UALR Page Vandalism

The same IP from last time, 99.121.96.73, has repeated the edits but now substantiated their claim with sources that verify their claims. Verified or not, however, their contribution is heavy with malice and negative bias. Quoting them here from talk:

Okay, the statements have been sourced and all the links work. Anyone care to argue that Oak Forest is NOT crime-ridden and filled with crack houses? Anyone care to dispute that the university campus is located in that area? Anyone care to dispute that Patricia Guardado was abducted from across the street and murdered? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.121.96.73 (talk) 19:19, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Though it is factually correct there is only ONE line of crime statistic per page on Wikipedia of the TOP TEN most dangerous universities in the country. This kind of information is slanderous and VERY atypical of content typically on University pages on Wikipedia. I'm considering removing the contribution. Your thoughts? Junipel (talk) 18:35, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This I.P., 99.121.96.73, has vandalized the UALR page at least 3 times within the past week. Are there any steps possible to keep this from reoccurring? Much thanks! Junipel (talk) 17:08, 31 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I would not consider that vandalism, but undue weight. I removed the safety block citing wp:undue Jim1138 (talk) 19:21, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Much thanks, Jim. I realize now that it is not vandalism. Junipel (talk) 19:40, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Exeter vandal

Thanks for batting the IP vandalizing Exeter City F.C away from my user page. I am not holding my breath waiting for a lucid explanation from him on my talk page !  Velella  Velella Talk   23:20, 3 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I thought "enormously unhelpful" was no exaggeration. BTW, I looked around for sources but Google News and Books had nothing to offer; I found nothing besides that catholic hierarchy site, which I have used in the past and consider reliable.

Re: Johnny Squeaky edits

At least one of Johnny Squeaky's edits was clearly out of line with its opinionated and inappropriate heading change, thus the NPOV warning. However no prejudice against discussion of what may be trivial or not at Talk:Greta Garbo. Dl2000 (talk) 20:03, 4 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your addition to Raphaël Onana was removed as it was unsourced. Please see wp:rs and wp:citing sources for more information. Please add your content back with a good source. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 08:38, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

Yes ! There is no problems for the reliable source , look the book on the work of Raphaël Onana.

  • 'Un homme blindé à Bir-Hakeim' : Story in french of a officer Cameroonians Who does the War of 39-45, France, Paris, Editions L'Harmattan, 1996, p 272 . (ISBN 2-7384-4239-0)

I have got this book and I copy in Wikipedia. The book is in french and it is not easy to translate in a perfect english. Can you help me ?

Thank you, you know, I'm french... I know the Onana family which I belong. I know Raphaël Onana because he's my grandfather.

You think it is forbidden to translate a french page in english ? People who speak English are entitled to know the status of Raphael Onana ... Also, I have cousins ​​who live in London .... I urge you to read this book before acting recklessly ... Please do not destroy this page that is the truth.

I find : I cannot source my own knowledge, and my information is more accurate than most of the information on here, that is the truth. Some of this information is not accurate, and i would like to add something that is. You have removed something I have wrote because you deemed it unsourced, but this is of my own knowledge. I can assure you this was not reckless and you are confused.

hurricane gloria

the information i removed from hurricane gloria was not accurate. hurricane gloria struck Long Island as a minimal category 1 hurricane with maximum sustained winds measured at 85 mph. hurricane gloria did NOT make landfall on long island with maximum sustained winds of 95-100 mph as said. gloria was not a category 2 hurricane at landfall, which winds of 95-100 mph fall under. my information is accurate. and yes i will convert the information from mph to mph and kmh. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendonleclair (talkcontribs) 20:36, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hurricane gloria

ok sorry i was confused. yes i converted the information to mph and kmh. i have one other problem though. i am a weather fanatic and consider myself and expert in the field of severe weather. my editing to the 2011 new england tornado oubtreak was from my prior knowledge. i cannot give a source or cite my knowledge. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brendonleclair (talkcontribs) 20:46, 5 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Given wp:or, how would you resolve this? I am not accusing you, but many people place rumor, gossip, and outright lies on Wikipedia, so you can see the need for policy like this. Jim1138 (talk) 20:51, 5 February 2012 (UTC

