Please Retract your Vandalism claim

I refer you to the source of the content which was published on the page that I removed. The source is: "Sursa: www.fcdinamo.ro" . This is therefore duplicate content, because the content is lifted/scraped from a site also listed in the links, aka the official club website. It's a shame, but the site edited by me is 100% Made For Google. Please retract your vandalism claim.adrian recordings (talk) 19:22, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of "non pastas"

Hi, you have removed some entries from the List of pasta article with the cryptic note "these are not pasta, not even close". Could you please explain your criteria? Specifically, why they are "out" while ravioli and gnocchi are "in"? All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 02:14, 10 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, although dumplings and stuffed pasta are somewhat similar, there are fine dividing lines between the two. Things like mandu, for example, are blatantly not pasta. It's a bit difficult to explain; see the respective articles and hopefully you'll see why. GraYoshi2x►talk 20:27, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry but I do not see it. We must be able to write down the definition of this "fine line" otherwise every editor will have his own.
I just edited the pasta article to try to clarify the definition. The strictest defintion, based on the Italian laws, calls for durum wheat flour allowing filled dumplings. However that leaves out the pizzoccheri and gnocchi and perhaps some foreign varieties made with non-durum wheat flour (but may still include some non-italian products; the Chinese use some wheat noodles too, and won ton soup looks not very different from cappeletti in broth to me...). I then changed the definition to durum wheat flour or buckwheat flour to include the pizzoccheri, but I just learned that many Japanese noodles are made of buckwheat flour.
I don't know what to do. My best idea is to go back to durum wheat flour only, with a note to the effect that "gnocchi and pizzochieri are often called pasta, even though strictly speaking they are not". What do you think? All the best, --Jorge Stolfi (talk) 06:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Wonton is prepared in a very different way and has a different taste and consistency compared to most stuffed pasta. I think it would be safe to say that East Asian noodles can be excluded from the pasta list. And yeah, it would probably be better to change it back to durum wheat flour; adding buckwheat flour has a lot of unintended consequences, as you said, with noodles like soba.

Economy of South Korea

Hello, I saw that you made a bunch of edits to the article Economy of South Korea. I just wanted to stop by and say thank you, I was stuck reverting what Softjuice aka Tnaniua kept stuffing into the article before. I found out that they were a bunch of sockpuppets so I was waiting for something to be done about them before getting any changes reverted. Good work, and it looks like we can get back to making it less ridiculously POV now. :) Anawrahta (talk) 09:58, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No problem. I've dealt with this user in the past and I knew immediately that he/she edited the article with all the boasting and excessive image placement. GraYoshi2x►talk 20:52, 20 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Canada

Please do not add or change content without citing verifiable and reliable sources. Before making any potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. GraYoshi2x►talk 22:32, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Please explain what you object to at Canada. Here are the changes [1] I made (I also corrected a small grammar error and added a link to "Elections in Canada" in the "see also" of the Government section):

>>>

, and over 80% of the Canadian population lives within 150 km of it. As a northern country, most of Canada is noted for cold winters, although summers can be quite warm and oranges and grapes are grown in some areas. It is also very urban, with over 80% of the population living in an urban or suburban area. Canada is known for its diverse natural beauty, wildlife, abundant natural resources, and its people's commitment to fairness and equality for all.

<<<

The two 80% figures are referenced later in the article under the section Canada#Demographics. I supposed I could have moved the reference up further, but that is not strictly required under WP. Are you questioning the "cold winters", "summers can be quite warm", or "oranges and grapes are grown"? I can certainly add refs for those if necessary (they are very common knowledge). Are you questioning "diverse natural beauty, wildlife, abundant resources, etc."? I can supply refs for those, but they are very common knowledge.

Also, in Wikipedia we generally don't just remove information because it doesn't have a reference. We use {{fact}} which looks like [citation needed], and then if felt necessary post something to the contributor's page.

Anyway, what I was trying to do here was give some actual description of Canada and what it is known for, besides its long border with the United States. Facts707 (talk) 22:38, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Except the style isn't appropriate and is borderline POV. Just because we have a fact tag doesn't mean that anyone is allowed to post generalities on the overview section of a popular featured article. GraYoshi2x►talk 23:26, 5 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Dogo Argentino

I am not sure you should be the one leaving final warnings on the IP's talk page. You seem to be a very productive and sensible editor--the best thing to do, in my opinion, is to leave it alone for the while. I saw that you didn't reverse the IP's latest flurry and that is good. Thanks, Drmies (talk) 02:41, 7 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

