Disambiguation link notification for August 11

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Management of depression, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Disorder (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.

Hi

I saw your work on an article on the front page and also saw your name. Like my name, it makes a statement. You are not Dave. I am opposed to terrorism. That doesn't mean that we are the same person. I know that goes against Misplaced Pages logic!

Oh, I'm not Dave, either. I hope you are opposed to terrorism.

Sandra opposed to terrorism (talk) 21:13, 22 August 2015 (UTC)

I am indeed. Hi. not (talk/contribs) 06:38, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Reference names

Please do not change reference names without good reason. Using the actual BBC page number makes it easier to keep track of which page is being quoted when further references from that source are added later, usually as a result of the BBC updating the page. It also makes it easier to use multiple references from the same source. Far better that BBC1, BBC2, BBC3 etc etc. Changing the reference name also creates broken references when the original author adds further info and uses the original reference name that they gave the reference in the first place. Mjroots (talk) 19:52, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

A WP:BOLD edit based upon what I thought was good for things, but I guess your system has some advantages, I was thinking that too many numbers meant that the ref name was a little tricky to remember but with copy and paste it is a little irrelevant, so go ahead and revert if you want. not (talk/contribs) 19:55, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

I'm going to leave it for now. Will rename refs once things settle down a bit. Take a look at reference format at MS Riverdance and List of shipwrecks in 2014. You'll see why I adopted the system in the latter article. BTW, C&P is a great tool. Mjroots (talk) 20:05, 23 August 2015 (UTC)

Notice

I have granted the "file mover" permission to your account following either a request for those rights or a clear need for the ability to move files. For information on the file mover rights and under what circumstances it is okay to move files, see Misplaced Pages:File mover. When you move a file please ensure that you change the links to the file to the new name. If you do not want file mover rights anymore, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks.

Restoring talk page content

Editors are free to remove any content from their user talk page, so long as it's removed wholesale. You shouldn't revert such removals. (If anything, it's a useful sign that the editor has read the warning.) --McGeddon (talk) 20:48, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Request Pending Accepting

I want this page Astro_(television) as pending accepting for every edit.

Disambiguation link notification for September 2

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ebbets Field Flannels, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page San Francisco Seals (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Request on 02:20:23, 4 September 2015 for assistance on AfC submission by Dineshkumar Ponnusamy

• Dineshkumar Ponnusamy (talk · contribs)
  • Draft:Palam Kalyanasundaram (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

Hi, Thanks for reviewing the article Draft:Palam Kalyanasundaram. I wonder why the reason is quoted from old requests. As a reply to the questions doubting it as hoax, I added enough references (not just a single link). I have removed lot of poor quality resources though there are many articles about the person. I would like to know the reason why it is not accepted this time. Thanks. --Dineshkumar Ponnusamy (talk) 02:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Dineshkumar Ponnusamy (talk) 02:20, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

• @Dineshkumar Ponnusamy: Nothing has fundamentally changed since it was decided to delete this article. Many attempted drafts on this subject have already been deleted. For example, 'Man of the Millenium' is not a notable award - despite the claims made on social media which are being reprinted in some newspaper articles - there is no genuine evidence of notability here. --ℕ ℱ 17:15, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Regarding Comment on Draft: Ebenezer Sunder Singh

Hello Not Dave. Thanks for the comment. As per your advice, the section headings are now in sentence case. Please let me know if any further edits are necessary. Thanks! KarenEby2018 (talk) 20:00, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello again. Slightly new to this, but thank you so much for accepting the article! Can you direct me to talk pages or other avenues on Misplaced Pages that could advise me on cleanup problems? I hope it can soon reach good article standards. Thanks again! KarenEby2018 (talk) 20:12, 5 September 2015 (UTC)

Holiday in the Protectorate

My name really is Dave. In the edit and in the sandbox all 19 references showed correctly! Why did they get deleted when I copied the file over to publish? Getthefatcsjones (talk) 16:18, 11 September 2015 (UTC)getthefatcsjones

