Hi, I just wanted to notify you I declined deletion of File:Karanvir Bohra's Signature.png. Signatures do not necessarily generate copyright, see WP:SLP, so this is not clear enough of a case for speedy deletion. You may want to take to WP:FFD for discussion though.

@Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Thank you for being here for me. I've been given an off-wiki tongue lashing and been told I have to give Johanna the title of "Princess" and style of Her Grand Ducal Highness, neither of which she legally held, especially when you take into account the famously anti-Second Reich Hitler regime. Paul Benjamin Austin (talk) 11:01, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
- Well I think you're fighting the good fight Paul. Not that it should be a fight at all, but these monarchist-types are blinkered beyond recovery. They all want to live in the Middle Ages eh; I had one of them pissing over my TP the other day too. Anyway I personally suggests that whatever happens off-Wiki stays off wiki; they should sling it. Keep up the good work. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 11:25, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
I removed that on purpose. A sinebot of my signature isn't necessary for the edit that marked the discussion as resolved. I think you just reverted it by mistake (no big deal, it happens); I just wanted to give you a heads up and let you know :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 16:50, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Vandalism
Sorry for the things I've done in Colin Baker page. My purpose wasn't vandalism. I do translates from English to Turkish in trwiki, you can check this page. You can see my working pages like this in this my page. I've done nearly 45 translate and another ones are coming too. I was working on the Doctors' companions in the TV-series Doctor Who and I'm using my phone, not computer. Because of some reasons I don't know, my change in trwiki page suddenly became in enwiki page. I didn't want to do anything like vandalism. Have a nice day.

Comment
Every so often I see you post an inscrutable comment. What is this supposed to mean? HighInBC (was Chillum) 15:40, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- HighInBC ...just sometimes better than confrontation. In that particular case, I wondered how the editor would respond. I'm not pro extremes of religion myself (or, realistically, religion at all); but if you look at some of his Userboxes, you might see what I mean. Examples: "This user is totally anti islam," "This user thinks psychopaths only use religion as pretext in order to fight," and "This user is for Race purity but is not racist," all seem unnecessarilly provocative and not sitting easilly within the framework of assuming good faith. Thanks for message: inscrutable = under-used word of the week! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 15:50, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Your comment makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for explaining. HighInBC (was Chillum) 16:02, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Cheers! In your professional opinion do you think they're suitable? (Re. perhaps a future WP:UfD?) Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 16:04, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Your comment makes a lot more sense now. Thanks for explaining. HighInBC (was Chillum) 16:02, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- No I don't think they are suitable. A deletion discussion may be productive, though perhaps just asking them to take them down fist may be enough. HighInBC (was Chillum) 16:10, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- Right, will do. Thanks! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 16:12, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
- No I don't think they are suitable. A deletion discussion may be productive, though perhaps just asking them to take them down fist may be enough. HighInBC (was Chillum) 16:10, 21 September 2015 (UTC)
@HighInBC:, I attempted to raise the issue of the userboxes twice (here and here- both messages delated (as vandalism), a message banning me from his talk (so end of discussion, such as it was), and even an attempt to take me to AN/I (although only an attempt). So... how does one initiate an MfD for other editors' UBs? Can't find a straight forward guide to nominating a private userbox?
Cheers. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 13:15, 22 September 2015 (UTC)
- I don't think this is a new user. I suspect that ANI may just handle this as a behavioural problem rather than a content issue. HighInBC (was Chillum) 14:25, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Just wanted to say hi! Hope u are keeping well and like a bell.
Take a look at this poem!!!!!
The Owl and the Pussy-cat went to sea In a beautiful pea green boat, They took some honey, and plenty of money, Wrapped up in a five pound note. The Owl looked up to the stars above, And sang to a small guitar, 'O lovely Pussy! O Pussy my love, What a beautiful Pussy you are, You are, You are! What a beautiful Pussy you are!'
Pussy said to the Owl, 'You elegant fowl! How charmingly sweet you sing! O let us be married! too long we have tarried: But what shall we do for a ring?' They sailed away, for a year and a day, To the land where the Bong-tree grows And there in a wood a Piggy-wig stood With a ring at the end of his nose, His nose, His nose, With a ring at the end of his nose.
'Dear pig, are you willing to sell for one shilling Your ring?' Said the Piggy, 'I will.' So they took it away, and were married next day By the Turkey who lives on the hill. They dined on mince, and slices of quince, Which they ate with a runcible spoon; And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, They danced by the light of the moon, The moon, The moon, They danced by the light of the moon.

Hello (2). I have now found some material on my talk page that I think is some references that you were referring to, which I can see you have provided in good faith, but what you have sent relates to Old Buckenham which is a neighbouring parish, and aspects of the history of New Buckenham that are unrelated to the material I am trying to post. please don't be offended but could I ask if you have read the material I tried to post, in the revised and sourced/ referenced version?... are you an official editor - how does this work ? thanks Observer900 (talk) 15:07, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

- If you continue to make edits without providing reliable, secondary independant sources, then they will be continuously reverted. You have been told this now multiple times by different editors; and I for one am heartilly sick of having the same discussion over and over. Since you seem incapable of listening to or taking advice, I see no profit to either of us in continuing this converstaion. I consider this topic closed.

