Hello Oshwah,
You blocked my account - ScenicMedia.
Per the issues cited in the block, I created a new account using my own name.
Please note, the original account was not an organization per se -- it's the name of my own LLC/sole proprietorship.
I just happened to create the account using that name because it's handy.
That said, I'm okay to leave it blocked (or if you can delete the account, that's okay too).
In any event, I wanted to let you know that the page created and edited yesterday/today was done so by me and not by a company for commercial purposes.
I also wanted to let you know my new account in case you had any additional issues or concerns regarding the page created.
Thank you!

I'm sorry to bother you, but I noticed your online. I'm posting at ITN, regarding the NY attack and someone posted the following, which I believe to be an extreme personal attack, it is unacceptable to call someone racist. Special:Diff/808129416 I've asked him to strike out and he refused. Please take care of it. Thanks.

Have to say that I disagree with your revdel over at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates, though I understand why you did it (it's certainly not "ordinary incivility"). I'd prefer that the attack, absolutely repugnant and nasty as it is, be redacted but in the edit history so that others can build an ANI case if a pattern of such incivility continues.

Hello All sources about Pınar deniz is Turkish. I translated from Turkish language. Sources are from official and news. What can i do? She has a page in IMDb.
Also the actress says in posta newspaper " I was born in 1993. But my id card is 1994". Turkish: Adana’da doğdum, Mardinliyim. Yakın zamana kadar 1994 doğumlu olduğumu zannediyordum ama Galatasaray-Manchester maçının oynandığı gün olan 4 Kasım 1993’te doğduğumu bu maç sayesinde, yeni öğrendim.

Hi Oshwah, I believe you have made a mistake by removing my edits to Patrick Brammall and I would very much dislike having to re-add them as I am not tech savvy and it took me awhile to add even what I did. To solve the problem though I would like to say that I did have a source (an australian newspaper) but I obviously did not add it correctly as the interface is not very user friendly. This is my source: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/tv-and-radio/canberras-patrick-brammall-joins-offspring-20140528-zrpvc.html Please re-add all my edits but put them down as my edits under my name if possible, if not then tell me how I can re-add them with my source, Thank you.

Sorry for what I did to the page. Those of us involved with the protection and restoration of his house get upset when we see the wrong picture of Tennent used. It's either that oil painting (wrong period dress) or the use of William Tennent's son also named William Tennent. From the President of the Willam Tennet House Association: "according to Wendy Wirsch, President of the William Tennent House Association and Historian of the Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church, the painting of who is believed to be William Tennent that is used on the Wikipedia website is incorrect. Wendy is acquainted with Anne Tennent Cecil of Spartanburg, SC, who owns the painting. Anne had the painting examined by art experts. The portrait is that of a man who married into the Tennent family". https://www.facebook.com/william.tennenthouse
As far as our research has taken us there is only ONE rendering of William Tennet Senior and it's a silhouette. It can be found at Princeton's special collections library, the Philadelphia Prespaterian Historical Society and in Mary Tennent's bio on her ancestor William Tennent. Please remove the oil and replace with the silhouette, thank you.

I see you are deleting my edits on Belgium windpark because of lacking references. I'm not logged in since I am at work right now, but I am Codiv and I noticed this page is totally outdated. I'm a professional offshore planner and you can for instance check on the 4coffshore.com database. So please restore my edits.

> Hello, I'm Oshwah. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one of your recent contributions — > the one you made with this edit to Hot wire barretter— because it did not appear constructive.
Of course you reverted it. But not because it wasn't constructive, but because you are not qualified to understand the subject.
My contribution was to point out that the "Electrolytic Detector" has absolutely nothing to do with the "Hot Wire Barretter".
And I even predicted that you would revert it (in the Talk section).
I'm a retired RF Enginer with a lifelong commitment to researching the history of early radio. I have accumulated an enormous collection of early books at my own expense.
For years I patiently contributed to Wickipedia, only to find that my contributions were reverted by pompous self-elected arseholes who had zero understanding of the subject matter, and zero interest in correcting the ludicrous errors in Wickipedia.
Whatever, this is a classic example of what is wrong with Wickipedia.

Hello Oshwah, I am replying in response to your restoration of content on the Melbourne Route 5 Tram page. What I did was create a seperate template for the Route map, and make some slight improvements to the route map. That is why it appears that a large amount of content was removed, I was just creating a template page with the same content, in order to make it easier to edit the template alone.
In the mean time, I will reverse your changes, and will be cautious to ensure that I provide a reason for deletion. Feel free to reply to me if you have a question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raleigh98 ( talk • contribs) 02:51, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello Oshwah:
You removed a link from the Psalms page referring to "A Guide to the Psalms of David" sold on Amazon. The book contains a modern heartfelt English translation of all 150 psalms, plus a detailed index (one of its kind) to each by purpose, theme, etc., Based on the following guidelines from the external link page. I believe the link is valid and can benefit Wikipedia readers by informing them of a resource not available anywhere else.
please reconsider
thanks so much
Steve

Hi Oshwah,
Earlier on today at 09:33 (UTC), I have reported one user of possible inappropriate use of their talkpage, details of my reasoning are found at the bottom of this revision, but the helperbot removed that thirty revisions later since they were already blocked (sockpuppetry) and I don't think no-one actually saw my report on it.

