The comment was actually directed to the delete !vote right above me, not your nomination. The comment was "delete or actually write an article; it's only ONE sentence." That rationale is that there is a minimum amount of content that must be written in order to pass notability guidelines. Anything less than that should be deleted which is not the case.--CNMall41 (talk) 20:13, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ah in that case I apologize and will amend it but to be fair you never stated that, Usually most "AFD is not cleanup" !votes are 98% for the nominator which is why I obviously assumed you meant me, Thanks, –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 20:46, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- No biggie. Just wanted to let you know I had no problem with your nomination. That's what consensus is. I just get frustrated when I see votes such as that with no policy based reason for keeping or deleting. Thanks again and enjoy your New Year!--CNMall41 (talk) 22:48, 2 January 2016 (UTC)
- CNMall41 - Oh right sorry, I mean considering an editor directly above provided sources it seems rather stupid to !vote delete based on the fact it's a one liner as as now there were sources the !delete editor could've done something worthwhile like improve the sodding thing and then !vote Keep!..... But all of that involved common sense which they obviously was lacking!, Sorry ranting away here , Anyway thanks for your message and wishes - I hope you had a lovely Crimbo and I hope you have an epic New Year :) –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 00:01, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

New Girl
The outcome of the RfC was clear: per Template:Infobox television: "Reliable source required". Throwing in numbers without citation either in the infobox or article body is OR, and your edit goes again both the RfC and Wikipedia policy. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:05, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- Tenebrae - I disagree entirely with the RFC - By that logic everything should be sourced or removed from the infobox..... Could you explain how on earth you can cite runtimes as from where I'm sitting there's no sources except tv listings....., Seriously take a step back and ask yourself is this really worth the fuss I mean really ? .....,I'm not gonna edit war as I've said my peace there and here - I just 100% disagree with it and quite honestly it's ridiculous. –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 16:09, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- We can disagree all we want, but that doesn't mean we can ignore a consensus decision. And I'm not sure why it's ridiculous to have runtimes for TV shows when we have them for movies and music recordings, but I'm not going to reargue a settled RfC. You want to edit against RfC consensus, fine. But I've contacted the closing admin and asked him to come to Talk:New Girl to help uphold consensus.
- And as I've said on that page, unless we're making numbers up, then why wouldn't we want to cite runtimes? If you don't have a source, then it's your personal guess, and that's OR. --Tenebrae (talk) 16:13, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- I wouldn't call it consensus as such - Some said yay and some said nay, and the closing admin closed it whilst looking at the sky obviously , Did you have too ? ... That's just adding fuel to the fire isn't it ?, I'm like you I believe most things should be sourced but not every minor detail .... –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 16:50, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- @Davey2010: As Tenebrae has made 4 reverts I've opened a report at WP:AN3. The relevant discussion is User:Tenebrae reported by User:AussieLegend (Result: ). I've provided links to comments made by the RfC closer, including the RfC closing statement and his clarification that
The RfC close has nothing to say about whether running times from reliable independent sources have to be cited inline in infoboxes, or whether citation from a source linked within the body is acceptable
.[1] --AussieLegend (✉) 17:10, 4 January 2016 (UTC)- Ah thanks AussieLegend, I never even realized they were doing this everywhere, Just assumed it was this one article, As I said on the TP maybe another RFC should take place ?, Cheers, –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 17:16, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
- That's what the closer recommended, but it never happened. --AussieLegend (✉) 17:21, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

Ironically, the IP's edits at New Girl are technically correct. If you look at the page in the citation that I added you will see that Season 4 episode 6 is 24 minutes long. If you look on the page above the episode list you will see a button on the left marked "Season 4". Clicking that reveals a drop-down box that allows you to select different seasons. If you select season 1, you'll see that episodes 1,2,3,6,13 and 19 are all 21 minutes long, so "21-24 minutes", which is what the IP originally added, is the actual runtime. --AussieLegend (✉) 06:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Morning AussieLegend, Have just this minute woke up, I had looked at the source yesterday and all eps were saying 22 minutes but I'm assuming I wasn't looking hard enough, Hang on I'll recheck, –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 09:11, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Ah my bad as you say 24 minutes is there, I just assumed the IP wasn't a happy bunny about it being one number, Thanks for amending it, You'd really think Tenebrae would have better shit to do!. –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 09:28, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, learning English would be a good idea for some people. --AussieLegend (✉) 14:52, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- You've lost me? .... ––Davey2010Talk 15:00, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- AussieLegend - Ah bollocks sorry I didn't realize the template didn't work - "Some people" should've linked to "T"s name!, My English is absolutely fine tho ? ... Well if it's readable then I'm doing something right , Oi you know I love you man! . ––Davey2010Talk 15:10, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- No, your English is fine. I've emailed you with a deeper explanation. --AussieLegend (✉) 15:43, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- Just read it sorry, Until now I never realized it said their name and "some other people" so I could understand if you was pissed off with me there, Right I'll shut the hell up before I confuse you even more , Again sorry for the rather stupid error!, Thanks and Happy editing. –Davey2010Talk 15:52, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- You do realise that the only people who don't make errors are dead people, don't you? Therefore, according to my impeccable logic, the more errors you make, the more alive you are. --AussieLegend (✉) 16:20, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Because I find the username to be gross and disgusting (as already pointed out to you) and an embarrassment for Wikipedia. That you do not reflects your low standards. Your inane objections have made it that much harder for me to get this worthless userpage removed. Quis separabit? 16:03, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- Dude the editor hasn't fucking edited since 2008 and his userpage/talkpage contains no vandalism (Unless you're offended by a smiley face!)..... So tagging his pages are moronic, pointless and not to mention a waste of time!, I agree the name's offensive but if they've not edited since 2008 then what is the point of blocking now ? ..... Do us both a favour drop the stick and concentrate on editing the encyclopedia like everyone else. –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 16:09, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
- "I have to ask this [email protected] how on earth did you even find the name ? ... Was you looking for everything that had the name "Menstrual" 'cos if you were ... that's pretty weird!. Ah well may aswell be closed now."
- Since you have made this personal, I would just direct you here, in case you did not read my last reply to you there. And before you ask, yes I am very proud of having shut down these two usernames -- Menstrual and Dear Diarrhœa -- as well. Quis separabit? 16:30, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- [email protected] - Nope I'll admit I shouldn't of ever made that comment, It was just weird how you found it but after now reading your reply it all makes sense, The comment was more or less me having a bit of a laugh and wasn't meant as a personal attack but regardless of that I apologize for making that comment in the first place, I occasionally lurk "a certain website so as you can imagine I've seen and heard far worse which is maybe why I didn't seem fussed about the name, Meh I guess we're all offended by different things (For instance I find this image very niiiiiice but someone in the world was actually offended by that image so as I said we're all offended differently I guess), Anyway it's all in the past :), Onwards & Upwards as they say :) –Davey2010 Merry Xmas / Happy New Year 17:07, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Could you reopen this? If it were just a discussion of keep or delete, I think the close would be appropriate, but there's discussion of redirecting it to a couple of places.

