Uncited information on bidding fee auctions article

I am quite new to wikipedia, but I am somewhat confused as to your rollback of my edit. While I do understand that the information I posted was uncited, it is a lot more neutral than the heavily biased current content of the article. I merely tried to add some balanced material for consideration. In fact, the article was reverted so quickly, that I have reason to believe you did not even read the contents.

I would ask you to at least read the contents of an edit before making a snap (or perhaps completely automated) judgement on an edit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.1.125 (talk) 04:57, 4 June 2009 (UTC)


Regarding perceived vandalism on article "sponge" from ip address 193.60.95.72

Hello,

What you perceived as vandalism to the article was my unsuccessful attempt at removing already existing vandalism, which apparently reverted to some previous vandalized version of it. Sorry about this. This is a public university ip so I would appreciate if you could remove the warning message (blacklisting?).

Regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.60.95.72 (talk) 01:03, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

I read it, and your edit had a POV slant to it, almost like a personal essay, which is not allowed here. If you can, try rewriting it in such a way that it does not have such a POV. Also, place new comments on the bottom. CardinalDan (talk) 05:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Speaking the truth about fraud is not "vandalism"

I cannot understand how inserting into an article a DESCRIPTIVE account of a CLEARLY fraudulent practice by a company described in Wikipedia is "vandalism." Please explain why you are reverting my revisions when my revisions are designed merely to more clearly spell out what "Tagged.com" has been accused of. As a recent victim of their "business practices" I know exactly what happened to my email accountt and that of a friend of mine who never accepted any agreement to have our privacy or computer's security compromised. This is NOT under any remotely reasonable construction a gray area. Thank you for responding to this query. Prestolocution (talk) 05:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

how do you consider contributions valdalism???? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Letmroll (talk • contribs) 05:02, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Your additions to the article are uncited, and seem a lot like vandalism. Wikipedia requires all information to be cited to reliable sources. Please stop inserting information that does not meet those requirements, or you risk being blocked CardinalDan (talk) 05:08, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

this is fact not vadalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Letmroll (talk • contribs) 05:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but with no valid citation, it is vandalism. CardinalDan (talk) 06:18, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Proposed Deletion

Hi Cardinal Dan...

I see that you have put a proposed deletion notice on my newly created entry. I intend over the next couple of days to dramatically improve the quality and content of the page so I request that you wait the full seven days before deciding whether to delete the entry. Will this be a problem?

Kind regards

Vandalism?

hello Headhold contacted me asking me for help on his reverted edits. I am curious as to why you accused him of vandalism, as he made the edit in good faith. Also, I'm not sure of this since I am a reletively new user myself; but for an edit like that shuold you put [citation needed] or revert it and ask them to retrieve a resourse (which you did In this case)? Because I came across an edit which seemed valid but had no citation so I used [citation needed], which I would have used in this case Thank you, Marx01 (talk) 06:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


Not a test

I wasn't testing anything. I was adding information about the mathematical methods of super calculus because it wasn't already there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Headhold (talk • contribs) 05:46, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Why do you keep removing the information. I told you I was not testing. I was adding information.

Why is adding information about super calculus vandalism? I haven't made any damage to the page I just added some missing information.

Like I said before on your talk page, where is the reference? A google search yielded nothing, so I am inclined to beleive that you are adding fake material to the page. CardinalDan (talk) 05:51, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

The reference was what I added to the page, don't be so silly. If a google search gave you nothing your internet might be broken. It is a variant of calculus. Are you going to delete algebra for being a variant of mathematics. No, i didn't think so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Headhold (talk • contribs) 05:53, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


The burden of proof is on you. If you are going to add material to a page here, you have to find an external valid reference to confirm it. Adding material here does not constitute it as a reference. And your analogy is flawed, since, there is multiple external valid references for algebra and mathematics. CardinalDan (talk) 05:57, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

that is probably because algebra and mathematics have been on Wikipedia for a long time. it would be hard to find information on super calculus because nobody has added it to wikipedia yet.

