	Happy New Year 2016!
	Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels? Thank you for your contributions to this encyclopedia using 21st century technology. I hope you don't get any unneccessary blisters.    – Cullen328 Let's discuss it 05:44, 31 December 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, from me and the lawn gnomes! Acroterion (talk) 17:44, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Slave reparations

I made an honest mistake and didn't realize that the sample text there was a given example, and not actual spam. Forgive me. CatcherStorm ^talk 17:55, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

Certainly, don't worry about it. Acroterion (talk) 17:56, 1 January 2016 (UTC)

talk on skilled group

hang on, why can i not do it in talk then, Skilled will be affected. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ugutuy (talk • contribs)

Your comment "Hopefully this inquiry will cut these labour hire mobs down including Skilled group" on the talkpage isn't a discussion of how to improve the article, it is an inappropriate use of the talkpage to disparage the subject, and it indicates that you shouldn't be editing on that topic if you can't edit neutrally. That article has been the subject of sustained abuse, so edits are subject to more than usual levels of review. Acroterion (talk) 03:17, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

OK i have thought about it and this should fit the correct criteria ?

Ugutuy (talk) 03:56, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

Replied at the talkpage (perhaps you should move it to ts own section), but given the general nature of the announcement it's not really useful for an article on a single company in the field. Acroterion (talk) 04:16, 5 January 2016 (UTC)

All i did was include a link to an inquiry into labour hire of which Skilled is one that is going to be inquired into

(sorry i did not write the news)....

That UK Lincoln/Titanic editor...

I went and looked up the actual letter that Maunsell Bradhurst FIELD wrote to the NY Times and this is what the letter actually states:

Death in this case was a mere cessation of breathing.The fact had not been ascertained one minute when Dr. GURLEY offered up a prayer. The few persons in the room were all profoundly effected. The President's eyes after death were not, particularly the right one, entirely closed. I closed them myself with my fingers, and one the surgeons brought pennies and placed them on the eyes, and subsequently substituted for them silver half-dollars. In a very short time the jaw commenced slightly falling, although the body was still warm. I called attention to this, and had it immediately tied up with a pocket handkerchief. The expression immediately after death was purely negative, but in fifteen minutes here came over the mouth, the nostrils, and the chin, a smile that seemed almost an effort of life. I had never seen upon the President's face an expression more genial and pleasing.

So... Our UK "friend" gets it all wrong

• NAME of the person they are allegedly quoting is incorrect. The man's name was Maunsell Bradhurst Field. And look at that - he even has a Wikipedia article!
• the alleged "quote" is cleverly edited to make it appear that at the moment of death or that when Lincoln was dying that he somehow had a conscious smile on his face. Ummmm...no. 15 minutes after dying, during the process of the body transitioning into rigor mortis, the muscles of the man's face had the mere appearance of a "smile".

Anyway, thought you might find it interesting. And thanks for being on top of this editor's obsessive POV-editing. Shearonink (talk) 16:44, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

During my research, I also found the same misapprehensions (missing last name, clever editing of the original quoted material) at the Simple WP's article on the assassination. Field's actual letter to the NY Times can be found in its entirety at The House Divided Project at Dickinson College: "Maunsell Bradhurst Field to Editor New York Times, Letter accounting the Passing of President Abraham Lincoln, April 16, 1865".

Edit warring at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge

Hi Acroterion, a little while ago you warned IP 108.26.39.208 about edit warring at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge, where the IP has been trying to insert the same off-topic opinion, cited to an editorial, for the past few days. I just wanted to let you know that they have inserted the material once more - this is the fifth time now. This info has been removed by three different editors, including myself and you. I do not wish to remove this most recent instance as I have removed it twice myself, and do not want to run afoul of 3RR. Would you be able to take a look at this? Thank you! Antepenultimate (talk) 19:04, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

To be fair, they've added some additional citations this time, some which may not be outright opinion columns, but it doesn't matter - criticism of the government's response to a standoff in Nevada last year is far, far from directly relevant to this Oregon refuge. Undoubtedly the IP is choosing to make their stand at the MNWR page because the main standoff page is edit protected. Antepenultimate (talk) 19:11, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Reported at WP:AN3. As I've reverted, it's bad form for me to take admin action on anything other than vandalism or defamation. Acroterion (talk) 20:30, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you! I appreciate your help with this. Antepenultimate (talk) 20:56, 9 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit war Creationism

You have reverted my POV dispute, although there is an active NPOV discussion on the page's talk section. Why are you doing this, exactly? What exactly needs to happen for a page to be disputed without someone like yourself coming and undoing a legitimate dispute flag?

Exactly: your POV dispute. You are edit-warring to advance your agenda and using the POV tag to further that agenda. Tag-bombing evolution and creationism articles is disruptive and almost always rejected by the community. Please stop. You've been blocked before for this. POV tags are to be used where a broadly legitimate concern exists on the part a a number of editors, or to flag little-trafficked articles that need attention, rather than as a mark of one editor's disagreement. Acroterion (talk) 19:02, 10 January 2016 (UTC)

Grammar & Spelling

Certainly! I beg your pardon. As long as you're aware the grammar used was incorrect, or at least bad form! :-) (Are you able to direct me to the WP page that says this is disallowed or discouraged? I'm unable to find it.) But please do be very careful of spelling errors when editing WP pages, vis-à-vis A_Christmas_Carol_(2004_film). All the best, Mathygrammar (talk) 22:51, 11 January 2016 (UTC)

The guidelines is at WP:TPO. While your edit wasn't problematic, it's better that you leave other comments alone, warts and all, short of egregious personal attacks or vandalism. Things can quickly go wrong if one edits other editors' comments. Acroterion (talk) 01:03, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

This makes a lot of sense and I truly apologize. I hope you can see past this uncharacteristic and seemingly rude act. Mathygrammar (talk) 01:09, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, happy editing! Acroterion (talk) 01:44, 12 January 2016 (UTC)

Page Deletion

Hi This is my first article and I was actually reading the guidelines before unfortunately I submitted the draft article, I got some ideas from the community and now I drafting another article. Please if you have time take a look into it. Will make sone good information on the internet and I am interested in contributing more. Lemurian.in (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

I have created a Sample Article here, Can you please guide me in healthy way whether I have created the article properly here. Lemurian.in (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

While the article in The Hindu is a start, the article lacks substantiation of notability. In order to be notable, a company should have been discussed in some depth, rather than as a mention or a source of quotes in an article on fashion. See WP:CORP. In addition, the article reads as advertising more than an encyclopedia article, bulked out with tangential discussions of fashion. Apart from The Hindu, the sources don't add anything about the core subject, or are from inadmissible sources like blogs. I don't see the topic being able to sustain notability. Acroterion (talk) 16:11, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Thank you. I will try to get some more reliable resources and improve the article. Lemurian.in (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Restore