Yes I do understand and I do not wish to cause any trouble or spread any bias or inaccurate information. I am a fanatic when it comes to severe weather, and I do not know everything there is out there but I consider myself an expert. I am in the process of becoming a meteorologist. I live in the town of Springfield, Massachusetts and lived through the tornado. I have studied the scientific Fujita-Scale for years now, and know it by heart. I personally toured the damage in the town of Monson proceeding the tornado. The damage was indefinitely of EF-4 intensity, although officially confirmed an EF-3. The power of the tornado was underestimated by many, and it would be extremely helpful if people got the chance to realize its true intensity. This is simply of my knowledge. I did not find this information from any website, so I cannot possibly cite it or give it a source. It has come from my own knowledge. You have removed it because I have not gave it a source, but I cannot source it, it has come from my own knowledge not something found from a fathering website. I would greatly appreciate it if you did not remove it. Thank You.

Raphaël Onana

I'm agree to find more citations of my article. If I found, I take notes when I can. I'm alone in my article, it's not easy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Warinhari (talkcontribs) 21:27, 5 February 2012 (UTC) Ooh ! The text American Civil War is heavy to read ...! But I can understand what do you said. But my grandfather is not a legendary heroe... He's ordinary a man like you. From the American Civil War, it is very difficult to prove because there's not really photography pictures, no Movie-camera before the period 1861–1865... But in the world war II, it is more easy to prove by the reliabilityof the journalism after 1939, the start of the World War II.

February 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you assume good faith while interacting with other editors, which you did not on Temple Run. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Have you heard of undoing it instead of being lazy and reverting it on Huggle? Not acceptable. J (t) 03:21, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would ask that you refrain from making incorrect reversions against Wikipedia policy. In regards to this edit, be aware that I indeed used an edit summary, and removed the content in a manner justifiable under Wikipedia policy. You, on the other hand, have added unsourced material to a BLP, some of which can easily be construed as controversial. I'd like an apology and a promise that this never happen again from you. Wikipedia does not need ignorant, trigger-happy patrollers. It needs sensible, careful ones. Please be the latter type. Very truly yours, 99.92.154.75 (talk) 03:43, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I undid your reversion of this edit. It was a response to JackOfOz that does not violate any of Wikipedia's rules or principles; therefore, there is no justifiable reason for your revert. --140.180.7.220 (talk) 08:57, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please assume good faith in your dealings with other editors. Assume that they are here to improve rather than harm Wikipedia. Stop it. Look at the above messages. J (t) 13:37, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jim. I'm not sure about this revert of yours... the IP had removed an unsourced paragraph accusing the paper of "anti-white and anti-Southern news and opinion columns"... seems like that ought to be sourced or removed. 28bytes (talk) 23:08, 7 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted probably as the IP removed some sourced content and did not leave an edit summary. I agree with you on the politics section and removed it entirely. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 00:27, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on Article about Methodism in the Philippines

Hi Jim. I'm quite concerned about a lot of revisions happening in Methodism particularly that part of History of methodism in the Philippines. Edits contained vandalism and inappropriate language and citing some insults, in the other group. If my opinion counts, that would be a kind of discrimination. Isn't it? Are allowing it in Wikipedia? Thanks, Jim. Christian Eilers (talk) 12:48, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Editors who vandalize will get warned and if they continue, banned for various times. Sometimes pages seem to get targeted by a group, maybe through a chat room. There is a loose network "vandal patrol" who keep watch on thing, though problems do get by. The corrections you saw to Methodism were mostly vandal patrol. If you are especially concerned about Methodism, please add it to your watch list and keep track of it. BTW: are you referring to "Methodism" or some other article "Methodism in the Philippines"? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 19:10, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am referring to a section in Methodism. Thanks Jim. That is a lot helpful. Christian Eilers (talk) 23:18, 8 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blanked by creator

