instant noodles in Australia

Hi I'm sorry if my editing of the section on instant noodles in Australia didn't seem constructive. My meaning may have came across poorly, but i believe my edit was indicative of Australians instant noodle tastes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.209.66.117 (talk) 01:29, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem, and thanks for letting me know. On Wikipedia, we expect information added to articles to be properly sourced. My issue with your edit is that it added drastically new and negative information to the article without any reference material. If you do have some reference to legitimize this addition, then by all means add it. If you are unsure of how to do this, let me know and I will help you with it. Have a good day!

It was an accident

It was an accident I was trying to add something but my computer crashed and when I came back it was gone. Anyway I don't think anything crucial got erased. Sorry for the trouble. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frog890 (talk • contribs) 02:50, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah okay. Yeah, it didn't seem like it was something being done maliciously, I just wasn't understanding why you were removing headers from talk pages. But I restored them, no harm done. Have a good evening! Trusilver 02:52, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for understanding.

Can you help me out with something if you know how? You see some people with apparently nothing to do have been tagging my upload files for Trevor's and Zach's profiles with speedy deletion. I'm not violating any right even one picture that I been trying to upload for Zach I bought from Getty images. I changed the tags but they keep insisting I'm so upset they just come and destroy our work. What do you recommend how should I tag them so they'll leave it alone and won't erase them. They already did it twice with my Zach's picture. It is so unfair I'm just trying to help. But I don't know what can I do this people are really square and stubborn. I'm just an honest fan. And truly I've checked there's no copyright infringement. What can I do? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frog890 (talk • contribs) 03:05, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The file is already gone, so I can't see how it was originally attributed. Magog was the one who tagged it for speedy deletion, so I think it would be a good idea to ask him what it was about the file that he found unacceptable. It's very unlikely that anyone is here just to destroy your work, most everyone here is helpful and well-meaning. If someone does something that you question, the best course of action is to ask them what the issue is and how you can remedy it. Trusilver 03:09, 1 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tobacco Caye

Hi, Trusilver. I also reversed your edit, but I added a formatted reference to support the claim. It is linked to a blog, but the author has published articles for the BBC, New Guardian, and other organizations. I have reason to believe that the claim now holds more water. --134.139.216.13 (talk) 17:26, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I just got done reading it right as I noticed your message! Thank you for supplying the reference. Have a great day. Trusilver 17:27, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

R U Sure?

Sounds good, can you reference it? While not every single change in a article's language necessarily requires a citation, it is a pretty good idea to leave one, or at least an edit summary explaining the change made. (the small box right above the save button). Doing this will prevent misunderstandings and help others to know why the changes are being made. If you need help with this, or anything else, please feel free to ask me. Have a good day. Trusilver 23:56, 2 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks, Trusilver, for all you do on Wikipedia, especially keeping my personal pages free of vandalism. Regards, Pinethicket (talk) 23:25, 4 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. It's certainly appreciated. :) Trusilver 00:11, 5 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

how can i make constructive pages and r u the administrater of wikipedia ???????? — Preceding unsigned comment added by K K Kothari (talk • contribs) 03:23, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The first thing is to understand that edits like this[1] are totally unacceptable. Trusilver 03:51, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No source whatsoever.

That "article" had no source at all. How did it get published to start with? ANY article is better than NO article? Really?A Source Monster (talk) 20:52, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The correct method of dealing with sourcing problems is to tag it for references, bring up your issue in the talk page, CSD tag it IF there is a copyright issue, or (and here's a really crazy idea) find some sources for it yourself. Blanking an article arbitrarily is NOT an acceptable solution. Have a good day. Trusilver 21:00, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

YES! Dloh cierekim 21:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"or (and here's a really crazy idea) find some sources for it yourself"? Why? I didn't put that pseudo-article up to start with. Did the original publisher follow ""The correct method"? "ANY article is better than NO article?"A Source Monster (talk) 21:30, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes... find some sources. We work as a collective here, the best solution to finding something that is wrong with the encyclopedia is to fix it. I have no intention of arguing with you about it. If you have a problem with the article, then address it with one of the methods I just provided you. This is how we do things here. You can always take up your issue at the reliable sources noticeboard. However, continuing to blank the entire article is going to be futile, as that ANY wikipedian monitoring recent changes will revert a blanked article. Have a good day. Trusilver 21:35, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

@A Source Monster-- YES. Really. It's what we do. Not every article is well sourced and well structured to start with. We don't know such articles need to be deleted till after we try to improve them. We are a collaborative effort. And we never blank someone else's work unless it is required under G10 or BLP or copyright. Dloh cierekim 21:50, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Tru, thank you for being polite.

