Hey, I am getting in trouble for vandalising

Which I guess I am doing, but it is to do with a wiki page that one of my friends made about himself (link to the page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Matthew_Pearson) So I am just having a bit of fun with the wanker. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:20FF:B300:C4B0:222C:C1D2:DA65 (talk) 21:11, 22 May 2017‎ (UTC)[reply]

Edits in astra

Hi editor,

I have come across the editwar in page 'astra' regarding the description of Sudarshan chakra. A couple of editors are pushing a false information without any credible source-that the weapon can be commandeered by Shiva. They are citing youtube sources. I don't have the policy know-how to deter this. Please address this vandalism.Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.201.109.61 (talk) 19:58, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

'astra'

Thank you user bakilas for your intervention in case of article 'astra'. Much appreciated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.248.178.78 (talk) 22:36, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Monopoly Talk Page

Excuse me for deleting the previous discussion, I meant only to add to it in a positive way, and if you were to read it, it explains everything I meant to say; so could you add it to the end of discussion? I hope it's not gone for good; I put a lot of thought into it. It was about house rules, about 30 lines. Thanks if you can help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:6000:a340:ae00:a0cc:fe85:987c:48c (talk) 20:47, 2 June 2017‎ (UTC)[reply]

NEJ

Hi, You recently reverted my page to the starting point. I'd Love to know why. I am trying to set up a biography for this journalist and I thought I was following all the rules? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dragonslyer165 (talk • contribs) 11:56, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dragonslyer165 (talk · contribs), you can not create a new article by overwriting an existing article, as you have been trying to do with Nej. If you want to create an article for the journalist, I suggest creating a draft and work on it there. I can see that you have attempted to create an article for Nicole Ellan James before but it was deleted for being too much of an advertisement, I suggest you read up on wikipedia article creation, notability and spam. I hope this helps. Bakilas (talk) 12:03, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Edit War Warning

I totally understand. But Bones Jones keeps on reverting my edits which was just to simplify the page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gun Lover (talk • contribs)

Gun Lover (talk · contribs), the best way to handle this is to discuss it on the article's talk page, not revert back. If this does not work there are other avenues you can look into, which are explained on the message I left on your talk page. Bakilas (talk) 07:01, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Well as you can see, Bare Bones reverted it back. Just simply compare my edits and his and see what you think.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gun Lover (talk • contribs)

The issue is not so much the content of the edits, but the edit warring. I have also warned Bones Jones (talk · contribs) about the edit warring. I strongly suggest that instead of reverting each other's edits you both discuss it on the talk page. It seems that you both are trying in your own way to improve Wikipedia and I would hate to see either of you get blocked from editing over this.Bakilas (talk) 07:12, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, will do...— Preceding unsigned comment added by Gun Lover (talk • contribs)

If you are unable to come to an agreement, you can always seek dispute resolution. Also, please remember to sign your comments by placing 4 tildes (~) at the end of your comment.Bakilas (talk) 07:29, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rasd000

Hey I appreciate you for leaving message on my talk page. But all I'm trying to do is to remove my own edit and I am not getting how somebody else's edit are removed. I would greatly appreciate you if you could help me in this. I want my comment to appear only once and they are appearing several times. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasd000 (talk • contribs) 08:10, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment you don't appear to have any comments on the page, both times you posted you have added a new comment and overwritten existing comments. What comment (that is yours) are you trying to remove? Bakilas (talk) 08:33, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mario O.M.G Gully

Hello. I don't want to cause a conflict of interest. But much of the information in this page "O.M.G" my name and info is either outdated or wrong. I get people asking about it and I took,it apon myself to fix it. Example..it said I was born in "Orlando Fl" That is wrong and the other stuff I would like to fix is still there. I can prove this is me. Please let me edit my,information and bring it up to date.

Thank you.

