:Bgwhite, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, that wasn't my intention. I've spent 2 years on Arbcom, seeing the worst of Wikipedia, and I do admit it's left me jaded and probably seeing things which aren't there. At the same time - one thing that really annoyed me whilst on Arbcom was the total lack of discussion, the fact that people never talk to each other, never bring up issues with an admin before it gets too far. |
|||
:If you looked at the message I left OZ, you would have seen I made the following points: |
|||
:*His first block was reasonable |
|||
:*His second block was reasonable |
|||
:*You are <u>not</u> involved. |
|||
:*I'm planning to restrict him to 1RR on all India-Pakistan pages. |
|||
:I made this clear to OZ, and I've had backlash from him since. I've gone on to point out that sockpuppet accusations need to be kept off the talk page and kept in SPI. |
|||
:But the fact is, from the outside - you unilaterally overturned a block as unwarranted without talking to the admin. That's not good, there was no rush. Then, you reverted and increased the level of protection on the [[Rape in India]] article twice, calling it "vandalism". That's not on - at all. We've got admin accountability for a reason and if you're not able to talk about your actions, I'm sorry, but that needs to be addressed. |
|||
:As for your accusations of threatening emails, depending on what he's been sending, I will be blocking him indefinitely. Could you please forward them to me or to Arbcom? If you have indeed deleted them and therefore do not have evidence, could you please retract the accusation. I'm afraid I've blocked users in the past for carrying on with similar accusations and I would rather not get into that again. I'll be contacting Swarm for the same.

Bgwhite is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon. |
I believe most editors use Incorrect English, the second most common is American English, followed by Indian English and British English. -- Arnd Bergmann
Donald BurgyI'm not quite sure how to do this but i would like to understand what i can do to get donald burgy's page to stay up. you are asking for more references but there are many at the end of his page. what kind of references are you looking for exactly?? thank you. and where should I look for your response? I think i just fixed it - i removed the list of exhibtions. but then where would that info go? it is encyclopedic, no?

Request for input on talk pageI would like your input on an edit that is currently being discussed. Specifically, the Proposed formatting change for the article List of Presidents of the United States. Since you have edited numerous lists of officeholders, I thought you could share insights and information that may be pertinent to this discussion. The edit that is being discussed is this. Thank you. Mitchumch (talk) 10:45, 14 March 2015 (UTC) A barnstar for you!
untitledThis is the first time I have used Wiki Talkpage, apologies for format/technique. I believe Bgwhite edited this page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_K._Green On this line: "...according to records from the Texas State Board of Veterinary Medical Examiners.[1]" When I click the link to the letter "1", the letter I posted previously is not presented; the letter is 'gone'. Would there be any way to replace it please? 2. There was also a similar letter from University of Cornell but I see no reference to it, nor the letter itself. Kind regards Dave Taylor WestTexasDave (talk) 02:15, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Regarding your punctuation before reference fix on At Freddie'sThis was actually a mistake on your part, and I reverted it. See explanation on User talk:Magioladitis#Mistaken fix to reference after punctuation in At Freddie's where Yobot made the exact same mistake. The colon involved is not punctuation, although it looks like punctuation, but instead it is wiki markup. Following Magioladitis's fix (fool the bot) I introduced a comment even, so that not even humans will make that mistake! Oh, well. Thanks for your good try.

