I must have been too close to the fireworks as my brain is fried. Would you please take a look at Terrance Dean (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). Mr. Dean himself (apparently) requested that I take a look at and remove some erroneous information from the article on him. The message he left on my talk page. Cheers and happy arbitrary time-point! Jim1138 (talk) 10:10, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- Please don't edit other people's posts. I've reverted your changes to Donner's post directly above but have kept this section as is. Mr rnddude (talk) 10:34, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks. I intended to copy/paste and modify Donner60's post, but evidently forgot the paste part... Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 22:50, 2 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Jim1138 - You could have him make an edit request on the article's talk page if he wants to avoid COI and have his edit reviewed first... especially if you're not 100% sure. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:40, 4 January 2017 (UTC)

Dear Oshwah:
I’m responding to your message about my edits to “Michael Eury” (me) being removed as they do not conform to Wikipedia policy.
I have grave concerns about the current “Michael Eury” Wikipedia entry, as it takes information out of context in a way that is professionally harmful to me.
Regarding my employment at DC Comics and Dark Horse Comics, it cites my reasons for leaving the companies without mentioning any of my accomplishments there.
Additionally, the entry is out of date, ignoring much of my work of the past decade.
I would like to share a draft of a revision with you and would appreciate your guidance on how to proceed. Thank you.

Hi Oshwah. Likelovewiki (talk • contribs • deleted contribs • nuke contribs • logs • edit filter log • block user • block log) is creating articles that seem very promotional in nature, including Tiger Pan, which has been recreated.

1676 1681 Russo Turkish War
You sent me warning me but this isn't fear. Because Ottoman Empire won this war. Ottoman Empire captured Russian territory South Ukraine and the Chigirin and this until to next 1686 1700 Russo Türkish War. Historiker123454 (talk) 12:00, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
- Historiker123454 - If that's the case, you need to discuss this on the article's talk page with the editors who have reverted your changes, and provide reliable sources to establish verifiability with your claims. Edit warring in place of this (proper dispute resolution) is not allowed and is disruptive to the project. I urge you to take my advice and spend time with reviewing Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and making sure that you understand them. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me them. I'll be happy to answer them and help you. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:04, 5 January 2017 (UTC)

Hello you removed a contribution of mine because of claims it wasn't cited. I think it would be more in the interest of community to spend the same energy used to remove contributions to add citations if they aren't there. Additionally, not every word on Wikipedia can be cited. I think it may further encourage people who spent much of their own time to edit if we added, rather than taking away.

Help me review an improperly deleted page
Hey, I'm reaching out to you to ask you to help me get an article restored that I believe was overzealously deleted. Harvey J is the article I speak of, I contributed a good deal of time and effort in this article. It was originally cited for having a lack of credible references, in which i added thereafter. Prior to deletion the article had over 100,000 page views. The subject has over a million followers on social media making the article a frequently read contribution to wikipedia. I included references to Billboard, Oxygen, Complex and Uproxx: some of the most reputable and commonly cited sources in the entertainment world. I ask you to please review and assist me in restoring this article. Thanks Hennygang (talk) 04:22, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
Assistance on essay
Hello again! Since you have written an essay, I figure that you would know something about it. I have created an essay on the subject of vandalism of low traffic articles, which is linked here. If you could help in expanding it, give me suggestions, or refer somebody else here that could help me, that would be great. Thanks! RileyBugzYell at me | Edits 20:10, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi RileyBugz! Sure, happy to help. Looking at your essay, it looks like you're writing about how continued vandalism of low-traffic articles needs a solution when it comes to being targeted and reverted. Personally, I don't see a reason to decline adding Pending Changes protection to an article if the vandalism is consistent and by multiple IPs, even if the vandalism isn't terribly "frequent". The fact is - if an article's latest edits have only been vandalism, and the article is edited infrequently with legitimate changes, pending changes protection would be the ideal (if not the perfect) solution to combat this. Have such requests been denied in the past? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:38, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- I haven't looked, but, from the sentence "Administrators may apply pending changes protection to pages that are subject to heavy and persistent vandalism," in WP:PEND, I assumed that this would be true. I guess the real problem is the fact that not many people see them anyways, so any real changes would take a good amount of time. Thanks though! RileyBugzYell at me | Edits 21:48, 12 January 2017 (UTC)
- Yeah you bet. I think that Pending Changes protection is fine for the exact situation you're referring to in your essay. If there are policy conflicts, they either need to change, or I'm breaking them.... or both :-). ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:52, 12 January 2017 (UTC)

