Hi, glad to have you aboard, could you see my question at Talk:Andres Nin about your recent addition to that article? -- Jmabel | Talk 19:26, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Kronstadt/K. rebellion

Have you read: Kronstadt, 1917-1921: The fate of a Soviet democracy, Israel Getzler ISBN 0521894425 , Cambridge University Press. I suggest you do before putting in unsubstantiated additions. Please read: Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research. -- max rspct leave a message 13:13, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lenin and Trotsky had a lot to defend, they are obviously not unbias and Pathfinder press are pretty much old trotskyist-marxists. You really cannot alter the article using these claiming a white conspiracy - this is has been known to be false for years. Read S.A Smith's books... and Israel Getzler's book is just about THE definitive book on the subject. -- max rspct leave a message 14:08, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whats wrong with using a double negative on talkpages. Most users utilise vernacular language when conversing. Lenin and Trotsky's version of events can be included but should be identified as such and not spread around the article in POV form. I think your prejudice against the peasantry (and labelling of the 16,000+ revolters and the mass support in Petrograd) is typical of the Leninist viewpoint. Oh and as for edit wars ... there is no need.. Put that viewpoint.. the Leninist viewpoint together and source it. But don't interweave the article with stuff based solely on fringe sources and Trotsky and Lenin themselves. Also please read Wikipedia:Don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point as I fear you desire an edit war too readily. -- max rspct leave a message 23:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This edit is basically vandalism, and your edit summary is actively misleading. I've seen you do some reasonably good work elsewhere, so I won't press the matter, but misleading edit summaries are generally considered a pretty serious offense around here. I suggest that you do not do this again in the future. - Jmabel | Talk 08:12, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:1934death.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:1934death.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

Kronstadt Rebellion

You state that my editing of the page was 'vandalism' - I am willing to accept that, in the sense that it was a deliberate provocation. I was trying to draw attention to the fact that 'Max Rspct' constantly reverses any posts that do not fit with his Anarchist POV. Now obviously I have an axe to grind here, in that I am a Trotskyist, so I am pretty much bound to be opposed to his POV. But until this edit, I had not deleted his POV at all, only made minor edits where he has posted something that was unsubstantiated. However, whenever I. or anyone else, post anything giving a balance to the article, he deletes it. No discussion, no balance, just deleted. This is not right, and it is precisely why I deleted the page as I did.

In fact, my edit summary was not incorrect, the page that I left was no less unbalanced and POV than the one I deleted.

You need to 'have a word' with Max Rspct and keep an eye on his constant reversals of other people's additions to the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Trotboy (talk • contribs) 31 Jan 2006

Are you familiar with WP:POINT? If not, you should read it.

It there are factual problems with the article (uncited claims of fact), I recommend putting {{fact}} after the relevant passages. If you think there are unattributed opinions, I recommend putting {{NPOV}} at the top of the article, listing them on the talk page, suggesting that someone has a week to turn them into cited, attributed statements of opinion from sources of some note, and that after that you will cut those passages to the talk page (not delete them without substantive summaries, or, worse yet, with misleading summaries). And if there are good Trotskyist commentaries on Kronstadt, especially by Trotsky himself—there may be, I'm unfamiliar with them, in my experience Trotskyists tend to avoid the topic, hardly Trotsky's finest hour—you can quote and cite those, and if that is removed you will have a solid case that you are in the right in terms of what belongs in Wikipedia.

I'd guess, though I do not know, that Deutscher might be citable to your purpose. Alternatively, it's not like Trotskyist groups are short on bookstores staffed by knowledgable people: even if you don't know exactly where to go to find such material yourself, it should not be hard to find someone who would. -- Jmabel | Talk 16:52, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image Tagging Image:DaveN.jpg

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:DaveN.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then you can use {{GFDL-self}} to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Shyam ^(T/C) 07:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Trotboy, I messaged you before for providing source/license to the image. If you have uploaded other untagged images then please tag them also with appropriate licenses, else, I am afraid that they shall be deleted. Don't assume it is destructive. Please follow policy as well as image policy, if you assume this is destructive. I think I am not doing anything wrong. I am providing source as well as a tag to this image as you mentioned on my talk page.

