How you can say that Social Media section is pointless? Then why Twitter and Facebook on Wikipedia page? Are they not pointless? And even though mainstream media has recognized it.

Hi Ugog Nizdast,
Dude are you founder of Wikipedia? I think Homespun has clearly requested you to wait and let other editors give their point of view but still you are not agreeing to him. Please be patient and don't take it on your ego. Please wait and wait. Don't be so eager to remove the content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rajivgupta33 ( talk • contribs) 17:27, 25 April 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply on my talk page, Nizdast. It appears that you do have an opinion about this: you believe the image to be irrelevant to ballet. Would you be so kind as to register your opinion at talk:ballet? Although ballet is probably widely watched, as you surmised, no one else has bothered to comment about this issue there. Thanks!

Hi! I just wanted thank you for your time spent recently in reviewing and suggesting improvements at
Talk:Giving Victims a Voice/GA1. I can see that the content is much clearer to readers as a result. As we discussed there, I'll probably return for a few minor tweaks some time soon. All the best with your continued editing and vandal fighting! See you round somewhere sometime, I expect. Cheers.

Hey, I had a quick question for you. I just started using STiki, and I've been wondering if I've been erring on the side of strictness. So, just as a benchmark, what proportion of edits do you mark innocent, and what proportion do you revert good faith? (I'm asking for ballpark figures, obviously I don't expect you to keep track of precise numbers.) Cheers, Vanamonde93 ( talk) 05:26, 14 May 2014 (UTC)
sorry for the late response. I had an unexpectedly busy week a work. In my opinion it would be wisest to just ignore something like that, but it's really up to you. If you want to try dispute resolution in those kinds of cases, you're more than welcome to, but again I don't personally think it's worth it. But yeah protecting the page is probably not the right option regardless. Cheers. Thingg ⊕ ⊗ 23:55, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

I noticed an edit to Hafez today in which an editor undid disruptive edits to the article. Looking at the recent Revision History, one can see several disruptive edits, including an edit saying that Hafez's parents were Bakhtiari, the same information added by the same editor to Saadi Shirazi on 8 August and undone by you on 10 August. I'm wondering whether an admin should leave a note on that editor's talk page. CorinneSD ( talk) 16:43, 13 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello Sir. I've respond to your queries. 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 18:04, 15 August 2014 (UTC)
Hello everyone! Hope you've all been having a great summer!
TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.
As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

What is the use of the "defaultsort" on Human evolution? Dt Mos Ios ( talk) 13:12, 16 August 2014 (UTC).
I don't have time for debates but I looked at the discussion and it seems people arguing against overpopulation in India have no serious sources to prove their point. Even the CIA world factbook states this fact. It has nothing to do with opinion. I even added citations in my edit. Even if majority disagree, they need some reliable sources.-- Taeyebaar ( talk) 00:21, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for responses guys. In response to Joshua's comments above, the area where it says the country continues to face pressing problems. In response to Vanamonde93, we should go by how reliable the sources are. To start with I could mention the CIA world factbook, which is in fact used as a source on wikipedia on country topics, including India, so that would be the strongest source in favor of adding overpopulation to the India article. Otherwise it's questionable that wikipedia uses it as a source but denies it in other situations. But I think what's agreed is it requires further discussion and I'm willing to share all the input I can in the time i have-- Taeyebaar ( talk) 21:46, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

As you can see I get very less time (because of office work) to check Wikipedia. I request you to add Uttar Pradesh, Indian National Congress, Vivah, Allahabad, Maine Pyar Kiya, Amrita Rao and Maharashtra in your watchlist. I have spent so many hours to write these seven articles but IP users doesn't understand and they often vandalize with no genuine reason. Please help.-- 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 07:11, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
![]() WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to

I did give a valid reference for my edit. It was listed as 187th in the list of references. Then why was my edit removed???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rampy.g ( talk • contribs) 09:58, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
I wonder why you just mentioned a single word. The whole section should not have been removed just for the dispute of a single word. The other parts of my post has been reliably resourced, including the annual(and decade) mean value and the trend of air quaility in last 14 years (ex. http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2014-01/03/content_17212783.htm).
The conclusion of "changeable" can also be drawed from one website of Chinese http://bjwb.bjd.com.cn/html/2014-01/02/content_139456.htm that I posted before, where the number of good days (daily mean value, moderate for US standard) was published. Although it was not a strong evidence compared with the calculation of hourly mean. Though won't be accepted as an evidence, I would also like to show you my personal research as I'm a Beijinger: Among 2013, the daily highest visibility reached above 50 km in about 60 days , above 80 km in about 24 days, above 100 km in about 10 days. We have north wind normally once three days at winter, which can reduce the air pollution index in 1-2 hour as Beijing located very near the little pollution area of Mongolia Plateau. In Feb 28, 2013 and Jan 18, 2014, I was surprised to saw that a clear bound over the sky seperating it into 2 parts with yellow color and blue color, with the air quality index jumped up and down in several hours. BeijingCup ( talk) 08:05, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Please attentioned that my post was NOT for refuting the statement "Beijing air quality is often poor...".On the cantrary, it was quite neccessary for describing how poor it was exactly and showing us the trend in last 14 years. BeijingCup ( talk) 08:13, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