Could you restore XTees.com and move it to draft space for me to work on? Cheers, Dat Guy^Talk_Contribs 16:15, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Done. Material from Lemurian.in's userpage draft might be useful there. Acroterion (talk) 16:22, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

The Magical Circle School

Does the ineligibility of educational institutions for A7 only apply to "proper" or offline ones? Adam9007 (talk) 22:33, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

It's an unremarkable website that bills itself as a school. Acroterion (talk) 23:18, 16 January 2016 (UTC)

Anthony Messere

Why did you put a deletion tag on this page? How is it not significant? Rileyschneider (talk) 02:04, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Third place in one race doesn't indicate that the subject is sufficiently notable for inclusion in a global encyclopedia. A tour or series championship would be closer to the mark. Acroterion (talk) 02:06, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks and FYI

Thanks for the block of Trainsfan6 (talk · contribs). He is likely a sock of Bigshowandkane64 (talk · contribs) and I have filed a new SPI which you will probably have seen since I pinged you there. The last few socks wound up needing the talk page access removed due to the nature of the personal attacks placed there. The current message is fairly tame compared to the last time but you might keep an eye on it in case things get worse. Thanks for your time. MarnetteD|Talk 03:36, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Well thanks for the removal that you performed while I was typing here. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 03:38, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

I'll revoke talkpage access if it happens again. Wikipedia seems to be plagued with editors who obsessively create sockpuppets to edit children's entertainment subjects. Acroterion (talk) 03:41, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

You are right about that. This one is a few months short of four years since the first SPI. Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 03:47, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Revision not yet hidden

It appears that you forgot to hide the content for revision ID 700428969, but it contains offensive material in the lead section. Eyesnore 14:38, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Sorry about that, had to go to work. Another admin got it. Acroterion (talk) 02:49, 19 January 2016 (UTC)

Pacific View Charter School page deletion

Can you please restore Pacific View Charter School?

I do not see why this entry was deleted. Searching San Diego Charter School on Wikipedia pulls up a lot of schools with similar entry. This page does not have a single promotional line. Its all facts about their teaching philosophy for parents to use while deciding which San Diego North county charter school to place their children in.

All the content is original and in does not violate any copyrights.

If there is something specific, please let me know and I would be happy to update the entry. Thank you. Harold — Preceding unsigned comment added by SanDiegoWordPressDeveloper (talk • contribs) 19:57, 18 January 2016 (UTC)

Please review the link I gave you on your talkpage. The article as written was composed as if Wikipedia was a webhosting provider, not an encyclopedia. The net effect was content that appeared to be promoting the school with projected outcomes and slogans, rather than a concise factual discussion of the school, sourced to independent resources that allow us to verify notability. Much of the content appears to have been copied from public relations material, or else is inappropriately boosterish. I am willing to restore the core sections of the content (minus the buzzwords, slogans and predictions of success) to a sandbox where you can work it into an encyclopedia article. You may wish to read our conflict of interest policy as well, since you seem to be closely associated with the subject. Let me know if you'd like material placed in your sandbox.

More List of Law Enfocement Agencies in ... Excitement

Take a gander at the latest edits at List of law enforcement agencies in Illinois. Some anonymous someone is removing cites that have been there forever. I have certainly abstained from adding (many) more cites so as to be polite and not antagonize other editors. But gosh darn it, I feel as if these people are building a list without cites, and making up a rule about which cites are legit. I suspect there needs to be a discussion about this. Where ought I to take my concerns. Or alternatively, ought I just give it a rest and admit I am wrong?

As always I value your adult guidance. Paul, in Saudi (talk) 09:38, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

I tend to agree that news articles mentioning the agency in reference to a crime that they are investigating aren't very useful. I don't see it as a significant issue. Ideally they would be replaced with a reference to an in-depth article on the subject, but those tend not to exist. Given that the cited article is usually about a trivial event involving a non-notable perpetrator, there are elements of WP:BLPCRIME in play, which would tend to be a determinant in favor of deleting the reference, something that's rooted in established policy. Acroterion (talk) 02:07, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

I take this to be your very diplomatic way of telling me to chill. I hear and I obey. (And I thank you.) Paul, in Saudi (talk) 04:40, 21 January 2016 (UTC)

Gonew

I do not appreciate you vandalizing my page and am requesting it to be put back in full order. I correctly followed the guidlines and explained it's relevance in an encyclopedia. If not restored, further actions will be taken.

Thanks, Esc2020 (talk) 03:13, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

It's not "your" page, it's Wikipedia's. Please see your talkpage. You are welcome to work on an article in your sandbox so that you can bring it into conformance with Wikipedia guidelines. Acroterion (talk) 03:14, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Edit wars

What are you talking about being involved in "Edit Wars"? I corrected several mistakes on the British Isles page which included the Republic of Ireland. The Irish Government states it is NOT part of the British Isles.

Also you may want to read Question # 9 on the official website of the British Monarchy "Frequently Asked Questions" http://www.royal.gov.uk/FrequentlyAskedQuestions/20%20most%20asked%20questions.aspx

"please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted" I reverted ONE change that "Jim1138" made and you call it and "Edit War"? Oh please get a life.

FredRed2 (talk) 05:26, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

As Antandrus has told you, you are confusing politics with geography. Wikipedia takes a dim view of those who import political disputes and who disrupt articles to make a point. If you continue your disruption, you will be blocked. Please note that edits concerning Ireland can be subject to sanctions, per long-standing arbitration decisions. Acroterion (talk) 12:10, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

rev del request

Can the comment "Izzy Wright" on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Burdines be deleted? And perhaps action taken (permanent blocking) against the poster Izanator241 -thanks. 1305cj (talk) 14:20, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. One more thing if I can ask. On https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Fort_Lauderdale the comment icon las olas wasn't signed and is just a link to a personal real estate website. This would be posting personal details and using talk pages for promotional means, both against Wikipedia talk page guidelines. While not as harmful as "Izzy Wright", this post should still be removed and the poster blocked for violations. 1305cj (talk) 21:39, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Removed. You could do that too, it's not an admin-only thing. I haven't blocked or warned the account, the edit is five years old and the account has learned since then and is a significant good-faith contributor of long standing Acroterion (talk) 21:47, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Thanks. I thought of removing it myself but didn't know if I should or it should be an admin. 1305cj (talk) 22:57, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Disruptive IP

