Thanks for nominating this pic of a Boeing 777 being towed across a public road at London Heathrow. It will be interesting to see what happens! I fear it has little chance, only because a few of my other aircraft pics have been nominated and have had no luck!
I was at Heathrow only last Saturday and I watched three aircraft towed across that road (they never have their engines running). Sadly a bypass road is being built around the area so sometime in 2006 that road will be shut for ever. Best Wishes - Adrian Pingstone 22:26, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
Hi there, thanks for your support on my Lake Monowai picture. I took it myself while camping in the wilderness a couple of months ago and thought it was a great photo, so I added it to the thing. Have never done anything like this before and I am an extremely amateur photographer so I am really grateful that everyone hasn't starting criticising it and pointing out its faults straight away! :) Swollib 09:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

The same anonymous editor who changed your user page yesterday did it again. He/she/it left a cute bunny behind in your intentionally left blank space, but I figured it probably did classify as vandalism. If not and I did wrong, mea culpa. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 21:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Copywrite violations, You may call my revisions vandalism, but the copywrite violations are a crime. I am working to report Wikipedia to the hosting company that the server is on. Wikipedia is complicit in a criminal act. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.147.103.146 (talk • contribs)

I just want to say that you've done a great job concerning the copy-vio mug shots and dealing with this person. I can't believe this person is actually connected with the Howie Carr website or show because he seems rather thick. I didn't think when I uploaded the mug shot of Jimmy Flynn that I was violating any copyright. But it was so long ago that I honestly don't know where the picture came from. I knew that mugshots were PD but I didn't even think about people claiming ownership of a scan of a PD picture! So I was educated by the corel court case! If I had done something wrong I would have bothered fighting this guy in the edits either. But since it was made clear that there was actually a court case about this type of thing, this guy should have backed off the pictures. I must say I am annoyed with people stealing verbatim from other sites and I'm glad that came to light so these articles can be fixed. Thanks again for all your hard work!!!

Lanoitarus, Thanks for reverting vandalism on my talk page! --Hurricane111 22:42, 13 December 2005 (UTC)
My bad. I deleted the page initially, then I looked at CSD and didn't see "Spam" as a valid reason for a CSD. So I restored the article, removed the CSD tag, and listed it in AfD. Then after your note, I looked to see if spam was one of the definitions of vandalism. And lo, it is. So the page is gone. Thanks for the sanity check. → Ξxtreme Unction {yakłblah} 03:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)
unfortunately even though they appear to be fairly open to uses there are several issues, A) this does not constitute a license that Wikipedia can use and B) There are conceivable times when we would not fall under their scope and their licensing states that they reserve certain rights to their images so it is not appropriate for use on Wikipedia (other of course than fair use on articles about Firefox or Mozilla).

I have tried to find sources other than Carr's sites for the Bernie McLaughlin article without much success, though someone clearly has. I added the Carr site to the /temp article as an ==Ext link==, for honesty sake (in fact, maybe it should be ==Sources==, instead). I have to say, though, that our article now strikes me as a not a copyvio-- it's more than half again as long as Carr's, and has some facts not found on his page. What's more, if you compare different versions contributed by 216.20.1.211/2/3/4/5 (who started this article in the first place) you'll see different facts on different reconstructions after copyvio notices. It's all pretty strange. Who do you suppose 216.20.1.21x is? -- Mwanner | Talk 18:57, 15 December 2005 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know about the watermarks on the pictures on Carr's site. The guy must be a Carr flunky after all. It puts Howie Carr in a very bad light in my opinion, not so much about articles that are just copies of the crap off of his website, but the way this guy has been acting and working and the error of insisting that we don't have a right to post PD images.

Re: Image:Bugsmoran.gif, just a comment-- we never had this image id'd as a mug shot. Rather, User:Kwertii marked it PD, without stating a source, when he uploaded it. Granted, that makes it nosource, and some of Kwertii's other images have been deleted as copyvios. I only mention it because its frustrating that we find ourselves in such a defensive posture. I would love to be able to turn it around and say "OK, prove that you hold copyright on the image", but after banging my head against copyright law for some time now, I admit that I am baffled about how it is supposed to work. I just get the feeling that we may be being bullied by someone who has no better claim to the image than we have. Note that it also appears at [1] which pretty clearly is not a Howie Carr site.
I'm not saying you shouldn't have marked it as a copyvio-- I think it's the right thing to do under the circumstances. I'm just not convinced that it really is one. Wouldn't you think that if he did have a valid claim, he'd trot it out-- say, 'look, I acquired this image from such-and-such stock agency' and be done with it? Or simply file a take-down notice under the new ISP laws? -- Mwanner | Talk 13:57, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