Trolling from User:Shivam8540
So you deleted the full edit without a second thought. Cool, you might be a real idiot.
I'll make changes more appropriately this time.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Shivam8540 (talk • contribs)
Need your advice
I am taking very seriously your warning but I need to know something. If a user post something unsourced, can I at least tag the unsourced section? What if the user claims that the edit is sourced but refuses to give any explanation in the Talk page. Is it edit-warring if I keep tagging? Silvio1973 (talk) 10:50, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- I understand your point. But I honestly have to say that if someone reported you both now, there would probably be a couple of 24-hour blocks handed out! The other editor should be careful too. Any admin going through that history- well, it just shows a couple of editors edit-warring every day, going away; eating; sleeping; waking up; then coming back to do the same thing all over again! Remember, too, that {{cn}} templates etc ''are'' also subject to 3RR. C'mon! This really needs sorting out mate.Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 11:02, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well, in this case let's take a rest. At the end of the day it is not worth it. --Silvio1973 (talk) 11:31, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- What happened to this, by the way? Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 11:41, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Nothing, the conduct of the user was acknowledged by an administrator as problematic but not enough for treatment at ANI. --Silvio1973 (talk) 11:45, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- There is still something I do not understand. We have a user (Tuvixer) who kept posting unsourced material and another one (Silvio1973) who cn tagged the unsourced material. Now you might say that both those users were edit-warring. Well, the point is that Tuvixer was questioned by two users [[2]] about the missing sourcing but did not give any explanation. Hence, can we really speak of edit warring? Don't you think that in this case it would be more appropriate to say that one user is pushing unsourced material refusing to explain why? Silvio1973 (talk) 19:32, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- If it was me, I'd consider the previous ANI report prematurely closed. If there is a pushing of an agenda. But maybe WP:NPOVN? That will draw other editors into the discussion; at the moment, it seems that anything will lead to an edit-war! Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 19:39, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- There is an RfC going on, let's not mix things. However please note this is a crazy situation. I don't know what to do. I cannot edit the lead because allegedly the object of the modification is not sufficiently developed in the body of the article, but if I try to touch the body of the article Tuvixer removes the material. This is the proof:[[3]] Please mind well that I supported my edit with many sources and I am ready to add more sources and material, if only I was given the possibility to touch the article. There is a clear issue of WP:OWN going on here. Silvio1973 (talk) 19:54, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Silvio, why don't you present the changes you want to make, to the article body, on the Talk page of the article, so everyone can see them and discuss them. It is fair that such changes can be discussed and, that all parties can in the end contribute to the article, not just you. I have suggested this many times before, but always when I do so you ignore my advice. It is really hard to work with a user who ignores what he does not like.
- Also on the ANI you can see that another user has accused you for disruptive editing, and he has stated that you do that often. Tnx --Tuvixer (talk) 20:33, 16 March 2016 (UTC)
- Well, the only disruptive user is you. The proof is that you follow me. I don't follow you. Silvio1973 (talk) 20:53, 16 March 2016 (UTC)

rollback
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e7/Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg/130px-Wikipedia_Rollbacker.svg.png)
Hi Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi. After reviewing your request for "rollbacker", I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:
- Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
- Rollback should be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
- Rollback should never be used to edit war.
- If abused, rollback rights can be revoked.
- Use common sense.
If you no longer want rollback, contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some more information on how to use rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback (even though you're not an admin). I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, but feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Thank you for helping to reduce vandalism. Happy editing! Katietalk 21:28, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
- Received / understood. Thanks, KrakatoaKatie. On the case. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 21:35, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
Rona Ambrose is a pro-life feminist
Hello Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi,
You have recently reverted an edit on Pro-life feminism claiming that the information was unsourced. There were 4 sources in the article alone, and several more on the talk page. Please undo your reversion as there were many sources afterall. Ontario Teacher BFA BEd (talk) 19:07, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- I appreciate the point, and the work you are doing. Unfortunately, however, it is not the number of sources per article that is relevant, but sources per assertion. The assertion you made, whilst possibly true, needs verification. May I point you to the essay, which is rather apposite at this juncture, WP:VNT- for Wikipedia, verifiabilty is more important than an abstract truth, or a belief in such a truth. Also, it is worth pointing out that the assessment of these sources as reliable rests not on individual editors, but on the consensus of the community of editors watching that page. Who doubtless have also seen the sources on the TP. Cheers. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 19:28, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
- You have recently claimed that the articles by The National Post, The Globe and Mail, and The Calgary Herald are "blogs". These are major Canadian newspapers, not blogs. Please undo your reversion. Ontario Teacher BFA BEd (talk) 14:58, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

In French yours would go imperiatrice that would be say Marie Antoinette she probably wasn't but you see my point but the -ix -ice usually distinguishes the male from female in Latin but not in English so that is where I get the toin coss in English. Like we have dominatrix I am not sure have not checked Dominatrice. There is a limit to what we do on English Wikipedia so I always find those ones a bit tough. I could do stacks of London Bus Routes because there is no doubt what a London Bus looks like but the language ones are how may I put it, they are tricky if you don't know the language. As soon as you know the language your eyes switch left and right wondering should it be or not? I have stacks of dictionaries and whatever that is not the point would people use that phrase. I dunno sometimes because my bedside TV is covered with porridge when someone says on BBC "they are planning ahead" as if you could plan somehow retrospectively and it all goes over the TV but then my bible is Modern English Usage which is a bit old fashioned.

