Hi. I'm not really interested or knowledgeable in the subject, but I thought I should draw your attention to these two rather unhealthy looking edits ([1] and [2]) by 80.169.25.108. Cheers, DVdm (talk) 16:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

Unhealthy indeed! Another editor had already reverted one of them, and I have taken care of the other. Thanks for catching them, and sorry for the long response time—enjoying a very pleasant Wikibreak. Favonian (talk) 21:47, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Cheers :-) DVdm (talk) 08:59, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Valdemar of Denmark (bishop)

Dear Favonian, I am sorry to bother you but in October 2009 you condensed 6 footnotes in the above mentioned article, quoting five different pages into one condensed footnote quoting only one page. I guess that is not what you wanted. Maybe you can reverse this condensation so that only those 2 prior footnotes quoting the same page will be condensed.

Thank you. Best wishes Ulf Heinsohn (talk) 16:34, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

That was very clumsy of me. Apparently my attention span is too short to read a whole reference. The blunder has now been remedied. Thanks for catching it, and sorry for the long response time—I was enjoying a pleasant Wikibreak. Favonian (talk) 21:41, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Genocides

Favonian: the introduction to the article is mainly based on the Old Testament. It is written in the Old testament that these two tribes were decimated by Moses and his followers. What's the problem?--Little sawyer (talk) 19:52, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Quote from the article "History of genocides": "The Old Testament describes the genocides of Amalekites and Midianites. Jones quotes Jerusalem-based Holocaust Studies Professor Yehuda Bauer: "As a Jew, I must live with the fact that the civilization I inherited ... encompasses the call for genocide in its canon."" --Little sawyer (talk) 19:58, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

The way you presented it was in the form of original research, using a contemporary, POV political term to describe a biblical event. If a scholarly source makes that observation, you must present it as such. Favonian (talk) 21:33, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

Well, Yehuda Bauer certainly does, doesn't he? And it's already in Wikipedia, in the article "History of genocides" (see above). --Little sawyer (talk) 11:50, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Glad you added the source, but there are still issues. Please have a look at Talk:Moses#Moved paragraph with OR. Favonian (talk) 18:55, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

article Saskia Hölbling

Hi Favonian,

thank you for your help. Now I've finished the Text of Saskia Hoelbling. But there are 2 info-boxes.

"This article ist an orphan" an "this article needs references". Please can you help me. This is an one-to-one-translation of the german article about Saskia Hölbling and there the article is ok.

Kind regards

Stefan SchettStefan Schett (talk) 15:59, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Stefan. The first issue is that Hölbling isn't mentioned in any other article on Wikipedia. Since a very important way of locating information on Wikipedia is by navigating links between articles, it would greatly improve this one if others linked to it. The second issue is more important, though. To merit having an article on Wikipedia, a subject (person or otherwise) should be notable, meaning basically that a sufficient number of reliable sources have written about it. More precise requirements for "entertainers" like Hölbling are found in WP:ENT, while the more general requirements are WP:ANYBIO. I recommend that you do a Google web/news search to come up with third-party sources writing about her. Favonian (talk) 16:08, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Huggle

Hey, I was wondering why you made this edit. I know huggle can get a little cloudy at times, but I was just wanted to let you see it. :) –Turian (talk) 19:34, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Huggle can indeed be a bit of a challenge, but in this case I can't blame the program. I deliberately returned the article to the original (with the title bold and italicized) from before the previous editor had mucked around with it. If you check his intermediate edit you will see that his intentions may not have been entirely honorable. Favonian (talk) 19:39, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

Ah, I missed that one. No worries then. :) –Turian (talk) 20:55, 13 April 2010 (UTC)

In that case you should prepare the article in your user space, similarly to what you are doing with User:Small Boss/Popular Rewards.

The German Fuhrer / Chancellor

Isn't Fuhrer a synonym for Chancellor? I heard several people call Dr. Angela Merkel the Fuhrer of Germany or Fuhrer Merkel. She is a right-wing politician, just as much as Hitler was, but today Germany is under control of the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty. That means Germany cannot anymore void most human rights, with some exceptions, such as they read mail sent to and from abroad and violate privacy rights and the "right of free association", as they register every citizen for voting automatically and thus do not allow voters to affiliate with a party on registration forms. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gqhs (talk • contribs) 17:13, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Where to find ghosts in Prescott, AZ

I hope you don't mind, but I removed your A7 speedy tag from this one and replaced it with a prod. I know the article needs deleting, but it really didn't meet the A7 criteria (No indication of importance (individuals, animals, organizations, web content)). Although I suppose ghosts could be animals, if you stretched the definition a bit. Prod is slower, but it will get there in the end - if the author removes the prod I'll AfD it. Cheers, Karenjc 19:23, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Censorship

Hello,

Today I have added some facts to the Northern Ireland section and get a wave of treats from wiki about being a vandal, warnings, last chance and so on.

