Questions

I noticed you flagged something of mine for deletion. Can you teach me how I can flag stuff for deletion — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nascarman1 (talk • contribs) 03:01, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Stop It

You have no authority over me and if you threaten to ban me again i will tell the administrator. I have equal power as you and I am trying to be nice here but I don't appreciate you acting like your the boss. So can you please worry about your own articles and let me worry about mine ----NascarMan1

Wikipedia is a collaborative effort. No editor can simply "Worry about their own articles and not other people" because articles don't belong to the creator. You don't own an article, not even your userpage. Everything submitted on Wikipedia is free for anyone else to edit. Also, I was not acting like a "boss". The warning messages you saw were automatically generated. I tagged your article for deletion and reverted your edits because they did not meet up with Wikipedia's policies. You are welcome to report me to the admins (who am I to stop you?), but you should have a good reason handy before reporting. K6ka (talk | contrib) 17:32, 20 January 2014 (UTC)

Your deletion of my edit in the article Pramface

You've undone my edit in the article on pramface.

I'd say my edit was mischevious rather than vandalistic.

Nontheless the article concerned said "The term "pramface" is British slang for a young/unwed mother. It derives from "pram", a perambulator (baby carriage/stroller)." but cited no source for this.

As a native speaker of British English I have never heard this phrase used in any context other than that of the TV series.

I've therefore re-edited the article and simply removed the line which I believe to be mere nonsense.

I hope this meets with your approval — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.19.20.190 (talk) 20:29, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

That's a much better approach. Next time though, you should explain why you are removing the info in the edit summary by typing in "removing unsourced additions". If it's unsourced, remove it, don't say "This isn't true." You can also add {{fact}} next to the unsourced statement. If the unsourced statement is on an article about a living person, remove it, don't tag it. WP:CITE, WP:BLP, and WP:V are quite useful in this case.

RE: Vandalism

hey its me sorry about the vandalism on the thing about pesticides -westonman172 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Westonman172 (talk • contribs) 15:10, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the barnstar. I did make a request for rollback permission at the same time I asked for reviewer permission. It was not acted on for several days after the reviewer permission was granted. I noticed on the policy page that rollback permission may be deferred to see how one performs after getting reviewer permission. I rarely use it. The main reason I applied for it was because the real-time changes scroll was hanging up, apparently because I did not have a permission, even though I had used it for several months. Getting reviewer permission solved that problem so I withdrew the rollback request. Also, the administrator saw a couple of complaints, from vandals or perhaps one or two careless editors on my talk page. Maybe a mistake even was shown. The administrator cautioned me to be careful because of this. Frankly, I could not see that it was necessary since I had thousands of reversions with only a few complaints or mistakes - quickly corrected. I thought discretion was indicated on my part, however, and simply wrote something to the effect that I would be sure to exercise care and then after several days withdrew the pending rollback request. I know that Huggle would be more efficient, but for the time being I will stay with Twinkle and real-time changes and put a little more time between my reviewer permission and another rollback request.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. It did seem a little strange and I had never seen it before. On the other hand, I thought perhaps it had some meaning I didn't get.

Thanks // Vandalism is so 1980s.