I think you should do something with that user. He continues his disruptive editing even when the issue has been posted on the AN/I. Thanks.
p/s: I've tagged his OR instead of reverting his editing so you can see it more clearly. Dino nam (talk) 01:26, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
- Amazing trick: I don't even notice the introduction of the OR tag in the content of the article. It is how he goes around without being blocked even he is triggering a edit warring. Here is what our wolf in sheep's clothing intends to achieve with his OR tagging subterfuge. The tag will be dated. Other editors are constraint by a deadline. Two eventualities could happen: one, nobody care to comment on the issue; or two, editors can argue with him until they are blue in the face, he would say he is not convinced, and still maintains it is an OR and declares it should me removed according to Wikipedia policy. And he would remove it on his own authority, not on consensus. He then would just blank it or replace with his own version pertaining to this specific material.Tnguyen4321 (talk) 13:46, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 14:42, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

- Ah, I see, sorry. I don't know enough about it to say if it's OR or not; but why is the article so long? It's immensely (and probably unnecessarilly) detailed, with long paragraphs hanging off a single source. I reckon it should be about 25% of its current size. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 15:19, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- It's so long because it is a very important battle (the first big one for each side) in the eyes of both the American and the Viet Cong (North Vietnamese Communist) and controversial too. Yes, the OR notion is very difficult to grasp, until you have to wrestle with it.Tnguyen4321 (talk) 15:32, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- @Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Agree with your point. That whole section which I used to blank contains info that had been previously stated in other sections. In fact, it doesn't even talk about the things in its headline: there are about only one out of four or five sentences that talks about the air strike itself. Dino nam (talk) 16:18, 20 May 2016 (UTC)

Deliberately I am not looking into the WP:ANI#SimonTrew because that is for others to decide. If I get banned, all I can say in my defence is you have lost a good editor who speaks a lot of languages, translates, tidies, and so on. Yes, lately, I have been tidying up a lot of Neelix redirects and have been getting a lot of flak from various users who are not aware of the WP:G6 neelix concession. That is fine, I am a big man, but yes it does hurt when someone personally attacks you. I have no problem with someone disagreeing with me. This is no attempt to WP:CANVASS but for someone occasionally to send a wink to see what I am trying to do, which is to make Wikipedia better, it means a helluva lot to me.
I still not sure it shouldn't be imperatrice but I'll have to get my Shortbread Eating Primer to check that. Oh Shorter Latin Primer, if you rub out the oh well you get it. Si Trew (talk) 20:05, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- @SimonTrew: You're doing the dirty possibly dull work behind the scenes mate, which most people wouldn't do, and I think it's a hypocrisy for you to be some sort of Aunt Sally for others' personal opinions. Bon appetite with that Latin Shortbread! (Think Hadrian might have brought some back?!). Luck, Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 20:13, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- I think I am being put up as something of an Aunt Sally I hadn't thought of that analogy. I have done about a hundred Neelix ones today. Neelix created them in good faith and I will say that until people get it into their thick heads. Just many now, with the better search engine, are not necessary are harmful. They are not harmful because Neelix created them, that is kinda coincidental, they are harmful because they block people trying to find information. When I started in 2009 I think the search engine was frankly awful and so all these kinds of redirects were absolutely necessary. I am no WP:DELETIONIST but I think if we want to make it better get readers to where they are likely to want to go sometimes getting rid of redirects is the right way to do it. Not always. Sometimes we can create them to get them where we want to go. Not so much an Aunt Sally as a Stooge really, i think the anger against Neelix has suddenly somehow been transferred onto me. I'm a big man I can take it. But yes, it does hurt sometimes. In real life if someone tried that I would look them in the eyes and they would back off. Never had to resort to physical violence in my life, you look em in the eyes ask them what they said they back off. Never hit a man (or woman for that matter) in my life. In real life I am very good at calming aggression but on Wikipedia it is not so easy to do because I can't look em in the eyes. Si Trew (talk) 20:24, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- You know how well I forget which president Woodrow Wilson I am bound to get the wrong one said "Speak softly and carry a big stick". That's the way to do it. I wear size eleven steel toecap boots nicely polished every day. And speak very softly. I don't need to threaten anyone. I have innate resepect where I live because of what I do for the community around me. I kinda think the word "respect" has been forgotten from Wikipedia. That is the one word I would define my life by, "respect". Respect others, respect yourself, respect your neighbours, respect your firends,respect your family, don't care if you're black white jewish muslim hindustani or even Dutch but "respect" seems to have disappeared. We should make that more prominent. Si Trew (talk) 20:31, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- Spot on. Respect is more important than civilty; you can be civil without respecting someone, and it's obvious if you don't. i mean we know how easy it is to avoid NPA just by being polite. Which stinks, breaking the spirit if not the letter of the law. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 20:37, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

