Disambiguation link notification for March 16

Hi. When you recently edited Bill Le Page, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Charitable (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

WP:OS

I noticed the unintentional "outing" and if I wasn't so busy today I would have asked one of the oversighter team arbitrators to do it for you. Please go into the edit history of the page in question, find the edit difference containing the outing, copy its URL and then contact one of the oversight team here WP:OS (section Oversighters, top group), refer to the edit diff and ask him to clear it for you. Cheers. Hoverfish Talk 01:59, 23 March 2012 (UTC) OK thanks will do it later tonight --HumusTheCowboy (talk) 02:26, 23 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Humus

I recently looked at AA site and all my talk with you seems deleted. I can't even pull up by 'BabaisLove' stuff. You seem to have modified, edited and censored much of the talk suggestions I sent you, so that even what I suggested isn't complete! I also see you are adding various refs to support your angle, but I can't see how you jump to some of your conclusions from those refs (I know and have read every document you have quoted here - and much more). Finally, I had thought we agreed the whole point of an AA article was to say (for Baba's sake) something positive and uplifting about His place for the numerous outsiders who read this instead of dwelling on our human error? What will they think of Baba if they read all this? Is the Abode only the sum of our mistakes - nothing more? I had prepared a fully referenced article for you to look at but I see no point, as I don't see any openness or willness to work together here. Good luck and goodbye. RayCK 22:44, 6 April 2012 (UTC)

@ re openness and willingness, its takes two to do this, but you have been absent from AA talk since the 24th March. BTW I moved this post of yours to the bottom. New posts are always last on the page, like reading. I have not modified any talk page on Avatars Abode. Please dont make accusations without checking first if they are true. Check the history on the talk page please. Misplaced Pages takes some learning, but assume good faith first is the rule. I dont know what you mean by 'I can't even pull up by 'BabaisLove' stuff.' what do you mean? What stuff? I think you are confused with the long posts on your own talk page. Anyway the place for this talk is on the AA talk page. I will reply there BTW sign off with signature icon HumusTheCowboy (talk) 02:27, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Parkinson's science learning project in Wikiversity

Hi. I'd like to bring your attention to a new learning project in Wikiversity. As you have been involved with the discussion on the wikipedia Parkinson's disease page I felt you might be interested in looking at the project and perhaps even contributing material to it. Please see my Talk page, http://en.wikiversity.org/User_talk:Droflet#The_Science_Behind_Parkinson.27s_learning_project , the subpage, http://en.wikiversity.org/User_talk:Droflet/ProjectDescription or the project itself , http://en.wikiversity.org/Portal:The_Science_Behind_Parkinson%27s . It would be great if you could bring the project to the attention of others who might be interested in helping us develop it. Thanks.

Armstrong

Have a read of a couple of my articles, like this http://www.cyclismas.com/2012/06/lance-armstrongs-business-links-a-flowchart-by-dimspace/ which is the most in depth evidence of LA's corruption you will find. Or this http://www.cyclismas.com/2012/07/the-legend-of-the-500/ which was widely accepted as totally dispelling the "tested 500 times" argument and became even more accepted following the UCI's admission that they tested armstrong 215 times. I am far from an Armstrong apologist, totally the opposite. Ive been one of the voices fighting against him for the last 7-8 years. Hell, ive even been personally abused by his team. That said, im impartial on wiki, and for the armstrong article to be accurate some pretty serious changes have to be made to create a balanced article that gives a total impression of the person. That may take a few months, and may involved taking a step or two backwards to start with before we get to the end. Dimspace (talk) 23:45, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for that. Good to know. I dislike cheats, but the scale of his offending when coupled with the hero thing is ground breaking. Lets nail him impartially Blade-of-the-South (talk) 23:56, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

No problem. Its amusing to get called an apologist on wikipedia when in other areas im viewed as one of the biggest fighters against him. Have a good read of the business links pdf, it will give you an idea of how he controlled US cycling, filtered money out of livestrong for himself et. When all said and done on wikipedia I want accuracy, and i have the advantage of knowing an incredible amount about armstrongs career, good and bad. In the end an article that starts of critically, does not have nearly as much impact as an article that says he did this, he did this, oh and by the way, it was all a lie. But above all it needs to be accurate, readable and well presented, or people simply wont read it. If you have twitter, you will find me there. Dimspace (talk) 00:05, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Sign of the times (sighs) Tell you what, when you're ready, insert data and I will back you up Blade-of-the-South (talk) 07:04, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 15

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alexander Thom, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Christopher Knight (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

World War Z. Jewish Zionist? Influence

Please re-read the talk page for the article. I never made such a claim, that was a bot autosigned comment by user:Leroy.heronn. I only made a comment about WP:OR, as you made unsourced claims and asked for comment. Interestingly enough, said user seems to no longer exist. BTW, thanks for the later addition of source information for your claim. From the brief look at a couple of articles, the claim is speculation. It could as easily be that the author was making a political commentary in the form of an elaborate barb, I'll have to read the rest once this task intensive video conversion is over.Wzrd1 (talk) 00:58, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

can you please remove "mafia state" from the putin article, meybe it will be a beginning to a serious discussion 83.180.195.202 (talk) 16:55, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

