Attacking editors?

We also find that you are attacking known editors. Because you dont have this information within Wikipedia, I refer to the Wladyslaw Sikorski pages many are trying to add to. There has been information that is published both professionally in 2 books and solid evidence. Yet your stuborness to even acknowledge there are some references to his assassination. What tripe. We will try to get you removed. What rubbish are you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.30.102.218 (talk) 10:23, 20 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you have left me a message saying that I am attacking editors. What editor have I attacked? You left a link to writer D.M.Thomas page, but D. M. Thomas is not an editor here. The plagiarism is undisputed, and it is appropriate to say that in the article. Irishflowers (talk) 12:08, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thanks for the vigilance, but his terse inquiry was in regards to the argument we are currently having over the Vladivostok article. He has the right to ask, albeit his tone indeed leaves much to be desired, I have thick skin to mind that kind of crap :) Anyway, just letting you know that I restored his inquiry and removed the warning you placed on his talk page.

Somthing needs to be done about that user.

Despite me having given them 4 warnings and then reported them for vandalism they are still vandalising.

Wow, congrats on 'fixing' my 'vandalism' three seconds after it had been done, at 3:40 AM no less. Are you a ninja?

At any rate, what I did wasn't so bad. The movie itself is vandalism of a perfectly good series. They went as low as to attack Dragonball, as opposed to Dragonball Z, or even Dragonball GT (which nobody would've minded). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.176.8.211 (talk) 10:42, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

French for Chaplain

Hi. A chaplain is a 'chapelain' when the context is of a private chapel. You might notice that the french article for chapelain starts by saying "a chapelain or almoner is"; the distinction is rather blurry between the two. However, they are distinct entities (we have an article for the chaplain and an article for almoners), thus I thought it was better to keep that distinction.

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 17:56, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Lot (Biblical) Christian View

Hello there.... It appears that the 'Christian View' has been removed from the Lot (Biblical) page. It wouldnt be fair to have Jewish and Islamic views without a christian view. I believe that you had removed it... but I could be wrong. If you did remove it, could you simplify or capture something from the original to put back on the Lot page so there is at least a section for it? Or at least redo it.

Re: Arnold Resnicoff

Thank you for understanding! You are editing that page [but] with scissors, and, on the way, you lost three or four references. The following is still used in the article:

<ref name="LOC">Library of Congress Veterans History Project: Arnold Resnicoff collection, AFC/2001/001/70629, May 2010.</ref>

I was lucky enough to work a little bit on that article. It was (and still is) assessed as B-class unto three different WikiProjects: Biography, Judaism, and United States (and IMO it also belongs to Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history). If you have the time to spare I (and the whole Wikipedia community) would be extremely grateful if you could work on that article and nominate it at WP:GAN. Obviously I'm ready to help, whenever and wherever it is possible. I am pretty sure that in this way, the end result will be a step forward and not a step back.

Lot (biblical person)

Oops, I should have used a more fully-explained edit summary on that edit. I wasn't referring to User:StAnselm, who recently re-added that content, but to User:Leucosticte, who originally added it on July 1:[1] Leucosticte is a sockpuppet of the banned User:Sarsaparilla and has since been banned himself. As such, I don't think his contributions should be in the article; although if there's a consensus to nevertheless include that content, I'll accept it and won't object any further.

Massacre of the Innocents

I totally agree with the need to keep it balanced, however the current lead says it "was an episode", as if it actually happened, when in fact there's not a single credible source to confirm it, which is very heavily unbalanced. It's important for the lead to express such doubts, as people will often not read past the first sentence and form their opinions based on it. I'm open to alternative ways to express it, but I think "supposed" captures the fact it's only ever mentioned in a single religious text fairly accurately. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mathrick (talk • contribs) 09:06, 7 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As a historical source, Matthew is very much not a credible source, so yeah, wholesale :). I like the edit, putting emphasis on the biblical narrative part of it is a good idea. Thanks. mathrick (talk) 22:24, 8 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

DF-21

Springnuts - the reason I changed the DF-21 speed was because the speed listed was unfortunately ridiculous. I cannot source my estimate but Mach 10 to Mach 15 is at least ball-park for an Intermediate Range Ballistic Missile. 500knots is the speed that a subsonic sea-skimming cruise missile travels at. Not many people would be scared of ballistic missiles if they travelled at that speed. For reference to back up my comments, check out some other ballistic missiles like the Pershing II (Mach 9, 1800km range), Agni V, SS-12, SS-14 etc. You won't find any other ballistic missiles that slow.

