Why do you undo added content which is accurate?

[edit]

When handling architects and engineers for 911 Truth -organization, referring to information in their own website about which their main claims are, is both accurate and relevant. So it must be right to put link to the most informative presentation to the wiki-page also. OR, is it perhaps then better to list actual findings they have from their presentation to that wiki page? Which way is preferred link or list? Mik-kiss — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mik-kiss (talkcontribs) 13:14, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_CIA_and_September_11_%28book%29 I have attempted to provide a summary of the main claims of the book, after having read it, and having it available for reference. Someone keeps undoing it to the original version which had only one sentence on the book's content. It's ok to keep on editing, this may be improved, but just deleting additional, accurate content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.14.1 (talk) 04:50, 18 February 2013 (UTC) I also edited a page on vinyl siding, which had been criticised as industry-only, and added a few sourced statements on environmental hazards of PVC. This was undone by the same "sock puppet", as the edit on the 9/11 book. Since those two edits are the only ones I ever did on wikipedia, and I will never do any other ever, after this experience, it stands to reason that this "user" must have been following both of my edits. Mysterious. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.139.12.137 (talk) 06:28, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Person vs. event

[edit]

I'd argue that Salvi is more notable than the shootings. This is anecdotal evidence, of course, but I know that before I did any in-depth research on the subject, I'd have been more able to name Salvi among a list of anti-abortion terrorists than to identify a 1994 PP shooting as a notable incident (as opposed to things like the murder of David Gunn). I suggest moving the page back and doing a Requested Move. –Roscelese (talkcontribs) 07:41, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Death Valley Driver Video Review. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Goodvac (talk) 03:50, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Curious why you changed "it was considered a method of preserving and improving the fitness of the then dominant groups in American society" to "it was considered a method of preserving and improving the dominant groups in the population". Do you say there's no difference between the dominant groups then and now or that biological fitness wasn't the Eugenicists goal? 72.228.177.92 (talk) 20:39, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I just reverted it to the old one. I am not crazy about how the old version was phrased myself. However, I have a problem linking to the article on fitness. Eugenicists did not have the same conception as modern biologists. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:58, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Right of course not, the Eugenics discussed in the article died out more than a decade before the discovery of DNA. 72.228.177.92 (talk) 21:18, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
DNA was identified and isolated in the late 19th century. The structure of DNA was not figured out until 1953. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 23:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Undoing Revisions

[edit]

I don't understand why you undid my revision. The sentence in question is attempting to list six things that Nation of Islam adherents do and don't do. They do not consume two things, they do not use two things, and they do stress two things.

Prior to my revision, and as the sentence currently stands, the listing is not parallel:

"NOI adherents do not consume pork, alcohol, use drugs, tobacco, and stress a healthy diet and physical fitness."

What that sentence says, among other things, is that NOI adherents "do not alcohol" that they "do not tobacco" and that they "do not stress a healthy diet and physical fitness". I proposed the following revision:

"NOI adherents do not consume pork or alcohol or use drugs or tobacco, and stress a healthy diet and physical fitness."

My revision may not be perfect, but it is logically correct. If you don't like it, then you can fix it. Add a comma, turn it into three sentences, but don't simply revert it like it's a piece of vandalism.

What is your user account? The best place for a discussion about this would be on my user talk page - I would welcome that discussion. I'm going to be very busy until early next week so I won't have time right away to look into the specifics you outline below until then. But if you can post to my user talk page (NOT under a new account - don't get yourself in trouble!!!) earlier than that, a discussion can start there.

As you have been accused of sock puppetry is it really important that you stay 100% clean on that issue. If you did it, own up to it, apologize for it, and move on.

I have posted a response to the response to your query about an infobox at the Mozart article. Could you revisit the article's talk page and give some more input.

List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic characters‎

[edit]

The length of leads for lists of characters depends on the size of the article, as do leads for other articles. As the size of the article is around 30,000 characters, it does merit at least two paragraphs in the lead. I'd like to work with you to figure out something that works for the article: would you agree to compromising? I suggest we add one (short) paragraph to what is currently there that briefly explains explains the characters and how they're connected, as the lead should. Thanks. Murmuration (talk) 03:11, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm kind of concerned that you think that one line is ever okay as the lead for an article: I take it you didn't read WP:LEAD? What other articles have for their leads isn't at all an accurate way to asses how long a lead should be, especially since 3 out of 4 of the article you referenced don't meet Wikipedia's standards. Leads for lists of characters should do exactly the same thing as leads for other articles: accurately summarize the article's contents in proportion to the article's size. For the size of List of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic characters, the lead isn't at all the right length. Murmuration (talk) 21:31, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

[edit]

Just so you know, in the future, Berserk (anime) will be re-merged into Berserk (manga).

Hi, just so you know, your edits do not comply to the Manual of Style for wiki. I'm not going to revert your edits, but if an editor takes an interest in the Berserk article, they would be justified to do so. I suggest you find a article that is GA rank and base your work off of that. Currently the way you set up berserk is a "by fan for fan" basis; a style you need to change.

Changing article importance

I've reverted edits to Zork and The Black Onyx that changed the importance from High to Mid, based on the enormous influence these games had on the industry. Though some of you edits of this nature seem justified, others seem less so, and still others seem very strange.

Transitional Fossils and Amphistium

Please forgive the delay. So far, what you've done is great.

Reality Distortion Field

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Reality distortion field. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.
You appear to be having some process difficulties too. You proposed a merger on Talk:Steve Jobs, but didn't tag either Steve Jobs or Reality Distortion Field with {{merge}}. Typically discussion lasts for seven days, but you chose to be Bold only nine hours later. Someone reverted you, so now the Discussion phase of the WP:BRD process should kick in until there is a WP:CONSENSUS or the discussion goes stale. Please do not think the discussion has gone stale until no one has responded for several days. Acps110 (talkcontribs) 18:01, 2 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Abiogenesis lead

[edit]

The lead I created for Abiogenesis is more than adequate. The lead may have "seemed" long to you, but is is actually the perfect size in proportion to the rest of the article. Every article needs an adequate lead that summarizes the contents and gives an introduction to the topic, not just a quick definition. Depending on the size of the article a lead should not be more than 4 paragraphs, and for an article as long as Abiogenesis the lead size was perfect. Look at the leads for evolution, the history of life, and history of the earth and you will see that these articles are long and SO the leads are fairly sizeable in proportion.

AIV

[edit]

At WP:AIV there's a notice that looks like this:

Important! Your report must follow these four points:

  1. The edits of the user you are reporting must be considered vandalism.
  2. The user must be given sufficient recent warnings to stop.
  3. Unregistered users must be active now, and the warnings must be recent.
  4. DO NOT report an already-blocked user (e.g., for talk page abuse) here as the report would just be removed by the bot. Instead, report at WP:ANI. Do not edit war with the bot.

