Sorry . I must have been fast asleep. I have just done what I intended to --- that is add a comment of disagreement. Spinney Hill (talk) 14:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

No worries 10mmsocket (talk) 16:41, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

Hi. what rule has been broken? May I ask? Raficool9940 (talk) 17:09, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Spinney Hill disagreed with my reply on a talk page, but mistakenly reverted it thinking I had made the change to the article itself. Easy mistake to make, we're all human. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:17, 15 December 2024 (UTC)

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

You have been trouted for: Reverting https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hinkley_Point_C_nuclear_power_station&oldid=1261106314 . Thank you for reverting my subsequent (copyright violation) change, but I don't think the timeline updates violate policy!

Psion Organiser

I've recently built some datapacks and found from the circuitry that the maximum size is limited by the number of segments that can be set up. Each segment is 16K and you can have up to 256 of the, This is actually 4M bytes, not 2 as I said. I'm not aware of a reference that states this, but the technical manual has the details of segmented packs here:

https://www.jaapsch.net/psion/tech09.htm#p9.2.2.3

To get the maximum size you'd have to work the value out. i'm not sure that this is really a reference.

I think the largest available datapack was 1Mbyte, 512K flash datapaks are available today.

Amenjet (talk) 12:03, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

Interesting info, but you need a verifiable reference. 10mmsocket (talk) 12:05, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

TPE timetables

I'm currently trying to find a more reliable way to get the TPE timetables… they seem to have programmed their website in a very non-archivable way Danners430 (talk) 12:52, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Look at the top right of each dynamically-generated and thus hard-to-archive timetable page, e.g. Anglo Scottish route and in the top right corner is a PDF link. I assume that's a static document and hopefully might even persist over time. Now's a good time to check that because they're still showing the up-to-December 2024 timetable. Here's the PDF link. Let's see if in a few days the same link shows the old or new timetable. 10mmsocket (talk) 13:19, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I've tried that one too - but it appears to be a generative link rather than a link to a PDF stored on their server... I have attempted to archive it, but it only archives the first page...! Danners430 (talk) 13:20, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

In fact, had to raise a query at Help Talk:Using the Wayback Machine... their website isn't archiving at all accurately. You don't have any ideas, do you? Danners430 (talk) 13:19, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Anything relevant on here? List of Web archiving initiatives, e.g. UK Web Archive. One other thought is whether any foreign rail travel websites have copies of UK timetables, e.g. Rail Europe or Interrail? 10mmsocket (talk) 13:31, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Might have to look at that... but probably won't have time to investigate until the new year (thanks Christmas!)

In the meantime, is there a template etc. we can use to prevent IA Bot from adding an archive to that specific source? Danners430 (talk) 13:32, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

I think it's this - {{cbignore}} - I'll give it a try 10mmsocket (talk) 13:45, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Woot! User:10mmsocket/sandbox - it worked. IA Bot ignored the tagged ref but archived the non-tagged ref. 10mmsocket (talk) 13:53, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

Today everyone was a winner :D

Once the ho-ho-humbugs are done for the year, I'll take a look at other options Danners430 (talk) 14:31, 19 December 2024 (UTC)

English Cathedral musicians page query.

What sort of sources are you looking for with edits to the English Cathedral organists page? I provided a link to the relevant page of each Cathedral's official website in the description of every edit that I made earlier, but you've still removed them. What am I doing wrong please? 148.252.144.134 (talk) 01:11, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

The cathedral's website along with any external announcements of an appointment should go onto the page itself as a reference, not into the edit summary. 10mmsocket (talk) 06:50, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I just followed the format that everyone else seemed to have used because I didn't realise it wasn't right and don't really have the technical know how to do anything other than copy what's gone before. If you can point me towards a better example to copy I can certainly have a go, otherwise the page will just have to stay out of date until someone more tech savvy spots that it needs updating. 149.50.165.206 (talk) 13:11, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

December 2024

If you feel the future TOCs do not belong in the TOC navigation box, you are going to need to convince the community to have the articles moved from mainspace. That will require a WP:AFD. If you are still convinced the articles are not valid, I would suggest going down that path rather than us getting into edit warring territory. Naleork (talk) 05:27, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

WaveTonic speedy tag

You mistagged the speedy. U5 is for articles created by socks not for articles created by editors who are later blocked. Lavalizard101 (talk) 19:34, 13 June 2025 (UTC)

Thanks. I think I may have made that mistake before, but I'll be sure to remember it in the future. 10mmsocket (talk) 00:01, 14 June 2025 (UTC)

A revert to the wrong version

In this edit you reverted an article to a version in which the section you edited was a completely garbled mess. It's best to always look at what you are reverting to, and making sure that it's what you intend. JBW (talk) 18:49, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Noted. Thank you. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:44, 21 June 2025 (UTC)

Museum of West African Art page edits

Hello, I am the Communications Associate at the Museum of West African Art, and all the edits I made to the MOWAA Wiki Page are, in fact, correct and verifiable through our own website, wearemowaa.org . Could you please restore the version I edited yesterday? The page you currently have up is not only outdated but also misleading. Thank you for your attention to this matter. KathleenFowlds (talk) 09:06, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

