Hello Mr Oshwah,I guess I don't understand the rules.Everything I wrote about the fraud was from Worcester District Court and I provided the docket numbers,perhaps you could let me know how to set this up so it passes muster,thank youDaubje (talk) 02:03, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Daubje! No problem; I'll be happy to explain Wikipedia's policies and guidelines regarding your edits to the article. Any edits that add content about a person who is currently alive needs to be supported with a source that meets the guidelines on Wikipedia for being considered reliable - especially the edits add content that's contentious, controversial, or negative in nature. Is there an online link or a URL to the information regarding that docket? Just adding a docket number isn't sufficient in this situation (it's easy for someone to just throw random numbers together and claim that it's a legitimate case docket. If you locate and reference the same information and include a link to the court documentation that directly states and verifies what you're adding, you'll be just fine. Until then, I have to consider the content as unverified and treat it as such due to the severity and the nature of the content and the policy. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them and help you. Thanks for the message, for understanding, and for giving me he opportunity to assist you and point you in the right direction. :-) Happy new year! ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:10, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

I accessed the electronic files for Worcester District Court,with the 1462CV001159 number,it takes you right to the entire court proceeding,is that sufficient to prove that this is truthful? Thank youDaubje (talk) 02:38, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Jock Mahoney

I am unclear as to why you removed my edit. Sally Field makes the allegation in her current memoir. It is referenced on her own page. It is certainly as much a part of his story as any of his film credits particularly since the allegation is made by someone who is notable in and of themselves.

From the Sally Field page under "Early Life"-

Following her parents' 1950 divorce, her mother married actor and stuntman Jock Mahoney. Field alleged in her 2018 memoir that she was sexually abused by Mahoney during her childhood.[2][3] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:8003:2E21:AE00:FDDF:3C41:85F:D8F (talk) 03:10, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Umm... That's because you added very contentious content to this article without a reliable source being cited in-line. That's why I removed your edit to the article. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:29, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

I am disappointed in the outcome.I pasted a link to the actual court decision but apparently the truth doesn't suffice,as you removed it anywayDaubje (talk) 03:22, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Deleted user page AEK1961

I am at a loss as to why you felt it necessary to delete my user page. I have been engaging with a number of other admins with no problem. All I am trying to do is understand the way you work to get corrections on a page. It does seem that multiple inputs are arbitary and disconnected to the input of others . . . Pls advise —— — Preceding unsigned comment added by AEK1961 (talk • contribs) 07:07, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi AEK1961! Thank you for leaving me a message with your questions and concerns regarding the deletion of your user page. I went ahead and took another look at it, and I'm inclined to agree that you're correct and that I perhaps misread a sentence or something else that made me believe that deletion of your user page was the right action to take. I've gone ahead and restored it for you. Please accept my apologies for what happened, and please do not hesitate to let me know if I can help you with anything else. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 07:27, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you, I appreciate your response but have to ask why on earth multiple, seemingly unconnected admins, can dabble like this. From my perspective the whole process of engagement is marked by disconnected individuals taking a variety of contradictory actions some of which come across as deliberately obstructive to the point of bullying. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AEK1961 (talk • contribs) 07:31, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi again AEK1961! I'm not sure what you're referring to exactly. Can you elaborate a bit more and provide a few examples so that I can answer your questions? Thanks :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:43, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Quite simple really, different individuals seem to take unilateral action based on their interpretation of posts etc. This is done whilst others, previous to their intervention have signalled approval and thanks for my transparency in the detail I provided and we were moving the editing of the page I was interacting with forward. Beyond that in editing the page different individuals would add their 'edit' which was without reference to anyone else, including one who it transpired had a COI. In doing this referenced evidence was ignored and more detail requested despite an earlier editor being satisfied. On to of this I found myself previously barred, prior to your intervention, as a first response by another admin for infringing a rule that was not apparent until the multiplke reference pages referenced were investigated.

What was the source that said he was known as Duff "Rose" McKagan? Was the singer known as Axl "McKagan" Rose?

