is closed. The tenor suggests that you are going to return to battling, so I'm dubious. Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:18, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(cross posting reply to email. this alt account has TPA. The main account does not.) RE your disappointed in my failure to AGF. . That you do not understand how you came across in this ticket does not argue in favor of you being unblocked. As the account you used for that ticket does have TPA, I think it best you request unblocking there. Please carefully consider your words. I've gone out on a limb for you removing that redirect so you can request unblock via your alt account. I would have, in any case, referred your unblock request to your talk page as unblock discussions should, whenever possible, occur by the light of day and not via hidden proceedings.
It is up to you to be persuasive in your unblock request. Thanks. Deepfriedokra (talk) 22:02, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

email

Please do not email me. Discussion whenever possible should be on Wiki and open to the Community's scrutiny. Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:11, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Deepfriedokra I had to tell him same. @Djm-mobile please stop sending unsolicited emails or you risk losing access to email. Star Mississippi 00:34, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to all and sorry for disturbing people. I seem to have access to this talk page from this device when "on the road". Possibly the less said here the better for the moment ... but I'd claim the encyclopedia is a little worse as for instances of cited content removal and people not knowing how to recover dead links ... etc etc including pov related stuff. Anyways I have haversines to learn and attempting to navigate the fog of coordinate uncertainty, licensing, and categorisation on commons / wikidata plus image uploading etc so plenty to do but some bof it's a long long way round without being able to edit the English wikipedia. Thankyou. Djm-mobile (talk) 15:12, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use images

Noticed source for fair use image of vic Mitchell online from RM 30 June 2018. There might be another source also. (Djm-mobile 28jul2022 1310 bst) Djm-mobile (talk) 12:11, 28 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Difficulty accessing this page

Just to say it is often very difficult for me to edit this page due to IP blocking bots targeting Djm-leighpark. I can cope with difficulty but it usually means hopping around and using specific devices on roam, namely usually my burner dog with which I have to use non-trivial techniques to get the tilde character to do signing. At present I am dealing with various commons relating stuff around Bray murals. painting, discrepencies, flick2commons GPS stuff etc etc etc - let alone images from my trip to Ireland which are outstanding to upload. Thankyou. Djm-mobile (talk) 23:45, 1 August 2022 (UTC) (It may be this issue has been resolved and caches have cleared, I'll know more after a while. Thankyou.

Vandalism, mistakes, unexplained removals, and whatever needing checking. correcting or challenging

Often stuff here will get corrected ... eventually ... perhaps

* Special:Diff/1102510467 - Doing a lot of co-ord stuff on commons recently checked out and as far as I can the coords hits with prec=1 on google maps and google streetmap totally verifies. Ah well. Djm-mobile (talk) 13:05, 5 August 2022 (UTC) - Actually it was Special/Diff:1102510939 which has been well spotted and sorted by a new(or is it retuerning) admin, the talk page revert was on the limit of just OK, the NPA voilation on the comment wasn't, and making sure its not latest edit I will AGF was not a camoflage attempt. Anyway sorted by someone so I don't have to. The thing I must remember mysself is to get the right oldid from the Diffs as its very easy get it wrong by one contribution and I'm finding myself doing that more than once. Its interesting to note I scoured for any images of the educational establishment, there appeared to be three girders sculpture that might (or might not) be on or near the campus but not enought for me to get it associated with the school.

  • Special:Diff/1101538445 & 1101538617 - The caption "An unfortunate crash for trains and notability." is a real unfortunate choice as it can be arguably taken as the equivalence of a WP:GRAVEDANCE over those on the losing side of the argument being published widely to the community as an example of how to do things. And at first glance that comment would be attributed to the person publishing the article. How many volunteer hours will now go to waste. It takes very little to destroy and satisfaction can be gained in that very easily. A quick redirect is very easy, a good merge takes far, far, far more effort. No-one seemed even to consider or mitigate the effects on Wikidata and categorisation that groundstaff have to do, its so eaasy to be an AfD hero. There's also failure to consider one the the key advantages of a Wiki which is to navigate between articles. Its not necessarily thank I disagree with the result, see Shillelagh branch line, but I do prefer consistency on a line if only a small proportion of stations are non notable. Pelletstown looks safe anyway, but I regret passing through it circa 20 July 202 07:15 and thinking .... where did that come from ... did they name it as it was the spot where gunshots were often made at the train in the 1980's to take out the train windows ... and since regret'd now taking a passing photo of some sort ... and deciding to emergency extract via Charlestown. Not as much regret not as much as missing Baileys and Pim though and not getting a photo of that (lost internet access and insufficient prep). Ah more CIR and not-English by me I expect. Sigh.

Reflections

  • I've just noticed an admin, a true king of the hist-merge, passed away recently, and immediately recalled This wasa a tough AfD and hoped my interactions with him were not bad as he was key in getting things sorted. I remember it being long trawl, and my response at Special:Diff/1064552265 seems strong ... though in the end it did avoid a DRV ... and at least one of those involved was in stress at the time and I was trying to avoid saying that explicitly. At least on review the interactions with the deceased were pretty positive. Djm-mobile (talk) 00:13, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
