A barnstar for you!

The Anti-Vandalism Barnstar
It's vandal-fighters like you that keep this place in order. Thank you for your hard work! — MusikAnimal talk 16:44, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
Awesome! Thank you MusikAnimal! Would you believe I've been here since 2008 and this is my first barnstar? Anyhow, it's very much appreciated. It's certainly nice to be noticed. --Non-Dropframe talk 16:50, 6 October 2015 (UTC)
I'm certain there are many more where that came from :) Keep it up! — MusikAnimal talk 16:53, 6 October 2015 (UTC)

Citations to Hasso Plattner article

Hi Non-dropframe, I was wondering if you might take a quick look at the talk page for Hasso Plattner? I'm trying to add missing citations to the article, but have had no luck thus far in terms of requesting edits/getting them made. I think the citations would strengthen the article immensely. I hope you agree. Also, I was wondering if we might add a line about Hasso's new book? He has published several books, but this is the most recent. Thank you for any guidance and help you can provide!! Harper70 (talk) 15:00, 5 October 2015 (UTC)Harper70

Harper70 Hello! As far as citations go, you can actually add them yourself if you like. Read WP:CITE which describes how to add citations. Also be sure to review WP:VERIFY which describes the type of sources acceptable to use. Further, if the subject's book is notable, it can certainly be added with a citation. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance! Thanks! --Non-Dropframe talk 15:09, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for your prompt response! I am an SAP employee, and thought that the COI rule applied to any direct changes to a page. So I just want to double-check that. Thanks again for taking time on this question!! Harper70 (talk) 19:06, 5 October 2015 (UTC)Harper70
Harper70 Oh, I see. That does change things a little bit. I misunderstood. When I have a few minutes, I'll review your request and make the changes if appropriate. --Non-Dropframe talk 19:17, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Thanks again for your review of the Hasso Plattner article/new book. Do the citations bear more consideration? It'd be great to add them and strengthen the article. Please let me know. Harper70 (talk) 13:48, 7 October 2015 (UTC)Harper70

User 166.70.157.58

Hi, just to let you know the IP in question already had a level 4 warning before they made the edit that you reverted... so I've reported it to AIV. RA0808 talkcontribs 15:06, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Awesome, thank you, RA0808. That warning was automatically added with Huggle so I appreciate you noticing that and taking the appropriate action. --Non-Dropframe talk 15:22, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

My articles

I worked really hard on both my articles. I did a lot of extensive research to back up my claims, and wrote everything there is to know about them that is useful to the reader. Why can't we keep the page if it's good quality? Philmonte101 (talk) 21:46, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Philmonte101 Like I said, I really do appreciate your work. Put simply though, "Wikipedia is not everything." I'm not an administrator and even if I were, your article does not warrant unilateral deletion. Rather, I'm going to start a community discussion via a process called Articles for Deletion. There, you'll have the opportunity to present your opinion on why you believe the article should be included in the encyclopedia and the community will come to a consensus over a period of seven days. --Non-Dropframe talk 21:53, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Non-dropframe, I edited out the plot of singh is bliing because it will spoi; the movie for people who have not seen, like me. I thought that revealing the whole film was not constructive. If you think I have made that mistake. Please message me. Thnx :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Englishenglishenglish (talk • contribs) 18:57, 9 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Englishenglishenglish according to the policy at Wikipedia:Spoiler, "It is not acceptable to delete information from an article because you think it spoils the plot." --Non-Dropframe talk 20:20, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
Mr Non-dropframe, it IS good to put information on the article, but not TOO MUCH information. Listen, I'm want this debate to be mild, all I'm saying is putting the plot is a bit unnecessary, because information like that isn't really on book articles and newspapers. That's the problem with wikipedia movie pages, they reveal the plot and that is unnecessary information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Englishenglishenglish (talk • contribs) 21:48, 9 October 2015 (UTC)
Englishenglishenglish, although I understand and sympathize with your concern, the policy has been created by a consensus of the community over a long period of time. --Non-Dropframe talk 12:12, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

Reversed edits without reading reason, deleting content related to dead links — Preceding unsigned comment added by SShyu01 (talk • contribs) 19:01, 10 October 2015 (UTC)

I see that you undid my revision. I was in the midst of providing links to court documents. These would consistute credible sources. Because the court documents are not available online, the links are, by necessity, to blogs on which copies of the documents have been published. However, all documents are independently verifiable (though, not as easily so as it should be.)

