Hazara people

Hi respected scholar of the Internet. I am not pleased with the article you have about Hazara people. It has a lot of mistakes and errors. I made an edit to correct these mistakes but you deleted it as expected. Haha, I don't take Wikipedia seriously anyways, who does? But it is open in the Internet for people to see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.3.146.9 (talk) 02:10, 19 October 2014 (UTC)

The information on media council of papua new guinea is biased and inadequate. The allegations of fraud were validated to be an oversight on the part of the auditor. It has been verified as a flaw and mcpng is now functional.

The thread of Information on mcpng is off the logic. It shifts dramatically to its former executive director and fails to provide intellectual and industrial contribution to its role in papua new guinea. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.10.124.3 (talk) 02:59, 20 October 2014 (UTC)

wesfunk wiki page

Thanks for your message. I am the webmaster for Wesfunk.ca and Wes Funk asked me to update his wiki page. He said that he tried (under the login Funkwww), but became frustrated with the process, and so he asked me to simply copy/paste the info from the bio of his website. I understand about the copyright issues; even though he is the author of the content of his webpage, I will ask him to write something different for his wiki page.

Paul Cotton

Hi, I recently removed the redirect #REDIRECT [[Poco]], because someone else had added it. Links for "Paul_Cotton_(musician)" should go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Cotton_(musician) and not https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poco.Captcotton (talk) 22:02, 21 October 2014 (UTC)captcotton

However, Paul Cotton (musician) currently redirects to Poco, so that's where the link is going to go when someone clicks on it. Otherwise they will be going to a blank page. ... discospinster talk 22:07, 21 October 2014 (UTC)

redirecting of Throw

Hi!

I just want to know why the "Throw" entry is automatically redirected to "Throwing" when there are other Throw entries that are in wikipedia, such as this: Throw (band). I remember there was a time when simply entering "Throw" would take you to a page that allowed you to choose which "Throw" iteration you mean: band, the act of throwing, etc. Now, it simply redirects to "Throwing." Why is this so? It makes searching for the other legitimate "Throw" entries harder. Just a curious question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fugazikid (talk • contribs) 02:41, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

The article was changed to a redirect before the Throw (band) article was created. Nonetheless, we can't have blank pages hanging around, so that's why I restored it. ... discospinster talk 02:47, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Your edit also removed innocent templates. Besides, Wikipedia is WP:NOTCENSORED, so there is no reason to remove the painting. ... discospinster talk 02:48, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi again, I see you have reverted my changes, but I don't see any reason to keep the image. In fact, I believe it should be better to have the image removed as:

1. It doesn't relate to any points described in the Wikipedia article 2. It's offensive and would motivate future visitors, such as me at the first time, to stop reading.

I understand your point that Wikipedia is not censored, but leaving the image there serves no purpose at all, instead, it encourages people to leave the article.

Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giovannimounir (talk • contribs) 02:51, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

It does have a purpose, it's a famous painting of Jesus. Plus it's not clear why it's offensive, or any more so than a depiction of Jesus being crucified. ... discospinster talk 02:55, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm not trying to debate or something, but leaving the image there seriously serves no purpose. I'm sorry for what I'm going to say but let me make it clearer, I understand your point that Wikipedia is not censored, but that's not a valid reason to keep the image. For example, it shouldn't be acceptable to put an inappropriate image next to Bill Gates' article, because it would serve no purpose at all, but would in fact encourage visitors to stop reading the article, it would be better however to put templates that actually support the points of the article. With the same logic, there are no points present in the article I'm editing that would be supported with such offensive image. So I ask you to please remove the image as I can find it of no use. Thank you for understanding. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giovannimounir (talk • contribs) 02:58, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

I see what you mean now, I think that wasn't clear at first but your point of Jesus being crucified made it clearer! Thank you, but as the description of the image indicated "The Mocking of Christ" I couldn't notice what it was really about. So perhaps adding a description would be more helpful. Thanks and sorry again! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Giovannimounir (talk • contribs) 03:00, 23 October 2014 (UTC)

Non-breaking space entities

What is the purpose of inserting non-breaking space entities into cartridge designations, i.e. your last edit at Heckler & Koch G3? I'm not really opposed to it, I'm just curious about the reasoning, as I don't see why a regular space (or even no space at all, which would be my preference) wouldn't work just as well. - Bardbom (talk) 04:31, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

My Godzilla Edit

The edit I made is accurate to Legendary Picture's announcements and displays at Comic Con. There were zero details given regarding the new licenses they acquired. Mothra, Rodan, and King Ghidorah were confirmed to be acquired by Legendary, but that was as far as the details went. Not a single one of them was either confirmed or denied for the next Godzilla movie.

