I'm way behind. Here you gave an interesting explanation about being autoconfirmed, although you said the person had to edit 4 articles before they could be autoconfirmed. You actually meant 10 since it's 4 days and 10 edits, but in fact it could be ten edits to the same page. And that wouldn't even have to be an article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:45, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
It seems to me rather strange that you protected a talk page indefinitely. I can see that there was a long track record of disruptive editing that merited a lot longer than the usual weeks or even months. I can see a case to protect a main space article indefinitely though it ought to be a really exceptional case for a high profile biography of a living person. Setting a time limit forces a review, even if it has to be because of renewed disruptive editing. Hard cases make bad law. In the case of tropical year and talk:tropical year, it looks like an anon editor is trying to make a good faith edit and the discussion about the change is happening in the edit summaries instead of the talk page.

Yet most of the content is already covered at Carrie Lam as Chief Executive of Hong Kong. It is not necessary to have the exact same information on two different articles. Doesn’t matter if it’s “repeated elsewhere in the article”, if another article already covers it, there should only be a brief summary and a hatnote on the primary article.

This is a bush move. Don't do this. Nobody gives a rat's ass about what the official name is. What matters is what people call it. See WP:COMMONNAME. Also see the two recent discussion on the talk page where it was decided not to move the article. Either you are aware of these, in which case you know perfectly well that the move was way out of line, or else you're not aware of them, in which case you shouldn't be moving articles.

Hello friend from the USA It's Ahab You did a bad move shutting down the discussion on Harriet Owen/Sophie B. Hawkins I am asking where sources are that show that they are different people and instead you guys are being unhelpful, thinking i'm doing something else. You had better have a good reason without links to long-winded policies for shutting down that discussion. thanks. 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 13:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
I suggest you stop calling me names like insane dear friend. It only reinforces my feelings towards you guys in the red white and blue country. Also since you're an admin, I invite you to read why it is that I will not take orders from an American like that, "you will stop it" as opposed to the request "please sto pit". I have no problem discussing things wit hyou, and I have no problems taking suggestions from you or any other users, but you will not give me orders. I can't take orders from Americans because you guys continue to attack my country of origin, and you guys support the Saudis, who have destroyed the area I live in. As for the discussions themselves, Im' being combative because everybody links me to long long policy pages. I can't just skim through them like you sighted people can. What I have to do is use my creen-reader called JAWS to listen to the whole page in hopes of finding somethign that relates to what's going on. Try listening to a monotonous voie read out pollicies, and it's as interesting as watching paint dry. So yes, I will take suggestions from you, I will have discussions from you, but I will never take orders from any American until the USA stops attacking Yemen and the Aden area, that I called home for the first part of my life. The bad people are gone, please, leave Yemen alone. That is why I cannot take any orders form Americans. here's something to remember, أنا صديقك وليس المرؤوس الخاص بك 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 13:35, 26 March 2019 (UTC) it means i am your friend, not your subbordinates. 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 13:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

This may help explain why I don't take orders from Americans baseball bugs. Let's say an arsonist comes around and burns your house down. You ended up finding out the arsonist is Mr. Jones. Then a time later mr. Jones comes and starts bossing you around. are you going to let Mr. Jones order you around? no! Mr. Jones goes to jail and comes out a changed man, wiling to discuss things and what not. But then he comes and starts ordering you around again. Are you going to follow his orders, knowing that he burned down your house? I wouldn't. I hope that helps. Also cut the racism and xenophobia crap, if somebody came and destroyed your home you'd dislike them too. and I said I'd engage with Americans I just won't take orders from them. 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 14:41, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello Take a look at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Entertainment where some guy with a long number username tries to do this big huge exposé on me. He links some IP addresses with similar numbers to the one I use, and tha thave some similarities to me (one's blind the 23 one that I'm wondering if he messed u pwith that one), but hasn't explained how I match this troll to a T. By the looks of things, the troll is anti-American while I just ask that they not essentially boss me around due to the war in yemen. As for the blind guy at the 23 IP address this perosn mentions, he's Eritrean, and I have no idea where the 199 addresses are from. We geolocate to the same general area, maybe there's a wiki troll in the area I am in, i don't know. I can see we both are bad typists too (not insulting anyone) Can you please weigh in on my talk page and help me move the discussion there rather than on the ref desk? thanks 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 01:38, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
I do want to point out something that I remember from my time in the UK when I edited from some UK IP addresses, I was accused of being a troll, linked to a
guy named Cuddlyable3 (an odd name hence why I remembe rit, sounds cartoony), and they said we had similar behaviors, save th elack of asking Americans not to come after me.
marnetteD and
2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 had better have some damn good explanations for claiming i am trolling. I mean it. After the Cuddlyable incident a couple years ago I'm not really willing to take an accusation at face value.

