Edit Wikipedia Page - Arctic

Hi,

I recived a few days ago messages from you about my changes to Arctic SA page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_S.A.):

Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Arctic S.A.  with this edit, without explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, the removed content has been restored. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. —MelbourneStar☆talk 07:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Arctic S.A.. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. —MelbourneStar☆talk 07:20, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Warning icon Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to violate Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy by adding commentary and your personal analysis into articles, as you did to Arctic S.A. with this edit, you may be blocked from editing. —MelbourneStar☆talk 07:40, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

I want to update information because I am involved in Arctic activity and I guarantee this information are updated and accurate about the company. Can you please help me to make this changes and tell me what are the steps?

Hi @Adrian bucuresti: welcome to Wikipedia!

I've had to undo a lot of your edits on the Arctic S.A. article, as it contained a lot of promotional material seemingly advertising the subject of the article. I'll pin-point some of the concerns I have, and I'll also suggest what you can do to assist with your editing:

• This edit, for example, contains material that appears to be unsourced (ie. there are no reliable sources cited to verify the content). If you were to add such content to the article, it will need to include verifiable reliable sources which are independent of Arctic S.A. (and therefore more likely to be neutral).
• The latter edit, is also written in a non-neutral point of view. In Wikipedia articles, it is important that content is written in a neutral point of view in order to avoid biasness, and adveritising/promotion. If you are closely connected to the subject of the article, it may be best you read this before you proceed to editing said article.
• Please ensure the content you are adding to the article is written in your own words and not copy and pasted, especially without permission.
• Whilst a small issue, it is still important to always use edit summaries, in order to explain your edits adequately.

I hope this answers your questions!

All the best, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 03:25, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Parramatta and Sydney

How about you using your head a little bit? Clarification is not needed. Everyone I spoke to knows Sydney as the city, the state capital and not the Downtown area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.154.89.30 (talk) 14:06, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

@59.154.89.30: Everyone you spoke to = original research, a big no-no on Wikipedia. Parramatta is in Sydney's metro – not CBD the difference is pretty big, and putting them in the same category is careless.

How about you try and be civil instead of not assuming good faith? Hope Santa got you those virtues for Christmas! —MelbourneStar☆^talk 07:08, 25 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your wishes and i hope Santa got you a new pair of glasses. You started to revert my edits first ;). As for the article, I'm sure you recall that i wrote Sydney and not Sydney CBD. Intact if you go to the Sydney disambiguation page, you will that Sydney refers to the whole city and not the CBD. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.154.89.30 (talk) 15:23, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Actually, it was your edit that prompted the edit war in the first place, so if you want to play the blame game, get your mirror out. That needs clarification, because if you bothered checking List of tallest buildings in Sydney you would know that article refers to buildings in Sydney's CBD – not metropolitan. Hence why the clarification on the Parramatta article is warranted. Of course, the value of 'forethought' can be next year's present from Santa? now please find something productive to do other than being incredibly uncivil – yes, that translates to: please stay off my talk page.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

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.

Bishop/airport screening incident

Hi MelbourneStar,

The incident that took place at Melbourne Airport is significant in the sense that one of the Government ministers got directly involved in an action conducted by airport security. The story was reported by several newspapers in Australia and abroad. The power to investigate acts done or omitted by authority with respect to matter of administration is not, if I am not mistaken, one given to any minister. For this reason, it appears that some of the Government members wrongly took actions, which resulted in the suspension of security staff. Hence, as the discomfort felt by Ms Bishop for being subjected to security screening is the origin of the Ministry's intervention, it is absolutely relevant that reports of the incident would be found on her page. I would appreciate if you could stop deleting it as it is not trivial when it comes to the respect of administrative authority by government members, an essential element of any functional state. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.234.159.65 (talk) 09:36, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

@212.234.159.65: you may discuss this incident here – as I'm not the only editor who disagrees with its inclusion (and still very much do). Bishop's response to the matter is unclear; she has not been reprimanded in any shape or form; and lastly: the security staffer was suspended (a staffer whom is not notable anyway). Stop including said content in article, until you discuss and reach consensus on the article's talk page for its inclusion. Regards, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 09:46, 30 December 2015 (UTC)

Received a message from you saying i edited Ivan Milats wiki page, i have no recollection of this, i saw that the edit was "he farted then shit on a bench", anyway i wasn't even logged in to Wikipedia so i don't know how you sent me a message. If you're 100% sure it came from this computer then i apologise, for either a friend must of done it or i did it a very long time ago, anyway thanks for making the edit. Actually now seeing that it was in may, no i didnt do it.

Hillary Clinton Email Controversy

The edit's I made on the Hillary Clinton Email Controversy page, was not defamatory or speculation. I clearly cited my sources, and while she has not yet gone to court, this is what she is being accused of, and these are the laws she may or may not have broken. I am not a vandal, and trying to censor the truth is wrong. I don't care whether you feel she is guilty or not, this is what she is accused of. Innocent until guilty am I right? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ekiph (talk • contribs) 23:34, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

@Ekiph: You are operating under a few assumptions: namely – that Clinton is the subject of the probe, instead of the State department's handling of classified content; that Clinton has been charged, that Clinton is before a court, and should she be found guilty she will be convicted. That's 5 different assumptions, all speculation and completely unsourced and an absolute violation of our WP:BLP policy, specifically WP:PUBLICFIGURE – where you are unable to find any reliable 3rd party sources (yes, that does exclude Fox News and any other conservative media outlets that already has a set opinion and is not reliable). Cease this, otherwise I will report you for said violations. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 03:07, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Safe deposit boxes

Hi, I got your message regarding safe deposit boxes, which is the correct term. The misuse of safety deposit boxes comes from people mishearing safe deposit ...when run together, it sounds like safedeposit, but the brain will reconstruct to safety deposit. A safe deposit box is a deposit box kept in a safe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.156.226.197 (talk) 03:04, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Hi,

I think that is best to be discussed here — rather than within the article itself, as it seems inapropriate to confuse the readers by saying in the lead sentence: "X, incorrectly known as Y". Hence, please discuss said edit on the article talk page. Best, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 04:14, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

ADA v ACC

Dude.

Sorry. I didn't mean to insult other editors, I just wanted to inform them that Wikipedia is not censored. There can be swear words throughout the encyclopedia, but they will not be removed unless they are irrelevant to the article. I was a bit too self-demonstrating of swear words in my summary. However, my edit was good-mannered. Zakawer (talk) 17:09, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

@Zakawer: Your edit was certainly appropriate, granted. But it was your edit summary which was ill-mannered. The editor you reverted is a new user, and swearing at people (new or not) and name-calling is just not the atmosphere we want to uphold on this project. Your edit could have still managed the same good, without the added name-calling. Nevertheless: good on you for taking responsibility. Wish you all the best, —MelbourneStar☆^talk 08:16, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Oh, and I was not trying to insult the editor, I was trying to explain that editors shouldn't censor swear words on Wikipedia. Therefore, I became too self-demonstrating in my summary, if not too insulting, man. Zakawer (talk) 09:19, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