- This may amuse you this is just anecdotal. At some football match in the UK thirty years ago from the terraces they were all shouting "Bring on Wilson" and then someone shouted Woodrow Wilson and someone else Harold Wilson and Jocky Wilson and so on. So they all started calling for whatever Wilson they could think of. No idea who the substitute Wilson was, he was never brought on. Good if true. 21:12, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
- Brilliant :) was it Notts Forest? must've been bad if they were calling for Harold Wilson! I remember Basil Fawlty has a bit of a thing about him, great stuff :) "Bloody Wilson!!!'"
- I love that series. I think the best one is Communication Problems with I know the actress but can't think of her name not Joan Sims she acted that superbly. As Clive James notes in his Observer TV reviews it is just kinda exactly wrong. "He did not just go out to look at the window, he went out the door, back again, into the room, out of the room, then back up the ladder and then fell off". Clive James loved those.

"Trolling"
Hi, why'd you revert my edit to User talk:SimonTrew? It wasn't "Trolling" and you obviously didn't assume good faith. This user has been stalking Neelix's edits; I think that is a valid reason to give them a warning for harassment. Anarchyte (work | talk) 09:26, 23 May 2016 (UTC)
- I have not been "stalking" Neelix redirects. (How is that possible to stalk a list that is WP:G6 Neelix concession and a list is not a person? ""Walking" the list certainly but not stalking it. What does that mean?) I have been patiently and diligently going through the User:Anomie#Neelix list and keeping, listing at CSD, or listing at RfD as I see fit. I didn't even see what you posted User:Anarchyte but feel free to post it again. It's An administrative list created in a one off run by a bot. How can I possibly stalk that? Can it sue me?
- See the ANI for User:SimonTrew. I really get fed up explaining my actions over and over again. Take it there. If you look at my edit history even this morning (UTC+2) you will see I have actually kept and rcatted far more Neelix redirects than I have listed at RfD and CSD.
- I really do not understand this at all. The redirect silvery-leaved which was recently created (21 May) taken as WP:R3 by User:Iridescent nothing to do with the WP:G6 Neelix concession, was not actually created by Neelix, (or Neelix is back in which case he's more than welcome to edit anyway but not to create redirects, that is the entire extent of his "ban", he has essentially banished himself Wikipedia hasn't and he made thousands of thousands of good redirects when the search engine was not as good as it is now), as a non-admin I can't see the history of who created it but I imagine it was in good faith as indeed Neelix created redirects in good faith.
- I didn't list it at CSD, we had a couple of similar ones for silver trees which I was not entirely sure about and took them to RfD so that our botanic experts could check them out for sanity and they said they were fine and they are speedily withdrawn by me as keep earlier this morning and really essentially waiting for another editor to close them since as an involved party I can't really close them myself

or not, that would be unfair. What's this "stalking" nonsense? I think you must be mistaken.

I'd not say hi your conduct is really very bad. you have no right to delete something from someone elses user page. Moreover ur user page says u are an apprentice editor and ur talk page says u are a tutunum or veteran editor. This is very bad and very confusing. pls correvt it and display the correct badge of service awards And pls leave my user and talk page alone If u wanna reply use ping. i am not interested in opening ur page again --VarunFEB2003 (talk • contribs) 09:09, 10 June 2016 (UTC)
- You are a very new editor, and I'm afraid you do not know what bad conduct is. You should not pretend to be something you are not; even for a so-called joke, that is unacceptable in an online community. You repeatedly ignored more than one editor before eventually (partially) rectifying the issue. You pretended to be an administrator; an 'awesome-Wikipedian'; and to have your own day. None of these things are true, as you have only been here a few weeks. Those are things that are awarded by the community as a sign of trust and respect and they have to be earned. They cannot be just taken. And those barnstars: did you create those accounts as well? @VarunFEB2003:. Muffled Pocketed 09:18, 10 June 2016 (UTC)

You have no right to do anything to anybody elses wikipedia user page. It is not an Encyclopaedia article that you can make changes whenever u want.

- Dear VarunFEB2003, how good to hear from you again. Yes I know what you were told here; I have already told you what other editors might think if they realised you were deliberately misleading them (for fun? This is not really the place for that, as you might be realising). I note you have not explained what the accounts are that you awarded the barnstars to yourself in the name of are- why did you set them up? That's something else that is looked at with a jaundiced eye. Your attitude certainly seems to tend towards the aggressive; you may think it amusing to do so, but it will make you few friends. In fact, many people are already watching your account; and remember, everything you type, everything you remove, is always there in the history. So it is really better not to go around threatening people like you have. May I suggest that instead of concerning yourself with the arcane (such as bots, recognition, and awards), you demonstrate your willingness to contribute to the project; if people think you are not listening to them or only here for your own aggrandizement, then your career as a Wikipedia editor, such as it is, may end sooner than you would like.