I am going to undo your deletion and re-add the links to the court documents. Please hang on before deletion.

Reverted Edit

Hello,

I recently attempted to add a reference to the article on the .30-338 Weatherby Magnum, which was reverted.

I am new to wikipedia and I am trying to understand why it was reverted.

Could you provide some additional information?

Huntbook1 (talk) 16:11, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

wow....I made some important corrections and clarifications....and they were ignored!

Oh gosh.....Why did I bother with this attempt to correct and improve the info on loons, which I have studied for 23 years? I suppose this is an automatic system that disregards the changes one makes? Was this response simply because I failed to log in? How disheartening!

My corrections were carefully considered to improve the content. I corrected the error that loons use their wings while swimming by deleting a short passage. I also clarified how they take off, which they do NOT do by "swim[ming] into the wind" as the document currently says, but by running across the water with wings flapping. Finally, I added important new data from the U.S. Geological Survey (not my data, but good solid data from scientists with whom I have worked in the past) that shows precisely how far loons DO fly on migration. I was struggling to add a link to the website at USGS, where they provide these data. It is http://www.umesc.usgs.gov/terrestrial/migratory_birds/loons/questions.html.

I mean.....does Wikipedia want to provide information this is current and of high quality....or not? Seriously.

Is this just because I did not log in? I am sorry if that was necessary. I am not trying to hide. I am Walter Piper of Chapman University and have studied loons in northern Wisconsin for 23 years. I have a website at loonproject.org that tells about me and what I do.

I really am just trying to improve content. I am sad to see that this was a waste of time.

(talk page stalker)I can't speak for Non-dropframe, but I would guess they reverted your edit because it was unsourced. I would encourage you to add it back with a proper inline citation to support the statements made. clpo13(talk) 17:20, 11 October 2015 (UTC)

Redirects

Clearly you know way more about wiki than I do. I know you are a busy guy :) But can you maybe give me just one tip on what a good redirect might look like in respect to games/ and video games genre. Because that is what I am interested in. I thank you again for your time and help with this matter, I just joined this community today and am extremely excited! I can tell already you guys are really smart people. PS: im the guy who just wrote a bad articel about games and you removed it literally 15 minutes ago.

Hey, Falewin, I'd be happy to help you out as much as I can. Here is a page all about redirects (a little tip: Typing "WP:" in the search box enables you to search for Wikipedia related pages like information and policy pages). In short, redirects are contentless pages that exist to send the reader to another page. Redirects should be plausible. So, for example, redirecting "JFK" to "John F. Kennedy" would be a plausible redirect. However, redirecting "JFK 1(5^" to "John F. Kennedy" would not be a good redirect as the likelihood of anyone making that typo or thinking the page might be located there is next to zero. You can create a redirect with this code: #REDIRECT [[TARGET PAGE]]. Simply replace the "target page" text with the name of the page you wish to redirect to. If I can help you out more, please let me know. Oh and one last thing. On talk pages, be sure to sign your posts like this: ~~~~. Thanks! --Non-Dropframe talk 18:03, 20 October 2015 (UTC)
I am actually being completely honest. You are 100% the most helpful person on wikipedia. May god bless you! Falewin (talk) 18:08, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

ZanesyPoodle the animal is known most widely as the "Giant tortoise" and the title of the article should remain that per WP:COMMONNAME.

Keith Okamoto, you're quite right. After looking at the edit history for that page, I would caution you against editing much further. Although your edits aren't "reverts" in the traditional sense, they are reverts in effect. In the future, issuing the user cautions on their talk page and making good use of edit summaries will keep you on the right side of any disputes and will aid in having the user blocked, if needed. --Non-Dropframe talk 18:13, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Heading

==Nondropframe, My name is Bill Thomas. I am the brother of Cathleen Thomas,who together with her friend Rebecca Dowski were the first two victims in the so called Colonial Parkway Murders. Please don't remove my edits-- I worked very hard to update the case in terms of new articles and new developments. I actually worked on the edits and new links for hours over the weekend. The page desparately needed an update. 

