In defense of deletion

My edit on the article EDonkey network was removing broken links/references. 216.169.239.29 (talk) 03:16, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi there! The references you tried to remove seem to be working fine. Next time, you may want to see if other editors also see the links as dead or no longer working (or add {{dead link}} next to the URL so someone can verify). This way, we can confirm this and make sure it's not an issue on your end (such as the site being filtered or blocked, ISP or connectivity issue, those sorts of things...). Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Why did you let User talk:37.245.162.17 off with a light warning?

Oshwah User: 37.245.162.17's edit was very rude and offensive. I was thinking of writing a UW4 warning, or going to AiV. L3X1 Complaints Desk 03:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Just for this edit?? Really? Can it be translated as rude and/or offensive? Sure, of course. But it's definitely not at the level or severity that warrants an only warning to be given, and it definitely isn't serious or severe enough to warrant a report being filed at AIV to be blocked without a warning at all. The IP didn't end up making further edits; a Level 1 good faith warning is what should have been left, hence it was I left... since we're supposed to do so by default as much as possible. The IP didn't make further edits; a level 1 warning did exactly what it was intended to do. ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Spotted a problematic IP User

Found this IP User - 184.176.44.130 - who appears to have been unconstructive and very disruptive as well, from what has been written on their Talk Page. Figured you might be able to determine a course of action with them. GUtt01 (talk) 23:18, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi GUtt01! Sorry it took me so long to get back to you! I've been busy with real life mumbo jumbo lately and have just recently have had time free up so that I can be active again. Looking at the contributions from this IP address, nobody has made any edits from it since the beginning of January. Since we take action only when it's needed and at the time that actually calls for it, I'm going to leave things be and call it good. There's no point of doing anything otherwise. However, if you do see vandalism or disruptive editing that's in progress, don't hesitate to let me know or (better yet) file a report at Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Thanks for leaving me a message. Happy editing, dude! ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:53, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Revert

I reverted someone on this page, but an admin probably needs to deal with the account because it seems to be impersonating you. (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 01:47, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

Hi

Can you restore User:ThePlatypusofDoom/ACE2016 thoughts? I might want to keep it, just as a record. (I'm not sure, though, if I might CSD tag it again, if I decide that I don't want to keep it. I'm indecisive that way.) ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 19:01, 31 January 2017 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Thank you for your instruction, Oshwah! I will be sure to follow that then from now on. Thank you! It's a bit tricky getting used to this after being gone for so long. Have a pleasant day! MysteriousYo (talk) 20:58, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

MysteriousYo - I feel ya, man. There's a lot to pick up and a lot has changed, too. Stop by any time you need help. I'll be happy to do so. Welcome back, and happy editing to you. :-D ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 21:00, 3 February 2017 (UTC)

They have the tools and training necessary to verify your identity and assist you with your particular concerns.

Rob Stewart (actor)

I was reverted back just as you did. Going to investigate this further. Home Lander (talk) 00:06, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

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)

We edit conflicted, I found him just as you did. Home Lander (talk) 00:18, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

Will do, thanks. Home Lander (talk) 00:26, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

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)

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)

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)

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)

John fiore update

Dude. This is John fiore and trying to update My bio? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jfiore007 (talk • contribs) 01:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jfiore007, and thank you for your message. There are a few problems with the information you're trying to add. First, (assuming that you are who you claim to be) it represents a huge conflict of interest for someone to create or modify an article that's written about themselves; it's highly discouraged by the community, and these changes are usually reverted due to the fact that it's nearly impossible to edit and add content that's written in a neutral point-of-view. The content you added to the article wasn't referenced to a reliable source, which is the reason I reverted your changes. Original research (citing personal or first-hand knowledge, personal relations or involvement, or even sources or references that you've written yourself) is not allowed on Wikipedia - you cannot edit an article and state that "you're the source". If you are who you're claiming to be, then you need to contact the Volunteer Response Team by clicking here. They have the tools and training necessary to verify your identity and assist you with your particular concerns. If you have any questions, please let me know. I'll be happy to answer them.

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 worry 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)

Hi MarnetteD - Sorry for taking so long to get back to you regarding your message. Busy life is busy ;-). Wanted to thank you for the message and let you know that I appreciate the heads up. Totally didn't know about the ANI template and how there's an argument for modifying the top icon - that's cool to know! I'll make sure to take note of that for next time I need to protect that page from the world of trolls. Hopefully I won't forget by then... lol ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 23:58, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

I asked the anon for a ref and the editing stopped. Is it a depreciated parameter or is someone funnin' me? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:11, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi @Jim1138:. See Template:Infobox_royalty#Parameters, it says: This parameter is deprecated per Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)/Archive_126#RfC:_Religion_in_biographical_infoboxes (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 11:37, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

