Sorry I'm bad at using wikipedia and messed up adding the cite, I asked Northern the other day about Bolton's Platform 2 and they replied to me https://twitter.com/northernrailorg/status/291975325221535745?uid=17412258&iid=am-34365388813588638626255904&nid=56+427

Hi Redrose64, quick message. On Template talk:WikiProject Biography, I removed the category not because I had been lazy and just not fixed the issue, I just hadn't realised that it might have been there because someone had posted a link to it in the talk. I had assumed it was just a one-time problem with the actual template itself at the top of the talk page, and so I could fix that by removing the category. I used hot cat, so didn't actually see what I had deleted. I should have checked changes before pressing to save my edit. I apologise, I just wanted to clear any misunderstanding. Thanks, SamWilson989 (talk)

WP:Help desk#Sign issue

Could you help me get the auto-archiving going again on mine Red Rose? It broke earlier this year due to a bad edit and I can't work out how to fix it. It's now very long. Thanks! Philafrenzy (talk) 07:49, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Someone else kindly did it. Philafrenzy (talk) 08:03, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Philafrenzy: You took away too much in this edit - everything above the {{archives}} controlled the archiving. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:55, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:21, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's surely not a coincidence that User talk:Mattcymru was blocked for similar unconstructive edits to Wales articles in July 2013, then User talk:Mattcymru2 appeared in January 2014 editing similar articles. I think we're giving him a lot of rope! Sionk (talk) 21:55, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Their edits were clearly disruptive and there was some vandalism but they had a number of none vandalism contributions so I'm not sure why they were blocked as a VOA. Crouch, Swale (talk) 10:53, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Crouch, Swale: You'd need to ask the blocking admin, which was Slon02 (talk · contribs). @Sionk: Somebody may wish to put together a WP:SPI, which if concluded as "confirmed, blocked and tagged", would render these pages liable for speedy deletion under criterion G5. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:25, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Gareth Griffith-Jones: FYI. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suppose if you had blatant evil intent and wanted to avoid a block, you wouldn't simply add a "2" onto your old name :) It's a shame very many of his recent edits are tendentious and I would undo them if I had the time (I don't). A few of them are useful, particularly the earlier community articles. I've tried to explain things rather than just throw warning templates at his Talk page. But continual tantrums on his part don't stand him in great stead. Sionk (talk) 20:12, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am not really questining their block, just the reason for it. I agree with Sionk in this case, and I don't think G5 would be a good idea as many have been around for a while and received improvements from others. Crouch, Swale (talk) 06:33, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for you're efforts with them, hopefully they'll stop changing the names of the communities, Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn should have a separate article anyway. Crouch, Swale (talk) 09:31, 8 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Newtown and Llanuwchaiarn and Newtown are the same thing, what is the purpose of creating two articles for the same thing? ok, maybe the name of the community shouldnt be changed, i didnt even change the name it just linked to Newtown. my knowledge of welsh geography is probably better than anyone else. i am frankly extremely insulted by your totalitarism. same with builth and builth wells, same thing. i imagine you will block me for complaining. such a good resource this site is, but moderated by extremely pedantic people. i will inform you, that the community of builth wells is based on the town of builth wells, they just shortened the communtiy name to builth. and you think two articles need to be made???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mattcymru2 (talk • contribs) 06:59, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mattcymru2: Claiming "my knowledge of welsh geography is probably better than anyone else" will not help your case, it's tantamount to "I'm right and you're all wrong". How do we know that your knowledge is better? How do you know that our knowledge is worse? Wikipedia does not work that way: we have a policy on verifiability which I urge you to read. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 10:00, 21 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Would you be interested in having these rights? Not including you as one of the stopgap users seems like an oversight. — MusikAnimal ^talk 23:05, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@MusikAnimal: Yes, I was going to wait the thirty days for the RfC to conclude - 00:51, 2 October 2018 (UTC). It'll almost certainly be approved, and I shall accept whatever the outcome is. Once we have a formal process, I was going to put together a case as a self-nomination. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 18:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there Redrose64, would you be interested in adopting me? I would like some expert help in editing and policies, and I believe that you are the person I am looking for.

