Please check before you accuse the subject of an article of vandalism merely because he tried to correct the spelling of his own name. A quick Google search would have shown that the unusual spelling is the correct one. —David Eppstein (talk) 05:19, 14 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not very versed in editing Wikipedia, and I don't have much time to look into right now, so quite possibly my edit was not correctly executed.
What I was trying to point out was that, as I read the "Elephant Joke" article, and then later scanned it twice and then again with a detailed scan, I could not for the life of me find the .^ symbol referenced in the note section at the bottom of the article, in the text itself, nor could I find any text in the proper article referring to "To Wales", text which was referenced in the "Note". So, I have to think that either that text was omitted, or something else was amiss.
In the note section, after the article, one finds:
.^ This joke relies upon being spoken rather than being read, "two whales" being a homophone (or near homophone) of "to Wales". (See wine–whine merger.)
[edit]ReferencesItalic text
But, where is, "This joke?" I couldn't find it in the text.
In other words to be succinct, the note section of the article refers to an item or items that don't exist in the text itself.
Sorry if my previous edit was confusing. Cheers, L LambertLorette (talk) 23:54, 14 January 2013 (UTC) Possibly if you are in agreement about the need for an edit regarding the "Note", then you would be so kind as to insert the proper edit yourself, if you wouldn't mind - otherwise, at this point, I think I'll just let it go for now. Thanks
Ps If you found the reference in the text, or you disagree with the edit for some other reason, please let me know...I'm here to learn.
I've been making some progress on Snuggle development recently and I could use your feedback. Specifically, I've created a work log that I plan to update every time I get a chance to work on Snuggle. My intention is that you'll be able to watch that page to track my progress so I can get your feedback on features when they are early in development. The most recent entry (also the only entry) discusses new functionality for interacting with newcomers via Snuggle. I posted some mockups in the work log that show how I imagine the new features to work and I could use some feedback before I start writing the code. Thanks! --EpochFail(talk • work) 20:30, 27 January 2013 (UTC)
Hello F. Why are we reverting an English spelling of "defence" to an American one : "defense" ? I`m talking specifically of the article "The Phoney War" which didn`t even take place in America and, in fact, America wasn`t even in the war at that time !--JustinSmith (talk) 09:50, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
Dear Sir,
I am amazed that you simply deleted the information that I included under the "Addax Petroleum" Wikipedia page. You state that the editing that was done was not constructive BUT you fail to realize that Addax Petroleum has been around since 1994 and should not simply be dealt with through the Sinoepc Wiki page (our majority shareholder since 2009). There are over 1000 employees at Addax Petroleum over 4 continents and we have only just embarked on building a comprehensive and informative Wikipedia page. We are Nigeria's 5th largest oil producer, Cameroon 2nd and just entered the North Sea trhrough a JV with Talisman Energy. You might also want to take into consideration that we are a very fast-growing company and will become much more prominent in the next 2/3 years.
FYI I also happen to be in charge of External & Government Relations at Addax Petroleum in Geneva and I would very much appreciate if you would restore in full the information posted under "Addax petroleum" yesterday afternoon. If you wish to learn more about us, our activities and unique set-up, do not hesitate to let me know but PLEASE do not delete information without giving us a chance to build a proper Wikipedia page. Indeed, it is difficult for firsdt time users and it does not help to have vigilante wiki users deleting any attempts to add content.
Very best regards,
Thomas Esdaile-Bouquet

Dear Fraggle81,
Thank you very much for taking the time to respond to my message. The points you raise are fair and I do realise that there is a pressing need to provide the numerous references that will free me of any suspictions of providing misguided information. My primary aim is simply to present facts about the company. Your points with regards to the quality of the editing are fully taken on board: I must admit being a novice Wiki editor, which makes it all the more time-consuming. As I indicated in the Talk page associated with the Addax Petroleum page, I will be doing my best to add as many quality references as possible over the next few days and weeks. Again, my sole aim is to bring quality information to the wider Wikipedia public and I suggest that you continue monitoring our page and do not hesitate to flag up potential issues that you feel might be contentious. I would much rather engage in an open and direct dialogue than see my first efforts wiped out.
Very best regards,

I just felt the page didn't have enough information on it, and seemed it was not finished. You don't have to, but maybe you could add more information so people can use it as a better source of information (not that it isn't)
I hope you will take in this message and add more information. Thank you.

