Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Lakeside and Haverthwaite Railway, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Preston. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hello, Moylesy98,
I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether BR Standard 4 2-6-0 76084 should be deleted. Your comments are welcome at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BR Standard 4 2-6-0 76084 .
If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top.
Thanks, Blythwood (talk) 08:59, 15 December 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in LMS Jubilee Class 5699 Galatea, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems.

Hello. Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia.
When editing Wikipedia, there is a field labeled "Edit summary" below the main edit box. It looks like this:
Edit summary (Briefly describe your changes)
Please be sure to provide a summary of every edit you make, even if you write only the briefest of summaries. The summaries are very helpful to people browsing an article's history.
Edit summary content is visible in:
Please use the edit summary to explain your reasoning for the edit, or a summary of what the edit changes. You can give yourself a reminder to add an edit summary by setting Preferences → Editing → Prompt me when entering a blank edit summary.

An article you recently created, SR West Country class 21C146 Braunton, does not have enough sources and citations 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).

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on West Coast Railways; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 23:43, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Timing analysis: Double chimney: Revision history shows that Double chimney was created [again] at 04:02, 16 January 2019 (UTC) by Andy Dingley. So, an editor nominated a [no-content] "test" page for deletion via the AdministWikiocracy; about 2 hours later an administrator deleted it; and then about 3 hours after that, the same editor created the same page with content. Possibly suddenly inspired to create the now-absent page; possibly just to establish "credit" for "actually" creating the page with [ready] content that could have just been edited in. I've seen the latter before - an editor explicitly asked an administrator to delete a weak page so that they could "create" it - and I was further shocked that the administrator actually humored the request! It takes all kinds. It's sad that the history of deleted articles is lost (unless captured by Deletionpedia or the like). But some tracks are left, at scattered user-talk pages and centrally at AfD. I'd like to see a bot analysis of how many pages have been nominated for deletion and then created anew by the same editor who nominated them. Some editors might have done it multiple times. I wonder who holds the record. (Some internal and external tools research or track creations and edit counts that are otherwise too hard to find in the millions of edit logs.) -A876 (talk) 00:20, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
In this edit [8] on the West Coast Railways article I removed unsourced material about owners per WP:V. You have replaced them with this edit [9] without providing a source, including in your edit summary "There is no page in existance for David Smith and no references over the web. The locos without names are owned by David Smith of WCR", which seems to be an admission that it is your WP:OR. Please clarify your justification for the replacement, or remove the unsourced material.SovalValtos (talk) 16:39, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
Iv been falsely blocked by someone who cant learn to accept genuine information from genuine sources, including an article relating to 45212 as a genuine link regarding the engines return to the KWVR was added and once again people have falsely blocked me. I therefore ask that this block is lifted as iv done nothing wrong and was just passing on genuine info from other sources. The block therefore wasnt neccesary and has been falsely placed on myself. This user who placed the block has also got no relation to the article that was being worked on so therefore has falsely blocked my account.Moylesy98 (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
Decline reason:
It would be completely proper and desirable for someone uninvolved in the article or dispute to block you; if the blocking admin was involved, it would be a violation of WP:INVOLVED. Looking at your edits, you did indeed edit war. Your unblock request does not address this, and attempts to shift the blame, so I am declining it.

