File:TransAsia Flight 235 crash.png

Hello. I object to your action on this image, on several counts.

• The image size was well within the guidelines at WP:IMAGERES.
• The rationale for the image size was explained clearly on the talk page and in the FUR.
• All requirements were met as per IMAGERES.
• Did you even read the talk page thread? You certainly didn't add a word there.
• Your upload is not an improvement. You have substantially reduced the visual impact by cropping off a large part of the wing of the aircraft.
• As I understand it, it is your function to ensure that guidelines are followed (they were), not to override the editorial judgment of the editors working on an article. Do I have that wrong? ―Mandruss ☎ 18:15, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

I see your revert. Thank you very much! ―Mandruss ☎ 18:24, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for February 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Avianca Flight 52, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Flaps. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Administrators' noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. Juneau Mike (talk) 01:16, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I've posted an update to this section. Specifically, "I concur in the closing of this discussion. Ideally, User:Michaelh2001 should have posted to AN or ANI to request an uninvolved closure of the debate. However, as there was only one dissenting opinion over the course of a month, and I find a lack of consensus in the debate, it is determined that there is no consensus to perform the merge.".

Thank you for quality articles on disasters, such as September 11 attacks, American Airlines Flight 77 and 2015 Chattanooga shootings, and art, such as Unique Forms of Continuity in Space and Grande Odalisque, for politely warning users of bad referencing, original research, test editing etc, and for gnomish updates and reverts, for templates such as {{September 11 attacks}} and expanding templates, - you are an awesome Wikipedian!

Recent edits

Hi, Veggies! Your name has come up a lot on my watchlist lately due to your work on photo templates on the talk pages of school articles. I just undid one of your edits, to Talk:Seneca Academy and Circle School. Talk pages of pages that have been redirected are not redirected to the talk page of the target of the redirect on the article page. They are left as is to preserve any record of why the page was redirected. Of course removing photo requested templates is fine, as would be changing the class to "redirect". If you've done any more of them, please undo them. Thanks. John from Idegon (talk) 17:42, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

@John from Idegon: Thanks for letting me know. I had done that to some other article talk-pages. Those have now been reverted. I was under the impression that if there was nothing but templates on the talk page (no actual "talk"), I could redirect. Thanks for letting me know. -- Veggies (talk) 17:47, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for creating 2017 Delaware earthquake, Veggies!

Wikipedia editor Gatemansgc just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Largest earthquake in the history of Delaware, previous was a 3.8. Therefore, this is likely to be notable, despite the "weak" magnitude compared to California earthquakes. The one 6 years ago continued notability.

Proposed deletion of 2017 Delaware earthquake

The article 2017 Delaware earthquake has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

not newsworthy, very small magnitude

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Isotope graphs

You've recently removed a graph of isotopes from several articles. Such large changes should typically be discussed first, especially when the reason for them is not apparent. I invite you to start a discussion about what you find problematic in the graph at WT:ELEMENTS, so either the image can be fixed, or the problem understood and remedied.

Survey Invite

I'm working on a study of political motivations and how they affect editing. I'd like to ask you to take a survey. The survey should take no more than 1-2 minutes. Your survey responses will be kept private. Our project is documented at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Wikipedia_%2B_Politics.

Obvious copyright violations

Hi,

I saw you spotted a whole bunch of image copyright violations. Thanks for that! When they are very obvious copyright violations, it isn't really necessary to go through FFD. In the future, you could tag them for speedy deletion with an explanation instead of a URL. I've done that for these images. Cheers. -- Whpq (talk) 21:45, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

@Whpq: Yeah, the only thing is that CSD forces me to put in a URL and I don't want to research every specific URL in Google Earth or Maps for each image. Can I just put a generic URL in like earth.google.com or maps.google.com? -- Veggies (talk) 21:48, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

As I mentioned in my post, stick in an explanation instead of a URL. I know the parameter says URL, but you can stick in an explanation and admins seem to find this acceptable as I've not run across any objections when I've done it. -- Whpq (talk) 21:51, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Oh, I see you wrote that. Sorry. Thank you. -- Veggies (talk) 22:10, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Hoda Muthana and Tweets

For the above article, tweets made by the subject or about the subject are not relevant to the subject's entire life or necessary to accurately describe the situation the subject is currently in. There is no need to add the tweets when they are generally mentioned in the article itself. The case may be different if the tweets were somehow central and necessary for a reader's understanding of the article, but that is not the case here. Going further, why these tweets, what makes them special of all of the tweets she allegedly made? As far as the president's tweet, he has made thousands of tweets on both sides of numerous issues. Yet, we do not add his tweets to every article or subject he touches.

