Dinosaur restorations

They are being systematically corrected, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Dinosaurs/Image_review#Modified_inaccurate_images FunkMonk (talk) 15:36, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

OK, I'm fine with that. My browser was pulling up cached versions that still had the artist signatures and other issues. OhNoitsJamie 15:52, 4 August 2014 (UTC)
Ah, yeah, that didn't look too good... FunkMonk (talk) 15:55, 4 August 2014 (UTC)


Changes to Rupert's Land Definition

In the Rupert's Land page you have sited that Rupert's Land as a part of British North America, but in later paragraphs under the heading 'Hudson's Bay Company's surrender of its charter to the Crown' you have that the HBC didn't actually sell Rupert's Land,but instead surrendered its charter, so Rupert's Land was not a British Territory and not part of British North America, instead only being a part of North America in general. The HBC charter reads as to mean that the British Crown would protect the interests of HBC so long as it protected Britains greater interest. The charter is a little hard to read (wordy/verbose), but is clear.

Now regarding the disputed soveriegnty of 'First Nations'/'aboriginal groups' in the 'territory' the charter also notes the soveriegnty of the 'Natives and People Inhabiting' in the use of words, also employing the word Nacion (Nation) later in the same sentence. I am willing to quote and discuss in detail the reasons for my insights Rictor-8 (talk) 15:24, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Rictor-8


Changes to '420 (cannabis culture)'

I left a note which references simple mathematics, other pages within wikipedia, and personal experience (in regards to 3 $5 joints per gram). Why was that removed? Do I need to site myself? Rictor-8 (talk) 15:24, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Rictor-8

Yes. What you added is considered WP:SYNTH (or perhaps WP:POV; either way, it wasn't sourced. See WP:Verifiability and WP:RS for more information. OhNoitsJamie 17:23, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Orbital Fracture

Not sure if I am doing this talk page right, apologies if I am not. Would this be a better source: http://nypost.com/2014/08/19/cop-involved-in-ferguson-shooting-has-fractured-eye-socket-report/ please advise. Thanks. MeropeRiddle (talk) 03:57, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

No, because if you read the article, you'll see it comes from the same source as Breitbart: TheGatewayPundit, a decidedly far-right blog. OhNoitsJamie 04:00, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Edit, nevermind, there was an edit conflict as we were both typing at the same time. I see what you mean, and wanted to say nevermind, it is too biased. THank you for your time! — Preceding unsigned comment added by MeropeRiddle (talkcontribs) 04:09, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

No problem. It's certainly plausible that there was some sort of altercation and injuries, but we can wait until more information is released (i.e., official police report, etc.). Cheers, OhNoitsJamie 04:16, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Removal of reference

Hi, May I ask you to look at this case. User EtienneDolet removed perfectly referenced source, yet kept armenian source. I think it is direct breach of WP:NPOV as seen here https://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Guba_mass_grave&diff=622226015&oldid=622213342 --Yacatisma (talk) 20:23, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

I'm not involved with the Guba mass grave article. I explained in the edit summary why the GatewayPundit source was problematic. I'm not discussing it further. OhNoitsJamie 20:32, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Your revert on Ferguson unrest

Hi. Just wondering why you reverted my addition of a wikilink to 2011 London Riots with no explanation? I thought it would add context to a quote which may lead people to question which riots the journalist was referring to. Cheers --BZTMPS · (talk? contribs?) 15:39, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Please take a closer look at the revert. OhNoitsJamie 15:40, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Middle 8

Background behavioral evidence

User:Middle 8 is well aware of the sanctions and is aware of the 3RR and disruptive editing for the acupuncture page. See Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive845#User:Middle_8_again.

Middle 8 signed a malformed RfC against me. See Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_comment/QuackGuru2#Outside_view_by_Jm h649_.28Doc_James.29.

Middle 8 continued to make unfounded claims at Misplaced Pages talk:Requests for comment/QuackGuru2. See Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive825#There_was_a_previous_proposal_for_a_six_month_topic_ban_for_both_User:Mallexikon_and_User:Middle_8.

Middle 8 added WP:OR to the lead: ...and therefore preventable with proper training. The verified text is: "...it is recommended that acupuncturists be trained sufficiently."

Middle 8 deleted a failed verification tag but did not fix the original research he originally added to the lead.

Middle 8 was edit warring over the specific numbers in the lede. The text he added was also original research.

User:Kww warned Middle 8 for repeatedly making non-neutral changes to the same text.

