Hello, I'm RileyBugz. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think a mistake was made, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Daniel Pfeiffer, this IP will be blocked from editing privileges. Quis separabit? 02:52, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
You reverted me here [1] and here [2], but your edit summaries make no sense, could you tell me the reason for your reverts? Also please see the talk page for the Greater Good article, I am not sure what you mean by "JAQing off" was this supposed to mean something? Tornado chaser ( talk) 13:36, 4 July 2017 (UTC)
Hi. I have reverted your good faith edits which removed content from Australian Measles Control Campaign. Whilst it appears true that the anti-vaccine lobby were wrong to criticise dire outcomes from the measles vaccination campaign, my assessment is that the content you removed was not only neutral in tone, but that it was relevant to give balance to the article and also correctly-cited reliable sources. The section demonstrated that criticism, and it presented the data that showed those predictions were utter tosh, and cited an official's response to their warnings. I can see from your edit history that you are keen (possibly a little too keen at times) to remove content you think is unsound or incorrectly cited. But in this case I think retention is valid and that you were wrong to act as you did. It certainly doesn't promote the lobbyists. I hope you appreciate where I'm coming from with this.
I would urge you to take care not to confuse removal of all science-critical content or deleting poorly cited factual statements with making a net-positive contribution to Wikipedia editing. Quite a few of your edits I would support, especially where you've cleaned out promotional content and false pseudo-science statements that were unsupported by evidence. But others, possibly like some of your edits to El Capitan and certainly the measles campaign could be construed less positively. If the citations are poor, go look for better ones first, please. I would also urge you to register for a user account and put something about your Wikipedia editing interests on your User Page as this will make it less likely that a future admin will block your IP address for what might be deemed as disruptive editing, even when done in good faith. Please take this as constructive and supportive feedback, not criticism. It's always hard to get 'tone' across in text. Regards from the UK, Nick Moyes ( talk) 00:05, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
My apology. May I suggest adding such a link to your edit summary? Cheers Jim1138 ( talk) 09:02, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
Exactly what do you mean by "predatory journal"? Seems to be a fairly broad and vague category. Jim1138 ( talk) 08:58, 5 November 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for your work in removing all these predatory journals, which are inherently not reliable due to their lack of peer review. I wonder how we could prevent their further usage on Wikipedia. My name isnotdave ( talk/ contribs) 18:55, 5 November 2017 (UTC) |
Removing content referenced to low quality academic journals. This should be discussed on case by case basis. There is no policy supporting removal of content just because the journal is low quality. -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 11:51, 8 November 2017 (UTC)
Hello. I noticed that you attempted to file a deletion discussion on the article Balkrishna but did not complete the process. Please note that, when listing an article for deletion, a discussion page needs to be made for other users to discuss whether to keep or delete the article. This is typically done by following the steps listed here. Note that if you are editing as an unregistered user, you cannot create a discussion page. Please consider registering an account or asking another user to help you complete the process at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion. Thank you. ansh 666 18:04, 10 November 2017 (UTC)
Abd a banned Wikipedia editor has requested a global lock for your IP address [3] on meta-wiki where he is still active. He also put your IP on his 'study' here. His study is a slanderous hit-piece against skeptical users he has a grudge against. He mixes and confuses about 5 different skeptical users and different IPs and says they are the same banned user AngloPyramidologist. Basically if any IP address mentions Abd's username he claims this is 'harassment' and he logs the IP or user on his study. You might want to write a letter to the Wiki-Media foundation. An admin needs to globally ban Abd and remove his misinformation. I was just giving you a heads up about this. Something really does need to be done about Abd's harassment. He is using Meta-Wiki to host his personal grudges. 193.70.12.237 ( talk) 19:38, 17 December 2017 (UTC)
[4] he had been banned all over the web. 82.132.226.145 ( talk) 13:02, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
He has abused the Meta.Wikimedia.org website. He recently filed a check user request for a bunch of different people including your IP [5] The O2 is me but I have no idea who the others are. He claims it is "LTA disruption". What disruption? This guy is harrasing people and posting fake checkuser evidence. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.132.226.145 ( talk) 13:11, 21 December 2017 (UTC)
You've done a lot of good work with fighting predatory publishers and low-quality sources, including at least one case I missed. Cheers. RexSueciae ( talk) 05:11, 6 February 2018 (UTC)
