I have added material that is correctly sourced and have removed any promotional and non-neutrally worded information from before. Why does this keep being removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bycapricelingerie ( talk • contribs) 13:28, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
My mistake, no vandalism intended. I was reading the dates on this page incorrectly. Thought I was making an accurate correction. I caught my mistake, but it was already corrected. Apologies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikibert7 ( talk • contribs) 17:40, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the job. I´m SP WP user, so when you need any translation (from english to spanish) ask me. It´s more likely you find me there. I´m not sure I´m so good translating backwards, but if I can help you, great. See you. -- Andreateletrabajo ( talk) 06:58, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey Begoon. I had a question. Is it possible to start a club on wikipedia? For example, I was interested in starting (or contributing) in political discussion. The discussion could just be a civil debate about our views and opinions around wikipedia. Is there anything like that or can I start anything like that? ChaosMaster Chat 01:08, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
Dear Sir Begoon, I'm Shiaislam2010 From Kuwait (really i am a Shi'a muslim a twelver shia muslim) My real name is 'Ali Jawad Al-mo'men . I really like the thing you wrote to me . But i was Just creating an Article of Shi'a Muslims In theKonw World whats the problem with that Tell your real name sir Begoon (I Know You're From USA). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shiaislam2010 ( talk • contribs) 10:23, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Hi Begoon,
Just a quick query, I noticed you had taken my links of referencing the international grading and syllabus scheme (AAP) set up by the Pole Dance Community website. You have stated that this is it due to being a commercial site when it is actually a trade body. I am new to wiki so am a little unsure how it all works? There are other links to commercial sites such as Miss pole dance World?
Any advice you have for me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the info, although I am not associated with the organisation, I do pole dance. The problem is that there are many pole competitions which front rather dodgy establishments. This organisation actually does good things for the sport. There is no need to promote the site, as far as I know as long as you click pole dance the IPDFA site pops up. It would be great if I could get advise on how to highlight this competition as a legitimate pole sport event. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicolette Tay ( talk • contribs) 06:56, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
So... my wikibreak is at its tail-end. :) I'm already starting to think about the amount of work I have with WikiProject Malaysia. :p Anyway, the break didn't start well. There was a heated Afd and I started my first SPI as a result of that. But yeah, can't wait to get back to regular editing. Bejinhan talks 10:03, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
Begoon,
I noticed you removed the additions to the Oksana Girgorieva page I posted last night. No, I am not the website you posted on you reasoning page- www.podium-group.com. I own a business and shorted the names of it to fit on wikipedias username page. If it is neccesary for me to change my username to allow ACCURATE postings to be done, so be it. But the information I supplied is 100% accurate based on a search on the USPTO website. All of the information is provable and should be reinstated as it is unbiased and accurate. If you disagree, that is of course your right. But again, I am not part of any group and there is no conflict of interest involved.

Begoon,
Thank you for the reply. I am new to posting on Wiki so I will make sure to include the sources which of course is the USPTO site. Again, there is no conflict here as I have never met this person or Mel Gibson for that matter! As for the username, can I just change it or do I have to do the whole re-registering thing again?

Hello Begoon. You seem active at the Graphic Lab, so I wanted to invite you to participate in The Signpost's interview of the project. The report is being written by Rock drum and will be published September 13; this is an excellent opportunity to draw attention to your efforts and attract new members to the project. Please stop by and answer some interview questions here. Thank you, �ono

Can you nip the r-trademark out of File:Royal Rangers.svg, per WPMOS? It wasn't in the original, and Wiki is against it. Thanks-- Chris (クリス • フィッチ) ( talk) 09:37, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
Hey Begoon. On V (2009 TV series), there seems to be a disagreement between another user and I. On my talk-page, we have discussed the issue (after an edit war). I feel that your opinion could help resolve it, as I don't want to start another edit war and/or be reported for further mishandling the issue. Do you mind chiming in to the discussion? ChaosMaster Chat 01:09, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
I have tried to initiate a discussion about the series overview on the television talk page, and, for the most part, have kept my distance from the "V" episode list. My reply doesn't come because of the previous issue (though I think it's related), but because it seems the same user keeps reverting a good majority of my edits to other articles without initiating a discussion about why (s)he disagrees about those edits. Specifically, here, when I explained why I made the certain edit and provided a link to the guideline, the user reverted my revision stating that there was "nothing there to enforce" the change. Even if that is the case, couldn't the user start a discussion about it? Neither of us should "enforce" either change, this isn't the American legal system here. Furthermore, this revert uses the same explination of most of his revisions on the "V" episode list (restoring); this revert seems like it was goaled to help the article, but the user reverted this also. Other than those, nothing pops out by looking at his first two pages of contributions. But the user did warn me of an edit war without warning the other user (who is a newer editor) involved. Is there any way that this could be resolved without causing more warnings, bans, and without causing harsh words or feelings? I don't mean to be a burden :/ ChaosMaster Chat 23:02, 22 August 2010 (UTC)
I'm afraid that I can't offfer you much concrete help. Sometimes editors differ and cannot agree. In those circumstances I would firstly politely ask why a revert was done, and then leave it at that. Certainly when the content in question is a style issue rather than facts being incorrect, it's seldom really worth the aggravation of a dispute. I know that seems as though I am saying just give in, but really what I'm saying is that when there is no real pressing need for a change, your time would be better spent improving other articles. If you get to the point where you have a real problem with another user, there are dispute procedures, but do you really want to spend all your available wiki time in a formal procedure about something that probably isn't too important? There is no rush to "finish" an article, so what I do in these circumstances is find something else to edit for a while, and watch how the other article evolves. Style issues can be important, but never really enough to get in a confrontation. You only need to look at the ongoing fight about actor table formats in movie articles to see how easily editors can be sucked into a huge, frustrating waste of time and energy. The time spent on that dispute could have written another 50 articles. Begoon talk 23:29, 22 August 2010 (UTC)

I used the coat of arms you uploaded for the navigation template but someone removed it because it is not permitted in templates "per the WP:NFCC #9 criteria". Bejinhan talks 14:03, 25 August 2010 (UTC)
I noticed you are a member of Wikiproject Malaysia and have worked on the Malaysia. May I suggest that you try to get the wikiproject to edit some important Malaysian articles that link from the main Malaysia page, but are, in all honesty, terrible? The Malaysia page was very good, and people have obviously spent a long time working on them. However, this came at the expense of articles like Culture of Malaysia, which is about the same length (if not shorter) as the culture section on Malaysia. Other articles like Healthcare in Malaysia also need help. A lot of this could be done by simply shifting information to the articles, as I have recently attempted with History of Malaysia and Demographics of Malaysia. Just my thoughts.