@Getthefatcsjones: Did you not go into edit mode and copy it from there, or did you copy and paste them in reading mode? I would, however, consider rewriting some of what you have written in your sandbox. I understand that English may not be your first language and I wish not to offend, but it doesn't read very well, some things are in places where they shouldn't be (for example note the part where you have written " and 400,000 were used as slave labour Also the series was designed to be thought provoking." -- the last part of that quote should ultimately go at the start of the section, as a summary of what the program was designed to be, then describe the program in detail). If you want any help with improving this, don't be afraid to. The Simplified Manual of Style along with its full version should help too. Thanks, not (talk/contribs) 16:34, 11 September 2015 (UTC)

Page edits

Hello,

Thanks for your message. Apologies for making my edit in the wrong section. Which section should Ray's head circumference go into? Looking forward to hearing from you. Dalstonfacts (talk) 12:39, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

@Dalstonfacts: Unfortunately, I don't really believe that should really go anywhere -- for me and for other editors, such information seems quite trivial and it's also unsourced. Thanks, not (talk/contribs) 13:37, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

Google searching

I noticed your comment at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Faizal Ismail same old first page flood of social media networks in a Google search. No offence intended, but specific searches on Google often get rid of that dreck. After refining my search, I ended up with the search:

• "Faizal Ismail" "hot fm" OR FBI -jockey -"Muhammad Faizal Ismail" -"Muhamad Faizal Ismail" -wikipedia

which seemed to work quite well. A similar version:

• "Faizal Ismail" "hot fm" OR FBI -jockey -magistrate -wikipedia

works, but not as well still yielding only one decent hit on the first page of Google search. It seems that the specific works better than the general. I also sometimes append a "-youtube" to my search if I am getting too many of them (as with a musical band), but due to their ubiquity it is seldom useful to exclude expressly facebook or twitter.

I have an edge, my searching techniques come from teaching information retrival back in the 1980s. I miss good proximity searching. Google's AROUND operator does not work well or maybe at all at this point. Bing has a proximity operator NEAR that works somewhat, but for other reasons I don't use Bing. In general see "Beyond Basic Boolean". --Bejnar (talk) 16:41, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

The revert on Deaths in 2015

Hi. Sorry, I meant to write a reason, but it seems it got away somehow. The Deaths in 2015 page uses simple references. It's just the way it has been decided, long before I started writing there. Ask someone on the talk page for that page for reasons, I'm just a foot soldier. If I hadn't removed your update, someone else would have done it pretty soon. Didn't mean to be rude, sorry about that :/ Nukualofa (talk) 18:49, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

@Nukualofa: Taking a look at this thread, I seem to understand now. The negatives outweigh the benefits. Thanks, not (talk/contribs) 18:53, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hi, have a look at Talk:Borders Railway and Talk:Waverley Route for the bandwidths of (re-)actions of one of our fellow editors. Regards -- KlausFoehl (talk) 13:45, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:VaDawn/sandbox

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:VaDawn/sandbox requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://ijkm.nl/Louis_Fles. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

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. For the Election committee, MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 17:00, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

@Mdann52: Since I've just seen your name, I'm not sure what responsibility you have over this, but I've already voted, so I shouldn't really need to see this message. Is there a mechanism to stop persons who have previously voted from having these messages from being delivered? not (talk/contribs) 17:40, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Unfortunately not, no, short of me constantly going over the list to ensure no one has voted (which would still not work, as I may well have queued this before you had anyway...) Mdann52 (talk) 18:21, 24 November 2015 (UTC)

Signature

Hi, I just voted below you in the RFA RFC. I use this syntax highlighter, and your signature caused it to highlight everything below your signature, making the highlighting useless. Could you please switch the closing sup and font tags around "name"? The highlighter expects html tags to be closed in the reverse order they are opened.

