Quaylink
What do you not like about my selection of images? I only actually removed one that was there previously, but I added two more - one of a stop, one of a Versa from the front, and one of a standard Stagecoach bus operating Q1. Surely that's preferable to a single image of a Versa showing only its side. And why are you attached to a list of the places it stops at? I included a prose version as a replacement, which says the same thing but with more context. I don't think the list will make any sense to anyone not already familiar with the area, and there was a link to a map for those who aren't. More importantly, in a few days, it will be out of date. Are you going to add a list for the new Q1/Q2/Q3? Because I don't particularly want to, but the article will obviously look odd and perhaps mislead people if it's not added. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JoNamorn (talk • contribs) 17:26, 6 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi JoNamorn - First off I apologize for reverting - I perhaps should've discussed it first instead of disruptively reverting so I apologize for that, Anyway I had a problem with you removing the image captions themselves as in my eyes if anyone wants to know more info on the vehicles they can then click on the links, (The images were fine), As for the routes - I hadn't realized you prosed it all ,
This is what i saw on vandal fighter and on the filtered recent changes , I Apologize if i have done a mistake or a mishap:

You're welcome :), No worries we all make mistakes - I've managed to cock up with 2 AFDs today so don't worry you're not the only one
Hi NikeThyrsus - Why didn't you read it before reverting ? .... In the UK cock-up means a mistake [1], I appreciate you're trying to help but you need to actually read the words and understand the context before reverting otherwise you could end up being blocked for disruptive editing,
I'd strongly suggest you use the tool on articles only,
Hi Godsy, I apologize for sounding like a dick but why are you notifying me ? ... I don't usually participate in TFDs and I obviously haven't created that template so I'm a tad lost ?
Notifying everyone that commented at the Captain Planet deletion discussion, as the template deletion discussion is related to the same topic. My intention is to improve the quality of the discussion and broaden participation to more fully achieve consensus. Clarityfiend made the suggestion that the template should be deleted at the Captain Planet discussion, which led me to nominate it for deletion.—Godsy(TALKCONT)04:30, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
Ahh right - The name did ring a bell to be honest but couldn't say where or when - It's been a busy few days , Anyway thanks for the heads up, Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk04:42, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Have you read Talk:Saoirse Ronan? MOS:IDENTITY and MOS:GNL would certainly seem to suggest that if Saoirse Ronan calls herself an actor as opposed to actress, a laHelen Mirren, and it's referenced, then that's what WP should also do. I am not aware that consensus gets to override the MOS. The "consensus" consists of 4 editors - not counting Musdan77, 2 of those are blocked, and 3 of them have 190 edits between them. Sundayclose also seems happy with "actor"... BastunĖġáḍβáś₮ŭŃ!19:42, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bastun, Yep seen the discussion, Well I still believe "Actress" is correct but I know you obviously think otherwise so I honestly think the best idea is to start an RFC instead otherwise you could end up being blocked for edit warring but anyway that's just my honest opinion, Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk19:59, 15 July 2015 (UTC)
Thank for !voting at my recent RfA. You voted Oppose so you get only one cookie, but a nice one. (Better luck next time.)

No Worries Rich, It's a shame but unfortunately it's one of those things, I have to say tho you did handle the RFA well and if you ever tried again I would most probably Support :), Anyway thanks and Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk20:42, 16 July 2015 (UTC)
Hello Davey2010. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of User:Jbeck8924/sandbox, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: This is a valid draft, given the claim to importance. Perhaps MFD would be better. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrogcroak22:27, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
No worries, To be honest I wasn't sure whether to blank or U5 so just CSD'd it & hoped for the best , Anyway thanks & Happy editing :) –Davey2010Talk23:30, 18 July 2015 (UTC)
Today's articles for improvement – discussion about changing project processes
Hello Davey2010:
A discussion is occurring at Change project processes regarding potential changes to the Today's articles for improvement Wikiproject. Your input is welcomed at the discussion.
What is with all the hostility? I didn't revert what you did, I just readded information that didn't need to be deleted. How about instead of reverting everything without a valid explanation. Thank you, so what is your problem with what's on the page? We can talk it out instead of getting pissy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.82.70.107 (talk • contribs) 02:46, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Some IP had reverted me for no apparent reason and and then you added the section that again wiped my edits, I'm not getting pissy I just don't appreciate some twat reverting my edits and then everyone adding constructive and non-constructive edits, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk02:51, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
hi- sorry about that i guess. just had found that site with a lot of good angela cartwright stuff and it had a link to to the Wikipedia page. Although I don;t really see how its any substantially different from like the IMDB page. well its your wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.87.64.147 (talk • contribs) 18:52, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

