Instead of assuming I'm making things up, would it have hurt you to assume good faith, look to see if the people I posted are actually worked on those cars and help improve those articles? Or am I asking too much from you?--Guiletheme (talk) 14:59, 5 September 2016 (UTC)
- I never said that, You added names to an infobox without backing it up, Why should I ? ... You added the names so how about you source it, It's not my job to start sourcing because other editors couldn't be arsed, If you don't want your edits reverted then source them like everyone else on this project (and whilst I'm ranting - If I added someones to an ib or whatever I too would expect to be reverted), Everything here requires a source and you should know that as you've been here since 2012. –Davey2010 16:09, 5 September 2016 (UTC)

made me laugh out loud. Thanks, I needed that. As you often do, you brought things back down to earth. Thanks for that! -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 03:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Winkelvi Haha no worries, Ironically I was being serious ... I may just rename all of his images , You could start doing some normal name move requests over there, Get the file mover right, and then we can both start renaming everything I mean afterall sharing is caring & all that , –Davey2010 03:39, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

@PageantUpdater: You have one deliberately revised, weakened ivote for redirect, one for redirect, from an individual I have now revealed to be voting reflexively without reading the article and two votes for Keep but you choose to obliterate the article and redirect? How do you arrive at this decision? OK, I had not posted the note yet, See here. It still should be obvious this editor could only compose a three word sentence. And that carries more weight, how? You could have looked at the article to see their one and (a possible) had less substance. What is most offensive is you are giving his bad faith editor a win. See here. So he didn't get sanctioned but his damage remains. All this does is encourage the bad behavior. At the time you deleted the article there were seven sources {WP:GNG should be met), primarily revolving around two incidents in her life, Miss Nebraska and the Gatorade incident which got substantial coverage. WP:BLP1E is not an argument as it is in so many cases. What grounds were cited for redirect? I urge you to rethink your decision. Trackinfo (talk) 09:02, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- 1- Trackinfo That ANI discussion was closed as No Consensus and so it has no relevence here, Stop poking the bear
- 2 - PagentUpdater's !vote was even worse and yet I don't see you moaning about them .... I wonder why...., Anyway consensus is always to redirect the non-notable pagents and this AFD was no different, The redirect had the strongest arguement out of them all but ofcourse had you provided sources to back up your claims it may of been a different matter - All !keeps need to provide sources which you failed to do, Thanks, –Davey2010 10:26, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
consensus is always to redirect the non-notable pagents
please demonstrate this. I added four sources to the Gatorade incident including CBS Sports. Where did I fail to add sources? Trackinfo (talk) 20:35, 9 September 2016 (UTC)- Trackinfo - Well I kind of have just demonstrated it lol, You never stated once you added sources to the article so without sounding like a dick I'm not a mind reader, The sources IMHO are pretty crap however I'm relisting anyway. –Davey2010 21:28, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
What happened?
