A belated welcome!

Here's wishing you a belated welcome to Misplaced Pages, CatCafe. I see that you've already been around a while and wanted to thank you for your contributions. Though you seem to have been successful in finding your way around, you may benefit from following some of the links below, which help editors get the most out of Misplaced Pages:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Contributing to Misplaced Pages
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article

Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, consult Misplaced Pages:Questions, or place {{help me}} on your talk page and ask your question there.

Again, welcome! – Aranya (talk) 05:30, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

File:Sabontu Belle Gibson 2020.png

Hi! I've deleted this file. You wrote "- It is cc-by-sa-4.0 as: - Author has marked it as "Licence Creative Commons Attribution licence (reuse allowed)" at source https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VDD2x9xvscw 2 - Additionally it is also 'fair use' ...", but neither of those statements is correct. As you can see in the Ethiopian video, it uses clips of Australian footage; the image was taken from here (identifiable in the Ethiopian vid), and that page is clearly marked "© 2020 ABC". There's no possibility of fair use for portraits of living people because they automatically fail WP:NFCCP#1: "No free equivalent. Non-free content is used only where no free equivalent is available, or could be created, that would serve the same encyclopedic purpose" – there's nothing to stop somebody going and taking a new, free photo of someone who's still alive. Sorry for the long explanation, (talk) 22:58, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

No, I appreciate the detailed explanation Justlettersandnumbers. Much better than a delete and no-explain. Gives me something to ponder and troubleshoot next time I'm seeking an image. Thanks CatCafe (talk) 23:04, 25 January 2020 (UTC)

Copyright

Hi CatCafe! Sorry to do this to you, but we have two problems with the clipping. The first is that Trove does not override the copyright held by the owners of content in their collections - under their terms of use, they expect us as re-users to confirm that we have permission to reuse content. The second is that Misplaced Pages can only accept some CC licenses, and cannot accept CC-by-NC: Misplaced Pages can only accept images which are allowed for commercial reuse. - Bilby (talk) 09:13, 29 January 2020 (UTC)

Bilby Please stop stalking other editors on and off wp. You have been warned about this before. Previously I specifically asked you not to communicate with me as a courtesy (as some find your editing and tracking behaviour threatening) and I am disapointed you have ignored that. I am also additionally concerned of your on wp actions which endeavour to out other editors as per your post on Talk:Thomas John Flanagan page and I request that you desist and do not engage further.

List of unproven methods against COVID-19

Re "I think we're all quite aware that page content is based on bullsh!t", , you're quite right. WP:MEDRS says we actually need medrs citations to say that the treatments are ineffective, unproven, etc., and the template is flagging the need for such citations, though I can see why the template might be misinterpreted. Such citing is suprisingly doable, as assorted public health authorities have been putting out an endless stream of warnings against unproven treatments. On a technical note, the {{More medical citations needed}} tag flags the whole article as needing more MEDRS cites throughout, while {{medrs}} is an inline tag for tagging the need for a citation at a particular place, for a particular fact.

Thank you very much for paying attention to this page, it really needs it. It is not even faintly keeping up with the rumourmill. HLHJ (talk) 20:06, 25 April 2020 (UTC)

Looking for some support

Hi, Greetings,I was looking for some support in following areas.

• Please do have a look at upcoming articles Draft:Ex-Muslims along with Draft talk:Ex-Muslims and also Superstitions in Muslim societies.

If any of above topics interest you, then pl. do contribute towards expansion of the same. Specially looking for Yasmine Mohammed point of views with refs available, if any. Thanks and warm regards Bookku (talk) 11:25, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Yes cheers, will have a look when time permits. Also noted you pinged user:Alhill42 , that's good, as she knows more about Yasmine Mohammed than I do. Thanks for your message. CatCafe (talk) 11:47, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Lot of thanks, would be keenly waiting for your support to the article. Warm regards. Bookku (talk) 12:27, 19 August 2020 (UTC)

Hey, Bookku I 'was' happy to help you with the article but I got reprimanded twice for various things on the page, including suggesting others were being disruptive there. Didn't realise that calling one out for being disruptive was as insulting as using four-letter-words, that's a learning experience for me. Anyway any edits I do make there will be minor such as tweaking reference formats etc, avoiding content edits. All the best, CatCafe (talk) 01:16, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Hi CatCafe, thanks for going back over the page. See you reverted some of the text re Restaurateur/chef and I don't have a problem with that but I just want to point out that the first and second references don't exist. The 5th reference doesn't mention him. So I was going to remove the unsourced text but first wanted to run it by you. Also, lovely to meet you! MaskedSinger (talk) 14:24, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

MaskedSinger Yes sure, cheers. I retrieved the archive of the 2nd one, removed the 5th and the text relating to the 5th. With regards to the first, I trust it exists and was in the inflight magazine, but not on the web. CatCafe (talk) 14:31, 27 August 2020 (UTC)

Ok great. Glad I first ran it by you! MaskedSinger (talk) 14:37, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
