June 2016

Your recent editing history at Emma (wrestler) shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
As this is simply not a blanket removal, I think User:Dwdpuma is disputing the VenEmma as a move. I think it's time to take this to dispute resolution. I'm warning him with this same template. Please don't revert unless he blanks the whole section or page. w^{L<speak·check>} 02:48, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) For someone who has been here as long as you have must know that he was reverting vandalism and that is an exception to the 3RR rule. --Majora (talk) 02:50, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

@Majora:: But I don't think this is vandalism. Otherwise, I would have reported him to WP:AIV. But if you think this is vandalism, go ahead and send him to it. --w^{L<speak·check>} 02:52, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

@WikiLeon: Few things. Oshwah already did report to AIV. And I support that. Pings don't work if you fix them. You have to redo them completely (new line, new template, new signature) if it doesn't go though the first time. Also, Oshwah knows full well what our policies are. Edit warring is one of the last things they would do. Templating the regulars instead of just politely writing out your concerns is a little rude. --Majora (talk) 02:56, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

(edit conflict) -- twice. @Majora: I saw his contribs, and based on this edit to Alexa Bliss, he's here not to contribute. Report away. PS. I don't mind being templated. --w^{L<speak·check>} 02:59, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi everyone! No big deal -- it happens all the time. WikiLeon, Majora: I appreciate you both for being diligent and for putting the project first. That's the important part. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:03, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Oakwood, Montgomery County, Ohio

hey oshwah

I figured it'd be good to link to the large and growing page on Brock Turner. This is a current event that many would like to investigate. Turner's hometown is mentioned on his page, and he is mentioned on the Oakwood page as well. My edit constructively gives context to this high-profile current event. I also referenced two other notable residents of Oakwood from history. This page did not have a Notable people page until I created it. Your deletion was excessive.

I'm attempting to improve the Five Ways article, because I think it's quite awful the way it stands. I added a section in the discussion that announces my intention to do this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hammiesink (talk • contribs) 04:50, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Hammiesink! Thanks for leaving me a message and for explaining your intentions to improve the article. I appreciate the heads up regarding the discussion you've had on the article's talk page here. In the future, it would be helpful if you also explained your changes using the edit summary. It helps other editors to understand what you're doing and why. You can even say something simple such as "see talk page discussion" -- that way, other editors know that they need to visit the article's talk page to understand your changes. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me them. I'll be more than happy to assist you. Were you able to fix the article okay? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:49, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Regarding the article on Barbarika

Hi,

I would like to point out few corrections in the Wikipedia page on Barbarika.

1. Krishna's question "how many days he would take to finish Mahabharata war alone". Here you are including Kauravas as well. Karna, Bheeshma and few more you mentioned are Kauravas 2. You are mixing up a few stories of Ghatotkacha along with Barbakira. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.225.104.70 (talk) 10:32, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

	WIll this barnstar be reverted? TheDwellerCamp (talk) 02:28, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

TheDwellerCamp, or should I say Winterysteppe... I'm disappointed, my man. I know that you made a mistake, you're kicking yourself over it, and that you wish things can just go back to before that decision to do what you did. But repeatedly creating sock puppet accounts, as you've been confirmed doing numerously and continuously, will only disconnect you further and further from Wikipedia, not draw you closer to it. You were an excellent editor... I really do hope that you'll realize this, and that you'll start doing the right thing and someday make a legitimate return. :-( ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

There is a mop reserved in your name

You are an exemplary editor; remarkable in many ways. You would be a good administrator in my opinion, and you appear to be well qualified! You personify an Administrator without tools, and have gained my support; already!

Hi everyone! I'm so sorry for taking so long to respond to this message and thank you all; I've been very busy. I really appreciate everyone's kind words and input here; I've started an RFACP with mixed results... not sure what to do. Probably going to wait until September. Wish me luck... lol :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:28, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Adrian Romay-Habsburg

Hello,

you deleted my message on the Adrian Romay-Habsburg page. Maybe you better delete the hole article about this person, because there is no such person. The last spanish habsburg died 1700. He hasn't the Order of the Toisón of Gold. The sources link to articles without relation to the habsburgs (1,2) or to this person (3). etc. etc. Check out Order of the Toisón of Gold. Look up the Almanach de Saxe Gotha for all living habsburgs. There is no romay-habsburg.

Ohio Buckeyes

Afternoon, I just created a login today and recieved a message from you:

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions —the one you made with this edit to John Cooper (American football)— because it didn’t appear constructive to me. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:32, 18 March 2016 (UTC) If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices.

I did not make any edits but this is a company computer so it may be a shared IP address. Hope you have a wonderful day! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.165.7.106 (talk) 23:17, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Congrats on the GA

The GA passed first of many I hope! Have you ever reviewed a GA nomination? I personally found its a good way of brushing up on the physical application of the policies we recite to editors, and a great way of reducing a backlog -- samtar ^{talk or stalk} 06:38, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Samtar - Sorry for being so late to the party. I've been very busy these last two weeks. I just wanted to thank you for the notification, as well as for the DYK - I very much appreciate it. A lot. I guess that makes my second GA (although apparently others feel differently at RFACP?) -- regardless, I owe you my thanks :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:59, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Ana Braga wikipedia!

