Dear Excirial!
It is MrAndrew16! Regarding the warning from you, I would like to inform you about the reason I made the correction on the side of "Hungarian Tennis Championships". I received the contemporary Hungarian Tennis newspaper which reported about the some Hungarian tennis players' career and it mentioned a relevant information about the cancellation of the Hungarian Tennis Championships in 1941. Almost everybody supposed that the reason was due to the World War II which can be understandable and acceptable. However, the true reason was not the war - directly -, but the lack of balls! At first hearing, this kind of reason can sound strange, however it is real and it was the official reason! Foregoing the facts, I would like to request respectfully to revert back to this modification because I consider that this information is vitally important to understand why that championships must have cancelled.
Thank you for your understanding!
Best regards, Andras Ruszanov tennis historian, Grand Slam journalist MrAndrew16

.Hello,
I updated a little bit the topic "Professional Organizing". There are other associations like NAPO out there. I listed the professional organizers in Canada and also the IFPOA where all the others associations around the world are listed. This info would be very helpful for someone else living outside of North America. Also, I have shared a blog "KW Professional Organizers" because they share a lot of great content with before and after photos and videos of real client's stories. These stories will help others understand what professional organizing is about.
I hope this info is helpful :)

thank you for your kind message regarding this entry of mine! https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Carden%20Loyd%20tankette&diff=765859665
My change was not constructive? It was my intention to correct the typo error (missing blank between 47 and mm like it should be between nearly every number an corresponding measurment unit [except °]) to improve wikipedia.

Thank you for explaining all of that; everything makes a lot more sense now. The divisions of responsibility here are very complex to someone (me) who is taking this much interest in editing on Wikipedia for the first time so I very much appreciate the objectivity. I see that MelbourneStar is responsible for much less than I attributed to him at first and apologize for the misunderstanding that caused. I will continue my efforts now on the actual write up for the talk pages. That being said, if MelbourneStar had been an admin doing of all that it would seem to me to be a major conflict of interest so re-reading my deleted post I still think it's pretty damn funny (thanks for keeping it archived). Also, isn't a more modern idiom "feeding trolls"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:1402:3E60:3D40:EC06:C2F7:6330 ( talk) 10:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Excirial,
As part of the Edit Review Improvements project, we are exploring ways in which new filtering capabilities can better support different review activities. As part of this effort we are considering how some of the ideas could be integrated into Huggle among other tools, and we want to better understand how these tools are used, identify where and how the new filters can be more useful, and discuss some initial ideas.
We plan to organise a small discussion session during the coming weeks, and since you already provided useful feedback on the ERI-Huggle talk page, we think you are an ideal candidate to participate. If you have time for a quick 30min. session, let us know.
To participate, please email the following information to me, pginer@wikimedia.org:

I added hidden text to the Milo of Croton page because I wanted to test whether I could trick students who are cheating on online quizzes.

Do you happen to know whether Google includes Wikipedia comment text in its hits?

Hi.
The reason why I removed so much content is because Ljubiša Diković was never charged with war crimes before ICTY. He was not charged before any national court by the state prosecutors. The only charge against him (which was dropped) was started by NGOs, some of which are used as a source in the removed content. Those NGOs were also court ordered to pay damages to Dikovic after he sued them. The content I removed also seemed very POV. Hope that explains it. 91.148.95.226 ( talk) 19:25, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

{{

- that template has a few more variations for specific shared IP categories (Such as schools or companies. The IP you mentioned seems to be registered as a
static IP (Though this may be incorrect, or the IP may have a longer TTL on its assignment than usual). If it is a static address the most appropriate template is likely {{

Hello, Excirial - I'm in the middle of copy-editing Spanish ship Fenix (1749), and one of the figures mentioned in that article is François Joseph Paul de Grasse.

.I reverted farther back on this page; IP edits (and one user, who is probably the same) added multiple names of people, I'm guessing as an attack on them. Thinking they possibly should be erased. Home Lander ( talk) 21:00, 16 February 2017 (UTC)

Hi Excirial,
thank you for your kind message regarding this entry of mine! https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Carden%20Loyd%20tankette&diff=765859665
My change was not constructive? It was my intention to correct the typo error (missing blank between 47 and mm like it should be between nearly every number an corresponding measurment unit [except °]) to improve wikipedia.
If you want to keep the wrong spelling, feel free to do so. I am not that attached to my sporadic contributions and do not want to argue about them.
Bye, bye. :)

Thank you for explaining all of that; everything makes a lot more sense now. The divisions of responsibility here are very complex to someone (me) who is taking this much interest in editing on Wikipedia for the first time so I very much appreciate the objectivity. I see that MelbourneStar is responsible for much less than I attributed to him at first and apologize for the misunderstanding that caused. I will continue my efforts now on the actual write up for the talk pages. That being said, if MelbourneStar had been an admin doing of all that it would seem to me to be a major conflict of interest so re-reading my deleted post I still think it's pretty damn funny (thanks for keeping it archived). Also, isn't a more modern idiom "feeding trolls"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:1C2:1402:3E60:3D40:EC06:C2F7:6330 ( talk) 10:43, 18 February 2017 (UTC)

Just letting you know that this revert at Once Upon a Time (season 6) was unfounded; the IP was correct in removing the content.

