Domingão do Faustão

Thanks for reverting an edit on "Domingão do Faustão". It is being vandalized since December 16th. I just made all the rest of reverting. It would be good to keep an eye on it. Cheers.—Teles «Talk to me˱_{M @ C S}˲» 22:55, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, will do that. Widr (talk) 22:58, 26 December 2014 (UTC)

Album article FAC

Hi! Would you care to review or comment at my FAC for the article Of Human Feelings? One review has just been finished, but a few more would be appreciated to determine consensus or if anything needs to be fixed. Dan56 (talk) 02:12, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

I can certainly have a look at some point, but since this is one of the areas I'm not really into, I probably won't be able to help you that much. Widr (talk) 16:30, 28 December 2014 (UTC)

Mehran Tavakoli Keshe page

i did some modifications on the page of Mehran Tavakoli Keshe and they were undone by you. Mehran Tavakoli Keshe has claimed to be the messias http://galacticconnection.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/Letter-of-Mehran-Tavakoli-Keshe-18.4.2014.pdf, has created the world pece treaty and incoutable more nonsensical stuff, just get a look at the content in his forums. He has also sold "plasma reactors" in 2011 which were obviously never given.

The information in his wiki page was not representative of his person and my contribution intended to improve it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Legoiv.4 (talk • contribs) 02:35, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi I thank you for your message. I am just trying to state that facts of Shri Guru Ravidass as the information currently on Wikipedia is false and misleading. Please provide me with more information.

isaac tigrett

Dear Sir, we are concerned about the framework of text that is used of the Wiki page of Mr Isaac Tigrett the user (TruthHunterForFun) who has control of this page. As this is a Verbatim from the BBC however keeping the original, it is out of contexts which will be seen as misleading.

the original (Tigrett stated that he believed that there was truth to the rumors of Sai Baba's actions of pedophilia and sexual abuse towards some of his young male followers. He also stated that such behavior would not change his belief in Sai Baba.[2])

However Isaac Tigrett did not state such a thing, we ask you to be kind enough to either remove it or change it to the following:

Tigrett was influenced by his guru, Sathya Sai Baba.[1] In the BBC documentary The Secret Swami, " Tigrett stated that he believed that there was truth to the rumors of Sai Baba's actions" He also stated that such behavior would not change his belief in Sai Baba. (This is taken verbatim from BBC programme.)[2]

We have been trying to change this matter for a long time however with no success as (TruthHunterForFun) dose not wish to cooperate with us. Mr Tigrett is upset to see his words misrepresented in such a manner. I ask you to be kind enough to change this slight misunderstanding that is appearing on Mr. Isaac Tigrett page.

Please except my apologies as i am new to this system.

Divinpurity (talk) 21:50, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

There is no reason to change the article. It's all in the source that is provided. Widr (talk) 22:00, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

isaac tigrett

Dear Sir, As you can see from the documentary, it is the reporter who says "(Sai Baba's actions of pedophilia and sexual abuse towards some of his young male followers)" not Mr Tigrett, but dose agree to her comment. again I ask you kindly to remove just this section of the text. Divinpurity (talk) 22:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)

Ion Thruster

Ban me if you like but your content for the propulsive efficiency for the Ion thruster is not relevant and badly sourced. Do you have any engineering or physics argument to support that the formulas used there are correct?? Have you atleast checked the Talk section, another user noted the same mistake.

I am sorry but I honestly wanted to contribute to this article, and every correction seems to be bashed by people who do not seem to have much knowledge in physics nor aerospace engineering.

Instead of simply removing the edit go and check the talk page or read a physics book. If you wan't a source any old physics or engineering manual should do, this is basic newtonian physics.

Ban me if you wan't, but this paragraph will still be completely wrong and make aeronspace engineers laugh, your choice.

This gives a nice image of Wikipedia. Sjaure (talk) 14:01, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

PS: The paragraph is: "Ion thrusters are frequently quoted with an efficiency metric. This efficiency is the kinetic energy of the exhaust jet emitted per second divided by the electrical power into the device.

The actual overall system energy efficiency in use is determined by the propulsive efficiency, which depends on vehicle speed and exhaust speed. Some thrusters can vary exhaust speed in operation, but all can be designed with different exhaust speeds. At the lower end of Isps the overall efficiency drops, because the ionization takes up a larger percentage energy, and at the high end propulsive efficiency is reduced.

Optimal efficiencies and exhaust velocities can thus be calculated for any given mission to give minimum overall cost."

