Hello. Regarding the recent reverts you made: You may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the
sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. When you go along just reverting vandalism, the failure to place a warning on their talk page does nothing to get them blocked. Thank you.

Maybe you check first the existing references on a page before deciding that something is vandalism? Otherwise you are the vandal. -- Tauʻolunga ( talk) 07:26, 3 February 2010 (UTC) http://atenisi.edu.to/latest/latest.html#mate
Hi, I reverted your source change for the birth year and pointed you to a discussion about using ancestry.com. Not only is it not reliable, many users, of course, can't really use it without paying money. Also, although I couldn't fit it in to the explanation, look at other cited sources in the article that question whether the birth year is 1958 or 1959. I agree with you that it should remain 1958, but you'd have to find a better source for it.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 00:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Greets:
I noticed your edit on the discussion page for 168.215.131.150. Please see my request just above it for a prem block for that IP address. Not sure what the procedure is but most if not all the edits in the past made have been vandalism and there's no way to prevent this unless we require for to have accounts. Not sure what the procedure is for that but I;ve noticed it elsewhere done for troublsome ip addresses. I;m assuming your discussion edit is a copy and paste and you didn;t noticed the very long page about the previous problems.

Sir - You recently added Public Welfare Medal with a citation to this article. Then you added Category:National Academy of Sciences laureates. Does the Public Welfare Medal imply being a laureate of the National Academy of Sciences? I looked through their website and found no mention of Fairchild.

Hi GcSwRhIc,
As you have had involvement with this IP address: User talk:141.70.82.221 over the past few days, I am hoping that you might review what I see as the latest piece of annoying vandalism. I am a little cagey about reverting because of my work on this article that came up on the Special Pages today – possible NPOV on my part. The article is Saraikistan Movement, a stub with a ref that I thought might be worth a helping hand. I had to copy/edit hone down and add cats, stubs and links, but I think its worth developing. User:141.70.82.221’s hit and run took off information that was verified in the cite. I would have normally shrugged this one off but I see that this user IP has been vandalising other articles. Is it time to put a stop? – I’ll leave it up to your good judgement. Best wishes, Acabashi ( talk) 21:57, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your opinion on my edit re; 2011 Sendai Earthquake, although I did specifically state, in face of the unusual request, allegedly by Japan, and reiterated by the UN spokeswoman that "only a handful" of rescue teams from specific nations were requested by Japan, in what may be considered a denial, or I should say, lack of awareness to the seriousness of the disastrous situation. I think all users are aware how Japan can in fact use all the help it can get under the actual circumstances. 66.214.170.230 ( talk) 13:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

How is what I am doing vandalism?

Under arbitration cases, you will see that there are a number of adminstrators who have been sanctioned for abusive sockpuppetry or other inappropriate actions, and I strongly suspect that Zagalejo may be among them because of his writing style - which is suspiciously like that of the blocked user -Ril-. -- DiehardNFFLbarnone ( talk) 23:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Your response was a wee bit precipitate and also inaccurate. You made an assumption without first inquiring as to the facts. You ASSUMED original research, which it is NOT. That comment was culled from local newspapers of recent times, and is widely accepted as truthful by Southampton people. Including those like myself from who's front door can see the school referred to, and is not a half-mile from where Titanic sailed. I'll inquire about the precise location of the newspaper reference. Meanwhile, a less confrontational and a more co-operative tone is recommended. 86.162.56.164 ( talk) 10:53, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

14:05, 30 March 2011 (UTC)Your editing manners are no doubt pretty rude. As I have still been working on building the article of the leading slovak actress (see template Under Construction), you may rather contribute to Wikipedia by creating your own articles than changing the ones of which language you don't likely understand.

