White Croats
I rewrote the article White Croats with over 120 ref-notes. Previous had templates of Original research and Refimprove, for obvious reasons, but don't understand their return by you for current revision? Is there some issue I didn't notice? As for the infobox, it's just unnecessary as there's no info to put in it, and if was (and don't know which - previously only under language Lechitic, which is obvious OR), don't see how much it would improve the article.--Crovata (talk) 11:21, 5 January 2016 (UTC)
Re:
Can you be specific and tell me what is the wrong with my edits? because my first edit i reverted the content which was removed by IP address [1], and the second i fixed the problems of references [2]. I think you made a mistake and you should restore my edits on Al-Nassr FC. Hazel (talk) 15:02, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi, this is Hsiao-Hung Pai. The reason why I removed the picture was because I don't want to use any picture for the Wikipedia entry. Hope that is acceptable. Apologies for the inconvenience caused! Secret red (talk) 07:46, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
you reverted my edit?
How was that vandalism? Sorry I'm new to editing wikis, but it's a proven fact that cyclobenzaprine is significantly less effective at treating skeletal muscle pain than carisoprodol. I didn't say cyclobenzaprine wasn't safer, I said it was less effective, which is true.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.171.231.193 (talk • contribs)
- Wrong number - haven't edited Carisoprodol or Cyclobenzaprine, at least in recent times. @Jytdog reverted your edit because you did not provide a source for that "proven fact". Without such verifiability, anyone could declare "facts" such as Elvis Presley inventing the Nitrogen laser. Dl2000 (talk) 15:21, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Kota Hazrat Nizamuddin Jan Shatabdi Express
Hi there,
Could I have your opinion on Leo Frank's edit for Kota Hazrat Nizamuddin Jan Shatabdi Express. My opinion is that it removes a large amount of information that makes the page what it is.
Superfast1111 (talk) 11:44, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
My apologies.
Dear Dl2000,
I apologize for removing this template, thereby causing you some unnecessary work to re-instate it.
I think it was only in the 'W' list, which is why I removed it, for consistency. Again, I am sorry if I did something wrong.
Please let me know if it should also be inserted in all the other lists, and I'll propagate it across there too. Thank you.
With kind regards;

Article Inykhnum
Hi there. I undid your revert on Inykhnum. The changes I did are part of an update project. Our portal is working on meeting a new and more reader friendly standard. As a member of this project I work especially on early dynastic nobles and officials. My changes are always patrolled by my co-authors, thus no vandalisms. Regards;--Nephiliskos (talk) 09:21, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Content for WMH
Hello,
Thank you for your message. I've requested a username change purely because I take your advise it could be misconstrued as COI - which it isn't. This article and any amendments are purely for factual purposes, not promotional. No monies or any other kind of promotion has taken place with the items cited. Perhaps a little too much citing has taken place; however that was purely to ensure that the content remained factual and not "fluffy" or "promotional" in anyway.
Please advise further with any further recommendations. I wish to follow all guidelines.
Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wmhagency (talk • contribs) 16:24, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Disclaimer above CityFALCON article
Dear, Dl2000!
Above the article on CityFALCON (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CityFALCON) there is a window which state, that the article uses unreliable sources, but there are links on such sources as Forbes, Businessinsider etc. What shall I do to make sources more reliable? Thank you in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gevlare (talk • contribs) 08:46, 8 February 2016 (UTC)
Disclaimer CityFALCON
DI2000 thank you for the reply and for the link! I have read wiki article on reliable sources. Now I suggest to delete any links that you consider not to be reliable. They are almost duplicate each other so any valuable information won't be lost. Thank you in advance! Preceding unsigned comment added by Gevlare (talk • contribs) 10:47, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
DMY/MDY
Greetings. I have a couple of queries about your edits to Daulis Prescott: 1. Could you point me to a list on WP where it says that Colombia uses DMY instead of MDY, or other such regional variations (as in what they use in the rest of South America, Africa, etc.); 2. What is a "timewarped ref"? At WP:CITESTYLE and WP:CITEVAR, it clearly states that any style may be used, so why change it to citeweb after I spent all that time overhauling the article? (i.e. [I]t is normal practice to defer to the style used by the first major contributor.) Mac Dreamstate (talk) 23:47, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
- That explains it—I thought "timewarped" meant a broken ref or something, rather than a numerical error. Mac Dreamstate (talk) 17:27, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
Policy discussion in progress
There is a policy discussion in progress at the Manual of Style which affects the capitalization of "Someone like You", a question in which you previously participated. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. — LlywelynII 02:21, 13 February 2016 (UTC)
Conflict of interest
Hello,
Thank you very much for your notification about my edits to the "Stefan Reif" article.
I'm not clear, however, how my submission is a conflict of interest. Yes, I did write a book on this topic, and I did speak with and exchange several emails with Professor Reif for my book. But since then I've had very little interaction with him at all. I was really just trying to complete the record on his work. Is this a conflict of interest?
Thanks in advance for your response,

