Some bubble tea for you!

Excellent anti-vandal work, go buy some bubble tea for yourself (irl), or some other food if you don't like bubble tea. Consider applying for some rollbacker/pending changes reviewer role, you seem to be a nice editor :) Justiyaya (talk) 07:26, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

@Justiyaya: Thanks for the tea! I would, except I will get sucked into it again and I can't stop! Marriage and life suffer... Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:29, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Oh... if you feel addicted to editing Wikipedia consider taking a forced wikibreak Justiyaya (talk) 08:29, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

@Justiyaya: I'd need an app so my significant other could force a lockout. Also should tie it into my calendar. ;o) I'm over doing it for tonight. I should be doing other things! Thanks for the advise! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 09:10, 19 June 2021 (UTC)

Mannur

• Moved from my user page to here. Adakiko (talk) 05:54, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

I don't think. I did anything wrong with the edits on Mannur. It is my village. Pls can you undo the changes. I think I have to escalate this to another admin in the Wikipedia team. @Viswaprabha — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anoopmannur (talk • contribs) 05:08, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

@Anoopmannur: I moved your edit content from my user page: user:Adakiko to here as talk goes on one's talk page, not my user page. See help:talk pages

You are quite welcome to bring this up with anyone you wish so long as it doesn't amount to wp:Canvassing. Discussion about article content generally should go on the article's talk page: talk:Mannur

In regard to your email to me, I agree, I don't have much idea about Mannur. I didn't undo it for the factual correctness of your edit, but the style, wp:verifiability, and formatting of your edit. The latter I have a bit more knowledge of than Mannur. You might be able to get help from one of your fellow countrymen at Wikipedia talk:Noticeboard for India-related topics Cheers Adakiko (talk) 05:54, 7 July 2021 (UTC)

Ukrah or Nagarukhra topic

Dear friend, i here to pay attention to the article of Ukrah. Actually Ukrah is not the Village, its a Small sattlement under the Village of Nagarukhra. Thats why, here i wish to you to change the name of the article Ukrah into Nagarukhra. Even you can check in google and its every govt. names are included as Nagarukhra, Ukrah just a 'mouja' in Nagarukhra. Here my request to you, please solve the naming problem of the article.

Oliver Twist page

Hi Adakiko, I just saw the message you sent me about my edit to the Oliver Twist page, and the edit related to the quotation of Nancy as a 'whoring slut.' I still think the quote, which I think is from Frank Donovan, should be omitted because it doesn't add any important information about Nancy and doesn't use neutral language to describe Nancy e.g. it doesn't merely say 'Nancy was a prostitute who was killed by Sikes.' Apologies if I sound annoyed, don't mean to, and I'm new to this Wikipedia editing, but I'm not sure why my edit was considered unhelpful? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raccy745 (talk • contribs) 07:46, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

@Raccy745: You were wp:edit warring which is strongly frowned upon. If you want to make such a change, I would recommend discussing the issue on talk:Oliver Twist and reach wp:consensus before proceeding. Personally, I have no issue with the wording towards the made-up character Nancy. Resources you might find useful: wp:help, wp:dispute resolution, and wp:BRD. The help pages accessible in the left-most column. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 07:57, 30 September 2021 (UTC)

Undid your reversion of the Tommy Kirk article

I was in the midst of touchups on the Tommy Kirk article when you reverted it. I saw you reason "unexplained deletion". Having checked through the change comparison, I suspect you might have reacted without careful inspection to the big gap after "ON TELEVISION", which I did not delete, but rather converted to lower case. The change comparison software seems to have failed to recover sync until long after that, but if you check the text on both sides of the gap, I believe you'll see that it's all there.

All the changes that I made (or at least intended to make) are inserting blank spaces to allow the citations to break in sensible spots (so that I can compare citations), inserting non-breaking spaces in some dates, and converting as many text-only citations as coneniently possible into template format. If you find that I've exceeded modest touchups of the internals, please go ahead and re-do your reversion, but kindly check carefully this time. I'm reasonably confident that you didn't do so before.

Citations missing from JH page

Hello,

Regarding your message about editing the Johnny Hollow page and missing citations. Yes, I was working on getting those. I was talking with one of the band members and I'm helping them update their page. I was going to work on the citations later. However, I can post-pone putting the info up until I get them instead. ClumsyRaven (talk) 19:38, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

@ClumsyRaven: It is a good idea to add citations with your edit. There are many people who monitor changes and will undo unsourced content on sight (like me). See WP:CHALLENGE. It's difficult to save a changed page to see if it gets added later, so they undo immediately. Often to the consternation of the editors and some veteran Wikipedia editors. You do need to mind that WP:COI! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 21:02, 13 November 2021 (UTC)

Josh janakiraman (talk) 07:53, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

this is the anonymous editor vandalising that page 175.145.84.9, reported him to many..but no active response ,for that user's disruptive edits.. Kindly check the history of article meena, for what that user done on fan base. Josh janakiraman (talk) 07:55, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