Hey, man. I hope you know my last comments to you were simply on the humorous side because we've had that kind of on-Wiki relationship in the past. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:35, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Just saw your uncharacteristic comments at AN3. Okay, you're disappointed in me. Not sure why. Policy is policy, no matter whose talk page comments/signature is altered or why. To edit war over something that is against policy is stupid and disruptive and should be reported. If you want to leave over this, then I'll say I'm not disappointed in you, just confused over your decision. But, it's your choice, nonetheless, and I've never been one to stand in the way of what seems to be a lack-of-good-sleep knee-jerk exit that will (hopefully) be seen differently in the light of day by the one doing the exiting. Take care. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 00:45, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Winkelvi - Before I rant and rave I appreciate you sticking by TPO and helping out I honestly do and I too a point understand why you've edit warred but in all honestly do you think this was worth edit warring over ?, I never thought about making it public about me agreeing to it because I never thought it'd be an issue,
- I've seen silly wars in my time but this IMHO was the most silliest and I reached a point today where I thought "Is this seriously what this place has become ?, Edit warring over a f**king timestamp..." and I just lost all faith here and just didn't want to be apart of it anymore, Sure I've got pissed off in the past, Walked away, had a cuppa and came back with a fresh mind but I've never in the 3 years of being here actually wanted to go as much I have today ... I honestly sat outside at 2 in the morning, had a cuppa and debated or not whether to have this entire account indeffed I honestly did, As you can see I've realized there's positives to this site aswell and in all honestly I didn't think it was worth buggering off over,
- Anyway I apologize for the rant at AN3 - You were only doing what you thought was right and I deeply deeply appreciate that but yeah I just really didn't see the need to war over it,
- Aaaaaaanywaaaay it's a new day and all that - Lets forget today ever happened and just move on but I again apologize for the rant over there :)
- Winkelvi - Before I rant and rave I appreciate you sticking by TPO and helping out I honestly do and I too a point understand why you've edit warred but in all honestly do you think this was worth edit warring over ?, I never thought about making it public about me agreeing to it because I never thought it'd be an issue,
- TL565 - As much as I appreciate you helping out I would ask infuture if I or anyone makes a mistake with something to simply let me/them know first, I don't really have a problem as such but it's always best to let the person know instead of changing it yourself as it prevents edit warring and in all fairness to WV there's plenty of people here that stick to TPO which is a great thing,
- Thanks & Happy editing to you both, –Davey2010 01:49, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the wishes, but it looks like it's me who is going to be leaving for good. It's not worth the drama anymore. My time on Misplaced Pages has been long but it's time for me to bow out. TL565 (talk) 03:13, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- TL565 - Could I make a suggestion ? .... You both stay away from each other and just enjoy the site and focus on editing ? ..... Having been here for 3 years the site certainly has its downs and at times you feel like smashing your face repeatedly against a brick wall .... but the site also has its ups and you can make alot of great friends here... Despite me at times being a grumpy bugger I've made tons of friends here and I wouldn't change it for the world, Is it really worth leaving over this drama ? ....No course it's not, The site can be draining but it can also be amazing, Clearly you both don't get on so try to work together and try to get along or go your seperate ways and enjoy editing solo, Anyone would think I'm a counsellor right now . –Davey2010 04:01, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- TL565: One wonderful thing about Misplaced Pages is its expansiveness. There are plenty of neglected, uncontroversial articles and topics—and not just niche ones with little source coverage and few readers but important areas where good editing can make a real difference, many where you can do pretty much anything you want without being bothered. Instead of leaving for good, why not clear your watchlist, at least pare out everything that's conflict-prone, and find a new domain? Just a thought! Rebbing 04:37, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

- Few deep breaths, several pints, a good sleep, I will give you 48 hours leave and then return to the "hobby" lmfao :) Seriously, you are needed. Irondome (talk) 00:39, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Irondome, Thanks for the wise words :), Haha damnit you can literally read me like a book :), To be honest I wasn't planning on ever returning but I suppose that's what they all say , Anyway thanks for your message which is extremely appreciated, Have a great day :), –Davey2010 01:53, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- At the risk of adding to your laundry woes, I just want to chime in to say I'm much relieved you've decided to stick it out. (I wince so hard at the notifications bar whenever I get multiple messages. It would be nice if the software could have separate icons for pleasant or routine messages and "You done messed up, A-Aron!" Just tell a girl what to expect, you know?) Rebbing 02:29, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Rebbing - Arr thanks :), Same here it would be lovely!, Hahahaha that's made my entire day thank you!! , I love the bit at the end where Tim-othy's like "Pres-ent" , Thanks for that and thanks for your message :), Have a great day, –Davey2010 02:54, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yes!! Also, I think there's a small lesson with Timothy: Sometimes, even when you're plainly right and the other person is being both absurd and unreasonable, it's best to cooperate quietly. Rebbing 04:37, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

