Article for Wellred Weekly

Hi Spankart, just to let you know that I've sent you an email regarding a possible article on the Spanking Art Wiki for our journal, Wellred Weekly. - Februs 20:14, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, I received your mail and will reply. --Spankart ^(talk) 20:44, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

Spam attacks

Given the flood of annoying spam attacks recently, maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to suspend the new user account option for a few weeks. And, for the future, make it a more complicated process to create a new account to keep random spammers from joining en mass. -- Jameslovebirch 15:59, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

That's what I've been wanting to have done for weeks. Unfortunately our hosts at animeotk.com are unresponsive and I can do nothing without them. --Spankart ^(talk) 20:36, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

drag n' drop otk simulator

Spankart,

Would you mind sending me the link for this to <redacted email address>?

You mean the Drag'n'Drop OTK Composer? There is no more link, sorry, as the site A Spanking New Art Genre was closed in 2005. You can try if Archive.org will give you their cached copy at [1]; copy the HTML/JS source code from there and the images, and put it back together locally. --Spankart ^(talk) 11:58, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Bizarre

If the art of John Willie from his Bizarre magazine is public domain, what about the cover art? I have a cover from 1946 I'd like to add to the magazine article. Looks like his style but could have been by another artist. -- Jameslovebirch 18:46, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

It is currently being disputed on Commons whether John Willie's Bizarre magazine (1946-1959) is really public domain, see [2]. It looks like it is, or might be, but let's wait until this thread is resolved on Commons. I'm not really fit in U.S. copyright law, but I understand the PD notice and [3] such that the magazine is PD in the U.S. as "Works Registered or First Published in the U.S.; Date of Publication: 1923 through 1977; Published without a copyright notice; Copyright Term: None. In the public domain due to failure to comply with required formalities". If the magazine is PD, then, as far as I understand it, so is all its contents, including all the cover images regardless of who made them. --Spankart ^(talk) 21:52, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

There is a series of interesting S&M photos from 1930 by the artist Man Ray (who died in 1976) that I would like to use. I suppose this is also impossible under the current restrictions? -- Jameslovebirch 15:04, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes, unless the photos are in the PD by some twist of U.S. law (see the link above), the normal copyright term "year of death + 70 years" means his works will be copyrighted until 2047. --Spankart ^(talk) 22:50, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

Upgrades

This wiki installation has been upgraded from 1.16.* to 1.18.*, additionally all extensions have been upgraded to their latest respective versions and those which were obselete have been replaced with their new counterparts. Due to this there may be one or two errors, please keep an eye out. Ai 16:06, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Additionally, I have enabled xcache caching for all users, and static file caching for users who are not logged in. This should speed things up considerably. It shouldn't create any additional errors, but as with my above message please keep an eye out for anything Ai 16:44, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, Ai! That's great news. --Spankart ^(talk) 21:14, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Still having a couple of teething problems but I'm working on them. Cite is now fixed Ai 19:35, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

tv icon with thumbnail issue

There seams to be an issue with File:Television.svg's thumbnail. --  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   23:52, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

I fixed it by re-uploading from the original file on Commons. --Spankart ^(talk) 09:46, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Template:Youtube

Ok all pages are now using {{YouTube2}}, so I could safely delete {{YouTube}} without braking any pages. have done so, I deleted {{YouTube}} and moved {{YouTube2}} into it's place leaving behind a redirect so that {{YouTube2}} still work despite it actually being {{YouTube}}. It is now ready for barebot to simple delete the 2 from the template name. but i'll give the database a brief rest before doing so as it going to spam the hell out of the resent changes as it the 16th most used template on the wiki. --  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   21:03, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Great! Many thanks for your work, Rogue. --Spankart ^(talk) 17:06, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Basically I'm waiting for the next backup (which is on the 18th) so use the backup with the bot to fined what needs to be changed, it means the only time the bot has to 'hammer' the wiki is when it's making it's changes, rather then have it open and download ever page, page by page —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   18:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi, GM here

Hey Spankart, got your message, just thought I'd report in for duty. Let me know if there's anything you need done around the place, I'm always available to lend a hand. Ciao, Simon (Gauis Marius) SimonKirby (talk) 08:56, 20 May 2012 (UTC)

PS: Thanks, congratulations and great work as always.

RE: Adolescent001a.jpg

Regarding File:Adolescent001a.jpg: I recall there was minor controversy over this image just before AOTK's server went offline. In case you're unfamiliar with the image, it's a simple line drawing of a nude adolescent girl, showing the typical proportions of a child entering puberty (the picture is posted on our other wiki under the same filename). I'm wondering if the image would be acceptable under our current image policy (as mentioned here, I'm a little uncertain as to what falls under the heading of "prurient"). Thanks for your time. Ciao, Simon. SimonKirby (talk) 01:23, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I recall the image. I consider it no problem. Biology textbooks in schools feature similar illustrations, often even in photo form, to show how the body features change from child to adult. The drawing, as such, is perfectly neutral (not sexualized in pose or context). Still, it does somehow seem to draw the viewer's attention a little too much to the girl's crotch area, which might be the reason some people could consider it objectionable. I don't know how to fix this, other than to redraw it perhaps in three quarter view. --Spankart (talk) 22:56, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Lost pages

Didn't we lose a page on marriage or spanking and marriage? I have a detailed, formatted list of CP videos about marriage that were posted somewhere -- but that section no longer seems to exist.

