You retracted my published information

Hi, you retracted the information I added to the Rosenheim Mansion about Palaye Royale's new music video "Dark Side of the Silver Spoon" being filmed there. But I cannot add a reference to this because Wikipedia apparently doesn't allow links to YouTube. The video isn't posted anywhere else online that I've seen yet as something to which one can directly link so how can I abide Wikipedia's rules but still create the reference so Palaye Royale will get the recognition they deserve? Mountainsofcheesecake (talk) 17:40, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi there, thanks for the message. I had a look at the video on YouTube before I reverted your edit. I couldn't see any reference to Rosenheim Mansion on that video (not on the video description). Have you had a look around for any other places this would be referenced? Knitsey (talk) 17:45, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
I'm also unsure if the edit would stand anyway as the band isn't notable in terms of Wikipedia. Knitsey (talk) 17:46, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
The mansion isn't mentioned by name in the video (it's a music video for the band, doubt they'd mention the filming locations) but anyone who's ever seen the mansion before (film or real life) can tell it's the same mansion, hence I wanted to refer to the video as an appearance of the mansion in media. Mountainsofcheesecake (talk) 19:57, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
The few seconds of the outside could be the same building but there is nothing to indicate it was filmed there. If you do find any reference to it then by all means come back and see if it's suitable.
What you could also do is try and create an article about the band? I don't know if anyone has tried creating an article for them before? I can pop some notes and links on you talk page if you like? Knitsey (talk) 20:05, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi there,

I am the owner of the image, can you please let me know how it can be properly copyrighted and added to the page? Undergirl422 (talk) 04:33, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

"I've left you a conflict of interest notice on your user talk page. It has all of the instructions. Knitsey (talk) 17:08, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]"
This is the info I need for the Kristin Fairlie page. Thank you. Undergirl422 (talk) 04:34, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
You will need to ask at Wikipedia:Teahouse. Knitsey (talk) 04:35, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

A cupcake for you!

I know I'm a month late, but all I wanted to say is, welcome back to Wikipedia! I'm glad that you returned ;) 🛧Midori No Sora♪🛪 ( ☁＝☁＝✈) 06:00, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
Awww, thank you me lovely. It's nice being back, well, it's nice most of the time. Glad you're still here. Knitsey (talk) 06:02, 24 August 2024 (UTC)

Rollback, Twinkle, etc, Pro-tip

Hi. Whilst I appreciate your anti-vandalism work, as we all should do, I offer the following observation. When you write in an edit summary, "DanCherekTheBast*rd", "Fetishise Asians or Hate Asians - Your Choice", Dickcheese McSmegmahole, JOOST KLEIN CAME TO MY HOUSE AT 330am., or indeed this, many admins will spend some time cleaning up after the vandal, then subsequently spend an equal amount of time cleaning up after you. Much denial of recognition is achieved by not repeating their slurs. Rollback, useful but overrated. HTH. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Hi zzuuzz Do you mean not to use rollback? Knitsey (talk) 22:57, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Let me phrase your question this way. Should I write something abusive in edit summary? Answers below. -- zzuuzz (talk) 22:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Are you saying I shouldn't revert? Knitsey (talk) 23:01, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
No, I'm saying you should think about your edit summary. And yes if rollback offers you no choice but to write something abusive, do something else. Remove the text, use the undo button while changing the default summary, use Twinkle's restore function, manually revert, or something else, just don't write abuse in the edit summary. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:06, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
OK, I'm still lost. I didn't write anything abusive. I would rarely write anything in response to vandalism edits as it feeds the trolls. Especially not to the LTAs that are about at the moment.
I did once write in an edit summary that 'the 1950s called and they want you back' in response to an edit using the word 'negro'. But I didn’t write anything in hose edit summaries. I'm obviously not getting it, I'm sorry. Knitsey (talk) 23:14, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Oh hang on, by 'writing something abusive' do you mean the automated inclusion of the user name? Knitsey (talk) 23:15, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
I think we're getting through. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:20, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
ffs zzuuzz lol. Firstly, I do apologise, I didn't realise that using rollback would cause more problems with abusive names. No excuses, I should have realised that and I will make sure I manually revert in future when it comes to 'dubious' names. Secondly, you could have just said, anyone reading this might think I've been abusive towards users, and apart from probably 3 or 4 times using a polite, humorous response, I don't use abusive summaries. Thank you for letting me know, I appreciate it. Knitsey (talk) 23:27, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
zzuuzz if its OK, I have a question about the LTA that usually uses ip's, the one that is writing the long messages. Is reverting them still OK? I notice they (or a copycat) has started creating accounts again. The account names, so far, are innocuous. Or should I just leave them and report to AIV. Knitsey (talk) 23:42, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
The one posting to the admin boards? They're usually reported to AIV/TB2, so you may want to check that, but reporting them is no harm. At this point I'll take the opportunity to point to WP:BRI, as opposed to WP:RBI. In other words, blocking is probably a higher priority than reverting. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:46, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Yes that one. Mostly I've just been reporting to AIV. The tp's they have created, I've just been requesting G8 without leaving a message on their tp after reporting. Knitsey (talk) 23:53, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Well there's no point warning them, that's for sure. Getting the message doesn't appear to be their thing. But there's no harm in duplicating bot reports. A lot of duplication and redundancy happens a lot, and there are redundant things that are duplicated and happen a lot, but it's often soon cleared up. -- zzuuzz (talk) 23:58, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
Ahh, that was my next question. When edit filters are adjusted then the bot reports but I have sometimes duplicated it with 'LTA' just to make sure admins are aware it's them. Good to know. Thanks again. Knitsey (talk) 00:01, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

