Hi Ritchie333, yesterday ProRavan Official tried to change their user name to Official TusharSahu by moving their user page and talk page: see move log. If I read the logs correctly, this happened a few minutes after Official TusharSahu had been registered. There is no reason to believe that this is not the same person, since Official TusharSahu has only been editing Draft:Pyaar Ki Luka Chuppi which was created by ProRavan Official. ProRavan Official has been involved in some promotion of Indian actors and TV shows (in particular one actor whose paid agents have been spamming WP for years), and has a previous temporary block for socking ( Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/ProRavan Official/Archive). The "username change" looks like a genuine good-faith error, even if I suspect it may have been done partly to obscure the editing activities around Draft:Pyaar Ki Luka Chuppi, but ProRavan Official's talk page messages can't remain at User talk:Official TusharSahu. I can't move it back since there are two new notices on the talk page since it was moved. Could you do something with admin pixie dust to split the edit histories? Regards, -- bonadea contributions talk 12:09, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Richie, I'm very puzzled on the Keep of Brewery Collectibles Club of America. None of the sources met the criteria for establishing notability as per WP:NCORP. I pointed that out at the AfD. Nobody rebutted either, hence the puzzlement. HighKing ++ 18:23, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey there, I read this discussion at most as a no consensus, as it was split evenly if you lumped "delete" with "incubate". Further, the nominator provided no reasoning, and the only two incubate supporters also presented arguments that substantially misstated policy, particularly Footlessmouse's completely incorrect definition of OR. Please reconsider. Thanks, postdlf ( talk) 18:04, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
Bound Together Afd had three arguments (mine included) in favor towards not keeping was well articulated, but the one line keep argument did not make good argument. So in terms both vote and argument, I feel there was a consensus towards deletion. Graywalls ( talk) 17:45, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Could I ask for your help. I had previously created 13 articles, almost all in mainspace , and was not expecting a problem when I went to create a 14th last night. Boy, was I wrong! I had always used Article Wizard but it seemed not to allow that anymore, only for Draft. So I set up my sandbox for the first time and read a piece on what you do when you are ready to move it out. But it did not seem to tally with what I saw and the display was not clear to me. I really fouled up. My Aineireland sandbox was redirected to Peter Collis (the intended name of the article) and Peter Collis was redirected to User page: Peter Collis. I managed to undo the first redirect by blanking it from my sandbox page but the 2nd redirect remains. Could you possibly remove it. I blanked out what content I had written and will start again from scratch.
I NOW KNOW how to move the page from the sandbox because I later watched a video tutorial of Ewan McAndrew, so it won't happen again. Aineireland ( talk) 13:56, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
Thank you , but how will I get it into mainspace or forwarded as a draft for review when I am finished? On three occasions I used Draft space but there were prompts about sending it on when you were ready. I see no facility here. Will I just keep improving it and wait for it to be reviewed and accepted? Aineireland ( talk) 14:56, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
That seems to have sorted it. I am really grateful. Aineireland ( talk) 18:29, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Not actually contesting the close as it can be revisited down the line, but curious how it's a no consensus with not a single person saying it should be kept. I don't even see the person who dropped the links as advocating for keep, but may have misread their comment. Thanks for any insight. StarM 17:22, 3 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Ritchie333! I'm Daria working at Wikimedia UK. Some time ago we supported a UK editor with a volunteer grant, buying books for them about Audrey Hepburn so they can write some articles. They have now done everything they wanted to do with them, returned the books to us, and suggested that we pass them onto you. There are 6 of them. Is this something you would be interested in? We'd be happy to simply donate the books to you with no obligation to return. If you want to write articles based on them, and let us know about it, great - but no pressure. daria.cybulskawikimedia.org.uk

You revert this adding :
On 26 July 1939, two bombs exploded in the London Underground – one in the left-luggage area of King's Cross station and one in the left-luggage area of Victoria Station. In the King's Cross attack, one man was killed and two wounded. In the Victoria Station attack five were wounded.

