it:Television licensing in the United Kingdom

Help - not sure what the problem was here - I quoted the appropriate section of the law 'Communications Act 2003 Part 4 Section 368 (2)' which doesn't mention watching or recording. This is a fiction put about by Capita in their business of collecting the licence fee. "Watching or Recording" tv may be evidence of an offence as defined in the act, but are not in themselves lllegal.Ripov (talk) 23:56, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

@Ripov: Could you provide a diff or a link to the page? I am not sure what you are referring to. Tornado chaser (talk) 23:58, 26 November 2017 (UTC) Never mind, I found the page. Tornado chaser (talk) 23:59, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

@Ripov: Your edit did not cite a source for the change you made, and you edit appeared to be WP:OR. You need to find a reliable source for any changes you make, feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Tornado chaser (talk) 00:05, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Stephen C. Meyer Ph.D

Give the man his honours, — Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelrm1256 (talk • contribs) 20:38, 6 December 2017 (UTC)

@Michaelrm1256: Misplaced Pages dosen't use honorifics like Dr. in names of anyone, and the lead of an article dosen't start by listing a persons degree(s), this is nothing against Stephen C. Meyer and just standard practice in wikipedia. His degrees are listed in the biography section, where they should be. Tornado chaser (talk) 14:39, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Re Blacksands Pacific and Raheem Brennerman

There has been no press release yet, but BRENNERMAN was convicted of the charges which I stated on 12/6/2017 after a jury trial. This is a fact and beyond dispute. And this pertained to the Blacksands Pacific group as well, for which I got the same nastygram. Go on PACER or otherwise check it out. Its a shame you did not vet this individuals original claims listed on his wiki page, which certainly contributed to the success of his original crime. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:2605:BB00:8C33:4911:A438:3CDA (talk) 00:57, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

You MUST cite a reliable source for anything negative or controversial that you post about a living person, see WP:BLP, and feel free to ask me if you have any questions. Tornado chaser (talk)

Archive url

When an archive url is present we do not tend to still tag the ref with "dead link" Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:45, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Specifically here it says "Before considering whether to use the template it is often useful to make a search for an archive copy of the dead link and thereby avoid using the tag altogether." Doc James (talk · contribs · email) 21:46, 10 December 2017 (UTC)

Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences

Hello, the changes where taken direcly from the official website of amritahospital.org as original stated by HH Mata Amritanandamayi. Since the core principle of the hospitals and the institutes is to dedicate their service for uplifting human sufferings and to provide first class medical services as well for financial weak patients, this crucial information is missing so far. Tks and kind rgds — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:4C50:14B:A00:98CC:3E91:D1E4:8512 (talk) 22:42, 11 December 2017 (UTC)

You should see WP:citing sources, all content needs a citation. Also, I don't think the text you added complies with WP:NPOV, as it seems to have a promotional tone (eg "first class medical services"), feel free to ask me if you have questions. Tornado chaser (talk) 00:31, 12 December 2017 (UTC)

The Patterson School

Hello,

I recently submitted edits for the Patterson School listing, which were twice rejected. I am the Chairman of the Patterson School Foundation. The current content is inaccurate and misleading. Please accept my edits to make this site more accurate.

You can't make promotional edits, all of wikipedia must have an neutral point of view, also, you should familiarize yourself with wikipedia's conflict of intrest policy, feel free to ask any questions. Tornado chaser (talk) 22:02, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

Question out of ignorance

I'm trying to set up archiving by month on my Talk page and Sandbox page, but it looks like I got something wrong or left something out. If you have a few moments, would you mind taking a look at it and giving instructions on how I can fix it; or let me know where I may go to ask such questions. Thanks C. W. Gilmore (talk) 23:11, 16 December 2017 (UTC)

@C. W. Gilmore: I don't know how to do automated archiving, what I do is create an archive file, and then cut and past what I want to archive from my talk page into the archive file.

Here is the code for my archive search box:

Regarding my edit on Parents' Worship Day Page

I edited the article my maintaining neutral point of view only. I had added proper references of news websites for each and every point that I added. Still you have reverted my entire edit. Please let me know why? Thanks. AmSeema (talk) 17:06, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

@AmSeema: Because the stuff you added contained phrases like "Parents Worship Day is the turning point for humanity" which clearly expresses an opinion, wikipedia must not be written in an opinionated way. WP:NPOV dosen't mean write whatever the news says, if the source you cite is written with a bias you still have to write in a neutral way on wikipedia. The part of your edit that was not biased was about pregnancy and STDs, so it seemed quite off topic in an article about a day to respect your parents. Tornado chaser (talk) 17:13, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

@Tornado chaser: Okay, I agree that I shall not write words like, "turning point for humanity" etc. However, the points about STD etc are not off-topic because the very idea behind celebration of "Parents Worship Day on 14th Feb" is to avoid the celebration of Valentine's Day as it leads to teenage pregnancy etc. So, now I am planning to edit the article again by removing sentences like "turning point for humanity" but I will retain points about teenage pregnancy, STD etc. Hope that is fine. AmSeema (talk) 17:18, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

@AmSeema: Do you have a reliable source that says Parents Worship Day is intended to avoid teenage pregnancy and STDs or that Valentine's Day leads to these issues? Tornado chaser (talk) 17:28, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

@Tornado chaser: Refer http://fox6now.com/2013/02/13/united-way-launches-teen-pregnancy-prevention-campaign-for-valentines-day/ http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/odisha/2011/feb/15/indianisation-of-valentines-day-227757.html

http://indiatoday.intoday.in/story/worship-parents-on-valentines-day-asaram-bapu/1/171080.html https://www.unicef-irc.org/publications/pdf/repcard3e.pdf AmSeema (talk) 17:57, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

@AmSeema: The Indiatoday reference dosen't talk about pregnancy or STDs at all. I didn't look at www.newindianexpress.com, as this site gave me some kind of scam, not a news article. The Fox reference said a teen pregnancy prevention program was timed to be on Valentine's day, but it didn't say that valentines day leads to pregnancy, saying this based on these sources would be WP:OR.

Namat ullas poetry .

I am a Muslim and I know Islam . And therefore I was editing about that Muslim saint's poetry .

@Sikander.sardar.1: All edits to wikipedia need to have a neutral point of view, and they must also cite a reliable source. Your edit did neither, your opinion of someones poetry does not belong in an encyclopedia, let alone in ALL CAPS. Tornado chaser (talk) 17:48, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Brother ! Read his poetry then

I shall ask you . His poetry was divine . And I always have a neutral point of view . Bro ! His poetry had the secrets unsolved mistries and information about the world till the end of this world . He told names of kings which came 4 to 6 centuries after him ..

Sikander.sardar.1 (talk) 17:54, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

@Sikander.sardar.1: This doesn't change the fact that you need to cite a reliable source and no, your edit did not have a neutral point of view. Tornado chaser (talk) 18:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

Hi

I'm sorry, I am new to editing and was unaware that that shouldn't be submitted. Thank you though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Merp0404 (talk • contribs) 00:58, 20 December 2017 (UTC)

@Merp0404:I have already reported you to the admins for vandalism, so I have amended the report to say that you didn't know, but plese make shore you understand what is considered vandalism, since I doubt the admins will not give you any more chances.

@Sikander.sardar.1:I always edit from a computer so I wouldn't know, I would try to creat the page in your sandbox and then figure out how to move it once it is written. Tornado chaser (talk) 14:30, 20 December 2017 (UTC)
