edits to ferdinand marcos page

the ferdinand marcos page seems to be written from the point of view of a marcos loyalist. either that or someone who was not inside the philippines during that time. it mentions some things but omits others. if a kid reads it he will have no context and might end up with the wrong conclusions. many of the information given have a slant towards the marcos side without explaining why that happened or this happened. i suggest you have it reviewed by the university of the philippines professors via e mail or any other creditable institution in the philippines like the ateneo or lasalle colleges. even the reason why aquino came back is wrong. aquino did not have to come back. in the article it said the reason he came back was his tenure as professor was over. the aquino family is one of the wealthiest families in the philippines. he did not need to work to live in america. i suggest you look at the speech he gave before he left as to the reasons why he came back to the philippines. the article on marcos seems amateurish at best somewhat leaning on the side of the marcoses who have hired many internet experts for his run for the vice presidency.if you are looking for a court case that have been decided to verify the information written then you will not get any verification. you might as well write that he is a saint. many of the stories are already forgotten by the current generation who did not live through it. remember hitler and stalin, they were never prosecuted in any court. what we know of them comes from the stories told by those who lived during that time. from the eyewitness accounts of the horror the people lived through. are you allowing wikipedia to propagate biased information which does not explain the other side?Nixon your own president accomplished many things but he is still remembered today by many only for watergate. on the paragraph of marcos' death the article even says he left 90 percent of his estate to the filipino people and the cory aquino government refused. this is an unverified fact. laurel is the vice president who plotted to oust the gov. through a coup d etat. zobel is a golf buddy of marcos and one of the richest men in the philippines during the marcos era. if he was really giving it away the sons and the daughters would not be listed in the panama papers as owning huge wealth through various holding companies. many of the philippine people are stupid just like many in the states who elected trump. there are still many marcos loyalists most of them in the extreme north where he had his home town and in which he poured money during his presidency to develop. all they hear are the good things and never the bad. your article seems to be written by one from that area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.190.90.222 (talk) 01:22, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jordan Horowitz

Hi Oshwah,

I am trying to edit events regarding Jordan Horowitz and the Academy award incident. The original content was written with no neutrality, and tried to portray Jordan as the person who resolved the issue. Please read the cited source (4) for clarity. The current page states that Jordan rushed to grab the correct envelope from Warren Beatty, and this was proven to be completely false. Warren Beatty was provided with the wrong envelope to begin with with (do any web search and you can see). The wiki appears to blame Warren Beatty for the mistake.

Thank you,

With regards to the edit to Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Samoa-Apia

Hello Oshwah

I was just looking to make this link like I had seen with most other diocesan Wiki articles that had Wiki article links to their cathedrals

(e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Aga%C3%B1a and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Chalan_Kanoa and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Caroline_Islands and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Apostolic_Prefecture_of_the_Marshall_Islands and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Noum%C3%A9a and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Port-Vila and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Wallis_et_Futuna and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Archdiocese_of_Papeete and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Taiohae_o_Tefenuaenata and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Diocese_of_Samoa%E2%80%93Pago_Pago - all of which were linked before me),

and I was looking to dutifully follow suit with other diocesan webpages.

629 changed to 630

As I said, I made the change to make the article consistent with the page regarding the previous king, and also with itself. Ardashir III's page says he died in 630, not 629, and the article itself says Shahrbaraz was killed only 40 days after usurping the throne. From 27 April 629 to 9 June 630 is a lot more than 40 days.

If it's incorrect, that's fine, but both statements cannot be true. One or the other should be changed. If you disagree, I'd like to know what your definition of "constructive" is.165.127.8.254 (talk) 22:38, 1 March 2017 (UTC)Tony Harrison, not an expert, but a guy who can read.[reply]

Was I being scammed?

