Question (Please ping me if you reply)

I have thoroughly reviewed your contributions, and your only block was a mistake. Would you like it if I nominated you at RFA? --Peter Sam Fan 15:04, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again, Peter SamFan! Thanks for your message and for your question; it's a pleasure to shake your hand again! I've discussed an RFA with a few other editors just recently, and I believe that the wise thing for me to do is wait until August or September 2016 before running again, since it will be about one year since my first RFA (I withdrew due to the opposition - lack of content creation, something I've well since resolved in my opinion). This will also give me some time to venture into other areas, as well as make some more content contributions. I feel like I'd have a decent chance of passing if I ran today, but I think that it's smart to wait. I think that it'll improve my chances if I do. If you're still down for a nomination (or being a co-nominator) a few months from now, I'll give you a ping when the time comes; I'd be happy to have you as one if you'd like. What do you think? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:27, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Okay. Thanks! Just be warned, I don't edit on Sundays, and usually Saturdays. Peter Sam Fan 15:28, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
No worries, Peter SamFan - There's no such thing as a deadline here ;-). And thanks again! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 15:31, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I'd like to encourage you to have another RfA, Oshwah but only when the time feels right. I don't think it's possible to be overprepared for an RfA and I think there are some unsuccessful RfAs that would have passed if the candidate hadn't rushed into the process too soon. I don't think that judgment applies to you but I've seen enough RfAs that could have gone either way except for a lack of experience in one or two areas of the project. I'm glad to hear that you are thinking about it and let me know if there is any way I could help. I don't think I'd be a good choice for nominator though and I'd be careful when selecting those people because some--not many but some--editors will vote based on the reputation of the nominator(s). Considering how contentious my own RfA was, I wouldn't want to bring any of that baggage to your RfA. Liz Read! Talk! 15:46, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Liz! It's good to see you again as well! I really appreciate your tips and your input. Not to worry; I'm thinking about running again in a few months. I originally didn't want to run before September, since it could be seen by others as a "mad dash for adminship". I agree with your input regarding the wise choosing of good and experienced nominators. I have nothing against those that nominated me on my first RFA. However, many have correctly said to me that the opening statement made from my nominator, "Oshwah may not be the most prolific content creator here on WP. Content creation should not be an important part of adminship..." definitely shot me in the foot before the RFA had really begun. As cliche and "political" as it may be, lining up good nominators that are trusted and liked by the community does make a huge difference. I'll be exercising much more hesitation and care this time (now that I've gone through an RFA and know what to look for and what's important).
I feel like my vandal patrolling and AIV record is good, as well as my CSD log, AFD stats and ACC stats. My content creation/expansion is good now (I'm pretty sure), and my ANI participation and communication with new users and editors (all over my talk page) seems good as well. I think that right now, it's just about waiting and being patient, as well as continuing to do what I've been doing (unless I'm missing a key area that I must be involved in)... Maybe you can think of an area? lol :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:37, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't looked over your RfA recently but from recent RfAs I'll add (and you probably know this already), in Q1, mention admin activities that you have some experience in. I know you do a lot of vandal fighting so it is logical to say that you would use admin tools in your efforts to eliminate vandalism. Some unsuccesful candidates for this question either a) list admin activities they have little experience in at the time of the RfA or b) list activities that don't require admin tools. The latter raises the question, "Then why do you need the bit if you're going to focus on content creation/dispute resolution/new page patrol/etc.?"
My only other comment is that AfD participation is always looked at because it demonstrates a familiarity with deletion policies and editors want to know that you'll use the deletion and block buttons responsibly. It's also a bellwether that reveals a candidate's knowledge of Wikipedia policies and guidelines that goes beyond just whether you voted "Delete" or "Keep". Basically, I think that most editors participating in an RfA are looking for four main qualities: evidence of solid, well-rounded editing experience, evidence of good judgment, the ability to discuss differences calmly with other editors and, if there have been any major errors or misconduct in your background, a) an acknowledgment from the candidate that there was a problem and b) credible assurances that this conduct is in the past and is no longer a concern. That's my general remarks but let me know when you get closer to the date and I'll look over your previous RfA. Happy editing! Liz Read! Talk! 16:56, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Will do. Thanks again, Liz :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:57, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Paul Ryan

