The Ip claimed to not be an involved party, Lightbreather was involved and continued that involvement despite being advised of WP:SCRUTINY violation of the sockpuppetry. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 00:08, 1 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I didn't see a diff to that effect. I'm not sure that it would change my viewpoint. If Lightbreather wanted to contribute to the discussion without reactivating old animosities then admitting to being involved would have lead to a succession of guessing games. I am aware I have a more relaxed attitude to users editing logged out and socking than many, it is predicated on the results of the practice, rather than moral outrage that folk should hide their identities.

Template syntax

edit

Your edit to {{Canadian election result/top}} earlier today has broken the template, because the templates are now generating redlinked titles with an extraneous space in an inappropriate place (i.e. Canadian federal election , 2011) instead of the titles they're supposed to be generating (i.e. Canadian federal election, 2011). I'm not an expert in template coding, and don't know what to fix — so you need to fix this as soon as possible, because it can't be left as is. Thanks.

Automated renaming of pages in dated series

edit

Hi Rich,

There is a little job for WMUK that could do with someone who is familiar with bots. I am sure they'd appreciate it if you could help out.

Have a look at wmuk:Volunteer jobs#Automated renaming of pages in dated series.

Arbitration amendment request

Hi Rich, just letting you know that I've archived the amendment request you filed as declined. Regards, Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 07:40, 4 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Callanecc: I had not finished discussing this matter. Sure it's like talking to a brick wall, but I see no other option. All the best: Rich Farmbrough12:59, 4 December 2014 (UTC).

Orphaned non-free image File:T10LSboxset1989.jpg

edit
 

Thanks for uploading File:T10LSboxset1989.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:08, 5 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

@Stefan2: The page was redirected to a list. The appropriate details should be added to the list and the image used to illustrate it. All the best: Rich Farmbrough00:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC).

Register article on Jimbo's talk

edit

Orlowski is not all that wrong. See [1] – the Foundation is richer than ever, yet the fundraising banners make it sound like they're down to their last penny. Have a look at [2], [3], [4], [5] and other posts in that thread. There are far more people perturbed by this than just Orlowski. Best, Andreas JN466 12:27, 5 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

I didn't argue that he was totally wrong. I have some concerns of my own. He has however so consistently written against Wikipedia that he has little credibility. Even people with little credibility are not wrong all the time, nor are the most outlandish arguments often without a grain of truth in one of their assumptions. That does not mean they are worth wasting time over. All the best: Rich Farmbrough13:16, 5 December 2014 (UTC).

Proposed deletion of Phyll Opoku-Gyimah

edit
 

The article Phyll Opoku-Gyimah has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

no actual evidence for notability

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Syrian civil war map

edit

Hi, please do NOT try to improve the Syrian civil war page.
The navbar which you removed is absolutely essential to edit the map. I reverted your last edit.
I know you are trying to help, but Jackmcbarn who converted the previous template to a scribunto module knew what he was doing, and it works quite well, considering the size of the page.
Thanks. André437 (talk) 22:06, 9 December 2014 (UTC)Reply

Indeed. Although it looks out of place, it actually does belong there. Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:21, 9 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
I realised, and have changed it so that it doesn't say "This box". You could perhaps set it to "This map".... I was mislead because the talk link took me to the talk page of the article (it was, of course, via a redirect). @Jackmcbarn: I pinged you on this matter over at VP(T).

Musée des beaux-arts de Quimper listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Musée des beaux-arts de Quimper.

Media viewer RFC close

edit

With regard to this comment, it took me about 30 hours in total to close the RFC (I archived it only 8 hours before my effective closure, but I had started reviewing it long before), and my closing statement was one of the longest on the record, so I do not believe that I have been hasty or that I lacked diligence in closing this RFC that had been overdue for weeks.

Murder of Kylie Maybury

edit

Can you give Murder of Kylie Maybury a general look over? Also, I just added this in brackets - "a little girl's handbag like Maybury had is not the same as the type used by adult women", but now it looks unweildly and awkward. Can you fix it. I know what I'm trying to say with that addition but i don't know how to fix it. Maybe a footnote or NB note would work - but i don't know how to create those :( Paul Austin (talk) 17:53, 24 December 2014 (UTC)Reply
