The two Sacramento-based WFTDA leagues merged, and as they've announced their new name, I went and merged the two articles as Sacramento Roller Derby (I renamed Sac City to this, and merged Sacred City into it). I kept 2006 as the founding year and a league member changed it to 2018, but I decided to revert it with explanation and take it to talk, explaining my reasoning there, if you're interested in commenting. Let me know what you think. Echoedmyron ( talk) 21:39, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Hi! I see that a number of derby articles had their logos removed for copyvios in the past 24 hours, and from looking at edit histories it seems likely that those logos were originally uploaded by you. It doesn't look as though the bot - or editor - who deleted them gave you a notice of any sort. Before I tackled re-uploading them I wondered if you had any inkling as to why someone deleted them? (Figuring that you know what you're doing when you're uploading logos maybe you'd have an idea what happened?) Articles affected seem to be Nidaros Roller Derby, Magnolia Roller Vixens, Gray City Rebels, McLean County MissFits and E-Ville Roller Derby. Echoedmyron ( talk) 14:56, 20 February 2018 (UTC)
An IP editor - who has only ever made 3 edits - is proposing deleting Sonoma County Roller Derby. I note that their 3 edits have only been on this article, and 2 of them have been to propose deleting it. Wondered if you could have a look. National news sources may been thin, but then that is going to be the case for many league articles. Echoedmyron ( talk) 14:26, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Hi Warofdreams i have seen that you are administrator who is in the Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa i have a request if you can review my article Mulenga Kapwepwe from Zambia an award winning play writer.
On 8 March 2018, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Votes for Women (newspaper), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that British suffragettes (pictured) had to stand in the gutter to sell their newspaper Votes for Women, or risk being arrested for obstructing the pavement? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Votes for Women (newspaper). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, Votes for Women (newspaper)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Ha, thanks for correcting the nickname - I copied that infobox from the Bonnie Thunders article as a base, and obviously neglected to update all the fields. Nice catch. Echoedmyron ( talk) 13:41, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Hello fellow bureaucrats, in regards to a current RfA that has met its time, I would like your assistance in judging the community consensus presented in the discussion at Jbhunley's RfA.

Thanks for uploading File:Association of Engineering and Shipbuilding Draughtsmen logo.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. 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).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 17:05, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Hi! I had uploaded the logo for the 2011 Roller Derby World Cup way back when; it got tagged as failing non-free use rationale, and I wondered if you could have a look. When I uploaded it 7 (!) years ago, I filled out the available parameters at the time, and can't tell if it's just that templates have changed or if it is really missing something. Going to WP:FUR as the bot notice instructs seems to want me to add a new template that would replicate much of what is already in there, which is part of what is confusing me. I mean, I'm also jetlagged from having flown home from Spain yesterday, so maybe it's just me... Echoedmyron ( talk) 15:29, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
Hi Warofdreams. First of all, congartulations on your staying power! 15 years! Impressive. Anyway, going back 13 years, it is most likely that you might no longer remember what you did back then. I see that you created Gabu. If you do remember, do you have any idea how you arrived at the spelling of Gabu with the accent on the u?

Hi, I'm RonBot, a script that checks new non-free file uploads. I have found that the subject image that you recently uploaded was more than 5% in excess of the Non-free content guideline size of 100,000 pixels. I have tagged the image for a standard reduction, which (for jpg/gif/png/svg files) normally happens within a day. Please check the reduced image, and make sure that the image is not excessively corrupted. Other files will be added to Category:Wikipedia non-free file size reduction requests for manual processing. There is a full seven-day period before the original oversized image will be hidden; during that time you might want to consider editing the original image yourself (perhaps an initial crop to allow a smaller reduction or none at all). A formula for calculation the desired size can be found at WP:Image resolution, along with instructions on how to tag the image in the rare cases that it requires an oversized image (typically about 0.2% of non-free uploads are tagged as necessarily oversized). Please contact the bot owner if you have any questions, or you can ask them at Wikipedia talk:Non-free content. RonBot ( talk) 17:20, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
The article Joseph Cunningham (politician) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
No references; written in first person; no notability demonstrated
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your
edit summary or on
the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the
proposed deletion process, but other
deletion processes exist. In particular, the
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Hi! A headsup: someone just cut a huge swath of material from Gotham Girls Roller Derby; a lot of it was overly detailed and could certainly go, but the editor removed a bunch of sources and/or replaced the citations with notes that circled you back to the article without letting you access the source. (not sure what they were attempting with that part.) I've restored the citations, and in some cases restored some sourced material that I felt was significant. Of course, since I had to go into the previous version to grab sources, I at one point inadvertently restored too much and had to revert myself. Ugh. All to say, if you have a chance have a look and see if I missed anything, and if there's further cutting/restoration you thought would be necessary. For a league with their significance, I had been loath to cut too much myself, but here we are. I suspect the editor may be a league member, giving their WP name, but I could be wrong.

Hi Warofdreams, I have recently discovered a page about Joseph Compton, Labour Party MP for Manchester Gorton, who just so happens to be a distant relative of mine. It turns out that the image that was uploaded of him was uploaded by yourself. I was wondering if you had access to a better quality version of the image or if you had any ideas of where to find it. Any help would be great thank you. TimeForTaylor ( talk) 18:07, 31 December 2018 (UTC)