Also, as noted elsewhere, we had an "Interracial" subject page of some sort that was lost. I have a film list for that as well. -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 17:56, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Yes. This relaunch is based on a database backup from February 2012 and so it is painfully missing all the work we did in the wiki in March and April 2012. We hope Anime OTK will come back up, so that we can recover all those missing edits, articles and files. See also Spanking Art:Relaunch 2012. --Spankart (talk) 21:03, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

Flag Icons

Hey, Spankart. Here's an idea I originally posted on Naughty Corner, but it didn't really take hold. I thought we might be able to use these "buttons" to signify country of origin re artists, artwork and related subject matter. They're relatively simple to produce in photoshop, and I can make as many as necessary. Let me know if you think this is a good idea, and I'll reproduce them as miniature gif transparencies. Ciao, Simon. SimonKirby (talk) 06:43, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Test 50 px

I think they look good, visually, but I can't see much use for them here, except perhaps in a table. To add them by convention to any articles that have some connection to a country will be a lot of work, and we might spend our limited online time better on other tasks. We once tried the idea of adding standardized "bio infoboxes", via a template, to provide basic bio information in the top right corner at a quick glance. But this project didn't catch on yet. --Spankart (talk) 22:18, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Math problems

I can't save changes to exterior links without a spam block coming up that requires solving a simple math equation. But it doesn't work. Put in the correct answer and it keeps asking me to solve another, and another... It will never save any changes. Please fix this when you get a chance. -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 15:24, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Do you still get that problem? Perhaps a forced-reload of the page, e.c. CTRL+F5, might help; I've had a similar issue with the math captcha once. As to the spam block, can you please give me the domains so that I can add them to the whitelist? If the wiki won't let you save a page with these domains in it, just hack a space character into the middle of the domain name. --Spankart (talk) 21:55, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Sometimes it works, but mostly have problems. Going to any page, in addition to saving/previewing changes, often ends in an error message: "Safari can't open page ... server where page is located isn't responding". Today, in order to add an external link to the Kailee Links section, had repeated server errors plus a hang-up with the math-problem blocker. Finally a rather strange equation (3 - 8 = -5) was accepted. -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 15:47, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

I have done several edits in the past couple days and had no problem with the math question, once I realized that the answer can be a minus quantity. -- Pineapple (talk) 18:31, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

Another glitch is pages often download in a different simplified text-only format with no layout structure. Looks like a basic default setting is taking over. Today, in order to save changes with exterior links, had to solve 9 math problems in a row -- plus several server errors. Came close to giving up. If this continues, I probably won't be contributing much in the future. Will this site be moving to a new location? -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 15:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry for the troubles, we're all handicapped by this extremely slow server at the moment, but I'm hoping we can move to a different server, or reduce the load on this one, soon. We'll try to keep the URL spankingart.org even if we move servers. If anything happens that causes a longer complete downtime of the wiki I'll try to write infos on my blog. Right now I'm travelling and very busy with work, so I can't do much this week. Please try to contact Rogue for anything that he as an admin can do. The pages that are sometimes displayed with the "broken layout" come from the slow server, I think it's not always serving the required CSS files that make the layout, and the result then looks like this. --Spankart (talk) 02:11, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Yes the layout problem is caused by the slow server 'timing out' the CSS pages. —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   02:24, 5 June 2012 (UTC)

Spanking in anime

I noticed you added an example image and was wondering if you knew what series File:1230464402072.gif was from so I could label it. If you don't know I could try posting it on /a/ and seeing if anyone recognizes the characters. They don't ring a bell with me at the moment.

Ideally I'd love it if we could get a picture, animated GIF or video to illustrate every instance of spanking in anime. Would it be possible in the future for each spanking-featuring series to have its own page here?

Also I noticed the image is hosted at this url and when I tried to visit uncyc.org I was told to load uncyclopedia.­info due to failure. Does this mean that SpankingArt.org is now a sub-wiki of Uncyclopedia? Ty 03:22, 13 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Ty,

• I don't know what series this example is from. It's just a pic I happened to find on Uncyclomedia Commons. Feel free to post it elsewhere; the information would of course be welcome for us.
• Yes, it would be possible, and welcome. We have articles on books, on comics, on films, on TV shows; in the same way we can have articles on anime series. The only difficulty for illustrating is that we can't permit copyrighted images as part of this wiki, so you'd need to circumnavigate this as detailed on our Spanking Art:External image policy. Currently supported external hosts are Flickr, Photobucket, and Uncyclomedia Commons. Another option, for video clips, would be YouTube or Dailymotion, but our video embedding feature is broken at the moment and we have no outlook when it will be fixed.
• Technically, we're now hosted on the same server as Uncyclomedia Commons (IP address 68.71.52.214). We are one of several wikis hosted on this server and share some of the technical configuration. In all other respects, we're an individual wiki and not associated with Uncyclopedia. --Spankart (talk) 22:09, 16 August 2012 (UTC)

Superman

Unfortunately the places I found them lacked that information, the black and white ones at least must surely be old enough to be public domain I'd hope =/ Even barring the info isn't there some kinda fair-use way we could have them up until we find them? Displaying them's probably the most assured way to figure out the exact year/comic they're from, I'd guess.

