Sega Project Newsletters
I almost forgot to mention, Gaogier, that I have started issuing newsletters as part of the Sega Project. Another one is coming up, but here's the first two since you missed them.

Thought I'd catch you up
Hey, Gaogier. Just thought I'd catch you up on things that have happened on here around me and the Sega Project since you left. There's been a lot, so I'll try to make this quick and I'll list it out.

The Good

 * I wrote the Sega Project's first featured list, List of Sega 32X games. I'm also working on List of Sega Mega-CD games and raising it to FL.
 * I know you've seen the .svg image that is now our logo, and I've put it on all of our templates.
 * The C-Class was added to the assessment scale (between B-Class and Start-Class), and I decided to make sure we implement it into the project.
 * Crush 40 and Sega Mega Drive reached GA status, and I strongly contributed to both.
 * Sonic the Hedgehog cruft is being taken care of, and I mean articles that were really bad. For example, Articles for deletion/Angel Island (Sonic the Hedgehog)

The Bad/Neutral

 * I kind of had a bad experience that I really don't like to think about too much...
 * Sonic the Hedgehog (character) was delisted from GA status.

So that kind of sums it up. Red Phoenix flame of life...protector of all... 02:41, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

But I can't, i'm a sock, thats why i posted here, it is also why i cannot change the flag on all my pages, ill have to wait for my IP to change again :(, Please can you copy it over, I have added it to my version of your page below. Gao gier  Chat! 22:19, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm Not Good At Expressing Myself But Here Goes For User:Gaogier
Virtual Steve i am really sorry for all my mistakes and i regret that i made them, though the time of being banned i have started to understand what i had done wrong and i do believe most of it is my fault and i should not of made those decisions, right now i am asking for a chance to reclaim my account so i can get some of the many tasks of the Sega project done, since the project is pile up more work day by day and there is only two other people on the project doing anything at all, back to my point i am really sorry and i hope you can understand this because it is coming straight from the heart, thank you and i hope you make the right choice.  Gao gier  Chat! 02:54, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

PS: This IP is not me.


 * Gaogier - I have an initial question regarding your last point before I re-consider. Can you give your view as to why this IP edited on User:Gaogier/Syolus (which of course was a very obscure page) & and this image which you created (Image:Syole uk2.PNG.)as if it was you? -- VS talk 07:32, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Syole is my own company that i am trying to build but it is not going well so far, i tried to build my own wikipedia page within my account for it for my own purpose only ^^ That IP could of been someone in my house, I do not know but I do know that that was not me I am unsure on anything to do with it sorry, any chance you can some how revive my Syole page :( ?  Gao gier  Chat! 02:12, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Please help me for I lay down on my second leg ad cry for this :(  Gao gier  Chat! 00:55, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Gaogier - I am not prepared to revive the Syole page because it reflects conflict of interest. ... I am however prepared to unblock you if you are prepared to commit here to your following of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines as far as is possible and definitely to not purposefully disrupt wikipedia in any way? Please let me know if you accept this chance by replying in an affirmative statement that reflects your commitment and understanding that any further disruption will result in an immediate re-blocking?-- VS talk 10:59, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
 * PS One of the first things you need to do before you are unblocked is not return the flag to your Gaogier page as you have at TempGao - this flag hides the edit, history and other tabs and is inappropriate. TempGao is of course a sock at this stage and will need to be deleted.-- VS  talk 11:07, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

I accept and i shall do as so, But please don't delete TempGao util i have copied all the pages (With all the buttons showing instead of full flag) to my Main Account. I have printed out Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and I am reading them all. Gao gier  Chat! 21:59, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:MichaelAtTheWhiteHouse.png
Thanks for uploading Image:MichaelAtTheWhiteHouse.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 19:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? MECU ≈ talk 19:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Your Block Case
Hey Gaogier. I've decided that I'm going to try and help you get unblocked. As you said yourself, you say that you feel like 'a bandit' around here, and you sound like you're sorry for what happened in the first place. Anyway, let's start by going over the situation. (lol I'm going to set this up like one of my assessments).

