your edits on Opotow

Hello, I saw that you very recently updated the wikipedia page on Opotow. My grandfather is from there and we are wondering who you are, and what your connection to this place is. Please do me the small favor of replying to me at jwat899@aim.com. We are really trying to gather as much as we can on Opotow, and my grandfather's early life, before the Holocaust.

thankyou for your mail 'ben ben' i would like to point out that my edit was hardly 'vandalism' i fail to see ow you would suggest this. it is nearly a trustful edit of a page titled 'Charlotte Jones' who happens to be a close friend of mine, unfortunately she shares a similar name to a play writer. i fail to see how this resorts to your slightly offensive email. it is not appreciated.

Discussion

It is obviously incorrect, you only have to view other wikipedia pages to know this. I was in the process of correcting this page. If you would like to verify, please view the wikipedia page on sperm whales and view their teeth. Or view animal planet, or discovery, or any number of thousands of other publications. I have hundreds of citations as I have studied sperm whales extensively. Would you like references? Respectfully, Backedupinfo 06:40, 7 May 2011 (UTC)Backedupinfo Hello. Yes, please name reliable sources for your edit. --Ben Ben (talk) 06:48, 7 May 2011 (UTC) How about the other wikipedia page?!?!!?! sperm whales Or are you saying wikipedia is not reliable? If you would rather: “Sperm whales with severely mangled jaws have been seen in perfect health, apparently catching food just fine without the complete use of their teeth.” http://www.oceanicresearch.org/education/wonders/spermwhales.htm *****Showing they don't chew or tear up their food***** “….however, because of the rapidity of the flensing operations and the need to gather other biological data, we were able to collect samples of cephalopod beaks from only 157 stomachs. All stomachs contained at least a few cephalopod beaks. The number of beaks collected from each stomach ranged from 1 to 57, and the total number of beaks was 2060 (not including beaks from whole specimens, crowns, and buccal masses). All of the remains collected represent a minimum of 1700 individual cephalopods.” http://spo.nwr.noaa.gov/tr83opt.pdf U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service *****Showing they don't chew or tear up their food***** “After the whole bodies and heads were identified, the beaks were removed and compared with other beaks in the samples.” .” http://spo.nwr.noaa.gov/tr83opt.pdf U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Marine Fisheries Service *****Showing they don't chew or tear up their food***** “They feed on several species, in particular giant squid, octopuses, and demersal rays.

No, the wikipedia page states that "there is no currently known sea creature that could swallow a grown man whole" and that "The sperm whale, on the other hand, has "a small mouth... Its food is torn to pieces before being swallowed," The funny thing is that it even links to the sperm whale page which obviously shows this to be incorrect! --Backedupinfo 07:19, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs) Do you have a response or was it that you are just not happy with facts? --Backedupinfo 07:25, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs) Ok then, if I correct the information on that page are you going to revert it yet again? --Backedupinfo 07:34, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs) Yes, according to Sperm whale#Feeding I would revert you again. --Ben Ben (talk) 07:47, 7 May 2011 (UTC) Are you a little kid?

Is the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National Marine Fisheries Service not good enough for you? Did you even read it? I could sit and play the revert, revert war thing with you too and use alternate accounts just like you. But I really don't want to play that game. It is sad that you have some sort of an agenda here. Why not deal in facts, I have presented several. “The throat is capacious enough to give passage to the body of a man; in this respect presenting a strong contrast with the contracted gullet of the Greenland whale” http://pds.lib.harvard.edu/pds/view/14343622?n=45&imagesize=1200&jp2Res=.25&printThumbnails=no Is Harvard good enough for you? Or how about the whole chewing and tearing of food,... “Sperm Whales have 20-26 pairs of cone-shaped teeth in their lower jaw. Each tooth can weigh as much as one kilogram. The reason for the existence of the teeth is not known for certain. It is believed that they are not necessary for feeding on squid. The current scientific consensus is that the teeth may be used for aggression between males of the same species.” http://www.whale-images.com/info/sperm-whale-facts.htm Now please, I have shown many facts, now show me some of your own. --Backedupinfo 08:42, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs) And seriously, stop logging out, and logging in another account. That is annoying.

