User talk:Ianmacm/Archive 20
August 2022Hey, how's it going? I am writing because I wish to discuss with you our recent activity at Jimmy Savile and its talk page, and my concerns regarding the article as it stands. So when you reverted my edit to the short description, you argued that it was misleading as Savile was not convicted during his lifetime. I can understand your point no criminal charges were ever laid on him, but the police did investigate nonetheless, and he's now believed to have been one of the country's most prolific sex offenders. Based on this, I believe that the short description and first sentence should point this out. My primary concern with this article is the scenario where someone researches Savile on a website external from Wikipedia, and it embeds the Wikipedia article but only the first half of the lead paragraph; they would be reading about this well respected television host who raised money for charity instead of what public perception actually says. I believe that it is needed to at least list him as a sex offender of sorts in the first sentence so that everyone can gain a proper idea of him. GOLDIEM J (talk) 09:10, 24 August 2022 (UTC)
Nikolas Cruz Birth FamilyNikolas Cruz birth family should be included in the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting article at least somewhere because they are relevant to the case as Niks lawyers are using them as reasons why Nik should not get the death penalty.

My edit on usenetwhy do you think that this is not very important? It had been raising a lot of discussions, see e.g. https://lwn.net/Articles/827233/ and I tried also to convince Google to restore comp.lang.oberon, but they did not. You refer to WP:DUE but I do not see nor understand why this might be a reason to delete my post. Banning content, which is of historical interest is not a good idea, although the current users of oberon & derivatives is a small group, I think it should be possible to note that in a two liner.

Notice I added to Talk:FacebookHi. I hope you are having a good day. I noticed that you removed the notice I added to the talk page in question. The page gets lots of nonsense and inappropriate discussions. I decided to put up that notice in order to try to reduce those discussions. I was inspired by a similar notice on the page Talk:Better Business Bureau, which got a lot of WP:NOTFORUM comments. If you look at that page's revision history, you can see that after the notice was put up, the amount of inappropriate discussions went down. I think that the reason why it was more effective at curbing disruption than the {{Talk header}} on the top of the page was because the message was more noticeable and redirected users to where they can reach the BBB. The most common inappropriate discussions on Talk:Facebook are gibberish and attempts to contact Facebook support. Although my custom <big></big> notice will not likely reduce the nonsense, people who think the page is for contacting support will be properly redirected. Thanks for reading and I hope you reply.

I'm sure I've seen the new S&S poll added to other articles so I think it is okay to add it for the 2001 page. We can always go to the talk page if needed. Best wishes for your 2023.

Unclear removal of edit on "Charlatan" pageHey, I'm the guy who made the D&D edit. I knew for a long time that this edit should have been made. Talks on the talk page date back to 2008 and no Modern Usage section has ever been added. I just wanted to stir the pot so to say! I do now see my grammatical mistake, forgive me for it. However, it is well sourced. I wrote the quote with the book in front of me. As such i believe the removal of the edit was unnecessary. link: Charlatan Emilej01 (talk) 22:15, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

People like you are why everyone else hates the editing community here.You reverted an article to a version with even less sources, and even less merit to be here. The type of bad faith editing you engage in is why the Wikipedia community is full of well meaning, but in the end, useless idiots. Not you specifically but you get the point. FYI: If an article doesn't start as a stub, where does it start, I put it out there in the community to encourage others to expand things as you do... I assume... Although, Maybe? Maybe you don't... Maybe you're the type of hapless idiot I'm describing who believes in editing things, in secrecy, in a sandbox on their talk page by themselves? Welp... That leads to the Sysaphean paradox of trying to roll shit up hill like a dung beetle. Rolling the dung up a monolith only to be crushed by it when it inevitably rolls down again, and then people who might be like you (if they could) would be wondering why they died... Which leaves the paradox... This community (if one can call it that) is full of well meaning, but (mostly) hapless idiots (who have inferior knowledge on most subjects to people from academic and scientific backgrounds) but think they have a superiority complex because they can revert someone else's edits. Which leads to another paradox, which is one about why I never (generally) bother to contribute anything to this (stupid) project, even though I am a person with a post-graduate degree and part of the so called "inteligentsia." Or in another way as they say... you might like to know, knowledge is not created in a vacuum, it's created through a construct, and if you understood what that word "construct" actually meant you would also understand why you're dangerously foolish. But I'll let you suck all the air out of the room until your eyeballs pop out of your head (should you so wish?) 120.22.86.142 (talk) 08:40, 26 February 2023 (UTC)