Your GA nomination of Bonville–Courtenay feud
The article Bonville–Courtenay feud you nominated as a good article has failed ; see Talk:Bonville–Courtenay feud for reasons why the nomination failed.

If we work together, we can improve wikipedia. Keep wondering y u keep revising my edits when all I wanna do is sort the list alphabetically and add missing names. Makes it easier for people to find names and see which ones are missing. If u wanna point any mistakes I'm making, I'm open to suggestions and ways to improve 1960boy (talk) 11:49, 22 June 2016 (UTC) |
Will keep this here for VarunFEB2003: Aide-memoire.
== Some Advice RE: Your editing ==
I just thought I'd give you a little advice: Right now, it really feels like you do not understand what Wikipedia is about. You have just under 1,500 edits, and over 1,200 of them are to User or User Talk pages. You have a total of 63 149 edits to Talk and Mainspace pages combined, less than 10% of your edits. [9] This is an encyclopedia, not a social media site. Barnstars, awards, and gussying up your User Page are all minor distractions to the main one: The Encyclopedia.
There have been users blocked in the past due to not being here to improve the Encyclopedia. You should probably take note of the second bolded line under WP:!HERE. Between the fact that your contribution percentages are so far out of balance, the fact that you are trying to keep a non-free file without even trying to understand why you can not do that, and the fact that you keep asking everyone to sign your guestbook like we are on MySpace, I am afraid you will probably head toward a block due to disruption sooner rather than later, unless you change how you are doing things. 2602:306:C41D:E880:C957:2302:5BD5:3869 (talk) 23:55, 21 June 2016 (UTC)

I apologize for reapplying my edit without explanation--I didn't realize you'd undone my previous edit before I reapplied it (I thought I might have mixed that page up with another one). That seems to be the new format for the house section of the royalty infobox (see pages of people from more well-known houses such as the Houses of Hanover, Plantagenet, and Windsor), as the "House of" part is rather redundant. ~ Iamthecheese44 (talk) 07:03, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

I meant this. I see now Spacecowboy420 has removed all comments from the time after I came on his talk page. Fortuna has insulted me twice.

Copyright issues
Please note that the website in question now carries a no copyright wikipedia recommended message. Please do not revert the article. Thanks Racingmanager (talk) 17:28, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- @Racingmanager: No: you do not tell other editors what to do. You see, you have recently demonstrated phenomenally poor judgement over copyright, so we will let Diannaa (for example) be the arbitor of that. :Also: since the article "'now carries" that notice, are we to assume that you have some connection to the website? It seems coincidental to say the least that it suddenly decides to release all its material under CC license, at a time when you were about to be sanctioned for misusing it.
- Just a thought. Muffled Pocketed 17:45, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- There are other issues, which I have raised with Racingmanager but to which they did not respond. They relates to WP:SPS and the fact that the various PDFs hosted on the site in question do not carry citations. I'm afraid that this is going to get very messy - I suspect RM is very knowledgeable about the subject area but is going to fall foul of our sometimes almost self-defeating policies etc. I'm also still unhappy that they creating new stuff but not addressing the hundreds of existing problems, including that of purple prose. Frankly, I suspect most of what they're adding would be best left on their website and not transposed on Wikipedia. People would still be able to find it (well, until someone stops paying for the hosting etc). - Sitush (talk) 18:35, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- Thanks Sitush, so you think there is a connection between Racingmanager and that website? If then, it's an WP:NRS then I guess the information it supposedly sources should probably be nuked from orbit. Muffled Pocketed 18:42, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- See this. It is all very unfortunate. Each article needs to be reconstructed from the underlying books etc, assuming that Racingmanager is not also the author of any of those. It's a fairly niche area, I should imagine. - Sitush (talk) 19:27, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

- Eg: they created 1953 English Greyhound Derby in the last few hours but I just know that the Competition Report section is not all in the one cited source. I know that because they've previously said that such reports are compiled by them from several sources. - Sitush (talk) 18:39, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- I recommended that each individual PDF should carry the required license, not just the website main page carrying a notice "The text of this website ...". Also, Sitush has valid concerns about citing your own (unsourced) work and whether or not the material as a whole can be considered as a reliable source for this wiki. — Diannaa (talk) 18:44, 24 July 2016 (UTC) Adding: Failing that, what you need to do is make it clearer on the home page that all the PDF subpages are also licensed. Also, attribution needs to be added to the Wikipedia pages, specifying that the material is copied from the source website. Here is an example of how to do that. All this is moot if the material is deemed not to be a reliable source for this wiki. — Diannaa (talk) 18:56, 24 July 2016 (UTC)
- There are other issues, which I have raised with Racingmanager but to which they did not respond. They relates to WP:SPS and the fact that the various PDFs hosted on the site in question do not carry citations. I'm afraid that this is going to get very messy - I suspect RM is very knowledgeable about the subject area but is going to fall foul of our sometimes almost self-defeating policies etc. I'm also still unhappy that they creating new stuff but not addressing the hundreds of existing problems, including that of purple prose. Frankly, I suspect most of what they're adding would be best left on their website and not transposed on Wikipedia. People would still be able to find it (well, until someone stops paying for the hosting etc). - Sitush (talk) 18:35, 24 July 2016 (UTC)

Hey little Muffled. (Perhaps I should be writing to you c/o the pocket?)