As I said, I am doing an extensive review on a GA nomination. One of the links goes to Doreen Young Wickremasinghe, which has an ugly red copyvio template on it that I have never seen. At any rate, I went to Earwig, input the revision #30191468 from the article creation on 4 December 2005 and compared it to the link given that appeared in the Sunday Observer on 27 August 2006. Short of a few words and punctuation marks, the Observer article is a 98.4% copy of the Wikipedia article. Just for double checking I also input the revision #68476651 from the WP version on 8 August 2006. It also confirms that the Observer article copied 98.4% of the extant WP article. So, how does one get rid of that template? Clearly the Observer copied WP, not the other way around. SusunW ( talk) 18:10, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie, hope you're keeping well! I was wondering if I could pester you for a semi-formal peer review or a GA review of Chandler's Ford shooting. I wrote it a while back and I'm pretty sure it's complete (though a new book on the history of the Flying Squad came out earlier this year, which I've just ordered; it might have some useful snippets) and I've toyed with the idea of taking it to FAC but I'd like some more eyes on it first. I used to hit Gavin up for this kind of thing. My main concern, besides just wanting fresh eyes, is that it only has three incoming links but I'm stumped for other places to link it from. Obviously, if you're looking for a reviewer for a road or a station I'd be happy to oblige, and if you don't have time or it's not your cup of tea then no worries. All the best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:24, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
I added an event that the Oxford Circus tube signs at street level had all changed for a Sony PS5 Promotion which you undid. Your reason for undoing the addition was under WP: Not News with the additional line of "what does this have to do with Oxford Street?" Answer: Nothing. It's to do with a temporary change in street architecture in Oxford Circus where people passing thru might want to know why the change happened. I don't have pictures of the street level signs as the link I have is only for the manufacturers, so perhaps it wasn't clear that this was a change in street architecture and perhaps you thought it was only signs in the tube station itself... I'd say it shows the breadth and variety of "events" occurring in Oxford Circus, from Extinction Revolution to commercial promotions etc. So how about adding the event back? Perhaps it needs more photos of the actual signs at street level, but I did note that most of the events didn't have much in the way of pictures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrientalHero ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Hahaha, yes quite a while since the last edit. I think I was spurred by my first correction to the Guardian yesterday (which got them to update one of their references). It just so happened that I didn't find much online about the tube signage change and thought Wikipedia might have more info. But I think you're right about the encyclopaedia angle and the multiple promotions. I'll see if the PS5 has a marketing section where it might live in the form you suggested. Thanks for the clarification! — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrientalHero ( talk • contribs) 09:13, 19 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi! Sorry to bother you about an old AFD, but I'm curious about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Tartan Films releases.
Not being able to see the original article, I don't know if it was as well-kept or lengthy as List of Criterion Collection releases, but whether it did or not the WP:CATALOG argument would apply just as well to that list, and the claim about "notability" is somewhat confusing -- back in the 1990s and early 2000s Tartan releases were the primary way people in the UK and Ireland accessed Japanese cinema (and presumably the films of other countries, but I don't remember) and the main reason for creating a separate List of Tartan Films releases would be because the list had grown too long and was overwhelming our Palisades Tartan article not because the company itself is somehow notable but its products are not.
I wouldn't mind just merging it all into the company's article either ( Masters of Cinema is essentially an article on Eureka Entertainment consisting primarily of an extended list of their DVDs), but I'd need to see it first.

Hi. I just noticed your question from 2014 on my talk page, about the Drammen Spiral challenge. Not sure if you are still interested, but I found this link in Norwegian, which explains it. Held by the Royal Norwegian Automobile association (KNA), it seems to be a rally which bears the Spiralen name. Starting in Hokksund, 20 km west of Drammen, it is a 206 km rally. Don't know if I'm using correct translation terms, but the link says that it's a "challenge-race" consisting of stages with open time controls. Transport stages, "reliablity" stages and 4 "skill" stages. I can't find a map, but the page says that it is possible to refill gas after c. 100 km in Lampeland, which is about 50 km south-west of Drammen, so I'm guessing the rally only gets its name from Spiralen. -- Cashewnøtt ( talk) 07:35, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

I'm going to hope that you or a page stalker can help me. I've written an article about women trying to abolish the poll tax in the US. Looking for photographs of the activists, I found this image and uploaded it, thinking that the fair use one currently on Mary Fair Burks article should be replaced. Problem is that I unknowingly named it the same name, so I cannot get the free one to appear in my article or on hers. When I tried to figure out how to fix it this article on renaming said to rename the one on the local WP, but apparently I cannot do that? and need an admin to help me. Since I trust your magic wand can work on this, can you make the fair use image go away so that the free-to-use commons one can be used? Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 21:19, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
I think you are looking for

