Class 465 interior
Dear Nightfury, The reason I uploaded a 465 interior is that the current one is outdated, as the interior had been given another refresh in 2017-19. Please do not take any offence in this. -Huhorihe2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Huhorihe2 (talk • contribs) 11:53, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
- Huhorihe2; An image being out of date isn't a good enough reason for replacing the image. Both show the same subject and both are 95% similar. Infact yours show more of the ceiling than it does the interior!Nightfury 10:44, 30 October 2020 (UTC)

Confused.
Hello, S.M.M.Bannister here.
All the way back in June, you sent a message saying that my edit on the Bronze Age was a 'test', and had been removed. What do you mean by test?
Sorry for bothering you, S.M.M.Bannister (talk) 12:33, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- S.M.M.Bannister The message was just a generic template, I could not find anything appropriateto the subject at the time. You deleted content on the page with no explanation as to why, as you did not use the edit summary as highlighted in my second message I sent to you. As it was your first edit I assumed at the time, it would have been assumed as a test edit. Nightfury 18:43, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

New Page Patrol December Newsletter
Hello Nightfury,
- Year in review
It has been a productive year for New Page Patrol as we've roughly cut the size of the New Page Patrol queue in half this year. We have been fortunate to have a lot of great work done by Rosguill who was the reviewer of the most pages and redirects this past year. Thanks and credit go to JTtheOG and Onel5969 who join Rosguill in repeating in the top 10 from last year. Thanks to John B123, Hughesdarren, and Mccapra who all got the NPR permission this year and joined the top 10. Also new to the top ten is DannyS712 bot III, programmed by DannyS712 which has helped to dramatically reduce the number of redirects that have needed human patrolling by patrolling certain types of redirects (e.g. for differences in accents) and by also patrolling editors who are on on the redirect whitelist.

- Reviewer of the Year
John B123 has been named reviewer of the year for 2020. John has held the permission for just over 6 months and in that time has helped cut into the queue by reviewing more than 18,000 articles. His talk page shows his efforts to communicate with users, upholding NPP's goal of nurturing new users and quality over quantity.
- NPP Technical Achievement Award
As a special recognition and thank you DannyS712 has been awarded the first NPP Technical Achievement Award. His work programming the bot has helped us patrol redirects tremendously - more than 60,000 redirects this past year. This has been a large contribution to New Page Patrol and definitely is worthy of recognition.

User:HunsletMid
Do they look WP:NOTHERE? Looks like it to me judging by their their user page, most of their edits and their their Commons image uploads. SK2242 (talk) 11:10, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
- Potentially; yes, I've just marked up another of their images for deletion over on commons. Nightfury 11:15, 3 February 2021 (UTC)
Leave Me In Peace
Stop harrassing me. Ask Nicely if you are changing things in my articles. If You really 'don't give a fuck' or are 'semi retired', why do you repeatedly harrass me????? Leave me alone please, I have had enough. Be lucky that wikipedia doesn't have a 'ban user' function... ...yet Quattro XDRIVE 4MATIC (talk) 16:16, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- Quattro XDRIVE 4MATIC; I suggest you take this information in before you accuse someone of harassment, as said elsewhere Wikipedia has a stringent set of rules on copyright, so you cannot just upload any old image from Google (especially to Wikipedia) and label them as your own. See WP:COPYVIO. Secondly, ideally you should be using WP:COMMONS for images, not directly upload them to the English Wikipedia. Thirdly, I will send you a brief summary on adding citations to your additions to Wikipedia. Most of what you are adding currently we cannot use here as they lack the necessary verifiability and as such can be removed by anyone. Whilst I'm not particularly biting a newcomer, consider attempting to expand your knowledge elsewhere while contributing to railway related articles, by reverting vandalism, as an example. I would suggest you go through the introduction if you want to stay. Nightfury 16:29, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- Quattro can't upload images to Commons because they have been blocked for "Uploading unfree files after warnings". I don't like File:British Rail Class 125 cab.jpg - it seems to be watermarked (capital letters horizontally across the middle), but I can't work out what the watermark is. Watermarks are often indications that the image is copyrighted. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 19:09, 14 January 2021 (UTC)
- Figures... Thanks Redrose64. Nightfury 10:53, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
- The file has now been deleted from Wikipedia, but I still managed to identify the watermark, it is RAILCAR.co.uk and the image concerned is a straight rip of https://railcar.co.uk/images/uploads/125/200/class-125-dmu-1575862832-200.jpg which is displayed at https://railcar.co.uk/type/class-125/works-photographs - clicking the image on that page leads to a larger version. From that same website I have determined that File:British Rail Class 125 awaiting scrapping.jpg, also uploaded by Quattro, is another copyvio. --Redrose64 🌹 (talk) 21:01, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
