About Some of the Suspicious edits

Be Bold. Some edits you flagged as suspicious (Oshwah thinks that edit on enwiki to Cub Foods by 24.148.72.178 (704458724) is likely a vandalism, but they didn't revert it, etc.) can be mostly reverted for failure to cite a reliable source/inappropriate biographical content. Cheers, Dat GuyTalkContribs 18:52, 11 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

question about "mens rights" vandals.

I see that you reverted RainbowTubaStudios edit on the mens rights movement article. good job catching it so quickly. I'd like to ask if we should take this user, and others that have vandalised the article in similar, blatant ways to AN/I? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Insertcleverphrasehere (talk • contribs)

Hi, Insertcleverphrasehere! Thanks for leaving me a message with your question! In a nutshell, if an IP or user has been warned enough times and continues to vandalize Wikipedia, you can report them at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism (or AIV). This is the best place to report repeated vandalism by a user in order to have an administrator block them. ANI is best for behavioral or other issues that require administrator intervention. Hope this helps! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:13, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!  InsertCleverPhraseHere InsertTalkHere  21:02, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon my intrusion. As a general rule the vandals need to be WP:Warned and have edited thereafter. Helps if is recent. Although if it is really egregious, warnings can be dispensed with. If it is an IP vandale, helps to identify them in the report as a "school" if that applies. If it is a registered user, if it is "vandalism only" this is good to mention. Typically I will use some formulatin such as "red, hot, now. Warned and persists" with other facts as indicated above. Warnings help lay down a record that merits actions. Hope that helps. 7&6=thirteen (☎) 21:10, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
7&6=thirteen introduces good points. As I said, The IP/user needs to have been warned enough times and continue to vandalize Wikipedia. However, like 7&6=thirteen stated, there are situations that warrant warnings unneeded. Thanks, 7&6=thirteen! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:31, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality is Subjective

Hi thank you for responding so fast. I feel so important. No I am not brownnosing. I just wrote and wrote what was in my mind. If you read my edit, you will see that u it comes from facts and I can prove it. Not neutral. I am not soliciting or marketing nor am I wanting a percentage of anything. I believe that Wikipedia, who is composed of regular minded people such as myself, a new member must be treated with respect. Are you the reaper for wikipedia? Ask me why I wrote this? Judging is not good for your position. YOu must communicate with the editor, me and suggest ways to edit,

I need to know why we need to be neutral. You mean, not honest? In between? Not taking sides? The lady with a blindfold carrying a symbol of balance? How does she know its not tee ter tottering? How do you know my information comes from facts? ANd I was not done.

Words are definitive. Words do bleed. Words or communicated words are very powerful. I believe I would suggest to Wikipedia that you must not rudely delete words written from the heart. You ZAPPED my edit unilaterally! Who advised you? Yourself that you think that Larry Page, my edit is not based on fact, which it is. Do you think I was soliciting? I was attempting to inform the commons that Wikipedia can be artistic and factual at the same time and written with feelings. That is what we now, Words of love.

First, I need to know in bulleted horizontal columns what is your criteria for deleting my edit. You are responsible for your actions. What if I was a teenager who decided to contribute and be part of wikipedia and grow with it and learn? Then you just zapped my creation.

If I may suggest that in every important people in technology that is directly involved in our lives and the matrix that we live in. Censorship without consultation hurts people's feelings. Especially it was my first edit. And do not even know how to really navigate Wikipedia.

It is true, that Larry Page is how I describe him from my research; it is true that he needs to know that his people need to develop the same design but better when it comes to the Microsoft Surface Book Pro and the IPAD PRO with "pen".

I only stated all the compliments from the heart because he is one of the main Android operating system innovators that so many millions of people use now.

