WP:MEDRS

Medical content generally needs to be based on references that satisfy WP:MEDRS. You restored a bunch of content based on 1) very old refs, 2) primary sources, 3) sources were the person adding them have a COI

Yes, I know that you want to protect your own world of thinking. The Banner talk 15:11, 10 January 2018 (UTC)

Sourcing

Please stop adding unsourced or invalidly sourced content, as you did to Periodontitis. This contravenes Wikipedia's policy on verifiability. If you continue to do so, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Jytdog (talk) 17:13, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Edit war warning, plus ??

The content you are restoring is being added by an editor who is now blocked who has been edit warring self-cited, inappropriately sourced content into WP to support his notions about dental health, contravening WP:MEDCOI and many other policies and guidelines.

If you want to help, please find MEDRS refs to support whatever ideas are supportable.

In the meantime, all you are doing is unconstructive edit warring on behalf of someone who is NOTHERE.

Stop icon

Your recent editing history at Periodontitis shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See BRD for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. Jytdog (talk) 17:15, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

You are absolutely hilarious, Jytdog. I hope you have noticed that you have been engaged in an editwar? And the accusation that I am editwarring is a complete fabrication and faslification! The Banner talk 18:08, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
You were edit warring. Please read or re-read WP:EW if you think you weren't. --NeilN talk to me 18:22, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
I have just two edits in two days. In contrast, Jytdog had removed the info five times in a few days. The Banner talk 18:39, 11 January 2018 (UTC)
Yes, he is edit warring too. But my point is that your claim you were not edit warring is incorrect. --NeilN talk to me 18:53, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

References

Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. Remember that when adding content about health, please only use high-quality reliable sources as references. We typically use review articles, major textbooks and position statements of national or international organizations (There are several kinds of sources that discuss health: here is how the community classifies them and uses them). WP:MEDHOW walks you through editing step by step. A list of resources to help edit health content can be found here. The edit box has a built-in citation tool to easily format references based on the PMID or ISBN. We also provide style advice about the structure and content of medicine-related encyclopedia articles. The welcome page is another good place to learn about editing the encyclopedia. If you have any questions, please feel free to drop me a note. Jytdog (talk) 17:16, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

And this is the typical kind of bullying that everyone get who dares to disagree with MEDRS. A complete stranglehold to protect their own believes. The Banner talk 19:29, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Matter of Opinion

I see you disagree with my word choice of Scott Roeder as an advocate, and I certainly disagree with your wording of him as an extremist. In order to ensure that neutrality is maintained on Wikipedia, perhaps we should not use either one of those words, and simply refer to him by his name, Scott Roeder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegoodmanisamazing (talk • contribs) 16:48, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

This encyclopedia is based on sources, not on opinions. As the sources call Roeder an extremist, we should do that too. Nothing opinionated in following the sources, but whitewashing against the sources is stating an opinion. The Banner talk 17:01, 7 January 2018 (UTC)
Why not? --NeilN talk to me 18:19, 7 January 2018 (UTC)

Question

There are lies printed about Wikipedia authors on Talk:Northwell Health. Are these considered personal attacks? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:6A5B:B000:918C:ABAC:C10C:638F (talk) 01:14, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

The Conflict of Interest-tag? I do not think it is a personal attack. It is a statement of concern.
By far the best thing you can do is reading Reliable Sources and then replace all related external links to sources that are independent (not in anyway related to the subject), reliable (no blogs or social media like YouTube) and prior published. It is more than likely that newspapers reported about the group and new hospitals joining it.
Do not start fighting it head on. The guy posting it is a member of a team, and the only effect will be that you will get hammered and frustrated. Improve the article with sources and make the article neutral in style and tone. That is the best advice I can give you now. The Banner talk 03:48, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

regarding my edit on "Norse-Gaels"

I'm fairly new to this, policy-wise, so I'm afraid I didn't understand what you meant by "Linking to a page called "subject (disambiguation)" is an trick to allow a link to a disambiguation page without showing up in all kinds of maintenances pages." The Verified Cactus 100% 19:39, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

