Out-of-sequence comment
Luke, I just wanted to let you know that we had an edit conflict just now at Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/FC_Ridings. You made your comment first but I decided to add mine above yours so that it was clear that when I said "you", I meant the editor we were both replying to (Markreeves94), rather than you. I hope you don't feel that was inappropriate. Dricherby (talk) 13:31, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- I appreciate the heads-up, and I wonder if the IP and the account are linked to one person, or just linked to the club. I don't plan on running an SPI, though. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:34, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- I think it's quite likely that they're the same person but, at this stage, I'm happy to accept that the user doesn't stay logged into his account. I agree that it's probably not worth SPIing, though it might be worth it if they both !vote. Also, I note that there are two Mark Reeveses who play for the club so I'll flag that COI at the AfD. Dricherby (talk) 13:40, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- Unless I'm very much mistaken (Murray Walker ftw), they have both voted. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:43, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
- Fat lot of good it did them, if they were the same person. :-) Dricherby (talk) 17:55, 13 May 2013 (UTC)

Share the Cookies
Here's a plate full of cookies to share! | |
Hi VanishedUser sdu8asdasd, here are some delicious cookies to help brighten your day! However, there are too many cookies here for one person to eat all at once, so please share these cookies with at least two other editors by copying {{subst:Sharethecookies}} to their talk pages.

Incorrect data Australian Touring Car Racing
Hi Luke!,
A colleague of mine recently forwarded a Misplaced Pages reference (copy below) showing that he had changed my name from my 'Nick' name to my correct birth name within all references for Australian Sports car and Touring car racing!.
"An unregistered user is habitually changing all Denis Horley entries to James (Denis) Horley. I have reverted most of these and added references to support the use of “Denis Horley”, but I have nothing on the 1987 Pepsi 250 results on this page. Can anyone help please? GTHO (talk) 09:48, 30 May 2011 (UTC)"
As such, I would like to chat with you regarding changing the reference to my correct name of James (Denis) Horley (the name on my birth certificate, CAMS Licence etc.)
I understand that various programs and results were printed using James(Denis)Horley as it was the name used by various people at that time perhapes in the same way of Ian(Pete)Geoghegan.
I would be happy to forward you copies of the above and then correct the Misplaced Pages pages accordingly.
I look forward to hearing from you
James Horley

- Whilst I am fully inclined to believe you, unfortunately, I'm really struggling to find much in the way of sources at all. This uses the Denis Horley name, but is obviously far from complete. is a little more complete, but still seems to have the "Denis Horley" name, as does this list here: . Have you got any online links to 1980s ATCC race-day programs/entry lists, or any more sources? If you do, and there's enough of them, I'll consider writing your article as well (although I would strongly suggest that you don't edit it yourself, other than to correct any spelling mistakes.

Randolph
Randolph is coming, in July when his contract expires, though I imagine he'll still be playing for Motherwell on Sunday :-) But the only reliable sources for a current transfer being completed are the clubs involved: media organisations do tend to announce an expected transfer as complete before it is, to avoid the risk of being pre-empted by other media organisations, or to prove how up-to-the-minute and well-informed they are. There was a discussion about that here. When I checked the club sites before reverting, they hadn't confirmed, although they did shortly afterwards. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 15:14, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for fixing this. Not sure what happened there but presume a mis-click on rollback. - Sitush (talk) 18:11, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure either. I'm glad it was a mistake, as I had no idea why you did that, and it freaked me out a tad. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:13, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry about that, really. AE is on my watchlist but I've not actually been watching it these last few days, if you see what I mean. I don't use rollback particularly often, so making a mistake like that will at least bump up my usage stats! - Sitush (talk) 18:15, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
- I've wandered around AE before, but can't think of any time I've actually posted there (which is partially why I freaked out a bit xD) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)
Why do you revert my Changes
Hy may I ask why do you change my changes? Cretman121 (talk) 08:17, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
- Firstly, welcome to Misplaced Pages, and I hope this experience doesn't put you off! Secondly, I reverted your changes because they appeared to violate one of our policies, which prohibits the use of original research - edits made that are either unsourced, or use sources in an incorrect manner. Please read WP:OR, and if you have any further questions, feel free to ask. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Thanks and now I get it but still may I ask another question. As I really cant find a source that software scheduling is not affecting compute performances in Geforce 600, How can I proceed? And Thanks again for being so polite and nice for my mistake.
- Not a problem, and if you can't find any WP:RS compliant sources, then you can't make the edit. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:44, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
Okay Thanks. I gonna try to dig some more source including at Nvidia's but if I cant find any reliable sources then I will revert my own chances. Cretman121 (talk) 08:57, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
St. Patrick's Classical School's crest
Hello Luke,
StPatsCrest.png is the crest of St. Patrick's Classical School. I was wondering if you could change the External Ornaments from black to green as shown in
External Ornaments of a Bishop.svg as the school is under the patronage of a Bishop, not a Abbot. But would you keep the motto of the school black and the other designs the same if you could. I would greatly appreciate this kind change as I am not as skilled enough. Thanks
(Baron Langford, talk) 12:45, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not sure what you want me to do, to be honest. I'm not a skilled image editor, and besides, I don't see what would be achieved by this, unless you can show some evidence to prove that the real school's crest has changed. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:30, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
I mentioned you