I am Rajen Merchant, living in Toronto, Ontario. I saw you deleted my edits. If it was due to use of capital letters or other formatting issues, please correct it and post it for the benefit of other users. A PAPER PUBLISHED IN 1994 PROVED THAT THE STRESS CONCENTRATION FACTOR DEPENDS ON CURRENT (NOT ORIGINAL) VALUES OF a AND b. The article on wikipedia is way out of date (2013-1994=19 or at least 18 years). Use of original a and b values leads to infinite stress at the tip for a sharp crack.
I am way ahead in my research and preparing to write a book on elliptical/circular holes in thin plates. My mathematical tools prove that final values of a and b also depend on material properties, far field stress, and initial values of a and b. Furthermore, it also depends on definition of stresses and strains (published by wikipedia in related articles). I encourage you to have an open mind and correct the errors in that wikipedia article yourself. IT IS FOR THE BENEFIT OF WIKIPEDIA AND OTHER READERS. I want to provide the benefit of my research to wikipedia - that is my contribution to wikipedia. Rajen Merchant (talk) 20:39, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
There are only two ways. Either I edit it after a long time OR you edit it now. I started working on this project in Fall 2007. Until, April 2011 I was on the wrong track. Finally, I found out the right way. There is only one reference (that 1994 one) on this topic which had tried in the right direction - the current configuration. Even that had some errors. Hence, it ended up with wrong conclusions. Since April 2011, I have worked very hard on various aspects of this topic. I am extremely busy right now, preparing videos on this topic. For example, search for "Stress Concentration Factor" or "Elliptical Hole in a Thin Plate" in youtube. You will find my first video. The second one is almost ready. My research goes very deep into the topic - non-linearity, strain definitions etc. etc. It will take me a while before I learn your policies. In the meantime, I request you or someone you know can edit and let readers know the right approach. Otherwise, readers will still be behind almost 18 years. It is your choice.Rajen Merchant (talk) 00:37, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
Indeed, it is my original research which has a strong mathematical foundation. Even this part of mathematics is developed by me. That development helped me solve this problem. In my videos I will show that my results are better than any other results. Unfortunately, if wikipedia does not accept original research then it will be just reprinting what has been printed elsewhere - even if it may not be right. And in this case, what is on that page is NOT right. Readers of that wikipedia page will go to my website or elsewhere where I will publish my original work (a book perhaps which will show complete mathematical details behind those conclusions). Eventually, you people will recognize its value, accept it, and print it, to correct that page. It is already being accepted by some experts in the field. I will continue writing my book. As I mentioned earlier, the fact that a and b are from final (and not initial) configuration was published in 1994. Leaving aside my research which develops that concept to an incredible variety of solutions for various scenarios, the current wikipedia page is at least 18 years out of date. Someone should correct it. I brought it to your attention. Now, I leave it in your good hands.Rajen Merchant (talk) 02:55, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

The reason I changed 'projectable' to 'projectible' in the Natural Kinds article is that 'projectible' is the spelling W. V. O. Quine specifies when introducing this new term. I suggest therefore that it should be changed back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.145.127.112 (talk) 09:32, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
I changed his cause of death from cancer to AIDS and cited two sources. You changed it back and suggested my change was "not constructive." Wikipedia is about truth. The stated cause of death in Baker's Wiki entry is clearly false, although he died during a period when AIDS was still widely referred to as "Gay Cancer." I could understand your explanation if you were a family member embarrassed by his homosexuality and trying to hide the truth. But it strikes me as potentially homophobic to perpetuate a clear falsehood because you think it's somehow defamatory to reveal his true cause of death or his sexuality. Perhaps I've misinterpreted your motives but I think it's important to maintain the integrity of Wikipedia by publishing the truth whenever possible. Please revert to my original edit. Thanks. - Max
Mike rice jr The edit to mike rice jr was completely accurate...unless you're from Mars
YOU SEEM TO HAVE A DESIRE TO 'CORRECT' THE ARTICLE. YOU SHOULD BE AWARE THAT IT REMAINS A TISSUE OF LIES AND DOES NOT REFLECT REALITY. EVEN WHEN I SUPPLY REFERENCES THEY ARE SIMPLY REJECTED AND SOME SYCOPHANTS PERPETUATE THE ON-GOING DECEPTIONS. FOR EXAMPLE....NOTHING IS SAID ABOUT THE SENECO RESIGNATION; THE SCHISM WITHIN THE ENTIRE CHURCH; ALL THE PICTURES ON THE ARTICLE ARE FAKE...THE PARISH IS NOW GONE AND REFERENCES HAVE BEEN PROVIDED. HOWEVER - DAMN THE FACTS AND OFF WITH THE FANTASY.