A discussion is occurring at the TAFI talk page regarding potential changes to the project's List of articles page. Your input is welcome at the discussion.
Hi. While I think that your closing rationale on this AfD discussion is very reasonable, you closed this way to soon. The rules state that an AfD should be allowed to run seven full days and you barely gave it 50 hours. That's way to short. Therefore I would kindly request you to undo your closing and allow the discussion to run its full course. Thanks, Tvx1 21:42, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for that. I too think that it looks like the result won't change as it stands now. But the default length of seven days is there to ensure that a considerable number of users can get aware of the discussion and weigh in their opinion and we should respect that. If only more supports for keep weigh in this case, so be it. Tvx1 21:53, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
No worries, All reopened, Yup they're supposed too but in obvious cases like these they can be closed earlier, Meh they're all open so harm done :) –Davey2010Talk21:57, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
Not wiki related
This is absolutely non-wiki related, I just wanted to say you seem like a pretty spot on guy! Suggesting from your user page we have a lot in common too! From Mk2's to Chloe Grace Moretz haha CDRL102 (talk) 00:19, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

Because you're a vandal with nothing else better to do ? ... If you're going to vandalise a few pages then it's only natural someone mass reverts you - If you dont wanna be mass-reverted then dont vandalize it's simple as that. –Davey2010Talk23:24, 10 August 2015 (UTC)

Quick question, since you were so helpful earlier. I'm trying to help out on the AfD board, and I noticed you responded on two AfDs that I also responded to. However, on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Maria Checa you voted to redirect to a list of playmates page, while on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Neriah Davis you voted for a straight delete, rather than a redirect to that same list. You've been doing this a lot longer than I have. Am I missing something? Thanks. Just trying to figure out how to be productive and as correct as possible. Onel5969TT me14:54, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Onel5969, I thought there was something odd when I !voted in one of 'em ..... & it was that! , Yup should've been a redirect thanks for noticing the error there , –Davey2010Talk15:46, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Being new to the process, it was confusing. I thought I was doing something wrong, especially after the war I appear to have started on Alice Goodwin. But thanks for helping again. Onel5969TT me15:49, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Nope you're doing everything fine! :), To be fair you can't specifically link to News results and say it meets GNG as that just pisses people off - You need to link the actual sources which you did do after anyway, Personally I don't think the sources are all that but meh we're different ... I'm waffling on sorry . –Davey2010Talk15:56, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Ottawahitech, Well COA Ontario and and the Linda Pinizzotto redirect are now up for deletion and to be perfectly honest I don't think your sources would be any better in saving the article, It's probably best you discuss it with Scope creep seeing as the redirect's up for deletion, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk23:20, 12 August 2015 (UTC)
Regardless of the attempts to throw in additional pages into the same wp:AfD without notification, can you educate me about the process in general? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 06:18, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

revert - this is not the result of this discussion, officially is speedily deleted per CSD U1 (user request to delete page in own userspace). If there are doubts, edit by Gene93k will be reverted and we will wait for officially closed of discussion by administrator. Subtropical-man talk (en-2)14:38, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
You speedy deleted it BECAUSE of that discussion so therefore it does fall under that discussion technically, Look there's far better things to do then be all technical over a closure - It was closed as a result of that discussion so pack it in & move on otherwise you'll find yourself blocked, As an aside I would ask Gene if he's fine with you amending it and if he is then well I'll say no more. –Davey2010Talk14:43, 29 August 2015 (UTC))
No, this is only your conjecture. I did request to delete page because I do not need a separate page to this, simply. It has no connection with Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion, It is another matter. I can create requests to delete page in user space when I want (I'm author), it is independent of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion or other. Oficially, is speedily deleted per CSD U1 (user request to delete page in own userspace).- please ask administrator who delete page. Please stop destructive editions. Subtropical-man talk #REDIRECT Template:Discreet abbreviation14:54, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
That's BS and you know it, As I said it was deleted per the discussion, Anyway I've asked Gene so if he says it's fine I'll say no more. –Davey2010Talk15:00, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi, most, actually all, Russian and Soviet actresses you've nominated are notable with references available only in Russian. I've been unlucky enough to be born in Soviet Union, so I saw them in movies when I was a teenager. I came across these nominations today, so I am going to add references later today. BTW, it's probably related to the latest changes in access to Russian segment of www. When I search for news or whatever in English I don't see anything, but when I search in Russian, I find plenty. So, I guess, this is the reason yo didn't come across all those references. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 06:53, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Hi Arthistorian1977, I always check before nominating but just couldn't find anything, I guess it doesn't help when I'm relying on my laptop to translate Russian to English which is probably the reason why I wasnt finding anything!, I'll add them later if you want - I nominated them so I should add them really :), Thanks for finding the sources btw, –Davey2010Talk06:57, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
The problem with Russian names is that not always automatic translation does proper wording. So, anyway, it's good that you found all these articles, because they are sitting there for years and definetely need cleanup and expanding. Thank you also. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 07:00, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Exactly you're spot on - I guess if I spoke Russian sourcing these would be a whole easier , That is true but to be fairWP:AFD is not cleanup, If you wanted to you could list the sources here and I'll add them later, Basically I don't expect you to add them, Thanks again for finding what you have :), I've closed all the AFDs and now I'm going to bed! , –Davey2010Talk07:31, 31 August 2015 (UTC)
Bus advertising
I finally managed to get the image. Not what I was hoping to click though. I got a brilliant snap back in April, but there was this man pouting in my frame so I couldn't use it. Yesterday, when I clicked, my camera suddenly stopped working, so I ended up using my phone. But, nevertheless, I think I got a good image for now. The bus, operator logo, ad are all clearly visible, so I think it does justice to the article now. :) --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 05:00, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
I was surprised you still remembered , I completely forgot about it and only remembered few days ago, I checked Commons & found nothing but didn't really see the point in saying anything .... and then to my surprised a few days later you change it , That does my head! - You take a perfect image and you get some tool who gets in the way , The image is much much better so thank you for uploading it :) –Davey2010Talk09:14, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
That one image has been on top of my list of images to click. I've been making visits to that part of the city to get a perfect click. --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 15:32, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi
How do you amend a page title on wiki? I'm updating the details about my kids school which has changed name with effect from today.

