AfD fix
I'm curious: what exactly has changed in this set of edits that actually made some sort of difference? I always use Twinkle for AfD noms and I can't see any substantive difference here. If there is something substantive, the Twinkle people need to know about it. Or are they already aware? - Sitush (talk) 20:00, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- There was a lot of [[[[]]]] and {{{}}}}'s but looking at the history it looks as if it was fine before?, The AFD looked malformed so I have absolutely no idea what the hell's happened then? –Davey2010Talk 20:08, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- This was how it looked [1] but when I saved the edit without previewing I hadn't fixed anything, I have no idea but I'll have to keep an eye on it, Thanks for notifying me, –Davey2010Talk 20:11, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
- No probs. I was born profoundly deaf but had a dreadful moment thinking that my eyesight had also gone seriously askew in the space of a few hours! - Sitush (talk) 05:13, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

Strictly speaking
An AfD closure should only be made by a person who can carry out the verdict. Therefore, I added A7 to the delete reason so that we're covered both ways. Feel free to delete this when you've seen it (mind you, you can't before anyway...) 8-) Peridon (talk) 22:39, 7 April 2015 (UTC)

- Hi Peridon, My apologies I simply enjoy helping out here but now I think about it I shouldn't of closed it as such, Meh we all make mistakes here, Anyway thanks for the heads up there :).

Blanking of articles before AfD
Sound advice, but why did it need to be a warning? I think it'll strike the wrong note. :-) Alakzi (talk) 00:37, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- Alakzi - Thanks, I'll admit the warning part was a tad harsh, I was just somewhat worried that the message would be ignored but then again if he blanks and noinates I guess he'd get an official one anyway,
- Anyway thanks for your message - Much appreciated, Thanks and happy editing :) –Davey2010Talk 01:10, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Removing irrelevant content from AFD'd filmographies
Hello. I wanted to comment on my "moronic" removal of irrelevant info from the music group filmographies I AFD'd. Maybe you're right and I shouldn't have done that, but the info didn't belong there, period, so there was no problem with it being removed. I was careful to not "disrupt Wikipedia" to make a point. I did it because there is a problem with another filmography AFD in which one editor refuses to allow removal of any inappropriate content from a ridiculous filmography and then maintains that it should continue existing because it's "too long" to fit in the group's article. I was trying to simply show that none of these music group filmographies I AFD'd needed standalone articles by showing just how much content would remain in the articles after all the inappropriate info was removed. Maybe it wasn't the best course of action but it wasn't done as a result of being "moronic", and I honestly thought it was for the best. You disagree and I respect that; I won't revert your changes. Kpop is just...you have no idea. People will start freaking World War III to keep as much stuff as possible on their favorite group splashed all over Wikipedia. Anyway, thanks for your contributions to the discussions and your overall work on Wikipedia. :) Shinyang-i (talk) 17:00, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- I completely understand but in general your way is considered disruptive unfortunately but meh past is the past as far as I'm concerned :), Anyway thanks for the explanation,Happy Editing. –Davey2010Talk 17:45, 14 April 2015 (UTC)

Usable sources are often present by clicking on/selecting the links in the Find sources template that is atop AfD discussions. I figured I'd let you know this here, rather than at the discussion.