See the messages on your talk page about conflict of interest and paid editing. My suggestion is you make a series of suggestions on the article's talk page about specific changes to make. Be sure to back them up with sources, ideally/preferably not from the museum's own website but from reliable secondary sources (see WP:PRIMARY, WP:RS and WP:V). 10mmsocket (talk) 11:35, 23 June 2025 (UTC)

Frustrated that it’s come to this, but since you were tangentially involved… There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is User:Pmbma - complete refusal to use anything other than bare URL references. Danners430 (talk) 19:39, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Hello 10mmsocket, concerning Preston's notable people

We have reverted each other, but I think, as things now stand, we should both be happy. Your reversion deleted much more than "post nominal letters" but also six/seven new entries with wikilink refs. I've now deleted the post nominal letters and kept the six or seven new entries with wikilink refs. I hope we are, now, both happy. ArbieP

Shere SMART PROD

Hi – I'm not opposed to deletion of the article in its present form, as it was written a very long time ago and would need significant rewriting/updating, but could I ask that it is moved into my userspace rather than deleted entirely, so I can work on it when I get more time. I have access to plenty of independent specialist offline sources. I would like also to put on record that I have never worked for this or any other company in any area of the rail industry; I am a rail enthusiast. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 09:44, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

I wouldn't know how to go about that, but someone "taking over" an article to improve it is a great outcome. Why don't I at least remove the PROD until you can do more work on it? 10mmsocket (talk) 09:59, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks; this won't be immediate because I am very busy at the moment with on- and (especially) off-wiki commitments, but I will put it towards the top of my "to-do" list. Cheers, Hassocks5489 (Floreat Hova!) 12:08, 7 July 2025 (UTC)

Citing

Hi, Does the cited source have to contain the full context-free information such that the wikipedia reader need do no further research to 'connect the dots' ? TristanDC (talk) 15:15, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

That would be ideal yes. Essentially what you put into the article is your re-wording/summary of what the source(s) says. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:37, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Jubilee line

Hi, I noticed you deleted my edit on the article about Jubilee line. First, I don't understand why you deleted the part where I said the 2020 4G rollout from Westminster to Canning Town was a pilot scheme, as TfL has recently once again recalled it. It did make sense to me leave to part where it says that TfL intends to deploy the technology across the entire Tube network by the mid-2020, since that pilot scheme was the first time in the London Underground's history that below ground areas of the network were no more blackspots. However, I deleted facts about the first sections covered as part of the full-scale rollout, as I did not see a direct link with the Jubilee line. While it's absolutely true that the "non-trial" rollout indeed started in December 2022, the sections were Holland Park to Queensway on the Central line, and Kentish Town to Archway on the Northern line, not up to Mornington Crescent as erroneously mentioned. And the link provided did not match that information, since it's constantly updated to talk about the current coverage. Nevertheless, those facts are still important in my opnion, which is why I would suggest we move that to a more general article like London Underground infrastructure, where we could create a dedicated section. 2A02:1210:5408:A000:F0A2:8060:1562:8823 (talk) 13:58, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for getting in touch. TBH I reverted your contribution because you deleted sourced content with no edit summary to explain why. Your explanation here makes much more sense. Creating a dedicated section as you say is a really good idea. Do it and I'll lend a hand if I can. 10mmsocket (talk) 14:17, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply, that sounds good. 2A02:1210:5408:A000:F0A2:8060:1562:8823 (talk) 16:39, 18 July 2025 (UTC)

Does...

...this mean that all those sad-looking convenience store hot dogs might not be all that fresh? :P

Thanks for that, though; I was going through a bunch of subtle vandalism edits made by that particular underlying range, and that one might not have been vandalism now that I think about it. 😅

International Federation for Information Processing

Please can you add the citations using the external links removed? The editor who added them did not follow the MoS but they may not come back again to add references properly. Otherwise, removing the inappropriate use of external links without adding citations leaves the section unreferenced. Editors in future might drop the sections because they don't know that references exist. Whizz40 (talk) 09:47, 24 July 2025 (UTC) Whizz40 (talk) 09:47, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

The onus is on the editors who put them there in the first place. 10mmsocket (talk) 09:49, 24 July 2025 (UTC)

Gordon's School

Hi @10mmsocket Gordon's School wishes to improve the Wikipedia page in line with the regulations and have employed a consultant to look at our page and rewrite it to improve neutrality and remove promotional language. Unreliable sources have been replaced or updated and references added. Please could I ask you to have a look at the changes here User:Silver8irch/sandbox

Thank you! Lottiegordons (talk) 14:22, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

That's a lot to go through without actually seeing the differences between the original and your version. Given your obvious conflict of interest, any mass changes would be immediately reverted, so it would be better to propose specific changes on the article's talk page. You should also immediately stop editing until you have made a paid-editing disclosure - I'll leave instruction on your talk page. 10mmsocket (talk) 14:25, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Restoring unsourced