Please correct me because I don't understand your edit?
I made and made an edit to an article that IS "out of date". I added current information because "I happen to like this band", and want to help out in any way I can.
If I did something wrong, please tell me, "exactly what is wrong", because I admit I'm just a novice Wiki helper and don't keep up with everything going on here.
I added current information under their tours listing:
Tours
In November 2006, they supported Motörhead along with Clutch.[3] They played at the heavy metal festival Sweden Rock in June, 2006 and again in 2009,[4] with bands such as Heaven & Hell, In Flames and Dream Theater. In 2010 they played at Wacken Open Air.
Added this:
They toured in the USA for the first time on the NORTH AMERICAN TOUR MARCH/APRIL 2013. They toured with CRASHDÏET and SNAKESKYN WHISKEY.
If the caps is the problem, I can easily correct it or if you have a suggestion on how to make it read better please suggest.

Regarding the changed to McFarlane Dianic Yule isn't a Celtic holiday and isn't a crossquarter. The edit was constructive in that it made the statement accurate both to what is a Celtic holiday/CrossQuarter and to the McFalan Dianic Tradition of neopaganism.
Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Website, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. SudoGhost 18:34, 18 April 2013 (UTC)

For having the top spot on the Stiki leaderboard - Camyoung54 talk 11:41, 4 May 2013 (UTC) |
I am not sure if I am writing to you in the correct place as I am new to this. But you changed something that I had edited. Nemo Me Impune Lacessit. You then left a message asking that I come to this Talk page and leave you a message if I wanted to question what you had done. As I have said I am new to this and therefore may have edited technically incorrectly for which I am sorry. However, I had looked up the page and I found an incorrect translation of the motto into Scots. Wha Daur Meddle with me? is very catchy and is taken from one of the Border Ballads recorded by Sir Walter Scott. In jest it has sometimes been used as the translation of Nemo Me Impune Lacessit but only in jest as it is a false translation. Now that many of us have no Latin Wha Daur is taken by many as the true translation this is very unfortunate for us in Scotland as it makes us appear ignorant to those who do know their Latin. the reference is the Scottish Field which is a sporting magazine not an academic text (in fact I would suggest it is likely that the journalist looked up Wikipedia for his information! ).
I don't want to be difficult but the currant page is misleading and as I am proud of my country and wish us to have the correct information at our finger tips I should very much like it were the page to be changed in the manner I suggested.

Dear Fraggle81. Here are a few examples of the poor quality of writing displayed on the Wikipedia article on Animal suicide.
"In Zimbabwe THERE WAS REPORT of a lion getting stuck IN WARTHOG HOLE after A PAIR OF LIONS CHASED THE ANIMAL into the hole." /// "In a pair of pet lovebirds, the male GOT an injury that killed him in one hour. [1] The female, witnessing the SUFFERANCE of her partner until he died, imitated all his movements, LIKE she would have suffered the SAME WAY LIKE HIM." /// "The deer did not realize the height of the bridge because they do not have GOOD depth perception. Even though the DEAR did jump to its death, ITS SAFE TO SAY that it did not want to die and simply chose the best option in its mind, that happened to still result in death"

My recent edit was correct, and the President who appointed Judge Seybert to the bench was in fact President Clinton. This can be verified by the fact that President Clinton was in office in the year 1993, by accessing the page: List of Federal Judges appointed by President Clinton, and also by accessing the link at the botton of Judge Seybert's page, Biographical Directory of Federal Judges. I updated the page since the indication that President Bush appointed her to the bench is factually incorrect.