@Josh janakiraman: You had deleted content and source without leaving an edit summary in that group of edits, which is why I reverted you. I would strongly recommend leaving edit summaries. If there is significant recent vandalism, request page protection at wp:RFPP. Suggest reading other RfPPs to get an idea of how to make a brief request.
Please read wp:vandalism as to what is and is not considered such. It has a fairly specific meaning on Wikipedia. Another editor called it a wp:content dispute. See wp:dispute resolution I have no interest in the subject of that article. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 08:01, 29 November 2021 (UTC)

Important notice

Hi Adakiko,

regarding the article Mark Sargeant, please keep the following points in mind.

• Per WP:ONUS, part of the verifiability policy, the onus is on you to gain a consensus for the inclusion of material.
• Per WP:BLPCRIME, part of the BLP policy, "a living person accused of a crime is presumed innocent until convicted by a court of law."
• Edit warring is not part of the recommended dispute resolution methods.

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in articles about living or recently deceased people, and edits relating to the subject (living or recently deceased) of such biographical articles. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:46, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: Thanks for your thoughtful message pointing this out! Need to stop and think. Sort of thought about it, but I guess I got sucked in. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 11:55, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

No worries, thank you very much for your recent changes patrolling. I've positively noticed your work on the other AIV cases. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 11:57, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

~ ToBeFree I also may have erred here. Some brand new user kept deleting a sexual harassment allegation that was a few years old and appeared verifiable. I suspected the user was solely trying to remove negative information from an article, possibly due to a COI or other bias. Please could you confirm if my reverts were problematic? I know BLPs are super important. Thanks Such-change47 (talk) 12:00, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Reverting actually unexplained content removal is usually fine. The removal was indeed unexplained first, so I can't complain about interpreting this removal as likely intentional damage. Most similar article content removal is vandalism after all. The user then continued to remove the material, this time providing edit summaries explaining their view. In most cases, when someone explicitly complains about "defamatory content", that's a good point to stop reverting and to thoroughly analyze the situation. Even if you are completely convinced that the material a) qualifies for inclusion in the article (WP:UNDUE may be a concern), and b) is completely perfectly verifiable: Even then, we should wonder whether it's really worth insisting on keeping the material. Someone strongly objects to its inclusion, so the best next step is starting a discussion with them. This could be done by creating a new section on the article's talk page, and then inviting the user to that section. {{Please see}} can be a helpful template for doing so.

Especially if the case is clear, it should be easy to find a consensus for including the material. Opinions can be invited by leaving a neutral discussion invitation message at a relevant noticeboard such as WP:NPOVN or WP:BLPN, or by requesting a third opinion.

A common problem, however, is that the other party doesn't like to discuss. You invite them to a discussion, they stay silent, you restore the material after a week of silence, and they suddenly revert you again. Dealing with such cases is described by WP:DISCFAIL, one of the very few essays (non-policies, non-guidelines) that are actually worth reading in my opinion.

To answer your actual question, Such-change47, mmh, well, you've joined the edit war when it was already at a point to better stop. So I'd say yes, that was problematic, but it's a common and understandable mistake. No worries. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:16, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

~ ToBeFree thanks very much. Such-change47 (talk) 12:18, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

@ToBeFree:, you're welcome! And, thank you for all of your admin work. I don't know how you admins can deal with this sort of thing! It's some real dedication!

Do you think I should get rollback rights and use Huggle? The Christmas season is soon upon us. Cheers Adakiko (talk) 12:04, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the kind feedback. :)

I'll probably grant rollback on Christmas; you won't need to request it. Granting it right now would be a bit early, though. There are two weeks remaining during which I can see that no further edit warring occurred. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 12:21, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

@ToBeFree: WP:DISCFAIL is something I've been looking for. I've essentially have been winging it; overwhelmed with policy that isn't easily comprehensible and implementable. Thanks again! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 12:28, 11 December 2021 (UTC)

