I'm writing regarding the fact that I have acquired two websites, who have accepted my request to supply Wikipedia with images. I'm not sure how to carry on, so as per Blofeld's recommendation I have approached you to assist me.
I would like a license such as this one, with Kollywoodtoday.com and Behindwoods.com [1]. If you want photograpjhic/written evidence of their acceptance please ask!
Thanks for the immediate reply - I've got into some hot water at times with images. If i copy and paste their respecrive messages here, will you kindly take ove rthe proceedings? Cheers. Universal Hero 19:53, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to bother you, and I hope I don't make you regret ever having waded into the morass that is alternative medicine. The user who was edit warring – and who caused you to protect homeopathy the first time around – is now trying to bait other editors: [2].

Thanks, Riana. Did you just send your replies? I've not gotten anything from you in over a week. Speaking of deleted pages, your own page seems to be missing. If you want something austere but functional, might I suggest adapting my "toolbar" (the bar with the links on my page) for your purposes? I've seen other admins' pages, where they divide links by categories (deletions, etc.) I'm just not used to seeing blank userpages, but it's up to you of course. Thanks again for reprotecting my page! --Kyoko 15:21, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Riana, I'd appreciate it if you could just delete the images. This vandal is incredibly persistent, both here and on Commons. I can have the accounts blocked when they pop up, but once the images are uploaded, he uses dynamic IPs to remove the speedy tags and I sometimes have to revert multiple times before an admin gets around to working the deletion category. I don't know if the image names can be salted here and/or on Commons (Roitr always uploads images under the same filenames.) Videmus OmniaTalk 17:13, 19 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I am concerned that a User:Universal Hero has obtained permission to use images from kollywoodtoday and has this permission registered in the OTRS register. This user has at least 2x provided incorrect copyright information and once lied about it. I think its possible this user has faked the permission from Kollywoodtoday.com. Does any check with kollywoodtoday take place beyond this user's contact with them when the permission has been uploaded into OTRS? What would be the best way to proceed?
I also raised a sockpuppetry case as this user seems to be extremely similar to another (few) users who were banned for copyright issues, including faking OTRS information

Thanks for the tip! The code for my page looks so funny over there! Not as funny as seeing Jimbo staring back at me, but still... If cascading protection is in effect, would unprotecting User:Kyoko/Header work, or would that let anybody change it? --Kyoko 02:19, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, forgot to cascade protect, I'll do that now. But unprotecting the header will work if it's cascade protected, yep. ~ Riana ⁂ 02:20, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Actually I took off cascade protection because it protects anything you have transcluded on your userpage.css - meaning it protects your header so you can't write in it, and it protects the defcon so other people can't update it. Instead I've moved your header to User:Kyoko/header.css and transcluded it into User:Kyoko/Header and protected that, so that only you can change your header once again. Hope that helps :) ~ Riana ⁂ 02:25, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Now I'm confused. If I want to change my header, I change User:Kyoko/header.css, right? --Kyoko 02:31, 25 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