Hi K6ka, thanks for the cookies and introducing me to Twinkle. I need to read the stuff but it looks good to me at 1st sight. I was indeed sort of following ClueBot, cherrypicking IPs from CB's hitlist to look for as yet undetected vandalist acts by those nasty IPs. And that is one question: can I "dump" (i.e. link to) vandalised article versions somewhere (after I removed the vanadalist text(s) manually) that can help as "false negatives" for any bot development/ tuning, especially if they (the vandalised articles) are older than, say, 1 day? I must say, some vandalist acts are hilarious some just puberal others plain insulting or destructive (none are appropriate, though). School's shared computers might be a problem. I will try to remember to "warn" IPs on their talk page after I undid their vandalism, or what I interpreted as such. I really have to do that? 'Cause that doubles the work, no? I mean if i am not sure it was vandalism sure, but many cases of this morning were just blatant vandalism cases? These people probably even have fun with their "warning"? Do I need to "suggest" IPs (or users) to be blocked, somewhere, or is the system scanning continuously for IPs or users with a level 3 or 4 edit warning? Thanks :-) Poepkop (talk) 13:50, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Twinkle has all the features you need. You can revert edits using the rollback links Twinkle provides, or by the "Restore this Version" link. Once you perform rollback using Twinkle, it will automatically open up the vandal's talk page, where you can warn them using the "TW" drop-down menu by the Search bar and click on "Warn". You can report vandals after they have received a level 4/4im warning by opening up the "TW" menu and selecting "ARV". This will allow you to report the vandal to WP:AIV. Once they've been reported, an administrator will be over to block the user eventually.
Warning vandals is important because some vandals think that nobody will notice their work, and giving them a warning usually tells most vandals that their nonconstructive edits are not appreciated and they'll usually stop. If they continue, give them stronger and sterner warnings. Once they reach their final warning and continue to vandalize, report them so they can be blocked. Warnings also help in case you made a mistake. The Level 1 warning helps, as it lets the editor know how to contact you to inform you of your mistake. So never underestimate the power that warnings have!
I'm not sure what you mean by "link to vandalized article versions". Do you mean providing a direct link to a particular revision of an article? All revisions of an article are stored, and they can be found in the page history, accessed via the "History" tab on the top of the page.
If you have any more questions, please reply below. K6ka (talk | contribs) 15:48, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks! Yes, " providing a direct link to a particular revision of an article" is what I meant :-) Those are older (but the current) revisions (more then 24 hrs) that have remained unnoticed for vandalism by ClueBot NG (or any bot for that matter). I have to see if I register for helping CB's database I guess I can record them there, or should I report such pages directly to one of the live people mentioned at CB's Userpage?
2 More things: (1) How to warn vandalising IP Users of which the act of vandalism was performed days/weeks/months ago but remained undetected? If the damage was done in say, December, do I warn them on their Talkpage under February or December? How do I know that some IP was in December 2013 the same computer as in February 2014 (regarding floating IPs)?
(2) Some "cleverer" vandalists seem to blank their user talk page from vandalism warnings (one or two occasions past 48 hrs). Should I treat this as vandalism and roll back to the latest version including those warnings? Because it appeared to me that the warning level-counting had started from 0 again, i.e. in the blanked version this user had 3 vandalism warnings and the next would thus have been level 4, but he blanked at quickly after receiving level 3; followed by yet another CB vandalism warning on the b lanked Userpage at only level 1 again (it was all on the same day, I should have noted these 2 IPs or usernames). But then, is this effective? Does blanking my Userpage from all vandalism warnings confuse ClueBot to give off a level 1 warning instead of the deserved level 4 warning that he/she deserved? Is blanking your own user page allowed at all, except for archiving purposes? Cheers Poepkop (talk) 15:02, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Not sure what you mean by "unnoticed vandalism". ClueBot NG is programmed to follow these rules:
  • User Whitelist - If an edit made by a user that is in a whitelist is classified as vandalism, the edit is not reverted.
  • Edit Count - If a user has more than a threshold number of edits, and fewer than a threshold percentage of warnings, the edit is not reverted.
  • 1RR - The same user/page combination is not reverted more than once per day, unless the page is on the angry revert list.
If ClueBot NG (sometimes abbreviated as CBNG, if it helps) doesn't revert an edit that's clearly vandalism, it's most likely one of the three factors listed above. The best you can do is to revert those edits. The only time you report an edit is when it's a false positive, when the bot classifies an edit that wasn't vandalism. More information on false positives here.
It actually is okay for users to blank and remove warnings from their talk page (unless specified, such as an unblock-declined notice). I was told this here. You can revert those edits if the user changed the text of the comments on their talk page (such as changing CBNG's warning to "Hello, and welcome to Wickedpedia. This is not a message letting you not know that one of more of your awesome edits have not been reverted (done) by a piece of shit known as ClueFucker".) See WP:OWNTALK for details.
When in doubt, just check the page history of the talk page and look for any previous warnings that were given on the same day (popups can help with this). If they do have a previous warning, take off from the last warning given (i.e. if the last warning they got was a level 3 warning, give them a level 4 warning, or report them if they have a level 4 warning). If the last warning they got was a level 4 warning, and then they blanked and CBNG or another user gave them a level 1 warning, you can just report them, and explain that they had blanked their talk page and that they had received a level 4 warning.
If you have any more questions, do not hesitate to ask! K6ka (talk | contribs) 16:04, 14 February 2014 (UTC)

Reply to your comment

Hello. I noticed that you performed a rollback on this edit (revert diff). Please note that rollback should only be used to revert obvious vandalism. In this case, you were reverting an edit that 1. Was not vandalism, 2. Was performed by a bot that was only trying to do its job and 3. The sandboxes are not permanent storage space for your articles. Bots will regularly clean the sandboxes and you should not revert them. Please only use rollback for appropriate means. K6ka (talk | contribs) 04:14, 15 February 2014 (UTC)

Okay, I was on Sandbox with the intention of making my own test edits, not reverting vandalism. I knew that the bots were there to clean the Sandbox and did not think that their edits were vandalism.

