:{{ping:Sakgra}} I didn't revert it, someone else did. Check the [[wp:page history]] for what happened. Your reference does not support the information that you added. [[wp:biographies of living persons]] need to have ''all'' significant facts sourced with RS. Also, that is what is known as a [[wp:primary source]]. As they do then website, they can (and sometimes do) give inaccurate information. I would recommend that you create a [[wp:draft]] or create the page in a sandbox. I would suggest [[user Sakgra/Bessy Argyraki]]. BTW: I am a volunteer and my editing schedule is quite random. I probably won't reply for a day. I would suggest you ask questions on your talk page and ping me. This helps keep the conversation on one page.

James Darren

Hello Jim1138. I am a fairly inexperienced computer user, so I apologize if I've inadvertently stepped on your toes. As for my citation, firstly, Jim Moret wrote a biography in 2011 called "The Last Day of My life", in which his father is named. Also, if you look on this page http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0604272/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bio_sm , Mr. Moret's father is mentioned as James Darren. I hope this gives you enough information. Please let me know if there is anything further I should be doing. Thanks. Lumpenfrau (talk) 03:45, 10 May 2016 (UTC) Lumpenfrau

Edit war at MILF (slang)

Stop icon

Your recent editing history shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. 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 article's 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. See BRD for 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 your 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 don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Qblue53 (talkcontribs) 07:19, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Spryfield business section

Hi,

I thought the section was poorly written in that nothing was sourced, it was not written from an objective viewpoint, and there were seemingly factual errors. I should not have deleted it, but it needs substantial re-writing and editing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.11.117.46 (talk) 15:51, 10 May 2016 (UTC)

Dear Jim,

About the page I edited (Chinese-borm Kazakh female weightlifters)

They were both born and trained in China in their youths, until they were sent to Kazakhstan in 2007. There are a lot of reports and solid evidence about these in Chinese media, and these things are never "poorly referenced". An exchange agreement reached between Weightlifting Admin Center of Hunan Administration of Sport and Kazakhstan Weightlifting Association was exposed after Chinshanlo won a silver medal in 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games. The agreement effected from Sept 20, 2007 to Sept 15, 2012 and specified "transfer fees" for Chinshanlo and Maneza (then Zhao Changling and Yao Li): $25,000 for each athlete girl, and additional fees in case any of them earned a podium position in 2012 London Olympic Games ($30,000 for each bronze medal, $40,000 for a silver, and $50,000 for a highest step).

There are two controversial points by today. The two girls somehow felt "abandoned" by their Chinese coaches and leaders when sent abroad, that is why Maneza once denied her birth in China and insist speaking Russian for interviews. Chinshanlo, however, who does not speak Russian or Kazakh as fluently as Maneza, spoke Mandarin more often in public. The other thing is, China wanted them back after the contract expired, but Kazakhstan refused to let them go. Moreover, since they had been naturalized Kazakh citizens and Chinese gov never allows dual nationality, and according to some international sports organizations, an athlete could only change his/her nationality once, "back to China" thing became really complicated, almost impossible. They competed for Kazakhstan in 2014 World Weightlifting Championships, which indicates they will be Kazakh weightlifters for the rest of their careers.

Here are links for this issue: http://www.echinacities.com/news/Who-is-Maiya-Maneza-China-Born-Athlete-Wins-GoldFor-Kazakhstan http://en.people.cn/90779/7992691.html

And if you read Chinese I can share you a lot more. Hope you can understand. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Contrapunctuscanon (talkcontribs) 09:30, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

@Contrapunctuscanon: So, China gave up on them. They were welcomed in Kazakhstan, received excellent training and won medals. And now, China claims them. How nice of China. You must be proud to be part of China! I hope you don't get dumped or sold off. Be sure to wp:cite wp:reliable sources. Unsourced content may be removed per wp:verifiability. Jim1138 (talk) 09:44, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
@Jim1138: The two girls were upset about what Chinese Sports Officials had done. Kazakhstan refused to let them go back. These things are understandable. I never made a comment on these. I just discussed with you about all "truth". No matter what China did to them in 2007, it can never be denied that both of them were born and raised in China, with Chinese birth names, and were trained in China in their youths. China "selling" them out does not make Kazakhstan distorting their profiles right.
I have no idea who and how to decide whether a source is reliable. If you think it is not, then it is not, how can Wiki be called "FREE" encyclopedia? I can show you large quantities of evidence to prove what I edited is solid, not poorly referenced, and you just skip them off and insist your opinion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Contrapunctuscanon (talkcontribs) 02:03 3 June 2016 (UTC)
@Contrapunctuscanon: By "free" it means no advertisements, not subscription fees. Wikipedia is not some wall in a back alley where you are "free" to put whatever on it. You have been given advise on what would constitute a reliable source such as here. You have been told how to add references here. You are confrontational and I have little interest in helping you. It sounds like you have made up your mind on how you are going to do things. So I imagine you will do these and get yourself wp:blocked. Please don't bother me. Jim1138 (talk) 04:12, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
@Jim1138: At the beginning I tried just to display links and state facts, without any comment on anything. However, I read no help or willingness to discuss from your first reply, but only an arrogant and ironical attitude, and some political innuendo. And now you are criticizing me "confrontational". How nice. I love Wiki so much and have been a loyal user for over ten years, but I never expected I would encounter an unfriendly person acting so arbitrarily and dictatorially. My last talk here.

