Villa Vizcaya, in Miami. I took this photo, as well as the others on this page. Plus about 20,000 or so others.

That's thank you, from A to Z (by word or language). Sometimes I'm not good about thanking folks who thank me for my aimless fiddling around on Wikipedia. So in case I do forget, this should cover it. If you'd like more words of appreciaton, find them here.

Hey, they even have translations of the classic My hovercraft is full of eels!

Here (and on my user page) are a few of the photos I've taken in my NRHP roadtrips. More to be found here.

Also, if you have an issue with me on Wikipedia, please comment here on Wikipedia. Not on Wikicommons, not on WikiVoyage, not on the Tardis Wikia. Here. Or not at all.

Amelia Warner

Ebyabe, I have left a WP:3RR warning at the Talk page of the IPv6 who has been active at Amelia Warner. If they restore that information now, after being warned, I would take them to WP:ANEW... Cheers! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:30, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Thanks much. :) --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Border Town ‖ 05:57, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

To update, a different IP restored the same content last night. But I'm not going to revert this time, lest I get too close to technical edit warring... --IJBall (contribs • talk) 18:57, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

I reverted it. I have no qualms about reverting vandalism, especially when personal attacks are included, as were done in that edit. Cheers!  :) --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 05:44, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi Interested to understand why these edits or (some) associated edits are deemed inappropriate or personal attacks. They appear neither. Children's names are included in many profiles so not sure why different here? Genuine question. Wikipedia rules are complex and lack consistency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 185.69.144.186 (talk) 08:48, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

The children are not notable, so information about them is not included. Please notice that the children's names are not on the Jamie Dornan page either. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - State of the Union ‖ 08:51, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

See WP:BLPNAMES, WP:NPF and WP:CHILD for further details. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Inspector General ‖ 08:54, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Noted though this does not explain inconsistencies with other pages or even Jamie Dornan international pages. Why are Dornan children non notable but others are. Names are a matter of public record and have been included in several press releases as have several quotes (non child related) referenced. I still do not understand why the edits are removed in this case and not others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.255.237.171 (talk) 10:35, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

See WP:Other stuff exists – the fact that things are done wrong at some articles has no bearing on whether they should be done correctly on the articles one edits. The bottom line – there is zero reason for a widely-available public encyclopedia like this to widely disseminate the names and birthdates of non-notable children, as per policies like WP:BLPNAMES and WP:BLPPRIVACY, etc. Just because other editors at other articles are ignoring these policies doesn't mean that we should. --IJBall (contribs • talk) 17:09, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Wow. You editors really are sanctimonious and full of self importantance. I will investigate whether there is a mechanism for reporting rudeness. Regardless of the rights and wrongs you have no reason to be patronising. Wikipedia is a public information forum so auditing items in the public domain is both pointless and smacks of censorship. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.255.237.171 (talk) 18:01, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Please feel free to report your concerns at WP:ANI. Also please review policies about what constitutes personal attacks. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Health and Welfare ‖ 18:37, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Do you think this is another CensoredScribe/TreCoolGuy/Musicbyac sock? Sro23 (talk) 08:28, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

It does seem to be a very similar behavior pattern. I was thinking it was a sock of somebody, but couldn't figure who. If it isn't CensoredScribe, I'd be surprised. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 09:41, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

One of the more recent ones was Schmidt-austin --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Repel All Boarders ‖ 09:44, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Namor has both categories added. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Border Town ‖ 09:47, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

I'm wondering about Omanyd too. Which is Dynamo backwards, for what that's worth. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Union of Opposites ‖ 09:49, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Regardless, SPI has been filed here. Sro23 (talk) 22:03, 26 February 2017 (UTC)

Got another one for you...

Hi Ebyabe. I suspect I'm going to be needing your help with new user Divide223 – e.g. take a look at Nina Dobrev. What's worrisome about that one especially is that the daterange change is exactly the same as what now-banned user Speedy135 was trying to do at Nina Dobrev last month, so I am concerned that this new one may be a sock account of Speedy135. In any case, I'd appreciate it if you could keep an eye on this one too... Thanks! --IJBall (contribs • talk) 01:56, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Unnecessary editing

Don't do things unnecessarily. You have messed the whole page. Singh name was mentioned in the source which i had added. Wiki222222 (talk) 09:26, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Actually, no he wasn't. And even if he was, there was nothing in the source to indicate why that is notable. Please discuss the changes you wish to make on the article talk page. Continuing your current course of action may result in you and User:Danishmajiddar being blocked. Thank you and have a pleasant day. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Health and Welfare ‖ 18:14, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Also, there are no articles on English Wikipedia for Nuzhat Jabeen and Ram Kishan Singh. If you wish to assert their notability, it would help if articles existed here to aid in that. Thank you and have a delightful evening. --‖ Ebyabe ^talk - Health and Welfare ‖ 18:18, 12 March 2017 (UTC)

Mr. Ebyabe, kindly go through the edit first, don't revert unnecessarily.
