 * It's not an encyclopedic file. It has no business being on WP. You do not have sources for it, because sources do not exist. See WP:OR. — kwami (talk) 16:49, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree the map isn't good (I've already told Spesh on Commons that his image is full of OR and guesswork), but please don't use your admin powers to gain a foot up in a dispute. Magog the Ogre (talk) 17:32, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * So if I use my admin powers, and someone then disputes my actions, I shouldn't use them? Since admin actions will often be challenged, that means basically that we can't act as admins. — kwami (talk) 17:56, 29 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No, the problem is using your admin powers in a way that can't be reversed in order to gain an upper-hand in a dispute in which you're already a part. And if you're not a part of the dispute, it's considered unkosher to block an image from Commons; that's usually handled on a content basis (i.e., removing the offending image from en.wp articles, or blocking the user who adds it if it's a problem). If you'd like a second opinion, maybe we should take it to WP:ANI (although I am going off-wiki for the time being - I am certainly willing to have my own admin actions reversed if ANI disagrees).

"Murzuq bend"?
The three towns in the district of Murzuq seem to share some features, as of present (7 September): the line of control _and_ being on the edge (or near it) between sandy and stony desert. Is this a coincidence? I can see a high level of control cannot be equally as important in a sandy desert – if there's no oil or oases to protect. So no news from the sandy desert may not necessarily mean Gaddafi control either. What do you think?--Paracel63 (talk) 13:17, 7 September 2011 (UTC)