Re this: I have db-g7 tagged the page. It was blanked by its creator. Cheers - DVdm (talk) 09:55, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. Huggle usually, but not always warns you about reverting a page blanked by its creator. I removed my warning and apologized for my error. Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 10:03, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps Huggle noticed that the creator/blanker wasn't the only editor: someone else seems to have contributed as well, and the page was tagged for deletion —and refused— before. So, perhaps this isn't clear-cut after all. Let's see what happens :-) Cheers - DVdm (talk) 10:08, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have seen Huggle warn "properly" with other editors in the history. Also have had Huggle report a vandal to AIV without recording any warnings on the vandal's talk page. Makes for some uncomfortable discussions with admins! Jim1138 (talk) 10:12, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Taniec z gwiazdami – Best of 1-12 Please, remove this page. I do not know who created it. But they are fooling. This program was never aired on TV and never will. Someone is playing with Wikipedia. And it probably is not for fun? Please, if you do not believe check out the Polish side of Dancing with the Stars. Yours!

Would you please put your concerns on talk:Taniec z gwiazdami – Best of 1-12? That will get the process started. There has been a considerable amount of work put into the page which is unusual for a hoax. You might want to contact the page creator (click the history tab at the top of the page). He is recently active and might be able to give you more information. As this is an established article, the process to delete it is documented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion I hope this helps. If you have more questions, please feel free to ask. Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 10:32, 9 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Rawalakot- Notable persons

The notable person Ghulam Ahmad you added and claimed to be from rawalakot is plainly untrue, you gave a wiki reference that he is on wikipedia, as per wiki profile, he was born in Indian poonch, and he worked for indian airforce, apart from that he had a company in pakistan for mining, how does it make him notable person. I lived in rawalakot many years and regularly visit there, never heard of Ghulam Ahmad from anyone. This suggests me that either you are Ghulam Ahmead or related to him. I would not like lied to be added on this page.

Ghulam Ahmad died in 2003 as did Sardar Muhammad Ibrahim Khan. There are sources on the web tying him to Rawalakot. Jim1138 (talk) 01:45, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I see you are running away from facts. You haven't yet told me why Ghulam Ahmad is notable in Rawalakot? Would you like to cite a source here which links him to Rawalakot. All notable person on rawalakot page are very well known in whole state of Jammu & kashmir, all except one remained president of the state. Please explain your relationship with Ghulam Ahmad, are you his sibling? No way Mr Ghulam Ahmad is notable or anyone knows him in rawalakot. I lived and worked in Rawalakot for many years and rawalakot district (poonch) is my birth place. Please correct the page here. riz 13:26, 12 February 2012 (UTC)

Fact is Ghulam Ahmad lived in and is buried in Rawalakot. Why do say otherwise? It is supported by numerous sources: try google. Seem to be many that are not Wikipedia based. BTW: I am American and have no relatives from Pakistan or that area. Jim1138 (talk) 18:07, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't explained what makes him notable in Rawalakot. I see the wikipedia page about Ghulam Ahmad, only link or connection he had with Rawalakot is that there is a picture of grave presubamly burried somewhere in Rawalakot. There are thousands of people burried in Rawalakot, it does not make any of them notable. Please stop distorting the facts, if you want to make him notable, do something for Rawalakot. Furthermore, President of United Arab Emirates Sheikh Khalifa has donated a multi-million dollar hospital in Rawalakot after earthquake of 2005, he is not even in the list of notable persons, so again I ask you what Ghulam Ahmad has done for rawalakot which makes him notable. Either present the facts or remove him. Thanks riz 00:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talkcontribs)
If Ghulam Ahmad meets Wikipedia:Notability_(people) and lived in Rawalakot then he is notable for inclusion in Rawalakot. If there is policy stating otherwise, please let me know. Jim1138 (talk) 05:39, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Also, please see Wikipedia:Dispute resolution Jim1138 (talk) 06:06, 13 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
He does not even qualify one single criteria listed on wikipedia notability guidelines. You are not giving reasons for his notability. ONLY reason you give is he lived in Rawalakot a self made claim. Does it mean whole population of Rawalakot is notable? Put up or shut up.

