Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/AshKmorse

You're welcome to comment. -- Brangifer (talk) 21:54, 31 December 2010 (UTC)

Could you please explain the reason for removing the sentence "Contrary to the paragraph above, four different studies have been conducted on Oscillococcinum. Two of these have been published in peer-reviewed journals. These clinical studies show that Oscillo reduces both the severity and the duration of flu-like symptoms." It was appropriately sourced and is as complicit with NPOV as the paragraph above. Please explain reason for removal. I am not a Sockpuppet. I have sought to only add a sentence of relevance to clinical studies. I am seeking an immediate explanation as clearly there is a bias going on. I do not seek to enter an editing war, only to enter valid and relevant neutral content. Thank you. -- MelissaK85 (talk) 23:01, 14 February 2011 (UTC)

Hello, if you say that you are not a sockpuppet, could you tell me how you came up with the text of your edit? It is nearly identical to many edits done by several users in the past few weeks. If the text is coming from a website, then it's likely a copyright violation and it cannot stay. If you looked at the article's history to get it, then you probably already know why the change was reverted since several editors have done so and explained their action.

Now about the specific reasons (and in no special order):

Misplaced Pages articles are not organized as point/counter point so you cannot really phrase a paragraph by starting with "Contrary to the paragraph above". It should be one narrative describing the product.

The studies you are citing are older and lower in quality than the ones already present (and showing not effect) in the article. By your own admissions, some of them are not even pier-reviewed.

Finally, and that's especially true for articles about a pseudo-science like homeopathy, not all view points are equal, please see the policy on undue weight and reliable sources for medical articles. I hope that helped. --McSly (talk) 04:04, 15 February 2011 (UTC)

Edit war

Hello. You appear to be involved in an edit war on Libya. While the three-revert rule is hard and fast, please be aware that you can be blocked for edit warring without making 3 reverts to an article in 24 hours. You are not entitled to 3 reverts and are expected to cooperatively engage other editors on talk pages rather than reverting their edits. Note that posting your thoughts on the talk page alone is not a license to continue reverting. You must reach consensus. Continued edit warring may cause you to be blocked. Toddst1 (talk) 01:25, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

No worries, this is not an edit war, we are having a healthy discussion. But thanks for the reminder. --McSly (talk) 01:33, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

Links to blogs

Hello. Can you please give me more information why is inappropriate to link my collection of design patterns which is free for the open community. Am I missing something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.245.127.15 (talk) 15:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Zecharia Mayani

Hi. Your input would be helpful at Talk:Zecharia Mayani.   — Jeff G.  ツ 22:30, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

Please do not Interfere with Improving Objectivity (KeepingTrue (talk) 00:41, 26 March 2011 (UTC))

I see that once again you removed my edits without adding content. It appears that you have an opinion related to the topic of Creation_Science. I also see that you have a history of such behavior, including on the Creation_Science article. Edit Warring is not appropriate Misplaced Pages behavior. For clarification, the edits made to the article are intended to improve objectivity. The tone of the grammar in the first few paragraphs was inconsistent with content further in the article. I realize that this may be an emotional issue for you. For the sake of readers, Misplaced Pages articles need to be kept objective, using good journalistic practices. With topics such as Creation_Science, articles tend to present a variety of strong points of view. Keeping opinion to a minimum is important. Remember: readers come to Misplaced Pages for information, not opinion. The more that the Misplaced Pages content is compromised, the less appealing Misplaced Pages will be to readers.

I do not wish to discuss the topic of the article. That is not my objective. If you would like to discuss proper writing, per Misplaced Pages recommendations, I will discuss it with you.

And, always keep your Misplaced Pages writing true! — Preceding unsigned comment added by KeepingTrue (talk • contribs)

Hello, you are obviously welcome to edit the page and contribute to improving its content. The reason I reverted your edits is because they introduced some factual errors or inaccuracies. For example, "popular geology" has no meaning as science is not based on what is popular, but on what the evidence shows (see astrology as a example). Same thing for your change from "scientific community" to "evolutionary community". I'm not sure you are aware of it, but that change is a classic example of denialism done by creationists. Which is, obviously contrary to your goal of improving objectivity. --McSly (talk) 16:23, 26 March 2011 (UTC)

