Deletion review at Princess Princep Shah of Nepal
[edit]Hi, I'd like to work on Princess Princep Shah of Nepal as I understand it (I could be wrong, this is a first) I need to ask for deleteion review to re-open it and I need to notify you because you closed it. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Princep Shah of Nepal Of course the close was sensible, no arguments to keep came forward, but I think she passes WP:ANYBIO so I think I need to do the deletion review. None of this is a criticism of you, you did the obvious close. So I hope this is not a pain.

[edit]{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}
. El_C 02:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)Look, Davey, you've lost your shit like a million times and been warned about that also like a million times. And while I recognize that you've been doing it less lately, which is good, and that, crucially, your attacks are rarely if ever truly egregious or mean-spirited — even still, telling us that this is just the way you are, is not good enough. Telling us to expect more attacks in the future, even if at a low frequency, that is likewise not good enough. I mean, I appreciate the honesty, but the concern is twofold: 1. Driving users away, maybe not from the project itself, but from various pages. Users may not want to challenge or correct you, even when it's due, simply for not wishing to deal with you potentially going off on them. 2. Related to that is the seeming random nature of the outbursts. It's one thing for these to happen as a consequence of getting worn down by a longstanding, intractable dispute. But it's wholly another for it to seemingly come out of nowhere, over changes that seem relatively unimportant (i.e. the capricious and unpredictable nature of the attacks makes them, or their specter, worse).
Briefly on the specific dispute: neither one of you have consensus, which is now something to be determined. That you didn't notice the change for nearly 2 years, that's on you. Your opponent enjoyed WP:SILENTCONSENSUS throughout much of that time, until you objected, at which point it evaporated. In that sense, neither one of you has an edge over the other wrt consensus. Though I do note that your opponent was edit warring over an image that they, themselves, had uploaded — which can be a red flag, but I don't view as an immediate problem in this instance.
Anyway, obviously I didn't indef you, but I do feel that there needs to be some consequence. Which includes having a record of the misconduct in the block log. I suppose you could argue that's it's a punitive block, but from my perspective, warning you yet again would be giving you tacit license to attack folks with impunity (and again, somewhat randomly/unpredictably). Which is just too WP:UNBLOCKABLE for me. The negative atmosphere it cultivates, by potentially pushing users away from challenging you in the course of normal collaboration — that kind of chilling effect is a problem. It's a problem when folks know there'll be no consequences for you when you attack them, save perhaps yet another warning. So, I'm sorry (truly), but no more warnings. Now it's this. El_C 02:46, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @El C, That's fair enough, I'll be honest for whatever reason (and as explained on ockstone35s talkpage) I did forget about the whole silent consensus thing, Had I remembered about it I would've stopped edit warring much much sooner but still at the end of the day had I not edit warred I still would've been blocked anyway,
- I also feel I should mention that I've never once believed I was unblockable never - But at the end of the day I was uncivil and I was fairly blocked for it.
- Anyway could I be a pain and ask that the block be changed to Personal attacks and edit warring please? Harassment implies I've followed someone around or kept bugging someone constantly when I haven't, Thanks and thank you for your detailed explanation, Have a great day, Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 11:49, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hey. Thanks man. Briefly, that's just the default drop-down menu option. So, if we look at your own block log, for example, we can see:
18:32, 6 May 2020 Ivanvector talk contribs block blocked Davey2010 talk contribs with an expiration time of 24 hours (account creation blocked) (Personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy) (unblock change block)
10:46, 21 July 2018 Nick talk contribs block blocked Davey2010 talk contribs with an expiration time of 24 hours (account creation blocked) (Personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy) (unblock change block)
- Hope that clears things up. Thanks again. Cheers! El_C 13:58, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- Hey @El C, I swear it never used to say that otherwise I would've had a problem with that 4 years ago lol, Not really happy with it but guess I can query it once I'm unblocked, Anyway thanks for clearing that up and thanks for your help, Take care and have a great day, Thanks, –Davey2010Talk 17:20, 20 August 2022 (UTC)
- No worries. Personally, I'd emphasize on it being phrased as
Personal attacks or violations of the harassment policy
, as opposed toPersonal attacks and violations of the harassment policy
, if that makes sense. Thanks, hope you have a good weekend. P.S. I'm looking for my cat, Juno, let me know if you see her anywhere. El_C 17:53, 20 August 2022 (UTC)- @El C, Ah true yep that makes sense mate, In my little head I sort of see it as if someone randomly stumbles on my name, views my contribs and then sees my block (or checks out my block log) - they're going to assume I've either been blocked for personal attacks or harassment .... I dunno maybe I'm caring too much, I guess I just dont want it to appear that I've been blocked for harassment when that's not the case, Anyway that's a discussion for 3-4 days lol,
- I'll leave you in peace and harmony now lol, Thanks will do and you have a great weekend too El_C, Haha that did make me laugh :), Take care, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 18:27, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Removal of file deletion tag
[edit]Regarding this exchange, Marchjuly is correct. As the uploader, you cannot remove the deletion tag. You may dispute it, and you may post on the tagger's talk page as you did, but you should not remove it. It even has that in big bold letters. -- Whpq (talk) 04:03, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
- Hi Whpq, In all fairness I never read anything after "These vehicles are still in use. No proper explanation as to why this image is not replaceable" but once you replied depending on what you were going to say I was either going to FFD them or CSD them - Given your reply on your talkpage my next action would've been to CSD them as you know a lot more about images and NFCC then I ever could,
- Obviously there's means and ways of doing things but the "keeping" of those images was never going to be a permanent thing - As I said I didn't want the images deleted before you replied which was the only reason I was insistent of the tags being kept off the files but as I said once you replied I would've then done something about them, I appreciate neither you or MJ would'e known that and I should've also stated that on your talkpage and in the editsum instead of immediately becoming so defensive,
- Anyway I apologise for the unintentional disruption that I caused, Thanks again for your help it's always greatly appreciated, Many Thanks, Warm Regards, –Davey2010Talk 12:51, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