It means: you can leave it as it is.
Both Óttar and Ottar (disambiguation) are links to disambiguation pages. But in this case, the link to Ottar is on purpose. However, the first link will be seen as unintended link to a disambiguation page and picked up by bot creating maintenance pages with list of link to disambiguation pages that have to be fixed.
The link to "Ottar (disambiguation)" will also be seen by the bots but is programmed to ignore it as an intended link to a disambiguation pages.
There is no visual difference on the article page (the piping makes the difference invisible) with either link. But there is a difference how the link will be treated in the background.
I hope this shines a light on your question! There is a whole world of maintenance behind the curtains of Wikipedia The Banner talk 20:12, 14 January 2018 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Thanks! The Verified Cactus 100% 21:12, 14 January 2018 (UTC)

Citing sources

Now that I've had the bad luck of coming across you again, I see that on the German-Soviet Border agreement page, which you seem to be new to, you undid two of my edits and then left a cryptic message on my talk page asking me to familiarize myself with Wikipedia's guidelines and policies. Please elaborate on what policy or guideline states that requiring information to be cited with reliable sources is against any of Wikipedia's policies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thegoodmanisamazing (talk • contribs) 22:31, 19 January 2018 (UTC)

Regarding my edits on the FTP articles

Hi, you recently cancelled my changes for the following pages: 

* List of FTP server software
* Comparison of FTP client software
* Comparison of SSH servers

I'd like to apologise for changing the first page without paying attention to the red links, but the other two pages do not enforce the same rules and do already contain red links. Could you please revert back the two changes or provide an explanation, it's very confusing right now. We are still working on the approval of Draft:Pro:Atria in the meantime. Thanks in advance.

Stas` (talk) 20:02, 15 January 2018 (UTC)

Do you have an interest in Pro Atria? The Banner talk 22:33, 15 January 2018 (UTC)
I wrote the draft and gathered the feedback from both users who reviewed the article. They asked to obtain more references since the governmental websites are not enough. Stas` (talk) 17:47, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Appologies for raising this question again, but could you please take some time and explain the reason why you are reverting changes to the article edits from the above. Otherwise I will have to request the deletion of all these articles under the argument of Wikipedia:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Wikipedia_is_not_a_directory and I will have to request your activity to be reviewed.

Could you elaborate why the edits are SPAM and the rest of the page is not spam? Stas` (talk) 15:41, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
The difference is that all other programs have their own article, in according to the relevant guidelines. Your program does not have its own article and you are trying to circumvente that nasty detail by using a refused draft. Write a proper, neutral, adequately sourced article first, then try to add it to the list again. The Banner talk 15:59, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
The sheer fact that you start threatening me is in my opinion a reason to by highly suspicious about your motives. The Banner talk 16:03, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
You still didn't answer my question: why are you refusing contributions to the pages that already do not follow these rules? And I'm not threatning you, I'm trying to fight this lack of communication by listing my options. The articles above already go against the Wikipedia policy. Just try to be consistent if you're objective.Stas` (talk) 22:08, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
The answer is there, loud and clear. But that seems to be problematic, so: Wikipedia:Stand-alone lists. The Banner talk 22:14, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Based on the information from that page and the WP:CSC, the last edits to the last two articles were reverted without clear explanations. The lists fall under the Short, complete lists of every item that is verifiably a member of the group criteria. The reason I'm pushing this discussion is to provide a more consistent list/article on the topic of the file transfer related software. I don't ask for special treatment, I just want to understand the whole process and I expect consistency. I don't know how else can I improve an article. Thanks for all your time so far! Stas` (talk) 14:35, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
Instead of banging around, you could have tried to write the article. But you are more interested in rights and consistency than in an article that clearly proves the notability of the subject. To my opinion, you are acting like a marketeer. The Banner talk 14:41, 29 January 2018 (UTC)