Please take heed of these instructions, in particular point 3 - unregistered users must be active now. Since blocking is preventative and not punitive, reporting an IP address that was used for vandalism yesterday and is not active now is unhelpful. Please only report unregistered users if they are active now, as the notice clearly says. Thanks, waggers (talk) 09:59, 3 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Zodiac Killer

[edit]

I don't want to start an editing war so I'm contacting you. Back on March 10, you undid my revision that omitted the sentence, "Even though DNA samples taken from the letters sent by the Zodiac did not confirm that Allen had handled them, neither the Vallejo nor the San Francisco Police Departments have ruled out Allen as a suspect." I didn't see any explanation given for your revision. I think the sentence should be deleted because it's partly redundant with the previous sentence and the sourced article doesn't even mention the SFPD. Also, I'm not aware of the SFPD ever publicly stated they've cleared any of their 2,500 suspects so stating they continue considering Arthur Leigh Allen as a suspect seems misleading. I've left the sentence in the article for the time-being while waiting for your reply. Incidentally, do you have a personal opinion of who the Zodiac Killer was?

Barbary Wars merger to Barbary corsairs

[edit]

Hi, I noticed that you had reverted a merger that I completed recently between Barbary Wars and Barbary corsairs. You had reverted the merger with a comment that you did not approve it. I had the proposal posted in January 2012, but I seem to have missed your suggestions/concerns about the merger. It would be appreciated if we could discuss it. My main concern is that the Barbary wars content seems to overlap with other articles and has no unique references while being low on referenced content itself. I came up with the idea for this merger when I entered the subject as a reader and found out that I had missed out on content due to the way it is split on Wikipedia. I would like to see the Barbary corsairs article develop and ultimately be evaluated for branching out as the content matures. Another editor suggested building an article structure now, but I am not sure how that would look. Also, I would rather have one larger good article then several small lower quality articles.

TFA for Killer7

[edit]

Hi, I'm planning to nominate Killer7 for Today's Featured Article for July 7, 2012 and I noticed you're pretty active in that area. Do you know how flexible the system is? I ask because there are a few points that the article is borderline on. It has been about 1 year and 9 months since it was promoted. The most recent video game TFA was Turok (April 13), which would be 2 months and 3 weeks from the requested date (if you don't go through with Castlevania on May 8...). It's also the 7th anniversary of the game's release, which is not a decennial, but seven is an important number in the game's fiction so that might could for something? This is my first time nominating something for TFA. Axem Titanium (talk) 22:20, 1 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd give it 2 points. One for age, and one for date relevant (NA release anniversary). It's not that hard to nominate. When the July 6th timeslot opens up, just place it there. Follow the format of other nominations. If there is another video game article less than a month before, then Killer 7 would lose all of it's points and may not run. Video games (and media in general) are somewhat over represented, so there may be some opposition to having it run. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:31, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Are you a "significant contributor to the article, and has not previously had an article appear as Today's featured article" ? Then that would be another point. For a total of 3. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 21:46, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the prompt reply. In your experience, are the people at TFA requests usually pretty strict about counting days or is there some leeway? Axem Titanium (talk) 23:26, 2 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes they do. But as long as you follow the rules and point system, most requests get selected. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 17:46, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Ok. Thanks for the tips. Axem Titanium (talk) 17:47, 3 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the heads up. I was suggesting Killer7 run on July 7, though, which is two months out. It means I definitely can't get the points for no game TFAs for 3 months but that's not terrible, is it? Axem Titanium (talk) 15:59, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Ira Einhorn

[edit]

I am curious why Wikipedia users like yourself choose to purport fiction over fact. The edit I did yesterday - which was completely reverted by JFHJr to it's previous version - is completely accurate.

You insist on ignoring the truth and cite a single article which erroneously indicates Einhorn was the master of ceremonies when the fact - the truth - is that there was no master of ceremonies and Einhorn's only role at the event had been as a liaison with poet and featured speaker Allen Ginsberg. But Einhorn didn’t merely introduce Ginsberg — he "commandeered the stage" speaking "incoherently" for half an hour and refusing repeated requests to leave and let the program continue. This was said under oath by a respected doctor.

That statement was made under oath and penalty of perjury by Dr. Donald Nathonson - http://dir.salon.com/story/news/feature/2002/10/18/einhorn/index.html

His testimony is corroborated by the actual event organizers who wrote Ira Einhorn’s claims that he was a founder or organizer of Earth Day are false. He is a fraud. Einhorn, given a small role on the stage at Earth Day, grabbed the microphone and refused to give up the podium for thirty minutes - http://www.amgot.org/einhorn/eday.htm

So do you rush to ensure every article on wikipedia based on lies and misinformation or only this one? TruthTime8752 (talk) 06:14, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

"good intentions"

[edit]

Thanks for the comment "It's suggested that Wikipedia editors assume that others are editing with good intentions" - but that does not seem to be the case with your constant edits and reverts with Ira Einhorn. Again, why do you insist on purporting the false notion that he was the master of ceremonies at Earth day when he was not??

If you took the time to actually read ALL the relevant material - not some McVersion of the facts - you would discover that you are putting false information on the page.

Are you going to correct your mistakes or continue to put this false information there? TruthTime8752 (talk) 06:21, 12 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I really have idea what your thinking was in your recent change to this article, which appeared to restore it back to some earlier state, completely with errors that I corrected.

Perhaps you can simply explain what your objective was. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 20:56, 13 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Author/Harizotoh9

My name is Nuša Farič and I am a Health Psychology MSc student at the University College London (UCL). I am currently running a quantitative study entitled Who edits health-related Wikipedia pages and Why? I am interested in the editorial experience of people who edit health-related Wikipedia pages. I am interested to learn more about the authors of health-related pages on Wikipedia and what motivations they have for doing so. I am currently contacting the authors of randomly selected articles and I noticed that someone at this address edited an article on Female Hysteria. I would like to ask you a few questions about you and your experience of editing the above mentioned article and or other health-related articles. If you would like more information about the project, please visit my user page (http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Hydra_Rain) and if interested, please reply via my talk page or e-mail me on nusa.faric.11@ucl.ac.uk.

Quirinius Census

[edit]

Just checking to hear your reasoning for removing my edits on the Quirinius Census page. I have been researching this issue in detail this week and all of my assertions were backed up with valid references. The only rationale you gave for removing them was that the main article I refer to is "only opinion" but, may I humbly suggest that that is only your opinion? I have interacted with Answers in Genesis extensively over the last three years and every bit of their commentary is backed up by solid research and fact (as evidenced by the sourcing I gave from Chaffey's article).

