Speedy deletion nomination of File:Edinburgh Trams - New livery.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Edinburgh Trams - New livery.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Disambiguation link notification for March 7
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Protests regarding the Russo-Georgian war, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Russian (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

refatoring
I hope you don't mind that I slightly refectored your posts, it looked like you were responding to be but it didn't show up that way. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 04:31, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
With a discussion like that, I didn't want to risk errors compounding errors, if other people responded to me or something (I seen that kind of thing before). Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 04:35, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Can you dial the volume down?
Just a friendly note, but have you counted how many postings you've made to the Crimea talkpage these last two days or so? I'm not saying any particular posting among them is disruptive, but if you have a situation where a single editor feels the need to comment and respond to virtually every point anybody else makes in a debate, something is usually not quite right. Could you consider just giving it a break, knowing that you have made your position well understood, and just let other people say what they have to say for a change? Fut.Perf. ☼ 22:42, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- I would do that, except that it is not understood. I'm merely attempting to preserve some semblance of sanity in the middle of the mire we have before ourselves. I believe that I am allowed the prerogative to comment. If I have been disruptive, I apologise. RGloucester — ☎ 22:46, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Another move request regarding Ukraine and Crimea
Hello, you participated in a previous move request regarding Crimea and Ukraine, so I thought you might be interested in this new request that is intended to address objections to the previous one. Cheers.Anythingyouwant (talk) 00:17, 23 March 2014 (UTC)

Template:2014 Crimean crisis infobox
I take your point that my argument falls given that the problems I see would apply just as much to the template it is based on. It is too late to change my vote but if there should again be a vote I would be more hesitant in voting until I better understood the technical issues.Dejvid (talk) 17:59, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
- It's no problem. I understand where you are coming from, and would perhaps appreciate if you could make the issues you've found known on the talk page of the article, so that they can be dealt with. RGloucester — ☎ 18:08, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
Disambiguation link notification for March 24
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Crimean Peninsula, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Offshore and Onshore (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Crimea
You move the Crimea article, but the RM seems to be open, what's going on? Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 19:26, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- I have no idea, really. I asked the admin who moved the articles why he did not close it, but he did not respond. RGloucester — ☎ 19:43, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, wrong talkpage. Somehow I thought this was that admin's talkpage. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 20:08, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