@The Quixotic Potato: Thanks. Herman Van Rompuy (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs), Yves Leterme (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) (possibly others) use {{infobox officeholder}} which does not say "depreciated"; should it be? I think that's why I was confused. Jim1138 (talk) 11:46, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

@Jim1138: The template documentation is often outdated, because no one bothers to keep it up to date. So yeah, the template documentation of {{infobox officeholder}} should probably be updated. I am not sure what the best way to do that is otherwise I would've done it myself. There is a difference between "depreciated" and "deprecated" BTW. Depreciation is lowering of the price or value. Something that is deprecated is no longer in use/outdated. (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 11:56, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

@The Quixotic Potato: That itsy-bitsy "i" doesn't really make any difference, does it? Just add a /doc to the template should take you to the document page. template:infobox officeholder/doc. Just add and delete a few "i"s somewhere? Hope I didn't cause too much work for you! Jim1138 (talk) 12:10, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

@Jim1138: Oshwah will update the template documentation for us. (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 23:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

You blocked the user GuessWhosBackMofos (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log). The template you posted on the talkpage says: "give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website", and the block log contains the words "Promotional username, soft block". How is that username promotional? How does that username give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website? Why doesn't the reason in the blocklog match the one in the template on the talkpage? (((The Quixotic Potato))) (talk) 23:39, 4 February 2017 (UTC)

Oh, that's weird. Looks like the wrong block reason was applied. I remember this user - it was a suspected sock puppet account, and the username represented a UPOL issue as well.

Afro-American or African-American?

I seem to remember somewhere on Wiki to use "African American". If there is one, would you please let me know what the policy page is? I didn't turn up one with a search. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 20:53, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

(talk page stalker)I'm not aware of any such guideline, though I would go with "African American" as well. "Afro American" can be read as a stereotype referring to the hairstyle, and just doesn't sound encyclopedic, since it's just a contraction of "African American", anyways. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 15:54, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Jim1138! I don't know of a "policy" on the top of my head, but I'd imagine there is one. I'd also agree that using the term "African American" in this context is the most neutral, appropriate, and encyclopedic form of the word. Hope that helps! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:36, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

I can't find that article. I think I made about 1,200 edits since I last edited/discussed it. The anon changed the link from "African American" to "Afro-American" or something like it. I have seen this several times in the last month. I asked about policy at the wp:village pump. Thanks Jim1138 (talk) 22:41, 7 February 2017 (UTC)

Reverted edit to Loften High School in Gainesville FL.

I disagree with your opinion that my edit is non-substantial. My reasons are 1. The article prior to revision incorrectly indicated that Loften High School accepts students who are in a specific geographical region within the city of Gainesville, FL. Loften is currently an application-only magnet school. 2. The grammar of the prior version of the article is internally inconsistent--both suggesting that the student body is different from other high schools "Unlike other schools..." and then describing its student body as being drawn from a specific geographic area, just as other area high schools' student bodies are.

It looks like you've made a follow-up edit to the article here. This is a more approprate way to reflect these changes, rather than simply adding "not" to the article (such as what you did here, hence why I reverted and warned you). I'd also make sure to cite references with the changes you've made. Otherwise, your changes can be challenged and reverted. Thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns.

Madhuri Dixit

Hello

In the section "personal life" of the Indian film actress Madhuri Dixit's page it is written about her affair with Sanjay Dutt. It is written as if it was a well acknowledged fact. But actually it was a media made up rumor which both the actors totally denied many times. It also says that Madhuri ended the relationship after Sanjay was arrested, but it was nothing of the sort as they never had anything more than friendship. This is why they continued to have mutual respect. Original scans of old interviews of both the actors, and others confirm it. The following blog has several scans of original interviews of both the actors' and others from those years.

https://madhurimania.wordpress.com/2016/06/10/madhuri-and-sanjay-affair/

With film actors lot of gossips float around, wikipedia cannot be a place of mentioning all those gossip. Specially this one is mentioned as if it was well confirmed by both the actors, which is totally the opposite. Such entry vilifies the dignity of a person and also compromises the authenticity of wikipedia.

So I would request you to help me to edit out this slanderous piece of info about the actress.

