Turkish brigade modification

Ive been noted that changes couldnt be made, even tho the original artical on Wikipedia is based on 2 sources where the facts are confused, which is evident to all who read the original sources, and is in all a copy paste from a blog. As an academic, i feel like its a grave danger to spread wrong information of history, specially on a page like wikipedia where many goes for knowledge. And the changes i made wasnt accepted. So the question is, what is your goal with this ? To make correct information easy accesable; or let any morron passing by "writing history" ?

In academic circuls, wikipedia isnt held on high regards, and with this incident, i can now fully understand why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.78.183 (talk) 00:14, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Anyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, so long as they do so in a productive manner. If you believe that the article was biased, you should attempt to rewrite it using reliable sources. G S Palmer (talk) 12:50, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

I did, and it was changed once again back to the blog copy pase. That leaves me to think if the managment isnt biased as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.78.183 (talk) 14:50, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

If you do so in a manner that could be viewed as an improvement, as opposed to vandalism, then you will (most likely) not be reverted. G S Palmer (talk) 16:15, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

How can we improve wikipedia?

how can we? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.168.249 (talk) 13:20, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Well, if you're looking for things to do, then you could start by looking for and fixing typos and the like. That's what I started with, but everyone has different interests, so I can't really suggest what you might like to do. G S Palmer (talk) 16:18, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Do you often revert edits without a reason?

Hi G S! I see that you have reverted an edit I made on Democratic Republic of the Congo - but you didn't give a reason. I gave a very clear reason for my edit and I sent a message to the editor whose work I deleted. What are your thoughts? Francis Hannaway (talk) 20:29, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I was kind of hurrying at the moment, and on a quick inspection it looked like you had removed an infobox. In response to your question, I probably don't use edit summaries as much as I should - but I'm working on it. G S Palmer (talk) 23:04, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion of Maggie Jimenez

G S Palmer, I work for Shine Entertainment, the agency responsible for Maggie Jimenez endorsements and other marketing ventures. We don't have a reliable source for the page we are creating, however we can assure you all of the information is true. I have included her Linkedin as form of reference. Thank you, Lcrocha Lcrocha (talk) 21:25, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

I believe you: however, the policy is quite clear in that all biographies must have reliable sources. You may want to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons to get a better understanding of the subject. G S Palmer (talk) 23:23, 12 May 2014 (UTC)

About Neelmani Content

The Content about Neelmani, which I posted from this IP address is constructive one

Neelmani is a name of the person, for which I have posted, as far as earlier content is concerned it is about the film 60 years, old, so, not to be bothered, the Neelmani's content should be published, since there are lots of fans of him, also he has his own personal web in search engine too www.neelmani.co.in.

I will from this IP will make regular updates on the Topic Neelmani.

Thanks a lot........ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.244.221.135 (talk) 17:04, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Please read Notability is not temporary. Just because the film is old does not mean it is no longer notable. If you wish to create an article about a person named Neelmani, please consider creating a new article at Neelmani (person) or some related title. However, before you do so, please consider reading Wikipedia:Notability (people). G S Palmer (talk) 17:16, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Desperate Character

Actually my edit to this page was accurate, check it out! --217.43.211.210 (talk) 17:11, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

I have self-reverted to restore your text. You might still want to modify the link a bit, because on first glance it appears to be a violation of WP:EGG. G S Palmer (talk) 17:24, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

Doctor Who

Hi. About which episodes Rachel Talalay will direct: based on how the past directors for series 8 have been announced I believe it's a reasonable assumption that it's those episodes she'll direct. 101090ABC (talk) 20:22, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I'd like to add that the listing is only for now in any case, since episodes will in any case be shifted around. This is even for the other directors. 101090ABC (talk) 20:24, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

However likely it seems, it would still be WP:SPECULATION, and therefore has no place in the article. G S Palmer (talk) 20:29, 14 May 2014 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm WheresTristan. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, Lysica (disambiguation), and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. WheresTristan 00:27, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated

Hi, I'm WheresTristan. I wanted to let you know that I saw the page you reviewed, José Rubén Figueroa Smutny, and have un-reviewed it again. If you have any questions, please ask them on my talk page. Thank you. WheresTristan 00:27, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

What was the purpose of un-reviewing that? Are there any outstanding problems with the article? G S Palmer (talk) 00:45, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Lady Art Historians

Dear G S Palmer,

Hello!

