A Simple Plan genre and Years Active

Dear material scientist . The original simple plan genre is Pop punk Alternative rock Pop rock . Simple plan nothing with power pop. Many of simple plan songs are the genre that I said in above this . Pop punk songs like Welcome To My Life , Shut up , Perfect , I'd Do Anything , I'm Just A Kid , When I'm Gone , Jet Lag , Addicted , Ordinary Life and more . Alternative rock songs like Save You , Astronaut , Your Love Is A Life , Crazy and Boom! Pop rock songs like Summer Paradise , I Can Wait Forever , Take My Hand and more . And there no power pop songs by simple plan . Simple plan years active in 1999 not 2001 OK .

Derek Hall

Hello, I am Derek's grandson and I am attempting to update his page while I'm with his wife, Hilda, and his daughter, Sharon. The only proof or citations i have are those of his wives words, but I believe she is more reputable than any citation you may have.

Nailed Dead Risen

Hey about the section on "Nailed. Dead. Risen." I added cites so can you check it and tell me if its good enough now? Thanks buddy.

DRN Case

Hi Materialscientist, just wanted to ask if you will be participating (at this time) in the Health care in the US DRN case? You can opt in and out at any time, as participation is voluntary, but be aware that discussion may stall if you do opt out which will cause the case to be closed. Cheers, Drcrazy102 (talk) 04:10, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No. I have no slightest interest in this topic, and don't know why I'm being invited there so vigorously. I do revert vandalism/spam/COI/etc. and fix references on a wide range of articles; this does not make me an active contributor there. My actual topical interest (in terms of article creation/expansion) is much narrower. Materialscientist (talk) 04:39, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Apologies for any annoyance, but you were listed as an "involved editor" in the dispute case filing; hence the questions. With no replies, we asked again. Again, apologies, and I will remove you from the listings if you are agreeable to that? Cheers, Drcrazy102 (talk) 05:02, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

HBCU reverts

The content removal on the conference pages along with the two schools and the Florida Classic has been going on for a week most likely by the same person using various IP's. It started with User talk:98.254.46.182, which is currently blocked. I've just been doing a blanket revert of all edits each time and don't know how a complete block of this person can be done. Maybe the first half of the addresses can lead to a specific location that can be blocked. Here are all the IP's that this person has been so far to check the contributions pattern:

I just saw that you have already blocked the first two a few days ago and blocked the last one today. Thanks for the help. Msjraz64 (talk) 04:36, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Materialscientist, I have tried to update the horn furniture article with further sources. Unfortunately the changes can not be viewed? Kind Regards,

Regarding Agshin Mehdiyev page

Hello, I updated his page on wikipedia. Because he asked me to do that. I worked with him for recent 2 years.

Vandalism Edit War

Is it allowed for me to have kind of an 'edit war' if a user I've already reported to Wikipedia:AIV keeps blanking or vandalizing a page, then I revert his changes and he reverts mine and etc. Regards, Dat GuyWiki (talk) 10:59, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Three-revert and edit warring rules do not apply in cases of clear violation of more basic wikipedia policies (vandalism, spamming, removal of some maintenance templates, etc.). Materialscientist (talk) 11:03, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

69.118.199.174

This IP has a months-long history of making small changes to BLPs to insert unsourced dubious material, including recently adding the nickname "Wildy" to a BLP's article. The IP literally seems to do nothing else. You put an anonblock on it back in May, and the tag is still on its talk page, but it's vandalized several times since. valereee (talk) 12:49, 27 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mark Little (footballer)

Hi

There is no one documented source, the player in question hasn't been in the starting line up for a few weeks - the only way to source the information would be to link to the BBC website's report on each game. I was just trying to be helpful as I go to watch every game and see it with my own eyes.

Europeans´antiques

Dear Materialscientist, many thanks for your advice. I will try to include more references with my article about horn furniture.

Hi Materialscientist! I just want to tell you that you are the best admin ever on Wikipedia!!!!! You are protective, advanced, intelligent, forgiving, etc. --166.175.58.128 (talk) 00:13, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

calcium citrate

I wonder if you could do a structure for calcium citrate (http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/zaac.201100088). The current one in the chem box is nonsense. Many thanks Petergans (talk) 07:07, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I need a structure file in some form. Among Ca-C-O-H compounds we have only whewellite in our CIF database. I'll try to find it elsewhere. Materialscientist (talk) 07:14, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Plotted, but the interpretation of bonding is not trivial. The structural images in http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/zaac.201100088 are also an interpretation. Materialscientist (talk) 03:30, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Great! Thanks very much. The co-ordination around Ca is very unusual. The dimeric units are held together by 4 bridging oxygen atoms of carboxylate groups. One minor comment - a bond between the two Ca centres of the dimeric unit is very unlikely. Petergans (talk) 10:12, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for comment, I'll check this at work tomorrow. Bonds is drawn by software, and the operator has limited control over the bonding conditions. People who know the field, like the authors of 10.1002/zaac.201100088, tweak the resulting image (manually or via software options). I was concerned that my image is rather far from the cited article in many ways, and didn't think about the Ca-Ca bonding. Materialscientist (talk) 10:24, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Ca-Ca bonds should not be there. Materialscientist (talk) 11:09, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

What about now, is my edit acceptable?