Well, in your case, discuss it in the talk page first. I cannot find any information on it.CardinalDan (talk) 06:00, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

that might be because you are not trying you are just deleting information from Wikipedia

i don't understand this you are confusing me so can i add the information back on? i told marx01 i hope they can explain better than you did

about article developed country

u r editing without discussing with other people. if u want to edit u must first ask other people's opinion in discussion page. that is why wikipedia provides us with discussion page. do u think wikipedia just made that to chat with each other??? come to discussion page and pursuade other people why ur edition is more accurate than previous version. the previous version, we went through many discussions and took long time to reach the consensus. if u want to chage it u should give us proper reasons.Hawkchoi (talk) 00:20, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

IP Talk page blanking

Hi; consensus at WP:ANI/WP:AN is that IP users are allowed to blank their Talk pages, except for removal of maintenance & block notices- it's taken as acknowledgement that the notices have been read. It's also set out at WP:DRC. Cheers. Rodhullandemu 17:07, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Does whois tags stay on? I was under the assumption that whois tags must stay on a talk page. CardinalDan (talk) 02:22, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Mushraff

The edits I had done were find, I think propaganda has no place in the article. The edits made by Dan something are not right,

The tone of your recent edits to the article reflects a non NPOV; that is why it was reverted. CardinalDan (talk) 04:33, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok than take out the commentary the rest are facts. Maybe you should read up on Pakistan and what has happened. He was a dictator, he fired the judges, and appointed his own, now the real courts are back by the force of the people. So these are facts, dont edit my edits. I have been edititng for years and dont appreciate this.

Then discuss it in the talk page first. The facts that you added have not been referenced, and as it stands, are not NPOV. Add references to the information you put in that are valid first. CardinalDan (talk) 04:38, 22 June 2009 (UTC)


Well I did put them up on discussion, besides you no one even responds. Why dont you just look up Pakitan Supreme Court and check the facts. My facts are correct and I will put the citations

Calling an editor "a puppet of the dictator" does not count as productive discussion; you have to find valid sources before adding it to the article. CardinalDan (talk) 04:46, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Son of God

Why did you revert me edits on Son of God? The text made false statements about the Jews and I provided a link showing such --AlwaysJewish (talk) 04:51, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

See your talk page. CardinalDan (talk) 04:52, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
That is an absurd excuse it was not a major change it made claims about the Jews which were false --AlwaysJewish (talk) 04:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
Which edit are you talking about? CardinalDan (talk) 04:55, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
When you reverted me on Son of God, the article before I fixed implied Jews associate psalm 2 with the messiah I removed that part and provided a link in my edit summary to a Jewish commentary to psalm 2 which does not associate it with the messiah at all --AlwaysJewish (talk) 05:00, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Thirteenth

Since other scholars define a thirteenth chord as a 7th chord with a 13th added to it (without specifying the 9th and/or the 11th), I see no reason for your revert. 87.69.130.159 (talk) 06:57, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

University of Baltimore School of Law

Please read the comments before you restore information and say that there were no comments. thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.123.105.247 (talk) 05:05, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, really

Oh, you're not even an sysop. Enough of the vandalism talk. I vandalized a couple articles and now I'm having a civil conversation. Really, just looking at all the messages you have on your page, it seems you don't assume good faith as we're supposed to and quickly jump quickly to the conclusion that others are vandalizing. 70.160.217.28 (talk) 04:42, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Unfortunately, your earlier actions do not indicate that you are willing to engage in good faith edits; that is why you received your warnings. For that you were warned. CardinalDan (talk) 04:46, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
So I am forever tainted with my page blanking? I cannot even have my actions looked upon as good because I've twice vandalized? So far the majority of my edits have been good, constructive edits informing you about one of the best guidelines on Wikipedia. 70.160.217.28 (talk) 04:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
You got warned, not blocked. A block would be a taint on your actions, if you heeded the warnings, then that's good, forget about it! Just don't do it again. --Kraftlos (Talk | Contrib) 04:56, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Making baseless accusations do not give a good impression to editors. Also, your first few edits that you made made you look like a vandal. If you can make an effort to make good edits to different articles (not talk pages), then it may be different. Like Kraftos said, I gave you warnings, heed them. CardinalDan (talk) 05:00, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Martha, Asfixiante

