Image uploads

Thanks for adding all the great images! However, we take copyright seriously at Wikipedia and we need more proof that you are the copyright owner of these images. Can you send an email to permissions@wikimedia.org from an email address associated with savechinastigers.og explaining that you are the copyright owner, naming the relevant images, and specifying which license you want to release them under (e.g. {{cc-by-sa-3.0}})? Thanks for your cooperation. Calliopejen1 13:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC) Bold text

World's Favourite animals

Hi. All these entries seem like the result of a web poll which is not appropriate for Wiki since they are meaningless samples. I think that they will be reverted, so you might want to take them down. They are not good references. Thanks Bob98133 14:23, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I understand what you're saying, and I don't object to the ratings, but unless a poll is conducted in a scientific fashion, by a reliable polling organization like a Roper or Gallup poll, it doesn't really mean much. Online polls, or television call in polls, or whatever this was aren't very reliable or representative. Even in the paid-for polls the results are often determined by the questions asked. I also question how important it is that a certain number of poeple think that a particular animal is the most popular. I would say that chickens are the absolute most popular animal in the world considering how many billions of them are eaten yearly. I also don't think much of Animal Planet, but that's a separate issue! Anyhow, I don't care enough to change it, but my guess is someone will remove those ratings.Bob98133 23:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Tigers

Sorry about that but I could have sworn I saw a clip of the tigers killing live wildebeests. Dave Salmoni was involved so it's probably a different project. Bobisbob 21:44, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

How to Train Your Dragon (film)

Hi. I removed much of what you added there as we do not encourage "Trivia" sections and I think the detailed list of dragon types is rather unencyclopedic. If you disagree I encourage you to discuss in article talk what you feel this material would add to an encyclopedia article on a popular film. --John (talk) 15:29, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Rewilding (Carnivores)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Rewilding (Carnivores). First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Rewilding (conservation biology). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Rewilding (conservation biology) - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Logan _Talk ^{Contributions} 06:34, 4 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit summaries

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Before saving your changes to an article, please provide an edit summary for your edits. Doing so helps everyone understand the intention of your edit (and prevents legitimate edits from being mistaken for vandalism). It is also helpful to users reading the edit history of the page. Thank you. mgiganteus1 (talk) 16:41, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Warning ! You are talking sides in an edit war !

You reverted my edit [1]. The material you are restoring has very little to do with Bengal Tigers. If you feel the material is correct, integrate it with the correct article (John Varty). But add credible references, otherwise you will continue the edit war. User:LesnarMMA was already blocked.

The first paragraph you are storing does not make sense. John Varty will not and cannot release his tigers into the South African wilderness. South Africa does not have any wilderness left. Every part of the country is divided up into farm land, urban areas and nature reserves. All nature reserves have well defined boarders with wardens patrolling.

If John releases his tigers, they will be shot, if they do not die of hunger. There is not enough wildlife in the Karoo to sustain them. -- Nic Roets (talk) 16:34, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring at Bengal Tiger

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Bengal Tiger. Users are expected to collaborate with others and avoid editing disruptively.

In particular, the three-revert rule states that:

1. Making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period is almost always grounds for an immediate block.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you continue to edit war, you may be blocked from editing without further notice..

---

You also seem to be involved in an edit war at Save China's Tigers. You are expected to use the talk page to try to persuade other editors to support your position, not continue to revert. It is unlikely that you can succeed in winning an edit war by reverting more than the other person. Admins will step in and block you before that happens. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 02:42, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

Please stop adding any material critical of John Varty !

Hello China's Tiger. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article John Varty, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. I have explained why on the COI notice board.

Re: Editing Wars

Reply to Editing Wars

China's Tiger, I apologise for the delay in my response to your comment. I am aware of the editing conflicts you mentioned and have been attending to them cautiously over the course of yesterday and today.

I expressed my concerns to Nroets on the Save China's Tigers talk page yesterday. In it, I explained that I feel he should collaborate with other Wikipedia users better in his Wikipedia editing. For example, I requested that he be more forthcoming in discussing the removal of content and add citation needed templates as a communication tool to other editors.

Today, I again voices my concerns on his talk page, particularly regarding edits he has made since yesterday. I expressed my concerns for his motivations for the removal of content as being non-neutral. I furthermore emphasised that editors should not use lack of neutrality as an excuse to delete. I hope that he will try to be more conservative in his editions, particularly in removing Wikipedia content.

