Potters house Christian centre

Hello I was just wondering why you thought my comment was unnecessary? I thought it was important to show people searching wiki for the potters house church what the church is really like, from an actual member rather than from people who have left in the past or just don't know that much about the church. The way the church was being portrayed, in my opinion was inaccurate. I personally believe it a lovely Christian and love filled place to be, and wanted to share that with everyone. I understand people may think I come from a biased viewpoint, but you need both viewpoints on the site rather than just a critical viewpoint, I personally believe from my experiences of 16 years up till present, that my viewpoint is objective. Anyways I would love to hear your side, god bless and kind regards :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilovejesuschristforever777 (talkcontribs) 11:13, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

Greetings,

That was me who edited my user page - I just hadn't bothered to sign in.

Even so, why did you believe the changes to be unconstructive? The table clearly needed updating, so did you not even bother to look at what the changes were?

Zippr Address

Hey Solara, you had cleared up an external link that i had posted on the Golconda page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golkonda. The link directs people to the golconda fort's coordinates on a map and then gives the person turn by turn navigation. Zippr is a new platform being used in some places in India and is picking up. As a hyderabad citizen i wanted Golconda to be easily found and navigated to. Please re-instate the link if the above reason is justified. Also try Zippr first hand to understand what i mean.

Religious Intolerance

I have no idea if you are part of the religious intolerance of certain people adding to and editing the "Hailsham" page, or if you have just been used by others. Wikipedia has a strick policy against the editing of information about religion on the basis of intolerance against religion or religious groups. I intend to report this matter if any more words to Judaism and Christianity and Islam are removed from the Hailsham page without proper justification. Wikipedia is a site for everyone to add to, and to edit, not just people who hold narrow religious viewpoints and are intolerant of others. References to Jewish persecution should not be edited out of a town's history just because some people do not like it.

I haven't edited that page. However, based on your edit history it seems you are having issues with other editors on the content of the article. I suggest taking the issues to the talk page :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 11:08, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk Edit on DC Publications Crossover

If what I said is nonconstructive, its nonconstructive. I am not going to argue that, however I would like advice on moving this forward. I tried to provide as much foreknowledge as possible and ask for assistance in finding source material to legitimatize the original edit before I jumped in and deleted it without. The edit in question is uncited, and when trying to cite it, I found Not one shred of reference to it even existing in any comic industry journalism or otherwise, I attempted to crowdsource for the answer which is when it became vandalised. Ideas? thoughts? comments? should I try rewriting and attempting a talk post again or should I just ignore the "potential vandalism" and assume if it isn't legit, it will be removed eventually, or should I jump the gun and remove it myself? never removed possible vandalism so Im treading lightly as to not anger the other users or worse admin gods ;) --Dwarvenbierschneeman (talk) 11:48, 29 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I'm interested in attempting to put together an edit-a-thon for Hawaiian cultural topics something during the Makahiki festival perhaps around the month of November.

Miss Multiverse page deleted

Greetings Solarra, you have a very nice wikipedia page and profile... congrats!!!

I have a frustrating issue here... I have created the page Miss Multiverse, it was deleted once before about a year ago, i don´t understand why if it has all the right references, no use of promotion, just facts, there are even winners of miss universe that have participated in Miss Multiverse whom have profiles on wikipedia... and its still deleted as if this beauty pageant does not exist.

There are many smaller beauty pageants listed on wikipedia, we are just not able to comprehend why this is happening, it almost feels as if enthusiasts or supporters of other pageants are deleting this one, it takes time to learn how to use wikipedia and frustrating to see someone just come and delete it.

First of all, I'd check over at WP:AFD to see if the article has recently been put up for deletion, such things tend to happen from time to time, especially when an article is untouched for a bit of time.

Hi Solarra! I revised the article Conservative Friends of Russia for credibility and purpose. The article was written originally in essay format as a news article rather than a Wikipedia entry. The references are also questionable sources of a biased nature. I have made the article a candidate for deletion as it is now superseded by the Westminster Russia Forum page which I have updated with Wikipedia entry structure with Table of Content.User:CBF28

@CBF28: As I mentioned in my edit summary, I suggest taking it to WP:AFD if you feel the article needs to be deleted for POV/neutrality issues, but as the sources establish, it doesn't qualify for A7. Additionally, unilaterally blanking a page established for over 2 years can be easily considered a bad faith edit. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 12:10, 19 June 2014 (UTC)
@Solarra: Thanks for the advice. I will take it to WP:AFD to discuss the neutrality issues. As you had already indicated on the article it requires cleanup and reorganization, my view here is that this article is superseded by Westminster Russia Forum and any material of relevance and correctly referenced must be included in the other article, as this historic nature of a now defunct/renamed organization makes it subject to disputed neutrality, as well as the lack of updates to an article of historic nature of an organization that now operates under a different name, lends itself to the history section of the superseding article. Thanks!