Howdy, do you know if this article has already been transwikied? I was not able to find it on the Spanish Wikipedia (ie es:Martha, Asfixiante). Thanks and keep up the great work! --TeaDrinker (talk) 15:47, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Never mind, it looks like it was already deleted in the Spanish Wikipedia. Sorry for the trouble. --TeaDrinker (talk) 15:53, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Michels syndrome

Hi, I just wanna consult you about the tags you added to the article, can you be more specific about the wikify tag, the lead tag, and the cleanup tag, and especially the clean up tag, what clean up you recommend, thank you MaenK.A.Talk 17:14, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

For the wikify tag, there are some red links that I think can be fixed or lead to the proper article. For the lead tag, I think you can better describe the disease, instead of covering the symptoms. For the cleanup, I believe you can better section the article. Hope that explains the tags. If you have any more questions, please don't hesitate to ask. CardinalDan (talk) 19:27, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
First as you can see here that the word syndrome refers to the association of several clinically recognizable features, signs, and symptoms. so when mentioning these I am actually describing the symptom, and about the red links, these link to articles that are still missing from the wikipedia, and what sections you would recommend for 3 lines article??, thank you for your time MaenK.A.Talk 09:05, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Warning?

I just got a warning from you talking about how I vandalized the Skin wiki page. Not under this name but my IP. I've never edited a single page here on Wikipedia. What's even weirder is that the message dates back to March 2008 but I didn't get it until now.

Cometoguy (talk) 03:07, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Chad Kroeger

Why did you revert my edit on Chad Kroeger? I have reviewed the term vandalism, and it does not seem to constitute itself as such:

"Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example, adding a controversial personal opinion to an article once is not vandalism;..."

The following addition was as such:

Chad was rated number six in a list of "The 100 Unsexiest Men in the World" by the Boston Phoenix.[1]

Although it is critical of the subject in question, it is well documented and not a personal attack. It is simply fact.

I look forward to your reply! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Corgy.x (talk • contribs) 07:12, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, my mistake. It's not vandalism. At the same time, I don't know if it is a notable enough fact to be added into the article. CardinalDan (talk) 07:18, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Krackenhunter is going to get deleted anyway.

Let him have his hangon, for what little good it will do. HalfShadow 03:43, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

IP Vandal at Chronicles of Narnia

Hi CardinalDan: I hope you don't mind that I went straight to a 4im warning. I did so after looking at the talk history for this IP. It has obviously been involved in several vandalism related events before, and is quite obviously a vandalism only ip...I realize its a drastic step, but figured it was reasonable under the circumstances. Frmatt (talk) 05:27, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

No problem; if that is so, then it is a reasonable step-up warning. CardinalDan (talk) 05:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you please explain this? -- Banjeboi 06:17, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Friendly note regarding talk page messages

Hello. As a recent editor to User talk:24.16.50.9, I wanted to leave a friendly reminder that as per WP:USER, editors may remove messages at will from their own talk pages. While we may prefer that comments be archived instead, policy does not prohibit users -including anonymous editors like this one- from deleting messages or warnings from their own talk pages. The only kinds of talk page messages that cannot be removed (as per WP:BLANKING) are declined unblock requests (but only while blocks are still in effect), confirmed sockpuppet notices, or IP header templates (for unregistered editors). These exceptions only exist in order to keep a user from potentially gaming the system. Thanks, — Kralizec! (talk) 06:46, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Quick question then, does the IP header templates include whois tags? CardinalDan (talk) 06:47, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Another note: take care not to welcome-template users with three year old accounts who vandalise like X06 (talk · contribs · logs). His antisemitic edit warring on The Protocols should have been given a more severe warning. Auntie E. 16:10, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
Actually, the welcome template was already there (3 years ago) before I added my warning. CardinalDan (talk) 16:13, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Porus