Hi Chantrygirl, Up the top of the article you have Article - Talk - Read - Edit - View - View History - More - TW,
If you click move your mouse over more - "Move" will appear below, Click Move,
In the "To new title" box type the new name and in the reason box put a reason, and click Move :)
Hi, I notice you're on Wikipedia:List of administrator hopefuls. Wikipedia would benefit from more admins. If you have been editing for more than 12 months (preferably 24+ months), and have been editing fairly consistently for the past 6 months (preferably 12+ months) with at least 100 edits a month (this tool will help) - or an explanation for any gaps, and haven't been blocked or topic banned in the past three years - or have a good explanation for a recent block or ban, don't have a recent history of edit warring or arguing with other editors, feel you can explain why you wish to be an admin, can demonstrate some understanding of Wikipedia's procedures and processes, or know where to go for guidance, and are confident enough to go through a RfA, please get in touch with me. We can talk about it some more, and if all looks OK, I'll nominate you or suggest what you can do to improve your chances. SilkTork✔Tea time10:34, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi SilkTork, Thanks that does mean alot, but unfortunately I get annoyed very easily So I personally think it's best I don't become an Admin, I'm not using this as an excuse but If I were to get annoyed & for instance tell someone to FO - No one would really care as such but If it were to happen as an admin - I'd be dragged to ANI and Hanged, drawn and quartered so to make my life(and others) alot easier I'd prefer just to stay as an editor (and plus I've seen the amount of shit Admins go through and put up with and to be honest I'd rather not go through all that), But anyways thanks for your message - It does mean alot so thanks, Anyway happy editing :), –Davey2010Talk12:02, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
No worries. If you do sort out your anger issues (I find it helps to type out the nasty message with all the flying fucks, etc, and then gradually edit it down until it's very calm and polite and to the point, and then post that) then get in touch, and we'll go through your contributions to see what chances you have at RfA. SilkTork✔Tea time20:33, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
I just saw this "The result was no consensus. Not gonna lie even I'm a tad confused on the "fancruft" part but whatever, Consensus is to Keep" To me it looks contradictory: "no consensus" vs. "Consensus is to Keep" . I'm slightly befuddled now. Kraxler (talk) 15:26, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Could you doublecheck your close on this? Your boldfaced close says "no consensus", but your rationale says "consensus is to keep", which IMO is the only possible result given that no one supported the unelaborated nomination. Thanks, postdlf (talk) 15:40, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
And...it looks like I should've read your talk page before posting this, because Kraxler already raised this same point with you directly above. ; ) postdlf (talk) 15:41, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks, I've done it before too, in one case deleting when I meant to close as keep. Mobile device editing is dangerous. postdlf (talk) 20:08, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Holy shit really ? , Bet that was awkward restoring lol, I've personally never edited with a mobile but have heard it's more easy to fuck up on a mobile than it is with a pc, –Davey2010Talk20:20, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Emma Leonard
I'd like to know why you suggested deletion for Emma Leonard's page. I actually can't understand your explanation in the discussion page. Could you tell me the exact reason in a few words? Is she not famous enough, maybe? Also, I want to add that, the Emma Leonard I wrote the page about, is not the one who acted in Home and Away, but the one who acted in Wicked Science. Yes, there are two Australian actresses whose name is Emma Leonard and users in IMDb made a mess, as they considered them as one person and mixed their roles.--Supremo (talk) 11:08, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Dave! Its been long since we talked last, how are you? I want to make an announcement but I can't figure out any other way but to drop a note on few intimate editor's talk page, including you! I appreciate if you can have few minutes to spend on reading this thread on my talk page. If you feel that I deserve a scholarship, I appreciate your endorsement on that thread. Please don't consider this an unusual spamming, I don't have any other way of announcing this. Thank you very much! Have a nice day! JimCarter12:41, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Jim, I know it feels like forever eh, Yeah I'm alright thanks just done the weekly shop (Not fun lol!), How are you ?, I've just read your statement and quite honestly I'd more than happy to Support :) –Davey2010Talk15:27, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for this AFD close. I was waiting for the nominator to confirm his endorsement. His only comment to me started off "If..." which I did not take as a solid endorsement of my suggestion. In this case it was better to wait than to jump the gun and be wrong. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:43, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi davidwr, No worries :), Sorry I didn't mean you or the nom - I actually meant an AFD closer - A few closers patrol the logs so IMHO someone should've closed it sooner but there we go, All done now anyway :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk19:28, 5 September 2015 (UTC)
well judging by his reply he wanted to withdraw and redirect instead so you could've perhaps closed it sooner anyway?, Personally I would've just wrapped it up there and then but meh it's closed at long last so "all's good in the hood" as they say. –Davey2010Talk20:08, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Puja Joshi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Some one who is trying to edit the article is posting the details of an article named Pooja Joshi. Check all the details after personal info in that article. Difference between Puja Joshi and Pooja Joshi is that Puja is a Gujarati television actress, while Pooja is Hindi television actress. Please mind the spelling of the name.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Ah I probably should've checked before making that comment!, Thanks for telling me tho, I've now struck that part :), Thanks & Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk20:12, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi Davey2010,
Can you take a look at the above. User:Mr.Bob.298 has came along and created this page today. Below it, is the original page. Seems to duplicate a ton of content. I was planning to review it, but it seems to be kind of odd and I don;t even know if it is genuine. Seems to be a genuine editor though.scope_creep (talk) 17:20, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi scope_creep, Personally I'd say the article goes in to more detail whereas Clinton just lists names so personally I'd say the article's fine, However if you believe it should be deleted then you can always AFD it, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk19:09, 26 September 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I see you reverted my edit. Is it alright to add the rest of the information back as it is all factual and I do not think it breaks any of the criteria? Lucky102 (talk) 22:17, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
Lucky102, Ah ok :), There was a community discussion about it and for different reasons it was deemed useless on here so was basically deprecated, Some of us remove them as we go but considering there's nearly 5 million articles on this site it's impossible to remove every single "persondata" on here so if you see them just remove them - It'd help alot in the long run :), Thanks & Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk22:42, 27 September 2015 (UTC)
You're the 2nd person in the space of 10 minutes to make this mistake - I haven't moved the page ..... I've just closed the discussion but I'll undo the closure to save more of everyone being confused! . –Davey2010Talk21:47, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
Can I undo my ....shirt ?, Sure Neil I'm sure you'd love to see my beautiful pecks!! , That photo is perfect - Think I might wipe the userpage and just use that . –Davey2010Talk22:05, 28 September 2015 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!
The Barnstar of Good Humor
Keep as meets PORNBIO & GNG - As always this !vote has nothing to do with looks!..... –Davey2010Talk 22:15, 23 September 2015 (UTC)
Translating that for the closing admin, Davey thinks she is hot and therefore voting keep on that basis but is ashamed to admit it. Spartaz Humbug! 06:29, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
I'm saying absolutely nothing *cough*. –Davey2010Talk 14:39, 25 September 2015 (UTC).
You deserve this —☮JAaron95Talk 07:43, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Sorry, but I'm not as amused. This should be renamed the sexist barnstar. More to the point, these keep votes are causing extra work as the non admins relisting debates are taking them seriously, instead of waiting for an admin to come along and ignore your homage to HOTTIE before deleting. AFD really doesn't need the extra work. SpartazHumbug!09:07, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Thanks JAaron95, You need to have a laugh on here otherwise it becomes a bore ,
Spartaz - Most if not all admins ignore the comment so it's not causing any work at all, I appreciate some may see it as sexist but come on how can you say Delete to this. –Davey2010Talk11:06, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Because she fails GNG and PORNBIO. And while admins might be able to see through your vote, the discussions are still getting relisted because of them. That's what is causing the extra work. If you can't bring yourself to offer a policy based comment them there is no reason to poison the well. I suppose at this point I should refer you to the second word in my signature. SpartazHumbug!11:16, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Whether I !vote Keep or Delete the AFD will be relisted anyway - AFDs aren't ever closed on one !vote so whatever I say it'd be relisted - I could say "Keep - I like ponies" and it'd still be relisted , I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this, Meh you're not that bad - There's a few here that are literally the definition of "Buh Humbug" –Davey2010Talk11:22, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
AfD closures
Hi. Thank you for closing AfDs. When closing as 'Redirect' please remember to include the 'R from X' template on the redirect page so that it adds the correct message and automatically populates the appropriate category. In the case of this page for example , it would be {{R from school}}. I've done it for you this time - take a look. Happy editing! --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 10:14, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
Kudpung - What would I do with out you eh! , I'm sure this is the 3rd time you've reminded me!, I only ever use "R from" for schools and I rarely close schools these days which is probably it keeps slipping my mind (If I do it more often again I'd probably remember! ), Anyway thanks for the reminder .... I'll probably forget and you'll probably tell me again in a few months . Thanks & Happy editing, –Davey2010Talk11:11, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
You are amazing man! Don't tell anybody but, I have been stalking your talk page since long for the humorous stuff that you stay. With all the stress, how great the world would get if everybody was so light-hearted. You do an excellent job, and you just rock! You must have received plenty of these but here's one more XD Yash!19:08, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
Arr thanks Yash!, I'm not all mad & full of rage contrary to popular belief , Meh it's good to have a laugh once in a while

