On 1 January 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Les Mots bleus (album), which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Billboard magazine called Christophe's 1974 album Les Mots bleus "outstanding"? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page ( here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

Hello,
You left me a message here [ [1]] for edit warring, despite I have only reverted it once. So that's wrong.
- 94.210.203.230 ( talk) 23:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
3rd time reverting sourced, useful additions without a clear reason., I took your word for it. In addition you are edit-warring across many articles, so that's disruptive and you will do well to heed the 3RR warning in any event. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 01:15, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
I'd expect a more careful approach if I was given the power to give people warnings and such: No-one gave me the power to give warnings, everyone has that "power", including you. You are adding similar information across multiple Greece-related articles which causes content problems and is being reverted for valid reasons. Instead of starting large-scale edit-warring across multiple articles you should discuss on the talkpage of the article, before you readd this information. The warning about edit-warring that I gave you has the right information for you to consider given that you were reverting, but you reverted it, which is not a good sign. If you had read it, instead of reverting it, you would have seen that to be blocked for edit-warring you don't need to break the 3-revert rule but only to indicate that you intended to keep edit-warring. Since your edit-warring was large-scale, which meant that you intended to edit-war, and also since your edit-summary referred to three reverts, which meant that you didn't know about the three revert rule, I gave you the standard 3RR message to inform you about it. It is up to you now to consider your edit-warring options. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 04:21, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I've opened an SPI to check for other accounts for Mr Wiki Pro. I figure that you can weigh in if you want to here. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 08:47, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello again my friend. I am happy to announce to everyone (and to you, first of all), that after some really hard work and many hours in my office, I finally managed to learn how to edit the .SVG image type of files which are used by Wikipedia for maps and charts.
This newly-discovered knowledge, enabled me to deal with a chronic issue of the English Wikipedia's articles regarding Greece and its provinces: Poor quality low-resolution maps. If you have been to various pages such as Epirus (Region in Greece), or Western Thrace, Thessaly and Peloponnese, you probably have noticed how all these pages had different map styles, often low-resolution. So, now, I learned how to edit .SVG files and re-create all of Greece's provincial and regional maps in high quality and high resolution!
To see the difference in quality, here I give you some samples of my work:
Previous, low-resolution map (used by Wikipedia) for Epirus: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Periferia_Ipirou.png
My new high-resolution map for Epirus: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Location_map_of_Epirus_%28Greece%29.svg
Previous, low-resolution map (used by Wikipedia) for Central Macedonia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Periferia_Kendrikis_Makedonias.png
My new high-resolution map for Central Macedonia: /info/en/?search=File:Prefecture_map_of_CentralMacedonia_%28Greece%29.svg
You can find all of my uploaded maps at WikiCommons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SilentResident
The new maps are using the .SVG format which permits the users to zoom it for closer look, in contrast to the .PNG formats of the previous maps which wasn't zoom-friendly.
The maps I have uploaded, are two versions of each region of Greece - the Regional map, which is about the historical regions of Greece (Region of Epirus, Region of Central Greece, Region of Macedonia, etc), and the Prefecture Map, which is the Kallikratis Plan's Administrative maps of present-day Greece (Periphery of Epirus, Periphery of Attica, Periphery of Central Macedonia, etc).
Now I have run into a problem:
I found that the Wikipedia did not adopt a CLEAR policy regarding the separation of historical from the administrative articles - well, at least for Greece. For example, Wikipedia has two articles (one historical (click here), and one administrative (click here)) about Peloponnese, because the Periphery of Peloponnese does not have authority over the entire Peloponnese. But, at the same time, Wikipedia has only one article about Thessaly (click here) and its Periphery, merged into a single article, even if the Periphery of Thessaly is not limited to the region of Thessaly, but has extended authority over many islands of the Central Aegean Sea.
If things weren't bad enough in Wikipedia, some articles had a double name formula, such as this article, here, about Crete (click). In Crete's article, you may have noticed that the English name of the Infobox refers to the island (Crete), but the Greek name of the infobox refers to the administration (Periphery of Crete) which are two completely different cases. Islands and Administrations shouldn't be confused! With simple words, I am saying that the government of the island is NOT the same as the island itself! Right?
The Periphery of Crete, in fact, is not governing only the island of Crete, but also has extended authority over many other nearby smaller islands around Crete, and thus, proves my point that the separation of the islands from their governments in Wikipedia is required.
To end my message to you, and to summarize what I am trying to say here, is that I am looking into giving some professional attention to Greece's articles, so the regions to have separated articles from the administrative/governmental entities that govern these large regions. That could really help have things sorted out.
I am (almost) done creating the .SVG maps for the these Regions and also I am almost done creating maps for the Peripheries that rule over these regions. The maps are of the .SVG format and of high quality. Give a look to all files! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SilentResident What do you say? Couldn't Regions be separated from Peripheries (where this was not done yet, such as Thessaly and Crete)? -- SilentResident ( talk) 19:48, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
So what your take on the state of consensus? I have to say that there is so much use of the award in articles on performers that it's like playing wack-a-mole, but we must do our best.

I would appreciate more of an unbiased attempt from your writings/listings/ and edits that are viewed and accredited form ALL international institution and scholars as such.

I thought the image I uploaded was copyrighted but used under Fair use on Wiki guidelines. No/Yes? Jeydo ( talk) 06:26, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Don't get me wrong though, the 2nd time I added it I was just shrinking the picture down & didn't notice your earlier edit. So I know already they're non-profit - but that means they are non-commerical too then right? So then I will direct you here (Please read #2) & here. This would apply to the whole website then I believe. And in the end, I just wanted to add a picture to brighten it up too but how would I google such a thing that's allowed? I was considering asking for permission after you edited as well - but maybe I could arrange a event for her to visit my state. Where are you from? Because my wife is Colombian and she was completely stoked when Paulina Vega won! She jumped up and down turning in a circle, and it made my heart warm as I saw her reaction that I haven't seen since their progress in the World Cup last year. :) Just thought I'd share that, although I'm sure Ms Vega will become popular over the next year & I hope it's very beneficial to her country as well. You should visit there sometime if you haven't been yet. I've been over there about 5 times now.
Ok, so either way quite frankly - I'm glad you edited me in the first place. Because whether I was right or wrong doesn't matter to me, but that this happened at all in the first place. Life is too short probably to learn everything for as much time as I have on this planet, or even Google it each time - until we subject ourselves to the machine & putting microchips in us is a safe (well mostly anyway) commonplace practice. Anyway, just looking at your talk page, I get opened up to another world of creativity of photos I haven't seen before. You seem like a pretty cool guy & a guru at the Wikipedia or at least know what your doing. I wish I could probably watch you in action & learn somethings over a video chat, or how-to videos. Some of the conversational pieces seem like a script for a "Inception" sequel in fact - You could probably guess which one eh? So I'd like to thank you for the experience before I go to bed, and hope something else good comes from it too. Don't be a stranger. I edit as Jeydo over here on the other side of things, but I don't know a Wikia from a Wiki entry, except it's more fan & media driven IMO and less of a Encyclopedia entry to educate the masses.

