== IP vandal with different IP's == | |||
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that there is a strange IP vandal (]) out there you blocked yesterday. It looks like that this IP vandal is using different IP's: | |||
*{{ipvandal|188.123.133.21}}, - IP from Georgia. | |||
*{{ipvandal|83.209.116.9}}, - IP from Sweden. | |||
*{{ipvandal|178.131.36.211}}. - IP from Iran. | |||
They are perhaps involved in a de-Turkification of wikipedia articles, at least they make the same edits deleting Turkic- or East-Asian-related passages, for example: | |||
* (deleted internal link to ]), | |||
* (deleted section: Sarmatians#Genetics), | |||
* (deleted section: Sarmatians#Genetics), | |||
* (suspicious false flag edit, ironically one day later). | |||
They are currently active at the page ] and are perhaps identical with following new IP addresses: | |||
*{{ipvandal|46.143.214.22}}, - IP from Iran. | |||
*{{ipvandal|114.160.71.150}}. - IP from Japan. | |||
They use the same offensive speech like ('''18:23, 3 May''' 2014) or ('''21:03, 3 May''' 2014). In the latter one the IP even suspected me that I would be a sock puppet master of various central Asian-related users. | |||
Additionally, the IP's are possibly related to following cases: | |||
*], | |||
*]. | |||
Presumably this a conflict of interest. ] ] 10:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC) |

Please leave your message at the bottom of this page, for example, by clicking "new section" at the top. I shall reply wherever you prefer (my usual habit is to reply here if the answer is short). If I replied on your talk page, it means I am watching it, and there is no need to add the{{talkback}}
template or quote the previous message.you recently changed an edit I made concerning a James Scott richardson born September 16 1980 the edit I made was the correct information concerning this man check the birth date before you edit facts about the wrong man
you could be helpful
You could be helpful if when you change peoples edits if you refer back to what changes you make. It appears to be a common thread that you undo without helping people find the originals. This simply discourages people from working on wikipedia. Thanks you. I have pointed out grave errors because those facts are included in the Misplaced Pages without literary or inscriptional evidences.How can we accept the statement that St. Thomas converted Jews? How can Misplaced Pages include the statement that the converted Jews became a part of local Nasrani Christians? What is the evidence? It is only a false claim by local Christians. Wilkipedia should not become a forum for such false claims. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajanranjan (talk • contribs) 20:30, 3 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey Materialscientist. I am just writing in reference to the addition to the Guardian Angels page that was deleted for insufficient referencing, and I was hoping to get your advice.

Free energy car article
This article: Magnetic air car, describes a 'free energy' vehicle (ignoring the absurd air system) powered by a 'magnetic motor' (an electric motor that with no input power generates output power). It describes the vehicle pretty much as though it exists without allusion to its pseudoscience origins. I've done a bit of googling and haven't found any RS that calls it "bunk". Any suggestions?
Another article motor was changed to a redirect to induction motor. I kind of think it should be left as an article with it clearly marked as hogwash. Opinions? Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 04:03, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
- I've redirected magnetic air car and weakly support keeping redirect on magnetic motor. Yes, pseudoscience and proposed devices may have wikiarticles, but it is very difficult to keep them encyclopedic, referenced to reliable sources, and devoid of original research.

I consider myself the subject of harassment by another user and have made a complaint here on the Administrators' noticeboard. AfadsBad has called into question my competency as a creator of articles and asserts that "Every article of hers has made up information, inaccurate information, random pieces of information that give undue weight to what she has added, ..." etc. I wondered if you would have time to look at one or two of my articles (they're all listed on my user page) because I feel that AfadsBads criticisms are unjustified.

On the paragraph "Gana, Mustapha Behind Attack On Kure, Niger Government Insists" http://allafrica.com/stories/200206250188.html. This is an unsubstantial claim and mere accusation by an individual and should not be tolerated by Misplaced Pages because it has not be substantiated by a Court of Law in Nigeria.

Re: April 2014 - Paris climate box edit
Hi Materialscientist,
I've edited the climate box as one of the numbers (the May average high) was incorrect. No big deal compared to the edits you've just did (including the new mayor!), but I think such a high-profile article should also have exact weather stats. I'm a newbie, but I'd like to edit it back.

Hello
Since you're a Materialscientist, do you think things are really made of strings, or that it's just a model, or that it doesn't matter either way? Also, do you reckon it's possible for a place to be somewhere far away where entropy goes in reverse, or even a place where entropy itself is evenly distributed relative to time (things can be un-born, un-evolve)? THNX!!!!! Also, you really seem to enjoy issuing schoolblocks, could there be a possible personal grudge behind it, e.g. do/did you hate kids who are loud in class? Or do you just like to block them because they're easy to identify and block? 183.207.224.22 (talk) 04:39, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

Reverse osmosis link
OK, I looked harder for online references that mention that polyimide is most common polymer film used in reverse osmosis.

hi there, i am the manager of this artist. i have written the following paragraph and would like to enquire as to why it has been taken down;
"Born in Manchester and raised in Handsworth, Birmingham. Call Me Unique AKA (Callmeunique) has sung from a very young age but picked up the guitar at 16 years old and ever since has been travelling around the Europe, often solo but occasionally backed by Birmingham based band; Elements Of Sound.
Renowned for her love of scatting and impromptu performances, whether it be a bus shelter or a stadium of 1000's, she has always aimed to portray an honest and heartfelt performance to any willing crowd. "Call Me Unique" has had the opportunity to play at such well known UK festivals as Glastonbury 2013 and even European Festival's such as Music Camp 2013, supporting Polish superstar Bednarek.
The LG Forum at the LG have had Call Me Unique as one of their regular's, opening the LG Arena Forum's for international artists such as Rihanna, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Jessie J and many more! Along side being heavily backed by the support of BBC 1XTRA's DJ Target and the 1xtra team as "1 to Watch" and has been playlisted as TRACK OF THE WEEK with her signature single; The Wife by BBC INTRODUCING.