Hello Oshwah, I would like to know if you are changing the edits and saying she's an exotic dancer in Las Vegas? That is incorrect and very offensive. I hope you stop making these wrong corrections. if you didn't do it I apologize but this is very upsetting to Ana :( — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobully16 (talk • contribs) 11:01, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Nobully16 - No, the only edit I made to the article was here. I removed that reference, as well as the unreferenced change to the person's birthday. If you have any more questions, please let me know. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:02, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

NPP / AfC

Hi. Just a reminder that in just over a week at Wikimania there's going to be a cross-Wiki discussion about the systems of control of new pages. This is a round-table rather than a presentation or a lecture. On the agenda are reforms to the new article reviewing systems and ways to help new users better understand our content policies. If you are going to Italy and would like to take part, please check out the conference schedule, and I look forward to seeing you there. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 17:40, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Image help

Hi again Oshwah, Is there a way to change the dimensions of an image, for example widening it or squishing it? Or is an image only changeable proportionately? Thank you very much! NikolaiHo 23:17, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Nikolaiho! It's good to see you again! I apologize for taking so long to respond to your question here; I've been very busy lately. As far as I know, there isn't a way to override or distort an image's size and stretch it to custom dimensions. The MediaWiki software will keep the image in proportion to its native ratio and dimensions; you can certainly set how large or how small the image is, as well as which side of the page that it floats on. This picture tutorial lists the different ways that you can use the template and insert images into pages. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to let me know. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you with anything that you need. It's good to run into you again, and I hope you're doing well. I hope to run into you again soon, and I wish you happy editing. :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:15, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Bisterne Dragon

A new page has recently been created for the above apparently by partly blanking, and also copying and pasting from, Bisterne. I know it's not how it's done but I am unsure what steps to take to deal with it. Can you offer any advice please. Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 23:29, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Eagleash! Thanks for leaving me a message with your question. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you. My personal and work life became very busy over the last two weeks, and I'm finally catching up with my talk page messages now. It looks like Bisterne Dragon and Bisterne are fine; they appear to be about different subjects but contain similarities as far as content and relation go. I checked both pages for copyright violations and issues, and they both appear to check out. So long as the content is referenced where necessary and relevant to the article subject, I don't see an issue here. If you have any more questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know. I'll be happy to give you a hand. Thanks for stopping by and saying hi; feel free to do that any time you like. Cheers :-) -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:22, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, I thought there was some guideline or other (WP:CWW?) about copying within Wiki. But if you reckon it's OK that's fine by me! Thanks. Regards, Eagleash (talk) 12:26, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

GA reviews

Heyo Oshwah, I saw the comments at the Optional RfA poll and I thought that you could use this. There were a lot of essays on how to improve the quality of articles/review them, so I made a compilation with a few points of my own. You can perhaps use that while reviewing. It does help me a lot. Here it is. Regards, Yash! 20:16, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Holy cow! Thanks a lot! This is extremely helpful. It's disappointing that a new area I just got into is sinking me. I guess you just can't win lol... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:58, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Ah, GA reviews can be a bit tricky for the new reviewers. Just evaluate every sentence individually and see if the criteria is satisfied in the tiniest of the detail. Start with the obvious ones, the articles that are in a poor condition. That will help you get the experience to find out faults. And keep watching other editors review (the comprehensive and lengthy ones) - this has helped me more than anything. You will get a hold of it soon enough. Good luck with the reviews! Best, Yash! 09:33, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Yash! - Thanks again for taking the time to message me and provide some guidance, as well as the essay. I very much appreciate it, and I'll definitely turn to them for help. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:24, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

DYK for Windows Push Notification Service

On 21 June 2016, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Windows Push Notification Service, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the Windows Push Notification Service allows developers to send push data to Windows desktop and mobile applications? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Windows Push Notification Service. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Windows Push Notification Service), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

You changed my edits

My name is Richard Easter. The page I changed was about me, and was mostly incorrect. Also, I resent some unknown person putting up details about me on the web. I am "web private" I do not have any information about me on the internet if I can help it. Therefore, I DO NOT want anything on wikipedia. It is an infringement of my privacy. Therefore I hope you do not do this again - if indeed it was you. If not I apologise. Now, I will go back and take all this nonsense off- again. Lacherlichcat (talk) 10:57, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

@Lacherlichcat: If you have concerns about an article about you, please contact the Wikipedia Volunteer Response Team (click here) to have them properly addressed. Please refrain from removing sourced content from the article, as this may result in you being blocked from editing. Thank you. Linguist 111^talk 11:19, 22 June 2016 (UTC)

Concerning Manny (Ice Age)

