Orphaned non-free image File:Hertz Arena Logo.png

[edit]
⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Hertz Arena Logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 02:09, 20 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ebola in Spain

[edit]

Hello,

You recently declined my request for the speedy deletion of the page Ebola in Spain. The main reason I proposed moving the page is that the new name would be more concise and precise. Perhaps you can understand that a shorter name isn't necessarily less precise. Otherwise, we might rename anything related to "COVID-19" as "Coronavirus Disease 2019". While this would follow the logic of precision through elaborateness, I'm not sure it would be an improvement. I would appreciate your thoughts on this.

Kind regards –Tobias (talk) 18:32, 25 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Leaving the redirect is beneficial in that whatever linked to that article would be automatically redirected to the more precise page. I'm looking at the original page now and it seems the article has 3 pages linked to it. I think you can redo the speedy deletion but if an admin rejects it, you might have to open an discussion on Redirects for discussion (RfD) which usually has a turnaround time of a week. – The Grid (talk) 18:10, 26 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    I need to talk something out with you.

    [edit]

    I've recently been editing info for Music Sounds Better with You, adding background information on the gay scenes in which the genre developed, and the musician's context of them in making the song. I've also been adding info that falls under moderate and informational. I wholly expect my edits to be copy edited on that page for flow, clarity, and GA status. The article also had factual inaccuracies that I had fixed, until they were unrighteously reverted.

    Make no mistake: a Good Article can and should be developed further after assessment. I have developed it with non-contentious, factual, supplementary information that falls under policy for inclusion. Another editor, simply based off of their dislike for the need of it to be perfect without any basic work, has been reverting my, and two other editors' worth of changes without justification. The info I add does not fall under policy for removal. I need you to realize this so Wikipedia editing can be done properly, and I ask you to please revert your reversion of my reversion on that page. I will not do something technically considered edit-warring on behalf of anyone's misguided ideas.

    Do have a good one, @The Grid. I thank you for your tireless contributions across Wikipedia. This matter of simple copyediting does not constitute what is currently occurring on Music Sounds Better with You. I urge you to take proper action. BarntToust (talk) 13:51, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

    Hey, it looks like further discussion is on the talk page but I'll stand back so that discussion can pursue versus feeling trapped. Thanks for your edits to the article regardless of how this turns out. I know the feeling of stepping of toes very well on here. Just don't get too caught up and any criticisms presented isn't bulverism. – The Grid (talk) 16:25, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
