The Accounts (Not IPs) will be blocked indefinite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KYR SMARTER (talk • contribs) 23:50, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Compassion

Hi,

I do not understand how my edit was not constructive. I took a statement that was indeed false, corrected it, and substantiated it with facts. The reason for editing the statement is because not only is it completely unfounded but the user who added that information clearly did so in an attempt to defame the religion. Just reading it you can tell it is a ridiculous claim they are making. Laws in a religion have nothing to do with compassion. If a person is guilty of treason in most states, he is put to death. I demonstrated how this is true by saying in Islam the most important person to honor and be kind to after your immediate family is your neighbor whether Muslim or not. I think this clearly shows that Islam not only "recommends" but commands a Muslim to show something even more than compassion to non-Muslims. It is a clear myth that people in the modern-era, more specifically in the West, like to portray Islam as barbaric and lacking compassion for others. It takes but a mere few minutes to do a search and you can find unbiased writings about Islam by true historians who happen to be Christian Westerners to find the truth about Islam. But few people truly understand.

    • EDIT: I also know that your ability to rollback is for blatant vandalism only. I will give you a moment to review your actions before I proceed.

@108.217.85.62:, Hi IP user, I marked your edits as vandalism because you removed cited content and added un-sourced content. Wikipedia has a strict policy against controversial materials those aren't cited properly. Adding of uncited but controversial matter can be also considered as vandalism.If you have a trustworthy source to prove that your content is accurate, you're welcome to add them back. Articles related to religions are often vandalized, so even a small mistake can be marked as vandalism. I hope you'll understand my point.--Chamith (talk) 05:48, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Regarding Animax Asia

Hello Chaminth, I'm not sure why you had felt to undid some edits I did on Animax Asia. All I did was add the current slogan of the network, replacing the old ones. I'm not where are you from but I'm from Maldives, where the channel is available, so I personally know this. This is also why I added the cable operator for the network in the country. I'm not sure why you felt it needed to be removed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thuthu77 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@Thuthu77: , I undid it because at first it seemed like vandalism. The slogan, of course, sounds weird because it's not in English. It took me a while to realize that you've done those edits in good faith. I'm sorry that I undid your edits. I will remove my warning on your talk page. Cheers--Chamith (talk) 02:18, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for understanding. Although it sounds weird, it is the current slogan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thuthu77 (talk • contribs) 11:12, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Werner Naumann

Curious as to why you edited my change to the page on Werner Naumann? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.139.222 (talk) 11:42, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Continued: Yes, I think you made a mistake. My name is Guy Walters, I am a historian, I am writing a PhD on Naumann, and I've publicly asserted that I dispute a fact on wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.139.222 (talk) 11:45, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@86.138.139.222: Hi, I undid your edit because it violates Wikipedia's external links policy. Twitter links should not be added to the body of an article. You maybe experienced in history but there are certain policies on Wikipedia as it is an encyclopedia. I'd be grateful if you contribute without violating them. Cheers! Chamith (talk) 11:48, 8 October 2014 (UTC)


Under that policy you referred me to, it says that Twitter can sometimes be used as a reliable source. A tweet by myself, a historian and expert on Naumann, on the subject of Naumann is a reliable source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.139.222 (talk) 11:52, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

So could we therefore use my tweet as a source rather than as a link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.139.222 (talk) 11:54, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Under that policy you referred me to, it says that Twitter can sometimes be used as a reliable source. A tweet by myself, a historian and expert on Naumann, on the subject of Naumann is a reliable source.

Indeed! you can,and you were right about using twitter links as a source (SOMETIMES!),But you have to put twitter links within <ref> tags,But you didn't do that,what you previously did was adding a twitter link to the body,(what you added wasn't a source).Sources are tagged with references tags.You can learn how to cite Wikipedia by reading this.--Chamith (talk) 11:57, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
Furthermore, if it's a tweet by you then please don't add it, because it violates WP:CONFLICT policies. Instead let someone else do it, Wikipedia only accept content which are trustworthy and accurate. Happy editing--Chamith (talk) 12:01, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello, Thanks for quick response to my ext links edit. I red carefully the wiki guide lines. Can you tell me why my link does not suit the wiki policy ? Thanks. Nic — Preceding unsigned comment added by Varieto (talk • contribs) 14:35, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@Varieto: Hello Varieto,I removed your link firstly because it's a link rot which means a dead link (go check,here is what you added-
[url=http://www.melodiumstudio.com/ Melodium Studio - Nicolas Dufournet]
and secondly it may seems that link leads to a website of a specific music company/industry.So it might tagged as promotional content as well.Wikipedia is not a place where you can add links to get more views or anything like that.I hope you will understand my points.If you think it's not promotional (I'll check if you add the correct link) then it won't be removed from wikipedia,Cheers and happy editing--Chamith (talk) 14:43, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Companies based in Kuantan

Dear Sir,

We have taken time to think about your action. After careful thought, you are obviously acting on some agenda.

