E-meter

Hey, I saw your revert on my e-meter edit. I though that the sentence I removed was extraneous and poorly worded.. Daler (talk) 09:30, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Avoiding contractions

Hi. Basically because it sounds informal, which is the wrong tone for an encyclopedia. See The Wikipedia Manual of Style. Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 10:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I have a problem on the other project. --User:Adam.J.W.C. (talk) 11:47, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi there, I just reverted the worst of it, but you might want to double check to make sure its clean. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 15:26, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

No worries. He was a bit touchy about his article being deleted, apparently. Quite mature. He was also on a vandalising spree this morning so I reported him and he's been blocked indef. Good to weed out the vandal only accounts —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travellingcari (talk • contribs) 15:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Bloomfield Hills School District

I removed some of the tags you placed on this article. {{introrewrite}}, {{cleanup}}, and {{expand}} are not really appropriate for stubs. Please reconsider using these tags on stubs in the future are they are really in-actionable for stubs and simply bloat the maintenance categories until someone removes them.--BirgitteSB 15:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

Please do not remove that long section. I added to it, much of what you removed was already there; had been for a long time. As it happens, I am still working on it at this precise moment. If you challenge anything, please tell me which bits, or leave tags on the parts where you would like to see sources and I will do what I can to improve it. Right now, I am still tidying the page and putting some touches to it so please observe this. Thank you. Evlekis (talk) 11:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

If you are still here, I accept that finding sources is a little difficult, but what I am now going to do is go back over the entire section and remove anything which appears POV or written as though to promote certain sentiment. Looking back at what I wrote, I accept that there are a few remarks which I should have checked before I submitted, human instict caused me to save first. You are very welcome to assert yourself or question anything if you are not happy with it, I am happy to cooperate. Evlekis (talk) 11:13, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Ah why bother? You aren't about to listen anyway. (Mind meal (talk) 11:19, 8 March 2008 (UTC))

nom

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Historical persecution by Christians (2nd nomination) seems to be the third nomination. cygnis insignis 17:46, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

The way it was named is my guess, 2nd and second. The template on the article also has a bug that causes the listing to redlink. You might need to get some help from someone who knows about these things, I have never looked into it. Regards, cygnis insignis 18:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

AfD nom

Hi Otolemur crassicaudatus, I would suggest you keep the nomination open a little while longer. I really don't see how the article doesn't violate original research policies, and it'd probably be better to see if the wider community agrees... especially given the precedent set by the deletion of the other two "Historical persecution by X" articles.

Reversion of reference requests

What is the reason for reverting my good faith request for references? ✤ JonHarder ^talk 19:13, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I don't understand what the problem is with asking an editor to provide the references before jumping to AfD. Can you be more clear? ✤ JonHarder ^talk 19:19, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

These are fairly new articles (mostly not BLPs) and I think there are refs out there. Do you believe the articles are better left untagged, and the only appropriate process is AfD? Is it improper to use the "unreferenced" tag in these cases? ✤ JonHarder ^talk 19:37, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

OK, no problem. I will probably restore those tags you reverted when I have time (or you can). I generally speedy or prod articles and only AfD as the last resort because it is so involved. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 19:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for telling me! I apologise for my forgetfulness. Jump Guru (talk) 22:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Flags

Sorry I reverted your revert on White Eagle Aviation - just to explain my position a user is adding flags to all the airline infoboxes without any concensus, I have brought up the subject at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines for guidance. Thanks MilborneOne (talk) 22:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I have left a note at User talk:Tobibln and invited him to join the discussion at project level, although he appears to be going at great speed adding flags to notice! MilborneOne (talk) 22:16, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

French communes and references

I think you'll find most information particularly on the smaller settlements will only be in French unfortunately -this is why it is so important that more people are willing to translate on wikipedia. Statistical references are from INSEE -try googling that but it is only a statistical website unfortunately. Many of the communes have their own websites. Perhaps you could try looking at them and try to uinderstand the information given there -or use babel fish to get a rough translation perhaps . I'm gradually working through Yvelines but as I say it will be a gradual thing and not my only area of concentration ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 22:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Reverts of my edits

Hello. I was just wondering why you had reverted my edits to Ranmoor House and Katy Fox? In the Ranmoor case, the information removed was of no importance - in the Katy Fox case, I removed future spoiler information. In future, please use an edit summary when reverting edits, explaining why you feel it is necessary. Thanks. ~~ [Jam]^[talk] 01:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Kitano Station (Tokyo)

Edit summary is not a good place to talk with you. You asked why I was replacing night picture with daytime one in that article.

