Be careful that you're not reverting vandalism

Please review your revert on Ahmed Mohamed clock incident. I realize you were attempting to mass-revert an apparent block evader, but your revert reinserted blatant vandalism. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 14:05, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@NorthBySouthBaranof: Fair enough ... ta for the note ... I did check some of their edits manually but I obviously didn't check that one! Graham87 14:10, 9 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Blindness articles/Bookshare low quality issue

Thanks for your response. I'll do some legwork and see if I can turn up some quality sources for an independent editor to use. Appreciate the answer back: took me a while to check my own talk page, even though I knew to look there! JRandomF (talk) 01:23, 10 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merger discussion for Swan Hill

An article that you have been involved in editing—Swan Hill—has been proposed for merging with another article. If you are interested, please participate in the merger discussion. Thank you. Jonathan O'Donnell (talk) 00:36, 11 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your notes on the merger proposal. I wasn’t aware of the distinction. Also, I didn’t intend to breech protocol in contacting too many users. I thought that was the right thing to do to contact contributors to the source and destination pages. What is the norm for contacting people re a merge proposal?

FYI

You got mentioned by name on a Cracked article. — xaosflux ^Talk 00:34, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Xaosflux: Lollollol! The only reason I found that page is because somebody I was following on Twitter posted a link to the wildly excessive synopsis, an I went and removed it ... and it's been on my watchlist ever since. "sacred repository of rap facts"? I'm not really into rap at all. But then there's my thing with the dog and rapper vandal. Graham87 05:01, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

your block of user:101.78.101.185

I was trying to figure out what was up with user:115.66.152.211's edits, including creating fake article climate content on other IP's talk pages. From their overlap on User talk:42.61.145.18 this appears to be the latest IP used by 101.78.101.185. See [1] and [2] for example. Meters (talk) 20:50, 12 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Meters: Ta for the note. I've blocked that IP too. Graham87 02:49, 13 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Market

Why do you keep reverting my added section in Markets (Economics)? I quoted pretty well known Noble prize wining economists and their well cited papers to show the distinction.

On top of that you say that my edit has the wrong "tone". But their should not be any such concerns about aesthetics, because what I am doing is descriptive, "in markets prices guide production", "in firms hierarchy guides production", "50% of US imports are intra firm". These are descriptive facts, "tone" is not a factor when it comes to description.

Lastly if you really feel that the "tone" is "unsuitable for wikipedia, instead of deleting the update, take some time rewrite it in the correct "tone" yourself, while keeping the substance unchanged. Although if you ask my "tone" is the same as 1000s of other articles in wiki. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tinkeringwiki (talk • contribs) 12:20, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the material is welcome here,and sets up the next section. If it's the "wrong tone" (which I don't feel it particularly is), then the beauty of Wikipedia is that you can edit the tone or apply a tag appropriately. Removing it entirely is most unnecessary. -- AtomCrusher (talk) 13:06, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Amanda Reid

Hi, I noticed you (again) reverted the change to Amanda Reid with the inclusion of her name. You have linked to WP:BLP but I don't see an entry there that justifies you removing her well-publicised, not-hidden, reliably-sourced, context-providing name from the article. The closest is WP:BLPNAME but that doesn't apply for the reasoning above, and as it is now sourced then that reasoning is void. In my case, I attempted to find her article after hearing her old name and was directed there by the disambiguation page which is apparently fine. The talk page also implies that you have indirect communication with her or her representatives, which appears to generate WP:COI. Can you clarify these positions? -- AtomCrusher (talk) 12:54, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello please my edits about Sydney

Hello i live in Eastern Suburbs of Sydney my whole life and Page Wood is in eastern suburbs. like As for my edits to western places like towns around MacArthur region and places Maroota they are not proper suburbs of Sydney.

Meanagle Park is where welcome to Sydney sign is any anywhere lie Camden or any town past that is Not Sydney. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazykylebraxtonfan (talk • contribs) 09:57, 20 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Reply from Commuter3:

They are localities, not actual suburbs. But some might get confused. Living in Sydney myself, I consider Maroota a suburb. Commuter3 (talk) 08:47, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Davide King