Hey, looks like you are crossing the limits of the 3RR over on Bruegger's Bagels. Im gonna help you keep a eye on it, because much of what is being added does seem to be corporate, but please do follow the 3RR in the meantime. Some of what is being added is good info, too.
Thanks. I realized I was at my third revert, so that's why I didn't revert again. I think 68.9.138.84 went a bit over the line with a few comments in reverting his text; e.g. "Fuck off, deuce bag. I am telling you, I made this from scratch." and "Damn you, you son of a bitch, leave this page alone." don't necessarily tell me that he's trying to work as a team here,... I almost think he should be banned just for using edit comments like that, though it's hard to deal with anonymous users. Dr. Cash 23:38, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I actually deliberately removed the Corporate History section during middle of the revert war, but the removal was quite purposeful: it was lifted verbatim from http://www.brueggers.com/founder.html and is therefore a copyright violation, so I went ahead and removed it per WP:C. Looks like in the craziness with vandalism people thought it was removed accidentally.
Oops, didn't realize that. Copyright violations would be a bad thing. Dr. Cash 00:11, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Sigh. This guy really needs to get a clue. We'll just have to keep checking and reverting, I guess,... Dr. Cash 22:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

My IP has been blocked by http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Adam_Bishop. I've sent a note on the previous ticket of violations which is being worked by Michael Snow of this.
Some system. They steal content and when you push the issue they block your IP address.
As you may know, I have issued complaints with the hosting company and the FBI on other issues. These (crusades) are not content I control but will notify the original authors and provide the information they will need to issue a criminal complaint if in fact (provided they are the content owners) If the admins want to block me I will bypass Wikipedia and work directly with the owners and law enforcement. Not that I can't use alternate IPs.
PS How about unblocking my other IP address? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.139.138.1 (talk • contribs)
I'm not sure that was actually a copyright violation; who knows, maybe that guy took the sentence from here in the first place (it has been here for over a year). I interpreted the anon's actions as simple trolling, so I'm not particularly interested in listening to further complaints from him - if an anonymous editor knows enough about Wikipedia to use the copyvio tag without ever making any other edits, they are obviously not some random person who happened to stumble across the site with good intentions. (And it was simple enough to reword the sentence, which I have done.) Adam Bishop 19:56, 7 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliments regarding the 2nd Avenue Subway page. I think the original Second Ave page covers it pretty well too. Perhaps the parts to keep from 2nd Ave version are the A New 21st Century Attempt and See Also, because they have relevant information that isn't covered in the orginal artical and the links are useful. Regaring the image of the 2nd Avenue Subway from the MTA website. The one arguement I would make in favor of using it is the fact that it comes from a publicly released PDF document about the project scope. It seems to me that such a publicly required document should be rather easy to reuse in a non-commercial format like Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rock nj (talk • contribs)
The image is in the public domain and is usable, however your credit is wrong and violates the copyright. DMJM Harris did not create this image (my company did) and the credit should read "MTA NYCT/Capital Construction". Also, the 2nd Avenue Subway project is a JOINT venture between Arup and DMJM Harris and should be credited such. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lukem3d (talk • contribs) 20:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, I don't get it? You reverted a insignificant clone of the Balducci levitation back to its own page, making research more difficult.

Hello and you are welcome. 31 hours is an auto option along with others. A block can be any amount of time. 31 hours is an odd amount of time which gets the vandal off schedule since most of them will be right back 24 hours later to go at it again.

Perhaps that was the wrong way to deal with it, but User:RedCrescent has, along with many others from both sides (see the history, I am vigilant about each, most of my edits are eliminating spam links such as Answering Islam or Answering Christianity), been essentially vandalizing this page by coming back from time to time and eliminating language that has been hammered out, if occasionally with contention, on the talk page.Timothy Usher 08:12, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Happy Easter to all of you, and I hope that this version may fix your current problems and perhaps provide you with a few useful new tools. You can download version 1.1 at User:AmiDaniel/VandalProof. Let me warn you, however, to please be extremely careful when using the new Rollback All Contributions feature, as, aside from the excessive server lag it would cause if everyone began using it at once, it could seriously aggitate several editors to have their contributions reverted. If you would like to experiment with it, though, I'd be more than happy to use my many sockpuppets to create some "vandalism" for you to revert. If you have any problems downloading, installing, or otherwise, please tell me about them at User:AmiDaniel/VP/Bugs and I will do my best to help you. Thanks.

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia is a fraud. The fact that some 'higher up' at an organization can revert a statement or edit by a free speaking individual is disgusting and a slap in the face. Freedom of speech should be upheld at any cost; WIKI is the downfall of this god given right. The creators of Wiki need to realize that this creation is now in the hands of the public at large; they are not god and therefore it is not their place to determine editing reactions due to any criteria. Please allow users to edit and complete articles at will and only interfere when slanderous or blatently untrue information is presented.