Hi Oshwah - Re Ziggy Stardust album release date

Hi there My web page is www.5years.com (The Ziggy Stardust Companion) I specialise in that album and the 16 June release date does not agree with any references or Bowie books I have read in the last 20 years. I did see it crop up recently in a booklet for the Five Years boxset (2015) but again I think thats a very recent mistake which has now been repeated on Wiki Happy to keep chatting about this. regards Mike Harvey [REDACTED - Oshwah] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.97.169.186 (talk) 09:29, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Sorry, but this constitutes original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please review this policy, and make sure you understand that Wikipedia requires reliable sources to support the information.

Claire Wineland

Hi there..thank you for your note regarding a change I made to my daughters Wiki page. This is the first time I have done any Wiki editing and would love to understand what edit you were referring to so I can try to adhere to policies. Melissa.Yeager1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Melissa.Yeager1 (talk • contribs) 12:46, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Melissa.Yeager1, and thanks for the message! Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial before you spend time making any more edits or changes. It will provide you with many helpful walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will be helpful to you. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them and it led to them being saved hours (if not over a day's worth) of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise.

On a side note, I saw in your message above that the article subject you're editing is of your daughter. Please know that this represent a clear conflict of interest issue here when you do this. The community will typically not accept changes made to articles from editors who show a clear conflict of interest with the article subject like this. You should not be making any edits or changes to articles where this is a problem, and for many reasons - one of which being that it compromises the aritcle's content and its neutrality, since editors who modify articles in these conflict-areas will add content that reflect a viewpoint that is not neutral, which degrades the overall quality of the article as a whole. Please consider participating in other areas that interest you, but where this is not an issue. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks again for the message, and I wish you a great rest of your day and happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:26, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Will absolutely do the tutorial, thank you for the information. I am just trying to make sure her page is accurate and I don't see what you mean about conflict of interest but will educate myself on the wiki world. Is it ok if I upload a different picture? It is a family owned pic, just more recent than the one there. If you don't have time to reply, no worries, I will research my questions. Happy New Year (Melissa.Yeager1 (talk) 19:31, 1 January 2019 (UTC))

Melissa.Yeager1 - Go through the new user tutorial first before you decide to do this. There are copyright issues that need to be known and sorted out before you do this. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 01:53, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Daubje! That sounds perfectly fine to me! I believe that this was the only issue, so adding a reliable source would resolve the concerns expressed. :-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 12:58, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Daubje - Thanks for following up with me here and for letting me know that you modified the article. Looking at your edit here, I see where you re-added the summary of the events and mention some details of the court case and ruling, but I still don't see where you added a citation and with an external link to a web document or page where this information is stated and verifies what you added here. This is what I meant when I told you here that a reference is needed. Were you able to locate an external link or URL that points to the court case documentation that you're trying to source? Let me know. ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 13:36, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

I have put a satisfactory reason in the edit summary.

Hi there! Thanks for leaving me a notice here regarding your edit to the Young adult fiction article. The reason I reverted your edit to the article was because of what I noticed when looking at the overall edit history of that article. You removed content from the article and immediately reverted yourself twice. After I saw that you had removed nearly the same content a third time, I felt that it was the right thing in my capacity as someone who was patrolling recent changes because I thought that you may have been having issues or that you might have needed help to properly do what you wanted to do. I saw your edit summaries and (in normal context) I wouldn't have given your edit summaries much thought and I would have simply moved on to the next edit on my plate. When I said in my edit summary that your edit summary didn't seem "sufficient", I simply meant that, given your repeated circle of edits to the article that were ongoing, there seemed to be other issues that weren't being explained and I was going to try and work with you to see what's going on. Unfortunately, what often happens given the level of things I patrol, take on, and handle when others ask me for help, I got sidetracked with an urgent request and I wasn't able to follow up nearly as quickly as I planned on doing. My edit summary could also have been much more clear with what I was trying to say; I left it assuming that I'd be following up with you right afterwards. Looking at it today and given that I didn't, I'd understand how it could have been interpreted to mean that you had left no summary at all - which obviously isn't the case. It looks like the content is going into dispute due to the number of editors that are becoming involved with the issue at-hand. I hope that things get resolved peacefully and that the right decision is made and with the quality of the article's content, and the project as the primary focus. Thanks again for the message, and I hope my response here explained my thought process and that you now understand that I as only trying to step in and try and help. ;-) Cheers - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:06, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

John McTiernan

Hi Oshwah,

Regarding the change of edit I made, I find your change to be inaccurate, and biased. Perhaps you believe McTiernan is a “former” filmmaker, but I do not. So how do we rectify that?

