Embargo.




All uploads.



Being blocked because some genius cannot sign their own name and refuses to, and some admin blocks me because they want to name-call as if it were some kind of problem solving revelation is an unacceptable working environment. No further work will be uploaded to commons, except (just maybe) awards and human rights work. For other stuff, try the few if any remaining artists, or maybe this place they do some simple stuff free, probably two or three pics before they get wise. For work of this quality, good luck finding anyone willing to do it for less than four figures, let alone for free. Even this logo , which I made in ten minutes for the sole purpose of saying how easy to make, and crappy, this apple logo is , is worth $150 (or $900 on a standard hourly rate). So have yourselves a fun time and a lovely little consensus that 'everything can't be done, can't be drawn, and is impossible'. example, example. Eventually you can just steal work from the Internet like on en.wiki, on the premise that there is nobody who can draw free CGI images. Have to steal this because nobody can draw space stations. "Replaceable ? Not with a free image" it says. Free space station 1, Free space station 2, free satellite. Drive all the artists away to make "not replaceable with a free image" a reality. As a community, commons, like en.wiki can't regulate itself. I have better things to do with my friends and spare time than put up with this shit. The embargo will only be reviewed after that admin's next de-sysop discussion, if at all. Penyulap 07:07, 16 July 2013 (UTC)Reply


other stuff

The direct INVOLVED behaviour of ‎MichaelMaggs who created this escalation and is named in the original complaint is, I believe, an absolutely transparent distortion of the community consensus reached at ANU. I believe this escalation is a deliberate trolling of Ottava to make him upset and use THAT as justification, rather than any pre-existing misbehaviour. Walter Siegmund makes that perfectly clear by using Ottava's response AS justification, rather than any pre-existing misbehaviour. Could you people be any more blatant and drag down commons public reputation if you tried ? I don't think so. In my opinion, Ottava's behaviour, given the circumstances, is well above average. This level of misbehaviour by a bureaucrat would be difficult for any editor to cope with, and I do not believe for one second it should be tolerated.

I expect the level of deliberate trolling activity by Fae and ‎MichaelMaggs will work too. ‎MichaelMaggs, after his blatant disregard for INVOLVED policy standards, went on to trolling just, was it even one day later Michaelmaggs? I don't think it's been 24 hours has it, before you try badge of shaming an editor who is not under any restriction of any kind, in what is obviously to me, and I'm sure many others, "transparent revenge". I said previously "It boggles the mind to think of how, but history shows when you think you've seen it all, they come up with something even more perplexing." and Bravo MichaelMaggs, you've come up with something even more obvious and transparent to destroy commons. Well done.

Commercial Work Embargo
I'm placing an embargo on any work that has a substantial commercial value whilst the community allows an admin to harass a long time respected contributor off the project. note 1 note 2. I'll make exceptions for human rights related work, do awards, some work for friends, and humorous work, but if you need something else try the GFX lab, or if it's something only I can do, try the phone book. A mid-life crisis, or protest against the WMF, or whatever the reason (make up your own mind) doesn't give people the right to kick people off the project, delete everything on their talk and user pages and delete their well deserved awards. Deleting a Barnstar on the premise it is not educational is a spiteful misuse of admin tools.
The Embargo will remain in place for 12 months beginning with Toms last contribution, or until the tools are taken away, whichever comes first. Penyulap
how many times are you allowed to stand up for what is right before you get a gag order

(Policy is an abstraction that exists on a planet far, far away)

Q. How many times are you allowed to stand up for what is right before you get a gag order

A. Not many.

Stand up for what is blatantly correct at the Admin Noticeboard too many times and the same admin will gag you. the same 'fuck off' admin.

For some reason double voting in admin elections is A-OK and No action is required

Wiki failed long ago. The whole project in Feb 2007 attracted 22 thousand new editors, the next year it fell to 20 thousand. This year it was 13 thousand. If you think there is anything wrong with that "fuck off and quit whining".

Best thing about having to endure this police-state jail, is that you don't have to.

farewell edit

Please consider posting (or discussing) the following comment and link on the appropriate talkpage, within a quotation box.

I rejoice that so many of us can understand those who we cannot understand. While I always had one foot upon the digital earth, and one foot in the digital heaven, and now I have left to try to prepare the way for those who may follow me there, I hope that we can once again understand what we cannot understand, and if we cannot do it in the place I try to prepare, then I hope we can cross paths again just the same before I lift my other foot from the Real earth beneath us.

short story edit

There was a vet, the very best training, the finest surgery, all the latest tools, medicines and equipment.

I went and caught a wild bird, I put it into a box and rushed it to him. I said "this bird is about to die from shock, it is a wild bird and I want you to save it, money is no object, I will pay anything you ask to save it"

I left him a large sum and he took the bird into his clinic. The next day, despite every effort he made to save the bird, it died. I could have asked him why it died, paid for an autopsy, theorised, but it would make no difference.

The bird was dead and I was right.

I was just kidding. We have a fair use image in her en:wp article and it is being brought into question. I starting investigating and discovered that it is probably PD.

I'm thinking that if the picture is out of a magazine and you opened the magazine to the first page or two, you'd find the copyright notice, so I can't see your stunt has a bright future. Stick to animal porn ! go find some bovine bondage or spanky snakes or ogling owls and so on, the project needs Your help. Penyulap 04:11, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply
That copyright ruling seems weird to many. If any version was published without proper copyright markings then all versions of the same 2D image are public domain and can never be copyrighted again. I just need to find an 'any'. Link to law.--Canoe1967 (talk) 04:30, 16 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Imposing a gag order edit

Hello, mattbuck asked for someone to crosspost this from COM:AN/U#Penyulap because he can't view userpages –⁠moogsi (blah) 00:27, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think this has run long enough now. After roughly 6 days, the vote count is 19 support, 14 oppose, of which 6 votes were by IPs, all on the oppose side, and one further oppose was Penyulap. I think this shows favour towards the proposal, albeit not overwhelming. I further note that while I do not out of hand discount IP edits, not one of the IPs which opposed the proposal had ever edited Commons before, and frankly if they're not Commons users I don't see their opinions as being especially relevant. As has been noted, Commons is a collaborative project, and for collaboration we need to be able to work together. Penyulap seems to have a problem with this, and while I enjoy jokes and humour as much as the next person, we must not let it get in the way of the reason we are here.

The sanction as voted on was for Penyulap to be allowed a total of two responses to a thread (defined as a top-level section), of not more than 100 words. Due to the suggestions that this is too restricting I am willing to moderate it to two responses plus one for each 2nd level (===) heading, with no word limit.

The sanction will last for one month (until 22nd May 2013), at which point we will discuss whether it is still necessary. -mattbuck (Talk) 00:11, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

(copying my response there)
Matt, who told me If you don't like Commons, please kindly fuck off and quit whining about it. -mattbuck (Talk) 11:07, 8 March 2013 (UTC) Hmm.. interesting alternative to improving commons.
So here is my one and only question, when counting 'votes', do people who have serious grudges which have been proven with diffs, count at all ? I don't think so.
Using votes of people who have grudges to bear to invent absurd new rules that target specific individuals rather than everyone voting on rules that apply to everyone makes a mockery of process and destroys any semblance of civil order. Penyulap 00:28, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well I was the only one who opposed your adminship after all, considering just how far your wide knowledge of every commons system and enculturation has come, I thought it was a little suspicious.
After all does everyone demonstrate as much experience with the system at 5 months ? Just look how far you've come since that first edit 5 months ago, to helping close discussion filled with socking allegations and full of diff'ed grudges. Penyulap 01:21, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Oh, and I'm not a part of this conversation, you see these words ? nothing, nothing to do with this conversation at all, I'm just not here, not typing, I'm off doing some shopping, really I am, and just like you I'm not posting comments at the ANU thread either, no, I'm not even online right now.
I tell you one thing, there are some people who, if they wanted to not draw attention to their wrongdoings, if they didn't want to draw attention to themselves, if they didn't want a light shined upon their misdeeds, then they are going about it with one God-damn outrageously monumentally flawed and choke-on-what-your-chewing startlingly surprising and original strategy.
I can't believe just how many morons think that the best way to hide their misdeeds on commons is to insert themselves in front of me, in whatever it is that I am doing, whatever little conversation in some corner of the project I am working on, rather than the gazillion talkpages and gazillion users they could be talking with.
Then they figure, here is a fucking genius idea, if I don't want Penyulap turning their attention to my misdeeds, then the most ingenious idea that my dinosaur bwain can come up with, second only to the epiphany of genius idea that was inserting myself in Penyulaps way in the first place, is TO ASK PENY about my misdeeds. I'm a fucking genius, I'll stop whatever Peny is doing, and then bring up the topic, that's a sure-fire method to silence Peny if ever there was one. Fucking genius I am, Hoo-Yeah !!!
Never the thought shall occur to these people that there are millions, probably literally, of users out there that I have no opinion on and never will, I have no idea what they are doing and cannot in a billion years bring myself to care about it either. I couldn't care less. Now, would you like to keep on talking and being a part of this conversation, or are we done here ? Penyulap 01:53, 22 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