FFA SPI

G'day from Oz; while I fully support your efforts with respect to FFA P-16, the recent SPI was ill-conceived. The edit by Molly Park showed clearly that it wasn't FFA, as he has never once formatted an inline citation correctly (and probably doesn't know how), whereas Molly Park did. Margaritaloulou showed a different sort of ineptitude to FFA's, while Ekcelsior's work consisted of fixing the sort of mistakes that FFA used to make and never realized that he'd made them. I very much doubt that FFA would edit an article to state that a Swiss town was in Sweden, as DustinMachat did. It seems that you have assumed that these people are socks because of the articles they edited, rather than the qualities of the edits themselves. I would not like for people to start thinking ill of you for opening unnecessary sockpuppet investigations. Cheers and regards YSSYguy (talk) 02:03, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Yes, I was indeed severely wrong with that SPI and I apologize for that. The Banner talk 09:41, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Goa??

Hello fellow Wikipedians,


This is the press release by Kadamba Coterie after their sentiments were hurt in Velliapura in 2013. Velim, 11 kilometers from Margao, South Goa. Dec. 21st 2013. [1] Mr.Venkatesha A. Upadhiaya today submitted a memorandum to the President of India Mr.Pranab Mukherjee, Prime Minister Mr.Manmohan Singh and Mr. Pravin Srivastava of Archeological Survey of India ASI, demanded to immediately acquire and save the 12th century, Kadamba Jayakeshi Southern Capital Velimpura site which is also the cremation ground of the last Ruler of Hangal located in present day Velim, South Goa a place of National Interest? from the possession of Mrs Ana Emerita, widow of a great Goan, late Roqiue Santana charging her for constructing on the scared grounds, denying access by locking the compound gates and playing regional card with the pilgrims from the neighboring villages of Karnataka who visit Velim once a year, a centuries old practice and as part of the Banavasi festival celebrations to pay their respect to the 1368AD Velimpura cremation ground of Purandarai-Deva the ruler of Hangal.


Warning the locals who were present here today not to be silent spectators to injustice done to the glorious historical past Mr. Upadhiaya a native of Belgaum lamented while reacting to regionalism that prior to his death in 2007 Roqiue Santana like his father in Portuguese colonial times always gave a warm welcome and supply of drinking water as a gesture of respect to the Kannada visitors at the site. Roqiue Santana popularly known as Father of Goa’s Democracy was the local elected representative to liberated Goa legislative Assembly. No doubt this family is Goan, like thousands of Goans they are of Deccan origin too?. Mr. Upadhiaya said.


Earlier, a man who walked up behind the secured gates calling himself the security for the Roqiue Santana family charged last years pilgrims of criminal mischief, theft and robbery as important antiques went missing following last Dec. pilgrims visit and said that the family has moved out of this country and ordered the driver of the tour bus to get going. Leading the pilgrims Mr. Upadhiaya? 82, denied? the allegation here today in Velim saying? that we are always protective of the family and do respect their privacy and recollected his family?s ancestors ties as Sarva-Karyakartas meaning chief secretary, a hereditary appointment up to the time when Governor of Madras presidency George Harris under Lord Dalhousie administration confiscated the Haliyal Timber and Construction Lime Co. goods of Roqiue Santan’s greatgrand father in Nov of 1855. Mr. Upadhiaya held that most of the pilgrims are the descendants of the? family?s Haliyal compound work force. Historians hold that Haliyal yard was basically? Goa? ruling Reigns Armoury and is today converted into Haliyal Bus Terminal. In his memorandum he urged Archeological? Survey Of India (ASI) to atleast save this Velim landmark for future generations.


According to this famous historical source held sacred by Hangal Coterie, Purandarai ruler of Hangal and family on the eve of his fall in 1347 secretly traveled over night to joined his daughter who herself took shelter in safer Jayakeshi Velimpura compound in 1345 when her husband was assassinated by Mohammedans at present day Chandor. A second wall stone Kannada inscription dated 1396 in the Velim compound marks the death and cremation of? Veenomai-Devi beauty and wife of? Suriya-Deva, slain Sovereign at Chandrapur palace, daughter of Late Purandaraideva, Kadambarasa of Hangal confirms this history. It can be infered from the Velim inscription that Goa Kadamba Suriya-Deva son of Beera, was married to the nearby royal bride who was his distance cousin. Mr. Upadhiaya said. Before adopting Portuguese Catholicism