As per the Hindu epic Kumarasambhava authored by Kalidasa (4th century AD), the name of the demon is Surapadma (Sanskrit) and not Surapadman. His brothers were Tarakasura and Simhamukha, and not Tarakasur and Simhamukhan. My edits were to correct the spelling of the names as per the original epic which I have read. Adding a 'n' at the end of the names of the demons are misleading - in fact, by adding a 'n' to Simhamukha, the name ends with khan which is not a Hindu name at all.

Fraggle81: You reverted several changes that I made to the Software Licensing entry. The errors that I corrected were spelling errors where the words I corrected used the British spelling, but the remainder of the article used the American spelling. For consistency and clarity, American English needs to be used, and it would be appreciated if you did not take it upon yourself to revert proper changes.
I assume you are referring to this edit. That was an error due to an edit conflict. In case you didn't notice, I rolled back the edit the second I noticed the mistake. -- Scorpion0422 03:13, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Fraggle81 - not sure why you removed my edit to the above.Maybe because the original article has been queried? However, the original objection seems to have been posted in 2009, and no action subsequently taken? Interestingly, the original article has been criticised for being a "personal reflection or opinion essay ".

I noticed you reverted a number of my changes (which certainly aren't complete and comprehensive yet, but still!), from the infobox to an extra section on details -- I'm a little confused why, as both of my citations (TimeTree, PubMed as Google Scholar is apparently not an acceptable source on # of citations) seem to cover all of the material. Should I be adding citations after every single sentence? My apologies, but I'm a little new on the protocol. Phylogeneric (talk) 20:35, 28 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi Fraggle81. Hope all is well.
The criticism left at this page is supported by the content of the publication.
The reason why specific quotes were used that originated from the site was to show exactly what was written, and to avoid engaging in any type of conjecture regarding opinions or speculation. What was put in the quotation marks is the word for word writings of the editor-in-chief of that site with links offered so that the full article can be viewed by readers. If there are other sections that may be objectionable with the criticism, I will definitely consider those and edit with that in mind. However the events that took place are supported by the facts as presented by the author of those articles, and this entry should therefore be given reasonable consideration as a 'criticism'.
Thanks for all you do.76.20.240.115 (talk) 16:41, 2 July 2013 (UTC)
Yes, you can feel free to link up to the articles that I posted at Wiki. I would like to have the work re-added so that an unbiased conclusion can be made on the content from the editor-in-chief of the publication. Thanks!

Thank you for your anti-vandal work on the article Chennai Express. It is very difficult for editors like me to work on an article which is vandalized every now and then and to revert them manually (I don't have rollback, Stiki or Huggle) is a painstaking process.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Hardwick Arms Hotel is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Hardwick Arms Hotel until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Velella Velella Talk 19:18, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made: you may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Citrusbowler (talk) (contribs) (email me) 01:15, 5 July 2013 (UTC)
Hello, and thank you for removing vandalism from Free on Board. This is much appreciated, but unfortunately your repair was not successful in restoring the article to its pre-vandalised state. For future reference, it is better to deal with vandalism by checking the article's page history to determine how it appeared before it was vandalised. You can then restore the whole article, or the relevant part of it, to an appropriate earlier version. If you simply delete the visible vandalism then any content removed or overwritten by the vandal is lost. See How to deal with vandalism for details. Thank you. --71.199.125.210 (talk) 19:58, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Do not leave the impression that Anthony Weiner was a race baiting politician after the Crown Heights riot, and then leave a foot note left by a left wing political paper. If you'd been there, you would know that Jews we singled out and assualted and killed during that period of time, directly because of political inaction of the then current administration that allowed racial tensions to simmer all through central Brooklyn prior to and after the riots. Any politician that ignored that fact, from the Mayor on down was tossed from office. Whatr was left on that wikipedia article was slanderous not only to Weiner, but the entire district.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.57.23.82 (talk) 03:48, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi I'm the one who edited the LSD page you reverted. I never vandalise, I respect Wikipedia and the people who edit it too much! However, this 'The supply of constituent chemicals including lysergic acid which was used for production of LSD in the 1960s and ergotamine tartrate which was used for production in the 1970s', which is what I edited, is wrong. I know because I am the Peter Simmons who made LSD in 1969, my chemist Quentin made it from ergotamine tartrate which I bought, and my understanding was that it came from Czechoslovakia, but as it came from black market source, that much is hearsay. It was ergotamine tartrate though. Sorry I didn't login first, I did register years ago, but forgotten my login/password and no time to try to find it. I thought I had signed it, but I'm not very conversant with how everything works, and protocols, so, I'm sorry if I did wrong! Knowing my IP was logged seemed enough. (talk)