My message could have a metaphor? Don't you think that what I said about Larry Page was true? My USPTO patent is based on the very fact, that as Registered Nurse for 28 years, I innovated a design, which I do not need Larry Page or Google or Apple or Windows for any kind of monetary request? I am doing this on my own. My mistake was that I wrote draft to final. When one edits, when one writes from the heart, its dangerous in a sense that the orginal writing will lose its real define. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AzimuthPolarity5 (talk • contribs) 22:21, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, AzimuthPolarity5 - There are many things wrong with your edit to Larry Page, a biography of a living person (which has stricter guidelines than other articles). Opinion and neutrality can be subjective at times, but you made it perfectly clear in your edit. You added: "I believe his success or his calling is based on the desire to make the world a better place for all", and "I am sure that he looks at those kids and automatically has myriad of novel ideas, designs and 3d thoughts that not even an engineer can muster. He I'd one of my comments two years ago. I was just learning the G+ then. I have and think the same way he does. Just wish he can use my creativity. I feel that he is one of those successful CEOs' that would just want to be behind the limelight and invent in his own space. I relate to him". If this is a direct quote from the person, then it needs to be formatted and cited with a reliable source. I don't believe that is the case. You also mention "your research" in your message to me above. Remember that original research is not allowed on Wikipedia (especially on articles that are biographies of living people); everything you add on Wikipedia must be attributable to a reliable source, or actually attributed (cited) with a reliable sourced. Unreferened information can be challenged and removed (unreferenced controversial information must be removed from BLP articles). Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to respond and assist you. Thanks for leaving me a message about your concerns, and I wish you happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:04, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Old definition is vandalism and false/libelous information,inflammatory and Racially charged negative connotation Bigotry towards one race, while other prides definitions are being used by wikipedia to promote positive connotations of other races

TYVM

Thanks for this. Not surprisingly, he's restored the comments. He's a WP:LTA who has, for whatever reason, focused on me and hounding my edits, doing his level best to get me in trouble with edit warring or whatever he can come up with at the moment. It's been going on for over a year now. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:02, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Winkelvi - Of course; you're very welcome. I've reported the user to AIV SPI, so it'll hopefully be handled there (and soon) :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:28, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for doing that. It's beyond old and tiresome. Most of the time, I just ignore him, but I was curious to see how he would respond to my query. His answer was not surprising and met all of my expectations. lol -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:30, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, hey -- I just noticed. I thought you reported the IP user. That was a surprise to see. It will be interesting to see where the report goes. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:31, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Winkelvi - So I removed the AIV report - the user had no warnings left on his/her talk page. But there is an SPI open here. If there are more accounts that you think are related, please add them to the report :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:44, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confused. Are you saying you think the account you reported at AIV, the TruthInLies account, and the NY IP vandal/harasser/hound are all the same? If so, I guess I wouldn't have come to that conclusion without some real conclusive evidence. If you have some, I'd be interested to see it. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 23:46, 12 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'm confident that there's some socking going on. There's a report open to have someone look into it. We'll see what is uncovered ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:17, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from User:D.R Neal G

Can you explain to me in plain English why your are deliberately altering for no reason my update to Budbrooke Barracks when I've supplied reliable reference. You seem to be committing the very thing your spouting out against on your page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by D.R Neal G (talk • contribs) 04:08, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, D.R Neal G and thanks for chatting with me and helping me out here. We don't need to edit war, get uncivil, and start a big fight just to discuss your edit, right? I'll be more than happy to discuss the edit you made to Budbrooke Barracks and help you out. The issue with this edit is a few things:
  1. It has issues with our neutral point of view guidelines. In the edit, you said "The site has since been developed in to a thriving housing estate called Hampton Magna" (I formatted the word in issue) - "thriving" can be translated as an insertion of opinion, or speaking unnecessarily positive towards the housing in a biased manner. The NPOV policy will help you with this.
  2. The statement above was unreferenced. Can you provide a source that says they were renamed? See Wikipedia's guidelines on reliable sources and citing sources for when it's appropriate and required to cite a source.
  3. You cited a Wikipedia article in some of your content. You need to pull the actual source from the article instead of citing other Wikipedia articles. Those don't count as secondary sources, and technically could count as "original research" in a way.
One you fix those issues, your edit should be fine. By the way, please leave messages at the bottom of people's talk pages. Not the top. :-)
Please let me know if you have any more questions. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:20, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment by User:D.R Neal G Let start by saying I personally dislike kids dressed up in military garb referring to stuff in pseudo military language like as war, a fight etc. if you ever been in a battle field you would not been so keen to ape the military. I have in front of me a volume of the encyclopedia Britannia, that was complied by academics usually noble prize winner. Also in front of me is my computer with Wikapedia that is edited and administrated by well not it seems noble price winning academics. But ill-educated vain kids that like to portray themselves as having standard they don't possess. Does that ring any bells? As your a prime example User:Oshwah a total parody who vandalism a entry I made justifying with a lame semantic argument. There a four letter word that sums you up and your full of it kid.
D.R Neal G, I don't understand the argument you're trying to convey. You say that this site is maintained by "ill-educated vain kids" that don't "possess standards", but you become angry when asked to cite a reliable source with your statements, as well as reference what is constituted as a reliable source. These are common standards that any person would understand and assume is a rule in practice on websites like Wikipedia. If you're referencing The Encyclopedia Britannica, then you need to cite it properly. Tell us where you're getting the information from. Why is that such a big deal to you? Why get so angry over something like this? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:54, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Comment by User:D.R Neal G You keep referring to standards, standards are something you don't possess or have a vague sense off. User:Oshwah You know very well I supplied a reliable source, your playing games, probably having a good old chuckle over that lame semantic argument for deleting my update. What can a place be other than thriving, dead like your personality. Your impressing no one with your glib responses. If you set yourself high standards, that you can only fantasize of ever achieving or to lazy to have a go at achieving than why be here spouting rubbish. To answer you other question so far I've encounter kids that are unable to conduct themselves in adult manner and play fair. Your not a good ambassador for Wikipedia or its reliability. Your presence on here doing the service no flavors.
User:D.R Neal G - I believe that I have done everything possible to provide you with the appropriate assistance you need regarding your dispute, and in a professional manner that is acceptable. Unfortunately, I cannot assist you any further. Your uncivil comments made here (and more importantly, directly toward other editors who have also tried to assist you in good faith) show me that your intentions are not to let me help you, and that you're really not here to build Wikipedia. I'm sorry; this conversation has been escalated to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 08:49, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Place of Birth Edit on Imtiaz Ali Page