I very much appreciate your desire to neaten up the title of the page on art historians who happen to be women, but it is kind of important to me to retain the original title on the grounds that they are art historians first, and then women. From my perspective it is a feminist title, I chose it for specific reasons, and while it might not roll off the tongue, I admit, it is actually exactly what I want the list to be...if you see what I mean.

User:86.174.240.211 is at it again

Hello, I take it you're an admin. You should check my talk page, the guy is at it again with his personal attacks.

He left this message, "I'm a dear friend of ambassador Domecq, all your messages will be sent to the embassy. CODE NAME: AMOR, Greetings to my friends residing in the Philippines."

He's impersonating another professional diplomat. PacificWarrior101 (talk) 04:58, 19 May 2014 (UTC)PacificWarrior101

@PacificWarrior101: Sorry, I'm not an admin. I will say, it's pretty obvious (in my eyes) that this user has some agenda they're trying to push (though I have no idea what it is). Your best bet would be to contact Atama (talk · contribs), the admin who dealt with the original thread at ANI. They said they were going to keep an eye on the page. G S Palmer (talk) 12:54, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Mo Alexander

I'm confused. Why did you choose to delete the page about Mo Alexander the comedian that was quoted by multiple sources about Monica Lewinski but make a page 2 days later for Mo Alexander the football player? Shouldn't this also be under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. He's a forth round pick to the Rams. How is that important or significant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Penemue70 (talk • contribs) 02:03, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Penemue70, you'll note that I didn't create the new page under that title: it was created by Yankees10 (talk · contribs). That being said, I don't recall how your article looked when I CSD'd it, but it must have had some problem or it wouldn't have been eligible for speedy deletion.

The reason Maurice Alexander (American football) is notable (or will be - possibly WP:TOOSOON) is because he does (or will) meet WP:NGRIDIRON, one of the subsections of the notability guideline. G S Palmer (talk) 13:09, 20 May 2014 (UTC)

IBCPirates

I'm sorry, what? --IBCPirates (talk) 20:30, 21 May 2014 (UTC)IBCPirates

You'll have to give me a bit more context than that if I'm to figure out what you're talking about, IBCPirates. G S Palmer (talk) 20:33, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Well, what you just did! This isn't the first time somebody has deleted an article that I was in the process of creating....--IBCPirates (talk) 20:36, 21 May 2014 (UTC) So, my question is, I'm sorry, what? --IBCPirates (talk) 20:42, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

• The reason I nominated I miss you (Avril Levine) for deletion (it hasn't been deleted yet) is that it doesn't contain any content other than a rephrasing of the title, meaning that it meets criteria A3 (No content) of the Criteria for speedy deletion. If you wish to prevent it's deletion, simply add a few sentences describing the subject of the article, which will make it automatically disqualified for deletion under that criterion.

• Now, you say that you've had articles you were working on deleted before. Perhaps, instead of creating the article without any content, and then working on it, you should draft it in userspace or use Wikipedia:Articles for creation. To draft in your userspace, either create it in your sandbox or search for User:IBCPirates/YOURARTICLENAMEHERE and select the Start the User:IBCPirates/YOURARTICLENAMEHERE page option. This will give you the chance to develop the article to a sufficient level that it can't be speedy deleted upon being moved to mainspace. G S Palmer (talk) 23:03, 21 May 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thank you. So, how could I start a sandbox? I'm new on wikipedia if you couldn't already tell...--IBCPirates (talk) 18:03, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

List of women art historians

Hi there. It was me who began (therefore also left halfway :-) the dividing into sections. Only recently I noticed that there were no divisions and began doing that, thinking it could be useful. However, as I expressed in the edit summary I left the rest to when the article pass AfD test, Thanks for your contribution. Cheers. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 21:57, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Kosovo

Could you kindly help me with a Kosovo template at Balkans, I could not find it anywhere. Thank you. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 22:04, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Not sure why you came to me with this question, but are you referring to Template:Country data Kosovo? That's the only "Kosovo template" I could find on the page.