Barring that, all I can figure is maybe to upload them to DC.wikia and ask if they might be able to help source them, since they seem to allow that.

If they stay up there, would it be okay to link to where they're hosted on the DC wikia to display them on that article? Ty 06:36, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Unless we have some certainty of PD status we can't allow the images here as our image use policy explicitly forbids fair use. Other wikis, including most Wikia wikis, have no such policy and will usually allow unfree or doubtful content. We can link to images on these external sites, but we can't hotlink to them, except if the site explicitly permits hotlinking. Your easiest way of showing the images here in this wiki is described in our external image policy. --Spankart (talk) 10:48, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

AOTK

Regarding the mass info removal, it got me wondering, due to the clear division in ownership and lifespan of the old forum and the new forum, could we plausibly have separate articles for AOTK 1.0 and 2.0? That way content could be updated for the current site while retaining the content that had been built for the old one. One other key thing I noticed is that most forums have a 'contact' button that leads to a form for getting in contact with administration and stuff like that.

I can't seem to find it on AOTK v2.0 and it makes me wonder, is there even a way to do that other than registering and PMing? It appears one must log in to use their chat room as well. As far as I can tell they don't have any organized ban appeals system in place, so I'm at a loss at how to clear up a misunderstanding regarding Gaius Marius. Ty 06:57, 18 August 2012 (UTC)

Yes, it would be possible to have separate articles on the original and the new Anime OTK forums. It would be easier to do, lexicographically, if the new one had chosen a clearly different name. But we could use something like Anime OTK version 2 or Animeotk.net or AnimeOTK.net as a lemma.

As to your other questions, I'm sorry I can't help, as I never spent much time on AOTK, neither the old nor the new forum. --Spankart (talk) 10:36, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

As per the talk page, I think I'll go with AnimeOTK.com and AnimeOTK.net with the basic phrase simply being a disambiguation page for the two. Luckily C precedes N alphabetically so it makes remembering pretty simple. Ty 05:28, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Kiss

Was reading your post in 2011 and noticed something lulzy has occured now that we are hosted on the Uncyc servers. Ty 05:25, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, this is a different image that just happens to have the same file name. It's automatically transcluded by the wiki software. We can't stop the software from doing that, but it's no problem. --Spankart (talk) 17:34, 2 September 2012 (UTC)

SM201

Noticed this other BDSM website, SM201, is simply copying and pasting entire pages from this site, including photos (mine) and YouTube videos. (At least their videos play.) This actors page is an example. So, they can freely do this without giving any credit? It doesn't seem quite right. -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 16:59, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

See SM-201. It is not right, the site blatantly violates the GFDL license. I already tried twice to contact Robin Roberts to talk to him about it, but never got a reply. --Spankart (talk) 20:12, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Uncyc

Also Uncyclopedia to boot. I was thinking it would be good to have articles about these here, since they now pertain to the wiki since we're somehow hosted on their servers... I tend to get the two a bit confused TBH. Like if they split up or something. It appears there's an Uncyclopedia hosted on Wikia now so it's especially confusing. As far as I can tell, they appear to have separate userbases, and Wikia Staff seem to be able to upload pornography there whilst banning people for doing less on other Wikia projects. Very confusing. Ty 04:12, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

For the moment, refer to Wikipedia: "25% (or 20 out of 79) of the Uncyclopedia collection is hosted by Wikia". --Spankart (talk) 20:50, 12 September 2012 (UTC)

Russian artist works

Hi Spankart!

Although I am a thankful reader of this Wiki for a long time I registered only now. I have an information about a few Russian spanking artists, but unfortunately I am not very experienced in Wiki editing. So if you don’t mind I’ll post what I have here, so you can decide wether it’s worth mentioning in your Wiki, or not.

The first artist is known as femalepower (the real name is unknown). His works were posted on now defunct femdomart.ru. He made color paintings and simple Flash animations. I was in contact with this author back in 2007 and he has sent me his works. I have three pictures from him:

[4]

[5]

[6]

Also after deletion of femdomart.ru he was kind enough to send me three Flash animations. Unfortunately I mistakenly deleted one of them so currently I have only two. He didn’t have his own site so he wanted to place his works just anywhere to preserve them. Here is download link for the Flash files (please keep both .swf and .html files in the same folder, otherwise it wouldn’t work).

http://www.mediafire.com/?zsdodd33b04eflb

I am not sure if this information is new to you - may be you already have all this works in your tremendous collection. But if this is of any interest I’ll be happy to make even a tiny contribution to Spanking Art Wiki.