Saying that they are all confirmed to appear is deliberate disinformation and that is not something I usually want other people to experience.

So if my edit can be reinstated, that'd be great as it's the only true and accurate information regarding the news about the next Godzilla movie by Legendary Pictures. No confirmation about appearances by Mothra, Rodan, or Ghidorah have been confirmed by Legendary at this time, only that they now have the licenses to use them. Whether one or more appears in Godzilla 2 while one or more appears in Godzilla 3 is unknown at this time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.208.88.232 (talk) 05:25, 27 October 2014 (UTC)

The truth

Hello

"We feel it every moment of our lives but for physicists, gravity is the longest running unsolved mystery of the universe. Why do all objects that have mass pull on one another? Cutting-edge theories are proposing unexpected answers: Gravity could be another force in disguise, a thermodynamic mirage, or even, a shadow of a hidden holographic universe. If so, the force that holds us to the surface of the earth, and holds the earth in orbit around the sun, may be a trick of the mind. We feel it, but it may not be real." Why are we talking fiction on a page of fact. Gravity is an unproven force. Yet you include it in a list of proven forces? I think if you are creating a page about fundamental forces you can't include make belief. It has now even been proven that gravity is another version of the strong force. I think you need to update your knowledge with physics! I'm not trying to insult or vandalize. I love science and knowledge. However we need to use more sense when discussing what we know. Not include unproven things in knowledge about fact!

Want to add bible meaning

Hi - thanks for being attentive to my request ;)


As I'm a Christian, I also wanted to add this:

The feminine name Alexandra does not occur in the Bible but the Egyptian city of Alexandria is mentioned a few times (Acts 6:9, 27:6), as are four or five men named Alexander (Mark 15:21, Acts 4:6, 19:33, 1 Timothy 1:20). The names Alexandra, Alexander and Alexandria all carry the same meaning. Their differences come from grammatical constructs that make the name either male, female or local.

From this page:

www.abarim-publications.com/Meaning/Alexandra.html#.VFbi5dm9LCQ

Are you fine with it?

I am not very computer savvy unfortunatley and I am sure I am doing stuff wrong. I noted reference to an alumni which is really so long ago and not necessary to have on this surely? I just wanted to say what was done differently since this was written so long ago.

Can you help me figure out what I am doing wrong and how I can just update it

The problem is that you are adding content that sounds like it's meant to promote the school. For example, calling it "vibrant", and that it's an "easy walk" from the houses. It looks like something that belongs on a sales brochure rather than an encyclopedia. You can add more information, but it has to be written in a neutral manner, and just include the facts with no opinions. ... discospinster talk 17:45, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

MarcoUsage Sockpuppet investigation

Since you have dealt with this guy before I thought I would inform you I have opened up a sockpuppet investigation on a new user User:MarcoUsage1 performing the same edits as MacroUsage to the Kuwait national basketball team page.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 19:18, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Sounds about right. ... discospinster talk 21:42, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

C37.94

Hello,

You have removed a link that I consider relevant. Honestly I know in deep C37.94, we created the page and we are authors of relevant documents on what this contribution to wikipedia is based on

So why you have removed the link to one of the articles?

The problem is you keep adding references to the same web page to a lot of articles, so it looks like you are trying to promote the company. ... discospinster talk 16:13, 4 November 2014 (UTC)


I understand what you say, nevertheless I may feel this criteria is not uniform, let me explain. I'm author of several books i.e. Triple Play: Building the converged network for IP, VoIP and IPTV and a large number of white papers about telecom technologies. With this knoweledge (and a few hours of rewriting) I have contributed to Wikipedia with several articles to serve the readers willing to understand complex topìcs. HOWEVER if you think I try to promote my company (or myself!) rather than offering knowelege and information to the readers, then please proceed to remove ALL the links that I have inserted in Wikipedia pointing to my books and white papers (and the pictures too). That's all.

I'm not interested in removing all of them, I was only looking at was has been done recently. ... discospinster talk 03:39, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

So if you do not main I will include this link to my original white paper and includes more information regarding new protection strategies of High Voltage Power Substations releases by IEEE C37.94 standarization body that applies world wide. Honestly there are not many information regarding this topic in the cloud. Rgds. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jose Manuel Caballero (talk • contribs) 09:37, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Don Quixote book

Lets get something something straight. This Don Quixote book is a book of complete lies about me. My name is Barbara Hinson. My family and hundreds of others no good evil doers gained billions of dollars at my expense. You should be ashamed to publish such boldface bullshit without knowing the truth about any of it.

