To Sir With Love

Have you watched the Hindi movie Imtihaan? It is in no way based on To Sir With Love. Please watch the movie since you seem to have found my comment untrustworthy, having therefore removed it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.124.130.216 (talk • contribs) 06:09, 29 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

My profile

Hi. I need a little help with my profile, if you could just start editing it that'd be great.

Thanks,

Despite waiting for a day and some AGF hoping that they would stop ,the IP are back to their childish editing pattern.

A username redaction I don't understand

Why did you hide the second username here? It looks to me like there's nothing wrong with it. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:42, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Od Mishehu - It's from that same LTA that continues to harass and out Drmies (assuming you're talking about this one)? While it's not disruptive, I believed it to be an attempt to "generalize" and attempt to do this while purposefully staying under the radar. Please let me know if you have any more questions, and I'll be happy to answer them. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 18:03, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weird edit by my IP

Not many people use wikipedia in my household and the edit is very weird, sorry for the inconvenience, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.15.166.29 (talk • contribs) 17:46, 30 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Dear Oshawah, i am Very sorry for my editing it was just for a humour and i wont do it again

sincerly

KSRQ

I updated the affiliation detail because "Independent Public Radio" doesn't exist any more, all I did was update the name to what it is - AMPERS

Educational Inequality

Your reversion to my deletion of the Albania section was in error. That section was written with a biased point of view with no sources. "Household income in Albania is very low. Many families are unable to provide a college education for their kids, with the money they make," can and should be sourced. "This population of students needs a path to higher education," is a normative statement. "Nothing is being done for all the young adults who are smart enough to go to college but can not afford to," should be sourced if it is a true statement. 24.2.50.242 (talk) 08:00, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PP

Hi, Oshwah - your PP at Chris Sherwin happened after the local consensus version had been reverted. As you can see,

That's when you added PP, and locked the no-consensus version in, so the edit warrior won over local consensus. You can see on the TP that local consensus wants to keep the section he keeps reverting. We were discussing possibly trimming it down a bit but that was it. Also, the edit warrior has been equally disruptive at the DYK nom. I don't know if you can restore the initial version and then PP it to prevent the edit warrior from reverting again, or what else you might need so please advise. Thanks in advance, Atsme📞📧 02:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) @Atsme: You might want to consider an edit request. There are instructions at WP:RFPP. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 02:57, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed with Dlohcierekim; an edit request must be filed. The discussion over whether or not to keep the section, as well as how much of it to trim, look to still be ongoing. I agree that consensus appears to be in favor to keep the section, but the fact that discussion regarding the amount and manner in which it needs improvement is incomplete shows that there is no consensus yet on a certain revision of the section. Due to these findings, I believe that an edit request and decision by another administrator is appropriate. I protected due to the reasons presented, the evidence I found, and the findings I determined at RFPP; this is the revision that it was at. As the protecting admin, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to factor any decision to change the current page revision. My main concern is that the revision that's protected now is in compliance with WP:BLP and it doesn't violate policies or contain vandalism. Another administrator can change if they feel the need to. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:13, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback permission follow-up

Hello Oswah, Thanks for your comment last week [1]. It was very useful to guide me to do more edits over a longer period of time. I was wondering if I should wait another week (or two) and continuing reverting or if I should post another request. Again, thank you for guiding me. Cocohead781 (talk) 04:17, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cocohead781 - I trust you enough to grant it now. Please make sure to read the policy page and use the rights in line with that policy. If you have questions, please let me know. If you're unsure about anything, please ask me and I'll be happy to help you. Thank you for doing such hard work, and I'm quite pleased with your accomplishments :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:43, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Conensus

Hello Oshwah, thank you for the closure at Special:Diff/808000240. Regarding "I made a vote in this discussion"; there doesn't appear to a contribution that could be classified as "a vote". WP:NOTVOTE reminds us "the use of the words "vote" and "voting" might not be the best choice". Would better phrasing be "I contributed to this dicsussion …"? —Sladen (talk) 08:50, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, done. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 09:30, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

More revdel

Hi, do these two revisions qualify for RD3? Thanks! ToThAc (talk) 15:59, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ToThAc - Nah. This is simply someone trying to troll with child-like insults. I typically consider RD3 for threats, harassment, accusations, statements, and revisions that are grossly inappropriate, contain links to viruses or shock sites, are large enough in size or contain text or characters that cause browser-crashing or alters the web page's interface to be unusable. Thanks like that. Let me know if you have any other questions or if you need my help with anything else. I'll be happy to lend a hand ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 16:40, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Got it, thanks! ToThAc (talk) 18:12, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Osh, most recent edit at above here looks like it might be a sock of the editor who made this similar edit and who you subsequently blocked after disruption at the article page. Cheers, Eagleash (talk) 16:17, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Towoju5! Have you read this guideline on how to do so? This should help you with how to cite a reference in-line with your content. Please let me know if you have any questions about the guideline, and I'll be happy to answer them. Welcome to Wikipedia!! :-D ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:40, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Religion in Nigeria

I just received your massage that you removed my update in population of muslims in Nigeria, may i know the reason why you did that ? or is there any string attached to it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Abbagoni (talk • contribs) 23:28, 31 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Abbagoni, and thanks for leaving me a message with your question. Your edit here looked to be opinion-based, and I removed it because of these concerns. We need to add content that's worded in a neutral point of view and without bias; please let me know if you have any questions about the policy, and I'll be happy to answer them. Thanks again for your message, and I welcome you to Wikipedia! :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:43, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Account Block

Hello Oshwah,

You blocked my account - ScenicMedia.

Per the issues cited in the block, I created a new account using my own name.

