Royal Marines Base Chivenor

It's likely that edits such as this are based on similar edits by other users. I can't see any discussion on this but maybe it's because there isn't a place for former names in the infobox. Peter James (talk) 17:50, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

But he didn't provide valid citations or references to support his edits.And he kept striking out names instead of renaming them.ChamithN (talk) 18:06, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

In the edit I linked, the old name was added struck out; the existing name wasn't changed. No information was added, only information already in the article (but without a source) was copied to the infobox. Peter James (talk) 18:26, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Reverts on Soundararaja Perumal Temple, Nagapattinam

Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. I see you have reverted contents in the page citing ref structure. Probably you may like to go through citation styles - Wikipedia:Citing sources. Also, for ref structure, corrections have to be made and not reverts. Please note referenced content addition is a tougher exercise and please apply due diligence before reverting. Thanks a lot for your contributions.Ssriram mt (talk) 06:37, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

removing "dead links"

I think there's an important distinction between external links which no longer work due to link rot and red links to Wikipedia articles which haven't yet been created. With a dead external link, it's reasonable to simply delete the link, assuming there's no easy fix. Red links on the other hand, are part of the wiki construction process. Before unlinking a redlink, please consider whether the non-existent article should exist.

See, for example, this recent essay: Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2014-08-13/Op-ed

Reverts on Girl Meets World

Patrolling pages/CSD

Hi. Thank you for your help with the vital work of patrolling new pages. I noticed that you are not marking some of the pages you've reviewed as patrolled. Please do remember to click the 'mark this page as patrolled' link at the bottom of the new page if you have performed the standard patrolling tasks. Where appropriate, doing so saves time and work by informing fellow patrollers of your review of the page, so that they do not duplicate efforts. Thanks again for volunteering your time at the new pages patrol project. In addition, when you nominate a page for deletion, please be sure to do so using a specific criteria for speedy deletion and template. —gdfusion (talk|contrib) 07:21, 8 September 2014 (UTC)

Ernesto Frieri

The following season, despite appearing in just 33 games for the Padres, Frieri allowed just 6 earned runs in 31.2 innings. His ERA finished at 1.71 with 41 strikeouts.

In 2011, Frieri struck out 76 batters in 63 innings, owning an ERA of 2.71 for the season. In 2012, Frieri appeared in 11 games for the Padres.

Those 4 sentences I provided was to add info to his biography. He has his stats from 2009 but then what happened to the next three years? You mean to tell me I can't add more info to what he should have when no one takes the time to do it. I don't need references to add those things because it should be there but no one has bothered to put it. That's like having a bio of Michael Jordan and jumping from when he won his 7th title to when he retired. What about everything that happened in between? I'm not adding false info, I'm just adding what should be placed.

Hey 1remains I appreciate your concern to make Wikipedia a better place and I understand the necessity of stats for those three years you mentioned,but according to Wikipedia Policies articles about living persons, which require a degree of sensitivity, must have high-quality references, particularly about details of personal lives.Furthermore it states that "Unsourced or poorly sourced contentious material—whether negative, positive, or just questionable—about living(or sometimes recently deceased) persons should be removed immediately and without discussion from Wikipedia articles, talk pages, user pages, and project space."

So even though you are entering correct details you should also provide verifiable sources to readers to check whether those information is correct.Thank You!.ChamithN (talk) 04:52, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

References

Please be careful when adding references. In your addition here, you have cited an Indian content farm, which is simply copying material from a number of copyright sources without attribution. You may want to read WP:RS before making any other additions to biographies of living persons, especially high visibility ones. Kuru (talk) 11:38, 16 September 2014 (UTC)

Your recent Good Article nominations

ChamithN, I noticed that you made two Good Article nominations on September 17, for the articles My Name Is Khan and Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. These appear to be your first WP:GAN nominations, though as best I can determine you have never edited either article. I suspect you weren't aware the the nomination instructions say that Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination.

While anyone can nominate an article for GA consideration, you should be aware that a nomination is a great deal of responsibility, not merely an expression of support, or a feeling that the article deserves to be labeled as such. Good Articles must meet the GA criteria. Almost invariably, during the course of a review, issues will be found with the article that must be fixed: prose problems, manual of style issues, sourcing issues, that the article isn't sufficiently broad in its coverage, and so on. The person who is expected to fix them is the nominator, which is you for these two nominations, unless you can find someone else willing to do the work. If you don't or can't, then the nominations fail.