Hey Dr. K.,
Just wanted to know what you think of SYRIZA getting voted into government in Greece. It has even made news here in Australia!
Besides, I need to ask for one small favour. Due to my location, my IP address gets accused of regional bias. I just need you to search up into Google 3 things:
Could you provide the number of results you get for that? For Port Douglas I get 14.1 million, for Port Douglas -queensland -australia I get 8.56 million (yet the location is still showing up as Australia), and for Port Douglas -canada -british -columbia I get 8.84 million.
I am not fussed if you cannot do this. Cheers, Luxure Σ 05:00, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi, you recently reverted an edit on the article Beatrice of England, and said it was a good faith edit. The editor you reverted changed her father from Henry III to Neil Patrick Harris and changed her mother from Eleanor of Provence to Kate Middleton.

Alexikoua just brought a source where it was proven without a doubt that you two were right and i was totally wrong . My certainty faded away , to be replaced by a strong feeling of shame and remorse . And i feel especially bad with the fact that i disrespected you when in fact you merit all my respect . In all honesty , i did not see your message in my talk page when you had written it because antidiskriminator had written another message 2 hours after you in my talk page ( you can check it ) which made me not see your comment. I am sorry for not assuming wp:goodfaith especially from you . Please do understand that my behavior was of a foolish man believing that he was 100% right and all the others were trying to manipulate the data . I am not trying to fix anything , as i take full responsibility , however i do want to make this clear , and offer 1 more time my apology , given your more than correct and very patient behavior towards me .Next time i will think twice before reverting you . Have a great day :) Gjirokastra15 ( talk) 19:02, 1 March 2015 (UTC)
Hi Dr.K.; Your edit message suggests that you did not see that the other editor you have posted regarding the Wikipedia article has decided to ignore your message. Here is a short summary of the history for easy access. He is currently edit warring against EngineeringGuy there and I posted my support there and requested Talk since he was reverting against two editors. Can you follow-up with him since I have done this to support another editor. The history of that editor is to first template tag material he is deleting and then to delete it in a week. Should it be set back to EngineeringGuy and await the tag-delete editor to start Talk to establish his consensus. Here is the revert in his he ignores your message:

Hi Dr.K.; Your edit message suggests that you did not see that the other editor you have posted regarding the Wikipedia article has decided to ignore your message.How is it possible that my edit message suggests that I did not see that the other editor decided to ignore my message when I posted my messages to you and him/her approximately six hours before his/her recent reversion at 12:54 UTC? I am also perfectly capable of reading talkpage histories without having them dumped on my talk. As far as the edit-warring, it must stop at this stage from your part because you are also at three reverts and the matter should be resolved through talkpage discussion and not through further edit-warring. You should follow WP:BRD and start a discussion on the talkpage of the article. Btw, I have opened a 3RRN report regarding the other editor. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 17:04, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello Dr. K,
I notice that yesterday you placed a warning on the talk page of LawrencePrincipe ( talk) for edit warring on (I assume) the Glengarry Glen Ross (film) page. He has continued to delete the material that is the subject matter of the RfC discussion. He has also posted a prominent Supplement at the very top of the RfC on the talk page, saying that because the RfC is poorly worded it may be closed immediately, and has also said that no changes to his deletion can be made in any case until the RfC is closed.
I am a relatively inexperienced editor; maybe I am in the wrong and he is correct in what he says. But I do not know how to respond, or what is the correct course of action. Any guidance which you could provide would be much appreciated.

Even if not, at some point we'll do some Greek stub of the week drives and will need your input on what is missing!♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:50, 3 May 2015 (UTC)

This is straight internal copyvio from Pahlavi Dynasty by an editor you've encountered, Artin Mehraban ( talk · contribs), who despite several warning still hasn't a clue about our copyright policy. His comments at Talk:Kashtariti make it clear that he thinks temporary blatant copyright violation (the article was lifted from a website) is ok, and that slowly changing words can avoid a copyright violation (see his latest edits at Pahlavi State of Iran. He's been adding images that he thinks are flags or symbols [3] [4] [5] and that last link also changed the color of Cyrus the Great's standard.

Miss Paris Slue The reason why I changed early Byzantine emperors (Arcadius to Phocas) from Byzantine to Eastern Roman is because they ruled at a time when the Eastern/Byzantine Empire still bore a strong resemblance to the Roman Empire of classical antiquity. The Eastern Empire itself would've ended in 610 AD. That's when Heraclius switched the court language from Latin to Greek and reformed the military and administrative divisions from obviously Roman to what are now seen as Byzantine. What existed from thereon was Byzantium. -- Miss Paris Slue ( talk) 01:45, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Για όταν το δεις μετά την επιστροφή σου από τις διακοπές:
Many articles have an indicator above Kosovo, like so [a]. The syntax, {{Ref label|status|a|}}, implies that the status of Kosovo is "a" (I take as meaning "disputed"). However, to a viewer perusing the article and pressing the "a" and seeing nothing (rather like when they press 1 or 2 and see info about references), they would wonder what it meant. I could not find a template relating to Kosovo, so without any info, why is it even there? Upon pressing the "a", would they not expect to see info concerning the Kosovo dispute? Is there even a template for it? Cheers, Luxure Σ 05:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

I admit, for a moment I wasn't sure what was going on there, I didn't knew of Rolandi+'s involvement in more feuds with other users, and when I saw my name in the Administrator's noticeboard, I was worried that my life in Wikipedia could have been put to an end with a ban or something, just because I tried to defend a page against POV edits.

Dear Dr. K, I am sorry for bothering you (and Athenean) right now, but the user Rolandi+ is trying to blakcmail me now, in the Talk: Albanians, he threatened me twice:
"So revert your edits about the albanians in turkey,or I will report you after that ANI"
and
"I may be blocked for this topic,but this doesn't mean that I can't report you for your vandalism.So go and delete your edits about albanians in turkey"
If I didn't misunderstood, isn't this a warning or threat? Isn't he warning me that if I don't undo his reverted POV edits, I will get reported? Isn't that a blackmail? How should I respond to his blackmails? What is the appropriate action for such cases in Wikipedia?

Re: Edits I made to the Straight Edge Razor page.
I was actually adding references to an section which did not have citations for its cost sources. My two references (in full Harvard format) were for the number of times a razor cartridge can be used, and the cost of the said cartridge. Previous content in the article just had these figures assumed, and I was set to make further adjustments in the next day as to where those figures may have come from/ replace them with cited references.

If you believe the move request is "uncontroversial" then please close it out and make the move. Nevertheless, this section shows a couple editors who don't approve, and there are others in the Survey who also don't approve. How sure are you it is "uncontroversial"? Furthermore, the tag is legitimate and often used there is nothing wrong with its use here. In this case it is useful to get a WP:SNOW so we can make the move sooner than later. I'm willing to set some timeline on that, maybe another 24hrs or something, to build a convincing case. Otherwise we are looking at waiting 6 more days before the article can be renamed.