Hi Supdiop, No worries we all make mistakes, Don't mean to sound funny but I've not seen your name pop up so I simply assumed you were a newbie here, Even us normal editors get templated ... Unfortunately we can't escape them! :) –Davey2010Talk15:54, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
I interpreted your initial !vote as a keep, literally, per your statement, "Keep as meets PORNBIO & GNG". Please consider not being coy about !votes, stating the opposite of your actual opinion. AfD is not a good 'ol boys club where everyone will know when you're joking or not. Thanks for taking this into consideration into the future. Respectfully, North America100012:47, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Northamerica1000 - Nope you're absolutely right not everyone will know it's a "Hottie" !vote - I know this may sound stupid but I actually assumed everyone knew, I will try and refrain from making them in future and I apologize for the confusion, –Davey2010Talk13:08, 16 October 2015 (UTC)
Sigs?
Hey mang, what happened here? I know that the user's list of refs was obnoxious, but eight signatures? I am choosing to assume that was a very weird anomaly, not a deliberately irritating edit... Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:38, 18 October 2015 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Childline Logo 1998.gif
Thank you for uploading File:Childline Logo 1998.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Wow Davey2010, I didn't realize that I tagged something you uploaded! Yeah, I've been rather quick at tagging these lately, and to just make sure that they don't get overlooked later on due to new uploads going deeper into the Upload Log. (So, I don't have any prejudice on when I tag these, especially since most of the File-namespace WP:CSD criteria have a 2–7 day delay before the deletions can be executed.) Ha, you know that I know you know what you are doing! Steel1943 (talk) 20:24, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
I have to admit I did find it a bit strange , Anyway no worries and I'm sorry for getting abit rattled at you, Seeing as you're going through the backlog I'll let you off :), It's just that's never happened before so was a tad confuzzled but hey there's a first time for everything , Anyway thanks for sorting through the backlog :), Cheers, –Davey2010Talk20:30, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

