Dear Looie 496,

Hi! Thanks so much for your offer to help. I have tried to place copyright tags on my pictures in the article on Hypothalamus that I downloaded, and apparently I was successful on one of them and not successful on the other one (one picture now has a big caption saying that the image can be used by anyone as long as I am given attribution). Can you help me out at all by figuring out what I am doing wrong in placing copyright tags on my images? Thanks so much

dear looie, i request you to kindly look at the discussions on [1] where i have added some comments after your comments. i'll be thankful if you help resolve the dispute. cheers Wireless Fidelity Class One 06:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

hi, it'll be nice if you can visit the wiki admin noticeboard site [2] where i've requested administrators to give their view on the tag removal. cheers Wireless Fidelity Class One 06:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

There have been few movements in the article since your review. Won't be a good idea to close the GAN? Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 13:21, 3 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Again: 10 more days have passed and still no movement in the page. None of your comments have been addressed. Why do not you close the GAN?. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 09:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try to get to it today or tomorrow -- although my comments were not addressed directly, there has been a good bit of action at the article and I want to look it over again before closing. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bring down the hammer on your own head. The changes were not reversions. How dare you Please think it through before putting venom on other people's talk pages. Tony (talk) 10:27, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, your post was so out of order that I'm considering making a complaint at Wikiquette. Do you make a regular practice of that kind of abuse? I find myself with a headache after your attack. And next time you accuse on the basis of an ArbCom remedy, please read it properly first. Tony (talk) 11:13, 11 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You tagged this article with {{GAreview}} on 30 June 2009, over one month ago. Have you finished your review yet? It appears that your last comments on it were on July 4, 2009. Please close the review as either a pass or fail at your earliest convenience. Dr. Cash (talk) 21:21, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would not revert him again; but as I also wrote in his talk page I hope he answers. Bests.--Garrondo (talk) 09:18, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I'm writing because you reverted my own reversion of your edit in which you changed a quote taken verbatim from a source. The source is of course a pertinent and reputable one, as you must know, since you yourself were the one who kindly directed me to it in a talk page discussion. For some reason you indicated in the edit summary that the material you changed was not a quote. Is there some miscommunication here? I am working from a PDF file available at "http://www.cognitivemap.net/". The authors appear to have placed a complete digital file of the book as it was printed. I have rechecked the quote, and my citation of it, and both were accurately indicated. If you check the site and download the PDF of the book (worth having in digital format in any case) you will see that I have accurately quoted and cited it. This being the case, it seems that your issues with the use of the word "literally" to refer to an 'act' 'occurring' in the imagination would be best taken up with the authors of the volume. I don't particularly like this phrasing either, but as far as I have been able to ascertain this is an accurate quote. Why did you indicate in your edit summary that it was not a quote? --Picatrix (talk) 05:08, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't actually look at the source, but if it's a direct quote, it should be in quotation marks. If it's in quotation marks, of course it must say exactly what the source said. If it isn't in quotation marks, there is no such requirement, and the fact that a person imagining walking through an environment is not walking through it "literally" becomes relevant. If you simply place the directly quoted part in quotation marks, my objections will evaporate. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:59, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your reply. I have reverted the edit and returned the quote to its original (and accurate) form. For the record, the quote was (and is) in quotation marks. Best, --Picatrix (talk) 14:32, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I finally understand -- the quote is so large that I missed the quotation marks. Thanks for your patience, and sorry for my mistake. (Although the phrase "literally 'walks'" still makes me cringe; I can't help it.) Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:57, 18 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

sir actually i wasn't aware about this fact i will take care of this in future and will post data of my copyright only —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amitkochhar (talk • contribs) 13:56, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw your comment on Wikipedia:WQA. A proposed community ban of this user couldn't be more overdue. I mean, just look at the size of his more than full block log (and don't forget that there is also a second page of 50 more logs). I almost fainted when I saw that, I have never ever seen a block log that size and I know of a handful of banned users who haven't been blocked half as often as this guy. I think a proposal for a community ban would be the only choice (a lot of it for lack of civility and personal attacks but looking through the block log you should see a ton of other problems).--^{The Legendary}_{Sky Attacker} 20:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I was thinking that you should apply for adminship. I have noticed you have a good knowledge of wikipedia, are good at mediating and so forth.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 19:53, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the encouragement. I'm not sure I have the courage to face the circus that RFA has become. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 16:15, 25 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Looie. Can I ask your opinion about my proposed new intro' paragraph for Pain, please? Your input would be highly valued. Cheers Anthony (talk) 16:06, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
