Hello SB Johnny!

Thank you for providing images to the Wikimedia Commons. Please keep in mind that images uploaded to the Commons should be useful to all users of Wikimedia projects. This is possible only if the images can be found by other people.

To allow others to find the images you uploaded here, the images should be in some place that can be found by navigating the category structure. This means that you should put the images into appropriate topic pages, categories, optionally galleries, or both of them (see Commons:Categories). To find good categories for your images, the CommonSense tool may help.

You can find a convenient overview of your uploaded files in this gallery.

The important point is that the images should be placed in the general structure somewhere. There are a large number of completely unsorted images on the Commons right now. If you would like to help to place some of those images where they can be found, please do!

Thank you. 92.12.109.228 15:54, 23 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

I find it highly unusual that an IP would paintball your image like that. And only one paintball thrown -- this was not a person who was interested in the war.

This "reading" of your recent history is a free and random service, happily provided by the commons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CarolSpears (talk • contribs)

A lot of my earlier uploads were in galleries rather than categories (since that's what I was told to do at the time). Not sure what you mean by paintballs (or wars, for that matter)... seems to me it was just someone trying to be helpful (if perhaps lacking in bedside manner). --SB_Johnny | talk 12:25, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Would you like the ogg I made of Go Forth and Die? I am not that much into metal, but I've enjoyed Dethklok often enough. -- carol (talk) 12:29, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I can upload it to my web site[1] or I can put it here and it can get deleted when they find it.... -- carol (talk) 12:30, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
So you're saying you want to upload a copyvio for the sake of annoying a fellow editor [2]? You might be pushing your luck a bit, Carol. --SB_Johnny | talk 12:36, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Do you know how long Jennifer Hewitt was not only here but prominently displayed in one of the Help like areas here? Dethklok has a different kind of wow than Ms. Hewitt does. I would be curious to see how long it would take the ogg to be deleted. And honestly, when I used to make tapes from the radio, the goal I had was to buy the records.
Annoying editors, I don't want to live or work in a world where everyone is seemingly on an even keel all of the time, or whatever cliche can be pulled out to describe that. -- carol (talk) 12:47, 4 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

I use some strong language -- I joined the internet via a bunch of young adult hackers. And the language and imagery I have is usually provided by the television that I see and the books I have read and by the movies I have seen and not that rarely, people I have worked with. It is strong to read but in real life, it is just funny. I think I only once threatened the life of a teenager. I was at work on a long snowy night and the brat kept announcing the time. "Did you know it is 7:55? Did you know it is 8:00?" I threatened to kill that one and didn't, the second time announcement, I had guessed it to be near to 10:00 so, it being 5 minutes instead of the two hours it felt like was emotional for me....
May 2008 is a long while.... -- carol (talk) 09:29, 5 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hi SB Johnny, thanks for helping out with categorizing uncategorized images! You might want to try hotcat. You can enable it in your preferences under gadgets. Hotcat makes tagging images with categories a lot easier. Multichill (talk) 19:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Either the germans use the word butter or they use the german word for butter to mean something entirely different than the collection of fat from the milk of a cow. I mention that now because I really do not like seeing all of those butterfly photographs. Sure, there is the child-safe moral like imagery with the crawly-ugly thing that one day opens up into one of those beautifully colorful flying insects that everyone likes to see. You should poke around, find a german and ask what the alternative meanings are and I can be not alone in my not particularly caring for these photographs.

Sorry to besmirch your talk page with this artsy gibberish. -- carol (talk) 15:44, 10 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

I would love to participate in the bloom clock project! But, I haven't had much experience with much more than the very basics of editing and I don't think I've ever used a template. I'm sure if you'd help me I could pick it up quickly though. SunshinestateOfMind (talk) 18:02, 10 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

When I get bored, I am going to look up those words. Thank you for not getting involved. Twice you told me that you have a real life that would prevent you from being involved.

I was involved on commons for several several months and I never saw anything like this with the exception of you and Juiced Lemon. I am being Juiced Lemoned now and I do have the expectation that when I look up those words that it says that others are not supposed to be uncommunicative when editing things that others are working on and that in a dispute, neither party (the person who violates the simple protocols of communication and looking at the big commons picture and those who are being violated against) are expendible.

