Centralia

It would be nice if you gave a better explanation of why you're deleting an external link on this page. The link in question is a 5 minute ground and aerial tour of Centralia as it appears in 2014, and it's absolutely relevant to the page. It's similar to what other links on the page are providing in photo form - like the offroaders.net links. The link in question has been featured on the "official" Centralia webpage that maintains a history of the town and links to all known news articles on the town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.237.98.79 (talk) 15:39, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Just because something is appropriate for the "official" Centralia website (which I'm skeptical of) doesn't mean it's appropriate for an encyclopedia, which has a different scope. The site fails WP:ELNO #1, 8, and 11. A shaky video from the inside of a vehicle is hardly informative and therefore inappropriate to include in an encyclopedia article. - Aoidh (talk) 15:47, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Removal of AUCS Linux from List of Linux Distributions

Dear Aoidh, While I appreciate your effort in trying to keep Wikipedia clean by removing the link AUCS Linux from List of Linux distributions,kindly stop as it is a Linux distribution and should be on the page. If you have any concerns, please contact me on my talk page. -Smokey2022 (talk) 13:16, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Simply being a linux distribution and existing is insufficient. It has to meet certain criteria, namely Wikipedia's notability criteria (such as WP:GNG and WP:NSOFT). As such, I have nominated the article for deletion as the only sources for it come from the distro's Google Sites page. - Aoidh (talk) 16:18, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

Article written, how to go live?

Hi Aiodh,

I have already written an article in my sandbox. I was wondering how I could get it to go live so that people can find it when they search it in the search engine. Can you help me with this?

I am confused to why you are removing the information about his parents when it is stated in other sources listed in the article. Your edits do not make sense what exactly are you disputing?Wikshepeda (talk) 07:33, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Also since when does date of birth need citations to be listed? if that was the case every single biography would have a citation? Wikshepeda (talk)

I looked at every other source in the article and not one of them shows his DOB, which is what I removed and what I am disputing, because not a single reliable source has been given that verifies that information. A date of birth has always needed a citation, and yes, every single biography does require a such a citation. Any fact that you present on Wikipedia needs a reliable source verifying it, especially on biographies of living persons. If there's no reliable source showing the date of birth, Wikipedia cannot list a date of birth. Sites like famousbirthdays are not reliable sources, neither is IMDB for biographical information such as this. - Aoidh (talk) 08:04, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

That is not true, because tf that's the case then you should go and remove the information listed on Tom Cruises and Oprah Winfrey page as well as the millions of others like who do not have citations listed for date of birth because it is not need. Also on Wikipedia if information is missing you add a tag not remove it entirely. Birthdays do not need to be citated before it can be listed! So get familiar with Wikipedia policies and stop before disrupting a page with false claims. Wikshepeda (talk)

I am not engaged in an edit war. I am fixing the sources and working on it which you keep on interrupting. Wikshepeda (talk) 08:21, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

Not quite, because this is one of the first references in the Oprah Winfrey article: "Oprah Gail Winfrey was born on January 29 1954". That DOB is sourced, otherwise it would be removed. You must add a reliable source for biographical information, this is not optional. If you disagree, you are welcome to cite the Wikipedia policy you're referring to, but WP:V and WP:BLP say otherwise: "We must get the article right. Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources. All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be explicitly attributed to a reliable, published source, which is usually done with an inline citation. Contentious material about living persons (or, in some cases, recently deceased) that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion." You have to add a reliable source before you can add the DOB. If you continue to ignore this, you will be blocked from editing to prevent further disruption to the article. - Aoidh (talk) 08:23, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

To further clarify, citing Wikipedia policy: "With identity theft a serious ongoing concern, people increasingly regard their full names and dates of birth as private. Wikipedia includes full names and dates of birth that have been widely published by reliable sources, or by sources linked to the subject such that it may reasonably be inferred that the subject does not object." The idea that the DOB doesn't need a reliable source is directly and unambiguously contradicted by Wikipedia policy. It must have a reliable source. - Aoidh (talk) 08:30, 16 April 2015 (UTC)

on life force - meditation page

Hello. May I ask why did you revert the change I made to the meditation article ? There is no such thing as a life force, qi, ki or whatever. That's just a claim by eastern philosophies/religions.
