Wrong person!!!

Hello Caballero1967, I live in Dubai and I am 13 years old and have no intention of spoiling articles or editing in something non-constructive. I absolutely love Wikipedia and half of my knowledge is from this site, which is why i do not want to be given wrong comments and be banned from this site. Pardon my English if it is bad, Thank you, 217.165.1.230 (talk) 12:34, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

@217.165.1.230: Greetings and thanks for replying. I admire your interest in Wikipedia; your English is fine. But if this were not you, it may be, then that your IP address is used by more than one person. Notice, please, the message below, which accompanied the one I left in your Talk Page: "If this is a shared IP address, and you did not make the edits, consider creating an account for yourself so you can avoid further irrelevant notices." Let me know how can I help. Caballero//Historiador ☊ 12:47, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

Good Afternoon

Several times in the past I have corrected the name "Republic of Macedonia" with FYROM, because this is the official name of the Republic according to the UN and with this name the Republic was accepted to the UN.

The resolutions of the UN concerning this issue are the 817(1993) http://www.nato.int/ifor/un/u930407a.htm and the 845(1993) http://daccess-dds-ny.un.org/doc/UNDOC/GEN/N93/361/24/IMG/N9336124.pdf?OpenElement/.

Therefore I really can not understand why wikipedia has been changing my interventions and correction of the name of the Republic mentioned above, unless it is the policy of wikipedia not to respect the decisions of the UN.

For the records please read the following article.It might help your understading about the issue

FYROM Name Issue

The issue of the name of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia is not just a dispute over historical facts or symbols. It concerns the conduct of a UN member state, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, which contravenes the fundamental principles of international law and order; specifically, respect for good neighbourly relations, sovereignty and territorial integrity.

The name issue is thus a problem with regional and international dimensions, consisting in the promotion of irredentist and territorial ambitions on the part of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, mainly through the counterfeiting of history and usurpation of Greece’s national, historical and cultural heritage.

The name issue arose in 1991, when the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia seceded from Yugoslavia and declared its independence under the name “Republic of Macedonia”.

Historically, the term “Macedonia”, which is a Greek word, refers to the Kingdom and culture of the ancient Macedonians, who belong to the Hellenic nation and are unquestionably part of Greek historical and cultural heritage.

Geographically, the term “Macedonia” refers to a wider region extending into the current territory of various Balkan countries, with the largest part of the region being in Greece and smaller sections in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Bulgaria and Albania.

The core of what was ancient Macedonia lies within contemporary Greek borders, comprises the northern portion of the Greek state, and is called Macedonia.

Some 2.5 million Greeks reside in this region today and they and their forebears have considered and called themselves Macedonians through the centuries.

The roots of the name issue go back to the mid-1940s, when, in the aftermath of the Second World War, Commander in Chief Tito separated from Serbia the region that had been known until that time as Vardar Banovina (today’s Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia), giving it the status of a federal unit of the new Socialist Federal Republic of Macedonia, renaming it, initially, the “People’s Republic of Macedonia”, and, later, the “Socialist Republic of Macedonia”.

At the same time, he started to cultivate the idea of a separate and discrete “Macedonian nation”.

Tito of course had many reasons for making these moves, the main one being to lay the foundations for future Yugoslavian territorial claims in the wider region of Macedonia and secure an opening on the Aegean.

Tito’s intentions in the wider Macedonian region had been confirmed as early as 1944, when he declared publicly that his goal was to reunify “all the sections of Macedonia that were broken up in 1912 and 1913 by the Balkan imperialists.”

'A December 1944 State Department dispatch to the U.S. authorities, signed by the US Secretary of State at the time, Stettinius, noted, among other things, that “This [US] Government considers talk of Macedonian "nation", Macedonian "Fatherland", or Macedonian "national consciousness" to be unjustified demagoguery representing no ethnic, nor political reality, and sees in its present revival a possible cloak for aggressive intentions against Greece.”'Bold text

Against this historical background, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia declared its independence in 1991, basing its existence as an independent state on the artificial and spurious notion of the “Macedonian nation”, which was cultivated systematically through the falsification of history and the exploitation of ancient Macedonia purely for reasons of political expediency.

Greece reacted strongly to the theft of its historical and cultural heritage and the treacherous territorial and irredentist intentions of the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and the issue came before the UN Security Council, which, in two resolutions [817(1993) and 845(1993)] recommended that a settlement be found quickly, for the sake of peaceful relations and good neighbourliness in the region.

'In 1993, following a recommendation from the Security Council, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia was accepted, by decision of the General Assembly, into the United Nations under this provisional name, until such time as an agreed solution is reached.'Bold text

In 1995, Greece and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia concluded an Interim Accord, which imposed a binding “code of conduct”.

Based on the Interim Accord, the two sides began negotiations under the auspices of the UN. These negotiations have continued to this day.


