== DYK - Censorship in Spain ==


[[Image:Symbol question.svg|25px]] Hello! Your submission of [[Article]] at the [[Template talk:DYK|Did You Know nominations page]] has been reviewed, and there still are some issues that may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath '''{{T:TDYK|Article|your nomination's entry}}''' and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! <!--Template:DYKproblem-->
:Just a hint that if you'd like to write an article about censorship in Spain, as opposed to one dealing with almost wholly unrelated issues, one good starting point would be the ''[http://idlemindz.net/books/Encyclopedia%20of%20Censorship.pdf Encyclopedia of Censorship]'', p. 538-47 (561-70 in the PDF file).

== Khalid ibn Walid ==

Dear Tommy,

I've recently edited the section on Khalid ibn Walid regarding his honorable discharge from military and in this section, there is some factual inaccuracy. As an islamic historian and muslim, I feel that the information there is factually incorrect and based on vague and unsubstantiated sources which conflict with the sources available in the middle east regarding the relationship between Umar and Khalid. In particular, there is no evidence whatsoever that the story told about the argument between Umar and Khalid was ever documented or occured, and the evidence is actually to the contrary which shows that they held a close relationship and were very good friends.

I would therefore ask you to reinstate the changes I have made recently which you dismissed, as I feel that you are misleading less informed readers by keeping this story as it is, and tarnishing the name of two of Islam's greatest heros. Please feel free to check my information against other sources if you feel this is neccessary.

Yours sincerely
Mr. Ahmed Abdulkarim

:Hi there and thanks for the sincere message. If you believe there is a problem that needs correcting, be sure to leave an informative [[WP:EDITSUMMARY|edit summary]], right above the "Save page" button.

== Re: MLS ==

Actually, no, it WAS constructive, you just gave me a two second opportunity to finish what I was doing. I'm trying to get "MLS" to go to Major League Soccer, and for that I need a page specifically titled "(disambiguation)" to do so. Does that sound okay? There was no specific MLS-abbreviated page that it already went straight to with a "This page is about the _____. For other uses, see..." at the top. I don't see a single thing wrong with that. Oh, and "disambig pages never have disambiguation in the title"? [[United States (disambiguation)|Uh-huh.]] [[User:Akyoyo94|Akyoyo94]] ([[User talk:Akyoyo94|talk]]) 23:26, 12 September 2010 (UTC)

::Jeebus, do not undo an edit on my talk page, per talk page guidelines; continuing to do it can be considered harassment. Also, the only reason why you're making such a big deal of one revert is because I told you to slow down because you made a blatant mistake as a result of going too fast. Let me also make it clear that I don't like burning bridges and making things hostile here but you were going extremely fast, arguably one of the fastest reverts I've ever seen (maybe except for L Kensington, the guys gotta be a superhuman). Speed alone isn't a bad thing but mistakes happen, especially for inexperienced users and you took that criticism to heart. This is why I told you if you cant take constructive criticism, then huggle may not be for you. Now I've moved on (as I always do) but you need to drop the stick. I'd also like to say that I screwed up heavily when I was new with Huggle and since then I've learned and grew and I can see you doing the same, but if you have a problem with what I've told you, you should ask in your own topic here and not indulge yourself in issues that don't pertain to you. By the way, I am well versed in WP:VAND. Thanks, [[User:Tommy2010|<font color="gray">Tom</font>]][[User talk:Tommy2010|my!]] 15:10, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

