Hi, Drmies! Since you know everything and everybody (I know that because it says so on my talk page), maybe you could recommend somebody to close the Afd Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gareth Davies. It's a tricky one, because it should really result in a merger of the subject page with a DAB page, including a full or partial history merge. Any thoughts?

Hi,
I notice that you merged the Marathon (chocolate bar) article into Curly Wurly.
Unfortunately, you didn't include the hatnote in the original article which covers the case of the unrelated UK Marathon chocolate bar. (This is necessary because "Marathon (chocolate bar)" could plausibly refer to either).
When updating and modifying articles like this, please take care to ensure that any necessary disambiguation is preserved; either you could have pointed Marathon (chocolate bar) back to the dab page itself- updating links where necessary- or include the dab in the Curly Wurly page as I've done.
FWIW, I'm not 100% convinced that the US Marathon article *should* have been merged into Curly Wurly, since it's a different product, but that's a separate issue.

Dear Drmies, yesterday you talked with me on behalf of Sitush, you do not know exactly what is the reality of Kerala's castes and castes among the Christians and their history so you speak. How can you direct "Cheramar Christians" to "Pulayar", since these two are entirely different? The fact is that when the Cheramars or Pulayars embrace Christianity they become "Cheramar Christians" not Pulayar or Pulayas.

So I'd like to see if you'd mind giving an outside opinion on the Sean Hannity article.
The Reader's Digest version: Before Hannity became a nationally syndicated host, he had a smaller local show in NJ. He allowed a caller "Hal from North Bergen" to call in "frequently" (something nobody can quantify). Turns out, he was Hal Turner, a neo-nazi and general scumbag. Later, he called into the show to announce an ill-fated run for Congress. Turner later claimed that he and Hannity were "friends", though Hannity denies it and there's not evidence beyond Turner's word. In 2008, a Black Panther guest on the show brought it up and a couple of partisan sources made noise about it for a few minutes and then dropped it. The mainstream media largely ignored it. It was removed from the article a few years ago because it was guilt by association and being given undue weight because it wasn't really notable to Hannity's bio. Now a SPA is demanding that it be put back in. I have BLP reservations and UNDUE concerns. He demands this "truth" be put into the article. As far as I know, you have no political hindrences....... if you have time, I'd appreciate it if you'd look in and see if you think I'm off base.

Hi. I've worked on improving Shinhwa discography for some time now, pretty much by myself. As you know, there are few Good or Featured articles in kpop (only one discography, which actually has major failings), and thus it has been difficult to figure out the proper way to do those elements of the article that are pretty Korea-specific, as well as to come up with a lead. However, I did my best and put it through Peer Review, after which point I had no idea what to do but list it for FL consideration. Random86 graciously helped with some table syntax issues and thus far has been the only reviewer. He/she added helpful comments but I doubt will ever declare support or opposition due to some possibly hurtful treatment received during a past FL review. That's it; no one else has touched it at all. Editors who typically chime in at that venue have commented on articles listed both before and after mine, but have steadfastly avoided the poor Shinhwa discography. Maybe it's so horrible that they don't even want to "go there", but if that's the case I'd like to know so I can improve it further and become a better editor. I realize both discographies and k-pop articles are disliked there, but I'd still like a shot. I've never done whole-article improvement before and I thought a discog would be a good stepping stone into that world; I did this whole process in good faith. That said, the article is likely to fail FL based entirely on non-participation; as an editor that is wholly unhelpful in terms of understanding article improvement. I'm afraid to ask any individuals for reviews for fear of being accused of canvassing and I'm not sure who I'd poke anyway. Do you have any suggestions? Does anyone reading this feel like reviewing it? If so, this sincere editor would be very appreciative. Shinyang-i ( talk) 16:31, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks (genuinely) for taking the time to look over the Take It Easy Chicken page. While the page is need of work, its notability can be traced to a chart position.

"Dictionary.com (and Merriam Webster) are not to be cited (online dictionaries are a joke)."
I was actually unaware of this.

I'm very much caught between old ways and new ways here--I'm not as hip as I sometimes sound. I am grudgingly acknowledging that the world is much more complex than I ever thought, and much more complex than can easily be caught in dictionaries and grammar books. But the alternative is to hold on to ancient codifications of meaning and use to the point where dictionary meaning dictates, for instance, how a person is to feel about their race, gender, orientation, whatever. There is at least one such dinosaur on Wikipedia (one who thinks that non-native speakers shouldn't be editing here, haha), and on the opposite side (but they're so far away that they could never even see each other, if they even spoke the same English) are some who are prescriptivists in a newfangled, censorious way, who'd like to ban every naughty word thinking we'll all start being nice to each other if we can only speak nice words. I don't want to be on either side.
Now, this wasn't your real question--rather, what is a good online dictionary? Well, I like (*blush*) wiktionary. But YMMV. Eric Corbett, Ritchie333, Sitush, SlimVirgin, LadyofShalott, any thoughts? I'm interested too. Drmies ( talk) 23:27, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you please revert this change [10] and lock Transracial identity until the AfD has concluded? Artw has been removing sourced material without comment or discussion in such a selective way that it significantly re-frames the article to be a Rachel Dolezal fork, instead of a more holistic article on the concept. In its current iteration, I would also have !voted "Delete" because the article has been significantly massaged to purge any pre-Dolezal reference to the term such as to the aforementioned novel. Artw and I have previously had a run-in over fringe material involving UFO conspiracy theorists he was trying to preserve and I'm inclined to believe this is a tit-for-tat attempt at WP:GAMING the AfD.