The IP you blocked today and later unblocked again is this guy, and he is community banned. He is edit-warring here [1], and here [2], and that's just since you unblocked him. The 2013 block on that IP was against the same guy. Another editor posted on the IP's talk page to make you aware of his identity, but the IP deleted it. [3] Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:55, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

I thought my intuition was correct. Well, at least they were given an opportunity to prove me wrong. Blocked six months. Acroterion (talk) 20:18, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Yes, you were right the first time. He does it a lot; pretending he's just a hard-working IP who has been mistreated by some wicked editor, and many an admin has taken him at face value. One or two admins still do! He will pop up again with another IP very soon, but that's the cross we have to bear...! Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:28, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

In fairness, I didn't do a very good job this morning of investigating, but it was clear that there was something fishy. Getting ready for work and wrangling dogs took my attention away at a crucial moment. The apocalyptic east coast blizzard has started here and I was preparing to be snowed in for a couple of days, making a list of everything I'd need from the office. Acroterion (talk) 20:35, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Sounds like it's fair to say you had other things on your mind! Good luck with that weather; we've even heard about it over here in the UK and it sounds like it's going to affect an enormous number of people. I hope everyone stays safe. Britain grinds to a halt if it snows for five minutes... Bretonbanquet (talk) 20:43, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

75 million people is the estimate, from Memphis to New York. We're expected to get at least two feet of snow, maybe three. My wife's been laying in provisions, so we won't starve until March, and it's just beginning. As long as the power stays on we're fine, and we have a generator if it doesn't. Acroterion (talk) 20:53, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

That's more people than in the whole of the UK. Madness. Sounds like you're well prepared though, and in a sense I could imagine it being quite exciting. But I'm sure that feeling would wear off pretty quickly if it lasts for weeks/months! We'll be keeping an eye on it from over here, and again, good luck! Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:02, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Roads should be plowed on Sunday if all goes well, I have no scheduled events on Monday, and I have everything I need to work at home if the roads aren't passable. The main problem will be where to put all of the snow. We're sort of looking forward to it to be honest, winter hasn't been very wintry until now, which is why this is such a strong storm. The Atlantic is warm for this time of year, lots of moisture being blown into the cold Arctic air. The UK's had more than its share of winter so far, now it's our turn.Acroterion (talk) 21:17, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

That's true, we've had lots and lots of rain and flooding, and it's affected a lot of people pretty badly (16,000 homes flooded out). We're building houses pretty much everywhere these days because we don't have much space, and inevitably some are built in the wrong places, or all the extra concreting causes flooding elsewhere when the rain is bad. At least the snow hasn't been too serious. It just shows that even with our advanced technologies, nature can still wreck everything overnight if it takes the fancy. Bretonbanquet (talk) 21:48, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

Raid on a page

Hello, there's a current raid by néonazis who want to push their nazi agenda on the "white genocide" page, please alert the admins. Cf this link : http://boards.5chan.org/pol/thread/61759510/white-genocide-wikirewrite-aka-gas-the-kikes-with [[ ]] NB: change 5 for 4 in url

Thanks, already semi-protected and keeping an eye on it. It was linked from an article in Slate so I'd already seen some chan-like activity. Acroterion (talk) 23:24, 22 January 2016 (UTC)

REMOVE "Acroterion" as WIKIPEDIA ADMINISTRATOR

This is regarding the deliberate edits made by Acroterion on the Wikipage of Sulaiman al Fahim (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sulaiman_Al-Fahim) that purported wrong information about the person. When Acroterion's mistakes were corrected the person deliberately blocked the persons who contributed with their edicts. This makes one posit that Acroterion must have accrued financial gains but promoting a person on wikipedia which has become a power information tool. The proposition gets strength by the fact that when the points were raised about the recent edits made on Sulaiman Al Fahim, Acroterion chose to sacrifice truth rather than correct the information, and blocking the person who raised the valid points. This throws light on the personality of Acroterion. I will not be surprised to know that Acroterion did not go to Ivy League when anyone who is a citizen or resident of the US, can avail the opportunity which is available to all. People like Acroterion neither drink nor gargle from the fountain of knowledge but pass miles away from it. The result is that the truth becomes a victim of their straw like intelligence. Therefore it is requested to the authorities at Wikipedia to remove Acroterion as an administrator on an immediate basis so that neither the truth nor correct information is compromised. A person who is not endowed with intellectual faculties that enable him to discern between pictures of the person is good for nothing, unless the person is blind. Wikipedia cannot be a platform to give vanity to clowns who are unable to interpret facts and information, and thereby making truth a victim in the whole process.

That's seriously epic. I wish I'd get some quality rants this one; I'm feeling left out. By the way, enjoy the snow! :) Antandrus (talk) 03:25, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Yeah, it's a masterpiece of its kind, too good to revert. And they're right, I have in fact neither drunk nor gargled from the fountain of knowledge, though I did sip from the Fountain of Youth. It's equally true that I didn't go to an Ivy League school, merely the North Avenue Trade School. It's a handicap that I try to bear. Acroterion (talk) 03:31, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

I'd love to know the back-story to "drink nor gargle"; it's a grand expression. MarkBernstein (talk) 04:11, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

I'm saving that baby for a rainy day. I just passed it on to a chum who challenges his colleagues to use a florid phrase during their bi-weekly faculty meeting. We public school folk (I made it all the way to the California State Normal School) must live with out little shortcomings. Not sure, but I think they keep the fountain of knowledge up north, and away from we of the Southern branch. Sigh... --Drmargi (talk) 18:38, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

"victim of their straw-like intelligence" is appealing as well. Acroterion (talk) 19:02, 23 January 2016 (UTC)

Well, at least we can't accuse the anonymous poster of self-promotion. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 00:17, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Indeed.

The whole prose composition reminds me just a bit of some of the more colorful poetry of the DPRK, a literary organization with talented wordsmiths. They're always a pleasure to read, but not for the reasons they think. Antandrus (talk) 00:53, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Some years ago I used to check the Korean Central News Agency almost daily to appreciate its prose style. One writer really liked the word "canter," presumably assuming it to be a word in daily use in the West. "Let us canter toward victory while we cherish the memory of the Great Leader" was in at least weekly use. Acroterion (talk) 01:13, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

This is just awesome. The "gargle" part is funny, but what is really hilarious is there are supposedly Wikipedia "authorities". XD! - Neutralhomer • Talk • 01:08, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Or the idea that posting your rant on the talk page of the person you're angry with will get the attention of the authorities. But they don't know probably what is required to actually carry out what they are requesting. It's also worth noting that the edits to Sulaiman Al-Fahim they are upset about occurred in June 2013. That's quite a delayed reaction. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 01:23, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

It's Jageshwar (talk · contribs) who appears to have some kind of axe to grind with al Fahim and some Italians associated with a program to use Spirulina (dietary supplement). They've been active for a couple of weeks recently, following about six months of socking in 2013. Acroterion (talk) 01:36, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

@NH: Three feet of snow here, I think you've got it a little worse. I had to shovel paths through the snow for the dogs - and they're 120 lb each. I still haven't gotten to the end of the driveway, but the road is plowed. It's just that the plowed snowbank is 5' high. Let us canter to a snow-plowed future together! Acroterion (talk) 01:19, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Acroterion: About three here too. It was up to my waist about 3:30p (and I'm 5'9") when I attempted to walk to the store. I didn't make it far.