Also, one of the tweets is picked up by Google as the article synopsis and instead of giving a brief preview of the article, the following is what Google is showing when you search for the subejct:

All sustained WP:NOTFORUM violations are considered vandalism: their verbal diarrhea had nothing remotely to do with discussing improvements to the article. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 02:03, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

​ Wrong on all counts. That may have been an opinionated comment, but it wasn't vandalism in the least. Which is why you're not going to revert it. 😁 -- Veggies (talk) 02:12, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Another load of nonsense demonstrating no comprehension of WP:NOTFORUM. And I still get notified of {{Hidden ping}}, there's no need for the pretense of politeness. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 02:17, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

​ Then, go ahead and revert it. Don't you enjoy getting blocked? 😏 -- Veggies (talk) 02:22, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Nowhere as much as having the delusion to believe a minor Richter scale 4.1 earthquake warrants notability for its own article, only to face the embarrassment of watching it be !voted unanimously "Delete" merely months later. Or, the pleasure induced by bloviating for the Tea Party, reviled outside the U.S. for its extremist and violent tendencies. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 02:30, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

​ See? Now you're getting it: this is soapboxing, but not vandalism. You're making progress! 👍 -- Veggies (talk) 02:36, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Nothing to do with the IP's WP:NOTFORUM violations, and we're not posting on an article or template talk page, but nice try at being snide. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 02:38, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

The removed IP edit does somewhat fall under WP:NOTFORUM as not particularly relevant (albeit tangentially trying to make a slightly related point) to the discussed topic. At the same time, while NOTFORUM violations are subject to removal, they do not fall under vandalism. There’s no more issue here. More importantly, both of you need to stop the taunting. — MarkH₂₁^talk 02:42, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Q.E.D. -- Veggies (talk) 02:50, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

QED indeed, you don't get to selectively apply WP:NOTFORUM, and the IP I reported was blocked after all. CaradhrasAiguo (leave language) 19:09, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

I didn't delete your comment, did I? -- Veggies (talk) 19:10, 5 April 2020 (UTC)

Hi Veggies,

This is to let you know that File:Bolungarvik Pano from Avalanche Dam.jpg, a featured picture you uploaded, has been selected as the English Wikipedia's picture of the day (POTD) for June 17, 2022.

Bolungarvík is a small town and the only built-up area in the municipality of Bolungarvíkurkaupstaður in the northwest of Iceland, located on the peninsula of the Westfjords, approximately 14 kilometres (8.7 miles) from the town of Ísafjörður and 473 kilometres (294 miles) from the capital city Reykjavík. The town is near abundant fishing grounds and has been used as an outpost for fishing since the 17th century, making it one of the earliest in Iceland. Bolungarvík was not accessible by road until 1950, and in 2010 a tunnel was opened under the mountain to bypass the old road, which was frequently subject to avalanches and rock falls. This panoramic photograph of Bolungarvík was taken in early July 2018 from the avalanche dam that overlooks the town. Lupin, which covers much of this area of Iceland in summer, is visible at the extreme bottom left of the image.

Source for New York Post article on The Day After

Hey. I looked into that bit you removed as unsourced and found that it did have a cite, the Empire article we use at five points in the article, but the cite was removed on style grounds, since the paragraph cited that source too often.

I've restored that bit and the cite, and the sentence after it which also lost its cite and met the same fate. That cool? --Kizor 21:29, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

​I mean, I suppose that it suffices for Wikipedia's purposes. The problem that remains is: this is a claim about the New York Post. I'd like a direct citation to the NYP article in question, not a secondary source about another publisher's claims. Also: that particular citation is, unfortunately, rather weak. There's no cited author, no clear issue number. It isn't helped by the fact that the article isn't available online (even behind a paywall). As it stands, though, I'm not going to futz with it anymore. Thanks for providing the citation. -- Veggies (talk) 22:39, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Sums it up. --Kizor 02:40, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Deleting illustrations everywhere

I object to your reverts and mass deletion endeavours of new wikimedian illustration everywhere, to me it is not constructive towards the people who have spent hours drawing illustrations for the various projects. Hyruspex (talk) 18:54, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

Your objections have already been raised at WP:NORN, but appear to be in the minority. Zaathras (talk) 01:26, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

WP:ONUS

Maybe before writing out tedious, verbose talkpage comments, you should read this. There is clearly no consensus to include the footage in the article, and therefore it shouldn't be included. Hemiauchenia (talk) 23:47, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to the Arab–Israeli conflict, a topic designated as contentious. This standard message is designed as an introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

• adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
• comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
• follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
• comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
• refrain from gaming the system.

