ANI Correct PlaceHi So I ended up with my complaint in the wrong place. Can you help me direct it to the correct place. There are more than 10 top Canadian media sources on my subject Shannon_T._Boodram - and it is very clear the user nominated AFD without even looking at the sources. A basic knowledge of Canadian Media would tell you articles about the subject in MacLeans, Metro, contribution to TVO, and hosting on Rogers TV, to name a few would nearly establish notability on their own.

Language and Ethnicity of BangaloreLanguage of Bangalore is Kannada from centuries. who gave the right to wikipedia to change that ....Don't play with culture and Language of Kannadigas...We are very emotional towards our language...Every big city have numerous languages in the homes of residents where as there will be only one language as spoken language to communicate with each others. That doesn't mean you should list all languages as spoken language. Same with Ethnicity... Bangalore is and was always a kannada city founded by a kannada ruler. How it is possible to declare Bangalore as Tamil ethnic city. This is a grave mistake against history.

"Boss Avery," the character in question, is not one of the show's main characters, but the user of IPs keeps on putting this into the opening as such. Even as shown in the following link, Boss Avery isn't a main character List of American Dad! charactersl; he's a supporting. The IP also keeps wanting to describe Stan as "lovable", which is quite odd considering Stan's regular violence on the program, without at least supporting this with a source.

openmusic pagehello, I noticed a malicious anonymous edit on the OpenMusic page (aggressively stating a "hijacking" of another software) and I tried to get things objective and serene by writing a very detailed history of the generations of composition software at ircam and the way they have influenced each other (PatchWork had some influence on OpenMusic, which created new ideas and influenced in turn PWGL which is a descendent of PatchWork, so there's no point in diffusing hatred, all these are great musical softwares) However this detailed history was deleted because it was perceived as promotional. So in the last version, I just removed the malevolent and aggressive edit, as well as the promotional material for PWGL that had maliciously been introduced by the same anonymous person in the OpenMusic entry. So the page is minimal, but it is objective and free from aggressive and vicious inclusions. best Gerard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theropode ( talk • contribs) 00:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC) Requesting to block Jenniepierce567Hi Administrator Barek.

Gunfighters for HireI apologize for any inconsistent entries I made earlier, but I am a little confused and need some advice. I am the media contact and web master for Gunfighters for Hire, a CA registered non-profit 501(c)(4) organization in Pioneertown. In the article regarding Pioneertown, I had inserted the name of our group and a link to our official website: www.gunfightersforhire.org. As we are one of the original groups that have performed there and our mission is to raise money and donate to other non-profit organizations, I had thought the entries would have been allowed. I think I may have mis-understood the policy. Having said this, would it not be important to include our organization as this is the primary location of our performances and that visitors come to Pioneertown from around the world. This is verifiable through a number of sources including The Hi-Desert Star newspaper of Yucca Valley, the Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, KMIR TV of Palm Desert and KESQ TV of Palm Springs, to name a few. Is our organization eligible to have its own entry in Wikipedia? Also none of our members are paid or receive compensation for performing at Pioneertown. Thank you.

That maybe true.. yet I have to wonder then why you choose/chose to remove a specific link I added (and that too in the appropriate section labeled FICTION, yet you saw it fit to leave the "other stuff" intact) I did visit the Technological Singularity wiki page again, and now see that the entire FICTION link has been removed? (or is it just not showing for me for some reason) But if the entire section has been removed, I'm again puzzled at who/what took that decision. Fiction on technological Singularity... particularly hard science (v/s scifi) is much needed as a catalyst - a way to bring these high profile concepts (Technologicla Singularity, transhumanism, etc...) to lay people. Memories with Maya the book, attempts to do just that, as do the other books that were listed under the Fiction Subheading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.205.166.200 ( talk) 19:50, 1 May 2013 (UTC) Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.205.166.200 ( talk) 19:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Jim GoadHey, I am the one who has been editing Jim Goad's page, my apologies. I would have tried to pursue an alternate route, but i am still learning the editing process and it became very unclear. The point I was trying to achieve with my edits, which was more than being immature, is that this page reads like a PR release. Huge, important details of his life are glossed over in the entry even though they are included in the sources linked. These details do not portray him in a good light. Yet, when it comes to his writing style there is nothing but great quotes (and the links which say more than the Wikipedia page addresses). As a longtime reader this page offended me.

