Speedy deletion nomination of File talk:Scotland Administrative Map 1947.png
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on File talk:Scotland Administrative Map 1947.png, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you copied or moved text from one or more pages into another page. 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., copied content from [[page name]]; see that page's history for attribution
. 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. The attribution has been provided for this situation, but if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, please provide attribution for that duplication. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. Thank you. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 08:55, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Thank you, will make sure to note when copying in future. Eastwood Park and strabane (talk) 09:09, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Blanking Millhall
[edit]Hey you appear to be blanking large sections of Millhall, Can you please explain this? All hail Armok (talk) 08:56, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
Hope I'm responding in the right place. I just created this article, and copied the article Clarkston, East Renfrewshire across and amended the data. (link for future reference:Millhall) Eastwood Park and strabane (talk) 09:08, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
- Ah i see, Thanks for telling me! But I recommend you fill out an edit summary for major edits, this includes deleting text, I too am a newbie and found this: Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure very useful for starting out. Oh! almost forgot Wikipedia:Teahouse. All hail Armok (talk) 09:05, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
East Renfrewshire constituency
[edit]Hi,
I notice you've changed the page name for the constituency covering the East Renfrewshire council area from East Renfrewshire (UK Parliament constituency) to Renfrewshire East (UK Parliament constituency), alleging that this is the correct name. However, if you look on the East Renfrewshire council, Scottish Boundary Commission and UK Parliament website, all list it as East Renfrewshire. The constituency was also created in 2005, and so it seems unlikely that it's been wrongly named all this time and no one has noticed.
https://www.bcomm-scotland.independent.gov.uk/5th-review-constituency-maps https://www.eastrenfrewshire.gov.uk/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=25674&p=0 https://members.parliament.uk/constituency/994/overview
Whilst the BBC News website, and maybe others, are listing it as Renfrewshire East on their results page, that isn't the official constituency name. They appear to be moving the north, south, east, west descriptions to the end of all their constituencies to make it easier for users to find their constituency, but these don't correspond to their legal names for many constituencies. The above sources are from organisations which will be required to use the legal names.
If I don't hear a response from you shortly, I will revert the name change.

I have corrected the article. Sorry for my error. Eastwood Park and strabane (talk) 20:40, 13 December 2019 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I also go confused when trying to navigate the BBC results page as they changed all the constituency names. I would've changed it back, but I wanted to avoid an edit war on reverting page names. All the best. MoreofaGlorifiedPond,Really... (talk) 20:44, 13 December 2019 (UTC)

[edit]Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give a page a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into A735 road. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

- Eastwood Park and strabane, if you have read the notice above, it gave you instructions on how to fix the issue correctly by requesting a history merge. I've requested administrative assistance to delete the extra page and move the one back to where it was so they can be properly merged.
- In the future, if you do not know what you're doing with page moves, don't do anything and as for help. Things can get very messy very quickly. Imzadi 1979 → 03:17, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
- It appears the problem may have been solved in the last few hours by an admin/ someone else. Please let me know if there's anything else I should do. Eastwood Park and strabane (talk) 12:28, 14 August 2022 (UTC)
Hi. I mean this in the nicest possible way, but Wikipedia is a general purpose encyclopaedia, which means that the information needs to come from general purpose sources to ensure we're documenting things in a neutral and uninformed manner. In particular, people like Swampy and groups like Extinction Rebellion and Insulate Britain have meant that you're far more likely to find sources documenting protests about roads than anything else, and that needs to be documented in the relevant articles. Consequently, A303 road talks about the seemingly never-ending plans to stick a tunnel through the middle of the Stonehenge World Heritage Site, while M25 motorway mentions the environmental protests that accompanied its construction, and the continual problems with congestion and traffic management that have accompanied it ever since, with a side order of it being the epitome of Margaret Thatcher's attitude to transport in the 1980s. A simple account of "the road goes to 'x', then to 'y', then to 'z'" is just reproducing a map in a worse form - after all, "a picture is worth a thousand words". The political, historical and environmental impacts are, in my experience, what makes up the "meat" of a good highways article that you can't get from anything else.

Edit-warring
[edit]Please do not edit-war, like you've done at Opinion polling for the next United Kingdom general election. You have falsely labeled the IP's edits as vandalism. Even if the pollster is not particularly credible, that does not mean their edits are in bad-faith. 13 reverts is absolutely unacceptable. Elli (talk | contribs) 13:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)
- You're absolutely right and I need to read up on the rules around 3RR. For some reason I had misremembered that if the other user broke 3rr first (in this case on another user) it was standard practice to return to consensus until administrators got involved. My bad.