Dear friend, you refered to my edit on the page Porus , you might be able to help us there, this one specific person has done pure research to claim that Porus was a Saini, the page claims Rajput status to Sainis who are known to be a very low caste in India. If you go through the article, the Porus claim more specificaly, it is pure research work, he's reached a conclusion from a number of different facts, my only argument is that until unless he provides a reference that says "Porus was a Saini", he must not post his original research work everyhwere. Sir please help us avoid such original research work from the encylopedia. i'd be really greatful to you. Tikka Sangram Singh (talk) 18:49, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I'm not really an expert in that field. The reason that I reverted your edit was that you deleted a section without giving a valid explanation in your edit summary. Inspection of the related talk page also revealed that there was no reason to delete the section. You have to give a valid reason for deleting a section of an article. CardinalDan (talk) 18:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Dear Sir, since there is no editor monitoring it, i'd be obliged if you read my latest post here - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Saini#Porus.27s_mention_restored_to_the_article_after_many_months_of_investigation and go through this subheading, it will become clear to you as well.

High five

Quick Question: I am seeing re-edits appear around the use of 3 or 4 fingers, for this article about the "high five" -- is there a practice in common usage that would indicate that people are using 4 fingers, and calling it a "high four"? If not, should these statements appear in the article --

Also, since the high five article is primarily an article authored in large part by myself, I'm not sure I understand your message about vandalism -- can you help explaining this please --Nobaddude (talk) 15:12, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Dude, please stop!

I was working on the Edward Carnby page when it got reverted. The article is about a video game character FEW people care about. It was already "too long did not bother to read" so I was shortening it to make it look more like a Wikipedia page should.

It even says near the top that it needed verified citations and a clean up. Now do you see why no one bothers to add to Wikipedia? They know their hard work will just be reverted.

Also, if memory serves me correctly, I started up that page a few years ago. I know that it ain't my property, but still. It is annoying when it keeps getting reverted. 45g (talk) 16:18, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Mv-22's edit at Doctor of Laws

Hi CardinalDan,

Mv-22's edit was not vandalism. This is a content dispute. I expect you were misled because he (or she) apparently accidentally signed the change. --Trovatore (talk) 00:50, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you taking a position in the content dispute, or just talking about the signature? --Trovatore (talk) 03:08, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Bad reversion

The statement that you reverted as "vandalism" on the Glen Beck page is absolutely true, verifyable, and supported by a citation. Could you please give a justification for your reversion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qvdm (talk • contribs) 06:23, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Considering that the information that you posted was libelous in nature, as well as the source you put in was false and unreachable, the warning was justified. CardinalDan (talk) 06:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)
The information that I posted is in no way libelous. Please do me the courtesy of reading the statment I added carefuly, word for word and then reading up on the definition of Libel before you revert my next edit again. Also, the source that I posted IS reachable. I would like to resolve this issue amicably and not get into a 3RR here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Qvdm (talk • contribs) 06:56, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Please Provide Proper References on Datil Pepper Page

You have edited the page on Datil Peppers to suggest that the pepper was introduced to St. Augustine by a jelly maker in the 1880s. However, you have failed to provide any evidence in support of this claim (the reference provided says nothing about this.) It is widely agreed that the peppers were introduced either when the Minorcans arrived or sometime very soon thereafter. Until you can provide reputable references in support of your claim, please do not edit the page. Thanks,

Foreign Language

Hi - just wondering - do you normally have success with A1 for foreign language articles?

In any case, it's also a copyvio so we'll get it either way - just wondering your thoughts. Thanks.  7  02:38, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Well, I just noticed from reading the article (I have a rough understanding of Chinese) that it is also a advertising blurb. I guess I acidentally put in the A1 instead of the G11 button. CardinalDan (talk) 02:40, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

BMW article.

Thanks for the input on the article in question, I don't agree with you, but that is no reason for me not to say thanks. The reason I have reverted the article is that the arguments given are along the lines of "I don't agree" without any clearer reasons given, there have been no replies to the talk page topic in 2 weeks and no one has shown any relevance.

A shareholder who died a long time ago used to work with the Nazis, this does not seem that unusual given Germany's past.

I would be more interested in the actions of BMW in WW2, than those of a previous shareholder who has his past documented on his own article.