Osh - did you read my concern about that IP being a sock? I just promoted that article from AfC and put my NPR hat on to finish reviewing/expanding/checking refs when that disruptive IP showed up and refused to discuss anything. I'm thinking my work as an NPR (the G11, AfDs etc.) have made me a target. That IP is not a new user - they are either hiding a block, or hiding their identity so they do what they please but I have a strong suspicion of who it might be and they're stalking my TP. They aren't a new user - they knew exactly what they were doing. If I thought it was disruptive enough to file CU (and knew the process, repercussions, etc) I would. Like I said at the 3R/N, the geolocation appears to be where the suspected registered user resides. Question: if you had imposed a block on that IP address, would it have also blocked the registered user's IP, or does registering bypass such blocks? Atsme 📞 📧 02:06, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi. You asked why I nominated my own article for deletion. This was only to insure that there would be a discussion on whether the topic merited a standalone article rather than the other editor simply merging the article into the main Joe Arpaio article, and because I believed the topic was notable enough that there was no real chance that it would be deleted if there was a discussion. I wasn't nominating my own article because I wanted it deleted; I just wanted a discussion if the other editor was going to effectively delete the article by merging it. I think this is a very clearly notable topic; while the stub article I wrote isn't particularly good yet, if you look at the sources, you'll see the pardon raises some very notable legal issues that have garnered an immense amount of discussion in the political and legal worlds. Infamia ( talk) 08:34, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Just to catch you up a little bit on what's going on. The creator of this article Pardon of Joe Arpaio, Infamia, is currently a bit out of control. This first started about an hour ago when he created Draft:List of people pardoned by Donald Trump. I declined the article in the AfC process, for reasons listed on the draft page (basically WP:TOOSOON (a list is inherently more than one item). After this he launched a barrage of attacks on my talk page, and deleted comments by other editors trying to get him to calm down and to examine the reasoning behind the decline. I reverted all his comments, as they weren't constructive in any way. This prompted fellow reviewer Galobtter to leave a warning on Infamia's talk page, in response to which Infamia, basically said he didn't have to waste his time with the AfD process and proceeded to create the article. The article as it stands now has a lot of problems and needs to go through the AfD process, just seeing what needs to be done to re-nominate it.
Sorry if that was a mouthful. I've reviewed hundreds of AfC pages and dealt with many editors and never had one go this rogue before. Any advice would be great. Sulfurboy ( talk) 08:41, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, Oshwah. I'm glad you reached out to me. Might I ask you why you reverted back to a version of the article which contained no reference to Dominic Selwood's membership of the Freemasons and his active participation in Masonic events? The links I have provided show more than circumstantial evidence of his involvement in Freemasonry. Dr Selwood is a journalist and published author: it is not an incidental detail - and it should be noted in the main body of the article. Initially, I linked to an online document written by Dr Selwood (published by his old school apparently). It looks as if that school has its own Masonic Lodge for old members. When that document was taken off-line someone edited the wikipedia entry to remove reference to Dr Selwood being a Freemason: the source no longer 'existed' - the claim could no longer be substantiated. I asked a friend of mine to tweet the same document on Twitter - but shortly afterwards a complaint was made that this violated privacy rules - the friend's account was blocked. I then decided to make the wordpress blog with the same information - but with all sensitive personal information blocked out other than the fact that Dr Selwood was organising a Masonic meeting. But this new link also proved contentious on here since a blog is not considered an authoritative source . Subsequent Google searches reveal that Dr Selwood is slated to appear at Masonic conferences to talk on his personal impressions of the 300th Anniversary celebrations of Freemasonry which he participated at. He is an advertised speaker, the links are genuine, a simple search within those links will see his name appear on the list of speakers. At the very least, then, these salient facts should be permitted to stand in his biography. No value judgment is made here on Wikipedia about Dr Selwood being a Freemason. (On the wordpress blog I criticise those who are editing the wikipedia page to make no reference to Dr Selwood's Masonic connections but on Wikipedia I appreciate that neutrality is important and I simply want those details to be mentioned in the biography. They are not incidental details: the Freemasons are a hugely influential organisation and belonging to them should be in the public domain of an encyclopedia like Wikipedia: especially if such details are available online. I am, of course, more than happy to enter into discussion with yourself as mediator in order to resolve a fractious dispute that wastes everybody's time. Many thanks. 202.239.38.179 ( talk) 01:22, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Oshwah So I reached out to Eggishorn on the Dominic Selwood biography page with exactly the above. No reply. I'm not too surprised by that: those who are editing out my additions want to PREVENT the knowledge that Selwood is a Freemason from being public knowledge. If, as I suspect, I don't get any reply and that they will stonewall in silence in that hope that you will keep your editorial decision and keep that information from Selwood's Wikipedia page, can I hope that you will check the reliability of the sources yourself and make an arbitration that sees that information returned to his public biography? If you're not willing to do that can you tell me why you wouldn't be willing to do that? Many thanks. 159.122.131.153 ( talk) 16:57, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Would you consider ECP? I'm clearly to involved at this point, but I was looking to request escalation to ECP next. Was hoping it wouldn't push to full protection but there is a reddit thread actively encouraging users to make the disputed change. There is an AMA by EA scheduled for Wednesday now, so protection through at least the 16th is probably good. The game will be released on the 17th. -- ferret ( talk) 01:47, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Oshwah - I nominated the Arpaio article for AfD a few days ago - it had major issues (quotes that were character assassinations based on detractor opinions) and considering it's NPOV issues, I removed what I strongly believed to be noncompliant material. It was very poorly written and included information about unrelated events and had many other issues. I removed the most glaring problems and invited the editors who were involved to discuss before trying to add anything back. The article is subject to DS - American politics 2 (June 2015) All edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people - Discretionary sanctions - Remedy 1 of the American Politics case is rescinded. In its place, the following is adopted: standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Shouldn't there be a notice attached to the article edit view? How about on the TP - and what about notifying editors? It's hard to find all the stuff like the DS templates to remind editors the article is subject to DS. It was also a copy-paste from the BLP Joe Arpaio (a spin-off?), which created a potential plagiarism problem that has since been resolved. I'm just making you aware of my involvement since you were already called to the article before my time. Atsme 📞 📧 06:20, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah,
My addition to Baked Alaska was after Twitter ruled the 'entertainer' to be banned competently for beging an user that only distributes racisme as a of revenue.
Since his feed was a daily occupation(considering the volume and longevity), racism is a large part of the revenu generation for Baked Alaska.
Because of this I would define his occupation not only 'entertainer' but also 'racist'. I don't consider describing what people do for a living 'non-constructive' but factual (as per wiki spirit).
can you help me explain the fine line between (for example) describing Hitler's attributes , but it's not constructive about current people(who openly say they are)?