I shouldn't need to re-type out the entire article. It is up to you to read it for yourself. I have posted a second link.

Analgesia versus Anesthesia
I recently made a change to a page where the term Analgesia was described as the elimination of sensation by a drug, but Analgesia is not the correct term for the elimination of sensation. Analgesia is the term used to describe a reduction in pain without numbness or elimination of sensation (usually by reducing the emotional component of pain). Anesthesia is the correct term for the elimination of sensation and creation of numbness by a drug. The two are very similar as Analgesia usually accompanies Anesthesia.

You don't speak Russian, do you.
The changes I made to Russian jokes were perfectly constructive. Are you just going around reverting whatever you don't understand? Because I do speak the language.
"Dusha moya" (душа моя) is the phrase alluded to in the text, but not supplied, that literally means "my soul" and that is a term of endearment as well.
"Хуй" (penis) is not transliterated by "huey". The X is voiced, like the ch in Scots "loch" or German "ich", and for which the best standard transliteration is kh. My minimalist change improved the translit, but I should have taken out the e as well since there's no e in the original and "khuy" would have preserved pronunciation just as well.

You sent me an E-mail/message today, stating that I have violated Misplaced Pages's Terms of Use upon me editing Mr. Ryan Benesch's page. You also stated that
Misplaced Pages has a very strict policy on editing pages concerning living/deceased
people, and I am okay with that. As a result, I wanted to tell you that
although I have not stated my source on this info I have put into the page, I know (no offence whatsoever, merely stating a fact) more about Benesch than most
people who think they do, or do not.
1.) He has played almost his entire NLL (National League Lacrosse) career
with the Minnesota Swarm. He has become an easy fan favorite.
2.) I am an indoor lacrosse player as well. I also play in Minnesota, as Benesch used to (until he got unfortunately traded to the Buffalo Bandits of the National Lacrosse League in the summer of last year [the 2013 NLL league draft]). I am a goalie playing in the Elite U15 league in the metro MN area, a team called the "Junior Swarm. We travel around Canada and the US. Mr. Benesch was the coach. 3.) I am good friends with Mr. Benesch, as he holds many camps during the
lacrosse season in MN as well, and I have gotten to know him quite well; we are
great friends. Whenever he scores a goal, the stadium (Xcel Energy Center, St. Paul, MN) plays Elton John's "Benny in the Jets" song. Even the Toyota
Professor, the man (I know him quite well also; he who explains official/referee
calls, rules, goals and other miscellaneous material to the fans), sings along merrily, while the fans (along with the boisterous announcer, laugh and join in.
4.) I know the entire Swarm team up and down, and Mr. Benesch's teammates all call him "Benny", the assistant coach, the Toyota Professor, and the announcer who calls him "Ryan Benny Benesch!!" when he steps onto the field.
As you can see, I would probably get an "A" on my history paper, but, alas, I am
writing to you, Mr. M. Scientist. Say what you think of my statement, however I do not care, as the fans of the Swarm all know Mr. Benesch's nicknames. Also, I have no clue as to where the nickname "The Bullet" comes from, as I have never heard anybody use it before. My points stands, and I strongly appreciate it if you would be so kind as to put my edit back where it belongs, on Mr. Benesch's page. He would enjoy that, too. Thank you. :)

Hello. 69.159.39.121 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), who you blocked for repeated vandalism the other day, is behaving in a disruptive way on his/her talkpage (repeatedly engaging in what borders on personal attacks, removing block notices etc and refactoring text in warning messages), so a removal of editing rights on the talk page and/or a longer block than the current 72h might perhaps be in order.

Just to let you know who you're dealing with
Just to let you know, User:TheEdnaPhDDoc is the latest sockpuppet of User:DrEdna, who was blocked for edit warring at Goblin shark and for harassing and attacking other editors who either undid her vandalisms or blocked her, and or her sockpuppets. Now that Goblin shark has been page-protected from her sockpuppets, she's moved onto other targets to vandalize, i.e., Tiger shark.--Mr Fink (talk) 03:55, 10 April 2014 (UTC)
- Also, almost all of DrEdna's sockpuppets usually have "Edna" in the username, or mention "Dr Edna" in her harassment of other users, in addition to pretending to be an insufferably pompous "expert"--Mr Fink (talk) 03:57, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

IP vandal back with slightly new IP
Hi, I just wanted to let you know that the IP vandal you blocked last night, 113.193.150.84 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), has now resumed on a new IP adress , 113.193.147.5 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). I believe they are the same because they make the same edit adding the name "Vipelo Swu" to different articles for example (Champions League), (I-league) and (Premier League) for blocked IP and (Champions League) for this new IP. Both have also edited articles like Brindavan College of Engineering. QED237 (talk) 11:55, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

In ref to changes to The Bahamas - I would like to recommend changing the word "Black" to African as "Black" does to provide the valuable information needed to verify where most Bahamians originate...there are references to Asians from asia, why are the Africans not listed? In addition, why is it so important to make sure we know what color people are rather then their origins/ race...there is no country, continent or region called black (eg. Asian - from Asia or Chinese from China or indian from india)and this tells nothing of their heritage/ race/ origins as the color black is not a HERITAGE/ origin or race. It would make more sense and would be fairer to use all colors if this is the case eg.yellow for chinese, white for European, red for Indian, black for African. From my research, most if not all races with dark skin originate from Africa..and so lets call a spade a spade — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.144.157.170 (talk) 10:42, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
- See WP:NOR. All those names are arguable and thus we go by reliable sources. Further, if the article is titled Black Seminoles, one should not try to change this inside the article (this will be automatically reverted), but instead argue on the talk page why the article title should be changed.

