I had furnished some informations as heading Post Held Surender Singh Narwal It had been removed? Informations are true. Virender Singh Narwal ( talk) 20:06, 1 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi there - I'm trying to improve the Paul Steinhardt page so it meets wiki standards. I've reviewed the wiki style page (again) and made some changes to clean up the layout, which I hope you will see are an improvement. Perhaps I've been trying to be too cryptic because the subject is so complicated. Maybe that's why it seemed too much like a CV, which is not my intent. I'm just trying to chronicle his scientific contributions. Is it the inclusion of dates that are a problem? The date are especially important in the inflation section. They're relevant in the other sections as well, but I could work them into the copy if you think that would be better. I'm just trying to organize the information in a readable format.
I don't know Dr. Steinhardt, I'm just a fan. So I can't write the story of how he came up with all these unbelievably complicated equations and insights. But I CAN track his contribution to science through his work, and I really believe that is something that will be of great use to Wikipedia readers. I worked very hard on this page and very much want to make it work. Just like you, I have the best of intentions. Is there something specific I can do better? Sleepy Geek ( talk) 22:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi again- I've now made all the fixes you suggested, along many similar fixes in other places, as well. Your suggestion to combine Natural Quasicrystals and Geoscience was especially good, and a big improvement. What do you think now? Also: I've been going through and manually adding wiki-links...do more experienced users have a more efficient (automated) way of doing that? Thanks again for your very helpful advice. Sleepy Geek ( talk) 19:16, 24 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi there - Thanks so much for all this help, your advice really helped me improve the page in short order. I replaced the problematic footnote (#16 on the list), with a link to the relevant paper on his website. Nice to have another pair of eyes. Sleepy Geek ( talk) 19:40, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm
ReferenceBot. I have automatically detected that an edit performed by you may have introduced errors in referencing. It is as follows:
Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot ( talk) 00:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
I saw that you undid my revert. To clarify my point, I should tell you that my aim was not to oppose your edits and I wanted to keep the article in a good shape but I did not want to concentrate on finding the missing code! So, I undid it so that the article got in shape once again. Now, I see no problem with that because an IP, I think, fixed them. Btw, thanks for your efforts. Mhhossein ( talk) 05:34, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Whatever you're "fixing" on M-63 (Michigan highway), no one can tell what it is in the sea of other changes. Your edit shifted all sorts of text all around, without any effect other than to obscure whatever it is you're attempting to fix. Please isolate whatever change it is you wish to affect, without moving things willy nilly, so that others can see the specific fix. We can't learn whatever the issue is to attempt to avoid it if we can't find whatever the actual fix is! Imzadi 1979 → 22:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for trying to cleanup the article at Gravine Island. I had to revert the fix however because the fix removed the proper map in the article. The diff of the change is here. Your edit summary sais it fixed error #34. Thanks for trying. JodyB talk 11:38, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

05:49, 30 March 2015 (UTC)Sorry to bother you, could you reprotect the Rape in India page, or at lease semi protect it? To force discussion there? The IP editing there, in light of what the fracas between OccultZone and me, seems to me like a sick attempt to frame me. Even if its a coincidence, OccultZone will just use it against me. I know this 2 are selfish reasons. But more importantly, forcing discussion to talk was the best thing to happen to the page in a while. Seek your understanding on this, thanks.

Thank you for catching that, I had not seen that when I posted the expanded article but I knew what to fix so it's taken care of. MPJ -US 20:34, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bgwhite. Sorry about that, but I had to revert to the last known good config and in the process your edits and the bot's got reverted too. Could you possibly check the article again? Many thanks. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 21:08, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bgwhite. I was asked to look into the recent incidents with OccultZone. You can see what I've said on his talk page. Now, whilst I was looking into things, I did see a few actions by you which concerned me a bit and I was hoping to address them with you.
So what's your role there? It has become very blurred - as you're basically "protecting" your own edits at the exclusion of other editors, something admins really shouldn't be doing. What's more, your reasons for protection are not accurate - there's no way the edits are "Vandalism", since vandalism by definition needs to have an intent to harm the encyclopedia. Unfortunately, it's left you open to accusations of being " WP:INVOLVED".
If you could refrain from using your tools further at the Rape in India article, I'd certainly appreciate it. WormTT( talk) 11:28, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Bgwhite It's true that if OZ has served their first block for 72 hours things might have been better now. Ofcourse, we can't turn time back. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 20:38, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Worm That Turned I've left a message at Talk:Rape in India that you will be the one moderating the page now. Note, 6 of 7 editors mentioned, OZ has accused them of being a sock puppet. 5 of 7 editors, OZ has had been in an editor war. One of them is currently blocked for two weeks for warring with OZ... the same person that OZ was reverting the talk page that I did a 3RR for. There is currently an edit request waiting. One of two people making the request has already made it, but was shot down by OZ as being a sock puppet. Bgwhite ( talk) 22:16, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Hello BGwhite, could you please move Hermenegildo Gutiérres back to the original name: Hermenegildo Gutiérrez? If you have any questions about the move, please contact me. I created the article but again we have a Portuguese vs.Spanish war. He was from Galicia, count in Portugal, when Portugal was still a county, and most sources call him Hermenegildo Gutiérrez, including the ones that I used when I created the article. I tried to move him from Hermenegildo Guterres but made a mistake, so Hermenegildo Gutiérres should be destroyed, afterwards, since the spelling is incorrect and Hermenegildo Guterres should stay as a redirect. Many thanks, -- Maragm ( talk) 17:06, 4 April 2015 (UTC) pd..the same with Mendo Gonçalves back to original name, Menendo González

