User talk:Miranda/J

Rock of Love with Bret Michaels
I see that you're trying to keep this article under control. For what it's worth, I recently asked for the page to be again semi-protected. Some users, IP and otherwise, can't leave that table and it's colors alone! --OneCyclone 21:52, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Seems like they can't leave the winners alone, either! Miranda  22:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks and apologies
Thank you very much for the ad you made for WikiProject Engineering. I am very sorry that I took your time by requesting for this ad to be made. I can understand how long these take and I am extremely grateful that you made the ad. I didn't realise that you were about to take a long wikibreak and I asked you because you seemed to be the most experienced with these. I didn't notice that you created the ad until today as I have been quite busy for the last few days and didn't do much wiki editing. Once again I apologise sincerely. Have a good wikibreak. I am very sorry if this message annoys you. Thanks.:) Tbo 157   (talk)   (review)  17:22, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. No more ad requests please. Miranda  20:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Im sorry. I promise that I will never ask you to make another ad again.  It is just that you used to make ads for requests that were put on other user's talk pages, so I didn't think you had a problem with it.  I wouldn't have been bothered if you refused to make the ad as I have no right to force you to make one.   Tbo 157   (talk)   (review)  15:37, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * That's okay. I just need a break. I like making the ads, but I don't need a deadline in order to make them. I am not saying that you did that. However, I am very busy in real life. Miranda  02:22, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

Admin
Hello, I would like to nominate you for adminship. Would you like to accept? Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 04:50, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No, not yet. Please wait in a week or so. Thanks for your concern. Miranda  04:51, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Just a message
Hi Miranda; I've been going back through some of my contributions, and realised that (frankly) I've behaved poorly towards you - for example, my undoing of a protection of your userpage, a few months back. Perhaps the reason why I do all this is simply we just don't get on ... indeed, I think that is the reason. However, I'd just like to call a truce (used in the loosest sense of the word ... you've hardly done anything to me, and I'm willing to admit that) between us. I'm not asking us to be friends, and I doubt I ever will; simply, that we disengage from one another, except where engaging will benefit Wikipedia as a whole.

Kind regards, Anthøny   ん  11:09, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Julia Allison Photo
what's the reasoning for why my julia allison photo was removed? she's a public person. She appeared in public at Fashion week outside bryant park on public property. she routinely appears on all the major networks therefore negating her right to privacy by journalistic standards. she works as editor-at-large for star magazine, which routinely publishes photos of people without their permission or approval. what good is wikipedia if it's being censored because someone complains about a fact. BPL standards do not indicate this photo should be removed. if that is the case, then shouldn't julia get permission from the living source every time star magazine wants to publish a photo? Christopherpeterson 11:55, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

According to the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press’s Photographers’ Guide to Privacy, “If the subject of the photograph has no reasonable expectation of privacy, then no invasion of privacy is possible. Photographs taken in public places generally are not actionable. Photos of crimes, arrests and accidents usually are considered newsworthy and immune from privacy claims.”Legal Rights of Photographers

"The unauthorized use of an individual's identity in connection with a "news" or "public interest" story requires that there be a reasonable relationship between the person's identity and the subject of the story. When this connection exists then the individual's property rights in the right of publicity must yield to the First Amendment. An individual, to succeed on a right of publicity claim, must demonstrate that the property right in his/her identity was merely used as a vehicle to attract attention to the news or entertainment message. Furthermore, an individual cannot use the right of publicity to claim a property right in his/her likeness as reflected in photographs that were taken in a public place to illustrate a newsworthy story. Unauthorized biographies are also protected by the First Amendment; this is because the right of publicity cannot be used to stifle undesired discussion and legitimate commentary on the lives of public persons." Right of Publicity

Celebrities, public officials and private citizens involved in newsworthy incidences are all legally defined as public figures. Public figures actually have far fewer rights to privacy than an "ordinary person." Public figures break down into three types:


 * Public figure: A person who has achieved fame or notoriety or who has voluntarily become involved in a public controversy. A public figure (or public official) suing for defamation must prove that the defendant acted with actual malice.


 * All-purpose public figure: A person who achieves such pervasive fame or notoriety that he or she becomes a public figure for all purposes and in all contexts. For example, a person who occupies a position with great persuasive power and influence may become an all-purpose public figure, whether or not the person actively seeks attention.


 * Limited-purpose public figure: A person who, having become involved in a particular public issue, has achieved fame or notoriety only in relation to that particular issue.

How Paparazzi work

As Diane Zimmerman, a professor at New York University Law School, puts it, ``it's awkward to claim that your privacy is being infringed by the use of your name or your face when you make your living through the use of your name and your face." Star power

"When Erno Nussenzweig, an Orthodox Jew and retired diamond merchant from Union City, N.J., saw his picture last year in the exhibition catalog, he called his lawyer. And then he sued Mr. diCorcia and Pace for exhibiting and publishing the portrait without permission and profiting from it financially. The suit sought an injunction to halt sales and publication of the photograph, as well as $500,000 in compensatory damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages.