The page is about companies in Kuantan. As such, any companies addressed in Kuantan can be listed on it. Your action is inexcusable, and we hope you will not edit it again. Otherwise, we could also use your logic and delete all the companies.

Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hinghow (talk • contribs) 15:05, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@Hinghow: Hello Hinghow if you are contributing to articles related to you or your own interests then you have clearly violated Wikipedia Policies. As it has stated on WP:CONFLICT editing that involves receiving financial compensation from a person or organization to use Wikipedia to promote the interests of that person or organization is prohibited. Please don't violate Wikipedia rules or you will be blocked from editing.--Chamith (talk) 15:14, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
P:S-Addition of names of companies( with relevant sources to prove it's credibility) is OK, but adding external links that leads to a company's website is definitely a violation of policies. Please don't use Wikipedia for promoting your company, it's not the right place to do so.--Chamith (talk) 15:24, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

error to Cyclops and accurate description of dragons

The cyclops belong only to the Mediterranean..and the oldest description of the dragons is that of Homer.--151.19.122.49 (talk) 15:09, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Hey, do you have verifiable sources to prove your statement? If so please cite them in article when adding info. You can learn how to site here. Otherwise please don't add your information. Because readers must be able to confirm whether details are coming from a trustworthy sources--Chamith (talk) 15:14, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
ok sources --151.18.235.113 (talk) 15:35, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Removing Edits, "Law" Page

Dear ChamithN,

Can you please substantiate your reasons for removing content edited on page Law?

I understand Wikipedia has a variety of policies related to content, so if you are to remove material that you believe infringes these policies please provide reasons or support from the policy pages.

Hopefully this may facilitate discussion on competing views as to whether the content should stand and allow users to rectify content that may have been inappropriately cited/substantiated.

I am clear on what Wikipedia is not, but am not clear on what you consider to have been transgressed by my edit.

Thank you!

Hrdutschmann1 (talk) 17:38, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@Hrdutschmann1: Hey Hrdutschmann1, there are two reasons for removal of your content. Here goes,

  • You removed maintenance tags in that article, maintenance tags are vital part of Wikipedia.
  • You removed the content from the without explaining why, and you added content which are unsourced.(i.e :You changed the word "civil law" to "private law",But why?), providing a good explanation for your changes is a good habit.

Anyway thank you for your edits, I know you are trying to improve Wikipedia. Cheers and happy editing--Chamith (talk) 17:44, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@ChamithN: Hey Chamith, thanks for the quick reply. I will take your advice on board and possibly review changes that need to be made to that page tomorrow. I understand the need to "provide a good explanation for [my] changes" ... Thank you for your own edits, I will be clearer about my intentions in future. Best wishes --Hrdutschmann1 (talk) 18:07, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Moved discussion

Hello again! I think it is better to discuss matters, if you want to say anything further, on this talk page instead of on Yunshui's page. :) It is always easy to feel sorry for someone when you do not know the whole story. MF was able to edit on his own talk page at first, but since he abused that by spamming others from his page, he was blocked there as well. Not at my request, just by the rules of the WP. I would have answered him earlier had I been on WP, but as I said I am not constantly logged on. And I am not saying that Yunshui doesn't deserve his barnstar, of course he does, I just wanted him to know what MF was up to. That is all. Best, w.carter-Talk 18:36, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

@W.carter: Yeah I totally understand your point, though I can't understand how he got in touch with so many admins and skilled editors like you, within a small period of time. I mean he is new to Wikipedia, he has been around only for two weeks. --Chamith (talk) 18:44, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
No he has not. He has been here much longer. He creates an account, starts editing and then does something bad, gets caught and promise never to do so again. Then he goes an starts up a new account and does it all again. Repeat. And during this time he also creates other accounts who vandalizes, just so he can go and revert it from his usual account so that he can get praised for doing something good. That is what his socks are about. That is actually the saddest part. So he has had plenty of time to get to know about a lot of people here. w.carter-Talk 18:54, 8 October 2014 (UTC)
