Im sorry for vandalizing bro. I realized it was a mistake. We good? TheGoodHuman (talk) 21:12, 5 September 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for your suggestion (and for taking time to notice the edits were in good faith). I will take a few days to make sure it is a well thought out decision but most likely I will just quit (either via VANISH or simply log off). I don't think it is the same project anymore.

I do not necessarily disagree with your first point, and certainly, agree with your second! ——SerialNumber54129 15:20, 28 October 2018 (UTC) |
I don't agree with your premise but I do appreciate your efforts to improve the project.

If you look at the edit history carefully you will notice that I was adding a date of birth to an article whose Wikidata entry contains the same information, and whose German and Portuguese version already contain the same information. I provided an additional source with an authority file from the Library of Congress. The information was reverted at first erroneously claiming the Library of Congress did not contain the full DOB (of course it does), then that Library of Congress is not a reliable source by our WP:RS policy, and finally that the Library of Congress is somehow a primary source even though they explicitly refer to the source for their information. Yes, that lead to a back-on-forth of revisions, but calling this an 'edit war' is a stretch of the definition. --bender235 (talk) 16:13, 27 May 2019 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments at the BLP Noticeboard regarding the Halsey Minor article. Both you and the other editor said the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Jasonliveplanet/draftHM
proposed draft] would probably be better and more encyclopedic than the current lawsuit-oriented page. However, I wasn’t sure what the next steps are. What are the next steps to getting the draft implemented and/or otherwise addressing the issue? The article is affecting his reputation in the real-world so I am eager to get it fixed promptly while following Wikipedia’s rules. Jasonliveplanet (talk) 20:52, 13 June 2019 (UTC)
Hi there! I do have two replies to your note:
I won't pretend things didn't get too emotional, and I've actually backed off from the debate—it's been explained to me that on the off chance that there is a legitimate victim, we should err on the side of that victim, rather than buying into the alleged abuser's story of malice and corruption, and that is simply not something that I can argue against. I regret not coming to that conclusion on my own, I regret getting so caught up that I attacked some people personally, I regret creating a sideshow at DJ's desysop request at BN. I would point to any of that as a low point. But, the act of calling for the resignation of an admin who doesn't support the community is not something that I regret. The community governs this project, not admins. Admins merely exercise authority that has been delegated to them by the community. If you think an otherwise-good admin who doesn't trust or support the community (his words) should be an admin, we can agree to disagree on that, that's fine. You're not the only one who thinks that. TheDJ appears to have resigned because he didn't think it was just a vocal minority, and he wanted no part in that. He resigned because he disagreed. I don't mind you hosting anything that I said, but I think it misrepresents the situation to not acknowledge the two points made above. Regards, ~Swarm~ {sting} 20:37, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Govindaharihari, please try to refrain from filing arbitration cases prematurely in the future. The situation between TonyBallioni and Geni may have been tense, but the two administrators were in the process of resolving the matter between themselves without any further action being warranted. Arbitration is strictly a measure of last resort, to be requested only when other means of dispute resolution have been tried and failed. Filing a case request for a disagreement that was on the verge of being settled, particularly when every commentator was explicitly asking you not to do so, accomplishes nothing and serves only to add yet another layer of drama where none is needed.
I don't think you acted with any bad intentions, and I'm sure you meant well. It's just something that I think you should try to keep in mind going forward. Kurtis (talk) 01:56, 2 July 2019 (UTC)
The request for arbitration User:TonyBallioni's block of User:Starship.paint and User:Geni's unblock has been declined by the committee. The arbitrators' comments about the request can be viewed here. – bradv🍁 03:44, 5 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello, You had previously been of help over at the BLP Noticeboard so I was hoping you could look into something. This edit (diff) vandalized the Wikipedia article about this individual, by adding the words "despite having no class" to it. I work at the same company as this person so for WP:COI reasons I'd prefer not to revert the vandalism myself. Are you able to revert that vandalism? I know WP guidelines suggest that anyone can revert vandalism, but I really prefer to refrain from making any direct edits to articles related to my employer in any way. Kind Regards, JeffreyArthurVA (talk) 16:33, 15 November 2019 (UTC)
It's impossible to judge the assertion by Demon0143 that the image of Godse was politically motivated, but he isn't mentioned in that article...in fact, there's nothing about India before the 21st century at all! That seems like sufficient grounds for deleting the image. WQUlrich (talk) 09:40, 29 November 2019 (UTC)