Romanian-and-proud (talk) 11:01, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Why are they necessary?...

No seriously, why do you have to put all the others in "Romanian Armies in the Battle of Stalingrad"? Afterall, it's the ROMANIAN Armies we're talking about, and the article itself is dedicated to Romania. Why can't you let it be fully Romanian?...

Hi Materialscientist, I know Terbium very good. I'm also the owner from different purities of terbium. None of a terbium sort are soft enough possible to cut it with a nife. Please can you me say the side from the CRC-handbook where I can read it. This: "soft enough to be cut with a knife" is nonsense. --Alchemist-hp (talk) 13:02, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

C.R. Hammond in "The elements" in the CRC Handbook says that terbium can be cut with a knife; he says the same for many other lanthanides. Of course this statement is not scientific, as it depends on the knife material and on the knife user (housewife or heavyweight weightlifter). I only worked with highly pure, but rather small lanthanide samples, and thus couldn't judge their hardness. Materialscientist (talk) 00:26, 29 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

nu wa

i am sorry if you thought that my edit (about nu-wa being in popular culture) was not in good faith but it was 100% truthful and i was just writing to make this clear. please tell me what made it look untruthful as i feel if you had looked it up you might of found it too be true.

thanks...

I am so happy that there is a page on Kasturi Sivarao garu. I am his grandson. I and my mom would like to share more with you about my grandfather so that you can showcase it to the world. kindly drop a mail to <pandusupernova@gmail.com>.. awaiting your mail. Thanks

Quick block request

Could you block me indefinitely? I'm trying to test an interwiki thing with Commons, and I don't know if a self-imposed block would work equally well. I already tried it with my backup account, but it didn't work (even when the account wasn't blocked), so I'd like to try it with this account. I'd like an indefinite block so that I don't have to hurry; it would be annoying if I couldn't complete the test before the block expires. Please disable autoblock, and please use a rationale that makes it clear that (1) this is a block for technical purposes, and (2) nobody should complain when I unblock myself. Thanks! Nyttend (talk) 22:49, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done (forgot #2, but should be Ok). Materialscientist (talk) 22:54, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Are you familiar with C:GR? It says If the replacement was done by a file mover or administrator (verify) according to our policies, do not block this user as it would be useless, but it seems to be wrong. I put c:File:Fnbosubgourodbwaofebosgosub foubug.png into my sandbox here, and after you blocked me, I moved it to c:File:Shorter title.png after checking "Try to replace usage immediately using your user account". You can see that the file rename didn't happen here; it stayed at the gibberish title. I then moved the image back to the previous title, unblocked myself here, re-renamed the Commons file, and it worked normally. Am I misunderstanding something, or is the bit about "as it would be useless" in error? Meanwhile, see [1]; it's possible to use RevDelete when blocked. Have you ever heard a discussion of whether this is intentional or not? Nyttend (talk) 23:04, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Ugh, my brain is not awake enough to understand the problem :-). When I rename on Commons, the corresponding local rename on en.wiki is treated as my personal edit (not bot edit). This local rename would be blocked if my en.wiki account was blocked, no matter what Commons policies say. Materialscientist (talk) 23:13, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That's what I mean — as I read it, C:GR is saying that blocking the en:wp account won't stop the replacement ("Unwanted replacement edits under user accounts other than bots might be prevented by using the AbuseFilter"), but in fact, the block really does stop replacement. No more comments from me until you respond, so that you can sleep and understand better :-) Nyttend (talk) 23:17, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, there is this section at the bottom [2], which basically repeats my message above. As to the top part, C:GR can't impose rules for local wikis, such as blocks. Materialscientist (talk) 23:28, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

excuse me? and who are you? dont ever bother me again.

the danse society wiki page

hi Materialscientist i am the founder member of the band and continue to perform under the name the danse society.the page is very inaccurate and biased . i did not not leave the band walk into the sunset to leave the woman singer and her guitarist boyfriend to be the danse society and live happily ever after .unfortunately the truth full version of events keeps getting changed or vandalized and i dont have the know how to reference stuff.i would appreciate it. if may be you could help with this .there is alternate danse societys this one actually tours and records, owns the trademark and the ltd company .it has a web site face book page twitter and a new album out .wiki should not be used as battle ground to put out disinformation to the benefit of another,s agenda . the last version of the danse society split up and it was not unexpected .the person who edited this inaccuracy are the people in the other version of danse society which goes against wiki principles where any thing can be true and as it is seen as a world wide reference. it is wrong that it should be allowed to remain as unbalanced as it is. in someones favor.there is always two sides to a story , except i cant seem to get mine on wiki. yet i exist in the real world and play real shows un like the other version ..

Ralph Doubell

Hi - any luck in using an alternative photo? One of Ralph? Or at least take the current photo down?

There are two alternatives on Getty Images that I imagine are also free. [[3]] [[4]]

No, these two are copyrighted. Materialscientist (talk) 05:33, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Right - so can we take the current picture down until we find a replacement?

Sure, but first, what it your evidence it is another person? Do you have an idea who that might be? Materialscientist (talk) 23:27, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From speaking to my father - he thinks it is an amateur Tasmanian athlete that he couldn't name. My evidence would be all the other images of Ralph that are online. How might I be able to disprove the image? Or can you suggest where I would find an image that is copyright free? I tried to contact Athletics Australia and the IAAF but have not received a response.