Middle 8 added poor evidence and misleading text to the lede: "but have not been reported in surveys of adequately-trained acupuncturists." Only after User:Jmh649 commented on the talk page Middle 8 stated he misread the text.

Recent behavioral evidence

He deleted sourced text from the lede and body but he claimed the source does not support the statement. The comment he posted on the talk page shows he did read the source. Another editor finally restored the text after a long discussion. This was a huge waste of time dealing with Middle 8. He did not assume good faith with his comments during the content dispute: That's a tendentious reading of the source. RexxS's ad hominem & general drama is a confession of weakness. Middle 8 continued to argue against including to the text. See Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Medicine/Archive_51#Acupuncture_again.

He added a primary source and it was deleted. He argued the source met RS but ignored it was not a secondary source See Talk:Acupuncture#Reception:_survey_of_rheumatologists.

I was removing text that was not MEDRS compliant but he restored the sources that were poor evidence against MEDRS.

For example, In 1997, the American Medical Association Council on Scientific Affairs stated that, "There is little evidence to confirm the safety or efficacy of most alternative therapies. Much of the information currently known about these therapies makes it clear that many have not been shown to be efficacious. Well- designed, stringently controlled research should be done to evaluate the efficacy of alternative therapies." So what was the motivation to restore this? How is using a source that does not mention acupuncture improve the article? Read the edit summary. He thought one of the sources was dated but he still restored it. See Talk:Acupuncture#No_specific_explanation_was_given.

He added two primary sources. He then added even more primary sources or poor sources. He did not show how the sources are reliable in accordance with WP:SECONDARY. He did not address the issue about the primary sources or how the sources meet secondary and he ignored one of the sources is about ear acupuncture.

I have to get an admin to review the evidence first and to get permission to file a ANI or EA report according to an admin. I request permission to file a report at ANI or AE or you can decide what to do in this situation. QuackGuru (talk) 19:28, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

I should have time to go over the evidence tomorrow. OhNoitsJamie 02:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Here is more recent evidence. Middle 8 added extra details to the lede. After it was removed he replaced it with text that does not summarise the body. See diff. QuackGuru (talk) 06:10, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Question Not sure if I'm missing something obvious, but this is for a proposed ANI posting, not an SPI, correct? From my first pass at looking at this, I'm not sure if this merits an ANI report just yet. I agree with your points, but for now, it looks like you and Doc James are handling it pretty well (i.e., pushing back against the user's questionable edits, dodgy sourcing, etc). OhNoitsJamie 06:44, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
This is for a post at WP:ANI or I could file a report at WP:AE. Or you can decide if anything should be done: According to the discretionary sanctions he is aware of any admin may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. ArbCom has placed sanctions on alternative medicine articles which includes acupuncture. QuackGuru (talk) 18:39, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Middle 8 changed the text from sourced text to text that was original research and ambiguous in the lede.

A systematic review of systematic reviews found real acupuncture was no better than sham acupuncture and concluded that their is little evidence that acupuncture is an effective treatment for reducing pain. Sourced text.

A systematic review of systematic reviews of acupuncture for pain concluded that there is little evidence that acupuncture is an effective treatment, i.e. that real acupuncture may be no better than sham acupuncture. Misleading and ambiguous

The source says "In conclusion, numerous systematic reviews have generated little truly convincing evidence that acupuncture is effective in reducing pain." The source also says "real acupuncture was no better than sham." The source does not say "may be". He obviously added original research.

He added largely duplication using primary/poor sources. Rather than use poor sources I replaced it with independent sources and moved the text under the US section. The section for the US under International reception already stated "Acupuncture is used at many places in the US, including Harvard, Stanford, and Yale." Independent sources were being used but he is insisting on using a bunch primary sources even after better sources were found. There is no need for duplication or a separate section. The text from the each country can go into each specific section for each country in the International reception. QuackGuru (talk) 17:38, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Programmatic marketing

Check out "Programmatic Marketing" - that's just not true about who coined it etal. Here's a link to the phrase being used in 2012 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5kmqISceAE). Thanks. Sorry I'm not a better user of Misplaced Pages talk pages. Stuck this in Middle 8

You seem to have mistaken me for someone who is interested in marketing. If you look at my contributions to that page, you'll see that I simply reverted spam. I have no opinion regarding who coined the term. OhNoitsJamie 02:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