Edit on Mc Muffin

Edit on Mc Muffin - Hi, there was a citation needed about the fact that Bacon and Egg McMuffins exist, I included a very relevant source that they in fact do exist, and the link was for "citation needed". The citation needed tag need to be removed. Many thanks. 86.165.247.188 (talk) 13:14, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Gene Tierney

Hi ! Thank you for your message. I consider Wikipedia as public source of information and therefore I rectified the parts that were not correct in the article with a strong source based on investigation. Furthermore some information in the page were linked to a source that did not refer to the right subject. Best ! TM15Thruthmaker15 (talk) 15:52, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

@Thruthmaker15: Thanks for your contributions and for writing. Please, reintroduce the information but with an explanation of the reasons you are doing it (WP:ES). Caballero//Historiador ☊ 16:11, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

Dover NH Edits

I disagree that I introduced promotional language. I simply copied text from the school's mission statement. This IS their mission - as I stated. So I stand by my edit. Also, it is much less informative, helpful, and polite to simply delete an entire entry rather than amending it. LorenzoNH (talk) 16:00, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

@LorenzoNH: Thanks for your contributions (e.g., here) and for writing in my TP. I am for you including the information in the Dover, New Hampshire's page if you deem it necessary, but I think that you just revealed the problem with your change. Wikipedia will only take non-copyrighted information that you can source (WP:HEP). It is not advisable you cite the school's mission's statement because it is copyrighted info and it is tantamount to promotion (WP:NPOV). You may want to make a more modest entry in your own words.

Hate speech

This is a very poorly constructed sentence and simply untrue on a global scale. "Hate speech" might be used in the politics of some countries to do this, but laws like "Holocaust denial" have nothing to do with social policies

"Critics have argued that the term "hate speech" is a contemporary example of Newspeak, used to silence critics of social policies that have been poorly implemented in a rush to appear politically correct."

@2601:646:8b02:433f:2c42:badb:1095:aea4:, agreed! So, find another source because the one used there does not reflect what you wrote. Thanks for your contribution. Caballero//Historiador ☊ 22:45, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

I think I have never edited wikipedia. The warning is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ejoelh (talk • contribs) 01:55, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

I just saw that you deleted our external link on the Ames Brothers page. We had already gone through this with Donner60 and he agreed that our site was more Historical then promotional or of a personal gain. I am going to paste our conversation here so you can see our conversation and don't have to spend the time going over all of it again if r that is ok with you. here is our conversation. I hope after reading this that you will agree with Donner and allow us to post again. Thank you, Chris.

This link goes to the Official Ames Brothers Facebook Fan Page which is an Open page that is dedicated to the Brothers with active visitors and many videos of the Brothers which highlights their career over the years. I think it's important for people to know it's out there. it's not for monetary gain, advertising, or any personal gain. It's just informative information and open discussion for people who are fans can communicate. I am the son of Vic Ames of the Ames Brothers and I believe this should be allowed to stay. I Don't see it any different then the Hall of Fame posting. Maybe I should reword it like "The History of the Ames Brothers" or something like that. I invite you to take a look at the page and then see what you think. Thank you. The link is: https://www.facebook.com/Ames-Brothers-232809813495584/?ref=hl

I will check this further. If it is not promotional, it is probably ok. I think your alternate wording would help. I am logging off now, but will confirm this later today or early tomorrow (UTC). Donner60 (talk) 07:56, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Just wondering if you've had time to check things out

Chris

Yes. I have just checked it. It seems ok to me. I can't speak for everyone who might look at it but I agree it is historical, not promotional, so more like a hall of fame type site. I will not further question adding it to the page. Sorry for the inconvenience. Donner60 (talk) 00:05, 13 January 2016 (UTC)

My posting is down again, do you know why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.23.112.124 (talk) 02:38, 14 January 2016 (UTC)

You will need to communicate with User:Caballero1967 about this. Editors act independently and I had nothing to do with the latest changes. I suspect the reversion was for the same reason I originally reverted it. Since there is a little discretion concerning this (validity of external links), perhaps you can convince him that the links were not promotional or invalid and add something significant to the content. Donner60 (talk) 02:46, 14 January 2016 (UTC)
@174.23.112.124: Chris, I read all this already and responded in your Talk Page. Again, please, look here, at the bottom. At that moment (yesterday), it was not a matter of content, since Donner60 appeared to have favored it (and I had not been able to access it yet). The page is open today. Thus, I think it should be allowed in WP. The problem is with pay or subscription walls. If you set the page's privacy level in "public" it should not be a problem. Thanks for asking.

Hi,

I tried to leave a reference in the footnotes but the system wouldn't let me. Just tried to add a little know detail. I was the sound designer for that production but hat isn't referenced anywhere. There is confirmation about it on this page: http://www.netpoint.be/abc/arno/bio.htm

Up to you if you want to reinstate it, I am too old and grumpy to read half the Magna Carta just to be explained how to leave a reference...

