Lower MetzenseifenI protest the deletion of Lower Metzenseifen. The older site Medzev is entitled with a slovak name for a well-known settlement in the Cleveland area. You should really explain yourself and provide academic sources for making changes like this. Just because an article has an older creation date, does not make it more accurate. There is a reason that this site was under protection. You should really look into it. Thanks Agentxp22 (talk) 07:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
ListenWhy the community wants to pretend that certain users are banned when in fact they're editing alongside us is beyond me. Allowing User:Sheynhertz-Unbayg and other past banned users to freely contribute and allow their edits to stay not only encourage them to continue to evade said ban, but it further asserts the community's two-faced hypocritical bullshit that it regularly engages in. --MuZemike 15:10, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
I strongly recommend not doing that. It won't help, and it'll turn the problem into a you-versus-MuZemike arbitration case; which is not, and should not be, the actual problem at all. Uncle G (talk) 16:53, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia Help SurveyHi there, my name's Peter Coombe and I'm a Wikimedia Community Fellow working on a project to improve Wikipedia's help system. At the moment I'm trying to learn more about how people use and find the current help pages. If you could help by filling out this brief survey about your experiences, I'd be very grateful. It should take less than 10 minutes, and your responses will not be tied to your username in any way. Thank you for your time, Start walking the walkIn this Arbitration Request [3] you used the following words "Edit-warring a section with the glaringly judgmental title "Political Manipulations and Falsification of History in Azerbaijan" into a contentious article displays reckless disregard to the requirements of NPOV and is, as such, sanctionable behaviour." You said this about edits made to the Khojaly Massacre article. I now challenge you to help to take this article away from the revert-ridden, edit warring, "partisan mud-fest" that exists there, and that you do it by being involved in editing it. Or are you only interested in sanctioning editors who work on contentious articles? As you can see, I have been bold and made some cuts to that article (removng some of its propagandistic elements) that will probably stir up a hornets' nest. I would like either support for my aims or an explanation why my edit was wrong. Meowy 02:23, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
Arb Enforcement questionYou're a regular at AE, so looking for a little advice on proceeding. The Muhammad Arbcom has a section for Discretionary sanctions, which I take to mean an authorization for sanctioning general disruption in the topic area by parties to the case after the case is closed. Is that a generally correct interpretation? I'm seeing a person involved in that Arbcom (I was a party as well, on the other side of the debate) basiucally not being very accepting of the decision which in large part did not go in their favor. They have bene in effect continuing the same argument that led to the filing in the first place as well as apologizing to new editors on behalf of the project that the rest of us are, in so many words, a bunch of partisan keep-the-images-for-the-hell-of-it doing it on purpose. I was starting an AE filing against this person but got to the part about prior warnings. Would something like this go to AN/I first, and if the consensus is that the behavior is bad enough for a warning, use that finding for AE (the "warned previously" part) if this stuff happens again down the road? Or AE now? Tarc (talk) 18:51, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

I am coming back to you as an authority on all things image-related - I hope you won't mind! I'm currently working on the Human Terrain System page, trying to address concerns about neutrality. The main concern raised was that the article suggested that the program was no longer active in a way that the anonymous editor who added the tag found confusing and unhelpful. I've tried to address this in the text, but I thought that an infobox would also help as it allows a 'dates' field which would make it immediately clear that the program is still active. So - long story short: I wondered if military logos/insignia - or, more specifically, the HTS logo as found here - fell into the 'fair use' category for images. There seems to be suggestion of this (e.g. here) but I'm still not conversant enough with image policy to be able to read between the lines. Thanks in advance for your help, Loriski (talk) 18:01, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

