This is your only warning; if you violate Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy by inserting unsourced or poorly sourced defamatory content into an article or any other Wikipedia page again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. This warning relates to this edit. I can see that you then went ahead and added proper sourcing to the article but as a result of the way you did it, the article continued to carry poorly referenced defamatory material about living people for longer than it needed to. If you want me to explain BLP to you, you know where my talk page is, and there are also plenty of central discussions where people can explain how it works. I strongly advise not registering your dissent in this way again because it will result in a block for you, something I am sure we would both regard as a bad thing. -- John ( talk) 10:43, 8 November 2014 (UTC)

The report details 11 accounts run by Adebowale, with seven of those disabled by the company concerned and one closed by Adebowale himself.The ISC’s report says that the technology company closed the accounts in an automated manner for violation of the company’s terms of service. Two accounts were closed for non-terrorism related activities, but the other five were disabled for terrorism-associated reasons, including one for being part of terrorist groups. While no technology company would comment on the report to the Guardian, it is known that the posts were made in a private manner that wasn’t indexed by a search engine, that the accounts could be members of groups and that the company has automated systems for detecting and closing accounts for breach of terms of service. [3]
In other words, it is possible that no human at Facebook knew that a threat to kill had been made in one of the posts, but we still don't know.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 11:27, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
Earlier today I read your involvement in the darknet, undocumented wiki article and then later on I see you are involved in the kickass torrents wiki, so I figure this is a sign and you are the "go to" person for my recent ponderings. I've been active on KAT for several years and over that time I've become suspicious that it is being funded and/or supported by possibly the chinese or north korean government or proxies therefrom. I have no substantive evidence to believe this, save for a lot of very small anecdotes that when added up can only be explained by the idea that in all aspects KAT has no regard for individual rights or freedoms, nothing about electronic rights or anti-government, anti-state sentiment, nothing that could reasonably considered "pirate-like" save for the fact that they simply enjoy stealing the west's corporate intellectual property, and in all other aspects their culture is reflective of a very common, pro-government, pro-state and anti-capitalist sentiment found in communist/state-dominated countries.
It's a theory, and I could be completely wrong, but my instinct on this is strong and will not let me just "forget about it". TPB went down today, which is what has prompted me to act on these concerns, and I thought perhaps you might have some interest in this and possibly have something useful.

My Dearest One,
This is Miss Olivia Borrego from Trinidad &Tobago. I am writing from the hospital in Ivory Coast , therefore this mail is very urgent as you can see that I'm dying in the hospital which I don't know what tomorrow will be. I was told by my doctor that I was poisoned and has got my liver damaged and can only live for some months. I inherited some money ($4.5 Million) from my late father and I cannot think of anybody trying to kill me apart from my step mother in order to inherit the money, she is an Ivorian by nationality. I want you to contact my servant with this information below: Servant Jonathan Walter. Address: Rue De La Princess L /G 152 Cocody Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire. Email: jtnwalter@yahoo.co.jp Phone Number: +225 678 240 66 He will give you the documents of the money and will direct you to a well known lawyer that I have appointed to him, the lawyer will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name to enable the bank transfer the money to you. This is the favor I need when you have gotten the money :- (1) Give 20% of the money to my servant Walter as he has been there for me through my illness and I have promised to support him in life. I want you to take him along with you to your country and establish him as your son. (2) Give 30% of the money to handicap people and charity organization, then the remaining one is yours. Note; This should be a code between you and my Servant Walter in this transaction "Hospital" any mail from him, the barrister he will direct you to, without this code "Hospital" is not from the barrister, Walter, the bank or myself as I don't know what will happen to me in the next few hours. (3) The lawyer's name is Bar Rufus Allen . And Let Walter send you his International passport to be sure of whom you are dealing with. Walter is so little therefore guide him. And if I don't hear from you, I will look for another person or an organization. Please do not forget to contact Jonathan Walter jtnwalter@yahoo.co.jp May Almighty God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish. Pray for me always. Miss Olivia Borrego |
I have noted your extensive work on Chuka Umunna's page in Wikipedia, and I shall be grateful if you will clarify what your relationship is with the Labour Party, or with Mr Umunna.