Unfortunately, when unsourced content is removed we can’t really restore it that easily, as we fall foul of WP:BURDEN. It also has the handy side-effect of gradually purging unsourced content out of the article! Danners430 _{tweaks made} 07:03, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

But mass unexplained deletion is vandalism isn't it? 10mmsocket (talk) 07:06, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

It’s a weird one… yes it is… but we also can’t restore it… perhaps one for the tea house? Danners430 _{tweaks made} 10:55, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Good point. Thanks. Let me know if you need me to get involved in anything 10mmsocket (talk) 11:52, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

AIV

Thank you for making a report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Reporting and removing vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, it appears that the editor you reported may not have engaged in vandalism, or the user was not sufficiently or appropriately warned. Please note there is a difference between vandalism and unhelpful or misguided edits made in good faith. If the user continues to vandalise after a recent final warning, please re-report them. Thank you. CoconutOctopus talk 16:39, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Noted, thanks. Do you happen to remember which user? I reported more than one. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:53, 1 August 2025 (UTC)

Channel Tunnel

I wanted to talk about the revert you did of me changing the references on the Channel Tunnel page. In most instances the style of sources/references is fine, but there are two books listed as references/sources which have an author of 'Wilson'. I would appreciate understanding from you how a reader is supposed to know which book authored by Wilson is referred to when the reference states Wilson pp. 44, as an example? Where other books are referred to, this is not a problem, but in this instance I know I struggled to understand which author Wilson was referred to. If there is a way of the reader knowing then great, but if not I think what I did to clarify this helps. I had to search edits to establish which book this referred to and as a new Wikipedia contributor this took quite a bit of effort. LateFatherKarma (talk) 07:14, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

I'm puzzled - what did I revert? All I did was change the generic reference names. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:15, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Feel free to set your references back to what you think they should be. It could be that the reference renaming script made a mistake. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:16, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Unfortunately on the device I have I cannot seem able to revert. Can you do this please as it took me a long time to do. LateFatherKarma (talk) 07:28, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

I have left a message for the person who did this. Apologies for any confusion. LateFatherKarma (talk) 07:37, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Allotia

Hello 10mmsocket, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Allotia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not blatantly vandalism or a hoax. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. CoconutOctopus talk 10:56, 2 August 2025 (UTC)

Incident at BHX

Hello and thank you for considering my edit. On the face of it, a small aircraft belly landing might not seem worthy of note - however, I would argue that with a major international airport still close 4 hours after the incident it should be recognised that this is a significant day in the operation of BHX. Moreover, it would appear that the Air Accident Investigations Branch consider the incident to be worth investigating. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/the-aaib-has-sent-a-team-of-inspectors-to-birmingham-airport Bstanden (talk) 16:04, 6 August 2025 (UTC)

Museum of West African Art Edits

About MOWAA

The Museum of West African Art (MOWAA) is an independent non-profit institution dedicated to the preservation of heritage, expansion of knowledge and celebration of West African arts and culture. MOWAA was founded in 2020 as a catalyst for deepening connections between contemporary arts and the rich cultural heritage of West Africa, creating opportunities for African and Diaspora artists and scholars.

Located in the heart of Benin City, Nigeria, the MOWAA Campus comprises of multiple buildings and public spaces for research, art practice, education, display and performance. Designed as an ecosystem to nurture, inspire and showcase creatives, scholars, and cultural practitioners, the MOWAA Campus serves to build connections between tradition and contemporary practices. The first building, the MOWAA Institute, is open to the public in November 2025. (https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2024/nov/18/cutting-edge-labs-a-rainforest-gallery-and-guesthouse-nigeria-to-open-art-museum-for-21st-century)

The Museum of West African Art (MOWAA) in Benin City, Nigeria, has announced that it will officially open to the public on the 11th of November 2025.

Initially announced in 2020, the MOWAA campus is designed as a 15-acre complex that will feature the MOWAA Institute for research and education, the Rainforest Gallery for contemporary art exhibitions, the Art Guesthouse boutique hotel, the Artisans’ Hall performance venue, among other facilities. MOWAA is an independent, non-profit institution dedicated to the preservation of heritage, the expansion of knowledge and the celebration of West African arts and culture.

Institute director Ore Disu had this to say, “Globally, museums are increasingly being asked to justify their existence, whether it’s by way of funding cuts, restitution or falling visitor numbers. What’s important for us at MOWAA is to be truly embedded in building contextually relevant practices, regenerating African cites and scholarship, and using art as a catalyst for real impact.”

Hi, regarding revert of the change: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Aces_Up&oldid=1306008904

The website solitairewinrates is not mine, the only thing that was mine was the solver on github, which I thought was okay to add since the only previous link was to a gitlab simulation which was also added by the authors of the program - and runs a different test, so they are complementary.

