• In case you're wondering: I've reverted them twice so I can't really decide whether the article should be protected or not. Drmies (talk) 17:09, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
• First of all, I decided to update that page because it is based on the episode that I watched on the said program. I am asking for apology regarding that matter. I hope that you give consideration although it leads to an editing war but I updated the page based on facts. I will add more details and references regarding that matter on the next 24 hours. Thank you very much. JonathanDiesta (talk) 01:30, 01 April 2013 (UTC)JonathanDiesta (talk) 17:37, 31 March 2013 (UTC)
  • I think Biker Biker and I would appreciate an apology for your edit warring, yes--I think that would be an excellent idea. Drmies (talk) 03:53, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Not vanalisim

Hi, regarding you adding "Shared IP edu" to my IP talk page, I'm curious what prompted that, so I can learn if I made some mistake. Maybe I'm reading to much into "In response to vandalism from this IP address". All my edits have been in good faith (I've even reverted vandalism (on the Higgs boson)). I think I have a pretty good track record. I've seen some undos, only remember the last one (that is not really an improvement). I'm not sure if/how I can see a list of all of the undos to my edits. I hesitate to undo your adding to my talk page (but I guess it's allowed) in case it be misconstrued as editwarring and prefer if you would do it. I think this is the right way to contact you, not sure, if you answer should you maybe do it on my page? 130.208.69.54 (talk) 13:11, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Nobody is accusing you or anybody else in your establishment of vandalism. We simply use the tags to indicate who an IP address belongs to and this is common practice for schools/colleges, libraries, companies, government institutions, etc. My I ask why you do not see the need (or benefit) to registering an account? --Biker Biker (talk) 18:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Ok. I just like to help but not get identified (all the time). I guess I have it backwards. An identity would be more private (no IP-address tracking), but then my changes will be identified with my "name". I guess I could just not always log in. I wander what will happen with my history, will it (all) get included with my identity. But basically I guess I just haven't gotten around to it yet because I'm a newbie and lazy :)

You do not have to give your real name - in fact many editors, myself included, deliberately choose not to. There are advantages in having an account - you can edit semi-protected articles which IP's are prevented from doing (these are typically high-profile frequently vandalised articles) plus you also get a watchlist so you can keep track of who has made changes to articles that you are interested in or you yourself have previously edited/created. --Biker Biker (talk) 18:54, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Mopeds=

Hi Biker biker,

You edited my post about what is considered a moped in the UK to only include the post August 1st 1977 definition. Prior to August 1977 mopeds had no weight, power or speed restriction. They simply had to have pedals by which they could be propelled. They are still classified as mopeds today. So a 16 year old today can either ride a restricted 30mph moped or they can ride a pre August 1977 moped that has no weight, power or speed restriction. Unlike when learners switched from 250cc bikes down to 125cc bikes, 16 year olds with a CBT and a provisional license can ride unrestricted "sports mopeds" as long as the were first registered before 01/08/1977. That needs to be point out and not just removed because the link was wrong. Scootertuner1001 (talk) 18:42, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Do you have a reference to support the 1/8/77 date? None of the current government documents mention it. Personal knowledge counts for nothing - see WP:OR --Biker Biker (talk) 18:47, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

That was a typo. It is actually 01/09/1977 You can find it in many places, this being one of them or this or this or this or this or this is that enough for you? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Scootertuner1001 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Do you have any reliable sources that state that the current law in the United Kingdom allows unrestricted pedal-assisted bikes to be classed as mopeds. There may have been a provision in the past, but that no longer appears to be part of the new rules introduced in January 2013. --Biker Biker (talk) 19:31, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Samsung Electronics

Just for my own education, what makes this edit badly sourced? ♥ Solarra ♥ ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 08:47, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Facebook posts and forums are not reliable sources. Plus if you look at the motives of this author he seems to have a grudge against the company. --Biker Biker (talk) 08:49, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks, Misplaced Pages is vast, still learning stuff :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 08:59, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Edit war

Your recent editing history at Samsung Electronics shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. See BRD for how this is done. You can post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection. - David Biddulph (talk) 09:18, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

David - look at the edits, they are pure vandalism by an editor who has a clear vendetta against the company. I have reported the user at WP:AIV and requested full protection of both Samsung articles. --Biker Biker (talk) 09:19, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

--Comment: I have also been monitoring the edits, the user is putting very poorly sourced material to the Samsung Electronics article. Biker Biker beat me to the protection request :-) ♥ Solarra ♥ ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 09:34, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Unsourced

Hello, About the Samsung page, my added text was deleted by you and the reason was "badly sourced material". I cannot identify any problems of my source, can you point out what the problem is, thanks. EDIT: Just saw that Facebook and Forum posts aren't good for referencing. Question: Are news articles and news videos good enough? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clse9451111 (talk • contribs) 09:29, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

Yes, news articles are an excellent source as long as the news organization is reputable. ♥ Solarra ♥ ߷ _{♀ Contribs ♀} 09:44, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!