Hey Davey: Just in case you're not aware of it, your signature does not have any links in it when posted on pages. North America1000 10:17, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- Northamerica1000 - Oh shit ... It's because I've copied off User:Davey2010/signatures and wasn't aware they wasn't linked ... Well damnit , Had you not spotted it It would've been like that forever!
, Thanks so much! :) –Davey2010Talk 13:44, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

- What are you Bollocksing about ? , Probably talks a whole load of trash too!
, Haha no worries - It easily relates to me lol, I actually nearly supported the Miss Earth thing too but that was purely because of that image ... but not everyone likes my WP:HOTTIE (yet to be created!) !votes so I had to Oppose :( –Davey2010Talk 15:50, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
- I think images at TAFINOM helps to make the page more fun or interesting for people. Otherwise, it's just another boring board page. If I were to nominate Shit, I'd skip the image, though. North America1000 15:53, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

- Exactly it brightens the board up in more ways than one , Haha probably a good idea although I'm sure those who enjoy Coprophilia probably wouldn't be best pleased! .... ,
- Don't you dare add HOTTIE there! , I follow IAR anyway so If It got added I would just imagine that page doesn't exist .... It's worked for everything else here so far , Wow that's a good section there - See what would we do without you ... :) –Davey2010Talk 16:10, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Hullaballoo Wolfowitz
Hi!
In response to Hullaballoo Wolfowitz, this editor has reverted an edit I made which I believe was in full adherence to both WP:BLP and WP:SPS. In this particular case an actress stated on her Twitter page that she had retired. The post did not mention anyone else except her. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz deleted this info along with with other contributions, which I in hindsight realise did not fully adhere to WP:SPS as some other Twitter comments inserted in other places of the article involved other people. The relevant piece of information, however, was thrown out "with the bathwater" so to speak. Despite repeated attempts of reaching out to him on his talk page for clarifications in a civil and polite manner, Hullaballoo Wolfowitz not only refuses to answer, but incessantly carries an rude and insulting tone while also deleting my request for clarifications. If one agrees to be an editor, shouldn't one also be responsibility for motivating one's decisions as well as conducting oneself professionally in a civil manner? i don't think it's too much to ask for, is it?Holanthony (talk) 00:38, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
- (Ah I HW beat me to reverting you by a mere second - Had I known HW beaten me to it I wouldn't of left the message), Anyway If you have an issue with him then take it to the WP:Great Dismal Swamp - Sorry that's the best advice I can give, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 02:37, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

Could you provide a rationale for your close at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bear Transit? It seems like most of the keep !votes are of the ITEXISTS variety. Thanks --Regards, James(talk/contribs) 20:27, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, I don't have a rationale at all .... I simply noticed it was up for 3 weeks and assumed A.) another relist would only gain more keeps and B.) You wouldn't notice the close .... Would you like it relisted/reopened ? . –Davey2010Talk 20:52, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Up to you, but in my opinion your early closures are generally a good thing, and in many cases could be done even earlier but for silly rules. Too many articles get nominated which are obviously notable and keeps but end up there being the subject of petty disputes. Anything which reduces the time wasting is a good thing, and i've noticed your name on numerous occasions being one of the most positive aspects of AFD. So don't let them deter you, but as some of them say, remain ""Sybil" ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:34, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Davey, I can't help thinking you have stumbled across User:Beeblebrox/fuck off or Eric Corbett's talk page and thought "ooh great, I'm going to tell admins to **** off now!" I sincerely hope that's not the case as that's a terrible idea that will get you enemies fast. Stick to articles. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 10:05, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

I have blocked you for a week. Hours after the discussion at ANI was closed, hours after you said there "The AFDs - I'll try not to close them so early - I'll probably take a step back for a while", what do you do? Close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IMERICA after 5 days and 5 hours, and close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Emily Vanderbilt Sloane after 5 days and 1 hour. Please reread the discussion and the closure, and your own comments, and Wikipedia:Deletion process and WP:NotEarly. Fram (talk) 09:09, 27 January 2016 (UTC)  Davey2010 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Hi Fram, I assumed closing 2 obvious ones wouldn't really matter but in hindsight it was an extremely bad move and for that I sincerely apologize (It was never ever my intention to be disruptive here and I honestly assumed closing the obvious ones honestly wouldn't matter but I admit after yesterday It was completely wrong for me to have closed any and I genuinely promise not to close any AFDs before 7 days), Accept reason: No reason to keep the block in place if the problematic behaviour stops. Please be aware that if you would return to closing AfDs early, a next block may be considerably longer and harder to get lifted. Fram (talk) 13:55, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

- Thanks NinjaRobotPirate that really does mean alot so thank you :), It's just a shame that now I'm banned from closing early it means everything has to drag on and be relisted to death just for the sake of policy, Well the WP:IAR part didn't last very long!, Anyway thanks for the barnstar :), –Davey2010Talk 23:50, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Clock
November 23, 2024 Current UTC time and date ()

Wazzup Davey? Per your comments at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion § Closures, an easy way to determine UTC time is to use a clock. I use the one at right on my user page. To see the most recent time post, purge the clock by selecting "refresh" on it. You have to convert the 12h format to 24h format, though. Hope this helps. "We are always running for the threele of it, threele of it..." North America1000 17:53, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
- Wazzzzup Northamerica1000!, How you doing today me ol' mucker ?, Ah that's a great idea ... At the moment I tend to use the laptop clock so I guess a clock here is better, I can honestly say life was so much much simpler when I closing a day early! , Having to close near to a nominators timestamp isn't the easiest thing in the world especially when you see one's you think are fine to close, ... Ah the joys!, Anyway thanks for the little tip - Very much appreciated :) –Davey2010Talk 18:03, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Live clock
I have recycled a three-month-old script that automatically shows the UTC time on top of every AfD page:
function pad(n) {
if (n < 10) {
var s = "0" + n;
return s;
}
return n;
}
if ((window.location.href).indexOf("Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion") > -1) {
$("#p-personal ul").append('<li id=\"autotime\"></li>');
setInterval(function() {
var date = new Date();
$('#autotime').text(date.getUTCFullYear() + "-" + pad(date.getUTCMonth() + 1) + "-" + pad(date.getUTCDate()) + " " + date.getUTCHours() + ":" + pad(date.getUTCMinutes()) + ":" + pad(date.getUTCSeconds()));
}, 1000);
}