Obviously, if you're looking for a reviewer for a road or a station I'd be happy to oblige, and if you don't have time or it's not your cup of tea then no worries. All the best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:24, 16 November 2020 (UTC)
I added an event that the Oxford Circus tube signs at street level had all changed for a Sony PS5 Promotion which you undid. Your reason for undoing the addition was under WP: Not News with the additional line of "what does this have to do with Oxford Street?" Answer: Nothing. It's to do with a temporary change in street architecture in Oxford Circus where people passing thru might want to know why the change happened. I don't have pictures of the street level signs as the link I have is only for the manufacturers, so perhaps it wasn't clear that this was a change in street architecture and perhaps you thought it was only signs in the tube station itself... I'd say it shows the breadth and variety of "events" occurring in Oxford Circus, from Extinction Revolution to commercial promotions etc. So how about adding the event back? Perhaps it needs more photos of the actual signs at street level, but I did note that most of the events didn't have much in the way of pictures. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrientalHero ( talk • contribs) 17:01, 18 November 2020 (UTC)
Hahaha, yes quite a while since the last edit. I think I was spurred by my first correction to the Guardian yesterday (which got them to update one of their references). It just so happened that I didn't find much online about the tube signage change and thought Wikipedia might have more info. But I think you're right about the encyclopaedia angle and the multiple promotions. I'll see if the PS5 has a marketing section where it might live in the form you suggested. Thanks for the clarification! — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrientalHero ( talk • contribs) 09:13, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Hello Ritchie, for your attention: [4] for a possible revision delete (hiding the revision text). Thank you. -- Crystallizedcarbon ( talk) 09:47, 19 November 2020 (UTC)
Hi! Sorry to bother you about an old AFD, but I'm curious about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Tartan Films releases.
Not being able to see the original article, I don't know if it was as well-kept or lengthy as List of Criterion Collection releases, but whether it did or not the WP:CATALOG argument would apply just as well to that list, and the claim about "notability" is somewhat confusing -- back in the 1990s and early 2000s Tartan releases were the primary way people in the UK and Ireland accessed Japanese cinema (and presumably the films of other countries, but I don't remember) and the main reason for creating a separate List of Tartan Films releases would be because the list had grown too long and was overwhelming our Palisades Tartan article not because the company itself is somehow notable but its products are not.
I wouldn't mind just merging it all into the company's article either ( Masters of Cinema is essentially an article on Eureka Entertainment consisting primarily of an extended list of their DVDs), but I'd need to see it first.

Hi. I just noticed your question from 2014 on my talk page, about the Drammen Spiral challenge. Not sure if you are still interested, but I found this link in Norwegian, which explains it. Held by the Royal Norwegian Automobile association (KNA), it seems to be a rally which bears the Spiralen name. Starting in Hokksund, 20 km west of Drammen, it is a 206 km rally. Don't know if I'm using correct translation terms, but the link says that it's a "challenge-race" consisting of stages with open time controls. Transport stages, "reliablity" stages and 4 "skill" stages. I can't find a map, but the page says that it is possible to refill gas after c. 100 km in Lampeland, which is about 50 km south-west of Drammen, so I'm guessing the rally only gets its name from Spiralen. -- Cashewnøtt ( talk) 07:35, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

look! - ever so proud of the little article which is my DYK 1500 and relates to DYK 1 - by sheer coincidence! -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 21:47, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
I'm going to hope that you or a page stalker can help me. I've written an article about women trying to abolish the poll tax in the US. Looking for photographs of the activists, I found this image and uploaded it, thinking that the fair use one currently on Mary Fair Burks article should be replaced. Problem is that I unknowingly named it the same name, so I cannot get the free one to appear in my article or on hers. When I tried to figure out how to fix it this article on renaming said to rename the one on the local WP, but apparently I cannot do that? and need an admin to help me. Since I trust your magic wand can work on this, can you make the fair use image go away so that the free-to-use commons one can be used? Thanks! SusunW ( talk) 21:19, 27 November 2020 (UTC)
I think you are looking for
Template:Di-replaceable fair use. Put {{subst:rfu|[[:Commons:File:filename]] is a free image of the same person, so there is no need for this non-free image.}}
