Austria page

When I went to the page it said "Hello sonny boy my bicc boyyyy" and the country fact box was gone. I was trying to delete it. The page that was displayed was the one last revised by Brenodn245, and not the one by MusikAnimal. So, I tried to change it back to the original one that didn't say "Hello sonny my bicc boyyy" but accidently reversed the edit by MusikAnimal. I don't know why it was displaying the Brenodn245 edit instead of MusikAnimal which was the most recent edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.57.189.125 (talk) 00:43, 12 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could you determine if Calfmessy (talk · contribs), already blocked, is another Fernando-the-King's sock?

Question

Hi Materialscientist. I got a message from you, I am not very familiar with much of Wikipedia, and I am not sure I know how to properly reply. Your message probably had to do with the removal of my edit to the "avogadro constant" wiki page. I do not understand why anybody may have done that. What I know for sure is the the reported motivation for the removal is ridiculous. If you care to reply, please do so by email at the address stehbar@gmail.com. regards - Stefano Baroni — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefanobaroni (talk • contribs) 13:06, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I recently made an edit to Ukiah, California in which I added the famous and renowned Tattoo Artist, Lyle Tuttle to the list of Notable people. Lyle Tuttle is the reason tattooing is as popular as it is today, which I'm sure you have the slightest idea about. However, Kat Von D is listen in the notable people of Monterrey, Mexico. Kat Von D wouldn't even be an apple in the public's eye had it not been for Lyle Tuttle's contributions to the industry. Pull your head out of your ass and give Mr. Tuttle the recognition he deserves. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.151.104.91 (talk) 03:56, 6 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IP making hoax edits on BLPs

Hello, I noticed that you just reverted an edit made by 112.210.102.97 (talk · contribs · WHOIS). I have just reverted another edit by the same IP, a hoax edit (diff) on Dolphy, a BLP about a deceased Filipino actor, changing the article to look as if the actor is still alive and active. The same type of edit on Dolphy, plus similar edits on multiple other BLPs, were made by 112.207.221.104 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) three days ago (diff), an IP that was subsequently blocked as a sock of long-term vandal User:Christian2941, with a lot of clean-up required afterwards, and also by 112.207.192.211 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) (diff) (an IP that I haven't noticed until now, but that has made the same type of hoax edits as the other two). So I would appreciate if you would apply a quick block to the new IP112.210.102.97, based on WP:DUCK, and perhaps also to IP112.207.192.211 (even though that IP doesn't seem to be active now) so that we can minimize the damage...

The Growlers Greatest sHits Album

Hello, Your concern about my edit is reasonable as it does involve a word that may be considered vulgar, and I'm glad that there are people who monitor the pages to ensure that the content is as helpful as possible. With that being said, the name of the album is Greatest sHits. It is an obvious play on words that the band has used to name their album. My only intention was to provide truthful information in order to ameliorate the false information provided. Thank you for expressing your concern and if you need proof this link will no doubt provide it. http://www.last.fm/music/The+Growlers/Greatest+sHits — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.15.211.169 (talk) 23:23, 14 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AshokSundari

In that article you are inserting sources which are unvalid. WP:RS clearly states that only academic sources like books can be used as references for mythological articles. None of the sources in that article are academic sources. Also those sources provide incorrect and inaccurate information and are unreliable. They say that Ashok Sundari married Nahusha and Yayati was grandfather of Nahusha. However in actual Nahusha married Viraja daughter of Pitrs not Shiva. Also Yayati was son of Nahusha. Wrong information itself is a sign of unreliability.

This English translation of Padma Purana tells about Nahusha and Yayati but does not mention any Ashok Sundari:

As far as this matter is concern it is atleast proved she is not mentioned in Padma Purana. Also she is actually only a character in a play [ http://books.google.co.in/books?id=zB4n3MVozbUC&pg=PA1090&dq=Ashok+Sundari&hl=en&sa=X&ei=HxTKULaAHtHoiQLQ_4CYDQ&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=Ashok%20Sundari&f=false] by Sambhu Prasad.