riz 10:22, 13 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talkcontribs)

I dont really much care about this issue, but I believe that Riztech needs to be more courteneous. There is not need to use such language. Clearly he can say these things nicely and in manner by listing the issues and the criteria, however, there is Wikepedia policy that bans editors for using such languange, as it is not conducive to a debate. I dont know how old you are Riztech, but maybe you should take it easy. Stop threatening and just do edits and in a nice discussions

EagleEye 15:35, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Jim, this is where Ghulam Ahmad fougth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No._1_Squadron,_Indian_Air_Force

EagleEye 02:11, 14 February 2012 (UTC) @EagleEye my comments were for Jim1138 "Put up or shut up" phrase does not come under offensive language criteria of wikipedia. As you and all others can see none of you gave any reason why Ghulam Ahmad is notable and only reason given was "he is burried in Rawalakot". All the links you both provide are wikipedia pages which are made by you guys.

Now I have a firm belief that you both are his siblings, probably his sons. I made a comment about Jim1138 and you felt the pain why? The subject of comment was Ghulam Ahmad so what prompted you to be so offensive? I can see on my talk page, previously you suggested to ban me for a reason another editor ridiculed and I was surprised to see where did you come into the scene. Before your suggestion I did not edit any of your page, neither had any issue with you but you made everything. why? And where did I make any threat? can you point out my threatening words towards you?

It is time for you to make neutral contribution on wikipedia and stop promoting your relatives. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talkcontribs) 02:29, 14 February 2012 (UTC) Hey Jim I guess we are long lost brothers. This chap is like most people in Pakistan, conspiracy theories ? Maybe he needs to grow up and get a life. In any case. He is violating the Wiki policies for taking things personal so I recommend he be permanently banned.[reply]


EagleEye 15:40, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Why don't you simply give reasons in favour of your belief? @EagleEye I haven't seen any contribution by you in any article? Why is that. You only contribute in talk pages criticising others? Are you using multiple ids on wikipedia? Who are you really? I would recommend admins to check your ip and compare with Jim1138 and Trueblood786.

Regarding Ghulam Ahmad I have serious concerns on the section "Philanthropy" where it sates as I quote "He gave scholarships for education of residents of Poonch District, particularly members of the Sudhan tribe, resulting in hundreds of graduates in engineering and medicine", can someone give me names an dcontact details of 5 students whom he gave scholarships and they became doctors and engineers? I can provide you direct contact numbers of Legislative Assemby Members from Rawalakot area including president of Azad Kashmir. As claimed by page writer if Ghulam Ahmad gave hundreds of scholarships resulting hundreds of medical doctors and engineers, everyone including president of Azad Kashmir (as they are from same area) will vouch for him. What do you say EagleEye. riz 02:09, 15 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talkcontribs)

My UALR page "vandalism" is not vandalism at all, thank you

If someone makes an edit you don't like, that doesn't automatically make it vandalism. You might remind Junipel of that.

My edits to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock page are intended to inform the public and are made using sourced, verifiable statements of fact.

In my opinion, the university is located in an area of Little Rock that should be declared a demilitarized zone and patrolled by UN peacekeeping forces, but I didn't write THAT in the article.

