Thanks for uploading File:Rodney Bewes 1973 screenshot.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 section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 18:43, 30 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Just in case it is deleted, you may want to contact an admin who will have deleted File:Rodney Bewes 1973 screenshot.jpg. George Ho (talk) 10:19, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@George Ho: He works out of User talk:B. As it happens he uses a bot for the deletion work. His talk page says he's 99 percent inactive. I have to question the ethics of that, why run a bot if your not around to administer it. What strategy do you think I should take with User talk:B? Thanks for the Saward links. You seem to be involved with bs in that direction too. These people are just making up policy as they go to defend their own positions, and this case he's just ignoring you!!! Your not alone I'm getting ignored on the Bewes issue as well. Though they do seem to have played ball over Helen Rollason. On yet another topic can you write bots? --BeckenhamBear (talk) 12:12, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

B the operator doesn't delete the image just because it's orphaned. Well, the bot tags orphaned images. I meant any admin who can delete the image as orphaned, like this one and the rest. I see you put the screenshot into your sandbox. Technically, it does violate WP:NFCC#9 ("Restrictions on location"). However, I'll not remove the screenshot (yet) from the sandbox. George Ho (talk) 18:09, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Almost forgot. You can ask at WP:MCQ if you want to. George Ho (talk) 10:40, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@George Ho: I assume you've already been to MCQ with similar. How did you get on? The Admin has still not come back. He's still not quoting policy. He did say earlier that I could have used it on the TV programme article. I've tweaked the justification again. I put the photo back up. Lets see what happens now. All the best. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 14:44, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't yet. Either you or I can start asking questions there about copyright of the file itself. George Ho (talk) 19:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well as I said, I posted a request for policy off the Admin, he's just ignored it; and then some hours later deleted the photo again, without rationale. I've again given him a chance to quote the policy he's employing. As I think you will agree, in all consciousness this is just the sort of edit/upload that newbies are inspired to start out with and for them to get slapped down immediately, is just not on. Especially when they have looked at, and conformed to the available policy, and then be met with further demands based on free floating made up opinions. Is there a hidden agenda on this sort of image of deceased persons images being uploaded? A fear of the gates being flung open. The official policy is quite clear it is acceptable if for (educative) single use and and of such poor quality it cant be reprinted for personal gain. Interested in your thoughts? This principal is superior to just a firefight over every upload, surely. Is an MCQ enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeckenhamBear (talk • contribs) 12:13, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'll discuss this further at Talk:Rodney Bewes instead. George Ho (talk) 03:50, 6 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Rodney Bewes 1973 screenshot.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for discussion. Please see the discussion to see why it has been listed (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry). Feel free to add your opinion on the matter below the nomination.

ATTENTION: This is an automated, bot-generated message. This bot DID NOT nominate any file(s) for deletion; please refer to the page history of each individual file for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Baja Studios, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

• It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
• It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. reddogsix (talk) 03:44, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for message. If you post an article it will be assessed as it stands. If you don't want that to happen, you should write it as a draft. I did not nominate the page for deletion, I deleted it following its nomination by Reddogsix. When an article is nominated for speedy deletion, although there is a "Contest this speedy deletion" button, there is no requirement to wait for the nomination to be challenged, it can be deleted immediately.

I deleted your article because

• it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company claims or interviewing its management. Most of your text was unreferenced, referenced only to the studio itself, or to the studio's tour. No independent third-party sources.
• it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced or self-sourced claims presented as fact include: It claims to have the worlds largest stages and water tanks designed for filming... As well as major movie work the facility is used for filming commercials, music videos, television series, and movies of the week (?)... completely self-contained production facility... unobstructed views of the ocean
• I note that some of your data eg 51 acres of land overlooking the Pacific Ocean 2,000 ft differs from that on the studio's own website. Note that we cannot accept original research or other unverifiable facts
• the article was a copyright violation of at least this page. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial but there is no indication that the copied site allows free use. Text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.
• I'm assuming that you probably don't have a conflict of interest when editing this article, but if you do, you must declare it.
• Not a reason for deletion, but you shouldn't have image galleries. If the images are relevant, put them in the body of the article, if not, leave them out

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read this important guidance.