I do not have the ability to pursue this. I was interested in the subject, and had no problem with the article itself. But the sloppy method irritated me. Not only was it published without sources, but edited without them, too. Not encyclopedic, was it? So I rocked the boat. Now several real "Wikipedians" are aware of this stuff. I would hope that this article will be improved, or deleted, in the future. So, again, thank you for being polite.

BTW, I am going to post this answer to another polite Wikipedian. Hope that doesn't offend you.A Source Monster (talk) 23:10, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Not a problem at all. I was just about to go over to the article and put a tag on it for no sources, but User:Dlohcierekim already beat me to it. Trusilver 23:15, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perro verde

not seeing the page blank. Just revert to Spanish. A7 either way. Dloh cierekim 21:19, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Where did the editor request the page to be deleted per your A7? Go Phightins! (talk) 21:20, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, sorry about that. I actually had to look this up, as I didn't have the slightest clue what you were talking about. I could have sworn I A7'd this one rather than G7'd it. Thank you both for the quick catch. Trusilver 21:23, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, it wasn't going to last long anyway. Happy editing, Go Phightins! (talk) 21:25, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, but never fear! It's back again. G4 this time? :) Trusilver 21:27, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

G4 only for AfD. For all I know, it's notable, so they can try again to get it up. Hopefully in English, w/ 20 verifiable sources Dloh cierekim 21:46, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Did we ever figure out what Perro Verde translated to English is? Go Phightins! (talk) 21:49, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Direct translation is "green dog" or possibly "fresh" or "young" dog. Depends on the dialect. Trusilver 22:06, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's what I'd have guessed based on my limited Spanish knowledge...it's been a while. Thanks for your help on the article. Go Phightins! (talk) 22:09, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's notable either. I've spent the last twenty minutes using my half-assed ability to read Spanish and I'm not really seeing any obvious sources for it. If the article DOES come back with refs, it would probably be helpful to have someone that speaks better Spanish than I do to check them out, because I'm not finding anything in English. Trusilver 22:12, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it also should probably be on the Spanish Wikipedia as well. Anyway, thanks. Go Phightins! (talk) 19:46, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Jaipur Kathak Kendra

trusilver when are you adding back whatever i have added to wikipage jaipur kathak kendra and you have removed saying you did not find it constructive. i have written a explanation but have not been able to see a change. this is second time you i have tried adding value to wikipedia in years but both times nothing happened and i felt having wasted time — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kathakjaipur (talk • contribs) 06:38, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To answer your question, adding the telephone number and address of the subject of an article is neither encyclopedic nor appropriate under several policies. Wikipedia is not a directory. Trusilver 06:45, 10 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Great Job!

You keep beating me to reverting vandals...that's about 15 times so far, stop that :P --at-210 ^{discovered elements ∞ what am I?} 17:47, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hah, you have beaten me a few times today too. I think the speed comes from doing this crap for five years :) Trusilver 18:00, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

Thank you kindly :) Trusilver 18:01, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Also... keep in mind that you use STiki. I don't use that application for a reason... I feel that Huggle, while being a little more complicated, is more useful for identifying vandalism. The queue parameters for STiki are too narrow, in my opinion. Trusilver 18:28, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of link

Please restore the link to http://financialstatementschool.com/ to the Financial Statement Analysis topic. I believe you made a mistake by removing it. Please look at "Further Reading" #4. It's a homemade website with a very incomplete list of some financial ratios. Why is this link here? I thought the one I added was much more useful to readers.

According to the guidelines, a link may be inserted when it contains helpful/additional info. over and above what the wikipedia page can cover. I think the link I had added fits this well. The site has a huge list of ratio calculations with the actual calculation, description, analysis, and even analysis of a sample financial statement. Please look at this:

http://financialstatementschool.com/categories/263/ratios.aspx

Here is one of the entries:

Thanks!

Kenpirok (talk) 23:36, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I have looked over the article and your site, as well as removed two other links from the article (the one you talked about and another that was far more commercially slanted than yours.) As far as your site goes, it has a lot of useful information on it, and I don't feel that the link to your commercial site is EXTREMELY blatant. Obviously you would like to use Wikipedia as a means to funnel traffic to your site, and you don't go to extremes to hide your COI issue. Also... keeping in mind WP:ADV, I feel that the wealth of information on the site that is not available on the article warrant inclusion. Overall... the content is very informational and the link over to your commercial site is low-key. Unless anyone else has an objection to it, please feel free to re-insert the link. I'm going to remove the warning on your userpage. Trusilver 01:41, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ahh...

We'll make a Tide fan out of you yet! Seriously, I know it's just a click, but thanks for the clean up. See ya 'round Tiderolls 23:57, 13 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I figure after I revert vandalism on your user page for the 100th time, there is some kind of prize coming to me. Trusilver 00:37, 14 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