Room temperature superconductors edit deletion
Re. Room temperature superconductors, the hypothesis I posted has been discussed with two researchers in the field and both agree it is worth further study as such a mechanism could also explain other observed anomalous half lives in other lighter isotopes. Also possible relevance to small variations in half life of isotopes linked to solar neutrino flux but more plausibly explained by temperature fluctuations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.81.133.23 (talk) 13:55, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

Bigfoot, Scott Nelson
Hello, Hope I'm contacting you in the best manner. I'm contacting you due to your removal of a small contribution I made to the Bigfoot page regarding Scott Nelson. I have been watching/researching Scott Nelson for some time and think it appropriate that he be mentioned on the Bigfoot page. I realize the Bigfoot topic is contentious, and I'm not saying I believe Nelson's work one way or another. Nevertheless, he is an active Bigfoot researcher and this can be substantiated by perusing the internet, late night radio, and YouTube. Please reconsider your decision to remove my submission, or, at least, advise on how to improve my submission in order to meet the standard. P.S. I'm not Scott Nelson, nor am I trying to self-promote a personal website. I have no connection to either Scott Nelson nor the website I submitted. Please see my Sandbox to assess the extent of research that I'm preparing on this topic. Thank you!

Squashing vandalism from my IP Block
Good day!
I am an administrator in the 131.137.* block, and I am interested in squashing any disruptive edits to this site that may reflect poorly on our department. I see you've blocked some addresses in our blk (which I certainly don't have a problem with) but this is a bandaid solution that doesn't do much to hold the individuals responsible for their vandalism to account. I'd like to know more about how to mount a more immediate reaction to violations originating from our group instead of subscribing to a few thousand RSSes for each individual IP. I can be reached at ncrinfosecur-securinforcn@forces.gc.ca for a more formal and private discussion.

Thank you for reviewing my article.

Open proxies
Hi, Materialscientist. How can you tell that 223.99.253.66 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) is an open proxy? Is it because of the "Recently reported forum spam source" comment here? (I don't think that was there when I blocked them for a couple of days — I only saw the "Network sharing device or proxy server" link.) I did suspect it was an open proxy, but when I've tried to indef IPs before, on the strength of being a "proxy server", I've gotten blowback because there are legitimate proxy servers. I wish I could identify open proxies so I could block them more efficiently. Have you got any tips for me? Bishonen | talk 12:53, 20 April 2014 (UTC).
- In short, Google "proxy 223.99.253.66", this will give a hint whether this was/is an open proxy, and if it was/is, what was/is the proxy mechanism. In this case, Google will hint 223.99.253.66:81, meaning the proxy used port 81 for connection. Reconfigure network connection in your browser to connect via proxy 223.99.253.66 through port 81 ("Tools", "Options", "Netwokrk", "Setting" in Firefox), then access some IP locator like http://www.whatismyip.com/ and it will tell your current IP, in this case 223.99.253.66 (could be something else for "tunnel proxies"). We can't suspect and check all IPs for open proxies, but this editor gave up an easy hint by obvious socking from a Chinese IP (and then kept changing proxies). Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 13:04, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thank you. I failed miserably at configuring my connection via that proxy (I would make a really incompetent vandal) — maybe it's not exactly the same path on a Mac — but I do more or less understand, and I'll get a family member to re-route me to it in a few days. Just to make sure I've got it: if I succeed in connecting through 223.99.253.66 by port 80, that'll prove it's an open proxy? Right? (And then I can vandalise Misplaced Pages? Ha! Or I could if you hadn't blocked it, of course.) Bishonen | talk 13:52, 20 April 2014 (UTC).
- (talk page stalker) @Bishonen: If you want to go proxy-hunting you can check some of the proxy lists on the 'Net (such as this and/or this), to see if the IPs listed there have made unconstructive edits on WP. Or check if problematic IPs you encounter are listed there... Thomas.W 13:46, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
- Have you had any luck with those lists, Thomas? And do problematic IP edits really prove an IP is an open proxy..? Bishonen | talk 13:52, 20 April 2014 (UTC).
- @Bishonen: I haven't spent time with those lists since I wouldn't be able to do anything about it, if I found a proxy with problematic edits on WP. And problematic edits don't prove that an IP is a proxy, which isn't what I meant either, what I meant was that you, if you encounter a problematic IP, could check if it is listed as a proxy, and can be given a longer block than it would otherwise get.

external links removed
You recently messaged me that you removed one or more external links that I had added. After rereading the guide-lines on external links I think I see where I offended. I have added a link to search results from a vertical search engine that focuses on MSDSs. I see that's in the "Avoid" section of the guidelines and wont be doing that again. I wanted to touch bases with you and make sure that is the offense that you noted as well.
I am rather passionate about MSDS availability and I get very frustrated by broken links to MSDS. In particular, SIRI (siri.org) has hundreds of dead links on wikipedia and even more frustrating is that they have hundreds of thousands of dead links in their search results. They are by far the recognized leader in free access to MSDS but the site seems to be on cruise control and the driver has abandoned the vehicle.