Promotional Material
Hello,
You flagged my edits on Stefan Reif as "Promotional Material." In reality, I was just trying to complete the record on the work of this important scholar - I have had very little contact with him since I wrote my book about the Cairo Genizah. Is it possible for you to reconsider your decision?
Thanks in advance

Re:
That content falls under db-g5 which I can confirm in my steward's capacities, ciao! --Vituzzu (talk) 22:33, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
Saw your revert and thanks. The article is the subject of a university course and well-meaning efforts by several students ("grumble, grumble, why'd they trash the infobox? sheesh!"). Their instructor posted a rather lengthy outline on the Talk page. The article's on my watchlist, but after one revert, I decided to grit my teeth and wait until the current term passes to go back and clean up the aftermath of the party. Not that I'm against cleaning up as it goes along, but I've decided for the sake of my own sanity to join Mr. Thoreau for the season. Just sayin', is all. Cheers!

hi about your message : April 2016

Your recent message
Hi, thanks for your message. The edits to the article in question were made in line with edits made to the world passport article which were made by concensus. Consequently, these edits were necessary on the WSA article as well, in order to maintain cohesion between articles. As I'm sure this is just a good will mistake on your behalf, I've reverted your reversion. --Île flottante (talk) 17:35, 17 April 2016 (UTC)
Response to your message
The edit of mine which you reverted was simply trying to restore the page to its original content. It has since 2014 been hijacked by an IP to create a fake biographical article which I have now nominated for deletion at AFD. Ytfc23 (talk) 21:51, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- @Ytfc23: Fair enough, but next time you replace an article with a redirect to a completely unrelated subject, you need some sort of justification in the edit summary. It would also have helped to verify and tag the refs, raise the hoax concerns earlier, maybe with a talk page discussion. Dl2000 (talk) 22:16, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
- I realise that, it was a case that I had never seen before of an entirely fictitious page, but yes I should have made it clear in my edit summary the reasons for my edit. Ytfc23 (talk) 22:18, 20 April 2016 (UTC)
Visa requirements for Malaysian citizens
Hi. Do you know what means inuse-section? Why did you amend the article with this warning? --Norvikk (talk) 20:04, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
- I didn't put in the inuse-section, but ideally it means it shouldn't be left unedited for about six hours. Dl2000 (talk) 20:15, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Nikki Laoye
I reverted your removal of copyvio content. http://dailymail.com.ng/biographyprofile-of-award-winning-gospel-artist-nikki-laoye/2/ is dated February 20, 2015 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nikki_Laoye&oldid=642105133 is the state of the article 2015-01-12T03:47:17. The copy was already present in the Wikipedia article before the dailymail.com.ng article was written. Walter Görlitz (talk) 05:47, 11 May 2016 (UTC)
Murat Han
The creator of Murat Han did keep on removing the BLP unsourced tag-you might want to give him another warning for that! Wgolf (talk) 23:14, 20 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Wgolf: Based on this edit, the tag removal coincided with an attempt to add a ref, although that ref link didn't work properly (i.e. did not go to a page relating to Murat Han or the Bliss film). Given the attempt at referencing, a tag removal warning didn't seem accurate at this point. However, will msg the creator with an unref BLP welcome message for now.