Hi. Wondering why we add "default sort" to articles when it doesn't change how they sort. We now have hundreds of language articles that sort improperly because they've been moved since defaultsort was added. So there's a downside, but I don't see any upside. Different of course if there's non-ASCII characters in the name that mess up the sorting. — kwami ( talk) 17:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
{{DEFAULTSORT:Oxford Railway Station}}
(
like this) so that it would sort before
Oxford Rewley Road railway station instead of after
Oxford Youth Theatre. In March 2011, category sorting became case-insensitive, so that "a" sorts with "A"; and so when you find such cases, they may safely be removed,
like this. --

It's a bit unprofessional to say "I'm sick of you", I don't thing you should address other users like this,
Very respectfully,
User:Perdika,
OK Will do,
Sir, first of all, allow me to thank you for making some technical improvements to this article. but i would have definitely not objected if your recent changes had been legitimate. Firstly, Read the "Talk' page of this article carefully. the subject of this article is a widely-known personality of the twentieth century era when there was no internet. As i have already stated in the talk page, i have the hard copies of the newspapers and the journals and other media outlets which have published about the important endeavors of the subject earning him international fame. thats why there are some of his books without an internet reference (like the History of Islam series) because internet did not even exist during that period. He has written numerous books and has won appreciations from even the former US President. Secondly, the photos of the subject are with VVIPs who have been Presidents, influential ministers and Scholars of world fame. Thirdly, not every scholar on planet gets a chance to be the Fulbright-hays scholar from entire Asia and teach in American Universities... Finally, i would like to tell you that the article is still in the making. There is a lot to be written in this article. It will be a comprehensive article dealing with all the aspects of the subject's character. So i would request you not to be so impatient to hastily make absurd key changes to the article... thanks User:S M M Iqbal Incidentally, i should request you to revert your latest changes with regard to the "unreferenced" content.
Thanx for the catch... I'm surprised that I got no notice from a bot on that one... Don't worry about correcting... I know which pages have been done and can go through the list, making the correction more easily than you can... GWFrog ( talk) 22:51, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
You have just wiped recent edits I have made claiming they are spam and that I have been using AWB to do the,m. This is not true. I am the author of both books - the references I have been replacing (by hand, individually - not by using AWB). The reason I am changing them is that I am replacing the earlier references from my first edition to those from my second, corrected, updated and enlarged edition of the book - and the only one now in print. If you have a good reason for reverting my edits - please let me know - otherwise I will be forced to revert your edits. Sincerely, John Hill ( talk)

Hello - I made many changes/updates to the Merkle Inc. Wikipedia page, in good faith trying to bring the information current. It had not been updated in several years. I am Marketing Communications Director for the company, and we have had numerous leadership changes, revenue growth, employee increases, acquisitions, awards, etc., even our positioning as a CRM agency has shifted. All of these changes needed to be added to our profile. I made every effort to follow rules against promotional language, etc.
I tried my best to figure out the coding and everything seemed to be rendering properly. I am very unfamiliar with the Wiki language, and therefore am not surprised to learn that there are some errors. Unfortunately, I can't identify them. Is there any way you can help me pinpoint the errors so that I can correct them? I am getting pressure from the CEO to make sure this is up to date, and I am winging it here!
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Sherrena Sherrena ( talk) 20:50, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. We will keep working on the article. For context, when my colleague originally set up the page in 2012, our content kept being removed as promotional. We tried to be as factual as possible, avoiding adjectives that might inflate our status. We articulated what we do (which is consulting, data, analytics, technology, creative, and media services in support of performance marketing initiatives for large companies). We use the simplest terms we could manage to describe a relatively complicated business. Everything we wrote, the reviewers said was either promotional or needed a citation. When describing our own business, we didn't have third party sources. It's what we do. That's why we ended up with such a small amount of content about the company - we wasted many hours/days only to see our content taken down. So we decided to focus on a timeline of facts that we can cite sources for. Anyway, I will try again to describe what we do. If you feel it is too promotional, I would welcome input as to which specific claims are unacceptable, so I know what to change. Also, I updated our entire Executive Committee last week, and only 3 members are now showing. Does Wikipedia only allow Presidents and CEOs to be listed? Thanks again!