I will. Im wondering if you think I put it there? I didnt and am working slowly on riding the US POV, but getting resistance. Blade-of-the-South (talk) 23:42, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

A Home-made Barnstar for you

		Home-Made Barnstar
		After following your latest efforts in the Syria conflict related articles, I wish to award you this Home-Made Barnstar for editing in difficult areas, for "thinking outside the box" and for doing it well IMHO. Hoverfish Talk 11:16, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

Syrian civil war sanctions notice

As a result of a community discussion, long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Syrian civil war, broadly construed, have been acknowledged. The community has therefore enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.

• Any uninvolved administrator may, at his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
• The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length, bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict, bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics, restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
• Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor shall be given a warning with a link to this decision and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
• Sanctions imposed may be appealed to the imposing administrator or at the appropriate administrators' noticeboard.

These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the decision. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.

Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.

This notice is effective only if given by an uninvolved administrator and logged here.--Bbb23 (talk) 04:05, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Bbb23 Dude the link to the so called badness here here is another editors post made here onto this talk page. Not editing at the Syrian page at all. I cant see anything worng. What are you doing to this user Blade? Im a non involved editor as well and Im requesting you remove this Valkyrie 06 (talk) 04:45, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I don't understand why you're concerned with this, but the warning is a result of the user's recent editing at Ghouta chemical attacks‎, and please don't call me "dude".--Bbb23 (talk) 05:00, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Curious. Why are you allowed to be concerned Bbb23 and Valkyrie 06 not? Odd. Funny that my recent editing you didnt like involved removal of a citation required tag and adjusting the phrase to fit the ref. Hardly controversial. I noticed you here are here quite often. How uninvolved are you?

Please fix up the tag showing what you think I did wrong so when I get it escalated they know what your issue was. Currently you have the user Hoverfish here ] instead of me making the bad edit. Blade-of-the-South (talk) 05:31, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Bbb23 scratch the last. I actually forgot about the one revert rule on the article plus I have an awful habit of spell checking after the 'save page', then saving again. This time I must have reverted some text as well. Blade-of-the-South (talk) 08:39, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

WP:1RR is one of the most important things to remember when editing articles subject to sanctions. In addition to the talk page notice, which was already there, I've added an editnotice so that every time you edit the article it warns you. Also, bear in mind that two or more consecutive edits (no intervening edits) counts as one revert. So if you write "The world is rond", save it, and then correct the word "round" and save it. As long as no one else edited in between, it would be only one revert. If by chance someone actually got in an edit before your correction, as long as the only thing you did was corrected the spelling of a word that you had just put in, I can't imagine an administrator counting that edit as a second revert.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:23, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Try not to lock yourself out, Blade. What Bbb23 stated above is quite all right and good to know. Hoverfish Talk 12:12, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

Good edits

Despite our disagreements, I liked some of the edits you made on Ghouta chemical attacks to remove badly cited anti-Syria statements. I think you'll find that a much more efficient use of your time than adding badly cited pro-Syria statements.

Rebel fatalities in Ghouta

What are you talking about? I don't understand. Please explain. What information in the article? I sourced the info, I provided sources for both figures. Everything is properly referenced. Please discuss before reverting again. The info on the rebels had been in the lead for the past four months until a user started removing it recently. For the sake of compromise with you I even shortened the info and made it only as a short extention (of five words) of an already established sentence. EkoGraf (talk) 20:10, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi the lede or lead is not the place to put material in that isnt covered in the body. Its like a school or Uni essay, the lead is a summary of the body. Thats how it rolls. Blade-of-the-South talk 02:57, 24 October 2013 (UTC)

Blade, rather than reverting why not just add the statement to the body of the article if it is a concern for you? Also, this edit broke the 1RR. I think this was unintentional on your part but please self-revert ASAP to avoid a possible block. VQuakr (talk) 03:14, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi I dont have time to go into fixing anothers edits right now. BTW I did this revert at 00:05, 25 October 2013‎ and its the only one today, yesterday I did one contiguous edit, thks for the heads up though. Blade-of-the-South talk 03:49, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

In my opinion, if you have time to revert this three times over what amounts to a technicality, you have time to fix it. Revert rules are per rolling 24 hour period, not per UTC (or whatever time zone) day. They are also the bright-line maximum number of reverts, not an entitlement to edit war. I posted the diffs of your violation to Bbb23's talk page. VQuakr (talk) 04:07, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

VQuack dont even try to manage my time. Its none of yr business. Dont go there again. Back right off. I dont respect your editing because you are biased, but you know the rules. Big deal. Rules can be learnt, but the spirit u edit with is small because u dont even know yr biased and that taints u. sad really. anyway u wont win because yr pov is failing like the syrian false flag and the usa. Bankrupt. Crumbling. Crime ridden. Relevant? I think so Blade-of-the-South talk 10:59, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