Edits to history of SF Street Artist Program

I understand how Wikipedia works. I know you want newspaper and document sources. However, when someone misrepresents the true history of the creation of the SF Street Artist Program because they rely only on old newspaper articles which are inaccurate and incomplete and the person who actually lived the history and was a major leader of the movement during 1971-1973 isn't even mentioned until the 1974 history then you are doing an injustice to me. I deliberately allowed myself to be arrested in 1971 and 1972 in order to challenge the constitutionality of the San Francisco Peddler Laws and to establish the Street Artist Program. For you not to allow a major participant in the historical event to give their personal account of what happened is like telling jews who lived through the Holocaust that their eyewitness accounts can not be included in the history of the Holocaust because they don't have newspaper articles or other documents to authenticate their accounts. I have hundreds of old newspaper articles and documents which support the edits I made. However, not every substantial person or event which played a major role in the creation of the SF Street Artist Program had a newspaper article written about them. Is Wikipedia going to refuse to allow those people and events to be included in the history simply because there was no newspaper article about them? I resent you telling me that a newspaper reporter writing a newspaper article about something I was personally involved in is a more reliable source of what actually occurred than myself. As a result of living through and participating in the creation of the SF Street Artist Program, I became the historian of the Street Artist Program. I resent you implying that the newspaper reporter who wrote an article is more reliable and unbiased than the person who actually lived through the events. There were many newspaper articles that falsely reported what was actually occurring at the time. I encourage you to do more research on this subject and I suggest that you begin with the SF Arts Commission Street Artist Program's webpage which has a short history about the founders of the SF Street Artist Program. If you would like any information about the history of the creation of the SF Street Artist Program, I will be glad to provide you with that information. However, in the meantime, if you are going to delete my edit of this article every time I repost it until I provide some sort of written documentation then it will take a lot of time and effort on my part to provide you with some written documentation but I will do it because I am not going to allow wikipedia to post a false history of the creation of the SF Street Artists Program that leaves out my involvement as a major leader in the movement in 1971-1973 as well as some of the other people who were involved and some events just because they weren't reported in an old newspaper article.

...Your wall of text makes this impossible for me to read and understand. Please try to simplify your points. I reverted your edit because it lacked clearly defined sources. Read WP:CITE on how to cite your material on Wikipedia. Your edit also removed a large portion of content, namely the categories. Also, check to see that your edit is "verifiable, notable, and written in a neutral point of view." These three policies are generally referred to as the three "pillars" of Wikipedia (in almost other words, if you forget everything else, remember these three things). Also, judging by what you said, it seems that your information is based on personal accounts and experience. Wikipedia cannot accept original research and is against our policies.

STiki question

Hey, I had a question about STiki and it wasn't answered yet in #wikipedia-en on IRC (I'm impatient :P). Does STiki not work on Linux? On Wikipedia:STiki it says "Windows, OS X", but it's a .jar file so I would expect it to work on Linux too. Upon launching it (through terminal (java -jar stiki.jar), I saw it was executing Wine, yet I see no reason for a jar file to have to be loaded using a Windows Program Loader like Wine. :S If you don't know, that's fine, but since you suggested it to me, I figured you'd be a good person to ask! ^_^ Also, unrelated question, can I steal some of the bullet points off of your talk page's edit notice to use on mine? :3 --George Barnick – Talk/Contribs 03:36, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Against our Will does argue a logical fallacy. Read what she says.

