Ice bear johny's uploads
Hi Nthep. Since you've also responded to WP:MCQ#Posting pictures, maybe you could also look at User talk:Ice bear johny#File source problem with File:MehanPark.jpg. I've tagged those file for CSD per WP:F4, but they all seem to come from here, which means they probably may be eligible for CSD per WP:F9 instead. I think this is just a WP:YOUNG editor who means well and is just tyring to be WP:HERE as best as they can; so, I don't think a block or any formal sanction is needed. I do, however, think that the files they've uploaded probably need a closer look. -- Marchjuly (talk) 01:14, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- commented on his talk page. Nthep (talk) 11:27, 7 September 2020 (UTC)
- Thank you for helping to sort this out and also for the message you left on the uploader's talk page. -- Marchjuly (talk) 00:33, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
Ice bear johny seems to be back at uploading photos per User talk:Ice bear johny#File source problem with File:ValleyNature.jpeg. Most of them seem to be for user page use, but at least this one was added to an article. They all seem to be licensed as PD-self which might be the case except the EXIF data is a bit questionable: some have no EXIF data, some have EXIF data that indicates the photo might come from Facebook and some have detailed EXIF data from a camera. Perhaps all that’s needed here is OTRS verification or maybe just a source link to those with iffy or no EXIF data. Would you mind taking a quick peek at these? —- Marchjuly (talk) 20:26, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- Oh what a mess. I've deleted a couple of obvious copyvios but the rest. Some might be his own work but are frankly unencylopedic especially without descriptions and ought to go to FFD on that basis. Others, as you say are of dubious provenance and perhaps should be tagged under WP:F11. Nthep (talk) 20:51, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- I decide to try resolving the F4 and F11 issues via user talk page discussion to give them the chance to provide more clarification. If there’s no response or an incomplete response, then maybe the files should be tagged with {{nsd}} or {{npd}}. Does that seem reasonable? — Marchjuly (talk) 21:51, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
- They'll do although but if he does sort things out we're left with some useless images which may need to go to FFD anyway as unusable. Nthep (talk) 22:09, 3 October 2020 (UTC)

Bob Budiansky
I appreciate you protecting Budiansky's article for the moment, but you should know that this user has a history of wiki vandalism, as I noted in this report. The information they've attempted to add is falsified, and they have a history of lying about others' intentions or attempting to claim they represent or actually are individuals involved with Transformers or Gobots in an official capacity (such as Hasbro, Budiansky, or Peter Cullen) in order to either claim legitimacy or to threaten those who correct them. This has been going on at TFwiki for literal years, and their edits should not be taken in good faith. -- Cyberlink420 (talk) 17:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
- @Cyberlink420: thanks for the note. Perhaps if some of the people reverting the edits had used some edit summaries I might have taken a different course but as I saw it, it looked like an edit war over how much Budiansky is responsible for Transformers with no attempt by anyone to discuss. I'll leave it to whoever looks at your report to decide what should happen next. Nthep (talk) 17:34, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Autochrome
Why remove historically interesting images, when they can be placed in a gallery at the end of the page? --Janke | Talk 10:00, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Articles should not be buried under numerous images just because the images have been uploaded. That's why {{Commonscat}} exists - to provide a link to relevant but not necessarily essential to the article images. See WP:GALLERY.
- the copyright status is currently not clear. They are uploaded as the uploaded own work which they patently are not. The images may be public domain but they may also still be under copyright, so that needs to be resolved. Nthep (talk) 12:45, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
On page of Sushant Singh Rajput
Why did you deleted my changes?? SSR was murdered and there have been several claims. I added them as citations also but still you have a problem. His fans are urging there should be a change in the death section. And also that "Suicide by hanging" should change to either "Homicide" or "Murder" as per the claims. Von de leorde (talk) 08:52, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- we are not interested in gossip sources that are mere speculation nor are we here to pander to the wishes of his fans. Quite simply all the official sources say suicide so until there is something different e.g. the CBI say it was homicide Wikipedia sticks with suicide. Nthep (talk) 09:03, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- The CBI aren't about to do that, either - the autopsy review they had the AIIMS do concluded suicide. —A little blue Bori v^_^v Hasteur Hasteur Ha-- oh.... 16:38, 14 October 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I read the reports. A pity the SSR fans don't want to accept it. Nthep (talk) 16:42, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Super League XXV
Hey, just a quick question.. the links/sources you've added on the results page for rugby league express, they don't show anything to do with super League (not that I can see anyway). Not that I'm bothered, I was just wondering what links to the source.