Thanks, ‎Friendlycat! Yes, we already have an article on him. He was missing on List of spanking artists, but the search function in the sidebar would have gotten you to the article Femalepower. Thank you very much for the links, which I copied into the article. The flash animations didn't work for me, maybe they are in Mac format only. --Spankart (talk) 19:04, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Box error

You asked why your {{Box}} edit did not work on {{YouTube}} the reason was you had a = sign which had special meaning as a template parameter assignment. we might want to make {{equal}} to be a to work like {{!}} does for | and {{!!}} does for || —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   03:49, 16 September 2012 (UTC)

Ah ok. Thanks! I'm so happy to see you back, Rogue! --Spankart (talk) 18:12, 17 September 2012 (UTC)

Russian artist works-2

Hi Spankart!

This is the information about yet another Russian spanking artist. It was really stupid of me to overlook femalepower article. Having no desire to repeat this mistake I checked up the artist list and kindinov seem not to be there. So here is a short information on him and his works, so you can decide weather or not to add him to Wiki (to me his works worth it).

Kindinov is Russian artis living in Riga (Latvia). As far as I know he is professional and makes spanking drawings just for fun. He posts his works for everyone to see in his own thread on the main Russian spanking forum:

http://www.sokoly.ru/vbforum/showthread.php?t=3887

You can contact him via private message there.

Often people ask him to sketch this or that scene and sometimes he does. One girl even sent him her own photo and he depicted her in historical spanking scene. He works in pencil and usually makes fantasy scenes from Russian history - sometimes his girls even wear Russian army Napoleonic-era uniform, etc..

Here are some links to his works. Please note that all drawings were uploaded by artist himself for everyone to see so I think it’s OK to post the here: [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [28] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [36] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47] [48] [49] [50] [51] [52] [53] [54] [55] [56] [57] [58] [59] [60] [61] [62] [63] [64] [65] [66] [67] [68] [69]

Watercolor: [70]

Please excuse me for this wall of text, but I tried to list all authors uploads.

Thanks very much! I didn't know this artist before and his works are of exeptional quality and style. I created the new article Kindinov based on your input. Do you speak Russian by the way? Does Kindinov speak any English? --Spankart (talk) 20:52, 19 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I am Russian and naturally enough I speak Russian. :) I am not sure if Kindinov speaks English, but I can send him PM on the forum and ask, as well as drop him a message from you. I contacted him about a year ago and asked for help in supporting the Annual Spanking Story Contest that is held on an another Russian spanking forum - «Crime and Punishment»:

http://clubpn.org/forum/index.php

I like this contest and sometimes make posters to promote it, trying to mimic Soviet posters of 20s-30s.

[71] [72]

I asked Kindinov to illustrate a story he likes most and he kindly did. He’s very calm and friendly person, and really a great artist! I also illustrate spanking stories that I like and sometimes write my own. Although my English is rather poor, I even wrote one story in English for American forum and illustrated it. Unfortunately this is a horror halloween tale, not spanking. My American friend was kind enough to edit it. http://brokenforums.com/showthread.php?t=7677

Wow. If you can do something like this in 2 hours you are good. If you also illustrate spanking stories, perhaps we should write an article about you too. Would you agree to make any of your artwork available under a free license (suitable copyleft or public domain), so we can use it here? And could you perhaps ask Kindinov if he would agree to put any of his artwork under such a license?

Another thing I'd like to show you is our helpful Spanking Art:Cheatsheet. For example, to sign your postings on talk pages, type four tilde (~) characters. And to indent, start the line with one or more colons (:). --Spankart (talk) 20:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Spankart!

I don’t really think my works deserve a special article on Wiki. Unfortunately I don't have enough practice for the last years and I am rather lazy so my illustrations are mostly loose sketches - nothing like Kindinov's professional work. I posted my illustrations on my Talk page with some explanations. You can use them in Spanking Art Wiki as well as on other Web sites.

I’ll drop the message to Kindinov about free licence pictures for you. The answer can take some time as he visits Forum when finishing another drawing, but hopefully you’ll have an answer within a week.

Please feel free to ask if you need some pic or icon for the Wiki, or simple animation. As I have a lot of work it may take some time, but if this is a simple project I can complete it is reasonable time.

Friendlycat (talk)

Thanks! Just to be double sure about "You can use them in Spanking Art Wiki as well as on other Web sites" -- are you okay with putting them under the CC-BY-SA license? --Spankart (talk) 21:36, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Yes, I agree that you use any picture I posted on my talk page under the CC-BY-SA licemce. I uploaded all my illustrations choosing CC-BY-SA 3.0 from Licence Information menu. Hopefully I did it right. Friendlycat (talk)

You did it pretty much right, you got the main thing right setting the Licence 8) I Pretty much only added you as the source of the images (It's always best when the artist is the source other wise put in the source a link to where the image came from) added the drawings to image categories, and Linking your multi-image story illustration together under similar images —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   02:31, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Wow, thank you very much for the uploads, Friendlycat! With so many great artworks here now I really think we should collect them in an article -- hope you are okay with it? --Spankart (talk) 21:42, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Hi Spankart! A contacted Kindinov. He speaks English and he will contact you. He says that he can provide some pictures for you under CC-BY-SA licemce. He is rather critical about his early works (to me they are just great!) and he wants to improve and re-upoad some if them. Hopefully he will contact you soon.

