== Happy New Year, Richard Harvey! ==
I've rangeblocked 43.245.8.0/24, which is 256 users, for six months based on your AIV evidence and the SPI investigations. There is one IP in the Peshawar history that's an outlier, and he remains unblocked only because I want to narrow down the range from which he edits. The collateral damage would have been too much if I had included it in this particular block, so if/when disruption begins from there, let me know and I'll look at it. Hope this helps.

==Please claim your upload(s): [[:File:Yorkshire Regiment Tactical Recognition Flash.jpg]] ==
==M62 motorway==

Hi. I'm prompted to contact you after your recent revert edit on [[M62 motorway]]. A GAN has started on that article, and I note you have an interest in that article, having [https://tools.wmflabs.org/sigma/usersearch.py?name=Richard+Harvey&page=M62_motorway&server=enwiki&max= made 23 edits over the past 6 years]. Even though I note your role is more of a protector than of a content provider, you seem to have some knowledge of the topic that would be useful. Would you be interested in helping bring the article to GA standard and getting it listed? It would mean reading the comments I make, and entering into a discussion on any suggestions or edits I make that you disagree with. I am open and collegiate, and see the GAN progress as collaborative because much of the GA criteria is open to interpretation. As long as discussion is taking place, and progress is being made I tend to keep a GAN open as I would prefer to see an article listed than failed. I will, however, close any GAN that is either not making sufficient progress, or is being subject to reverts.

Hi,
:Hi, I have kept a bit of an eye on it since helping to get it to a FA status a few years back. Please note that I reverted your image changes as viewing them on an iPad or phone was rather difficult. I have just done some editing on there and removed some outdated and unreferenced trivia. Plus expanded some of the smart motorway detail. [[User:Richard Harvey|Richard Harvey]] ([[User talk:Richard Harvey#top|talk]]) 00:51, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
Thank you, for uploading this file.
::Cool. Curious, I didn't see you had helped it to FA. The first edit I note of yours in the history is 2009, and the article became FA in 2007. Did you edit under a different name back then, or is there a glitch in the software we need to know about? '''[[User:SilkTork|<span style="color:purple; font-family: Segoe Script">SilkTork</span>]]''' '''[[User talk:SilkTork|<font color="#347C2C"><sup>✔Tea time</sup></font>]]''' 07:22, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

:::Oops; yes your right. At that time I was involved in creating a history book (doing the photos) about the construction for a private publisher. I got across with my editing on the [[Battle of Musa Qala]] article, which became a FA. My age is showing and my brain failing. :(. [[User:Richard Harvey|Richard Harvey]] ([[User talk:Richard Harvey#top|talk]]) 16:12, 20 December 2015 (UTC)
However, as part of ongoing efforts to ensure all media on English Wikipedia is correctly licensed and attributed it would be appreciated if you were able to confirm some details,
Just to let you know that I have closed the GAN as not listed as I feel the situation there is problematic for several reasons, including that the article itself is not ready.

If it's your own work, please include {{tl|own}}, amend the {{tl|information}} added by a third party, and change the license to an appropriate "self" variant. You can also add <code><nowiki>|claimed=yes</nowiki></code> to the {{tl|media by uploader}} or {{tl|presumed_self}} tag if it is present to indicate that you've acknowledged the image, and license shown (and updated the {{tl|information}} where appropriate).

If it's not your own work please provide as much sourcing/authorship information as you are able to.

It would also be appreciated if you could "claim" or update the source and licensing on other media you uploaded, You can find a list of files you have created [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=Richard_Harvey}} in your upload log].

==Concerned over new Wikipedia editors==

Hello, you left a comment on my page a while ago [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Xtremedood&oldid=654171534#Battle_articles_being_wrongly_edited], in regards to the strange edits on Mughal-Sikh battles by some users. I have noticed a recent upsurge in similar such edits, with users with new accounts most notably user:Why do people not understand [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Why_do_people_not_understand], who creates new articles that are entirely unsourced, such as [[Gurkha-Sikh War]], [[Punjab War]] (the creator of this article was a confirmed sockpuppet), [[Mughal-Sikh Wars]] (no source, but I added some and he keeps on reverting it, which was initially created by a user with similar edits named User:Gurbar Akaal), and [[Anti-Sikh jihad]] which was deleted [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Anti-Sikh_jihad&year=&month=-1&tagfilter=&subtype=] after I requested a speedy delete for blatant hoax.