I notice that, on the Boston Crusaders Drum and Bugle Corps article, you have reverted the latest edit making note that the corps is sometimes referred to as the "Bad Ass Crusaders." The truth of the matter is, the corps IS frequently known by this nickname, no matter what any of us might think as to its being right and proper. The comment has been deleted previously, and it will probably soon reappear. When I did a rewrite of the article last year, I let the remark stand for the simple reason that it was and is the truth. Some time thereafter, someone else deleted it, but it was back a short time later. Just thought you should know... GWFrog (talk) 06:59, 12 September 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you very recently undid one of my edits to the spain culture page and I wanted to explain my action. I have heard time and time again from professors that wikipedia is not a legitimate source for academic work as it is too openly edited by anyone. So my goal was to test this out.

Fraggle81,
0) I too share your appreciation and respect for Wikipedia, but you should be more careful before labeling improvements as vandalism.
1) Except for a brief warning by the citation on the User Page, my comments were restricted to the Talk section.
2) My comments were fairly constructive in citing specific errors I had discovered in the referenced table of critical values, hoping the professor who posted them or one of the statistical table authors would correct them. My point was to alert trusting users that the cited table had some misprints and/or misunderstandings of the published tables:
3) The cited table of Fmax critical values is not completely reliable.
The .05 critical value for 2 treatments and 7 degrees of freedom (df) should read 4.99 rather than 0.99; the .01 critical values for 3 df for 7 to 12 treatments are off by at least a factor of 10. For these latter cases the Biometrika Tables for Statisticians noted that their least significant digits might be uncertain by several units and (for example) wrote the entry for 7 treatments as 21(6) rather than as 216 to alert the user to that possible imprecision; the cited table ignores the final parenthesized digit all together, writing 21, which is grossly wrong.
Do you understand that I cited an appropriate authority for the critical values and how the poster of the flawed table had misunderstood what the renowned table was saying, informing users that the .01 critical value of Fmax for 7 treatments might be, say, 216 +/- 3, but the cited reference (as of today) still gives the critical value as 21?
4) I believe you failed to understand the content of my comments or check the cited table, probably because you are not a statistician. I don't want to play games with you by reverting my comments until you either suggest wording that you consider more appropriate and pledge not to vandalize a legitimate caution about misinformation. Until then, you are discrediting Wikipedia by making it a purveyor of misinformation.

Dear Fraggle81. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the article on Zdzitava "does not cite ANY references or sources." And Wikipedia asks for help to be able to improve it. The text about Zdzivata doesn't contain ANY correct information (apart from the picture). Chekkibreaky and Buttsnif lakes don't exist. It doesn't have any sister villages in New Zealand. There are no factories there and no backpacker ever got murdered there. ..should I continue the list? Should we argue about the concept of drunken teenage time travellers and how real they are? And that 22nd Annual Goatee Pioneer Awards never took place, same as the first 21 ceremonies? If you are able to prove me wrong, all this information can be publish on the web.

Hi, Fraggle81. You recently reverted an edit I made to the Re-Animator page, I believe implying it was not constructive (and maybe vandalism). I wanted to note that this was not at all my intention. The plot summary says:
"West and Dan track Halsey to the morgue, where they find Hill's body holding his head in a compromising position over a restrained Megan."
I find this extremely problematic. The scene in the movie is a rape scene, and it is disturbing. Anyone who is not sure about watching this movie, or looking for any kind of accurate summary, should know that what happens in this part of the movie is—fairly objectively—rape. Not "a compromising position." We would not talk about movies like Thelma & Louise as having a scene where Thelma is "almost put into an uncompromising position" because it's untrue. The current summary is not constructive because it does not accurately describe what happens in the movie. My edit was intended to fix that.

