Hey 103. Were you looking for some help? --NeilN talk to me 14:53, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A barnstar for you!

The Original Barnstar
Thank you for your help with the Talen Energy logo and in recognition of all the good stuff you do here at Wikipedia. Truly outstanding! Grahamboat (talk) 16:25, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Grahamboat, appreciate that. --NeilN talk to me 19:47, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain.

Please explain how my edit "vandalized" Wikipedia. I stated a fact which many people agree with and you called my editing disruptive. I see absolutely nothing wrong in what I did and I would appreciate it if you would explain your reasoning behind your threat. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Xx.can't.think.of.a.good.username.xX (talk • contribs) 21:13, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's pretty obvious you are joining the mob in denigrating Drake Bell. If you must, you can do that elsewhere, not on Wikipedia where we have a strict biography policy that applies to all articles. --NeilN talk to me 21:19, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Drake Bell

I've seen you removing vandalism at the Drake Bell page. Does the whole thing with Caitlyn Jenner qualify for inclusion in his or her article? -- Deadpool100 (talk) 00:00, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Deadpool100. We cannot add anything unless we have good quality reliable sources covering it (not tabloids). With these types of things I like to apply the ten year test, only cut down a bit. In a couple years, do you think anyone will still be mentioning the incident? --NeilN talk to me 00:12, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, NY Daily News and Billboard as far as I've seen. But the Justin Bieber thing has been going on for three years. That, maybe? -- Deadpool100 (talk) 00:14, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Deadpool100: The Bieber thing is already mentioned in the article. If coverage is ongoing, and you think it warrants more space in the article, go for it, keeping in mind other editors might object to what they see as adding trivia. --NeilN talk to me 00:20, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, thank you for your help. As you see, I'm pretty new. But I read up on policy and such before editing. And jeez, there has been a lot of vandalism on his page since this happened. -- Deadpool100 (talk) 00:25, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Deadpool100: Yes, when a celebrity does or says something controversial their article usually experiences a wave of disruptive edits. Thank you for helping out on this one. --NeilN talk to me 00:30, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yup. I look forward to editing with you in the future. And looking on the history, a major editor to the article hasn't touched it in a while. Did something happen? -- Deadpool100 (talk) 00:34, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Deadpool100: They got blocked from editing for six months for persistent edit warring. --NeilN talk to me 01:07, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, shame. I hope he does come back after the block. Granted, I wouldn't, but maybe he might. He looked like a positive contributor to quite a number of articles. If he does come back, maybe he'll learn from the block. And don't keep tagging me, I'll be watching your page. -- Deadpool100 (talk) 01:42, 2 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Culture of Nepal

im from nepal and you I am trying to edit page systematically whats your problem and where are you from ??+ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rahul Giree (talk • contribs)

Hi Rahul Giree. As per the messages on your talk page (which you have deleted) you can't just add your own commentary to articles. Content must be written in an encyclopedic tone and be verifiable: "Wikipedia does not publish original research. Its content is determined by previously published information rather than the beliefs or experiences of its editors. Even if you're sure something is true, it must be verifiable before you can add it." That means providing references to reliable sources. Also, please don't use inappropriate or misleading edit summaries. [1], [2] --NeilN talk to me 03:36, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks NeilN for proving my mistakes sorry for previous things that I have done editing Wikipedia's articles sorry I waana know where are you from ? From today I will only add things in Wikipedia's tone and add things that are proven right sorry for mi.... (copied from [3])
@Rahul Giree: We were all new here once and learning how to contribute to Wikipedia can sometimes be challenging (but rewarding!). Just read through the help links on your talk page and ask if you have any questions and you should be fine. As to where I'm from - some editors reveal details about themselves on their user pages but I don't. I prefer to keep my personal details private and I want other editors to judge my edits without having any preconceived notions about who I am. --NeilN talk to me 04:01, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Taoism Counter to Christianity

Dear Neil,

I am working off my tablet until I am to replace my computer and do more formal research to site credible sources. However, if you actually study the topic of Taoism, it is actually a pagan religion and needs to be correctly catagorized as such. Someone has been citing multiple books and its similiarities to christianity, and while there are some similiarities, Christians need to be FULLY aware that as a "folk" religion/philosophy, observations and reverence of nature, and most importantly many references to taoist magick (ie: sorcery, alchemy, and worship of local spirits) this creates a major conflict because as you know Christianity condemns magick of all religious forms as being "evil" and moreover, considers the worship of any spirit, diety, or god other than the Christian god as a sin.