Regards L1amw90 (talk) 23:30, 14 October 2020 (UTC)

Super League – Man Of Steel PPG Adjustments
Could you possibly look into editing the M.O.S table to show PPG instead of points please. I'm not sure how to do it.
Thanks L1amw90 (talk) 13:57, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
- Looks like you've worked it out. Nthep (talk) 16:16, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
Well, not really. I've just basically done it manually (not that it really matters anyway), because the leaderboard is going to be hidden after this week's games so alls good. Thanks anyway :) L1amw90 (talk) 02:47, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Super League table
Hey, you may need to look into this, as I'm not sure what's going on, but the new super League page you created earlier is now being discussed for deletion. Not sure why... L1amw90 (talk) 04:08, 7 November 2020 (UTC)
Hoping for assist with File:Yamirukka Bayamen (TV series).jpg
Hey there, some bonehead-ry occurred recently at Yamirukka Bayamen (TV series). Short story, someone hijacked it in late October, built an article about Endrendrum Punnagai on top of it, then moved the article to Endrendrum Punnagai (TV series). I've reverted all of these issues.
Was hoping you could help with the following though, if you don't mind; I'm not too experienced with image stuff: The image currently visible at File:Yamirukka Bayamen (TV series).jpg, with the headphones lady, is for the series Endrendrum Punnagai. These editors apparently uploaded this show's image on top of File:Yamirukka Bayamen (TV series).jpg as part of whatever keypad mashing they were doing. Since Endrendrum Punnagai (TV series) no longer exists, the image is orphaned, but doesn't represent Yamirukka Bayamen anyway. So I'm not sure what the correct way to deal with this is--delete the image, or move it to a new target, even though it'll be orphaned? Can I dump this in your lap? Or can you tell me what to do on this? Thanks, sorry for the hassle. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 20:44, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Cyphoidbomb: I've restored the file and it's rationale to be relevant to Yamirukka Bayamen. If there is an article for Endrendrum Punnagai someone can upload a new image for it. Nthep (talk) 21:00, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks mate. Much appreciated. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 21:20, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
Quintinshill
Apologies for the confusion on Hamilton, I was not aware until now that he had written a second 1969 book specifically on Quintinshill as well as his (good) 1967 book on a range of British 20th century railway accidents. I had added a couple of references from his earlier book under the BBC documentary section. I've now included both Hamilton references and have linked my two refs to the 1967 book. I had mistakenly thought when I looked at it that I had added Hamilton and carelessly given the book the wrong name by copy-and-pasting the entry for Thomas' book. Hopefully that will sort it out. Hyperman 42 (talk) 12:38, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Is Hamilton's Quintinshill book any good, by the way? I only have Thomas's plus the various multi-accident books. Hyperman 42 (talk) 12:48, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks. It doesn't add too much if you have all the others and his 67 book and I wouldn't bother purchasing this one unless Quintinshill is you absolute and sole interest. It's not particularly long but does have some useful diagrams of the signalling layout etc. I borrowed a copy when I did a rewrite on this article some years ago and I haven't missed owning my own copy. I have to say I was disappointed with Richards & Searle; it is, imo, trying to make a point without actually proving a conspiracy and I think the BBC took too much notice of it - solely because it was recent. Nthep (talk) 13:01, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm afraid I was disappointed both by their view and by the BBC documentary, as I thought it was good that something was being produced for the centenary. Dare I say that it felt as if there was a bit of a political agenda there from BBC Scotland and the presenter in their choice to focus on the conspiracy theory? There would be great drama in a simple factual re-enactment of the half hour in the signalbox if the underlying information could be conveyed - perhaps by flashbacks as the safety mechanisms were explained later. Thomas' book I think captures that drama. Hyperman 42 (talk) 00:34, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:SOEDESCO logo 2020.png
Thanks for uploading File:SOEDESCO logo 2020.png. 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) 03:41, 5 December 2020 (UTC)
