re Paleo-Indians

Hi, Moxy, and thank you for bringing to my attention some good sources such as Helaine Silverman's book. Eio-cos (talk) 15:10, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Plagiarism

Since you posted on my talk page in 2013 I have learned to plagiarise very minimally and have learned to mostly use my own words when citing sources.

May 2016 Rona Ambrose

Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Rona Ambrose, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Moxy (talk) 01:29, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

Moxy,

You have deleted the word prominent from the Rona Ambrose article. Please provide a source that states that Ambrose, the leader of a federal political party and 9-time cabinet minister (including Minister Responsible for the Status of Women) is somehow not prominent. You must provide sources in order to explain this blatantly disruptive edit.

Copy-paste response

I got your message. The section in Robin Williams that you reverted was gathered from the information from the Aladdin film which was there long before it was removed by other users. If bringing back the long-deleted information of that was wrong, I apologize for this action. --Rtkat3 (talk) 17:03, 1 May 2016 (UTC)

You are a hypocrite

"Deletionist are the plague of Wikipedia" - YOU ARE A DELETIONIST. You delete people's opinions on talk pages that have absolutely nothing to do with you. Bloody grow up and practice what you preach please 146.0.229.49 (talk) 22:13, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk pages are not the place for personal attacks towards non named editors or admins. If in the future you can contribute to a discussion page in a mature and constrictive manner pls do so. -- Moxy (talk) 22:20, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

• @Moxy: Quite frankly I don't give two fucks if you think its a personal attack because it' not and if you don't like it delete it from your page. I am commenting on the fact you're a hypocrite and that is all. HeroChaos (talk) 22:36, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

I take it you did not read the link your referring to....its about content ..not removing attack edits that do not help our articles. An article talk page is not the place to rant about some problem you have with an admin. So far not a good start for you... I suggest you read Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia#The Wikipedia community, standards and principles for some basic we expect from our editors....I will also add a welcome template to your user page with more links on the basics so you can refer to them at will. -- Moxy (talk) 22:45, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

	Hey, it looks like you have won the ignored award for being ignored by someone, well done! This user has ignored you because: "User Moxy likes forcing his opinions on people and thinks new editors NEED to learn community made policies." HeroChaos (talk) 23:15, 7 May 2016 (UTC)

Regarding consensus on Iran vs Persia

It has been days since much activity was afforded to move in the right direction as to when the Iran article is unlocked. Consensus has it that people are mostly in favour of the notion, but that may change. How much longer shall we wait before the Iran article is unlocked and the proposed changes are implemented?

Demography

The term "Demography" is coined from two Greek words Demos,meaning People and Graphia meaning to draw,to describe,or to study."Demography therefore, means the distribution of people. A chilled Guillard of Belgium was the first scholar to use word Demography in his book "Comparative Demography " in 1855.According to Guillard ,"it is the statistical knowledge of human population ".In short demography is the study of human population and it's related issues. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raahul Mahato (talk • contribs) 09:55, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Article on Paleo-Americans

Hello,

The article on Paleo-Americans incorrectly refers to them as Paleo-Indians. I made some changes to correct this problem back in March, but the incorrect reference was put back. If this article is about human migration to North and South America and the people involved, why does it refer to them by the same designator as the people from the nation of India in South Asia? It is not my intent to offend either group of people, but they are different people and we have different ways of referring to each of them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.1.97.2 (talk) 21:54, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

The reliable source is my website dhyanayoga.info online for 12 years

I also host it as pradeepkumarxplorer.com marichavana means one who has died in Malayalam. It is a known fact Marijuana is used by yogis and shivaism beings who sees Shiva as God of death. Please see my barongue section. You cannot delete my edit. That would mean You are partnering with the financial crime going on with the intention of Harming me and I have already been harmed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pradeepkumarxplorer (talk • contribs) 12:13, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Please see WP:Verifiability. This would not be considered a reliable source. The length of time a source has been publishing has no bearing on its reliability. The fact that it is yours means it is a primary source, which are of very little value at Wikipedia. Until you have a reliable source, please stop adding this material to the article.

infobox

please dont allow this krimuk to remove infobox of Deepika Padukone. Skskdh (talk) 04:00, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

two actresses to be featured as TFA in June: Marilyn Monroe and Sonam Kapoor --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:30, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

The actress had an infobox from 21 August 2006 until 2013, when we had the the FAC, more 2013, then a dispute in 2014, - just excerpts of a long history - says the woman who was accused of battleground behaviour in infobox discussions ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 11:50, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

