This article you created way back in 2009 was just tagged for speedy deletion. I've declined the speedy and cleaned it up a bit; it seems the article had deteriorated quite a bit since you first worked on it. Ritchie333 ^{(talk) (cont)} 20:08, 27 February 2020 (UTC)

Crikey, that was a long time ago! Thanks for seeing to it—I've put it (back) on my watchlist to keep an eye on the article. Tagged it as a stub and it might get picked up in WP:TGBID! MIDI (talk) 09:08, 28 February 2020 (UTC)

The article Bahadale has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Couldn't find anything about the place, as it has no significant coverage. Can't redirect either because it's location doesn't even have an article.

No probs, thanks for upholding WP:NPOV with your edits! I suspect the article will be moved again at some point soon—I'm not suggesting what would be a better title—but first prioritizing neutrality then brevity seems the logical thing to do... MIDI (talk) 12:24, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

In File:Roses and Castles tray croptrans.png, how old is the tray? --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 13:29, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I can find out precisely (or roughly) but it's maybe 10 years? MIDI (talk) 13:35, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I am afraid that means the image is still under copyright by the artist who painted it. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 14:19, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

Despite them releasing it under CCBYSA? MIDI (talk) 14:20, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

That should also be documented on File:Roses and Castles tray.jpg as well since it is not de minimis. I recommend using OTRS to document the permission permanently for the future, in case someone challenges the permission. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 14:26, 14 July 2020 (UTC)

I notice your addition of Template:Kennet and Avon Canal has resulted rendering of WP:UNDUE weight in the article of John Rennie the Elder in my opinion. And it is not the only article where you have added this visually obtrusive template. Please resolve. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:09, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

If your objection is "visually obtrusive", the template can be collapsed. If your objection is undue weight relative to Rennie's other works, feel free to remove it. MIDI (talk) 19:12, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

I've removed it as it seems to put undue emphasis on one aspect of Rennie's work. I suggest you ensure it's collapsed mostly everywhere else you've applied it. Thankyou. Djm-leighpark (talk) 19:18, 24 September 2020 (UTC)

Happy Adminship Anniversary!