This page is not unambiguously promotional as the additional information included serves to provide context to the manner in which Digitization of Education is utilized, as "edutainment". The manner of application is central to the youth-based nature of initiative. Please also note that the inaugural periodical is pro-bono. The Cover is used as it is tied to Escalating US Dissention (though is in no way biased or partisan). Also, every other picture added in the past has been an issues (logo, picture of an interview, etc.) so this seemed to be the most palatable. That said, I am happy to delete items (select cities, etc.) which imply a "promotion-based" agenda.

Dear Oshwah,
The picture 松陰論道圖.jpg is a crop (a part) from this painting. Its Chinese name means “Discussing the Dao in the Shade of Pines”. The painting is printed in the Book 宋代小品繪畫(三)(Song dynasty paintings, vol.3). Author: 尹然 (Yin Ran). China. The People Fine Arts Publishing House. 40 pages. 2010. ISBN 8102039.
Beside, please see here, with information that:
From my point of view, three characters in the painting represent the three East Asian religions: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, in which the figure in the 松陰論道圖.jpg is a Confucianist in the Song dynasty’s costume. So that, use this picture to illustrate Trần Thái Tông (1218-1277, the king of DaiViet) is unreasonable. Khonghieugi123 ( talk) 17:10, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

The editing by the IP editor you warned isn’t really 3RR it’s homestly vandalism and content removal IMO. As per his first edit summary the only reason he removed the criticism is because he didn’t like it. The fact is that the criticism which was removed was from a RS and cited and sourced. Just because someone doesn’t like what a critic has to say doesn’t give them the right to remove it. Add to the fact that the editor has absolutely no previous edit history. I’m honestly trying to maintain order here and getting frustrated that my efforts to maintain an accurate and thorough article are being questioned.

Don't remove the contribution. Of the sources I removed one is a news article that doesn't support at all the text but seems a philippino Komiks article. http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/scitech/technology/535657/the-aswang-diaspora-why-philippine-lower-myths-continue-to-endure/story/
Other is just an opinion in a news article that doesn't seem an informed opinion about the subject but just cites "Anthropologists" whithout telling who this anthropologists are:
The wikipedia article seems to have copied these unsourced opinion word by word.
And the one I left says actually the opposite to what the part of the article I removed claims. It isn't clear he is an actual anthropologist as the text claims but just a documentary filmaker about the Aswang. Still it is the more reliable source of all provided.
https://www.aswangproject.com/aswang-in-capiz/
It would be better if dubious claims like this who use citations that actually don't support what they claim or are not autoritative sources are removed.

Fair enough. My initial intention was to remove the whole paragraph altogether but I have had problems with administrators in the past for removing whole paragraphs even if they were misleading. When I read that the only semi-valid (And it comes from a filmaker) citation said in fact the opposite (Even if only related to the claim that female rebels against the spanish were branded as aswang) I thought on using it as a quote for not removing the whole paragraph. I even keep the encomiendas theory even if I disagree with it. By the way I have a personal opinion about the subject. The Aswang (Particularly the Manananggal variation of the Aswang) is very similar to other local myths like the Penanggalan in Malaysia and the colonial rule cannot be blamed to the prevalence of similar myths in all the Asian south east but these seem to have been developed and shared between the native cultures. The paragraph could be redone to actually adress the citation like this:
"Modern investigation shows that the prevalence of the aswang myth in the Capiz region might be related to genetical diseases like the X-Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP) or Dystonia of Panay (Lubag)"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aswangproject.com/aswang-in-capiz/|title=The truth about the ASWANG in Capiz|last=Clark|first=Jordan|date=|website=|access-date=}}</ref>
I would remove altogether the rest of the citations and claims as they are not actually supported by reliable sources.

