I'm trying to ask a question on the science reference desk and it keeps getting reverted by multiple users. The other users claim that I'm trolling but I feel like I'm the one who is being victimised. One of the users has even sought to get me banned. I'm looking for a place where an impartial user can determine whether there is actually any evidence that I'm trolling (obviously in my opinion there isn't) so I can stop getting my posts reverted. One user unilaterally decided that I'm trolling (in contravention of WP:GF just because I asked a new question related to my previous one (you can clearly see they are different questions) and everyone else just pitched in keeping my question deleted. When I added my new question to the end of my last one that edit started getting reverted also. 185.230.100.66 ( talk) 10:49, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
How do you make the chart-things and how do you link websites? — Preceding unsigned comment added by GMarcus646 ( talk • contribs) 19:25, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Wikipedia is edited by several millions of editors but the latest remarks over Wikipedia regarding the ignorance of Donna Strickland as a notable person doesn't mean that every wikipedians are responsible for the black mark on this encyclopedia. May be the press have mentioned that a draft submission was rejected at the Afc in May this year due to the notability issues but how these websites know these little things including the draft refusal. It's quite strange that I even thought this encyclopedia generally doesn't have a recognition. Can you explain all these things and who is actually responsible for the shame on Wikipedia. Is it to reveal that gender bias is still continuing in Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 112.134.75.123 ( talk) 09:37, 5 October 2018 (UTC)

I want to contact member Mcampany who commented on my new article on Nobuo Yamagishi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fundyfan ( talk • contribs) 22:07, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Hi, So I inadvertently created a page with a picture I was given permission to use on a specific page I was editing but not specifically authorized to upload for its own page (File:Epcu 001 lhp.jpg).
Sincerely, Wkraft33 ( talk) 22:02, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Oh no, I got issues on creating my new article, Dong-A. I tried to search in Google, but doesn't have reliable sources. Apollo C. Quiboloy fans ( talk) 01:21, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
I just got hit by the following: User:XLinkBot to this page: /info/en/?search=Driving_while_black and I really feel this "bot" just went and changed all my edits for no reason. I was trying to make the page better. I added internal links under the heading "see also" and relevant links to articles under the heading "further reading". My first urge was to make complaints, but I guess I should post here before I occupy the admins time and see if, maybe, I just don't understand Wikipedia's culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sdfoley01 ( talk • contribs) 08:12, 1 October 2018 (UTC)

So I added something to this article, on apatheism As a pragmatic stance rather than a philosophical position, including the end section:
That apatheism poses a problem for proselytizers can be seen from the following site which in an excellent way demonstrates the frustrations of a proselytizer, though the involved parties there appear to have only good intentions - at least in accordance with their religious command.

someone took out the link, which makes that sentence be useless. I do not understand why it was taken out, and I do not understand what is the process for this, and how to perhaps discuss why it was taken out. Nnnooottt ( talk) 06:55, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

So on talk pages we have to "sign your posts by typing four tildes". But a lot of the times I see messages signed, it's not just with the name and talk page: there's a dash before it like this:

@Kashmiri and @TituDutta: Thanks for the invite; For Wiki -as a neutral platform not mismanaged, I want to submit my serious objections to the contents of the Gurmukhi; lets openly talk about the differences Talk:Gurmukhi and until then, in equal fairness, please keep this page out of circulation and suspended giving me an equal opportunity to submit my perspective. I think your understanding about supranatural origin of Gurmukhi has confirmed my apprehensions about your lack of knowledge that pre,colonial and post-colonial scholarship has not adequately addressed Sri Guru Granth Sahib as a Linguistic treatise, a treasure on the origin of human language for the welfare of humankind not just Sikhs. Thus no supernatural origin instead a logical sampling and transcriptions of languages and scripts since Gatha, Sehaskriti and more. Gurmukhi is what enshrines and illuminates Sri Guru Granth Sahib - Sikh religious belief is interwoven into the written living Word; Sikhs have fundamental right to religion; You or other may have time and opportunity to promote your religion or no religion, should that deprive others including Sikhs and termed as "not about your religious beliefs".CharanUOIT (talk) 15:50, 5 October 2018 (UTC)CharanUOIT — Preceding unsigned comment added by CharanUOIT ( talk • contribs)
As an outsider to the topic (American Jew), I want to state that the page Gurmukhi has existed for many years, and will not be taken out of circulation, or suspended, or reverted to a draft (or nominated for deletion). The proper place to discuss is at Talk:Gurmukhi, where I see that no one has started a discussion. Which is what CharanUOIT asked for. Kashmiri's comments, perhaps more acerbic than necessary, pointed out that Wikipedia content must rest only on cited sources. David notMD ( talk) 23:44, 5 October 2018 (UTC)
Thanks GermanJoe Kashmiri David notMD
Guru Granth Sahib Defines Gurmukhi-as a unique, unmixable, movement. ਇਹ ਚਾਲ ਨਿਰਾਲੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ (Page: 314, Pauri 25, http://www.khojgurbani.com/shabad/index/314 ) The meaning of Gurmukhi as a unique, unmixable, movement-methodology has been further clarified on the same page, Pauri 26 as ਵਿਚਿ ਸਚੇ ਕੂੜੁ ਨ ਗਡਈ....( no mixing in truth - how could mixed truth lead to filter insights?).
Please correct me, if wrong, from an academic perspective, this meaning of Gurmukhi comes close to what Shawn Wilson talks about “how …to live in both worlds…and what is the thinking behind what makes it possible.”(p.175)( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/234754037_What_Is_an_Indigenous_Research_Methodology ). Gurmukhi is the language and script of this thinking. Further, he argues that we need to move beyond an “indigenous perspective in research” to “researching from an indigenous paradigm.”
If the word “indigenous” is replaced by “Sikh” that’s what is missing from this page. Sikh perspective is grounded in Guru Granth Sahib and validates scholarship within secondary sources. Further, Sikh scholarship talks about what Wilson says “how …to live in both worlds” so that research and scholarship could do “something better in the world”(p.175). @Kasmiri -I will answer other doubts, once the methodology of sourcing and validating Sikh contents from Guru Granth Sahib is mutually agreed. Guru Granth Sahib is for Sikhs what Shawn mentions "...from an indigenous paradigm." Thanks. CharanUOIT ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:52, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

