The article Pauliina Aalto has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Happy Holidays
[edit]
Peace is a state of balance and understanding in yourself and between others, where respect is gained by the acceptance of differences, tolerance persists, conflicts are resolved through dialog, people's rights are respected and their voices are heard, and everyone is at their highest point of serenity without social tension. Happy Holidays to you and yours. ―Buster7 ☎

The Barnstar of Diligence |
I award this barnstar to the stupendously committed "Victuallers, the Goal Setter" who wrote on the WiR talkpage on 20 Dec 2023: "So today's the day. This time last year I thought I wonder if I could write a new women's biog every day for a year. I'd tried before and messed it up at #360. So I started in December last year so I could officially start a full year this January. Well its complete and Wikipedia even records the names and dates here. During the year, I completed my 8 year run of notable ODNB women and ran out of missing ODNB Women in Red. I had to turn to Aussie women on the ADB. All of the 365 articles have fed into one of the WIR editathons."For this, you inspire me and countless others. So with appreciation and thanks, this barnstar is for you. Rosiestep (talk) 20:09, 3 January 2024 (UTC) |
- Thanks Rosie, I will warm my tootsies on your kind greeting. Ive been thrilled to see WIR Tee shirts in Ghana - not sure whos idea but I'm feeling quite smug. Victuallers (talk) 23:03, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

A difficult situation
[edit]Hello, Victuallers. Would you please see the discussion at Talk:Wiltshire County Council, in particular my last post there, and give us some thoughts from the point of view of an Admin? Kind regards, Moonraker (talk)
I had a look. I can see that it appears to have got into a tricky place but everyone seems to have an entrenched position. I don't think anyone intended to create this but now its there. Is it impossible to create a compromise? I'm not sure that discussing what would be ideal will help as surely it may be necessary to target a new position which is not optimal. Victuallers (talk) 23:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
Thanks for the thanks
[edit]I'm guessing you stumbled across that article somehow? I was working through the list of Cat A buildings in Moray, trying to tick off any that didn't have articles (a job I've yet to finish, but I made some headway), and I came across her while researching Aberlour House. I was intrigued, and started digging, and just kept getting more intrigued. I still can't believe her story isn't more widely known. Girth Summit (blether) 16:00, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

@CurryTime7-24: I am sure there are lots of articles that could be referenced. ... and could be included .... it could be made a featured article - feel free. The point is, is it adequately referenced now? Victuallers (talk) 23:44, 5 March 2024 (UTC)
- There are four refs on the ru:wiki. 1 is an interview, 2 is a 404 error, 3 is one that is already cited and the fourth is not in readable text. There are about 6 million articles on the en:wiki that could be improved. I don't understand the purpose or adding a tag that calls this one for special attention. Can you explain please?

Jennifer Uchendu[edit]Hi, Vittlers! I'm trying to understand what's going on at Jennifer Uchendu. It looks as if you made 10 edits to the article, and then, after it was speedily deleted by Deb under WP:G4/WP:G11, you undeleted one revision (complete with speedy-deletion template, and with the rationale "seems to have been deleted in error or at least with no rationale"). Were you not at that time already involved to the point that you should have taken no further admin action? Was the rationale given by Deb not clear to you? Did you contact her before (imperfectly) undoing her deletion? Perhaps I've misread the history entirely, of course. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:10, 1 May 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Sharan Rani.jpg
[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Sharan Rani.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's talk 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.

[edit]Hello Victuallers I just noticed that in the Diana Salazar Méndez the reference to her impeachments was deleted. I would appreciate understanding why it should be deleted instead of kept.

[edit]Hi Victuallers. Thank you for your work on Alice Ivy Wigmore. Another editor, Aszx5000, has reviewed it as part of new pages patrol and left the following comment:
You should be autopatrolled?
To reply, leave a comment here and begin it with {{Re|Aszx5000}}. (Message delivered via the Page Curation tool, on behalf of the reviewer.)
Aszx5000 (talk) 17:47, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- @Aszx5000: I agree, you are the 2nd person to say that... but following a debate it was decided that it was essential that I was not. I don't mind - it doesnt waste my time, but I'm not sure the NPP watchers like the extra work, if soneone wants to change it back then I think it would be an improvement. IMO it undermines the work of the wikiprojects - where experienced editors look after each other. Victuallers (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