Droodkin (talk) 18:57, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
You might find this interestingI wrote here about a pair of fact/who tags that I added and which were subsequently removed by you. I take note of your removal comment, which was "not sure why we need a ref for this in the lead; it seems like just a textbook definition. Or is some detail of the wording here being contested in a way I can't see?" I actually am contesting the wording. I think there are no such actual people and the article is misleading in that it pretends that there are. I think we need to treat this as a fantasy theory of hobbyists (by which I mean no negativity, it's a fun fantasy theory after all!). One of the issues is that this plausible sounding article provides people with a basis to leak this theory into biographies of real people who, as far as I can tell, do not hold this theory at all, with the implication that perhaps they do. I don't think the current (self-styled) Duke of Anjou is campaigning to take over Versailles for himself, but one can be forgiven for thinking so, having only read Wikipedia on the matter!--Jimbo Wales (talk) 14:03, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
Sigh. So we're back to square one.I guess we are. I submitted many photos. there are 4 in question. first I up loaded a free image a images from the 1913 Francis Bannerman catalog, it showed a image of a surplus of U.S.M.A. sword for sale. Then I upload 3 images from Mowbray publishing with all your paperwork the release from the owners with the correct copyright information (I still have the email). The summary is for Mowbray is mixed up with the Bannerman information. Their name was never entered into the summery, but it shows up in another images summary.1913 Francis Bannerman catalog, Please check the history of the images and it should show that someone edited it and I could not do it if i wanted to. so you will be able to tell who messed around with the summary. I will do everything I can to get it corrected back to the way it was entered and approved by Mowbray publishing. I will also get the image you have in question released by Mowbay.

I do not see the reason for the sudden removal of the picture of the Eaglet Circle and would like to see detailed explanation. The short line you suplied ((F7: Violates non-free use policy: obviously false tag (not the topic of the article, not object of commentary); obviously replaceable)) does not fully furnish details, as it gives multiple reasons. If it violates the non-free use policy I can supply the proof for the non-free fair use; if its not the topic of the article, by reading the article you will find that it is a picture of eaglets standing in a circle (and singing a song, as a matter of fact, see (Eaglet Circle Traditions - Tradition of Songs); if it is obviously replaceable, I already stated in the talk on my page that once I obtain the license-free variants, these WILL be replaced.

I found myself involved in this situation when an IP digged some old discussions I was involved in and asked me to help him (User_talk:FkpCascais#Help_me). He has found himself in the same old edit dispute many of us from WikiProject Football were involved some time ago. There is a possible breaking of WP:OWN on behalve of several Estonian editors who seem to work together in order to edit-war anyone changing the birthplace from (Estonia) to (Estonian SSR, Soviet Union). The later is what should actually be standard for all people born during the Soviet Occupation of the Baltic States, however these editors seem to want to have some sort of exception for Estonia. I actually don´t have a dog in this and I only involved myself back then simply because I defend consistency and historical accuracy, and trouth be said, I did get a bit annoyed by the agressiveness and "are you stupid?" attitude which was a bit thrown to us at that time by the Estonian users. The thing is that, yes, the occupation was not recognised by all states in the world, and yes, it is in fact an occupation, however it took too long, decades, and entire generations who were born in present-day Estonia were actually registered in the USSR and were USSR citizens (considered occupied, or not). While they are the ones claiming POV-pushing when inserting Soviet Union as birthplace, it atually seems more to me that they are the ones making POV-pushing and adding an unconsensual edit (beside edit-warring and owning articles in order to keep them in place and gain the "but that is standard for Estonian articles" argument). Anyway, the IP edit-warred with them, and you rightfully blocked him and the other edit-warrior from the other side who broke the 3RR. Some other users on the Estonian side also edit-warred although they gamed the system by replacing eachother in order to avoid breaking the 3RR. While the IP was naive and kept edit-warring everyone, he did asked for help, and by now I think he understood the a bit of how WP works. So, what shall I advise him? He is right in the sense that Estonian editors end up having their edit in place because of their solidarity and because of their numbers, while hoping that other editors will give-up as allways happend in the past. The situation is kind of unfair as it stands now. FkpCascais (talk) 10:41, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
Shakespeare authorship questionHello FP. From the WP:ARBSAQ log I see you are one of the admins who has done enforcement on this topic. Oxfordian theory of Shakespeare authorship has been going through some activity. Two people who have reverted the article since May 1 have previously been notified under the Arbcom decision: User:Methinx and User:Jdkag. I haven't looked deeply enough into the edit history since May 1 to see if anything would be considered a violation of policy, but it raises some concerns in my mind. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 14:14, 9 July 2012 (UTC) DurresI personally think that your edit here hasn't contributed to any constructive dialogue, unfortunately. You acknowledged the professionalism of the journal yet casted doubt on one of the contributors. Don't you feel that's going outside the remit of what wikipedia is supped to be about?

