Accidental erasure

Hi! I would like to apologize for the mistake I made. I was trying to add a song but I erased everything and I didn't know how to pull it back up. I try to contact somebody like an admin (like you) but I couldn't. Hope you can understand. Thank you by the way! Sincerely, Gamerato (new user)

It's fine, we have bots and several users watching Special:RecentChanges at all times, and deleted content usually gets fixed quickly. Help:Page history explains how to undo edits and restore old versions, so next time you can do it yourself. I've had to revert my own edits a couple times today myself.
By the way I'm not currently an admin. Aside from blocking users, completely deleting articles, and a couple other maintenance tasks you can do almost anything on Wikipedia without any special permissions. Take a look at the New contributors' help page for some information to get you started. —Guanaco 02:01, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mediation Committee

I just saw that you reactivated and want to make sure that you're still subscribed to the Medcom mailing list since that's where case openings are announced and accepted. If you're not, activate your email link here so you can Wiki-email me with an email address to be added to the list. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 05:38, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reminding me. Email sent. —Guanaco 05:48, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I'm watching for it, but my mail is sometimes slow. It's 1:00 AM here and I'm going to go fling myself into the arms of Morpheus and will look for it in the morning. I look forward to working with you. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 06:07, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Just FYI, I received your test message sent through the list. Best regards, TransporterMan (TALK) 15:54, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Gustavo Zamudio

I deleted content in that page because the information was wrong and I couldn't find anything in Google to verificate it. In Wikipedia in Spanish I did the same, without objections. You can see that here: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gustavo_Zamudio — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sconf (talk • contribs)

Thanks for letting me know. I've restored your edit and did a bit of searching myself with no luck. Next time it would help to make a note in your edit summary. Something simple like "unsourced, can't verify on Google" makes things easier for those of us patrolling recent changes. —Guanaco 17:30, 25 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Scholar200

Hi, could you please delete the article titled "Little Satan (Israel Title)." This article is problematic in nature because it promotes a viewpoint that is explicitly Zionist and anti-Iranian in nature. Specifically the fact that it only seems to about how Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't like the fact that Iran has referred his country as the "Little Satan" and that from this, the article promotes Iran's anti-Israeli view as if it were based on pure antisemitism which is not the case. The article, if it were to still exist, should mention the reasoning behind the title from the Iranian perspective. Specifically it should mention the fact that Israel acts as both an imperialist power in the region displacing the Palestinian people and acts more or less as a puppet of American Imperialist interests. The "Great Satan" article at least mentions the reasoning behind Iran's labeling of the United States as such, because of it's imperialism. The article, which only depicts Benjamin Netanyahu's perspective on the term, is also explicitly Islamophobic in nature because of how it only depicts Netanyahu referring to the people who say it as Islamists. In addition, the article also violates neutrality by connotating anti-Zionism and anti-Zionist Muslims with terrorism by referring to how the term is used in terrorist propaganda. Also, the books cited are unreliable sources of Zionist propaganda.Scholar200 (talk) 02:08, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Scholar200: I'm unable to delete articles; to do this you'll need a community consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. The term is, in my opinion, a notable one, meaning it's used enough to justify the article's existence. I doubt you'd have any luck getting it deleted.
The best thing for you to do in this case is to edit the article constructively and work toward a [[Wikipedia:neutral point of view||]. More information, citing quality sources from an Iranian perspective also would be good.
This stuff's as contentious here as it is in Iran or Israel, so expect possible hostility. Stay calm and be willing to discuss changes on the article's talk pages, and you'll do well. —Guanaco 02:17, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Denis Johnson

I've learned of the death of American author Denis Johnson through the writer Chris Offutt: https://twitter.com/Chris_Offutt/status/867971243089084418 That's why I made the changes to Johnson's Wikipedia page.

Best, Brian — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2604:2000:D0D0:A800:D596:3CF6:2E0D:7742 (talk) 05:40, 26 May 2017 (UTC) @2604:2000:D0D0:A800:D596:3CF6:2E0D:7742:[reply]

Social media sources like Twitter aren't the most reliable, so it may be better to wait a day or two for something from family or an obituary. It's good to have definitive confirmation before we publicly declare someone dead. How about we give it 48 hours, and if there's nothing either way we can consider him deceased? —Guanaco 05:48, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Symbiosis law school

hey! the last change that i made in the symbiosis law school page is relevant. Btw may i know who are you Guanaco?? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.94.107.225 (talk) 05:44, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@59.94.107.225: It's relevant, but it's against Wikipedia policy to declare something as the "best." (See Wikipedia:Neutral point of view.) If you want to add awards the school has earned, positive ratings from agencies, etc., those might be valid. Just make sure you keep the neutrality policy in mind and cite sources for what you add. —Guanaco 05:50, 26 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Huh?

