Hello Kintetsubuffalo! I wish to seek your help, I have a certain reference from the Times of India newspaper of which I can't find an e-paper version, if i scan the newspaper and put it as an image on the references section, can it be validated as a proof?

Hello Kintetsubuffalo. You started a discussion at Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Climate_change_denial. As usual, this has descended into a points-scoring game which is a complete waste of time. Do you want to pursue it any further or shall I ask for the discussion to be closed?

Hi Kintetsubuffalo. Your initial revert
here was to a version of the non-free use rationale that incorrectly listed
Federación de Escultismo en España as the |article=
where the file was being used and was what
Salavat had fixed with their edit
here. I just reverted back to the last correct version of the nfur. Sorry, if that wasn't clear in the edit sum. --

I notice some pro-Communist Argentina editor from Spanish Wikipedia has rewritten/whitewashed the Marxist guerrilla warefare in Tucuman Province (Operativo Independencia) blaming a good percentage of the Argentine army fatalities on accidents and Red Flag incidents as is the narrative of the leftist Argentines, so I hope you can keep an eye on this page in order to add balance to history and educate neutral people.

Hi Kintetsubuffalo. Do you have more specific information about the source of File:1st World Scout Jamboree poster.png? You were listed as the file's source, and I think it is a good candidate for conversion to Template:PD-US-1923-abroad because its age. Anything information you can provide about the original copyright holder at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 10#File:1st World Scout Jamboree poster.png will be helpful. If the licensing is changed to public domain, the file would no longer be subject to WP:NFCC and could be used pretty much as desired without any restrictions (other than WP:IUP). Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:08, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey there. So I may have been a bit too bold, but I went through and tagged seven different Scout camp articles for mergers that I felt were not notable. I tagged Camp Kern, Camp Bud Schiele, Goshen Scout Reservation, Howard H. Cherry Scout Reservation, Musser Scout Reservation, Pioneer Scout Reservation, and Resica Falls Scout Reservation. While most have been silent, it looks like I may have hit the home camps of a few of our WP:SCOUT editors. Goshen's tag at least has gotten one editor to start working on expanding the article, however on the Talk page it's getting a little heated it seems. For Musser and Resica Falls, my tags were simply reverted based discussion from 2006. Currently our MoS is relatively silent on camp articles. Since you are an active participant of the project and haven't commented yet, I wanted to reach out to you to see your opinion. It looks like you were also involved in the discussion in 06 and that at one time there was a Project policy. Do you think it's time we try to again establish some consensus and written policy on the Project level about when to establish separate articles for camps? Deflagro Contribs/ Talk 19:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
@Evrik-I realize that and am grateful for it, just saying as quick as those merge proposal tags were removed, I've seen how that has played out before. I would hope 10 years on things could be reviewed on their face. No acrimony here, we are indeed friends.-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 01:35, 5 May 2016 (UTC)
Since you recently were commenting on this article, I would appreciate your opinion in the discussion on the article talk pages Talk:Goshen Scout Reservation and the other related article Talk:National Capital Area Council.

Hi, I noticed that you helped get the Mormonism and Polygamy template image all cleaned up. It looked great, but unfortunately the image wasn't of a polygamous family after all. You can see the gory details on the image's talk page--basically one of the people who photographed the scene sold it as a polygamous family, which is where the misunderstanding originated. I ended up replacing the image with a different one--not a family unfortunately, but a man and his two wives. If you're dissatisfied with the image, talk to me and I'll see what I can do--we have a few other images of polygamous families at BYU, but the one I chose was conveniently already in the public domain.

User:Dr. Blofeld has created Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/Contests. The idea is to run a series of contests/editathons focusing on each region of Africa. He has spoken to Wikimedia about it and $1000-1500 is possible for prize money. As someone who has previously expressed interest in African topics, would you be interested in contributing to one or assisting draw up core article/missing article lists? He says he's thinking of North Africa for an inaugural one in October.