O.M.G the artist. Omgtheartist (talk) 10:33, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Omgtheartist: I understand that you want accurate information, in the future the best approach would be to request the edit, that way an editor has the chance to make sure that it presents a neutral point of view. If you like I can disclose that you may have a conflict of interest on the Mario Gully talk page, or you are welcome to do so yourself. Bakilas (talk) 10:42, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Garoto

Garoto is the brand that makes Serenata de Amor chocolates ¿does that not count as main page?. In addition, I perceive that criterion as very lax though practic, you should request for sources not for main pages. Special:Contributions/167.56.143.218|167.56.143.218]] (talk) 11:59, 15 June 2017 (UTC) aka --Neurorebel (talk) 12:01, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Neurorebel: I am just operating from the selection criteria as agreed on the talk page, if you want to open it up to candies which are made by a brand which has its own wikipedia page that is something best discussed on the talk page first. Bakilas (talk) 12:33, 15 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please answer in my talk page? However Garoto is the name of the assorted chocolates, they stay.

Few days ago I drawed a definition for candy, unhopefully i forgot it.

That list should be excised in two--Neurorebel (talk) 04:05, 20 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Candies

May be it is being our common intrest these days. I invite you to discuss in the talk page of the article, and specially here.--Neurorebel (talk) 00:35, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

List of deaths in rock and roll

You refer in one of your edit summaries to the "requirements set on talk page" for inclusion on the list. Despite several attempts, no such requirements or criteria for inclusion have ever been agreed. Many have been suggested, but have not led to any agreement. If you'd like to reopen the discussion, please feel free to do so. Ghmyrtle (talk) 07:51, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Ghmyrtle:, my apologies. I must have misread the talk page. I will attempt to reopen the discussion. Thank you for taking the time to notify me. Bakilas (talk) 07:54, 6 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Edits

Hello, I believe there is a mistake. The source isn't libel or "unreputable". The source was confirmed by the living person's father, whom I have spoken with personally. He has also came to edit the Wikipedia page himself. I hope you'll reconsider the source.

Akirakiraa (talk) 10:29, 21 July 2017 (UTC)Akirakiraa[reply]

@Akirakiraa: I would suggest reading more about sources for biographies of living people. As I have stated in the edit summaries Reddit and other online forums are not reliable sources in this instance. Bakilas (talk) 10:41, 21 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Asking for help from a wikiveteran

Hi. I noticed not long ago you fixed up some of my formating on the page for SharkLinux. (Thank you btw) It has since been marked for deletion but not being the creator Im not sure what Im able to in regards to this. While the orig creator only left a couple sentances, I spent a good deal of time gathing all info I could find and now I think im more to blame for this. I was using a wiki page for another popular distro (solaris) as a guidline so im a bit hesitant to assume I know exactly where the issue lays. Is it possible I can ask you to have a look at it and perhaps make any changes youd think to be required? Id hate to see my work go to waste. Appreciate any help you can offer.

--Marpet98 (talk) 18:40, 26 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Marpet98: I can see that you have removed the speedy delete tag (which you are allowed to do since you are not the article creator) and attempted to remove anything you think could be interpreted as bias opinion, so I would say you are on the right path. I would suggest reading through this page to get a better idea of what Wikipedia is trying to avoid. I will try to take another look at the page tonight and see if there is anything I can do to improve it. Bakilas (talk) 04:54, 27 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notable entries for pages about names

Hi, thanks for removing some non-notable entries from lists.

However, I think you went too far at Nate (name), removing two fictional characters where the name of the fictional work included the character's name, Nate. IMHO this makes it a sufficiently notable entry to be kept on a page about the name, even if there is no separate article or redirect about the eponymous character themselves.