I came across your name while researching this user. (I suspected meatpuppetry. I did not substantiate this suspicion, and merely mention it to explain why I was looking into him.) It does appear however that he has been previously reported for the sort of behavour that has frustrated me about him on War of 1812; huge walls of text, editing white space on talk pages, changing hyphens to 1-em dashes, etc... He's currently edit-warring over the infobox. Is there some way to get this revisited? If I have to I'll collect diffs and file a whole new case, I guess, but life is short, I have other fish to fry, and these are not the only shenanigans on the page. Thanks for anything you are able to do. Elinruby (talk) 20:24, 26 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Elinruby: Sorry, but I'm not comfortable acting unilaterally here. I will say however he does have an onwiki friend or something ... see some of the comments in User talk:Davide King/Archive 1#Re-blocked. Graham87 03:48, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

if you are not comfortable, then you are not comfortable. But that long wall of text? Pretty much what he is doing now. That and ignoring the talk page. But ok, I guess someone, probably me, will have to file another complaint. I appreciate the answer and the brainpower. It's almost a shame, because he seems sincere about wanting to do the right thing, but then he repeatedly just does not. Anyway, have a good day. Elinruby (talk) 05:00, 27 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

territory

looks like dead editors are something that links with this lot - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/119.18.3.58 - I could be wrong... but no trout please if I am JarrahTree 12:50, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I was trying to be eliiptical/allusive/elusive - I see on your edit history you regularly update the sysop cats and sometimes I thought it might have been dead editors items but it was really sysop's fate - somehow I have extended associative dissonance like most fellow editors here in this gold fish bowl - and somehow keeping up with the defunct eds - the freaky title collection seems to have the same territorial smell so to speak - figured jaws might give the right ambience to the IP's edits as to whether they are genuine or junk - my friday night head is jumbled and jangled with seeing weirness interspersed with very strange tv ads - which is why I thought perhaps for you down in shark bite country (I have indeed swum off bunkers in very hot weather in the past) might need the distraction of freaky title edits as to their veracity. Presume you are lost now, I am already JarrahTree 13:06, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

that's fine - it is going to take ages to get to create a table of the overflowing.. it finished in 96 - they now dont let the water over the top and insist on calling it a dam - so its b nightmare - Helena River reservoir - from when it was built - Lake CY O'Connor from 2004 till now, and Mundaring weir from when it was built, and Mundaring Dam from when they decided to stop theoverflowing in 1996. I hope in time to improve, xxxxx and xxxxx no doubt joining in to make their mess of it. JarrahTree 14:23, 31 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Friendly (talk page stalker) A case of the damned dams, eh? Cheers Graham! Gareth Griffith-Jones (contribs) (talk) 14:39, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed ... damn them! :-) Graham87 15:01, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If it was only that simple - nah its the weir [File:Mundaring_weir_overflowing_in_1960s.jpg] that is no longer spilling, and as for the late Jack Bruce who had a song (Weird of...Honky_Tonk_Angel_(Ellen_McIlwaine_album) side a track 2) or Robert Louis Stevenson's ( Weir_of_Hermiston ) - its nae aft of Hermiston, or anywhere for that matter, but jaws will probably make a doggone mess of all the potential puns, G G J apologies for the intrusion, I am sure odd allusions to weirs is sufficient between associates.. Graham I will try to find an mpeg of [[Ellen Mcillwaine doing the Bruce song its quite stirring, if I remember the right track... JarrahTree 15:07, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I've found said thing! It's really interesting ... reminds me a bit ofNick Drake in a weird way. Ah, now it's picking up and stirring water around ... :-) Graham87 15:16, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here's a legally uploaded link ... Graham87 15:20, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

very sad - a few years ago Ellen actually wanted to start editing as she had found things she wanted to correct, but got frustrated by wikipedia logic, and simply walked away from anything, ( I think I might have discouraged her - not sure where the link might be) then in the last couple of months an acquaintance of hers wanted to edit material about her - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:147.160.130.28?vanarticle=Talk%3AEllen%20McIlwaine&noautowarn=true&vanarticlerevid=962255870 - sad... JarrahTree 15:31, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no! On a completely different musical angle, I've just found out about an absolutely crazy guy called Matt Farley, who specialises in, um, stuff like this, among other things. Little things amuse little minds, I guess ... Graham87 16:00, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I found that person while looking for something a lot better ... this ... Graham87 16:08, 1 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

edit conflict with myself two times over... sigh - thanks for fix JarrahTree 12:53, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

never thought of it - jaws and Jnr Jn. Jr Jr. - suppose it renders them all the same? JarrahTree 13:03, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

aha - then the nuances of reality are explicated in sufficient quality for you then - pedantry can be yours to posses sir !! JarrahTree 13:08, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

hi there, before going into an edit war about good faith edits, can you please open a discussion on the Nice talk page about why you feel so strongly that the Nizza language should not be represented in the Nice infobox Somej (talk) 10:02, 10 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