Oshwah - How about you spend some time fixing issues where you reverted people's valid edits. I know you block a lot of vandalism, which certainly has value, but you do a poor job of addressing people's concerns when you revert people who aren't vandals. You agree my edit was not vandalism and that I have good points, you ask me to wait to get feedback from you and I see you have dozens and dozens of new vandalism reverts, while I have been waiting several days on feedback. Not particularly well-rounded and now I am starting to get annoyed. If you don't care about the encyclopedic content in question, how about you undo your revert and let me work out how to proceed with page editors who do care about this content? Lipsquid (talk) 18:08, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lipsquid - I responded to your message earlier regarding Paul Ryan a few days ago (I also see that you responded just a bit ago). I've read the relevant guidelines (words to watch) and found this section on contentious labels. You've heard my arguments in opposition, and I've heard your arguments in support - I'll leave that in your hands. You're more than welcome to re-instate the change that you wished to originally make to Paul Ryan. I've already explained my rationale and apologized for making you upset with the template left on your talk page. Continuing to impatiently nudge on and on with responses like this, which you made only a few hours ago - and then nudging again here stating that I don't fix issues and don't expand content... it doesn't help the project, nor does it help others to want to work with you. You're certainly entitled to your opinion, and I won't stop you from expressing it. All I ask is that you remember that there is no deadline on Wikipedia, and that keeping a cool head and remaining civil is a powerful skill that will get you much much further than becoming angry at others (especially if they've already expressed willingness to help you and treated your input and responses with respect). Nobody is perfect; assume good faith :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:37, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
You asked me to wait, I have been waiting for several days. If there is no deadline and we try to keep it cool, why did you revert my change within 2 mins without even having the courtesy to check with me in the first place. You are active on Wikipedia, my edit was obviously not vandalism. I am asking you to put down the revert button and help with some content, which you said you would help with, or undo your revert if you don't want to be involved with improving the content. I am not saying you have bad faith at all, what is unreasonable about my request that makes you think I feel you are acting in bad faith? I am just asking you to pick whether you are involved or not. If you are not involved, undo your revert and step aside. If you don't want to undo your revert, then you do have an opinion and you should focus on this content issue and let others revert vandalism for a bit. Your choice. Lipsquid (talk) 19:20, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Lipsquid - I believe that I have fairly responded and provided you with the input, discussion, responses, and policies in order for you to make a fair decision with the section header. I am not going to make any further changes to the article, nor am I not going to intervene or stop you from continuing on with your intended changes. It appears that we're going in circles now; I'm going to let you make the decision, make whatever appropriate change you feel is right, and continue onward with the article. I think that the earlier discussion we had was interesting, and I learned a lot from your arguments in support with the change (which is always a good thing). But I don't want to stand in your way or make further arguments about it. Given the time and discussion we've had, I don't think that the section header title is that big of a deal at this point - I have my own content expansion projects to complete as well ;-). My talk page is always open to you if you have additional questions or concerns :-). I know we initially got off on the wrong foot; my goal now is to make peace with you and be friends instead of enemies... if that's okay with you :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:37, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to step aside and you leave it up to me, which is certainly your right, why won't you revert your edit? Why would you want to keep the revert you made if you don't think it is a big deal. I think it is a pretty big deal that you reverted my edit as unconstructive, now that we have talked you are open to my decision and won't revert me again, but want your own revert to stand. Why should that be so, that is illogical? if you undo your own revert and walk away, we are done. If you won't undo your revert, I want to know why? I want to leave as friends too, I am not sure why something that seems straightforward is hard. Lipsquid (talk) 20:30, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Lipsquid - I went ahead and left a dummy edit to Paul Ryan (here) explaining the situation and that your edit was in good faith. This should allow you to proceed as normal with the article without any problems, and with an edit summary stored and on the record for backtracking and reviewing as necessary by others. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:40, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, have a good one Lipsquid (talk) 20:48, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Of course; you're very welcome. I'm happy that we were able to work something out, Lipsquid! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:53, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Tampere Saints

Hi!

You reverted my change in Tampere Saints, as you considered my edit as test. Edit was real. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.155.216.140 (talk) 15:42, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No worries; I was just confused about your edit here. You didn't leave a description in the edit summary, so I thought that you were perhaps making an editing test. In the future, if you describe each of your changes using the edit summary, other editors will know and understand what you're doing and why. It will avoid confusion (such as this). Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:04, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Huntsman: Winter's War Plot

"Hello. I think you should not post the whole story synopsis for the movie because it is going to spoil it for many people who are probably just looking at the page to find out about cast details and so on. Please do not ruin it for everyone. Your synopsis has spoiled it for many people. Twitter users have been posting about this problem as well. I hope you will wait until after the 22nd of April before posting it again. Thank you." 115.135.82.36 (talk) 16:14, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your removal of content is not allowed. Wikipedia is not censored, and removing content like this simply because you don't like it is not a valid reason for doing so. Continuing to remove content from articles, such as what you did to The Huntsman: Winter's War with these edits, will result in being blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you for understanding. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:20, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

