Max Hirschberg

I started a new article - a different Max Hirschberg. Must have got things confused. Sorry and thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by StanlyKupp (talk • contribs) 01:07, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your message

This is an open site I put my opinion in and a lot off people would argree with what I put and I also stated about his future in the WWE with him competing in this years royal rumble if you don't like this remark then report me like u said this website is open for opinion so that's what I did Thanks - jj Jj jones (talk) 01:22, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Okay mate no need to get rude just cause I made a mistake on this site don't mean u can be rude does it ur the one in the wrong u can't just start on anyone for no reason yes I make a mistake but I have actually put some useful information on another page and somebody thanked me for it so I deserve to be on here thank u and stop being rude it's not like I did something bad Jj jones (talk) 01:40, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Nobody's being rude to you, and I left the second comment, not Oshwah. Please take the time to follow the links I provided to better understand Wikipedia's editing policies. Acroterion (talk) 01:42, 27 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Re:January 2017

I actually didn't create that page, nor did I actually remove the CSD template; all I did was replace it with another CSD template. The page could have been created by another anonymous Linux user, though there is now no way for me to check the page history now that you properly deleted it. 2605:6000:ED08:DD00:F542:1B0D:BEDD:A43F (talk) 00:41, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Donald Trump Is President

I saw on the US Ambassador to Germany page were you undid my edit of Donald Trump being President of the United States and that I needed a source. You must be an idiot and living under a rock! He has been President for one whole week! He is listed as president on the President of the United States Wikipedia page and on United States Wikipedia page. I demand an apology from you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.195.202.14 (talk) 01:19, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lynching of Austin Callaway

Shooting is not lynching. Your article is not accurate since it contradicts itself. Every mob murder is not a "lynching". A lynching is a mob forced hanging. Here is a link on the etymology of the word http://abhakhetarpal.in/blog/origin-of-english-wordslynching Thank you for your efforts to guard us from wrong info. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:281:C101:9E:A9D6:25D0:6703:1084 (talk) 01:24, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page watcher) IP please see this definition. While it often refers to hanging it is not the only way that an unlawful mob can kill someone. MarnetteD|Talk 01:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Added reasoning for my edits

I noticed you reversed my edits on Reputation management, so I added my reasoning to the talk page if you want to discuss the edits I made. CoolieCoolster (talk) 01:52, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Brandon Armstrong

He just posted on twitter he signed a 10 day contract with the 76ers. Don't really know how to cite that. Oh well. Guess I'll let the experts figure it out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Broncos0802 (talk • contribs) 02:07, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Broncos0802! See this guide on how to do so. Just find a reliable source (I'd use something like a news article stating so), cite it with the content you're adding, and then you'll be golden!!! Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be happy to answer them and assist you. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:09, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Not sure if you're the right person to ask, but did I handle this user okay? I reverted an edit for not stating a source and he threw a huge wobbler and began making personal attacks (I'm "abusing" Huggle apparently), both on my talk page and his. Is the striking of others' comments allowed? I don't believe it is per WP:TPO, but he says otherwise. Adam9007 (talk) 02:55, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Adam9007! I mean... yes... users can strike out comments, remove warnings, etc on their own talk page... but this user is clearly being uncivil and making personal attacks. I'm not going to come at you with guns blazing because you reverted them, as well as his other edits like that... I'd say "just be careful next time" and... that's about it ;-). lol ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:06, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I was once reverted (ages ago) for striking out someone else's comment on my talk page, and was told I'm not allowed to. I see WP:TPO does say that one must not even on their own talk page because it constitutes a change in meaning. But WP:OWNTALK (which he cited) says that users can archive comments and remove them (he says striking constitutes archiving, not modifying, contrary to WP:TPO). Are the guidelines contradicting themselves, or am I going mad? :) Adam9007 (talk) 03:16, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Adam9007 - They're not. Removing comments (according to both) is okay, but apparently striking out comments made by others is not (I actually didn't know this). Hey, I guess we both learned something! Like I said, I'm glad you found out about this on your own. You (and me now) know it's a guideline now, so hey... no harm done then! I like giving that as an answer! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:21, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I too thought striking on your own talk page was some sort of archiving at first, until I looked at that guideline. :) So, should I unstrike my templates on his talk page or just leave them? Adam9007 (talk) 03:27, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Never mind. He's deleted all of it. Thanks for your help. Adam9007 (talk) 02:21, 29 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Changes in Kidnapping, Caucasian Style

