Supriya Pathak

I saw what you did at Supriya Pathak. I asked you nicely but you took it on your ego and vented your frustration by blanking more sections of the page. If you really want to remove unsourced or poorly sourced info then why don't you give some time to other editors so that they can properly add sources.

You are clearly discouraging other editors who are still learning like me. You just want to be superior to others. First you want sources and when you are provided with them, you call them bad and unreliable. You should be encouraging people but it seems like you are on a mission to prove something.

Sorry for my this behavior but you kind of disappointed and demoralized me today. Sorry for bad English. LOL!

Grover again

Hello, the last line on the Karan Singh Grover biography page is unnecessary as KSG has done a lot more work, and I don't see why only Qubool Hai should be mentioned! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nkapoor21 (talk • contribs)

Qubool Hai

Hi I don't get why you think that the plot summary is too long. This is the actual story of 18 months held as short as possible. Th information is needed because without it the plot is not completed and a person who doesn't know the story also doesn't know where the story ended or when the season ended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Assiaksgian1 (talk • contribs) 17:43, 19 April 2014 (UTC)

Question

Hi there! Were you aware that an account has been created for User:TheRedPenOfDoom2 on February 1? If this is a second account you made for yourself, it's fine; the concern is only that someone might have created that account with the intent to impersonate you. Please let me know if that's you or not, in order that either I can report them or forget the matter. Cheers! —This lousy T-shirt— (talk) 20:58, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

@This lousy T-shirt: Thank you! I did not create that account- it looks like the impostors have run out of colors and are now into the numbers.

Where do you see the new creations? -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:56, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

You're welcome!  :) They've been reported now! For future reference, you can check the list of new creations here.. —This lousy T-shirt— (talk) 23:21, 22 April 2014 (UTC)

Sean Lien

Thank you for your advice. I will try to incorporate the information into the main content of the article. Regards.Linfengfei (talk) 11:50, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Again my edits have been reverted by the person who seems intent on assisting Sean Lien with his campaign. As you can see I have tried to engage on the talk page, but that seems futile. Might I trouble you to take a look at my edits and render an impartial decision? I will respect whatever decision you render.Linfengfei (talk) 16:07, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

I understand that wiki is not concerned with facts but with what can be verified, and if the reports are widely made in the local media and never subject to refutation by Lien or his campaign staff, then why is this an "aspersion"? For context, please compare our last three presidents' wikipages--Ma Ying-jeou, Chen Shui-bian, or Lee Teng-hui--each of whom was a previous mayor of Taipei. Their wikipages make multiple references to allegations and controversies. So why should Lien be permitted to have supporters draft his own wikipage and make claims such as he transformed a Corporation into a profitable enterprise, when the only evidence for that is a singular report issued by the Taipei City government, the person who employed him, and who is his political ally? There have been many conflicting reports published in the media, and why are these ignored? Sincerely, I do not understand. As an aside, the failure to have served in the military is an important local issue.Linfengfei (talk) 23:06, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Might I ask that you or other editors examine the recent edits on Sean Lien's page. I suppose I've stated my position clearly enough, and I believe I've bent over backwards to be fair to him. But...well, please see for yourself, if that is convenient for you.Linfengfei (talk) 06:18, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

Regarding merge of article of Telugu film grossers

Hello, I'm Phani M. I undid your recent edit of merging the article. The discussion which started on 29th December,2013 is not yet over. You merged the Tollywood films article only though there is no discussion/result about Tollywood films especially. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my talk page.Thank you Phani M (talk) 16:31, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Never knew of Krampus' story till American Dad episode

It looks like he has a growing amount of pop-Western culture dedicated to him. TVTropes have over 90 references to Krampus list on their page. Part of the drive behind this maybe the neo-pagan movements of the 90's? I don't have a RS about that hypothesis and not even NPR made the connection. I think a few more important sources can be found about Krampus in popular culture though. A neo-pagan blogger extends the desire to popularize Krampus in opposition to the Christian message of the season Now if we could just popularize Befana and Krampus – Jason Mankey. Slate mentions Krampus and a further book written by photographer Charles Fréger called Wilder Mann. Some members of the Occupy Movement have been pushing Krampus as a symbol for Occupying Christmas. Another blog published by By Gendy Alimurung in the LATimes is a proponent of bringing Krampus to LA and popularizing him around America.. GoogleScholar doesn't have anyhting I could find about why Krampus is becoming more popular in America so maybe you'll have better luck than me finding some RS; maybe after this Christmas some will turn up.

Garrett Whitlock

Bio of Garrett Whitlock was merged with the Submersed page and deleted.?? Hello, I worked with Garrett on his bio. His bio meets the criteria to stand on it's own even though he was a member of the band Submersed. I don't understand why it got deleted.

Warren Jeffs

The piping of Marilyn Steed is because the name of her article is spelled differently than in Warren's article. She spells her name differently at different points, as does the media. The piping is necessary. --Kbabej (talk) 23:52, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

We're not going to get anywhere playing that game

Hey TRPOD - I'm requesting you be a little more transparent with me regarding your thinking. It's quite disingenuous for you to keep claiming that I don't accept some broad fact or policy at the exact moment I request that you or others explain how your applying them and then dangle an AE in front of me. First it's inaccurate. Secondly there is no evidence of your WP Aspersions. Thirdly, it just feels like I'm being harassed so therefore not really productive towards you and I building a consensus together. Let's try a more calm, thoughtful, and rational approach. SAS81 (talk) 16:56, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) You have failed to make a case why this is a problem, since TRPoD is a long-time Wikipedian with a solid grounding in policy and you are a PR guy with an agenda to buff up an article on a notorious proponent of nonsense. Guy (Help!) 12:28, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Suzannah Lipscomb

TRPOD - You insist upon adding that she dedicated a book to her husband Drake. The truth is that they separated in February 2013. Your approach is aggressive and unnecessary. I quite see that truth is needed, but every single personal detail about somebody is not necessary, especially if it is known that the subject does not want it known - there are many pages in which information provided is purely professional and not personal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.80.5 (talk) 21:25, 26 April 2014 (UTC)

(:) can I ask why you are so obsessed with adding marriage details? It appears you view this as your personal page and think only yourself has any right to edit it. Just because there is no source on the internet confirming the marriage is over does not mean it is not a fact. Why will you not accept this?