Analyst2017 (talk) 12:24, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Gulf of Oman

Hey Oshawa, how you doing? I really need your help. My friend has been blocked for trying to give a right info on wiki. Topic is gulf of Oman. I've resources of the international hydrographic organization that proves there is only gulf of Oman, there is nothing called sea of makran. We're here to correct what's wrong! Why are you blocking us and giving the ability for the other user to put false info about that topic? The using that put false information says its sea o makran with no international recognition. Is that fair for us as a Wikipedia users. I'm here asking for help as soon as possible. How it's possible for a user to add false information without recognitions! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Omani112233 (talk • contribs) 15:47, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Halidj Makran (Gulf of Makran) is a Persian name for the Gulf of Oman. The fact that Gulf of Oman is the most recognizable name for the place doesn't mean that other names for it don't exist. They are the same thing, not different things. All it took was a very basic google search to verify this. For that matter, your "friend" was blocked for edit-warring and disruptive editing. These are appropriate and temporary blocks. When the block expires they may resume editing normally, however, continued disruption, edit-warring and personal insults will make their wikicareer very short. So please suggest to them that they modify their approach and visit the talk page before making controversial edits; consensus is not optional, it is required. Somebody also needs to tell your "friend" that bodies of water can have multiple borders with multiple nations and that it's entirely normal for them to have many names because of this. The Adriatic sea, for example, which borders Italy and one of my home countries (Croatia) is know to us as the Jadransko more and as Mare Adriatico to them (Italians). I'll tell you straight up; POV pushing combined with personal attacks tends to very quickly lead to indefinite suspension of editing privileges. Mr rnddude (talk) 16:11, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Well, looking at the article's edit history and the meatpuppetry that is occurring (possible sock puppetry as well), the fact that the disruption and edit warring is over a content-related dispute, and no discussion has been taking place on the article's talk page - I think it's time for some full protection. It looks to be the logical next step to combat the disruption as well as force everyone involved to discuss the dispute and come to a resolution. It's clear that disruption and edit warring would continue to occur until this protection was applied. Hopefully everyone will sort this out. Three days of full protection should hopefully be short enough. Cheers! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 16:42, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

A fair compromise. It'll give both this editor and their friend the opportunity to learn about the Wikipedia process and getting consensus for contentious changes. Nicely done, Mr rnddude (talk) 16:46, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

Mr rnddude - Awesome! Thanks for helping to mentor them and show them Wikikpedia's guidelines and how the different processes work! This will help them to understand and learn how everything works.

Deletion under A3

Hello Oshwah, you recently deleted the page Exhortation under CSD A3. However, WP:A3 clearly states that it does not apply to soft redirects to Wikimedia sister projects, which is exactly what that page was. Please clarify. RedPanda25 21:45, 8 February 2017 (UTC)

RedPanda25 - First of all, I owe you a couple of apologies. I apologize for taking so long to get back to you regarding your message. I've been very busy lately with off-wiki life (work, mainly) and I haven't had a chance to follow-up with messages lately until project deadlines were met and other fun stuff were done. I also owe you an apology for the deletion of the page. I, for some reason, didn't notice that the page was a soft redirect to a sister project. Hence, you are correct - A3 does not apply to soft redirects to sister projects, and the page is not eligible for speedy deletion under this criterion. I have restored the article and removed the CSD tag with the reason for removal. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to assist you further. I appreciate you for bringing this matter to my attention so that I could fix it! I hope you have a great rest of your day, and I wish you happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:42, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Taylormt91 (talk) 00:34, 9 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Taylormt91! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. I've been busy lately and am just now able to catch up with my messages. Your edit here, as well as your message above - have multiple issues or concerns. First, regarding the edit: The changes you made to the article removed content that was referenced by (what appears to be) reliable sources, and replaces it with content that wasn't referenced to any sources at all. If you're citing the fact that you work for this company and know about these changes you're making personally, this constitutes original research (which is not allowed on Wikipedia). All edits that contain content that is challenged or likely to be challenged must be referenced by a reliable source. Otherwise, your changes can be challenged and reverted. In this case, it was easy; you removed referenced content and replaced it with content that wasn't. My second concern: Are you being paid or compensated by the company for making edits to Wikipedia? If so, then you are required to properly disclose this per the Wikipedia terms of use. See the link I provided you in the previous sentence for how to do this. Undisclosed paid editing is a violation of Wikipedia's terms of use. If you're being paid to edit Wikipedia, you must understand and follow the policies and guidelines provided on that page. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns, and I'll be happy to assist you further. Thanks again for taking the time to leave me a message. Best -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 00:51, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Gulf of Oman

Hey Oshwah, I really need your help. The users Vsmith and Bazonka are yet powerful in wikipedia, Changing the topic information into false information and without citations and without any organisation recognition and the topic is "Gulf of Oman", They said they'll be removing the citations and the reliable sources given after the protection times ends! Help and don't let such users destroy wikipedia trusted sources, We trust wikipedia and we don't want any players to get it! why don't you check the sources by yourself and protect the topic without ending? Please don't ignore this.

