Compliment
Hammer,
You and I disagree on a lot of stuff. Honestly, I wouldn't have it any other way. I may think you are wrong and vice versa. It brings the strongest arguments for both sides out. The problem on Misplaced Pages is that there is no one to say which side "won". There is no definitive "ok, we'll do this" and I believe that it is one of Misplaced Pages's biggest shortcomings.
You do a lot of work rightly removing non-free images from places we've decided they shouldn't be (user pages, lists, etc). The vast majority I have no issue with, but I'd like to help correct those that need FURs. Specifically, in your recent edits, File:Pueblo_crew_on_122368.jpg. This is a very important historical photo. Would you object if I added a FUR to fix the problem with the photo? — BQZip01 — 00:07, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
- It's unlikely the image would pass a non-free content review. There's plenty of other free material with which to populate the article with images pertinent and sufficient to replace the non-free images that were placed on the article. See and .
- That said, you've proven once again that you are following my edits. I've asked you Lord knows how many times to stop this behavior, yet you persist. I will ask again, for the record. Stay off my talk page unless urgent business requires my attention. Stop following my edits. Stop following my work. If we happen across each other because our work overlaps, so be it. Incidental contact will happen. I have been desperately trying to avoid you because our interactions always generate sparks. Please, stop poking the iron in the fire. There's plenty enough other things for you to work on this project without having to follow me around. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:27, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
- I can follow your edits much as you, or anyone else, can follow mine: "Proper use of an editor's history includes (but is not limited to) fixing errors or violations of Misplaced Pages policy or correcting related problems on multiple articles. In fact, such practices are recommended both for Recent changes patrol and WikiProject Spam." All I'm trying to do is fix problems that you've highlighted. I don't think it is very appropriate for you to ask for Wikipedians to fix things on numerous pages, but get upset when people follow you around to fix them. You are asking for 20-30 "Fix this or we'll delete it!" changes every day and have stated you have no intention of making any corrections yourself. Why would you be opposed to anyone fixing them?
- Like I said before, you are doing a fine job with the vast majority of your edits. My compliments.
- As for this specific photograph, the hostages crossing the Bridge of No Return is a pivotal moment in world history with respect to North Korea. As they crossed the bridge, the hostages were subjected to a recording of their Captain "confessing" to war crimes. You'll notice that I do not disagree with the removal of the tour guide on the boat or other related copyrighted images. I disagree with the removal of this photograph and a non-free discussion would certainly be appropriate.
- Finally, as for further communication, you've stated you do not want me on your talk page. Fine. I came here as a courtesy; to attempt to smooth things over and coordinate actions; to attempt to de-escalate any problems. It seems you have no desire to do that. I will provide no communication on this talk page in the future. My talk page is always "open". — BQZip01 — 16:57, 27 January 2010 (UTC)