Hello Fraggle81,
I have contacted you before and I would deeply appreciate your help again. The administrator who welcomed me to Wikipedia has mysteriously vanished, another administrator does not know the answer to my question because it's not her field, a third highly experienced Wikipedian actually told me to do what I am contacting you about, and in a pertinent forum the only reply I received was from the Wikipedian who reverted my work, which I find inappropriate because you would think the forum is for receiving help from impartial seasoned users. I hope this doesn't look low class, but I have explained this issue so many times that I'm exhausted, so please forgive me for copying and pasting the way I presented the question in the forum today:
I'm a contributor to the Camille and Kennerly Kitt page. They have released several singles in MP3 format on iTunes and other similar sites, so a discography section was created, here: Camille and Kennerly Kitt#Discography. As you can see, the section includes release dates, the names of the tracks, and the harp duet type (acoustic or electric). Would it be acceptable to insert a link to the corresponding iTunes page next to each track name, since those iTunes pages are the ONLY way to support the release dates and tracks mentioned? Or would that be considered promotional? As we know, the contents of Wikipedia pages must have verifiable sources, and those iTunes links would be the only way to prove that the discography section is true. Here's one example: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/game-of-thrones-single/id551895996 Many thanks in advance for your time and help.
That's what I wrote there, Fraggle81. I would be extremely grateful if you could help me with this matter. Also, if you have any advice on how to stop the user who has suddenly taken control over the page by reverting edits, please let me know. Thank you very much.

This revert: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Normandy_landings&curid=252854&diff=574267949&oldid=574266378 did not revert vandalism, your user box "This user supports the English English language." makes me think you might have a bias when it comes to spelling, and altough I agree with you that the arbitrary changing of spellings from the brittish to the american is wrong, I do not agree that it is vandalism and when you label it as such it appears, to me at least, that you are trying to hide something.

Hello Fraggle81, My edits of the MacArthur Maze page were reverted. This was not a case of vandalism, but rather a correction of a poorly written page, referring to the wrong subject. The MacArthur Maze (I-580/I-980/CA SR-24) has been confused by many, including the author of the article, with the, "Bay Bridge Distribution Structure" (I-80/I-580/I880 interchange), otherwise known as, "The Maze", "The Triangle", and "The Emeryville Maze." I found that the correct page, "Bay Bridge Distribution Structure" had an improper redirect. I have corrected and copied the page back where it belongs, eliminating the redirect. I used a copy of the page as a template for re-writing the "MacArthur Maze" page. 946towguy (talk) 05:28, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
I am concerned about the revision to Sawbridgeworth - re the fluoroscope. I am afraid that this is A) of local interest as a cancer cluster waiting to happen, B) of interest to historians of the town as an example of how the town has anomalous features and C) of interest to historians of medical technology. I cannot cite a print reference, because as far as I am aware, it has never been discussed in print. I left a lengthy reasoning on the talk page, unlike other users who seem to never use it! And yet it is my post that got deleted! I'm sorry if this doesn't make any sense but right now I'm angry about people who seem to be whitewashing the history of my home town and dressing it up as a rural museum of "May Fayres" and some sort of "epicentre of WWII action". I'm just trying to restore some balance.
I left one message; not sure what happened to that ... I still don't understand the reversion. I have added numerous items to the history and geography of this page, and there don't seem to have been any problems. The piece I left is difficult to cite, since it is first hand eyewitness testimony (myself, I lived there 1970-1989 and intermittently for the next ten years. I believe it is A) of importance to local population and their health care providers, B) an unusual local curio and C) of interest to historians of medical technology.
Still not happy about the reversion but open minded enough to be convinced. If it can be explained that'd help.
Dear Fraggle81, I am presumably user talk:124.148.195.106 but I made no change to that site, indeed I have never looked it out. There are crossed wires somewhere. (29th Sept. 2013). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.148.195.106 (talk) 14:03, 29 September 2013 (UTC)
I made a slight edit to the kosher page, which you reverted. Currently it makes a comment about bats being included in the list of forbidden birds even though bats are mammals. In my opinion, this comment is meant to lead people to the conclusion that the Torah is flawed because it includes a mammal in a list of forbidden birds. However, it is not a list of forbidden "birds" in the modern scientific classification, it is a list of forbidden flying animals. Just like whales are a forbidden sea creature, even though they are mammals. If anything, the current sentence should be removed because it is not constructive. At the very least, there should be an explanation given, which is what I attempted to do. I just want to explain that bats are included because they are a flying animal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.4.169 (talk) 03:39, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
You have recently edited Malik Noureed Awan. Please see Talk:Malik Noureed Awan#Call for reasons why the NPOV/poorly-referenced version should stand and contribute your thoughts. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 19:07, 2 October 2013 (UTC)
Assalam-o-Alikum,
The above expression is a way to greet in Arabic. It means " be mercy on you".This is a normal way of greeting for us Muslims. Also it seems to be a fine example for you to understand that our religion is about kindness and respect. Now let me please get to the topic about reverting the changes. I changed Muhammad (PBUH) and wrote that it is customary to write Peace Be Upon Him after every Prophets name. It was rather more respectful then customary. Please revert back your changes as it hurts the sentiments of not only Muslims but also of christians and jews as Hazrat Esa(Jesus) PBUH and Hazrat Moosa (Moses) PBUH are also our Prophets. Thankyou for your co-operation and I hope as you have mentioned in your page you are kind and good listener, you would understand the changes that I made.
Regards Kamran Qureshi
Please do send me a link to a page which explains how to properly tag things as needing citation. I was honestly trying to draw attention to a reaction scheme which I could not verify parts of using professional chemical reaction databases (and which also contains some glaring mistakes). I was hoping the original poster might cite his or her sources. 129.67.116.130 (talk) 14:29, 4 October 2013 (UTC)
I am the publisher of all of Joy Berry's books. The changes I made were made at her request. I read your page on why you reverted changes and i still do not understand. Joy Berry asked me to change her picture to a more current one and link the descriptions to our web page. I only did one link to see how to do it and intended to do the rest over the weekend. I am going to hold off until I get a confirmation from you that this would not be reverted.