I change sobriquet of Nikulin's character from "Fool" to "Booby". No doubt, that it's convertible terms in English, but in Russian too! "Дурак" (Fool) and "Балбес" (Booby) are synonymous in Russian. But Nikulin's hero is not "Дурак" (Fool). He is "Балбес" (Booby). "Дурак" used in Russian only for insulting. This word is not unquotable, but used infrequently. "Балбес" is used... I don't know, how it said... more humorous, not so brutally. And I think my changes are correct. But I'm not insisting. I don't know, may be "Booby" is unquotable in English? If so, it's my mistake. If your decision is to revert my changes and you're insist on it - O'kay, you the Boss! English is your mother language, it's up to you  :-))) By the way, Morgunov character's nickname - "Pro" - best semantic translation for "Бывалый", IMHO, although "Expirienced" is more accurate. In case of "Балбес" - Booby is more accurate and have a greater meaning content. However, that changes are really negligible. Nevertheless I suppose, that a lot of insignificant, but more accurate definitions makes Wiki only better. Isn't it? Hot roller (talk) 04:31, 28 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kyle Falconer

Hey, sorry for reverting you on Kyle Falconer. Your edit restored some vandalism and I reverted it as vandalism without noticing you were reasonably reverting other stuff. In any case, I found what appears to be the last good diff and restored that. —Non-Dropframe talk 23:42, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

No apologies are needed, Non-dropframe! It looks like an IP made some edits before that user. I appreciate you for catching this, and for fixing the article. If I dun goof and your reversion fixes it, perfect. That's why we're both here! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 23:48, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Lowes Wikipedia Page

Hi Oshwah,

How are you?

I work for Lowes Menswear and I have been told to update our Wikipedia page.

I have never updated Wikipedia before so it is all a learning curve for me.

You reverted my edits back to the original page because you felt that my article "did not have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Lowes Menswear seemed less than neutral to me".

Is this because I have not cited from enough sources?

It is just hard as there is not much information about Lowes out there and the information that is out there that I can cite or that was previously cited was all the wrong information, so the only source I can get correct information from is our website.

Most of the information has been sourced from our managers here at our office as this information is not really out in the internet.

So what do I do then?

Thanks!

Hi Lowesaustralia15423 - Welcome to Wikipedia. There are a few problems with your account and what you're trying to do. I'll list them for you so that you can fix them:
  • Your username represents a company, which is against our username policy. You need to request a username change or stop using this account and create a new one that represents yourself as an individual.
  • If you're being paid to edit this article, you need to disclose this per Wikipedia's policy. Refer to the policy page that I linked you for more information.
  • Your edits were problematic because they did not reflect a neutral point of view and was worded in a promotional manner (it read like an advertisement). All edits and article content must be neutrally worded and be as unbiased as possible.
Please take the time to correct these issues (starting from the top), and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you for messaging me, and I hope you have a great day! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:46, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wales Scotland

Hi, you cannot remove Wales from this list and include Scotland without good reason either.

Wales was meant to compete in Eurovision in 1969 and S4C is a full and active member of the EBU. Either you include both or you don't include either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonbonjela (talk • contribs) 10:41, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Jonbonjela - Wikipedia is not the place to express opinions or point of views. If you feel that there is an issue between yourself and another editor on the article, you need to open a discussion on the article's talk page and come to a consensus with one another and engage in proper dispute resolution practices. Removing content, reverting, and going back-and-fourth constitutes edit warring, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. This is why I reverted the changes recently made by everyone - because no discussion is taking place and one must occur. Please do so, and let me know if you have any questions. Thank you :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:48, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Johnny Keyser Wikipedia

Hi there!! I apologize for being new to the Wikipedia community and perhaps not editing Johnny Keyser's page properly. Johnny was a former American Idol contestant in 2011 and 2012 but his Wiki has not been updated accurately since. In 2015 he began to construct an entirely new vision and brand and now goes by artist name "John.k". He is currently just weeks away from releasing his debut EP as John.k and because of this, his wiki needed to be updated. Additionally, the original information about his birthdate, birthplace, and upbringing were incorrect. I spent 2 hours last night sifting through the tons of information and creating a new wikipedia page for John. I was unable to add a photo, can you tell me why? I have listed the information below that needs changing, but if you have access to all of the edits I made last night can you please restore them? American Idol is very much in the past and should not be the first thing that we read when we come across John's wikipedia. It would be much appreciated.

