Hello,
My apologies to be a bother, but I recently edited the Robert Kraft article on Wikipedia to include a sentence about him going to the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight. However, you later reverted the article back to the state it was in prior to its update. From what I understand, you mentioned that the reason that my edits were reverted were due to them being considered "news".
I understand the desire to keep Wikipedia strictly factual, and appreciate your moderation, but at the same time, I'm curious as to why the sentence about the Mayweather vs. McGregor fight was removed, but the paragraph above it (about a video tape featuring Kraft helping Rikki Noel Lander with an audition) can remain on the page when it is of a similar nature.
Given that Kraft regularly spends time with other celebrities, shouldn't we be allowed to mention that in his profile in some way? (If so, is there any preferred way that would be best to do that?)
Please see below for the URL that shows the particular edit that I am referencing in the above question.

Hi, This unit did not serve in Malaya. The Australian force in that campaign was the 8th Division (Australia), which did not include this regiment - its anti-tank regiment was the 2/4th. The 2/2nd would have been in the Middle East at the start of the Malayan Campaign with the rest of the 7th Division, and then crossing the Indian Ocean with that division during the later stages of the campaign. I presume that the individuals unfortunate enough to have been captured were either sent to Malaya as individuals, or were actually members of the advance party of Australian troops which arrived in Java (the 7th Division's initial destination) in early 1942 and were interned in Malaya. If a significant part of the regiment had been in Malaya, they would have all been killed or captured. Regards, Nick-D ( talk) 05:41, 16 January 2018 (UTC)

Gen. Ization:
Sorry to bother you, but I just wanted to clarify that I changed Kyle Snyder's page to attribute him being considered the best pound-for-pound wrestler in the world to this page, which is on Flowrestling, a site that functions as a journalistic clearinghouse for wrestling news and coverage and isn't known to be biased, as least as far as I've been able to tell:
It's their most current ranking since it dates to the last World Championship. But no worries if it needs to stay off the page, just wanted to make sure you knew what the change was meant to be about.
Also I can't tell if it was you or someone else, the username looks defunct now, but this is why I've followed Mr. Snyder's career:
Sorry if this isn't the proper way to respond, but as you can see I don't have much time to edit on here. I have no familial relationship to Kyle Snyder, my handle is just a goofy personal nickname. He wrestled in my area in high school and I followed his career, and thought it'd be nice to work on his Wikipedia page since I was so impressed by how he handled himself in the limelight and how amiable he seemed to other wrestlers. And I'm not an IT professional but at one point had enough time to learn Wikipedia's codes. I'm sure Wikipedia's editors can edit his page for accuracy and otherwise, sorry for any trouble.

Thank you General. I have changed dozens this evening and this editor has reverted all edits and accused me of vandalism. It would be very nice if they would engage in constructive discourse with me and understand my position rather than removing my edits, talk page discussion and accusations of my constructive conduct. 2602:306:8B8C:29A0:70A4:BD5C:FF8B:FDE4 ( talk) 03:56, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
I find it ironic to be asked to be the one to make amends or leave the IP alone, when the IP clearly was being WP:UNCIVIL and personally attacked my age/intelligence:
Oh are you older than 12? I would have guessed about seven, seeing that you do not know what the category means or even know who Al Capone or Charles Manson were?
Well, it would seem that you have come to your senses and are now working with collaboration in mind. I can merely see it from my side with your calling me a vandal, disruptive and an editor that would surely be blocked. You came off as stuffy and disrespectful to someone that was being constructive and trying to help with the work of Wikipedia. You assume because I am an IP, I have not been here before. In fact, I have been an editor on and off for at least ten years (though did not try to "pull rank" on you). Perhaps, if you apologize and admit that you were incorrect in your above assertions. I would reciprocate with an apology of my own. You sir, are the person who should be kinder and calmer now that all your reverts have been reversed by the General. (Thank you to the General). In closing, I surely hope that you have learned a thing or two about Categories and who belongs in them and when. Have a good night and I accept your apology!