I understand it is not true that a daytime picture is always better than a night picture, but in this case, I believe the new one, the daytime picture, is better than the previous one, the night picture because it better represents original color of the subject under the daylight. In addition, for this short article, two images are excessive so that I replaced the picture instead of adding one. This is the reason why I tried to replace the picture. I don't want an edit war, so please give your concent or comment to my opinion before I make further edit to that article. --Sushiya (talk) 13:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Mountain Lake (Virginia)

I have rolled back your massive deletion on this article. I believe that the better and customary procedure for an older WP article which has undisputed but undocumented content which need to be improved is to place a WP:sources template, which I have done. This is one of many articles in the scope of WikiProject:Virginia which we are gradually upgrading. I know of nothing in it which is not accurate, we just need to cite sources using the newer WP methods. If you have any specific items you wish to challenge as incorrect, please do so and cite your source, of course. Please contact me on my User Page if you disagree, rather than engaging in an edit war with the article. Thanks, Mark in Historic Triangle of Virginia (talk) 13:41, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Persecution

I have no objection to any article on the persecution of Religion A by Religion B, provided that it is adequately sourced and is significant. Such persecution certainly occured on a substantial scale during the BJP govenment and I hear examples of it continuing. It appears usually to take the form of trying to force Christians to reconvert to Hinduism, and can be extremely violent. Christians are prosecuted for "forced conversions" when conversion is in fact voluntary, whereas Hindus never seem to be prosecuted for attemopting forceably to converty Christians. I refer to India, of course. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:19, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Recent Changes

Hi i'm sure you are aware that when you patrol recent changes you should mark them as patrolled. You seem to have forgot on Shift (video games). This saves editors time patrolling articles which have been patrolled already thanks. BigDunc (talk) 20:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

• What was the controversial edit I did? User:Odikuas 19:33 11 March 2008
• The fact that the University of Piraeus was called Higher School for Industrial Studies is included in the relevant Wikipedia article. All the other information can be found in the external links I list at the end of the page. User:Odikuas 19:37 11 March 2008

Twinkling for instant edits, what's going on here?

I think that a thumbnail size image for this subject Silver line is too small, and I enlarged it slightly. The caption is detailed and there are no other pictures in the article. Before I revert it again, I want you to justify how it is that you are reverting my edit instantly and automatically (twice so far). Looks like an edit war by robot could ensue. Who are you, the Terminator? Weird. Please explain here. JohnClarknew (talk) 22:49, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

The present image size is good. Your edit makes the image too large. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 23:14, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Ships' pages are handled differently, and the lead depiction is never a thumbnail. See HMS Queen Mary, RMS Queen Elizabeth, RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, RMS Mauretania (1906), etc. & etc. And, BTW, can you keep subject discussion on the same page, so we can all see the thread? To have question and answers on separate pages leads to obscurity, don't you agree? I see you started your contributions just 4 days ago, Otolemur crassicaudatus, and already have made maybe a hundred edits. I respectfully suggest you hang back a bit, and familiarize yourself with the site. And I'm reverting once again, and please stay off my talk page on this subject. JohnClarknew (talk) 12:42, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Beg pardon, I was wrong, I see that you had archived the past since you signed on last September. JohnClarknew (talk) 12:48, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

User:Noelaurie

Hi, i just want to point out that you warned User:Noelaurie twice for little more than uploading an image without thinking about copyright tags. Which, lets face it, is an easy mistake for any newbie to make! Maybe you should assume good faith when dealing with newbies in the future :-) Thanks and have a great day!

More automated reversions

You have again reverted many of my changes. This is becoming a problem. These are the issues:

• You have not provided me the courtesy of explaining what policy, guideline or practice I have violated. You just revert.
• Removal of templates without fixing the underlying problem is not constructive.
• The use of an automated tool to mass revert good faith edits is highly questionable.
• You apparently are not looking at what you are reverting, because you are throwing out multiple changes without much thought.

Verifiablity is a core content policy of Wikipedia. Your removal of cleanup tags pointing editors in the right direction with respect to this core policy is not appropriate. Please act with more responsibly in the future. ✤ JonHarder ^talk 21:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

I have removed only the unreferenced tags you added in some geographical stubs like French communes. There are thousands of such geographical locations and communes. Do you tag all them? I think tagging of the French commune is not good. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 21:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Mind holding off a bit, I'm in the middle of a major cleanup. Cheers. NathanLee (talk) 20:04, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, just trying not to chop so much out of it as to have nothing left. Take a look at the pre-major chop and you'll see what a mess it was. Trying to find if there are any links for any of the stuff. But main thing was to get it looking semi-respectable first. :) NathanLee (talk) 20:07, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Go for your life, I've done as much digging to try and get references as I can.. Take a look and see what you think. Very poor number of references out there that aren't just chatter on forums. NathanLee (talk) 21:40, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

About your recent change on Itō Station

Almost all sources of historical facts about Japanese stations are Japanese Wikipedia articles or official information site. I'll keep on mind to add a external link to a official information site, but can you do to add the link rather than {{Fact}}? --Izumi5 (talk) 13:42, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey! If there is unsourced info that is relevant to the article, that you think needs sources, don't just remove the info. There are "citation needed"-tags, you know.