Where is the source? Why is it even published then ? Can you explain how you define "vehicle speed" in a vacuum? This is paragraph is of mere quality... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sjaure (talk • contribs) 14:06, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi Widr,

I'm Purlboy. Thanks for your help. I created and own this image. I will send that letter per the Wikipedia info page to "permissions-en" stating I am the owner and president of the company and the image that created it.

I hope that will correct the issue with my upload?

Thanks again,

Reverted edit Richard Shackleton Pope

Woodwell crescent was designed by the architect Richard Shackleton Pope whilst in partnership with BIndon sand Clark. A reference to this can be seen in Andrew Foyle, Bristol, Pevsner Architectural Guides (2004) ISBN 0-300-10442-1. Which has already been referenced on the Richard Shackleton Pope page. So could you let me know what I have done that constitutes vandalism? Many thanks Alx21 (talk) 15:17, 1 February 2015 (UTC) Alx21

Vandal?

Is this guy a vandal? I'm asking in case you have knowledge about this zodiac stuff. What are these numerical edits in the infoboxes which don't seem to show up in the article? Please let me know and I'll revert them all and have the user blocked. Thanks. — Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 20:41, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

I noticed those edits too, but I have no idea what they are about. At least they don't seem to be obvious vandalism. Widr (talk) 20:50, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

@Widr:The option "nr" isn't even listed in Template:Infobox_zodiac, and doesn't show up in the article, but the option was already there. What the heck is he doing?! He's doing mass changes without consensus, with all these odd adjustments day by day by day, and it seems like how people do genre warring. If you have any clue, please use {{reply to}} so I'll have any chance of ever seeing it. Thx.— Smuckola (Email) (Talk) 23:43, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

@Smuckola: I haven't followed their edits after the initial ones, but took another look now. There are no new warnings on the talk page, which is probably a good sign. You could maybe ask them what the edits are about if that is what you are wondering? Widr (talk) 23:54, 3 February 2015 (UTC)

Files for Upload problems

Hi Widr, just a quick note. User:2602:306:CE9A:860:38A8:5C12:542:5B89, who you've warned for vandalism, was actually helping fix the Files for Upload archive, the archiving bot has become incredibly confused and has been saving archived material in the wrong place. I think he intends to keep working away, fixing the problem, so I thought it best to explain the situation (and the edits I've made). Nick (talk) 09:26, 16 February 2015 (UTC)

Jade Fairbrother article

Good day Widr,

Been trying to get to speak to a human at Wikipedia. The reason why I removed the content of that wiki page is because (all my attempts) of deleting the page, have proven impossible. I've edited and included delete request (quick or normal) and always gets undone. The problem? This page was created by me and it is my wife (Jade Earp-Jones). Her prior modelling past upon searching in Google for her new name links to this Wikipedia page (Jade Fairbrother)? How can we remove this? There is no text of Jade Earp-Jones included in the article, yet if you search Google for 'Jade Earp-Jones' it appears there. At one stage in previous reiterations of the page, she included her new full name, but no longer does. So this has impacted her professional finance career as she's been fired recently for being found out she did Playboy a few years ago.

Please advise?

RE: Handbells article

You have edited my additions to the Handbells article. For as long as I have monitored this article, Cynthia Dobrinski has been listed as the only composer/arranger of handbell music. It is patently absurd to suggest that only Ms Dobrinski is of note here. While she is a talented and prolific arranger/composer, there are over 150 other published musicians in this category whose body of work is relevant to readers seeking information the handbell compositions. Kindly do basic research before making arbitrary edits. A simple visit to www.handbellworld.com -- one of the external links on in the Handbell article would reveal a robust list of composers and arrangers -- many of whom own their own publishing companies (external links which are also included) So before chastising editors for including pertinent information, you should, perhaps, investigate that information's pertinence first. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emilypreston28 (talk • contribs) 17:35, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

We usually do not add names of people who are not notable enough to have their own Wikipedia articles. Only Dobrinski seems currently to have one. Also remember that it's always your duty to provide sufficient references and proof of notability if you add new content to articles. Widr (talk) 18:03, 21 February 2015 (UTC)

I provided references on the initial post by providing links to the composers' websites -- which you removed. And to suggest that Ms Dobrinski's page makes her notable is evidentiary that you have not viewed said page. It is problematic at best. What I am saying is that you, clearly, are not an expert, or even an ingenue in this subject. If you had even a rudimentary knowledge of the instrument, you would not be arguing with me that Ms Dobrinski's body of work, though laudable, is more relevant or noteworthy than that of far more prolific arrangers. Wikipedia's fragile credibility relies on the knowledge and expertise of the collective. When ill-informed elitists post or edit irresponsibly, it hurts the entire community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emilypreston28 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 21 February 2015 (UTC)