The information posted by a User on their Userpage can't be reliable. TripWire was previously PakSol. For a long time he declared himself as "This user is serving member of Pakistan Army". He even posted a pic of his uniform. Later on some his edits were mainly removing atrocities by Pakistan Army mentioned in Wikipedia and prevent any material being added to Wikipedia with reliable source if it states negative of Pakistan Army. Due to his username PakSol(COI), he changed his name. In some talk page comments he mentioned that he was there on Siachen glacier representing his Army, so he knows the truth. It can't be verified whether he is really in Pakistan Army. But it's not right that once a user will accept "I am in Army" and later on say "I am not in Army".-- Cosmic Emperor 06:13, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

User:KAVEBEAR has been editing with an apperrant POV against subjects and situations I have been researching in a manner that has been demonstrated with reliable sources to be inaccurate to a point that I believe the editor is attempting some sort of POV pushing to discredit sources and history as some sort of back lash and personal attack on me and my own research and contributions. I discovered some issues recently win regard to the subject of Kaukauali'i, where the editor has replaced the term "lower" with such phrases as "lowly" or implies that the secondary caste families of Hawaii are the lowest form or rank when it isn't a rank or even a formal caste level. We have discussed this before and the article talk page and history of Aliʻi bear this out. The history of George Luther Kapeau is only a recent example of the POV this editor displays in a way to effect other articles of subjects etc.. It is as if the editor is just trying to push my buttons.
Since you (and talk page stalkers) can be relied on to be honest and even criticize what each side has done....this needs to come here before it goes anywhere else.

So I'd like to see if you'd mind giving an outside opinion on the Sean Hannity article.
The Reader's Digest version: Before Hannity became a nationally syndicated host, he had a smaller local show in NJ. He allowed a caller "Hal from North Bergen" to call in "frequently" (something nobody can quantify). Turns out, he was Hal Turner, a neo-nazi and general scumbag. Later, he called into the show to announce an ill-fated run for Congress. Turner later claimed that he and Hannity were "friends", though Hannity denies it and there's not evidence beyond Turner's word. In 2008, a Black Panther guest on the show brought it up and a couple of partisan sources made noise about it for a few minutes and then dropped it. The mainstream media largely ignored it. It was removed from the article a few years ago because it was guilt by association and being given undue weight because it wasn't really notable to Hannity's bio. Now a SPA is demanding that it be put back in. I have BLP reservations and UNDUE concerns. He demands this "truth" be put into the article. As far as I know, you have no political hindrences....... if you have time, I'd appreciate it if you'd look in and see if you think I'm off base.

The GA Cup starts soon, apparently. One person who is keen to take part has just passed Babur as a GA. Aside from the tweaks to the article that I have done thus far, I'm also documenting more serious issues at Talk:Babur#Uzbek_sources.

Hi. I've worked on improving Shinhwa discography for some time now, pretty much by myself. As you know, there are few Good or Featured articles in kpop (only one discography, which actually has major failings), and thus it has been difficult to figure out the proper way to do those elements of the article that are pretty Korea-specific, as well as to come up with a lead. However, I did my best and put it through Peer Review, after which point I had no idea what to do but list it for FL consideration. Random86 graciously helped with some table syntax issues and thus far has been the only reviewer. He/she added helpful comments but I doubt will ever declare support or opposition due to some possibly hurtful treatment received during a past FL review. That's it; no one else has touched it at all. Editors who typically chime in at that venue have commented on articles listed both before and after mine, but have steadfastly avoided the poor Shinhwa discography. Maybe it's so horrible that they don't even want to "go there", but if that's the case I'd like to know so I can improve it further and become a better editor. I realize both discographies and k-pop articles are disliked there, but I'd still like a shot. I've never done whole-article improvement before and I thought a discog would be a good stepping stone into that world; I did this whole process in good faith. That said, the article is likely to fail FL based entirely on non-participation; as an editor that is wholly unhelpful in terms of understanding article improvement. I'm afraid to ask any individuals for reviews for fear of being accused of canvassing and I'm not sure who I'd poke anyway. Do you have any suggestions? Does anyone reading this feel like reviewing it? If so, this sincere editor would be very appreciative. Shinyang-i ( talk) 16:31, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks (genuinely) for taking the time to look over the Take It Easy Chicken page. While the page is need of work, its notability can be traced to a chart position. The song was a a hit as Two EP. This was referenced in the article. Perhaps it should be renamed Two EP? However, when I created the page chose to have one page for the song and the EP instead of two. Do you agree that an undo is acceptable? Chadwholovedme ( talk) 18:52, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

