References

Does everything, every word, every sentence, need a bloody reference, does it?! Most of the references point to ridiculous sources anyway. Ooh, some fat dude said something on TV, it MUST be eligible for inclusion on wikipedia!

Bah! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.105.12 (talk) 22:34, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer? Yes. Long answer? WP:RS. Cheers, Yintan 22:38, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your answer, "yes", is clearly incorrect. There is a HUGE amount of unrefenced material and interpretation on wikipedia. That crap link says "based on", not "ENTIRELY, EXCLUSIVELY TOTALLY" referenced material. Do you even know what I typed, or did you just click 'n' revert?

I mean, I just clicked "random article". Here's the first paragraph:

"Digital mixes (also known as mix networks) is a system that creates hard-to-trace communications by using a chain of proxy servers. Each message is encrypted to each proxy using public key cryptography; the resulting encryption is layered like a Russian doll (except that each "doll" is of the same size) with the message as the innermost layer. Each proxy server strips off its own layer of encryption to reveal where to send the message next. If all but one of the proxy servers are compromised by the tracer, untraceability can still be achieved against some weaker adversaries."

EXACTLY ZERO REFERENCES! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.105.12 (talk) 22:52, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know there's a huge amount of unreferenced stuff on Wikipedia. It's a big problem. Adding more isn't gonna help. By the way, please sign your posts (WP:SIGHOW), thanks. Yintan 22:55, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fine. I'll delete everything I find that is unreferenced from now on. That should leave you with a couple of pages, anyway. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.105.12 (talk) 22:59, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wouldn't it be a lot easier to find references for the things you want to add? Yintan 23:02, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, but I'm kind of having fun now. Check out the Liverpool Magistrates' Court article. Looks pretty sparse now... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.105.12 (talk) 23:03, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You should have read the refs. The only unreferenced part of that article was the last sentence. Careful. Yintan 23:06, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The references were not added in the Harvard Style to which I am accustomed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.105.12 (talk) 23:07, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In that case I suggest you improve them. Cheers, Yintan 23:16, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I just improved the wrestling terms page, making it both wittier and more amusing, and you miserable greybeards deleted it! From now on I shall endeavour to make wikipedia worse, not better. Good day to you, Sir! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.105.12 (talk) 23:20, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Until we meet again, then. Yintan 23:22, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I was just kidding around, it's been fun chatting to you really... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.141.105.12 (talk) 23:29, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers, Yintan 23:57, 16 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

George Carlin

Hey, I got your message about George Carlin. I mostly just edited out the profanity in it because I personally believe articles are better read and enjoyable without cussing. It's not meant to damage anything or ruin someone's rep at all. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 123mightywarrior (talk • contribs) 12:42, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point but Wikipedia is uncensored. If the man has said "fucking" then the quotebox will say "fucking", not "f---ing" or "freaking". Kind regards, Yintan 12:48, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Will the edit remain if I signed it? How do I sign? 123mightywarrior

No, signing has nothing to do with it. Edits aren't signed, only Talkpages (see WP:SIGHOW). Just stop censoring, please, it's considered disruptive. Thanks. Yintan 14:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Bugs

Annoying. I am also getting bug reports while using Huggle. These reports are common and do not occur for reverting a single user or IP. But that bug lets me continue editing. Fai zan 13:32, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Leave a message at WP:HUGGLE, perhaps? Yintan 14:10, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No time, .... tough competition.

Viral Video

Hey,

Not sure why you removed it. On a page for Viral Videos it seemed only fitting to link to a site that categories the most-shared videos across the social web. It is not a commercial website. It's a totally free service for consumers.

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.181.2 (talk) 14:18, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because there are already plenty of links, because the link shouldn't be in a list of Wikipedia articles, and because it's not a notable site. See WP:EL. Thanks, Yintan 14:23, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

		You have won a barnstar for signing my guestbook, Thanks. Fai zan 15:03, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You don't have toilet at your home? LOL Fai zan 15:05, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, that was quick. I do, but since it's such an enormous plane I figured it must be a long walk to the toilets.

