Orphaned non-free image File:2019 European Short Course Swimming Championships logo.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:2019 European Short Course Swimming Championships logo.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) 18:23, 5 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for February 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited London Stadium, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page David Weir (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 07:56, 27 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Alert

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Hi Gamesoftheworld, I hope you are well. You recently added some thoughts to Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/2017 World Snooker Championship/archive1. Thank you for that. Did you have any additional comments on the article? Thank you so much for taking a look at it. Best Wishes, Lee Vilenski ^{(talk • contribs)} 11:47, 17 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked temporarily from editing certain areas of the encyclopedia for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Deb (talk) 18:28, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

What area how long? Games of the world (talk) 18:31, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Games of the world (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I have not made any personal attacks. I made one comment that was slightly iffy, stating don't be stupid. That is not a personal attack, that is in fact stretching it and other users have said a lot worse on that page including repeated COI attacks and outrageous accusations of bias, which apparently is OK in Wikipedia. However I have acknowledge that it could have been phrased better. In addition where is the harassment. I have given specific examples of threats and harassment accused of COI and threatening to accuse of COI if one remove something and it has been deemed OK. All my editing brought neutrality and value to the article. It is not harassment to change one's edit in line with balance POV and neutrality. Which is even written in tedious editing (by product of harassment) that it is tedious to deliberately and wilfully write unneautural things and to write against sources and it is not harassment to undo these things! Mean if we're going to go there, I can name Caprewarer and Defacto for doing the same thing after I edit. Only difference is I note it is constructive editing and was not intending it to be harassment. In addition this block only came around after I removed a disgusting rant (certainly wasn't constructive nor helpful and was aggressive) about how other editors have been in for longer and refusal to look at COI claims and to deal with editors as a result and I point out in that rant it said that "NO one on the talk page had said anything bad." Therefore less of a personal attack than anything else on the page. That is not an acceptable behaviour and in itself is intimidation. It is not a blockable thing to remove a talk page thread (as they don't have to be there for ever and a day), which I feel I would have been blocked for whether I edited with a comment or not. I am and have been editing constructively and I have ignored many personal attacks (which are apparently fine) and random rants from JJ. In addition I did not place any warning on anyone's page as I disagreed with them as Deb's has asserted. I placed it there as they were inserting things which were not in the source. That is not intimidation, but JJ's reaction was towards me. I did nothing wrong etc. I know when I crossed a line and that wasn't one. In addition the article has cooled off with the nonsense edits of trying to delete England stuff and add any old anti Boris (don't mind it if it is phrased showing both sides of argument) or random stuff which was not for UK only or as gospel for everything but England (again there are ways and means to do this but...). The article and other editors seem to be more constructive and are not trying to show pony there way to getting what they want, thus I ain't getting sucked in. Note all of my edits before JJ appeared were adding and still are good decent content to the page. Games of the world (talk) 19:04, 23 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

WP:NPA policy says Comment on content, not on the contributor and Serious accusations require serious evidence, usually in the form of diffs and links. I suggest (re-)reading WP:NICETRY regarding unblock requests.—Bagumba (talk) 12:17, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

@Bagumba: I shown evidence of the COI and other associations on Deb's page but she decided to ignore it and came out with an outrageous comment, so I don't see how showing evidence is relevant at this point in an unblock request, when I'm intending for it to be an explanation of the situation and not a counter strike per se. Games of the world (talk) 13:20, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This in itself is a personal attack, implying bad faith on my part. Deb (talk) 07:50, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another personal attack from Deb. Nice! Your comments to me always imply bad faith on my part. Come on Deb's you can't have it both way and you know it. The fact that you've appeared here to make that comment instead of explaining says it all. Games of the world (talk) 07:55, 6 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Flushing Meadows–Corona Park into Grandstand (US Open). While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 13:33, 29 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

2020 24 Hours of Le Mans (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Are you planning to *continue* an edit war that is currently reported at WP:AN3? This may not be advisable. To avoid sanctions, consider reverting yourself and then wait for agreement on the talk page. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 21:01, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ed considering I spent a long time trying to mediate on one of the other 2 yesterday caused by The359 and the 359 refusing to compromise whatsoever. This is not the same issue, but I will not be looking for a war. Games of the world (talk) 21:05, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring at 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Continuing to revert while a report was open. See the noticeboard. EdJohnston (talk) 21:27, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

ANI

Hi - I'm here to offer you a piece of unsolicited, but hopefully friendly, advice. Over the past few days I've noticed you commenting a lot at numerous threads at WP:ANI. I'm not here to take issue with any of the individual comments - some of them I agree with, some of them not so much, but that isn't the issue. All editors are welcome to read and comment on ANI threads - it's not an 'admins only' board - but it's unusual for a non-admin to take quite such an intense interest in it. I've seen cases before of people getting far too interested in the goings on there, repeatedly making comments which aren't helpful, trying people's patience and eventually being given the boot. I'm not saying that you're approaching that point in any way, but there are plenty of admins who monitor the noticeboard, who are able to give editors advice and also take action to prevent disruption - you might want to consider whether your time might be spend more productively on a different part of the project. I hope this doesn't come across as too critical - just wanted to give you some food for thought. Cheers GirthSummit _(blether) 10:50, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

WP:ANI Disruptive behaviour by DePiep

Thanks for your contribution. I enjoyed where you said, "Sandbh you really need to pick more wisely before coming here."

Re "See here for slow moving edit war." There was no edit war. I mentioned at the start of my post, "Members of WP:ELEM have recently been editing the periodic table article, as an exercise in continuous cooperative editing." The result was about 120 of edits representing improvements to the article.

Re, "Sandbh I think has a case to answer EdChem's comments in an appropriate way." I posted, "I feel EdChem’s statement has several misrepresentations and errors. I’ve asked him, at his talk page[1], to please address my concerns as he sees fit." I did that rather than replying at ANI, in order to prevent the walls of text phenomenon at ANI you referred to.

The main hold up with respect to the PT article is that DePiep, in breach of BRD, reverted my revert.

If that kind of behaviour is acceptable then I have no grounds for being at WP:ANI.

Your thoughts? --- Sandbh (talk) 23:12, 26 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Ron Meadows, recreation

Hi just to let you know, I'm seriously considering recreating the Ron Meadows (Mercedes Sporting Director) page as he's more in the public interest due to the presence of FIA team radios being broadcasted (such as in Saudi Arabia). Every other team's sporting director or equivalent position has a unique user page, don't see why Meadows shouldn't.
