Hey Nthep,
A user has started demanding an article layout be changed according to his desire against the vote of everyone else who has reverted the changes. It is really odd. I am a new user and have no idea how to handle the situation. And is this type of thing a regular occurrence? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_people_who_have_been_called_a_polymath
I am also updating the page of Patrick M. Byrne which has extremely confusing Talk page requirements. Bhalluka ( talk) 19:03, 9 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi Nthep, Could you help me out with a question I have with regards to why 'File:Penmaen-Bach mountain from Dwygyfylchi road.jpg'. It's a photo of a mountain taken from Google earth- Street cam. The photo in question replaced a previous photo on an article which by the way was also from Google earth- Street cam but the old photo had a side shot of a road sign in it. The new photo is up for deletion but the older photo wasn't deleted (even though that was also from Google earth- Street cam and ahd been there a good while). Any help would be helpful. Thanks. Only Stone tools? ( talk) 13:08, 12 January 2013 (UTC)
Ok. Thanks for the warning. I'm planning to replace the copyright tag under Licensing but unfortunately I don't know how. Could you show me the steps of how to do it or make a link from where the article about it in Wikipedia? I can't find the article of how to change the license anywhere on Wiki. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wethar555 ( talk • contribs) 20:56, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I've been through the 1st/2nd Battalions history for mentions of Stamer, with the following results:
I think that's everything, though the book isn't indexed, so I may have missed something. In particular, I've found no mention of his being awarded his MC (and the book does generally try to record significant decorations): from the details here it looks as if it might have been for his actions in March 1918, but if you're confident it was 1917 perhaps it was when he was attached to Brigade. No photos, I'm afraid (there aren't many in the book: most of the illustrations are uncontextualised and pretty incomprehensible terrain and trench maps). But I hope you can use some of that.

This is to do with a problem with the graph chronology for next UK election. Note: when a small image appears, hover over it with your mouse to read the complete the sentence. Ok, so this page has always had a chart but due to the continuous updates with the addition of new polls the chart needs updating every once in a while. This has meant that there are now an abundance of unwanted/out of date files on wikipedia, which should really belong in the chronology of the . As you can see from the chronology all is well for the chronology of that page until it stops at May 2012, the final update. The next image to be uploaded was a , this chart and the were used simultaneously for a period. That is until the data for 2011 and 2012 was updated to the 30px|talk page to accommodate the new format (due to the addition of UKIP's column). This is a recent occurance. I was the one that uploaded the new data a few days ago, I also created a to see us through until we could get a new version of the favoured chart to cover May 2010-Present Day. A exists, this preceded my chart, it was made in error, I discovered the lines were too thick for interpretation, therefore this image needs to be deleted, as it is in effect a duplicate. I do not know how to delete this image, or suggest deletion, can someone help/delete it for me? I'll see to it that there are comments on that page. Since my chart was uploaded, I have uploaded the data to the talk page, for User:Wavehunter to update the chart that preceded mine to include the data from 2010 and 2011. The reason for this is that Wavehunter's chart was the one that had consensus. In the meantime Impru20 has uploaded . Since then Wavehunter has uploaded his updated chart which is now (by consensus) the . To summarise what I need help with doing/for someone to do for me: All of these listed graphs need to be added to the chronology of the and not be as separate pages. In chronological order the follow should be added to the chronology: Note: Please do not include: the as it is useful on other pages and does not fit in the chronology (as does not include 2010or11! I would really appreciate someone doing this for me, as I am likely to make a mistake with it being multiple edits and my 1st time doing this. Could you also leave a note explaining how to do this for future reference on the talk page for the benefit of myself and future editors. I also want to know how to do this so that I can use my new skill on another page, I have another picture that I need to replace/update but I want to do it properly! So once I know what I'm doing and once someone has done this for me I will be able to see to things like this in the future. Many Thanks Sheffno1gunner ( talk) 21:55, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
This didn't answer my question! I was indeed talking about the 2nd thing you described with thumbnails. Could you please tell me how to link all these images under 1 tittle with one set of thumbnails as you described. All you have done is described back to me what I had described to you, except in better terminology! That was not at all helpful! I will ask this for the 4th time on wiki (in various places) HOW DO I DO THIS? Please cut the crap and just tell me! I'm not studying for a degree in bullsh1t so please spare me the opening lecture! All images apart from the 2012 image need to be included as they replace one another! How do you this? Or could you do it for me? Sheffno1gunner ( talk) 05:44, 20 January 2013 (UTC) |
Just in case you couldn't tell I didn't appreciate having my question kicked into the long grass and having to repost it in the Teahouse again. Had you given a proper answer (instead of merely correcting my terminology) or just not bothered to answer, someone else could have given an answer! If you know the answer please just say it in plain English or at least say something helpful! I really don't see why you bothered typing anything on a question and answer page when you neither a question or an answer! It's very frustrating because your not the 1st to have done this either!

