Rejecting a case[edit]
Hi Daniel, I am assisting AGK while he is away on vacation (I note that WJBscribe is also helping out). I rejected a case on the pending list: "Request for mediation/Android (operating system)." It's fairly uncontroversial, so I signed it off as rejected in the "Committee decision" section and then moved it out of the pending section on "Current and unassigned cases." I don't want to interfere with the bot so that's all I did. My question is: Does the bot then move the case into the "Recently rejected requests" section, or do I do that manually?

Hi and Thanks[edit]
I thank you for reverting my toungue-in-cheek insertion on Agatha Award. In fact I very probably would have reverted it myself had you not (I pride myself for being a serious editor), but I still think there should be some comment about Agatha's not-so-nice treatment of jews, don't you ? Jon Ascton (talk) 19:48, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
- I had seconds thoughts since then. I have reverted your reversion back to my comment about her bias towards jews. And I have given references this time.-- Jon Ascton (talk) 16:51, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Copyright question[edit]
Hi, Daniel. :) A contributor came by my page today with a question about the copyright cleanup at Music of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. He seems concerned that there may be backwards infringement or copyright fraud going on. You removed the content here, but there's no indication of source and I didn't find anything in OTRS about it (for some reason, searching for text doesn't always work for me. :/). Can you give me any more information about this? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:14, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, Daniel. I see you've not been around much, but you have edited a couple (literally! :D) of times. Do you have any input here? --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:38, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
- Whoops, sorry, missed this the first time around. I'll see if I can pull up the ticket, if only the search function was better in OTRS... Daniel (talk) 01:51, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ticket #2010070310005654 ... a neat trick to remember, if you can't find it via text search, what I like to do is to find the date the ticket was closed (in this case I took a punt it was between 02 July and 04 July, based on when I made the edit), and set it to display all tickets closed between those dates (this parameter is at the botom of the search page), and then set "Bryant Daniel" as the owner. Cheers, Daniel (talk) 01:56, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Great tip! Thanks so much. I'm often frustrated by the search parameter, and this could vastly simplify my life. :) I've logged the old ticket # at the talk page. The contributor who approached me, as I said, is concerned abut potential copyright fraud, so I'm going to take a look at the history of the article to see if that seems true. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:16, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Just in case you're interested, the copyright complaint is valid: [1]. Some material does seem to have been added by other contributors, but there's no doubt of infringement. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:23, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Issue with Omar Epps article[edit]
Hey Daniel, I see you've dealt with user Oepps before with regard to the Omar Epps article so I was hoping you might know better how to deal with this situation. The user (possible COI, right?) keeps adding in text (diff) taken directly from the IMDB article about Epps. Besides being what I believe to be a copyright violation the edit also ends up removing the biographical information and basically repeating what's already in the career section. I've attempted to get the editor to communicate their intentions but so far it's a no-go and they just keep putting the stuff back in. Anything you can do to help would be appreciated. Thanks. SQGibbon (talk) 17:37, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
- I'll email you in a second. Cheers and thanks for the heads-up, Daniel (talk) 03:02, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

I have skimmed through the pages you have given me and I now understand what I did wrong. I didn't use reliable sources. Once again, I'm sorry. I really had no idea that I caused any trouble. Nations United (talk) 06:33, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Request assistance: Invasion of privacy (restraining order)[edit]
Please refer to Talk:Norbert_Basil_MacLean_III#Invasion_of_privacy_and_libellous. I have made a formal letter of complaint to the Wikipedia Foundation via FedEx, faxed to +1-415-882-0495 and emailed to: 'info@wikimedia.org'. To date no response. The following section, Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Restraining_orders, refers me to the OTRS System. On that page I am referred to you. Any assistance you can provide to handle this issue would be greatly appreciated. My direct email is norb.maclean@yahoo.com.au (Norbert3 (talk) 09:01, 9 September 2010 (UTC))
- What you want to do is email the appropriate the OTRS queue, which most likely would be info-en (info-en@wikimedia.org) for a OTRS member to deal with the request as appropriate. Peachey88 (T · C) 10:32, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