School merges
Hi Davey - The {{merge-school}} template is quite specific that the discussion should take place at the destination if specified. Which is why I started it a Brentwood, Essex/ There's even a clickable link on it to take you there. CalzGuy (talk) 14:10, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi CalzGuy, Think I've gone blind but where's it say that ?, As far as I know all discussions should take place on the article that's being merged otherwise no one will ever know it's planning to be merged?,
- Also I've only just realized you'd included a link to the discussion when you put the template up ... something I missed entirely so apologies for that,
- Thanks, –Davey2010 14:22, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- The link is built into the template. If you add a destination in the pipe, e.g. {{merge-school}} it automatically creates both the Article link and the talkpage link within the template text. If you don't put in any suggested destination. It defaults back to the Article talkpage (I think). I always use a piped destination. CalzGuy (talk) 14:36, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

Hey, no harm no foul on the franchise nom. I was originally 50/50 when I started typing but then kept finding more to where the term could probably apply here. I figure that when in doubt, it's always good to give it a try when it comes to AfD. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 01:34, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Tokyogirl79, I've always associated "franchise" with films, It never really occurred that it could apply to these aswell, Exactly I mean I can always withdraw like I did today, I suppose it's better to be safe than sorry, Anyway thanks for commenting on it :), Have a great day, –Davey2010 02:32, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- I have to admit that what little I know about it is typically associated with films, but I suppose it can qualify for that sort of stuff. I'm not as savvy with franchise type material as I am with other stuff. I figure that it could probably be renamed to something else if there's any doubt. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 02:33, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Same here I'm useless when it comes to that sort of stuff, Anyway thanks, –Davey2010 02:37, 18 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi Davey2010, I just wanted to ask if you would like to reconsider your argument there as you've commented that AfD before another user aded the Hall of Fame induction. I hope, nobody will clame canvassing now, as I don't know how you might decide and just in general wanted to let you know that the Hall of Fame induction and your argument "fails PORN BIO" don't fit together anymore. Regards. --SamWinchester000 (talk) 03:20, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi SamWinchester000, Thanks for the heads up, I've changed to redirect ... and kinda went off in to a world of my own lol, Anyway thanks. –Davey2010 03:42, 18 September 2016 (UTC)
Canadian dates
Just for a bit of extra context, the issue is that the Canadian editor contingent has never been able to establish a clear consensus for either DMY or MDY — the debates have always bogged down in individual editors' personal preferences for one form or the other rather than any strong evidence that either form is considered standard in Canadian English per se. So our rule for Canada is simply to maintain whichever format the article started with; other than correcting inconsistencies, we don't impose DMY on an article that was started MDY, or vice versa, so that the date formatting doesn't turn into an unproductive edit war about personal preferences. Just wanted to clarify a bit. Bearcat (talk) 16:05, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Bearcat, I'm so sorry!, Usually I check Date formats by country before doing any article so I'm not sure why I'd done this article, As you say they use both so it shouldn't of been done, I know there's always issues with DMY v MDY with those that use both so If one article uses both than I leave the article well alone, But anyway thanks for explaining and thanks spotting the error and basically reverting :), Cheers, –Davey2010 16:11, 19 September 2016 (UTC)

I understand you didn't know about Checker. I have left a very distressed note about your (a new discovery for me) bulk uploads on your Commons talk page. Please would you tell me why you make these bulk uploads - so i can tell you why I am so bulk-upload averse. Thanks, Eddaido (talk) 01:59, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Personal attacks
Since I replied to you on my page and I didn't hear back, I thought I'd stop by and visit. It was interesting how you mentioned "working together" on your last comment and I'd like to ask you how you plan to lead by example on this important principle since I don't find this comment conducive at all to our camaraderie as a team nor our nascent friendship. In fact, another editor agreed that it was uncalled for, provocative and saw why someone could respond like I did, even if it wasn't within Misplaced Pages rules. In the future, it might be useful to consider how your actions could influence those of others.--Guiletheme (talk) 12:42, 20 September 2016 (UTC)
