Ritchie333, Gatoclass changed the hook, according to the edit summary, because the marchers removed the fake breasts prior to crossing the bridge according to the source. (And made a similar change to the article.) You've just reverted to a hook that says that they marched across the bridge with the breasts on. Please recheck the source and adjust the hook if necessary so it's accurate (I haven't had time to do so myself.) Thanks. BlueMoonset ( talk) 10:02, 25 August 2016 (UTC)

See you at Arbcom? I'd hate for you to miss out on all the fun. The Rambling Man ( talk) 21:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)
Let's see: Martinevans123 has created 84 articles since 2007, 5 of those in 2016 (and one deleted as a copyvio in 2014). Ritchie333 has created 93 articles since 2005, including 15 in 2016 and 2 deleted ones (though those weren't that problematic). I have created 1471 articles (14 in 2016), 3 of which have been deleted since (a test page, an incorrect redirect, and an article on a nonnotable subject from my early days here). Many of those 1471 are run-of-the-mill creations without a lot of value, but even discounting those I have added more articles to Wikipedia than either of you (or both of you combined). But yes, not making a mainspace edit in 10 days (and worse, not editing at all for 7 of those 10 days!) is of course a hideous crime. No idea why you bring up the 3000 unreferended BLPs, before I started highlighting these there were more than 50,000 of those, so blaming me for the remaining 3,000 seems bizarre (or do you think that we shouldn't care about unreferenced BLPs especially and my efforts to get rid of them were somehow detrimental to Wikipedia?). And no, mentioning someone at Arbcom doesn't mean that you should drop a note on their talk page (I was mentioned as well and didn't receive such a note, just like many others probably). I did ping Ritchie333, and he was already present in the discussion so one could assume that he would read the page in any case.
Oh, and Martinevans123, speaking of copyright violations, it looks as if many of the youtube links on your user and talk page are probable copyright violations. Please remove them asap per WP:LINKVIO and WP:UPNOT. Fram ( talk) 12:11, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi there. I've started a new initiative, the Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. It's a long term goal to bring about 10,000 article improvements to the UK and Ireland. Through two contests involving just six or seven weeks of editing so far we've produced over 1500 improvements. Long term if we have more people chipping it and adding articles they've edited independently as well from all areas of the UK then reaching that target is all possible. I think it would be an amazing achievement to see 10,000 article improvements by editors chipping in. If you support this and think you might want to contribute towards this long term please sign up in the Contributors section. No obligations, just post work on anything you feel like whenever you want, though try to avoid basic stubs if possible as we're trying to reduce the overall stub count and improve general comprehension and quality. Feel free to add all your London roads and others to the main list and update it whenever you've edited a British article. Thanks.
I'll update that main list once the West Country challenge is complete though so don't worry about adding your entries for the contest to it!♦ Dr. Blofeld 12:19, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
Yngvadottir, Drmies, you'll be interested in this. Today, I popped into my local library to get some books, and picked up one that was "reference only" that I couldn't take away. I didn't have my laptop, so I was reduced to using a public computer. Now I'm not crazy enough to log in as an admin on a computer any old person can wander in off the street and use. I thought about creating a public account, as many admins do, but then I had an idea. Why don't I just try making the article edits I would normally make, but as an IP without edit summaries, and let's see what happens? It's allowed (AFAIK through numerous discussions) and it allows me to do work without leaving a paper trail of my admin login where prying eyes can see it?
Well, the evidence is in, and it's here. @ NgYShung: I would now like an explanation of why you removed a good faith edit that was cited to an expert source on the South Eastern Railway to Folkestone Harbour railway station? Would you have reverted it if I had made the edit logged in as Ritchie333 (which would have been absolutely identical except for an edit summary of "add background to SER purchase")? I await your answers with interest. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:19, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
{{
sfn}}
and {{
harvnb}}
are pretty much
shibboleths in Wikipedia. If you normally use one, it probably means you are providing sources on hard-to find paper books that aren't online. That means you're a serious researcher who wants to write content; trudging to a library or forking out hard earned cash means you are prepared to sacrifice more of your life on Wikipedia to write things than most sane people. I don't think I have ever seen an IP use either template (though I dare say that 99 chap has used one) so putting one in as an IP was an interesting test. Anyway, lesson here for today is NgYShung is this : Anti vandal tools complement encyclopedia writing, they do not replace it. You should never judge whether to revert on whether the edit was by an IP or by a logged-in editor - it is irrelevant. (Can I call this "wiki-racism" or would that upset people?) If you're not up to speed with how to write an article, you are going to run into trouble. FWIW, I decided to write about Folkestone Harbour station because I did a gig on the seafront there last week
[1] and was reminiscing about the time I boarded a ferry for France there on a school trip many moons ago.