If I add FACTS to site why are they removed? The section about the subtle ethnic 'cleaning' in this part of Ulster may be too senstive for the wiki but it is a historical FACT and is currently being addressed by the United Nations as I stated. This research by the UN is also being conducted for farming land in four other counties. These are areas where republicans have targeted Protestant land owners for the past 80 years, documented facts that will be admitted by these organisations

I do not see adding facts as being a act of vandalism. I understand that you have a job to remove rubbish from certain posts, but removing the truth just makes this another censored web site.

No more donations from me.

Best Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Le Chicken Ranch (talk • contribs) 12:18, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Your edits violated Wikipedia's principle of neutral point of view, for instance in your use of the word "sadly", and also failed to provide reliable sources for your claims. You may think that you are publishing the truth, but in a dictionary like this one we are more concerned with verifiability. Favonian (talk) 12:57, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

EcoDisc in Template:Optical disc authoring‎‎

Hi, Favonian

I've noticed that have prevented the entry of EcoDisc into Template:Optical disc authoring‎‎, having crossed WP:3RR line in process. Would you please kindly explain why do you oppose this edit?

Thanks, Fleet Command (talk) 16:50, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

At the time, the EcoDisc article was nominated for speedy deletion as advertisement, a nomination I found reasonable. I can see that the nomination has meanwhile been declined, which of course makes my actions seem overly hasty. I apologize for not being able to count. Favonian (talk) 16:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

No problem, Favonian; luckily, no real harm seems to have been done this time. I hope you'll excuse me if I take the liberty of writing this piece of advise: An article that is nominated for deletion or speedy deletion is analogous to a man who is sent to a court of law for a crime; both are not to be stripped of their rights until their verdict is issued. Therefore, would you please refrain from unlinking any article before it is deleted?

Again, Thank you.

Count#Equivalent

Hello Favonian,

I thought I was editing it properly by linking back to a Wikipedia page on the edit I had performed.I am sorry, I did not realise it. Please note that the reason for my edit was Indian princely state system does not view the Chatrapati as a Count, rather the Thakur or Sardar is a better translation. The Chatrapati is more akin to a King [different evolution of the word] when you compare the power wielded. While the Chatrapati might by translation seem to be an equivalent, the power and land under the Chatrapati is beyond comparison larger than under a tradional Count. A Thakur on the other hand seems to fit the definition better. Wikipedia has a decent page on Thakur, which I had linked back to.

Please inform me as to how I can rectify the same.

Regards, User:Cowboyroy

My reverts might have been a little too drastic, for which I apologize. Now to get the right information into the article, the best thing is to find a reliable source which documents the status of this particular Indian title. A short term solution is that you make your case on the article's talk page and then make the change in the article itself with an edit summary like "Please see talk page" or words to that effect. Other editors might object, but there is a good chance that the discussion will take place on the talk page and not through reverts. Favonian (talk) 19:01, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Neutral?

My edits to the earth page were making it more neutral. Why remove them? They were not a form of vandalism as you claim? Wikipedia needs to be neutral by accepting all view points on dates for ages of the earth. ABTCCC (talk) 18:59, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

This issues of science vs. creation, or whatever you want to call it, come up rather frequently. The consensus in an article like Earth seems to be to keep it scientific. If you disagree, you should take the discussion to the talk page. Favonian (talk) 19:04, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

The reason for deleting all brehautism

Hello i am michael brehaut founder of brehautism. I got told by someone a few days ago that i could not have brehautism on until there was proof that it is valid. According to my religion only my scribe is allowed to write infomation about the religion and i know for a fact that this is not him putting it on wikipedia. I would much apreciate if you would delete the page until a further time when we have made the religion valid. It would be a great help if you could do this for me.

