Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you undid a removal of vandalism (even if it was by the person who was mass reverting) on Template:Galatasaray S.K. sections.

Thanks for nabbing one of the IPs spamming my talkpage. This is the same guy that started harassing me some months ago on my userpage (leading to its semi-protection) after my reversions of his disruption on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Libya page. He uses dynamic IPs, which makes him hard to pin down. Hopefully he gets bored of this soon.
In addition, there is an IP trolling away at Talk:2011 Libyan civil war in violation of WP:TPG and in spite of being warned not to. A block would be welcomed by the productive editors of the page, if you believe it warranted. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen ( talk) 06:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Could you please, please, please immediately "unprotect" Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia so that me and Andrew Lancaster can go in and edit it? Yes, I have left messages on the talk page of the protecting admin, but he hasn't responded as he is on a prolonged vacation. Doing this would harmonize and bring up-to-date all of the articles on South Asian population genetics, so that everybody has freely available and accurate info. Muchas, muchas gracias.

A courtesy note, since you semi-PP'd Arora. I have decided to take this one on board after tinkering with it some time ago. It is a mess, mostly of puffery/OR/SYNTH etc. I have ripped into it a little over the last few hours but my intention is to build it up once the obvious unencyclopedic/non-compliant stuff is removed. I have added a fair few requests already and will need to give people time to respond, but hopefully it will all be worth it in the end. - Sitush ( talk) 00:34, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

If I put a category up for discussion, with the suggestion that it be merged, can I now withdraw that nomination? Specifically, I had suggested that Category:Irish American organized crime be merged with Category:Irish mob. I now realize this would be a mistake, and intend to suggest that the latter category be deleted. Today, just to be clear, I emptied the latter category (all of the articles in the category were already listed under more specific subcats). All of this is part of attempting to sort out the over-categorization of Irish Mob-related articles.

Hi Favonian, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I've become a little involved in editing an article Australian Christian Lobby which probably has some issues. There are two editors involved Freikorp and sam56mas. The latter hasn't responded to any attempts to discuss the article placed by Freikorp or myself. Freikorp tried to trigger a peer review to look at the article as he himself has some concerns about the neutrality of the article and the quality of some of the references used, although the reviewing editor pointed out that this wasn't the correct forum.
Can you advise us where to go or what to do now, the article needs some attention, but both Freikorp and I are concerned about getting into an edit war given that sam56mas isn't willing to enter into discussion? Surely there's a better way to go about it than just doing the edits and dealing with it once the war has kicked off so to speak. Any advice would be much appreciated. -- Deadly∀ssassin 11:04, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Verne Swedish Titles:
1) According to Wikipedia, Verne is the second most translated author of all time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Translationum 2) Naturally, he has many translations in Swedish which, of course, means that he did not write in Swedish. The website listed below is an example http://www.jules-verne.dk/ (look under Swedish Titles) 3) The first DATED book ever authored by Jules Verne was published in Swedish in 1863 Ref.

Verne Swedish Titles:
1) According to Wikipedia, Verne is the second most translated author of all time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Translationum 2) Many of these translations are in Swedish, transcribed from the French which they originally were written in. The following website gives a history of many of these Swedish translations: http://www.jules-verne.dk/ (look under Swedish Titles) 3) What is under discussion here is Verne's first book: Five Weeks in a Balloon, or Cinq semaines en ballon. In 1862 Verne was said to have been in Stockholm, Sweden, the very place where his Swedish translation of the book, entitled, En Luftballongsresa Genom Afrika was published (in Swedish) and dated 1863. Had Verne arrived there with his original French manuscript intact, it's very possible that this book may have been translated into Swedish and then published in Sweden before it became published in France. Bear in mind that there is no dating to the French first edition, so circa 1863 is the convention which has been applied Hence, the first DATED book ever authored by Jules Verne was published in Swedish in 1863. Scans of this publication and dating are available at truescans.com/Verne-1.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.237.221 ( talk) 15:43, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

According to wiki external links guidelines, it encourages external links in articles as long as they are directly relevant to the subject in the main article. If you plan on deleting all external links directly from the main page whether or not you are a subject matter expert, then why have the provision on the first place? The whole point of having a open encyclopedia is defeated and clearly the motivation to include content which at times can better explain concepts is low. I think if you have questions on the external link, route it to subject matter experts or the original author of the content instead of blindly deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.99.227.57 ( talk) 17:49, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Further to your protection of William Hope (actor): a Hope-related article, Submerged, has also been hit by the recent disruption (dubious, unsourced production information added here; now removed). Much of this recurring vandalism seems to stem from the 187.77... and 187.124... ranges (both apparently Brazilian-based; possibly a single, IP-hopping, anonymous contributor is responsible).
To prevent further disruption, would one or more rangeblocks be something to consider? I've checked the revision histories of some of the affected articles as far back as March and the rangeblock calculator produces the ranges 187.77.192.0/18 ( talk · contribs) (for 187.77...) and 187.124.0.0/18 ( talk · contribs) (for 187.124...).