How can I cite different page numbers of the same book on visual edit?
Hi Oshwah,
I'm working on creating an article for a class, and I'm having trouble creating footnotes/notes to show that I'm taking different quotes/contents from different pages of the same book. I have come across certain pages that talk about shortened footnotes, named references etc that make it easy to indicate different page numbers on source editing. However, I am using visual editing, which I am much more comfortable with and would like to keep using. Can you please tell me if there's an easy way how I can cite different page numbers of the same book on the visual editing platform?
The title of my article is "Ethiopian Student Movement" and it's in my sandbox.
Thanks!
I look forward to hearing from you soon! Tagst (talk) 21:46, 13 January 2017 (UTC)
- Tagst - Hi there! I apologize for taking so long to get back to you! I've been busy in real life, and had to take a small break to get some work-related projects all squared away. Ohh, good question! If you're using the visual editor, it should definitely let you add a book as a reference, but you may have to go back to the actual source code to modify the pages. I can show you how to do this. What pages need to be added or changed to, and which source? Do you have a link? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:02, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Usage of ECP
I have a question on the subject of ECP: could one use WP:IGNORE to protect a page without semi-protection? For example, if an article is getting significant disruption from both IPs and autoconfirmed users. This is theoretical. Thanks! RileyBugzYell at me | Edits 20:48, 16 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi RileyBugz - Yes. I've done it on more than one occasion, and I don't see why it would be inappropriate (or even an invocation of ignore all rules). If it's clear that the issue, disruption, or dispute on an article involves accounts that are confirmed and semi protection would clearly be ineffective, there's no point of actually applying it with the sole intention of saying, "Semi protection? Check. See? Didn't work Okay, now Extended Confirmed Protection". Let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them.