Invitation to look at edits on IQ reference chartI see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page. I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk, how I edit) 20:32, 28 May 2013 (UTC) RfCWhat was the result of the Centralia mine fire RfC?

The link that has been on wikipedia for a long time was checkrestitution.com, which I recently streamlined and changed to protectcheckwriters.com. Private DA check collection companies are a horrible trick on consumers, who are fooled into believing they are going to be prosecuted if they don't take a "diversion class" that is offered only as an excuse to add on up to $235 in a class fee (in addition to other fees.) The wikipedia page seems to have been put together by companies advocating these programs, and by me, advocating for the consumer. This is a neglected area, probably b/c I do not deny wanting to represent victims of these scams, but if you look on the web, you'll see that I have the only site that provides any consumer info. The other sites are simply DA sites supporting these programs. (And most of those sites are maintained by the two major companies that run DA check collection businesses, look for DA sites with either a checkprogram.com, or hotchecks.com address.) It is not my fault that no one else with a web presence is standing up for consumers on this issue, but the fact remains that there is no one in the country who has as much information as I have about these business, other than someone who works for them. (Check out the news articles on my website. I am quoted in almost all of them, not b/c I'm smarter than anyone else, but b/c I happen to have developed a real expertise in this area.) By the way, I talk to consumers without charge, and have provided information to hundreds of restitution program victims without ever filing a case or receiving any compensation. Any while your editing, why don't you take out the entire paragraph devoted to explaining the vacated jury verdict in a case in which the defendant got temporarily lucky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.125.108.31 ( talk) 03:23, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

StalkingYou cannot have a section under stalking that covers Gang Stalking as simply a delusion of mental disturbed individuals as it is now. This is a real phenomenon on the rise and the mentioned section sites information that is 20 years old for a phenomenon that is only coming to climax in the past several years. There are reports from organizations like Fox News which are harder to find now due to large gang stalking groups scrubbing the info. Either way it is not right to cover Gang Stalking at all if it is simply going to be passed off as a mental condition. This is false and if there is an argument on how to cover it there should be NOTHING listed until it is sorted out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nakedwelsh ( talk • contribs) 18:24, 17 June 2013 (UTC)
Fox sourceI will post my article here then first. You mention it is not backed by a reputable source. Fox News last time I checked qualifies as this. Are you saying Fox News is not a reliable source? Or further the police officer they interviewed? Your actions make a mockery of Wikipedia for credible information if you censor valid and backed posts with baseless accusations. Here is my article please review for your records:
A January 2011 report on a Fox News affiliate covered a local man who was "Gang Stalked" or "Community Stalked" by a large number of people in his geographical area. Reportedly eventually leading to him having to sell his house and move locations due to the illegal pressures of the group. [1] A police officer in the report commented that while Gang Stalking has been around for a long time it is becoming much more prevalent due to the rise of technology and that groups will use to conduct these illegal activities.

Link removal on three pagesHello Barek, Why were the links inserted inappropriate for Wikipedia? They follow all of the Wikipedia guidelines, and they add value to the articles. You seem to have removed the links, but left the content that i added? If you feel very strongly about removing my links, i'd like the ocntent I added to those pages removed as well. The Online_casino page was asking for "additional citations for verification", so this is basically what I did.

Re: BarbecueIt cannot be disputed that the links that I provided, even though they were opinions, show that the spelling is 'disputed,' after all, what else is a dispute, if not a difference of opinion? I also pointed to a later reference in the original entry, which shows that the Oxford English Dictionary states that barbecue is "often misspelled as barbeque" I accept SudoGhost's objection to my first edit, but do you not agree that this was a fair compromise?

RE: Bad Check RestitutionBarek - I'n not sure what the problem is. For several years, I had a link in this article to my web page, which provided consumer information that was too lengthy for the article and is not available anywhere else. When I changed the link to a revised web page about a month ago, you removed the link as inappropriate. The article contains a somewhat lengthy description of a vacated trial verdict in a case that has been going on for 12 years. I made revisions to provide an objective description of the litigation landscape in this area. You removed my revisions but allowed a 4-paragraph entry about a temporary victory by a defendant which was rendered moot when the verdict was vacated. The article contains a footnote reference, "NSF Fees", that is a link to a completely uninformative add for collection agencies. Please let me know the problem. As the article now stands, it present a highly inaccurate picture of the litigation in this area.