Do you have some special knowledge of Austrian Copyright law, or of the details of my recent edits, which makes you think that your actions in reverting substantial improvements to wikipedia was a good idea?
Basically, which specific sort of person are you who thinks reverting changes from a position of massive ignorance is a good idea? I am sorry to be hostile, but I am very annoyed that you would revert edits which the relevant instution approves of. You have no way of knowing that they approved of these edits, but at the same time, you have no way of knowing that they did not, and so, from my point of view your reversion was an act of simple ignorant vandalism.— Preceding unsigned comment added by RichGibson ( talk • contribs) 07:00, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
Were you also the person who reverted a link to an existing image?
I think that you should have tagged this page, not reverted my edits.
I further think that you are simply a pedantic jerk. Sorry. But your actions made wikipedia worse, and I am pretty sure that you violated wikipedia policy. There is no reasonable interpretation that makes linking to an existing wikipedia image a copyright violation, and so at least in that you were just freaking wrong.

If you thought the Tabor City Prison section did not below, why not start its own page rather than delete it entirely. Seems heavy handed.
You get angry if someone uses a vulgar term, but did not respond to that above statement. If you lived and worked near this area, you would know how important the goings on of the prison are to the town. It is one of only two major employers left in the area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.129.222.17 ( talk) 22:50, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
I do not work there, but I had contributed some of the news reports to the article about the prison. I did try to undo the edit you did removing the prison stuff and then use it as the basis for a new article, but I was told I am unable to undo the edit, even to use it as reference. There was a lot of information and citations you removed
Anyway, the removal of the entire article still seems a bit much. It left the article on the town as no mention of the prison, which seems unfair as it is both a major part of the town, (number of employees, etc) and one of the biggest prisons in the state. You may state "it is not my place to write up an article about a prison that I no nothing about." but you made it your business to remove an article about a prison and a town you know "nothing about" I am not trying to be combative, instead I am trying to understand the process as a new contributor, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.129.222.17 ( talk) 00:21, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

How would you convert a table in HTML to an image? Particularly an SVG image? The only thing I can think of, and it seems like a terrible kludge, would be to print the HTML material that you deleted, scan it, and save as a jpg or gif. Do you have a better idea?

Hi Bgwhite. I noticed that you reverted an edit of mine to that article because it used h3 tags instead of three equal signs.

|language=

Hey there, I'm just wondering why my edits to the climate portion of the article keep getting reverted. I updated the stats from the Environment Canada page so that it would reflect their most recent data and not the significantly outdated data from the older version of the article. I get that I'm not a registered user, so it might look fishy, but is there anything else I may have done wrong to cause my edits to continually be reverted? Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.163.137.191 ( talk) 14:49, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Per this move log, you moved this page to the 'correct' Gosince attack spelling, but someone has apparently copy/pasted it back to Gošince attack. See here. The editor had already been advised of this by another editor, here and I have added my agreement to their comment. To complicate things however, the talkpage is still at Talk:Gosince attack.
Only contacting you since you are involved. Sorry if I'm short circuiting normal procedures!

Hi there - I'm trying to improve the Paul Steinhardt page so it meets wiki standards. I've reviewed the wiki style page (again) and made some changes to clean up the layout, which I hope you will see are an improvement. Perhaps I've been trying to be too cryptic because the subject is so complicated. Maybe that's why it seemed too much like a CV, which is not my intent. I'm just trying to chronicle his scientific contributions. Is it the inclusion of dates that are a problem? The date are especially important in the inflation section. They're relevant in the other sections as well, but I could work them into the copy if you think that would be better. I'm just trying to organize the information in a readable format.
I don't know Dr. Steinhardt, I'm just a fan. So I can't write the story of how he came up with all these unbelievably complicated equations and insights. But I CAN track his contribution to science through his work, and I really believe that is something that will be of great use to Wikipedia readers. I worked very hard on this page and very much want to make it work. Just like you, I have the best of intentions. Is there something specific I can do better? Sleepy Geek ( talk) 22:52, 23 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi again- I've now made all the fixes you suggested, along many similar fixes in other places, as well. Your suggestion to combine Natural Quasicrystals and Geoscience was especially good, and a big improvement. What do you think now?