All men do not keep all women in their so called place with conscious intimidation thru a threat of rape. To argue that point is a sweeping broad generalization that should be noted as such.98.81.157.102 (talk) 18:02, 24 February 2014 (UTC)me

Information icon Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Uganda. This is much appreciated, but unfortunately your repair was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Sorry for the template, hope this helps. Both the named editor and the IP were vandalizing and it got into a bit of a mess! Cheers. DBaK (talk) 10:20, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Simple oversight. Glad that you corrected it. I don't appreciate the template though - a personally written message would've been better. K6ka (talk | contribs) 11:50, 26 February 2014 (UTC)
Thanks. I suppose you saw the bit that said "sorry about the template" above though? You got a template with a nice personally-written message too. I would have though that was a win-win! I am well aware of WP:DTTR but also of WP:TTR. And I'm quite impressed with bits of DTTR such as "They may also simply be trying to save time by avoiding writing out a lengthy message that basically says the same thing as the template, which is, after all, the purpose of a template." That "they" was me. Which, of course, we have both now undermined with this discussion ... I think I might go and make tea now. :) Best wishes — Preceding unsigned comment added by DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk • contribs) 12:04, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Self-Aggrandizing Edits and the Street Artists Program Article

I noticed that you previously weighed in on the Street Artists Program of San Francisco article's talk page. That article seems like it is spinning out of control from the self-aggrandizing, un-sourced, and clumsy edits of a very persistent individual who may also be running a sock puppet scheme. We really need some help and possibly some page protections for that article which was recently rewritten by a DYK Editor. Are you interested or have any suggestions?James Carroll (talk) 20:03, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Oh no. Not this article again. I wish I could just forget about it...

truth verses vandalism

the fact of the matter here is that my wife worked for these jokers for the first half of last year - and "clash magazine ltd" went bankrupt owing a lot of people (not least the british taxpayer) a huge amount of money

how can a entity like this be allowed to continue unchallenged?

why are you allowing wiki - supposedly an encyclopaedia - to be used for marketing purposes - and not warn others of the dangers of doing business?

i know you think you're doing the right thing - but you're so wrong

i don't really know how wiki works on this level - but i'm very happy to discuss this via mail richard.turner10@luckyfrog.co.uk

thanks 213.42.223.2 (talk) 12:44, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I don't discuss things on e-mail. You can discuss it on this talk page.
Your edit was reverted because 1. It wasn't supported by a valid citation, 2. It wasn't written in neutral point of view, and 3. By your explanation that would be an example of original research, which Wikipedia doesn't accept.
Before editing, you might want to check out the Introduction to Wikipedia, read the Five Pillars of Wikipedia, and, if you still have questions, ask it in the Teahouse, where friendly and experienced editors will answer you. K6ka (talk | contribs) 12:49, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

help

wikipage subcommissural organ can you help me with the references? if you notice some references are more than once but the wikipage assume that they are difference and they atribute a new number. do you see that in the page? it is hapening with the book that I put in the references. — Preceding unsigned comment added by FCULneuro (talk • contribs) 19:22, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Citations are pretty simple, really. If you have one source and it is used only once in the article, just wrap it with <ref></ref> tags. For example - <ref>http://www.awesomesite.com/</ref>. If the same source is used more than once in the article, do something like this:

Will had initially stated that Jon Bon Jovi was an amazing artist.<ref name="enter a name that other editors will recognize here">http://www.awesomesite.com/</ref>.

...a couple of paragraphs later...

Alyssa did not appear at Jon Bon Jovi's birthday party despite being invited.<ref name="enter a name that other editors will recognize here" />

In other words, this will allow you to add the same footnote to different parts of the article. The most important thing is that one of those "ref name" tags have the citation. Once one of them has it, you can just type <ref name="name of reference" /> and the footnote will appear in both places where you put the tags.

Sorry if I'm not being very clear here...you can play around in the sandbox. I've done an example in my own sandbox if it helps. K6ka (talk | contribs) 20:28, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Im dreadfully sorry to disturb you but you recently deleted what I put on the poet/poetry pages. I find this not only to be rude a disrespectful , but it has also insulted my dignity.

Edits by 145.118.128.65

Hi, Entering the English Wikipedia, and not yet personally logged in, I stumbled across your message on reverting an edit in "Pull & Bear". The reason for reverting was very politely phrased, as the contribution was plane vandalism. The IP address 145.118.128.65 however belongs to a secondary school in Rotterdam, The Netherlands, and therefor is blocked in nl.Wikipedia for anonymous contributions. Maybe this should be installed in the English Wikipedia too. T.vanschaik (talk) 11:00, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

The edit summary was automatically generated, and I did not write it. We are aware that the IP address belongs to a school see the talk page, but we won't block it until that IP has received enough warnings and vandalizes the wiki enough times. If you think this IP should be globally blocked, you can take it to the administrator noticeboard, since I'm not an admin here. K6ka (talk | contribs) 11:48, 3 March 2014 (UTC)

I just want to say thank you for the barnstar ... which is also sort of a way of saying "you're welcome" for the "thank you" expressed by the barnstar.