Re: bad check restitutionBarek - Thanks for the response. I'll try to figure out what you're talking about and revise accordingly. I still don't understand why you are allowing the "NSF Fees" link, which is nothing but an ad., and why you are willing to include the vacated jury verdict, which is nothing but a defendant saying, "I had a one good day in twelve years, but the judge erased it." I also don't know how to get free links to judicial decisions. I have to pay for mine, or get them from PACER which is a pay site that is not feasible for someone who just wants to look at on case.

Hi Barek, given these three policy statements -- 1. all hidden-HTML-comments, no matter how terse, are Bad(tm) -- always use the talk-page 2. if the edit-war situation warrants, a single neutral "check talk-page before editing" hidden-HTML-comment is okay 3. too many hidden-HTML-comments constitutes clutter, but one or two brief (non-generic-template) hidden-HTML-comments are okay What is the Official Wikipedia policy, if any?

Northwest Registered Agent linksHi Barek, This is Northwest Registered Agent LLC. I got an email from a Wikipedia user about you. We have a lot of free legal forms that law firms and clients use. As such, they have gotten a lot of mentions on Wikipedia over the years. We don't really understand how this works, but it appears that a competitor of ours from Carson City Nevada, based on that IP address went around and tried to get mentions of ours off of Wikipedia and then tried to put them all back, and now you're involved? I'm looking at some of these talk pages and it appears that people think it's advertising. The forms aren't for sale, so how is it advertising? I'm looking at the 501c3 page. We get a LOT of nonprofit associations and organizations that use our articles.

World TomorrowThe producers of the show changed the title card from "The World Tomorrow" to simply "The Julian Assange Show" in lieu of a lawsuit for infringement filed by The World Tomorrow Evangelistic Association of Sevierville Tennessee. Although promos ran initially in many RT markets under their planned program name of "The World Tomorrow", the title was changed just prior to the first episode airing to "The Julian Assange Show". Therefore, the current Wikipedia article is once again reflecting erroneous and false information with your re-edit because the program never aired anywhere - in any market - as "The World Tomorrow", or "World Tomorrow". All 26 episodes aired in every market under the title card "The Julian Assange Show".

major update and rearrangementBarek, I hope you are still watching over us at Viking River Cruises--you have been so helpful in the past.

About updating the page.Hi, this is AhnLabKorea, I read your opinion about the edit I made on the 'AhnLab Inc'page. As a big supporter of Wikipedia, I never meant to abuse soapbox or promotion regulation. However, I don't see any soapbox contents in the page, while other companies have their products and services in detail, awards and other things in their Wiki pages. I just want to update all things. We have a lot of changes in our product and other things, and the number of employee is even wrong. Please let me know exactly what part I violated, then I'll make the change. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AhnLabKorea ( talk • contribs) 02:29, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
About Company Pages.Sir i feel i have reached a deadlock with an anonymous editor on Voipfone (please see my talk page) and believe that administrative intervention is required. I have also contacted the company in question about the use of their copyrighted material and they are happy for it to be used by wikipedia, but only if it is re written from a neutral point of view (which is what i originally did) and they have asked if they can add the content that i re wrote to the page themselves but i am unsure of the correct procedure.

can you protect the page again, same editor edit warring againYou previously protected the page Tribune Entertainment. The same editor is back trying to do the same edits that caused the problem before. I have posted at the wikiproject for businesses asking for more opinions, hoping to get more people involved. Anyway, since two editors have reverted him in the past and discussed this in detail on the talk page, can you tell him to stop edit warring the same thing until he finds at least one reliable source that says what he claims, or finds someone who actually agree with him? Or just protect the proper version of the article until more input can be found? Dream Focus 20:14, 18 October 2013 (UTC)
(update: traditionally-error-92 but actually-error-50), Comment bot edits from IPs, after clicking SavePage whilst editing meta.wikimedia.orgGreetings, Barek -- sorry to bother you. I'm trying to add my name to a member-list over here, with some comments. [7] This action has been automatically identified as harmful, and therefore disallowed. If you believe your action was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do. A brief description of the abuse rule which your action matched is: Comment bot edits from IPs As you can see, there are already some IPs in the member-list, from mid-2012. Googling for the error message suggests it was added in August 2012 by User:Herbythyme , who has since retired. The rule is also mentioned by User:%C3%89rico_J%C3%BAnior_Wouters on their test-subpage. [8] (As an aside, I'm interested in how rule#92 is implemented, under the hood, because I'm trying to convince a bot-master their hour-and-hours-later reversion-with-warning would be *way* less WP:BITE if it could be included as part of the captcha process. Do you have such knowledge, of the innards of AbuseFilters, or know who I should ask? But that's not my main question.) Can you help me get my edits into the page, and preferably, remove the rule-block that causes error 92, so that I will be able to respond if anyone should reply to my commentary? If not, because en.wiki admin-bit does not transfer to meta.wiki rights, or because you are too busy, or whatever, can you please suggest the name of an admin with the necessary permbits and leisure-time?