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot ( talk) 00:24, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
I saw that you undid my revert. To clarify my point, I should tell you that my aim was not to oppose your edits and I wanted to keep the article in a good shape but I did not want to concentrate on finding the missing code! So, I undid it so that the article got in shape once again. Now, I see no problem with that because an IP, I think, fixed them. Btw, thanks for your efforts. Mhhossein ( talk) 05:34, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
Whatever you're "fixing" on M-63 (Michigan highway), no one can tell what it is in the sea of other changes. Your edit shifted all sorts of text all around, without any effect other than to obscure whatever it is you're attempting to fix. Please isolate whatever change it is you wish to affect, without moving things willy nilly, so that others can see the specific fix. We can't learn whatever the issue is to attempt to avoid it if we can't find whatever the actual fix is! Imzadi 1979 → 22:07, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Hi Bgwhite. Sorry about that, but I had to revert to the last known good config and in the process your edits and the bot's got reverted too. Could you possibly check the article again? Many thanks. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 21:08, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bgwhite. I was asked to look into the recent incidents with OccultZone. You can see what I've said on his talk page. Now, whilst I was looking into things, I did see a few actions by you which concerned me a bit and I was hoping to address them with you.
So what's your role there? It has become very blurred - as you're basically "protecting" your own edits at the exclusion of other editors, something admins really shouldn't be doing. What's more, your reasons for protection are not accurate - there's no way the edits are "Vandalism", since vandalism by definition needs to have an intent to harm the encyclopedia. Unfortunately, it's left you open to accusations of being " WP:INVOLVED".
If you could refrain from using your tools further at the Rape in India article, I'd certainly appreciate it. WormTT( talk) 11:28, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Worm That Turned I've left a message at Talk:Rape in India that you will be the one moderating the page now.

One of them is currently blocked for two weeks for warring with OZ... the same person that OZ was reverting the talk page that I did a 3RR for. There is currently an edit request waiting.

Hello BGwhite, could you please move Hermenegildo Gutiérres back to the original name: Hermenegildo Gutiérrez? If you have any questions about the move, please contact me. I created the article but again we have a Portuguese vs.Spanish war. He was from Galicia, count in Portugal, when Portugal was still a county, and most sources call him Hermenegildo Gutiérrez, including the ones that I used when I created the article. I tried to move him from Hermenegildo Guterres but made a mistake, so Hermenegildo Gutiérres should be destroyed, afterwards, since the spelling is incorrect and Hermenegildo Guterres should stay as a redirect. Many thanks, -- Maragm ( talk) 17:06, 4 April 2015 (UTC) pd..the same with Mendo Gonçalves back to original name, Menendo González

Hi. Wondering why we add "default sort" to articles when it doesn't change how they sort. We now have hundreds of language articles that sort improperly because they've been moved since defaultsort was added. So there's a downside, but I don't see any upside. Different of course if there's non-ASCII characters in the name that mess up the sorting. — kwami ( talk) 17:11, 8 April 2015 (UTC)
{{DEFAULTSORT:Oxford Railway Station}}
(
like this) so that it would sort before
Oxford Rewley Road railway station instead of after
Oxford Youth Theatre. In March 2011, category sorting became case-insensitive, so that "a" sorts with "A"; and so when you find such cases, they may safely be removed,

