I was referring to myself. I restored, but then realized that the OTRS information was not present . It was incompetent of myself to restore without getting full and proper permission. It's a difficult process to go through, and is quite understandable the user to not include all of the necessary information: the burden falls on myself to make sure it's all there, and in that I failed, and hence I said "Ignore the incompetent OTRS person" referring to my own incompetent actions of restoring, and then realizing permission was not there. Unfortunately this didn't get conveyed this well, and my sarcastic reprimand of myself came off as something else. I admit I am indeed new to the OTRS system, and apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. I also apologize for how my comments came off: I simply meant to reprimand myself.

FYI, when adding permission to articles as opposed to images, we have the {{ConfirmationOTRS}} template which lets us identify the source and the license all in the one box without needing extra text below it. VernoWhitney (talk) 11:24, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for handling the OTRS for File:Emiliavasaryova.jpg. Can you say if the confirmation also works for File:Mgombitova.jpg, from the same uploader? Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:01, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
It wasn't deleted as copyvio, but as spam - see WP:REFUND#PEPID Knowledge Base. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:21, 13 April 2011 (UTC)
Hi, can you explain what the problem was with this permissions: File:Cerridwen_Fallingstar_photo_by_Susanna_Frohman.jpg? I sent her the text, copied from Wikipedia:Declaration_of_consent_for_all_enquiries, and she did so, and e-mailed it to permissions-enwikimedia.org, and then forwarded me what she had sent, which looked fine. What was the problem? Thanks. Softlavender (talk) 15:12, 26 April 2011 (UTC)
I want to know why you deleted erie anime experience page, if you don't allow anime convention pages then delete them all not just the ones you dislike. Now I know why the trade school I went to said not to trust anything on this site. You say to keep it neutral, the page was wrote with facts, that can be found on the EAE site as well as animecons.com and many more. I should tell everyone that Wiki is to bias and only allows content that the Admins want/like and heck with everyone else. (Kenshinkyo (talk) 14:04, 7 May 2011 (UTC)).

Hello, I was wondering what was invalid about OTRS ticket ID 1800191? Shouldn't confirmation that User:Hariscizmic is who he says he is be sufficient? Thanks. --Joshua Issac (talk) 20:14, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
I've removed the section from E-procurement that was marked as a copyvio. The section was added wholesale in one edit back in 2005 and matches the source word for word; a clear cut & paste job. I do not have access to OTRS, so someone will need to close out the request there. Kuru (talk) 11:37, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi I noticed that you have asked for a couple of undeletions recently in connection to permissions being received from OTRS. Please consider applying at RFA if you are going to continue. Although there has been opposition in the past, these days there is generally a consensus to allow trusted users from other projects to have adminship if it will help them with routine janitorial tasks like sorting out image permissions and, I presume, transferring them to commons. Please let me know if you would like me to consider a nomination or would like to discuss this further. Spartaz Humbug! 06:46, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
Is there a reason why the subject gets to pick his biography picture? The previous picture was more recent and his face was unobscured. --NeilN talk to me 20:14, 28 May 2011 (UTC)
Hi Adrignola, I just noticed today you detected a possible copyright-problem in the Spiral model article, I guess after you have received an email, which is filled under the OTRS ticket 2011052510014855.
In your notification in the article, see here you mentioned the http://searchsoftwarequality.techtarget.com/definition/spiral-model as the original source. This however seems very unlikely to me, which I have explained here. Could you take a look at it? Thanks, you. -- Mdd (talk) 21:42, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

For your OTRS work and especially the tedious job that resulted in this. Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC) |
Oi! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:16, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
Concerning your recent footnote on 415 Records, thank you for handling that OTRS. I have a question though. Is it still appropriate for the article to have that footnote statement in the mainspace and the particularly worded template in the talkpage, if the entire article has been rewritten, incorporating several other sources and using the original copyrighted article as a source instead? The original material was prepared by an extremely knowledgeable individual; an expert in the field who is not only closely connected to the specific topic but also covered in the article. The original submission needed a lot of work to be made encyclopedic and accurate, and to procure additional sources. Since we did not at first have proper permissions on file for the copyrighted material (btw, I submitted the request for copyright problem investigation), I proceeded as though the original article would need to be used as a source instead, and created a fully re-written article, which has now taken the place of the original article submitted (which is still available on the web). However, that source is now cited in the article instead of used as the article. My thought is that since it is no longer substantially (or even partially) authored by the source's original author, that the footnote and the talkpage template should both be either altered or removed at this point. Is there a way to retain the thankfulness for that generous donation to Wikipedia and yet still move forward to a fully accurate presentation? Thanks for your most diplomatic thoughts on that. duff 03:12, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
Hi Adrignola. Would you please help out with the trying situation that has arisen here. It is an ongoing problem, trying to prevent fishing articles from being plastered with vanity photos, and you seem to have been the instigator of this situation. Thanks. --Epipelagic (talk) 17:34, 14 July 2011 (UTC)
Can you please delay deletion (set for 2 August) of the images as it will probably take more than two weeks to contact the photographers concerned and arrange ticket numbers etc. Thank you, Ptelea (talk) 14:42, 27 July 2011 (UTC)