We have two articles; LMS Royal Scot Class and LMS Rebuilt Royal Scot Class, there is no need to get them mixed up. Nor is it a good idea to deliberately put back bad photos when we have a good one. Also it's = it is, its = singular neuter possessive.
And also, punctuation. Tony May (talk) 14:02, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
The photo is a nice snapshot and your grammar is worse than your photography, but it's not technically the best photo. Tony May (talk) 14:11, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
Since you've mentioned it, I've had a look at some of your photos for you. If you pay attention to good composition and exposure techniques, you have the potential to become a better photographer. By and large your main problem is (1) composition - putting the subject in the middle of the frame (see rule of thirds and (2) composition - allowing stuff (trees, walls, etc) to get between you and the subject.
It would help if you didn't clutter Wikimedia commons with images which are not up to appropriate standards.Tony May (talk) 14:32, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
|||==My photographs== Iv been putting my back out for years taking those photographs and without some of those there wouldnt be any photos on certain articles, with the shot of 5972 that couldnt be helped as the sun was facing to east hence the shadow across the engine. The shot of the scot attacking Shap was taken over 4-5 years ago and id not had the camera that long when it was taken so dont slag me off for that. The nameplate of Glasgow Highlander was taken when we had an amber weather warning so couldnt be helped and there are no other shots in existance on wiki which show 45407 in that identity. The nameplate shot of BIL is better than nothing as again there are no other nameplate photos of the engine up.
If you think you have better photos why dont you upload some of yours to Wiki then, I doubt you have though. But keep your disgusting thoughts about my work to yourself as it isnt welcomed here.
You see this?
Can't you see that you're shooting at mid-day into the sun, leading to both (1) a massive overexposed sky in the right top of the picture and (2) shadows on the underframe. Don't take photos into the sun, particularly with a digital camera.
My aim is to get the best photo that is (1) illustrative and (2) technically competent into the photo. Sometimes there's a compromise between the two.
Your aim appears to get your photos into the articles, despite their lacking any technical competence whatsoever.
Oh and Dave, please remember to sign your name with four squiggles. Tony May (talk) 02:08, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Again - I'm not "slagging you off" - that's a personal attack from you on me. I'm trying to get good, useful photos into the articles. If you were to take any such photos, I'm sure we'd be happy to include them. However, if there are better photos, they will be relegated out of the article. I think I've demonstrated my point above. Ideally I would delete the poor ones from the Commons as well. It is straightforward to get composition and exposure right; such as the small selection below:
Phil knows what he's doing - give him credit for that. I'd much prefer you learnt and developed into a competent photographer, like Phil.Tony May (talk) 03:23, 5 March 2019 (UTC)

OK Dave,
Please understand it's nothing personal. If we didn't have any better images, we could use yours. I think that's fair to you, isn't it? You can't just put your photograph in the article like you WP:OWN it, and you
Here's your chance. Can you explain to me which of these is the best (i.e. most illustrative) and why? Some of these are great, some are just so-so OK. Please try to use some use technical such as "composition", "lighting" and "exposure" in your answer:
Perhaps you would like to have a look at some elementary photography videos on Youtube?
Tony May (talk) 00:03, 12 March 2019 (UTC)
Please stop trying to insert your own poor quality photographs into articles where better quality photographs are available.
These are not your articles to insert your technically poor photos into. You complain I'm "making you look like a shit photographer" (your words). - Firstly I don't need to make you look like a "shit photographer" - you're managing that all by yourself on Flickr. Secondly, not putting your bad photos in Wikipedia is going to hide your photography anyway, so no-one will realise your lack of ability.
I have selected photos based on illustrative and technical merit. These come from a selection of photographers on Flickr who have made their contributions available under licence. There are not that many active photographers who licence their image however, but the main ones are Phil Sangwell, Andrew, Hugh Llewellyn, and a few others. I care not who.
Please don't warn me about "having to take action" - you're the one who keeps getting blocked for edit warring - please discuss on the talk page where necessary. Please make reference to the illustrative value of your desired images. Tony May (talk) 00:38, 15 March 2019 (UTC)
Dave,
Please provide justifications on the talk page why you think "my images" should be included. And I promise I'll listen to content-based arguments and what others have to say. Tony May (talk) 04:57, 15 March 2019 (UTC)

The photograph of Kolhapur in Southport which you or someone else has nominated for deletion was taken by my father and iv had permission to use it, also this was took well before digital cameras were even invented so how do you expect them to be of a quality like what we have got now. The photo of 46100 at night was a decent shot yet that has too been replaced and you have left the LMS crimson photo of her which isnt even a direct shot or a decent quality image. The photo of 48151 was a decent shot but you have removed it from the article so its only now on the WCR page. Iv only got a handful of photographs in articles left now thanks to you and others, just leave a number of mine as the article photo for god sake as you are taking the piss replacing them with photos from someone else which you have then uploaded.

. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Moylesy98, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on LMS Royal Scot Class 6100 Royal Scot; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that 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. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:01, 31 March 2019 (UTC)

Moylesy98, To try to help you here, I'll offer my take on the example shown further up this page, that of LMS Stanier Class 5 4-6-0 4871. You were in an edit war to try to replace the existing photo with your own, complaining of "Deliberate removal of image owing to jealousy." Your assessment is wrong, and let me explain why. Your photo is good, I like it. It's a nicely atmospheric night-time shot, with the backlit smoke/steam adding to the mood. But the purpose of a photo in an encyclopedia is to show readers what the subject looks like, and you really can't get any idea of what that loco actually looks like from your photo. It's a silhouette, in the dark, and provides the reader with almost no visual information about the loco. It's a good photo as a photo, but it's inadequate as an illustration for an encyclopedia.
Let's look at another one, LMS Royal Scot Class 6100 Royal Scot. The current article lead photo is taken in daylight, shows the loco from a reasonable angle, and readers can clearly see what it looks like, together with the tender and a couple of carriages. Your photo is again taken in the dark, and only shows the front of the loco. The reader can't see much of what it actually looks like, and can't make out the tender or carriages at all. Again, it's a nice photo, but a poor illustration.
Photography is my main hobby and I have some of my photos in Wikipedia articles. But they were shots I went out specifically to take as illustrations for Wikipedia articles and not intended to be artistic photos. If you can understand this, and can make an unblock request that shows you understand it and will stop trying to force your photos into articles against consensus, I think we could work towards an unblock.

A block is not the end. As I understand it you can still upload images to commons, and even if I am wrong you can still be taking photos for the future. I have particularly liked your camera work showing work in progress in depots. The greater the detail the more the interest. You might need a tripod for slow shutter speeds. Shots of experts (I almost said un-GNL craftsmen!) at work whether lining paintwork or scraping a bearing would be valuable. You may still well want to photograph the finished locos in action, but that sort of arty work is more common. If you have access to workshops the opportunity should be grasped. Time passes quickly as shown by the usefulness of your Dad's pics. Wikipedia would be the loser without more of your images, if not by some of the edits you have made in the past.

It's a pretty universal requirement for an unblock that you actually address your behaviour that resulted in the block, and convince the community that it won't happen again.

Just to clarify again: What Dave says he was doing was "keeping articles up-to-date". What the evidence says Dave was doing was vainly putting his own photographs into articles regardless of their quality, which, not understanding photography, he was unable to assess the quality thereof. [edit: So he was putting his photographs ahead of better ones]. That's understandable to a degree, but it is not really acceptable. Since there is a difference between what the evidence says and what Dave says, I suggest we follow the evidence. There needs to be a formal admission of this, rather than a sweary edit summary which did admit this before we can move forward. Tony May (talk) 05:36, 8 April 2019 (UTC)

'''Understanding of background issues'''
I am new to learning photography so I don't really know how to use a camera very well, and I'm not very good at assessing image quality. I don't really understand technical terms like "exposure" or "composition" or "shutter speed". I admit I liked to put my own images in articles - I think most people would.

* I understand now that Wikipedia has to use the most illustrative images, regardless of source. Those could be images I've taken, but if there are better ones that illustrate the same point, I understand the that images I've taken should not be used.
'''Apologies'''
* I am sorry for edit warring and for causing drama.
'''Future actions'''
* I know I am not banned from Commons, where I can upload photos of whatever I want, regardless of quality. On Wikipedia, however, I promise I will discuss proposed image changes on the talk page of articles before making those changes.
* I will not edit war if anyone disagrees with me, but discuss on the talk page.

I've had enough of this. I'm pretty sure I may be seeing a WP:HOUND of Moylesy98 by Tony May and think I need to see a minimum of a voluntary two-way no-fault WP:IBAN between Tony May and Moylesy98. I am right up to my neck in WP refunds, drv's AfDs, merges and other discussions at this point in time (see my contribution history) but as far as I remember I did request Tony May to try to avoid interacting with Moylesy98.

