== Your RfA == |
|
|
|
|
|
Hi. I've just taken a look at your request for adminship. We appreciate your dedication to Misplaced Pages and the work you have done for the project thus far. However, I have to agree with the commenters who have opined that your experience probably is not enough for you to be a well-qualified administrator just yet. Because your current RfA is not likely to pass, I think it would be in your best interests to withdraw it at this time and try again later when you have addressed some of the opposers' concerns. |
|
|
|
|
|
I do, however, want to say that in my case at least, the concerns are entirely related to your level of experience on-wiki and not to your actual age. This year alone, we have elected at least two self-identified 12-year-old admins who have been doing excellent jobs. When you are ready, you will be ready regardless of what the calendar says. |
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, one other concern I have concerns the amount of identifying information that you have on your userpage. Normally this would not concern me but deciding how much detail about your real-world identity to publish on the Internet is one of the areas in which a person's age may actually matter. If you plan to be an active editor and eventually an administrator in the future, you should be aware that there have been incidents in which admins have been harassed in retaliation for their administrator actions. This sort of thing can be damaging to any admin but it is particularly concerning in the case of younger editors and admins. Please give this some thought and, if you have any questions, contact an admin or experienced editor you trust to discuss them. Regards, ] 23:01, 28 July 2007 (UTC) |

:I've already closed your nomination per ], as it is apparent that there will be no consensus for promotion. I'd strongly suggest that you take their advice and address the concerns before you nominate yourself again.

Not sure what you were trying to do, but you ended up removing half of the entire article. If you must use an automated editing tool (which is quite possible to get along without; I've got almost 20k edits, and have never used one), please pay closer attention to what you're doing. |

Hi - and thanks for all the work you've done on this article. I hope you understand my reasons for removing the information about today's failed train, but I think your solution of showing it as a picture is a good one. You might like to consider doing some other clean-up - the picture of the bus isn't really relevant to the article, as this is primarily about the railway station not the bus route. Maybe you could put the photo in the gallery instead - which would remove a lot of the white space. Also, do you have any more information about the station - when was it built, which company built it, etc.? – ]<small> ]</small> 21:31, 1 August 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
:The line was opened in 1853 (see ], and I suspect the station would have opened then or soon afterwards by that company. Another thing worth mentioning is the flat crossing north of the station - unique in the UK. You'll need to find citeable evidence for these. Good luck! – ]<small> ]</small> 05:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC) |

:::Yes, and no unfortuanly. The pictures show the train station, the "new" ticket barriers etc. along with the notice about work being done.

An average reader (i.e. not someone from Lincoln, UK) can not be sure that there's 5 platforms at Lincoln Central, number from 3 to 7, because there's no source stating those facts. Claims like "Although many passengers believe that ....." and "Some people have been complaining about the station being closed during this period" also need to be avoid on Misplaced Pages unless you can find a source that state that.

Regarding : |
|
|
|
|
|
# While ] and ] have made genuine proposals to start direct services from Lincoln to London, neither has yet to be fully confirmed, as far as I am aware. (Over the years, I've seen many such proposals fail to happen, or not to last very long: Virgin's London-Shrewsbury service being one example, Virgin Cross Country services to Portsmouth being another, and so on.) Until a specific start date and timetable has been published, it's best still to regard these as just proposals, and to take them with a pinch of salt. While these are plans are far more realistic than, say, those of Humber Coast and City (or whatever they're called), they are still only proposals. |
|
|
# For future services, it's best not to put them in the previous/next station boxes, until the route has been fully confirmed. That's the case with the ] service, which is due to start in the next few weeks, but certainly ''not'' the case with NXEC's proposed Lincoln service. |
|
|
# When using the ], make sure that you want to revert ''all'' of an edit, not just part of it. In making the change you made, as well as replacing the service boxes (which is, I believe, what you intended to do) you managed to reverse various other changes I made to the article, such as modifying the opening paragraphs. Please take care when making reverts! |