Hello. I know nothing about how Wikipedia works but I was contacted by someone who said they would help me create a Wikipedia page. I get a fair amount of publicity so didn't think much of it. I just saw that you blocked Tropical Animal..looks like he was the guy making it. I was just trying to figure out if he was scamming me. I never paid anything yet because it wasn't finished but I'm just curious. Thanks for any info.Jomac10126 (talk) 06:13, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) Hi Jomac10126. I'm not sure if anyone can say for sure whether you were being scammed. Although "paid editing" is not something which is expressly prohibited by Wikipedia, it's not really something really encouraged because it can quickly lead to more serious problems. All editors being paid to edit/create articles are required to formally declare such a thing on their user page as explained in Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. As long as a paid editor does this and is able to edit in accordance with Wikipedia's various policies and guidelines, they should be OK. Problems only happen when the editor-in-question fails to follow relevant Wikipedia policy and makes edits that draw attention to themselves. In serious cases, the account may be blocked to prevent any further disruption. At the same time, there seem to be a number of "paid editors" who have no problems complying with the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use and are able to contribute productively to improving the encyclopedia.
As to whether there is any point to hiring someone to write a Wikipedia article about you, I guess you can only answer that one for sure. Wikipedia is a collaborative editing project which does not require any special qualifications to participate. Anyone anywhere in the world can edit/create articles as long as they do so in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines. Articles, etc. are neither owned by those who create/edit them nor the subjects they are about, so article content can be be removed/revised just as quickly as it is added. When there's a dispute, editors are expected to try and resolve things through discussion and by establishing a consensus. Subjects of articles are expected to be Wikipedia notable for a stand-alone article to be written, and those which are not may be nominated/tagged for deletion at anytime by any editor. In other words, there is no 100% guarantee that any article which is created today will still be there tomorrow, next week or next year. If you feel you are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (see Wikipedia:Notability (people)), then try asking for assistance at Wikipedia:Requested articles.There are number of editors who simply like creating new articles, know how to properly do it, and are not in it to make money. Perhaps, one of them would be happy to help. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:01, 2 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Julian Quintart

Hello I am very surprised to see that you removed what I did write about Julian Quintart. I think that what I did write was neutral. I only related a few things that Julian did in 2016 and early 2017. I did link to article from some newspaper or from article on google. I did cite my sources. Can you tell me what was not neutral ?

Thank you for your answer.

Notre Dame High School, Glasgow - New website link

Hi Oshwah,

My name is Joe Kane, one of the Depute Head Teachers at Notre Dame High School in Glasgow. I tried to change the web address link for our school on the wikipedia page and received a message from you to say that it had not updated.

We recently moved to a new official website for the school: https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/gc/ndhs/

https://blogs.glowscotland.org.uk/gc/ndhs/

This can be verified by visiting the site or indeed the old site: http://www.notredamehigh.glasgow.sch.uk/

http://www.notredamehigh.glasgow.sch.uk/

We will shortly take the old site down completely, but as you can see the old site no longer includes content, only links to our new site. The new site is hosted on the Scottish Government Glow platform powered by RM Unify and makes use of Wordpress blogging to host sites. I am guessing that the new link may have flagged as it looks like a blog but it is an official site.

Is it possible to request that the wikipedia page be updated to only include the link to our new school site.

Kind Regards

Favor

Didn't want to log back onto IRC before I left for the night but can you do me a favor? Rev'del the first upload on File:Paul Johnson Lakes Sotheby's International Realty.jpg. Short story, they didn't want to release that one under a free license. See the file talk page for the long version. Thanks! --Majora (talk) 04:59, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • I read the long version but it's not clear to me. I don't see a difference, of course, between the images, but more importantly I think you're talking about deletion of the first two or three edits, not revdeletion. Drmies (talk) 05:03, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Drmies: After explaining to them what they would have to do to certify that they own the copyright and can release the image to us, and after explaining what a free license entails they did not want to release the first image for modification (which would have made it unacceptable). So I asked them to upload a new one in its place to preserve the file talk page explanation and history (in hindsight I could have just moved the file talk page to whatever new upload name they put it at but an admin action would have been required either way). Since they refused to allow a free license on the original upload it has to go. Delete, rev'del, whatever works. It can't be visible. --Majora (talk) 05:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
    • Oh, and I said rev'del since it would be the same principle as non-free revision removal which if I am thinking correctly is a rev'del. Not a delete as the file edit history is still there. --Majora (talk) 05:10, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Drmies - It looks fine to me. The first version of the file is deleted and the most recent one uploaded with no history. I think you're good; you didn't make any mistakes that I can see. Happy Friday! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:28, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

WP:WORCS Barnstar.