I'm actually not a very frequent user of Huggle, mostly because it's so easy to make mistakes when using it, so you're probably better off asking your question at Wikipedia:Huggle/Feedback. Happy huggling ;) Favonian (talk) 12:47, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Jewish Geography jokes

so if a famous comedian were to quote that then it would be a verifiable source? Wow I'm not a real person and neither are the posters on reddit in your mind. Kind of screwy that commentary about this topic from people that originally had no understanding of it are banned from adding this common confusion about what jewish geography is on wikipedia. For that matter, non-people are banned from adding a relevant misunderstanding of the topic. I find this debasing and ringing of censorship considering if you had followed the link (which I doubt you did) Then you would see at least two people who made the same comments about the topic. Oh well, now I know that wikipedia followers are uptight and are not interested in the misconceptions of others. Go ahead and ban me if you want, I know my contributions are not welcome.  — [Unsigned comment added by Nathism (talk • contribs) 14:40, April 26, 2010 (UTC).]

If a comedian had indeed been quoted in reliable sources as having used this meaning of the term, then it might merit inclusion. Random jokes on blogs are not sufficient reason. Favonian (talk) 12:45, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for proving the point that bloggers are not famous and therefore are not worthy of having their misconceptions about a topic known.

I'd like to point out that the entire Analysis section of the Jewish Geography is not cited and therefore by your point should also be deleted.

Please read the below from the article paragraph. Do you think Maradona would use that quote? And who is Luke? And why does it link to "Santa Claus". The rest of the paragraph is equally as flagrant! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Punisher72 (talk • contribs) 15:36, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Rathmines is the home of aspiring young footballer Luke Remington, who for many years played at the local club the Westlakes Wildcats. Luke is now a star player in the Australian U17 football team. The footballing great Diego Maradona was quoted in 2009 saying "This guy is good". Lukes footballing, and life, motto is "Run the ball, hit it hard, hit it low". Luke enjoys playing Backyard soccer and always has a fun time. Luke is the cousin of the great philosopher Andrew Fuller, and the brother of Callum Remington, who is the only man to cart-wheel around australia, both of whom also live in Rathmines and enjoy the fresh air. Lauren Winn also likes to think she is a loved guest at the Remington house in Rathmines, but is in fact, an annoyance.

You are quite right about this paragraph being bogus, and I just reverted another editors revert of your deletion of it, but my original edit removed vandalism from the following paragraph, which as far as I can tell is bona fide. Favonian (talk) 15:38, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia is biased

Although wikipedia claims to be neutral and truthful its content on the Israeli-Palestinian cause are far from neutral and aid the israeli side in its missleading propaganda . it also reverses editing revealing the truth (as in facts without taking a side or showing any personal feeling). Israel occupied the Palestinian territories , continues to massacre and mass murder the Palestinian people. Just check out the statistics, and please do tell me who the terrorist is. Wikipedia refers to every single palestinian defending his country or dying for it as a terrorist , these are defenseless people armed at most with nothing more than a home made bomb. Please compare the number of victims, the strength of each side and do tell me who needs a defence army. Israel's millitary may be called defence forces, but please open your eyes and if you have an answer explain to me why israel has a top-millitary army defending itself against helpless civilians who have only killed one israeli for every 100 hundered killed of them while the palestinian people get nothing to defend themselves against zionists controling everything including when they leave their country and come back to it or if they even get to. controls their air water and lives. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nvrdyingspirit (talk • contribs) 20:48, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

Several things. Your edit removed references and lacked an edit summary, which tends to make other editors suspicious. Immediately before, you had made another edit to the same article, which had been reverted by a bot. I see that started a new section on the article's talk page. That is fine, but before making major changes you should await other editors' comments, and at any rate you should include an edit summary like "see talk page", or words to that effect.

relevance of article on term pitbull

I Dispute the need for an article explaining the use of the term ,pit bull, in legislation in the USA. Wikipedia is used by more than just americans. Bullterriers, English Staffords, bull dogs ect, are not classed as pit bulls in Australia, Europe, the UK and various other countries. These countries see Pitbulls as American Pitbulls and have laws specifically controlling or out lawing them specifically not these other breeds as-well. So an article referring to bull and terrier breeds under the US legislative term of Pitbull is confusing and just plain wrong to boot. So surly this should have being considered when writing a topic on the meaning of the term Pitbull. Considering the information is read by more than just americans, so should therefore be relevant to more than just americans as-well. I propose that the discussion on the use of the term Pitbull in US legislation should be a section in a article about American dangerous dog laws or something of the sort, not a whole subject on it own. We have enough trouble with these other breeds being confused with Pitbulls, with out an encyclopedia article referring to them as such. The more common use of the word should be the bulk of an article on the the term Pitbull. Which would be to simply say that it is just a shortened down or slang way of saying, American Pitbull Terrier, which would not need its own article either, only a reference to such on the American pit bull page. 118.210.116.181 (talk) 15:36, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