GGranddad Block

Could I ask you to please lower the block on User:GGranddad from indefinite to 48 hours? There is an active Checkuser request (]) and it may be useful to wait for the results of that to come back before implementing a permanent ban. DocumentError (talk) 00:04, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

No, that SPI is to see if there are any other socks to block, not to confirm our duck was quacking.TheTimesAreAChanging (talk) 00:24, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Sorry, this was actually a message for Ohnoitsjamie. I'm an uninvolved observer and I'd like to keep this request limited to those who are; thanks for your understanding and cooperation. DocumentError (talk) 01:03, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
I don't see how an active SPI is a good reason to reduce a block duration in this case. OhNoitsJamie 02:02, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
I only mention it as I'm concerned this block may get lost in the rubble if the SPI later exonerates GGranddad. A 48-hour block would allow time for the SPI to complete, at which time one of the SPI admins will likely issue an indefinite block (if GGranddad is shown to also be the other guy). DocumentError (talk) 02:06, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi, you took out a ref to a scholarly article I had added to the page - this is a good reference, from a peer-reviewed paper, I don't understand why you took it out, without any justification. Please advise, Best Zamuse (talk) 22:04, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

Please see WP:COI and WP:FRINGE; the first is obvious in this case. We don't permit link canvassing, regardless of the quality of the link. OhNoitsJamie 00:17, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Archive?

I have a question for you, even though I understand that you're busy with things. What's an archive on this website? I see the same word a bunch of times, and I am completely lost on what it is. Thanks. Skylar3214 6:33, 6 September 2014 To avoid discussion pages (either article talk or user talk) from becoming too long, pages can be automatically or manually archived; i.e., older stuff is moved to an archive page so that the page only has the most recent content. If you click the "Show Archives" link in the green box above, you'll find links to all of my archived talk. For personal talk pages, archiving is entirely optional; users are free to delete content, unless it pertains to an active block. OhNoitsJamie 01:37, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh, OK. I wanted to make sure what it means. Thanks. Skylar3214 6:44, 6 September 2014

Block evasion

Last week you blocked 190.162.88.128 contribs for block evasion. He's the "best known for" IP with the LTA page here. He's avoiding his block again as 190.181.164.175 contribs. No doubt it's him, appearing out of nowhere with the bitchy edit summaries and the "best of" fixation , etc. I can take this somewhere else if you want, but I'm losing track of where this guy is being dealt with. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:38, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Blocked. Thanks for catching that. OhNoitsJamie 22:47, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
That was fast! He might be hard to keep up with but I'll let you know if I spot him again. Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 22:53, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
He's back , although he is steering clear (so far) of the "best known for" thing. You can tell by the obnoxious edit summaries and the Chilean IP. I don't know how many blocks he's evading at the moment but I thought you might like to be aware of his work. I see the previous IP is actually still blocked.

Ohnoitsjamie's recent large-scale rollback

Thai Union Group revert

Hi there. Was there a specific reason to revert user:Factsearch's edits with edit of yours? Your present version has a more promotional tone due to sentences such as "For further information, please visit the TUF website at http://www.thaiuniongroup.com/" which Factsearch's version avoided. I've reverted your revert in the meantime. Please provide a valid reason for keeping your preferred version. - Takeaway (talk) 18:46, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Please read the note in the section just above this. OhNoitsJamie 18:48, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Ah, I just did and changed the ref to one from Reuters. Unfortunately, your revert had actually made the article more self-promotional than the spam that was hidden in the ref by Factsearch. :) - Takeaway (talk) 18:54, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Oh, I just tried to fix it myself, apologies if I stepped on your toes. Factsearch did occasionally make useful, non-spam edits, but the scale of the spam was too large to check each one. It's going to take awhile to clean up the mess. OhNoitsJamie 18:58, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
No problem. I thought Reuters would be a bit more neutral so I changed it to that, and also removed more promotional crud more the article. Now I've seen what Factsearch is doing, and how widespread it is, I can imagine that you didn't review every edit of his before reverting them. Cheers! - Takeaway (talk) 19:02, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Factsearch: spammed sites

Hello. I don't know if you've seen this page: http://www.themainstreammedia.com/, but there's a list of sites there, all of them owned by the company that Factsearch has been spamming for. I found the link to that list at the bottom of a page on liberianews.net that Factsearch was spamming a couple of days ago. Thomas.W 19:39, 11 September 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, that will be a useful reference! OhNoitsJamie 19:52, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
I've been keeping an eye on Factsearch for a couple of days, and was about to report them to WP:ANI, when I noticed that you had started to revert the links. Thomas.W 20:07, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
@User:Thomas.W - in case you are interested, I used the page above to generate this list of Big News spam links. Thanks again, OhNoitsJamie 22:14, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
Ouch. Thomas.W 12:29, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Factsearch reply