Hello R. I hope you are well. This edit reminds me that Susan mentioned this right at the start in 1963 :-) One of my favorite memories of a mention on the long road to decimalisation is Plantagenet Palliser championing the cause in Can You Forgive Her?. In fact in the TV version there is a wonderful scene where PP (played by future Borusa Philip Latham) seems to be going on at length about his feelings for the woman (whose name escapes me at the moment) he is talking to. It then turns out he discussing the logic of decimalisation. Only a few days left until Jodie takes up the mantle of the Doctor :-) Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 20:49, 3 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First, thanks for fixing my mistake here. Second... Why does that extra space matter? What am I missing? --Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 21:37, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

When a template is transcluded, the whole of the template is copied to the target page. After that is done, the <noinclude>...</noinclude> tags, and everything that they enclose, is removed. This means that any spaces or newlines that precede the <noinclude> remain in the target page, and can cause a visual gap. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 22:55, 4 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello R. When I checked our friend Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates just now I found almost 2500 pages in it. In hunting around I found that Template:Pp-pc (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) was moved today so that may have caused the influx. If it is I can't perform a null edit as the template page is fully protected. It could be something else but at least this will give you a starting point. Best regards. MarnetteD|Talk 21:43, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It was connected with the page move; the padlock template hadn't been configured to recognise itself as a valid prot icon template (say whaaa...?). Anyway, this edit should fix it. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:59, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. MarnetteD|Talk 22:47, 13 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Just a virtual handshake hello to introduce myself. I'm simply a frequent visitor to WP who finds the content quite useful. Last Spring I choose to give back to WP as well. The few things I have done thus far will improve in form and grow in diversity as time becomes more readily available (a long term project ends next year... after a decade of distraction).

I had occasion to interact with a former user I believe you might remember. QuackGuru. I trust they are well and that the end of their account was just a simple choice. If I knew how to use templates more easily I would place this here.

As time allows ask whatever question you may have. I use but a single MacBook Pro with Safari and Chrome as well as my Samsung Note5 with Edge, Bing, and Chrome as my access points. I do have an android television as well but have yet to edit with it. I live about 48 kilometers from where I was born, have traveled some but doubt I shall ever leave Manhattan permanently. It could happen, I just have to be given reason.

Your user page is inspiring and sets a new level for me as benchmark of what a person might achieve if they took the time to apply their talents.

My deletion of the later opening and 1964 closing dates apply to merely two platforms of a 5 platform station. The upper and lower platforms were adjacent and treated as one station served by the same entrance and facilities. Accordingly the station was opened on the first date and is still open albeit with less platforms.Steamybrian2 (talk) 14:48, 15 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The matter referred to above has always one that I have been unsure of, so any clarification is of great help to me.

Xenophon Philosopher (talk) 07:25, 16 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much for your help at parapsychology. That was my first RfC and I wasn't aware that I was supposed to remove the tag to close the RfC. I've learned a lot from your comments. I will read up on the documentation regarding the things you pointed out. Morgan Leigh | Talk 23:10, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you've twice now reformatted messages I posted to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about counties. I must thank you for doing this for me, but I must be unaware of some formatting I'm doing carelessly so as not to maintain accessibility. My apologies. Could you help me by telling me what I must do to avoid having to bother you (or others) in the future who have to correct my mistakes? Many thanks.  DDStretch  (talk) 05:29, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! After some careful scrutiny of edit histories that seemed to have changed a bit, I can now see what I've been doing and which I shouldn't do - it's mostly to do with the insertion of newlines as spacers. Thanks for cleaning them up, and I'll endeavour not to insert any unnecessary and confusing ones in future. Many thanks!  DDStretch  (talk) 05:40, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Ddstretch: There are two things to consider, one is the no-blank-lines thing as described at WP:INDENTGAP, or more generally at WP:LISTGAP. The other is not to mix list styles in the wrong way, since it causes lists to be terminated and new lists started. That is, don't do this:

Thread
*Post 1
::Reply to post 1
*Post 2

or this:

Thread
*Post 1
:*Reply to post 1
*Post 2

both of which produce four lists, the third of which is a sublist to the second. Instead do this:

Thread
*Post 1
*:Reply to post 1
*Post 2

This is two lists, one being a sublist of the other. Not only is the resultant HTML much shorter, it's better for accessibility too. The easiest way to remember it is that if you are replying to a post which was indented using any form or mixture of asterisks, colons and hashes, is to copy all of the symbols from the start of the post that you are replying to, and add one more symbol (of any type) to the right-hand end of those. Then add your comment after that. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 07:07, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks. I now understand completely!  DDStretch  (talk) 08:03, 19 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please look at Claire Wilson (athlete) and Claire Wilson (University of Texas tower shooting), to understand why there should not be a redirect from Claire Wilson to Charles Whitman, and why I changed the redirect to a disambiguation instead, at the suggestion of other editors. The redirect to Claire Wilson (University of Texas tower shooting) was created by User talk:75.68.250.246.