I am not very experienced with Wiki, so I may not have known how to sign in, but I can assure you that I made all of the edits with the best of intentions.  You can reach me via e-mail at billthom56@aol.com, or on my cell at 917-434-2525. I live in Los Angeles, so there may be a time zone difference.  If I made a mistake or two, please help me edit the changes rather than delete them.  Best regards, Bill Thomas

Unexpected revert

While reviewing some changes to a lottery-related page, I found this edit by you (using Huggle) where you changed correct but unsourced information back to an incorrect and unsourced version. This revert was unexpected from an editor with your extensive history. Is there any particular reason I should not restore the correct info to the article? (Please ping if you reply)Etamni | ✉ | ✓  06:13, 1 November 2015 (UTC)

Etamni, reviewing that edit, I certainly don't recall making it. You are indeed correct to wonder why it would be reverted -- I'm wondering the same myself. I'm not sure if it was a mistake on my part or an issue with the software (Huggle is a bit buggy on the Mac OS). In either case, my sincerest apologies. --Non-Dropframe talk 14:26, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
No worries. :) The IP user who posted the material has a habit of putting unsourced information into lottery-related articles, and has been doing so for years (first lottery-related edit from the IP address was nearly eight years ago). My review of the user's edits, however, show very few were questionable, other than the lack of citations. Personally, given that the information is so easy to verify, I've been treating it as WP:BLUE and adding citations when anyone else has questioned the material. The IP user really should include references, but I'm uncomfortable making a big case out of it given that the edits all appear to be made in good faith. In any case, I've restored the info and removed the warning for non-constructive editing.

Airtical

Hey there: I came across the article Airtical and noticed that you'd tagged it for speedy deletion under WP:CSD G7 after the page's creator blanked the page. I noticed that after you tagged it, the page's creator "unblanked" the page and removed the speedy delete tag. I restored the tag since article creator's aren't supposed to remove the tags themselves, but then I realized perhaps the tag isn't relevant anymore since the page is no longer blank. Just thought I'd ping you in case you had any thoughts on this. If you still think the article should be deleted, perhaps the reason for speedy deletion should be reclassified. Thanks! Safehaven86 (talk) 16:28, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Anyway im not going to argue about it, but that page will be incomplete, people should know they have a free solution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Railcorp (talk • contribs) 05:21, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Hi, Railcorp. I reverted your edits because the tone was highly promotional, regardless of if the product is free or not. Please read WP:NOTADVERTISING for more information. --Non-Dropframe talk 16:59, 16 November 2015 (UTC)


Ok mate, well ill try again and i will make it with no "advertising" tone. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Railcorp (talk • contribs) 00:31, 18 November 2015 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Edting Arequipa

Hello. I'm new to this talk page, I hope I'm doing it the right way. Regarding the edits in the article about Arequipa I removed notes without any reference to the topic being treated and also removed a photo which barely showed what it intended. This is not vandalism, I'm Peruvian and with knowledge of topics related to my country. next time I'll be careful to communicate the reason of some edits. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Frank R 1981 (talk • contribs) 20:19, 25 November 2015 (UTC)

Splitting List of Stuff You Should Know episodes - copyright violations

Hi. I've attempted to address your concerns regarding content split from List of Stuff You Should Know episodes to several other pages (see Talk:List of Stuff You Should Know episodes for all split so far). Has the removal of the questionable text rendered them safe? The issue was raised before the split, and was on the todo list. fredgandt 21:38, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Fred_Gandt, yes, that does indeed satisfy my concerns. Thanks! --Non-Dropframe talk 21:44, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
No problem. So, the splits can continue? Can you take a look at the main page I'm splitting from, and let me know (as you can see, I'm attentive) if I should remove all the summaries BEFORE performing the rest of the splits? Cheers. fredgandt 21:47, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Fred_Gandt, my personal opinion is that content is non-free and should therefore be removed from wherever it is. I have no problem with the splits and will stay out of your way there but that content should be removed if it's split or not. As to if you should remove it before or after the split, I'll leave that to your discretion. --Non-Dropframe talk 21:51, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Agreed on policy and being the splitter nearly got me in trouble :-( I guess the safest thing to do is remove them all, then split, then they can be rewritten safely afterwards. Thanks for your diligence and rapid responses. fredgandt 21:55, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