Thanks for protecting the page. School staff make both regular and frequent attempts to whitewash the article and remove a controversy in it, everything from clumsy attempts, just deleting the material, to sneaky attempts, such as making many smaller edits, each time adding something else while removing the controversy piece by piece. The article was automatically added to my watchlist when I reverted one of the clumsy attempts some months ago, and has stayed on my watchlist since then, with me making reverts that are about as frequent and regular as the whitewashing attempts. Not because I personally care about the school or the controversy (or anything else in that part of the world, for that matter, since I live in Europe...), but because I feel that someone should do it, and noone seems interested in taking over the "job".

A favor to askAs per this, I tidied up the introduction and made the wording more neutral. I know that it's a minor thing, but I believe that it's important to hold all articles to the same standard, regardless of their importance. Anyway, my changes were reverted by this guy (the one who added most of the fluff and "admiration" slant in the article in the first place). I changed it back but I have no doubts that it won't last. I feel that my revision is more concise and generally more appropriate for an encyclopedia. I saw your note that you're going to be busy in the real world and less responsive on Wikipedia, but could you possibly keep an eye on it and the user in question? The way that they reverted the changes so quickly furthers my idea that they consider the article "theirs", and prune it as such. I wiki-retired a long time ago and no longer have the energy or time to fight these sorts of things, and I don't want to come across as asking you to push my own personal agenda, but I feel that "guarding" an article in such a way is ultimately a very bad thing. I understand completely if you don't think it's important or that I have grounds to be concerned, but I would appreciate it if you could at least give the situation a quick perusal. I've been gone so long that I don't even remember the standard procedure for these sorts of things, so I wouldn't even know where to begin with it. -- 184.166.113.34 ( talk) 04:39, 20 December 2013 (UTC) Ripple network XRP is a scamcoinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ripple_%28payment_protocol%29#Scamcoin_premined here i wrote what it means.

edit to ebay's page about the removal of the Zimmerman paintingHi Barek. I'm confused about your removal of my additional section to ebay's controversy page about their removal of the Zimmerman piece. Can you please suggest an edit so that I can post it as I think it is highly relevant and contains all required references. I have pasted it below. Thanks In December 2013, on the same day that George Zimmerman’s painting raked in over $100,000 on eBay, [3] artist Micheal D’Antuono was told by the same online auction company that his artistic interpretation of the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin confrontation titled “A Tale Of Two Hoodies” violated eBay’s Hateful or Discriminatory policy and was removed from the website. [4] In an email D’Antuono provided to Raw Story [5], eBay told the artist that “[i]tems promoting or glorifying hatred, violence, or racial or religious intolerance aren’t allowed. Items that promote organizations with these views are also prohibited.” And they explained that “[t]he painting you listed appears to contain images or icons associated with the KKK which are not allowed to be listed on our site as they represent an organization that glorifies hate and violence.” As at the time of writing, the painting “A Tale Of Two Hoodies” had been relisted on artFido [6], with D'Antuono promising to donate 50% of the proceeds of the sale to the Trayvon Martin Foundation.