I will admit that one of my references was mistaken and I will be happy to correct that piece (Varus, who was governor of Syria during the 8 BC Roman Census, lost 3 legions of soldiers in Germany and his own life in 9 CE, so that was obviously not something Caesar would have weighed in 7-8 BC, but it does reveal a possible deficit in his judgment and leadership abilities that Caesar may have been aware of. Similarly, Varus had 2,000 Jews crucified in 4 BC after Herod the Great died (this from Josephus), revealing a level of harshness that Caesar may have wanted to temper in taking a census).

Please let me know your thoughts - I think this article needs to be balanced with a conservative argument. Thanks, Darin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Goteamanderson (talkcontribs) 17:24, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hoodwinked! at Today's Featured Article

[edit]

Why did you remove Hoodwinked! from Wikipedia:Today's featured article/requests? I get that it had negative points, but so does Gender Bender (The X-Files) and Luke P. Blackburn and you did not remove those. Yes, they both had supports, but it took Gender Bender five days to get its first support and Hoodwinked! had only been up for five days when you removed it. I would understand if you had added another article in its place, but I don't see the purpose in removing it and simply leaving two blank spaces. --Jpcase (talk) 23:42, 3 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

History of Sesame Street

[edit]

Hi Harizotah, I disagree with adding the Sesame Street infobox to History of Sesame Street. According to the MOS (WP:IBX, "...the purpose of an infobox: to summarize key facts in the article in which it appears". This infobox does not summarize this article; it summarizes Sesame Street. For that reason, I don't think that it belongs in the history article, and I request that it be removed. I'd appreciate it if this issue was resolved by Nov. 10, since it's likely that it will be on the main page for The Show's 43rd anniversary. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 17:17, 4 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Since it's been several days since I wrote the above, I'm going to assume that your silence signifies assent. If this issue doesn't get any further discussion by the end of the day on 11/8, I will remove the infobox. I'm setting this deadline because this article will indeed be on the main page on the 10th and it needs to be as featurey-article as possible. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:56, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Please excuse the response to myself, but I think that I solved the issue. The article has been updated with the "Elmo the Musical" info, and I renamed the "2000s" section to "2000s and 2010s". I don't think it's necessary to create a whole new section for a line of text. When enough has happened to fill a section, we'll move it to its own section. What do you think?

3RR

[edit]

Re your reversions of RS material and deletion of dubious tags, at psychiatry - Your edit summary for reverting, "too strong", is not a WP policy or guideline for reliably sourced matErial you do not like, or for which you make unsourced claims of UNDUE, nor for removing construction tags, or for removing dubious tags from MEDRS false unsourced statements.

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made; that is to say, editors are not automatically "entitled" to three reverts.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ParkSehJik (talk) 23:51, 26 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unwarranted deletions on the raw foodism page

[edit]

I just noticed that several recent attempts of mine to correct poor grammar on the raw foodism page, plus clear out some previous claims not backed by refs were deleted by you without afterwards discussing the changes on the raw foodism talks page, which doesn't seem in line with wikipedia guidelines. I'm not bothered by all the changes you made as some corrections of yours are possibly(?) OK.

Please refer to the statements already made in the Jung Myung Soek talk page. The articles being cited is not sourced to ProvidenceTrial.com. The original sources are Korean news articles and news magazine articles. The reason there are links to ProvidenceTrial is because there are supplemental translations available to assist those using google translate to read the original sources. Macauthor (talk) 16:49, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

In recent edit , you removed reliably sourced material. I understand that "Providencecentral.com and nocultnews are not reliable sources," as you stated in your edit summary, but you also removed content that was sourced from Yonhap News, the Associated Press, and The Korea Times. Removing reliably sourced content without any apparent valid reason is considered illegitimate blanking, and is categorized as vandalism. While it is essential that BLP articles adhere to policy, and stay far away from libel, when content is negative but relevant and reliably sourced, it should usually be included to comply with NPOV. If you do have a good reason for removing the content, I would be glad to hear it, but I would regardless advise you that your edit summary was confusing, and could be interpreted as an attempt to divert attention from a non-NPOV edit. I will not make that assumption per AGF, but in my personal opinion, a bad edit summary is worse than none at all, and you should be careful that your edit summaries are more accurate and less misleading in the future. I have already restored the sourced content, without undoing your edit, since some of the content was poorly sourced and should have been removed. I also removed a paragraph to which you added the [citation needed] tag, without realizing it already had a citation. It's a little unusual to solicit additional citations with [citation needed], but there's not really anything wrong with it, and you're welcome to reinstate that paragraph if you wish, with or without the tag. Consider this an official level 2 warning for blanking, though I will withdraw it if you have a valid reason for removing the content. —Rutebega (talk) 21:38, 18 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am not sure what to do about it, and have my hands full with other fixes, but if you trim/delete many it will be nice. The ones used in the article don't need to be listed anyway, as you said. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 19:49, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

John Le Mesurier ‎

[edit]

Your addition of an infobox to the John Le Mesurier was reverted—and quite rightly too! There is nothing that reqiuires an infobox to be present on any article, and your comment "How can this get to FA status without an infobox" shows that you know little of the FA process and the MOS. See Help:Infobox: "The use of infoboxes is neither required nor prohibited for any article". The consensus at the JLM article is not to include a box that is unnecessary and pointless. - SchroCat (talk) 10:06, 12 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

List of The Twilight Zone episodes‎

Information icon Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please make sure to include an edit summary. Please provide one before saving your changes to an article, as the summaries are quite helpful to people browsing an article's history. Thanks!

I don't have a problem with the edit, but such a large removal of content (blanking) really deserves some kind of explanation. --Musdan77 (talk) 18:22, 22 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RetroArch - not notable enough

[edit]

I'm sorry, but this is plain nonsense.

We are more notable than any other emulator on app stores - and we have an ideological stance that makes us superior to any.

Frankly, you do not have the clout to just pull our article like that and all it betrays is that you must be politically motivated to pull the trigger like that.

'When it's notable enough' - you are not an arbitrator that decides that. As long as a piece of garbage like zSNES is still allowed to have its own Wiki page (when it's dead and nonexistent), then we deserve at least ten Wiki pages - never mind one.

Next time you decide to vandalize our page like that I will do everything I can to ensure it has consequences for you inside your wiki sphere.