IP edits, ARB500/30

Thank you for this warning. You have the right (and someone indeed has the responsibility) to revert this edit and not only "warn against it". I'm being told I am not allowed to touch it by a female editor whose talk page I cannot even message. Stew Pidd Crow (talk) 23:05, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Stew Pidd Crow I certainly would not stand by and allow that sort of behavior directed at you. That said, you're not in the right here either. You made your point of view very clear in your initial edit summary (over 70,000 at hands of Israeli terrorist forces) and continued to edit war when your edit was reverted. In the future, keep in mind that Wikipedia is no place for your personal opinions. The article's talk page is the best place to go in order to build an article through consensus rather than fighting over opinion. If I can be of any assistance, please do let me know. --Non-Dropframe talk 23:14, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Yeah but "ONLY" in the summary, I swear I'd not ever dream of using such terms in articles. The quality of an edit is based on what gets printed in articles, not so much summaries. That's another discipline even if it mine should be avoided. Stew Pidd Crow (talk) 23:30, 30 March 2016 (UTC)
Stew Pidd Crow, when you use your edit summery as your own personal soapbox, users may perceive your entire edit as being made in bad faith. In effect, your edit summary is part of your edit. It's to let other users know what you did and why. Therefore, if your edit summery contains incendiary language like "Israeli terrorist forces," it seems as though your personal beliefs are that "why." --Non-Dropframe talk 23:36, 30 March 2016 (UTC)

Your Life Your Choice Awareness Month

Hi, Thanks for getting back to me about my page. Can I ask what I can do to change my page so it complies with Wiki rules? What needs to be added or changed? I'm really hoping to keep this page, but obviously I realise that I need to comply with the rules. JustLiz (talk) 00:24, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

JustLiz, basically, things on Wikipedia should be notable. What this means is that they've gotten in-depth third party coverage from other sources. For example, if a newspaper or similar outlet covered your event, that may be evidence of notability. Review the guidelines and I'd highly suggest going on the Wikipedia adventure to get a good overview of contributing to Wikipedia. Oh, and of course, I'm always happy to help answer any question you may have. --Non-Dropframe talk 00:50, 2 April 2016 (UTC)

Wombniversal/Wombniverse on Wikipedia

Regarding "Wombniverse" and "Wombniversal"

Greetings!~ Both of the terms were originally coined by me in 1999 on my MySpace Page. Lately, upon doing a recent search, i noticed that the term has most recently been used by companies, radio shows, etc., in their own way. I wanted to make sure that the original use of the term was properly noted. I noticed that you have been here for quite some time, so can you assist me with making the page a proper reference according to the "Wiki" format, in order that the origin of the term may be properly protected?

Thanks Tisa

Hi, Tisa,I'm always happy to help a new editor. There are a handful of issues with your article and I'd be happy to explain them. The first is notability. Generally, in order to demonstrate notability, you need reliable third party sources. Unfortunately, a link to your MySpace page wouldn't qualify. Second, because you're closely related to the subject, you have a conflict of interest. COI editing is highly discouraged. Frankly, Wikipedia doesn't exist to ensure you receive credit or to build a case for a trademark. Finally, the page as it's currently written seems highly promotional. If you'd like information on constructively contributing to Wikipedia, this is a good place to start, and I'm always happy to answer further questions or clarify what I've said. Thanks! --Non-Dropframe talk 21:28, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Peace Non-Dropframe:
Thanks for an expedient response. I understand. How can i make it better? How can the source of this term be properly explained if not from the originator of it, especially if it is being coined? I am not as much interested in promoting myself, as I am in promoting the proper origin of the term and the concept... PLEASE HELP.
Tisa, I suggest reading the General Notability Guideline to begin with. This is the main "bar" by which inclusion is judged. In short: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list." This "significant coverage in reliable sources" is what must be demonstrated with references. You'll need to be able to prove, again, with references to reliable sources, that the term was coined in the manner which you claim. I will, however, caution you again about COI editing and point to WP:FIRSTARTICLE as a good starting point for all new editors. --Non-Dropframe talk 21:40, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Ok.... I found one: http://www.assatashakur.org/forum/hood-news/12676-dr-afrikas-comin-town.html Linked to my other email address: lotus19@gmail.com.... (Top right hand corner: Location: The Wombniverse) I haven't been on MySpace for a long time... looking for that as well.... and my writings.
Tisa, unfortunately, this wouldn't qualify as a reliable source. This is a primary source while Wikipedia requires secondary and tertiary sources. If you review the notability guideline which I referred you to, it defines each term ("reliable," "independent," etc.) very thoroughly. I would suggest you slow down and take a step back. Even if the article gets deleted, it's not gone forever and can be re-created at a later time with much stronger content. As a doctor, I'm sure you've written your share of research papers so draw on that experience, asking yourself how you'd properly establish basic facts from secondary sources. Again, WP:FIRSTARTICLE is a great resource. --Non-Dropframe talk 21:51, 5 April 2016 (UTC)
Non-Dropframe: True. I understand. I have some published materials using the term, which is also copyrighted. Thanks for the insight. I hope it will eventually get sourced properly. :) Thank you again for your advice. I will review the article and properly protect the information of the terms.
Happy to help, Tisa, let me know if I can be of any more assistance. --Non-Dropframe talk 21:57, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of London Emperors