I removed the infoboxes in the articles about the Aegean and Ionian Islands because these maps do not show the actual outline of current Greek or Turkish regions. In Turkey, the Aegean Region is larger than just the coastal islands that belong to Turkey. In Greece, the Aegean is divided in a northern and southern region. Kythira is not part of the region of the Ionian Islands, as it is included in the region of Attica. Why do you believe these faulty maps should be included in these two articles? — 37 (talk) 04:20, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
Why do you believe these faulty maps should be included in these two articles?you strongly imply that I believe that "these faulty maps should be included in these two articles", which is putting words in my mouth. In the case of the Ionian islands the presence of a small island not belonging to the region is a small perturbation which can be rectified by a description pending modification of the map assuming that there is currently no other alternative map. A similar solution can ve found in the case of the Aegean islands. But you should propose these changes at the article talkpages putting forward a detailed rationale and waiting for consensus to form. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 04:56, 19 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello, Dr.K. I have stumped upon a very unusual finding, here, that I deemed worth bringing to other Greek moderator's attention, in case of it being just a mistake or accident. The article Greater Albania is classified as being Category: Top-importance Greek articles [13], which I find pretty weird, given the fact that other nationalist irredendist concepts which have existed in the past, or still exist today, like the United Macedonia or the Megali Idea, are not classified as such. Isn't this strange, given that this is just a nationalist concept, which is not officially supported by the Republic of Albania and Kosovo, or am I missing something here regarding the reason it is added into the list of Top-important Greek articles? -- SilentResident ( talk) 18:15, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dr.K. In summary, WP:BRD is when I make an edit and provide reason and no one reverts (assuming no-one disagrees) It stays. But if someone reverts my edit, I go to talk page for discussion. Right? Just want to make sure. ( N0n3up ( talk) 05:19, 1 November 2015 (UTC))
Hi Dr.K. The reason I asked the question about BOLD in my post above because user Snowded keeps reverting my edit without being concise about to why he keeps reverting. He always reverts my edits and lectures and forces me to go to talk page for even the smallest edit, yet he only does this to me and not other editors. No one has even disagreed with my edit, yet Snowded just uses any justifications he can to keep me from editing. Again, he does this with me, not other users. He never presented any valid arguments for the previous argument we had before the current one and in occasion had even used my block log to use against me instead of concentrating on the topic in hand. And accuses me of edit-warring, personal attacks and other new stuff he brings up to prevent me from doing any editing. You can see in his talk page, the article's talk page and the post I placed on DRN that I never made any personal attacks whatsoever, nor have I edit-warred as seen here that I never went ahead of the 3RR rule, but went to the talk page and discussed it as you can see. Nevertheless, Snowded brings up whatever he can to go against me and my edit by repeating or bringing new arguments that he never covered in the early phases to justify his case without even providing sources nor solid arguments. I came because you talked to me in the previous event, not because I wan't you to support me, but to show you the things Snowded is doing is going against all Wikipedia reasoning and want to seen I placed an edit following BOLD yet Snowded always tries to do whatever to undo my edits, when he doesn't do the same to other editors that made their contribution to the talk page. The first edit has been going on for days, and now that I make another edit, he disregards what I say without even reading what I wrote. ( N0n3up ( talk) 15:09, 1 November 2015 (UTC))

Would you be interested in giving your opinion concerning sources on the Basil I talk page? -- Kansas Bear ( talk) 16:38, 1 November 2015 (UTC)
The article is very un-balanced and biased, I found out after User submitted a complaint, in the talk page. Manumission was never discouraged and the opposite was true after I checked it, it is encouraged. Someone is twisting Muhammad's hadith on giving gifts to discouraging manumission. The hadith I compiled and found are from the chapter called "Manumission of Slave", while the alleged hadith on manumission discouraged is from a chapter called "Gifts" especially the 16th section titled "A woman giving gifts to someone other than husband" Alexis Ivanov ( talk) 03:34, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I'm currently rewriting the Mount Ararat article. As you may know, according to the most popular interpretation of the Old Testament, the supposed Noah's Ark landed on Mt. Ararat. Researching the topic, I found an article which states: The European tradition (accepted by most Western Christians today) places the ark on "Mount Ararat" in eastern Turkey [20]
The source implies that Eastern Orthodox Churches do not. Can you please look into the topic if you have time? Does the Greek Orthodox Church have any views on it?
Also, can you please find Genesis 8:4 in Greek and see if it says "mountains of Ararat" (as in most cases) or "mountains of Armenia" (as in the Vulgate). This website seems to say Ararat. -- Երևանցի talk 13:48, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Precious again, your interesting music! I mentioned it on Portal:Germany.
Hello Dr.K., a happy New Year to you! Hope you had a good one, first of all.
I was wondering, as far as I can see, the article was stating in the lede "(..)and Persians", prior to his edits, or am I mistaken? I just took a revision here long before any of his socks edited it ( [22]) and it still stated the list including Persians, and not Assyrians. Later, some days ago as we speak, it was changed to Assyrians by Athenean, [23] and the sock did some warring with him and others, before being indeffed.
Could you clarify this up for me, perhaps, if you have time? Also, didn't the Achaemenids have a presence in Anatolia dating from about the earliest days dating from the establishment of the empire (in the latter half of the 6th century BC)? So shouldn't that, including the Assyrians, stay there as well? Bests - LouisAragon ( talk) 14:09, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Heh, I know, I just added a ping notification as I had placed another comment like 1,5 hrs prior to it. ;-) Just in case you might have had missed it. No, obviously I know that no individual person can be the consensus-maker by itself, but I thought I'd ask anyway as we were having a related discussion and you're well-established regarding the articles of these topics. Extra discussing never hurts, if its of actual usage that is. Yeah, I was myself thinking about making a bold edit as well, and I just did it as we speak. Thanks for your best wishes back! ))) Btw, feel free to let me know, if there are any specifically and only Greek/Byzantine/Roman-related articles on your watchlist that are in the most dire need of some proper expansion and referencing. Preferably Byzantine actually, but the other two are fine as well. Whenever I'll find myself having some more time, I want to focus a bit more on this scope, namely.

Congrats on creating and DYK-ing this article! I have some info on my bookshelf that I think could be relevant. What do you think of this link? It suggests there were really two versions of the Mauthausen work, one first performed in 1965, and issued as a record in 1966, called 'Ballad of Mauthausen', and another one from 1995, called variously 'Mauthausen Trilogy' or 'Mauthausen Cantata'. The 1995 work has 13 musical tracks (not 4) when you include the versions in English and Hebrew. Something else I've wondered about is if there was any print publication of the four poems by Kambanellis. Haven't see one so far. The poems are not in Kambanellis' memoir 'Mauthausen,' at least, not in the English version. Also, I'm wondering how the term 'Mauthausen Trilogy' came about. What are the three parts?