- Hi SSTflyer - I know it's all confusing but all AFDs need to run for the full seven days .... so basically they shouldn't be closed on the seventh day .... Instead they should be closed on the eighth day .... Does that make sense ? ...,
- So if today was the 27th Jan then the 19th log only needs closing, 28th jan is 20th, 29th jan is 20th etc etc

- If I'm updating all or converting all dates to a specific format then the template gets updated, It does say on the template "The month and year that the article was last checked for inconsistent date formatting. Example: 'June 2013'" so I guess really it doesn't need changing but If you have an issue you'd need to speak to the script owner, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 06:45, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Tidy up
I undid most of your "tidying" because it contradicts citation style. The |website parameter is functionaliy identical to |work, which designates the title of the work cited, and renders it in italics to comply with style guides for titles of works. The publisher of the work is not the work per se, but the company that publishes it; the publisher of the work BBC News is the BBC. BBC News is not the publisher.

Note: I've placed (or am in the process of placing) this notification on the talk page of anyone who took part in the original deletion discussion, as the most recent similar discussion, regardless of deletion preference, which is allowable under WP:CANVASS. The only exception being if that person has already contributed, or has indicated on their profile that they are inactive.
Thanks for your time. Jeni (talk) 16:57, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up Jeni :), Much appreciated :), –Davey2010Talk 17:45, 18 February 2016 (UTC)
Inrethis diff
There is an editor who thinks your "keep" was not serious and was instead a joke intended to indicate delete. Might you care to return and clarify? Thanks. Schmidt, Michael Q. 22:21, 21 February 2016 (UTC).
- Clarified .... Well actually I've probably caused more confusion than before but whatever , Cheers for the heads up. –Davey2010Talk 22:46, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peters Township Middle School
Hi Davey 2010. Just a couple of questions about the post AfD cleanup for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peters Township Middle School. How should the wikilink for the school in Peters Township School District#Middle school be handled now that Peters Township Middle School redirects to that particular section of the school district's article? Should it be de-wikilinked? -- Marchjuly (talk) 04:26, 2 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Marchjuly, Yep if an article is redirected to a section where it's wikilinked then it should be delinked... otherwise you'll be going in circles lol :) Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 04:36, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Wiki Loves Nigeria Writing Contest
Hi Dave,
Thanks for all your contributions to Wikipedia. I will be glad if you can serve in the Jury for Wiki Loves Nigeria Writing Contest. Please, let me know what you think. Thanks. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 14:01, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Olatunde, Sorry for the extremely delayed reply - The Echo system is completely useless as always!,
- Anyway thanks for invitation - that's really nice of you ... but unfortunately I've never written an article in my life so I can't really judge someone elses work when I've not done any myself if that makes sense, Plus my grammer & punctuation isn't great so IMHO in the nicest way I'd probably be more of a hinderance than a help so I'm afraid I'll have to decline,
- Thanks for the invite tho and I wish you all the best with your new Wikiproject :), –Davey2010Talk 23:20, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from churning the whitespace
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
This is purely my personal opinion, not official WP policy or guideline or even an essay—but speaking strictly personally, I would like to ask you to refrain from edits that do not affect the rendered text, such as this edit that you made to Windows 7 .
Specifics:
- It is a habit with many to hit the space bar at least once after every period, even if the period is at the end of a paragraph. There is no effect on the rendered text, so no reason to remove it.
- In headings such as == Text == , it doesn't matter whether there are spaces between the equal signs and the heading text. The spaces don't affect the rendered text.
Note that if a particular style of using whitespace or newlines or etc. in the wikitext is considered an "optional style", then changing them purely for personal preference is contrary to an Arbcom ruling.
I'm not reverting these changes (although as I work on the article in the future it may well be "migrated" back to my preferred style) and I certainly am not going to bring any "cases" anywhere. The reason I'm leaving you this note is to ask you to consider: While such edits do not affect the text seen by the reader, they do increase editor workload. They complicate the editing history of the article and make diffs between versions more time-consuming to go through. Many of these changes, particularly removal or addition of individual spaces, can be difficult to see and evaluate in the diffs display. This can sometimes cause a lot of wasted time and effort for later editors trying to figure out what a previous edit has done.
All because of edits that do not improve the article for the reader, not in the slightest detail.
Thank you for considering this suggestion. I realize you are acting in good faith to improve the encyclopedia as you see it, but please consider that you are making unnecessary work for those who follow you. Jeh (talk) 17:19, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- There's no need for whitespaces on any article... and I tidy the headers as yeah it does look tidier and as far as I'm aware is generally preferred over == X == , I disagree they don't complicate anything whatsoever - Infact the removal of whitespaces and the header tidying is actually helpful here and IMHO I do believe I'm improving the encyclopedia although not much (Compared to content creators etc I barely do fuck all but I like to think my edits here are actually helpful to everyone even if it's minimal help).... So I'll carry on but thanks for your opinion/suggestion. –Davey2010Talk 17:55, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I agree with Jeh. As I understand it, Rich Farmbrough was sanctioned for annoying editors by making such content-free edits and so doing this may be perilous. Andrew D. (talk) 18:41, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- I've been doing these edits for well over a year and not one person's ever had an issue so clearly it doesn't annoy anyone and unlike Richards edits these aren't controversial nor annoying!. –Davey2010Talk 18:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- My impression is that Davey is being told that such edits are annoying. This has not bothered me directly – I just happened to see this conversation on my watchlist. My point in commenting is to warn Davey that he risks getting the same treatment as Rich. I'm not familiar with the exact details though so it may be helpful to have him explain. Andrew D. (talk) 18:53, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- These are the least annoying edits anyone can ever make and out of the 500000 of these edits ever made only one person apparently has an issue with it so therefore my edits aren't annoying to most and my impression is they're more helpful than a hinderance (If people legit had an issue I'm sure they would've said something much sooner and it certainly would've been more than one person!. There's absolutely no risks with my edits as I'm not changing ENGVAR .... I'm removing whitespace/tidying headers .... hardly worth the fuss and drama over!. –Davey2010Talk 19:04, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
- Andrew D. I would be very careful in ascribing the reasons for sanctions unless you are in possession of all the facts.
- However I would advise Davey that making edits which do not change the rendered article does risk attracting unwelcome consequences. I am glad that you have not been in any conflict over this to date, that is not a guarantee for the future.
- I've been doing these edits for well over a year and not one person's ever had an issue so clearly it doesn't annoy anyone and unlike Richards edits these aren't controversial nor annoying!. –Davey2010Talk 18:45, 18 March 2016 (UTC)