Here's a reference:

Gilles Bernheim

Describing a religious figure as "a philosopher" is not unlike describing one as "a scientist". Like that of science, the rational tradition of philosophy can sometimes be at odds with a more mystical understanding of the world by religious thinkers. So some specific basis for assigning such descriptions to clergy is usually present. And that's usually in the shape of a degree.

Rabbi Bernheim's thinking seems to be mostly religious. His "Quarante Méditations Juives" for example was a religious work. And as far as I can tell, that he was thought to be an agrégé of philosophy is the reason Rabbi Gilles Bernheim was being termed "a philosopher" (including by that referenced article in the Forward). Since the revelations, I don't think he has been referred to as "a philosopher", at least not in the Le Monde article, nor in the Huffington Post one.

It's not that plagiarism "is enough to discount all his thinking". Plagiarism has nothing to do with any of this. "All his thinking" is not being attacked in any way. But we describe Gilles Bernheim as "a philosopher" before even as "a Rabbi". Why? Being a Rabbi is what he is know for. And we are talking about the chief Rabbi in France. So, I suggest that, if we need to introduce Gilles Bernheim as something other than "rabbi", the more general "author", instead of the very specific "philosopher", allows us to present a more accurate biography ... without in any way discounting his thinking. Alexscara (talk) 06:07, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, I appreciate it. But you've reversed my edits twice. That's enough from me. You should be the one to revert it back. Regards Alexscara (talk) 10:21, 28 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

We are still introducing Rabbi Bernheim primarily as "a philosopher", even though, while the rabbi part is certain, the "philosopher" part is uncertain to say the least. I don't care if was just you or you and somebody else. You explained that this was a "judgement" call. But if it is, not to be imposing my judgement on others requires consensus. I rectified it twice. It was changed back twice. Enough from me. Whoever it was that considered the correction incorrect is the one that needs to restore it. Cheers!

Hover like a fly

Not clear? Let me explain. The issue is the identifying all Hoverflys as Mk Is, which they weren't. (I'll confess, right offhand, I can't say how RAF broke out the Hoverfly mark numbers, but that's really not on point.) I'm also not impressed with the "I's": it's not a possessive, it's a plural. The confusion you seem to think will insue, IMO, is near zero, & doesn't warrant such a common (& wrong) use of apostrophe. Any further confusion? Do message me.

Your Reversion of my Edits.

Hi Springnuts, I saw you reverted my edit on Sucker Punch. Can you please explain why. It is confusing to have two ors in one sentence and in many forms of english such as that used in the UK and AUS wrong. I think a comma best represents it and is less confusing. Life200BC (talk) 06:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good evening and thank you for your friendly question. Fowler's "Modern English Usage" says "one of the first requisites for the writing of good clean sentences is to have acquired the art of enumeration, that is, of stringing together three or four words of phrases of identical grammatical value without going wrong. That cannot be done by blind observance of the rule of thumb that "and" and "or" should be used only once in a list." The awkwardness here is caused by the phrases in brackets. Could you clarify which alternatives belong to which language please? Then I think we can rewrite the sentence to be clear and elegant. Friendly regards, Springnuts (talk) 01:34, 30 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your response, I think coward punch, king hit or one-punch attack are the words used in Australia. I'm not sure about this so probably best to leave as is. Thanks for your explanation about why you reverted my edits. I now see that both ways have lots of flaws. Your time explaining this to me is very much appreciate.

Hello, I'm Paper9oll. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Boeing 787 Dreamliner have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse. Reason – The references you added is not for Boeing 787 but Boeing 777. Hence you should be adding it into Boeing 777 instead. — Paper9oll (📣 • 📝) 09:11, 22 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

This was the first I ever requested a 3rd, so I didn't know what to expect, thinking it would be more along the brief admin interactions I've had in the past. However I was fully blown away by the depth and care you took in trying to help. Not only did you look into the points discussed, you also went ahead and did your own search, as well as looking at the whole article itself.

Uk4u-Thanks! deletion?

I was wondering about deleting Uk4u-Thanks!. I am not on a crusade if you think it is notable just let me know for remove the notice. And if you did not make the page and do not care, well then you know what to do.

Proposed deletion of Uk4u-Thanks!

The article Uk4u-Thanks! has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This charity, now likely shut down, has a very low internet footprint even for what it purports to be. What little coverage it has seems to be in Daily Mail or similar. I do not think it is notable as an organisation.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Talk:Entheogen

Recap:

You removed material from Entheogen for no reason, but you claimed it was fringe
You were asked on the talk page to specify what was fringe
You said you weren’t going to edit war and you asked another editor to step in
That editor stepped in and said, and I quote, "I think it is better to discuss and reach consensus before removing longstanding material"
You ignored the advice from the editor you requested help from and resumed edit warring
You are again asked to join the discussion on the talk page.