Question: Can we change Johnny's name permanently to John.k as that is the artist name he goes by now? Question: How can I add a photo of Johnny to wikipedia?

Here is the updated information, with sources:

Collapsing page edit

Name: John.k Birth name: John Poulson Keyser Date of Birth: October 24, 1988 Genre: Alternative R&B / Soul / Pop Instruments: Vocals, Piano Website: musicbyjohnk.com

John Poulson "John.k" Keyser is an American singer-songwriter who was first discovered on Season 11 of American Idol when Jennifer Lopez told him, "You know you're gonna be a star, right?" and the show launched a season-long campaign around her reaction. Johnny Keyser transitioned his brand to John.k in early 2015 when he began working on his debut EP "John.k" scheduled to release in February 2017.

Personal life: 

John Poulson Keyser was born October 24, 1988 in Delray Beach FL to parents Cheryl Bleau and John Keyser Sr. He is of French, German, American Indian and English decent. John was raised in the Christian faith. At age three, his parents divorced and co-parented him in South Florida. John's mother Cheryl went on to remarry Pastor Dan Plourde of Calvary Jupiter FL. The two have 11 children together. John Keyser Sr. went on to move to Edwardsville, Indiana. John.k is a fourth generation musician and was focused on athletics growing up. He learned to sing and play piano at age 16 from his grandma, Donna "Bunny" Lavar, daughter of 1940s aspiring model, Linna Poulson and John Poulson (Bunny is nicknamed after her father's dear friend, jazz trumpeter Bunny Berigan). John.k graduated high school from Calvary Christian Academy in Fort Lauderdale FL and went on to study Marketing at the University of Central Florida in Orlando, where he currently resides.

Musical Career: In early 2015, John teamed up with manager and songwriter, Robert Zarrilli, and the duo incorporated themselves as KeyZar. Together, they began writing John.k's debut EP at Plush Studios in Winter Springs FL. They grew their team, including Plush Studios Vice President Ethan Curtis, producer Adam "FVCES" Piccoli and sound engineer Ian Gagnon. John and team went on to work with producer Ricky Remedy on power track, "Gold," set to release Spring 2017. John.k and team joined with dancer Marlee Hightower and publicist Erica Berman of Jane Layne Creative on passion project "My City Beautiful," a tribute to the lives lost in June 2016's Pulse Nightclub Shooting.

John recently signed on to open for X Factor USA Winner Alex and Sierra's West Coast "Take Me Tour", beginning February 2017.

American Idol: Keyser was first noticed when he auditioned for American Idol Season 11 in St. Louis, Missouri.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1678467/johnny-keyser-lauren-gray-wow-american-idol-panel.jhtml|title=Johnny Keyser, Lauren Gray Wow 'American Idol' Panel|author=Adam Graham|date=February 2, 2012|publisher=[[MTV]]|accessdate=June 19, 2012}}</ref> His rendition of Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" and vocal prowess moved all three judges, with the show's season-long ad campaign built around Jennifer Lopez's exhortations "You Know You're Gonna Be A Star, Right?" and "Keep Singing...". Despite his a cappella version of Amos Lee's "Dreamin'" in the Hollywood rounds, he was cut from the competition. Although when he and three others were announced as possible wildcard entries into the Final 25, Keyser was touted as the likely inclusion,<ref>Annie Barrett, [http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/02/24/american-idol-johnny-keyser-top-13/ "'American Idol': Should Johnny Keyser be saved?"], ''Entertainment Weekly'', February 24, 2012</ref> but he was not chosen as the Wild Card to return on the show. Keyser came back for the twelfth season.

Reversion of my correction to a name || Simdega || Notable People

Hello,

Straight to the point, the name Dungdung is spelled without a space between the 2 "Dung". Meaning it is one surname/title. E.g. It is "Rezi Dungdung" and not "Rezi Dung Dung". It is Same for all Dungdung's and there are no alternate spellings.

Thanks and Regards, Sam Abhinav Kullu Local Tilga Village, Simdega, Jharkhand.

Please Clarify

Hello, I have a question regarding the page I have been editing, the YoWorld one. It's been a while since' I've contributed to Wikipedia, and I was one of the ones who helped create that page a few years back under another account, which for some reason no longer exists here. I came back to help edit it after I noticed two headings on the top of the page, one claiming that the page had been written as a manual, and that it should be fixed. In order to do that, I removed the parts that they referenced, and received the warnings. The sections I removed, if you read them yourself, were entirely in manual format. There was no way to fix those sections without removing them. If I am not allowed to remove them is there some other way to address the issue without being blocked from editing the page further? I am only wondering because if you look at the page... it clearly needs a face lift, and it's nearly impossible to do that. Help?