It is disappointing to find this topic being freely discussed and conclusions being drawn without any reference to me. Nonetheless I appreciate people are acting in good faith so I hope you will spare a couple of minutes to read my response which I have just left on my talk page, as follows:

It is extremely disheartening to regard significant work as a spam reference program, particularly without any dialogue. I can however understand how this would be construed.

My company does generate significant unique content for its network. The fact that part of it could be put to use in Misplaced Pages to me was making more use of that content. Only stories that would contribute to Misplaced Pages were added.

My interest in Misplaced Pages was not the motivation to add references, that came as a consequence, where I could see useful content my company was creating being put to further use. Engaging in a ‘spam reference’ program would be somewhat of a useless exercise in any event as virtually no traffic would be generated by it, and there is no value in the links because of the no-follow policy. Another consideration in a tiny way was to provide references with no registration required. One of my pet hates with Misplaced Pages is to go to a reference and find it is actually an invitation to subscribe to a newspaper, and without it I cannot access the article. Misplaced Pages is saturated with Wall Street Journal references. This may be ok for WSJ subscribers who work on Misplaced Pages, but for the 99% of the rest of us it is not. Many news sites now have this, almost all in Australia, and the UK, although there are some that are still freely available. Allowing references that require subscriptions being taken out is using Misplaced Pages as a promotions tool, in my view.

Not only references from my company were added although they were in the main for the reasons stated. There were other references added and significant work done to tidy up articles, and to add to them without references being added. I would stand by every edit done, as a genuine contribution to Misplaced Pages. My interest has developed over time mainly because I can see how outdated much of the encyclopedia is with a significant number of articles that have had no changes in years. My recent foray into expanding one contribution to so many sites was that it extended to many such articles, very small countries and articles that receive little to no attention. I can understand however now as to how that was perceived.

Anyway I at least wanted to explain why I did what I did. The work I have added has now been removed so there is nothing to be done there. And I will not use the account again, or any other account. If this account can be closed then please proceed to do that.

Sincerely,

Factsearch (talk) 01:02, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Regardless of your explanation, you clearly engaged in a long campaign in which nearly 100% of the references that were added were, as I suspected and you freely admit, conflict of interest additions. I had no problems finding replacement references for your Big News edits; in fact, my guess is that most (if not all) of Big News articles originate with Reuters or a similar service (hence the lack of reporter names attached to articles). In the meantime, I'll be filing a more comprehensive report for tracking purposes. OhNoitsJamie 01:28, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Removal of reference

Hello there, Ohnoitsjamie. Re: this, is there any reason for not having the removed reference in the article? I do not get your edit summary. Regards.--Jetstreamer  11:40, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

See the above discussions. The reference was added as part of a long-term reference spamming campaign for aggregator news sites, and can easily be replaced with a better source. OhNoitsJamie 14:06, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

Oh, no, it's Jamie! :-) Hi. I find it a little strange to write 'Humans preparing a meal in...' at a picture. Change the picture to that of a couple of famous French chefs and how does it sound?

Hello, Ohnoitsjamie. The discussed text describes the social function of the singing of vocal harmonies of a complexer level, something I value additional information, rounding up the article. Group does not mean Tetseo Sisters here. --Gerald Fritz (talk) 08:26, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

User talk:190.163.4.132

You previously blocked this user a couple days ago. The IP user is now trolling, leaving personal attacks, and edit-warring on his talkpage now, in addition to block evasion. I have also reported this to ANI, but I suggest that his talk page access be removed. Epicgenius (talk) 01:40, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Edit-warring on Belgaum

Hello. I noticed that you blocked BeingIndian593, who's been involved in an edit-war on Belgaum, so would you mind taking a look at the other party too? It's Chinmay.bhise (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), a single-purpose account that has done nothing but edit-warring on Belgaum since it was created. There are reports regarding both of them at WP:AN3, with some background info about what they've been fighting over. Thomas.W 18:05, 1 November 2014 (UTC)