Hello there!

I am writing to you on behalf of Imtiaz Ali. This is to bring to your notice that the correct place of birth is 'Jamshedpur', as opposed to Bihar( as mentioned in the current edit).

I had tried to cite the source for the same; but you have still rejected the same.

Please find below a couple of other sources for the same:

[1] [2] [3] [4]

Hoping that you would please consider this change. Please do let me know in case of any concern.

Sara Bareilles

Hi Can you please explain why did you delete my edits? What references are you looking for Sara not having kids? Or not being married? Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andkir1 (talk • contribs) 15:05, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Andkir1 - it was both. I recommend that you review Wikipedia's policies regarding biographies of living people, as it will further explain why information must be referenced that could be interpreted as controversial in BLP articles. To add the information, just cite a reliable source. Although, I will say this: the information you want to add, even if referenced, might be removed by other editors as not being "necessary". However, I'll leave that to someone else. The main concern here is the fact that it's unreferenced and in a BLP article. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be more than happy to help you :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Closure notice

Hi. I'm making a friendly suggestion about your recent closure notice at ANI "Issue with incivility and WP:NOTHERE". You may wish to consider including the name of the banning admin or the diff of the ban notification which includes the admin's name. To the inexperienced reader, it looks like you raised the concern, you discussed the concern and then you blocked the user. This is a very minor concern, but might help avoid future confusion. All the best.DrChrissy (talk) 16:12, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your message on my talk page

Dear Oshwah,

In reply to your message, I did want to add the following source: http://www.espncricinfo.com/new-zealand-v-australia-2015-16/content/story/972303.html to my edit of Adam Voges but couldn't because I couldn't type the captcha code correctly/it didn't load.

No subject

Hi, You invited me to discuss about my changes to the Apollo site.

Collapsing, as it is a huge block of text.