@Moylesy98: I can understand you are getting upset and frustrated with the block. Would you like me to try to find a way to try to get you unblocked though you may have to follow a lot of extra rules. It will not be easy at all. You will need to do what I say and not attempt to do anything behind my back. You need to understand that usually I would choose the same image as say Tony May to place in an article so you may find that I reject most of the images you suggest for publication in Wikipedia. There are very many people people taking and publishing photographs of preserved steam locomotives so it is hard to get the best photographs of these and even if you do someone may publish a better one next week. If you agree to this it will difficult (and I do not know exactly how it will work) .... and there will also be big annoying delays waiting for me to answer and most of the time I will not give the answer you are hoping for. But hopefully I can try to keep you out of trouble. Either of us would have the option of stopping this arrangement if it is not working for us at any time. And I may have to give up on it myself if it does not work. Would you like to try this ? You don't have to answer straight away. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 10:38, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
I've seen some of the conversations. We would need to work one photo at a time and maybe at a rate of one a week, if that. Your photo would be compared to others. In most occasions it would likely not be chosen. I would be prepared to help with cropping if that would help, but I would only crop where there is a chance of the picture being chosen. I might also prepare an essay indicating the features of a photo that we are looking for. i will not be saying your photo is crap .... but I may be saying we are preferring another photo because perhaps part of the locomotive is cannot be seen or because the light reflections are bad. Would you like to try to work that way? It will not be easy. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 17:23, 26 April 2019 (UTC)
An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Moylesy98, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

@Moylesy98. I am assuming you are able to read the Sock puppetry notice, understand it, follow the appropriate link and respond in the appropriate manner at the correct link. If you are not able to do this it may be we have exhausted every way of trying to help and we are at WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS of WP:CIR. Given you can manipulate tables and what appears to be your facebook page is done competently with some award winning images you appear to have some competence. Archived sock puppet investigations from the link seem to have concluded someone and been playing disruptive games and good faith has assumed this was not you. However you have a history of disruption, albeit possibly not help by being baited into arguments. It is becoming hard to see why an indefinite ban should not be maintained for a significant while and I would advise someone in your position to wait 6 months and perhaps even a year before appealing. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 16:29, 1 May 2019 (UTC)
{deindent)) @Moylesy98. I sometimes try to be a good samaritan to someone in need, though I may be pretentious in saying that. But so many people are faking their need and I cannot tell who is faking a need and who is genuine. Is the beggar genuine or and they simply getting money for their addiction? Is the charity for adopt-a-sparrow genuine or would it mostly use my donation to give bonuses to the marketeers for responding to their advertising? The pure thinking of my youth has become replaced by the cynicism of my old age to the detriment of people in genuine need (not that I am a good donor). Back here I see you continuing to miss the obvious ... why did you not simply replied to my message at 17:23, 26 April 2019 underneath on your user page ? (Its pretty obvious its likely on my watchlist). In short I cannot tell which of the following groups the person I am attempting to interact with is in:
Whichever it is, and I have little if any way of being certain, it seems increasingly unlikely to me you would be able to work with other people improving this Wiki given your good faith response to this Sockpuppet incident which amounted to essentially blaming in my opinion the wrong person/people. I've been round a load of essays here for advice but the general advice would seem to be (reluctantly) indef ban as last resort. And I am lost for other answers. Perhaps in a year who knows? in the meanwhile Facebook and Flickr will lightly suit better and I wish you every success on those and note what appears to be good work there. Thankyou.

Thanks for your images on this article. It's a really obscure subject, they're useful to have. Andy Dingley (talk) 23:27, 22 May 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
I wish to be able to update articles and I am aware that my block was put in place owing to an incident between myself and another user aswell as the claim that there was no genuine information but not all sites offered posts for this. Links will be provided where they are available and should any major changes need to be made it will be brought up in the talk section.
Decline reason:
It's very clear now that you are either unwilling or unable to craft an unblock request that actually addresses the issues, so I have removed your talkpage access. Yunshui 雲水 15:17, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

Please consider starting to contribute your images to commons again. Particularly useful would be detail, workshop and interior views. Careful captions would help. I think you would be allowed to mention here that you had uploaded them.SovalValtos (talk) 16:38, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. The thread is Tony May and persistent criticism and belittling of other editors on British railways.
If you have any comments, please post them here and I will be happy to copy them across for you, subject to WP:EVADE. Andy Dingley (talk) 12:22, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article LMS_Ivatt_Class_2_2-6-2T_41241 is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/LMS_Ivatt_Class_2_2-6-2T_41241 until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. -- John (Daytona2 · Talk · Contribs) 10:17, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
An article you recently created, BR Standard Class 6 72010 Hengist, does not have enough sources and citations 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). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" 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. noq (talk) 17:10, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