I had to accept your edit

Heya. I don't quite understand why this edit was showing up on my watchlist as needing accepting. You're an admin, so I thought it should have approved that automatically; it does with me. Was it becauase there were two previous IP edits that also needed approving (by different IPs to the one you reverted?). The logistics of PC does confuse me sometimes. GedUK  12:09, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This happens very often, and I don't know why (I can accept my revert, but only after the revert). I guess it is a PC bug, maybe related to delays in refreshing the wiki database, but I haven't studied it. Materialscientist (talk) 13:03, 18 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I appreciate you trying to improve my page. However, I do not like the citing style that you introduced. I think my references look quite chaotic now, but I guess that is a question of personal taste. If you make those changes however, I think you should follow proper citing styles and use journal abbreviations as I used them. If you look in any kind of professional essay, you will see that abbreviations are commonly used.

Hi

I'm the Wikipedian in Residence at the Natural History Museum in London. I've been offered a small amount of time for someone to take electron microscope images of entomology specimens in the collection. Do you have any recommendations of species?

Range block for IP-hopping vandal on Space Elevator?

Hello Materialscientist, Thanks for the block on the IP edit-warring on Space Elevator. It now looks like he's IP-hopping and continuing the same war. Exact same wording, no efforts to form consensus. It looks like his current range of IPs is 74.82.64.xx. Do you have range blocking powers?

Reversal of rolls: vandals making it look like they are trying to remove so you keep it in.

I have seen this today on four different articles: McAfee, BBC Radio 1, Norton AntiVirus, and Heart (radio network). One of the editors copy & pastes a section from one area of the article into another location or new section. Three out of four times it has been a section like "Criticisms" being moved into the lead, or an "Overview" section. On these three the initial copy & paste was done by User:Mark D Hemmingway (see notes on his talk page).

After the initial addition of text multiple other editors come in looking like vandals and remove it multiple times. Usually leaving an edit summary that directly points at vandalism (e.g. "because it is CRAAAAP that's why"). Some regular users see this and revert these edits thinking they are vandalism when in reality the edits being reverted are actually removing the cleverly disguised disruptive edit/vandalism. The point appears to be to get the original edit to be part of the article, by the inertia/confusion of multiple editors reverting it back in.

The following editors participated in this today, all with the exception of User:Mark D Hemmingway and 188.28.240.27 are now banned:

I am mentioning this to you because you were one of the editors who was reverting back in the disruptive edit on two of the pages, . You might want to keep a look out for this type of activity in the future. Makyen (talk) 11:39, 20 December 2013 (UTC).[reply]

Automatically archiving your talk page

I noticed that you get a large volume on your talk page and that you archive it using a partial edit history method. Would it not be easier to set up auto-archiving, with a short time to archive (e.g. 7 days, or less), rather than have to take the time to empty this page every month? If it is that you desire to be able to take a break every once in a while without the new threads being archived, you can always turn it off prior to a break or revert the archiving if you forget to do so.

On Quantum Gravity

Hi Material Scientist,

Regarding quantum gravity (QG): It is said by many that QG still has no definitive battleground. I wonder, what makes someone like yourself an authority on QG to judge the validity of different approaches? Would it be better to allow some new approach that has a solid quantum logical foundation to be known rather than to continue the promotion of untestable and deemed "not even wrong" approaches by many?

Single stack .45c Glock 21 magazine

In this edit[6] an anon user added a sales site source for a single stack cartridge which is not a desirable source. I'd love to find the magazine in a source like the "2012 Standard Catalog of Firearms: The Collector's Price & Reference Guide" but the catalog doesn't mention the magazine stacking. I did find a picture of the actual 10 round and it is single stack but the Glock site is no help. You have better source inventory?

The IP editor blanked the page again, and a different editor undid that. I believe that IP editor just made one more silly edit, and a different editor undid that. Is there any way to block that IP address editor?CorinneSD (talk) 20:46, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Clovis Watson Article

Hi,

You contacted me stating my recent changes to the Clovis Watson article provided no reliable sources.

While I have ample sources for everything I wrote in that article - I will not dispute I did not provide them.

However - There are three thing cited to back up the entirety of the rest of the article. If you are going to "patrol" for sources - then I suggest perhaps you might erase the rest of the article other than that which states his date of birth, etc. and the fact that he "is" in the House of Representatives and that he "did" switch parties (the only things with sources to back them up - even though the Gainesville Sun, especially with regard to Clovis Watson, is hardly a reliable source.

Nothing in that article is produced via sources - it is all fictitious propaganda created by the people who "operate" Clovis Watson.

Let's start with easy stuff. You removed for example my corrections to his academic records. What sources exist to back up the claims made currently.

