If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia! UnitedStatesian ( talk) 02:12, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
Hi. The site's "about us" section doesn't exist. It contains articles with grammatical errors and they are not written from a neutral point of view. It also cites Wikipedia as its source. ภץאคгöร 17:22, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Hi. You may be interested in this AfD discussion. Thanks. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 08:09, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
I see you're not applying the approach of assuming good faith! Certainly not deliberate misuse, and I will go now to attempt to revive a consensus, because as you say there currently is one. Lack of consensus certainly doesn't mean you should get your own way. Vaze50 ( talk) 07:58, 10 April 2021 (UTC)
I won't link them directly so as not to alert them, but User:No Men Are Allowed payed a random visit to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Amitabh Vijayvargiya to vote delete. They're a brand new account (see here) who just so happened to come across a cricket AfD. On top of that, their userpage is musical in theme, bit like our friend VersaceSpace. What do you think, quacks like a duck right? StickyWicket ( talk) 21:20, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello again, SW and WJE. I really don't understand why they bother once they've been rumbled, unless they get some perverse kick from being caught over and over again. The one who attacked me last year was User:Marquis de la Eirron, another with a 100-plus farm, but that seems fixated by political articles, not sport. I see there is a SpareSeiko case at SPI now. SW, I'd be interested in anything you need help with although I'm essentially a football fan – that is, I know the offside law but lbw has me scratching my head sometimes!

Hi NGS - hope you are well. I have a feeling this user is a sock of a blocked account. I thought it was this guy, but the trial went dead. They made a couple of edits in January, before being more regular the next month. I'm pretty sure they've edited before based on their sudden discovery of wiki-knowledge and terms. The fact that within a few weeks of editing, they've created this AND nominated for a FL(!) ring some alarm bells. Do you have any thoughts or ideas on who it might be? If not, no worries, but I thought I'd raise it with you incase it raises any flags with yourself. Thanks! Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 09:35, 17 April 2021 (UTC)

Hi No Great Shaker, Sanfranciscogiants17 started the GA Review of Rohit Sharma article. Let us address the issues @ Talk:Rohit Sharma/GA1. - MRRaja001 ( talk) 10:19, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
Hello, MRR. I'm surprised but it looks as if the article has a very good chance of passing the review despite some horrendous edits in the last few weeks which I've had to remove. I've addressed all the points and left it with the reviewer so we'll see what he says. If it does pass, we should be ready to go with something for DYK and I think that has to be about Sharma's conservation activity. If you have any suggestions, please let me know. All the best and stay safe. No Great Shaker ( talk) 21:35, 16 April 2021 (UTC)

I know you've been trying to keep Churchill's article above the fray of mudslinging about race – I've read the AfD you started on the racial views fork – but the wikilink is still contextually relevant to that section and needs to be added. I just wanted to give you a heads up and fuller explanation. Jr8825 • Talk 20:32, 21 May 2021 (UTC)

Hi, it's Xfhxzf. As of Friday, May 21, you left a message on my page about my disruptive editing and unproperly sourced content on DOTY articles, and how Twitter and Instagram were not reliable sources to be using (which I had replied to with an apology if you didn't notice). I'm sure you'll probably disagree with me about this, but I'd later see as confusing and somewhat ironic. Why you may ask? Well there were already a few tweets and Instagram posts used as citation's in a few articles. For example, here's a list of a few
And that was all I found at the moment, but there's more too come. I also noticed that you didn't revert all of my edits on DOTY articles, using Twitter and Instagram as a source. Is that because...

Hello No Great Shaker. In this edit to Talk:Blood Meridian you changed the importance assessment of the article in Wikipedia:WikiProject Westerns from "high" to "low". Was that intentional? If so, was it discussed anywhere? If not, I'd like to discuss it further at either Talk:Blood Meridian or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Westerns. Rublov ( talk) 11:36, 2 June 2021 (UTC)
Not really intentional but the project is essentially about movies and this book has not yet been filmed. Change the rating back if you wish. Thanks. No Great Shaker ( talk) 12:04, 2 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi No Great Shaker, hope that you're well. I was wondering if there's any way to convince you to participate in the interview at WP DOTY? (interview here: User:Tom (LT)/sandbox/WikiProject days of the year interview draft - even a few questions would be most appreciated). It would be great to have a few more voices in the interview and I am enthusiastic about trying to have these interviews because it helps show editors how diverse in interests our movement is, reminds editors how we are all human and here in good faith, and continues to develop a sense of community :).