I am rather impressed. Honestly maybe you could teach me a few things about how to navigate this site? I don't know how to watch pages or even look up a user again. I literally just learned how to do the signature and the reverting thing LOL. I know a bit about things in the Ocean, math, physics, but not really wiki lol. If you have some tips for me, I would appreciate it. Truly I am not trying to make an enemy, I just don't like seeing info on my favorite, beloved whale incorrect. I almost got to swim with one once, they truly are normally not very aggressive to people, unless provoked and are more like the Baleen whales in that regard. --Backedupinfo 09:09, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs) http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A471548 Oh man, this is a blog about a fictional book! ...Anyone can write for the Guide, which already has thousands of entries on all sorts of subjects... “The throat is capacious enough to give passage to the body of a man; in this respect presenting a strong contrast with the contracted gullet of the Greenland whale” http://pds.lib.harvard.edu/pds/view/14343622?n=45&imagesize=1200&jp2Res=.25&printThumbnails=no A travelogue from 1835. Commented on [3]: Joan Druett, in her very interesting book Rough Medicine: Surgeons at Sea in the Age of Sail (Routledge, New York, 2001) writes of Beale: "Thomas Beale's Natural History of the Sperm Whale was in fact a travelogue rather than a book of natural history, http://www.whale-images.com/info/sperm-whale-facts.htm They have teeth, and? You should really read WP:SOURCE. Read it twice.--Ben Ben (talk) 09:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC) So all the other references then are fake because you don't want to believe one that is an eye witness testimony? It's not in the fiction section I assure you. But if you don't like that one it's ok. Also have you studied the anatomy of a sperm whale? I don't know how to post pictures in chat but I have diagrams you could view if you like? And what is the part about "They have teeth, and?" I think the part about the teeth is spelled out clearly, they can't chew or tear things up like that, it would require an upper pallet of at least a few teeth. Are you having trouble with the other links then? I have even more. But I am beginning to think this has little to do with facts for you considering your comments. The links I have provided should be enough though honestly. Especially considering the NOAA report about finding whole specimens with 11.0, 12.0 and 12.5 LRL's which is Lower Rostral Length. That report was actually prepared for a congressional hearing. Also the BBC report should be enough. Also did you know you can just type into Google "sperm whale vs Giant Squid" and view videos and see what Discovery Channel made to represent what they think an actual attack looks like? There is no known footage that I have ever seen of a real attack considering they normally happen at about 1000m down LOL. That is actually how we originally were able to study the best/freshest Giant Squid and Colossal squid was from the bellies of the sperm whale. They used to cut them open by the hundreds and documentation is actually easy to find in marine biology. Unfortunately a few countries still hunt them for 'research' and they have tons of documentation as well. --Backedupinfo 09:37, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs) Also I have asked for your documentation saying they can't. Do you have any other than a link not showing an actual quote. And also from a guy that isn't even a marine biologist he just is a director which requires completely different degrees and qualifications having nothing to do with Cetology. But honestly I would like to see his quote and not a generic link to a museum or aquarium's home page. --Backedupinfo 09:52, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs) Man, your constantly insisting on your point is crossing a thin line. I have commented your sources. I would suggest that you carry your point to Talk:Sperm whale. There, unlike here, you will have a chance to be read by people that are interested in whales. --Ben Ben (talk) 10:14, 7 May 2011 (UTC) I still would like to have an open dialog about this with you. I apologize, but I do not feel that comments like "They have teeth, and?" is commenting on the vast amount of facts I have presented. I do not feel that you have adequately reviewed the information presented and I feel you are letting personal bias intervene. You would not comment on any of the other links, quotes, or information I have presented in any sort of a discussion format. The page is incorrect as you can tell by the sperm whales page and at least the part about tearing up their food should be corrected if you can't agree on them swallowing their prey. The references for the part about them not having a large enough mouth for that are generic and lead to home pages for the museum and an aquarium and are not links to where a quote can be viewed. You will not provide any alternative references, yet will continually not recognize any of mine except the only one you feel is not good enough. I can tell you feel very strongly on this subject. I am tired, I will check again tomorrow, on my account. Please re-review this information and also provide adequate references of your own. If you have not, I will be forced to reference this page to higher authorities for review. --Backedupinfo 10:37, 7 May 2011 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backedupinfo (talk • contribs)

Alhambra College Preparatory High School

Not sure why it's such a target for vandalism relative to other new school articles. I had a reference about the principal and an explanation of why it's affiliated with a school district yet a charter high school. (Go to their website and look closely at the background image for pulldowns in the navbar – it's the logo of the Alhambra ESD!

Pauline Maier page - help the newbie

thanks for the help on the "Pauline Maier" page. This is my first attempt at expanding a stub of a bio that featured one book of the author from one publisher from 2005, with a link to the publisher's page. My kids gave me her 'Ratification' for Christmas, and I've been trying to do a spectacular career some justice more than that. (I'm 60+)

• Maybe you can help me.

