December 2011

Hello! I'm a bot created by another Wikipedia editor. I wanted to let you know that I removed a link that you recently added to the page Koche Sesame here. I did this because http://www.flickr.com/photos/kabulpublicdiplomacy/sets/72157628232390399/with/6435880313/ is probably inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Instead of linking to an external image, you can find images already available or use the upload wizard if you'd like to add new free content.

We appreciate your help in making Wikipedia better for everyone. If I made a mistake, feel free to undo my edit. If you have any questions, you can ask at the Help desk.

Thank you! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:42, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, please note that there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Deviating from this style, as you did in International co-productions of Sesame Street, makes articles harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Christine (talk) 18:34, 5 December 2011 (UTC)

Vandalism

Please understand what WP:VANDALism is. Accusations of vandalism (such as [1]) should not be levelled at good-faith edits that you disagree with.

Furthermore, you edit summary asserts not sourced addition which is obviously wrong, and continues but deliberate falsification which violates WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. If your temper is running too high to edit politely, please step away from the keyboard William M. Connolley (talk) 14:17, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

You replied on my takl page. Can I draw your attention to the edit notice there, which says: You are welcome to leave messages here. I will reply here (rather than on, say, your user page). Conversely, if I've left a message on your talk page, I'm watching it, so please reply there. Accordingly, I've moved your comment here:

Hi. I think you made a quick judgement on me without realizing what is going on. The source he used does not say "Sunnis 75-90%". [2] This my friend is very important because there are all the world's top experts on Islam saying that Sunnis are 80-90% and this one Wikipedia editor User:PassaMethod comes and lowers the number most likely for personal satisfaction. In this case it is considered vandalism and deliberate falsification. He ignored the talk page as I have made a clear point on why the number should avoid the 75% because it is clearly false.--Kiftaan (talk) 14:26, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

First of all, please don't use "This my friend". Perhaps it works in your culture; in mine, it is offensive over-familiarity.

Now, the substance:

• User:PassaMethod comes and lowers the number most likely for personal satisfaction - please don't speculate on others motives
• In this case it is considered vandalism: no, it is not considered vandalism: please read the links I've provided.
• and deliberate falsification - again, no.

Discussing the true percentage on the talk page: fine. Accusing good-faith editors of vandalism and deliberate falsification: no William M. Connolley (talk) 14:48, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Ok, fine. I'm not speculating. When someone is constantly lowering the percentage of Sunnis even after they know that all sources do not agree with the lower number it makes it quite clear what the motives of the editor are, especially when you see him editing articles pertaining to Islam. You gonna have to make the right decision here on who's side you are. I believe that Wikipedia should discourage people who force their minor view on everyone. Anyway, have a nice day and please try to understand where I'm coming from. I may be a new editor but that doesn't mean I should be treated lesser than those who have been here for a longer period.--Kiftaan (talk) 14:57, 8 December 2011 (UTC)

Edit warring at Islam

Please see the result of WP:AN3#User:Kiftaan reported by User:PassaMethod (Result: Warned) which contains a warning for you. If you continue to revert on the percentage of Muslims who are Sunni before consensus is reached on the talk page you may be blocked. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 17:10, 11 December 2011 (UTC)