119.173.81.176 (talk) 11:00, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your response. The reason I felt it had to be reverted was that it had to be discussed first in the talk page. Also, although you say that the shareholder part and his role in both the company and with the Nazis are relevant to BMW's history, although you do bring up some good points. Perhaps, as a compromise, if no one does bring up any objections, you perhaps can trim it down, but not delete it entirely, such as making note of it but not putting too much emphasis on it. CardinalDan (talk) 18:17, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I just get worried when I see this type of stuff on a German article, it is too easy to get emotional over any Nazi connection - I am interested in what is said on the talk page and I see no harm in waiting. 119.173.81.176 (talk) 13:25, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I removed your CSD tag from V The Hedgehog since the article's about a fictional character and not a real person. I know it says she's "also a creator of videos on Youtube" which suggests that the name's being used as an alias by an actual person, but I think the main topic of the article is the alias/character itself and so A7 doesn't apply.

your removal of United States Senate testimony on water fluoridation

Hello,

Video of Dr. J. William Hirzy speaking before the United States Senate on water fluoridation is most certainly relevant information for a Wikipedia article on "Water fluoridation".

It is most certainly not "vandalism", as you say.

Please inform me in more detail what issue you have with this link, and why you would be permitted to remove it from public view on Wikipedia:

Intelligent Anti-Fluoride Statement - Dr. J. William Hirzy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRLz4a7lDVM

The major problem I see is that what you are talking about is not really notable or relevant in terms of Wikipedia, nor is it very informative. To me, it seems that it is more of a humorous nugget, not really anything that can be made into an article. It probably is better suited for a user subpage, not an actual article.

March 14 alleged vandalism

My updates were not vandalism. Please indicate why you feel they were. Shoebucket (talk) 03:41, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

See WP:NOTABILITY. CardinalDan (talk) 03:48, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Are you suggesting that a Wiki page need be created before the addition is made to March 14? I still do not see how this in any way constitutes as WP:VANDALISM, as no deliberate attempt was made to "compromise the integrity of Wikipedia". My edit included a reference to a pop culture observance of March 14. Shoebucket (talk) 03:56, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Considering that all you were doing was adding an event that is non-notable, as well as one considered as a joke, I think I am justified in reverting your edits. Making baseless accusations also does not reflect well on you. CardinalDan (talk) 04:53, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
I ask again to please indicate how it is non-notable. It is a valid reference to a pop culture observance. Shoebucket (talk) 15:27, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Let's see, no significant 3rd party coverage, no reliable sources given, no independent sources given, and no verifiable evidence given. One website given (a joke one at that) does not presume notability. CardinalDan (talk) 06:22, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

bias?

Please explain why an EPA Senior Vice President's testimony on water fluoridation before the US Senate is somehow "not conducive" to an article on water fluoridation.

here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRLz4a7lDVM

You stated above that Environmental Protection Agency Senior Vice President Dr. J. William Hirzy's testimony before the United States Senate on water fluoridation "adds nothing" to a Wikipedia article on the very same subject. This is a appears to be a nonsensical statement.

Please explain. It appears you are using your position as an editor to promote personal views.

Is there someone else I should be speaking to?

Why so harsh?

I will ask again. Wikipedia policy says to assume good faith and not to bite the newcomers. By threatening repeatedly to have me banned, I do not feel your actions consistent with these policies. For you to assume that I have not acted in good faith is rather presumptuous, but I suppose in your mind, a lowly contributor with a mere 4 edits can't possibly have anything to contribute here. I see now that Wikipedia is nothing but an elitist club, a playground for people who think like you. There are all these supposed "policies" here but I see many editors are not becoming of these. 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:13, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Considering your actions, especially on the Joe Lieberman article, and the attack that you placed on my talk page, I must assume that you are a vandal. Now, if you would start constructive edits, then I may change my opinion. CardinalDan (talk) 06:15, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
If you knew Joe Lieberman you would know that my edit was entirely factual and that I acted with good faith. 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:19, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
A violation of BLP is not factual. CardinalDan (talk) 06:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
The claim: For something to be factual, it must not violate BLP.
Quote from BLP page:
  • Neutral point of view (NPOV)
  • Verifiability
  • No original research
To disprove your statement, we must only conjure up a true statement that is one of the following:
  • Non-neutral -- the truth has a known bias.
  • Not verifiable -- see also Goedel's theorem.
  • Original research -- so if I research something on my own, it's not factual? I'd better start researching gravity so maybe I can fly.
We all know a vast majority of truths fit in to one or more of these categories. Of course, if something does not fit your convenient view of the world, you will threaten to have the user that proposed it be banned. 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Considering your edits, you have violated BLP by making a malicious redirect and adding a blog link as a reference (which is not allowed in most circumstances). CardinalDan (talk) 06:56, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Blog link in question has a video of the subject backing up my claims. Oh, let me guess, you didn't bother to view the citation... 174.21.0.5 (talk) 06:58, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
I already looked. Removed since it was from a blog (for the most part, blogs are not allowed as references), and the link was clearly not NPOV, since it clearly is an attack. CardinalDan (talk) 07:04, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Cosmic Ray

