Bin Baz page naming

I see you have commented on this issue before, and I have opened a new discussion about how to resolve the fact that the page name and the name in the article do not agree with each other. I encourage you to add your voice. --Jprg1966 ^(talk) 08:59, 14 November 2013 (UTC)

Qalbiyya Tribe

Samuel Lyde is not a reliable man, and his statement about the Qalbiyya tribe is very defaming. In the article on Samuel Lyde you can read the following: "Lyde developed a deranged mental state and had delusions that he was John the Baptist, Jesus Christ or God himself."

I believe it is not necessary to spread the slandering and wrong words about a tribe of another religion by a deranged missionary.

Persecution of Alawites

The reason of the persecution of Alawites by Sunni rulers is because Alawites and Shi'ites in general do historically not accept the caliphate of the Sunni rulers. If it would be because of the reasons you mentioned, then what about all the other Shi'ite groups who have been persecuted by Sunni rulers in the area of Syria since the 7th century?!

And why do you want to put something in head of the page, that is not being confirmed by Alawite religious authorities themselves? Do you want to spread Fitna?

Jonathan King et al.

I see our friend has been editing at Chris Langham as well. Some WP:BLP and WP:RS issues there as well, I fear. Ghmyrtle (talk) 12:09, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Some repair work needed. DeCausa (talk) 17:11, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Done, but you may want to check it. Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:38, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Yep, done - let's see if it sticks. Btw, Loop di Love was nicely done. Overdue becoming a blue link! DeCausa (talk) 22:54, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Anything I did wrong on langham please let me know, because I didnt do anything wrong. DeCausa thanks for all your effort (and I really mean that), nice to find one honest editor on here, all I want is for the articles to be true, but they are allowed to be taken over by sympathisers and god help you if you ask for them to be fixed!Dave006 (talk) 19:31, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

As a general rule, it's a mistake to edit articles that one feels strongly about. It's almost impossible to set aside personal feelings and write objectively. It's also a more pleasant experience writing when you're not heavily invested in a particular point of view. I edit articles because I enjoy researching them and I enjoy writing, often about subjects I had no prior interest in. I normally avoid any subject I feel strongly about in the Real World. I don't want to criticize because I know you've been making an effort to edit within policy, but you give the impression that you're here to get a particular point of view across. DeCausa (talk) 23:05, 16 January 2014 (UTC)

Copy of my answer to your message on Jonathan King's talk page..... I see you've reversed all my edits so I assume you and the other editors are not interested in my contributions. I have no problem with that. The graduation date is clearly in Music Week (which was then Record Retailer) and all the other music papers; I was looking at Record Mirror which has a picture caption which says on Friday 23rd June 1967 "Jonathan King BA attends an awards ceremony at Cambridge University where he receives his honours degree in English - then rushes to Southampton to co-compere As You Like It" whatever that might be. Sorry if that doesn't meet your rules or agenda. LudoVicar (talk) 07:45, 17 January 2014 (UTC)

Fair points mate, and good advice re looking for articles to research, think I will give that a go! Never thought of looing into an article I have no knowledge of, but think it will be fun, thanks.Dave006 (talk) 10:40, 17 January 2014 (UTC) PS by the way only just learnt you can click the sign thing and it does it for you, been cutting and pasting up to now!

You said you thought I was a sock of Dave006. I'm not but several editors have suggested I change my name. Can you tell me how I do it?Pedohater (talk) 08:05, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

No, I didn't say that and I don't think that. Your user name breaches wikipedia user name policy and should be changed. How to do that is here: Wikipedia:Changing username. At the same time you need to change your behaviour, stop your trolling and edit constructively. DeCausa (talk) 10:38, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Constituent country

Hi, I've reverted your revert. Please don't revert just because you don't like the smell of something. Add citation needed tags or develop articles. Wholesale reverts don't do the project any good. --Tóraí (talk) 00:03, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Tóraí, you must be mixing me up with someone else. I couldn't give a stuff how it smells. This was my edit and I reverted you, because you gave no citation for a change in the balance of how that issue was treated. Also it wasn't a "wholesale revert", just a small part of your last edits. The United Kingdom talk page has discussed this at length before and the no. 10 citation has been used as the basis for saying that "4 countries" is the mainstream view with "3 countries" as the alternative. This was reflected in this article. Your edit changed the balance, and you did so without citation. Personally, I couldn't give a stuff either way (I find that whole debate meaningless) but it was an entirely appropriate revert to your poor edit - and CMD in his subsequent revert of you agreed with that. Acting like a prima donna because you get reverted doesn't "do the project any good". DeCausa (talk) 08:28, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

My apologies! My mistake! For some reason I thought you had reverted the whole lot! I cannot explain now why it looked like that to me. That's what I get for editing late at night!

I'll strike my comments on the talk page too. --Tóraí (talk) 08:37, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Looked on the talk, I don't see any specific comment I can strike out. Apologies again! God, I feel so thick! Apologies, apologies, apologies ... --Tóraí (talk) 08:39, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

I've added an apology. So sorry again! --Tóraí (talk) 08:47, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

No problem! Apologies too for my overly touchy response (discovered a roof leak this morning so not in the best of moods...!) DeCausa (talk) 09:14, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

Ah no, I feel like such a stuff-tard (to borrow your phrase)! Sorry to hear about your roof. I have a cat that may have eaten rat poison (we'll know if she lives), if it makes you feel any better :-)

Sorry again. Lesson learned to look (twice) before I leap. --Tóraí (talk) 09:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)

sorry to ask mate, but can you please look at the article. Tried to redo and thought it was much better and now an editor is just changing everything back to the wrong quotes from sources etc. I have no agenda and have asked him to discuss it re talk, but no joy, can you help?Honest-john (talk) 21:22, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

I don't know enough about the subject to make any comment after a quick look at the article. However, the other editor is very experienced and put up a template saying he was doing an overhaul of the article. I would let him finish, then once he's done take up any issues with him on the talk page. He's got 40k+ edits behind him. It's unlikely he's doing anything that doesn't follow Wikipedia policies. By the way, you said on the talk page of the article that you asked an admin/senior editor to look at it. I hope you don't mean me because I'm neither of those. DeCausa (talk) 22:59, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

your help please

Really sorry to bother you. set up my first page, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Brooke And was hoping that you could check it please as it now has a warning on it that it may cause libel? ThanksHonest-john (talk) 18:42, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

I'll take a look, but won't be able to until later on this evening. DeCausa (talk) 19:52, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Just had a quick look: if by the warning you mean the notice on the talk page, that's just the standard reminder that's put on all living people articles. Eg JK has the same one. But two things: if you're going to create an article on a living person, pleaee make sure you've read the relevant policy which is WP:BLP. It' enforced strictly. Secondly Imbd is not a good source. As the article is because it's a BLP and with only one poor source it could essily get deleted. You need to get some proper sources in it quickly - newspaper articles etc. DeCausa (talk) 20:00, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi

We or i have confused us... we have now a literal translation ascribed to Seamus Heaney on Anglo-Saxons. Either is fine by me a literal translation or poetic Seamus Heaney one. What now is a mix a literal translation with Seamus Heaney above it ... when it isnt his. His starts "Often". Thanks J Beake (talk) 21:32, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