Update:
Apparently now I am
Comet Egyot or maybe I'm
Nissae Isen's man or I don't know wh oelse, on my talk page I'm also being linked to
User:Eric Ramus
The one making the accusations there is
this user.
Can all this bullshit stop lease? I'm losing my patience here big time.
First, it was cuddlyable3 when I lived in the UK. I move to Canada, have some time to edit, and now I'm Commet Egypt or Nissea's man or Eric Ramus or eric the red or whatever whatever i'm going mental here!
Seriously, can you please talk to these people because short of me showing them my immigration papers I have no way of proving I moved to Canada in June of 2018, and I don't like the idea of having to go to suc hlengths to prove I am who I am.
This is cuddlyable3 all over again and I will not have it.
Maybe Wikipedia is a toxic environment after all. I sure as hell feel poisoned after all of this crap, it'sa disaster.
I can't speak to whether any of these users used my IP before me, I can only speak to what I know, and I know that I have never had an account, unless somebody used my e-mail address to create one several years ago. I did have my e-mail hacked i nlike 2015 or so, but I don't know if there was an account because when I tried creating an account last year my e-mail was associated with an existing account.
SO I am begging you, help help help! thanks

About the ongoing discussion at /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents#Personal_attacks,_POV-pushing,_refspamming_and_attempts_to_unilaterally_override_AfD_consensus_by_91.169.1.118_and_probable_socks
XOR'easter is misleading, is distorting facts by giving microscopic and insignificant details, and is giving voluntarily a very biased/erroneous view; a quick read of the article's Talk discussion should be enough to agree. But this is not my point. I wonder why nobody ask why XOR'easter is constantly scratching the surface of the debate (and agreeing with some gentle words he/she was wrong to begin 3RR with me), instead of discussing the root fact : his/her opinion on theories disqualify him/her to contribute on cosmology related articles, because of total lack of NPOV! Detailed examples : 1) why is it strictly impossible to publish a single sentence about the crisis in cosmology whatever the huge number of valid primary and secondary references ? /info/en/?search=Talk:Bimetric_gravity 2) why having failed this simple test, is XOR'easter still allowed to be a WP admin, without even starting a debate about a ban? cf URL provided by XOR'easter himself : /info/en/?search=Talk:Black_hole#Absence_of_central_singularity_according_to_new_scientific_articles
You say the proposed sources are not enough. Please answer these questions : 1) where is written that the present article should be considered with different rules than others WP articles ? 2) to clarify Notability, give us a precise list of the minimum mandatory criteria (qualitatively and quantitatively) to add the proposed sentences in the article, according to yourself (for instance: the authors must received Nobel Price, one of them has to be named Time's magazine Man of the Year). 3) map each criteria with a WP rule (not a guideline) If you fail to provide 3) in a few days, then this would mean your approach is arbitrary. Such approach, a.k.a censorship, has no place in WP. --80.215.195.0 (talk) 09:05, 20 January 2019 (UTC)

Hi - you just reverted my request for page protection - did I do something wrong? thanks GirthSummit (blether) 17:47, 8 April 2019 (UTC)
Hi,
I want to ask you a quick alternate history question. I'm asking it here because the Ref Desks aren't supposed to be for AH questions. Anyway, here goes:
Had there been no Spanish-American War (for instance, as a result of the USS Maine being sunk in US waters rather than in Cuban waters), do you think that Puerto Rico would have remained a part of Spain up to the present-day or do you think that Puerto Rico would have eventually acquired independence from Spain and become an independent country?

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:36, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.