Re: User pages being linked to

Just wanted to say thank you for clarifying on the user of user pages being linked to, I was wondering why I was removed and I suppose that was the culprit. No worries on that end, link certainly needs to come out then. NzMattis (talk) 03:31, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

No worries,always a pleasure. --McSly (talk) 03:34, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Buster Posey

I just wanted to inform you that the information that was posted about Buster Posey and his wife expecting twins is true. Sfgiantsws10 (talk) 01:19, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

No worries, as long as it is cited, it's all good. --McSly (talk) 01:25, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Editor assistance

This is just to let you know that an article you have contributed to is the subject of a discussion at Editor assistance requests. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 14:00, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

List of Deserts

You just reverted List of deserts for no reason. It's List of deserts not List of desserts. --Julian the Shadow | ( Talk | Contribs) 17:41, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

He he, I should have paid more attention to the previous edit before reverting. Thanks for correcting my mistake. --McSly (talk) 19:02, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Creation myth

User:Conservative Philosopher's edit that you ID'd as vandalism looks like an accident. NYyankees51 (talk) 18:32, 3 September 2011 (UTC)

October 2011

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Unterhaltungssoftware Selbstkontrolle: you may already know about them, but you might find Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Walter Görlitz (talk) 03:05, 24 October 2011 (UTC)

RE: Image Changes

The images keep switching back to what they were before and I want them to be different. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greggy123 (talk • contribs) 01:57, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi

im New here want to me friends PS: Cool Name N64dude (talk) 18:54, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks.

Thank you for letting me know. I'm new to Misplaced Pages and didn't see the restrictions for all of the links. Katenvaughn (talk) 02:50, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

No worries, always a pleasure. --McSly (talk) 02:51, 7 January 2012 (UTC)

Dassault Rafale

Hi McSly ! I just read your comment, saying "That upgrade was scrapped years ago, maybe for future version but not F3", but why is this ('recent') article (June, 20 2011) : http://www.defenseindustrydaily.com/Frances-Rafale-Fighters-Au-Courant-in-Time-05991/

"Since 2008, all Rafales have been delivered in the F3 standard, which adds the ability to carry French ASMP-A air-launched nuclear missiles, allowing the Rafale to replace the Mirage 2000N in that role. Other modifications include full integration with the Reco NG reconnaissance pod, implementation of all currently planned modes for the RBE2 radar, antiship attack with the Exocet or ANF, the Gerfaut helmet-mounted sight, and support for an improved tanker pack.

And could you give any other piece of information ?

Thanks, AirCraft (talk) 19:10, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

A few sources, mostly blogs and forums though. The feature seems to have been dropped quietly. Here are a few examples:

IP hopping monkeys

• Hi there~! BTW, I see that you are whacking-a-mole with that Cameroonian monkey again, thanks and keep up the good work~! Well, I for one can never figure out why these incompetent editors are so fond of inserting hoax/rubbish into Misplaced Pages. Toodles~! --Dave 16:36, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for cleaning up after the Cameroon vandal(s)! -Fnlayson (talk) 19:12, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

No problem. On the bright side, they always do at least one edit which is obviously wrong. That makes them easy to spot.--McSly (talk) 23:16, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

• 41.202.200.121 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) He's back again~! Supreme facepalm of destiny... --Dave 20:17, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. As always they were either obviously wrong or with bogus references. Anyway, it's all corrected now.--McSly (talk) 00:12, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

• Rutherford B. Hayes
• FWIW, I just help passed a protection bill for the article page in case that little boring tweet comes back in a week's time (yes, extended from 2 days to a 1 week block for his continuous pointy behaviour~!) to try his grubby little hands at silly vandalism again. Supreme facepalm of destiny... Hope the nincomput finds something else meaningful to do instead. Cheers~! --Dave 19:47, 5 March 2012 (UTC)

Warning vandals after reverting

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Overpopulation: you may already know about them, but you might find Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹ 18:37, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

Use edit comments.

Use edit comments. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.10.23.179 (talk) 03:09, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Response fitting your comment

Please stop adding comments to articles. I remove them for a reason.