I know that this information is false - because I have his actual transcripts (and have placed them on scribd (http://www.scribd.com/collections/2280041/Proof-of-Fraud-Academic-Fraud-Clovis-Watson). I have also done all the research to uncover the multiple elements of fraud involved in those claims - including having all of his "earlier" resumes (his own produced resume is NOT a "reliable source" by the way). These include claims to OTHER degrees he never earned.

Perhaps if you don't like my re-edits - you would at least start with the transcripts - and "fix" the fictions put onto Wikipedia by Watson and his allies. They even removed my previous edits - where I added the link above to the actual transcripts - because they did not want anyone to see them.

Please let me know when you do. I certainly would hate to see all the rest of the false claims made in that "article" kept up on Wikipedia without a single reliable source.

Or do you want me to re-write the edits - and use those transcripts to provide a DETAILED point by point PROOF of the many, many lies being told by Watson in that article? And then go from there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.89.158.131 (talk) 21:31, 24 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Materialscientist,

Thank you for removing the links I added on the Photon and Virtual Photon pages so quickly. These were my first attempts to contribute to Wikipedia and it was heartening to know that someone is paying such close attention. Regarding your advice to look at the welcome page, actually I read it in detail and it said " Don't be afraid to edit – anyone can edit almost every page, and we are encouraged to be bold" As other Wikipedia editing information indicated, I thought a link to very pertinent information would be appreciated.

In the spirit of fostering future online cooperation I suggest you read "The Decline of Wikipedia" here: http://www.technologyreview.com/featuredstory/520446/the-decline-of-wikipedia/

Since you have not had a chance to read the paper "The Two Body Photon" formerly available from the link you removed ( https://sites.google.com/site/twobodyphoton/ ) I suggest you read it now so that you can advise me in how to incorporate the information it contains into the Wikipedia information. Since I am new at editing Wikipedia I will need help correcting the errors in the Wikipedia article. It appears if I edit it myself it will just be reverted anyway so there is no sense in wasting my time as long as you are around. Please read the paper carefully and with an open mind and enjoy the holidays! K0RTD (talk) 00:28, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for deleting my post about the Fuskies. You must be a big UW fan. Truth hurts, doesn't it? All those losses adding up, it must hurt a bit. I understand that as a wikipedia administrator you have the right to delete posts you don't agree with, so that's why I'm not going to bother redoing my edit, because you're going to just go ahead and delete it again.

Ki Hajar Dewantara

If you have time, would you look at the last few edits to Ki Hajar Dewantara? An editor removed a category, "Indonesian revolutionaries", with an edit summary saying something to the effect that this is a subjective term and that it needs to be discussed/sourced. The editor who had added the category undid that, but the edit summary made no sense to me, so today I undid that, with an edit summary saying that the edit summary had made no sense, and urged the editor to discuss it on the Talk page. The original editor again undid my edit, adding the category back in, but I still don't understand the edit summary.CorinneSD (talk) 17:24, 25 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Please clarify which article that I edited that you deleted while citing no references.

I received a message from you stating that you deleted a change that I made to a wiki article. I am not sure which you are referring to and would appreciate further clarification. I regularly edit wiki entries dealing with corporate culture and specifically articles dealing with the ENRON CORP fraud. My goal is to correct misleading information about those crimes. My source is direct personal observations and experiences. I worked at ENRON CORP before Ken Lay did and I was in the next room when he got his job. I have multiple direct interfaces with him and other executives both at corporate headquarters and at field locations. When it became obvious to many of use that Lay was engaged in criminal activities, I left. I then worked for Enron's lead bank, First City Bancorp of Texas where I was hired by the CEO & Chairman of that bank. I also worked directly with the CEO of what was called Collecting bank and that CEO was the first CEO of Enron Corp. The last job that I had before retirement was a VP of JP Morgan Chase which became Enron's lead bank. Later I was a party to the class action suit against JPM Chase for conspiracy and collusion with Enron in it's crimes. I think that I am in a unique position to comment about most things about Enron. I have tons of Enron documentation and many documents that were never made public. I could go on but it might be in vain unless you could reference the wiki listing you mentioned. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.125.254.29 (talk) 07:51, 27 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Peach foliage damage by earwigs

Hi Materialscientist. Just received your request for a reference for earwigs eating peaches. The only reference I have at hand is a German-language gardening website, but it has a couple of photos showing the characteristic damage:

http://forum.garten-pur.de/index.php?board=25;action=display;threadid=35543;start=0

I suppose the photo is copyrighted, otherwise I might have tried adding it.