Matssson (talk) 13:28, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Perhaps you could add back in the other stuff minus your own link? 10mmsocket (talk) 14:10, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

Sure thing, I haven't found any sources for the solvability of any given shuffle however - the numbers are all over the place. I get that it's a COI, but I don't know wikipedia's policy on how to handle cases like this Matssson (talk) 14:16, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

And the trout was deserved - I should have just removed the one link and notified you rather than revert the full edit. 10mmsocket (talk) 14:18, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

I updated the page now without the github link, but since my original change was reverted a bot flagged it - if you like you could go in and revert the bot's change. I already reported it as a false positive. Matssson (talk) 14:29, 15 August 2025 (UTC)

User:Aliceemilynorman's edits

Hi, Aliceemilynorman's edits are actually correct. You're right that the sourcing could be better, but instead of reverting all edits this newbie made and templating their talk page, perhaps you can help them? Some suggestions for sourcing academic journal articles can be found on my user page. For example, this link for Tobacco Control (journal) will bring you directly to the journal's entry in the JCR, the origin of these impact factors (and basically the only independent reliable source for this info). You then have to go to the profile page, which needs logging in with a (free) account and there's the current (2024) IF. All that is needed for a correct update is changing the figures in the infobox and updating the text and source in the "abstracting and indexing" section.

Rental websites

Hi, understand the concern, but am struggling to see an alternative. Many medium/large country houses are now rented out. That’s just a fact. How do I reference that without including a rental site as the cite? I could perhaps find a newspaper review for some of them, but in the end that’s still an advert. KJP1 (talk) 21:20, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Which article? 10mmsocket (talk) 21:21, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

Upper Red House, Llanvihangel-Ystern-Llewern / Treverbyn Vean. KJP1 (talk) 21:26, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

With the Red House, you put a tag on, having removed the cite that supported the text. That leaves me struggling. KJP1 (talk) 21:37, 25 August 2025 (UTC)

For Upper Red House, there don't seem to be any reliable sources relating to it being a bed & breakfast and I'd say that's fine because I don't think it's at all relevant to the article. I would just remove the whole sentence.

And looking at Treverbyn Vean I'd say the same is true. The fact that various outbuildings can be rented is not relevant. It doesn't add any extra knowledge to the article. 10mmsocket (talk) 06:35, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

For me, it’s a bit of a purist argument. As four examples, our articles on The Ritz, The Savoy, Claridge's and The Connaught all include their websites and I don’t think those would either be considered spam or an infringement of WP:NOTTRAVEL. But not an issue I’m inclined to fall out over, so I’ll amend as you suggest. Regards. KJP1 (talk) 10:54, 26 August 2025 (UTC)

York isn't in North Yorkshire presently, as made explicitly clear in The York And North Yorkshire Combined Authority Order 2023 https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2023/1432/contents

York historically wasn't in North Yorkshire either. It was outside of the three ridings from its inception to 1974, and was reestablished as separate in 1996. The ceremonial counties were based on lieutenancies, in which there were three for the ridings of Yorkshire and York sat outside until 1888. The RH Lord Mayor title held only by York and London is unique in its relationship to the areas and they were exempt from county status in that aspect. This is why York or City of York sits as a separate option entirely on many royal mail or webform lists.

There is a ceremonial county link, but it is less consistent historically than, say, Middlesbrough, which is also not within North Yorkshire today from an administrative perspective but is from a county perspective. However historically York sat outside ceremonially longer than it sat within, and in many contexts the combination of historical and legislative clarifications make it inappropriate to identify York as being within North Yorkshire, while in other contexts it is appropriate.

As such, I went through the articles methodically to ensure they were correct, one-by-one, only editing those that should be edited. However, to list York within North Yorkshire in many of those pages is categorically factually incorrect, a hangover of a convention for places like Middlesbrough that are in the ceremonial NY county but are outside at a local authority level, whereas saying 'London, Middlesex' would obviously be wrong because the convention for London is better known than York despite York and Yorkshire being a famous historical context and circumstance for those who know Yorkshire's history.

Multi-airport cities

According to IATA, Abu Dhabi, Cairo and Mumbai are multi-airport cities. Abu Dhabi has four airports: Al Bateen Executive Airport, Al Dhafra Air Base, Yas Island Seaplane Base, and Zayed International Airport. It is true that Zayed is the largest and most popular, but Kuwait International Airport receives flights from the other airports too, especially the first two. Cairo is also listed by IATA as having two airports: Cairo International Airport, and Capital International Airport. Most of traffic is at the earlier one, but the other one receives traffic occasionally. Mumbai has also two airports: the old Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, and the new Navi Mumbai International Airport. The latter is due to receive traffic any time this year. Therefore, airport names should be added to city names in these cases. Imdashti (talk) 11:19, 31 August 2025 (UTC)

Independent lifeboats in Britain and Ireland

@10mmsocket

Further to the discussions on Independent lifeboats in Britain and Ireland, it has not been helped that my (temporary) autopatrolled rights expired a couple of weeks ago. If there's anything you can add to the thread there, would be much appreciated.

Also, unlike RNLI stations, where there is a wealth of material to find, a very good online archive dating back to 1852, and lots of books, there is precious little for Independents, and they're not good at maintaining their own websites either. But we'll get there!

Martin Ojsyork (talk) 06:35, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

Noted and thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 06:50, 12 September 2025 (UTC)

@10mmsocket

What the heck are you doing?