Hope that helps! G S Palmer (talk) 23:36, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you, in the end I think I did it. Phew, I had no idea it was so difficult to place a small flag icon!.. Cheers. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 19:46, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

A cup of tea for you!

Fair enough on the order of Wilmhursts eps for Season 8. But surely its been confirmed that Talalay is directing Eps 9 & 10? A partial check would be great. Cheers, timescylon Timescylon (talk) 14:13, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Well, the only evidence so far actually points to her directing the finale. But that's just a rumor. Best to leave it all out until actually confirmed by the BBC. G S Palmer (talk) 14:24, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Im not a sock

Stop your assumption. Im not sock puppet. You just assume. I had made a page and you assume any one as sock. Well i had contributed. Not vandalised. Checkout my history. And dare 少林足球 (talk) 14:23, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for leaving me a note: I have done as you requested (checked out your history) and have opened a sockpuppet investigation against you at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/TekkenJinKazama. G S Palmer (talk) 14:58, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

And thus the boomerang comes back around. TutterMouse (talk · contribs) asked me earlier today if this was a TJK sock. I was sure they were, but didn't have the time to put a good SPI together. Fortunately, you did and got this latest one handled. Thanks, appreciate it! Ravensfire (talk) 15:59, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

@Ravensfire: another interesting thing I found: User:TheRedPenOfDooom (SPI) is probably another one of his socks, just (as far as I can tell) unconnected. Very similar to his ChanderForYoou/Chanderforyou ploy. G S Palmer (talk) 16:31, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Oh wow - absolutely agree. That connection is pretty obvious in hindsight. I'll let the admin who handled that SPI know and suggest they have that one moved under TJK. Ravensfire (talk) 16:39, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
	Nice job with getting all those TJK IP socks, this is probably going to be ongoing but it's good to know someone is keeping up with this guy even if it's just whack-a-mole now. Still, keep it up! tutterMouse (talk) 18:47, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Declined speedy

Just a note to let you know that I declined your speedy on Spero Energy because a quick Google search suggests that it might just meet WP:CORP. I've also suggested to the article creator that the article should be moved to a sandbox while it's under development. If he/she doesn't take up this offer, I'd have no problem if you wanted to put it up for AfD. Best,  —SMALLJIM  20:16, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

2005 New York Yankees season

I removed the Game Log section because 1) I started it and 2) I messed up and it's just not going to get done with just me doing it. Thank you for your concern though and sorry for the confusion. Eric - Contact me please. I prefer conversations started on my talk page if the subject is changed

Stop

Please stop removing my pages. I understand you're a bored adult, but find something productive to do other than watch people's posts 24/7. --Anonymuse4wiki (talk) 21:55, 30 May 2014 (UTC)

Block

• 109.152.239.247 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Please take a look at the IP's unblock request. Do you agree that things had been settled? Before I blocked the IP, I did notice that the last revert was different, but it was still a breach of 3RR in my estimation, and the previous reverts had been contentious. Do you think the IP should be unblocked? Thanks for your thoughts.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:54, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

• @Bbb23: yes, I would support an unblock. They were obviously acting in good faith, not knowing that by reverting they were violating policy. If you do unblock them, could you consider leaving them a note pointing them to Template:Cite journal, which they would have found useful? I tried to in one of my edit summaries, but they appear not to have read it. G S Palmer (talk) 16:06, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

• Thanks very much; it's done.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:39, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

please don't block or delete the page

It is an educational Institutional page and no harmful content are not present here so i request you not to delete this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asadiitju40 (talk • contribs) 20:49, 31 May 2014 (UTC)

• Hi Asadiitju40, I presume that you're talking about Institute of Information Technology, Jahangirnagar University. I note that it has already been deleted, though not by me (not being an administrator, I don't have the technical ability to delete pages). The reason it was deleted was due to the fact that it didn't give credible claim of significance to be considered notable. Also, the deleting admin noted that it was promotional. If you intend to re-create the page, you may want to read some of the links I have provided above, so that it will stand less chance of deletion next time. G S Palmer (talk) 23:39, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