Blocking Jaan--that is, stating he was content-disputing, not undoing vandalism--is like stating that there would be a legitimate content dispute if someone listed "Lyon, Vichy France" for the birthplace of Michèle Boegner. If I make that WP:POINTY edit and followon reverts while another editor technically commits 3RR to undo my vandalism, would you block both of us? VєсrumЬа ►TALK 18:29, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
thomas moore redirectThe consensus was that WT:UP should not be changed (seen the RfC), and the follow up thread does not show consensus for the change towards disallowing redirects from userspace to mainspace. In other words, there is no consensus, and nothing in WP:UP shows that these redirects are not allowed. this and this clearly shows that there is no consensus that this should be disallowed, nor that it is disruptive. Seen that with the revert, you choose stance against that consensus, I think that either you revert, or protect, not both. Thanks. --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:46, 10 July 2012 (UTC) Adding to this, WP:UP does say: "In general, it is usual to avoid substantially editing another's user and user talk pages other than where it is likely edits are expected and/or will be helpful. If unsure, ask. If a user asks you not to edit their user pages, it is probably sensible to respect their requests (although a user cannot avoid administrator attention or appropriate project notices and communications by merely demanding their talk page is not posted to)." --Dirk Beetstra T C 09:49, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
I'm confused as to your deleting the redirect here. There was an improper close of an RFC and a lot of "IDONTLIKEIT" (and general frustration with Pen, which is often understandable) but I didn't see a single policy based rationale for not allowing the redirect. As a matter of fact, I only saw that the policy went out of its way to only discuss redirecting talk pages, which can't be a mistake or oversight as it would have been easier to include it had that been the original intent. And I see a couple of admins reverting each other. Rather than get into a wheel war, I would ask the same question that I asked in the RFC, which is where is this disallowed and how is it being disruptive? I'm of the opinion that admins should leave editors pretty much alone and not micromanage them unless there is a specific policy violation or greater good that is being served, and in this case, no one has taken the time to actually explain this. Since you did that last revert, perhaps you could, as your explanation is still lacking. We should not be in the business of deciding every editor's user page decision that isn't against policy, as that seems a bit beyond the authority of what we admins (or even a consensus) should be doing.

Per your offer at Talk:History of Pakistan, I just flagged اردیبهشت (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) (his Farsi user name transliterates as "Ordibehesht") as a "confirmed" user. This is the IP editor who was involved in the dispute on that article, whom you offered to confirm once he got an account. Apparently, he tried to contact you (see here at WP:3O), but he was unable to leave a note on your talk page because your talk page is semi-protected. In a note on Ordibehesht's talk page, I re-emphasized the importance of not engaging in edit-warring. Cheers. — Richwales 00:45, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

Noor119848/Noormohammed satyaOn 9 July 2011 you issued a final warning for copyright problems to User:Noormohammed satya. Probably as a result, the user abandoned that account, and started editing as User:Noor119848 instead. (This is evidenced by the two accounts' contribution history, but more explicitly by the identical content (including the user's name and birthdate) on the two user pages.) You recently issued a similar warning to that account, perhaps without realizing that it was the same contributor. If you check the new account's user talk page history (which has been blanked several times), you'll see that the user has persisted, right up to the present day, in uploading non-free images with missing or incomplete copyright information or fair use rationales, and also related problematic behaviour such as adding unreferenced biographical content, posting a number of copyvio articles, removing speedy deletion templates, and removing copyvio templates. He doesn't appear to have ever responded to the scores of warnings posted on his talk pages, except to periodically remove them. As you're the administrator who already issued this user a final warning I thought I'd bring it to your attention first before posting to WP:CCI or WP:ANI. Please let me know if you'd like to continue to deal with the issue. —Psychonaut (talk) 11:07, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