- In all fairness Samtar doesn't know the reason why it was said but anyway I've replied on your talkpage so am closing this - Best to keep it all in one place :), Thanks for your message tho. –Davey2010 12:51, 20 September 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion
NO ACTION Closing this as the article's now at AFD and with the greatest of respect this discussion isn't leading anywhere (and the notifications are bloody annoying too :)), Cheers, –Davey2010 14:15, 23 September 2016 (UTC)The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi Davey2010, regarding the speedy deletion tag you put on the Streetrunner article I created yesterday, you cited CSD:G4. However, the article I created is not a copy of the one that was previously deleted; it is a new article. I felt the main reason the article was deleted the first time around was because it was poorly written and formatted, not because Streetrunner lacks notability. I believe his notability is demonstrated in the article I created. He is also mentioned on 80 different Misplaced Pages pages, which I know doesn't confer notability, but at least it means he's a prolific producer. Would you be willing to take another look at the article and consider removing the speedy deletion tag? Thank you.--Bernie44 (talk) 01:16, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Bernie44, Done ... Although I'm surprised the CSD wasn't removed sooner, I ended up forgetting to check back so thanks for the reminder and thank you for not removing it either :),
- You may want to replace cites like LilWayneHQ, HipHopDX and Stacksmag as they're not reliable sources, Other than that the sources look great :),
- Thanks again for the poke!, Happy editing, –Davey2010 01:25, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks, I appreciate it. And I agree about LilWayneHQ and Stacks, I'll look for replacements for those. But I think HipHopDX is reliable, it's one of the main hip hop sites around.--Bernie44 (talk) 01:35, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- It's not substantially different aside from the discography formatting, so I've retagged it. I think we need to consider that this is paid editing from the subject as well; this time it's just not his manager/agent doing it, and frankly, I want to know why this guy thinks he needs a Misplaced Pages page so bad, as we aren't an advertising platform. We're not going to keep COI material just because the guy who wanted it paid a third party to do it. MSJapan (talk) 01:48, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi MSJapan, I cant really remember what It looked like ... I'm just taking the blokes word for it, I had taken the bloke to AIV but was told it's all fine at the moment and that as much as COI is frowned upon there's really nothing anyone can do but anyways thanks for retagging it. –Davey2010 02:15, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- MSJapan, is it possible for you to share the text of the previous Misplaced Pages article on Streetrunner so we can compare and see if the one I created is substantially different? Thanks.--Bernie44 (talk) 06:11, 22 September 2016 (UTC)
- You're making a lot of assumptions here. The reason I doubt the article I created is substantially the same is because I created it from scratch, based on what I found on Google. As to whether or not people know who he is, people do know who he is. He's mentioned on 80 different Misplaced Pages pages. I'm not sure if you listen to hip hop but he has produced tracks for some of the top rappers around. It makes total sense for him to have a Misplaced Pages page. There's no need to embellish his accomplishments. Anyhow, obviously we don't see this the same way, and there is now a deletion discussion going so it can get settled over there.--Bernie44 (talk) 13:35, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Tagging 25th Anniversary Collection by The Monkees as a re-direct
Thank you so much for changing the article to a re-direct. I feel that it was a far more appropriate solution than having the page deleted. That way the article can still have recognition without having to have it's own article page. ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 23:43, 29 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hi C.Syde65, You're so welcome :), Well as everyone already !voted Redirect the article wouldn't have been deleted anyway no worries :), Happy editing, –Davey2010 00:01, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yeah true. But still, it's the action that counts, for me! :D ― C.Syde (talk | contribs) 00:02, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Michael Hardy closed
This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following remedies have been enacted:
- Michael Hardy is reminded that:
- Administrators are expected to set an example with their behavior, including refraining from incivility and responding patiently to good-faith concerns about their conduct, even when those concerns are expressed suboptimally.
- All administrators are expected to keep their knowledge of core policies reasonably up to date.
- Further misconduct using the administrative tools will result in sanctions.
- MjolnirPants is reminded to use tactics that are consistent with Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines, and the 4th Pillar when dealing with other users they are in dispute with.
- The Arbitration Committee is reminded to carefully consider the appropriate scope of future case requests. The committee should limit "scope creep" and focus on specific items that are within the scope of the duties and responsibilities outlined in Arbitration Policy.

