I'm so glad that you liked it. It makes it all worthwile. Well, that and Doubler finally admitting that some of his members might be using alternate characters in inappropriate ways and that the argument about my use of the images was crap. --Akule 01:57, 19 June 2006 (BST)

Lately ive been thinking of doin some certain stuff. But i dont want to mention anything about it really. you have a email address i can reach you at? DarkStar2374383 ^{Talk | LDY | LOE} 12:55, 19 June 2006 (BST)

Akule, you recieved your first warning for vandalism. further vandalism will result in your loss of editing privilages. the vandalism in question was uploading the picture of The Fifth Horseman.--Vista 18:11, 20 June 2006 (BST)

Gotcha. I didn't realize that uploading a picture of someone was worse than the logos I redesigned. I'll avoid doing that in the future. --Akule 17:53, 22 June 2006 (BST)

Re: Arbitration ruling clarification request

You may wish to ask Hagnat or Brizth, but I get the feeling that there isn't another way (other than opening a new arbitration case). Then again, arbitration rules are not my strong point. –Xoid ^S•T•FU! 04:11, 15 September 2006 (BST)

thanks! --Akule 16:16, 15 September 2006 (BST)

First of all, there's no rules concerning changing arbitration rulings, so technically anything is possible. Common (?) sense says that larger changes warrant a new arbitration case, but at least in this particular case I feel just modifying the old ruling is ok. The spirit of the ruling is quite clear in my opinion, and I feel that's the one we should follow. Since Xoid wrote the original I think he should make the changes, but my general thoughts are these:

Rule #4 (and #2) seems rather ambiguous, with the first sentence speaking about interaction (which I think includes changing someone's journal) and the second sentence talking about contacting the other party (which IMO only includes talk pages). This edit would fall under normal group page ownership guidelines anyway. Hmm. Maybe explicitly listing all the forbidden pages is not such a good idea, as he could (and did) claim that they do not fall under the ruling. I believe the usual arbitration wording is "Pages where X can be considered an invested party". Or something similar. Ironically, that would be even more ambiguous than the current ruling, but in a good way...

Bah, what am I blathering here. Xoid should know what he meant with the ruling and should be able to re-phrase it. --Brizth ^{M T}

Out of curiosity...

What IS the driving force behind your sudden interest in the large and debatable field of electronic copyright law? Your research and effort put into it shows more than a passing fancy. I'd just like to know the reasons behind your interest, without the chaff of other folks jumping to conclusions about you. --MorthBabid 20:02, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, how well do you think they represent the will of the populus, for starters? Are there places where you feel the letter of the law could be expanded, even if you don't personally know how? --MorthBabid 08:57, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Law student--ok. But you still haven't really indicated a motive--I mean, is all this out of a sincere and grave fear for Kevan's welfare, out of a pure, driven sense of justice (such justice as the laws may be argued as providing for), to annoy/harass/get attention... not accusing or favoring any one of these (or any other motive), just sincerely wondering. In any case, it seems like a lot of effort that needs some kind of significant motive. I mean, if I see litter I pick it up, try to do my part--but I don't go around trying to clean the streets in my free hours. --Barbecue Barbecue 22:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Does my motive really matter? The idea is to keep Kevan safe and clean up the wiki. --Akule ^{Maker of fine, hand-crafted UDWiki sass since 2006 -- Akule ^{School's back in session™}} 02:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Just let it go. Stop arguing. don't try to go to arbitration, don't add anymore to the discussion. right now nothing productive is coming from it and if you continue it never will.

Toe Tags

Hi. Just wanted to notify you that your "toe tags" clothes suggestion was implemented sneakingly along with some other clothes suggestions about a week ago. They can be found in hospitals/fort infirmaries and NTs --~~~~_T^''' 13:04, 25 August 2007 (BST)

Excellent! I'm glad that Kevan liked the idea. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 16:54, 27 August 2007 (BST)

Copyright Crusade

I honestly believe you are taking it too far. Yes, some images are clear copyright rip-offs. Yes, I believe the mostly unused ones should be deleted. However, your recent deletion "crusade" is taking things too far. At this rate, even if you are entirely in the right, nobody will listen to you. Radicals have alot of trouble. SuperMario24 02:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Quite possibly, however, Kevan said things will be changing. A fact that many people are having problems with. --User:Akule ^{Akule News.} 02:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Then try to minimize your crusade until that change comes. Your alienating yourself and those few on the wiki who would support you. SuperMario24 02:55, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[1] - Pardus 22:31, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