NasrallahI appreciate your help with the Ahmadinejad quote. I wanted to point out something else on the article, which seems like blatant vandalism, but to get your opinion on it. Under Lebanon's reaction, it says "In a speech given to his supporters to mark the sixth anniversary of the Second Lebanon War, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah did not mention the attack." It seems like vandalism. Who cares if he didn't mention the attack? Perhaps the United States Minister of Agriculture didn't mention the attack either, does that belong under the U.S. reaction?? The original line was "In a speech given to his supporters to mark the sixth anniversary of the Second Lebanon War, Hezbollah Secretary General Hassan Nasrallah did not take responsibility for the attack, but said that Hezbollah is "chasing Israelis day and night" and promised a "big surprise" for Israel." Thus, to me it appeared to be vandalism, by removing one part of the sentence to create an unnecessary sentence, or maybe take a jab at an editor. I feel that the original sentence is perfectly fine and maintains NPOV. What are your thoughts on this? --Activism1234 22:37, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Most of these did not have specific statements that they were under the Open Government License at their source (some may now), but are under the license nonetheless: Their copyright is owned by the crown, so unless they are by agencies with exemptions (delegations of authority) from the U.K. government's main licensing scheme, they are released by Her Majesty's Stationery Office. (These are all the images you deleted which were listed at PUF except some by the Ministry of Defense, which has a delegation of authority—I might ask you about these if matters become clearer, or about images not listed at PUF.)

Hello, I saw that you protected the page Battle of Aleppo for a full two weeks from people editing.

ARTICLE AMINUR RAHMAN,KHOSRUDear Sir, The article was deleted by you on 6th Augst,2012 16.08 Hours with the grounds that the article is poorly sourced and a Baiographic vanity. The person was a youngest commander of Mongla operation of 15th August 1971. As per wiki sources regulation of Military persons biography,he comes under clause five, where it is clearly said that if a person has commanded a certain war,whoes biography could be prserved in wiki. Beside that,article was well sourced with book refrences which all have ISBN Numbers. I am sure,I won´t be able to convince you through my arguments.For that I am too small to you.If you want to do some thing,there is a way.If you wish you can re-install the article again. About Bangladeshis there are few articles.He being a freedom fighter, commander of an operation ,deserve that the article should be re-installed again. I am appealing you to consider the matter once again and request you if the wiki terms conditions allows,please re-install the article again. I know you have syampathie for those who are neglected and repressed. The person have done some thing which is really known to Bangladesh Liberation war.There are many Biographies of Bangladeshis in Wiki who even have not commanded a war or was not prsent in Military operation still the name of those persons life histroy could be seen as wikipedia Military persons biography. I hope you will consider the matter and give me advises how to re-install the article. With regards, --Frankfurt55 (talk) 21:43, 9 August 2012 (UTC) A barnstar for you!

The TfD only decided on the question of whether or not to delete the template, not whether – and where – to make its use obligatory. If you claim there is a consensus to use it project-wide, on hundreds or perhaps thousands of pages, that requires a very strong, formal consensus procedure, not something cooked up between a handful of people on a single page. In the absence of such a procedure, yes, only local consensus on each individual article counts. If you want an RfC on Talk:Byzantine empire, feel free to open one.

Olympic GamesHello Future Perfect. I was wondering if I could seek the opinion of an uninvolved editor with a knowledge of Greek. Two Greek editors are attempting to insert the modern Greek name of the Olympics into the first line of the article on Olympic Games, on the grounds that they're "giving the etymology" and "this is the original term". I don't normally consult outside editors like this, but the linguistic claims are so odd, and superficially credible (e.g. the ancient name "ta Olympiada"/"ho Olympikos agon" is simply "another tense" of the modern Greek "Olympiakoi agones"), that someone really is needed to arbitrate. Many thanks and please don't worry if you're too busy/uninterested. --Lo2u (T • C) 07:16, 11 August 2012 (UTC)