Hi
You recently (just) undid my edit at the Indian Human rights page. Can you please tell me why you restored an outdated version of the Human rights report? I had merely copied the opening para from the report to the page and gave it in quotes as should be the norm. How can it be against a neutral point of view when the exact words of the organization have been quoted? TouristerMan (talk) 12:09, 2 August 2016 (UTC)

- User:Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi ty for that. Yes it seems India/Pakistan is a touchy feely topic here lol. An editor was literally harassing me on my talk page just because there was like half a line of extra text in an article. And instead of removing those 5 words he took it upon himself to just remove my entire contribution and then start hassling me. I wish wikipedia had some administrators (I have already been told that this is not a forum......). It should not be allowed for users to just start a campaign on another users page, they should use the page of the related article. Anyway, ty very much for the edit.

Hi,
It would be appreciated if you find something on the article, which as put it "makes little sense," instead of tagging it, or calling the whole nation for it, fix it yourself. Thank you, Mona778 (talk) 22:20, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Mona778 I'll bear that in mind. I'm not sure what you mean exactly. But I hope you'll let me know! :) Muffled Pocketed 22:36, 2 August 2016 (UTC)
- You know exactly what I meant, don't pretend you don't. True, we had a bad start, but that doesn't mean we'll remain that way forever. Of course, it 'll all depend on how we behave toward each other from now on. Bye. Mona778 (talk) 00:32, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Mona778. The tags are actually meant to help improve the encyclopaedia. Editors like me lookout for articles with tags and then help to improve them. So when Fortuna tagged it, it was in good faith. Sometimes, editors go through lots of articles and don't have time to fix each of them. So we just tag them at that time and either fix later or wait for someone to fix. --Lemongirl942 (talk) 01:25, 3 August 2016 (UTC)
- Hi Lemongirl942, would you please stay out of this and mind your own business. I don't think I have mentioned you anywhere in my post, which prompted you to make a comment here. By the way, I mean no disrespect, but I think your edits need to be tagged and copy edited as well, especially after those I saw you made to that article. Ah, I almost forgot! Do not ping me again, please. Thank you. Mona778 (talk) 12:08, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Since it's not your talk page, perhaps don't tell people to stay out (or off) of it. That is a courtesy reserved for the person to whom this talk page belongs (in this case Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi) and even they have limited rights to prevent editors coming here. That said, your request not to be pinged by the editor is acceptable, if unnecessary and not conducive to a co-operative environment. Mr rnddude (talk) 12:15, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
- Please read WP:CIVIL. Wikipedia is everyone's business, so telling me to stay out is not considered good for collaborative environment. And please point out which of my edits need copyediting and tagging. Your edits seriously needed copy editing. Everyone is willing to contribute, but you need to listen to others as well. When multiple people are telling you that your edits need copyediting, it would do better if you listen. I hope you will change your attitude.

Warnings
Dear User!
Really shocked to read your warning on my talk page regarding my additions on Inter_Services_Intelligence and their unfairly undoing by some users whose country was defamed for false allegations against ISI and their Govt. accepted that allegation were false. So this information needed to be included in article and that's what i did. But as a matter of fact, this thing was not digestible by Indians as they have a history of Blaming Pakistan for every incident. Ok, now you tell me would not it be unfair if anyone tries to conceal history which is not in his/her interests?? Wikipedia is a place to share accurate, verifiable and up to date information to those relying on Wikipedia. But revisions and warnings are not fair. Think about it.

The fact was ... that in his will, Humphrey Stafford left his household servants £1 each, his grooms 6s.8d each, his pages 3s.4d each, and £8 for masses for his soul? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Humphrey Stafford (died 1413). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Humphrey Stafford (died 1413)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000.

Apologies
Hello! I want to apologize for poaching the article Roly Bain. When I saw the conversation about him at Drmies's talk page, I somehow missed seeing that you had already started a draft. So I went ahead and created the article. I was unaware of your draft until User:Polentarion added some material to the article and cited your draft. I wish I could add you to the DYK as co-author, but I'm not sure if they'd buy it, since you do not appear as a contributor in the history. What do you think, shall I do it anyhow? --MelanieN (talk) 16:12, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Hey MelanieN, no worries. You did a good job, that's all that matters! I couldn't have done it so soon because we only got the info in the evening (my time), so logically you were much better placed time-wise to deal with it. I noticed Polentarion's edit and meant to point out the article was elsewhere, but totally forgot. On a lighter note- liked your 'Ta-da!' Very cockney

