<hr />
<div>==Images?==<br />
I just tried uploading in image to [[Overdrive (Transformers)]] and it worked. Before I do any more, what sort of licensing is required? Same As Wikipedia? I know you guy don't have the same notability standards, what about non-free image licensing? Same? Stronger or looser requirements? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 17:38, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:The site is under public domain licensing (which means stuff posted has no copyright.) However, if you want to publish images from Wikipedia (i.e. under the CCA Share-alike license) that's fine too, as long as you cite the original source of the image and mention that it's under CCA licensing. Govind is adding a new template to help with this. <nowiki>{{image-cca|http://originalsource}}</nowiki> [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:03, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::They are images I uploaded to Wikipedia, but when the articles got deleted, so did the images. If they are no longer on Wikipedia, can they still be shared? I'm not sure how to procede. It might be that the images don't belong on Wikialpha unless they are free.Is licensing like Wikipedia, where they consider all toy images non-free because they are considered "art"? How about a TV series screen capture? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:06, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::::If it's license-free then you can publish it. If it's public domain then you can publish it. If Wikipedia deleted it, then you can publish it. If it's still on Wikipedia then you need to use <nowiki>{{image-cca|http://originalsource}}</nowiki> . If you're not sure where it's from then you can put it up anyway as long as you're reasonably sure it won't cause a copyright issue. TV and movie screenshots are fair-use, since we are a news and encyclopedic publication, and they are being published for educational and/or parody purposes. Any other questions, feel free to ask. Cheers [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:13, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::::I'm worried I'd not do it right. If someone loads a screen shot to an article and licenses it, I'll use that as an example. I got in trouble on Wikipedia once for adding images and then using the wrong licensing, and I don't want to be stuck with 20+ images that are licensed wrong. If I wanted to add a screen shot to an existing article, and it's a screen shot I took, what license would I use? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:25, 9 July 2011 (MSD) <br />
::::::Ok, I hear you. We'll make a <nowiki>{{image-fairuse|source|explaination}}</nowiki> template and if later there are problems we'll help you fix them :) [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:40, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::::::So does the image licensing for [[Black Shadow (Transformers)]] look right? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:48, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::::::::Yeah looks fine. Govind is creating the template now. Cheers [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:52, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
==Deleted:Title?==<br />
Do deleted pages imported from Wikipedia have to keep the word "deleted" in their name? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 17:53, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:No, please feel free to move them into article space, if you can bring them up to WikiAlpha standards. [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:03, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
==You have your first vandal==<br />
[[user:Wikilulz]] is vandalizing articles. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:44, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Spambots being used on English Wikipedia==<br />
As the administrator of this website, can you please comment at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Spam_from_Wikialpha English Wikipedia's Administrator's Noticeboard/Incidents], through [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Wootfarm&action=edit&redlink=1 your Wikipedia account], regarding the use of spambots to send automated emmails to Wikipedia editors? [[User:Singularity42|Singularity42]] ([[User talk:Singularity42|talk]]) 21:13, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:We like to inform people when their articles are being deleted on Wikipedia, and encourage them to retain and improve their article here on WikiAlpha. If you do not wish to receive emails from other Wikipedia users then please disable the User Email feature on that site. As to Wikipedia's policy on blocking and removing members for nonsense reasons, we are familiar with it, and do not care. Thank you. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 21:28, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::If I may chime in, the informative email from WikiAlpha allowed me to know the page I wrote was being copied to their site, and I found that information helpful. I don't think it's "spam" to inform someone via their public email link that you are doing something with a page they wrote. That's just using thier email link for the purpose it's intended. Don't be confrontational though Richard. If there are specific rules on Wikipedia, try to work within them. I think it's better to work WITH them than against them. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 21:38, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::Agreed. We are trying to comply, but their interpretation of their own rules is really sour, and we have no way to talk to anyone who will listen to us. Apparently anything generated by a robot is automatically spam, and that's all there is to it. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 21:45, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Troll alert==<br />
Seems to be a troll user at anon 173.224.217.162 [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 02:35, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
== False information? ==<br />
<br />
How is it false information? The information is demonstratably provable, as seen on the page itself. when blocked, another account was created to bypass that block, which is against wikipedia policies. you cannot block me, i have dozens of proxies at my disposal, so either stop being a troll and reflect the truth, or spend hours dealing with me and my proxies tearing up your "open" wiki.<br />
<br />
:Don't you think it's a little ironic that you're spamming us? We never vandalized Wikipedia. You clearly have a different definition to spam than we do. That's fine. Now go away. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 02:43, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::Funny, the same IP is blocked at Wikipedia too. No one wants him there either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.224.217.162 [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 02:45, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::It's just a proxy. If it gets out of hand I'll put up some code or find an addon to detect and automatically block them. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 02:47, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::::All open proxies are blocked at Wikipedia. Don't bother cross checking my edits there to try to identify me, it won't happen, i dont edit there. and im not going to "go away". You have until the end of the day to change the "appalling manner" language to a more neutral one, or I give your admins lots to do, by either locking down your entire wiki, or spending hours upon hours blocked automated edits by dozens of proxies all over the world. Oh, and dont bother trying to get the Wikipedia to stop me, i got nothing to do with them, and they dont know who i am.<br />
:::::Amazing. Why did we never think of blocking all open proxies? It's not like we've never done this stuff before guy. You keep them coming and we'll keep blocking them. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 02:54, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::::We're still waiting for the result of ignoring this 'final warning' of yours. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 03:51, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
[http://en.wikialpha.org/wiki?title=User_talk:Richard&diff=next&oldid=1058]. Need any assistance, let me know, okay? It's not like ''we'' have never done this before. The Wikipedia community isn't responsible for what a loose cannon does, unless, of course, it is. Wikipedia is far more vulnerable than you, in reality. You can set non-open policies, you can use bot reversion, you can easily, being small and close-controlled, outmaneuver these idiots with too much time on their hands and a habit of coercion and threat. Be careful you don't imitate them, though. Choose, and I recommend you choose openly and clearly. And listen, as you did to complaints about the emails. There is more than one way to bell a cat. Congratulations and good luck. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 18:11, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

== Attribution essay ==<br />
<br />
I started an essay [[WikiAlpha:Attribution]] to discuss some of the attribution issues currently being raised. I'd like to get more eyes on it since I might always be wrong... [[User:Wnt|Wnt]] ([[User talk:Wnt|talk]]) 18:55, 19 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Can I have permission to edit the main page==<br />
There isn't an awful lot on the main page at the moment. If I was given whatever permission I need to do it, I could work on it. Thanks [[User:Alicianpig|Alicianpig]] ([[User talk:Alicianpig|talk]]) 19:48, 4 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
:I'm curious what you would do with it. Can you make a page in your userspace of what you would add? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 20:49, 4 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
::It's up to Govind, he's in charge of mainpage layout, protected templates etc. But I expect he will be welcoming if you have a good plan. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 17:14, 6 August 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Does Wikialpha host jokes?==<br />
I wasn't sure if [[Pearitis|this]] was a legitimate subject, as it's a joke/hoax, seemingly made up by the author. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 17:23, 6 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
:Yeah it's allowed, as long as the article is clearly marked as a joke/fiction. We may need a template and infobox etc at some point. Thanks, [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 17:43, 6 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
::Added {{tl|Joke article}}; please mark all future humorous articles with that. Please note the distinction between intentional jokes and blatant hoaxes; the latter is [[WA:CSD|criteria for speedy deletion]]. [[User:Govind|Govind]] ([[User talk:Govind|talk]]) 08:50, 7 August 2011 (MSD)<br />