I added the subheading to that section because there are two articles ( ToyTalk and Hello barbie) that redirect there. I thought of changing them so that they redirected only to Barbie#Controversies but that section is so big that it seemed like a user might not be able to find the topic, and be tempted to start a new page (which was what I was trying to avoid in the first place). Under these circumstances, don't you think the subheading makes sense? ubiquity ( talk) 16:43, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I'm not at all skilled at editing and have only done minor ones in the past. I see that you have been involved in editing Andy Burnham's page in the past. I have looked at it because of his current bid to lead the Labour party and, while the piece is generally good. I was surprised at the inaccuracy of the of the para that runs,"As Health Secretary, Burnham ignored repeated requests for a public enquiry into unusually high mortality rates at Mid Staffordshire Hospital, including three independent reports into what became known as the Stafford Hospital scandal. Burnham and his predecessor as Health Secretary, Alan Johnson, rejected 81 requests to examine the high rate of deaths at the hospital. 2,800 of which arose after alarms were first sounded.[18]"
The most glaring inaccuracy relates to the '2,800' deaths. Firstly this is a number and not a rate (but that is a technical issue), but more importantly if you read the reference to the rather unhelpful Telegraph piece you can easily see that the '2,800' deaths referred to are nothing to do with Mid Staffordshire, but were alleged in respect of 14 other hospitals - not Mid Staffordshire. The two paragraphs in the Telegraph piece run, "Figures from the Conservatives also show 14 NHS trusts with unusually high mortality rates saw around 7000 more deaths than expected in the four years before Labour left power. Up to 2,800 of these deaths came after alarms were sounded about the Mid Staffordshire hospital scandal and three independent reports warned that not enough attention was paid to quality of care."
The use of this sort of statistic on hospital mortality is now discredited. At it's most basic it describes a deviation from the mean. And, as is obvious, about 50% of mortality rates will be above the mean and about 50% below!
The issue of the 81 requests for a public inquiry is also contentious and poorly worded but the number of 'deaths' comment should certainly be removed. I'm happy to provide more detail if required.

I quoted the mainstream media, who had several interviews of eyewitnesses saying that there were more than 1 shooter. it is also factual that neither the fbi nor dan oates pursued these killers.
A paragraph with 3 sources is much more relevant than unsourced paragraph: "The shooting prompted an increase in security at movie theaters across the U.S. that were screening the same film, in fear of copycat incidents. The shooting also led to a spike in gun sales in Colorado, as well as political debates about gun control in the United States."

It just wouldn't be summer in Britain without someone claiming that they had seen a great white shark in British waters. The Daily Star does the honours here today. Pointing out that no reliable sighting has ever occurred in UK waters does not seem to help. More likely to be a basking shark.

I'm sending you a direct message because I'm not scared of you Ian- my serial killer information was 100% legit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Queenofeverything12345 ( talk • contribs) 20:28, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

I don't quite understand. I just looked at it and accounts seem quite long standing? Your point? Majestic2016 ( talk) 07:41, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
Apologies I looked at yourself, Gmyrtle, Ludwig and Massly and wondered what your point was. Perhaps you should protect that article? You are correct . I am a fairly recent account. Majestic2016 ( talk) 07:51, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
I quoted the mainstream media, who had several interviews of eyewitnesses saying that there were more than 1 shooter. it is also factual that neither the fbi nor dan oates pursued these killers.
A paragraph with 3 sources is much more relevant than unsourced paragraph: "The shooting prompted an increase in security at movie theaters across the U.S. that were screening the same film, in fear of copycat incidents. The shooting also led to a spike in gun sales in Colorado, as well as political debates about gun control in the United States."

It just wouldn't be summer in Britain without someone claiming that they had seen a great white shark in British waters. The Daily Star does the honours here today. Pointing out that no reliable sighting has ever occurred in UK waters does not seem to help. More likely to be a basking shark. [15] This is similar to the UK tabloids blaming Steatoda nobilis every time a person gets an infected wound.-- ♦IanMacM♦ (talk to me) 07:09, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

I added a source to the article on Nikki Catsouras. It's fairly obvious and is one of the most famous Streisand effect cases. —Мандичка YO 😜 05:55, 23 July 2015 (UTC)
Multiple edits on the bestgore wiki page self citing. They however have not been reverted by you? Please explain.
Someone's pretty insistent on doing it on the 2015 Lafayette shooting article, so why not every article? Versus001 ( talk) 19:20, 6 August 2015 (UTC)
