British Rail Class 720

Hi Superalbs. I saw that you changed the seating manufacturer on the British Rail Class 720 page to Fisa with this edit. Kiel is a city, yes, but also a seating manufacturer- you can find their website here and the October 2017 edition of Modern Railways definitely says the seats are made by Kiel rather than Fisa. Thanks, jcc (tea and biscuits) 16:39, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Oh yes, you are right. My bad. I, for whatever reason, assumed that that page was one of the GA Stadler FLIRT pages, which of course as shown here are indeed made by Fisa. Do you know exactly which Kiel product it is? At a guess I would say the 'TREND' family.

Thanks. Superalbs (talk) 17:48, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, not a clue- but at a quick glance it doesn't really look like any of them! jcc (tea and biscuits) 17:50, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, instead of making a whole bunch of edits like this, you could have achieved the same result by making a single edit to Template:National Rail lines/branches. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:29, 21 March 2018 (UTC)

Well that's certainly useful. Thanks. Superalbs (talk) 00:34, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Reverting Northernrailwaysfan's edits

You may be blocked from editing if you revert my edits to any pages again. Once more and you're blocked from editing. Copyright Northernrailwaysfan 2020 Northernrailwaysfan (talk) 15:37, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

(talk page watcher) @Northernrailwaysfan: See the notice that you are shown when you make any edit, also WP:OWN. Also, you cannot block anybody, since you are not an administrator. On the matter of copyright, this message (also shown to you when editing) means that you cannot impose a copyright that is any stricter than CC BY-SA 3.0. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:09, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

@Northernrailwaysfan: Uh, I very much doubt that will be happening. Superalbs (talk) 22:03, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Hi Superalbs, do you have any evidence that Northernrailwaysfan's photos are stolen? I'm a Commons admin, and while I have nominated several for deletion on grounds of poor quality, I would like to know why you think they're not own work. -mattbuck (Talk) 22:39, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

Hi there, a few quick looks has given the following results.

These two items c:File:Southern_Railway_Class_171_at_Buxted,_Tuesday_6th_October_2015.png and c:File:Southern_Railway_Class_171_arriving_at_Uckfield,_Tuesday_6th_October_2015.png are both stills from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLLtdRrkTtI

This item c:File:Elizabeth_Line_and_Crossrail_Aventra_on_test_at_Reading.png is a still from this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZ8TW1sVexw

This c:File:Tfl_Rail_360_205_next_to_a_GWR_Class_387_at_Ealing_Broadway.png is obviously from someone's YouTube video because it still has the Subscribe button in the corner. On further searching, I found this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU6Q5aPSr5w.

This c:File:The_interior_of_a_TfL_Rail_Class_360-2.png is possibly from this YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqBTkmuHEbU), but I can't pinpoint a specific video for it.

These two c:File:The_Standard_Class_interior_of_a_Class_350-1.png and c:File:The_interior_of_First_Class_aboard_a_Class_350-1.png are from this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJrXlOxG_JU. The first class one is even the thumbnail for the video https://i1.ytimg.com/vi/dJrXlOxG_JU/hqdefault.

So it seems quite a lot of this stuff is stolen. As for the 323 images (most recent two at the time of writing), the external shot is described as the wrong location (you would think a photographer would know where they took one of their most recent photos). A friend also tells me that the two photos were taken by their friend (and not Northernrailwaysfan), but I am awaiting the original post of that for proof. Superalbs (talk) 23:45, 6 November 2019 (UTC)

For clear copyright cases, {{Copyvio}} may be used on the Commons file description page, make sure that you fill in the first parameter. For other cases, look in the left sidebar of the Commons file description pages, and under the "Tools" heading there should be an item named "Nominate for deletion". You may use that; it starts up a script where all you need do is fill in a form and save (by clicking the Proceed button), it handles everything else for you. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 08:33, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

I recently started a mass deletion request on Commons for his blatant screenshotting of other people's YouTube videos and uploading them as his own. See here c:Commons:Deletion_requests/Files_uploaded_by_User:Northernrailwaysfan. I didn't realise this had already been raised before. Seems to be blatant dishonesty. Other editors may wish to add their evidence to the deletion request. ElshadK (talk) 17:02, 7 November 2019 (UTC)

Not really sure what's to be done about the same user doing the reverse, and taking photos from Wikipedia then taking credit for them elsewhere.

Hi superalbs, thanks for your interior image of a refurbished 333. Pepper Gaming (Harvey B on Rail Forums)(talk) 02:36, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

Happy to help. Over the coming weeks, I have oodles of images to upload, finally getting round to checking out my photos. Let me know if there's any other images you are looking for, I might be able to help. Superalbs (talk) 16:58, 30 March 2020 (UTC)

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you disrupt Wikipedia. –Davey2010^Talk 21:39, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Which talkpage? These apalling diagrams are popping up everywhere, so do you want hundreds of different talk page iterations or what? Superalbs (talk) 21:41, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

• Haha no that really would take forever, You can go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Trains and seek a wider a consensus, Thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:44, 4 April 2020 (UTC)

Okay, will do. By the way, not all of the edits you are reverting are related to the diagrams, and as such it would be appreciated if those were not unduely undone. Thanks! :)

Many thanks, My apologies for those those shouldn't of been reverted, Apologies for also using rollback on you but I wanted to revert back before others edited the page, FWIW the diagrams are a much debated subject and to my knowledge these remain however consensus can and does change, Many thanks, –Davey2010^Talk 21:49, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
