From Spanking Art

[edit] Thanks

Cc 17:28, 23 June 2009 Just a quick note: Thanks for updating my biography of sorts so professionally, Robbie. ;) It's fun to have something official such as a biography such as this, used as a "internet presence" among the spanking community. I appreciate putting the time and work into it! Thank you! :D

[edit] CC-BY-SA

Hi RobM, just to make sure: you got permission from Nami at Spanking-movie.jp to license two of her images under CC-BY-SA? On her site is stated: "I never agree to following action ; transferring the contents of this site, using them in any style and places and make changes on them." Likewise, the copyrighted Cutie Spankee images you licensed under CC-BY. --Spankart 10:17, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, it seems I misunderstood the lisence then, I thought that CC-BY didn't require permission, it only needed accreditation. Does that mean either Template:PD-US is better, or the images should simply be removed? Colourful as they are, I knew they'd be problematic - but okay - based on my pigeons understanding of Legalese and implied... stuff. Remove 'em if you think thats better, I'm fairly poor at this Wiki stuff so most of everything I've done so far appears to be in need to work -__-.

RobM 18:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh yes, that's a misunderstanding then. Any copyrighted work can only be put under any license (GFDL, CC-whatever, ...) by the copyright owner (or with explicit permission from the copyright owner). Remember that a free license means that the copyright owner is voluntarily giving up some of his rights - e.g. the CC-BY license is very liberal, it allows any use of the work (including alterations and commercial use) as long as the user gives credit to the original author or artist. So if we don't have permission from the copyright owners we can't use the images here and I'm afraid I have to delete them. I'm assuming this applies to all Spanking-movie.jp and Cutie Spankee images you uploaded. What about Image:Animespankingarchivebanner.jpg - the banner image is probably created by JadeWind, did he give permission to place it under the GFDL?

Yeah, that ones fine, besides, he ripped the picture of Lawrence in the first place ^^;;;. I'm off to start linking the ASA site to what I can in the SpWiki, I've got one or two more pages to create and edit. I also got Cross's permission to use her pictures for Devotion and Geomancer on the relevent page. Is there a liscence for "Permission given to be used on the Wiki, but no-where else?", otherwise I think they're public domain, but I'd rather she had a little more protection if possible. RobM 17:03, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

No, unfortunatly a license that allows use only here in this wiki is not permissible because the idea of having a wiki under a copyleft license is that others can reuse the contents, including images, in any way they want as long as they retain the license; this explicitly allows commercial use and alterations - two things many artists may not feel comfortable with. So there are only two options: if an artist is willing to put their work under one of the permissible licenses mentioned on image use policy, we can use the image, otherwise we can't. As an artist I'd rather license my artwork under a copyleft license (the GFDL or CC-BY-SA or both) than releasing it to the public domain, which means that the copyright holder has irrevocably released all rights to it. --Spankart 08:31, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Location of discussion page

• RobM talk page is stored here!

Sorry, but it is not common to use the article namespace for user discussions. For one, the article's discussion page is for discussing the article, not for talking with the user of the same name. Secondly, you will not get the notification box when someone writes on Talk:RobM - whereas you will have seen this box now that I wrote here. It would be really better to use this page as your user talk page. --Spankart 10:59, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I don't know how to move it, I've tried but it won't copy over. I'm very poor at WikiCodes. If there's no other way and you really want, I'll just copy/paste the text over and update the links. If you know an easier way, or know how to get the 'move' to work, please do it. I wanna set an auto redirect from RobM to User:RobM as well, every time I do it I just get a page can't be displayed error. RobM 18:16, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

I copied the contents over (see above) - that should be all. We shouldn't redirect from RobM to User:RobM though. The first is our article on you and the second is your personal user page. If you currently have no need for a user page, it would be possible to redirect from User:RobM to the article RobM - you could achieve that by entering #redirect[[RobM]] on User:RobM - however such a thing is likely to confuse people who think they are on your user page while they actually ended up on the article... --Spankart 08:47, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi RobM, as I said above: We shouldn't redirect from RobM to User:RobM. If you really want, you can redirect from User:RobM to the article RobM (although a non-redirecting link would be better to avoid confusion), but never the other way round because that is never done in wikis as it would make confusion perfect. Can I change it to the proper way? Spankart 22:06, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Sure, if you must - although I still don't see why not. You can put a non redirecting link on my user if you think it appropriate - but I have to be honest in not seeing why. Is it just convention? RobM 21:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's a convention, and it's a good convention because it helps to avoid confusion as your user page is fundamentally different from our article about you. The user page and the user talk page belong together, they are both in the user namespace, whereas the article and the article talk page also belong together, they are both in the article namespace. Redirects should only be used within the article namespace, e.g. from Robm to RobM, so wrong links will get to the expected page. I made the change, it should be fine now. Thanks, Spankart 21:41, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jennings

