Hamtramck, MichiganYour recent edit. I spent a lot of time adding info to that page and you deleted it. I understand why you did but why don't you at least make a new Wiki page so that the Police history can all go there? I would do it but I don't have the rights to yet. The Hamtramck page that is...

Jim1138Hi. How did you get involved in this business with @Jim1138:? Jim1138 left an erroneous and damaging Edit Warring warning on my page. You can see what he did here. In the 'History' section, he replaced an entirely duplicated section, duplicating the content immediately above it. He called it an "Unexplained removal of content". No content had been removed, it had only been paragraphed ... which he then duplication. He was obviously in the wrong. He obviously paid no attention to the content. Then he left the erroneous and damaging bad mark which I have asked him politely to apologise, and remove and erase it. It strikes me it would take a lot less effort just to do so than all this running around. It is not a "content issue", it was bullying. Can you remove and erase it? I don't want it to be left to be used against me, as already happened. Thank you. --Wordfunk (talk) 04:47, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
RequestHi Barek. Could you merge History of the Kurds to Kurds? Article of Kurds is protected and watchlisted by many admins and therefore not target of vandals. However, History of the Kurds is an area of vandalism and sockpuppetry. lf you cannot do that, can you please watchlisted the article History of the Kurds at least? 'Cause it needs an admin intervention. Regards...85.105.128.126 (talk) 10:21, 25 January 2016 (UTC) P.S.:Take a look at this. You'll see the plenty of disruptive edits (major content deletions, nationalist POV-pushings, vandalisms, edit-warrings, bla bla.). Majority of such edits were (and are) done by various ipv4s, ipv6s and proxies. Admins should pay attention to this article. 85.105.128.126 (talk) 11:53, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
Steve PerryHi! OMG...I am SO SORRY! This is my very first time ever updating at Wikipedia...and I had NO IDEA how it worked!! Please allow the update that Steve Perry is in the studio, as this is MAJOR news and current, and will keep this page up-to-date. I wrote the content myself on my site, so there is not an issue there. But please bring any concerns to my attention. Seriously...I had NO IDEA how this works. (obviously)... but the page was in much need of the biggest update in two decades. Would you assist me in bringing this about? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gini Garbick (talk • contribs) 05:50, 7 February 2016 (UTC) Hi...one more quick thing. About copy/pasting from another site. That other site is mine, so there is no infringement (just laziness). I should've mentioned that, but I retyped it within the Wikipedia page. If you have any further concerns about my sorry ass attempt at a first time contribution, please give me a yell! Again, I am so sorry! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gini Garbick (talk • ----Ginicontribs) 06:10, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
Hi...should I have the content on the front page of my site copywritten? I'm not sure I understand. Please advise. Plus, I totally get that about the "puffery", I think you're probably referring to the all caps and bolding, correct? I completely understand your policy on that. I'm just trying to post an update. How do I do that? The content on your site with regard to this subject matter is not current. I am happy to not bother you, and move along...I just happen to love Wikipedia, and rely on it for a lot of information. This is one topic I know very well, and could bring you current. I'm just not sure how to do that.---Gini — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gini Garbick (talk • contribs) 19:54, 7 February 2016 (UTC) Marquette county bigger than Keweenaw countyWhy I edited, because Marquette County looked bigger than Keweenaw county.