Please read the main entry page for taoism as well. It also further emohasizes what I have said. I will contact those who submitted the similiarities to christianity and inform them of their inaccuracies. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Idx730 (talk • contribs) 08:55, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Idx730. This makes it seem you are writing about your own analysis and conclusions. Along with our sourcing guideline you should be aware of our no original research policy. Even statements of opinion must be attributed. --NeilN talk to me 13:14, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]


Query

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bladesmulti

Seendgay's comment that he is administrator. How a sockpuppet became admnistrator?

Very much confused. Right now the account is blocked. Is it true that he was administrator?

This question has no relation to your administrator candidature!Cosmic  Emperor  17:40, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Generation Z

Neither of us can prove that the source actually says this about Generation Z as follows "ABC Family uses the term "becomers" for its future target audience (Gen Z)."

So why is your edit more valid than mine?

Do you have access to Broadcasting and Cable?

2606:6000:610A:9000:1D0F:636F:39A:867D (talk) 22:53, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Please see WP:PAYWALL: "Do not reject sources just because they are hard or costly to access." You cannot reject a source just because you don't have online access to it. --NeilN talk to me 22:58, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Of course that makes sense about a paywall source. But I doubt the source says it that way. Also, it's an inferior fact -- I mean who really cares if ABC Family uses the term "becomers" for its future target audience" -- what does that even mean? In addition, the person who added the statement should rewrite it in a way that tells the audience what they are talking about and provide some context. 2606:6000:610A:9000:1D0F:636F:39A:867D (talk) 23:47, 3 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It's fine to challenge material because you don't think the source backs it up and ask the person who added the source to provide a quote. Or if you think the material doesn't belong in the article at all. Both are valid reasons but "this reference is behind a pay wall" is not. --NeilN talk to me 00:01, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mirza Ghulam Ahmad

hi, you reverted my edits just because the qadiani hackers hacked the website of www.irshad.org and because of the you couldn't access the page I referenced from Mirza's book.

Resubmitted Santorum edit

I have resubmitted the Santorum edit, with an additional citation which I hope will meet your standards for verifiability. Johnd39 (talk) 03:08, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Johnd39. I've removed the synthesis. We need a source that explicitly makes that connection. --NeilN talk to me 03:57, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Citation needed revert

Hi NielN, I see you have taken out a citation which I put in, on a page that specifically requests "citation needed". You have marked it as "good faith", which it was, so I don't understand why you are taking it out again? It's to a peer-reviewed journal article specifically on this topic. Why the change? Sorry this is a repeat message, I didn't add subject/headline last time. apiano (talk) 16:01, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Already explained here. --NeilN talk to me 16:03, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello NeilN, I have changed the internet troll edit, is that better?

apiano, looks that way but you have another editor disputing your addition. Do you have any connection to Binns? --NeilN talk to me 16:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I know, I had half a day so have done several things at once, which I think is what he is annoyed about. I've left him messages asking him to suggest changes but he is hitting undo to everything. On the Ask.fm and Formspring pages in particular, I think the current entries have clearly been written by the new owners and I think the citations to peer-reviewed research (and there is very little on the subject) are valuable. I work in the same dept but she is in no way a client. Do you have a suggestion for conflict resolution?

Ohnoitsjamie What do you think about apiano placing proposed edits on the talk pages of articles for other editors to review? --NeilN talk to me 16:28, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I'm OK with her proposing edits on the talk pages for others to consider, providing that she discloses her COI (either she is Binns or she is doing this on behalf of Binns) on any such talk page proposal. OhNoitsJamie Talk 16:30, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
apiano, please read Wikipedia:Edit requests, specifically Wikipedia:Edit_requests#Making_requests on how to do this. If you have any questions, just ask. --NeilN talk to me 16:34, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello NeilN, I think I have added a request edit to the talk page of Ask.fm, can you please take a look and tell me if this is helpful?