Dad checked with a tape measurer about 10:30p, when he let the dog out, and it was between 34" and 36" depending on where he checked in the yard. We have a 10 pound, 3/4 Shih Tzu, 1/4 Pomeranian (110% bad) named Dozer (as in Bulldozer). He had fun living up to his name dozin' through the snow in the backyard. :)

Unfortunately, you will be cantering much sooner than I will. We really are the last street to be plowed. I'm not kidding. Doesn't matter if it's one inch or one foot, we are always the very last street to be plowed and I live about a 1/4 of a mile from a VDOT Center. :) Stay safe, stay warm, and canter on! :) - Neutralhomer • Talk • 03:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Puppeteer & his Socks

Hello Acreterion - Thank you for reverting our last sock's vandalism at Vel d'Hiv Roundup. However, I believe that the "attach/link" to his SockpuppetMeister should be mentioned, as BLueUndigo2 is one of the many socks of [4] who has been at work as a vandal for many months. I believe there is a file on him with his many sock names, and it should be kept updated in order not to lose track of Who is Who in the Vandal World.

Best regards, --Blue Indigo (talk) 15:10, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

Pulling a Beyoncé

Beyoncé's surprise release of her fifth album created a Harvard study and reconstruction of global music releases, as well as broke numerous records and inspired well known musicians to release the exact same way. Why am I not able to create a Wikipedia page about it? --Gaknowitall

Because you've clearly coined the phrase and are trying to promote it. You've also created an article composed almost entirely of promotional quotes. At most (and only if the phrase actually is notable and can so proven) it merits a line in the article on the album. Acroterion (talk) 04:22, 28 January 2016 (UTC)

A simple Google search of "pulling a Beyoncé" is more than enough creditable sources to confirm I did not "coin the phrase".

Lost in the clutter of praise it appears that several sources have used the term. See your talkpage for advice, though, it's not an excuse to create a quotefarm that leaves encyclopedia readers bludgeoned by the subject's magnificence. Write it in a sandbox and then we can talk.

AFC U-23 Championship

Hello, there is no content dispute between us. I see it very unjust to not block this user when he clearly breached the three-revert rule on AFC U-23 Championship after reverting 4 times.--Opdire657 (talk) 18:22, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Protection is an alternative to blocking both of you. Neither of you has attempted a civil discussion. If you use the talkpage and agree on the edits the protection can be lifted. Acroterion (talk) 18:24, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

Ok, what if I does not know the reason behind the edit war he started. While other users can freely edit AFC U-23 Championship and 2016 AFC U-23 Championship without any disturbances by Boyconga278.--Opdire657 (talk) 18:29, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

What part of "use the talkpage to discuss your edits" did you miss? If the other editor refuses to provide justification for edits, that would affect the resolution. You don't know until you try. In the meantime you're fighting about formatting, which is particularly tiresome. Acroterion (talk) 18:32, 29 January 2016 (UTC)

I think you'll have to work your way up the category tree farther. Use a similar topic where such a structure already exists as a prototype and then descend from Category:Newspapers and Category:Ottoman Empire to get there.

Page deletion help

Hello,

I am writing in regards the page deletion of Arlon Graphics and would like to know how to retrieve the information I contributed back. Could you please (specifically) tell me how I can get this article back on wikipedia? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by AFlex 200 (talk • contribs) 00:33, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

I can put the deleted content in a sandbox in your userspace for you to develop. For it to become an article you will need to provide two or three examples of in-depth coverage in major independent media that provide appropriate third-party sourcing and evidence of notability. See WP:CORP for notability guidelines for companies. Acroterion (talk) 04:06, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of page

Hello,

I submitted a contestation but it was already deleted. Could you consider my reason? The name of the page was ChaiChalk 02:45, 6 February 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ashrafhameed13 (talk • contribs) 02:43, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

The article did not make an assertion that the subject was notable. See WP:ORG for guidelines on notability for companies. The youlinmagazine article is a good start, as is the Mid-Day. I think there is some potential there, but it will need to be written to reflect the coverage it has received. Because I think you've got some decent sourcing I'm going to restore it, but it will still need some work to sustain notability - the organization's only a month old. Acroterion (talk) 02:53, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Acroterion, thank you so much for restoring it. I admit, I am new to this. But I really want to include my national heroes, whatever forms they come in, to be on Wikipedia. I will re-write the whole thing in a way where it is more aligned with Wikipedia's guidelines. I admit, that a certain bias will naturally sift so I will make a vigilant attempt to be more neutral in order to sustain notability. The company officially launched in October 2015, and has been around as far as August. While I make no claim that it is a very old company, it is doing a significant amount of work which is driving a significant amount of social impact. Thank you for restoring it. I shall be returning soon and working on the page. In the meanwhile, if you have any ideas about how I can re-write it, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks Ashrafhameed13 (talk) 03:05, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

I made a couple of technical adjustments and I'll make a couple of others. You should sift the references to use only the best, and use them to directly support the content of the article. A discussion of how the organization is viewed by independent media would help with notability. I don't really see much promotional language. Acroterion (talk) 03:09, 6 February 2016 (UTC)

Would this be a viable reason to delete an edit from the history?

On Clan, an I.P. user made an edit where they added an external link to an affiliate program. I reverted the edit but is this a good enough reason to completely delete that edit? If so, could you do it? I don't know where to request something like this. Anarchyte (work | talk) 07:15, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

In my opinion, yes, and I've done so. Affiliate spam is particularly disruptive and should be removed aggressively, at least as far as I'm concerned. Acroterion (talk) 13:05, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Your deletion of my Wiki post "Kingdom of Reddosia"

(This probably isn't the correct place to discuss this, but I'm new here, sorry. You deleted my recent wikipedia entry entitled "Kingdom of Reddosia" labeling it a blatant hoax. Although Reddosia is hardly known of, even throughout Western France, that does not mean it did not exist. It was a real fiefdom existing in late medieval France. Please restore my page.