Friendlycat (talk)

That sounds good! I'll wait for Kindinov's message then. My contact adresses are described here. --Spankart (talk) 20:37, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Restaurants

Was considering putting up a page that listed mainstream theme restaurants (as opposed to private clubs) that include light-hearted patron CP as part of the "service". My choice of title would be "Spanking theme restaurants" or "Theme restaurants with spanking" unless you prefer something else. Noticed there is a growing number of these eateries (Heart Attack Grill, Hofbrauhaus, etc.) in the U.S. and possibly more elsewhere. -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 13:06, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

That's a good idea. I'm wondering if we can also find other (non restaurant) places where people can get public fun spankings as part of the experience and entertainment, e.g. theme parks, Renaissance fairs, school museums? --Spankart (talk) 19:34, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Russian artist works-3

Hi Spankrt!

Please find the gallery of yet another amateur spanking artist known as... Spank Artist (who could guess?):

All his works I was able to find: [73] [74] [75] [76] [77].

It comes without saying that I sent him a letter about your Wiki with links.

Thank you, Friendlycat! Give him my regards; I hope he might join us too, and/or give permission for image licensing. --Spankart (talk) 18:36, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Web Design Superhero

File:Web Design Superhero.jpg is unused and uncategorized, originally uploaded by you does it still serve a purpose? —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   22:47, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

My bad it _is_ used. —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   22:48, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

Delete uploaded photo

I accidentally uploaded a photo to which I irrevocably released all rights. I did not have permission to upload the file, but I have since replaced it with an identical version with a different file name which i do have permission to upload. I would like to have the first one deleted and the replacement (identical but for filename) retained instead. Can you make this happen? Thanks. SpankedSissy (talk) 06:43, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Sure, but Roguebfl has already done it as I can see. --Spankart (talk) 15:33, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

S.A. Panin

Hi Spankart!

Sorry, but I'm SPAMing your talk page again. The reason is that I am not sure my English is good enough for starting a new article in Wiki. S.A. Panin (Russian - Панин Сергей Анатольевич) is modern Russian oil painter. His main specialization is landscape genre, but occasionally he depicts historical scenes. Here is two his spanking-related works

• Punishment of a clumsy maidservant: [78]
• Hidden tease: [79]

Both paintings are on sale on art-dealer sites, but I am not sure uploading images here will be OK. Here are two Web pages where you can fing Panin's works: [80] [81] Friendlycat (talk)

Hi Friendlycat, thanks! I had put Sergei Anatolyevich Panin's name on the article Spanking in painting, but of course he deserves a separate article. Which I will write soon thanks to your reminder. Thanks for the other links! --Spankart (talk) 08:36, 19 March 2013 (UTC)

Login

Hi. When I try to login the site says it does not exist any user with my name

/Qqll

Welcome back Qqll when recovered the database from the animeotk shutdown it did not include the user database. You can recover your account simply by recreating it as the same name. While it will have a problem listing you old contribution as a user log side, however on the actual page histories they are still listed. —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   21:27, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Hi Spankart

...just thought I'd leave this here :) Ciao, Simon/SimonKirby (talk) 03:05, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks. --Spankart (talk) 18:39, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

Paddles

The home page for Paddles shows the cover of the (print?) April 2008 issue (vol 15, no. 4). They claim to have published online since 1998 -- but those issues only go up to 2004. I took that to mean they stopped with the 2008 issue. However, there is also a subscriber offer for bimonthly print issues that suggests they are still in print.

A very disorganized and out-of-date website. Hard to tell if this is still active or a neglected site. Even stranger is the DVD section offers two videos from Punished Brats. Possibly this magazine is owned or is in collaboration with PB. Pretty confusing. -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 18:28, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

I myself own a printed copy of Paddles "Volume 15 No 2, published bi-monthly, June-July 2008". I think the magazine probably ended at an unknown point between July 2008 and today, and their website is frozen since. --Spankart (talk) 06:10, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Your advice, please?

Hi SA, Simon here again. I'm writing to get some advice RE Uncyclopedia.

Long story short, I'd like to start an encyclopedia dedicated to panchira and panty shots. I've already joined one on Wikia, but as we already know, their administrators have an unfortunate tendency to delete on sight.

Do you think that Uncyclopedia's admin might be willing to host a Panchira Wiki, and if so, who should I contact to discuss the matter? Any advice you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, SimonKirby (talk) 03:23, 18 May 2013 (UTC).