"Boss Avery," the character in question, is not one of the show's main characters, but the user of IPs keeps on putting this into the opening as such. Even as shown in the following link, Boss Avery isn't a main character List of American Dad! charactersl; he's a supporting. The IP also keeps wanting to describe Stan as "lovable", which is quite odd considering Stan's regular violence on the program, without at least supporting this with a source.

openmusic pagehello, I noticed a malicious anonymous edit on the OpenMusic page (aggressively stating a "hijacking" of another software) and I tried to get things objective and serene by writing a very detailed history of the generations of composition software at ircam and the way they have influenced each other (PatchWork had some influence on OpenMusic, which created new ideas and influenced in turn PWGL which is a descendent of PatchWork, so there's no point in diffusing hatred, all these are great musical softwares) However this detailed history was deleted because it was perceived as promotional. So in the last version, I just removed the malevolent and aggressive edit, as well as the promotional material for PWGL that had maliciously been introduced by the same anonymous person in the OpenMusic entry. So the page is minimal, but it is objective and free from aggressive and vicious inclusions. best Gerard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theropode ( talk • contribs) 00:50, 9 April 2013 (UTC) Requesting to block Jenniepierce567Hi Administrator Barek.

Pending reviewI confess that I'm not a big fan of pending review, but what am I doing wrong (see Anne Hathaway)? According to WP:RG: "in case of obvious vandalism by one user, use native rollback or undo to revert the edit(s) (the new revision is automatically accepted)". Now, in Hathaway's case, I used a special rollback that allows me to put in an explanation as opposed to "native rollback".

Gunfighters for HireI apologize for any inconsistent entries I made earlier, but I am a little confused and need some advice. I am the media contact and web master for Gunfighters for Hire, a CA registered non-profit 501(c)(4) organization in Pioneertown. In the article regarding Pioneertown, I had inserted the name of our group and a link to our official website: www.gunfightersforhire.org. As we are one of the original groups that have performed there and our mission is to raise money and donate to other non-profit organizations, I had thought the entries would have been allowed. I think I may have mis-understood the policy. Having said this, would it not be important to include our organization as this is the primary location of our performances and that visitors come to Pioneertown from around the world. This is verifiable through a number of sources including The Hi-Desert Star newspaper of Yucca Valley, the Yucca Valley Chamber of Commerce, KMIR TV of Palm Desert and KESQ TV of Palm Springs, to name a few. Is our organization eligible to have its own entry in Wikipedia? Also none of our members are paid or receive compensation for performing at Pioneertown. Thank you.

Barek - A reason please for removal of the link to the book Memories with Maya posted under the Fiction section of the Technological Singularity wiki pageBarek, as in the title of this topic: May I know the reason you removed the link to the book Memories with Maya? Is it any different than the link for "Fringe" from Fox networks? for your reference here is Fox's Fringe external link posted under the Technological Singularity wiki pages in the Fiction subheading: Fringe The entire fringe series deals with the results of technological singularity's as well as the effect such things may have on the human necessity's of love and family.

That maybe true.. yet I have to wonder then why you choose/chose to remove a specific link I added (and that too in the appropriate section labeled FICTION, yet you saw it fit to leave the "other stuff" intact) I did visit the Technological Singularity wiki page again, and now see that the entire FICTION link has been removed? (or is it just not showing for me for some reason) But if the entire section has been removed, I'm again puzzled at who/what took that decision. Fiction on technological Singularity... particularly hard science (v/s scifi) is much needed as a catalyst - a way to bring these high profile concepts (Technologicla Singularity, transhumanism, etc...) to lay people. Memories with Maya the book, attempts to do just that, as do the other books that were listed under the Fiction Subheading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.205.166.200 ( talk) 19:50, 1 May 2013 (UTC) Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.205.166.200 ( talk) 19:44, 1 May 2013 (UTC)

Jim GoadHey, I am the one who has been editing Jim Goad's page, my apologies. I would have tried to pursue an alternate route, but i am still learning the editing process and it became very unclear. The point I was trying to achieve with my edits, which was more than being immature, is that this page reads like a PR release. Huge, important details of his life are glossed over in the entry even though they are included in the sources linked. These details do not portray him in a good light. Yet, when it comes to his writing style there is nothing but great quotes (and the links which say more than the Wikipedia page addresses). As a longtime reader this page offended me. It literally reads as what Jim Goad would like you to read.

It is not a marketing tool for West One Loans, but a serious guide to the bridging market. I am currently waiting for the Index to have its own entry cleared for publication.