If you were aware of what you were taking on, more power to you and best of luck once a reviewer begins work on the nomination. If you weren't, and aren't prepared to make the commitment to work on the article during the review, then the best thing to do is withdraw the nominations, which can be done by reverting your edits on the respective article talk pages. If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to let me know, or to check with the instructions. Thanks for your interest in Good Articles. BlueMoonset (talk) 01:45, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

No,You were right,I wasn't aware of those points.If I knew,I would have never nominated those article as good articles.I will withdraw my nominations for now.Thank you for notifying me about this situation.As a matter of fact I read the GA criteria but I never came up with the part " Nominators who are not significant contributors to the article should consult regular editors of the article prior to a nomination." I think I made a mistake.But I can assure you that I won't nominate articles as good articles before consulting editors.Thank you!--ChamithN (talk) 03:46, 19 September 2014 (UTC)

BM

Hey sup. I directed the session for a separate article (VEVO Lift: Bridgit Mendler). Thanks and have a nice day. Shane Harper 4 Life (talk) 16:38, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

@Shane Harper 4 Life:You redirected a section from Hello My Name Is... to an article VEVO Lift: Bridgit Mendler.Eventhough the both articles are about the same artist they provide significantly different information."Hello My Name Is..." is about an studio album by Bridgit Mendler and "VEVO Lift: Bridgit Mendler"is an web documentary series about American recording artist Bridgit Mendler.Same artist,different aspects.So your contribution is not constructive.You maybe blocked from editing if you continue to revert these changes.--Chamith (talk) 16:44, 21 September 2014 (UTC)

Copyright Vio by user Panamaorchids

Draft:Charles Wesley Powell Hello. I have never written a page for Wikipedia before. I am trying to get the the proper documentation on my images. I believe the images I want to use from the Smithsonian Institution are PD-USGov and I am working hard to get them done correctly. I am not tech savvy. Sorry. Panamaorchids (talk) 20:19, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Draft:Charles Wesley Powell I think it might be OK if I draft the PD info I want to substitute, in the licensing info for the images, for the Fair Use info. I should make the draft, add it, and then delete then delete the Fair Use info. Is that a better idea? Again, sorry. Panamaorchids (talk) 20:30, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

You are violating copyright rules.Your file does not belong to you and wikipedia has a strict policy against copyright infrigment.Read Copyright policies--Chamith (talk) 21:03, 22 September 2014 (UTC)

Updates and Revisions to Paul Clark

Logged in to re-remove bio and parse data across added new sections. Re-removed personal data Paul Clark requested be removed. Added instruments played and thank you for catching the good faith edits and reverting them even though it was at the request of Paul Clark unbeknown to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Electronimusic (talk • contribs) 06:39, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

@Electronimusic:I revert disruptive editing and vandalism even if I don't know about the person mentioned in the article.You don't need to know about the stuff in an article to remove non-constructive edits or mistakes made by other users.You have to do it according to Wikipedia reverting policies.I reverted your edit because you didn't provide a good explanation to "removal of cited content".Anyway I can see that you aren't a vandalizer or a disruptive editor ,That's why I marked your edit as a good faith.I'm so happy about your decision to create an account to edit wikipedia.I hope you will decide to stay and keep editing wikipedia.Regards.

Benaam link

Good time of the day! You just deleted my link. You think it's hurtful to people who interested in this movie to see pics from it to know how actors looked liked? Website is clean from any kind of ads or any other harmful or inappropriate content. Please explain why screenshots are inappropriate for an encyclopedia? Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yatanis (talk • contribs) 21:59, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

@Yatanis:.I think you should read Wikipedia linking policies.According to the point 11 "Blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority. (This exception for blogs, etc., controlled by recognized authorities is meant to be very limited; as a minimum standard, recognized authorities who are individuals always meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people.)" should be avoided.That's why I removed your link.Thank you.--Chamith (talk) 22:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

Disney Frozen "test" thing

I saw your notification on my talk page. But why do you consider it a test? Haykam821 (talk) 22:10, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

@Haykam821: I had to consider it as a test because,you made multiple edits during that time period,first you added content to the plot,then you removed it again and after a while you added it again.So I assumed it as a test edit.Thank you-Chamith (talk) 22:17, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

That's weird ChamithN, never happened to me before. I assume that it is a glitch? Haykam821 (talk) 22:19, 24 September 2014 (UTC)

@Haykam821: You have to take responsibility for your actions.Even if it wasn't a test edit,you have to admit that your edit doesn't appear constructive relative to the previous one--Chamith (talk) 22:25, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
