Hello, I see that you have been active in editing the Ole Nydahl article. Recently it seems that unbalanced edits are being made to this article, mainly that well-sourced quotes are being removed from the controversies section of the article. I have recently reverted some of these edits before creating this account, but I can only do so much without breaking the 3 revert rule. I ask that you help keep the article balanced, and in accord with Wikipedia guidelines.

Thanks for uploading Image:Oxford Brookes University Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Could you please have a look over at Radon transform. There is an editor insistent upon adding another reference to the article, to a recent book by Gabor Herman. (This same editor, incidentally, is spamming the same reference over many related articles.) Initially I removed it because it already has enough references—many of which were presumably used in writing it, some were added awhile back by you I think. The editor then re-inserted the reference, claiming on my talk page that it was superior to the others (a dubious claim that I have replied to). At any rate, while I will certainly defend my decision to remove the reference, I'm ultimately not that invested in it one way or the other. An outside opinion would be helpful here.

Hello Billlion! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 971 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hello. This edit prompts some comments.
TeX is sophisticated. If you write 4 \mathrm{sup}_f A, it looks like this:
But if you write 4 \sup_f A, it looks like this:
The difference is not only that the ƒ appears directly under "sup", but also that spacing before and after "sup" is automatically provided according to standard style conventions (note the space between 4 and sup in the second case and the lack of such space in the first case), and in some contexts, the size gets adjusted according to standard usages.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 05:14, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:CT of human thorax showing current paths for EIT.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor ( talk) 00:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
A few months ago, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it.

Thanks for the changes you've made to the article. If you add a stub template to an article then it's a good idea to check the talk page to see what class the article was carrying. It was listed as a start-class. I've changed that to stub-class to avoid inconsistencies. It's worth making sure you check the talk page before making changes to articles. Thanks again for the edits, and keep up the good work. — Fly by Night ( talk) 03:22, 16 January 2011 (UTC)

Re 'Mongol invasions'. There are 2 POVs. The Tibetan religious historical tradition see negotiations with the Mongols from 1206 to 1251 as precluding invasion by an agreement between the Mongols as the Sa-skya religious authority. The essentially Sinocentric view cites a cavalry incursion that burnt two monasteries to the north of Lhasa and killed several hundred monks in 1240 as an 'invasion'. 34 years ago, Wylie showed these are just POVs simplying a period which, for the obscurity of testimonies, we know little about, and the misinformation is repeated in many secondary sources. But it is certain that there was no 'Mongol invasion' of Tibet (the whole ununified plateau) in the sense that there was a Mongol invasion of 19 other countries in that century. The 'main article' is no such thing. It cites a few sources, but is thinner in substantive detail than the History of Tibet section I was editing. A lot of these pages seem intent on establishing retroactively the modern Chinese case for sovereignty over Tibet (which it indeed now exercises) on the basis of (a)Mongols unified China (b)Tibet acceded to Mongol claims for submission (c)therefore China's claim to Tibet dates from these invents. On this principle, China's soverenty extends to Hunbgary and Baghdad. I'm not interested in POV battles. I'm interested in what the best academic intelligence says about the specific facts of any period, and the word 'invasion' here is inappropriate. Nishidani ( talk) 13:27, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
I am trying to clear up the backlog of split tags. Taking a quick look, I think the proposal to split the article was opposed and would therefore have removed the split tag.

Thank you for uploading File:Akong Tulku Rinpoche throne.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

This edit should not have been marked as minor. Anything that chops around the substantive text of the aricle is not minor, even if nothing new was added. Anything that another editor may want to revert (and this certainly met that category) is not minor. You seem to be doing this quite a lot: I did not have to look far into your history to find these example breaches of WP:MINOR: [1] (adding a visible tag), [2] (adding content - and by the way that edit has at least two spelling errors so other editors will certainly want to look at it), [3] (changing meaning), [4] (removing an external link). Please take the time to read the guideline. Spinning Spark 14:17, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

You uploaded, File:Samye ling stupa and statue.jpg, where you either stated or implied that you had permission of a third party to upload it; or that evidence of such permission would be provided on request.
Unless there's some record of that permission, it's harder to confirm if any given permission is genuine. Wikipedia currently needs the permission to be explicitly proven at the time of upload, and recorded in the OTRS permission queue, for this reason.
Please read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, which advises on how to confirm permissions you obtained from a third party.
It is also advisable to ask the third-party what source attribution they desire, as opposed to marking the image as having been "sent personally".
If permission is not confirmed, and recorded as detailed above, the media may have to be removed so that Wikipedia stays in compliance with copyright law and policy in some jurisdictions.