I do not know how to start a new "talk" thing but you deleted the addition of a friend of mine from the Lassiter High School page. You state that he is not notable....but you have other actors listed there. There is an IMDB page for Mr. Dow and professional references as do the other people listed on the page. Please explain to me why you feel you can modify something like that because YOU may feel they are not notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Unlvguy5 (talk • contribs) 10:38, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi there,
Thanks for your good work on the world's best encyclopaedia!
You recently undid a change I made to the English page of Tartuffe. I have had previous discussions about linking to this resource (see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:COIBot/XWiki/tailoredtexts.com and http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overleg_gebruiker:EdBever/Archief/dec_2011 ). The external site being linked to is i) unlike the other external link in that it is a link to the original French text but with a large glossary of man-made English translations. ii) of big interest to anyone reading the original French but who speaks English (and who is therefore likely to be looking at the English wiki site). iii) unique as the resource allows for multiple translations of individual words/phrases and cannot therefore be said to be the same as one single translation iv)unique in that it also allows for literary and grammatical analysis in the margins. There is no other resource like this for Tartuffe.
Please can you let me know why you removed it.
Best regards,
121.7.229.73 (talk) 02:51, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Dear Fraggle81,
Please check the article about MERV rating ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimum_Efficiency_Reporting_Value ). According to that, the phrase "14 or above" (which is the one that I changed) means that the filter shall remove airborne particles of 0.3 micrometers or smaller, in contrast to what the article "Air purifier" claims. Therefore, that article should be corrected, either by replacing the phrase "remove airborne particles of 0.3 micrometers or larger" with the one I marked by Italic style, or by making the change I did. The latter choice is preferable because the value of 13 MERV rating defines an unambiguous lower bound about the filtered-out particles' size, making the phrase "13 or bellow are rated to remove airborne particles of 0.3 micrometers or larger" consistent with the article about MERV rating (under the assumption that that article is correct).

I would like to apologise in regards to the vandalism of the Wikipedia page "The Revolting World of Stanley Brown". I do suffer from hyperactivity and sometimes I can be a little bit idiotic.
However, I feel as if you should not have deleted the quote on poor ratings as this is true.
In the meantime I will attempt to help you by reverting any vandalism on Wikipedia. It is the least that I can do after this error.