In regards to your undo and comment ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dbgoodman):
It is detailed in depth in the sources at the bottom of the article and further sources are given for this in the text in specific sections. You will also notice that his Nobel Prize in Physiology has no citation in the summary section, as it is detailed below in its own section in the main text. For good measure, I found two additional sources and put them after the sentence, though it looks odd to have now three citations to follow this broad summary sentence.
Rather than deleting my addition, it would have been just as easy for you to read the article to see that there were several references to his collaborationism and eugenics work for Vichy France in the main text that were all properly cited. This is a major part of his legacy, and thus I felt that it was important that it be mentioned in his introductory blurb. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbgoodman ( talk • contribs) 15:11, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

I reverted the page back. I have a feeling that you are taking an interest in my posts. I am not malicious, but like some people are interested in cars, boats, and such I am interested in making sure Jewish people are properly identified. This is not a crime nor is it in violation of wiki rules. Background of people is important and I make sure that it is known, at least for this particular group. I am doing a service.
As to Rossum, she is Jewish. If you yourself are not Jewish then I would have you ask your Jewish friends (if you have any) to confirm that the only requirement, for sure, to be a Jew is a Jewish mother. Whether she practices or not is not the question; or even self identifies. In Jewish culture she would have to forever renounce her Jew and excommunicate herself from her people. Jews as a group can excommunicate individuals but this is very, very rare. The most notable example in Western eyes would be Spinoza. So my point is YOU would have to CITE or REFERENCE that event, the event of her renunciation. It is your burden, not mine. I simply "enhanced" her page with the already included fact that her mother was a Jew and therefore she is a Jew. GegenIsrael ( talk) 19:22, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
I have done as you asked. On the Howard Stern Show of 4/7/2011 she clearly stated, "I'm a Jewish girl." This is a direct, first hand source- one of the highest classes of proof. This occurred approximately in the 1hr 11m of the show, excluding commercials. GegenIsrael ( talk) 19:26, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello. Could you please explain your rationale for removing The Hunger Games from this article? Is there an RFC or some other community consensus on pre-production films in the filmography table? WP:CRYSTAL is clearly not it. WP:CRYSTAL is about unverifiable speculation. There are plenty of news sources that confirm Jennifer Lawrence, including IMDB, as seen on The Hunger Games article. It isn't speculation and has enough sources to meet WP:GNG. Thanks.--v/r - T P 00:28, 12 April 2011 (UTC)

O, I definitely read the notablity guidelines before adding the tag alright, how do you think I found the tag in the first place? Realize that all those I tagged are basically resumes copied from their department pages - probably made by overzealous editors who needed extra edit count for their ego or the person in question themselves. You do realize there are literally MILLIONS of academics who could be added by the flimsy requirement of a few journal citations or "o this person is a professor and has a resume online" - which as I read the guidelines again I do not find. Just for being a professor at a university is clearly not enough for notablity. You know what - wikipedia sucks - it has special interest articles everywhere such as every random village or constellation in some database - clearly made by zealous people after edit count...but no article on a major mountain that sits across 2 states. And when you try to help by pointing out a few academics who clearly don't deserve an article in an encylopedia, you get ganged up by people just because you're an "IP editor" and that somehow makes you inferior.

Thanks for informing me regarding the particulars of editing filmographies. I understand that the movie I listed Ms. Cotillard in is yet to be released, however, she has signed on for the film and if it is a matter of verification the notes already exist within the page (I didn't want to rewrite the same note). If the matter is regarding the film's release, then I urge you to look at the myriad of wikipedia articles that have listed forthcoming projects in the same manner as I had done so. A few examples are in the pages of Cobie Smulders (actress), the Batman film series, Christopher Nolan (director), and Christian Bale (actor). I hope this clarifies everything. If you still feel that the addition was improper, do keep it as it is. However, should the policies of wikipedia allow for the original change, I would appreciate it to be returned for the benefit of the article. As I do not have an account here, the best I can do is ask you to post a request for someone else to fill it in (if the original cannot be recovered); facts need to be written. Thank you again for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.131.13.5 ( talk) 16:01, 21 April 2011 (UTC)