What are your thoughts on Category:Western (genre) action films by decade. Should this be deleted too? Scorpions13256 ( talk) 19:14, 24 July 2021 (UTC)
Hey! Following your exceptional peer review on Southend Pier you did late last year, I have finally managed to get the article to a stage where I feel it's ready to go through the GA process. It would be great if you wanted to consider doing the review for GA too, but please don't feel any obligation. Either way, your peer review helped immensely to get the article further on, even if it's taken me a lot longer to nominate it for GA than I'd have initially liked!

Hello NGS. Thanks for your editing here at the 'pedia. Your edit summary here is a little confusing. It says you are adding the dmy template when you are actually adding the mdy one. I hasten to say the mdy template is the correct one for those articles :-) If, like I do, you are using the drop down edit summary function it is an easy mistake to make. Just wanted to let you know. Cheers and happy editing. MarnetteD| Talk 18:18, 12 September 2021 (UTC)

-- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
I think you are the only person, to whom I make my request. Anyway, I am entering the matter without any type of further delay. According to an editor, the article Mohammed Shami is not written in a neutral point of view. I don't think he is quite wrong. I even agree to his point of view. But, the editor is continuously removing sections after sections in the article. As per latest updates, he has removed 9,703 (41,032 bytes) and 4,783 (36,348 bytes) in two edits. I can not totally disagree to him because some parts of his deletion is written in a fan point of view. But the problem is that, after removing sections after sections, he is not adding any single word. When I reverted his edit, he reverted mine saying --- " there is a discussion on the talk page - if you don't think there's irrelevance in the lead then I suggest you go and find some experienced editors to take a look at it." As I am novice to Wikipedia as a registered user, I am quiet puzzled and so, as per the editor's edit summary, I am writing to you (I think you are the only experienced friendly user whom I know). By the way, the editor have also posted a message in my talk page, saying--- "There is a discussion on the talk page. A number of them. At least two experienced editors have suggested that there is a massive amount of over-detail and recentism on the page and that there is a significant issue with the article essentially being written as a fan-blog. We can't, for example, have stuff written in the way it has been in the Punjab section - that's simply inappropriate for Wikipedia." I replied ,"Then the Punjab Kings section should be written in a neutral point of view and the whole removed section should be rewritten in that case. Otherwise, if the continuous removal of the article goes on without rephrasing it, then the article will become a nutshell. So I think, whenever a section is removed, it should be rewritten before deleting another section. Waiting for your reply." The editor has not responded till now. So, No Great Shaker, I want your help and advice in this matter. Please tell me what shall I do? I shall remain ever thankful to you if you please comply with my appeal. Kindly reply as soon as you see this message. Thank you. Soutut ( talk) 09:30, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Edit: No Great Shaker, just after writing to you, I opened the revision history of the article Mohammed Shami. It shows that in the meantime, the editor has again removed a massive portion of the article. In my talk page he also has left a reply. It shows that--- "I'm current doing that. One section at a time because it's too big to deal with it all at once. The article was absolutely terrible by the way - hideous recentism and over-detail and the worst fan-boy cruft I've ever seen in any cricket article. Things like "taking to the twitters" and saying three times that his 100th wicket was Guptil are just horrible and show a lack of intention by many editors to actually read the article. I'm not done yet - I'll finish it later, but need to do something else in the meantime." Although he told that he would finish it later, but I still need your intervention in this matter. Looking forward to your reply, No Great Shaker. Thanks again. Soutut ( talk) 09:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Good afternoon (As per IST), at first thank you for replying me. In your reply, you told about taking help from the friendly editors in the Teahouse of Wikipedia. But, to be honest, I did n't think (still I don't) that they would have been more experienced and amiable than you. By the way, let me enter the main matter. Actually, I don't have any grievance against BST. I even agree to his point of view. But, BSK has removed more than the half part of the article without rewriting a single line. I don't have any problem with the removal and deletion, as the deleted part was partially 'hyperbole and fan-cruft'. However, the problem is that, after removal, BSK has not rewritten the article with a neutral point of view. It's true that rephrasing a whole article is not possible by a single editor. I think, just as a number of editors have been collaboratively improving and elaborating the article
Virat Kohli, the same should be done in case of
Mohammed Shami. Otherwise, the article would become wee. So, what is the meaning of deleting anything if it is not recasted later? No Great Shaker, I want to finish with a proverb in our mother tongue, which when loosely translated into English means--- “It is better to have a blind uncle than no uncle at all.” In this context, it means that it is better to have a flawed paragraph than nothing at all. Okay my dear, this is all for now. Reply soon. Have a great time.
P.S- If I find any difficulties while doing an editing in Wikipedia, regardless of the topic, can I ask for help and assistance from you? Thank you. Soutut ( talk) 09:56, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. Soutut ( talk) 09:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
No Great Shaker, I hope you are in the pink of your health and mind by the blessings of the almighty. You will be glad to know that I have personally contacted and messaged BST in his and my talk page. The problem is now partially resolved. By the way, today is the fourth day after creating my account. Now I am eligible to edit the semi-protected pages, like- Virat Kohli. I have already done three copy edits in this page. But all the credit goes to you, The Great Shaker. Anyway, I shall not be available in Wikipedia from tomorrow indefinitely, may be a week or a couple due to some personal problems. Ok, have a great day. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soutut ( talk • contribs) 08:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I was wondering if you had considered nominating the article War cabinet crisis, May 1940 for a GA. I am not an expert in the era or British politics (I am more interested and knowledgeable in Hispanic conflicts and political crises), but thought the article quite a good read. I thought, then, to inquire as to whether you were planning to nominate it or if you think it still needs work.

