There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --Vauxford (talk) 02:26, 26 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You and Letdorf are the top to editors to this article, which has volumes of text and has virtually no references for that text. Can you please cleanup the article by adding references or deleting text that can't be referenced? --David Tornheim (talk) 22:38, 28 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah sure mate. However I do not have good writing skills, but I can dedicate it to this. I am here only on a semi-basis, I have a website now, so I am going to dedicate my time to this --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 00:16, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not so much worried about the writing skills. The big problem is that so much of the material has no sources. It looks a bit like advertising for Audi. --David Tornheim (talk) 00:43, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Ok sure, do you have any particular sections you want me to focus on, or rewrite it all. I'll get my dad to help out, because my skills of paraphrasing is crap --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 00:44, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I would just start from the top. Thanks. Try to make sure every single fact mentioned in the article goes to a reliable source. Keep in mind that we typically use WP:SECONDARY sources that are independent of the subject. Please point your dad to that. Thanks again. --David Tornheim (talk) 00:46, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nim, Please don't post comments such as this - Adding Vauxfords images under a "images to avoid" is bad enough but then to call his images crap is out of line,
You're both photographers but Nim you need to remember you don't own any article here and any editor is free to replace your image whenever and wherever they please,
I appreciate a good chunk of articles contains Vauxfords images but me being me I always strive to have a variety of peoples images not just one editors .... however there aren't that many good images around and Vauxford seems to take the best ones so far (although not all are great and on a few articles I've replaced his images and no I would say all this if he was any nationality)
When it comes down to I'd prefer to have one editors good images instead of different editors images where some are excellent and some are extremely poor!),
You've already gone to every Wikimedia project on the planet and replaced every image with your images (something I have a major major issue with) so it may be worthwhile taking a step back from EN for a bit to just chill and maybe concentrate on those projects (apart from Simple and Commons),
As I said take a step back for a while, Enjoy the festive period and come back when you're more relaxed :),
Thanks and take care, –Davey2010 ^{Merry Christmas / Happy New Year} 03:08, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Its funny Davey. The problem is that Vauxford appears to be replacing tons and tons of images with his own. I've always strived to use WP:CARPIX. The problem is sometimes Vauxford has extremely vague edit summaries which I don't completely understand. Also I'm a WP:WIKIHOLIC so its gonna be hard to step back. If I were to be blocked here, then suddenly I could go out of control. If Australian photographers such as Stepho-wrs & OSX were able to help and stand up and take my place, then I'd gladly leave but because neither of these two are just static and unable to possess a camera, then I have to step up. I'm slowly getting busier and busier and haven't got the time to do it anymore. I want to retire, but suddenly it appears no one wants to take over. Please, Stepho-wrs, just take pictures of the Australian cars for me, I'm getting tired and tired and unable to do this anymore. I don't know how many people get upset, when in fact I'm the one who gets stressed. In fact, I was going to get Stepho-wrs to do them for me. I want to work on my website and then with that I can leave Wikipedia peacefully. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:17, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nim, This isn't about Australia Vs the World, It's simply about providing the best car images regardless of what country they were taken from,

If you don't want to be blocked then stop edit warring and stop making the silly comments,

Stepho-wrs isn't your lapdog Nim, He has a life as does everyone else and he has different hobbies like everyone else,

Please remember we're the English Encyclopedia which means we're home to the US, the UK, (England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Northern Ireland), Australia, New Zealand etc etc etc .... we're not plainly an Aussie website,

As I said if it's getting a bit much then take a break :), Thanks, –Davey2010 ^{Merry Christmas / Happy New Year} 03:28, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Vauxford's car list he gave me is too much for me. Any chance of me not swearing is good, because I cannot seem to find the time to relax. Even with preferences enabling my chances of leaving Wikipedia are completely slim. My images are awful yes, but theres chances I cannot help myself. I haven't edit warred in a while, and I know thats against WP policies. Edit warring means 3RR, and thats against guidelines. It'd be much easier if I'd left, but its too hard to do so. I've also noted you use swear words, which is completely beyond unacceptable, and its getting to the point where I cannot edit in peace. When I began in 2014, yes, I did have a really dumb camera, but as I progressed along, OSX complemented me over the years, yet I've been thinking why do I need to edit, if hes here. How can someone get 'blocked' for making silly comments? I don't understand. Should I just discontinue editing, and just photograph cars for fun and keep them to myself? I keep retiring and retiring, however its not effective as I need to contribute my non-UK shots. However no one else appears to be doing so for the Australian section. See WP:3RR and thats what edit warring is to me. --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 03:45, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Forgive me for intervening and including you in it Dave, but "I haven't edit warred in a while" isn't exactly true You done much more then 3 reverts on these. From the way you are speaking this sound like a form of obsession rather then a hobby which can bring distress rather then enjoyment to one person. --Vauxford (talk) 04:11, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I haven't read all this, but I see what's going on above. As far as I am concerned, we put the best pictures in Wikipedia based on what the WP:CONSENSUS says is the best picture. No, this is not correct: any editor is free to replace your image whenever and wherever they please. We work on WP:CONSENSUS. If the consensus says keep the current image and do not replace it, then the current image stays. WP:BOLD edits are fine, but if they are violating consensus, they will be reverted. If there is disagreement on what picture is best, we have to find consensus. If no new consensus is found, the old picture stays.

So, please do not talk about who is the better photographer and try to let some people have more or fewer images than others. We should always use the best image. If you want to learn to take better pictures, I am all for that too. If you want my opinion on some pics, I am fine to give it, but not too many, please. You can go to dispute resolution for 3rd opinions or even launch and WP:RfC if necessary... --David Tornheim (talk) 04:25, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alright thankyou David. OSX also advised me on July 7 2016 "...Be very careful about adding personal photos when quality is lower than other images." From there, I have been using my DSLR for 90% of my photos. I could maybe improve my 2019 shots. Sure, can I email you them? --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 04:27, 30 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