It was perfectly fine and presentable before? Ojsyork (talk) 11:45, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Adding common elements as separate columns is usual practice, as it making them sortable. It makes it much easier to see at a glance the contents of the table and according to user preference present them in different ways be sorting.

What isn't perfectly fine is the use of <br />, which makes the use of screen readers difficult for visually impaired people using assistive technology. See MOS:NOBR. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:51, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

@10mmsocket

Never quite understand the desperation to make tables sortable.

Unless you split off all the counties, its all in alphabetical order. All there is to sort is Established dates, and what does that achieve?

Martin Ojsyork (talk) 12:26, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

It achieves quite a lot actually - it allows you to see the information in the table in a much clearer manner. Plus sorting by date of establishment or membership is useful. My opposing view would be I've never understood why more tables aren't sortable - it fits my need to better use tabulated information and a past working life dominated by complex spreadsheets. 10mmsocket (talk) 12:35, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm pleased to see you sorted out some of the formatting errors which first popped up, prompting my initial response.

I'm glad it now fits your needs. Does make me wonder whether there was any consideration towards my needs, as someone who has been putting a fair amount of hours in creating content.

Ojsyork (talk) 13:16, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia is all about collectively improving articles. It's the community's article, not yours, not mine. If you don't like the changes to the tables, then why not start a discussion the article talk pages to see what other people think? 10mmsocket (talk) 15:11, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

We all have our different opinions.

Yes, it is about a collective improvement. But that doesn't mean you need to be changing stuff, just because it doesn't suit You.

I don't see any improvement, no added content. No long hours writing articles. Just rearranging the deck chairs, with no consideration for the person who was clearly still working on the whole thing. Its not 6 months that anything was updated. It was less than 3 hours. No message, no communication, nothing on the talk.

All very well you shuffling it all around, but it wouldn't even be there was it not for the effort of someone else.

Doesn't seem to be right somehow?

Ojsyork (talk) 15:45, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

@10mmsocket notified me of this, honestly somewhat odd, dispute. From the perspective of an uninvolved party (other than having been notified), might I suggest that if we feel strongly about table formats we discuss it at the article talk page? That way other interested editors can weigh in.

My opinion however would be that I support splitting out parameters into their own columns - it avoids the use of <br/> tags, which as 10mmS correctly says are an accessibility problem for people that use screen readers, and it makes the table clearer and easier to read. As for sortable vs non-sortable… that’s nothing more than a single word in the class declaration, so that’s a separate discussion really. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 19:33, 20 September 2025 (UTC)

@10mmsocket@Danners430

Chaps

I see you think I'm royally pissed off. Not entirely.

Let me first of all say that I don't object to constructive updates. And not all the updates done are objectionable. I'm still learning new ways, and I approve of some of the things you have done. If < br / > isn't correct use, I can go with that. I like {{ ubl, etc.

You may think I'm being odd and objectionable, and bizarre! I'm not here for an argument, so don't fire anything back, we are where we are. But to be clear on what I find wrong:

1: Is that you think it is acceptable to jump in and make whole-scale changes, without discussion, whilst you were fully aware (as we discussed only days earlier) that there was work in progress from another editor. It wasn't sitting there idle for 6 months, or even 6 weeks, it was less than three hours!

2: On protesting the action, I was told that if I had issues with the table construction, I should raise it on the talk page. Well I'm sorry, but that should have been your first move. Or why not just message me and say that I was doing things wrong?

3: The layout of the page didn't happen by accident. A lot of work was done to make the page presentable, so that there weren't wrap rounds, with citations all put in the same place, etc. It is now all over the place, and with some sections changed, and some ignored.

4: We now have a sortable column of YES's ???. Really?? But then why not a column for HM Coastguard, or for Registered Charity? I had planned to amend and revise all three entries as the thing evolved. I still don't believe there is any need for the page to be sortable, what does it achieve?

So being irritated, I accept that's my bad.

Just because anyone can update Wiki, doesn't mean they shouldn't show a level of respect for what went before, and who created before. I don't think its right that someone jumps in on a page and rearranges it, because THEY don't like it - when they have made NO CONTRIBUTION to the content.

I don't think I'm being unreasonable saying this. Just a matter of principle and manners.

Martin Ojsyork (talk) 07:51, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

I'm sorry but I think you are being a little bit unreasonable. ANYONE can make ANY edit to Wikipedia, provided they follow policy. If you disagree, then you are welcome to discuss it at the talk page and seek consensus. You do not have to meet some arbitrary "acceptance clause" to be allowed to edit an article - and by suggesting such things you're flying close to WP:OWN. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 07:58, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Just for the sake of clarifying - per WP:BOLD anyone is allowed to make a change, however substantial. Users are encouraged to discuss potentially controversial changes, but I don't see how 10mmS could have foreseen such a change to be controversial. Now per WP:BRD you are within your rights to revert his changes if you see fit - but at this stage in the game, I'd suggest instead moving this whole discussion to the article talk page to allow other editors to chime in - after all, Wikipedia is built on community consensus. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 08:11, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

Where does it say I have to contribute content to earn the right to improve the look and feel of an article? As for HMCG and Charity columns, that's a great idea. I'll get that done at some point. 10mmsocket (talk) 07:58, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

@10mmsocket@Danners430

I haven't said anyone is wrong for making changes.