Invitation to look at edits on IQ reference chartI see the article IQ reference chart has been tagged for expert review since October 2012. As part of a process of drafting a revision of that article in my user sandbox, I am contacting all Wikipedians who have edited that article since early 2009 for whom I can find a user talk page. I have read all the diffs of all the edits committed to the article since the beginning of 2009 (since before I started editing Wikipedia). I see the great majority of edits over that span have been vandalism (often by I.P. editors, presumably teenagers, inserting the names of their classmates in charts of IQ classifications) and reversions of vandalism (sometimes automatically by ClueBot). Just a few editors have referred to and cited published reliable sources on the topic of IQ classification. It is dismaying to see that the number of reliable sources cited in the article has actually declined over the last few years. To help the process of finding reliable sources for articles on psychology and related topics, I have been compiling a source list on intelligence since I became a Wikipedian in 2010, and I invite you to make use of those sources as you revise articles on Wikipedia and to suggest further sources for the source on the talk pages of the source list and its subpages. Because the IQ reference chart article has been tagged as needing expert attention for more than half a year, I have opened discussion on the article's talk page about how to fix the article, and I welcome you to join the discussion. The draft I have in my user sandbox shows my current thinking about a reader-friendly, well sourced way to update and improve the article. I invite your comments and especially your suggestions of reliable sources as the updating process proceeds. -- WeijiBaikeBianji ( talk, how I edit) 20:32, 28 May 2013 (UTC) RfCWhat was the result of the Centralia mine fire RfC?

The link that has been on wikipedia for a long time was checkrestitution.com, which I recently streamlined and changed to protectcheckwriters.com. Private DA check collection companies are a horrible trick on consumers, who are fooled into believing they are going to be prosecuted if they don't take a "diversion class" that is offered only as an excuse to add on up to $235 in a class fee (in addition to other fees.) The wikipedia page seems to have been put together by companies advocating these programs, and by me, advocating for the consumer. This is a neglected area, probably b/c I do not deny wanting to represent victims of these scams, but if you look on the web, you'll see that I have the only site that provides any consumer info. The other sites are simply DA sites supporting these programs. (And most of those sites are maintained by the two major companies that run DA check collection businesses, look for DA sites with either a checkprogram.com, or hotchecks.com address.) It is not my fault that no one else with a web presence is standing up for consumers on this issue, but the fact remains that there is no one in the country who has as much information as I have about these business, other than someone who works for them. (Check out the news articles on my website. I am quoted in almost all of them, not b/c I'm smarter than anyone else, but b/c I happen to have developed a real expertise in this area.) By the way, I talk to consumers without charge, and have provided information to hundreds of restitution program victims without ever filing a case or receiving any compensation. Any while your editing, why don't you take out the entire paragraph devoted to explaining the vacated jury verdict in a case in which the defendant got temporarily lucky. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.125.108.31 ( talk) 03:23, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

StalkingYou cannot have a section under stalking that covers Gang Stalking as simply a delusion of mental disturbed individuals as it is now. This is a real phenomenon on the rise and the mentioned section sites information that is 20 years old for a phenomenon that is only coming to climax in the past several years. There are reports from organizations like Fox News which are harder to find now due to large gang stalking groups scrubbing the info. Either way it is not right to cover Gang Stalking at all if it is simply going to be passed off as a mental condition.

Fox sourceI will post my article here then first. You mention it is not backed by a reputable source. Fox News last time I checked qualifies as this. Are you saying Fox News is not a reliable source? Or further the police officer they interviewed? Your actions make a mockery of Wikipedia for credible information if you censor valid and backed posts with baseless accusations. Here is my article please review for your records:
A January 2011 report on a Fox News affiliate covered a local man who was "Gang Stalked" or "Community Stalked" by a large number of people in his geographical area. Reportedly eventually leading to him having to sell his house and move locations due to the illegal pressures of the group. [1] A police officer in the report commented that while Gang Stalking has been around for a long time it is becoming much more prevalent due to the rise of technology and that groups will use to conduct these illegal activities.

RE: Bad Check RestitutionBarek - I'n not sure what the problem is. For several years, I had a link in this article to my web page, which provided consumer information that was too lengthy for the article and is not available anywhere else. When I changed the link to a revised web page about a month ago, you removed the link as inappropriate. The article contains a somewhat lengthy description of a vacated trial verdict in a case that has been going on for 12 years. I made revisions to provide an objective description of the litigation landscape in this area. You removed my revisions but allowed a 4-paragraph entry about a temporary victory by a defendant which was rendered moot when the verdict was vacated. The article contains a footnote reference, "NSF Fees", that is a link to a completely uninformative add for collection agencies. Please let me know the problem. As the article now stands, it present a highly inaccurate picture of the litigation in this area.