MysteriousYo (talk) 20:42, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi MysteriousYo! Thanks for leaving me a message with your questions and concerns. I'll be happy to help you and point you in the right direction. Some of your edits most likely confused other editors (including myself) because you haven't been leaving an edit summary explaining your changes. To give a few examples: You removed a lot of content here, as well as here, and removed a section here, but you did not explain why. I think that the lack of edit summaries is what led to the warnings and the confusion. You also continued to remove content after being warned as well (which obviously doesn't help - haha). I've removed the warning that I've left on your talk page, as I see now that you're trying to gain an understanding and simply just seem confused. I think that you just need to explain your changes using edit summaries, and you'll be okay. Also, you generally want to fix the issue in the article first, then remove the template once it's done. If you have any more questions or need help, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I'll be happy to help you. Cheers! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 20:50, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Home Lander - Cool deal, man - go for it. If they have the wrong person, I guess that happens... but another concern was the lack of references with the edits in the first place. If someone changes a BLP to say that they're dead and don't supply a reference, that's a definite no-go for launch, Houston (lol). Just make sure that if anyone changes a living person to be dead (whether it be this "Rob Stewart", or a different "Rob Stewart") - that it's referenced with a reliable source. Thanks for the message - let me know if you need my help with anything. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:10, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I had actually grabbed this source - http://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/toronto/rob-stewart-found-dead-1.3965360 - see the edit history, but am verifying now whether this is the same person or not. Home Lander (talk) 00:13, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Home Lander - Awesome. Thanks for finding a reference and for verifying that we're updating the right person. Much appreciated! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:14, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Home Lander - I think the correct person is Rob Stewart (filmmaker), by the way. That's who you're looking for :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:16, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We edit conflicted, I found him just as you did. Home Lander (talk) 00:18, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Home Lander - HA! That happens a lot around here ;-). Also, I'd make sure to find more references or different news stories confirming this before you make the change to the article. We treat BLP articles with much more scrutiny than others - keep that in mind! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:20, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well aware, I actually reverted a non-source entry at the start of all this. I've put in a null edit on this page for what it's worth, the correct one is admin-edit only at the moment so I won't be able to do anything with it. Home Lander (talk) 00:24, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Home Lander - Sounds like you're on the right track and doing the right things. No need for me to step in; I'll leave you to it then! Just message me here if you need any help. Cheers! And thanks again! ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:25, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Will do, thanks. Home Lander (talk) 00:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Suppose I could ask you while I'm here, do you know how long someone should generally be on here before requesting Wikipedia:Rollback permission? I read up heavily on vandal patrol, general policy etc before joining and jumped in headfirst, and nobody else is reverting me so I'm assuming I've done a decent job. Home Lander (talk) 00:32, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Home Lander - You sure can! For me to grant rollback permissions to a user, that user needs to have a history of consistently and persistently reverting vandalism and properly warning users. On top of this, I also look for consistent and proper reports being filed at AIV that are accurate and correct, and result in the user being blocked. Once a good pattern of this is established and enough to where I know that you understand what rollback is for, what is and is not vandalism, and the demonstrated correct reversion of vandalism, I grant it away. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to answer them. :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 00:35, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Here's my edit history for what it's worth, and then I activated the CSD tagging log or whatever it's called, in my user area. Home Lander (talk) 00:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think the original article in question above may end up ultimately having to be protected also; see the IP edit that I reverted. Home Lander (talk) 02:27, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FYI

Hello O. I hope that you are well and that your 2017 has gotten off to a good start. Two things to be aware of in regards to this edit. First, on a page like that the template needs to go inside the noinclude. Pages like ANI transclude to other pages and those page will show up in the Category:Wikipedia pages with incorrect protection templates if the template is outside the noinclude. Second, when there is a template already in place on the page all you have to do is update the expiry time like I did with this edit. Don't wprry about this as it is not a big deal. I just wanted to let you know about it for future reference. Cheers and enjoy your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 04:44, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

User:Excelletor

Does this user seem like a troll to you? A report that I made at WP:AIV for this account has been sitting there for awhile. Can you take a look? Thanks. 172.58.40.190 (talk) 06:43, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