We often restore deleted text on request, but for legal reasons we don't do so for copyright violations. Otherwise, it's not the worse I've seen, and if you want to try again, I'll post the infobox and list of films to a user sandbox. Please confirm on my user page if you think you can find proper sources and wish me to do that Jimfbleak - talk to me? 14:38, 4 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding our discussion on Sunday 14 January, deleted edits with your name are recorded for eight different pages, as follows:

• Beccehamians RFC - 2 edits
• Drummonderinoch - 1 edit
• Massacre of Monzievaird - 2 edits
• Talk:International response to the 2011 Sendai earthquake and tsunami - 1
• User:BeckenhamBear/sandbox - 445
• File:Alc refectory iron.jpg - 1
• File:HMS Grinder (1855).jpg - 2
• File talk:Rodney Bewes 1973 screenshot.jpg - 2

So most of your deleted edits - all bar eleven in fact - were to the page User:BeckenhamBear/sandbox. A recent deletion of that page would explain the sudden jump in your deleted edit count; and indeed, according to its logs, the page was deleted at 16:19, 4 January 2018. This was done under speedy deletion criterion G6, apparently so that another page could be moved there; the page history shows that the page now bearing that name was formerly in mainspace and named Baja Studios. The section named "Reply" above relates to this, as does this thread at Jimfbleak's talk page. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:49, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for that. Interesting about my sandbox, I would have thought, that would not count in a stat calculation. As for the other deletes, I had a look and could not see any record of deletions as such. This one is not even mentioned https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Victoria_(UK_TV_series)&diff=next&oldid=803448880 Maybe I don't know what to look for. Regarding the issue of over zealous Admins, there seems no way of curbing their (at times destructive) enthusiasm, or bringing them to account, or in rare instances correcting their grasp of policy. Meanwhile I'm plagued with when attempting to make edits, I find I have no control of the cursor and the text in the box (and the cursor) jumping around madly. Editing is well nigh impossible. Is it just me, have I got PC settings wrong? Best regards. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 17:38, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As far as edit counters are concerned, there is nothing special about a sandbox page - they are treated as normal pages and so sandbox edits are counted just like all other edits.

The edit to Victoria (UK TV series) was a simple content removal, possibly by means of an undo, but it was not a delete; and since it was made by AlexTheWhovian, it will count towards AlexTheWhovian's main edit count (increasing it by 1), and will not have altered either your deleted edit count or your main edit count. Deleted edits are counted when a page is deleted from Wikipedia and you have edited that page at any point in the past. So for Beccehamians RFC, where you made two edits (one at 12:03, 9 June 2011 (UTC) the other at 19:23, 4 July 2011), each edit will have scored 1 to your main edit count, until 00:33, 21 May 2012 (when the page was deleted), at which moment your main edit count will have decreased by 2 and your deleted edit count will have increased by 2 at the same time.

For the eight pages that I listed above, you can see the deletion log for any of these, but the method differs according to the link colour and type of page. For red links, click the link and the most recent entry from the log is shown in the pink box headed "A page with this title has previously been moved or deleted." For blue links, click the link then the "View history" tab; near the top of the history page there should be a link "View logs for this page" - click that. If there is no "View history" tab (as with the two File: pages), click the "Add local description" tab and you should get a pink box as with the red linked pages.

All admins have user talk pages, where you may ask them the reasoning behind their actions.

Regarding cursor difficulties, this is a matter for WP:VPT - where I see that the thread Weird text cursor / insertion point behaviour when editing source, iPad Safari primarily concerns cursor problems. You might like to read through that, and if it is relevant, make a comment there; if not, start a new section at VPT. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 01:20, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks again. I managed to rollback the edits in the sandbox and recover the original delete count, by the way. I'll look into the edit box situation. Mine is a PC/Windows 10 problem as opposed to ios though. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 02:10, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing that you did could have returned your delete count to its previous value; where edit counters are concerned, all that a rollback does is increase your normal edit count by 1. The drop in your deleted edit count was a direct consequence of Jimfbleak (talk · contribs) undeleting the deleted edits at 17:01 yesterday. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:13, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I believe you; so when hours before he touched it when I undid his edits in my Sandbox history it must have been giving me a false reading. Meanwhile I may have sorted out the edit box problems I was having by disabling the "syntax highlighting beta" I was using. --BeckenhamBear (talk) 17:23, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted this edit where you deleted content from another user's talk page. The circumstances under which it is permissible to remove content from another user's talk page are described at WP:TPO. --David Biddulph (talk) 16:02, 18 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I noticed that. Personally, if I have conflicting data when writing an article I tend to use the figure I think is more reliable or better sourced. In this case, I'd be inclined to use the Home data, and then either ignore the studio claim or put in a footnote that there are conflicting values. Format for footnotes is {{efn|your text plus reference if appropriate}} at the appropriate point in the text, then at the bottom put the heading ==Notes== with {{notelist}} on the following line Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:34, 19 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not change URLs as you did in Ecstasy: Three Tales of Chemical Romance because a part of the URL is not spelled correctly. URLs are not article text and are used to locate a web page. I realize that the URL in this case is a dead link, but you still should not change it to a fictional URL; that impedes the ability to locate an archive, because the correct URL is lost.