I took a great deal of time to write an accurate and definitive plot description of the film "Election" because the version that was previously posted contained many inaccuracies. I have seen the movie eight times and know the plot inside and out. I also went to Stanford with the director and screenplay writer of the film, Alexander Payne. I was quite surprised that you would remove my description of the plot because you felt that it wasn't "neutral." I'm not sure what you meant by that. I happen to think "Election" is an outstanding film, a modern day classic, but my description of the plot was meant to be nothing more than a faithful representation of what actually occurs in the movie. As I said, the previously posted plot description contained many inaccuracies, which is what led to my replacing it. I would appreciate your keeping my version of the plot in the Wikipedia entry. If there is any aspect of it that you believe not to be "neutral," please be specific as to what you're referring to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.151.133.177 ( talk) 07:57, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

I have repeatedly tried to engage him on the talk page, but he refuses. His own talk page(s) show similar issues with an uncooperative attitude. I'm looking for a resolution to what is basically a slow edit-war, but he won't engage... just keeps on reverting (basically WP:NOTHERE). Any advice? Is there a particular avenue I should follow? Is there anything you can do? Any advice and/or assistance would be appreciated. Cheers - theWOLFchild 03:02, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

I was working on the article Gukurahundi and another editor wrote or added the figure that "the consensus is that more than twenty thousand were killed" in a revision, citing a The Guardian article titled " New documents claim to prove Mugabe ordered Gukurahundi killings". I went to check the news article and found that it had a link under the statement "when more than 20,000 civilians were killed by Robert Mugabe’s feared Fifth Brigade" that pointed to apparently the source of the claim of the 20,000 figure. I clicked on it and found out that the link was broken. So I went to the internet archives to see if I managed to get it. After getting an "account suspended" notice I looked for an older capture, and I was able to find that the site was successfully archived, so I went through it. I failed to find a 20,000 dead figure; instead, I found that it said in page 27 under "Results -all areas", "Deaths: Confirmed dead number over 2 000: almost certain dead numbers between 3000 and 4 000: possible dead could be double this or more". In conclusion I think that the article erroneously claims that there were 20,000 deaths according to its linked information. I was wondering if when you have some time to spare you can verify if my conclusion is correct, because as it is a reliable source being cited for information added to Wikipedia, and in interest of the truth, I am planning in contacting The Guardian over the misleading claim.

While looking at the article on Philip Neri I noticed that there appeared to be some recent back and forth regarding material under the "Legacy - The Oratory" section. I have two questions. (1) would most of this be better served on the Oratory page? (which looks rather spare in some sections), and (2) since the sources cited are both over 100 years old, is this still current practice?

An editor attempted to remove a pair of comments made by other editors on your talk page, twice. Both times he was promptly and rightfully reverted by other watchful editors. However, he also attempted to leave a message at the same time, but that was removed in tbe reverts. That message should remain and be disposed of at your discretion. The message was;

New IP user, at this point only has a half-dozen edits, however all but one are to add a "cite" from a website called beautifullife.info which appears to be a user submission site. People send blog posts in advertising design related products. Submissions appear to be anonymous, as there is no author's name attached. There is very little info about the site itself. I don't know if this guy is just innocently adding a site he likes and thinks is a legit source, or if this is the beginning of some advert-spam. Either way, I think his additions will likely need to be dealt with in some form. Here's his contribs: Special:Contributions/86.58.52.10.

Hey there, thanks for your detailed close at ANI on my IPv6 /64 block. I'm nowhere near as familiar with IPv6 addressing, but it's basically my understanding that a /64 basically represents the same sort of endpoint as an individual IPv4 address, so effectively at any time all addresses within a /64 block will be the same end user, but the /64 block can be assigned dynamically to different users at different times in the same way that IPv4 addresses are. Does that make sense? Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 19:23, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Oshwah, I notice you've already rev/deleted some of this new user's edits for copyright violation.

Sorry for what I did to the page. Those of us involved with the protection and restoration of his house get upset when we see the wrong picture of Tennent used. It's either that oil painting (wrong period dress) or the use of William Tennent's son also named William Tennent. From the President of the Willam Tennet House Association: "according to Wendy Wirsch, President of the William Tennent House Association and Historian of the Neshaminy-Warwick Presbyterian Church, the painting of who is believed to be William Tennent that is used on the Wikipedia website is incorrect. Wendy is acquainted with Anne Tennent Cecil of Spartanburg, SC, who owns the painting. Anne had the painting examined by art experts. The portrait is that of a man who married into the Tennent family". https://www.facebook.com/william.tennenthouse
As far as our research has taken us there is only ONE rendering of William Tennet Senior and it's a silhouette. It can be found at Princeton's special collections library, the Philadelphia Prespaterian Historical Society and in Mary Tennent's bio on her ancestor William Tennent. Please remove the oil and replace with the silhouette, thank you.