That image comes from the 1968 Olympics, thus I doubt it is an amateur Tasmanian athlete - there were very few Australian runners there [5]. I wonder if you spoke to your father, maybe you could upload a public-domain image of him to Wikimedia Commons? Materialscientist (talk) 23:15, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This image definitely is not a member of the Australian '68 Olympic team. Certainly not of any of those listed in your source. Best guess is it's a South Australian Athlete called Chris Woods who came 3rd in the '65/'66 800m Australian Championships.

I will look to upload an image - but are you also able to see if you can find an alternative free one? I'm not familiar with copyright laws and not sure where to source them.

Covered up vandalism

Hello Materialscientist, thank you for fighthing vandals. Unfortunately, this edit only reverted the then latest vandal, leaving this previous vandalism in the version that appeared to be OK'd by you. I know, it's a pity that the easy reversion feature induces one to not look at the previous edits. — Sebastian 21:43, 30 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gallium nitride + water

Hi

There is an odd thing on the gallium nitride page. In the property table on the right it says that it reacts with water but on the bottom it says that bulk GaN is biocompatible. I don't see how that can go together. I think the reacting with water is incorrect, but I have never worked with the stuff, so I am not sure.

Thanks for the note on the Sustainability colleges page. I don't really know how to do what needs to get done to get the edits back on. The information is all from the Prescott College "Academics" page here. http://www.prescott.edu/academics/index.php

I'd be grateful if you could let me know what to do? In particular, I'm not sure what the proper protocol is. Do I revert the edits that were quashed and then add in the website? Is there a problem with citing the website as a source? Do I have to copy and paste the text? Thanks!190.121.93.230 (talk) 05:02, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Addition

Sir Yes sorry. I have arrest warrants. I will have to do some research on how to do this being new!

How is adding a space after a comma vandalism?

This is very insignificant but it is bothering me more than it should. On the page for "Noble savage," there is an instance where there is a comma with no space after it: "He is here denying the right of a prince, who is threatening him with death,to put him to death..." It made it hard to read so I simply added a space after the comma to make it correct. My edits were then reverted by two different users for not being constructive, and then I was told that what I was doing was vandalism. Why do people revert changes this small if there is nothing wrong with them? How does something like this warrant such swift and consistent confrontation? I guess I just don't understand Wikipedia

Cease your paid shilling for the Coal Industry at once!

This is a place of Truth, not for paid lies spread by Coal Industry Spokespersons. Thank you.

2600:1017:b429:1f5e:5cc5:cc13:5953:bd9a - Materialscientist is not a paid scientist for the coal industry. It is simply his Wikipedia username. Please remember to assume good faith; messaging users with "guns blaring", as you did here, is not a good way to inquire about Materialscientist's reversion of your content. It does not focus on content but instead focuses on the person, which is discouraged behavior. It would have been much better if you had just asked why he reverted your content. Please keep this in mind when you interact with other users. Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~ (talk) (contribs) 12:18, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Edit of Photoelectric Effect

Dear Materialscientist, I write in response to the talk about this edit. New to Wiki edit, I accidentally overlooked the edit summary part. Sorry for that. The edit concerned that as far as my limited understanding (I know you are a PhD in physics so let me be humble), in classical wave theory, the intensity of an EM wave depends on the amplitude of the electric field strength and magnetic flux density (to be more precise, either one only as they are related with a factor ). We may also refer to the expressions for the energy densities of EM waves in terms of electric field strength and magnetic flux density, i.e. . The expressions show that the wave intensity does not depend on frequency or wavelength. In fact, this webpage explicitly says that photoelectric effect is not expected to be varied by a change in wavelength/frequency in classical wave theory. Please let me know if I have made any mistakes. Thank you so much.

Musical Instrument Page

hello. i made a small chaqnge in the page listed above. i changed what type of insturment the air horn is, since trumpet is NOT a group of insturments; i read about it on wikipedia and found out what it was. i changed it to that because i would like to help edit that page. if this wasnt the edit you were talking about, i remember the page i did research on i also edited it, though it was probably alright as it already was.

Material scientist: I fail to see how it is not constructive. the edits in question clarified that the Church based in Rome is not the only Catholic churches and is lead by the pope. Lutherans, Anglicans, Orthodox and many consider them to be a catholic church even though they do not follow the teachings of a bishop in Rome. Whilst I don't intend to argue the reformation ( :) ) I do find it helpful to clarify (and Educate) for others the common ground and that the Catholic church extends beyond the monocracy in Rome. Of course I recognize that many who follow the bishop of rome, may disagree and have for many years tried to persecute protestants, but don't you think its time to get us all together and recognize the commonality of the judeo/christian/muslim faiths?

non:contructive edit

Information icon Hello, I'm Materialscientist. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Québécois has been undone because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Materialscientist (talk) 10:34, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Materialscientist, no I don't think you've made a mistake. I'm new here and do not yet understand functions like sandbox or where to write if I find a page problematic without changing it. Yesterday I found the page Culture of Quebec to contain information about the many culturally important anglophone Quebecers & therefore was unsure if it was not erroneous to preface a link to such a page as French. It was for this reason that I reconstructed the page to reflect a more precise description of the page linked within. Leifou (talk) 17:40, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Edit

Hello there's a edit is like to make on a welding page. Adding a image could you help me out and explain how I would add a image onto the Wikipedia welding page? Andthenew16 (talk) 10:16, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Start by reading WP:IMAGES.
Note that the main thing about adding images to articles on WP is that the image has to come from Wikimedia Commons, or Wikipedia itself (I would strongly recommend Commons instead). You can't embed an image that's out on the web, the image must be hosted by Wikimedia.
There's also the question of image copyright, which Wikimedia takes very seriously. Andy Dingley (talk) 11:03, 4 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

RfA nomination Qed237

Hi.