Linking to categories

I noticed you had a little difficultly link to a category page over at WikiProject Devon. Putting a colon at the start of the link fixes this problem: Category:Hill forts in Devon (note that the colon is not visible in the displayed link). --Safalra 17:17, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:CIVIL

I am formally drawing your attention to WP:CIVIL in connection with your comments on User talk:Bridgeplayer#Castle Close Iron Age Hillfort in Devon, Talk:Stoodleigh and Talk:Castle Close. Please stick to the editing issues and avoid personalising matters. Bridgeplayer 20:48, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please stick to editing articles constructively, and not pettily sabotaging other people's contributions with your jobsworth nonsense, you sad git. BTW I am sticking to the editing issues - the editing issue is YOU!Trotboy 21:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism warning

You are fully aware that turkey, the bird, is written with a lower case 't'. Consequently, your edit here constitutes vandalism. If you continue to act in this way you will be blocked from editing. Bridgeplayer 16:13, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And you should know - you are one! Can dish it out, but can't take it eh? Annoying when someone messes with your posts isn't it? Fuck off and leave my posts alone, unless you can offer something constructive, and I'll do the same. Trotboy 21:31, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Final warning

I have received several complaints about your actions, and in general find them to be fully justified. It is not, under any circumstances, acceptable to call other editors an "idiot" or "nincompoop", or to swear at them. Also, please notice that no article on this project (even if you create it) is "yours". Anyone else who wishes may edit such articles, and you are fully expected to work constructively, cooperatively, and civilly with them in doing so. Any further incivility or attempts to own an article will lead to a block from editing. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 02:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Look at my posts, look at what I've contributed, look at the project that I am working on Category: Hill forts in Devon with other contributors. Then look at the complainant - singular - and his record for vandalising stubs just for the sake of it. I am not trying to 'own' any articles, any more than any contributor, but I take exception when someone goes out of their way to vandalise my contributions. It isn't me you should be warning. Trotboy 10:52, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Did indeed have a look, but what I see is just a series of merges into parent articles. This is often done when there is little to be written on a subject of local interest, but there's a "good fit" parent locality article for the information. You're certainly free to disagree with such actions, or even to reverse them (provided that you do not break the three-revert rule), but that is normal editing, not vandalism. And under no circumstances is it acceptable to be uncivil or make personal attacks, even when you really are dealing with a vandal. If the two of you cannot come to agreement, we do have dispute resolution processes-you may find the third opinion process useful if it's just the two of you who disagree. Please do keep in mind that articles or other edits you contribute are not yours, and may be edited freely by anyone else. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 11:25, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Castle Hill, Torrington

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Castle Hill, Torrington, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Castle Hill, Torrington. Kannie | talk 00:15, 24 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Devon hill forts

Hi Trotboy - good to see a few new articles on hill forts springing up... but could I ask a favour? It's help out if you could add a stub template to them if they're all going to be as short as Hembury Castle, Buckfast. Ideally, both {{Devon-struct-stub}} and {{Euro-archaeology-stub}} should be added to each, but even just {{stub}} will get them into the stub sorting system and make them more likely to be worked on. Cheers - and keep up the good article-creation work! :) Grutness...wha? 00:17, 27 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:CranmoreCastle1.jpg

Image Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading Image:CranmoreCastle1.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the image. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 21:57, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:RaddonTop.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:RaddonTop.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. ww2censor (talk) 03:37, 15 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Exeter Hill

The article Exeter Hill has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Without more detail, it's hard to see how a hill is notable, given that there are perhaps millions of them.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Rodhull andemu 00:51, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:DaveN.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:DaveN.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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-enwikimedia.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-enwikimedia.org.

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

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. 72.88.35.251 (talk) 01:41, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Berry ball moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Berry ball, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia).