Hi there,
I see you are deleting my edits on Belgium windpark because of lacking references. I'm not logged in since I am at work right now, but I am Codiv and I noticed this page is totally outdated. I'm a professional offshore planner and you can for instance check on the 4coffshore.com database. So please restore my edits. And I think it is rather stupid to delete updates if you do not have a clue that the update is wrong and it is rather easy to check the page is outdated.

Of course you reverted it. But not because it wasn't constructive, but because you are not qualified to understand the subject.
My contribution was to point out that the "Electrolytic Detector" has absolutely nothing to do with the "Hot Wire Barretter".
And I even predicted that you would revert it (in the Talk section).
I'm a retired RF Enginer with a lifelong commitment to researching the history of early radio. I have accumulated an enormous collection of early books at my own expense.
For years I patiently contributed to Wickipedia, only to find that my contributions were reverted by pompous self-elected arseholes who had zero understanding of the subject matter, and zero interest in correcting the ludicrous errors in Wickipedia.
Whatever, this is a classic example of what is wrong with Wickipedia.

Hello Oshwah, I am replying in response to your restoration of content on the Melbourne Route 5 Tram page. What I did was create a seperate template for the Route map, and make some slight improvements to the route map. That is why it appears that a large amount of content was removed, I was just creating a template page with the same content, in order to make it easier to edit the template alone.
In the mean time, I will reverse your changes, and will be cautious to ensure that I provide a reason for deletion. Feel free to reply to me if you have a question. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raleigh98 ( talk • contribs) 02:51, 3 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello Oshwah:
You removed a link from the Psalms page referring to "A Guide to the Psalms of David" sold on Amazon. The book contains a modern heartfelt English translation of all 150 psalms, plus a detailed index (one of its kind) to each by purpose, theme, etc., Based on the following guidelines from the external link page. I believe the link is valid and can benefit Wikipedia readers by informing them of a resource not available anywhere else.
please reconsider
thanks so much
Steve

Hi Oshwah,
Earlier on today at 09:33 (UTC), I have reported one user of possible inappropriate use of their talkpage, details of my reasoning are found at the bottom of this revision, but the helperbot removed that thirty revisions later since they were already blocked (sockpuppetry) and I don't think no-one actually saw my report on it.

Osh - did you read my concern about that IP being a sock? I just promoted that article from AfC and put my NPR hat on to finish reviewing/expanding/checking refs when that disruptive IP showed up and refused to discuss anything. I'm thinking my work as an NPR (the G11, AfDs etc.) have made me a target. That IP is not a new user - they are either hiding a block, or hiding their identity so they do what they please but I have a strong suspicion of who it might be and they're stalking my TP. They aren't a new user - they knew exactly what they were doing. If I thought it was disruptive enough to file CU (and knew the process, repercussions, etc) I would. Like I said at the 3R/N, the geolocation appears to be where the suspected registered user resides. Question: if you had imposed a block on that IP address, would it have also blocked the registered user's IP, or does registering bypass such blocks? Atsme 📞 📧 02:06, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi. You asked why I nominated my own article for deletion. This was only to insure that there would be a discussion on whether the topic merited a standalone article rather than the other editor simply merging the article into the main Joe Arpaio article, and because I believed the topic was notable enough that there was no real chance that it would be deleted if there was a discussion. I wasn't nominating my own article because I wanted it deleted; I just wanted a discussion if the other editor was going to effectively delete the article by merging it. I think this is a very clearly notable topic; while the stub article I wrote isn't particularly good yet, if you look at the sources, you'll see the pardon raises some very notable legal issues that have garnered an immense amount of discussion in the political and legal worlds. Infamia ( talk) 08:34, 13 November 2017 (UTC)
Just to catch you up a little bit on what's going on. The creator of this article Pardon of Joe Arpaio, Infamia, is currently a bit out of control. This first started about an hour ago when he created Draft:List of people pardoned by Donald Trump. I declined the article in the AfC process, for reasons listed on the draft page (basically WP:TOOSOON (a list is inherently more than one item). After this he launched a barrage of attacks on my talk page, and deleted comments by other editors trying to get him to calm down and to examine the reasoning behind the decline. I reverted all his comments, as they weren't constructive in any way. This prompted fellow reviewer Galobtter to leave a warning on Infamia's talk page, in response to which Infamia, basically said he didn't have to waste his time with the AfD process and proceeded to create the article. The article as it stands now has a lot of problems and needs to go through the AfD process, just seeing what needs to be done to re-nominate it.
Sorry if that was a mouthful. I've reviewed hundreds of AfC pages and dealt with many editors and never had one go this rogue before. Any advice would be great. Sulfurboy ( talk) 08:41, 13 November 2017 (UTC)