BTW, me and my userbase (which is in the thousands by now) will just reinstate and 'de-vandalize' any and all 'edits' you do from now on concerning 'redirections' - so if you want to make your little political squabble, at least try to get some people behind you - because the way you are going about it now is never, ever going to work. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.166.85.169 (talk) 08:36, 26 June 2013‎ (UTC)[reply]

FYI, I think I've made some progress with this person (who is apparently now at a different IP), and I've asked him to issue you an apology for this. While I had my own comments on the redirect itself, this post above is clearly an overreaction. But in discussion, it appears that he genuinely thought you were part of some rival project who has it in for him (at least, that's how I interpret the discussion at this point, applying my good faith filter). I think I've gotten him to realize that you, to the best of anyone's knowledge, were simply trying to participate in good-faith cleanup efforts, and honestly had I seen the article in the state it was in at the time, I might have been tempted to do the same.
In any event, no idea if he'll actually follow-up on my request, but I wanted to let you know. See the discussion in Talk:RetroArch for context. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 17:35, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, I want to indeed apologize. I presumed too much when I saw the page redirected to this 'list' and made this response based on that. I did not make the initial page and I claim no right to ownership at all. At the same time, it is not an emulator, and I hope we can make this more clear in the future. On that same note, another user is working on making a page for 'Libretro' - which is the underlying API (made by us) that RetroArch depends on. When that page has passed through a few milestones perhaps it might be a good idea to redirect the RetroArch page to that since it is really the API we intend to promote and not so much the reference frontend. Anyway, for now a major reworking of the RetroArch page could make it clear what it is and what it isn't.
I want to apologize to people I alienated - I'll try a different course of action in the future and I did not intend for it to go down like this.84.26.108.111 (talk) 17:56, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. I appreciate this. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 18:06, 27 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
BTW - mark this issue as not having been resolved. I just found out this very same guy that pulled our page with a note saying 'Not notable enough' is making 'helpful contributions' to the Higan page - to the effect that it betrays a certain level of community knowledge that frankly isn't there outside of #bsnes/#higan. Let it be known that there is intense rivalry between #bsnes/#retroarch and that therefore for any one of those persons to delete our page with a note saying 'Not notable enough' while not holding their own favoured 'rival project' to that same standard is definitely a clear-cut example of 'Conflict of Interest'.
For the sake of neutrality I will continue staying out of this but I just felt I had to point out that - despite my apology - once again it turns out my suspicions were right - while you (KieferSkunk) did not adequately do your homework and did not see that this guy DID in fact had such ties to a 'rival project'. So really, I shouldn't have apologized over an this in the first place - since I was right.

If you don't believe me - here he is 'helpfully editing' the Higan article - way before he tried pulling this little stunt on the RetroArch page - https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Higan_%28emulator%29&diff=561289569&oldid=545619797 Well, I'll tell you what - if 'RetroArch' isn't notable - then what the hell is higan/bsnes exactly? You don't even have a 'presence' outside of high-powered PCs.84.26.108.111 (talk) 23:30, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Harizotoh: I'm treating this as open harassment. You have been contributing to Wikipedia since September 2011, and you have never been blocked for any reason. Regardless of any involvement in emulator projects you may have, there is no evidence that you have been causing any trouble here on Wikipedia or that you have been violating any policies, and this IP editor has no right to be harassing you like this. I am reporting this to WP:ANI . (He was already reported for disruptive editing yesterday and appeared to be backing down at that point, but this is over the line.) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 23:45, 28 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I am not involved with the Bsnes emulator, or any emulation project. I just keep up with gaming and emulation news. I only moved the bsnes page because I noticed the name was out of date. He's making a much bigger deal out of that than seems warranted. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:37, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Didn't honestly think you were, but just the same, it doesn't really even matter that much. There's no evidence that you've done anything in bad faith. Thanks for your patience with all of this. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 04:27, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

BTW, while the IP editor is clearly harassing you, he does have a point: The article you're contributing to at higan (emulator) has several issues that should be addressed soon: Just like with RetroArch, "higan" does not appear to meet WP's notability criteria - there are currently no secondary or tertiary sources, and at least one of the sources violates WP:SPS. I've added a couple of templates to help steer things in the right direction, but if proper sources can't be found, we will likely be nominating this article for the same kind of merge as RetroArch was. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 00:10, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I think this should be taken to the Video Games WikiProject talk page for further discussion. I'm not opposed to turning it into a redirect. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:30, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RetroArch Forum Post

[edit]

Hi Harizotoh9, as much as I'm sure you'd be happy to see the back of the above discussions and IP editor, I just thought I'd make you aware of a forum post about the Wikipedia article over on their forums by him/her. I have sent a reply hopefully clarifying the issues and thought you might want to take a look. Samwalton9 (talk) 01:25, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wow. Just took a look at that forum post - that guy truly is paranoid. Looks like no amount of reasoning or explaining how the Internet works is going to convince him that he's gone totally off the deep end. I was tempted to register and reply, but honestly it wouldn't do any good. I appreciate your efforts, tho. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 02:11, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Noted that the forum post has been removed. As one might expect, it was just more irrational ranting about how evil we are and how we can't be bothered to fact-check things. I imagine that the guy is not actually an admin on that board, and perhaps one of their admins took the post down. — KieferSkunk (talk) — 03:09, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I read the thread before it was taken down. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 03:29, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Not only has it been removed but I was banned, hooray! Not a great loss. The poster was an admin and was almost certainly the same 'lead developer' who was posting here. He/she seemed utterly convinced of some grand conspiracy to silence them by this other emulator team, and I could tell from the first post that anything I replied would be entirely disregarded, but I thought it was worth trying if for nothing more than the rest of the community on that forum, who would have hopefully understood the situation as it actually is. Never mind anyway he seems to have given up here now. Samwalton9 (talk) 12:01, 29 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Geology template

[edit]

Harizotoh9, I see that you have been adding {{Geology2}} to several pages. You have clearly put some effort into making a nice sidebar, but the subject is too broad. The guidelines for navigation templates state that the topics in sidebars should be tightly related (see especially point 3, "The articles should refer to each other, to a reasonable extent."). A horizontal navbox at the bottom of the page might be acceptable. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:00, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

However, there is already a {{Geology}} navbox on some of the pages. All the more reason not to have a sidebar on the same subject. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:03, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to remove the ones you don't think fit (indeed, I fully expected several of them to be removed). I don't care too much for the horizontal navboxes, since they're tucked away at the end of the articles and I suspect people rarely click them.
Could another other option be to create a few more navbars, that are more tightly related? --Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:13, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
There is certainly potential for creating more tightly related navbars. I do wonder how often people use navigation boxes; I almost never do. Ironically, on Geophysics you replaced a {{Science}} sidebar, so at least it was moving in the right direction. RockMagnetist (talk) 00:44, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
However, on lots of articles you have removed {{science}} and left...nothing at all, and not explained anything...this surely deserves a non-blank edit-summary. Especially problematic are the first two I saw...Biology and Chemistry, where the articles themselves are listed on the navbox (good symmetry to have an article in a navbox include that navbox). In fact, those articles are the main ones for their respective subsections of the navbox, as a heading for the cluster of detailed articles on the topic. The navbox thus illustrates how this main branch of science fits in the hierarchy. DMacks (talk) 03:29, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Why are you removing the {{science}} navbox from lots of articles? Without any edit summary, and incorrectly marked as minor edits too. — Reatlas (talk) 09:42, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Inconsistent application of your policies (reverting edits)

[edit]