I still don't understand why you are allowing the "NSF Fees" link, which is nothing but an ad., and why you are willing to include the vacated jury verdict, which is nothing but a defendant saying, "I had a one good day in twelve years, but the judge erased it."

DEARBORN HIGH SCHOOL INFORMATIONhello. have been editing on wikipedia but am reasonable new to it. Information that was entered has been changed or removed. Reasons ? Perhaps needs accuracy or source citation ? What kind of source citations does WIKIPEDIA need to accept information ?Information about the school's programs, which is quite accurate, should be on the page.

Notability of Glenn WichmanI believe Glenn Wichman to be notable as defined in the Creative professionals section of WP:Notability (people). Here are a couple links I found.

We noticed though that when you edited Dearborn High School, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Breakfast at Tiffanys ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Is it possible for you to explain the rationale behind the removal of content? If you would like to discuss the content specifically, I would appreciate your input. The modification was meant to clarify the ASME position on residential elevators, and clarify the previous paragraph which says residential elevators may be less safe. Additionally, the Visilift elevator system, while associated with a brand, is unique and available only for this application. The intent was to inform that there is a type of elevator which was not previously discussed in any content on the elevator page. Simmons-jl ( talk) 17:59, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

Citation removed from Human resource management systemHi Barek. A couple of weeks ago I added a citation to the wiki about Human Resources Management System (HRMS) to the section about what currently HR management systems encompass. There was a citation request on that page for a while so the HR software company I work for wrote an article on their blog offering more information about different modules and contrasting several HRMS on the market. Could you please let me know why did you remove the citation? Do you feel there's something more we could add to that article to improve it? Thanks a lot for your time.

Fibromyalgia LeadThe Problem is according to the guidelines the lead should contain a summary if its controversial. But the article not only cites the same information, and repeats it virtually verbatim. If the controversy section were deleted I wouldn't have a problem since its basically the same information, or if the header section was an actuall summary I wouldn't have issue either. I am unaware of any other article like it under Wikipedia, which does lead me and obviously others to question the neutrality of how it is presented in both the header as well as in the article under its own subheading. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Repairwiki ( talk • contribs) 21:18, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Northwest Registered Agent linksHi Barek, This is Northwest Registered Agent LLC. I got an email from a Wikipedia user about you. We have a lot of free legal forms that law firms and clients use. As such, they have gotten a lot of mentions on Wikipedia over the years. We don't really understand how this works, but it appears that a competitor of ours from Carson City Nevada, based on that IP address went around and tried to get mentions of ours off of Wikipedia and then tried to put them all back, and now you're involved? I'm looking at some of these talk pages and it appears that people think it's advertising. The forms aren't for sale, so how is it advertising? I'm looking at the 501c3 page. We get a LOT of nonprofit associations and organizations that use our articles. We actually have the only website page out there that has non profit articles available that have 501c3 language in them. The articles are free to download, without any request of information. So how is that spam or advertising? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Northwestregisteredagent ( talk • contribs) 00:18, 16 August 2013

World TomorrowThe producers of the show changed the title card from "The World Tomorrow" to simply "The Julian Assange Show" in lieu of a lawsuit for infringement filed by The World Tomorrow Evangelistic Association of Sevierville Tennessee. Although promos ran initially in many RT markets under their planned program name of "The World Tomorrow", the title was changed just prior to the first episode airing to "The Julian Assange Show". Therefore, the current Wikipedia article is once again reflecting erroneous and false information with your re-edit because the program never aired anywhere - in any market - as "The World Tomorrow", or "World Tomorrow". All 26 episodes aired in every market under the title card "The Julian Assange Show". A quick phone call on your part to RT television and the production company will help you verify this, and clear up the error.

major update and rearrangementBarek, I hope you are still watching over us at Viking River Cruises--you have been so helpful in the past. We have now become Viking Cruises and I am attempting a complicated update, the upshot of which will leave us with a detailed Viking Cruises article and a very short Viking River Cruises article that points users to Viking Cruises for more information (more of a stub than a redirect). I have created the Viking Cruises page in my sandbox and plan to request review for publication but I don't see any way of commenting by way of explanation about what I am doing. If I were a reviewer I would want to know what is up with the Viking Cruises article versus the Viking River Cruises article without having to figure it out myself. What do you suggest is the best way to handle this? Thanks, Julane ( talk) 19:12, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

LibreOffice as Personal Budget softwareHello, Barek. I'm new here and hoping to understand why LibreOffice Calc shouldn't be included on the Personal Budget page. LibreOffice has in many ways replaced OpenOffice since the fork in 2010 and the establishment of the Document Foundation. Thank you in advance for guidance (posting this message was somewhat confusing for me. Hopefully this is correct.) I'm now realizing that the reason for linkspam may have been a link to an external website instead of the Wikipedia article on LibreOffice?