I'm new to Wikipedia. I made an edit on the Cosmic Ray page. I looked at the history today and saw these new entries (including my entry):

(cur) (prev) 06:30, 29 October 2009 CardinalDan (talk | contribs) m (38,650 bytes) (Reverted 1 edit by 117.204.89.40 identified as vandalism to last revision by JosephMonroe. using TW) (undo) (cur) (prev) 06:30, 29 October 2009 117.204.89.40 (talk) (38,665 bytes) (undo) (Tag: possible test edits) (cur) (prev) 05:03, 29 October 2009 JosephMonroe (talk | contribs) (38,650 bytes) (undo)

Can you tell me what's going on? Is someone stating that I am vandalizing the page? I'm not following it. The reason I inserted a "citation needed" is explained on my talk page. That statement of about the "cosmic ray being a misnomer" cites a page in an academic press book. When I searched that book there is no such mention defining that cosmic ray is a misnomer. Not anywhere in its 133 pages.

I became alerted to this fact, as well as concerned, because I searched the exact phrase and found the false citation used in over 1000 websites. They are using what they found in Wikipedia, a statement that cites a non-existent definition.

I'd like to know how to contact the individual that entered that citation and ask them to re-verify the source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JosephMonroe (talk • contribs) 18:40, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, you didn't vandalize the page, it was the individual after you who did and his edit was the one that I reverted. You didn't do anything wrong. As for your question, do you have a references that would confirm what you are saying? CardinalDan (talk) 19:29, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


When I searched for the definition of cosmic ray and cosmic particle, I found numerous exact quotes of: “The term ray is a misnomer, as cosmic particles arrive individually, not in the form of a ray or beam of particles.”

The source of that “misnomer” quote, is cited as reference as 1.^ National Research Council (2008). Managing Space Radiation Risk in the New Era of Space Exploration. National Academies Press. p. 21 ISBN 030911380

I located the entire text on the National Academic Press website. I downloaded the entire book, in PDF document of 133 pages, “Managing Space Radiation Risk in the New Era of Space Exploration.”

I looked at page 21 and there is not a phrase about “term cosmic ray is a misnomer.” In fact in the entire document there is no such mention of that nor the word “misnomer” anywhere. This document even has a glossary and they don’t list a definition for cosmic ray..

There are at least 457 websites that use this exact phrase (“The term ray is a misnomer, as cosmic particles arrive individually, not in the form of a ray or beam of particles.”) quoting something regarding the definition of cosmic rays. Many of the websites are academic, science websites and others one would typically hold in high esteem. Many reference back to Wikipedia. So unless I missed something, there are hundreds (if not thousands) of websites, blogs and PDF documents using the unsubstantiated source in Wikipedia.

That statement simply does not exist in the cited text. But, I didn’t feel comfortable enough to remove the statement. I’d prefer to locate the individual who inserted it and question his/her source. Although I looked at the subject source myself and didn’t find it, I am for now giving them the benefit of the doubt. Perhaps the statement is valid but the source cited was an error. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JosephMonroe (talk • contribs) 19:51, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I am new to wiki and want to make sure I follow all the rules and dont offend anyone, but I am new so am unfamiliar with all the rules. can you please help me. I noticed the page I am working on was taged with a few things but am not sure how to fix them.