Aardwolf
I am not sure what part of the harv template is bulky or forces the reader to click multiple times. I'm sorry, let me start that again. I am in the process of increasing the article Aardwolf and in doing so, the older style of referencing ie without the harv templates seemed to me to be less useful. I have had many conversations with proponents of both sides and have landed on the side of the harv template, after originally being against them. There are many reasons that this template style is better IMO, first and foremost, it "allows" not forces the user to click it and scroll down to the hi-lited information. Having all the information inline tends to be bulky and awkward looking when one edits. Also, and I know that this in and of itself is not a reason to switch over, as I so succinctly told someone who used this argument on me, but more and more of the FA's and GA's are using this style. You may say that this article is not anywhere near that yet but to that I would say why wait. Anyway, I am not trying to be argumentative, just improve the wiki and over my time here, I have done a lot of editing, random and planned, and everytime I get comfortable with one style someone brings out a new style or way of doing things. I did not use the harv templates until just recently when I realized that they do make things a lot easier for the reader and after all isn't that the final desired outcome. I am not sure why you think they are bulky and such; however I do ask that you work with me on this article (and any others we bump into each other on). For now I will hold of revert-ing and eagerly await your reply. I will bring my books home and do my changes later on. My wife wants me home anyway. On a final note, I hope I didn't come off the wrong way as I sincerely do not mean to offend, some times I get offended and am incredulous at things and may react instead of thinking things through, but I try to be a peacemaker and problem solver rather than the opposite; however I do have strong opinions and tend to get annoyed at the ever-changing "way of doing things" or the fact that no matter which way you decide to do something, you always end up bumping heads with someone who disagrees. Let me know what you think. speednat (talk) 00:09, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
- Please go on and expand the article, reverting my changes if you wish - they aim to help you and reader. Sorry for missing your past discussion on harv templates and possibly repeating some arguments. My philosophy is this:
- Use "notes" (I mean "Smith (1986) p. 123", not comment notes) if the same source is reused with different page (chapter, plate, etc.) numbers. Otherwise use full reference. Pros: "notes" simplify coding, and the article becomes lighter and loads faster for the reader. Cons: it becomes more difficult to locate the actual source, but we help that by setting a "click twice" links to source (one click from text to note, second from note to actual ref).
- There are many ways to code "notes" and all are fine on this wiki (GA/FA arguments don't matter, they are mostly personal preference, WP policies are above them). I personally prefer using |ref=Smith in Bibliography and then <ref>], p. 123</ref> in the text, because it is simple and consumes no templates from the template parsing limit (max. number of templates on page). I embrace harv but don't use it myself.
- There are many ways to code full references. I aim to move them from text to reflist to assist text editing as follows: <ref name=Smith/> in text, {{reflist|refs= <ref name=Smith>Smith ...</ref> in reflist. Materialscientist (talk) 00:50, 24 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for your understanding. Concerning the final point you made, can you expand on that? I don't yet use the practice of defining the ref in the reference section, obviously as you saw, and am theoretically not opposed to it, but probably am looking for arguments that would sway me. Convince me :)speednat (talk) 18:47, 24 April 2014 (UTC)

Edit Removed
HI Material Scientist, I received a message from you saying my edit on the Lockers page has been removed. I would like to know what I have done wrong so I can correct it. Are we allowed to edit at all? It wasn't a test. But I was having a problem with adding the code from Misplaced Pages. Please let me know if there is anything to change this. I would like to know too what I have to do in-order to avoid this happening next time.
HI Material Scientist. I am still waiting for your response and a way to edit articles in the desired way to avoid them being removed again. Please assist. Looking forward to hearing from you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gynalissie Tigere (talk • contribs) 15:02, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

My dear Mr. M, I need your help
Bonjour,
I just wrote an article on Misoon Ghim www.misoonghim.com and would like your help on reviewing it please. In the past, you have been very generous (re: David Pomeroy) and I would like to use your magic again. As a Certified Public Accountant CPA, my specialization lays in Tax Law, Accounting and Auditing, I also speak and write fluently six languages, maybe I can help you on those specific disciplines pro bono.
As a single dad of a 16 year old, my daughter Adréa is an opera singer, she is heading to Juilliard this summer for training, thus my interest in opera, I wrote about David Pomeroy, now, I am writing about Misoon Ghim who is an outstanding Opera Singer.
Please help me and I will show you Gratitude is the Memory of the heart.
Thanks in advance

Massrollback
Hello, Materialscientist. I would like to request a massrollback of the edits by IP Special:contributions/94.189.184.169. All but about 5% of this IP's edits have been detrimental to the Misplaced Pages. Most of the edits consist of falsely changing the "years active" notes of musical artists.

- NP, Wasn't really asking about them directly, and had started looking before you blocked 888, was looking mostly to see if I could figure the right way to report, AVI for example requires a certain level of warning. SPI requires idea on at least two of the socks involve ( hence why I was searching ). Was more wondering about if I find stuff in the future. Last time I saw something like that ( see my talk page ) I kept most of my suspicions to my self as I didn't want to not AGF, and instead just focused on the visible disruption. Thanks again.

