Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists

Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet

It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia.

This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.

You are dearly missed-RIP[edit]

I received an e-mail today from Brookies family with the sad news that he passed away on Dec. 22, 2021. So long my friend, you will be missed. Not only your contributions were an inspiration, but you were always there when needed. Tony the Marine (talk) 16:01, 4 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rest in peace, Brookie, you will be dearly missed. KevinL (aka L235 · t · c) 16:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Brookie, I was so sorry to hear of your passing today. And not without tears, despite our never having met. From the time, years ago, that I started contributing, you were so kind and understanding. You set up my user page, helped with templates, helped me get over some vindictive edits, and were always there with operational and ethical advice. Even after a gap of a few years, I was able to call upon you and you picked up right where you left off. Brookie, your expertise, support, kindliness and goodwill will be your legacy. Having left the building now, rest in peace. "We are stardust; we are golden." I will not forget you. FCleff (talk) 23:00, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Sad I meet you only now, thanks for all you did during your long time, including upload this image. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:35, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Gerda Arendt. May you rest in peace, you will be dearly missed. My condolences to his friends and family. --TheSandDoctor ^Talk 17:44, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Rest in peace Brookie, so sorry I never had the privilege of actually crossing roads with you on Wikipedia. Thank you for all you did. Lotje (talk) 07:45, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
You were always as courteous with other editors as you were careful with your own edits. Sincerely missed. My condolences to your dear ones. – Fayenatic London 14:02, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your edits will endure, Brookie. We'll keep your work fresh, as you've done for us. I hope family and friends might learn how respected and trusted was this contributor. He will be missed. BusterD (talk) 10:32, 12 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

When you are editing/contributing Wikipedia, I didn't know you but when I knew your contribution throughout the Wikipedia, I am pleased with that. Unfortunately, when I knew you, you already left this world for forever. Rest In Peace sir! You always with us in our heart. Fade258 (talk) 08:47, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

File source problem with File:OldSeramporeCollege.jpg[edit]

Thank you for uploading File:OldSeramporeCollege.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next seven days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.