a loon
I think it was a reasonable concern to raise. The article creator has a username that indicates a strong identification with Christianity and a user page and contributions almost entirely about Christian music. The editor who pinged other editors also has a userbox identifying them as Christian, and the list of people pinged includes a user whose username is literally a sentence about loving Christian music and several other editors who have userboxes identifying them as Christian. Seriously, you call that being a loon? I made every effort to be civil about voicing my concern and made no accusations of ill intent, and in fact several times made clear that I was NOT intending to make such accusations. Given that help is needed at AfD, why would you want to be incivil to someone who is trying to help? valereee (talk) 09:32, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
- Valereee - You said and I quote "I'm a little concerned that everyone pinged to this article seem to be members of the Christian music project - To me you're saying you believe every !voter above you was a member all because they !voted Keep? .... or am I missing something here?, TCB hasn't (as far as I can see) pinged anyone either?, If you don't wanna be called a loon then it's probably a good idea not to act like one isn't it? –Davey2010Talk 16:51, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Clarawood
A tag has been placed on Clarawood requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from the article namespace to a different namespace except the Category, Template, Wikipedia, Help, or Portal namespaces.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Stefan2 (talk) 22:28, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

Fedor Emelianenko
Emelianenko has stated in interviews that he's of Russian ethnicity. I added it to the article, with references. I fail to see how that's "edit warring," or why you tried to revert me? Since when is it not relevant to write ethnicity in the "early life" section?
- Hi, I personally don't care either way but the moment the bloke reverted you you should've gone to the talkpage as per WP:BRD, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:47, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
- The talk page is important, and if there were a place to disagree or argue, I'd go there. However, think about it! Emelianenko has stated that he's of Russian ethnicity, there's nothing to debate, it's a fact. So I added it to the article, with references (numerous references, in fact). The person who reverted me had no reason to revert me! I have no idea who he is, but I make sure that mine are referenced and relevant.
- Have you seen his edit summary when reverting me? "Undo POV pushing edits. This isn't an article about the Ukraine, Russia or politics, it's about an MMA fighter." That doesn't even make sense! I added information that he refused to fight under a Ukrainian flag when making a PRIDE debut. However, that's also a referenced fact, I'm not trying to push a POV there. It's relevant as the organisation had to change the rules for him. And yet he not only removed that, but all of my edits, which included the part about being of Russian ethnicity.
- Sorry I had't actually realized you sourced the info, I'm not sure what his beef is but I've accepted the revision - If he does revert for some stupid reason just go to the talkpage - Ips are't exactly liked here so admins tend to block IPs even if they're right so regardless of whose right or wrong it's probbaly best to go there so you can say atleast you made an effort!, Anyway waffling on...., I've accepted the revision anyway :)
- Thanks & Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 01:09, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi,
- As you're an admin (I haven't realised that), can I ask you to intervene on that article? And to comment on the following two sources:
- I think someone has gotten the impression that I'm the one edit warring, and reverts me without actually trying to understand the situation (he has neither commented on the content nor on the talk page).
- As you're an admin, can I request for your intervention on the article?
- Hi IP, Ah sorry I'm not an admin, I could still give me 2cents but not sure it'd mean much in that respect, I guess you could go through WP:category:List of admins and ask one of them, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:20, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure where the list is so my next best advice is to perhaps go to WP:AN or WP:ANI and ask an admin for help, Sorry I couldn't be much help ,–Davey2010Talk 14:23, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- I think it would definitely help if you commented there, as you saw the thing starting in the first place :-)

Unblock request

Barnstar of good humour! | |
Davey2010 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: Could I be unblocked please?, I promise to edit war more often, be uncivil more often, Call Jimbo a pillock[7] more often and if that doesn't persuade you then I promise to report every editor on the site for no apparent reason.... I'll even take the "Unblocker" to ARBCOM just for unblocking me.... –Davey2010Talk 14:08, 1 April 2016 (UTC) Accept reason: It's a long time since I've seen anything novel for April Fools |
- I'm fully inclined to unblock you, but feel it would only be fair to get input from other editors first. Also you haven't mentioned your lack of vandalism - I feel this needs to be addressed as well. Optimist on the run (talk) 17:43, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Optimist on the run - How can I forget the vandalism, I'll go on a vandalism spree as well, I'll vandalize every article here and then I'll use AWB to create more chaos and once completed that I'll then rollback every editor and admin (including WMF) on the site too, Even reports at VP & ANI .... I'll rollback the lot, I feel my actions above overall are an improvement to the project and would go far as to say I'd be an asset to the project . –Davey2010Talk 18:22, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
- Arr thanks Optimist on the run!, I have to admit I've actually made myself laugh aswell , Well I suppose it's something different .... The only tricky part is that I'll have to come up with something different and better next year , Anyway thanks for the barnstar - Very much appreciated :), Have a great day, –Davey2010Talk 21:57, 1 April 2016 (UTC)

While this may look like an obvious Keep result, none of the editors at the discussion has provided any policy-based rationale that adequately addresses the notability concerns of the article. Of the 4 sources in the article, only 1 source is about the article topic. I would recommend you to revert your closure and relist the discussion. SSTflyer 08:30, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi SSTflyer, To be absolutely honest I'm not sure why I'd closed it as you're right none of the !votes (bar one) seemed to make any sense ...., Anyway have reopened & listed for you :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:33, 4 April 2016 (UTC)
Weronika Rosati
Hi, I am in the process of expanding this article and I desperately need your help. I started to write about a legal case and I find it really difficult to write about this matter, becuase English is not my first language and when it comes to use specialist terminology I struggle, so I hope that you can help me. I have written everything and all I need you to do for me is to read it through and simply correct my mistakes, grammar etc., I'll be grateful. Thanks in advance.
"Esther, one of the characters in Żuławski's book Nocnik, was allegedly based on Rosati and described their intimate relationship. In 2010, the actress filed a lawsuit against Żuławski and the book's publisher, and claimed 200 000 PLN, public apology for the invasion of her privacy and the deprivation of her dignity as a woman, and to stop the violation of her personal rights by withdrawing the book from sale. In February 2014, Żuławski and the book's publisher have been ordered by the district court in Warsaw, to pay 100 000 PLN to Rosati and release a public apology for the possibility of associating the actress with the book's fictional character and therefore assigning her abusive and false features. The defendants launched an appeal, however, in May 2015 they lost the appeal and the verdict from February 2014 has been upheld by the appeal court in Warsaw."