Thank you for protecting the Black mamba article, I really do appreciate it. This IP editor has been a headache for quite sometime now. I have ALL the LD50 values listed in the article for the black mamba, but he wants to take them all out and add just the ones HE thinks are right. Violation of WP:NPOV, plus he's already violated the 3RR rule. I mean what is going to be done about such a disruptive IP editor who has absolutely no regard for Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines? --Dendro†Naja 05:24, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
Snake articles vandalism
Hi. You have just locked venomous snake and black mamba articles. I have reverted these articles not because of dispute. the other editor is vandalizing those articles and snakebite article as well. he edited a lot of the black mamba article, probably his favorite snake, and he shamelessly deleted scientific consensus data fro multiple WP:RS sources o 3 different articles, just so he could write "may snake is so venomous. He knows he is lying. i have written a detailed and easy to understand explanation with many citations on the talk page of those articles, He is basing his data on one book that an expert has mentioned why it is wrong, and all other sources including peer reviewed ones all give the same data/numbers i have added to the article. I am quite at a loss here. The editor feels he owns those wikipedia articles.79.176.152.55 (talk) 05:34, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- I usually have an opinion, but in this case I don't, and act as a "true administrator". Edit warring must stop no matter who is "right". Please try other
dispute resolution routes. Materialscientist (talk) 05:44, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- The problem is, the Black mamba article lists all the LD50 values:
- "Ernst and Zug et al. 1996 listed a value of 0.05 mg/kg for subcutaneous injection (diluent used was 0.1% bovine albumin serum). One study showed the intraperitoneal injection LD50 in mice was very toxic: 0.01 mg/kg (0.1 bovine albumin serum). In the study, seizure threshold was significantly lowered and the mice went through convulsions. Significant changes in motor activity were observed and there were changes in structure or function of salivary glands. Using 0.1 saline as a diluent, the Australian Venom and Toxin database listed a value of 0.32 mg/kg SC, while Spawls & Branch and Minton & Minton both listed the SC LD50 at 0.28 mg/kg (saline) and Brown lists a murine value of 0.12 mg/kg (saline) SC."
- That's directly from the article, so I do not understand his dispute. He is being a troll. Other admins have attempted to block him in the past. He's a vandal and a troll, not to mention a plagiarist. Just ask admin Diannaa. Not to sound haughty or arrogant, but he seems to be a total amateur. I actually have university level education in herpetology, with a focus on ophiology. He continues to insist that we put up a "list of top 10 venomous snakes", which is totally unencyclopedic. That kind of stuff belongs in a childrens book, not on Misplaced Pages. Venom toxicity/lethality varies tremendously among single species based on all sorts of factors - diet, geographical location, age-dependent, gender-dependent, and the list can go on and on. I am tired of having to deal with someone who clearly has no respect or regard for any of Misplaced Pages policies or guidelines. He's a troll, a vandal and an obsessed amateur snake expert wannabe. --Dendro†Naja 05:59, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
Now he's vandalising my userpage with a different IP look at this diff. This is why admin Diannaa had trouble blocking him. He switches IP's. --Dendro†Naja 06:04, 27 April 2014 (UTC)
- Dendro†Naja has been directly caught fabricating scientific data. He made up this attribute to this number "Ernst and Zug et al. 1996 listed a value of 0.05 mg/kg for subcutaneous injection (diluent used was 0.1% bovine albumin serum)." i have found the quote directly from the book in which they specifically contradict that assertion regarding their data. I have presented 5 WP:RS that specifically quote Subcutaneous injection. In herpetology comparing of snake venom strength is done comparing Subcutaneous bite (most applicable to real bite). The editor has fraudulently attributed 0.05mg/kg in order to make his favorite snake seem more venomous by a huge magnitude. He knows most editors will have difficulty confirming his data, since he cites books, and thus he is gaming the system to get the article locked etc. even his quoted paragraph here is not the one in the article see what he wrote in the second paragraph of Black_mamba#Venom.2C_envenomation_and_antivenom (same ip editor)79.178.6.4 (talk) 15:14, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Invitation join the new Physiology Wikiproject!
Based on the long felt gap for categorization and improvization of WP:MED articles relating to the field of physiology, the new WikiProject Physiology has been created. WikiProject Physiology is still in its infancy and needs your help. On behalf of a group of editors striving to improve the quality of physiology articles here on Misplaced Pages, I would like to invite you to come on board and participate in the betterment of physiology related articles. Help us to jumpstart this WikiProject.
- Feel free to leave us a message at any time on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page. If you are interested in joining the project yourself, there is a participant list where you can sign up. Please leave a message on the talk page if you have any problems, suggestions, would like review of an article, need suggestions for articles to edit, or would like some collaboration when editing!
- You can tag the talk pages of relevant articles with {{WikiProject Physiology|class=|importance=}} with your assessment of the article class and importance alongwith. Please note that WP:Physiology, WP:Physio, WP:Phy can be used interchangeably.
- You will make a big difference to the quality of information by adding reliable sources. Sourcing physiology articles is essential and makes a big difference to the quality of articles. And, while you're at it, why not use a book to source information, which can source multiple articles at once!
- We try and use a standard way of arranging the content in each article. That layout is here. These headings let us have a standard way of presenting the information in anatomical articles, indicate what information may have been forgotten, and save angst when trying to decide how to organise an article. That said, this might not suit every article. If in doubt, be bold!
- Why not try and strive to create a good article! Physiology related articles are often small in scope, have available sources, and only a limited amount of research available that is readily presentable!
- Your contributions to the WikiProject page, related categories and templates is also welcome.
- To invite other editors to this WikiProject, copy and past this template (with the signature):
{{subst:WP Physiology–invite}}
~~~~
- To welcome editors of physiology articles, copy and past this template (with the signature):
{{subst:WP Physiology–welcome}}
~~~~
- You can feel free to contact us on the WikiProkect Physiology talk page if you have any problems, or wish to join us. You can also put your suggestions there and discuss the scope of participation.
Hoping for your cooperation! Diptanshu 12:18, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi there,
I had noticed that you recently undid an addition to the article Doon Express. I do not entirely agree with your action as the train has actually derailed & several newspaper reports exist to verify it but do recognize that the addition should have been made under the accidents heading section. Can i undo your edit??