bout the page ray Harmony

hi is gatbaba, a Ugandan anyway I want to reach on behave of the page Ray Harmony. so unfortunately I have written about it. and recently received some feedback from the team on wikipedia. mostly saw you too. on point it wasn't an aressment the way have written every notes on the articles. have did it with all my heart. thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Garbaba (talk • contribs) 19:15, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Garbaba, and thanks for leaving me a message. I understand how much time and effort goes into the creation of an article, and how frustrating it can be to watch it be tagged for speedy deletion or tagged with drive-by maintenance and other templates. Removing speedy deletion tags from articles you've created yourself, such as what you did with this edit, isn't the appropriate way to contest your deletion. To properly contest your deletion, you need to follow the directions on the speedy deletion template. Administrators will look and read your rationale and reason for keeping before making a decision to delete the article. If you want to try again, I suggest using the articles for creation process, as well as the article creation wizard. It will give you step-by-step instructions and assistance as you proceed with the article creation. I hope this response helps you with your next article. Good luck :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:23, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reversal to the article on Arnold Schwarzenegger

Hi, Oshwah, I think you just reverted an edit I made to the article on Arnold Schwarzenegger. Actually, since I know very little about Wikipedia editing, I'm not sure if it was you who reverted it or a bot (possibly owned by you). In any case, I'm surprised with the reason provided: Lack of reliable sources. I provided the most reliable source possible: The magazine itself.

Elendaíl (talk) 20:04, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Elendaíl! Thanks for leaving me a message. I saw your edit and was concerned that the sources you did provide didn't meet Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline, which is required when making changes to articles that are biographies of living people. The magazine source you provided is not verifiable, and the other source is simply a blog. Do you have other verifiable sources that you can provide that is secondary and reliable, such as a news article or published biography? We just need to be very careful when it comes to adding content to biographies of living people (especially if it could be seen or read as contentious or controversial), and make absolute sure that the references we provide are absolutely in-line with Wikipedia's policies. Again, I very much appreciate your message and that you took the time to discuss your concerns and the article. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:26, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean the magazine is not a verifiable source. The Wikipedia article that you linked explicitly states magazines as verifiable sources. Regarding the blog, it doesn't matter what the blog says. What does matter is that it contains several of the pictures that appeared in the publication. It doesn't get much more verifiable than that.
Elendaíl (talk) 22:59, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, Elendaíl - I agree that the magazine source you provided can be considered "reliable" (meaning that it is legitimate and not fake), but it is a primary source, since the magazine is being used as a reference for itself. Wikipedia's biographies of living people guidelines call for the use of secondary sources over primary sources. And since anyone can create a blog and post any picture they want and make claims, the blog is still not considered a reliable source and shouldn't be used. In order to add the content to the article without causing concern with other editors and Wikipedia's guidelines, I highly recommend that you locate secondary sources that meets the criteria and use those instead of the sources you have now. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you further. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:12, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
The magazine is not meant to be a primary source about the magazine. It's meant to be a secondary source about the posing for the photoshoot and the interview Arnold gave. Regarding the blog, not everybody can post any picture they want. I'd love to post a picture of myself dating Salma Hayek, but that's impossible because such picture doesn't exist (because I don't even know Salma Hayek, unfortunately).
Anyway, there you go, secondary sources (on the magazine) aplenty (there are thousands out there):

I hope this is enough to revert back to my edit.
Elendaíl - I'll go through each of your listed URLs and tell you what I think: The ebay auction is definitely not a reliable source. Let's just get that one out of the way. The image of the front cover, while good at showing "See? It's here!", it doesn't provide in-depth coverage. The best sources that I think you found that looks to meet all of the guidelines are the rotten.com biography and the book (The Village Proposal). The book is also considered secondary, as it was written by someone other than the article subject ;-). The rest that you provided don't cite their sources, or were not written and published and available for reading and verification. I think you did it! Use those two sources, and I think you're golden! Nicely done, man! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 01:26, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I might, actually. If you want to have a quick look, I could use some advice about this discussion. I'm trying to make a title change which is very clearly needed and I'm finding a lot of opposition that doesn't make much sense to me. I mean, if that's the kind of thing you offer help with, of course. Elendaíl (talk) 18:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A bastard child is an illegitimate child born out of wedlock (Modern Concise Oxford Dictionary of the English language)

Justin Welby, Archbishop of Canterbury, is the bastard child of the late Sir Anthony Montague Browne (1923–2013).

Please look up the word bastard child in any English language dictionary. It is correctly used. It is also correctly used in regards to the teachings of the Anglican Church, of which he is the head, as Archbishop of Canterbury.

This is constructive and relavant editing as ANY powerful and influential person who takes up the role of political/religious power to represent certain values and preach them to others..... should not be hypocrite himself, and actually believe in what he preaches.