Hi Oshwah,

Concerning my action of reverting edits made by Dbocz1234 in the article Manny (Ice Age), I have created an edit summary thoroughly explaining why I let it become a re-direct page again. His or her edits are simply a blatant copy-paste of http://iceage.wikia.com/wiki/Manny, and it really isn't necessary to create a new page for Manny since the main article explains enough information about the Ice Age character. If there are not any other issues regarding my action, please allow me to change the page into a redirect page for the time being (with possibilities). SomeoneNamedDerek (talk) 04:08, 25 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi SomeoneNamedDerek! Thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns regarding the changes made to the Manny (Ice Age). Please accept my sincere apologies; I believe that I meant to revert Dbocz1234's changes, not yours. Your edit appears to be just fine. Sorry about that! Thanks for the heads up and for correcting the bone head reversion I made to the article. Much, much appreciated! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:55, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Re: Recent Anonymous Edit

Hi, I honestly doubt you viewed my edit, because all I did was replace a parenthetical that was clunky with an inline prepositional phrasing. So uhh, excuse me if I'm being rude, but from my experience with RCP on various wikis, including this one, before I decided to just stay anon, I think you just saw an anon edit and reverted it. I am familiar with the Wikipedia Manual of Style and all I did was improve readability in accordance with the commonly accepted grammar of the English language. 76.174.237.125 (talk) 04:10, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) For someone who claims to be familiar with wikipedia this quote "I think you just saw an anon edit and reverted it" sure seems to show an astounding lack of WP:AGF which is one of our most important policies on the english wikipedia. "So uhh, excuse me if I'm being rude" You already knew you were bing rude you could have discussed this like an adult. "Improve readability in accordance with the commonly accepted grammar of the English language" the word Titular does not necessarily improve the readability. The word Titular isn't what I'd call "commonly accepted grammar" title also is easier to read. So I'd stop hurling accusations of bad faith at Oshwah a long standing editor with a spotless record, who seems to hold with IPs are Human too and discuss this in a rational, calm and professional tone instead of the accusatory tone you brought with you. --Cameron₁₁₅₉₈ ^(Talk) 20:06, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns. I owe you an apology; I thought that the edit was vandalism, but it appears to be a simple change to a word. I don't think the new word exists or make sense, but looking at your message here, it appears that you legitimately believed that the edit was an improvement. If you still feel that the change is an improvement and legitimate, you're more than welcome to restore your changes.

Hi Sashalonely, and thank you for leaving me a message here. I highly recommend that you review Wikipedia's notability guidelines, as well as the deletion guideline for the tag that was placed on the article. It will answer your questions and address the concerns that you have. In short, there are guidelines regarding the creation of articles about people. The person must meet notability guidelines listed in the pages that I provided for you; you cannot simply create an article about anyone.

I am struggling with editing this page, everytime I edit something, it reverts back to the original version - I think there must be a bot doing this, hence why not every edit I explain why, because I am trying to figure out why it continues to revert and what I can do to change this

Hi Tiredeco! Some of the reversions to your changes were made by me. I noticed that you removed content without explaining why using an edit summary. This is important to do, as it lets other editors know about your changes and why you're making them. If you have any more questions about the use of an edit summary, please do not hesitate to ask me them. I'll be more than happy to answer any questions you have and assist you with anything you need.

I do actually have an issue, I was wondering if you could assist me?

I am trying to delete a sentence that is unsourced and replace it with a paragraph full of sourced information - but user JJMC89 continues to delete my sourced information. What do I do next to deal with this individual? I am new on Wikipedia as you might be able to tell, and I am struggling with understanding why a user would delete sourced information in preference with unsourced information?

Tiredeco - Have you discussed your concerns with JJMC89 on his talk page? I know JJMC89 well; I haven't seen an edit made by him that was not legitimate or not within policy, and he's a very open and welcoming user to bring your concerns to. Discuss your changes with JJMC89 directly; he'll be more than happy to give you input and explain why he reverted your changes. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask me them. I'll be happy to assist you with anything that you need. Good luck, and I wish you happy editing! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:06, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah

I noticed the page titled Romalea guttata says under the section titled "Defense" that the insect emits a foul-tasting secretion with no explanation of how that is known. The citation to the University of Florida at the end of the section does not mention the taste of the secretion. Is this allowed on Wikipedia?

Thanks, James 24.250.162.248 (talk) 03:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there, James! Thank you for leaving me a message with your question! Yes, that's perfectly allowed; the content briefly explains that this species, Romalea guttata, secrets a foul-tasting liquid as a defense mechanism when it's disturbed. The content is referenced, and the source here appears to be reliable and directly backs up this claim. Since the reference also has references to other articles and content within its content, this source is considered a secondary source. These are the type of references that Wikipedia prefers (and sometimes requires) that we use. In short, to answer your question: the content you're expressing concerns with appear to be perfectly fine. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Cheers! -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:16, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Oshwah/Templates/PMRRightPlace