Indeed, I think some of it is great.

I just think its poor form to go jumping in, when its clear there is work in progress by someone else, and if you think what they're doing is wrong, there are better ways to go about it. Your actions, valid as they may be, risk losing the guy who is making significant contributions, making all your efforts pointless.

Well there you go guys, my past record and dealings with one particular editor, who made my life a complete misery for 18 months. No matter what I did, he amended it. All deliberately targeted. Add a section, it got re-written. Create an article, it was re-constructed within 24 hours.

It's probably why I'm too sensitive to folks jumping in.

I'm really one of the good guys, and would prefer to be judged on my creative work than one person.

Time to draw a line on this.

Martin Ojsyork (talk) 11:21, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

I will say - I'm afraid you will have to get used to other editors… erm… editing your work. That is what Wikipedia is about. Unless you gain community consensus for an article to be written a specific way, anyone is welcome to make the adjustments they feel like. You do not own the articles you create, I'm sorry.

A genuine suggestion - have a read of WP:BRD, which is what I feel most applies to the issues you're having, and would provide a framework for you going forward. I say this in the spirit of working together and helping you in the best way we can to stay as a constructive editor on Wikipedia. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 11:36, 21 September 2025 (UTC)

After creating 260 odd articles, I have no problem with folks making constructive amendments. God knows, there's been plenty of that. I'm not perfect, I still get stuff wrong, and I accept we all have a different point of view. Accommodating other folks views is absolutely necessary.

However, to be deliberately targeted is not a pleasant experience. I'm sure you would start to find it objectionable if after 1 month, I deliberately started to re-edit everything you had amended, without adding any value, just because its allowed.

Enough - its time to move on. Thanks for the suggestions.

Every change I've done, I've provided an article or shown on timetable. It is clear you do not understand that the aviation industry is not going to celebrate cutting routes or post new articles every time a start date changes, but I reliably post the information showing this. By keep editing and removing, and not wanting to even consider the change is indeed correct you are indeed vandalising — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.199.232.66 (talk) 11:06, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

See WP:AIRPORTCONTENT. Sources must be independent so Rynair or Bournemouth airport websites simply don't count. As for the Times articles, they do not say when or whether the route will be cut, only that capacity is being reduced. That's not the same thing at all. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:09, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

So you'd rather the pages be incorrect when both airline and airport confirm routes are gone? Airlines don't advertise cuts. How else are Wikipedia meant to stay factual if you don't want to understand that airline's don't advertise cuts. Many routes remain off sale but if deleted from both airport and airline, surely you can see the accuracy in that?

And you reverted edits which come from other sources too. I elaborate reasons but you don't want to understand the rationale. 85.199.232.66 (talk) 10:26, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

WP:NOTTRUTH - we don't care about the truth only about what can be referenced with independent reliable sources. Again the airport project guidelines are clear about the need for *independent* sources. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:32, 7 October 2025 (UTC)

That is not the point of Wikipedia at all. You just have a vendetta and wish to edit to suit your interest as don't want to admit you're wrong.

Pcpmalta

I saw your exchange on User talk:Pcpmalta, and to be honest I don't think it was very helpful. The scenario reminded me a bit of User talk:Docrobbie, the subtle but incredibly important difference is that the latter user's book was independently published and had a rave review in a reliable source, whereas in this case it was a self-published book. I think a better course of action would have been to politely explain how self-published books can't be used in places like Wikipedia, until they are independently recognised by others and change from emerging research into well-established views. Templating them and hauling them off to AIV is kind of counter-productive, there's no need to beat somebody up just because their edits don't fit the ethos of this place.

Why have you undone the flags?

Why have you undone the flags on List of Ilyushin Il-76 operators?

It appears to be standard practice to use the flags in the way I did.

Look at Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II operators for example. NeboRadar (talk) 10:38, 9 November 2025 (UTC)

Reverted Reversions

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

I'm not sure about any trouts! But I have reverted your reversions to the minor edits I made to the Tynemouth Priory and Castle page (I was not logged in at the time, oops!) because use of the term Tynemouthshire is well attested, more specific, and allows for a much neater hyperlink to the page from the list of liberties on the page Liberty (division). I was quite surprised to find that I had failed to include the term when I first rewrote this page last year!

Before you go on a lazy blanket revert spree. Read the edit summaries as they answered the lazy question you posed in your very poor edit summary of a very unhelpful blanket revert.

Yes I did. You haven't added anything new. The AfD was correct and should stand. Per WP:BRD if you believe otherwise then discuss on the article's talk page. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:52, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

No, I did indeed add a lot of new references that should prove its significance, secondary media sources.

On the current Edit that you have reverted.