Hi, Simon. I am unsure if our host might be willing, or what the outcome would be if he did so. But as he has helped us before when Wikia took our wiki down, and later again, when Anime OTK collapsed, there might be chances he would help you too if Wikia were to delete, for example, Pantsu Wiki one future day. Of course this is not a promise, just a chance. But I think it makes more sense to keep building an existing wiki on your subject of interest than to start a new one on the same subject -- and to make regular backups, most important of all. This is the best advice I can give you. No host is a safe haven forever. And Wikia did provide us with regular backups back in the old days -- and they also gave us real good technical support with the relaunch after they had taken our wiki down. At Anime OTK, page backups we received were irregular, file backups even more irregular, and technical support for our relaunch was zero. At our current host, we get no regular backups at the time of speaking. --Spankart (talk) 21:42, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Limited access

I'm stuck with limited access for the next week. I stuck with borrowed smartphone until the weekend —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   04:20, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

Ok, thanks for letting me know. --Spankart (talk) 19:11, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

License

It's a screenshot from episode 9 of this anime, not sure what to put in the file description. So that I can more freely add screenshots should I export a copy of the spanking in anime article to http://animeSlaps.wikia.com ? I made it to cover a broader context of slapping (shoulder, face, etc) but spanking would fall under the context of slapping. Ty 21:11, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Screen shots like that would at best be fair use while some wikia wikis allow fair use images, they are not currently part of this wiki's policy. As for exporting the free license nature of the wiki does allow for that, however you should add a link back to spanking in anime saying 'used text from spankingart wiki' to be in full complaice with the wiki's license. —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   21:54, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

Good luck with your slapping wiki, Ty. --Spankart (talk) 21:22, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Маркиз spanking art

Hi Spankart!

I don't think my English is good enough to make entries in Wiki, so yet again, here is some brief information on Russian amateur artist known as Маркиз (Marquis). Watercolor is his preferable media and he mostly depicts fantasy scenes from Russian Civill War, Stalin NKVD years, or makes political caricatures where Putin’s party is depicted as a female character and spanked. Also he produces his own spanking clips under »КЛЭР Studio» brandname. He has the his thread on Russian roughman.ru BDSM forum (no registration required): [82]

Here is some of his works:

[83] [84] [85] [86] [87] [88] [89] [90] [91] [92] [93] [94] [95] [96] [97] [98]

Friendlycat (talk)

Thanks, Friendlycat! I put that into Marquis. Two questions: a) by "fantasy scenes", do you mean the genre fantasy or do you mean fictional, imagined scenes? b) what do you mean by "spanking clips" -- spanking video clips (short films), or stills from spanking videos? --Spankart (talk) 20:28, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and do you think Маркиз would license one of his works under GFDL or CC-BY-SA? --Spankart (talk) 20:32, 23 July 2013 (UTC)

a)fictional (imagined) scenes b) spanking video clips (short movies)

As usual I'll sen him private message on the forum and ask about licensing his works. Friendlycat (talk)

Thank you. --Spankart (talk) 20:03, 29 July 2013 (UTC)

Blog site

Noticed the Spank Her 4 Real blog has lifted the entire Kiri Kelly interview I did plus the photos and posted it at their site. Is this okay or do they need permission to do so? Link below:

http://spankher4real.blogspot.com/2012/04/interview-with-kiri-kelly.html#axzz2agUJF2SJ

Jameslovebirch (talk) 04:03, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

Twice no: no, they don't need permission to reuse our contents, and no, it is not okay because they did not follow all of the required terms of the GFDL. These terms are pretty complex, and among other things they demand that every reuser must include a full copy of the text of the license with their distribution. Soon after the launch of Wikipedia, it became clear that the GFDL is not an ideal copyleft license (as it was originally made for software documentation, not for wikis). An informal "gentleman's agreement" that came up at Wikipedia says that a hypertexted line such as Template:Wipipedia-text or Template:Wikipedia-text (I'm sure you've seen these used here on the wiki) is considered sufficient for wiki content reuse on the Internet. Most authors in GFDL licensed wikis tend to accept this gentleman's agreement. (Some people who reuse wiki content think it is enough to provide just a link to the source, but this view is not generally shared among the copyleft community.)

So you may want to try contacting the blogger and ask them to change their line:

Interview found on http://spankingartwiki.animeotk.com/wiki/Kiri_Kelly

to something like:

This blog posting is based on the Spanking Art wiki article Kiri Kelly and is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License. The list of authors can be seen in the page history.

Good luck! --Spankart (talk) 20:19, 1 August 2013 (UTC)

amateur (digital art)

Hi Spankart!

Here is some brief information on yet another Russian amateur artist known under amateur nickname. He is from Moscow and his technique is enirely digital - he treats an original or composed photo or with a number of Photoshop filters and then traces over it using graphic tablet.

He has his thread on main Russian spanking forum (registration required): http://www.sokoly.ru/vbforum/showthread.php?t=5865 I'll send him a mesage about licensing his works for Wiki.