Calling someone, who is alive, “former” is not correct. Much akin to your sabbatical while in school.

Please leave the “former” omitted.

Thanks.

FactsMatter1 Factsmatter1 (talk) 03:49, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Factsmatter1 - Someone who is still alive can be a "former" employee of a career path. They can change careers, retire, or quit - so please know that you don't have to be dead to be a "former filmmaker". In fact, someone who is no longer alive should still be called a filmmaker, etc. - the word "was" will imply that they're now dead. Please let me know if you have any questions and I'll be happy to answer them. Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:07, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

User page deleted

Hello!

After editing an article, I started working on a user page, so people could see my credentials (just like I show my students how to check the credentials of Wikipedia writers).

Imagine my disappointment to see you deleted if for being a personal webpage. Three sentences about myself constitutes a personal page? How shall I word it so it remains?

Yourfavoritelibrarian (talk) 17:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi Yourfavoritelibrarian! I apologize for misinterpreting your user page in regards to WP:NOTHOST and WP:UPNOT. To explain and to put things into perspective: Unfortunately, many editors will create an account, add stuff to their user page (either a bunch of stuff about themselves, a bunch of blatant advertising, or something that are serious violations of policy. They'll add this content, make no edits to Wikipedia outside of that page, and then they'll leave. Part of what I do is review these pages and remove the ones that need such. I misinterpreted your user page as one of those places, and for this I owe you my apologies. I'm restoring the content you added to it now; give me about two minutes and you'll be able to see it as you could before. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 17:07, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Changes to Bob Cranmer page

I maintain the Bob Cranmer page. Mr. Cranmer wrote a best-selling book titled "The Demon of Brownsville Road" which has its own Wikipedia page. People who are not aware of this occasionally add to his personal (political career) page facts that are related specifically to his book, which is referenced on the career page. Mr. Cranmer is a former notable politician and his personal page primarily covers his career. Details about his involvement with his book are covered at length on the book's page.

Hi Sceneridge, and thank you for leaving me a message here with your input. When I read your edit summaries left with your removal of content, I interpreted them incorrectly and thinking that you were saying that the content should be removed simply because the article subject doesn't like it, which was the reason why I reverted them back. Now that I read them a second time (as well as your explanation here), I understand now what you meant and I'll leave you to it in order to fix and improve. Please accept my apologies for the misinterpretation, and I wish you a great day and happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 18:27, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Alexandra Trusova

Hello, Oshwah. You deleted some of my contents. Russian nicknames, or diminutives, are simply short forms of the given name. As opposed to full names used in formal situations, short forms of a name are used in communication between well-acquainted people, usually relatives, friends, and colleagues. Short forms emerged in spoken language for convenience as a majority of formal names are cumbersome.

Sasha is often the nickname used for a person whose given name is Alexander (male) or Alexandra (female).

Alexandra Trusova is known as Sasha Trusova. So I changed her name as Alexandra "Sasha" Vyacheslavovna Trusova. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AsamiSato28 (talk • contribs) 18:57, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi AsamiSato28, and thanks for messaging me and for explaining your edits. So long as it isn't disruptive and that it's referenced, that's fine by me and what's most important. If you haven't already done so, feel free to undo my revert and restore your changes back to the article. Please let me know if I can do anything else for you, and I'll be happy to help. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 19:00, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

my edit

dear oshwah, i am ahmad omar's daughter, and i was researching when i accidentally found this article on wiki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahmed_Omar). i was thrilled to see my father online, and i thought to myself, let me add two images of him that are saved in my personal laptop. these images are personal and are mine and i assure you copyright regulations will not be violated. i am confused as you have repetitively deleted the images i have uploaded and the minor changes i made such as the spelling of my father's name, saying i needed to cite it and provide a source. the images are personal and the information is personally confirmed accurate. i would appreciate it if you allow me to edit my fathers article a tiny bit and add a few images. i was also thinking i might add more about his life in his biography later, so i need your authorization to continue to edit. thank you, jana husamk festok — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janahusamk (talk • contribs) 19:09, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

Janahusamk - Sorry, but there are two issues here. Your relationship with this article subject represents a conflict of interest, and anything you add to the article represents original research, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. Please review these policies and guidelines and let me know if you have any questions. Since you're brand new to Wikipedia, I highly recommend that you go through and complete Wikipedia's new user tutorial before you spend time making any more edits or changes. It will provide you with many helpful walkthroughs, guides, interactive lessons, and other information that will be helpful to you. Most users who take this advice and complete the tutorial tell me later that it was significantly helpful to them and it led to them being saved hours (if not over a day's worth) of time and frustration they would've experienced otherwise. I hope you take my advice. I hope you have a great day and I wish you happy editing. :-) Best - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:27, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much for undeleting my page; here's a big ask

Hello Oshwah!