Hello Oshwah,

I decided to address to you as I noticed, that you made a contribution to the article Flag of Worcestershire. I used this symbol in the design of Worcestershire Barnstar, created for the WP:WORCS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Worcestershire When I learned, that such project exists, I became very interested, as I’m planning to drive to the Archaeological sites in Worcestershire, make plenty of photos around and then — start the article about Archaeological findings of Worcestershire. I think, that WP:WORCS is a good Project and deserves to have its own Barnstar, which also, probably, will serve as a momentum of positive energy, that will help to make this Project more active: it’s in need of it. If you will have a minute, please have a look at WikiProject Wikipedia Awards talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Wikipedia_Awards, and if you will see this idea, and the design (I tried my best) of WORCS Barnstar as a good one - give your support. All the best. Regards, Chris Oxford.Chris Oxford (talk) 18:15, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

supposedly my IP is blocked

HI, I was doing a search for an article and got a "message banner" telling me I had a message.

It says that I am blocked because of vandalism to two articles I'd never heard of and apparently the only article I did ever edit (was to fix vandalism) the IP for my fix says that that IP is also blocked. I am very confused as I don't recognize the other articles attached to the IP address I know I actually used. can you please help?

I am including both IP pages I referenced; the one I got the message banner for: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:172.56.38.141&redirect=no The one I know I actually used to correct the vandalism to Thomas Gibson's article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/165.214.12.71 Thank you for your time. 172.56.38.141 (talk) 21:25, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

EDIT: It also says I am blocked for making an account. 172.56.38.141 (talk) 21:41, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker)It appears you use a dynamic IP address. The warning on your talk page was just that: a warning. It appears that someone using your IP address had vandalized Wikipedia enough to warrant being blocked. Blocks of IP addresses are almost always short term. The message about not being able to create an account is somewhat misleading: the account it references is an internal, technical account used to track activity on the site, and what it means is that you can't edit. The best thing to do would be to actually go through the process of creating an account with a username and password. This will attribute any edits made while logged in to that account, instead of your IP address, and allow you to get around any blocks that may be applied to your IP address. You may reach me on my own talk page if you need any more help. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 21:53, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Reply: That is so strange... I am using my house (cellphone) phones hotspot! how can someone else use it who is not on my accepted user list or have access to my password? I thought I might actually have an account here but can't find email conformation I did and I never got a email when I tried to reset a password for my email address. Will it actually let me make an account after the most resent block has expired? 172.56.38.141 (talk) 22:07, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well, your IP is assigned by your Internet service provider. Check out Dynamic IP address for more info. Basically, it's quite common for ISPs to force their customers to share and re-use IP addresses, as it allows them to have more customers than IPs. As far as creating an account goes, your IP is not currently blocked (unless you're referring to a different IP than the one you're using), or you wouldn't be able to comment here. Even if you were blocked, that won't stop you from registering an account. We don't want to punish you just because that guy down the road from you who has the same ISP keeps vandalising the project. If you weren't getting the confirmation email then either the email is being flagged as spam by your mail provider (in which case, check your spam folder), it's being rejected by your mail server (in which case you're SOL until you make a new email address that uses a different server), or your may have typo'd the address. In my experience, it's usually the first, but the second is a close contender. The middle one is really (really) rare. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 23:02, 3 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Ahh okay, and my best guess as to why I did not get a password reset email is likely I had thought about getting an account but ended up deciding not to get one at the time and probably then just forgot about it! oops! Thank you very much for your help! 172.56.38.141 (talk) 00:50, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Insertion of Dylan T Rocks on Dylan Thomas Wikipedia page

Hello, My name is Julia and I don't understand why you think the details that I added are inappropriate for the Wikipedia Dylan Thomas page. I notice on a lot of similar pages that there are similar links to films/bands/etc. I believe that people interested in Dylan Thomas as we are (since I am Welsh born and bred) would be happy to hear that his name lives on in music.The band are passionate musicians and about Dylan Thomas otherwise why would we base a name on him.It's with the utmost respect that is shown for the poet and it's a way of educating young fans of the band exactly who Dylan Thomas was....in my view one of the most important and exciting poets in my life time.Dylan himself was full of Welsh passion rarely found in other countries although I realise that he didn't speak Welsh as I do not myself. Perhaps I should leave the fact out that we are now based in West Sussex because perhaps that is confusing.