I write this message to you as you are one of the administrators that I come in contact with on a regular basis.

The reason is this nomination at my talkpage from a editor that I dont have talk with very much, but I see him/her editing the same articles. I have been nominated by others before (never nominated myself), but in those cases I withdrew immediately, before voting started, because I did not feel ready.

Now I wonder if you, as an administrator, have any comments regarding this nomination or perhaps even questions? Do you think I have any chance of becoming an administrator and that I should move on with the nomination or should I withdraw? What is my next step?

Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you. Qed237 (talk) 02:03, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

  • User:Qed237, if Materialscientist mislikes it not, your numbers look pretty decent--active on the boards, and you've created a lot of content. It's on sports, so it's boring biographies and stuff (haha), but something like this doesn't look bad at all. I have run into you here and there and I don't remember any bad experiences. Much depends, for an active vandal fighter like you, on article and content creation, and at first glance that seems to be OK. What I don't know is if you've done much of the kind of thing that I think admins should do as well, which is mediating, talking people off the ledge, so to speak. You should be the judge of that. Whether this person is the right person to nominate you, that's a different question. Good luck, Drmies (talk) 04:50, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies: Thank you for replying. As you say, I have not been mediating that much. What I have done is mentoring a user that had a lot of issues and needed much help (I got several talkpage messages every day), but other than that not much mediating. I will think hard about this, but I feel no rush becoming an admin, as my main focus would still be on editing. What I could mostly help with is to block all vandalism only-account and IP's when following my watchlist as I spot a lot there. Also I could help at WP:RPP, specially under football transfer season, when editors change content in BLP's based on rumours. Now I just add requests all the time and about 95% of them lead to a protection. Qed237 (talk) 11:21, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
GiantSnowman, what do you say? Drmies (talk) 18:36, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
@Drmies and GiantSnowman: I have decide to withdraw the nomination this time to be 100% prepared for every question I might get in the RfA process. It is possible that I would look in to becoming an admin in the future so if you have more information that might help me become I better editor I would appreciate it. Also I read and got told about Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Optional RfA candidate poll, which I might give a go sometime. Qed237 (talk) 22:23, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Edit more widely, involve yourself more with noticeboard discussions, and go when you feel ready, not when others do. GiantSnowman 08:00, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Derrick Williams

As pertaining to your last edit to my edit of Derrick Willams, I have to respectfully challenge your editing. I am an expert on NBA and know wxtensivley about NBA drafts and prosepects. As major Sports talk shows, analysts, and NBA personel label Derrick Willaims a bust or a player that does not pan out in a draft, this is not a hurtful label to put on the man. He earned it and acknolowged it even in an interview. Please consider what I have told you.

Thanks and much regards, Ioxa

Thanks for the prompt reply! I only noticed this for there is an on-going news story about Cui and given the controversy, i think most of the earlier edits are as neutral as it can be. I can help to add sources and citations as much as i can, and maybe others will chime in as well. But if it is still sub-par afterwards, please revert as you see fit, but at the same time, help guide us into better editing habits.

Appreciate your dedications and thank you for helping keeping Wikipedia the way it is.

I did not do the thing you accuse me of

Hello, I am fed up. I am accused by you of making test edits, which I have not done. I am also periodically blocked from making edits at all because I am accused of destructive editing. This is disgraceful. I have never done this. Occasionally I seek to update information on some of the aviation history pages where my own published books and articles, or those of others recently published, update information on Wiki pages. This is disgraceful too. I have NEVER made destructive editing, or edits aimed at attacking anyone, etc. When I queried this before, I was told my IP is shared by others. So what? This is 2015, you have the ability to identify individuals instead of a stupid, ignorent, block of hundreds of people on the same IP just because one idiot has made edits you don't like. You people on Wiki are sailing very close to a law suit here. It is at best disrespectful to accuse people like myself of distructive editing which I have never done, one day one of us who are totally unjustly blocked might just turn up with a lawyer. Think of that. I reserve the absolute right to be able to edit where my own research is incorrently inserted on your pages. For example, I wrote a book on the Ta 152. Someone mis-read what I wrote and put their misreading on your Wiki page on the Ta 152. Because at that time I was able to edit without your stupid block ban, I was able to edit and correct what had been said. When I am unjustly blocked I cannot make such a necessary corrction. Think of that too.