Hi there. I have seen the edit that you currently reverted due to that Planespotter is not a reliable source. I am aware of that. However, it is possible to see on the engines of the Air Japan 787s that there are RR signs, meaning that these planes use Trent engines. Thus, would you mind help me to find another source which is more reliable to support my claim? Thank you. ~2025-36927-43 (talk) 21:30, 27 November 2025 (UTC)

Ahhhhh! Makes sense! It’s just that was there before. I counted each station on the list one by one in the reference would that count? Busandtrainfannorthwestgeography (talk) 14:57, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

That's pretty much WP:SYNTH. See also WP:PRIMARY. It would be much better if you could find a source that isn't the company that says how many stations they call at. I did a quick google but couldn't find anything definitive. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:02, 9 April 2026 (UTC)

Baldock Services AfD Question

Is it acceptable to withdraw the AfD nomination and boldly redirect, or is it best to let the AfD finish? GeekBurst (talk) 20:20, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

Good question, thanks for asking me. To quote Mastermind "I"ve started so I'll finish". There's no crashing hurry on Wikipedia so as you've initiated it just let it run its course. In future I'd suggest a bold redirect, if that gets reverted then a PROD, and finally an AfD - or of course improve the article, but personally I'm a deletionist I like to get rid of crap. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:57, 24 April 2026 (UTC)

Yes! Although blow it up and bugger off, is a bit different to blow it up and start again. The latter has an element of constructive behaviour so at least you leave something positive behind.

AA & DL

Hey, the former destination tables in the articles of AA and DL included original research: The tables showed only mainline destinations. The tables did not show the destinations of the regional airlines which operate under the same IATA code as the mainline. There was no reference given that differentiates between the mainline and regional destinations. And I am not aware that such an reference exists. So in case somebody brings back the same destination tables, you have one more reason to let them deleted, additionally to the many individual reasons I already made in the edit summary.

Changing citation date formats in British Rail Class 555

I'm a bit puzzled by your changes to the the citation date formats in the article on British Rail Class 555. I was tidying up/expanding the references in this article and saw that the date formats in the citations were a mix of yyyy-mm-dd and dd MMM yyyy. I understood that a mix of date formats is not to be used, so I standardised on the first format that I saw  – yyyy-mm-dd. Whilst I was editing you seem to have changed all the dates from yyyy-mm-dd to dd MMM yyyy citing MOS:NUM. I'm am somewhat befuddled as to why. Have I misunderstood the guidance in MOS:NUM (specifically MOS:DATEUNIFY)? DrFrench (talk) 21:12, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

It's good to have consistent date formats across the entirety of an article, but regardless of what format is used in citations they are presented according to the template used at the top, e.g. {{use dmy dates}}. So it doesn't really matter, but personally I like consistency which is why I change them.

While we're on the topic, you used {{snd}} between two number ranges, which is incorrect. So it should be 2021{{ndash}}2025 and 55500{{ndash}}555046. Your other use of {{snd}} was correct though. 10mmsocket (talk) 21:16, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy reply. I like consistency too, which is why I was changing them to a consistent yyyy-mm-dd format, as I worked through the references section by section. (I had noted the page already had the {{Use dmy dates}} tag.)

Thanks for the heads-up about the difference between {{snd}} and {{ndash}}. Using {{snd}} is new to me, so perhaps I tend to over-use it! DrFrench (talk) 21:27, 4 May 2026 (UTC)

New Page Patrol Newsletter - May 2026

Hello 10mmsocket,

New Page Review queue November 2025 - May 2026

Backlog update

At the time of this message, there are 15,282 articles and 32,951 redirects awaiting review.

After the January–February drive the article backlog was reduced to 15,179 articles and the redirect backlog to 19,053 respectively. Great job! However, both queues are growing rapidly and any additional reviews are highly appreciated.

2024 and 2025 NPP Awards

JTtheOG was selected as the NPP reviewer of the year for both 2024 and 2025, for reviewing the most articles amongst all reviewers.

Hey man im josh and MPGuy2824 won the Redirect Ninja Master Award for 2024 and 2025 respectively, for reviewing the most redirects.

Overall in 2024, one Platinum, two Gold, eight Silver, 12 Bronze and 45 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 66 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year. In 2025, one Platinum, ten Silver, 13 Bronze and 38 Iron Barnstars were awarded. Additionally, 38 reviewers got the NPP barnstar for doing more than 100 reviews through the year.

BoyTheKingCanDance, Rosiestep, SunDawn, and Vanderwaalforces were inducted into the NPP Hall of Fame for having two separate years of 2,000+ article reviews.

January–February backlog drive

The experimental two-month long backlog drive concluded with 183 reviewers patrolling over 27,761 articles and 35,309 redirects, earning over 36,836 points. Congratulations to JTtheOG, who achieved first place with 6,484.6 points in this drive.

May backlog drive

An article-only backlog drive is currently underway. We are hoping to make a big dent in the backlog. You can read more about it or join at Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/May 2026.

PageTriage

An attempt was made to get the New Pages Feed to sort by date marked as reviewed instead of date created. However we had to revert it due to bugs. We may try again in the future. You can subscribe to the Phabricator ticket if you're interested in following along.

Reminders:

• You can access live chat with patrollers on the New Page Patrol Discord.
• Consider adding the project discussion page to your watchlist.