One of Wikipedia's editors (Drmies) has charged me with disruptive editing on the Greenville, Indiana page. I have added many notable residents which keep being removed. Previously, I was under the impression that they were removed due to a lack of a source. Last night, I added source information for each (not all) of the notable residents. Now according to the wiki editors, the issue is no longer a lack of a reference but rather it is due to the residents being "non notable". For my persistence in trying to get these very notable residents listed, I have now been charged by Drmies as a disruptive editor. Lets discuss some of the assumed non notable residents;
Not the place for detailed discussion

Edward Ford, son of American Industrialist John Baptiste Ford, was born in Greenville. He went on to found Edward Ford Plate Glass Company then in turn became a business leader in employee relations. His employee relations building from the Edward Fort Plate Glass Company is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Roscoe Miller, a former MLB professional baseball player who played on the 1901 Detroit Tigers (first year the Tigers were in the American League). He still holds the American League rookie record for most complete games by a rookie at 35. Jeff Leo Thompson is a professional baseball player and resident of Greenville. In 2013, he was selected by the Detroit Tigers with the 94 overall pick in the 3rd round. He is currently with the Tigers minor league. Prior to being drafted into MLB, Thompson played for University of Louisville and was named 2013 Big East Conference Pitcher of the Year and a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist after going 11-2 with a 2.19 ERA and 113 strikeouts in 17 starts. Judith Schad is the owner of Capriole Goat Cheese, an artisan goat cheese producer in Greenville, Indiana. Founded in 1988, Capriole is one of the oldest and most award winning goat cheese producers in the United States... they even have their own wikipedia page and are listed on the websites most notable cheese makers! /info/en/?search=List_of_cheesemakers |
I won't go through the whole list of notable residents but I do believe they meet the Wikipedia criteria for a notable resident as I interpret them. I also recently found out that each of the notables are supposed to have their own independent WP. Great... no problem... I just need a little time putting that together, lets not delete the work on the Greenville page.
The straw that broke the camels hump per say was when Drmies removed the town logo that I posted last night. Located on Wikipedia Commons ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Town_of_Greenville,_Indiana.jpg) I uploaded the town logo as the image skyline as it is termed here. It is beyond me why it would ever be removed. This seems to be a case of over-editing and clearly the editor is offended that I redacted his original edits. So now I'm informed that the next step is to come in here and ask for a mediator. Well, here I am.
I don't have a ton of time to dedicate to this so it is frustrating when I spend hours improving their town's page and then an editor (located nowhere close to your town) comes in and removes your work without explanation or with a very poorly written reason as to why. All I'm interested in doing is improving the page and if I'm doing something wrong, then I just need instruction on how to properly do it. Improvement can not be made with the delete key. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southern Indiana History ( talk • contribs) 22:22, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Guru Granth Sahib Defines Gurmukhi-as a unique, unmixable, movement. ਇਹ ਚਾਲ ਨਿਰਾਲੀ ਗੁਰਮੁਖੀ (Page: 314, Pauri 25, http://www.khojgurbani.com/shabad/index/314 ) The meaning of Gurmukhi as a unique, unmixable, movement-methodology has been further clarified on the same page, Pauri 26 as ਵਿਚਿ ਸਚੇ ਕੂੜੁ ਨ ਗਡਈ....( no mixing in truth - how could mixed truth lead to filter insights?).
Please correct me, if wrong, from an academic perspective, this meaning of Gurmukhi comes close to what Shawn Wilson talks about “how …to live in both worlds…and what is the thinking behind what makes it possible.”(p.175)( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/234754037_What_Is_an_Indigenous_Research_Methodology ). Gurmukhi is the language and script of this thinking. Further, he argues that we need to move beyond an “indigenous perspective in research” to “researching from an indigenous paradigm.”
If the word “indigenous” is replaced by “Sikh” that’s what is missing from this page. Sikh perspective is grounded in Guru Granth Sahib and validates scholarship within secondary sources. Further, Sikh scholarship talks about what Wilson says “how …to live in both worlds” so that research and scholarship could do “something better in the world”(p.175). @Kasmiri -I will answer other doubts, once the methodology of sourcing and validating Sikh contents from Guru Granth Sahib is mutually agreed. Guru Granth Sahib is for Sikhs what Shawn mentions "...from an indigenous paradigm." Thanks. CharanUOIT ( talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:52, 6 October 2018 (UTC)