Thank you so much for undeleting my user page. Editing the Siegel page was the most exciting thing I did over break and having a username will be super useful when I teach the freshman about how to search the history of edits to a Wikipedia article. Here's a question: is it possible to change the author credit of my first edit on the Ralph Siegel page from my IP address to my new username? https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Ralph_Siegel&action=history You should be able to see that I'm writing from that IP address right now: [REDACTED - Oshwah]

Or do I just let it go and start editing other stuff?

Hi Yourfavoritelibrarian! I apologize for the delay responding to your question here. In short, it is not possible for anyone to modify past edits, revisions, or logs, and change them manually to something different. If this were possible, it would greatly reduce the confidence and reliability of each revision if this were possible. However, if you want your IP address hidden for privacy reasons, email me privately with this request by clicking here and I can do that for you. It will only suppresss the information, not modify it to be something else. I wish you well with your teachings, and I thank you for using Wikipedia to do so. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 02:37, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Racist attack

Hello @Oshwah: can you please advise where I can file an official complaint about racist and bigoted language used by Fowler&fowler (talk · contribs). This user has engaged in racist as well as religiously sectarian and communal language where the section was about clothing, but turned it into a Hindu vs Muslim argument. Using crude, disrespectful and bigoted language like "Hindu garbage". This is not acceptable in Wiki. Please let me know how I can file an official grievance regarding the user's racist attitude. Calling someone or someone's culture "Hindu garbage" is unacceptable. (Highpeaks35 (talk) 01:59, 3 January 2019 (UTC))

Hi Highpeaks35, and thanks for leaving me a message here with your questions and concerns. The comment by Fowler&fowler you linked above doesn't seem to be anything that he/she meant to purposefully say in order to be uncivil or racist toward those who identify as Muslim or Hindu, or anything against India (although I'd understand if you took things that way; the comment could have certainly been worded much better). I'd advise talking to the user directly by leaving him/her a message on their user talk page here - just be civil and express your concerns appropriately and with a positive mindset and I'm sure that this will be quickly and easily resolved. If you're not satisfied with the outcome of the conversation between the two of you, you're of course able to file an official report at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents to express your concerns (though I'll predict that the majority of the responses will be similar to the one I said above - that it wasn't an intentional attempt to be uncivil or racist). I wouldn't consider this an issue that needs a report there, but you have the right to file a report nonetheless. If you have any more questions or concerns, let me know and I'll be more than happy to help you. Thanks again for the message and I hope things get resolved peacefully and with a quick exchange of positive words with Fowler&fowler. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 04:56, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Deletion

Hello, i recently uploaded my user page as i would like to get a wiki set up in my name, and the page was deleted almost immediatly.after.

Hi TH Noah, and thanks for leaving me a message here with your questions and concerns. Your user page was deleted due to violating Wikipedia's policies on user pages (specifically, what you cannot have on your user page) as well as Wikipedia's policy on what Wikipedia is not to be used for (specifically, this section). User pages are supposed to be primarily focused on Wikipedia-related content and information, and not supposed to contain excessive content about yourself personally or contain mostly non-Wikipedia-related information (such as what your user page had). This is why your user page was deleted twice (by both myself, as well as Fastily later that day). Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns and I'll be happy to answer the and help you further. Thanks again for the message and I wish you a great day and happy editing. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:00, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

IRC assistance

Hello, how can a user get banned from accessing IRC? I recently was going to get onto #wikipedia-en connect, but apparently the screen says "you are banned". It seems annoying, however I am not sure how to resolve the trouble. Normally is a user told whether they are banned, because I thought usually a user would be notified. Can anyone be happy to help me understand the request? Because I only am there to talk to you, because it was in relation to the topic ban. Are you able to explain this to me, because I'm not certain. Also I can access other ones no problems :)

