Your threats
You wrote on my talk page:

'''THE BELOW INFORMATION IS DEFAMATORY IN NATURE AND REFLECTS INACCURATELY ON THE CHARACTER AND INTENTIONS OF MR. GOOLSBEE. IF THIS BELOW INFORMATION IS NOT CORRECTED OR REMOVED FROM THE WEB, WIKIPEDIA AND THOSE EDITORS DIRECTLY REALTED TO THIS ARTICLE MAY BE LIABLE UNDER UNITED STATES AND INTERNATIONAL LAW. YOU ARE HEREBY WARNED AND ADVISED THAT YOU SHOULD REMOVE OR ALTER THIS ARTICLE TO REFLECT MORE ACURATELY THE INTENT AND MOTIVES OF MR. GOOLSBEE IMMEDIATELY. WE WILL BE WATCHING THIS PAGE DURRING THE NEXT FEW WEEKS TO INSURE THAT SUCH CORRECTIONS ARE MADE IN A TIMELY MANNER. FAILING THIS WE WILL HAVE NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO BRING LEGAL ACTION TO BEAR IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.''' 27 Feb 2007 200 AM +9GMT


 * Please note:
 * Typing in all capitals is equivalent to shouting and is not civil
 * Please explain exactly which information is untrue and defamatory.
 * Do no expect me to respond positively to rude legal threats:
 * regarding comments posted by another person on my talk page,
 * in a situation where I had tried to be a moderating influence,
 * when you have not explained the basis of the legal action,
 * Successful legal action assumes several things, none of which may be true:
 * You have the money
 * You have the will
 * You have a good case
 * I have the money to make it worth your while, (but not so much I can afford a better lawyer) and
 * I have no will to stand up to bullying (if I decide that's what it is)


 * Please respond, civilly, on my talk page, and I will endeavor to cooperate with any reasonable request. Otherwise, please remove your abusive note from my talk page. --Chriswaterguy talk 00:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Your response:
 * "This is the second notice of pending legal action to both the editor and directors of the WIKIPEDIA project. THIS POST, IN TURN HAS BEEN PROPAGATED THROUGHOUT THE WORLD WIDE WEB AND HAS THEREBY PRESENTED AN INACCURATE AND DEFAMATORY IMAGE OF MR. GOOLSBEE. THIS IS YOUR SECOND WARNING THAT YOU SHOULD REMOVE THE STATEMENTS ABOUT MR. GOOLSBEE AND OFFER A SINCERE APOLOGY. FAILING THIS YOU WILL LEAVE US WITH NO OTHER OPTION THAN TO RESORT TO LEGAL ACTION. THIS ADVISORY IS DIRECTED AT THE WIKIPEDIA MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS AS WELL AS THE WRITER, WHO ARE ALL RESPONSIBLE FOR FAILING TO INSURE THAT TRUTHFUL AND ACCURATE INFORMATION ABOUT LIVING INDIVIDUALS IS PORTRAYED ON THIS WEBSITE." ~ I sincerely hope that you will choose the morally correct and ethical course of action in this instance. Signed this 27th Day of February 2007 1100 AM +9GMT by H. Alfred Goolsbee. This shall serve as the legally required second notification and warning. All interested parties can contact me by email at 'essene @ mac.com'.


 * You haven't answered the question: what exactly was defamatory content? That Proton44 identified as Goolsbee? Or that Proton44 was engaging in self-promotion and thereby breaking Wikipedia policy?
 * I have already made clear, I think that I intend to take the correct and ethical course of action. I will do this regardless of what I consider your uncivil manner. However, the ethical course does not include bowing to pressure and restricting freedom of speech without proper explanation of why it is justified (i.e. explaining where the inaccuracy is).
 * Quite clearly there was no intention to be mistruthful by the writer (even if he went further than I would have). This would make it harder to win a defamation case.
 * "THIS ADVISORY IS DIRECTED AT THE WIKIPEDIA MANAGEMENT AND DIRECTORS AS WELL AS THE WRITER" - none of those is likely to be reading my talk page. However, if you settle down and explain yourself, we can hopefully resolve this civilly without creating a bigger conflict and drawing more attention (which presumably you don't want). --Chriswaterguy talk 03:33, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Changes made
You would have achieved a far better outcome by being civil. As it is I've taken extra measures to remove any question of defamation, but left JdH's opinions, stated as opinions.

Regarding mirrors - they do not respond to such requests. You just have to wait for them to update automatically. --Chriswaterguy talk 05:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You have been blocked
In accordance with Wikipedia policy, this account has been blocked from editing until such time as legal threats are withdrawn or resolved. I apologize for the intrusion. Thank you for your time. – Luna Santin  (talk) 11:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks - I wasn't aware of that policy. --Chriswaterguy talk 23:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Your next step
Essene, my suggested next step is to cool down. The current statement is not defamatory. Statement of fact and anything stated as opinion are not defamatory - far worse things are said about George Bush and John Howard, and they have no legal recourse. Consider also that your current actions reflect on you in a far worse way than anything on my userpage.

However, if you still believe you've been defamed, then consider the following as your next step: No legal threats:


 * It is Wikipedia policy to delete libellous material when it has been identified. If you believe that you are the subject of a libellous statement on Wikipedia, please contact the information team.

So, contact them, rather than me. I have not responded to your requests to discuss it via email, as I am careful who I give my email address to. I think you'd agree that we haven't exactly built up a relationship of trust and respect here. I will however send a note from a temporary email address.

Hope that helps. --Chriswaterguy talk 23:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Essene. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Essene~enwiki that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name. If you think you might own all of the accounts with this name and this message is in error, please visit Special:MergeAccount to check and attach all of your accounts to prevent them from being renamed.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Yours, Keegan Peterzell Community Liaison, Wikimedia Foundation 23:47, 19 March 2015 (UTC)

Renamed
 This account has been renamed as part of single-user login finalisation. If you own this account you can |log in using your previous username and password for more information. If you do not like this account's new name, you can choose your own using this form after logging in: . -- Keegan (WMF) (talk) 12:41, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Quantumdot.png
Thanks for uploading File:Quantumdot.png, which you've attributed to Georgia Tech Research News & Publications Office. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [ your upload log]. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 12:43, 10 August 2016 (UTC)