Hi,
The article /info/en/?search=James_Knight_(actor) seems to have experienced major defacement from a couple of contributors. As bizarre and amusing as it now is - perhaps it should be dealt with? Not quite sure what the procedure is...

In the article about Natalie Cole in The Discography Section both her We're The Best Of Friends and The Magic of Christmas Albums have been omitted. The song list from her I'm Ready Album needs to be updated to include Winner (Take All), Az Izz, Movin' On, and How Can You Stop?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.213.13.65 ( talk) 18:02, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
I have been trying to add citation to the 2018 Pacific Hurricane Season Article and there is a cn span and I don't know how to get rid of it. It will always stay there; and when I tried last it got reverted not even 30 seconds later. Cyclone of Foxes ( talk) 23:37, 3 October 2018 (UTC)

Uh, GermanJoe How do you delete the template in visual editor? Sorry if this is becoming a nuiscance! Cyclone of Foxes ( talk) 23:42, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
One of Wikipedia's editors (Drmies) has charged me with disruptive editing on the Greenville, Indiana page. I have added many notable residents which keep being removed. Previously, I was under the impression that they were removed due to a lack of a source. Last night, I added source information for each (not all) of the notable residents. Now according to the wiki editors, the issue is no longer a lack of a reference but rather it is due to the residents being "non notable". For my persistence in trying to get these very notable residents listed, I have now been charged by Drmies as a disruptive editor. Lets discuss some of the assumed non notable residents;
Not the place for detailed discussion

Edward Ford, son of American Industrialist John Baptiste Ford, was born in Greenville. He went on to found Edward Ford Plate Glass Company then in turn became a business leader in employee relations. His employee relations building from the Edward Fort Plate Glass Company is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Roscoe Miller, a former MLB professional baseball player who played on the 1901 Detroit Tigers (first year the Tigers were in the American League). He still holds the American League rookie record for most complete games by a rookie at 35. Jeff Leo Thompson is a professional baseball player and resident of Greenville. In 2013, he was selected by the Detroit Tigers with the 94 overall pick in the 3rd round. He is currently with the Tigers minor league. Prior to being drafted into MLB, Thompson played for University of Louisville and was named 2013 Big East Conference Pitcher of the Year and a Golden Spikes Award semifinalist after going 11-2 with a 2.19 ERA and 113 strikeouts in 17 starts. Judith Schad is the owner of Capriole Goat Cheese, an artisan goat cheese producer in Greenville, Indiana. Founded in 1988, Capriole is one of the oldest and most award winning goat cheese producers in the United States... they even have their own wikipedia page and are listed on the websites most notable cheese makers! /info/en/?search=List_of_cheesemakers |
I won't go through the whole list of notable residents but I do believe they meet the Wikipedia criteria for a notable resident as I interpret them. I also recently found out that each of the notables are supposed to have their own independent WP. Great... no problem... I just need a little time putting that together, lets not delete the work on the Greenville page.
The straw that broke the camels hump per say was when Drmies removed the town logo that I posted last night. Located on Wikipedia Commons ( https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Town_of_Greenville,_Indiana.jpg) I uploaded the town logo as the image skyline as it is termed here. It is beyond me why it would ever be removed. This seems to be a case of over-editing and clearly the editor is offended that I redacted his original edits. So now I'm informed that the next step is to come in here and ask for a mediator. Well, here I am.
I don't have a ton of time to dedicate to this so it is frustrating when I spend hours improving their town's page and then an editor (located nowhere close to your town) comes in and removes your work without explanation or with a very poorly written reason as to why. All I'm interested in doing is improving the page and if I'm doing something wrong, then I just need instruction on how to properly do it. Improvement can not be made with the delete key. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Southern Indiana History ( talk • contribs) 22:22, 6 October 2018 (UTC)