7Cs compass model

Thanks to User:Jeff G. for alerting me to the copyvio speedy deletion tag which you placed on 7Cs compass model. I hasten to add that it wasn't me who created the article, I simply moved it from the Talk namespace and did some basic cleanup - it seemed more promising that the usual crap that IPs create for fun in Talk pages. Anyway, it does seem like 218.230.127.136 is keen to see something on 7Cs so I have reverted it to my earlier version (just after my cleanup efforts) and invited the IP to try again using his own words. Feel free to retag it for speedy deletion if you feel my version is still a copyvio and the IP hasn't done something about it in a day or two. Astronaut (talk) 14:05, 8 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ataturk's ancestors

Why have you edited the information about the parents of Ataturk ?.The references to www.the times.com I've found quiet reliable. There is a fact that Janissaries were not of turkish origin and being formally slaves in the Ottoman empire they still enjoyed very high ranks in the Turkish society. In my opinion this is a very specific feature of the turks ,that they can accept and give a respect to anyone who will convert to Islam and serve the country. So I think you should highlight this fact and even seek some reliable sources, or if you are rejecting these facts then give other references.

Removing content with no real reason

Hi, You have removed, and redirected content on HD, 900p, HD table resolutions.., which is supposedly not standard. Are all WSX???GA resolutions standard. They are in use and many people would like to know what they are about and how they compare to other abbreviations. It is confusing enough for every day person to decrypt how many pixels his laptop/tv/monitor has, why confuse them more by removing content, which is there for the reason for people to understand, not to define some ISOblabla standard. I see many people complain to you about similar stuff in other areas. Maybe focus on adding content, not removing, what is usefull. Regards, ~~Noerr~~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by NoErr (talk • contribs) 11:04, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You're basing all your content on misinformation and neologisms, so either redirect to the proper term or remove the incorrect info. Wikipedia is not the place to go making up random terms like "900p" or "49390220i" or anything of the sort just to inform the "tech novices" while doing away with standardized terms. Should we simplify the H1N1 outbreak article because some people won't understand what H1N1 stands for? …Grayshi talk ■ my contribs 19:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Also, this short paragraph you wrote on 900p is almost completely nonsense:
With flood of 16:9 aspect ration laptops and LCD's, new and intermediate resolutions gets easily marked with p, since computers are only able to display progressive output, and also meaning that aspect ratio is fixed. Resolution 900p is not used in HD-TV standard, but it's rather popular resolution for computer use and will probably remain as a standard.
My edits were made for a reason. People will probably leave your edits to be if they're factual and don't contain OR/speculation. …Grayshi talk ■ my contribs 19:39, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Y Marks the Spot/Bizarro Masterpiece Theatre on "Liquid Sky"

Hi, I'm a professional journalist who posted a review of "Liquid Sky" on its profile. After a bot automatically reverted the edit, I undid it, and then your profile reverted it again. (I'm assuming that your revert was automated.)

I feel that my contribution to the page is an important counterbalance to the general tone of the article. The article praises the film as a cult classic, whereas I feel that it is fairly ridiculous and incoherent. My link is not spam or advertising.

If you feel that my contribution does belong in the article, please re-include it, or allow me to. Ymarksthespot (talk) 19:59, 28 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

For the guideline on reviewing, see Wikipedia:Reviewing. Being granted reviewer rights doesn't change how you can edit articles even with pending changes. The general help page on pending changes can be found here, and the general policy for the trial can be found here.

Grayshi, You reverted the additions I made to the St. Francis intro - which the page explicitly invites. Why?

Samsung Global Scholarship Program - an advertisement by Samsung

The claim is Reads as blatant advertising for Samsung with an arbitrary list of participates in the program. Possibly original research.

While the article talks about the program, how can that be seen as a blatant advertisement by Samsung? Samsung is neither advertising any of its products nor advising anyone to apply. If that were to be the case, it must be seen as the advertisement.

The list of the participants is far from arbitrary. Each of the participants listed either has completed the education or undergoing the study at the said institutes.

However, some of the references such as Samsung supports Seoul school and Samsung Educational Programs on the Moscow State University site should be removed since they advertise Samsung's efforts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by LAMBLAR (talk • contribs) 13:48, 30 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Largest employers

To me, looking at the who the largest employers are in a city gives me an idea of what the economy is like. As to the formatting, it is the formatting that I saw on other economy sections for largest employers; if it worked there, I see no reason why it wouldn't work elsewhere.--Shortride (talk) 22:22, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd still rather have the San Gabriel, California data, limited as it is, than no data, but I can see where you're coming from.