That's fine and good, however, until the current system changes, we have to be careful. Even then, the current copyright policy of the wiki is pretty clear. Currently, we're working on categorizing images first, then we can move on to the next step. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 19:55, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

The wiki is/isn't commercial

Hello could help but notice the last flare up in the great wiki copyright wars and I would like to try and end it once and for all. It seams, to me at least, this clearly is a commercial website but there seems to be some confusion that free does not mean noncommercial. Is there anywhere were kevan has said that the wiki is commercial? A quote from him could bring an end to that part of struggle and you seam like the person who would know where it was if it existed already. - Vantar 00:37, 8 September 2007 (BST)

Well... heh, I'm not akule, and try to stay out of the copyright drama... but how about the lil urbandead.com thing might give it away ;) --THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 00:49, 8 September 2007 (BST)

Well, aside from the fact that the wiki is a subpage of urbandead.com, the about page, does state that "Urban Dead is an HTML/text-based MMORPG created by Kevan Davis. The game went live in July 2005. Set in a quarantined region of the fictional city of Malton, it deals with the immediate aftermath of a zombie outbreak. New players can start as a human or zombie, each with different abilities and limitations. In over a year, Urban Dead has garnered over 800,000 registered players. Statistics for the wiki are available as well." This shows that the wiki is a part of the service that Kevan provides. I'll have to make a page where I explain out the myths of copyright law, the facts of copyright law, and how it pertains to us. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 20:53, 8 September 2007 (BST)

Actually Akule, Kevan has before said that the wiki is one a completely separate server.--Karek^maps?! 22:25, 10 September 2007 (BST)

Go ahead and link me. Then, also look at the page. The wiki is a subpage of the urban dead site, meaning that it is grouped together with the Urban Dead game. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 01:57, 12 September 2007 (BST)

Do you think UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Copyrights Update 1 is enough to answer any questions people have about commercial use? - Vantar 05:56, 9 September 2007 (BST)

It will help, but people won't follow it even then. They will continue to ignore what that policy says and what Kevan has to say about it. Look up at Karek. He could give a flying crap of what is on that page or what Kevan wants. Many users are like that. I could flesh out the Copyright page to explain how copyright law works with the wiki and in the UK, but I doubt people will read it. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 01:57, 12 September 2007 (BST)

Regarding Grim_s

It's basically up to Kevan how the wiki is run and whether steps are taken to shape the culture towards something more adult. Personally, I like to see civility wherever I go, but this is a wiki attached to a game with huge variation in ages - I'll push for more civility, but not too hard (on Wikipedia I pushed considerably harder because it was actually trying to get things done). As Grim_s is an admin already (or whatever they're called on this MediaWiki), and given how relatively new I am on this particular Wiki, I don't want to rock the boat too much, even as I am bothered by how he conducts himself. I might chime in to Kevan in that discussion at some point, I'm not sure. Take care, and thanks for the pointer. --Pgunn 01:39, 9 September 2007 (BST)

Well, I am encouraged with Kevan's response, and I will work toward making the wiki a better place. It's nice to know that he shares my opinion in this matter. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 02:39, 11 September 2007 (BST)

The link

Thanks for the link you sent. Some poeple on this site need to let their balls drop. --Scout 2107 03:29, 10 September 2007 (BST)

It's more that some people need to know that they are role-models for good wiki-behavior. It helps curb bad behavior better than having a sysop who is behaving like an ass. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 02:38, 11 September 2007 (BST)

Or a user who constantly harasses people he dislikes and attempts to use the system as a vehicle for their hatreds? I wonder who would ever do that.--Karek^maps?! 02:43, 11 September 2007 (BST)

Following policy is hardly harassment. Amusingly enough, if I do a simple stroll through your contributions, I can find very blatant harassment against people. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 01:59, 12 September 2007 (BST)

Policy Reference

Thanks for the note. I did indeed shift my vote based on recent sysop "input". Not a perfect policy, but better than the status quo. Cheers. --Dylan Mak Tyme 05:01, 13 September 2007 (BST)

A/A

A case has been started against you. Please check. --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 18:42, 13 September 2007 (BST)

I noticed. The latest in a long series of harassment against me. It's not really a big surprise. I guess when Kevan shot them down and then agreed with my assessment of Grim, it pissed them off. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 23:27, 13 September 2007 (BST)