Last night and again this morning, I tried to add "George Washington Book Prize nomination for 2011." alongside the 'hardback editions', 'Ratification' first line. It did not show on the 'preview page', but on saving, it shows as saved in my 'edit' code but it still does not show on the page. As I closed out last night, it seems I had opened the 'pauline maier' page more than once, or opened it once, and using the internet explorer to look elsewhere online, came back to it in that second launch, making a second access to the 'pauline maier' page. Does that automatically block me from editing? If so, how is that unblocked? TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 09:29, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello, you simply forgot to close a <ref> with </ref>. Therefore the text "George Washington Book Prize nomination for 2011." was shown down in the references. Please check my edit closely, I'm not sure if I have gotten your references.--Ben Ben (talk) 09:57, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

that did it. thanks. sorry to panic. this is way harder than it once seemed. not just the coding. writing in a balanced encyclopedic fashion is horrifically demanding as a genre. I keep rewriting my own stuff, and then recasting my rewrites to try to make a coherent article. And then I keep discovering more facets to the business, like confidentiality concerns of living subjects (duh). My admiration for wiki editors who can stick with it has just soared. TheVirginiaHistorian (talk) 10:15, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your kind words. The wiki syntax sometimes seems to be malicious to me, too.--Ben Ben (talk) 10:41, 8 May 2011 (UTC)

I Undid an Edit You Made

As the subject says, I found an edit with over -2,800 character difference, so when I checked it out you deleted a huge chunk of the Total Drama: Revenge of the Island page, so I undid it because I was pretty sure that it was simply vandalism. However, checking your edit history showed that you are a serious editor, so I'm wondering: Was that a mistake? Or was there a legitimate reason to delete all those paragraphs? Sorry if I was mistaken in undoing the edit. Soloman212 (I'm new here, so sorry if I put something in the wrong place.) (talk) 16:25, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

No, this vandal was only a tricky one. Copying an existing part of the article again into the article gives a lot of green lines, so it doesn't look like vandalism at the first glance. Hint: Infoboxes usually start at line 1, not at 204.--Ben Ben (talk) 16:52, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

Oh, and I saw "WPCleaner" and thought it was a Bot. No worries, Shearonink (talk) 17:49, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Slammiversary IX

What's the point of this?  Chzz  ►  12:31, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

That--Ben Ben (talk) 12:33, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

I understand that edit, but I was asking about the first one.  Chzz  ►  12:36, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

The first one was a c&p attempt with me forgetting do delete the 'subst' from the template. I'm human, not a bot. See my edit summary on my second edit. --Ben Ben (talk) 12:41, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

OK, fair enough. I had a quick look at contribs, and I think you might've also messed up refs on Traditional Chinese medicine.  Chzz  ►  12:44, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Undid the edit on Traditional Chinese medicine. Something went wrong with the References duplicated function in my editor.--Ben Ben (talk) 13:54, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Borna

Hi, Borna is my name. I edited the page Borna because it actually is a name and I just thought I'd add that to the page. I don't understand why the edit has been taken off, please tell me so I can know. And I'd appreciate if you could put it back because I don't think it violates the rules. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bornabanafshe (talk • contribs) 22:43, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi Borna, what you want to know is described in Help:Disambiguation.--Ben Ben (talk) 22:56, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Claude Le Péron

Hello Ben Ben. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Claude Le Péron, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Salvio ^{Let's talk about it!} 00:02, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks and sorry, I was to fast clicking and to slow thinking. --Ben Ben (talk) 23:40, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

Pilger

Dear BenBen, Christine McKinney did (and does) believe that 9/11 was an inside job and her views should be seen in that context. Actually my sister worked on the Pilger documentary and her boyfriend Alan directed it so I think I know what I am talking about! If you actually watch the programme, you will see that his fundamental complaint Israel is that its representatives speak English and are quicker off the mark than the Palestinians. By the way, if you don't speak perfect English, what are you doing editing English language entries when you cannot understand the nuances of the language? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.186.22.240 (talk) 22:34, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

I think my English is good enough to say you that you have clearly failed to name your subject. What are you writing about? --Ben Ben (talk) 23:25, 4 June 2011 (UTC)

It's called The War You Don't See. AKA the entry for a programme that you deleted without checking the facts first! Just look up McKinney's entry in Wiki - it backs up what I posted.I think this underlines my assertion that many people editing for Wiki do not understand what they are reading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.186.23.241 (talk) 09:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Inserting citations into names like you did is a clear sign for me that the editor wants to push his POV. I usually stop reading at this point. BTW here name is not Christine. --Ben Ben (talk) 13:26, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, Cynthia. Is that the best you can do? You just ignore the points I and otjers make. What is the point of you being an editor? Why do you protect anti-semites by the way? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.186.22.243 (talk) 15:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

So, now after you have stated that you run out of arguments could you please stop widdling on my talk page? The article about Civilly is easy to find, easier than AIV.--Ben Ben (talk) 16:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

You do not seem to understand a word I say, and having read some earlier posts by other people on other subjects, this is not an unusual feeling. I think you should just quit as you are pretty hopeless at your self-appointed role. You never did answer my question about why you protect Press TV. Are you anti-Israeli? Good luck in life and in learning English. If you manage it, let me know and I'll buy you a teddy bear or your next birthday. Would that be 8 years old or 9?