In short: Wikipedia is full of fake info with no support what so ever (many so called sources attached to page sybjects, leads to nowhere or fake/made up books which does not exist, or it quotes the quoter which quotes his own books full of his own opinnions). Wikipedia admins does not verify the existing or veridicy of the mention sources, but automatically considers them "true" if the names of the quotes sources are pompos enough, or have in it artificial inserted famous names like "Harvard" or "Cambridge". This being so most insignificant problem of the site. Bigger problems is that the site is intensive used by greek nationalists for their political agenda. During the last 10 years they deleted info and countless historical maps and artefact pictures under the pretencies that after 20 years of vieuwing, those relevant maps and pics may no longer be showed on "copyrights reasons", while those have been absolete after so many years anyway. Another problem is that the site contains countless contradictory infi. What on one page us says white (abstract example) on another page about the same subject it says "black". It's a total chaos. The greek nationalists which now succeded to be admins here, continuously vandalise the site, deleting directly real data backed up by official references, replacing with empty words and fake info without any sources (let proper sources of any kind). They even say that inserting a hyperlink in the text I add, link which leads to another wikipedia page (like the "Greece" page for example), it's not prrmitted because (I quote them): "informations from Wikipedia are not to be trusted". So.. it looks like the Circus came to town and it's name is Wikipedia. If info from wikipedia is not to be trusted, why do they not accept my info pretending that it's not trustfull? Logically the place of untrustfull info is on untrustfull sites. CONCRET EXAMPLE about what I experience here, as an old historian with 45 years experience in the field: Apollo (all names were first descriptions, which became later Names), known first as Apulu as he was from Apulum(now the city if Alba Iulia), city in Hyperborea, was known by ancient greeks as The Hyperborean Apollo. (Herodotus explains that Hyperborwa was not in the nothern Greece were Macedonia was, but in the far north, above Danube, the land later called Dacia. Apollo was the son of Zeus, known by Herodotus as Zeus of Dodona, another ancient NON-greek zone. The mount Olympus zone was allways in Dacian zone bellow Danube, province of Macedonia, the olympian language (see Aromanian language page) also being non greek, but thracian/dacian/aromanian. The southern half of Macedonia together with other countrie's teritories and together with the mount Olympus zone, were stolen by Genocide, by Greece, on century ago. Before that, mount Olympus never had anything to do with Greece ir the greeks. See also multicoloured map of the Greek teritorial Gains at the GREECE page here. Being as ysyal very proud of their genocide if any era, the greeks also published stamps (to be found on the net, I gave it too) which shows what teritory took Greece, from what country, and in what year. The greek nationalists falsifjed by now (for years!) whole wikipedia, where they present the olymlian Gods as "greek" Gods, Apollo from far off Greece also as "greek" god, etc., ignoring even their own ancient greek historians. Any repare attempt to correct the info here according to ancient greek historians, is quicky reverted according to perpetyal political agresive greek agenda concerning Macedonia. If you know the history from at least ladt century, you know more than I need to tell you here. Alexander Macedon was born in 4-th century in Pella, in Thrace. The "thracian state between 5-th and 3-rd century BC) could show also the thracian zone, but that map too was deleted from the site, after many years of existing on the site. Historical data can prove the truth anyway. Alexander used hats and helmets typicalli for non greeks, with it's top pointed foreward (like phrygian cap), style which ancient greeks allwats atributed to NON greeks, also called "barbarians". This was also seen later in the movie Alexander, also the movie Troy, where the greeks did not even know who Apollo was, and destroyed it's tempels. I neec a couple of months just to tell you how many kakameny fairytales were inserted here by greek nationalists while removing every real info, ecisted or attepted later, of real historians, so I will only tell you this too and I wil stop here: The greeks invaded Pelasgia (starting wich Mycene, south of Pelasgia) and than Troy..etc, being official in existence in Europe, only since 13-th century BC. The olympian Gods are much mych older. Even Troy is mych older than that cause in order to be attacked by the invading greeks, it had to exist first. According to the greek nationalists on wikipedia, everything in the world is "greek" or greek related. Real historuans and real proof in the real world prices otherwise. We do not care about wikipedia, but is being observed that paralel with the decaying of school education, more and more youngsters come on wikipedua for info. Thus they create later a total different history than the real one. This is why we try to repare the nonsense on wikipedia. Half an our ago I got mad and placed a saecasting adding at the thracian language paragraph where some cretins sayd that the Thracia was invaded and thracian language "slavicized" continuously until 5 century AD, when "the last remnants of thracian language dissapeared". Biggest absurdity ever. Not only that the thracian language us stil spoken today (but called aromanian/romanian), but the skavs did not even came to Europe/Thrace until the 6-th century AD. The cretin poster meant maybe that OR the slavs were "time travellers", or the slavs exterminated the thracian language before, from a distance, through Skype, by convincing a whole civilisation to forget who they are and their own language, and to adopt the new slavic one.

PS: Sorry for those many written mistakes (I use my cell phone now) and that in the final I forgot to sign it. There is quite a lot to say about a lot of falsifying facts on wikipedia, but I didn't want to bore you, esspecially when you are the only admin which talks. The rest in the past started yelling "ATACK TO PERSON!!" and blocked me for a month, telling me this in a message where they pretended to insert a link for my reaction, link that they blocked too so I can't answer or complain.Muntele (talk) 18:28, 13 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Muntele: If you don't know enough English to understand what the articles say, you shouldn't edit the English language Wikipedia. Thracian language does not say what you claim it says, when you edited the article it said "Most of the Thracians were eventually Romanized, Hellenized or Slavicized, with the last remnants surviving in remote areas until the 5th century", not just "Slavicized". The claim about them being "Slavicized" has now been removed by me, though, after checking the source, where there's no mention of any Slavic influence, only Greek and Roman. Meaning that I have done what you should have done, i.e. checking sources and correcting to what the source says, instead of just adding unencyclopaedic POV comments.