Enrique Alfaro
Hello, I did say why I changed the article: "Redirecting to more relevant Enrique Alfaro Ramírez current municipal president of Guadalajara" I also added another page with the overwritten article content's here Enrique Alfaro Rojas and added a disambiguation template on the Enrique Alfaro. Enrique Alfaro Ramírez is much more relevant than Enrique Alfaro Rojas, you can see it here: https://www.google.com/trends/explore#q=enrique%20alfaro%20ramirez%2C%20enrique%20alfaro%20rojas
Thanks for checking that everything was alright, but please reverse the change. I think it's justified and according to Wikipedia Policies. --Shishanyu (talk) 03:13, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Reverted your changes, it makes the articles more inaccurate. Also why are you deleting the references? They are valid. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shishanyu (talk • contribs) 03:29, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Again, I made separate articles for each person, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez and Enrique Alfaro Rojas the one you are saying should be on Enrique Alfaro. Like I said and proved with just queries in google, Enrique Alfaro Ramírez is more relevant by a wide margin than Rojas. Please stop unfixing this. --Shishanyu (talk) 21:14, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
I'll be moving the page contents to the Rojas article to preserve the history, if that's your concern. But please understand that Ramirez is the most relevant of the two so the redirection should go to Ramirez. --Shishanyu (talk) 21:27, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
Willy Fick
Hello Dl2000. I almost made the same mistake (changing the format to DMY because of the template) until I checked the article's edit history, which shows use of MDY format from the start. Here's the edit in which the {{Use dmy dates}} template was added: [3] Note that at this point the article was a tiny stub and there weren't any dates in it at all; therefore the template was improper, as the MOS does not mandate any one style for articles that have no "strong ties to a particular English-speaking country" (quoting MOS:DATETIES). The editor who has helpfully expanded this article can use their preferred format—the article does need more refs though. Ewulp (talk) 06:12, 12 June 2016 (UTC)
2016–17 Azerbaijan Premier League
Hi Dl2000, please explain how my edit to 2016–17 Azerbaijan Premier League was disruptive? At the moment the page has been created as a pure copy of the 2015–16 Azerbaijan Premier League article, notice the results section etc. My edit removed all of this inaccurate information regarding the 2016-17 season, and also included references as to the reduction of teams from 10 to 8. --Dave logic (talk) 06:51, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Some updates for: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_International_Documentary_Conference
Established in 1987, the Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) is the Asia-Pacific’s largest event for documentary, factual and unscripted screen content. [1]
The Australian International Documentary Conference (AIDC) was first established in 1987 and began life as a biennial conference. Since then it has moved around different regions of Australia, mostly being held in capital cities. Over the years it has grown from being a small conference with a few international guests, to being a major international annual event. The annual event acts as a conference and marketplace that aims to support both the creative and commercial needs of the industry.

The 2017 conference will take place in ACMI and Federation Square’s Deakin Edge Auditorium from 5 – 8 March, 2017. [6]
The $5,000 Stanley Hawes Award was established in 1997 to honour Stanley Hawes as first Producer-in-Chief of the Australian National Film Board and Commonwealth Film Unit. The award recognises the significant support he gave independent filmmakers in the documentary sector and is thus awarded to a person or organisation that makes an outstanding contribution to the documentary sector in Australia.[2] The award is announced annually at the Australian International Documentary Conference. [7]
I am hoping you can help me update information about the Australian International Documentary Conference. The page hasn't been updated for a long time and a lot of facts are missing. Some of the links are also broken. I understand that it presents as a Conflict of Interest if I update the page, so I'm hoping you can review my proposed changes to see that they represent facts only: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_International_Documentary_Conference Brittarthur (talk) 05:23, 22 June 2016 (UTC) Britt Arthur

The edit u reverted is not good. The page i created is both short and more better pls advice how do i better that page --Varun ☎ 04:33, 3 July 2016 (UTC)
- @VarunFEB2003: Actually, your recent edit to that page had some serious problems. First, you wiped out 84 citations and replaced these with citations of other Wikipedia articles, something that generally should never be done, as explained in WP:CIRCULAR. The one citation which wasn't to a Wikipedia article didn't seem to be there before, and the source (affairscloud.com) is a user-supplied blog-type repository that does not seem sufficiently reliable (see WP:RS). Also, some of the table layouts were mangled, with some tables overlapping each other which caused a visual problem. There is generally nothing wrong with making an article more concise and improving the layout, but it is generally not a good idea to eliminate relevant verifiable content without good reason. You should probably test major table and layout changes outside the article e.g. in a "sandbox" or user space page. Better yet, you should probably discuss through your intended changes at Talk:Symbols of Indian states and territories before making further attempts. Dl2000 (talk) 17:37, 3 July 2016 (UTC)

