Thanks for removing Advertisement from "Delhi High Court" Page

Thanks, for the immediate response. --A.R.V. Ravi (talk) 03:18, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. Meters (talk) 03:36, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I am not vandalising the 68000 page, Guy Harris is.

He wrote a section which must have taken him hours which is not relevant.

CPU bit ratings are simply NOT determined by "the instruction set architecture" he insists on diverting to. You will notice almost everything he wrote was not about the topic of that page, most of what he wrote was about a completely different system, the IBM 360. That whole section has no relevance to the discussion. I removed it because it is just a waste of time, it should be removed. Vapourmile (talk) 05:25, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes you are vandalizing that talk page. You do not have the right to delete a talk page thread. The other user is correct in restoring it, and reverting your blankings is not vandalism or edit warring. You have done so five times. You have broken 3RR today. Leave it alone, or you will almost certainly be blocked. The thread is from mid-2020. Just leave it be. And try reading all of the notes saying not to post to my unprotected page (this one) unless my main page is protected (which it is not). Meters (talk) 05:30, 26 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Goffstown High School

Would you mind taking a look at Goffstown High School#"The Big Fizz incident"? It seem to be a complete fabrication. -- Marchjuly (talk) 11:27, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I basically manually reverted most of the recent edits that were made to the article, but I might've missed a thing or two so perhaps you could take a peek. I think this is pretty much the same editor or editors you came across causing mischief on other high school articles like Bedford High School (New Hampshire). You've already warned a couple of them about the other articles, so it's seem pointless to do so again. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:05, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Done. You didn't miss much (an extra 10,000 students). Obviously the same person or group using the same IP and account as last time so so I did up the warnings. Thanks. Meters (talk) 16:56, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought asked for a NOTHERE block on the named account. Has never made a constructive edit, so not much point in waiting for more of the same stupidity. Meters (talk) 17:38, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And indef'ed. Meters (talk) 18:10, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for taking a look at these. -- Marchjuly (talk) 22:31, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for leaving them warnings like Special:Diff/1015206714 and Special:Diff/1015206892. --Ashley yoursmile! 05:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Take a look at this

These are the Italian IPs which have been disrupting Gaudie. Beyond My Ken (talk) 14:10, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Beyond My Ken: Thanks. More extensive than I had realized. The Gaudie edits started shortly after Emilia Nuotio was installed as editor, which may explain the sudden Italian interest in this small Scottish school newspaper. Meters (talk) 18:29, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Help with sales of singles

Hello friend, I hope and you can help me, on the page of Hips don't lie and Waka Waka they have other numbers but here they downloaded them? I ask you to update the data well, Waka Waka is already at 15 million and Hips don't lie already at 13 million. Links: https://www.sonymusicpub.com/en/songwriters/741/shakira and Waka Waka: https://www.refinery29.com/en-us/2019/06/235646/shakira-waka-waka-this-time-for-africa-world-cup-song-history-meaning . If these sources are used as verifiable for their respective pages I hope and they can be used as reliable sources also in that section. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexanderShakifan29 (talk • contribs) 15:49, April 6, 2021 (UTC) AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 21:15, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Please sign your talk page posts.

The edit to List of best-selling singles was undone by user:Binksternet with the summary "Rv... these sources are not good enough" The original edit was made by user:Alejandro Ortiz 15, not by you, and you have both posted nearly identical requests on the article's talk page (actually three nearly identical posts, one now removed). Are you using both accounts? And just now a third account user:Bey-have was created to add the same same comment a fourth time. Not a good idea to create multiple accounts in an attempt to influence article content, if that is what you are doing.

As for the content, no I won't proxy the edit for you. I am not familiar with what types of sources are normally used for these sales claims, but the sources do not look particularly strong to me. I strongly suspect that Birksternet is correct. The material is under discussion on the talk page (four times). Wait for that those discussions to conclude. Meters (talk) 19:00, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

And if those sources are being used in other articles that's an issue for those articles, not an argument to use those sources in this article. Meters (talk) 19:01, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I had 2 accounts but I lost the password for one, the Bey-have account was not me, that was another account. Only Alejandro Ortiz and I are my accounts. And in fact I could not eliminate Alejandro Ortiz's, I did not understand very well why it cannot be updated. I'm confused.AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 01:02, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Again, please sign your talk page posts. Use ~~~~ to add a signature and time stamp.

It's rather odd that Bey-have was created a few days after your post to Talk:List of best-selling singles and first made a verbatim copy of your post, and then made a post to Talk:Rihanna, which you followed up on. Neither of you signs your talk page posts either. Meters (talk) 22:05, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, sorry but Bey's account is not mine, it must be because I have a friend Shakifan who had the idea of singles, he must be the one who is that account, I only have Alejandro Ortiz and this one. Sorry if I caused any inconvenience. I just wanted to see if some data can be updated.AlexanderShakifan29 (talk) 01:02, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Icing (Game)

Its a drinking game. What sort of citation is needed for house rules? Other drinking games dont have such citations. Bobaxos (talk) 22:07, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

We're not going to include an unsourced claim about rules, particularly not about a local set of rules. If other articles have such unsourced content feel free to remove it. Meters (talk) 23:22, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

As for what type of sources are required, read the links that are already on your talk page. Meters (talk) 23:24, 7 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