I don't really have an opinion, and you obviously know more about the subject than me, but when I read your user page, I had no idea who "The Shakers" were, whereas with bolding, I would have seen it in the article immediately (and presumably the same logic implies to the plethora of sources I presume use the nickname).

Afternoon - hope you are well. Thanks once again for taking time to log the SPI and ANI threads. Apologies I've not had time to input to the latter just yet - busy day at work! Hopefully take a proper look at all the content later today and see how it pans out. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
BilledMammal. I have said a few times now that I will not visit either ANI or SPI again on my own initiative but, if someone invites me there or if someone says something there that I must answer, then I will provide what help or opposition I can. So, no, I will not raise another ANI or SPI against you but if I get an invitation to have my say, then I will do that (unless I refuse the invitation). I will not even go to SPI if (or, more likely, when) I encounter one of the HarveyCarter manifestations again – I will simply alert one of the sysops whom I know to be interested in that particular species.
I think the person who needs to drop the stick is DItheW, who has been dragging things on over the last 48 hours while Lugnuts and I have been trying to get on with improving the encyclopaedia, which is what we are both here for. As for aspersions – although, to be fair, this doesn't concern you personally – I am sick and tired of your three or four chums casting bad faith aspersions around because I have used the ANI and SPI processes in the way they are intended. So, I got a yellow card for overuse (I should have let someone else do the IceWhiz one), which is fair enough, but that is in no way comparable with the breaches of WP:AGF that I have seen from at least three people who seem to be associates of yours. I did NOT start those investigations because of anything said or done re NSPORTS which, tbh, I'd completely forgotten about. My concern was your flood of AfDs which reminded me of Störm (and, for a while there, I couldn't remember his name and had to search for him). All right? I suggest you contact your associates (you know who they are) and spell that out to them. They are the ones who should be dropping sticks and keeping their aspersions to themselves.
I did point out at the end of the ANI (you may not have seen this) that I have been taking part in AfD and CfD for a quite a long time and I do not pick out specific OPs – usually, I don't even notice who the OP is. I follow the sport-related discussions, especially football, although I've just created the Olympics one too. In recent times, the majority of cases I've joined appear to have been raised by Lambert but there have been many by other editors too. I do not vote against you or Lambert but for or against the case presented. If either of you nominated an article about a Northern Counties footballer, I would support you and vote delete.
Okay, it has been suggested that there should be an IBAN between us, but I have no objection to you contacting me as long as you do so politely, as you have done on this occasion. No Great Shaker ( talk) 11:02, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
I would like to make a point to you in saying that the issue to remove the listing was discussed between around 2 or 3 people, I don’t believe that 2-3 peoples opinion is enough to form a consensus on what the whole world thinks should be on said Wikipedia page, 3 people should not be able to decide what is on that Wikipedia page, which is why I reverted back to including what is an important part of classic Hollywood Cinema history, that should be on the page. Also, the information that was removed from a previous page you mentioned was a completely different Wikipedia article not the one in question which is why the new information has been re-again to this one again. Bradonwiki ( talk) 15:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Well that’s is ridiculous. To remove that sheer amount of important information because two people think it shouldn’t be there. Wikipedia’s rules need to be updated and reassessed if that is the case. Bradonwiki ( talk) 16:02, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
And it is worth noting.. the discussion you linked me to is in relation to a different list that was poorly written and looked extremely messy AND was on a different Wikipedia page. The one you removed from ‘Classic Hollywood Cinema’ was one that I personally rewrote after doing hours of research on top of my already extensive knowledge on the subject. I had made references and links to other Wikipedia articles as to why many of the actors should be included so why did you feel the need to delete it when said discussion (the one you linked me to above) is not in reference to that. It’s a completely different list on a completely different article that was removed at the time. Bradonwiki ( talk) 16:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

As you add categories to articles please be aware of WP:CATVER and check that the article has referenced info in the article to justify adding the category. You also need to take a look at WP:CATDEF and make sure the cat is a defining characteristic of the subject of the article. Much of what you are doing might work as a list article but categories have these specific guidelines that need to be met. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD| Talk 23:25, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey Roy. In short I am trying to find any living sons of JT Edson. My father in law was JT Edson's neighbour - the son of Daphne and Harry Chamberlain (as annotated in The Bloody Border). I’m trying to get an original 1969 copy of the book signed for my father in law as his retirement present. I am hoping that at least one of his sons still lives somewhere near Melton Mowbray.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for speaking out in your complaint to WP:ANI. Wanted to make it clear that you aren't crazy and that your complaint was justified. Thought it was worth giving you a barnstar because I know admins didn't believe you either. Users who blatantly abuse the system but are defended by admins make the wiki worse. You are making the wiki better by speaking out and standing by the truth. Desertambition ( talk) 08:13, 10 April 2022 (UTC) |
It is insane what some users are allowed to get away with. Have faith that reason will prevail. I am certainly having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel.

Per this edit summary, you want me to deal with the cause of you calling a fellow editor "a spoiled brat", and characterizing their arguments as "bleating", rather than with the effect. But I'm not sure what the cause is — bile? If so, I'm afraid there's little I can do to extract it from your disposition. As an administrator, I'll just have to try to deal with the effects.

-- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 06:45, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
I think you are the only person, to whom I make my request. Anyway, I am entering the matter without any type of further delay. According to an editor, the article Mohammed Shami is not written in a neutral point of view. I don't think he is quite wrong. I even agree to his point of view. But, the editor is continuously removing sections after sections in the article. As per latest updates, he has removed 9,703 (41,032 bytes) and 4,783 (36,348 bytes) in two edits. I can not totally disagree to him because some parts of his deletion is written in a fan point of view. But the problem is that, after removing sections after sections, he is not adding any single word. When I reverted his edit, he reverted mine saying --- " there is a discussion on the talk page - if you don't think there's irrelevance in the lead then I suggest you go and find some experienced editors to take a look at it." As I am novice to Wikipedia as a registered user, I am quiet puzzled and so, as per the editor's edit summary, I am writing to you (I think you are the only experienced friendly user whom I know). By the way, the editor have also posted a message in my talk page, saying--- "There is a discussion on the talk page. A number of them. At least two experienced editors have suggested that there is a massive amount of over-detail and recentism on the page and that there is a significant issue with the article essentially being written as a fan-blog. We can't, for example, have stuff written in the way it has been in the Punjab section - that's simply inappropriate for Wikipedia." I replied ,"Then the Punjab Kings section should be written in a neutral point of view and the whole removed section should be rewritten in that case. Otherwise, if the continuous removal of the article goes on without rephrasing it, then the article will become a nutshell. So I think, whenever a section is removed, it should be rewritten before deleting another section. Waiting for your reply." The editor has not responded till now. So, No Great Shaker, I want your help and advice in this matter. Please tell me what shall I do? I shall remain ever thankful to you if you please comply with my appeal. Kindly reply as soon as you see this message. Thank you. Soutut ( talk) 09:30, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Edit: No Great Shaker, just after writing to you, I opened the revision history of the article Mohammed Shami. It shows that in the meantime, the editor has again removed a massive portion of the article. In my talk page he also has left a reply. It shows that--- "I'm current doing that. One section at a time because it's too big to deal with it all at once. The article was absolutely terrible by the way - hideous recentism and over-detail and the worst fan-boy cruft I've ever seen in any cricket article. Things like "taking to the twitters" and saying three times that his 100th wicket was Guptil are just horrible and show a lack of intention by many editors to actually read the article. I'm not done yet - I'll finish it later, but need to do something else in the meantime." Although he told that he would finish it later, but I still need your intervention in this matter. Looking forward to your reply, No Great Shaker. Thanks again. Soutut ( talk) 09:38, 9 October 2021 (UTC)
Good afternoon (As per IST), at first thank you for replying me. In your reply, you told about taking help from the friendly editors in the Teahouse of Wikipedia. But, to be honest, I did n't think (still I don't) that they would have been more experienced and amiable than you. By the way, let me enter the main matter. Actually, I don't have any grievance against BST. I even agree to his point of view. But, BSK has removed more than the half part of the article without rewriting a single line. I don't have any problem with the removal and deletion, as the deleted part was partially 'hyperbole and fan-cruft'. However, the problem is that, after removal, BSK has not rewritten the article with a neutral point of view. It's true that rephrasing a whole article is not possible by a single editor. I think, just as a number of editors have been collaboratively improving and elaborating the article
Virat Kohli, the same should be done in case of
Mohammed Shami. Otherwise, the article would become wee. So, what is the meaning of deleting anything if it is not recasted later? No Great Shaker, I want to finish with a proverb in our mother tongue, which when loosely translated into English means--- “It is better to have a blind uncle than no uncle at all.” In this context, it means that it is better to have a flawed paragraph than nothing at all. Okay my dear, this is all for now. Reply soon. Have a great time.
P.S- If I find any difficulties while doing an editing in Wikipedia, regardless of the topic, can I ask for help and assistance from you? Thank you. Soutut ( talk) 09:56, 10 October 2021 (UTC)
Thank you. Soutut ( talk) 09:20, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
No Great Shaker, I hope you are in the pink of your health and mind by the blessings of the almighty. You will be glad to know that I have personally contacted and messaged BST in his and my talk page. The problem is now partially resolved. By the way, today is the fourth day after creating my account. Now I am eligible to edit the semi-protected pages, like- Virat Kohli. I have already done three copy edits in this page. But all the credit goes to you, The Great Shaker. Anyway, I shall not be available in Wikipedia from tomorrow indefinitely, may be a week or a couple due to some personal problems. Ok, have a great day. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soutut ( talk • contribs) 08:59, 13 October 2021 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the kind words and support at ANI - much appreciated. I guess this is all a net negative to some. Stick around, I think I'm being named as the gun-man on the grassy knoll next. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 16:35, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