Your closure of Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Whataboutism is incorrect. Consensus isn't a voting contest. Consensus is based on arguments presented. Not a single one of those who voted to keep article actually addressed the fact that article breaks rule on neologisms. Furthermore, that article was marked with neologism template several times in the past (and template was silently removed later on without proper discussion) by different editors, who had no chance to express their opinion in AfD discussion. You didn't also seems to take into account that there are grounds to believe that wikipedia is being used to promote this neologism and so there is going to be plenty of resistance, considering how politically charged it is. If you don't understand neologism rule (and it's quite important in a lot of editors eyes as it was proposed to be grounds for speedy deletion in the past), then let somebody else deal with AfD. Niyaro (talk) 14:16, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
With the greatest of respect I've been doing AFD !voting & closing for roughly a year or 2 so I think I know more about it than you, I did close it on consensus.... I don't think I've ever closed a discussion just based on numbers, I honestly cannot see how it could've been closed any other way? ...., The community doesn't take to kindly to promotional crap here and we certainly don't try and promote anything, Anyway I won't be reopening as it's an obvious Keep so if you disagree you'll have to visit WP:DRV, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk14:41, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
Done - Reopened and relisted - Looking at the AFD some of the !votes are pretty weak, I still think it's a keep but going to DRV would just be a waste of everyones time so to save all that shit it's reopened and now listed on todays AFD log, Cheers, –Davey2010Talk15:08, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
Niyaro - Aaaaaand I've reclosed it again, Since your comment a few more Keeps have come, Admittingly the NEO side hasn't been address but either way it's an obvious Keep so no point dragging the AFD on just for the sake of it, If you have an issue you'll need to visit DRV, Thanks. –Davey2010Talk11:52, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Charles, It's the fives I'm dreading although I suppose that's a long way a way , Perhaps I should retire & take up knitting, I've always wanted a jumper like the image
Damn sorry I didn't even know you posted here!, Would've been nice if Echo done its job but there we go , Anyway thanks Sam! :) –Davey2010Talk14:56, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Whataboutism. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Niyaro (talk) 14:39, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Davey2010. I was looking over the November 1 AfD log, and I stumbled upon your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Atit Shah. It appears you may have botched the redirect. I think what happened was you meant to copy-paste the redirect target, but accidentally copied the text of the whole AfD discussion instead. All the best, Mz7 (talk) 04:26, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Per your note at the top of your user talk page, I've just reversed the closure. I'll leave it to you or someone else to re-close it. Cheers, Mz7 (talk) 04:39, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Mz7 - Thanks so much for spotting that!, You're right I was meant to have copied & pasted the film titled so lord knows what hell went wrong , I've reclosed it & hopefully correctly this time , Thanks again :), –Davey2010Talk04:48, 8 November 2015 (UTC)
No worries! We all have the right to screw up every now and then. However, I believe the following is in order:
Mz7Could I have some chips & ketchup too ? , I've just realized the bloke's name above is "Atit" ... Maybe I should rename my self to "Atit" , Anyway thanks for the heads up, Thanks, –ATitTalk05:57, 8 November 2015 (UTC)

