Tiger Muskie - Issue of Image Copyright?
Hello, Arbitrarily0! I recently edited a page on Tiger Muskellunge (a species of fish) because the image in the taxonomy section was of the wrong variety of muskie. The image I replaced it with is found in the same exact book on the same exact page (Fish of Michigan Field Guide by Dave Bosanko, page 88). Even though both images are from the same source, I am not completely sure if I correctly followed copyright procedure. I'd like your opinion on this, but I am fairly certain this maneuver was fine due to the fact that multiple images from this book are circulating the Commons. Thanks!

- Hi Benito! This is a good question! Your reasoning is great, but there is something strange: if both of those images come from that book, probably this website does not own that image either. If the book publisher owns those images, sadly we probably cannot use either one. I gave a look around different tiger muskie drawings online - I do not see any which are freely available. Perhaps the best route is to replace this drawing with a real-world picture. What do you think? Feel free to consider any pictures you yourself have taken. In general, let me know if you need a hand uploading your own shots! Arbitrarily0 (talk) 03:45, 1 January 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks for the feedback - I will remove the existing drawing and see if i can find a decent real tiger muskellunge for the box, as that is the best option readily available. And thanks for the help offer, but as long as I follow copyright rules, I think I'll be in the clear! Thanks again! Benito 21:58, 2 January 2016 (UTC)

Broken page links and faulty redirect
When I go to Zakarid Armenia I reach the correct article, and if I click on its talk page tab I get to it correctly, but when I click back to the article I instead am redirected to Zakarids-Mkhargrzeli, which in turn has its own talk page. I do not know how to fix this. Can you fix it, since you might have been inadvertently responsible for creating it (you made a redirect back in 2011). Each article has different content and I think each needs to exist (one deals with the territory and its history, the other deals with the history and origin of the dynasty that ruled that territory).

- My, that was quite confusing. Should be all set now, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 19:58, 4 January 2016 (UTC)
WP:CELTS tagging request
Hi, I'd like to request WikiProject tagging from Arbitrarily0Bot for WP:CELTS. All articles in Category:Celts and its subcategories (to infinite depth) should be tagged. Thanks.--Newbiepedian (Hailing Frequencies) 14:39, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
- Scratch that, just realised that category is organised in a problematic way. I'll get back to you with a list :) --Newbiepedian (talk · contribs · X! · logs) 12:20, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
- Greetings my friend! Unfortunately I am no longer operating Arbitrarily0Bot - I need to remove that from my userpage. There still should be, however, some active bots at Category:WikiProject tagging bots. Good luck to you, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 18:11, 10 January 2016 (UTC)
Request for splitting and merging a few page histories
Salutations, Arbitrarily0! I hope you are doing well.
I'm working on what has become (due to sheer length) a series of articles about the history of Texas A&M University–Commerce, currently in my userspace, so I'm hoping you could split and merge a few page histories for me (I had initially started writing this as one article). The source in each case is User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of Texas A&M University–Commerce, and the three target pages are as follows (with the inclusive revisions to be moved noted in parentheses):
- User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas Normal College (from here to here, inclusive)
- User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas State Normal College (from here to here, inclusive)
- User:Michael Barera/sandbox/History of East Texas State Teachers College (from here to here, inclusive)
Hopefully this all makes sense and isn't too much work for which to ask. If you have any concerns, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks in advance, and all the best!
Michael Barera (talk) 21:49, 12 March 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Michael! Great to hear from you. Should be taken care of now. Grace to you, Arbitrarily0 (talk) 15:24, 20 March 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you, sir! It is much appreciated! Greetings from Texas! Michael Barera (talk) 17:46, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Warramunga
@Arbitrarily0/: since you started the article and still seem to be active, just to inform you I came across some images on commons and I was thinking of creating a separate category Commons:Category:Warramunga Tribe, or would Commons:Category:Warramungu Tribe be more appropriate? Descripton of this image reads: TREE BURIAL, RAKING THE BONES FROM THE PLATFORM - WARRAMUNGA TRIBE - CENTRAL AUSTRALIA Do you have some advise? Thank you for your time. Lotje (talk) 05:58, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
- @Lotje: sorry I missed this message. I suppose it's best to use the spelling which appears more frequently in the literature, but I'm not sure which one this is. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 15:35, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
Casablanca Fan Company
Casablanca Fan Company appears to be owned now by Hunter Fan Company. Yet I can find no information online as to when that happened. After Burton died, did the company go into decline? Did sales fall off? Did product quality suffer? Was the Hunter acquisition hostile or a rescue? Do you or anyone know? Wikiceej (talk) 05:17, 13 September 2019 (UTC)
- Wikiceej, I do not know about this. Perhaps there will be a press release soon, if not already. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 14:49, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

Arameans
Hi Arbitrarily0,
I saw that you also undid the revert on Arameans that was not the intention actually. There already took 2 RFC's place on the page with both RFC's going about the same thing and the consensus for it was reached. There was a rough consensus for a seperation between modern and ancient Arameans.
The page you undid was actually going about the modern people, while I was busy with Draft:The history of the Arameans
I hope you can revert the edit back and protect it so I can finish the page about the history of these people and put an end to all the discussions that have been going on for 6 months.
Best regards & stay safe! :) Kikkererwtje (talk) 21:04, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- Hello Kikkererwtje. Unfortunately I do not know much about the controversy, but it should be decided on the article's talk page. I protected the page because of edit warring, and restored it to the last stable version, as is the usual practice. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 01:08, 6 November 2020 (UTC)
Talk:Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church
Can you update the "result" statement to show that the page was moved to a different page, not the one in the original discussion? Seeing that redlink without the actual name is going to confuse people. Also, since page move requests wind up in various archives, consider making what would otherwise be a pointless/unnecessary redirect from Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church (Jacksonville) to Old St. Andrew's Episcopal Church. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 15:26, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks; addressed. Feel free to redirect that page if you feel appropriate. Arbitrarily0 (talk) 15:31, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks, I will. I assume you meant "without disambiguation" rather than "without hatnote" in your clarification. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 17:38, 14 November 2020 (UTC)
- Correct! Corrected. :) Arbitrarily0 (talk) 14:54, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Hi, this article was previously deleted because it was Article for deletion. I understand that he may not have been an encyclopedic person before, but he is now an encyclopedic person. The singer is currently known in Turkey. I also corrected the mistakes in the article. Please help to return the article. If you have any suggestions for further improvement of the article, I can do it too. Reliable news about the singer were also published in Turkish sources. There are multiple and independent sources in the matter. The only problem is that the resources in the article are in foreign languages.Please bring the article back. If you return the article and give it 10-15 days, we will do our best to improve the article. Thanks — Xəyal Haşımov (talk) 13:53, 6 December 2020 (UTC)

Deleted Page
The page I created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but I want to save the content from it to use for a user draft. Can you please copy it to my user page.
I also want to add the filmography that was on the page previously back on and to update it with current credits.
I want to also add current news articles to this page for Caitlin Dulany - from 2019 and 2020.
I would like to add a picture from the news as well.