On Rohit Sharma, you removed clarify tag without a proper reason and before the issue is solved. If Citations are not allowed in lead, Why Sachin Tendulkar, Viv Richards have so many. Your trying to mislead fellow editors by saying bla bla bla is rule but I don't thik so wo prohibite to add Citation in lead. You have to avoid this. That articles lead claim a big thing without a Citation, usually such claims need backing of 4 to 5 sources. Success think ( talk) 08:01, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

By "norm" mean, I was talking about Cricket BLP related articles not all wp articles. I read in complainant that someone previously undid your edits and that's Why your suspecting me that individual but for your kind information I'm not that editor, I'm more reader of this site than editor. In past i used this site for my Zoology, Botany related study and for current happenings. I'm interested in editing articles about Asia, North America, Cricket & Science.

In article of rohit sharma, many of my friends who are engaged with me in cricket .For your information I am engaged for a long period of time. No-one in my team and even my coach Don't think he is an outstanding cricketer. Every have problem with the word outstanding. I am currently a part of star sport cricket panel of commentary. I take information from my experinced commentator, they have said rohit is very talented batsman, but it's too early to say outstanding, so if you wanted let have a talk on this topic. Ripomobo11 ( talk) 12:23, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
You can easily write he is one of the best white ball batsman. But outstanding is doubt able Ripomobo11 ( talk) 12:37, 20 March 2022 (UTC)

i really don't understand what you mean?, but if we are talking about classic films, Gone with the Wind would most definatley be at number 1. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.43.134.216 ( talk) 02:39, 26 March 2022 (UTC) I was. not disputing that Casablanca was not a classic film, because obvious it was, but it never reached the same cult status as Gone with the Wind or even The Wizard of Oz that was released that same year. Kind regards. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.43.134.216 ( talk) 03:01, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Afternoon - hope you are well. Thanks once again for taking time to log the SPI and ANI threads. Apologies I've not had time to input to the latter just yet - busy day at work! Hopefully take a proper look at all the content later today and see how it pans out. Lugnuts Fire Walk with Me 12:14, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
BilledMammal. I have said a few times now that I will not visit either ANI or SPI again on my own initiative but, if someone invites me there or if someone says something there that I must answer, then I will provide what help or opposition I can. So, no, I will not raise another ANI or SPI against you but if I get an invitation to have my say, then I will do that (unless I refuse the invitation). I will not even go to SPI if (or, more likely, when) I encounter one of the HarveyCarter manifestations again – I will simply alert one of the sysops whom I know to be interested in that particular species.
I think the person who needs to drop the stick is DItheW, who has been dragging things on over the last 48 hours while Lugnuts and I have been trying to get on with improving the encyclopaedia, which is what we are both here for. As for aspersions – although, to be fair, this doesn't concern you personally – I am sick and tired of your three or four chums casting bad faith aspersions around because I have used the ANI and SPI processes in the way they are intended. So, I got a yellow card for overuse (I should have let someone else do the IceWhiz one), which is fair enough, but that is in no way comparable with the breaches of WP:AGF that I have seen from at least three people who seem to be associates of yours. I did NOT start those investigations because of anything said or done re NSPORTS which, tbh, I'd completely forgotten about. My concern was your flood of AfDs which reminded me of Störm (and, for a while there, I couldn't remember his name and had to search for him). All right? I suggest you contact your associates (you know who they are) and spell that out to them. They are the ones who should be dropping sticks and keeping their aspersions to themselves.