There is not much that can be done...its disappointing to see that we have a group of editors that thinks looks are more important then information. Some dont understand fully why we are here. That said they do a great job with the FA of bios...we are lucky they only deal with pop culture bios and not historical people. Historical bios are much harder to do as we expect much better sources....these pop culture bios are just filled with news source ...this would never fly with someone like Adolf Hitler. --Moxy (talk) 17:10, 29 May 2016 (UTC)

It would be nice to see people not being so dismissive of their fellow editor's contributions. Yes, I do write about celebrities, but that doesn't make my contributions any less important than that of the editors who write about politicians or historical figures. Krimuk|90 (talk) 04:59, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

..."its[sic] disappointing to see that we have a group of editors that thinks looks are more important then information." And who would they be exactly? Cassianto^Talk 17:54, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

I see the argument "looks" in the other actress's discussion, which looks like it's important, no? "this definitely looks better without an infobox and looks more professional", "It looks much more attractive without one", "A neat photograph in the corner looks more professional", - nothing wrong with that look on things, but it's personal opinion, every time. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:23, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

As far as I can see, I don't mention looks? I mention the repetitiveness of it all. But while we're on the subject, yes, I do think it looks better. Although that is secondary to anything else. Cassianto^Talk 19:03, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

I look at arguments rather than who made them ;) - thank you for guiding me to another article where I just explained a few things, not to be repeated here in order to avoid repetitiveness, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:28, 31 May 2016 (UTC)

You all do great work... its a shame you guys seem to deal with this allover ....waste of everyone's time (if only there was a norm or a reason for the boxes - eh!). As I have pointed out a few times now over the past ten years....some just have a different understanding of our purpose and goals. In my view our goals are to collect information on all branches of knowledge and to disseminated that information around the world in all languages. Thus I will argue in favour of that every time.....why......for one we should be accommodating non-English readers (this will help expand other wikis) and people just scanning for quick titbits. We should also accommodate other sites and software that want to help facilitate the spread of knowledge. We are not here to gain readership or force people to read our articles by suppressing information to other websites or search engines. It is absolutely great that you guys upgrade these articles....but ...forcing readers to gain that knowledge only in context (read the lead), thus not giving them a choice on how to get said information is simply not the best way to do things. Got to remember not all want to or can consume information in the same manner nor do all have the same comprehension of English to do so...or the ability to do simple math. Some people also dont have access to unlimited internet/data thus a browser search may be all they can do to get some info.....thus again we should not force them here to gain this knowledge. As you have seen... for me this does not come up often...but when I see I think its best to say something as I believe access to information is more important then looks. I have said this before about a few things....one being Google book links...if a preview or the entire books is available we should link it...we should not make our readers run-around to fine information if we can give it to them with one click.-- Moxy (talk) 21:36, 30 May 2016 (UTC)

Immigration to Mexico

Hi, in Mexico is immigration about of contry, no ethnicity because in Germany has got many ethnic groups, is incorrect say German Mexican, the best is German immigration to Mexico. See you.--Marrovi (talk) 02:48, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Many people have explained this to you before for years. The article is a diaspora (Mexican citizens of German descent or origin) not immigration...pls learn the differences in English terms and meanings ...it has been over 6 years people have been telling you this. -- Moxy (talk) 02:55, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Spanish Mexican is incorrect, many Spanish people who lives in Mexico hasn't a Mexican nationality, is a error, in Spanish Wikipedia don't use Hispano-Mexicano it's ethnicity no immigration. The theme is about diaspora no ethnicity, Spain has got many ethnic grpups, Spanish no is race, is a nationality.--Marrovi (talk) 03:06, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

I dont think English Wikipedia is the place for you...I encourage you to edit a Wikipedia in your own language.--Moxy (talk) 04:24, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately for Marrovi, he is blocked from the Spanish wikipedia (and several others) exactly because of these kinds of problems with his contributions.·maunus · snunɐɯ· 09:19, 13 June 2016 (UTC)

Thank you Moxy, this articles no is specific with Mexican roots, is a history about forenig people in Mexico, this is a reason by the title Britons in Mexico or Spaniards in Mexico, is a foreign people's history in Mexico. We have a different topics about immigration, for example; Chipilo, a Mexican Italian town in Puebla state, where the persons speak Chipilo Venetian language or the case of Mennonite colonies or Mormon colonies; all persons born in Mexico but them speak other languages as Mother language.--Marrovi (talk) 16:17, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

I dont understand what you are saying? Are you suggesting that an article about a town should be about immigration? i think the language problem is to big for you to understand even the basics of our policies our what people are saying. I think if this problem goes on we will have to file a report...as your additions are non-intelligible nor do you seem to understand what terms mean in English -- Moxy (talk) 18:25, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