I have the page Wikipedia:Third opinion on my watch list. I have raised an issue at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle about a problem with the default wording of Twinkle that is a breach of " assume good faith".
You made a revert using Twinkle here. Have you any reason to think that Davidbena, who is an established editor makes bad faith edits? If not why start an editorial comment with "Reverted good faith edits by Davidbena:". If you assume good faith then there is no reason for such a comment unless you think that Davidbena makes bad faith edits.
For example you would not expect me to save this edit with "Comments on gold faith revert by Ugog Nizdast: ..." because anyone who reads the edit comment may think that I think you make bad faith reverts, if not, why would I write it if I assume good faith? I have recently been told on Wikipedia talk:Twinkle that you do not have to select that default wording -- but I would not know as I don't use Twinkle. -- PBS ( talk) 15:40, 29 September 2014 (UTC)

TheQ Editor recently proposed the idea of having another Backlog Drive in either September/October or November/December of this year. For those of you who have participated in the past two drives you know I was the one who organized them, however, come September, this will be my most important year in school so I will not be able to coordinate this drive (if it happens). TheQ Editor has volunteered to be a coordinator for the drive. If any of you would like to co-coordinator, please notify TheQ Editor on his talk page.
If you would be interested in participating in a Backlog Drive sometime before the end of this year, please notify TheQ Editor. Also, make sure to specify what month(s) work best for you.
At the time this message was sent out, the backlog was at 520 nominations. Since May, the backlog has been steadily increasing and we are currently near an all time high. Even though the backlog will not disappear over one drive, this drive can lead to several others which will (hopefully) lead to the day where there is no longer a backlog.
As always, the more participants, the better, and everyone is encouraged to participate!

What is the use of the "defaultsort" on Human evolution? Dt Mos Ios ( talk) 13:12, 16 August 2014 (UTC).
I don't have time for debates but I looked at the discussion and it seems people arguing against overpopulation in India have no serious sources to prove their point. Even the CIA world factbook states this fact. It has nothing to do with opinion. I even added citations in my edit. Even if majority disagree, they need some reliable sources.-- Taeyebaar ( talk) 00:21, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for responses guys. In response to Joshua's comments above, the area where it says the country continues to face pressing problems. In response to Vanamonde93, we should go by how reliable the sources are. To start with I could mention the CIA world factbook, which is in fact used as a source on wikipedia on country topics, including India, so that would be the strongest source in favor of adding overpopulation to the India article. Otherwise it's questionable that wikipedia uses it as a source but denies it in other situations. But I think what's agreed is it requires further discussion and I'm willing to share all the input I can in the time i have-- Taeyebaar ( talk) 21:46, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
I have started a new discussion on the subject. You are welcomed to post there.-- Taeyebaar ( talk) 20:36, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
@Nizdast thank you.-- Taeyebaar ( talk) 20:12, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello everyone! We hope you have all been having a great summer!
As we all know, the recent GAN Backlog Drives have not had any big impact on the backlog. Because of that, me (Dom497), Figureskatingfan, and TheQ Editor have worked on an idea that could possibly finally put a dent into the massive backlog. Now, I will admit, the idea isn't entirely ours as we have took the general idea of the WikiCup and brought it over to WikiProject Good Articles. But anyways, here's what we have in mind:
For all of you that do not know what the WikiCup is, it is an annual competition between several editors to see who can get the most Good Articles, Featured Article's, Did You Know's, etc. Based of this, we propose to you the GA Cup. This competition will only focus on reviewing Good articles.
For more info on the proposal, click here. As a FYI, the proposal page is not what the final product will look like (if you do go ahead with this idea). It will look very similar to WikiCup's page(s).
The discussion for the proposal will take place here. Please let us know if you are interested, have any concerns, things to consider, etc.

