I'm going to take this here because I think it's going to get a bit off-topic for the edit warring noticeboard. First, no problem with fixing the link to your name. The only reason I linked at all was that I wanted to test if it would give you a notification. So, speaking of which, did it?
More on the original topic: the question of who should give warnings of discretionary and how they should be phrased has been inconsistently understood by everyone for a long time. Annoyingly, last time we checked, even the arbs did not agree what our policies meant on it! I'm of the opinion that warnings of discretionary sanctions ought to be considered mere notices that they exist, with no implication of wrongdoing on the part of the recipient, and thus issuable by anyone, whether an admin or not, whether involved or not. Others believe warnings ought to be more like when the cops warn you the first time you're caught speeding: an official part of the sanctioning process, and thus issuable only by uninvolved admins. And our current policy uses different wordings in different places that can support either interpretation depending on where you look. So it's kind of a mess. I hope the committee will resolve the matter quite soon, even if they find against the way I think it ought to be, just so we can have clarity and consistency! It's a pain for AE admins, but probably even worse for the content editors who get mired in these disputes! Heimstern Läufer (talk) 00:40, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello DrK. Here is an editor User:Esoglou whom was giving a restriction to not edit on content that was designated as Orthodox Christian content. Here the editor is today violating that restriction again. [1] This editor edit wars and blocks Orthodox editors from contributing the Orthodox side to articles that being Orthodox and or Roman Catholic might put the Roman Catholic side of the argument in a way that would makes the Roman Catholic church look bad. This editor has repeated complains on their talkpage for using the excuse that they are dumb or dense as justification to post Original Research and remove Orthodox Christian content. Wikipedia simply will not restrict this person. Nor will they punish them from violating their restrictions. This has frustrated me to the point of giving up on Wikipedia. As more than not I am attacked for complaining about this person's behavior. I just felt that I owed you an explanation. And I would hope that you to might consider what it means to leave a place where your contributions are not respected appreciated and rules only apply to you and not other people engaging in disrupted and unethical behavior.

Hello, recently you posted on my talk page that I am in an 'edit war'. I'm not sure exactly what you mean by that, and certainly I'm not fighting anyone. The Coed School page has many issues, and facts that are incorrect/ missing.

Kindly please tell me the reason for giving me a warning for edit war. I don't intend to have any wars or argument. I'm just curious as to why you reverted back the edit that I made in Members section.
When I read your comment on adding references to their birthdays, I now understand why you reverted that edit. For sure, I'll add references to their birthdays after 24 hours has passed. However, I still don't understand why you reverted back the links to pages that don't exist. For example, "Heo Young-Saeng" does not exist, but Heo Young-saeng. If you intend to capitalize the names, please add | to the syntax or redirect it to the existing link.
Again, I don't look for edit war. In fact, I always try my best to be neutral. I hope you will think about it. Thanks!

I never reverted my new name FudgeFury back to my old name Farjad0322. I don't know how it happened.

Hi... I am FudgeFury again... But there is still a problem... I can't get my watchlist back... I mean while I was Farjad0322 in the past two months, I made a lot of new articles and added more in my watchlist... Now that I back to FudgeFury username, they are neither on my watchlist or my contributions log... I remember when I first became FudgeFury from Farjad0322 over an year ago, my watchlist automatically transferred to my new username... Why isn't it happening now?... Am I to wait a few days?

Your removal of information which is very much in the public domain about an accusation and call for police interview is unwarranted. I suggest you draw a parallel with the Rolf Harris article, IRWolfie- ( talk) 01:12, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello Dr.! I hadn't realized it was your article, so well done, first of all, on writing it ;) On the citations, I get your point on evidence of coverage, but IMO, five or more citations in a row, which as far as I could see repeat the same thing, i.e. that she called the junta's "man with the trowel" a clown, are slightly ridiculous and undermine the credibility of the article rather than the opposite. If you list a Greek, a US, and a German source, with sources in the calibre of Time or Spiegel, that is already more than sufficient evidence both of the world-wide interest (at least in the Western world) and of notability. Alternatively, you could add a statement to the effect that "this comment aroused international attention, as evidenced by its presence in X, Y, Z etc" and cite the relevant sources there. Anyhow, the article is yours, and you probably know best. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 20:09, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you. I'm the guy edited the article "Mediterranean Sea" yesterday. I just can't understand how could one crust overlap another. I think the article meant to say that the sea water merge the mediterranean. And so it should be " Geologically the Mediterranean is underlain by -- Shalibobo ( talk) 01:06, 8 September 2013 (UTC)ocean-- Shalibobo ( talk) 01:06, 8 September 2013 (UTC)."instead of by ocean crust. And sorry for I couldn't find the the way how to open a discussion on talkpage, (I didn't find that link) on the article so I can just talk to you in this way. So though I read this"If your message is related to a disputed edit, the best thing to do is open a discussion on the talkpage of the article instead of leaving a message here. This way we may involve as many editors as possible instead of confining the discussion here." I still have no other choice.
I see you are involved in various disputes with [ [8]]. Given he is a very fast learner and also involved in pro-Muslim edits in several articles (i.e. religion in Pakistan, Albanian etc), I have serious suspicions that he might be another sock of [ [9]].

