Disambiguation link notification for December 3Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited The Township Act of 1798, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Somerset County and Fairfield, New Jersey. 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.

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 09:06, 3 December 2015 (UTC) Recognition and "hiya!"On a recent Halloween night after many troops of children in various costumes (mostly TV and movie characters and princesses and such) had given the correct salutation and been given their due rewards, it had rather gotten late. Alone a boy walked up the path and rang the bell. I saw him in his plaid and sash and other regalia and instantly remarked "Oh, a scotsman." "Finally!!" he blurted. It would seem that in my benighted land I had been the only one to recognize his costume. I was the more pleased, I think. Since I'm usually not very quick of thought, 'what?' seemed fitting without being off-putting. One wants to be quirky blandly. Fun fact: you can obscure 50-75% of the center of Chinese characters and most can still be accurately recognized by the bits that stick out the corners. Same with me! :-) Shenme (talk) 06:11, 10 December 2015 (UTC)

Hi Wintery, thanks for your edits to this article. Just a reminder that headings use sentence case where only the first letter of a heading is capitalized (see MOS:HEAD).

Cheers!-- BC talk to me 06:52, 4 February 2016 (UTC) Just a note, the McCallum paper isn't original research, as is meant in Wikipedia. It is a peer-reviewed journal paper.

Hey Wintery, I just noticed you changed the title to this article. Titles use the common name of the subject of the article. It is not always necessary to translate a foreign title into English. My personal opinion is that the title should remain in Portuguese. For the real scoop on this, see WP:TRANSLITERATE. All the best.-- BC talk to me 17:41, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lexus LC 500h
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Lexus LC 500h requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. 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 Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

This reversion you made, while I completely agree with it (the IP removed a lot of content), didn't appear to be blatant vandalism. You also didn't warn the IP on their talk page (something you want to do).

Its one thing to revert the structure, because its "neater", its another to eliminate greater content in favour of an uncomplete list. I reverted your "neater" version because you removed many additions to the list of castles in addition to photos and wikilinks to existing Wikipedia articles. Feel free to remove the columns if you wish, but seriously consider the fact that my content addition expands the list of castles by incorporating a comprehensive list from the Portuguese national register (SIPA).ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 22:10, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

It appears to me that the IP that was blanking parts of Hadith of Najd was confused by extracts from WP that were quoted in an online forum. That said, a check to see if that is really true (I have a plane to catch and don't have time to read it through) and a check for POV would be advisable. In the future report this sort f thing to AIV rather than reverting over and over. Clean blanking is less disruptive than straight-up vandalism and it can live as blanked for a while. I haven't reverted the last removal pending review, but I did block the IP. Acroterion (talk) 08:20, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi. I saw your vandalism report at ANI, and I wanted to point out that Twinkle has a really cool reporting option that can get vandals blocked very quickly. If you click on Twinkle's "arv" tab, it opens up a window for reporting users to a few different noticeboards, including WP:AIV. If you report vandals to AIV, they usually get blocked much quicker than if you go to ANI. Plus, sometimes people get a little grouchy when you report vandals to ANI. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 01:45, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
The IP is correct that he/she was reverting vandalism on this user page. I have been tracking down the edits by a different IP and two user names, all the same person apparently. That user has been placing invalid speedy deletion tags on article pages and placed one on User:Cactus Writer. Another sock has been placing invalid documentation templates on various pages, perhaps to disguise the speedy deletion tags or perhaps as additional vandalism. In any event, I have seen that the IP who reverted the edit on User:Cactus Writer had picked up on the vandalism by the other IP and socks and was attempting to revert it. No criticism here, just thought you would like to know. Donner60 (talk) 02:23, 24 March 2016 (UTC)

I saw you reverted my edit. Why does the material I removed not require a reliable source? 129.22.1.13 (talk) 12:55, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited List of Superfund sites in Pennsylvania, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Logan Township, Pennsylvania. 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.

There have been several back-and-forth edits to the Nevada City article regarding the population of Pacific Islanders according to the 2010 census. On 14 Feb, 2016, a user from 72.185.221.20 first incorrectly changed the figure to 1,187, and changed the population from two or more races to 439. These numbers conflict with the figures provided in the reference cited in the article. This was corrected by 2620:0:1008:1100:48a3:8d2d:5f12:f217 on 1 March, 2016.
On the same day, you reverted the corrections with the comment "double check the sources". After noticing that the numbers didn't add up and the percentages weren't correct, I double-checked the source and found the following:
Population by Race | |
---|---|
White | 2,837 |
African American | 26 |
Asian | 46 |
American Indian and Alaska Native | 28 |
Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander | 0 |
Other | 40 |
Identified by two or more | 91 |
On 28 March, 2016, I corrected the page so that it matches the provided reference. The same day, you reverted the correction again with the comment "You have to use census data."
I would like to request that you clarify what you mean with these comments. If you can cite census data that shows 1,187 Pacific Islanders and 439 of two or more races in Nevada City, then provide the reference. The reference in the article clearly shows that the figures you keep reverting to are incorrect, not to mention that they are demonstrably wrong using simple math (1187 is not 1.2% of 3068; neither is 439 0.4% of 3068). If you cannot provide a reference, then please revert your changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Savastio (talk • contribs) 13:29, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Savastio I do make mistakes. Feel free to change it back but cite it please. Winterysteppe (talk) 17:54, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
The Geobox template is the standard definitions established at the template page, but with modifications by myself to apply to the Portuguese context. If you wish, you can find it on my home page or just reuse the template. I find that the Geobox format is more flexible then the simple predefined format for castles, allowing more content and well structured organization. Also, Winterysteppe, you might want to add four "~" to the end of your messages, so that your signature is included in messages. I almost didn't understand from whom the message was originating. Good luck. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 20:36, 31 March 2016 (UTC)