Thanks for the apology and I hope you do go on to make constructive edits. Make sure you know what you are doing before making edits though please as you are likely to find yourself in more trouble. I notice on your userpage you say "Also we need to censor all swearwords for the comfort of younger users." - No we don't, please see WP:NOTCENSORED Thanks Fraggle81 (talk) 15:53, 26 October 2013 (UTC)
Indeed, I apologise again and will delete the comment on swearwords now.

Hello, thanks for the message
I was given a warning for correct information on the singer James Arthur and I was rather annoyed at this. I have made an edit on some pages about Lego, and from now on I will make constructive edits. However I am still awaiting information from the user EurocarGT on why he/she removed the information. Also to note that I will in future be more patient and as you said I will "give things a go".

City As School is an alternative high school in NYC. It might be helpful for parents reading this entry to know that this alternative school provides the tools to achieve a higher education. Famous people are sexy to read about but doesn't assist families with a failing or troubled student in making a real choice in their child's education. It would be constructive if the alumni list referred to other college graduates. Wendy Prince — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wendyellenprince (talk • contribs) 15:05, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi this is Courtney Eastman. As requested by me and MY HUSBAND, we do not feel it's appropriate to have ANY info on Julie Strain in his personal life, it was a long time ago, and way too much is on there, say a sentence or two if you feel it necessary. And please stop telling me to change it, because we both will keep changing it everyday until it's appropriate.

Hola, thank you for alerting me of your reversion of my edit Niggas in Paris. I actually disagree with your decision - the section I edited covers remixes and freestyles, and I think frequent performances by what is perhaps Germany's most successful rapper at the moment clearly warrants inclusion. --Simon Columbus (talk) 23:43, 9 November 2013 (UTC)
Hi I saw your reversal of my edit in List of Kings of Swaziland . I changed the year of establishment from 1780 to 1745 because that is the beginning of the rule of Ngwane III who is considered the first King. His death however is in 1780 when Ndvungunye becomes the king. I can point you towards all literature which shows that the mid 1700s are the widely accepted date of establishment. I also added that Sobhuza I is also known as Ngwane IV this is well known and a non-issue.

Hello, I saw that you had reverted changes from User_talk:129.100.254.158 before on the University_of_Western_Ontario page. I see that this user has made two recent edits:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=University_of_Western_Ontario&action=history
To my eye, they don't look right, but I can't back it up. The change in enrolment numbers seem to be taken out of thin air, as I can't see that number in the linked PDF. And the missing sorority doesn't have any reference.
My inclination is just to revert, but I can't say 100% that the edit is incorrect. Can you help?
Thanks William Spaetzel (talk) 19:00, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
I don't make too many edits to Wikipedia, sorry for the gap in getting back on this. Predictably Irrational has a link to an iOS app in the sidebar that goes to a 404 page. My edit from September 12, 2013 was indeed minor, but necessary to ensure users going to the page get the app and not a 404 page. I've verified the change myself just now - the current link is bad, whereas my edit links to the companion app to the text. The link I provided routes to a forwarder created by the publisher of the app, a link I found after searching around the 404 page I reached via Wikipedia. An alternate link directly from the book's website is []. Thanks for keeping Wikipedia vandalism free, but I believe my correction was valid and improved the article, albeit in a minor way. If you still disagree, let me know why - I'd like to get better at this.

Although I appreciate your effort to minimise SPAM on Wikipedia I feel that in this case you are mistaken. I am sure if you would really like to check the legitimacy of my change that you would find this confirmation on Toby Evans status as being a newly signed halfback to the parramatta eels NRL club on their website. I appreciate that he does not yet have his own Wikipedia page, however I am a die hard parramatta fan and am in the process of doing so now. With all respect may I suggest that you conduct a simple google search on topics such as the one I posted yesterday before diving straight in to undoing other people's work.

I updated the article to include information for concluded court cases which the article said were still pending. A dollar amount for damages sought was wrong in the article by a factor of 1000. I posted sources for all updated information. Your revert vandalized the article by reintroducing outdated and incorrect information, and you failed to validate the need for the revert. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.1.120.32 (talk) 18:55, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