Spanish Empire

Hello, my Latin American fellow, see now the new updates of the Template:Spanish Empire and tell what miss and your think, if you want. i thanks your time--Vvven (talk) 19:24, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

@Vvven: Saludos! Gracias por tomarte el tiempo. It looks like a template with lost of space to grow. I can think of a few. How and where are you interested in expanding now? There is one thing that concerns me. This category should not replace Spanish America. They dovetail in many areas, particularly in regards to the colonial period, but they are not the same. What do you think? Caballero//Historiador ♫ 23:20, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Hello again, Caballero and Historiador. i put it in this template expanding and contributing on this because im a hispanic/latino wikipedian that im interested on help in Hispanic/Latin American/Spanish articles and related. And as Wikipedian contributor i like contribute. i think that i dont know if Spanish America and Spanish Empire and so different as to make two different templates, i mean in adittion, is too related too much this two means, that all the former Spanish America template covers part of the template:Spanish Empire, i mean that all articles are within the Spanish Empire template so make two would repeat the template, and repeat it dont help for the ask information and dont make sense in many ways. and if that you mean the Hispanic American topics, are different the Spanish Colonial America with the modern, or after of it, Modern Hispanic America, but in a after momment some body could make a new template about Hispanic America, but i think and i can conclude that Spanish America and Hispanic America are two different complete words. include if you translate into Spanish language "América Española" and "Hispano América" can realize two very differents means--Vvven (talk) 23:37, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

@Vvven: I do appreciate your contributions a lot. Nobody owns Wikipedia, but us. So, everything you do here is for everyone's' benefit. That's what makes your contributions so valuable. The concern I expressed is based on the fact that "Spanish America" has various meanings, much of which dovetails with the term "Spanish Empire," but they are not synonymous. The Spanish empire is a subject of the past, and it reached the Philippines, Spanish Guinea (in Africa), and arguably Morocco. Keep in mind that it was not called "Empire" all the time, so at moments using this term would be imposing a category on historical figures who saw it differently (ok, sometimes). On the other hand, while the term "Spanish America" obviously refers to the Spanish claims in the Americas (i.e., Spanish Empire), it may also refer to the America where the Spanish language predominates still today. The way to go for settling differences regarding the uses of this term is to consult with other editors and to reach a consensus. As for me, I am ok for the use of the term "Spanish Empire" as long as we make all the efforts in keeping with its historical accuracy. In other words, of including the entire empire, and if the term Spanish America resurfaces as a category, to find a way to accommodate to it, without violating the rules of logic and scholarship. So, again, my question, where do you want to expand? Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 14:45, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

ok, look the templates of the former empires, they are encompassed as one, the template of roman empire, if do you want to study about a part of the empire, you can check the article, the territories of the Americas in the Spanish Empire, were part of the empire, call it colonies or viceroys, or parts, but not were autonomies. remember that in the time, also were the Spanish territories of Italian, Netherlands, Philippines and Guinea (and in few time Taiwan) during the American colony, How i could call it, like, "Ancient Spain", no exist common references about that name, the historians has been called Spanish Empire, but, as you said wikipedia is the work of everything but always that the work be most real possible. another example, the main template of its neibor Portuguese empire, Portuguese overseas empire encompassed all its terrirories, including in this some colonies founded in late-19th century and freed in 1999. i mean what make different in this topic the Spanish America with those of the Portuguese overseas. I know that can miss space for add more topics, or add just by article called lists of writers, warriors, painters, conquistadors, but not all are yet separated. when somebody in wikipedia make a list of that by article, could be more in line the template. thanks, i also appreciate your pont of view and your contributions.--Vvven (talk) 19:47, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

@Vvven: Thanks for the explanation. I am a few projects behind, but I will certainly look at the category later since it is in everything (or almost everything) I write. Talk to you later. Cheers, Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 02:15, 25 January 2016 (UTC)

Bread and Butter Pudding

Hello,

I recently edited the entry for Bread and Butter Pudding to remove the inaccurate line "One of the earliest published recipes for a bread and butter pudding is found in John Nott's Cook's and Confectioner's Dictionary of 1723." because there is no recipe for Bread and Butter Pudding in John Nott's Cook's and Confectioner's Dictionary of 1723.

There is, however, a recipe for Bread and Butter Pudding on page 81 of the second edition of "The compleat housewife: or, accomplished gentlewoman's companion: being a collection of upwards of five hundred of the most approved receipts ... With copper plates ... To which is added, a collection of near two hundred family receipts of medicines: ... By E---- S----.", published in 1728. Since there are no recorded editorial changes between the first and second editions, I suspect it might also appear in the first edition (1727), however I have not had the fortune to view a copy of the first edition to confirm.