Hi Oshwaw, if you want to add these to lots of Wikipedia: locations I suggest either making them transcluded subpages (if they are page specific), or move to Template: space (if more generic). — xaosflux ^Talk 03:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

xaosflux - Do you think that my additions make a good permanent addition to those pages? I've published others as well: 1, 2, 3, 4. If you do, I'll happily move them over to the right place. I just didn't know if anyone would, which is why I didn't do so before... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:09, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Request to join a discussion

Hi, Oshwah! You may remember me from our discussion about Nile crocodiles about a month ago. I wasn't logged in, we had a small dispute, then came to an agreement. In fact the reason I contact you today is, I need your help. After our dispute resolution I had come to the conclusion that you are an objective user with strong cognitive and reasoning skills. Also you are very bold and upfront, and don't hesitate to take action when needed (saw a lot of admin noticeboard entries by you :) - you don't hold back from making sure justice is served). All these qualities are needed in this case that I am about to present you. I have been unfortunate enough to come in contact with a user who has no idea about the Wikipedia etiquette and regulations. He has been constantly disrespecting and insulting me over the past few days. Therefore I am inviting users whose skills I trust. Here is an excerpt from my invitation to another user about this very topic:

"I'm dealing with a case of disrespect and immaturity, and obviously this discussion (if there was ever one in the first place) needs a third party. I trust your assessment skills when you review any given topic, therefore I am inviting you to the Athens Riviera page. Here is the link. Please review the changes on both the article page, its talk page and both user talk pages in the right chronological order. This has become really ugly. Such behaviour makes Wikipedia unbearable at times.. You know how patient I am but even this case is beyond me.."

Oshwah, I am asking the same thing from you. I trust your judgment. Thanks in advance.. Berkserker (talk) 08:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Btw, the user keeps deleting the entry on his user talk page, therefore here [1] I attach the last version on his talk page. He keeps copy pasting the entire conversation to my talk page, haven't seen anything so bizarre all these years. He is simply operating in the details to maximise his abuse.. Berkserker (talk) 08:33, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Berkserker! It's great to see you again! I don't remember the dispute we had, but hey no worries (and no hard feelings) -- I'm sure we both were civil, acted on good faith with one another, and we resolved it :-). Sure, I'll be more than happy to help step in and assist with this issue. Let me look over all of the edits and discussions and get back to you... stand by :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:38, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Berkserker - is it Weatherextremes that you feel is being uncivil towards you? Weatherextremes, can you help me understand what the discussion and dispute is all about? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 08:43, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

HI Oshwah,thank you for the intervention.I am not sure if you had a chance to check out what is happening here.The whole problem started when Berkserker reverted a legit source from the article I created named Athens Riviera.I reverted back his edit which was vague (something in line that there were inconsistencies with the source but he did not clarify these with his initial edit).He came back in a rude manner and told me off as not being able to comprehend English when he was the one having difficulty understanding a simple graph. I went on to explain his mistake and instead of admitting his foul politely he constructed a whole narrative about international rules on graphs.That was by far the cheapest defence I have ever heard from someone. What made me react was his extreme arrogance and sense of entitlement that actually drove him to comment on my comprehension skills. The fact that he immediately assumed that I gave an inconsistent source without double checking the graph in question made me very sceptical of his judgement. Again I am stressing that what is unsettling with him is the fact that he lacks the ability to discuss without a sense of entitlement.He was the one to start the insults and he got even nastier when I tried to explain his mistake. If he was polite, non antagonistic and without insults towards me I would not have reacted.Here is my latest reply to him [2] Weatherextremes (talk) 09:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Weatherextremes - We're talking about these edits (1, 2, 3), correct? Berkserker - Can you show me diffs or exact changes made to your talk page by Weatherextremes that you considered to be uncivil behavior towards you? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:19, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Yes these are the edits.Also let me add that he was the one to initially hijack my talk page and in a very rude demanding way titling his comment your recent behaviour. I mean who is he to tell me off in such a manner when in fact he was the one to get it wrong? So I reacted in the same fashion.He commented on my talk page as if he was an admin or something.Weatherextremes (talk) 09:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

@Weatherextremes: Really? How can you be so delusional? I advise you to go back and read everything again, in the right order:

English may not be your native language, perhaps you can't understand the discussion or comments left for an edit, but that does not give you the right to be disrespectful to other editors. It was clear even from my first edit what the issue was, however either you insisted on not understanding or simply can't understand it. Neither gives you the right to be be disrespectful saying "Do not revert again if you can't understand something" especially when it is you who can't understand a simple phrase for the past few days, no matter how many different ways I put it for you to understand. Let me put it in a more simple form so you can understand. "The precipitation graph on the site does not match the figures below". According to the chart the monthly precipitation in mm is apx. 61, 54, 55,... while the written form is 48.3, 40.9, 39.7 and so on. This is why it is inconsistent. Either you have to contact your Greek authorities for them to correct those figures, or we need to find another credible source. Berkserker (talk) 06:24, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