Another thing: I just got threatened by another admin which blocks me every month even if I do not even come on wikipedia (it seems that I am a "to be blocked" client on his personal agenda list), where he purposelly (in order to try to argument his continue hostile behaviour towards everybody which does not accept his dictatorship) remainds my past info corections on the site, at the Dacians pages, where I also added official sources as well as "forbidden" links to this same wikipedia, "not trustworthy site" according to him and his greek nationalists team there. I attache here his today reaction, but before that I wish to point out that I am an historian and archaeologist since before his father was born, I am from Dacia, and I know my iwn history more than anybody else. So when it comes about what happened in Dacia, I am the one who knows stuff and tell others, not the other way arround as the adnin you see bellow force me under threat to accept his point if view and ignore the real history. Bellow you have his message to me, today.

Please stop adding unsourced content, as you did to Trajan's Dacian Wars. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blockedfrom editing Wikipedia. Warning for repeated unsourced edits (see page history of article). And it's not only this article but several more, all showing repeated seemingly POV edits, with no sources supporting them.

contributer

Hello Oshwah, I have been a minor contributor to Wikipedia over the years. In fact, I just got a message from you about a change I made to a mistake on Adam Worth. I know you get a lot of questions so please forgive me for taking up your time. I have a PhD in geology and think that Wikipedia is the most amazing thing ever constructed. I am a professor and I cannot tell you how often I use your graphs and images to help my classes (with reference of course). I have read a bit about Wikipedia and wonder how so many people can work on it for no money. It is my understanding that only one person at Wikipedia makes a salary. So I hate to sound like a capitalist but what is in this for the contributors. I ask this only because I am curious and am not because I am seeking any compensatory amount for an of my contributions (not that they would be worth much).

New Feminism: "Obedience and Dependency"

Hi there, Oshwah! Thank you so much for reaching out about my deletion on the "New Feminism" page. I'm new to Wikipedia editing and didn't realize there was a protocol for deleting content, so I'd like to apologize for that. I would like to explain my deletions in hopes that you will again remove them from the page.

There is a section on the "New Feminism" page called "Obedience and Dependency". As a Catholic and follower of New Feminism, I know that all of the content under that section is paraphrased to the point of complete warping of the information. None of that is true, and is in fact a common misconception that we fight against. This misinformation and misconstrued idea of a man "leading" a woman and her subsequent obedience to him is something that is openly criticized in all of the classes I've taken on Theology of the Body/Catholicism and Feminism. It is extremely unfortunate that such information is presented as fact on a popular website like Wikipedia.

Most of the "New Feminism" page is spot on, and a great resource! However, some bits are not only untrue/not what this movement subscribes to, but are heretic in the eyes of the Catholic Church, which heads up the movement (ie. "She is their Eucharist." under "Masculinity", which I also attempted to delete.)

I would appreciate it if you would further look into these queries and re-delete the content, given this explanation. Many thanks! 2602:306:36D3:87A0:F0C8:AF70:CAE9:D99D (talk) 23:55, 13 February 2016 (UTC)Aly[reply]