I'd also be grateful if you would explain who you are and why you have authority to remove items added to Wikipedia. Excuse my naivety and blunt words but your help would be invaluable. Sent with kind regards, Julia

Hello again Oshwah, I feel it would be appropriate to add to the references section at the end of the insertion. I hope you're agreeable to this because I feel strongly that people should know this information since we have also notified the Laugharne Festival of our existence too.

Hi Cariad09! Sorry about that! I've had a busy day today. No worries though; It's Friday, who can complain? haha... Anyways, I re-read the content you added. I don't think this is an external links violation as I originally noted (my apologies for that). However, I don't think that the content you added refers to a notable band (the band does not have a Wikipedia article). Because of this, I don't think that the content belongs in the article, as it doesn't mention a legacy that's notable (see Wikipedia's guidelines on notability for information about this). If you have any questions, please let me know. I'll be happy to answer them.

Mariehsanders - I understand that you're new, but you cannot change the birthdate on an article of a biography of a living person without a reliable reference proving that this is the correct birth date (and then do so again after being asked not to). Uploading an image requires many things; most importantly, you have to know and understand Wikipedia's copyright policies and guidelines (especially regarding the use of images and files). I highly recommend that you read these documents and understand them thoroughly and get assistance with the process before attempting to upload any files and use them. Wikipedia takes copyright violations seriously; don't put yourself in a position where you might violate them. If you have any questions about these policies, please let me know.

Worldscape - No big deal; you should consider creating the article using [help page]. This will help you by creating the article in the draft space, where you can take the time you need to add references to the article and expand it for creation.

Dylan T Rocks

Hi Oshwah, Thank you for your reply and forgive any seemingly impatience on my behalf. I've read the notability details and I see where you're coming from. However,there was only one Dylan Thomas and is only one Dylan T Rocks. (not counting Bob Dylan who also took his name of course!)Even 64 years after his untimely death we wanted to name our band after him..That's an incredible feat. Bob Dylan was a different era and close to his lifespan so no surprise there really but 64 years later signifies his importance is still so relevant. I know people like his figures in Under Milk Wood.....His insight and writing is powerful and tear jerking! Don't you think it's important to know that the man still has such a place in today's society and that any celebration of his life is worthy of mention however small and insignificant it seems? Wikipedia is full of the stuff! But free speech and all that should prevail and I still believe it has a place on Wikipedia simply because he mustn't be forgotten!We're working hard to keep him alive and passion and lyrics are just poetry with music... Check this out....think you'll like it! The Atlantic the last rock star poet.

I guess I'm just a passionate Welsh girl who is a Dylan Thomas groupie!! Having visited his home,Laugharne,gravestone(or should I say a white wooden cross)Browns hotel,museum..etc! I have to say that he's got under my skin. Is there no compromise here? Let the people decide!Dylan broke the rules all the time..haha ....I wish I had known him. Hope you're a happier man now that you've survived the Friday night traffic. Look forward to your reply. Kind regards Julia Cariad09 (talk) 02:27, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry but I forgot this Oshwah.
"Article and list topics must be notable, or "worthy of notice". Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things such as fame, importance, or popularity" taken from the notable link you sent me. I know that we're worthy and important. Fame and popularity will happen or not as I'm sure Dylan thought himself. Thanks Julia Cariad09 (talk) 02:49, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Cariad09! Have you considered creating an article on the band if you feel that it meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines? You should also reviewed Wikipedia's notability guidelines specifically on musicians and bands? If you believe that the article subject is notable based on the guidelines I've given you, you should consider creating the article using [help page]. This will help you by creating the article in the draft space, where you can take the time you need to add references to the article and expand it for creation. When you're finished, you'll just need to have someone review it. If there are issues with the article, the reviewer will help you with explaining why, and what you need to do in order to resolve it. I think that this will be the best solution for you, as you'll be able to receive assistance throughout the creation process, and it'll be easier for you to ask for it. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them. Best of luck to you, and happy editing! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:54, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Apink members edit