Skateboarding problem

Heya. The disruptive editor Scampi62 seems to be ignoring our warnings and advice. I've raised it to the CVU Libera chatroom but haven't received any reply. I see you reverted some of his latest edits but I'm worried he will come back with more. How should we do to resolve this? Scuffedsherm (talk) 13:48, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

I'm giving them chance to reply then off to edit waring noticeboard. Knitsey (talk) 13:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
I don't want to go over 3RR myself. Knitsey (talk) 13:52, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
In fact, looking at their reply on the TP I'm thinking they are a sock puppet. Knitsey (talk) 13:53, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Very much so, their account was created today. Scuffedsherm (talk) 13:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
I've left a message for the admin who dealt with someone pretty similar yesterday, who turned out to have created a few sockpuppet accounts. Wait and see what they say. Knitsey (talk) 14:02, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Alright, thank you. Scuffedsherm (talk) 14:05, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Signature broken

I think your signature is broken. It links to User:Knitsey(she/her), not User:Knitsey. jlwoodwa (talk) 18:45, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Oph, is that better? Knitsey (talk) 18:47, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
Yep, that works. (If you want to keep she/her in your signature, you could write something like [[User:Knitsey|Knitsey (she/her)]].) jlwoodwa (talk) 18:55, 31 August 2024 (UTC)
I might try that later. It took me long enough to change the colours lol. I should be embarrassed by that but hey, I'm an old git. Thank you though for letting me know about it. Knitsey (talk) 18:57, 31 August 2024 (UTC)

Orphaned article

Hi, and thanks for your edits to try to de-orphan articles. On Wikipedia, an "orphan article" is an article that no other article links to. No other articles link to Christiane Wolf, for example. You added links to other articles from Christiane Wolf, but it is still an orphan, and to de-orphan it, we would need to link to Christiane Wolf from another article. Thanks, Wikishovel (talk) 14:48, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Aargh! I completely missed that. I thought that because she is in some of the Categories then the article could be de-orphaned? But you're saying categories don't count for de-orphaning? Knitsey (talk) 15:04, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
If I add her to the Bielefeld article under notable people then that would count? Knitsey (talk) 15:06, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
That's right, categories don't count, and neither do disambiguation pages. But yes, Bielefeld is a good idea. Wikishovel (talk) 15:20, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Ffs I'm such a numpty. Ok thank you so much. I will make sure I check in future. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction. Knitsey (talk) 15:32, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
Ha, no you're not. We're all learning here. :-) Wikishovel (talk) 15:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
I know, I'm just annoyed at myself for not picking up on the category thing. If you spot any more errors then please do let me know. I've no problem with being pointed in the right direction. Knitsey (talk) 15:41, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Edits

just seriously though what reference do I need for a very very common opinion Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:03, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

i would just want to know because I think we both know that it is true 👍 Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:05, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
Hi there, I'm sure there will be something in local press that might help? Maybe it's won an award at some point? Have a look and see what you find. If you want assistance with inserting a reference then pop back here and I will see if I can help?
Could I also point you in the direct Wikipedia:Civility. Being rude isn't the way to go on Wikipedia.
Let me know if you find a ref. Knitsey (talk) 16:08, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

i am not being rude but I just think that you can't really get a reference for a common held belief like i said there is no factual reference for religion either and that is on Wikipedia Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:14, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

Huddersfield isn't a biggie. But the other edit that you made is. I'm sure if you have a look around for a reference (as you believe it's such a commonly held belief) you should be able to find something.
As for our numerous articles on religion, you will see that there are scholarly citations for the opinions being expressed. Knitsey (talk) 16:20, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
What is wrong with this opinion But to ask would the countries gdp be good enough as they are higher than the rest of Europe. I'm 13 I'm probably not going to read every term and condition but I do appreciate the response which seemed more real than earlier Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:22, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
if gdp isn't good enough what would be Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:23, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
I think that you could always ask on the article talk page? I would frame your question so that it includes the text you want to add but ask what type of reference would be suitable? Say what you've already said here about GDP. Everyone here is a volunteer so you might need to wait for a response. Wikipedia is a collaborative project, so I would suggest getting the opinion of more than one editor. Link Talk:Western Europe Knitsey (talk) 16:32, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
on Wikipedia itself on the economy of Europe page it says that the gap per capita is higher in western countries more millionaires too Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:33, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
ok how do I insert a reference is it difficult? (I might not bother if it is) Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:34, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
What I would suggest is, have a look here Wikipedia:Edit requests then pop over to the talk page and state the exact text you want to add along with the reference and someone will take it from there. It's probably the easiest way. If the text is suitable then they will add it for you along with the reference. Just say your new so could someone do it for you. Knitsey (talk) 16:38, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
Ok might try it another time didn't realise it was taken so seriously but thanks for the help and deference Henryjmanhol (talk) 16:44, 10 September 2024 (UTC)

user:Chikaikaisaga, the cheeky Sonofa-
