Edit summaries
Hello. I have noticed that you often edit without using an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This helps your fellow editors use their time more productively, rather than spending it unnecessarily scrutinizing and verifying your work. Even a short summary is better than no summary, and summaries are particularly important for large, complex, or potentially controversial edits. Thanks!

As I have noted in my own edit summaries, many of your edits would appear to be pointless foutering about, not helped by the fact that you rarely provide an edit summary to explain them. That's not to say that an edit summary would necessarily justify your change but at least it would give others a start in understanding your intended aim. Mutt Lunker (talk) 21:29, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Edit summaries (2)
What was the point of this unnecessarily aggressive edit summary? Fact is your previous edit was badly incorrect and you had to correct it rather than, as your edit summary misleadingly claims, you just ‘undid’ my revert. It’s perfectly reasonable to question whether 3 years is worth mentioning. Your response, with an inarticulate made up word (‘un-write’), isn’t an answer to the question I posed and is pretty lacking in WP:AGF. DeCausa (talk) 22:36, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Stewarton Academy moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Stewarton Academy, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. Currently, the only two sources are primary sources, and therefore do not go to notability. You need several sources which go in-depth about the school from independent sources to show it passes notability criteria. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Replaceable fair use File:Ewen Cameron on The Late Show.png
Thanks for uploading File:Ewen Cameron on The Late Show.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dylsss(talk contribs) 01:14, 10 February 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia requires attribution (4th request)
Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from Hope (Susan Boyle album) into Susan Boyle. While you are welcome to re-use Wikipedia's content, here or elsewhere, Wikipedia's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Wikipedia, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g.,. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted copied template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. If you are the sole author of the prose that was copied, attribution is not required. — Diannaa (talk) 13:45, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

Portrait is best
I notice you have reverted a number of additions of new photos of higher res to articles with the comment "portraits are best". Is this a policy and who is to judge what is a portrait as I think all the photos considered were all "portraits". Thanks Victuallers (talk) 17:01, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Official portraits are better in the infoboxes for government ministers, if available. In this case, official portraits are available and should be used. This is common practice across Wikipedia. Please gain consensus prior to reverting. Goodreg3 (talk) 17:24, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I think you have invented this policy. Should we use Winston Churchill's official photo? The current article uses a very unofficial Canadian portrait. I think you are claiming a consensus for what you think should be policy. To use a c.170 x 200 image when a c.1700 by 2000 image is available (and actually taken by a her government is ridiculous). Please supply a policy and/or the consensus for your point of view or stop reverting. If these people resign then in 25 years we will still be using a very poor res picture of them despite hi res pictures being available. Sorry not convinced. I think you should "Please gain consensus prior to reverting." Only one of us has done any reverting. Victuallers (talk) 08:36, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * I do not appreciate your tone. You changed the infobox images without getting consensus so in this case it is you that you are arguing against. Goodreg3 (talk) 11:55, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * This is a discussion. (I haven't made any reverts so I was surprised that you told me to "not revert". That didn't seem to AGF.) I understood that your objection was that "portraits are best". I asked for the rationale as I didnt understand and the phrase is ambiguous (as it could mean content or frame shape). You say that you actually meant "Official portraits are better" and "should be used". You had made a revert of the photo of Roseanna Cunningham, the image you reverted to is not an "official portrait" but one of many taken by ScotGov's photographer and issued with 1000s of others with a free license. It was the same photographer as the one who took the more recent photo I added instead. It was just as official as the one I replaced it with. Was this a mistake, is this about "official" portraits? Can you explain? Is this just about putting a comment on the talk page for a week before making the change? Or is about "official portraits"? I apologise if you don't like my tone but I am finding it difficult to pin down your rationale. Victuallers (talk) 12:19, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "Official portraits" are used by the government in an official capacity, professionally taken and photographed when the minister is appointed to a particular cabinet position. I do not see how the image you replaced it with is better, despite the fact it is a newer image. The image currently on the page has no background and only shows the person in question. The fact an image is "newer" is not a valid argument for changing it. In this case, pages such as Margaret Thatcher will have images of her in 2004 which are available through Commons. Instead, her "official government portrait" is used. Goodreg3 (talk) 12:37, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Now I understand all of that. I know what an official portrait is. I suspect that actually the picture of Margaret Thatcher used in her article is not in fact the official one otherwise it would have an OGL license... and in the case of Roseanna Cunningham both of the pictures are just as "official" as each other. So do we agree that this idea of an "official portrait" is in fact irrelevant here and your objection is not based on whether its official or not. Actually, you say now, its down to "background" and only showing the person in question. I can understand that view - I'm glad we have put that other stuff to one side. Now I haven't claimed that I have an argument in each case for making the change apart from the fact that they are IMO better. I don't need a better argument than that. That's how Wikipedia works. If they were good or featured class articles then I would have discussed the change on the talk page. If anyone (e.g.me) makes a change and you can see that the new image is in your opinion "no better" why revert (with no consensus). Surely we encourage editors to "be bold" and then people, with a rationale, can then talk about their arguments for reverting. If you think someone (eg me) has made it worse then tell them the reason. We can then discuss that reason and decide if your rationale is convincing. I will try and ensure that I find a photo for Roseanna that is IMO better (and doesn't contain a background), and if you think it is worse then we can discuss your argument. Have I missed something?