Hi, Solarra, can you revert my change back? I think the party's views on the Democratic Unionist Party more than suited the ideology that would be attributed to the far-right. For example, their blood ban on homosexuals, their determination to keep homosexuals from adopting or getting married and their recent onslaught of hateful xenophobic and racist tripe they openly discuss and defend, for example 2 days ago their leader defended a protest outside an African immigrant's home, even going as far to say that 'local homes for local people' wasn't a racist thing to say. Their religious prejudice from the past also takes a grip of their party still. Thank you for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Redpyro87 (talkcontribs) 13:41, 19 June 2014 (UTC)

editing "Njan Steve Lopez"

Hi Solarra, This is about the editing of the page Njan Steve Lopez, where I edited out a redirection.

"Njan Steve Lopez" is an Indian film under production by Collective Phase One, scheduled to be released sometime this year. I happen to have authentic information about the film, as I am the editor of the film. Farhaan Faasil is the lead actor of the film. The film requires a page for itself instead of being redirected to the actor's page. That is why I have edited it. Other users will now get a chance to add more details. Would you please see the page now and I request you to please do not undo the edit.

Userspace has a much lower threshold than the main article namespace when it comes to content, especially since it is where many new articles are written. As long as that user isn't posting something defamatory, harassing, advertising, etc it is generally allowed.

That random AIV report

Since you've reported MarkBM to AN/EW, should I report the other (the AIV filer) as well? He made 4 reverts in as many hours (if I can do math), also stopped after I warned, but has no further (non-obvious-vandalism) reverts anywhere else. I'm guessing "wait and see". Ansh666 05:48, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

MarkBM continued warring after he was warned, that's why I reported him specifically. Technically the other user involved could be blocked (and might be per WP:3RR) and if it is warranted, the investigating admin will take into account the actions of all involved.

You have no "civil rights" here on Wikipedia. Being able to edit is a privilege. The rules are blind: even if you are "right", engaging in the type of behavior you have been does still count as "a direct violation of policy". Ansh666 06:22, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

You made the change, it was boldly reverted, it was discussed - but not until after you reverted back to your version several times.

In the three messages you have been left regarding that edit, instructions are included on how to source content. Per the living persons biographies policy, all unsourced negative contributions can be reverted. Continuance to violate that policy will almost certainly result in a block. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 17:38, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

You left me no instructions on how to cite sources. If you were truly on Wikipedia to help other users, you would offer help instead of leveling false accusations. By claiming to have left instructions on how to cite sources, you have also lied. (Personal attack removed) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.158.147.133 (talk) 17:43, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Cedar Point

Just letting you know—when you reverted an IP's recent edit to Cedar Point, you marked it as unexplained speedy deletion template removal, even though it didn't remove any speedy tag (the page didn't even have a speedy tag). I commented out the warning on their talk page. If you actually did mean to do this, feel free to revert me. Thanks! —LucasThoms 23:45, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Draft:Jumpstreet Tours

Hello Solarra. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Draft:Jumpstreet Tours, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not unambiguously promotional. Thank you. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 07:05, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

This edit gave me no reason why you removed the content, which is why the edit was reverted. However, I'll discuss it with you. The content is sourced from Reuters, Vice Magazine, and other strong secondary sources, can you point to somewhere that verifies what you claim? ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 10:36, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

dash fixing, part 2

Hi, I let you know about this last month (User talk:Solarra/Archive 5#dash fixing 2), though it archived without comment. Today, a script you applied to Barack Obama via this edit broke an image link, fixed by another user here. Is there something that can be done to this script so that it either skips altering dashes in File: links, or alerts the editor that an image needs to be renamed? Tarc (talk) 23:08, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

I reported the bug to the user who wrote the script. I have been manually checking to see if it has been breaking images and/or reference links, thanks for catching the booboo, appreciated :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 23:19, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

Angel Solarra, Is there any way to completely delete older versions from my Wiki History? like this one..https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Arvind_Iyer&oldid=544630057 full of wrong information.The only one that needs to stay is the one that is currently live on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arvind_Iyer The rest do not contribute to anything except database dumps on sites that never update and mass confusion with identity.If possible,kindly help me.only an Admin or Moderator can make these deletions i assume. thanks (Suntug11 (talk) 11:27, 16 July 2014 (UTC))

Administrators can delete revisions from article history (see this page's history for examples) but this is only done for egregious violations of WP:BLP, blatent personal attacks, etc. We keep article histories around because it shows where the article has been and who has contributed to the article, which is required under the CC-BY-SA license contributions are licensed under. If there is examples of information that does need to be deleted, see WP:REVDEL. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪ ߷ ♀ 投稿 ♀ 11:34, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