I'm sorry that they restricted your ability to comment in discussions. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 13:16, 25 April 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hehe, I'm sorry if I laugh first off when I see this, because the thing is, I don't really care as much as other people surely do. I've seen this stuff before. When someone hasn't any idea what commons is about, and judges absurd new ideas like 'from now on Michaeldsuarez must change his handle to Shirley' and count supports/opposes, seriously, how can you not find it hilarious. But first and foremost, thank you for your concern, that means a great deal to me. As to the stupidity, I think a few people voted some governments laws to be invalid, I'll find that for you in a tic. Some people have no clue what adminship is about, it's like some swimsuit competition or popularity contest. They let anyone become an admin nowdays if you go over the RfA's it's hilarious. The current ones especially are funny, go have a look at the contribs. So it's like the united states of Utopia, they go on and on and on about all these wars they fought to get 'freedoms', and they've been giving away without a thought every last one of those rights since 2000. They bring the same cluelessness to the project with the same results, except this is the Internet. The project will be replaced, nothing is copyright about it, it's simply an epic fail, what else could have possibly been expected. I did some bot study yesterday, though today I've been chatting to some people and shopping online.
But hey tell me, if it is really bad that site of yours, how there are just people whinging about this one, wouldn't that just drive you crazy though ? You can tell me. I won't tell.
Oh, looking at that thing I was going to point to, I may as well put it in email, so if you want to write to me, I'll post the links, it's well, more of the same stuff really, someone didn't like being wrong and was going off like a chicken when someone pulls a feather from it's tail.

Discussion on Editor-requested self-blocks edit

Hi Penyulap. I greatly appreciate your language and articulation.

If you check Rd232's talk page, you'll find ample stuff - logical, wikipediacal, etc on the subject.

He has greensignalled any discussion on the subject.

Further, on this website link, I asked a Q: "Question: what will be the policy with regard to self-blocked admins? Should they hold sysopship?" and I got the reply: "This is a decision of each community, they appoint and remove your advanced rights holders. Personal opinion is an admin has self-blocked and it is for an extended period, then that community should review that circumstance. — billinghurst sDrewth 10:36, 24 April 2013 (UTC)".

Don't give up. There are still things that you can do and say, and participating on Commons would be a less enjoyable experience without you. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 14:54, 20 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thank you Michael. Penyulap 20:16, 21 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
You're welcome. I hope that you've lost interest in having your account be blocked. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 23:24, 21 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
No I haven't 'given up' trying to get 'my account blocked', I'm still trying. Penyulap 08:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Woah, wait a minute !!! something is wrong with that sentence, and as soon as I figure out what it is, I'll be all over it, you know, if I'm not already blocked. In the meantime I'm sure no-one will misquote me. Penyulap 08:08, 22 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ah, now it occurs to me as I recall we're talking self-requested blocks, no, I'm not after one right this moment, I'm, cool, and I wouldn't want to lose touch with all my friends, and I still love drawing silly things :D I think we all get a bit discouraged at times with the police state sort of sillyness, so many people really do believe they are masters of the universe on thrones made of solid neobyndium from galiphrea. I'm not against that per-sae, I just think we can be respectful omnipresent masters of our own galactic empires and recognise that other people have their own galactic empires in their minds too, and that shouldn't get in the way of the occasional bit of work that goes on either.

Some of us have not given up edit

I do not know whether you simply do not realize the extent to which your sarcasm suppresses discussion, or whether you are in fact so frustrated that you think serious conversation is pointless, but I do not appreciate having the thread hijacked with a personal dispute. Please either revert back to my last version or contribute positively to the discussion. Dankarl (talk) 18:02, 28 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

I think you have forgotten that the village pump is for everyone, and your repeated attempts to actually suppress discussion by cutting the thread in half or wholesale deletion of comments, is, well, how can I avoid the description 'suppressing the discussion'. Lighten up, people aren't hijacking *YOUR* discussion, they are talking, participating. Talking happens. sheesh.
Otherwise, if you don't want me talking about batch uploading on the web and so on, maybe a more narrow title than "Hey let's do a batch upload", cause with a title like that, people will talk about, umm, err, hmm, oh! batch uploads. It's the topic, you started it, you put it on the village pump which is the place to talk to everyone, if you don't want to talk to everyone, maybe a more quiet page is the place, or just invite people to have a chat somewhere ? Penyulap 18:12, 28 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Okay then, I'm done trying to steer, add something to the discussion, preferably something that will pull other people in and advance the topic. Dankarl (talk) 18:42, 28 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
There is no need to think that I'm negative because I can't think of the magic answer to the problem, you're not making any proposals either, so what is left except to talk about it ? If there is no proposal, then what IS the topic except talking about it ? see ? Penyulap 19:05, 28 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

upload files with water sign edit

Hi Penyulap, I found wonderful files, but they all have water signs. Is it worth to upload them? Is it possible to remove the water sign and who could do it? Thank you and regards--Oursana (talk) 09:06, 29 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

The watermark doesn't take up much of the image and it can be removed, it's not quite in the easiest category for watermark removal, there would need to be manual touch-up for best effect, but even without being touched up or even with the watermark there, they seem just fine to me, but you'd best watch out for roaming nut-cases who block for uploading any watermark at all (it happens) so I don't know how people are supposed to get them to the FX lab. I'd just upload them and see how you go. There are a lot of people who can remove the watermarks, but on the other hand, those watermarks are quite subtle so I can't see much problem. Oh, please do me a favour and fix up all the paperwork on this example image ok? otherwise I'll just have it deleted. I hate paperwork. The image has had the watermark removed by robotic cloning (wow, that sounds cool) there are other methods like adjusting the hue of the part of the image that has the lettering, that would probably work even better, but it's just a matter of how much effort is required, like if it is a FA or GA and so on.... actually there is a lovely picture of a bird that I extended and it's going to FI right now :) I'm quite happy about that :D
there are still parts of the last word in the image, easy enough to remove if it's necessary, I did it just rough without a clean-up. Penyulap 16:14, 29 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Wonderful. Of course I did the paper work. There are 13 photos left. Could we go on like this? Thank you very much.--Oursana (talk) 00:45, 30 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, though put them into a graphics lab request so that everyone can have a crack at them, watermark removal is a favourite of many artists around here. However, idiotically blocking people for uploading watermarked files is too common amongst admins. Commons:watermarks needs attention and improvement. Watermarks have been discussed at the Village Dump before, and there was not even agreement that at least some watermarks are allowed. It's crazy. Penyulap 01:18, 30 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Here's three more, we need better names. maybe the artist name + a number if nothing else works... Penyulap 19:05, 30 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

THank you so much, you are great, I knew. Artists name= Salviati, Paolo + Nr is fine. I do more paper work later.--Oursana (talk) 01:56, 31 May 2013 (UTC)Reply
You're most welcome Oursana. It's not too late to do the renaming, I take too long. Please do feel free to do the rename requests as I don't have filemover rights. (gives me excuse not to do more work) Penyulap 08:45, 31 May 2013 (UTC)Reply

Question (5 June) edit

Hello :-) i have uploaded this file today, its a cropped image from the cover of an old book published in Egypt. I think i might have made a mistake uploading it.. do u think it can be considered OK to keep seeing that it was published prior to 1987? (Check what the license says). If its not OK then can you please nominate it for deletion. If it was OK i'll move it to the workshop to edit it a little. Can you please replay in my talk page? Thank you--باسم (talk) 16:36, 5 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

✓[OK] Penyulap 20:49, 5 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Its OK then, delete it. I found another drawing also on a book cover but i wanna make sure of the date. What i know is that nothing is wrong in drawing pictures of Muslim figures such as leaders and general and sultans and caliphs...etc as long as they are not among the sahaba (such as Abu baker, Umar, Uthman, Ali....etc), so its OK to draw an image of Musa bin Nusayr or Tariq bin Ziyad or any other Muslim general. Maybe we can do the map if i didn't find any suitable image. Thank you--باسم (talk) 08:56, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
No problem, will do. I had only asked about it because I had heard something along the lines of pictures of living things in general, but I guess that is not a common culture, so it's ok. Penyulap 09:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Thanks — re: cyber-bully edit