According to your block log, you were blocked for this reason by VirtualSteve:


 * (Abusing sock puppet accounts: Please see block notice for evidence links that this editor is usurping other accounts; maliciously redirecting FA redirects; and removing user page content using other sock IPs)

Okay, well, first off, we'll address the sock puppet issue. Starting with the IP's, obviously you forgot to log in. It's not unusual for someone to have multiple IP's, I have one that's 149. something here at college and one that's 72. something at my home in Fort Wayne. It might be helpful, though, if you can catch yourself after you sign it under an IP address, and just mention that that person is you. It's a good idea to manually sign all your posts. Just tell the admin that you're sorry about that.

As for the usurping other accounts, this is probably the most damaging bit. What did you do? I remember reading something about you and Chicken7. I really can't help you with this one since I don't know what happened.

As for your dispute with Doktor Wilhelm that led up to the block, you can use some of his comments that he left me here. You also apologized to that the first time, I saw, and you did recognize what you did wrong. You might also help your case by telling the admin that you now recognize that a situation like this is something to take to dispute resolution.

For the FA redirects, well, I saw the General Sherman redirect, and yeah, you probably shouldn't have done that one. But let's be realistic here, is it really that malicious? Granted, it's not exactly a good redirect, but it's not like you redirected something absolutely ridiculous. Tell the admin you made a misjudgment, and a tip for the future: people are sensitive about redirecting away from an FA since FA's are supposed to be Wikipedia's best articles.

Anyway, basically you're going to really have to apologize to the admin, tell them you know what you did was wrong (for all four cases, don't try to defend yourself unless you didn't do one of them), and show them you know what the right thing to do is. That's the best I can give you for now, feel free to send me something on my talk page if you've got comments. <font color="#FF0000">Red Phoenix <font color="#FFA500">flame of life...<font color="#FFFF00">protector of all... 18:30, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

You have been unblocked and your pages are no longer protected
Okay Gaogier - based on our discussion and your agreement at my talk page I will unblock you on the conditions agreed to by you You can now recommence your editing. Please remain within our agreement and return only to the previously good editing that you did. If unsure ask myself or another administrator for advice or assistance. Good luck & welcome back. I will wait a day or two before deleting TempGao.-- VS talk 22:17, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Sega Project Logo
Gaogier, Ryulong decided the SP logo was derivative and deleted it. While we discuss and come up with more, here's what I've snapped together as a temporary logo.



Will that work in the meantime? <font color="#FF0000">Red Phoenix <font color="#FFA500">flame of life...<font color="#FFFF00">protector of all... 21:54, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Image:Post Project ship in CS Gardens.jpg
Could you forward the email permission you recieved (along with a link to where you have uploaded the images it applies to) to the Wikimedia OTRS team on the address given here? This means that the permission for the image is stored by Wikimedia, and the images won't end up deleted as a precaution. J Milburn (talk) 17:31, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Was the permission received by email? If you open the email, there should be a 'forward' button, allowing you to send it to another address. Send it to the address given on the link above, and add a note saying 'I have uploaded this image to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Post_Project_ship_in_CS_Gardens.jpg'. Otherwise, there is no evidence that the image is licensed as you say it is. Shortly after you upload an image to Wikipedia, it will be copied all over the Internet. J Milburn (talk) 17:36, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, don't copy it to me, forward it to the address above. Do you honestly not know how to do that? Open the email from your inbox, and somewhere near the 'reply' button, there will be a button that says 'forward'. Don't forget to add a note saying where the image you have uploaded is, so that the OTRS volunteers can add a message verifying the licensing. J Milburn (talk) 17:49, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, there's no reason to delete the image- just forward the email with a note about where you have uploaded it. It only takes two minutes. J Milburn (talk) 17:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:
Sorry that I've been gone so long, Gaogier, it's just that school has really kept me busy lately. But, to answer your question, I'm sorry to say that I don't think it was the right decision. It's not that the project scope is too small, or that our member list is too small, but that our number of active members is low. Personally, I don't see how making the project a VG task force will help out either, since it's all just a dumb matter of organization, and that's my opinion.