I hope this helps. Viriditas (talk) 10:25, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear: "The burden is on Springnuts to explain why they removed sourced material. I have asked repeatedly and I have not yet seen a reply.”

I am not against removing material. I am against page blanking for no known reason. You might be able to drum up support for removing material (including my help), if you can explain what needs removing and why. Viriditas (talk) 10:38, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Also, consider how long humans have been using drugs. Now consider Neanderthals, which we have evidence of using drugs as long as 48,000 years ago. Now consider that their earliest settlement is dated to 125,000 years ago. Do you think, it’s just slightly possible, that after experimenting with drugs for so many thousands of years, a system of beliefs would be passed around over time? Think about it. Viriditas (talk) 12:03, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The point of Gazelle’s discussion on Talk:Entheogen is to mitigate and discuss the dispute before engaging in edits.

WP:AFC Helper News

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.

AFCH will now show live previews of the comment to be left on a decline.
The template {{db-afc-move}} has been created - this template is similar to {{db-move}} when there is a redirect in the way of an acceptance, but specifically tells the patrolling admin to let you (the draft reviewer) take care of the actual move.

Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way?

Standard ArbCom sanctions notice

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in gender-related disputes or controversies or in people associated with them.

Hello,

I have a Query. Is there a way retrieve the last version before deletion of this article for my reference. I am still working on this. Is there a way to go for deletion review?

Thanks Kbala1055 (talk) 15:29, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You can ask an admin to "userfy" the article to your own sandbox. FWIW the deletion was pretty convincing, so rather than go to deletion review I think it would be better to improve the article if you can, then re-create it. But it's not worth getting bent out of shape over the issue - there are 6,633,290 articles left on here and you can do good work on some of them :) Friendly regards, Springnuts (talk) 23:23, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy Griffith Thylacine search

Hi, I have to say I’m a bit bewildered as to why you’ve removed some content from the Jeremy Griffith page about his search of the thylacine on the basis of WP:UNDUE. It’s pretty clear UNDUE applies mainly where there are competing points of view, although the policy does include that “Undue weight can be given in several ways, including but not limited to the depth of detail…”.

The deleted material is only one and half sentences. It’s highly relevant to establishing Griffith’s notability and includes the interesting connection with Australian politician Bob Brown, who is well known here in Australia. It is supported by reliable sources. It meets WP:BLP. Griffith (and Malley’s ) search is included on the | Thylacine page.

Your edit summary is “Remove undue detail of fruitless search for an extinct animal”. If you have a look at the | Extinction section on the thylacine page, at the time of Griffith’s search in the late 60s and early 70s (which is only 30 odd years since the last captive thylacine died), it was not known if the animal was actually extinct or not. As the thylacine page makes clear, the thylacine held the status of endangered species until the 1980s, and was only “declared extinct by the International Union for Conservation of Nature in 1982 and by the Tasmanian government in 1986.” Reliable reports of Griffith's search show that the search was far from “fruitless” because it was the seminal empirical study that formed the basis of the now-accepted view that the thylacine is in fact extinct.

So I can’t see that there’s anything in UNDUE or any other policy to justify the deletion of this material, so I’ve undone the edit. Spinifex&Sand (talk) 07:06, 11 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2024

Your recent editing history at Russian destroyer Admiral Levchenko shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

WP:Contentious topics, Russo-Ukrainian War and Russian destroyer Admiral Levchenko

Introduction to contentious topics

You have recently edited a page related to Eastern Europe or the Balkans, a topic designated as contentious. This is a brief introduction to contentious topics and does not imply that there are any issues with your editing.

A special set of rules applies to certain topic areas, which are referred to as contentious topics. These are specially designated topics that tend to attract more persistent disruptive editing than the rest of the project and have been designated as contentious topics by the Arbitration Committee. When editing a contentious topic, Wikipedia’s norms and policies are more strictly enforced, and Wikipedia administrators have special powers in order to reduce disruption to the project.

Within contentious topics, editors should edit carefully and constructively, refrain from disrupting the encyclopedia, and:

adhere to the purposes of Wikipedia;
comply with all applicable policies and guidelines;
follow editorial and behavioural best practice;
comply with any page restrictions in force within the area of conflict; and
refrain from gaming the system.

Editors are advised to err on the side of caution if unsure whether making a particular edit is consistent with these expectations. If you have any questions about contentious topics procedures you may ask them at the arbitration clerks' noticeboard or you may learn more about this contentious topic here. You may also choose to note which contentious topics you know about by using the {{Ctopics/aware}} template.