:::I haven't undone '''any''' edits on your talk page. Check your talk page history before making such claims. I revert fast because I stick to blatant vandalism, it takes a millisecond to recognise 'pen*s' is out of place in an article about[[tomato| tomatoes]], for example. The revert you criticised on was removed from the page history along with the original vandalism, so I am unable to comment on it. The subtle patronisation about being inexperienced is unnecessary, I've been editing here for some years longer than you. This issue did pertain to me, I take an interest in vandalism and it's a misuse of rollback, and if you're well versed in the vandalism guidelines then you realise you made a mistake here. I asuggest next time you misuse rollback you should apologise to the user and remove the vandalism warning (which is still there and another user has since commented on it, requesting it to be removed due to being placed there wrongly) [[User:Jebus989|'''<font color="#A9D0F5">J</font><font color="#81BEF7">e</font><font color="#58ACFA">b</font><font color="#2E9AFE">u</font><font color="#0080FF">s</font><font color="#0174DF">9</font><font color="#045FB4">8</font><font color="#084B8A">9</font>''']][[User_talk:Jebus989|<font color="black"><sup>✰</sup></font>]] 15:21, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
::::The only "misuse" of rollback was failing to leave an edit summary, which I'm usually keen on for non vandal edits. Bare in mind Huggle '''is not''' designed for blatant vandalism, if you haven't noticed (hence the drop down arrow next to Warn + revert), as part of [[WP:IAR|Ignore all rules]]. This is going on a tangent, but I'm really sick of users complaining about "misuse" of rollback because it wasn't "blatant vandalism." There are many valid reasons to revert edits that aren't blatant vandalism. WP:ROLLBACK is just a guideline, although of course I too aim to revert only vandalism. Now I'm done talking about this.

Re: Jeffree Star Revert.
You should do your research and understand that Jeffree star was never actually interviewed by LA Weekly and the citation of the source is linked to a false page created to imitate LA Weekly's Website, and if you attempt to follow a link directly from that page, you will receive an error message, indicating that the page is not an actual site, but a substitution.

== Howard King wiki ==

Hi. I've seen that you have edited the content of the Wiki of referee Howard King.

I have meant to take the time to edit that wiki once and for all, but I have been busy . I will try to update it once I have some free time, which i expect will be this friday.

Howard King's claims regarding him accepting bribery were considered unfounded by UEFA on the 20th of March 1997 according to this link in flemish:

http://users.skynet.be/Crystal/specials/SP4.htm

"De sportieve groei van de ploeg werd naar de achtergrond verdrongen. Plannen om met RSC Anderlecht naar de beurs te gaan werden uitgesteld. De hoofdsponsor, de Generale Bank, dreigde af te haken maar zette de samenwerking uiteindelijk toch verder op voorwaarde dat er naast Anderlecht-Nottingham geen dergelijke affaires zouden opduiken. Elst stelde ook nog een deel andere wedstrijden in een kwaad daglicht. Elst zou ook de scheidsrechter Keith Hackett benaderd hebben voor de wedstrijd tegen Banik Ostrava, in oktober 1983. Ook de wedstrijd RSC Anderlecht-Malmö van september 1987 kwam in negatieve zin ter sprake nadat de Welshe scheidsrechter Howard King eind 1995 voor 400.000 frank het verhaal van carrière uit de doeken deed aan het Boulevardblad News of the World. Daarin vermelde King allerlei geknoei rond Europese wedstrijden, waaronder ook RSC Anderlecht-Malmö.De UEFA onderzocht de zaak, maar beschouwde ze op 20 maart 1997 als afgedaan, er vanuitgaande dat Howard King zijn fantasie de vrije loop had laten gaan in ruil voor een pak geld. "

Where the most correct translation to english of the excerpt wanted in that link states:

"The sportive growth of the team was pushed to the background. Plans to go to the stock exchange with RSCA Anderlecht were postponed. The main sponsor, the "Generale Bank", threatened to discontinue their cooperation, but in the end they continued on condition that no more affairs other than Anderlecht- Nottingham would surface. Elst also talked about other soccer games. He was supposed to have talked to referee Keith Hackett before the match against Branik Ostrawa in october 1983. Also the game between Anderlecht and Malmo was talked about in a negative way after the Welsh referee Howard King told the story of his career for 400 000 franks to the tabloid News of the World at the end of 1995. He told about messing with European games, including Anderlecht-Malmo. UEFA investigated the case, but at 20 march 1997 closed it, because there was nothing that supported his claims, supposing Howard King used his fantasy for a lot of money".