Fantasy novelsThe article on Graham Hancock states on his novels: "His first novel, Entangled: The Eater of Souls, the first in a fantasy series, was published in the UK in April 2010 and in the US in October 2010. " Why do you dispute this? Dimadick (talk) 12:46, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
BachThanks. Always good to hear the master on either the harpsichord or organ. Martin of Sheffield (talk) 11:22, 29 April 2023 (UTC) Jonathan King matterThanks for your reply on Talk. Both the Glitter and Harris matters are clearly listed in the lead, irrespective of their previous careers. A conviction of this seriousness generally trumps all other considerations on Wiki. To say he had a music career before he became a convicted child sex offender is essentially to say that Hitler was excellent with motorways before he started a war. I don't know if you want to kick this one up to mods, or request an RfC, but I must say it seems very odd. The (massive) lead seems almost an attempt to frustrate the inclusion of this absolutely essential information; which, by any metric, belongs in the lead. 86.160.1.163 (talk) 14:10, 25 May 2023 (UTC)

Correction. "Tye".Correction. Matthew Tye (not Tyre). 109.148.131.232 (talk) 16:57, 5 July 2023 (UTC) Matthew TyreHi again - and thanks for your work on the Jonathan King article. Nice job. Wonder if you'd take a look at something. The above article does not belong on Wikipedia, or anywhere else for that matter. It's a cynical misuse of the platform to sell a YouTube channel (his handle there is laowhy86) and down the line - I would guess - merch. This guy lived in Huizhou, China for years. So did I, oddly enough. Though our paths never crossed, he was a known headcase. Together with a pal of his from South Africa, they attracted so much attention to themselves that their visas were finally cancelled. Not nice, I know, but hey! - welcome to China. What ensued was a series of wholly ridiculous uploads in YouTube, culminating in the Bond classic, 'How I escaped China' (he achieved this by simply walking through customs into Hong Kong). This was followed by 'How I got my family out of China' (his wife and son got on a plane). Now, I'm no fan of the Chinese authorities or the PSB, but if they want to arrest you, they will. And if they don't care, you're simply allowed to leave whenever you like - as was the case here. I realise you're very busy, but a quick scoot through the article should make it clear that almost all of it is invented, as was the more dramatic, final YouTube stuff. If you have time, look through his many years of happy YouTube broadcasts from China. The paranoia didn't settle in until the last few weeks. I've seen this happen in China before. It's called being away from home for two long. But as a Wikipedia entry, this is absolute and total bullshit. And I don't think Wiki should be used to hold imaginary grudges or to get a new business off the ground. It should be deleted. 109.148.131.232 (talk) 16:48, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
Barbara Millicent RobertsHello. My full edit summary for this edit was meant to be: There wasn't really a consensus made, so the information shouldn't yet be removed. See the explanation I gave. All other articles about fictional characters give their full names first. I am aware that this article isn't called "Barbara Millicent Roberts". That doesn't matter. Barbie is the WP:COMMONNAME, so is the name of the article. Bill Gates's article isn't called William Henry Gates III, doesn't mean we don't include it. Peter Griffin's article isn't called Peter Löwenbräu Griffin Sr., doesn't mean we don't include it. There is no reason not to include Barbie and Ken's full names.

