Vandalism

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my talk page. It was a sock puppet of someone whose edits I removed on multiple pages yesterday (adding the same text). I see you added a CSD tag to that user's talk page. Just thought I'd point out WP:TWINKLE, a tool you can enable through your preferences (under the Gadgets tab) which makes reporting vandalism a bit easier. Basically just go to a user's talk page, click "arv" at the top (it might be in a drop-down or on the left, depending on your other preferences) and it pops up a form to report a vandalism-only account. Twinkle is also useful for a whole lot of other things. --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:15, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Follow-up: I now see you have a Twinkle badge on your userpage and did report the user to WP:AIV. Nevermind all that then :) --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 19:16, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

You're welcome. Unfortunately, that particular situation has been going on for almost a month now. DivineAlpha (talk) 23:44, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Your Reverts

How is adding information from the episode itself as it airs on tv not constructive? You had reverted this edit citing its not constructive but how is it not constructive? I put the information back onto the episode as well as added more from the final round. Thenchick (talk) 03:55, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

I'm unfamiliar with the subject, but I reverted your edit because it contained abusive words. However, if you're meaning that's what was said in the episode then I deeply apologize for the revert and the warning. (Please remember to sign your comments, by the way). DivineAlpha (talk) 03:56, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

FYI spotted dick :) --— Rhododendrites ^talk \\ 05:02, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Alright, alright... the edit activity of gibberish was pretty intense earlier that I probably was out of sync at some moments! DivineAlpha (talk) 05:19, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hello,divine what's wring with the article you reverted recently having title of " Jirikhimti"? You have showed just silly reasons & reverted but I don't simply accept to your ideas of reverting & I think this might be totally constructive therefore, I want to request you to put it as saved or what I wanna say that few citations are added with article even though you you didn't care them too.You need to ask other editors whether this is constructive or or not.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahendra Niraula (talk • contribs) 10:31, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your message. I regret I should have said something. About your edit, I reverted back to an older revision of the article because it contained material that is not related to the subject at all (you inserted some sections of how to edit Wikipedia, or something like that), but maybe I should have manually removed those sections you added in the article. I realize you were showing good faith, but again, the content was irrelevant to the article topic. DivineAlpha (talk) 18:03, 31 January 2015 (UTC)

Francis Eally (actually Calley) Gray

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances_Eally_Gray - this page refers to Francis CALLEY (not EALLY) Gray; I was merely trying to correct the spelling of his name. comment added by Jbd1 (talk • contribs) 03:50, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

The article's title was showing Eally, so that's why it was reverted. Do you have an additional reliable source that confirms the person's middle name was Calley? DivineAlpha (talk) 04:05, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Sure. There are plenty, but one identifier is here (Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Retirement Series 8:237. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2011). I should note too that the first name is also Francis, not Frances. It looks like the source currently cited (this) just has the name wrong. Let me know if there's more information needed to prove the spelling and middle name. Jbd1 (talk — Preceding undated comment added 13:36, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

 Done. Apologies for the inconvenience; this page (which that place itself was mentioned in the article), mentioned his middle name was Calley, and the corrected first name. Now not sure if other editors working on the article (to improve it) agree... DivineAlpha (talk) 15:53, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Thank you! Jbd1 (talk — Preceding undated comment added 17:46, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Revision deletion?

Would you like anything that was posted here removed from visibility in the history? Yngvadottir (talk) 21:10, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

It's probably best to do so. DivineAlpha (talk) 21:22, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

OK, all mopped up, and also the other thing. Ping me if this recurs. Yngvadottir (talk) 21:52, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Alright, apology accepted. However, you evaded a block by switching your IPA and created an account. It was possible to edit your talk page (on the account that was blocked), and apologized there to the blocking admin; using {{unblock|reason=your reason here ~~~~}}. Please read our blocking policy for more information. DivineAlpha (talk) 22:41, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

your Wikipedia friend.

A kitten for you!

Andabandaanda (talk) 21:36, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for that

My friend stole my account and did that. I changed the password so he won't do it again. From thewisesponge.

A cup of tea for you!