Deletion without explaination

A change I made was reverted and I am curious why and how to fix it. I have been trying to wikify the sources and citations on the Gestures in language acquisition page because there were two separate citation/reference lists. I consolidated it into one and had it cited according to wikipedia standards. Perhaps there is a reason that these were separated and if so, why? If not, how do I have my edits restored without going through individually as I have already done this twice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cait ash (talk • contribs) 22:26, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Cait ash. Thanks for leaving me a message regarding your concerns. I saw this edit that you made to Gestures in language acquisition. You removed the references, but you didn't explain why. I went ahead and looked at your previous changes before that removal; it appears that you were converting that list to in-line citations using Wikipedia's manual of style - perfect! I went ahead and rolled back my reversion - the article is now back to the version with all of your changes applied. In the future, it would be helpful if you left good edit summaries explaining what you're changing and why. This way, other reviewers and editors will understand and know what you're doing. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you with anything you need. Thanks again for the message, and happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 22:35, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I will ensure that I will explain why in the future. However, there are still some citations that I did edit and fix that are still appearing as they were. I do not want to go through and edit again because like I said I have already done it twice. Is there anything you or I can do to fix this? Cait ash (talk) 22:52, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Cait ash - I double checked and verified that I reversed my changes and restored the version of the article that was saved immediately prior to my changes. There also appears to have been changes made since my reversion. Are you sure that there is a problem? You can look at the history of the article; every single change saved is available, and you can view and edit every reversion and find what changed. So you don't have to manually change anything again if you've changed it before. I hope this helps you out. Please feel free to message me any time you have questions or need anything :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:01, 14 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bangerhanger (talk) 01:36, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Bangerhanger - See my previous response. You need to review Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy, and Wikipedia's reliable sources policy. These will answer your questions and assist you. I also see that you've just indicated that you claim to know Jordan Raskopoulos personally. This represents a conflict of interest. Editing articles where you have a conflict of interest is very discouraged behavior on Wikipedia. It removes your ability to edit the article in a neutral point of view. You indicated that you're editing the article because you're "trying to support her" - this is not neutral. Please read the Wikipedia policies I've cited, and let me know if you have any more questions. Putting the content back on the article repeatedly without discussing it first can constitute edit warring, which can get you blocked. Before doing so, start a discussion on the article's talk page. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:41, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nina Czegledy edit

Hi Oshwah, I have been doing some minor edits to help correct this page for new media artist Nina Czegledy. I have noticed that some of this information is incorrect, and I am starting to correct portions of this page as I go. Her inclusion as an article is important as she is an important Canadian digital and new media artist. I am not convinced that the 'flight from Hungary' text is useful or relevant. She has made some documentary films (for example see here: https://isea2011.sabanciuniv.edu/.czegledy) so that is relevant enough to remain. But you are right, I should have included some explanatory text along with the edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cargill208 (talk • contribs)

Hi, Cargill208! Thanks for leaving me a message here. The reason that I revered [your https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Nina%20Czegledy&diff=705010353 edit] to Nina Czegledy was because you did not explain why you removed the content using the edit summary. When making major edits to articles, it's important that you explain each one using the edit summary. This helps other reviewers and editors understand what you're doing and why. If you do this, you should be good to go. Please let me know if you have any more questions or if you need assistance.

Topic bans on user pages

I thought topic bans also applied to user talk pages, per WP:TBAN; that is, a topic ban includes not just articles but discussions or suggestions about weather-related topics anywhere on Wikipedia, for instance a deletion discussion concerning an article about a meteorologist, but also including edit summaries and the user's own user and talk pages (including sandboxes). 99.236.126.9 (talk) 02:00, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So I reviewed the policy again after our previous discussion. You are correct. I redacted my response in that earlier conversation with you on the enforcement page - I said that it only applies to article and article talk; that was not correct. However, I think he was discussing more-so his declined appeal than the subject of longevity. If you still feel that this is a violation, you can create a new discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents or Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement (just make sure that you follow the instructions this time ;-) - you added discussion to the end of a closed thread). However, I don't think that it will result in action (but this is just my opinion). Hope this helps :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:21, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
There's another IP involved who posted on the AE page. The editor in question has continued to post on the topic and replaced that post after it was removed as a violation, which I think are also violations of the topic ban. I would file an AE action but the page says I can't as an IP. 99.236.126.9 (talk) 20:07, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, 99.236.126.9 - You can create a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' Noticeboard/Incidents if you feel that there are topic ban violations or behavioral issues that are occurring. You don't have to have an account to express your concerns there. Just be sure to provide clear evidence as to what is being violated, and why you believe it to be a violation. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:12, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, 142.162.117.51. I appreciate you for providing the article that discusses the sex scandal, but I also believe that the content you added has issues with Wikipedia's policy of adhering to a neutral point of view. The content you added gives undue weight to the sex scandal and what makes the person notable. It can be read as an unnecessary bias, which is something that must be removed/fixed as much as possible. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:29, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Inaccurate Soca music information on Wikipedia

Hello my real name is Ian Henry and I am based in London.

I am originally from Trinidad & Tobago and have done a lot of research on soca music starting from the mid 1980's. I was also born in 1962 and so grew up in T&T when soca music was created and gradually became the popular musical sound track of carnival during the late 1970’s.