Hi apiano. I've fixed your post. [4] Also, please remember to sign your posts. --NeilN talk to me 16:50, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

GreenEarth Cleaning

Hi,

On the GreenEarth Cleaning page,someone had put false information, some of which is just blatant lies, the rest is out dated, non conclusive research, which has since been proven wrong by the EPA, SEHSC, and Environment Canada. I made the appropriate edits to the page. Your editor Joesph2302 then reverted those edits, stating I did not give valid reason in my edit summary. I simply stated the information was not true. I then went back and made the edits again, and was more descriptive in my edit summary. He then accused me of creating an edit war. I then received a message from another editor saying my username was in violation. So I thought may that that may have been the issue all along. So I created a new account as ajnewport, I was using the the GreenEarth Cleaning username because I thought it would be good to be up front, apparently not. Regardless, can we get this resolved and get the false, irrelevant, & outdated information off of our page please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ajnewport (talk • contribs) 18:09, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ajnewport, you've triggered sockpuppetry, edit warring, and conflict of interest reports. The best advice I can give is to stop editing the article immediately and place a note on your talk page saying that you won't be making any more changes. Then use the article's talk page to discuss the changes you want to make. Note that simply claiming the info is false or outdated is not enough. You must provide reliable sources (not vague pointers to the EPA, SEHSC, and Environment Canada) to back up your assertions or say why the existing sources are flawed. I see one of our very experienced editors, Jytdog, has carefully gone through the article and has stubbed it, citing specific problems with sources. Hopefully this should allay your concerns. --NeilN talk to me 20:07, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

United Synagogue

Please can you clarify why the assertions I made on the US.org.uk wiki page are not allowed to stand with this source: http://www.presstv.com/detail/2014/10/12/381997/israel-lobby-to-block-uk-palestine-vote/

which clearly points out that

"The Zionist pressure group "United Synagogue" has called on all its members to press their constituency representatives to reject the motion or make amendments to it

and that

"Meanwhile, Davis Lewin, the Deputy Director and Head of Policy and Research at the Henry Jackson Society (HJS), has hit out at planners of the recognition proposal, describing them as people who openly want to destroy Israel."

Why is this not a quote that is allowed to stand? Internetwikier (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The Continuing Excavations of Leigh Daniel Avidan

Greetings --NeilN talk to me

I wish to discuss with you about a recent edit I've made to the page Qumran Caves. I believe there was a little misunderstanding between the two of us, thus leading to a rather uncomfortable situation. Wishing that no offence is taken by you, I would like to inform you that there was a slight research error on your side, the error being that the above mentioned Qumran Caves were actually dug by Leigh Daniel "Seven and 3 Quarters" Avidan among others. I also wish to inform you that I've found the ban threatening message you've sent me quite offensive and a bit rude due to the fact that your research into this topic wasn't accurate at all. I hereby wish that you apologize for the ban threat you've sent me, but if you don't want to I will find it appropriate for you to simply leave the text I, and many other companions of Leigh Daniel Avidan, have left on the Qumran Caves Wikipedia page. For what are my personal feelings in comparison to the truth. I thank you in advance,

Political correctness

NeilN. i made edits to removes some examples that showed some bias and did not lend to the general understanding of "political correctness". the "right wing political correctness" section is pure BS, since the term seems to only be used by purveyors of liberal bias (as a google search shows the first page of results are mostly used in editorials and blogs). without any substantial confirmation by use, the term cannot be seen as relevant to the subject and should not be included. even the " Dixie Chicks political controversy" example does not in itself ever mention "political correctness" in any form. using a made up term as some sort of counterbalance, does not benefit to the readers and give them a better understanding of the subject. the entire section "right wing political correctness" uses an example (dixie chicks) that was about "patriotism" and not about political correctness and two sources (Krugman and Latham) who are both admitted leftists. overall, political correctness is not necessarily a liberal only concept and the entire article seems to have a "wing" bias to it, with unneeded uses of "left wing" and "right wing".

the other edit was eliminating the "false accusation" section that equates "christian" to conservative, and it is fact that most christians worldwide are not politically conservative, therefore, christian opposition to "violence (and sex, and depictions of homosexuality) on television" is not a "political correctness" issue and cannot be an example that validates the section. additionally, the "baa baa black sheep" example as "false accusations" refers to an article for support, yet that very article states "Just one problem: the reasons for the singing of words other than black is nothing to do with "political correctness".". even with the contradiction, the entire paragraph does not make any sense, eve after re reading it several time, i don't understand it. again, this section does nothing for the reader's understanding of the subject.

