Fifth Harmony

I didn't remove any content from the girl group I just added on to it. Someone else however deleted my comment about Lauren Jauregui being bisexual and it was in fact sourced I just re added it back that's all! Welcometothenewmillennium 8:55, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

In this edit you removed content; in this edit you added unsourced content. Please, next time, add content cited with reliable sources; and don't remove content that contains the latter. Thank you, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 08:00, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

That was not me your mistaken me for another user? Also just check it I already sourced it was sourced before I just forgot to re source because someone took it down and then I added it back up and it's factual information she is bisexual! Welcometothenewmillennium 4:50, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

No, if Welcometothenewmillenium is your account (which it is) than those edits are your edits. Also, please stop adding content (especially regarding biographies) that is cited to gossip sites; WikiAnswers; Blogs; or other fan sites. Biographies must always have reliable sources (news paper articles; books; etc.) —MelbourneStar☆^talk 08:10, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

The comment that was made about Lauren Jauragui being bisexual was on their fan page website OfficalFifthHarmony but yes I will not do that anymore. I will also let you know that I'm not trying to do any harm here! Welcometothenewmillennium 22:50, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

I know you're not trying to do any harm here; I'm sure your intention is to improve the article - however, we do have a few procedures to follow, that's all. I'll be able to help you out, if you need anything. Thanks, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 01:37, 6 May 2013 (UTC)

Re-MelbourneStar

what is the thing you deleted ? and I just want you to realllly do you research about Katy Perry's sales thanks 77.44.232.141 (talk) 10:42, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi,

Could you please be more specific to what I have deleted? and also, the onus is on you to do the research for facts/figures relating to Katy Perry; not me, considering it's you who I assume wants to add content to the article. Thank you, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 10:46, 5 May 2013 (UTC)

Serbia

You are not citizen of Republic of Serbia therefore you have no right to question what citizens of country editing If you like that flag you can take it with you editing the state flag of Republic of Serbia should not be question to you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lfks4691 (talk • contribs) 07:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

If you remove the flag again, without stating a valid reason as to why - I'll have no choice but to report you here and you may lose your editing privileges. So, my advice to you, would be don't disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point, and please remember that you don't own any articles. On Wikipedia you follow Wikipedia policies, and you don't remove things because you don't like them. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 07:38, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

20's Plenty for Us

Dear Melbourne Star I am Campaign Manager of 20's Plenty for Us. I linked to the official page of 20's Plenty for Us as allowed in the citation guide What can normally be linked [edit]Shortcut: WP:ELYES 1.Wikipedia articles about any organization, person, website, or other entity should link to the subject's official site, if any. See Official links below. Please would you allow the edits that I did and revert them back. Thank you Anna Semlyen anna.s@20spelntyforus.org.uk — Preceding unsigned comment added by Annasemlyen (talk • contribs) 13:39, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Anna, and welcome to Wikipedia!

For two reasons I'm afraid that I'm going to have to err on this request. Firstly - as the Campaign Manager of 20's Plenty for Us, you have identified a key issue here: conflict of interest - please read this before editing that particular article again.

Secondly, although links to official sites are permitted - they must only be used in the External links section of an article, per WP:SPAM.

If you need anything else, please feel free to ask! (I'm off to bed - I'll be on in 10 hours time!) —MelbourneStar☆^talk 14:06, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

I woke up this morning

THUMBS UP AWARD

and discovered your work undoing vandals at three different articles on my watchlist, which suggests to me that there were many more that had not shown up there. Wikipedia can only maintain its standards with folks such as you, out in the trenches everyday, doing this sort of work. You are noticed and appreciated. So for that (and more) you have been awardd the seldom coveted THUMBS UP AWARD. It is a very small way of saying "Thank you." Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 16:33, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Carptrash! definately means a lot! —MelbourneStar☆^talk 23:08, 7 May 2013 (UTC)

Tarakany! article and reverting of my editing

My edits of article Tarakany! are fully constructive since it's my favourite band. You reverted my edits. Can you tell why? It's not a vandalism, but improvement of the article! --46.188.16.150 (talk) 09:38, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Just because they are your favourite band - does not make your edits constructive. Although they didn't appear to be constructive - are they translations? if so - where are the translations from? —MelbourneStar☆^talk 09:42, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