"1. Your advice to Alexikoua did not contain any mention to keep edit-warring, so please follow your own advice."
I am following my own advice. [26] I am discussing, he is ignoring. So, what's your point again?
"2. Do not restore sock edits."
1. Simply because he's accused of being a sock does not mean he is one. 2. Even if he is a sock, does it disqualify the sources he put fourth?
"3. Adding Kone is of Albanian origin in the first sentence of the life section is WP:UNDUE."
I find it kind of convenient that you claim that it's WP:UNDUE, because you were actively editing the page when it said that "His ethnic Greek parents" in the second sentence. Are you implying that it's ok if it says that he's of Albanian origin in the 2nd sentence? DevilWearsBrioni ( talk) 14:59, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
I find it kind of convenient that you claim...lacks AGF. But even so, I will reply that his Greek origin was in the second sentence. That's different from being in the first sentence.

If an editor passes the duck test then s/he can be called a sock and reverted without waiting for an SPI. Could you point me to a page where this is explained in detail? You see, from my perspective it does not make sense. Because, on the page I provided earlier it says: "Do not ever call someone a sock puppet on an article or user talk page or in any edit summary". You're instead saying that it's conditional, i.e. "Don't call someone a sock puppet unless there's strong evidence for it". There's an obvious contradiction here. Let me clarify further, if you don't mind. One can essentially accuse new editors of being socks, and make reversions on aforementioned basis regardless of whether these accusations are true or not. Not only does this provoke new editors who're unlikely to be too acquainted with the rules and policies of wikipedia to unknowingly break policies which will subsequently be used against them, it's also analogous to argumentum ad hominem. Would it not be better to focus on the material instead of the editor? (case in point: Alexikoua has accused me of being a sock).
And to cause a sock to be blocked, with or without an SPI, you have to call him/her what s/he is, i.e. a WP:SOCK. How else would the sock be stopped and blocked?Reporting an editor who you believe to be a sock is not the same as accusing said person directly of being a sock in an edit summary. The former I fully understand. The latter is described under "what NOT to do". [31]
As far as the rest of the stuff, you were restoring the Lostrigot/Rolandi+ obvious sock farm edits which were disputed and I have already explained why. I will not repeat myself as to why I reverted you. That's where it ends.Apart from the edit I restored I also made an edit to the article that was "entirely mine". You reverted this as well. This is why I bring up your claim that you didn't restore anything that was actively being disputed. That's all.
There's no need for you to get frustrated.Please do not attribute things to me that come out of your imagination. This is a not-so subtle form of trying to diminish my clear, logical and calm arguments. I will repeat this for the last time: If a sock is obvious you call him/her for what it is: a sock. No amount of wiki-lawyering will change that. As far as the content issue I already explained it so I will not elaborate further. Dr. K. 19:21, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Dr.K. Remember our discussion here in regards to the discussion in the British Empire talk page?

I must say Dr K that when I started in 2005 I had hopes for the idea of epistemic libertarianism. That knowledge would be freely shared and available and hopefully in such a way as to have it for understanding. I don't see that here. I see a very hostile work environment I see WP:DENY.

In the article about "The Holocaust in Albania" it is written in the 1943–45 section among others these sentences. "...Composed of ethnic Albanians, it was named after Albanian national hero George Kastrioti Skanderbeg, who fought the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century. Members took a religious oath using the Quran, pledging "jihad against unbelievers".... this is weird to say the least because Skanderbeg was a defender of christianity against ottoman empire in the 15th century and a group of people that claim jihad to other (this is another point to talk about since in 1945 there were no such thing as jihad in albanian territories) cannot name their division after an "Athleta Christie" who was granted only by the pope. So, long story short the usage of the term jihad in this article distorts factual history.

Hello Dr.K.,
In light of the citation issue at Armenian Genocide, I recently uncovered a new trick to overcome WP:OVERCITE. I am guilty of this myself, and I tried it out at Victor Maghakian, an article I created awhile ago. In case you didn't know, you can condense the sources into one ref and make bulletin points of all the other sources per WP:Citemerge. You can check out what I did for Maghakian's article here: [34]. As you can see, I added a "Other sources include:" ref with the rest of the sources being listed in bulletin points. Articles look much more neat this way. Regards, Étienne Dolet ( talk) 23:48, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
This inaccurate content has already been discussed on the talk page.But even the editors at the Reference Desk agreed with the formulation I had proposed. That's important and it is due to the abundance of sources I supplied. That should not be dismissed as overkill or a problem.
I see you have "thanked" me for both my contradictory edits at WP:AN3. You're a kind man! I try! Bishonen | talk 23:13, 3 February 2016 (UTC).

undescriptive edit summariesI am sure you can read my edit-summary where I mentioned that I was going to restore your edits. Which I did. Was that edit-summary not descriptive enough for you? I also don't appreciate you calling my edits "mangled" when they were anything but. However, your subsequent edit restored the IP date format change and the IP vandalism which I subsequently fixed. Now that can be called "mangling" but I will not follow any examples so I will not call it that. Dr. K. 02:06, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Remember the RfC I opened up in the British Empire talk page? Well it turns out that I said that I wanted the proposed sentence in the "lead", when actually the lead is the first paragraph of the top page and don't actually want it there. What should I do? Should I open up a new RfC or should I just make it clear as I did here?: [35]. Yes I know I completely screwed up my RfC and ruined the actual meaning of what I was trying to say. Probably why so many disagreed with me. ( N0n3up ( talk) 07:28, 14 February 2016 (UTC))

At long last, the Germans have admitted they got it badly wrong and are happy ready to embrace fiscal expansion to stoke demand and an economic recovery. About time. As Martin Wolf said recently, "the eurozone needs to embark on a fundamental questioning of its austerity-oriented macroeconomic doctrines. It is appalling that real aggregate demand is substantially lower than in early 2008." The nightmare is over at last. -- BowlAndSpoon ( talk) 21:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