You said, "Also, "swing feel" is wrong; it is not a dotted rhythm, which is what "swing" means." This is patently false. From here: https://www.howmusicworks.org/510/Meter-and-Rhythm/Straight-and-Swing-Timing "You will sometimes see this type of rhythm notated using dotted eighth-notes and sixteenth-notes, as shown below. This seems convenient, but it is incorrect, and should be avoided. Listen carefully to how this notation actually sounds and you will hear it is not the same as swing timing." Also, the citation from the YT channel Signals Music Studio has many incorrect assumptions. Such as timing a song with a stop-watch. You don't count music using microseconds. You use rhythm. "the time signature is often reported as 5 8, but is closer to 21 32, though it is unlikely Metallica actually intended to count 21 beats" At that tempo there are zero people on earth that can count 21/32 beats. You could at least know something about music before you get authoritative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1970:4B5A:1D00:F07D:3D8B:F0EA:9C30 ( talk • contribs)
Rich, considering you made up that thing about swing feel and dotted rhythms are the same thing. And I did check the source. It was wrong. Dissecting music using a stop-watch leads to the wrong conclusions. Which if you would simply conduct this experiment for yourself by starting with the lyrics "End of passion play..." For each beat of the song, count it. 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 2 3 4 5 Repeat. You would't be taken in by this bogus "proof" you keep citing. But good luck trying to convince dilettantes of anything. Especially ones that refuse to do tests.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1970:4B5A:1D00:F07D:3D8B:F0EA:9C30 ( talk • contribs) Lazy and immature. Great. I'm sure you'll find those flat-earth videos compelling proof too.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1970:4B5A:1D00:F07D:3D8B:F0EA:9C30 ( talk • contribs)
I'm sorry for being cross with you. I didn't appreciate you lying to me. Anyway, the trouble with citing a source is that the sheet music is copyrighted. Making an honest discussion about whats going on in the music, difficult. So, I guess people will just have to have bad info. swing feel and dotted rhythms are the same thing
Sigh. The relationship between "swing" notes is 66/33. The relationship between a dotted eighth note and an eighth note is 75/25. Please graduate from a conservatory. Or at least buy the music theory syllabus and study to grade 8. Yet another citation concerning swing rhythm vs dotted rhythm: http://www2.siba.fi/muste1/index.php?id=99&la=en Just because you "can represent it that way" doesn't mean it "IS that way". "You'll find many sources that will use dotted notation to indicate a swing feel." I'll also find many sources that use the phoneme ax to indicate ask. That doesn't make them correct. |

Hi there. I believe you oversaw the interaction ban I have with another editor here and here. The ban had been problem-free until this edit today. I have no issue with the violation (perhaps he forgot the IBAN, who knows), but I disagree with his edit.

Thank you for your edits to Commonwealth of England (in April 2019}. Unfortunately you did not add any citations to support you additions. I have placed a template at the top of the article requesting citations (see WP:CHALLENGE) You need to supply inline citations to reliable sources to support your new text as the WP:BURDEN is on you to do so.
I appreciate that a lot of the text does not have inline citations to reliable sources, however that is because in the past verification was laxer than it is now. In the end all of the text in the article will need to be supported by inline citations, but we should not be adding new text to articles unless it is supported by inline citations to reliable sources. -- PBS ( talk) 17:49, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
Also during you edit you changed some of the section headers. One of which contained an intext comment:
to
But you did not change the redirect
So any article using that redirect would no longer link to the appropriate section. The best way to fix that problem is to include a {{
anchor|1659–1660}}
in the article when you see such an intext comment

Your comment was a direct reply, but it seemed useful so I left it in. Sorry if it makes you look a little like you're pontificating for no reason. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 20:51, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

It appears incivility towards other people's work is catching. Having an article I worked hard on being described as a "crap article" and one that is "sub-standard", are just two phrases that makes me think why I bother to write anything at all. I'm apathetic towards the main page and TFA is a waste of time. I care not one bit about your opinion towards my writing abilities as I've gone through your contributions and see nothing special, but your rather obvious display of contempt towards those who bother to write anything decent, is utterly disgraceful. And I'm not entirely surprised to see that you're an admin. You seem to be a pretty sub-standard one. Not nice, is it. Cassianto Talk 16:33, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
"I'm not exactly sure why, but those of you fighting to ensure that a maintenance tag goes unfixed have not yet proposed a replacement article 2 days out so we can avoid having a substandard article on the main page."What you are saying is that having an article with a tag on it makes it "substandard". It doesn't, it makes it fair game to be fixed. Cassianto Talk 17:22, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Maybe you could take a look at the article and update the nomination, if you find it appropriate?

I'm way behind. Here you gave an interesting explanation about being autoconfirmed, although you said the person had to edit 4 articles before they could be autoconfirmed. You actually meant 10 since it's 4 days and 10 edits, but in fact it could be ten edits to the same page. And that wouldn't even have to be an article.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:45, 18 January 2019 (UTC)
It seems to me rather strange that you protected a talk page indefinitely. I can see that there was a long track record of disruptive editing that merited a lot longer than the usual weeks or even months. I can see a case to protect a main space article indefinitely though it ought to be a really exceptional case for a high profile biography of a living person. Setting a time limit forces a review, even if it has to be because of renewed disruptive editing. Hard cases make bad law.