Huh. I've recently started using {{ sfn}} (on Qal'eh Hasan Ali) because my first articles included no pagenumber citations at all and the method I used on Laguna del Maule (volcano) and others (i.e list-defined references split by page numbers) requires a lot of hopping between sections to verify.

Nice one! I looked at that a couple of hours ago (as a Wiltshire stub in the West Country Challenge), found a couple of online references, and thought I'd give it a go after shopping and lunch. Refreshed later and it was done - good one.
It got me thinking - if I look at a few more articles, do you think you could update them? Would save me a lot of work. Robevans123 ( talk) 14:02, 2 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, Ritchie! Can I ask you to take a look at a music article draft for me? It's about the Canadian singer Kai. I deleted an article about her in June, per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kai (Canadian singer). The consensus was TOOSOON. I then userfied it here: User:Magusmusic/Kai (Canadian singer). That user, Magusmusic, never did anything with it. But a second user, Esmost, has been improving it and is asking if it can be returned to mainspace. We have been discussing that request here and here. I think the improved draft is significantly different enough that it couldn't be G4ed, but I don't know if it could survive a second AfD - or if it's still TOOSOON. Can you take a look and advise? Thanks a bunch! -- MelanieN ( talk) 15:47, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi, the article which I had previously talked to you about has been created again, under a slightly different title and by a different account from last time. Notably, it was first created as a redirect and subsequently expanded. As noticed in the past, the article uses questionable (not to say 'fake') references to support claims that are not credible to a reader who has a minimum knowledge of the subject: apart from three dubious (self-submitted?) refs, the others either don't mention him at all or they are not verifiable (404 error or no URL provided). For example, if this rider really exists, he has never competed in the FIM Superstock 1000 Cup, as stated through a piped link in the lead sentence, nor in Grand Prix motorcycle racing, as implied by the infobox, and the rest of the biography is quite vague; for sure I can add more details if you need. I am quite puzzled by the effort behind this article (opening a domain, submitting press releases to some sites, ...) and concerned that a reader (or a page patroller) who is not familiar with motorcycle racing is led to genuinely believe to these statements as they look to be well referenced at first sight. Best regards, – Gpmat ( talk) 11:55, 4 September 2016 (UTC)
While I understand your reasoning for pulling Tunbridge Wells Cricket Club, let me be clear that the one that ran was NOT the one I proposed. I had already stopped an alteration in the prep but once it got to the queue, someone altered it again and there was nothing I could do about it. The issue here is that other editors imposed their personal preferences in there over the original I had proposed, that kept the hook within the context of the quote. Can I please ask if the hook can be restored with the original hook that was approved on the nomination page? The C of E God Save the Queen! ( talk) 09:33, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi.
I noticed that you'd removed the infbox on A836 road. Your edit summary suggests that the info in it was just wrong? I'm assuming that an accurate version of it would be fine? Or do you have a wider problem with an infobox on the article?
It's not an article that I've edited but I happen to have had it on my watchlist because it runs through some places I have edited.