BMW R100
Hi! Thank you for assisting with the BMW R100 article. The article was altered from the BMW R100S article... the BMW R100S is but a small subset of the BMW R100 series of motorcycles (several references note the BMW R100RS and BMWR100RT were produced in much higher numbers and were groundbreaking vehicles, while the BMW R100S was derivative of the BMW R90S), which did not have its own article, and was subsequently rewritten.
I'll alter the template to fit the BMW R100 generically, vice the BMW R100S specifically. If you have other specific concerns please let me know. Macboots (talk) 05:59, 12 July 2016 (UTC)
Subhan Sahib
Hi, just wanted to give you a heads up that I reverted your changes to the Subhan Sahib page. Just for some history, as it has caused a bit of confusion. The creator of the page had used the Asaf Ali page as a 'template' and then started to modify it. I was one of those who inadvertently and innocently reverted his modifications (with a failure to cite a RS reason), which 'restored' the template close to it's original state. I also tagged it with a CSD, which the administrator Iridescent then knocked back. He also restored the content that I had inadvertently reverted. You then came in and reverted the page back to it's Asaf Ali 'template', thinking that it was vandalism, when it was just a couple of humbled editors trying to make good faith and constructive edits. Quite an understandable mistake. I hope that has somewhat helped. Cheers. David.moreno72 (talk) 04:03, 13 July 2016 (UTC)
engvarb
I know you do magnificent work in dealing with engvar and dmy, any thoughts on my reaction in my recents re engvarb? JarrahTree 00:15, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree: not sure which "recents" you are referring to, but EngvarB is sometimes useful when there is mixed nationality of a subject, or the national ties are not yet clear e.g. notability in both Australia and UK, or ties to multiple Commonwealth nations. Dl2000 (talk) 00:52, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
- yes indeed you could be confused - when I see what I am trying to do on a monday morning, sigh. OK thanks, the issues are a bit more complicated than that, but for the moment I will leave it at that, sorry to have bothered, and thanks for the feedback JarrahTree 00:56, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
Tobruk
The lead singers name in Tobruk was Terry "Smurf" Sullivan. After Tobruk disbanded he joined a hard rock band called Delth Knell (not death). Shortly after he joined, the band changed the name to Tearaway. They also changed the musical style from Hard Rock to Heavy Metal and gigged around the London music scene for about 2 years with little success. The band disbanded in 1986. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rabitim (talk • contribs)
Nina Staehli
Thank you for support of Wikipedia. You marked the article of Nina Staehli with 3 issues https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nina_Staehli The Wiki expert from Germany had a look at it and felt it was ok.
Issue “resume”: Dr. Heinz Stahlhut, Head of the art collection, Museum of Art Lucerne has written a in depth text for each category to solve the issue “resume”. What else could be done to solve the matter?
Issue “sources”: The German wiki expert checked every link and sources and they all work and are reliable. E.g. all short movies on IMDB; and they check every single movie individually http://www.imdb.com/name/nm6442503/. Or the Swiss Institute of Art Research, their criteria to enter the database are very strict and on a high professional level http://www.sikart.ch/kuenstlerInnen.aspx?id=12306179 What else could be done to solve the matter?
Issue “notability”: In the field of art this is always difficult to decide. Nina Staehli is working for over 30 years in the art field and is shown in museums, art galleries, TV and others. Since she often works abroad, a Wikipedia article in English makes a lot of sense.

Dear friend. I added missing references to this article. Please read my edits first before reverting them. (Simiprof (talk)) —Preceding undated comment added 01:15, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
You lack patience. I added references to [1] and [2]
What is wrong with these two?
In addition I used information from [3]
- @Simiprof: You didn't actually add any references to the article itself, especially the scimagojr.com and vhbonline.org references you mention here. You simply removed maintenance templates without resolving the referencing issues or otherwise giving valid justification. You also made changes without adding new references. Also note inderscience.com is WP:PRIMARY source, and shouldn't be relied upon too much when secondary sources should be included. Dl2000 (talk) 01:43, 12 September 2016 (UTC)