Filthy Frank revert
Hi Oshwah. I was going to revert that edit as well, but you beat me to it. Do you think a revdel is needed since that addition was pretty much the lyrics to the theme song for the The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air? -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:14, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Marchjuly! Thanks for patrolling for vandalism and for keeping an eye out! The more help we have with recent changes patrolling, the merrier! I don't believe that RD1 is needed or necessary in this case. I mean, sure, it is the lyrics to a song (which is definitely copyrighted), but I don't think rev del is necessary for lyrics. They're generally found in many locations and websites, and in the end... it's really just a transcription of what's on the song. I typically use RD1 for blatant issues such as to redact the inclusion of content that clearly copies word-for-word from reports, journals, notable copyrighted works, etc. However, your question was a good one. It made me stop and think about it for a second ;-). Thanks again for the message, and I hope you have a great rest of your day! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 07:33, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi again Oshwah. I'm wondering if you'd mind taking a look at Al-Ahbash and the stuff going on at the article's talk page. The article has been revdeled before and it looks like there's a fairly new editor trying to add OR to the article. The talk page discussion is starting to get a bit heated and both editors are probably going to keep going back and forth without much resolution unless someone steps in. Perhaps you as an admin could offer a possible solution that they might listen to since edit warring seems to have begun. Personally, I don't know anything about the subject, but the content being added to the article kinda feels like it doesn't belong. It also seems to be one of those topics that inevitably attracts some heat, but not a lot of page watchers. -- Marchjuly (talk) 09:39, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Marchjuly. I've reverted the changes made by Chaabano and warned the user for edit warring and violating Wikipedia's three-revert rule on Al-Ahbash. If this user makes further reversions to the article without coming to a consensus on the article's talk page first, let me know. He needs to discuss the changes he's making and come to a consensus with the community first if there are questions and issues with the content that is being added. Thanks for the heads up and for letting me know about the article! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:12, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Al-Ahbash Article
Hello Mr Oshwah, I tried doing some editing for an Article called Al-Ahbash, yet each time I do the editing the author keeps complaining to remove my editing. I am very much interested to know is Wikipedia neutral as they say ? because if you are not I will stop doing any editing. By examining the Article I found contradicting information where the author who claims to be a US citizen which does not really matter promotes certain group or groups over another. I added notes below his information listed about certain groups so readers could examine them and compare it to his editing. Moreover, where he stated Tariq Ramadan attacking one group which opposes what the author saying Muslim Brotherhood or another name Hizb Al-Ekhwan while skipping what the other groups are saying about Tariq Ramadan is a one sided article. Tariq Ramadan considers to be the grand son of Hasan Al Bana the founder of the Brotherhood Hizb Al-Ekhwan which promotes government's take over, killings and violence. So saying about one group "Al-Ahbash"that they are often seeks violence which has no proof of such claims because as I had searched Al-ahbash groups are the victims of [Hizb Al-Ekhwan] where a group affiliated with them had assassinated their leader [Nizar Halabi] and later had continued their assassination to many other leaders. They had not stopped at Al-Ahbash groups, Hizb Al-Ekhwan will attack any groups or person child, woman or man who opposes them. They are very much known in the world for their ideology. Articles are all over the internet, magazines and publications about these groups. Why the author mentioned in the article that a group had killed the leader of Al-Ahbash "gruesome execution" yet the killings of the leader of Al-Ahbash is not gruesome ? I could see this article is very much bios. I could go on and on, I have feelings, the author is a fanatic who will not stop of spreading his ideology and defending them .They are well known of killing innocent children, woman and men. Please have the author of the article shows proof that Al-Ahbash has done killings other than defending themselves . Some of these articles url are listed below. http://www.breitbart.com/national-security/2015/07/10/egypt-fights-back-as-muslim-brotherhood-escalates-terrorist-activity/ http://www.glennbeck.com/2012/12/10/you-don%E2%80%99t-say-muslim-brotherhood-has-torture-chambers/ https://www.globalmbwatch.com/2016/05/30/tariq-ramadan-at-it-again-global-muslim-brotherhood-leader-says-zionists-distorting-his-thought/ please read below from the above news to what they are saying about Tariq Ramadan !!! {{Tariq Ramadan is best described as an independent power center within the Global Muslim Brotherhood who has sufficient stature as the son of Said Ramadan and the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood to challenge positions taken by important Brotherhood leaders. His statements and writings have been extensively analyzed and he has been accused by critics of promoting anti-Semitism and fundamentalism, albeit by subtle means}} Killings of women and children Template:Http://www.cbsnews.com/news/st-marks-coptic-orthodox-cathedral-cairo-bombed-killing-dozens/ I could list thousands of articles about Template:The Brotherhood Hizb Al-Ekhwan but I think I have listed enough reasons. Thank you for your attention Chaabano (talk) 20:40, 17 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Chaabano - Okay, I'm going to start by telling you that I got only part-way through your message before I stopped reading. It quickly started going into details about thoughts and claims that I don't feel is relevant regarding the actual issue at-hand. We need to understand the root issue of the dispute, and cut out the unnecessary details. Claims and assumptions toward one another, which group attacked which group, this person was the father of this person and supports violence and killings, ideology, leaders... that's information that a completely uninvolved editor won't care about -- so, you came to the right place. :-)
- Now to the issue at hand: It appears that you and McKhan have been having a discussion on your talk page regarding content that you're adding to the Al-Ahbash article. The content you've added has not only been removed by McKhan, but other editors as well. The issues that these editors have expressed seem solid and uniform; their reversions cite problems such as the inclusion of original research, neutral point of view issues, and the lack of references with content that needs such. The content you've added, and the fact that it's been removed by multiple users and with the issues they're citing - show me that the content you've been adding is shifted towards a point-of-view that isn't neutral, and worded to include commentary and opinionated analysis. The reason I left a warning on your talk page here was due to the fact that you were engaging in edit warring, or repeatedly adding back the reverted content in a back-and-fourth manner and without discussing the dispute and coming to an agreement first. Continually modifying an article in order to add or remove content in a back-and-fourth manner against other editors like this - isn't allowed on Wikipedia, and can result in your account being temporarily blocked. You need to engage in proper dispute resolution practices and discuss the dispute at-hand on the artcle's talk page, and come to a consensus with the other editors involved. After this occurs, the edits that are agreed upon can then be made.
- Please do not continue to edit the article until you've discussed the issue and worked things out with the other editors first. If you have any questions regarding the Wikipedia policies and guidelines I've provided for you here, please let me know. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you. Thank you for messaging me with your concerns, and I wish you happy editing and peaceful resolution of the content dispute. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:20, 17 January 2017 (UTC)