Hi Rob, I started a stub article at Jennings - would you like to add more on it? Spankart 22:43, 7 April 2008 (BST)

[edit] Multiple links

a page should only me linked to on the first usage of the word on the page. the only time the link should be repeated is if the first ink is buried within text in a non obvious way and then a secon link in See also section if it is important related link. --Roguebfl ^(talk) 23:22, 23 June 2009 (BST)

Erm? Yes? And? So what. I've probably made that mistake roughly once or twice. I have been editing this Wiki for several years and other Wiki's for about the same. Pretty please don't patronise me like I'm a nine-year old, I *do* know what I'm doing even if I do make basic mistakes infrequently.

RobM 23:26, 23 June 2009 (BST)

I'm not patronize you, but it the second time I found this mistake two so I was giving a reminder. Just like the reminder you gave when a sliped up on an image a while back. Slip ups happened, reminders help. --Roguebfl ^(talk) 23:37, 23 June 2009 (BST)

[edit] Kemal

Some provocative Junk

I have no interets in dialogue with you, whatsoever. My personal life is of no concern of yours and no I have no obligation to justify myself or explain myself to you or anyone for any reason. Stop whining at me with your personal stuff, we have a word for you in western culture - Emo. Highly emotional with a tendancy to complain to people who have no interest about whatever bothers you. And, may God forbid it, when they show no interest in your personal obsession you scream at that that you're being persecuted. I have no interest in you, bending this wiki to suit your bias or fueling your desire for attention. Here is a reality check: If you don't go around on the internet announcing who and what you are, maybe it wouldn't be picked up on. If you'd simply come to this site and stated you believed that we must censor our academic material based on your personal bias no-one would have cared. Instead you started indicating where you can from and why you held these views - DELIBERATELY associating your culture with topics you KNEW we'd find both distasteful and disresecptful.

At this point, I am 30% convinved you are a white-racist engaged on yet another False_flag#Ideological| Operation. Not the first I've personally seen on the internet. I do believe your time on this site will be shorter than you know. RobM 00:53, 11 July 2009 (BST)

What's more—if I may add—the response you received would have been the same if you where someone from our culture, and unfortunately we do have people that share the same unfounded views. The only thing that was tailored to your culture was Rob's parting phrase. And I'm sure Rob would have used the cultural equivalents if you had come from any other culture. --Roguebfl ^(talk) 01:26, 11 July 2009 (BST)

[edit] Interviews?

So, is it my imagination or did you say you were gonna give 'er a go on taking over the interviews? I hope so, it's one of my favorite parts of the site. If there's something I can do to assist, let me know and I'll try to help out. And, dude, you know who your first interview oughta' be with? Spankart! :) Thanks Candice Critic 23:57, 29 August 2009 (BST)

Could do, could do. Although it might take more than a year with his current online schedule. At the moment I am in the middle of three interviews and they seem to be going well... I don't know how deep or probing they are, of course. I'm glad to hear you're looking forward to them. RobM 00:51, 30 August 2009 (BST)

Awesome possum. I hope I didn't bug you too much with my excitement or suggestion. Which, I suppose, suggests that I do hope that I bugged you a little, or just enough. Anyway... Any chance at hints as to who you're questioning? Is one of them an author? Much as I love the visual arts, literature is my passion. Anyway, thanks and happy interviewing. Candice Critic 05:47, 31 August 2009 (BST)

No authors as of this moment. I only know of one good one, really and I don't think he'd make a great candidate - he's far too private - but I'm always open to the idea. I'm currently interviewing three artists. Cc, Aprion and Sakura. All from AotK. I like the idea of interviewing spankart and after the current round I'll ask him. Some others I'd be interested in interviewing would be Kamitora and Handprince. RobM 15:15, 31 August 2009 (BST)

Nice choices. I'm particularly a fan of Cc. Too bad on the no authors bit, but that's just the way it goes I guess. I can't complain, I did, after all, manage to interview Haley (one of my favorites.) ;) Candice Critic 17:00, 31 August 2009 (BST)