User talk:202.89.170.57 Ammonia article: change of reference
In December 2015, in an article on the band Ammonia, you changed a reference to Potato Stars, a long-running musical act that originated in Perth, Western Australia and which has featured a veritable multiplex full of members over the past 21 years, counting up to 90 as on this morning. A number which may well have increased by this afternoon.
In the notification report of that imposed editorial decision you refer to a laudable Wikipedia policy direction which recommends all articles should strive to present a neutral point of view, then you went on to suggest that my "recent edit to Ammonia (band) seemed less than neutral to me". I must presume your editorial justification is in specific reference to a line in the previous draft of the article which prefaced the band name Potato Stars with the word 'supergroup'. The appellative noun 'supergroup' is a well known and widely recognised designatory term used to describe a musical act made up of members of various other famous bands.[1]
I wish to contest that editorial action and contended, to the cpntrary, that Potato Stars does most certainly conform to even the most narrow interpretation of the word supergroup. Previous Potato Stars members, known collectively as Spuds, have been drawn from such luminary Australian rock acts as Hoodoo Gurus, The Scientists, Ammonia, The Stems, Hedonists, The Rosemary Beads, Beaverloop and frankly too many more to name, while the current bag of Spuds includes Tony Pola, former drummer with Kim Salmon & The Surrealists and who, for the last 25 years, has manned the drum seat for Beasts of Bourbon, two of Australia's most influential Australian bands ever. Other current Spuds include members of cherished national and local West Australian bands such as Beautiful Losers, Jayco Brothers, Misfits and In Orbit.
None of the above may make any mnemonic impression upon those unfamiliar with Australian popular music of the past forty years. Therefore, in keeping with accepted journal publishing practice, and to further seal watertight in your mind the commonly held view that Potato Stars is indeed a supergroup, at least one verifiable third-party referral to Potato Stars as a supergroup can be found in recent annals of X-Press Magazine, Western Australia's pre-eminent street press. An interview published in 2014 under the impeccable byline of that magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Bob Gordon, is sub-headed "Perth supergroup Potato Stars are back to launch their Feedback Stoner Concerto EP at Ya Ya’s this Thursday, June 26, with support from D’ix and Like Junk. BOB GORDON checks in with frontman, Brian Dunne."[2]
QED, buddy, Potato Stars are a supergroup because rock magazines, newspapers and radio stations say we are, so everyone simply assumes it is true. Not you though, DI2000, no. And while it is a fact that within the band ranks we only ever refer to ourselves as a stuporgroup, it's kinda nice to be called super. Now, I suppose I could change it back myself easily enough but it really would give me a superwarm superfuzzy superfeeling if you'd do it on our superbehalf.
Superthanx, Prozac Boy aka plastic b aka Falcon Randwick or even Brian if you insist...
[1] Definition of supergroup
- a rock group made up of prominent former members of other rock groups; also : an extremely successful rock group

There are especially no superreferences to support Hensworth's role in that band during 2001, and in fact superunreferenced material can be superdeleted according to Wikipedia superpolicy. At least the PSs are being called a band while that statement is awaiting citations. Dl2000 (talk) 19:24, 25 September 2016 (UTC)

