Arriva Shires & Essex

I spent much time on the Arriva Shires & Essex article, improving the format and details of references and updating a few of the photos. You have reverted the article to a state in which its photos show no bus more recent than 2009, no photograph taken since 2011 and no publishers named in the citations. Citation templates include a parameter for publishers because they should be named.

An article about a bus operator can include some photos of older vehicles to illustrate the company's history. But it should also include recent ones of recent vehicles to represent its current operations. Thanks to you, this article no longer does.

The photos that I removed ranged in quality from mediocre to poor. The ones that I added in their stead are better quality. I say that not out of vanity because I took two of them, but entirely objectively. The photo of a Green Line coach with an over-exposed sky is particularly grotty.

Even the photo in the infobox is inadequate. The subject is entirely in shade, the background entirely sunlit and the bus is 18 years old. I am sorry I did not find a better one on Wikimedia Commons to replace it.

Why do you want to exclude good quality photos of Arriva the Shires buses built in 2014 and 2015 and photographed in 2016 and 2017? What you have done is quite unconstructive. It serves neither Wikipedia nor its readers.

Motacilla (talk) 20:48, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Motacilla, My apologies, My main issues were the image changes, The images you added IMHO looked awful, I have no objections to image replacements providing they're better than what their replacing .... however that all being said I should've replaced the images instead of reverting all of your edits and so I apologise for that, I've obviously since self reverted (except for the images), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:02, 22 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

User talk pages with inapprorpiate expressions

JYI, I started checking the pages I requested to be checked recently in AN. I have sent many for MfD and for speedy deletion. It turns, the pages are being deleted and the number of racist/sexist expressions is being reduced. Any help is appreciated though. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:06, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Magioladitis Consensus was to leave the pages well alone so stop meddling and find something productive to do. –Davey2010Talk 15:11, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I think the problem was not to go and revdel. Removing vandalism / racism / sexism is well accepted practise. -- Magioladitis (talk) 15:12, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Magioladitis - You're removing comments made in 2009! .... Whilst I don't condone anyone calling another editor "a nigger faggot" or "cunt" at the same time these comments were made over 10 years ago .... In my eyes you're wasting your time and and your focusing all of your energy on something pointless and which could be better spent on improving articles, Stop with the removal and seek consensus for your removals.Davey2010Talk 15:15, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Magioladitis FWIW some of the stuff you've deleted has been vile and I whole heartedly support the removals but others not so much, FWIW I do agree and I don't agree on it but I can't stop you nor am I going to ANI over it but it might be better to get consensus so that way people can have their say, I will say not all of your removals have been bad and some I would've removed myself .... but for me I just feel like you could be better spending your energy on articles which is the whole point of this site, As I said I'm not going to stop you if you honestly believe removing 10-15yo "nigger" and "cunt" comments is the best use of your time then by all means carry on. –Davey2010Talk 15:24, 23 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Migrants sponsored banking (MSB) system: NRB bank for Bangladesh is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Migrants sponsored banking (MSB) system: NRB bank for Bangladesh (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 23:18, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Watch out for those Discretionary Sanctions!

Hi, Davey. About this edit, where you reinstated something that had been deleted: I know you are aware that the Trump article is under Discretionary Sanctions. And I know you know what that means, since you were reminded just a couple of months ago. When you reinstated "material that had been challenged via reversion" you violated those sanctions. The reinstatement has been reverted again, so I guess you could say "no harm no foul", but be more careful in the future. As you know, any administrator can give you a block on sight for this kind of edit. And now that you have been reminded, that is more likely to happen if there is a next time. --MelanieN (talk) 19:51, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MelanieN, Thanks for your message, I hope all is well with you and yours,
Will do, I wasn't actually aware MrX had added it I just assume it was already in the article and Mark was reverting but ofcourse i'll tread carefully in future, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:20, 16 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

AnI thread

I object to your closing my AnI thread prematurely and I don't agree with your summing up. You stifled debate on whether an administrator can be held to account for their actions, with most of the points I raised hardly being considered. Nor did you give a chance to editors in other time zones to participate. I'm not asking you to reopen the thread, but I don't like to see the actions and behaviour of this administrator tolerated by the community. Bullying in the workplace is widely condemned. Why should it be acceptable in Wikipedia? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 05:57, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I agree admins should be held accountable .... if they've done those things .....If I disagree with any admins actions I will say so .... but in this case I'm not seeing anything remotely bad or "unwise", Without sounding desrepectful we have five million & six hundred articles - It might be better to focus your time and energy in an article as opposed to an ANI thread that just isn't going to happen, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 12:23, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Well, Well