- Hi ArturSik, I should probably admit I'm not perfect with grammar etc, I haven't spotted any mistakes but It's probably best you ask Ritchie333 who knows more about this than me, Sorry I couldn't be of much help, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 03:30, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Article
Hi,
May I ask why you removed the "official site" from an article that was reviewed, and permitted by an Admin? You can't override an Admin's permission, you don't have the authority. Thank you (Mona778 (talk) 01:48, 11 April 2016 (UTC))
Hi Mona778, Sorry what article you talking about ?, I'm currently busy with another article so all over the place now, Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 01:57, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- I've removed her official site as it only includes a massive image of herself and about 4 links to social media sites ..... Kinda pointless to include, The link was probably not checked by any admin and anyone can add and remove a link ... doesn't need to be permitted by any admin, If an admin's unhappy with me removing the useless link I'm sure they'd let me know ..... Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 02:13, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Mona778: My antivirus doesn't like the website, malicious attack warning, though it could be wrong. With two issues being raised now: removing it, at least for the time being, seems to be the best option at this point.—Godsy(TALKCONT) 05:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Godsy - Ah I didn't have any warnings about the site, If it does contain a virus then it obviously shouldn't ever be included (well not until it's removed/fixed anyway), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:23, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Those edits to AnnaSophia Robb
I commented on the IP's talk page here. Next attempt I'm going to request semi-prot and also raise an ANI report for BLP, DIDNTHEAR, and NOTHERE. Jeh (talk) 17:07, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Jeh, Me thinks the article's gonna need protecting as I won't be surprised if they return at some point to revert, I wasn't aware they've vandalized it previously hence the recent comment, Anyway I've given them a final warning which I'm sure will make all the difference!, –Davey2010Talk 17:29, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- Just spotted your edit summary ... and I'm abit lost- Am I supposed to have a plus sign here or somewhere? ... I'm confused ... I know doesn't take alot to confuse me! . –Davey2010Talk 17:36, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- If you look at the tabs above most talk pages (IME) you'll see a tab with a + sign between the "Edit" and "View history" tabs. That's for "start a new section". This may be a setting in your preferences. No biggie.
- Re the IP, the previous attempts make their intentions quite clear, and no amount of wrapping it in "lots of memes said..." is going to erase that. Jeh (talk) 18:09, 12 April 2016 (UTC)
- As far as I can recall I've never seen that so either I've disabled something or you've perhaps enabled something, I have no idea sorry,
- I haven't checked the IPs talkpage until now and didn't even know they'd vandalized the article, I just assumed the meme thing was their first edit, Ah well thanks anyway, –Davey2010Talk 18:40, 12 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi D. I know you are busy editing other things so I wanted to drop this pie off so you can either savor it or use it instead of a trout to slap my with for the total screwup that I made on the talk page earlier today/night. Cheers MarnetteD|Talk 03:36, 13 April 2016 (UTC) |
- Hi Marnette, Arr thank you :), I would never ever trout you .... even if you done something extremely bad ... I still wouldn't :), Thanks for the pie it was lovely :P, –Davey2010Talk 14:08, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

- Hello D. Is there any background on this troll. They are currently IP hopping to changed sourced info on the article Sam & Mark's Big Friday Wind-Up (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 17:01, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi MarnetteD - I have no idea who they are, Since July last year they've been changing the episode summaries on Friday DOwnload to incorrect stuff (IE Marilyn Manson, "Molly Ringwald" etc), I really have no idea how this could be stopped...., Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 17:12, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the update D. I meant to let you know that I have put in a WP:RFPP for this article - and now I have :-) MarnetteD|Talk 17:13, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Forgot to say sorry for the long delay - Was binge-watching IZombie :), Anyway problem is tho is that when that article's protected they'll then change IPs and move to a new article and someone could take their edits as legit .... I'm wondering if somehow blocking their IPs is the best solution here?, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:17, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) No worries at all D. Binge watching should always take precedence :-) I know that range blocks are possible but I don't know the details. Also a list of the IPs is needed to for any admins to determine whether one is feasible. Your vigilance in dealing with this is a boon to WikiP. MarnetteD|Talk 17:33, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Keri RBI is fine as far as it goes. It does not address the situation when the same person editing from a new IP enters fake info in an article that is not on an actives editors whatchlist. MarnetteD|Talk 17:33, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
- Marnette -Haha very true :), Ah right well getting them would be pretty much impossible,
- Keri - That's kinda the point tho .... The moment they're blocked they're back with a new IP .... So It's harder to block and certainly impossible to ignore ... especially when it's been going on for nearly a year but anywho noted. –Davey2010Talk 17:37, 16 April 2016 (UTC)
ScoopWhoop AfD
Wow. That was fast. I think it was clearly headed toward keep, too. I provided my own sources and I !voted that way. But to do a non-admin closure [8] on an AfD that's only been open 13 hours seems unfair to the nom, who might have been given a little more time to retract the nomination on his own, and to be rushing things. An AfD normally goes 7 days. However foregone the outcome, was there some urgency here? I don't think you've done anything clearly wrong, but I think your judgement could have been better. Msnicki (talk) 19:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)

Sidney Sanabria
Hi Dave, you're good? Sidney Sanabria showed up on WP:BADAFD, I removed the {{Afd}} and added an {{Old AfD multi}} to the talk page. If you are using a script to close at AfD you may want to report this case. Best, Sam Sailor Talk! 08:52, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Sam, Yeah not too bad thanks how's you?, I use the AFD script so it obviously should've removed & added them for me, I check the AFDs after every close but never the articles/talkpages as usually an error happens around once a year or every other year so seems stupid to check every single one , Anyway thanks for removing & adding them for me - Much appreciated,
- I've reported the issue here - It could just be the script having a funny 5 minutes..., Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 14:19, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- I believe you are right that User:Mr.Z-man/closeAFD2.js works well most of the time. Personally I usually check that it did what was expected of it. A quicker alternative would be to Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + y to see that the script at least touched both article and article talk, although it's not a 100% guarantee. Personally I have no problem fixing things like this, after all we run around covering each other's back all day here. But we also know that there's the odd wanker who will oppose at RfA for the most silly things. See you around, Sam Sailor Talk! 17:28, 18 April 2016 (UTC)
- Not sure why but Ctrl, Shift & Y doesn't do anything ? ... not entirely sure what it's meant to do lol, This place has gone to shit and it's only getting worse so I don't plan on running for RFA anytime soon, I'll save the rest of my rant for my little head lol, See you around mate, –Davey2010Talk 18:24, 18 April 2016 (UTC)

Gamaliel and others arbitration case opened
You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others. The scope of this case is Gamaliel's recent actions (both administrative and otherwise), especially related to the Signpost April Fools Joke. The case will also examine the conduct of other editors who are directly involved in disputes with Gamaliel. The case is strictly intended to examine user conduct and alleged policy violations and will not examine broader topic areas. The clerks have been instructed to remove evidence which does not meet these requirements. The drafters will add additional parties as required during the case. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Evidence.
Please add your evidence by May 2, 2016, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Gamaliel and others/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. This notification is being sent to those listed on the case notification list. If you do not wish to recieve further notifications, you are welcome to opt-out on that page.

