Not strictly true, actually. User:Sillyfolkboy managed to track down one (1) edit - under a previous IP - that wasn't vandalism! Sideways713 (talk) 17:09, 1 May 2011 (UTC)

Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers.

Disambiguation link notification for April 26

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited MSP Solai Nadar Memorial Higher Secondary school, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Handball (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Soviet Union

This edit of Ryulong[1] and related edit comment is really misguided. The discussion on the talk page had resolved the issue. The fact that Ryulong reverted my edit without even leaving a note on the talk page but instead requesting protection is most improper, nor do I understand why the seconded Ryulong's request for full protection.

User:Incnis Mrsi reported the problem of IP disruption at this thread. I subsequently report the issue here and the page was semi-protected. I then reverted this disruptive IP. The book State Succession to International Responsibility by Patrick Dumberry published in 2007 summarises the current mainstream view on page 151:

"The question whether the break-up of the U.S.S.R. should be regarded as a case of State dissolution or rather a series of secessions is also controversial. The only non-controversial point is that the three Baltic States are regarded not as new States (and not as successor States of the U.S.S.R.) but as identical to the three Baltic States that existed before their 1940 illegal annexation by the U.S.S.R."

I think with that definitive summary we can conclude that the mainstream view is that the Baltic states were not successor states, since the author clearly states there is no controversy in that view, i.e. it is not contested in scholarly literature. Therefore, the Baltic states, which left the Soviet Union three months before it was dissolved, is improperly included as successor states in the inbox. Note that only four republics are listed as predecessors and 12 should be listed as successors, as any RS will show. --Nug (talk) 11:04, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

If all reliable sources do indeed support you, it should be easy for you to establish a talk page consensus; as of now, though, despite your claims the issue clearly hasn't been resolved. As for fully protecting the page, if there's an edit war under way involving both IPs and non-IPs then full protection is much more appropriate than semi-protection. Per WP:SEMI, semi-protection is only an appropriate reaction to edit warring "where all parties involved are unregistered or new editors", which clearly isn't the case here. And no, edit warring is not vandalism. Sideways713 (talk) 11:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Indeed the discussion has been dormant for nearly two weeks, indicating that no one has been able to refute the sources presented, the disruptive IP was not contributing to the discussion, User:Incnis Mrsi who initially opposed the edit in discussions finally implicitly agreed when he also reverted the IP, thereby showing that consensus has been achieved. The only other opposing editor User:GoodDay was site banned for disruptive behaviour in East European topics, and I wouldn't be surprised if this IP was him. --Nug (talk) 11:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)

Waiting for the Rain

I apologize for mistaking your intent. It looked to me (after your edit) that the article included Part II in the summary but not Part I, which made me think material was still being arbitrarily removed. But I see I somehow misread the difference page. Once again, my apologies. Thanks for persisting, and for contacting me about it. ubiquity (talk) 15:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

IAAF Hall of Fame

You made contributions to the IAAF Hall of Fame#Other athletes who match the criteria section that has been removed by User:Prolog. The conversation first went to User talk:Prolog and is now moving to Wikipedia:No original research/Noticeboard#IAAF Hall of Fame where the discussion apparently will now continue. Your participation is invited. Trackinfo (talk) 21:40, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

Template:IAAF simple

Hi Sideways. Does Template:IAAF simple have the same result as Template:IAAF name? If so, we should probably update the name template with the simple code and redirect the now redundant Template:IAAF profile into that too. SFB 12:02, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

I'm not entirely sure what you mean or intend, but at this point I see no advantage to tampering with any of the templates.

IAAF simple and IAAF name are interchangeable to a limited extent: a working link should be produced by the same parameters whichever template is used, but it won't be the same link. Furthermore, IAAF name has a parameter called "name" whereas IAAF simple has one called "text" for the same purpose - confusing the two shouldn't do much damage either way since both templates automatically remove disambiguation from pagenames, but it surely wouldn't do any good.

IAAF profile takes entirely different parameters, and redirecting it to either of the other two would break eighty-odd profile links. Sideways713 (talk) 13:26, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Hey there. I just approved one of your hooks, and while I was doing it, I noticed that a lot of your citations are in all caps. Even if the title is in all caps in the newspaper itself, you should convert it out of all caps per WP:ALLCAPS. Cheers, Sven Manguard Wha? 18:55, 17 April 2014 (UTC)