To the editor of the Niels Bohr page
You have several times told me I am vandalising ? the page about Niels Bohr
Because I put accurate informantion in it: About af few points I have investigated - by reading the note nr. 6: About Niels Bohrs meeting with Roosevelt in august 1944 and with Churchill maj 1944. And read about the same topic in Robert Jungk's book "Brighter than a thousand Suns" (published first 1956) page 160.
I have also read note 20 - all Bohrs notes after the war about his meeting with Heisenberg in 1941 (released by his son Aage Bohr) and Michael Frayn's postscript about the same meeting in the latest edition of his play "Copenhagen". (First published 1998). And Heisenberg's letter about the same meeting printed in Jungk's book page 100.
And I have written theese sources many times as comments, to describe why I did the editing? And still I am attacked again and again for vandalising the page? Even when I just use those common sources and notes - used and placed allready at the page??
I believe facts are facts. And it is only possible to edit and change the text after the use of such reliable documents, as I mention here?
Why do you then again and again attack for me for vandalising the page?
I am a new costumer - and highly surprised of this manner?
Yours Viggoodin from Denmark — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viggoodin ( talk • contribs) 14:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your answers.
I am sure you do good work in Wikepedia.
As a new costumer, I am quite unfamiliar with all procedures, but I could read it is possible directly to change and edit texts with credible information.
I have now put many comments on my changes - about 10-15 times - and refer to sources allready named at the page!
I have even mastered to put in several referings to sources - even I dount understand the technic!
Very often informations om Wikepedia are not sourced!
But writing in one place: Bohr and Heisenberg never left written information about the meeting in 1941! - and then among the notes refer to Bohrs notes about exacly that meeting released in 2002 and Heisenbergs letter in 1955 to Jungk (about this meeting) printed on page 100 in his book - is clearly necessary to change!
I have researched all my edits properly before I edited anything.
And named all my sources many times in the comments - see history!!
I understand this type of conflicts are the conditions in Wikepedia - and I like the project.
And hope my edits now stay in the texts. Or we must discuss it further.
After all - my sources are named quite clear - and given several times in my comments?
So what's wrong? I dount get it?
Nice you do editing anyway. Thanks! But do it rightly!
Yours sincerely

FINE ART EDIT-A-THON & DC MEETUP 26 is December 17! The Edit-a-Thon will cover fine art subjects from the Federal Art Project and the meet up will involve Wikipedians from the area as well as Wiki-loving GLAM professionals. You don't have to attend both to attend one (but we hope you do!) Click the link above and sign up & spread the word! See you there! SarahStierch ( talk) 20:43, 26 November 2011 (UTC) |
You are invited to the
National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my
stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!
This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic· t 01:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |

Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!
We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.
Please see the full information at Wikipedia:GLAM/NARA/Coordinator and contact me is you have any questions. Feel free to pass this note along to any interested parties. Thanks! Dominic· t 21:03, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello. Regarding the recent reverts you made: You may already know about them, but you might find
Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the
sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. When you go along just reverting vandalism, the failure to place a warning on their talk page does nothing to get them blocked. Thank you.

Hi, I reverted your source change for the birth year and pointed you to a discussion about using ancestry.com. Not only is it not reliable, many users, of course, can't really use it without paying money. Also, although I couldn't fit it in to the explanation, look at other cited sources in the article that question whether the birth year is 1958 or 1959. I agree with you that it should remain 1958, but you'd have to find a better source for it.-- Bbb23 ( talk) 00:22, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

I noticed your edit on the discussion page for 168.215.131.150. Please see my request just above it for a prem block for that IP address. Not sure what the procedure is but most if not all the edits in the past made have been vandalism and there's no way to prevent this unless we require for to have accounts. Not sure what the procedure is for that but I;ve noticed it elsewhere done for troublsome ip addresses. I;m assuming your discussion edit is a copy and paste and you didn;t noticed the very long page about the previous problems.

Sir - You recently added Public Welfare Medal with a citation to this article. Then you added Category:National Academy of Sciences laureates.