RE:International Copyright

I've only had time to give it a brief skimming (real life = extremely busy) but what I've seen looks like a nice summary of the copyright laws in general. After Copyrights Update 1 moves to voting I'm going to thrash out a basic "Copyrights and their uses on the Wiki" FAQ to try and make a more user friendly presentation of all the various copyright pages that keep getting brought up in the Copyright debates. - Vantar 03:26, 21 September 2007 (BST)

The extremely rough draft of the aforementioned FAQ is here User:Vantar/Sandbox can you think of any more questions it should have/points it should make - Vantar 04:31, 25 September 2007 (BST)

At this point Im not even asking for the details of the arbitration....I just want to hear each persons perspective of WHY it made it to arbitration, And THEIR view of the situation...no you don't have to go first the names are in alphabetical order... I'll get to the where and whyfores of the arbitration later... Conndraka^{mod TDHPD CFT} 07:11, 23 September 2007 (BST)

After reading everything I believe rebuttals will be an exercise in futility, drawing out the process longer than it needs to.

Yeah, I know. I had a lot to say, and I am taking it seriously. I'm just wondering if Grim is going to see the similarities over his recent rash of dickering over a rule for the suggestions page, and my very similar argument about the rules of arbitration, as he considered it irrelevant. But hey, I'm just a mindless wikilawyer right? It's not like Grim escalated it in order to prove his point. :D --Akule ^{School's in session.} 01:17, 12 October 2007 (BST)

Mindless my ass! It'd be much easier to ignore copyrights if you were mindless! :).-- dǝǝɥs oʇ ɯɐds: sʎɐʍ1ɐ! 02:22, 13 October 2007 (BST)

Ah, but it can't be that easy. Now, if we allowed for off-site linking of images, we could avoid the issue altogether. Kevan wouldn't be at risk as the copyrighted images would not be hosted on his site, and we could keep them confined to the user pages. The wiki could then just host unique urban dead-specific images (ex. The Great Mall Project) on the main pages. People could then "have their cake and eat it too", as they could keep their copyrighted images and still keep to the spirit of the copyright policy (i.e. prevent possible lawsuits). --Akule ^{School's in session.} 01:41, 16 October 2007 (BST)

Ah, worth the wait. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 00:22, 18 October 2007 (BST)

Yes, they were supposed to go first, yet Grim took waaaayy too long. After three weeks of waiting, I didn't think he would respond anytime soon. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 00:12, 19 October 2007 (BST)

Not to but in but I completely agree and believe you to be unbiased in this policy suggestion, Akule. Sockem 04:16, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. There is a lot of call for a policy like this, so I figured I'd see if I could make one that would be easier to implement and use. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 21:37, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Help me

I don't know you and you don't know me, but your name was first on the arbitration list and i need help. A month ago i made a suggestion called Firearm Flavor Text. It did pretty well, but when the two weeks had gone by, it was gone. I checked peer reviewed, rejected, and undecided, but i couldn't find it. Do you know where it went? --Officer 123satsitx 16:57, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm not Akule, but the best thing you can do when you can't find something that you did is to check your contributions. You can find this link in the upper right hand corner. I went through and looked at your contributions and noticed it had been moved to Peer Review, most notibly here. I hope that helps (cross posting to your talk page)--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 17:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Conndraka's ruling

Yeah, he has ruled upon your case. There's of course this thing that you cannot post on some administrational pages for three months, and I wanted to talk with you about that. If there's something on wich you need immediate assistance feel free to drop me a message on my talk page and I'll be helping you if I'm online, like if somebody tries to speedydelete your stuff. Just don't try to make me post copyrighted stuff for deletion, disserting on dramatic issues on your behalf or something like that, because that will bring drama into this sort of cooperation. I just want to express my solidarity to you, that's all. --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 14:51, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I am with matt on this one... your approach to deletions annoys the hell out of me and in general i agree with the ruling, however it really should have had an opt out for such things as your stuff being put up for deletion! If it happens I will happily vote keep regardless of merit until such time as you are allowed to defend it yourself. Your stance in the Arbies case did you a lot of credit and while i know we will never agree on copyright I do think the whole thing was a sham and am very glad it blew up in their faces! --Honestmistake 17:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

That's vandalism.--Karek^maps?! 04:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Since when? People can vote however the hell they want to vote. Otherwise "because Akule needs to get laid" would be vandlism as well.--THE Godfather of Яesensitized, Anime Sucks^{Yalk | W! U! WMM| CC CPFOAS LOE ZHU | Яezzens} 10:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

It's vandalism because it's voting for it simply to screw with A/D, same reason why voting keep on a suggestion for the sake of stopping spam is vandalism. --Karek^maps?! 10:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