I I noticed you undid an edit I made on Historical Jesus. Why would you undo that edit saying the section on controversial opinions is for scholars? Because Leo Tolstoy is not a scholar and Leo Tolstoy is in that section too. If you do not provide a logical explanation, I will assume that the edit was not done in good faith. I think you have two options here: one is to remove also the Tolstoy reference from the section. 2 is to undo your removal of my submission. Looking forward to hearing from you. Respectfully, Greengrounds (talk) 06:48, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You assume a bit too much. I typically don't even read most of the pages I have on my watch list. I am a bit of a lazy editor. I did not know Tolstoy was even in that section. In this case I have no problems removing Tolstoy as well, and have in fact done that. Wikipedia articles should ideally focus on scholarly opinion.
I've given that section a quick glance over (a very quick one at that). Alvar Ellegård appears to be an English professor according to his page. That might mean that ancient history is something outside of his area of expertise, and that his opinions on the historical Jesus, however interesting, perhaps should be removed from that section. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 07:02, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Higan (emulator)

[edit]

Per discussion at Talk:List_of_video_game_emulators#2013_merge_discussion the results, specifically for Higan (emulator), were:

merge keep
CaseyPenk Cainamarques
Sergecross73 Thibbs
MirandaStreeter R0stam
Harizotoh9 KieferSkunk: initially merge, later keep:

Fair enough. And as of now, with your recent addition of the Retro Gamer source, I'm happy with the notability of that article and would be willing to close it as Keep for this discussion. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:06, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

That appears to be 4 votes to merge and 4 votes to keep, which doesn't seem to be any kind of consensus. In addition the original nominator for merge elected to remove the Notability template from and voted to keep the article. The notability issue, which you mentioned as your criteria in summary, was never added back to the page as an issue, so how would any editors know to address it further?

It's apparently notable enough for Wikipedia in other languages (fr:Higan and pt:Higan (bsnes)) to which it hasn't even been translated. It's been mentioned (under its previous name of bsnes) on Lifehacker and been the subject of articles on Ars Technica, OS X Daily, and Tested. 71.105.132.152 (talk) 17:20, 30 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Magazine infoboxes

[edit]

Hi -- I notice you've been adding some infoboxes to sf magazine articles; could you pause and discuss on the talk pages? I don't think they're beneficial and would like to remove them but wanted to discuss first. Thanks. Mike Christie (talk - contribs - library) 00:34, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I love infoboxes. They're useful and very easy to get information from. I think all articles should have infoboxes of some kind. They present information usually found in the lede, but they are very useful if a person just wants to quickly get a few bits of information, such as when something was published or by whom. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 01:04, 17 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
The infoboxes you've added just give genre and country of origin, both of which are in the first sentence in (I think) every case. My main concern with infoboxes is that either they give information that is just as easily available in the lede, or else they provide more detail, which is often misleading as it summarizes without nuances. Most of the fields in the magazine infobox can't be easily filled in for any magazine with any sort of complex history -- frequency is rarely constant, for example, and editors change often. The few fields that can be filled in are usually available in the first sentence. I'm not opposed to infoboxes in general -- I think there are articles where infoboxes are very useful; species articles, for example. But I don't think they add value to magazine articles.

Your edits to Sneha Anne Philip

[edit]

Umm ... I'm not really sure why you think all the section intros needed to be merged with the article intro. As it is, what you've done results in a rather bloated intro that sort of conflicts with WP:SS. Daniel Case (talk) 17:55, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need for "synopsis", or "overview" sections, as that is what the lede is for. The current lede completely summarizes the entire article. Ledes are to be no more than four paragraphs in size, which it is. WP:LEAD. It could be trimmed or organized a bit more. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 22:40, 25 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well, OK, in this article it doesn't really create any issues since it's relatively short. And I have no problem with four-graf intros (although again the article is on the short side). But your sweeping insistence that "there's no need for synopsis or overview sections" seems to be a personal preference that doesn't have any MOS support (at least not that I could find). Other editors might get a little testy about that—just letting you know. Daniel Case (talk) 05:09, 26 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Harizotol, I appreciate your input to this article, but I disagree with what you've done, and let me tell you why. First off, this article is a FA, and the reviewers were fine with how the lead was structured. Secondly, it follows the structure of the article; the section you moved is about the book's themes, which appears almost at the end of the article. This is why I think we should restore the lead to its original version. Thanks. Christine (Figureskatingfan) (talk) 16:06, 4 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Tom Harpur

[edit]

Harizotoh9, I wonder if you have any views on this page: Tom Harpur? I came across it a a few days ago while looking for something else and was rather puzzled by it given the nature of its subject - I also added the BLP Unsourced tag as it seems to be entirely unsourced. I'm not at all sure it meets notability requirements - certainly I don't think it does in its current form. I'm only a very amateur user of wikipedia (hence no account) but I have come across your work on doubtful articles before and I thought it might be worth bringing this one to your attention. I think it would at the very least benefit from an overhaul. I've no particular agenda on this - my field of study is modern European history - but I'm wary of hagiographies with no sources about people who appear to be fringe characters. Hope it is of interest.31.52.239.219 (talk) 09:55, 15 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of skeptical POV and sources, thus violating NPOV

[edit]

I notice you're on a roll, removing skeptical sources and skeptical opinions, some of them quite notable ones. Keep in mind that just because the word "blog" appears, does not make it an unreliable source, at least not anymore. It's been several years since you should have gotten over that allergic reaction, which is a leftover from the wiki stone age. Now the blog format is used for many very legitimate purposes, including corporate and organizational websites, politicians' websites, and journalists' columns.