I did point out at the end of the ANI (you may not have seen this) that I have been taking part in AfD and CfD for a quite a long time and I do not pick out specific OPs – usually, I don't even notice who the OP is. I follow the sport-related discussions, especially football, although I've just created the Olympics one too. In recent times, the majority of cases I've joined appear to have been raised by Lambert but there have been many by other editors too. I do not vote against you or Lambert but for or against the case presented. If either of you nominated an article about a Northern Counties footballer, I would support you and vote delete.
Okay, it has been suggested that there should be an IBAN between us, but I have no objection to you contacting me as long as you do so politely, as you have done on this occasion. No Great Shaker ( talk) 11:02, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
I would like to make a point to you in saying that the issue to remove the listing was discussed between around 2 or 3 people, I don’t believe that 2-3 peoples opinion is enough to form a consensus on what the whole world thinks should be on said Wikipedia page, 3 people should not be able to decide what is on that Wikipedia page, which is why I reverted back to including what is an important part of classic Hollywood Cinema history, that should be on the page. Also, the information that was removed from a previous page you mentioned was a completely different Wikipedia article not the one in question which is why the new information has been re-again to this one again. Bradonwiki ( talk) 15:53, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Well that’s is ridiculous. To remove that sheer amount of important information because two people think it shouldn’t be there. Wikipedia’s rules need to be updated and reassessed if that is the case. Bradonwiki ( talk) 16:02, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
And it is worth noting.. the discussion you linked me to is in relation to a different list that was poorly written and looked extremely messy AND was on a different Wikipedia page. The one you removed from ‘Classic Hollywood Cinema’ was one that I personally rewrote after doing hours of research on top of my already extensive knowledge on the subject. I had made references and links to other Wikipedia articles as to why many of the actors should be included so why did you feel the need to delete it when said discussion (the one you linked me to above) is not in reference to that. It’s a completely different list on a completely different article that was removed at the time. Bradonwiki ( talk) 16:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
Congratulations! Today: Bach's No. 1. - Sad record: I brought three articles to the Recent deaths section, - not at the same time today but still ... - two of them from Ukraine, the third a Russian who left Moscow in 1990, and then went on to conduct the orchestra where my brother plays. - Thank you for the DYK review, will supply a qpq soon. -- Gerda Arendt ( talk) 20:24, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
As you add categories to articles please be aware of WP:CATVER and check that the article has referenced info in the article to justify adding the category. You also need to take a look at WP:CATDEF and make sure the cat is a defining characteristic of the subject of the article. Much of what you are doing might work as a list article but categories have these specific guidelines that need to be met. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD| Talk 23:25, 31 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey Roy. In short I am trying to find any living sons of JT Edson. My father in law was JT Edson's neighbour - the son of Daphne and Harry Chamberlain (as annotated in The Bloody Border). I’m trying to get an original 1969 copy of the book signed for my father in law as his retirement present. I am hoping that at least one of his sons still lives somewhere near Melton Mowbray.
Any help would be appreciated.