Its not true that I came here to Promote Mr.Khosru,I have tried to edit Bangladesh Liberation war in various ways.Because I was a freedom fighter during Liberation war of Bangladesh.Secondly my Masters Degree is based on Liberation of Bangladesh.I have also written many articles in Bangladesh Newspaper on liberation war of Bangladesh.I am not Master of all but about liberation war of Bangladesh I can contribute a lot to wikipedia.Thats my subject and I know many facts and have sound knowledge on liberation chapter.Its my subject of Interest. This is due to my long time study on that Subject.In June 2012,while reading Wikipedia I have noticed the factual error of Operation Jackpot on Mongla and I sent an e mail to Wikipedia head office who adviced me to edit the error.I did that with refrences,then I edited Bangladesh Liberation war Air Force actvties,where the factual errors are yet there.Its not true the Indian Air Force alone took part in Liberation war of Bangladesh.During this edit you warnned me first not to edit article with poor sources.But I edited the article as per Wikipedia rules.You can see the You tube Interview of ATN Bangla TV of 2009 right now.Please go to you tube and write Capt.Akram Interview you will see the interview in 3 parts.The Wikipedia editing and sources rule says categorically that TV Interview which are out dated can be taken as Source.Furtrher more a Military Persons who received highest Military Award can also taken as reference.I am sure you remeber also that due my comments in your page you blocked me and Editor Adita Kabir posted my Edit to my talk page.Which is still in my talk page.But after that I apologise to you personally and by email. Back to your question, I am not Mr.Khosru,Nor I am his friend or I am also not related to him.He is very well known Marine Commando in Bangladesh who came on Bangladesh TV several times and under his command Mongla was operated on 15th August 1971.If you wish I can send my passport photo copies to prove I am not Aminur Rahman:khosru.I know you are German speaking person,I live in Frankfurt for last 30 years and in Germany you can not hide your identity.I shall give you all kind of acess to make an inquiry about me.Only you have to accept that and inquir about me. I have sound study on liberation war of Bangladesh ,I can categorically assure you the fact that Mr.Aminur Rahman.Khosru was the commander of the Operation Jackpot Mongla.There are many books with ISBN Numbers which says Aminur Rahman,Khosru Commanded Mongla Operation on 15th Aug,1971.I can also send you copies of those books either for your kind review.In that way he is a Notable person as per article 5 of Military personals Biography of Wikipedia.This all I learnt while I was blocked.Its the duty of both of all of us to fight for truth and I am doing that.For my mistake I apologise to you but for article I am sure I am right. I know you are not some how happy on me.If you ask me to leave Wikipedia,I shall go away.But you as most known Admin should not have rservation on a particular person,you must depend on the facts and sources.You became angry on me and now you are not accepting any references from my side.You should be more open and we expect from you inspiration and advises. I am not vast learned person like you,often persons like me make mistakes,it should be your duty to advise me in right way. I wrote you earlier too that I am too much sorry and I already apologise to you.I can only contribute in Bangladesh Liberation war beside this my knowledge in other subject are not very sound.I do not want to promote some one but reader should know the fact.Does not matter after how many days or years,the fact must come out.A vast learned person like you should admit the matter . I promise to you if after your inquiry,if it is detrmined that I was wrong than I am ready to take any punishment given by you.But before inquiry you can not say its not true.If you that,I can not stop that but it is not wise decession from your side.You never asked for the prove only you reverted the edits.If edit is not allowed then why is the edit option are there?But for me you have created other rules.Ok ,I will accept your rules since I am a poor person. If this is not allowed or if you dislike me please tell me I shall go away.Just let me know what I have to I will do that.Once again I apologise to you. I wish your sucess and best regars, Frankfurt55

Keep the drama too yourself1) The picture has been on for over a month and it is BS that people want to go and randomly tag crap. 2) It meets the criteria, maybe not in your personal opinion but it does so it does not need to be tagged. 3) I am sick and tired of people starting drama with me every time I come back on here so keep it to yourself and leave the tag of the picture. It is a false tag you are posting and if you are going to do it to mine do it to the one on Pokémon Gold and Silver and if you do not back off the one on Pokémon Yellow cause that is BS that it is okay for one and not okay for another.