Junipel just wants to sweep the facts under the rug, and only allow the establishment-approved information. Moonbeam 2012 (talk) 01:51, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please discuss it in talk: talk:University of Arkansas at Little Rock. Compared with most articles on universities, there is way too much on safety. This is called undue bias and is not a neutral point of view Also, please read about the 3 revert rule Jim1138 (talk) 01:59, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you deleting everything I edit now? Who the hell do you think you are? Moonbeam 2012 (talk) 02:03, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm willing to discuss anything, anywhere. If a university is having an ongoing crime problem, and UALR is, putting that (sourced) information into a wikipedia article is NOT "undue bias" regardless of what you, or Junipel, says. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Moonbeam 2012 (talkcontribs) 02:14, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I was only fixing the WP:UNDUE concern. If there is a source concern also, feel free to reverse my edit, but please discuss the issue with the original contributor :) ZZArch talk to me 05:33, 11 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Ghulam Ahmad

I dont see what the issue is. There has been no issue for yeas, until Riztik makes one up. This article is clearly, accurate, if there are incaccuracies they should be shown, without even stating what the incaccuracies are you have tagged this. I have edited Wikipedia for a long time and never had these issues. I will appreciate if you would tell me what these issues are, so they can be resolved. 75.0.2.227 (talk) 20:13, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Discuss it in talk, if it is resolved in a few days, then remove the tags. wp:removing tags. Won't hurt anything being there for awhile. Many articles have them. Jim1138 (talk) 20:23, 12 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It is simply distortation of facts. Ghulam Ahmad was born in Indian Kashmir, never lived in Rawalakot, no one in Rawalakot knows him except if he has any close relatives there. He is recently added in notable people's section, he was not there as claimed by Jim1138. In his biography on wikipedia he is been linked with Sudhan tribe, he is Sheikh. Jim1138 if you remove him (and donot add again) from notable section of Rawalakot I will overlook other issues. riz 01:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talkcontribs)

I have no idea what is up with this guy. He keeps on removing things. Whether the person was born in Indian Kashmir, He was born in Poonch, which prior to the partition of Pakistan was the headquarters of Rawalakot as well. In fact Ghulam Ahmad Father was the first Head Master of the school in Rawalakot.

EagleEye 03:35, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

@EagleEye You and Jim haven't explained why this person Ghulam Ahmad should be included in notable person's section of Rawalakot. You come up with strange explanations, as said by you "In fact Ghulam Ahmad Father was the first Head Master of the school in Rawalakot", what that has to do with Ghulam Ahmad, so you think since his father was a headmaster, he should be notable person? There are hundreds of headmasters in Azad Kashmir, by taking your approach all of them should be in notable section. Are you and Jim1138 relative of Ghulam Ahmad or some kind of beneficiary from him? Be fair, should Ghulam Ahmad stay with three presidents of Azad Kashmir as notable person? a BIG NO. riz 03:51, 13 February 2012 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Riztech (talkcontribs)

"tyres" in Bugatti Veyron article.

Just curious, why is it correct for an american website talking about a german car to use british spelling? I wouldn't change tyre in an Aston or TVR page to tire, but talking about a german car it would seem valid to use the most populous english spelling form, which would be TIRE. Thanks, Eric

This is the English language Wikipedia. It includes US, Canada, England, Ireland, India, Australia, and many other countries that use English (besides their dominate language). Wikipedia policy is to not change between English variants. If an article starts with Australian English, it should remain that way. One exception is if the article is about, say something specifically British. Then it would be proper to change it to the British spellings. In that it was already tyres means that it probably should remain so. Though it could have been switched (check history). If it was switched, a very clear edit summary and perhaps an entry in the talk page would prevent being flagged. Cheers! Jim1138 (talk) 01:37, 14 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

About reverting Health in Japan for vandalism

Hi, my edit, which was reverted by you, was intended to remove a sections in one of the two different articles. I just wanted to let you know that the two sections in Health in Japan#Access to care and Health care system in Japan#Access are almost identical, and I believe the access to health care is more appropriate to be placed in the latter article only, which discusses about the health care system itself.

