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]

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

Thanks,

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.

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".

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]

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.

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]

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]

(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 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 born 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.
ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 09:56, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

ThoughtIdRetired - Thanks, I've added a response to the ANI. I hope that you two find a way to work things out, or that the right decision is reached with how to handle the dispute. Good luck to you :-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 10:24, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for your input. The problem is that WyndingHeadland is, quite simply, beyond reason. I do not say this at all lightly. If the sock allegation is true (and I am convinced that it is), numerous editors have tried to reach consensus (or even some level of understanding) with this user and failed. The extensive rebuttal that I made of accusations about my editing (with hindsight, this level of engagement was unwise) is the end of a long process of trying to engage with WyndingHeadland. I, personally, can do no more to achieve a positive interaction with them. User:Mutt Lunker is a much more experienced editor than me (and very well versed in the subject) - I hope you would take their opinions into account.
Where can I look for resolution on this, based on the above?.
Thanks, ThoughtIdRetired (talk) 11:25, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To elaborate on my mention of this users previous incarnation as User:Baglessingazump at the ANI discussion, I had recognised the editor's highly distinctive and idiosyncratic mode of expression at Scots Gael and its talk pages from a highly unproductive and time-consuming number of threads at Highland Clearances a couple of years ago. On checking the latter article it was no surprise that the new incarnation had returned to editing there and in a similarly unproductive and uncooperative manner. An inspection of Archives 3 and 4 for that article will give an indication of the pointlessness of attempting to cooperate with this individual, despite the patient and lengthy attempts of several editors. I would have to say that I would concur with User:ThoughtIdRetired that the user appears to be chronically and overwhelmingly impervious to reason or the will to cooperate, whether as a tactic or due to competence issues. You can, and I previously have, talked to them until the cows come home but to absolutely no avail. Mutt Lunker (talk) 12:20, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Really very sad level of backbiting going on. Note how the user Mutt Lunker isn't ashamed of following a disruption with a new one. He is actively linking his look for a fight. WyndingHeadland (talk) 14:05, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please see this bizarre post by WyndingHeadland on 22:29, 1 November 2017 (UTC). The answer immediately after by User:Catrìona sums up what we all feel.

Patrick Brammall

Hi Oshwah, I believe you have made a mistake by removing my edits to Patrick Brammall and I would very much dislike having to re-add them as I am not tech savvy and it took me awhile to add even what I did. To solve the problem though I would like to say that I did have a source (an australian newspaper) but I obviously did not add it correctly as the interface is not very user friendly. This is my source: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/canberras-patrick-brammall-joins-offspring-20140528-zrpvc.html Please re-add all my edits but put them down as my edits under my name if possible, if not then tell me how I can re-add them with my source, Thank you.

Farris.hassan (talk) 11:57, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This edit was reverted due to being unreferenced per Wikipedia's biographies of living people policy. It looks like you've since re-added the content as well as supplied references to them - perfect. My concerns are concerns no longer ;-) ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 12:46, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page watcher)@Farris.hassan: The cited source says "Also Canberra-born, Brammall is most well-known for a number of television roles, including in A Moody Christmas, Upper Middle Bogan, and playing Rupert Murdoch in miniseries Power Games: The Packer-Murdoch War." so there's no mention of which suburb Brammall was born in and there's certainly no mention him being divorced or who he was married to. If you can find a source which mentions he was born in the suburb of Kambah, then that information can possibly be re-added. Same goes for any information about him being married or divorced; otherwise, that information should not be added to the article. -- Marchjuly (talk) 13:12, 1 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reverand William Tennet (Senior)