Your revert to Elle Fanning
Hi. You just reverted My edits to Elle Fanning, with reason "Unsourced". You can find the infomation I added, on her IMDb profile ([2]). So I've undone your edit. -- Susith Chandira (Talk) 07:54, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- Susith Chandira Gts - Your additions were unsourced at the time, and IMDb isn't a WP:Reliable source,
- Also I'd recommend when reverting you provide an edit summary - It's there for a reason!, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 13:18, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
- I'm really sorry. I didn't know that IMDb isn't a Reliable source. That's why I undone your edit. If you've wasted your time because of me I'm sorry about that -- Susith Chandira (Talk) 13:34, 22 April 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for the lack of redirect information in the post. Perhaps it would help to add a redirect to the Wikipedia:Notability (astronomical objects)#Dealing with minor planets section? Praemonitus (talk) 17:08, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Praemonitus, It's fine no worries :), Even if the nominator had added a link or specifically stated the redirect article I wouldn't of had any issues :),
- Until now I had no idea "#Dealing with minor planets" existed (I simply opened the link, Saw the essay and then closed it) So perhaps a link to that section is needed so people who aren't familiar with planet-related articles know what they're doing ,
- Anyway thanks and Happy editing :), –Davey2010Talk 17:26, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
This may seem out of the blue, but...
...Have you ever had any desire to be an admin? I'm not saying that I'm going to nominate you any time soon, but I see some qualities in your edits that seem like qualities of a good admin. Steel1943 (talk) 00:19, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Steel1943, Thanks for the compliment :) - I'd love to be an admin but unfortunately I do get annoyed/frustrated very easily & don't have much patience either, Don't get me wrong we all get annoyed here but even IRL if something doesn't go my way I get hacked off easily, At the end of the day I honestly believe me being an admin here would just be a car crash I honestly do,
- But thanks for the compliment/message anyway :),
- Keep up the great work and Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 00:31, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- I can't say that I don't understand you because ... I do. Once upon a time, I wanted to be an admin, then essentially changed my mind. There's a bit of peace of mind knowing that you can screw up, get frustrated, or leave suddenly and not have a magnifying glass pointed at you with thousands of eyes looking into it. I mean heck, I even took a 2-hour WikiBreak today due to frustration (thought it was going to be longer). Yeah, I completely understand! :) Steel1943 (talk) 00:39, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
- Wow I'm genuinely surprised - I don't think I've ever seen you get frustrated on here :),
- That's one thing I have noticed is that nowadays If for instance I'm hacked off and end up telling someone to FO or worse everyone usually knows it's cos I'm angry so no one says a thing which is great,
- I know how you feel - I've gotten to the point before where I felt like "introducing the laptop to the wall" but I find having a cuppa outside is far more calming than losing your shit with an electronic device which you'll regret in an hours time ,
- It's nice tho to have people even on here to understand one another :) –Davey2010Talk 01:59, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Re: [3], paid editing isn't explicitly prohibited, but it is strongly discouraged.

Hi there.
Just wondering why you removed your entry over at AIV? He's clearly only out to make his own complaints - his edit history shows that he's done the same on the EasyJet & Tata articles as well. I've just reverted him again on the CEX page.
I would report him myself, but before I do so, I'd like to know why you reverted yours.
Cheers. Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:16, 2 May 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for running a steamroller through that place.

Hi, Davey2010! I need your help with something. A new editor by the name of Bjcressy (talk · contribs) has been adding unsourced content to a number of BLPs, including the one for Charley Webb. I've already reverted his edits to this article twice, and don't wish to revert a third time (yes, I know BLPs are exempt from 3RR under certain conditions, but I don't think Bjcressy's edits rise to that level...). Could you take a look at the most recent addition(s) to that article from Bjcressy, and determine whether you think they should be reverted or not. (Aside: Oddly, Bjcressy's most recent edits to this article are showing up as "Automatically accepted" when I look at the revision history, which is weird as this new editor does not have "Pending changes reviewer" status...) Anyway, thanks in advance! --IJBall (talk) 02:19, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi IJBall, They're being accept because I think he's reached the stage where the software or whatever thinks his edits are fine when in actual fact they're not?, I'm not sure, You're spot on his additions need sourcing which he's not bothered with so I've slapped an
EW/Unsourced warning on his TP, Not sure it'll do bugger all tho. –Davey2010Talk 02:31, 3 May 2015 (UTC)- Thanks for doing that! I think I may ask at the Help Desk how this editor's edits were "automatically accepted" though, as I don't think that should be happening to a new editor with no "Pending changes reviewer" status... --IJBall (talk) 02:36, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
- You're welcome, Thanks for asking :), For some reason I was able to un-accept his changes despite myself already reverting ?, Perhaps it's a glitch I dunno .... It's Saturday so meh who cares , Anyway thanks and Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 02:48, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