Your edits here change the wording in the sentence from a description that is neutal and scientific to a description that adds a word that many would translate as implying a point of view that isn't. The words and description used in the sentence is fine as-is; your changes do not appear to improve upon it's neutrality, and hence isn't an improvement nor is it needed. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you follow the conversation, "Is this the 32.218 that I think it is?", on User_talk:32.218.45.217, you can see the reply, "Yes, it is", on User_talk:John_from_Idegon, has IP address 32.218.40.85, yet refers to "overwriting my talk page comments", a comment clearly made by 32.218.45.217, and the similarity in locale, Wisconsin, of articles edited by all three contributors. 82.30.110.20 (talk) 08:23, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A dynamic IP is not a sockpuppet. End of discussion. 32.218.46.71 (talk) 14:20, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I think he's trying to say 32 is a sock of mine. Lol. I find it quite curious that this fella is going on about somewhere we interacted previously without saying where, having been here a month. He's using American English and idiom, but working from an IP in England. Quite curious. John from Idegon (talk) 16:17, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that is interesting for sure... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:19, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Agree. "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark". 82.x is an editor worth watching. 32.218.46.71 (talk) 16:45, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why can dynamic IP's not be sockpuppets? You are now using a third dynamic IP. Oh , and I'd like to know where I used American English, or indeed an idiom, like say the Denmark comment. Not interesting enough for you to follow up I see Oshwah 82.30.110.20 (talk) 14:04, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Winterysteppe

Hey Oshwah, im actually User:Winterysteppe. I actually changed that due to personal conflict with some others. Clearly some users want to unilaterally witch hunt me so, I decided to do a fresh-start without notifying people of my new account. 2601:84:4601:D750:E5BD:D4A:855C:5710 (talk) 12:47, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

I wasn't sure if this was accidental, but your doppelganger, Oshwah1, appears to be using Huggle at the same time as you - I noticed on the list of active users when I logged on. Just bringing this to your attention in case it was accidentally done. --Ches (talk) (contribs) 14:40, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Chesnaught555! Thanks for the heads up! I think I left a Huggle instance running on my other computer. I think this is just Huggle's way of separating each "Oshwah" that's using it by just appending a numeric onto the end. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:48, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Chesnaught555 - I just closed the other instance I left running. Did that resolve what you're seeing? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:49, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes - but now Oshwah1 is active, and not Oshwah. --Ches (talk) (contribs) 14:51, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Chesnaught555 - Ah, the other instance I left running and just closed was the one I launched first. I just restarted the instance I'm running now. Did that resolve it? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:54, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
It did indeed! :-) --Ches (talk) (contribs) 14:55, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Boom. Like a boss. Thanks for the FYI - I guess we both learned something new about Huggle and how it handles multiple instances running on the same login. Good to know for the future, I guess ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 14:57, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since you properly deleted my anon edit to the SFBA portal, which forced me to do the edit properly, you then thanked me for my edit.

(talk page stalker) Here's the ultimate question that you've probably been asked plenty of times, but why don't you run an RfA? You'd really be a brilliant admin NottNott talk | contrib 18:09, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, NottNott! Good to see you again! Excellent question! I think I'm going to run for RfA, but I've decided to wait until about August or September. This way, about a year will have passed since my first RFA, which I withdrew due to opposition for lack of content creation - something I've since long resolved. Then, I won't potentially be seen as "running again too soon", or "making a mad dash for adminship" (or whatever it is others say). I guess I can say that I plan on running again for sure, but I feel like I'm inclined to wait if I want to have a probable chance of passing. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:17, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

edits on Chanmyay_Sayadaw

Hello Oshwah, my edits on the page where not just practice, I just checked some external links and saw that they where not linking to anything about Chanmyay Sayadaw. So I removed them or fixed them where possible. Perhaps I should have done all edits at once, sorry for that.

Hi, Cirt and Cahk! It's actually kind of funny that you mention RFA; someone asked about me running for RFA just a few minutes ago :-)! As of right now, I plan on running for RfA, but I've decided to wait until about August or September before doing so. This way, about a year will have passed since my first RFA, which I withdrew due to opposition for lack of content creation - something I've since long resolved. Then, I won't potentially be seen as "running again too soon", or "making a mad dash for adminship" (or whatever it is that other people say). As of right now, I do plan on running again. I just feel like I have to wait a few more months in order to have a probable chance of passing and eliminate any potential doubt that could be introduced. Waiting sucks, but that's the way things work sometimes. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 19:35, 9 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Presumably you're using a bot to revert edits?

Hey Oshwah,

You reverted my edit [1].