Updates to Wallingford https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallingford,_ConnecticutPlease help me out here and help me understand why using the public information from the municipal website was deleted? I edited: History[edit] Wallingford was established on October 10, 1667, when the Connecticut General Assembly authorized the "making of a village on the east river" to thirty-eight planters and freemen. To include all of http://www.town.wallingford.ct.us/Content/History_and_Description.asp As a municipal website, I would think the content use would be free to use here but perhaps not. What I can tell you is someone has made major edits to the Wikipedia page for Wallingford and reduced the content from what is was to almost zero. If it helps you at all - I am a Wallingford Town Councilor, elected by the people of Wallingford to serve the town. Please advise. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GUNDERSTONE (talk • contribs) 19:02, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Brian "Redban" ReichleHi Barek, I am a first time (potential) contributor to Wikipedia, and though I'm not really familiar with the rules I'm reaching out to you as I'm trying to do the right thing before re-publishing a page that you deleted in 2014, and that was previously deleted in 2011. I literally joined Wikipedia because I have enjoyed this individuals work for many years and think it's crazy that he has been denied recognition by Wikipedia. Brian "Redban" Reichle is a notable individual on a number of fronts, and far moreso than many others on Wiki. He is a well knowns stand-up comedian, has an upcoming comedy special, has appeared in several documentary and feature films. Redban has been a contributing member and the technical founder of several Podcasts which have been #1 hits on iTunes (The Joe Rogan Experience, the Ice House Chronicles and Death-squad - as well as a number of other less notables ones). He is the founder of the Deathsquad Comedy group which boasts some of the greatest talent in the industry today and as a result has director and producer credits in numerous productions of other comedians. Redban has a substantial social media following on Instagram (c55k) and Twitter (c155k) which is reflective only of his works in the areas I have mentioned and, I'm sure, many more than I am not aware of which other users would be able to add. If you're willing to allow me to put up the page again, I'll make sure it's of sufficient quality and illustrates all of the above. Please add a [talkback request] as I assume that will help me see the response, let me know if you have any questions.

CardologyCommunity.org on List of Internet ForumsDear Barek, I received your notice about adding Cardology Community to the list of Internet Forums. My question for you is, is it the forum itself that doesn't fit your requirement or is it the link itself? Cardology Community is a legitimate forum and is the official international online forum for the International Association of Cardology. If it is just the link, then I am happy to have it removed. If it is the forum itself, then it seems to me that if Wikipedia is offering a list of internet forums that would include all forums, not just certain hand-picked ones. Please let me know what the criteria is to be included in this list. Any information you can offer is greatly appreciated! GinaEJones (talk) 14:06, 3 April 2016 (UTC)Gina E.

The World TomorrowWhy do you, C.Fred and Roberticus have such a biased personal interest in your blatant ongoing (for well over one year) vandalism of this particular Wikipedia page. Your combined acts in collusion with one another, have been reported. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.199.177.17 (talk) 21:17, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
How about Superstation WGN, and the Word networks? Would those links be reliable enough sources for you? Or, a link to a current episode? No matter how hard you try to disrupt this page and its factual article, your combined efforts to do so cannot change the information you diabolically and deliberately deleted. The programs were preserved by Bob Dole and the show is in current production with a brand new dynamic and charismatic well educated, host! 😀 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.199.177.17 (talk) 21:31, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
Roberticus edit history displays a clear personal biased history of disruptive editing to this article and numerous ARMSTRONGISM related Wikipedia articles. Roberticus disruptive editing of these related Wikipedia articles has taken place for several years. Any cursory search of the history of The World Tomorow Wikipedia page reveals a clear personal biased disruptive editing of the page for over one year by Barek.

Assange World Tomorrow title card VS Armstrong World Tomorrow title card uploadThe world tomorrow (radio and television) and World Tomorrow (Julian Assaunge). Could you please explain to us the difference between uploading a title card for the Assange World Tomorrow show, which is allowed, versus not allowing a title card fro The World Tomorrow (Armstrrong) show. Both title cards were uploaded in every detail identically and in compliance with every Wikipefia rule and guideline. But, the title card for the Assange World Tomorrow remains unchallenged by "copyright", and the title card for the Armstrong World Tomorrow is deemed not worthy and in "copyright" violation. It was quickly removed when it was uploaded properly. It would appear to us you have a close personal relationship to this subject matter, and long history editing the page to you own personal tastes. All others who challenge your edits are deemed disruptive vandals and repeatedly blocked by either yourself, or very quickly by another editor you contact to do the blocking, for you. There is no valid reason to allow a title card on the Assange World Tomorrow page, but not to allow a title card on the Armstrong World Tomorrow page. By your logic citing "copyright" the Assange title card does not fall under fair use either, and it should also be redacted. We have phoned Wikipedia Corporate offices to lodge complaints against you for your recent personal attacks, disruptive editing, and vandalism to the World Tomorrow (radio and television) pages. A teleconference is scheduled between us and the administrative office tomorrow. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.223.202.49 (talk) 03:31, 11 May 2016 (UTC)

