==Speedy deletion of a photo== |
|||
Hello! I saw that you said one of the pictures I uploaded does not follow the copyright criteria. While uploading the picture, I didn't realize that it wasn't my picture since all the pictures in my gallery are kept together and not in different files. I would like to delete the photo but I'm not sure how to do that so could you please tell me. I'm extremely sorry for the inconvenience. |

Choux Pastry
Dear Belbury,
I was wondering if you could provide some insight into why my edit on Choux Pastry was removed. I took the time to write in the talk section and included a reliable source to support my claims. I made sure to use language that was not categorical, stating that "some historians believe" instead. I would appreciate any feedback you could provide on this matter. Thank you. 77.205.18.191 (talk) 14:29, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't know which edit you're referring to, as your IP address had never edited that article.
- If you're interested in working on this article, I would suggest creating an account - or, if you are the user Xiaomichel evading their block - requesting an unblock. Belbury (talk) 14:56, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Request
Belbury, If all you do on Wikipedia is play gotcha with paid editors, could you please let me update the Hank the Tank article? Literaturegirl (talk) 17:29, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
- @Literaturegirl: Sorry about that! I'm done for now, I was just updating the facts and references for the bear's current location. It's all yours. Belbury (talk) 17:34, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
FYI, while that editor has made few edits here outside of user space, they’re a regular editor on the Italian Wikipedia. I think they’re building the article here in good faith. —A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 14:39, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- @A. B.: The page is about an entirely fictional character in their FIFA video game team, they removed the footnote clarifying this. I'm sure they don't mean any harm and probably don't intend to publish it to mainspace or push to restore the copyvio screenshot, but it looked like a CSD U5 to me if that's all they're doing here at enwiki. --Belbury (talk) 14:48, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks for catching this!

For creating the very surpringly missing from Wikipedia musical statues article. -- NotCharizard 🗨 14:22, 21 September 2023 (UTC) |
- Thanks, but I was just bringing it back from deleted draft purgatory, with a bit of a polish. Nobody had bothered to give it any sources since 2005, and it got draftified and then archived as stale in 2021.
- I was surprised to see the redlink and requested that the draft be restored so that I could find some (obviously very easily located) references for it. Belbury (talk) 14:26, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
Edit summaries
Sometimes it's just a small but not minor edit or I don't know what to write for the summary. CurryCity (talk) 09:38, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Unfinished 1 Leadenhall Street promotional image.jpg
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/32px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Unfinished 1 Leadenhall Street promotional image.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free use disputed|<your reason>}}
below the original replaceable non-free 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. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
This bot DID NOT nominate any of your contributions for deletion; please refer to the history of each individual page for details. Thanks, FastilyBot (talk) 10:00, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free image File:Unfinished 1 Leadenhall Street promotional image.jpg
![⚠](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/34/Ambox_warning_blue.svg/35px-Ambox_warning_blue.svg.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Unfinished 1 Leadenhall Street promotional image.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 17:53, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
Bin Weevils
The website is called Bin Weevils Rewritten. The website is still available! --212.140.252.242 (talk) 15:06, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
- Thanks, but it needs a source to confirm that that's an official reboot rather than a fan project. Raise it at Talk:Bin Weevils if you like. Belbury (talk) 15:12, 29 September 2023 (UTC)
Oromo article edit warring
Please see the Oromo article as there is an edit war going on between two users over an image to put for the main information box on the Oromo people. Cookiemonster1618 (talk) 15:50, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Cookiemonster1618: See Wikipedia:Edit warring#What to do if you see edit-warring behavior for advice on how to deal with that. Belbury (talk) 16:11, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
Omaze edit reversion
Thank you for reverting my edit on Omaze. I now realize it didn't make the article better in any way. I'm still new to editing wikipedia, so I'll try to be more constructive when revising articles in the future. LeviEdits (talk) 18:47, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
WTAE-TV Letter for Ricki and Copper
The photo that you deleted has been part of the Ricki and Copper page for over two decades. It demonstrates how children were invited to appear on the show, carries the signature of the star of the show, and is therefore relevant to the content. I was simply fixing the color balance of the photo. Bruce.Graham.TV (talk) 19:14, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