Sorry for what I did to the page. Those of us involved with the protection and restoration of his house get upset when we see the wrong picture of Tennent used. It's either that oil painting (wrong period dress) or the use of William Tennent's son also named William Tennent. From the President of the Willam Tennet House Association: "according to Wendy Wirsch, President of the William Tennent House Association and Historian of the Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church, the painting of who is believed to be William Tennent that is used on the Wikipedia website is incorrect. Wendy is acquainted with Anne Tennent Cecil of Spartanburg, SC, who owns the painting. Anne had the painting examined by art experts. The portrait is that of a man who married into the Tennent family". https://www.facebook.com/william.tennenthouse

As far as our research has taken us there is only ONE rendering of William Tennet Senior and it's a silhouette. It can be found at Princeton's special collections library, the Philadelphia Prespaterian Historical Society and in Mary Tennent's bio on her ancestor William Tennent. Please remove the oil and replace with the silhouette, thank you.

Heyo Oshwah, just small request, but could you please semi-protect Tesco for a few days? There is this Youtube video uploaded today [3] that suggested viewers to include Tesco's vast "WWII military campaign" on to Wikipedia. There already has been a few vandals so far, but more is surely to come.

Now i feel old Edaham (talk) 03:47, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Edaham! It's a pleasure to meet you, and thank you for leaving me a message. Of course; my talk page is an open book and you are welcome to leave a message to say hello. You stated in your message, " Hope I can be of help at some point" - what did you mean by this? Oh yes, I grew up in the early 90's, so Windows 95 was the big thing and USB was very new and young. My parents forked out like $2500 for this machine, so it was what you'd consider a "top of the line" back then. We never used those ports, but remembering the year they purchased it and what the computer had... it took me a long time to appreciate what my parents did. They really went full out with that... lol ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 04:04, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
(talk page stalker) The 90s were the days... (or for me, the early 2000s) I remember fiddling around with config.sys and autoexec.bat trying to get MS-DOS and Windows 3.1 running optimally, and messing with I/O ports, IRQs, and DMA channels to get my sound card working. I had all sorts of queer interests and obsessions then too: I actually pretended my ESS Audiodrive was a Sound Blaster Pro! (which was something I literally could do as the model I had is 100% compatible if I recall). A few years ago, I managed to get an old computer running Windows 3.1 connected to the internet and browsed (I think this was before I became an editor) Wikipedia quite a lot on it, and the results weren't pretty . Maybe I ought to give WikiProject Computing the benefit of my experience? (or maybe not, as that would probably be original research). Adam9007 (talk) 05:24, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Another (talk page watcher) I fooled around with PC clones in the mid-80s to late 90s before getting Windows compatible unit. I never worked on them professionally, but I did rescue a couple of crashed clones at work a few times because I knew how to edit config.sys and autoexec.bat files. I had to laugh at "only 2 USB ports" as these computers were much older than that!
@Adam9007: As far your experience, it's not citeable, of course, but that doesn't mean it's useless experience either. Such knowledge can be helpful in sorting out vandalism, etc. - BilCat (talk) 06:34, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Oshwah - I hope I can be of help at some point, is a statement left open to interpretation within the scope of my ability to contribute to the project here at Wikipedia. If there's some task which needs doing (and you don't mind it possibly being delivered late and full of errors) feel free to let me know. I've actually thought of creating a blue "Open to direction" banner userbox with a clipart picture of a builder wearing a hard hat and a checked shirt for Wikipedians who are often at odds regarding what to do next and don't mind people coming along and pointing them in the direction of a job which needs doing. I grew up around computers in the 80s, which is probably why I never got into computers in a big way . I did build one before though. It was fun! Edaham (talk) 07:48, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

updating Belgium offshore windpark

Hi there,

I see you are deleting my edits on Belgium windpark because of lacking references. I'm not logged in since I am at work right now, but I am Codiv and I noticed this page is totally outdated. I'm a professional offshore planner and you can for instance check on the 4coffshore.com database. So please restore my edits. And I think it is rather stupid to delete updates if you do not have a clue that the update is wrong and it is rather easy to check the page is outdated.