The words being used these last few weeks are not words that are used on this wiki very often with the exception of since the problems at wikipedia. If the problem is that I have the opinion that the administration there has achieved dysfunction -- please do not deny my right to have an opinion, be it right or wrong and if there is an interest in changing the opinion, provide examples that do not involve blocking anyone for reasons that any onlooker might be able to attribute to being a little (pin) prick.

That being said, I suspected that I would be very depressed at the "change of order" when I removed my email from the preferences. Now, it appears that the single very in that statement is an understatement.

Real life and systems that are actually functioning have an operational cruft which is a problem real enough to provide the needed nemesis <-- is that the problem that the recently involved administration here (with the different language) is having?

The attempt to communicate should never be perceived as the problem.

Uneven justice and uneven justification for administration; could that be a problem?

The commons is not about one little area either; it is image storage for a whole world of ideas and locations. -- carol (talk) 17:22, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your note :-). I know you're trying to do your part to make commons a better place, but every day (perhaps) yet another person will discover commons and want to do the same. That's what I meant by "expendable": commons would go on without you if you left tomorrow, just as it would go on without me tomorow. That's the fun part of it too: your efforts, my efforts, and everyone's efforts will be built upon by others, even if we can't (for whatever reason) be a part of that future.
Don't be Juiced lemon, Carol. He forgot that he's just one among the many. The "many" is much more important than are I, you, or he. We come to commons to be part of a many that will (hopefully) outlive us. --SB_Johnny | talk 17:46, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I am not. I suggest that you look at what is happening with Bidgee and assign roles according to the problems that I encountered late in 2007.
Had there been any return communication which was not full of the tone and smell of "I am going to dominate this user and their efforts in this one little area" -- there are several similar problems in that whole tree that I could somewhat easily list.
Do you sense the same problem that I do when everyone protects the noncommunicative Bidgee and deletes the one little problem that Bidgee (a person whose edits are 50% to undo another contributors edits) had? -- carol (talk) 18:03, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
One more thing. That user Bidgee did not start doing those things you "had issues with Juiced" for in 2007 until I mentioned that I was really impressed with a category page that Juiced had designed. It does look like an experiment with everything that was wrong about the user and nothing that was correct and the administration taking the side of the wrong.
To be honest, having shared the information willingly on the image pages and also in a personal way on the talk pages, it was an attempt to make myself not indispensible. In real life and as a young adult, I had several ideas that people who were working within systems that I was working within (others and myself) were indispensible and that was proven to be wrong. Lately, there are a few things that I am no longer involved in which failed relatively quickly, however.
The term "near sighted" is a two definitioned word. It means that for some people easier to focus on things that are close -- I am nearsighted and the eye doctor said "you will probably be the last person in the car to be able to read the signs on the road". An educated statement entirely because my optical failure was right outside of the legal definition of needing glasses.
The term is also used to describe a group of people who can only look at one little piece of the picture or the system. How rude would it be of me to suggest that there has been an excess of this second definition by the people who are enabled and should be able to not work that way?
Also, there are templates that have appeared in the last few weeks/months which put uploaded images into categories according to which form they used. I had one little category like that and the feeling here is that a group of nearsighted people just deleted that. Is this feeling wrong and perhaps with the deletion of my little counter category, the categories that count the uploads via the different methods should also be deleted -- a big picture suggestion.... -- carol (talk) 18:13, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Issue started in 2007? Looking back it started in mid 2008. I noticed 2 categories which where incorrectly named and I fixed it. You put it up for deletion and both of the categories were kept and one of your categories was deleted and the other was left as a redirect (Until today when a nother editor marked it as a bad name) but you tried to undo all that by putting it back into the incorrect category inwhich there is no point in discussing somthing that was discussed. "Bidgee (a person whose edits are 50% to undo another contributors edits)" Incorrect. Bidgee (talk) 18:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I just came here to reply to SB's responce on AN/U. I hope that this issue can be dealt with since I'm sick of going over and over again. Bidgee (talk) 18:28, 26 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

If it is very important, I would appreciate if you dug what I said out of User:Bidgee's talk page history and assist me in making a simple request in a way that will be perceived as that.