This belong on the article talk page, where you have also posted it. Personally, I don't care either way, but your should refrain from major, undiscussed edits, especially if they involve copyright violations like this one. Favonian (talk) 15:40, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

pitbull article relevance

This article smears all these other breeds with the pit bull brush when 99% of the articles information refers specifically to the American pit bull terrier. Such sections relating to bite statistics, harm from pitbulls ect. Make it seem that these other breeds are included in the statistics when they actually refer specifically to the American pitbull terrier exclusively. This article just adds to the confusion about these breeds. Say if some one was to read this article trying to find out if an, English Stafford, was a good dog to get. They would finish reading thinking that the are a type of or closely related to the pitbull, when theres actually hundreds of years of difference in breeding between these two breeds. They would think there potentially dangerous which they generally are not. It just makes things to confusing which is exactly the opposite thing an encyclopedia is supposed to do. Thanks of reading and considering my comments. john 118.210.116.181 (talk) 16:08, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm actually proposing that the article on pitbulls be scrapped as it isn't really any good at all and any thing that needs to be said can be said on the American pitbull terrier page.

Poisson Distribution External Links

Hi Favonian,

Thanks for your note, however I'm a math major and also a sports bettor. When looking at the article these tools are valid calculators for the theory being discussed. I'm in no way building links or spamming rather adding useful references so readers can see the theory in real life scenarios.

Best Regards!

Hi Dannomatic. Thanks for your note. I don't question your motives, even though the word "betting" tends to raise my eyebrows. We have a set of guidelines about which external links to include or exclude. The latter are listed in WP:ELNO, in particular item 13, "Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject …" Since it's a general site, which happens to have a Poisson calculator, this clause seems to apply. My judgment is not (quite) infallible, so you could try ask for a second opinion on Talk:Poisson distribution. Best, Favonian (talk) 18:59, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

Dictator From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A dictator is a ruler (e.g. absolutist or autocratic) who assumes sole and absolute power (APPLIED)(sometimes but not always with military control) but without hereditary ascension such as an absolute monarch (APPLIED).[1] When other states call the head of state of a particular state a dictator, that state is called a dictatorship. The word originated as the title of a magistrate in ancient Rome appointed by the Senate to rule the republic in times of emergency (see Roman dictator and justitium).[2]

Like the term "tyrant" (which was originally a respectable Ancient Greek title), and to a lesser degree "autocrat", "dictator" came to be used almost exclusively as a non-titular term for oppressive, even abusive rule, yet had rare modern titular uses.[citation needed]

In modern usage, the term "dictator" is generally used to describe a leader who holds and/or abuses an extraordinary amount of personal power, especially the power to make laws without effective restraint by a legislative assembly (AGAIN APPLIED)[citation needed]. Dictatorships are often characterized by some of the following traits: suspension of elections and of civil liberties (APPLIED); proclamation of a state of emergency (APPLIED 30 years ago, and still going); rule by decree (APPLIED); repression of political opponents without abiding by rule of law procedures (APPLIED, and examples are countless, look up "ayman nour"); these include single-party state (APPLIED), and cult of personality.[citation needed]

The term "dictator" is comparable to, but not synonymous with, the ancient concept of a tyrant; initially "tyrant", like "dictator", did not carry negative connotations. A wide variety of leaders coming to power in a number of different kinds of regimes, such as military juntas, single-party states and civilian governments under personal rule, have been described as dictators. For example, Hitler, Stalin , and Kim Jong-il.

---

so, could you please tell me how can wikipedia be neautral when Hitler is considered a dictator nd Mubarak isn't ?

please study more history , follow up more egyptinan internl affairs, and BE neutral, and just apply every word from the "diactator" topic onto Mubarak and you'll find this is the correct title.. by the wy, omar al-bashir, the sudanese president is considred a "diactator" according to wikipedia's neutrality, while half of these dictator "attributes" dont apply to him while they do apply to Mubarak... so, please let me do my job of correcting the page of my country's leader.

have a nice day sir —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.235.173.64 (talk) 19:54, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

What you are saying is that your conclusion based on available evidence is that Mubarak is a dictator. In Wikipedia terminology that's referred to as original research and it's not the purpose of an encyclopedia. If you want to include include the word "dictator" in the article, you need to find reliable sources which describe him thus. For comparison, have a look at this newspaper article about Omar al-Bashir. If you wish to debate the applicability of the word, the right place to do so is on Talk:Hosni Mubarak.