Hi! This regarding my latest edit on the page Apink. I wanted to ask why is it not constructive? I did change the section as a list because it appears that each of the subject has their own Wikipedia articles. Thanks!

AlofVar - Uhhh... not sure how I managed to roll back that change you made. I definitely don't see this as disruptive; I've reverted the change I made to the article... I apologize for the mistake. Super weird... I'm certain I didn't do this by mistake thinking that your edit wasn't constructive... I'm not sure what happened. Either way, I restored your changes and I do apologize. If you need anything else, please let me know. I'll be happy to lend you a hand. Thanks for letting me know about this; I really do appreciate it. Happy Friday, dude! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:13, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Fairyland Park

I see that you restored the edit of an IP editor who has been editing the articles of various closed amusement parks to describe them as "abandoned". Most of the amusement parks that this editor has edited the articles of, including Fairyland Park, do not meet this criteria, as there are no remnants of the parks left on the property that they once occupied. If a property is being used for a new purpose, by new owners, it does not meet the definition of "abandoned". The property that Fairyland Park once occupied, is now occupied by Alphapointe (an organization serving the blind and visually impaired), and a police station. Its property is occupied, not abandoned. Not all former businesses, be they amusement parks or anything else, qualify as "abandoned", yet this editor has been going through the articles of just about every former amusement park describing them as abandoned.--Tdl1060 (talk) 05:18, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tdl1060! Thanks for the message! I saw the user's history and I do agree that the edits are without much thought and many are probably wrong in describing the park (and probably many others he changed) as "abandoned"... but it's not vandalism, which is what you warned the user for doing in response to that edit. I'd certainly endorse discussing your concerns with the user, and if this doesn't result in the change that is right, escalate the issue and possibly file a report at ANI. I wouldn't call this vandalism though; it's certainly good faith changes and by someone who has good intentions, but may be misguided and need to be educated. Hope you're having a good Friday. It comes but only once every seven days; enjoy it while it's here! ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 05:36, 4 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the reply. I actually used uw-generic-4 (general warning for template series missing level 4). I debated using a lower warning level for disruptive editing, but I chose the template that I did because of their long history of being warned and being blocked for similar edits. I agree, that their editing qualifies as disruptive editing more that it does vandalism, but they are repeatedly adding factually incorrect material to a slew of pages. I have not reverted all of their edits, as some of the parks that they have edited the pages of do happen to truly qualify as abandoned. I have since left a note on the editor's talk page, explaining my problem with their edits. I don't mind examining their edits, and reverting the ones that are factually incorrect, as the subjects of some of these articles are pretty interesting. However, that is no reason to allow a disruptive editor to continue, and I do still think the IP should be blocked for repeated disruptive editing after final warning. Happy Friday!

Dylan Thomas

Such a sad day! My eyes have been opened now that I realise that Wikipedia isn't what I thought...That one person(whoever that is Oshwah) has such power over the inclusion or deletion of valid information is astounding and I have lost respect for the whole concept. You are right of course not to include us in so many ways but also its disheartening to know that censorship is still rife in a world of so called freedom and free speech. In my 60 years of life on this planet I'm still constantly surprised and saddened by mans control over another man and the power to silence is huge.My cynical outlook is always being tested and found wanting.The decision makes me wonder what else is being kept from people.Nothing really changes Oshwah.(rant over because there's always a bigger picture!) I wish you luck too in an ever changing world that needs more compassion and openness. Thank you for your valuable advice but inclusion in Wikipedia is no longer attractive to me and I will be deleting my account. Kindest regards Julia