I put the subgenus on the species page and I made the template that manages this new thing and those templates are going to be worked on a lot (I think) in the near future, so a little something from you to assist me in communicating that there is testing occurring to anyone (not just that one particular user) it would probably help many things/activities a lot. -- carol (talk) 09:55, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

This comment is telling me what not to do and refrain is used as part of warnings for vandals which has a meaning of "STOP NOW". "Please refrain from doing anything with the Eucalyptus species categories as right now, the templates are being refined. -- carol (talk) 08:53, 31 July 2008 (UTC)"[3]. Bidgee (talk) 09:59, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
I saw it. --SB_Johnny | talk 10:02, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
So the dissection? A way to request a few minutes? SB, perhaps you could undo something that this user has done recently, and provide an example for both of us of how to accomplish this thing. There are no sides that I can see. If I was not interested in the subgenus appearing on that category page I probably would not have added it to the template.
So, I think that a display of how to undo User:Bidgee's work properly (and even as in this case, only for a few moments) would be very helpful to both of us and extremely unwarlike. I have learned that saying please, giving an honest reason and also mentioning it before it is done does not work very well.
At the same time, how am I to respond when my work is undone? Do I claim sickness and should I start to erase things left on my talk page? For a behavior to be justified, it should work well for everyone. -- carol (talk) 10:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Carol, if you're experimenting, use Wikiversity. That's what Wikiversity is for. When your template is working properly, bring it back to commons and use it... Bidgee's edits are valid improvements, and the template will be yet another improvement. --SB_Johnny | talk 10:25, 31 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
My template is working and it took only minutes of removing something that I had placed there to get it that way. Thanks for mentioning it :)

There is a tribute in Michigan for construction workers that were killed on our highways while constructing and repairing them. It was very beautiful to see and very thought provoking, for me. It occurs at a rest area in a location which brags about being "halfway to the north pole", heh.
While I consider the comparison to be like comparing a speck with a mountain, so is this problem to me. Here are some photographs of the display:

I have actually had pretty good luck at universities when I was feeling ill. Due to the world-wide nature of the commons interface and access, perhaps those who are feeling ill due to not being able to emotionally manage an inclusion into a world environment -- perhaps wikiversity is the proper place for the internet ill ("sickened") as well. Just a suggestion from a "construction worker". -- carol (talk) 00:30, 2 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

The cyberstalking list (on w:Wikia servers) reached maximum publicity with the drama over Durova's indef block of User:!! ("Bang Bang") for causes she claimed where too secret to reveal to anyone; but turned out to be, in fact, the crime of being too good an editor, therefore he must be up to something. Everyone was so completely appalled at this lack of sense that Durova resigned her adminship in disgrace. She also claimed something about his speaking German being suspicious with regard to a famous dirty German song written by a famous classical composer that has a Wikipedia article on it. Googling Wikipedia or Wikipedia Review with some of the words I used here will get you more data, if you want a popcorn moment. w:User talk:Giano II revealed on Wikipedia Durova's email to the cyberstalking list (later copied to Wikipedia Review, where it was not censored) detailing all this and the BADSITE group demanded that it be deleted from Wikipedia and Giano punished for revealing a private email. Censorship under any excuse it the method of operating for these people. Cary Bass seemed to side with the censorship group then; it seems he has seen through their bull since then, but I am just guessing about that. There is a huge amount of drama around Giano as he is one of Wikipedia's most prolific and best writers of articles but he refuses to put up with the hypocrisy in Wikipedia's management - of which there is plenty.

In regards to your note on my page, what would you do here = Category:Campanula where there are no species galleries listed on the higher order page only species categories, of which all the images in the higher order page are in the species categories as well as two species gallery listings instead of only one. Should these be left linked in the species categories and taken out of the main page to clean it up, or is this what I have been missing in the suggestions and arguments that get me into hot water over my cleanup editing.
