Hi. Regarding you saying "you removed not only the description but the reference for each release", I checked some example refs before removing them, they list only "Security Fixes and Rewards". Regarding the significant changes, those pages say for example: "Watch out for upcoming Chrome and Chromium blog posts about new features and big efforts delivered in 62" -[[User:Lopifalko|Lopifalko]] ([[User talk:Lopifalko|talk]]) 09:53, 23 October 2017 (UTC) |

== syed hasan askari - Requesting to undelete the page == |
|||
Dear David, |
|||
Kindly assist in undeleting and restoring the original page Syed Hasan Askari (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syed_Hasan_Askari) or the latest draft (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Syed_Hasan_Askari) which I created earlier with the help of several wikipedia editors. I first created the Facebook page of Syed Hasan Askari (https://www.facebook.com/professorsyedhasanaskari) as I am grandson of late Prof Askari. Then I created the wikipedia page of Syed Hasan Askari (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syed_Hasan_Askari) based upon my Facebook page of Syed Hasan Askari (https://www.facebook.com/professorsyedhasanaskari) therefore the reference etc should not be in violation of copyright as both pages were authored by me with references. If you still have concerns then you can assist in removing the contested FB reference or restore the page so I can edit it out but kindly restore the page so academia can benefit from it. |
|||
Due to this reason, requesting you to restore the page Syed Hasan Askari (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syed_Hasan_Askari) at your earliest possible convenience. |
|||
Kindly let me know if you need additional clarification and information. |
|||
Thanks in advance! |

== On punctuation, in general. == |
|||
I'll get back to you... [[User:Wikidalien|Wikidalien]] ([[User talk:Wikidalien|talk]]) 20:13, 30 November 2017 (UTC) |
|||
== Random punctuation == |
|||
On my, according to some, here, random punctuation in my article edits: |
|||
{{cot|collapsed incoherent drivel from editor who can't write in English}} |
|||
There has been a general decline, particularly in American culture, since, shortly after the advent of the Internet (that word, by the way, is ALWAYS capitalized), and particularly, the 'World-Wide Web', in what used to be considered, 'good' English grammar. |
|||
But a trend towards degeneration has been firmly set in place - mainly due to ignorance of the rules of the language, and, sheer laziness of attitude and that, mainly in punctuation, spelling, syntax, grammar, etc. This, I well remember, was predicted early on by veteran computer users, and, in particular, those who were writers. |
|||
This trend, of course, is due to the influx and influence of the general populace, which, seemingly all at once, introduced a 'lowest-common-denominator' policy on textual communication, by people who, typically, were not at all familiar with keyboards, namely typewriters, as used in textual communication of any kind. This has affect the comprehension and interpretation of said communications, to such a degree, that, more than 80% of all Internet-originated, textual communications sent by, even close family members, are misunderstood by the receiver, and another 80%, of any given message's content, is not correctly interpreted. |
|||
Punctuation, is the 'flavor' of a statement, or clause, as it relates to the previous, and the following statement or clause. As the eye perceives any good artwork, you are being guided - sensibly, and rationally through it, by way of proper punctuation. |
|||
See how easy, and conversational that was to read? Now, try this: |
|||
"There has been a general decline particularly in america since shortly after the advent of the internet which by the way is always capitalized and particularly the world wide web in what used to be considered good english grammar a trend towards degeneration has been firmly set in place mainly due to ignorance of the rules of the english language mainly in punctuation spelling syntax grammar and etc." |
|||
No, I wouldn't want to have to read it again, either. |
|||
There is, also, probably something else to consider. That is, your personal familiarity or unfamiliarity, with the language and how you learned to speak it, and, how you read it. |
|||
If you're under about the age of 30, then you, and those before you, are speaking it differently. Your 'discontinued use' of - what used to be required adeptness in - the intricacies of English grammar, doesn't make my memory, and my retention of it, wrong. |
|||
Good writing should resemble, even mimic, oral conversation. Punctuation gives a string of ideas, or a clause - or a string, or a progression of clauses - clarity, and sensibility. See that? If you didn't quite catch it, read it again. |
|||
According to Strunk and White, a certain amount of 'literary freedom', is granted to the writer, who may wish to use it as a literary 'device', or, in such a way as to emphasize something, which, may not present itself, readily, to the reader. Punctuation should present, properly, the idea proposed, in a way that fits, and suits, the desired, chosen way of expression of the writer. The way it is written and punctuated, depends on the content, dialect, phraseology (British, or American) emphasis of content or idea, and, even local colloquialism. |
|||
DO NOT criticize, or otherwise reprimand me, for my application of something, that is going to assist you, in the understanding, and readability, of each idea, as it occurs, and is presented, in a way that, in the end, makes your reading experience, one, of better, overall comprehension. |
|||
Now, read that rather lengthy sentence again - this time, with no punctuation. Have fun. |
|||
DO NOT try to minimalize my level of continued, and, continuing education, unless, you are quite well-prepared to assert comparisons. |
|||
If, at this point, you didn't quite catch what I just said, read it again. |
|||
If all else fails - I'll do the writing; you, do the reading. |