No. Any page as such is on Wikimedia. Commons is a repository of files and images. There was already a category for this but I substantially added to it. See: Media related to Turret deck ships at Wikimedia Commons Broichmore (talk)

On The Teahouse you asked for help proving "a major facility" exists. We can't do anything with the information you have. The only way Wikipedia could have an article is if a a reliable newspaper or magazine saw your evidence and concluded after further investigation that the facility exists. Then we could summarize what was said.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 19:56, 28 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for looking. Here's a photo of the facility: The facility fills this photo This is another photo of it The facility fills this image too. I think you will agree that the references are useless. This is the article as it stands now: Baja Studios. There is a big story here, but references dont support anything bigger than a very small stub. The current article is full of errors as it happens. See my sandbox for my last efforts.

Hi Broichmore, thanks for adding images to ship articles. However, when the image belongs to a completely unrelated vessel, one that only shares a name with the vessel of the image, I am not sure what really is accomplished. For instance, the Ballahou-class schooners are unrelated in time and type to the Flying Fish Baltimare clipper. Because the image is in the wrong place, and I grant you there is no correct place, it is not clear how anyone will find it. Regards, Acad Ronin (talk) 19:07, 6 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 17:16, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

On 27 June 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article City of New York (1885 ship), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the barque City of New York (pictured) was Richard E. Byrd's flagship on his first Antarctic expedition? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/City of New York (1885 ship). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, City of New York (1885 ship)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Hello! I'm the reviewer for your nomination of SS Yarmouth, and it appears that the process of expansion began on June 3rd when the article was first created, while the article was nominated for DYK on July 19th, over a month later later. The deadline for an article to be "new enough" for DYK is seven days, and while the rule is sometimes bent for new nominators, I don't think we can stretch it by a factor of four. Thank you for your work creating the article, however! Keep in mind you can always re-nominate the article for a DKY if you bring it up to GA status.--White Shadows ^{Let’s Talk} 03:52, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I dont understand this. I'm not procedurally knowledgeable to understand what has happened here. I started writing the article in draft on June 3d, The new page was created on July 19 or so I thought. On June 3rd you can see the draft article header at the top of the edit box. In my contributions page you can see on 19 July 15:26 Draft SS Yarmouth being moved SS Yarmouth. I don't understand this or how to interpret it. See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Draft:SS_Yarmouth&action=history . In my genuine ubnderstanding it was draft right up to 19 July. What to do? Broichmore (talk) 09:04, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@White Shadows: Yes, see WP:DYK#Eligibility criteria item 1c: "Articles that have been worked on exclusively ... in the Draft namespace and then moved ... to the article mainspace are considered new as of the date they reach the mainspace." This indicates that the DYK clock starts at the point the article reaches mainspace. As Broichmore notes, the page was indeed created in Draft: space, and moved to mainspace at 15:26, 19 July 2018 (UTC), and since the DYK was filed less than two days later at 11:53, 21 July 2018 (UTC), it is valid as far as "newly created" goes. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I feel very dumb right now. I missed that this started off as a draft! I’m well aware that draft articles can be as old as you want them to be and the 7 day deadline only starts when you share it to the mainspace...I’ve just missed that it was moved over from a draft. My deepest apologies. I’ll get to correcting that right away.—White Shadows ^{Let’s Talk} 14:27, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot (talk) 20:06, 26 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

	The Editor's Barnstar
	Thank you for helping me with my article I. C. Woodward so here is a Barnstar! Have A Nice Day! :DDDDD ~HuffSlush~ 16:24, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Thanks Broichmore. My guess is that Tug Fulton Corp was a subsidiary of Carroll Towing; Tug Fulton Corp were listed as the owners in both 1958 and 1964. They both have the same address at 17 Battery Place, New York, but so did many unrelated companies. It may well be that there will be other sources more accessible in the States (trade directories, ABS registers, newspaper reports) that can throw more light on this, and reveal how and when she met her end. It's a pity we cannot use that photo!

Dick Fulton looks pretty good. It would be good to nail down the two questions you raised already - "USS?" and the prime name. I have no material on this kind of vessel but as the article is cast in terms of her military service, I suppose that it is that that should govern the article naming - though in civilian life before/after the CW she was undoubtedly Dick Fulton. Nobody answered your concern over the correctness of "USS", but I would be surprised if that has not been addressed somewhere on a forum, as it would be a common issue over many 19th century vessels.

If you are interested in running, please sign up here by 23:59 UTC on 14 September! Voting doesn't commence until 15 September. If you have any questions, you can contact any member of the coord team. Cheers, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:53, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