:Tarc has long been a loud-mouth over on Wikipedia. I don't think anyone cares much what he says. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 02:02, 7 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
No, we hope to find more users like Matt. And I think Tarc is an abusive and destructive person to have around. Best of luck to Wikipedians in dealing with him. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 03:03, 7 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
==Drumming up some editors==<br />
I had an idea for getting the Wikialpha word out. I listen to several podcasts that do not have Wikipedia articles, because they are not "notable" enough. I started a bare-bones article on Wikialpha ([[Dragon Page Cover To Cover]]), then posted on the message board an invite for the listeners of the show to come here fill in the details. http://www.farpointforums.com/showthread.php?tid=4561&pid=59031#pid59031 That might get some editors. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 03:36, 7 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
:Good idea. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 07:10, 7 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
::Today I scanned though the Wikipedia denied undeletion requests for people who were denied in recreating their articles for being non notable, and I mentioned privately to authors that their article would be welcome on Wikialpha.

==Question, do we need some proof term exists at all?==<br />
Recently user Alicianpig started making article about groups and terms that have no references at all, and I can find no proof they even exist. I know we are not Wikipedia in requiring notability, but do terms need some kind of proof? Anyways, since the pages have no references or Categories, maybe we can at least suggest they get some?[[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 17:47, 26 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
:Unsourced material may be freely challenged and if it is a blatant hoax then tag it for speedy deletion. I'd recommend Googling around to see if the term exists first, and if not, delete it. [[User:Govind|Govind]] ([[User talk:Govind|talk]]) 21:51, 26 August 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Classic skin error==<br />
The Classic skin seems to have an error. I can't view any pages, and I can't turn it off, because I can't view the pages that changes the skins! I tried creating a new account to edit a page to tell you, but it won't send me a confirmation. I've been told by several people recently that they are not getting confirmation letters from Wikialpha. Maybe that's why you can't get any new users? Anyways, can you fix the skin, or change it for me? Thanks [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 13:36, 12 April 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Additional - I managed to turn off my Classic skin setting by putting a skin override command in the URL of the preference page. Still, you have 2 problems. Anyone using the Classic Skin gets locked out of viewing pages, and no one seems to be getting confirmation emails. I tried to just email you at richard@wikialpha,org, and that email doesn't work. Is there a support email for wikialpha? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 13:39, 12 April 2013 (UTC)<br />

==Wikialpha is getting famous in the toy world==<br />
Little something neat. I've written so many toy articles on Wikialpha that it's starting to become known for them. I had a Chinese toy company contact me with an email attaching the first pictures of their new toy coming out called "Rhinohorn Aces Version" with them wanting me to write an article about it on Wikialpha! So I wrote the article, and linked it to collector sites.. and it's making the news section. http://www.fullmetalhero.com/content/keith-s-fantasy-club-rhinohorn-aces-version-6277/ [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 16:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)<br />

==Robot invasion==<br />
The last 2-3, this site has been invaded by spam inserting robots. Has the security against robots joining been removed since the wiki was updated? They are literally adding nonsense articles with spam limbs at a rate of more than one a minute!

::Fuming at Govind at the moment. I forwarded him your email as I was taking a few days rest from work and he didn't fix this. I've fixed it now.

:::Sorry, I tried, but all I could do is watch. They were making new pages faster than I could deleted and block them individually.

::::Not your fault at all. Recaptcha plugin was replaced with ConfirmEdit and it was not clear that the new plugin needed additional configuration when I did the changeover. There were a lot of edits by spam bots and I mean a lot. They made 12,000 user accounts. I'm trying to clean it up now. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 17:14, 30 January 2016 (UTC)<br />
:::::Update on this. I'm merging all the spam users into a single user via a script. However the process is CPU intensive so it will take a while. (Approximately 12 hours by my calculation.) Once they are all a single user I can nuke an perm delete their edits quite easily. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 18:14, 30 January 2016 (UTC)<br />

== Request to be admin/patroller/ rollback/page reviewer or any ==<br />
<br />
Greetings, <br />
Hope you are safe and indoors.<br />
<br />
I'm a contributor in WikiAlpha since 2017 and I have been created and edited many articles with sources. Previously, I worked in Wikipedia for over 2 years as a contributor. I know most of process and rules of Wiki.<br />
<br />
I was thinking if it's possible to get another role on WikiAlpha. As for now, I'm only contributor and can't work on the platform properly. I believe my contribution will improve more if I have any other roles rather then only contributor.<br />

# Uploading images isn't working, or, at least, it is not working, for me...<br />
# [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] and I are the only people who have edited this weekend. This is very unual. Usually I would expect to see half a dozen or a dozen new user creations, and at least one hundred edits by half a dozen people.<br />

:::They are images I uploaded to Wikipedia, but when the articles got deleted, so did the images. If they are no longer on Wikipedia, can they still be shared? I'm not sure how to procede. It might be that the images don't belong on Wikialpha unless they are free.Is licensing like Wikipedia, where they consider all toy images non-free because they are considered "art"? How about a TV series screen capture? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:06, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::::If it's license-free then you can publish it. If it's public domain then you can publish it. If Wikipedia deleted it, then you can publish it. If it's still on Wikipedia then you need to use <nowiki>{{image-cca|http://originalsource}}</nowiki> . If you're not sure where it's from then you can put it up anyway as long as you're reasonably sure it won't cause a copyright issue. TV and movie screenshots are fair-use, since we are a news and encyclopedic publication, and they are being published for educational and/or parody purposes. Any other questions, feel free to ask. Cheers [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:13, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::::I'm worried I'd not do it right. If someone loads a screen shot to an article and licenses it, I'll use that as an example. I got in trouble on Wikipedia once for adding images and then using the wrong licensing, and I don't want to be stuck with 20+ images that are licensed wrong. If I wanted to add a screen shot to an existing article, and it's a screen shot I took, what license would I use? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:25, 9 July 2011 (MSD) <br />
::::::Ok, I hear you. We'll make a <nowiki>{{image-fairuse|source|explaination}}</nowiki> template and if later there are problems we'll help you fix them :) [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:40, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

[[User:Singularity42|Singularity42]] ([[User talk:Singularity42|talk]]) 21:13, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:We like to inform people when their articles are being deleted on Wikipedia, and encourage them to retain and improve their article here on WikiAlpha. If you do not wish to receive emails from other Wikipedia users then please disable the User Email feature on that site.