== 2017 Military Historian of the Year and Newcomer of the Year nominations and voting == |
|||
As we approach the end of the year, the Military History project is looking to recognise editors who have made a real difference. Each year we do this by bestowing two awards: the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Awards#"Military_historian_of_the_Year"|Military Historian of the Year]] and the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Military_history/Awards#"Military_history_Newcomer_of_the_Year"|Military History Newcomer of the Year]].

https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Milton_Keynes_Council_election,_2015&action=history So I edited this article to provide Wiki-links to the respective towns involved in the election, and that's all I did. I see no difference whatsoever besides the new Wiki-link titles, but for some reason the 'View history' section tells me that I've whacked off 3.5+ kilobytes of data. I'm extremely confused. |

== Mendoza, Texas == |
|||
Hello David... I received the warning you gave me telling me that I would be blocked from editing the next time I added unsourced content to Wikipedia, as I did in [[Mendoza, Texas]]. What I don't understand, though, is why you gave me that warning even though I did give it a source at the end. Was it the coordinates and the degrees of latitude and longitude that I didn't source? I did source where it stands with the [[Handbook of Texas]] as my source. Will you please tell me what I did wrong, and why I received this warning from you? That would be really appreciative of you for doing so! I want to do as many edits as I can! [[User:Colman2000|Colman2000]] ([[User talk:Colman2000|talk]]) 05:02, 11 December 2017 (UTC) |
|||
: The edit which provoked my warning was {{diff2|813912974|this one}}, in which only part of the section which you added was sourced. You had been warned on numerous previous occasions for adding unsourced material (including material similar to this edit), so you ought to have been more careful and ensured that everything you added was sourced. In general it is better if discussion takes place on your own talk page where the warning was given, so that other editors can see an unfragmented discussion. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph#top|talk]]) 08:24, 11 December 2017 (UTC) |

Thanks for the nice bunch of BBB - I am, as I have already made clear to you - the author of the document you refer to as stolen from "https://web.archive.org/web/20170227064121/http://englishessaypartners.co.uk/data/documents/William-Lever-and-Edith-Rigby.pdf" Moreover, the website [englishessaypartners] belonged to me before I deleted it. My research on this subject - Edith Rigby and Roynton Cottage - was published in the Bolton Evening News in June 2013. My paper/article is well written (sorry for that) and referenced and cited to academic standards (sorry for that as well) What exactly do you want? Should I rewrite it, but like an antiquarian (ie badly)? <!-- Template:Unsigned --><small class="autosigned">— Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Fairchristabelle|Fairchristabelle]] ([[User talk:Fairchristabelle#top|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Fairchristabelle|contribs]]) 20:33, 18 December 2017 (UTC)</small> <!--Autosigned by SineBot--> |