Hi Penyulap, Thank you so much for noticing, and then giving your efforts to help with the Nyttend cyber-bully problem. Thank you also for the barnstar with your supportive message, it turned around giving up on Wikimedia then. It seems you detest bullies too, and I appreciate your capacities to out them in the wiki-world.
I just completed restoring information that Nyttend had illogically reverted away on ~30 images, and used edit notes with "restore," post-vandalism," and "correct destructiveness" — in case you or other administrators need more examples of irrational editing (not done to be provocative). It seems Nyttend is not even looking before reverting, as the 'U.S. National Register of Historic Places' + 'Historic American Buildings Survey' categories being deleted are at the core of many of their uploads' subjects. I've appreciated those images for years, and added categories to many 100s of them with no harassment until this year.
Have added my comments to Administrators' noticeboard, and hope they are not too 'old school' or long. With sincere appreciation—Look2See1 (talk) 09:23, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

You're most welcome Look2See1, thank you for your kind words. Thank you for the amazing amount of work that you have given everyone, everywhere. This project will eventually be replaced, all websites come to an end eventually. I believe our work will continue to be built upon, on other, new websites and I can't imagine that they will have the same (sometimes awful) problems that we have here today. I hope you and all my friends will jump across to the new website when it's built. Sometimes it gets pretty bad on wiki, many people do leave, many stick it out and I think sometimes real life is a refuge from wiki. I firmly believe that it should be the opposite way around, that wiki IS the refuge from real life. A good support network of friends and infinite intellectual pursuits to enjoy. I laugh when people on en.wiki suggest there is some kind of 4-5 million or 10 million article 'limit' on what the project will become. Small minds, with small ideas like that, are what you get out of pure chaos.
Don't worry about the hounding, I am quite happy to keep an eye on things, I've laid it out so well at ANU, and so balanced and complete, that there is almost nothing left for anyone else to add to it. People know or should know, what is going on by now. Sure, you can get random admins who will place very bad blocks, that is always a risk, but they can never live them down if they are unrepentant. People know what is going on now, they can see it, so don't worry. If you use a watchlist, it is always good to add your friends and the admin noticeboards to it, I do, that's how I see what certain people are up to. That's important I think.
By the way, I'm really happy you like the Barnstar, I drew it myself. I couldn't believe how much you've done on commons without anyone noticing, it is amazing, like WOW ! Penyulap 10:22, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi Penyulap, Thanks for idea of adding your talk page to my watchlist, am so old school would have felt like spying otherwise. Do not have a support network of even one friend here or en:wikipedia, so would like to apply to your U.S. Riffraff trial candidates program plz. The wiki isolation has been so strange, as in 3d life am very well connected in various interests and support networks. In both wikis, over the years have noticed preponderance of comments in edit summaries/talk pages is critical to quite negative — perhaps human nature + online anonymity + subculture of dominant 'ever-adolescent'—aggressive wiki editors? Not that I can't make dumb mistakes and be a slow learner too...
Discovered yesterday there had been another AN/U started about me 14 May. Nyttend did not notify me, is that standard since am not an administrator, or an oversight? Feels quite unfair not to be made aware and able to answer others' concerns, especially if goal was another block. If policy though, calmly accept it. Will watchlist AN/U too from now on.
Have added 3 replies to current AN/U, before seeing your "there is almost nothing left for anyone else to add to it" above. Sorry, will do big pause. Was just feeling so massively pummeled by uber-skilled wiki-insider types on a distorted agenda/mission, but certainly do not want to exacerbate drama fog or be a ranter unworthy of mature mediation.
Is it ok if I occasionally ask you questions here, on 'editors best practices' or 'how does an editor do this' stuff? BTW, had no idea my edit count was so high, certainly not my goal or cared about. Quality, not quantity, though guess that is in dispute :-) Thanks to your support, and a fabulous Barnstar design to see — am not just cringing and signing out whenever that "new talkpage messages" banner jumps out in its insistent ochre-orangeness. As always, with appreciation—Look2See1 (talk) 23:08, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
yes, it is standard practice and polite as well to let people know you are talking about them, however, in your case, I expect the intention was to trick an admin into making another monumental mistake, giving you another block. In such cases they try every trick in the book, some people here know all the tricks, and they are not doing as I do, exposing that knowledge for good purposes either. The problem is that the wiki projects are changing and not for the better. The best people get upset with the awful bullying that occurs, and they leave. That only surrenders the project to the nasty people. I tell people, if you want to leave, don't. Sure, stop for a while, give up editing, but don't make some big exit and surrender the project and the good people to the evil side. Have a rest, and next week or next month you'll have nothing else to do and will be here again. Then you can add your voice where it is needed most, standing up for what is right.
Yes, please do ask questions as much as you like. Switch on email as well, because occasionally you may not wish to make your enquiry public. I can also point you to the good people if I can't answer something myself, I do know some really good people behind the scenes here and on en.wiki. They are always happy to help good people (time permitting of course).
I might have to leave a nice message on your talkpage now and then to cheer you up and make you associate that orange banner with what it is meant to be, something nice. I like the orange banners. Penyulap 23:33, 6 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Hey edit

Well Takabeg upset me when he dates sclupture of Ferdowsi at UT "under 30 years", while it's actually from 1934. Mistake of 50 years. Talking about Ferdowsi square, it's from 1976 so I removed template also. Author died in 1995, so what is relevant in that case? (his mentioning of 30 years confused me) Considering British embassy, it's from first half of 20th century for sure. If you have noticed that I've done something wrong feel free to inform me. Cheers. --Orijentolog (talk) 00:45, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

can you link to that file for me please ?
something you should be aware of, it is a very popular strategy for nasty people to try and play 'tit for tat' I'm not saying that either one of you is, just that it is a common strategy. Someone provokes you into doing something wrong and then goes and tells an admin on you, and then you end up with the block. Not good, if they started it. When you have a problem like that, feel free to ask me, I'll try to help, or you can go to Commons:AN/U which is a bit more complex.
I'll point this conversation out to Fastily, where I first saw the conversation here. Penyulap 00:54, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ferdowsi Square (Tehran) - here it is. For this one I'm not 100% sure (like in case of 1934-sclupture). It looks like brand new (I actually thought it was from 2000's at first, and unaware of FoP rules) but it's from 1976. Considering my behavior, I removed deletion-templates from images and then I started to put sources with years. He didn't try to start conversation and consult issues but just undid my edits. --Orijentolog (talk) 01:02, 7 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
That's ok, don't worry about it, rather than removing the templates, just click on the link that says 'the nomination page.' and then write on that page why you think the file should be kept, removing the templates themselves is generally considered bad if you do that over and over again. On the other hand, if someone is hassling you by nominating lots of your files, and the deletion discussions that result at 'the nomination page.' pages eventually turn out to be 'keeps' then that is a problem on their part. Usually you just don't worry about people nominating your files, it happens all the time, but if they nominate 10 and all are kept, and then next week another 10 or something, then you can add a calm note to the discussions that they are making a lot of deletion nominations of your files that result in keep, or ask me, I'll take a look.

What browser are you using? edit

Just for curiosity: Regarding [2] — what browser are you using? This works fine in Firefox 21 as well as Internet Explorer 10 on Windows 7. The line breaks you added actually add a huge lot of whitespace in these browsers while it looks good without them. I assume you're seeing some overlapping content in your browser though, without the additional line breaks? --Patrick87 (talk) 01:58, 10 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

firefox, on ubuntu. There is more than one person seeing this, as I wasn't the first to insert it. There is of course the proper way, a - inside brackets, but i was lazy, and it does the same job. yes, the text does cover the image without the cr's and actually i think there is still a sig over it, but that doesn't worry me, just the conversation which wouldn't be legible without. Ubuntu is required to run the graphics programs that I use. At this moment I am getting a taste of windows 8 and I hate it, it's a steaming turd. Penyulap 11:53, 10 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Collegiate environment edit

Extended content

Hi Penyulap. I would like to informally raise for your attention posts such as this one, made to an already heated Deletion request, which seem intended to inflame problems and/or cause offence to other contributors. I know that some find your posts amusing, but repeatedly posting comments which are likely to offend, in the middle of a consensus building process, is disruptive to reaching a consensus, and in my view, creates a hostile environment.

In this instance it would have been fine to respond with a comment about "zero evidence" and make it amusing, but reducing the discussion to "talking out your arse" and making fart jokes is a deliberately offensive personal attack. Please consider removing or adapting the comment to make it clear it is not a personal attack against another contributor.