Hi GcSwRhIc,
As you have had involvement with this IP address: User talk:141.70.82.221 over the past few days, I am hoping that you might review what I see as the latest piece of annoying vandalism. I am a little cagey about reverting because of my work on this article that came up on the Special Pages today – possible NPOV on my part. The article is Saraikistan Movement, a stub with a ref that I thought might be worth a helping hand. I had to copy/edit hone down and add cats, stubs and links, but I think its worth developing. User:141.70.82.221’s hit and run took off information that was verified in the cite. I would have normally shrugged this one off but I see that this user IP has been vandalising other articles. Is it time to put a stop? – I’ll leave it up to your good judgement. Best wishes, Acabashi ( talk) 21:57, 19 February 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your opinion on my edit re; 2011 Sendai Earthquake, although I did specifically state, in face of the unusual request, allegedly by Japan, and reiterated by the UN spokeswoman that "only a handful" of rescue teams from specific nations were requested by Japan, in what may be considered a denial, or I should say, lack of awareness to the seriousness of the disastrous situation. I think all users are aware how Japan can in fact use all the help it can get under the actual circumstances. 66.214.170.230 ( talk) 13:44, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Under arbitration cases, you will see that there are a number of adminstrators who have been sanctioned for abusive sockpuppetry or other inappropriate actions, and I strongly suspect that Zagalejo may be among them because of his writing style - which is suspiciously like that of the blocked user -Ril-. -- DiehardNFFLbarnone ( talk) 23:23, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Your response was a wee bit precipitate and also inaccurate. You made an assumption without first inquiring as to the facts. You ASSUMED original research, which it is NOT. That comment was culled from local newspapers of recent times, and is widely accepted as truthful by Southampton people. Including those like myself from who's front door can see the school referred to, and is not a half-mile from where Titanic sailed. I'll inquire about the precise location of the newspaper reference. Meanwhile, a less confrontational and a more co-operative tone is recommended. 86.162.56.164 ( talk) 10:53, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

In regards to your undo and comment ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Dbgoodman):
It is detailed in depth in the sources at the bottom of the article and further sources are given for this in the text in specific sections. You will also notice that his Nobel Prize in Physiology has no citation in the summary section, as it is detailed below in its own section in the main text. For good measure, I found two additional sources and put them after the sentence, though it looks odd to have now three citations to follow this broad summary sentence.
Rather than deleting my addition, it would have been just as easy for you to read the article to see that there were several references to his collaborationism and eugenics work for Vichy France in the main text that were all properly cited. This is a major part of his legacy, and thus I felt that it was important that it be mentioned in his introductory blurb. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbgoodman ( talk • contribs) 15:11, 8 April 2011 (UTC)

I reverted the page back. I have a feeling that you are taking an interest in my posts. I am not malicious, but like some people are interested in cars, boats, and such I am interested in making sure Jewish people are properly identified. This is not a crime nor is it in violation of wiki rules. Background of people is important and I make sure that it is known, at least for this particular group. I am doing a service.
As to Rossum, she is Jewish. If you yourself are not Jewish then I would have you ask your Jewish friends (if you have any) to confirm that the only requirement, for sure, to be a Jew is a Jewish mother. Whether she practices or not is not the question; or even self identifies. In Jewish culture she would have to forever renounce her Jew and excommunicate herself from her people. Jews as a group can excommunicate individuals but this is very, very rare. The most notable example in Western eyes would be Spinoza. So my point is YOU would have to CITE or REFERENCE that event, the event of her renunciation. It is your burden, not mine. I simply "enhanced" her page with the already included fact that her mother was a Jew and therefore she is a Jew. GegenIsrael ( talk) 19:22, 10 April 2011 (UTC)
I have done as you asked. On the Howard Stern Show of 4/7/2011 she clearly stated, "I'm a Jewish girl." This is a direct, first hand source- one of the highest classes of proof.

O, I definitely read the notablity guidelines before adding the tag alright, how do you think I found the tag in the first place? Realize that all those I tagged are basically resumes copied from their department pages - probably made by overzealous editors who needed extra edit count for their ego or the person in question themselves. You do realize there are literally MILLIONS of academics who could be added by the flimsy requirement of a few journal citations or "o this person is a professor and has a resume online" - which as I read the guidelines again I do not find. Just for being a professor at a university is clearly not enough for notablity. You know what - wikipedia sucks - it has special interest articles everywhere such as every random village or constellation in some database - clearly made by zealous people after edit count...but no article on a major mountain that sits across 2 states. And when you try to help by pointing out a few academics who clearly don't deserve an article in an encylopedia, you get ganged up by people just because you're an "IP editor" and that somehow makes you inferior.