Do you have such knowledge, of the innards of AbuseFilters, or know who I should ask? But that's not my main question.) Can you help me get my edits into the page, and preferably, remove the rule-block that causes error 92, so that I will be able to respond if anyone should reply to my commentary?

Thanks for protecting the page. School staff make both regular and frequent attempts to whitewash the article and remove a controversy in it, everything from clumsy attempts, just deleting the material, to sneaky attempts, such as making many smaller edits, each time adding something else while removing the controversy piece by piece. The article was automatically added to my watchlist when I reverted one of the clumsy attempts some months ago, and has stayed on my watchlist since then, with me making reverts that are about as frequent and regular as the whitewashing attempts. Not because I personally care about the school or the controversy (or anything else in that part of the world, for that matter, since I live in Europe...), but because I feel that someone should do it, and noone seems interested in taking over the "job".

A favor to askAs per this, I tidied up the introduction and made the wording more neutral. I know that it's a minor thing, but I believe that it's important to hold all articles to the same standard, regardless of their importance. Anyway, my changes were reverted by this guy (the one who added most of the fluff and "admiration" slant in the article in the first place). I changed it back but I have no doubts that it won't last. I feel that my revision is more concise and generally more appropriate for an encyclopedia. I saw your note that you're going to be busy in the real world and less responsive on Wikipedia, but could you possibly keep an eye on it and the user in question? The way that they reverted the changes so quickly furthers my idea that they consider the article "theirs", and prune it as such. I wiki-retired a long time ago and no longer have the energy or time to fight these sorts of things, and I don't want to come across as asking you to push my own personal agenda, but I feel that "guarding" an article in such a way is ultimately a very bad thing. I understand completely if you don't think it's important or that I have grounds to be concerned, but I would appreciate it if you could at least give the situation a quick perusal. I've been gone so long that I don't even remember the standard procedure for these sorts of things, so I wouldn't even know where to begin with it. -- 184.166.113.34 ( talk) 04:39, 20 December 2013 (UTC) Ripple network XRP is a scamcoinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ripple_%28payment_protocol%29#Scamcoin_premined here i wrote what it means.

I'm confused about your removal of my additional section to ebay's controversy page about their removal of the Zimmerman piece. Can you please suggest an edit so that I can post it as I think it is highly relevant and contains all required references. I have pasted it below. Thanks In December 2013, on the same day that George Zimmerman’s painting raked in over $100,000 on eBay, [3] artist Micheal D’Antuono was told by the same online auction company that his artistic interpretation of the George Zimmerman/Trayvon Martin confrontation titled “A Tale Of Two Hoodies” violated eBay’s Hateful or Discriminatory policy and was removed from the website. [4] In an email D’Antuono provided to Raw Story [5], eBay told the artist that “[i]tems promoting or glorifying hatred, violence, or racial or religious intolerance aren’t allowed. Items that promote organizations with these views are also prohibited.” And they explained that “[t]he painting you listed appears to contain images or icons associated with the KKK which are not allowed to be listed on our site as they represent an organization that glorifies hate and violence.” As at the time of writing, the painting “A Tale Of Two Hoodies” had been relisted on artFido [6], with D'Antuono promising to donate 50% of the proceeds of the sale to the Trayvon Martin Foundation.

Zimmerman controversy part 2Hi again Barek. Thanks for your edits. I've still got my wiki training wheels on so appreciate your guidance :) To confirm, at a later stage when the current auction that has been relisted has ended, am I able to update this section stating what it sold for? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamaze01 ( talk • contribs) 04:13, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Zimmerman controversy part 3Thanks again Barek. I think it would be relevant as it provides an end to the story/controversy. I've made your edits and updated the page. Thanks again for your help and have a great New Year! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamaze01 ( talk • contribs) 04:22, 30 December 2013 (UTC) ?!Hi.