Also another quick one, how many users are needed to achieve consensus if a user was doing a topic ban. For example, if a user was being proposed ban from automobiles, do they need to have a set amount of votes. As i guarantee theres going to be an unfair advantage, as it'd be mainly Vauxford and others. I would like you to give me a quick hand. Cheers --EurovisionNim (talk to me)(see my edits) 13:20, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi EurovisionNim! Thanks for leaving me a message here with your questions and concerns. I'll be happy to answer them and make sure you've received help with your concerns. What IRC client were you using at the time to connect to #wikipedia-en? If you were attempting to use Freenode's WebChat interface (the built-in web IRC link you see on Wikipedia at many places), the ban you saw could have just been coincidental. During times of extreme abuse from users who are using the web IRC interface to cause disruption to the channel, ops will place a temporary ban that will disallow anyone who is unregistered with Freenode and using the web IRC interface from connecting. If you are currently in the channel at the time the ban is placed and it affects you in any way, you are notified of the ban as soon as it becomes effective and you're removed from the channel. If you attempt to join the channel and you're affected by a current ban, you will be disallowed from joining and you'll see an error notification with a reason for the ban. If more than 24 hours pass and you're still unable to join the channel, you can speak to a channel operator and inquire about your issues by joining the #wikimedia-ops channel and following the instructions that are displayed as soon as you enter. Please let me know if you have any more questions or concerns, or if I can help you with anything else. I'll be more than happy to assist you and make sure that all is well. I hope you have a great day and I wish you happy editing. :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 05:12, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Ray Sawyer (again)

I know why u removed my edit of the Ray Sawyer page, I forgot to cite my sources, that's clear to me. But I don't know why in the re-edit of Ray Sawyer Date of Death the DATE is NOW INCORRECT!?! Just because I didn't cite the source doesn't mean my information was incorrect, I did explain to u where I got my info.

According to Ray's official Dr Hook featuring Ray Sawyer Facebook page Ray passed away Monday morning December 31, 2018. NOT December 28 as it is now showing. This was posted to said Facebook page, related thru that pages moderator from Ray's wife Linda a few minutes after he passed Monday morning and is where I originally got the information I used to edit Ray Sawyer page that day (but forgot to include source). Could someone please fix that, I don't dare touch it again I don't like nasty notes lol.

(If you're uncomfortable with using the Facebook page as a source, u can also check Google)

Looking at possible and massive sockpuppetry on an article

Users Arnoc80 (oldest account), Atanuchaks, and Soumyaschaks introduce the same information constantly (peacock information about a specific person that may or may not be relevant to article), which has been reverted many times. There are also many IPs that do it, such as: 106.207.31.38, 27.61.97.85, and 106.207.101.151. Can you take a look at these three accounts and the IPs? I'm not experienced enough to file a SPI report on the matter. Thank you!

The article in question: Hetampur
There are so many diffs, I'll get back to you if I can, but please take a look at this. Arnoc80 is banned, but I fear the article may be hit with even more massive sockpuppetry attacks. Thanks for your time. Neo^t/_c 16:34, 8 January 2019 (UTC)

It appears that the link you gave me was to a page that has since been deleted - can you verify that you've provided a correct link and with correct spelling? Remember that page titles are also case sensitive - so a page titled "Example Page" would be different than a page titled "Example page" (note the lower-case 'P').

User talk:Cybeleta Re: Kenneth C. Martis The Historical Atlas of United States Congressional Districts: 1789-1983 The Historical Atlas of Political Parties in the United States Congress: 1789-1989 Thank you for your message explaining the need for more information for my edits. This is my first series of edits and I am learning the process. I have some questions about explaining changes: If Kenneth C. Martis provided information to fill in knowledge gaps, would it be appropriate for me to state that when I am making updates?