Favonian,
Thank you for helping out with the “St. Ivan of Rila” article. I noticed that the WP:RM page has been backlogged, so I’m bringing forth my grievance to you first.
“Ivan” is the transliteration, and in this case the only acceptable translation of the Cyrillic “Ивaн”, pron. [ee’van] in Bulgarian. (“Evan” would be an even closer representation, but it wouldn’t yield nearly as many search engine hits.) “John of Rila” is a crude, ignorant, and highly arbitrary rendition of “Ивaн Рилски”. If that was an agreeable interpretation, “Kaloyan” should be anglicized as “Handsome John”, or rather “Pretty John”. That of course, would be silly. This is about a proper name of a person of great historic (and historical) significance; about the Cuthbert of that part of Europe. Let’s not make a mockery out of it. Let’s change all the “Johns” in the article to “Ivan”.
Thank you again for your help, Vkarastoyanov ( talk) 22:55, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Favonian, I don’t want to argue with you, especially about the so called “reliable sources”, but John is not the direct equivalent of Ivan, not in Bulgarian, nor in any of the other Slavic languages, not in Scandinavia. John is related to Ivan, Jan, Johannes, Ioan, Yoan, Jean, etc., but it’s far removed. This is like calling JFK “Jean Kennedy” in French, or naming King Arthur “King Ahmed” on the Arabic Wikipedia. Sometimes, mind you, errors are self-fueled and self-perpetuated, as in the case of a few Bulgarian sites translating “St. Ivan of Rila” as “St. John” because they looked it up on Wikipedia — it is the first thing that comes up on Google. And Wikipedia (in this case you), is quoting them as reliable sources.
Re: Wikipedia names: If that is the system you follow, then you need to change “Johannes Brahms” to “John Brahms” (and so forth). Vkarastoyanov ( talk) 14:29, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for nabbing one of the IPs spamming my talkpage. This is the same guy that started harassing me some months ago on my userpage (leading to its semi-protection) after my reversions of his disruption on the Wikipedia:WikiProject Libya page. He uses dynamic IPs, which makes him hard to pin down. Hopefully he gets bored of this soon.
In addition, there is an IP trolling away at Talk:2011 Libyan civil war in violation of WP:TPG and in spite of being warned not to. A block would be welcomed by the productive editors of the page, if you believe it warranted. ~~ Lothar von Richthofen ( talk) 06:11, 17 October 2011 (UTC)
Could you please, please, please immediately "unprotect" Genetics and archaeogenetics of South Asia so that me and Andrew Lancaster can go in and edit it? Yes, I have left messages on the talk page of the protecting admin, but he hasn't responded as he is on a prolonged vacation. Doing this would harmonize and bring up-to-date all of the articles on South Asian population genetics, so that everybody has freely available and accurate info. Muchas, muchas gracias.

If I put a category up for discussion, with the suggestion that it be merged, can I now withdraw that nomination? Specifically, I had suggested that Category:Irish American organized crime be merged with Category:Irish mob. I now realize this would be a mistake, and intend to suggest that the latter category be deleted. Today, just to be clear, I emptied the latter category (all of the articles in the category were already listed under more specific subcats). All of this is part of attempting to sort out the over-categorization of Irish Mob-related articles.

Hi Favonian, I'm looking for a bit of advice. I've become a little involved in editing an article Australian Christian Lobby which probably has some issues. There are two editors involved Freikorp and sam56mas. The latter hasn't responded to any attempts to discuss the article placed by Freikorp or myself. Freikorp tried to trigger a peer review to look at the article as he himself has some concerns about the neutrality of the article and the quality of some of the references used, although the reviewing editor pointed out that this wasn't the correct forum.
Can you advise us where to go or what to do now, the article needs some attention, but both Freikorp and I are concerned about getting into an edit war given that sam56mas isn't willing to enter into discussion? Surely there's a better way to go about it than just doing the edits and dealing with it once the war has kicked off so to speak. Any advice would be much appreciated. -- Deadly∀ssassin 11:04, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

Verne Swedish Titles:
1) According to Wikipedia, Verne is the second most translated author of all time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Translationum 2) Naturally, he has many translations in Swedish which, of course, means that he did not write in Swedish. The website listed below is an example http://www.jules-verne.dk/ (look under Swedish Titles) 3) The first DATED book ever authored by Jules Verne was published in Swedish in 1863 Ref.