Re: Doombot
You do realize this is inappropriate right? Not the revert itself but the reason for it. AfD is not a redirect/merge discussion. Yamamoto Ichiro (talk) 16:07, 19 April 2016 (UTC)
- Nothing inappropriate about it - You closed the AFD as No Consensus and then redirected it 3-4 hours later even when half of the !votes at the AFD were Merge/Redirect anyway ....., All articles where the nom wants to merge or redirect end up at AFD so it's set in stone if you like, Either way the only inapropriate actions so far are yours .... –Davey2010Talk 16:12, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

- In theory Merges should be discussed on the talkpages however some editors send the article to AFD and suggest Merging which is fine. –Davey2010Talk 16:27, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Editor of the Week : nominations needed!
The Editor of the Week initiative has been recognizing editors since 2013 for their hard work and dedication. Editing Wikipedia can be disheartening and tedious at times; the weekly Editor of the Week award lets its recipients know that their positive behaviour and collaborative spirit is appreciated. The response from the honorees has been enthusiastic and thankful.
The list of nominees is running short, and so new nominations are needed for consideration. Have you come across someone in your editing circle who deserves a pat on the back for improving article prose regularly, making it easier to understand? Or perhaps someone has stepped in to mediate a contentious dispute, and did an excellent job. Do you know someone who hasn't received many accolades and is deserving of greater renown? Is there an editor who does lots of little tasks well, such as cleaning up citations?
Please help us thank editors who display sustained patterns of excellence, working tirelessly in the background out of the spotlight, by submitting your nomination for Editor of the Week today!

File:Galloway logo.png orphaned, to be deleted
File:Galloway logo.png, which you uploaded under a non-free use claim, is no longer used and thus deletable in 7 days. (The standard talkpage template, omitted per your editnotice: Template:di-orphaned fair use-notice.) It's probably not copyrightable in the United States, though, so could be retagged {{PD-ineligible-USonly|United Kingdom}} and retained on that basis, provided there's reason to retain it at all. —Cryptic 02:21, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Cryptic, Ah sorry I meant I don't like these templates - I don't mind those notification-type ones you send :), Ah okay thanks - I feel awful now as I noticed this this morning but assumed it was the standard template which is kinda why I ended up going to Commons etc, Anyway thanks for the personalized message & for the heads up :) –Davey2010Talk 18:47, 30 April 2016 (UTC)

File:Best Of Friends Presenters.jpg listed for discussion
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Best Of Friends Presenters.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 20:55, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Whpq, In layman's terms could you please explain why you've nominated the file ? .... All 3 of the presenters don't have images here so I'm not sure how they can be replaced? ....., thanks, –Davey2010Talk 23:21, 4 May 2016 (UTC)
- The reason I nominated the file is because I believe that it fails to satisfy Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria point 1, "No free equivalent". In particular, this image is an example of unacceptable use as outlined in Wikipedia:Non-free content#Unacceptable use for images example #1, "Pictures of people still alive, groups still active, and buildings still standing". It's not sufficient that a non-free image does not exist or cannot be found. It must also be the case that a non-free image cannot be created. In the case of living people, it is almost always the case that a free image of the living person could possibly be created. I hope that explains why I made the nomination. BTW, a free image does exist for Ortis Deley. See File:Ortis Deley.jpg. Regards. -- Whpq (talk) 13:51, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
- Whpq - So basically what you're saying is there should be individual and free images of the presenters instead of this image ? Sorry I've never understood any of this and am just about getting my head around it all ,
- Thanks for your help so far, –Davey2010Talk 15:16, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Even though the consensus, so far, was pretty heavily "delete", you closed this by moving the article to Manhunt International 2013, which does not solve any of the article's problems. May I ask why? Since the article on Manhunt International says the last competition was in 2012, this article is probably a hoax whether set in 2013 or 2014. ubiquity (talk) 13:55, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Edit conflicts
Marnette is wrong. As I commented at their talk page, my comment was posted well before the close, and caught up in a confict with Ponyo's comment. There's no justification for removing a comment in those circumstances, and it's certainly not policy. My phone rang, I clicked "save page" and answered it, had to deal with some urgent family business, and didn't immediately see the edit conflict. So please restore my comment, which I do intend to refer to in a related discussion, and simplify that one. Also note that Mrnette reoved the relevant comment from their talk page with a rude edit summary. Comments that are lost before a close not only may be reinstated, but should be. (And, according to my phone, the incoming call came about four minutes after Ponyo's edit, nearly an hour before the close. The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo). Treated like dirt by administrators since 2006. (talk) 20:59, 12 May 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry to hear that and I appreciate you're fucked off however it's the way AFD is - I've more than once had edit conflicts with closures but I've shrugged it off & moved on which with the greatest of respect is what you should be doing despite the background to it, As I said if you made it (or edit conflicted with it) 5 minutes after I wouldn't care but 20 minutes is way to long and seeing as It was deleted your !vote wouldn't make a blind bit of difference would it ?, If we allowed everyone to post after AFDs it'd be anarchy and probably extremely confusing!, –Davey2010Talk 21:10, 12 May 2016 (UTC)

Eurovision redirects
Thanks Davey for nominating those ESC redirects that you came across (Esc2001, Esc2003, and Esc2017). I agree that they shouldn't be made and assuming that the creator of them isn't fully aware of the redirect procedures. I also came across more of them, Jesc 2010 and Jesc 2011. I have a feeling there will be more for all ESC, JESC and maybe even the Turkvizyon contests that will need mass RfD-ing. Wes Mouse ✒ 09:50, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Found another one Esc 98. Wes Mouse ✒ 09:51, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Just got in so sorry for the extremely late reply - No worries Wesley Mouse, I think you're right it's just a case of the creator having no idea, I've noticed the JESC ones too but wasn't sure if they're the same as ESC ones ?,
- If they are the same setup then I can move the lot if you want, Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 14:51, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- Ah I didn't search pre 2000 - O'll get around to the lot later, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 14:51, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- I think those are the only ones, to be honest. I looked for more and couldn't find any. Bit strange that that they don't really follow on in chronological order, they're very sporadic. I've not checked for any TSC (Turkvizyon Song Contest) though. But it might be an idea to merge all of the nominations into one, and then if we do find more before the discussion is closed, then they can be added to the list. Wes Mouse ✒ 15:24, 17 May 2016 (UTC)
- I wish they were in order it'd make life easier, I have merged the ESC2001 & 2003 and now the 98 one but What I plan to do is write down all of the JESC (or remaining ESC) ones and then hopefully come Saturday I'll nominate the lot as a bundle ....

