Hello, Tobby! Good morning! Or at least, I hope it's morning where you live! Anyway, the article Brazil is blocked due to a dispute over a content. I would like to know if you would be interested in giving your opinion to end it once and for all. In case you do not know much about the subject, I could explain it better to you. This is the link. All help is needed. Thank your very much and kind regards, --Lecen (talk) 11:38, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Lousiana: 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. Hi, thanks to add warnings on the vandal's Talk page whenever you revert, that normally helps to track the number of vandalous edits before ARV. Regards, kashmiri 14:07, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

	Thank you for adding images to the Mexican Drug War article. It looks a lot better now! ComputerJA (talk) 02:23, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

You must stop damaging the article about a country as wonderful as Colombia with these images.

The article about Colombia is in the process of a best editing, this article is being improved gradually by true connoisseurs about Colombia, for example more than 70% of Colombians has never seen a guerrilla fighter in his life. The Colombian do not want the image of a criminal like Pablo Escobar appears in the article about the country.

If you want to see images of a criminal like Pablo Escobar and the murderous guerrilla you can search these images on the web. --Theryx7 (talk) 05:48, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

I have edited this article for months with the help of true connoisseurs of the country, although the article needs several improvements, but now you're ruining all the hours of work on this article. Please do not destroy the work of many people who have been improving the article about Colombia. --Theryx7 (talk) 05:48, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

If again you add these images surely I and my group of collaborators will return to remove these images. Please I don't want an edit war. --Theryx7 (talk) 09:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

"at any rate, their religious creed and practices as worshipers of Kālī, the Hindu goddess of destruction, showed no influence of Islām." is obvious copy paste from britannica.

World War II

Hi Toby, I've just reverted your addition of several extra images to this article. The article already has lots of images and looks a bit over-crowded in my opinion, and it's customary to discuss significant changes such as this on the talk page first given the high profile of the article. I'd suggest that while there's scope to swap some new images in, increasing the total number at this point probably isn't justified. But other editors might have different views from me! I hope that this is OK. Regards, Nick-D (talk) 01:14, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Recent edits regarding Poles/Slavs

Hey, I've noticed you are editing a few articles and making several new sections in talk pages regarding Nazis and Slavs. The reason a lot of your edits are being reverted is because they are already covered in the article or are not necessary to add into an article.

For example:

"The Nazis because of this declared Slavs to be untermenschen (subhumans)." is what is in the article but you wanted to edit "The Nazi ideology defined ethnic Poles as "sub-humans"." when Poles are Slavs and this is already mentioned in the article.

I do apologise for removing all of your edit regarding the role of sex and gender and have added it back in but tweaked it more accurately whilst using the source you did use.

This is nothing personal against you mate but we both are trying to achieve accurate reliable Misplaced Pages articles and overlapping stuff is not the way to go about it. If you want to discuss Nazis/Slavs discussion then we can on the relative talk pages. Once again, I have nothing against you. :)!--Windows66 (talk) 12:07, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

On ROsinsky image, Impalement...

Believe me, I've searched all Internet to find some verification that this is an actual story from the 20th century (as main editor, I've been extremely restictive on adding 20th-21th century material), but I haven't found a single source of any "Captain Rosinsky". That's why I've previously deleted the image, but I won't get into an edit war with you, but I would be EXTREMELY grateful if you find an additional source which enhances the probability of it being real from being just, for example, a fake image, or a still photo from a movie. I know your edit is in good faith, but in contrast of MOST stories on Impalement, that of Captain Rosinsky has precious few additional verifications to it.Arildnordby (talk) 22:08, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

To make my point specific: You are not the only editor wanting this image within Impalement, just the most recent. I have RESIGNED from deleting it, I'm not going to remove it, but YET, I will be grateful if you can find some independent evidence about it depicting a REAL event.Arildnordby (talk) 22:29, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

WW II

Hello, if you have time please take a look at my edit from 09:54, 9 February 2014‎. I added a short paragraph on Nazi atrocities during the German Invasion, and added a picture of a civilian execution in the USSR invasion section. This edit was quickly reverted and labeled "Edit Warring". I was also asked to proved references… and when I agreed to do so, Nick-D dropped a label of "undue weight". I hate to say this, but I have a feeling the admin is trying to restrict some of this info being published on the page. Please advise. --Factor01 (talk) 11:29, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

