Gabe Galloway draft page
[edit]I don't think I made a mistake; I just followed directions as I edited. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:241:8103:5200:E844:910:CB1E:3BA (talk) 23:46, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- You blanked the talk page of 69.129.200.79 and replaced it with an article. There is already a draft of this at Draft:Gabe_Galloway_(civil_rights_lawyer) which you know because you have edited it. Emotionalllama (talk) 23:48, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
BC in Soil
[edit]I checked the source 25 in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_carbon#Presence_in_soils twice and i could not verify the quote, that's why I deleted it. Read it yourself an then undo the 'undo' with a good reason. 134.245.199.112 (talk) 15:18, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
How is simply adding a few sentences "disruptive"? Some of those pages did need clarification as they were misleading (I should know, being a fan of this particular band).
- You are altering information (discography) to suit what "fans" prefer to think as opposed to what is actually factual. This is disruptive. Emotionalllama (talk) 00:38, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
Ok well, maybe not what "fans" and the band themselves prefer, I can see how that is apparently "disruptive", but, for your information, it must be at least noted that the first two albums are not by the same band (it may contain two of the same members, but it is not however the same band), that is a fact, ok. Therefore, while "dubnobasswithmyheadman" is the third album to be released under the name Underworld, it is not by the same band (if you can see what I mean by any of this, basically, two bands, one name). An example would be that while it is the third album under that name, it is the debut by the 'new' version of the band as they disbanded after the release of "Change The Weather" but you wouldn't know that (that wasn't meant in a rude tone by the way). That is why it is a FACT (not trying to be rude but do not and tell me what is and isn't fact) that version of the band had disbanded after "Change The Weather" never to be seen again. It should be at least noted in the description what number the album is in respect to the band which released "dubnobasswithmyheadman". However, to avoid being "disruptive", you call it, I shall not change what is "factual" (it isn't, but I still won't change it). Two words for you, educate yourself. Do not try and lecture fans when you have no knowledge of this band, it's just stupid.
- If you can find a WP:REF reference that the band themselves view their discography this way then OK. Until that time, it is a fan view and disruptive editing. Emotionalllama (talk) 14:21, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Underworld
[edit]It says on their website it is their debut, how would I link this or reference it? Here:http://www.underworldlive.com/news/2014/06/dubnobasswithmyheadman-20th-anniversary-re-issue-show-2/
It states on the page I just linked (take a look) so, as I have stated I was only stating a simple fact and was not being "disruptive" (although I forgot to mention the band view their discography this way as well). I must say, I have an extensive knowledge of this band being a diehard fan, unlike yourself (that wasn't meant in a rude way, it is just that it is well known that they view their discography this way, at least, in the UK it is, which is where they are from. However, they don't get as much attention outside the UK so it is understandable you got your facts mixed up) and would put it to good use if you tell me an easy way to reference my sources. I didn't show the references the first time because I didn't know how to, I don't really understand how to do some of the stuff you linked either, sorry, do I just do a hyperlink or what?
Also, I'm really sorry for being a bit rude earlier, I thought you were a troll due to the fact that it looked as if you were trying to pose as an administrator, even though your account was created only last night and was about to report this matter to a real administrator so they could intervene, until your latest notification showed up and I decided not to. It's just I'm new to this site and was just 'doing my duty' as it were, as a long-term fan of Karl and Rick to change it so it is not misleading to others and so it suits their preferences (info from interviews, their website etc.) I hope you understand this, sorry for any mistakes I've made, they were not intentional or meant maliciously, I just trying to help. If you could reply to this I would be very grateful, have an awesome evening! :) Underworldfan97 (talk) 14:34, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- I wasn't trying to be malicious either. The warnings are basic templates (they can be found here WP:WARN) and they aren't intended to infer that the person using them is an administrator. Articles on bands, films, television series, etc. often have editors trying to push fan theories on them. Wikipedia attempts to be encyclopedic so reliable sources are needed for statements made, especially about living people. You have an awesome evening, too! :) Emotionalllama (talk) 15:40, 26 January 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Underworldfan97, I'm a fan of the band as well, but the issue is that all content added to Wikipedia must be reliably referenced, we can't add allegations and suppositions without backing them up with verifiable sources. Whether Underworld themselves disown their first two albums and view dubnobasswithmyheadman as their "proper" debut is irrelevant, and really they are trying to rewrite their own history: the fact is it IS their third abum, whether they like it or not – WP:SELFPUB states that the artist's own website should only be used as a source if the claim in question is not contentious, which of course in this case it is. Generally a band's own website and social media accounts should be avoided for references. The lead paragraph at the top of the article relates how it was a departure in style for them and that it marked the second version of the band. Richard3120 (talk) 15:43, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

A question
[edit]Have you previously edited with another account? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:11, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- I edited as an IP for a while. Emotionalllama (talk) 17:12, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
- It seemed almost certain that you had edited before, and I wondered whether it was IP editing or another account. Well, welcome to editing with an account, anyway. You seem to be doing good work. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 17:22, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

