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).

October 2018

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have recently shown interest in discussions about infoboxes and to edits adding, deleting, collapsing, or removing verifiable information from infoboxes. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect: any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or any page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

SchroCat based on where infoboxes are used elsewhere the description within infoboxes of when and why they are used and for the types of persons. I just can't understand why it's not relevant to have one for Sophie Dahl

Welcome!

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or , and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Looks like nobody ever welcomed you, sorry about that. The beginning can be a bit tough. When you see a little symbol in the upper right corner, you deal with an article of higher quality, which has passed reviews, - please be cautious with changes. Very general rule: when you are reverted, don't revert back. Go to the article talk page, suggest your change, and find consensus, which means enough others who agree. You find any article's talk page by clicking on "Talk" above the article. - Happy editing! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 14:24, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

File permission problem with File:Portrait-shot-of-Jessie-Burton.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Portrait-shot-of-Jessie-Burton.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

• make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
• Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 20:54, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Sophie Dahl

Perhaps it's a coincidence, but on 26 June, you removed this information. It was reverted, but amended. The following day, it was taken out again by an IP address that dates to 2013, but only has nine edits. It was reverted. Today, it was removed again, this time by another IP with only two edits to their name, both to Dahl, the first being in October 2018. Again, it was reverted. Not only that, but the edit was bloody awful. If this is you, stop it. It is becoming disruptive. The information was put out there in the public domain by Dahl herself, via her Instagram page, and distributed by a notable magazine. If you (and others) don't like it, tough. Take it up with the magazine. It satisfies our BLP guidelines and that is all you need to know. Thank you. Cassianto^Talk 22:20, 30 June 2019 (UTC)

Cassianto^Talk Thanks for your message. I looked at the reference and it did not contain the information you'd originally written and even when it was reinstated by someone else, it was changed. If you actually spend some time looking at what I changed, I wrote additional information from the reference stating the fact she lived there with her pets and family etc, but simply moved the section, but as you believe you have the right to police this page you have just blindly reverted it. You are stopping progression of this page and just reverting any improvements to it and acting as a blocker. There is a lot already awful edits on here and incorrect information, which myself and other users have tried to edit. I suggest you stop being stubborn and support with improving the page rather than blindly rejecting anything that has not been thrown up by yourself without proper fact checking. For example, Sophie is not a model anymore, so the opening line of the whole page is outdated and incorrect. She'd best be described as a former model and is now primarily an author, but you've restricted any changes to this.

Firstly, your edits are not an "improvement" and quite frankly, you are deluding yourself if you think that they are. Secondly, I've "spent time" looking at your edits and based on what you've said; "I wrote additional information from the reference stating the fact she lived there with her pets and family etc", this would suggest to me that this is one of yours. Not only is the prose woefully bad, but you may also want to read WP:SOCK. Lastly, you are deleting cited information. Also, where has she said she's a former model? Is that your WP:POV? In fact, where has anyone said she's a former model? Until you can provide a reliable source, it stays. So, in a nutshell, wind your neck in, find a reliable source and abide by the rules like the rest of us. Cassianto^Talk 10:05, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Cassianto^Talk It's not my POV it's fact checked referenced here on the first line . I'm trying make progressive improvements to the page and not be in conflict. I'd rather collaborate and make sure everything is correct and well written rather than just remove and revert any updates. I'm not trying to argue and looking to add in new content and information or fact check content currently on the page all with references. Let's not be combative but actually support in improving the page. I thought I was logged in when I made the edit you referenced, I didn't realise until afterwards, so that was a mistake and as I say, I wasn't intentionally deleting the reference on this occasion, but just moving and adding more detail.

Add what you have to add - with a reliable source - and I will check the prose and delete what needs to be deleted. I don't much care for your assertion that I am restricting this article and "policing it". As you point out, it is a collaboration so leave the pointy comments at the door. Leave the information about Buckinghamshire, I've addressed the cottage stuff as it was too minor a detail to include, and don't add that she lives with her pet tortoise and other animals. As idyllic and lovely as it sounds, it's not in the least bit interesting. Cassianto^Talk 11:34, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Cassianto^Talk Apologies if you thought that, but it was in response to the original message, which seemed quite aggressive and that a lot of edits (not necessarily by me) have seemingly been reverted. But as I said, I only want to help to improve this and would rather do it with the support of someone also wanting to ensure the page is accurate and interesting. So, I hope we can do that moving forward.

I was annoyed that you were edit warring and then socking to try and omit information that is already in the PD and sourced. And your pings are not working, by the way. For that, you need to use this tag {{u|Cassianto}}. Thanks Cassianto^Talk 17:21, 1 July 2019 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for December 14

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Smallest House in Great Britain, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Snug. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 05:59, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