I dig a little and found this. It takes a while to load though. If I am not wrong, according to this, you have made over 1900 NACs! That's... Awesome! XD Yash!04:09, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
Shit sorry Yash! I haden't even realized you replied, Strangely enough I went straight to that gadget (I have it here :P ), Thanks for that link - It'll make counting a whole lot easier :), Have a nice day, –Davey2010Talk21:45, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
You are invited to participate in this discussion at the TAFI talk page regarding improving the automation of project processes and management of the project. Your input is appreciated.
I'd like you to please review this AfD regarding the article Norman Milliken.
During that AfD, the "keep" comments were made because the settlement called "Milliken" was assumed to have been named after Norman Milliken; a dubious claim made by the article's creator User:Unionville. Careful research--conducted after the second AfD had closed--shows that this claim is not true. I have outlined my reasons for this here.
Nonetheless, it was that dubious claim which galvanized the "keep" supporters in the second AfD. In their eye, having a settlement named after you would therefore give you notability on Wikipedia. For example:
User:Unionville wrote: "the settlement named after its founder is notable, ergo, he is notable".
User:DGG wrote: "if a town -- even a hamlet -- was named after him, he's notable".
User:Johnrpenner wrote: "it is useful to know for whom a place is named".
Knowing now that the town likely wasn't named after him, this would surely have swayed the votes.
Furthermore, the article's creator, User:Unionville, clearly attempted to WP:VOTESTACK throughout the AfD with the following edits:
He contacted User talk:Раціональне анархістhere to notify them of the AfD, and to state: "You judged the article as amended as a keep...this should be a speedy keep."
He contacted User talk:DGGhere to notify them of the AfD, and to state: "you reviewed the discussion and judged the article as amended as a keep".
He contacted User talk:Coffeehere to notify them of the AfD, and to state: "You reviewed the discussion and judged the article as amended as a keep...this should be a speedy keep".
Hi Magnolia677, To be totally honest when I closed it I wondered if it was the wisest thing to do! , Well in light of the canvassing / your note on the TP, (and plus you asked nicely ) I'll reopen and relist it for you :), See I can be nice haha! :), Thanks for asking first! :), Thanks, –Davey2010Talk00:12, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Regarding your revert of my image. The image of the front view was better quality, unlike the other one which was really wedged in with the distracting line. I made an edit on my one that included editing out the shadows.
I will not edit the image back unless you tell me why the other image was better. Also notably the rear view of the car was low quality and I intended to replace the image back.
Well shit I just posted on the talkpage , Hi EurovisionNim,
To me this image is way too bright and to be really honest it looks awful (Sorry I've realized your the photographer of the vehicle), To be fair there's pros and cons with both but overall IMHO the first looks much much better,
Weirdly enough the only thing I find distracting in the first image is the blue cars headlight ,
To be honest I've had screen-brightness issues with the laptop so maybe my eyes are fucked for the night!, I'll revert for now as to be fair it could all just be my eyes , Oh I love creating so much shit! , Sorry dude!, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk06:11, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
EurovisionNim - Before you haul my arse to ANI and start crying I would like to point 2 things out - 1) I swear all the time and so I do try & keep it to a minimum on here, 2) The whole context above was me having a bit of a laugh.... we wasn't arguing and until now I wasn't pissed off so how you're "offended" I'll never know, Considering I self reverted on both articles the last thing I expected was the whole "there will be consequences for your language" bollocks but anywho I have some advice for you - Get a sense of humour and learn to have a laugh for fucksake!, Now kindly stay the hell off this page. –Davey2010Talk06:38, 15 November 2015 (UTC)