Your image work on Wikipedia is amazing! I used to volunteer with OTRS issues, and there was often a month-long backlog. It brings a smile to my face to see these issues resolved now in days or even hours, and it's due to hard-working people like you. For adding confirmations, and for adding rationales for non-free images, you've enriched the images available for everyone. Thank you. – Quadell (talk) 20:35, 3 August 2011 (UTC) |
Can you please stop reverting her birthdate to 1983? The one on the Ralph Carr website is obviously a misprint. NOT ONE source barr that website uses 1983. Here is a link from her former official website confirming it as 1981 http://www.grailhaven.com/showcase/vanessa/about.htm (and if you say it's a misprint, you must acknowledge that the site you mentioned is capable of making a misprint too). Also look at this section in the date 18-11-99 http://www.grailhaven.com/showcase/vanessa/mstones.htm. It says she received drivers licence and passed VCE exams on this date. An IMPOSSIBILITY for someone born in 1983. Also she is the oldest sibling and her sister Melissa was born in 1983, another impossibility for her to be born in 1983. ALL sources barr the one you've used cite 1981 as a birthdate, http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Vanessa-Amorosi-Biography/CBF9504F3269A79E482569740012FB69 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1925079/bio http://www.birthdaypresentforhim.com/30th/16 http://birthdays.sanjeev.net/born-on-08-08-1981-vanessa-amorosi http://answers.encyclopedia.com/question/vanessa-amorosi-born-339941.html http://www.celebritieswho.com/celebrities-born-in-year-1981-august.html http://www.australianmusichistory.com/this-month-in-australian-music-august http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/entertainment/sydney-confidential/vanessa-amorosi-introduces-new-single-gossip/story-e6frewz0-1226084454751 . Please understand it is more likely that her site made a misprint than all these websites being wrong. If you don't believe me, have a look around the net today as it is her birthday and see how many mention 30 as her birthday. Pay attention to her official site. 60.224.2.240 (talk) 18:29, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
Oh really? I just emailed them and they thanked me for the correction. We'll see who's telling the truth soon enough. 60.224.2.240 (talk) 19:25, 11 August 2011 (UTC)
I just wanted to send a quick note to say thank you for restoring those images to the Heavens-above article. It makes me want to spruce up the article even more ! It's nice to see things moving along well, despite my newbie mistakes. Thank you ! Penyulap talk 10:28, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
Note that Dr is not her name and should not be part of the article title.
Also bear in mind that it must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that shet meets the notability guidelines. It is now wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references. As a matter of policy, all biographies of living people will be deleted if they do not have such references
It must not be written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with any claims linked to independent in-line references. Some of the existing text is too spammy for an encyclopaedia article.
Good luck

I have just realized that you have made a comment on the Miniature Lop topic regarding a possible conflict of interest and suggested a merge of this article with the Mini Lop topic. Before you carry out any further modifications, please take some time to visit the British Rabbit Council website as well as The National Miniature Lop Rabbit Club Website.
Miniature Lop (Max 1.6 kg) is a recognized breed in the UK and it is a totally different breed from the US mini lop (Max 3kg). Unfortunately we have our own rabbit registration organisation in the UK, which is independent from the American Rabbit Breeders Association in the US, and even more unfortunately there is only one English version of Wikipedia. If you do a search on Google UK, you will realize how many people are confused between a US mini lop and a UK miniature lop( or mini lop, as that is what we called them in the UK). Therefore it is extremely important, for both topics(Mini lop and Miniature Lop) to be co-exist on Wikipedia. MiniatureLop (talk) 01:25, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
Could you confirm whether it has always been policy that the ticket number must be included when adding the OTRS confirmation to talk pages? I see that you have removed a confirmation from an article on my watchlist, but if you review the history to see who added the template in the first place, it's evident that it was an OTRS agent. Specifically, OTRS volunteer User:Mailer diablo verified the permissions and added the template to Talk:Robert J. Beck in 2005. Should it be removed over a technicality or a policy that may not have been in place when the template was added? --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 13:33, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi there,
I'm just curious about some of my images that were put up on the LifeKraze site and then taken down by you, as the owner of those images, I would like to ensure that they remain there (they're just more attractive) and the content of the screenshot is important.
What can I do to make sure all of that can stay on the page. I've also posted this on the discussion page for LifeKraze.

Hello. Following your request I've added the edit filter flag to your account. It would be nice if you kept it read-only and ask me or some other sysop to remove it once you're completely done with it. Have fun. -- zzuuzz (talk) 11:52, 1 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello, I am a little confused, If both halves of the Ross Dependency are part of new zealand and both using NZST, why would there standard and DST be switched, remember, antarctica is stretched on this map, due to its location at the bottom of the world, the Antimeridian cuts through the Ross Ice Shelf, placing the eastern half of land on the left side of the map appearing far from new zealand, however the International date line has been skewed to prevent the spliting of united pieces of land such as Chukotka, Wrangel Island, Fiji, Tuvalu, or to island groups like Kiribati from being divided into different days. I dont see why the ross Dependency would be an exception here, but I may be wrong, I will do some research. – Phoenix B 1of3 (talk) 16:41, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
Today you rescued File:Josie.pdf from oblivion when you processed Migdia Chinea's OTRS email. Did that email also mention her other recent upload, File:Josie's eye.png, or must she send another email? -- John of Reading (talk) 15:19, 10 October 2011 (UTC)

The way that the OTRS was let known of the permission of the image was because of a email I made to PhaseWare. You can see the email here as a HTML file on my website. Feel free to link to the email on the file page, or copy it to another site and link to the "another site"s copy. LikeLakers2 (talk | Sign my guestbook!) 19:58, 19 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Adrignola. I was looking at my cross-wiki contributions and saw that my account at Wikibooks had become unattached. I tried logging in over there and found my ISP had been rangeblocked by Mike.lifeguard (talk · contribs) a few years ago (see this rangeblock and this rangeblock) and unfortunately he has retired. A similar thing happened here at Wikipedia around the same time (see rangeblocks here and here). To make a long story short, it was a bad block and was reversed (long boring discussions reviewing the block then reversing it and a review of what happened). Anyhoo, as you're a crat on Wikibooks, I was wondering if you could lift those 2 rangeblocks. Thanks much. - Hydroxonium (T•C•V) 07:49, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