If you are in a 1RR for a topic or topic-related article, does this include the reverting of non-vandalizing IP's?threw me off. You mentioned "topic" so I was thinking about a 1RR restriction for a specific "topic". So, I thought you asked a general question about reverting an IP outside a specific "topic", which was outside the 1RR restriction. But this does not apply in your case because your 1RR restriction is not related to a specific topic; it is general. You are not allowed to revert more than once anywhere, no matter what the topic is. Dr. K. 05:34, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello,
You left me a message here [ [1]] for edit warring, despite I have only reverted it once. So that's wrong.
- 94.210.203.230 ( talk) 23:43, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
3rd time reverting sourced, useful additions without a clear reason., I took your word for it. In addition you are edit-warring across many articles, so that's disruptive and you will do well to heed the 3RR warning in any event. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 01:15, 25 December 2014 (UTC)
I'd expect a more careful approach if I was given the power to give people warnings and such: No-one gave me the power to give warnings, everyone has that "power", including you. You are adding similar information across multiple Greece-related articles which causes content problems and is being reverted for valid reasons. Instead of starting large-scale edit-warring across multiple articles you should discuss on the talkpage of the article, before you readd this information. The warning about edit-warring that I gave you has the right information for you to consider given that you were reverting, but you reverted it, which is not a good sign. If you had read it, instead of reverting it, you would have seen that to be blocked for edit-warring you don't need to break the 3-revert rule but only to indicate that you intended to keep edit-warring. Since your edit-warring was large-scale, which meant that you intended to edit-war, and also since your edit-summary referred to three reverts, which meant that you didn't know about the three revert rule, I gave you the standard 3RR message to inform you about it. It is up to you now to consider your edit-warring options. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 04:21, 25 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello again my friend. I am happy to announce to everyone (and to you, first of all), that after some really hard work and many hours in my office, I finally managed to learn how to edit the .SVG image type of files which are used by Wikipedia for maps and charts.
This newly-discovered knowledge, enabled me to deal with a chronic issue of the English Wikipedia's articles regarding Greece and its provinces: Poor quality low-resolution maps. If you have been to various pages such as Epirus (Region in Greece), or Western Thrace, Thessaly and Peloponnese, you probably have noticed how all these pages had different map styles, often low-resolution. So, now, I learned how to edit .SVG files and re-create all of Greece's provincial and regional maps in high quality and high resolution!
To see the difference in quality, here I give you some samples of my work:
Previous, low-resolution map (used by Wikipedia) for Epirus: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Periferia_Ipirou.png
My new high-resolution map for Epirus: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Location_map_of_Epirus_%28Greece%29.svg
Previous, low-resolution map (used by Wikipedia) for Central Macedonia: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Periferia_Kendrikis_Makedonias.png
My new high-resolution map for Central Macedonia: /info/en/?search=File:Prefecture_map_of_CentralMacedonia_%28Greece%29.svg
You can find all of my uploaded maps at WikiCommons:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SilentResident
The new maps are using the .SVG format which permits the users to zoom it for closer look, in contrast to the .PNG formats of the previous maps which wasn't zoom-friendly.
The maps I have uploaded, are two versions of each region of Greece - the Regional map, which is about the historical regions of Greece (Region of Epirus, Region of Central Greece, Region of Macedonia, etc), and the Prefecture Map, which is the Kallikratis Plan's Administrative maps of present-day Greece (Periphery of Epirus, Periphery of Attica, Periphery of Central Macedonia, etc).
Now I have run into a problem:
I found that the Wikipedia did not adopt a CLEAR policy regarding the separation of historical from the administrative articles - well, at least for Greece. For example, Wikipedia has two articles (one historical (click here), and one administrative (click here)) about Peloponnese, because the Periphery of Peloponnese does not have authority over the entire Peloponnese. But, at the same time, Wikipedia has only one article about Thessaly (click here) and its Periphery, merged into a single article, even if the Periphery of Thessaly is not limited to the region of Thessaly, but has extended authority over many islands of the Central Aegean Sea.
If things weren't bad enough in Wikipedia, some articles had a double name formula, such as this article, here, about Crete (click). In Crete's article, you may have noticed that the English name of the Infobox refers to the island (Crete), but the Greek name of the infobox refers to the administration (Periphery of Crete) which are two completely different cases. Islands and Administrations shouldn't be confused! With simple words, I am saying that the government of the island is NOT the same as the island itself! Right?
The Periphery of Crete, in fact, is not governing only the island of Crete, but also has extended authority over many other nearby smaller islands around Crete, and thus, proves my point that the separation of the islands from their governments in Wikipedia is required.
To end my message to you, and to summarize what I am trying to say here, is that I am looking into giving some professional attention to Greece's articles, so the regions to have separated articles from the administrative/governmental entities that govern these large regions. That could really help have things sorted out.
I am (almost) done creating the .SVG maps for the these Regions and also I am almost done creating maps for the Peripheries that rule over these regions. The maps are of the .SVG format and of high quality. Give a look to all files! https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/SilentResident What do you say? Couldn't Regions be separated from Peripheries (where this was not done yet, such as Thessaly and Crete)? -- SilentResident ( talk) 19:48, 17 January 2015 (UTC)

I thought the image I uploaded was copyrighted but used under Fair use on Wiki guidelines. No/Yes? Jeydo ( talk) 06:26, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
Don't get me wrong though, the 2nd time I added it I was just shrinking the picture down & didn't notice your earlier edit. So I know already they're non-profit - but that means they are non-commerical too then right? So then I will direct you here (Please read #2) & here. This would apply to the whole website then I believe. And in the end, I just wanted to add a picture to brighten it up too but how would I google such a thing that's allowed? I was considering asking for permission after you edited as well - but maybe I could arrange a event for her to visit my state. Where are you from? Because my wife is Colombian and she was completely stoked when Paulina Vega won! She jumped up and down turning in a circle, and it made my heart warm as I saw her reaction that I haven't seen since their progress in the World Cup last year. :) Just thought I'd share that, although I'm sure Ms Vega will become popular over the next year & I hope it's very beneficial to her country as well. You should visit there sometime if you haven't been yet. I've been over there about 5 times now.
Ok, so either way quite frankly - I'm glad you edited me in the first place. Because whether I was right or wrong doesn't matter to me, but that this happened at all in the first place. Life is too short probably to learn everything for as much time as I have on this planet, or even Google it each time - until we subject ourselves to the machine & putting microchips in us is a safe (well mostly anyway) commonplace practice. Anyway, just looking at your talk page, I get opened up to another world of creativity of photos I haven't seen before. You seem like a pretty cool guy & a guru at the Wikipedia or at least know what your doing. I wish I could probably watch you in action & learn somethings over a video chat, or how-to videos. Some of the conversational pieces seem like a script for a "Inception" sequel in fact - You could probably guess which one eh? So I'd like to thank you for the experience before I go to bed, and hope something else good comes from it too. Don't be a stranger. I edit as Jeydo over here on the other side of things, but I don't know a Wikia from a Wiki entry, except it's more fan & media driven IMO and less of a Encyclopedia entry to educate the masses.

Just wanted to know what you think of SYRIZA getting voted into government in Greece. It has even made news here in Australia!
Besides, I need to ask for one small favour. Due to my location, my IP address gets accused of regional bias. I just need you to search up into Google 3 things:
Could you provide the number of results you get for that? For Port Douglas I get 14.1 million, for Port Douglas -queensland -australia I get 8.56 million (yet the location is still showing up as Australia), and for Port Douglas -canada -british -columbia I get 8.84 million.