It's a bit unprofessional to say "I'm sick of you", I don't thing you should address other users like this,
Very respectfully,
User:Perdika,
OK Will do,
Sir, first of all, allow me to thank you for making some technical improvements to this article. but i would have definitely not objected if your recent changes had been legitimate. Firstly, Read the "Talk' page of this article carefully. the subject of this article is a widely-known personality of the twentieth century era when there was no internet. As i have already stated in the talk page, i have the hard copies of the newspapers and the journals and other media outlets which have published about the important endeavors of the subject earning him international fame. thats why there are some of his books without an internet reference (like the History of Islam series) because internet did not even exist during that period. He has written numerous books and has won appreciations from even the former US President. Secondly, the photos of the subject are with VVIPs who have been Presidents, influential ministers and Scholars of world fame. Thirdly, not every scholar on planet gets a chance to be the Fulbright-hays scholar from entire Asia and teach in American Universities... Finally, i would like to tell you that the article is still in the making. There is a lot to be written in this article. It will be a comprehensive article dealing with all the aspects of the subject's character. So i would request you not to be so impatient to hastily make absurd key changes to the article... thanks User:S M M Iqbal Incidentally, i should request you to revert your latest changes with regard to the "unreferenced" content.
Thanx for the catch... I'm surprised that I got no notice from a bot on that one... Don't worry about correcting... I know which pages have been done and can go through the list, making the correction more easily than you can... GWFrog ( talk) 22:51, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
You have just wiped recent edits I have made claiming they are spam and that I have been using AWB to do the,m. This is not true. I am the author of both books - the references I have been replacing (by hand, individually - not by using AWB). The reason I am changing them is that I am replacing the earlier references from my first edition to those from my second, corrected, updated and enlarged edition of the book - and the only one now in print. If you have a good reason for reverting my edits - please let me know - otherwise I will be forced to revert your edits. Sincerely, John Hill ( talk)

Hello - I made many changes/updates to the Merkle Inc. Wikipedia page, in good faith trying to bring the information current. It had not been updated in several years. I am Marketing Communications Director for the company, and we have had numerous leadership changes, revenue growth, employee increases, acquisitions, awards, etc., even our positioning as a CRM agency has shifted. All of these changes needed to be added to our profile. I made every effort to follow rules against promotional language, etc.
I tried my best to figure out the coding and everything seemed to be rendering properly. I am very unfamiliar with the Wiki language, and therefore am not surprised to learn that there are some errors. Unfortunately, I can't identify them. Is there any way you can help me pinpoint the errors so that I can correct them? I am getting pressure from the CEO to make sure this is up to date, and I am winging it here!
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Sherrena Sherrena ( talk) 20:50, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for your help. We will keep working on the article. For context, when my colleague originally set up the page in 2012, our content kept being removed as promotional. We tried to be as factual as possible, avoiding adjectives that might inflate our status. We articulated what we do (which is consulting, data, analytics, technology, creative, and media services in support of performance marketing initiatives for large companies). We use the simplest terms we could manage to describe a relatively complicated business. Everything we wrote, the reviewers said was either promotional or needed a citation. When describing our own business, we didn't have third party sources. It's what we do. That's why we ended up with such a small amount of content about the company - we wasted many hours/days only to see our content taken down. So we decided to focus on a timeline of facts that we can cite sources for. Anyway, I will try again to describe what we do. If you feel it is too promotional, I would welcome input as to which specific claims are unacceptable, so I know what to change. Also, I updated our entire Executive Committee last week, and only 3 members are now showing. Does Wikipedia only allow Presidents and CEOs to be listed? Thanks again!

Do you have some special knowledge of Austrian Copyright law, or of the details of my recent edits, which makes you think that your actions in reverting substantial improvements to wikipedia was a good idea?
Basically, which specific sort of person are you who thinks reverting changes from a position of massive ignorance is a good idea? I am sorry to be hostile, but I am very annoyed that you would revert edits which the relevant instution approves of. You have no way of knowing that they approved of these edits, but at the same time, you have no way of knowing that they did not, and so, from my point of view your reversion was an act of simple ignorant vandalism.— Preceding unsigned comment added by RichGibson ( talk • contribs) 07:00, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
Were you also the person who reverted a link to an existing image?
I think that you should have tagged this page, not reverted my edits.
I further think that you are simply a pedantic jerk. Sorry. But your actions made wikipedia worse, and I am pretty sure that you violated wikipedia policy. There is no reasonable interpretation that makes linking to an existing wikipedia image a copyright violation, and so at least in that you were just freaking wrong.

If you thought the Tabor City Prison section did not below, why not start its own page rather than delete it entirely. Seems heavy handed.
You get angry if someone uses a vulgar term, but did not respond to that above statement. If you lived and worked near this area, you would know how important the goings on of the prison are to the town. It is one of only two major employers left in the area. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.129.222.17 ( talk) 22:50, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
I do not work there, but I had contributed some of the news reports to the article about the prison. I did try to undo the edit you did removing the prison stuff and then use it as the basis for a new article, but I was told I am unable to undo the edit, even to use it as reference. There was a lot of information and citations you removed
Anyway, the removal of the entire article still seems a bit much. It left the article on the town as no mention of the prison, which seems unfair as it is both a major part of the town, (number of employees, etc) and one of the biggest prisons in the state. You may state "it is not my place to write up an article about a prison that I no nothing about." but you made it your business to remove an article about a prison and a town you know "nothing about" I am not trying to be combative, instead I am trying to understand the process as a new contributor, — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.129.222.17 ( talk) 00:21, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

How would you convert a table in HTML to an image? Particularly an SVG image?