File:Sayenko suprunyuck.jpg (Warning: Graphic)We are not a censored encyclopedia. If you wouldn't like to see things that offend or disturb you, stay inside at all times and avoid the Internet at all costs. This file is perfectly in-scope and fits all the inclusion criteria per WP:NFCC, so I believe we should portray it accurately, even if it's a little disturbing. Maybe we should move the image away from the lead section per WP:SHOCK, but we shouldn't censor it. Kindly, QuickQuokka [talk • contribs] 19:23, 10 August 2023 (UTC) Per WP:BRD, you should have made a case on the talk age rather than simply reverting. As I said on the talk page, The purpose of this image is to show what Sayenko and Suprunyuk look like, not to show what a dead cat looks like. It isn't even the same image with the pixellation removed, it is a completely different image with the uncensored dead cat right in the middle.

Happieryet (talk) 12:03, 24 September 2023 (UTC) KaynbredOn the Kaynbred user talk page, you argue against the position that Kaynbred was Adam Lanza. You claim that all evidence is "circumstantial", and based around blind conjecture by speculators. The fact that that was replied in 2016 proves to me that you simply have not researched very well/far, considering the DESPP books were released by the state of Connecticut in December of 2013. In 00215670.pdf, 00240684.pdf, and 00215730.pdf of Book 4 of the first DESPP batch, information pertaining to the account (specifically in its connection with mg14c, the Combat Arms clan), is requested from both Google and Nexon. On the mg14c clan page on the Wayback Machine (https://web.archive.org/web/20100206035841/http://mg14c.net/portal.php), user 'Kaynbred' posts a "child" photo (which he later edited and deleted), one user commented on the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' merchandise the child in the photo was wearing. A photo found on Adam Lanza's external USB hard drive (exhibit #24) includes a file labelled 'kayntdlr' (presumably kayn toddler) depicting a young child holding a toy gun wearing TMNT pajamas. Also found on that HD were two files labelled "kaynsu1" and "kaynsu2" which depicted the shooter holding a handgun and a shotgun to his head. From just this, it's pretty obvious that the shooter often referred to himself and was referred to by others as "Kayn"/"Kyn". Kaynbred's location, as listed on forums such as thehighroad.com and on the mg14c clan page, is always listed as Connecticut. 172 Combat Arms screenshots were discovered on the same hard drive I previously mentioned (in use from 2008-2011). I don't even know how I can elaborate on the topic any further, given that this has long been confirmed (since the release of the DESPP books in December of 2013). The evidence is in his computer files, not in the forum dates. In case you want to confirm these computer files I am siting, see 00194691.pdf,Book 4 of DESPP Batch 1). Not to mention that IP searches have revealed the Kaynbred was in the Newtown area. If you consider all of this circumstantial, I really just don't know what to say to you.

My edits at David Amess' murder articleI just want to let you know that I am the same editor who put in edits to various Jimmy Savile articles, such as sources for "The Reckoning". My edits on the David Amess Murder article have been reverted on the basis that "my Nanny is part of The Music Man Project". To explain in full, I was born and have lived in Southend but only came to know of Amess the day he died; the event affected me in my own way, even though I never heard of him, probably because politics is not really my thing and I am a young man with autism. Even so, I tried to write as unbiased as possible, even linking articles such as the Guardian and Manchester evening news, which cite witness accounts to describe the attack as it happened and how Amess' killer reacted to his verdict. When it came to the arrest, because I feel that Ali should not get much recognition, I don't want to write (as shown on the Guardian article) that Amess' killer was calling his sister on the phone when he was arrested. I also changed "legal proceedings" to "trial", swapped "reactions" around and described Ali's horrific behaviour during the attack and after the verdict, as well as Amess' family statement that they felt no elation at the verdict. I do think the Guardian articles could be worth staying and the description of the events that happened could be kept/rewritten to reflect the articles' description of events, though I do think my bad grammar could be fixed. I feel obligated if you could help out my writing/sources with your own version. If you think it's unneeded/lengthened too much, I can completely understand that. The event affected all of us, even my mum and nan and every person in Southend, I'm sure. And I feel it should be more worth remembering Amess than his death. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Murder_of_David_Amess&diff=prev&oldid=1189927451 ~~ 92.17.199.182 (talk) 22:44, 14 December 2023 (UTC) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/92.5.56.242 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/78.150.4.111 Basically, I was the previous editors linked above. 92.17.199.182 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 22:49, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