The suit was dismissed last month by a New York State Supreme Court judge who said that the photographer's right to artistic expression trumped the subject's privacy rights. But to many artists, the fact that the case went so far is significant." The Theater of the Street, the Subject of the Photograph By PHILIP GEFTER Christopherpeterson 13:27, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

"Clearly, plaintiff finds the use of the photograph bearing his likeness deeply and spiritually offensive. The sincerity of his beliefs is not questioned by defendants or this court. While sensitive to plaintiff's distress, it is not redressable in the courts of civil law. In this regard, the courts have uniformly upheld Constitutional 1st Amendment protections, even in the face of a deeply offensive use of someone's likeness. Thus, in Arrington, supra, the Court of Appeals recognized that an African American man's image was being used in a manner that conveyed viewpoints that were offensive to him. It nonetheless found the use of the image protected. In Costlow v. Cusimano, 34 AD2d 196 (4th dept.) the court held that the parents of [*8]children who died by suffocation when they trapped themselves in a refrigerator could not assert a privacy claim to prevent defendant from publishing an article with photographs of the premises and the deceased children, because the article was "newsworthy". These examples illustrate the extent to which the constitutional exceptions to privacy will be upheld, notwithstanding that the speech or art may have unintended devastating consequences on the subject, or may even be repugnant. They are, as the Court of Appeals recognized in Arrington, the price every person must be prepared to pay for in a society in which information and opinion flow freely. 55 NY2d at 442.

The court, therefore, finds that plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action under New York Civil Rights Laws §§ 50 and 51. Summary judgment is granted on such basis and the motion to strike the affirmative defense is denied. "

Can you please help me? I saw your edit on a page. Someone keeps removing my edits and I dont know how to stop them. Thanks so much! Colleenthegreat 02:02, 19 October 2007 (UTC) I am sorry I made you mad because you are removing my edit now! I am new here and I do not speak english very well.

Colleenthegreat 02:14, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't appreciate you removing my edits when they were not changing the content of the article. They were just making superficial changes, and you said I was changing things that have been researched. I hope you don't think you own that article. My edits were not hurting you Colleenthegreat 02:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Your changes were incorrect. You have made original research claims before in articles, and that's why I have reverted your changes. I am not owning the article. You said that graduate chapters exist in colleges, when in fact they don't. You have also followed me around in this article, which IMHO is considered to be stalking. And, I really don't have time for that. <font face="georgia" color="#E75480">Miranda  02:44, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I really don't read new messages when they pop up. If you wanted attention in order someone to help you, you could have waited or have asked someone else instead of following me and making edit conflicts while I was working on an article. That in my opinion, is kind of disruptive. Thanks for your changes. <font face="georgia" color="#E75480">Miranda  02:53, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Please don't bite the newcomers!
Hi Miranda,

Thanks for pointing out Colleenthegreat's original research to her. I also did not appreciate one of her edits on the polar bear article. But I thought the comment you left on her talk page was a bit harsh for a newbie. It's better to train and encourage a new volunteer and give them a chance to learn. Please don't bite the newcomers!--Yannick 06:58, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, however, I and several others are taking care of this situation. I do not believe I was biting her. And, I have responded to her in Polish. <font face="georgia" color="#E75480">Miranda  07:00, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, you might want to read this essay as well. <font face="georgia" color="#E75480">Miranda  07:03, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Short of Miranda actually slipping marshmallows to Colleen, that was probably the most polite way of phrasing the request. Not sure what you mean by biting, Yannick? ~ Riana ⁂ 07:12, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to pick a fight here. I just thought that could have been handled a bit more diplomatically, (although I don't know what was said in Polish,) and I thought I'd offer a friendly reminder. But for the record, I did write a personalized message to Miranda as that essay recommends, and I did not use a template.--Yannick 07:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I didn't bite Colleen. Yet, I felt when she followed me to the article that I was working on in order to make edit conflicts, I thought something was up. <font face="georgia" color="#E75480">Miranda  07:20, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

...for watching over my user page! That account has done the same redirect vandalism to several pages - probably has received enough warnings already and might be time for a block or at least a final warning? Tvoz | talk 04:35, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

 * What can I say - it's been a long day. I was looking at the log history of the talk page, which of course is the wrong place to look. Sorry! And thanks.... Tvoz | talk 05:28, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

RFCU backlog
Is there anything that can be done about this huge backlog? Rlevse 18:45, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess the only thing to do is to hassle the CheckUsers into doing some more work! Things are getting out of hand now. You could ask ArbCom for emergancy checkuser access to clear the backlog yourself if you have technical knowledge?  Ry an P os tl et hw ai te  18:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Rudget RfA
Dearest Opposer, Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed unsuccessfully with 39 supports, 15 oppose, and 1 neutral. I would have liked to gain some experience of being an admin, but it wasn't to be. At least I gained some valuable time there and will use my knowledge picked up to my next candidacy. I would like to say once again, thank you for voting and I hope to see you at my next request be it a nomination or self-induced, I hope I don't get as many questions!

Flower!


Having recieved this flower, you are now compelled to stop being ill, write a featured article etc. :D Only kidding. I'm just in a good mood, so make the most of this unusual occurence – Gurch 23:32, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Gurch. I am happy that you are happy. <font face="georgia" color="#E75480">Miranda  02:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm really sorry.
I must of had a brainfart! I'll try to be a little smarter next time around. Really sorry about that. Kevin 21:49, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Get well soon!
Dearest Miranda,

I hope you get well soon! Here's a few humorous quotes about illness I've found: <i>


 * I reckon being ill as one of the great pleasures of life, provided one is not too ill and is not obliged to work till one is better.


 * Samuel Butler


 * I wonder why you can always read a doctor's bill and you can never read his prescription.


 * Finley Peter Dunne


 * Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill.


 * Johnny Carson


 * You have a cough? Go home tonight, eat a whole box of Ex-Lax - tomorrow you'll be afraid to cough.


 * Pearl Williams</i>

I hope that's at least partially cured you (the best cure for illness is laughter)! Get well soon! <font face="Franklin Gothic Book"> Jonathan 01:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for adding that - I was unaware that it existed! Dylan 18:40, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

I've replied to your comment on my talk page rather than yours. I commented there so that my remarks might serve as the general notice you suggested creating. Dylan 22:00, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
