Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Wikipedia, CatCafe. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Wikipedia:

File:Sabontu Belle Gibson 2020.png

Hi! I've deleted this file. You wrote "- It is cc-by-sa-4.0 as: - Author has marked it as "Licence Creative Commons Attribution licence (reuse allowed)" at source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDD2x9xvscw 2 - Additionally it is also 'fair use' ...", but neither of those statements is correct. As you can see in the Ethiopian video, it uses clips of Australian footage; the image was taken from here (identifiable in the Ethiopian vid), and that page is clearly marked "© 2020 ABC". There's no possibility of fair use for portraits of living people because they automatically fail WP:NFCCP#1: "No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose" – there's nothing to stop somebody going and taking a new, free photo of someone who's still alive. Sorry for the long explanation, (talk) 22:58, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

No, I appreciate the detailed explanation Justlettersandnumbers. Much better than a delete and no-explain. Gives me something to ponder and troubleshoot next time I'm seeking an image. Thanks CatCafe (talk) 23:04, 25 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CatCafe! Sorry to do this to you, but we have two problems with the clipping. The first is that Trove does not override the copyright held by the owners of content in their collections - under their terms of use, they expect us as re-users to confirm that we have permission to reuse content. The second is that Wikipedia can only accept some CC licenses, and cannot accept CC-by-NC: Wikipedia can only accept images which are allowed for commercial reuse. - Bilby (talk) 09:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Bilby Please stop stalking other editors on and off wp. You have been warned about this before. Previously I specifically asked you not to communicate with me as a courtesy (as some find your editing and tracking behaviour threatening) and I am disapointed you have ignored that. I am also additionally concerned of your on wp actions which endeavour to out other editors as per your post on Talk:Thomas John Flanagan page and I request that you desist and do not engage further.

List of unproven methods against COVID-19

Re "I think we're all quite aware that page content is based on bullsh!t", , you're quite right. WP:MEDRS says we actually need medrs citations to say that the treatments are ineffective, unproven, etc., and the template is flagging the need for such citations, though I can see why the template might be misinterpreted. Such citing is suprisingly doable, as assorted public health authorities have been putting out an endless stream of warnings against unproven treatments. On a technical note, the {{More medical citations needed}} tag flags the whole article as needing more MEDRS cites throughout, while {{medrs}} is an inline tag for tagging the need for a citation at a particular place, for a particular fact.

Thank you very much for paying attention to this page, it really needs it. It is not even faintly keeping up with the rumourmill. HLHJ (talk) 20:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking for some support

Hi, Greetings,I was looking for some support in following areas.

If any of above topics interest you, then pl. do contribute towards expansion of the same. Specially looking for Yasmine Mohammed point of views with refs available, if any. Thanks and warm regards Bookku (talk) 11:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes cheers, will have a look when time permits. Also noted you pinged user:Alhill42 , that's good, as she knows more about Yasmine Mohammed than I do. Thanks for your message. CatCafe (talk) 11:47, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Lot of thanks, would be keenly waiting for your support to the article. Warm regards. Bookku (talk) 12:27, 19 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, Bookku I 'was' happy to help you with the article but I got reprimanded twice for various things on the page, including suggesting others were being disruptive there. Didn't realise that calling one out for being disruptive was as insulting as using four-letter-words, that's a learning experience for me. Anyway any edits I do make there will be minor such as tweaking reference formats etc, avoiding content edits. All the best, CatCafe (talk) 01:16, 23 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi CatCafe, thanks for going back over the page. See you reverted some of the text re Restaurateur/chef and I don't have a problem with that but I just want to point out that the first and second references don't exist. The 5th reference doesn't mention him. So I was going to remove the unsourced text but first wanted to run it by you. Also, lovely to meet you! MaskedSinger (talk) 14:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

MaskedSinger Yes sure, cheers. I retrieved the archive of the 2nd one, removed the 5th and the text relating to the 5th. With regards to the first, I trust it exists and was in the inflight magazine, but not on the web. CatCafe (talk) 14:31, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Ok great. Glad I first ran it by you! MaskedSinger (talk) 14:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Targeting unrelated editors in edit summaries

Hi CatCafe, I gave you a truthful explanation of the reason behind that edit summary. Honestly, it shouldn't matter, as you should not be editing my comments over my objections (WP:TPO). If you'd like to talk it through more, I'd be happy to do so, but please do stop moving my comments. Firefangledfeathers (talk) 01:37, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Firefangledfeathers, Then I suggest you stop making such errors in your edit summaries and thus targeting others with your criticism. Your manner of dropping other unrelated editors names in your edit summaries is unwelcome and may be seen as WP:HARASSMENT. CatCafe (talk) 02:37, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
If you know that Wisefroggy feels harassed, I would definitely apologize to them. Do you think I should do so preemptively? I will try to stop making errors. Has it become a "manner", in the sense that I've done it more than once? Firefangledfeathers (talk) 02:49, 22 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Images of Australian politicians

Hi, I've just reverted your re-insertion of images of three Australian politicians. The admin at commons messed up, probably as I wasn't clear enough in the speedy deletion nominations. These are images which cannot possibly have been created by members of the public, and appear to have been taken from the official parliamentary broadcast or news reports. The Kimberley Kitching image even included the labelling for politicians the official parliamentary broadcast uses. The images are obviously not the property of some random YouTube channel. I have re-nominated them for deletion on Commons. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 01:41, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

OK Nick-D, I will trust that you sort that issue out via Commons. CatCafe (talk) 02:33, 29 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of edit warring noticeboard discussion

Information icon Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion involving you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring regarding a possible violation of Wikipedia's policy on edit warring. Thank you. Newimpartial (talk) 00:29, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Stop icon with clock
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for edit warring and violating the three-revert rule, as you did at Kathleen Stock. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.
During a dispute, you should first try to discuss controversial changes and seek consensus. If that proves unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Bbb23 (talk) 02:03, 13 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Bbb23: Is this block an arbitration enforcement action? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 11:17, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
@Ritchie333: No.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:24, 14 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Hey @Ritchie333:, I wish to edit my userpage as I've there has been attempts to out me. But Bbb23 has blocked me from editing anything apart from this talkpage - and they only changed that after you had a word to them. It's massive overreach on Bbb23's part. CatCafe (talk) 22:44, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
That's not true. I issued a normal block for one week, meaning you've had Talk page access the entire time. As for me changing "that", I didn't change anything and nothing Ritchie said caused me to change anything. He asked a question above (not sure why actually), and I answered it. That's it. What do you need done to your userpage?--Bbb23 (talk) 22:50, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I'd ask you to mind your own business relating to my outing Bbb23 - fishing for info is inappropriate at this point in time. You blocked me from editing my userspace, please restore that. CatCafe (talk) 23:02, 18 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The bait

Don't take the bait. Even when you're facing an editing gang-bang ... no article is worth being blocked. You'll discover that as time passes and more editors become aware of a subject, those editors who are not packing a vested interest will find their way to an article that is currently being "massaged". Pyxis Solitary (yak). L not Q. 07:47, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This is good advice, CatCafe. Avoiding violating 3RR may mean text may stay a bit longer in the short run, but it does get fixed in the long run. Plus it gives other editors an opportunity to revert and express their disagreement. Crossroads -talk- 17:31, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Pyxis Solitary & Crossroads Thanks. CatCafe (talk) 06:40, 17 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
