We're u able to view what I changed. It has nothing to do with sources. I'll explain to you what I did and you can give me your thoughts on being right or wrong. Thanks for your help. 11:23, 2 July 2015 (UTC)71.123.51.67 (talk)

I found these changes to the article mentioned here. The user who reverted your changes, Dennis Bratland, will provide better insight; you should discuss your changes with him in the article's talk page order to come to a consensus. Looking at the talk page, it appears that you are already in a discussion regarding your proposed changes. I recommend keeping the discussion there so that others can easily add insight. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 11:32, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

Oshwah,
Thanks for helping me out. My account was finally unblocked this morning.
Best of luck! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dineshsanil (talk • contribs) 07:51, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Dineshsanil. You're very welcome. I'm glad that I was able to assist you and point you in the right direction. Please don't hesitate to message me again if you run into any more questions. Happy editing! ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 18:25, 3 July 2015 (UTC)

2 more questions for my favorite editor...

Hi Oshwah:
Thank you for taking the time to respond to my questions. I don't know what kind of satisfaction /pleasure you derive from editing but I really appreciate the fact that you take time out of your busy schedule to provide help for people like me. So, thank you for your good deeds!

I have 2 more questions for you:
Firstly, my old account was blocked which had the username "Shriyais."
ShriyaIS is the name of my company so now whenever someone types ShriyaIS in Google, the old blocked Wikipedia page shows up.
What can I do to make this message go away? It reflects poorly on my company and I would prefer clients not to be able to see the blocked Wikipedia page.
Secondly, my company created a blockbuster product called mylegalnet.com which is a Facebook for clients, lawyers & judges. It was created to disrupt the Indian legal industry.
The product is launching later this month so there aren't any 'verifiable published sources' on it nor are there any press-releases yet. Can I get someone to do a write-up about mylegalnet.com and publish it to Wikipedia? They are free to test-drive mylegalnet.com and access all the features.
Please get back to me at your earliest convenience.

Hi, Dineshsanil. Sorry for the delay returning your message; I've been on vacation and just got back. Thanks for the kind words :-) - I'll be happy to answer your additional questions as best as I can.
It appears that the userspace of your old username has been deleted. It also appears that you've followed policy by going through the correct procedures by requesting an unblock of your account and having the username changed (instead of creating another account). If what I am seeing is true, then I'm glad that you've done this; creating another account instead of going through the proper procedures would have been a highly discouraged action. I may not be able to answer your questions regarding Google and its search engine algorithms here (those are events that occur outside Wikipedia), but I can offer assistance with Wikipedia itself, such as advice regarding your old username, creating Wikipedia pages regarding your company and products, any any other questions regarding Wikipedia and its Policies.
One reason why Wikipedia discourages the creation of accounts containing your legal name or company is due to unintended consequences that may come as a result (such unintended consequences include harassment and "outing", as well as what you are observing with searching for your company on Google). Such usernames allow this to occur much easier than others, and (depending on what occurs) there may be nothing that Wikipedia can do to resolve it. To summarize, the Username Policy exists for a reason and ultimately for your benefit and protection. They don't exist in order to ruin your day or show authority. They're actually there to help make your Wikipedia experience a pleasant one.
New content must meet Wikipedia's Notability and Verifiability guidelines. You should read those policies before asking others to create and write content. And remember, others (due to your recent history) may also view your request as a conflict of interest; it's a loose guideline and Wikipedia's policies are up for others to interpret by principle and use common sense to assert. If it were me, I'd definitely establish your recent history and your request as a conflict of interest (even despite the fact that you've used proper procedure to have your account unblocked and changed). The best advice I can give to you is to abstain completely from getting involved with any such personal/promotional matters. To provide examples about myself: I do not make any edits nor do I participate in any discussions to articles that involve my place of employment, where I went to college, the city I grew up in, or any other article that would compromise my ability to edit within a neutral point of view. Even injecting myself in discussions about such articles in which I have personal involvement with can be seen as a conflict of interest to other editors.
I hope that my response points you in the correct direction. Please know that you are more than welcome to follow-up with any additional questions that you may have. Good to meet you again, and happy editing! ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 02:59, 9 July 2015 (UTC)

Marisa Anderson

I've removed your speedy tag on Marisa Anderson because the article does not meet A7. Although there are no sources, there are claims that the musician's work was in magazines and that she has released CDs under record labels. I'd prefer to give the creator a chance to add some sources, but you can propose for deletion if you feel it's required. Agtx (talk) 20:40, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Agtx. Thanks for removing the CSD template. I went back through the article and, yeah... that was a bad nomination on my part. It totally doesn't meet A7 because the article asserts significance. I guess it's one of those days... Again, thanks for removing and for letting me know. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 20:45, 10 July 2015 (UTC)

it is not notable and should be deleted because who the fuck cares about some dumb subreddit for losers50.24.23.141 (talk) 07:02, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