I'm also concerned about your deletions of sourced, relevant material across several articles. the economy of a city is an important aspect. A list of the largest employers is an appropriate item in a city article, though personally I'd prefer it in prose form.   Will Beback  talk  23:55, 8 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I might have been a bit hasty in deleting that, yes, but a small portion of the city's history should not be a section lumped in at the bottom of the article, much less have a whole paragraph about it.

Grayshi, regardless of Skookum1's thanks, I would advise you to take great care with making such removals when you are involved in a dispute. Don't set yourself up as both debater and judge. Skookum1 is a big boy and can take care of his talk page. If you see comments of concern in an area where you're in direct opposition to the commenting party, bring it to the attention of a third party and let them decide what to do. Skookum1 and DocOfSoc have been going at it toe-to-toe for a while now, so I wouldn't necessarily advise even that. I notice too that you don't seem to have made any effort to notify DocOfSoc or discuss why such comments are inappropriate - so your action could be seen as provocative too.

Points have been made by me and other editors regarding this "suburban Chinatown" nonsense. These fringe assertions do not belong in Wikipedia. It does not matter how many sources a neologism has; otherwise, it would not be a neologism. It is almost certainly not neutral considering how non-existent the usage of the term is. WP:UNDUE …Grayshi talk ■ my contribs 21:24, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
That's not the only thing you're deleting. I don't know if you feel you own these articles, but removing every contribution from established editors makes it seem that way. See WP:OWN. At a minimum, if you object to something that's well-sourced and neutral then you should start a talk page thread to explain yourself. As for the Monterey Park/Chinatown issue, I've started a thread at Wikipedia:Fringe theories/Noticeboard#Monterey Park, California. If you like, you can present evidence there that it's a fringe theory.   Will Beback  talk  22:47, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
No, I have no feeling of ownership over these articles whatsoever. But edits that simply add image clutter or unsourced or poorly sourced WP:SYNTH information, such as at Chinatown, Los Angeles leave me to few options. There's no way to compromise on irrelevant pictures that an editor insists on adding without any explanation as to why. …Grayshi talk ■ my contribs 22:53, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You've decided, without proof, that MP is not a Chinatown and have repeatedly deleted any reference to that. You've decided, apparently, that information on famous restaurants does not belong in Chinatown, Los Angeles, yet you haven't bothered to use the talk page to explain your repeated deletions of that material. There are plenty of options besides deleting material you don't like. Please stop removing sourced, neutral material.   Will Beback  talk  23:31, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You can't ask me to prove that Monterey Park is not a Chinatown; it doesn't work that way. Nonetheless, I, along with other editors, have attempted to respond and you brushed our reasoning aside as if they didn't matter. Not an ounce of evidence that those restaurants are any more notable than a noodle shop down the street, especially some run-down closed building that has been abandoned for years. Do tell of the significance of Little Joe's over, say, an abandoned apartment complex that was vaguely seen in the background of a movie. I am not deleting material because I don't like it. I am deleting it because some editors believe they are free to ignore the rules to push a minority agenda. …Grayshi talk ■ my contribs 20:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
If I provide proof that A=B and you say that's wrong then it's up to you to provide sources to support your position. Your "say so" isn't enough.
Your blind revert of the edits to Chinatown, Los Angeles, undid a variety of edits.[6] It looks like you weren't even looking at what you were doing. That's really disruptive. If you continue to delete properly sourced, neutral, relevant material I'll have to seek community review of your editing.   Will Beback  talk  22:19, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A variety of edits, all of which I explained in my edit summary. Calling it "disruptive" and accusing me of not paying attention is just plain insulting. I'm sure that being an administrator, you know that there are more policies and guidelines to Wikipedia than WP:NPOV (by the way, the text actually gives undue weight to minor features) and WP:V. A closed Italian restaurant that was shot in a few movies is hardly relevant to the subject of a Chinatown. …Grayshi talk ■ my contribs 21:20, 20 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of ArcSoft ShowBiz

The article ArcSoft ShowBiz has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable software stub. Marked as single-source since 2007, the single source is link dead. Three incoming wikilinks, the software producer (which has the software in a list, with no content), a disambiguation page and a list page.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Formal mediation has been requested

The Mediation Committee has received a request for formal mediation of the dispute relating to "Northeast United States". As an editor concerned in this dispute, you are invited to participate in the mediation. Mediation is a voluntary process which resolves a dispute over article content by facilitation, consensus-building, and compromise among the involved editors. After reviewing the request page, the formal mediation policy, and the guide to formal mediation, please indicate in the "party agreement" section whether you agree to participate. Because requests must be responded to by the Mediation Committee within seven days, please respond to the request by 17 September 2012.

Discussion relating to the mediation request is welcome at the case talk page. Thank you.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