"Попкорм. Мы научили мир сосать" is translated in the article as "Popcorm". You may enter the rest of the phrase (мы научили мир сосать) into Google Translate from Russian to see that I'm right and it is really translated as "We taught this world to suck". About "А мы уже рубим" (And we already played). First of all, the verb "рубим" is the PRESENT form of the verb "рубить", which direct meaning is to crack wood in pieces using an axe, so the translation "played" is incorrect because the time of the web is wrong. The indirect meaning of this Russian word used in the album title is to hard play rock music, I can't describe it more accurately. I think that this kind of translation describes the album title to English-speaking users more accurately. You've got completely mad about vandalism, and two minor changes resulted in a pagedown of complains and justifications, completely eliminating my wish to make future contributions to English Wikipedia. WBR, Kirill A Sarksyan. --46.188.16.150 (talk) 10:25, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

You could have used an edit summary to properly describe what you were doing, however, didn't. I actually had removed those "pagedown" 'complaints', because I actually agree with you - but, if you want this small issue to decide whether you edit here again or not, then so be it, no one will stop you from leaving. Have a nice day, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 10:31, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

As I see, I'm allowed to make my edits. Punk you and have a hard rock day. ^_^ --46.188.16.150 (talk) 10:47, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Aha... Apologies too, if things got off on the wrong foot. If there's anything you need, feel free to ask. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 10:53, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi - I was in the middle of editing. Ernie Winchester is my father, and he died yesterday. I do not understand what kind of verifiable source you want to prove that.

Saratoga High School

Barnaclejones (talk · contribs) is a user most of whose activities seems to be removing the rape case references. He removed a section about the topic, claiming it had "poor" grammar, and also removed an external link claiming it was irrelevant. It is possible to invoke NPOV here? --Article editor (talk) 21:07, 9 May 2013 (UTC)

Their continuous removal of said content without proper discussion, equates to disruptive editing - if they remove the sourced content, again, I'd go for gold at WP:AIV. Regards, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 05:09, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

Fernão de Loronha

If you want to help Wiki why don't you straighten out the page on Fernao de Loronha that is filled with incredibly stupid assertions made by someone who really doesn't know the sources or the literature. I have indicated these in the article itself to be sure that they are noted. Wiki is really quite hopeless when it has to confront real experts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.2.2.45 (talk) 21:01, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

If you want to help Wikipedia, I suggest you take a good hard look at this much needed advice (policy) before editing anything again - because if you keep making those same edits, you won't be able to edit again. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 03:13, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Aziz Shavershian

Obviously I am going to have to add something to the talk page guidelines about not having a conversation. I noticed that you said "Would renaming this article to Death and life of Aziz Shavershian according to the Media satisfy you? rhetorical question" and it was answered (rhetorical questions do not require an answer). In consensus decision making, comments are always directed to the group, so a better question would have been "Would renaming this article to Death and life of Aziz Shavershian according to the Media be better? rhetorical question." I am not sure that would not still have elicited an answer, but at least it would have been directed to the group, instead of just to one person. Consensus decision making has been around for 400 years, and comments are never directed to a participant, but only to the group. Even reprimands are always directed to the group (in a group discussion) and never directed to the offending party (the assumption being that all of us could have done that, and all of us are reminded). Parliamentary decision making has the same rule – all discussion is solely directed to the moderator (called moderator, speaker, chair, etc.) Apteva (talk) 14:10, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Apteva,

Thank you for your concern - however, I'll note that the particular suggestion I made was more 'tongue in cheek' directed to the creator of the particular discussion, Ryulong, and that it has a specific purpose; highlight the flaws in his argument that ultimately the media turned Shavershian notable, and that they focused more on his death rather his life etc. I'm sure anyone can see that my whole contention is simple, as demonstrated by the sentences proceeding that comment.