Hi. I was aware that the article London Emperors could be nominated for deletion, and therefore, I kept it as a stub. However, I thought it would survive the night (in Sweden) when I slept. I can understand that the London Emperors are still more on the project level than a hockey team, but if the club meets the requirements from KHL due to 30 April, they are members of the second largest hockey league in the world. If the KKL not allow them, they will probably try to join the EIHL What was the main issue with for the deletion? Was it too short (I can extend it and add 10 more references) or is that the fact that it still is on the project level? / Regards RefDr (talk) 06:55, 9 April 2016 (UTC)

1992

The edit I made was unsourced. I didn't created it. Someone else did. I even searched up, "Steven Deppen". And there's no article called "Steven Deppen". I think you made a mistake or something... 142.161.251.189 (talk) 01:20, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

142.161.251.189, you're quite correct, my mistake. I must have misread the diff. --Non-Dropframe talk 04:21, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

HMS

This is a subjective matter (though I am pretty sure you will disagree). If every single unsourced statement had to be sourced? Why leave so many such as the following; "King Leopold II demanded that Stanley take the longer route via the Congo River, hoping to acquire more territory and perhaps even Equatoria."

The choice of the route Stanley used is a matter of some extensive debate and so one would therefore like to have this sourced too. But you see no need to remove that and many other statements. Your focus and that of others, whether intentional or not (though I suspect it is intentional), is pretty clear to me.

Your response obviously is that I should therefore go ahead and remove those I consider candidates for removal/correction. I actually do that and unfortunately, it is not feasible to do so for each and every statement like that I come across. On the other hand, you (meaning the person(s) who have been deleting it) have made it goal to see nothing I add here go unchallenged. Even when a source is added, you cannot avoid feeling the need to add a counter argument.

My point is that even adding a source will not satisfy you and others like you because your end goal is something else.

Sometimes, too high a premium is placed on sources. If a source is the threshold to get a statement added, I could easily get a source which merely supports my view point. What good does it do?

Actually, since the statement is actually a fact from reading Stanley's own material, I will go ahead and add a wonderful citation.

Sounds good. --Non-Dropframe talk 22:14, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Regarding the above edit, I noticed that someone removed it altogether and that actually proves my point; there is an effort among some folks to make sure that any negative material (even correctly cited), must be counterbalanced and cannot be the last word on HMS. So, an uncited claim such as what I provided earlier, is left for years because it does not paint HMS in a negative light. But the minute a single phrase is added which is cited but may paint him in any negative way, it irks some of us so much that we cannot bear see it as the last word.

I saw the message you just sent me about my edit. What I stated is that certain language is ABSENT from Stanley's books. How am i supposed to cite that? Is that not a fact as plain as saying that, "by default, asphalt/tarmac is not red"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:192:8200:1920:E46A:802B:9480:A962 (talk) 11:06, 11 April 2016 (UTC)

Bad revert at Jon Kedrowski

Hi! I hate to tell you, but you made a bad revert here when you reinstated unsourced or poorly sourced information about a living person, which is clearly forbidden per WP:BLPREMOVE.

Thanks for your message, Politrukki. As you correctly stated, the user did not give an edit summary regarding the content removal.

Hello, 206.209.15.6. As you may imagine, vandalism from school IPs is very common. It's dealt with in much the same way as any other IP vandalism (increasingly stern warnings and, if needed, a block). Blocks don't stop people at an IP from viewing the encyclopedia, only from editing. If vandalism persists over time and short-term blocks don't do the job, the IP of a school may be blocked indefinitely (see WP:SCHOOLBLOCK). The best way not to have to worry about being blocked is simply to register for an account. Loging in as a user, even from a blocked IP, will allow you to edit. Let me know if I can explain further or be of any other assistance! --Non-Dropframe talk 02:33, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