About recent contributions

Greetings,
Thank you for your recent contributions on topics related to Egypt's foreign relations. However, many of the add info edits have been a clear misrepresentation of sources. Egypt didn't support anyone in the latest Gaza conflict, and this, along with the fact that it helped broker a ceasefire more than once should also be taken into consideration. Most of the sources (even the one you used) say or suggest that Egypt is "indifferent" towards Gaza because the government opposes Hamas, and I fail to see how that can be translated into support for Israel; otherwise this would be considered original research. You might want to take a look at this interesting article about Sisi's regional foreign policy from Libya to Syria and Iraq, which explains very well the Egyptian government's stance on Gaza. Egypt is no different in this regard than Mahmoud Abbas and many other Arab leaders who also oppose the Hamas government in Gaza. For example, please read the Guardian article that you used carefully, and you will notice that its whole context has nothing to do with the title, "Egypt’s decision to side with Israel has cost Gaza dear". It doesn't prove anything about any Egyptian support for Israel, even if Egypt's position was slightly in favour of Israel's interests. Furthermore, this Haaretz article requires subscription, which you used to justify the sentence: In response to the 2014 Israel–Gaza conflict and Egyptian support for Israel,(ref) Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan called Egyptian President el-Sisi an "illegitimate tyrant". Firstly, this is not only highly controversial, but also WP:UNDUE in an article about a country (like some of the other stuff you added), and is only relevant in Sisi's article. Second, as far as I can see, the source hardly reveals anything explicit about any "Egyptian support for Israel"; neither does this one (synthesis?). And even if, we must only take into account what the majority of the sources say. The destruction of the tunnels is merely related to Egypt's current insurgency and crackdown on Islamist militants in the country. Nothing else. Regards, Fitzcarmalan (talk) 21:09, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Hi Fitzcarmalan. Take a look at this articles about Egypt's regional foreign policy.

• Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia are seen as supporting Israel's crackdown on Hamas

• Most Arab states are actively supporting Israel against the Palestinians -- and not even shy about it or doing it discreetly.

• Some pro-government Egyptian talk shows broadcast in Gaza “are saying the Egyptian Army should help the Israeli Army get rid of Hamas,”

Tobby72 (talk) 07:22, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Hello again, Tobby. I am unfortunately getting the distinct sense that you haven't considered any of my concerns, so I will try to clarify a few things. Egypt is not an ally of Israel and nothing in these sources say that relations have "improved significantly". The 2014 conflict just ended two months ago and there is nothing particularly revealing about it yet regarding Egypt's policy on Gaza. Once again, the Egyptian government might have been satisfied with Israel's attacks on Hamas, but being anti-Hamas is by no means a synonym of anti-Palestine, and is certainly not being pro-Israel. This is very likely original research and these are just opinion pieces (not that reliable either). Plus, why did you specifically cherrypick this aspect of Egypt's stance in particular and ignored others? During the war, the Egyptian government opened the Rafah border crossing to treat wounded Palestinians, sent 500 tons of aid to Gaza during the conflict and condemned Israel's offensive numerous times. Why can't we also mention that relations have improved under Mohamed Morsi's presidency?

• Morsi’s warm letter to (Shimon) Peres sparks anger and denial in Egypt → "Great and good friend," Morsi wrote in the letter to his Israeli counterpart, "being desirous of maintaining and strengthening the cordial relations which so happily exist between our two countries, I have selected Mr. Atef Mohamed Salem Sayed El Ahl to be our ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary." The letter was initially denied by a Muslim Brotherhood official as a fabrication by the Times of Israel (see the article), but was later confirmed by Morsi's spokesman, and a senior Muslim Brotherhood figure has resigned from his post to protest this letter.

Now back to the sources you gave me. The France 24 one talks about Egyptian media presenters and columnists (irrelevant), and most of them usually do so because Hamas is an ally of the Muslim Brotherhood and because some of them also believe that Hamas was created by Israel to rupture the predominantly secular Palestinian resistance. The article's accuracy is also questionable, because very few in Egypt would take the risk of praising Israel and its leaders, and those who do are an extreme minority because they can be easily labelled as traitors. There were some Egyptian television hosts criticizing Hamas during Morsi's 1-year tenure as well, so there is nothing strange about anti-Hamas sentiment in the Egyptian media. If you also read the article to the end, you will see that general distrust of Palestinians was always common among Egyptians, even before the 2011 revolution. The second and third sources only talk about mutual interests. The only phrase that would attract the readers' attention in the beginning of the NYT article by David Kirkpatrick is: After the military ouster of the Islamist government in Cairo last year, Egypt has led a new coalition of Arab states — including Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates — that has effectively lined up with Israel in its fight against Hamas, the Islamist movement that controls the Gaza Strip. But can you tell me what does "lined up" mean in the English language? Does it mean support or backing? Hardly, it merely means finding a common enemy with someone. Also, the rest of this article and the CNN one only reflect Egypt's conflict with Hamas and they rely mostly on opinion pieces. This has nothing to do with your original point → relations between Egypt and Israel have improved significantly following the coup. Once again, this is an article about an important regional country, where Sisi and Morsi were just two of its leaders who don't reveal anything historic yet about Egypt's regional agenda. Each aspect of foreign relations should be mentioned as briefly as possible, and unnecessary inclusions (especially controversial ones like this one) should be kept aside so that they don't give extra weight to insignificant and minority viewpoints.