Wine to water has recieved a great deal of attention in the local, national and international media. This is due to its recent large expansion and the president of the organization being a CNN top ten hero. If you can offer any guidance or if you see me doing something wrong please advice me on my mistakes. thank you for any help.

If you keep getting harassed by the same vandal, then you can make a report for RPP or request a checkuser if multiple IPs vandalize you talkpage at the same time. Otherwise, just stay on watch, and get the occasional laugh at their attempts. CardinalDan (talk) 04:57, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure I've figured out who is doing it. Someone has been constantly removing content from Warped Tour 2009 for no reason more than they dislike one of the bands listed. They got a temp ban for vandalism right before this started. The IP came off the ban, the vandalism continued and my talk page was hit again. I'm convinced this person is either using different computers or just having friends try to screw with me now. DX927 (talk) 03:51, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Well, if you feel that you are getting harassed by one IP address, then you should report him/her to AIV. If it is multiple IPs/named users, and they are using similar patterns of vandalism/harassment in the same articles/talk pages, then you might think about opening up a sockpuppet investigation.

Dude, you have to admit, Ron Harper did not like being a Clipper. He does have a stuttering problem, though he has fought hard to work through it.

thanx tony Amhunt84 (talk) 23:32, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Amhunt84 - I just happened to be stopping by here and thought I would offer my unbiased and unsolicited thoughts: You don't need to worry about the comment on your talk page and no apologies need to be issued. The comment in the article's talk page edit history won't get noticed (and is difficult to have erased), and the comment on your talk page is harmless (it's the gentlest first warning that is ever issued) and it clearly says "it might not have been your intention". I think everyone understands that accidents happen. Thanks, and happy editing.  7  23:38, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

In the last few years humans have started eating more and more corn. This is having a devastating effect on the environment and on our health. Not only eating corn, but also consuming corn-fed cows, is bad for your health. Corn-fed beef has got higher levels of saturated fat than cattle that has been fed grass, has been concluded out of a study. And corn makes many animals sick so antibiotics have to be used to cure them. New corn hybrids need to be fed much more fertilizers than other corn, which is causing a rise in nitrogen on fields. These chemicals find their way into rivers and groundwater, and in the estuary of the Mississipi this has already resulted to the death of marine life in 12.000 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico. Not only these chemicals our dangerous, but also the amount of energy needed to produce them is enormous. Half a gallon of fossil fuel is used to be able to produce one single bushel of corn. An area more than twice the size of New York has got corn growing on it. Corn sweeteners are nowadays being used instead of sugar, which is probably related to the rise of patients suffering under diabetes type 2. [2]

          the problem: I read the 'Turks of Western Thrace' article.I was born and live in the region.The article

is no doubt a work of fanaticals in the best case.More propably is a work of the Turkish Intelligence or the Foreign Affairs Ministry.So,as I could not believe my eyes of the terrible lies I was reading I decided to edit it as a form of protest to such a ridicilous form of propaganda.And there came your message about 'vandalising articles etc. etc.'. Well,Mr 'CardinalDan' vandalisation to me is allowing such an article in wikipedia without checking the trueth of its 'facts'.I see you are a biologist and anhtropologist.Being responsible for articles that have to do with HISTORIC ACCURASY means you should check the reliability of the resources of this article.Otherwise you become an 'innocent' tool in the hands of every propaganda mechanism.I dont accept this,simply because false articles like this affect the lives of thousands of people.I live there and work with these people.They have plenty of money and all the freedom u could dream off.They also have the backing of a huge militarised country such as Turkey,80.000.000 people.The true minority is the Christian society who pretend as nothing is going on in order not to provoke the Junda that runs modern Turkey.As a Greek Citizen I demand you do your 'job' in a more responsible way.Sorry for my aggresive style but imagine an article about your hometown speaking of a Martian Minority.