::If I may chime in, the informative email from WikiAlpha allowed me to know the page I wrote was being copied to their site, and I found that information helpful. I don't think it's "spam" to inform someone via their public email link that you are doing something with a page they wrote. That's just using thier email link for the purpose it's intended. Don't be confrontational though Richard. If there are specific rules on Wikipedia, try to work within them. I think it's better to work WITH them than against them. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 21:38, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

== False information? ==<br />
<br />
How is it false information? The information is demonstratably provable, as seen on the page itself. when blocked, another account was created to bypass that block, which is against wikipedia policies. you cannot block me, i have dozens of proxies at my disposal, so either stop being a troll and reflect the truth, or spend hours dealing with me and my proxies tearing up your "open" wiki.<br />
<br />
:Don't you think it's a little ironic that you're spamming us? We never vandalized Wikipedia. You clearly have a different definition to spam than we do. That's fine. Now go away. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 02:43, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

::::All open proxies are blocked at Wikipedia. Don't bother cross checking my edits there to try to identify me, it won't happen, i dont edit there. and im not going to "go away". You have until the end of the day to change the "appalling manner" language to a more neutral one, or I give your admins lots to do, by either locking down your entire wiki, or spending hours upon hours blocked automated edits by dozens of proxies all over the world. Oh, and dont bother trying to get the Wikipedia to stop me, i got nothing to do with them, and they dont know who i am.<br />

[http://en.wikialpha.org/wiki?title=User_talk:Richard&diff=next&oldid=1058]. Need any assistance, let me know, okay? It's not like ''we'' have never done this before. The Wikipedia community isn't responsible for what a loose cannon does, unless, of course, it is. Wikipedia is far more vulnerable than you, in reality. You can set non-open policies, you can use bot reversion, you can easily, being small and close-controlled, outmaneuver these idiots with too much time on their hands and a habit of coercion and threat. Be careful you don't imitate them, though. Choose, and I recommend you choose openly and clearly. And listen, as you did to complaints about the emails. There is more than one way to bell a cat.

==Drumming up some editors==<br />
I had an idea for getting the Wikialpha word out. I listen to several podcasts that do not have Wikipedia articles, because they are not "notable" enough. I started a bare-bones article on Wikialpha ([[Dragon Page Cover To Cover]]), then posted on the message board an invite for the listeners of the show to come here fill in the details. http://www.farpointforums.com/showthread.php?tid=4561&pid=59031#pid59031 That might get some editors.

Recently user Alicianpig started making article about groups and terms that have no references at all, and I can find no proof they even exist.

==Classic skin error==<br />
The Classic skin seems to have an error. I can't view any pages, and I can't turn it off, because I can't view the pages that changes the skins! I tried creating a new account to edit a page to tell you, but it won't send me a confirmation. I've been told by several people recently that they are not getting confirmation letters from Wikialpha. Maybe that's why you can't get any new users?

I'm a contributor in WikiAlpha since 2017 and I have been created and edited many articles with sources. Previously, I worked in Wikipedia for over 2 years as a contributor. I know most of process and rules of Wiki.<br />

<div>==Images?==<br />
I just tried uploading in image to [[Overdrive (Transformers)]] and it worked. Before I do any more, what sort of licensing is required? Same As Wikipedia? I know you guy don't have the same notability standards, what about non-free image licensing? Same? Stronger or looser requirements? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 17:38, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:The site is under public domain licensing (which means stuff posted has no copyright.) However, if you want to publish images from Wikipedia (i.e. under the CCA Share-alike license) that's fine too, as long as you cite the original source of the image and mention that it's under CCA licensing. Govind is adding a new template to help with this. <nowiki>{{image-cca|http://originalsource}}</nowiki> [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:03, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::They are images I uploaded to Wikipedia, but when the articles got deleted, so did the images. If they are no longer on Wikipedia, can they still be shared? I'm not sure how to procede. It might be that the images don't belong on Wikialpha unless they are free.Is licensing like Wikipedia, where they consider all toy images non-free because they are considered "art"? How about a TV series screen capture? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:06, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::::If it's license-free then you can publish it. If it's public domain then you can publish it. If Wikipedia deleted it, then you can publish it. If it's still on Wikipedia then you need to use <nowiki>{{image-cca|http://originalsource}}</nowiki> . If you're not sure where it's from then you can put it up anyway as long as you're reasonably sure it won't cause a copyright issue. TV and movie screenshots are fair-use, since we are a news and encyclopedic publication, and they are being published for educational and/or parody purposes. Any other questions, feel free to ask. Cheers [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:13, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::::I'm worried I'd not do it right. If someone loads a screen shot to an article and licenses it, I'll use that as an example. I got in trouble on Wikipedia once for adding images and then using the wrong licensing, and I don't want to be stuck with 20+ images that are licensed wrong. If I wanted to add a screen shot to an existing article, and it's a screen shot I took, what license would I use? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:25, 9 July 2011 (MSD) <br />
::::::Ok, I hear you. We'll make a <nowiki>{{image-fairuse|source|explaination}}</nowiki> template and if later there are problems we'll help you fix them :) [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:40, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::::::So does the image licensing for [[Black Shadow (Transformers)]] look right? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:48, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::::::::Yeah looks fine. Govind is creating the template now. Cheers [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:52, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Deleted:Title?==<br />
Do deleted pages imported from Wikipedia have to keep the word "deleted" in their name? [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 17:53, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:No, please feel free to move them into article space, if you can bring them up to WikiAlpha standards. [[User:Richard|Richard]] 18:03, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
==You have your first vandal==<br />
[[user:Wikilulz]] is vandalizing articles. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] 18:44, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Spambots being used on English Wikipedia==<br />
As the administrator of this website, can you please comment at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Spam_from_Wikialpha English Wikipedia's Administrator's Noticeboard/Incidents], through [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Wootfarm&action=edit&redlink=1 your Wikipedia account], regarding the use of spambots to send automated emmails to Wikipedia editors? [[User:Singularity42|Singularity42]] ([[User talk:Singularity42|talk]]) 21:13, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:We like to inform people when their articles are being deleted on Wikipedia, and encourage them to retain and improve their article here on WikiAlpha. If you do not wish to receive emails from other Wikipedia users then please disable the User Email feature on that site. As to Wikipedia's policy on blocking and removing members for nonsense reasons, we are familiar with it, and do not care. Thank you. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 21:28, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::If I may chime in, the informative email from WikiAlpha allowed me to know the page I wrote was being copied to their site, and I found that information helpful. I don't think it's "spam" to inform someone via their public email link that you are doing something with a page they wrote. That's just using thier email link for the purpose it's intended. Don't be confrontational though Richard. If there are specific rules on Wikipedia, try to work within them. I think it's better to work WITH them than against them. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 21:38, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::Agreed. We are trying to comply, but their interpretation of their own rules is really sour, and we have no way to talk to anyone who will listen to us. Apparently anything generated by a robot is automatically spam, and that's all there is to it. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 21:45, 9 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Troll alert==<br />
Seems to be a troll user at anon 173.224.217.162 [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 02:35, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
== False information? ==<br />
<br />
How is it false information? The information is demonstratably provable, as seen on the page itself. when blocked, another account was created to bypass that block, which is against wikipedia policies. you cannot block me, i have dozens of proxies at my disposal, so either stop being a troll and reflect the truth, or spend hours dealing with me and my proxies tearing up your "open" wiki.<br />
<br />
:Don't you think it's a little ironic that you're spamming us? We never vandalized Wikipedia. You clearly have a different definition to spam than we do. That's fine. Now go away. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 02:43, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::Funny, the same IP is blocked at Wikipedia too. No one wants him there either. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.224.217.162 [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 02:45, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::It's just a proxy. If it gets out of hand I'll put up some code or find an addon to detect and automatically block them. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 02:47, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
::::All open proxies are blocked at Wikipedia. Don't bother cross checking my edits there to try to identify me, it won't happen, i dont edit there. and im not going to "go away". You have until the end of the day to change the "appalling manner" language to a more neutral one, or I give your admins lots to do, by either locking down your entire wiki, or spending hours upon hours blocked automated edits by dozens of proxies all over the world. Oh, and dont bother trying to get the Wikipedia to stop me, i got nothing to do with them, and they dont know who i am.<br />
:::::Amazing. Why did we never think of blocking all open proxies? It's not like we've never done this stuff before guy. You keep them coming and we'll keep blocking them. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 02:54, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
:::::We're still waiting for the result of ignoring this 'final warning' of yours. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 03:51, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />
<br />
[http://en.wikialpha.org/wiki?title=User_talk:Richard&diff=next&oldid=1058]. Need any assistance, let me know, okay? It's not like ''we'' have never done this before. The Wikipedia community isn't responsible for what a loose cannon does, unless, of course, it is. Wikipedia is far more vulnerable than you, in reality. You can set non-open policies, you can use bot reversion, you can easily, being small and close-controlled, outmaneuver these idiots with too much time on their hands and a habit of coercion and threat. Be careful you don't imitate them, though. Choose, and I recommend you choose openly and clearly. And listen, as you did to complaints about the emails. There is more than one way to bell a cat. Congratulations and good luck. --[[User:Abd|Abd]] ([[User talk:Abd|talk]]) 18:11, 11 July 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Does Wikialpha host jokes?==<br />
I wasn't sure if [[Pearitis|this]] was a legitimate subject, as it's a joke/hoax, seemingly made up by the author. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 17:23, 6 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
:Yeah it's allowed, as long as the article is clearly marked as a joke/fiction. We may need a template and infobox etc at some point. Thanks, [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 17:43, 6 August 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Drumming up some editors==<br />
I had an idea for getting the Wikialpha word out. I listen to several podcasts that do not have Wikipedia articles, because they are not "notable" enough. I started a bare-bones article on Wikialpha ([[Dragon Page Cover To Cover]]), then posted on the message board an invite for the listeners of the show to come here fill in the details. http://www.farpointforums.com/showthread.php?tid=4561&pid=59031#pid59031 That might get some editors.

