deleted, possibly get some sort of roadblocks put in the way, for example trigger someone into deleting the draft, deleting its photos, ect. 

Chronology event 5: Elias then passive aggressively, and underhandedly in posting an image on IAskWhatHasTrue talk page a picture of a food gift , post, hiding his true intents to sabotage, pretending it was a good faith submission, probably in what elias thinks falsely is a sly underhanded/backhanded comment or snark. Ie the passive aggressiveness was to post the picture of the image , as if to say , “here, a gift for you” where passive aggressively the “gift” was really to try to mess with the drafting process and possible sabotage the drafting and future publication of the draft. The truth of the nature of elias was spoken of by FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me, the initial reviewer who accused Elias of "If you are placing a HOAX banner on the draft why have you submitted it. That is tantamount to disruptive editing" Editor Fiddle faddle reviews and declines to publish it. This is not IAskWhatHasTrue the original drafters and only one writing fault, because IAskWhatHasTrue didn’t even submit it for review and hadn’t even finished it and had no intentions whatsoever to - rather it was elias who had done two back-to-back edits in which the first was to add a false info box claiming the subject was a hoax was added by conflict of interest editor elias and then subsequently submitted for review to publish (and clearly elias is false and wrong here since arabid) As you can see Elias is the one who started it all, with a major conflict of interest, in step 2. IaskwhatISTrue was not aware that a conflict of interest functionality notice board existed, but then upon latter recommendation from someone else filed an official complaint due to the clear conflict of interest. A conflict of interest is defined as the following A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s personal interests – family, friendships, financial, or social factors – could compromise his or her judgment, decisions, or actions in some other responsibility. Okay so elias here has individual person interests - his brothers and relatives are all arabid- they trace their ancestry back to all arabids- their friends are arabid- social factors their race is arabid- So go into the history of the arbaid slavery draft, you’ll see all their decision behavior and action was not in the interests of building an encyclopedia, it was in the interests of his race ( arabid family, arabid, race, arabid friends, arabid ethnicity, ect. Are arabid) and NOT to build an encyclopedia or what is in the broad interests of the Wikipedia users the population ect. I did not make a racial attack in which has been refered in the context to by any of the editors who’ve commented on this- -elias perceives a racial attack cause elias perceives this entire article existing as an attack- thus in a violation of Wikipedia's conflict of interest elias goes and writes false comments and prematurely submits a draft knowing that it would be declined and draw attention- which it did. In bad faith, elias then passively aggressively posts on talk page a picture of a gift, as an underhanded passive aggressive dig, pretending to be acting as a friend, but in elias’s mind (but falsely) slylng passively aggressively post when the true intentions behind elias actions was to sabotage, when in actuality elias’s intentions was to sabotage the article by prematurely submitting it before it was finalized and attaching false info boxes that the article In the context of the ban I got (which was supposed to go to Elias), I don't see any conversation whatsoever if editor elias's comments like 1) bad sources 2) hoax 3) confusing because they're not valid - elias's actions - they exist for ulterior motives Cmon really- that arabids were taken slave in history was a HOAX?? that's what this editor elias was claiming, simply flaging this info box in hopes that someone would see it and interfere with publication of the article which I had not finished. Was Flasheood: bad sources The "silliness” is that is mentioned by Oversight member Primefac 14:03, 2 December 2022 Primefac talk contribs changed block settings for IAskWhatIsTrue talk contribs with an expiration time of 13:17, 11 December 2022 (account creation blocked, cannot edit own talk page) (Personal attacks or harassment, pulling TPA and extending due to excessive talk page silliness) A clear conflict of interest is apparent and yet for reasons - there clearly exist on editor elias a conflict of interest - and to even discuss this racial conflict of interest race is going to mean race will be brought up - and yet the silliness is that someone(s) is saying race is not to be discussed - and yet how is the racial conflict of interest to even be discussed… - this is the projective silliness amongst the editors who do not understand that there is and the wrong person was blocked (in other words elias was at fault, not the editor known as IAskWhatIsTrue who is the chief writer of the article Arabid slavery ) The other component of the silliness is msot of the editors - are spoken of highly in the article – as many of the people mentioned such as Vespasian was - the editors are of the same ethnicity as vespasian and not say josephus who was in the article had a relationship- where elias is the race of josephus and this is of which elias on their own accord went and edited conflict of interst when IAskWhatIsTrue was minding thier own business in terms of drafting the draft for the article and didn’t reach out to elias, elias on their brown (as explained on elias’s talk page link here) stumbled upon the article and sought to interfere with its writing - and the silliness is that the editors are all similar to vespasian in racial heritage - and yet for reasons side towards the person with the conflict of interest (elias) towards biased and false and conflict of interest edits -with the article’s writer whose written a clear article with clear valid sources rather they choose to side with editor elias who has a clear conflict of interst in giving unfounded “hoax” boxes and else due to a conflict of interst as mentioned here- and there are reasons IaskWhatIsTrue knows as to why all these editors seek to side despite them being Vespasian and NOT Joeshpus I won’t say what those reasons are Then the additional silliness is that I am called “silly” or a “troll” by certain editors, who claim that I am launching personal attacks, and yet it is they who launch attacks against me , and this is why they want to project “silliness” onto me Elias perceives the entire article as an personal attack- that is why all their bannable behavior is explained via a conflict of interest in which they don't want the article to approve, various impediments - ect. The silliness is that the article’s content is all widely known already from deep intuitive standpoint and yet editors are caught up in the false idea that the approval or banning of me is symbolic for a wider issues not simply on Wikipedia- some sort of thing might be described as public information availability or something in terms of this- and yet the silliness of it all is all this info is widely known as well So all the editors seem to want to call me “silly”, but that is a projection ‘“Bad faith” was elias’s decision o submit an article knowing it was not ready, elias knowing they had misrepresented the article ahs containing hoax information or bad sources, confusing, ect - while none of this was true and nothing could be brought to table cause the articles writing and source materials were well -sourced - all due to a conflict of interest IAskWhatIsTrue (talk) 08:05, 4 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

I do not know what you think this will accomplish. In addition to posting it on-wiki at various noticeboards, you have also emailed the same content to both myself and the Oversight team, and no one has found great need to do anything about it. No one who isn't already somewhat familiar with the circumstances is going to read that gigantic wall of text. If you really want to make a case to be unblocked, use fewer words and be a little less accusatory towards other editors. Primefac (talk) 09:08, 4 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