There is a proper process regarding the deletion of articles from Wikipedia, such as Wikipedia's speedy deletion, proposed deletion, and articles for deletion criterion. Your edit here was not in compliance with these processes and is considered vandalism, which is why I reverted your changes. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 07:12, 12 July 2015 (UTC)

Moving a section of "Anosy" to the Talk page for now

Sir, Thanks for your message. What I was trying to do was simply move that section to the "Talk" area as has already been done by someone else for another section of Anosy. This is temporary until/if someone fleshes them out. I haven't done this before, so left out the rationale part of the edit. Sorry about that!

Content Edit

Good Evening.

This afternoon I made a change to the content in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jennifer_Lopez_Live_in_Las_Vegas, I erased the setlist portion of the page because it hasn't been confirm yet. The residency doesn't start until january of 2016, and no statement has beem made about the setlist, and we won't probably find ut about it until the opening night. Thet aren't usually decide so in advanced. I didn't knwo there was and edit summary, next time I will provide one. Thanks fro the attention.

Questions regarding regions of Madagascar, specifically Anosy

I've been working on and off for several years now on the "Anosy" region where I grew up and later worked. My assumption was the more the better, in part given how complex this little part of the country is both in terms of its history (500 years of vazaha (foreigners) ÷and some of its current realities (Rio Tinto mining), but I just today saw you requested I shorten this article as it was too long (and it's quite a bit longer now). So my questions for you are:
- is there anything like either a standard format for a Madagascar region or if not, a region already done that is felt to be quite good?
- if I were to I assume significantly shorten the Anosy region, what do I do with all the other info I've collected?
- Could/should I create a portal for the Anosy region as has been done for Madagascar? If so, how do I do that?
- Misaotra mialoha (thanking you in advance) Tberkas (talk) 00:09, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Tberkas. Welcome to Wikipedia! If you're referring to the message that I left on your talk page, I was not saying that you needed to shorten the article or what you contributed. I was concerned with your edit here because it removed content without explaining why in the edit summary describing your changes. I've gone ahead and restored the changes you made; I highly recommend that you summarize your changes in the edit summary of each change so that other contributors and editors will know why you are making each change. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to assist you. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 00:42, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

Royal Nebeker Edit

Hello,

I merely corrected a typo. Royal's name was spelled as Royal "GRAY" Nebeker, which is incorrect. His middle name was Gay. You also have the correct spelling of his middle name in the first reference on your page, so the naming should be consistent. If you don't believe me, you can also see the correct spelling here: http://www.oregonlive.com/art/index.ssf/2014/09/astoria_artist_teacher_and_men.html It is an easy fix and I don't feel it is insignificant, so I appreciate you allowing me to correct this error.

Hi 174.24.224.21, and thanks for leaving me a message. I see that you've provided a reliable source with your argument. Go ahead and make your changes; you may want to include the source you provided here alongside your edit so that others do not mistakenly believe that your edit is vandalism. Again, I appreciate your message and I apologize for the confusion. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 23:38, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

How could you

Bob Dole is an American hero. You have blatantly disrespected, offended, and terribly humiliated this nation's treasure. You are a disgrace.

Hey there,

I saw you reverted some of my edits on Melania Trump. I was unsure about how to clean up a couple of those sentences because there was no source on the information. You cleaned it up nicely. Thanks!

RE: Porn Terminator submission

Hi Oshwah,

Thank you for taking the time to review my submission.

I've included more information from the reviews received in the draft submission. Please note that there are two (2) independent reviews of this software, one is by CNET, an authority on technology and software. CNET ranks 154 globally on Alexa. The other independent review is by Softpedia.

Thanks again for your consideration.

Please do not enable the defacement of the Observium page.

Hi,

The Observium page has been under repeated defacement by a competing project for a year and a half. They constantly edit the page to insert positive things about their project and inject negative things about observium. We try to take the middle ground, but they keep editing to inject propaganda.

I think it's better that the entire history section is removed, since it's not really important.

Failing that, delete the entire page. It's better that there is nothing there than that it is used as some cynical advertising playground for a bunch of code-stealing children.