Hello G. This edit sent me a red ping stating that my edit had been reverted. Since it did not revert my edit having to check the ping was annoying to say the least. Don't get me wrong - I think your removal of the item was fine - I had left it out of AGF. If twinkle forces the edit to act like it was a revert of my edit then you could have just removed the item manually. I am guessing that this post will be annoying as well. Please feel free to remove it and I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend. MarnetteD|Talk 22:34, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see how it works now, sorry about that. I'll keep that in mind when I'm reverting and use old version edits instead if it's likely to bother people. Thanks for telling me. —Guanaco 22:40, 27 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
You are welcome and thanks for understanding. It is funny/not so funny that the red ping can be good or bad news :-) Cheers. MarnetteD|Talk 02:01, 28 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mistake on 2017 San Francisco Deltas Season

Hello, I'm Sovielus SF. You deleted an edit I made to the 2017 San Francisco Deltas Season that I think shouldn't have happened. I mistakenly deleted a small portion in this edit, but a majority of the edit was accurate and reflected their most recent results in the league and open cup, including goals scored, yellow cards handed out, in what minutes those occurred, next opponent in the league and cup, win/draw/loss status, referees, and match reports. Only the deletion of Line 663 was a mistake. Could you please restore the other changes I made. You can see the most recent match stats results that I used here (for the open cup)[1] and here [2](for the league match). Thank you. —Preceding undated comment added 14:52, 1 June 2017 (UTC)

I've restored everything except the line 663 deletion. Thanks for letting me know what was happening here. There's been a lot of soccer-related vandalism lately, so I appreciate the good work you're doing. —Guanaco 15:15, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry (apology)

I was very angry because I do not think I am on probation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8805:3100:BE50:7923:5343:F6A1:7845 (talk) 14:59, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hari Nef

Do you think we should request protection for Hari Nef? Anonymous IPs have removed information about her birth name twice in the past week, and geolocation shows that one obviously has a personal connection. Franzboas (talk) 21:56, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Franzboas: I'll watchlist it. The vandalism doesn't seem too heavy right now, but if it gets worse I'll request protection. —Guanaco 23:43, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
For what it's worth, a new user Special:Contributions/Harinef just tried to remove the same information. Franzboas (talk) 23:48, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Yep. If it keeps happening they'll end up blocked. If the problem gets worse, let's request protection. For now though, most admins wouldn't accept the request. —Guanaco 23:51, 3 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Kelly Cass

I would add that the user may have a COI as they state here that they are married to one of the people whose names they attempted to add to The Weather Channel. I didn't want to out any personal information so I didn't press the matter. 331dot (talk) 00:54, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing this out. I'll keep an eye on the situation and try to make sure the article content in this area stays neutral. —Guanaco 00:57, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I don't have a "Conflict" of Interest, I merely have an "Interest". I came across the Wikipedia list of Weather Channel Meteorologists while surfing other sites and noticed that there are some missing while their equal co-hosts were mentioned. It took me about a minute to make an edit. But it was deleted practically within 24 hours, which was puzzling. So I created an account and provided references. But there were still users who felt it necessary to delete them. I didn't start to get annoyed until the person posting above stated that some merit mention and some do not. Who made her the arbiter of that is not clear. I will provide as much as I can to make well-sourced and informative entries. Keybeeny (talk) 01:14, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you added a link from liverampup.com entitled "Kelly Cass's Married Gooner Husband". Do you realize that is one of the most fake, incorrect, unreliable, bot-created websites on the internet? Do you realize that the picture of the family "Chris Bee" is not our family at all? That the birthdate listed for her is incorrect? For you mods at Wikipedia to give me a hassle about providing links from her Blue-Check certified Social Media as well as her bio page on weather.com, and then use that link from liverampump as a source, has me laughing out loud. My name is K* B*, not Chris Bee. Her married name is B*. She goes by her maiden name Kelly Cass and has for the past 18 years. Would you please delete that phony reference? Thanks. Keybeeny (talk) 01:31, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Keybeeny: My personal opinion on sources like Facebook is aligned with Wikipedia's policy on this. The blue check you mentioned verifies it's not fake, so we can in fact use it for some uncontroversial information. As for the term "conflict of interest," it refers to Wikipedia's policy on editors connected to the subject of an article. In some cases it can get extremely messy, with people adding false favorable information or removing verifiable but unpleasant truths.
Overall it's difficult to write good articles on Kelly Cass and others because there aren't many sources available. So we have to do the best we can with what we have, while erring in favor of omission if we're dealing with contentious claims and limited sources. I'll go ahead and remove the Liverampup source and data of birth for now.
By the way, I'm not any kind of mod or admin. I have been in the past, but now I'm just an editor like yourself. —Guanaco 01:52, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I do appreciate that you have allowed this to at least be considered. Anyone who watches that network knows who are the hosts of Weather Underground and who are the hosts of AMHQ Weekend. People who do not watch it, and that would be the majority of people in the world, should not have a problem with leaving it to those who do. Keybeeny (talk) 14:39, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