you just undid the edits, without even an attempt to understand why they were made...and i know this because you undid them within few minutes of my making them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Truthisfreedomandjustice (talk • contribs) 18:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Truthisfreedomandjustice: I did in fact look at your removals and saw your were removing sourced, attributed opinions. You then inserted your own point of view into the article. [9] Here you referred to European Christians but the example explicitly was about American Christians. You may have points, but these should be discussed on the article's talk page. --NeilN talk to me 18:46, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

as mentioned above, the "sourced" opinions were either not related to the subject or were poor sources...i'm sure i can find sources for alien invasions of earth. and nowhere did i add my opinion to the article. my point about the christians is that the statement equated christian with right wing, and that if false, no matter the nationality of the christians. again, opposition based on religious beliefs is not "POLITICAL correctness". as i mentioned above, political correctness is not an exclusively liberal concept, but morality is not a part of political correctness. in any case, these is no value to keeping these sections in the article, since you agree that i may have points...it makes more sense that questionable sections should be excluded until a discussion can support inclusion. inclusion of what is clearly biased material distracts from the purpose of the article Truthisfreedomandjustice (talk) 19:25, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This is your definition. And I said you may have points, but these should be discussed on the article's talk page. This is so other interested editors can participate in the discussion if they so choose. --NeilN talk to me 19:31, 8 June 2015 (UTC) Truthisfreedomandjustice Forgot to ping. --NeilN talk to me 19:33, 8 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

There was a miscommunication, I understand now, when I was on my watchlist, I clicked on diff to see what changed and it seemed like the whole of my edit work was deleted at least most of it, so after the third edit I was thinking of not using the virutal editor and do it manually and realized no text were being removed, so I understand my mistake now RussianDewey (talk) 20:05, 9 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

as involved admin, please do not freeze Meghan Trainor article to state achieved via Winkelvi's edit warring

Please allow an uninvolved admin to handle this. Thanks--BoboMeowCat (talk) 00:02, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am not involved. How do you figure that? --NeilN talk to me 00:03, 10 June 2015 (UTC) BoboMeowCat Retry ping --NeilN talk to me 00:04, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
NeilN, I seem to recall you being involved in an edit war, along with Winkelvi, on another Meghan Trainor article. When I have a chance, I will post the diffs regarding this (or retract this if I am mistaken). It also seems I recall past support from you for user:Winkelvi who appears to be edit warring disruptively here against talk page consensus, so it really seems better to let an uninvolved admin handle it.--BoboMeowCat (talk) 00:10, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
BoboMeowCat, please post diffs for this article. Just because I might edit Alabama does not mean I'm involved at Arkansas. These are my edits. Two corrections total to factual inaccuracies. Six hours full protection saves you all a trip to WP:3RRNB. --NeilN talk to me 00:17, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Found it, It was on Meghan Trainor discography where Winkelvi was edit warring against multiple users to change the opening sentence of lead. Content which had been in the article for months. At one point in the discussion, I inquired why you didn't simply ask Winkelvi to please stop edit warring against consensus: talk page discussion here: [10]. --BoboMeowCat (talk) 03:26, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
BoboMeowCat, I remember that. I got thanked by MaranoFan, one the editors usually arguing against Winkelvi, for that one edit. [11] --NeilN talk to me 03:34, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think you are mistaken, because at that point, MaranoFan had put herself on self enforced block, which multiple users attributed to wikihounding from Winkelvi, which led to an AN request to interaction ban Winkelvi. I'll see if I can find link to that discussion to confirm dates. (add link to WP:AN disussion: [12]) --BoboMeowCat (talk) 03:39, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Did you look at the diff? --NeilN talk to me 03:40, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It appears to be a link to a barnstar from MaranoFan not a diff. Perhaps we are both remembering correctly though. I think perhaps Winkelvi was edit warring so long on that article that it spanned beyond Marano's departure. I also remember right before Marano's departure, she was accepting edits that seemed disruptive from Winkelvi, apparently in hopes of getting article stable enough for FA. I've had all the Trainor articles on watchlist since flurry of RfC's and ANI's a few months back and have witnessed an unusual amount of disruption. --BoboMeowCat (talk) 03:48, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, I was aware of that AN discussion. Given the history between you three, did you not think the way things were going today, all of you wouldn't end up at some noticeboard? --NeilN talk to me 04:14, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted once and opened talk page discussion via BRD. I also don't recall having much history with Lips, beyond the fact that I believe we both voted in support of that proposed interaction ban. I honestly don't think the problems on Meghan Trainor articles are going to improve if editors who perhaps admire Winkelvi's good work elsewhere, don't acknowledge some problems. --BoboMeowCat (talk) 04:28, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
If you're assuming protection was somehow an endorsement of Winkelvi, it was not. It was simply the WP:WRONGVERSION. Protection was lifted over three hours ago, constructive comments about content have been made, and you're free to heed them or not. --NeilN talk to me 04:46, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Latest gender identity matter at Chris Crocker article