== Editing the Geography section of Mendoza, Texas == |
|||
Hello David... I saw your reasoning behind why I was given a warning that I was going to be [[Wikipedia:Blocking policy|blocked from editing]] without further warning the next time I added unsourced content to Wikipedia, as I did at [[Mendoza, Texas]]. I understand that I was given several warnings about adding unsourced content to Wikipedia, and I know that I shouldn't, but sometimes my mind just plays tricks on me. If you are wondering where I received the distances from, I received them from [https://www.bing.com/search?q=Driving+Distance+from+Austin+to+Mendoza,+Texas&src=IE-SearchBox&FORM=IESR3A&pc=EUPP_UE04|here], to where you can just type in the name of a city and the distance from that city to the community will be shown. If this is not a good source, then please let me know. If I convert them, I don't know if I will be blocked for not sourcing that material. Also, with the most recent warning you gave me, I disagree with [[WP:USCITIES]] saying that you should remove the coordinates from the Geography section if they are also located in the infobox. Why is because it is shown on many articles of incorporated cities and towns in the [[United States]]. Take the article of [[Johnstown, Colorado]] as an example. The coordinates are in both the infobox and the geography section. This is also used in articles such as [[Lockhart, Texas]] and [[Manchester, Ohio]]. To be honest, this is still kind of confusing, and I am still kind of new to this. I am still trying to get the hang of editing on here, and I will continue to get help if I need it. I also feel like I should've read the guidelines and WikiProjects before creating an account on here. I also found it foolish to remove all of the messages from my talk page. I didn't take notes showing how to use copyrighted material left on my talk page, and I regret every negative thing I have said. To make it up to you, will you please read what I wrote, and tell me how you think I should do this? Also, I want to be able to be alerted to your talk page, so please don't forget to add "ping" in front of my username, and I will look at what you wrote ASAP. Thanks! [[User:Colman2000|Colman2000]] ([[User talk:Colman2000|talk]]) 03:26, 7 January 2018 (UTC) |

: My view is that if you needed to do calculations to work out the distances to put in the article, you should have left out the distances, but if you wanted to include them the Bing search included numerous links, one of which could have been used as a reference if it supported the figure you were using; note that a Bing search URL itself ought not to be used as a ref because the results can change from time to time. I believe that there was one distance in the handbook reference which you used, so of course it would be reasonable to include that one. My most recent warning to you made no mention of [[WP:USCITIES]], but perhaps you are thinking of an earlier [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Colman2000&oldid=814045440#Mendoza,_Texas warning from another editor]. If you disagree with the guidelines in [[WP:USCITIES]], the place to discuss your disagreement and to suggest an improvement is not here on my talk page but on the talk page of the guidelines. It is unwise to use pages which don't comply with the guidelines as an example, as there are many pages which were written in ignorance of the guidelines and there is a limited number of volunteers who might have noticed. If you wish to choose examples to follow, it is better to choose [[WP:featured articles|featured articles]] or articles with a high rating on the relevant project's [[WP:WikiProject Cities/Assessment#Quality scale|quality scale]]. You can always go back to read the advice which you received on your user talk page, as it is still available in the page history. On your final point, I do not make a habit of pinging anybody who asks questions on my user talk page, as I expect them to put my page on their watchlist if they choose to ask the question here. --[[User:David Biddulph|David Biddulph]] ([[User talk:David Biddulph#top|talk]]) 08:23, 7 January 2018 (UTC) |
|||
{{ping|User:David Biddulph}} Thanks for writing. I will add you to my watchlist, and thank you for telling me that Bing search URLs change overtime. I will leave a message on the [[WP:USCITIES]] talk page discussing my disagreement. I also agree that I could have used only the distance where the community is from on the [[Handbook of Texas]]' official website. I will be more aware of what I am doing. Cheers.

Hello David, Thank you for reverting my edit of [[The Boat Race]]. You are correct in pointing out that it was me (or rather a mate on my laptop) who made the first edit, I attempted to change it more carefully after your feedback. I was just wondering in what cases I had edited the wrong sections, I'm new to Wikipedia so trying to work it out! Any help would be much appreciated although I have now read several tutorials and will imminently attempt edit no. 3 [[User:Perry2764|Perry2764]] ([[User talk:Perry2764|talk]]) 18:20, 8 January 2018 (UTC) Perry2764 ([[User talk:Perry2764|talk]]) 18:16, 08 Jan 2018 |