Mr. Upadhiaya said. Before adopting Portuguese Catholicism this Velimpura family’s ancestors had given up worship in their temples for fear of Mohammedan trap, reinvented themselves as Haliyal timber lords where converted by Orthodox Nasranis of Malabar in early1400s.Some of the Syrian origin worship items and anointing oil alabastrons saved by Upadhiaya's great grand father and moved to Belgaum after the 1855 British confiscation of Haliyal compound is convincing evidence. Further, quoting Kannada stone inscriptions on Konkan sea pirate Timu 'enemy turned friend' recovered from present day Haliyal Bus stand tell that Timu in those crucial years provided protection for their ancestors in return for timber for his shipbuilding needs had exploited this converts fear issue and used Portuguese forces to drive Mohammedans away and enforced his Timu administration in Goa in 1510. The Portuguese? in a while overpowered Timu and colonized Goa. It is a well known historical conclusion that this Christian connection attracted early Jesuits including Francis Xavier to visit Velliapura first for refreshment before traveling inland for conversions, he added.

Prof. Nilkanth Sah Paddaam in this press release said here today that a six member delegation headed by Mr. Upadhiaya is leaving for New Delhi tomorrow to follow up with his memorandum. Dec/2013 Deccan Herald, Press Release/Nilkanth Sah Paddaam, Belgaum. Decan.reporter (talk) 15:33, 1 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedians, when you hit/click the reference please scroll down to this title:- ‘Roque Santana anniversary observed ‘ [2]. PANJIM, 11th Jun 2013: The 51st anniversary of the ‘Father of Goan Democracy’ late Roque Santana Fernandes who went on an indefinite hunger strike in Margao in 1962 which resulted in elections being declared for the first time in Goa in December 1963 was observed in Velim, Monday.

The late Roque Santana resorted to a fast unto death demanding that elected members and not appointed ones should represent Goa in Parliament, with the result that Gopal Handoo, adviser to then Lt Governor of Goa met him at the instance of then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. He gave up the strike, met Nehru and it was agreed to hold elections for the first time in Goa in 1963. It is for the democratic fight that he was hailed as the `Father of Goan Democracy.’

Late Roque Santana was subsequently elected to Goa Assembly twice in 1967 and 1971 and was awarded Tambra Patra for his contribution for Goa’s freedom. Decan.reporter (talk) 16:30, 5 February 2018 (UTC)

You said before that you had a hard time getting them, giving severe doubt to that fact that you are the owner of the copyright on these photos. "Have them" is not the same as "owning the copyright" (the photographer has that). The Banner talk 20:05, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Decan.reporter (talk) 15:19, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

That means you have uploaded the photo's under false pretences by claiming that it was "own work". It is not your work, nor are you the copyright holder. Sorry. The Banner talk 18:59, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

Altering a photo or owning a photo does not give you the copyright. The Banner talk 20:10, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

the exclusive legal right, given to an assignee to print by an originator

Decan.reporter (talk) 20:18, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

My advice is to start reading Copyright, Wikipedia:Copyrights and Copyright law of the United States. Unless you can prove it, in writing, that you are the copyright owner (who by law is the producer of the creative work, i.e. the photographer, not you.), you do not acquire the copyright by possessing the photos. Beside that, you claim of "own work" is clearly false as "own work" in relation to copy right means "I produced the creative work". The Banner talk 20:59, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

The Burren - Burrenbeo Trust citation query

Hi, I've returned after a short break to find a twice-reverted citation issue on my watchlist. As no one is proposing to remove content, this was a belt-and-braces kind of citation anyway, but I wanted to understand the point, as in all the good work on the Burren article in recent times, I would certainly have considered the Burrenbeo Trust, one of the most active and influential of Burren conservation charities, to be a potential source, as they actually do have quite a bit of expertise. The reason for deleting the citation was given as: "marketing-website is not a reliable source. Beside that, it is not an independent website but related to a major player in the marketing and funding" - but this is not a marketing body (they promote good agri-practice, historical methods, community events, and such like). As I gather you moved to live in the place, and have some local insight, can you clarify the problem with this potential source? Thanks SeoR (talk) 20:54, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