Proposed deletion of Gavin Magnus
Hello, Goodreg3

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Whiteguru, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, Gavin Magnus, for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit Edit the page]
 * 2) Remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) Click the  button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And remember to sign your reply with. Thanks!

June 2021
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Ayr. This means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be although other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ''The recent change from "largest" to "second largest" was never sourced. As far as I can tell it is the largest, but neither of you has sourced your version or discussed it. It's not appropriate for you to leave an edit summary stating that you will request that the user "be blocked for engaging in an edit war and not providing the requested references to support your [his] claim" when you have never warned the editor, never discussed the edit on a talk page, and are engaged in exactly the same behaviour as the other editor (edit warring to your preferred unsourced version). If anything, the Honestman is restoring the article to its original state. I have simply removed the claim.'' Meters (talk) 00:22, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.


 * I think you will actually find that this edit was sourced and had been sourced from the outset of the change on the article. The other user in question regarding this edit war is failing to provide a reference to dispute otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, please see the original provided reference to support the fact that Kilmarnock is now the largest settlement in Ayrshire. Please ensure you are fully aware of the situation regarding references being provided by myself from the outset before highlighting this. Thank you. Goodreg3 (talk) 00:27, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Take it to the article's talk page. I have already started the thread. I warned both of you for edit warring, and I removed the claim entirely pending talk page consensus.
 * Please read WP:EW. You are clearly edit warring. You have not discussed this on the article's talk page. You have not warned the other user, but you are threatening to have him blocked for edit warring. And despite what you claim, I do not see this supposed reference (or any other reference for the claim) in the article. Meters (talk) 04:37, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Texas articles and Cocteau Twins discography
Hello. I'm a little concerned about your recent edits to articles for releases by the band Texas. Firstly, on Hi (album), it looks as if you semi-plagiarised from several sources, namely the Albumism reference, to describe songs. These quotes to describe the sound of several songs should have been between quotation marks to denote they were taken directly from sources, otherwise this could be considered a copyright violation per WP:COPYVIO. Secondly, you apparently copied the chart table directly from the article for Jump on Board and only changed the chart positions. The names in the album= parameters were wrong, and the German chart link pointed to the entry for Jump on Board. All these errors have been fixed, but please be more careful and change such things in future.

Not only this, but also on the articles you started for Let's Work It Out and Can't Control, you have taken French chart positions from Texas discography, seemingly trusting that information without verifying the chart positions were actually in the sources yourself. Those chart positions were most likely taken from the French download chart, and the chart positions are not listed on lescharts.com, which is where the French chart links generated by Template:Single chart point to.

Please also do not add unsourced genres (per WP:V), nor source genres to Discogs. Discogs is a user-generated source and thus fails WP:USERG. It is just other regular Internet users/music enthusiasts adding whatever genre they think a song or album is, so it is not reliable whatsoever.

Finally, as for your edits to Cocteau Twins discography, the entries you put under singles are already listed under the EPs section directly above. You are essentially doubling up information. The articles for the entries you added describe those releases as EPs, not singles. They don't even meet the traditional definition of a single—Sunburst and Snowblind and Echoes in a Shallow Bay are not even the names of songs, they are titles of EPs. EPs below a certain number of tracks in the 1980s charted on the UK Singles Chart, not the UK Albums Chart, but this does not make them singles. If you wish to propose that they should be considered singles, please propose so on the talk page, or better yet, Talk:Cocteau Twins where you might get more feedback. Thanks.  Ss  112   14:34, 19 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Also, I've just noticed your change on Amy Macdonald discography to add the Polish certification. A rule of thumb for discographies is that we do not list certifications for countries that do not have matching chart columns on the page. These certifications are generally only listed at either the album or single article. Just another note: we don't need to precede file names in file= parameters with "File:" This is expected and provided automatically.  Ss  112   15:11, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Amy Macdonald Flower of Scotland.png
Thanks for uploading File:Amy Macdonald Flower of Scotland.png. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of fair use. However, I think that the way it is being used fails the first non-free content criterion. This criterion states that files used under claims of fair use may have no free equivalent; in other words, if the file could be adequately covered by a freely-licensed file or by text alone, then it may not be used on Wikipedia. If you believe this file is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and add the text  below the original replaceable fair use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write a full explanation of why you believe the file is not replaceable.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification, per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:11, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Pretty much the same thing also applies to File:Craig Ferguson and Jay Leno, Final show 2014.png. A non-free screenshot is not needed just to show that someone appeared as a guest on a talk show. This can be more that sufficiently understood through text alone supported by citations. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:30, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Goodreg3. I noticed that your recent edit to Ray Montgomerie added a link to an image on an external website or on your computer, or to a file name that does not exist on Wikipedia's server. For technical and policy reasons it is not possible to use images from external sources on Wikipedia. Most images you find on the internet are copyrighted and cannot be used on Wikipedia, or their use is subject to certain restrictions. If the image meets Wikipedia's image use policy, consider uploading it to Wikipedia yourself or request that someone else upload it. See the image tutorial to learn about wiki syntax used for images. Thank you. Sumanuil. 02:44, 5 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Sumanuil. I appreciate your comment and understand your reasons for reverting the edit. However, I am afraid the removal of my edit by yourself was done prematurely as the image is copyright free as it was captured by myself and the only reason it had a red link was that I had requested a rename of the file to avoid clashing with another image that already shared the previous original name of the image. It has now been fixed. Thanks. Goodreg3 (talk) 21:03, 8 June 2022 (UTC)