Hey I have opened up an AN3 on editor Esoglou on the article Theoria. [13] I have tired to have a separate article created to dedicate that article to the treatment of the term strictly as an Orthodox theological term and Esoglou has blocked that. I have asked that the alternate article for the term in English and Latin contemplation be the focus of Esoglou's additions and he refuses this as well. Today Esoglou used the theoria article to post a statement that was a direct attack on the Orthodox theologian John Romanides (and no way source-able or appropriate for an Encyclopedia article) and I reverted his edit.
So Esoglou is stating that I should get banned too which I am ok with. However Esoglou though not being Greek claims to have such a command of the language and Greek culture as to edit war against Orthodox Priests on article like the filioque for example. As you Dr K being a Greek I would greatly appreciate your input into the issue of Esoglou making that claim that Roman Catholic theologians use and teach theoria so much so that just like Greek Orthodox theologians these Roman Catholic theologians write theological articles in English and use the Greek word theoria in them. [15] Since Esoglou is treating the theoria article that way, it should be a slam dunk, google search to find where the Roman Catholic church teaches one reaches theoria in the process of theosis through hesychasm by seeing the light of Tabor.
I mean since that is after all what Esoglou is posting, i.e. that this is theosis is the teaching of the Roman Catholic church by way of his edits and edit warring on those various articles. I mean he knows all about Orthodox theology but can't name one Orthodox theologian he has actually read. Oh by the way Esoglou has also hijacked this and other works over time to distort the underlying theological Orthodox teachings, under the guise or article he and his buddies created called Palamism.

Dear Dr K, Given that it is now proven that the Duchess of Cambridge is a direct descendant of Edward III, do you not think that the ancestry section on her site should be re written? It makes no sense that "she is likely descended from..." when the last line stresses that recent research confirms that she is no longer "likely" a descendent of Edward III - she is in fact, a PROVEN descendent of Edward III.

Please see the discussion on the talk page. Expresso is incorrect in Italian, and also considered incorrect by most English dictionaries. There was a general consensus not to encourage the propagation of this error, by specifically not mentioning the minority opinion in the lead section, and only discussing it in detail in the Etymology section, where the full issue can be explored in detail, which it cannot be in the lead. The lead is a summary, and does not have to include every little detail, especially when controversial. Yworo ( talk) 21:56, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
When I modified the dates of the century, along with other centuries and millenniums, I used a source as reliable as can be used for this type of subject that clearly states the reasoning for the change. You reverted the article to its definition with a dubious source. That source is a news clipping allegedly from 1901 that does not present anything compelling as to why the century began in 1901 instead of 1900. This entire debate is based solely on an opinion of how to define a calendar reference point. There is no one authority that can speak as to whether we should use a year zero or year one as a calendar reference point. The consensus today would be to define a starting point of something with zero instead of one. Please see my reasons for changing the years in the talk page, Dates section. Also, the current reference used for the 21st Century, The 21st Century and the 3rd Millennium When Did They Begin? does mention that there is a year 0 in the Astronomical calendar. When I made the change on that page, I made the years in reference to the Astronomical calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar, so what was changed was factual to its reference.

I never reverted my new name FudgeFury back to my old name Farjad0322. I don't know how it happened. It happened during a time when I didn't edit wikipedia for some time because I was busy with my exams. I want my new name FudeFury back. Help will be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi... I am FudgeFury again... But there is still a problem... I can't get my watchlist back... I mean while I was Farjad0322 in the past two months, I made a lot of new articles and added more in my watchlist... Now that I back to FudgeFury username, they are neither on my watchlist or my contributions log... I remember when I first became FudgeFury from Farjad0322 over an year ago, my watchlist automatically transferred to my new username... Why isn't it happening now?... Am I to wait a few days? Thanks for help :) FudgeFury( talk| sign| contribs) 22:48, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello Dr.K., I'm contacting you because we need some Greek translators to help with the deployment of the new VisualEditor on el.wikipedia. There are help pages, user guides, and description pages that need translating, as well as the interface itself. The translating work is going on over on MediaWiki: Translation Central. I also need help with a personal message for the Greek Wikipedians. If you are able to help in any way, either reply here, or head over to TranslationCentral. Thanks for your time, PEarley (WMF) ( talk) 18:27, 22 July 2013 (UTC)