It wouldn't be voting keep to screw with A/D, it would be voting keep because he thought it unfair to delete a page when the owner couldn't defend them self on the page due to an A/A ruling -- boxy • talk • 10:31 29 November 2007 (BST)

It's no better then putting pages up for speedy deletion because you don't like the author.--Karek^maps?! 11:00, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

No, it would be voting to avoid unfairly penalizing Akule. If something of his gets put up for deletion and he has no vote I am stating that I would be willing to act as his proxy vote! Call it vandalism if you like but I am more than willing to argue that something should be kept because the creator wants it kept and i think it unfair to deny him his chance to argue for himself! Vandalism would apply only if I was voting merely to be an asshat.--Honestmistake 12:29, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Not so much of a "proxy" vote, but out of our own free will guys like us would always vote keep on an unfair request such as the one example we're mentioning (someone posting some guy who can't defend himself stuff on A/SD). We're merely making it explicit on this header, because we know that Akule is the one person that could need this kind of help in the not so distant future. Finally, extracted textually from Conndraka's ruling: You might be right, but let somebody else handle it for a while. --Matthew Fahrenheit ^YRC☺T☺+1 14:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

There's a difference there, I'm talking about Honestmistake's comment that anything involving Akule, regardless of why it is there, will get a keep. Now if something is there simply because the person who added it wanted to exploit Conndrakka's absurd ruling then that's a different story.--Karek^maps?! 21:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I would be voting keep because I feel it would be wrong to delete someones pages/contributions without their being able to comment. Thats a firmly held opinion and thus more than enough to count as a valid vote... just because i have made it clear that i will do this does not make me a troll or a vandal or anything else... It means i am offering support to someone IF they need to call on it! --Honestmistake 21:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. I don't think that you will have to worry about me putting up any images for deletion for a while, ruling or no. Hagnat did reach out before the arbitration started and proposed an interesting idea on how to work out the copyrighted images for the wiki. I'm going to continue his work with Category:Copyrighted Images and set-up the Copyright Project to work with Boxy's Image Categorization project. I figure that by going through and first giving credit to the author of the images, it would be not only a good first step toward gaining permission to use the images and keeping them in some semblance of order, but a step that wouldn't cause further strife amongst the other wiki users. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 19:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

About the giving credit, is there more to it the just filling out Template:Copyright and slapping it on the image? If thats all there is to it then I can crank through a few hundred of these. - Vantar 21:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

That's the start. By filling out Template:Copyright, we are at least citing who owns the images. They will still be used without permission, but at least we would have them cited. I'd like to also add something to the template so we can instruct the owners of the images (should they not want their images used) on how to go about having their images removed. That way they will have the option, rather than harassing Kevan. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 19:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad you're exploring more peaceful options, Akule. --Cyberbob ^{DORIS CGR U!} 02:02, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

It's better than nothing. This way, if an artist stumbles across the site, they will be less likely to want to pull the images.

Image Categories

If you're going to start into them, please put more than one wherever it's appropriate, not just the most obvious one. For example, Image:Weapons.JPG should have Category:Weapons on it also, at least -- boxy • talk • 06:35 1 December 2007 (BST)

I'm going to go back and add those. I was first going through the template pages and adding the Category:Template_Images to those images there. Then I was going to choose another image category and go there. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 06:38, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Well that just fucks up our ability to go through the uncategoriesed list and find which images need tags. As soon as you put the template category on them, we'll not be able to find them again -- boxy • talk • 06:40 1 December 2007 (BST)

Alright. I'll go back and completely finish all of them. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 06:41, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

All my templates are be categorized? Damn you, Damn you to heeeeeeeeeeeeeellllll!--Karek^maps?! 07:02, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Soon to be categorized, even more. (cue evil laughter) --Akule ^{School's in session.} 07:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Image Categorisation

I think we're ready to start in on categorising the wiki's images, please read the instructions on that page, and then if there are any further questions, ask on the talk page (or my own page). We've got a big job ahead :) -- boxy • talk • 01:23 2 December 2007 (BST)

Sure. I'll start reading and looking over the images. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 23:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

I'd like you to participate in this discussion and would request that you try to keep arguing to a minimum.--Karek^maps?! 17:17, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I'll look it over. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 23:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Man. I should have checked this while I was on holiday. I would have been glad to have participated in that. Let me know the next time you do something like that (like Valentines Day) and I can see what I can do to round up some of the guys. --Akule ^{School's in session.} 15:28, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