If you read my edit summary, and the context of the article, you will understand why this was a constructive edit. You could also go diving into what happened in that section of the article in the end of 2014 (just the last 3 months), if you really want to understand that I am fixing a very old problem with a sourced text without disrupting later changes.

did you pick up something someone put on my talk page and removed it? I never even saw it. Haven't seen this before. Jackhammer111 (talk) 02:34, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

You did an edit I don't understand. I'd appreciate and answer to my question. Jackhammer111 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 21:04, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jackhammer111! I sincerely apologize! I didn't realize that I never responded to your question here... I'm sorry about that! Looking at the diff you provided, the IP address was warned for making this edit to your user page, which I immediately reverted. I believe what happened was that the warning I left on the IP's talk page accidentally pinged you or added an alert stating that I mentioned you on the page (since the page he vandalized was your user page). The MediaWiki software, upon seeing a reference to your user page (along with a signature and non-minor edit), will alert you about this reference (since I technically did mention you - it was just a user page reference in a warning). You can safely ignore this mention, as the issue was already taken care of at the time. If you have any more questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to let me know. I'll be happy to assist you further. Again, I apologize for not realizing that I didn't reply to your message. I did not mean to ignore your message and it was not intentional. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:14, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much. It was something I hadn't seen before and it must have happened so fast I didn't even see the entry on my talk page. I just wanted to make certain the Vandal thing wasn't about me. I was pretty sure it wasn't but it was confusing and I wanted to make sure. Thanks for your kind and detailed reply. Jackhammer111 (talk) 00:27, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Jackhammer111 - Of course; you're very welcome. Again, I'm sorry for the delay responding to your concerns. As you can see, I get a lot of messages on my talk page. I do my best to try and respond to everyone, but (obviously, given this situation) I am prone to accidentally missing some messages once in awhile :-). Thanks for messaging me here again and for nudging me for a response. I wouldn't have noticed my stupidity otherwise ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:32, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Garagepunk66: Thankfully, it wasn't that the account was compromised; rather, the impersonator simply made an account with a very similar username (Oshwash, just one letter difference) and then copied-and-pasted warning to people's talkpages including the wiki-markup and links of the real Oshwah's signature.

Ninja Sex Party

Hello, may I ask why my modification on Ninja Sex Party was considered vandalism ? I turned the top section into a resume of the band's history and caracteristics instead of just a listing of various places they have performed in, clarified the difference between the band members and their on-screen/on-stage characters, added a band members section, also clarified that one of the albums in the "discography" section is actually a cover album and not a studio album. I do not understand why my modifications were reversed, let alone why I was sent a message clearly stating I was vandalizing the Ninja Sex Party article. Amiably --Hyliad (d), 02:75

Hi, NsfcsocialmediaSM! No worries! A few tips to help your edits be successful: First you'll want to cite a reliable source with your changes, and second you'll want to explain your changes using the edit summary and perform your updates within the same edits as the removal. This will help improve the article, as well as help other editors to understand what you're doing and why. If you do these things, you should be good to go. Feel free to message me with any questions. Happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:01, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No worries at all! On Wikipedia, encourage you to be bold and make mistakes! They can be easily undone by others. Your edit here just didn't include a reliable source, which is why I removed it. I see that you're making other updates to the article, so I made sure that your previous changes were also not reverted alongside this issue. Please feel free to message me with any questions or requests for help. I'll be happy to lend a hand! Happy editing! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 13:24, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Memphis, Michigan

World's highest address. I remember seeing entries in Guinness Book of World Records for this one. And even if it does not have that feat any longer, it is part of a continuous addressing numerical system for the Detroit Metropolitan Area, not just some random address picked out of thin air.Addresses south of this residence are just slightly lower and they continue southward for more than 38 miles. Entry should remain or modified with this additional disclosure. -Steve Urbaniak

Hi, Smurbaniak - No worries! You're encouraged to be bold here! Any mistakes can be easily undone. What you will need to do is locate and cite a reliable source with your changes.

Administrator MilborneOne is an airline expert and an administrator. He decided that if there is a child article, there shouldn't be duplication in the main article.

I put in a chart of the fleet and a summary of accidents. He took them out.

I discussed this plan in the talk page. I can sort of see the logic to this streamlining and am following the lead of that administrator. Thank you.

If you disagree, you may discuss it on the talk page and there should develop a consensus.

CNI College Removal of course study line

I am the SEO guy for CNI College, I have permission to reuse content all day long. Thanks a bunch for not erasing my work again. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ian.davis44 (talk • contribs) 17:24, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Ian.davis44. Sorry, but that's not how Wikipedia works. Your claims of being an SEO for the institution is not verifiable, and adding text or content that is copied straight from an external source is against Wikipedia's copyright policy, as well as Wikipedia's paraphrasing policy. Your personal involvement with the article subject also represents a conflict of interest. Editing articles where you have a conflict of interest is highly discouraged behavior, as it interferes with an editors ability to edit articles in a neutral point of view (another policy that Wikipedia requires). I highly recommend that you review these policies and guidelines before making further edits, as they will help you to understand how Wikipedia works and what edits require. Adding copyrighted content that is copied straight from other sources is a serious violation of Wikipedia policy and repeated violations will result in your account being blocked. Please be careful, review the guidelines I cited here, and let me know if you have any questions. Cheers, and thank you for understanding. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 17:35, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Declined wiki entry

Hello Oshwah,

Thanks for your message. I am just wondering if I should send a message to 333-blue in order for him to review my article again? I have posted a new edited page last week, but it is still not been reviewed yet.