The recipe that appears in John Nott's Cook's and Confectioner's Dictionary of 1723 is for White Pot. Whilst Bread and Butter Pudding and White Pot have similarities, they are not the same. Neither is John Nott's 1723 recipe the earliest recipe for White Pot.

The earliest recipe for White Pot, to the best of my knowledge, appears in "A true gentlewomans delight Wherein is contained all manner of cookery: together with preserving, conserving, drying and candying. Very necessary for all ladies and gentlewomen" by Elizabeth Grey Countess of Kent, published in 1653, page 26.

Access to EEBO and ECCO resources can confirm both references.

I respectfully suggest one of the following instead:

"One of the earliest published recipes for a bread and butter pudding is found in "The compleat housewife" by E---- S----, 1728."

or

"One of the earliest published recipes for a white pot is found in "A true gentlewomans delight" by Elizabeth Grey, 1653."

or

delete the line altogether.

You might not wish to cite either of my references, but for the sake of accuracy, it is a mistake to leave the line "One of the earliest published recipes for a bread and butter pudding is found in John Nott's Cook's and Confectioner's Dictionary of 1723" unchanged.

Many thanks

Harry gration

Why have you removed the true and valid information about Harry gration? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hokeykokeyalex (talk • contribs) 13:47, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

with reference to your removing information that was true and valid about Harry gration,it is not your job or service to remove critical information about people,Wikipedia should be valid and relevant and truthful ,,,your removing of true value information begs the question why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hokeykokeyalex (talk • contribs) 13:51, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

what attempts do you make to check if the information was true ? It is,,and as such you should not remove,,it was fair true and balanced.,,and as such you had no right to remove. Wikipedia should not just be the good things about people in the limelight,if there iare critical issues the. They should be included,that is balance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hokeykokeyalex (talk • contribs) 13:57, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I have referred to the guidelines ,it complies,,I ask again what efforts did you make before removing the information to see if it was truthful and factual? Tell me specifically which comment breached regulations and guidelines and in what way? The information was that Harry gration was a long-serving presenter,,,true. That people have been critical of the promotion on air of interests and events involving his friends and family members,,that is true,contact look North and ask if people have complained ,,,do not just remove like Harry Grations guardian angel. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hokeykokeyalex (talk • contribs) 14:08, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

  • @Hokeykokeyalex: I appreciate your contributions and your zeal. I am not an angel for Harry, and I hope you are not the opposite. My concern is with the way you included the info. If this is an important piece of information you should have instead quoted others or cited the evidence, and with care. Biographies of living people are watched over with special attention to detail and form. This is an encyclopedia and we should take utmost care in presenting the info as unbiased as possible. Please, understand that it is not against you or in Harry's favor. Quote, cite, and do not appear as if you have any grief or emotion in his favor or against him. Let me know if this makes sense. And please, sign your comments. Cheers, Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 14:19, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I am still learning,but certain individuals seem to be in place protecting some people. I ask again e plain specifically why truthful information was removed. You cannot hide behind look at the guideline comments. --Hokeykokeyalex (talk) 14:20, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

  • Please, do not open a new subject if you are still discussing Harry. Just come back down and write in the same section. I do not know Harry, but I know when new data is placed in a BLP properly, and yours should follow the form. That's it. Please, go back and add it in a way it shows you have done research, are citing proper references (WP:RS), and that you have no gripe against the person. Thanks. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 14:24, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I am not adding any information with grief or zeal. I will again add the information which is tru and verified about Harry gration. It is not meant in any other way than to impart true information...ie he is a long serving presenter,,which is true. I am aware that numerous people have complained to the editor Mr Tim Smith at look North that Harry Gration has used on screen time on look North to promote golfing events and entertainment shows involving members if his family and friends. That is a fact,,,it may be critical,but critical comment can be added without zeal just as positive comments can--Hokeykokeyalex (talk) 14:26, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

As long as you follow form, that means citing reliable references (look here WP:RS) and using a neutral wording, you are fine. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 14:30, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I think you have delusions of grandee,and are not seeing things properly. Point one,,,Harry gration is a long standing presenter of look North..fact.point 2,,look North editor Mr Tim Smith has received many complaints about Harry Gration using look North air time to promote causes,events and sporting encounters for friends,family etc,it is a fact,,if you think not then contact Mr Tim smith at look North he is the editor. These complaints have also been followed up by the mp for the dearne Mr John Healey..fact. On one occasion Harry gration did a Filmed piece to camera about a production called the railway children in York,and one of the presenters let the car out of the bag by saying Harry's son was in the production,,fact. On one occasion Harry did a live outside broadcast from fulford golf club,of a golf event that he claimed was major,but was covered by nobody else, MR gration is a member of that club. So when you say poorly referenced I think you are now taking this personally and abusing your position. I can back up everything I am saying and writing,you are deleting for some unknown reason. If you delete again,I will personally do everything I can to have you removed from being able to do what you are doing..including contacting and enlisting the help of my local friend and mo Mr John Healey. You are not being objective. Hokeykokeyalex (talk) 16:58, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Agile - condensing the English from four words to three, replacing the word root (multiple scientific meanings) to origin (more equivocal, fewer alternative meanings)

Hi Caballero1967, Thanks for your contact. I'm not sure I understand how my edit could appear unconstructive. The heuristic that I use is one from New Scientist that implies if we can use fewer words to describe what me mean then that's usually better. This leaves me thinking that you may think I've changed the meaning of something that had been written?