- Echo means that I already receive such notifications, but thanks. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:48, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
- I know it does, but I still think it's good form to drop an actual message. Thanks for responding over there.— alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 19:54, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
22 song
I added a reference for Swift's performance but instead of removing my line, you could have just added a Cn tag and that would have been fine. Otherwise you can remove all the lines that preceded what I added since they are unsourced as well... --Sofffie7 (talk) 21:32, 20 May 2013 (UTC)
- Not everything needs to go because it is unsourced, but anything of that kind (stating they were part of a major awards ceremony) requires a reference - the burden is on the adding editor to find a reference, not other editors to reference it for them (or even tag it as unsourced).

Draft topic ban Jax
I would like to see you comments and additions to User:The Banner/Workpage28, the draft for a topic ban proposal regarding Jax 0677. Hope to hear soon. The Banner talk 12:11, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
- Where do you wish me to put my comments? :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:56, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Now see what you've done!
Picking on harmless Swedish academics! You should be ashamed of yourself. EEng (talk) 05:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC) BTW, what is fly-ash, anyway?
- Are you actually being serious? For one, you're clearly gullible enough to believe that story. For another, this user is so harmless that they have launched a stream of attacks against various users, rejected any attempts at being helped, solicited meatpuppet IPs, and used a sockpuppet account (note that I didn't file the investigation against that one). Clearly, this user is harmless and an asset to Misplaced Pages... I have no idea what Fly-ash is, look up its page here. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 06:56, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- If I'd said, "Picking on harmless Swedish academics whose only wish was to give due recognition to material scientists who have labored long in obscurity making the world a better place by energetically modifying cement," would it have been clearer whether I was serious or not? EEng (talk) 11:32, 22 May 2013 (UTC) P.S. Fly-ash is apparently something that goes into cement -- Jono was always talking about it.
- Ah, I see what you mean, reading things before 8 in the morning clearly doesn't work for me :D Based on that, I presume you didn't buy the collapsing story either? Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:13, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
- I thought about suggesting Jono check out Help:Collapsing but I would have been pilloried. EEng (talk) 13:12, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

Re:Oops
Hi there, no worries, if you need any help with MOS/writing articles in future then let me know, I've started over 3,000 of the buggers so I should (hopefully!) know a thing or two. Oh, and thanks for cleaning up my clean up ;) GiantSnowman 15:46, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
- None of us are perfect, I usually focus more on neutralizing language and expanding articles than making them 100% stylistically perfect, (although that's not saying I would deliberately mess up an article!) apart from when I GA nom an article :D Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:49, 23 May 2013 (UTC)
- Well, let's at least get you started on the path toward stylistic perfection: None of us are perfect => None of us is perfect. :P EEng (talk) 00:04, 24 May 2013 (UTC) (I'm stuck somewhere just now and have nothing better to do than give you a hard time, you see.)
- I disagree that the above is the correct way to say that. :p Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:00, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- Well, none of us is exempt from error. :P EEng (talk) 08:09, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

Alansohn discussion at ANI
Thank you for participating in the ANI discussion, and for having the decency for stating the obvious: That Alansohn was wrong in what he did. However, you stated nothing further after Alan's response, and the discussion was archived, before I could even respond, as I have been busy with other things outside of Misplaced Pages. I've restored it, with my response, evidence from the past 6 years of his behavior, and a call for a resolution. Can you please offer your thoughts? Thank you. Nightscream (talk) 04:47, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
Afds
I think your missing the point, regardless of how i nominated them or whether i called them groups are not. I came to the conclusion these artists are clearly non notable people that do not deserve a Misplaced Pages page. So there is no need to keep leaving harsh comments like i don't know what i'm doing. Koala15 (talk) 14:11, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
- At least one of those AFDs certainly suggests that they are a notable group/musician. Not only that, your rationale of "non-notable x" is quite vague, and is thus easily defeated. I was attempting to advise you on how you could improve; if you don't wish to take my advice, fine, but someone may well get very frustrated with you, if you continue in this manner.