Virginia Bosler

Hey Jim:

I only opened an account tonight to change the bio on the actress Virginia Bosler. This bio was recently edited with information from a memorial I created at Find-a-Grave for my mother, Virginia Bosler, who is not the actress. From what I could find on the internet, the actress eventually married Hubert Alexander Doris, and is now known as Virginia Doris. It appears she is still alive and living in Hancock, Maine, at the age of 89.

This is my first time editing on Wikipedia, so excuse my lack of finesse. I would really appreciate it if you could delete all the information based on my mother's memorial, which is everything except for the bit about Agnes de Mille, and Miss Bosler's Hollywood credits.

Thanks!

Namuwiki formal slogan is specified in Namuwiki post (https://namu.wiki/enwiki/w/나무위키). Is it vandal? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.33.46.205 (talk) 06:47, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

I removed it once. It was removed once by user:ClueBot NG, a wp:bot. I removed it as you did not wp:cite a wp:reliable source. Please see wp:verifiability. I checked the nearest citation and could not find any mention of your slogan. Please use an wp:inline citation if you replace it? Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 07:48, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

Hall of Game Awards, 'Hi, Jim!'

Hello, I don't post major stuff that warrants me registering for the site, but 2601:84:4501:A323:9911:756:AB12:CA3A, the guy who made the "Hi, Jim!" comment is in the wrong; look at the whole history log for the Hall of Game Awards; he and three other IPs were involved in edit wars for that article last year, and that was why I wanted StealthForce blocked. I hope you can hear me out on this. 2601:601:4002:E260:2C5A:78C1:501E:4DDF (talk) 04:53, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

If the AN3 is bad, it will be ignored and archived later. So, it should stay. wp:boomerang may apply in some cases. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 05:08, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Wait, is '[1]' a valid reference? Clicking it doesn't show anything, which means it can't be linked to a citation. Am I incorrect? If so, sorry for adding citation needed.Martin Van Ballin' (talk) 00:25, 16 May 2016 (UTC)

@Jim1138: Hmm, it showed as blank for me, hence my removal. Sorry if it came across as malicious. I've reported it as a bug, as it seems to a visual editor issue that can arise for some.

TMDK and Hartley Jackson

Suggest you watch the Hartley Jackson page as well as the IP causing both of us headaches is inserting the same unreliable sourcing there as well. I'm pretty sure it's a sock of a user called Pidzz but I have nothing to go on. 101.182.75.183 (talk) 07:10, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

I edited that page to remove a large section of repeated text. If you'd like for it to remain, so be it. I don't care enough to write a paragraph explaining why I fixed someone else's mistake. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.36.189.180 (talk) 08:34, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

Can we talk about Huggle?

I’m reaching out to you because our logs tell us you’re a highly active Huggle user (top 20, actually). The Wikimedia Collaboration Team is researching a project that we hope will be useful to people who use Huggle and others engaged in edit-review and anti-vandalism. Using artificial intelligence programming (in ORES) and other means, we believe we can create feeds of Recent Changes that are better tailored to the type of work you do, helping you to be more effective and efficient. (The technology will have other benefits as well, which we can talk about.)

We're in the early stages of planning this and want to speak with people like yourself to better understand your work, goals and issues. If you’re interested in helping, I’d like to set up a time to meet by video conference, so that you can explain and demonstrate (via screensharing) some of your workflows, and we can ask and answer any questions.

To participate, please email the following information to me, jmatazzoni@wikimedia.org, or send it to designresearch@wikimedia.org:

  • Username
  • city/time zone
  • Best time to talk to you?
  • Email where we can reach you
  • Please use the subject line: Huggle User Conversations

Please tag the page that has the old history and that needs to be moved, not the page to move it to. It's confusing when you do it that way and I had to reverse everything twice. Please check if it's all fixed now. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 01:34, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Jim, I changed some parts of Fundamental theorem of calculus because there are some mistakes inside there. Now, I have already explained the reason to you. If you don't understand what I said, I can say it in Chinese. Also, I didn't understand why you didn't use my edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexchancowenchan (talkcontribs) 11:04, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

@Alexchancowenchan: I explained my reasons on your talk page. I would suggest you edit the page in your sandbox where I suggested (which you removed). I note that you failed to read my request at the top of my talk page here. If you can not follow Wikipedia policy, please don't edit articles here. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 11:09, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

Jim1138, I would like to know that are you going to block my account without reasons. If so, I don't have any questions. If not, please give me a reason. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexchancowenchan (talkcontribs) 11:31, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

@Alexchancowenchan: I am not an wp:administrator, I can't block you, but I can ask an admin to do so. I would present evidence: i.e. your removing content without a good reason and your addtion of content without citing sources per wp:V. If the admin agrees, s/he would probably give you a 31 hour wp:block. If you continue adding/removal as hou have been, you would probably get a longer block. After a few of these, it would likely be a indefinite block. You have been told what the problem is by two experience editors and you don't seem to want to listen. So, I'm done with you.

Raffles College of Design and Commerce

Hi Jim - although the information is cited, it was done so maliciously as it is factually incorrect that "Raffles College of Design and Commerce lost its accreditation...". This is written nowhere in the sources. The conditions are also selectively chosen and ignore full transparency and positive elements alluded if the full source was properly considered. It's so unfair to all the students who graduate from Raffles to have their futures tarnished like this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.96.29.107 (talk) 07:07, 22 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Green Room (film), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Horror (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