Question

Hi Caballero 1967 Hi there I have just created an account on wikipedia and made some edits under cuckold and hotwife , a few days ago. They were taken down because I did not include the correct referencing format. I read up on how to include the proper citation and then made the edits again yesterday and included the book reference using what I believe is the correct citation system following the one already in exsistence on the entry. You have removed my edits ( i think ), can I ask why ?, as I do not want to get into one of these edit wars. If I am doing something incorrectly I would rather know why. The book reference I had included is not by an eroric author, it is not fiction, it is a work about the psychology of erotic personality types.Hope to hear from you so we can resolve this

@Earlymanbc:, Thanks for writing in my Talk Plage; I do appreciate your interest to contribute to Wikipedia. We need more people with knowledge and enthusiasm to make this place even better of what it is already. But I did not revert your inclusions the second time. As you noticed, I did revert the first time, but only because it was unsourced. The reverts that have happened afterward appear to have been as a mode of precaution by another well-intended and good editor. Trafficked articles with highly controversial topics are better to treat them carefully by consulting previous users in the Talk Page, making only small but well-sourced changes at a time, and paying careful attention to what others are saying. A review of previous arguments in the Talk Page, and in the Edits Comments, and examining how the article has been changed is a must if you want to make considerable contributions or changes to it. I noticed references to sources. Perhaps the types of sources you are using may be part of the problem. Talk to the editor. Please, review the sources page WP:RS, and visit the noticeboard WP:RSN. Search their archives for previous discussions on sources for this topic and if none, launch a question on the matter. Hope this helps. Cheers, Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 16:47, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Elephant cognition

Hello,

The reason I made the edit "and biologist" to this page ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_cognition ) is because that side of Aristotle's career seemed more relevant to the comment he made about elephants. (However, I should note that I haven't been able to locate the exact reference in Aristotle.)

@67.167.102.54:, Thanks for the explanation. Perhaps if you explain your edit and produce reliable sources (WP:RS), your edits would be seen as beneficial. Let me know how could I help. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 21:03, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

That Edit That You Did

Thanks! I had actually only undone that edit because I wanted to get my IP off of the page. How do I do that, anyway? YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpellingMan (talk) 20:27, 23 January 2016 (UTC)YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpellingMan

@YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpellingMan: Thanks for writing back and for the explanation. I reviewed the article's history and saw what you mean. Unfortunately (or perhaps, fortunately), Wikipedia never forgets, and your anon edits are there forever, both, the one you did to correct the misspelling, and the one in which you reverted it. But never forgetting does not mean we make a big deal out of little things (though there are some who certainly do it). The point is that you should not think about it anymore. Your original intentions were to improve the article's spelling, and we need more of your kind. So, please, continue doing what you have already started, but read the guidelines (WP:HEP & WP:10SIMPLERULES). You may want to join the guild of WP:COPYEDITORS-- they need all the help you can give to them. Hope this helps. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 21:15, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for note, I fully understand

Hi -- thanks for the note. I did not expect you to leave my little question on the page -- but I was hoping you would answer it. I really liked your article -- and I printed it, studied it carefully, etc. and found it very helpful, making many interesting points. But you open the first paragraph in the History section with such a simple statement --

"Holdorf's algebra predated the modern developments ..."

I did a repeated search for any reference anywhere to "Holdorf" -- and there is nothing on the internet I could find. The one reference that Google came up with -- is your article. So -- I just thought it would be helpful if you explained what you are talking about -- because I have no idea, and could not find an answer.

Thanks!