engvar cats
gday from sunny oz - interested in your ideas on talk page project tagging engvar cats (yup it is clear to see the blue box saying not content related - maintenance - but innerested in the actual status of red talk page status of such items - imho they needs to be id'd but that is a very long rave which will save you from at this stage... oops see below), or not or with which tag. no big deal any which way, just innerested
it is related to an idea of creating a specific wikiproject maintenance - that is able to 'capture' red talk page items that are not content related - to remove any stray project tags, and have a very specific project aimed at standardising and identification of the blue box not content world so that there is a sense of being able to maintain 'maintenance' category space with something like a project tag... I know some high edit eds we have here in wp en are averse to looking at talk pages for whatever their particular phobia might govern... but there is a potential argument to have red space blued out for reasons of 'completeness' and imho I am not interested in doing it manually, I am sure there is a bot intelligent enough to do so JarrahTree 01:58, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- @JarrahTree: So for example, the project would promote the application of {{Australian English}} to Australian articles? Also note that Engvar cats are often lacking in populated ("blue") talk pages e.g. Talk:Rove McManus. Or could this be something that is assisted by WP:BOT? e.g. the bot could detect an Engvar cat on an article, and populate the talk page accordingly, although it may wait for a stable talk e.g. a few weeks in place. An automated or semi-automated approach may be more reliable than setting up a project. Not sure how consistently active I might be on such a project although it has merit. @Ohconfucius has some experience in Engvar maintenance and may have further insight on the project concept. Dl2000 (talk) 02:25, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- V. Sorry - I do confuse people very very easily here on talk pages, my apologies. your comments are very interesting and expand the original intention of this msg. The potential for bots to do things I think should be explored carefully.
To try to clarify 3 things from me (1) whether engvar pages should relate back to the project of their country project with project tags (or not) - NZ to NZ and OZ to OZ. (2) if maintenance pages such as engvar cats by month are not linked to the country project - where to or how? (3) whether a project or automatic process might capture maintenance categories into a viable collection of some sort - if that has any merit.. I believe so, but as I have said very many main space category creators seem to have aversion to talk page space..JarrahTree 02:47, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- It is one of my pet peeves that people 'correct' a word that was correct to begin with. Having a bad case of "dispondia", where I can never be sure a word shouldn't have two ells in it, or whether it's -ise or -ize, I get irate about people who are so sure they change one to another *because*! Anyway, do you perhaps know whether there will ever be a ClueBoffin bot that will notice idle chat-chit changes from one variant to the now-identified-wrong variant? Then I can go back to simple dictionary ignorance. Shenme (talk) 04:42, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- I would hazard a guess that due to well intentioned but incorrect spelling changes, and category modificatios and other things there easily 100k items on wp en that need fixing, if there ever was a bot.... JarrahTree 01:07, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, re this edit: it's not necessary to add |format=dmy

I would like you to note Chris Philp's page makes no reference to his failed businesses Clearstone Training and Recruitment Limited, Clearstone West Herts Training Limited and Rollright Training Limited that went into administration owing over 4 million to customers, businesses and HMRC. This clearly is an important subject as he describes himself as a 'serial entrepreneur'

Merry Christmas! Just wondering why you tagged subject article for British English? As the creator of the article, I did not intend to limit myself (or other editors) to British English, since these tags may interfere with use of more descriptive vocabulary from other dialects. I was born in New England, as were five of my great-grandparents. The other three were from New York, Prince Edward Island, and Liverpool, England; so perhaps I have a somewhat wider appreciation for the value of diversity. Thewellman (talk) 03:02, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Thewellman: HMS Orchis (K76) was a Royal Navy ship and apparently not under any other ownership, thus it seemed to be exclusively a UK topic, so that was the rationale. Note that the tagging should not affect direct quotations from sources as spellings of these should not be refactored, if that was your concern about the descriptive vocabulary (see MOS:PMC). The tag can be removed if you still have a concern, however. Dl2000 (talk) 03:26, 24 December 2016 (UTC)
- Orchis was from that brief era when the Allied nations put their differences aside to work toward a shared goal. Few of the Canadian, American, Soviet, Norwegian, Greek, Dutch, Belgian, and Polish seamen who sailed in convoys protected by Orchis will ever read this article; but I hope their children and grandchildren may find a useful description of the little ship their ancestor may have watched as he looked out over the ominously cold and gray North Atlantic to see who stood between his ship and the waiting submarine wolf-packs.

Chris Philp article
Hello and thank you for your message.
I have looked at my changes and am unsure as to which Wiki guidelines I have broken.
I have added content to page that is factual, relevant and correctly sourced.
For example:-
Chris Philp describes himself as an entrepreneur, and lists his business successes, yet exclude those that went into administration. This is disingenuous as he has had business failures which left millions of pounds of outstanding debts.
His involvement with The Next Big Thing is mentioned in 'business' section - I have merely updated this item to advise the charity has now ceased trading - December 2016.
He is a politician, and is on the treasury select committee involved in tax regulation so I think having ongoing businesses in Jersey is relevant and also I believe.
He has written extensively about the NHS and its inefficiencies, therefore I believe his wife's private healthcare interests are also relevant.
I have tagged reliable sources to my added content.
Please note I do not seek to vandalise, abuse or cause offence, I merely would just like an objective Wiki page for this MP.
I welcome your comments.