Ammonium ferric citrate

I wonder if Ammonium ferric citrate merits a crystal structure (reference 1). The most interesting detail is the deprotonation of the citric acid OH group. I had added a section at citric acid#Acid-base and chelation characteristics which describes how the 4th proton is lost from citric acid itself only in strongly alkaline solutions. There is also a link to this page.

I have partially revised the Chem Box in this article, but I'm not sure that it is up to date in the light of this structure.Petergans (talk) 16:54, 5 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Added structure. Being non-chemist, I don't understand the flat NH4 groups there - maybe the software created those from dangling fragments. Materialscientist (talk) 03:00, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks very much for the structure. The paper illustrates the structure of a single iron complex and does not mention tha ammonium ions. Petergans (talk) 09:08, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I took the structure file from the very same paper. XRD doesn't detect hydrogens, thus they are placed by the modelling software based on simple valence assumptions. I don't know what bonding angle restrictions are built in the software they used. Materialscientist (talk) 09:18, 7 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
BTW, XRD absolutely detects hydrogens. Interpretation of their location require some education, but they show up all the time in crystallography. Not just calculated positions, but refined. --Smokefoot (talk) 15:22, 27 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sharad Sankla's role in Baadshah film

I believe that the actor Sharad Sankla is in this film, which is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baadshah_(1999_film). I don't exactly have proof that can be cited because there is nothing I could find. But in the film, which can be seen at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eELCzAa-foI At the 7:36 mark I believe that the man outside wearing the hat is Sharad Sankla. I figured his character's name in the film is "Chauki Lal" as this was what he was called in the scene at 7:36. In the film's end credits Chauki Lal is credited to being played by simply "Charlie". After doing research I found out "Charlie" was a name of a character played by Sankla in the film Baazigar. So I believe the end credits to Baadshah contained a mistake.

There is this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SI6BnzQ0fq8 where he is talking in Hindi and mentions that he'd been in the Hindi film for 22 years. After watching the film Baadshah I recognized him. I figured it would be nice to give Sharad Sankla recognition for his role in the film, as he clearly doesn't get recognition a lot. However, I cannot find concrete proof that suggest he is in fact "Charlie".

If this is Wikipedia credit is not allowed then that is fine. No issue.

Patrick Swayze not treated by CyberKnife

Hi,

I forgot to enter a message on my edit for the CyberKnife page. The article that was referenced does not specifically state that Patrick Swayze was treated by CyberKnife; only that Stanford, where Swayze was treated, has a CyberKnife. Based on what is publicly known about Swayze's disease, it would be highly unlikely that CyberKnife would have been an appropriate treatment at the stage he had cancer treatment at Stanford.

Ok, thanks at last for explaining in part, although I can do without the attitude. I find your words and actions supremely unhelpful. I guess you think you're a big bossman around here and you can treat people like that. What you say is controversial, but you state it like an undisputed fact. That's just not right. Or have you looked into the issue? I get the feeling you just go around reverting people who don't put edit summaries.

Oh I see. I didn't do something I should have, so you felt justified following the way I did it. Anyway. I'm not sure how I wasn't supposed to be bothered by the way you did what you did. I can see on this page I'm far from the only one. Bye. 110.20.158.134 (talk) 04:11, 18 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Loganville, Georgia

Hi. I got your message about reverting the edits I made to Loganville, Georgia. I do not understand the instructions for how to include citations, but Loganville does not have a "half portion" in Gwinnett County. It is located mostly in Walton County, with a small portion in Gwinnett County. The other edits I made on the town's history are from the town's website so I presume that they were accurate.

Hi! I know you're probably busy, but have you seen my notes from a few days ago on your user talk? Trijnsteltalk 23:45, 11 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm always glad to see your posts, but please clarify this one - those two swimmers have their en.wiki pages with photos - how can I help further with them? Did you mean the nl.wiki pages have some important info that should be included into en.wiki pages? Materialscientist (talk) 00:09, 12 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Well, usually when I upload photos (such as this one), you replace it with a better version. Or when I write an article (like nl:Rika Bruins), you update the English version with the extra information. But apparantly both wasn't necessary here. Then I haven't said anything.

Unblock request on hold

I have placed an unblock request at User talk:Prof. Mc on hold. It relates to a CheckUser block which you placed on the IP range 2605:A000:161C:0:0:0:0:0/48. Can you have look at it?

There is an LTA editor X sitting on this range since 2 October. Prof. Mc was not a target, but he (or nobody else, apart from X) never edited from there until 12 December. I can change the block to a softblock, but I would ask first, does Prof. Mc really need to edit from 2605:A000:161C::48 ? Granting IPBE is also an option.

Preventing possible vandalism of content in the article

Hi Materialscientist,

This is regarding the article National Herald Case, here the duplicate and unnecessary content has been added , old content deleted without any proper reason. It seems that the media highlights of the case in India makes it bit sensitive. I have been able to restore the content as much as possible but again the same issue. My request is that please look into the unnecessary edits going on ASAP and if possible add to it "semi-protected" sort of mode for a particular time to prevent it from vandalism.

  • Ben marko almost blanked the page this morning with a 10,000 character edit using his IP address. Then, he registers as Ben marko, and begins making the article: "The high desert according to Ben marco". When he was finished, the article was a stub. He is a vandal, a sock puppet, and an experienced editor with an agenda here. It was one of the cutest editing vandalizing tricks I've ever seen. Anyone that investigates the history there today will understand. Be sure to look just prior to his edits, and see him almost blanking the page with his IP address. Then, after I spent all morning reconstructing the page, he shows up and reverts another 10,000 characters. MS, This isn't a dispute issue.

