Belfort book dates

You can call it spam but you've also now removed the only publication-date-reference for the books; which was the reason for my edits in the first place. Don't you think my solution was better than nothing on second thought? I thought it looked better to have a date here, couldn't without a reference. Do you really think Amazon's wrong? Swliv (talk) 12:57, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

You put a link to Amazon solely for the purpose of establishing the publication date of the book? That's overkill. They get the date from the publisher same as everyone else. Why not just use worldcat? The Wolf of Wall Street and Catching the Wolf of Wall Street.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 15:08, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

You could have saved me a good deal of angst by coming back to this page or otherwise notifying me after you posted this next to the Belfort article:

15:09, 1 March 2014 Undid revision by Alf.laylah.wa.laylah: I was wrong, we should list his books.

You're doing a lot. Take care. Less prolific editors are also, probably, acting in good faith in our constructive, collegial enterprise. Cheers. Swliv (talk) 21:17, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Oh dear, I'm sorry. I'll remember next time.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 22:30, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Sarcasm is really helpful. (Was just wondering back re: 15:08, 1 March 2014.) Swliv (talk) 17:32, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Did you take that sarcastically? I really didn't mean it to be. It was a sincere apology.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:34, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Well, yes I did [17:56 and suspected it but did not address it on 3 March; bad habit, maybe]. Sorry. Good faith. Onward. Swliv (talk) 17:40, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Yep, see you in the trenches!— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 17:41, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Lent

Thanks for that, but it seems like there's more trouble - LimosaCorel and 2606:6000:80C1:6900:84B:49D8:1AD1:157E are the same user and LimosaCorel, who is editing on behalf of the SSPX (which is banned by the Catholic Church), reintroduced the edits: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lent&diff=598057862&oldid=598057666 His version, which he restored, removes a source, and misrepresents the one he added. Please take care of that if you can. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.177.19 (talk) 04:17, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

I figured as much. I'll look into it and work on it.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 04:19, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

I appreciate that! It looks like there is a discussion already opened here, have at it! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:ANI#Massive_edit_war_and_possible_socking — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.177.19 (talk) 04:25, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Ah, I put it here: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/LimosaCorel. I'll go look at the ANI thing.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 04:27, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks - hopefully the bias that was introduced by that ultra-conservative editor can be removed after this is sorted out. Lent starts on Wednesday so it's probably a good idea for the article to be accurate by that time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.177.19 (talk) 04:41, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

I did make my case on the talk page

Ken never replied, he just reverts to a picture that looks NOTHING like that range, a range I see every day.— Preceding unsigned comment added by WPPilot (talk • contribs) 07:02, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

So what? You're still past 3 reverts. Being right doesn't justify edit-warring.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 07:04, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Glad that I cold make your day--WPPilot (talk) 07:37, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

Pretty is not a WP:LEADIMAGE qualifying factor, the requirements are clear and I tried my best to have communication with this user. It does not snow on that range, so how on earth could the picture showing the rare snow from 6years ago provide a unbiased perspective of that range?WPPilot 07:41, 4 March 2014 (UTC)(talk)

Block Evasion

LimosaCorel, who was blocked today for sockpuppeting, is evading his block by editing from a new IP address, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2606:6000:80C1:6900:C27:5D5A:F5A1:705B He has so far, already reverted one editor, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ash_Wednesday&diff=598239846&oldid=598238687 after being unable to edit with his account on the same page, http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ash_Wednesday&diff=598217112&oldid=598208511 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.177.3 (talk) 20:33, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Can you not bring it to AN/I maybe? If not, I'll look into it but I won't have time for about 8 hours, if then.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:44, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

What is AN/I? 8 hours is okay but I guarantee you that this guy is going to go ballistic between now and then, just like he did on the Lent article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.177.3 (talk) 20:50, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

WP:ANI. It's a noticeboard to get the attention of admins for emerging situations. If you haven't done something by later I'll try to look at it.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 21:37, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

OK, you can take care of it later, unless it gets really bad, in which case I'll let you know. There's also a third IP address being used by LimosaCorel, on the same article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/2606:6000:80C1:6900:E54D:20C3:B245:C208 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.123.177.3 (talk) 21:51, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

It looks like Callanecc took care of it, thanks! Thanks for your work here too, 131.123.177.3.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 15:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Rodeo Drive

Excuse me, I am not plagiarizing any webpage. I am saying things in my own words and I have gone on to cite the websites the information came from. You may not be able to see the citations because you deleted all of them from the Rodeo Drive page. Jbrubins (talk) 20:31, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

The whole Walk of Style article was copy/pasted from one of the sources. See here for proof.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:35, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

It was not copied from the website, it was reworded. But yes, I got information from it because it was valid information. After I used it, I cited the website the information was from. Jbrubins (talk) 20:42, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, ask your teacher if it was plagiarized or not, ok? you reworded it using the same words that were on the website. Anyway, if you disagree, engage on the article talk page rather than here.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:44, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

The information was taken from the website, but the sentences were reworded in order to stay away from plagiarism. Obviously I cannot change the website's information, because it is valid, known information, which is why it was included on the Wikipedia page. Jbrubins (talk) 20:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

You'd better talk with your teacher about what plagiarism is, OK?— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:49, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

I'm well aware of what it is. Thanks for your concern. Jbrubins (talk) 20:51, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

So you're aware of what it is, and yet you do it anyway? Lovely. Enjoy your educational experience.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 20:54, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

Devils Advocate

I'm just playing Devils advocate. Both sides should be fairly represented. Otherwise it would be the AP Stylebook vs relevent arguments.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 03:09, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

Don't worry about it. I never expect things to break down in a simple way to this side vs. that side. Thanks for starting the RfC.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 03:11, 9 March 2014 (UTC)

OK, thanks! And I apologized myself at the article talk page. Have a serene evening!— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 04:23, 11 March 2014 (UTC)

Close

Yes I closed it.I think the answers were obvious. More information should be added. There needs more balance. And the template should stay. After reading Atsme's comments I can see no reason to continue. I'm now going to ANI to report exactly what I've done and ask that I be blocked if it was wrong.Serialjoepsycho (talk) 04:34, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