At times I would agree that you make good policy based points to the benefit of Commons content and the community, but these are lost amongst hostile comments, and what most viewers would call blatant trolling for laughs at the expense of others. I hope you can take time to consider my request to ensure Commons stays a collegiate environment where everyone can feel free to make a contribution to open knowledge, without feeling at risk of being abused or hounded, rather than instantly dismissing or ridiculing my concern as someone without a sense of humour.

To be honest I have avoided all interaction with you since raising the AN/U on your account, for fear of becoming subject to continued hounding personal comments; I doubt that is the reputation you are actively seeking, but please realise it is the effect you have on others. Thanks -- (talk) 13:08, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

That is a small sample of what I have been doing in the 'Collegiate environment' department in the last month or so. italics and bold added by myself, full section is up the page a bit.

Let's see what people have said about your efforts in the 'Collegiate environment' department in the last month or so.

  1. [...] is pathologically drawn to creating controversy and conflict.-- KTo288
  2. I also feel the candidate often tends towards the letter rather than the spirit of policy in order to achieve an aim, and this is not a philosophy I'm comfortable with. Begoon 
  3. Aside from the issues underlying the en-wiki ban and the lack of candor relating to his use of multiple accounts, Fæ's comments here just the day before this discussion began [4], uncivilly proclaiming that blocking one of his en-wiki critics would be "a bonus to the community," also demonstrates that the candidate is unsuitable to hold a position of trust. The Big Bad Wolfowitz
  4. Oppose per "Fæ has used ad hominem attacks to try to discredit others". He doesn't seem to have stopped. Salvio giuliano
  5. Fae's past history does not inspire confidence. — Scott
  6. Fæ neglects to mention past accounts and sockpuppets and neglects to mention past enwiki ban in his nomination statement. Would you trust a sysop who hides facts from you? --Michaeldsuarez
  7. While I firmly believe people can change and that second chances are important, they must come after sufficient evidence that the requester has learned from his or her mistakes. At this point, I do not have enough confidence that Fæ has changed enough to allow me to feel comfortable extending him the trust necessary for access to the admin maintenance toolset here on the Commons. I'm sorry. -- Avi (talk)

On that last comment, do you think about a month is enough ? There is plenty more of this stuff, I could waste more of my time picking out some of the clearest advice you've been given by the wide community, but basically you're just here so you can go to ANU again, surprise, surprise, and say 'oh I tried to save the universe by being so nice and saintly with a pious heart and ask Penyulap to stop killing babies and woe is me he didn't listen', blah blah blah [The Penyulap show season 2 episode 1] blah blah. Seriously dude, what has changed at all in the last month, you've simply laid in wait, looking, hoping for an opportunity, lame choice btw, I do crazier crap than that all the time, but it'll do, so run off and see if you can cause more dramaz.

Would a person who would like to be appreciated and treasured by the community follow your lead and take your advice Fae ? seriously ? Would admins who want to keep the respect of myself and the wider community follow your lead Fae ? run along to ANU and find out.

  1. I expect more matured and controlled behaviour from admins. JKadavoor Jee
  2. I believe that Fæ's free speech track record is dismal. --Michaeldsuarez

I should give out lessons in how to hold the project together and stop good editors leaving, and come to think of it, if people watch carefully they shall see if I can keep our friend and colleague from losing heart in dark times. Penyulap 14:23, 20 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Here is a pretty picture of my friend's contributions to liven up the drab section.

<description> This is the amazing, absolutely amazing, screenshot of Look2See1's contributions. There are like, just 15 edits to the commons namespace today, out of a total of over 100,000. What is seriously even more amazing is if you go and pick contributions at random, you'd see that Look2See1 is not a edit count oriented editor. Most of the contributions are well thought out multiple category adjustments that, if done separately, would rival the likes of my friend Richard from en.wiki. A million ? I don't know, but how do you get that far without attracting attention, how many more miracles are out there like Look2See1 on commons, if any ? it gives pause for thought.

Unbelievable... Just noticed this discussion by chance and what should I say? I've never met a person that is stepping on other persons toes more constantly and deliberately (and I'm not talking about Fæ!). Just to make it clear from the beginning: There's no need for an answer, or at least there will not be any further comment from my side. If I learned one lesson regarding communication with Penyulap it's avoiding all of those pointless discussions with him at all. They lead nowhere.

== Absorption and emission spectra == (link)

Hi!

I am hoping someone can answer a question regarding copyrights on spectra.

On the page violet astronomy, to illustrate the emission and absorption line locations for beryllium and boron, which are important metals in star formation, I have uploaded two such spectra calculated by the person credited. But in principle these spectra may be calculated by anyone and perhaps presented as this individual has done, without the company components of course.

Are these spectra as calculated and presented subject to copyright?

Thank you in advance for your kind attention to this matter. --Marshallsumter (talk) 17:32, 1 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

This might be a case of {{PD-Ineligible}}, but it would be preferable is you just replot the spectra and use {{PD-user}}. --Jarekt (talk) 01:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Make a request at the Commons:Graphics lab, we can make new images for you, and you can add the credit as a reference in the image description on the image page. Penyulap 13:26, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
No we can't. Absorption spectra are nothing one can just "redraw" Penyulap. You have to calculate them from a theoretical model or measure them with a spectrometer and then you can create a plot out of these data. --Patrick87 (talk) 14:33, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Actually the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the USA has already calculated them including intensity per element. All that needs to be done is to graphically plot them like the spectra often seen with appropriate colors per wavelength. I would have to write the graphics software from scratch but I can supply the reference if Commons:Graphics lab can do it. Let me know and I'll supply the reference. --Marshallsumter (talk) 19:48, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
It could be done as a GIMP script, but not by me. I think writing it as a svg would be easiest, people tell me they are plain text documents anyway, so adding in the computations directly or with a text editor sounds dead easy. I don't do svg though, so I'd have to learn enough for this one task or co-ordinate with friends. It certainly sounds do-able. Penyulap 20:37, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thats what I meant: Graphics lab isn't the place were scientists crowd, but a place for graphics experts (not that this would be mutually exclusive). This request would probably fit better into en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics. There's no need to write software for this, there are suitable tools around. I could probably do it, but I don't know when I'll get round it. There are multiple things I'd want to do first currently. Maybe you could start a request at graphics lab and post a link to it in WikiProject Physics. --Patrick87 (talk) 20:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Sorry to spoil the fun Penyulap, but do you think only because you removed the background (containing the watermark with author information) and incorporated a new one it isn't a copyright violation anymore? Your graphics doesn't improve upon the original at all (despite the author might now even complain that we removed the watermark from his work). I'll not even start to make a statement on the physical validity of this diagram. --Patrick87 (talk) 00:43, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
well to answer the first question, yes I do think it's all PD now because it is far too simple to be the subject of copyright, I won't be the least bit offended if you DR the image, feel free. Marshallsumter is the only person I'd like to please with the graphics as they are the requester, if anyone else wants to make an even better image, they are most welcome to do so. Penyulap 01:01, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
You are wrong (although where there's no judge, there's no hangman...)! First of all, the graphics can be as simple as you want, the underlying data may still be copyrighted. Now lets assume your image is art (it's not very physical anyway): Even then it could be copyrighted, since even some colored lines could reach the treshold of originality (Where did you place the lines? How thick did you made them? What color did you choose? There's actually much originality in it!). --Patrick87 (talk) 01:14, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
wrong ? me ? unpossible I tell U ! ;D
The image is just fine, it's a spectrum, a representation of the Radio Frequency spectrum shown as visible light hues. Basically it is just a scale, same as numbers on a tape measure, a steady progression with perfect precision. This I know from general knowledge, I also know that the signature of each element is unique, you can't copyright that either. So those signatures expressed in this way are the simplest form possible. Now, there are some artefacts where I stretched things in the FX software, I'm not so sure it is as clean as it possibly could be, however this image is designed to be viewed with the eyes rather than fed into software, so I think it is ok, and more importantly, supremely important is Marshallsumter describing it as "Awesome!!!" at the FX lab. To me, that is the only thing that is important, that a requester is happy. It's like someone walks into my shop and I am the shopkeeper, and they ask for half a dozen D sized batteries, and some other person, not staff and possibly not a customer suggests that they should buy an iPod, what am I going to do as a good shopkeeper ? bill my customer for an iPod without asking, or do as they ask and provide a half dozen D sized batteries ? Penyulap 01:41, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Oh come on, Penyulap, this is just childish. First of all you don't have to explain to me what an emission spectrum is since I'm afraid I already know it much better than you will ever do. Secondly your copyright arguments are just invalid but if you don't want to see the facts I can't aid it, continue violating copyrights. Thirdly the graphics lab is a place for graphics experts and we surely want to satisfy users (who might be satisfied easily) but at the same time we want to produce the best quality possible according to our standards, so the images can be reused for other purposes easily, and won't pop up here again in some months to fix the glitches that could have been avoided in the first place.
To stick to your silly example: Surely you can sell your customer half empty batteries and he will be happy since his device works again, but if you demand of yourself to fulfill some basic standards you'll sell him fresh ones (at least if you're not a crook). --Patrick87 (talk) 02:31, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
I find it endlessly amusing that you figure to lecture me on what I do and don't know, please continue, I can't get enough.
I suggest as far as copyright goes, put up or shut up, commons:DR is a nice place to address concerns that don't involve gratuitous 'remarks'. As for the quality of the images I'm producing, I'm the only shop open, the image is quote "Awesome" and I'm happy to refund the $0 paid twice over and give a free voucher for a free replacement image. If only you could get that everywhere in RL eh ?

