Coming here to ask why I reverted your edit? Read this page first... |
| Welcome to my talk page! I am an administrator here on Wikipedia. That means I am here to help. It does not mean that I have any special status or something, it just means that I get to push a few extra buttons to help maintain this encyclopedia. If you need help with something, feel free to ask. Click here to start a new topic.

| First, please remember that I am not trying to attack you, demean you, or hurt you in any way. I am only trying to protect the integrity of this project. If I did something wrong, let me know, but remember that I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please keep your comments civil. If you vandalize this page or swear at me, you will not only decrease the likelihood of a response, your edits could get you blocked. (see WP:NPA) When posting, do not assume I know which article you are talking about. If you leave a message saying "Why did you revert me?", I will not know what you mean. If you want a response consisting of something other than "What are you talking about", please include links and, if possible, diffs in your message. At the very least, mention the name of the article or user you are concerned with. If you are blocked from editing, you cannot post here, but your talk page is most likely open for you to edit. To request a review of your block, add Administrators: If you see me do something that you think is wrong, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo my actions. I would, however, appreciate it if you let me know what I did wrong, so that I can avoid doing it in the future. |
One America News
I properly cited multiple sources which refer to One American News as conservative instead of far right. It is not "far right" just because you do not like it. I reserve my right to make that edit.

You seemed to have missed my ping there--I asked a question about what your further plans for the article on VPS are. MrClog (talk) 22:01, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
Sorry, MrClog I don't really have plans, so little time, so many fish. Doug Weller talk 12:24, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
Editor adding original research
Hi, could you or any of your page-watchers please intervene in Christchurch mosque shootings article? The article contains original research in the background section which seems to be added there to justify what that terrorist did. I was reverted by an editor who seems not to understand what an original research is.see here-SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:50, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- None of the sources there are related to the shooting. There should be no debate about this original research but yet I got reverted. It seems that it was added there just to justify the terrorist attacks against Muslims.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:52, 28 March 2020 (UTC) SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 08:54, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- The contributions link at the top of your talk page (Halloween section) is linking to another editor contributions.--SharʿabSalam▼ (talk) 09:13, 28 March 2020 (UTC)
- @SharabSalam: sorry, busy day. I see Drmies stepped in. The other editor was my first account, but I need to fix that. And maybe the Halloween bit when I can figure out what I did! Doug Weller talk 19:44, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

wikipedia needs more happiness
Fringe theories are sometimes the truth of tomorrow. You need more respect with new ideas. Sad to cope with oldschoolers like you. Good luck. --95.127.172.55 (talk) 03:21, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
IP sock of Frindle222/Dante8
Very similar IP, same interests. See this article history for an example, and here's the SPI page for a refresher: [1] Suggesting rangeblock because their IP shifts: [2] And hopefully it can be lengthy. Let me know if you have any questions or need more info. Crossroads -talk- 04:41, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Crossroads: looks like a duck so feel free to revert it all. I'm asking my CU colleagues about a larger rangeblock - I don't want a lot of collateral damage. Meanwhile I've blocked the /64,[3] but it seems to change every few days.Doug Weller talk 17:50, 30 March 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks so much for working on it. Crossroads -talk- 04:18, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Harran
Dear Doug Weller,
I've had a problem yesterday in the article Harran, there is an editor who seems to know quite a lot in the Archaeological field but he uses only his own books to reference what he writes, doesn't answer on the talk page, and writes on his user page he is the author (Mehmet Önal) of the books and an excavator of archaeological items. I checked the books, I only found them on academia, but they were about the subject. Yesterday he attempted to introduce empty sections he later probably would have wanted to fill. Like you can do it in the sandbox, and didn't stop to try. So the last time he attempted it I thought ah common...and I let the text stay, and him try. He didn't fill them during the night, so I removed them again. I've seen you are active in the archaeology project. He just joined yesterday, so he is new; how do you deal with thes editors who seem to have a good knowledge in the field the write in but not of the wikipedia guidelines? I'd like to get him on board, but he needs to also use other sources than his book and interact with the wikipedia community. What are your thoughts? Paradise Chronicle (talk) 09:11, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
- @Paradise Chronicle: he's clearly a prominent archaeologist in his country, at one point he was head of department. But yeah, there's a problem. I think Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Archaeology is the best place to ask this so that others can get involved, including Joe Roe another Admin. But read my note on their talk page first, ok? We want this expert to help us. Doug Weller talk 09:26, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
Thank you
...for catching and blocking the vandal, User:Shreksonion35. Your diligence is very much appreciated. I will look back at the effected articles in the coming week, to see if he returns under a different guise. Cheers. 2601:246:C700:19D:9028:32A4:101A:458F (talk) 17:50, 31 March 2020 (UTC)
