September 2011
You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war&#32; according to the reverts you have made on Aftermath of World War II. 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. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states: If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; 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. Lagrange613 (talk) 17:13, 12 September 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
 * 2) Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

Response to above: Firstly, I have no intention of starting a 'Wikipedia war' with anyone. I have no idea who the subject writing team, or editors are, and it is not clear who I should contact to discuss my contribution. I am new to this form of web-contribution. Just to delete it or paraphrase the contribution, does need some explanation I would have thought? Long Ben Avery.


 * The article talk page (Talk:Aftermath of World War II) is the place to discuss edits to the article. The contributors to the article are in the article history (look for the "View History" tab at the top of the text to the left of the search box. If you are new to wikipedia editing, I suggest a read through Help:Contents/Getting started if you havent done so yet.GraemeLeggett (talk) 18:03, 12 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Long Ben Every, I appreciate your willingness to work in good faith. On Wikipedia, the "team" is whoever wants to improve the article, so consider yourself a member of the team. The above warning just means that, instead of changing something back to what you want over and over, you should try participating on the article's talk page, as GraemeLeggett writes above. For more on editing on Wikipedia after GraemeLeggett's excellent suggestion of Help:Contents/Getting started, have a look at the tutorial. There's also more in depth discussion about editing and developing articles. I'd also recommend you look at the five pillars to get an idea of the overall ethos. If it's overwhelming or if you still don't feel you know where to start, consider requesting mentorship. Welcome to Wikipedia! Lagrange613 (talk) 18:14, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Francis Brerewood
Hi Long Ben every - thanks for your edits to Francis Brerewood. You need to identify a source though - where is your information coming from? Thanks in advance - Asteuartw (talk) 11:41, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

Hello Asteuartw - have now included references as suggested -although they are repetitive.
 * Hi Long Ben Every, thanks for that - the page looks much better now. And you are right, the citations are a bit repetitive, but it is still important to show where the material is sourced. This helps subsequent editors identify what is serious, sourced information that should not be deleted. You should really do the same for Thomas Brerewood, which suffers from the same problem. Happy editing and good luck! - Asteuartw (talk) 13:44, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Problems with upload of File:Horst Weber.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Horst Weber.jpg. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:
 * Image use policy
 * Image copyright tags

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 17:05, 11 October 2011 (UTC)

I am new to 'adding images' to Wikipedia, and was trying to attempt the process, but not progressing far. The image was to add to the Horst Weber Wikipedia file as relevant material. This image has been floating around the internet for some years and I am not clear as to copyright source at the moment. It must have been taken around 1943, he signed the photo so it suggests 'given to one of his admirers, friends or family', and he died in 2007. Probably a clear-out of old family effects? I suspect the image became part of post WW2 material that appears in 'image or postcard' exchange fairs for collectors. This is my speculation. Any suggestions would be helpful. The Horst Weber image is featured on the 'Gentleman's Military Interest Club' site -gmic.co.uk It's a Militaria Forum for the discussion of Military Collectables, Medals, Decorations and Awards. The actual page is: http://gmic.co.uk/index.php/user/4267-erichb/

List of POW camps in Italy
Hi, Long Ben Every. As you have no doubt seen, I share your interest in improving this article. But, personally, I do not see the Notes column as the right place for extended info about individual escapes, or for the promotion of books (other than in citations, of course). I would suggest that a lengthier account, eg, of Campo 78, Sulmona, would warrant a separate article (cf. Stalag VII-A)—and that's the end result we should be aiming for. That way, the present article can remain as a handy and brief list, as intended, but with wikilinks to the fuller articles where appropriate. Your recent edits also tend to provide original research without citations, which should therefore be removed under Wikipedia guidelines. We can look for suitable references, but I still think you should be developing that content into separate articles in a sandbox (with a text file copied and kept on your own PC) for launching when they are ready. I plan to do the same with Campo 54, Fara in Sabina which especially interests me. If you are serious about contributing, you should also register as a user. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 00:32, 10 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello Brian, Yes I agree with you. I was doing other research (see Vincigliata PG12) and added bits of material to Italian POW Camps -I should be more disciplined Kind regards Long Ben Avery.
 * I see, yes, you've done a lot of work there. May I suggest that you could have a separate main article titled, say, "Campo 12, Vincigliata" and link it in as per this example?  (I notice, too, that this in turn has a main-article spinoff for escapes!) That way you could avoid 'drowning' the distinguished castle subject in its 1941-43 POW history. Just a thought. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 15:48, 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for you addition to the article on Michael Gambier-Parry which is valuable.