Hi Dr.K.; Your edit message suggests that you did not see that the other editor you have posted regarding the Wikipedia article has decided to ignore your message. Here is a short summary of the history for easy access. He is currently edit warring against EngineeringGuy there and I posted my support there and requested Talk since he was reverting against two editors. Can you follow-up with him since I have done this to support another editor. The history of that editor is to first template tag material he is deleting and then to delete it in a week. Should it be set back to EngineeringGuy and await the tag-delete editor to start Talk to establish his consensus. Here is the revert in his he ignores your message:

Hi Dr.K.; Your edit message suggests that you did not see that the other editor you have posted regarding the Wikipedia article has decided to ignore your message.How is it possible that my edit message suggests that I did not see that the other editor decided to ignore my message when I posted my messages to you and him/her approximately six hours before his/her recent reversion at 12:54 UTC? I am also perfectly capable of reading talkpage histories without having them dumped on my talk. As far as the edit-warring, it must stop at this stage from your part because you are also at three reverts and the matter should be resolved through talkpage discussion and not through further edit-warring. You should follow WP:BRD and start a discussion on the talkpage of the article. Btw, I have opened a 3RRN report regarding the other editor. Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 17:04, 10 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello Dr. K,
I notice that yesterday you placed a warning on the talk page of LawrencePrincipe ( talk) for edit warring on (I assume) the Glengarry Glen Ross (film) page. He has continued to delete the material that is the subject matter of the RfC discussion. He has also posted a prominent Supplement at the very top of the RfC on the talk page, saying that because the RfC is poorly worded it may be closed immediately, and has also said that no changes to his deletion can be made in any case until the RfC is closed.
I am a relatively inexperienced editor; maybe I am in the wrong and he is correct in what he says. But I do not know how to respond, or what is the correct course of action. Any guidance which you could provide would be much appreciated.

Hello, Dr.K.,
The Editing team is asking very experienced editors like you for your help with VisualEditor. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.

This is straight internal copyvio from Pahlavi Dynasty by an editor you've encountered, Artin Mehraban ( talk · contribs), who despite several warning still hasn't a clue about our copyright policy. His comments at Talk:Kashtariti make it clear that he thinks temporary blatant copyright violation (the article was lifted from a website) is ok, and that slowly changing words can avoid a copyright violation (see his latest edits at Pahlavi State of Iran. He's been adding images that he thinks are flags or symbols [3] [4] [5] and that last link also changed the color of Cyrus the Great's standard.

Miss Paris Slue The reason why I changed early Byzantine emperors (Arcadius to Phocas) from Byzantine to Eastern Roman is because they ruled at a time when the Eastern/Byzantine Empire still bore a strong resemblance to the Roman Empire of classical antiquity. The Eastern Empire itself would've ended in 610 AD. That's when Heraclius switched the court language from Latin to Greek and reformed the military and administrative divisions from obviously Roman to what are now seen as Byzantine. What existed from thereon was Byzantium. -- Miss Paris Slue ( talk) 01:45, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Για όταν το δεις μετά την επιστροφή σου από τις διακοπές:
Many articles have an indicator above Kosovo, like so [a]. The syntax, {{Ref label|status|a|}}, implies that the status of Kosovo is "a" (I take as meaning "disputed"). However, to a viewer perusing the article and pressing the "a" and seeing nothing (rather like when they press 1 or 2 and see info about references), they would wonder what it meant. I could not find a template relating to Kosovo, so without any info, why is it even there? Upon pressing the "a", would they not expect to see info concerning the Kosovo dispute? Is there even a template for it? Cheers, Luxure Σ 05:54, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Dear Dr. K, I am sorry for bothering you (and Athenean) right now, but the user Rolandi+ is trying to blakcmail me now, in the Talk: Albanians, he threatened me twice:
"So revert your edits about the albanians in turkey,or I will report you after that ANI"
and
"I may be blocked for this topic,but this doesn't mean that I can't report you for your vandalism.So go and delete your edits about albanians in turkey"
If I didn't misunderstood, isn't this a warning or threat? Isn't he warning me that if I don't undo his reverted POV edits, I will get reported? Isn't that a blackmail? How should I respond to his blackmails? What is the appropriate action for such cases in Wikipedia?

Re: Edits I made to the Straight Edge Razor page.
I was actually adding references to an section which did not have citations for its cost sources. My two references (in full Harvard format) were for the number of times a razor cartridge can be used, and the cost of the said cartridge. Previous content in the article just had these figures assumed, and I was set to make further adjustments in the next day as to where those figures may have come from/ replace them with cited references.

If you believe the move request is "uncontroversial" then please close it out and make the move. Nevertheless, this section shows a couple editors who don't approve, and there are others in the Survey who also don't approve. How sure are you it is "uncontroversial"? Furthermore, the tag is legitimate and often used there is nothing wrong with its use here. In this case it is useful to get a WP:SNOW so we can make the move sooner than later. I'm willing to set some timeline on that, maybe another 24hrs or something, to build a convincing case. Otherwise we are looking at waiting 6 more days before the article can be renamed.

I removed the infoboxes in the articles about the Aegean and Ionian Islands because these maps do not show the actual outline of current Greek or Turkish regions. In Turkey, the Aegean Region is larger than just the coastal islands that belong to Turkey. In Greece, the Aegean is divided in a northern and southern region. Kythira is not part of the region of the Ionian Islands, as it is included in the region of Attica. Why do you believe these faulty maps should be included in these two articles? — 37 (talk) 04:20, 19 September 2015 (UTC)
Why do you believe these faulty maps should be included in these two articles?you strongly imply that I believe that "these faulty maps should be included in these two articles", which is putting words in my mouth. In the case of the Ionian islands the presence of a small island not belonging to the region is a small perturbation which can be rectified by a description pending modification of the map assuming that there is currently no other alternative map.

No, I will not. As I noted earlier, you and several other editors were together edit-warring a demonstrably false statement into the article. While the other editor was a sockpuppet of a blocked user, that doesn't make your actions less unwelcome. Nyttend ( talk) 20:13, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
If you wish, I can unprotect the page to enable you to restore the hoax to the article, but such will result in an immediate reversion and block., instead of issuing idle threats to longstanding editors you should go to the talkpage and justify your baseless "hoax" allegations. Better still, you should change the protection log entry as I originally requested of you. But even if you don't change it, it will remain as a permanent record of your completely flawed definition of "hoax". Δρ.Κ. λόγος πράξις 21:02, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

So you think restricting my access to editing articles in Wikipedia is justified? on what account? You are abusing your power because you don't like the way I handled things? I will not take this insults lightly, when people like you push newcomers around and restrict their ambition for having better articles.

