Thank you for bringing that to my attention. I'll correct that right away. Cheers. -- A.S. Brown ( talk) 03:59, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Marchjuly. There's a thread at COIN regarding the Orpheus (band) page. See COIN Orpheus (band). The COIN Orpheus (band) page has several issues, one of which is images. You also may want to see this and my post here regarding two of the images. I saw your posts at WP:FFD. Would you mind combing through the images on the Orpheus (band) page and take any needed action. Thanks. -- Jreferee ( talk) 11:01, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Adriana Sanford, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ISSA. 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.

Clearly you need to get a life if removing images from my sandbox is a top priority. Images will only be in sandbox temporarily, is it really such a crime, how is it harming anybody, seriuously Djln Djln ( talk) 22:33, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
Did you notice that the discussion was closed automatically after the first file was deleted as an orphaned non-free file? I guess you meant that we should delete one of the files and keep the other one, so if you are fine with this outcome, then maybe the {{ ffd}} tag should be removed from the second file. -- Stefan2 ( talk) 14:59, 16 January 2016 (UTC)
Good spot, clear DUCK, I have indeffed the sock and increased SWASTIK 25's block to 2 weeks - next time it will be indefinite. Giant Snowman 12:26, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
I notice that you tagged the use of File:Good Morning Britain 1986 sofa.jpg within the TV-am article to show that it was under discussion.
Unfortunately, after being rather confused when the generated link didn't take me to the discussion, I realised that it was wrong because the wrong date had been entered. I think this is because the then-current date was entered as a default when you filled in the tag, which wasn't the same date as the discussion had been opened! (i.e. I'm assuming it has to be explicitly specified if it's not the present date).
I've fixed this, but I thought you should know for next time. All the best! Ubcule ( talk) 23:13, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Can I ask what your problem is? You don't leave messages on my talk page, rather you are vigorously editing things you know nothing about and you're questioning notability. Her family is the famous Tarachi family in Minna, the fact she's not known to you personally or in your region, doesn't change this fact. You're acting like this is the only page on Wikipedia and as if you own Wikipedia. I am going to add more sources as I find them but please, stop this Disruptive behaviour. This is the same behaviour that discourages people from editing on Wikipedia. Adrian Guildford ( talk) 12:04, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
There are several publications on her which are in print, a few aren't available online, others are. If you are taking this too far as if it's your own project, by all means, do your own research. But administrators should also cooperate with editors not obstruct activity merely because you have that power. Adrian Guildford ( talk) 12:06, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
And even the tiniest correction/edit of changing the lowercase 't' to uppercase 't' has been reverted by you. This is personal attack not editing. Even correcting letters is a crime, why?? I can see you live on Wikipedia. Adrian Guildford ( talk) 12:09, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I added the correct link. The one linking to the VCBA, please have a look. Also, I don't know if you should remove the 'archive' link since the link I provided is current? Advise. Adrian Guildford ( talk) 23:00, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
|date=
and |deadurl=
, to make the citation more complete. Just for reference, I think citation tempates will automatically default to the archived url when it is being used with an active "current" url so "deadurl=no" is needed to ensure that the "current" link is the one being linked to. Also. I don't think there's anything wrong with leaving the archived link as is because it's useful and helps prevent
link rot. It's sort of like a pre-caution against the "current" url becoming a dead link someday.I do not agree with allowing a free pass for game screenshots. But, I'm apparently in the extreme majority. I've long felt that Wikipedia not only slipped on the slope, but fell off of the entire damn planet. We recently passed 500k non-free images (see the graphic on the top right of my userpage). That's insane. But, it doesn't matter. I'm almost a lone voice now, and whereas I used to care, I don't anymore. So, let's allow it. It does not matter that the Foundation has ruled that we can not erode their policy. The Foundation is in seriously bad shape now, with horrendous staff problems and massive leadership issues. Did you know that a survey of Foundation employees found that just 7% (~15 employees) felt senior leadership at Wikimedia communicated a vision that motivates them or keeps them informed about what is happening? I don't think they're going to care anymore that we liberally allow non-free content, despite their resolution. They've never cared enough to do anything about it before (even their legal counsel told use if it was fair use, it was ok). So why should I care?
Locally, most of the old-guard that would have defended our free content mission are long gone, either retired or kicked off the project. There's precious few left who care anymore. Even one of the supporters of the motion, long an ardent supporter of limited non-free content usage, has flipped over to the other side now and is arguing in favor of increased non-free usage. There's no fighting it anymore.
Whereas it used to be the case that overuse of non-free files on articles was policed within a few days, now there are articles that have languished for months with mass overuse of non-free images...and nobody cares. Here's an example; long ago we deprecated the use of album covers in discography pages. That was a decision made many years ago. It used to be regularly enforced. You couldn't create a discography and get away with album covers on them for more than a day or two at most. There's a discography out there that was created 2/3rds of a year ago. It has album covers all over it. Nobody's removed the images. This isn't isolated. Here's one from a year ago that is a catalog of ships (effectively a ship-ography, if you will): Starship Enterprise. The people who would have done something about that are gone.
If this free pass for game screenshots passes, there's no reason to not permit all sorts of screen shots for all sorts of other genres. The argument to force out screenshots of TV episodes for example becomes completely void. There's a ton of other examples. Movies, audio clips from radio shows, books dependent on imagery, and on and on and on.
As to the Ethnic galleries; I watched that closely. The deprecation of them though had little to do with NFC issues. -- Hammersoft ( talk) 21:43, 22 January 2016 (UTC)