P.S. As an example you still didn't get that I actually wanted to help you produce a nice and shiny image that is free of copyright but if you're satisfied with imperfect results of questionable copyright status there's little I can do.

Hi!

I am hoping someone can answer a question regarding copyrights on spectra.

On the page violet astronomy, to illustrate the emission and absorption line locations for beryllium and boron, which are important metals in star formation, I have uploaded two such spectra calculated by the person credited. But in principle these spectra may be calculated by anyone and perhaps presented as this individual has done, without the company components of course.

Are these spectra as calculated and presented subject to copyright?

Thank you in advance for your kind attention to this matter. --Marshallsumter (talk) 17:32, 1 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

This might be a case of {{PD-Ineligible}}, but it would be preferable is you just replot the spectra and use {{PD-user}}. --Jarekt (talk) 01:58, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Make a request at the Commons:Graphics lab, we can make new images for you, and you can add the credit as a reference in the image description on the image page. Penyulap 13:26, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
No we can't. Absorption spectra are nothing one can just "redraw" Penyulap. You have to calculate them from a theoretical model or measure them with a spectrometer and then you can create a plot out of these data. --Patrick87 (talk) 14:33, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Actually the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST) of the USA has already calculated them including intensity per element. All that needs to be done is to graphically plot them like the spectra often seen with appropriate colors per wavelength. I would have to write the graphics software from scratch but I can supply the reference if Commons:Graphics lab can do it. Let me know and I'll supply the reference. --Marshallsumter (talk) 19:48, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
It could be done as a GIMP script, but not by me. I think writing it as a svg would be easiest, people tell me they are plain text documents anyway, so adding in the computations directly or with a text editor sounds dead easy. I don't do svg though, so I'd have to learn enough for this one task or co-ordinate with friends. It certainly sounds do-able. Penyulap 20:37, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Thats what I meant: Graphics lab isn't the place were scientists crowd, but a place for graphics experts (not that this would be mutually exclusive). This request would probably fit better into en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Physics. There's no need to write software for this, there are suitable tools around. I could probably do it, but I don't know when I'll get round it. There are multiple things I'd want to do first currently. Maybe you could start a request at graphics lab and post a link to it in WikiProject Physics. --Patrick87 (talk) 20:50, 2 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

No, as said in the other discussion I currently don't have the time to do it currently.

I don't see why any reasonable person would extract the data from the image, rather they'd just use the actual data. The illustration is to describe the dataset, and I'd say it does a decent job of it. I would say the people working with these signatures would recognise them quite well by my description image. That said, if nothing else, I've certainly stirred a competitive spirit to do the task :D a win win win situation. :D Hoo Yeah ! (does a little dance) Penyulap 07:47, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
I finished the job and noticed the height is possibly too great. Should I reduce the height to 50%? Btw. I also uploaded sprectra for 96 other elements. For those of you who are interested can find them in Category:Atomic_spectra. --McZusatz (talk) 17:13, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Wow, looks great! Actually I just checked how to display images ignoring their aspect ratio but it doesn't seem possible to do it in MediaWiki software. So probably it would be better to reduce the height. One thing I noticed: You should give sort key for Category:Atomic_spectra (from category description: "Please, keep the category sorted! [[Category:Atomic spectra|01]] for H, [[Category:Atomic spectra|02]] for He, etc.").
Out of curiosity: Which software / what data did you use to produce the spectra? --Patrick87 (talk) 17:43, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
See the permission tab for details on the source. I reuploaded them in 7430x1280 but any other height is fine. Just let me know. --McZusatz (talk) 17:57, 3 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ah, I see, the thing I linked. Nice you actually used it . I think the height is fine now (it's easy to change height if needed anyway) and the width should be large enough to always provide good quality. One could even use CSS transforms to change height without modifying the file:

Featured Pictures edit

What are you up to? Why nominate an FP and oppose it? Why the quick-fire voting on the other nominations? Is this a game? Colin (talk) 11:07, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

the quick-fire is manual editing. It's just closing tabs and saving all at once. As for the little bird, he is slouching ! I'm not so sure people would get that about the bird, but then, many people are against the whole CGI manipulation as well, so who knows what will happen. As for the nomination, it doesn't matter what I vote, I'm just one person, that it fits into the policy is the reason it should be nominated, and that is different to my personal views. Maybe you are quite accustomed to seeing people support their own ideas, but you know, I'm a bit quirky. I have my ideas, the community ideas, maybe even your ideas, all inside of my head. Which part is put down depends on where. Same like unblocking someone you don't like or something, some people can't get their head around that. Meh. Penyulap 11:14, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

Penyulap, whilst I understand that you are indeed satirising the FP process with that nomination, I have removed it from the FP list, and deleted the nomination page, so that it does not become an issue for a major part of this community. I do get your humour, and you bring it to my talk page regularly and which I have no problem in you doing so, but perhaps such a satire of the FP process, which I am sure you could do well, would be best suited to your userspace? How about that instead? If you would like to do it that way, I will undelete it, and move it to a userspace title that you suggest. russavia (talk) 11:29, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Russavia, restore the damn page and remind yourself you shouldn't be telling other people how to vote. It is NOT a satire of the process or a critique of the process, I can show you one I did before, just so you know the difference. That image, which, thank you very much I helped to create, passed as a Featured image unanimously on arabic wikipedia. They aren't the same as commons, but there is a good chance that it meets all the requirements here. There is nothing wrong with the nomination. Go find a policy that TELLS me how I must vote. Bah ! Penyulap 11:32, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
here is a satire of the process have a look at the upload remarks. It was mentioned in some discussion that some dust spots were a problem, which I think is rather pedantic. Penyulap 11:41, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
I can't see where I stumbled over it, but the revision history shows someone marking one dust spot at a time, spots that are very difficult to even see. When removing them, I had to keep referring to the map that they had made. I don't know how a regular person can even see such things. Penyulap 11:47, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

The image is featured on another wiki, so there is no reason why it can't be here. The only thing you can be trying to do is tell me how to vote, or not to vote. I'm not telling a person a list of bullshit pedantic things like dust or composition related or anything else, I can be diplomatic. Penyulap 11:52, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

I noticed that it is featured on Arabic Wikipedia; I am not really sure what their standards are, and with no disrespect to the photographer, but the standards on Arabic Wikipedia obviously need to improve. I also know that your "oppose" is satirising the comments that one often sees at FP. However, in this case, the quality is poor and would have no chance in passing FP here, and it would be closed within minutes of me undeleting as such. It is because I do like your humour -- File:JetSlag.jpg for example is a humourous save of an image that would otherwise have to be deleted, and even get your humour in satirising the over-categorisation that often occurs on the project -- that I am not going to undelete the page, because I frankly do not wish for it to be used as an example against you. But a potential move into userspace I am open towards. russavia (talk) 11:53, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
So now you're saying that a Featured picture on another wiki cannot be nominated on commons. Great. The other thing that you are saying, is that if it DID get nominated, that I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG. Great. Whatever. I wash my hands of your imposing your views in this matter. Penyulap 11:56, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
Can't see why you'd remove humorous red categories from a humour image, they go together like blowing your nose and (/on) silk. The point of the image is to be humorous, and so are the categories. Here is Russavia trying to impress everyone by trying to be serious ah, what do I care, you're ok. You're being silly, but I can't say as I care. Penyulap 12:03, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
kindly remove the vote, and restore the page. I would like to assess whether commons folk can read the guidelines about manipulated images, or if they are as (#*&%#) as the people on en.wiki and the sailor image. Penyulap 12:06, 22 June 2013 (UTC)Reply
If I must point out, there is method to my madness. Assessing the reading levels of commons FP contributors, which I don't hold in particularly high regard generally it's true, but I wanted to see if they dislike the idea of CGI to the level of paranoia, or can read and interpret the rules properly, and if so, how they interpret those rules. Otherwise, what is the point to nominate the sailor image here, so nominate another pic to see. Either way, my 'vote' is correct, even if it is masked in humour, ah fuck it. Don't restore the page, there is no way the poor photographer would forgive me. It's a FP, it's a damn good image, but you're all F'd in the head about what is nice and what is not and there is no helping you all. whatever. I have better things to do.