Keith Gordon wikipedia page
Keith Gordon (baseball) Hey Oshwah, I believe you marked my constructive edits as vandalism Which is false because I know Keith on a personal level and the information I have placed in this document is factual. I placed this information here in order for inquires of his business to be able to see he numerous accolades further that the ones already in the document. Thanks -Zman9er (Zman9er (talk) 00:18, 18 January 2017 (UTC))
- Hi Zman9er, and thank you for leaving a message on my talk page with your concerns. I did not mark the edit you made here as vandalism; I reverted it because it clearly violates Wikipedia's policy on maintaining a neutral point of view with the article's content. Furthermore, adding content to an article based on "personal knowledge", "personal relationships", first-hand accounts, or using sources that you wrote and published yourself - constitutes original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Content that is added to any article must be attributable to a reliable source, especially if the article is a biography of a living person. You should also know that having a personal relationship with the article subject will constitute as a conflict of interest to the community (especially given the content that you added to the article). Editing or even participating in discussions on articles where you have a personal conflict of interest with is highly discouraged behavior, as it makes it impossible for you to adhere to a neutral viewpoint. You should expand and contribute to articles where you don't have a conflict of interest instead. Please let me know if you have any questions regarding the issue with your edit to the article, or the Wikipedia policies and guidelines that I've provided you here. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you with anything that you need. Thanks again for the message, and I appreciate your understanding. Cheers! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:25, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

- When you add content like this to an article, especially with the date you provided and the fact that the domain isn't registered anymore (which has a specific meaning - not just that the site isn't operational anymore), you need to cite a reference supporting this content. This is why I reverted your changes. Once you cite a source with the content you're adding, you'll be all set!

Pedantic correction
Today's pedantic correction is diffuse vs. defuse. Defusing a conflict is "removing its fuse", as from a bomb or something, so that it won't explode. Diffusing a conflict would be to spread it over a wide area, which I hope isn't your intention. :) EEng 17:13, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
- HAHAHAHA!!! I'm such an idiot! I can't believe I let myself use the wrong form of a word like that.... I'm usually really good about that kind of stuff.

- It gives me a warm inner glow to know that I've done my part today to reduce the world's stock of ignorance just that one little bit. (It's a very common confusion, actually. Perhaps people think the idea is to dispel the conflict, "clear the air" or something.) EEng 19:23, 18 January 2017 (UTC)

page lock
Hi Oshwah, see you had to full lock Donald Trump. Thanks for doing that, and if you've not run of blocks, perhaps you can block those who caused the need for the lock? I'm not judging mind, just a suggestion. SW3 5DL (talk) 02:54, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi SW3 5DL! Thanks for the message! Well, it's a little complicated. The reason it's "complicated" is due to the fact that the article is under discretionary sanctions. While this allows for uninvolved administrators to impose sanctions and appropriate blocks upon other editors over disruption made to the article, you can't actually do so until the editor has been notified that discretionary sanctions exist. In this case, the editors were not previously notified (which was something I did), or they were notified after they had engaged in problematic edits. Rest assured, I've done what I believed to be fair, and within the Wikipedia policies and guidelines that allow me to do so. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Again, thanks for the message. Cheers! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:05, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
- You're very thoughtful. I didn't mean to imply I thought you should have blocked people. Just making a joke at their expense. But I'm glad you've just explained that discretionary sanctions bit to me. It didn't occur to me that some editors might not be aware of what that means. I'm glad you've locked the page for now. The photo argument was becoming disruptive on the talk page, too. Thanks again. SW3 5DL (talk) 04:08, 19 January 2017 (UTC)

Yahya Jammeh has become the scene of constant edit-warring especially by IP users. Nobody has started a discussion about it on its talk page, so I did so myself.

