Reigate Grammar School

I have closed the report you placed at WP:RFPP. I have to advise you that the IP(s) were editing in good faith, as they backed up their evidence for why the school should be a "Public school" and not an "Independent school" with a source (even if you don't agree with it or think the source is insufficient). You reverted more than four times, so broke the three revert rule, but you have stopped. Be advised that had I seen the report this morning and acted it on it, you would have been blocked for edit warring. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 16:05, 5 April 2018 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Steven (Editor) (talk) 21:48, 14 November 2018 (UTC)

November 2018

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to BT Group, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Zackmann (^{Talk to me}/_{What I been doing}) 22:01, 14 November 2018 (UTC) <copied from talk page of Zackmann08 (talk · contribs) after his removal of it>

You templated and reverted me for ‘unexplained removal’. I did explain in my edit summary that the text I removed was an irrelevance. That’s not unexplained. You may disagree with it, but it’s defini not unexplained. Fob.schools (talk) 09:13, 15 November 2018 (UTC)

List of ports in Northern Ireland moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, List of ports in Northern Ireland, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. According to WP:LISTVERIFY it is not sufficient to rely on citations on linked articles. buidhe 05:33, 6 May 2020 (UTC)

Infobox port

Hi Fob.schools. Thanks for writing. As you say, the parameter "location" is already there, but it refers to the piece of land where the port is when you arrive by land. Many "locations", like Boston, DC, etc. have several rivers, coasts and bodies of water. The parameter "waters" could explain what is the sea, bay, river, lake, estuary or whatever where the port is located when arriving sailing. You are right I did not edit the template documentation. I was going to do so later on. Sorry.--Banderas (talk) 11:02, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

Barge Port in Palatka

In response to your post last month on the WikiProject Florida talk page, I have proposed a name change for the Barge Port (Palatka, Florida) article at Talk:Barge Port (Palatka, Florida)#Requested move 19 September 2020. Please take a look and participate. - Donald Albury 21:18, 19 September 2020 (UTC)

Reigate again.

Following your post on another editor page I took a look at Reigate School| to give you a bit of support. I added a few cn tags, and a comment on Talk:Reigate School. I revised the assessment up- but, as you got here first - I left it there! --ClemRutter (talk) 12:26, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Galataport

Hi — I was creating an article on Galataport, and when I hit publish, it said you had meanwhile created a redir in the same space. Not quite sure why you decided to do that at this precise moment in time — was it triggered by the redlinks I placed in a few articles prior to creating this one? Anyway, just to say that I've replaced your redir with the article. If you disagree, ping me and let's discuss. Cheers, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:56, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

The reason I did it was that it is the same place as the Port of Istanbul, is it not? There is no reason to have separate articles. Fob.schools (talk) 17:23, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Firstly, no — it most certainly is not; it's no more the 'same place' than, say, the St Katharine Docks is the 'same place' as the Port of London.

Secondly, it would be nice if you could tag the article's creator and/or substantial contributors (and I do count myself as the latter) when proposing things like merger or deletion. Incidentally, the same goes for replying to me on your talk page, which I don't find out about unless you ping me. (And I did specifically ask you to ping me, did I not?) Thanks, --DoubleGrazing (talk) 18:11, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Did you? Sorry I missed that. I find pings annoying so generally I dont. But here goes @DoubleGrazing:. It is entirely optional to notify interested parties. My view is that you will see the merge templates anyway, so there is no necessity to do so. Fob.schools (talk) 19:02, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Ye, I did ask you to, because that's the only way I know if/when you've replied (on this page). As for whether you find pings 'annoying' isn't really my problem — that's like saying you find e-mail replies annoying. And no, I do not 'see the merge templates anyway', whatever that means. But thanks all the same for teaching me how WP works. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 19:14, 19 February 2021 (UTC)

Nomination of CBS Westland Row for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article CBS Westland Row 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/CBS Westland Row 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.

Tagging experienced editors

Before tagging by far more experienced editors than you with nonsense of Copyvio Violation templates you should make yourself comfortable with our copyvio Policies entirely! You now marked your own created article as a copyvio violation. I added one phrase which is not copy-pasted at all. CommanderWaterford (talk) 09:48, 12 April 2021 (UTC)

@Fob.schools Please stop spamming my talk page, an administrator will soon have a look at your complain. But I am not sure if you did yourself a favour with this, it is highly questionable if your article provides sufficient notability to have an article on its own, it is better merged into the article for arrecife.

Port of Alcanar moved to draftspace

An article you recently created, Port of Alcanar, is not suitable 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.

Your GA nomination of Synge Street CBS

The article Synge Street CBS you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Synge Street CBS for comments about the article. Well done! If the article has not already appeared on the main page as a "Did you know" item, or as a bold link under "In the News" or in the "On This Day" prose section, you can nominate it within the next seven days to appear in DYK. Bolded names with dates listed at the bottom of the "On This Day" column do not affect DYK eligibility.

Concern regarding Draft:Port of Alcanar

Hello, Fob.schools. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Port of Alcanar, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Drafts that have not been edited for six months may be deleted, so if you wish to retain the page, please edit it again or request that it be moved to your userspace.

If the page has already been deleted, you can request it be undeleted so you can continue working on it.

Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 20:02, 10 October 2021 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:Port of Alcanar

Hello, Fob.schools. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Port of Alcanar".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 20:47, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Copying within Wikipedia

You did not identify the source of the material in your edit. It appears to be Port Kembla, New South Wales. Copying within Wikipedia is acceptable but it must be attributed.

This type of edit does get picked up by Copy Patrol and a good edit summary helps to make sure we don't accidentally revert it. However, for future use, would you note the best practices wording as outlined at Wikipedia:Copying_within_Wikipedia? In particular, linking to the source article and adding the phrase "see that page's history for attribution" helps ensure that proper attribution is preserved.

While best practices are that attribution should be added to the edit summary at the time the edit is made, the linked article on best practices describes the appropriate steps to add attribution after the fact. I hope you will do so.

I've noticed that this guideline is not very well known, even among editors with tens of thousands of edits, so it isn't surprising that I point this out to some veteran editors, but there are some t's that need to be crossed.~~~~ S Philbrick(Talk) 12:15, 4 September 2023 (UTC)