You're welcome. There are the blank maps on commons, and good quality. I suggest to use one of those. For the art license, I think there is nothing to copyright there, it could be copied onto commons without a problem, however it is of such poor quality there seems no reason. If a complete list of arabic labels were made, that should be enough to make the request easy. They can be added to a blank map.

I can't remember, did I do a similar blank version of a battlemap before ? Penyulap 08:17, 29 June 2013 (UTC)Reply

More eyes needed edit

Hi, I noticed you're an admin here who's been active recently, so I'd appreciate it if you'd take a look at Commons:Deletion requests/File:Burr by Gore Vidal - first edition cover.jpg. That nomination of an image consisting only of brief, unadorned text is completely without merit legally or under Commons policy (it would undoubtedly be speedy closed on en.wiki, but I've noticed Commons deletion nominations tend to hang around for a very long time) and has been personalized by the nominator for some reason. Whether or not you care to comment or do anything else about the deletion nomination, I think this is a completely inappropriate statement to include in a deletion nomination. Thanks for your time, Postdlf (talk) 16:44, 2 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I took a look at it, and went to mark it as PD-text, however, it is already marked correctly as PD-text. Generally DR's are left open a little while, and in this case it shall give several people the opportunity to tell whatsisname that he is wrong and you are perfectly correct.
Btw, I'm not an admin, I do a lot of work stopping trolls that's true, I'm basically troll anti-matter, working for the project rather than against it. When little trolls come into contact with me they are usually annihilated, but I'm not, because of my larger size. Being an admin wouldn't actually help me, it would just give them extra things to shout about, I don't mind that, but what I do care about is it would cause people to load me up with a lot of work to do. Poor INeverCry comes to mind, if there is any deletion work to be done, give it to them and tell them I suggested you do so on account of they are so lazy ;) If you have problems with other users, come to me, if it's deletions, INeverCry, Fastily, or Russavia are all pretty fast and 24/7. I can do closes in circumstances where I feel it's a keep, or it's a discussion which doesn't need admin tools, I'm excellent at judging consensus, even in the future quite often. Penyulap 17:29, 2 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Ah, okay, I saw you participating in an AN discussion and assumed. I've been an admin on en.wiki for many years now but haven't looked into the process here. Honestly, I've never seen that kind of claim before that DC's raising, nor one as plainly wrong on the law and policy, nor do I know why he seems to have targeted me personally. Postdlf (talk) 18:04, 2 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
You're not the first to think so, many people have suggested it too, but I don't care for any of the work here, though, I don't mind making amusing images and Barnstars and saving the best contributors from losing hope where I can. en.wiki, zomg what a mess of a place that is. I simply am incapable of understanding the lynch-mob mentality of USA citizens, it's foreign to me, a completely alien concept, but it is so pervasive there. I'm better off working here, or building other websites to replace the disaster that en.wiki is. Penyulap 18:16, 2 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

File:Cry-wolf.png edit

Any reasonable motivation for Latuff to add side curls to that image, other than to express his indiscriminate spiteful hatred of everything and everyone Jewish, does not leap to mind. Certainly Liftarn hasn't been able to come up with anything plausible... AnonMoos (talk) 03:22, 6 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

well, after you said 'side curls', I google it. There are lots of pictures of women's hair on the first page of google, along with lots of talk about the tradition of jewish people to have 'side curls' and what that means and where it comes from and so on. I expect it is possible that the artist was portraying a jewish person in the cartoon, and so they drew them in the most characteristic way so that people would recognise the character as a jewish person. Penyulap 03:45, 6 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
The logic of the cartoon required him to draw an Israeli settler. The addition of male side-curls (peyot), which are only adopted by a minority of Jews generally noted more for their religious zeal, with no particular correlation with Zionist settler activity, is the typical Carlos Latuff added spiteful bigoted racist touch...

I understand and I thank you for your concern, it means a lot to me. About my tone, the thing is, not all 'trolling' is bad. Sometimes it takes on to know one, or like on that movie 'catch me if you can' it takes a forger to catch all the forgers. So everytime I see a few clowns jump into their clown car with the intention of running down an innocent person, don't be surprised if one more clown shouts 'wait for me' and jumps in there with them, and just before they run over their victim, the biggest clown says 'here, let me help' and grabs the steering wheel; and then gosh darn it, they always seem to end up hitting a tree, a wall, a ditch, just about anything except the innocent person, how about that eh ? So acting like a clown may at first look like every other clown out there, and it's bad to be a clown or look like a clown, but if you look careful, and I know you do, you'll see that things stay a lot more mellow and calm in the end. Actions speak louder than words. You look at who stands with me and who backs me up, it's all the good people who look beyond appearances, and who dislikes me, people who judge by appearance alone, and TROLLS. God don't they hate me, and why wouldn't they. Artists, if you ask them, will say yeah, Peny is one of us, and ask if they like me and they'll say yeah, peny is ok. Ask the catters, the admins, the newbie helpers, the bot operators, and it's all the same story. Ask the trolls and they'll all nod in unison to the question is peny one of you, but ask if they like me and all their little heads will shake in unison. They don't like me. While they all serve themselves I serve the community doing whatever it is I do best, art, code, whatever, all for the community. I know I look stupid most all of the time, well, there is no helping it, I guess I was made that way. But we have to work with what we've got. Penyulap 02:28, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Can you please use Template:Unsigned instead of censoring and frustrating others? Censorship isn't helpful. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 01:31, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi Michael, yes, of course, actually, what I often do and what I think I have probably done even today is just write a full signature for newbies or people who forget to sign. The thing is, in that particular case, there was comment after comment that wasn't signed, and the person or persons doing that was no newbie(s). Their edits had plenty of links and wikimarkup, and it was rude of them not to sign their own comments when clearly they knew how to do so. Rather than follow them and be their butler, which honestly I don't mind doing for sincere people, I just reverted. It got the message across just fine, and one comment was returned with a signature. I am sorry it cause you inconvenience, and I don't know if all the comments were the same person or not. The comment that was returned was the most recent, so maybe they wanted you to read it, it was also the most pressing as it preceded my own, and could have been mistaken for my own, and so obviously wasn't to be tolerated. Sorry about that Michael. Penyulap 01:42, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
You don't have the authority to remove comments merely because they're unsigned. As far as I'm aware, policy doesn't grant users such powers. Punishing an anon's "rudeness" with censorship isn't right. It isn't your job or duty to reeducate (i.e. forcing a change in behavior) users by penalizing them. Fæ wants to reeducate you through penalties (i.e. placing restriction on your speech in order to change how you speak and how often you speak). You have to understand that you can't force an individual to behave in the manner which you desire. You have to understand what freedom is. Freedom comes with responsibilities, and protecting the freedom of others and oneself means doing inconvenient work, such as using "Template:Unsigned" or working for the income needed to pay the Internet bill. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 02:08, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
Yes, you are quite right, and it's not something I usually do, but I can't imagine that if someone decides to never sign their comments that it wouldn't cause a stir, signing comments is expected by the majority, and some things get to be pretty much policy. I should have returned the comments, but then again, after seeing three comments by someone who can quite clearly sign if they want to, well... Penyulap 02:34, 8 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Why ? are you saying that I'm not ignorant and don't have anything to learn, there are a few issues that I am not entirely familiar with, in addition to those Walter has been kind enough to point out, like

Did you know that more children are being trafficked for sex in Texas during one month than there are women killed in domestic violence in an entire year ?

Films like Amistad I understand, and they speak of the horror and terror of slavery in the United states, but films like Gangs of New York are a complete mystery to me, I just can't understand or follow the thinking in a lot of the movie, same as some of the groups on en.wiki, like why they stand by and allow injustice. Commons is a lot different, because of the dynamic multicultural nature of the editor base, so it's easier to relate to, I feel quite at home here. But for you to say I have nothing to learn is just plain wrong. In Indonesia, watermelon is a common decorative dish at celebrations, I would dare say it may be more common than the three-tiered wedding cake, the idea that it is a symbol of prejudice is very strange indeed, I mean, there are racial tensions in Indonesia and Asia, but not based on things like the colour of a person's skin, that's just nuts. No, there is a lot to learn, I don't see knowledge as TLDR, even if it does go on forever. I don't want to make another social faux pas with my friends, no thank you.