Sir, You and your handful of sock puppets (yes you have multiple Wikipedia accounts) should just delete the article completely from Wikipedia. But know nothing you do can erase the facts of the Senator ordering the television program preserved into the National Archives of the Film and Television division of the United States Library of Congress. Nor can you delete the fact of our current and past program hosts. You cannot change these facts or the historical events of the Sadat White House State dinner, no matter how hard you've tried to delete it all and conceal it from this article. It has also been published in the monthly periodical The JOURNAL, by reporter and author Dixon Cartwright. We will be conducting a personal interview with Senator Dole regarding the preservation, after I see he and his wife Liz at the Republican National Convention. The Dole preservation interview will air on radio and television in an upcoming episode of The World Tomorrow!

Minnie DriverWhilst I understand the requirement to protect Wiki pages from malicious editing, I attempted to correct faulty information regarding only the birth place. Calling this 'unconstructive' or 'vandalism' is baseless and incorrect as the information was provided by the subject, on Twitter, a fact you don't wish to recognize or check for yourselves. I would suggest that a written statement (Twitter) by the subject as a Primary Source, would constitute sufficient evidence, esp. to satisfy the needs of Wikipedia, that certain information was bona-fide and irrevocable. So, yes, General Ization has made a mistake in not allowing the correction and no, I was not experimenting, although I am not in the habit of making amendments to Wiki pages. There is no edit war between editors, this is simply the moderators assuming that a potential edit is malicious and cannot be bothered to check the source. I really thought that making a correction to a flawed entry would be somewhat easier than it has turned out,so as it stands, the information contained on your webpage is incorrect, which ironically only enhances the reputation of Wikipedia as being an unreliable source of information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Herrbartlet (talk • contribs) 22:59, 9 May 2016 (UTC)

Doubles (Food)Why have the additions - photos and links to the Doubles (Food) page been undone? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalamazadkhan (talk • contribs) 21:23, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
Agreed. Point taken. But ... why delete the link to a newspaper piece on origin of this dish (the origin is mentioned in the original article). There was also a photo of the heir to the creator of this dish that was deleted. Also, the nature of the dish and the culture behind this street food are inextricably intertwined with HOW the dish is sold ... the Doubles Vendor. Hence the photo a the doubles vendor in his natural environment (the street) is essential. Without this itinerant food hero ... the Doubles would be meaningless. A Doubles is not some fast food sold in a sterile McDonald's type chain outlet. It is a product unique to the individual Doubles vendor. The condiments that are added to the Doubles are an indispensable part of the taste ... the flavour ... of this dish. There was a link to the preparation of the dish. Hope this clears up some of the misunderstanding of what the Doubles is and the space that it occupies in the culture of Trinidad and Tobago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kalamazadkhan (talk • contribs) 02:49, 1 July 2016 (UTC)

I Disagree with ur change bc u considered it 'not constructive.'In fact, I think it is highly 'constructive.' The primary issue in discussion about sex work is false beliefs, misconceptions & confusion caused by silence. Celebrities & other high profile figures involved in sex work is important help to shine a light on the reality of the issue. Removing this heading only continues to HIDE & further cloak this topic in silence, which exacerbates ignorance. Hiding & distorting information about the topic undermines the work of organizations around the world who are trying to change public policy. The gay rights movement would not have progressed without public figures coming out of the closet; or without hypocrites being outed. I think it's important to have a separate section to keep track of public figures' statements, opinions & activities related to the topic - as in any topic. The fact is, these incidents involving celebrities did occur - it is the truth & people should have a realistic, honest picture of the landscape. Removing the topic of 'public figures' is misleading. This is a common header in nearly any topic & this should not be treated differently. — Preceding unsigned comment added by S.pparkle (talk • contribs) 03:54, 9 August 2016 (UTC)