Amazing profile !!! ^_^ Ayesha aqsa ( talk) 18:11, 2 September 2014 (UTC) |
As you can see I get very less time (because of office work) to check Wikipedia. I request you to add Uttar Pradesh, Indian National Congress, Vivah, Allahabad, Maine Pyar Kiya, Amrita Rao and Maharashtra in your watchlist. I have spent so many hours to write these seven articles but IP users doesn't understand and they often vandalize with no genuine reason. Please help.-- 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 07:11, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
![]() WikiProject Good articles is holding a new competition, the GA Cup, from October 1, 2014 - March 28, 2015. The Cup will be based on reviewing Good article nominations; for each review, points will be awarded with bonuses for older nominations, longer articles and comprehensive reviews. All participants will start off in one group and the highest scoring participants will go through to the second round. At the moment six rounds are planned, but this may change based on participant numbers. Some of you may ask: what is the purpose for a competition of this type? Currently, there is a backlog of about 500 unreviewed Good article nominations, almost an all time high. It is our hope that we can decrease the backlog in a fun way, through friendly competition. Everyone is welcome to join; new and old editors! Sign-ups will be open until October 15, 2014 so sign-up now! If you have any questions, take a look at the FAQ page and/or contact one of the four judges. Cheers from NickGibson3900, Dom497, TheQ Editor and Figureskatingfan. -- MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 19:04, 15 September 2014 (UTC) To receive future GA Cup newsletter, please add your name to

I did give a valid reference for my edit. It was listed as 187th in the list of references. Then why was my edit removed???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rampy.g ( talk • contribs) 09:58, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
I wonder why you just mentioned a single word. The whole section should not have been removed just for the dispute of a single word. The other parts of my post has been reliably resourced, including the annual(and decade) mean value and the trend of air quaility in last 14 years (ex. http://usa.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2014-01/03/content_17212783.htm).
The conclusion of "changeable" can also be drawed from one website of Chinese http://bjwb.bjd.com.cn/html/2014-01/02/content_139456.htm that I posted before, where the number of good days (daily mean value, moderate for US standard) was published. Although it was not a strong evidence compared with the calculation of hourly mean. Though won't be accepted as an evidence, I would also like to show you my personal research as I'm a Beijinger: Among 2013, the daily highest visibility reached above 50 km in about 60 days , above 80 km in about 24 days, above 100 km in about 10 days. We have north wind normally once three days at winter, which can reduce the air pollution index in 1-2 hour as Beijing located very near the little pollution area of Mongolia Plateau. In Feb 28, 2013 and Jan 18, 2014, I was surprised to saw that a clear bound over the sky seperating it into 2 parts with yellow color and blue color, with the air quality index jumped up and down in several hours. BeijingCup ( talk) 08:05, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Please attentioned that my post was NOT for refuting the statement "Beijing air quality is often poor...".On the cantrary, it was quite neccessary for describing how poor it was exactly and showing us the trend in last 14 years. BeijingCup ( talk) 08:13, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
Hi, user Jonathansammy seems to be in mood to have edit war. He's making lot of irrelevant edits in Maharashtra. You know article took so much hard work and dedication and this particular user making it suck. Please help.-- 25 CENTS VICTORIOUS ☣ 07:19, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
I have the page Wikipedia:Third opinion on my watch list. I have raised an issue at Wikipedia talk:Twinkle about a problem with the default wording of Twinkle that is a breach of " assume good faith".
You made a revert using Twinkle here. Have you any reason to think that Davidbena, who is an established editor makes bad faith edits? If not why start an editorial comment with "Reverted good faith edits by Davidbena:". If you assume good faith then there is no reason for such a comment unless you think that Davidbena makes bad faith edits.
For example you would not expect me to save this edit with "Comments on gold faith revert by Ugog Nizdast: ..." because anyone who reads the edit comment may think that I think you make bad faith reverts, if not, why would I write it if I assume good faith? I have recently been told on Wikipedia talk:Twinkle that you do not have to select that default wording -- but I would not know as I don't use Twinkle. -- PBS ( talk) 15:40, 29 September 2014 (UTC)
Can either of you tell me how to best proceed in a dispute over an image displayed (in my view, provocatively) over the Yemenite Jews main article? See Talk page, sub-section "Flouting an Ethnic Group," for further details. I am loathe to begin an editing war with someone who may have the power to block me from editing, and, yet, I feel that I am in the right here. Please advise.

Amazing! For the first time ever somebody has actually responded to a peer review request! Will pigs evolve wings next? I thank you sincerely for your support. Kurzon ( talk) 11:04, 3 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments in the peer review, though I was more looking for feedback on the science rather than the layout - did I get the maths right, are all the facts accurate? Kurzon ( talk) 13:55, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
