Help with another obscure author?
Hello, I noticed you did a lot of great work on the article I created for the British writer Mrs George de Horne Vaizey. I've just created another one for which there is even more scant biographical information, though I found an apparently comprehensive biography, Amélie Claire Leroy. If you would like to take a look/check that would be wonderful. Istara (talk) 13:42, 19 October 2013 (UTC)
- I did a bit of gnoming on the article, but you are right that it could do with some more references. Favonian (talk) 18:27, 20 October 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you so much! So strange and sad how there are all these hugely prolific authors from a century or so ago that are nearly lost from memory. She wasn't even listed in the Oxford Companion to Children's Literature. I managed to download an ebook of one of Leroy/"Stuart's" works, and it is highly readable. I'm planning to buy some used copies on eBay, and if there are any biographical notes in there, I'll add them. Istara (talk) 08:16, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Vandalism
before you assume i did it on purpose check again. It wasnt me. I left my computer on and saw waht had happen so i changed it back. Dont ever accuse someone of doing something — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sonic123cool (talk • contribs) 20:44, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
- Are you implying that we should treat your account as compromised? Favonian (talk) 20:46, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
Incorrect title of the "Millennials" page
Thank you for pointing out the problem with re-directs. However, the name of the "Millennials" page should be "Millennial Generation" -- not "Millennials".
For example, the name of Generation X's page isn't "Xers" and the name of the Baby Boomers' page isn't "Boomers". How do we get this changed to Millennial Generation? 172.250.31.151 (talk) 15:36, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- The instructions for starting a new discussion are at WP:RM/CM, but as the name has been discussed very recently, some "exasperation" may be expected if you start a new round. Favonian (talk) 15:48, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
Reverts on salutation (SAW)
Hi,
You recently reverted few changes made by me on the "Barelvi and Zahiri and Salafi" page.
I saw your message on my talk page and you have yourself mentioned that it must have a neutral perspective, so you can, if you want, start a discussion on this topic, and you will come to know that all the Barelvis, and the Zahiris and the Salafis will agree to this point that in ISLAM it is always mentioned either (SAW) or (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam) after the name of our Prophet Muhammed (Sallallahu alaihi wasallam), even if only Muhammed is mentioned or Prophet Muhammed, in both cases reference is being made to our Prophet (SAW) only. And I believe that WP:SAWW / WP:PBUH needs to be modified.If you want, start a discussion on this topic as well.
See the "Evidence from Quran" section on the this wiki page. [1]
Please forgive me. I didn't mean to hurt you. Thank you.

- I am well aware of the issues concerning the salutations, but unless the WP:PBUH guideline is changed, it will be enforced. Favonian (talk) 20:17, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- @Furqanbhai:, it is not Favonian that needs to start a discussion on changing the Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles it is you. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 07:23, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- @CambridgeBayWeather:, ok then, please tell me from where to start a new discussion on wikipedia so that anyone can participate? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Furqanbhai (talk • contribs) 12:12, 24 October 2013 (UTC)
- It would be at Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Islam-related articles following the instructions at Wikipedia:Requests for comment#Request comment on articles, policies, or other non-user issues. CambridgeBayWeather (talk) 14:41, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Possible sockpuppet
Hello. I'd appreciate it if you could please look at this discussion and see what you make of it, particularly in terms of the sockpuppet angle. (It was suggested I ask Dennis Brown, but since he's on a break, I turned to you instead.) Thank you for any light you may be able to shed on this matter. - Biruitorul Talk 14:42, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
- I tend to agree with Drmies: not quite a couple of WP:DUCKs, but there is quite a bit of correlation between the two accounts. I you follow the learned Dutchman's advice, there should be enough meat on the SPI report too galvanize the CheckUsers into action. Favonian (talk) 14:50, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
- Right on, esp. the "learned" part. Start the SPI, Biruitorul. I thought again about reverting, but there's no rush to get this right. Drmies (talk) 17:53, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

sry, I didn't know about these rules, I'll read the rules more carefully, I did the same on a page concerning "Salona" thx for the warning..... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mvukovic (talk • contribs) 13:55, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- No great harm done. I undid the edit to the Salona article while I was at it. Favonian (talk) 13:58, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
Disruption on my talk page
Hello, I noticed that you have been heavily involved in fighting a sock farm that would never stop vandalizing my talk page (and the talk page of others). In another words, I have seen you block multiple sockpuppet accounts and reverted their vandalism. I have filed a SPI case here, you are invited to make a comment. NHRHS2010 the student pilot ✈ 02:08, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

I don't know English. [Google Translate] Chinese characters on Vietnamese Wikipedia are so Nipponese Dog Calvero added, it is not reliable. Nipponese Dog Calvero and the other puppet of Nipponese Dog Calvero frequently sabotage Vietnamese Wikipedia and Chinese Wikipedia.
IP 61.228.235.129 is Nipponese Dog Calvero Hsumei (talk) 12:25, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I don't speak any of those languages. On the other hand, 61.228.235.129 (talk) is obviously a sock and up to no good, so I've reverted and blocked him. Favonian (talk) 12:32, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
Mandarin Chinese
Hi, The Holy Four (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) created one more move discussion, at Talk:Mandarin Chinese#Requested move to Mandarin dialects, in case you would like to decide what to do with it. Aɴɢʀ (talk) 20:52, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, I noticed. What keeps me from closing it here and now is that another editor supported the proposal. I did leave this message for the closing admin. Favonian (talk) 20:56, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
IP:68.102.112.91
This IP appears to be spamming the category: X...anti-communist across numerous articles.[1] I removed this category from Henri, Count of Paris after reading the article and finding no mention of this individual as an anti-communist.[2] Other articles involved are clearly out of my area of "expertise", so I thought you should be notified. I would notify the IP, but I have had few results in getting an IP to explain their reasoning. --Kansas Bear (talk) 00:25, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
- It's certainly disruptive, so I have left this message on their talk page. Hopefully they get the point this time. Favonian (talk) 16:21, 18 November 2013 (UTC)
Eleusinian Mysteries or Eleusisinian Mysteries?
Eleusis... different place?
Eleus-inian
Eleus --- I've seen this page before... and it has always been written Eleus.... and people have gone to Eleus...
How could you change the root?
Would it now be Eleusisinian Mysteries... instead of Eleusinian Mysteries?
Eleus- Elijah - Elias - Eli - Ellis - Illyah - Etcetera...
Eleusis.... why would that alter from the Eleusinian Mysteries?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:470:D:E89:3469:E5EE:8BE3:86C3 (talk) 19:00, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

November 2013
Please do not delete or edit legitimate talk page comments, as you did at Talk:Autism. Such edits are disruptive and appear to be vandalism. Please re-frame from making edit's that are offensive to people with disabilities to provoke responses, the fact is I was told to bring it to the talk page, which is what I did. There was no 'Vandalism', all was that was done was added a reply to the 'talk' board to discuss getting the page changed from 'disease' to 'condition', the fact is the page was offensive on the main page for Autism, is being used to spread false information to discriminate/provoke attack Autism to make out that Autism is a disease, I'm deeply offended by this. Continue removal/vandalism will lead me to reporting the issue to the moderators. The fact that you even tried to accuse me of what you're doing yourself is offensive. So I'm requesting you cease, desist before I take further action --Ronnie42 (talk) 11:57, 24 November 2013 (UTC)

There has been a mis-understanding, I have posted this on my talk page too, this seems to be what the confusion is about. Link here of conversation with admin link here.