Please note that this is the continuation of a large, concerted harrassement campaign from the LibreNMS project against the Observium developers. Wikipedia is not the right place for this kind of hate-fueled vendetta, but every wikipedia editor that has thus far been involved has viewed *us* as the problem, since we remove their edits.

Are there no wikipedia policies against competing interests editing pages?

It's incredibly frustrating to me that every single one of our edits trying to revert the page back to its pre-LibreNMS vandalism state gets reverted and claimed to be vandalism. It's possible that the only solution is to delete the page.

DARREN YOUNG (peoples persons)

Darren Young is a local celebrity why did you delete him

How do you detect vandalism so fast?!?

Bruce Hockin - former ITV newsreaders

Hi, Sorry about that. What happened was that I saw a clip of Bruce Hockin's final programme on YouTube, where it stated that he'd presented HTV News from 1968 to 1996. I wasn't sure whether I could include YouTube clips as sources, could you confirm this? Please forgive my lack of knowledge - I just don't do this often enough. Kind regards - Andy

Yuri Milner

Hi there! Sorry for not providing a proof to my change, but as for it is evident, just look at his surname and the names of his parents.

It's a pity but no one shall show us his passport. I am Russian, I live in Russia and of course I know Russian language (perfectly) and Russian names. Yuri is Russian name but that doesn't make changes to the person himself.

By the way, where is a proof that he is Russian? :)

Here is an article (in Russian, sorry) about Jews in computer industry, e.g. Yuri Milner, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry Page and others. Hope that will do somehow... http://link.ac/4WYJ4

Here's one more Russian article ...much more anti-Semitic :) http://zarusskiy.org/world/2015/07/22/55018/

this one is from jewish site: http://belisrael.info/?p=4489

Hi, 91.233.175.19. I see that you've provided sources here. If there are sources, you'll want to cite them with your edits. This is why I reverted your edit earlier. So long as you do that, you'll be fine. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to help you. Happy editing! ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 15:56, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Sorry, I'm not so educated to do this, and accidentally my English is not so fine to understand it. And by the way (I have to say it again) there were no sources to prove he is Russian (I insist he is not!) Whenever, someone named Geni undid my changes again and said that "Jew" is not a nationality at all... Well, check this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sergey_Brin Here is written Sergey's Brin nationality is AMERICAN! I hope you know that America means TWO CONTINENTS which are filled with a great amount of different nationalities. Now I think Wikipedia is not a source I'd prefer to believe at all :)

Hi, 91.233.175.19. I completely understand the frustration you may be feeling. As much as you feel that Wikipedia is unreliable because of these processes, these policies exist so that content is reliable. I had some time, so I read the article and was able to find that there was already a section that described that he was born into a Jewish family. I went ahead and made the change for you and used the sources that were already provided. You can see my changes here. This will satisfy Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy, and should help you understand how to cite sources. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 18:12, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes! Justice prevailed :) Thanks for your patience!

upd: Hell no. Geni insists he knows Russia better than me. Why you guys do not understand that (for example) a Japanese boy born in Japanese family that emigrated to Italy is not an Italian? Well, maybe I'm not correct with words "Ethnicity" and "Nationality", let's fix this together in this damned article... But Milner is not Russian!

Hi, 91.233.175.19. You should refer to the article's talk page; Geni explained his reversion very clearly in both the edit summary and on the talk page, and I agree that his explanation is correct. ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 21:45, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Regarding your edit to my contribution to Bing Bar

How rude :(

Thread seal tape

Hi Oshwah,

I'm Simon, thanks for your message.

Sorry to hear you feel my small addition was not constructive - obviously I do. The reduction in thread friction when using ptfe tape is very noticeable, and very useful in making joints, so I'm a bit mystified as to why you don't feel it worth mention.

By reducing thread friction, not only are joints physically easier to tighten, but as a greater proportion of the tightening force actually ends up as axial thrust closing the joint, it's easier to gauge correct tightening.

This is based on my own experience of tightening joints, and a couple of discussions I've had with plumbers over the years.

I'd prefer for you to re-instate my edit, but I'll leave it up to you.

Best wishes, Simon

Hi, 92.30.210.185. I've restored your edit. There was a period of time the other day where I realized that I was pushing the wrong button.

Mitch Alliota

Hi. Regarding the death of Mitch Alliota, it was reported on his brother's Facebook page, and circulated among folks in my circle of old Chicago-based radio personalities, many of whom played Alliota, Haynes and Jeremiah's local hit record "Lake Shore Drive" and who interviewed members of the band on various shows.

Here is a post from Mitch's daughter (my Facebook is set up in French, please don't mind that...):