In ten minutes, you can find all this, and that's before going near the 500 nations that were exterminated by the genocidal expansion of 'pioneers' across the 'american west' or the lynchings. I would say the comment "I guess there is a wealth of prejudice and bigotry and racism to learn about in regards to United States history." is a polite underestimate, unless your speaking to an apologist of course. Penyulap 19:23, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I appears that we have put different meanings in what you wrote after the {sigh}. The way I read the comment it appeared to me that you were relating WSiegmund to prejudice and bigotry and racism because he is an American. On the other hand, as you explain it, it was a genuine interest to learn more of the dark sides of American history. My apologies for the misunderstanding. As I have told you previously - maybe by E-mail, due to the fact that many of the Commons users do not have English as our native language, we, the non-native speaking often miss subtle details in the language. And when we discuss with native speakers, there is an asymmetry, because we are not equally skilled in communicating in a language, which is not natural for one of the parties. Often this gives rise to misunderstandings, such as these. --Slaunger (talk) 21:46, 9 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

The dispute here is someone who wants to use my signature on his remarks at the graphics lab. There is a nice neat {resolved} template I use which, if they'd listen, is not simply used for archiving, what I've picked up from the established artists is we seem to use resolved or a tick to say something is no longer urgent. After that, other artists still add and improve the images some more, that's the usual thing. This dope who doesn't want to add the {section resolved} template to the sections himself, wants to hijack my own remarks. Thing is, there are HEAPS of examples where other people have used both templates in the same discussion, one after another. Anyhow this guy won't listen, and it hasn't occurred to him he can add his own template with his own signature along next to, above, or below mine, or anywhere in the discussion. I gave him more than one section on his talkpage warning about him changing my remarks. Penyulap 06:58, 15 July 2013 (UTC)Reply


A new image edit

Hello, how are you doing :-) its been a while and i was busy on ar. wiki and couldn't answer back about the map of Constantinople. I don't remember i asked for a similar battle map before, this blank map is great and i will add the Arabic tags as soon as i'm done with a few things. Right now i have a new request i applied here can you do something about it plz? thank you--باسم (talk) 12:21, 14 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Well I can, but as you can see from the section above, some genius at the Graphics lab is unable to use his own name to sign his own templates he alone wants to use, and insists on forging my signature. Mattbuck, who tells me to 'fuck off' if I want to improve commons has blocked me on commons. So even if I was unblocked, I wouldn't be using the lab, where some genius insists on forging my signature on hideous templates. When I have time, I may look into it and upload it over on ar.wiki for you, but I'm not so sure.
After I marked a section resolved here, to indicate it was no longer urgent, but too soon to archive, someone else did extra work on the image, you know, even though the requester was happy, and then an editor managed to mark the section for archiving WITHOUT the necessity to forge my signature, maybe that requires some amount of technical expertise, who knows. Now if someone could ask McZusatz how he managed to do that with his own signature, and then explain it to this guy who according to the edit summary doesn't know what to do to get it to archive, WITHOUT forging MY signature, well, that would make so much common sense that it would be too much for some small minds to comprehend.

No that's ok, I would prefer something that is human rights related, award related, (heeheh lol, not that kind of award) and preferable a request that no other editor alive could possibly do :) that's the kind of work I love to do.
Though at the moment, my main art computer is offline and I'm down to a live-cd, it'll be fixed in a jiffy though so don't worry.

Argh! I'm not there yet, I spent hours yesterday doing data recovery from the crashed computer system. 120 thousand files plus and 130 something gigs of JUST 'personal documents', nothing of the operating system files, just pics, art, components, videos, all that stuff that goes in the 'my documents' folder on windoze machines. I'm amazed there was so much, it struck me how you forget so much and can't think of very much inside your mind at once. There is so much in your brain but so little would ever come to mind if you had to make a list. My homicidal robot is back up, I think he only stopped long enough to gloat, the little #$*%^$. He's working as if nothing at all happened. Should take longer to restore the art software and operating system, and these things always take longer whenever there is trolling. Sometimes I wonder just how productive I'd be in a better working environment. I can understand why so many competent professional people avoid this project in their spare time, it's a shame it's so mismanaged. (sigh) Penyulap 04:10, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Suggestions edit

  • Whoever loves discipline loves knowledge, but he who hates correction is stupid. Proverbs 12:1 (regardless of if you believe in God, these are wise words)

I realize that sometimes suggestions are not wanted. I realize that even when suggestions are wanted, the vast majority of the time they are ignored by the recipient. However, I hold out for the small percentage of the time that they are received, and taken to heart. Would you be open to some constructive criticism? I read over one AN/U thread about you, and I think I have some things to add which might help ease your stay here on Commons.

Of course, in the meantime, if you have suggestions for me, I will listen to them. Magog the Ogre (talk) (contribs) 03:00, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. Krishnamurti. These are relevant wise words because I am very well adjusted to the community of established artists, content creators, categorizers, good admins, newbies who want to help and so on. The sole sector of the community who I don't care for are the pathological who pursue selfish goals, seeking to use the project as their own virtual tyranny.

I feel quite comfortable on commons, I have many good friends and colleagues who, like me, pursue the goals of the project. As in RL I appeal to the wise and competent while repelling the evil. The people I don't appeal to, if any, are invariably working towards their own selfish goals. Sure, people can always use more evil friends, possibly I should put more effort into that. I can think of a number of cyber-bullies offhand that I don't get along with. You're welcome to use email if you have any advice. I look forward to chatting with you. Maybe there is something all good editors can do so that evil can triumph, ...or maybe nothing at all. No, but seriously, I'm all ears. Send me a note. Penyulap 04:10, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

As for advice from me to you, I have none. You're not in my face name-calling in my blocklog, you're not blatantly trying to badge of shame me as transparent-to-all revenge, I don't see brilliant contributors complaining that you're making their work intolerable, so I pay no attention to you. Sorry about that. Maybe fashion advice. Now you're an admin, don't dress like a pimp before you site down at the computer to log into commons, consider a nice cape and mask instead. I dunno, you see, people who aren't in my face I'm like, I have no clue about. ;) Penyulap 04:19, 29 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Courtesy note edit

To avoid derailing the de-adminship discussion further, I have taken my concerns about your conduct in that discussion to the discussion talk page. I will make it clear to you here though. My choice to participate in a de-adminship discussion does not give you the right to call me a liar (without evidence), to accuse me of canvassing and collusion (again without evidence) and to make outright threats to me about my "future" here at Commons. You have now moved on to disparagement of people because of their national origins (and you didn't even get that right). You have had the chance to have your say - at length. How about letting others have their say without the constant harrassment. If your case is as strong as you think it is, you shouldn't need to act in the manner in which you have. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 21:18, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

I haven't called you a liar or a canvasser, show me where I have, if there is some misunderstanding on your part, I will be glad to clarify it for you.
I think you have become far too upset over this, it's quite obvious because you are falsely accusing me of disparaging people because of their national origins, which is false and insulting.
It would help if you can post a few quotes here, so I can discuss it with you. I can hardly just retract or change every comment in the entire discussion, that would be unreasonable.
Actually, that would be kind of impossible to do without removing the entire de-adminship discussion, which would be against process. That would actually be disruptive ;) Penyulap 21:42, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
I just had a look at your remark, I recall you were the one making false accusations about me. You see here, you're calling me a liar. No wait, you're saying I am calling other people liars and giving the wrong diff for the false accusation.
"I am also deeply concerned with the motivation behind this request for de-sysopping and even more concerned about the highly confrontational approach taken by Fry1989 and Penyulap in this discussion. The need to respond aggressively and at length to every dissenting opinion (including calling those with differing opinions "liars"!) makes me very suspicious about the (lack of) good faith being shown by those two editors and the (lack of) objectivity in the case they have brought forth."
I don't actually care that you call me a liar or whatever it was, I guess I could care less if I put in effort, but you say I'm calling people liars without giving a diff. The diff you give in that comment is a diff of a DIFFERENT editor, so where you make false claims like that, and give a diff which is clearly inappropriate it's easy for everyone to see. Hence, I don't care that you make false accusations against me at that point.
About the 'future' stuff, that's just voting in admin elections. That is what people are SUPPOSED to do, to look at the attitudes and history of a candidate and see what they stand for, what they do, and then decide if you think they would make a good admin. Bidgee misused the tools to gain the upper hand in a dispute. This has already been stated and verified by a great many people. I too am amongst them and do not think that if you are an admin in the middle of an edit war in the edit summary alone with one other editor, I don't think you should use admin tools to win your stupid argument. That is not what tools are for. Many people don't think that is what tools are for and I am one of them. There are also many people who think that tools ARE there to be misused and that is what tools are for. There are many people who think Bidgee is doing a great job and look at what he did and support that. I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that people who support Bidgee's behavior, if they were given tools god help us, would do exactly the same thing. Of course they would, they are saying there's nothing wrong with it. They are saying that Bidgee is a good admin.
On what planet, in what policy, does it say that I have to vote for such people ? Where does it say I MUST vote in people who think there is nothing wrong with misusing admin tools ? So of course I'm bloody well not going to vote for them, I'll tell you right now, I'll tell you tomorrow, I'll tell you any time you ask me. Tell you next year if we are both still here, and if I ever see you up for a RfA after saying that Bidgee is a shining example to all admins everywhere then of course I'm going to vote against you, that is the point. That is what voting is for. Durr. Penyulap 22:11, 31 July 2013 (UTC)Reply