- I hear you. I have had, over the years, some tear-your-hair-out frustrating experiences at DYK that caused me to quit that project for months at a time. It seems to be much more stable now - I think the bot clerking has helped - but one never knows with that project. Anyhow I did add your name, but don't worry about it; if anything hits the fan, I will be the one that gets splattered. --MelanieN (talk) 17:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

- (edit conflict) Well, thanks for your cheerful and forgiving spirit. The DYK has been approved; not yet queued, but watch for it on the front page sometime soon. Bain was such a character, he inspired some marvelous hooks! --MelanieN (talk) 17:00, 9 September 2016 (UTC)

Modest proposal about poaching
I had translated Pius Walder. Georg Jennerwein still waits for an enWP article. The rather politically correct main article "poaching is still not covering the alpine version of the story. Would you like to adress that topic together with me? Polentarion Talk 19:04, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- Sorry Polentarion for the late reply- what did you mean, poaching? Muffled Pocketed 12:48, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Yes. I just started to bavarify poaching. Polentarion Talk 14:14, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Polentarion:, do you mean, as in translate into Bavarian? Muffled Pocketed 14:23, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
- Ah no, I wouldn't be able to write for the bavarian WP. I translated Akira_Kurosawa for pfl.wp and Muggeseggele for the Englisher and als.wp.
- The early version of poaching was quite US oriented, rather politically correct and did not mention the alpine aspects, so bavarizing has been about bavarian content ;) Polentarion Talk 14:39, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your comment on the AfD nomination of this article. You might be interested in the discussion going on in the "Neutrality" section of the talk page - I am not sure how to respond to the editor in question. Absolutelypuremilk (talk) 12:51, 10 September 2016 (UTC)
objections based on policy
re special:diff/738666683 "Ranze failed to make any policy-based objections, merely conjectural"
My objections were based on on the policy Wikipedia:Redirect/Deletion reasons.
Specifically WP:RKEEP (Reasons for not deleting) numbers 3 and 5 which I'll quote for you, as I assume based on your commentary you must have missed my citing policy the first time around during the redirect discussion:
- 3. They aid searches on certain terms.
- 5. Someone finds them useful. Hint: If someone says they find a redirect useful, they probably do. You might not find it useful—this is not because the other person is being untruthful, but because you browse Wikipedia in different ways.
I also referred to WP:RDEL (Reasons for not deleting) in pointing out that several people calling for deleting were citing reasons which did not conform to any of those 10 reasons.
Does this change your opinion or do you maintain that I did not make policy-based objections?
Do you recall specifically which objection I voiced which you interpret as being conjectural rather than policied? I would like to review them so if I erred I can apologize and avoid doing so in future argument. Ranze (talk) 02:32, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- Thank you for the opportunity to expand, Ranze; I think I'll just sit back and watch your CANING @ANI continue. Cheers! Muffled Pocketed
You have not addressed your claim that I did not make policy-based objections. Do you stand by that in spite of the evidence otherwise or recant it? I figure I should make one last ditch at WP:AGF toward you in spite of the mocking tone of this reply. Ranze (talk) 05:11, 11 September 2016 (UTC)
- I'm not sure I need to address this now. Muffled Pocketed 13:28, 11 September 2016 (UTC)

Since you use it how do you define where it needs to archive? Thanks! VarunFEB2003 13:13, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- @VarunFEB2003: This should work for you- everytime an archive is big enough, just change the number counter. More info (I'm not a tech), see WP:OCA, and specifically this perhaps?
{{archive box|search=yes|<center> [[/Archive 1|Archive 1]]. [[/Archive 2|Archive 2]] [[/Archive 3|Archive 3]].}} {{Archive basics |archive = User talk:VarunFEB2003/Archive %(counter)d |counter = 1 }}

Your speedy nomination
Done. And then.nn - mass delete is a great tool. I'm tired of these socks, they keep popping up. Doug Weller talk 15:53, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Doug Weller: thanks very much for the update; I was a little concerned when my original CSD was refuted- I questioned my judgement for a minute. On a lighter note, 'mass delete' sounds fun- a kind of Death Star for the sock rebellion?! Cheers, Muffled Pocketed 16:33, 14 September 2016 (UTC)
- It got a reaction from an IP sock who posted something weird on the bottom of my talk page. Yes, it's a really useful tool at times, saves a lot of work. Doug Weller talk 16:36, 14 September 2016 (UTC)

What does this mean? Are you referring to the edits on the article itself? Thank you for clarifying.Volunteer Marek (talk) 13:51, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

- The one on the right is dead now. I was suggesting that the edit-count per 'concerned editor' was rather anomolous... especialy in the context of one of those parties being accused of making too many edits in any one time.