Hi Excirial,
As part of the Edit Review Improvements project, we are exploring ways in which new filtering capabilities can better support different review activities. As part of this effort we are considering how some of the ideas could be integrated into Huggle among other tools, and we want to better understand how these tools are used, identify where and how the new filters can be more useful, and discuss some initial ideas.
We plan to organise a small discussion session during the coming weeks, and since you already provided useful feedback on the ERI-Huggle talk page, we think you are an ideal candidate to participate. If you have time for a quick 30min. session, let us know.
To participate, please email the following information to me, pginer@wikimedia.org:

User JJMC89 had no previous issue with article notability, making several edits. nd only after edit conflicts, schedules the article for deletion discussion. This is clearly COI. This needs to be removed from deletion discussion. Rakanishu666 ( talk) 22:03, 1 March 2017 (UTC)
I added hidden text to the Milo of Croton page because I wanted to test whether I could trick students who are cheating on online quizzes. I was hoping to find out whether I could influence where a search engine sent them. Since I did not have a chance to test this, perhaps you could tell me. Do you happen to know whether Google includes Wikipedia comment text in its hits? Could I insert some invisible misleading text on a few pages for 24 hours, or is that a violation of an important Wikipedia policy? 129.118.77.110 ( talk) 21:15, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi.
The reason why I removed so much content is because Ljubiša Diković was never charged with war crimes before ICTY. He was not charged before any national court by the state prosecutors. The only charge against him (which was dropped) was started by NGOs, some of which are used as a source in the removed content. Those NGOs were also court ordered to pay damages to Dikovic after he sued them. The content I removed also seemed very POV. Hope that explains it. 91.148.95.226 ( talk) 19:25, 3 March 2017 (UTC)

Dear Excirial
I have no recollection of recently editing the Heysham School page (an edit which you advise me you have had to reject) - it is not a subject about which I have any knowledge or in which I have any interest. I do not drink alcohol or take drugs (I am not being sarcastic!), nor am I (to the best of my knowledge) mentally impaired, so I am genuinely puzzled by your message.
Yours perplexedly

Hello Excirial. I noticed that you recently undid an edit made by the IP address I edit from (45.47.111.86). I would just like to clarify that that vandal is not me, and ask if there is a way to indicate that the IP is shared. Great work stopping vandalism! Eddie891 ( talk) 21:35, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
{{
Shared IP}}
- that template has a few more variations for specific shared IP categories (Such as schools or companies. The IP you mentioned seems to be registered as a
static IP (Though this may be incorrect, or the IP may have a longer TTL on its assignment than usual). If it is a static address the most appropriate template is likely {{
Static IP}}
. Otherwise the {{
Shared IP}}
template is likely the most appropriate one, unless you are currently editing from a school, company or other location specifically covered by the various template variations.

12:18, 11 March 2017 (UTC)So let's say that an editor has been editing to an article/articles numerous times, vandalizing many times. However, the editors that keep reverting their edits don't leave any warnings on the vandalizing editor's talk page. Would this be an appropriate time to use the only warning (4im) template? Just wondering sense I have stumbled upon this situation a few times. Tompop888 (talk) (contribs) 21:25, 13 March 2017 (UTC)
Hello, Excirial - I'm in the middle of copy-editing Spanish ship Fenix (1749), and one of the figures mentioned in that article is François Joseph Paul de Grasse. As I was reading that article, I saw that there was a "citation needed" tag at the last sentence in François Joseph Paul de Grasse#Early life. I see that you have edited Knights Hospitaller, so I was wondering if you might be able to find a source for this sentence. – Corinne ( talk) 15:50, 11 March 2017 (UTC)
"... when he was twelve years old, in the year 1733.". Of course that is a) different to either of the dates we already have, and b) suggests he was born in 1721.
Les hommes illustres du Département de l'Oise: bibliothèque du Beauvaisis; notices biographiques, critiques, analyses littéraires, citations d'ouvrages, documents particuliers, etc. by Charles Braine (Published 1858) - Says he was born in 1723 and entered the navy (Marine Royale) in 1749 making him 26yo. However before that (from the age of 11 or 1734) he was employed as an ensign on the galleys of the Knights Hospitaller (p.541).

Hi Excirial, this is the third time I receive a user talk message for me to refrain from making disruptive contributions to "C.B.S. Charleville": the IP address, when I look it up over the net, is mine, and I am the only person to use my laptop, as far as I know, but I have only just looked up the page "C.B.S. Charleville", I am certain I never made any contributions, and I do not intend to make any. Your warning is you will prevent me from contributing to Wikipedia altogether: I do sometimes, and would rather keep going. Is there a resolve? There has to be a mistake in interpreting IP addresses.