(talk page stalker)are you trying to seriously add unsourced information to a BLP? -Roxy the dog (resonate) 10:22, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

If you are so obsessed with showing who one of Dr. Lipscomb's books is dedicated to, surely for consistency you should include to whom all her books are dedicated to, unless of course, you have an agenda! You clearly do, and indeed I see from your page that you are an interfering busybody whom nobody appreciates sitting on your high horse 'we at Misplaced Pages', rubbish, you have no more right to make changes than anybody else. You want to put details of the failed marriage, but deny the separation, clearly your agenda is not veracity but disruption.MdeBohun (talk) 18:17, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Strange additions of images

Could you please take a look at these edits? Thanks! JimRenge (talk) 10:02, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

And our Indian friend is also adding every image he uploads, to articles, regardless of who reverts and without establishing any encyclopaedic merit. Guy (Help!) 12:24, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

I never thought of just editing the first clean version in the history. Thanks for the tip, and for cleaning up the article. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:14, 28 April 2014 (UTC)

I had earlier asked you not to remove sourced information from Misplaced Pages articles. This is your only warning; if you remove or blank page contents or templates from Misplaced Pages again, as you did at Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Do NOT remove sourced information from the article. If you have any issue with the sources, discuss first on the article's talk page. Do not push your agenda through blind reverts. --Tamravidhir (talk) 09:04, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

I fail to see why you reverted this contribution as no reason is given.

I would advise you to give reasons for what you do, otherwise misunderstandings can arise eg edit wars.--DadaNeem (talk) 22:46, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

If I don't get a response I will mark your "contribution" as vandalism.--DadaNeem (talk) 22:56, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Unknown years of Jesus

Gomanazbt (talk) 19:28, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

I am slightly confused as the work referenced is copyrighted material registered with the US Copyright office since 2012. The work is publicly shared for anyone to download on the site referenced. Is that not a "reliable source"?

It also says that tone is "non-encyclopedic", so can you elaborate on the specific text in question? Not trying to state as fact since it is a theory so any feedback would be appreciated.

I am new to posting and the only feedback I got was when I just sighted the website. I have added more on the actual book so not sure if it is timing issue. Can you provide a link to the talk page of the latest submission?

To thank you for your edit/Talk Page contribution - and notify you as a courtesy

(THIS is about the WP ENTRY for TERENCE MCKENNA - in light of your Talk Page input - just posted, as follows, fyi):

With thanks to recent edits/effort. And specifically about the newly improved Stoned Apes paragraph - may I please cite the original, definitive 'better source'? "Concerning Terence McKenna's Stoned Apes" by B.P. Akers (http://realitysandwich.com/89329/terence_mckennas_stoned_apes/). Addressing a concern stated above, about source (S Woolfe) being "blog of a guy who works for a "libertarian-leaning magazine" in London ... Is he a member of the scientific community, or an authority on anthropology?":

The author of the original article is a phd scientist. Accredited in both biology and anthropology. With peer reviewed research, published in journals of scientific societies - fields including ethnobotany and mycology. Note (as reflects) his research as cited in WP entries e.g. Psilocybe hispanica; Rock Art of the Iberian Mediterranean Basin; and Villar del Humo. Since its Mar 28, 2011 publication, info from "Concerning Terence McKenna's Stoned Apes" - has been copied/pasted by many, like Mr Woolfe, without due citation.

As for this WP entry on Terence McKenna - my experience with it goes back to 2006. In view of that, and certain remarks above, may I note "Concerning ..." specifically cites WP's "entry for TM (which seemingly reflects ongoing tampering to keep a properly celebratory, uncritical tone)." I find that echoed above by vzaak (Jan 26) WP "has historically had problems with editors aiming to promote pseudoscience or lessen its criticism, which eventually lead to the arbitration case on pseudoscience." I question whether WP policy and practice is functionally sufficient to ensure WP purposes - against an 'inspired' determination of oppositional counter-purpose (TM hagiography). Whether appropriate edits here can stand against 'edit war' and subterfuge that's prevailed at this entry for years - is unclear considering, e.g.: "WP editors wish to minimize Terence's significance, so I think it's good not to let the bastards get away with this" (posted June 2, 2013, by ‘foxfire’ i.e. WP editor Peter Meyer: http://mckennaforum.com/forum/mckenna-forum-group1/terence-mckenna-forum-forum24/stoned-ape-theory-mckenna-shlain-hakim-bey-thread3.3/)

Again thanks to vzaak and others (TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom). With concern even doubts for this entry; may be a lost cause. Past conscientious edits have been easy targets for zapping - unable to stand or endure against a doggedly determined proprietary interest of McKenna 'admirers' (believers, followers, what are they exactly?), acting as WP editors, in service to a charismatic icon's PR.
