A difficult situation
Hello,. Would you please see the discussion at Talk:Wiltshire County Council, in particular my last post there, and give us some thoughts from the point of view of an Admin? Kind regards, Moonraker (talk)

I had a look. I can see that it appears to have got into a tricky place but everyone seems to have an entrenched position. I don't think anyone intended to create this but now its there. Is it impossible to create a compromise? I'm not sure that discussing what would be ideal will help as surely it may be necessary to target a new position which is not optimal. Victuallers (talk) 23:05, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for the thanks
I'm guessing you stumbled across that article somehow? I was working through the list of Cat A buildings in Moray, trying to tick off any that didn't have articles (a job I've yet to finish, but I made some headway), and I came across her while researching Aberlour House. I was intrigued, and started digging, and just kept getting more intrigued. I still can't believe her story isn't more widely known. Girth Summit  (blether) 16:00, 27 January 2024 (UTC)

First image
Dear Victuallers, Hello! I am trying to learn how to add images to a page. I have done my first one at Chiqui Vicioso. A long time ago in Edinburgh you said you might help/check my first one or two. If you have time, that would be great! I am concerned that I haven't cited any photographer and wouldn't know how to. Balance person (talk) 10:44, 30 April 2024 (UTC)


 * That looks fine BP. If you find the image on commons then in 99.9% of cases the image will have an adequate license and the photographer if known will be cited. The photographer in this case is acknowdedged - if a reader clicks on the image and that is usually how it works. We don't normally explicitly mention the photographer in the image caption but you could if you wanted or if it was particularly relevant (e.g. photo taken by another notable person). Hope that helps. Roger aka Victuallers (talk) 11:03, 30 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks Roger (if I may), that is very helpful. Another query. If I take a photo myself of the front cover of the last issue of Women's Report, which contains cartooning by someone I am not in contact with ..not even sure who did it, I suppose that I cannot upload that to Commons....right? Unless I can find out who cartooned it and get their permission? Balance person (talk) 08:41, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Thats correct, I find that getting permission from people for a single photo is not really worth it (if they have 1,000s then diff story). The explanation of what and why permission is required defies most people's patience. Usually quicker to take a new photo of yourself of the obkect or person if possible. .... However for Women's Report you could take a photo of the front of a magazine and then reduce the image size to 300x 300 and then I can tell you how to load that under a special copyright clause called "fair use". Roger aka Victuallers (talk) 14:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi! I have taken a photo of the front cover of the last issue of Women's Report and have cropped it and saved it on my pc. I logged in, went to the WR page, clicked edit, put cursor in sensible place, clicked Insert, selected the file with my photo in it, described the photo and gave it a name. It wants me to fill in the 'Category' box on this 'Media Settings' page. Am I in the right place? If so, what do I put in the box and how do I do the fair use thing? If I am in the wrong place, maybe I should start again?! Tech is not my strong point. Alternatively I could send you the photo!!! But it would be good to learn the right way. Balance person (talk) 12:23, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Oh! well say sorry if anyone complains. Edit the picture and save it when it is less than 300 x 300 pixels in size. You need to load it here as "a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use".. You find this link in Wikipedia when you are looking at a Wikipedia article and on the left hand side it says "Upload file". Basically you are doing something that is "just" legal. "Choose Upload a non-free file" You are using an image that belongs to someone else, but the law allows this IF you explain that you are not going to use it at full res. You will be asked to find the file and then it will ask you various questions. Give honest answers and remember you are loading "a non-free file" and it is "official cover art of a work" and its "a low res version". With luck that might get you through it. or try this link Victuallers (talk) 15:03, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Well I hope I have done it right! Thanks for your detailed advice. I will now go and lie down in a darkened room. Balance person (talk) 16:17, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Jennifer Uchendu
Hi, Vittlers! I'm trying to understand what's going on at Jennifer Uchendu. It looks as if you made 10 edits to the article, and then, after it was speedily deleted by under WP:G4/WP:G11, you undeleted one revision (complete with speedy-deletion template, and with the rationale "seems to have been deleted in error or at least with no rationale"). Were you not at that time already involved to the point that you should have taken no further admin action? Was the rationale given by Deb not clear to you? Did you contact her before (imperfectly) undoing her deletion? Perhaps I've misread the history entirely, of course. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 21:10, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I think I did imperfectly try to undelete it. No I did not see the rationale I'll look for it. I may have been over enthusiastic Victuallers (talk) 21:16, 1 May 2024 (UTC) Still cannot see it, all I see is "draftify and clean up a bit" in the edit history. Nyttend seems to have fixed it. Victuallers (talk) 21:22, 1 May 2024 (UTC)