Frederick Douglass

Hi, I noticed your edits on Frederick Douglass that undid my edits there. I understand you had a problem with my changing the name of the section Douglass in Arts and Literature. However, I don't understand the other edits: one was a chronological rearrangement of what happened, as per "Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass," and the other one was changing outmoded, and broken, formatting. Could you please explain where I edited wrong? Thanks in advance. epicgenius (talk) 20:29, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

@Epicgenius: Thanks for writing. At first, I saw your change in formatting unnecessary, but I acquiesced, and as you may have noticed, I performed them myself, even when I was not entirely sure about de-capitalizing "Arts and Literature" (I noticed the pattern through WP, though). But the change in the text order was not right. You may have put the paragraphs in a sort of chronological order, but the logic of the text was broken. One paragraph is linked to the other by the topic of reading and its teaching. In these paragraphs, the original writer had given preference to order by topic than by strict chronology. You could have rewritten the entire thing to make it more chronological, and I would have no trouble with it, but the way you left it, read bumpy and inconsistent. Please, let me know if this makes sense. Cheers, Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 20:42, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Charmed (season 2)

Hi,

My contribution about changing the name of the demon to Ebraxas as opposed to to Abraxas is because that was how it was spelled in Episode 1 of Charmed Season 2. The three witches spelled it out using a spirit board. I watched it three times already on RTL CBS Entertainment Channel. Yes, I am a big fan of this series.

May I invite you to watch the episode and see for yourself? I believe you can watch in online. I thought I could just go ahead and edit because the entry contained wrong information. The episode even had an explanation and image of who Ebraxas is. However, if you do not want to change it, that's okay. Sorry, I did not mean to offend you or whoever wrote that entry.  :) 180.191.147.233 (talk) 10:12, 25 January 2016 (UTC) Grace

@180.191.147.233:, thanks for writing on my Talk Page. You have not offended me or anybody in WP. I moved your comments here, to the bottom, where new ones belong.
However, I wish you were correct. I re-checked the issue, and confirmed that the spelling is "Abraxas." Here is the link to the Youtube short: Charmed "A-B-R-A-X-A-S". It is not simply titled as such, but if you watch it, you would notice the spelling begins indeed with an A. I searched for examples with your spelling, and could not find any. See here: Youtube Search: charmed Ebraxas. Even IMDB spells it with an A, and names the actor, Walter Phelan. Please, show me your evidence.

San Juan Bay

@Miniapolis: Thanks for the time you spent working with the San Juan Bay article. It is defenitively better. I was following your work and thought to be essentially perfect. It reads better, and you even seemed to have understood some of the subtleties in the text, and thus, able to make the right adjustments. I appreciate your work!

You're right; there seems to be a gap in the history between the 18th and 20th centuries, but the article is about the bay—not the city or the port. Perhaps a bit more information about environmental issues (especially water pollution; I wasn't sure what those green flags signified) would help. It's well sourced, so it may soon be time to nominate it. All the best, Miniapolis 00:19, 8 February 2016 (UTC)

Evans Paul

This article is one of many stating Paul now leads an interim or transitional government, referring to his service as PM in the past tense. This Haitian publication also names him as head of state. Finally, rulers.org lists Paul as acting head of state. Therequiembellishere (talk) 19:33, 9 February 2016 (UTC)

@Therequiembellishere: Thanks for responding and sharing the diffs. I have seen similar news, but none calls him "Acting President" and that is a huge difference in Haitian political jargon. To complicate matters, as Prime Minister he already shares the responsibility of Head of State, but as an appointee from the President himself, he is only the second. So, the best thing to do is to call him "Acting Head of State." This would go along with the fact that Parliament is now in the process of naming an "Acting President," so it is wrong to call him that when Parliament has not yet decided on it. What do you think?

I see, thanks for the explanation. This is a sad consequence of our high rate of vandalism; it makes us biased against inexperienced editors, and fighting it requires a lot of quick decisions. The saddest part is that that increases our WP:Systemic bias. I took the time to google for references and thereby found that we already have two pertinent articles. But that took me about as much time as it takes a vandal to vandalize 30 pages, or a stiki user to revert as many. — Sebastian 02:53, 15 February 2016 (UTC)
@SebastianHelm: I wish more would think the way you do (WP:BIAS). The case you spotted was a close call, but I learned the lesson since. I don't revert those kinds of flagged changes anymore. When I can and think the information is appropriate, I just go to the article and stick a "citation needed" tag.

White Dominican (Dominican Republic)

Hi, the edits I have done have been related to the family names you have mentioned yourself. It is you that have included names of families in the first place. Secondly, this article is also about immigration and since you have decided to include names of families I have decided to make some edits there.

The edits I have made are: To the term "white levantine" and before I tried to specify that the levantines from DR come mainly from Lebanese immigrants. It is a given that Levantines are white, so dont write white levantines, say white lebanese or just levantine. Levantines have also been referred to Turkish levantines and as far as I know most of the immigrants of the beginning of the XX centruy from the middle east were from Lebanon

To the section of Lebanese immigration I decided to include some of the family names that have made contributions to DR out of that wave of immigration since you have included the name of Spanish families. The lebanese immigrant families have contributed in 50-80 years to the Dominican Republic and Latin American what the Spanish families have done in centuries. Plus, whereas the Spanish/Italian/French families came well-off out of their countries, the Lebanese families came illiterate and without a penny in their pockets yet they have founded universities, hospitals, art galleries, industries, banks, contributed to journalism, politics etc etc which make their contributions even more impressive. The Spanish/Italian/French, however, have mainly contributed in the area of commerce/industry.

