Mammootty

Dude now check the main lead. Every thing mentioned is sourced and all sources are reliable. please check before reverting. myself cleaned unwanted content.now the article looks perfect. Thanks Harirajmohanhrm (talk)‎ 14:40, 26 September 2014 (UTC).

PEAR Lab

Hi: When you get a chance, could you help follow up on the notes at Talk:Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research Lab? I absolutely agree that this stuff ain't science, but is rather more of an academic/cultural curiosity. I'd like to get the background/funding into the same tone/style as many of the other parapsychology entries, like Perrott-Warrick Fund for example. Per yr comment, it doesn't have to be in the lede of course. We should also try to deal with the WP:BLP and WP:SCAREQUOTES item, in the absence of evidence of actual malicious intent. Tnx! jxm (talk) 16:33, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Just checking back with you on this item. I was thinking of reinserting some of the background/funding material into the body instead of the lede. As you pointed out, it's not quite appropriate there. Thoughts? jxm (talk) 18:37, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

Arthur Richard Andrew Scace

It seems that this QC is notable, so I added added citations and removed your proposed deletion tag. Bearian (talk) 17:04, 11 October 2014 (UTC)

Regarding Kiril Tenekedjiev

I saw what happened at Kiril Tenekedjiev. While I agree the article should be deleted, Jackmcbarn technically is correct in noting that any source is enough to ward off WP:BLPPROD (whereas a reliable source is necessary for the tag to be removed; it's asymmetrical). I'd suggest using a regular PROD instead of BLPPROD, or AfD if necessary, to get rid of such articles. Huon (talk) 21:51, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

@Huon:: ] that supports at least one statement made about the person in the article."]]-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 22:50, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

Yes, as I said removal requires a reliable source. Adding BLPPROD requires the article not to cite any source, which would include primary sources such as the subject's website (Quote: "Only add a BLPPROD if there are no sources in any form that name the subject", and see explanation in WP:BLPPROD). I know this is inconsistent, I didn't invent the rule, and I personally think we should allow adding BLPPROD to all biographies that don't cite a reliable third-party source, but that's not what it currently says. Huon (talk) 23:07, 12 October 2014 (UTC)

india-forums's credibility

You are still sure that it is an unreliable citation? I just tagged at one place. As you were supporting the blacklisting of this website, like 2 years ago. I wanted to ask again. Bladesmulti (talk) 11:41, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

@Bladesmulti: i still see nothing at http://www.india-forums dot com/about_us.asp which indicates they place any value on fact checking and editorial oversight. and the site is still on the black list. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:24, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "GamerGate (controversy)". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 21 October 2014.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

Edit War

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Humsafar. 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 Misplaced Pages'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. Turgan 15:59, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Improving Corona del Mar High

I agree that these pop culture references now would fit under heading "Campus Culture," but the fit seems odd juxtaposed with these controversies. Other ideas? --Dalton D. Hird 16:53, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Undid revision?

Hello! I had recently added to the page Derp. I understand that the article has been the home of much past vandalism, yet my contribution was not at all vandalism in any form. I cited my addition to the page, and the citation was reasonable. Was this a mistake or something? If I need to add another citation for more evidence, I can do so (the HCAM site also proves my addition as true). If the revert was automatic or something similar, I am not mad at all. I am just confused! Please respond to me as soon as possible. Thank you for your time! Squiddaddy (talk) 22:37, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) Frankly, I don't think Derp Snootsly is notable enough, but I'd be interested to see what TRPOD thinks. -Roxy the dog™ (resonate) 23:36, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

I have found a legitimate blue-link landing page that I can link Derp Snootsly to (the section of the Hopkinton, Massachusetts page on "The Author Side" and "Derp and Merp"). I could not find a separate article dedicated to the character, but I was not surprised (not many television shows or book series do have separate articles for each character). I hope this will do, because I learned of the phrase "Derp" from reading "Derp and Merp." That is why I even added the character in the first place! If you have any questions, just respond on my talk page. Thanks so much, Squiddaddy (talk) 19:32, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

@Squiddaddy: you have to go four levels deep before there is anything close to "legitimate" - from the city, to its non notable cable channel to a blurb on channel to a character on the blurb- that is not a "legitimate" landing place. By that logic my runaway snot of a dog would be able to have a redirect because you can go from the city to the city services to the dog catcher who has become very familiar with my dog. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:33, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

Revert at

Can you please explain your revert at Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, or undo your revert? Tamravidhir explicitly requested my help, and that edit was to be the first of a set of copyedits. Curly Turkey ⚞¡gobble!⚟ 00:06, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

@Tamravidhir: i completely misread the {{plainlist template and instead saw what appeared to be a random insertion of {{pianist my fault entirely.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 01:01, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Shahid Kapoor

Reliable source or not? --NeilN 03:35, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

User:NeilN If he had actually said that, it would've been followed by other reliable sources like Times, NDTV, etc. I don't think that he has actually said it, if you are going to find another secondary source for this information, there are a few blogspot blogs and that's it. Bladesmulti (talk) 04:04, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Sean Lien

Sorry not to respond more clearly! No non-Chi-wiki source says Sean Lien born in Taiwan. The article cited by other editor about accusation that Sean born in northern not southern Taiwan. Confusion all based on Chi-wiki. Lien doesn't deny birth in US. Dispute seems to be about where he "grew up." I guess he wants to seem more Taiwanese and emphasize connection to Taipei (north). But not like Obama. Current president not born in Taiwan; everyone knows. Not a law problem here. Just about how people feel. Concerns a fact. So easy to sort out. Relevant thing is that all published reports, except Chin-wiki, say born in US. His dad was a student at the time. So not a big issue. His campaign info talks about where he "grew up." Thanks!Taiwansov (talk) 03:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Aagadu

Hi. There are many test edits being done on the article Aagadu. Many IPs and users are unable to accept the film's failure which may affect the article in terms of neutrality. For maintaining it, i want to remove these lines from the top. They are :

• IB Times stated that the film received "decent" reviews.

• The film became the highest weekend opening Indian film in the U.S. box office.

The first one would be placed in the Critical Reception while the second one would be retained in the Overseas Box office. Please suggest me what to do in this case whether i can do it or no with reasons. Thank you. Pavanjandhyala (talk) 04:48, 17 October 2014 (UTC)

my bad on gg talk page revert

My bad on revert. Had thought I had clicked elsewhere in watchlist on small screen device, did not see that it took a click as a rollback option. Was purely unintentional. --MASEM (t) 14:25, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

That is my final argument

I just object to having what I wrote in a discussion shut down.

Incidentally, your pen name makes you seem sadistic, given that you will be in conflict with people. Because of that pen name, it is hard to discern whether you may be a person with some integrity or just someone who delights in destroying. But I will allow that you may be sadistic.--Reidme (talk) 17:17, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

I see that you dont ascribe to WP:AGF. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 17:25, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

A9

You tagged several songs with WP:CSD#A9. Unless the articles are untrue, in which case you need a different tag, they are not eligible for A9 because the artist or artists have articles on Misplaced Pages. Please be more careful using this tag. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 23:51, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