All the sources (including several English-language ones) used in the article use the name Kachaghakaberd. There are no sources at all for the name "Qaxach Tower". Would you please restore it to the Kachaghakaberd name. In my post made on 24 June I used the words "any further title moves on this article would be considered controversial". That, under Wikipedia guidelines, should have required you to propose a name move before going ahead and just doing it. I don't see why restoring the article history also meant you could not have kept the Kachaghakaberd name. Meowy 20:25, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

ITN imageHello! Please note that the idea of making the image non-static has been discussed and rejected numerous times. That this is known to cause technical issues (both on the main page and on other pages on which the template is transcluded) is one of the main reasons. The concern that you cited (the unintended association of a notorious individual with someone else) has been raised in the discussions, with no consensus that it's serious problem (due to the image title and "pictured" text). —David Levy 12:57, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

It may take a few minutes from the time the email is sent for it to show up in your inbox. You can at any time by removing the {{You've got mail}} or {{ygm}} template. On my talk page, an editor has asked that I renew my semi-protection of Bulgaria. (The protection log has 20 entries since 2006). You've played some role with this article in the past. Do you have a suggestion of what to do? The nuclear option is to notify a bunch of people of the discretionary sanctions. That is, the ones who are reverting the dates in the infobox without waiting for consensus. A more mundane option would be full protection. Semi-protection would stop the anonymous SPAs but not the registered SPAs. Do you have any suggestions? Would you like to take over the problem yourself? WP:AE is another possibility, because edit-warring with a nationalist motive would be considered abuse under the provisions of WP:ARBMAC.

This article seems to have multiple problems -- it's really an essay more than an article, it is taking a particular point of view, it is not very well written, and it incorporates much material (e.g. on KWIC) that is not really central and in any case better covered elsewhere. I wonder, too, if chunks of it aren't plagiarized. It appears to be an attempt present a Hallidayan approach to linguistic theory, but it doesn't really do a very good job of that.... I am not sure there is anything salvageable from the article -- I am tempted to simply redirect to Lexicon, which should probably mention the term "Lexis" and reference Systemic functional linguistics. I don't know the literature -- is "lexis" a term only used by Hallidayans? --Macrakis (talk) 02:12, 3 September 2012 (UTC) By the way, I have added a bunch of material to Greek words in English and it could use a review by someone competent -- want to take a look?

Tijfo098 (talk) 15:36, 9 October 2012 (UTC) Overarguing at the Beatles mediationFTR, I do hear you, and I will take your advice as best I can without compromising myself. I would be so bold; however, to point out/claim that my efforts at the mediation will eventually save countless hours for other editors long-term, as this situation was nowhere near resolution three months ago. As it is now, we may earn a several year repreve. Further, I want you to know that all I ever wanted to do was get Paul McCartney through FAC without being bothered by the Big Letterists, that's it. I never intended to put an end to this dispute, or even to fight it at all. This dispute was forced on me as I assume you remember, and I was not looking for a 4 month mediation to affirm my right to follow the Wikipedia MoS, and every other known MoS. One could argue, that a point often lost in the overly intellectualised discussions on editor retention, that the extreme tedium required to follow basic style rules greatly contributes to reasonable copyeditors coming to the realisation that Wikipedia is a bit dysfunctional at times, and far too difficult to accomplish the most basic of tasks. (It once took me more than two weeks to get one sentence changed to reflect well-known facts). Anyway, thanks again for all your help and guidance at the mediation. I would suggest; however, that coming into threads with a pre-school teacher/parental attitude of "shut-up, enough already" is not an effective or positive way to deal with artistic adults who have contributed so much to this project, and that in general, the discouragment of discussion does not have a positive net effect on Wikipedia's culture.

Banned User SocksWhile I appreciate the advice, I assume it comes with a confirmed SPI on the IP you blocked? Or was it blocked as an open proxy? (I had no reason to check prior to my response.) But no offence intended, its a bit pointless asking me to do something I am unable to confirm beforehand as I have no idea who the IP was, and am subsequently unable to communicate with them as you have already blocked the IP. A simple message 'This IP has been blocked as a sock of X' would have sufficed. Unless its your advice I dont converse with random IP's who show up at my talkpage at all? Because thats not going to happen. Either way as you have read the exchange you know I have no intention of getting involved in someone elses obsession. My advice to the (unknown) IP can be equally applied to almost everyone else at that AE thread. The deceitful and manipulative nature of some of the allegations there are amazing in their tenacity. I would rather put my arm in a rabid dogs mouth than get involved with that on-wiki. Since you seem to be looking into it however - take a very close look at the timings of the events. I am available via email if you want further opinion. Only in death does duty end (talk) 15:12, 20 October 2012 (UTC) Are you Chinese, why you edit my hometown page?