Thanks for informing me regarding the particulars of editing filmographies. I understand that the movie I listed Ms. Cotillard in is yet to be released, however, she has signed on for the film and if it is a matter of verification the notes already exist within the page (I didn't want to rewrite the same note). If the matter is regarding the film's release, then I urge you to look at the myriad of wikipedia articles that have listed forthcoming projects in the same manner as I had done so. A few examples are in the pages of Cobie Smulders (actress), the Batman film series, Christopher Nolan (director), and Christian Bale (actor). I hope this clarifies everything. If you still feel that the addition was improper, do keep it as it is. However, should the policies of wikipedia allow for the original change, I would appreciate it to be returned for the benefit of the article. As I do not have an account here, the best I can do is ask you to post a request for someone else to fill it in (if the original cannot be recovered); facts need to be written.

To the editor of the Niels Bohr page
You have several times told me I am vandalising ? the page about Niels Bohr
Because I put accurate informantion in it: About af few points I have investigated - by reading the note nr. 6: About Niels Bohrs meeting with Roosevelt in august 1944 and with Churchill maj 1944. And read about the same topic in Robert Jungk's book "Brighter than a thousand Suns" (published first 1956) page 160.
I have also read note 20 - all Bohrs notes after the war about his meeting with Heisenberg in 1941 (released by his son Aage Bohr) and Michael Frayn's postscript about the same meeting in the latest edition of his play "Copenhagen". (First published 1998). And Heisenberg's letter about the same meeting printed in Jungk's book page 100.
And I have written theese sources many times as comments, to describe why I did the editing? And still I am attacked again and again for vandalising the page? Even when I just use those common sources and notes - used and placed allready at the page??
I believe facts are facts. And it is only possible to edit and change the text after the use of such reliable documents, as I mention here?
Why do you then again and again attack for me for vandalising the page?
I am a new costumer - and highly surprised of this manner?
Yours Viggoodin from Denmark — Preceding unsigned comment added by Viggoodin ( talk • contribs) 14:03, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for your answers.
I am sure you do good work in Wikepedia.
As a new costumer, I am quite unfamiliar with all procedures, but I could read it is possible directly to change and edit texts with credible information.
I have now put many comments on my changes - about 10-15 times - and refer to sources allready named at the page!
I have even mastered to put in several referings to sources - even I dount understand the technic!
Very often informations om Wikepedia are not sourced!
But writing in one place: Bohr and Heisenberg never left written information about the meeting in 1941! - and then among the notes refer to Bohrs notes about exacly that meeting released in 2002 and Heisenbergs letter in 1955 to Jungk (about this meeting) printed on page 100 in his book - is clearly necessary to change!
I have researched all my edits properly before I edited anything.
And named all my sources many times in the comments - see history!!
I understand this type of conflicts are the conditions in Wikepedia - and I like the project.
And hope my edits now stay in the texts. Or we must discuss it further.
After all - my sources are named quite clear - and given several times in my comments?
So what's wrong? I dount get it?
Nice you do editing anyway. Thanks! But do it rightly!

The bottom line is, people who grew and and still live outside and in South Baltimore call it South Baltimore regardless of what you want to call it. And you screwed up the history of the area. There were no great numbers of vacant houses in South Baltimore. No matter how you spin it, your article is not accurate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 32.178.4.77 ( talk) 02:33, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Let me know when you upload the USS Iowa and Signal Corps photos. I definitely want to have a second look at them. Thanks! -- Cyde Weys 00:57, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
I have replied on my talk page. -- Cyde Weys 20:59, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
It was recently suggested that WikiProject Maryland might be inactive or semiactive and it might be beneficial to include it in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. I have started a discussion on the projects talk page soliciting the opinions of the members of the project if this project would be interested in being supported by WikiProject United States. Please feel free to comment on your opinions about this suggestion. -- Kumioko ( talk) 03:09, 16 August 2011 (UTC)
Actually, MOS bio states that if the full dates are in the text or info box, they are not needed in the lede. Which makes sense, since we want to keep the lede free of clutter. — kwami ( talk) 17:36, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

You are invited to the
National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my
stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!
This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic· t 01:05, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |

Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!
We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.
Please see the full information at Wikipedia:GLAM/NARA/Coordinator and contact me is you have any questions. Feel free to pass this note along to any interested parties. Thanks! Dominic· t 21:03, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