Re Proposed deletion of Correspondence of the 18th Century Naturalists

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Correspondence of the 18th Century Naturalists, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! CardinalDan - I have removed the PROD on this article because I think it has potential as a very interesting and well sourced list. Certainly it needs cleanup and it may well be as you suggest, have its contents merged into articles for the individual naturalists. That said, this was the 1st article by Kdksobiech and not a bad one at that--well sourced, just not in perfect WP style. I have left him a message here suggesting ways he might improve the list. You should have left a welcome and notice on his page when you placed the prod.--Mike Cline (talk) 14:25, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Donzaleigh Abernathy

Hi there.

Re. recent additions to Donzaleigh Abernathy which you removed; I spoke to a user in the help channel (at length), and what happened is this;

Donzaleigh (talk · contribs) added something somewhat promotional and unreferenced, several times. They did not understand Wikipedia policies on WP:BRD etc. They were warned.

Their friend, Madamewus (talk · contribs), then tried to add exactly the same thing - and was blocked as a sock.

Madamewus came into the IRC help channel, and I explained all about policies etc; they requested an unblock (see their talk page), and they now intend to explain what they would like to add on talk:Donzaleigh Abernathy, and they will provide references.

Therefore, please could you look out for their discussion there, and comment on it. Many thanks,  Chzz  ►  18:19, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

I appreciate your revert here. Hope the effort wasn't too taxing :) Tiderolls 00:38, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

The Haverford School, THE League section

Could you please explain to me why you removed the section from The Haverford School page on THE League? Thanks and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Care to respond to me???

—Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.196.173.20 (talk) 13:37, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

I did not delete the particular section you are referring to, it was another editor. But from what I have seen from that section, it doesn't seem notable to add into the article. CardinalDan (talk) 21:30, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Who deleted it then? And how is it not notable? Did you attend The Haverford School? I assume no. And you wouldn't understand the criticality of The League. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.196.173.20 (talk) 00:00, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Check the history of the article, since I don't know who did it. As for your assertion of the notability of the part in question, bring it up on the article's talk page. CardinalDan (talk) 02:34, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism?

Since when is insertion of a [clarification needed] request considered vandalism? Do you think the word "version" is clear in "Brain stem death has been the United Kingdom version of brain death"? If so, what is it supposed to mean? 71.198.176.22 (talk) 03:51, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Edits to Space Habitat page

The edits I made to the space habitat page were not vandalism. I made beneficial updates to the a key section of the site that was not accurate and did not convey proper wording to emphasize the importance of the section. The edit I made was superior to the prior version and I believe that it should be placed back into the article for the benefit of all readers.

Sincerely

Rolla High School

Hey, Just curious why you removed my entry on the Rolla High School page listing Lexxxi LaRue as someone of significance from that school. Is a famous pornographic actress not important enough to list under notable graduates? My edit defiantly wasn't vandalism like it was listed as. Anyway, I don't have much experience making edits so I understand that you were probably correct removing my edit, I'm just curious why? 64.251.149.238 (talk) 00:18, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

  • Do you have any sources that confirms her notability? Just because you say that she is a porn star does not make her notable. You need to supply a citation that asserts her notability. CardinalDan (talk) 01:32, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Well, that depends on what you mean by sources. Theirs plenty of... information (porn) online about her. Or were you looking for something that links her with Rolla High School? Basically, what type of source do I need to have to satisfy Wikipedia's standards? 64.251.149.238 (talk) 01:59, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

  • Has she ever been featured on any magazines such as Playboy or Hustler? Has she won a porn award at the association's awards show? Was she ever featured on a television show on a major cable network? Those type of things. CardinalDan (talk) 19:08, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Invincible (MGK song)

Hello CardinalDan. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Invincible (MGK song), a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A9 does not apply if the artist has an article. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 19:28, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

Help with Dan Nainan age

I recently re did my article on dan nainan and someone added this line

Dan graduated from Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda, Maryland in 1979.

and then cited a vidio with dan nainan that has text which is word for word copy of the wikiedia page. This is not a valid citation and also does not have relitive infomation and does not make sense because he was born in 1981 and according to the line graduated high school in 1979 thats three before he was born. I created the orignal dan nainan wikipedia page and had similiar trouble with this guy posting this line. I dont want to delete because he will just repost it. Can you please tell me how i should handle this because it false infomation and a bad citation

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest
November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
