WilyD, your appeal for parties to discuss the issue is much appreciated. considering that there have recently been large amounts of bad faith affecting previous discussions on these topics making any sort of resolution almost impossible (see the recent threads), could you help out as an informal mediator- if anything to help facilitate dispute resolution and ensure the back-and-forth reverts don't resume after protection has been lifted? thanks.

Toronto's Wikimania 2008 bid
Is there some co-ordinating centre for this and work that needs to be done/ideas discussed? I didn't see anything, but you're listed as the co-ordinater. I'd be willing to pitch in, and I imagine many others would too ... maybe I'm blind, but I didn't see it on meta. Wily D 15:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Wily, the bid page is here. Basically, we need people to get ideas of who might sponsor, who might speak at the convention (just brainstorm ideas, don't contact yet), and also just general improvement of what we have already. Take a look at other bids (Atlanta and London being the most developed) and see what they're suggesting that sounds cool, or how they're presenting information to make it more appetizing. Basically, whatever angle you or anyone else wants to come at this, please do! --  Zanimum 14:34, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 15:10, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

The Carell Pic
I was watching the Carell picture in the Deletion pages, and I feel it was wrongly deleted. It's being reviewed here:  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Silent Wind of Doom (talk • contribs) 02:56, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

While you're technically right to dispute the copyright status of the photograph, why bother? Wily D 17:27, 15 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Because if I transfer it to Commons with all the paperwork I get shit for it. // Liftarn

Amazing, I truly wasn't expecting such a quick answer. I now need to know how someone can restore the affected articles. I mean, can I restore them? Is there a deadline or something similar? Flamarande 16:32, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Polite Request from a techno-fool
Hi WilyD - it's me who you helped a few months back when uploading a pic for Trooping the colour.

I am now writing another article and would like to ask you if you can check the licenses and upload the following pix into Wikimedia Commons if permissible: (I have given suggested captions)

"Boar's head on 33-35 Eastcheap"

"Peek House, 20 Eastcheap" - NB I am not sure if this photo is public... I have just checked. It IS public, but says "No Derivative works". Can we still use it?

I am looking for a photograph of 33-35 Eastcheap that will be usable but have had no luck so far. any help appreciated.

Please send a note to my talk page when you have uploaded the pix, and thanks again.

thanks for uploading these 2 images. --FClef (talk) 23:10, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Dear Wily, thanks for answering and for advice. One day, when I have some strength to do so I will attempt to join Flickr!


 * Meanwhile, if you are in London, please consider taking a full frontal pic of 33-35 Eastcheap and slinging it into Commons. (Remarkable Victorian building on north side of Eastcheap opposite Lovat Lane.)  Then, walk over to the north side and train your camera on the camel train at 20 Eastcheap on the corner of Lovat Lane!  --FClef  (talk) 12:52, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Wily,

Would you please keep an eye on this section. The material in dispute belong to opposition section and not last years in Mecca. The current section of "opposition" is divided in two sections (Early years in Mecca and Opposition in Mecca). A consensus may form there... Well at least I hope...

Best wishes,

--Aminz 09:16, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