What gives? When it comes to fringe subjects, aren't you aware of WP:PARITY, which allows for such skeptical sources, since the mainstream pretty much ignores fringe subjects? Without their use, the only sources left are fringe sources, and such one-sided and promotional coverage would violate NPOV. -- Brangifer (talk) 04:05, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Brian Dunning is, as far as I know just some guy with a podcast. He isn't an expert on anything. It's WP:UNDUE to give his views much attention. And there's much better sources critical of the paranormal and pseudoscience. He is also used in articles like Roanoke Colony, Nuclear winter, Stanford prison experiment which are in fact heavily covered by mainstream sources and do not need his views at all.
For Natural News, personal blogs should be avoided. There is a some amount of coverage in mainstream Reliable sources already, including several controversies. The article should stick to the major controversies. There are likely more standard WP:RS out there. I will search for more. the article also used some NPOV language, and sourced only to a blog. Example Novella's quote that he is "a dangerous conspiracy-mongering crank". This is a pretty strong view that would require something more weighty than a blog to justify. It's also not really needed. The article in general needs a lot of work.
For WP:Parity, then it would make more sense to use a source such as Skeptic Magazine or Skeptical Inquirer, which at least has gone through some kind of editorial overview as opposed to simple blogs. Or some published book. Many of these fringe topics have been covered by those. Relying on self-published blogs is not needed and done usually because they're the easiest sources to get online. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 04:39, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
There's also a very large amount of articles that link to Skeptoid in the External links. It's not needed and seems to be borderline promotional spam. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 05:13, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I suggest you slow down. Your opinion is not shared by skeptics and deleting such sources without replacing it with better sourcing leaves content without sources in some cases. I see you have a list on your user page. If you start deleting QW you'll be in for a nasty surprise. Be very careful about making such mass controversial deletions. You need VERY strong reasons for each one. -- Brangifer (talk) 07:25, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted most of your edits. You need to make each case in turn. Many of the articles from which you removed Dunning are on WP:FRINGE topics and therefore by WP:PARITY, we don't need credentialed expertise to document the issues (since the conflict is in the realm of amateur argumentation). You may have a point oon certain articles for removing fringe argumentation and therefor podcast rejoinders, but you can't just driveby remove all skeptoid sources with the link search. You have to be more thoughtful. jps (talk) 07:32, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple edits have been done in a short period of time that lack edit summaries. As an editor with some experience, I expect you are aware that edit summaries are appropriate. A campaign to remove a particular source from multiple articles without discussion is not in keeping with policy. A lack of edit summary and discussion on talk are not appropriate. If an editor feels a particular source is not reliable, discussion at RSN before removing that source is appropriate. EL's to expanded content on the subject of the article are appropriate, so long as the content at the EL is of quality. - - MrBill3 (talk) 02:57, 1 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Providence(religious movement)

[edit]
Hello Harizotoh9,

I saw that you removed the edit I applied to the Providence article, with the reasoning: "seems pretty tangential to the purpose of the article."

LoL, maybe I'm a little confused... can you please state on the talk page of the article why you feel that this edit does not fit with the purpose of the article? What do you believe the purpose of the article is? Just so we're on the same page! :)

If the purpose of the article is to provide an academic representation of the subject, then being a best-selling poet/writer who was included in an anthology of 100 years of Korean poetry is very relevant, right?

I'm going to re-post the edit--remember we have to go by the facts and provide a complete picture of the subject, even if it is a subjec that is controversial or unpopular.

Hey,

Regarding your edit on Mosquito (which I'm assuming you found from reddit). I don't really agree with your removal– rather than removing it entirely, why not put {{Citation needed}}? The person who put it there originally probably wasn't guessing. By putting "I would have imagined Smallpox would have killed more" in the edit summary, you're doing the same thing as the sentence removed– making a statement without evidence. I'm curious what you think.

Thanks, Newyorkadam (talk) 22:51, 24 November 2014 (UTC)Newyorkadam[reply]

I have no idea what the intention of the person who put it there. They could have heard it from someone they knew, or were just guessing. Or it "seemed true" to them. Anything without proper citations can be challenged or removed. When a citation is found about an estimate of those killed by mosquito related illnesses then that can be added in. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 00:56, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Underboss

[edit]

First you removed the "Fictional Underbosses" section without giving a reason, when I reverted back, you removed it again. I don't want to get into an edit war with you, but I really have trouble understanding why this section is bothering you. People can't picture original mafia families, but when they see examples of fictional mafia families, they have a clearer understanding of what underboss is. Everyone knows The Godfather, and example of Sonny Corleone helps people to get the concept of underboss. Gezginrocker (talk) 14:59, 14 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi there. I saw that you recently removed some external links from The Thing (1982 film). Per MOS:FILM, we've got a more-or-less standardized set of external links that we generally list in film-related articles. This includes Rotten Tomatoes, Box Office Mojo, etc. On the talk page, there has recently been some dispute over linking to fansites and blogs, and I think that right now it's best if we don't link to tangentially-related blogs without further discussion. A personal blog by a producer on the film seems more appropriate to me as an external link on his own biography, rather than an external link from one individual film. I also removed a unsourced writing credit from the infobox, as it was labeled as uncredited. Generally, if it's uncredited, that means it needs a source, as credits are assumed to be sourced to the film itself. In any case, I'm not entirely sure that it's important to highlight that a director has made uncredited changes to a screenplay, as that's not really uncommon. Still, it could be mentioned in the production section, which discusses early drafts and rewrites. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 17:07, 31 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'd like to suggest some changes to the wording of the Main Page paragraph, because the Main Page gets a lot of casual readers. I'm not sure how many of them will still be reading after "Majungasaurus is a genus of abelisaurid theropod dinosaur". (This article was promoted to FA in 2007.) How about something like "Majungasaurus is a genus of carnivorous dinosaurs with flattened snouts that ran on two legs"? We could push abelisaurids and theropods to the fourth and fifth sentences. - Dank (push to talk) 18:09, 16 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Crash Canyon. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. While edit warring on Wikipedia is not acceptable in any amount and can lead to a block, breaking the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a block. If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection.

Bubblegum Crisis

[edit]

I'm not sure if you have any long term plan with these articles and are starting a long process or have simply made a franchise article to link them. I did take a look at one or two of the articles a few days ago as I have magazine sources for them. A franchise article probably is needed, but I'm not yet convinced that means we need separate pages for each Bubblegum entry of if they could all file into a single article covering all 3. I'm especially not convinced by bundling them together with related series which are largely established as separate entities. If they are loosely related then they could go as See Also's, and would need information expel;raining their links.

However I'm not very knowledgeable about the series myself so I'm just curious as to the aim. If you are planning to work on these articles than I will provide you with magazine sources and then see how you get on with improving the articles.SephyTheThird (talk) 03:38, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

It's mostly that anime pages on Wikipedia have no idea what they want to be. Are they series pages, or are they pages about a specific work of animation? They are often cluttered messes that are difficult to navigate, read, and get relevant information.
So the page for Bubblegum Crisis featured a list of all the sequel series, then all spin offs, comics, rpgs, figurines, and so forth. It leads to pages that are cluttered messes. So to simplify that, I made the Bubblegum Crisis page focus on just the original OVA, and then move all releated merchandise to the series page. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 13:00, 7 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well for your first point, this is where the difference between a properly written article and a bad one comes in. There isn't any difference between that and any other type of article. The solution is to improve articles. I'm don't really see how this improves things. Instead it seems to add another messy page that arbitrarily links titles that are only partially related with the context being minimal. Instead of simplifying things and organising them you have instead done the opposite and created a bigger mess. The titles may be related, but sticking them together in this fashion doesn't make a better set of articles. You've actually created an article that is exactly what you are complaining about. Do you actually have plans for these articles or are you done? I would like to be helpful but I really can't see the improvement here, and these titles all have the potential to make far better articles if handled properly.