Nice, relaxing herbal tea, shared with a new friend over a chuckle. My first experience with a vandal gang, glad you had my back. FourViolas (talk) 03:57, 4 February 2015 (UTC)

Legal threats

His "death threat" in the edit summary doesn't equate a legal threat. Just letting you know. I have added the death threat to the vandalism report I've already filed on the IP/sock account. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:22, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

@Winkelvi: Thanks for that. Obviously should have used the other one, but the way they were acting it may have eventually come to that level. DivineAlpha (talk) 02:31, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

They're just a garden-variety vandal, looking for some kicks and online drama. I doubt the death threat is or any following legal threat would be real in any way. -- WV ● ✉ ✓ 02:38, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Reverts of Andy Hill (film music supervisor)

Please bear with me, DivineAlpha. I am in the process of reformatting this article as Andy Hill (American music producer), as determined by Wikipedia in the article merge discussion. Ghostrider51 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 03:55, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

@ Ghostrider51 - Yeah, I just realized about that AFD/RFD ending notice, and restored your revision like a minute later. DivineAlpha (talk) 04:04, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

Apologies

Hello, I just wanted to apologize for my vandalism of the Resident Evil page. I did it as a joke to show one of my friends (it was a really stupid joke I know, but he laughed.) I made it super obvious in the hopes that it wouldn't be there long. I honestly figured a bot would catch it, so I'm sorry for making your day a little harder. But I promise no more vandalism from me! Have a nice day, --71.164.247.209 (talk) 04:34, 11 February 2015 (UTC)

Hamilton Dukes hockey team

please I wrote a lot of factual information re Hamilton dukes (living here for 40 years and a hamiltion hockey historian) what did you find non neutral please re this team/franchise — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.69.14.243 (talk) 17:16, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. Regarding the content you inserted, it was controversial, as it contained negative or biased opinions about the hockey team as facts, without anything [backed up] to confirm such views altogether. This is considered original research, which I don't believe Wikipedia accepts. DivineAlpha (talk) 03:26, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Jon Klein (CNN) Wiki

Hi DivineAlpha, I am an employee of Jon Klein (CNN) at his company, TAPP. He asked that we re-do is page for him. You undid my revisions 2 minutes after I finished. Can we work together on this? https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jonathan_Klein_(CNN)&action=history — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evantapp (talk • contribs) 23:43, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

@Eventapp - I don't believe (or confident) that those sources you added are reliable. You removed some high quality sources such as CNN and NY/LA Times citations. Also, the intro was written like an advertisement. DivineAlpha (talk) 00:31, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi DivineAlpha, the links we added were from timewarner.com, the Financial Times, Mediabistro, and our O&O sites. Are those not reliable sources? Also, the introduction is just explaining our business. How would you suggest we edit that? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Evantapp (talk • contribs) 00:44, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

@Eventapp - I'll look into it sometime this week. DivineAlpha (talk) 01:00, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

Did you have a chance to look into it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Klein_(CNN) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.250.3.200 (talk) 01:12, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

@Eventapp - unfortunately, I haven't had much time. Drmies made some adjustments after I brought it up with that person but it still needs work, in terms of quality. Apologies for the late reply. DivineAlpha (talk) 06:30, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Good catch

Good catch but not remotely good faith; fairly blatant vandalism. Yours, Quis separabit? 12:34, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

@Quis separabit?: Thanks for letting me know. I'll take note of that the next time I see it inserted. DivineAlpha (talk) 16:25, 1 March 2015 (UTC)

Prince Thun

Thank you. I didn't notice that typo. I only wanted to fix Allan Melvin's name, because the link was in red. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inkwell765 (talk • contribs) 07:38, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

@Inkwell765: I have restored the text for you. Apologies for the revert and incorrect notice. I hope you continue to enjoy improving Wikipedia! DivineAlpha (talk) 08:23, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Act of Contrition: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. ToonLucas22 (talk) 22:46, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Changes to Mass

The definition was wrong. Mass is not the ability of matter to absorb energy as it now says. Would you please change it to a proper definition. Mass is resistance to acceleration, mutual gravitational attraction, and, mass is a measurement of energy content of a system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.110.199.167 (talk) 09:53, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

I made an account and will watch a few physics pages for inaccuracies. My user name is Okieoneshinobi. I am not a professional physicist, but have studied most areas in physics and do not mislead people. Thank you for watching this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Okieoneshinobi (talk • contribs) 10:34, 7 March 2015

Hi Okieoneshinobi, thanks for letting me know. The section that was removed was the leading section (the subject is bolded), so that's why I had reverted the edit. Please bold the subject at the beginning to avoid any confusion. DivineAlpha (talk) 20:57, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

OK. Thanks Fuhghettaboutit and I dream of horses for letting me know. Sorry for all the trouble, that place is pretty much the only area I don't know about at all (at the moment anyway) since I rarely used IRC in the past. DivineAlpha (talk) 21:00, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