If you and/or one or more of your talk page watchers don't mind keeping an eye on this matter (see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Noticeboard#Gender identity matter at Chris Crocker article, with the WP:Permalink for it here), please do. Flyer22 (talk) 02:50, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oh gosh. I had no idea Leave Britney Alone was anything more than a video of the day type thing. --NeilN talk to me 03:07, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
You forgot all about Crocker? Shame on you. Well, as you know, that video was huge. It sustained Crocker's fame for some time. And as the Wikipedia article shows, Crocker went on to do other things and presented in a way that a lot of society deems good-looking. But then again, a lot of people felt that Crocker was pretty at times when presenting as a woman. Anyway, for now, I am avoiding male pronouns for Crocker even though Crocker has yet to state that we should start using female pronouns and the name "Christine"; I keep MOS:Identity in mind, and would rather not having anyone telling me that I am misgendering and being otherwise transphobic.

belated congratulations

I'm late to offer my congratulations on your successful RFA, but here I am! Allow me to impart the words of wisdom I received from the puppy:
  1. Remember you will always protect the wrong version.
  2. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. Without exception, you will pick the wrong one to do. (See #5.)
  3. Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
  4. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block.
  5. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. It will not be a personal attack because we are admins and, therefore, we are all rouge anyway.
  6. Finally, remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Confusion on Red Meat article

I am sure you are confused. Because this article is so lacking I attempted to alleviate some confusion with an excerpt from the Beef article. I am sorry that this other article does not meet your quality standards, and would suggest looking at it and correcting it, as you thought my edit was so egregious that you interrupted a discussion i was trying to start about off topic discussion that seem to be deliberately influencing the readers. Some commentary about the confusion (deliberate by the pork lobby and not deliberate due to the other definitions of the term is needed in the article. I hope since you are so keen on removing a the addition (which i admit is a work in progress) you will find a way to replace it that meets your standards.144.188.128.3 (talk) 23:14, 10 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ip socking

After you protected this page, faizan came back to edit with registered account. Can he be blamed for IP socking? Most SPI cases, check users say, no comments on IP. But this is not a good practice: If i log out and IP edit to pose as a different user and then log in. I disconnect my net connection and then reconnect, so that i get different IP address and then edit as a third user. --Cosmic  Emperor  04:18, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@CosmicEmperor:, I assume you're talking about Kashmir conflict. When you have a registered account mixed in with IP accounts SPI will evaluate if there's sockpuppetry involved based on behavioral evidence that you have to provide. It's not enough to say that an editor showed up after an article was semi-protected. My advice is to not make any socking accusations unless you are ready to open a SPI with rock solid evidence. --NeilN talk to me 04:36, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Claudio Bravo (footballer) page :

Hello, I know you said no yet to protect Claudio Bravo but it really becomes silly how many edits and reverts(all removes are happening by IPS none by registered users ) at this page daily, so will you please take a look at it ? already a discussion about this matter happened at :

Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Thomas_Vermaelen (similar case to bravo) . 

and also at Talk:Claudio_Bravo_(footballer)

and here is the reference for this matter which is stated clearly by the UEFA regulations (this is official UEFA website!) who gives the medals : Forty gold medals are presented to the winning club, and forty silver medals to the runner-up. Additional medals may not be produced. nothing mentioned about playing minimum minutes or not , and they left it to the club to decide .nothing mentioned about playing minimum minutes or not (http://www.uefa.com/MultimediaFiles/Download/Regulations/uefaorg/Regulations/02/09/88/17/2098817_DOWNLOAD.pdf) and Barcelona official website says he has it {http://www.fcbarcelona.com/football/first-team/staff/players/c-bravo}