Hello, Billlion. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Mwala School".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further 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.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 14:59, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. Still trying to find my feet so will stick with one page for the moment. I've been mainly checking info and inserting citations. I am finding that on a biographical page most of the information cited either comes directly from the subject himself or those associated with him. I've tried looking at academic papers but to be honest, if you look at them most tend to cite the same sources. I didn't think Wikipedia would accept personal blogs etc as credible independent sources because when I try to add a link to an academic paper it wasn't accepted because the site hosted personal blogs which were not deemed credible. However, I will take on board your advice and try to find more independent sources as you suggest to ensure that there is no bias. Have a great day.
Hello, Billlion, sounds like a stupid question, but can I can add references from other Wikipedia pages? Sarahcannell ( talk) 16:06, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello, I see that you have been active in editing the Ole Nydahl article. Recently it seems that unbalanced edits are being made to this article, mainly that well-sourced quotes are being removed from the controversies section of the article. I have recently reverted some of these edits before creating this account, but I can only do so much without breaking the 3 revert rule. I ask that you help keep the article balanced, and in accord with Wikipedia guidelines.

Thanks for uploading Image:Oxford Brookes University Logo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot ( talk) 05:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Could you please have a look over at Radon transform. There is an editor insistent upon adding another reference to the article, to a recent book by Gabor Herman. (This same editor, incidentally, is spamming the same reference over many related articles.) Initially I removed it because it already has enough references—many of which were presumably used in writing it, some were added awhile back by you I think. The editor then re-inserted the reference, claiming on my talk page that it was superior to the others (a dubious claim that I have replied to). At any rate, while I will certainly defend my decision to remove the reference, I'm ultimately not that invested in it one way or the other. An outside opinion would be helpful here.

Hello Billlion! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 971 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

Hello. This edit prompts some comments.
TeX is sophisticated. If you write 4 \mathrm{sup}_f A, it looks like this:
But if you write 4 \sup_f A, it looks like this:
The difference is not only that the ƒ appears directly under "sup", but also that spacing before and after "sup" is automatically provided according to standard style conventions (note the space between 4 and sup in the second case and the lack of such space in the first case), and in some contexts, the size gets adjusted according to standard usages.

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.
Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.
When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.
If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles ( talk) 05:14, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for uploading File:CT of human thorax showing current paths for EIT.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. It may be deleted soon, unless we can determine the license and the source of the file. If you know this information, then you can add a copyright tag to the image description page.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. ww2censor ( talk) 00:29, 3 November 2010 (UTC)
A few months ago, I posted a new proposal for Tibetan naming conventions, i.e. conventions that can be used to determine the most appropriate titles for articles related to the Tibetan region. This came out of discussions about article titles on Talk:Qamdo and Talk:Lhoka (Shannan) Prefecture. I hope that discussions on the proposal's talk page will lead to consensus in favour of making these conventions official, but so far only a few editors have left comments. If you would be interested in taking a look at the proposed naming conventions and giving your opinion, I would definitely appreciate it. Thanks — Nat Krause( Talk!· What have I done?) 22:08, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for the changes you've made to the article. If you add a stub template to an article then it's a good idea to check the talk page to see what class the article was carrying. It was listed as a start-class. I've changed that to stub-class to avoid inconsistencies. It's worth making sure you check the talk page before making changes to articles.