- It seems a pretty unremarkable stock letter to me. Belbury (talk) 19:25, 3 October 2023 (UTC)
Faisal71945
I'm sure this is a sock of User:FaisalFilmAndTVFan99, User:FaisalMusicFan99 and others. For more details please see User:Arjayay/Albert. I'd start an SPI but am due at a meeting in 10 minutes. If you want to start an SPI please do so. - Arjayay (talk) 15:35, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- Sure, never heard of the user before, I just saw someone adding an obviously fake TV show to an actor's credits on my watchlist. Will take a look. Belbury (talk) 15:36, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- @Arjayay: Agree that it seems likely from the article overlap (eg. Draft:The Scavengers (London band) vs Draft:The Scavengers (band)) but they've been blocked now anyway. Belbury (talk) 15:43, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
- I'm back now - Thanks for your help - Arjayay (talk) 20:57, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
Anna Turley page
Hi there, I noticed with disappointment that you immediately and summarily tore up a reversion I made today to an earlier page version wherein I had expanded on Ms. Turley and her blame apportioning. I wrote that earlier text because it seemed fair and apt for me to provide context (without comment or editorialising) for her election loss, something she herself was vocal about and is quoted on here. I made no assertions of how influential her disregard for the Redcar voters was in her defeat so not I plead innocent to theorising on that score, I was simply happy to add to the sum of knowledge (with attributions as required). I hope that you will not therefore delete again. 2A00:23C4:9A4:E101:F160:11BD:493C:70CE (talk) 18:09, 17 October 2023 (UTC)
- You can't take an MP's voting record and the area's Leave vote percentage and conclude this must have been the most important factor in the 2019 election.
- Offering to
put this in context
by comparing it to something you think is relevant is also inappropriate. - Wikipedia calls it WP:SYNTH. The article should cite actual analysis. Belbury (talk) 16:14, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
Agnolotti
Hi Belbury,
I think the last IP editing in Agnolotti is sockpuppet of Frukko and not Xiaomichel, and the last good version should be restablished (WikiCleanerBot 9th of October), could you have a look please? Cheers 81.185.168.37 (talk) 16:00, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- You can raise it at WP:SPI or WP:ANI if you think a user is trying to circumvent a block. Belbury (talk) 16:10, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you, done :) but I can not restore the version of 9th of October as the article is protected. 81.185.168.37 (talk) 16:19, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Suggest you raise the disputed content on the talk page if you think it should be included. Belbury (talk) 16:22, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Done, I hope I can have your feedback. 81.185.168.37 (talk) 16:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Hello, I'm sorry to see this person who started this thread falsely accusing me. Xiamichel was banned for sockpuppeting, and I was only banned on the agnolotti channel for edit warring because I removed sentences unsupported by credible sources, but I never used a sockpuppet, unlike Xiamichel. I recall that Belbury had restored the last correct version on June 11, 2023. Agnolotti were not invented in Savoy; that is entirely false. Also, I was not informed of anything until now when I was brought into this discussion. Furthermore, I now see there has been new edit warring, and certain false information has been restored in the article. I kindly request that you take into consideration what I'm stating here. I also want to point out that on the Spanish Wikipedia, Xiamichel and its sockpuppets are contaminating all Italian food articles with false information. --Frukko (talk) 17:37, 20 October 2023 (UTC)
- Done, I hope I can have your feedback. 81.185.168.37 (talk) 16:28, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Rigenera
...
Where else am i supposed to make fake stuff? The sandbox?! I am outraged by this. I get it, Wikipedia is not a wesbite to not host personal stuff even though it's sandbox pages, which I thought mean't "Oh, these pages aren't going to be deleted", but anytime I try to make any sandbox page, it's just: DELETED, DELETED, AND DELETED!! EVEN THOUGH IT'S SANDBOX
Okay, sorry for getting mad, it's just I thought making sandbox pages would make it to where it wouldn't be deleted, but I guess that's false...🦧🦧🦧🦧 BreadGuy1922AUTOMOBILE (talk) 22:58, 23 October 2023 (UTC)
- @BreadGuy1922AUTOMOBILE: Try somewhere like Fandom.com, who are fine with users uploading personal and fake wiki articles. https://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Wiki has a guide on how you can make a whole wiki there about anything you like. Belbury (talk) 08:03, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- I've used fandom for 2 years now. And some fandoms don't take kindly to me making fake stuff on my profile sandbox. So I'm out of options... BreadGuy1922AUTOMOBILE (talk) 16:53, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
- @BreadGuy1922AUTOMOBILE: It's my understanding that people can always make their own, new wikis at Fandom, but I'm not too familiar with the site. You could also try somewhere like https://neocities.org. Belbury (talk) 17:04, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