Verne Swedish Titles:
1) According to Wikipedia, Verne is the second most translated author of all time: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Index_Translationum 2) Many of these translations are in Swedish, transcribed from the French which they originally were written in. The following website gives a history of many of these Swedish translations: http://www.jules-verne.dk/ (look under Swedish Titles) 3) What is under discussion here is Verne's first book: Five Weeks in a Balloon, or Cinq semaines en ballon. In 1862 Verne was said to have been in Stockholm, Sweden, the very place where his Swedish translation of the book, entitled, En Luftballongsresa Genom Afrika was published (in Swedish) and dated 1863. Had Verne arrived there with his original French manuscript intact, it's very possible that this book may have been translated into Swedish and then published in Sweden before it became published in France. Bear in mind that there is no dating to the French first edition, so circa 1863 is the convention which has been applied Hence, the first DATED book ever authored by Jules Verne was published in Swedish in 1863. Scans of this publication and dating are available at truescans.com/Verne-1.htm — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.91.237.221 ( talk) 15:43, 5 November 2011 (UTC)

According to wiki external links guidelines, it encourages external links in articles as long as they are directly relevant to the subject in the main article. If you plan on deleting all external links directly from the main page whether or not you are a subject matter expert, then why have the provision on the first place? The whole point of having a open encyclopedia is defeated and clearly the motivation to include content which at times can better explain concepts is low. I think if you have questions on the external link, route it to subject matter experts or the original author of the content instead of blindly deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.99.227.57 ( talk) 17:49, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Further to your protection of William Hope (actor): a Hope-related article, Submerged, has also been hit by the recent disruption (dubious, unsourced production information added here; now removed). Much of this recurring vandalism seems to stem from the 187.77... and 187.124... ranges (both apparently Brazilian-based; possibly a single, IP-hopping, anonymous contributor is responsible).
To prevent further disruption, would one or more rangeblocks be something to consider? I've checked the revision histories of some of the affected articles as far back as March and the rangeblock calculator produces the ranges 187.77.192.0/18 ( talk · contribs) (for 187.77...) and 187.124.0.0/18 ( talk · contribs) (for 187.124...).

Favonian,
Thank you for helping out with the “St. Ivan of Rila” article. I noticed that the WP:RM page has been backlogged, so I’m bringing forth my grievance to you first.
“Ivan” is the transliteration, and in this case the only acceptable translation of the Cyrillic “Ивaн”, pron. [ee’van] in Bulgarian. (“Evan” would be an even closer representation, but it wouldn’t yield nearly as many search engine hits.) “John of Rila” is a crude, ignorant, and highly arbitrary rendition of “Ивaн Рилски”. If that was an agreeable interpretation, “Kaloyan” should be anglicized as “Handsome John”, or rather “Pretty John”. That of course, would be silly. This is about a proper name of a person of great historic (and historical) significance; about the Cuthbert of that part of Europe. Let’s not make a mockery out of it. Let’s change all the “Johns” in the article to “Ivan”.
Thank you again for your help, Vkarastoyanov ( talk) 22:55, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
Favonian, I don’t want to argue with you, especially about the so called “reliable sources”, but John is not the direct equivalent of Ivan, not in Bulgarian, nor in any of the other Slavic languages, not in Scandinavia. John is related to Ivan, Jan, Johannes, Ioan, Yoan, Jean, etc., but it’s far removed. This is like calling JFK “Jean Kennedy” in French, or naming King Arthur “King Ahmed” on the Arabic Wikipedia. Sometimes, mind you, errors are self-fueled and self-perpetuated, as in the case of a few Bulgarian sites translating “St. Ivan of Rila” as “St. John” because they looked it up on Wikipedia — it is the first thing that comes up on Google. And Wikipedia (in this case you), is quoting them as reliable sources.
Re: Wikipedia names: If that is the system you follow, then you need to change “Johannes Brahms” to “John Brahms” (and so forth). Vkarastoyanov ( talk) 14:29, 19 December 2011 (UTC)