For reference: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicole Aniston (2nd nomination)
I'm sorry but could you please explain me how this has been random? You didn't even mention that in your explanation but only said that others linked nothing but google searches. I have analysed the sources in detail and you didn't even care about refering to that senseless effort. I'm asking myself why I've wasted my time if you don't care about my content based points. -- SamWinchester000 ( talk) 06:24, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
This analysation was also referring to SteveQuin's false claim that the sources he himself was looking up would be useless because the sources would not be about the person but only little mentions of her. I was a bit late (as it has been a big effort I originally did not want to do) but I was refuting his argument by stating enough articles that indeed were dealing with her rise and her career. That also gave other users' arguments more weight again so that their arguments shouldn't have been discharged but considered for the decision. -- SamWinchester000 ( talk) 06:36, 17 September 2016 (UTC) Btw: I'm really happy that in de:wikipedia admin-kept articles stay kept and cannot be discussed a hundred times.
Just dropping by to thank you for your close. I took a whack at closing this about a day before you did, and came to the conclusion that delete was the only possible close. Then I decided I just didn't have the energy for the inevitable arguments and DRV. It's good to have the independent confirmation that I was on the right track. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:31, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie333, recently you removed NgYShung from the AfC participants' list. They have readded themselves to the list. Would you mind having a quick look at some point to see whether your concerns have been addressed? Thanks, /wiae /tlk 10:53, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ritchie, I've moved the panorama of Oxford Circus so it's beneath the text. The {{

you added creates a lot of white space on larger screens. Is this fine?

Would you be able to double check Ref31 (Hibbert & Weinreb 2010, p. 236) for whether the store was called "Dickins and Smith" or "Dickins & Smith" (see first sentence of Retail)? Anarchyte ( work | talk) 11:59, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi can you, Anarchyte or SchroCat flesh this out a bit? Surprised it was missing. Schro I'll review your FAC tomorrow ;-)♦ Dr. Blofeld 14:06, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited A4 road (England), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Great West Road. 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.

It is been widely held by consensus for some time now, and stated in policy that sanction discussions are normally kept open for at least 24 hours to allow time for comments from a broad selection of community members. Please avoid closing them too early in the future, it seemed as though the discussion had more life left in it [7].
Not much to be done now, just a friendly note reminding you of how banning discussions are handled. HighInBC Need help? {{ping|HighInBC}} 22:11, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi.
I noticed that you'd removed the infbox on A836 road. Your edit summary suggests that the info in it was just wrong? I'm assuming that an accurate version of it would be fine? Or do you have a wider problem with an infobox on the article?
It's not an article that I've edited but I happen to have had it on my watchlist because it runs through some places I have edited. I was feeling rather annoyed by the crappy list of places on it but time is not on my side re:major editing just now. Blue Square Thing ( talk) 17:05, 6 September 2016 (UTC)

For reference: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nicole Aniston (2nd nomination)
I'm sorry but could you please explain me how this has been random? You didn't even mention that in your explanation but only said that others linked nothing but google searches. I have analysed the sources in detail and you didn't even care about refering to that senseless effort. I'm asking myself why I've wasted my time if you don't care about my content based points. -- SamWinchester000 ( talk) 06:24, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
This analysation was also referring to SteveQuin's false claim that the sources he himself was looking up would be useless because the sources would not be about the person but only little mentions of her. I was a bit late (as it has been a big effort I originally did not want to do) but I was refuting his argument by stating enough articles that indeed were dealing with her rise and her career. That also gave other users' arguments more weight again so that their arguments shouldn't have been discharged but considered for the decision. -- SamWinchester000 ( talk) 06:36, 17 September 2016 (UTC) Btw: I'm really happy that in de:wikipedia admin-kept articles stay kept and cannot be discussed a hundred times.
Just dropping by to thank you for your close. I took a whack at closing this about a day before you did, and came to the conclusion that delete was the only possible close. Then I decided I just didn't have the energy for the inevitable arguments and DRV. It's good to have the independent confirmation that I was on the right track. -- RoySmith (talk) 13:31, 17 September 2016 (UTC)