On Ryulong actually replying to that comment (despite me specifically saying it's a rhetorical question; and me also citing that I wouldn't be arguing any further) is perhaps something you should take up with him, rather me. That comment was part of a paragraph (as a whole) - he chose to only reply to that specific comment, doing so in spite of WP:FORUM. Thanks, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 14:36, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Right. But the point I was making is that in consensus decision making as well as in parliamentary (how many times have I heard "members will take their conversations off the floor" on Cspan?) there are no conversations to and about participants – all conversation is solely directed to the group. Both types of decision making adopt that rule because it works, and directing comments to and about individuals does not work, and is counterproductive even. Apteva (talk) 14:51, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

That may be so - however he was replying to my comment. Different story if he created his own comment/statement and not replying to anyone. But that wasn't the case here. When one replies to a comment, that generally means a separate and more focused discussion ensues (related to the topic, of course). —MelbourneStar☆^talk

All I can say to that is that two wrongs do not make a right. All of us are interested in the issue, and while it is a narrowing of the focus, for example if the discussion is about numbers, and someone brings up odd numbers, or numbers in the range of 10 to 15, that narrows the discussion, but it is still a discussion that should be directed to the group, not to an individual, so that all of us are encouraged to weigh in, not just that one participant. Apteva (talk) 15:39, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

Apteva - I thank you for your concern, but I believe it's misplaced and trivial. My comment was contextual, relevant, and by all means necessary. It was indented, so that would imply it was in reply to a one editor - not a group.

Ryolong's comment was also directed to myself, as it was indented and tried to answer the (unanswerable) question. Whilst I don't see why he would answer the rhetorical question, instead of replying to my whole argument - I don't see how addressing the whole forum issue to someone who has a clear understanding of the relevant policy, (rather someone who broke it) is at all productive. So lets consider this absolutely trivial discussion, closed. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 15:58, 11 May 2013 (UTC)

WTF

I set up the token coin page on Wikipedia over five years ago.

I have been collecting token coins for over 40 years - idiots who know nothing delete relevant info and (because I love my hobby) I correct the errors here.

Now you are telling me you know more than me about this subject ... I heard that Wikipedia was a load of crap now I have no doubt it is.

If you attack an editor again, as you did here, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Also, if you actually bothered to see this, you'd know that I haven't edited that article at all; so get your facts right, too. "It's your comments posted that give this system which could have tremendous merit a bad name." - yeah, ditto. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 10:41, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for watching out for my user and user talk page and reverting vandalism. I have been offline for almost an entire day so it would have sat there. You and user Howicus both caught this. It is amazing that some vandals are so jaded that they will vandalize the user pages of anyone who catches them. This vandal had received only one warning. Usually someone will quit or at most try it again later. One wonders about the thought process, if any, here. Donner60 (talk) 01:54, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

stop deleting my new information on list of countries by population. if you go on the source you got your information from, you will realise it has updated, so your info is old. please change it to the current or i will...thanks Andreasyiangoumelbourne (talk) 10:43, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi Andreasyiangoumelbourne and welcome to Wikipedia,

There were two issues with your first two content changes to the List of countries by population article - 1. you removed content without an edit summary and 2. you added unsourced content.

Your third edit hasn't been reverted - because you addressed the second issue, in regards to sources. Please, however, tread carefully next time when removing content; using an edit summary goes a long way.

If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask. Thank you, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 10:52, 23 May 2013 (UTC)

Oh, right, why don't you go revert the last diff by Bishonen there? It's no different from mine. I'd better create me a "You just assumed bad faith there" template, and it won't be pretty.

Why was my edit reversed on Nossal High School? We placed information about next years school captain and the changes in vice principal that have occurred as of late.

I agree. User:MelbourneStar is a hindrance to Wikipaedia.

"Plus One" to the sentiment expressed in "Reverted edit", above. Who are you, "MelbourneStar"? (By that, I mean "Who on Earth do you THINK you are?") I am ashamed to read that you are (allegedly) Australian. If you could not understand the glaringly obvious absence of an accurate example of the most common usage of the exclamation "FULL STOP" in spoken English on the "full stop" page, then you are NOT from my Australia. Undo your hasty vandalism to that page, please. I'm not here to WASTE MY TIME.