It has been repeatedly discussed on the talk page here & here & here & here & here & here & here & here, and obviously no consensus was reached. By the way, did you read other editors' comments?

Opportunity to self revert

In this revert , in addition to all kinds of other problems (the usual POV pushing, removal of well sourced material, undoing of non-controversial improvements in style and grammar) you are also restoring links to an anti-semitic fringe conspiracy website, which may contain links to malware. Do you really think this is a reliable source for Misplaced Pages?

I would appreciate it if you self reverted your revert.Volunteer Marek (talk) 09:56, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

As you well know the issue of the polls was thoroughly discussed and the WP:CONSENSUS was strongly against including these polls for a variety of reasons.Volunteer Marek (talk) 12:33, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Mentioned

You've been mentioned at User talk:EdJohnston#Haberstr, again (and Tobby72). User:Volunteer Marek has complained about your edits at 2014 Ukrainian revolution. Though I haven't looked into this report yet, the time may be approaching to consider sanctions of some parties under WP:ARBEE. You can respond to the complaint if you wish. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 14:59, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

May 2015

You appear to be engaged in edit wars with other editors repeatedly inserting controversial propaganda-type material in the articles on War in Donbass, Crimean status referendum, 2014, Republic of Crimea, and Humanitarian situation during the war in Donbass. Although repeatedly reverting or undoing another editor's contributions may seem necessary to protect your preferred version of a page, on Misplaced Pages this is usually seen as obstructing the normal editing process, and often creates animosity between editors. Instead of edit warring, please discuss the situation with the editor(s) involved and try to reach a consensus on the article talk pages. I have noticed that you are not doing this.

If editors continue to revert to their preferred version they are likely to lose editing privileges. This isn't done to punish an editor, but to prevent the disruption caused by edit warring. In particular, editors should be aware of the three-revert rule, which says that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Edit warring on Misplaced Pages is not acceptable in any amount, and violating the three-revert rule is very likely to lead to a loss of editing privileges. Thank you.-- Toddy1 (talk) 16:03, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Volunteer Marek & RGloucester & Toddy1 repeatedly removed well sourced material: here, here, here, here, here,here, and here. Period. You obviously lack a true understanding of WP:RS & WP:NPOV. -- Tobby72 (talk) 17:15, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in Talk:Republic of Crimea#Public opinion poll, 16–22 January 2015 after receiving my message of 16:03.-- Toddy1 (talk) 19:14, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

Feel free to add more evidence. Also a lot of articles about Nazi atrocities were distorted again. --MyMoloboaccount (talk) 19:32, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Seriously, how dare you keep slandering my name and making false allegations against me! Where have I ever distorted any articles about Nazi atrocities? You clearly have an agenda by constantly personally attacking me simply because I've reverted some of your edit which a previous sockpuppet has done before. I've never once distorted any Nazi atrocities and have contributed in articles such as the Holocaust, Racial policy of Nazi Germany and many others that deal with Nazi atrocities.--Hashi0707 (talk) 22:22, 1 June 2015 (UTC)

Italy irregular migration figure

Hi. I saw that you added statistics about the number of irregular migrants arriving in Italy by sea in 2014 to the African immigration to Europe article. Do you remember where you got the 141,484 figure for departures from Libya? I can't see that exact figure in the source you cited. Cordless Larry (talk) 07:43, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi. My source says "Ogni volta che si parla di sbarchi ci vengono in supporto i dati Ismu (see Sbarchi al 2 marzo 2015 / Table No. 3) elaborati su dati del Ministero dell'Interno (si clicchi su "Sbarchi 2014). Guardando al Paese di partenza dei natanti si evince che su circa 170 mila sbarchi, circa 141 mila (83,2% del totale) sono partiti dalle coste libiche." -- Tobby72 (talk) 09:24, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I saw that, but I wondered how you got from "circa 141 mila" to 141,484. Cordless Larry (talk) 14:33, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Tobby72. Any idea where the exact figure came from? If not, I'll just replace it with "around 141,000". Cordless Larry (talk) 13:10, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, exact figure came from: http://www.ismu.org/irregolari-presenze/ Excel table Sbarchi al 2 marzo 2015 -- Tobby72 (talk) 13:50, 21 June 2015 (UTC)

==Y Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Pomors, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chukotka (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.