Best regards,

Codiv — Preceding unsigned comment added by 145.50.39.8 (talk) 12:30, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Hey! I reviewed the edits you made to the page Wind power in Belgium and the problem with them is that you haven't provided any references for the updated information. Many of the inline citations are still from 2015. Any information that is in the article should reflect the information in the citations so that it can be cross-checked by a reader should they wish to do so. You are free to remove those references and add new ones - provided they are independent and reliable sources - and update the information accordingly. Hope this helped!

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions

> Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions — > the one you made with this edit to Hot wire barretter— because it did not appear constructive.

Of course you reverted it. But not because it wasn't constructive, but because you are not qualified to understand the subject.

My contribution was to point out that the "Electrolytic Detector" has absolutely nothing to do with the "Hot Wire Barretter".

And I even predicted that you would revert it (in the Talk section).

I'm a retired RF Enginer with a lifelong commitment to researching the history of early radio. I have accumulated an enormous collection of early books at my own expense.

For years I patiently contributed to Wickipedia, only to find that my contributions were reverted by pompous self-elected arseholes who had zero understanding of the subject matter, and zero interest in correcting the ludicrous errors in Wickipedia.

Whatever, this is a classic example of what is wrong with Wickipedia.

And why so many are ridiculing Wickipedia today. People like you just don't care. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.18.11.19 (talk) 12:37, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Hey! The reason Oshwah reverted your edit is because the article is not the correct place to point out mistakes in it. The place where that should be done is the talk page of the article. I see you've already posted there but it didn't get enough traction (that tends to happen on relatively low traffic articles). I'd suggest raising the issue at the talk page of WikiProject Electronics so that more people who can understand the technical terms related to the subject get to know about this and a proper discussion can take place. Also, while making your arguments at the discussion, I'd suggest looking up reliable sources to back them up. Your experience in the field can certainly help, but we can't make changes to Wikipedia based only of personal experience. Any additions or changes must be backed by independent and reliable sources. Hope this helped!
P.S. I know it can be a little frustrating sometimes to correct information on Wikipedia due to the sheer number of policies and guidelines but I can assure you, with a little bit of patience and some discussion, anything can be resolved! :) Jiten talk contribs 13:33, 2 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Oshwah, I am replying in response to your restoration of content on the Melbourne Route 5 Tram page. What I did was create a seperate template for the Route map, and make some slight improvements to the route map. That is why it appears that a large amount of content was removed, I was just creating a template page with the same content, in order to make it easier to edit the template alone.

In the mean time, I will reverse your changes, and will be cautious to ensure that I provide a reason for deletion. Feel free to reply to me if you have a question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raleigh98 (talk • contribs) 02:51, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Oshwah:

You removed a link from the Psalms page referring to "A Guide to the Psalms of David" sold on Amazon. The book contains a modern heartfelt English translation of all 150 psalms, plus a detailed index (one of its kind) to each by purpose, theme, etc., Based on the following guidelines from the external link page. I believe the link is valid and can benefit Wikipedia readers by informing them of a resource not available anywhere else.

please reconsider

thanks so much

Steve

"Wikipedia uses the same standards for evaluating links to websites owned by for-profit and (real or purported) non-profit organizations. Links to potentially revenue-generating web pages are not prohibited, even though the website owner might earn money through advertisements, sales, or (in the case of non-profit organizations) donations. Choose which pages to link based on the immediate benefit to Wikipedia readers that click on the link, not based on the organization's tax status or your guess at whether the website's owner might earn money from the link."

Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Psalms because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links.

(talk page gnome) @67.87.234.124: If the book is considered a good source for the article, it can be cited without a URL (including with ISBN), i.e. using {{cite book}} within <ref>...</ref> tags. These citations are usually expected to immediately follow the text it verifies and to also include page numbers. Sometimes a |url= parameter allowing access to the source is appropriate, like a Google books link. Direct links to bookstores are generally discouraged. —PaleoNeonate – 06:24, 3 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