I see your instructions that you will reply on my talk page, but there wasn't a discussion on my talk page. There was a rant that you deleted (and that Alex deleted). I see that there was mention of competency, and a lack of that is among the reasons why that user should stay banned. I don't know why they chose to rant on my talk page. Obviously they have something against FPaS, and I was simply one of various people saying that FPaS is sometimes right. Oh well. Robert McClenon (talk) 19:36, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Robert McClenon, Apologies but you've lost me inregards to the instructions part - I don't believe I've left an instruction?, I simply saw an IP adding a huge chunk of content with something about crime proceedings so I simply rollbacked without remotely looking at it, Obviously when I did look I read the first few lines and released it was some sad IP with a grudge ....., Apparently the IP was "Vote for change" and If you've interacted with them previously then that could be why they picked you ... if on the otherhand you haven't then no idea sorry, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 20:09, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I know who Vote X for Change is, in the sense that I know that they are a long-time disruptive editor. I don't know much more about them or care to know much more. I think that the rant that you deleted was the second copy. A previous version of the rant had been left about an hour earlier and deleted by Alex Shih. My comment about instructions was only that the instructions on this talk page say to reply on my talk page if you had started the discussion there. But you didn't start a discussion; you erased a rant. Oh well. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:00, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No apology required, except by the troll, and they won't. Robert McClenon (talk) 22:00, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Okie dokie happy editing –Davey2010Talk 22:03, 8 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like all of us to get along

Hi Chris troutman, Thanks so much!, I absolutely agree it's easy to argue but it's certainly a lot harder to back away, After your message on the talkpage I begun to realise I wasn't helping to resolve the problem I infact was making it worse and worse and worse and in some respects just digging myself a deeper whole, Anyway thanks for being DRN for a day lol - Thanks for resolving that as well as for your olive branch here, Take care and thanks again, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:06, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Heidi Klum citizenship

Hi! I just wanted to query why you reverted my edit on Heidi Klum's page. You said it was because it was unsourced, but I was under the impression that you don't need to provide a source in the infobox if the information was already sourced elsewhere in the article? For example, her birth date and marriage dates aren't sourced again in the infobox. Thanks. —Abbyjjjj96 (talk) 22:44, 9 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Abbyjjjj96, I'm so sorry!, I checked the top lede paragraph as well as her personal life and found nothing .... God knows how I missed that but anyway I've self reverted - Thanks for your message, Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 00:46, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything worth merging to main page. Have not had one objection when asked. Govvy (talk) 19:19, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Personally I feel some of the content should be merged, Ofcourse I don't expect the whole article to be merged however some of it should be, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 21:21, 11 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, noticed that my edit was removed here and all the previous ones before that as well. Can you please explain why? Gotitbro (talk) 14:54, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Gotitbro, I self reverted a minute after reverting you?, But anyway apologies - I originally reverted as I thought you were removing cites/essentially blanking but upon reverting I then realised you wasn't ...., Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:04, 16 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/We All Get Lighter (2nd nomination)

I have no dispute with you reverting my non-admin closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/We All Get Lighter (2nd nomination), but I will point out that I nominated the article for total deletion and then accepted someone else's recommendations to redirect instead. And I have observed other nominators do the same before the 7 days are up. Perhaps are procedural rush on my part, but you might as well revert your reversion tomorrow. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 13:22, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Doomsdayer520 - I myself used to be an avid AFD closer until this happened, and then this happened ..... (and then a huge discussion on AFD closures happened which I can't seem to find) - Point is I absolutely agree your closure was fine however when you close one early you basically end up closing more early which all goes against #1 of WP:CLOSEAFD which states and I quote "A deletion discussion should normally be allowed to run for seven full days (168 hours).", Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 13:48, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback

How ironic is it that you use the rollback tool to remove a notice (about the removal of rollback) on another user's talk page? @User:Huon Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 02:34, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sportsfan 1234, I'm assuming you've never heard of accidental rollback by watchlist before ?, Also just to note I was just about to apologise on your talkpage but seeing as you've come here I apologise!. –Davey2010Talk 02:41, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