Hello, Dr.K. I have stumped upon a very unusual finding, here, that I deemed worth bringing to other Greek moderator's attention, in case of it being just a mistake or accident. The article Greater Albania is classified as being Category: Top-importance Greek articles [13], which I find pretty weird, given the fact that other nationalist irredendist concepts which have existed in the past, or still exist today, like the United Macedonia or the Megali Idea, are not classified as such. Isn't this strange, given that this is just a nationalist concept, which is not officially supported by the Republic of Albania and Kosovo, or am I missing something here regarding the reason it is added into the list of Top-important Greek articles? -- SilentResident ( talk) 18:15, 25 October 2015 (UTC)

I agree with you -- it looks really strange, and I am not exactly sure what was going on. The other two accounts basically stopped activity after a while, and Rabauter started trolling. Of course, there were the talk page comments and all. This does convince me that they are linked somehow, but I am not sure how. GAB Hello! 22:17, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dr.K. In summary, WP:BRD is when I make an edit and provide reason and no one reverts (assuming no-one disagrees) It stays. But if someone reverts my edit, I go to talk page for discussion. Right? Just want to make sure. ( N0n3up ( talk) 05:19, 1 November 2015 (UTC))
Hi Dr.K. The reason I asked the question about BOLD in my post above because user Snowded keeps reverting my edit without being concise about to why he keeps reverting. He always reverts my edits and lectures and forces me to go to talk page for even the smallest edit, yet he only does this to me and not other editors. No one has even disagreed with my edit, yet Snowded just uses any justifications he can to keep me from editing. Again, he does this with me, not other users. He never presented any valid arguments for the previous argument we had before the current one and in occasion had even used my block log to use against me instead of concentrating on the topic in hand. And accuses me of edit-warring, personal attacks and other new stuff he brings up to prevent me from doing any editing. You can see in his talk page, the article's talk page and the post I placed on DRN that I never made any personal attacks whatsoever, nor have I edit-warred as seen here that I never went ahead of the 3RR rule, but went to the talk page and discussed it as you can see. Nevertheless, Snowded brings up whatever he can to go against me and my edit by repeating or bringing new arguments that he never covered in the early phases to justify his case without even providing sources nor solid arguments. I came because you talked to me in the previous event, not because I wan't you to support me, but to show you the things Snowded is doing is going against all Wikipedia reasoning and want to seen I placed an edit following BOLD yet Snowded always tries to do whatever to undo my edits, when he doesn't do the same to other editors that made their contribution to the talk page. The first edit has been going on for days, and now that I make another edit, he disregards what I say without even reading what I wrote. ( N0n3up ( talk) 15:09, 1 November 2015 (UTC))

The article is very un-balanced and biased, I found out after User submitted a complaint, in the talk page. Manumission was never discouraged and the opposite was true after I checked it, it is encouraged. Someone is twisting Muhammad's hadith on giving gifts to discouraging manumission. The hadith I compiled and found are from the chapter called "Manumission of Slave", while the alleged hadith on manumission discouraged is from a chapter called "Gifts" especially the 16th section titled "A woman giving gifts to someone other than husband" Alexis Ivanov ( talk) 03:34, 2 November 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I'm currently rewriting the Mount Ararat article. As you may know, according to the most popular interpretation of the Old Testament, the supposed Noah's Ark landed on Mt. Ararat. Researching the topic, I found an article which states: The European tradition (accepted by most Western Christians today) places the ark on "Mount Ararat" in eastern Turkey [20]
The source implies that Eastern Orthodox Churches do not. Can you please look into the topic if you have time? Does the Greek Orthodox Church have any views on it?
Also, can you please find Genesis 8:4 in Greek and see if it says "mountains of Ararat" (as in most cases) or "mountains of Armenia" (as in the Vulgate). This website seems to say Ararat. -- Երևանցի talk 13:48, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

Precious again, your interesting music! I mentioned it on Portal:Germany.
Hello Dr.K., a happy New Year to you! Hope you had a good one, first of all.
I was wondering, as far as I can see, the article was stating in the lede "(..)and Persians", prior to his edits, or am I mistaken? I just took a revision here long before any of his socks edited it ( [22]) and it still stated the list including Persians, and not Assyrians. Later, some days ago as we speak, it was changed to Assyrians by Athenean, [23] and the sock did some warring with him and others, before being indeffed.
Could you clarify this up for me, perhaps, if you have time? Also, didn't the Achaemenids have a presence in Anatolia dating from about the earliest days dating from the establishment of the empire (in the latter half of the 6th century BC)? So shouldn't that, including the Assyrians, stay there as well? Bests - LouisAragon ( talk) 14:09, 6 January 2016 (UTC)
Heh, I know, I just added a ping notification as I had placed another comment like 1,5 hrs prior to it. ;-) Just in case you might have had missed it. No, obviously I know that no individual person can be the consensus-maker by itself, but I thought I'd ask anyway as we were having a related discussion and you're well-established regarding the articles of these topics. Extra discussing never hurts, if its of actual usage that is. Yeah, I was myself thinking about making a bold edit as well, and I just did it as we speak. Thanks for your best wishes back! ))) Btw, feel free to let me know, if there are any specifically and only Greek/Byzantine/Roman-related articles on your watchlist that are in the most dire need of some proper expansion and referencing. Preferably Byzantine actually, but the other two are fine as well. Whenever I'll find myself having some more time, I want to focus a bit more on this scope, namely.

Congrats on creating and DYK-ing this article! I have some info on my bookshelf that I think could be relevant. What do you think of this link? It suggests there were really two versions of the Mauthausen work, one first performed in 1965, and issued as a record in 1966, called 'Ballad of Mauthausen', and another one from 1995, called variously 'Mauthausen Trilogy' or 'Mauthausen Cantata'. The 1995 work has 13 musical tracks (not 4) when you include the versions in English and Hebrew. Something else I've wondered about is if there was any print publication of the four poems by Kambanellis. Haven't see one so far. The poems are not in Kambanellis' memoir 'Mauthausen,' at least, not in the English version. Also, I'm wondering how the term 'Mauthausen Trilogy' came about. What are the three parts? Thanks for any comment, EdJohnston ( talk) 20:14, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
I haven't asked you any advice for so long. In fact, I attempted to end Magog's mentorship, but then I decide to rescind. Then I am asking you to either continue or end your mentorship with me. I can still ask you for advice without prejudice. I think I can do well without your need very much. Thank you for your service. -- George Ho ( talk) 06:13, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
If you're really a doctor (or even if you're not) you may find my pet article of interest. After reading it, you'll see that I'm obviously NOTHERE, like Nakon said. EEng ( talk) 13:33, 9 January 2016 (UTC)
An interesting problem has been highlighted by Doc James at AN ( permalink). Apparently Cram101 publishes "books" artificially created from Wikipedia text. A very quick look makes it appear they add links to the e-book which hapless students can click to pay $0.99 to take a quiz—what a brilliant scam! I looked at the history of one page mentioned in the report, and this diff shows who added it, so I thought I'd better alert you. What a mess. Johnuniq ( talk) 00:35, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
In the "Revolt of the army" section at Alexander's page it lists Gangaridai as part of modern day Bangladesh. That is incorrect, it belongs to Bengal region, both Bangladesh and modern day Indian state of West Bengal. Can you please help in changing this incorrect info, it should be Bengal region.