Revert on FFRF

[edit]

"Reverting to older version for now" Uhhhh....why?--Shibbolethink ( ) 01:22, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I mean the "opinion of morality" section can probably go for WP:UNDUE or WP:NPOV reasons, but the charity stats and the bus campaign seem good to me.--Shibbolethink ( ) 01:25, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted this back as I could not see anything that warranted removal. Normally I question self-published information, however, when the organization itself publishes its views on morality or any other topic or point of view, I find it disturbing that somehow that information should not be included in an article about the organization especially if it denotes a significant point of view of the organization itself. Not real sure how such can be construed as WP:UNDUE or WP:NPOV when it's the organization's own point of view. Now, we could seek out information that is critical of the orgs point of view to attempt to maintain NPOV but none the less it's not like the editor(s) are making the orgs point of view up; it's on their own arguably "self-promoting" website.167.131.0.194 (talk) 19:53, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

AIG

[edit]

The Journal of Astrobiology isn't a fringe source of course, but an argument about Intelligent design has no place in the AIG article. The IP doesn't seem to understand or care about such things. Dougweller (talk) 08:20, 12 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm. I'm not so sure. We have an entire section criticizing AIG from a scientific point of view and we are reluctant to include a minority point of view from a peer reviewed work? That seems to fly in the face of the goals of WP:Weight/Undue/Due and WP:NPOV. It's not like much can be said about the minority point of view so I find it difficult to anticipate the minority point of view will receive undue weight.167.131.0.194 (talk) 20:03, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The article is from the list of journal articles that discovery institute claims supports Intelligent Design. From the quote used, I have no idea how that supports ID at all, since it specifically mentions life evolving. I question the entire relevancy of it to the page. I also don't know the quality of the journal or the quality of the article. I know Tipler has dome some weird sorta mystical thinking like the Omega Point. A lot of the articles in that Discovery Institute list look to be creationists publishing legitimate if minor research just so they can gain credibility. There was also that other article that was only published by going around standard peer review. Using any of those papers would be WP:UNDUE at the very least, especially since none of them specifically seem to actually prove any creationist ideas directly. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 20:19, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

So are we saying any theories on Wikipedia must be accompanied by "proof?" I don't think we want to go down that proverbial rabbit hole. Simply because you or I don't understand the science behind the theory doesn't mean we should delete it. In reading the abstract, it looks as though the researcher of the peer reviewed work is stating that an intelligent design would be necessary for an ever expanding universe. His assumptions must be valid or it would not be published in the journal. Sounds like a compelling argument, albeit a minority one, but valid none the less. My advice is to err on the side of providing more information than less information and allowing the intelligent Wikipedia readers to draw conclusions from that information.167.131.0.194 (talk) 22:57, 13 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Citing WP:UNDUE and WP:FRINGE. We don't have to give equal weight to every idea out there. It's not uncommon to have low quality obscure journals publishing questionable quality research. Or in this case, I'm not even sure if its even science. It doesn't mean we have to pay attention to it or devote paragraphs to it in articles.

My advice is to err on the side of providing more information than less information and allowing the intelligent Wikipedia readers to draw conclusions from that information.

Uh, no, that's not how Wikipedia works. We don't give credence to fringe views and pretend that they're mainstream or scientifically valid.

Hi. I don't know why Casliber didn't finish the requested copyedit, but it may have something to do with the fact that several other editors are working on it already.

SCW & ISIL sanctions notice

[edit]

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the Syrian Civil War and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, such as 2016 Orlando nightclub shooting, which you have recently edited. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Edits in question

[edit]

Sorry about any confusion. I copied you and a number of other editors who had their edits reverted by by Niteshift36. He or she's been scrubbing the GEO Group page via massive deletions for almost four years, removing most negative information about the corporation. When confronted, he or she typically responds with threats and vulgarity. I see he or she's been involved in Noticeboard incidents 984 times. I've discussed the problem on the article's TALK page. I'm not trying to upset you or anyone else, but I'm at my wit's end in how to deal with this recalcitrant editor. I've spent hours laboriously trying to improve the article only to have all my work deleted with a single keystroke. There's no need to involve yourself in this, unless you're interested. I think the behavior is adverse to Wikipedia comity so I hope some reasonable solution might be had. Activist (talk) 15:07, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Bring in third parties and noticeboards to examine the issue. --Harizotoh9 (talk) 18:24, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I went to request assistance at ANI, exhaustively sourced the problem, and after some time, my request was rejected as having been sent to the wrong board. Can you suggest an arbitrator who might be helpful in dealing with this? Niteshift's most recent vulgar rant, after I reverted a recent deletion by him, one of 78 he has made of disfavorable but well-supported edits to this corporation's article made by many editors in the last four years:
Today I noted:

@Niteshift36:, @Parkwells:, @C.J. Griffin:, @Lockley:, @Ctaylor661:, @WhisperToMe:, Restored details of chronic and extreme mismanagement at Walnut Grove, unjustifiably deleted by Niteshift36. This editor has made 20 removals of text added by many editors this year, yet no additions or corrections. In the past four years, Niteshift has made 77 removals of negative information about this corporation's behavior, what have usually constituted massive amounts of well sourced edits by other Wikipedians, and made only four miniscule additions to the article. This seems to be the quintessence of POV, IMHO. Activist (talk) 19:10, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

:*First, stop pinging the crap out of everyone who ever supported anything you said once. Second, enough with your "unjustifiably" removed nonsense. There was plenty of discussion. Third, regarding your "look how many edits he made" crying, when will you get tired of your paranoid nonsense? Lastly, you should examine your own issues, like your attempted WP:OWNERSHIP of this article, your chronic casting WP:ASPERSIONS and your activities as a WP:POV warrior. You've been asked to stop with your false allegations, yet you insist on continued dickish behavior. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:57, 22 May 2017 (UTC)

::*Activist, I have cautioned you about your allegations of "scrubbing" or similar implications that imply that I'm doing anything on behalf of anyone else. And yes, I;ve commented at the ANI 984 times.....usually participating in discussion. You act like I was the topic 984 times. Harizotoh gives good advice....try using the process instead of canvassing people who made an edit or two, 2 years ago. Niteshift36 (talk) 20:36, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

*How do you arrive at that conclusion? When this started, you have a big entry about this case. Now there is a single reasonable sized paragraph. That's exactly what I have contended all along. I never tried "whitewashing" or "scrubbing" it. I simply made it reasonable sized and consistent with other articles. If anything, it was your version of the Mississippi Hustle entry that was rejected. Niteshift36 (talk) 19:08, 12 February 2017 (UTC)

Any assistance would be appreciated. Activist (talk) 20:50, 22 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Social contract

[edit]


Hello, Harizotoh9 - I've done the best I can. I have two concerns.

1) In some places, particularly in all the sections of Social contract#Critical theories, the prose is so dense – so difficult to understand, possibly because overly academic – that it may need to be simplified for the average Wikipedia reader, that is, made less academic and/or made slightly clearer by someone who both understands the subject matter and is a good writer. Perhaps one of these editors could take a look at it: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Rothorpe, Iridescent, among others.

