Thanks for the insight at my user Talk page! I will try doing so- now onwards. FindMeLost (talk) 03:51, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting that user - BollyBoeuf. I'm pretty sure it will turn out to be Technoquat messing around, per this peculiar mention. - Sitush (talk) 21:02, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

asked for CU after blocking the account. Nthep (talk) 22:02, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

No idea why. - hahnchen 11:21, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

If you want a bigger logo then fine but replace the non-free use rationale with a PD or CC licence and file information. Nthep (talk) 11:46, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

I already updated the licensing here. - hahnchen 11:54, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

and left the NFR in place. It's one or the other. Make it unequivocal about which it is and if it's PD then I'll restore the larger image. Nthep (talk) 12:09, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

You should review image licensing when deleting versions. As I can't revert it anyway, I'll leave it with you. - hahnchen 23:25, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

I've asked for non-free content review on whether PD-textlogo is applicable. Nthep (talk) 09:23, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

I don't understand why you deleted some of my redirects. Those are perfectly plausible redirects; phonetic misspellings and such; many people don't know how to spell the word "backboard". Not everyone knows how to use autofill, either, so I think the redirects should stay. - A window cleaner me (talk) 16:47, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Seriously we don't create redirects to cover every possible eventuality. Also the search engine picks up grammatical similarities like "back board" and "back-board" in any event. Nthep (talk) 16:54, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

No, it does not. See back board (basketball) for an example. - A window cleaner me (talk) 16:57, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Search for "back-board" and the first result is your redirect Shattering the back board. You have to assume a reasonable level of readership and not worry about all the permutations. Nthep (talk) 17:02, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

What is the harm done in having a redirect to the right page? Redirects are cheap. - A window cleaner me (talk) 17:03, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

They are cheap but you don't need 40+ where the variations between each are so minor and the software will catch most searches that are close. Nthep (talk) 17:05, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

The software really doesn't catch instances in which there is a space between the words back and board. But have as you will. - A window cleaner me (talk) 17:12, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

No strong opinions here, I don't know if there's a relevant style guide for military biographies. The current "William Winter (medical officer)" title was mine, and may not be ideal - I just moved it there from the original William Winter (Major William Winter ) yesterday. --McGeddon (talk) 12:45, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

looks like originator is going on a bit of a redirect spree about his relative. I think WAW avoids any need to distinguish and is an easy link on the William Winter disambig page. Nthep (talk) 12:49, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Sure, sounds good, looks like none of the other William Winters have that middle name. --McGeddon (talk) 13:03, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Huh??? Nthep (talk) 14:33, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello Nthep, you had deleted page Riaz Ahmad twice in past. I just want to keep you informed that I have recreated that page as a redirect to Riyaz Ahmad who an Indian politician. Trust this will be ok with you. Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk) 11:10, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

That's fine, new use is perfectly valid. Nthep (talk) 11:17, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Just by way of further information, UnbiasedVictory/Amerijuanican/C_1_J_1_7_L_9_4 was outed as a recurring sock puppet for returning to pages he'd previously haunted and repeating the same behaviours that got him blocked in the first place. This is why he ran afoul and was blocked in progressively shorter spans of time. His contributions under his most recent user name amply demonstrate his insistence on edit-warring  Natty10000 | Natter  03:30, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

I did look at his background and while I think the chances of persuading the stewards are small it doesn't hurt to apply a little bit of AGF and point them in the right direction. Nthep (talk) 13:56, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

The most generous way of describing his description of his behaviour is to say he was prevaricating a bit. In his UV persona, HLGallon and I (and others) cut him all sorts of slack when he introduced bias et al to various articles. That he would not stop as UV spoke to his insistence. That he continued the same path in new personas puts the lie to his claim of having learned from his past errors. IMHO, he abuses the ability to edit Wiki in a serial manner and will continue to haunt his previous articles and do the same again.  Natty10000 | Natter  22:48, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

He probably will but that is no reason not to inform him of how to appeal. Nthep (talk) 22:54, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Not at all. I just wanted to be sure his prevarication was a known quantity.  Natty10000 | Natter  23:08, 18 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Nthep,

I'm trying to upload an image for the Glenn Ivey article. After seeing your tag of the initial upload as replaceable, I found a fair-use image of Glenn Ivey and added it to the article. The Flickr page [1] clearly specifies the license, and the licence states that You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format for any purpose, even commercially. [2] The "No derivatives" aspect applies to transformations, not croppings. I specified, as required in the licence, that I had cropped the image. Thus, this image is fair use, and I request for it to be restored, or to be allowed to re-upload the image without you deleting it again. Thank you. Jw sheridan (talk) 20:08, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

@Jw sheridan: I agree that what you did isn't a derivative but Wikipedia policy is that images do allow others to create derivatives should they wish to do so. As a result any Creative Commons licence with the no derivatives attribute isn't an allowable licence on Wikipedia. Nthep (talk) 20:12, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

@Nthep: That seems surprising to me. I checked for that policy and couldn't find it. Could you please point me to a page that shows why this license isn't acceptable and what would be acceptable? In any case, I believe there is no freer image available, which as far as I understand it grants some leeway -- is that the case? Thanks. Jw sheridan (talk) 21:14, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

@Jw sheridan: Wikipedia:Image use policy#Free licenses is the main place and reinforced at Wikipedia:File copyright tags. Fair us is allowed but only if the image meets all ten of the Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria. The problem with any non-free image of Ivey is that it will fall foul of criterion 1 - "Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose" (my emphasis added); while you might not be able to find a free image of Iver now, one could be created by someone. This is why so many Wikipedia articles about living people are lacking in images. Nthep (talk) 21:31, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

This may be something to do with User talk:Ashton Cable that you blocked. I've mentioned the bizarre editing at WP:ANI#Anyone want to untangle this, um, really really really not here?. Doug Weller talk 17:22, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Andrew Rissik, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Charles Gray and Time Out.

Please nominate yourself at WT:YORKS! New editors are always welcome! Aims After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008. Specific aims for the project are:- To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below) To recruit more active editors (See Member News) To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below) To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised. Priority Articles The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows - Bradford • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first. Happy New Year A Happy New Year to all members of the project.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2016 Challenge Cup, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Kells and Nottingham Outlaws. 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.

I want to publish my article about my programme Akdspd (talk) 20:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

@Akdspd: Please read Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest before trying to create an article and why in any event you should not be the person writing it. Nthep (talk) 20:42, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Why did you delete the article that I made? you never specified where was a problem so i could change it, you just delete it. I am trying to help and you just destroyed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kratosgeek (talk • contribs) 20:58, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

The article was deleted for the reason already given on your talk page - it was promotional in tone and did nothing to establish the notability of the company. Nthep (talk) 21:09, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