Here is all his works I was able to find: [99] [100] [101] [102] [103] [104] [105] [106] [107] [108] [109]

Friendlycat (talk)

Thank you very much for the information. Please feel free to write an article amateur (artist). It would help if he could post his artwork anywhere that does not require registration for viewing. Could you try using Google image search to search if they show up anywhere else? --Spankart (talk) 18:28, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Copyright

Pandora Blake has granted me permission to upload images onto your site, provided that I retain the watermark and that there is a link to her site, Dreams of Spanking. However I am unclear as to whether this fits in with your image policy ?

Sam

Hello Sam, that's good news. As long as she does agree to one of the licenses in our Image use policy (e.g. CC-BY-SA) it is okay. A link to her site can be included on the image description page, this is no problem. Watermarks are not very usual in copyleft artwork but they are not forbidden either. However anyone is also free to remove the watermark if they can, because the copyleft licenses we use all permit derivative work. There exist other copyleft licenses which forbid derivative work (such as CC-BY-ND-SA), but these are incompatible to this wiki. The "BY-SA" ("attribution" plus "share alike") part of the CC-BY-SA license fulfils same function as the watermark, but in a legal, not "mechanic" way. It ensures that anyone who wants to reuse the image anywhere legally must give credit to the original source. --Spankart (talk) 19:36, 19 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello Spankart,

Thanks very much for getting back to me. Unfortunately having looked at the copyleft licenses, I really don't think that they would be acceptable to her. I must say that running a wiki looks seriously complicated !

Sam

I'm sorry to hear that. It's not very complicated, it's just that in order to make such a wiki work both legally and practically, all contents have to be under a license that allows reuse and modification. We use the same license as Wikipedia did when they started, the GFDL, and our images must be compatible to this license. --Spankart (talk) 21:48, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

Strange on profile

Hi. I saw that someone put up strange text on my profile. I just want to make clear that it is not me who made it. I have not been active here for a long time, but I go back and read now and then. I activated my profile again now, so you can reach me if you want to ask something. --Qqll (talk) 10:59, 18 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi Qqll, good to see you back. Don't worry, it was just a spambot, such spam has never any connection to the page edited and is easily reverted. --Spankart (talk) 20:46, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Swatty (swatthrashing) contribution

Hello, I love your Wiki. You asked me to give you some information about me so I can be included in your artists' list. I go by Swatty. I've been an amateur spanking artist for years. I'm in the US. I'm mainly interested in F/m but I've also done some FM/m, F/f, M/f and F/M drawings. My art is public domain. It's a pleasure to join you.

Hi Swatty and welcome on board! :) Your article is ready -> Swatty <-, feel free to make any edits you want. Ah, and you can sign your posts on talk pages (like this here) by entering four tilde characters (--~~~~). More syntax help is on Spanking Art:Cheatsheet. --Spankart (talk) 21:01, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Hello Manorainjan, the page view counts are disabled at our current host (since 2012). I wish we still had the page counts, but the configuration of the wiki server is out of our control. --Spankart (talk) 19:10, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

captcha

the captcha is too ambiguous.

Thanks for your feedback. I'm afraid the captcha, too, is out of our control. But we get free wiki hosting here together with a nice domain, without ads, and we're hardly bothered by spambots, so we can't complain. --Spankart (talk) 19:14, 20 April 2015 (UTC)

BoJay

Hi spankart, sorry if I'm at the wrong place. I love your site and was looking for a place to ask a question. I was wanting to know how I could contact the artist BoJay for commission work? My email is [email protected]. Thanks for providing such a great wiki and all of your artwork as well!

Hi Kayla, thanks a lot! :) I found e-mail addresses for BoJay on [110] (bojayart(at)hotmail.com) and [111] (contact form and the address dreamtales(at)hotmail.com). You can try these. --Spankart (talk) 20:06, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Multilinguism

Hi spankart. I was wondering if this could be possible to produce foreign versions of your site in various languages (Estonian, French, Italian, Spanish, etc.) for peoples who don't have English for mother tongue. WXY (talk) 06:41, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi WXY, yes this is certainly possible, and our wiki's free license permits to reuse all of the images and also to translate all of the contents as long as the license requirements are met (stating the exact licenses, giving credit to the authors/artists/source). But that would need a small community of authors fluent in that language who have a lot of time and stamina to invest the required work continually over a period of many years, without giving it up. They would be totally left to themselves in that project. I have seen many wikis get started, but after 50, 100 or 200 hours of work invested they ended in an unmaintained content ruin or in digital nirvana. This just as a warning -- I certainly would be very happy to see a second Spanking Art Wiki in another language version. But I can't stress the work involved strongly enough. The community for this English language wiki is small and weak enough; any other language will have it even harder. --Spankart (talk) 07:38, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Editing Hassle

Hi! Whatever I want to do; I see the blank white page. Even I cannot edit my user pages. I guess the problem is in the AntiSpam service. The puzzle seldom appears; but mostly does not and I see the white page after pressing submit button. Please let me enjoy working here. :-) PersianSpanker (talk) 16:45, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Just now, I could not edit my user sub-page. :-) It is interesting that I could leave a message here. PersianSpanker (talk) 16:46, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