You deleted an article in April 2015 named as "Stuart Matthew (HC)", I'm recreating that article and I want that you please approve it! Cause the singer is already hand-picked by MTV as an Artist and he is now nominated for Best Pop Artist in Radio City Freedom Awards.

Thank You — Preceding unsigned comment added by JBLsasd (talk • contribs) 12:30, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

It looks more or less OK in general apart from a lack of sufficient sourcing and the presence (which I've removed) of inappropriate spammy links to videos. Notability is asserted, but barely (what does hand-picked mean? Are other artists not "hand-picked"?) Admins don't "approve" anything, nor does my review mean it must stay. It needs appropriate third-party sources. Also, the parenthetical HC is cryptic, we would normaly just use the plain name or HC unless it's specifically part of the persona.

This is not the first time this has happened [8]. Another user also felt that Drmargi was using my being from the UK as reason to discount my views, and equally found it insulting. That user took it to ANI [9]. --Unframboise (talk) 15:31, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Oh, and again [10] --Unframboise (talk) 15:34, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

After last night's incident, I decided to note how Drmargi has been going out of her way to force interaction between us by editing the pages I contribute to immediately after I have edited them. Can something be done about this? Examples include:

• I edited Henry Andrews at 01:55 on Feb. 28., Drmargi then edited the page at 01:04 that same day. This is the first and only time she had edited up until this point ([11]). Drmargi has since continued to edit only moments after I have (most recently, I edited at 19:09, she edited at 19:19)
• I edited Greg Sanders at 00:23 on Feb. 28., Drmargi then edited the page at 01:16 that same day. This her first edit to the page in six months ([12]). Drmargi has since continued to edit only moments after I have (most recently, I edited at 02:19, she edited at 02:27)
• I edited David Hodges at 01:27 on Feb. 28., Drmargi then edited the page at 01:57 that same day. This her first edit to the page in six months ([13]). Drmargi has since continued to edit only moments after I have (most recently, I edited at 01:57, she edited at 02:13)
• I edited Morgan Brody at 00:40 on Feb. 28., Drmargi then edited the page at 01:47 that same day. This her first edit to the page in six months ([14])
• I edited David Phillips at 01:30 on Feb. 28., Drmargi then edited the page at 01:32 that same day. This her first edit to the page in six months ([15]). Drmargi has since continued to edit only moments after I have (most recently, I edited at 01:40, she edited at 01:45)
• I edited Jim Brass at 00:31 on Feb. 28., Drmargi then edited the page at 01:15 that same day. This her first ever edit to that page ([16])
• I edited Sara Sidle at 23:05 on Feb. 27., Drmargi then edited the page at 00:03 the following day. This her first edit to the page in six months (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sara_Sidle&offset=&limit=500&action=history).
• I edited Gil Grissom at 21:26 on Feb. 27., Drmargi then edited the page at 23:56 that same day. This her first edit to the page in six months (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gil_Grissom&offset=&limit=500&action=history).
• I edited Dana Scully, specifically re: her qualifications, at 20:08 on Feb. 25., Drmargi edited to a similar end three days later. While less proof than other articles listed, it should be noted that this is the only edit made by the user to the page, ever. ([17])

I'd like to stress that my issue isn't with the users edits, but with how she seems to be patrolling my contributions (some of these edits are only minutes apart). This is begging for some sort of negative interaction, and then she seems to play Drmartyr. --Unframboise (talk) 20:00, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

1) Stop calling names.

2) I agree that Drmargi should resist the urge to edit right after you've edited something, whether it's right, wrong or indifferent. Please do likewise.

3) As with the spurious "racism" accusation, please drop the "nationalism." Parochialism it may be, but not nationalism.

4) I think you both need to avoid CSI-related topics for a while and let other editors work there. The ping-pong match isn't helping the articles. Acroterion (talk) 02:14, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Edit war at Duck family (Disney), again

Hi, Acroterion. Unfortunately, after the page protection of Duck family (Disney) expired on 13 February, the ip continued to re-add the deleted text again without discussing it on the talk page or explaining the edit in the summary: I already had to revert it three times. --Newblackwhite (talk) 21:35, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, why have you removed our company page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.254.27.97 (talk) 03:35, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

Because it does not appear to meet Wikipedia's guidelines for the inclusion of corporations in a global encyclopedia. See WP:CORP for those standards, It was also substantially promotional in nature. Since you mention "our" company, please also review WP:COI for advice on editing with a conflict of interest. Acroterion (talk) 03:45, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

IP:82.2.223.50

Hello Acroterion and trust you are well. Could I please bring to your attention the activities of 82.2.223.50 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) on The Daily Telegraph and The Guardian articles. This IP keeps changing the Political alignment of these newspapers without any new references our sources. I have asked that they stop, or give reliable sources, but this has been ignored and they have again reverted a third time. This seems to be a one-issue account, with no knowledge of Wikipedia conventions. Do you think a short block would be in order? Best regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 22:58, 7 March 2016 (UTC)

Many thanks for your help. Best, David, David J Johnson (talk) 10:13, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Hello Acroterion, regret to say the same IP has again made the same "edit", only to be reversed yet again by another editor that makes four reverts by this IP in 24 Hours - without any reason at all and a refusal to state any reason either on the article or Talk page. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 16:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

And yet again; making five reverts, without reason, in the last day. Regards, David, David J Johnson (talk) 16:36, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Even more unreferenced edits. This IP seem to be suggesting that The Daily Telegraph is "right wing" Conservative, without any references. No-one denies that this a Conservative newspaper and there is a reliable source for this. However, these "edits" appear to have a political agenda, rather than Wikipedia neutral point of view, and no notice is taken of editors advice and warnings.

A user named ClueBot NG reverted my edits on the chupacabra page, deleting an important chupacabra sighting. Please help me deal with this. Gigantopithecusman (talk) 08:35, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

You're reverting an anti-vandal bot. While your edit wasn't, strictly speaking, vandalism, it was inappropriate poorly sourced commentary. Few TV shows of the kind you mention meet Wikipedia's reliable sourcing policy. See the reliable sourcing policy and the verifiability policy. Please stop adding your own thoughts to Wikipedia. Acroterion (talk) 11:54, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks I will never, ever do It again, but how can I edit articles without some robot reporting me as a vandal? Gigantopithecusman (talk) 13:11, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

The bot flagged common phrases and terms used by new editors who have added similar content to articles like that. You should use the article talkpage to propose appropriately sourced edits, and gain a consensus of other users that your edits will improve the article. You are editing an encyclopedia, and current Wikipedia standards expect editors to sourcing similar to that expected in collegiate study. That standard is enforced to varying degrees: medical articles expect citations to college post-graduate levels, articles on popular culture have to make do with less. Pseudoscience topics such as the ones you've been editing are watched closely, as they attract unfortunately enthusiasts who tend to be lax with sourcing and attribution.