My hunch is that earwig damage is due to the early mild springs we have been having in the past 2 decades, here in England at least. Added to the fact that the little monsters feed nocturnally, most people have not noted earwigs as a pest in the traditional textbooks. You need a torch after dusk to see them: 3-4 of them on each tip! Small trees are killed, established ones survive but do not bear fruit, as the blossom is eaten first. A greaseband applied just before the blossom solved the problem for me: we had a crop of over 100 nectarines per tree in 2013. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.137.36.35 (talk) 10:03, 31 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hersi Matmuja

Hi, I've seen that you have reverted edits by another user in this page, saying that a reliable source is needed. In the talk page of that voice I have published several reliable sources (including a question asked directly to the person in object) that prove that her birth name is Hersjana Matmuja and that her stage name is Hersi Matmuja, but still now other users don't think that those sources are reliable. They say that the only reliable source is eurovision.tv website and other Wikipedia versions of that voice... Good, but now that also eurovision.tv website has corrected the error (without considering that some other version of Wikipedia, like the Swedish one, already talked about the error and reported the correct version of the name), nothing has changed and edits are still reverted. So the question that now I ask to you is: which reliable source prove that the singer's name is Herciana? No one! --ale83_webmaster (talk) 01:08, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Could I have an answer, please? Thanks in advance. --ale83_webmaster (talk) 14:15, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps a more well mannered text would give you the attention you want. Just as you say now that the text has been changed in the eurovision.tv source and it has been "corrected" it could perhaps be changed. But for that to happen you can not act like a angry brat towards the one you want to make the change. You can not expect people to be polite towards you and take notice of your requests if you are not polite back. Just a tip. regards--BabbaQ (talk) 23:37, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
But considering how you have POV pushed this I would still be surprised if Materialscientist responds to you. Just being honest. Regards,--BabbaQ (talk) 23:47, 2 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think I've ever written anything ill-mannered in my comments, but the only "wrong" thing that I did was to insist too much. If I did this, though, it was only because I found people like you and other ones who, even after I brought the evidence that showed that in the Wikipedia article there was a mistake, you have denied the obvious and continued to keep the mistake, saying also that, although in the future the error had been corrected in your reliable source, PERHAPS it would have been corrected on Wikipedia (and you've just confirmed this also in the comment immediately above), as if you are the only one who can decide what is right and what is wrong.
However, I'm not angry with you, and if I exaggerated, I apologize to you. If you want, we can go back to the talk page of the article to discuss and face the issue quietly, with both of us evaluating each other's opinions and then peacefully we can decide what to do. What do you think about this? Best regards, ale83_webmaster (talk) 00:29, 3 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Materialscientist,

Thank you for your comments. I have just joined the Wikipedia community so please forgive any breach of etiquette. I added the link to the discussion of Wellness Tourism because I was quoted in the article, and since I have been writing, researching and living the topic since prior to 2004 I thought it would be a relevant site for anyone interested in more on the subject of wellness tourism and wellness travel. I now realize that I should have linked directly to the appropriate URL and I will do that now. Thank you again for pointing this out.

Billy Wright

Hello Materialscientist,

You reverted an edit I made concerning Billy Wright. The current descriptor is "English - Irish Commander". He wasn't English, he wasn't Irish and he certainly wasn't a commander in any official sense of the word. He was however, a convicted terrorist who was murdered in prison. Perhaps "Convicted Terrorist" isn't perfect but it has the singular advantage of actually being true; something the original does not. Can you please explain?

Thanks!