==Question, do we need some proof term exists at all?==<br />
Recently user Alicianpig started making article about groups and terms that have no references at all, and I can find no proof they even exist. I know we are not Wikipedia in requiring notability, but do terms need some kind of proof? Anyways, since the pages have no references or Categories, maybe we can at least suggest they get some?[[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 17:47, 26 August 2011 (MSD)<br />
:Unsourced material may be freely challenged and if it is a blatant hoax then tag it for speedy deletion. I'd recommend Googling around to see if the term exists first, and if not, delete it. [[User:Govind|Govind]] ([[User talk:Govind|talk]]) 21:51, 26 August 2011 (MSD)<br />

==Classic skin error==<br />
The Classic skin seems to have an error. I can't view any pages, and I can't turn it off, because I can't view the pages that changes the skins! I tried creating a new account to edit a page to tell you, but it won't send me a confirmation. I've been told by several people recently that they are not getting confirmation letters from Wikialpha. Maybe that's why you can't get any new users? Anyways, can you fix the skin, or change it for me? Thanks [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 13:36, 12 April 2013 (UTC)<br />
:Additional - I managed to turn off my Classic skin setting by putting a skin override command in the URL of the preference page. Still, you have 2 problems. Anyone using the Classic Skin gets locked out of viewing pages, and no one seems to be getting confirmation emails. I tried to just email you at richard@wikialpha,org, and that email doesn't work.

==Wikialpha is getting famous in the toy world==<br />
Little something neat. I've written so many toy articles on Wikialpha that it's starting to become known for them. I had a Chinese toy company contact me with an email attaching the first pictures of their new toy coming out called "Rhinohorn Aces Version" with them wanting me to write an article about it on Wikialpha! So I wrote the article, and linked it to collector sites.. and it's making the news section. http://www.fullmetalhero.com/content/keith-s-fantasy-club-rhinohorn-aces-version-6277/ [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 16:50, 17 April 2013 (UTC)<br />

:::::Update on this. I'm merging all the spam users into a single user via a script. However the process is CPU intensive so it will take a while. (Approximately 12 hours by my calculation.) Once they are all a single user I can nuke an perm delete their edits quite easily. [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 18:14, 30 January 2016 (UTC)<br />
::::::Sounds like a plan, I will stop individually deleting their work then. [[User:Mathewignash|Mathewignash]] ([[User talk:Mathewignash|talk]]) 18:17, 30 January 2016 (UTC)<br />
:::::::Yep don't worry about spam unless they start joining/getting through again in which case let me know ASAP. This will all be completely cleaned up by the end of tomorrow. Cheers [[User:Richard|Richard]] ([[User talk:Richard|talk]]) 18:26, 30 January 2016 (UTC)<br />
::::::::So I've re-added our second, custom signup challenge to the signup page and finished merging and deleting the spam accounts and pages. I also fixed the front page listing although its not quite as good as it used to be. Let me know if anything else needs fixing.

== Request to be admin/patroller/ rollback/page reviewer or any ==<br />
<br />
Greetings, <br />
Hope you are safe and indoors.<br />
<br />
I'm a contributor in WikiAlpha since 2017 and I have been created and edited many articles with sources. Previously, I worked in Wikipedia for over 2 years as a contributor. I know most of process and rules of Wiki.<br />
<br />
I was thinking if it's possible to get another role on WikiAlpha. As for now, I'm only contributor and can't work on the platform properly. I believe my contribution will improve more if I have any other roles rather then only contributor.<br />
<br />
Here is summery of edits made by me: [[http://wikialpha.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Foos Here]]<br />
<br />
Regards<br />
<br />
== Save Article is broken ==<br />
<br />
Is save article supposed to be broken? When I try to save an article an error code saying "preg_match failed!" pops up. If you can fix it, thank you! [[User:Rhode|Rhode]] ([[User talk:Rhode|talk]]) 13:12, 24 March 2021 (UTC)<br />

== [[Dövé Windsor]] and [[Tirsiak Smith]] ==<br />
Hi, could you please delete the following pages:<br />
* [[Dövé Windsor]] (Page name to [[Dove Windsor]])<br />
* [[Tirsiak Smith]] (Page no longer needed)<br />
Thank you! --[[User:SilvaFoxx|SilvaFoxx]] ([[User talk:SilvaFoxx|talk]]) 23:26, 27 March 2021 (UTC)<br />

== Sysop/Maintenance tools ==<br />
<br />
Hi Richard, I've been doing volunteer maintenance work on WikiAlpha for several months now. Sysop tools might make things easier. Let me know your thoughts whenever you are free (I know you're quite busy in real life). [[User:WritingSnowman|WritingSnowman]] ([[User talk:WritingSnowman|talk]]) 15:47, 21 August 2021 (UTC)<br />
<br />
== Donation ==<br />
<br />
Hi Richard,<br />
<br />
Could you verify that the Bitcoin address at [[Special:Donate]] is still valid?<br />
<br />
I'd be happy to help with some of the bills, which I assume are recently increasing due to all the extra bandwidth needed to keep WikiAlpha online.<br />
<br />
Please also let me know if there is a better way to reach you, since it seems like you are not very active on WikiAlpha anymore.<br />
<br />