contacting admins listed as recently active
[edit]Could I request a look at the interventions of User:Maurnxiao in Talk:2024 United Kingdom general election, sections Infobox, Muslim Vote, and Workers Party.
A member of less than a week (although his very first post was challenging the status of sources as reliable, making me suspect he has been active under a different identity), entirely unaccepting of the principle of consensus, determined to see a level of coverage of one political party that is disproportionate to that given by mainstream news sources. Highly disruptive, unwilling to accept that his preference is not grounds to change the approach taken by the article. Time sensitive issue (election is in 10 days), so a quicker intervention would be desirable. Is seeking a topic ban suitable, or is some other solution more suitable.
With thanks. Kevin McE (talk) 08:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- Obviously I feel an intense urge to defend myself after the way in which you have defaced my honor as an editor on here, but I should also really say that I had already acknowledged the lack of consensus and had stopped pushing for an inclusion of the Workers Party in the infobox with pictures should it be reintroduced. My question had been at what point does a regional party become significant enough in Westminster to be included. You had also promised to push for a "topic ban", whatever that is, if I should continue talking about Galloway in the talk page. I didn't make a single edit anywhere after that warning, and yet you chose to smear my name on so many different user talk pages? Maurnxiao (talk) 10:39, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
- I had a quick read ... and it appears that @Maurnxiao: was making little effort to find a consensus. I note that (s)he is new here. My advice would be to avoid contentious subjects like forthcoming elections. Wikipedia usually manages to establish something of a consensus because those who feel really strongly about issues are not encouraged to join the debate. If you believe that you are putting forward a minority (but popular) view then you can be sure that others will add it without your advocacy. Victuallers (talk) 11:08, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Number 2,300
[edit]Haven't reached your record yet, but I wrote my 2,300th woman's biography today. Charlotte Thompson emigrated from England to the U.S. as a child and went on to become an accomplished actress. Hope you have a good week, my friend. -- Rosiestep (talk) 19:55, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
- Oh well done! I just completed 600 days of 1day1woman and decided it was time to stop. I'll wait until someone else has done 599. I'll still be writing but I'm committed to creating a pantomime (very British bit of culture -nothing to do with US meaning of mime) and that is going to take months. Just completed the script (my 10th) and next we have auditions and then rehearsals. 1% of all women's biogs is a great achievement for us two. I think I'm only a few hundred in front of you. I wish there was a tool to count how many women biogs you/I have started. Takes me ages to work out an estimate. All the best partner. Victuallers (talk) 22:16, 14 August 2024 (UTC)
George Edmund Street
[edit]Hi, I’m struggling to see that your addition really has much relevance to Street. It introduces a mass of redlinks, and yet Street’s sister’s activities seem pretty tangential to Street and his career. Is it a link for the sake of a link? KJP1 (talk) 20:08, 16 August 2024 (UTC). That depends ...he designed a convent house where his sister and another of the redlinks lived. Not too tangential I think. If you feel that it is tangential to this article then by all means revert. This aspect of his life will be covered in the buildings he built and you can leave out his family, his buildings, his embroidery commisions and his important friendship with the Blencowe family. Are you sure your opinion was (really?) not a bit premature? (a mass of?) Red links may indicate missing stuff. Read the refs or wait a while? Victuallers (talk) 21:01, 16 August 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, not quite understanding this. I’ll wait for a while, as you suggest. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 05:17, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- OK, I think I understand your intention. But we now have mentions of his sister and her activities in three sections; Early life, Career and Personal life. For me, that isn't a coherent approach. Whilst interesting, her activities are not so central to Street's life and work that they need mentioning three times. Can I suggest that we have one paragraph, covering all of this, ideally located in the Personal life section. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 21:12, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- You don't need my permission. Have a go at improving it -you dom't need to tell me its incoherent....and at the same time that you understand it:-) Victuallers (talk) 22:01, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- I’m aware of that, but I was asking about your intentions as we’ve collaborated before and I respect your contributions. I shall make some amendments shortly. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 22:09, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- My interest here was to uncover these women who were active in the arts and crafts and gothic revival and Oxford movement. She and her nuns were holding Street's designs as important but he seems to have just exploited them as free labour. I added them at three points to show that his sister and her mate were important to him throughout his career. I welcome the collaboration. thanks Victuallers (talk) 22:30, 17 August 2024 (UTC)

"mitant acts" ?
[edit]Hi, I realize this edit was over 4 years ago, but I was wondering what you meant by the adjective "mitant" in your edit [1] to Clara Mordan, in the sentence: "Morden knew that she would die of tuberculosis and this meant that her mitant acts were performed by proxy." I can only find a definition for a French term "mitant", but it doesn't seem to fit here.
The reference text reads "Clara Mordan was suffering from tuberculosis and was unable to do anything that meant she was sent to prison." So, I'm wondering if by "mitant" you meant something like "final" or "dying", or possibly "hidden" or "latent"? Harris7 (talk) 12:34, 5 September 2024 (UTC)
- Four years ago, but Clara remains in my memory as a lost hero. Pleased you took an interest - "militant" was the word I meant to type, but I only have one finger who types and its not a very obedient one. Cheers Roger aka Victuallers (talk) 14:07, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Invitation to participate in a research
[edit]Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:Sister Leontine Belgian Roman Catholic nun.png
[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:Sister Leontine Belgian Roman Catholic nun.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator seven days after the file was tagged in accordance with section F7 of the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Josh Milburn (talk) 16:09, 29 October 2024 (UTC)