First of all you better refrain from judging my English comprehension when you are the one who has problems understanding simple graphs.Secondly only NOW you explain in detail what you mean with the inconsistency in the Athens Riviera article.Finally please try to improve your cognitive skills so as they won't make you look like a fool in the future.The columns in the graph refer to Total days of rain while the blue line is the monthly precipitation.I mean come on!A 12 year old could get that Weatherextremes (talk) 14:16, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Only after your insult I questioned your language skills. It was the most polite way to express my resentment about your behaviour. I simply gave you a chance to explain your aggressive and disrespectful attitude by saying "maybe you don't understand due to language", which is nothing to be ashamed of even if it was the case. I wouldn't accuse you of such a thing... Despite being insulted I approached with goodwill but you still continued to insult me... Still I didn't act like you did, even after dozens of hatred filled abusive messages, one after another.. Your argument is just ridiculous.. Berkserker (talk) 09:34, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Mate,you had no right to hijack my talk page telling me off in this manner.It was you that initially started this whole thing with your message on my talk page.You were vague about the inconsistencies and I reverted the edit and told you to be careful if you dont understand something.Turns out you had not understood the graph and started twisting everything I was saying because your ego is simply too big to get over a mistake.It was you who started the whole thing by being rude , antagonistic and by hijacking my talk page.Weatherextremes (talk) 09:42, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

"Do not revert again if you can't understand something" - you can't use such a phrase when speaking to anyone, even if they have made a mistake. If it was vague, you could have simply left a message on my talk page, and I would have realised my mistake and apologise. Despite that I didn't approach you with the same manner, I was still hoping this attitude was because of a language barrier. But you took it personal and kept attacking me. Even after all those messages you can clearly see i was still very calm despite all the things you told me. You kept insulting, laughing, abusing and whatnot. The moment I realised my mistake I admitted it (unlike you claim), but still it wasn't good enough for you and kept insulting. At this point it isn't me who is "rude and antagonistic" with a "big ego". Also I never twisted a single truth while you were doing it all throughout.. Because I am sure you are intelligent enough to be consistent throughout, which you weren't. It can only be intensional.. Berkserker (talk) 09:57, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Berkserker, Weatherextremes - To be quite frank, it appears that you both are behaving in a hostile and uncivil manner towards one another. I understand that you're frustrated over this issue; it can be easy to become angry and allow those feelings to influence your discussion towards others. I think you both need to remember that we're here to build an encyclopedia. You're both on the same team and wearing the same colored jerseys, and you're arguing with another team mate (not an enemy). You both need to stop, and agree to put the past anger and behavior aside, shake hands, apologize, and help me to help you both. Fighting isn't going to improve the article, working together does.

What's wrong with this edit to the article? I don't think the extra content is really necessary, and I also don't think that a citation needed note is needed either. Is there something incorrect about this change? Also, is there something wrong with the current source provided (which looks to be this page)? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 09:53, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

@Oshwah: There really is not content dispute at this point, at least I don't contest the credibility of the source. My only problem is the attitude. Even though I had acknowledged my mistake, the same abusive and ridiculing behaviour went on and on, both on his page and mine.. Berkserker (talk) 10:18, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Following your advice Oshwah I will not continue with this antagonistic approach.You are right so I will not continue with this anymore.Weatherextremes (talk) 10:11, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Also Oshwah I think we need to keep the reference on the BSh climate on the article.I will provide an extra source in a few minutesWeatherextremes (talk) 10:14, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I have also added two extra sources on the article and reinstated the passageWeatherextremes (talk) 10:22, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Weatherextremes - The edit I made didn't remove a reference from the article at all. Content such as "according to the Köppen climate classification" is simply a claim. It's not an actual reference. If you have additional sources for the content currently there, by all means... add it if it's reliable. It sounds like there's a dispute with the information within this reference - what exactly is wrong with it? ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:23, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Oshwah it is not a claim.It derives from the data shown on the HNMS website.However I have included the Peel 2007 paper that shows there is a BSh climate in the Athens Riviera.You will need to enlarge the map significantly though Weatherextremes (talk) 10:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I note the source you just added to the article. At first glance, it seems okay to me. I agree with you; I think that the bulk of the dispute and the real underlying issue between the two of you is the fact that you're frustrated with one another over and making hostile comments back-and-fourth, not the actual content itself. When disputes between one another get to this point, it becomes purely disruptive to the project. While the community will certainly understand that tempers can flare and why, it's still highly frowned upon and isn't acceptable conduct. Your frustrations may explain your actions, but it does not excuse them. You both are now going back-and-fourth, pointing fingers at one another about the rude and uncivil comments you both have made, and then piling more disruptive and uncivil comments in your finger-pointing... this spiral will only continue unless you two agree right now to stop, apologize, and promise to work together. Not only is this bickering and battleground conduct disruptive and against policy, it's really quite silly... especially over something so small and easy-to-resolve such as this. Weatherextremes, Berkserker - can you help me out here (as well as help yourselves out) and agree to put the silliness aside, forgive one another, and shake hands? Please? :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:40, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I agree with you Oshwah so I apologise to Berkserker for the inconvenience and I consider the issue resolved.Weatherextremes (talk) 10:42, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

