Since there are four entries on Wikipedia with names that are identical or very similar to George Avery, I propose a disambiguation page. --Melchior2006 (talk) 16:47, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

For spending half an hour reverting 80 or so edits by 24.30.235.210.
I tried to help, but despite all my F5-ing skills, I found that you reverted practically everything before I got a chance :). Do you have any advice about fighting vandalism? LittlePuppers (talk) 18:35, 31 March 2018 (UTC) |

I was on the vandalism page but I can't edit it, did you remember this guy, 173.56.19.140, the one who kept emptying the article Breaking bar? Can you report him? Thanks, and sorry for disturbance. HueMan1 (talk) 00:10, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
Hi Shellwood, the change I made on Avicii's page was due to the fact that I did not feel the method of his suicide had to be mentioned, it is quite graphic and could be unpleasant to read. I understand that that's not necessarily a reason to omit it but the method of suicide is not in my opinion very informative, in this case it may be better to omit the details. I am a new wikipedia editor and am not in the habit of leaving edit remarks. I will leave the decision of whether to keep or omit the details up to your better judgement. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lmomjian (talk • contribs) 22:10, 3 May 2018 (UTC)
Yeah. If it served a purpose I would totally understand including it. But it seems senseless and unnecessary. But that's just my opinion. Thanks. Lmomjian —Preceding undated comment added 00:10, 4 May 2018 (UTC)
Hello Shellwood,
I keep getting messages stating that I will be blocked with my disruptive editing. I'm honestly just trying to fix the naming conventions, because RED Digital Cinema names their products with capital letters. The way it is now (as lowercase) is not correctly matching how the cameras and products are named. Would you please let me correct any capitalizations, without being blocked? I can give you sources to show you how they name.

For fighting a wave of vandalism on the Cape Town International Airport article on the 14th April 2018. It must have been quite tedious rolling back so many vandals making so many attempted changes from so many different IP addresses.--Discott (talk) 15:53, 16 April 2018 (UTC) |

Hi, thanks for the vigilance, but I think corrections are constructive. I have The_Talented_Mr._Ripley_(film) recorded from TV and checked the scene in question to make sure I got this right. Your revert is a mistake: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Talented_Mr._Ripley_(film)&oldid=prev&diff=837277945 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dumol (talk • contribs) 20:46, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
Please refrain from nonconstructive criticism. As well, keep your opinions in check. You are no omnipotent arbiter on what is or is not relevant to people. So keep your opinions to the side and focus on editing out misinformation. Thank you.
I say this to every user who thanks me for edits, but thanks. I always love getting it, as it encourages me to keep going, and keep helping out. Rock on. UnsungKing123 (talk) 16:25, 20 April 2018 (UTC)

Hello I noticed you flagged my post for speedy deletion, I was wondering what is missing? Please do give my tips since this is the first new wiki page I've ever created.
Or maybe you could help me create the page?
Trilleplay (talk) 17:08, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
Hello you flagged my Wiki Page creation titled "Tristan Farkas" It is in my belief that the issues mentioned has been resolved, and that it now fufills all of the requirements. Please get in touch if you belive something is missing. (P.S some people already (including me) decided to contest the ruling that the wiki page shoud be removed, you mind taking a look at it, Thanks :P )
Best of Regards, Trilleplay
Hi There You reverted my changes to the Newfoundland Song "The Ryans and The Pittmans" I think you threw out the baby with the bathwater. Obviously the "bbbb" was a typo that occurred because of my finger hitting the 'b' by accident moving the pointer from the IBM speed ball on the keyboard, so sorry about that. However, the changes to provide a definition for "mainboom" instead of a link to an empty page were constructive, so I wish you had left that there, instead of reverting everything! Cheers
Will do, thanks for putting the good part back!