Hi guys. I got pinged here, so I'll add my .02¢ to the discussion, though I'm only peripherally involved. I don't have the appetite to get into the "detainees" category dispute too deeply right now, but here are some quick observations for all parties to consider:
So while the initial deletions may have been made in good faith, the stronger argument supports changing edits like this one from a deletion into a category change. Change it to the "Prisoners who died..." subcategory instead. And on edits such as this one, the deletion of the "American prisoners and detainees" categories should be reversed as long as the guidance on that category continues to instruct us to include "past" detainees. If you want more information on why this category includes both "past" and current detainees, this discussion touches on several of the pro & con arguments made a decade ago on this very category (see also this edit).
While I've just given plenty of arguments in support of reinstating (or modifying) many of the deleted categories, there is a caveat. You'll note above that General Ization gave the excellent suggestion to raise your issue at WP:BLPN, and I can't stress enough that BLP concerns may supersede the guidance provided on category pages, and trumping my arguments. So let me echo GI's advice that you first raise your concern at BLPN to determine if there is any issue with leaving "detainee" categories on the biographies of living people. (FYI: Be sure you are well-versed in WP:BLPCAT and WP:CATDEFINING before presenting your concerns.) Then if you are really ambitious, you can attempt to get all of the aforementioned categories standardized across Wikipedia by starting a community-wide RfC on the matter at the Village Pump, but be sure to leave notifications at WikiProject Categories, WikiProject Detention Facilities, etc. Regards, Xenophrenic ( talk) 21:14, 19 February 2018 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors February 2018 News
Welcome to the February 2018 GOCE newsletter in which you will find Guild updates since the December edition. We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9 days. Coordinator elections: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2018 were elected. Jonesey95 remained as lead coordinator and Corrine, Miniapolis and Tdslk as assistant coordinators. Keira1996 stepped down as assistant coordinator and was replaced by Reidgreg. Thanks to all who participated! End of year reports were prepared for 2016 and 2017, providing a detailed look at the Guild's long-term progress. January drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2017 from our backlog and all December 2017 Requests (a total of 275 articles). As with previous years, the January drive was an outstanding success and by the end of the month all but 57 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21 editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256 words). February blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on Requests and the last articles tagged in May 2017. At the end of the week there were only 14 pending requests, with none older than 20 days. Of the 11 who signed up, 10 editors completed 35 copy edits (98,538 words). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Reidgreg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from
our mailing list.

that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.I just saw that comment of yours. What happened was I tried to make a small edit but for some reason it wasn't showing. So I kept trying but nothing. So I decided to see if any edit shows, I first removed a few texts & it didn't show then I removed an entire para but even that didn't show. In the end I decided to leave it as it was but that wasn't happening cause someone had already edited that page. I wondered who that was & saw that was you. I didn't obsessed over it cause that's what I was about to do before leaving that page & didn't realise you had left a comment for me. By the way the next day that small edit I made was showing, so may be there was some problem with it that the result of the edit wasn't showing immediately but after sometime. 103.48.58.226 ( talk) 08:18, 3 March 2018 (UTC)

General, Sir,
I strongly disagree with your assertion that "CNN" is a reliable source on the matter discussed (Trump Organization revenue) There is a substantial debate as to Trump's net worth and in that debate is substantial evidence, including court records, that Trump relentlessly worked to inflate his revenue, wealth estimations, etc. at Forbes, at PrivCo., and succeeded. Rather than delve into the debate, best to remove the dodgy figures.
BUT the fundamental problem: CNN's headline says that the Trump Org is America's 47th largest company when we know (as I've cited elsewhere in the article) the Trump Organization is not a company. And thus the PrivCo claim is clearly nonsense and CNN is lazy for relaying the report. The Trump Org is a marketing name that refers to around 500 LLCs, partnerships, etc. (and we don't even know if he owned 100% of each, or 51% of each, or 2% of each, and we will never find out unless Trump puts out his tax returns in full).
And saying the Trump Organization is a company that has 22,000 employees is also bullshit because, again, it is not a company.
I'm not trying to make a value judgment but some basic logic is needed here.
So, respectfully, I will remove the revenues and employee #'s from the article.
Thanks!

I find all five of those articles extremely frustrating, in their lack of a standardized format; and especially in the difficulty in finding, for the US, "when is the first day of spring", etc. The US follows equinoxes and solstices, as determined by the U.S. Naval Observatory, Astronomical Applications Department [2], rather than calendar months as some other countries do.