Thanks for your message, Oshwah. I'm glad you reached out to me. Might I ask you why you reverted back to a version of the article which contained no reference to Dominic Selwood's membership of the Freemasons and his active participation in Masonic events? The links I have provided show more than circumstantial evidence of his involvement in Freemasonry. Dr Selwood is a journalist and published author: it is not an incidental detail - and it should be noted in the main body of the article. Initially, I linked to an online document written by Dr Selwood (published by his old school apparently). It looks as if that school has its own Masonic Lodge for old members. When that document was taken off-line someone edited the wikipedia entry to remove reference to Dr Selwood being a Freemason: the source no longer 'existed' - the claim could no longer be substantiated. I asked a friend of mine to tweet the same document on Twitter - but shortly afterwards a complaint was made that this violated privacy rules - the friend's account was blocked. I then decided to make the wordpress blog with the same information - but with all sensitive personal information blocked out other than the fact that Dr Selwood was organising a Masonic meeting. But this new link also proved contentious on here since a blog is not considered an authoritative source . Subsequent Google searches reveal that Dr Selwood is slated to appear at Masonic conferences to talk on his personal impressions of the 300th Anniversary celebrations of Freemasonry which he participated at. He is an advertised speaker, the links are genuine, a simple search within those links will see his name appear on the list of speakers. At the very least, then, these salient facts should be permitted to stand in his biography. No value judgment is made here on Wikipedia about Dr Selwood being a Freemason. (On the wordpress blog I criticise those who are editing the wikipedia page to make no reference to Dr Selwood's Masonic connections but on Wikipedia I appreciate that neutrality is important and I simply want those details to be mentioned in the biography. They are not incidental details: the Freemasons are a hugely influential organisation and belonging to them should be in the public domain of an encyclopedia like Wikipedia: especially if such details are available online. I am, of course, more than happy to enter into discussion with yourself as mediator in order to resolve a fractious dispute that wastes everybody's time. Many thanks. 202.239.38.179 ( talk) 01:22, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Oshwah - I nominated the Arpaio article for AfD a few days ago - it had major issues (quotes that were character assassinations based on detractor opinions) and considering it's NPOV issues, I removed what I strongly believed to be noncompliant material. It was very poorly written and included information about unrelated events and had many other issues. I removed the most glaring problems and invited the editors who were involved to discuss before trying to add anything back. The article is subject to DS - American politics 2 (June 2015) All edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people - Discretionary sanctions - Remedy 1 of the American Politics case is rescinded. In its place, the following is adopted: standard discretionary sanctions are authorized for all edits about, and all pages related to post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Shouldn't there be a notice attached to the article edit view? How about on the TP - and what about notifying editors? It's hard to find all the stuff like the DS templates to remind editors the article is subject to DS. It was also a copy-paste from the BLP Joe Arpaio (a spin-off?), which created a potential plagiarism problem that has since been resolved. I'm just making you aware of my involvement since you were already called to the article before my time. Atsme 📞 📧 06:20, 14 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah So you've semi-blocked editing on the Dominic Selwood article because? At the very least, with the references I supplied, 'Masonic Conferences' should be explicitly listed as the kinds of meetings Selwood talks at. I cannot make that change presently. Perhaps you'd be good enough to do so - and perhaps give me a personal reply? Oh, and if you could just clarify that you have had no links with Freemasonry yourself - nor been contacted by those concerned? Thanks. 202.239.38.179 ( talk) 16:55, 15 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello :) I think the animation is quite useful. Orientability is often defined in mathematics lectures by considering a frame of reference that becomes indistinguishable from its mirror image when moved around the space it is in and I thought the crab was a good illustration of this.

Hello Oshwah, I'm Maximilian Mizerski. I see you reported me for vandalism. I removed the y after display because for some reason, there was an error when playing the hymn. It would say that there were no lyrics, even though I recently added lyrics to Bogurodzica in both Polish and English. I was going to edit it eimmediately after and put back the y in display. You removed all of my contribution on that page which I had to put back. I put the national anthems there in the first place.

Hi Oshwah,
My addition to Baked Alaska was after Twitter ruled the 'entertainer' to be banned competently for beging an user that only distributes racisme as a of revenue.
Since his feed was a daily occupation(considering the volume and longevity), racism is a large part of the revenu generation for Baked Alaska.
Because of this I would define his occupation not only 'entertainer' but also 'racist'. I don't consider describing what people do for a living 'non-constructive' but factual (as per wiki spirit).
can you help me explain the fine line between (for example) describing Hitler's attributes , but it's not constructive about current people(who openly say they are)?

This page is not unambiguously promotional as the additional information included serves to provide context to the manner in which Digitization of Education is utilized, as "edutainment". The manner of application is central to the youth-based nature of initiative. Please also note that the inaugural periodical is pro-bono. The Cover is used as it is tied to Escalating US Dissention (though is in no way biased or partisan). Also, every other picture added in the past has been an issues (logo, picture of an interview, etc.) so this seemed to be the most palatable.

Dear Oshwah,
The picture 松陰論道圖.jpg is a crop (a part) from this painting. Its Chinese name means “Discussing the Dao in the Shade of Pines”. The painting is printed in the Book 宋代小品繪畫(三)(Song dynasty paintings, vol.3). Author: 尹然 (Yin Ran). China. The People Fine Arts Publishing House. 40 pages. 2010. ISBN 8102039.
Beside, please see here, with information that:
From my point of view, three characters in the painting represent the three East Asian religions: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism, in which the figure in the 松陰論道圖.jpg is a Confucianist in the Song dynasty’s costume. So that, use this picture to illustrate Trần Thái Tông (1218-1277, the king of DaiViet) is unreasonable. Khonghieugi123 ( talk) 17:10, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

The editing by the IP editor you warned isn’t really 3RR it’s homestly vandalism and content removal IMO. As per his first edit summary the only reason he removed the criticism is because he didn’t like it. The fact is that the criticism which was removed was from a RS and cited and sourced. Just because someone doesn’t like what a critic has to say doesn’t give them the right to remove it. Add to the fact that the editor has absolutely no previous edit history. I’m honestly trying to maintain order here and getting frustrated that my efforts to maintain an accurate and thorough article are being questioned.