Hi, Kintetsubuffalo. You added a citation needed template here, but it wasn't clear which part of the statement you were challenging. Kanguole 17:54, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Heya, you had added some citation needed tags to the aforementioned page, which I ended up removing. I went through the citations provided ( [1] [2]), and they indeed seemed valid for the information in the article.
Namely the points you'd tagged were "[...]these prehistoric Europeans were predominantly dark skinned, short of stature, lactose intolerant, and looked dramatically different in comparison to modern Europeans. citation needed" and "The genetic lineage of Europe mysteriously citation needed transformed[...]", both of which were mentioned in the sources provided.
I'm letting you know because I think that this part of the article could be written in a different tone (it feels kind of agenda-ish), and also because the two sources provided aren't very good (bloody Daily Mail and some pop science website). However, since you're the editor who actually took issue with it enough to add the tags, I think if you still have an issue with it you should be the one to properly fix it.
Thanks,

Hi Kintetsubuffalo. I was wondering if you also edit on Japanese Wikipedia? -- AlmaBeta ( talk) 11:28, 20 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi at File:Eric Khoo Heng-Pheng.jpg you have added a fair use rationale, which looks good. But it also mentions free licenses GFDL and CC-BY-SA. If the free licenses actually apply, then we do need proof, but with fair use we don't need a free license. From the text you included it is unclear what permission was given. The supplier may have intended Wikipedia only. But if the subject supplied the photo, then he probably did not take it. So I think it is best to stick to fair use.

Just thought I'd drop a note to head off any future misunderstanding. Regarding this edit, I usually also abhor Pop culture sections. This one however, doesn't seem to match the template you placed on it.

I recently got the notification about my map of the Sassanian Empire. I've recently been making a 2.0 version of this map:
However, since it has been VERY difficult to get the accuracy of the names right and I have to re-adjust the borders again combined with the fact that I am very bust with school lately, I have given the map workshop permission to make any changes to my map. However, the map in the infobox is the old version of my map that was re-uploaded because this one was less accurate than the last one.
Given that I've been overwhelmingly busy with school as of recent, I suggest you send another request to the map workshop. I will back you up as I have told Joe Roe, the graphist who responded to your request that they have my permission. Regards. Kirby ( talk) 01:21, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
Hi Kintetsubuffalo,
I'm still around, but busy with my own children and the ScoutWiki's.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

It might be the case that the material you added to John Frederick Colquhoun was a useful addition to the article. I didn't check to see if it was. My main reason for undoing your edit is that when copying material within Wikipedia it must be done in a particular way to properly credit all contributors.

Hi Kintetsubuffalo, I noticed the proposed merge tags at Hong Kong Scout Progressive Badge Scheme and Hong Kong Scout Proficiency Badge Scheme (Interest). On review of the articles' content, they appear to contain too much tiny technical detail, most of which is likely to be a copyvio from the sources. There is also no significant claim of notability.

Hey hi howdy! Thanks for bringing the above to AfD. However, in the future, if you encounter another US middle or elementary school article that makes no exceptional claim to notability, feel free to simply go ahead and boldly redirect it to the school district's article. When you do that, please apply the {{r from school}} template after the redirect markup. It will automatically update the project templates on the talk page and the categorization. If anyone objects to the redirect (usually shown by reverting your edit), then go to AfD. I've personally done this over 100 times and only been reverted twice. Thanks.

I notice some pro-Communist Argentina editor from Spanish Wikipedia has rewritten/whitewashed the Marxist guerrilla warefare in Tucuman Province (Operativo Independencia) blaming a good percentage of the Argentine army fatalities on accidents and Red Flag incidents as is the narrative of the leftist Argentines, so I hope you can keep an eye on this page in order to add balance to history and educate neutral people. Thank you for all your work over the years. -- Middleagewerewolf ( talk) 23:18, 26 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi Kintetsubuffalo. Do you have more specific information about the source of File:1st World Scout Jamboree poster.png? You were listed as the file's source, and I think it is a good candidate for conversion to Template:PD-US-1923-abroad because its age. Anything information you can provide about the original copyright holder at Wikipedia:Files for discussion/2016 February 10#File:1st World Scout Jamboree poster.png will be helpful. If the licensing is changed to public domain, the file would no longer be subject to WP:NFCC and could be used pretty much as desired without any restrictions (other than WP:IUP). Thanks in advance. -- Marchjuly ( talk) 06:08, 10 February 2016 (UTC)
Hey there. So I may have been a bit too bold, but I went through and tagged seven different Scout camp articles for mergers that I felt were not notable. I tagged Camp Kern, Camp Bud Schiele, Goshen Scout Reservation, Howard H. Cherry Scout Reservation, Musser Scout Reservation, Pioneer Scout Reservation, and Resica Falls Scout Reservation. While most have been silent, it looks like I may have hit the home camps of a few of our WP:SCOUT editors. Goshen's tag at least has gotten one editor to start working on expanding the article, however on the Talk page it's getting a little heated it seems. For Musser and Resica Falls, my tags were simply reverted based discussion from 2006. Currently our MoS is relatively silent on camp articles. Since you are an active participant of the project and haven't commented yet, I wanted to reach out to you to see your opinion. It looks like you were also involved in the discussion in 06 and that at one time there was a Project policy. Do you think it's time we try to again establish some consensus and written policy on the Project level about when to establish separate articles for camps? Deflagro Contribs/ Talk 19:15, 3 May 2016 (UTC)
@Evrik-I realize that and am grateful for it, just saying as quick as those merge proposal tags were removed, I've seen how that has played out before. I would hope 10 years on things could be reviewed on their face. No acrimony here, we are indeed friends.-- Kintetsubuffalo ( talk) 01:35, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you helped get the Mormonism and Polygamy template image all cleaned up. It looked great, but unfortunately the image wasn't of a polygamous family after all. You can see the gory details on the image's talk page--basically one of the people who photographed the scene sold it as a polygamous family, which is where the misunderstanding originated. I ended up replacing the image with a different one--not a family unfortunately, but a man and his two wives. If you're dissatisfied with the image, talk to me and I'll see what I can do--we have a few other images of polygamous families at BYU, but the one I chose was conveniently already in the public domain.