Unfortunately, I have to stay semi-retired because of my life right now, not to mention that I'm finding editing on Wikipedia less and less fun, and it's going to be rough without me for the project, I know. But even if the project folds, I'm glad to know that the project helped me find fellow editors that I can work with and count on. <font color="#FF0000">Red Phoenix <font color="#FFA500">flame of life...<font color="#FFFF00">protector of all... 16:30, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Buckingham Palace is not the primary residence
A remark is now included by myself further to what you yourself have said briefly on this Talk Page relating to Buckingham Palace Gaogier. I must add that if anyone is interested in this rather obscure affair other sites both in Wikipedia and elsewhere can be detailed. I must add also that in my own opinion this is clearly, even if rather obscure and apparently irrelevant, a nationally signifcant issue in historical and architectural terms, at a European level.

Hey!
Wow, Simon, I'm surprised you're still here. Do you remember me from the Sega Task Force? Of course, back then it was WikiProject Sega. I've been pretty much retired for the last four years, but I've thought about making a comeback tour since I have some free time now, and I'm also quite a bit older. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? <font color="#FF0000">Red Phoenix <font color="#FFA500">build the future...<font color="#FFFF00">remember the past... 14:35, 3 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh absolutely I'm all for it, if I have time. I've gone from being a freshman in college to an assistant manager at one of the largest retailers in the United States, so I will admit at times I'm likely to be quite busy, but I'd still love to come back and work on WP:SEGA again.  I still am and always will be a fan of Sega and of Sonic the Hedgehog.  I think we have such a unique opportunity now that it's almost like starting over, but that seems like a neat opportunity.  I'm still restructuring my pages again to get organized, so I'll keep the discussion going at the Sega task force's talk page and we can catch up there and start talking about the reboot.  Long live WP:SEGA!  <font color="#FF0000">Red Phoenix  <font color="#FFA500">build the future...<font color="#FFFF00">remember the past... 15:28, 8 May 2013 (UTC)

License tagging for File:User Simon Alexander Tolhurst.gif
Thanks for uploading File:User Simon Alexander Tolhurst.gif. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:05, 7 May 2013 (UTC) Unspecified source/license for File:User Simon Alexander Tolhurst.gif

Thanks for uploading File:User Simon Alexander Tolhurst.gif. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like PD-self (to release all rights), (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot (Talk • Contribs • Owner) 01:25, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:User Simon Alexander Tolhurst.gif)
Thanks for uploading File:User Simon Alexander Tolhurst.gif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:23, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

New deal for page patrollers
Hi ,

In order to better control the quality  of new pages, keep out the spam, and welcome the genuine newbies, the current system we introduced in 2011 is being updated and improved. The documentation and tutorials have also been revised and given a facelift. Most importantly a new user group New Page Reviewer has been created.

Under the new rule, you may find that you are temporarily unable to mark new pages as reviewed. However, this is nothing to worry about - most current experienced patrollers are being accorded the the new right without the need to apply, and if you have significant previous experience of patrolling new pages, we strongly encourage you to apply for the new right as soon as possible - we need all the help we can get, and we are now providing a dynamic, supportive environment for your work.

Find out more about this exiting new user right now at New Page Reviewers and be sure to read the new tutorial before applying. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2016 (UTC)

Image source problem with File:MJ We Are The World Illustration.png
Thank you for uploading File:MJ We Are The World Illustration.png.

This image is a derivative work, containing an "image within an image". Examples of such images would include a photograph of a sculpture, a scan of a magazine cover, or a screenshot of a computer game or movie. In each of these cases, the rights of the creator of the original image must be considered, as well as those of the creator of the derivative work.

While the description page states who made this derivative work, it currently doesn't specify who created the original work, so the overall copyright status is unclear. If you did not create the original work depicted in this image, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright.

If you have uploaded other derivative works, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created [ in your upload log]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F4 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC). If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --TheImaCow (talk) 17:09, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
