Why I reverted your edits to Los Angeles Science Fantasy Society

Your edits, while doubtless well-intentioned, show a lack of familiarity with LASFS; with science fiction fandom and LASFS' place within it; and with the history of the use of terms such as "science fantasy", fantasy and science fiction within the field. Each of them led a reader to articles less and less relevant to LASFS as it is and has been. (I assume you've never attended a LASFS meeting or visited their clubhouse?) --Orange Mike | Talk 22:13, 23 May 2016 (UTC)

The Force

NadirAli -- I'm writing here because you have not responded to several requests for response on the Force talk page.

In your massive reversion edit summary, you cryptically wrote I "removed it's comparison to the force which is what the section is all about". If you think I removed some important content, by all means restore it from the edit history.

However, your massive reversion removed swaths of other appropriate, encyclopedic content about third-party reaction, development of the concept, even more third-party sources sorely lacking from the "Scientific perspective" section.

If you are not capable of making selective content restorations, I am happy to help you via the article's talk page. I already did so once by restoring a blockquote from George Lucas. (I also asked you to explain on the talk page why it's worth keeping, and you did not deign to reply -- hence my removal two days later.)

I am restoring the large series of positive, well-intentioned, well-cited edits (including some serious corrections to your own similarly well-intentioned additions). Kindly be more deliberate, thoughtful, and selective in your use of the "Undo" button: not for the first time, restoring appropriate content you've removed is becomingtedious.

Please feel free to respond on your own talk page here, or on the article talk page, to indicate what specific "comparison to the force" you think I've removed. I'm happy to find it in the edit history and restore it so all engaged editors can discuss appropriate inclusion. --EEMIV (talk) 01:50, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

Here is a snapshot of the article from where you left off last night. What section, paragraph, or sentence(s) would you like to see restored for additional discussion? --EEMIV (talk) 01:53, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

A few thoughts:

1. I left a response to your note on my talk page. Do you prefer I leave comments on your talk page, there, or on the article talk page? Please let me know how you'd prefer to be contacted. I think the article talk page is most appropriate.

2. I see in your second content reversion you bemoaned that "A lot of my work has been altered/removed". Look: it's not your work. From a legal perspective, you give it up under the Creative Commons License. From a community perspective, we're all in this together. Looking at your talk page and other places you've contributed at Wikipedia, I'm not the first editor to raise concerns about your sense of owning your work. Be proud of your contributions, but also understand they might be edited, tweaked, moved, excoriated, and possibly shat on depending on other editors' whims, speed, insight, expertise, or foolishness. Trust me: I've felt it tonight! When you get the frustration welling up, though, you MUST take it to an article or user's talk page.

3. FYI, I also responded to your comments on the article talk page. I did not use the "ping" template. I don't think I even typed your name. A healthy habit is just checking the talk page at articles you're actively engaged in regardless of whether you see a notification flag.

Good night! --EEMIV (talk) 02:27, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

For your perusal

Please read the instructions at WP:PIPELINK for further explanation of why WikiP does not use unpiped links in articles. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD|Talk 22:40, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for your message and the link to the guideline. I read the guideline, but did not see where my edit went against it. Jinnah and Jinnah (film) are two different topics and not to link it to the specific topic would be misleading. And although I don't think it's a big enough issue to argue over, I should perhaps consult on the help desk just to clarify. Regards.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 22:47, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Hello again. Please keep the conversation in one place so that we don't have to pop back and forth - I have your talk page on my watchlist. The important thing to note is that links are not meant to be left unpiped. The fact that the title is in italics indicates that it is a link to a film and not to an article about the person. I do understand your point though so I have made an edit that keeps the link within the MOS and addresses your concerns. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 23:22, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

I have posted a question on the help desk, hopefully they can clarify this.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 23:25, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Balochistan

Your addition here seems more suited to the CPEC article. The human rights context does not appear very obvious; it refers to political disputes, internal conflicts and provincialism, so once again - how that links back to "human rights" (please see the article's scope) needs to be more clearly defined. Also, the author of that Deutsche Welle article is Shamil Shams, a Pakistani journalist who works in DW's Urdu service. So it is not exactly an international expert's work as you asserted.

Iranian peoples: The image issue

Of course that is a free-use image; otherwise it wouldn't be uploaded to Commons. But this is clearly not an excuse. We could go on with hundreds of other examples of people with Iranian background, many of whom have definitely a higher quality of being mentioned.
You can add the image into a non-generic and relevant article, where it can provide a considerable and helpful information.
I don't consider you a POV-pusher, but you need to avoid POV and I Just Like It arguments.
Regards.
–Rye-96 (talk) 10:33, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

To editor Rye-96: I don't see what's wrong with it. I could just as well remove the other images under the same arguments. Your argument comes through as "I like the other pictures, I just don't like this one." It's as necessary or "unnecessary" as the other images. You have not cited one policy that image and it's placement is in violation of, other than personal POV, which is not an excuse.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 20:51, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

October 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, articles should not be moved, as you did to Real-life superhero, without good reason. They need to have a name that is both accurate and intuitive. Wikipedia has some guidelines in place to help with this. Generally, a page should only be moved to a new title if the current name doesn't follow these guidelines. Also, if a page move is being discussed, consensus needs to be reached before anybody moves the page. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 08:56, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

@McGeddon: What makes you think that there was no good reason for it? The intro is plural and the article mentions more than one single superhero. Why does everyone revert everyone else for the sake of reverting? Have you not read the reason given? One of the many reasons this "encyclopedia" is failing.--NadirAli نادر علی (talk) 17:39, 4 October 2016 (UTC)

There were two problems with your move - it went against WP:SINGULAR (which gives no exception for first sentences that happen to be written in the plural), and "superheros" is not the correct spelling of "superheroes". I said as much in the edit summary. Titles are singular even if the article mentions more than one of them (eg. Human) - it's only when a term is always pluralised (Scissors) that the article name is pluralised. --McGeddon (talk) 17:45, 4 October 2016 (UTC)