This MC is a Military based one, run BY Military FOR Military, & uses a Military structure & titleing compaired to other MC's who use a traditional structure & that title.. that ALONE makes it notable & unique!!!

Question

How can I create a new article? And can I create one on the Pukehina Predator?Gigantopithecusman (talk) 13:15, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

You figured it out, but you ignored the extensive warnings I posted on your talkpage about copyright violations. If you do that again, you can expect to be blocked. Please use sources to write an encyclopedic article in your own words in accordance with Wikipedia policy, using the sources as references. This is something you'll need to learn how to do anyway for college. But first you need to read and understand what we've posted for you on your userpage. You may also want to read some advice on your first article. Acroterion (talk) 18:53, 9 March 2016 (UTC)

SharkSSL Advert Entire Page Tag

Reference: The advert tag is for articles that are directly trying to sell a product to our readers. Don't add this tag simply because the material in the article shows a company or a product in an overall positive light or because it provides an encyclopedic summary of a product's features.

Please be more specific regarding where edits are needed given I spent an extreme amount of time using outside references to validate each statement on the page. Likewise I took time to review all SSL/TLS implementations as referenced at Comparison of TLS implementations.

I'm new to Wikipedia and appreciate any guidance you can offer. If the marking is in haste please consider to remove it.

Thanks Sorisen Sorisen (talk) 03:42, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

The tag is there because the article is written in a strongly promotional tone. It is just short of deletable advertisement. Please edit the article for neutrality and avoidance of promotion. If you have a conflict of interest in this matter it may be difficult for you to achieve sufficient editorial distance from the subject, and you must declare such a conflict. See WP:COI for best practices in such instances. I note that another experienced editor has made substantial changes to make the article more neutral in character. Acroterion (talk) 03:46, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

I've trimmed and consolidated some more of the article so that it no longer reads as a marketing release, or at least is less so. Having done that, I've removed the advertising tag. Please remember that even a hint of promotion is regarded with extreme disfavor, and articles that talk in superlatives of "industry-leading products" attract attention and edits. Acroterion (talk) 04:12, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Thanks so much for your help. I really found new enjoyment creating this page and hope to make additional pages in the future (with the new advise and without the mistakes), I appreciate the time you took to help modify. Sorisen (talk) 04:26, 10 March 2016 (UTC)

Happy to help. It could do with more rewriting. I tried to scale back the extensive repetition of gthe product name, though there are now too many sentences that start with "it." You might want to look at converting the references from base URLs to standard reference formatting. Acroterion (talk)

Thank you for letting me know. If I had known copyright would be THAT serious, I would have written it in my own words. Can I create Pukehina Predator again? If you have any problems with it, or if there is copyright, please block me for a month Gigantopithecusman (talk) 14:58, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

Pukehina Predator prototype: In August, 2014, a terrifying creature washed up on Pukehina Beach, fueling speculation about sea monsters, Mesozoic marine reptiles in particular. The carcass was found by a group of tourists equipped with four wheelers, who had come to the beach to relax, and were enjoying the idyllic view, until one eagle-eyed women spotted the giant sea monster lying in the foreground.

According to a few eyewitnesses, one of which posted a video of the terrifying creature, the sea monster had two rudimentary flippers, terrifying, crooked teeth, and a vaguely reptile shape. They could not positively identify the creature, as the tail was clearly dissected by something, but before they requested help on Youtube, they made intelligent guesses of the genus of the creature, based solely on the head and teeth, which both were extremely detailed.

One of the witnesses posted a video of the monster on Youtube, requesting help with identification and providing useful information, which were extremely detailed.

The comments suggested anything from a "Saltwater crocodile" to a "Giant moray eel" Despite that, a marine mammal expert, Anton van Halden, after inspecting all the news and photographs, suggested that the Pukehina Predator might actually be a mutilated orca, based on the structure of the teeth, which actually were similar in shape, but slightly bigger in size, and were buried down more into the jaws.

Also an interesting fact is that during one moment of the video, the jaws of the fearsome predator were moving! Of course, that easily could have been a hoax, but if genuine, then that means that a small part of the brain was still alive, thus suggesting that a proper DNA analysis would positively identify the creature, though the monster was lost the day after the discovery.

What follows is a list of the two best candidates for the Pukehina Predator: 1) Killer Whale, based on an intelligent guess of Anton van Halden 2) Tylosaurus Proriger, based on the structure of the jaw and teeth, and also the fact that they were around 12 meters, and the Pukehina Predator had no tail, makes this Cretaceous predator a strong possibility.

I wrote this myself. Please tell me if this is acceptable according to Wikipedia's Rules Gigantopithecusman (talk) 18:21, 11 March 2016 (UTC)

No you're not. You've been (once again) editing and reverting pages straight after I do - edits I made in accordance with your arguments on co-productions ([18], [19]), you've been using the word "nationalism" to describe Brits who object to your edits, a word I was warned against using due to its negative connotations - a warning you advocated [20]. I know the old boys club looks out for its own, but this needs to stop. You're purposely - yet subtly - confrontational, just niggling users enough to incite retaliation, and then you hide behind phrases like "I'm trying to keep as much distance". You direct users towards talk pages, such as with the "Immortality" debate over at CSI, [21], then drop out of discussions, and claim your edit is the status quo until all parties have agreed (an impossibility, clearly, since you refuse to discuss). And then, when I ask you a simple question re: the justification for co-productions, you kick up a fuss and talk about user page bans. What am I missing!? --Unframboise (talk) 23:13, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

Provide diffs if you think you're being followed. I'm responding to the clear instance of you (twice) posting on a talkpage you've been asked to avoid.

I note in passing that the two diffs you did provide above indicate an odd insistence on your part that 8% of something is significant enough to make the thing a joint effort. This is an encyclopedia that provides broad summaries of subjects: insisting that a 92-8 split is significant is an excessively fine distinction and an inappropriate synthesis against apparent facts.

Finally, I'll observe that requests to avoid your talkpage don't preclude administrators from taking necessary actions and making appropriate notifications as circumstances demand. You can't avoid criticism or administrative actions by claiming that your talkpage is off limits.