::Hi WritingSnowman I've updated the donation page thanks for the kind thoughts. It's true I'm not very active on the wiki itself, but I do maintain the servers if there are problems. If you'd like to discuss mediawiki changes (they're probably well overdue) then please email richard at wikialpha with your discord ID and I'll come find you.

and the Lajnat al-Dawa al-Islami (LDI) operated an orphanage at the camp.3 Detainee stated he was in the 8th grade at school in the Jalozai Camp when KU-10024 and his brother Abid established the Sipah-i-Danesh (SID), which detainee identified as a student organization.<br />
Students attended seminars sponsored by SID at its education center in the J alozai Camp, and detainee claimed he was involved with the SID for three years. After KU-lO024’s brother died in 1991, KU-10024 became the leader of the organization. During his three years at SID, detainee attended seminars on religious instruction and participated in weeklong trips into Afghanistan for basic weapons training. Detainee noted that other students of the SID went on to become facilitators for al-Qaida. Detainee stated Abdul Zahir, who he identified as being held at JTF-GTMO, also attended SID.4 (Analyst Note: Abdul Zahir is assessed to be IZ-l0026’s interpreter, Abdul Zahir, ISN US9AF-000753DP (AF-753).)<br />

==Career==<br />
In June 2008, Dice launched "Operation Inform the Soldiers", an effort to send DVDs, letters, and declassified government documents to US [[serviceman|service members]] in [[Iraq]].

<br />
On April 12, 2018, Mark Dice was suspended from his Twitter account for saying in a tweet that there are only two genders.<ref name=":2" /> Dice responded to the suspension in a [[Facebook]] post, saying "This is the tweet Twitter is trying to force me to delete, for 'violating' their terms of service. They locked me out of my account until I 'agree' that what I said was wrong!"<ref name=":2" /> His account was reinstated on April 16.<ref name=":2" /><br />

Assange and the two Swedish women all acknowledge that Assange had sexual relations with both women -- separately. Assange, and some accounts, describe the sex as consensual.<br />
<br />
Under Swedish law consensual sex where the male has obfuscated that he is not wearing a condom is a sex crime.<ref name=ThanhNien2012-06-24/><br />

Assange was in the [[United Kingdom]] when the Swedish charges were filed.<ref name=ThanhNien2012-06-24/> <br />
He fought extradition to Sweden, asserting he feared Sweden would agree to extradite him, in turn, to the USA, where he expected to be sent to Guantanamo. In June 2012 he requested Asylum from [[Equador]].<br />

He asserted he ''“did not receive any training in Afghanistan”'' and ''“did not fight in Afghanistan because he was not convinced of the causes that were being fought for.”''<br />
<br />
One of the allegations used to justify his detention was his ownership of a Casio f91w digital watch -- the same digital watch that jihadists had been trained to use as the timer, when building time bombs.<br />
<br />
He was cleared for release from Guantanamo in 2007.<ref name=AndyWorthington2010-09-24/><ref name=AndyWorthington2012-06-06><br />

This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status. <br />
<br />
In 2004 the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled that the [[United States President|President]] did not have the [[United States Constitution|constitutional authority]] to hold individuals indefinitely without giving them an opportunity to learn and try to refute the allegations used to justify their detention.<br />
The Supreme Court recommended the Department of Defense <br />
set up Tribunals to review the combatant status of all the remaining Guantanamo captives, modeled after the tribunals described in [[army regulation 190-8]].<br />
<br />
Hintif had four of these reviews, in 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007. The heavily redacted decision memos from his 2007 review recommended he should be released.<br />
<br />
Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an [[enemy combatant]]. <br />
<br />
Hintif faced six unclassified allegations offered to justify his continued detention in 2004.<ref name=CsrtSummaryOfEvidencePg265> <br />

:It’s the case of another Yemeni said to have gone to Afghanistan for jihad, hung out in guesthouses and been caught with bad guys—and with the wrong kind of watch. Judge Kennedy was clearly persuaded that the evidence of these claims was adequate, under D.C. Circuit law, to affirm the detention.<br />

<br />
[[US District Court Judge]]s who ruled on the earlier habeas corpus petitions were ruling in favor of the captives.<ref name=AndyWorthington2011-11-29/> <br />
However, when the Department of Justice appealed those rulings to the [[Washington DC Circuit Court of Appeals]]<br />
the appeals court ruled in every case that the lower courts had erred in not giving the allegations offered by the executive branch ′′“the presumption of regularity”′′. The appeals courts′ rulings were regarded as admonishments to the lower court for trying to independently assess the credibility of the Government′s justification for continued detention.<br />

The review task force had representatives from multiple agencies, including the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]], [[United States Department of Justice|Department of Justice]], [[United States Department of State|State Department]].<br />
It was known that this joint task force had recommended <br />
approximately one third of the captives should be released, but until September 23rd, 2012, it was not known whether they had echoed the 2007 recommendations that Hintif should be released.<br />
<br />
Historian [[Andy Worthington]] published a list of 40 captives his research had lead him to believe had been cleared for release. The list included Hintif.<br />
<br />
One September 23, 2012 [[Department of Justice]] officials surprised human rights workers by publishing a list of 55 of the remaining 56 captives who had been cleared for release, confirmed that Hintif had been cleared for release.<br />

'''Thwaiba Kanafani''' is [[Canadian]]/[[Syria]]n engineer whose 2012 decision to volunteer to fight with Syrian rebels against the [[Assad regime]] triggered world-wide coverage.<ref name=Globe2012-07-12/><ref name=Yahoo2012-07-12/><ref name=NationalPost2012-07-12/><ref name=TheTimes2012-08-04/><br />
Tom Coghlan, writing in ''[[The Times]]'' of London, described her as the female face of the Syrian revolution, in August 2012.<ref name=TheTimes2012-08-07/><br />
<br />
Kanafani emigrated to [[Canada]] in 2002, after working in the [[Unite Arab Emirates]].<ref name=Yahoo2012-07-12/> <br />
She and her husband raised a family in [[Toronto]].<br />
<br />
In the months leading up to her decision to volunteer Kanafani described participating in social media discussions about the unrest in Syria, and the number of deaths of innocent civilians.<ref name=NationalPost2012-07-12/> <br />
She described being encouraged to volunteer by her older brother. Her husband and children joined her, and established a home in [[Egypt]] prior to her travel to [[Turkey]] for military training.<br />
<br />
The [[Free Syrian Army]] broadcast a [[YouTube]] recruiting video showing Kanafani surrounded by other fighters, where she announced she had joined the [[Banner of Damascus Falcons]] Troop of Aleppo Martyrs.<br />
<br />
In October 2012 Armina Ligaya writing in the ''[[National Post]]'' reported on Kanafani's return to Canada.<ref name=NationalPost2012-10-08/> <br />
She quoted Kanafani remaining committed to return to Syria. Kanafani had not served as a front-line fighter, after all, had not been called upon to fire her weapon. Her duties had consisted of committee meetings, visiting refugee camps, and other recruiting activities.<br />
<br />
In 2015 the ''[[Toronto Star]]'' described Kanafani as having left the front lines after growing disillusioned.<ref name=TorStar/><br />