Also, in case you were wondering, we're doing an experiment centered around acknowledgements in the Teahouse. If you see someone doing something awesome, find the Badge that fits best and share it with them. More details are linked on the Badge itself. Cheers!

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited British Legion Volunteer Police Force, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Communique ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello! Since you responded to (this) question by TheUmbrellaAgencyBP ( talk) at the Teahouse, I thought I'd mention a concern I have regarding COI. First of all, the username suggests representation of an agency rather than an individual, and secondly the Umbrella Agency represents the subject of the article. See: [1] - I'm not a Teahouse host (but I play one on TV), so perhaps somebody with experience in this area could provider the user with relevant information about conflict of interest, etc. ~Thanks, ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 ( talk) 19:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi there NtheP. I was actually saving the article on Christopher Slowe when I got an edit conflict with you :) If you read it now (almost finished) I think you will find it's fair bit more in line with what is required. Cheers Ybidzian ( talk) 22:38, 26 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi I suppose I know too much about this as the new book will reveal. The link to the polical situation is far more significant than realised by any other author. It was yet another bad news story for a country in very low morale and political melt down. It was dealt with then as any other bad news story for governments "bury it" and deflect any blame from us. Fortunately they had two easily identified culprits. The wider issues that have remained as classified documents for nearly 100 years tell a different story - and a fascinating one. Look forward to re-writing the entire story on Wiki. GC Jack 15:56, 28 January 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GC Jack ( talk • contribs)

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I removed the CSD tag, as (I think) it's technically an "educational institution". However, I did place a PROD tag on the article. Thanks for new page patrolling. It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 17:23, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Lucas Lagman ( talk) 15:46, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Please take a look if my edit is good enough. Please reply if it is okay in m talk page. Also, if you find any problems in it, please tell me directly. Write the parts of the article in my page. Thanks. As for the potato plant, I've already asked Gabrielle Eck and the others. Well, Gabrielle told me all of the pictures in their website are fine for use in Wikipedia. I already had passed the evidence for that to the mentioned websites in the file if you clicked it. It has two URL addresses. Of course, the images are for Wikipedia only. Also, that image is their specialty crop but do not worry. I'll specify it in the article. I just want you to know, Okray Family Farms is not my first article. It is my fourth article but for some reason I was forced to delete the four articles.

I note that in the past you have modified the Tim Gustard page. It was originally created by a devoted collector and was a bit flowery. Wiki editors cleaned it up satisfactorily until user Filthemill came along. He seems to have and agenda clouded by personal prejudice and insists on deleting and adding derogatory matter in order to belittle, this is not in the spirit of Wikipedia. It would me great if someone like yourself could rebuild the article in the correct format, failing this it would be better to see the article deleted completely.