Why did you remove this "I want you to unblock my school IP Address already, the wait it getting old, May 9, 2015, that is too long, the IP is 216.145.90.221, please unblock it. 216.145.89.170 (talk) 22:24, 10 October 2014 (UTC) Sorry, that IP has not shown anything but vandalism since the last block expired.

I just archived some older messages. It can still be found here. And I'm still not going to unblock the IP address. If you'd like to request someone else to unblock it, you can use the procedure at WP:UNBLOCK. ... discospinster talk 16:50, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

Why is the tag still on this page when the contentious material has been deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Seascaper (talk • contribs) 21:47, 10 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't know. ... discospinster talk 02:46, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Is that the best answer you can come up with.Sounds a bit childish to me.If you are refusing to remove the tag please explain why.Otherwise let me know who I can complain to about your refusal.This artists name can do without this.

Mistake

The article Samhati - empowering poor Bangladeshi women through education u tagged for deletion is not my creation, message the proper user. thanks Night Fury (A good day to Die Hard) 09:03, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

I think the warning automatically went to you because you moved the article, thus being the "creator" of the new one. Sorry for the confusion. ... discospinster talk 15:54, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism [3] on my user page! I didn't notice it until today. --Drm310 (talk) 15:57, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

No problem. ... discospinster talk 16:20, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Reporting of Abusive IP Socks

Greetings, I would like to bring to attention of sockpuppeting IP abuse on the Russo-Georgian War and on other articles. These IPs are: [From ISP: OJSC Rostelecom in Yaroslavl, Russia]

[From ISP: Neostrada Plus, Gdansk, Pomerania Region, Poland]

For the first 4 IPs, they all participate in edit-warring on the Russ-Georgia War and:

  • Attempt to advance a pro-Russian POV by changing diction, phrasing and removing items critical of Russia eg. deleting the following line and I quote " Russian forces occupy Abkhazia and South Ossetia in violation of the ceasefire. "
  • Have the same editing behavior and conflicts on the same exact content eg. deleting names of the conflict that are negative towards Russia (removing and I quote "Russian invasion of Georgia or Europe's First War of the 21st Century"), Russian-Georgian cyber-warfare, and so on.
  • Using similar edit summaries, similar language eg. "non-neutral", "NPOV", "attempted vandalism" and so on.

It is apparent that within a mere 4 hours, this individual switched from their Russian IPs to a Polish dynamic Neostrada IP, enforce their desired version of the article and continue their edit-war. Now upon checking the edits of these first 4 IPs, the 4th one (denoted as ***) led to the encounter of a whole swath of other IPs, this time all using Pomeranian IPs from ISP Neostrada, and editing on Vietnam-related articles, with similar POV, similar conflicts over their disapproval of certain diction and phrases, and similar language being used.

This is totally unacceptable behavior. Many thanks for your time in reading this, and hopefully there will be a just and effective solution to this problem.

Sorry, I think this is a bit more than I am prepared to handle. You might be able to find some help at WP:Administrator intervention against vandalism or perhaps WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring or WP:Neutral point of view/Noticeboard. ... discospinster talk 18:46, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Pardon me!

Sorry for you having to deal with the "vandalism" perpetrated by my account. My little brother managed to get on my account, but forgot that I get email alerts on my phone and became immediately alert to his activity. Won't happen again, thanks! Cb651 (talk) 00:23, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

Exit Signs

You just removed my link. I placed my link there because the content that was there previously was a broken link and I had the best resource comparative to that URL. If the link for the content where the resource is from does not work, and you will not accept mine, then please remove all the content that came from that original link on the Wiki page, because without a source that content could be considered plagiarized.

78.133.230.129 -- he's at it once again

The moment his latest ban was lifted, the user with the IP of 78.133.230.129, despite multiple warnings and chances, immediately went right back to vandalizing articles, most notably MasterChef ones.

I think this person has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that he will never stop.

I see that the vandal has been blocked again. ... discospinster talk 18:41, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

buffet

Excuse me, in Canadian English, buffet is pronounced [bəˈfeɪ] or [bɐˈfeɪ] ? À la 雞 (talk) 18:35, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm not really good with phonetics, but I always pronounced it like [bʌˈfeɪ]. ... discospinster talk 18:41, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Most people in my region pronounce it as [bəˈfeɪ], however Canada is a vast territory and contains many different dialects and accents which means it will have regional differences in the pronunciation.- McMatter (talk)/(contrib) 18:52, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
Also, I'm of Italian descent (growing up with the Italian language) so I tend to pronounce vowels more strongly. ... discospinster talk 19:17, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