Hope this helps, – Fayenatic London 21:10, 9 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Adamir Jerkovic

Hello Bakilas, Could you please undo Your revisions on page Adamir Jerkovic. I deleted the article by accident. I thought i was deleting the one from my sandbox. Thank you kindly. Momanovic (talk) 10:55, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Bakilas, I undid the deletion myself. I apologize for any Inconvenience. Momanovic (talk) 11:02, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Momanovic I did think that was a lot of good work to just throw away. Keep up the good work. Bakilas (talk) 11:26, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

For All I am

Hi,

Sorry for trying to claim ownership on this. I spent TONS of hours writing this article in 2016? and was shocked to hear it was published and that people have changed it. I apologize for trying to claim ownership just trying to keep the truth in line as I know this band personally.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymouschild1 (talk • contribs) 07:12, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Anonymouschild1 I understand that you have put a lot of work into the article, however leaving messages asking people to email you before making any edits is not how Wikipedia works. By creating the article you put it out there for any editor to make changes and try to improve. I have left a message on your talk page about editing pages for people/bands you know in person. I hope this helps. Bakilas (talk) 07:15, 17 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Amy Helm

Hi, I was wondering why you reverted the Amy Helm musician page back to the old content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adameats (talk • contribs) 05:46, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Adameats, I made the reverts because the change lacked any references. Wikipedia asks that information have reliable sources, especially when in relation to biographies of living people. Bakilas (talk) 05:58, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Inappropriate links on Wikipedia

Hi, I fail to see how linking to another wikipedia page is inappropriate. To me - up until now only a user and a supporter of Wikipedia - it make sense to provide as much cross-referencing as possible. Is linking to Wikipedia DE and Wikipedia FR considered inappropriate by Wikipedia? The first time around I linked to commercial sites, apparently this was wrong. But Wikipedia pages? All the latest links you removed were links to Wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OlgaApostolova (talk • contribs) 10:37, 26 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My apologies OlgaApostolova I missed that the latest edit was linking to foreign language Wikipedia pages and I have reverted back to your edit. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Bakilas (talk) 04:38, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contest this speedy deletion

Hi, I am trying to understand the content details.

I know the details is available in another website and that is why i presented it in a more considerable/readable way (tabled). IS that a problem? now i am been blocked from editing the contents? What should i do now?

should i not contribute to wikipedia.. I want to truely contribute here,, if any wrong in my way. i am ready to correct it. pls advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thennarasugr (talk • contribs) 00:15, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The issue Thennarasugr is that the information provided was copied from another website, the fact that you then changed how it was presented doesn't change the issue that you copied it from another website. Bakilas (talk) 04:42, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay thanks! understood. Bakilas — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thennarasugr (talk • contribs) 16:42, 29 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What are you doing?

Hello, I noticed that recently you'd placed a template of living people on the top of an article about a dead person. Why don't you read contents before you add templates? Can you let me know your purpose of doing it? Dinuraeditions (talk) 06:47, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dinuraeditions, as I explained in reply to the message you left on the talk page, I only added the "multipleissues" tag which combined existing tags into a cleaner looking tag. You probably want to speak to Dan arndt, as he is the one who added the initial tags. Bakilas (talk) 06:48, 31 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

United Firefighters Union Australia article

Hi Bakilas,

There is not an edit war, but dealing with persistent vandalism and possible sockpuppetry by users NSWFire and static IP user 203.174.137.222, with continual addtion of verbatim reproductions of newspapaper articles to the wiki which do not add the article and more read as press releases.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Firefighter83 (talk • contribs)

Firefighter83 - I would advise reading WP:NOT3RR as it explains what is not 3RR, as this does not appear to fall under either "Reverting obvious vandalism—edits that any well-intentioned user would agree constitute vandalism, such as page blanking and adding offensive language". If it is "verbatim reproductions of newspapaper articles" it can be removed as a copyright violation as long as you can link to the article it is copied from. Bakilas (talk) 06:40, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bakilas thank you for the heads up, i'll certainly read the suggested article and act accordingly

user pages

Has ASSadist defector got a suitable user page? i thought they weren't for users to push propaganda. His user page is just a photo of a dictator and some declaration of abject loyalty to this dictator. It is a sign to anyone that this is a pov pusher, it is not a proper use of a user page. I know personal abus is an absolute no-no on wikipedia, I thought pov pushing also was a no -no and user pages were not for propaganda. You know wikipedia is awash with fringe material? You know those who appease and tolerate obvious pov pushers are making wikipedia useless, right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.147.38.134 (talk) 16:04, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