Donbass is covered by discretionary sanctions under WP:ARBEE

Please carefully read this information:

The Arbitration Committee has authorised discretionary sanctions to be used for pages regarding Eastern Europe, a topic which you have edited. The Committee's decision is here.

Template:Z33 My very best wishes (talk) 14:05, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for the warning. I'm afraid that your recent edits are possibly violating several Misplaced Pages guidelines and policies, e.g. Tendentious editing, WP:NPOV, WP: RS. -- Tobby72 (talk) 14:51, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

I do not think so. If you really believe that someone violates policy in this subject area, please report him/her to WP:AE. My very best wishes (talk) 18:42, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on War in Donbass. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Misplaced Pages's policy on edit warring states:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing.

Slow motion edit warring is still edit warring.Volunteer Marek (talk) 19:33, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, well, isn't that the Pot Calling the Kettle Black?

Please stop using dishonest WP:ES

Your behaviour is not acceptable. What does this edit summary have to do with the content you inserted? The only discussions taking place on the War in Donbass surrounds casualty figures and Right Sector and RNU inclusion in the infobox. The content you inserted had already been deemed as being WP:UNDUE. Your POV-pushing using duplicitous edit summaries has been noted time and time again in multiple articles. Enough of trying to game the system, please. We all get frustrated over getting embroiled in the process of consensus building, as well as whether we feel consensus has been arrived at in a fair manner, but under no circumstances does that excuse resorting to dishonest editing practices (read as 'lying').

Yes, the content you added after POV pushing this content, then again here, and then again here (without actually pointing out every diff where you'd reinserted it before and between) was discussed here... so why have you jumped in with reiterating content last discussed on 21 August on 5 September while the talk page discussion has moved forward dramatically parsing other issues? "... see talk"? Really? Which talk? Where? When? --Iryna Harpy (talk) 03:47, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

The content you inserted had already been deemed as being WP:UNDUE. — Are you sure? - . So I ask again... please explain how my additions specifically violate Misplaced Pages policies on neutrality.

We report what reliable sources say. See Talk:War in Donbass — POV deletion of cited text (22:57, 30 August 2015) and Talk:War in Donbass — Islamic Battalions – WP:RS (09:59, 5 September 2015). -- Tobby72 (talk) 10:06, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

I am absolutely certain. One editor, agreed to a redacted form of the content and no one else did. In the meantime, you sat back for a couple of weeks before reinserting it. Take it to the article's talk page. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 10:34, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

You have probably missed this one : Talk:War in Donbass — Islamic Battalions – WP:RS and this Talk:War in Donbass — POV deletion of cited text -- Tobby72 (talk) 11:07, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

I honestly think that we should move the discussion back to the article's talk page. There have been several issues tackled simultaneously, and I saw no consensus for the inclusion of the content. Discussions have been moving back and forth and carried over into sections not dealing with the content at issue... The article has been locked down and we're not going to form consensus one way or the other from your talk page. --Iryna Harpy (talk) 22:58, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Celik a GW?!

Hi Tobby72,
I've noticed your edit:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=2015_Russian_Sukhoi_Su-24_shootdown&diff=prev&oldid=697709066

I've tried - several times - to write Celik is a GW: https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:2015_Russian_Sukhoi_Su-24_shootdown/Archive_2#Grey_Wolves.2C_sources_in_English

It was constantly erased. I do not realy understand why, i know Misplaced Pages has too many nationalist POV-pushers, but this is really disgusting. I had several kafkaesque moments there ;-) We will see when my last addition will be reverted. Thanks for your help.--79.223.6.216 (talk) 17:42, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Personal attacks on Crimea talk page

To: Iryna Harpy

Cc: Tobby72, Haberstr, Moscow Connection

Iryna, your recent posting on Talk:Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation contains personal attacks on WP users Tobby72, Haberstr, and Moscow Connection. You accused these WP users of "POV pushing", "disruptive editing", and presenting arguments with "no good faith".

Misplaced Pages article talk pages are for constructive discussion of article content, not for accusations against individuals. Are you trying to discourage comments about content from people whose views differ from your own? If you are not trying to discourage comments, please make this clear as soon as possible, by withdrawing the personal attacks you have made. Kalidasa 777 (talk) 12:55, 23 March 2016 (UTC)