A brownie for you!
Thank you for all the hard work on the Philadelphia University Article. The vandalism has been frequent lately. The assistance is much appreciated. Gruganc (talk) 15:52, 24 May 2013 (UTC) |
Another sock?
I was doing a sweep of some articles and happened upon an article for a Barelvi cleric which I had cleaned up - an article for a cleric whom I actually like, ironically enough. I was then accused of vandalism while being reverted here, here and here. What do you make of the language of this Ecomaster guy? Another long time sock? Considering that we just saw a six-year sock banned, it is theoretically possible. MezzoMezzo (talk) 07:19, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
- It's plausible, but the account is stale at present, and I can't see any "smoking gun" in the edit summaries, which is all I have to go on - since this user has never utilized a talkpage. I'm currently more inclined to believe that this is actually a third editor (ie, not CSGU or Msoamu) at present, but they're definitely worth keeping an eye on. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:43, 25 May 2013 (UTC)
How Rude...!
Of me! Woops ;-) Narom (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

WP:FOOTBALL
I agree, and would say we need to come up with new, detailed notability/MOS pages to provide guidance on all issues related to football. GiantSnowman 09:16, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Joaquín Carbonell
Great, cheers! GiantSnowman 17:18, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Kevin Phillips
In my experience, a {{cn}} tag usuall has little-to-no effect. It is much better to remove and then re-add with reliable sourcing, rather than allowing unsourced and potentially poor material to remain on the off-chance someone comes along and starts citing. GiantSnowman 17:28, 27 May 2013 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Misplaced Pages articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 01:10, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Phillips sourcing
Hello. Please see Talk:Kevin Phillips (footballer)#Sourcing. All I personally intend to do is source and restore any sections of the pre-cleanup version that no-one gets to first. If anyone wants to improve/expand beyond that, I'm sure the readers would appreciate it. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 09:36, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

Sunbeam Tiger
"And Martin Buckley's Classic Cars A Celebration of the Motor Car From 1945 to 1975 says 571. (ISBN number: 1-84477-023-0) - definitely some major variation in the production numbers.
Do you have a page number for that? Eric Corbett 17:59, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- P235. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:14, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- Excellent, thanks. If you're interested I think I've got to the bottom of why there's such a large discrepancy in the Tiger II production figures quoted in different sources, and added a note to the article in an effort to explain what I think is going on. Eric Corbett 19:03, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- Seen it, and it does make sense. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:06, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
My Roberto Martinez edit
Sorry I didn't leave an edit summary (I hit submit by mistake), but what I meant to note was that Sky Sports sources say y&r same thing BBC does - he's been given permission to leave, but it hasn't happened yet ( and I imagine Wigan will seek compensation, so there's more that needs to happen before the separation is official). Mosmof (talk) 22:26, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
- "Manager Roberto Martinez has decided to leave Wigan" - regardless of whether or not he is taking the job, he's leaving Wigan. If you look at the Football page of Sky Sports, it says "Wigan exit confirmed". My edit was correct, and I will restore it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:07, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
- Right - but it's saying that a future exit is confirmed. I realize this feels like it's picking at nits, but "Martinez is leaving" is different from "Martinez has left". As things stands, he is still Wigan's manager. It's like if you're engaged to be married - that doesn't mean you're married yet. --Mosmof (talk) 14:31, 29 May 2013 (UTC)
Reverting
Please don't take offence, but you'd probably do better sticking to the automatic edit summaries rather than drawing attention to this sort of thing. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 16:47, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
RFC/U
Just for info, there's already been one, Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Kiefer.Wolfowitz. The close did mention disruption at RfA, particularly in the context of "opinion of young editors", and also a need to be "a little more respectful to those around him".
So this would either be a second RFC/U (which is entirely permissible, of course), an arbcom case, or a discussion at WP:AN requesting some sort of formal restrictions on his behaviour at RfA. Read the first RFC/U to see the kind of reaction there might be from some editors to any such proposals. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 04:04, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- You might ask Gwickwire or other young men who have followed Demiurge1000's advice about their experiences. Please insist that email be sent through the user interface, so that it can be monitored by the Wikimedia Foundation. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 06:11, 3 June 2013 (UTC)
- I'm not intending - yet - to file a RFC/U case myself, and I don't intend to go to the level of ArbCom (Kiefer is clearly wasting people's time, but I don't think they're quite disruptive enough to bump it up that far at present). And although I was unaware of the previous RFC/U, looking at the close, that sums up the major reason why I don't want to file one at this time - Kiefer disrupted it so much, drawing in the other parties to do the same, that nothing happened. Which is exactly what is happening at the RfA thread. It's Matty I really feel sorry for - they didn't deserve Kiefer's comment, and all of this garbage hasn't helped things.