Your removal of information which is very much in the public domain about an accusation and call for police interview is unwarranted. I suggest you draw a parallel with the Rolf Harris article, IRWolfie- ( talk) 01:12, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
Hello Dr.! I hadn't realized it was your article, so well done, first of all, on writing it ;) On the citations, I get your point on evidence of coverage, but IMO, five or more citations in a row, which as far as I could see repeat the same thing, i.e. that she called the junta's "man with the trowel" a clown, are slightly ridiculous and undermine the credibility of the article rather than the opposite. If you list a Greek, a US, and a German source, with sources in the calibre of Time or Spiegel, that is already more than sufficient evidence both of the world-wide interest (at least in the Western world) and of notability. Alternatively, you could add a statement to the effect that "this comment aroused international attention, as evidenced by its presence in X, Y, Z etc" and cite the relevant sources there. Anyhow, the article is yours, and you probably know best. Cheers, Constantine ✍ 20:09, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to bother you. I'm the guy edited the article "Mediterranean Sea" yesterday. I just can't understand how could one crust overlap another. I think the article meant to say that the sea water merge the mediterranean. And so it should be " Geologically the Mediterranean is underlain by -- Shalibobo ( talk) 01:06, 8 September 2013 (UTC)ocean-- Shalibobo ( talk) 01:06, 8 September 2013 (UTC)."instead of by ocean crust. And sorry for I couldn't find the the way how to open a discussion on talkpage, (I didn't find that link) on the article so I can just talk to you in this way. So though I read this"If your message is related to a disputed edit, the best thing to do is open a discussion on the talkpage of the article instead of leaving a message here. This way we may involve as many editors as possible instead of confining the discussion here." I still have no other choice.
I see you are involved in various disputes with [ [8]]. Given he is a very fast learner and also involved in pro-Muslim edits in several articles (i.e. religion in Pakistan, Albanian etc), I have serious suspicions that he might be another sock of [ [9]]. Time pattern and activity are striking [ [10]]. Alexikoua ( talk) 13:43, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
Kindly do not accuse me of edit warring. Please assume good faith. I removed a passage which was (a) redundant with a later passage in the article; (b) was written in peculiar English ("must have paid a lot of attention to"...). -- Macrakis ( talk) 01:36, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
Hi Dr.K,

Hey I have opened up an AN3 on editor Esoglou on the article Theoria. [13] I have tired to have a separate article created to dedicate that article to the treatment of the term strictly as an Orthodox theological term and Esoglou has blocked that. I have asked that the alternate article for the term in English and Latin contemplation be the focus of Esoglou's additions and he refuses this as well. Today Esoglou used the theoria article to post a statement that was a direct attack on the Orthodox theologian John Romanides (and no way source-able or appropriate for an Encyclopedia article) and I reverted his edit.
So Esoglou is stating that I should get banned too which I am ok with. However Esoglou though not being Greek claims to have such a command of the language and Greek culture as to edit war against Orthodox Priests on article like the filioque for example. As you Dr K being a Greek I would greatly appreciate your input into the issue of Esoglou making that claim that Roman Catholic theologians use and teach theoria so much so that just like Greek Orthodox theologians these Roman Catholic theologians write theological articles in English and use the Greek word theoria in them. [15] Since Esoglou is treating the theoria article that way, it should be a slam dunk, google search to find where the Roman Catholic church teaches one reaches theoria in the process of theosis through hesychasm by seeing the light of Tabor.
I mean since that is after all what Esoglou is posting, i.e. that this is theosis is the teaching of the Roman Catholic church by way of his edits and edit warring on those various articles. I mean he knows all about Orthodox theology but can't name one Orthodox theologian he has actually read. Oh by the way Esoglou has also hijacked this and other works over time to distort the underlying theological Orthodox teachings, under the guise or article he and his buddies created called Palamism.

Dear Dr K, Given that it is now proven that the Duchess of Cambridge is a direct descendant of Edward III, do you not think that the ancestry section on her site should be re written? It makes no sense that "she is likely descended from..." when the last line stresses that recent research confirms that she is no longer "likely" a descendent of Edward III - she is in fact, a PROVEN descendent of Edward III. All the best Ed. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.144.27.165 ( talk • contribs)

Please see the discussion on the talk page. Expresso is incorrect in Italian, and also considered incorrect by most English dictionaries. There was a general consensus not to encourage the propagation of this error, by specifically not mentioning the minority opinion in the lead section, and only discussing it in detail in the Etymology section, where the full issue can be explored in detail, which it cannot be in the lead. The lead is a summary, and does not have to include every little detail, especially when controversial. Yworo ( talk) 21:56, 7 October 2013 (UTC)
When I modified the dates of the century, along with other centuries and millenniums, I used a source as reliable as can be used for this type of subject that clearly states the reasoning for the change. You reverted the article to its definition with a dubious source. That source is a news clipping allegedly from 1901 that does not present anything compelling as to why the century began in 1901 instead of 1900. This entire debate is based solely on an opinion of how to define a calendar reference point. There is no one authority that can speak as to whether we should use a year zero or year one as a calendar reference point. The consensus today would be to define a starting point of something with zero instead of one. Please see my reasons for changing the years in the talk page, Dates section. Also, the current reference used for the 21st Century, The 21st Century and the 3rd Millennium When Did They Begin? does mention that there is a year 0 in the Astronomical calendar. When I made the change on that page, I made the years in reference to the Astronomical calendar instead of the Gregorian calendar, so what was changed was factual to its reference.