Ice cream van
I've reverted your revert. As I state in my revert, the swedish truck aint have neither the glass windows used to serve the customers neither the ice cream list or menu with the flavours or types. Moreover, the lateral doors are the ones used on refrigerated food trucks. Regards.--HCPUNXKID 22:34, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi HCPUNXKID, Yeah apologies for the revert, I assumed they actually served the ice cream through the tiddly doors but clearly not , Having looked on YouTube it seems they are indeed refrigerator trucks so thanks for the revert :), Happy editing, –Davey2010 22:49, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
- No problem dude, I hope all WP users are as honest and kind as you. Have a nice week!--HCPUNXKID 22:56, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

WikiProject Eurovision: Important Announcement
WikiProject EurovisionImportant Announcement
Dear Project Member Following a project community discussion, which was raised over the use of English translation columns on annual contest articles, and advice from the lead coordinator of The Guild of Copy Editors, who are extremely knowledgeable in regards to all editing practises and manual of style policies. A consensus decision has been reached to fully remove ALL English translations, as such content falls under the prohibition on original research, even if it seems helpful to the reader. This is because we have now to assume that every reader has access to automated translation tools that can always give them a sense of the meaning of the title in their native language; it is not Misplaced Pages's job to provide those tools for the reader. Which therefore means we are no longer to include an English translation column, nor are we to provide translation by any other means on contest articles. Such information is currently in the process of being removed, and a new table formatting and layout style is being rolled out across all articles. Please view the new guidance on table layout at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Eurovision/Format and Guides#Article layout. An example of the new table layout style can also be access via the collapsed section within this message. Thank you. |

Sandobx
Hi, I noticed that you have started a discussion about a legal threat made by me Luke de paul, I just want to say that I didn't want to make harm to anyone, just as you said I was just very frustrated, now I put back my sandbox again, and I also put a template saying that it is a user page and I have also deleted all logos so that I would not violate any copyright. I just wanted to tell you my point of view about this situation.Best regardsRoger Delacroix (talk) 17:08, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- No worries, You need to stop adding the navboxes ..... The whole point to a sandbox is to store articles that you're working on ..... It's a page where you can store tons of navboxes all for the sake of it. Thanks, –Davey2010 17:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
Hey, hang on a minute, first you say that I can store all of the navboxes that i want on my sandbox and then you ask to be deleted again, why are you doing this to me??Roger Delacroix (talk) 17:30, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- Where did I say that ? –Davey2010 17:44, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- on the administrators notebook/incidentsRoger Delacroix (talk) 18:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for having sent me that message, I have learned a great lesson, I will never do it again, but now can you please unblock my sandbox?Roger Delacroix (talk) 13:52, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi, Sorry I never saw your message, I don't recall saying anything about storing navboxes in sandboxes, Nope sorry it'll have to remain salted permanently but you've still got User:Luke de paul/sandbox3 so no need for 2 sandboxes, Just a kindly suggestion but might I suggest that you stop working on sandboxes and instead work on improving articles?, Thanks, –Davey2010 14:22, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for having answered me, you have said that I still have got User:Luke de paul/sandbox3 but it's going to be deleted, I have contested the deletion saying that I have learned my lesson, and I would never do that again, can you please help me stopping the deletion of my new sandbox? Kind regardsRoger Delacroix (talk) 15:02, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
- No worries, I've remove the CSDs, please don't add the navboxes again, Thanks and happy editing. –Davey2010 15:15, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Invitation to the African Destubathon
Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
MediaWiki issue
See this discussion - basically I don't have any way to weed anything out when I send the message. I'm really not impressed - there ought to be some way for me to pick and choose who within a group gets the message. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 23:43, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Ser Amantio di Nicolao, Ah I remember seeing that post, So basically there's no way you can manually remove them at all? .... I've not seen the interface or anything but I just assumed you could remove them manually and that was it.....,
- I'm not blaming you but it now means alot of talkpages have needlessly been created for nothing ...
- I apologize for having a go on your talkpage - As I said I just assume you copied everything in the category, Pasted it and hit send or whatever but I guess not,
- Anyway thanks for replying. –Davey2010 23:56, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
- I wish - I had done it that way once before, using AWB. Personally, I think that's the way to go. And if there's not a way to manually work out the category then that's what I shall do in the future.
