Deletion review at Princess Princep Shah of Nepal
Hi, I'd like to work on Princess Princep Shah of Nepal as I understand it (I could be wrong, this is a first) I need to ask for deleteion review to re-open it and I need to notify you because you closed it. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Princep Shah of Nepal Of course the close was sensible, no arguments to keep came forward, but I think she passes WP:ANYBIO so I think I need to do the deletion review. None of this is a criticism of you, you did the obvious close. So I hope this is not a pain.
Discussion should start here: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2022_August_4

- Hi CT55555, Many thanks for letting me know - I have no qualms with this article being recreated, Anything can change in 7 years and I trust your judgements re her notability etc, Thanks again, –Davey2010Talk 14:31, 4 August 2022 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Mr.choppers | ✎ 21:06, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

. El_C 02:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Look, Davey, you've lost your shit like a million times and been warned about that also like a million times. And while I recognize that you've been doing it less lately, which is good, and that, crucially, your attacks are rarely if ever truly egregious or mean-spirited — even still, telling us that this is just the way you are, is not good enough. Telling us to expect more attacks in the future, even if at a low frequency, that is likewise not good enough. I mean, I appreciate the honesty, but the concern is twofold: 1. Driving users away, maybe not from the project itself, but from various pages. Users may not want to challenge or correct you, even when it's due, simply for not wishing to deal with you potentially going off on them. 2. Related to that is the seeming random nature of the outbursts. It's one thing for these to happen as a consequence of getting worn down by a longstanding, intractable dispute. But it's wholly another for it to seemingly come out of nowhere, over changes that seem relatively unimportant (i.e. the capricious and unpredictable nature of the attacks makes them, or their specter, worse).
Briefly on the specific dispute: neither one of you have consensus, which is now something to be determined. That you didn't notice the change for nearly 2 years, that's on you. Your opponent enjoyed WP:SILENTCONSENSUS throughout much of that time, until you objected, at which point it evaporated. In that sense, neither one of you has an edge over the other wrt consensus. Though I do note that your opponent was edit warring over an image that they, themselves, had uploaded — which can be a red flag, but I don't view as an immediate problem in this instance.
Anyway, obviously I didn't indef you, but I do feel that there needs to be some consequence. Which includes having a record of the misconduct in the block log. I suppose you could argue that's it's a punitive block, but from my perspective, warning you yet again would be giving you tacit license to attack folks with impunity (and again, somewhat randomly/unpredictably). Which is just too WP:UNBLOCKABLE for me. The negative atmosphere it cultivates, by potentially pushing users away from challenging you in the course of normal collaboration — that kind of chilling effect is a problem. It's a problem when folks know there'll be no consequences for you when you attack them, save perhaps yet another warning. So, I'm sorry (truly), but no more warnings. Now it's this. El_C 02:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @El C, That's fair enough, I'll be honest for whatever reason (and as explained on ockstone35s talkpage) I did forget about the whole silent consensus thing, Had I remembered about it I would've stopped edit warring much much sooner but still at the end of the day had I not edit warred I still would've been blocked anyway,
- I also feel I should mention that I've never once believed I was unblockable never - But at the end of the day I was uncivil and I was fairly blocked for it.
- Anyway could I be a pain and ask that the block be changed to Personal attacks and edit warring please? Harassment implies I've followed someone around or kept bugging someone constantly when I haven't, Thanks and thank you for your detailed explanation, Have a great day, Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 11:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hey. Thanks man. Briefly, that's just the default drop-down menu option. So, if we look at your own block log, for example, we can see:
18:32, 6 May 2020 Ivanvector talk contribs block blocked Davey2010 talk contribs with an expiration time of 24 hours (account creation blocked) (Personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy) (unblock change block)
10:46, 21 July 2018 Nick talk contribs block blocked Davey2010 talk contribs with an expiration time of 24 hours (account creation blocked) (Personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy) (unblock change block)
- Hope that clears things up. Thanks again. Cheers! El_C 13:58, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @El C, I swear it never used to say that otherwise I would've had a problem with that 4 years ago lol, Not really happy with it but guess I can query it once I'm unblocked, Anyway thanks for clearing that up and thanks for your help, Take care and have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:20, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- No worries. Personally, I'd emphasize on it being phrased as
Personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy
, as opposed toPersonal attacks and violations of the harassment policy
, if that makes sense. Thanks, hope you have a good weekend. P.S. I'm looking for my cat, Juno, let me know if you see her anywhere. El_C 17:53, 20 August 2022 (UTC)- @El C, Ah true yep that makes sense mate, In my little head I sort of see it as if someone randomly stumbles on my name, views my contribs and then sees my block (or checks out my block log) - they're going to assume I've either been blocked for personal attacks or harassment .... I dunno maybe I'm caring too much, I guess I just dont want it to appear that I've been blocked for harassment when that's not the case, Anyway that's a discussion for 3-4 days lol,
- I'll leave you in peace and harmony now lol, Thanks will do and you have a great weekend too El_C, Haha that did make me laugh :), Take care, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 18:27, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:LDV Convoy orange lights (rear).jpg
Thanks for uploading File:LDV Convoy orange lights (rear).jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:
- Go to the file description page and add the text
{{Di-replaceable fair use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing<your reason>
with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable. - On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.
Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria.

