Try Commons!
[edit]
Thank you for uploading free images/media to Wikipedia! As you may know, there is another Wikimedia Foundation project called Wikimedia Commons, a central media repository for all free media. In the future, please upload media there instead (see m:Help:Unified login). That way, all of the other language Wikipedias can use them too, as well as our many sister projects. This will also allow our visitors to search for, view and use our media in one central location. If you wish to move previous uploads to Commons, see Wikipedia:Moving images to the Commons (you may view your previous uploads). Please note that non-free content, such as images claimed as fair use, cannot be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. Help us spread the word about Commons by informing other users, and please continue uploading! --AntiCompositeNumber (Leave a message) 20:23, 27 March 2017 (UTC)
- @AntiCompositeNumber: Thank you for your note. To be honest, the way the Wikipedia "Upload on Commons" button works is really crappy. You're thrown in to a new page where you are told to log in again, even though the status line at the top of the page shows that you are already logged in, and then you're advised to use another method (another wizard) instead, and then you are given a half-completed form where some information that you've already typed is carried over but some (notably the filename) is lost, and a "Comment" is created that is gobbledegook (unrendered code), and it's very unclear what is going on. Also you do not get the convenient copy-paste code to insert the picture into an article. Also, when you click the browser "back" button to get back to where you were in Wikipedia it throws up a "can't find page" error, and to add insult to injury you cannot even go forward again to regain the Commons page to remind yourself of the filename. Then, you have to fish around trying to find what it was that you just loaded.
- All these kinds of problems are why I don't use it. When you click "Upload on Commons" in Wikipedia, having completed the form correctly, it should "just work". Mypix (talk) 17:55, 8 April 2017 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for March 13
[edit]Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Tennyson Trail, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Freshwater Bay (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:13, 13 March 2018 (UTC)
November 2018
[edit]
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Blackwater railway station (Isle of Wight). Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.
Points to note:
- Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
- Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:26, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- You've got a flipping cheek, accusing ME of edit warring. YOU are the one who is edit warring by repeatedly reinstating your misconceived edits. Mypix (talk) 23:31, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
- Mypix, somebody appears to have taken over control of the "User:Mypix" account and is using it to edit-war. Please could you help to regain control of the account so that the editing warring can be stopped. —Sladen (talk) 10:06, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
Your recent editing history at Blackwater railway station (Isle of Wight) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.
Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
This is your final warning. You are already in breach of the 3RR as you have done four reverts in 24 hours. If you revert the article any more times you will be blocked immediately. — Amakuru (talk) 20:24, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- To amplify what Amakuru (talk · contribs) has just posted, you have made four reverts in less than 24 hours:
- If I were not WP:INVOLVED I would have blocked you immediately on sight of the 18:14, 14 November 2018 revert. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:30, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
- Indeed. I was feeling generous. — Amakuru (talk) 20:52, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