We have been over this before. You do not own an article just because you created it, and the spelling of the name was settled back in November.

If you scroll down on WP:ALUM, you'll see that articles may be at a more common name regardless of other policies or IUPAC.

May 8th 2010 (Australia)

Thankyou for your comment (whoever you are)...There was a similar Vandalism done to the first Edit that I had ever made on Wiki...I came here, to Wiki, looking for a current definition of National Debt or as Wiki had it at the time..."National debt" which turned out to be a redirect to Wiki Def "Government debt"...

The definition of "Government debt" on that page, unreferenced and unsupported, claims...(It has been reinstated from the edits that I made following a vandalism attack by "Mean as Custard" (Whoever they are?) which reinstated the Redirect to "Government debt" that I had removed as part of my first edit to "National debt"...):-..."Government debt (also known as public debt or national debt)".... This is not correct, and it appears to me that the page "Government debt" is some "Vandal Attack" on the "Fundamentals of ECONOMICS as a Science" as such it sets out to muddle anyones thinking with regard to these fundamental Economic Definitions.... If you - "Mean as Custard" or "Favonian", whoever you are, - continue to reinstate the "redirect from my edited "National debt" back to the incorrectly defined "Government debt" page, then it is you that is committing an act of Vandalism, and adding to the confusion created by that pages claims....At this time when The Greek Nations so called "Sovereign debt" is an issue, your interference in this issue is not only adding to the confusion on that issue but is preventing people from having some clear thought on the issue of "National Debt" and what it is. For instance....since, from the Oxford University Definition as relayed from the Oxford University Faculty of Economics to The Salesian College Farnborough Lecturer and Tutor of "Economics" in 1962 (and to all other Colleges teaching that subject), in response to my query "What is the definition of National Debt... "National Debt is the Debt that a Nation owes to itself for investing in it's own Future"....Then a simple question that follows is..."Under whose authority did The Greek Nation Change their National Debt to being "A Debt that the Greek Nation owes to Any other Nation for them investing in the Greek Nations Future" and if that is just an extension of the original Definition then it is perhaps an act of Treason to the Greek Nation by whoever did it... The questions that should be being asked at this point in time...in the United Nations Forum....aren't being asked....and your censorship of The Definition of "National debt"....as supplied by "Oxford University" is certainly counterproductive to those issues being addressed.... If you persist in your Vandalism then all you succeed in doing is confirming my developing opinion that "Wikipedia" is an "Anarchistic Encylopedia", an opinion, I am assured, that many have reached before me. Thank you. . PCGull (talk) 21:47, 7 May 2010 (UTC)

Please do not revert edits of the article of GQHS

Please do not make any more unconstructive reverts to articles of schools, as you did in the one of the Gymnasium Querfurt High School. All information are properly cited or do no needs sources, as they are self-explaining like the CEEB school code everyone can look up on collegeboard.com or the location coordinates. GQBC publishes verious English-language information about the school, which should provide source to most information in the article. Numbers like enrollment and faculty are either retrievable through the school administration or ETS (English Testing Systems) Code Control, which overseas the school's SAT program and has been provided all necessary information.

It was a very bad idea to vandalise Wikipedia and spam it in a way that must be easily traceable to you by everyone who knows you. Just stop thinking about Wikipedia, at least as a way to promote any of your pet projects. Hans Adler 22:14, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

copyright issue on Csaba_Zvekan

Hi Favonian,

I was wondering which url or material you are referring to that might violate the copyright issues so we can correkt it. Is it the picture ? That should be GNU though.

Kind Regards Csabi911

It's the whole text which appears to be lifted from this. Favonian (talk) 22:52, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks Favonian..now I understand ... it has been corrected on the original website. There will be something else there that doesn't conflict with WIKI it has been taken care of as we speak. Originally it was done in WIKI on my userpage User:Csabi911 and then HKain transferred it over ,set up Killing_Machine_(band) and the associated Csaba_Zvekan page. I think it should be OK now. Please check this. Csabi911 (talk)

Hello Favonian.

I am currently editing the wiki of the band Killing Machine and their members. Among them the lead singer Csaba Zvekan. I understand there was a copy-write conflict between his website and Wikipedia. I will change the content on his website, and as you can see there is no longer a conflict now. It would be nice if you would lift the redirection. Thank you for the warning and keep up the good work. It´s people like you that keep the quality up here on wikipedia. Best regards, Heidi K Hkain (talk) 23:28, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
