 * Comments

Making posts of Britton's art work since he cannot do so on Wiki-Pedia. He uploads them and I link them. I am cautiuos not to post any offensive material, I see nothing wrong with his requests. --FelsenVonEngland 03:27, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * How is he uploading the pictures when his other accounts are all blocked? IrishGuy talk 20:16, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * He's uploading the images to Wikimedia using accounts there, then linking those images here via sockpuppets. Pete.Hurd 20:34, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Britton suggested the name Felsen Von England, He said it meant "Rock of England" which I liked a lot. I can change my user name to something else. Is the name offensive? He is talking to another mutual friend named Allan also. I would expect more artwork contribution. Is that a bad thing? --FelsenVonEngland 22:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I remember now how we came to the name, I speak a little German. He asked how you would say english stone in German. I said I dont know, but von england is of england, then Felsen is rock. So I chose Felsen Von England for Rock of England.--FelsenVonEngland 22:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Checkuser has already confirmed that FelsenVonEngland is a sockpuppet of BrittonLaRoche. Having other people set up accounts for you to perpetrate your work in an effort to evade an indefinite block is, indeed, a bad thing. IrishGuy talk 22:44, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * "Is that a bad thing?" Yes, Britton it is. As has been explained to you previously elsewhere, if the images contributed are merely digital manipulations of images grabbed whilly-nilly then there is the assumption that they violate the original artist's rights. Pete.Hurd 22:47, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I do not know anything of what he has made other than I posted for him. I am only doing a favor for him, and I can stop. But, I do not see why he is doing any thing bad, by asking me to post his work when he cannot. H easked me to creat celtic toe, but I knew little of it, and felt it waste of time, so I made a redirect to the morton's toe.  I think he is only having fun.  But most of his articles do not interest me, so I only link his pictures for him. --FelsenVonEngland 22:55, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I talk to Britton, he said he does all his work, and asked who had reported my account, then before I could answer he listed several names. Only two were not posting here. He said more, but it is not important. I see him do many things for games also. In my opinion all this is silly, I am losing inetrest. (on both sides)--FelsenVonEngland 23:12, 18 July 2006 (UTC)


 * User:DarkAudit claims to have found the original source for one of your images.  If this is so, then it must be assumed that more than one are non-original Pete.Hurd 23:20, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I do not know what you refer to, and honestly I am not interested. I spoke to Britton, said he will post his responses on EnglishStone to all: I bid you good night. I believe that I will stay out of the matter.--FelsenVonEngland 00:07, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