Also, if you want to open up a dialog, do so. --91.10.23.179 (talk) 03:13, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I did not add these comments. They were there before. Any removal will be summarily reverted. If you continue, you will be blocked.--McSly (talk) 03:15, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

These comments have no function, and maybe even more important, no function that you mention. If threats are your only argument, you should leave. --91.10.23.179 (talk) 03:17, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hallo? Are you a bot? (Serious question since you don't seem to interact.) --91.10.23.179 (talk) 03:22, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Your bias

What I have written is more accurate than the biased way the article was written before. — Preceding unsigned comment added by A.kirkwood.spence (talk • contribs) 01:25, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

If you don't agree with the current version of the article, that's perfectly fine obviously. But in that case I would suggest you use the talk page of the article to discuss the chnages instead of edit warring.--McSly (talk) 01:29, 14 March 2012 (UTC)

Thanks!

Hi McSly thanks for restoring my User Page last night, my time zone that is!Tmol42 (talk) 11:20, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Last Edit

Why you undone the talk on Libya's Page? I want the reason, although i haven't undone the action. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Justicejayant (talk • contribs) 13:17, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I gave the reasons in my edit summary (see again WP:TALK and WP:SOAP). But if you want the short version, essentially, stop acting as a whinny 6 year old child. If you want to improve the article, don't remove large parts of text, especially when it's sourced, provide specific concise explanations on the talk page that don't start with "Idiotic Article" and following by conspiracy theory like ramblings. Can you do that? --McSly (talk) 13:30, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, I see. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.169.10.59 (talk) 14:32, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Incorrect Revert

this i think was needless and an incorrect revert by Huggle, Thanks and regards -- ÐℬigXЯaɣ 06:18, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Smile!

A smile for you You’ve just received a random act of kindness! 66.87.0.137 (talk) 13:40, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

shiatsu

So you have undone my editing about shiatsu because according to you EXACTLY THE SAME SOURCE is not neutral about what I have added but not what someone else has extracted. More biased must be difficult to be. So please inform me how to get mediation ASAP since you are so quick at deleting changes I don't believe you have even looked at. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shiatsushi (talk • contribs) 23:11, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I did read your changes before reverting them. Please assume good faith from the other editors. If you disagree with the revert, this fine obviously, in that case I suggest you read this page to reach consensus. And if you think that you need to resolve a dispute then you can go there.--McSly (talk) 23:17, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

Cameroon IP vandal is back...

• User talk:McSly#IP hopping monkeys
• M, they're back on other military equipment pages again, I'm thinking of how to stop this nonsense once and for all... maybe a range block? Thoughts? --Dave 23:58, 8 April 2012 (UTC)

please don't butt in

I have Kelastick's permission to make changes to his user page. He only asks that I update the counter. Every time I do something, I fix it within seconds. Auchansa (talk) 03:41, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Or even better, don't do it at all as this will be considered vandalism.--McSly (talk) 03:43, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I have his permission. I asked him about it to make sure it was not vandalism. I got his ok. So the uninformed person who does not know jumps into conclusion. If I did that to your user page, I agree, that is vandalism. Kelastick is my Misplaced Pages friend. Auchansa (talk) 03:45, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

What I just said still stands. Do not modify other editor's user page. That's the easiest way to proceed. --McSly (talk) 03:48, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

If there is a Misplaced Pages rule that says it is forbidden even if someone has permission, please educate me with the citation. Thank you. Auchansa (talk) 03:52, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Could you provide proof that you have permission? what you have been doing is indistinguishable from vandalism. If it was not, then I apologize. but like i said, the best option is not to do it. --McSly (talk) 03:58, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

massive edits by you

You are doing a massive number of edits very quickly. This doesn't allow you to discuss or ponder. For example, with Adele, I discussed and then, as a sample, made the changes but you are so quick that you are removing the sample before even one person sees it.

My rationale is the Adele started using her stage name, 'Adele', in 2006. Before that, she was known as Adkins. Auchansa (talk) 03:43, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Template:Ford vehicles

Hi, thanks for message about deleting my "FORD template" edit. Now I'm loged in already. I'm not so experienced editor of Misplaced Pages, but the table I tried to delete is there twice on the page. I would delete whole the table, but didn't know how. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Křemílek (talk • contribs) 02:33, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I can try. Could you tell me what line or word is duplicated? Thanks. --McSly (talk) 02:39, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Misplaced Pages, as you did at École nationale de l'aviation civile. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted or removed. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. 90.84.146.194 (talk) 04:47, 7 May 2012 (UTC)