Essentially you closing Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Raidió Fáilte was a withdrawn nominate and I think inappropriate based on WP:NACD where it says: The sole exception is if you are closing your own withdrawn nomination as a speedy keep and all other viewpoints expressed were for keep as well. Well all the other views were not for a keep so as the nominator and discussion participant I think you should have let someone else close it. ww2censor (talk) 22:44, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
The entire discussion had gone around in circles and to be honest I didn't see the point in letting the discussion carry on for another week, It was the shittiest close I've done to date but I essentially followed IAR, You disagree with it and so do I but it is what it is, The way I saw it was the article's not going to be deleted and leaving it open for another week meant more arguements, disagreements and to a certain point timewasting and so I figured all our times would be better spent improving the encyclopedia than having a week of arguements and filling up the entire AFD (As if it's not big enough! ), Had I had faith in it being deleted I would obviously have never have closed it, Thanks for your message, –Davey2010Talk23:32, 17 November 2015 (UTC)
Bot automation at Wikipedia:Today's articles for improvement
Over the past two weeks, there has been extensive discussion on introducing bot automation to assist with maintenance of the Today's Articles for Improvement project. A bot has now been approved for trial and will carry out the weekly duties. The bots first run will occur around 00:00, 22 November 2015 (UTC) (midnight on Sunday).
If you have been assisting any of the weekly maintenance tasks, please refrain from doing so this week. The bot needs to be tested and proven it can do the job, and it only gets one chance per week. The tasks will include:
Adding {{TAFI}} to the new article for improvement, remove {{TAFI}} from last week's article and add {{Former TAFI}} to the talk page
Notify relevant WikiProjects that the new TAFI is within their scope
Send a mass message to everyone on the notification list of the new TAFI selection
Updating the accomplishments and archiving selections is still done manually, along with daily tasks such as adding approved entries to the articles for improvement page. These will become automated in the near future.
We hope the bot proves to serve well, and by carrying out the routine housekeeping tasks we can boost the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the project. MusikBot thanks you for your service in helping with the weekly tasks in the past, and for your cooperation during this trial period :)
I do not think you should have closed a discussion which you had yourself started. Just withdrawing the nomination would have been the right thing to do. The discussion had not been going long and I do not see any clear consensus to keep all of the stubs, if any. Non-admins should only close where the outcome is clear and there has been adequate time for editors to find it. We now have a bunch of B road stubs tagged as having been kept at AfD when some of them should probably be deleted. Just my view. Have a good day:)Charles (talk) 09:48, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Charles, I can't withdraw as you !voted Delete (If there's a delete vote then you can't withdraw), I'd love for them all to be deleted but I don't think it's gonna happen and to be fair it does sound a better idea to nominate individually but not gonna war over it, Thanks & you have a nice day too :) –Davey2010Talk13:22, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
Hi Charlesdrakew - No worries I mean technically you were following policy, I apologize if I seemed rather pissed off with you - Nothing personal I'm just having a rather shit day and it doesn't seem like it's getting better , Anyway thanks and I hope you have a nice day ... evening , Thanks. –Davey2010Talk15:57, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
I admire folks who can change their minds, like I've had to do many times myself here in Wikipedia. It reflects a state of open-mindedness and wisdom. So kudos to you!--Tomwsulcer (talk) 02:26, 30 November 2015 (UTC)
Thanks Tomwsulcer - The amount of times I've seen AFDs where good sources have been listed and still the nominator wants it gone!, If the sources are fine I do withdraw (regardless of !votes) but if they're just mentions I tend not to so I guess today was a lucky day , Thanks for finding the sources :), Thanks and Have a nice day :), –Davey2010Talk02:32, 30 November 2015 (UTC)

The page will be deleted if there's enough Delete !votes but if people !vote Keep it'll be kept (and before you get any ideas creating a few accounts and !voting delete with them won't get it deleted and instead would mean you'll be blocked indefinitely and the article would be kept). –Davey2010Talk19:21, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Ok. Thanks. But I am attempting to save the page openly and none is here to help me because no users from the concerned community and the subject poetry (writing and reading) is here. I know the notability and genre so trying to save the page from deletion. Thank you very much for the great help you extended to me. Nannadeem (talk) 19:30, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
You would need to source the article here and now and once done state it on the AFD, Unfortunately we don't save articles just so someone can improve it so you'd need to do everything you can to source and improve it, No worries you're welcome :) –Davey2010Talk19:53, 5 December 2015 (UTC)
Thank you.
Thank you for your comment on my user talk, I highly appreciate the help.
I am using Wikipedia on an iOS device so unsure whether or not I will be able to download Twinkle. I am interested in downloading it.
EDIT: I was just about to correct it when I realised that you have done it for me. Thank you once again.
My edit was adding factual useful information, if anything the user who revert it are the disruptive personnel they have removed several pieces that other users have added. Next time take a look at them before blaming me. MORON. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Devonexpressbus (talk • contribs) 20:34, 7 December 2015 (UTC)