<br />
Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.<br />
<br />
Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].<br />

===Response to the allegations===<br />
<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that he traveled to Italy, then Afghanistan, where he received training at the Derunta military camp.<br />
*Ourgy disputed that Derunta was an al Qaeda camp.<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that he received military training, for twenty-eight days. But he claimed this camp was small, with limited resources. So he didn't train on the RPG—although he saw one being fired. He acknowledged firing about ten AK-47 rounds, and five or six shots from a pistol.<br />
*Ourgy disputed that he engaged in hostilities.<br />
<br />
===Opening statement===<br />
<br />
Ourgy expanded on the explanations he offered while answering the allegations:<br />
:{| class="wikitable" <!-- when the quotation template doesn't work tables can pinch-hit --><br />
|<br />
:''"This training camp is not associated with Al-Qaida. The proof to this is the Taliban shut down all the training camps in Derunta. The training camp I trained in is associated with the Islamic mujahadin. They were against the Taliban and fighting the Russians. They were the ones running this camp and were not associated with anyone. The man running it told me as soon as I got there that they were not associated with anyone or any regime. The Taliban closed these camps so the people training there would have to go and train in camps with Bin Laden and Al-Qaida in Kandahar. I trained in 1997 at the beginning of the Taliban. About the issue with Tora Bora; I did not go there, Tora Bora is a village. The only way for me to go to Pakistan was through that village and the mountains of Tora Bora. There were Arabs in the mountains but I wasn't there. I just walked through there to get to Pakistan. That's it."''<br />
|}<br />
<br />
===Response to Tribunal questions===<br />
*Ourgy testified he traveled to Italy in 1989, to find work. He lived in Italy until 1997, when he traveled to Afghanistan.<br />
*Ourgy testified he traveled to Afghanistan in 1997 because he had become a drug addict. Another Tunisian man living in Italy, named [[Abu Abdullah]], encouraged him to start praying, to help him kick his drug habit. After he had been praying, and had been clean of drugs for three months, Abdullah paid for his passage to Afghanistan.<br />
*Ourgy said he still "didn't know anything at that time because of my drug use", when he agreed to travel to Afghanistan.<br />
*Ourgy testified he Abdullah told him he should not return to Tunisia because the government forbids having a beard, the veil, and praying.<br />
*Ourgy testified that another reason he did not return to Tunisia was that: ''"It would have been a problem for me to stay there for seven years and then go back to Tunisia with no money or nothing."<br />
*Ourgy said he didn't travel directly to Afghanistan. He was met by another Tunisian man, named Saif, and stayed a month in Pakistan, to begin growing a beard, because he was cleanshaven at the time. He then stayed in a house in Afghanistan for another month before he was taken to the Derunta camp.<br />
*Ourgy testified he had never had any military training prior to his stay in Derunta.<br />
*Ourgy testified that Saif told him all Muslims should receive military training.<br />
*When Ourgy was asked if the Taliban approved of his presence he replied: ''"The Taliban was not the country and couldn't approve or not approve. Afghanistan is a jungle. There is no law or anything."<br />
*Ourgy testified that, following his month of training in Derunta, he wanted to use the return portion of his round-trip ticket, to go back to Italy.<br />
*Ourgy said he was talked out of returning to Italy in Pakistan, by other Tunisians, who convinced him he was at risk of resuming his drug use in Italy. So he stayed in Pakistan.<br />
*Ourgy lived in Pakistan until 2000, working in a Libyan store that sold Arabic items.<br />
*Ourgy returned to Afghanistan in 2000, when he got married, and:<br />
:''"When the current President of Pakistan came into power he started rounding up Arabs and returning them to their countries. I was afraid he would turn me over to Tunisia. So I went to Afghanistan because there is no law or anything."<br />
*Ourgy lived in [[Jalalabad]], where he made a living by importing honey, then selling it.<br />
*Ourgy testified that during his stay in Afghanistan the Taliban never harassed him because he was not an Afghan, and they never asked him to do anything for them.<br />
*When asked Ourgy offered this account of his capture:<br />
**Ourgy testified that when Afghanistan's problems with America started he decided he and his wife should return to Pakistan.<br />
**Ourgy's brother-in-law took his wife back to Pakistan, while Ourgy made his way to Pakistan through mountain passes. <br />
**Ourgy said he stayed for ten days in a mountain village, until the headman told him he was concerned the presence of Arabs would lead to the Americans bombing his village.<br />
**Ourgy said he then moved on to the village of Tora Bora, where he stayed for approximately twenty days. When he set off, with other Arabs, to cross the border, they were bombed, he was injured, some men were killed.<br />
<br />
===Capture===<br />
<br />
Ourgy was asked to give an account of his capture:<br />
:{| class="wikitable" <!-- when the quotation template doesn't work tables can pinch-hit --><br />
|<br />
:''"My wife's brother came to me and said you and my sister should return to Pakistan. I told him to take his sister to Pakistan and then come back and I will give you everything that we have in the house. Then I will go by myself through the mountains. I couldn't go through the main road because I am an Arab. That way, when he entered Pakistan with all these household goods there would be no problem. I would just walk through the mountains. When [[Jalalabad]] was captured I heard that a lot of Arabs had been killed there. So everyone escaped. That was during the month of [[Ramadan]]. So we went to a village. I stayed there for about ten days when the head of the village came to me. He told us we had to leave because it was possible that the Americans would bomb the village if they knew Arabs were there. So they took us to the village of [[Tora Bora]] and we stayed about twenty days. We were told to stay there until they could find an Afghani guide to show us the way. The sixth night a man came and took us. We started walking with this man through the valleys where we were bombed. A lot of people were killed and I was injured. I surrendered the next morning to the Afghans. They took me to Jalalabad and then to [[Kabul]] and then to [[Bagram Theater detention facility|Bagram]], and [[Kandahar detention facility|Kandahar]] to Cuba."''<br />

Over two hundred captives had habeas corpus petitions filed on their behalf before the [[Detainee Treatment Act of 2005]] and the [[Military Commissions Act of 2006]] closed off the captives' access to the US civilian justice system. <br />
On June 12, 2008, in its ruling on the [[Boumediene v. Bush]] habeas corpus petition, the [[United States Supreme Court]] over-rode the Congress and Presidency, and restored the captives' access to habeas corpus.<br />
<br />
In September 2007 the Department of Defense published the unclassified dossiers arising from the Combatant Status Review Tribunals of 179 captives.<ref name=OardecPubliclyFiledDocuments20070910><br />

The Department of Defense has not offered an explanation why it withheld his documents.<br />

===Military Commissions Act===<br />
<br />
The [[Military Commissions Act of 2006]] mandated that Guantanamo captives were no longer entitled to access the US civil justice system, so all outstanding habeas corpus petitions were stayed.<ref name=McaLetter2006-10-16><br />

===Boumediene v. Bush===<br />
<br />
On [[June 12]] [[2008]] the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled, in [[Boumediene v. Bush]], that the [[Military Commissions Act]] could not remove the right for [[Guantanamo captives]] to access the US Federal Court system. And all previous Guantanamo captives' habeas petitions were eligible to be re-instated.<br />
The judges considering the captives' habeas petitions would be considering whether the evidence used to compile the allegations the men and boys were enemy combatants justified a classification of "enemy combatant".<ref name=BostonGlobe2008-10-24><br />

