Requesting help #2I'd go to dispute resolution about this one. I dont think the picture is appropriate to the article, but having an "official" word determining this may be of help. Wildthing61476 (talk) 21:54, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
3RRHi. I have reviewed a 3RR report regarding your edits to Dominican Day Parade. Both you and the other user appear to be in violation, but since you are discussing it on the talk page, I don't view blocking either side as constructive at this time. Please continue to discuss the issue and work together constructively. Thank you. --B (talk) 00:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Munalee.jpgThanks for uploading Image:Munalee.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 19:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Blocked Nishkid64 (talk) 02:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
 XLR8TION (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: You did not look into my contributions history nor my discussion on the talk page to make a clear decision. A block until January 10th is really unfair and I would like to point out that I have made significantt contributions to this site. Why don't you take a look at the article for the Dominican Day Parade in which a user call UnclePaco posts libelous photographs that I have to removed. I even requested a third opinion to try to get this resolved and still he refuses to listen to my discussion. I would like for you to reconsider this block. Decline reason: These arguments do not address the edits for which you were blocked. Your other contributions and the behaviour of other users are completely irrelevant when considering the appropriateness of this block. — Sandstein (talk) 12:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC) If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked. I feel that the block is unfair and biased. You did not look into my contributions history nor my discussion on the talk page to make a clear decision.

Your recent comment regarding another user's language skills is inappropriate. Belittling another user based on their grammar (on a talk page no less, where content is not a part of the encyclopedia's text) is unnecessary and creates a hostile and adversarial editing environment. You have a history of civility violations, and I suggest you heed this warning and others. However much you contribute to the content of articles, you are still entirely responsible for your conduct, and such behavior is detrimental to the encyclopedia and hurtful to others. Since it is unclear if you have been notified, this is in response to a complaint filed against you regarding the relevant breach of civility guidelines. --Cheeser1 (talk) 05:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
A little too late apparentlyHello XLR8TION! I just stopped over from a Wikialert posted about you[1]. It seems I have arrived too late as you got blocked here for some reason. Anyway, While I in principle agree that UnclePaco was wrong on his edit, that is not a good reason to disparaging other editors. Part of the civility code around here requires that we all keep cool heads when someone else start making either edits we simply disagree with, or edits that are flat out wrong. Its important to engage in discussion rather than taking a swipe at someone (intended or not). There are procedures to review edits that any of us think are out of line. I would suggest starting at the WP:Community portal, which is on the left side of your screen under "interaction". Best of luck, good editing when you get back in, and .... stay cool.

3RR block
Cayey, Puerto RicoI left another message on the user's talk page asking him to justify his removal of these names on the article's talk page. If he doesn't I can no long assume good faith, and I will report him to [[[WP:AIV]] as a vandal editor. Wildthing61476 (talk) 21:48, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Re: List of Cuban AmericansI protected the article so that the dispute would stop. In the protection request, you asked for dispute resolution from admins. Unfortunately, such actions are not in the job description of an admin. You may seek further dispute resolution through WP:RFC, WP:3O, WP:MEDIATION, or any of the other processes described in Wikipedia:Dispute resolution. Thank you. If you need anything else, let me know. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 19:12, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
No personal attacksPlease refrain from personal attacks like calling ignorant. I've asked you kindly before. 72.144.39.229 (talk) 21:28, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
Requesting helpAs it says on the top of my talk page, I'm only sporadically active these days, so I'd suggest you ask somebody else if you need urgent help. >Radiant< 22:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Please consider joining it! Cbrown1023 talk 21:47, 22 February 2008 (UTC) You are invited!
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, and have salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes). Well also make preparations for our exciting Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, a free content photography contest for Columbia University students planned for Friday March 28 (about 2 weeks after our meeting). In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes. You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list. You're also invited to subscribe to the public Wikimedia New York City mailing list, which is a great way to receive timely updates. Fair use rationale for Image:Ilikeitlikethatdvd.jpgThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ilikeitlikethatdvd.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Project FMF (talk) 01:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC) Hello, I know this is old news but, just out of curiosity, I'd like to know about your exchange with the vandal who tried to turn the Quentin Elias article into a vanity page. Are you sure it was Quentin Elias himself ? Given his alias (Qnyc), this is probable, but it could be his agent. Did you exchange emails with him ? I'm just being curious about his approach to public relations. Thanks, Wedineinheck (talk) 11:46, 26 March 2008 (UTC) Image:Mcatoday.jpgI have tagged Image:Mcatoday.jpg as {{no rationale}}, because it does not provide a fair use rationale. If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples. Please also consider using {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Non-free. Thank you.

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes. You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list. Also, check out our regional US Wikimedia chapters blog Wiki Northeast (and we're open to guest posts). I noticed that after “Edward P. Felt” survived a proper AfD, there was a later quickie used to deleted it with just three votes being declared consensus. —SlamDiego←T 02:39, 4 July 2008 (UTC) Second Annual WikiNYC PicnicGreetings!

The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
