[edit] Why did you lock Polanski?

Why did you lock the Polanski article?99.142.8.221 (talk) 01:18, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

On the contrary, I unlocked it. It was locked even harder before I came by today. -- Y not? 01:26, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

You may want to double check. This[1] was 4 edits prior to your lock...99.142.8.221 (talk) 01:42, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Oh my... I think you're right... I didn't realize the edit part of the October 1 action had an expiration date. All the same, this article remains a target and it is a BLP, so longer-term semi-protection is appropriate. I won't self-revert, but you're welcome to raise the issue at WP:RFP. -- Y not? 13:05, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I've brought the issue to AN/I[2] for oversight.99.142.8.221 (talk) 14:59, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I deleted this. Images are public domain according to your rational "This is an official portrait by the U.S. District Court staff and is therefore public domai" if they are created by an employee of the U.S. federal government. All other administrative levels are under regular copyright. --Martin H. (talk) 08:24, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Don't get it. USDC staff are federal employees. Wikipedia is chock full of judicial materals, such as stuff from the Federal Judicial Center etc. etc. What are you talking about? -- Y not? 21:52, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Your right, im sorry, was the first image from that source I found for review. Ill restore it and revert any delinks. --Martin H. (talk) 16:10, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Cool. Thanks for restoring. -- Y not? 16:56, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

No no, thanks for explaining me the mistake. --Martin H. (talk) 17:03, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

[edit] You're invited!

New York City Meetup Next: Sunday November 15th, Columbia University area Last: 09/13/2009 This box: view • talk • edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia at the Library and Wikipedia Loves Landmarks, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects, for example particular problems posed by Wikipedia articles about racist and anti-semitic people and movements (see the September meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

[edit] R1a article

Hi. Saw your recent edit to R1a. As a recent editor on the article your perspective on the talk page discussions right now would be appreciated. Things are slightly messy, but a few outside views might work wonders. I am writing to all recent editors of the article.--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 21:04, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree it looks hard to get into but that is just because of the failed discussions on the talkpage. I have tried to make it easy with a diff, so that you can compare two proposed versions of the R1a article. Most differences of opinion have been to do with wording, and the question of what is encyclopedic. For example, is the word haplogroup jargon that should be removed from this article about a haplogroup? See [3].--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 16:07, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Have no desire to wade in. Good luck ;) -- Y not? 04:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
