Thank you

Thank you for helping me with "2015 in country" pages. And have a Happy New Year. Jackninja5 (talk) 04:21, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You too and keep up your good work! OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 04:22, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

	The Original Barnstar
	Thanks for all of your background, low-profile edits that no one else bothers to do. Editors like you, doing gnome-y tasks, are the lifeblood of Wikipedia- without you, Wikipedia would be a giant mess. Keep up the good work!

Thank you!

Category:CS1 errors: missing author or editor

I just noticed how big Category:CS1 errors: missing author or editor. Could you teach me how to help clear it? (And tell me what exactly it means? :P) Cheers! --L235 (talk) Ping when replying 19:21, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

They leave with |first and they don't add |last, when they are writing the author's name. Sometimes they also use |first= parameter where we should use |work= parameter. You have to Ctrl+F and find where they have used "first=", and haven't inserted "last=", if it is the name of a person it can be replaced with |author=[1] or you can also insert |last=[2], you can insert |work=[3] if it is a website or company. Some have used |editor1-first= and forgot to add |editor1-last=[4] OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 04:16, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

UAE Year Pages

You seem to be part of WikiProject United Arab Emirates. I should probably do the same with Libya. :P Jackninja5 (talk) 04:14, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 04:26, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I also added some events in those years, I found on Current events portals to the pages. ;) Jackninja5 (talk) 04:32, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Years in Iran

I've noticed that you've been creating articles about various years in Iran. I'm wondering, since they are without any content, why you did not first create them as a draft page or a user sub-page, add content to each, before then publishing them as articles? SecretName101 (talk) 07:21, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@SecretName101: As long as it speaks enough about the scope of the content, it is fair to create. Although it can be controversial if the subject is clearly non-notable, here the subject is notable enough to have its article. I will probably expand each under 1 week. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:24, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying. Clearly you have an incredibly vast Wikipedia editing experience. I was just hoping for clarification so that I could have a better understanding of what you were doing. Thank you for responding, and happy belated New Year. SecretName101 (talk) 07:27, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year to you too! OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 07:35, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Happy New Year OccultZone!

Happy New Year!

Have a prosperous, productive and enjoyable New Year, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 12:41, 2 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: ANI closure

Thanks for the reminder. I was attempting to close this while putting my older daughter to bed & obviously dropped the ball on those steps. -- llywrch (talk) 06:10, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for the corrections. -- llywrch (talk) 06:44, 3 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Humbug, OccultZone. You should rather have asked why Kww reverted the edits. That the whole "famously" thing is not neutral (hence the IP's summary, "rm pov") is obvious, and that the material isn't properly verified is also obvious, if only because that particular link is dead--besides, a NPS website wouldn't be a very good site to source that kind of info about a historical person from. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 05:24, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Drmies: It may have been inserted because that was his main and most notable achievement. Yes a NPS website is not a reliable source for this sort of knowledge, that's why I didn't bothered to search for archives. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 05:40, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I did, but oddly enough the main page's link, which was alive, was to the exact same place--it wasn't just a matter of a page having been moved. Drmies (talk) 05:46, 5 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A kitten for you!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Thx for adding the talk page to 2015 Savannah Steam season. Just for the record, its about American football, not football. Common mistake. WikiOriginal-9 (talk) 15:14, 6 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

January 2015

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in 1951 in Germany, disturbs uniformity among articles and may cause readability or accessibility problems. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. past tense. Duh. :) Avono (talk) 17:53, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Origin of the domestic dog

Hello Occultzone,

Regarding your recent edits:

Eurasia.^[1]^[2]

These are outdated refererences and you clearly have not read the article, in particular the Thalmann (Nov 2013) and Freedman (Jan 2014) genetic findings. Based on the latest science, dogs originated in Europe, in particular Western Europe.

Please undo them. Regards, William Harris (talk) 20:14, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Keeping WP:NPOV, WP:RS in the mind, there is clearly no reason to undo them. They are much better and dated than a few self published website, consider opening a discussion on the talk page of article. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 23:46, 8 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am happy to raise the matter to a higher lever in Wikipedia. Your days of "contributions" and "edits" to get your edit numbers up may be coming to a close.William Harris (talk) 00:18, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you hadn't noticed, I had opened a section on the talk page. Also consider reading WP:DR, it describes how to deal during the content dispute. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 00:20, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Archeage and Trion

Hi can you look into both these articles' revision history : ArcheAge and Trion Worlds. An IP is trying to write his grudge into the article without providing any reference. When confronted he accuses me of being by the above companies and has reverted back the article 2 times. You can look into the talk pages for additional info. Thank You. Lakun.patra (talk) 08:38, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I have reverted those edits as they seemed like an opinion. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 08:42, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Shumye

Hi Angela,

I couldn't understand why you deleted the piece I put out on the background of Fitawrari Shumye, second in command of Ras Gugesa Welle's Army in the battle of Anchim. I just used the hyperlink provided to Fitawrari Shumye, on the main article to provide more information on the background of the man. I have no intention of promoting or aggrandizing anyone here as you seem to suspect (least, people who are already dead long time a go), except trying to provide a piece of information that could fill the gap in a person's biography. Now, you may ask how do I know more about this person? This is fair question. I'm related to Fitawrari Shumye, and my dad grew up in his home after losing his dad (my grandfather) at a young age. In other words, my grandfather, Abegaz Gunagul, is the brother of Fitawrari Shumye Gunagul and the family knows a lot about the biography of the two brothers and tyhe battle of Anchim, March 1930. The battle of Anchim where Fitawrari Shumye is mentioned is already documented in several publications, so I don’t have any new thing to add here. I mentioned the peasant protest that took place in the mid 1930’s in Northern Ethiopia, where Fitawrari Shumye’s brother (my grandfather), was the leader of the protest, just for additional information for the benefit of readers. Regarding this particular peasant protest, you can refer to a BA thesis “System of Land Tenure and Peasant Protest in Gubalfto Wereda, 1984, Addis Ababa University, written by a researcher called, "Molla Tikuye” This paper is mentioned in several other studies on the web, but there is no scanned copy of it on the Internet. However, you can find the hard copy at Kennedy Library, Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia. If you think this is not relevant for my piece on Shumye, you can take it out. I don’t mind.

Thank you, Getachew Dessiye, Edmonton, Canada

Here is a revised version of my piece and I kindly ask you to put it back on the hype link to Shumye:

Fitawrari Shumye Guangul hails from North Wello-Yeju district. He is one of the sons of Guangul Aleye, a known nobility in Yeju district. As a man who loved adventure and hunting, he traveled to the nearest region Debretabor-Gonder to become a trusted leader and commander of Ras Gugesa Welle's Army of 35,000. . Fitawrari Shumye was known for his accurate shooting skills and extraordinary bravery in battle, winning the commander’s post on Ras Gugsa Welle’s Army. . Older people in Debretabor and Yeju narrate that he fought on to the last bullet in the battle of Anchim, even after the death of his master Ras Gugsa, before he was captured by the Imperial Army. The Emperor jailed Fitawrari Shumye for nearly 6 years for the heavy casualties the Imperial Army suffered in the battle. After his release from jail, Fitawrari Shumye letter fought against the Italian occupation of Ethiopia, and was involved in a pitch battle against General Nazi of the Italian Army in Gonder area in 1940-41. General Nazi was later defeated and captured. One of Fitawrari Shumye Guangul’s brothers, Abegaz Guangul, was also a peasant rebellion leader in North Wello Yeju district in the mid 1930s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Getachewde1 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 11 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