even this is the source is used for which honors he has, I mean If we are not going to stick for what they are saying how are we using this as a source? since when editors can pick what they want from the source and delete what they don't want ? hope you take a look at this and thank you for your time Adnan (talk) 15:58, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Adnan, what I see is a content dispute detailed on the talk page. I see the last revert by the IP was without explanation. I will talk to them and indicate they need to continue discussing. --NeilN talk to me 16:06, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, but wikiproject page already discussed this matter
once here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Thomas_Vermaelen.27s_page_question_please_:
another time here : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Thomas_Vermaelen
and again did you see the links i have provided ?I provided two official sources one of them is the booklet regulation published by the organization and another one is the official club website and they says he won it.. people keep arguing by saying a report by media from ( voetbalkrant.com ) said otherwise. again only IPS disagree with this and remove it, but registered people are going with what has been said to the wikiproject . thank you for listening :) Adnan (talk) 16:13, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Adnan, see WP:INVOLVED. I cannot say your sources are good and then semi-protect the page. If you have consensus then other editors will revert back to the agreed-upon version and the IP will be forced to use the talk page to change consensus. You are, of course, free to seek the opinion of another admin regarding protection. --NeilN talk to me 16:19, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Oh no need for another admin , It would be silly to jump from admin to another just because another admin didn't agree with what I have said , you don't know me neither know the IPS so I believe you are trying to speak fairly and neutrally and you have been for 9 years so I am sure you know what you are doing :) therefore I 100% trust and will support your decision bud , I was trying to explain my points for you only for real :) I stopped trying to revert it if you noticed since sometimes I think other two users recently they have been trying to add them back. there are other articles to work at :) thank you for listening man :) Adnan (talk) 16:29, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Sir! At Bangladesh Liberation War, it needs at least semi-protecting. The edit-warring IPs are not discussing it on article's talk. We need temporary protection. Please reconsider your decision. Faizan (talk) 16:00, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Fully protected for two days. --NeilN talk to me 16:17, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, it will allow force the editors to concentrate on the talk page. Another request, can you have a look here? I mean can you add "Page Protected" there? Faizan (talk) 16:31, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Done. --NeilN talk to me 16:44, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Faizan (talk) 16:46, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for protecting the page. Another request; you protected the last revision which still carries the edits done by the IPs. Please if you can protect this: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bangladesh_Liberation_War&oldid=666764786 version i instead. This was the version edited by Faizan and myself beyond which the edit war began. Thanks PakSol talk 18:54, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@PakSol: Please see WP:WRONGVERSION. Unless the version has a BLP violation or vandalism, I'm not touching the content of the version I happen to protect. --NeilN talk to me 18:59, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The reason behind the edit war which was initiated by the IPs was that it was adding 'sources' which did not support the text they were added to. I added a citation needed tag and reluctantly the IP came up with certain sources which infact were not accurate. Ref # 13, 14 and 15 added by the IP became the cause of the problem. I have gone through each source and can tell you that they do not support the text they are attached to. May be if you can, I would request you to see it for yourself.

The sentence which was edited by me was: "The junta formed radical religious (bold part was removed) militias- the Razakars, Al-Badr and Al-Shams- to assist the Pakistan Army during raids on the local populace"(citation needed was added here).

As a response, the IP add sources 13, 14 and 15. I am placing the snapshots of these sources below, I would request you to go through them and decided if they support the unsourced text above:

File:Ref13.JPG
Does this proof they were 'radical religious'?
File:Ref14.JPG
Does this prove they assisted Pak Army during raids on civilians? It only mentioned Al-Badar, what about the Razakars & Al-Shams?

Please don't. As the admin who protected the page, I don't get to judge content per WP:INVOLVED. --NeilN talk to me 19:51, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I understand your limitations. But I can conclude that in an edit war might is always right. Thanks for your time PakSol talk 19:55, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RE: RPP

Even under the circumstances where user was clearly editing/blanking/reverting under extreme bad faith then I see. I'll just point out the rather rude things he was saying in his edit notes as he was reverting both of us. Melody Concertotalk 20:29, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Melody Concerto: WP:OWNTALK is worth a read. And I've removed those edit summaries. --NeilN talk to me 20:31, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, thank you very much! Melody Concertotalk 20:35, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Parametric Chassis

Hello NeilN. You said that the article was for promo, it wasn't... Its a Greek patent and innovation with copyrights . The article talks for what is parametric chassis and suspension module, phrases that you haven't here, so we extend your library.