Hello friend from the USA It's Ahab You did a bad move shutting down the discussion on Harriet Owen/Sophie B. Hawkins I am asking where sources are that show that they are different people and instead you guys are being unhelpful, thinking i'm doing something else. You had better have a good reason without links to long-winded policies for shutting down that discussion. thanks. 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 13:09, 26 March 2019 (UTC)
I suggest you stop calling me names like insane dear friend. It only reinforces my feelings towards you guys in the red white and blue country. Also since you're an admin, I invite you to read why it is that I will not take orders from an American like that, "you will stop it" as opposed to the request "please sto pit". I have no problem discussing things wit hyou, and I have no problems taking suggestions from you or any other users, but you will not give me orders. I can't take orders from Americans because you guys continue to attack my country of origin, and you guys support the Saudis, who have destroyed the area I live in. As for the discussions themselves, Im' being combative because everybody links me to long long policy pages. I can't just skim through them like you sighted people can. What I have to do is use my creen-reader called JAWS to listen to the whole page in hopes of finding somethign that relates to what's going on. Try listening to a monotonous voie read out pollicies, and it's as interesting as watching paint dry. So yes, I will take suggestions from you, I will have discussions from you, but I will never take orders from any American until the USA stops attacking Yemen and the Aden area, that I called home for the first part of my life. The bad people are gone, please, leave Yemen alone. That is why I cannot take any orders form Americans. here's something to remember, أنا صديقك وليس المرؤوس الخاص بك 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 13:35, 26 March 2019 (UTC) it means i am your friend, not your subbordinates. 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 13:37, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

This may help explain why I don't take orders from Americans baseball bugs. Let's say an arsonist comes around and burns your house down. You ended up finding out the arsonist is Mr. Jones. Then a time later mr. Jones comes and starts bossing you around. are you going to let Mr. Jones order you around? no! Mr. Jones goes to jail and comes out a changed man, wiling to discuss things and what not. But then he comes and starts ordering you around again. Are you going to follow his orders, knowing that he burned down your house? I wouldn't. I hope that helps. Also cut the racism and xenophobia crap, if somebody came and destroyed your home you'd dislike them too. and I said I'd engage with Americans I just won't take orders from them. 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 14:41, 26 March 2019 (UTC)

Hello Take a look at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Entertainment where some guy with a long number username tries to do this big huge exposé on me. He links some IP addresses with similar numbers to the one I use, and tha thave some similarities to me (one's blind the 23 one that I'm wondering if he messed u pwith that one), but hasn't explained how I match this troll to a T. By the looks of things, the troll is anti-American while I just ask that they not essentially boss me around due to the war in yemen. As for the blind guy at the 23 IP address this perosn mentions, he's Eritrean, and I have no idea where the 199 addresses are from. We geolocate to the same general area, maybe there's a wiki troll in the area I am in, i don't know. I can see we both are bad typists too (not insulting anyone) Can you please weigh in on my talk page and help me move the discussion there rather than on the ref desk? thanks 199.101.61.34 ( talk) 01:38, 28 March 2019 (UTC)
I do want to point out something that I remember from my time in the UK when I edited from some UK IP addresses, I was accused of being a troll, linked to a
guy named Cuddlyable3 (an odd name hence why I remembe rit, sounds cartoony), and they said we had similar behaviors, save th elack of asking Americans not to come after me.
marnetteD and
2600:8800:1880:FC:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 had better have some damn good explanations for claiming i am trolling. I mean it. After the Cuddlyable incident a couple years ago I'm not really willing to take an accusation at face value.

The one making the accusations there is
this user.
Can all this bullshit stop lease? I'm losing my patience here big time.
First, it was cuddlyable3 when I lived in the UK. I move to Canada, have some time to edit, and now I'm Commet Egypt or Nissea's man or Eric Ramus or eric the red or whatever whatever i'm going mental here!
Seriously, can you please talk to these people because short of me showing them my immigration papers I have no way of proving I moved to Canada in June of 2018, and I don't like the idea of having to go to suc hlengths to prove I am who I am.
This is cuddlyable3 all over again and I will not have it.
Maybe Wikipedia is a toxic environment after all. I sure as hell feel poisoned after all of this crap, it'sa disaster.
I can't speak to whether any of these users used my IP before me, I can only speak to what I know, and I know that I have never had an account, unless somebody used my e-mail address to create one several years ago. I did have my e-mail hacked i nlike 2015 or so, but I don't know if there was an account because when I tried creating an account last year my e-mail was associated with an existing account.