I both acknowledge and admire your response, and the fact that you've chosen to drop the stick and move on peacefully. I really hope that Berkserker chooses to do the same. Please communicate with one another on the article's talk page or user talk page if further issues develop, and work on being neutral and respectful towards each other. Please also feel free to message me with any additional questions or concerns. I'll be happy to step in and assist in any way that is needed. My talk page is always open. I wish you both the best of luck. Regards -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 10:52, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Well, Oshwah, all due respect, I can't agree. I believe it is just easy to find "middle ground" when the facts prove otherwise. I will just not continue a debate that from the first moment I deemed "silly". Therefore I will shake hands (something I was trying to do from the very beginning), but I don't see what I did to apologise. Berkserker (talk) 10:54, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Berkserker - I apologize; I wasn't trying to say nor imply that the content dispute or the fact that you two are trying to resolve it with one another is "silly". The article and its content obviously mean a lot to the both of you; else, you two wouldn't be here discussing it with me nor would you have sought my help to try and bring clarity and mediation to the dispute. What is silly is the fact that back-and-fourth hostility and incivility developed from a content dispute. There isn't really any content dispute in general that excuses or justifies that kind of behavior... that's all I meant to say. But hey, it's behind us now! You both apologized to one another and shook hands here. That's a great end to a heated dispute, and one that is very rare to see around here at times. It doesn't occur often enough. You two should be proud of yourselves for choosing to do that; I'll say that I sure am :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:07, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Oshwah, you misunderstood me. It is me saying all this debate is silly in the first place. I had been trying to come to terms with the user from the first moment, which he misunderstood and escalated the argument. This is why i find it silly and immature from the very start. I am shaking hands since this was my goal from the beginning, but I am not apologising. Berkserker (talk) 11:27, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Berkserker - Ah, okay. I understand your thinking now - thanks for clearing that up. I can be quite a bone head at times... you'll have to forgive my foolishness :-). As I previously said, the fact that you both agreed to shake hands, leave your frustration by the curb, and walk away peacefully is a good and rare ending to a dispute like this. As I'm sure you already know, I've provided help with a lot of heated and nasty disputes, and they usually end with administrator intervention and blocking for one thing or another. It makes me happy to see that this dispute did not become one of those cases. It shows maturity, leadership, and good judgment on your part to do that. It certainly isn't easy for many people to do (again, as you probably already know). :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 11:45, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

It has never been my goal to get anyone warned or blocked. If it was so I would have reported the activity the first moment I was insulted. But I chose to reason with the user like I always do. My hand was always out there to be shaken despite the claims and insults. It is really unfortunate when the other user is labelling and accusing you with having a "big ego" and "twisting" the facts while in fact you are doing the exact opposite, while they are portraying the behaviour they are accusing you of. Berkserker (talk) 12:02, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Berkserker Yup, it's not my goal either. I always try to extend every reach of the hand possible before I decide that it's time for an administrator to intervene. When I have to do it, I see it as a missed opportunity on my part (as silly as that sounds). It's good that you try your hardest to diffuse the situation and remain calm and civil; it's not easy at times. Many people (for whatever reason) choose not to practice or develop skills in that area. But it's a critical skill-set to have if you plan on becoming a long-term contributor and start working in privileged or high-trust areas. It's what identifies truly experienced editors from the new, and creates leaders from those who follow. Keep working on that skill-set, and keep up the good work. It will reward you. I promise. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:42, 28 June 2016 (UTC)

Thanks, no rewards needed ;) It has been more than ten years since I became an editor on Wikipedia. It has always been my philosophy to remain as a low profile editor. This is why you can't find any details about me on my profile and quite often I edit logged out. I have had a number of accounts since 2005, every time one had been on the spotlight, receive barnstars and attention, I moved on to the next. This is just how I look at it. You may say it is an old school Wikipedia editor behaviour, a stereotypical first gen. kind of attitude, but in reality I believe this was why Wikipedia was formed in the first place. Cheers!

Templates subpages

Hi Oshwah, about Special:PrefixIndex/User:Oshwah/Templates/, would it make sense for these to be moved into the Template namespace, with docs complete with see alsos, and put into a new "right place" Category to make it easy to keep track, or is it a bit soon? I'm not versed enough to know if there's precedence with user-space templates being highly visible out in the project space. The navigation templates do look pretty helpful.

About the Rookies TV series edit of release date change.