you deleted my change to kingdom hearts when the change was totally acceptable, i could potentially get banned soon for making changes like this!!!!!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by KeybladeKingdom ( talk • contribs) 19:52, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
I kind of agree with KeybladeKingdom, they didn't really do anything wrong, and their youtube is pretty cool too, maybey you should let some minor things like this slip so things aren't all so serious here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IdrinkBLEACH ( talk • contribs) 23:17, 18 February 2018 (UTC)
This IP is going through almost every article and removing the same category. R9tgokunks ✡ 03:43, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
Thank you General. I have changed dozens this evening and this editor has reverted all edits and accused me of vandalism. It would be very nice if they would engage in constructive discourse with me and understand my position rather than removing my edits, talk page discussion and accusations of my constructive conduct. 2602:306:8B8C:29A0:70A4:BD5C:FF8B:FDE4 ( talk) 03:56, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
I find it ironic to be asked to be the one to make amends or leave the IP alone, when the IP clearly was being WP:UNCIVIL and personally attacked my age/intelligence:
Oh are you older than 12? I would have guessed about seven, seeing that you do not know what the category means or even know who Al Capone or Charles Manson were?
Well, it would seem that you have come to your senses and are now working with collaboration in mind. I can merely see it from my side with your calling me a vandal, disruptive and an editor that would surely be blocked. You came off as stuffy and disrespectful to someone that was being constructive and trying to help with the work of Wikipedia. You assume because I am an IP, I have not been here before. In fact, I have been an editor on and off for at least ten years (though did not try to "pull rank" on you). Perhaps, if you apologize and admit that you were incorrect in your above assertions. I would reciprocate with an apology of my own. You sir, are the person who should be kinder and calmer now that all your reverts have been reversed by the General. (Thank you to the General). In closing, I surely hope that you have learned a thing or two about Categories and who belongs in them and when. Have a good night and I accept your apology!

Hi guys. I got pinged here, so I'll add my .02¢ to the discussion, though I'm only peripherally involved. I don't have the appetite to get into the "detainees" category dispute too deeply right now, but here are some quick observations for all parties to consider:
So while the initial deletions may have been made in good faith, the stronger argument supports changing edits like this one from a deletion into a category change. Change it to the "Prisoners who died..." subcategory instead. And on edits such as this one, the deletion of the "American prisoners and detainees" categories should be reversed as long as the guidance on that category continues to instruct us to include "past" detainees. If you want more information on why this category includes both "past" and current detainees, this discussion touches on several of the pro & con arguments made a decade ago on this very category (see also this edit).
While I've just given plenty of arguments in support of reinstating (or modifying) many of the deleted categories, there is a caveat. You'll note above that General Ization gave the excellent suggestion to raise your issue at WP:BLPN, and I can't stress enough that BLP concerns may supersede the guidance provided on category pages, and trumping my arguments. So let me echo GI's advice that you first raise your concern at BLPN to determine if there is any issue with leaving "detainee" categories on the biographies of living people. (FYI: Be sure you are well-versed in WP:BLPCAT and WP:CATDEFINING before presenting your concerns.) Then if you are really ambitious, you can attempt to get all of the aforementioned categories standardized across Wikipedia by starting a community-wide RfC on the matter at the Village Pump, but be sure to leave notifications at WikiProject Categories, WikiProject Detention Facilities, etc. Regards, Xenophrenic ( talk) 21:14, 19 February 2018 (UTC)
I just wanted to make a point about vandalism and how Wikipedia is a good source of information even though it can be edited by random people like me. I know that what I did broke a rule and it wont happen again. Most of my edits are good (besides the last one ☺). Stega BOB ( talk) 22:40, 23 February 2018 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors February 2018 News
Welcome to the February 2018 GOCE newsletter in which you will find Guild updates since the December edition. We got to a great start for the year, holding the backlog at nine months. 100 requests were submitted in the first 6 weeks of the year and were swiftly handled with an average completion time of 9 days. Coordinator elections: In December, coordinators for the first half of 2018 were elected. Jonesey95 remained as lead coordinator and Corrine, Miniapolis and Tdslk as assistant coordinators. Keira1996 stepped down as assistant coordinator and was replaced by Reidgreg. Thanks to all who participated! End of year reports were prepared for 2016 and 2017, providing a detailed look at the Guild's long-term progress. January drive: We set out to remove April, May, and June 2017 from our backlog and all December 2017 Requests (a total of 275 articles). As with previous years, the January drive was an outstanding success and by the end of the month all but 57 of these articles were cleared. Officially, of the 38 who signed up, 21 editors recorded 259 copy edits (490,256 words). February blitz: This one-week copy-editing blitz ran from 11 through 17 February, focusing on Requests and the last articles tagged in May 2017. At the end of the week there were only 14 pending requests, with none older than 20 days. Of the 11 who signed up, 10 editors completed 35 copy edits (98,538 words). Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators: Jonesey95, Miniapolis, Corinne, Tdslk, and Reidgreg. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from