I also edited the section of the old Spanish families of the XVII-XVIII century where you wrote Campusano. Frank Moya Pons in his Historia de la Republica Dominicana volume 2 found at https://books.google.se/books?id=Wor3UqsHkToC&pg=PA256&lpg=PA256&dq=campuzano+polanco&source=bl&ots=whtXnHyeIW&sig=Oiasoa4qpOLQtQjRJg3R8vslCu0&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=campuzano%20polanco&f=false 

writes about the Campuzano Polanco not Campusano and there is a recent historical study published by the University of Salamanca mostly about the Campuzano Polanco family as one of the families of that era which along with the Coca, Garay, Oviedo, etc you failed to include in your list. Dont think there was such a thing as a Campusano family prominent in those times.

These are factual data about immigration and families that have contributed to the commercial and cultural development of the Dominican Republic and have absolutely nothing to do with race

I noticed that you have already deleted my edit so my questions are Why do you inclue names the Spanish families of the wave of immigration of the 17th-18th century and not the names of the Lebanese families of the early 20th century? Why did you erase my edit about the Campusano into Campuzano Polanco? Gregorio Semillan Campuzano was Mexican, the Campuzano Polanco is the real Dominican familyHughesshots (talk) 20:24, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Edits were not done by me

Hi. I was reading an article in Wikipedia, and a message appeared from you saying that edits were done from my IP address to Wikipedia articles on Sam Newman and Gillon McLachlan, which you have reversed because they were not constructive or are vandalism. I clicked on the "Your Recent Contributions" link, and you are correct. There's one to an Eddie McGuire article as well. They were all done on 12 Jan 2016, and they all look like vandalism.

But I did not make these edits. I have never seen these articles before. I have no interest in sport, and I have never edited ANY Wikipedia article, ever. What's more, I am using a home computer. There is no one else in this household who could have made these edits.

So how could someone else be making edits from my IP address? I don't understand. I thought IP addresses were unique. I'm not worried so much about Wikipedia, because vandalism to Wikipedia articles will be discovered and reversed eventually. Rather, I'm puzzled how someone could be impersonating my IP address, and worried about what else they might be doing while pretending to be me. Are you able to shed any light on how this might be happening? 124.170.14.147 (talk) 14:20, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Edit on page for Ramona (novel series)

Hi Caballero1967, I got a message from you saying that you had undone a change I made to the Ramona (novel series) page "because it did not appear constructive." My change was a correction to a usage error: the Huggins family was listed as "The Huggins's," rather than "The Hugginses." It's clear from context that the heading is supposed to be the plural of the family name, not a possessive (some of the other headings are "The Quimbys" and "The Kemps"). To make the plural of a name ending in s, you ad "es" to it, so the Jones family is the Joneses, the Phelps family is the Phelpses, and the Huggins family is the Hugginses.

There's a Slate article about this phenomenon here, although you can also check any source on grammar and usage.

I'm going to go re-correct the page. Please don't change it back; it doesn't affect anything substantive, but for the sake of consistency and correctness, we should be using "Hugginses." 67.164.147.100 (talk) 04:44, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

Jessie Taft Wiki

Hello,

I received a notification from you regarding an edit I made to the article about Jessie Taft. I was requested to add a reliable source. That's not possible because what I added to the article is family history, documented through the Horowitz and Taft families. I don't know whether you would accept my family tree or Roger Taft's family tree as a reliable source. This is that portion of my tree regarding Everett's family: https://www.geni.com/family-tree/index/6000000027215693845

In the article it states, "Two decades later Taft was to adopt a boy, Everett, the first-born son of Milo Hastings." Everett Taft (born Hastings) was the son of Milo Milton Hastings and my grand-aunt Frances Horowitz. Milo and Frances were never married and parted ways a few years after Everett's birth. Everett's mother Frances died in 1920 and Milo placed Everett in the care of Jesse Taft. Since there is a mention of Everett's father Milo I think it is reasonable to also mention his mother Frances Horowitz.

If you need to contact me I can be reached through the messaging system at Geni.com, if you have an account there.

  • Greetings, @Supah Dupah Editah Troopah:. First, let me inform you that working on the same article and writing the same thing in rapid sequence calls attention as a potential case of Sock puppetry. This is what happened with your account and these others: The M.I.N.D. Allmighty, User:The Operator, user:Dr Xyroe. Including the one from which you wrote here, it is a total of 4 accounts. In addition to the issue of Sock puppetry, there is the attempt to include something repeatedly without talking or consulting even when others have taken it out. When you do it more than three times, even when it comes from more than one account, it is considered Edit warring. All of these actions are frowned upon and reprimanded in Wikipedia. I suggest you consider contributing to Wikipedia in a more positive manner by following the rules, guidelines and the best practices.

