You'll be glad to know I have read the references you cite, you might like to re-read them yourself! Regards, Jeremy (talk) 04:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC) you say "vandalism," consensus says "good faith" Hey Yorkshirian, if you keep calling good faith edits vandalism you will sooner or later get blocked. This is still some ways from happening but you can't keep doing this without stirring up all kinds of woe. This is a description of what's called vandalism on Wikipedia. Edits you don't agree with, edits you think are stupid or clumsy, unsourced or boneheaded, are not vandalism, even if they seem so amazingly dumb to you that so far as you care, they are vandalism. Nobody is asking you to change your way of thinking, only your way of editing. You can think of all Wikipedia as one big docking act of vandalism but please, don't describe good faith edits as vandalism in edit summaries or on talk pages. Keep it to yourself, you'll get a lot more done here. All the best to you! :) Gwen Gale (talk) 09:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC) WikiProject Yorkshire - June 2008 Newsletter Delivered June 2008 by ENewsBot.

You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:07, 8 June 2008 (UTC) Orphaned non-free media (Image:LeedsCityArms.png) Thanks for uploading Image:LeedsCityArms.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media). If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

This notice is to inform you that a Request for Arbitration has been filed regarding the ongoing cultural dispute between yourself and several other editors. The Arbitration Committee will decide on whether this case should be heard and pursued. Thank you. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 20:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC) TfD nomination of Template:HS LL in Yorkshire Template:HS LL in Yorkshire has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — MRSC • Talk 17:38, 26 June 2008 (UTC) Your personal attacks on other editors I have copied this message from the principal talk page which alerted me to this (Talk:Association of British Counties‎) I note the personal attacks you have made in this discussion. I took a look at your editing history today as a result, and found numerous examples of bad-faith assumptions in material you have edited and edit summaries, including an allegation on a TfD comment that was certainly unacceptable. I am advising you publically now that if you persist in doing this, you will be blocked until you give an undertaking to stop your personal attacks. I will copy this message to your talk page. If you feel the need to send a message to me, it should necessarily include as a major part of it words to the effect of "I apologize" and "I promise not to indulge in personal attacks again", and such sentiments should also be included in messages you leave to the editors you have treated like this.  DDStretch  (talk) 22:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC) I have blocked you indefinately, given your response on my talk page in the light of all your previous noted acts of personally attacking others. Until and unless you are prepared to give an undertaking to stop doing so, I will not lift the block. I will inform the RfC and the Arbcom procedings about this.  DDStretch  (talk) 08:09, 27 June 2008 (UTC) Request for Unblock 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). Yorkshirian (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Request reason: DDStretch has violated the Wikipedia:Banning policy by banning me indefinetly because he does not agree with my personal stances.[1] He claims his reason for blocking me is "personal attacks" and "harassment" despite providing absoutely no diffs to prove either. And in fact on his talkpage, I pointed out to him that I was being harrassed.[2] On the basis that DDStretch has gone through non of the proper channels and is blatantly discriminating against me, I request to be unblocked. This user is a completey inexperienced admin (only gaining powers last week) and is apparently not familiar with any of our policies, in light of that his mistake can be forgiven once the block is lifted. - Yorkshirian (talk) 08:16, 27 June 2008 (UTC) Decline reason: I was considering doing something similar to this myself and I am completely uninvolved. The indef remains until the community decides what it wants to do about you. — ViridaeTalk 08:36, 27 June 2008 (UTC) 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.