Paul SteinhardtHi there - I'm trying to improve the Paul Steinhardt page so it meets wiki standards. I've reviewed the wiki style page (again) and made some changes to clean up the layout, which I hope you will see are an improvement. Perhaps I've been trying to be too cryptic because the subject is so complicated. Maybe that's why it seemed too much like a CV, which is not my intent. I'm just trying to chronicle his scientific contributions. Is it the inclusion of dates that are a problem? The date are especially important in the inflation section. They're relevant in the other sections as well, but I could work them into the copy if you think that would be better. I'm just trying to organize the information in a readable format. I don't know Dr. Steinhardt, I'm just a fan. So I can't write the story of how he came up with all these unbelievably complicated equations and insights. But I CAN track his contribution to science through his work, and I really believe that is something that will be of great use to Wikipedia readers. I worked very hard on this page and very much want to make it work. Just like you, I have the best of intentions. Is there something specific I can do better?Sleepy Geek (talk) 22:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi again- I've now made all the fixes you suggested, along many similar fixes in other places, as well. Your suggestion to combine Natural Quasicrystals and Geoscience was especially good, and a big improvement. What do you think now? Also: I've been going through and manually adding wiki-links...do more experienced users have a more efficient (automated) way of doing that? Thanks again for your very helpful advice. Sleepy Geek (talk) 19:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi there - Thanks so much for all this help, your advice really helped me improve the page in short order. I replaced the problematic footnote (#16 on the list), with a link to the relevant paper on his website. Nice to have another pair of eyes.Sleepy Geek (talk) 19:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
GreetingsHi Bgwhite - Thank you for your help in editing the entry for my great-grandfather, Charles Aubrey Eaton. Please feel free to contact me with any other suggestions, etc. BTW I cannot use an AWB editor because I own a Mac. (I believe AWB is only compatible with Windows, correct?) - All good wishes, Nathaniel Albert Eaton — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nathaniel Albert Eaton (talk • contribs) 23:53, 24 March 2015 (UTC) Reference errors on 26 MarchHello, I'm ReferenceBot.

Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC) My revertI saw that you undid my revert. To clarify my point, I should tell you that my aim was not to oppose your edits and I wanted to keep the article in a good shape but I did not want to concentrate on finding the missing code! So, I undid it so that the article got in shape once again. Now, I see no problem with that because an IP, I think, fixed them. Btw, thanks for your efforts. Mhhossein (talk) 05:34, 27 March 2015 (UTC) Re: M-63Whatever you're "fixing" on M-63 (Michigan highway), no one can tell what it is in the sea of other changes. Your edit shifted all sorts of text all around, without any effect other than to obscure whatever it is you're attempting to fix. Please isolate whatever change it is you wish to affect, without moving things willy nilly, so that others can see the specific fix. We can't learn whatever the issue is to attempt to avoid it if we can't find whatever the actual fix is! Imzadi 1979 → 22:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Gravine Island FixThank you for trying to cleanup the article at Gravine Island. I had to revert the fix however because the fix removed the proper map in the article. The diff of the change is here. Your edit summary sais it fixed error #34. Thanks for trying. JodyB talk 11:38, 28 March 2015 (UTC) Request to Re-Protect Rape in IndiaSorry to bother you, could you reprotect the Rape in India page, or at lease semi protect it? To force discussion there? The IP editing there, in light of what the fracas between OccultZone and me, seems to me like a sick attempt to frame me. Even if its a coincidence, OccultZone will just use it against me. I know this 2 are selfish reasons. But more importantly, forcing discussion to talk was the best thing to happen to the page in a while. Seek your understanding on this, thanks.

NWA Central States Television ChampionshipThank you for catching that, I had not seen that when I posted the expanded article but I knew what to fix so it's taken care of. MPJ -US 20:34, 30 March 2015 (UTC) Little concernedHi Bgwhite. I was asked to look into the recent incidents with OccultZone. You can see what I've said on his talk page. Now, whilst I was looking into things, I did see a few actions by you which concerned me a bit and I was hoping to address them with you.
If you could refrain from using your tools further at the Rape in India article, I'd certainly appreciate it. WormTT(talk) 11:28, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Bgwhite It's true that if OZ has served their first block for 72 hours things might have been better now. Ofcourse, we can't turn time back. -- Magioladitis (talk) 20:38, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bgwhite. Sorry about that, but I had to revert to the last known good config and in the process your edits and the bot's got reverted too. Could you possibly check the article again? Many thanks. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 21:08, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