I do not believe that there is any political agenda or bias favouring Nroets on Wikipedia. I am sure that Wikipedia has many policy cases to resolve and it may be the case that their decisions can come across as being misdirected against noble editors, but not intentionally. A glance at the history pages in question indicates that Nroets clearly participated in edit conflicts. If you end up involved in an edit conflict, it is best to not reciprocate the conflict and rather discuss the conflict on the talk page. This will avoid you being drawn into edit wars.

Regarding the conflict of interest (COI) accusations against you by Nroets: I doubt they have any grounds. It is clear that you have made valuable contributions to those articles and have on several occasions expressed your interest in enhancing their neutrality over time. Given his prior edit conflicts with you, it seems more likely that Nroets is simply making such an accusation to "gain the upper hand in a content dispute". Hence, he may be the one who is in conflict with Wikipedia policy.

I hope that this addresses most of your concerns for the time being.

-- Dremagon (talk) 22:15, 28 August 2011 (UTC)

Dear Dremagon,

Thank you for your reply, and for your understanding. It is great to know that we have the same thinking. NRoets is really attempting to remove all contents which are even slightly bad about John Varty, and not just me, but many other members of the Wikipedia Community has been trying to just revert those articles back to its original content, only to get into an editing war of Nroets.

He also rarely explains his reasons for purging those contents, and only reply vaguely on the various talk pages. When his argument is flawed, he goes to the noticeboard and complains about other users being in "editting wars" or "conflict of interests". In this sense, it seems like he is never in the wrong. I have tried to reason out with him on the various talk pages, but he doesn't really reply much, he prefers to complain on the noticeboards.

As a wikipedia editor, i feel that it is really important to ensure that articles, biography of projects and people must be neutral, and Nroets is preventing all of this from happening through the purging of every single negative content. I thank you for being neutral and for lending a helping hand and editing the various pages which i feel uncomfortable doing now. Even if he is in conflict with the Wikipedia policy, he always speak as though he is in the right while any other user is in the wrong. Vital information from the Bengal Tiger page has been removed by him yet again, please view it when you have the time.

Thank you for your time, and for the explanation. Sometimes i just hope that everyone in Wikipedia can be like you, neutral and friendly, improving the articles with an objective purpose, not for any personal reasons.

Cheers China's Tiger (talk) 03:12, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

I am glad to have helped.

Yes, it is important to maintain neutrality and verifiability as much as possible with material on living persons, else is does warrant immediate removal. You can also move such material to the article's talk page to get a second opinion before reposting it. This may prevent any edit conflicts.

Cheers and happy editing.

Dremagon (talk) 17:27, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you once again Dremagon, Cheers.

Best Regards China's Tiger (talk) 06:34, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Think carefully before you continue with edit warring: Before June 2011, John Varty, Bengal Tiger and SCT was not on my watchlist. But when the speedy delete warning came, I started digging and I found a lot of stuff that you didn't like. Like credible references to John Varty's films. Like the location of SCT relative to TC. -- Nic Roets (talk) 20:33, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello China's Tiger. I'm surprised that nobody has yet brought this up, but your username, which represents an organization (Saving China's Tigers) is not acceptable per WP:ORGNAME. If you request a username change at WP:CHU/S then your previous contributions, user page and user talk pages, everything will be preserved. If you have trouble making the request, please let me know and I can help you, thank you. -- Atama頭 18:24, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Tiger versus lion and page protection

Hello, I saw your WP:RFPP for Tiger versus lion. From the edit history, I think the dispute is largely a one-on-one edit dispute between you and the IP editor 76.124.82.11‎, who edited the article in a way that caused multiple wiki-syntax errors. As such, I don't think page protection is an appropriate measure, and I've left a message reminding the IP editor to familiarise themselves with the WP:Wiki markup. I'll consider blocking that IP editor if they continue to make edits that break the wiki-syntax.

On the other hand, I hope you'll refrain from any personal attack in your edit summaries. "Removed sources which has no references at all" is an adequate reason for reverting an edit; "with no wikipedia credentials, or editing history" is merely a personal attack on the new IP editor, which is unhelpful and unwelcome. Deryck C. 12:27, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Dear Deryck Chan,

Thanks for your reply, and i will take note of that. Maybe i should have phrased my reason for reverting an edit better, so as to be more polite. Cheers! I will continue watching that page, and if the user tries to paste all those removed information back there again, i will be sure to inform you. Thank you once again for your time.

Thanks for your message on my talk page. I'm just a lowly anti-vandalism editor, but I agree that the above article is slowly being vandalised, with no edit explanations. I recommend you contact User talk:Materialscientist and/or User talk:Acalamari, both of whom I've found to be very helpful in the past. Let me know how you get on. Regards.