Also I deleted the 'redirect' page because I am creating a new article for 'Jiang Jilian'. The previous 'redirect' will go to 'Ding Zilin', which is Jiang's mom.


I hope this is clear to you. Feel free to message if you have any questions.

Since this is a school project, I hope I can get this published as soon as possible. I am willing to do any changes based on your kindly comments.

Hi, Bronze2018 - I don't see a problem with it. The reason I mentioned your signature earlier here was just to let you know in case you weren't aware. It wasn't a violation of Wikipedia's signature guidelines by any means :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:03, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Making it look like I don't have a talk page is why I asked. Bronze2018 (talk) 18:06, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Bronze2018 - Oh, and it looks like the wikilink in the "(talk)" part of your signature is directing users to User talk:Bronze2018#top (which doesn't exist ;-)) instead of User talk:Bronze2018. To fix this, just modify your signature in your preferences panel and remove the "#top" part. Again, not a violation at all. I just figured I'd let you know so that you can fix it :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:08, 14 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Bronze2018 - Ohhhh, I see. You did that on purpose. Again, I don't see it as a violation of Wikipedia's signature policy, but generally confusing? Sure. But not a blatant violation.

wendy harmer wiki

Dear Oswah, The changes made to my Wikipedia page have been made to discredit my new role as an independent broadcaster with the Australian Brodacasting Corporation. In this role I am required to be politically impartial. The quotes chosen have been cherry picked from some 30 years of journalism and exclusively reference times when I have been critical of the current conservative government in Australia. They do not include references of when I have also been critical of left wing government. As such they are mischevious and designed to undermine my employment status within the ABC. I work as a comedian and many times my comments are made tongue in cheeks and so have been teken out of context. I have no idea why my 'political views' are relevant on my page. I would like this section removed from my page please. Many thanks, Wendy harmer 202.159.186.214 (talk) 00:38, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I left you a message on your user talk page just a bit ago. If you have issues with the article and if you are who you're claiming to be, then you need to contact the Wikipedia Volunteer Response Team for assistance. They have the proper training and tools necessary with verifying your identity and assisting you with your particular situation. Continuing to remove the content from the article will not resolve the situation - you must follow the link provided to resolve the issue. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the communication method that you need to refer to. Thank you :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks User:Oshwah. Yes, User:Wendygaiharmer, welcome to wikipedia. Material you add must include a citation to a reliable source (homepages of the subjects of articles etc are not sufficient, for obvious reasons). Wikipedia articles are not PR pieces. Harmer's comments on politics are a matter of very open public record, so I don't quite understand your objection to the material you deleted. I won't assume for a moment that you are the "real" Wendy Harmer, but I will insist that adhere to wikipedia policies about using verifiable and independent sources for content which you add.

I recommend that you search and locate a reliable source to cite with the changes you're trying to make.

Hi, Igrkilldrums! Yes, please do. Addition of content to Wikipedia simply because of personal knowledge of the person constitutes original research, which is not allowed. Citing sources that are reliable is absolutely needed, as it helps establish verifiability with the information you're adding - very important! Please let me know if you have any questions regarding any of Wikipedia's guidelines or policies. I'll be more than happy to answer them and make sure that you understand everything you need.

Just checking in...