- Sorry for the trouble. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoLo dicono a Signa. 02:08, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
- Ahhh right, Okie dokie no worries, Mistakes happen so it's all cool :), –Davey2010 02:20, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Please ignore my revert!
Davey2010, please ignore my revert at Shenae Grimes! I thought a date format had been established for refs at the article, but looking back at the 2011 version of that article, it looks like you made to correct call. Apologies! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:21, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
- IJBall - I have some good news ... I never got the notification lol, I had no idea you had even reverted, I changed them based on the infobox being set up as DMY but I usually go by what's used the most in the article - Ofcourse not all editors agree so If I'm reverted then I'm reverted - Not worth warring over but anyway thanks for shooting yourself in the foot lol –Davey2010 02:26, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
- Your approach is sound for most articles' reference pub. dates, but doesn't always work for ref accessdates, which are often in ISO format. In general, when I find a whole hodgepodge of reference date formats at an article, I go back in the article's revision history, and try to find the format of the first "properly formatted" reference, and standardize to that that, according to MOS:DATERET. In the case of Shenae Grimes, it looks like most of the refs in the 2011 version used 'mdy dates' for everything – so your MOS:DATEUNIFY'ing to that dateformat was the correct call. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 02:32, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
- ah right thanks, Strangely I've never thought of doing it that way, Perhaps I should, Anyway thanks for the message, Have a great day :), –Davey2010 02:38, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/OurCrowd
This clearly needed to be closed by an experienced admin considering not only was there a new Delete vote, but there had been extensive comments about those sources listed, therefore simply counting the votes or whatever is not how a challenging AfD should be closed. SwisterTwister talk 03:36, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- SwisterTwister - If you disagree with my closure then how about you ask politely instead of coming over here like a 5 year old throwing a tantrum. –Davey2010 03:54, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- Moans aside IMHO consensus for the most part was to keep that article however if you disagree then I'd be more than happy to reverse my closure. –Davey2010 03:55, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, reopening it would be the best so an experienced admin can close it, or else I can start a DRV. SwisterTwister talk 04:00, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- SwisterTwister - Done, Thanks, –Davey2010 04:08, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Zerthimon
I am not going to revert your closure, but I just wanted to note that these discussions are a lot more controversial than they may seem, and that "Please be bold and merge these yourself, They don't need a discussion" is not as good advice as it may seem; though it may seem surprising, people will happily edit war and wikilawyer to keep articles of this sort from being merged. Josh Milburn (talk) 14:30, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi J Milburn, I had told the user to ignore my comments as I realized some were keeps and merges (I had no idea what AFD I had made the comments on so figured I'd leave a message), However they've conveniently decided to ignore the talkpage message and have started to merge these themselves, Also as you've said "I am not going to revert your closure" - Are you also objecting to the closure or just the comments made?, Thanks, –Davey2010 14:36, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- I object to the comments made, the fact the discussion was closed early, and the fact that you closed it as a non-admin. I don't particularly object to the decision made (which is why I'm not reverting). I see that you're closing a lot of these D&D AfDs. I'm not convinced that these are ripe for non-admin closure; they are generally fairly controversial (even if they don't look it; there's a lot of history, here) and the stated views are fairly mixed, with an assortment of keeps, merges, deletes and redirects, and sometimes an open question about the target of the merge. The last one you closed, for example, was Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Goristro. You closed it as a merge; perhaps merge was the right call, perhaps redirect was. But when there's any doubt, surely the closure is better left for an administrator; part of the point of RfA is that it demonstrates that there is community trust in people to make judgement calls in this kind of situation. Maybe if you're keen that you should be making these kinds of closures, you should go through the RfA procedure yourself. More generally, I see I'm the second person today to raise concerns about your use of non-admin closures; perhaps holding off a little would be wise? Josh Milburn (talk) 14:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- Alot of these have been closed by various non admins and most if not all have been closed as Merge, That aside these aren't controversial (If they were I wouldn't be closing them - I've always left the controversial ones alone), I have no interest in becoming an admin but as I said these aren't controversial and these don't need closing by an admin, I'll admit I made the wrong call with the one above however that's one AFD out of what .... 