The issue at hand is that The Burren is subject to a strong marketing drive to bring tourists in. Companies and groups are well organized to bring as much tourists and subsidies in as possible. That is more important that details as farming and geological matters. The Banner talk 21:04, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
I am not a local in The Burren but a neighbour from co. Clare. The Banner talk 21:06, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Thanks for the note - and yes, I understand there is a lot of promotion of the Burren, which I see as harmless as long as people stick to facts and not fairy tales - and good to understand your context. But, and sorry if I am missing something, in what way does this fact impact the validity of an eco-charity as a reference source? No rush, I see no urgent need to add back one citation, but so I understand whether I might rely on their materials in some way. Now off to other parts of Ireland...SeoR (talk) 20:14, 10 March 2018 (UTC)

Sander.v.Ginkel

Just ran into two volleyball biographies that incorrectly stated the athletes were retired (unsourced, as well) created by Sander.v.Ginkel. Is there a cleanup section for the articles he created etc.? Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 15:00, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

I am not sure if their is a specific section for cleanup, I have to look that up. But please, if you can improve a dodgy SvG-articxle: do not hesitate to improve it straight away! The Banner talk 15:38, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
By the way: both drafts were replaced in main space before a check was done. The editor doing that was later identified as a disruptive sockpuppeteer. The Banner talk 15:40, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
Its a complete mess. I fixed two articles I came across. However, there probably is much more out there. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:59, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
Yes, it is. Most of his articles are dodgy but were protected by the sheer fact that theyr were about Olympians. But a lot of them were not covered by the sources (in violation of WP:BLP) or were plain copied (copyvio). To protect his mess, he even used a sockpuppet to avoid scrutiny. Beatley is another socjkpuppet, but in this case from somebody else. Still he did a lot of damage as all the articles he had moved back to mainspace need to be checked. See: User:Aymatth2/SvG clean-up/Audit notes/Beatley moves. Thanks for your efforts! The Banner talk 08:23, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

1st Regiment

Hi The Banner, thanks for fixing my mistake on 1st Regiment. The article does show up on maintenance pages, which is why I ended up there in the first place. It links to 1st Infantry Division (disambiguation) which is itself an ambiguous term that redirects to 1st Division. I had intended to change the link to [[1st Division (disambiguation)#Infantry divisions|1st Infantry Division (disambiguation)]] but left out the critical '(disambiguation)'. If you have no objection, I'll make the correct edit. Leschnei (talk) 12:15, 4 April 2018 (UTC)

UPA

The links you gave make hardly any mention of people considering Vatutin being a liberator. One does, and that was about renaming a street named after him because people felt he was not a liberator. And the one in French cannot be translated. I will correct your mistake tomorrow when I get the chance.

Your reading is poor my friend, as every page and article names him a liberator or involved in liberation. But do not bother about the article, as it is protected for a few months. The Banner talk 00:42, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

Section Blanking

Instead of section blanking the company pages of Star India and Zee Entertainment Enterprises which is really unhelpful, cant you just put a tag on top that the page needs to be edited better?

Notice that you are now subject to an arbitration enforcement sanction

The following sanction now applies to you:

You are topic-banned from everything related to genetically modified organisms, commercially produced agricultural chemicals and the companies that produce them. You are invited to request review of this sanction after six-months of productive, conflict-free editing in other topic areas.

You have been sanctioned for the reasons provided in response to this arbitration enforcement request.

This sanction is imposed in my capacity as an uninvolved administrator under the authority of the Arbitration Committee's decision at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/Genetically modified organisms#Final decision and, if applicable, the procedure described at Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee/Discretionary sanctions. This sanction has been recorded in the log of sanctions. If the sanction includes a ban, please read the banning policy to ensure you understand what this means. If you do not comply with this sanction, you may be blocked for an extended period, by way of enforcement of this sanction—and you may also be made subject to further sanctions.