Julia Lescova
[edit]Hello! I'm Julia Lescova's representative. Maybe you could help me. I was trying to fix an error regarding Julia Lescova's birth date. There was an error - 1982. She was born on July 4th, 1985. Why does it say 1982 in Google and all searche Angie's that rely on Wikipedia? Because someone from Wikipedia wrong false data! Her real birth date is July 4th, 1985. Please help me fix it! Lescovamanagement (talk) 19:19, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- I removed the birth date entirely because it is unreferenced. Wikipedia requires verifiable information especially for biographies of living people. As Lescova's representative, you might want to read the conflict of interest behavioral guideline. Emotionalllama (talk) 19:23, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
Bentley Continental R
[edit]Hi there - I have been making some factual changes and correcting errors on this entry about the vehicle Bentley Continental R. I see you reverted it, just as I was entering a number of citations too. You have stated it is too promotional, or advertising - I would be very grateful if you could guide me here. The reason I ask is because I dont see what I added was any more promotional than the original text - infact it was more factual because I was adding citations too. Best regards, Matt.
- I gave you specific examples on your talk page. Emotionalllama (talk) 20:32, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
- Many thanks for the guidance - I can delete those elements - although, the first example was in the original text. It does seem to be a fine line between what is or is not promotional material on Wikipedia, and largely subjective - one could argue that any entry for a product in current or recent production could be seen as promotional.
- I have a number of citations I was adding - this page has very few - so I will scrutinise the text and make sure it is not promotional. Many thanks for your help, Matt.
- Hang on. You said "the first example was in the original text". Are you copying someone else's text into wikipedia? That is a copyright violation. Emotionalllama (talk) 11:40, 1 February 2016 (UTC)

Moved from Userpage
[edit]Hi, Got your note about removing some external links.
Let me explain. The entry is about Tom Adams, the illustrator. It seemed appropriate to include some images. I put some in, but it looks like I don't have the correct permissions and will have to remove them. That's why I thought some external links that had images of the covers he did made sense. I get cutting the Facebook link and Pinterest. But the flickr group has a lot of his images. It just seemed like the best workaround.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Barnetts1615 (talk • contribs)
- I moved this comment from User:Emotionalllama to here, as messages should be posted on talkpages. Joseph2302 (talk) 18:34, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
- I tried to explain in my edit summary. Your additions don't belong per WP:ELNO which has a list of sites to be avoided including Social networking sites (you linked to facebook and pinterest) as well as discussion forums/groups (you linked a flickr group). The article should be about Adams not promoting him. Emotionalllama (talk) 19:31, 2 February 2016 (UTC)

Pit Bull
[edit]Yes, because Bull Terriers are not a pit bull breed from what I have read. That is all. When I read of pit bull breeds it is always the usual American staffordshire terriers, staffordshire terriers, and American Pit Bull Terriers. I every now and then see American Bulldog, but even that honestly should not count. Lucasashby (talk) 17:16, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

About Dasharath Giri deletion issue
[edit]Hi, I think you put this article on deletion list due to the fact that article title is not mentioned in the reference.

Doug Fisher (actor)
[edit]Here is the source from where I received the information as to the date of birth and middle name of Doug Fisher (actor) it appears it was originally posted on the search.ancestry.co.uk site then posted to twitter. I have provided the link below from twitter.
[1] --Seventiesfan (talk) 14:31, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
- The problem is that twitter is not a reliable source. What you linked to even says "Someone posted this on Facebook in regards to Doug Fisher's Date of Birth" which isn't what you claim (facebook is not ancestry.co.uk) and facebook is also not a reliable source.

I would like to ask you which parts of my edit seem 'less than neutral' to you? SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:19, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
And henceforth, it would be polite on your part to ask me before deleting any of my edits. SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:23, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- I answered on your talk page and I don't need to ask you to revert your changes. Emotionalllama (talk) 16:24, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
Flattering? Addition of facts is not flattering. It's you who seem to have wishes to portray Russia in bad light. My edits were perfectly neutral. SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:27, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- No they weren't and I outlined why they weren't. Please read WP:NPOV and learn about the guidelines for neutrality. Emotionalllama (talk) 16:29, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
changed "Coalition defeat" to "Withdrawal - Russia did withdrew from the second coalition in 1799; much before the end of the war. 'Rebellion crushed' these terms can be used in case of Georgian Civil War but can't be used in case of Pugachev's Rebellion or Polish Uprisings? Why? It's you who is displaying lack of neutrality. SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:30, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- I've explained my reasoning and I pointed out the guidelines to you. I have no desire to argue about it with you. Please take my advice and read the neutrality guidelines. Emotionalllama (talk) 16:32, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
From now on, stay away from my edits, and don't tell me to act neutral as you yourself are displaying lack of neutrality. SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:35, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- If you make POV edits, they will be reverted by myself or someone else. You don't own articles and cannot order other people to leave edits alone. Emotionalllama (talk) 16:36, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
Those weren't my POV but were historical facts. Obviously an anti-Russian (like you) will always find problems in neutral assessments. But you have no right to revert my edits, simply because you don't own the article that I edited. So, stay out. SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:39, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- I am not anti-Russian and you neither own articles nor own your own edits. You cannot dictate to others to stay away from your edits. Please refrain from making personal attacks and I urge you once again to read WP:NPOV and WP:OWN. If you continue to come to my talk page to attack me I will simply delete your comments. Emotionalllama (talk) 16:42, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
Neither do you own any articles, and you don't own any edit either. So, you can't dictate what I do. I am not dictating you, rather it was you who is trying to dictate me. So, don't try to act smart or to act as my superior. Good bye. SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
- You literally said "stay away from my edits" so I'm not sure how you can claim you aren't dictating to me. I have not acted as your superior in any way. I pointed out guidelines to you. Everyone has to follow those guidelines. Emotionalllama (talk) 16:47, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
Everyone has to follow guidelines, but you are none to dictate me about it. I am well aware of rules, and I have no desire to listen to your nonsense anymore. Don't leave any message on my page henceforth and good bye.
SabbirHossen177 (talk) 16:53, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

I.e. - Is Matthew Grow, editor of The Council of Fifty, Minutes, March 1844–January 1846 (The Church Historian's Press, which is an imprint of Deseret Book; 2016), notable? Is Benjamin E.