 * You're both correct in the sense that I moved the article to draft space, partly because of the dubious edit history. I never leave a redirect when I draftify, so I guess that's where the impression came from that I deleted it. Victuallers, I can see you've done a lot of work on Women in Red, so I assume you got the idea of creating the article from the red list. It came to my attention because of the report on Sockpuppet investigations/Dotun55, the user who had created Jennifer Olachi Uchendu, which was deleted in February by User:Rosguill. You may not have been aware of this. I can see why you feel she's notable, but I wondered why you moved the article out of draft without waiting for an independent review, though obviously your changes made a big improvement to it and I think it would have passed. Deb (talk) 07:38, 2 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Hi Deb, thanks for the explanation. My goal was to give a biography to her as a notable Nigerian and I was half way through it before I discovered there was a deleted version and a draft. My approach is always to create an article rather than working on drafts as they don't add so much to the project. WIR creates main space articles and trains others to also do that. It wasn't clear why it was there although it had some failings - its not the worst BLP article on wiki by a long way. This was not the deleted version but a new version. I could see that I could easily move it to be a start article and others would be able to improve the article in main space - which they have. IMO its eyes that improves articles. I could then get on with other work.... as it is I'm seeing a link to her deleted in another article - which seems odd but Ive restored it as it moves her towards being an orphan article. Anyway thx for your work. Victuallers (talk) 08:52, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

Replaceable non-free use File:Sharan Rani.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Sharan Rani.jpg. I noticed that this file is being used under a claim of non-free 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 non-free 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 non-free use template, replacing   with a short explanation of why the file is not replaceable.
 * 2) On the file's talk 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) 01:54, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Diana Salazar Méndez
Hello Victuallers I just noticed that in the Diana Salazar Méndez the reference to her impeachments was deleted. I would appreciate understanding why it should be deleted instead of kept.


 * Hello - I see four impeachments mentioned, one I added, in new detail?? You are free to edit the article Victuallers (talk) 19:06, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Thank you from an Aussie bird

 * Thanks Aussie Bird - I really appreciate seeing that you have read and corrected my spelin. Ive been driving to Norway and back for the last two weeks so good to be home.... and I'm an hororary Aussie (my son-in-law is from Oz). So in thanks, I did two today!

 * I agree, you are the 2nd person to say that... but following a debate it was decided that it was essential that I was not. I don't mind - it doesnt waste my time, but I'm not sure the NPP watchers like the extra work, if soneone wants to change it back then I think it would be an improvement. IMO it undermines the work of the wikiprojects - where experienced editors look after each other. Victuallers (talk) 17:54, 6 June 2024 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

 * Sorry I disagree. It was much better, but the tags win over enthusiasm IMO. Victuallers (talk) 10:36, 8 June 2024 (UTC)

contacting admins listed as recently active
Could I request a look at the interventions of User:Maurnxiao in Talk:2024 United Kingdom general election, sections Infobox, Muslim Vote, and Workers Party.

A member of less than a week (although his very first post was challenging the status of sources as reliable, making me suspect he has been active under a different identity), entirely unaccepting of the principle of consensus, determined to see a level of coverage of one political party that is disproportionate to that given by mainstream news sources. Highly disruptive, unwilling to accept that his preference is not grounds to change the approach taken by the article. Time sensitive issue (election is in 10 days), so a quicker intervention would be desirable. Is seeking a topic ban suitable, or is some other solution more suitable.

With thanks. Kevin McE (talk) 08:31, 24 June 2024 (UTC)


 * Obviously I feel an intense urge to defend myself after the way in which you have defaced my honor as an editor on here, but I should also really say that I had already acknowledged the lack of consensus and had stopped pushing for an inclusion of the Workers Party in the infobox with pictures should it be reintroduced. My question had been at what point does a regional party become significant enough in Westminster to be included. You had also promised to push for a "topic ban", whatever that is, if I should continue talking about Galloway in the talk page. I didn't make a single edit anywhere after that warning, and yet you chose to smear my name on so many different user talk pages? Maurnxiao (talk) 10:39, 24 June 2024 (UTC)


 * I had a quick read ... and it appears that was making little effort to find a consensus. I note that (s)he is new here. My advice would be to avoid contentious subjects like forthcoming elections. Wikipedia usually manages to establish something of a consensus because those who feel really strongly about issues are not encouraged to join the debate. If you believe that you are putting forward a minority (but popular) view then you can be sure that others will add it without your advocacy. Victuallers (talk) 11:08, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for making Category:21st-century Chinese sportswomen. Don't forget to add all the relevant parent categories so other people can find the page.