Hi, Kintetsubuffalo. You added a citation needed template here, but it wasn't clear which part of the statement you were challenging. Kanguole 17:54, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
Heya, you had added some citation needed tags to the aforementioned page, which I ended up removing. I went through the citations provided ( [1] [2]), and they indeed seemed valid for the information in the article.
Namely the points you'd tagged were "[...]these prehistoric Europeans were predominantly dark skinned, short of stature, lactose intolerant, and looked dramatically different in comparison to modern Europeans. citation needed" and "The genetic lineage of Europe mysteriously citation needed transformed[...]", both of which were mentioned in the sources provided.
I'm letting you know because I think that this part of the article could be written in a different tone (it feels kind of agenda-ish), and also because the two sources provided aren't very good (bloody Daily Mail and some pop science website). However, since you're the editor who actually took issue with it enough to add the tags, I think if you still have an issue with it you should be the one to properly fix it.
Thanks,

Hi at File:Eric Khoo Heng-Pheng.jpg you have added a fair use rationale, which looks good. But it also mentions free licenses GFDL and CC-BY-SA. If the free licenses actually apply, then we do need proof, but with fair use we don't need a free license. From the text you included it is unclear what permission was given. The supplier may have intended Wikipedia only. But if the subject supplied the photo, then he probably did not take it. So I think it is best to stick to fair use.

Just thought I'd drop a note to head off any future misunderstanding. Regarding this edit, I usually also abhor Pop culture sections.

I recently got the notification about my map of the Sassanian Empire. I've recently been making a 2.0 version of this map:
However, since it has been VERY difficult to get the accuracy of the names right and I have to re-adjust the borders again combined with the fact that I am very bust with school lately, I have given the map workshop permission to make any changes to my map. However, the map in the infobox is the old version of my map that was re-uploaded because this one was less accurate than the last one.
Given that I've been overwhelmingly busy with school as of recent, I suggest you send another request to the map workshop. I will back you up as I have told Joe Roe, the graphist who responded to your request that they have my permission. Regards. Kirby ( talk) 01:21, 15 September 2016 (UTC)

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!

It might be the case that the material you added to John Frederick Colquhoun was a useful addition to the article. I didn't check to see if it was.

Hi Kintetsubuffalo, I noticed the proposed merge tags at Hong Kong Scout Progressive Badge Scheme and Hong Kong Scout Proficiency Badge Scheme (Interest). On review of the articles' content, they appear to contain too much tiny technical detail, most of which is likely to be a copyvio from the sources. There is also no significant claim of notability.

Hey hi howdy! Thanks for bringing the above to AfD. However, in the future, if you encounter another US middle or elementary school article that makes no exceptional claim to notability, feel free to simply go ahead and boldly redirect it to the school district's article. When you do that, please apply the {{r from school}} template after the redirect markup. It will automatically update the project templates on the talk page and the categorization. If anyone objects to the redirect (usually shown by reverting your edit), then go to AfD. I've personally done this over 100 times and only been reverted twice. Thanks.