As a participant of WikiProject LGBT studies, you are invited to participate in the third annual Wiki Loves Pride campaign, which runs through the month of June. The purpose of the campaign is to create and improve content related to LGBT culture and history. How can you help?
- Create or improve LGBT-related Wikipedia pages and showcase the results of your work here
- Document local LGBT culture and history by taking pictures at pride events and uploading your images to Wikimedia Commons
- Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)
Looking for topics? The Tasks page, which you are welcome to update, offers some ideas and wanted articles.
This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. The group's mission is to develop LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, in all languages. Visit the affiliate's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome! If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's talk page.
Thanks, and happy editing! ---Another Believer (Talk) 19:54, 30 May 2016 (UTC)
File:Boloria selene, Geograph.jpg
Hi Davey2010, why did you decline my rename request and revert my edits on this file? The species identification mistake here is obvious and non-controversial...--LamBoet (talk) 07:36, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hi LamBoet - I apologize as I originally assumed you were a troll/vandalizing so my apologies for that, How do you know the butterfly is a "Argynnis aglaja" and not a "Boloria selene" - Is there any differences between the 2 ?,
- Obviously I have no idea about butterflys so I need to make sure I know what you're suggesting's correct,
- Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 10:32, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- That's OK, if you are not familiar with butterflies, I understand that it is not so obvious. If you want to convince yourself, you can compare this B. selene [9] to this A. aglaja [10]: you will find differences e.g. in general wing shape (more rounded for selene), marginal markings (selene doesn't have a double marginal line) and many other details.
- You would be suprised at the percentage of identification errors among wikimedia.org insect pictures, and this one is just an easy one... --LamBoet (talk) 12:17, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- LamBoet - Oh god that's even more confusing , Well I'm putting all my trust in you being correct so I'm hoping you are but anyway so I'll move it over for you :) –Davey2010Talk 12:22, 1 June 2016 (UTC)
- Good, thanks :) --LamBoet (talk) 12:28, 1 June 2016 (UTC)

An arbitration case regarding Gamaliel and others has now closed and the final decision is viewable at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- Gamaliel is admonished for multiple breaches of Wikipedia policies and guidelines including for disrupting Wikipedia to make a point, removing a speedy deletion notice from a page he created, casting aspersions, and perpetuating what other editors believed to be a BLP violation.
- DHeyward and Gamaliel are indefinitely prohibited from interacting with or discussing each other anywhere on Wikipedia, subject to the usual exemptions.
- DHeyward (talk · contribs) is admonished for engaging in incivility and personal attacks on other editors. He is reminded that all editors are expected to engage respectfully and civilly with each other and to avoid making personal attacks.
- For conduct which was below the standard expected of an administrator — namely making an incivil and inflammatory close summary on ANI, in which he perpetuated the perceived BLP violation and failed to adequately summarise the discussion — JzG is admonished.
- Arkon is reminded that edit warring, even if exempt, is rarely an alternative to discussing the dispute with involved editors, as suggested at WP:CLOSECHALLENGE.
- The community is encouraged to hold an RfC to supplement the existing WP:BLPTALK policy by developing further guidance on managing disputes about material involving living persons when that material appears outside of article space and is not directly related to article-content decisions.
For the Arbitration Committee, Kevin (aka L235 · t · c) via MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 03:38, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

Considering the article went years with just the boxing infobox and considering the section of the manual of style WP:INFOBOXPURPOSE says "The less information it contains, the more effectively it serves that purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance." if anybody needs to try to gain a consensus on regarding that 2nd infobox, its you or whoever initially added it.--Rockchalk717 12:43, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
- Rockchalk717 - Well if that's the case then whoever added it should've got consensus first however I simply saw you removing it stating "it's unneeded" so ofcourse I'm going to revert but anyway to make life a fuckton easier you should get consensus on the TP, I never added it in the first place and I had no idea it was never there for a few years ....., but anyway RFC's the best choice. –Davey2010Talk 14:25, 5 June 2016 (UTC)
- I totally understand no worries. But I agree totally with you on that but since he's died recently there's been a million edits, I don't really feel like combing through all those edits to find who did it and tell them lol.--Rockchalk717 05:35, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
- Saw you added the infobox back. It was added on the 4th so it's only been up for a couple of days, and another editor edit warred with who added it initially. However, with that being said, it doesn't change the fact it is unneeded and that goes against the quote I put in on the original post I made on here because the less information it contains the better and the reason the editor added was to "add more information" therefore it directly violates it.--Rockchalk717 05:51, 6 June 2016 (UTC)

Bundled articles
Hi Dave, you're good? At WP:BADAFD the articles
were listed with links to closed AfD's, as they were bundled at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Speedy (musician). I have removed the AfD template and added {{unreferenced}}, I hope that's fine with you. Sam Sailor Talk! 11:24, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Sam Sailor, Yah I'm good thanks you okay?, Ah I assumed the nominator had removed them upon closing the AFD ? ... Anyways thanks for kindly removing them :), –Davey2010Talk 14:27, 8 June 2016 (UTC)
Vandalism
I do apologize for my lack of understanding re the AFD process. However, warning me for vandalism (when clearly there was no intent to vandalize) is really unfair. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 00:05, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- Sportsfan 1234, I actually clicked disruptive editing but I don't think one for it and it just went with vandalism regardless of what I selected, No worries and I apologize if I came across a bit harsh but with the greatest of respect you wouldn't be happy if after closing 20 odd you then realize there's 60+ more (I didn't have to close them but if I closed 5-15 then I may aswell do the lot), Anyway it's all in the past, New day & all that :) –Davey2010Talk 00:39, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