Thanks for the wb
Thank you for the wb, I made legal threats but I hope that is sorted now... I have not had much time to reply because I said when unbanned that I would do some gnomework at uncontroversial things like PNT then headlong plunged into an article at PNT in Spanish about an obscure Spanish party, a one man band essentially (I didn't know this before I translated it) so was not as uncontroversial as I first thought. The discussion has been taken out of PNT by co-editors and now resides on its talk page, Talk:Unión de Todos.
I am not sure what you mean by existentialist comments, wasn't it Jean-Paul Sartre who said that we have to make ourselves again every day? But then he was a chain smoker and alcoholic, unlike me... well ok a bit like me except he spoke French better than me.
Since patently everyone should have exactly the same view of the world and what is wrong with it, I think I might also start my own one man band, do I have your vote? My manifesto is fairly simple
- People who drop litter on the street should be shot on sight
- People who drop chewing gum should be forced to lick it off the pavement, while I mercifully shoot them in the back of the head
- Anyone in a BBC vox pop interview who says "you know" as a filler more than
fourthreetimes in a sentence should be shot through my television, by some kind of new device that allows me to shoot them by remote control- People who do not know that "none" is singular should also be shot
- Announcers who say "here is the news where you live" where they don't know where I live should also be shot
- People who think they can speak Latin and can't as they don't have a Shortbread Eating Primer, er Shorter Latin Primer, should definitely be shot. Present company excepted, of course.
- Anybody who says "present company excepted" should be immediately shot.
- Anyone who says "I don't mean to be personal, but" is definitely shot. "I don't mean to be personal, but, would you mind putting your clothes back on? It looks like a penis, only smaller" or anything like that. Any words following "I don't mean to be personal, but" are guaranteed to be personal. These people are definitely to be shot.
- Anyone who ever interrupts me when I am speaking and am making a terse and cogent argument lasting no longer than 45 minutes.
- Doors that are locked for no reason will, by law, have a sign on them saying "this door is locked for no reason".
- Any kind of supermaket meal deal will be abolished, because they are a rip off anyway, and unless you are two or four you end up with half of it going to the cat or have to buy two and three of the eight goes to the cat.
- Cats will definitely be abolished.
- By law, things in the supermarket will be where I say they will be, and not tucked at the back for all the essentials so I have to trawl the whole store.
- By the Law, energy saving light bulbs are abolished. They do not save energy, that is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. What they do is save energy "wasted" as heat. Well if the temperature of my room is colder than I want it to be, a light bulb is as efficient as any other kind of heater.
- For a trial period of one year, it shall be allowed to smoke everywhere currently one cannot smoke, and banned to smoke everywhere one can currently smoke.
- Anyone who coughs when I walk down a busy street with a cigarette is immediately shot, when they have these awful polluting cars and buses and trucks whizzing past them coughing much more into their lungs than my little cancer stick.
- All private transport will be banned. Walk or bike or take public transport.
- Women who use their cars as some kind of portable wardrobe are definitely banned.
- Women's handbags are also banned as being the mathematical definition of a set: an infinite collection of objects, no two of which are alike.
- Women generally are banned, for no reason except I said so.
- All private transport will be banned. Walk or bike or take public transport.
- Anyone who coughs when I walk down a busy street with a cigarette is immediately shot, when they have these awful polluting cars and buses and trucks whizzing past them coughing much more into their lungs than my little cancer stick.
- Clothes shops will be forced to rearrange their, er, arrangements, so the men's stuff is at the front and the women's stuff is three flights of stairs up in a dingy back room. Harry_Gordon_Selfridge's tomb shall be immediately ransacked.
- Lillibulero to be reinstated as the hour mark on the BBC World Service.
- Also, the BBC's habit of saying "this hour". There is no such expression in English as "this hour". It used to be "oh eight hundred hours, Greenwich Mean Time" then Lilibullero.
- -*On BBC Radio 4 to reinstate the Radio 4 UK Theme at start of play each morning (it was, after all, written by an Austrian-German Jew refugee, Fritz Spiegl, so of course it is nationalistic but tell me a national anthem that is not nationalistic? As Orwell said, there would be no point in them if they were not nationalistic, and it is a far better melody than God Save The Queen, which is rather a dirge and nobody except me knows the words beyond the first couple of verses anyway. Damn them their politics! confound their knavish tricks! Best lines in the whole thing, and you never get to sing them. Plus we have Marshall Wade rushing in in the fourth verse to quell the Scots, well what could be better than that. Now I am all for the Queen being saved, and let's face it, if you want a saviour, God's the chap to do it, but it is a pretty terrible tune and pretty terrible words.)
- Mobile phones, cellular phones, "Handy"s in German, should have a cigarette lighter built into them. THis is not actually hard so I blame Nokia and Motorola and so on for not thinking of it. You only need a little piezo-electric lighter on the top of the thing running off the battery. Not really rocket science. Here is my Dragon's Den suggestion for the day.
Is that enough existentialism for one night? I hope so :)

I can't see any reason why you keep on disturbing the article Kottayam. Do you even know where is Kottayam. Well it is a city in Indian state of Kerala. You are simply keeping on reverting the article. You don't even know our culture. Our city Kottayam knows what it needs in it's article. But please stop deleting contents from it. Everything in it was planned and discussed among us Kottayamkar. It may seem as commercial promotion, political or vandalism to you foreigners. But please stop it.
