Hi, |
|||
FYI: There is a check user going on at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_checkuser/Case/Mudaliar who I suspect is a banned user now appearing on multiple IP addresses and as [[User:Youonlylivetwice|Youonlylivetwice]] and many others. [[User:Youonlylivetwice|Youonlylivetwice]] seems to be the master puppeteer. |

Hoping to be adopted
Hi,
I just started a new account and getting back into editing/writing (wrote a few pages a year ago). I'd love to get some guidance as I start again, I don't know much of the conventions and policies about how to go about contributing and editing. I'm interested in general involvement in the community and also in researching/writing articles on different topics with an emphasis on history, IT, and Social Networks (I'm a programmer). You seem like a really good fit and I'm wondering if your taking on any other adoptees? Thanks alot!
Question regarding image to upload
I am editing the page for Geraldine Brooks, the winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2006. I wrote her publisher and asked for a photo to upload. Louise Braverman Associate Director, Viking Penguin Publicity sent me a photo to use and said that I need to include Photo Credit: Randi Baird. If I've followed the right path here, I'd like to upload it so it goes in the infobox like other bio pages. So three questions:
1. Have I done this the right way, as far as getting permission (it is the same photo that is on the writer's personal site contact page)?
2. How do I upload it to the page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geraldine_Brooks?
3. How do I make sure the photo credit shows-up?
Thanks-

- Thanks for asking. The image must be released under one of the acceptable GFDL-type licenses for use. This means there will be no such credit as requested, at least, not visible on the photo. It also means that the image can be used by others including commercial interests. You might have a look at WP:COPYRIGHTS for more information. WP:COPYREQ may also be useful to you. Since she is the owner of the image, it will be necessary for her to contact the foundation from a verifible address to release the photo. An OTRS volunteer will then properly label the image. See WP:OTRS for more information. The address is info-en@wikimedia.org. I know its a bit complex but there are very serious legal matters that underlie the process. I'll be glad to help all I can. -JodyB talk 13:28, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Coaching
I've resigned as coach.
I'm telling you in case you want to help coach the VC students.

Adopt A User
Hello JodyB. I need an adoptee. I'm new on Wikipedia and am not too familiar with the technical jargon used in the guidelines on how one posts an article. I have an article on a famous british photographer. It has lots of pictures on it. All his. I searched his name on Wikipedia and didn't find anything. So please adopt me and help me post this article. I also have other articles on various subjects. Some are about Africa and the myths and legends you find there. Hoping to hear from you soon.--Rubyen 18:59, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Adoptee for images
Hi, JodyB I'd like you too be my adoptee. Since your knowledgable on the image policy, maybe you can help me with upload images. If I think of uploading an image, I can show you first and get an opinion on it and you can help me properly label/license it. Bobisbob (talk) 13:05, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
- I'll happily offer whatever advice I can although my schedule for the next couple of months is pretty hectic including some time out of the country. I probably shound't do the adoption thing right now but do feel free to ask questions. - JodyB talk 23:02, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
Disruptive edits by Saedirof, MarkPC and Redlance: socks of a banned user
Hello JodyB,
Saedirof (talk · contribs) has been making disruptive edits to a number of articles, specifically Sengunthar, Mudaliar and Devadasi (all 3 are related articles) by using multiple socks and open proxies. He was initially blocked by you, check [1]. MarkPC (talk · contribs) who was initially confirmed as a sock of Saedirof (talk · contribs) but later managed to fool the admins into giving him another life. But the account MarkPC (talk · contribs) has been created for the sole purpose of edit-warring on the article Devadasi, (check [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8],[9], [10] while Saedirof (talk · contribs) edit-wars on the articles Sengunthar and Mudaliar at the same time. These are all socks of Mudaliar (talk · contribs) (username same as article name) or Venki123 (talk · contribs) who were banned by the arbitration committee for heavy trolling and edit-warring on the very same articles, namely Mudaliar, Sengunthar and Devadasi. Check [11]. Request you to look into this issue. Thanks,