A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar

Hi, This is reference to the WIki thread topic 'List of tallest buildings in Kolkata'. The list contains exhaustive content regarding all the tallest towers. However they have all been removed, even those sections which had been there since the inception of this article. I wonder why no action was taken then and even its difficult to find details of few buildings. However I am still trying to retrieve all as its a huge task. Now the list is left wtih only 6 buildigns looking very shabby and I have been accused of vandalism which is false. I request you to please look into the matter and restore the earlier edit and I will try to attach relevant web links. I am not used to IT language and hence do not understand JAVA or how to use syntax but I am learning however there has been no attempt of vandalism as you correctly pointed out which Serols is repeatedly reverting the changes. Wonder what was he doing for so many years? Wonderbank (talk) 04:49, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

• @Wonderbank: -- Please hurry with your edits however, as they are being reverted because you are unfortunately being too slow in adding sources. If you can't do that, compile the sources somewhere in your user area and add them to the table in one shot. Otherwise you will find people such as Yamaguchi先生 reverting them again -- as the edit summary suggests here, it's not being punitive, we're just waiting for you. Thanks, not (talk/contribs) 13:46, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your message, and civility

Hello My name is not dave, I have a question regarding your message. I left a comment on a talk page, which you have deleted for a perceived lack of civility. I can defend the position I made in that comment, and I wasn't sure how to phrase it with any more civility than I had originally written it. The edits I referred to in the comments, made by a user who supports fascism, sound more like a call to support national syndicalism than they sound like neutral information regarding it. How would you suggest I state this in a talk page? Chaelhen (talk) 22:00, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello Chaelhen, apologies for my hastiness in removing your comment. After actually looking at the situation, indeed there are uncited, POV edits added by the user, of which I have now removed. Now that I actually have some context, your comment couldn't have been put in a way any nicer. I apologise for my prejudices. not (talk/contribs) 22:09, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

That's quite alright! Happy to have brought it to the attention of someone who knows how to handle this! Chaelhen (talk) 22:12, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

Real self

Do you want to clarify your position at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Real self as now my concerns regarding tying up Horney & true self and false self have been met and both Chris Howard and myself are in favour of a redirect to true self and false self ? --Penbat (talk) 17:36, 17 February 2016 (UTC)

Reviewing Ozark Actors Theatre

Hi, My name is not dave! Thank you for reviewing my new page, Ozark Actors Theatre! I appreciate your edits and help. I was wondering if you would accept my unreviewed article Lisa Christine Holmberg. Feel free to edit too. Thanks! WikiConqueror (talk) 10:03, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

My name is not dave, I got rid of the IMDb and Google+ citations for which you declined the article, cited it with new reliable sources, and resubmitted it.

February 2016

I responded to everything you said and your attempt at compromise here. Forgive me for being a little tempered, but like come on. You should've brought these things up in the review, and what you did bring up there (the release date and label), you didn't justify or say anything beyond your personal opinion regarding how it's so relevant that it should be stated up front, WP:LEAD guidelines on defining an article topic in the lead's first sentence notwithstanding.

Mr. K. C. Pant

Dear Editor(Misplaced Pages),

I am Suresh Pandey a product of Kumaon University. I and my Friends are keen on historical research. Our focus and interest in to study the period of Indian Freedom Struggle and contemporary history – a period stretching over 125 years.

During this period we are mining information and historical photographs of some individuals and families who have contributed towards the Making of Modern India.

In this context we are editing the wiki page of Mr. K.C. Pant, Former Defence Minister. It takes a lot of time and effort to locate historical photographs which are relevant and connected to his life. We are all doing jobs in India in the Information Technology sector. It takes a lot of time and efforts to first locate for photographs and then upload them on the Wikipage.

We would request you not to edit the text and the relevant photographs from the wiki page of Former Defence Minister of India, Mr. K.C. Pant.

Warm Wishes,

(Suresh Pandey)