I'm going to be away for at least a day on a visit to an out-of-town project site. I won't be available to respond to any issues, except as occasion permits. Acroterion (talk) 00:48, 23 March 2016 (UTC)

Certainly, as long as you can show by reference to appropriate sources that the subjects are notable, and as long they are written in your words and not in copyrighted language, new articles would be fine.

Cunningham Bounds LLC

Hi I created this because Cunningham Bounds LLC is representing the state of Alabama in the BP Oil Spill class action.

Gyr8 Gyr8 (talk) 17:09, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

I didn't see any particular claim to notability in the article, and I'm unconvinced that the firm meets WP:NOTE based on its participation in BP litigation - notability is not usually inherited by association with a notable event. If you can substantiate that the firm has received significant and fairly detailed coverage in major media, there's no bar to re-creation, and I'd be happy to place the content in a sandbox in your userspace for you to work on. Acroterion (talk) 17:12, 4 April 2016 (UTC)

Good afternoon -- you recently indef-blocked User:Sleazy Donald for trolling on the Zodiac Killer talk page; and now we have what I would assume (but lack the tools to prove) is a sock, 184.68.176.114, attempting to post the same nonsense.

Request to check edits

Hello

You have recently added a deletion request to my page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Parker_Square for the reason: No assertion of notability. I have attempted to fix this by adding a notability section and another sentence to the intro. Please review my edits and if satisfactory remove the deletion request. Otherwise please tell me what I need to do to further fix my article as I am a beginner Wikipedian.

Thanks, Zenged — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zenged (talk • contribs) 00:35, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

As I noted on the article talkpage, notability hinges on coverage in independent media, which would also satisfy verifiability and reliable sourcing. So far I see something someone with moderate notability made up, without any assertion that the semi-magic square is notable. Acroterion (talk) 00:38, 19 April 2016 (UTC)

I'll try to keep an eye on things. Acroterion (talk) 12:18, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Here's some background on List of Mayday episodes whose talk page the IP was vandalizing.

That particular article has been indefinitely semi-protected mostly due to IPs, but sometimes because of registered users, adding entries for episodes on aviation accidents that aren't going to be made. This has been going on for some. An editor first created a hoax article on an accident, then added it to the episode list. I'll give that hoax creator some credit, his article had to go through AFD two times before it was deleted as a hoax. Check here[30] and here[31] for the details. The first AFD was no consensus. Even after that was dealt with, hoax episodes were regularly added to the list. I chronicled it here[32]. Note eventually some of those hoax entries became episodes but not for at least one year had passed since the edit was made. My nominee for all time prize winner for fiction writing at WP is below. It is worth reading.

BA flight 0001 / September 21, 1960 / Mcdonald Douglas MD80 / CO-Pilot Suicide British Airways flight 0001 took off from Manchester Airport in 1960 the co-pilot hits the captian over the head with a fire extinguisher. on board flight attendant Lucy Rivers is shocked and disarms the co-pilot, but not before the plane plummets into a busy high school in Newall Green, Killing 600 on the ground and 200 on flight, 58 passengers survive and 8 cabin crew, co-pilot Sarah Donovan perishes but Pilot Patricia Itshen survives

No aviation accident has ever killed 600 people and the MD80 that crashed in 1960 supposedly wasn't flown until the 1980s. That entry[33] always makes me laugh.

Due to the hoaxes and fiction written into the article, a consensus was formed to regulate how and when episodes can be added. They always have to be referenced with a WP:RS and it was decided Imdb wasn't a RS.

The IP is unhappy because he can't access the article to play around and since I have been very high profile in enforcing the consensus, he targets me. Cheers!...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 17:33, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

Wow. I'm pretty familiar with aviation history, that, erm, episode wins the prize easily. I'll watchlist the article. Acroterion (talk) 17:39, 27 April 2016 (UTC)

I see Widr got him. I'm not keen on permanent talkpage protection, it's certainly frowned upon for admins to do that with their own talkpages. Given that the IP seems reasonably static we might go longer than a month, I'll discuss with Widr when I get home. Acroterion (talk) 18:00, 4 May 2016 (UTC)

I have inserted the word Irish because they are of Irish descent and not just English or American as has been stated. Not to state this is not only inaccurate but also misleading. JFK being a good example.

'Irish American' is an accepted term as is 'of Irish descent' To just describe them as English or American is not accurate.

Another example is Mark Carney who you state is Canadian when he has Irish and Canadian nationality and is of Irish descent.

I would be interested to know what your background is and why you think they are just 'English' or just 'American' because I am sure it would throw light on your opinion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claiomh22 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

Ethnicity

You have written Please stop adding "Irish" to the nationalities of people who never had Irish nationality. Ethnicity may be mentioned, but not in a context where the nationality may be confused. Ethnicity should never be emphasized unless it forms a strong part of the individual's identity.

Again to repeat as an example Mark Carney does have Irish citizenship. But that is irrelevant, in my opinion, because I have used a well known and well used terms such as 'Irish-American' and 'of Irish descent' not as a nationality but as a true description of their background. You don't have to be an Irish citizen to be Irish.

Your argument fails because I amended the word 'English' and that is also not a nationality, it is an ethnicity. So where is your argument? I amended a misleading ethnic description with an accurate one.

Without being rude but wanting to understand your thinking please state your background and nationality? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claiomh22 (talk • contribs) 14:33, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

It is not Wikipedia's practice to, for example, add "Irish" to the lede in a biography of John F. Kennedy simply because he was of Irish ethnic background. He was of American nationality, full stop. His family was very much Irish, but in the context of the lede, Irish-American implies (strongly) that he was of dual nationality, which is obviously wrong. It is also something that has been extensively abused by nationalist and ethnic partisans to place their preferred stamp on individuals, and has been the source of considerable disruption. It is fine to describe a person's ethnic background in the proper context, as I explained before, but not in a misleading hyphenated statement in the lede. It is considered disruptive to do so (for a particularly tiresome example, look at Copernicus), so please confine your edits of this kind to those who can be proven through references to hold dual nationality, and please remember that repeated inappropriate ethnic characterization of this kind is often viewed as partisan and disruptive.

A good example of appropriate practice can be seen at Frank Sinatra (a reviewed Good Article), who is specifically described as American, born to Italian immigrants. He is not "Italian-American," just American, and he was far less removed from Italy than the Kennedys were from Ireland. Ireland was four generations removed from Jack Kennedy.

For my part I would have to be described as ethnically (in rough priority) English-Scottish-German-Irish-Dutch-Native American/African/Romani/Indian ? (see Melungeon), and that Germany did not exist when my ancestors left, and my Irish ancestors were probably Protestants from Ulster. I'm from West Virginia and therefore American in nationality, where the majority of people could be, and usually are described as Scotch-Irish Americans. But that doesn't get put in the lede.