Sports-related notability
Hello, mate. I watched my edits were reversed. The reason for this is, in English language the word "people" is used as the plural of "person". The "persons" plural is rarely, if corrrectly, used.

- With such a major policy, you should attempt to get a consensus prior to making any kind of change (other than something that isn't a typo). I'm not saying your edit was bad (and I was half-asleep at the time of reverting) but it's just food for thought :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:06, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi I went ahead and did some editing over on the page and deleted some more of the sections with out sources. If you get a chance to look over it just let me know since I added in more references and I'm not sure what more I would need to do at this point. kgal1298 (talk) 15:28, 5 June 2013 (UTC)

Your GA nomination of Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979)
The article Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979) you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979) for comments about the article. Well done! C679 17:06, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
Paul Robinson (footballer born 1979)
Hi, well done on getting this passed at GA. I have one comment regarding the international years in the infobox. Standard convention is that these represent the years of the first and last caps, rather than the years of the first and last call-ups. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 17:14, 9 June 2013 (UTC)
- I can understand why that would be; I just believe this to be more correct. If you want to change it, go ahead - I won't war with you over it. :) Also, thanks on the congratulations, it's safe to say it was a hell of alot more work than I anticipated - serves me right for not checking the article properly prior to nomination! It was worth it though. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 17:17, 9 June 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
We are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page.
IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation.
Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information.
Changes to SuggestBot's suggestions
We have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
- Views/Day
- Daily average number of views an article's had over the past 14 days.
- Quality
- Predicted article quality on a 1- to 3-star scale. Placing your cursor over the stars should give you a pop-up describing the article's quality (Low/Medium/High), current assessment class, and predicted assessment class.
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:
- Content
- Is more content needed?
- Headings
- Does this article have an appropriate section structure?
- Images
- Is the number of illustrative images about right?
- Links
- Does this article link to enough other Misplaced Pages articles?
- Sources
- For its length, is there an appropriate number of citations to sources in this article?
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Misplaced Pages better — thanks for helping!
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 00:37, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Request for clarification
Hello, Lukeno94. I wonder if you can help me by explaining what you mean by this edit summary. You may be right in saying that Li3939108 "know damn well why that is vandalism", but it is not obvious to me why it is. The source does, on the face of it, seem to support the substance of the edit. (I am relying on a couple of machine translations of the source, but the essential substance of the edit seems to be there.) JamesBWatson (talk) 20:18, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- It most definitely doesn't (note: I'm also using a machine translation). It supports the statement about her university place being fake. "Her thesis cannot be found in archives and generally students majoring in Chinese literature would do research on literature or linguistics, rather than societies." is OR at best (for the second half of it). "And her imprisonment was fabricated" is a very, very clear BLP violation. The source is only remotely reliable for the comments about her university place; for the rest of it, it is unreliable, and thus this is a BLP-violating edit. I've had my eye on the Ping Fu article for a while, and although this is not the worst I've seen, it's pretty standard of Chinese editors being canvassed into the crusade. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:25, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- I assume that by "the second half" of "Her thesis cannot be found in archives and generally students majoring in Chinese literature would do research on literature or linguistics, rather than societies", you mean the part "generally students majoring in Chinese literature would do research on literature or linguistics, rather than societies." This seems to me to be supported by a passage in the source which Bing translates as In addition, Jiangsu teachers ' College graduate theses are based on literature and Linguistics: a study, and does not involve "infanticide" this involved sociological content, and Google as In addition, Jiangsu Teachers College Department of Chinese literature and linguistics thesis are based on the research object, which does not involve "infanticide" This involves sociological content.
- "And her imprisonment was fabricated" seems to be directly supported by a passage whcih Bing renders as During the study period, 78 students that no one involved in criminal matters, the jail thing is nothing! Association of arrest is a pack of lies! and Google as In its enrolled during the 78 grade students did not involve any criminal event, which is put in prison the matter is non-existent! Its a matter of the arrest of associations is a pack of lies! JamesBWatson (talk) 20:40, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