Bangalore page move

Something appears to have messed up in your recent move of the article, with the article content having disappered. Also note that there appears to be consensus on the talk page not to move the article to the title Bengaluru, so you may need to move the article, and talk-pages back to the stable title (ie Bangalore). Abecedare (talk) 01:29, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Also for Belagavi: there appears to be consensus on talk page not to move the page. So can you move it back to the stable title of Belgaum ? Thanks. Abecedare (talk) 01:34, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Jamie, since you seem to have signed off for the day, I have requested other admins to restore the Bangalore article and move the pages back. See discussion here. Abecedare (talk) 02:11, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi, it looks like the Bangalore/Bengaluru move was inadvertently done twice, with the result that both article titles were a redirect, and the actual article on the city was deleted. I reverted one of these to ensure we still had an immediately readable article on the subject. Wanted to make clear this is not a reflection on your decision to move the article - just a cleanup of what appeared to be an accidental extra click. Happy to discuss if required. -- Euryalus (talk) 07:21, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for making a mess of that. I know people had been edit warring about names of Indian cities, and thought that given the official status conferred on November 1st that it would be appropriate to move. I accept that WP:COMMONNAME trumps "official" names. Thanks for cleaning that up. OhNoitsJamie 17:31, 2 November 2014 (UTC)

RFC on recent renaming of 11 Indian cities... use old or new names?

Thanks. Sounds like we should wait a few months until the dust settles and see if common usage has shifted further. OhNoitsJamie 15:04, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

"Best known for" IP

Hi Ohnoitsjamie: I believe we have an agreement at User talk:190.163.4.132 that justifies trying an unblock in exchange for the IP's promising to avoid further personal attacks and instead to call for other eyes when s/he considers a revert unjust. Inasmuch as the discussion at AN on whether the editor should be considered banned was inconclusive, I'm uncertain how to proceed: tell the editor to try an unblock request; reopen the recently archived AN/I thread that the IP opened and that led to your 6-month block, but which trailed off after the noticeboard had been semi-protected (without my realizing it); Drmies suggests first asking you whether you are willing to unblock. The discussion is there on the IP's talk page, and Epicgenius and SummerPhD have participated to some extent there too, although Epicgenius has since said he will honor the IP's request that he not post there, so you may want to sound him out elsewhere about his thoughts at this point. I won't take up more of your reading time here, but feel free to ask me to explain myself more if you wish. Yngvadottir (talk) 13:24, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I agree also. DGG ( talk ) 17:34, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Philae (spacecraft)

Hi, you reverted my edit which added, after the English pronunciation, the Latin one. Now, the name Philae IS A LATIN NAME (the Latin counterpart of the Greek Φιλαί, as the Ph reveals), and the Latin pronunciation IS A VALID PRONUNCIATION, for two reasons: because Philae is a Latin name AND because it is the pronunciation the majority of people at the European Space Agency use. Please google Philae fee-lay.

Take it to the article's talk page, not here. There's no good reason to clutter up the lede with alternate pronunciations, regardless of the origin. The article already has the IPA for the common pronunciation. OhNoitsJamie 23:52, 12 November 2014 (UTC)

Reply to the warning message issued to BengapqhBengapqh

Bengapqh I am well aware of the "no follow" robot meta tag, and it was never my intentions to advertise, as stated by you. I am yet to understand, how an external link is judged to be "inappropriate" by wikipedia standards. I would be delighted to state that I have as well created some non existing pages "Begunia group of Temples" a national heritage site yet to be listed on Misplaced Pages.
I further state that I would completely restrain myself from any further participation to Misplaced Pages of any type as my work here is measured in terms of spam. I would revert all the changes I have made if asked to.

I've already removed all of the links to your website that you spammed, so you need not worry about that. OhNoitsJamie 17:17, 15 November 2014 (UTC)

Begunia group of Temples

Bengapqh (talk) 14:34, 17 November 2014 (UTC) My sincerest apologies. I was unaware and misguided into external linking errands. Are citations equally measured as spam?? In case it does, I would be removing all of them. However, for the page Begunia group of temples, this is the only notable reference I have collected my data from.