please try to understand that being a muncipal councillor means holding an office in the local government which meet the notability guidelines for a politician so remove the deletion nomination. 2nd Innings (talk) 11:52, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Wikpedia currently carries a US English Title and for this Topic and appears to be aggressively defending it. The Oxford Dictionary sides with Torch- a portable means of illumination, acknowledging the US word of "FLASHLIGHT" as an alternative despite this being used initially as a product description by manufacturer. Changing this would seem to be the correct thing to do. The word Torch, is, it seems , being adopted in US English to describe a Stick with with combustible material at one end, which is up to the US. However, if Wikpedia is genuinely to become a world resource, the world -wide name in use should take preference. Until this is the case, Wikpedia should carry a Language disclaimer at the forefront of any definition that the dominant content in Wikpedia will be US English and that the Definitions contained are only appropriate to The US. WIKPEDIA should also stop asking for donations from outside the US if they wish only to serve the one Language and region.
The same would be said in the Petrol vs Gasoline argument. More countries around the world say Petrol Rather than Gasoline but guess which one Wikpedia uses.
Often busy with Work.....? not when someone edits Flashlight though ???
https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/torch https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/torch
torch (plural torches)
A stick with a flame on one end, used chiefly as a light source; a similarly shaped implement with a replaceable supply of flammable material. The mob of angry villagers carried torches and pitchforks to the vampire's castle. THE US
(Britain, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa) A portable light source powered by electricity; a flashlight. - The Majority of English speaking Countries........
Ernst slipped and dropped his torch on the flagstones, shattering the bulb and plunging us into darkness. (slang, US) An arsonist. Short form for blowtorch or oxy-gas torch
Thanks for reverting DeusVultKKK (talk · contribs). I'm not warning them since I am certain they are a sock of the multiple vandals at blood curse (check out the edit history).

You are invited to join the effort to revitalize and improve the Portal system...
The Portals WikiProject was rebooted on April 17th, and is going strong. Fifty-nine editors have joined so far, with more joining daily.
We're having a blast, and excitement is high...
Our goal is to update, upgrade, and maintain portals.
In addition to working directly on portals, we are developing tools to make portals more dynamic (self-updating), and to make building and maintaining portals easier. We've finished two tools so far, with more to come. They are Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Discussions are underway about how to further upgrade portals, and what the portals of the future will be.
There are plenty of tasks (including WikiGnome tasks too).
With more to come.
We may even surprise ourselves and exceed all expectations. Who knows what we will be able to accomplish in what may become the biggest Wikicollaboration in years.
See ya at the WikiProject!

Hi,
Do you have any idea what this is about?
Acroterion has asked the user about this edit on their talk page but I thought I'd also ask you here as I have a feeling we're unlikely to get a straight response from the editor.
I wondered if it is someone's sock? The reason being is that they mention Courcelles randomly before posting randomly on the anti-vandal bot's talk page. Yet from the talk page history neither Courcelles or ClueBot NG appear to have interacted with the user before.
I'm just a little suspicious of them as the edit to ClueBot NG's talk page is very strange!--5 albert square (talk) 05:54, 7 May 2018 (UTC)

The page on the Beretta M1918 need to be eddited to remove WW1. No historian has found any proof the firearm was used in WW1 production of the firearm started in late 1918 If the Firearm had been used in the front some paper work would of been found by some historians on the weapons performance or at the very least there would be a paper trail of units being sent to the front we would know what unit would of hard them and what numbers. the fact we dont have those numbers say's it did not enter service till after the war had ended sicne we have documentation of those numbers after the war ended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StrikerofLife (talk • contribs) 06:58, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
A show called C&R Arsenal on youtube would post a link but Wikipedia does not permit youtube links are doing a show about all WW1 small fire arms used in the war. and as per there research and the research of people they use as sources witch includes Ian from Forgotten weapons . They were adopted in 1918 but did not see any battle time as per reports from historians. and trust me they been digging at any little use of a weapon on the front so much so the have an episode on the Krag because it saw service with 1 black line troop. it could of been adopted after the war it was just adopted at the time of the war. but adoption and serviced at two different things. The fact is no one has found historical evidence it saw combat or was actually issued to troops during the war. if your going to say it was issued durring the war a source would be needed not just the fact it was adopted the same year the war was on/ended. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StrikerofLife (talk • contribs)

I'm not sure is I'm doing this the right way but I'm trying to start a page on Ron Stallworth, the police officer that infiltrated the KKK and is the subject of a new film. There's a lot of information available on him, and I moved the info on Ron Stallworth the football player to Ron Stallworth (American football). Meanwhile I need to work through creating the new page on Ron Stallworth the police officer and add all the sourcing. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

In this article yadavs are mentioned non elite it's untrue. Many yadavs are land owing and having high number of cattles with them. Many sources saying that they are chandravanshi Kshatriya. These word and some false quotes hurts Yadav community.
Today Yadavs constitutes 20% of India’s population and over 3% of world population-in terms of sheer numbers this translate to 20 crores or 200 millions. Yadav’s are the largest race in the history of the whole world. Out of 223 countries in whole world, there are only 4 countries including India with over 200 million population. It has been truly said that yadav’s are not merely a community but a “nation” in themselves.