Hi, I've recently been trying to update the images on the Shadow_Hand page, but don't seem to be able to comply with the guidelines. I first added two images on a non-free license, next in response to feedback that there was no reason that a free image could not be created, I created free versions of the images (I first tried to update the existing images but the copyright section of the page didn't seem to reflect my updates).
I then got another message saying there was no proof that the image was licensed under CC-SA so I used the template to send a consent email (I work for the company that created the images).
Finally all images have been removed, and the free image I uploaded the second time around was tagged with the following:
16:28, 1 March 2013 Diannaa (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Shadow hand and human hand size comparison.jpg (F1: Redundant copy of non-Commons file in the same file format: File:Shadow Robot Hand and Human Hand Size Comparison, Black and White.jpg)
I don't quite understand why they were both deleted, once the original non free version was removed, the second free image was no longer redundant.
Apologies for the long post, if you could help me comply with the regulations in order to get the images up onto the page it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello! Since you responded to (this) question by TheUmbrellaAgencyBP ( talk) at the Teahouse, I thought I'd mention a concern I have regarding COI. First of all, the username suggests representation of an agency rather than an individual, and secondly the Umbrella Agency represents the subject of the article. See: [1] - I'm not a Teahouse host (but I play one on TV), so perhaps somebody with experience in this area could provider the user with relevant information about conflict of interest, etc. ~Thanks, ~Eric F 74.60.29.141 ( talk) 19:31, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi there NtheP. I was actually saving the article on Christopher Slowe when I got an edit conflict with you :) If you read it now (almost finished) I think you will find it's fair bit more in line with what is required. Cheers Ybidzian ( talk) 22:38, 26 January 2013 (UTC)
hi. how can i type sign " ' " like "it's" or "doesn't " ?. -- بیکار ( talk) 17:32, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi I suppose I know too much about this as the new book will reveal. The link to the polical situation is far more significant than realised by any other author. It was yet another bad news story for a country in very low morale and political melt down. It was dealt with then as any other bad news story for governments "bury it" and deflect any blame from us. Fortunately they had two easily identified culprits. The wider issues that have remained as classified documents for nearly 100 years tell a different story - and a fascinating one. Look forward to re-writing the entire story on Wiki. GC Jack 15:56, 28 January 2013 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GC Jack ( talk • contribs)

Since you have stated here I think you want to continue/finish here too! Tito Dutta ( talk) 08:58, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I removed the CSD tag, as (I think) it's technically an "educational institution". However, I did place a PROD tag on the article. Thanks for new page patrolling. It's a Fox! (Talk to me?) 17:23, 1 February 2013 (UTC)
Lucas Lagman ( talk) 15:46, 2 February 2013 (UTC)Please take a look if my edit is good enough. Please reply if it is okay in m talk page. Also, if you find any problems in it, please tell me directly. Write the parts of the article in my page. Thanks. As for the potato plant, I've already asked Gabrielle Eck and the others. Well, Gabrielle told me all of the pictures in their website are fine for use in Wikipedia. I already had passed the evidence for that to the mentioned websites in the file if you clicked it. It has two URL addresses. Of course, the images are for Wikipedia only. Also, that image is their specialty crop but do not worry. I'll specify it in the article. I just want you to know, Okray Family Farms is not my first article. It is my fourth article but for some reason I was forced to delete the four articles.

Thanks for the heads up... Now that you've put things in perspective understand that the user was most probably involved in sock puppetry (This is regarding your answer in the Tea House on Sock Puppetry)... Thanks Again... Cheers Ajayupai95 ( talk) 16:58, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
I note that in the past you have modified the Tim Gustard page. It was originally created by a devoted collector and was a bit flowery. Wiki editors cleaned it up satisfactorily until user Filthemill came along. He seems to have and agenda clouded by personal prejudice and insists on deleting and adding derogatory matter in order to belittle, this is not in the spirit of Wikipedia. It would me great if someone like yourself could rebuild the article in the correct format, failing this it would be better to see the article deleted completely.

Thank you for informing me about the photo that was deleted off of the Justin Jones (American singer-songwriter) wiki page. Just to clarify, if I get the person who created the file to use the template given on this page /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:CONSENT Wikipedia:Declaration of consent for all enquiries and grant us permission to use the file, will it be put back on the page? Please let me know. thank you NickV930 NickV930 ( talk) 20:32, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I've recently been trying to update the images on the Shadow_Hand page, but don't seem to be able to comply with the guidelines. I first added two images on a non-free license, next in response to feedback that there was no reason that a free image could not be created, I created free versions of the images (I first tried to update the existing images but the copyright section of the page didn't seem to reflect my updates).
I then got another message saying there was no proof that the image was licensed under CC-SA so I used the template to send a consent email (I work for the company that created the images).
Finally all images have been removed, and the free image I uploaded the second time around was tagged with the following:
16:28, 1 March 2013 Diannaa (talk | contribs) deleted page File:Shadow hand and human hand size comparison.jpg (F1: Redundant copy of non-Commons file in the same file format: File:Shadow Robot Hand and Human Hand Size Comparison, Black and White.jpg)
I don't quite understand why they were both deleted, once the original non free version was removed, the second free image was no longer redundant.
Apologies for the long post, if you could help me comply with the regulations in order to get the images up onto the page it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