:Given to ], you don't appear to have acknowledged much of what I said above. Could you explain why you made this change, please? --] 19:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC) |
|
|
|
|
|
::Fair enough, however there's still the points that (i) we don't have a published, confirmed start date (probably the December 2008 timetable change?) and (ii) we don't know the stopping pattern (e.g. will it run non-stop to Nottingham, will it call at Newark Castle, or somewhere else?). For reasons such as these, I don't think it's ever a good idea to include "proposed" or "future" services in the succession boxes. |
|
|
|
|
|
::Also, you still need to be careful about reverting other changes--why did you undo my change to the opening paragraph, for instance? By accident? If so, ''take care''! --] 20:42, 13 November 2007 (UTC) |

I left you a message about this template you use on some of your images back in September but you archived the page before commenting so I can only presume you missed it. See for the message. It is important that you clarify that whilst you may wish to be informed about how your images are been used, it is not permissible to require people contact you before doing so providing their use is within the licence. ] (]) 19:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC) |

No; I can assure you it's a genuine photo from the footbridge over the tracks just south of Northumberland Park Depot, in September this year. The slightly "shiny-and-new" look of the train (and track) is due to it absolutely pelting down with rain at the time.<font face="Trebuchet MS"> — ]]</font> 23:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC) |

I'm not sure including this on images is very wise. Anyone can see the signs for themselves, your simply stating the obvious that you aren't allowed on the track. Also, whilst you I'm sure are pleased to have been able to take the associated photo, it is not necessarily true that in doing so you didn't commit trespass. Whilst you might have been "allowed" by the driver, he is probably not legally in a position to grant such permission. This means that it is likely by permitting you to take this photo that he either committed an offence himself or knowingly let you commit an offence which is probably against company rules. |
|
|
|
|
|
Including the template is not useful in warning people away from the tracks and only serves to highlight you and the driver's instance of rule breaking, therefore I suggest it is somewhat misguided to use this. I suggest you remove it and tag the user subpage for deletion. ] (]) 18:20, 16 December 2007 (UTC) |

Hi there - per Misplaced Pages's image policy, you cannot upload your own images with any restrictiobsa to their use. Per ], "Misplaced Pages encourages users to upload their own images, but all user-created images must be licensed under a free license (such as the GFDL and/or an acceptable Creative Commons license) or be released into the public domain (no copyright)." Therefore, your credit template ] has been rolled back to an acceptable version. However, your other credit template ], along with the photo that it applied to, has had to be deleted, as there was no assertion from the copyright holder of permission - please see ]. Thanks. <b>]</b> 00:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC) |

== Your images == |

|
|

Thanks for your message on your talk page regarding your images. I've not been retaining ] since it is an exact copy of ] with the additional of your own name. Providing your name is included in the description on Commons then I feel this is acceptable. I will accept that this might not be completely the case on Commons yet and I will ensure your name is added to the image descriptions. Maybe you might wish to consider revising how you specify the author name to avoid duplication with the other template. On a slightly different topic, it might be helpful if you upload images with a more descriptive name than the default your camera uses. ] (]) 18:42, 28 December 2007 (UTC) |

|
:See ] for an example where I've amended the image page to specify your name as the author of the image as requested. I will work to ensure that your other images which I've moved to Commons follow this same format. The Attribution template requires you are attributed as the author as you wish per ]. Hope you enjoy your new camera. ] (]) 18:58, 28 December 2007 (UTC) |

::I've though a bit more about this issue and suggest that rather than using {{tl|Attribution}} and ] on your images that you use <nowiki>{{attribution|User:ACBest|Damon Powell|text=Required attribution text: Damon Powell, 2007}} |
|
|
</nowiki> which will produces the following: |
|
|
|
|
|
{{attribution|User:ACBest|Damon Powell|text=Required attribution text: Damon Powell, 2007}} |
|
|
|
|
|
::This simplifies your images pages by combining the information into one template. I will be changing the images already on Commons to use this format. If you do decide to use this, you could change ] to the text above and then just use that on all images which you release as attribution required. In this case you'd be advised to subsitute this by typing <nowiki>{{subst:User:ACBest/Credit}}</nowiki> rather than just <nowiki>{{User:ACBest/Credit}}</nowiki>. If you have any questions about this then don't hesitate to let me know. |

==Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Hull trains logo.gif== |
|
|
Thanks for uploading ''']'''. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at ] carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at ] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. |
|
|
|
|
|
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our ]. If you have any questions please ask them at the ]. Thank you.<!-- Template:No fair -->] (]) 14:36, 2 January 2008 (UTC) |