200 closures roughly .... So I'm not doing bad lol, Anyway thanks for your message. –Davey2010 15:01, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- I am not really concerned with how many discussions are closed by non-admins; you need to take ownership of your own actions. I disagree strongly with your claim that you have avoided controversial closures. By my count, you have closed 10 debates today (!!), which, to reiterate a point from above, is an awful lot for someone who is not an administrator and has no desire to be one. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Goristro and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Zerthimon (the latter of which you've now reopened, with a slightly surprising claim- you knew you were closing it early, so you surely didn't misread the opening date for the second, or else you would not believe that you were closing it early...) as I've explained, were not uncontroversial. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/OurCrowd, as explained above and as you admitted, was controversial. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Myhriss could have been clearer; I wouldn't have been surprised if it was relisted. So I count at least 3/10 inappropriate closures, and, judging from your choice to self-revert after being confronted, you count at least 2/10. Again, I implore you to rethink your approach, here. Josh Milburn (talk) 17:03, 9 October 2016 (UTC)
- I am taking ownership of my actions and I have already stated consensus on most were to Merge and apart from those 2 closures the rest were fine, There's not a limit on how many AFDs can be closed either - As i said tho the uncontroversial ones I'll close and the controversial ones gets left well alone and so far these have all been uncontroversial and none require any admin closures, And ofcourse if anyone disagrees with a closure I'm always happy to revert and reopen - we're all human and we all make mistakes but ofcourse all that being said I take all criticism on board but as I said we all make mistakes from time to time but anyways thanks again for your comments. Thanks, –Davey2010 17:30, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

Maybe if you're keen that you should be making these kinds of closures, you should go through the RfA procedure yourself. More generally, I see I'm the second person today to raise concerns about your use of non-admin closures; perhaps holding off a little would be wise? Josh Milburn (talk) 14:50, 9 October 2016 (UTC)

You should self-revert there, since Eichenwalde's edit wasn't vandalism or any of the other exemptions on reversion. There are plenty of eyes on that article in any case, other editors may weigh in as needed. Such is the problem of 1RR. Acroterion (talk) 16:07, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Acroterion, If someone is blocked for edit warring and fails to discuss it shouldn't that edit be reverted until they get consensus ?, Ofcourse I'll happily self reevrt but it was my understanding that they should discuss it first ? ...., Thanks, –Davey2010 16:11, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- If you haven't exceeded the revert limit that's fine, but under 1RR, short of vandalism, no. It just makes it harder to settle things down. In general you should avoid giving blocked edit-warriors a chance to demand retribution. Acroterion (talk) 16:13, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- Ah right in that case Acroterion I sincerely apologize, This whole 1RR thing is new to me so I'm honestly only trying to do what I think's best but ofcourse I apologize, Ah yeah I didn't think of it like that, Okie dokie thanks for your message and for your help - It's extremely appreciated. –Davey2010 16:19, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- It gives everyone trouble from time to time, which is why I always ask for self-reverts in such situations. Acroterion (talk) 16:29, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- It's a shame the other didn't self revert as it could've saved all this but ah well, Thanks again for your help and your patience too :), Happy editing, –Davey2010 16:37, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
- There are a couple of WP:BEANS issues associated with 1RR that make it less than ideal as a remedy and easy to game: this is such a case. However, it also lends itself to draconian remedies if the disruptive behavior persists, and WP:WRONGVERSION* applies here for the time being (* note to other readers: WRONGVERSION is a humorous essay that describes everyone's frustration with edit wars).

Hi It's me Luke de paul I have to tell you that the person who kept modifying my sandbox was me, I simply forgot, to log in. I'm sorry if I continued recreating that Sandbox I wll try to avoid doing it again. I'm sorryRoger Delacroix (talk) 14:16, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but that's utter bollocks you don't just forget to log in on like 20-30 edits ...., I'm not sure whether you're trying to avoid scrutiny or are simply clueless but if it's the latter I would advise you stick to editing with your user account otherwise again you could be blocked,
- You may want to read WP:SOCK,
- Thanks. –Davey2010 14:31, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