- You're probably right about #1, but #2, well, this source is totally unreliable for that particular bit of information, which is why this edit is a BLP violation. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:44, 11 June 2013 (UTC)
Mazda 626/Capella
Nice, I hadn't gotten around to merging those but I am glad you did. Did you bring all references across, and how about infobox data (engines etc)? Thanks again, Mr.choppers | ✎ 02:14, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Phew, I went to town and added all the relevant data and some new stuff. The 626/Capella relationship gets very confusing from 1991 until 1997 at least, maybe the best thing would actually be to name the article "Mazda 626/Capella"? The GD generation sits rather awkwardly in this article since it was never sold with the Capella badge (to my knowledge), but rather as the Cronos/Enfini MS-6. Mr.choppers | ✎ 04:59, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- I didn't merge the infoboxes as it looked to me like they already matched. As to Capella/626 in the mid 1990s, it appears from a Google search that the Capella badge was still used in New Zealand, although if it was used anywhere else for the GE generation, I can't see it. Whilst I personally would be happy with a Capella/626 article, I would have to oppose it on MOS grounds and per WP:COMMONNAME. I also intend to merge the "Mazda Cronos" article into this at some point, as it's just a tweaked version of the GE Capella. I'm glad you've gone and tidied things up - it looks a lot better than when I merged things, although still not perfect! It's better to half one mediocre article than 3 half-arsed ones, at any rate. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:07, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Four half-arsed ones - there was also the Efini MS-6, which I already merged. The Cronos definitely should become merged. Lookin in a book of mine (Assembly: New Zealand Car Production 1921-98), the NZ-assembled cars were all called 626 or Ford Telstar. Since there is massive importation of used Japanese cars, you may simply have seen one of these. Mr.choppers | ✎ 18:05, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- It's entirely plausible; I only had a brief search. Good to see that you're working quite hard on this article, even if you have made some silly errors that I fixed :P Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 18:09, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Pierre Webó - Reply
Hi there LUKE, AL from Portugal here,
the "user" writes Fenerbahçe won the league when it DID NOT (champions were Galatasaray), and i was the one over the top, not the vandal? Fair enough...
regarding this team and its "fans", i think it was in Bruno Alves that someone added, in his HONOURS, "2013-14 Süper Lig" immediately after he joined Fenerbahçe. The season has not even started and he won the league, so i would not be surprised the same person had "contributed" in both Alves and Webó.
Back to Webó: yes it was the person's only edit, but because of that it cannot be deemed what it is, vandalism? Guess i still have a lot to learn in almost seven years of editing.
Attentively --AL (talk) 08:56, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Indeed, i agree. But i have ZERO tolerance for vandalism, only "excuse" i can offer you. Cheers --AL (talk) 10:00, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
Microsoft Office 365
I'm curious as to why you think that the removal of massive chunks of content without reasonable explanation - objected to by at least one other user besides myself, by the way - does not qualify as vandalism. Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 16:21, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- It was reasonably explained. The user removed a whole bunch of promotional stuff, WP:UNDUE stuff, and poorly-sourced things. At least one user has informed you of what vandalism actually is; I'm beginning to wonder if the standard of your English is sufficient to edit here... Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:25, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- First of all, this user did not state two of the three reasons you mentioned, at least for that particular revert. Second, "marketing fluff" does not qualify as a "non-frivolous explanation" per WP:VANDAL.
- By the way: vandalism or not, do you actually agree with these edits - and if so, why? Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 16:30, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- Evidently I do agree, since I reverted you... And my statement above shows what I think about the edits. Whether the user expressly made every single reason clear is irrelevant; what they said was enough, and you're the one making the bullshit vandalism claims, not them. If you're going to act like this, then please, don't return to my talkpage until you actually understand what irony is (a clue: you whining about "vandalism", which Viper never accused you of, at least, not in the article, yet you accuse him of being a vandal...) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:35, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- You didn't answer my question: do you agree with the edits in principle, that is, would you have reverted if I hadn't called them vandalism - and if so, why?
- Also, what does what the other user accused or didn't accuse me of have to do with this? Dogmaticeclectic (talk) 16:38, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
- For fuck's sake. Yes, I agree with the other user's edits, and your edit summary makes fuck all of a difference. Now go away, since you seem completely incapable of reading anything I, or others, say. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:41, 12 June 2013 (UTC)