Hello Davey2010. May I kindly ask that you refrain from conducting extensive or heated discussions on the changing username pages, and carry out any user-to-user discussions on your or the other user's user talk page? A bureaucrat has, in the past, commented that these discussions unnecessarily clutter up the page and are detrimental. Thanks, —k6ka🍁 (Talk · Contributions) 00:59, 15 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi K6ka - Nope I admit I should've let the arguement drop, Problem is I left him a warning back in July which in some respects was ignored so in this case I wasn't really left with any other choice but to question him at CHUU, Anyway I've collapsed the discussion to make life easier for everyone . –Davey2010Talk01:35, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi there. I wanted to explain my recent revert at Bethany Mota. I guess it's kind of annoying to some editors, but I prefer using ISO 8601 date format. It's faster for me to type, it avoids the whole American/European date format wars, and it takes up less space in citations. It's a bit frustrating to see people come in with scripts and change date format in articles with no discussion on the talk page. The worst part is that they always cite MOS:DATEFORMAT, which specifically allows ISO 8601 dates. On the same guideline, a little bit after that paragraph, it says in WP:DATERET not to change date formats without discussion. I admit it's silly to argue over the date format used in citations, but it's become a pet peeve of mine to have intentionally chosen formatting changed without discussion. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:44, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I disagree - I believe using DMY/MDY is better and quite honestly is far more understandable to everyone .... But I've read the numerous discussions and I know there's not actual consensus to use DMY/MDY so edit warring would be utterly stupid, I've also just noticed you reverted on the 12th of Dec [5] saying "Restore original date format. Bullying is already covered in the next section" - Umm I wasn't bullying tho?, Either way if I've changed the dateformat twice unknowingly in the space of a year then It'll probably get changed again soon! (I can't keep track of every article where someone has an issue unfortunately ). –Davey2010Talk09:05, 21 December 2015 (UTC)
Someone else added a bit about how Bethany Mota was bullied in her teen years. However, this is already covered in the next section, which makes that edit redundant. That's what I was referring to; sorry about the ambiguity. If someone said that you're a bully, I'd question their sanity. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 11:38, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

Heyo Dave, how are you? I remember reading somewhere that according to *some shortcut* AfDs can be initiated with the rationale of merging. Does my memory serve me right or did I confuse one thing with the other. I saw an AfD today where the participants were demanding a "procedural close" cause the nominator's arguments were for a merger. I remember someone pointing to the policy where something like that was written maybe and I am unable to find it. Let me know if that is true or if I am just looking stupid right now. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the force be with you... Yash!04:22, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Morning Yash! - I know it's rather confusing!, From what I can gather - If the nominator wants a full on Merge then the community usually think it's best to close the AFD and the nominatior should start a discussion on the talkpage instead, If a nominator puts "Fails X and X, Perhaps Merge is best?" then that's fine as they're merely suggesting it :) .... I've just woke up so I doubt I'd made any sense ,
Got it! I was talking about this - the former applies here. Anyways, do you know if the latter is written somewhere in the guidelines? Yash!12:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

Going to be completely honest I can't read Chinese at all but neither can any closer here
...That's because the few of us AfD closers who can also read Chinese have found ourselves in such a rare stead that we want to comment in the AfD rather than wait for the chance to close them! I wish there are more of us. Deryck C.14:27, 22 December 2015 (UTC)
Deryck Chan - Oh crap I'm so sorry!, Unfortunately tho it is true most closers here can't read Chinese so I figured I may aswell save time and close it, (With any language my laptop can translate it but with Chinese/Korean it just messes it all up :( ), Sorry I've offended you, Have a great Xmas & New Year :) –Davey2010Merry Xmas / Happy New Year14:41, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

I know. I am sorry. I am a technological Luddite and have absolutely no knowledge of or experience with the vast majority of Wikipedia templates.

Good Morning Zebadeeboing, Sorry about that I ended up forgetting about your post, I redirected the article as it had only one source which was poor and seeing as I couldn't find anything I thought It was better to Redirect instead of AFD'ing it, Have you found anything source wise ?, I'd be happy to undo the redirect providing sources are okay, Thanks, –Davey2010Merry Xmas / Happy New Year01:17, 27 December 2015 (UTC)