Obese Records
Hi there! I just noticed your reversion with the following reason in the edit summary: "identified as test/vandalism using STiki". The reverted edit by Thewaspwoman merely added "Ryan Fluent Form Stewart aka Flu" to the list of staff. Unsourced as the addition is, it might have been tagged as needing a citation or perhaps summarily removed under the Biographies of living persons policy, but to mark it as "vandalism" (rather than a "good-faith revert") and saying "it did not appear constructive" seems harsh. Could you perhaps reconsider this? —sroc 💬 11:54, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Unblock on hold
Hello, Materialscientist. I have placed an unblock request on hold for a block you made. (See User talk:66.249.85.33.) In addition to the concerns raised by an IP editor on that page, I have looked at every edit from that IP address since March 20, and a sample of edits spread over the period from the beginning of this year until then, and I found that the substantial majority of edits were constructive, with only a fairly small minority of edits that were vandalism or in other ways unhelpful. What do you think about the suggestion of an unblock? The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:31, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Please see Ed's comment on their talk and decide for yourself - this issue is more of a tolerable vandalism threshold than of an open proxy, and in this particular case registering an account for affected users is very much easier than for a regular static anonblocked IP. Materialscientist (talk) 21:43, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks. I've declined the unblock request, and replaced the block log reason with {{blocked proxy}}: Google caching proxy. Perhaps not perfect, but maybe a bit better. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 06:26, 30 April 2014 (UTC)
Say what??
Hi Materialscientist. I just received a notice from you that you undid an edit I had made to the "List of generic and genericized trademarks" because "it did not appear constructive". You then suggested that I "experiment" in the "sand box".
My edit consisted of adding "Crazy Glue" to the list of genericized trademarks. "Crazy Glue" is a very commonly used term in the United States for ethyl cyanoacrylate adhesives. "Krazy Glue," is a trademark of "Krazy Glue, Inc.", registered in 1973:
http://tmsearch.uspto.gov/bin/showfield?f=doc&state=4806:90nhor.2.7
It has, however, been used as a common generic for these adhesives for at least 20 years.
This was not an "experiment"; I added the entry to the chart because it was appropriate for the subject, and currently missing from the chart. I fail to see how this was "not constructive".
If you didn't like something about my addition you are more than welcome to fix it, but to simply delete it seems, to me, "not constructive". Please put it back. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 20:05, 29 April 2014 (UTC)

Hell in a Bucket (talk) 13:21, 1 May 2014 (UTC) Are we looking at the right IP? 117.217.235.227 Hell in a Bucket (talk) 13:23, 1 May 2014 (UTC)
- 1. You reported 117.196.164.144, not 117.217.235.227.
- 2. Note that both edited for a few minutes, hours ago, i.e. have no past history. Such IPs are called stale in the admins jargon.
- 3. Note how widely did this editor hop. This is a feature of some internet providers, like 117.x (where x is late 100s or early 200s). We can't rangeblock such huge ranges. I know that this 117.x range is problematic (due to incompetence mostly, your vandal is a drop in the ocean), and rangeblock what I can, but the collateral damage is always a factor there.

- Ok, I've at least requested protection for the article and talkpage. It is probably the beast way to keep the banned user away. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 13:40, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi Neeru Bajwa has never been known as Neerujit Kaur Bajwa. Prior to adopting the screen name Neeru which is actually her nickname she was Arshhvir Bajwa. If you check her debut movie Jee Ayan Nu,the credits would show her as Arshvir Bajwa. Thnx

Ramil Rodriguez
Greetings.. I recently edited some information about my brotherinlaw Ramil Rodriguez because the information in Misplaced Pages about him is wrong, however, you had removed the information.
His real name is Rene Emilio Rodriguez y Moreno, he is the oldest of 6 children, older brother of Pepito Rodriguez, also an actor. His parents are Rene Rodriguez y Singyan of San Fernando, Pampanga and Ma. Rosa Moreno y Puig of Baguio City. His Date of his death is April 29 not Apr 30. He is not married to Celia Rodriguez nor does he have a child name Miguel Rodriguez. He was never been married but has a life partner name Leticia Ligon, no children.
I could not cite a link for reference as this is personal knowledge I being the wife of his youngest brother, Antonio M Rodriguez — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.205.147.34 (talk) 00:15, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Warning an unresponsive editor
How long should I continue to warn an editor who doesn't seem to read his talk page? I began warning 74.60.187.122 on April 3 regarding copy-pasting text directly from other websites. However, there's no sign that he's aware of any of the eleven warnings I've placed on his page (or if he is, he doesn't care).
His entire editing history is littered with copyright violations (I've not gone back and reverted all of them because that task is time-consuming). The few edits where he attempted to actually type up his own words resulted in poorly-written sentences with grammar, spelling, and syntax problems . Most of my warnings to him provide links to both his edit and the source from which he copy-pasted entire paragraphs of text.

Dispute regarding Al Mayassa Al Thani
Hi, I hold the copyright for one of the images on this page. The other two are used with permission from the NY Times. I do not understand why the images continuously are reverted by katieh5584. She is vandalizing my work. Thank you. AmmarAbdRabbo (talk) 23:21, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- Great, but unfortunately I have already deleted them due to lack of copyright permission. Please consult this page before re-uploading . Materialscientist (talk) 23:25, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- Yes the article is Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al-Thani. Well you locked the page, so how am I supposed to reupload the pictures? And how is there a lack of copyright.. I own the copyright. AmmarAbdRabbo (talk) 23:29, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- That's fine and Welcome to Misplaced Pages, if you own the copyright to the image, then the way you can get the image back up faster is by sending in a ticket to the OTRS team, that way we can verify that you are the copyright holder of the images. For the ones that have been used with the New York Times Permission you would need to have them either send in a ticket, to us as well verifying that they gave you permission or that they have released them under a license compatible with Misplaced Pages. If you have further questions or need help understanding please let us know and we would be happy to help you. By the way once the OTRS Team has verfied that you do own the copyright the images will be restored. And the files page will updated to show that it has been verified that you have released it under a compatible license. And they will added to the page, in their respective places. --Clarkcj12 (talk) 23:34, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
- (EC, thanks to Clarkcj12, sorry for repeating some of his explanations) I've "locked" the page and deleted the images, but you can read these pages , send an email confirming that you are the copyright owner or/and have valid permissions, and reupload the images on commons.wikimedia.org. Once the copyright status is cleared, I would be glad to unlock the page so that you could re-add the images. Please carefully follow the permission steps outlined in the above-linked pages - those images are copyrighted elsewhere, and their repeated upload without a valid clarification may result in further unnecessary "locks".