Hi Oshwah,

The reason I changed the release date for The Rookies television series is because the official release date was on March 7, 1972 not on September 11, 1972 contrary to those who originally watched the show when it aired. I only changed it because it makes sense that the series started on that date even though it came out as a tv movie of the week when in fact it was a pilot for the series. Please change it back, because I feel that's the correct date of release.

you sent me a message saying that you removed the editing i made on lloyd pye and as i have watched documentaries on the science of the subject matters and the results i really wanted to update the article so the truth would be known and have changed false information with truthful information as it is only fair the truth be known and if scientists are wrong and prooven wrong then that should also be there for all to see and be put in the picture aswell as biased nonsense is not what people should be taking in as truth when the evidences and proofs happened in reality and the scientists who were prooven wrong should be known to have been wrong after trying to discredit lloyd in the first place, these documentaries are on youtube and the internet so even if the truth isn't allowed to be given on here then at least and i hope people find out the irrefutable truth by going online or youtube and give this amazing man the merit he more than deserves after all the years of battling with scientist who as we all know make plenty of mistakes and can't see past the end of their noses most of the time and should be shown to be unreliable when they are especially when they try to discredit legitimate people and their research and prooven results, he had to wait 3 or more years for dna technology to advance before the skulls separate dna could be examined but as with the proof after 6 or more tests on humans not evolving on earth and our kind only existing the last 200,000 years beyond a doubt even though some scientist didn't like it doesn't mean lloyd pye shouldn't be vindicated when scientifically prooven right beyond a shadow of a doubt and that's all i was doing Ian kilburn (talk) 13:12, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Ian kilburn! Thank you for leaving me a message with your questions and concerns. Your edits here and here had multiple issues. The content you added was not referenced or supported with any reliable sources, they contained clear issues with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, and contained numerous grammatical issues and even seemed to delve off-topic. I highly recommend that you start a discussion on the article's talk page and collaborate with other editors regarding the content you believe should be added. I also recommend that you review each of the policies and guidelines that I've linked you to here. They will further explain the issues with those edits, and answer any questions that you may have. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Good luck :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:51, 29 June 2016 (UTC)

If you get a notice that I reverted one of your edits, please disregard it -- it was just a smartphone misclick, and I've reinstated the edit. Regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 04:13, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Just in case you dont proactively check your email....

Hello, Oshwah. Please check your email; you've got mail!
It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template.

Hi Mike1901! I did! Sorry about that, man. I meant to reply to your email when I got it, but I got distracted and I let it fall off my to-do radar. I'll hit you back today :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 15:33, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

re editing my edit.

I am sorry you felt the need to remove my edit. It was impartial and factual. She *has* upset the party members, she *did* behave treacherously to her party leader who *is* very popular among the party members. So much so that tens of thousand of people joined the party since he came into power, and thousands have joined as a show of support to him since the motion.I can understand my edit being removed if it was untruthful or defamatory, but it was neither. Just as you accuse my comment of not being impartial, likewise I regard your removal of my edit, as not being impartial. Please reinstate it forthwith. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.92.214.124 (talk) 17:44, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi there! Thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns. Your edits here and here contain neutral point of view issues. In the article, you added the following quote: "despite the huge popularity of Mr Corbyn among the Labour party members who consider her treachery to be shameful." The word usage, sentence structure, and lack of a reference to a reliable source modifies the sentence to now appear as if an opinion and point of view has been injected into it. This is why I (as well as RickinBaltimore) reverted your changes. I highly recommend that you review Wikipedia's guidelines on neutral point of view, when you need to cite a reference with your changes, and how to identify reliable sources. These guidelines will provide you with all of the information that you need. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the guidelines that I've provided for you here. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you with anything that you need. Thanks for understanding, and I wish you happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:58, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

No subject

Hey Oshwah yeah you can remove the the "hope" statement but the other statements are true in the manga chapter 670 page 13, where Yaichiru states that Zaraki's body was unable to handle the immense power.Hence he could not fight his opponent.

My edits were legitimate and not a test

Hi. I received a message about my edits to the Chicana/o- Latina/o Law review page, which is a student-run journal of UCLA Law. I am the current co-editor in chief of the publication and edited the page to reflect the current members and made a few small stylistic edits. Please reinstate these edits.

Nougat

hi Oshwah i recently received this message:

Hello, I'm Oshwah. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Nougat seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

i changed to things in the text i am sure that they are need to be in that text first i changed the word : Iranian Azerbaijan to South Azerbaijan South Azerbaijan is the word that people in the Republic of Azerbaijan and in the whole Iran people use to call that place ! and the second change i made was adding this text: we can't call gaz Nougat you know Isfahan people really want to call gaz Nougat and they do so i researched and i find out that this to candis are absolutely different from each other and that's really funy to call Gaz a Noughet It's the thing i know and it could be wrong mybee ! but i added it because i believe that it was true ! please answer me ! saeedpr9@gmail.com 151.247.96.134 (talk) 00:42, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

You reverted an edit and left a warning

The sources you have for Ceán Chaffin being married to David Fincher are not accurate. Those are articles that do not mention anything of that sort. They are in a domestic partnership, but not married. You asked me to provide sources, and yet you reverted it back to david fincher as her husband. Now, there is only one article out there from years ago that mentions Chaffin as his "wife" and that was an editorial error. So long you have accurate evidence to claim that they are indeed married, why are you threatening me saying that I am vandalizing? Get your facts straight.

My user name GrayBot

Hello!