<br />
Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual [[Administrative Review Board]] hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".<br />
<br />
They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat—or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.<br />
<br />
===First annual Administrative Review Board===<br />
<br />
A [[Summary of Evidence (ARB)|Summary of Evidence memo]] was prepared for Abdul Bin Mohammed Bin Abess Ourgy's Administrative Review Board, on 22 April 2005.<ref name=ArbSummaryOfEvidenceAbdulBinMohammedBinAbessOurgy><br />

On March 3, 2006, in response to a [[court order]] from [[Jed Rakoff]] the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] published a Summarized transcripts from his Administrative Review Board.<ref name="TheAge20060404"/><br />
<br />
====Response to the factors====<br />
<br />
*Ourgy denied leaving Tunisia because he was a Muslim extremist. He pointed out that he supported himself in Italy by dealing drugs—something Muslim fundamentalists would never do.<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that Abu Abdullah, the Muslim who had helped him kick his drug habit, by helping him become more religious, had shown him Muslim propaganda videos.<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that Abu Abdullah had paid for his travel to Afghanistan.<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that he received military training at the Derunta camp.<br />
*Ourgy disputed that Derunta was an al Qaeda camp. It was an old, long-standing camp, originally run by the [[Hezb-I-Islami]], during the [[Soviet occupation of Afghanistan]].<br />
*Ourgy said that, some time after his stay at Derunta Osama bin Laden got the Taliban to shut down all the training camps that were not affiliated with al Qaeda.<br />
*Ourgy said he had no idea who the associate he was accused of having with a man dedicated to over-throwing a foreign government.<br />
*Ourgy denied any association with terrorist plots in general, and poison gas in particular.<br />
*Ourgy denied being the treasurer of the Tunisian Combatant Group. He denied being the treasurer, and he denied having the training and connections necessary to hold that kind of post.<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that he stayed for one month, in Pakistan, in a house with Hezb-I-Islami fighters. He said the Hezb-I-Islami was opposed to the Taliban and al Qaida.<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that the Tunisian Saif brought him back to Pakistan after his month of training in Derunta, where two Libyans convinced him to stay in Pakistan, not return to Italy, where he would be exposed to the temptation to return to drugs.<br />
*Ourgy said he didn't know whether the Libyans had fought against the Russians during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.<br />
*Ourgy said he had not heard the name "Abu Dajana al Tunisian" until he got his copy of the factors memo.<br />
*Ourgy denied ever identifying the location of any property owned by Osama bin Laden because he had never gone to any property owned by Osama bin Laden.<br />
*Ourgy denied engaging in hostilities, in Tora Bora, or elsewhere. He acknowledged passing through a small village named Tora Bora as he tried to exit from Afghanistan.<br />
*Ourgy denied being "Adel al Tunesi" an explosives trainer for al Qaida.<br />
*In response to the allegation that he has assaulted guards Ourgy replied:<br />
:''".the guards are not angels. They make mistakes like I make mistakes. The guard didn't spit at me but he said something, for example, I don't eat meat and they put the meat on the top of [the] vegetables and rice. When you see this, you take it and you throw it This is something very regular between us and the guards."<br />
*In response to the allegation that he went to Afghanistan for training so he could fight in Bosnia, he pointed out that Bosnian civil war ended in 1995, and he didn't travel to Afghanistan for training until 1997.<br />
*Ourgy confirmed that he had never trained at the Khalden training camp.<br />

Originally the [[George W.

| quote = Critics called it an overdue acknowledgment that the so-called Combatant Status Review Tribunals are unfairly geared toward labeling detainees the enemy, even when they pose little danger. Simply redoing the tribunals won't fix the problem, they said, because the system still allows coerced evidence and denies detainees legal representation.<br />

In 2004 the [[United States Supreme Court]] ruled, in [[Rasul v. Bush]], that Guantanamo captives were entitled to being informed of the allegations justifying their detention, and were entitled to try to refute them.<br />
<br />
===Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants===<br />
<br />
Following the Supreme Court's ruling the [[Department of Defense]] set up the [[Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants]].<ref name=UsaToday20071011/><br />
According to official policy the 520 captives who, like Laalami, had their "enemy combatant" status confirmed in 2004, should have had a annual followup hearings convened. Laalami should have had a followup status review convened by OARDEC in 2005, but there is no record that one was convened.<ref name=NYTimesGuantanamoDocketIsn237/><br />
<br />
A one page [[Summary of Evidence (CSRT)|Summary of Evidence]] was drafted on August 17, 2004.<ref name=NYTimesGuantanamoDocketIsn237/><br />
The allegations that memo listed included that: he was ''"recruited"'' in Morocco; that he traveled to Afghanistan for ''"jihad"''; that he attended the [[Al Farouq training camp]]; that he was trained to use the [[Kalashnikov]] and the "[[RPG-PK pistol]]"; and that he carried a rifle and pulled guard duty during the [[battle of Tora Bora]], where he was captured.<br />

<br />
Mohammed denied that he was recruited in Morocco.<ref name=CsrtTranscriptIsn237/><br />

<br />
The '''Silver Star''', referred to as the '''Silver Star Medal''' by all United States Armed Forces, is the third highest [[Awards and decorations of the United States military|military decoration]] for [[valor]] that can be awarded to any person serving in any capacity with the [[United States Armed Forces]]. The medal is awarded for gallantry in action against an enemy of the United States.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Silver Star medal is the successor award to the [[Citation Star]] which was established by an [[Act of Congress]] on July 9, 1918. On July 19, 1932, the [[United States Secretary of War|Secretary of War]] approved the Silver Star to replace the Citation Star. The original Citation Star is incorporated into the center of the Silver Star, and the suspension and [[service ribbon]] for the Silver Star is based closely on the [[Certificate of Merit Medal]].<ref name=tioh>{{cite web|title=Silver Star|url=http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/Awards/silver_star.aspx|work=[http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/ The Institute of Heraldry]|publisher=Office of the Administrative Assistant to the Secretary of the Army|accessdate=1 July 2012}}</ref><br />
<br />
Authorization for the Silver Star was placed into law by an Act of Congress for the [[United States Navy|U.S. Navy]] on August 7, 1942 and an Act of Congress for the [[United States Army|U.S. Army]] on December 15, 1942. The current statutory authorization for the Silver Star is [[Title 10 of the United States Code]], 3746 for the Army, 8746 for the Air Force, and 6244 for the Naval Service.<br />
<br />
==Award criteria==<br />
The Silver Star is awarded for gallantry not justifying the award of one of the next higher valor awards – the [[Distinguished Service Cross (United States)|Distinguished Service Cross]], the [[Navy Cross]], or the [[Air Force Cross (United States)|Air Force Cross]].<ref name="Section 578.12">{{cite web|title=Section 578.12 - Silver Star|url=http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2008-title32-vol3/xml/CFR-2008-title32-vol3-sec578-12.xml|work=Code of Federal Regulations|publisher=Government Printing Office|accessdate=9 October 2012}}</ref> The gallantry displayed must have taken place while in action against an enemy of the United States, while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force, or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.<ref name=DoD1348.33v3>{{cite web|title=Department of Defense Manual 1348.33 Volume 3 |url=http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/134833vol3.pdf |work=[http://www.dtic.mil/ Defense Technical Information Center]|publisher=Department of Defense |accessdate=9 October 2012 |pages=13, 52 |format=pdf |date=23 November 2010}}</ref><br />
<br />
Air Force pilots, combat systems officers, Navy and Marine Corps Naval Aviators and Naval Flight Officers flying fighter aircraft are often considered eligible to receive a Silver Star upon becoming an [[Flying ace|ace]] (i.e., having five or more confirmed aerial kills), which entails the pilot and, in multi-seat fighters, the weapons system officer or radar intercept officer, intentionally and successfully risking his life multiple times under combat conditions and emerging victorious.<ref>[http://www.maxwell.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123126667 Korean War pilot receives Silver Star 56 years later]. Retrieved 2009-03-10.</ref> However, during the Vietnam War, the last conflict to produce U.S. fighter aces, the one USAF pilot, the two USAF navigators/weapon systems officers (who were later retrained as USAF pilots), the one USN Naval Aviator and the one USN Naval Flight Officer/radar intercept officer to achieve this distinction were eventually awarded the [[Air Force Cross (United States)|Air Force Cross]] and [[Navy Cross]], respectively, in addition to Silver Stars previously awarded for earlier aerial kills.<br />
<br />
==Appearance==<br />
The Silver Star is a gold [[five-pointed star]], 1+1/2 inches in circumscribing diameter with a [[laurel wreath]] encircling rays from the center and a 3/16 inch diameter silver star superimposed in the center. The pendant is suspended from a rectangular shaped metal loop with rounded corners. The reverse has the inscription ''FOR GALLANTRY IN ACTION''. The ribbon is 1+3/8 inch wide and consists of the following stripes: 7/32 inch Old Glory red (center stripe); proceeding outward in pairs 7/32 inch white; 7/32 inch ultramarine blue; 3/64 inch white; and 3/32 inch ultramarine blue.<ref name=tioh/><br />