En Esch article

Hello, I saw your note about my edit of the article on En Esch. I certainly want to comply with all Wiki rules, so I'm respectfully asking you how to handle: En Esch's real name is Nicklaus. (I originally mispelled it as Nicholas). His bandmates call him Nick. I have met him personally several times, and I asked about his name, and he verified that it's Nicklaus. The letter "S" is pronounced as "esh" in German, so he used his initials to form his name. En Esch As far as a source or a verification, I don't know how to verify this. How do you verify that Whitney Houston's name was Whitney? I mean, I'm not writing anything controversial, and I'm not giving an opinion. The man's name is Nicklaus. He told me himslef, and there are many audio clips and interviews where his bandmates call him Nick. "Klaus" is just a German-sounding name that is short form of Nicklaus. Wiki editor MrMustacheMM is perpetuating that mis-information. As his source, he is finding a random website that incorrectly lists "Klaus" as the name. But I can just as easily choose a web site like http://dictionary.sensagent.com/en+esch/en-en/ and use that as my source. "What is En Esch's real name" is a common google search, and Wikipedia is a source that a lot of people turn to. I'd hate to see people get the wrong information just because user MrMustacheMM is wrong. I'd be happy to abide by any rules/suggestions you have, but the bottom line is that the man's name is Nicklaus, and Wiki should reflect that asap.~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.192.44.53 (talk) 01:53, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It appears you put "Nicholas Schandelmaier" rather than "Nicklaus Schandelmaier" in the name. The reference [1] names him "Klaus Schandelmaier" which is probably what confused me and others. Goggle did not return any hits for "Nicholas Schandelmaier" and "En Esch" likely adding to the assumption that it was vandalism. I added his two names to the top of the page and a couple of references supporting them. A good edit summary indicating your intent always helps support your changes and prevent the vandal patrol thinking it to be vandalism and reverting it. Please check up on my changes to En Esch and fix any problems you see. As it is your talk page, you can remove those rude messages. Thank you for the message and contributions. Happy editing! Jim1138 (talk) 04:20, 15 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Roy Brown

Hi Jim1138. Just a polite note on editing Roy Brown (RAF officer). Although some of your reverts to User:Shawsara's edits have been exempt from WP:3RR as they're just plain disruptive ([3]), others could be construed as a content dispute. While Shawsara is offering no referenced alternative, I fully support your edits – but it would be quite hypocritical of me to warn them of 3RR and not leave you a note. Hope that's OK! All the best, matt (talk) 09:56, 19 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Roy Brown

I will find suitable references and cite the changes I make to the Roy Brown article. Just to be clear though, when I find these sources am I allowed to delete the content when my sources prove it to be wrong? Thanks. (Shawsara (talk) 10:13, 19 February 2012 (UTC))[reply]

There are many sources questioning Roy Brown for shooting down Manfred von Richthofen. Therefore, that should not be removed unless it is overwhelmingly refuted. If you have a good source that strongly supports Roy Brown, I'd love to see it (and read about it). Any good sources should be included (though not to excess). If you find sources calling into question the reliability of the Australian (or other) theories, those should be included. You should consider the chaos that would happen in most articles if someone with theory B deleted all references to theory A. Even Einstein would not be safe. As I said, I don't care who shot down Richthofen, just that the article be accurate. Please take the time to review "both sides". Thanks for your message. Cheers!

Harry Belafonte Edit

Hello Jim:

You recently reverted changes I made to Harry Belafonte's birth name as well as the name of his father when Mr. Belafonte was born. You indicated that my changes were disruptive and reverted them. First off, the changes are correct and I have a source that cites Mr. Belafonte's birth name.

Harry Belafonte was born Harold George Bellanfanti, Jr. to Melvine Love and Harold George Bellanfanti, Sr. The source is Harry Belafonte My Song a Memoir with Michael Shnayerson published by Albert A. Knopf (2011). His birth name and date of birth are on page 17 of the above-referenced book. Also, Mr. Belafonte's father is Jamaican not Martiniquan. That needs to be changed as well. This is referenced on page 16 of the same book. Please make these changes or allow me to do so.

Also, it would help if you correspond with people before reverting changes. Especially, if you don't possess knowledge of the changes or can prove that the changes are indeed inaccurate.

Thanks,