G'day Oshwah...
Well I'm trying my best to be as neutral as possible and participate appropriately. I have had a hick-up here and there though I'll admit. Learning though I will state. Wasn't nice loosing my first article written though but I'll find some better source material and soldier on. I've been trying to help, constructively, to the ANI page with comments. I did go hard on one person, for a perceived Flippant and Condescending response, that I initially considered to be an attitude akin to Holocaust Deniers (should have looked at his user page first) only to find out they are most likely Jewish, so big lesson there...but have since apologised and we have clarified the issue.
Otherwise, was asked onto the ANI by a person who found the conflicts I had many months ago, which resulted in your mentorship, and have actually supported the editor in question as I couldn't find the proof of their vandalism.
Anyway just checking in and hope the West Coast is getting warmer as its now Autumn in Australia's East Coast and getting cooler.
Reagrds Nuro msg me 03:35, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Nuro Dragonfly! It's great to talk to you again! It sounds like you've been making mistakes and (most importantly) learning from them - that's a good thing! As much as it feels like a bummer to make mistakes, don't let the past get you down. From what you've said above, you did exactly the right things; you realized that you may have come off a bit harsh on another editor, you discussed the issues with him/her, apologized for the mistake, and exerted a good effort to make sure that you both walked away on good terms and in a peaceful mindset with one-another. I can tell you that, from my experience, it's not easy sometimes! Check out this conversation I recently had on my talk page (part 2). Here's another conversation on my talk page with an angry editor that really blew up. This one is another really good example. The best thing to do when initially communicating with someone about an issue is not just assume good faith, but also to assume no clue - meaning that you should assume that the edits are due to the user not yet understanding all of Wikipedia's guidelines and policies (instead of thinking that the edit was in bad faith). It's an essay I just recently ran into, but one I definitely agree with and have been keeping in mind for some time now. I make mistakes all the time; it's okay to feel bad (shoot, I sure do sometimes), but as long as you admit your mistakes, apologize, do your best to reconcile the situation, learn from it, and move on - you'll be completely fine.
Indeed the West Coast is getting warmer, but lately it's been windy and rainy. Hopefully the weather will clear up soon :-). It's great to hear from you again, and to see that you're still active on Wikipedia and contributing. It sounds like you're doing well; I'm really glad to see that :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:10, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Yes I been learning, and that's always a good thing. The incident in question was a rather heavy response from me, but as a person who has had to explain the history of war, to people who have a vested interest, or are just plainly ignorant of 'who did what to who and when' and then have some inane response, well it's taken it's toll over the years. But in this case, I jumped the gun. So embarrassment really. The Crimean War and the Boer War (I'm Australian and a New South Welsh-man) are were my interest in Modern Warfare start, and thus the Political Issues involved (colonialism etc). I get very 'narky' when having to deal with a (perceived) Denialist attitude, from any side of the argument, or ambiguous attitude, really, also. Military Conflict has been my hobby since I was a kid, but unfortunately Kleuske coped it from 'on high', and it was clear diagnosis of 'foot in mouth' disease on my part. Still onwards and upwards etc. Peace mate Nuro msg me 04:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Nuro Dragonfly - It's great that you have interests and passions towards article subjects and areas. Great articles and projects are created by editors with those same levels of passion in the areas and subjects that they care about. Obviously, you'll know from reading my user page that I'm naturally interested in mobile, computer, and software-related subjects - I've been into that kind of stuff my entire life. Coming from life experience, it's very easy to let those personal interests and passions drive your emotions - especially when somebody you're trying to work and collaborate with comes off as "ignorant" or disinterested in the subject, or disagrees with you and is holding you back from making (what you believe) is the correct decision. That's when you'll realize that having deep levels of passion is both a blessing and a curse; they can allow disagreements or uneasy discussions to go too far, and they can start driving your emotions and steer you away from making logical decisions and keeping the ultimate goal of building an encyclopedia as the top priority. There have been many fantastic Wikipedia editors and contributors over the years I've been here who are now banned from Wikipedia... simply because they let their passions take complete control of their emotions and logic, allowed discussions and disagreements to escalate into personal attacks and battleground drama, and let it get to the point where the community (or ArbCom) decided that banning them was the best option. Most editors do not intend for this to happen; letting your passions drive your emotions usually occurs without you even realizing it until it's too late. If you think about it, that's what passion really is... it's a part of who you are as a person. So, no surprise that it occasionally happens :-). Again, you're doing the right thing by acknowledging your mistakes and being so willing to learn from them; many editors intentionally choose not to do this - and a good group of those editors are now under topic bans and other editing restrictions because of it. Keep contributing, don't be afraid to make mistakes, and keep a cool head no matter what - that's a very powerful skill to develop and have. You know how discussions usually escalate by one person losing their cool, which causes the other person to do the same, back and fourth, etc? You'll be amazed when you see that the opposite is just as true, and how simply keeping a cool head 100% of the time will cause the other person to do the same. Just give it time; you'll get there, Nuro Dragonfly! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:54, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I also note that a lot of factual information I was able to supply from my OWN LIFE has been removed.