<br />
==Recipients==<br />
The Department of Defense does not keep extensive records of awards of the Silver Star.

===Female recipients===<br />
An unknown number of women received the award in World War II. In 1944, four Army nurses serving in Italy – [[First Lieutenant]] Mary Roberts, [[Second Lieutenant]] [[Elaine Roe]], Second Lieutenant Rita Virginia Rourke, and Second Lieutenant Ellen Ainsworth (posthumous) – became the first women recipients of the Silver Star, all cited for their bravery in successfully evacuating the 33rd Field Hospital at [[Anzio]], Italy on February 10.<ref name=foxnews/> <br />
<br />
No record of additional female awardees since World War II has come to light, until [[Sergeant]] [[Leigh Ann Hester]] was awarded the Silver Star in 2005 for gallantry during an insurgent ambush on a convoy in Iraq.<ref name=foxnews/> In 2007, it was discovered that three nurses who served in World War I were cited with Citation Stars for their service in July 1918. Having never been awarded their Citation Stars, they were awarded the Silver Star posthumously.<ref>{{cite web|title=Daughter Accepts Silver Star Her World War I Nurse Mother Earned|url=http://www.army.mil/article/4259/daughter-accepts-silver-star-her-world-war-i-nurse-mother-earned/|publisher=United States Army|accessdate=9 October 2012|date=2 August 2007}}</ref> Army [[Specialist (rank)|Specialist]] [[Monica Lin Brown]] was awarded the Silver Star in March 2008 for heroism in the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)|War in Afghanistan]].<ref name=foxnews>{{cite news | last = Abrashi | first = Fisnik | title = Medic Stationed in Afghanistan Becomes 2nd Woman to Be Awarded Silver Star | publisher = [[Associated Press]] | date =March 9, 2008 | url = http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,336259,00.html | accessdate = }}</ref><br />

{{wikisource|Summary of Evidence for Combatant Status Review Tribunal - AL BIDNA, Sa'ad Ad Ibraham Sa'ad}}<br />
<br />
Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.<br />
<br />
Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] set up the [[Office for the Administrative Review of Detained Enemy Combatants]] (OARDEC), an independent agency.<br />
In late 2004 and January 2005 [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s organized by OARDEC reviewed the status of the 558 remaining captives. Al Bidna's review took place in late October or early November of 2004.<ref name=CsrtMemoIsn337><br />

=== 2005 Administrative Review Board hearing ===<br />
<br />
Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual [[Administrative Review Board]] hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".<br />
<br />
They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat—or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.<br />

In April 2011 whistleblower organization [[WikiLeaks]] published formerly secret assessments, signed by Guantanamo camp commandants, for almost all the Guantanamo captives.<ref name=AndyWorthingtonCagePrisonersIsn337/><br />
A ''"Recommendation for Continued Detention under DoD Control"'' was leaked, dated January 26, 2006, signed by camp commandant [[Jay W. Hood]].<ref name=JtfGtmoDabIsn337><br />

The recommendation was eight pages long, and recommended his continued detention. He was, however, repatriated to Saudi custody just five months later, where he was enrolled in a [[Saudi jihadist rehabilitation program]].<br />
In November 2011, historian [[Andy Worthington]], author of ''[[The Guantanamo Files]]'', published his analysis of what the formerly secret JTF-GTNO analysis added to the public knowledge of al Bidna's case.<ref name=AndyWorthingtonCagePrisonersIsn337/><br />
Worthington noted that the JTF_GTMO assessment characterized al Bidna's account of himself as ''"inconsistent"''.<br />
He noted that JTF-GTMO analysts suspected his passport may have been forged<br />

Al Bidna was repatriated with thirteen other men, on June 25, 2006.<ref name=SaudiEmbassy06-06-25><br />

In October 2006, four months after his repatriation,<br />
Al Bidna offered an account of his activities<br />
in the months leading up to his capture<br />
that was at odds with the account he offered<br />
while in Guantanamo.<ref name=AlRiyadhInterview/><br />
In Guantanamo he described living in [[Mashad]], [[Iran]],<br />
in September, October and November of 2001,<br />
indulging in a three month sex, drug and alcohol<br />
binge, where he enjoyed a series of brief<br />
term marraiges with approximately a dozen<br />
Iranian women. In Guantanamo he denied entering<br />
Afghanistan, and explained his December 2, 2001<br />
capture in Quetta to travel to Pakistan for<br />
medical treatment after ruining his digestion<br />
through his long binge.<br />
<br />
In an October 2006 interview with ''[[al Riyadh]]'' magazine he acknowledged traveling to Afghanistan after being influenced by a [[fatwa]] to defend muslims there.<ref name=AlRiyadhInterview/> <br />
However, he described quidkly being disillusioned<br />
when he arrived and realized that the conflict was<br />
a muslim on muslim conflict.<br />

"[[Ask Vector Prime]]" revealed that a version of Dr. Ōnishi also appeared in the ''[[Transformers: Generation 1]]'' continuity, where he was part of the team of scientists who worked on the [[Raiden (Transformers)|Raiden Initiative]] that produced the [[Trainbots]]. When the time came to name the six robots, Ōnishi-an avid fan of old fashioned trains-was allowed to name [[Kaen]] at his own request, expressing hope that the new [[Autobot]] would "be a light to many."<br />