Hi, this message is to let you know about disambiguation links you've recently created. A link to a disambiguation page is almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles.

Copyrights
Please note that it is entirely inappropriate to copy and paste material from other websites into Wikipedia. Rklawton (talk) 03:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

What a patronising and unkind response. Is that all you can say? What material are you referring to? It is inevitable that some material relevant to some Wikipedia subjects such as 'Derek Bond' are featured on the web. However they are clearly referenced and linked. It could have done with further editing which I was working on - but to delete the entire material apart from some basic copy is 'high -handed' to say the least. I understood Wikipedia was built on consensus. What right have you to do this? Long Ben Every (talk) 11:15, 21 November 2011 (UTC) The original page had (and now does) a note at the bottom stating 'This article about an English actor or actress is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it' That is what I was doing in good faith. A lot of research work went into that. Long Ben Every (talk) 11:19, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Long Ben Every. Re your edits to Derek Bond: the trick with copying and pasting text from 3rd party websites is to re-word it. You can keep the substance of the text, but just make sure you re-write it so as not to be in breach of copyright. It takes more time, but that way your edits won't get reverted. All is not lost! Good luck and happy editing Asteuartw (talk) 12:56, 21 November 2011 (UTC) Thanks for your kind and helpful comments. I will note that in future. Long Ben Every (talk) 13:45, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

I would define "patronizing" for you and explain why incivility isn't appropriate here on Wikipedia, but that would be patronizing. Likewise, I think it should be obvious that copying and pasting text from other websites doesn't fly, either. You are new here, so expect to make a few mistakes, so ask for help when you need it, listen, and learn. Editing Wikipedia can be fun - or frustrating, depending on your approach. Rklawton (talk) 13:17, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Dear Mr Lawton, your point is taken. However, you do have an unfortunate manner trying to explain things, too clever by half, -see above comments and learn. Long Ben Every (talk) 13:45, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I've been editing here nine years, and I'm an administrator. If you walked into a pub for the first time and started doing things all your own way and then smarted off to the regulars, I think you could expect to be tossed out on your ear. While I have the authority to do that, I'd rather just help you learn the ropes. Rklawton (talk) 15:52, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello Mr Lawton, clearly you are very important person with the power of life and death over a new boy like me. My point was, and still is, -if in the first place you'd explained as an 'Administrator' I needed to change or edit the copy for the 'Derek Bond' page, I would of course have done it willingly. Perhaps giving me a little time to do it. Just to delete without much explanation was not a way to help me, as you say you wish. That is why I challenged you. The independent explanation from 'Asteuartw' (see above) was helpful and I've leant from that. Incidentally not all the material was 'cut & paste' -many factual items were sourced from written sources. I will attempt another edit of Derek Bond and I would ask you to put away your 'six-shooter' for the time being.Long Ben Every (talk) 18:25, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Your previous edits are still available in the article's edit history. You can look them up and copy/paste them into the newest version without having to recreate your lost work from scratch. But by all means, avoid any edits that were copy/pasted from another website. Rklawton (talk) 19:26, 21 November 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Mr Lawton for telling me where the copy 'body' is buried. I'll remember your advice when I exhume it.
 * No worries. These ease of access to prior edits is the main reason we're comfortable removing potentially problematic edits - restoring worthy edits requires very little time and effort. Rklawton (talk) 14:11, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Guy E Ruggles-Brise


A tag has been placed on Guy E Ruggles-Brise requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Apologies I will amend accordingly Long Ben Every (talk) 17:32, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Tommy Farr
Hi again, Long Ben. Er, it's interesting but rather trivial (and in no way a 'reference' to the article) that there's an omnibus called Tommy Farr in Brighton. Next time I'm over there, I must seek it out from nostalgia--because my dad went to school with Tommy in Clydach Vale. Are you planning to bring all of the named buses into Wikipedia? If so, you might try doing it in an article about Brighton buses, and just linking to the famous names. Anyway, no hard feelings, I have to revert this one because it's quite out of place and IMHO contributes nothing of encyclopedic note to the Tommy Farr article. Cheers, Bjenks (talk) 04:15, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Hello Brian, Fair enough - although it was a piece of trivia -it is fact. Brighton & Hove is a very cosmopolitan city and has been celebrating famous (dead) personalities who lived in the city on the front of buses as well in a 'Star pavement walk' in the marina for years. My though was this acknowledgement of a famous Welsh boxer - would add some factual information to the article. I too was born in Wales, and my mother remembers his 'big' pre-war fight in New York, everyone was huddled around the wireless. Long Ben Every (talk) 09:50, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

Could you help out here?
I see that you are the principle editor of SS Volendam. You may recall that an editor expressed concner about close paraphrasing back in December. I see you made some subsequent edits, but IMO, the article and the sources are a not too close for comfort. As you are familiar with the subject matter, would you be willing to take a crack at it? (I am working on the items listed at Copyright problems, and the backlog is literally hundreds of items, so I'd prefer to concentrate my editing on article whether the editor is no longer around.