During the course of my research I have collected most of the calypso and soca recordings from the main soca pioneers (Shorty, Maestro, Ed Watson, Pelham Goddard, Shadow and others). I regard myself as an expert on the music of Lord Shorty as I have a collection of all his albums and most of his singles from 1972 till his death from bone-marrow cancer in 2000. I also interviewed Shorty with his family in Piparo in Trinidad in 1992 when he was alive that was even before Harold Pysadee did his 1995 interview with Shorty for Culture Share which is now uploaded to YouTube.

I noticed some gross errors and misinformation about soca pioneers Shorty and Maestro in the Soca music article a while ago and decided it was time to take the time to correct the misinformation to make the info more accurate especially regards to timelines for releases and events mentioned.

I've noticed that you stated that my information and corrections was biased so you removed them. I've also noticed that one of the links that was cited for some of the wrong information that I spotted was cited to socawarriors.net to a discussion thread that is dealing with some other topic that has nothing to do with soca music.

Can you state exactly what information that I posted that you regard as biased as I know for sure that all of the information that I have posted on Shorty and Maestro is dead accurate and has been and can be verified.

I can tell you for starters that the late Maestro did not have a house or live in Dominica as currently stated in the Wikipedia information on Soca music; Maestro’s house was in Princess Town Trinidad. Nor did Maestro experiment with cadence and calypso as stated in the Wikipedia information, Shorty was the one who did that experiment in 1975 for a track on his 1976 album and not Maestro. Nor did Maestro die in an accident in Dominica as stated in the Wikipedia information. The late Maestro who was Lord Shorty's close calypso friend (as they both lived in the same area in Trinidad) died in Trinidad on 30th August 1977 when he was hit by a car on the Solomon Hochoy Highway while helping someone change a flat tyre.

I have done a lot of research on soca music which has been commended by members of TUCO in Trinidad including the TUCO president Lutalo Masimba (See his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/bro.resistance). Here is a link to one of my information threads (http://www.islandmix.com/backchat/f16/tribute-lord-shorty-aka-ras-shorty-i-father-soca-thread-252325/#post4278164) which anyone can learn a lot from if they take time to read it as it is all based on accurate well researched information backed by the chronological music recordings.

If all is okay with you I will try to correct the misinformation on Shorty and Maestro once again and hopefully you will realise that I am actually helping to raise the standard and credibility of the Wikipedia info on Soca music by providing totally accurate and well researched information.

Best regards Ian Henry aka Socapro — Preceding unsigned comment added by Socapro (talk • contribs) 07:15, 15 February 2016 (UTC) Socapro (talk) 07:24, 15 February 2016 (UTC) Socapro (talk) 07:30, 15 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ian. I hope Oshwah doesn't mind me making a comment here.
I agree that many of the Caribbean music articles on Wikipedia are lacking good sources. A few musicologists such as Jocelyne Guilbault have written books on the topic; these should be the backbone of the articles. Not website forum discussions such as socawarriors.net! You are correct in taking that out in this series of edits which involve the London IP 2.99.64.43 and also your registered username Socapro.
I respect your expertise on the topic, an expertise gained through years of study. The problem, and it's a big one, is that Wikipedia must be based on published facts, not on new or unpublished analysis. The hard-and-fast rule is called WP:No original research—please read it. Original research is what authors do, and rightly so, but it is not allowed on Wikipedia. If you want to bring your expertise to bear on the articles about Caribbean music then you must either use your expertise to find published sources saying the things you know to be true, or you must write your own account and get it published in an established publication. Your personal analysis cannot be carried by Wikipedia. Binksternet (talk) 05:46, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

On the little change for the release year of latest Gary Lucas CD

Hi, I'm Bjh, and I'm the one who did the little change on Gary Lucas' page. I was just listening to the CD, freshly delivered from Cuneiform Records. It appeared on their January 2016 batch (each ear, Cuneiform is releasing three batches of 5 [sometimes 6] CDs and I always buy them all) - in January, May and September. It is definitely a 2016 Cuneiform release. Here is the page from the label:

Soka Gakkai page

Hi Oshwah, I mentioned on the talk page that I think the quantity of Nichiren Shoshu material on the Soka Gakkai page is excessive—nearly 1900 words. Other encyclopedias have less than half that amount on the Soka Gakkai subject. I would like to edit it down to what is relevant to the Gakkai in one section. If you want a more detailed explanation of what I would like to do, I can provide it. I posted my intent in general several weeks ago and waited for responses, but none was forthcoming, so I thought it was okay to go ahead. Let me know what I need to do. Thanks.Ltdan43 (talk) 21:41, 17 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have been editing on several pages for about two years. What happened?Ltdan43 (talk) 04:22, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Ltdan43 - Please let me apologize for the delay getting back to you. The reason I removed your edits here and here was because you did not leave a helpful explanation with your changes. If you do this in the future, it will help other editors understand what you are trying to do. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:28, 18 February 2016 (UTC)`[reply]

Regarding your apology, don't worry, I can see you have a full plate. We all volunteer our time, but you are in a different league all together. I understand your reasons. I made a couple of specific points on the talk page, but will give a more full account. If you go back over a year, there is a consensus that the Soka Gakkai page was too long and somewhat chaotic. Since the Soka Gakkai and Nichiren Shoshu have been separated for over 25 years, there are some things that are not relevant. The history of course must remain, but some matters that are really Nichiren Shoshu more than Soka Gakkai can be taken out. Plus, there are like five sections spread out through the text that are Nichiren Shoshu matters. If you return me to among the living, I will detail any edits on the Soka Gakkai talk page prior to taking action. Thanks for your service to Wikipedia.Ltdan43 (talk) 17:36, 18 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Huntingdon, Pennsylvania Edits

Hi there. I made a few edits to the Huntingdon, Pennsylvania page. I'm a new user and did not realize I should explain the reasoning for my edits. From now on, I will make sure to do that. When I deleted content, I was planning on moving it somewhere else- not deleting it entirely. I'd appreciate if you could please leave the edited content on the page, as I am asking feedback from many residents of Huntingdon to see what they would like to see on the page.

Hella subject

Hi Oshwah, yes I do feel my story was a bit sloppy and should have been done in a different productive manner, it was a cut and paste rough draft, I got into a post when I heard someone say Hella, I asked them what it meant to see there version as I do jokingly with people in the past decades, then I tell them the story and history of it and it's origin, I usually don't do this often as I some times get burnt out telling the story, but ya anyways it is a dutch word and my whole family said this work in their broken English growing up, my father side of the family is from Holland, I didn't make up the word as it is already a true word in Dutch spelled Heele or sometimes Hele, used in different context to it's sentence in meaning, it means in dutch very, or everything or entire or whole. I grew up saying hella this and hella that as my cousin did as well, I have witnesses to this as well being my family and friends who ended up liking my slang using it in the same manner as we do in dutch, I said this for everything in the 70's just being used to it as my family did, Heele dis and Heele allemal, but ya, forgive me for saying I was young and used it in terms of smoking, I should leave that part out and be more professional, hope you can forgive me, I'm not to familiar to Wiki other than using it to research, I've never had an account, but will you please work with me getting this story out and the truth of it, you can google this to see the proof I am talking about, I'l show you a google link even with translator to show you verification it's dutch as well, it kills me I am not getting credit for this after seeing how far my word has come, I jumped out of my chair and my jaw dropped when I seen Bart Simpson say it on tv,,,lol Please believe me when I'm sharing this with you, here is Heele being used exactly how it's being described in your introduction to show you the truth https://translate.google.com/#nl/en/heele%20lekker , Please Please help me get my credit I deserve and end all those guestimations listed from the very 1st posters, some of the stuff posted from not to far back might be true after the fact of it's slang creation, but the stuff I'm reading from it's claimed origins aren't true, and my family can testify this knowing I used this term constantly as a child in the 70's from it's dutch origins. So if your willing to work with me on this I would be so appreciative, it will end this mystery of wiki's guessing and not fully understanding the facts I can give. Please take into consideration some of my evidence through google translate. I'm hoping this all will make sense to you after, It's been real hard and frusterating for the last decades explaining this to people, but ya, should I really expect people to believe me when this world is so doubtful, most people are like ya sure, right, your the one who created Hella,,,sigh..I don't expect everyone to believe me, it doesn't bother me anymore being I know the truth as well as my family does. People even have a hard time when I tell them Koolio used to live across the street from me,,lol oh the Vegas life Ok Looking so forward to your reply soon, Thank You, Sincerely David de Haas — Preceding unsigned comment added by David de Haas (talk • contribs) 03:08, 19 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Recent revert at ANI

I wasn't trying to remove the discussion at all; rather, I was simply trying to move it over to WP:AN, since the discussion seemed to be in the wrong venue (block reviews should go to AN, not ANI, or so I am told).