High Desert Article error

Hello again MS, and sorry to bother you with this. Since an admin is the only editor allowed in this article for a few days, I want to make you aware of the first sentence in Geography, the second section. It reads: "A biogeography-defined boundary would of of San Bernardino County, as well as a northern portion of Riverside County south of San Bernardino County". Of course that makes no sense at all, and it was one of his edits that I missed when reconstructing. Perhaps just removing the sentence completely for now, and letting the second sentence start the section, would be best for now, until the article is reviewed for editing on the 17th. Thanks - Pocketthis (talk) 03:40, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Continued Acts of Vandalism by KrakatoaKatie on Billy the Kid article

Would you please take a look at the blatant acts of vandalism being conducted by one KrakatoaKatie on my contributions to the article on Billy the Kid. This person has destroyed what had been a highly detailed, historically accurate, treatment of Billy the Kid's life and replaced it with something that is at a comic book level. I ask that you look at my treatment of the Kid's life, as it existed only a couple of days age before this malicious individual went to work. What this person is doing is not only an insult to anyone who takes the history of the Wild West seriously, it is a clear affront to common decency. Thank you.

Hi. You've interacted with this editor on Yazidis, and probably saw from her contributions that she's quite definitely a WP:SPA pushing for non-Kurdish identity of Yazidis. It's a bit overwhelming at this point, because an IP editor just went ahead and did the same style of edits without as much as an edit summary, I reverted, and Chickchick77 just reverted again without an edit summary. I strongly suspect the IP was simply her again, and this is all foul play. Meanwhile, the article has had dubious edit seep through (I'm not knowledgeable enough about the subject to reliably amend every tendentious edit), and I don't see one obvious sticking-out behavior I could report anyone about. Yet I think she shouldn't be allowed to continue like this. LjL (talk) 14:45, 14 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Gender Gap page

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that my edit on the gender gap page was just to make the facts correct. The original one was heavily biased and false.

Your multiple blocks of 174.113.16.114

User:174.113.16.114 has been blocked by you 4 times for adding unsourced material. Currently reblocked for 6 months by another admin for continuing after your last block. A new user account User:Faizanmislam123 has now appeared and is making the same unsourced changes to people's articles so as to justify adding them as alumni of West Hill Collegiate Institute. An obvious sock given the identical interest (some of the bogus edits are actually identical) and that the IP previously claimed to be Faizan Islam, a West Hill Collegiate Institute student here. Note that I checked most his last batch of revisions and in each case I found that his changes were unsourced, and mostly either directly contradicted by sources already in the article, or directly contradicted by easily found sources.

Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war; read about how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you do not violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.

Hi Materialscientist. Thanks for all your hard work. What was wrong with the links that merited the intervention of an IP user who left no explanation? Caballero/Historiador (talk) 22:18, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

From my experience, we are dealing with a long-term anon editor who crawls over wikipedia and fixes redirects, which you'll see by examining their edits. They are harmless and marginally useful (sometimes he fixes wrong links, not just cosmetic redirects). Materialscientist (talk) 22:23, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Makes sense. Cheers, Caballero/Historiador (talk) 22:36, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, Thank you for messaging me. How do I go about adding appropriate links to a page that doesnt compromise the quality of 'said' page. You have removed links which have a relevance so I am a little confused as to why you've removed the links I have added - all your messages are word-to-word identical which really doesnt make any sense and you're actually stopping me from doing my job!

Not sure why you deleted the link I added and tagged it as inappropriate since it provides comprehensive information about pharmacy compounding, such as its origins, how and why it's used, how shortages can impact it and contains FAQs. You're doing a disservice to readers who truly want to learn more about the industry.

Antoine Agudio jersey numbers and meanings.

I updated content that was removed The citations are at live games that ive been too over 120 thats hes played. He now wears 24 for the Charge which is his fathers number in college and his reg number is 13 Both-numbers are tattooed on the tops of his wrists. And if you did your research you would see throughout his career he has switched between those numbers as to represent him as a player and honor his father who was also a professional player. Google his name if u think im lying. I run the fan page for Antoine on FB and an Instagram with his career pics on it MusicPeaceLove7572 I study up on him as a player now and former college superstar. So im pretty sure i know what im talking about Thanks

Re kat steel

The modeling website added to kat steel is legitimate. She has major modeling work on boobpedia. Under the voice actress catagory. Not a nude. It isn't meant to vandalize. One only need check the website to verify. Http://www.boobpedia.com/kat_steel. I argue that it is a constructive addition to the page given that this is part of the work this model/actress does. How should this work be added to the page? What is the proper placement? I plan to add it again. If it is deleted, I would appreciate an explanation why. Respectfully, Thank you Mratman (talk) 08:32, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Mourning Dove

I didn't believe I needed a citation, as the first iteration didn't need one and I don't know how to cite .... a song title from an album.