Hall of Game Awards/42nd Peoples Choice Awards/StealthForce

Greetings, I don't post anything major to warrant myself creating an account here, but I've been involed with a few flamewars with StealthForce (and three other unknown IPs) who have supported him regarding the two wiki articles: 42nd People's Choice Awards, and the Hall of Game Awards. There has been some numerous edit warring over the winner of the Sci-Fi show on the former, and about the latter having its last awards in 2014. I created a report page yesterday (under a different IP), but no action has been taken. Also, please look at StealthForce's talk page; he is giving off an abrasive tone defending his edits when he's wrong. I hope you can talk about all this.

Ethnicity

You wrote 'It is not Wikipedia's practice to, for example, add "Irish" to the lede in a biography of John F. Kennedy simply because he was of Irish ethnic background. He was of American nationality, full stop'

First of all JFK was not 'just' American, full stop. You may have many different ethnicities in your background but people like JFK and Conan O'Brien et al do not and therefore identify strongly with their ethnic background, hence the term Irish-American.

Please answer my question which I posed to you, with regard to the term English. There is no English self governing nation, hence no English passport, as it is a constituent part of the UK. Therefore if I amend say Boy Georges ID to born in England of Irish descent it is an accurate description of his ethnicity and the influences that shaped his personality. Just putting English does not do this and it does not fit your parameters as a description of nationality. He is not ethnically English nor does he have English nationality.

I also amended the entry for the head of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, to read Irish-Canadian. In this case he does have dual nationality but he is of Irish descent. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Claiomh22 (talk • contribs) 11:58, 17 May 2016 (UTC) See WP:NATIONALITY: +

See WP:NATIONALITY: "Ethnicity, religion, or sexuality should generally not be in the lead unless it is relevant to the subject's notability. Similarly, previous nationalities or the country of birth should not be mentioned in the lead unless they are relevant to the subject's notability." This is part of the manual of style,. Your question is an invitation to debate, and I'm not interested in debating hypotheticals with you when the MoS clearly states what is to be done. Stick to what the MoS requires. You are muddling nationality and ethnicity, or giving higher prominence to ethnicity than Wikipedia guidelines do.

Kennedy was notable as an American politician, not as a person of Irish descent. Sinatra was an American singer. Madeleine Albright is an American politician, not a Czech-American politician. Boy George's Irish descent should not be featured prominently in the lead, per MoS. Carney is probably fine as a dual national: others may disagree. Acroterion (talk) 12:27, 17 May 2016 (UTC)

It went about the way I expected it to. That was by far the finest coatrack article I've seen since 2008. MaxSem has taken care of talkpage access. I very much doubt it's that editor's first time on Wikipedia. Kep in mind we have arbitration enforcement remedies for this sort of thing too. Acroterion (talk) 01:14, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I couldn't see it ending any other way either. Given this is my first time dealing with a coatrack (and while I have you here)... in a future similar situation, how would Arbitration enforcement apply? And could coatracks be nominated under a CSD? RA0808 ^talk_contribs 01:25, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

I would consider it an attack page/BLP violation, especially given its particular title, and that was the basis for speedy-deleting it. In this particular case AN/I might have been an option, or flagging down a passing admin. It wasn't even close to being acceptable as an article. As I noted, there might be room for an article on this event/person if the topic gains legs, but the malicious intent of that editor was plenty to delete out of hand, and was confirmed by their post-block actions. That's why the WMF gives admins asbestos underwear (in lieu of the wikicoins and wiki-groupies they promised us). Acroterion (talk) 01:31, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

In a less extreme case arbitration enforcement would be for American politics 2, I would call the article an obvious violation warranting a topic ban if the editor seemed salvageable. In that case the arbitration enforcement page would be an option. Acroterion (talk) 01:38, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

"No rational person could possibly see an edit by you (Nyttend) making some improvements of the article, followed by an edit by William making different improvements of the article and think to themselves that William was confronting or inhibiting you." Sphilbrick called Nyttend irrational with good reason.

Nyttend, why did you threaten to have me blocked for harassment on the grounds that I had been blocked for it before when you in very own words said I didn't commit harassment? Acroterion, please make him answer that question or explain his behavior?

So I quoted people's statements made on my or other's talk pages and I have replied to them in the same places. I quoted Jimbo Wales too on what he thinks is grounds for immediate dysopping. Why this administrator is allowed to continue to have the ability to abuse people when he has been called irrational by another administrator I'd love to know. Irrational people shouldn't have the administrative tools, especially ones who take any criticism[39] or this[40] against them as a personal attack. In that 2nd one you should read the comments from Liz and Drmies on what Nyttend terms a PA ...William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 20:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)

Oh for Christ's sake, this again? You really don't understand that you can't keep a shrine on your userpage to remind yourself of the editors you've taken against? Your userpage isn't some kind of breaching experiment. While what you put back a month and a half after Sphilbrick and I asked you to remove your previous manifesto is short of what I removed, but it's still a shrine to an old grudge that you've been repeatedly advised is destructive and against community practice. Please find something else to do that doesn't involve cherishing grievances. I'm removing it as another clear breach of WP:POLEMIC. If it goes back, I will take it up at AN/I.

Oh for Chris sakes to you. This administrator should have been blocked for WP:DISRUPT based on his threat to get me blocked by lying to another administrator. His other behavior is only less disgraceful. An administrator both says this man is irrational and that it was unfair he wasn't held accountable for what he got another administrator to do to me. You want to defend this person? Let's go to ANI, Nyttend and his reign of terror needs to be put to a stop. He's a disgrace to this website for his constantly abusing editors around here and it is a disgrace that his fellow admins won't put an end to this. Those who protect monsters are monsters too because you won't protect the victims but instead the monsters who harm them. You should be ashamed of yourself for taking down what you did and for everything he has done from threats of lies to bogus claims of personal attacks, to violations of Involved, Outing, Scrutiny, TPO, and more. Practically all of the stuff involving me can be found via my talk page. I could just restore that. Talk pages don't have to be archived. My User page demands attention but a monster don't. Sphilbrick has called Nyttend irrational and that it was unfair he wasn't held accountable. I'm not the only one who thinks very little of him.

Your use of the word destructive towards me is insulting. I can't do anything mildly destructive around here. The destructive one is Nyttend as seen by his own behavior. He was perfectly willing to lie to get me blocked. If that isn't destructive, what is? Tell me.

Ask Nyttend why he is suddenly here today (I have two good guesses what it is) and to answer my question above....William, is the complaint department really on the roof? 01:53, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