Hello there - I note you've deleted my updates to my biography which is woefully out of date - so much so that a BBC Radio 4 show last week credited incorrectly because they referred to mu Wiki page. How can I make the edits and additions when they are of my own resume and biography? Not sure how it can link to verifiable sources for such changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tellyguy (talk • contribs) 12:33, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you recently [reverted a revision] where I removed a NotMovedToCommons template because an image was already marked KeepLocal saying that NotMovedToCommons and KeepLocal are different (and by extension need to remain together). My intention in removing the NotMovedToCommons template is to clear the backlog in Category:Wikipedia_files_moved_to_Wikimedia_Commons_which_could_not_be_deleted. Clearing this backlog means we can focus on images that need to be fixed to make it on to Commons; retaining NotMovedToCommons on a KeepLocal image only results in cluttering up the category which isn't helpful. Please let me know your thoughts. Thank you Cube00 (talk) 13:35, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it should not be moved to Commons - it was moved by non-admin, in 2012, when Commons and Wikimedia Foundation were yet unsettled about the recent URAA developments [9]. Nominally, PD-Sweden is compliant with URAA, but there is a problem in it which I still haven't figured out how to solve. Materialscientist (talk) 14:11, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
What if I changed NotMovedToCommons to the "Do not move to Commons" template with your justification above? We can get the backlog cleared and your reasoning is still clearly recorded on the page. If that isn't acceptable what if I nominated the Commons version for deletion and let the community come to a decision? Cube00 (talk) 14:16, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
{{Do not move to Commons}} is written for images that are free in the US. This is a different case. Materialscientist (talk) 14:22, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It also handles "any other reason". If you set the reason= parameter the only text that appears is "Do not move to Commons" and your reason text, no reference to free in the US.Cube00 (talk) 14:25, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Technically that would work, but {{Possibly non-free in US}} nicely explains this case, which is why it is in the image file. Materialscientist (talk) 14:29, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Very true however that still leaves "NotMovedToCommons" on the page which what I'm trying to resolve to clear the backlog category. Since we already have "Possibly non-free in US" on the page and also "NotMovedToCommons" would it be acceptable to you if "NotMovedToCommons" was replaced with "Do not moved to Commons|reason=..." leaving all other existing templates? Cube00 (talk) 14:36, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Again, NotMovedToCommons nicely explains the situation. I am fine with removing KeepLocal though. Materialscientist (talk) 14:45, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
My only interest was trying to get Category:Wikipedia_files_moved_to_Wikimedia_Commons_which_could_not_be_deleted under control; best of luck resolving this tricky case and thanks for your time. Cube00 (talk) 14:52, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I kicked off a deletion request on Commons to see what they thought and they asking for some dates, thought you may be able to help (I understand you didn't ask for the deletion request so it's up to you if you want to partipate in the discussion) Cube00 (talk) 04:09, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Automotive industry in Hong Kong

I was looking at the deletion log and saw that you deleted Automotive industry in Hong Kong claiming not enough context to identify the subject of the article. That's complete bull. The title is "automotive industry in Hong Kong" and that is the subject of the article. It's important to get speedy deletes right, since it is one of the least scrutinized parts of Wikipedia. Ego White Tray (talk) 05:14, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Redeleted, though a redirect might be in order. There is no use arguing about few-word articles (yes, the title defined the topic, but the body was not complying with it). Materialscientist (talk) 05:20, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I can't help it that the USA is the only country that can't spell it's own language correctly. All English articles which are not specifically for the USA should be written in internationally accepted English, not the other way around. Please refrain from editing my edits in future.

Aksum and Eritrea

I added a source, but haven't the foggiest idea what this editor's problem is. I'll probably block him if he continues this. Dougweller (talk) 09:53, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Same here - I've just quickly looked at maps showing a clear overlap of Aksum and Eritrea and didn't bother with adding a ref. - the editor needs to articulate the problem one way or another. Thanks anyway. Materialscientist (talk) 10:01, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Accuracy Issues Kingdom of Aksum and Eritrea

MaterialScientist

Sorry for what I have done to get the attention of the person who wrote on the Kingdom of Aksum and Eritrea. I read a lot on those pages which perhaps should be examined. For instance: 1) the writer mentioned a "Hamasien Republic". This is incorrect. There has never been a republic by that name, at least in that part of the world. 2) the map depicting the kingdom of Aksum is also not accurate. The kingdom was established in the Northern Ethiopia region which is now Tigray. It did include some parts of present day Eritrea and the ports, but It doesn't include the whole present day Eritrea 3) the Writer said that Modern Human beings expanded to the rest of Africa from the Red Sea cost but this too is erroneous.

Eritrea may have its own history during the sixty years it fell under the Italian occupation and twenty three years it won independence. Beside that ,it has been an integral part of the Ethopian/Abyssinian/Aksumite kingdom. It didn't have it's present day shape, it didn't have it's present day name (which was given by the Italians). But What I read there made me to think that the writer might be an Eritrean who want to give an exaggerated content of history for his new country. That is not fair as it would mislead the readers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elyaad (talk • contribs) 10:58, 8 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