About the Wilson Rawls Edit

I'm very very sorry for the incident. This account is actually shared by the entire middle and high school students of Beresford High School, so there's definitely a few wise guys out there who think vandalizing stuff is super funny. I apologize as it is beyond my control.

I assume this is the diff. Please remember to link to the article in question when asking me about a revert.
Taking just one look at the diff clearly indicates that it does not belong to Wikipedia. There is no questions to be asked here. The exact same thing is also an example of original research, which Wikipedia does not accept. It doesn't matter if Drew Carey is your friend - if he tells you something that the world doesn't know about, you can't add it to Wikipedia even if it's true because that's original research (how do we know you're actually Drew Carey's friend and not an impersonator?). Everything on Wikipedia needs to be supported by a reliable source. K6ka (talk | contribs) 02:31, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
On closer examination, it seems that you're referring to Sulay Chapelle, which was nominated for speedy deletion under section A7 of the Speedy Deletion Guidelines. I do not remember the contents of the page, and only an admin can view the deleted page at the moment. Again, like I said above, but also remember that all articles created on Wikipedia should have some level of notability. Wikipedia doesn't care about your garage band, because if we did, the quality of the encyclopedia would deteriorate. K6ka (talk | contribs) 02:35, 8 March 2014 (UTC)
I believe Skyguy is referring to Sulayman Chappelle, son of comedian Dave Chappelle as he is fairly insistent that he knows him as a personal friend. Given that Sulayman is 13 this year, it would likely put Skyguy in the same age range. Again, not encyclopedic content but that's what I've gathered from this situation. I also don't think Dave Chappelle would enjoy the fact that someone is posting (albeit somewhat harmless) things about his son for the world to read about. Antoshi ☏ ★ 04:11, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

putin

hey im sorry to say that putin deserves everything negative he gets. he is a horribly bad person and is only out for him self takes steals destroys and tries to control what ever is in his reach. ps what makes these politic members so special and so powerful that i cant speak my mind on them. im am the one along with many of my fellow other human beings. that take care of these so called people. i pay there wages i feed them i send them on free trips and they get the best of everything because of people like me. we do the work all the hard work and they get paid. as well your opinion on vandalism. does not apply to wikipedia. now that im here and alive. im tired of the murder and abuse of power as well; as destruction of innocent people. most of these so called members their work consists of hurting and stealing from innocent people. Then they take a nice long vacation from my cheque. do youlike being threatened and controlled. i know i dont and i can sure tell you that my family and friends and country members sure dont. stand up for your self you walk the earth not somebody else for you dont align with a joke, tell a joke somebody laugh. ps look at the T.O prob rob ford crack head drug addict and potential gang member. dont back something that does not have merit. if we start doing things different which they dont want to becuase they know economies will getting stronger. the poor will then get rich very slowly i might add because it took so freakin long. the rich will stay rich. eventually in a 1000 years we will all be at par. alright enough of this stuff. as for ed hardy some of his art is alright like i said before though boring and over recycled. i just want to let ed know its gettin tiring. bye have a good day. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.156.87.67 (talk) 19:21, 14 March 2014 (UTC)

You are bringing up a topic that is nearly two weeks old. As it has been discussed before, Wikipedia must be written in a neutral point of view. We do not write "He totally deserved that!" The reader must not be urged to take a side from an article - they must be given the choice. If this weren't the case, Wikipedia would've been flamed repeatedly by the media for writing such biased content. Most encyclopedias are also written in neutral point of view, and Wikipedia is no exception. Your very long description also gives me the "TL;DR" feeling one gets when he/she gets a wall of text. I can only say that, no matter how much reasoning you give, we will not add such negative comments to the article. Ever. K6ka (talk | contribs) 08:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Your wikibreak

Everything was optional, for beginners. Joining any cadet program in Canada is optional. This trip itself was optional. My mom was the one who forced me to go on this trip. They didn't have to send anyone down if they didn't want to, but they just hoped this would get a cadet's feet wet and to let them know what life in the military was like (Cadets are not part of the military or armed forces in Canada). K6ka (talk | contribs) 08:36, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
One more thing. I was wondering why your mother sent you on the trip. Is it because she wanted you to become a cadet when you are older? Epicgenius (talk) 13:49, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