WP:ELNO has all of the information you need regarding our external link policies. Also see WP:COI. You need not worry about the temple page; I merged it. OhNoitsJamie 14:55, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Hey, before the user screams at you, he is blocked for a month, not a week (). The block evasion was repeated multiple times, so I upped the block again. Regards.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:16, 24 November 2014 (UTC)

Link removal

Hi. You removed my link. I understand that despite being updated regularly my blog does not make the cut but why did u tag me as a spammer? A removal is acceptable but calling me a spammer on my talk page is not. Abciswhatiknow (talk) 06:55, 12 December 2014 (UTC)absiswhatiknow

I'm sorry that you are having trouble accepting this. Acceptance is not always an easy thing. (P.S. After reverting your link, I investigated further and found more; I've also removed all of those links from a spam only account. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie 15:11, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Issue

Before going for ANI, I thought of asking you, if you can handle this issue.

For a few hours, I have tried to discuss with User:Tropical sunset about his changes. He continues to make personal attacks and never provides any citations for the information that he continues insert in an article. I have removed one of his personal attack, and warned too. But he hasn't stopped.- Bladesmulti (talk) 15:26, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

From my research, it appears that Nepali, along with West Bengal two official languages, is an additional official language for a few districts. I'm not an expert on the geography of the area, but it appears that Ghum falls within those districts. If the edit warring/attacks continue, I'll take additional actions. OhNoitsJamie 15:48, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks and you are correct that those three are official languages, I had just added citation to that information on Nepali language. His removal of Bengali language from infobox was the main concern, I would have accepted it too if he could present a citation regarding the claim that "Bengali is spoken by none". Bladesmulti (talk) 15:55, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

Avalon

You removed a talk page edit here. Not complaining Jamie but this won't be the first time I have taken an edit at face value, only to see it removed later as "block evasion". For all I knew this might have been someone else who agreed with the previous battlers but was acting independently. Is there an infallible way to spot "block evasion" or is it just educated guesswork?: Noyster (talk), 10:18, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

The latter, which we call WP:DUCK. The more recent edits used the exact source text verbatim from this earlier novel-length post from Sweet Xeper and that user's sock IPs. (Note the "CONNECTION TO SICILY SOURCES" section. Same writing style as well (heavy use of ellipses, etc.) OhNoitsJamie 15:35, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
Thanks Jamie, I'm sure you are correct. There has been a resurrection at my talk page: Noyster (talk), 16:31, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

Can you explain your decline?

I do not understand what you are saying about me in your decline. -- GB fan 16:09, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

I was alluding the the blocked user's gloating on your talk page. If that's not clear, I'm happy to refactor the comment. OhNoitsJamie 16:10, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
The user never gloated on my talk page. They have never edited my talk page. They have gloated on Swpb's talk page. That was why I was confused. -- GB fan 16:13, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Oops, fixed. Thanks! OhNoitsJamie 16:17, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
If you look at the users talk page history, you will find that the user is constantly changing what is written in front of other users signature and therefore making the conversation confusing. The user justifies this editing by stating that he can edit anything on his own page. - w.carter-Talk 16:23, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
If we're talking about AYajeepms, it's a moot point as their talk page access has been revoked. OhNoitsJamie 18:10, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
Yes, I saw that. All the altering occurred before that block. I was just helping Yajeepms out with some fixes in articles and pictures, as I do for many new users, when all this started and I got caught up in it. I'll leave it to the admins now. Best, w.carter-Talk 18:24, 24 December 2014 (UTC)

The curious case of 203.0.215.4

I saw you left a stuff warning at User talk:203.0.215.4 back in April. Their editing history is intriguing - they left fake block notices, checkuser blocks yet, on the pages of 16 IPs and one registered user. (I've now gone through removing them all and welcomed the registered user.) The common element was that all had reverted at Herman Hu - mostly reverting Flagplus. But when I investigated, I found Flagplus' edits more positive than not: several instances of this, and the source for the birth date appears to pan out, and he started what is now the second paragraph on the lawsuit, which is sourced and also supports Hu still holding that position in 2014. So far as I can tell using Google translate. (Although Flagplus is one of the more extreme SPAs I have ever seen, and started the article on Hu with emphasis on that scandal, so I wouldn't want to portray them as saintly.) In any event all the edit warring and gross misuse of templates is stale. But if you hadn't warned back in April I would have done so now. Yngvadottir (talk) 18:36, 27 December 2014 (UTC)

Maheshwari Community edit

Dude, four citations are already placed in that article! As I am unable to find a research paper / newspaper on sub-castes within main caste (no one writes about such bull**it. No one has time for the same!), I started off with writing an article which I am not sure can be considered as another citation?! But there were citations from the only sources that were available on internet. 14.139.98.11 (talk) 06:57, 28 December 2014 (UTC)