Bnncff: I removed those images from the gallery because it is inappropriate on Wikipedia and unencyclopedic to have pictures of identifiable private individuals displayed in this way, especially the one to which you added a highly insulting caption. (I'm not sure if you understand the implications of the term "Hoi polloi" in English.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 21:22, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
That's what I got from www.dictionary.com I believe that is PROPER ENGLISH...or you are speaking a slang in your own English dialect. And If identifiable private individuals displayed, how about the picture of HOI POLLOI? One Old Man, one child, they are private individuals too. And indeed Chongqing girls are the most beautiful girls in the whole China, U can ask this question from any Chinese, Then prove I am not telling a lie!kongshengxin (talk) 21:44, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
I get distasted! I guess you are a female...Jealous...And the picture of Hoi Polloi is the working classkongshengxin (talk) 22:01, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
I tell u the truth the others pictures I ask someone else to upload for me, it is from the same website www.cqwuxi.cn, if the author knows his or her pictures on the wikipedia, he or she would like to happy one week!kongshengxin (talk) 22:06, 20 October 2012 (UTC) Request regarding Berlin Victory Parade of 1945At Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history/Archive_114#Wrong_commons_description.3F_1946_Allied_Victory_Parade_in_Berlin you mentioned you found some German sources confirming that another parade took place there in 1946. Could I ask you to add at least a short referenced sentence to the 1945 parade article stating that fact? I don't read German, and I can't find any English source for that. Thanks! --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 17:00, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
Enforcement[33]. You know, Mathsci posted comments in my section, instead of responding in his section as he's supposed to. So, he probably should have been blocked for disruption for not following board procedures. The problem is that you had already posted a response in my section, so he probably felt it was ok for him to do so. So, it's partly your fault that that thread turned into an impromtu debate because you didn't follow the rules. Now, I should be able to post a comment in my section without it being hatted or reverted, as you just did. I'm going to go back and leave a few sentences giving my opinion on recent events. Mathsci is free to respond and have the last word in his section and things can proceed with the enforcement request normally. If you could please refrain from intervention that makes things worse or contributes to an escalation, and as long as both me and him are following the rules, then there shouldn't be a problem. Thank you. Cla68 (talk) 22:04, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
You are named in an Arbcom requestHere. Cla68 (talk) 00:10, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Just a questionWouldn't it best if we really wanted Cla and Mathsci to indeed leave each other alone, that the one way interaction ban be made mutual? From everything that Mathsci's posing in there, think he needs to step back and put down the stick just like Cla needs to.. SirFozzie (talk) 06:02, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

I've a little belatedly featured a remark of yours here on my page. Bishonen | talk 15:26, 27 October 2012 (UTC). Help neededHello Future! I've been engaged in a weird dispute with ZomRe (talk · contribs) at Talk:Byzantine conquest of Bulgaria over the naming of the article. This guy apparently dislikes the "conquest" element, coupled with a rather odd interpretation of the events (Bulgaria and Byzantium fought for 40 years that led to the 1018 surrender of what remained of the Bulgarian nobility, but he disconnects the war from the actual act of surrender). He's moved the article to some bizarre names in the past few weeks, without a readily apparent or coherent rationale (or even accuracy), as long as "conquest" as omitted. Relevant literature (I've cited the ODB as the example par excellence) uses the term "conquest" freely, but here I have a textbook case of WP:IDNHT. I lodged a complaint at ANI, but it seems to have vanished without trace. If you would care to weigh in, I'd be grateful. Constantine ✍ 11:40, 28 October 2012 (UTC) Revert pleaseIf you have a problem with the discussion between Drmies and DC, initiated by Drmies, you should speak to Drmies about it rather than jumping in with a block. Please restore the block to its prior setting. Nobody Ent 21:56, 28 October 2012 (UTC)