that edit filter managers may use to check if one or more strings are all contained in another given string.I just saw that comment of yours. What happened was I tried to make a small edit but for some reason it wasn't showing. So I kept trying but nothing. So I decided to see if any edit shows, I first removed a few texts & it didn't show then I removed an entire para but even that didn't show. In the end I decided to leave it as it was but that wasn't happening cause someone had already edited that page. I wondered who that was & saw that was you. I didn't obsessed over it cause that's what I was about to do before leaving that page & didn't realise you had left a comment for me. By the way the next day that small edit I made was showing, so may be there was some problem with it that the result of the edit wasn't showing immediately but after sometime. 103.48.58.226 ( talk) 08:18, 3 March 2018 (UTC)
However, I altered the spelling to 'neighbor' to bring it in line with 'tumor', earlier in the paragraph. Is 'tumor' the correct spelling for that particular page, or does it need changing to 'tumour'? Muinn ( talk) 19:20, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
Clearly it received the attention of some bored editors on International Women's Day. I tried to revert, but I seem to keep making errors in doing roll-backs. Are you able to take the article back to where it used to be a couple of days ago? If not, I'll go through it section by section. Thanks for any help you can offer. Carbon Caryatid ( talk) 09:41, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
Much appreciated re Womyn. I don't usually have much need to tangle with bored vandals, thank goodness, and so perhaps lack the tools. Could I ask you to have a look at Kendrick School, and take appropriate action? Thank you. Carbon Caryatid ( talk) 19:53, 9 March 2018 (UTC)
This article is in need of protection. It is savings time not saving time at least in the US, nor is it slaving time I assume anywhere. I missed the "IT’S DAYLIGHT SAVINGSSS" in the most recent edit but had changed that back before. Jackfork ( talk) 23:10, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

hank you for your correction. But it is very hard to cite a reliable source, means it is very tought to type that http formats. I tried very hard but still i can't understand how to write http formats. But the information is correct and it is very necessary to add this on the Fantastic Beasts page. Please if you can able to do it i will be very grateful to you. Uchihaitachina ( talk) 10:21, 16 March 2018 (UTC) Uchihaitachina ( talk) 10:21, 16 March 2018 (UTC)
General, Sir,
I strongly disagree with your assertion that "CNN" is a reliable source on the matter discussed (Trump Organization revenue) There is a substantial debate as to Trump's net worth and in that debate is substantial evidence, including court records, that Trump relentlessly worked to inflate his revenue, wealth estimations, etc. at Forbes, at PrivCo., and succeeded. Rather than delve into the debate, best to remove the dodgy figures.
BUT the fundamental problem: CNN's headline says that the Trump Org is America's 47th largest company when we know (as I've cited elsewhere in the article) the Trump Organization is not a company. And thus the PrivCo claim is clearly nonsense and CNN is lazy for relaying the report. The Trump Org is a marketing name that refers to around 500 LLCs, partnerships, etc. (and we don't even know if he owned 100% of each, or 51% of each, or 2% of each, and we will never find out unless Trump puts out his tax returns in full).
And saying the Trump Organization is a company that has 22,000 employees is also bullshit because, again, it is not a company.
I'm not trying to make a value judgment but some basic logic is needed here.
So, respectfully, I will remove the revenues and employee #'s from the article.
Thanks!

I left a message on Talk:Spring (season)#Cultural associations, which you marked as minor with no edit summary to explain your reversion of my edits. Hope to hear from you. Thanks, Tony Holkham (Talk) 09:56, 19 March 2018 (UTC)
Just a friendly note that after my edits on both were initially reverted I engaged the reverter on both talk pages and got no response on talk pages. - Aliceba ( talk) 15:46, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
@ General Ization:: we report on significant others in infoboxes and most articles have a personal life section. -- Aliceba ( talk) 15:52, 20 March 2018 (UTC)
I didn't ignore it, I didn't see it - if I had seen it, I would have asked.
I find all five of those articles extremely frustrating, in their lack of a standardized format; and especially in the difficulty in finding, for the US, "when is the first day of spring", etc. The US follows equinoxes and solstices, as determined by the U.S. Naval Observatory, Astronomical Applications Department [2], rather than calendar months as some other countries do.

Hi, General. About that Las Vegas shooting article: I appreciate your efforts to keep it clean and problem-free. I am trying to be conservative about protection, as we are supposed to be, but I have it on my watchlist and will continue to add semi-protection whenever it seems to be needed. If you notice the article getting out of control again, and I don't catch it promptly, ping me or tell me at my talk page; and if I don't respond (I do travel a fair amount), ask someone else. -- MelanieN ( talk) 03:02, 1 April 2018 (UTC)