Quoting redacted content edit

Hi Penyulap, you quoted content which was redacted before. You may question why something has been redacted but you are not free to restore that material. Simply talk first to the admin who removed offensive material. Regards, AFBorchert (talk) 12:17, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

If I saw that directed at a person, I'd have removed it myself. It was not. That editor was critical of an organization this obviously has nothing to do with that editor and everything to do with my sound reprove of your partisan closure of a discussion about Tomas. Any editor can look at the actual diff, which I give here and you don't. That editor even used the exact word in bold marks. "organisation" he said. Unless Russavia is an organisation, then this is about you getting corrected on your biased closure at ANU. Penyulap 12:43, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
Hi Penyulap, the offending text was obviously targetted at Russavia (this man, followed by an offense). Anyway, if you object to redactions talk to the redacting admin, do not revert or quote it. Regards, --AFBorchert (talk) 12:58, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply
 
Sounds a whole lot like "Is too!!!". The diff is there, people can read what he thinks of the "organisation" themselves, and in the face of indisputable evidence you figure to replace my brain with repetition alone ? Oh please, I've made art to criticize that kind of bullshit. You can repeat the same argument as many times as you like it's just going to look all the more silly in my opinion, there is not really a point at which I vomit, it just gets sillier, it's bleeding obvious that you're calling Russavia an "organisation". Yeah, maybe they'll de-Bureaucrat Commons and shove another server into Russavia's pants. HA! Penyulap 20:35, 13 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

hey edit

I didn't look at who changed it from left to right before putting it back as I had it, there has been so many people messing with my remarks there, or just destroying them in general as an attack on me, like this lot 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 followed by an outright attack page mentioned at the bottom of my talkpage, so I was just ignoring it as more of the same.

When I had a look and saw it was you I thought, whoops, still in the anti-nasty mode. Feel free to change it back to the other side, I do not mind as it's a genuine editorial thing you're up to. I think I started getting away from the 'everything on the righthand side' thing back in the days of featured articles on en.wikipedia, someone mentioned 'why are all the images on the right hand side, you can alternate them a bit' and I thought about it, and thought, hey, why are they all on the right hand side, it's just a default, not a rule or style. After that yeah, I put a little more thought into not following the default. Meh, but if it annoys you by all means change it back, there are plenty more pictures for me to talk with. I'm not so much a text-only person, I'm video pictures and sounds when I talk. Penyulap 02:52, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Reply

I merely moved/realigned it so that comments do not stack up (so that three structure is maintained). :)

"Happy Diwali!" edit

 
While Diwali is popularly known as the "festival of lights", the most significant spiritual meaning behind it is "the awareness of the inner light". It is the belief that there is something beyond the physical body and mind which is pure, infinite, and eternal, called the Atman. The celebration of Diwali as the "victory of good over evil” refers to the light of higher knowledge dispelling all ignorance, the ignorance that masks one's true nature, not as the body, but as the unchanging, infinite, immanent and transcendent reality. With this awakening come compassion and the awareness of the oneness of all things (higher knowledge). This brings Satcitananda (joy or peace). Just as we celebrate the birth of our physical being, Diwali is the celebration of this Inner Light. While the story behind Diwali and the manner of celebration varies from region to, the essence is the same – to rejoice in the Inner Light! And this year Diwali and All Souls' Day come together to fully defeat the Evil! "Happy Diwali!"JKadavoor Jee 06:17, 2 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

Ha! yeah, it can be tiring being dragged down by the bottom-feeders. Being able to deal with critique as a site, or as leadership (as in Jim's public figure) is woefully lacking. If someone criticized me or my site, I'd either take it on board or slam dunk them by criticizing myself properly. I'd show them how it is really done by criticisng myself better than they ever could and where would that leave them but speechless. Nope, people like Fae and mattbuck have the most disgraceful and appalling public images on and off commons, and with people like that and what they do, it just drags everyone in the only possible direction it CAN go, which is to end with a reputation crafted by the same people who crafted theirs for them. So with Fae's skills at public relations at work on commons, we will end up as popular as....Fae. Attack pages, name-calling in blocklogs, constant abuse of any and every kind, people will try to escape to more civilized academic environments like 4-chan for example.
Don't worry Michael, there are cheerful and sometimes even humorous people like me with the skills and backing needed, to think for a moment and say to themselves that there isn't a website out there they REALLY like and enjoy, and so they build one ! Penyulap 18:21, 13 January 2014 (UTC)Reply

We are fed up with your junk. Would you please find another playground? Yann (talk) 12:31, 5 February 2014 (UTC)Reply

(my comment at the village pump) I see your efforts to crush the lighthearted environment of self-critique of wikipedia has backfired badly and publicly too. The last in you long line of attempts to delete my work out of process here turned a completely unknown work into a popular tool to criticize Wikipedia, the irony of crushing lighthearted criticism by having an artwork comparing wiki to an intolerant regime has not been lost on the public in your latest public disgrace of the project. It's on wikipediocracy it's on encyclopediadramatica, its on Jimbos talkpage. It has gone from internal jest to public disgrace with your personal attention.

Stop it edit

Please refrain from personally insulting other users in order to derail discussions at COM:AU[6]. I have now notified Fastily. --Túrelio (talk) 10:03, 19 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Penyulap: There really isn't any need to talk about Fæ anymore. His time has come and gone. Incorporating criticism of Fæ into every discussion is pointless and silly, and it only creates more trouble for you. Don't get yourself blocked again over this. If the discussion is about Fastily, then please stick to discussing Fastily. --Michaeldsuarez (talk) 12:18, 19 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
brilliant advice Michael. Yes, I had made the natural mistake because I wanted to point out a bad example to everyone, to contrast against the stellar record of Fastily. I don't particularly think the guy needs an award or anything, but looking at his workload, he seems to do, along with INC, most all of the adminning work around here. Naturally the in-my-face harassment by Fae and Yann and public disgrace that Yann & whatsisname provide is difficult to ignore. Just have to do what I can to care even less than I do now about such nobodies. Considering that I'm breaking out in a sweat with all the not caring and not giving a rat's ass that I'm doing now, it won't be easy. I should see if I can get some help, a team effort to not give a dam. Meh. But actually come to think of it I can't be bothered. Too apathetic to redouble my not giving a crap efforts.
Do you know, I was just thinking today to write a nice book. Do some authoring. I think that'd keep me occupied.. Ha ! occupied.   You know you always remember where you were the moment big things happened. Like 9.11. or the occupy movement. I was in the toilet at the time the occupy movements broke out. All over the world,... in many places. I did my part too. I occupied that toilet. For a while. Penyulap 12:56, 19 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Penyulap, becoming blocked over incidents such as this really isn't worth it. You're hurting your own credibility, not Fæ's, by making such comments.

Your VFC installation method is deprecated edit

Hello Penyulap, we are aware that using the old installation method of VFC (via common.js, which you are using) may not work reliably anymore and can break other scripts as well. A detailed explanation can be found here. Important: To prevent problems please remove the old VFC installation code from your common.js and instead enable the VFC gadget in your preferences. Thanks! --VFC devs (q) 16:23, 22 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

This file may be deleted.
A file that you have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, File:Montage of Vientiane Province, Laos.jpg, is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such works would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a map that has been altered from the original. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

Please edit the file description and add the missing information, or the file may be deleted. If you created the original content yourself, enter this information as the source. If someone else created the content, the source should be the address to the web page where you found it, the name and ISBN of the book you scanned it from, or similar. You should also name the author, provide verifiable information to show that the content is in the public domain or has been published under a free license by its author, and add an appropriate template identifying the public domain or licensing status, if you have not already done so. Please add the required information for this and other files you have uploaded before adding more files. If you need assistance, please ask at the help desk. Thank you!