"1. Your advice to Alexikoua did not contain any mention to keep edit-warring, so please follow your own advice."
I am following my own advice. [26] I am discussing, he is ignoring. So, what's your point again?
"2. Do not restore sock edits."
1. Simply because he's accused of being a sock does not mean he is one. 2. Even if he is a sock, does it disqualify the sources he put fourth?
"3. Adding Kone is of Albanian origin in the first sentence of the life section is WP:UNDUE."
I find it kind of convenient that you claim that it's WP:UNDUE, because you were actively editing the page when it said that "His ethnic Greek parents" in the second sentence. Are you implying that it's ok if it says that he's of Albanian origin in the 2nd sentence? DevilWearsBrioni ( talk) 14:59, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
I find it kind of convenient that you claim...lacks AGF. But even so, I will reply that his Greek origin was in the second sentence. That's different from being in the first sentence. Again, I hope that you agree that announcing any type of origin in the first sentence is a bad editorial choice. Dr. K. 18:37, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

If an editor passes the duck test then s/he can be called a sock and reverted without waiting for an SPI. Could you point me to a page where this is explained in detail? You see, from my perspective it does not make sense. Because, on the page I provided earlier it says: "Do not ever call someone a sock puppet on an article or user talk page or in any edit summary". You're instead saying that it's conditional, i.e. "Don't call someone a sock puppet unless there's strong evidence for it". There's an obvious contradiction here. Let me clarify further, if you don't mind. One can essentially accuse new editors of being socks, and make reversions on aforementioned basis regardless of whether these accusations are true or not. Not only does this provoke new editors who're unlikely to be too acquainted with the rules and policies of wikipedia to unknowingly break policies which will subsequently be used against them, it's also analogous to argumentum ad hominem. Would it not be better to focus on the material instead of the editor? (case in point: Alexikoua has accused me of being a sock).
And to cause a sock to be blocked, with or without an SPI, you have to call him/her what s/he is, i.e. a WP:SOCK. How else would the sock be stopped and blocked?Reporting an editor who you believe to be a sock is not the same as accusing said person directly of being a sock in an edit summary. The former I fully understand. The latter is described under "what NOT to do". [31]
As far as the rest of the stuff, you were restoring the Lostrigot/Rolandi+ obvious sock farm edits which were disputed and I have already explained why. I will not repeat myself as to why I reverted you. That's where it ends.Apart from the edit I restored I also made an edit to the article that was "entirely mine". You reverted this as well. This is why I bring up your claim that you didn't restore anything that was actively being disputed. That's all.
There's no need for you to get frustrated.Please do not attribute things to me that come out of your imagination. This is a not-so subtle form of trying to diminish my clear, logical and calm arguments. I will repeat this for the last time: If a sock is obvious you call him/her for what it is: a sock. No amount of wiki-lawyering will change that. As far as the content issue I already explained it so I will not elaborate further. Dr. K. 19:21, 19 January 2016 (UTC)
Hi Dr.K. Remember our discussion here in regards to the discussion in the British Empire talk page? Well after the discussion we remember in the talk page, others began to talk about it after the previous discussions, in which I separated in this sub-section in the talk page in here. What do you think?, since I don't know what to do know. ( N0n3up ( talk) 03:37, 19 January 2016 (UTC))
I must say Dr K that when I started in 2005 I had hopes for the idea of epistemic libertarianism. That knowledge would be freely shared and available and hopefully in such a way as to have it for understanding. I don't see that here. I see a very hostile work environment I see WP:DENY. So much so that I am very weary of creating a list of articles that I wanted to contribute which would then be either deleted for various pedantic and bureaucratic reasons or edited to stubs rather than full fledged articles.

In the article about "The Holocaust in Albania" it is written in the 1943–45 section among others these sentences. "...Composed of ethnic Albanians, it was named after Albanian national hero George Kastrioti Skanderbeg, who fought the Ottoman Turks in the 15th century. Members took a religious oath using the Quran, pledging "jihad against unbelievers".... this is weird to say the least because Skanderbeg was a defender of christianity against ottoman empire in the 15th century and a group of people that claim jihad to other (this is another point to talk about since in 1945 there were no such thing as jihad in albanian territories) cannot name their division after an "Athleta Christie" who was granted only by the pope. So, long story short the usage of the term jihad in this article distorts factual history. Is this a reason to edit that article may I ask? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fan noli ( talk • contribs) 02:26, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for dealing with our friend, the foot vandal.

Hello Dr.K.,
In light of the citation issue at Armenian Genocide, I recently uncovered a new trick to overcome WP:OVERCITE. I am guilty of this myself, and I tried it out at Victor Maghakian, an article I created awhile ago. In case you didn't know, you can condense the sources into one ref and make bulletin points of all the other sources per WP:Citemerge. You can check out what I did for Maghakian's article here: [34]. As you can see, I added a "Other sources include:" ref with the rest of the sources being listed in bulletin points. Articles look much more neat this way. Regards, Étienne Dolet ( talk) 23:48, 31 January 2016 (UTC)
This inaccurate content has already been discussed on the talk page.But even the editors at the Reference Desk agreed with the formulation I had proposed. That's important and it is due to the abundance of sources I supplied. That should not be dismissed as overkill or a problem.
I see you have "thanked" me for both my contradictory edits at WP:AN3. You're a kind man! I try! Bishonen | talk 23:13, 3 February 2016 (UTC).

Mangling. See also the talk page for defense of your original ERA issue. That said, if the IP editor introduced vandalism such as dildo, good on you for fixing it... and all the more reason to avoid wholesale reverts and undescriptive edit summaries. Keep on keeping on. — LlywelynII 01:34, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
undescriptive edit summariesI am sure you can read my edit-summary where I mentioned that I was going to restore your edits. Which I did. Was that edit-summary not descriptive enough for you? I also don't appreciate you calling my edits "mangled" when they were anything but. However, your subsequent edit restored the IP date format change and the IP vandalism which I subsequently fixed. Now that can be called "mangling" but I will not follow any examples so I will not call it that. Dr. K. 02:06, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
Remember the RfC I opened up in the British Empire talk page? Well it turns out that I said that I wanted the proposed sentence in the "lead", when actually the lead is the first paragraph of the top page and don't actually want it there. What should I do? Should I open up a new RfC or should I just make it clear as I did here?: [35]. Yes I know I completely screwed up my RfC and ruined the actual meaning of what I was trying to say. Probably why so many disagreed with me. ( N0n3up ( talk) 07:28, 14 February 2016 (UTC))

At long last, the Germans have admitted they got it badly wrong and are happy ready to embrace fiscal expansion to stoke demand and an economic recovery. About time. As Martin Wolf said recently, "the eurozone needs to embark on a fundamental questioning of its austerity-oriented macroeconomic doctrines. It is appalling that real aggregate demand is substantially lower than in early 2008." The nightmare is over at last. -- BowlAndSpoon ( talk) 21:16, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

If you are in a 1RR for a topic or topic-related article, does this include the reverting of non-vandalizing IP's?threw me off. You mentioned "topic" so I was thinking about a 1RR restriction for a specific "topic". So, I thought you asked a general question about reverting an IP outside a specific "topic", which was outside the 1RR restriction. But this does not apply in your case because your 1RR restriction is not related to a specific topic; it is general. You are not allowed to revert more than once anywhere, no matter what the topic is. Dr. K. 05:34, 20 March 2016 (UTC)

Hi Dr.K. Apparently there is a constantly vandalizing IP at the picarones article. Apparently the IP constantly vandalizes an article, removes reliable sources and adds its own version without sources. Now I've checked all his edits and they are all made to vandalize the same article multiple times.