Re 'Mongol invasions'. There are 2 POVs. The Tibetan religious historical tradition see negotiations with the Mongols from 1206 to 1251 as precluding invasion by an agreement between the Mongols as the Sa-skya religious authority. The essentially Sinocentric view cites a cavalry incursion that burnt two monasteries to the north of Lhasa and killed several hundred monks in 1240 as an 'invasion'. 34 years ago, Wylie showed these are just POVs simplying a period which, for the obscurity of testimonies, we know little about, and the misinformation is repeated in many secondary sources. But it is certain that there was no 'Mongol invasion' of Tibet (the whole ununified plateau) in the sense that there was a Mongol invasion of 19 other countries in that century. The 'main article' is no such thing. It cites a few sources, but is thinner in substantive detail than the History of Tibet section I was editing. A lot of these pages seem intent on establishing retroactively the modern Chinese case for sovereignty over Tibet (which it indeed now exercises) on the basis of (a)Mongols unified China (b)Tibet acceded to Mongol claims for submission (c)therefore China's claim to Tibet dates from these invents. On this principle, China's soverenty extends to Hunbgary and Baghdad. I'm not interested in POV battles. I'm interested in what the best academic intelligence says about the specific facts of any period, and the word 'invasion' here is inappropriate. Nishidani ( talk) 13:27, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
I am trying to clear up the backlog of split tags. Taking a quick look, I think the proposal to split the article was opposed and would therefore have removed the split tag.

Thank you for uploading File:Akong Tulku Rinpoche throne.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.
If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.
Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged.

This edit should not have been marked as minor. Anything that chops around the substantive text of the aricle is not minor, even if nothing new was added. Anything that another editor may want to revert (and this certainly met that category) is not minor. You seem to be doing this quite a lot: I did not have to look far into your history to find these example breaches of WP:MINOR: [1] (adding a visible tag), [2] (adding content - and by the way that edit has at least two spelling errors so other editors will certainly want to look at it), [3] (changing meaning), [4] (removing an external link). Please take the time to read the guideline. Spinning Spark 14:17, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

Also:
You uploaded, File:Samye ling stupa and statue.jpg, where you either stated or implied that you had permission of a third party to upload it; or that evidence of such permission would be provided on request.
Unless there's some record of that permission, it's harder to confirm if any given permission is genuine. Wikipedia currently needs the permission to be explicitly proven at the time of upload, and recorded in the OTRS permission queue, for this reason.
Please read Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission, which advises on how to confirm permissions you obtained from a third party.
It is also advisable to ask the third-party what source attribution they desire, as opposed to marking the image as having been "sent personally".
If permission is not confirmed, and recorded as detailed above, the media may have to be removed so that Wikipedia stays in compliance with copyright law and policy in some jurisdictions.

An article you recently created,
Mwala School, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from
reliable,
independent sources. (
?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (
verifiability is of
central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to
draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:
" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's
general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. --

The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Reywas92 Talk 18:53, 22 January 2020 (UTC)
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.
You have shown interest in the intersection of race/ethnicity and human abilities and behaviour. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.
For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.
Hello, Billlion!
Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the
Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the
Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there!

Hi Billlion, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.
Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.
To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!
Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 ( talk)

Hello, Billlion. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, " Mwala School".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further 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.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 14:59, 19 October 2020 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice. Still trying to find my feet so will stick with one page for the moment. I've been mainly checking info and inserting citations. I am finding that on a biographical page most of the information cited either comes directly from the subject himself or those associated with him. I've tried looking at academic papers but to be honest, if you look at them most tend to cite the same sources. I didn't think Wikipedia would accept personal blogs etc as credible independent sources because when I try to add a link to an academic paper it wasn't accepted because the site hosted personal blogs which were not deemed credible. However, I will take on board your advice and try to find more independent sources as you suggest to ensure that there is no bias. Have a great day.
Hello, Billlion, sounds like a stupid question, but can I can add references from other Wikipedia pages? Sarahcannell ( talk) 16:06, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

Hello! I wanted to drop a quick note for all of our AFC participants; nothing huge and fancy like a newsletter, but a few points of interest.
Short and sweet, but there's always more to discuss at WT:AFC. Stop on by, maybe review a draft on the way? Whether you're one of our top reviewers, or haven't reviewed in a while, I want to thank you for helping out in the past and in the future. Cheers, Primefac, via MediaWiki message delivery ( talk) 15:59, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:List of principals of Mwala School up to 2020.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{ non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. -- Minorax«¦ talk¦» 02:23, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