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar | ||
Thank you for speaking out in your complaint to WP:ANI. Wanted to make it clear that you aren't crazy and that your complaint was justified. Thought it was worth giving you a barnstar because I know admins didn't believe you either. Users who blatantly abuse the system but are defended by admins make the wiki worse. You are making the wiki better by speaking out and standing by the truth. Desertambition ( talk) 08:13, 10 April 2022 (UTC) |
It is insane what some users are allowed to get away with. Have faith that reason will prevail. I am certainly having a hard time seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Wish admins & experienced users would comply with the WP:BENICE policy more than anyone else. Non-admins certainly love to speak like admins on WP:ANI and it doesn't help. Thank you and good luck editing!
On 13 April 2022, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Gigg Lane, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that floodlights were first used at Gigg Lane in 1889? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gigg Lane. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page ( here's how, Gigg Lane), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Per this edit summary, you want me to deal with the cause of you calling a fellow editor "a spoiled brat", and characterizing their arguments as "bleating", rather than with the effect. But I'm not sure what the cause is — bile? If so, I'm afraid there's little I can do to extract it from your disposition. As an administrator, I'll just have to try to deal with the effects. If you attack somebody in such a way again, I will block you. Bishonen | tålk 10:28, 16 April 2022 (UTC).

Ukraine day today: Maks Levin DYK, expanding Kyiv Symphony Orchestra (have tickets), and creating Anthony Robin Schneider, the bass who could be heard opening the singing in Beethoven's Ninth twice on 10 March 2022, live in Frankfurt, Germany, and recorded in Auckland, New Zealand, singing "Freiheit!"