You may appeal this sanction using the process described here. I recommend that you use the arbitration enforcement appeals template if you wish to submit an appeal to the arbitration enforcement noticeboard. You may also appeal directly to me (on my talk page), before or instead of appealing to the noticeboard. Even if you appeal this sanction, you remain bound by it until you are notified by an uninvolved administrator that the appeal has been successful. You are also free to contact me on my talk page if anything of the above is unclear to you. Sandstein 18:39, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

Something off my chest...

It is not an excuse or a claim for mercy. Just a frustrating fact that I again have fallen into the trap of my own body. Disclosure: I am again in a depression, a type of depression causing - amongst others - loss of self-control. I am aware that my block log and my depressions have a close relationship, but even that realisation comes on hindsight.

Now, on the eve of what looks to be an indefinite block, I just have to admit that I am again let down by my body. Medication works far too slow, fighting back on my own is far quicker. But the pitfall is there... The Banner talk 13:24, 30 April 2018 (UTC)

You do a lot of good work on Wikipedia, even I will admit that, and you do have my sympathy for your med issue, but perhaps in the light of your new TB you will be able to be less aggressive in your comments in other areas. The danger is that patterns can lead to other sanctions if they appesr to be recurring or systemic. Please take this in the most friendly way possible. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:26, 1 May 2018 (UTC)

quick question

Why did you remove the name of the child from Ann Lovett page - he wasn't baptised but baptism is a christian concept not necessary for the naming of a child. ☕ Antiqueight haver 12:53, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

The name is coming out of the blue with no evidence that the stillborn baby really got a name from father or mother. Last year I translated the page into Dutch but when checking the sources I could not find a name for the baby. The Irish Times article indeed mentions the name Patrick, but where is the name coming from? More then likely it is just a "work name", to make the case less anonymous. The Banner talk 14:47, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Ah, that's different from no baptism. I had seen the name mentioned in the article but wasn't looking to update the page. I was just surprised by the reason. ☕ Antiqueight haver 18:03, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
As far as I know, stillborn children are not baptised. I am not sure if you can register a stillborn baby at the Registry Office. The Banner talk 20:04, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
Neither is required for a family to give the child a name. I know people who lost the baby before that, knew it was going to happen and the baby had a name. ☕ Antiqueight haver 21:06, 6 May 2018 (UTC)
But the use in the infobox suggests that it is an official name and that is not the case. It is not even clear where that name is coming from. Who named him? Ann? Ricky? The grandparents? The coroner? The Banner talk 21:09, 6 May 2018 (UTC)

May 2018

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Gordon Ramsay. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Please be particularly aware that Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:

  1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made.
  2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. Tiderolls 18:19, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

You have nothing better to do than warn after just two reverts and while the relevant discussion was already opened? The Banner talk 18:31, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
On the contrary, I have many better things to do. However, your refusal to abide by policy is distracting me You've done great work for this project but if you believe that reverting while discussing is not edit warring then we'll have much more conversation in the near future.

Request for consensus on capitalization of "independent"

Hi, you may be able to provide insight on the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography/Politics and government#Stylistic question about capitalization of "independent" in an infobox. It's clear that "independent" should not be capitalized in a sentence (except if it's the first word), as is the usage in Independent politician, because it is a common noun and not a proper noun, like Republican. Should it be capitalized in an infobox or when it's abreviated in parentheses, i.e. Bernie Sanders (i) vs Bernie Sanders (I)? I look forward to your thoughts at the talk page, above.

Hello. I'm reaching out to clarify the supposed promotional content on the Wikipedia page. All content in the introduction is factual and derived from the actual article itself.

For starters: information must be relevant and backed up by independent, reliable sources. The school website is NOT an independent source. Beside that, the article must be neutral in style and tone.