- All I know about this comes from personal experience. I would add that servers maintenance is often done during the weekends, which often breaks or slows down some processes. All that said, you'd better ask a specialist if you want to know how all this works. Materialscientist (talk) 01:12, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- When you make the edit to the template, it invalidates the cache of all the pages that transclude it (you can see the list using "what links here"). The transcluding pages are not all updated immediately, but are re-rendered by the job queue which can take some time. Some changes will be made immediately, and changes will be visible whenever someone edits a page or does a purge, but it may be days or even weeks until all pages are updated. Thankfully, the job queue execution stops when you edit the template again, and again invalidate the cache of all the transcluding pages. — Mr. Stradivarius 04:08, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of China Basin Landing
It was apparent that China Basin Landing is a promotional article. I will fight I can get it deleted. Your option is to write something valid. Otherwise restoring it is the path to deletion. meatclerk (talk) 09:33, 4 May 2014 (UTC)
- You're removing 15k of sourced information because you think it is overly promotional. I think much of that info is bare facts, and that your removals are not the right way to improve that article. You've got to build consensus via AFD or article talk, but you can't edit-war on that. Materialscientist (talk) 09:54, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

Propagation and the Histories of Political Military Personnel
May 4 2014 I guess being a porr writer for twenty years and studious child whom valued truth and watched prugings of history before my eyes occur under hands of commissioned decommissioned military personnel might explain my lack of referenceing or even the need., because more so today it is virtually impossible to retain hard copy, with mergings of newpapers and internet proliferations rewrtings of these embarrassing ephochs if not crimianlly responsible ones where obstuctionism in UN courts searches for witnessing to events concerning torture involving the apathy of military personnel of Canadains impossible to validate much, though I can say more than likekly the news comes along first informing, then the barage of denieals ans disinformations Times Colonist vicgtoria Times and Cehck TV and CBC early 1970s the ephoch of vast changes ans silencing of those whom may have any informations towards british Military whom may haver had involement in the poisoning of nations and Canadaians accepting the orders to shut up or be charged with treason did so, much of the reason the dance of the senate, I surmise retrospectely so, and then witnessed the trasnsformations of TV and purging of journals whom protested under the helm of Mr. Mike Duffy a selcetion carefully for his compliance with the majesties service under which it was believed Candains operated under order to the assent of the roay Majesty aLOrds counsel Chambers in the 1970s...fact not fiction and the confluence is todays, mired gamesmanship of are we evoloving senates or not rears up in usage because of those protocols and placements carefully administered by commanders in cheifs ans selections compliant with the old order, my assertion alone, not at all, I relied upon the Globe and Mail and Times colonist and the news daily for the truth of these things, nothing at hand just the honest ddemocratic rightfulness of a few whom had the evidences and witnessed as profressional journals then and many whom lost their jobs because of their integrity to bullying firings of the Likes of Mike Duffy, and obsgtructionism was alleged of him then, and neither committed to action because of military presence and order of conceviencing them with a different justice, changing his name, then it was said to protect his family, no one believed that, evasion was ever the reason on the minds of most whom cared. the senate was made an obsstacle bercause royal assent for the laws were attempted to be mainiened which meant a certified order of Canada redorering witnessing would oblige the UN with its determined to seek justice in genocide against the British military, placeing thoses whom obstructed wilfully unlawfully culpibable the content. And the reason I am writing today, is the anachronisms of decades of pale and time regarding what preciptated the Falklands war was that invasion first of it then the Iraq wsr as a motivator for Saddan Hussien, because it was convenient to do so a double indeminity plurality that pointed the finger at a vilain od democracy and simulatneously vitrotiously maintianing south atalantic control as the british desired and further entrenching USA in aarabic affairs that the british started in the first place. the history you have on both wars is grossly inaccurate and serves the twisted perceptions propagated in all forms, during that time that America was to blame, the UN figured it out long before and was exercising court processes that it was not America in fact had to be British because they blamed everybody else eventually and it was was apparent. typically, interests that side with alignments behavior in conspiratorial ways and those that act as they are indempendaent do not, Canada is independent and should acted that way dince 1943UN agreement signed sealed and delivered. I suggest you check your sources with earlier disemplyed fjurnalist of the late 1960s and eaerly 1970s whom had the truth then and now....if their heads are not mucked up by british pharmachemicals empire, intruding upon their person like they did to one veteran of journalism of the Globe and Mail, for thirty years he was a journalist...it was sad to see such prciesion destroyed to a mindless chattering open book of memmory damages done as intended with the therapy he was cornered to consume forcibly, this after some interesting take overs of the media. ONe can only surmise that the initial integers are informations suppressors at large that did this to him, I myself met him only a few times, new of him, and that is the factual spectre of the truth in Canada. Therefore, when the right name of Mr.Mike Duffy and alll his selected other friends of disinformation are purged it may be safe to speak again and the protocols of britain removed from the goverment elecronic data processing realms maybe then the truth will arise from the paltry sham of a democracy,called Canada. Disinforming the masses is a crime not a right as the truth never hurts but operating democracy or government under the sheild of deception most certainly does. Every epoch of deception carrys forth its confluence and cronies into the next generation it is easy to have the truth now covered in mired hisorical anachronism as the urgency to speed and change is internets game and changing the way we perceive the benefit of those whom deceive to gain. Safety in prosecution in some matters is the gain offered in these scenarios, subversion of government and democratic affairs of it and concealment to obstruct justice and establishing consort conspiratorial assistance with guile and device of puissant military presence and more subversions of the agreements UN ones to adhere to democratic Norht American Laws prevailing ones that seupercede british ones upon the North America and no notwithstanding clauses at all. Military cowards that surmise to be siding with alignements know the truth of defence of nation versus politics of alignments to obscure there is no excuse to protecting british criminals, Canada is indempendent and has been since 1943, whether the writers club believes this or not. Anachronisms though as the past unfolded are only confusing the progress of Canada towards a better dimocracy, by prohibiting those protections from state abuse being placed here, and part of the abuse is the arbitrary nature of information messaging to the Citizens, to disinform is too confuse and weaken the Citizen, and vullneralbe citizens are easily used, and used to death in a circus of cover ups that resurface decade after decade...with no change to the status of procedure right throught to the generation, cronies see to this and appointed justices, senators, media apethetics, and media bullies whom sided with selective truth whom were selected will be getting the justice they deserve. Slavery laws state that no man shall be deceived or utilized and silenced but more over have a right to be equal in all respects to be heard and speach is free and hoenst under tha days sunrise under God, and as open as that, no british histories permitted. Under God Bernard Louis Liberto.

