Images
Please before adding images check if they are already here. I marked three you uploaded for deletion because they are already here. And also, use original image name and not a random download name. --JorgeGG (talk) 18:57, June 13, 2020 (UTC)
Adopting King of America
Hello Mr. Bole. I saw your note at Talk:King of America. I appreciate that you're trying to adopt the timeline properly. But first, a couple of things:
- Sign your talk page comments. Either type four tildes ~~~~ or hit the "Signature and Timestamp" button in the toolbar (top row, third button).
- Check out our Adoption Policy. You should start by leaving a message to the creator at User talk:United Republic. He is inactive according to his own user page, but sometimes when people go inactive they still get notifications of new messages. UR last made edits just a few months ago, so he's not completely gone. So please contact him and wait a week before making edits to his timeline.
- Even if UR doesn't respond, we will ask you to be very careful with any changes that you make to KoA. It's a detailed and well-established timeline here. You see it was awarded that Outstanding Timeline status. That's not an active award anymore, but it still means that KoA was recognized as quality work. It would not be good if a lot of poorly-thought-out content got added to a timeline like that.
- It happens that KoA has more detailed rules for suggesting changes to it: Editorial Guidelines (King of America). So please check out that page as well.
- Make sure that when you do adopt a timeline, "Add, Don't Subtract." Respect what was already written. Marking things for deletion is seldom going to be OK.
- For future reference, to ask for a deletion, you add {{delete|~~~~|reason}} (Template:Delete) to the page. That alerts admins and also allows you to write the reason it should be deleted.
Reach out if you have questions about all this. I know it's a lot. We have to be a lot stricter than most wikis because our pages are all the creative work of somebody. False Dmitri (talk) 21:30, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
Warning
I have observed that you are a bit of obsessed with adopting King of America with your messages to United Republic. From what I caught on, UR did not give you any permission or authorization to work on his timeline. Like anyone else, anything you submit to the timeline should through the review process first, in which your works are considered proposals and not canons. The review process is the sole authority of United Republic as the timeline's creator and owner.
Now, I saw you have changed an article with the intention to delete it. Who gave you such authorization? Who gave you that authority to decide whether the timeline's proposed articles should be deleted or not? You are acting like you are the owner already while nothing said from the original creator whether you can change anything inside the timeline. Based on the adoption rule, as the creator and owner of said timeline has refused your adoption proposal, then you are not the owner whatsoever.
Now, it is my warning: Please refrain yourself from doing such things again in the future. If you want to delete one article, put the delete template and not empty the page and change the title like "Please delete this", "Please delete that", etc. That is to make easier to us to review whether the articles should be deleted or not. The fact you did not doing that, in a blatant act of illegal authority in meddling on other people's timelines, is not appreciated by us.
Thank you. FirstStooge (talk) 12:42, 9 May 2021 (UTC)
I am very sorry. I thought that as they where proposals and not proper articles that they didn’t matter as much. Lucian Bole
Copying ideas from Mortes
Hello,
It has been raised to my attention that your article (List of Kings of England (Monnaie)) has copied its list from a similar article from the timeline Merveilles des Mortes. There is nothing against the rules of you doing that, as it isn't considered plagiarism in this case.
However, you have to bear in mind that the fictional rulers on the list are the original creation of Mortes. The authors of Mortes have requested that you should not use these characters, but instead make your own characters for your timeline. You can leave a message on my page if you have any further questions to pass on to the authors of Mortes. Oh, I didn't mean to push that button! † Oh, well leave a message I guess 00:40, 8 June 2021 (UTC)
more duplicate files
I've come across a number of other files that you uploaded that were duplicates of existing ones. They're on 1968 Republican Primaries (Reagan ‘68). They're old, maybe uploaded before you got the note from Jorge last year. But I'll just remind you to search for existing images before uploading new ones.

undoing a page rename
Hello, I forgot to leave a message earlier. You renamed Andrew Windsor (1983: Doomsday), choosing "Andrew I". I undid that for a couple of reasons. First, there's no need to rename a page unless it's erroneous or confusing, and it isn't that. But second, it's incorrect. Monarchs don't become "the First" until a successor comes along with the same name. We call her "Queen Victoria", not "Victoria I". I'm sorry for undoing your move without discussion or explanation.