I'm very sorry for your hassles. I am afraid help is difficult because none of us working in the wiki are admins on the server running the wiki. And the only person who is the actual admin is difficult to reach. Unfortunately the behavour as described seems to be irregular, sometimes you can save your edit and sometimes you can't. I suspect the problem might have to do with the caching server of CloudFlare, because we have never seen the problem until our host moved to CloudFlare. I never see the problems you're describing myself when I'm logged in as Spankart (I always am, as I tick the box "Keep me logged in"). Can you try if it helps of you make sure to tick that box when logging in? User:Euticus had reported the same kind of problems last year. I'll ask him if he still has the same problem or if he knows of a solution. --Spankart (talk) 19:53, 31 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello Spankart, I am having the same editing problem since the beginning of the year. I have tried to edit my own talk page [112] from the main page edit link and from the section edit link, but this will definitely not work. Today, I managed to post a test message on [113] and to cancel it, but I could not post again on the same page since then. 豆 (talk) 16:28, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello 豆さん, I'm very sorry for your editing problem. I am really puzzled what could be the reason of the problem or how to find a workaround. Can you help me by making some tests? First, I would like to find out if your problem is the same when using another computer, so that we can find out if it has to do with client-side caching or not. Could you try that? --Spankart (talk) 18:59, 13 April 2017 (UTC)

I have used different computers and different browsers on each computer, but this would not work either. It is as if I could edit a talk page only once or twice, then I get an Error 500 message or a blank page every time I submit a reply, depending on the browser. 豆 (talk) 11:05, 14 April 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your tests! I will try to reach our host (server admin) and ask him if he has an idea. --Spankart (talk) 20:19, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello 豆さん, good news: our host found the cause and implemented a workaround. It was an error in the KeyCAPTCHA MediaWiki extension. KeyCAPTCHA triggers a captcha for new users on pages that have external links on them. Can you please try if your editing problem is now gone? --Spankart (talk) 18:47, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Hello Spankart! I have good news too: it works perfectly now! 豆 (talk) 20:41, 20 April 2017 (UTC)

Wonderful, I'm really glad. :D --Spankart (talk) 16:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)

Halloween

There is a ton of fetish art, vintage-to-modern photos, and videos based on Halloween. Can't believe there is still no page for this holiday. (There are even some fetish videos for Thanksgiving.) If a page gets set up, I can supply lists of videos and various image links. -- Jameslovebirch (talk) 15:10, 1 November 2016 (UTC)

Help

Qqll cant make updates since over a year. This is written from another country. In Sweden it just says "page can not be found". Even here I can not sign this properly. Long to be active here again. /Qqll

Hi there, Qqll, and sorry for your troubles. I'll try to help if I can get to understand what is your exact issue. First, can you make sure you are on the right URL, that is, http://spankingart.org/wiki/Main_Page, because sometimes we used to get problems with the URL http://www.spankingart.org/. What happens when you try to log in with your username and password? And when/where exactly do you see the error message "page can not be found"? --Spankart (talk) 17:15, 24 June 2017 (UTC)

Wow, look at this. Maybe I've just tried to use the wrong URL. For a year...? Maybe, maybe not. Let's hope that was the issue. The message "page can not be found" have been occurring every single time I've tried to "save page". Let's hope we solved the big issue now. I'm a very active writer on fictionpress now and if you ask me I think I've improved my English quite a bit the latest years. I hope I can be a better contributer to the wiki from now.

By the way, what do you think would be the criteria for a spanking story/series to have an article on it's own? --Qqll (talk) 10:23, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

I been working mostly, if you can write something interesting to say about it in a synopsis without giving away all the details, or you can saying about it in relation to another work like derivative works then it good have it own article. —  Roguebfl   talk    contribs    email   21:36, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

Yes, we have no hard inclusion criteria, so if you can write something interesting in an own article about a spanking story or series, please do so. You can take inspiration from the existing articles we have on Category:Stories and Category:Novels. Let me know with details if your page saving issue still occurs. --Spankart (talk) 20:36, 29 June 2017 (UTC)

The Ghidrah, novels, projects, etc

I first stumbled across your entry about us, http://www.spankingart.org/wiki/The_Ghidrah a few years ago. Been meaning to get an account just to thank you!

So, thanks!

Having said that, we have some other projects I'd love to see listed here on the wiki as well. Spacey and I have been recording a podcast, The Big Little Podcast, for five years now. https://www.biglittlepodcast.com Also, I released a second novel, Concerning Littleton a few years ago. https://www.amazon.com/Concerning-Littleton-Mako-Allen-ebook/dp/B00JMNLLCC

Thanks! --mako

Hi Mako, thanks a lot for your message -- my pleasure. :) The best way would be if you could write new pages (or new paragraphs on The Ghidrah) on these other projects yourself, since you know best what is to be said about them. Would you be able to do that? I'll be happy to help with the formatting, if you could start and supply the text. Spanking Art:Welcome and Help:Contents has basic help to get you started. --Spankart (talk) 18:52, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