Every page that has info about her album (Wikipedia or otherwise) knows the title of the song is "Anecdotes" and NOT "Ancestors." There's a link to the Wikipedia page on "Divers," the album, at the end of the sentence where you can clearly see the first song is "Anecdotes." There isn't a song by Joanna Newsom called "Ancestors."

Speedy deletion

I suppose this has been done as it cannot be verified. So what can be done, as all parties are no longer living. I know my father wrote a letter about this to SkandinavsTobakFabrik AG (or whatever the name was) before he died and I was subsequently invited to visit the factory in Copenhagen.

Thanks for keeping an eye on the article. A number of IPs have been trying to create and maintain a promotional tone there. Often citing letters to the editor, press releases and obscure primary sources located at govt websites. Aftab has been mentioned many, many times in the press as an expert but only in passing. I cannot find even a single article where she is featured. I think she is notable but we have to be careful her article doesn't look like a resume. I spent 2 hrs cleaning it up the other day and 90 minutes again today. Please help if you have time. I left a nice note on the IPs talk page asking them to read the guidelines and participate at the article talk page rather than adding non-compliant text and bare URLs for cites.

The page seems to be being used for promotion of the film. Assuming GF there may be fans who are in the know who can change release dates before the source [NtrNannakuPrematho.Com] does, but it seems more likely to me that there is another explanation.

Deletion from Charmeuse

I referenced a film with the word Charmeuse in it. I referenced the Wikipedia page for that film. I referenced the exact point within said film that the word occurred and I gave credit to the translator of the subtitles. It was a film that I watched yesterday. Is it verifiable? Of course it is. Go watch the film. I don't see that my reference is any less germane than one to an advertisement. I see there are several objections on your page to deletions you have made.

Reversion on Coal

Hi, although the edit you reverted on the article Coal appeared through its edit summary to be non-serious and vandalism, it was actually well referenced. --BurritoBazooka (talk) 23:04, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, maybe I overreacted on the edit summary, but such strong conclusions should come from more authoritative bodies ("Union of Concerned Scientists" is not one of those; Forbes is a deadlink, and it does say "greatspeculations" in its url), i.e. WP:REDFLAG. Materialscientist (talk) 23:09, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
That Forbes one isn't dead for me, here is a screenshot for how it appears to me (in the UK using a BT cable connection): http://i.imgur.com/qPrerCe.png I think "GreatSpeculations" is the name of the contributor group (not an editorial sub-work of Forbes Magazine), and 'speculation' here might be meant in some financial sense? Oh well. Union of Concerned Scientists is an advocacy group. I guess you are looking for academic sources or proper surveys/reviews about the opinions of scientists? --BurritoBazooka (talk) 23:25, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anything you can do about this IP-hopper?

Materialscientist, so far an IP has used a bunch of addresses—86.131.23.182, 81.158.98.166, 81.154.132.180, 81.153.48.252, and 81.154.132.198—to post troll messages on various user talk pages. I seem to recall that you've done some range-blocking before; is this anything you can help with? (Although maybe some other admins have already started.)

Hi Materialscientist. Per a recent guideline RfC, if a filter is switched to disallow a notice should now be posted to WP:EFN. I've done that for this filter; the RfC didn't get huge input so no worries about not noticing/remembering! Sam Walton (talk) 09:45, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Indeed, I haven't edited filters for a while and thus didn't follow recent developments there. Actually the "disallow" mode for this filter is risky, I'll turn it off after a week or so, depending on the activity. Materialscientist (talk) 09:52, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The edits haven't recurred so far as I know, but the "threat" in the message was about talk pages in 2016, so it's probably best to leave it in place at least through New Year's Day, and perhaps for the full week to avoid a repeat exactly a week later.

Vestavia Hills High School reason for deleting content

Hi! Thank you for your response! Most citizens in my community feel that the content I deleted was improperly and incorrectly written. The original author (of the content I deleted) cites those particular contents as "facts" and uses opinion based editorials as their resources. This appears to be in violation of Wikipedia's terms on "not a soapbox or means of promotion" section on the following page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox_or_means_of_promotion

This content in question violates parts 1, 2, and 3 of that particular section. If you would like to rephrase this content so as not to present the editorial opinions to appear as fact, I would be agreeable to that. Otherwise, it is just not appropriate or within the rules of Wikipedia to to include this content as is. If you are unable to do this, but would still like the content on the page, then please let me know and I, or another member of our community, will gladly edit it to not be opinions masquerading as facts. Thank you for your time!

sockpuppet Rckhupmang

It appears you blocked Rckhupmang as a sockpuppet. I cannot find the SPI report. Rczo created Let Suan Khai. The accidentally put Kham En Thang as the person's name in the article. Kham En Thang's article was created by Rckhupmang. I've added a CSD tag to Let Suan Khai. As you've dealt with this sockpuppet in the past, could you look at it.

Vestavia Hills High School again

Hello! Could you please speak to Zigzig20s about consistently trying to push an agenda in using opinions on our high school's Wikipedia page. That clearly violated rules and they keep trying to use an op-Ed piece as facts. This time they listed these "facts" in the "history" section and the information they keep trying to put there is very debated and is NOT fact. Please stop them! Thank you again for your time!