Several years ago

The article Theories of humor is marked for expert attention, and I noticed that you tried to assist the article several years ago from vandalism. If this article is to be edited or re-written seriously then the general outline would look something like Theories or Humor from the three main general perspectives of the (i) the historical school study of the theory of humor, (ii) the literary school study of the theory of humor, and (iii) the psychological school study of the theory of humor. The current article is so far off the mark that it is little more than a unorganized random list of enumerated theories. The article could be deleted or at least re-titled perhaps as a preliminary form of a psychological school study of the theory of humor, and this is being generous. The current title for the article is mis-representative of the article's content, and I was wondering if you could offer a second opinion. Do you see the article in its current form as being a good and useful article? FutureForecasts (talk) 15:42, 6 June 2018 (UTC)

Irish Language Education navigation box.

I have just added a link to the navigation box you created on the pages of the Gaelscoileanna, both primary and secondary on it. I still don't understand how to edit the box itself again. Could you do me a favour and delete the link to Coláiste na Rinne under "Secondary schools" on it- because the link is to the Wikipedia page on Ring/An Rinn and not to the school? Darren J.

removed program without article, deemed not notable

I noticed that on the page Comparison of SSH servers you had removed a couple "programs" ("libraries" would probably be a better term) due to them lacking their own articles. If they had their own articles, would it be more acceptable if they were included on that page?

Alternatively, I noticed that some of the libraries listed on other technical articles comparing protocol implementations do not have their own articles but instead link back to the parent company's article. An example is the "Tectia" library, which has a link back to their company SSH Communications Security instead of a standalone article for the library. Would this be an acceptable way to add libraries to the Comparison of SSH servers page?

re: RFC religion in infoboxes

First of all, you do understand that the religion parameter no longer works in the 'INFOBOX PERSON' template. That information recorded using that parameter is NOT visible in the article and has not been visble for a year and a half. You understand that my edit did not remove it from the article and that an UNDO of the edit will not make it reappear in the article. You understand that when that parameter was made inoperable (a year and a half ago), that it creates an error in the system which can be viewed in the article by clicking on the edit tab and then the show preview button. Those errors ultimately make their way to this report: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Infobox_person_using_religion.

As far as 'Destroying' information is concerned, as an experienced editor i'm sure that you realize that every version of the life cycle of an article is retained. Including everyone of the 150,000+ edits that you have made.

Are you really fighting to retain information that generates an error, and has not been visible in the article for ( a year and a half)? Gene Wilson (talk) 15:51, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

You clearly do not understand the effect of your removals. You are coldly removing info (albeit not visible any more) without rescuing the info elsewhere in the article. What I want is that you do not axe it out, but move the info to the article body where necessary. The Banner talk 17:21, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

To the contrary, I make a great effort not to as you say 'Coldly Axe Out' this unviewable information. Let's restate that - unviewable part. Many of the listings of the persons religion use citations to verify their statements. That citation relates to that specific fact in the INFOBOX. In many other cases, a named citation <ref name="xxxxx"> is defined in the INFOBOX and called upon in other locations in the article using <rêf name="xxxxx"/>. I move these citations to the body of the article and make sure they are working properly before I delete the information from the infobox. Try as you may, I am confident that I am not demonstrating some kind of reckless disregard for these articles. Gene Wilson (talk) 20:03, 4 August 2018 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

WPCleaner 2.0

Installer for WPCleaner

Hello The Banner.

I would like to inform you that a new version of WPCleaner is available replacing the old version (v1.43) dating back to almost a year. Unfortunately, going from version 1.43 to 2.0 automatically isn't possible and will require a new installation. It's necessary to install version 2.0 to take advantage of updates and bug fixes. Version 1.43 will have to be uninstalled manually, as there are no more updates for it.

The installation procedure is described at Wikipedia:WPCleaner/Installation.

Note: for usage in Bot mode, I strongly advise to check the modifications to be sure that the tasks run correctly

  2. Write in a neutral style and tone. Not the hallelujah-chorus you have used before.

  4. This is an encyclopedia, not a human interest magazine. So keep it short and matter of fact.

The beginning of the war in Kosovo

Sorry. But I need to remember the pages to explain to all those controversial elements about the Kosovo war. Especially its beginning.