I apologise if my user name GrayBot violates wikipedia regulations, it's just a name I quite often use out of old habit, as a sort of default name, on various forums and online communities. Either that, or GråBot, which was not allowed. I am not a bot, I just feel like an old gray one, hence the name, but it's mildly funnier in Swedish (G-robot). If this name is not allowed, I can invent a different one for wiki, please let me know. Alternate name suggestions would be GrayScale, GrayBeard, GrayHill or GrayTree, which ever would be acceptable.

Hi GrayBot! Welcome to Wikipedia! Don't be sorry; you're new here and you didn't know. Having the word "bot" at the end of a username is reserved for bots, per Wikipedia's username policy (the rule is here). But don't worry! You can easily have it changed. Just go to this page and request a new username. Someone will change your username, and all of your edits and contributions will carry over. Sure; those four other usernames you suggested are just fine. You just can't have "bot" on your username as you do now. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Again, I offer you my sincere welcome! I'm happy that you're here! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:24, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I checked your link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CHU but I could not easily see how to request a name change. It had all the information, except how to actually do it. So, um, how do I request it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrayBot (talk • contribs) 02:51, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi again, GrayBot - Give this instruction page a go, and let me know if you run into any questions. I'll be happy to answer them and give you a hand! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, I think I got it, request pending. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrayBot (talk • contribs) 03:49, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Hi GrayBot! Awesome! No problem! I'm always happy to help. You should be fine to contribute while the username change is pending. If you are warned or even blocked by an administrator (although that happening would be unlikely), you can just let them know that you understand the username policy and that you have a username change request pending; that should be an absolutely sufficient explanation. If you have any more questions, or need help with any edits, guidelines, or even "norms or how-to's", please do not hesitate to message me and ask. I'll be happy to assist you with anything you need. Again, thank you for being so understanding and for taking the time and effort to make sure that you're following Wikipedia's policies; it shows extremely high maturity and good judgment (especially for an account that's only a few hours old). Cheers, my friend :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 03:54, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Thank you, but I'm very old, and used to work in IT before it was known as IT. The reason I joined was to add a page about a band that has only just risen to prominence. My page was contested. I tried to provide logical reasons as to why it should not be deleted. There is, so far, very little information about this band, but given that they just won a nationwide competition, interest will arise and information will be added, perhaps by the band themselves, or other fans.

I did join wikipedia about ten or so years ago, but I can't remember what my username was, and I was never a prominent member, hence the new account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GrayBot (talk • contribs) 04:30, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Kurt Vonnegut page addition

Hi, The piece of information I included on Kurt Vonnegut's page (which was subsequently removed) was his response to a question I had personally asked him at his 1999 Barnes and Noble book-signing/talk at the Union Square, NYC location. I am unsure as to how to properly cite this information.Frozenhan (talk) 04:10, 1 July 2016 (UTC)Brian

Hi Frozenhan! This information actually isn't citable within an article. The content and your personal interaction with the person constitutes original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Per Wikipedia's verifiability policy, all content added to any article must either be attributable to a reliable source, or directly attributed to a reliable source using an in-line citation. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but this is one of the many Wikipedia policies and guidelines that standardize the content that we add, and what makes Wikipedia content the highest quality possible. I highly recommend that you review the policies that I've linked you to here, as they will provide you with the information you need in order to make Wikipedia a great place to visit. If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please do not hesitate to message me and ask. I'll be more than happy to answer your questions and assist you with anything that you need.

Alvin high school

":" I was a student at Alvin High School and remained connected from 1966-1973. The references were from my own memory and experience: my attempts at editing obviously failed. On the basis of requiring references then, 90% of the article as it appears is not referenced and unverifiable. Therefore the whole article should be tossed out on that basis, if not on the basis that the article is unbalanced and favors athletics over scholastics. 72.132.237.59 (talk) 05:20, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

Humility page error

It's absurd that this page would include "Meher Baba" under world religions. Anything to do with a guru or cult shouldn't be part of this page. It's insulting that page authors would choose to include Meher Baba and not Scientology or Heaven's Gate or any other BS religion. Offensive. And misleading. Please take this down and stop using classic religious concepts to plug your personal guru, who happened to be violent and take people for all their money. At the very least, separate that entry into "new age spiritual movements" or something to separate it from respected world religions like Buddhism and Taoism. Then whenever you think of another quack, like Manson or Jim Jones, you can add him to that subsection, since he too probably made a comment about humility. Sorry for the rageful tone, but you must be selling the cool-aid to have written MB in there. Can't think of another reason why you would include it. --mplax — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:806C:670:98F5:52EF:C128:574A (talk) 05:55, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

The Mongolian president's page

Hi Oshwah,

Sorry for the recent vandalism! I was partially trying to test Wikipedia's NLP vandalism detection bots, but I was also a bit mad about the tone/neutrality of the page. It reads like almost like a campaign ad. I was wondering how I could legitimately bring in some of the criticisms about the president.

Moreover, does Wikipedia actually have NLP vandalism detection bots or is it just users? If so, can I test the bots in the sandbox?

Thanks!