"Dictionary.com (and Merriam Webster) are not to be cited (online dictionaries are a joke)."
I was actually unaware of this. What is a good dictionary to cite, or just use in general for Wikipedia (to look-up/clarify the meaning of a word or for general editing purposes) to use, or that you would recommend? Preferably with free online access, if that's an option.— Godsy( TALK CONT) 02:44, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm very much caught between old ways and new ways here--I'm not as hip as I sometimes sound. I am grudgingly acknowledging that the world is much more complex than I ever thought, and much more complex than can easily be caught in dictionaries and grammar books. But the alternative is to hold on to ancient codifications of meaning and use to the point where dictionary meaning dictates, for instance, how a person is to feel about their race, gender, orientation, whatever. There is at least one such dinosaur on Wikipedia (one who thinks that non-native speakers shouldn't be editing here, haha), and on the opposite side (but they're so far away that they could never even see each other, if they even spoke the same English) are some who are prescriptivists in a newfangled, censorious way, who'd like to ban every naughty word thinking we'll all start being nice to each other if we can only speak nice words. I don't want to be on either side.
Now, this wasn't your real question--rather, what is a good online dictionary? Well, I like (*blush*) wiktionary. But YMMV. Eric Corbett, Ritchie333, Sitush, SlimVirgin, LadyofShalott, any thoughts? I'm interested too. Drmies ( talk) 23:27, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Can you please revert this change [10] and lock Transracial identity until the AfD has concluded? Artw has been removing sourced material without comment or discussion in such a selective way that it significantly re-frames the article to be a Rachel Dolezal fork, instead of a more holistic article on the concept. In its current iteration, I would also have !voted "Delete" because the article has been significantly massaged to purge any pre-Dolezal reference to the term such as to the aforementioned novel. Artw and I have previously had a run-in over fringe material involving UFO conspiracy theorists he was trying to preserve and I'm inclined to believe this is a tit-for-tat attempt at WP:GAMING the AfD. I don't want to get into an edit war with him and would just prefer new participants in the AfD have the opportunity to consider the article in an unvandalized state, instead of its "gamed" state as a Dolezal fork.

Hi Drmies.. The Namasudra article has been a subject of POV-pushing for years. I saw your observation regarding the dispute related to the name ( Talk:Namasudra), and thought you may be aware of this. One particular editor 117.194.* is active all through the talk page and revision history, and has been disregarding our policies in spite of repeated explanations by Sitush, as evident from the talk page. It is really difficult to handle an errant IP editor, engaging in edit war and unsourced POV-pushing or vandalism, and that too for years. Would request you to please protect the page. Thanks.

The information posted by a User on their Userpage can't be reliable. TripWire was previously PakSol. For a long time he declared himself as "This user is serving member of Pakistan Army". He even posted a pic of his uniform. Later on some his edits were mainly removing atrocities by Pakistan Army mentioned in Wikipedia and prevent any material being added to Wikipedia with reliable source if it states negative of Pakistan Army. Due to his username PakSol(COI), he changed his name. In some talk page comments he mentioned that he was there on Siachen glacier representing his Army, so he knows the truth. It can't be verified whether he is really in Pakistan Army. But it's not right that once a user will accept "I am in Army" and later on say "I am not in Army".-- Cosmic Emperor 06:13, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

I request that you re-open this AfD so that all interested editors may have the opportunity to take part. The AfD was open for just a few hours. G4 does not apply, and the speedy delete close of this AfD was improper. Independent and significant articles about the subject (not Kim) such as DailyMail were shown to exist, demonstrating GNG - with many more to be put forward. Also, JohnCD notified all previous AfD contributors, but, because of the speedy close, they did not have a chance to contribute to the discussion.

User:KAVEBEAR has been editing with an apperrant POV against subjects and situations I have been researching in a manner that has been demonstrated with reliable sources to be inaccurate to a point that I believe the editor is attempting some sort of POV pushing to discredit sources and history as some sort of back lash and personal attack on me and my own research and contributions. I discovered some issues recently win regard to the subject of Kaukauali'i, where the editor has replaced the term "lower" with such phrases as "lowly" or implies that the secondary caste families of Hawaii are the lowest form or rank when it isn't a rank or even a formal caste level. We have discussed this before and the article talk page and history of Aliʻi bear this out. The history of George Luther Kapeau is only a recent example of the POV this editor displays in a way to effect other articles of subjects etc.. It is as if the editor is just trying to push my buttons.
Since you (and talk page stalkers) can be relied on to be honest and even criticize what each side has done....this needs to come here before it goes anywhere else. I think you and others may be able to distill what the issue really is. I have no other choice but seek help.