Merry Christmas and a happy rollback

Hello Adakiko: Enjoy the holiday season and winter solstice if it's occurring in your area of the world, and thanks for your work to maintain, improve and expand Wikipedia. After reviewing your request, I have added your account to the rollback group. Keep in mind these things when using rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Users should be informed (or warned) after their edits have been reverted. If warnings repeatedly don't help, WP:ANI is the default place to go. In cases of very clear ongoing intentional damage to the encyclopedia, WP:AIV can be used.
• Reverting someone's edits may confuse or upset them. Whenever other users message you on your talk page, please take the time to respond to their concerns; accountability is important. For most users who message you, the tone and quality of your answer will permanently influence their opinion about Wikipedia in general.
• Because the plain default rollback link does not provide any explanatory edit summary, it must not be used to revert good faith contributions, even if these contributions are disruptive. Take the time to write a proper summary whenever you're dealing with a lack of neutrality or verifiability; a short explanation like "[[WP:NPOV|not neutral]]" or "[[WP:INTREF|Please provide a citation]]" is helpful.
• Rollback may never be used to edit war, which you'll notice to be surprisingly tempting in genuine content disputes. Please especially keep the three-revert rule in mind. If you see others edit warring, please file a report at WP:ANEW. The most helpful essay I've ever seen is WP:DISCFAIL; it is especially important for those who review content regularly.
• If you encounter private information or threats of physical harm during your patrols, please quickly use Special:EmailUser/Oversight or Special:EmailUser/Emergency; ideally bookmark these pages now. See WP:OS and WP:EMERGENCY for details. If you're regularly patrolling recent changes, you will need both contacts sooner or later, and you'll be happy about the bookmarks.
• Use common sense.

To try rollback for the first time, you may like to make an edit to WP:Sandbox, and another one, and another one, and then revert the row with one click. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into trouble or have any questions about rollback. Thank you for your time and work in cleaning up Wikipedia. Happy editing!

Best regards,
~ ToBeFree (talk) 00:11, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar

Many thanks for amending the Neovenator page for me. My small contribution was collected over a two week period but was not recognised as important until I showed my finds to Dr Phil Manning [Professor of Paleontology at the College of Charleston in South Carolina and Professor of Natural History at the University of Manchester (UK).] He immediately recognised them as from the thereopod Neoventator and contacted Steve Hutt at the Dinosaur Isle Museum, Although fragmentary they indicate an animal much bigger than the holotype and the possibility the site was a 'predator trap' given this was the fourth individual from a relatively small area. Pliosaur68 (talk) 14:36, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

@Pliosaur68: Thanks for the barnstar! Interesting find. Are you a trained archeologist? What school? My sister-in-law hunts fossils as a semi-hobby. She and her husband buy and sell them at Tuscon and in the Sacramento area. Thanks again! Adakiko (talk) 00:44, 4 January 2022 (UTC)

In defense of Ligers

I have a very valid reason to remove info from the Liger article. You see the article talks about Panthera Hybrids being susceptible to "diseases". This is obvious evidence that Wikipedians hate Ligers. For starters, this animal rights groups never gave any actual evidence of weather they did had diseases or not. Second, this is in reference to the Liger, not Panthera hybrids as a whole. Third, they stated that only with captive animals, but they never said anything about wild Panthera hybrids. Not to mention that sayin g that Lions cannot breed with Tigers is incorrect. Its scientifically confirmed that all species within the same genus are able to be attracted, mate and successfully crossbreed. There is also evidence that Panthera hybrids where very common in ancient times:https://markgelbart.wordpress.com/tag/tiger-x-snow-leopard-hybrid/. Not to mention you gave a reference to Carol Bazkin, who has a reputation of being hypocritical for saying that she did not want to see big cats in captivity yet she does exactly the same. Not to mention there is the possibility she feed her husband to tigers. There is also evidence that Humans mated with Neanderthals, this is no different from Panthera hybrids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 56FireLeafs (talk • contribs) 08:01, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

About the European Bon

The page talks about how the european bison was SUPPOSEDELY a hybrid even though there is evidence that its result of incomplete lineage sorting during divergence of Bos and Bison from their common ancestors and that the European Bison is the descendant of Bison Shoenski, and the fact that the steppe bison lived alongside the european bison. But even more, there is evidence that breeding bos with bison has result in genetic pollution of bison. 56FireLeafs 7:15 January 17 2022 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 56FireLeafs (talk • contribs) 00:21, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Removal of false, libelous, and retracted reference

The revisions which were just made to "Young Warriors" aka "Graduates of Malibu High" are accurate. The LA Times article referenced was false and libelous and retracted by the publication.

Please do not undo the legitimate revision. CineMG (talk) 07:17, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

@Nick Moyes: This question was also asked on user talk:CineMG#Removal of false, libelous, and retracted reference Thanks for the clean-up and note! Cheers Adakiko (talk) 18:21, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

After becoming more familiar with Wikipedia policies I understand the reasons for your concerns and undoing my edits. I certainly had no intention of creating an edit war. The intention is to remove defamatory content which was discredited and the false claims acknowledged and reversed in writing by the perpetrator. The newspaper article containing the false and defamatory content was linked to multiple Wikipedia subjects. I will gladly locate and provide the substantiating references and documentation to support the need for my edits on the pages of the affected subjects. The statement - which follows - by @ToBeFree on another Adakiko section is directly relevant here: "In most cases, when someone explicitly complains about "defamatory content", that's a good point to stop reverting and to thoroughly analyze the situation. Even if you are completely convinced that the material a) qualifies for inclusion in the article (WP:UNDUE may be a concern), and b) is completely perfectly verifiable: Even then, we should wonder whether it's really worth insisting on keeping the material."
