Hi DMacks
I received a message saying that my recent contribution was done. Please could you let me know what was the issue?
Many thanks in advance, Dev — Preceding unsigned comment added by 163.47.15.200 ( talk) 16:49, 28 January 2016 (UTC)
First, congratulations on your 100k! I'm at 144k, but unlike you, I did nearly all of it with Huggle, so it doesn't count. I probably should have an edit count of 3-7/42...
re your revert to Max Li Hao's page blanking of Tide rolls here Max Li Hao is quite likely a sock. There does not seem to be an SPI. It seems that as soon as one is blocked another Li Hao reappears. I suspect if one is too quick on the draw blocking these, another persona might be used. I left a message about this on Tide rolls' page which is probably what instigated the page blanking. Evidence? So, I used noping. These have been blocked, mostly for SP. Also, likely a COI.
Suggestions? Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 05:19, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi DMacks. I see that you are an Administrator and have also reverted IP edits on Yisroel Belsky. They keep happening so can you please help with WP:Requests_for_page_protection#Yisroel_Belsky. Thank you. -- Jersey92 ( talk) 03:08, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi DMacks. The sources the article is using is extremely biased. It implies that the man supported sexual abuse. I know the man by name (never spoke more than a few words to him, but I'm familiar with his career) and have followed the stories and he was only guilty of believing better of his so-called friends than they deserved. That is definitely an issue, but not what the article makes it sound like. Another item- the controversy about physical force against that husband who refused to give his wife a religious divorce leaves out a very important bit of information that the husband was abusive. I'm sure you've heard of brothers beating up abusive husbands - this is a similar story. The thought behind some of my edits- I didn't add the hyperbole, that was someone else- was to make the wikipedia article the balanced article it should be. -- defender583 20:57, 29 January 2016 (UTC)
DMacks- the guy just died. There's stuff in the wikipedia article that is twisted from the sources to sound extremely bad. I think that Jersey92 is singlehandedly putting this twist in. I'm not saying this from stuff personally known to me, but from the same sources that are referenced now. The issue is are you going to let someone have defamatory stuff about them be put up again and again by one wikipedia user? It would be great if you could look at some of the IP edits that were removed and take out that slant. I don't think I have the manpower right now to keep undoing what Jersey92 is doing. -- defender583 21:57, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Vandalism is happening often. Extend PC? -- George Ho ( talk) 17:15, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
Hello, I wanted to explain the reason I removed information from BuzzFeed's page. I am affiliated with General Atlantic, and my goal on Wikipedia is to accurately list investment information concerning General Atlantic and General Atlantic’s portfolio companies. The investment information I removed was sourced from 3rd party news articles, but cannot be verified by General Atlantic or the companies who’s Wikipedia pages the information appears on as the details of those deals were not officially made public. I am able to verify the year of investment, so I kept that information available. If removal of the source is an issue, then I recommend keeping the source and date of investment, but removing other investment details (as my recent edits were intended to do). Thank you for your help! Michael Fjord ( talk) 22:27, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
uh no, actually it isn't. No violation of 3RR, nor will there be. Pot-kettle-black about "edit-warring" when there's rude removing of valid accurate elabs for "I don't like" reasons and non-valid WP reasons. I'm only restoring correct information against WP bullies who think they own articles, when they don't. Please don't put nonsense on my page again. I don't break WP rules or standards like you do. I would never remove something, a good-faith valid accurate elaboration, from another editor, simply because I thought it may have been "too excessive". It's a Wiki, DMacks. No one contributor owns any article. Thanks. 71.183.133.173 ( talk) 22:38, 12 February 2016 (UTC)
I don't know what you have against me and I don't know what your problem is or what privilege you assume you have but I do not accept harassment at any level. You seem to be following every edit I make on every page for the sheer enjoyment of bullying and harassment. You have made you intentions clear as you have continued to revert every single revision I have made in the past few days as you choose to input your own opinion into the edits I make. If you continue with following my every move and continue with your harassment, then I will be left with no choice contact the wikipedia staff to have you blocked and banned from this site. Please, resolve any issues you have with me and move on. There are more important people to bully and harass elsewhere on other sites that would probably be more fun to you. Don't keep on disrupting progress on this site, an educational encyclopedia that people come to for information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LivingGuildpact ( talk • contribs) 04:35, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Climate Action Plan is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Climate Action Plan until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. J♯m ( talk | contribs) 16:10, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

First, congratulations on your 100k! I'm at 144k, but unlike you, I did nearly all of it with Huggle, so it doesn't count. I probably should have an edit count of 3-7/42...
re your revert to Max Li Hao's page blanking of Tide rolls here Max Li Hao is quite likely a sock. There does not seem to be an SPI. It seems that as soon as one is blocked another Li Hao reappears. I suspect if one is too quick on the draw blocking these, another persona might be used. I left a message about this on Tide rolls' page which is probably what instigated the page blanking. Evidence? So, I used noping. These have been blocked, mostly for SP. Also, likely a COI.

Hi DMacks, we restored info on a broken link and added to where it was referenced. The page I edited is /info/en/?search=Fire_safety. The old url for escape plan was https://www.usfa.fema.gov/citizens/home_fire_prev/escape/. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. I can be reached on ed.burton79@gmail.com. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.89.9.1 ( talk) 17:24, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

I've closed the AFD as a keep. I did read the article and don't think it shouldv'e been kept, but consensus is consensus and that's what counts in the end. VegasCasinoKid ( talk) 22:24, 25 March 2016 (UTC)

Fair enough. [88]. Perhaps the word will become common use after his Tarzan-movie, then I´ll be able to source it to CNN, BBC, WaPo and the like. Sorry for the bother! Gråbergs Gråa Sång ( talk) 08:16, 29 March 2016 (UTC)