Wikidata usage

Please note that there was an RFC on using Wikidata that came to the conclusion that it is not appropriate to change Wikipedia data to Wikidata, only to use Wikidata is its not already existing in the English Wikipedia. Granted it was some time ago, and maybe there is room for a new consensus, but the Wikidata documentation says we shouldn't be changing it as you are doing with Official URLs.

As for deleting your images, go to the image page on wikimedia commons, then click "Tools" and "Nominate for deletion". You'll need to give a reason - just be honest in explaining why you don't think they're needed any more. 10mmsocket (talk) 20:34, 20 May 2026 (UTC)

Why should I care? You were correctly reverted. All you have done is copied the Italian article word-for-word, and given that you were blocked on it.wikipedia for disruptive editing, as were your sockpuppet accounts, I would say you are on very shaky ground with you what you are doing here. You should consider very carefully what you do.

b.t.w.

What's work? I used to do that a couple of years back but my memory of it is fading 10mmsocket (talk) 11:05, 27 May 2026 (UTC)

Trouted

Whack!

You've been whacked with a wet trout.

Don't take this too seriously. Someone just wants to let you know that you did something silly.

No it hasn't it is running test trains prior to starting a full service. 10mmsocket (talk) 15:44, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

See the discussion at Talk:Lumo (train operating company) actually - it would appear that they are running a public service, just not a full service. The issue is sourcing. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 16:24, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Noted thanks. 10mmsocket (talk) 17:17, 28 May 2026 (UTC)

Lumo has began operations.

Add it with the content. See the referencing guide on your talk page. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:33, 29 May 2026 (UTC)

Greater Thameslink Railway

Hi there,

The article Greater Thameslink Railway is missing an image for the infobox (i.e. a train operated by GTR). Would it be OK for me to insert an image of 387172 in GBR | Southern colours (I believe there is one on Wikimedia Commons somewhere...) or wait until a picture is taken of a GTR train under state ownership?

Cheers, ThatTransportEnthusiast (talk) 10:04, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Just do it! 10mmsocket (talk) 11:01, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Alright, just wanted confirmation from an experienced editor as I was sceptical if it would get reverted by someone. Apologies for the rather annoying question beforehand :/

Cheers, ThatTransportEnthusiast (talk) 11:08, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Never annoying. And yes, someone might well revert you but that's part of being a Wikipedia editor. Certainly don't take it personally if they do. Instead, if they do revert you, go to the article talk page and explain why you think it's a good idea. 10mmsocket (talk) 11:10, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Yeah, I was indeed aware that they would eventually.

I anyways do understand how to explain why 'x' picture is a good idea for 'y' article, but I was rather sceptical to put the image there in the first place (facepalm).

Anyways it is now up on the article - thanks for the support! ThatTransportEnthusiast (talk) 11:13, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Random revert

Hi there - you just reverted an edit to Template:Transport in London, where I attempted to put 'Greater' before 'Great', and found out it was incorrect and you rightfully reverted said edit. I attempted to do that exact same thing (after learning the mistake before) to Template:Train operating companies in the United Kingdom by putting 'Great' before 'Greater' and you reverted it.

How does that make any sense? How should it be styled in both templates? I tried to put 'Greater' before 'Great' in Template:Transport in London and you reverted it - I learnt from that mistake and put 'Great' before 'Greater' in Template:Train operating companies in the United Kingdom and you reverted it. I am not trying to cause an argument here, but I question the inconsistency!

Also please don't insult me by saying "someone needs to go back to school" in that revert. I understand where I went wrong, but please just don't. :-) ThatTransportEnthusiast (talk) 16:49, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

ToC template now has great before greater 10mmsocket (talk) 16:51, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for that - also I did not mean to get rather negative there, it just did not make sense to me.

Sometimes I have brain farts, and that is a prime example of what I did there. Again, apologies.

Cheers, ThatTransportEnthusiast (talk) 16:53, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Yup! :) 10mmsocket (talk) 16:57, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

Peterborough - Geography section

Hi There,

Please can you help me , I’ve tried to move the geography section further up the page, as standard for wiki but it won’t let me paste it. An error comes up. Please advise?

thanks MatthewDavid41 (talk) 23:50, 31 May 2026 (UTC)

I see it has now been moved. Did you work out what the issue was? 10mmsocket (talk) 06:08, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

I think it was citation problem, something archived, but not a recognised or approved archive. Thankfully the person who has put it back has put the Geography bit further up the page… Although they were moaning a bit about it. 🤦‍♂️ MatthewDavid41 (talk) 07:58, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

No worries. I've actually gone a bit further and reorganised the sections according to Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements 10mmsocket (talk) 08:00, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

You should join that wikiproject, you'll learn a lot. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:00, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Where do I find that? I will do. Thanks MatthewDavid41 (talk) 08:03, 1 June 2026 (UTC)

Wait for the next rant 🤦‍♂️ I couldn’t find the wiki article which mentions all this. It looks far better. MatthewDavid41 (talk) 08:02, 1 June 2026 (UTC)