If you take a look at

http://toolserver.org/~dcoetzee/duplicationdetector/compare.php?url1=http%3A%2F%2Fen.wikipedia.org%2Fwiki%2FSS_Volendam&url2=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bbc.co.uk%2Fhistory%2Fww2peopleswar%2Fstories%2F36%2Fa4296936.shtml&minwords=5&minchars=13

you can see that there are still a number of multi-word phrases appearing in both. Some phrase are inevitable, surely there is more than one way to express the thought in "gave the order to abandon ship and despite rough seas all 18 lifeboats got away safely".

The other source seems to be less of an issue, but here is the report:

Winterfold House and EHD Sewell
Glad to help re Winterfold House. Regarding your article E H D Sewell, unfortunately there's already an article E. H. D. Sewell about the same guy! Before creating an article it's important always to check whether one already exists under a slightly different name. I suggest that you edit the older article to add any new material from your own article. Once that's been done, since deleting an article can only be done by an admin, I suggest that the easiest thing would be for you to make yours a redirect to that article.

Rhymney
Hi! Thanks for your message. With regards my undoing your edits, there are two things to consider: firstly nothing is ever truly deleted from Wikipedia (removed text can be retrieved by using the "undo" button or by simply copying and pasting from previous versions of the article, which are accessible via the edit history), and secondly, the onus is on you to provide sources for any text that you add, as outlined at WP:BOP. How is anyone supposed to know that you'll be coming back later to add references? The vast majority of editors who fail to cite their sources, never return to rectify their oversight. Also, in my defense, your initial edit was made over two weeks ago, with no further activity since then, so even if I had of waited a few days, it was looking like you weren't coming back. Anyway, I see that you've added some sources now, so thank you for that. Hope there’s no hard feelings. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 10:53, 3 September 2013 (UTC) No hard feeling at all.

Harache family
I note you are a devotee of rugby and beer (and perhaps cricket too), so you are bound to be a good egg. That's the flattery over with !

This is a bit of a long shot, but perhaps you could assist me. I do regular work on [Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup from January 2016] (and in that, ever ongoing, date series), and am trying to keep the number of articles therein to a minimum. I noticed you undertook several edits on the above mentioned article, albeit way back in October 2011. The thing is that the citations listed therein are somewhat short of a full reference. Is there any chance you could revisit this article and try to expand the references, or point me in the right direction(s).

Many thanks,

 * I have done some improvements and changed two inline citations for the Harache family article, but I do not know how to make more progress. I work on [Category:Articles needing link rot cleanup from February 2016], but Derek does far more than I do. Worse, from his standpoint, I add linkrot tags with Twinkle when I can't figure out how to fix some references. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:08, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I'm Boleyn. Long Ben Every, thanks for creating HMS Soldado!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Please finish this in draftspace, then move it back - it's not ready for the mainspace yet. Thanks for your hard work on this.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

File permission problem with File:TCRFC Book Cover.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:TCRFC Book Cover.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
 * make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
 * Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add OTRS pending to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as non-free fair use or one of the other tags listed at File copyright tags, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

Speedy deletion nomination of Eustace Liscard
Hello Long Ben Every,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Eustace Liscard for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly indicate why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

Recent edit reversion
In this edit here, I reverted some information that appears to be a violation of our copyright policy.

I provided a brief summary of the problem in the edit summary, which should be visible just below my name. You can also click on the "view history" tab in the article to see the recent history of the article. This should be an edit with my name, and a parenthetical comment explaining why your edit was reverted. If that information is not sufficient to explain the situation, please ask.

I do occasionally make mistakes. We get hundreds of reports of potential copyright violations every week, and sometimes there are false positives, for a variety of reasons. (Perhaps the material was moved from another Wikipedia article, or the material was properly licensed but the license information was not obvious, or the material is in the public domain but I didn't realize it was public domain, and there can be other situations generating a report to our Copy Patrol tool that turn out not to be actual copyright violations.) If you think my edit was mistaken, please politely let me know and I will investigate. S Philbrick (Talk)  12:38, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