2) An editor added some material recently (see this and subsequent edits). I have two concerns about it:

(a) The material seems so different from the rest of the article that, if it is indeed appropriate, I think some effort needs to be made to make the connection to the other material clearer; and
(b) the editor may be a non-native speaker of English, so the prose is just short of being truly comprehensible. Because I couldn't quite figure out what was meant, I decided to leave it alone, but it definitely needs some work. Perhaps Joshua Jonathan could help out here.  – Corinne (talk) 02:14, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I've removed it; it seems to be original research, and it is indeed out of place there. Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 18:54, 24 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kite Runner

[edit]

If you delete my edit again I will seek third-party assistance. deisenbe (talk) 00:33, 27 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

A cup of tea for you!

[edit]
Thanks for making me aware of the way in which the information on Dr. Dispenza was presented. It did sound a bit like an infomercial. But then again what had been placed on him sounded more like an attack and there were no sources at all. Is it worse to have a "self-source" than not to have any source. I noticed that you went back to a statement about him for which you do not place any source at all. And the way the article was written it gives a somewhat negative idea of who is Dr. Dispenza. I wanted to counter that and perhaps I went overboard. I added a factual information about him that can be verified very easily. Perhaps in the future I may add some more, I am counting on you that it does not sound like a commercial! :-) Pedromoralesffwp (talk) 09:21, 17 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

GOCE edit

Castlevania (TV series)

[edit]

From WP:MOSTV:

For main series articles, plot summaries of no more than 200 words per episode should ideally be presented in a table using {{Episode table}} and {{Episode list}} (such as State of Affairs). If appropriate, these articles could instead include a prose plot summary of no more than 500 words per season (such as Scouted) instead of an episode table, but an article should not have both an episode table and a prose summary.

Please stop removing the episode summaries and placing them in the "Plot" section. -- 68.32.218.140 (talk) 21:08, 11 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Archiving your talk page would be helpful, because your TOC is too long to scroll :-). Sorry for the delay on the copyedit; Seraphim System seems to have given up on it, although they're talking about spinning out the history section for some reason. Do you still want the copyedit, or is the page now under construction? I've opened a thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Guild of Copy Editors/Requests#Religion in ancient Rome. All the best, Miniapolis 15:22, 6 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Since the page seems to be under construction, we've declined your request for now. Feel free to relist it after any article splitting has been done. All the best, Miniapolis 23:33, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Recent addition to the WP:VG Reference Library

[edit]

Thank you for listing yourself as a contact person, Harizotoh9. In the absence of any true database for this kind of material, private listings by individual editors is essential for the success of the library and much appreciated! I just wanted to quickly mention that you'd listed "The Style of Games" (2012) under "Misc. Publishers" but you hadn't listed yourself as contact. I assume this was an oversight on you part. Can I add your name as the contact person for that book? -Thibbs (talk) 11:49, 11 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My thinking is that WP should greatly expand use of print sources, especially for gaming. This means first cataloging and expanding the list of reliable sources for books. There's also a wealth of artbooks, liner notes, and other first party sources from game developers that are largely not used on Wikipedia. The Japanese sources are the most useful, but often they're in Japanese only, making them difficult for English only speakers to use. I even found an interview with Shinji Mikami found in 90's American comics, which were useful as sources. Famitsu and Weekly Famitsu are treasure troves of developer interviews, but many remain untranslated, or have scant coverage in Western media.
I have some of these books I listed, but I'm not sure how to source them. I have "Masters of Doom" but it's the audio book I got from Audible.com. I have "The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers" Vol 1-2, but they're the digital versions. So I don't know how to cite pages since the digital version doesn't line up with the print version. For "The Style of Games", I've read one translated interview. I have DARIUS ODYSSEY, as it came with the steam version of Dariusburst on Steam. Some of the Japanese sources I added I don't have however, but there's translation projects working to translate parts of them. My idea is to add these books even if I don't have them for the time being, so that the library can be expanded. Harizotoh9 (talk) 08:48, 13 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to know why

[edit]

Hi ! Can I know why you erase what I add ? There is not only three substyles, there is many. Plus, there is to littles précisions. A wikipedia page exist to teach things with all the details or it's useless to create the page.. It's not an attack, just a question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.92.154.71 (talk) 01:42, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Could you explain why you think that the "In popular culture" sections of these articles are inappropriate and you have deleted them ? Perhaps it might have been better to debate the matter on the associated talk pages first. RGCorris (talk) 08:03, 28 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They fail several tests. They're poorly cited or not cited at all. Anything not cited can be challenged. The burden is on people adding material to Wikipedia to justify the inclusion of said material. They are often trivia or fancruft and and horribly WP:Recentism. This figure was born hundreds of years ago, yet the article devotes time discussing often obscure and niche media created in the last decade. Remember, Wikipedia is supposed to be timeless. It should make as much sense today as it would in the future or past.

Material can and should be added back, provided it's sourced, and proportional of importance. Probably some modern depictions or adaptions could be added back. But it all depends on sourcing. Harizotoh9 (talk) 15:13, 30 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reversion of H.H. Holmes addition

[edit]

Your recent reversion of my addition to the H.H. Holmes "Media" section was unwarranted. Whether you consider Mr. Mudgett's theory that his ancestor was Jack the Ripper was "wild speculation" is your opinion only and totally irrelevant; the fact is that the 8-part cable TV series American Ripper WAS broadcast in July and August 2017 on the History Channel, and it contained the verified facts about H.H. Holmes' history and his crimes. It is also a verified fact that Holmes' grave was exhumed at the request of his surviving descendants and that the body inside was positively identified as Holmes, thus dispelling the story that he had escaped his execution and continued killing. This is what I added to the section, I make no allusion as to whether or not I personally believe Mr. Mudgett's theory and I suggest that before you again undo another person's additions you verify the facts and not bring your own prejudices into the matter.TonyPS214 14:12, 6 September 2017 (UTC)

History Channel promotes Ancient Aliens and other fringe theories. They have little or no journalistic standards. Just because it's been on the History Channel doesn't mean it should be included. The exhumation is already included in the text. Harizotoh9 (talk) 16:31, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are again allowing your prejudices to cloud facts. Whether or not "History Channel promotes Ancient Aliens and other fringe theories ... [and has] little or no journalistic standards" is your own opinion and totally irrelevant. The fact that the program was broadcast is all that matters and warrants its inclusion.TonyPS214

Why undo my edits on the shroud of Turin

[edit]

Hi, I made edits to the Shroud of Turin article, which slightly expands on reasons for being skeptical of the radiocarbon results and provides a quote by Raymond Rogers alongside the Christopher Ramsay quote. I am not sure why this was deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Actuarialninja (talkcontribs) 20:08, 16 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