When did the war in Kosovo and Metohija begin? The first serious war conflict was an introduction to the village of Likosane, but it is questionable whether it was on February 27 or 28, 1998. Did the Drenica group of the KLA under the command of Adem Jashari start a partisan attack on the FRY Police on Friday evening before midnight on February 27th or the night between 27th and 28th of February or Saturday morning of February 28th, 1998? Albanians claim that the attack followed on February 28 in the early hours before dawn. Albanians celebrate February 28 as the day of the uprising against the "Serbian occupier". Serbs claim that on February 28, 1998, the Albanians launched the first synchronized "terrorist attack" against members of the security forces who launched the attack on Drenica on the same day, when on March 5 they liquidated Adem Jashari with 45 family members. The question remains whether the KLA members from Drenica attacked on February 27 evening or on the 28th of February in the morning. Everything related to this war is known. Nothing started spontaneously. Can you explain on Vikipedia more than three years the exact date of the beginning of the war conflict? Before Likosane, there was not a serious armed incident with a lot of dead policemen between Serbs and Albanians. In the period 1995, 1996 and 1997 there was sporadic shootings and criminal killings and occasional terrorist attacks on the police and Serb and Albanian civilians during human casualties, as well as an armed incident without casualties in the night between January 22nd and 23rd, 1998 Armed conflict in the chain began after the conflict in the village of Likosane and the whole political issue in Kosovo and Metohija was opened on the interstate scene. Each subsequent armed conflict took on warfare with substantially larger victims and displaced populations on both sides. It seems incredible that you do not know how to reconcile more than three years around the start of the war, and Serbs and Albanians can. Plus, you have all documents of all armed incidents. — Baba Mica (talk) 15:40, 20 October 2018 (UTC)

If you want to be taken seriously...

...don't put text like "it was feared that the ship would floundered" into articles. Jasidaoui (talk) 18:40, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

And read WP:NOTVAND. Are you being deliberately disruptive with that ridiculous report, or simply incompetent? Jasidaoui (talk) 18:43, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
I take you serious enough to have request a block for you due to vandalism, disruptive editing and "not having a clue". The Banner talk 18:45, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Have you read WP:NOTVAND, ever? Jasidaoui (talk) 18:47, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia is not a playground for kids who have no clue what they are doing.. The Banner talk 18:50, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Your AIV report

Hello, I saw your report on AIV about Jasidaoui. I don't see any edits from Jasidaoui that I would classify as vandalism. That said, I see that you too do seem to be having some sort of disagreement. Would you please elaborate on what this is about? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 18:50, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Editwarring to remove a valid red link to Burren National Park is in my opinion vandalism. At least, it shows that he is disruptive and does not have a clue. The Banner talk 18:56, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
There is a separate page to report edit warring. If anything, that is where you should report it. However, I would reccomend both of you try having a talk page discussion about the redlinks and bold text issues instead of reverting eachother back and forth. That's what the talk page is there for. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 19:01, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Clearly, User:The Banner has not ever read WP:NOTVAND. Edits you don't like or disagree with are not vandalism, unless they are a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of the encyclopaedia. I'd say that replacing "the ship would founder" with "the ship would floundered"[3] would certainly be vandalism if deliberate, but I think you did that just out of incompetence. Perhaps you could clarify? Jasidaoui (talk) 19:04, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
38 edits in 8 days and you are already waving massively with policies and guidelines. Are you serious? The Banner talk 19:27, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
And blanking your userpage from all warning is also not a good sign. The Banner talk 19:35, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
I see you've been blocked nine times in your ~10 years of editing, for edit warring, harassment, frivolous noticeboard threads and disruptive editing.[4] Interesting! Jasidaoui (talk) 19:48, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
For a new user you know your way around pretty well. I guess you are not so new as you pretend to be. The Banner talk 20:06, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
Instead of arguing about eachother and who did what bad behavior, why not try discussing content? ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 20:12, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Jasidaoui is  Confirmed to BKFIP and blocked. Happy New Year!
