Sockpuppet?

Is it just me, or is User:AmySlaterstylist the same as User:Dr. Amy S. Slater? Bearian (talk) 16:47, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would say yes, though as I understand it simply editing (even badly) using multiple accounts isn't verboten, only doing so to evade a block, influence an administrative discussion, etc. Dwpaul ^Talk 18:11, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't remove dead links this way

Hey. Please don't just remove dead links from articles as you did in this edit. Either replace the dead link with a live one, add a link to an archived version of the original link, or replace the cited source with another source that includes the same information. When you just remove the link, it makes it harder for other editors to fix it in the future. Thanks! —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 04:07, 24 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

People with WP:COI kept removing the db tags which is why it was not speedy deleted before. Eventually someone ended up creating an AfD. --Jersey92 (talk) 02:11, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, I was watching. However, once the Afd is created, {{db}} is no longer an option. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:18, 27 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

2004 numbers

Hi, the Haaretz article looks a solid source to me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pupamassive (talk • contribs) 18:48, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

When Haaretz says that 848 mortar shells and 377 Qassam rockets were fired at Israel in 2005, it does not support the claim that "1225 rockets were fired at Israel in 2005". It supports the statement that 848 mortar shells and 377 Qassam rockets were fired at Israel in 2005, and that is what the article now states. Dwpaul ^Talk 18:53, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Did you notice

That I had just added a sentence on the organization? Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:26, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Have adjusted the text slightly to be more specific to the ref in question. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 23:35, 28 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Crossword public library report

Sorry to trouble you. I made use of your fine article about the cross word puzzle. I wanted to see the report you referred to. It was online, and it was then I noticed the year of reporting is 1924, published 1925 Here's the link to prove it. https://archive.org/stream/reportnewyorkpu00librgoog#page/n440/mode/2up The publication is a collection of reports starting 1921. Yours sincerely Harry Stalknecht,Hastalknecht (talk) 21:20, 29 July 2014 (UTC) Netherlands[reply]

Yes, I concede the point. It appears that the scanned copy (at archive.org and at Google books) was a binding together of the 1921 through 1925 reports, and I was mis-navigating the Google Books online copy. However, please fully update the citation also, as right now it describes the 1924 Library Report as being published in 1922. Also, what was the basis for changing the publication date in the body of the Claire Briggs comic strip in the Morning Oregonian to 1925? That is clearly dated at October 3, 1922 in its reference.

Why the revert on Sabina Altynbekova

All are certainly Wikipedia:Reliable sources all are Mainstream newspapers. Are you trying to push a 3RR fight ? TeddyTesseract (talk) 13:06, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The External links section is not intended for a random selection of news articles concerning the subject of the article. The links you added could potentially be used as references to specific statements about the subject in the body of the article that are not already present or adequately cited, but EL should not be used as a corkboard to post a collection of links to media. See WP:EL. Your comment about 3RR is rather silly, since we are talking about a single revert, and your edit was clearly against Wikipedia policy. Perhaps you should review the meaning of the term edit warring.Dwpaul ^Talk 13:30, 31 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

question

hey does the picture from wikipedia when you search something on google change ? it has been updated on the wikipedia page but the old picture still remains on google — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sup8899 (talk • contribs) 23:57, 4 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I assume there is some delay until Google's SE robot crawls the site and refreshes its cached copy. I don't expect it would be very long, however. When was the photo updated? 00:01, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

Google's cached copy is from Aug 4, 2014 15:26:56 UTC and shows the latest image. I don't know how often Google refreshes images used for the featured Wikipedia result in the sidebar, however. You'd need to ask Google. Dwpaul ^Talk 00:07, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

However, it seems you committed a copyright violation by placing that photo here and it has now been removed. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:02, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Forrest S. Mozer

Hello Dwpaul,

I received a message from you that we edited Forrest Mozer's wiki page but did not cite a reliable source. The source is our company, Sensory Inc. Forrest Mozer and his son, Todd, who is currently the CEO, are founders of the company. I am the marketing communications manager for the company. If you need any further "reliable" sources please let me know, but I don't know who could be more reliable than the actual company that he founded.

@Sngsensoryinc: That is not what reliable sources means in the context of Wikipedia. It is not what you know or the quality of your knowledge that is important, but whether readers of the article can independently verify the information in the article. Under Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy, any information that is potentially controversial or subject to challenge that does not include a cited source is subject to immediate removal. Click on the several highlighted links in this reply to review those policies. And please sign your comments on any Talk page by typing four tildes after your final comment.

Google Wikipedia

Hi there who chooses the picture that shows up when someone searches something in google? A box with A WikiPEdia description comes up and a picture but where is the picture from and how chooses it?? Thanks so much — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sup8899 (talk • contribs) 01:49, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The picture (if any) should be the picture in the Infobox. See Wikipedia:GOOGLECACHE. If that doesn't resolve the issue, I don't know what to tell you. No one at Wikipedia manages the pictures displayed in Google searches. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:41, 10 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stevie May

For your information Stevie May was actually Hungerhill School Top Scorer so please revert my page back to Normal ! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luke6black (talk • contribs) 02:08, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Nope. Not without a cited source for the information. Dwpaul ^Talk 02:11, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit of Garrick article.

The chief executive is no longer there anymore. That's why it was edited. Stephenbhatia (talk) 04:45, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