Francis Benali.

You have taken off public knowledge about Francis benalis business and company.

You imply the company is current and solvent which it is not. There is no shame in having a company insolvent that.s why the company is a ltd company. It is in the public interest as it is also on the governments website that the company is insolvent.

If the company had been successfully sold to another company you would have made that public. wouldn't you? Probably saying "He successfully sold the LTD company to xyz other company in 2016 to pursue other interests."

If you are not going to tell the truth what is the point of Wikipedia? You just become the same as the lies on the internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.1.50.14 (talk) 12:20, 12 October 2016 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 350 articles in just six days. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thankyou.

Your recent edit on List of films based on Marvel Comics

Hi,

I noticed that you undid some edits on List of films based on Marvel Comics while labeling them as test edits or vandalism. I don't see any way those edits could be considered a test or vandalism, so I have restored them. The edit was to add Deadpool 2 as being in pre-production, and while the edit itself was unsourced, it linked to a sourced section in another article that makes it clear the film is actually in pre-production. Please be careful not to call edits vandalism when they are actually constructive, as it can be very off-putting to new users. Calathan (talk) 05:12, 25 October 2016 (UTC)

@Calathan: Thanks for writing and explaining, and for trying to update the article. We need your contributions. But as you can see here, it is important that you bring at least a reliable source and explain your edits, as you did while reverting my edit. If a source is not possible, at least provide an explanation in the summary section or the talk page. Following these simple steps helps a lot and save us lots of time and pain. Thanks. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 19:24, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

I'm getting the impression that you are confusing me with the person who was trying to add that content to the article. I didn't contribute the change, and have no objection to the content being removed due to being unsourced. My impression was that you hadn't considered the content's merits, and instead had just clicked too quickly while using STiki, so I wanted to give someone else a chance to consider that edit and either decide to source it or remove it. I did end up becoming curious about whether Deadpool 2 has an announced release date, and have now looked into it further and asked Rmaynardjr about it on his talk page (where he gave me further clarification), but at the time when I undid your edit I did not mean to advocate for the content being included. Anyway, if you have time, you might want to post something similar to what you wrote above on User talk:104.172.29.23, as I think those comments would be more useful to that user (i.e., letting them know that there contributions are needed but that they need to include sources).

Berks Catholic High School

Hi! I recently see you've undone my second revision. Now the first revision I understood because I was treating the school better than another so I got rid of that part but left in a section about iPad integration with the school. You removed that stating there weren't any sources or what not. I have a problem with this because I attend the school and am all the source you would need. Not only that but there is only one source through out the entire page yet I am required to have sources but others are not? This seems unfair, I understand you did not know I attended the school but I do not feel I should be required to provide a source for each and every little thing about the iPads considering I am source enough and am sending this from my school issued iPad so yeah. please get back to me and I'm gonna expect you to add back the iPad section when you do. Thanks Lucky516 (talk) 19:54, 25 October 2016 (UTC)lucky516

@Lucky516:, (I have placed links besides some of my comments to help indicate the source of my claims) Thanks for taking the time to explain your concerns. Such behavior is good etiquette (WP:EQ). It is important that you keep in mind that we are not paid to work for Wikipedia and we cannot account for all the unsourced information here. We do what we can to keep this encyclopedia's standards high. We take from our limited free time to contribute and watch the new edits. So, when I revert your edits, it is only because I think it should not be part of Wikipedia. I have nothing against the school (I did not even know it existed). In short, your contributions to the school's entry border in WP:COI. It is good that you identified yourself as part of the school, however. This should have been part of your explanation in the summary section (H:ES) or the article's Talk Page (WP:TPG). But even if you would have done this, your addition to the entry is not what this encyclopedia needs (WP:NOT). It reads like propaganda (WP:NOTPROMOTION). From the encyclopedia's perspective, it is a non-notable fact about the school (WP:N), mirroring more a spam (WP:SPAM) than necessary information. In reverting your addition, my intention is not to produce an edit war with you (WP:WAR). If you disagree, rather than reverting my edits, please, work your opinion on the article's talk page. Before you do that, please, look at our 10 simple rules (WP:10SR). Feel free to rejoin the conversation. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 20:05, 26 October 2016 (UTC)

"Recent edits to Firrhill High School[edit] Information icon Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia.

It's been removed for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so!

I removed what is obviously a fake (and slightly rude) entry under 'Notable former pupils and teachers':

"Legendary comedian, dancer, adult movie star, and label machinist Derek Draper, Derek is mostly know for his dance he created called 'The Ringo', the Ringo has inspired other dancers including Torlvill and Dean, nicknames include Middle leg and tripod ."

I see this entry has been reinstated but it's obviously a joke entry by a present or, more likely, former pupil and is completely false information. I therefore presumed it was ok to edit it out.

Many thanks.