Don't remove the contribution. Of the sources I removed one is a news article that doesn't support at all the text but seems a philippino Komiks article. http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/scitech/technology/535657/the-aswang-diaspora-why-philippine-lower-myths-continue-to-endure/story/
Other is just an opinion in a news article that doesn't seem an informed opinion about the subject but just cites "Anthropologists" whithout telling who this anthropologists are:
The wikipedia article seems to have copied these unsourced opinion word by word.
And the one I left says actually the opposite to what the part of the article I removed claims. It isn't clear he is an actual anthropologist as the text claims but just a documentary filmaker about the Aswang. Still it is the more reliable source of all provided.
https://www.aswangproject.com/aswang-in-capiz/
It would be better if dubious claims like this who use citations that actually don't support what they claim or are not autoritative sources are removed.
Unless you point me out a reason to not removing them I'm reverting your edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.43.54.70 ( talk) 06:44, 18 November 2017 (UTC)
Fair enough. My initial intention was to remove the whole paragraph altogether but I have had problems with administrators in the past for removing whole paragraphs even if they were misleading. When I read that the only semi-valid (And it comes from a filmaker) citation said in fact the opposite (Even if only related to the claim that female rebels against the spanish were branded as aswang) I thought on using it as a quote for not removing the whole paragraph. I even keep the encomiendas theory even if I disagree with it. By the way I have a personal opinion about the subject. The Aswang (Particularly the Manananggal variation of the Aswang) is very similar to other local myths like the Penanggalan in Malaysia and the colonial rule cannot be blamed to the prevalence of similar myths in all the Asian south east but these seem to have been developed and shared between the native cultures. The paragraph could be redone to actually adress the citation like this:
"Modern investigation shows that the prevalence of the aswang myth in the Capiz region might be related to genetical diseases like the X-Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism (XDP) or Dystonia of Panay (Lubag)"<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.aswangproject.com/aswang-in-capiz/|title=The truth about the ASWANG in Capiz|last=Clark|first=Jordan|date=|website=|access-date=}}</ref>
I would remove altogether the rest of the citations and claims as they are not actually supported by reliable sources.
Hey, about the Arrow episodes, I just thought that the episode summary could've been more informative, maybe include adding the flashbacks and give a more detailed summary.

I took a great deal of time to write an accurate and definitive plot description of the film "Election" because the version that was previously posted contained many inaccuracies. I have seen the movie eight times and know the plot inside and out. I also went to Stanford with the director and screenplay writer of the film, Alexander Payne. I was quite surprised that you would remove my description of the plot because you felt that it wasn't "neutral." I'm not sure what you meant by that. I happen to think "Election" is an outstanding film, a modern day classic, but my description of the plot was meant to be nothing more than a faithful representation of what actually occurs in the movie. As I said, the previously posted plot description contained many inaccuracies, which is what led to my replacing it. I would appreciate your keeping my version of the plot in the Wikipedia entry. If there is any aspect of it that you believe not to be "neutral," please be specific as to what you're referring to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.151.133.177 ( talk) 07:57, 18 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi Oshwah, I hadn't been on WP for quite some time (so a little rusty), but recently have popped in to tinker with some pages. I've come across an issue and was seeking some advice. (I recall seeking assistance from you in the past and you were quite helpful). If you have look at Talk:List of diagnoses from House (TV series), it's all spelled out there. Basically, an ip user (though he also has an active registered account as well) has been making the same revert over and over, 8 times and counting, over the past few months. I have repeatedly tried to engage him on the talk page, but he refuses. His own talk page(s) show similar issues with an uncooperative attitude. I'm looking for a resolution to what is basically a slow edit-war, but he won't engage... just keeps on reverting (basically WP:NOTHERE). Any advice? Is there a particular avenue I should follow? Is there anything you can do? Any advice and/or assistance would be appreciated. Cheers - theWOLFchild 03:02, 19 November 2017 (UTC)

I was working on the article Gukurahundi and another editor wrote or added the figure that "the consensus is that more than twenty thousand were killed" in a revision, citing a The Guardian article titled " New documents claim to prove Mugabe ordered Gukurahundi killings". I went to check the news article and found that it had a link under the statement "when more than 20,000 civilians were killed by Robert Mugabe’s feared Fifth Brigade" that pointed to apparently the source of the claim of the 20,000 figure. I clicked on it and found out that the link was broken. So I went to the internet archives to see if I managed to get it. After getting an "account suspended" notice I looked for an older capture, and I was able to find that the site was successfully archived, so I went through it. I failed to find a 20,000 dead figure; instead, I found that it said in page 27 under "Results -all areas", "Deaths: Confirmed dead number over 2 000: almost certain dead numbers between 3000 and 4 000: possible dead could be double this or more". In conclusion I think that the article erroneously claims that there were 20,000 deaths according to its linked information. I was wondering if when you have some time to spare you can verify if my conclusion is correct, because as it is a reliable source being cited for information added to Wikipedia, and in interest of the truth, I am planning in contacting The Guardian over the misleading claim.