re.: Emma Fuhrman
I put the "issues" label on the article because I was short of time, but the article does have multiple issues. I hurriedly mentioned one or two on the Talk Page, Do you really think the article isn't incomplete, and otherwise flawed, as is? It really does not rate the label saying that a number of things in it should be improved?
(I'm intrigued by the picture of the chicken .. oh nuts I forget its name, but a mouth-watering picture, and if you're ever near New York, ring me up and we'll try to find some.) GcT (talk) 14:17, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi GcT, I actually had no idea the "Issues" tag even existed!, The problem is the tag is completely unhelpful because it doesn't state what issues, How are editors expected to fix these "issues" when they don't even know what the issues are ?,
- Personally I think it's better to tag the article with individual tags as to me it's far more helpful than just one tag.
- Hahaha you can't beat Chicken

Coming clean about comment
Hi, Davey2010,
Listen, we've crossed paths many times over the last few years and as far as I can recall, our interactions have been positive. However, you posted a comment on Talk:Dinnerbone that, to be frank, offended me for the lack of civility. You know, I'm not one to hold grudges or report to AN/I, (like someone hastily did above), but I have developed a forthcoming nature since I took a step away from Wikipedia with semi-retirement to focus on my screenwriting career. I don't want any hard feelings to metastasize, so I wanted to tell you my perspective.
Again, we have had positive interactions in the past and for the most part, you are kind and friendly. I just wanted to present my perspective, is all. DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 01:02, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi DarthBotto, As far as I can remember we've never crossed paths ?, Anyway I apologize for that comment - To be honest it is usually considered a waste of time but that said I could've worded it in a much much nicer way so I apologize for that- Anyway I'm following IAR & have struck it out :)
- Thanks and happy editing, –Davey2010Talk 02:18, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oh yeah, we've commented on a lot of the same talk page threads, though nothing caustic. Thank you for all that- I really appreciate it. If you decide to run for adminship, I'll be happy to throw in my vote. :) DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 02:27, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Ah right perhaps I've just not been paying attention I dunno , You're more than welcome - Thank you for not dragging me to ANI - Why the other idiot didn't bother coming here I'll never know but hey "stuff" happens
- Arr thanks but I'll never go for adminship (See here) but thanks anyway :),
- Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 02:38, 4 May 2015 (UTC)
- Oh, I would never report someone to AN/I over hurt feelings. ;) DARTHBOTTO talk•cont 21:38, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Haha if only everyone was like you - The amount of moronic reports at ANI is beyond stupid - As some friendly advice I strongly suggest ANI at all costs ... or for any noticeboard for that matter . –Davey2010Talk 21:47, 7 May 2015 (UTC)

User issues
I noticed your talk page post, along with @MrX:'s for User:GageSkidmore, with regard to photo uploads. I have encountered this same issue as well. He seems to upload duplicates of photos, likes to replace photos whenever and wherever he can, and never seems to upload a photo to the commons, and uses incorrect licenses. In some cases, such as Carly Fiorina presidential campaign, 2016, he insists on using his upload (not on commons either) as the campaign logo for the page, even though I stressed that his version isn't used anywhere in her campaign material as yet. This seems to be a recurring theme with this user. He also literally never explains his actions in his edits. His talk page is filled with complaints, and I think it amounts to disruptive editing. I'd like to see where you may stand on this, as to whether he should be reported and/or blocked. Thanks, Spartan7W § 23:59, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Spartan7W - At the end of the day I honestly feel he ought to be blocked for it, It's WP:SELFPROMOTION, His name and the flickr image are all included in the other uploads so why would he wanna reupload just with "Gage Skidmore" on the end ?, He's been uploading to commons too and 2 of his files are up for deletion - I thought about nominating all of his images but I'm not nominating 50 odd images just to meet an idiotic admin who refuse to do bugger all and thus makes it a complete waste of time, Sorry rambling on . –Davey2010Talk 00:23, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- I haven't really been following this photo upload/reload saga, but I have a few comments. His file naming is self-promotional, albeit under the guise of attribution and not in violation of WP:FNC as far as I can tell. He is also disruptive and non-cooperative. I, and other editors, have repeatedly asked him to use edit summaries, which he tacitly refuses to do. He also engages in edit warring quite a bit.- MrX 00:54, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Well he's used them today I wonder why! - Well I've started a 3rr thanks to him edit warring, Oh fun days. –Davey2010Talk 00:57, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Thanks for your prompt responses guys. I like to enrich articles with photographs myself, but I go to lengths to find others' works that are of good quality, composition, merit, etc. But he is self-promoting, edit warring, and doing things the way he wants and likes, he's not helping build a better, unbiased encyclopedia. You may also notice that in his User talk:GageSkidmore, he virtually never responds to anybody's posts. I'm just afraid of edit wars coming down the line. Everybody has a learning curve, but he's been around too long, and too consistently makes a mess. Spartan7W § 01:56, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Exactly I too try and find the best of images but when it comes to self promoting I refuse to use the photos but perhaps that's just me, Exactly had he bothered to have a discussion in the first place I wouldn't have needed to file it but there we go it's his own doing, Anyway thanks for everyone replying - Much appreciated :) –Davey2010Talk 02:01, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