Possible SP of an indef-banned user
Hi. If you remember, last year you blocked (after my report) for 1 year an anon vandal, 98.195.163.162 (contribs, block log), that has a long list of blocks since 2011, and last ones are of 3 monhts, 6 months, 1 year. 98.195 is the static IP of Sqadgangsterkilla (contribs), an indef-banned vandal only that focusized his action on street gangs, crime and public housing in the US, adding several hoaxes as this one or other you can see into his talk. Btw, after the end of the block, 2 weeks ago, he did only one edit (this one). Following the page linked I found the author, Dwaynerealonerichard (contribs). I've fixed and marked as patrolled the article because, as for the refs, it seems that the subject exists. Anyway, I found some strange "coincidences":
- this edit by 98.195 etc was done 13 minutes before article's creation by Dwayne. Telepathy?
- The fleld and the style is the same (public housing in the US, street crime facts) and, casually, early (nov. '11, jan. '12) last edits of 98.195 (one year ago) were in the page Algiers, New Orleans, in which DeGaulle Manor is located.
- This is a minor argument but another "coincidence" (IMHO): the nick "Dwaynerealonerichard" is complex as "Sqadgangsterkilla"... They share a similar style (sqad-gangster-killa, dwayne-real-one-richard)
It seems to me too evident that Dwaynerealonerichard is Sqadgangsterkilla but, before to take any "official action" (open an SPI case or other) I would explain to you the current situation and askin' for a help. You blocked him (the IP) 3 times, after my report at WP:AIV, and the last blocks (6 months and 1 year) were the longest ones to him. Sorry for the length of my message, but I've supposed the problem could be resolved in a more simple way aking you. Do you suggest me to open an SPI case about Sqadgangsterkilla or is it redundant at this point? IMHO, due to unreliability of the user, I suggest for a longer block of the IP (5 or 10 years at this point) and an indef block for Dwayne. I've fixed the article DeGaulle Manor but, for what I've seen sometimes, articles created by SP of indef banned user may be deleted. Thanks for your attention and for help.

Text deleted because not source viable
Hello,
Recently you deleted some of my text on Rufino Tamayo's wikipedia page because of less of reliable sources. Yet, the catalog recencinsg those paintings is not publiy yet, so I can't put any sources from internet or anywhere (for now, of course) In this idea, I will thank you a lot if you can reversing your modifications
En vous remerciant par avance, Benoit Belhassen. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benoit belhassen (talk • contribs) 09:54, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
IP vandal with different IP's
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that there is a strange IP vandal (114.160.71.150) out there you blocked yesterday. It looks like that this IP vandal is using different IP's:
- 188.123.133.21 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), - IP from Georgia.
- 83.209.116.9 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), - IP from Sweden.
- 178.131.36.211 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). - IP from Iran.
They are perhaps involved in a de-Turkification of wikipedia articles, at least they make the same edits deleting Turkic- or East-Asian-related passages, for example:
- (deleted internal link to Chuvash people),
- (deleted section: Sarmatians#Genetics),
- (deleted section: Sarmatians#Genetics),
- (suspicious false flag edit, ironically reverted by himslef one day later).
They are currently active at the page Sarmatians and are perhaps identical with following new IP addresses:
- 46.143.214.22 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log), - IP from Iran.
- 114.160.71.150 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log). - IP from Japan.
They use the same offensive speech like "pan-turkish"/"pan-hungarian" (18:23, 3 May 2014) or "Pan-Turkist"/"Pan-Turanist" (21:03, 3 May 2014). In the latter one the IP even suspected me that I would be a sock puppet master of various central Asian-related users.
Additionally, the IP's are possibly related to following cases:
- Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Iranzamin-Iranzamin,
- Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Tirgil34.
Presumably this a conflict of interest. Radosfrester 10:02, 7 May 2014 (UTC)
