Hello and welcome. If you're wondering about the 412 in the signature, it's the number of my featured credits.

File:LindsayLohanMachete.jpg looks pretty suspicious: looks to me like the OTRS tag was added to avoid deletion of the image. I think you have OTRS privileges, so I'd appreciate it if you could check it out.—Kww(talk) 20:10, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Deleted and Johnny0929 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) warned. If one of you has chance, could you go through his other uploads? He seems to be having a few issues. Ryan Postlethwaite 20:15, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Wouldn't it be more efficient to ask someone who has local admin ops? If they find copyvio files that have been transferred to Commons then give me a ping. Durova 21:14, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

If you can show me an efficient way to contact OTRS (aside from IRC) for these things, I'd be extremely grateful. For such an important function, they seem virtually invisible.—Kww(talk) 22:38, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Final discussion for Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

Hello, I note that you have commented on the first phase of Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people

As this RFC closes, there are two proposals being considered:

1. Proposal to Close This RfC
2. Alternate proposal to close this RFC: we don't need a whole new layer of bureaucracy

Your opinion on this is welcome. Okip 02:16, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

thanks again for all of your hard with this project Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons/Contest is being completely changed, which is probably for the better... ;) J04n has really taken over the contest, which is great. Okip 03:01, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

I'm really glad that's working for you. :) Am building an article tonight. Cheers, Durova 03:06, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Re: WP:AN/I

What scurrilous attack? You may not believe this, but I do have a lot of respect for you & your contributions -- even if we don't agree on issues. Even if we never do again. -- llywrch (talk) 04:18, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Leadup:

• Some of the posters assert that they don't see what harm could come of her inclusion here. For the last two and a half years I have been working with an editor who also has a stalker (the real kind) and who has been unable to get his biography deleted. I would not wish his wiki-problems onto anyone, and per WP:BEANS will not state onsite what they are. Any administrator who wants to ask is welcome to email me... Durova412 19:26, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

• BLP has clear relevance here. Anyone who wants to know specifics about the actual BLP/stalking problem needs to inquire by email; those details will not be forthcoming onsite for obvious reasons. Durova412 19:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

• Three times is the charm: if you don't already see the problem, email and ask. It's about real stalking; it's sensitive and can't be discussed onsite... Durova412 19:52, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Without any attempt to inquire what I was talking about:

• What Durova is not considering by using the BLP argument is, at best, she is creating another divisive issue for Wikipedians which will lead to the frustration & WikiDrama that attended the Free Image/Fair Use conflict not so long ago; at worst, BLP is being strengthened into a tool which will be wielded by public relations flacks to sanitize articles about unethical, if not criminal, individuals. If people continue to cut-&-paste slabs from the "BLP" policy to force edits they advcate, I will start replying with "But think of the children! We must remove all of that bad material from Wikiepdia!" -- llywrch (talk) 00:25, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

You have no idea what facts I was or wasn't considering nor what my motives are. These are scurrilous assertions of the lowest sort. I put up with a lot of potshots at the admin boards and usually ignore them, but this could have derailed the appropriate response to an actual real world stalking victim. It is beyond the pale.