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RHaworth. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RHaworth/Evidence. Please add your evidence by January 14, 2020, which is when the evidence phase closes. You can also contribute to the case workshop subpage, Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/RHaworth/Workshop. For a guide to the arbitration process, see Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration. For the Arbitration Committee, CodeLyokotalk 03:27, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for the nice welcome. I inserted a section on the Dunning-Kruger Wikipedia Page in 2018 but edited nothing until last week when I saw someone had rewritten that section and distorted the meaning, so I updated it. A problem I did not recall having in 2018 was organizing the References and ending up with duplicated citations at the bottom of the full article. I think before that employing the automatic wizard feature allowed the program to recognize that the reference was already in the list, and the correct citation number was assigned in the text. I'm going in next to see if I can clean up the references cited section. I've not been able to figure out how to do that cleanup yet.. Browndog1212 (talk) 21:11, 13 March 2020 (UTC) |
Hi. I have reverted your comments at BN. You are free to criticize the activity policy or question a user with advanced permissions as to if they need them, but you are not free to phrase it in such a way that is an attack on them. TonyBallioni (talk) 19:50, 24 April 2020 (UTC)

. TonyBallioni (talk) 15:45, 27 April 2020 (UTC)Manimajra was renamed as sector 13 legally by UT government of Chandigarh in January 2020 and by February 2020 the new name was finally declared to be written everywhere on papers. Below are links to the decision:- 1). https://m.timesofindia.com/city/chandigarh/manimajra-to-be-renamed-sector-13-residents-elated/amp_articleshow/73114749.cms .
Being a Indian resident, i would like to contribute to this new law which was passed by our government .
It is true that the proposal had been initially opposed in december 2019. In the initial proposal, names like Sector M or Sector 26 east were proposed. Here is the link for initial proposals made :-
(these articles were published in newspapers in 2019 which is old).
5)https://m.tribuneindia.com/news/archive/chandigarh/mani-majra-to-be-sector-m-863728 (This link i provided over here was published in Tribune India in November 2019 )
But soon the final decision was made which overruled the previous proposals and finally the new name for manimajra was concluded as sector 13 by the beginning of 2020. The next link (6th Link) was also published in Tribune India with the final decision which was declared in February 2020 :-
6)https://m.tribuneindia.com/news/chandigarh/its-official-mani-majra-is-sector-13-of-chandigarh-39042
Please help me by putting your vote in the panel discussion on the talk page section of Sector 13.
Here is an example on how to put your vote ___________.
Click on the edit tab and please copy any 1 vote you want to put from the above or you can put you vote by putting a * star symbol followed by 3 apostrophe marks ' ' ' and then writing your word for vote like support, agreed etc and finally closing it with again 3 apostrophe marks ' ' ' in the end.

I made an edit to the Lucas Cruikshank page earlier today with a brief description of his podcast and a link to the YouTube channel. This was rejected because there is already a link to his YouTube but I'm confused as the channel I linked is separate to his "Lucas" channel. Would it be better to link to the website https://brosbeforehoes.libsyn.com/ instead?
Kittysunshine321 (talk) 15:58, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Ok then apologies I guess I just thought it was allowed as every other youtuber with a podcast seems to have it listed on their Wikipedia page. Thanks for your response Kittysunshine321 (talk) 16:18, 5 August 2020 (UTC)
Hi Govindaharihari, I hope you are well. Regarding your recent edits at Kid Cudi, I'm not sure if you realized but in these three edits you violated the WP:3RR rule, which states: "An editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page—whether involving the same or different material—within a 24-hour period". You did so in less than twenty minutes, but I'm refraining from templating you considering you seem to be an experienced user. Please kindly be more careful in future, especially considering the editors you reverted did nothing wrong; everything was sourced within that Twitter reference, and per WP:TWITTER, self-published sources/tweets/Instagram posts are fine to use, so long as they don't make exceptional claims. Take care. Thank you. AshMusique (talk) 20:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)