Hi Omani112233 - You need to discuss these concerns with both Vsmith and Bazonka on the article's talk page (if you're not doing this already - see that you're all in a discussion there now). If you feel this way, then you need to support this argument with evidence and reliable sources that meets Wikipedia's guidelines on sources and verifiability. This is information that most logical and reasonable editors will ask for in support of your argument - original research (i.e. "I personally know this to be true" or "I saw it with my own eyes") isn't sufficient proof to support your argument and isn't allowed on Wikipedia articles. I don't know Bozonka well, but I've interacted with Vsmith a few times and his responses from what I've seen have always been logical and reasonable. If you have any more questions or concerns, you're welcome to message me. However, it's usually best to bring concerns about content or other editors directly to them so that they can help you. Keep discussing the issue on the article's talk page, and most importantly... do not edit war. Resolve the dispute first before you edit the article. Happy editing and good luck to you! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:41, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

P.S. Thank you for your website because it helps me with school projects and i apreciate all the information but some of it is really irrelevant. i highly doubt the queen of saudi arabia is the Mrs.Butterworth syrup lady and i doubt she lives in a giant pancake again have a nice day 165.138.195.104 (talk) 16:10, 10 February 2017 (UTC)BisforBatman

(talk page stalker)I don't think a single message qualifies as spamming, let alone "all the time". Nor was there any sharing of IP addresses with you. I think you should read the message (which was a courtesy) more carefully and not be so touchy. If you're getting these notices regularly, then I suggest you read WP:5P and register for an account. ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants Tell me all about it. 16:46, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello Oshwah, thanks for the reply. I have made the request in the talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Madhuri_Dixit you advised me to "ping everyone involved so that all users can weigh in." But unfortunately I am not aware of who are involved and also I am not familiar with wiki editing, as a result couldn't do anything else, sorry about that. I only know that this particular content was not there even few years back. Thanks for your help. Analyst2017 (talk) 04:45, 11 February 2017 (UTC)Analyst2017

Hi Analyst2017! Thanks for leaving me a message with your concerns. To ping another user and notify them about a discussion or response and include them, simply type {{ping|[USERNAME]}} within your message. So if I wanted to ping you, I could type "{{ping|Analyst2017}}" (followed by your message) to do so. To find out who you need to ping, you need to view the article's history to figure out the users that are either reverting your changes or making edits to the article that you disagree with. Simply navigate to the article and click on the "History" tab. This will show you a list of every change that's been made to the article, who made the change, and exactly what was changed. Locate the relevant change (or what we refer to as a "diff" - short for "difference") to figure out who you need to ping. You should also copy the URL to the diff so that you can show the user exactly what edits you're concerned about. More information is available on the help page regarding article history, which is located here. Please let me know if you have any more questions. I'll be happy to help you further if you need it. Cheers! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:03, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

L.S. inc. - Umm... why do you need this permission? That user right (mass message sender) is not handed out generally, and the needs and requirements for the rights are for very specific purposes... ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:47, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

I see,oshwah, mass message sending is for bots. thanks,anyway.L.S. inc. (talk) 23:23, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

L.S. inc. - No problem. Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions or need help. There are no stupid questions here! Only trolls, maybe... lol ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:11, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

See my response above. Not sure what you're asking for and why you need it. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:48, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for the revert ;)

I've rangeblocked an IPV6 range that was basically just all them. Let me know if they come back again and I'll deal. Thanks! - Alison ^❤ 04:12, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Alison! Thanks for the message! It's good to talk to you again. Sweet deal; glad it's been dealt with and that you were able to determine the appropriate range. I'll definitely keep an eye out if the range block doesn't fully contain the issue. Cheers! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:50, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

User:Lao Consulting Group

Appears to have created an equally problematic new account (username wise) User:Lao Consulting--Cahk (talk) 09:11, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Cahk - Yup, that username is no better. I soft blocked it so that the user can create a new account (hopefully this time it'll meet the guidelines - haha). Thanks for the heads up! Much appreciated! ;-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:52, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Dear Oshwah, excuse me why didn't you tell me I vandalize Wikipedia ! And why did you remove my edits in "Khun Srun" ? (cur | prev) 04:49, 17 February 2017‎ Oshwah (talk | contribs)‎ m . .

Hi Domrey sar! My apologies; I didn't realize that you've made other edits to the article (which were also reverted) - I've restored those changes. The reversion was made due to this edit, which I mistakenly thought was unconstructive. I see now that it's definitely a good faith edit that probably just needs grammatical improvements; definitely not vandalism. I apologize for the confusion. I've restored your other edits and removed the warning I left. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns. I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks for leaving me a message, and I wish you happy editing! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking the socks. Could you also delete Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sigurveig Jónsdóttir (which they created). 172.58.41.33 (talk) 05:04, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

 Done. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:09, 17 February 2017 (UTC)

It looks like you deleted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sigurveig Jónsdóttir(2nd Nomination), but not the one above... 172.58.41.33 (talk) 05:10, 17 February 2017 (UTC)