Removal of file deletion tag
Regarding this exchange, Marchjuly is correct. As the uploader, you cannot remove the deletion tag. You may dispute it, and you may post on the tagger's talk page as you did, but you should not remove it. It even has that in big bold letters. -- Whpq (talk) 04:03, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Whpq, In all fairness I never read anything after "These vehicles are still in use. No proper explanation as to why this image is not replaceable" but once you replied depending on what you were going to say I was either going to FFD them or CSD them - Given your reply on your talkpage my next action would've been to CSD them as you know a lot more about images and NFCC then I ever could,
- Obviously there's means and ways of doing things but the "keeping" of those images was never going to be a permanent thing - As I said I didn't want the images deleted before you replied which was the only reason I was insistent of the tags being kept off the files but as I said once you replied I would've then done something about them, I appreciate neither you or MJ would'e known that and I should've also stated that on your talkpage and in the editsum instead of immediately becoming so defensive,
- Anyway I apologise for the unintentional disruption that I caused, Thanks again for your help it's always greatly appreciated, Many Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 12:51, 4 December 2022 (UTC)

Re. Waterloo Road split discussion
I was sorry to see that you didn't approve of my decision to close the split discussion at Talk:Waterloo Road (TV series). As I stated in the result, revisiting the discussion could be fruitful after the BBC has made some announcement on the future of the series, and that might be an opportune time for you to open a new split discussion, if you think that is the best way forward. _MB190417_ (talk) 12:39, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
- Hi @MB190417, I'll be honest I disagree with your close - If anything I felt there ''was'' consensus to move, I also disagreed with the fact you had !voted Support in that discussion and then closed it as No consensus, But apparently I'm the one that cares so meh, I'll start a new RFC at some point, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 13:36, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
Temu flag fixes
Hi, I have posted Talk:Temu (company)#Request for more clean up and removing flag to ask for fixes to the page about Temu (company), the most downloaded app in the United States the last few months. [1] These tiny fixes address the last issues needed to remove the flag. . I have a conflict of interest as an employee of Temu and I would very much appreciate it if you might have time to take a look. Since you are a member of the WikiProject for Internet Culture, I thought you might possibly be interested in this internet cultural moment. [2], [3]. This page is in need of careful expansion in compliance with Wikipedia policy (and there is plenty of press coverage) but getting rid of the last tiny policy violations is a good place to start.
Thanks in advance for your consideration! Snowy2000 (talk) 02:09, 9 February 2023 (UTC)

This newsletter includes two key updates about the Editing team's work:
- The Editing team will finish adding new features to the Talk pages project and deploy it.
- They are beginning a new project, Edit check.
Talk pages project
The Editing team is nearly finished with this first phase of the Talk pages project. Nearly all new features are available now in the Beta Feature for Discussion tools.
It will show information about how active a discussion is, such as the date of the most recent comment. There will soon be a new "Add topic" button. You will be able to turn them off at Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing-discussion. Please tell them what you think.
An A/B test for Discussion tools on the mobile site has finished. Editors were more successful with Discussion tools. The Editing team is enabling these features for all editors on the mobile site.
New Project: Edit Check
The Editing team is beginning a project to help new editors of Wikipedia. It will help people identify some problems before they click "Publish changes". The first tool will encourage people to add references when they add new content. Please watch that page for more information. You can join a conference call on 3 March 2023 to learn more.