ani
Since none of the 3 admins that I asked have me a straight yes or no answer whether removing an afd comment was acceptable, I have asked ANI. I also see that you get into a lot of conflict with others. Please don't do that. Deepavali 2014 (talk) 05:43, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- The thread is here BMK (talk) 06:00, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Deepavali 2014 has been blocked for a period of 72 hours for disruption and admin shopping. Mkdwtalk 06:25, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Looking at the AFD the bestest thing I perhaps could've done was to move his vote as opposed to removing but to be fair I did try and help him but hey ho we all make mistakes here and we all learn from them,
- Thanks everyone for your help. –Davey2010Talk 09:35, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

Persondata RfC
Hi, You participated in the previous Persondata RfC. I just wanted to notify you that a new RfC regarding the methodical removal of Persondata is taking place at Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals). Thanks, —Msmarmalade (talk) 08:16, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Done at long last :), Thanks Msmarmalade, –Davey2010Talk 19:52, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Ariana Grande infobox
Hi, Davey. Thanks for your message. I think the infobox on the Ariana Grande message interferes with our ability to put a useful image there. Infoboxes are optional, and this one contains only redundant information, so I recommend that we delete it and, instead, put back the image that I had there. Please examine my edit that you reverted, and if you agree, on reflection, then please make a comment of the Ariana Grande talk page and revert. If you still disagree, that's fine, and it means that there is no consensus for the change that I suggested. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 15:15, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, Personally I think the infobox should stay as it - Had it been a stubby article then I'd agree but with the article constantly expanding I think at one point or another it'll only get readded back, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 15:27, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Vote Labour?
Hello - yes, same happened to me, I think it was this edit that did it - but I've no idea how! --Super Nintendo Chalmers (talk) 15:35, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
- Hi Super Nintendo Chalmers - Sorry for all the confusion - Basically an IP & editor were messing around with one of the templates on the article so thus that happened so it was nothing to do with Alakzi - When you reverted me and everything was normal I begun questioning my own sanity ,
- Apologies for reverting you as using rollback on you (It was impossible to use Twinkle with the cock-ups),
- Anyway happy editing :) –Davey2010Talk 15:39, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
New question raised regarding Talk:Hillary Rodham Clinton/April 2015 move request
Some opposers of this move have now contended that there is a "Critical fault in proposal evidence", which brings the opinions expressed into question. Please indicate if this assertion in any way affects your position with respect to the proposed move. Cheers! bd2412 T 04:37, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
- Done, Thanks BD. –Davey2010Talk 04:55, 8 May 2015 (UTC)

Edit summary
Regarding your edit here, how does MOS apply? Maybe the script has some sort of fault with edit summaries. Snuggums (talk / edits) 07:06, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
Closing merger discussions at that troublesome article
@Davey2010: At Talk:Rape jihad, could we get the "Proposed merge" and "Proposed title" threads "blue-box" closed (as the proposals are highly contentious, meaning no merge or move can proceed on the basis of !voting)? Their existence is enabling a couple of the still-unblocked disruptive editors to keep hatting the article with multiple-issue tag-pollution. Thanks in advance. Pax 07:09, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