Charles Whitman, an American murderer, has nothing to do with [[Claire Wilson (athlete), a British athlete residing in Jersey, and never did. If you insist on a RFD for this redirect to become a disambiguation with a redirect from Claire Wilson, I will do that. Whitman killed 16 people and injured 31 others, according to University of Texas tower shooting. Do you support redirects to the 46 people killed or injured? I could do that.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 13:39, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Dthomsen8: As I have advised you before, on at least three occasions, this is a WP:RFD matter; and per WP:MULTI, it is disruptive for you to attempt to discuss it in at least six other locations (so far). --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 15:22, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah i have no fucking idea how to verify the tag I gave the images, but apparently they’re going to be deleted now, and really that isn’t my problem. I’m not working for Wikipedia I’m doing this to help spread knowledge. If anyone wants to figure out how to verify the things then you’re a bloody hero — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingSepron (talk • contribs) 19:46, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@KingSepron: Regarding this post: first, put new threads at the bottom of the page, see WP:BOTTOMPOST, and always sign your posts, see WP:SIGN.

Now to the points that you raise. Copyright is a serious business, and correct licensing is essential. I suggest that you read Help:Uploading images carefully. But if you cannot find out what the copyright status of an image is, or which license it may be reused under, then you must assume that the image is not available for reuse, which means that if uploaded to Wikipedia without a valid claim of fair use, it will be summarily deleted. See Wikipedia:Image use policy.

Finally: do not swear at other Wikipedia editors. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:00, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hello R. There are a few items in Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates and I can't figure out what needs to be done. I think it is South Park related but the two pages with that name were protected quite some time ago. Your help will be appreciated. MarnetteD|Talk 15:22, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I forgot to mention that I did try null edits on all of the pages listed. MarnetteD|Talk 15:24, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I should add that the items in question are the two "South Park" pages and the three "list of longest running" articles. New pages are being added but I am removing them when I get a chance. MarnetteD|Talk 18:38, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@MarnetteD: It was this edit by The Optimistic One (talk · contribs), which I have undone. I don't know why anybody thought that it was a good idea to transclude an article to seven pages in order to obtain the number of episodes, but that's what's going on: the <onlyinclude>...</onlyinclude> tags filter out everything except the count, and their omission meant that the entire article was being transcluded, prot icons and all; not to mention causing a whole heap of error messages such as "Template loop detected". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:45, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you found it R. In my years of working with the cat I don't remember encountering this before. Always something to new to learn here at the 'pedia. Many thanks. MarnetteD|Talk 20:18, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

What difference does the <onlyinclude>...</onlyinclude> tag make? Better Call Saul's fourth season hasn't got the tag and you can still get a link to the list of episodes page. The Optimistic One (talk) 22:13, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@The Optimistic One: See Help:Template#Noinclude, includeonly, and onlyinclude. Then have a good look at the source of Better Call Saul (season 4)#Episodes. There are <onlyinclude>...</onlyinclude> tags around the whole episode table. This means that when the page is transcluded, e.g. to List of Better Call Saul episodes#Season 4 (2018), where you will find the code {{:Better Call Saul (season 4)}} it is only the episode table that is displayed, not the rest of the article. So in South Park, where you removed the <onlyinclude>...</onlyinclude> tags, this meant that the whole article was being transcluded and not just the number of episodes. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:20, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ah! I see. That makes more sense now. Thanks for the heads up. The Optimistic One (talk) 03:10, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

As the editor who introduced me to this guideline a few years ago, I was wondering if it was beneficial and in accordance with WP:NOTBROKE to, for example, change
* [[Sarah Paulson]] as [[Wilhemina Venable]], [[List of American Horror Story: Coven characters#Cordelia Goode|Cordelia Goode]], and [[List of American Horror Story: Murder House characters#Billie Dean Howard|Billie Dean Howard]]
to
* [[Sarah Paulson]] as [[Wilhemina Venable]], [[Cordelia Goode]], and [[Billie Dean Howard]]
I mean, I think it would be as there's less source text, but what do you think? Thank you (btw. you will find the source above at American Horror Story: Apocalypse#Cast and characters if you wanted to know) TedEdwards 17:33, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I like to change anchor links like that to redirects because you never know when the content to which you are pointing will become its own separate page. I recent helped to fix the links related to List of RoboCop video games which were all immediately converted to separate articles as it happened. --Izno (talk) 19:15, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Izno: Well, since the links via redirects Cordelia Goode and Billie Dean Howard both take you to the appropriate entries, I would say that it's a valid change. Not only does it make the source text clearer and more concise, it keeps open the opportunity for somebody to expand the redirs into full articles at some future date. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your recent edits here. I'll remember the counsel in your edit summaries moving forward, and not repeat the error of my previous manner. Thanks again, and be well.--John Cline (talk) 09:33, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@John Cline: It can be confusing trying to work out how lists should be separated, also when whitespace is permitted and when it isn't.

