Why you revert edit? Wales could found funny that phrase, he have a good sense of humor... --[[Special:Contributions/151.49.88.52|151.49.88.52]] ([[User talk:151.49.88.52|talk]]) 18:50, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Henna - Palestinian community

Hello,

I noticed that you recently reverted the change I made on the Henna page from Israel to Palestine. To be more accurate, the page must indicate that it is Palestinian and other Arab Jewish communities, not Israelis/Ashkenazi Jewish communities that traditionally do henna. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8802:1100:2B7:65BC:57A1:39CB:DE31 (talk) 21:15, 29 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

My mistake.

My mistake, I was just on the Recent Changes log and it came up as a page that may need review, and me not being educated in the subject I reverted it. My bad. --StarlightStratosphere (talk) 22:14, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@StarlightStratosphere: Hey! there is absolutely no need for you to apologize for that, you are doing a great job! Shellwood (talk) 22:30, 1 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Croatian Wikipedia - 2013 controversy about right-wing bias

Why did you erase correct article about far right bias of Croatian wikipedia? I know you can't speak Croatian but try to use Google translate for articles I wrote about, those articles severely far right biased, those were about fascist collaborators in Croatia during WW2 and there were no any informations they were war lords and war criminals. Do you support such a articles? Bukowski112 (talk) 20:34, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Bukowski112: You are adding unsourced content and you can't use Wikipedia as a reference. Shellwood (talk) 20:41, 2 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Alberta separatism

This article is filled with inconsistencies, poor grammar, syntax and language. It is difficult to read due to the often conflicting change in tenses midway through a sentence or paragraph. It lacks proper citation on many of its' facts and too often relapses into opinion and conjecture.

Secondly, There is no such thing as an "Alberta citizen" if you are a Canadian citizen who is resident in Alberta you are an Albertan and a Canadian citizen. Albertans receive their right to vote at Alberta general elections by virtue of their Canadian citizenship and not by being resident in Alberta alone! Indeed being resident in Alberta confers no rights or liberties whatsoever and therefore aside from the lack of legislation, common law, tradition or precedent creating and recognising Albertan citizenship such a title is all but useless.

Thirdly, the sentence: "These programs were seen by many Albertans as an attack on oil resources and the promotion of Liberal "anti-Albertan" conservative values were seen as a negative influence for Albertans". Does not make logical sense with the verb "conservative" between "anti-Albertan" and "values". What the writer has inadvertently stated is that conservative values are both viewed negatively by Albertans and are Anti-Albertan as well as Liberal (ie from the Liberal party). You must remove the word "conservative" for the sentence to follow logically from the first premise! ie. These programs are seen as an attack...

Honestly, the article is so poorly written and edited it makes a mockery of Alberta separatism and leads to ridicule. I would suggest a complete and total re-write. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.44.150.150 (talk) 10:10, 3 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

'socially just'

Hi Shellwood,

I see you reverted my recent edit on Distributive justice and I'm unclear as to what you found unproductive here. "social justice" is a noun phrase and "socially just" is its adjectival form; my edit makes the sentence more grammatical. Is there a compelling reason to keep the more clunky phrasing?

Thank you for the correction. Shellwood (talk) 08:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Persistent vandalism on Sweden Democrats

Hi, i talked with another admin recently about this topic on the AIV, and i asked him if it would be the case to apply stricter protection on the article; otherwise, i'm pretty sure that IP vandals and new users will continue to attack it until the end of the Swedish general election, because that's what happened in the last 3 days and is happening right now.--GenoV84 (talk) 12:04, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@GenoV84: Hi, this is a sensitive issue. If vandalism or disruptive editing becomes a problem I support a temporary semi-protection until 10th september. Shellwood (talk) 12:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I really put a lot of effort on that page and i can't spend the next 2 weeks to rollback every disruptive edit from hordes of vandals everytime, the admins neither.--GenoV84 (talk) 12:28, 4 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Kangolu

hi.i am a man from kangelo village. this village name is kangelo.kangolu is incorrect.you can see in google maps. Nasim96 (talk) 21:39, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

kangolu

how delete a wikipedia page like kangolu that incorrect? kangelo ia correct. can you edit this name or delete kangolu? Nasim96 (talk) 22:04, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nasim96: See here for information about such process WP:AFD, but your own article with the alternative spelling has yet to be reviewed. I think some sort of redirect based on consensus would be best in this case. Shellwood (talk) 22:11, 5 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]


Sources needed for Days of the Year pages

I see you recently accepted a pending change to July 5.

You're probably not aware of this change, but Days of the Year pages are no longer exempt from WP:V and direct sources are required for additions. For details see the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide. Another editor has gone ahead and un-accepted this edit and backed it out.

As a pending changes patroller, please do not accept additions to day of year pages where no direct source has been provided on that day of year page. The burden to provide sources for additions to these pages is on the editor who adds or restores material to these pages. Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 03:05, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Toddst1: I am fully aware of this policy and the sources used in the article indeed states that his birthday is 5/7/89 [1], I suggest you correct this. Shellwood (talk) 12:32, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
And why wasn't that in July 5? You accepted it without a direct source and you shouldn't have. Toddst1 (talk) 20:27, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Toddst1: There is a direct source in the article, do some research. I also suggest you remove the warning template you gave to the user who insterated this in the first place, since that edit clearly was constructive. Shellwood (talk) 20:41, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
So, I don't know how to say this more plainly. A source in the article is not good enough. As it's stated in WP:USERG, "a wikilink is not a reliable source." That is why the requirement for a direct source on the WikiProject Days of the Year style guide was added. Toddst1 (talk) 21:56, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
@Toddst1: And I cant understand how you again and again fail to see the source above, which also is used as a reference in the article about the subject. Shellwood (talk) 22:07, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Again, it doesn't matter if it's in the article. Toddst1 (talk) 23:40, 6 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