There are also claims from Caen players that he smelled of alcohol during they're European game against Zaragoza, there are links to that on the french wiki.

I have been editing the english wiki of Howard King because I consider claiming that him being suspended, when UEFA found he just made everything up, inexact. If he accepted vice girls, there should have been clubs punished, fact that didn't happen. Which also doesn't correspond to the treatment of other cases of corruption dealt by UEFA. I consider that walesonline just misinterpreted the information they gave, I even tried to contact them, to clear everything out, once and for all, but did not get an answer. And it is the only, press information about him getting suspended, at least on the web.

Hope you understand, sorry for the inconvenience, and if you need anymore information regarding Howard King I will be glad to help.

:Um wow. That's a lot of information. I only reverted because you removed sourced content. If you believe it shouldn't be in Wikipedia, simply remove it again but explain why in the Edit summary, above the "Save Page" button. Thanks for contributing, [[User:Tommy2010|<font color="gray">Tom</font>]][[User talk:Tommy2010|my!]] 01:34, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

If even a great atheist hears '''Shri Chaitanya-mangala''' (previous name for Shri Chaitanya-bhagavata), he immediately becomes a great devotee.
So all the great atheists which comprise of 99.99% of the world’s population can become maha-vaishnavas if they get the supreme good fortune of reading this book. Thus in my personal opinion, when this book is published and distributed in mass quantities all over the world, it will break open the gates of the flood of the love of Godhead brought by Lord Chaitanya and His associates and will hasten the advent of the predicted Golden Age in all its glory.'[http://www.veda.harekrsna.cz/planetarium/index.htm Vedic cosmology - planetarium]

== Disaccomplishment ==

Looks like its quite rare as i couldnt find any entries even in Oxford Dictionary but its used "in the wild". All i know is that its a far better fitting translation to the german word "schaffen" that is best translated to "accompishing". guess if your level english is 5, like you point out with ur bable-button, mine ist 6 :p.

:I applaud the effort you do, but on the bigger picture, even if it does make the German translation better, "disaccomplishment" in English is so rarely used (not to mention I couldn't find it on dictionary.com either), that it's virtually meaningless in English... so then we're back at square one ;). Good effort, but I think the other versions are better, even if it is not exact. Some times phrases in other languages cannot be exactly translated in another. cheers, [[User:Tommy2010|<font color="gray">Tom</font>]][[User talk:Tommy2010|my!]] 16:42, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

== RE: Magnet school status ==

Hi Tommy!

Here's the information from the U.S. Dept. of Education's web page RE: Magnet school status, and the difference between these types of institutions vs. non-magnet status public schools.

== Peter Wegner ==

So I keep running into vandal issues with this as I am prob doing something wrong. Essentially I have created a page for an artist named Peter Wegner and the search instantly directs the viewer to a scientist named Peter Wegner. I am trying to make a disambiguous page that would have both artist and scientist on there so one article doesn't receive more attention than the other. How would I do this?

Thanks

== Koi Article ==

The section removed from the Koi article was not intended to be 'vandalism'. In prior discussion on the talk pages, several users felt that information was excessive and deemed it to be unnecessary and questioned its relevance to the article itself. In terms of consistency with other Species articles, 'comparison' sections or 'differences' sections typically do not exist.
:Please provide an edit summary then. Although, I don't agree with that decision, it contains information which is exactly encyclopedic. [[User:Tommy2010|<font color="gray">Tom</font>]][[User talk:Tommy2010|my!]] 21:49, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
::There was an RFC in the Talk pages. Prior to the suggestions being changed, those particular sections were archived http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Koi/Archive_1#Origins_of_Koi_vs._Origins_of_Goldfish. That being said, I'm not strongly inclined either way to remove the information or leave it in. I simply wanted to let you know that my attempted edits were meant to be constructive, and not intended to vandalize the page. Thanks.

Hi,

I noticed you'd reverted a link to http://www.airmekong.com.vn as spam on this article. It appears to be the official website, so it seems a bit harsh to call it spam.