Hope this information helps. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 20:58, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
Yes. I am adding content to the castles articles, depending on my time and referential resources. I am being selective on which ones I add at this time, but at the same time, I am moving names from the Portuguese to English variants and adding categories, accordingly. As I am writing, I have an article in development on the Castle of Alenquer, and have already expanded Alcanede and Alegrete today. As you have already noticed, I expanded your article on Rebordãos, in addition to Castle of Mau Vizinho (Vila Real) and Castle Fortress of Almeida within the day. Please note, regarding your translations, please take content from PT Wikipedia with a grain of salt. It is a "wild west" environment over there, with little referencing and supported "facts", many times taken from Portuguese sources verbatim (ie. copyright violations per Wikipedia). Also, do not run translations through Google Translate and copy-paste them into the EN Wikipedia article. I have come across too many translations from other writers that translate inappropriate things, and produce the weirdest mismash of illogical statements. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 17:31, 1 April 2016 (UTC)
Why include the request for expansion from PT Wikipedia? As I indicated before, none of the content that hasn't been already referenced from PT Wikipedia has already proven by verifiable sources. A request for expansion will result in people adding false/unproven content. On the other hand, if you want to indicate that content came from PT Wikipedia, then there is another template for that. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 10:42, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Hey Zeorymer, i was wondering, do you think it woudl be good to import articles and then modify them? Winterysteppe (talk) 04:39, 7 April 2016 (UTC)

In appreciation of your efforts and diligence in translating and expanding stub-class articles in Castles of Portugal namespace. For a long time these articles had remained incomplete and/or static. Good work. ruben jc ZEORYMER (talk) 20:58, 6 April 2016 (UTC) |
LOL thanks Zeorymer I appreciate it. I like the castles and I thought the pages could be benefited from some edits in Castles of Portugal. Winterysteppe (talk) 22:39, 6 April 2016 (UTC)
Hell Winterysteppe. WIth this edit you removed a report that had not yet received any admin response, and was less than 48 hours old. Please restore it. In general, reports shouldn't be removed until 48 hours has passed since the last edit. That is the archive timeout shown in the noticeboard header. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:35, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Archiving after 4 days diff. Seems very hasty. Could you explain, please. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk) 03:50, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Starting a new section because it looks like you're creating a lot of problems. I originally noticed that you archived an active RfC at Wikipedia talk:Videos. Now I see that you archived to Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)/Archive 21 -- with no extant Archive 20, Archive 19, etc. (it uses a different archiving system). Please stop and fix/undo. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 04:29, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Please don't manually archive talk pages when they are being auto archived. Not only can manual archiving easily and unnecessarily lead to errors, but you have also removed more threads than the five thread minimum that the auto archiving bot leaves on the talk page for clarity. Thanks, Editør (talk) 08:41, 8 April 2016 (UTC)
Call me a little hasty. Didn't realize some threads were active. Winterysteppe (talk) 12:58, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

Hi, Winterysteppe. I see you requested a block on my page, to work on your exams, but then changed your mind and asked HJ Mitchell instead. That's fine, just let me know if you should want me to block you after all, in case Harry's not around. But it's good to not be hasty about these things — sleep on it! Bishonen | talk 15:47, 8 April 2016 (UTC).
Bishonen Hi, I took at my edits and it had 1k edits in 24 hours. I was a little hasty so i ask for weekend self block for now. Wikipedia is getting addicting. Jeez. So I must ask for a weekend block. 100% serious. Winterysteppe (talk) 16:00, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

User was the recent victim of an attempt at impersonation. If you received a warning seemingly from them that makes no sense, it is very likely this came from the imposter instead. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 00:04, 13 April 2016 (UTC)

You would have been justified in simply reverting their edits (as long as nobody else had replied) - this was obviously a return vandal because they knew their way around warning templates and suchlike, and edits made in violation of a block and/or ban can always be reverted, especially when they are pure harassment. I don't think it's the same troll who has targetted me; the BethNaught impostor was the one who's been after me, their style is quite distinctive, but the person impersonating yourself and Oshwah seems a bit different. A CU will hopefully be able to tell which return troll it is. --bonadea contributions talk 06:49, 13 April 2016 (UTC)