XOR'easter is misleading, is distorting facts by giving microscopic and insignificant details, and is giving voluntarily a very biased/erroneous view; a quick read of the article's Talk discussion should be enough to agree. But this is not my point. I wonder why nobody ask why XOR'easter is constantly scratching the surface of the debate (and agreeing with some gentle words he/she was wrong to begin 3RR with me), instead of discussing the root fact : his/her opinion on theories disqualify him/her to contribute on cosmology related articles, because of total lack of NPOV! Detailed examples : 1) why is it strictly impossible to publish a single sentence about the crisis in cosmology whatever the huge number of valid primary and secondary references ? /info/en/?search=Talk:Bimetric_gravity 2) why having failed this simple test, is XOR'easter still allowed to be a WP admin, without even starting a debate about a ban? cf URL provided by XOR'easter himself : /info/en/?search=Talk:Black_hole#Absence_of_central_singularity_according_to_new_scientific_articles
You say the proposed sources are not enough. Please answer these questions : 1) where is written that the present article should be considered with different rules than others WP articles ? 2) to clarify Notability, give us a precise list of the minimum mandatory criteria (qualitatively and quantitatively) to add the proposed sentences in the article, according to yourself (for instance: the authors must received Nobel Price, one of them has to be named Time's magazine Man of the Year). 3) map each criteria with a WP rule (not a guideline) If you fail to provide 3) in a few days, then this would mean your approach is arbitrary.

Had there been no Spanish-American War (for instance, as a result of the USS Maine being sunk in US waters rather than in Cuban waters), do you think that Puerto Rico would have remained a part of Spain up to the present-day or do you think that Puerto Rico would have eventually acquired independence from Spain and become an independent country?

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:36, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, - Cameron11598 21:03, 4 May 2019 (UTC)
News and updates for administrators from the past month (April 2019).
the committee will review all available information to determine whether the administrator followed "appropriate personal security practices" before restoring permissions; administrators found failing to have adequately done so
will not be resysopped automatically. All current administrators have been notified of this change.

You said, "Also, "swing feel" is wrong; it is not a dotted rhythm, which is what "swing" means." This is patently false. From here: https://www.howmusicworks.org/510/Meter-and-Rhythm/Straight-and-Swing-Timing "You will sometimes see this type of rhythm notated using dotted eighth-notes and sixteenth-notes, as shown below. This seems convenient, but it is incorrect, and should be avoided. Listen carefully to how this notation actually sounds and you will hear it is not the same as swing timing." Also, the citation from the YT channel Signals Music Studio has many incorrect assumptions. Such as timing a song with a stop-watch. You don't count music using microseconds. You use rhythm. "the time signature is often reported as 5 8, but is closer to 21 32, though it is unlikely Metallica actually intended to count 21 beats" At that tempo there are zero people on earth that can count 21/32 beats. You could at least know something about music before you get authoritative. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1970:4B5A:1D00:F07D:3D8B:F0EA:9C30 ( talk • contribs)
Rich, considering you made up that thing about swing feel and dotted rhythms are the same thing. And I did check the source. It was wrong. Dissecting music using a stop-watch leads to the wrong conclusions. Which if you would simply conduct this experiment for yourself by starting with the lyrics "End of passion play..." For each beat of the song, count it. 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 1 2 3 4 5 Repeat. You would't be taken in by this bogus "proof" you keep citing. But good luck trying to convince dilettantes of anything. Especially ones that refuse to do tests.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:1970:4B5A:1D00:F07D:3D8B:F0EA:9C30 ( talk • contribs) Lazy and immature. Great.

