Fair use rationale for Image:Phil Goss.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Phil Goss.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Deor (talk) 05:08, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Dougweller (talk) 07:00, 23 January 2013 (UTC)Warnings don't seem to have worked with this editor and given the pattern of editing only sporadically a short block would probably have been ineffective. So far as I'm concerned, all the editor has to do is to agree to stay away from WP:ERA issues to be unblocked. As simple as that. I'm sure there are more constructive things that this editor can do if they wish to edit here. Dougweller (talk) 07:02, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
This block is inappropriate for the following reasons:
REQUEST FOR UNBLOCK
WIKIPEDIA POLICY AT ISSUE
Whether edits changing CE/BCE are appropriate?
IMPLICATED WIKIPEDIA POLICY:
"Years are denoted by AD and BC or, equivalently, CE and BCE. Use only one system within an article, and do not change from one system to the other without good reason. The abbreviations are written without periods, and with a non-breaking space, as in 5 BC. Omit AD or CE unless this would cause ambiguity." FN1
"If discussion cannot determine which style to use in an article, defer to the style used by the first major contributor." FN2
FACTS
I am a casual user of Wikipedia and I use only one account: User:Jpetersen46321. Information contained in this username frankly can readily identify who I am and where I am located. I use only this account, although I have made edits without logging in for the sole reason of convenience and no other purpose.
This block emanates from alleged incidents reported by User:Steven J. Anderson regarded edits by me involving the dating protocol AD/BC vs. CE/BCE. (see WP:ANI by Anderson above) Mr. Anderson has a documented history of single issue purposefulness in advocating the use of CE/BCE over AD/BC. FN3 FN4 In fact, Mr. Anderson's conduct has been criticized for offensive or insulting commentary. FN5 Anderson has intimated, without facts to support his assertions, that I have acted in bad faith or engaged in "sock puppetry." FN6
My recent edits involved changes to AD/BC style in articles, by way of example and not limitation, "Tower of Jericho" or "Great Pyramid of Giza." Being mindful of Wikipedia policy (see above) and issues with User:Steven J. Anderson, I will review the edit history of sites to confirm whether a new consensus is emerging or whether AD/BC was the original usage. For example, the a recent edit to "Tower of Jericho" suggested a new consensus emerging for AD/BC. FN7 Consequently, I made a similar edit in reliance on the apparent new consensus. Alternatively, the first major edit to "Great Pyramid of Giza" used the AD/BC protocol and I consequently made my edit back to AD/BC in conformity with Wiki policy. FN8
At no time have I engaged in an edit war with Mr. Anderson (or anyone) else regarding changes that I make. I review the articles, make any changes I deem appropriate and supportable by Wikipolicy and I move on.
ARGUMENT
This Block is improper and should be removed. The efforts of Mr. Anderson to enforce his single issue bias corrupts the ability of editors to make good faith changes to articles. For example, editors acting in good faith may disagree about style issues, but such disagreement is part of the natural evolution of Wikipedia and not indicative of bad faith or "sock puppetry." Consequently, changes of this nature should be encouraged or the page should otherwise be locked.
Further, Mr. Anderson (and others) make a spurious argument that changes from AD/BC usage to CE/BCE usage should be preserved due to "long usage." This position ignores the fact that single issue editors have vigorously squelched other editors with different viewpoints. Consequently, Wikipedia policy has evolved supporting reversion to the original Era used by the first major contributor.
My edits are supported by Wikipolicy and made in good faith. For all the above reasons, this Block is inappropriate and I request that it be removed.
Respectfully submitted, User:Jpetersen46321

Decline reason:
(a) WP:NOTTHEM. (b) You'll be unblocked if you'll avoid WP:ERA issues completely; you've been asked to stop messing with dates for five years now; enough is enough. --jpgordon::==( o ) 20:39, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
- And as this editor also edits logged out for convenience, even with agreement to avoid WP:ERA issues I'd be concerned that he'd continue such edits logged out. Dougweller (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

Request reason:
I ask for reconsideration of the above denial. I have cited Wikipolicy supporting my actions (see above) Neither the blocking administrator or the reviewing administrator have cited Wikipolicy to show that my actions were incorrect. I further request to escalate this matter to the next level of review. Jpetersen46321 (talk) 22:52, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Decline reason:
I haven't looked at your entire editing history, but I went back a way, and it looks like the vast majority of your edits are simply changing BCE/CE to BC/AD in various articles. If you've been repeatedly asked to stop doing that, and decided not to, then a block is the only way to get you to stop, and if that's most of what you're doing, I'm not clear on how Wikipedia would be a better encyclopedia if I unblocked you.