Additionally you must be logged-in, have 500 edits and an account age of 30 days and are not allowed to make more than 1 revert within 24 hours on a page within this topic.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.

WP:1RR at 2023 Israel–Hamas war

In the Arab–Israeli conflict topic area editors are limited to 1 revert per article per day. However, at 2023 Israel–Hamas war you have exceeded this, making the following reverts:

1. 13:08, 16 October 2023
2. 13:31, 16 October 2023
3. 23:35, 16 October 2023
4. 02:44, 17 October 2023

Note that for our purposes, The term "revert" is defined as any edit (or administrative action) that reverses or undoes the actions of other editors, in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material, and whether performed using undo, rollback, or done so completely manually. A series of consecutively saved reverting edits by one user, with no intervening edits by another user, counts as one revert.

Please self-revert any edits you can currently revert, to come as close to compliance with the restriction as possible, and in the future please be careful about any reverts that you make. BilledMammal (talk) 02:54, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

@BilledMammal: The final one was a self-revert of the third one and first two were separate de-inclusions of different photos that could well have been done in a single edit (but weren't to avoid an edit-conflict on a highly edited article). -- Veggies (talk) 02:58, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Sorry, you're right; I misread what 23:35 was (it wasn't a revert, AFAIK), and 02:44 was a self revert of your own edit. Technically, 13:08 and 13:31 were separate reverts, but only technically. BilledMammal (talk) 03:05, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Comment removal

Hi, apologies for removing your comment. Unfortunately, it answered a rather clear violation of NOTAFORUM. Obviously your intentions were the best, but could I suggest removing rather than answering comments that are in clear breach of policy. Keep up the good work, much appreciated! Jeppiz (talk) 22:15, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

Thank you!

Wanted to thank you for catching my error on Talk:Al-Ahli Arab Hospital explosion. I didn't realize that was Jimbo Wales. Facepalm... Was just doing my job of WP:NOTAFORUM clearing and didn't realize it was him. Thanks for reverting! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 22:33, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

October 2023

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Super Ninja2 and WP:NOTGETTINGIT. Thank you. The Kip 22:55, 17 October 2023 (UTC)

palestine populations

Hi, and thank you for going through all these, but having seen these in my watchlist and having previously admired how the Israeli localities have their populations updated yearly, I thought it would be a better idea to start a template that has the latest Palestinian census figures so they can be centrally updated as needed. If you want to do that instead of going through each article, I started the template at User:Nableezy/sandbox. Just need each line to have locality name = population. nableezy - 03:48, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

@Nableezy: Yeah, it'd be cool if there was an auto-script to update this (with references) from a CSV or something. The list is the Palestinian census for 2017. I don't know how to push a script through, though. -- Veggies (talk) 04:01, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

I extracted the 2017 census, but need to go through to make sure the names match up with how we have them. You can see an example of how it would work in an article at User:Nableezy/Sandbox. nableezy - 04:05, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

@Nableezy: Cool. I finished at page 76 in the report with the Jerusalem Governate and stopped at the Bethlehem Governate. That governate through the end is all that's left to complete. Let me know if you figure it out. Thanks. -- Veggies (talk) 04:09, 27 October 2023 (UTC)

Discussion notification

Hello. This is to notify you that one of your edits is under discussion at Talk:2023 Israel–Hamas war#Gaza Strip (under Israeli Control) for being original research. You were pinged in the discussion, but this is a talk page notification, as pings may not work. Cheers! The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 20:35, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

Israeli Settlements in West Bank

Hello, I noticed you started adding in cities under control of the Ramallah administration in the West Bank at Template:Israeli-Palestinian conflict detailed map and this is highly appreciated; I assume you're going to finish it off by adding in Palestinian settlements in the Hebron and Jericho areas as well.

My question is, are you going to add in Israeli settlements for the full picture? Thanks in advance. TheMapLurker (talk) 21:39, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

@TheMapLurker:Yes, definitely. It's a work in progress. Also (eventually) the towns and villages within Israel. I've just been going down the latest Palestinian census, village by village. Next will be the Israeli settlements. -- Veggies (talk) 05:16, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

Hi, Where are you getting your coordinates from? Zero^talk 03:34, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

@Zero0000:The coordinates for villages and points of interest, etc? If something looks off-center on OpenStreetMap, I try to get the most centralized coordinate from Google Maps. -- Veggies (talk) 03:43, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