While looking at the article on Philip Neri I noticed that there appeared to be some recent back and forth regarding material under the "Legacy - The Oratory" section. I have two questions.

Hello Oshwah, Myself Dr. A.P.S.Chhabra, I made a small addition to article "wart" as it seemed to be necessary in the treatment of warts. Can u add that content again and if any clarification is required pls tell.

New IP user, at this point only has a half-dozen edits, however all but one are to add a "cite" from a website called beautifullife.info which appears to be a user submission site. People send blog posts in advertising design related products. Submissions appear to be anonymous, as there is no author's name attached. There is very little info about the site itself. I don't know if this guy is just innocently adding a site he likes and thinks is a legit source, or if this is the beginning of some advert-spam. Either way, I think his additions will likely need to be dealt with in some form. Here's his contribs: Special:Contributions/86.58.52.10. Maybe you could also let me know the best way to deal with this if I come across a similar situation in the future. Thanks - theWOLFchild 14:52, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Look who's popped in and reverted, yet again, despite all your final warnings and my cont'd effort to engage (I tried his talk page again last night). I believe this is revert number 11, and again, no reply on the article talk. - theWOLFchild 15:04, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi there,
Apologies if I'm doing anything wrong here.
I can not understand why I can't put an external link to the page which describer all about a location Ella Sri Lanka.
The visitella.com does not provide any paid services, but a information website which covers everything about Ella, Sri Lanka.
So do you think adding that as an external link is violating the wikipedia guidelines?
I'm new to wikipedia, so appreciate your guidence!
Thanks in advance! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishankasampath ( talk • contribs) 17:08, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Oshwah,
Thanks for you reply. Yes, just checked Wikivoyage and found a page about Ella.
Looks like thats where I should add more details.
Thanks for the guidance! Appreciate lot! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishankasampath ( talk • contribs) 17:33, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Hey there, thanks for your detailed close at ANI on my IPv6 /64 block. I'm nowhere near as familiar with IPv6 addressing, but it's basically my understanding that a /64 basically represents the same sort of endpoint as an individual IPv4 address, so effectively at any time all addresses within a /64 block will be the same end user, but the /64 block can be assigned dynamically to different users at different times in the same way that IPv4 addresses are. Does that make sense? Ivanvector ( Talk/ Edits) 19:23, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
Hi Oshwah, I notice you've already rev/deleted some of this new user's edits for copyright violation. My concern is that everything they've added may be similarly unacceptable, but rather than answering my questions they're just messing around with an article heading. The sources appear to be People or Time magazine articles from the 90s, and I don't know if they easily show up in Google searches. Any light you can shed would be great.

I would like you to monitor the activity on this website:
/info/en/?search=Talk:Adolf_Hitler#Extended-confirmed-protected_edit_request_on_18_November_2017
My request for addition of 2 paragraphs on the Adolph Hitler main page has been met by criticism from people who are closed minded amateurs. They control the webpage, they are unfamiliar with quality books, they are all about recent writings, triteness, and sarcasm. I added a request to join the editing team, and I'm sure they will have something to say about that, too. I would like to know who they are (meaning qualifications, academic background, & present employment). Is that possible? Thanks for your interest. You can reach me at the following email address: [REDACTED - Oshwah]

Primefac, RoySmith please explain to Oshwah why Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Roy_Moore_sexual_abuse_allegations should not be prematurely closed - this is getting to be ridiculous. MelanieN, Drmies - it appears Volunteer Marek has started bludgeoning editors who voted Delete, and I'm seeing growing concern among POV warriors who refuse to let that AfD run its course. We clearly have socks who have participated to add to the KEEP iVotes, and I'm not sure why Oshwah decided to close it, but please, something has to be done...I've never seen anything like this throughout my entire time as an editor. I've already had to reverse a NAC soon after it was reopened. This AfD may also be a good place for CU to weed out some socks. Atsme 📞 📧 14:00, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

Hi again Oshwah. Another question about usernames, etc. User:GlasgowGladiators appears to be working on a draft on their user page about a wheelchair football team named Glasgow Gladiator and their username appears to be a violation of WP:ORGNAME. I've posted some things on their user talk about usernames, COI editing, and userpage drafts, but I'm not sure they understand such the information in those posts. They appear to be a new SPA whose only edits are related to this draft. They seem to also be having difficulty with image licensing and have uploaded files to Commons which have been deleted or will soon be deleted as copyvios. Anyway, I've suggested the user move this content to their sandbox or another user subpage, but there's been no response. Any suggestions on how to proceed here? -- Marchjuly ( talk) 01:22, 28 November 2017 (UTC)

You recently undeleted a LONG ago post from a troll at the ref desks, here. While I'm not really concerned about whether or not such posts are or are not rev-deleted, is there any reason why an 18-month old post from a one-off IP address with no other history needed modification? Unless there is some other history here, it seems like a waste of time and resources to spend a second on that. Just curious. -- Jayron 32 17:25, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
