Shots such as this one are pretty damned near flawless. Personally I like a tighter crop on the sides and bottom, but that's just my preference. Don't change a thing. I hope you are past dreaming of a Hyundai Sonata. mr.choppers (talk)^-en- 16:12, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Mr.choppers Thankyou. I happened to have purchased a new DSLR and revised a few techniques, since Vauxford's images have actually gone up quite a lot in my absence (good way). I actually like some of his recent examples. Unfortunately, like him, I want to try and get back to editing the automobile section, and technically because I could have done the appeal back in 2019 (late). As I felt like everyone has abandoned me, I wanted to vanish for a while, but again, i felt that I tried a few other sections, but unfortunately to no avail. The automobile section is my strongest - but i can't edit there at the moment, so i figured if we can continue improving, later on, if you are all happy, we could try and get the ban lifted. Technically, when I emailed Oshwah, I could actually edit the other Wikis, but before I do I wanted everyone to make sure we are happy. Again, I would like to owe my apology for my 2018 behaviour, I was going through a lot and yeah, I felt that I deserved the topic ban, but now with you lot on my side, we can make a difference. I do have the user rights so ultimately, we could strategically do a compromise e.g. restriction on replacing images etc. --Nim Bhharathhan (talk) 23:38, 31 July 2022 (UTC)Reply

Mr.choppers – have you been up to much? Like do you have a new job/got an additional degree? I'm nearly done with my studies at university. Just wanted to check out whats been going on in my absence i guess --Nim Bhharathhan (talk) 03:07, 1 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Two kids and busy building a career. Good luck with Uni. Encountered a single-minded editor determined to delete everything in WP and received no support from anyone, so I pulled back from Wikipedia. I still upload photos but not as much. Not worth editing if it just causes aggravation. I suggest doing similarly and not getting into pointless battles. mr.choppers (talk)^-en- 01:47, 2 August 2022 (UTC)Reply

Talking of pointless battles - Nim, Why did you feel it was necessary to revert me over at Simple ?, Not saying I cannot be reverted but given I've disagreed with every single revert you've ever made against me (as have others) It was obvious to anyone that yesterdays revert antics were going to be no different (ie I was going to revert you reverting me!).

If you were to A) stop replacing images with yours and B) not revert me for idiotic reasons then we wont have problems.

I would kindly suggest you leave and never return to any project here because it's very very clear that you are not compatible with any project you stumble across on (some could argue neither am I but the point is I can knuckle down, put the work in, get shit done and not piss off half of the community!, You on the other hand don't seem to do a great deal here other than revert, cause issues and basically piss everyone off (which would explain your EN indef block).

I'm not here to gloat or further antagonize you but as I said you're not compatible with any project here and no matter how hard you try that will never change so from one human to another I would suggest leaving Wikimedia as a whole and focusing on your uni studies which are far more important than this site. –Davey2010^Talk 14:31, 2 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