I'm sorry for being cross with you. I didn't appreciate you lying to me. Anyway, the trouble with citing a source is that the sheet music is copyrighted. Making an honest discussion about whats going on in the music, difficult. So, I guess people will just have to have bad info. swing feel and dotted rhythms are the same thing
Sigh. The relationship between "swing" notes is 66/33. The relationship between a dotted eighth note and an eighth note is 75/25. Please graduate from a conservatory. Or at least buy the music theory syllabus and study to grade 8. Yet another citation concerning swing rhythm vs dotted rhythm: http://www2.siba.fi/muste1/index.php?id=99&la=en Just because you "can represent it that way" doesn't mean it "IS that way". "You'll find many sources that will use dotted notation to indicate a swing feel." I'll also find many sources that use the phoneme ax to indicate ask. That doesn't make them correct. |

I have no issue with the violation (perhaps he forgot the IBAN, who knows), but I disagree with his edit. If I revert the edit (for the same reason I reverted the edit prior to his), then we're back at the same place we were before the much-needed IBAN was enacted. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you. Magnolia677 ( talk) 17:15, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
Thank you for your edits to Commonwealth of England (in April 2019}. Unfortunately you did not add any citations to support you additions. I have placed a template at the top of the article requesting citations (see WP:CHALLENGE) You need to supply inline citations to reliable sources to support your new text as the WP:BURDEN is on you to do so.
I appreciate that a lot of the text does not have inline citations to reliable sources, however that is because in the past verification was laxer than it is now. In the end all of the text in the article will need to be supported by inline citations, but we should not be adding new text to articles unless it is supported by inline citations to reliable sources. -- PBS ( talk) 17:49, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
Also during you edit you changed some of the section headers. One of which contained an intext comment:
to
But you did not change the redirect
So any article using that redirect would no longer link to the appropriate section. The best way to fix that problem is to include a {{
anchor|1659–1660}}
in the article when you see such an intext comment

An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Scholz Research & Development, Inc., you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Polaroid ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

Since the introduction of temporary user rights, it is becoming more usual to accord the New Page Reviewer right on a probationary period of 3 to 6 months in the first instance. This avoids rights removal for inactivity at a later stage and enables a review of their work before according the right on a permanent basis.

Sir, I have posted my request on top of your talk page by mistake and I don't know how to bring it at bottom. Please! see that. Thank you. ( 223.230.145.71 ( talk) 10:24, 17 August 2019 (UTC))
Sir, I am new to Wikipedia and don't know how to add information in an article. I found some important information about Dr. Shamsheer and want it to be added in the article. At first I tried myself but it lead to disruption of the article. That's why I posted the request on his talk page. Since you are an administrator you must be knowing about the procedure to add information in the article. Please! visit Dr. Shamsheer's talk page and add those informations in the article on my behalf. I will never mind that whole credit(of adding new informations)goes to you. This is the link to talk page Talk:Shamsheer Vayalil Thank you. ( 223.230.145.71 ( talk) 18:07, 16 August 2019 (UTC))

Hi Jayron, you replied to an editor at the humanities help desk who turned out to be an LTA. I initially redacted just enough to remove the outing, but on reflection I removed their whole comment. Your comment was a direct reply, but it seemed useful so I left it in. Sorry if it makes you look a little like you're pontificating for no reason. -- Floquenbeam ( talk) 20:51, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Hi Jayron32, could you take a look at the ITN nom for the 71st Emmys? Looks like the article has been updated. -- LaserLegs ( talk) 13:42, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
It appears incivility towards other people's work is catching. Having an article I worked hard on being described as a "crap article" and one that is "sub-standard", are just two phrases that makes me think why I bother to write anything at all. I'm apathetic towards the main page and TFA is a waste of time. I care not one bit about your opinion towards my writing abilities as I've gone through your contributions and see nothing special, but your rather obvious display of contempt towards those who bother to write anything decent, is utterly disgraceful. And I'm not entirely surprised to see that you're an admin. You seem to be a pretty sub-standard one. Not nice, is it. Cassianto Talk 16:33, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
"I'm not exactly sure why, but those of you fighting to ensure that a maintenance tag goes unfixed have not yet proposed a replacement article 2 days out so we can avoid having a substandard article on the main page."What you are saying is that having an article with a tag on it makes it "substandard". It doesn't, it makes it fair game to be fixed. Cassianto Talk 17:22, 1 October 2019 (UTC)

US Banknote Contest | ||
---|---|---|
November-December 2019 | ||
There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons. In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate. If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here |

Several of the concerns have now been dealt with, including a significant prose summary of results with references. However, no one is looking that far down on ITN anymore. Maybe you could take a look at the article and update the nomination, if you find it appropriate? (As I wrote on ITN, I don't think the paring down of the article can happen for at least a couple of months, the emotions are that high -- but your concerns were primarily with the results section.) - Tenebris 66.11.171.90 ( talk) 19:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)