Yintan 15:06, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks to Google, but Thanks to you too, again. Fai zan 15:09, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Παρακαλώ. Νάσαι καλά! Yintan 15:12, 17 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Holbeck

The entry there is self-evidently incorrect as the Industrial Revolution was decades previous to Scholey's death. Also, almost the entire township, streets, pumps, tenants, etc., are still listed in his Will, which is on public display at the Borthwick Institute. 81.131.212.29 (talk) 10:30, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I was referring to when I asked for a source. Please add it to your edit. Thanks, Yintan 10:40, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Time to compete...

Hi Yintan, my internet has finally been fixed after a few months, so I am more competent with you at Huggle again...although I believe yours is probably faster. Cheers. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 10:37, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm not that competetive. And trust me, I've got the slowest ADSL on the planet (256 kbit/s). Yintan 11:44, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Based on Speedtest.net, my internet (the one that's fixed) is at most 16Mbps. Those few months when my net was spoilt, I was using some mobile broadband modem which was about 2Mbps. I'm a little surprised that your's is 256Kbps and you can load so fast?! Anyway, I don't really mean competition, just about who reverts first, because I frequently get beaten by others (even Twinklers or undoers). Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 14:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LOL the same here. Based on speedtest.net, my speed is never more than 8 Mbps. But still Huggle lags sometime. Fai zan 14:16, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

1.75 Mbps, according to Speednet. But you know about the tortoise and the hare, right? Yintan 14:32, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, I am the tortoise here. Fai zan 14:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yintan, I'm scratching my head. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 14:51, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why? Itchy? Perhaps you should wash your hair more often?

Yintan 14:56, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, because I'm puzzled (I think you already know). Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 14:58, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Vinayaka

I have added reference to all the quoted material from UGC site. UGC stands for University grants commission. It is the sole authority of recognition,accreditation of Universities in India as per the parliamentary acts. Just because some people don't know about this university or ar biased against it doesn't warrant wikpedia to make it look doubtful. That way why don't you go and keep on adding that tag to Harvard university and IIT, Indias too. they don't have this much refernce there. Just because you don't know about a univ doesn't make it needing 100s of citations. I know a few people posting on forums that Osmania univeristy is non existent university in hyderabad from which fake degrees are issued. so are you going to delete Osmania university page on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.23.34.39 (talk) 10:57, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You misunderstand. Please read the message about sources on your talkpag and please read WP:COPYVIO. The material you added to the article was copied from vmrf.edu.in and can't be on Wikipedia. Also, vandalizing the article[1] doesn't help, nor does insulting me[2]. Thanks, Yintan 11:04, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Navgraha temple in nasik, Maharashtra , India

Hi yin tan Wanted to add the newly constructed Nine Planet (Navgraha temples ) "Shri Anna Ganapati Navgraha Siddhapeetham, Vihitgaon , Nasik Road ,Nasik ,Maharashtra , India Temples in the list of Maharashtra — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anna Navgraha (talk • contribs) 11:38, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Anna. As I said in the editsummary, adding its complete address is unnecessary. The name alone will do. Kind regards, Yintan 11:40, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Javal is not jawal

Hi Im a bit baffled by this comment. Javal has nothing to do with Jawal as it is a french family name (google it) and thus it is a constructive contribution to dissociate the two. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.124.85 (talk) 14:56, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I fail to see how deleting a valid redirect is a constructive contribution. Until there is an article about Javal, the family, the redirect is fine. If the Javal family is notable at all, that is (see WP:NOTABILITY). Also, you might like to leave an explanation in the edit summary or discuss your plans on the Talkpage. Regards, Yintan 15:01, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

It s coming but i cant do it if the link keeps reverted. As per the french page of javal it certainly qualifies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.124.85 (talk) 15:05, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Have you seen this: Javal family? Redirecting to that article would be a much better solution than deleting. Yintan 15:08, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No I hadnt. Great so i dont have to write it. I'm not sure how to create a redirection?

I'll do it. Yintan 15:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. Happy editing! Yintan 15:13, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict × 2) (talk page stalker) In future, just place #REDIRECTName of article on the redirect page. Cheers.

Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 15:13, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the code of the redirect page it's obvious. Yintan 15:21, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.124.85 (talk) 15:14, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, there was an error. The code is supposed to be #REDIRECT[[Name of article]]. Cheers. Arctic Kangaroo (✉ • ✎) 15:19, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Undid Ox Pak Soc Edit

I do not know why you undid it; Oxford Brookes is not a part of Oxford University. Then why is the webmaster from Oxford Brookes listed on the Oxford University Page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.1.157.27 (talk) 16:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Don't play dumb[3]. Yintan 21:11, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think what I wrote are not constructive?

My modification on Angkor Wat are the facts on why they became Buddhist because some are too dumb to understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.1.69.91 (talk) 21:34, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This[4] was your work? Then I suggest you begin with trying to understand WP:NPOV and WP:RS. Regards, Yintan 23:03, 18 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi

Hi,

Sorry about that. I just wanted to check how effectively wiki works.

I had a college time experience when one of the guys changed our college ranking in wikipedia and then shared the link.

But one of my friend pointed out that in wikipedia anyone can edit. Sorry about it again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 111.93.12.11 (talk) 11:09, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No sweat. Please use WP:SANDBOX for tests and such. Disruptive editing, even as a test, is not appreciated and could eventually get you blocked. Cheers, Yintan 12:04, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Nurul Islam Edit

I recently made a change to Nurul Islam's (broadcaster) wikipedia page and you removed it due to having no source. The change that I made was to add the names of his children and I did not provide a source as one of them is my father and I did not have a relevant source to prove this.

I would be very grateful if you could re-do this change as it would make a difference to my family to be remembered alongside their loved one.

Many thanks, Isobel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.156.49.79 (talk) 23:09, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, Isobel, but Wikipedia needs verifiable sources for its information, especially when it concerns biographies. Kind regards, Yintan 23:15, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Akahi Nui

I assume you are an admin. Could you do anything about 212.214.13.26 who is now operating under 213.86.93.33? Using the personal website of either Akahi Nui or his followers, he is editing the article of to make him sound like a legitimate royal descendants when there are no prove any of his genealogical claims are legitimate. I reverted him for now but I know he will be back. --KAVEBEAR (talk) 05:28, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Kavebear. No, I'm not, and I'm pretty sure I've explained to you before that the place to report vandalism is WP:AIV. Kind regards, Yintan 10:43, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Top 300 Home Run Hitters

Hi Yintan, I'm the user that deleted part of your "Players to Watch" section of the Top 300 Home Run Hitters. Under Wikipedia rules we have to keep that section updated daily. Traditionally, that section has only listed players within 40 home runs of the cutoff to make the Top 300. It's arbitrary but it makes sense - it's nice to know who's coming up but keeping track of more than a dozen or so players every day who aren't even close to the cutoff is a big hassle. Hence, I think the cutoff should be Brian McCann, who's 40 home runs shy of the cutoff. Otherwise updating the section is a greater hassle than it's worth.

Best, Bobby — Preceding unsigned comment added by BobbyBigWheel (talk • contribs) 13:30, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bobby. First, it's not my "Players to Watch" section. I know f all about baseball

. But you removed a chunk of the article without any discussion or edit summary. That's bound to raise the eyebrows of RCP patrollers like myself. I understand your reasoning but maybe it's better if you discuss it on the article's Talkpage first. Otherwise other editors will (probably) undo the change again. Cheers, Yintan 13:45, 20 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

wheatgrass page

You claimed I did not leave a citation ,and I did. So what is wrong with this citation: http://www.jbc.org/content/152/2/215.short

Dr. Kohler is a renown scientist. Why are you disregarding his work????

Further, you have a chart on that page that is clearly bogus. It is comparing wheatgrass juice, which was probably grown in someone's kitchen, and trying to claim that this was the same as what Dr. Schnabel produced. That is a boldfaced lie! Then you compare this bogus nonsense with brocolli and spinach with no reference whatsoever to how much of each plant was used, what form it was in, etc. How dare you claim that my reference from a very well known scientist published in a respected journal is not legit when you allow that bogus and absurd chart, which has no reference whatsoever, to stand?

I would set up an account, but first I wanted to see if what they say about your supporting non-scientific baloney over scientific fact is indeed true, and it appear it is. If you want to contact me about your organizations complete lack of integrity, I can be reached at ron@cybold.com.

Sincerely,

Ron Seibold