What do you mean by RM as all non-notable & pr notguide? THEY are notable if you watch the newscast.
Soafy (talk) 22:19, 9 June 2016 (UTC)Soafy
- Notability isn't proven just by them doing their job! - There needs to be reliable sources etc but that aside we're not a directory, There's a policy/guideline somewhere that says something along of the lines of presenters lists are discouraged ... Not sure where it is and I'm currently busy at the moment. –Davey2010Talk 22:26, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- How do we do it and by the way, it is coming off from your Italian wikipedia page of RaiNews24. Soafy (talk) 22:23, 9 June 2016 (UTC)Soafy
- Read WP:CITE etc etc, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:26, 9 June 2016 (UTC)
- You actually made a mistake as I believe the journalists were there before I added in the news anchor a few months ago. Also, does video and/or forums with pictures of the news anchor in the RaiNews24 newsroom count as a source or no? Please response when you have time. Soafy (talk) 21:25, 13 June 2016 (UTC)Soafy
- Hi Soafy, I'm so sorry I'd completely forgot to reply, Unfortunately pictures aren't sources either :(, There needs to be written information saying they're newscaster of RA News 24, If you can't find any written stuff then I'm afraid the list can't be added back, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 22:23, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Do twitter accounts count as sources like this one: https://twitter.com/cacimac and what about this as a source: http://telegiornaliste.freeforumzone.com/discussione.aspx?idd=9854925
- Nope no forums either sorry, If any of the newscasters have tweeted they're at RA 24 then I'd allow that but actual twitter accounts aren't proof sorry –Davey2010Talk 23:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- BTW you don't need to ping me - I get a big yellow bar telling me I have a new message :) –Davey2010Talk 23:27, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
- Nope no forums either sorry, If any of the newscasters have tweeted they're at RA 24 then I'd allow that but actual twitter accounts aren't proof sorry –Davey2010Talk 23:26, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
@Davey2010: How do I even cite them? Could you like show me how? They sources I placed their are reliable. Soafy (talk) 10:45, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Soaf
- Soafy - If you don't know how to cite stuff then it may be a better idea for you to find another hobby, Adding the list back can and will get you blocked, Thanks and happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 13:31, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
- @Davey2010:, So I cited some sources on the Rai News 24 pages of the directors. I was curious if these counts as sources that they work for RaiNews24
- LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/maria-claudia-origlia-72791769)
- Twitter (https://twitter.com/j_alessio)
- Please response when ever you have time. Soafy (talk) 19:08, 16 June 2016 (UTC)Soaf
- Nope sorry, –Davey2010Talk 20:28, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
- So I added in the tweets that they work for RaiNews24 but I am stuck on the title, author, and publisher. Would you please check if I did those part right? I think I messed it up. Soafy (talk) 22:46, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- Soafy - You've done it correctly :) The only bit that didn't need to be added were the authors but apart from you've done it perfectly - Well done! :) –Davey2010Talk 22:54, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
- I am looking at this but is it really a good source? http://www.inforegioni.rai.it/it/credits.php and this http://www.rainews.it/dl/rainews/media/ReadOn-inglese-si-impara-leggendo-9d232e53-27d8-4bff-b331-6149aa06e807.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soafy (talk • contribs) 23:53, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Apparently, reFill caused a rather large edit conflict. It may be wise to wait to fill bare refs until the numbers of editors/edits go down. Cheers! 🖖ATS / Talk 20:40, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hi ATS, Oh christ, Well I'm not sure why the edit conflict page never showed .... I just hit save and it saved .... But ofcourse I won't use it until it's died down but I assumed the edit conflict page would've popped up ? (I've never used refill on a busy page before ... and don't think I will do ever again!), Anyway thanks for the heads up, –Davey2010Talk 20:46, 12 June 2016 (UTC)

Volvo B10M
Hello again sir, I just remembered long ago on the Wikipedia page of SBS Transit the Volvo B10M Mark I Van Houl was featured but was deleted. Hope that you can help! Sbs882y Sbs882y (talk) 01:14, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, As many have been edit warring over it I've removed it all, Sorry dude, –Davey2010Talk 01:41, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
Edit on SBS Transit
Hi, I know there is some edit war going on there, and that the source I provided does not have all the models. I am wondering whether this source is better since it is mostly accurate with the missing models, but people will revert because it is a "blog". http://landtransportguru.net/bus/bus-infrastructure/bus-models/ 33ryantan (talk) 02:07, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
- Hi 33ryantan, Ah that source can't be used as you're right it is a blog, Ummm my best suggestion would be to use Flickr, Technically it's not a source however it proves the bus exists and that it's with SBS .... and you're not going to get much better than that, Some editors may try and remove it tho but it's worth a shot, Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 02:18, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

You have been trouted for: no reason for whatsoever no reason that is non existent that has no validity in the Wikipedia community and is considered humors according to WP:AN/I which is funded by secret administrators working for WP:ARBCOM who want to destroy Wikipedia and want to block IP addresses based on no reason and no logical sense or any justice, de facto vs de jure and this may be considered humors or vandalism.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nathaniel Ru
Really? A NAC of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nathaniel Ru just hours after a relist? Could you please explain? duffbeerforme (talk) 11:32, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Duffbeerforme, When a closer relists an AFD the AFD should then be removed from that log ..... As you can see [[11]] it wasn't & I failed to see the date of the relist, I just saw 3 relists and closed it, I've reopened it again, Thanks for patiently waiting instead of reverting - It's much appreciated :), –Davey2010Talk 15:45, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- That link won't work now but anyway it's been relisted and this time the relist succeeded! , Thanks again for waiting patiently and for your message, Cheers, –Davey2010Talk 15:53, 26 July 2016 (UTC)

Discussion on SCHOOLOUTCOMES and verifiability
Since you commented here, I though I should alert you to this related discussion Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Secondary_schools_and_verifiability started by Cordless Larry and Rebbing. There are similar discussions going on at multiple AfDs so I thought it is better if this is discussed at a central location. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 02:26, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- Ah thanks Lemongirl942), There was also another discussion not long ago on another board somewhere .... might of been Village Pump but not sure, Anyway thanks for letting me know, Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 03:09, 30 July 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) (and Lemongirl942, Let me just take this opportunity to butt in rudely and point out that that discussion was closed nearly four months ago, and like the 20 or so on the same topic over the years, its outcome (pun?) was the same. We all know that OUTCOMES is not an essay, but it is a neutral and accurate documentation of the way we handle things and how school articles benefit from special consideration as stipulated by the Founder, , evidence of 1000s of school articles hat have survived these AfDs (nominated mostly by people who don't know about OUTCOMES anyway), their exemption from A7, and the long vote by DGG, our most knowledgeable admin on notability, on one of these recent school AfDs. I know you all mean well, but having been around as the co-ord of WP:WPSCH for 8 years I'm certain that nothing will change. We obviously however, need to delete the ones that are blatant spam, but those are mainly high street cram schools rather than High schools. I wouldn't really make an issue of it, but over the last two years or so, our entire AfD and NPP systems have degenerated almost to a farce, and we need all the help we can get.