Patrick.net editsThank you for your message. I hear what you're saying. It's tough. I actually think it would be easier to do a Patrick Killelea page than a Patrick.net page... But I'm helping out as best I can with the material he gave me and the goal he has. One of the things I noticed is that a couple of threads by contributors on Patrick.net got picked up by Business Insider. So, I'm thinking that speaks to the kinds of quality threads you can find on the site, adding another dimension to the article that's about the site rather than Patrick, himself. And one is about general finance, which shows how the site has evolved into a broader forum than just a housing forum. I was also thinking that Patrick was interviewed several times on the whole rent-vs-buy calculation during the housing bubble, all refer to his crux of the message on the original site. He also has a book he wrote as a culmination of all the ideas that triggered Patrick.net. The book is called "The Housing Trap." It's a well written book. But, Patrick is the author. It has 42 reviews on Amazon. Would these be appropriate things to add to the Housing Bubble page? It would give us a reference back to the site's page that's relevant... Certainly relevant to Patrick... I just have to tie it to Patrick.net (it appears on the cover). I also wanted to thank you for reverting some of the edits. PatNet attracts all kinds, if you know what I mean. I was so relieved when you caught it. If it continues to be a problem, or you start feeling uncomfortable, for example, and you need additional background, I'm happy to explain on a more private channel, if such a thing exists on the Wiki platform. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Susannny (talk • contribs) 23:04, 29 August 2016 (UTC) Also, the articles I was suggesting for the housing bubble refer to Patrick.net as a site that an alternative news site "mainstream media not giving it to you straight," and a most popular housing bubble destination. To quote: He booted up his site, started to warn people there was a big bubble blowing in real estate and predicted prices could fall by 50%. Up until the bubble burst, many people thought he was nuts. Of course, we all know now he’s “crazy like a fox!” History has proven him spot on. His site (Patrick.net) gets more than 20,000 visitors a day. Recently, he put out another warning–telling people to rent and hold off buying.

Church affiliationAre you perhaps a former disinfranchasied disgruntled member, or current member of the WorldWide Church of God, known now by the name Grace Communion? Since you're a West Coast Californian, and thier formerly based in Pasadena, CA., I'm curious because you seem obsessed with personally controlling the content of this TV show Wikipedia page. And, are you aka WerldWayd and aka C.Fred? Very odd Barek, as you appear to have hijacked this article and you removed well sourced Senator Dole preservation section from this page, and from the Ted Armstrong Wikipedia page too. Very odd. Removing an entire sourced section makes it appear you feel somehow threatened by that fact, and well sorced content. Your answers and personal feelings aside, removing the section does not change the fact this show is preserved into the National Archives of the United States Library of Congress television and film division. The holdings run from 1972 through 1994. Your edit is wrong as you have it dated from '72 to '86. Bob Dole put the tapes in the library, I verified it with his secretary by phone. No Sunday preachers or other churches programs are in the Congress Library Archives. No Joel Osteen, no Billy Graham, no Pat Robertson, no John Hagee, no Joe Tkach Junior, no TBN shows, or other Sunday church leaders tv programs are stored in the U.S. Archives. Only Garner Ted Armstrong and his dad Herbert W. Armstrong hosting THE WORLD TOMORROW. And, Garner Ted Aukerman, Robert Downey, Jr's cousin, found the Garner Ted Armstrong World Tomorrow tapes Bob Dole preserved into the archive collection, by a fluke? As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating". You spend a great deal of time editing Wikipedia content and improving articles. Even on a national Holiday like Labor Day you were so busy editing Wikipedia. A day most take a break from working for a little R&R. But, in all these years of watching and editing this World Tomorrow page, you have not bother to included the program's title card photo like the title card photo uploaded for the Assange World Tomorrow Wikipedia page.

World TomorrowExtended confirmed protectionHello, Barek. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.