Update: the user NottNott should not be allowed to edit anymore. If he is insisting on using editorials as fact and making ME disprove the EDITORIAL as fact, then he is not fit to edit. This is the reason I will be discouraging everyone I know from donating anything to Wikipedia and will be intentionally avoiding it from here on out when I am searching for information. You all have proven to me that this whole site is notoriously unreliable and the public needs to know this. You appear to be an admin and it is your duty as such to have a little control over these editors. All I asked of this NottNott was to REPHRASE his information in the "history" section to reflect the opinions of John Archibald (who is notoriously unreliable also). This is not an unreasonable request. He declined. I will be pursuing this if you do not take some action.

@24.158.238.133: I've reverted your edits as I believe that the sources are still valuable enough to hold up the statements made in the article. The sources are sensationalist in a way but unless there is evidence to prove that the sources aren't WP:reliable, then there's no reason to remove the content. You need to provide evidence that proves the sources are unreliable, otherwise you're simply removing content with no justification.
This is a content dispute and not a case of clear vandalism, as such adminship is irrelevant. Admins are also volunteers just like you or me - they're not shareholders in the Wikimedia Foundation, just editors with a few more tools. NottNott talk|contrib 16:56, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
NottNott: then please leave my edit to reflect this opinion or rephrase in your own words to reflect that this is an opinion because it is not in compliance, as you suggested, with the non-biased POV part of Wikipedia as is. It is a biased point of view stated as fact. I'm done after this, so there is no need to block me, but I believe you are disgracing what this whole site stands for by leaving the "good faith" edit without any mention of it being solely from an op-Ed piece.
@24.158.238.133: See WP:BIASED, which states reliable sources are not required to be neutral, unbiased, or objective. The actual body of text does not try to push a point of view either, it adapts the facts in the article in a way that's neutral and factually descriptive. The content should only be removed if the source is proved to be inaccurate, otherwise it should remain as it is. NottNott talk|contrib 17:30, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if you say that I've made an edit in bad faith that means you think I've made a deliberate attempt to damage the wiki. Are you sure about this? NottNott talk|contrib 17:34, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
NottNott: I do not believe you have made a "deliberate attempt to damage". I believe that the wording used is biased and attempts to push a political agenda, and is in fact NOT "neutral". The citizens of our community have been seriously offended by this author. If that was not your intent, then I apologize for misunderstanding. But my understanding is that Wikipedia is NOT a forum for political agendas. Admin, please correct me if I am incorrect in this assumption.
@24.158.238.133: You're right that Wikipedia isn't to promote political agendas - it's purpose is purely to inform. The text in dispute is The school was built in the 1970s, in the context of the establishment of segregation academies in the 1970s, which enabled white American children to segregate themselves from black children, who remained in public schools.[1][2] The school mascot, known as Rebel Man, represents a plantation owner.[3] The school "picked a Confederate Flag-waving Civil War Rebel because it saw itself as rebellious."[2]. I don't see how this is pushing any political agenda or is biased - it just informs the reader about the history of the school and how it came to exist, correct me if I'm wrong.
Because there's nothing wrong with the body of the text in the article and I don't see any reason why the source is particularly unreliable, are you sure you don't have a conflict of interest with allowing the citation to remain purely based on who wrote it?

Based on your removal of my minor edit to clarify opinion, I am working on the assumption that you are, indeed, pushing a political agenda. That is not appropriate, in my opinion. I will be discontinuing use of Wikipedia and encouraging my friends and neighbors to do the same.

Keeping up Appearances

Hello. The Keeping Up Appearances episode list is incomplete as I see it. In USA there are different names to the shows. I tried to make edits but they were removed. My apologies if I did wrong. Please see this website on differing names. Please consider them for adding? Thank you.

Thoongaa Vaanam Edit Matter

Misunderstanding
Listen boss... You blocked me on translation of THOONGAA VAANAM... What I gave is correct meaning... Thoongaa means SLEEPING (Ask any Tamil people)... Therefore please understand me and stop editing that back to SLEEPLESS... It's actual meaning is SLEEPING... Thank you Nksrinath165 (talk) 09:09, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Where is all this coming from?

You are peddling the line, like many other administrators, that Vote (X) for Change is guilty of "long term abuse". Please think carefully before publishing this story. Wikipedia:Long term abuse/Vote (X) for Change is a redlink, is it not? Happy New Year. 80.44.164.223 (talk) 09:36, 29 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Are you kidding me?

Chinese people don't use Wikipedia, so you are lucky that I took the time to add in information about a Chinese celebrity on her wikipedia page. However; because of a missing citation, you removed the whole the whole thing. You Couldn't take two seconds to google it and cite it yourself? No, you had to remove all that I had written. You are horrible and have encouraged me to never contribute anything to wikipedia ever again. Thanks, Materialvirginscientist.

The edit for which you blocked (and added a level 2 warning, which doesn't even warn of a block) was verifiable. I've restored it, without the (inappropriate, but understandable) comment, and added a source. Peter James (talk) 00:20, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Just as an FYI, that IP is part of a large-scale block evasion attack that's been going on since Sunday. Here is the relevant discussion over on WP:AN. Regards. Amaury (talk) 00:46, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reverting changes by the user "Alex Varkatzas". He should probably be blocked. See this and this. Regards, Robby.is.on (talk) 01:41, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