• In the case of a class="class-list" attribute, the class-list is a space-separated list of class names; hence if a semicolon is used, that is taken as part of a class name.
• In the case of a style="declaration-list" attribute, the declaration-list is a semicolon-separated list of declarations, with optional whitespace before and after those semicolons.

It gets more complicated when you write style sheets, because another kind of list comes in with its own separator - the selector-list, which is a comma-separated list of selectors, again with optional whitespace; also, each class name is now preceded with a full stop. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 11:54, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've now deleted Draft talk:Lee Sibley myself, under speedy deletion criterion G8, since it was the talk page of a nonexistent or deleted page.

In response to your edit summary on several articles.. They previously linked to National Rail Museum which redirects to National Railway Museum (disambiguation) (with lots of other countries). I was trying to make them point to National Railway Museum.— Rod ^talk 19:18, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, so you could simply have replaced the incorrect word "Rail" with the correct word "Railway". --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 20:28, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

You recently told Blacku22 and I not to use fake timestamps and to sign our posts at the time in this edit. The only posts I (I'll let Blacku22 answer on his own) didn't sign was at the bottom of the 2nd RfC we were creating, because it was still under construction and we were fine-tuning it. I thought I'd leave it unsigned until were were ready to publish it. But I will fix that from now on. As for the fake timestamps, I've never done such a thing and I have no reason to do so. Each time I sign a post, I do it with the 4 tildes (Rush922 (talk) 23:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)), AT the time I post. I don't wait until after. It's only now as I'm looking at it that I see the discrepancy between "Revision as of 21:00, 10 November 2018" and the timestamp of my post at the time which is 12:37. I really don't know why it's different, I can simply say that I did NOT type it manually. Again, I have no reason to. Maybe you can help me figure out why the system is signing my posts that way. Thanks.Rush922 (talk) 23:49, 11 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Edit: Okay, I've figured out why that timestamp was different. What happened was, I was trying to close the 2nd RfC and didn't remember the proper code to close it (i.e. the {closed rfc top}), so I copied the code from the first RfC, which included its timestamp. I did it quickly, so I didn't think to check the timestamp and I considered it 'signed.' So I guess it was my fault, but I didn't fake it as you implied - it was just a copy/paste error. Next time I'll be more careful.Rush922 (talk) 00:01, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) In this post, there is no signature: one was added some time later in this edit, but using a timestamp for that edit, not for the original. In this post there is no signature; none was added later. Similarly with this post. In this edit the timestamp is clearly faked, and almost certainly copypasted from this edit. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 00:04, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that last one was the mistake I just admitted - it wasn't faked, in the sense I didn't mean to intentionally deceive anyone by it - I just copied the code to close the rfc and wasn't thinking about the timestamp. But in any case, for edits like that and for the other edits, I will be more careful in the future, thanks.Rush922 (talk) 00:13, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you I didn't get home until about 21:30 on Sunday, and was busy all day Monday and Tuesday. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 17:58, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, one of my captions was too long, but this edit is ridiculous. Also, if you remove information from a caption, please move it somewhere else. Don't simply delete stuff that someone has taken the trouble to add. Thank you. Mypix (talk) 22:04, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You should have put it in the article text. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:06, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have reverted your edits. Please do not reinstate them. Two sentences is NOT too long for a caption. Thank you for your cooperation. Mypix (talk) 23:17, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest that you read MOS:CAPTION, particularly "Captions should be succinct; more information can be included on its description page, or in the main text.". I will add WP:V and WP:NOR to that, not to mention WP:EW. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:37, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mypix: Further to that, why are you also reverting the replacement of the arbitrary |col=00008B with the agreed |col={{BR(S) colour}}? --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:42, 13 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

"succinct" is open to interpretation. I do not agree with you that the caption is unreasonable. I think it is entirely within reasonable limits and contains only relevant information. I do not accept that your opinion on this should prevail simply because you say it should. Please note also that I do not take kindly to being accused of edit-warring and threatened with a block when YOU are the one who is edit-warring; at least, you are edit warring just as much as me. On the other point about the colour, sorry, that was just an oversight. I have restored that. Mypix (talk) 00:28, 14 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]