Is there a way to restore the edits that I made to those pages or should I redo the edits? Thank you Cybeleta (talk) 16:19, 28 December 2018 (UTC)

Hi Cybeleta, and thanks for leaving me a message here in response to the question you asked on your user talk page. Since your response didn't include a mention of my username, I wasn't notified that you had responded and asked questions. Generally, you want to include an edit summary with all of your edits and messages, and you want to briefly explain what you're changing on the page (or... "summarize your edit" - hence the name). :-) Edit summaries help other editors and users to understand what you're changing and why, and leads to less edit reverts and confusion. Can you clarify what you mean in your response when you said, "If Kenneth C. Martis provided information to fill in knowledge gaps..."? Are you saying that this person is giving this information to you in order to update the article? Or are you simply saying that you're citing or referencing a source and you're adding the information from those sources? If you're using sources to update the article, you simply just need to cite them in-line with the text you're adding. You also want to double-check that the sources you're pulling this information from is considered reliable per Wikipedia's guideline page here. Please clarify your statement for me and elaborate further when you can, and I'll be more than happy to help you. I just want to make sure that I fully understand your statements and that my answers are accurate. :-) Best regards - ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 06:51, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Your help is needed

Hello Oshwah
My name is Waqar and I'm new here. I recently created this account to edit and revamp the ACCA page (which you also did recently) and most of the other accountancy bodies' pages. Let me tell you that the ACCA page was full of clutter. But I am here to ask for your help as I'm a novice in all of this Wikipedia stuff, though I would really like to learn. So here are my questions:

1. My page at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Waqar_Hasan_Siddiqui shows a red link for Talk and Sandbox why?
2. What is a Sandbox?
3. How can I prevent non-users to edit the ACCA article without giving any reference (recently some fools edited it without any proper reference which led to misinformation, and it's quite frequent; it's also getting quite annoying)
4. What is the procedure to protect or semi-protect an article (I've seen a lock on a couple of articles before)

Please keep the answers as simple as possible. I know there is help available in Wikipedia pages but those are a bit lengthy, plus they contain a jargon which will take some time to master. I visited your page and am inspired by your dedication and the number of stars you got, but not your hair :) Hope to hear from you soon.
--Waqar Hasan Siddiqui (talk) 15:30, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Waqar Hasan Siddiqui - Have you tried going through Wikipedia's new user tutorial? That place should be simple and it shouldn't have any jargon - it's meant to be for brand new users who aren't familiar with Wikipedia. Give that a try and let me know how it works for you. If you still need help or still need help with the questions you asked above after completing the tutorial, let me know and I'll be glad to answer them. Welcome to Wikipedia! :-) ~Oshwah~^{(talk) (contribs)} 15:38, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Offensive message on my talk

(ec) @69 BigOof 69: Someone's personal statement, even if made in public, is a primary source, and as primary it is not reliable. Wikipedia is not interested in what people want to say about themselves, just what others say about them. See WP:SOURCES & WP:PRIMARY. --(talk page stalker) CiaPan (talk) 08:41, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

User 190.247.105.108 is attacking me

Hello, I would like to report 190.247.105.108 because he is attacking me. I told him to refrain from disruptive editing but he started attacking me. See this link: https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:VictorTorres2002&diff=877884509 He sweared at me in the edit summary. Also I've already reported him at the AIV and I'm just waiting for the block of the IP. VictorTorres2002 (talk) 14:39, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

• UPDATE: The IP user that I was reporting to you was just recently blocked for a month becuase of his actions by attacking fellow Wikipedia editors and as of the result. The IP became blocked again for the 3rd time. VictorTorres2002 (talk) 05:04, 12 January 2019 (UTC)

Battle of Benadir and Battle of Barawa

Hello Oshwah, hope you're having a happy 2019 so far. Sorry to hassle you again with this specific issue, but since you're already aquainted with it, you might remeber that a few months backs I requested a lock in the pages Battle of Benadir and Battle of Barawa due to persistant vandalism. Since a semi-protection lock doesn't seem to be enough, I have filed a request for indefinite full protection. You will find my reasoning in the talk pages of the respective articles as well as my request over on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection that I have made.

Best regards, Wareno (talk) 21:54, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

I'm not sure if this requires administrative intervention, but if you don't mind, please keep an eye at the topic.

Deleted the Diff link from the listing above - apparently the page has already been removed.--CiaPan (talk) 19:22, 13 January 2019 (UTC)

Requesting page protections

Can you put page protections for the articles Isis-Khorasan Province[[1]] and Open Defecation[[2]]? A sockpuppeteer called Abhishek9779 keeps making disruptive edits through various IP addresses.