less than neutral?
I believe that my addition on the article Education in China reflected a neutral standpoint on the issue of sexual education in china — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacksondfuller (talk • contribs) 04:22, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi Jacksondfuller! Welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for leaving me a message regarding your concerns over the content that I reverted. Your edit to Education in China (here) was reverted because it appeared to be worded in a manner that does not adhere to a neutral point of view. Stating that the education in China "is lacking in the realm of sexual education", as well as how the law in China regarding sexual education "led to a limited knowledge of contraceptives in Chinese youth who are trending in towards having more sex with more sexual partners" - injects opinionated commentary that isn't neutral. This is why I reverted the edit you made. Not to worry! You're a new editor here, and it's completely normal to make mistakes and not know every single Wikipedia policy and what kind of edits are problematic, or violate this policy or that policy.... it's nothing to worry about. I highly recommend that you review the guideline on neutral editing (the link I provided above), as it will provide you with additional help. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me and ask. I'll be more than happy to assist you with anything that you need. Again, I welcome you to Wikipedia, and I hope you have a great rest of your day! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:33, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

History of kurali
I am born and brought up in the city of Kurali in panjab India. I know some historical facts about my town which are not known to many others. If some one is alive with this knowledge they do not have access to computer so they can make the facts known. I wish to add these knowledge to wikipedis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ramesh Kalia (talk • contribs) 04:34, 20 January 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Hi Ramesh Kalia. The problem with the content you added was that it was not supported by a citation to a reliable source. Your own words were "This I am writing based on personal observations made about 58 years ago". This does not mean that what you've written is not true, but the problem is that it is based upon your own personal observations so there's no way for anyone reading the article to verify it. Wikipedia article content is only intended to reflect information that can be found in published reliable sources, and not the personal observations or opinions, etc. of individual editors. If you are able to find a reliable source, such as a major newspaper, magazine, academic journal, etc. which supports the information you want to add, then it might be OK include that information in the article; however, if you simply these are the facts and I personally know them to be true, then it really doesn't belong in the article.
- Finally, if you haven't already done so, I suggest you take the Wikipedia Adventure because it's a good way for new editors to learn more about how Wikipedia works. -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:23, 20 January 2017 (UTC)

Imtihan is not an adaptation of To sir With Love. You might want to visit its IMDB page to verify.

Hello again! I don't know what to do with this user. I don't want to give them a level 4 warning, as I see it as undue, and I would just like some help on what to do here. The user contacted me on my talk page, and I responded accordingly. Thanks, as always! RileyBugzYell at me | Edits 15:59, 21 January 2017 (UTC)
- Hi RileyBugz. It's interesting how the user's only edits appear to remove infoboxes and content from articles. The first time he did it and was warned about it, he left a message on Jim1138's talk page with this. But then with his next edit (albeit 15 days later), he goes and does it again here. This edit here seems to be in good faith, although it was in the wrong place and didn't seem to be necessary at all. His edits to his user talk page remove warnings that were left - something that he's allowed to do. I'd say leave well enough alone for now. The last edit he made to the mainspace seems to be in good faith, and the edits he made on his user talk space are allowed. If things continue, or if disruption starts up and you need help, let me know. Cheers! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 21:20, 23 January 2017 (UTC)

Mythbusters vandalism
Hi,
Further to your edit reversion on "Mythbusters", I've noticed a lot of vandalism edits to that page since January 23rd - they're coming from a variety of IP addresses from the same couple of ranges, all of which are located in Adelaide, South Australia. I'd take a punt and say it's the same person each time.
The IP address are as seen in the edit history - 118.210 and 121.45 are the most active.
Short of blocking those two IP ranges, I'm not sure what else can be done - any suggestions? Chris Keating (talk) 04:38, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Chris Keating - I've semi protected the page. This should stop the disruption. Please let me know if you see any more vandalism anywhere else. Cheers :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:41, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
Thanks!! Chris Keating (talk)

- Just Chilling - I'd say AGF if that's what they claim. If anything, WP:STRIPES can be invoked. If you want to unblock, go for it :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:02, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- I also left a comment on the UTRS ticket. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:04, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
I WAS civil . You guys are way way WAY too sensitive . I did not swear and was not rude at all in at least the last few edits and comments . You are full of shit .
What personal attack did I just make ? The one you were complaining about ? You won't give me an example because you DON"T have one .
It's only some huge personal attack if you guys just can't take being wrong about anything . It's ok to be wrong .