I've roughly based my draft on the last persondata RfC (that you submitted). Thanks, — Msmarmalade ( talk) 00:43, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
I made my edit specifically so that the text would incorporate the day's actual counting if the article is read during the period of the counting. Is there a problem with that? StevenJ81 ( talk) 13:42, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Hi Bgwhite. I noticed that you reverted an edit of mine to that article because it used h3 tags instead of three equal signs. However, I used the h3 tags intentionally so that the [edit] links don't appear near these sections, but these subsections would still appear in the table of contents. I removed the edit links because otherwise, editing part of the table would be awkward. Thanks, Epic Genius ( talk) 12:31, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Good day Bgwhite, i notice that you deleted my page about Jerry Navarro Elizalde. can i ask you if i can get back my article about jerry elizalde navarro. im still new here in wikipedia. and this is for my school project. thank you. sorry for the bad english — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wataru43 ( talk • contribs) 14:18, 7 May 2015 (UTC)
I've started a discussion at Wikipedia:Village pump (miscellaneous)/Archive 49#AWB blues about the AWB problems and the reverting, in the hope we can get something sorted out. Sarah (SV) (talk) 22:19, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
Hey Bgwhite,
Is that Big white Shark by the way?

I'm an editor on Socrates, you'd be interested to know having viewed your User page (I'm thinking serendipitous we should cross paths)

In any case, to get to the issue I've actually messaged for, which is, bot 19 reverted an edit giving the reason - Violates WP:MOSHEAD - 03:18, 8 May 2015 in The Anabasis of Alexander, but in doing so rendering the titling some-what meaningless, or at least not apparently having much meaning in my own opinion, so, I'd have to revert the poor bot, but for thinking it would proceed to begin a war! and I wouldn't win obvs.... not sure how to resolve this conflict, other than to suggest maybe you might allow the previous titling? making an exception in this case... or at least tell me how the reasoning is specifically applicable to the titling I chose. Thanks. Whalestate ( talk) 00:12, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
how does a person award another user barn stars by the way? Whalestate ( talk) 00:14, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
could you restrict this change to args that do not end in numbers? this is the restriction that was placed on SporkBot. it's easier to clean up if all the first/last pairs are still there. thank you. Frietjes ( talk) 13:23, 9 May 2015 (UTC)
I think AWB only renames some parameters. I do not recall AWB removing duplicated parameters. GoingBatty knows better. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 21:56, 10 May 2015 (UTC)
|last6=Svitak |first6=R. |last6=Pradl |first6=R. |last7=Stepan |first7=M.to
|last6=Svitak |first6=R. |last7=Pradl |first7=R. |last8=Stepan |first8=M.Removing a duplicate
|language=
or |title=
field is helpful, but when AWB removes the second |first6=
parameter, the citation still has something that has to be manually fixed. Frietjes' suggestion sounds reasonable to me. Thanks!

GoingBatty can you please fill out a report for this at WP:AWB/B. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 08:29, 11 May 2015 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm just wondering why my edits to the climate portion of the article keep getting reverted. I updated the stats from the Environment Canada page so that it would reflect their most recent data and not the significantly outdated data from the older version of the article. I get that I'm not a registered user, so it might look fishy, but is there anything else I may have done wrong to cause my edits to continually be reverted? Cheers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.163.137.191 ( talk) 14:49, 13 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for the info and for the help! I've made the changes as you've suggested and fixed the ref. Also, hah! January and February are far worse though, not matter how much your wife is yelling. :P — Preceding unsigned comment added by 184.163.137.191 ( talk) 16:14, 14 May 2015 (UTC)
Per this move log, you moved this page to the 'correct' Gosince attack spelling, but someone has apparently copy/pasted it back to Gošince attack. See here. The editor had already been advised of this by another editor, here and I have added my agreement to their comment. To complicate things however, the talkpage is still at Talk:Gosince attack.
Only contacting you since you are involved. Sorry if I'm short circuiting normal procedures!
N.b. Editor seems to be making a fair number of page moves lately! Move log - 220 of Borg 04:33, 15 May 2015 (UTC)