It appears they did so based on a mistaken and erroneous belief that the material was copyrighted by the Newburgh Museum [2]. First, the material on that site is released to the public domain under the Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 4.0 International. See the website's footer for proof. I know this is the case because I am a director with the Newburgh Museum and authored the material on that website which was used in the Wikipedia article. I authored it and allowed it to be posted on the museum's website solely on the condition that it could be used anywhere else, like Wikipedia. Therefore, the removal of my revisions were in error and I would kindly ask that you restore all of the edits.--YHoshua (talk) 03:19, 5 October 2016 (UTC)
Qumran CavesWhile I can't say I hoped for my edit to go unnoticed, I am curious to know in what way my addition was either untrue or irrelevant. As events regarding the Qumran Caves unfold in the media(especially ones that involve well-known people) they should be documented in the corresponding Wikipedia page.Shiftyrye27 (talk) 00:06, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
Two-Factor Authentication now available for adminsHello, Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right. It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best. If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC) Some issuesHi Sir I want to ask a question. I have made few contributions in wikipedia.

MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 22:08, 21 November 2016 (UTC) The World Tomorrow title card uploadRequest to upload the current corresponding program title card for this Wikipedia page, per user Barek talk page instructions as follows: For the title card, as I have stated in the past, if you can upload one appropriately, I can then assist inserting it into the article. The page being protected does not prevent uploading. First, it's important NOT to upload it to the Commons (where it has been uploaded in the past), that is a sister website to Wikipedia, and they have more stringent rules on copyright, for example, "Fair Use" of copyrighted content is not accepted over there - that is why prior uploads to Commons have been deleted by their admins.To upload, you were previously supplied with a link to WP:Files for upload and asked to follow the menus. I'll make it even simpler: if you have a logged-in account, from the prior link provided you can reach the Wikipedia:File Upload Wizard, fill out the fields, in section 3 select "This is a copyrighted, non-free work, but I believe it is Fair Use." - in the box that comes up, say it's for use at "The World Tomorrow (radio and television)", and select the option for "This is the official cover art of a work.", select the drop-down to say it's the "Title screen of a TV program" and fill in the remaining fields, then click "Upload".If you get a message in that process saying you are unable to upload the image directly over there, or you find it too convoluted to follow; but you already have a screenshot saved somewhere on the web that someone else can upload for you, one of the menu paths would also get you to the request form at this link; in the fields provided, provide the URL, say it is for fair-use, list the article where it is to be used, and any other requested data on that form - then save.As I said, once an image is uploaded correctly, I can assist with inserting it into the article. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:39, 9 September 2016 (UTC) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:THE_WORLD_TOMORROW.jpg Thank you. ---- worldtomorrowgta Worldtomorrowgta (talk) 06:30, 28 November 2016 (UTC Thank you, Barek! ---- worldtomorrowgta — Preceding unsigned comment added by Worldtomorrowgta (talk • contribs) 06:32, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Dollyparton7You tagged this userpage as a possible sock puppet, but never added it to the investigation page. Are you going to update the page, or just leave it? Just curious as this editor is harassing me for blocking one of their IPs. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 06:00, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

My protection statusThank you for the protection on my talk page. However, whoever this person is will return when it expires in a week. It has been this way for almost a year. Is it possible to extend it further to at least hold off on the inevitable vandalism coming up?TheGracefulSlick (talk) 01:11, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Belated Holiday Greetings! Barek
Frienship editionHi Barek, I am disappointed that my edition has been rejected. My edition contained the definition of "friendship" as defined in the Great Russian dictionary of Ozegov (the reference has been provided in the edition). You may wish to translate the definition to English. The original Wiki version did not contain the definition, neither there was any credible reference. It appeared rather speculative and shallow. My version also contained references to proverbs which is to demonstrate the meaning of the term in Russian tradition. While your message related to my violation of policies and marked as vandalism, I do not understand what in particular policy was violated. Can you provide a specific phrase which was deemed to violate the policy? regards — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.122.37 (talk) 02:30, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