I have no problem at all with this, but wonder what work it does. Please convince me (or point me to something which does) and I'll cheerfully add it to new articles myself. Thank you for your attention to detail. Best wishes, Dave DavidAHull (talk) 10:37, 8 February 2017 (UTC)
Eightball Records
Hello there. I noticed that you moved Eightball Records to Eightball Records (US) and summed up the edit as "NEW - fix hijack of Australian Eightball Records; dab in progress". However I don't recall any records or webpages of Australian record label called "Eightball Records", so I fail to see the point in creating two new pages to separate the 'US' record label and the alleged 'Australian' label. Furthermore, the [now] Eightball Records (Australia) has no references or sources to support its page. I will be nominated this for deletion and so reverting unless the page progresses.

Hello!
Hello!
Yesterday I edited the data of the registered person named Armand Duka (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armand_Duka) after editing the data are deleted on the grounds that they are not reliable or true.
I am a representative of Mr. Duka who is President of the Albanian Football Federation. All data are correct and are in his personal CV submitted to UEFA.
Sincerity by asking you to agree with these changes we have made since the page was first given a little more about life and activity of Mr. Duka.
Hoping to have your understanding and wishing you an auspicious day

Hi! Thank you for the message and I regret the lack of reasoning given. What I have since endeavored to do is:
- Update the page. I think it has not been updated since 2012, and much has happened for the subject between 2012 and now.
- Remove a massive amount of dead links, while retaining whatever references are still active or substantiate the actual sentence.
- To do this in a step by step manner and make sure to always provide reasoning and justifications within Wikipedia guidelines.
Thank you!

Thanks for the links! Will do that! PalwashaSaeed (talk) 08:08, 20 February 2017 (UTC)
Use British English
With respect to your recent edits to White and Poppe have you looked at a copy of the newspaper concerned because if you do you will find the format it uses (like many other august publications) is month day year and if it is not an English newspaper then I'm a Dutchman!

Padriac Colum
You had noted a source on Padraic Colum was a blog. However, that was a reprint of his lengthy introduction to Poems of the Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood (1916). I found the same piece as a google book (though not nearly as easy on the eyes to read) and noted it on the Talk Page, and also noted that this was a primary source and the information should come from a secondary source. I am new to all this, so I am hoping I did all this correctly. HedgeHogPower (talk) 23:15, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
- @HedgeHogPower: Thanks for noting this, seems reasonable. Have added further comment to the article talk page. Dl2000 (talk) 23:48, 9 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Time in China, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page That's (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Kate Champion
Hello - can you please explain why the edits made to Kate Champion wiki were removed? they were neither inflammatory nor promotional. It is an historical record of all her work to date as a director and choreographer. 1000's of other theatre makers and artists have very similar profiles. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Becallen (talk • contribs) 18:42, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
Hi, I edited the wiki page about myself (not having seen guidelines which advise against). I have not added or taken away anything contentious, just corrected a few items and added my books to the booklist. Some of the info about the ART referred to only I can add as I am the only paid employee. Hope that's ok. 1 April 2017 — Preceding unsigned comment added by MartinRCrawford46 (talk • contribs) 16:22, 1 April 2017 (UTC)

Total Star
Hi,
You reverted my edit of the Total Star page. I don't understand why, the station has re-launched www.totalstarmed.com
There is also a DAB license in place for Somerset and the station will be launching on that platform shortly.
Would you be kind enough to update it.

You did not read the reference before undoing, I am guessing. The reference is already in the article, however, the sentence the reference is linked to contradicts what the reference mentions. Please read the entire article first. If you believe I am wrong, let us discuss it in the talk page. (104.148.132.146 (talk) 14:42, 6 May 2017 (UTC))

European Science Foundation Page
Hi. I'm the external authorised PR contact for ESF Science Connect (European Science Foundation). I think that you recently sent a warning and reverted edits (made) back to the original text at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Science_Foundation. Unfortunately this page is in an extreme failed state with entirely obsolete information that is inaccurate and misleading. All we were trying to do was to update it to the real life position and then hopefully the wikipedia community would take it from there. What are we to do when a page is not maintained by the community and falls into total and comprehensive disrepair? It's simply crazy that a page could be left sit there and that the organisation it refers to cannot alter it in good faith (appreciating of course that it must not be promotional). What would you recommend? Thanks very much for any guidance. The Archway (talk) 16:26, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Daniel Padilla References
Hello I saw your edited on Daniel Padilla article and it is so much helpful. But since there is so many bare references please just fix the proper ref with citation templates so that you are not tired to edit because it will change anyway. Thank You so much