Please note, the original account was not an organization per se -- it's the name of my own LLC/sole proprietorship.

I just happened to create the account using that name because it's handy.

That said, I'm okay to leave it blocked (or if you can delete the account, that's okay too).

In any event, I wanted to let you know that the page created and edited yesterday/today was done so by me and not by a company for commercial purposes.

I also wanted to let you know my new account in case you had any additional issues or concerns regarding the page created.

Thank you!

JohnRHughes (talk) 00:10, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi JohnRHughes, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for taking the time to create a new account that's in compliance with Wikipedia's username policy. Your original username represented a partnership or business, which does not represent you as an individual person but an organization. This is not allowed, and the reason I blocked your original username so that you could create a new one. It's better to start off here with a username that's in compliance; had you used that account to make major contributions or edits, it would have been much harder to address the problem. Better to take care of things before they build and get bigger ;-). Please let me know if you have any questions, and I'll be happy to answer them. Again, I welcome you to Wikipedia and I wish you happy editing :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:46, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Personal attack, please resolve

I'm sorry to bother you, but I noticed your online. I'm posting at ITN, regarding the NY attack and someone posted the following, which I believe to be an extreme personal attack, it is unacceptable to call someone racist. Special:Diff/808129416 I've asked him to strike out and he refused. Please take care of it. Thanks. (As I later pointed out, the US Justice Department has strict rules for what is and what isn't terror and a shooting without motive is not a terror attack) Sir Joseph (talk) 02:03, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Sir Joseph - I hatted the entire discussion. It was getting out of hand, completely off-topic, and uncivil. I think this should take care of your concerns, and I hope that the discussion comes to a good and peaceful close. Please let me know if I can help with anything else. Cheers -- ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:16, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for collapsing, but that is not the same as striking out a vile personal attack. Telling me that my post is a racist diatribe must certainly be a violation of CIVIL or NPA. Sir Joseph (talk) 02:15, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sir Joseph - Yes, I agree that he could have chosen much better words to express his thoughts. However, I'd leave his responses be and don't alter them. You could always leave a message on their talk page, be nice to him, and calmly and professionally tell him how his response made you feel. I'm sure he won't mind, and (so long as you keep it professional and be nice about it) it'll start a good dialogue of communication. What do you think? ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:24, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oshwah, I sense that Sir Joe is extremely incensed by this at the moment, so maybe a third party would be best to post a little reminder as to WP:PA's on the perp's T/P. Simon. Irondome (talk) 02:30, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I want to give Sir Joseph the opportunity to talk to the user directly and resolve it between themselves; if the discussion doesn't come to a good result, I'll be happy to talk to the user. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:40, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, firstly, can you revdel the comment? It is still showing up on the page. Secondly, I did try to talk to the other editor but he said I can't post to his page anymore. I posted my explanation of my comment and how he is posting it way out of context, which shouldn't resort to a terrible personal attack like that regardless. Sir Joseph (talk) 02:43, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sir Joseph - It is redacted. And yes, I can certainly talk to the user. I'm sorry that you had to be sucked into that discussion.... ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:46, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, and I really apologize for bothering you, but when I open the discussion from the hat, I still see the comment. I did refresh to see if it's the cache and I checked in another browser but the "racist diatribe" comment is still there. I'm sorry to bother you, but I do think this is not the same as being called a jerk or asshole or other attacks. Sir Joseph (talk) 02:51, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Sir Joseph - I saw that. Another administrator beat me to the rev del; I just left a message letting him know that he didn't redact it completely. I don't want to step on any toes in case he meant to do something else. Also, you owe me absolutely no apologies. My talk page is always open to you and you are welcome to message me any time and ask for help, input, or to talk. I'll be happy to lend a hand. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:54, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is done. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:58, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Much appreciated. Sir Joseph (talk) 03:00, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ITNC revdel

Have to say that I disagree with your revdel over at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates, though I understand why you did it (it's certainly not "ordinary incivility"). I'd prefer that the attack, absolutely repugnant and nasty as it is, be redacted but in the edit history so that others can build an ANI case if a pattern of such incivility continues. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:06, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The ed17 - I'm actually glad you said something. That was my original thought as well, but I later took it back, but with reservation. While I know that this redaction will make Sir Joseph feel better, your argument for keeping it is right. I'm going to undo my redaction. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:11, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW CosmicAdventure‎ has been busy striking some of their more testy comments. -Ad Orientem (talk) 03:15, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) The ed17 - I've reverted my changes. Since Ad Orientem made the redaction to the edit that added the comment, I'm going to leave that one alone. Modifying it would be overriding his decision to rev del it. ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 03:16, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
All admins second guess themselves occasionally. Don't sweat it. :-) Sounds good. Ed [talk] [majestic titan] 03:17, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

All sources about Pınar deniz is Turkish

Hello All sources about Pınar deniz is Turkish. I translated from Turkish language. Sources are from official and news. What can i do? She has a page in IMDb.

Also the actress says in posta newspaper " i was in 1993. But my id card is 1994". Turkish: Adana’da doğdum, Mardinliyim. Yakın zamana kadar 1994 doğumlu olduğumu zannediyordum ama Galatasaray-Manchester maçının oynandığı gün olan 4 Kasım 1993’te doğduğumu bu maç sayesinde, yeni öğrendim.

User:WyndingHeadland

Please see a new ANI raised by User:Mutt Lunker with the article Scots Gaels involved.
This refers to the disruptive editor issue that you looked at. I appreciate that my handling of the issue has not made anything any easier, but if you look at the new complaint, and particularly on Talk:Scots Gaels I think you will understand the problem.