Hi, Wendygaiharmer. Thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns regarding the Wendy Harmer article. First and foremost, it appears that you have a conflict of interest with this article, as the article title matches your username. Editing or contributing to articles where you have a conflict of interest is highly discouraged behavior as it nearly eliminates your ability to edit the article in a neutral point of view (a required viewpoint on all articles on Wikipedia). It appears that you have a content dispute with Observoz. To properly address your concerns, you need to either message the user directly on his/her talk page or start a discussion on the article's talk page and let the user know about this discussion so that he/she can respond. You both need to come to a consensus in this discussion before making any additional changes or reversions to the content in question. Please know that reverting and changing the disputed content repeatedly and back-and-fourth instead of discussing the issues first can constitute edit warring, which is not allowed and can lead to being blocked from editing. Another guideline that you should review is Wikipedia's three-revert rule, which is an accepted norm or standard that's used to determine if any editors are engaging in edit warring (this is only a standard; you can still be blocked for edit warring even if you don't violate the three-revert rule). I highly encourage you to seek proper dispute resolution with this editor, communicate with him/her, and discuss the issues together. You should also know that Wikipedia relies on secondary reliable sources to support its content; using "I don't like it" in a dispute is not a valid argument. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding any of the Wikipedia policies that I've linked you to. I'll be happy to answer them. Be civil, discuss the issue with the editor, and assume good faith! Best of luck :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 06:17, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I most kindly thank you for your help and assistance. I really do appreciate your time and advises. I hope we will be in touch. Btw I am a new here so do not worry if some "strange" manipulations of mine are noticed...:)

Looking forward to hearing from you

Paul Wager / https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eleesa_Dadiani

"I am writing to you in urgency, regarding my recent article on Paul Wager. I received a message from you explaining that you have reverted it as you found it not constructive enough which is fair, however, because this is my first time writing a wikipedia article, I saved it prematurely, prior to it's final edit. I have also sent the written consent from Paul Wager granting permission to use his images. Could I ask you please to review the article at your earliest convenience as we're having Paul Wager's solo exhibition at my gallery, Dadiani Fine Art, on the 14th of April (in less than a week) and we really must have this information out there before the exhibition opens.

I hope I have managed to keep it within wikipedia standards. Please don't revert it to the previous version as it was incomplete and unedited. This one is both complete and edited. I also wanted to add a few more images to the article to liven it up a bit.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

best,"

Hi Eleesa Dadiani - The reversion and warning you're referring to was the one I left for this edit made by an IP address (I assume it was you, just accidentally logged out?) to your user page. This is normal, as other editors and IP addresses should generally not be making changes to your user space (without your permission or without a valid reason for doing so). This is why I reverted that edit. Other than that, nothing has been changed and you should be good to go. Just make sure that you're logged in when you edit your user space, as other editors may also do the same thing. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

"Thank you for your response Oshwah regarding https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eleesa_Dadiani

I have saved and edited the article only when logged in, however, I still cannot locate the article in google search. It suggests Paul Wagner which is a totally different article. Could you tell me why is this not available for the public read?" Eleesa Dadiani (talk) 17:37, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"The only problem I have detected to my own issue is that the URL does not have Paul Wager at the end as all article have their titles at the end of the URL, mine simple says my name as I was editing the article under my log ins, so instead of saying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Wager for example, my URL says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eleesa_Dadiani. How can I change this?

Regards,

Recent edits

Thank you for informing of those edits. I made my account earlier today, and I must have not logged out from my school's computer.

Sorry

Sorry, yeah, it was biased. It was in response to a previous change that had them listed as ballerinas — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:401:C403:FC00:F138:3DE5:991B:D705 (talk) 18:45, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

NY Methodist

Your edits seem to be intended solely to remove information about the hospital's legal issues over the years, without doing anything about the overall advertising nature of the article, which has been generated by Lynn Hill of Park Slope Brooklyn, VP of PR for NY Methodist. Please restore information about Oloumi, Oktay, Adderal scandal, etc, all of which were newsworthy and appeared in the major NYC papers and tabloids. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.34.1 (talk) 19:20, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually quite simple :-) -- you removed content from an article without explaining why using the edit summary, so I reverted it and let you know. If you use the edit summary to describe your changes, what you're doing, any why -- it'll help other editors to understand what you're doing. That's pretty much it. :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:40, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Edits from Chimdi1125

I see that you reverted edits from the user Chimdi1125 I'm writing to you because there are edits to another page -- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dean_Hachamovitch -- that he appears to have done that look like vandalism Specifically: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Dean_Hachamovitch&diff=714616860&oldid=701076914

I don't know much about wikipedia edits, so I'm writing to you.

thanks in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.216.8.85 (talk) 21:48, 15 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

New changes to Chambersburg Pennsylvania

I would like to tell you, I am part of and a translator for the sister city of Chambersburg and Getemba, and found no online resources. This is all in a book in print. This is also coming from a member. — Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinMaxwell123 (talk • contribs) 00:37, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

University of Wisconsin–River Falls

Are you sure you want to delete ALL that content? I was thinking of restoring the History section because without the content you removed there are significant gaps in the tale of the various incarnations of the school. I realize that it's unsourced, so I'd add a tag when restoring. What do you think? 32.218.43.132 (talk) 00:57, 16 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
